The impeachment trial has started today! Yay!

But, today, let’s go over the philosophy the Left has about Conservatives, Republicans and Trump voters. This article from the L.A. Times pretty much sums it up.

The Article

Column: What can you do about the Trumpites next door?

By VIRGINIA HEFFERNAN

Oh, heck no. The Trumpites next door to our pandemic getaway, who seem as devoted to the ex-president as you can get without being Q fans, just plowed our driveway without being asked and did a great job.

How am I going to resist demands for unity in the face of this act of aggressive niceness?

• We now see that this gal is obviously an elite. She is at a “pandemic getaway”. Must be nice to be so rich and be too arrogant to realize it is kind of off-putting.
• She admits that unity is not a thing.
• When did niceness become aggressive?

Of course, on some level, I realize I owe them thanks — and, man, it really looks like the guy back-dragged the driveway like a pro — but how much thanks?

These neighbors are staunch partisans of blue lives, and there aren’t a lot of anything other than white lives in the neighborhood.

• How much thanks? How about thanks enough deserving of one who plowed your driveway?
• They like cops? This is a reason to force yourself to dislike them and not give them thanks for doing you a favor?
• If this gal is such a diversity nut, why is she living in an all white neighborhood?
• And how does she know how these people would treat black neighbors? She doesn’t even know their names.

This is also kind of weird. Back in the city, people don’t sweep other people’s walkways for nothing.

Maybe it’s like what Eddie Murphy discovered in that old “Saturday Night Live” sketch “White Like Me.” He goes undercover in white makeup and finds that when white people are among their own, they pop free champagne and live the high life. As Murphy puts it: “Slowly I began to realize that when white people are alone, they give things to each other. For free.”

This is the stupidest thing in the article. OK, that’s a lie. Eddie Murphy’s SNL skit was comedy. It was parody. It is satire. It is funny.

• It makes fun of how blacks think of how whites look and act.
• It makes fun of prejudice. On both sides.
• It’s not real. It’s a joke.

The idiocy of this shows how the Left has no sense of humor whatsoever.

Hezbollah, the Shiite Islamist political party in Lebanon, also gives things away for free. The favors Hezbollah does for people in the cities Tyre and Sidon probably don’t involve snowplows, but, like other mafias, Hezbollah tends to its own — the Shiite sick, elderly and hungry. They offer protection and hospitality and win loyalty that way. And they also demand devotion to their brutal, us-versus-them anti-Sunni cause. Some of us are family, the favors say; the rest are infidels.

The same is true with Louis Farrakhan, who currently helms the Nation of Islam. While the Southern Poverty Law Center classifies him as a dangerous anti-Semite, much of his flock says he’s just a little screwy and unfailingly magnanimous. To them.

Huh? So, the Trump supporters next door are like Hezbollah and Louis Farrakhan because they cleaned the snow off your driveway? This is lady has been made nuts because the Trump Derangement Syndrome made her brain spongy.

When someone helps you when you’re down, or snowed in, it’s almost impossible to regard them as a blight on the world. In fact, you’re more likely to be overwhelmed with gratitude and convinced of the person’s inherent goodness.

Yeah, that’s how it should be.

You might end up like the upper-middle-class family I stayed with in France as a teenager. They did not attend a citywide celebration for the 100th birthday of Charles de Gaulle, the war hero who orchestrated the liberation of his country from Nazi Germany in 1944. They did have several portraits of Philippe Pétain, Nazi collaborator, on their wall.

When I screwed up the courage to ask how it was for them during the occupation, the lady of the house replied, “We were happy because the Nazis were very polis.” I didn’t know the word, so I excused myself to consult a French-English dictionary. I was in tears when I found the entry: “polite.”

Couple of things here.

First, she stayed with an upper-middle-class family in France? She has a winter home? Can you guys smell the elitism in this bitch? So far while reading this article, I don’t get that the Trump people are bad. In fact, all we know about them is that they plowed her driveway and they voted for Trump. But, what I am getting out of this article is that the writer, VIRGINIA HEFFERNAN, is an elitist, snobby, spoiled, unappreciative, condescending bitch.

And this also says something about the news media in general. You’ve got to assume that this article was read by several people at the L.A. Times including “fact checkers”, associate editors and the papers editor. None of these people who read this article said, “Hey, Virginia, you kind of sound like an an elitist, snobby, spoiled, unappreciative, condescending bitch.”

You know why no one at the L.A. Times said? Because they are all elitist, snobby, spoiled, unappreciative, condescending bitches. No wonder regular people do not trust the media.

My second point forces me to foreshadow my conclusion to this story. Her “polis” story is bullshit.

My grandparents and father were in Germany during World War II. The Nazis were hardly polite. If you are walking down the street and see an SS troop walking, you cross the street. If the SS visited, you were dead. They were not polite.

And the Nazis were not polite to the French. The Nazis invaded France. The overthrew the government. They forced the population to fight in the war. They burned and destroyed their cities.

I’m just beginning to think this gal had a deadline, ran late because she was skiing in Aspen and made some shit up to meet her deadline. She knew if she could it easily published by saying how bad Trump people are.

So when I accept generosity from my pandemic neighbors, acknowledging the legitimate kindness with a wave or a plate of cookies, am I also sealing us in as fellow travelers who are very polis to each other but not so much to “them”?

Loving your neighbor is evidently much easier when your neighborhood is full of people just like you.

This is this whole collective thing that the socialist media embraces. The Left always puts people into buckets and those buckets have preset assumptions. All Trump supporters are racist, xenophobic, misogynist, bigots that are Nazis. This is the very definition of bigotry.

Definition: A bigot is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities that are different from his or her own. Mostly, the person’s opinions are based on prejudice.

This is why Conservatives can’t unite with the Left. We don’t group people together. We believe in individuality. If I meet a black guy and he turns out to be an a-hole, I don’t think that all black people are a-holes. I think that individual black guy is an a-hole.

I’ll even go a step further: I do not see that black guy as a black guy. He’s just a guy. That’s why I hate those hyphens people use for identity. You’re either an American or not. You know where I earned that? From a black guy who told me he didn’t want to be referred to as an African-American (because he was from the Caribbean). He referred to himself as an American.

What do we do about the Trumpites around us? Like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who spoke eloquently this week about her terrifying experience during the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, Americans are expected to forgive and forget before we’ve even stitched up our wounds. Or gotten our vaccines against the pandemic that former President Trump utterly failed to mitigate.

My neighbors supported a man who showed near-murderous contempt for the majority of Americans. They kept him in business with their support.

When you say that AOC is eloquent, you’re probably an idiot. That broad can’t get through a sentence without saying “like” eight times.

Also, AOC’s “terrifying experience” has been debunked. She wasn’t even at the Capitol building during the riot. Again, this is another reason this article cannot be taken seriously.

Finally, why is Trump always being blamed for this pandemic? And not just blamed  for his handling of it, which no one in the world handled well, but being called a murderer? No one blames China. No one blames the Left-wing governors who shipped old folks infected with COVID back into retirement homes and then lied about the number died. I don’t see anyone blaming the WHO for lying about how the disease was transmitted.

Trump:

• Closed travel from China which Dems called xenophobic.
• Mentioned COVID as a threat during the State of the Union speech, which Nancy Pelosi tore up.
• Sent PPE, respirators, ventilators and hospital ships to struggling states, which he was thanked for.
• Sent monetary aid and tax breaks to small businesses, which Congress fought against.
• Through Operation Warp Speed, had two, and now three, vaccines developed in record, which Dems said they wouldn’t take.

I think Trump did as good a job as can be expected and far better than any other government in the world. Let’s face it, with our current death toll (which the CDC admits is exaggerated), we are currently between 12 nd 15 in deaths per 1 million.

You might not like how Trump handled the pandemic, there are things I didn’t like, but to call him a mass murderer or think he should be convicted of murder is being myopic.

But the plowing.

On Jan. 6, after the insurrection (I’d actually call it a riot), Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) issued an aw-shucks plea for all Americans to love their neighbors. The United States, he said, “isn’t Hatfields and McCoys, this blood feud forever.” And, he added, “You can’t hate someone who shovels your driveway.”

At the time, I seethed; the Capitol had just been desecrated. But maybe my neighbor heard Sasse and was determined to make a bid for reconciliation.

When Ben Sasse made that statement, he was talking about all the riots over the last year. That the Left and the Right need to stop the violence and the fighting. This gal ignores the Leftist organizations, BLM and Antifa, that caused $2-$3 billion dollars of damage over the summer. She ignoring the fact that Antifa was protesting, with the threat of rioting, this past weekend in Washington D.C. If it weren’t for the National Guard, Washington D.C. would have burned. He was condemning all violent groups.

But she doesn’t see that. It’s only about January 6.

I’m going to get more into this in the next section, but why would a Trump supporter, who had nothing to do with the Capitol riot, try to reconcile with a Leftist?

So here’s my response to my plowed driveway, for now. Politely, but not profusely, I’ll acknowledge the Sassian move. With a wave and a thanks, a minimal start on building back trust. I’m not ready to knock on the door with a covered dish yet.

I also can’t give my neighbors absolution; it’s not mine to give. Free driveway work, as nice as it is, is just not the same currency as justice and truth. To pretend it is would be to lie, and they probably aren’t looking for absolution anyway.

But I can offer a standing invitation to make amends. Not with a snowplow but by recognizing the truth about the Trump administration and, more important, by working for justice for all those whom the administration harmed. Only when we work shoulder to shoulder to repair the damage of the last four years will we even begin to dig out of this storm.

This bitch is insane. She has taken all of the Left’s stance that all Conservatives are evil and need to be purged. That we need to come to their side on bended need and then…maybe we’ll be forgiven.

Here’s the secret: I think her beliefs and values are evil and bad. I see her as a bigot and a racist. Her opinion is irrelevant of me are irrelevant.

In fact, I would be thrilled to know she hated me. If Satan came up from Hell, all muscly, with his pitch fork and fire blowing out his ears and ass and said he hated me and threatened my gold fish, I’d be good with it. I can’t unite with this even to keep peace.

Remember this: Submission is not promoting peace. Embracing tyranny is not embracing peace.

We are going to see a lot more articles like this.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing a Democratic firing squad for saying some really weird things. But is this a good idea for the Democrats to pull the trigger?

What the hell is QAnon? We should probably find out because all conservatives and Republicans are being thrown into the QAnon bucket. Let’s talk about them or us or whatever.

Marjorie Taylor Greene

What Happened?

A rural part of Texas, a very small district, elected Marjorie Taylor Greene as a Representative to the House of Representatives. Telling you that the size of the district is important as you will see later.

A few years ago, before she was elected, she would participate in some really odd conspiracy theories.:

• She said that 9/11 was not by terrorists but by the U.S. government.
• She said that the forest fire in California were caused by a Jewish space laser.
• All sorts of other weird theories.

At first, reps wanted her to resign her seat. But these posts were all made before she was elected to office. The theory is that the people in her district knew what they were getting when they elected her. So getting rid of her was out.

Republicans voted on whether or not she should be removed from her two committee assignment. They held a vote on it and she was allowed to keep her committee spots. I understand the reason for it. She was elected and she can’t do any good just sitting on the sidelines. It would not be fair to her constituents. But I also understand why her committee assignments should be suspended, at least for a little while. I thought it was kind of a mistake to let her keep her committees because the Republicans would get hammered by the press and Democrats. OK, they already are so what difference would it make.

Democrats decided they didn’t want Greene to have any assignments to committees. They decided they were going to hold a vote to expel Greene from committees. This is unheard of and has never happened before. The minority party has a history of choosing their members to House committees and expelling them. It is not up to the majority party. It is party of the minority rights thing that the Founding Fathers had in mind. The majority party has no say to who the minority party puts into a committee.

Kevin McCarthy made it clear that this was unprecedented and, like ending the judicial filibuster, Democrats were going to regret it in the future.

Another issue that McCarthy professionally points out is the hypocrisy of the Democrats. They have had plenty of opportunity to kick bad apples out of their committees including Eric Swallwell for having sex with a Chinese spy, Ilhan Omar for her anti-Sementic rants and Maxine Waters for her call for violence against Trump supporters.

The strongest defense for Greene was Greene herself. She sat in front of Congress and apologized for the unwise things she believed way back. She made clear she did not believe in these things now. It was only during the very insecure times that she fell for the conspiracy theories.

Listen, I know people who believe in this stuff. Seriously. Someone close to me believes in a lot of this stuff. It’s crazy stuff. But, said the right way and it advantages those you like, it can be believable. I don’t believe in any of it and we are going to talk about what their belief system in a few minutes.

Democrats didn’t buy it. They voted her out of all committees along with 10 Republicans. This is not a good vote and should have been ignored by all Republicans out of sheer ethics of the whole thing. The Democrats have no say as to who the Republicans put on a committee and the Republicans should have no say who Democrats put on committees.

Well, they do now.

The New Narrative

The goal of the Democrats for the last twenty years is to vilify the Republicans. At first, this was just by questioning the policies and ideas of the Republicans. Whether what they were doing would work, was moral or ethical. Later, Democrats would point out that the Republicans were lying. The Iraq War was an example of that. By the way, the Iraq war proved to be legitimate and the United States did find terrorists and yellow cake uranium.

But, as the Democrats went more Left, their claims about Republicans became more extreme. And, with the help of the entertainment, news media and the education system, people are beginning to believe some of these things. But, I think it is a very few people. And, in the future, it could backfire.

You might be asking, “What does this have to do Marjorie Taylor Greene?” That’s a good question. This is a first-time elected official to the House of Representatives. She is from a rural area in Texas and probably won her elections with a few thousand votes. No one knows her. I don’t even know what she looks like. Why is this a big deal?

Because it is a new narrative. The theories that Greene was embracing is the theories of QAnon. This is an alt-right, radical conspiracy group. It is way out there. And when I say, “way out there” I mean, nuts. What the Democrats and the media are putting out there now is that all Republicans are part of this conspiracy group. In other words, all Republicans and Conservatives are nuts too.

I had never heard of QAnon. I am not much of a conspiracy guy either. I think John Wilkes Booth killed Lincoln because he hated Lincoln. I think FDR didn’t know about the attack on Pearl Harbor. Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK because he was a communist. We did land on the moon. Terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and the world is round. I don’t believe in conspiracies.

So, since my philosophies and beliefs, yours too, are being wrapped up into this QAnon thing, let’s define what QAnon is and what it does.

QAnon

What Are They?

QAnon is what the media says all us Conservatives and Republicans believe in. It is what makes us what we are and it is the reason we are bad and evil and bigots and racists and whatever. So I decided to look it up so that I and you know what we believe.

First things first, I do have a ton of sources for this. Most are Left-wing in nature so I am not sure if what I’m writing is completely correct. I have heard that this group was way out there so I assume some of it is right. All I’m saying is take this with a grain of salt. It might not be completely correct.

QAnon is an alt-right Internet group that was started after the Trump election in 2017. Again, I am not sure the starting date is correct. This is a Wikipedia post (Left-wing) after all. They are primarily a conspiracy group that some classify as a cult.

They believe:

• The government is run by a satanic cabal.
• Government officials are part of a global pedophile ring that traffics in children throughout the world.
• President Trump was sent by God to destroy the cabal and it would take two terms for him to do it.
• They say that a “storm” would take place. This is when the government would arrest the QAnon folk, thousands of them, and jail them in places like Guantanamo Bay. Trump was there to stop them.
• They believe that the Russia probe was a ruse started by Trump to enlist Robert Mueller to expose the child sex trafficking and prevent a coup by Obama, Clinton and George Soros.

Got that? That’s what you believe. That’s what the media is telling you that you believe. This is why Democrats should totally ignore you, condemn you and cancel you.

This is the new media narrative. Don’t believe me? Watch CNN or MSNBC. That’s what they are saying. Don’t think this is something we should take seriously because most normal people don’t believe in this crap? I also didn’t believe in the Russian hoax. I also don’t believe in Jewish space lasers and a satanic cabal. O think we would have heard about it before 2017. Even CNN might have reported it.

QAnon was first started as a 4-Chan post. 4-Chan is an alt-right message board, much like Reddit but for white supremacists and weirdos like that. Anything on 4-Chan is usually pretty extreme.

The “Q” in QAnon comes from the first person who posted. Supposedly, he is a big deal because he has a Q-level clearance with the government. Only those who deal directly with the President have that clearance. So you can imagine, this guy has a lot of knowledge (except there is no such thing as a Q level clearance that I know of).

The “Anon” part stands for “anonymous”. Got it, QAnon.

The government did investigate this group as they do all groups on 4-Chan. The QAnon account has had its posts stylistically analyzed and it was found that at least two other people were working under the account. The FBI believes it is actually a group of people. That’s a lot of people with a Q security clearance.

The popularity of the group led to other QAnon-type groups including CIAAnon, FBIAnon and others. The group, though originates in the United States, is gaining popularity in the UK, Germany, Australia and Japan. In 2018, the group was listed by the FBI as a possible domestic terrorist organization.

Trump has not helped himself with separating himself with this group:

• In 2018, members began showing up to Trump rallies.
• Bill Mitchell, a QAnon member, showed up to the White House for the Social Media Summit held by Trump.
• The QAnon motto, “Where we go one, we go all” was used at a Trump rally by the guy introducing Trump.
• In 2020, Trump did not reject the group during a press conference though he did admit he did not know anything about them.
• Trump is a hero of QAnon and is considered the “Q+”. Though that’s not really Trumps fault.

But the bizarre things they believe is just incredible.

• Kim Jong Un is a puppet leader of North Korea placed by the CIA.
• DNC leader, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, had an MS-13 gang member kill Seth Rich. The 27-year-old Rich was an employee of the Democratic National Committee(DNC) who is thought to have leaked DNC E-mails.
• German Chancellor, Angela Merkle, if Adolf Hitler’s granddaughter.
• The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 made the United States run by a corporation. They believe, on March 4^th, 2021, the law will be overturned and the country will revert to what the Founding Fathers set the country up as. Donald Trump will become President again but, this time, the 19^th President of the Founder’s country. Weird. I know people who believe this.

After learning about QAnon, this is a dangerous group. They take their beliefs in an almost religious way, which is weird. They are kooks and they should be seen and treated as kooks. They should also be seen and treated as dangerous. It only takes one to get so radical, he starts trying to take out President Biden. I do not like President Biden but I don’t want the guy assassinated.

There has been a backlash against QAnon. Facebook and Twitter have suspended and taken down known QAnon accounts. Media Matter (a far Left-wing outlet that validates news and is a “fact checker”) says that Trump and his minions have been using “dog whistles” to QAnon, sending them secret messages. I don’t put much value into this. Media Matter has called Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, a white supremacist.

I would not mind people going after QAnon too much if these same groups went after Antifa and BLM also. I think QAnon is a crazy group, and with crazy comes dangerous typically. But they have done no damage like that of BLM and Antifa, even including the January 6^th riot at the Capitol building.

Understand this: I think QAnon is bad. But I also think Antifa and BLM are bad. All three groups should be condemned. The difference is two promulgate Leftist ideas and the other does not. This is not “whataboutism”. This is me condemning both groups. Me pointing out that I condemn both groups and the Left only condemns groups that don’t go along with their agenda.

On the subject of conspiracy groups, they have been with us forever. There was a book I read about why conspiracies come about. Usually, it is because a tragedy took place that was so horrific that people cannot believe that what happened could be something so simple.

How could the Japanese attack Pearl? Conspiracy: They couldn’t. The United States must have known about it.

How could a lone gunman kill the most powerful man in the free world, John F. Kennedy? Conspiracy: He couldn’t. The CIA, industrial military complex, the mob and LBJ all conspired to kill JFK and bury the evidence.

The moon is really far away and my cell phone is stronger than the computers used in 1968. How could we have landed on the moon? Conspiracy: We didn’t land on the moon. It was all staged in Burbank.

How can nineteen terrorists hijack four jets with nothing more than box cutters and kill 3000 Americans? Conspiracy: They can’t. It was the U.S. government shooting missiles into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.

See how this works? Here’s the problem with conspiracy theories: They require large numbers of people to keep quiet and not spill the beans. This is not a thing. Someone will always be the “whistleblower”. None of these conspiracies had a whistleblower.
