Episode 1055 – Imagine Their Ratings If They Picked the Right Side!

President Trump releases a meme and the world catches fire. Is it justified?

An old prison may find new life if the president has his way.

And CNN is picking the wrong side again.

Much Ado About Nothing

Overview of the Controversy

President Donald Trump sparked significant controversy after posting an AI-generated image of himself dressed as the pope on his Truth Social platform, which was subsequently shared by official White House social media accounts124. The incident occurred during a sensitive period for Catholics worldwide, as the Church was mourning the recent death of Pope Francis and preparing for the conclave to elect his successor148.

Details of the Meme and Context

  • The Image: The AI-generated meme depicted Trump seated in an ornate chair, wearing traditional papal vestments and headdress, with a stern expression and his right forefinger raised248.
  • Timing: The post came just days after Trump attended Pope Francis’s funeral in Rome and publicly joked to reporters, “I’d like to be pope. That would be my No. 1 choice,” before clarifying that he was joking and mentioning Cardinal Timothy Dolan as a possible option246.
  • Dissemination: The image first appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account late on May 2 and was later posted by the White House’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, amplifying its reach and impact129.

Reactions and Backlash

Catholic Leaders and Organizations:

  • The New York State Catholic Conference, representing bishops in New York, condemned the meme, stating, “There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us”135.
  • Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, called the image “deeply offensive to Catholics especially during this sacred time that we are still mourning the death of Pope Francis,” and said Trump “owes an apology”59.
  • Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, distanced himself from the image, saying, “I hope he didn’t have anything to do with that. It wasn’t good”39.

Vatican and International Response:

  • Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni declined to comment directly on the meme during a press briefing, focusing instead on the upcoming conclave1.
  • Italian and Spanish media criticized the image as distasteful and offensive, especially given the ongoing mourning period for Pope Francis8.

Political and Public Reactions:

  • Some conservative commentators and Trump supporters dismissed the backlash, framing the meme as a harmless joke or political trolling56.
  • Joshua Mercer, vice president of the right-leaning CatholicVote, argued the meme was “obviously intended to be humorous” and not meant to mock the papacy5.
  • On social media, the image triggered a wave of memes, jokes, and parodies, while also fueling heated debate about respect for religious symbols and institutions7.

Defense and Official Response

  • The White House, through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, denied any intent to ridicule the papacy, highlighting Trump’s attendance at Pope Francis’s funeral and his support for Catholics and religious liberty19.
  • Supporters insisted Trump’s comments and the meme were made in jest, pointing to the prevalence of similar memes circulating online after the pope’s death56.

Conclusion

Trump’s AI-generated meme depicting himself as pope has provoked strong backlash from Catholic leaders and many believers, who viewed the image as disrespectful and ill-timed during a period of mourning for Pope Francis13589. While some supporters defended the meme as a joke, the incident has underscored ongoing tensions over the use of religious imagery in political discourse and the boundaries of humor and respect in public life.

This is Blasphemy

  • The X post by Oli London announces Adam Lambert as Judas and Cynthia Erivo as Jesus in a Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar, a rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice that reimagines the last days of Jesus through Judas’ perspective, set for August 2025.
  • This casting choice stirred controversy on X, with users like @1Uncensored and @phat_doggo2024 criticizing it for historical inaccuracy and perceived provocation, reflecting ongoing debates about representation and “blackwashing” in media, as seen in similar discussions around Netflix’s Cleopatra (2023), which faced backlash for casting a Black actress.
  • The production coincides with a tense global religious climate, as web results note Trump’s recent Truth Social post depicting himself as a pope after Pope Francis’ death in April 2025, which drew accusations of mockery from the New York State Catholic Conference, highlighting broader sensitivities around religious portrayals.

Picking the Wrong Side Again

The New York Post highlights CNN’s interview with a Sinaloa Cartel member, who, despite being labeled a terrorist by Trump, expressed respect for him, saying Trump is “looking out for his people” while blaming U.S. drug consumers for the cartel’s activities.

Trump’s administration recently designated the Sinaloa Cartel as a foreign terrorist organization, intensifying U.S.-Mexico efforts to curb fentanyl trafficking, with Mexican authorities increasing arrests and lab busts in Sinaloa state since early 2025.

Social media backlash criticized CNN for seemingly sympathizing with the cartel, with users on X accusing the network of seeking anti-Trump sentiment but instead receiving a response that aligned with Trump’s stance on protecting American interests.

Dumbass of the Day

Why Don’t You Just Build A Prison in the Desert?

President Donald Trump directed federal agencies Sunday to reopen the historic Alcatraz prison in San Francisco Bay, declaring the long-shuttered facility will once again house “America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.” The directive, issued via Truth Social, instructs the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security to rebuild and expand the infamous island penitentiary that closed in 196313.

The announcement represents Trump’s latest effort to reshape federal incarceration policies amid ongoing tensions with courts over immigration enforcement and detention practices.

The Presidential Directive

“For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society,” Trump wrote in his Sunday evening post2. The president characterized the reopening as a return to when America “did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm”4.

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson responded that the agency “will comply with all Presidential Orders” but offered no specifics on implementation timeline, feasibility studies, or budgetary considerations3. The mandate comes as Trump has clashed with judges over attempts to transfer alleged gang members to a prison in El Salvador and detain undocumented immigrants38.

Historical and Logistical Challenges

Alcatraz operated as a federal maximum-security prison from 1934 until 1963, when officials shuttered it due to deteriorating infrastructure and prohibitive operational costs38. The facility required expensive maintenance and all supplies had to be transported by boat4.

Reopening would necessitate substantial investment to modernize the crumbling structure to meet contemporary correctional standards. When the prison closed, officials estimated approximately $5 million in restoration costs-a figure that would be exponentially higher today8.

The island has functioned as a major tourist destination since 1972, when Congress incorporated it into the Golden Gate National Recreation Area under National Park Service management86.

Political Reactions

Critics swiftly condemned the proposal. A spokesperson from California’s Governor’s Office dismissed the announcement as “distraction day again in Washington, D.C.”6

State Senator Scott Wiener, who represents San Francisco, called the plan “absurd,” noting the site “generates significant revenue for the federal government and supports many jobs”6. Wiener characterized the proposal as “part of Trump’s ongoing crusade to sabotage the rule of law” and “a domestic gulag right in the middle of San Francisco Bay”6.

Representatives from the White House, Justice Department, FBI and Homeland Security did not immediately provide details on funding sources, projected costs, or implementation timelines when contacted by reporters3.

Episode 1050 – Crime Pays!

What a surprise! The Democrats and media (but I repeat myself) have been lying about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien gang member deported to El Salvador.

Karmelo Anthony, the murderer of a white track athlete in Texas, not only got out of jail but got a new car. His life is looking up.

And we have a serious mental health problem in this country. I have another couple of stories that show that.

News

  • A now-deported illegal alien accused of being an MS-13 gang member that was living illegally in Maryland has a record of being a “violent” repeat wife beater, according to court records filed in a Prince George’s County, Maryland, district court by his wife.
    • The police department’s Gang Unit MS-13 Intelligence Squad conducted an interview with Abrego Garcia and contacted a “past proven and reliable source” who identified him as an active member of MS-13 with the “Westerns” clique, with the rank of “Chequeo” and the moniker of “Chele.”
    • He was stopped and suspected of human trafficking because he had seven people in his car.
    • The police contacted the FBI under Biden. They were told to take pictures of everyone in the car and let them go.
  • The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing a high school football star at a track meet allegedly lives in a $900,000 home with his family inside a luxurious gated community — despite requesting that a judge lower his $1 million bond because of financial difficulties, according to a report.
    • Karmelo Anthony, 17, is holed up with his family at the pricey home inside the gated community of Richwoods in Frisco, Texas, after he was released from jail Monday on a reduced $250,000 bond for allegedly killing Austin Metcalf earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported.
    • They are paying $3500 a month in rent.
    • “He got a new car,” the resident told the outlet. “If you look at the license plate, it’s got a paper tag and it says it expires June 4.”
  • District Judge James Boasberg has issued an opinion stating that he has found probable cause that the federal government was in criminal contempt by refusing to comply with his order prohibiting certain deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.
    • “The Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions … demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt,” Boasberg said in an April 16 opinion.
    • Boasberg’s order came after the Supreme Court vacated his orders and said the case was brought in the wrong court.
    • “The fact that the Supreme Court determined that this Court’s TROs suffered from a venue defect does not affect—let alone moot—the compliance inquiry presently teed up here,” he said.
  • Cody A. Balmer, the suspect charged with arson at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence, was motivated by his perception of Shapiro’s stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, specifically regarding Gaza. According to multiple search warrants and police documents, Balmer targeted Shapiro because he believed the governor’s actions or policies were contributing to the suffering and deaths of Palestinians12345678.
    • Balmer called 911 after the attack, identifying himself and stating that Governor Shapiro “needs to understand that he will not be part of his plans for what he intends to do to the Palestinian people”12345678.
  • Don’t feel bad for Harvard.

More Proof We Have A Mental Health Crisis

Nikita Casap, a 17-year-old from Waukesha, Wisconsin, has been charged with the murder of his mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51. Authorities allege that these killings were part of a broader extremist plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump and overthrow the U.S. government. Federal court documents reveal that Casap aimed to secure financial resources and autonomy to carry out his plan, which included purchasing explosives and a drone equipped for weapon delivery123.

Casap’s phone contained antisemitic writings advocating violence, a manifesto praising Adolf Hitler, and communications with neo-Nazi groups such as the Order of Nine Angles. Investigators also found evidence of his plans to destabilize the government through targeted assassinations and incite chaos. He allegedly shared his intentions on platforms like TikTok and Telegram and communicated with individuals in Russia about his plans125.

The bodies of Casap’s parents were discovered in their home on February 28 after being deceased for over two weeks. Casap reportedly lived with the remains before fleeing in Mayer’s vehicle, taking $14,000 in cash, passports, and other valuables. He was apprehended in Kansas later that day during a traffic stop468.

Casap faces multiple charges, including first-degree murder, conspiracy to assassinate the president, and attempted use of weapons of mass destruction. He remains in custody with a bond set at $1 million and is scheduled for arraignment on May 7137.

About Time

Idaho has recently enacted House Bill 380, making it the first state to legalize the use of firing squads for executing individuals convicted of aggravated lewd conduct with children under the age of 12. Governor Brad Little signed the legislation into law, which will take effect on July 1, 2025136.

Key Provisions of House Bill 380:

  • Death Penalty Eligibility: The law allows the death penalty for pedophiles convicted of aggravated lewd conduct with minors under 12 years old. Prosecutors must prove that defendants meet at least three of 17 aggravating factors, such as committing multiple acts of lewd conduct, using force, or transmitting a sexually transmitted disease to a minor18.
  • Mandatory Minimum Sentences: For cases involving minors under 16 that do not meet death penalty criteria, the law imposes mandatory minimum prison sentences of at least 25 years23.
  • Execution Method: Idaho has also made firing squads its primary method of execution, becoming the only state in the U.S. to do so. This decision follows challenges in obtaining lethal injection drugs and concerns about botched executions57.

Legislative and Public Reaction:

The bill received overwhelming support in the Idaho Legislature, with only a few dissenting votes. Proponents argue that it serves as a strong deterrent and aligns Idaho’s laws with stricter penalties for child sexual abuse seen in other states36. Governor Little stated that such crimes are “sickening and evil” and merit the ultimate punishment10.

Critics, including some lawmakers and advocacy groups, have raised concerns about equating justice with retribution and questioned the constitutionality of applying the death penalty to non-homicide crimes, citing past U.S. Supreme Court rulings like Kennedy v. Louisiana (2008)39.

This landmark legislation reflects Idaho’s tough-on-crime stance and marks a significant shift in criminal justice policy regarding child sexual abuse cases.

Just Why?

The city of Northglenn, Colorado, has passed a new ordinance limiting the number of pets per household to four, effective August 1, 2025. This restriction applies to a combination of dogs and cats, with a maximum of four animals allowed in total per residence124.

The ordinance was introduced following complaints from residents about excessive noise and pet waste caused by large numbers of pets in certain neighborhoods. The city council conducted extensive research and discussions before implementing the regulation24. Northglenn was previously the only municipality in Adams County without pet ownership limits45.

Residents who already own more than four pets can apply for a “previously owned pet exception” before the ordinance takes effect. This exemption requires submitting a form listing each pet’s name, breed, age, sex, and acquisition date. Failure to comply with the new law or disclose extra pets by the deadline may result in enforcement actions, including court orders mandating pet removal135.

The ordinance does not apply to puppies or kittens under six months old from the same litter living in the same household5. Similar pet ownership limits are already in place in nearby cities such as Arvada, Aurora, Brighton, and Broomfield5.

The Truth Is Out There

Summary of the Declassified CIA File: Soviet Soldiers and the “Alien Stone” Incident

A recently resurfaced, declassified Cold War-era CIA document has gone viral for its extraordinary claims: it details an alleged incident in which Soviet soldiers were turned to stone by extraterrestrials after a confrontation with a UFO, according to a report originally compiled by the KGB and later obtained by the CIA after the Soviet Union’s collapse1357.

The Alleged Incident

  • Time and Place: The event reportedly occurred in 1989 or 1990 during a Soviet military training exercise, with sources variously citing Ukraine or Siberia as the location1357.
  • Initial Encounter: Soviet troops observed a “low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer” hovering above their unit. For reasons not fully explained, a soldier fired a surface-to-air missile at the UFO, causing it to crash nearby1357.
  • Alien Response: Five short humanoids with “large heads and large black eyes” allegedly emerged from the wreckage. According to the two surviving soldiers, the beings quickly regrouped and merged into a single, spherical object that began to emit a buzzing and hissing sound before flaring up with an extremely bright light1357.
  • Aftermath: The explosion of light reportedly turned 23 soldiers into “stone poles” or limestone-like pillars. Only two soldiers survived, shielded by shade from the full force of the blast1357.
  • KGB Actions: The KGB is said to have transported the petrified remains and the wrecked UFO to a secret research facility near Moscow. Soviet scientists allegedly concluded that the soldiers’ molecular structure had been altered to resemble limestone, caused by an unknown energy source beyond current scientific understanding1357.

The CIA’s Assessment

The CIA document, which summarizes the KGB report and media coverage from Canadian Weekly World News and the Ukrainian newspaper Holos Ukrayiny, describes the case as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one’s blood freeze.” The CIA’s commentary concludes:

“If the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case. The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions. They can stand up for themselves if attacked.”13567

Authenticity and Skepticism

  • Source of the Document: The CIA file is not an original intelligence report but rather a summary of foreign media and KGB documents, some of which were open-source and not independently verified by the CIA2358.
  • Skepticism: Former CIA officers and analysts have expressed strong doubts about the story’s authenticity, noting that the tale has likely been distorted through multiple retellings and resembles science fiction more than credible military reporting1268.
  • Media Origins: The story was first reported in the early 1990s by sensationalist outlets and has resurfaced periodically, most recently gaining attention through podcasts and renewed public interest in UFOs358.

Broader Context

The incident is part of a broader wave of renewed curiosity about UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena, especially following recent U.S. government disclosures and the establishment of official task forces to investigate such reports58.

I Love This!

Grizzly Pines, a private gay nudist campground in Navasota, Texas, is facing backlash for its policy excluding transgender men. The controversy began when the campground reaffirmed its cisgender-only policy in a now-deleted post on Trans Day of Visibility, citing the need to preserve “comfort” and a “shared lived experience” among cisgender men. Critics argue this exclusion contradicts LGBTQ+ values of inclusion and body positivity124.

The Houston Bears and other groups have severed ties with the venue, canceling events in solidarity with trans men. Critics within the LGBTQ+ community have labeled the policy as transphobic, questioning its justification and timing24. This incident has reignited debates about exclusion and community definitions in queer spaces124.

Episode 1049 – Another Example of a Two-Tiered Justice System

These district court judges will not stay in their lanes. It’s time for thew Supreme Court to get involved.

We have another example we have a two-tiered justice system.

And Taylor Lorenz, who was so crazy the Washington Post canned her, goes on a rant defending a murderer.

No Justice Under the Law

A judge in Collin County, Texas, has significantly reduced the bail for Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old high school student accused of fatally stabbing fellow student Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet on April 2, 2025. Originally set at $1 million, Anthony’s bond was lowered to $250,000 following a hearing on Monday, April 14. The decision came after the judge considered testimony from Anthony’s parents, his lack of prior criminal history, his age, and his ties to the community2134.

Anthony, who faces a first-degree murder charge, was released from jail after posting the reduced bond. As conditions of his release, he is under house arrest, must wear an ankle monitor, can only leave home with the judge’s permission, must check in weekly with the court bailiff, and is prohibited from using social media214.

The defense argued that the original $1 million bond was financially oppressive, noting the family’s inability to pay and the stress the case has placed on them. The judge agreed that bond should not serve as punishment but rather ensure the defendant’s appearance in court and the safety of the community. Prosecutors opposed the reduction, citing the severity of the crime and the substantial funds raised for Anthony’s defense through crowdfunding, but the judge ultimately sided with the defense214.

The incident occurred during a dispute at a high school track meet, where witnesses say Anthony stabbed Metcalf after a confrontation over seating. Anthony has claimed self-defense, but the case remains under investigation and will be presented to a grand jury1234.

If convicted, Anthony cannot face the death penalty or life without parole due to his juvenile status, in accordance with Supreme Court precedent1. The case has drawn significant public attention and debate, with both families urging the community not to politicize or escalate tensions surrounding the tragedy21.

It Gets Worse

Karmelo Anthony’s family, following his charge in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas, track meet, has announced plans to use a significant portion of the more than $400,000 raised through online donations to purchase a new home and hire private security. This decision comes amid what the family describes as a wave of “graphic and racist threats” after their home address was leaked online in the aftermath of the incident51112.

During a recent court hearing, Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, confirmed that the funds—originally raised for legal defense—would also be allocated for the family’s relocation and security needs. He cited the threats and the family’s inability to safely remain in their current residence as the primary reasons for these expenditures51112. The family’s attorney, Mike Howard, emphasized that the money is not a bond fund but is necessary for the family’s survival and safety, especially as Anthony’s father is currently on leave from work12.

The threats against the Anthony family reportedly escalated after their address was posted online, with some messages containing violent and racist imagery. In response, both the family and their legal team have prioritized moving to a safer location and securing private protection, in addition to preparing for Anthony’s legal defense451112.

As of April 15, 2025, the online fundraiser for the Anthony family had surpassed $420,000, with the stated intent to cover legal fees, relocation, and security costs. The case has drawn significant public attention and backlash, with some questioning the use of donated funds for purposes beyond legal defense, while others have expressed concern for the family’s safety in light of the threats received5612.

Here We Go Again

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status and work permits of more than 530,000 migrants who entered the United States under the Biden-era CHNV (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) humanitarian parole program. This program, launched in 2023, allowed migrants from these four countries to fly directly into the U.S. with the support of a U.S.-based sponsor, granting them temporary legal status and work authorization for two years12345678.

Key Details

Who is affected?

  • Over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who entered the U.S. legally via the CHNV program12345678.

What did the Trump administration attempt?

  • The administration sought to terminate the CHNV program and revoke the legal status and work permits of these migrants, instructing them to leave the U.S. by April 24, 2025, or face deportation235.

What did the judge decide?

  • U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the government cannot revoke the legal status of these migrants en masse without conducting individualized, case-by-case reviews12345678.
  • The judge stated that “early termination, without any case-by-case justification, of legal status for noncitizens who have complied with DHS programs and entered the country lawfully undermines the rule of law”24.
  • The ruling temporarily halts the administration’s plan, preserving the migrants’ legal status and work permits while legal challenges continue12345678.

Legal and Humanitarian Rationale

  • The court cited due process concerns, emphasizing that mass deportations would deny migrants a fair opportunity to challenge removal and could cause significant harm, including family separation and danger upon return to their home countries14567.
  • The judge also granted class certification, meaning the order applies to all CHNV parolees as a group58.

Broader Context

  • The CHNV program was designed to provide a legal pathway for migrants from these countries, aiming to reduce unlawful border crossings and allow for better vetting235.
  • The Trump administration argued the program was an overreach of executive authority and contributed to system strain, but the court found the administration’s approach to be legally insufficient5.
  • The Department of Homeland Security has not yet announced whether it will appeal the ruling1.

Implications

  • Migrants in the CHNV program retain their legal status and work permits for now.
  • The ruling is a significant setback for the Trump administration’s efforts to quickly dismantle Biden-era immigration policies.
  • The case will continue in court, and the migrants’ status is protected at least until a final decision is reached12345678.

The President will State It Himself

The X post by The Post Millennial captures a meeting on April 14, 2025, in the Oval Office where El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele told U.S. officials he would not deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national accused of MS-13 ties, back to the U.S., citing concerns over smuggling a terrorist into the country (Axios, 2025).

Bukele’s stance follows a controversial U.S. deportation of Abrego Garcia, despite a 2019 court order granting him “withholding from removal” status due to potential harm in El Salvador, an action the U.S. Justice Department later attributed to an administrative error (Axios, 2025).

The meeting coincides with U.S. discussions on deporting gang members, as Secretary Marco Rubio recently noted the transfer of 250 gang members, including 23 MS-13 members, to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, highlighting Bukele’s hardline anti-gang policies (Newsweek, 2025).

Let’s Nuke’em!!

Trump is getting some great news from Asia. The news media wants your retirement to go away just to get rid of Trump. There are a couple of really dumb stories that the twisted news media is pushing and people are making fun of them.

 

China Blinks

On Friday, Trump applied another round of tariffs on China. China responded by applying more tariffs on U.S. products. Well, the Chinese economy did not take that well. The Chinese currency, the Yuan, crashed to its weakest since 2008. China’s equity market fell 3%. A lot of these issues involve the trade war and the protests in Honk Kong. Hong Kong’s economy,  China’s largest trade partner, is also tanking.

In response, China’s leading trade negotiator, Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, said he would like to start negotiations with the United States again. President Trump, in a Twitter post, continued to hammer away at China stating:

Trump is doubling-down on China. He’s telling them that, not only will the war continue and ratcheted up, but he will put pressure on American companies to stop dealing with China or suffer the consequences (though I am a fan of the “order you” language).

China can’t win this war. Their economy is not strong enough and they depend on this country. But, I will say it again, we will suffer. Trump is not wrong in fighting this trade war. He’s right that it should have been done years, possibly decades, ago. But he needs to tell the people what China is about. They steal hundreds of millions of dollars of our intellectual property per year. They enslave and kill their citizen not unlike what the Soviet Union did in the last century. They restrict speech of their citizens and openly monitor them.

China is not a business partner. They are an adversary. They want to dominate us. They want to dominate the world. President Trump needs to tell the American people this and justify the pain we might go through in the future. Trump needs to stop always painting a rosy picture. He needs to tell us what is going to happen and why. A lot of people in this country do not understand tariffs or the economics. Last thing he should want is to surprise people before an election.

 

Good Start at the G7

Trump announced that the U.S. and Japan have come to a trade agreement that would allow the United States to export agriculture and meat. The main commodities are corn and pork (Japan imports 25% of the U.S. pork). The deal has been agreed upon and will be signed tomorrow. Though the deal will leave existing tariffs on things such as cars, no new tariffs will be applied.

This is a big win for the United States especially because it is the agriculture industry that is taking the biggest hit from the trade war with China. This is great news for the United States and Trump should really push this since the media will not.

That being said, let’s get into some of the awesome news stories from the media.

 

Recession

This leads us to the question of recession. We have not been in a recession since about 2008. This country goes through a recession every nine to ten years. We are due for one. Combine that with the instability of Asia and the Middle East, this is a possibility. But the recession will be different. As we talked about China is struggling economically and a lot of Europe is beginning to see an economic downturn. The economy has become a global event, not just in the United States. And the United States is better equipped than anyone else to handle a recession.

But I do not think that a recession is going to be as bad in this country as it was in 2008. Remember, the 2008 recession was caused by a corrupt banking system that gave loans to people who could not afford to pay them off, creating an upside down real estate market. People were losing their homes. We were in the middle of two wars that cost trillions. We were ripe for a heavy recession.

What is really messed up is the left seems to look forward to a recession. Why does the left want us to lose all our retirement and wealth? Because a recession will be unpopular and Trump won’t win the election in 2020, of course. Bill Mahr has said this more than once.

This is what disturbs me more than we might end up in a recession. These elites hate Trump o much, they want the economy to tank. That will cost us little people our jobs and retirement. But, hey, that doesn’t matter because at least Trump is out of office. See, I like Bill Mahr. I like him because he tells the truth (he’s wrong about everything). He’s honest. He really doesn’t care about the people but, at least, he admits it (and in this case he did it twice.

It’s the same reason I don’t mind MSNBC. They are not like CNN and act like they are unbiased journalists. They are left wing journalists and that’s it. So I don’t care that they want a recession to get Trump out of the White House.

It’s the other people I can’t stand that hide. AoC cost her district 20,000 jobs, something that would have helped their economy and creating jobs. Because she hates capitalism. Bernie Sanders said that the bread lines in Cuba was a good thing and show the compassion of socialists. That’s because he hates capitalism and thinks nothing about the quality of life of the “little people.” Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris want to take away the insurance of a 150 million people and replace it with a crappy public plan. Why? Because the don’t care about what you want and think they know what you need better than you do. They don’t tell you that. They come back with some nonsensical math that must have been calculated on a five thousand year old abacus that is missing several beads. They don’t care about what people want because it is about the collective not the individual. And they do not have enough respect for us to tell us the truth.

At least Bill Mahr was honest.

 

And Mao and Stalin and Hitler…Oh My!

The news media is so lost and confused. I almost feel bad for them. OK, no I don’t.

On CNN’s Reliable Resource, Brian Stelter brought on a psychologist said that there was no difference between Trump and Stalin, Hitler and Mao when it come to sanity. He also said that calling Trump crazy is an insult to crazy people who might be good people but crazy. Listen to this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhleTmCpZHA

There are couple of things to unpack here. First off, this guy ain’t much of a psychologist or psychiatrist or whatever. He doesn’t give any diagnostic reason why Trump is nuts, he just says he is for political reason. But his political reasons are crap too. Last I checked, there are no gulags, people aren’t being arrested for going against the government (you better believe Mao would have locked him up for this), he’s lowered taxes, lowered regulations, created prison reform and has created a great economy. Mao, Hitler and Stalin didn’t exactly do any of that.

There’s also a little something he forgot. Hitler killed 12 million, Mao killed between 25 and 40 million and Stalin killed up to 70 million. Trump didn’t kill or jail anyone but he does say a lot of bad things. So what? What was embarrassing is not the hatred this “healer” showed but how Stelter didn’t push back at all or even question. So much journalisming at CNN. Stelter was asked to apologize but, of course, CNN said he didn’t have to. Any wonder why they are last in the ratings.

But there is a bigger reason to have this idiot on their show. The leftist media is fishing for a new narrative and they can’t come up with anything original. They started with racism, then went on to the 25th amendment and Trump being crazy. Then came Russia. Now that’s gone and they went back to racism. That doesn’t seem to be embraced. Now back to Trump being nuts and the 25th Amendment. Keep it up, guys!

But that wasn’t the funniest story of the day. The Huffington Post had an article that, for some reason, picked up a little steam. Citing anonymous sources (which really points to the story having a lot of validity), the Post reported that, to the shock of his cabinet, he asked why the United States wasn’t nuking hurricanes before they came to the shores of the United States, preventing them from causing damage.

This is such a stupid story that I won’t even comment. I’ll just let Trump’s Tweet about the story speak for itself:

Well, I do have to give the media credit here. This story is original.

Deflection

Donald Trump has found a new target for his ire. And though I am not a huge fan of the President’s rage Tweeting, this time, I think he hit it right on the head. Let’s talk about the story and then take a look how democrats are destroying our once great cities and states.

The Story

Elijah Cummings, the democratic representative of Maryland who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, had the Acting Homeland Security Secretary, Kevin McAleenan in front of Congress to discuss the crisis on the border. Well, he didn’t actually want to discuss anything. He just started yell at him. Watch:

I don’t know how any of this can be seen as anything other than abuse. And it is all completely wrong. Kids are not crapping into foil blankets nor are women drinking out of toilets. These are all lies. What’s more, this guy shouldn’t be angry at McAleenan. He didn’t make the laws. He’s in charge of enforcing them. Congress, specifically the House of Representatives is in charge of making laws. That’s where Cummings has been serving for the last 24 years.

I am sick and tired of hearing about these poor people that break our laws being “mistreated.” Well, I know they’re not being mistreated. If they were, people would stop streaming over the border. And I am especially sick and tired of hearing the moralizing from blowhards like this. Nothing but talk, no action.

Well, it took Trump a bit to respond but he eventually did. And he hit a nerve.The media did a spectacular job answering the President. You guessed it. He’s a racist. the media compared Trump’s claim that the city is rat infested by claiming that Trump also thinks (didn’t say, mind you) Congress is infested with “brown people.” I’m not kidding, watch:

Should we really be surprised about this? Of course not. The reason is that President Trump is correct. There is no argument. Baltimore is a crap hole and Cummings is a lousy leader who has been in office for 24 years. Baltimore isn’t all of Cummings fault. He’s a congressman and most of the issues are caused by the local politicians but he has done nothing to help.

Let’s look at Baltimore. It has the second highest murder rate behind St. Louis and only trails Chicago with the total number of murders (there were 1000 murders in Baltimore last year). According to Orkin research, it has the ninth highest rat population in the country. Fifty percent live in extreme poverty and have experienced homelessness. The homeless problem is growing. This place has a lot of problems. Pointing it out does not make Trump anymore racist than him saying grass is green (though they may find a way to make that racist too).

Democratic run cities have always had problems. The top ten big cities with the worst homicide rates are: 1. St. Louis, 2. Baltimore, 3. Detroit, 4. New Orleans, 5. Kansas City, 6. Cleveland, 7. Memphis, 8. Newark, 9. Chicago and 10. Cincinnati. Mind you, this is murder rate per ca pita. Chicago has the largest number of murder at 1300 with Baltimore second with 1000 murders. All ten cities have democratic mayors and governments.

The top ten big cities with the highest homeless population are: 1. New York City, 2. Los Angeles, 3. Seattle, 4. San Diego, 5. San Jose, 6. Washington DC, 7. San Francisco, 8. Phoenix, 9. Boston and 10. Las Vegas. Nine of the ten cities are run by democrats. San Diego is the exception but it is under the control of an extremely leftist state in California.

Rat population, which indicate a large amount of pollution and potential for disease. This are also indicators of quality of life. According to Orkin to top ten rat infested (I’m sorry about my racism) big cities are: 1. Chicago, 2. Los Angeles, 3. New York, 4. Washington DC, 5. San Francisco, 6. Detroit, 7. Philadelphia, 8. Cleveland, 9. Baltimore and 10. Denver. Again, each of the top ten is run by a democratic mayor and senate.

Is this a coincidence? Absolutely not! It is democratic policies the cripple economies and promote crime.

 

Crime

For years, democrats have manipulated laws to make victims of those that are criminals. Something that was illegal at one time is not illegal anymore. Though this may lower crime rates it does nothing about crime itself and, therefore, lowers the quality of life. In California, weed is legal and this forces drug dealers, many of whom are violent, to look as though they were victimized by the racist system (most incarcerated are people of color). In San Francisco, breaking into a car or shop lifting are addressed with a citation. That’s right, you can get a ticket for breaking into a car.  The judicial system, which is also very blue, are giving light and lighter sentences for some very serious crimes. This is all based on very liberal laws.

Leftist states also have the nasty habit of demonizing the police. They are seen as racist white supremacists for arresting so many people of color. It totally escapes politicians that people of color are committing most of the crimes and that 50% of the police forces in California and New York are people of color. Sure, there are some bad apples but they are few and far between.

Finally, leftist cities and states have a nasty habit of disarming there citizens. The make it very difficult for citizens to own guns to defend themselves. This makes everyone vulnerable to crime. Notice there are no cities in Texas with a high murder rate? That’s because everyone in Texas owns a gun and most actually carry them throughout the day. Only an idiot would try to rob someone in Texas.

 

The Left and the Economy

Since most leftists are socialists or communists, it is easy to believe that they are not fans of free markets. Leftist states and cities are heavily regulated. That means it is very expensive for small business. The businesses have to get permits, face inspections, high rent, payroll taxes and follow signage laws (you know, like the ones that say, “people smoke here” and crap like that). Each of these cost money that the owner has to pay. Then they raise minimum wage to $15 and hour which causes cost of living to go up and will also create job loss. Employers also have to give benefits that are required by the state. All of this creates a toxic atmosphere for small business. When small business is hurting the economy hurts because most people are employed by small business.

Big business also has a tough time in leftist cities and states. Property taxes, payroll taxes, minimum wage laws and benefits requirements are really scaring big business from opening or staying in leftist states. The final acts, which is forcing corporations to stay out of leftist states or move out of them is the continual attack on big corporations. These politicians seem to forget that big corporations higher thousands of people. Companies like Charles Schwab, Jamba Juice, Lyft, McKesson, Pandora and even the Oakland Raiders football team have left California to avoid paying the exonerate tax rates.

 

It’s About the Collective, Not the Individual, Stupid!

Tax rates are what is killing the average person too. I’ll just talk from my experience. I pay 26% taxes and that did go down from 28% because of the Trump tax cut. Unlike what everyone tells us, I did see the cuts. Gas prices are between $3.50-$4.00 a gallon. Gas prices went up because it is summer and California has a “special blend” for summer, whatever that means. I am also required to have driver’s insurance which is also overpriced. If I get a parking ticket, my insurance goes up. I have a one bedroom apartment and I spend $1600 a month. I spend $40 a month on electricity and $120 a month on water and trash. Mind you, I live alone.

I’d love to buy a house. But the average house in California is $600,000. That’s about $2400 a month mortgage. Then I’d have to add in homeowner’s insurance, including earthquake insurance, property taxes (about $6000 a year) and pay whatever communist neighborhood group I have to pay so they can tell me I’m not allowed to get that panda bear mailbox I’ve always wanted or need an edict from God to plant a tree.

Oh, and I almost forgot about the taxes. Property tax, income tax, sales tax, gas tax, inheritance tax, tax on cooked foods, tax to get a grocery bags, tobacco tax, cell phone tax, using too much water tax, city tax and capital gains tax. Did I mention gas tax. I know I did but they doubled it last year and that doesn’t include the sales tax on top of it. We are taxed to death in this state. And now, the state wants to add $100 million a year to the budget deficit (which is $2 trillion dollars) and give illegal aliens healthcare. Nice.

 

Family

I want to thank Dan Bongino for this because I always knew it but forgot about it.

Democrats hate family. Family is the faith that mom and dad know best. Family requires a mom, dad and kids. Typically, at least in my family, that meant we needed a moral base. That moral base was is religion. For us, that religion is Catholicism. Let’s look at that for a second.

Having a mom and dad means they are, together, raising the kids. Have you ever heard of “shotgun weddings?” That’s when some guy got some gal pregnant and he had to take responsibility for the gal and the child. He did that because he believed in God and knew what was right. She did too. And she married him even if she wasn’t sure. Responsibility.

Religion is important. The man knows why he needs to marry his pregnant girlfriend. Because it’s right. Why? Because we are a monogamous animal and it would just be wrong to disappear. The Judaeo-Christian reminds us of this. It doesn’t tell us this. We already know. That same Judaeo-Christian belief system tells us to raise our children in the same way. In other words, take responsibility, That is the same responsibility Christians embrace when contemplating abortion. It’s just wrong. Kids are good. Responsibility.

So, what does the left do? Well, let’s kill the family through toxic masculinity. Let’s kill motherhood through feminism. And let’s kill the value of life through “pro-choice.”

How about we just kill responsibility. It’s easier.

 

Conclusion

This is such garbage and nothing ever gets fixed. It’s time to say the dog has fleas and not worry about the dog’s feelings. One of the things I wish Trump would do is marry his ideas with the tragedies. In other words, I think his Tweets would have a lot more impact if he told us how to fix Baltimore and, through consequence, all democratic cities. Because, here’s the thing: all democratic cities, which, in turn, means failing cities, have the same problem. That is democratic, of leftist, ideals. Those leftist ideals are socialist ideals and they have never worked. Except to keep the leftists in power.

The Media Searches for a New Narrative

Trump is accused of sexual assaulted but the accuser is a little iffy. The democratic presidential candidates are going way left in preparation for the debates. And the Chicago Police department is really laying in to Jussie Smollett.

And I’m not even going to bring up the immigration crisis. Lots of stuff going on.

 

Another Trump Accusation

E.Jean Carroll is an advice columnist and author. She is also the latest woman to claim to have been sexually assaulted by President Trump in the mid-90s. Now, here’s what’s funny: this was a big deal on Friday. This gal went to several news outlets telling her story.

I am very skeptical about this whole story. Here’s the CNN interview with Carroll. It is graphic but I think you’ll see where I’m coming from one you listen to this woman.

I don’t know what’s worse: This woman’s really strange story, her woke-ness or the interview with CNN’s anchor Alisyn Camerota. Camerota never pushed back, never questioned why she didn’t go to the police, never asked her why she doesn’t go to the police now (we’ll get into that later) and called Trump a rapist without any proof being offered up. She didn’t even ask for proof. Awesome journalisming!

Like I said before, I do not put a lot of stock in this woman or her story. Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire (subscribe) had a great article about why this gal has no credibility. I’ll talk about his talking points and then throw in a couple of other things.

First, the description of the scene is completely implausible. They’re in a department store and go into a dressing room. But no one sees anything. Cameras do not catch anything. It’s a sexual assault. There’s noise and struggling but no one heard or saw anything before, during and after? Also, why would she go into a dressing room with a man she didn’t know? The story makes no sense.

Next, she never reported it to police and doesn’t want an investigation opened. In New York, there is no statute of limitations for rape and she says she still has the dress she was wearing that day (weird). There could be DNA evidence. But she doesn’t want the police to open an investigation. What’s her reasoning? Well, she gave an answer: “I would find it disrespectful to the women who are down on the border who are being raped around the clock down there without any protection. The women have very little protection there. It would just be disrespectful.” Yeah, OK.

So why even bring this up? To sell books. That’s the only reason to bring up after twenty years and still not want an investigation being done. She needs to generate some excitement for her book. Give people a reason to want to read it. Because she’s trashing Trump and making her rounds though the left wing media outlets, she’s sure to see a few copies. Very few looking at CNN’s ratings.

But I also have a theory. Listen to this short clip of her on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN and you might get where I’m going with this:

Hello? She’s nuts! I’m not talking about her being slightly loopy, I mean sitting-in-a-bathtub-filled-with-jello crazy. She doesn’t want the police to investigate because of the border crisis? She thinks rape is kind of sexy? I might read her book because God only knows what she is going to say.

Well, the media tried to get this brush fire started but it turned out to be raining out. I know the media needs a new narrative but this story died fast. It was released on Friday and, by Monday, it was dead.

 

The Must Be A Debate Coming

The first democratic debates are Wednesday and Thursday and that means that the candidates have been going crazy to get attention. And it’s all so delicious.

Bernie Sanders says that he wants the government to tax Wall Street with a transaction tax. Then, take the $2.2 trillion and pay off all the student debt. Of course he’s forgetting about people currently in college so the number is closer to $4 trillion. While he’s at it, he should pay off my car loan and mortgage.

Reparations for blacks because of slavery is so last week. Elizabeth Warren says we should pay reparations to gay people. No kidding. She says that since gay people were not allowed to be married they should be able to get tax breaks from years before for having a partner. Yeah, that has about as much chance of working than slavery reparations.

When asked if he would meet with the anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, Cory “Spartacus” Booker said he wouldn’t mind meeting with him to hear what Farrakhan had to say. Mind you, this is after he lambasted Joe Biden for saying that he used to have to negotiate with segregationists back in the 1970’s to get things done. I guess being anti-Semitic is not the same as being a racist.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t saying much of anything but he is sure to get torn up in the debates. He had to go back to South Bend, Indiana, where he is mayor, because of an officer involved shooting of a black man. He had a town hall event to try to calm the racial tension. It didn’t go well for him:

He looked weak and uncertain. Not a good look for a man who wants to hold the most powerful position in the world. He asked the government to do a special investigation of the police and the shooting. So not only did he piss off the black people but now he pissed off law enforcement and those who support him. This guy can’t even run South Bend, how in the heck is he going to run the country.

The debates are going to be an absolute riot! I think we’re just seeing the tip of crazy. Can’t wait to see what is going to be promised.

 

Speaking of Crazy

Jussie Smollett really ticked off the Chicago Police Department.

This week, along with all of the other evidence against him, they released the body cam video from the officers who first met Smollett after his “attack”. You remember the attack? The one where he paid two of his buddies to rough him up, put a noose around his head while yelling “this is MAGA country” while wearing red hats. Take a look at the video.

I thought him getting attacked at 2:30 in the morning while getting a Subway sandwich by two white guys who loved Trump in Chicago was dumb enough. There are no Trump supporters in Chicago. But this video is so ridiculous I had to show it off.

Pulling Art Out of His Butt!

It was kind of a slow news weekend. Trump did get that big tariff victory against Mexico. It looks like not a lot was actually agreed upon. But we’ll get into that. It looks like Joe Biden came out of hiding, screwed up a couple of times then went back into hiding. I think he’s done. And let’s go over a couple of dumb stories.

 

Trump’s Big Win

Trump threatened Mexico with a 5% tariff if they did not do something to prevent Central Americans from crossing Mexico and crossing into the United States. Three things were agreed upon to end the threat. The first is that Mexico agreed to send 6000 National Guard troops to their southern border. Next, Mexico agreed to allow migrants apply for asylum in Mexico, not travel 3000 miles and apply in the United States. This complies with international law. Finally, the United States has the ability, accepted by Mexico, to send Central Americans back to Mexico when they are caught, letting those people being subject to Mexican immigration laws.

That’s it. Nothing more. But it’s huge for combating the illegal immigration. And it’s a huge victory for Donald Trump.

Of course, the media can’t let that happen. The first thing they started yelling about is what little was done in the agreement. There are only a few agreements with this deal. But, as we’ll see soon, they’re pretty big. Of course, that wasn’t enough. The media had to find something that made this victory sound far more irrelevant. So the media, based on very iffy sources, said that Trump had made this deal months ago and was only announcing it now because he wanted a victory of some type on the border. I guess a booming economy, ISIS being destroyed and record low unemployment while working within the most obstructive congress in history isn’t enough victories in his first two years.

But, the reality is, Trump took a risk. A risk that would either lead him to implement another set of tariffs against a very important trading partner or be embarrassed by letting Mexico call his bluff. Here’s the thing, Trump has one chance to win in 2020. And that s to not get crazy, the democrats will do that, and keep this booming economy going. The Left is doing everything they can to ruin this country all because they hate Trump. The border is a huge mess. The Left won’t do anything. Every time Trump comes up with an idea, the Left it takes it to the courts and it is suspended. Congress will not create news laws to settle the problem. In fact, the Left wants more illegal aliens in the country. They think it will give them more votes.

This was a big victory for Trump. A victory that the Left cannot counter. Illegals now must go through the asylum process in Mexico now. Since there is nothing happening in Guatemala or Honduras, these people will not have any reason to be kept in Mexico. They will be deported, hopefully, not getting near the United States. That’s win number one. Six thousand Mexican troops are now patrolling the border. It is going to get tougher for Central Americans to cross the Mexican border. That’s win number two. Finally, the Mexican government agrees that it is not the problem of the United States that Mexico did not secure its borders and followed international law.  If a Guatemalan crosses the border, it is Mexico’s fault. They know it. And we should send them back to Mexico. They acknowledge that.

Trump used the power of the United States economy to scare the Mexicans into acknowledging they were not following the laws. Good for him.

 

Lunch Pail Joe Is At It Again

Sleepy, creepy Joe Biden is doing his damnedest to lose this election.

Last week, he decided to flip, then flop, then flip, then finally flopped. There’s nothing that shows more presidential aptitude than not taking a position. This whole thing was started when he was questioned about the Hyde Amendment. That amendment simply states that the federal government cannot fund abortions. He was the head of the committee who pushed the bill in 1976 and has supported it all the way until June 6, 2019. He was asked about it by a Left wing outlet and he said that the times have changed so he didn’t support it anymore. Someone, who was more moderate, asked his the same question and he said he was for the amendment. Then, once again, he was asked the same question by a Left wing outlet and he said he was against the amendment.

This is going to be Joe Biden’s biggest problem. He’s not in touch with the little guy like he tries to prove with his “Lunch Pail Joe” moniker. He’s been a politician for, going on, 50 years. He’s not a regular guy. He’s a politician. And, seeing the flip-flopping and the fact that he is hiding from the world right now, shows he’s a liar and a panderer. He knows if he’s ever asked a question. he’ll screw it up and create one of his infamous flubs that are flooding the Internet.

This is not going to help his presidential chances and he may already be on the way out. Oh, but there’s more!

He released, well I don’t know if he did it but it was released under his account, this Tweet today:

Oh… My… God! This is pandering at it’s worst. It is embarrassing. This is a dog-whistle. What this Tweet is actually saying is:

Bro, where are you? #Wtf I need your support #PleaseHelpMe #PrettyPlease #GettingMyAssKicked #PleaseRetweetThis

Jo Biden knows where he stands. He has lost 7 points in the last week. He’s stayed out of the limelight because he knows he’s a gaff machine. The first time he stepped out into the public he gaffed. He can’t win this without Obama’s support. He’s weak and he’s only only going down hill. Much of the media is saying that his best day was his first. That includes the main stream media. It’s looking like they’re all right. His campaign is done.

What’s weird, we didn’t even talk about the fact he was caught plagiarizing again. Not to mention, he’s got, like, five years on Yoda. He’s old.

Biden is done.

 

Just Stupid

I was going to talk about California and their legalizing health care for illegal aliens. This is a state that has a high unemployment rate, a high tax rate, and a huge homelessness problem. We have banned straws and plastic bags. Car fuel is $1.50 more than any other state.

But, hey, let’s give illegal aliens access to full health. At a cost of one hundred million dollars a year. Yeah, good luck with that. Way to f-up an awesome state.

But the dumbest story also comes from California. San Francisco to be exact.

A 17-year-old kid decided to play a joke at San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art. TJ Khayatan decided to lay a pair of glasses on the museum floor and then stare at it, acting as if he was pondering. He has done this before, he said. Last time he did it, he stared at a baseball cap that was sitting on a trash can.

Sure enough, people started looking at the “artwork” and taking pictures. Khayatan was inspired to pull off the prank when he saw an piece of art that was simply a stuffed animal on a blanket.

The prank was not intended to be malicious and he does not see modern art as a “dumbing down” of culture.  He tells Buzzfeed, “I can agree that modern art can be a joke sometimes, but art is a way to express our own creativity. Some may interpret it as a joke, some might find great spiritual meaning in it. At the end of the day, I see it as a pleasure for open-minded people and imaginative minds.”

To their credit, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art took the joke in stride and thought it was clever.

The Clash of Imbeciles

Trump asserts executive privilege over the Mueller Report while William Barr gets held in contempt. Some of Trump’s tax returns get released and, for some reason, the media is surprised. And the most important story of the week that has been virtually ignore.

William Barr in Contempt

The stupid continues. I guess there must not be anything else happening in the world or in this country.

Oh, yeah. There is. But we are still going to focus on the non-crime.

Last week, Attorney General William Barr refused to testify in front of the House Judiciary committee last week over the format of the interview. Rep. Nadler (D.-NY), the chair, then requested the Mueller Report fully un-redacted. That includes Grand Jury testimony, information hidden for national security and information to protect witnesses. In all, less than 10% of the report was redacted.

Of course Barr is not going to do that. He can’t. What was redacted is required to be redacted by law. But that did not stop Nadler for threatening Barr with a Contempt of Congress charge. Barr went to Trump and requested he assert Executive Privilege to block Congress’ attempt to find Barr in contempt. And that’s what Trump did this morning.

But that didn’t stop Congress. The Judiciary Committee voted to find Barr in contempt. It will now go to the rest of Congress where the Democrats have a majority.

So what does this mean? Executive Privilege is actually a very vague term. That’s why it is not used very often. Basically, it protects the President in a few ways. Attorney client privilege and state secrets fall under the act. Also, conversations between advisers and foreign countries is protected. But we really don’t know if this is protected because we don’t know what is in the redacted portions of the report.

It is also unclear what will happen with the contempt charge. Barr never lied and the redactions were not done on his own or with the President. Mueller and Rosenstein, no fans of the President, had input on what was to be redacted. So did the FBI, CIA and other agencies. The redactions are legitimate.

This whole thing is going to end up in court. And it is a waste of time and money. There’s nothing going to be in the hidden material that is going to change the overall findings in the report. Dems are just wasting time because they have no other leads to impeachment.

But they are doing exactly what everyone thought they would do: Finding any way to keep the narrative alive. Listen, Trump wasn’t perfect. There’s a lot of embarrassing stuff in that report. But Barr didn’t hide anything except what was mandated by the law.

Absolutely nothing is going to come of this.

The Leaks Continue

I’m not sure what’s worse: the fact that Donald Trump lost a lot of money in the 1980s or that the media is so contemptible that they violate the privacy of another American citizen.

The New York Times released an article, declaring that they had the 1040 tax returns of Donald Trump from the year 1985 to 1994. In those tax returns, Trumps businesses had lost $1.7 billion in that decade. The media is absolutely amazed by this. And they are really being vicious about it.

This reaction from the media is probably half the reason Trump doesn’t want to and shouldn’t release his tax records. No matter what is in them, he is going to get blasted. If he makes money, he is part of the 1% and a bad man and shouldn’t be President. If he loses money, which is what we have here, he is incompetent and shouldn’t be President. If he is not worth as much as people thing, the media will just make fun of him. It’s a no win situation.

The media and the democrats keep saying they want to see his tax records because they want to make sure he has not done anything illegal, mind you, without any evidence. Of course, that is a stupid reason to want to see them. It is not the job of Congress to see if Trump broke any laws. That’s the job of the IRS. And Trump has been in business since the 1970s and has never been in trouble with the IRS. So all this is is a way for Democrats to look for more dirt so they can dig up another reason for impeachment.

I’m also a little surprised by everyone being shocked that Trump lost money in the 1980s and 90s. I knew that he lost a lot of money throughout his career. He went bankrupt four times. Everyone knew this. Trump, himself, said he had lost a lot of money. This was all public record. But he media and the Democrats act like this is some big huge surprise. His financial distresses were the reason I did not vote for him in 2016. I was sure his cowboy-style business sense would translate well when running our economy.

I really don’t care if Trump releases his taxes. I don’t think it would be a bad thing because it would be nice to know as much as possible about the country’s President. But I would vote for him in 2020 anyway. I think the reason that Trump is not releasing his tax records is, not because he is doing anything shady, but because of ego. I have a feeling he is not as rich as he makes himself to be. That’s important to Trump. It’s part of the image he has tried to establish for decades.

But I don’t blame him for not releasing them. Look at the mockery he received with the little information.

The Real Story of the Week

It looks like the trade war with China is picking up steam.

The President raised existing tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25% percent across the board, up from 10% in most cases, and began the process of placing 25% tariffs on a further $325 billion worth of goods. The idea is to even the playing field with China, which has taken advantage of our current trade deals.

For the last couple of days, the Chinese and United States have been negotiating a way to end the trade war. Some assume that the new round of tariffs are to force the Chinese to work harder during the negotiating. But, if that’s the case, it backfired. Chine responded by saying they “deeply regret” the U.S. move and would respond.

President Trump went to Twitter to give his two cents:

So, apparently, Trump is not afraid of going to the mattresses with China. And I can see why. China’s economy is not as strong as ours by any stretch of the imagination. When the United States struggled during the Great Recession at the end of the George Bush term in 2009, China economy fell into a depression. See, the United States is the biggest importer from China. When we are in recession, their economy suffers exponentially. Trump’s thought is, if we use tariffs, we will raise prices on Chinese products, forcing U.S. business and citizens to buy American. This could work but there are still some risks.

First off, tariffs are not as great as President Trump makes them sound. In fact, one could say they are just a tax on all except the industry that it benefits. Let me give you an example. I own a business that builds widgets. Each widget needs a pound of steel. The United States sells steel for $10 a pound but China sells it for $5 a pound. Trump puts a tariff, raising Chinese steel to $15 a pound. Now I have a choice. Do I pay $10 a pound and pass the extra cost onto those who buy my widgets or do I move my factory to Mexico where there are no tariffs and I can get my steel for $5 a pound? Harley Davidson was faced with the same issue. When Trump put a tariff on steel from Canada, Mexico and the EU, Harley Davidson moved their factory to Europe. And Trump was pissed.

The other problem is that China owns 28% of our nation debt, which is never a good thing. We owe China $4.01 trillion of our $22 trillion. That’s a mighty chunk of change. I’d be a little wary to tick off the country that we owe so much money to.

I would rather see Trump fix us instead of attacking China. We need to make our industry stronger and more competitive. First, kill unions. Unions are driving wages way above the value of the work being done and the additional costs are being passed on to the customer. Unions had their place when kids were losing their hand in machines but they have lost their value and have become too powerful.

Next, lower taxes on manufacturers. The less that manufacturers have to pay in taxes, the less it costs to make the product. That leads to reinvestment into the company which leads to jobs. It also lowers the cost of the product. With that, ease unnecessary regulations. Regulations cost businesses money to maintain compliance and some of the things they have to do are really unnecessary.

Along the lines of regulation, let the business control the cost of their labor. Raising minimum wage is a terrible idea. One philosophy of economics I learned in college is that, in a free market system, the worker cannot work for what they’re worth. I can’t remember who said that. But the idea is business will pay a worker a fair wage, which is based on the market. If a business tries to underpay their workers, they will either get a lower quality worker or no workers at all. It’s in the business’ best interest to pay an employee a fair wage. Government shouldn’t be making this determination.

Finally, the United States need to control the debt. And, by that, I mean our real debt. I mentioned this before, but our debt is actually in the vicinity of between $70 and $80 trillion. That’s due to college debt, social security medicare and other expenses. How do we control our debt? Stop spending, especially on programs that just hand money to people. It’s stupid and we will pay for it in the future. I’d hate to see us end up like Greece one day.

Well that was far more on the trade war with China than I thought I would actually right. But it is an important issue.

The Bad and the Stupid

Israel and Hamas declare a cease fire after Hamas launches a huge missile attack. The United States sends an aircraft carrier to the Middle East. Venezuela mulls asking for military support from the United States. And the Left continues to have their priorities all lined up.

Cease Fire Declared

This weekend, brutal fighting has occurred between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas. In all, Hamas fired 640 missiles, 320 hitting their targets. Four Israelis were killed.

In response, Israel continued it’s policy of “targeted killing” of militant leaders and launched attacks on hundred of targets. It was reported that 24 Palestinians were killed including civilians. One killed was a terrorist who transferred money between the terrorists and Iran.

Egyptian mediators finally negotiated a cease fire between Hamas and Israel. Many Israelis are not happy about this. They believe any cease fire just allows Hamas to recover and regroup. Many believe not enough is being done to eradicate Hamas and other terrorist organizations within the Gaza Strip.

Benjamin Netanyahu refused to confirm the cease fire and has said that operations are ongoing saying, “The campaign is not over and requires patience. We are preparing to continue.”

Israel has been under constant attack by these animals on the Gaza Strip. Of course the media and the Left put the blame squarely on Israel. Israel did not start this weekends violence and their response, though massive, targeted terrorists and their infrastructure including bases, communication centers and weapon depots.

The Palestinians made it clear that a bunch of civilians were killed including two pregnant women, two babies and a toddler. I kind of doubt that. Hamas has been saying that Israel has been killing innocents for years. They do that to stir sympathy from the West. And it works. Especially the the anti-Semitic members of Congress. Look at what the genius Ilhan Omar said:

As usual, she forgot to mention that the Palestinians started it by lobbing nearly 700 missiles this weekend. But she hates Israel and all Jews, so her reaction is hardly surprising. Then there is this genius, Rashida Talib:

Well, I’ll answer her first question: When Hamas decides to get out of the Gaza Strip. The reality is it is Hamas that is suppressing the Palestinians, not the Israelis. In fact, Muslims in Israel are treated with respect and have the same freedoms that the Jewish population has. So this is a stupid statement.

We’ll have to see what happens over the next few days and see if this cease fire holds. But Israel has the right to defend itself and I think they have showed great restraint.

Speak Quietly and Carry a Big Stick

The U.S. is sending an aircraft carrier strike group and bomber task force to the Middle East because of intelligence information about Iran planning attacks on U.S. interests and forces in the area.

The National Security Adviser, John Bolton said the deployments are meant to, “send a clear unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on the United States interests or those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.”

The force was already being deployed to the area but the deployment was being expedited.

So that’s awesome. But, at least, we have an administration who will confront terror threats with the threat of force. Iran is run by a bunch of cowards. They won’t face the United States directly. You know why? Because they’d get their butts kick and they know it. So, like a fly to a gorilla, the buzz around and annoy us. They perform cowardly terror attacks with their weak-minded followers. The wage war through other countries like they are doing on the Gaza Strip and in Yemen. They are a terrible country that wants to rule the world.

That’s what make Talib’s and Omar’s Tweets so galling. They keep telling us the United States is the terror state while ignoring the actions and continually supporting regimes like these. Well, the President doesn’t give a damn what they think. He hardly even acknowledges the opinions of these idiots.

In the end, we need condemn and show our power. The United States does not have a lot of friends, especially within the country itself. Heck, we have politicians who run with the promise to make the country better but, in the next breath, say they hate it or have allegiances to other countries. It’s good to see that this country is taking a stand against all that threaten our well-being.

Venezuela

Last week, the people of Venezuela, headed by the president-elect Juan Guaido, started their quest for overthrowing the evil socialist dictator,
Nicolás Maduro. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the street to take back their government.

Guaido, who is seen as the legitimate president by over 50 countries including the United States, was backed further by some defections from the military and Maduro’s government. According to the U.S., Maduro was ready to leave to country for Cuba but was convinced to stay by Vladimir Putin.

This is going to be a very dangerous time for Guaido and other dissidents. Though there were some defections, there were not a lot. Guaido needs the help of the military since the population has been disarmed by the Chavez regime. His people are going up against armed soldiers and tanks. If this uprising fails to be successful, they never have another chance again. Guaido must know this because he has requested military assistance from the United States.

Though all options are on the table for how to help Guaido, the administration has always been a little gun shy when it comes to using the military. Wars may be popular when they start but people get tired of dealing with if the war goes on for too long. Also, whenever we enter a war it always ends up being our responsibility to clean up the mess. That includes helping the country rebuild the government, infrastructure and military. We are at $22 trillion in debt and really can’t afford the extra expenses. Another problem is Juan Guaido himself. He’s to a right wing capitalist. He’s also a socialist. I’m not sure replacing a socialist dictator with another socialist is a recipe for going through this whole thing again in another ten years.

There are reasons to to help, though. The first is the humanitarian crisis down there. People are dying of sickness, starvation and crime. The average Venezuelan has lost 24 pounds. Maduro is also dealing with other Evil regimes like Cuba, Russia and Iran. We should not want those countries involved with any country within the hemisphere. Finally, Venezuela was a rich country until Hugo Chavez got his claws into it. Helping that country could be very good for trade. That is, if we can stomach a socialist as president.

But, only time will tell. The uprising has been going for a week. People have died. Maduro is in hiding. And the people keep filling the streets.

Mueller Report

So, we have Israel being bombed, Iran threatening us to the point of sending the military and people in Venezuela, apparently sick of eating dogs, have decided to overthrow the illegitimate socialist dictator.

So what are we talking about here? Take a look:
h

Thanks to Foxnews!

This is such an unnecessary story and the Dems behavior has just become asinine. I have been avoiding this whole thing because it is just so stupid. Hell, I’m not even going to waste a lot of time on it now. Here’s the story in only a few lines.

  1. Mueller got more than two years investigating Trump.
  2. Mueller have the report to Attorney General William Barr.
  3. Barr wrote a four page summary. He asked Mueller to read it and Mueller said, “No”.
  4. Mueller wrote a letter saying he wanted Barr to release the two executive summaries from the report. Barr said, “No,” because he was going to release the entire report.
  5. Barr read his summary.
  6. Two weeks later, Barr releases the report with less than 10% redaction. He leaves an un-redacted report with Congress (no one read it).
  7. He appears in front of Congress and the Dems accuse him of lying and not being transparent.
  8. Now, he’s being threatened with jail.

What the hell?? This has been the most transparent process in political history. How was he lying about his summary or about the Mueller letter if he released the report? How is he a lackey for a guilty President if he released the report? How is covering up the guilt of the President when he… wait for it… released the report?!

This is just stupid. I mean, a congressman showed up with a glass chicken and a bucket of KFC as a metaphor that Barr is scared to be interviewed by the House. Look at this:

What a frigging joke. If it weren’t for the fact they could damage the fantastic and honorable career of a two-time Attorney General, I’d laugh.

Listen, this whole thing is just deflection. The Left is in trouble. Trump was spied on. The FBI showed political bias during the Trump and Clinton investigation and he’s investigating it. The FISA court is being investigated. That means the Obama White House probably started the investigation. Of course we’ll know next month when the Horowitz investigation is completed. Pretty sure that report will be release too.

That’s all I have to say about that. This is real Deep State crap.

Senseless

Another senseless shooting at a synagogue on the last day of Passover in Poway, California. Attorney General William Barr might refuse to testify in front of Congress while the Left cannot get away from their dead narrative. And a sad, heroic story that should inspire all of us to be more selfless.

Chabad of Poway

A man entered the Chabad of Poway on Saturday as the congregation was celebrating the last day of Password. The man, who I will not identify because he deserves to be forgotten, walked into the synagogue at about 11:30 AM and started cursing and firing with a rifle. One woman was killed and three were injured.

The suspect was a nineteen year old man. He had a history of racist behavior and had threatened. Reportedly, he had said on 8chan, an alt-Right website, that he wanted to live stream a mass shooting like the nutjob at Christchurch in New Zealand. He is also being looked at as a suspect at another synagogue. There, someone attempted to burn down that synagogue. It is nine miles from Chabad of Poway.

The shooter was confronted by an unarmed war vet, Oscar Stewart, dropping his gun and running out of the synagogue. Stewart continued to chase but the shooter locked himself in his car. Stewart continue pounding on the car, trying to get in when the shooter grabbed another rifle. At this point, an off-duty border patrol agent was given a gun and yelled for Stewart to get down. He started shooting at the car.

The shooter drove away. But as he was driving, a police officer, called to the scene, recognized the suspects car and pulled him over. The suspect got out of the car, hands in the air, and surrendered peacefully.

I hate to get political but I’m going to anyway. The reason I am going to politicize this because it shouldn’t be politicized at all. People always take a tragedy, from both sides of the aisle, take the tragedy and make it part of their narrative. The Left will say this proves that we need gun control and that we are a country of white supremacy. The Right will point to the armed border patrol agent and say that guns prevented more deaths. Those are narratives. They twist facts. And, you know what, they don’t bring back the dead person.

What should be done here is mourning the fact that places of worship now have to worry about being vulnerable to attack. We should be mourning the dead woman and praying for the injured. We should be celebrating Oscar Stewart and the unidentified Border Patrol agents for the heroes they are. Without them, this could have been a lot worse.

But what really pisses me off is the initial reactions of our “fresh faces” in congress. The irony is almost intolerable. Let’s take a look from the Tweet from Ilhan Omar:

That’s rich! This woman couldn’t care less about those people being attacked. She hates Jews and is very sympathetic to to terrorists. She does not see a difference between Al-Qaeda and the U.S. military. She refers to the biggest radical Islamist attack on U.S. soil as “some people did some things.” She says the Jews have mesmerized the world. She thinks the Jews are buying political allies. Oh, there’s more. She’s a terrible human being and hates Jews. Period.

Then there was the intellectual democratic socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She had no trouble Tweeting this:

She’s disgusting for a few reasons. Again, she doesn’t give a damn that someone was killed. She’s just happy it was a white supremacist that did it. If she really gave a damn about peace and human life, she would have said something about the Muslim terrorists that killed over 300 Christians on Easter in Sri Lanka.

But she goes for more than the love and peace BS. She brings up the HR8 bill. That’s the bill the requires background checks for all gun sales. It’s a worthless bill. There are universal background checks! She’s bringing this crap up before we even know what weapon he used or how he got it. But details aren’t important. And she’ll spin them if they do not turn out to meet her narrative.

I just wish this stuff would stop happening.

Will This Thing Just Go Away?

The Senate Democrats and Bill Barr are going at it again.

Barr is supposed to testify in front of congress on Thursday. About what who knows? Barr said he would honor the request even though he has nothing factual he can even testify about. But Jerry Nadler, the Dem that really wants to impeach Trump, decided to throw a curve ball and wants to change the format of the interview. Instead of the congresspeople asking questions of Barr, Nadler wants to allow the support staff from the congressmen to be able to ask questions of Barr, not just the congressmen themselves.

Now, this is not wholly unprecedented. You will remember the the Republicans hired a prosecuting attorney to interview Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Matt Kavanaugh of rape. They did this because she would know how to interview a victim and would have the expertise to determine Kavanaugh’s innocence or guilt.

But things are different here. Barr does not want to have a bunch of lawyers interview him and said he would not show up if Nadler’s format is used.

But this is more than just another investigation. This just shows how much the Left cannot let this whole thing go. Collusion has been the narrative for over two years and, in just a week, it has been destroyed. But the Left does not have any new narrative and have not clue where to go with this. So they keep this up. The narrative of collusion and obstruction is still alive and well and it is still being used as an excuse for impeachment.

Listen to Adam Schiff while being interviewed on the Bill Maher show:

There are two parts to this interview that are important to point out. First, everything Schiff said was wrong. The Trump campaign had nothing to do with Russia. They even put sanctions on Russia when it was confirmed that Russia did hack and try to influence the elections. They did not “build” the Russian influence into the campaign, lie, cover up or obstruct. It’s in the report. Schiff is changing what is in the report to keep his narrative alive (albeit on life support).

But what’s interesting is what he leaves out. When all this stuff was supposedly happening, President Trump was not elected! All this that was supposedly done was while Obama was the President. Trump had no power to control anything. It was the Obama administration that did not do anything until Hilary lost the election.

But that’s not the real story here and Democrats don’t realize that Maher’s opinion is the opinion of most American’s including Democrats and Independents. People got the answers and want to move on. Now, it just looks like Trump is being harassed and “stalked”. It’s going to be a real turn off for regular voters. Because, here’s the reality: The far Left is a minority still. They are not going to be the majority by the next election or even the election after. Though they want impeachment, collusion and obstruction to be the narrative, most people from both sides don’t. We got Mueller’s report, we got the answers and people want to move on.

This stuff ain’t going to play well for the Democrats in 2020 if they try keeping all this up for the next year and a half. Let’s hope they do!

Heartbreaking

Dana Scatton and her newborn baby, Aries.

This is a sad story but one that must be celebrated. There is so much cynicism and narcissism is the world today that when we see an act of selflessness even when that person faces death.

Dana Scatton was 17 years old and pregnant. She belongs to a Christian family so abortion was not an option. Seven months into her pregnancy, it was discovered she had a cancerous brain tumor. The tumor was, most likely, terminal. She was given the option to extend her life by going through radiation. But she refused because the treatment would, most likely, harm her baby.

In January, a few days before her 18th birthday, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl name Aries.

Dana died today. Her family left the following post on Facebook:

This morning shortly before 4am, Dana left us to be with the lord.
We may never have the right things to say to truly honor the amazing,
smart, loving, caring, passionate, incredibly beautiful and free spirited mother, daughter, niece, sister, cousin, friend and independent woman Dana was every day.
(She) inspired us all to be better than who we are and to keep God in our focus at every moment
She faced the greatest fear of all, death, and smiled back with a grin only God can instill. She fought harder than the toughest warriors known to man and did it with grace and valor.

The post ended the Dana’s favorite Biblical quote from Isiah 41:10:

So do not fear, for I am your God;

Do not be dismayed, for I am with you,

I will strengthen you and help you;

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

This is a very sad story. But it is also a very happy one. Her strength and courage guaranteed that her memory to live on through the life of that beautiful little girl.
