DAMNED IF I DO, AND DAMNED IF I DON'T

 

 

The 2020 Presidential election has brought out the the worst in people. The Marxist/Socialist/Progressives that seem to have taken complete control of the Democrat Party have stayed true to their usual habit of labeling everyone that disagrees with them as "racist" or a "hater" of some sort, and since Donald Trump has many supporters. over forty percent of the nation must be racists and haters! How was our once great nation converted into a proverbial "run down high school" in which everyone must belong to a clique or group, and all the groups hate each other? 

From the Washington Times we learn that Congressperson Rep. Alexanderia Ocasio-Cortez was instrumental in setting up the “Trump Accountability Project”. a group whose goal is to blacklist and deny employment to anyone that in any way supported or even voted for Donal Trump. Singer Katy Perry, who publicly supported Biden, was savagely attacked online for suggesting she would offer a message of reconciliation to her family members that supported Trump. While Presidential-elect Joe Biden has been talking about unity and reconciliation, his party and his supporters seem to have ulterior motives. 

For their part, Trump supporters have not been idle. From the Biden bus being run off the road and instances of individuals being attacked. Most disturbingly, Trump seems to have been very popular with many fringe groups of dubious character, from the neo-Nazi thugs that staged an infamous protest in Charlottesville Virginia (read my post about that), to the QAnon conspiracy group and others such as the Proud Boys. Of course, the Democrat party is well known for it's many violent Marxist fringe groups, such as Antifa and BLM, but that is a story for another time. 

Perhaps Biden will be able to unify people in a way that Trump was never able to. Regardless, it seems battle lines have been drawn, and neither side is backing down. 

This brings me to my personal experience with pre and post-election anger. In recent weeks I have been attacked for not supporting Trump, and I have been attacked for not supporting Biden. Several of my Facebook "friends" from both political sides have severed their connections to me, because I did not support their candidate. My question to everyone is this: Why must I support a candidate that does not represent my values and political ideals?  The most difficult sort of tyranny to overcome is the tyranny of peer pressure. I believe I have been fortunate enough to think outside the box, and thus have my own opinions. However, it saddens me that so many people seem unable or unwilling to see beyond the normal sort of petty partisanship that has become an integrated part of our society. 

Perhaps things will get better one day. Perhaps the people of this nation will one day put aside their political differences, and embrace their fellow citizens in a spirit of true brotherhood. Perhaps this is all just wistful thinking on the part of a man that loves his country, and believes that this remains the land of opportunity, in which people live in harmony and seek to improve their community by improving themselves.

JOE BIDEN ELECTED PRESIDENT: WHAT COMES NEXT?

 

I think we can reasonably determine the 2020 Presidential election has been won by Democrat Joe Biden, along with his Vice-Presidential running mate Kamala Harris, even if an official announcement has not been made as of yet. The current resident of the White House, Donald Trump, can complain about widespread election fraud all he wants; however, he has no chance of proving such fraud and overturning the election. As President Trump was uncouth, uncharismatic, and viewed with contempt by many, in addition the media did a fine job of slandering and defaming him; regardless, he never seemed able or willing to reach across the vast political rift in this country in order to make any headway with his political opponents.

The election is over, more or less, and in January, Biden will take the oath of office. The question of what comes next is on everyone's mind. 

Biden has a tendency to make odd sounding or confused statements, many have questioned his mental health and acuity, and many are concerned that Biden may be showing signs of dementia. Some pundits have theorized that at some point Vice-President Harris, or Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, may invoke the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution and have Biden declared to be unfit to carry out his duties as President. If such an event occurs, Kamala Harris will assume the Presidency, and she will be able to choose a replacement for the vacant office of Vice-President. There is no restriction as to who she can choose, it can be an elected politician or someone off the street. She can appoint anyone: a Senator, a friend, a celebrity, Hillary Clinton, or someone chosen at random, the only stipulation is that both Houses of Congress must approve of the choice. 

 The Covid-19 crises is still upon us, and many are calling for a return to lock downs and severe quarantines on a national level. Several European countries have already instituted such restrictions, and many of the Elite in the US wish to emulate their European counterparts. The US economy is quickly headed to an economic recession of epic proportions, and another round of quarantines will only serve to worsen the situation. Regardless of who had won the election, the nation will be experiencing some very difficult economic conditions. 

The Trump administration has withdrawn from a number of international treaties, many of the US's traditional Western European allies have been left confused and dismayed by these decisions. In addition, our relations with Russia, China, and other competing powers, have been soured by Trump's hardball tactics. The incoming president will have to decide how to deal with these issues, and what will ultimately be in the best interest of the American people. 

There has been a strong movement towards Marxist/Socialism within the Democrat Party, and though Biden tends to be moderate, Kamal Harris has opinions that place her on the far Left. This shift towards the Left began with Barack Obama in 2008, and it became stronger as the nation dealt with the Great Recession. The Covid-19 crises has frightened many citizens, and a growing number of citizens have become willing to accept the false promises of economic equality and security offered by Socialist demagogues such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Citizens that retain their composure and remember the harsh lessons of history, should make it clear to the newly elected President and Congressional representatives that the people of this nation will not accept the tyranny and loss of individual liberty that are a fundamental aspect of Marxist/Socialism. The promises made by Sanders, Warren, Castro, Chavez and every other Marxist/Socialist, can not be implemented correctly if people are free to make their own choices in life. 

Lastly, even if Biden is just fine and does not suffer from any health issues, there is one personal issue which he will be forced to address. He seems to have fondness for touching women and children in a very creepy fashion. There is ample photographic evidence of this behavior, there is no conspiracy theory behind this. He is just very creepy.

I AM OFFICIALLY ENDORSING LIBERTARIAN PARTY CANDIDATE JO JORGENSEN FOR THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

 

 

I am endorsing the Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen for the 2020 election. A well educated and intelligent individual, free of scandals or vices, and she makes a lot more sense than any of the clownish candidates supported by the two corrupt major parties.  She is running on the Libertarian Party platform, and most voters will not be familiar or accustomed to her ideas. 

The following is taken directly from her campaign webpage. 

Issues: Generations of Republican and Democrat politicians have failed the people of America. Together they’ve given us:

• Over $26 trillion in debt, trillion-dollar deficits, plus trillions more in unfunded liabilities
• Non-Stop Involvement in expensive and deadly foreign war
• Skyrocketing health care costs
• The highest imprisonment rate in the world; even higher among racial minorities and the poor
• A broken retirement system unable to pay promised benefits
• Tariffs that are destroying markets for American farmers

  

Wikipedia provides a detailed list of all her policy positions. The United States has a great many problems, and it is time for a fresh look at our government's policies and some new ideas. Actually, many of her ideas are based on traditional American values of personal liberty, limited government, and doing what is in the best interest of the nation. 

 It is time for new blood and fresh leadership. 

It is time to get away from the usual Democrat and Republican party bickering, gridlock, and failed ideas. 

It is time for everyone that cares about this country to support Jo Jorgensen at the ballot box this November.

ON THE ROAD TO OBLIVION

Congress is borrowing money at an insane pace, $86.3 Billion just in the month of June. 
The National Debt is $26Trillion (26,000,000,000,000) and rising quickly. At some point the US taxpayer is going to be forced to pay an extremely high price, and our nation will face some very difficult choices.  

Do any of the geniuses in Congress, in our great think tanks, or on social media, understand or care about this coming disaster? Apparently not.

Our presidents should have been screaming, yelling, and literally fighting with Congress to stop this madness; however, they seem equally happy to spend our country into oblivion. During the Obama Administration more money was borrowed than any other presidency, in the futile hope of getting the nation out of the Great Recession. But there is plenty of blame to go around, George W. was highly skilled at borrowing money for his wars and pet projects, while Trump seems completely oblivious to the problem and is spending money like there's no tomorrow. 

 Realistically speaking, there's absolutely nothing that can be done about it, at this point. It's already too late. The National Debt is so huge, so unimaginably vast, it can never be paid off. Writing in the July 2020 issue of "Foreign Affairs" magazine, Sebastian Mallaby provides excellent insight as to how the Global Elite and members of exclusive think tanks view this problem. They view every crises as an opportunity for government to expand it's power over society through endless spending. The author describes the Great Recession of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have caused immeasurable harm and misery for millions of people around the world, as a fine opportunity for would be autocrats to tighten their grip on society. He goes on to describe how various financial tricks on the bond market can permanently forestall any consequences of infinite government spending.

"Today, the United States and other advanced countries are experiencing the second wave of an especially powerful twin shock. Taken individually, either the global financial crises of 2008 or the global pandemic of 2020 would have been enough to change public finances, driving government to to create and borrow money freely. Combined, these two crises are set to transform the spending power of the state. A new era of assertive and expansive government beckons. Call it the age of magic money." 

What can be said to such a twisted mentality? That is a difficult question. The author is a dedicated believer in government power, as if elected politicians have somehow found all the answers to every problem. As can be surmised from the above citation, the Elite and their cronies in Congress, have every intention of continuing on this reckless spending behavior; regardless of any possible consequences. I just hope that when the "magic money" runs out, the average citizen is not expected to bear the burden of other people's carelessness. 

Thank You for reading this article. Please share it on social media. 

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

Happy Fourth of July!

I will not burden you with a lengthy analysis of Ronald Reagan's historical speech he gave during the 1964 Presidential campaign. Needless to say, Reagan was called the "greater communicator" for good reason, nobody could deliver a speech with such finesse.

Getting away from the nostalgia of having such a truly great man in White House, his words were prophetic. The United States has lost it's way, the voters have allowed crooked and corrupt politicians to lead them into further and further into a Socialist form of authoritarian governance. Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy, or any of the great presidents of the past would be sickened by what our nation has become.

Below is black and white video footage of that great speech. Watch and enjoy it, and try to reconcile what Reagan is saying with the nation as it is today. Of course, I will offer my own analysis, but at a later date.

Enjoy, and have a very great Independence Day.
