Fred Hiatt and the Washington Post

Typically of the liberal press, Fred is at it again with an editorial called, "Get to the Truth about Russian hacking in U.S. election"

   Fred is whining about the election, of course. He says Dems are angry that Obama didn't get onto the Russians quickly enough for the hacking. From an evidence point of view, as opposed to speculation with an agenda, that is a hard thing to prove. If you can't prove something but you use it as part of your argument, what have you done to your position? You have  weakened your position, perhaps substantially. So, Did Putin contribute? Who knows. Fred, it was not a good idea to use that.
   He said that Hillary's position was weakened by the fact that she did not satisfy voters' desire for a change candidate. He did not have to dig very deeply for that nuggett.
    Fred says that in some cases, Trump is "summoning" conservative politicians who resorted to questioning him way, way beyond his credentials. Mitt Romney, for example. I was personally offended by Romney's treatment of  Trump. I wouldn't have blamed Trump if he had kicked Romney's ass right back out of the building...but let me say this. If Hillary had won, I would say that her past ungraciousness could be expected to continue, super bitch that she is. To assume that she would be gracious is a mistake. So why make the point about Trump? Because it is one of only a few points that are available. This is what the Democrats' weapons cache consists of. barbs and unsubstantiated/false news like Russian Hacking. You will all end up with egg on your face if it turns out that the leak was from the DNC. Ya know something, Fred. I sincerely hope that you and your "world history creators" can get back to a better way of framing the world as we see it to something that better resembles the truth.
   I was going to blog this, but I will just send it to you. It actually makes me queazy to read it. Jim Self   jimself1954@gmail.com
   

Seal the Southern Border, Save Chicago Children

   Illegal drugs are coming across the Southern border every day. The border is porous. Agents say that they stop a percentage of it but no one can know how much gets across and many think that most gets across.

   Drug cartels have set up in border states to receive the drugs and distribute them. That means moving the drugs to the large markets...in large cities...like Chicago...the murder capital of America. 

   Gangs are organized crime with a twist. Instead of older criminals they consist of disaffected kids ...to sell these illegal drugs and each other for sex.  Whoever gets in their way gets shot. 

   Would anyone disagree with the logic here?

    If you will bother to Google Chicago shooting deaths you will see the numbers.  It's not the guns. It's the drugs. Drugs from our porous southern border. 

    We need to seal that border with adequate people, resources and an impenetrable barrier. Until we do that, we cannot hope for change of the deplorable conditions our neighbors in Chicago and elsewhere live and die in every day.
     Donald Trump knows this and that is one reason why sealing the border is so important. we have seen the half measures the previous administration have used in border security. Folks, it's more than illegals coming across to work and send money home...or to make an anchor baby. People are killed every day in Chicago and other cities because of what is going on with this border. We need to fix it. Please support Donald Trump and our government representatives who will face the mountain of liberal objections over this issue.  

If Hillary Lived Next Door, You would Know What Is Wrong With Her.

  What do you know about manic-depression and bi-polar disease? Do yourself a favor and Google it. Then compare it to Hillary Clinton's behavior.
   I have known people for whom I could not lend a helping hand...to help them stay out of trouble. They repelled my efforts. Yes, I figured they were crazy. It was too painful to remain friends with them. And they self destructed.
   I do not know if Hillary Clinton fits that bill, but in my mind it would explain everything that I know and suspect about her if it were true. Look it up. Think about it.
   We use words like ego mania and criminal and sinister to describe her. I am thinking that hellishly bi-polar covers it all. Until the campaign she wasn't seen all that much. But since she came out into the public in such a large way, I have seen bits and pieces of what I feel, uncomfortably, looks like an unstable personality. The wide eyes, the coughing spells, the fainting,  the seemingly uncontrolled laughing, the failure of her handlers to keep her from saying some of the stupidest things.  So, take it for what it is. Like the song says...I may be wrong but I may be right.
   Anyway, I don't think she can stand the scrutiny of being President. She'll most likely try to reject the Secret Service from her White House. She doesn't trust them...to keep her secrets...about her illness if she has it, and her business. And rightfully so. If she wins, the White House will be a very lonely place. But she can't last. She will be in the lime light among all of her favor hungry donors and not a true friend in the world.  With no one to trust,  she will break down. Bill Clinton will take the reins and will again be in control of our government.   

When US Leadership Denies Ability To Lead, Bad Things Happen

http://www.speaker.gov/general/why-white-house-oppose-bipartisan-syrian-sanctions
The above URL pretty much says it.

   Meanwhile, from Aleppo, citizens are tweeting on phones that they and their children are being bombed and may not survive the night.
http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2016/10/04/syria-aleppo-girl-bana-al-abed-karadsheh-pkg.cnn

   In Syria, we have a dictator who is as "crazy as a shit house mouse",  running a military against it's own people, using chemical weapons and huge barrel bombs and now has Russia helping to destroy it's own people from the air.  Millions are dying or running away to other countries, and our President is running the other way, making excuses for not leading. That's what Obama is doing...making excuses for not leading. Who can blame him? After all, he is a community activist....he is out of his depth.
   Obama's indecisiveness should  evoke fear...but I don't think Obama is smart enough to realize how much trouble he is in.  I cannot feel sorry for him. He is so busy basking in his own arrogance he can't see that we could and should have done things differently and better and that his blindness and ineptitude and weakness  has led us to a hell of a situation..that the military warned him of beforehand. EVERYONE ELSE can see it. Not him.  History is going to say that he tried to lead  arrogantly in the form of the blasphemous Reverend Jeremiah Wright...failed miserably... and fell while trying to destabilize conservatives with silly, liberal distractions...while the world rolled right over him. The only person doing his job in this administration is Josh Earnest...Obama's apologist... and he is a busy man!

    Putin realized that Obama wasn't frozen by fear and ineptitude...something that would have mean't he was dangerous and unpredictable. No. He realized that Obama was just stupid.  Putin knows for certain that Obama will do nothing to stop him no matter what he does.

    That is scary.

    This may be the defining danger of being so comfortable with yourself that one doesn't have to listen to anyone else.We ALL know a few people who are like that. They already know everything so they don't learn from their mistakes...and they keep on making the same mistakes over again...and blaming others while denying responsibility. There goes Hillary Clinton, too. Same deal. And enough brainless twats and unemployed pajama wearing cheezit junkies buy into the  CLICK HUNGRY MEDIA poison, throwing gasoline on Trump at every turn and laughing their asses off. The American electorate is about to replace one idiot with another, a job well done. The lady and little girl in Aleppo may be dead. Meanwhile Putin sits back drinking top shelf American whiskey deciding who he is going to attack next.
 
 

They Have No Soul

   It is time for conservatives in this country to be strong in our beliefs in ourselves to make the right decision... and wise enough to unflinchingly support our candidate, Donald J. Trump. We are battling Hillary AND the Media AND Wall Street. They are profit driven and that's ok. But they have no morals. They really shouldn't be involved in politics. Most of the time, business is good for us. It is what makes this country so powerful and great to live in. But immoral businesses corrupting politicians, and screwing with our futures, is dangerous and wrong. That's why we need campaign finance reform, to keep Wall Street from buying and fashioning more Hillaries and Bills. These three, as they are, this trifecta...has no soul. It cannot be allowed to win. Be strong, be still. Be confidant. Stand tall and proud for your children and grandchildren. Set an example for them to follow.
   Otherwise, our offspring will be facing a 40, 50 trillion dollar debt and an immoral country. It's already heading that way. Even a liberal fool can see that. Let's turn it around. Vote for Donald Trump. 

Our Future Is Largely In The Hands of the Greedy Media

In answer to a question on the Huffington Post liberal rag...

Don't you think the answer to this question, in most cases, is a function of Media activity of one candidate over the other? If Media makes it appear that one candidate has a large advantage over the other, there is the effect of discouraging voters of the perceived underdog to the point where they may not vote, certainly. That is one purpose of the liberal media. Also, they are not so interested in the outcome of the election for the good of the country as they are concerned about which leader will develop an environment that will generate to most "clicks of controversy", making advertising profits. And there, liberals assaulting free enterprise, Capitalism, and Democracy...in favor of socialism and depression...are the natural choices for leadership and election coverage. It's Media profits driven. Now you can explain why things have gotten so bad to your grandchildren who will face their 40, or 50 trillion dollar debt.

Liberals Are Victims of White Christian Men

White, Christian men are the only population that have all of the faults...like working for a living, controlling everything. Of course, white Christian women work just as hard as men. And Black people work hard, too. But they are less targeted as causing the problems of the world. It's the white Christian men who really need to go. We need to just go die, and let the liberals form their Utopia. Blacks, white women, Native Americans, movie stars, LGBTQ... can all live in peaceful coexistence, happy that us white Christian men are all dead and gone forever.  It will be a big party. Right up until one group takes control. Then enslavement. After all. SOMEBODY has to work. Liberals are shallow and can't think that far ahead. So, to hell with the debt, says Hillary. We will make heaven on earth and tax the stock market and everyone else into oblivion. As long as the single issue voters are blind to what is happening, we will be fine. And with the media basically blind to anything except huge profits...powered by "clicks from controversy", everything will be rosy. Once the "Working Class" realizes that they all are making the same money no matter how hard they work, of course, they will need more incentives, like whips, threats of starvation...just take away their ration cards for a week or so...they will be easily managed. Everything will be great in Utopia. Ya know,  Liberals wouldn't have to do this at all if it weren't for white Christian men.

Hillary Is Trying To Fool Her Way To The Presidency

   Schultz was fired. Hillary feels free to hire her right away. Intelligent politicians worry about perceptions. Hillary thrives on controversial activity...and conservative reactions to them. Hillary is playing a game that she thinks she can win because of all of the accolades her "fans" are throwing her way. She is drunk with celebrity. The more we criticize her for her controversial actions, the louder her fans get reacting defensively in her behalf. She thinks that is a good thing...and we think she has a hell of a following. And we are both wrong. The noise is amplified by the media which is profiting off of every byte. Protesters are paid, DNC did have paid people to fill chairs, more than likely. Her celebrity is largely a sham, consisting of bands of single issue young people, some of which are old enough to vote. And the more noise we hear the more overwhelmed we feel about her popularity...and her election seems more probable. We are being fooled. Of course, the more Trump reacts to liberal/media attacks, the sillier ALL of the liberal mouthpieces make him look, creating the illusion that he is a buffoon, un-electable and making us feel helpless. Hillary counts on that every minute of every day. 
   The bottom line will come when voters from South Carolina, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Texas, and yes, Ohio, Pennsylvania...when the big states other than New York and California...when we get our parents and grandparents into the cars and we all go down to the polls and defeat her in an historic landslide.  
   I don't have to beat her up. She does that to herself everyday. But let me remind everyone that  a non vote is a vote for Hillary, a weak manipulator of fools in the company of a click hungry Media that yearns for click baiting controversy and huge profits.  Copy and paste this editorial or write your own. Get words like these out there so people can read them. Talk to your relatives. Inform them about what is happening and why it is so important to hold to the line and vote in November for Donald Trump. Don't be afraid of him. The media is calling him a neo-fascist because he wants a better deal for trade...an example of Media distortion about the conservative candidate...painting him as if he was Mussolini. I implore you to listen to what he actually says and judge for yourself. Don't take the Media propaganda as truth. Remember, we are 20 trillion dollars in debt and we CAN go broke. The breadlines of the 1930's can return. The prosperous futures of your grandchildren are evaporating and you cannot see it. 

Rules for Radicals and What It Means To You

  Saul Allinsky's Rules For Radicals is a handbook about how to circumvent established traditions, gaining power, and undermining the capitalistic economy of the United States of America. His goals were to mire the country in debt, frame the intelligent government leaders and political parties in anything they could to make them look dishonest, stupid, greedy, immoral...whatever they could do to discredit significant leadership and institutions in this country. The ultimate goal was to bring the economy down, causing complete collapse. And the crowning achievement would be what arose from the ashes...an egalitarian, collectivist heaven on earth. Utopia. If you don't believe it read the damn book.
   Hillary Clinton cannot hide the fact that she was a follower and admirer of Allinksy. Obama taught this stuff in Chicago.  I really don't see Hillary carrying a gun into Congress and having her way...but what I think she sees is the opportunity to break any rule, tell any lie, destroy any person in order to advance her political agenda. That comes right out of the book.
   Her agenda? God only knows. One thing she manages to do is attract large sums of money from political sources. That is SELLING ACCESS, clean and simple. It is greed and selfishness.
   She is using womens' rights as a platform and she has a great following, but where these are important issues of the day, here are HUGE issues of the day about which she has shown NO COMPETENCE. ZERO! Hell, she is lucky she is not in jail. She may yet end up there. One can only pray.
   I saw a video today...of a man holding an apparently happy dog...standing on the third or fourth or fifth story of a dwelling...and he dropped this happy dog off of this god damn building. Followed the dog all the way down. The dog hit, hard, and was screaming as the video ended.
   My point of this is to say that THAT is exactly what our liberal leadership  is and has been doing to our grandchildren. For every trillion dollars in debt they add you can take some number of our grandchildren off line. Drop them off the top of a building. Deny to them the opportunities that we have had. Take away their ability to "Be whatever they want to be". To own a home. To get a good, useful education. To have all of the kids they can support. To travel, see other places, meet other people in other countries. And in many cases, they will starve to death.  Because, at some point, this debt will cause our economy to crash, just exactly like it would in your own household if you borrowed money every month to pay for normal bills. In the long run there is no difference. It is a natural law and it is written in stone. Imagine what would happen if Social Security checks were cut in half and in many cases denied completely. If SNAP went away because the US had to use those funds to pay the interest and principle payments on our back breaking debt. If we had to cut back our armed forces... and liberal governments like Russia went back in to the Baltics, Germany, Poland and China into South East Asia and Eastern Europe, enslaving those people.
  That's what this is all about, you know. ISIS is all about life and death control of females, primarily, and money, secondly. The importance of the US military is to maintain a force that is strong enough to prevent liberal governments from attacking other realms, enslaving their populations and consuming their natural resources.  Most of the man made changes in this world were built by slaves. Right up until about 1865 in this country. That hasn't been so long ago.  Slaves are a natural resource just like oil. That's something to study, if you haven't already. We had better study it, or else we may find ourselves in this world with Russia and China and no one else to deal with. Our strength is what keeps the wolves at bay. As we add debt we become weaker and weaker and finally so weak that we don't matter anymore. That has ALWAYS been the situation. When they are ready, they will come and enslave us.
 
 
   I have been full of adrenaline ever since I saw that video.  Please don't go looking for it. It's like looking into hell...and then falling in. The man makes money every time the video is watched, I would wager, Just take my word for it. And I hope that person takes it off your site.
   

   Hillary Clinton AND Barack Obama hate each other. But they are acting like lovers because it suits their political intentions. If you put two rats in a box, sooner or later one will eat the other one. That is what will happen when Hillary realizes that she will lose unless she repudiates Obama and his quack leadership. In the meantime remember that if you do not vote for Donald Trump, your's will be a vote for her. Plain and simple.
  

Sealing the Southern Border Will Starve Gangs of their "Products to Sell" and Need for So Many Guns

    The flow of illegal drugs and illegal immigrants into our country will be slowed by a majority percentage when we take effective control of our southern border.
    Problems caused by uncontrolled immigration are rampant, obvious and expensive. I don't know any sane person that would disagree with that.
    The easy availability of illegal drugs to use and sell is the fuel of criminal youth activity which naturally leads to gang activity. If you shut down the drug trade, you shut down the gang activity. Most of it, anyway. We will still have other, more or less traditional forms of vice for them to to use but illegal drugs may be more than 90% of the driving force behind gang activity. Its some high percentage. And with gangs come guns and murder.
   Heroin, cocaine, meth, marijuana, ecstasy...they are all coming in in quantity across the southern border. Even a liberal can see that. If we slow the flow of drugs, gangs won't have as much to sell and kill each other over in Chicago and other "gang possessed" communities. So, hey. If you really want to do something about gun violence in this country, seal the southern border and get serious about illegal drugs. 

   When a liberal says we should legalize drugs you must ask yourself, Do I really want my kids and my grand children using those drugs? Driving on the drugs? Driving on the same roads with other drivers on those drugs?Making daily decisions while on those drugs? Addicted to those drugs? Suffering from the long term and often deadly effects of those drugs? Folks, this is an IQ test. Legalizing drugs is NOT the answer. Of course, you didn't hear the Democrats say anything about stopping illegal drugs, did you?
   Did you hear the Democrats say anything about the southern border problems? I have had enough of hearing about bathroom choices,  equality of marriage for our 3% population of gays for God's sake! Please, let's address some of the HUGE issues and do SOMETHING good AND useful AND critical for the entire country for a change and seal the damn border!
   And  please don't let the Media scare you away from Trump. Read what he actually says and not what the Media says what he said. There always seems to be a  world of difference between the two.

Anthropogenic Climate Change is Chapter 1 of Agenda 21

   Agenda 21 looks to me like a typical European Socialist pie in the sky. Take a look at the sites for the key words and you will see the UN desire for control all over it. Remember, G77 are the under developed countries of the world.
   I think the anthropogenic nonsense of  global climate change, again, a European dream...pushing a bloody bucket of power stealing ideas of the UN and Socialists of the world. They are not true, they are lies pushed by the UN, by John Kerry and by Barack Obama, both of whom will soon be gone, praise Jesus......and they are, I suggest, part  of this Agenda 21. It fits. Agenda 21 had to rear it's ugly, bloody head at some point. Well, here it is. Read all about it. Educate yourself. There is no hurry. Just type in Agenda 21 and read a little. These people are power hungry socialists and it shows. 

What I Like As National Political Priorities

1. A balanced US Federal budget. Total tax revenues could be limited as a percentage of GNP. Without a balanced budget there is no use in continuing the conversation because sooner or later debt spending will lead to collapse of the dollar and the economy. That way the only way to get more revenue is to grow the economy or raise the percentage.
2. Fix the immigration system by legislation.
3. Build the wall to stop illegal drugs from flowing into the US. and illegal entry across the US-Mexican border.
4. Continue to adapt defensive methods to suit the new war footing with ISIS and terrorist organizations. Destroy them vigorously.
5. Until anthropogenic causes of climate change are proven, by the vast majority of scientists, and not by the very few agenda controlled group in the UN,  NO funding of anything related to this claim will be provided by the US taxpayer. If we want to provide clean water and electricity to third world countries there is nothing stopping us. Do not ask us to allow the government to cheat us out of what we earn.
6. JOBS! Not infrastructure jobs which cost more than anyone can imagine and actually employ few. We need to smooth the way for small businesses to start up and grow. We should get our smartest people into this effort. We need to sit down together and determine what tax policies really keep corporations offshore and what we can do to reverse that. This is too important to leave to politicians. This has to be a private effort.

What else?

Comey Needs to Recuse the FBI and Democrats Need a New Candidate

   The FBI Director, James Comey, just proved that he does not have the courage to indict H. Clinton. That situation needs an independent investigator. To a large extent he is a victim of the Clinton Game...where their crimes of  yesterday...if they can delay prosecution long enough... those crimes will function as proof of their immunity to justice...and over time, those crimes  will fade in significance when compared to new developments. In the case of the Clintons, it's just more suspicious activities. Suspicion that would sink anyone else. Enormously convincing,  proven with evidence but without absolute, unassailable suspicions of conscious intent.
   Like Krauthammer said today...Comey could not make himself become the person that indicted a possible, though I do not believe she is, President elect, and change American History...The prospect of the pressure of a world of  vitriolic hate from the  "sharky" liberals...(Sharks have eyes but no intelligence)...was too much for him.
   So, Comey should recuse himself, Loretta should recuse herself...maybe have a threesome for lunch...Loretta, James and Bill. Loretta should appoint an independent panel of judges. Or maybe convene a Grand Jury. Leave it to someone with the courage to do their jobs. Make it quick. Perjury shouldn't be that hard to prove. Give the Democrats time to get back up from the floor,  finish their crying and choose another candidate.
   Despite all of the Media support and "apparent" popular following, I don't think she has a snowball's chance in hell. But I have been wrong before. Thanks for reading...and please share this. It would help us spread a word if we ever really need to.

Democrats Are Playing a Transparent Game

   There is no way in Hell Bill Clinton walked into a 30 minute meeting with Loretta Lynch not expecting consequences. No way. Then again,  if it can't be proven...and sometimes even if it can be proven...that doesn't mean they have to admit to anything.
   Loretta Lynch had to withdraw from influencing the FBI's decision whether to indict or not to indict Hillary Clinton. I think those consequences were exactly what everyone wanted to happen.
   The first headline I saw was that Hillary's safety net has been withdrawn. That's the Media's contribution.
   Then news about Clinton asking the AG to hold up on the last of the emails which were internal for 27 months. How is this part of the overall strategy?  Not sure. It could be that there is a lot of bad news in those emails. That's what it looks like. If it is...then this is a last ditch effort to save her.
   That thought aside...if you think about it, Hillary's bottom line is to be able to run for President. She doesn't care if she's indicted. But she wants to be the first female yadada.
   Bill will do anything for her to win. They'll have their funding again, selling access to US power...and, of course, to the US President. Bill will be the defacto President again. She has already said she wants Bill to run foreign policy. He is excited about that! You bet!
   How about Obama? What does he want? He wants to stay in the game, for one thing. He has shown that he does not like the Clintons.  But he is a political game player. He threw Hillary a bone to keep her quiet...with the Secretary of State position. The trouble she has produced is just gravy.
   The main point here is that if his own attorney general is held responsible for indicting or NOT indicting Hillary Clinton, he will get burned either way. His continued influence depends on NOT doing anything stupid...to use his words.
   So, maybe he called Bill...Maybe Hillary, too. Maybe he said that if Bill would attend a short, publicly obvious meeting with Lynch...she would then be disqualified to act for or against Hillary should the FBI advise indictment. That let's Obama off the hook. AND...if she does this and is allowed to go ahead and run...Obama will campaign for her! Of course he is doing exactly that. Critics might say that he was going to have to do that anyway.  We all know that there is campaigning...and then there is CAMPAIGNING! Don't be naive.
   If she is indicted, one of two things happens. Obama pardons her...and maybe she can go ahead and run. Lets face it. Most Americans don't have a clue how bad her classified leak potential actually was...especially her "light minded" supporters, which most of them are. She wouldn't care, as long as she could still run. If they do this.  Of course, the OTHER possibility...if she is indicted...is to push her out...and in walks Joe Biden. Good ole Joe. Hell...EVERYBODY loves Joe Biden...but that depends on how the pardon goes. Obama has a bunch of light weight, young liberals working for him. He hasn't anyone who can really predict how something like this will go. So he has to leave his options open.
   If Joe wins, then the Secretary of State's job...or the vice President's office... is available to Obama. He'll still have his influence...he can travel and play golf anywhere in the world...with and without Michelle...he can make hundreds of millions of dollars selling access to US power and decisions just like Hillary has done...and the world...and US power and prestige will be his to mine...like gold in a Colorado creek.
   Is there anyone in the world who can't see this happening just like that?
   I still say there  is no way in Hell Bill Clinton walked into a 30 minute meeting with Loretta Lynch not expecting consequences. No way in Hell.

Putin is Using Refugees As Weapons

   It can't be clearer. Putin made Obama back down and kept Assad in power. Assad is murdering his people. Survivors are coming here and to Europe. Putin made this happen. Don't forget it. The outrage from allowing millions of refugees to flood into European countries made their leaders look like floundering idiots. Putin is sitting back smiling. Think about this. Putin knows his oil revenue is not there anymore. If Russia is living on credit...that's not good. When people get hungry...that is how wars start. The Brits are pulling out and the dunderheads in other countries are calling for more of the same. That sound is the European Union splintering.
   Putin is NOT afraid of Obama. He does not respect him. He has a free hand. Just look at what is going on in the Med. He is harassing our military like it's a game. He wants to show us he CAN do it and get away with it. Child's play. If Reagan was President, things would be different.
   My point? If we have Hillary things like this will be MUCH WORSE. Putin could throw us out of the Med. Israel is on the far end of the Med...isolated, vulnerable. There are a lot of things Putin could do if we weren't around.
   This election is about more than getting the first woman as President. The world is splintering and we need vision and leadership...not someone who is selling access to US power and prestige..

Occam's Razor

Occam's razor (or Ockham's razor) is a principle from philosophy. Suppose there exist two explanations for an occurrence. In this case the simpler one is usually better. Another way of saying it is that the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation is.

Occam's razor - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The foundation for conservative thinking.

Maybe we should write this down and keep it in view all of the time.

In the same place where we keep the notions: Can't see the forest for the trees. Keep it simple, Stupid. Don't go around your back to get to your nose. 

   We have been constantly and endlessly flooded with controversy for the last 7+ years by Mr. Obama and his cult followers, this includes the media...his "pivoting" from one issue to another...stoking the media fire...creating headlines...in our faces every single day. I am so very, very glad his face will cease to come into my home through the TV set. I will be able to watch the news again. If we don't wish to return to our present state of insanity, maybe a lesson or two. 

   There are millions of 20 somethings in this country who stay in their pajamas most of the day, pinned to their telephones and computers their parents pay for, passing opinions on the net, passing for adults...but really not so much. This has been his audience...his echo chamber. 

   While stirring and lighting the fires under this devil's orchestra, gave them something to do, a group to which they could belong, some credibility and payoff for being low information wise asses. 

   This liberal storm of protest and undignified verbosity we have been suffering for the last 7 years has irritated and awakened and pissed off the conservatives in this country who just want to be left the alone. Therein may lie the lesson for us all to learn. To keep it simple, fate cannot enter our world as a liberal tornado, lighting the fires of the sarcastic, rude, computer savvy and verbally accomplished but common sense absent minded, single issue youth...WITHOUT lighting off the conservative components of society. I am thinking that it takes a hell of a lot of crap and time to get the conservatives angry...to get that dog off of his warm bed...but when it does the conservatives WILL ACT to put down all of this noise...hence, Donald Trump. That's "Occam's Razor" thinking.

   The present administration...it feels good not to say his name...hasn't destroyed the country...not yet...but he has made us angry...and we conservatives are seeing that the fuse of this bomb that can take us all down has been lit...the 20 trillion dollar fuse....and it is time to put our parental foot down and squash this varmint with the tools that we have available. Donald Trump is the candidate that this free wheeling system has given to us. Major politicians have joined in with their support. The latest is Marco Rubio. Personally I wish he would run for VP. It's time for all of us to join Trump. There is no punishment worse than electing a Hillary/Bill Clinton Presidency supported by all of the "Me" generation and none of the "Us" generation.  

Whose Lie Is Most Attractive

   Some people are allowed to say things that are competely useful to them but are completely and utterly false.
    It's interesting that when citizens of totalitarian countries,  North Korea in this case, escape to Democratic countries like South Korea, the totalitarians say they were kidnapped. The South Koreans say they want to defect. Who to believe?
    The truth may not be recoverable as long as each party claims their side of the story. It doesn't matter what the escapees say. Their responses could have been coerced.
    This is an important issue.  People die from chemical weapons attacks in Syria and no one claims responsibility...everyone is innocent and points to the other guy. No one is held responsible. It works.
     Politicians do the same thing. Remember when Bill Clinton was being accused of consorting with a young intern in the White House and Hillary said the accusations were a "Right Wing Conspiracy"? She knew her husband was guilty and still laid that lie down as if they were morally untarnished and Monica was a lying tramp. In the end his half truth of  "I never had sex with that woman" because oral sex is not sex, just to refresh your memory of a  miserable moment in time for our country, stood as a good enough stopping point for the Democrats.
     The lies that flowed from the White House and  Hillary as Secretary Of State after Benghazi were more disinformation...sophomoric as they were. Everyone knows she and President Obama tried to color this thing so that no responsibility would be cast upon them. This is another example of even with astounding evidence of the reality of what happened, where the truth cannot be questioned except by sheer audacity, people are allowed to get away with causing terrible things to happen to good people without punishment...without consequences.
     Sometimes withholding information is just as bad as laying down a lie to hide the truth. When  our government gives something to a cast of Americans or immigrants, that something must be taken from someone else. That is true of money, rights...pretty much anything. This is written in stone. When they create an entitlement they really should express the cost of the new policy, source of the funding, and how it will effect the overall financial health of the country. Some of this information cannot be determined precisely or generally. That information should be expressed as well. Withholding it leaves the peoples' representatives as well as the people themselves unable to make  intelligent decisions. Remember when Nancy Pelosi said of the ACA, "Let's pass it so we can see what's in it!". That is an example of a politician whose intelligence has peaked and dwindled, leaving only the "Democrat/Tax and Spend"  cult member in it's place. 

If You Build It They Will Come...well not so much.

 Chinese developers act as if "If you build it, they will come." This isn't Hollywood and these aren't baseball fields. Building projects must be based on a reasonable projection of demand. Wishful thinking doesn't get it. Where do those dollars come from? Who will lose?

Builders will be bankrupted.

Investors who buy the bonds from Developers and the Government.

Chinese Middle class. Regular people trying to make their money work for them just like all of us do...buying into developers' schemes...buying stocks and bonds.. and losing when developers can't sell their "new" properties. Many times these are parts of schemes which are designed/sold as very attractive sites with pools and shopping centers , schools, etc. which were never built...and hence were never sold. 

and the Chinese Government...who bails out the developers/banks who finance the developers bad ideas.

Foreign investors buying into this grand scheme...keep in mind the high predictions of growth in China...by the Chinese Government. 

Without growth we can't attract capital. Without growth they may as well shut down their stock market. So they lie about the growth. 

Sooner or later they all recognize that no one is buying their stuff...and they all start suing each other for making false promises to each other...false because they all are derived from assumed demand...which is just not there. 

The lesson: Demand is the fuel behind an economy. Government can't create demand for anything. Only people can do that. Socialism is bound to fail because of that. If the Government lies about demand it will have excess capacity/supply with no buyers and the economy will stumble and may fail. There is no way around it. 

It's Not That Liberals Are Stupid...They are Just Not Paying Attention...Maybe.

   Amazed at this Presidential election going on, and what has happened in this country over the past 20 years, I have wondered aloud if it is really possible that upwards of 50% of Americans are just plain idiots. That's a stretch, though. Not well thought out...maybe.  Maybe what's happening is that we have a slew of voters who, for whatever reason, are involved emotionally in one single issue and they vote that way to the exclusion of everything else. They are the ones who would be complaining about the lumpiness of their mattress on the Titanic as it slipped beneath the waves. They do not have their eye on the ball, so to say.
   I do have faith, though...in the American voter. In Donald Trump ,maybe what we have is an expressive habits that are not so polished and edited that the message gets lost. In Cruz, too...I see passion. I like both of them. I can vote for either one.
   The Media? Maybe it's not that they fear passion. Maybe it is that they love passion. They can sell liberal causes that are the grocery store of single issue voters easily with passion and love. I mean, most of these people are not real, educated journalists. Their concerns are to put money in their pockets..keeping a job.  That means painting a picture that sells their media...doing what their bosses and corporate executives tell them to do. That's pretty  clear. Most of the time, if you follow the money, you'll figure it out.
   While the media translates passion for conservative values as a science of denying nutrition to babies, it is interesting that they can deny life to a fully formed 20 week fetus (nine weeks from survival outside the womb) while maintaining their reputation for fighting for the  rights of the downtrodden...right up to and until you reach the point where they decide who is going to pay for everything in their agendas. Then they attack conservatives who react negatively to liberals throwing this country under the financial bus.
   You know, it's incredible, this back and forth,  but it is getting predictable. Maybe the fact that so many millions of Americans are willing to overlook Trump's lack of polish is a sign that these voters are beginning to understand how much single issue voters are hurting this country.
    Are they liberals? Huh? Are they stupid? Could that be it? I think they are just not paying attention.  Give them time. Most of them will grow up, maybe.
