What Democrats Are Overlooking (Mueller Report)

Robert Mueller was treated by Democrats like an infallible God during his investigation of Trump, with phrases like, "Just wait until the Mueller Report comes in - then we'll have Trump indicted." They were so sure not only because Mueller has a reputation for being the best prosecutor, with great integrity, but also because his team was made up of partisan, anti-trump people, including from the Clinton Team, and they had an unlimited budget and power. They had two years, issued thousands of subpoenas and interviewed several hundred people. Yessir, if  there was any inkling of a crime, they would certainly dig it up.

And for two years we saw exactly that happening. And in spite of all the effort, cost and time, the Special Counsel found exactly - NOTHING! If that team of anti-trumpers could not turn up anything, any sane, rational person would have to say, "Well, I guess there is nothing there" and move on with the People's business.

But not the Democrats in Congress or those running in 2020. All of a sudden they have escaped the asylum and  are now saying  the Mueller Report is bogus, biased in favor of Trump. Really? And now, rather than finally getting back to doing the people's business, they are intent on re-investigating in search of the crimes that the Mueller team was unable to turn up.

Instead of legislating, they are wasting America's time and resources on more bogus investigations to find what just is not there.

Any qualified shrink would say that is derangement. I don't know about you, but I am horrified that America is being represented by deranged people, so intent on damaging the President that they will alienate everyone but their far-left, radical base, and throw away any chance at keeping the power they crave.

America is a great country. Trump has made huge advances, economically and in foreign policy. He is pushing the country forward in spite of the Democrats and corrupt media trying to pull him down. It's time to tell our representatives and senators if they want to take Trump down, do it at the ballot box in two years, but until then to SUPPORT the man who is actually doing the job that needs to be done, instead of trying to be an anchor preventing it.

Why 2020 Hopefuls Seem to Defy Sanity

It seems really strange - Democrats seeking the Presidency are veering farther and farther to the left in an effort to please their base, while alienating the vast majority of Americans. "Forever" investigations, impeachment, infanticide, socialism, open borders, sanctuary cities, collusion - these are far from mainstream, yet all the hopefuls are touting them as their policy. Why would they stake their claim on such things? They must know they cannot win the general election on those issues.

Ah! But that is precisely the point! They must first GET to the general election - get the nomination. And the only way they think they can win the nomination is by pandering to their far-left base. And I am sure they realize that once they win the nod, they will have a really tough time pivoting to the center. But, alas, there seems to be no other choice.

Frankly, I don't see any of the current string of hopefuls getting that far. What I see is a Democrat "Dark Horse", who gets into the race at the last minute, as did Bill Clinton, and by being the moderate, sane voice in the crowd, easily wins the nomination.

If not, the Democrats have a better chance of winning Mega Millions than winning the White House.

Why The Electoral College Is Necessary

It seems that every Democrat running for President, all of whom are trying to change the voting rules  so they can win more elections, are in favor of eliminating the Electoral College. And, indeed, that would insure that Democrats never leave office.

The Founding Fathers understood that the election of the presidency must be fair to all. They understood that if the popular vote were used, the large metropolitan centers like New York and Los Angeles would always determine the presidential elections, because they have so many more people. The Founders knew instinctively that it would be wrong for small geographic areas to determine the policies for all of America because 20 percent of America would rule the entire country.

Seen in a more practical way, consider states like Iowa or Wyoming. Since they have relatively small populations, do you really think any politician would even bother to campaign there if the Electoral College was eliminated? And by extension, would their votes even matter? Of course not.

The Founders also understood something else that is lost on many people - people in the cities have much different priorities than those in rural areas. Cities are where the money is, and they have all the amenities at their feet. There are more jobs. They are far removed from the needs of those who still have to struggle on their own, without those amenities, and without all the power of cities like New York. Hence, city people tend to be more liberal. It is simply a case of Maslov's Hierarchy of Needs - the most basic needs are survival, while the highest levels are more social oriented.

What this means - and intelligent people understand, is that without the Electoral College, the 80% of the people who do not live in cities would just be forgotten, as their votes would be meaningless. The large populations of liberal bastions would always rule.

And that is precisely why Democrats want to upset the apple cart and do away with "the little people" having any representation. You know, the ones they call the "fly over states", who cling to their Bibles and guns.

The Electoral College provides small, less populated states with fair and equal representation. And that is why politicians have to campaign in every state like New Hampshire and Iowa, and not just New York and California.

And now the Democrats are getting worse - states like Colorado and Washington plan on giving all their electoral votes to whoever wins the popular vote NATIONALLY. In other words, the popular votes in those states will not matter, and would not count. For example, if every single person in that state votes for a Republican, but the NATIONAL popular vote goes for the Democrat, that Republican state would  award all their electoral votes to the Democrat, effectively throwing out every vote in their state. And to think people like Senator Warren and Bozo O'Rourke say they want every vote to count. No - they only want DEMOCRAT votes to  count.

Trump's Rhetoric vs Identity Politics

Tim Kaine and many other Democrats, liberal elites and media keep calling out Trump for his "rhetoric" they claim is stirring up all the trouble on planet Earth. But here's a newsflash - most of the trouble, the fighting, hate and discontent is caused by the identity politics of the left that is designed to get groups of people fighting against each other - the poor against the wealthy, women against the men, blacks against the whites, straights against gays, Christians against atheists...you know it's true - you hear it every day on Twitter, Instagram anbd in the news.

The identity politics played by the left is designed to "divide and conquer". They use the tactic in order to pander to each group for their votes, to keep them in power. The simple fact that dividing people is the surest way to create hate and discontent doesn't matter to them. Only POWER!

For them to claim the basis of the hate is Trump's "rhetoric" is absurd, particularly since his rhetoric is nothing more nor anything less than being politically incorrect - in other words, HONEST and GENUINE.

Wake up, America! The deceivers the Bible speaks of are among us.

The "Reparations" Con

Reparations - forcing people who never sinned against you personally to pay money to those who were never personally sinned against. So, let's begin there...

First and foremost, it would do no substantial good - any money paid out would be spent, gone in 2 weeks, and nothing changes.

Next, it would bankrupt the national treasury - there are approximately 40 million blacks, and countless Native Americans - and that would only be the beginning. The cost to ADMINISTER reparations fairly would cost billions more, at least, and here is why...

For the first 150 years, most slaves in America were WHITE, often referred to as "indentured servants", or undesirables exiled to the New World. Do whites get reparations? And how do we track down their descendants?

3700 blacks owned black slaves - do we track down their heirs and force them to pay, also?

Native Americans held other tribes as slaves - how do we track who was who?

Tens of millions of white people in the U.S. are descended from people who emigrated to American AFTER slavery was abolished. Do all those families have to pay? And how do we sort those out?

Many Americans pre-Civil War never owned slaves - in fact, they fought and died to end slavery. Should THEIR heirs pay? And how to determine who they are? And giving up their lives to end slavery - was that not enough reparation?

And finally, what about all those people who have bloodlines from BOTH races? Do they pay themselves? Each other?

There is absolutely no way to determine who was wronged, and who wronged them, and even less possibility of finding all the heirs of each. To do any less, however, would be unfair, as it would pay many undeserving people, and cheat many who are innocent.

In spite of this, there are two (at least) Democrat presidential candidates - Warren and Harris - who are so ignorant of the issues, and so unable or unwilling to think it out (i.e. stupid) who have made reparations part of their policy platform. That, alone should disqualify them for the Presidency. Actually, it should disqualify them from any public office.

Dems Try Boosting Base By Giving Illegals the Vote

Pelosi said it herself - we should welcome these people and insure they are not deprived of the right to vote. And today she took it further by putting forth a bill to give DACA people a path to citizenship, i.e. voting rights. Lest we forget, they ARE here illegally. And if given the right to vote, millions of them will vote Democrat as a "thank you", as blacks have done for generations.

Pelosi also knows that a "path to citizenship" for any illegal is a moving of the Overton Window, creating a slippery slope that will lead to citizenship for many millions of others. They will not stop at DACA people.

I am all for giving them legal residence, but NOT citizenship. Not ever! If we begin allowing people to benefit from citizenship by breaking our laws, our nation and our way of life is lost.

Memory Loss - Can It Be Overcome?

Having reached old age, I find that certain memories are getting difficult to bring forward when I want them. I see a movie star from the 40's or 50's whose name I know as well as my own, yet struggle to recall it (though eventually I do). Or I get up from the couch to go to the kitchen, and before getting there I have forgotten why I was going, though eventually, and with a struggle I do recall the reason.

I have a theory, and if the theory is true we might be able to overcome much "memory loss". Because in cases like these, the memories are not really lost - eventually they can be brought to mind.

The brain is a powerful and complex "natural computer". And I think, like a computer, as it becomes cluttered with vast amounts of input, it becomes less efficient; slower, and could even crash. So when a person reaches their elder years, the brain has amassed a vast amount of input - every little thing you have ever heard, seen, smelled, tasted, touched or learned. The brain becomes a bit cluttered, and, in order to protect its host (us) it stores unnecessary memories "in the attic" much as a computer might compress files to make room for necessary functions. If there is no need to recall Burt Lancaster's name, it gets stored and becomes difficult to unlock.

OK, if this theory has any basis in fact, and the brain puts certain info into a storage unit, then all we should need is access to the storage area, on demand. A way to unlock the memory closet. A key.

I don't think there is any technology (yet) that is capable of doing that, but perhaps the brain, itself, can provide the answer. I can't help but wonder if we could use hypnosis to convince the brain to provide access to the "attic" by use of a "password", just like a computer. For example, under hypnosis it might be suggested that any time you have trouble recalling a name, event etc. that by consciously saying "eureka", or thinking of a specific image, such as a babbling brook, that the brain would recognize that as a key, allowing access to the dusty, cob-webbed attic

I am going to try and find a good hypnotist, and try it on myself. If anyone else who reads this should also try it, please let me know the results.

Of course, this all rests upon whether or not I REMEMBER to find a hypnotist...

Constitutional Rights Are Not What You Think

Everywhere we go these days, whatever media we turn to, the conversation almost always comes back to this-or-that "Constitutional Right". And it never ceases to amaze at just how it is that so many people can be so ignorant about the very basis of American society. It seems they believe that our God-given rights, though given by God and protected by government, are somehow without limitations. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Every right comes with the responsibility to not ABUSE the right. The Founders who crafted, then signed the Bill of Rights did so with the presumption that people would, by nature, assume responsibility for them. They did not believe it necessary to point that out. But much has changed, and in this day and age a lot people aren't inclined to accept responsibility for very much (consider abortion as an example).

We have the right of free speech, yet we cannot yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater (unless it really is on fire), nor can we libel, slander and defame with impunity. But Congress and liberal courts have made it harder to shut down those who will tell any lie in order to fulfill an agenda. Case in point: the so-called "Russian dossier". And while freedom of the press is designed to help the people keep those in power under some control by reporting the facts and truth, much of today's media no longer cares about facts or truth - all they care about is getting the "clicks", and pushing their own agenda even if it means creating "fake news", or giving only one side of a story. The press is supposed to be objective and unbiased. It's not even close to that.

Freedom of Religion has become a sad joke on Christians and Jews, the only sects that keep taking hits from the hard left, and even from our government. Even in Congress we now have anti-Semites and anti-Christians.

The right to assemble, i.e. protest is important, but it is being terribly abused by many on the left who use that as cover - a guise for their rioting and damaging of property. We have a responsibility to protest in a civil, peaceful manner. But that is not what we are seeing from those on the far left or far right.

We have the right to own and bear arms. But with that right comes the responsibility to use them safely, and only as necessary, to either hunt for food, defend life and property, or for other sporting events that include shooting. We do NOT have the right to use guns to murder others, or to rob banks.

Yes, we have rights. But they are not unlimited in scope. Nor can the government infringe on them, legally, though they keep trying because so many people insist on abusing them. And in cases such as the rioting and violence of Antifa or Black Lives Matter, the media turns them into heroes.

We, The People need to begin recognizing and accepting the responsibility that comes with our God-given rights. If we fail to do so, we will lose them!

Prison For Illegals Who Vote

Here are a couple of sensible immigration laws that Congress should (but won't) pass...

1) Any non-resident of the United States who is found guilty of voting in any U.S. election for any federal office SHALL be imprisoned for a minimum of  3 years for a first offense, and upon completion of said sentence, SHALL immediately be deported [this will do a lot to discourage them from being persuaded by Democrats to vote]

2) Any foreign national not a citizen of the United States that seeks asylum protection in the U.S. must apply PRIOR to entering the U.S. and provide COMPELLING evidence that they are being persecuted in their own country on political or religious grounds, or be deported immediately. Any foreign national that is not a citizen of Mexico or Canada (contiguous nations) must apply for asylum in the first country they come to that is not their own country.

3) Children born in U.S jurisdiction of two illegal immigrant parents shall not be deemed citizens - citing "fruit of the poisoned tree". This shall not apply to  children born when at least one parent is a U.S. citizen. Furthermore, children born in the jurisdiction of the U.S. whose parents are visiting the U.S. under a visa or other legal instrument shall not be deemed as citizens, except when said parents shall become naturalized citizens, at which point so shall their minor children

4) Any illegal immigrant legally deported, who then returns shall be imprisoned not less than 2 years then immediately deported, and any illegal immigrant who returns more than once shall be imprisoned not less than 5 years then immediately deported. In either case, there shall be no requirement of due process, as they already had their day in court when deported the first time.

Kids Sue Government Over Climate Change

A number of parents have decided to use their children to sue the U.S. government for "not protecting them from the future damage of climate change". The entire premise is absurd, and no legitimate court would even hear this case, and here are just some of the reasons why...

1) A lawsuit cannot be initiated based on a FUTURE event that may or may not happen

2) There is no guarantee that any climate change will cause those kids any real harm, personally

3) There is no Constitutional right that says the government is responsible for protecting us from the climate, or any natural occurrence

But most important - regardless of any so-called consensus of "scientists", there is no real proof that climate change, if and when it occurs, will have any substantial effect - the climate is ALWAYS changing, and for 87% of the 4.5 billion years Earth has been around, the average mean temperature has been roughly 4 degrees warmer than it is now - any warming is a NATURAL event, and one that Mankind has no power to prevent, short of causing a nuclear winter.

Furthermore, it is possible the climate could suddenly and without warning go in the direction of cooling, which it has done thousands of times in history. Our sun has warm and cool periods. Solar flares can warm things up. volcanoes and super volcanoes can cause an immediate ice age, as can a meteorite strike. In the 13th century the Earth entered what is known as the Little Ice Age (LIA) which did not "end" until the mid 19th century. We are still coming out of that.

In short, lawsuits cannot be initiated based on something that has not even happened, may not happen, and for which the defendant has no means to change, avoid, nor has any responsibility for doing so.

Any attorney who enters such a lawsuit should be disbarred - it is illegal to present frivolous lawsuits.

Just What Is DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM?

We're hearing a lot from the (uninformed) left about "Democratic Socialism", but none of them seem able (or willing) to tell us what, exactly, that is.

Let's start with a simple fact - socialism and democracy are diametrically opposed. In a democracy, the people have the power and they rule themselves. In socialism, the government has the power and rules the people. That is the very basis of both. With that in mind, we must therefore assume that "democratic socialism" must be a little of both - the people rule in some things, and the government rules in others.

But here are the problems with that...

1) Those on the left are stating clearly that they want the government to rule in all the IMPORTANT facets of our life, such as our health care, and the people get to rule in things that have little or no importance at all - pretty much nothing. And that is because of...

2) The slippery slope. By taking over health care, the government now has the right to "protect our health interests", which means they can tell us what we can and cannot eat, and what lifestyle choices we must adhere to (or abandon), all in the name of keeping health care costs down. Remember DiBlasio's law against the "Big Gulp" soda?

And it gets worse. The playbook for radical liberals is Saul Alinski's "Rules for Radicals". It presumes a "long game", and follows the rule of the "Overton Window". In simple terms, the Overton Window is a method of incrementally moving the goal post until you get to what you want. For example, radicals want all drugs to be legalized. They know they cannot get a majority to support that, so they begin by getting the public to accept that there are medicinal benefits to weed, and marijuana  should be allow for medicinal purposes. It was a slog, but they managed to slowly get majority support. Then they moved on to "recreational use". Since weed has already been put into the mainstream of medicine, they are now getting majority support for recreational use. as people are getting tired of fighting it. As more and more people grow accustomed to the use of weed in our society, it becomes easier to make it legal. And now they are working to make cocaine legal...

They did the same with abortion. It was supposed to be "rare", and only in the first trimester. Once that became a societal norm, they pushed it through the second trimester. And then the third. And now, as was promoted by the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, some states are now trying to "legalize" infanticide, by allowing babies already born to be murdered. What's next - killing off those who cannot contribute to society? The elderly mom and dad? The disabled?

That is the Overton Window in action. And they are using it for all sorts of things - health care goes from "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" to "Medicare for all", with no choices of any kind. And gun control - they want to ban and confiscate all guns, so they begin with a minor change like Universal background checks, which ALL experts say cannot be enforced unless we have gun REGISRATION - so guess what comes next? And what comes after that?

And then there's "sanctuary cities", the purpose of which was supposed to only protect illegals from being victimized by not detaining them if they filed complaints as victims. Now look at them!

To get back to the point, once socialism gets a foothold in America by way of "socialism lite" (Democratic Socialism), the slippery slope will require we slide  into true socialism. I say "require" because if we have medicare for all, for example, the costs would then need to be contained. To do that, the government MUST start choosing our foods for us, and dictate our lifestyles. There would be no choice. Socialism is like a cancer on society - it grows! The Overton Window wins the game for the radicals among us. And America is no more.

Democratic Socialism, an oxymoron in its own right, cannot exist. As Jesus so clearly pointed out, "No man can serve two masters". And the radicals fully understand that, and know full well that "socialism light" is nothing less than a foot in the door - or  shall I say, a foot in the Overton Window.

Each of us, today, has a choice. If  your choice is to protect America from the dangers of socialism, take a moment to share this post everywhere you can. It is time to do something besides complain.
