The deepest hatred of ...

The most influential Trump-haters don't swim in the D.C. Swamp. They own it

The deepest hatred of Donald Trump is silently invisible

 

 By —— Bio and Archives--August 28, 2019




The deepest hatred of Trump is based on fear of the changes he makes, and threatens to make. Not just in America, but geopolitically across the industrialized world. To them, he’s an existential threat of the first order.
That half of American’s voters who supported Trump in 2016 hear the harsh voices of critics, watch and read the diatribes of the Trump-despising media, and witness the semi-hysterical rants of the Democratic Party. As the decibel level of rage from the Left increases.

The deepest Trump-hatred is silent and unspoken in public

And the Trump-half wonders: What drives my relatives, friends, co-workers, neighbors to hate the current President of the United States with a wrath not seen since that aimed at Abraham Lincoln?
The deepest Trump-hatred is silent and unspoken in public. It is not on display with the vitriol of a partisan pol. Its proponents do not write editorials, nor show up as Democratic Strategists on cable TV.
The deepest hatred doesn’t emanate from the D.C. Deep State. It doesn’t screech with the voice of a Swamp creature.
It is, instead, a whispered utterance among those who own and control the Swamp, but don’t live or work there.
This hatred did not originate with the hoaxers of the Trump-Russia Collusion diversion. Not even from the Obama White House conspirators, nor from the senior levels of the “intelligence community” whose lifers ran the scam to remove Trump.
The deepest hatred of “The Donald” is not from within homes where citizens espouse a code of Victorian civility that deems Trump shameless. For the Victorians, it’s his style that offends them. To them he’s a crude, male chauvinist, an unashamed tweeter of personal insults, a callous name-caller of others. He’s, well…un-Presidential, they say.

Brennan, Comey, Clappers, and those down the intel food chain are stage actors in the drama

The announced hatred from the crown jewel of the Left’s main media is now: Trump’s a Racist.
The New York Times and it’s 1619 Project is a carnival sideshow where the clowns pretend to be academic journalists. But even it’s not the deepest source of hatred.  It’s just the leading mouthpiece that feeds anti-Trump memes to the already convinced with each successive narrative in the Resist campaign that began soon after the election, but was contemplated long before as an “insurance” plan just in case he won. 
As for the long and growing list of collusion hoax perpetrators, in and out of government—they’re on the playbill for the cast of useful idiots in the Resist production. 
The behind-the-scenes Producers are not mentioned in the credits.
If getting to the bottom of the hoax is the current Department of Justice goal—and there’s little evidence so far that it is—Brennan, Comey, Clappers, and those down the intel food chain are stage actors in the drama.  The enablers will remain unnamed. 
We’ll note the absence of the enablers if/when only a few among the cast of hoax perpetrators—most of them government lawyers—escape any adjudicated consequence for breaking laws, even those against the black-robed FISA judges.

The deepest level of hatred for Donald Trump lives outside the Swamp

That outcome will not surprise us. 
We’ve grown to accustomed to there being no accountability by high officials who pervert their federal government employment status. We don’t like it, but what can we do? 
When the dust settles, the breathless media announcements of bombshell developments, startling revelations, and shocking discoveries will be replaced with a new distraction served up by a news media grown unacquainted with the meaning of “news”.
At the end of this movie, the unanswered questions will outnumber the answered.  The invisible, unnamed Producers will give cover to most of their useful idiots, sacrificing only a handful of lower-echelon, supporting-cast members on the altar of partial justice. 
Because, the Swamp takes care of its own.  For an example of that, we need look no further than FBI Director Wray who differs from Comey only in being several inches shorter and in spending more effort grooming his hair. We wait to see whether AG Barr is another Jeff Sessions, but heavier.
The deepest level of hatred for Donald Trump lives outside the Swamp.  He is wealthy; so are they.  But they don’t think anything alike. That makes him a threat to them.
Unlike him, they are immune from investigation. Unknown to the overwhelming majority.  Protected by private security, where they live behind walls of concrete and lawyers.     
The closest that pedestrians can get to them is to stand behind the barricades where their praetorian guard occasionally convene in well-publicized gatherings like Davos and 
Bilderberg. These public events are not for the puppet-masters themselves, but for their senior puppets. 
A former U.S. President once slipped and used the phrase “the new world order”.  It was widely accepted with a collective shoulder shrug.  Few cited it as evidence of a global conspiracy. Isn’t that odd?
Jeffery Epstein goes toes up and those who suggest that the public explanation of his death is specious are, overnight, labeled as conspiracy theorists.
We should question all conspiracy theories with the same critical thinking we should use to examine the motives of those who immediately discount odd events as such.
JFK was shot by a lone assassin and James Earl Ray was unassisted in his assassination of MLK.
The predicate for U.S. involvement in S. Vietnam was a N. Vietnamese attack on American warships in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Trump is the primary enemy of a global alignment of the elite rich and powerful

When pro-U.S. General Lon Nol ousted Prince Norodom Sihanouk as leader of Cambodia 49 years ago, he resisted the 1970 planned incursion into Cambodia by U.S. and S. Vietnamese forces. His change of mind was not influenced by the sinking of his favorite yacht in an inland lake by two Huey helicopters. 
On March 27, 1999, an F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter jet was shot down while returning from bombing a target near Belgrade. On May 7, 1999, the U.S. accidentally bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade killing three Chinese journalists (What’s a Chinese journalist?) working late at night in the top floor of the building below a roof littered with multiple antennae. President Clinton apologized for the incident explaining that the target was misidentified because the USAF had been navigating by an out-of-date Michelin roadmap. (Yep, that’s what he said.)
The suggestion that Trump is the primary enemy of a global alignment of the elite rich and powerful, and that they represent the deepest level of hatred for him, will provoke a skeptical response by some.  But major historical events are not always what they seem, nor align with how they’re sold.   
Meanwhile, the most influential Trump-haters don’t swim in the D.C. Swamp. They own it.

Comey + Hubris as A Strategy…



Hubris (/ ˈ h juː b r ɪ s /, from ancient Greek ὕβρις) describes a personality quality of extreme or foolish pride or dangerous overconfidence, often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance.
There appears to be a concerted media, and allies (think Lawfare), strategy to focus attention to the DOJ decision *not* to prosecute James Comey.  This generates outrage, which has a tendency to create useful backlash.  Mr. Comey also appears to be fueling this.

Remember, it has been clear that part of the “small group” defense is to use outrage as part of their strategy.  Focus on the actual conduct… that’s where corrupt intent is evident.

The issue(s) surround President Obama and high-ranking Obama intelligence officials, notably: John Brennan, James Comey, James Clapper and Sally Yates intentionally lying and/or misrepresenting issues to president-elect Donald Trump and the transition team in/around the transition period and shortly after the January 20, 2017, inauguration.

Some of the misinformation stems from intelligence officials telling direct lies (ex. telling President-elect, and President Trump he was not under investigation). Other aspects were lies of omission surrounding the Steele Dossier during the January 6th, 2017, intelligence briefing session with the President-elect in Trump Tower.

In essence, there were many misleading and false statements, with varying scales of severity, during the period from November 9th, 2016, through mid-May 2017 when President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.
Report this ad


The FBI, DOJ, ODNI, CIA and intelligence officials were intentionally not being direct and honest with President Trump and key members of his new administration. Obviously their lack of honesty was a serious issue, and in some cases had serious ramifications.

The expressed finding by Robert Mueller’s two-year probe of ‘no Trump-Russia collusion, no Trump-Russia conspiracy, and no Trump-Russia obstruction’ has led to some hindsight reviews where anger surfaces about the now visible deception.  However, there is a trap laid here and Democrats are hoping outraged voices will walk straight into it. Some are already getting very close.

At 12:15pm on January 20th, 2017, Obama’s outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote a memo-to-self. Many people have called this her “CYA” (cover your ass) memo, from the position that Susan Rice was protecting herself from consequences if the scheme against President Trump was discovered. Here’s the email:
On January 5, following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election, President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Jim Corney and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office. Vice President Biden and I were also present.
President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities “by the book“.
The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.
From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.
[Redacted Classified Section of Unknown length]
The President asked Corney to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Corney said he would.
Susan Rice ~ (pdf link)
As stated, many have looked at this as a “CYA” memo, but that’s not what this is.

This is a justification memo, written by an outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice to document why there have been multiple false and misleading statements given to the incoming President Trump and all of his officials.

This is not a “CYA” memo, this is a justification memo for use AFTER the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy narrative collapsed; if the impeachment effort failed.

The “By The Book” aspect refers to President Obama and Susan Rice being told by CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, that President Trump was the subject of an active counterintelligence investigation to determine if he was under the influence of the Russian government.

Even the timing of the memo, written 15 minutes prior to the end of the Obama administration, is ex-post-facto useful as evidence of the author’s intent.

Put aside the nonsense aspect to the origination of the investigation for a moment; that part doesn’t apply here…. Accept their position ‘as if’ it is substantive.

We are talking about Brennan, Comey, Clapper and Yates telling President Obama and NSA Susan Rice that President-elect Trump is under a counterintelligence investigation where the suspicion is that Donald J Trump is an agent of a foreign power.

Under that auspices (fraudulent though it may be) the incoming President is a counterintelligence investigation target. A potentially compromised Russian asset. Under this auspices all of the officials would be permitted to lie and mislead their target, so long as they did so “By The Book.”

That’s their justification for a lengthy series of lies and false statements.

That’s why FBI Director James Comey can lie to the President and tell him he’s not the target of the ongoing Russia investigation. That’s the justification for keeping the accusations inside the Steele Dossier (remember, the Dossier is evidence) from the President-elect. That’s the justification for all of the officials to lie to President Trump, and even mislead the media if needed.

The Susan Rice email is one big Justification Letter; setting the stage for all of the participants to have a plausible reason for lies to anyone and everyone.

Call out John Brennan for telling Harry Reid about the Steele Dossier during his gang-of-eight briefing, but not telling Go8 member Devin Nunes about it. Brennan escapes by saying Nunes was on the Trump transition team; and briefing a conflicted politician on the dossier would have compromised the FBI investigation. See how that works?

Call out James Comey for lying to President-elect Trump during the January 6th Trump Tower meeting…. Comey escapes by saying Trump was a target of the FBI investigation for potential compromise as a Russian asset; informing the target of the evidence against him would have compromised the investigation. See how that works?

Every lie, every omission, every false and/or misleading statement, must first be filtered through the “By The Book” prism of Trump being considered a Russian asset. This is the justification trap democrats are waiting to exploit for maximum damage and diminishment of counter attack.

The “By the Book” justification, where every action could have been taken because Trump might have been an actual Russian operative, is the weapon under the camouflage tarp as the radical left lures-in their political opposition. They shrug their shoulders and say in condescending voice: ‘well, we didn’t know; we had to be prudent‘, etc.

Getting outraged about the Obama administration’s lies, misstatements and fabrications can backfire if you don’t first think about it from their constructed frame-of-reference.
The ‘By-the-Book’ framework is based on a false-premise; but the action, just about any action, taken to mislead (even undermine) the incoming administration is excusable under this carefully crafted justification memo. That’s exactly why Susan Rice wrote it; and each of the participating members knows they can use it, when needed.

The way to get around the legal and political defense inside this justification memo is to ignore the activity of those protected by it and go directly to the origin of how they created that false premise in the first place.

….Cold Anger does not take action to spite itself.

The easiest prediction I ever made


The easiest prediction I ever made
by Dianny for Patriot Retort

Yesterday afternoon, I happened to see Kirsten Gillibrand’s “I’m dropping out” tweet and I couldn’t help but chuckle.  I predicted this.  But then again, it wasn’t exactly a difficult prediction to make.
You don’t need to be the Amazing Kreskin or a whip-smart odds-guy to know Kirsten Gillibrand didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell.
The gal couldn’t get above one percent no matter how furiously she pandered. I didn’t call her Goose Egg Gillibrand for no reason.
The “Gillibrand won’t make it through the summer” prediction was about as hard as predicting the sunrise.
During her official announcement rally in March – which she held outside of Trump Tower in Manhattan (to a “crowd” of about a thousand) – Kirsten actually said, “Years from now we will look back at this moment.”
I wrote in response:
Actually, I doubt that clueless Kirsten will need to wait years to look back on that moment. It will be more like months. And trust me, she won’t be looking back with glowing pride.
Instead, as Cordelia Chase put it in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, “You must look back on that and just cringe.”
And here we are just five months after her official announcement, and my prediction came true.
Kirsten’s prediction, on the other hand?  Not so much.
For laughs, I went back and read every column I wrote about Kirsten’s quixotic campaign for President.  And halfway through, I actually started to feel sorry for the girl.
Never in the history of Presidential politics has there been someone so lacking in self-awareness. And considering that most Democrats have the self-awareness of a Macy’s mannequin, that’s saying a lot.
And despite my prediction that Kirsten would be out in a matter of months, even I am stunned at how long she clung to her pipe dream.
Eric Swalwell wised up six weeks earlier than she did. And at least he was valuable for comic relief.
I’m sure what did her in was the news this past week that former staffers were cringing over her silly run for President and calling her obnoxious. That had to sting.
In her drop-out video, Kirsten sounds genuinely gobsmacked over having to drop out.  Which means the only person who didn’t get the prediction right is Kirsten herself.
One final note.  Last night Tucker Carlson did a segment on Kirsten dropping out that is titled “Kirsten Gillibrand was the worst candidate to ever run for any party.”
Yeah, that’s what I said after the second debate in a column titled “The worst candidate in the history of elections.” Great minds think alike.
She really was tremendously bad.
But then again, Kirsten Gillibrand is a tremendously bad Senator. So this outcome shouldn’t have come as a galloping shock to anyone – including Kirsten Gillibrand.
Here’s Tucker’s segment.

DOJ Inspector General Issues Scathing Report on Misconduct by Fired FBI Director James Comey


Article in "Townhall" by Katie Pavlich 

(some may be missing because of shoddy editing, link at bottom of page):




Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz released an 83-page long report Thursday morning. It details misconduct by fired FBI Director James Comey and his handling of memos he wrote to memorialize conversations with President Trump. This report is separate from the highly anticipated IG report about the origins of the Russia investigation and FISA abuse.

"We conclude that the Memos were official FBI records, rather than Comey's personal documents.  Accordingly, after his removal as FBI Director, Comey violated applicable policies and his Employment Agreement by failing to either surrender his copies of Memos 2, 4, 6, and 7 to the FBI or seek authorization to retain them; by releasing official FBI information and records to third parties without authorization; and by failing to immediately alert the FBI about his disclosures to his personal attorneys once he became aware in June 2017 that Memo 2 contained six words (four of which were names of foreign countries mentioned by the President) that the FBI had determined were classified at the “CONFIDENTIAL” level," the report states.



In other words, the memos Comey claimed were his were not, they were FBI property and written on an FBI computer. Further, when he was fired he had no authority to keep them and they were classified.

"Comey told the OIG that he considered Memos 2 through 7 to be his personal documents, rather than official FBI records.  He said he viewed these Memos as “a personal aide-mémoire,” “  like [his] diary” or   “like [his] notes,” which contained his “recollection[s]” of his conversations with President Trump. Comey further stated that he kept Memos 2, 4, 6, and 7 in a personal safe at home because he believed the documents were personal records rather than FBI records," the report continues (bolding is mine). "Comey's characterization of the Memos as personal records finds no support in the law and is wholly incompatible with the plain language of the statutes, regulations, and policies defining Federal records, and the terms of Comey's FBI Employment Agreement.  By definition, Federal records include “all recorded information, regardless of form or characteristics, made or received by a Federal"

LGBTQ Marginalization of Children and America's Apathy Towards Autism

Lengthy article by Deborah Tyler in "The American Thinker"...to finish the article go to:

The American Thinker


By Deborah C. Tyler
There has never been an epidemic in American history to compare with the prevalence and costs of the ever worsening autism crisis.  There has never been a time when the American people, as a unified nation, don't seem to care.  Fundamentally, the stunning national failure to rally science and charity to conquer autism has resulted from a cultural marginalization of children, especially handicapped children.  The tragic collapse of national humanitarian prioritizing of children is a devastating side-effect of the obsessive focus on LGBTQ cultural supremacy and the mindless apportionment of government, media and private resources to serve the ends of LGBTQ sociopolitical exceptionalism.  In America today, queers are in; kids are out.

After years of using shoddy statistical methods designed to under-report autism, the CDC released the statistic in 2019 that 1 in 28 American boys suffers from the disorder.  From a recap of the report by a prominent pediatrician:
What I find unusual about the CDC report is that it states "there was not a statistically significant change in the prevalence of children ever diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder from 2014 to 2016."  However, the report shows it increased from 1 in 45 to 1 in 36.  By trying to say that there is no significant increase, is the government hoping to reassure people that autism isn't a significant problem?  That the rising number of children with autism isn't something that anyone has to worry about?  Are they trying to avoid a panic?
One theory is that resources are withheld from autism research because of autism's anecdotal linkage to vaccines.  There's another explanation: handicapped kids no longer rank at the top of social justice priorities.  The environment, not genetics, changes fast enough to account for a spectacular increase in a once rare neurological disorder, as increasing numbers of children are unable to handle toxic exposures.  So when will panic begin?  When autism is 1 in 10?  One in three?  Scientific neglect of autism would not be tolerated if handicapped children were the highest priority to progressivist cultural values. 

The two leading causes of social progressivism are abortion and LGBTQ rights.  Both of these amount to lifestyle entitlements for adults.  Both tear down the belief that to love and protect children is life's highest calling.  LGBTQ lifestylism encourages people quite able to marry and have children to choose the easier path of a same-sex relationship.  Abortion rights are mainly a spiritual question, while the LGBTQ movement is a cultural imperative.  Spirituality is God's problem; culture is man's problem.  But for the LGBTQ cultural supremacy movement, the leading scientists of this day would be knocking each other out of the way to solve the riddle of autism. They are not because America has lost its soul in the dank mental prisons of abortionism and obsessive LGBTQ exceptionalism.

For the last fifty years, Americans have been subjected to a cultural revolution regarding LGBTQ privileging that would be the envy of a North Korean brainwasher.  Today's post-tolerance LGBTQ cultural hegemony produces bigotry, selfishness, and mistreatment of children that were unthinkable even twenty years ago.

Evil church lady Peter Buttigieg thrusts forth his chestral area in a religious superiority dance.  As ECL Buttigieg directly condemns diversity of belief, he indirectly mistreats all children.  Buttigieg has the all-powerful orificial seal of approval.  More money is being dumped on his head than on Obama's favorite mullah.  Though Buttigieg supports perinatal homicide, he is still a better Christian than you.  Buttigieg has no children and can acquire only motherless trophy children.  (Only illegal alien children desperately need their mothers.  Other children, not so much.)

Cory Booker observed, "We need more conversation about transgenders, especially black transgenders."  How many black transgenders in New Jersey are there compared to New Jerseyites who are struggling to help family members with autism?  Cory Booker has never had children, nor has Kamala Harris or her nemesis Tulsi Gabbard.  Marianne Williamson has one child.  Though she can't get the orificial seal, her public service work is slavishly LGBTQ-oriented.  Peter Yang has a child with autism, but his ideas do not reach beyond pittance socialism.  The NIH admits that HIV/AIDS funding at 10% of the entire budget year after year is disproportionate relative to the impact of what is essentially a gay STD.  If Mr. Yang dared suggest taking a dime from HIV/AIDS to unlock the secrets of autism and help children like his son, he would be committing political suicide.

Here are a few examples of the antagonism between LGBTQ cultural supremacy and the welfare of children.  LGBTQ purses are paying adult men dressed in misogynistic, grotesque costuming to groom children in public libraries for sex-oriented confusion.  Then there's the claque of bigots called the U.S. Women's Soccer team.  They admit they kicked a player off the team because she refused to pledge devotion to their sexual politics.  What kind of mothers could they become, entrained in the selfishness of no higher calling than their own LGBTQ specialness?

The cause of the devastating 1916 New York City polio epidemic is still debated by epidemiologists.  It was extraordinary because of the lethality of the virus and the distinct cluster of apartments in Brooklyn, New York where the outbreak arose.  Today, it is believed that the virus passaged into Brooklyn by laboratory workers mishandling rhesus monkeys at nearby Rockefeller University.  Ground zero apartments were quarantined and addresses published in the newspapers.  As I read the addresses, I wondered if my mother's apartment was one in the original outbreak.  She was nine months old in June 1916, at her sickest with polio.  My grandmother, who was illiterate and feared public health authorities, but with instinctive wisdom, spent hours pressing my mother's tiny legs in hopes of maintaining their capacity to move.

I heard many stories from my mother about growing up as a poor child with polio, all devoid of bitterness and filled with gratitude: her special access to education, the honored status of her braces in the family, and summer trips to mansions on the Jersey shore for parties for "crippled" children.  The happiest period of her childhood was spent in the care of doctors and nurses she adored.  Her left ankle, knee, and hip were fused, so she could walk by swinging her body forward.

Let's compare the national responses to polio and autism spectrum.  (The word "spectrum" betokens a dearth of science.  Asperger's disorder was just voted by committee onto the spectrum.)  On January 3, 1938, President Roosevelt created The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.  Today, no politician of either party is identified with research or charitable work for autistic children.  Roosevelt's Foundation was renamed the March of Dimes by the performer Eddie Cantor, just one of an onslaught of America's biggest stars who lent their prestige to the March of Dimes.  Not a single celebrity today is associated with fundraising to conquer autism.  No Jerry Lewis telethon or Danny Thomas St. Jude's for autism.  LGBTQ and HIV/AIDS remain the obsessive focus of American celebrities.
By 1939, fifty thousand small private contributions were sent to the White House to battle polio.  No such contributions are sent to conquer autism; there's nowhere to send them.  Polio vaccines were developed thanks to private funding of research.  The number of children who contracted polio will become a fraction of 1% of those with brains damaged by autism.  There is zero private funding of research for the incomparably more prevalent pandemic.

In post-scarcity America, parties for crippled children are no longer needed; science is more necessary than ever.  The totalitarian dogma of LGBTQ cultural supremacy has marginalized children, especially handicapped children, and is deflecting science away from the devastating pandemic of autism.

Savor The Media’s Outrage At Being Held To The Same Standard As The Rest of Us


Article by Kurt Schlichter in "Townhall":

 You must have a heart of stone not to burst into uncontrollable, hysterical laughter at the agony of the failing New York Times and the rest of the media over how conservative activists are going to apply the same internet colonoscopy to lib journalistas as they apply to us.

 Monsters!

Fascists!

Meanies!

Oh yeah, that’s the ticket.
Drink in their pain.
Drink it all in.
Mmmmm, that’s some delicious pain.

Yeah, conservatives are fighting back, and to the other side it’s an assault on the free press and further evidence that Trump is totally Hitler and probably Stalin too. But to us, it’s long-overdue counterpunching right into the progs’ soft gut. (Note: The author knows some of the conservatives allegedly involved, but was not involved in this glorious initiative).

This is righteous retribution, and the screaming and hollering about it is further evidence that there’s plenty of dirt to dig up.

Welcome to Accountability City. Population: All you liberal media jerks.

For years, these pompous hacks have clobbered ordinary folks whose only “crime” is making fun of Obama at a rodeo, or making a funny meme about liberals, or understanding that there are only two genders. They pored over the social media accounts of lesser mortals, highlighting thought crimes and sometimes thoughtlessness with malignant glee. They tried to teach us rubes the lesson that disobedience and defiance bring cancellation. They took normal people and hauled them up onto the Aztec altar of human sacrifice to have their beating hearts cut out to appease the demon demi-gods of wokeness.

 Take that, grandmother who likes Trump on Facebook. 
Take that, random congressional staffer who gets snarky about the Obama girls’ partying.
Take that, restaurant that supports candidates the Santa Monica swells dislike.
Take that, kid who stands there while some Frigidaireborne ranger veteran of Dick Blumenthal’s platoon in ‘Nam channels Elizabeth Warren by pounding a drum. 

And now these media cretins are stunned – stunned, I say – at the fact that these new rules they created are going to be applied as a suppository of justice right back at ‘em.

“This is terrible!” they fume, outraged that the very same standard of transparency that they wish to apply to their enemies is getting applied to them, too. It’s vitally important that the preferences and positions of ordinary citizens can be publicly exposed so liberal bully boyz and bully girlz and non-gender conforming bullyz can harass, assault and intimidate their victims into submission.

Yet, it’s also vitally important that the racist, homophobic and otherwise obnoxious ravings of our alleged betters remain hidden because…

Because…

Well, just because.

You know, there’s an undeniable satisfaction to be had from Alinskying these weasels, in taking the New Rules they pioneered and ramming them down these lefty punks’ collective collectivist throat. After all, we’ve been warning them for years that the idea of a two-track system of social accountability – one where there’s one set of rules for the elite and another for us Normals – is totally unsustainable. But to point out that these are new rules is almost beside the point.

To our elite, there are no rules, at least not for them. The concept of rules is simply inapplicable to them. There are rules for us Normals – how else would they be able to hold onto their prestige, power and sinecures if not for a complex web of formal and informal social regulations designed to keep us in thrall and leave them unaccountable for their myriad failures? No, there are no rules for them. 

Rules are limitations. Rules create obstacles. Rules limit the ability to do as one pleases. The will of the elite is justification enough; rules are actually immoral when applied to our betters because rules might foil our betters from fully exercising their better natures to Normals’ disadvantage.

Except we’re not playing that.

Not anymore.

What’s notable about the fallout from this revelation is how few conservatives wimped out with the kind of Fredocon bleating about how this is not who we are and we’re better than that. Even formerly squishy conservatives are no longer being sissies about getting their hands dirty pummeling leftist jerks in the public arena. Sure, some of the Ahoy Boyz on Joe Walsh’s campaign team probably fussed about it, but no one reads their crappy cruise brochure so how would we know? The rest of conservatism is unified through the magic of hysterical laughter.

Conservative wokeness is spreading.

See, the media’s “But we’re a bunch of neutral truthtellers dedicated to the truth and to telling it!” act just got to be too much. You can’t have all the respect and deference an objective news monk might deserve yet still get to act like an active partisan. Dinner is not all dessert – you gotta eat your vegetables, too, and the broccoli is you not inserting your personal opinions into the news. The ice cream sundae is you being respected as unbiased. You gotta gobble your veggies, but they don’t want to.

The NYT’s leaked transcript from a few weeks ago wrecked any chance of anyone falling for their “All The News That’s Fit To Print” baloney again – when the scribblers are hassling their editor because the paper isn’t calling Trump “racist” often enough, you’ve Old Yeller’d objectivity. When you openly plan to replace American history with a garbage narrative designed to undermine the moral foundation of its citizenry’s right to self-government in order to solidify your own caste’s hold on power, you’ve chosen a side in the Octagon, so don’t be shocked if someone figuratively busts a chair over your skull.

Oh well.

You media hacks chose a side, and now you’re going to be treated like anyone else who chose a side. Sometimes, it hurts. The thing is, we conservatives are used to it. We can take it. But you’re not. 

You’re soft, and weak, and when you get hit it’s going to hurt bad.

Too bad.

Your suffering shall be glorious.

Why Socialism, and Why Now?

Article by Victor Davis Hanson in "Townhall":




Rather, the fresh celebrity "Squad" of newly elected identity-politics congresswomen -- Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) -- often either claim to be socialists or embrace socialist ideas. A recent Harris poll showed that about half of so-called millennials would like to live in a socialist country.
Five years ago, septuagenarian Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) was considered an irrelevant lone socialist in the U.S. Senate -- Vermont's trademark contribution to cranky quirkiness. But in 2016, Sanders' improbable Democratic primary run almost knocked off front-runner Hillary Clinton, even as socialist governments were either imploding or stagnating the world over.
After Clinton's loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 general election, Sanders is back, running as a socialist warhorse, promising endless amounts of free stuff, with those promises suddenly being taken seriously.
Sanders, like the members of the Squad, has limited political power. But the celebrity and social media influence of these new and retread socialists has been on the upswing -- especially in the current 21st century climate of radical transformations in economic and political life.
Note the shock over Clinton's 2016 defeat, the furor directed at a take-no-prisoners Trump, and sudden progressive criticism of the Obama presidency as too temporizing, weak and ineffectual. And there are still other undercurrents that explain why currently socialism polls so well among young Americans.
College-educated Americans collectively owe an estimated $1.5 trillion in unpaid student loans. Many of these debtors despair of ever paying back the huge sums.
Cancelling debt is an ancient socialist rallying cry. Starting over with a clean slate appeals to those "oppressed" with college loans.
A force multiplier of debt is the realization that many students borrowed to focus on mostly irrelevant college majors. Such degrees usually offer few opportunities to find jobs high-paying enough to pay back staggering obligations.
Asymmetrical globalization over the last 30 years has created levels of wealth among the elite never envisioned in the history of civilization. In addition to these disparities, "free" but unfair trade, especially with China and to a lesser extent with the European Union, Japan and South Korea, hollowed out the interior of the United States, impoverishing and diluting the once-solid middle class. Warped free trade and Chinese buccaneerism, not free-market capitalism per se, impoverished millions of Americans.
Lots of young people claim to be socialists but are instead simply angry because they cannot afford a home, a new car or nice things in their "woke" urban neighborhoods.
Usually, Americans become more traditional, self-reliant and suspicious of big government as they age. Reasons for such conservatism have often included early marriage, child-raising, home ownership and residence in a suburb, small town or rural area.
Today's youth are generally marrying later. Most have few if any children. Twenty- and thirty-somethings are not buying homes as quickly or easily as in the past. They are concentrating in the urban centers of big- and medium-sized coastal blue cities such as Boston, New York, Portland, San Francisco and Seattle -- but often in dead-end jobs that pay them just enough to get by and enjoy the perks of cool life in the big city.
These are the ingredients for a culture that emphasizes the self, blames others for a sense of personal failure and wants instant social justice.
Finally, schools and colleges have replaced the empirical study of economics, history and politics with race, class and gender indoctrination.
Few young activists of the old Occupy Wall Street bunch, and few of the current violent Antifa street fighters, know the 20th century history of "socialists" who were actually hardcore communists. Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, Soviet Union strongman Joseph Stalin and Chinese revolutionary leader Mao Zedong each killed millions of their own people.
Today's students romanticize Che Guevara and Fidel Castro because they are clueless about their bloody careers. The Castro government for over a half-century was responsible for the murders of thousands of Cubans and Latin Americans in efforts to solidify Cuban "socialism" throughout Latin America.
When our schools and colleges do not teach unbiased economics and history, then millions of youth have no idea why the United States, Great Britain, Germany and Japan became wealthy and stable by embracing free-market capitalism and constitutional government. Few learn why naturally rich nations such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela -- or entire regions such as Central America, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia -- have traditionally lagged far behind due to years of destructive central planning, socialist economics and coerced communist government.
 
The handmaiden of failed socialist regimes has always been ignorance of the past and present. And that is never truer than among today's American college-degreed (but otherwise economically and historically illiterate) youth.

Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder

Turns out Joel Schumacher‘s box-office figures aren’t the only sky-high record he’s got.
The 79-year-old director of smashes like “St. Elmo’s Fire,” “Batman Forever” and “The Lost Boys” recently gave a wide-ranging interview to Vulture in which he detailed some of the more fabled elements of his past, including his drug use and promiscuity.
“Have you ever guessed the number of partners you’ve had?” interviewer Andrew Goldman asked him, to which Schumacher responded, “It would be in the double-digit thousands, but that is not unusual.”
“Double-digit thousands. You mean like 2,000 or 3,000?” Goldman responded. Schumacher corrected him by clarifying: “That’s not double digits, that’s single digits.”
After Goldman corrected his estimation to “20,000 or 30,000,” Schumacher narrowed it down to “10, or 20.” (Again, that’s thousand.)
But the director remained nonchalant about a record that puts Wilt Chamberlain or Gene Simmons to shame: “It’s available,” he said simply.
“Now, a lot of gay people are getting married, they’re adopting, or they’re having children,” Schumacher said later in the interview. “There wasn’t any of that when I was young. If you went into a gay bar and there were 200 men in there, and you said, ‘Okay, who wants to have a little house with a white picket fence, and a dog, and a child, raise your hands,’ or ‘Who wants to get laid tonight?’ The concept of a lovely suburban life or raising children was not a high concept.”
Schumacher’s last major Hollywood release was 2011’s “Trespass,” but in 2015 he diversified, directing an Off-Broadway play and executive-producing a television series.

Simply more proof Homosexuals and the attempts to normalize is proof of mental instability.

If Civil War Comes, Which Side Will You Be?


"Ancient and natural, like those hatched from Hawks and Doves. 

When cornered, desperate, or isolated, man reverts to those instincts that aim straight at survival. Quick and just. 

They will always be the trump cards because they are passed on more frequently from one generation to the next than the gentler genes.

It is not a morality, but simple math. 

Among themselves, Doves fight as often as Hawks."

People wonder if there will be a Civil War in America in the near future, the above saying makes me believe YES!

The 24/7/365 mantra of the Left calling whites, specifically white males the problem will eventually create a cadre of people ready to fight back.

Is this insanity what the Left really hope for?




In this case ISIS is the Democrat Party, Liberals, the Media, Entertainment and Education.

Is Civil War coming?

Thieves target bronze bells from French churches

Police in France are hunting for thieves who have stolen bells from a number of churches in Provence over the past month.
The towns of Ginasservis, Brue-Auriac and Esparron-de-Pallieres have all had bronze bells stolen from their churches.
The public prosecutor said that the bells are either being sold on or melted down for the bronze.
It is unclear if the robberies are all linked.
On 21 July, Ginasservis, about 80km (49 miles) northeast of Marseilles, was the first town to be targeted by thieves. Bells dating from 1867 and 1737 were stolen from two different chapels in the town, Le Parisien reports.
Two of the bells are engraved in Latin which makes them identifiable.
Thieves took a bell from a 12th century church in Brue-Auriac, weighing 85kg and standing 10m high.
 The chapel is outside the centre of the village, which is probably why it was targeted," the town's mayor, Andre Rousselet told AFP. He added that the bell had probably already been melted down as inscriptions would have made the bell harder to sell.
Last week, the 12th century church in Esparron-de-Pallieres was targeted by thieves.
Nicolas Gueury, president of the European Conservatory for Tower Bells told Bloomberg that the bells pre-dating the 1793 French Revolution are precious. At the time. revolutionaries ordered the destruction of nearly 100,000 bells across the country.
"But they are tough to sell," he added.

Jessi Combs: US race car driver killed in high-speed crash

US race car driver and television personality Jessi Combs has been killed in a crash while attempting to set a new land speed record.
Combs' family confirmed that she had died in a crash in a jet-powered car in south-east Oregon, but further details were not immediately released.
In a statement, the family said they remembered her "bright smile [and] positivity".
Combs, 39, had been dubbed the "fastest woman on four wheels".
She earned the title in 2013 when she reached 398 miles per hour (641km/h). Combs was trying to best that speed and the absolute women's land speed record of 512 miles per hour (824km/h) - set by Kitty O'Neil in 1976 - when she crashed.
"Jessi's most notable dream was to become the fastest woman on Earth, a dream she had been chasing since 2012... and she left this Earth driving faster than any other woman in history," her family said.

Her teammate Terry Madden also paid tribute to her on social media.
"Unfortunately we lost her yesterday in a horrific accident, I was the first one there and trust me we did everything humanly possible to save her," he said in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
Combs had appeared on a number of television shows, including Overhaulin', All Girls Garage and Mythbusters.
She was a driver with the North American Eagle Supersonic Speed Challenger team and had been chronicling her attempt to set a new land-speed record in the days before her death.
"It may seem a little crazy to walk directly into the line of fire... those who are willing, are those who achieve great things. People say I'm crazy. I say thank you," she wrote on Instagram this week.

Children Don’t Need More..

https://thefederalist.com/2019/08/26/children-dont-need-free-time-need-attention-parents/ 

Children Don’t Need More Free Time, They Need More Attention From Their Parents

Selfish and lonely parents are disregarding the importance of bonding with their children, and it's leading to a generation of lonely, isolated kids.

In a recent article in The New York Times, writer Kim Brooks brings up a serious problem that has arisen in the past decade: On the whole, kids have become sadder and lonelier. To make her point, she cites the increasing rates of depression among young people and quotes psychologist Peter Gray, who suggests a connection between structured school environments and suicidal ideation. 
Brooks concludes kids need more time and space to play and interact with others. As it stands, she suggests, the children are confined and set to work on academic drills like prisoners in a labor camp.
In identifying this problem with today’s youth, Brooks is correct. Many teachers and parents have noticed something different with the current generation of kids: They seem more sluggish, introverted, yet constantly tense. 
Much of this has to do with the fact that many have screens constantly casting a pale glow on their expressionless faces, but this is the effect of a deeper problem. Kids have come to fear real-life interaction and try to minimize personal contact as much as possible — so they hide behind their phones, distract themselves to relieve the tension, and make memes about how unbearably awkward and depressing everything is. 
Parents and educators often welcome this (they are the ones providing those smartphones and iPads, after all) because it sedates normally rowdy children. Prescribing Ritalin and Adderall en masse was a thing for millennials growing up in the ’90s and early ’00s. The iGen now has screens in addition to medication, which often work better at tempering hyperactivity and neutralizing negative emotions but also result in more isolation.
Brooks notes the role of technology in the widespread depression among children but rightly sees this as more a symptom than a cause: “Children turn to screens because opportunities for real-life human interaction have vanished.” Screens do not make kids sad and lonely; sad and lonely kids tend to rely more on screens for consolation. Therefore, taking away the screens will likely not fix the problem but just make it more painful.

Parents Are Foregoing Bonds with Their Kids

Nevertheless, even if the correlation of phones and depression does not equal causation of depression, it does point to the real source of the problem: parents and cultural attitudes. Brooks deduces this as well, tracing the problem to parental attitudes, but she is overly harsh in her diagnosis and misses the mark. The culture has not left parents “entirely on their own when it comes to their offspring’s well-being,” nor does it force parents to “warehouse their youngsters for long stretches of time.”
What modern American parenting culture does instead is turn parenthood into another job among others, instead of a special relationship that is key to a person’s lifelong development. If this is the perception, then parents can, and probably should, outsource the work of parenting to professionals at a daycare or school and not worry too much about relating to their children. Ideally, the kids will make friends, learn skills, and eventually appreciate what their parents have provided.
Not surprisingly, then, many parents never really create a close bond with their children. True, they care enough for them to feed them, keep them safe, and make sure they learn something at school, but they often do not know or love them all that much — or at least their children don’t feel like they do. 
If the kid is lucky, he may find a teacher or coach to be a mentor and talk to him. Other kids, though, will lose themselves in video games, television, or social media and indeed “lead lives of quiet desperation.”

Everyone Is Anti-Social, Not Just Children

Besides the cultural pressure on parents to leave their kids to experts, or random strangers posing as experts, it is important to note that adults today also suffer from isolation and depression. Although they may never say it, many will try to remedy the emptiness they feel by having children — though some might be content with “fur babies” instead. 
Even though having a child may inspire an adult to become more social and change his or her perspective on life, it may just compound preexisting problems. If a person just wants to go to work during the day and relax and do self-care in the evening, never bothering with a network of friends or a church community, he will not like having children. Such people may like the idea of having children, and tweeting amusing anecdotes about being a parent, but they will find every possible way to keep their kids busy and far away. 
Even if this is not the case and the kids stay home, an anti-social parent is bound to have an anti-social child. This is why Brooks’ free-range parenting solution does not solve the problem. Not only do kids (and adults) need time to play and socialize, they also need someone to teach them how to do these things. Schools can cut down on homework and extend recess, but this will mean little if kids just play on their technology and avoid each other with this time.

Parenting Requires Being Present With Your Own Kids

No, the real solution lies back with parents and the culture that informs and influences them. They must recover the truth about parenthood: It is a relationship that requires genuine interaction and modeling, not trendy strategies and professionals. If this truth were accepted, parents would make an effort to keep up with friends and family, play and talk with their kids, and start cultivating a real home. They would not continue their pre-child lifestyle, blow off social obligations, or delegate family life to other people. 
Of course, making this effort is not easy. Parents may have to sacrifice money, time, and comfort, and subject themselves to things they may not immediately enjoy, such as playing Minecraft or reading the adventures of Flat Stanley (my toddler’s most recent obsession). With these sacrifices, however, comes a profound joy — the joy of loving others and being loved in return. 

As Brooks laments, “Our kids are not O.K.” But this is because our adults are not okay, either. To save the children, adults need to save themselves from the lonely life that the modern world facilitates and encourages. Children could use more free time, but most of all they desperately need a loving home that gives them a reason to be free.
