LINDSEY GRAHAM SHOWS HIS TRUE COLORS

Lindsey Graham, current Senator from South Carolina, retired Air Force Colonel, media darling, and one of the most conniving and opportunistic politicians on Capital Hill. He was recently pranked by two Russian pranksters pretending to be the Turkish Minister of Defense. Not realizing he was being pranked, he unwittingly revealed his true opinion in regards to the Turkish assault on the Kurds in Syria. President Trump pulled US forces away from the Kurdish areas in Syria, in order for Turkey to invade Syria and massacre as many Kurdish people as possible. Senator Graham, and his fellow Republicans on Capital Hill, have been publicly opposed to Trump's decision. However, it was all a lie! The pranksters recorded the unscrupulous Lindsey Graham supporting Trump's decision, declaring that the Kurds are a threat to Turkey, and that Turkey should do what it must to fix the problem.

Now my dear readers, we can understand why we must not trust politicians. They publicly declare one thing, while privately supporting the exact opposite. How many times, and on how many issues, has Lindsey Graham deceived his constituents by lying to their faces? He and his cronies in DC have abandoned the Kurds, who have been some of staunchest allies of the US in Syria, to the bloodthirsty Turks that will happily massacre anyone that gets in their way.

Lindsey Graham should be publicly shamed for his ruthless dishonesty and his abandonment of the Kurdish people.

ANOTHER FAIL AT CNN

Gabrielle Sorto, writing for CNN, managed to slip a serious error past the editors. But, the editors are not to blame, they are probably too young to know better. 

The purpose of the article was to cover the Chowchilla school bus kidnappers. However, the writer claimed this crime which occurred in 1976, was the inspiration for the movie "Dirty Harry" which was released to theaters in 1971. Did the script writer for Dirty Harry have some means of seeing the future? Hmm..... there is obviously a problem there, somewhere. I'm certain CNN will be deleting this article, as soon as the adults in the room realize how badly they screwed up.

This slip should be warning, the folks working in the media are just as prone to mistakes as anyone else. The titles "journalist" or "writer" do not give someone greater wisdom, knowledge, or intelligence than anyone else. There are far too many people that idolize journalists and members of the media, people like Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather are held to very high esteem by these press idolizers.

  If Gabrielle Sorto and his colleagues at CNN can make such a blatant error, by believing that something that happened in 1976 was the inspiration for a movie that came out in 1971, imagine how badly mistaken they can be when discussing a topic that is far more complex.

MY RESPONSE TO THE LOCAL REPUBLICAN PARTY

The Spotsylvania Republican Party invited me to "Like" their page, below is my response. Both political parties have done a terrible job managing the finances of the Federal Government, and both have drowned the nation in onerous laws and regulations. I reject both parties for their incompetence, and I further reject the Democrat Party for embracing the insanity of Marxist/Socialism disguised as "Progressive" values.


"Thanks for the invite, but I stopped identifying as a Republican in about the year 2002. My political beliefs are Conservative, and I normally support decent Republican candidates such as Rep. Rob Wittman in most elections. However, at the national level, especially the Presidency and positions that involve the leadership of the House and Senate, I can discern very little difference between the policies of the two major parties. 

The Republican national leadership has constantly disappointed their supporters by failing to enact, or even make a concentrated effort at implementing the many promises they've made to the voters. The only consistency I've observed from the Party leadership, is to keep promising they'll get things done if they can just win the next election. We hear this every election. 

George W. sent our forces to Iraq, to fight in a war we did not need. The Republican party blindly supported his decisions, without stopping to think or to ask questions. Later, Obama did the same thing in Libya, Syria, and other nations, and the Republican Party leadership still went along blindly. Today the warmongers John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, within the Trump administration, are eager to get us involved in a senseless war with Iran. When will this insanity stop? 

The Republicans in Congress continue to pass the most ludicrous of budgets, and have all but ruined the financial future of our Federal Government. $22 Trillion worth of debt is an amount that will choke the nation, if interest rates rise just a few points too much. What are they doing? Does anyone in Congress, or at the state and local level, understand the basic principles of monetary economics? Do they realize the nation is sitting on a ticking time bomb called "hyperinflation"? Endless loans and cheap credit have saddled the public with enormous debt, which must be paid back at some point. The cost of living has increased exponentially over the past 30 years. Try going to college or to the hospital, only the very wealthy can get by without resorting to massive school loans or overpriced health insurance. The middle class is drowning in debt, and endless taxes. What has the Republican Party done to help? Nothing. If the Party leadership actually cared about the middle class, they would increase the Standard Tax Deduction to $100,000 per taxpayer. That's right, if you work and file a tax return, the first $100,000 of income should be free of income tax. That would be just one way to help the middle class. 

The Republican Party, declaring it's supposed support of Conservative values, was at one time the Party of reason, thought, and moral principle. If it can ever return to actually representing those values, I will rejoin the Republican Party."

DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO GIVING AWAY YOUR FREEDOM

 

 

The Fourth of July is meant to celebrate the struggle against tyranny, and unelected governments that do not have to answer to the citizens. Today we are getting very close to such a situation, with mindless bureaucrats and people without any sort of official position making decisions that effect everyone. Our nation is ripe for a Socialist dictator to seize power, by giving gullible people a false sense of hope that he will impose Marxist economic equality and ensure public security.

In many of my posts I discuss the destruction of American symbols as a concentrated and ongoing effort. In this article, we can see how the memory of Thomas Jefferson is dishonored by politically ambitious fools that can not see how their actions hurt our society. Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, one of the greatest arguments for freedom ever produced. The arguments he made in that tremendous document are ignored and forgotten by a nation that no longer understands or appreciates what it means to be truly free.

"Indeed, it is painfully fitting that mere days before the nation prepared to celebrate its freedoms on the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the City Council for Charlottesville, Virginia—the home of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration—voted to do away with a holiday to honor Jefferson’s birthday, because Jefferson, like many of his contemporaries, owned slaves. City councilors have opted instead to celebrate “Liberation and Freedom Day” in honor of slaves who were emancipated after the Civil War."

THE GREAT STRUGGLE OF OUR TIMES

What should we believe and why?

Finding the Truth has been the goal of every religion, philosopher, and poet since the beginning of time. It should be clear to my readers what my beliefs are, and I have no desire to impose my beliefs on anyone else. But there is one thing we must all do, and that is to never stop our search for the Truth. However, in recent times there has been a concentrated effort to stop our search for the Truth. Whether it is a critical review of the recently deceased, or a new law that forces very young children in Catholic schools to learn about the merits of the LGBT lifestyle and the insane fad of transgenderism.

When we lose our ability to express ourselves, we lose every bit of freedom or liberty we once enjoyed. The Bill of Rights enumerates our freedoms, and protects the public from an overly dictatorial government. But what good is the First Amendment and the guaranteed Right to Free Speech, if Congress can frighten social media companies into limiting people's ability to express themselves???

We have lost our freedom, we are now living in tyranny; but we just can't see it. Social media can silence anyone with whom they disagree, from conservative writers to elected officials. The media and politicians can use the power of their positions to slander and defame anyone they don't like; and the accused have no way to respond effectively. Progressives and Marxist/Socialists have wormed their way into every institution and professional board, and use their positions to impose their values on everyone else. 

 

Welcome to the new reality.
