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.

Joe Biden is getting ready to screw up the country.

But first, let’s listen to Captain Unity:

Old Joe, Same Crap

Old Joe is coming out with his policies…finally. And they are the same old thing. Well, I mean, he’s saying what his policies are going to be without actually giving us any information on them or what they are going to do to the country or what we are going to have to do to meet these policies.

Which is fine. The media doesn’t care. His policies will work because the magic policy fairy who hated Trump because he is a racist, homophobe, xenophobe, white, straight guy will come to Biden and make it all work.

Biden said there are going to be four major “emergencies” that he is going to pay attention to. I’m sorry, not emergencies but “crisis”. Here they are:

• According to the Daily Wire:
• Incoming White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain vowed Saturday that President-elect Joe Biden will take “decisive action” on four different crises affecting the country during his first ten days in office.In a memo to incoming senior White House staff, Klain identified the four crises as “the COVID-19 crisis, the resulting economic crisis, the climate crisis, and a racial equity crisis,” and promised Biden would take executive actions to address them.

Um, ok. Let’s take a look at this.

• The China virus crisis- already handled. What else is Old Joe going to do?
• The economic crisis because of the China virus- Trump already took care of that. Florida, Texas, Idaho and other states that ignored the panicking news media are doing great. Chicago, New York and other Lefty cities and states want to now open their economies. Um, that will fix the economy and he won’t have to do much of anything but it will look really political.
• The climate crisis- in other words…weather. He’s going to change the weather? We won’t have a hurricane again? or tornadoes? It won’t be hot or cold again? There will not be droughts or fires in California again? Good luck with that.
• The racial equity crisis- This is just taxes, redistribution and socialism. That’s all it is. Trust me, people of color won’t see a dime of the evil rich white men. Once the government gets money, it doesn’t give it up.

Sleepy, Creepy Joe has said he was going to use his executive orders to overturn a bunch of Trump’s executive orders. I’m sure liberal lawyers will appear in front of liberal judges to get those executive orders blocked like what happened when Trump tried to overwrite the the DACA executive order under Obama because its, supposedly not easy to overwrite executive orders. Oops, they did cancel Trump’s executive order overwriting Obama’s executive orders.

Anyway, here are the executive orders Old Joe is going to overwrite:

• Biden is expected to sign more COVID-19-related executive actions to order schools and businesses reopened under new federal health guidelines. More federal government control.
• Biden will announce a plan to reunite families separated by federal law enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border. This is a weird one. Does that mean Biden will send the kids back to their families in Mexico or bring the families into the United States? Yeah, no possible disaster here.
• Unveil criminal justice reform proposals. Not sure how Biden will do better on this from his point of view.
• Announce new strategies to battle climate change. In other words, he wants more regulation that will stifle businesses. No more fracking (which would be a campaign promise that was a lie), closing all drilling in federal lands that made us energy independent because we need to save the horney toad squirrel and lower CO2 levels from all business and citizens. Basically stick us back in the 1700s when it comes to technology and standard of living.

One of the big things Biden wants to to is raise the minimum at the federal level to $15.00 an hour. That’s a great idea when businesses are closed and wondering where they are going to get their income to put more crap on them by making him pay workers double what he has to pay them not.

I hate minimum wage. In fact, I think the minimum wage should be $0.00. The market should be what determines the value of labor not the government. The government doesn’t have any skin in the game when it comes to a person’s business. But an employer will pay for good workers. The better the employee, the more he will be willing to pay. If the employer doesn’t pay the worker for what he deserves than the employee will quit and find a job that will pay.

Here’s the cold hard truth: If an employee cannot negotiate a $15.00 an hour wage, that employee probably doesn’t deserve $15:00 an hour. Period done.

But raising the minimum wage has huge economic issues:

• Cost of products and services will go up. This will slow economic growth.
• Businesses will cut jobs to meet their budget. Raising unemployment.
• Employees in specialized jobs, such as my fiancé, will demand a higher wage. This will raise inflation.
• Many businesses will close because they require a specific number of employees but their profit margin is so razor thin they cannot maintain the business. This is a common issue restaurants have.
• People thinking about starting new businesses will be less likely to do so with such a high starting cost.

I find it amazing that this is an issue when unemployment is up because the country is shut down because of the China virus. We might actually see the unemployment rate actually go up when the economy is re-opened. We are currently at about 7% unemployment but businesses are going to be struggling even if they re-open. Remember, there is a lot that goes into a business that has been closed. It’s almost like these businesses have to start from fresh. There’s:

• Inventory that needs to be replenished which requires money.
• Delivery of that inventory.
• New marketing strategy.
• New regulations for the China virus that need to be met.
• The hiring of new or former employees.

Now business owners have to worry about paying low-skilled workers twice what they were earning before? Washington and Oregon already have a $15.00 an hour wage. Their economies were decimated. What I’m saying is we have seen this movie before.

• This is part of the Democratic plan.

They like sticking it to small businesses. They love corporations. Big corporations pay big money, do what they want and support mass regulations. They want small business to die. Less competition.

Democrats want unemployment. They want the people to suffer and depend on the government to survive. That way, people become subservient to big government and will do whatever those in power want to do including raising taxes and accepting the loss of our freedoms.

This is how socialism works. Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister in England, said, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” The minimum wage is going to damage the economy. People will lost their jobs. They will go on government assistance and get decent money. A bunch will not even go back to work. Unemployment will go up, more people will go on assistance. The government will have to raise taxes. Raising taxes will cause businesses to lay off more people to keep their profit margins. Or the business will close altogether. More unemployment. More people depend on the government. More tax raises.

Eventually the government can’t get more taxes. The rich leave the country or they are no longer rich. The rich who do not embrace the government, much like Donald Trump, will have their wealth taken or, worse, prosecuted and condemned. When the government can’t tax, they take. They take wealth and commandeer business, making it property of the state. This will cause lack of production and lack of innovation making the economy stagnant. The only thing that moves in a socialist economy is unemployment, GDP, innovation and misery. Only the government’s power grows.

When the government has no more money, they discard all the benefits they promised. People begin to have problems getting basic necessities. Inflation makes prices go through the roof. Store can’t afford inventory. People will begin to lose their patience. They will begin to revolt. Those revolting will not be armed (remember, Democrats don’t want the 2nd Amendment). Those protestors will be seen as traitors, be arrested, prosecuted and thrown in jails and prisons.

This is an abbreviated synopsis. Though not by much. It usually takes about five years for it to be implemented and all things go south.

This process happened under Mao in China. It happened under Mussolini in Italy. It happened in Germany under Hitler. It happened in North Korea under Kim. It happened under Lenin and Stalin in the Soviet Union. It happened under Castro in Cuba. It happened under Chavez and, now, Maduro in Venezuela.

Setting a high minimum wage isn’t all that creates the mess that I mentioned about. Other things include:

• Government controlled, socialized healthcare.
• Control of institutions such as media, education, entertainment, business and the economy.
• Making it so the population cannot be armed.
• Ending of free speech and censorship.
• Condemning those that do not fall in line with the government line (cancel culture).
• Encouraging people to tattle with each other. Separate people into groups. Create discord.
• Demonize and eliminate the opposition.
• Eliminating religion. Government has to be God.
• Heavily regulating or government ownership of business (fascism).
• Control of the courts.
• Eliminating minority rights.

Do any of these things sound familiar?

I do not look at the raising of the middle wage as just bad economic policy, though it is. I see it as a way to, slowly, take over the population through dependence and increase government control. It’s a very bad thing that might not look so dangerous on its own. But when added to the other Leftist policies, it sounds horrifying.

Prematurely Calling the President

Decision Desk HQ has declared Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden the winner in the 2020 presidential election, the first major outlet to make a call in the race. A handful of battleground states remain hotly contested and other outlets have yet to make a final call in the presidential race.

Once again, in the middle of the night, Biden took the leads in Georgia and Pennsylvania. These states are not called. There is a lawsuits in both states. Georgia still has to count military ballots which should go mostly to Trump.

According to the Daily Wire:

According to CBS Atlanta, with 100% of precincts reporting and the vast majority of the ballots counted in the state of Georgia, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has amassed 2,449, 377 votes, giving him a 917 vote lead over President Trump, who has amassed 2,448, 454 votes, Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen gathered 61,380 votes. Both Trump and Biden received 49.4% of the vote.

According to the office of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger at 8:15 a.m. on Friday, approximately 8,197 ballots remained to be counted, dispersed this way: Floyd County: 444; Gwinnett County: 4,800: Laurens County: 1,797, and Taylor County: 456. The office added, “An additional approximately 8,900 military and overseas absentee ballots have been sent out to requesters but not yet returned. Such ballots, if postmarked by Election Day, can be accepted within three days of Election Day.”

The Vote Marches On

Trump Gets a Win

The Trump campaign notched a second win in a Pennsylvania court on Thursday after a judge ruled that some ballots lacking identifying voter information should be set aside and not yet counted.

The decision from Mary Hannah Leavitt, the president judge on the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, came through on Thursday afternoon. She ordered that all ballots received between Nov. 9-12 that lack voter information on them should be separated out and not counted pending further instruction of the court.

“The county boards of elections shall segregate ballots for which identification is received and verified on November 10, 11, and 12, 2020, from ballots for which identification is received and verified on or before November 9, 2020,” the court order says. “The segregation for which identification is received and verified on November 10, 11, and 12, 2020, shall not be counted until further order of this court.”

That’s good. And that’s how it should be. It will definitely be a useful judgement if Pennsylvania needs to do a recount. But it also leaves open the fact that, if Biden ends up losing the state, a challenge can be made by the Biden campaign. This is going to be a long one.

It Ain’t Over in Arizona

President Donald Trump is “still in line” to overtake Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in what may be a crucial win in the battleground state of Arizona. On MSNBC,

Arizona election officials are continuing to tabulate outstanding ballots, which the Trump campaign has said should cut in favor of Trump and give the president the boost he needs to overcome his deficit to Biden. If Trump can get the votes he needs to overtake Biden and secure Arizona’s 11 electoral votes, Trump’s pathway to reelection is on much steadier footing, though still likely an outside shot.

Arizona officials were continuing to release data on ballot counts early into the morning on Thursday. After the last dump of counted ballots, the Phoenix-based data analytics and survey research firm Data Orbital said that Trump was still on track with their model to overtake Biden. The data firm released numbers coming from several counties in Arizona with comments on how the updated vote count aligned with the firm’s projections.

In a Twitter thread beginning early in the evening on Wednesday and ending early Thursday morning, Data Orbital said:

Pima County – 5,614 ballots 50.8/47.3 Trump to Biden. Overall, this is a strong County for Biden. Good sign for Trump.

Maricopa County 74,547 ballots. 57.6/40.7 Trump to Biden. President nets 12,644. A bit below our 14,000 projection but good progress for the President. #AZ

Garrett Archer, a data journalist for ABC 15 Arizona, backed up Data Orbital’s read of the data, saying that the fresh data puts Trump on track to overtake Biden’s lead, though narrowly. Arizona is still either side’s state to take, he noted.

“While on the surface good, this drop is a ‘tread water’ for what Trump would need to flip the state. As we get closer to the end, the ballots get less friendly (ballot drop off uni will have a lot more Independents in them),” Archer noted after the latest drop of data early Thursday morning.

“Trump now needs 68,390 to catch Biden. There are approximately 430k or so ballots left in the state,” Archer said, providing a rough overview of the state of Arizona’s outstanding ballot count.

Nothing Like Getting Information From a Racist

I love hearing crap from a race-baiter like Al Sharpton. I also love that these people, who really got killed in the House and Senate races, still doesn’t get it  when it comes to race.

On MSNBC, Sharpton acknowledged that the Republicans did very well in this election.

“He has done better than, in my judgment, he should have with black men and Hispanics, which means that we’ve got to really look in the civil rights community, both on the Latino and the African American side, on a real conversation in our communities on what it is to be different in terms of being entrepreneurial aspirants and being fair in terms of how we look from the whole.”

“I think he appealed to some that wanted to feel that they had to be a certain kind of way to be aspirational and that you can be that and still be centrists.”

“I think that a lot of them bought into the false view they were putting out on Joe Biden with the crime bill rather than dealing with the fact that Joe Biden was going along with the majority of people, even in the Black leadership with the Black crime bill.”

Going forward, Sharpton said that Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) are going to have to work to capture those communities if they win the White House.

“I really believe there is going to be a lot of work in those areas. If we ignore it, or act like it doesn’t matter, I think is not wise and I think if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, if they’re successful, are going to have to really work.”

Charles Blow of The New York Times was distraught over Trump’s gains with minorities, Tweeted:

“This is so personally devastating to me: the Black male vote for Trump INCREASED from 13% in 2016 to 18% this year. The Black female vote for Trump doubled from 4% in 2016 to 8% this year. Also, once again, exit polls show a majority of White women voting for Trump.”

“Also, the percentage of LGBT voting for Trump doubled from 2016. DOUBLED!!! This is why LGBT people of color don’t really trust the White gays. Yes, I said what I said. Period,” he continued. “Also, the percentage of Latinos and Asians voting for Trump INCREASED from 2016, according to exit polls. Yet more evidence that we can’t depend on the “browning of America” to dismantle White supremacy and erase anti-Blackness.”

Here’s the problem with these guys: They are doubling down on the same narrative that cost them 15 seats in the House and allowed the Republicans to keep the Senate. They don’t get that calling anyone who doesn’t agree with them a racist, homophobe, xenophobe, sexist or misogynist is a way to convince them of their policy and social views. People don’t want to hear how terrible our country is and will always be. People of color see this stuff and are beginning to reject it. The Democrats do not understand that they have to change their philosophy but they won’t do it.

Republicans had the same problems before. Donald Trump, who the Republicans hated, won the election because of his message. Then, as President, his message got through most of the Republicans in Congress and people who did not vote for him in 2016 embraced his message. What was his message?

• The United States is the greatest country in world history.
• We are individuals with a set of freedoms given to us by God.
• Our country should be protected by a strong military, border security and securing our technology.
• Socialism is bad.
• Capitalism has created prosperity throughout the world.
• The media is slanted.
• He works for the people.

This is a message that permeates. This message brings pride to people. It is positive. It makes people who love this country and want to fight for it.

Democrats don’t get that this is what wins elections. This is why Democrats lost 30% of the House seats and lost the Senate. And they may have lost the Presidency, we don’t know. Doesn’t look good but there are still a lot of questions about the election. Instead of looking inside themselves, they have decided to double down.

Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri, lost her election. She said said it is because Democrats are becoming tone deaf. She said:

Let me make things simple. I hope the Democrats keep following AOC. The 30 year old dunce whose only job outside of being a congressman was a part time bar tender. After 2022, the Republicans will be running the government for 20 years. McCaskill is right. The Democrats have picked and chose certain platforms that have nothing to do with 98% of Americans and think they will win.

The Democratic party is fractured. The Republican party is united. President Trump did it. Whether he wins or loses, he has already had an impact that will reverberate throughout history. History will find that Trump will be the most influential one term President in history.

These Guys Don’t Get It

ABC News’ “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin feels that over 68 million Americans who voted for President Trump are “selfish” because they voted for someone who she says is racist, misogynistic and homophobic.

The hosts on The View are not exactly rocket scientists. In fact, they know nothing about politics. In fact, all these people are just celebrities. They are not journalists. Whoopie Goldberg starred in a movie where she played a criminal, lounge singing nun. But I want you to listen to this because I have a point. But there is more.

Actress, Janelle Monae (never heard of her) Tweeted:

“F**k Donald Tromp [sic] and every American citizen, celebrity, white woman, black man, ETC who supported him burnnnnnnnnnn.”

She deleted the Tweet but it was captured. Funny thing is, she included a pic of her doing some sort of finger sign with spandex showing how sexy she is in her 2800 square foot bathroom. That’s a great political argument and not tone-deaf at all.

She then Tweeted, and deleted, another Tweet:

“I’m not going down the list for y’all you do the research and see who gave him millions of votes.”

That’s a threat. She’s encouraging doxing. Twitter never suspended her.

Actor John Leguizamo Tweeted:

“Florida is dead to me! Let the lemmings drive their golf carts into the ocean!”

These actors don’t understand how they talk down to people. So anyone who voted for Trump is an arctic and colorful rodent? This is unifying? Or is it just condescending? I find this amazing coming from a guy who hasn’t done a straight-to-DVD movie in ten years.

Finally, to prove my point, we have Kathy Griffin, who blocked me from her Twitter account because I debated her and she didn’t like it. Do you remember when she Tweeted a picture of her holding the severed head of Donald Trump (alla ISIS)? By the way, she was never banned for that and the Tweet was deleted by her. Well, she decided to re-release it. It was really tacky. She has lost all of the attention she got when she released it the first time. She’s not getting a lot of attention now with the re-release of that picture.

Should you be pissed off about all this crap? If you heard my podcast, you might say, “no.” If you didn’t, you probably are saying, “yes.”

Here’s the thing we learned this election: People aren’t buying the Left’s BS. We see that with the black, Hispanic and female vote. We see that with the popular vote that said Trump would be down 10 points. Hell, gays are voting for Trump. The Left is saying that the reason Trump and the Republicans did so well is the rejection of intersectionality and identity politics. The Left is so arrogant, or just stupid, they don’t realize it.

Here’s the thing: Let them go crazy. Let them call everyone who doesn’t agree with them racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, bigoted and a misogynist. The Left doesn’t get that these viscous attacks are becoming…boring. I’ve been called a racist on Twitter dozens of times. I don’t troll on Twitter, I debate. It doesn’t mean anything to me. Well, I’m not the only one who thinks that.

Let’s take a look at last week’s Presidential debate.

The Debates

So the Presidential debate was on Tuesday and I had to see it twice. The first time I watched it was on the Louder with Crowder. I like the show because the debates are boring and Steven Crowder and his brood are funnier than all hell. The problem is they talk over the debates. So I watched it again on Wednesday and listen to a few podcasts to get the highlights because I think I fell asleep half way through it.

So I’m not going to play any sound bites from the debate. The big bites (and there weren’t many) have been played over and over and I have more stories for today. What I am going to talk about is the performance of all the actors: Biden, Trump and Chris Wallace, the moderator. Then I will give my opinion about who won.

Sleepy, Creepy Joe

Here are Biden’s highlights:

First look, Joe looked terrible. I don’t know if he was sick or tired or whatever but he actually didn’t look well. He was pale, slow and his eyes looked a bit glassy.

Joe’s mental acuity seemed pretty good. He did stumble several times and sometimes he ran on in several different directions. There were a few times one had no idea what the hell he was talking about.

Once again, Biden doesn’t seem to have much in the way of policies. He seems confused about the Green New Deal and the Biden Green Deal. He actually rejected the Green New Deal and then supported the Green New Deal within 35 seconds. That was weird and shows that he is compromised in some way. Either because his mind is going south or he is a puppet of the Left. I think it was a little bit of both.

He still did not condemn Antifa or BLM even when pressed on it. He said that Antifa is not a group but an idea. Well, if a bunch of people in uniforms, a flag and have U-Haul trucks with weapons from the leadership then that’s a group. I also want to point out out that these thugs are getting plane tickets so they can riot in other cities.

Whenever Biden was attacked and had no answers, he looked down or chuckled or looked in a different direction. Whenever someone has no answers, they begin to look at their notes or look away or just look down. They don’t look into the camera or look at their debate partner. Kamala Harris and Hilary Clinton do this.

Biden lied a ton, especially about COVID. He made it out that Trump botched the COVID response and was responsible for all 200,000 deaths. Believe it or not, this was Trump’s best moment. He put Biden in his place saying Biden would have screwed the whole thing up. He also pointed out that the estimates put the death toll at 1.5 to 2 million.

Biden said that he thinks that all the systems in the United States are systemically racist. This is an egregious statement. He said that the police are systemically racist but there are good cops. And it was a serious opportunity missed by Trump (though Wallace did help). If I were Trump, I would have asked three questions:

• What systems are racist?
• How can there be good police when the system is racist? Aren’t any new cops racist because the want to be cops?
• Finally, if all the systems are racist, and you, Joe, have been part of the system for 47 years, doesn’t that make you a racist?

Another big mistake that Trump didn’t take advantage of: his taxes. The New York Times released a shitty report about how Trump “cheated” the government on taxes, “paying less than a nurse would pay.” This was another missed opportunity.

• This is just a lie. And the release of his records is illegal. Trump paid millions the year the New York Times pointed out.
• How many people has Joe Biden employed? Donald Trump has employed tens of thousands. Business is business.
• I would have pointed out that Joe Biden used the tax laws to save himself $500,000 in federal income taxes.
• Finally, who created the tax laws? Trump didn’t violate laws. Biden was a senator for 39 years and voted on laws.

No policies. Just orange man bad.

Biden was terrible. But Trump missed a ton of opportunities to bury him.

Trump Fucked it Up

Trump did not help himself.

He definitely had the better performance. He looked strong and confident and not as orange as he usually is. He showed the usual energy. That would be a problem. But he was like a honey badger. He attacked and attacked and attacked and never let Biden talk, which is what Biden didn’t want to do. The more Biden talks, the more people how doddering he is and how he has no policies.

Trump’s continued arguing was very annoying and made him look like a bully. I think he even pissed off the moderator, Chris Wallace.. We’ll have more on Wallace later. He did not do a great job and I like Chris Wallace.

Trump was not prepared for this debate. He did not have a lot of facts. Facts that would have buried Biden. There was not one question in the debate that Trump would not beat Biden on.

Trump should have gone after Hunter Biden right at the start. It would have thrown Biden off his game in the beginning. Pissed him off. But Trump waited until forty minutes into the debate to bring it up. By then, most people had already turned the thing off.

Trump is very clumsy with his words. Clumsy to the point that he does not get his answer across in the most absolute way. Then, the media jumps all over him. When he was asked if he would condemn white supremacy, the answer should have been, “absolutely” and story over. Then he could go after Biden about the violence by Antifa and BLM. I actually thought this was a crappy question.

Trump needed to let Biden talk. He needed to ask a question and let Biden answer. When he did this, Biden stumbled, Biden refused to answer or just looked in all directions. He would look really bad.

Moderator or Debater

Chris Wallace did not do a good job. I was surprised. I thought he was one of the best journalists on Fox News. He is hard hitting, he doesn’t care who he interviews, his questions are probing and he knows how to ask follow up questions. My dad told me that he did not like Chris Wallace. He thought he is a liberal. I called my dad on Wednesday and agreed whole-heartily. I hate having to admit I’m wrong.

Now, I am not going to flip out completely on Wallace. I think Trump’s interruptions and badgering probably angered Wallace and Wallace held it against him for the rest of the debate. But as a journalist and moderator, he needs to be bigger than that. Even the broadcasters on Fox News said that Wallace did not do a good job and appeared biased.

Biden never answered any questions. Wallace never followed up on them.

Wallace cut off Trump when Trump was scoring points on Biden. When Trump brought up Hunter and Antifa, Wallace cut the questioning, essentially bailing Biden out.

The white supremacy question was just idiotic. Trump has been condemning white supremacy for four years and his social life involves tons of minorities. Remember Hershel Walker? Remember Don King? Remember Mike Tyson? He had relationships with all those people. What was more insulting is he did not push Biden on condemning Antifa or BLM.

He didn’t do a great job.

Overall?

It was a draw.

I like Trump and Biden didn’t seem too coherent so I think Trump won. But that because I like Trump’s policies and philosophy. I don’t think the United States is evil. I hate critical race theory. I don’t think we are systemically racist or the police are evil. I don’t like socialism. The think the Green New Deal is trash. I think Biden will resign in the first year and that he has dementia. I believe in the free market system. I believe Antifa and BLM are evil, terrorist groups. I don’t think we should defund the police.

I’m listening to an audio book now called America Crusade by Pete Hegseth. It really is an inspiring book. He says that most Americans are “squishy” Americans or 50% Americans. What that means is that we love to country, culture, history and philosophy of the United States. Why we are “squishy” or 50% American is because, when faced with people or groups who may not agree with us, we hold our beliefs back as not to insult someone. Here’s the problem: There is no middle ground anymore. We actually have to fight for this country now.

Per Hegsseth, civilizations last between 235 and 270 years before they collapse. The United States is 245 years old. People are beginning to forget. They are rejecting our Judeo-Christian moral purpose and Greek reason. People ignore, or don’t know, the history of a growing country. No one understands how capitalism works or what a democratic republic is. No one considers that socialism and communism has never worked in world history.

Well, I do. And I wear my Donald Trump mask. I will be a 100% American. That’s because this country is worth fighting for. That’s why I think Trump won. He’s fighting for what our founding fathers fought a war for. He believes in what they created. Biden just wants to overturn the country and apply policies that will affect my children and grandchildren. They may never know why this country is the greatest country in human history.

So, my advice to you: wear your MAGA hat. Slap that bumper sticker on your car. Put that “Trump 2020” mask on your face. Don’t be afraid. Be 100% American. By the way, I didn’t make that up. That was from Hegseth’s book too.

Hypocrisy rules.
The elites don’t need the law.
Biden Sounds crazy.

Some are More Equal than Others

This is something I don’t like to talk about because I do not like the concept of an elite class in this country. This is something that Tucker Carlson point to a lot. How the elite of this country control and crave power and don’t need to follow the same rules that all us “little people” have to follow.

But, over the last four months since the lockdown, we normalies have had to hide ourselves, lose our jobs, lose our economy and have to find skin friendly leaves to wipe out butts because we cannot find any toilet paper. It’s been miserable. We can’t go to restaurants, movies or even go on hikes because we could get the COVID. We have to wear masks everywhere we go. They are hinting they want us to wear masks outside now. Our kids are all stuck inside. They can’t go to school, they can’t go the park, they can’t go out and swim in the beach.

The weight of this change in our lives is taking its toll.

• Teenage suicide is up 50%.
• Children, who have only had online school, are showing they are not learning anything.
• Child abuse is up dramatically.
• Domestic abuse is up dramatically.
• Divorces and separations are up by almost 60%.
• Businesses are closing and people will permanently be losing their jobs.
• Finally, do you think the lockdowns might have something to do with the riots we’re having.

But, meanwhile, our elites, who are preaching that we must continue to shut our schools and keep our businesses, seem to think they are on a different plane than the rest of us. They can’t get COVID like the rest of us. So they can live their lives as they always have and force businesses to violate our elites own laws in order to accommodate the elites. Coincidentally, those elites also happen to be Leftist Democrats:

Let’s look at some examples over the past few months:

• Bill DeBlasio decided to go to a gym right after he shut down all the gyms in the city.
• Lori Lightfoot decided to get her hair styled when she had closed all the hair salons and barber shops.
• By the way, Lori Lightfoot had no issues with the protests in Chicago. Until the rioters came to her neighborhood. That’s because she is a high level target and her family was threatened. Wow.
• Gretchen Whitmar, the governor of Michigan, waved off her husband’s name-dropping when he wanted to have his boat put into one of the lakes, even though Whitmar closed the lakes.
• Chris Cuomo, brother of New York governor Andrew Cuomo, got into an argument with a guy because he publicly admitted he had COVID and the guy called him out.
• Recently, Nancy Pelosi, who won’t help anyone during this pandemic, was recorded getting a hairdo in a salon that was closed because of the shutdown.
• On Wednesday, Portland mayor said he was moving from his $800,000 condo because Antifa and BLM thugs, who apparently do not exist, because of his and the other tenants safety.

“Do as I say, don’t do as I do.”

“All animals are created equal.
But some are more equal than others.”

That was an Animal Farm reference. We’ll talk more about that later as we go through Animal Farm.

Here are some questions that will never be answered:

• Why do you people set up laws and edicts but don’t feel you should follow them?
• Is COVID really a thing anymore? Nancy Pelosi is 80 years old and at the highest risk for COVID. If she isn’t afraid of it, why should we?
• Why does Nancy, and the others, blame small businesses that are closed? Why can’t she just say, “I’m sorry”?
• When are you people going to allow people to come out of their houses and live?
• If you’re seem to be lying about COVID, why trust you on anything else you people are pushing?

That’s it. The best way to handle problems is to ask questions. Plato did this. Socrates did this. Aristotle did this. Trey Gowdy wrote a book about this.

I’m done.

White Privilege

This reminds me of another thing the elites are doing which is pretty disgusting: accusing everyone of white privilege. I was going to talk about this earlier because of a discussion I had with Josie, my fiance.

First off, what is white privilege? Wikipedia, where the Left defines pretty much everything, defines it:

White privilege (or white skin privilege) is the societal privilege that benefits white people over non-white people in some societies, particularly if they are otherwise under the same social, political, or economic circumstances.

In other words, because I am white, I am privileged. Everything good that has happened to me is because I am white. I am treated better because I am white. And we are told this by the elite or those who are elitist. It’s kind of disgusting.

Listen to the most elite, privileged person in the world, Chelsea Clinton

What a way to raise you kids. She is basically telling them that they are stained because they are white. I think, personally, this is shitty parenting. It’s indoctrination into a bullshit belief system.

Even someone like Chelsea Clinton is not privileged because she’s white. She’s privileged because she’s the daughter of a President. She has the same privilege as the daughters of Barrack Obama. Their privilege has nothing to do with race.

There are a couple of things that annoy the crap out of me when it comes to this.

• A lot of the good things that happen to an individual are actually through talent and hard work. Not race.
• It ignores the bad things that an individual must go through.
• It ignores privilege of those who are people of color. How did they get their privilege?

My fiance and I got into a debate. She said that there was white privilege. I thought this was funny but I didn’t laugh in her face. I wanted to debate. I asked her some questions:

• If I have so much “white privilege,” why have I been unemployed 4 times?
• Why has my bank account been overdrawn and could depend on no one to fill it?
• Why do I live where I live and she lives in a two bedroom apartment with a gym and swimming pool?

Now, am I privileged. Damn right I am. I had a supportive family. I have great parents and great kids. All they wanted was the best for me. I never had to worry about being homeless. I have had problems that kept me up at night but knew I could get through them on my own. But I worked my way through college while raising a family, being a sports coach and stuff like that. I got a divorce and had financial struggles. I have my own place though it looks like something somebody camps in instead of lives in.

I have had some good luck. Have had some bad luck. Am I privileged? Yeah. Is it because of my race? Not at all. Neither is Chelsea Clinton’s privilege.

No haiku tonight. I’m too pissed.

Mob Rules

Things are getting really hot across the country.:

• We are in the third day of riots in Kenosha. We are in the in the 80th day of riots in Portland.
• A sixty to seventy year old man was knocked unconscious by a rioter for using a fire extinguisher to scare off looters of his business.
• In Kenosha, three people were shot, two are dead. More on that later.
• On Twitter, BLM activists are filmed harassing people in restaurants, forcing them to raise a fist in support. Those that refuse are screamed at by the mob. One person that refused to comply was a BLM activist. Two others actually were mentally challenged.

The Media Lies

The main stream media is about narrative. And you can tell by how the media is covering this stuff.

• They continue to say that the rioters are protesters.
• They do not show the damage caused by the riots.
• They say the protests are “mostly” peaceful.
• They do not talk about it.

The Jacob Blake case is an example of “proof” of racism before anyone knew anything. Now, more information is coming out. And this is pretty serious information:

• Jacob Blake was not breaking up a domestic dispute. He was in the middle of the domestic dispute. He stole the car keys of the woman, who is also black, who called the police. The call was recorded and released.
• A new video was released showing that Blake was fighting the police and had broken free of them, violently, before walking around the car.
• Blake had a warrant for domestic violence and third degree sexual assault on a 15 year old.
• His three kids were in the car but it is not clear if the car was actually his (possibly his former partner).

Here’s the thing: the media is lying about the actual cases that they are putting on a pedestal as an example of systemic racism and police brutality.

• George Floyd had a heart condition and died of a fentynal over dose. He was also screaming he couldn’t breathe before he was brought to the ground. This does not justify what Derrick Chauvin did but Second Degree Murder?
• Michael Brown committed a strong armed robbery 15 minutes before he assaulted the police officer who shot him.
• A report was released in the Brianna Taylor case this week and no one will hear about it.
  • The drug dealer was first reported not to be in the house. He was.
  • It was believed that the cops broke into the house unannounced (this was a no-knock warrant). The police did announce themselves.
  • It was reported the police broke in a started shooting. That is not true. Taylor’s boyfriend started shooting first and the police shot back, killing Taylor.
  • There is evidence, during the undercover investigation, which includes audio, video and telephone conversations that, not only did Taylor know about the drug dealing, but she was directly involved.
  • The Louisville mayor dismissed the report.

And that’s the tip of the iceberg. We could talk about all of the cases the media uses as “evidence” of systemic racism. There are, literally, only about twenty controversial cases over the last ten years.

The main stream media is about narrative. Facts are not a thing for them if they go against their narrative. Statistics are not a thing for them if they go against their narrative. Their narrative is that this country is racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic. The police and the system are racist. They ignore facts and history. They treat us like we are stupid. They ignore the violence in the street and, when they don’t, they say the violence is not only justified, but is proof that the system is racist.

That’s right! The looting, the harassment of innocent citizens, the destruction of private property and businesses, the injuring of over 900 police officers and the murders by rioters are proof of systemic racism.

How can the system win when the violence caused by the fascism of Marxist and anarchist group is proof of how bad this country is?

The Democrats are No Where to be Seen

Where are the Democrats during all this violence? They talk about criminals getting shot by the police, and you will have to show me an unjustified death. Heck, I thought Derrick Chauvin’s behavior was over the top but it is not looking like he is an incompetent and not necessarily a racist. In fact, I don’t think they are going to get second degree murder.

• Tony Evers, the Democratic governor of Wisconsin, has condemned the police without knowing anything about the police and has only asked the rioters not to be violent. He sent only a quarter of the National Guard that the Kenosha police requested and rejected federal help.
• Jenny Durkin, the Democratic mayor of Seattle, has rejected and condemned federal help to quell the riots in Seattle. She even called the riots a “big street party”.
• Jay Inslee, the Democratic governor of Washington State and a former Presidential candidate, didn’t even know there were riots in Seattle for two weeks. Either he was lying or he’s incompetent.
• Lori Lightfoot, the Democratic mayor of Chicago, is more concerned about the shooting in Kenosha, WI than the 66 black people shot in her own city. People who were shot by other black people.
• Mayors Bill DeBlasio (D.-NY) and Murial Bowser (D.-Wash D.C.) are more worried about painting “Black Lives Matter” on their street than the fact that crime has gone up by 200% in their cities.
• Violent crime, drug addiction and homelessness are out of control in San Francisco and Los Angeles but Gov. Gavin Newsome (a Democratic) and mayors Eric Garcetti (D.- Los Angeles) and London Breed (D. – San Francisco) are more interested in preventing its citizens from going to church than about anything else.
• By the way, Gavin Newsom’s stupid policies have caused the state to burn with brush fires and are causing rolling black outs during a heat wave. Some cities haven’t had power for three days. But he wants to raise the state income taxes by 4% and kill Prop 13 so he can collect more property taxes.
• I did not mention Baltimore, Boston, Atlanta, Houston, Austin or Denver (all run by Democrats).
• There was not one mention of the riots during the Democratic National Convention.
• Kamala Harris, the de facto Presidential candidate, never mentioned the riots in her speech. She has yet to take a question from the press.
• Joe Biden is still in his basement. He has condemned the violence during the protests…once. The last time he took a question from the press was July 8th and I do not count the interview with Cardi B, the intellectual of the Democratic party.

Here’s the big story: the Democrats don’t care. They like this. They don’t care whose lives and businesses are ruined. They don’t care who dies. As long as their narrative is met. Their narrative:

• Trump is bad.
• Trump is orange.
• Trump is chaos.
• The country is in chaos.
• Vote for Democrats to end the chaos.

We are being held hostage. The Democrats are telling us that all this shit will stop if they are elected, though I doubt that. I doubt it because the people that are rioting are extremists and want to fundamentally change the country. They want fascism and tyranny.

Civil War, Anyone?

There are three reason we can have a civil war:

• Ideological – A groups of people do not believe in the same philosophy. An example of this would be the Bolshivick revolution in Russia/Soviet Union. Lenin believed in Marx’s philosophy though he believed that it could not be implemented gracefully or naturally. His Bolshivicks needed to implemented it by force.
• Territorial – One group wants more territory than they have. The American Civil War could be seen as partially territorial. Partially.
• Cultural – The culture of one generation has taken new values that the older generation. Kind of what’s happening now.

By the way, I am making this shit up. I didn’t read about this. You are actually hearing my philosophy.

Here’s the thing: none of these works by itself. It is about a combination of two or all three.

We are, officially, in a civil war. The reasons?

• Culture – Our culture, right now, is about collectivism. This has been around since the sixties. But, like the pigs thought in Animal Farm, they thought it would take a long time. So the Left took over the major institutions of our civilization over the last 50 years: education, media, education, art and entertainment. The institutions that accept individuality and personal freedom and capitalism; religion and business, are being cancelled if they do not comply. This wasn’t a thing ten years ago.
• Ideology – The United States was founded on individuality and predetermined, inalienable rights. Life, liberty and the pursuit of property (happiness). We have natural rights. Those rights include speech, religion, peaceful protest, right to vote and the ability to protect those rights and overthrow a government that has become tyrannical. The Fore Fathers thought that this was human nature and absolute. That these rights proceeded government. The Left does not believe in personal freedom. The believe that rights should be given by the government and that human nature is malleable.

See the difference? There can be no middle ground between the Left and the rest of us. Ben Shapiro, in his latest book, How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps, called the Left Disintegrationists and the classical liberals Unionists. There is no middle ground. There is no negotiation. Right now, in this country, it’s one against the other.

On Tuesday, a seventeen year old boy vowed to protect the business of Kenosha, WI. It was caught in an interview. He was carrying a rifle. Should a 17-year-old be carrying a rifle in the middle of a riot. Probably not. No matter what his intentions. Because seventeen year olds are stupid. All children are stupid. Here’s what happened:

• There were shots. Apparently, this 17-year-old was involved. One was killed.
• He ran away and was chased by the mob.
• He was attacked, thrown to the ground and beaten by…whoever. No one cares about that.
• He turned, with his rifle, and shot.
• He shot one in the head and another one in the gut. One of the assailants died.
• Though the rioters were in striking distance, he didn’t shoot again. In fact, one assailant was within seven feet. He didn’t shoot.
• He walked away without firing another shot.

This is how revolution starts. We now have three sides.

• The Left.
• The alt-Right.
• The militia.
