Musings on the
Week
November 10, 2018
Patriotism – "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." Mark Twain.
Politics – Behind the façade of
the elections in 2018, the political stables became mutually cleared, with both Republicans and Democrats clearing their ranks of
moderates.
Politics – The midterm
elections proved Trump’s critics
still underestimated him
as the predicted Democrat “blue wave” became a blue ripple, barely
winning the House.
Politics – With the Democrats winning the House, the question is how much time will be wasted investigating everything and “re-losing” the 2016
election, searching for mythical impeachable “high crimes and misdemeanors”
to justify a Trump
impeachment.
Politics – The biggest midterm election
takeaway is that America’s urban-rural divide
has deepened with urban areas overwhelmingly Democrat
and exurban areas Republican.
Politics – The future is
not Republican versus Democrat;
it’s nationalism versus Americanized Leninism; and it’s America First patriots versus increasingly violent Antifa
useful idiots.
Politics – Democrats’
identity politics:
Your rights, your entitlements, your claims against others depend on your skin
color, your gender, your sexual preferences, your DNA, etc.
Politics – John Kennedy asked “Ask not
what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country,”
but today’s Democrats ask “What must the country do for me?”
Politics – I predict that President
Trump will match the civility and degree
of compromise to that demonstrated by the
Democrat House, and respond in kind to any rhetoric.
Media – The only reason CNN is still
in business is because of their airport broadcast contract, so expect this cable network to fold once this contract ends,
since they sacrificed integrity.
Media – It is about
time that President Trump asserted
some control over relations with the mainstream media, and rating and ranking
organizations and reporters is long overdue.
Culture – Modern America is
characterized by intense grassroots distrust of
American elites — with red America especially disdainful of progressive
elite institutions.
Government – "Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.” Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Government – Of the 260
million people killed through democide last century,
the Chinese communists caused more than 80 million
deaths, the Soviet communists for 63 million and the German national socialists
(Nazis) 21 million, while other socialist
regimes, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Cuba and North
Korea, accounted for 8 million more.
Finance – The real
question is whether bitcoin is just a very complex global
technology pyramid scheme that depends on scamming more and more greedy people to join.
Debt – America’s three largest
cities, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, are governed
almost exclusively by Democrats and are
all teetering on the edge of fiscal disaster.
Jobs - Economy
delivering records:
unemployment is at 50-year low, total number of Americans employed is another
record, and more job openings than number unemployed.
Elections – The Heritage Foundation has
compiled a database of 1,165 cases of election fraud
across 47 states, more than 1,000 of them resulting in criminal convictions.
Energy – Renewable wind and
solar energy is unreliable and intermittent and will be unable to replace fossil fuel
energy until battery technology can provide storage to cover outages.
Environment – The global
environmental movement goal has never been about climate change, but
rather to unite the world under a single socialist
government in which there is no capitalism, no democracy, and ultimately no
freedom.
Immigration – Illegal aliens who sneak into this country make a mockery of asylum, since more than half never
apply, only 8.3% even qualify, and the rest just melt into the interior.
Civil Rights – A majority
of recent anti-Semitism attacks have been hate crimes by black nationalists and
Muslims, who identify with Nazi racial supremacy attacks from the past.
Civil Rights – A
post-Obama anti-white zeitgeist is out of Pandora’s box, with statue
toppling, knock out games, self-self-segregated graduations, implicit this,
privilege that, people being fired for thought-crimes, higher taxes on
struggling families to subsidized race-based transfers, racialized
comic book warriors, real historical heroes defaced with graffiti, suppressed
speech, and our national anthem rebuked, while open immigration only makes it
worse.
Patriotism – “My dream is of a place and a time where America will once
again be seen as the last best hope of earth.” Abraham Lincoln.
