Musings
Musings on the
Week
March 7, 2020
Immigration - “We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in
good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be
treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate
against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.” Theodore Roosevelt.
Politics – Democrats campaign
on their good intentions of what they hope will happen, while Republicans campaign on what actually happens and
benefits achieved.
Politics – Democrats want to give American citizenship to the world, but the communist virus is
a timely reminder that the illegal and uncontrolled flow of people across our
borders not only depreciates wages and destroys American culture, but also
sacrifices lives of citizens.
Politics – Democrats delight
in creating fear and crises as justification to do things they couldn’t
do otherwise: acid
rain, global cooling, global warming, climate change,
bird flu, SARS, MERS, Ebola, Russian collusion, Ukrainian collusion… no end to their imagination.
Politics – Democrats are the
ambulance chasing lawyers of the political world, but with the outbreak of COVID-19, aka “coronavirus,” Democrats crossed the line
from opportunists to provocateurs, actively trying to
manufacture panic to aid their 2020 political prospects.
Politics – The Democrat
presidential candidate pool has finally winnowed down to the “Angry
Bolshevik” Bernie Sanders vs. “Quid Pro Quo” Joe Biden,
one with a faulty heart and the other with a faulty brain and will require a corrupt brokered convention to decide.
Politics – The Democrat worst scenario
is a brokered convention unable to agree on a candidate
and resorting to a “savior”
like Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, or Oprah Winfrey.
Politics – The media-academia-celebrity-bureaucratic
cultural kluge has
become a godless, repugnant, American-hating, and racist toxic blob that
destroys everything good in its path, so Republican are
despised by that culture and can expect to be under constant attack.
Politics – Even though Donald Trump is
basically an uncontested incumbent, Republicans are
showing support by turning out in record numbers to vote for him in state primaries.
Politics – The youngest person
with a realistic shot of winning the 2020 presidential election is Donald Trump, 73 years of age.
Media – Fake news (lies and filtered news to
fit political narrative) is a first draft of fake
history (rewriting history to indoctrinate the uninformed to support
political agenda).
Media – A survey by Ballot Access
shows there are more
registered independents than Republicans, perhaps a sign that both political
parties themselves are failing.
Media – Morning Consult did an
extensive, in-depth
poll looking at trust, and it found that trust
in President Trump is more than
twice that of the news media.
Immigration - “There can be no divided allegiance
here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an
American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have
room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have
room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt.
Government – The Victims of Communism
Memorial Foundation reveals that more than 100 million
people have perished as a result of communism from the purge policies of
Mao and Stalin, including starvation, under the dictatorships in North Korea,
Eastern Europe and Cuba.
Government - California is strangling itself on leftist ideology: climate change, welfare
state, identity groups, and “lawfare”
enforcement with its own embedded leftist deep state.
Healthcare – The old-fashioned Asian flu, the regular kind of constantly changing
viruses that many of us take shots for every year, kills
from 25,000 to 69,000 Americans every year.
Healthcare – On the 10th anniversary ObamaCare, results
show it failed
to solve the health care problems it was targeted at, and it compounded many issues
it was meant to fix.
Agriculture – Plant life on
Earth has increased by 14% in the last 30 years as a result of increased CO2 levels and
slightly higher temperatures.
Agriculture – Most of the
nation’s certified organic farms are dramatically inefficient showing a “yield
gap” -organic strawberries yielded 61% less than conventional
farms; fresh tomatoes, 61% less; tangerines, 58% less; cotton, 45% less; rice,
39% less; peanuts, 37% less.
Energy – Reliable baseload
electricity is critical infrastructure that comes primarily from coal, natural gas, and nuclear providing 81% of electricity
generated in the U.S. in 2018.
Energy – Each year $25
billion dollars is wasted paying for so-called renewable energy, overwhelmingly wind and
solar, which is the excess cost of the renewable energy versus what it would
cost to generate the same amount of electricity in existing fossil fuel plants.
Civil Rights – Strength comes
from unity, as
in the “United
States” not from being diverse, since diversity
breeds suspicion and conflict undermining unity and assimilation.
Feminism – There are currently 19 states that allow transgender students to opt
into the sex segregated sport of their choosing, but none of these
states require that the biological male have surgery or other hormonal therapy
as part of their transition from male to female.
Immigration - “There is no room in this country for hyphenated
Americanism. The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of
preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to
permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.” Theodore Roosevelt.
