Independence Day!
The fireworks lit the sky!
The Media flips!
The Speech
On Friday, Trump held an Independence Day. It was a great speech. It was prepared for him, which usually makes him look really good, albeit dry,
It was an “America is about God, baseball, family and apple pie speech.” It was, quite possibly, the best speech he has given. And he has given a few.
The speech was positive, celebrating our history and our growth (though he did not focus on the historical details so much). Here is the speech:
He had several themes throughout the speech:
He celebrated our philosophies: moral reason and reason.
He celebrated our history and said he would not permit the Left to destroy our monuments.
He bashed social justice and cancel culture.
He talked about the protection of America and its citizens from enemies, foreign and domestics.
He emphasized the growth of America, including Civil Rights.
He talked about the great personalities in history, the great cities in America and the accomplishments throughout history.
His conclusion, we must remember this country’s history. He said he is going to create a new monument that will have a statue to the greatest people in American history.
It was a great speech. Very positive. It was the kind of speech that made one proud of being an American and look forward to the wonders of our future achievements.
The Media
Darkness! Despair! Racial division!
Basically, the media has decided to lie about the speech. It was too good. There was nothing they could say if they looked at the speech so the media took cuts out of it and read into those quotes. Here are some headlines about the speech:
Trump Fuels Culture Wars from Mt. Rushmore – New York Times
Trump Fuels Racial Division at Mt. Rushmore Speech – Time Manazine
Trump’s Mt. Rushmore Speech Just as Terrifyingly Bonkers as You’d Expect – Esquire Magazine
Eye Opener: Trump Makes Divisive Speech at Mt. Rushmore – CBS News
This speech was far from Divisive or bonkers or what ever. Well, unless you think America is a great place with a great history. But the funniest, most “unbiased” view of the speech from Chris Cillizza of CNN. Let’s read some of it.
Listen, Trump says a lot of dump stuff. And there has not been a shortage of dumb things Trump has said or Tweeted over the last few weeks. But this speech was not one of them. It was a great speech. I tell you, Trump could cure cancer and CNN would find a good reason for cancer.
The People
The people have had enough. Nothing was going to stop them from celebrating Independence Day this year. Not COVID-19, political injustice or Anftifa was going to stop us.
California decided to, basically, cancel Independence Day. There were going to be no organized fireworks displays, personal fireworks are illegal and they have decided to close the beaches throughout California.
Guess what? People had enough. The beaches were packed, though social distancing was being followed. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department declared they would not be enforcing any of the beach closures.
But, one of the most amazing sites I have seen was while driving through Los Angeles. The sky was lit with illegal, private fireworks.
It was the most amazing fireworks display I had ever seen. It made Los Angeles sound like a war zone.
Are you seeing what I am seeing? Are people sick and tired of being told what they can not do without any explanation or plan to let us be free. We are not China or Russia. There better be an excuse or timeline and it better make sense or people will just do what they want, the law be damned.
Let’s look at Gil Garcetti, the crappy mayor from Los Angeles. He decided to close beached from July 3rd to July 6th. That’s right, he closed the beaches only during the holiday weekend, essentially ruining the holiday for thousands of families during the hot and sticky holiday. His move appeared so obvious, even law enforcement was not going to enforce the law. Heck, law enforcement was not allowed to stop looters from destroying business and running wild on the streets, why enforce a law where people are just doing something fun on the most important national holiday of the year?
News media lies.
Google takes the bait again.
Trump is attacking
Looking More Political by the Second
This Rayshard Brooks thing is going to get bad. I think that the DA of Fulton County, Paul Howard Jr., should probably recuse himself to try to save face.
Information has come out today that really puts a bad light on this case and Paul Howard:
Howard said that a taser is not a deadly weapon and is not justification for deadly force. But two weeks ago, Howard said that the use of a taser by police was using deadly force. He was referring to a incident where police used a taser on a violent woman during an arrest. In that case, which happened on June 2, he charged a police officer.
Howard said that Devin Brosnan, the other police officer on the scene that received a concussion and taser burns from the peaceful Brooks, has no intention of pleading guilty to any charge and no intention of testifying for the state against Officer Rolfe. He said that in front of his client and Brosnan appeared with a battered face.
Finally, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI for short) said they are still continuing their investigation and have not come up with a determination. They also said that Howard never consulted them with his findings and the charges.
Oops.
What’s also coming out is the life of Rayshard Brooks. And he’s not the jovial loving guy Howard is making him out to be.
He blew a .108 in his test. That’s over the drunk driving limit.
The charges to which Brooks pleaded guilty and for which he was still on probation dated back to August 2014.
He was convicted on four counts – False Imprisonment, Simple Battery/Family, Battery Simple and Felony Cruelty/Cruelty to Children.
Brooks had not been in trouble since 2016 until last December when he went to Ohio without informing his probation officer – but the case was dismissed.
Not so jovial and nonviolent.
But Paul Howard has his own problems:
He has huge turmoil in the department he is running. According to his competitor for the DA position, he lost 115 lawyers in the last 2 years and his environment is toxic.
He is under investigation for sexual harassment by a member of the Human Resources department.
The GBI is investigating him for the disappearance of grant money that was sent to his department. That money has been alleged to have added to his salary.
He is currently looking at being primaried in the next election in November.
Does this look like a diversion to satisfy his voting base?
Google has threatened to ban the conservative news and opinion site The Federalist from profiting off online advertising through Google Ads for violating the tech giant’s conditions against “inappropriate content.”
NBC News first reported that Google had banned The Federalist and “far-right” website ZeroHedge for “advertising platform over policy violations found in the comments section of stories about recent Black Lives Matter protests.”
Google told the Daily Wire:
“To be clear, The Federalist is not currently demonetized. We do have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on, which includes comments on the site. This is a longstanding policy.”
Apparently, a spokesman had made the comment to NBC News which led to the story:
“We have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on and explicitly prohibit derogatory content that promotes hatred, intolerance, violence or discrimination based on race from monetizing. When a page or site violates our policies, we take action. In this case, we’ve removed both sites’ ability to monetize with Google.”
Google said this was not the case and walked back the comment. But, apparently, Google lied and had tagged The Federalist with hate content. The Federalist refused to comment.
This is not the first time that Google, and its subsidiaries such as YouTube, have been accused of targeting Conservative content. Steven Crowder of Louder with Crowder has continually had his content banned and demonetized due to hate speech while allowing far Left content such as Vox to continue, unabated.
Last month, two doctors had their content banned from YouTube because their medical opinions of the COVID-19 virus countered the World Health Organization, an organization that has been wrong about the virus from day one but is an avid supporter of the communist Chinese government (where the virus originated).
But Google is not the only social media company that has been targeting Conservatives. Twitter has been known to suspend Conservative Tweeters such as Candace Owens and James Woods. They also fact-check Donald Trump. Yet, Left wing pundants, who have said some pretty atrocious things without getting so much as a warning.
The problem is, as the election gets closer, the suspensions are getting more frequent and more obvious.
The Department of Justice is prepping legislation to roll back protections for big tech companies and make them more accountable for content posted on their sites.
The DOJ is expected to introduce a bill to Congress as soon as Wednesday targeting tech companies and social media platforms’ protections under Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Section 230 protects a wide variety of web services, platforms, and content providers from liability for outside content that passes through their servers. The law, passed in the early days of the internet, is a key legal protection for large social media platforms and internet search engines. Any change in the law’s protections could drastically affect the way those companies operate.
Essentially, these companies are going to be liable in the same way as newspapers that spread libelous material.
You know what a Haiku is? It’s a Japanese poem that is made up of three lines. The first and third line has five syllables and the second line has seven syllables. I started experimenting with them on Twitter a little. I thought this would be the perfect introduction for my podcasts. Let’s start today.
Murder caught on film.
Protests turn to wild mobs.
New narrative found.
Take it easy. I’ll get better.
A Tragic Death
A black man named George Floyd was arrested for handing out a fake $20 bill in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He was arrested by four Minneapolis police officers.
Supposedly, though there is no video of it, Floyd resisted and he was taken to the ground by a couple of officers. One of those officers was Derek Chauvin.
Video was taken of Chauvin with his knee on Floyd’s throat for close to eight minutes. What was very disturbing is Floyd was complaining he could not breathe, blood was coming out of his nose and it appeared that Chauvin had his entire body weight on Floyd’s throat.
Watch:
When Chauvin got off of Floyd, Floyd was unconscious and died a few hours later.
This video is horrid and what Chauvin did was terrible. I protect the police as much as I can but this was as bad as that cop in Chicago shooting an unarmed black kid in the back for being stoned.
The four officers were immediately fire. It was found that Chauvin had eighteen prior complaints placed on him during his nineteen year career.
Four days later, On Friday, Chauvin was arrested and charged with 3rd degree murder and manslaughter.
But people were not satisfied that it took so long. I hate to say this, but I don’t blame them.
Reaction
The reaction was as expected. Protests started rising up. At first, the protests were loud but peaceful. They showed up at the 3rd Precinct Minneapolis Police department.
As the night fell, the protesters became more aggressive, threatening the police station and setting off fireworks. But they were still peaceful.
Later that night, all Hell broke loose.
The protests turned into a riot. Stores were destroyed and all the products were stolen. This happened for three nights and reminded me of the L.A. riots in 1992 over the Rodney King arrest.
On Friday, Protests have broken loose in Minneapolis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Jose, New York and Washington D.C. by the White House. Secret Service is guarding the White House. The protests started quietly but have become violent as the sun went down.,
These protests prove Democrats have no leadership. When the protests turned to riots, they pulled the police back, letting businesses fend for themselves. As far as I’m concerned, this really justifies the Second Amendment. We obviously can’t trust the government to protect us from thugs.
Of course, President Trump weighed in on Twitter saying:
Twitter, under pressure from the Left and having an election that will probably re-elect Trump because Sleepy, Creepy Joe is incoherent, has decided to flag that Tweet as “glorifying violence:. Though it was a clumsily worded Tweet, which is a Trump thing, I hardly think it is “glorifying violence”.
But that’s another story I’m not going to get into tonight, though it is a huge story.
The Minneapolis mayor, Lefty Jacob Frey, made a speech and it was the typical Leftist speech. Blacks are dying every day et cetra.
But the real speech came from Andrea Jenkins, the transgender vice president of the Minneapolis City Council. And her/his start of his speech:
How…moving? The only thing I thought of was this is a man, not a woman. That and that he was 6’7″ and had an Adam’s apple the size of a bowling ball.
But let’s us get to the meat of her speech:
He’s a supporter of Jeremiah Wright, huh? If you don’t know who that guy is, he’s the “pastor” who Barrack Obama followed who is hugely antisemitic and was famous for saying, “It’s not God bless America. It’s God damn America.” Yeah, he’s a sweet guy.
So you can see where this guy is going.
This clip is a little long but you will get the idea where he’s coming from:
You get that? “We’ve been racist for four hundred years”? Really? I guess she forgot about the 500,000 people who died in the Civil War to end slavery.
“We feel there is a knee on out collective necks.” A telling statement.
We are a country of institutional racism? Really? I haven’t heard one person justify this killing. In fact, the white officer was arrested and charged with murder, The Department of Justice is investigating and the FBI is investigating. That doesn’t sound like institutional racism.
You can watch the entire press conference below:
Of course the media is doing their usual nang up job. Totally unbiased. Here’s Brooke Baldwin from CNN interviewing Andrea Jenkins and crying after hearing Jenkins singing Amazing Grace.
Hey, Brooke, the song wasn’t that moving.
Here’s Don Lemon from CNN, earning a couple hundred thousand a year and wearing a $2000 suit he didn’t have to pay for, bitching about how much danger he’s in because he’s black. Oh, yeah and he’s with blockhead, Chis Cuomo:
Do you know why I know everything he has said is absolute bullcrap?
He is a gay black man on a prime time show on CNN.
He has a six figure salary.
He’s worth $10 million dollars.
The Kaepernick thing is just stupid. Kapernick was protesting how terrible the United States is. He wore socks with pigs dressed like police. He is also worth about $100 million dollars. How afraid do you think he is to leave the house. I bet not very.
What people don’t understand is that Kapernick and Lemon are examples of why there is no systemic racism in the United States. They have profited from the system Just like Barrack Obama has.
Finally, blacks are not under siege. Blacks being killed by police is very rare. The fact that people can name the victims prove this. Shooting of blacks has gone down consistently since the Civil Acts bill was signed into law.
Do you know what race kills blacks more than cops? Other blacks. Look at Chicago.
Do you know what race gets killed by police shootings? White people. Do you know how Daniel Shaver is? Probably not because his shooting was never really reported. He was killed by police in a hotel while on the ground and begging not to be shot. And it was all recorded. He was white. Look it up.
Politicians
Of course, the Left wants to use this crisis to their advantage. And the news media just takes the ride and pushed their new (and old) agenda.
Let’s listen to Maxine Waters, the horrid member of congress from one of the poorest, black districts in Los Angeles:
If this woman could not drum up outrage, she wouldn’t have a job because her district, which she does not live in, would have voted her out decades ago. Now, she’ll run around, have speeches, blame Trump for everything, say how evil white people are and get elected for another twenty years.
She’s the woman who called the Los Angeles riots in 1992 an uprising. She’s just terrible.
Then there’s Sleepy Creepy Joe. Listen to his message. I mean, really listen:
Joe initially ran as a moderate. And looking at the other candidates, he was. But now, to get Bernie supporters and the rest of the Left, he feels he needs to pander further to the Left. And their goal is to change the United States socially and economically. They want to rid us of our rights and economy.
The only thing I like about his push to the Left is that he is alienating most of the country. I do believe the Left is a small population. It is growing but let’s just make sure that Trump wins the next election and hope that the younger generations figure things out.
Final Thoughts
Here are my thoughts over this whole thing.
What happened to George Floyd is horrid and the cop got what he deserved.
Though I don’t agree, I agree with the protests. If you’re pissed off, peaceful protest is a good thing.
The riots are not protests. These are not protesters. They are thugs and criminals and should not be celebrated.
The media is trying to create a new narrative and Leftist politicians are pushing it. That’s because Joe Biden is a garbage candidate. He’s now pandering like Hilary did in 2016. We saw how that worked out for her.
There is no institutional racism. Those that are screaming there is actually prove there isn’t.
There are bad people in the world and the United States has had its dark periods. But I don’t think this time is one of them.
Collectivism is evil.
We need the Second Amendment. The government will not protect you.
There IS Other News
Unfortunately, I have not covered all the news. And it was a big week. I will talk about it tomorrow. But I should, at least, mention it:
SpaceX combined with NASA launched the first people into space in ten years. A major accomplishment.
President Trump signs an Executive Order removing the protections given to social media because of the censorship of conservative voices on their platforms.
China is driving everyone batty. And the Left is destroying law and order.
Frigging Bats are Making Us All Batty
The coronavirus from Wuhan, China has killed 132 so far and those found with the virus are closing in on 10,000.
The city has been quarantined and the United States and other countries are contemplating stopping traveling to and from China.
So far, there have been five reported cases in the United States. All those infected were traveling in China. They have all be quarantined. No deaths have occurred.
A plane filled with Americans trying to escape the disease in China arrived in Riverside, California today. None tested positive for the disease but they will be held in quarantine for, at least, two weeks.
San Francisco has created a quarantine center at their airport for those who come here. They want to be able to handle anyone who is infected with the virus.
There is a shortage of surgical masks throughout the United States and China. Heck, I work in a free clinic and all the medical personnel are wearing them. When I asked if they knew those things didn’t really do anything, they nodded and kept doing their thing.
So, what is the coronavirus? Is it something we should worry about?
From wikipedia.com:
Coronavirusesare a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, the viruses cause respiratory infections which are typically mild including the common cold but rarer forms like SARS and MERS can be lethal. In cows and pigs they may cause diarrhea, while in chickens they can cause an upper respiratory disease. There are no vaccines or antiviral drugs that are approved for prevention or treatment.
The name “coronavirus” is derived from the Latincorona, meaning crown o rhalo, which refers to the characteristic appearance of the virus particles (virions): they have a fringe reminiscent of a royal crown or of the solar corona.
Do we have something worry about?
We panicked with bird flu. We panicked with SARS. But nobody in the United States died from those diseases. They got sick. And it sucked. But no one died.
A convicted child molester Joseph Matthew Smith (23) will be released from prison despite sexually abusing up to 15 children, including a 1-year-old. It seems that Smith — now Josie, he calls himself — has begun the process of “transitioning” into a “woman.”
Attorney general spokesman Lynn Hicks informs us that Smith’s hormone treatment render him less of a threat to offend again, thus justifying his release.
“A preliminary report prepared by the state’s expert, Dr. Jeffrey Davis, says Smith molested as many as 15 victims, ranging from ages 1 to 13, before being sentenced to prison in December 2015. The report found the likelihood of re-offending within five years of release exceeded 20% because victims were of both genders, and because Smith was under age 25 and never had a long-term relationship.
“Mr. Smith has not had an intimate relationship. His sexual encounters appear to have primarily involved molestation, including his own molestation by multiple perpetrators, or his victimization of others.”
Smith received transgender treatment for the last two years at Newton Correctional Facility and started using female pronouns.
Iowa AG spokesman Lynn Hicks says:
“We don’t believe we have evidence sufficient to prove Josie Smith has a significant chance of re-offending. Josie Smith will be subject to strict sex-offender reporting required of those who commit the crimes [they] did. [They’ll] be subject to supervision for the rest of [their] life.”
The report recommended Smith be confined at the Cherokee Civil Commitment Unit for Sex Offenders (CCUSO) in Cherokee for an indefinite period.
The question I have is: Has he served his time? Isn’t he in prison to, not only rehabilitate, but to be punished for his crimes?
What about the victims? Isn’t Iowa re-victimizing the victims by releasing him?
Finally, who the hell said that hormone treatment cures someone of being a deviant? This piece of filth molested boys and girls. Chemical castration has proven not to work.
I will take one more step. The fact that this guy wants to go from being a man to a woman just proves that he is still a deviant.
The Left in this country is beginning to dismantle law and order in this country. Let’s look at what they are doing:
Open borders and sanctuary cities.
Drug legalization.
Abortion even after the baby has been born (murder).
No more cash bail.
The demonetization of the police and the elimination of ICE.
The embrace of terrorist groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
There is also this embrace of intersectionality and wokeness push this crap. Basically, this Hicks chick believes that he is a victim because he is a person of color and transsexual. Not because he victimized people.
In the past few weeks, I have heard some very scary statements by the Left. We are going to talk about socialism and communism, true tyranny. And I’m going to play those video clips. I’m also going to bring up some books, especially Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. This is a very important book. I am actually thinking of modernizing this book though I don’t think it needs any modernization.
We are heading in that direction. And it’s scaring the hell out of me.
The primaries are today and this could be Bernie’s death knell. I’ll be watching the primaries as I record and give you updates as they come in. The stock market is going off the rails and Trump has a plan to keep the economy on track. The corona virus is keeping everyone on their toes while the media continues to blame the President. And Alabama does the right thing!
The Primaries
This is being called Super Tuesday 2.0. There are 352 delegates up for grabs from states including Michigan. Washington, North Dakota, Mississippi, Missouri, Idaho,
Bernie is way down. He is down by 25 points in Michigan which has the majority of the delegates. This is the end of Bernie.
And Bernie can’t stay out of his own way. He is still promoting socialism. He still is promoting these hugely expensive programs without providing any way to pay for them and he is still defending tyrants like the President of China and Cuba’s Castro.
And he did this on a Town Hall hosted by Fox News. Incredible. He’s done and can expect to get thoroughly defeated tonight paving the way for a Biden nomination.
Biden will win because he’s decided to run on a moderate position. He’s going to bring sanity and calm to the White House.
Here’s the problem with that: Biden isn’t sane or calm. He got into a fight with a Michigan auto worker in Michigan, in a state he needs to win, over the Second Amendment. It’s hard to hear but, let’s just say, there was a lot of cussing. Listen:
There are a couple of problems with this:
This is a union worker and you’re challenging and cussing at him. Does that sound like a good idea?
You’re telling your staff, who is trying to protect you, to shush. Good idea?
He is against the Second Amendment. He is going to have Beto O’Rourke run the gun control program. Robert said he wanted police to smash in doors to take away our guns.
It is illegal to have a magazine that hold 100 rounds.That leads to:
The Second Amendment is NOT ABOUT hunting. It’s about protecting out rights from a tyrannical government. And that type of government is growing in this country.
There is no such thing as an AR-14.
And AR-15s are not machine guns!
This guy is dangerous for Trump. I can see Trump losing which is why it is important for Trump to shut up.
Joe Biden blows out the competition on Saturday paving the way to a hot Super Tuesday. Last week, Senate Democrats proved they are what we knew they were. Bernie Sanders is, not only be a communist, but kind of a perv. Pretty much proving my previous statement. And the coronavirus hits the United States hard.
Sleepy, Creepy Joe Finds Gold
Joe Biden has destroyed the field in the South Carolina, beating Bernie Sanders by 30%.
These numbers are soft numbers since everything isn’t in but the results are pretty solid:
Sleepy, Creepy Joe – 48.4%
Comrade Sanders – 19.9%
Tom Steyer – 11.3%
Mayor Pete – 8.2%
Chief Elizabeth – 7.1%
Amy Klobachar – 3.1%
And who cares about everyone else?
So this was a big deal for Biden. He needed to win and win big and will end up with close to all of the 54 delegates.
This also makes the contest interesting. Candidates are going to have to make some decisions, or just be the sociopaths they really are and continue doing their thing, though it will go nowhere, and stay in the race.
So here are some things that may really affect the race.
Michael Bloomberg doesn’t have any fire. He’s not going anywhere. Bloomberg is a moderate. So is Biden. If Bloomberg wants Biden to have any chance and doesn’t want Bernie to win the nomination, Then he should pull out now and put his full backing on Joe Biden. Bloomberg will be on the ballot for Super Tuesday, but if he fully backs Biden, his voting base should switch over to Biden.
Steyer has already given up after the South Carolina primary. I think his base will move to Biden since Steyer is no fan of socialism.
Amy Klobachar should also give up the ghost. She has no traction. Her supporters will easily move to Biden.
Elizabeth Warren is done. In fact, the longer she stays in the race the more of a liar she looks. If she resigns, her supporters will fall into Comrade Bernie’s camp and he may look well on her. Chief Warren wants to be Bernie’s VP.
Mayor Pete, who is a closet radical, still purports to be a moderate. And I think he has fooled his supporters. If he drops out, his supporters will probably go to Biden.
So far, none of this has happened. Only Steyer has dropped out. And that’s because all the Democratic candidates are narcissistic sociopaths. These guys are all going to stay in through Super Tuesday.
Biden and Bloomberg will split votes and Bernie will make a bee-line right up the middle. Bernie will make out like a bandit on Super Tuesday taking a ton of delegates including over 400 from California.
At that point, the Democratic primary will be over and Comrade Bernie will be the Democratic Presidential candidate.
On Tuesday, Democrats in the U.S. Senate blocked a bill that would have required clinics and hospitals to provide basic medical treatment to infants born alive after failed abortions. Democrats tried to position the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act as a radical assault on the bodily autonomy of women and an intrusion of the government into medical decisions, but it was nothing of the sort. This is a bill authored by Ben Sasse.
Congress finds the following:
(1) If an abortion results in the live birth of an infant, the infant is a legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States, and entitled to all the protections of such laws.
(2) Any infant born alive after an abortion or within a hospital, clinic, or other facility has the same claim to the protection of the law that would arise for any newborn, or for any person who comes to a hospital, clinic, or other facility for screening and treatment or otherwise becomes a patient within its care.
As always, the pro-infanticide Democrats have the full support of the media. CNN, with no hint of irony, actually called babies born after abortions “fetuses,” and distinguished them from “newborn babies.” According to CNN, a newborn baby is a child that is born alive on purpose because his mother wants him. A child that is born alive accidentally because the mother doesn’t want him is still just a fetus. The humanity of a baby, even outside of the womb, depends entirely on his mother’s desires.
This is the evil of the Democratic party. And their beliefs are evil. Let’s take a look at some:
The homeless crisis.
The support for such pedophiles and perverts like Jeffry Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton Roman Polanski, Woody Allen and the list goes on and on.
The transsexual movement including allowing kids to “transition,” allow men to compete with women and normalizing transsexuals by indoctrinating kids through programs like Trans Story Time.
The demonization of religion like Christianity and Judaism and the embrace of radical and oppressive religions such as Islam.
Taxes.
The removal of rights such as free speech and right to bear arms.
Now that Bernie Sanders is about to take the Democratic nomination, people are going to start looking at past statements he has made. He has been in politics for 40 years so why he wasn’t vetted before remains a mystery. Well, not really.
In 1972, Sanders, who was about 106 years old then wrote:
“A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused. A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously.”
He added later: “Do you know why the newspapers with the articles like ‘Girl 12 raped by 14 men’ sell so well? To what in us are they appealing?”
When confronted about it by Chuck Todd of MSNBC, Sanders said:
“This is a piece of fiction that I wrote in 1972, I think. That was 43 years ago. It was very poorly written,” Sanders told Todd.
“If you read it, it was dealing with gender stereotypes. Why some men like to oppress women. Why other women like to be submissive. You know, something like ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’ Very poorly written. Forty-three years ago,” he added.
In another essay, called “The Revolution Is Life Versus Death,” Sanders repeatedly criticizes traditional modes of sexual “decency” and morality, including when it comes to children:
“In Vermont, at a state beach, a mother is reprimanded by Authority for allowing her 6-month-old daughter to go about without her diapers on. Now, if children go around naked, they are liable to see each other’s sexual organs, and maybe even touch them. Terrible thing! If we bring children up like this it will probably ruin the whole pornography business, not to mention the large segment of the general economy which makes its money by playing on people’s sexual frustrations.”
This essay, which is short and available below, is the ridding of norms so the people can revolt against the “hum-drum” life of the working class citizen. It not only talks about sexual freedom, but the oppression of the government and moral values, the evils of war and the virtues of the commune and collectivism.
This is sick stuff. And since the Democrats do not like Bernie, expect this stuff is going to come up. Also expect Bernie to come out unapologetic.
The United States has had 1 confirmed death (Washington State) and 2 cases that have unknown origins. That means that these people did not travel and no one knows how these two got infected.
Deaths have also hit Thailand and Australia.
Flights have been suspended to and from Italy and President Trump has ordered travel bans.
The World Health Organization says the outbreak has reached the “highest level” of risk for the world, with the director-general warning it can go in “any direction.”
The Dow Jones has lost about 4000 points this week mainly due to concerns about supply lines and all the unknowns of the virus.
The CDC and the government are dealing with medical supply shortages, including masks.
The United States government is voting on a bill that would allow between $2.4 billion (Trump administration) and $8 billion (the House).
The waters are calming after Super Tuesday. We still don’t know everything thanks to the incompetence of California. But we do know that Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are neck-in-neck.
So what do you think? Bernie or Joe? Grabien has an opinion and the Huffington Post is kicking off the new Democratic narrative.
Finally, Chuck Schumer sticks his foot in it.
Bernie Gets Burned
Super Tuesday was not good for Bernie.
Joe Biden won all but four states taking a 627-551 delegate lead. That will change because the tally in California isn’t complete.
This is going to be a contested convention because neither will reach the 1991 delegates needed.
President Trump uses his power to free some friends in a move that might signal future moves. President Obama touts all his “successes” while he was President and gets lit up. We could be seeing the beginning of the end for the Boy Scouts of America. And I saw all four XFL games this weekend. Eh….
Not Sure This Was a Good Move
Donald Trump has decided to pardon or commute the sentences of several convicted felons. Those people might sound familiar. Here’s the list:
Michael Milken – Sentenced to 10 years for racketeering, securities fraud and other charges. Fined $600 million but is worth $3.8 billion.
Rod Blagojevich – Served in the Illinois House of Representatives. Conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. Set to serve 14 years. If you don’t remember him, he tried selling a seat in the Senate opened from the newly elected President Barrack Obama. Not sure of this one.
Were these good releases. Yeah, if you look at the crime versus the judgement.
Let’s look at each.
There’s a reason why Presidents wait until the end of their terms to release people. But I think this is a prelude to Trump letting Roger Stone go. I don’t think it’s a good look.
The Nevada caucuses are this week but it seems the race for the Democratic nominee is between only two people. Trump should just be dancing into his next four years. But, like most who are way ahead, he is working to lose it.
Let’s take a look at the Democratic field and how Trump can beat them.
The Front Runner
So far, the front runner for the nomination looks like it is going to be Bernie Sanders.
He tied in Iowa, won in New Hampshire and has a 7 point lead in the nation including a lead in Nevada. He is followed by Biden (who could be done if he doesn’t have a great showing), Warren, Steyer, Buttigieg and Klobachar.
Bernie is looking more and more like he is going to be the nominee which is scaring the Democrats. His message od socialism combined with no apparent plan for any of his policies is going to be a feast for Donald Trump.
Yeah, Trump will eat his lunch if he tries to pull that crap during a debate. All Bernie offers when he is questions are platitudes. He has no idea how he’s going to pay for any of this. Well, he does. Through 65-90% tax rates on all Americans. That’s how he’s going to do it.
But Bernie has another problem. His supporters. They’re crazy, as you saw last week.
In Carson City, Nevada, Bernie’s speech was interrupted by topless dairy industry protesters. It was embarrassing for Bernie. : Listen:
This is the problem Bernie Sanders has. His core support is so radical, so out in left field, that when he gets into a general election, regular America is not going to want anything to do with this. It’s just too crazy.
And, what’s worse, this garbage isn’t going to stop when he wins the nomination.
The only one who stands a chance against Bernie, and might actually give Donald Trump a run in 2020, is Michael Bloomberg.
He has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on campaign ads and is showing up everywhere for rallies. He is flooding the media with his face.
But he’s running into problems with all the other candidates. This is an old white guy, worth $60 billions, who is really short, that is buying his way into the nomination. This message is completely different from what the other candidates are saying. They are demonizing billionaires. And that’s why I think Bloomberg will fade into the dust eventually. Especially when he gets attacked on some of the things he was caught saying.
Listen to this he said about the stop-and-frisk policy in New York while he was a mayor. He supported stop-and-frisk as I think any normal person should have. Because it worked.
This week, he’s been nailed with two more “scandals” and I think they are more serious. One is where he apparently told a pregnant newly wed to kill the baby so she could keep working. She sued, he settled. And, apparently, this wasn’t the only incident. If there are a bunch more, this is going to come out. And it will not help him.
And then, Monday, a video was released of him at a presser saying that farming was so easy anyone could learn it. Just dig a hole, put a seed in the hole, cover, water and, wallah, corn!
Oh, God. Not a smart thing to say. Also, not true. I am pretty sure Mike Bloomberg would go broke if he became a farmer. I know I would.
All this crap was in the last week. I’m pretty sure we’re going to hear more. Bloomberg doesn’t have a chance.
These are the dead that just refuse to die. They actually think they have a chance still. Well, they don’t.
Pete Buttigieg – Trying to mix moderation with radicalism. Just said the illegal aliens should have health insurance. And, the Bible belt just found out he’s gay and married to a man. That doesn’t even touch on the fact the people of his own city hate him. Good for him with Iowa and New Hampshire. Reality will hit in Nevada and South Caroline. Super Tuesday will do him in.
Amy Klobachar – The real moderate of the group. Which is why the Left base hates her. Talks funny, looks funny and combs her hair with a comb. Not a chance though she is the most moderate in the group.
Tom Steyer – Projected to do well in Nevada but the climate change debate only goes so far. He might get a delegate though.
Tulsi Gabbard – Really hot but only holding 0% of the vote. Ciao!
I’m sure I’m missing someone but who cares.
Good Night, My Prince and Princesses
There were two candidate left in the Democratic race that really had a chance. Then, the public realized one is a stone cold liar and the other died eighteen months ago.
Elizabeth Warren is the best and she’s done. She lies so much, it’s just funny.I would have loved to see her go against Trump. He would have destroyed and it would have been hysterical.
Well, we have a couple of weeks left. And she is the epitome of the Pander Bear. Don’t be shocked if she calls herself a Native America, transgender Muslim lesbian woman from Somalia. It’s going to happen.
As I said before: Rest in Peace Joe Biden. I’m pretty sure Biden’s campaign is a Weekend at Bernie’s. Right now, he has the dumbest supported putting his hand up Biden’s butt and making him say things. The problem is Biden’s dentures keep slipping.
