The Sheeple Aren’t Even Emitting a Single Bleat

Just saw a meme that was supposed to be humorous. It was a video of hundreds of chickens, streaming down a hill at break-neck speed. The caption was, "The day they let us out again." 

Think about the caption. "The day THEY LET us OUT again." What sheep Americans have become. This is nothing to laugh about. Our Constitution, in a matter of weeks, has been reduced to a roll of toilet paper which is the only one nobody wants to use. I have not quarantined. My wife has not quarantined. We go out when we want to and where we want to...like free Americans. We go to church, like free Christian Americans. If by now you do not realize the sham that has been created concerning the deadliness of this virus, I pity you for the mindless creatures you have become. If by now you are still more afraid of COVID than our local, state and federal governments, I pity you for the mindless creatures you have become.

  Do your homework. What have the experts' models been telling us? 2.2 million will die if we do nothing, which our government was never going to do nothing. It was a fear tactic to get us to mindlessly obey them. Then it was 240,000. Then it was 100,000. Now it's at 60,000 and I seriously doubt it will even get there. Plus, we now know that anyone diagnosed with COVID who dies is chalked up as a COVID death, even though there might have been a number of other causes of the death BESIDES the virus. Birx publicly admitted it! We can’t even get honest numbers THEY publicize. An entire planetary economy has been put on hold. 16 million Americans out of work and now sitting under the teat of the federal milk cow, waiting to be fed like mindless drones. If you do not see our country, and all other Western countries, turning in to police states, where prisoners are being released while law abiding citizens playing golf or T-ball with their 6 year old child are being cuffed and sent to jail; then you are a blind minion that has already placed your wrists and ankles in shackles. VOLUNTARILY! All THEY tell us is how many are infected...OH DEAR! All THEY tell us is how many are dead....OH DEAR! THEY never tell us the recovery rate is over 98%. THEY fought tooth and nail to keep a drug that's been used for 65 years without any problems if taken appropriately, to keep it out of the hands of American citizens who might have been saved because of it. THEY push their own Utopian agenda while keeping REAL help from being distributed. If you don't see that the American population has been turned into nothing more than cattle, and that if all we do is just act like good little subjects everything will turn back to the way it was, then you have no knowledge...NONE...of history. History teaches, and I have a B.A. in History, that once governments acquire more power over their people, they retain it, and then seek ways to gain even more.

  There is one thing that is true about the meme I saw. Americans have been turned into a bunch of ‘Nervous Nellie’ chickens. And our government has just learned that if they claim an emergency...any emergency...like climate change or gun violence...they can shred our Constitutional rights in our very face and take us over without firing a shot. And if that happens, and you have been complicit in blindly following this sham of 'social distancing' and hiding indoors and doing only what Big Brother says without a whimper or a question; then you deserve what you get.

God you're really insane huh?

Typical liberal response. No valid argument, just accusations.

You seem to watch a lot of Alex Jones for someone who's calls themselves common sense wizard

LOL

Are you a fan of Alex Jones by any chance?

No. Have never listened to, read or watched.

The Founders Were Geniuses

I have a B.A. in History and am working on my M.A. in Government with focus on International Relations. I have studied with great care the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Federalist Papers and the Articles of Confederation. I have read many of the personal communique’s of our founders, and have also studied the writings of the 18th century British MP Edmund Burke, who is fondly referred to as the Father of Conservatism, and written a collegiate essay on his views of the American Revolution. 

The idea of separation of powers within a government construct has been around since at least Aristotle. When the founders of the United States gathered to throw off the yoke of the British Empire, they were keen on doing all they could to bring as much immunity from a tyrannical government as possible. They were well aware of historical precedents, political philosophies, and current events of social upheaval within Europe. All of their personal experiences were combined with their own knowledge and wisdom, along with history and political philosophy. 

What they came up with has stood the test of more than two-hundred and forty years. To say it is perfect would be foolish at worst, naive at best. No form of government run by man will ever be classified in such a term. To denounce our form of government because the men who formed it were slave owners, economic opportunists, conquerors of native peoples, elitists, and held the view that men were superior to women; is to think men of the 18th century should be judged by 21st century standards and that these aspects of their character should be a stain on what they created. People should always remember that the only one who was qualified to throw the first stone...didn’t.

No, our form of government should be judged on its merits over the last nearly two and a half centuries. Of course, liberal progressives will laugh at this statement, mainly because they live their lives looking through rose colored, utopian scented spectacles that only allow them to see the positives in their dreams and smell the lilacs of impossibilities. What they fail to see is what is transpiring right before their lying eyes, in real time...right now. For there is a concerted effort to oust a duly elected president at any cost, by any means, through any charge...manufactured or not. This is fascinating to watch the genius of our founders play out. No other impeachment ‘process’ has taken this perilous of a route. What is happening in D.C. right now is more dangerous to the foundation of our Constitution than the Civil War was. This isn’t an outside force of arms marching to overthrow the United States. No, this is an attempt at an inside coup to tell sixty-three million Americans their vote doesn’t matter; due process doesn’t matter; innocent until proven guilty doesn’t matter; the right to face your accuser doesn’t matter; the right to see the plaintiff’s evidence doesn’t matter; the right to cross examine doesn’t matter; the right to call your own witnesses doesn’t matter; and the powers invoked to the president of the United States by Constitutional mandate doesn’t matter. And I could go on, but those are the high points. And if these enemies of the State are successful, then all of us...ALL of us...are in the same sinking boat. The rule of law in this country will be in tatters and its destiny placed in the hands who think laws don’t matter. And this is where the genius of our founders will be seen, and at its finest hour.

The House of Representatives, the founders declared, would be the only branch of our government who could wield the power of impeachment. The executive and judicial branches of the government are not allowed to do so. Once the House approves articles of impeachment, their job is OVER as a body. It only takes a simple majority in the House to approve impeachment articles. Only the House counsel(s) are in the Senate to act as prosecutor before them. This is as it should be. The House of Representatives is made up of legislators who are placed in office by their district constituents in the state they are from. The number of representatives from each state is based on population. The Senate is made up of two senators from each state, each being elected by voters in their respective states.  In other words, these two groups are as democratically elected as we get. With Representatives and Senators, mob rules. Popular votes are all that matter in these races. When they go to the capitol, those who voted them into office are then to have their best interests at the heart of the legislators selected. It doesn’t work out that way, but then again...what government is perfect.

The United States Senate is another aspect of the founders’ genius. Articles of Impeachment, once passed, goes to them. The trial of the impeached president takes place in this chamber. The House has no more say as a body. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court sits in as judge, but has no power over the proceedings other than in a ministerial capacity to arbitrate dissensions for both sides. After the case has been presented, it takes a two thirds super majority to convict. This assures that no matter which party controls the Senate, it will be a hard mountain to climb to remove a duly elected president unless the charges of high crimes and misdemeanors are clear and concise.

What Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler are doing, along with their other criminal cronies, is beyond the pale of just practices. Secret meetings? Unknown witnesses with third party information? No questions allowed from the other side? Selected leaks to the media? Hearsay being included as evidence? Transcripts being put in the public record when read as a parody? Since when did ‘reading between the lines’ become valid evidence of wrongdoing? If they can do this to a president, and open this Pandora’s Box of making up the rules as you go; do not think for one minute this will never trickle down to the common citizen. It’s almost there now. 

Our founders need to be revered, not reviled. For not only did they separate the legislative branch powers, but they kept the judicial branch out of impeachment altogether, except for the Chief Justice being involved in nothing more than a figure head position during the senate proceedings. Even the Chief Justice has no vote in the matter. Hamilton was adamant in an independent judiciary, and that is why no federal judges are elected. Federal judges have no skin in the game of politics. For if they did, then they would be beholden to the ones who put them on the bench.

So what we are seeing is a blatant attempt to circumvent the Constitution by a political party establishment who knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, they have no candidate among them who can defeat Donald Trump. The only way to defeat him is to remove him by establishing the best kangaroo court they can muster and hope beyond all hope that it will work. Maybe even make him so tired of the fight he’ll just resign like Nixon did. The difference is Nixon knew the jig was up. Trump knows there isn’t a prayer the senate can snag a two thirds majority to oust him. The only other hope they have is to damage the public perception of Trump to such a degree people will get tired of it and simply not rally around one so tarnished over the last four years. What they don’t realize is that the majority of the American people do not approve of what is going on, and the massive decrease of money going into the DNC and to the poor losers running for the Democratic nomination is a sign of their political anemia.

The final thing the Democrats have missed out on, is that the founders...even though they lived in the 18th century and owned slaves and were economic opportunists and Indian conquerors and misogynists and elitist snobs...were even then FAR smarter and vastly more intelligent than the likes of them. And all of us are going to be better off for it in the long run.

D.L. Hughley Proves Krauthammer Right

Long before Charles Krauthammer passed away, he said, “The difference between liberals and conservatives is that conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals believe conservatives are evil.” (Paraphrased)

Case in point would be D.L. Hughley’s latest diatribe about Trump supporters. Tuesday night on his TV One show, Hughley said that Trump supporters are morally vacant, self centered and that  “you could worship the devil and be a better human being than if you worshiped Donald Trump.” 

Now, it doesn’t matter if you believe in the devil or not. What matters is that everyone is aware of the concept. The devil, or its image, is synonymous with evil. Pure evil. Unmitigated evil. The worst of all evils. 

I understand that Hughley’s credentials aren’t that stellar. He was a member of the Bloods street gang, was expelled from high school, and his vast education stops at a GED. Most of his education has come from the University of Hard Knocks. In some respects, I don’t diminish that. It teaches many life lessons. His success as a stand-up comic has opened a wide range of opportunities for him, which I find quite strange. Seeing as how the white man racist holds all the power and uses it to keep the black man down ALL the time. America bad...Hughley good. I get it. But, let us return to the point of this post.

There is a concerted effort among the left to paint everyone as evil who disagrees with them. Not just misinformed or uneducated or brainwashed or simple minded or whatever adjective you wish to nail to conservatives. They absolutely ‘hate’ anyone who supports Trump. According to Hughley and his panel of pals, one cannot even be a ‘little’ supportive of Trump and can’t be referred to as a good person if one supports Trump. According to Hughley, he could never be friends with a Trump supporter. 

I might listen to someone who possessed a modicum of intelligence about the world politic, or whose education surpassed that of a high school dropout, who make their living working in the intellectual community of philosophers, doctors, masters of arts and sciences, social scientists, political scientists, psychologists, or any sphere of engineering. But not Hughley. Especially when his vitriolic hatred is directed like a mega-shotgun blast at more than sixty-three million people...which is probably more now, since Trump’s poll ratings continue to climb. He doesn’t know me. And he doesn’t know what lies in the hearts of the millions who support Trump. He can’t possibly know. But he claims he does. And he claims we are all evil people who aren’t good people and can never be accepted in his society. It wouldn’t bother me if he were the only one who thought this or was just a face among the few. 

But he is among the leftist elite who have put their hands in the political cookie jar. Hughley has forgotten from whence he came. He doesn’t care that more blacks are working now than in recent memory. He doesn’t care that blacks are gaining traction in the work force and that their standards of living are increasing every day. He only knows that he hates Trump, for that is the ‘in’ thing among liberals. 

Before Trump became president, you can find photos of him with Rosa Parks, Jesse Jackson, Ali, Obama, Hillary, Sharpton...and they’re all smiles and big buddies, giving him awards and certifications for all he has done for the black communities he was involved with. As long as he was on the sidelines, doling out his money in contributions and philanthropic endeavors, he was the life of the party. Nobody remembers his involvement after 9/11 to help ALL of New York. Nobody remembers how he stopped his limo driver to interrupt a mugging on a New York street one day, putting his own life at risk. All they know is that he beat their Queen and ruined her coronation and now they hate his guts and anyone who dares....who DARES...to support him and agree with him. We’re worse than devil worshipers.

I do not think Hughley is worse than devil worshipers. I do not think that of any person, for I believe in the entity himself. I believe he exists. And I believe he is evil incarnate. No one is worse than the devil or those who worship him, no matter what they have done or how many times they have done it. I still believe, as Krauthammer said, that liberals are stupid. But they are not the kind of stupid that defines people who have a genetic mental condition that will not allow them to learn. I mean they are stupid in that they have voluntarily allowed their thinking to be clouded by one dimensional concepts. That is to say, they cannot see the bigger picture simply because they do not wish to. Donald Trump is a man of many weaknesses and character flaws. Yet, so are we all. He has racial tendencies, as do we all. He has a quick temper. He says things that aren’t acceptable to the standard social palate. In many ways, he isn’t ‘presidential’. What he is, is a winner. And if the liberals will just expand their vision a little bit, they will see that he is winning for America as a whole. For the first time since Ronald Reagan, we have a president who is putting America first, above all other countries’ interests. Say what you will about how wrong or immoral that is. It has been that mindset since our founding that has made us and kept us the richest and most powerful nation world history has ever seen. And we all should be glad about that. Otherwise, it would be us clamoring over the fences from where we came, trying to go somewhere else better. Thank your lucky stars you were born here. Billions weren’t. And they hate us for it. Don’t hate those who are your countrymen simply because they have a different political thought process than you do. Especially if you’re D.L. Hughley. He’s come a long way from the Bloods. And he should be thankful for it, and be using his celebrity status to lift up us all. Someone, somewhere influenced him to lift up from the streets. Someone, somewhere, saw potential in him. We all have potential. I hope one day he sees that.

Mueller Mowed Down

Robert Mueller is done. His cape has been removed. His halo is in the garbage can. The big ‘S’ on his chest now stands for Stupid. And the democrats are not just eating crow pie, it’s all over their face. If you didn’t watch the hearings, this is all you need to know....

“Can you repeat the question? I can’t get into that. That wasn’t in my purview. I must refer to the report.”

Mueller didn’t know who Fusion GPS was. Mueller couldn’t remember who appointed him as U.S. Attorney in Massachusetts. It wasn’t G.H.W. Bush...it was Reagan. He wouldn’t say whether or not he wrote the statement given in May. Why is that a secret? Because he didn’t write it...obviously. And there were many, many other items of interest where he stumbled, bumbled, stuttered and stammered through both hearings. It became clear early on that he didn’t know half (if that, but I’m trying to be fair) of what was in the report that bears his name.

The Republicans screwed, glued and tattooed Mueller to the wall. Jim Jordan, Jason Chaffetz, Devin Nunes, Louis Gomert, Matt Gaetz and others hammered Mueller with a prosecutor’s ferocity and blasted him with facts, statutes and codes of law that exposed Mueller as the Democratic/Deep State/Hillary hack that he is.

One of the greatest moments was when Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) blasted Mueller on why he didn’t charge Joseph Mifsud for lying to the FBI three times. Manafort, Cohen, Flynn and others were all charged with lying, but Mifsud got a pass. And, as Jordan said, Mifsud is the reason all these investigations were started to begin with. Just ask Martha Stewart about lying ONCE to the FBI and what happens to you.

And what about Mueller’s ‘purview’? This was the most telling about his and his team’s bias during the entire investigation. When it came to the Steele Dossier and Steele himself, THAT was not in his purview, even though it was what the FBI pinned the tail on their Democratic donkey in order to spy on American citizens and get the Russian collusion fallacy started. When it came to Strzok, Page, McCabe, Comey et al at the top echelon of the FBI and Justice Dept., THAT was not in his purview, even though it became obvious over time that there were corrupt activities taking place that was pouring unverifiable fuel and lies on the bonfire of an ‘insurance policy’ to unseat a duly elected president of the United States. And none of this was in his ‘purview’, when it is plainly stated in the letter affirming him as special counsel that he had almost unprecedented ‘purview’ to investigate the matter???? Unbelievable. 

But Jim Jordan was correct in that there is good news. Bill Barr and Durham are now investigating the investigators and digging into the corruption that existed, and probably still exists and should start with Christopher Wray, and hopefully in a couple of years we will finally get the full facts from the DOJ and also from the IG report that should come out in a couple of months. Criminal indictments should be filed against the ones who perpetuated this fraud against Donald Trump and his campaign, and if there isn’t, the American people should never trust this government again. Never.

Say goodbye to Robert Mueller as he rides off into the sunset of obscurity. He got mowed down yesterday, as he should have been. 22 months of investigation was shredded. The Democrats were fully exposed as a calamitous group of stooges. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, and all the others were slapped in the face for misleading the American people (who watch them...which aren’t many), into believing lie after lie after lie. Trump came out the winner. The Democrats are in major damage control. And this has been fun to witness. Let us hope and pray 2020 is a full blown mega-disaster for the Democratic Party. It would be the best thing for America.

This Is All I Get From Liberals

On my last post, I gave out several ‘facts’ about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Then, some dweeb liberal I won’t mention...simply because they don’t deserve to be...accused me of ‘spewing’ without facts. This is all I ever get. What I post is denounced, but without solid evidence to back their refutations. Apparently, everything I said about this woman ‘thing’ we have in Congress was untrue, according to this person who obviously did NOT do their homework before responding to me. Cases in point:

1. It is established FACT AOC was working in a restaurant tending bar before running for Congress.

2. It is established FACT AOC’s brother put her name in for an ‘audition’ being given by a liberal group calling itself The Justice Democrats.

3. It is established FACT her brother did not tell her beforehand he had done this.

4. It is established FACT The Justice Democrats chose her to run for Congress, and immediately funded her campaign.

5. It is established FACT AOC is prepped by personnel within The Justice Democrats, and there are many news articles and news videos...and not just by Fox...where these preppers are giving out talking points in interviews which are then parroted by Cortez later.

I could go on, but what would be the point. Liberals’ minds are made up. They don’t need facts. In FACT, when I produce FACTS, they accuse me of simply vomiting ‘feel good’ rhetoric. Talk about pot/kettle. It would be refreshing for a liberal to respond to my posts with their established facts refuting my established facts. I am willing to be corrected. I am willing to read, study and meditate on viable, reflective, intelligent responses. I freely admit I am not always right. But when liberals simply say things like, “You’re wrong, dude!” Or, “Get your facts straight!”, without revealing what facts they have to counter my facts; their argument is...well...not an argument that could be classified by definition. It’s simply accusations with no evidence, and we can’t have evidence in the liberal mind, because evidence defeats their politically slanted tripe.

So, here’s the challenge. What ‘facts’ did I get wrong in my last post? Try not to name call or use rude monosyllables (For you libs that means cursing). Try to be adult and simply tell me what I got wrong and where to find it. I will take the time to research your argument and get back to you. Who knows? You might change my mind. I might even apologize. I might go lib! Ya never know. What won’t happen is me hiding in the shadows...like most of you...with a fake name, and be intimidated by childish remarks and uneducated retorts. Have a great day. I know I will...listening to the crickets coming from Liberal La-La Land. Or, I will get what I always get from libs. Accusations of being wrong with nothing to back them up, or rudeness and name calling. It will be one of the two. Almost guaranteed.

AOC: The Joseph Goebbels of America’s 21st Century

Do not be fooled. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be ignorant, stupid, uninformed, etc., but her handlers are not. She is a test subject, a lab rat, a human guinea pig. In 2017, a group called The Justice Democrats held auditions for those who wished to run for congressional office who would be the mouthpieces for their platform. AOC’s brother, she admits openly, put her name in the hat, and she fit exactly what the Justice Democrats were looking for. They formed her into the puppet she has become, and is constantly regurgitating the talking points they place in front of her. The United States is running concentration camps. The world will die in 12 years. The Green New Deal. Open borders. No ICE. Republicans/Conservatives evil. AOC good. Forty percent of Americans make less than twenty thousand per year. And there are many others. AOC is a propaganda machine. Bring her in the room, program her, and send her out to vomit her bilge water to the press, for they are gleefully waiting to support her programmers and their agenda. This is what I mean by AOC being the Joseph Goebbels of our 21st century.

  “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” ― Joseph Goebbels 

This woman, who was working in a restaurant prior to becoming the face of the socialist movement in this country...prior to becoming the star of the Democratic Party...prior to being plastered on every news program, radio show, newspaper and social media platform...is a female clone of Goebbels.

   “It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.” ― Joseph Goebbels

The only difference between AOC and Goebbels is that he was an evil genius when it came to propaganda. He was the architect who created the image of Adolf Hitler and carefully crafted every photo, speech, film and message made of and by him. The ‘real’ man was never exposed to the masses.

 AOC is only a dupe, duped into being used by the evil genius puppet masters who are pulling her strings. She literally came out of nowhere and suddenly is the main challenger to Nancy Pelosi’s power in Congress. The ‘real’ people behind her...Alexandra Rojas and Corbin Trent...to name a couple, are the architects behind AOC. But pay no attention to the people behind the curtain. That will only make you ‘woke’. 

The average American voter is mostly uninformed when it comes to both sides of a story. Libs listen to lib stuff. Conservatives to conservative stuff. This is a dangerous practice when it comes to entering the voting booth. Any police officer or detective will tell you that the truth is never revealed until they hear all sides to a story from witnesses and evidence, whether open to view or from forensics. Case in point can be found in my last post about the Mueller Report. I read the entire report, except of course what was redacted. I noted that 37 times the report stated there was no, or insufficient, evidence of collusion. I even listed about a dozen of them, word for word from the ACTUAL report. I still had people reply that what I wrote was bogus. Incredible. 

I watch Bill Maher. I look at CNN, MSNBC and the others. You have to read the other side’s books if you want to know their tactics. And, their tactics are clear. They want to fundamentally change this republic into a pure democracy built on socialistic principles, believing a man made utopia can be accomplished where everyone has a chicken in the pot, two cars in the garage, a more than living wage, with peace and prosperity for all. One does not have to be a history major (like I am) to know that throughout the history of mankind there has never been such a place, such a society, such a government. Never. And, there never will be. Everywhere...everywhere...in this country where Democrats and their policies have been the norm for decades, all you see is ruin, poverty, out of control taxation, rampant homelessness, skyrocketing property prices, and a slow but sure degradation of individual liberties and freedoms. People are leaving California, and other liberal States, in droves. Unfortunately, a lot of them are coming to red States like mine, making us fearful that they will not change their voting practices or political ideologies, being stupid enough to think THEY weren’t the problem by continuing to vote in the same people term after term after term. 

The reason they do this is because they are what has been termed ‘sheeple’, ‘useful idiots’ Lenin once called Americans who bought in to the Marxist ideals of socialism and communism. Right now, we have the most useful idiot we have ever seen, sitting in our Congress, being fed Marxist propaganda to be spewed out on the airwaves and in the very halls of our government. Her name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. God help us all if the Justice Democrats, and others like them, are able to place a majority of these puppets in places of power on a permanent basis. Goebbels is most likely burning in hell...but he’s laughing at the idiocy of the American voter just the same.

MUELLER REPORT A LAUGHABLE MONTAGE OF NOTHING

I have finished reading the Mueller Report. I only dozed off twice. Here's the thing. Thirty-five times the report states the investigation found NO EVIDENCE there was collusion or a conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign or Trump with regard to election interference. Here are thirteen of the thirty-five which you can find through page 127:

1. the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.

2. the investigation did not establish that the Trump Campaign coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.

3. the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.

4. while the investigation identified numerous links between individuals with ties to the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump Campaign, the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges.

5. the evidence was not sufficient to charge that any member of the Trump Campaign conspired with representatives of the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election.

6. the investigation established that interactions between Russian Ambassador Kislyak and Trump Campaign officials both at the candidate's April 2016 foreign policy speech in Washington, D.C., and during the week of the Republican National Convention were brief, public, and non-substantive.

7. the investigation did not establish that one Campaign official's efforts to dilute a portion of the Republican Party platform on providing assistance to Ukraine were undertaken at the behest of candidate Trump or Russia.

8. The investigation also did not establish that a meeting between Kislyak and Sessions in September 2016 at Sessions's Senate office included any more than a passing mention of the presidential campaign.

9. The investigation did not identify evidence that any U.S. persons knowingly or intentionally coordinated with the IRA's interference operation. ( MY NOTE: Internet Research Agency owned by a Russian oligarch and operated out of St. Petersburg, Russia.)

10. In all cases, the IRA contacted the Campaign while claiming to be U.S. political activists working on behalf of a conservative grassroots organization. (MY NOTE: This in the exhaustive section about the IRA and its activities)  the investigation has not identified evidence that any Trump Campaign official understood the requests were coming from foreign nationals.

11. The investigation did not find evidence that the Trump Campaign recovered any such Clinton emails, or that these contacts were part of a coordinated effort between Russia and the Trump Campaign. (MY NOTE: this is about her 30k e-mails)

12. In particular, the investigation examined whether these contacts involved or resulted in coordination or a conspiracy with the Trump Campaign and Russia, including with respect to Russia providing assistance to the Campaign in exchange for any sort of favorable treatment in the future. Based on the available information, the investigation did not establish such coordination. (MY NOTE: Really? After two years? Then there was no crime)

13. the Office found no documentary evidence showing that he (Trump) was made aware of the meeting--or its Russian connection-before it occurred. (MY NOTE: About the Trump Tower meeting)

As far as the obstruction of justice portion of the investigation, Mueller and his team exhaustively go through all the machinations, maneurvering, tweets, conversations, meetings, etc. where Trump and his advisers were trying to protect him from the den of vipers that is Washington D.C. After ALL that, here is what Mueller and his team had to say:

"Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."

NOTE: Alan Dershowitz, a renowned attorney and constitutional expert, plus a Democrat and liberal, has come out and denounced Mueller here, along with many others. It is not a prosecutor’s job to exonerate anyone. The last phrase of this sentence in the report is heinously added by Mueller to harm Trump and urge impeachment. If Mueller could not, or would not, conclude a crime had been committed, then it wasn’t committed, and that by every definition of the law of our being presumed innocent. 

Now, pertaining to Trump's written answers to the Special Counsel's questionnaire, this is what they had to say:

"we determined that the substantial quantity of information we had obtained from other sources allowed us to draw relevant factual CONCLUSIONS on intent and credibility, which are often inferred from circumstantial evidence and assessed without direct testimony from the subject of the investigation."

NOTE: If they were able to draw relevant factual conclusions on intent and credibility, with the ‘substantial’ quantity of information they had obtained from ‘other’ sources, why did they not ‘conclude’ on obstruction? If there was no final conclusion on obstruction, after two years of investigations, then the conclusion was no obstruction. Period.

It seems to me if that's all Mueller and his team couldn't find after two years of dogged investigation...that there is no crime or crimes here by Trump or his campaign. The crimes committed were by the IRA, GRU, Wikileaks, Gucifer 2.0 and others, as is stipulated in the report, who were not colluded with, or conspired with by Trump or anyone in his campaign.

The report clearly states that  "During its investigation the Office issued more than 2,800 subpoenas under the auspices of a grand jury sitting in the District of Columbia; executed nearly 500 search-and-seizure warrants; obtained more than 230 orders for communications records under 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d); obtained almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers; made 13 requests to foreign governments pursuant to Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties; and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses, including almost 80 before a grand jury.” And all these hacks can find is no evidence, no evidence, no evidence? Then, that must mean there IS NO FREAKIN’ EVIDENCE!!! Then, The ever race baiting, democrat butt kissing, socialist loving Don Lemon says it is WE who are brainwashed???? No, Mr. Lemon. It is not WE who are brainwashed. I don’t know what report Lemon and the rest of those who hate Trump are reading, but it isn’t the one on the government’s website.

The shame here is that liberals don’t believe in facts, evidence or any such proof. No, they only believe in hate and the propaganda they allow themselves to be fed every day by the liberal elite media who are all saying the same thing on every channel once they receive their marching orders. Too sad. 

The swamp was swampier than we ever imagined.

The Anti-American Dream. I lived in and around London for about four years. What Mr. Condell says here is true. You can be literally jailed in the UK for expressing certain opinions considered ‘hate speech’. This is worth a listen for everyone, no matter your political spectrum of existence.

The Time It Is Approaching

For two years we have been hearing how Donald Trump is a traitor, a Russian agent, a Nazi racist homophobic inhuman monster of biblical proportions. He’s an enemy of the First Amendment, an enemy of the press, a devilish enemy of the people. Then, a special counsel was formed with nothing but Democratic, Hillary worshiping liberals on the staff, working tirelessly issuing subpoenas, warrants, and staging raids with guns drawn as if they were going after cartel drug runners. Arrests were made, charges brought, indictments handed down, trials, convictions and sentences...that had NOTHING to do with Russian collusion or obstruction of justice by the Trump campaign or administration. Then the long awaited and panted over Mueller Report comes out, and after all the hubbub, no recommendations for charges on collusion or obstruction, and this for lack of evidence. At this point, the constant and incessant attacks on the president should have ended...but they didn’t. They only intensified. The new Attorney General Barr has been grilled, fried, torched, lamblasted, basted, and sauteed over his handling of the report. CNN and the usual media suspects have continued their assaults on the president. Adam Schiff, who has purported time and again to have the ‘evidence’ needed to get rid of Trump, has yet...to this date...submitted it to ANYBODY. Barr finally gets enough and refuses to come before a House committee’s attorneys to answer questions. And he is vilified for not acquiescing to what is plainly being set up as a hit job. He is to be delivered a subpoena, and if he doesn’t answer it, the Democrats are now screaming for him to be locked up. There is a war raging, people, and it isn’t against Donald Trump. It’s against us. 

According to the Cook Political Report on the Daily Wire, Trump received  62,979,636 votes in the 2016 election. We are not only being ignored, but vilified as deplorables, reduced to an unimportant mass who live in the ‘fly-over’ States, racists, Islamophobes, homophobes, religious gun nuts, ignorant, unclean vermin you can detect by smell in Wal-Mart, undeserving of any respect since we obviously didn’t know who to vote for. There are 21 Democratic candidates for president who are threatening us with more taxes, more gun control, less immigration control, using social security to pay out to illegal aliens...yes, ILLEGAL ALIENS who come here ILLEGALLY...and all manner of socialistic plans and ideas to further enslave us as subjects and take away our rights as citizens. Several states are moving to keep Trump off the presidential ballot in 2020, make it possible for prisoners (no matter the crime) to vote, and even make it where tide pod eating sixteen year old kids can vote (Ever seen the movie ‘Wild in the Streets’?), do away with the electoral college so California and New York can elect the president for the rest of the history of this country, and they are attempting all this because they don’t have a message that resonates enough with us to win an election. Hillary, for two years, continues to blather how the election was ‘stolen’ from her. Democrats scream how the election was flawed, tainted, warped, invaded, and even criminally adjusted, when their own god, Obama, claimed prior to the election that it was impossible ... IMPOSSIBLE ... to do that. Riots on the left continue when conservative speakers show up, and these rioters profess to be FOR the First Amendment! People are physically attacked for what they wear, how they speak, how they vote, for whom they support, and it’s getting tiresome. Very tiresome.

The time, it is approaching, for a serious conversation to occur among us deplorables as to how much longer we are going to take this. How much longer are we going to allow our voices to be degraded to the point of total unconcern by the Left in this country? The serious conversation should have a table that includes ALL options, with nothing being swept off, out of hand, without talking about it. Washington D.C. is a pit of vipers, on BOTH sides of the aisle. The only reason Republicans are backing Trump right now is because they are afraid of losing their cushy jobs in the Capitol. They see the numbers in their States and districts. They see the support for Trump. The rallies Trump has that attracts thousands has them quaking in their boots. Otherwise, they would be under the covers with the Democrats, copulating like ferrets trying to produce plans to get rid of him. Who knows? They might be doing it anyway in private. And if they are, all 62 plus million of us need to start talking, and not just on YouTube and social media. We need to start having our own congresses meeting, selecting leaders for either a lawful revolt or an unlawful revolt if things don’t change. Right now, the ballot box is our greatest weapon. But, if as we are seeing, the political elites continue to try and tip things to their advantage, like dissolution of the electoral college and keeping our candidate off the ballot, the voting booth becomes a toothless bulldog and we might as well be living in North Korea, where voices of dissent are squashed like nuisance bugs. If that should happen, the only other weapon left at our disposal will be the Second Amendment, and God help us if we allow that to be taken away. All will be lost, then. 

The true enemies of this country aren’t even hiding anymore. They laugh at us, all 62 million of us, as if we are totally inconsequential. That is a dangerous thing to do. The Romanovs found that out. So did Mussolini,  Nicolae Ceausescu, Muamar Gadhafi, to name a few.  And make no mistake, those who would rule over us claim to be a political party, and they are, but with one major distinction. They are working to be a collective dictatorship over us. They successfully weaponized the FBI, the CIA, the IRS, the FISA courts, and the DOJ to work against our choice for president, and are STILL working against us, the 62 million deplorables, the ‘fly-overs’, the smelly Wal-Mart people. 

Everyone in D.C. would do well to not only read what Edmund Burke had to say, but heed his words, and tremble in fear. He wrote, “It is the love of the people; it is their attachment to their government, from the sense of the deep stake they have in such a glorious institution....Let the colonies always keep the idea of their civil rights associated with your government - they will cling and grapple to you, and no force under heaven will be of power to tear them from their allegiance. But let it be once understood that your government may be one thing and their privileges another, that these two things may exist without any mutual relations - the cement is gone, the cohesion is loosened, and everything hastens to decay and dissolution.”

I submit that if our civil rights continue to be threatened by our government, and if this two tiered justice system that has been so blatantly exposed be allowed to continue to metastasize, and if the privileges of the elite continue to be placed above our own without any mutual relations...then let the cement be gone. Let the cohesion not just be loosened but severed! Let all they have built hasten to decay and dissolution. And, if it cannot be provided by the will of the people under the auspices of the Constitution and the power of the vote to be properly represented, then let it be provided by out and out revolt against the tyranny that is growing in this land. I would rather live under a tyranny to come, than to allow one to sprout and take flight in the presence of this day. Yes, the time it is approaching, and could be now...for this discussion to start.

Standard-less Unlimited

Where is the foundation for societal standards? Growing up, I was taught that standards for living a life, grounded in what was to be a pattern for living that would be a benefit not only to myself, but to society at large, was found in the Bible. Did I always follow those standards? Of course not. There have been times in my life that I failed to do so, but the vast majority of those times more or less hurt only myself. I have not robbed, burglarized, murdered, swindled, raped, or committed any other crime that hurt others in some way. For the most part, I have lived by the standards that were taught to me as a child and teenager. No one has lived a perfect life, save for Jesus Christ. That is what I believe, whether you wish to or not. And if you do not, I defend your right to reject it. That is your prerogative.

In the last several decades, there has been a not-so-slow erosion of societal standards of living, like the ones I was raised to observe. There has to be standards that preserve the fabric of a cohesive society if it is to survive as being ‘free’. I put the word in quotations because over the years it has been morphed into a definition that is, in my opinion, incorrect. Being free is not a license to live as you wish, act as you wish, or be what you wish. Being free is not the liberty to do what you want, but to do what you aught. For all of us to have the ‘freedom’ to do what we want will ultimately infringe on what others wish to do as they want. The result of that will be a clash of personal rights perceived by the masses, with each individual claiming their right as being infringed when another’s right does not coalesce with their own, or at least bow to it. How can this happen and not create chaos? If I must bow to what you perceive as your personal right, then logic dictates you must bow to mine. If either of us refuse to do so, or both do, conflict arises. Is this not what we are seeing in the United States today? Are we truly and still a ‘united’ country? I submit we are not only NOT united, but we are in a societal disarray of unlimited standard-less confusion, acquiescing to the belief that all is right and there is nothing that is wrong. And, if one believes that what another is doing is wrong, then that person is wrong or evil or both. In our society today, toleration does not tolerate intoleration, and to be intolerant against intoleration means your toleration of what the other person is doing that is being declared wrong has been justified by your intoleration of the accuser. So then, who is really tolerant? Who is truly inclusive in this conundrum of illogicality?

This is where we are heading, if we are not already there. In the book of Judges, chapter 21, verse 25, it states, “In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Try to imagine a society totally committed to that ideal. Here is a scenario. I think it is right to use my neighbor’s water to irrigate my garden. My neighbor thinks it is right he keeps his water for himself. Is there a wrong here? By what standard do you use to make the call? If you say the neighbor is right, on what do you base it? Your own interpretation of right and wrong? That is what the water user is doing. And who is to say he is wrong? You? So an argument ensues. The water user gathers those around him who believe he is in the right. The water defender gathers those around him who believe he is right. Can there be two rights here? Of course not. But that is where we are and what we are facing.

I believe that ultimately...ULTIMATELY...everything can be reduced to right or wrong. But to do that, there must be standards that are rock solid and irreversible, without contest and without regard for what someone else feels about it. In every society in the history of civilization, there have been laws that negatively affected someone, if not everyone. There have been standards that have restricted certain behaviors, whether you like it or not. There have been established morals of conduct that shaped and molded the society as a productive unit, whether those standards were agreeable to everyone’s mores or not. We just cannot live any way we want to and expect to remain a civilized, cohesive, non-chaotic, united society. It is impossible and will always be impossible. The old saying is true. “You cannot please everyone. And if you try to please everyone, you will end up pleasing no one.”

What I find astonishing is that Christian Biblical principles and standards of living are being denounced as bigoted, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and yes, even evil; while at the same time the tolerant tolerate Islam, which is openly bigoted, racist, especially rabid in its misogyny, radically homophobic and openly evil in declaring all who do not follow Islam as being infidels deserving of death. Anti-Bible/Anti-Christian folks always want to point to the Old Testament as proof of their intolerance about the perceived intolerance found there, being ignorant of the scriptures as a whole. What they fail to see is that if we all would only follow ONE verse in the New Testament, it would radically change the world. It is found in Philippians 2:3, where it says, “Always esteem others better than yourself.” There is no quantifying ‘others’. It means everyone. Just think how following that one verse, by us all, could and would change this world for the better. All we truly need is one standard. Just one. Just...one. But, class envy and the will to live as your own god is too great for it to ever happen. More is the pity. So let us continue down this path of doing what is right in our own eyes. Even if it most surely leads us to our own self destruction. And, it most surely will.

PRIMARY SOURCE ANALYSIS: Konstantin Pobedonostsev

In Konstantin Pobedonostsev’s book, Reflections of a Russian Statesman (1898), there is an excerpt denouncing the alleged virtues of a parliamentary democracy. The clarity of this historical perspective holds true, not only in the known facts of what transpired in revolutionary Russia, but also in what is presently occurring in western, modern day democracies throughout Europe and the United States. The influx of progressive liberalism, unbridled migration intent on multiculturalism, increasing taxation that is destroying the middle class, and the effect of long-term professional politicians, have successfully induced the erosion of individual rights and liberties to an ever-increasing dependency on the state and its oppressive dictates.

Historically, grievances of a populace against the ruling powers have merit. Shortages of food, lack of common necessities, high taxes, unemployment and poor economies can by themselves, or in combination of two or more, often result in unrest that has reached massive scale. Current events in France, with the ‘Yellow Vest’ protests, are just one case in point. Division and disillusion in the United Kingdom are evident after the parliamentary government there is slow-walking the decisive vote of its citizens to leave the European Union. In the United States, disgust over professional and long-term politicians who seem to the masses as having no clue about the needs of its citizens outside of the national capitol, led to the election of the political outsider and billionaire, Donald Trump, as president. The angst from both parties against him has seriously divided the country into camps that are putting rights of free speech and self-expression in danger. The economic catastrophes in Greece and Italy have fomented unrest among the populaces, who have seen their state-granted entitlements and retirement programs disappear as their governments sink under mountains of debt. These are but a few examples of what appears to be a prophetic account by Pobedonostsev.

In the excerpt in question, Pobedonostsev declares that freedom is “the right to participate in the government of the State.” In the United States, it has been proven over time the republican form of government set up by the founders is the most effective in this regard. The election of 2016 is a partial proof, given that Donald Trump was assessed no more than a two percent chance of winning against his challenger, Hillary Clinton, the preferred candidate of America’s elite. It was what the west and east coast elitists refer to as the ‘fly over’ states that catapulted Trump to victory and has resulted in a firestorm of controversy ever since. The election of Trump and the resistance against him, and his supporters, has exposed the truth and clarity of Pobedonostsev’s claim the representatives of the people are not that at all, but rulers such as “any despot or military dictator”. The bureaucracy is in power and cannot be removed by peaceful or electoral means. Those who comprise it are firmly entrenched and, as the gentry prior to the Russian revolution, will fight with dedicated ferocity to maintain their position as overlords of society. The same holds true for those in the House and Senate, with many members having held their seats for decades, enriching themselves with every opportunity at the expense of the people. Pobedonostsev rightly predicted representatives of a democratic government would be “dexterous manipulators of votes”. It is a known fact that an incumbent is difficult to root out of office, for they have set up political machines to cater to their base and place fear among their constituency upon any challengers who arise to oppose them. They claim their tenure gives them more power to affect positive benefits in their districts and states, or provinces, and a newcomer would damage any progress made in the past.

 A parliamentary style government, such as is seen in most, if not all, other western democracies, decreases the citizen’s power of the vote even more. Prime Ministers are not elected by the people, but by their party and the coalitions of other parties they can manage to politically gather under their wing. In the United States, a person does not have to be a member of government to be elected president. However, in a parliamentary style government, no one can be Prime Minister who is not already a Minister of Parliament, as the Prime Minister position is not open to national, public selection. Ministers of Parliament, just as republican Congressmen and Senators, must be loyal to their party and its platforms if they are to be assigned to the prime committees of importance. By this reality, it can be argued that Pobedonostsev revealed the future of the lie of democracy, which is “the principle of the sovereignty of the people”.

It must be remembered that Konstantin Pobedonostsev was an elitist insider, having intimate access to two Russian emperors. It can be argued he was not an objective, independent observer of events. However, it can also be argued that history has proven his analysis to be correct. Over time, western democracies, both republican and parliamentary, have seemed to shift from being representative of citizens they were elected to serve, to being wealthy power-hungry rulers over a populace of subjects to be gleaned and herded like cattle.

In the case of Russia’s revolution, Pobedonostsev was also proven correct. Power, privilege and wealth was ensconced among the few, and the Marxist ideals of a utopian communistic state that ushered in the Soviet Union were never realized. The same occurred in China under Mao Tse Tung and in most other countries that adopted socialistic and communistic formulas. Arguably, it has only taken a few more decades for Pobedonostsev’s credentials as a prophet to come to light where capitalistic democracies are concerned.

In the prophet Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s vision of the image, he declared the Babylonian king was the head of gold. After him, all other leaders and forms of government would decrease in strength and effectiveness. Finally, it would be iron mixed with clay, a combination that is impossible when exposed to the light of physics. It is this depiction of democracy that is most telling when it comes to Pobedonostsev’s view. The people do not mix with power, and government by the people, of the people, and for the people, was always a bridge too far.

This is what I would like to see happen to Rod Rosenstein, Jim Comey, Peter Strzok, and a few others. Enough of this patty cake crap. Time to get to the truth.

Democrats Fiddle While Their Romes Burn

The latest Democrat darling, Ocasio-Cortez, wants to see a 70% tax on the rich. I agree. Let’s tax the rich into a black hole abyss of oblivion, never to be seen or heard from again. After all, that’s what they are already doing in states they control. Take Illinois, for example. Chicago has seen 3000 of its millionaires move out of state. The leftists’ answer to this and their 15 billion dollar deficit and soon to be ‘junk’ credit rating? A 32% state income tax hike. If it weren’t so ridiculous it would be laughable. This is why liberal/leftist-ism is a mental disorder. Stats show that in Chicago alone, 156 people move out of state every day (Bloomberg census analysis). A recent poll showed that 47% of those in Illinois want to move out. The tax burden is too great. And, eventually, there won’t be any people with real money they can tax. At the risk of being redundant, Maggie Thatcher said it best when she said...and I paraphrase, “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” In 2018, more than 100,000 have moved out of Illinois and only 50,000 moved in. I seriously doubt they will stay long. Here are the states with the largest, ongoing exodus:

1. New Jersey 2. Illinois 3. Connecticut 4. New York

What they all have in common is they are run by Democrat/socialist/liberal tax mongers. California and Michigan are not far behind, as people are being taxed to the point of poverty. A house in Houston that costs 250,000 dollars would go for two million in California, with property tax rates less than half of what people find in the Golden State. Detroit looks like a third world wasteland, and we have seen the photos of the tens of thousands of homeless in California. 

I challenge anyone to show me a successful Democratic led, liberal minded, socialist structured state in this country. All the Romes of the Democrats are burning, with Illinois coming close to being the first failed state in this country’s history.

Here’s the main problem with all of these Democratic voting morons moving to Red States. They still vote democrat! It’s like there’s a conspiracy to share the misery. In Texas, all of our largest cities are blue, and mainly because of the influx from California and other Blue States. Houston, Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio, El Paso; all of them vote democrat. They don’t have the brains of an amoeba to know it was these very policies that drove them from their homes, and stubbornly believe that maybe the socialist liberals will get it right in their new homes. You can’t fix stupid, as they say.

And here we are in 2019, with a Democratically controlled Congress, and what is the FIRST thing on their plate? Raising taxes. Thank God we have a Republican controlled Senate who can stop the madness. And even if they pass a tax increase, we have a President who will veto it and the Senate will be hard pressed to garner the votes to overturn it. Then there’s the push to abolish the Electoral College. If they are successful, it will mean mob rule, where the majority will win the White House. There will be no reason for any of us in the ‘fly over’ states to even vote. It will turn us into an absolute democracy, instead of a republic by the people and for the people. The EC was set up to keep that very thing from happening; where the minority could not have a say as to who sits in the executive office. Look at the electoral votes each state has, which is predicated on population. Look at how many representatives each state has, which is predicated by population. Already, California, New York, Ohio and others have more than any other state. For all that is holy, Wyoming only has one representative. They also want to make it where the Senate doesn’t have two senators for each state. No, they want to make it where the least populace states do not have an equal say. If you can’t see that the Democrats want to unravel our government and our Constitution and strip America from being a republic, then you are blind or anti-America or both. 

Then there’s Nancy ‘Bubblehead’ Pelosi, giving her acceptance speech as the new speaker. At the end, while all the other bubbleheads are applauding, she can be overheard saying, “I think I missed a couple of pages.” Good grief. She can’t even get her speech correct, and it’s WRITTEN DOWN IN FRONT OF HER!!!

We are at a crossroad of ruin if the Democrats are not stopped. And the smoke from their fires that you see from afar will soon be clogging our own lungs where we live. And what are they doing? Fiddling with our rights, our liberties, our freedoms and our money; doing all they can to bring this country to its knees, or further...prostrate before them as rulers, and not representatives.

Macron Fiddles While France Burns

Jupiter, we have a problem! How’s that Nanny State going for you over there? Cough, cough. I can’t see you for the smoke. Cough, Cough. Is your globalist world view making progress? Cough, Cough. MY EYES! MY EYES! Now I can’t see you for the gas! Is your ‘Let ‘em All In’ policy working? Cough, Cough. Just give your people another dose of socialistic liberalism and buy more tear gas and stun grenades. Let Pelosi come over and give them some of your crumbs.

I have been to Paris twice, and it is a beautiful city of wonderful history. I have been to the top of the Eiffel Tower and viewed the city below, and I will never forget the sight. I have been to Lille, France, and traveled the country side by train, and France is a beautiful country. I have been to Brussels and Bruges, and I have been to Amsterdam and Rotterdam. All are wonderful places to visit, but are now places of discontent among the people who live there. The reason is they have been sold a bill of goods that continues to cost them with little benefit in return. They have been told a socialistic lie and in horror they have finally awakened to that fact. But, they can thank one Frenchman for the uprising.

Macron has done something nobody else has been able to do. He’s started a European riot fest. The Dutch and the Belgians are now up in arms. The Swedes are starting to wake up. The Italians already have. Who would have thought the Italians would be first in anything? Yes, the European Union is fracturing. Great Britain’s people want out, but their Macron-ist government is fighting them tooth and nail to stay in this cluster. I don’t know why Macron doesn’t use his Mommy complex and ask his wife for advice. She certainly has a lot more life experience than he does. She will probably be the first First Lady to actually use the phrase, “Let them eat cake!” We all know Marie Antoinette never said it.

The French are doing what the French do best. Fight against each other. Lord knows they can’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag with anyone else. But, here we’re seeing a new kind of fight. It’s a fight that should make us all stand up and pay attention...since the French don’t have enough money to pay attention. Maggie was right, and I’m paraphrasing here...”The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” I’ll take it even further. The problem with globalism is that you let millions of people come into your country for all the handouts at the expense of your own citizens, who have no intention of assimilating into your culture, and want to dramatically change your country into a third world garbage dump; and then you wonder why the people start rioting? The problem with multiculturalism is that it destroys the original culture that was there to begin with, and then you wonder why the original people start rioting? It’s a gas, gas, gas, as the song goes, when everything you believe in starts going up in smoke, but the picture remains clear...you were wrong at the very beginning!

What’s funny is how the French companies are overtly corpulent in money. Their oil company, TOTAL, had no problem paying me on a project in China, the only American on it, a grand total of $1800 a day, for fourteen months. That’s U.S., by the way. TOTAL is one of the richest oil companies in the world, and their employees made nothing compared to me, an ex-pat, and an American at that. During the four years I was in the UK, my client was TOTAL, and I was making $1200 a day on that job. Then I went down to Nigeria for TOTAL, bringing home...after taxes...$36,000 per month. So, if the average Frenchman wants to know where his money is going, why it isn’t going to French citizens and retirees, get the companies there to publicly show what they are willing to pay non-citizens. 

These protests aren’t about a gas tax. It’s about government corruption, corporate corruption, and hoarding of money by the fat cats and elitists in their society. In a way, America protested about our government when we elected Trump, a fat cat elitist himself, but who was saying the things we all wished someone would say for us, and then started delivering as best he could. They hate him because he isn’t bought and paid for by the establishment. Macron said everything the French were wanting to say, then laid a big, rotten egg on them. The fat cat elitists and deep state government bureaucrats here are doing all they can to bring Trump down. On the reverse side of the coin, the citizens of France are doing all they can to bring Macron down, and I hope they succeed.

This should be a lesson to all of us. Make work available for your own people and pay them a decent wage. I did not want to go to the UK or to China or to Nigeria, but there was nobody in the States who would pay me like that, or even close to that. I don’t even need that much. I was laughing all the way to the bank. I could do with just a slight smile. But, I found out that European companies were willing to pay for my expertise, and quite extravagantly. Being a capitalist, I took advantage of it. I don’t wait for my government to help me. I help myself. Just like what the French are doing now. Macron didn’t come through with what he promised, exactly like all who came before him over the last several decades, and now the French are taking matters into their own hands. What they need is another Robespierre to stand up and bring terror on the present government. A mob can only go so far, and are more dangerous than an eloquent spokesman. They just don’t need their Robespierre to go insane on them, like the last one did.

What I like about the French...which is very little (I like their companies)...is that they don’t mind rising up when they’re down. The Venezuelans only want to run from their problems. But when it comes to the French being mad at the French? It gets exciting, and changes are made. Macron has already folded his cards, reversing all of his idiotic tax edicts that injured the working class, for now. Next move is to oust him for one that will truly be for the people of France; who are the FRENCH. What they have now is an embarrassment and a puppet of the establishment that will only lead them to more ruin the longer he stays in office. Let him fiddle at his villa on the Riviera; not in the halls of government in Paris, while France burns down around him.
