Musings on the Week
September 24, 2016
Debt
–
“We
don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a
trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.” Ronald Reagan.
Politics
– The GOP is self-destructing with
every victory followed by a careful program to isolate,
water down, and destroy the victory, with the TEA Party as the latest
incarnation.
Media
– The same people who own and control our government
officials also own the mainstream media, removing the
separation between unbiased reporting/investigative journalism and politically
driven media manipulation.
Politics
- This week’s
distractions from the economy, ObamaCare, and
terrorism: questions on Barack Obama’s birthplace
and India and Pakistan border tension.
Politics
– Just 5.7% of
Clinton Foundation’s budget actually went to charitable grants with the
rest going to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and “other expenses.
Politics – If
any candidate can be compared to Hitler’s mass murder of Jews, it should
be Hillary Clinton, who actively supports Planned Parenthood which
was originally conceived of as a euthanasia technique to control subhuman
races, such as Africans.
Politics – Hillary
Clinton apparently suffers from a multiple personality disorder, smiling and cackling in
public and then morphing into an abusive shrew off camera, so there may be a
medical explanation for Hillary’s mood swings, but the ailment is
probably just her personality.
Media – The Dallas Morning News is the latest newspaper to pay a steep price, in the form of cancelled
subscriptions, for endorsing Presidential nominee,
Hillary Clinton.
Debt
-
“And to
preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual
debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and
servitude.” Thomas Jefferson.
Economy – Just like in the United
States where high taxes drive companies to leave the
country, the European Union will begin to see American corporations exit from the continent.
Finance – The Fed’s policies are
based on the specious academic theory that financial
gambling fuels economic growth and that all economic classes prosper from
inflation and march in lockstep together as
prices and wages ascend on the Fed’s appointed path.
Finance – The Fed is a “victim of its own mistakes” propping up fiat money with
zero interest rates for too long, so now efforts to reverse this damage will just
cause further damage.
Pensions – Pensions count
on annual investment gains of 7% to cover the retirement benefits, but public plans had a
median increase of only 1% for the year ended June 30th.
Immigration
– Obama is enabling
the Islamic hijrah tactic of cultural conquest by
immigration, seeding this country with critical masses of
Islamic extremists to foment unrest.
Immigration
– Almost 100,000 Somali refugees have been resettled in the United
States since
9/11, with the largest number (16%) have been resettled in Minnesota.
Environment – National parks were created
for the enjoyment of the general public, but environmentalists
are fighting to keep wilderness areas inaccessible to the general public.
Gun Control – A legally armed
bystander, Jason
Falconer, shot and killed the Minnesota Somali maniac,
who went on a stabbing spree in the mall, saving
many others from harm.
Education – Homeschooling now
accounts for 3.4% of the school age population, which has doubled from 1.7% of homeschooling
families in 1999.
Education – The National Assessment of
Educational Progress reports only 7% of black 12th-graders scored proficient in
math, and only 17% did so in reading, suggesting the
average black 12th-grader has the academic proficiency of a white eighth- or
ninth-grader.
Education – According to College Board's
2015 report, a large percentage of all incoming black freshmen
have no business being admitted to college, with an average combined SAT
score at 1277, as compared to 1576 out of a possible 2400 for white students.
Civil Rights – Obama is actively promoting racial unrest in this country by denouncing the violence
in front of television news, but then encouraging it by saying the
rioters’ cause is just.
Sexuality – The universally understood (?) term
for the gay community was “LGBT”
(lesbian-gay-bisexual-transsexual), the acronym today has
ballooned to “LGBTQQIAAP”
(lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender-queer-questioning-intersex-asexual-allies-pansexual).
Abortion – Planned Parenthood
commits over 30% of America’s abortions, 887 abortions per day, and aborts 160 children for
every one child it refers out for adoption.
Debt – “All those who seek to destroy the
liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and
shortest means to accomplish it.” Alexis
de Tocqueville.
Trade – The Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership (TTIP) was actually designed to
“harmonize” corporate governance between the economies of wealthy
trade partners.
GWOT – For many Americans, defeating ISIS and radical terrorism seems like an
overwhelming challenge that our leadership is incapable of defining, much less
defeating.
GWOT – The “war of
narratives” can’t grasp the obvious theological
basis of the Islamic terrorists based not on the newspapers, but from what they
read in the Koran and Hadith.
GWOT – Virtually every time a terror
attack has occurred, the actor initially portrayed as a
lone wolf lurking under the government radar, is already known as an Islamic
extremist.
GWOT – The Islamic jihad that the United
States is experiencing will not end until the ideology
of conquest is thoroughly defeated, which may take multiple generations
to complete!
