Musings on the Week
June 24, 2017
United States – “A house divided against itself
cannot stand.”
Abraham Lincoln.
Politics – Democrats are no
longer liberal:
they aren’t progressive; they aren’t enlightened; they’re not
tolerant; they’re corrupted, radicalized,
subversive malcontents, only happy when anyone right-of-center is cowed into
silence since all decency is dead on the left!
Politics – While not a formal religion, progressivism is like radical Islam in that it is based on
beliefs and doctrine, not provable in a scientific sense, but instead accepted by faith.
Politics – The Southern
Poverty Law Center has served as the media’s expert witness for
evaluating “extremism” and “hatred,” but has displayed an ultra-liberal bias of its own.
Politics – The only
“evidence” the Democrats
can “produce”
demonstrating Russian influence in the election is the inconvenient and
inconceivable fact the Donald Trump won.
Politics – Mounting evidence of collusion, corruption,
obstruction, and abuse of power has emerged pointing
directly at Obama, Clinton, and the leadership of the
Democrat Party.
Politics – The real scandals that have
emerged from the Russia collusion investigation are: 1) domestic political spying scandal and coverup by
NSA; 2) DOJ Clinton
investigation obstruction and coverup by Loretta
Lynch; and 3) NSC
unmasking scandal by Susan Rice.
Politics – If justice was blind in
America, it would be likely that Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton would
each be facing serious judicial scrutiny, or possibly, even jail time.
Politics – The Democrat Party is aligned
with the mainstream media and its 24/7 obsession with
drama over substance to denigrate President Trump and
paralyze his administration.
Politics – The Democrat
Party has endorsed resistance to everything Trump says and does, and never apologizes for excesses, including lying and violence,
of their sycophants.
Political – Democrat obstruction and
Republican timidness have paralyzed Congress, so a Convention of States is needed to generate long overdue
Constitutional Amendments.
Politics – Since the 2016 election loss,
Democrats were quick to escalate the rhetoric from
disbelief, to obstruction, to hate, to assaults, to beheadings humor, to attempted murder.
Politics – The Democrat
“climate of hate” has resulted in 30 GOP Congressman to be physically
attacked or received a death threat since May.
Politics – The Washington D.C. establishment
is pursuing its slow-moving, unconstitutional coup d’etat against America’s constitutionally
elected President, fought by lawyers and actively enabled by the
partisan mainstream media.
Politics - Organizing for
America, and spinoff Organizing for Action, is the
chief fundraiser organization for Obama
in private life:
renegade rabble rouser for the progressive left’s planned re-takeover of
a largely unsuspecting America.
Politics – Democrats are now 0
for 4 in special
elections, each one hyped as a “high-stakes” referendum on Trump, and
each reinforcing his personal popularity and political support.
Media – President Trump no longer allows the partisan
mainstream media to set the news narrative,
countering with Tweets refuting half truths directly to
the American people.
Media – The many changes at the Fox News Channel, including abandoning
their “Fair and Balanced” brand has caused a shakeup in the
rating and viewer “wait and see” attitude.
United States – “Being president is like running a
cemetery; you’ve got a lot of people under you and nobody’s
listening.” Bill Clinton.
Demographics – People vote with
their pocketbook abandoning Democrat lead cities as government increases, taxes increase,
population density increases, personal freedoms erode, families disappear,
welfare increases, schools decline, and crime rates increase.
Economy – Crypto-currencies
or cyber-currencies,
such as bitcoin, are
today’s “tulip mania” with no inherent value and an exaggerated
sense of financial entitlement.
Pension – Underfunded
pensions have
been a known problem for decades, so rewarding states
and cities for this unsustainable behavior with
federal bailouts is not a viable option.
Healthcare
– Both
political parties try to enact comprehensive health care (ObamaCare, now TrumpCare) reform by insisting
on patching up a rickety, malfunctioning model.
Healthcare
– Congressional
Budget Office projections have been notoriously inaccurate and ignored, but Democrats now want to treat them as fact when looking at
replacement bills.
Immigration
– President Trump asked Congress
to pass legislation
banning immigrants from accessing public assistance
within five years of entering the country.
Environment
- Earth is
about 4.5 billion years old, and has experienced five
major Ice Ages and subsequent warming periods, and each had no humans to blame
for global warming.
Education – Offering “free college tuition”
is not free and is really economic affirmative action
and redistribution of wealth, denying quality education to the middle
class.
Education – It’s too bad that,
other than the service academies, there are only about
ten major universities that I would pay for my kids to attend for a balanced
education.
Elections – Democrats, who
invented gerrymandering election districts, no longer like this practice now that Republicans have
mastered this technique for their partisan advantage.
Elections – A post-election
poll found that as many as 5.7 million non-citizens
voted illegally in the 2008 election, once again raising the need to
clean up voting roles and practices,
Drugs – Recreational marijuana
use in Colorado,
Oregon and Washington correlates to an increase in auto collision claim increases,
but have not defined danger rates (DUI, DWI).
Abortion – Planned Parenthood
is functioning today as its eugenics-obsessed founders intended, providing infanticide to
cull out the lower classes and lesser races.
United States – “Washington, D.C., is twelve square
miles bordered by reality.” Andrew
Johnson.
GWOT – Islam
is not a religion, but a theocratic form of government wherein the
people are all kept oppressed under Sharia Law and
all non-Muslims are must submit to Islamic law.
GWOT
– Any expansion in the War on Terror must include quantifiable
conditions of victory, measures of progress, and a defined
exit strategy after victory is achieved.
