Boo! Did I scare you?
Our kids are not scared.
Instead, find careers!

RIP Charlie Daniels!

Keep Going in This Direction, Joe

Sleepy, Creepy Joe has released his economic policy if he ends up as President:

• $700 billion spent on new, clean energy and jobs.
• Free healthcare.
• Free community college.
• Free child care.
• More COVID-19 support for families and small businesses.
• Raising taxes on corporations and individuals. In other words, rolling back the Trump tax cuts.
• Raise the Federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
• Put a 100 day moratorium on illegal alien deportation.

This “Build Back Better” campaign is called the Biden/Sanders economic plan.

This scares the Hell out of me. Joe Biden will not be President. Bernie Sanders will be. AoC will be. His radical black women VP will be. He is a puppet. Bernie Sanders made that very clear in an interview with MSNBC:

I am going to say something that will make this podcast not good for kids: Trump can win this election with this crazy shit. He needs to stop lowering his poll numbers by stop fucking Tweeting.

When Nancy Speaks…

…three things fly out of her mouth: Dentures, spittle and crap.

Let’s listen:

She doesn’t care about statues. Wow. Forget about our history. That’s one of our leaders.

Here’s what is ironic: a group of people to black out the Black Lives Matter giraffe on the streets in California and were charged with three misdemeanor counts including a hate crime charge. These people are looking at jail time. They were interviewed on Fox News and they just said they do not agree with BLM and did not want it posted in front of their residence.

This is the bravest thing I have ever seen. These two people walk into the middle of the street and start blacking out the grafitti. They were lucky enough only to get confronted by people who were curious about what they were doing, not by some radical with a baseball bat or screw driver. They had to know what they were doing is dangerous, but they didn’t care. They are tired of the state sponsored BS and decided to fight it.

Sounds Like a Career to Me

The Wall Street Journal released an article about teenagers in New York who are able to intern scrubbing tombstones and repairing mausoleums at a Bronx graveyard. Sounds awesome, huh? Actually, it is a lot better than all that. And those that volunteered for the internship are finding that out.

Let me clarify the article a bit so that it does not sound so morbid. Cemeteries are made up of tomb stones and mausoleums. Over time, these become dirty or broken. They need to be fixed. And who fixes them? Masons. Suddenly, that does not sound so bad. These teens work six hours a day on weekdays for ten weeks. They learn how to set up scaffolding, applying mortar, power washing and understanding mausoleum documentation. The interns make $15 an hour. Not bad for an intern.

But what the teens really learn is a skill. Masonry is a centuries old profession and can be applied to many more projects than mausoleum repair (though that can bring in $30-40 an hour). Construction, art repair and home repair all require someone who might require the specialty of a mason. And if a mason has a license and belongs in a union, a well-paying career can be had.

Why did this article come up in this podcast?

Josie has three children. She wants all her children to go to college even though none of them really have an affinity for school and really do not have any plans for the future. I told her that she may want to think of her kids skipping school and learning a skill from a trade school. Trade schools are less expensive, relatively short in time and concentrate on a specific skill. And a skill that is desired and usually pays well.

I use me as an example. I went to college and got my degree in Literature. But, once I received my Bachelor’s Degree, I could not do much with it. I needed, at least, a Master’s Degree even to teach. I started teaching computer applications and soon was promoted to teaching computer networking. Twenty-five years later, I have a career, get paid well and my skills are desired by a lot of companies.

Yes, I still write and read constantly and my degree has helped my career but I could have saved four years of time if I had just concentrated on learning a skill (not to mention a lot of money on tuition). And institutions of higher learning (heck, high school is pretty crappy too) are becoming more worthless than anything. Our kids are not learning anything necessary like we did in the past, are not being hardened to be able to handle the job market successfully and are being indoctrinated into the Leftist view of the world.

Let us talk about our failing institution of education.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/young-new-yorkers-carve-out-a-careerfrom-a-graveyard-11593525601

The Indoctrination Machine

The educational system is falling apart. From grammar school through Harvard University. Let us take a look at some of the things I am talking about.

Mathematics

I amaze children at restaurants. Not because I can make a quarter disappear with a paper napkin (I can do that). But because I can calculate a 15% tip in my head. I actually had a kid challenge me with a calculator. We bet $5. I had the answer before she even pulled her phone out of her pocket (I never saw that $5). My point? Mathematics and science are completely ignored, even discouraged, in our country.

Math is not even a thing anymore. In fact, there is this push to make math into something racist. This is so stupid, I will not even go into that garbage. I have not even read the stories. I just do not care. Kind of makes sense. If a man can be a real woman why can’t 1+1=6? Forget the fact that a theoretical mathematician who specialized in chaos theory tried to come up with a math system that proved 1+1=6 and he went insane.

Forget that, let us just say kids can not do math. They do not get it and do not see why it is important. They can not add, subtract, multiply or divide. Decimals and fractions are a mystery. Fuck algebra, calculus, physics and trig. That ain’t happening.

Math is the base language for life. It is used in every other discipline including music, art, language, astronomy, science, statistics and logic. Hell, my Haiku in the beginning of this podcast was used to calculate the number of syllables to make it a haiku. Dr. Zuess, who is a racist, defined his poetry off of mathematics. Beethoven, Mozart and even your favorite rapper (which is not music) use mathematics to come up with the perfect word, beat or note.

Maybe that is why our music has gone down hill in the last twenty years.

Science

Men can be women. Natural gas, nuclear energy and fracking are dangerous. Nothing but man is causing global warming. The world will end in ten years. A fetus is not a human being. We need to take a train to Hawaii. All these stupid “scientific” declarations by the Left are based on “science”. And the normal people laugh at this crap because we are “ignoring” science.

Maybe we are not ignoring science. Maybe this is all just bullshit.

Here’s the problem: our kids are learning this crap.

I know a kid, who shall remain nameless, who can not do simple math or knows what an atom is telling me that Greta Thunberg knows more about climate change than I do. What? When I asked her when the last ice age was, she did not know (we are in an ice age now). When I asked her what the wobbling of the earth is (that is when the poles of the earth switch), she did not know. When I told her that two economists that won the Nobel Prize in economics said that we would not face a crisis for another 100 years and then it would only cost 4% of GDP to fix and if she read their paper. She did not.

OK, I did not ask her the last question. But I did tell her I did not take my scientific advice from a 14-year-old with autism and a compulsion disorder. This is what our kids are being taught and who they are getting their information from.

By the way, I do believe in man-made climate change. But I think the United States is far from the main culprit. Heck, the statistics say that.

Our kids are not learning science. They are learning talking points that masquerade as science.

History and Civics

Let’s see:

• Our youth is tearing down statues of historical figures.
• They are tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln and  Ulysses S Grant because they are racists.
• They tore down a statue of Fredrick Douglass and Junipero Serra, not sure why. Pretty sure they do not know why.
• George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt and Francis Scott Key are all racists.

Our kids do not know shit about history. Do not believe me? Ask the who Plato is, Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Moore, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison or Theodore Roosevelt is. They will not know.

Ask them a couple questions about the United States.

• What are the three branches of government?
• Who is the Vice President?
• What are the first 10 amendments of the Constitution called?
• What are the first three words of the Constitution?
• Name one right in the 1st Amendment of the Constitution?
• Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?
• What economic system does the United States use?
• Who is in the Executive Branch?
• What month do we vote for President?
• What is the highest court in the land?

Then ask your kid this:

• What is the LGBTQ?
• What is Global Warming?
• Who is Greta Thunberg?
• What is a union?
• What happened in 1619?

Our kids are only learning the history the Left wants them to learn.

Literature and English

Are you kidding? Look at the books that are banned. Look at how your kids write. Look at how your kids speak.

I could spend a day talking about this. Our kids do not know how to speak English anymore.

The Truth comes to Light.
Evil has become Main Stream.
It is time to fight.

Oh, Jeez…Here They Go!

The Left is on full attack. They beginning to show their true colors. It is no longer about defunding the police, it’s about changing the whole system. Ilhan Omar, who is really making things work for the Right, says something really stupid but really true. Listen:

Oops! There it is!

I find this statement amazing from Omar. She escaped the craphole that is Somalia during their one of many civil wars and ended up in a refugee camp in Kenya. Then, the United States offered her family asylum. She came here, got an education (which sounds like it didn’t take) and became a Representative in the house. I don’t know; that kind of sounds like she found the American Dream she says doesn’t exist. As far as I am concerned, she is an example of why America is great and she sounds a tad unappreciative.

She is also the last person who should be giving moral advice. She illegally married her brother so that he could come into this country and then married her husband. She has violated tax code and is under investigation for multiple ethics violations. Finally, to add the cherry to the sundae, she had an affair with a married man. She denied the affair, the cheaters got a divorce from their spouses and then the two got engaged. Yeah, I’m pretty sure she’s not one I would be listening to about evil.

This whole “defund the police” thing has nothing to do with defending the police. It has to do with ripping the system apart. Getting rid of capitalism for socialism. Eliminating religion for the state. Destroying the family for the collective. That’s what they want to do. The police and the military are the problem that prevents the Left from doing what they want. They will actually block the Left from going crazy like this. But the Left is losing their power.

Why is the Left losing their power? Because people don’t really want anything extreme like Ilhan Omar’s brave vision in the future. Most people like capitalism and George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. They don’t want change. Most people also believe that what happened to George Floyd (remember him?) was an injustice. Most people believe we should have some reforms of the police department. That does not mean we should dismantle the greatest civilization in human history.

I want Ilhan Omar to talk. Heck I want all the Left to exclaim their desires. Their plans. Their goals. Because, as Princess Leia said in Star Wars, the tighter the squeeze, the more people will slip through their fingers.

Dude, Let the Guy Talk!

The Left is getting desperate. Their denizens are not even hiding it. The Leftist media disguises trying to be Classical Liberals but fails in the attempt. The best example is when Terry Crews was interviewed by Don Lemon. Terry Crews basically thought that Black Lives Matter is full of crap and that blacks needed to resist the promises of being given a better life and must earn it. He said in a Tweet:

These are not really bazaar statements. He’s basically saying that black people need to take care of themselves, clean their own yards before overturning the country. We need to be real about the nature of people and see what is happening. People are not dying of evil police but are killing each other. But these thoughts go against Black Lives Matter. Unfortunately, Don Lemon of CNN let the cat out of the bag while he was pontificating over Terry Crews in an interview:

I love Don Lemon. Not his politics. I think those are stupid but he’s so dumb he will let the cat out of the bag. Chris Cuomo does it too. He basically said that BLM is not about black lives. It’s only about police brutality (and there’s not a lot of evidence of that) and social change. Lemon admitted it. It is not all about black lives. It is about certain black lives. Black lives about police brutality. Not about murder of black people through crime. This is stupid. It is about transgender protection, collectivism, Marxism, destroying the nuclear family. It is good that Don Lemon finally admits it.

Also, he gives us a little hint. Crime is way up and blacks are killing other blacks. This is something they are not going to be able to hide anymore. Did you catch it. Bet you did. It is going to turn out to be about gun control. That is a podcast for another day.

Did She Really Say That?

I got into a debate this weekend with my brother-in-law. We are pretty tight and can talk politics even though we are kind of on the opposite sides of the issue. Neither of us won the debate. We just agreed to disagree. But, one of the things that tripped me out was his theory about the “defund the police” movement. He is a former fire fighter (a captain) and told me the defunding thing is not what I thought it was. I told him he did not understand Black Lives Matter.

Well, leave it to Black Lives Matter to prove my point. This is YahNé Ndgo who heads the Philadelphia chapter of Black lLves Matter:

Re there any doubts now? This is pure Marxism. The community will take care of everyone and all their wants and needs. This is literally cut out of the Communist Manifesto. And we need to be clear: Black Lives Matter wants to rid the country of police.Period. Not transfer some money to social programs, or create other sections of the police departments

Bid Adieu to CHOP
Law and Order is a must.
No Peace without it.

News

The City Hall Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ, or CHOP, they never really decided is no more. And it took a threat of violence to the sympathetic mayor for it to go away.

Earlier this week, Black Lives Matter protesters, well, rioters, stood in front of Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan’s $7 million, yelling. That was it! It had to end now that our overlords are being annoyed. The Seattle police and FBI went into CHOP and, for the most part, everyone ran away like rats. Only thirty people were arrested.

Unlike the mayor, I thought the place should have been ripped apart the second someone died. So far two died with two injured in shootings. Shootings that involved roving gangs of CHOP “law enforcement.”

Now New York idiots are trying to start their own CHOP commune. In front of Bill DeBlaso’s workplace, New York’s City Hall.

So, what is the reasonable response to handling lawlessness? Cut the police, of course.

New York City has agreed to cut one billion dollars in budget for the NYPD. This will cut new police recruits for being hire, will cut their plain clothes police force and will cut off overtime. You know what that means? Less cops on the streets. Don’t forget that New York already has a no-bail policy so people do not have to stay in jail after they commit crime.

Los Angeles is going to cut $100 million out of their budget for the police. Because Los Angeles does not have any issues like drugs, crime and homelessness. Oh, wait, they do.

Virginia has decided to lower charges when it comes to violence against the police. What?

The police has been made into villains. And it is not because of what happened to George Floyd. This is about taking over the system. This is about making the capitalist government look evil.

The Destruction of Law and Order

The purpose of the government, whether it be local, state of federal government is made up of only two parts:

• Protect the people.
• Provide a civil outlet for monetary or social injustice.

For the federal government, this means protecting the people from foreign attacks and resolve issues involving interstate commerce. That is it. Nothing more. The federal government has expanded through misguided laws and the courts (and that’s a topic for another podcast) but that is it. They do not deal with intrastate commerce or protecting state citizens.

The state government is meant to protect its citizens and resolve commerce conflicts. That is it. Nothing more. Some state governments have expanded their roles through the courts (and that’s a topic for another podcast). They do not answer to the federal government and should not deal with local government.

Local government could be defined as a county, city or town (principality). They are responsible for protecting the people and resolving conflicts in commerce. That is it. Nothing more. Some local governments have expanded their roles through the courts (and that’s a topic for another podcast). They do not answer to the federal government. They do not answer to the state government. But they do answer to the people.

The people have the most responsibility. We have the responsibility to live by moral purpose. We are to be the best people we can be based on nature’s laws (from the Bible). We do not murder or steal or swindle. We are here to be as successful as our capacity will allow while following those natural laws and the laws of our society. We are responsible for using reason to innovate (Plato, Aristotle, Acquines). Innovation that will improve the life of the individual and the lives of society. We are to combine our reason with moral purpose (mostly religious laws which the Founders saw to be natural laws). If, we the people, follow this, our society will become stronger.

As free citizens, we have one more responsibility: Protect ourselves from enemies, both foreign and domestic. And “domestic enemies” really means our own government. It says it in the second amendment:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

So here’s the thing: We have a social contract in this country. We will live following the rules and lead productive lives. If we do not follow this, we will be poor or put in jail. The government will solve our commercial conflicts and protect us. If they do not, we will get our guns, form a militia and replace the government.

Here’s the question: Exactly who it fulfilling their side of the contract right now?

Why Did I Bring This Up?

Did you see the patterns in the above? All governments, including state and local governments, only have three responsibilities: protect us, settle commercial disputes and leave us alone. The Constitution tells us this. The Federalist Papers tell us this. And if the government fails to protect us and our freedoms, we have a right, defined in the Second Amendment, that we can take it upon ourselves to protect ourselves, our families and our property. Nay, the Second Amendment demands it.

Our country is failing us. Last podcast we talked about how the Left wants to tear down the system. The Left exclaims that the police and military are evil and should be thrown out. Then the Left has the audacity to tell us that we do not have the moral capacity to break out our guns and protect all that we have worked hard and is dear to us.

You can imagine what would happen if you were in this poor woman’s situation and you called the government for help. And this is all you got:

That is terrifying. This was a woman in her car with her toddler daughter when a group of “non-violent protesters” blocked her path. Then they started attacking her car. I do not know what happened, but this should never happen. Where were the police? They were told to stand down during these “peaceful” protests.

These thugs are running around and tearing down statues of people they do not even know. And the police are just watching them or not there at all. Why? They are being told to stand down by government officials.

St. John’s Church in Washington D.C. was set on fire. This is a church that every President in the United States visited. Where were the police? The Washington D.C. mayor told the police to stand down.

CHOP or CHAZ had four shootings that left two dead. One shooting was by a 16 year old critically injuring a 14 year old. Where were the police? They were told to stand down by the Seattle mayor, Jenny Durkan.

Contrary to what the Left’s belief system is, most normal Americans do not want statues torn down, churches burned or people assaulted or killed. This is anarchy. This is communism. And this stuff did happen in communist countries. Lenin burned Russian historical sites. In fact, it has happened in all tyrannical regimes. Can you say ISIS?

People are not going to tolerate this garbage in this country. And people are already beginning to respond.

What Do the Stats Say?

There has always been stress between the police and black community. Heck, there has been stress between police and the Left. They have been vilified by the Left. Anything they do is questioned. Anything they do deserves a prison sentence. Anyone the arrest is a victim. With the advent of the camera phone and social media, everything they do is seen and spread, whether it is good they are doing or bad.

Here’s the thing: the police do a very hard job. A job that is dirty and is not always pleasant. And, at times, it can be very violent. Even the episodes of Cops that we always watched in the past was cleaned up for television. But this reaction that all cops are racist just does not float.

According to a database compiled by the Washington Post, no exactly a conservative outlet, in 2019 there were 375 million confrontations involving police. Only a fraction of those led to police using their gun or shooting a suspect. The total number of unarmed black people that were shot was 9. That’s right: only 9 unarmed black people were shot by police. Out of 375 million confrontations! Does not exactly sound like the cops are hunting black people. By the way, there were 19 unarmed white people killed. There were a total of 1004 deaths by cop in 2019. That means .0003% of police confrontations actually led to death by shooting. Not a lot. Of those deaths, 37% were white, 24% were black and 16% were Hispanic. Now, blacks being shot by police is higher than there population (15% of the population is black) but it is not too extreme. Not to mention, the poverty rate, single family homes and education capacity is also a lot higher within the black culture which leads to more crime. That’s not racist, it is just facts.

But one statistic that we do not ever see is how many confrontations between police and blacks were actually because a crime was committed? We do not know. How many of those confrontations were initiated by a call to the police versus the police stumbling on a black person? We do not know.

All this also applies to the justice system. How many by race are in jail or prison because they actually committed a crime? I bet it is around 99.9% (I have to assume there are some innocents in prison). If that is the case, what difference does race have when a person is in jail or prison? A criminal is a criminal.

The Left ignores statistics. Facts just do not jive with their narrative. They just roll out the same old cases and point to them as proof of racism. They like to point to:

• Trayvon Martin – Who was not shot by a white cop but a Hispanic civilian.
• Michael Brown – Who was unarmed but committed a strong-armed robbery and assaulted and injured a police officer before he was shot.
• Breanna Taylor – Who was killed in a botched raid.
• George Floyd – murdered by police.
• Philando Castille – Shot by an officer because he was holding a gun.
• Tamir Rice – Shot because he held a modified toy gun.
• Eric Gardner – Selling loose cigarettes and resisted, put in a choke hold and had a heart attack.
• Freddy Gray – Died of a broken neck in police custody. Four officers charged (two being black). All released.
• Rayshard Brooks – Shot by police after resisting and pointing the policeman taser at the policeman.

Notice something here? The cases have nothing to do with each other. There are no commonalities. Some (Floyd and Taylor) were completely unjustified. Some (Brown, Brooks, Gray and Gardner) were actually committing crimes. Finally others (Castille and Rice) were understandable accidents.

Also, these deaths did not occur in the same year but over the span of several years. It is not like the Left can point to twenty of thirty cases a year. The also ignore the fact that Brown, Floyd, Rice, Gardner, Gray and Brooks were all committing crimes.

To me, it does not seem like the facts justify all the noise the Left is creating.

Overreaction…Sort Of

With the death of George Floyd, which is completely unjustified and the officers should all be fired and spend time in prison, the Left has taken the opportunity to get rid of the police and let anarchy take the streets.

When the protests turned to riots, the mayors and governors decided to tell the police to stand down. This led to violent riots that destroyed hundreds of businesses and private property, injured hundreds of civilians and police and led to the deaths of civilians and police. The media has decided to ignore all this and proclaim that the riots were just “peaceful protests.” One reporter actually had the balls to say this while a building was burning behind him. The cowardly mayors allowed  blocks of destruction and two police precincts in two different cities to be overtaken by rioters.

With no police, there was anarchy. And most of the problems occurred in Leftist cities (Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, Atlanta, New York City, Seattle, Portland, Washington DC, Dallas, Houston and Baltimore just to name a few). Of course, it was not the crappy policies that were creating these riots, it was the police. Black Lives Matter (a Marxist organization) and Antifa (and anarchist organization) were never blamed for the violence though both admit that violence was needed. They were seen as groups representing the “victims” of the the police.

So what did the Leftists do to calm the violence and crime?

• Eliminate cash bail.
• Allow lawlessness including tearing down of statues, burning building, looting and murder without actually arresting anyone.
• Abandon two police precincts.
• Allow the formation of Chaz which led to the shooting deaths of two people.
• Forbid police from responding to calls involving rioters…er…peaceful protesters.

But it is getting worse.

• New York City has decided to cut $1.5 billion from the police force.
• Los Angeles has decided to cut $150 million from the police force.
• The Minneapolis City Council has voted to completely defund the police department.
• Virginia has a law pending that would lessen the crime for assaulting a police officer.
• Many cities have banned choke, holds, tasers and tear gas. I guess the police are suppose to use foul language.
• Congress wants to ban Qualified Immunity so that a cop can get sued for anything.
• Domestic disturbance, drug and mental health calls should not be handled by police but by unarmed social workers.

There are two goals here by the Left: Get rid of the police or make it that no one wants to be a police officer. Unfortunately, this philosophy is picking up steam and seems to have become mainstream. It’s hard to believe but a Christian straight man that works hard and loves his country is now part of the counter-culture.

Fighting Back…Legally

This is where a civil war within the United States could start. It is when people who stand up for their country and their rights fight back against the Leftist mobs that are trying to tear down our freedom, institutions and history. They burn our flag and want to destroy our monuments.

Gun sales have gone through the roof, up 80%. Gun stores are complaining that they cannot keep up with demand for guns and ammunition. Gun manufacturers cannot produce enough to keep up with demand. Do you know what this mean? Guns have become a commodity. Is this surprising? Of course not. Without cops, people have to fend for themselves. The greatest support for the Second Amendment is the Left’s hatred for police.

This week, Mark McClosky and his wife saw something that scared them. Groups of “non-violent protesters” broke through the wrought iron gate of their private community. The rioters were on there way to another house. They started cursing and threatening the McCloskys. At that point, the wife pulled out a handgun and the husband pulled out an AR-15. Guess what happened? The protesters walked right passed the house. Yeah, they were screaming and stuff but they showed the kind of people they were when confronted: cowards.

The media demonized the McCloskys, of course. But Mark is a lawyer, knows how debate and is a classical liberal. He aligns more with Black Lives Matter than Fox News. He also laid a whooping to Chris Cuomo when he suggested that the destruction of McClosky’s house is less important than the cause. McClosky said he worked hard for 32 years to get where he is and he had a right to protect it since all his calls to 911 were ignored. Cuomo had a tough time responding.

Unbeknownst to the Left, they have actually helped arm America. The average American does not like what he is seeing and is preparing to fight against this lawlessness the Left is propagating. Because they have decided to eliminate police, Americans did not panic. They just decided to take matters into their own hands. In the near future, we are going to see neighborhoods and communities arm and organize to ensure the protection of the community. The Constitution had a term for this in the Second Amendment: an armed militia.

Conclusion

Do our police need better training and be held to a higher level of accountability? Darn right they do. I wanted to hold a podcast talking about the things I would require from police but I will list a few things right now.

• We need a database of police indiscretions and misconduct. Police misconduct should not be left to the local government but spread throughout the United States.
• Training needs to be expanded to the point of the training our Special Forces in the military go through. This includes physical, mental and emotional training. This is why the Navy SEALS are so elite and rock butt. The police go through the same rigors and should be trained the same way. Refer to Dan Crenshaw’s book Fortitude.
• Police should have to go through periodic (monthly) psychological testing. Tests for PTSD, emotional issues and anger issues. Not police are only tested when they go through a tramatic event.

These are just some of the things I would want done. There are more. But all this require more money put into our police, not less. I think we need more police on the streets, not less.

But there are also things that we should expect from our citizens. Things that 75% of the population are already doing. And if those practices are violated, not be surprised by the results. That includes:

• Treat the police like they are authority. They are.
• Obey their commands.
• Treat them respect. They will treat you the same way.
• Remember that the words or accusations of the police is not the final word. You can fight them in court.
• Remember that the police have been trained to think you are going to kill them. They want to live more than they want to keep you alive.
• Remember that the police are people. They are there to protect you. And bitching about a speeding ticket, even if it does not end in violence, makes their job harder and will ruin their day.

We need the police. We need better police. We can have that. The Left’s attempt to rid our country of police will just lead to chaos. We already saw that in Chaz.

Destroying it destroys us.
Can’t let it happen.

The Destruction of History

I did something weird this week. In fact, I bet I will be put on some FBI watch list after purchases are scanned. I bought Margaret Sanger’s Women and the New Race and Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. 

Margaret Sanger is a eugenicist, racist, abortionist and founder of Planned Parenthood. She believed that abortion should be required for anyone who would weaken society. That includes babies born with Downs Syndrome, physical disabilities and…wait for it…people of color, especially blacks. That’s not a mistake. She’s considered an American hero to the Left. They, conveniently, left out the fact that she was an ardent Marxist and wanted to breed blacks out of American society. This is an example of the Left’s revisionist history and I wanted to read her own words.

Howard Zinn’s book is being sent to schools as required reading. It has been touted as the history book by Will Hunting from the Oscar winning movie, Good Will Hunting (I like Matt Damon as an actor, by the way). He was also a Marxist and socialist. He said the American Indians were innocent and loving giving Columbus the chance to slaughter them at will. The conflicts with the Soviet Union, Cuba, Korea and Vietnam were because of American imperialism. Our kids are reading this crap. This is an example of the Left’s revisionist history and I wanted to read his own words.

Today, we have a bunch of snot-nosed kids tearing down statues because… not sure. I mean, I get it if they were tearing down statues of Robert E. Lee or of Jefferson Davis or even of John Adams. But Abraham Lincoln, who started a war that led to the death of 700,000 Americans to end slavery and was killed by a… um… Democrat? And Ulysses S. Grant, who was an ardent anti-slavery guy and helped pen the 15th Amendment? And Francis Scot Key, who wrote the poem that ended up being the Star Spangled Banner? Or Theodore Roosevelt, who was the most popular President in U.S. history and really didn’t do anything that could be seen as controversial.

Here’s the thing: the radicals we are seeing in the streets right now, encouraged by the Left, don’t care about what statue they destroy. Their goal is not to destroy Confederate statues, which can be understood a bit. Their goal is to destroy American history. The Left cannot have history in America if they want to change the institution of America.

Here’s the thing: America was a bad place at one time. We fixed it. Are we perfect? No. But this country is as close to perfect than any other country in human history. We had slavery. We had Jim Crow. We didn’t let women vote. We interred Asian Americans during World War II. We had Watergate. We supported terrible regimes. But we saw our sins and we dealt with them. That is our history.

Here’s the problem with the Left: They want complete change of our institutions and philosophy. They want to control the economy, media, art, education and healthcare. They want a all-controlling government that determines every aspect of our lives. They do not want us to think of ourselves as individuals but as a collective, without individual identity and whose value is only based on what he can do for the collective.

They proclaim the need for love and togetherness. They claim that the sins of the United States can be solved by working together. They claim we can all have homes, money, education, healthcare, televisions, Internet and iPhones. Our collective love can solve crime so we will not need those evil police. They claim we can achieve world peace through globalism so that we do not need a military to solve international conflicts.

This sounds great. Heck, it sounds like The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels. I read the pamphlet when I was 20 years old and it made sense. I can see why kids think it is a good philosophy. Heck, in college, I took a class in the different religions and thought all of them were good. It made me question my Christianity.

I can see why there is a push to get rid of our way of life and replace it with a philosophy that promises Utopia.

Here’s the problem: History. World history and the United States history.

There has never been a communist, socialist or marxist country that has not led to tyranny, imprisonment, starvation and death. The Soviet Union, Nazi Germany (which was a socialist country), Italy (which is fascist country), North Korea, China, Venezuela, Vietnam, Cuba and assorted Central American countries have tried to create Marx’s utopia. They all ended up in tyranny and dictatorships, imprisoning or killing anyone who does not comply.

What does the Left do? Revisionist history. I have children in my life. They don’t know what the Soviet Union is. They don’t know what the Cold War was. They don’t know what the Berlin Wall was. They know about Hitler because he was a fascist (they don’t know what that is) because Conservatives have been tagged as fascists (which makes not sense). But they don’t know anything about Lennin, Staling or Mao, each of who have killed far more than Hitler has.

And educators teach about wonderful “socialist” countries like Norway, Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands. This is the great lie. These countries are not socialist and never have been. These countries continue to point out they are not socialist. But the Left continues to revise world history in order to push their narrative.

The next big problem the Left has is American history. And this is far more problematic for them. They are attacking the problem revise and eliminate.

The revision of the history of the United States has been going on for decades. Howard Zinn’s book, A People’s History of the United States, was first published in 1980 and took society like a whirl wind. It made the United States out to be an imperialist country that is the cause of all the evil in the world. Zinn is a well-known Marxist but not much of a historian. His book is rife with mistakes and exaggerations. Real historians have debunked the book over and over again. But this book continues to be used in schools and is a reference in colleges. This type of history makes every event, whether good or bad, into something that had evil undertones. Columbus’ discovery was not a great achievement but was to enslave the peaceful American Indians and rape the country of resources. World War II was not to end the tyranny of Japan and the genocide in Germany but was to quench our imperialist appetite. This is all crap, of course, but people are buying it.

The New York Times 1619 Project is another example of revisionist history but it does something a bit different. This Pulitzer Prize winning piece (of crap) decides to ignore history all together. It states the history of the United States started in 1619 with the first black slaves arriving on our shores. Mind you, there was no United States in 1619. It tries to convince people (and is doing a good job) that the United States was founded on slavery and oppression and that we have never left that philosophy. That the country in 2020 is no different than it was in 1619. It ignores the creation Declaration of Independence and Constitution. It ignores the philosophies of the Founding Fathers when it comes to slavery and only focuses on their sins. It ignores the fact that there has been slavery throughout world history (and it remains today) and that slavery is a uniquely American trait. It ignores the 600,000 people that died in the Civil War we had to eliminate slavery. It ignores the Emancipation Proclamation that was supported by most of the country. It ignores the 15th and 16th Amendments that gave blacks freedom and right to vote. It ignores Women’s Suffrage that gave women the right to vote. It ignores the Civil Rights Act that ended the Jim Crow laws.

It does not see the United States as a country that saw evil and transformed and grew. It chooses to see the United States as continually as evil as some of our beliefs back in the 17th century. In fact, it sees us as the arbiters of that evil. In other words, we started it. And the best way to end the world’s evil is to end the system that started it and continues to promulgate it.

This is just crazy. There has always been evil in the world. The United States has spent its entire history fighting the evils in the world and from within. And it has done a great job of it. This series of essays is complete crap. Heck, the New York Times had to run a series of corrections on the historical “facts”. But this did not stop the essay from winning a Pulitzer Prize.

This project is what is leading the youth to destroy statues today. I have more thoughts on this in a later article. This is to destroy our history. That’s because those statues represent the changes that our country has gone through to become the greatest country in world history. Yes, it is in the guise of racist cops and American systemic racism. But, then, why tear down the statues of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant and Theodore Roosevelt? Because they are symbols of progress in the United States. And the Left cannot allow any knowledge of progress or transformation in this country because it would mean that we have grown as a nation and are not terrible.

The Left wants to destroy us. They use uneducated children to do their deeds. Children that don’t know our history, have accomplished nothing, want everything for free and are filled with the ideas of an unattainable utopia. All so that a few elitist tyrants can gain power.

My advice: Always question interpreted history. Beware of any history that goes to extremes like Howard Zinn’s history does. No country is completely evil. Especially this one.

And do not be silent. We’re passed that now. When someone says something stupid, point out
