Trump Tweeted

 Trump tweeted.

 Trump was brutally honest.

 Trump stabilized the southern border to a trickle of refugees, and was building a border wall to permanently control our border.

 Trump strengthened Federal anti-rioting laws, and assisted local and state law enforcement, as allowed by our system of Federalism.

 Trump (actually Jared Kushner, his son-in-law) developed the Abrahamic agreements leading to the almost impossible result of peace between Israel and several Arab states  

 Trump held both our friendly trade partners and our antagonists, to fair trade agreements, rather than one-sided agreements where his predecessors made arrangements always in favor of the other parties, and not the U.S.

 Trump insisted that our NATO allies pay their commitments of 2% of their GDP, to the consternation of our big European allies, who were “getting a free ride” at our expense.

 Trump appointed three Supreme Court judges, to yowls, false accusations, character assassinations and rioting by the angry alt-left.

 The “Warp Speed” vaccine development program under Trump produced and made available, Covid-19 vaccines within nine months, rather the normal, several years.

 Trump shepherded the country from a record high economy, through the debilitating Covid pandemic, not always with a sure hand, but doing the best possible in unknown territory.

 Trump was in process of bringing us out of the Covid generated downturn, when Joe Biden got “elected” by 15 million more votes than the saintly Obama did, by sitting in his basement.

 Trump elicited a pride in America, our flag, our history, our culture, and all of our people, whatever the color of their skin or ethnic background.

 But Trump tweeted.

 And Trump was brutally honest.

 And now we have a weak puppet president, run by Marxists, who have vindictively undone all of the above, and who are trying to convert our country into a “woke” cancel culture, fed by identity politics such as “The 1619 Project”, “Critical Race Theory”, defunded police and other trappings of the continuously emerging Marxist dystopia.

 Because:

Systemic Racism, Where?

 

Systemic Racism, Where?

 Claims of racism are everywhere in our country, fueled by Marxist based theories such as “The 1619 Project”, “Wokeness”, Identity Politics, and Critical Race Theory.  What utter nonsense!  The vast numbers of everyday Americans, White, Black, Asian, East Indian, Native, naturalized, and Americans of all stripes, really don’t buy into this corrosive propaganda.  We can hardly avoid the left-wing noise that everything we touch is racist, but unless we are somehow unusually receptive to these lies about race, most Americans know that they are not “racist”.

 We have been the melting pot for immigrants from other parts of the world ever since we were formed as a nation in the eighteenth century.  Whereas at one time our ancestors named O’Grady, or Donatelli, or Rodriguez, or Yamada, or my own Slavic name of Gruszecki, may have elicited epithets from more “native” Americans, of “mick”, or “wop”, or “spic”, or “nip”, or “polack”, our last names have melded into Americana, and, after education and adoption of American culture and values, are now as American as “Smith” or “Jones” or “Brown”. (Although maybe not as easy to spell and pronounce).

 This conversion of a European/Asian immigrant base to fully cultural Americans was not rapid. It took several generations and some bigoted challenges along the way.  Historians will remember the “No Irish Need Apply” signs, and the Chinese Exclusion Act of the nineteenth century, and FDR’s Executive Order 9066 exiling and expropriating Japanese-American citizens from their homes and businesses in the 1940’s.  Other immigrant groups took some time and one or two generations to leave their ethnic ghettos on the Lower East Side of New York City or Milwaukee Avenue of Chicago, or the various “Chinatowns”, to join mainstream America.

 The reason for the references to history is that bigotry and racism followed immigrant groups to America from the start, and although most of this bigotry has dissipated, there still are remnants.  Many northern inner cities are still oriented around ethnic neighborhoods, churches, drinking establishments and entertainment.  Ethnic jokes are not uncommon.  After living in Boston, New York and other eastern cites, when I moved to Texas, I found that these ethnic differences disappeared.  All we have in Texas is “Anglos” and “Meskins”.  Texans don’t distinguish the ethnicity of  “Anglo”.

 The crux of the “racist” push in the country, is our African American brothers and sisters, most of whose ancestors did not come to America by choice.  They came as “property”, or slaves, in chains.  After being exploited as slaves for over 200 years in our young country, these dark-skinned people with African origins were freed and enfranchised as American citizens by our 14^th and 15^th amendments.  But this was only after our most disruptive war, the civil war, in which 618,222 men died; 360,222 from the North to free the slaves, and 258,000 from the South, to preserve slavery.

 The rancor of losing 2.5% of our 1960’s population to free the slaves and enfranchise them, really did not dissipate for 100 years.  During this time, we saw true racism and bigotry against black Americans.  KKK lynching’s, segregation, true voter suppression and withholding of basic rights were common. The civil rights movement was a struggle for social justice that took place mainly during the 1950s and 1960s for Black Americans to gain equal rights under the law. The Civil War had officially abolished slavery, but it didn’t end discrimination against Black people. They, along with many white Americans, mobilized and began an unprecedented fight for equality that spanned two decades, and effectively resulted in de facto acceptance of Black Americans as equals in American life.

 But, somewhat analogous to nineteen century ethnic bigotry amongst European and Asian groups, all bigotry and real “racism”, against black Americans has not disappeared.  It rears its ugly head in uneducated fashion throughout elements of our society.  But it is not at all as pervasive as the Marxist left would have us believe.  There are remnants of bigotry against all ethnic groups, and perhaps a bit more against black Americans because of their ancestors being slaves, and the debilitating civil war and ensuing civil rights movements fought to truly enfranchise them, but American Blacks have pretty much joined the other ethnic groups in the country, as occasional targets for opprobrium.

 Since class warfare is a difficult theme for Marxism in this wealthy country, the Marxist left has taken “race” as the divisive element to abuse and exploit, and to separate our society.  With the ridiculous bordering on the sublime, we see the left pushing “racism” everywhere.  Math is “racist”.  The National Archives Rotunda is “racist”.  Many innocuous phrases that have worked their way into our vernacular are all “racist”.  Critical Race Theory goes even further, and seeks to separate us by skin color, re-introducing a bigotry once thought stamped out in the U.S.

 The sad thing is that much of our society, economy and government, have been hijacked by Marxist entities such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa, using the unfortunate death of a sometimes violent, petty criminal and junkie in Minneapolis as the martyred symbol for social justice.  Using George Floyd’s death as the fulcrum, these Marxists have been able to institute systemic Marxism in our country.  They may call it “democrat” or “socialist” or “progressive”.  What it is, is Marxist and borderline communist.

 There is some relevant pushback at all levels of society and government against this ridiculous effort by the left to paint our country as systemically racist.  In the hearts and minds of thinking Americans, we just know it isn’t so.  We don’t deny differences in our diverse society, but we truly accept our fellow citizens of all races and backgrounds for “the content of their character, rather than the color of their skin”, as expressed by Dr. Martin Luther King, and in opposition to the tenets of Critical Race Theory.

American Justice ala Black Lives Matter

American Justice ala Black Lives Matter

 Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and three other inter-racial police officers were restraining George Floyd, a petty and sometimes violent criminal and junkie, who was high on fentanyl and others drugs last May, when Floyd died with Chauvin’s knee on his neck.  No one excuses Chauvin’s excessive use of force with Floyd, who was exhibiting the disabling effects of the drugs in his system after his violent, drug fueled, resistance to arrest.

 The whole American world literally went wild as a result of George Floyd’s widely publicized death.  Floyd was immediately elevated to martyrdom, and his violence, his criminal and drug use record erased and forgotten.  He was cast as an innocent black man murdered by a racist white cop.

 Marxist groups like Black Lives Matter” and “Antifa”, aided by the left-wing democrats and their biased media accomplices, turned many American cities governed by leftist mayors, into lawless shooting galleries and infernos.  Police were defunded and emasculated, citing anti-black, racist police actions for the anarchic chaos in our cities.  Of course, this resulted in more, black on black violence, with fewer cops to stop it.

 Another phenomenon was the “no bail”, “in and out” rules passed by democrat mayors and governors.  The penalty for rioting and arson in the streets? - maybe overnight in jail, and then free on the streets the next day, with no bail, no matter how many, or how egregious, the offenses.

 And that’s how we Americans spent the summer of 2020.  Confined to our homes and apartments by Covid and Anthony Fauci and the CDC, while Marxist rioters destroyed, not only our cities, but our historical statues and the icons of our past history and traditions.

 The violence in our cities abated after Joe Biden and his handlers took over the government. Anyone ever wonder why the Marxists curtailed their violence with a left-wing, democrat government?

 But BLM and Antifa were poised to wreak further damages in April of 2021 during Derek Chauvin’s trial, if Chauvin was not convicted of “willful murder of an innocent black man”. 

 Chauvin was indeed “thrown under the bus”, and convicted of second degree murder, rather than “accidental death (or manslaughter), in performance of his duty”, which any honest observer would have surmised to be the case.  Perhaps with a condemnation for use of excessive force, but second-degree murder, with a later sentence of over 22 years in prison?  Clearly, this is justice as dictated and blackmailed by the Marxist BLM and Antifa.

 Chauvin’s sentence to 22 years is basically a death sentence. Either he spends all of his term in solitary confinement, or, as a controversial ex-cop, gets a shiv in a lethal place in gen-pop.

 It will be interesting to see how the other officers, Thomas Lane, who is Caucasian, J Alexander Kueng, who is mixed black, and Tou Thao, who is Vietnamese Hmong, all who face similar penalties for aiding and abetting, will be treated at their trials.  I’m sure that BLM and Antifa stand ready to create more mayhem if the results are not to their liking, and if these three ex-cops are not designated “fall guys”, convicted, and given long prison sentences, similar to Derek Chauvin.

Biden’s Dystopia

 

Biden’s Dystopia

 The sucker, Joe Biden, is building the rest of the world back better.  Back to American dollars for the dubious, empty climate accords.  Back to the Kerry orchestrated Iran nuclear deal.  Back to buying energy from foreign sources, rather than producing it ourselves.  Back to unfavorable trade deals. Back to being a sucker and patsy in our foreign affairs.  Back to financing NATO and letting other countries slide.

 The Europeans, Russians and Chinese communists love us.  We’re back in their “club” as a benevolent uncle, rather than insisting that they pay their way.  Putin will chip away, invading and stealing what he can, in face of the weak-kneed Biden cabal.  The Chinese communists will get away with releasing the Covid pandemic that is killing nearly 4 million people, and will continue their economic and military expansion in the South China Sea, and by their “Belt and Road Initiative”.

 The democrats will get away with their illegal actions against the former president and their election chicanery.  Where is the Durham report?  Gone, - poof!  Brother James Biden, son Hunter Biden, and the Biden crime syndicate will continue to get richer, and will continue getting away with it.

 Our beautiful country, and its culture, history and heritage will continue to be ruined by Marxist ideologies where class has been replaced by race.  The Marxist groups, Black Lives Matter and Antifa rule our streets, while the January 6^th protest and insurrection in Washington, DC is cited as “white supremacism being the greatest threat to our country”, with razor wire barricades installed across our capitol.  Critical race theory, which teaches hegemony or punishment based on race and skin color, is taught in our schools,

 An unfortunate event, like the death of a petty criminal and drug addict becomes the symbol for a year of rioting, causing countless deaths and billions in urban damage.  The criminal and addict is elevated to “martyr”, with sections of cities named after him.  Police involved in the incident are railroaded and “thrown under the bus”, to placate the threatening mob, which stands poised to riot and ruin our cities at any hint of anti-Marxist activity which inevitably elicits the epithet “racist”.

 It seems that everything that was working in our country has been reversed by a plethora of Joe Biden’s executive orders, with what seems to be a personal vindictiveness against President Trump.  We no longer have an expanding economy, with low price stability and virtually no inflation.  We no longer are energy independent with low gasoline prices at the pump.  We no longer have a defined and relatively stable southern border.  We are again cozying up to the nuclear seeking Iranian mullahs, and to the leftist climate science perverters.  How about the Abrahamic accords, which was rapidly leading to peace in the Middle East under Trump?

Instead, we now have Kerry supporting the Shia Iranian mullahs, to the detriment of most of the Sunni and secular Middle East.

 Biden’s Secretary of State has been shamed by the Chinese communists citing our “race” issues, rather than we holding the CCP responsible for the Covid pandemic and over 600,000 American deaths.  Also, where are the cries that Biden is Putin’s lap dog, after U.S. acquiescence to Russia’s Nord Stream pipeline?  Can anyone imagine if Trump did this?  And. All “Grandpa Joe” gets is a fawning pat on the head.

 Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the Biden leftists is the blatant censorship being imposed on our country.  Our mainstream media does not report the news.  It dishes out left-wing propaganda.  So, although the country is “going to hell in a hand basket”, what we get from our mainstream media is how great a job Biden and his minions are doing.  This is one form of censorship, - lying and distorting the news.

 Another, and more insidious form of censorship is imposed by big tech on our alternate means of disseminating and receiving information, the Internet and social media.  With no controls whatsoever, the ruling oligarchs of big tech, can arbitrarily censor what anyone says.  They have removed many conservative voices, and even President Trump, from using social media, citing “newspeak” leftist reasons.

 A third form of censorship relates to identity politics, “wokeness” and cancel culture.  The way this works is that once the (normally conservative) target to “cancel” has been picked, a search is made through the target’s social media posts, going back as far as possible in time, hopefully to pre-teen or teenage years.  If/when something inappropriate is found, it is either publicized, or used to blackmail the target out of a job, political position, or other pursuit.  Those that remember the Joseph McCarthy anti-communist purges of the 1950’s will relate to these anti-conservative actions.

 There is some backlash to all of this neo-communist activity.  Some people who voted against President Trump’s brutal truths and pithy tweets are waking up to what the Biden socialists are trying to do – to make this country a totalitarian, one-party, Marxist dictatorship.  These Marxists can still be voted out of power if we retain our constitutionally based state voting rights, a viable senate with a 60-vote filibuster, an undiluted Supreme Court, and only our current 50 states.  Retaining the senate filibuster is really the key, because if this current Marxist crowd manages to somehow ram through a mechanism making the senate a simple majority body, then they can completely destroy our government, and start replacing it with a Marxist dictatorship.

Propaganda as News

 

Propaganda as News

 Josef Goebbels would be proud of our lying, biased, mainstream media!

 Herr Doktor Josef Goebbels was chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, and then Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.  Goebbels used propaganda to convert a somewhat latent European dislike of Jews into a national German anti-Semitism and hatred that resulted in the extermination of over 6,000,000 European Jews.  He also used similar propaganda techniques to elevate Adolph Hitler and other members of the Nazi party to the level of demi-gods.  Goebbels was adept at seizing on certain characteristics of a group, and using lies, bias and “newspeak” to vilify (or glorify) the group in the public’s eyes.

 Josef Goebbels would be proud of our American propaganda machine in the form of our mainstream media.  Because, although entities like most of our major newspapers, commercial TV broadcast channels, and most cable news channels call themselves news outlets, they are, in fact propaganda tools for left-wing politics.

 People have died because of the lies and innuendoes perpetrated by our propagandizing news media, and they will never be brought to task for it.  One example is Hydroxychloroquine, which has been proven to relieve early Covid symptoms, and which still cannot be discussed in our censored social media.  There are many other examples where President Trump was excoriated for views and opinions which later proved true and correct.  Retractions, if any, appeared at the bottom of page 34 of the New York Times or Washington Post, or took up a 5 second spot on CNN or MSNBC at 2 am.

 The propagandizing media actually withheld or perverted news, such as the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, vaccine availability, and anything of benefit to President Trump, to prevent his election.  They also elevated and glorified the stumbling, bumbling Joe Biden, sitting in his basement, to enhance his chances of election. 

 After convincing the gullible public that the election was fair, and that inert and confused Joe Biden won the presidency by 15 million more votes than the saintly Barrack Obama, the propagandists embarked on their main effort, tearing down our American history, culture, traditions and values, and replacing them with Marxist ideology and politics.

 We see this in the current corrosive societal trends, such as, identity politics, “wokeism”, cancel culture, and critical race theory.  The idea of “class” in Marxism has been replaced with “race”, for purposes of instituting Marxist ideology in our schools, society and government.  The goals are the same as Marx and the communists proposed over 100 years ago.  Tear down the legal, constitutionally based government, and replace it with a Marxist one, while left-wing propaganda uses “newspeak” techniques to call these changes “social justice” or “equity”, to sell it to the uninformed masses.

 President Trump called the mainstream media in this country “the enemy of the people”, rather than what they like to call themselves, “the free press”.  Trump was vilified for his comment, but he was right.  We do not get a free flow of news and neutral information from the bulk of our media.  Real news is hidden or erased, and we are fed leftist propaganda and “newspeak”.  After all, it was Josef Goebbels who said “repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it.”  And, unfortunately, much of our uninformed population does not normally think clearly enough to reject the lies.

 Only after the general population feels the effects of inflation on their lifestyles, sees $5.00 per gallon gasoline at the pump, sees their children being taught to hate each other based on skin color by critical race theory, only then, will it sink in exactly how the Biden socialists are destroying the country.  And only then, (if our election procedures have not become too corrupted), will our electorate hopefully get rid of this cancer on our society.

An Embarrassment

 

An Embarrassment

 Joe Biden and his handlers, and their empty rhetoric, filled with “wokeness”, identity politics and critical race theory, are an embarrassment to our country, both domestically, and on the foreign front.  Their vengeful unravelling, without any logical cause, save pure spite, of President Trump’s programs that were successful, and that were working, is obvious to any honest observer. 

 Their attempts, if successful, to emasculate the Senate and the Supreme Court, and to make our country a totalitarian, one-party, socialist system will destroy the country and head it down the path of the world’s communist dictatorships.

 Domestically, even the most hard-nosed anti-leftist will cut Biden some slack because of his obvious senility and age-related mental deficiency.  (Not for the socialist programs being pushed by his handlers, but for Biden’s mentally crippled personal demeanor.)

 Foreign leaders are not that kind.  The G7 leaders laughed at him, ostensibly the leader of the free world, for his mental gap about remembering the President of South Africa, whom he had just met.  Boris Johnson just waved Biden away several times. And concerning NATO and trade, the European leaders just said “the sucker’s back, the sheriff is gone.”

 In another embarrassing interlude, Biden stammered and mumbled in a public address at G7, where he obviously confused Libya and Syria several times.  We have seen this sort of thing happen domestically many times, although the fawning, biased media tries to cover it up.  Now its happening on the international stage, where the foreign media is not as quick to sweep it under the rug.

 Multi-talented and multi-lingual Putin and Xi, will also, most likely, not be very tolerant of Biden.  They will literally “eat his lunch”.  Biden’s handlers are out of their element when it comes to coming to grips with the Russian badger, (not the Soviet bear anymore, more analogous to a badger or wolverine), and the Chinese dragon.

 The lying, biased media will no doubt prop up Biden and the socialists domestically for a while.  One can only hope that the American public perceives what is happening, and votes these neo-Marxists out before they have a chance to completely destroy the country.  One can also hope that there are enough honest democrats in congress to block some of the more egregious measures now being proposed.

China and Covid

 

China and Covid

 More and more evidence is emerging that the Covid pandemic started in a virology lab in Wuhan, China, rather than in bats or pangolins, as falsely reported for over a year.  As in many other cases, when President Trump posited the Wuhan lab origin in early 2020, he was excoriated by our dishonest media, and made to look like a conspiracy theorist.

 It is doubtful, but not impossible, that the communist party of China purposely released the Covid virus on the world.  The CCP were weaponizing corona viruses, so this is not entirely impossible, but it is more likely that the virus was released from the lab accidently.

 Of course, once the CCP knew that the virus had been released and was in the wild, (sometime toward the end of 2019), instead of informing the world, they covered it up and brutally suppressed in within China, but let it escape to the rest of the world.  It should not surprise anyone if they had Machiavellian motives in doing this.  Effectively, someone in power in China must have reasoned, “as long as the virus has escaped from the lab, let’s stamp it out within China and put a lid on it, and if that results in China gaining hegemony over the rest of the world as a result of this, all the better for China.”

 It seems to have worked!  A quick look at China’s 6% + growth in GDP since the Covid outbreak, compared to the puny, 1 - 2% growth in GDP of the U.S. and most other major countries, shows that China’s gambit was successful.  Of course, this is simplistic, and there are many other factors, but directionally…..

 As of June, 2021, China’s reported Covid numbers are 91,400 cases, and 4,600 deaths, for a population of 1.4 billion people.  As a contrast, the U.S. has over 34 million cases, and over 614,000 deaths.  For India, these numbers are 29.4 million cases, and 367,000 deaths.  Even if one applies a factor of 100 to the reported Chinese numbers, they would be orders of magnitude out of line with the rest of the world.

 The CCP lied about the outbreak of the Coved pandemic, and they continue to lie about the numbers within China.  Whistleblowers out of China early in the pandemic reported infected people locked in their apartments and left to die, very high crematoria activity, and millions of people disappearing from telephone listings.  Again, these reports were covered up by the Chinese media, and willingly acquiesced to by our accommodating anti-Trump media.

 Better begin learning Mandarin, (and maybe some Russian and Farsi, too), particularly you Biden voters.  Xi Jinping’s and China’s avowed goal is to become the dominant economic and military power in the world.  President Trump realized that China, not weak, little, badger-like Russia, was our main antagonist in the world, and he held them somewhat in check.

 But this weak, puling socialist government of Joe Biden and his puppeteers, is no match for an ever-expanding China.  Until we install a government that can institute a strong foreign policy, we had better be prepared for further real expansion by China, the nipping away at weak spots in the world by a badger-like Russia, and the development of a nuclear capability and delivery systems by the Iranian mullahs.

 Buyer’s remorse, yet, you Biden voters who resulted in a country governed by a weak, subservient socialist government?  Were Trump’s tweets worse than derision by foreign friends and antagonists, incipient inflation, $4.00 gasoline, uncontrolled aliens and drugs streaming across our southern border, defunded police and high crime rates, imposed racism due to “wokeness” and critical race theory, identity politics and cancel culture?  These are all things you brought us and sanctioned, Biden voters.

Marxism is Destroying America

 

Marxism is Destroying America

 What is wrong with the current crop of democrats who “elected” Joe Biden president in the 2020 election?  Are they not American citizens, who are proud of that fact?

 Apparently not, because it seems that the modern democrat party does not follow our American constitution, our heritage and our laws.  Instead, it seems to follow the precepts of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and other Marxist philosophies and movements. 

 Obviously not all democrats are Marxists.  Most are just uninformed, and follow the siren song of the far-left Marxists, and their biased, collaborative news media, which have perverted American values beyond all recognition.

 Even a cursory review of the tenets of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky will show that the goals of Marxism are to tear down the foundations of a government, and build it back from scratch as a Marxist communist/socialist “peoples’” utopia.  (As an aside, history has proven that this utopian dream never works, and results in totalitarian dictatorships that kill millions of their own people to maintain hegemony.)

 Consider what our current American Marxists are doing.  They are attempting to erase real American history and values, and replace them with slave-holding, rather than liberty, as our guiding principle.  With the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory, our modern Marxists are in processing of infesting our elementary schools, through graduate level universities, with these false, corrosive philosophies.

 Then there is law enforcement, which has been emasculated by left-leaning local governments, that have defunded the police, such that crime rates have increased to alarming levels across our major cities.  This is another Marxist tactic to produce crime and chaos, so that they can establish their own leftist regulatory forces. (Already tried in Seattle’s “autonomous zone” last summer, and in force, right now, in “Floydville”, Minneapolis.)

 Our founders allowed for an armed populace that could protect themselves against external dangers, and that also could protect themselves from an over-zealous government.  Of course, the Marxists can’t have this.  What really sticks in their craw is the fact that there are over 300 million guns in the country, one for nearly every man, woman and child.  To their chagrin, confiscation is hardly feasible, with such massive numbers.  So, they chip away.  With euphemisms and “newspeak” misrepresenting actual capabilities of certain classes of firearms.  They invent terms like “assault rifles”, that have no resemblance to reality, to generate fear in the uninformed, mainly democrat, masses.

 Another Marxist tactic is political correctness, “wokeism” and cancel culture.  All these really are, are euphemisms for censorship.  “Wokeism is a Marxist inspired movement that started off with well-intentioned people that wanted to stop racism and social injustice. It has now morphed into a cult that seeks to silence all of those that disagree. At first, using social humiliation, but now graduating to violence through Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots.” 

 It seems that much of what this current crop of democrats, spurred on by alt-left Marxists, are doing, is to vindictively undo anything that President Trump instituted, whether or not it harms the country.  A case in point is the southern border.  Under Trump, illegal border incursions were a trickle.  Biden reversed Trump’s policies, opening up the border to all comers – real Latin American migrants, possible terrorists, drugs, including fentanyl, all orchestrated by coyotes and criminals.  Why?  Obviously to get more potential leftists into the country, to aid in solidifying a one party, Marxist, system.

 There is a litany of abuses to our American Republic by Joe Biden and his leftist handlers.  Things that were working under President Trump that Biden and his puppeteers have wrecked are;- our energy independence under Trump, (low emission LNG for domestic use and export delivered by pipeline), no inflation and stable consumer prices under Trump, low gas prices under Trump, a strong foreign posture, particularly with China, Russia and Iran, under Trump.

Our strength and efficacy as a nation continues to erode almost daily, as socialist programs continue to spew from the Bidenites.  Trillions in socialist pork spending are proposed, as are undoing Trump’s middle class tax cuts, and new taxes from the Biden crowd.

 It seems that everything that the Marxist crowd controlling Biden touches turns to crap.  About the only thing they have done right is continue to vaccinate the country against Covid.  This is because of Trump’s “warp speed” program to produce effective vaccines within nine months, and to start putting them into people’s arms.  Of course, Biden, the plagiarist, tries to take credit for these accomplishments. 

 If we don’t wake up as a country, vote these Marxists out, establish viable borders, reinstitute our state voting laws, including identification, ensure that our schools teach honest American history, and strengthen our law enforcement, we run the risk of becoming just another experiment in free society that failed.

Buyer’s remorse yet?

 

Buyer’s remorse yet?

 Do you have buyer’s remorse yet, all you Biden voters who couldn’t stand Trump’s “in your face” personality and tweets?  It didn’t matter that we actually had a real southern border, that we were energy independent, that we were proud to be Americans, black, white, Asian, all, that we had no inflation and low gas prices, that the Trump tax cuts benefited all of us by about $2000 per month per family, that we were strong in our foreign relations, rather than weak and subservient, that we had “warp speed” vaccines, and a vaccination program within 9 months.

 What seemed to matter more to you Bidenites were Trump’s irritating personality and tweets.  So, you got rid of him, by fair means or foul, mostly foul.  By unconstitutional perversion of swing state election laws, by repeated chicanery at the polls reported by whistleblowers, and dismissed, by possible tampering with internet connected voting machines, and on and on, all dismissed, “POOF”, by the corrupt Bidenite cabal, along with Durham’s investigation, Hunter’s laptop, - “POOF”, all gone in Biden’s totalitarian, socialist regime.

 After five months of Biden and his socialist handlers, we have thousands of undocumented and unscreened, coyote orchestrated illegal aliens, including possible terrorists, and illegal drugs, including fentanyl, streaming across our southern border. We have inflation.  We have at least $1.00 per gallon higher gas prices. We have trillions of dollars-worth of programs designed to make our country a totalitarian, one-party socialist/communist system, all masked by newspeak platitudes. And we have a reversion to the choking restrictions and taxes on businesses that hinder the economic growth of the country.

 Wait until inflation erodes your economic power further, and Biden’s reversal of The Trump tax cuts and his own increase in taxes further emasculate your budgets.  Perhaps then, the buyer’s remorse will seem closer to home, and you’ll vote these socialist charlatans out of office.

Mike Lindell 9-0

 

Mike Lindell 9-0

 https://youtu.be/JAmi3dXNFSk

 Mike Lindell’s presentation is glib, filled with “techno” special effects, and is, overall, however, somewhat amateurish.  The presentation presents packet capture traffic from China and other foreign countries, ostensibly to Dominion voting machines in several key U.S. swing states during the November 3, 2020 national election.  It purports to unpack that network traffic into source and destination IP addresses, latitude and longitude, network ID, and other information, including votes stolen from President Trump.

 At first, all is well and good.  The IP addresses from China check out, as do the U.S. IP addresses from swing states.  Then Lindell and his silhouetted cyber expert jump to conclusions about the numbers of votes stolen from Trump in each location.  This does not follow as matter-of-factly as these guys jump to it.  IMHO, this is the main area where the presentation fails as fact, and enters into the realm of conspiracy theory, because they do not explain how they obtained this conclusive data from the network traffic.

 The makers of Dominion election machines first claimed that these machines were not connected to the internet.  They were not on line.  During a live hearing in Georgia, a white hat hacker established a two-way connection into the integral part of a Dominion voting machine.  Dominion management later retracted, and admitted that “some” Dominion machines could be connected to the internet.

 As far as SCOTUS rendering a 9-0 decision to return Donald Trump to the White House by August, 2021, there is no mechanism in our government to do this.  First of all, it is hardly likely that SCOTUS will take up Lindell’s cause, no matter how highly Lindell thinks of it.  Secondly, SCOTUS is, typically, in recess from late June/early July until the first Monday in October. Thirdly, the only ways that we can unseat a sitting president is by impeachment, (hardly likely, with a democratic congress), or by the 25^th amendment because of impairment.  In any case, the replacement would be the Vice President, Kamala Harris, and not Trump.

 Mike Lindell is a valiant crusader for Donald Trump, and against the scurrilous and probably illegal way that Trump was removed from office.  He is also a tireless salesman, as anyone who has heard his “my pillow” commercials will attest. Unfortunately, in this case, Lindell is promoting what most rational thinkers will relegate to the realm of conspiracy theory.

Poof!

 

Poof!

 What happened to the Durham investigation?  What happened to Hunter Biden and the incriminating laptop?  What happened to our energy independence and low gas prices?  What happened to our strong southern border?  What happened to no inflation? What happened to American pride and integrity?

 All gone, POOF! Under the totalitarian, socialist regime being instituted by Biden’s handlers, using good old lying, plagiarizing, grandfatherly Joe as the stalking horse for the Marxists.

 Is the American public ever going to escape the hypnotic grasp of the lying, biased media, and realize what is happening to our country?  The country is being subverted by Marxist activists supported by a corrupt media.  Our freedoms are being eroded away under our noses while Marxist/socialist operatives croon newspeak platitudes.  Even the most uninformed must realize to some extent, what is happening.

 If we do not resist this current, headlong, rush toward a Marxist system, we will have no country left.  Individual states are seeing the writing on the wall, and are resisting. The whole country needs to see the danger, and vote out these Marxists in the ensuing elections.  If we don’t, we risk of following other wealthy countries, like Venezuela, down the road to socialist ruin.

Covid Lab Reversal

 

Covid Lab Reversal

 Liar!, Fakir!, Conspiracy theorist!  All epithets thrown at President Trump with impunity by the dishonest, biased media, in their successful efforts to remove Trump from office.  And all being slowly retracted (on page 8 of NYT or WaPo, or in 5 second “news” bursts on our lying TV channels).  But slanting the news and coloring it “anti-Trump”, and hiding pro-Trump news, like vaccine availability and Hunter’s laptop, obviously contributed to ending Trump’s term.  Is it any wonder that he strenuously protested the election results?

 It’s not “cool”, and certainly not “woke”, to talk about the 2020 presidential election being stolen.  Forgetting the myriad whistleblowers and repeated reports of election fraud that have been conveniently dismissed by our biased media, one just needs to consider old Joe Biden, the political hack who was in Washington for 50 years, sitting in his basement, and garnering 15 million more votes than the saintly Obama.  Does anyone think that the combined efforts of our lying media, big tech, big Hollywood had any impact on Joe Biden being “elected”?

 This article is a remarkably fair look at the current Covid origin reversal and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role in it.  President Trump and Secretary of State Pompeo were excoriated for suggesting that Covid was a lab-engineered virus out of the Wuhan labs, rather than originating in bats or pangolins, and jumping to humans.  A furor of denials, with Dr. Anthony Fauci prominent in the mix ensued.  Now, as is often the case in these reversals, Dr. Fauci is being made the fall guy, even leading to Trump’s election demise.

 The article reviews several of Dr. Fauci’s email exchanges at the time, and does not immediately condemn him.  Instead, it discusses these emails in the context of the times, and cuts Dr. Fauci a bit more slack than his immediate detractors seem to be doing.

America’s Enemies – China, Russia, Iran

 

America’s Enemies – China, Russia, Iran

The mostly uninformed American public, conditioned by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NYT, WaPo, and the rest of the biased mainstream media, consider Russia as being our major foreign antagonist, with China and Iran secondary to Russia.  This could be further from the truth.  As I’ve often posited, rather than being a major foreign power like the old Soviet Union, Russia, these days, can be compared economically to Mexico, or even Texas, except that the Russians  have nuclear weapons left over from the cold war.

 The old image of the big, old, powerful Russian bear can be replaced by the image of a mischievous and destructive badger, nipping and ripping away at weak spots in the world fabric, (of which there are plenty, under our current very weak Biden administration).

 Of course, Russia is run by an educated and accomplished thug.  Putin’s education is as a mining engineer and lawyer, and his background is as a Soviet master spy in the old East Germany.  He speaks German and English fluently in public, and as an educated European, he probably is also fluent in French and Polish, the latter a sister Slavic language.

 Russia’s Prime Minister, or number two these days is Mikhail Mishustin, who has advanced degrees in systems engineering, and a background in government tax administration and private investment.

 s, but run by a charismatic thug, whose people love him.  When I was in Russia in 2017, Putin had an 83% approval rating.  He could do no wrong.

 Iran, similarly, is a relatively weak country, but which is a continuing danger because of their sponsorship of international terrorism.  They are a reginal threat to Israel, because Iran supplies rockets to Hamas and Hezbollah to be used against Israel.  Currently, some of these rockets are funded by payments from the U.S. to Iran.  In spite of Biden’s and Kerry’s weak and ineffective efforts based on bribes to the contrary, there is no doubt that Iran will soon emerge as a dangerous nuclear power.

 The Chinese communists are something else.  They are the greatest threat to the hegemony of the U.S. and the west in the world.  They are an oligarchic, totalitarian one-party, communist dictatorship, with Xi Jinping now as “President in Perpetuity”.  When I visited China in 2015, I was impressed by the order of their society, the rapid building expansion of their cities and infrastructure, and their foreign economic expansion, particularly their Belt and Road Initiative.

 The Chinese communists have a massive military, with similarly massive nuclear and ICBM capabilities. They are a totalitarian and monolithic country, controlling every aspect of their people’s lives, including how many children a couple can have.  Facial recognition cameras track the movements of urban people.  Minorities, like the Uighurs and Christians are segregated and many incarcerated in concentration camps.  China domestically, is a completely subjugated and controlled society.

 Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council and China’s number two leader, are both educated men, and both veterans of “rural labor” during the Mao Zedong’s “Cultural Revolution”.  Xi’s time during the Cultural Revolution was particularly arduous, since his father was denounced and thrown into prison, and Xi was forced to fend for himself at a young age.

 Xi Jinping’s original education is as a Chemical Engineer.   Li Keqiang has a law degree, and an advanced degree in economics.  Both men worked their way up through the ranks of the Chinese Communist Party to their present positions of power.  Most of the rest of the politburo are similarly educated as economists, engineers and businessmen, and have comparable communist credentials. 

 Their MBA’s and PhD’s place the Chinese leadership about as far from revolutionaries as one can get.  Their aim is to make China the dominant economic and political power in the world, and they are working strenuously toward that end.

 The Chinese like to say “We have been art this for seven or eight millennia. Some millennia have been good for China, and some have been not so good.  We are making sure that this millennium is a good one for China.”

 If this country, and particularly the Biden administration, does not acknowledge China as the real danger she is toward the western world, as the Trump administration did, we had all better start learning Mandarin, like John Cena’s apology to the CCP.
