TALK IS CHEAP, MILLENNIALS

TO THE 50% OF INDOCTRINATED MILLENNIALS AND THEIR LIB PROFESSORS who prefer socialism over capitalism, wake the hell up! 

In Venezuela, Bernie's and de Blasio's socialist paradise, soaring inflation, painful food shortages, epidemic malnutrition and starvation abound. To augment their diets, 75% of the population is now routinely picking through garbage fills and dumpsters, killing any jungle animals and pets they can find, including malnourished and sick zoo animals. 

Yeah, snowflakes, you talk a big game while shielded by the plenty which capitalism provides, but are you prepared to walk the ideological walk? Talk is cheap, kids.

BEWARE: Leftist Push Still On to Eliminate Electoral College.

To eliminate effective State control over an increasingly top-heavy federal government, in the early 19th century the Progressives successfully persuaded Americans to ratify the 17th Amendment (direct election of Senators). Prior to that God-awful 17th, State Legislatures, acting as sovereign members of the federal union, appointed delegates to represent them in the Senate; thus, Senators acted as the direct representatives for the duly elected State legislatures. This provided States considerable sway over the direction and policies of the federal government. And, of course, this is precisely what the Founders had in mind to ensure State parity with the DC Leviathan. Passage of the 17th was a major defeat for constitutional governance and the founding principle of dual state-federal sovereignty. In one short-sighted stroke, the States became vassals of the federal government, Senators became nothing more nor less than 6-year term congressmen--NOT what our framers had in mind at all. And our republic has been spiraling downhill ever since.
Now the libs want to abolish the last thread of electoral sanity by eliminating the electoral college. If that happens, folks, the playing field will be anything but level. The smaller States will have no influence over the outcome of presidential elections.The east and west coasts and other Progressive-dominated metropolitan areas would RULE. To hell with fly-over States who would no longer have a voice in the selection of a President. The final nail in the coffin of our constitutional government.
Unless we are educated and engaged, the relentless liberal efforts to undermine what remains of constitutional governance in this country will be successful. What will ensue will be tyranny and, unless we've drunk the kool-aid and learned how to bow and scrape by then, it will necessarily result in civil war and disunion. Patriots should not tolerate such brazen tyranny. Don't be fooled by the Progressive propaganda about fairness. Fairness is not their aim. POWER and CONTROL have always been their game. Be vigilant and push back.

TOXIC LIB HYPOCRISY UNRELENTING

As if we need yet another reminder how insufferably condescending and hypocritical liberals can be, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is still under attack by lib elites for her frumpiness and now her "southern accent". And , of course, the inane and illogical conclusion is drawn that, therefore, she reflects the "mediocrity" and ill-preparedness of the Administration. (Doesn't this viewpoint remind you of the simple-minded thought process of a 10-year old?) I guess Sarah is also responsible for the apocalyptic global warming plague as well. 

Where are the women's rights groups? (Oh, I forgot. Their standard of fairness applies only to liberal women.) Hypocrisy on steroids, for sure! What this reveals is the culture of meanness afflicting dyed-in-the-wool liberals who are simply incapable of or ideologically unwilling to acknowledge the lack of honor, objectivity, sensitivity and plain ol' decency within their rank and file--and I underscore "rank".

BUSH DENIGRATES CHENEY, RUMSFELD & TRUMP

POOR GEORGE. Maybe he really did have a silver spoon shoved in his mouth--and brain as well. 

In his upcoming book, "The Last Republican" (hope he's right) which I alluded to in my post below, he not only lambasted Trump as a "blowhard", but attacked Trump's America-first ideology. And, yes, George defended his globalism as well. (Geez, George. Why weren't you as openly critical of your successor? And you're wondering why folks think you're a tad out of touch?) 

And to shore up his own legacy, an annoying dynastic preoccupation afflicting both sides of the aisle during these waning days of the republic, he attempted to diminish VP Cheney and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld by pointedly asserting that "they did not make any f****** decisions." (Touchy. Touchy. And such naughty language too for a Bush.) 

Is it my imagination, or are these dinosaurian establishment types becoming increasingly unhinged, defensive and overly self-absorbed. George and his Dad are nice guys, but I'm afraid their desperate need for immortality now supersede their sense of proportion, decency and objectivity. 

While I did read Rumsfeld's book, an excellent work, I think I'll pass on "The Last Republican", and merely rejoice in the title of the book itself.

Can Outsider Trump Succeed?

IN AN UPCOMING BUSH BOOK, 93-yr old George H.W. Bush described Trump as a "blowhard" and, partially because of Trump's rough treatment of his son, Jeb, H.W. actually voted for Hillary in the 2016 election. His son. GW, though similarly disconcerted with Trump, chose a wiser, more balanced approach by voting for neither Hillary nor Trump. (To me, the younger GW clearly displayed sounder judgement than did his understandably protective Dad.)
But, like so many others, what neither of these fine, intelligent men seem to understand is WHY Americans, desperate, frightened and totally disillusioned with both parties, voted for outsider Donald Trump. And, let's face it. The Bush dynasty's globalist, big government, establishment-based views of governing were contributing reasons as to why Trump is currently occupying the Oval Office--not just Hillary's larcenous & pathological behavior or Obama's mendacity, divisive PC and subversive lawlessness.
Is Trump flawed, narcissistic? You betcha'. But, no more so than any politician who has ever before sought the highest office in the world. (It is common knowledge that an inordinately well-developed ego is always a hallmark of those seeking positions of authority. It's human nature.)
So, the question as yet unanswered is this: Can Trump do any worse than his predecessors? No. Can he do any better? Quite possibly.
And because he is unshackled from a self-serving establishment mindset and is not burdened with a driving personal need to enrich himself while in office, his presidency bodes well for the restoration of the Rule of Law, individual Liberty and both our economic & military strength.
Though he has many serious hurdles to overcome, the most challenging being the entrenched establishment and heavy-handed federal bureaucracy--to say nothing of the destructive domestic cultural & ideological war he has inherited--to what extent he is able to tame and/or constructively re-direct those tyrannical, subversive forces will determine the level of his and America's success in the near future. In truth, this could be our last chance to get it right. We shall see and wish both him and America the best.

Our Founders Couldn't Be Elected Today

A TROUBLING THOUGHT: Isn't it more than ironic that today both the Right AND the Left routinely idolize, deify and politically invoke the virtues of Lincoln. Why?

This might surprise some of you, but like Lincoln, both the modern Left and Right subscribe to a consolidated, monopolistic central government model. (Yup, our hero was a big government, one-party rule kinda' guy. And in shaping such a top-heavy government, he played the game for keeps.)

In effect, we now have Left-wing totalitarians and Right-wing socialists (neo-Cons, RINOs). Exceptions like Paul, Lee, Gohmert, Blackburn etc. comprise but a tiny minority within the ruling class. Thus, our leaders' and our own faithfulness to the principles of limited, efficient government and dual federal-state sovereignty are, at the very best, tenuous and, most certainly, of scant constructive effect.

There are many, many years of bad governing habits to overcome if we are to once again return to our Founders' bedrock principles of government. And in this what's-in-it-for-me bread and circuses atmosphere, I'm no longer sure that most of us are any longer fully committed to returning to those principles.

In truth, given the severe foundational damage wrought by years of violations and neglect since the Constitutional Convention, my guess is that brilliant luminaries like Madison, Jefferson, Morris, Adams and Franklin wouldn't stand a chance in the once hallowed halls of Capitol Hill in 2017. Hell, they'd be lucky to even get elected.

Yup. We've come a long way--in the wrong direction.

Kneeling Football Players: Useful Idiots of the Left

So, the owner of the Houston Texans colloquially asserts the trusim that "we can't have the inmates running the prison", and the overly super-sensitive, indignant players take a knee in protest. Hmmm. Now, where have we seen this adolescent acting-out before?
Of course, the anti-American Dims, incorrigible race-baiters, dissemblers and dividers that they are, piled on by speciously claiming that the owner was thoughtlessly describing his players as "commodities", a deliberately incendiary and gratuitous reference to, what else, slavery. Oh my. So predictable. So shameless.
To be more accurate, perhaps the owner might have pointed out that OWNERS--NOT EMPLOYEES--are in charge. But even if he had said something like "we can't let the patients run the asylum", the players and their neo-Marxist puppeteers would still have taken umbrage because, to them, the owner would be either characterizing these misbehaving employees as criminals (not altogether inaccurate) or fruit cakes (also not altogether inaccurate). SO, the point is that no matter what the owner says in this regard will be viciously and mindlessly attacked and mischaractized by the Left.
Of course, the Dims' real goal in their self-serving criticism of the owner is to portray these poor set-upon football players as the victims of an evil, heartless, capitalist, whitey-dominated system of enslavement--and, unwittingly, these clueless players are submissively playing their roles perfectly. For the culture warriors on the Left, It's always about advancing their ideological goal of dividing, undermining, and destroying our system.
My advice to those who are still capable of fearless and honest opinionating: Don't play their game and don't surrender any room for them in which to play. Don't be cowed. Be honest and tell it like it is. And to the addicted football fans out there, don't continue to financially enable the players' childish victim fantasies by subsidizing their antics in any way.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, folks, these spoiled adolescent players/employees are unwitting high profile tools of the Leftist assault on our very way of life. The neo-Marxist puppeteers COULDN'T CARE LESS about the players. It's always about the Left's subversive ideological goals, and they will use anyone and any means to achieve that terrible aim. In other words, folks, our focus must be on saving the republic, not on short-sightedly enabling either the players or their political handlers.

America Ruled by Delphic Oracles

I BRIDLED AT THIS QUOTE appearing in one of today's conservative sites: "If President Trump is able to appoint even one more conservative replacement for one of the liberal Justices, conservatives across the nation will feel safe knowing that the constitution will be protected for many years to come." Wowee! Bottom line takeaway: even conservatives have been ensnared in the prevailing foolish notion that the Supreme Court alone is delegated the authority and power to protect our Constitution and our liberty. NOT SO! We the People are and have always been the final arbiters of what is and what is not constitutional. But, tragically, decades of ignorance and indoctrination have permitted even patriots to adopt this destructive, suicidal thinking. And we wonder why all the grotesque social engineering by the "Supreme" Court goes unchallenged.
That said, it appears that the judicial patron saint of liberalism, 84-yr old High Priestess Ginsburg of ACLU infamy, has decided to remain an oracle on America's Mt. Delphi. However, swing voter High Priest Kennedy and his fellow oracle, very liberal High Priestess Sotomayor have both expressed a desire to retire, the former owing to weariness, the latter owing to Type 1 Diabetes. So, looks like Trump will only be able to replace two more justices in the foreseeable future which, of course, would be a win for patriots. Of course, a bigger win would be when and if WE and our States understand our authority over our Mt. Delphi oracles.

Civil War History vs Race-Baiting in the Media

HISTORY IS NOT THE MEDIA'S FORTE. In response to Gen. Kelly's observation during a Fox interview with Laura Ingraham on Monday night that the "civil war" could have been avoided had there been a "willingness to compromise", some reporters (always the race-baiters) at the White House Press Conference today smugly inquired if Gen. Kelly may have been referring to compromising on slavery. (Oh, the humanity!!!) It was painfully obvious these PC ignoramuses hadn't a clue about "civil war" history. Sanders fielded the veiled attacks gracefully by alluding to the fact that "historians, both north and south" today agree that the war could have been prevented. (Perfectly stated and well-handled,)
Having read many politically INcorrect books about the so-called "civil war", aka the War of Northern Aggression, I could only have hoped that I had been present to take on those fools.
Prepared for their attacks, I would have quickly noted that the Confederates in 1861 dispatched delegates to DC to discuss peace, but that Lincoln flatly refused to meet or negotiate with them. (Not only was he unwilling to compromise, he outright rejected all southern attempts to negotiate.)
Though there are countless verifiable quotes attributable to Lincoln, I would have highlighted these two: In his 1862 letter to newspaper editor Horace Greeley he asserted that "My paramount objective in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery." And earlier in his political career during his 1858 debate with Stephen Douglas he said this: "I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races." Also, shortly after his inauguration, he pledged his support for an amendment to the Constitution which forbade any amendment which would have permitted Congress to either abolish or interfere with the institution of slavery. Etc. Etc. Etc. And then I would have demanded the reporters prove me wrong, finishing up with "So, do you think Lincoln statues should come down too? Or do we learn from history and understand that historical figures are never, ever perfect?"
I would also have pointed out that most objective historians who haven't deified and mischaracterized Lincoln have clearly demonstrated that the paramount cause of the civil war was decades of oppressively unfair and intolerable tariffs imposed by the federal government on manufactured goods entering Southern ports, this to ensure that the South was compelled to purchase less expensive goods of lesser quality from northern manufacturers. (The tariff issue was seen as early as the 1830's as a lit match which could only lead to either peaceful secession of the south or needless and preventable bloodshed precipitated by industrial greed of the northern States.)
Three vital points: 1) the "civil war" was not, by definition, a civil war; it was an invasion of a sovereign, independent nation by the north; 2) it was fought over the issues of the right of a State to freely withdraw from a voluntary union (as contended by our Founders) and the grossly unfair and non-uniform imposition of federal tariffs on the southern States; 3) because the south was so dependent upon cotton, rice and indigo requiring intensive labor, from an economic standpoint, it was also fought over the issue of slavery.
So, Kelly and Sanders knew their history and, unsurprisingly, the indoctrinated ivy leaguers in the press room were clueless.
