Musings on the Week
June 23, 2018
Freedom – “There are no great limits to growth
because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.”
Ronald Reagan.
Politics – The American
voter has been betrayed one too many times by the Republican Party, so a Red Wave is sweeping
the nation and the American voter has a real opportunity to elect real
conservatives, America-first representatives to Congress.
Politics – The anti-Trump coalition includes liberals, radicals, conservatives and
elites and the more the President accomplishes the more
the “haters’ become irrational.
Politics – The IG
report found ample proof of bias, but is best understood less as an exercise in truth finding and more a perverted
attempt to manage public perceptions.
Politics – Apparently “did not find
documentary or testimonial evidence of improper considerations, including
bias…” is government-speak for no
confessions or paper trail.
Politics – If progressives (Democrat)
are so smart, why do their policies fail; when conservatives
(Republican) succeed, as they have been doing under President Trump?
Media – A Gallup poll tells us President
Trump is more popular with his own
party than almost any president since World War II with
an approval rating of 87%.
Media – A Gallup poll found that more Americans are satisfied with the country’s
direction today than at any point during the Obama presidency.
Media – Journalism has
become infected with a toxic liberalism,
focusing their energies on pursuing stories that will harm Republicans,
especially conservatives, over 90% negative.
Media – When will the President enforce a minimum level of decorum at White House press
events by withholding press credentials from the
worst offenders/worst organizations?
Government – “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its
limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves." Ronald Reagan.
Budget – If the economy
can grow at 4% each
year and spending can be reduced to grow at only 3.1%, the budget could be balanced in 6 years, according to
Heritage Foundation.
Jobs – The number
of Americans seeking Social Security disability benefits is plunging, the
latest evidence of a stronger economy pulling people back into the job market.
Immigration – Multiculturalism is
an unproven hypothesis
whose various implementations across the globe seem to disprove
its supposed cultural value.
Immigration – Democrats are
over-politicizing the illegal alien children “crisis,” since separating children
from parents is required by Democrat-created laws,
detained in Democrat-built facilities, and
border enforcement solutions are obstructed by
Democrats.
Immigration – Ann Coulter tweeted, “I do not want to
see illegals separated from their children. I want to see them separated from
our country.”
Immigration – Rasmussen found that most voters blame the parents of the separated children at
the border for the latest illegal immigration crisis, not the federal
government.
Energy – Roughly 40% of
America’s corn crop goes to manufacture ethanol added to gasoline which adds cost but reduces
the energy efficiency.
Energy – Wind and solar are intermittent sources of
electricity requiring energy storage for non-generating periods, but storage technology cripples the viability of this energy
source.
Energy – Wind and solar are both
complete creature of government favoritism, nurtured by “temporary” federal subsidies, and after 30 years, we
still can’t cut the umbilical cord.
Environment – Liberals have been wrong so often
that they stopped making disprovable climate predictions or extended the
timelines, so their credibility is not quickly
destroyed.
Education – The number
one reason that is driving parents to pull their kids out of school to home school is the ratcheting up of left-wing rhetoric in classrooms and on campuses.
Feminism – Feminists forfeited their credibility being
driven by liberal ideology instead of feminist principles, attacking women who do not adopt the complete liberal agenda.
Crime – California voters' decision
to reduce penalties for drug and property crimes
in 2014 contributed to a jump in car burglaries,
shoplifting and other theft.
Peace – “Peace is not absence of conflict; it is the ability to
handle conflict by peaceful means." Ronald Reagan.
Defense – President Trump wants to create a new military branch, or new service, dedicated
to overseeing operations in space, which may become a critical future battlefield.
England – Britain
has become Sharia-compliant, submitting to its dhimmi status within Islam
even though their population makes up just 5% of the country’s total
population.
