From the very first day of this country the 5th estate took a very partisan position favoring the Agrarian, Pro-French, and States Right political camp over the Mercantile, Pro-English, and Central Government camp. In the short term this was very helpful for the Jeffersonian (left) side in prevailing over the Hamiltonian (right) side. This would increasingly change after the Civil War when both big government and big business would emerge.
Today the left continues to enjoy a huge main stream media advantage over the right and in the age of the internet that advantage has only increased. The creation of the social media mob will increasingly drive the USA from Socialism towards Marxism!

Never understood how a man can be both little and big but realized the other day that it could mean whether he is thinking with his little or big head!

Take Robert Kraft for example when his blood is flowing to his big head a genius multi billionaire businessman. When it’s flowing to his little head a complete dummy who will waltz into a strip mall and strip completely naked!

Now think about this a guy who has more than enough dough to have the ladies come to him so that he can then cum for them! Makes perfect sense but only if you’re thinking with the right head!

WHAT DO THESE THREE HAVE IN COMMON? THEY ALL MADE AN UNFORTUNATE PRESIDENTIAL POLITICAL CALCULATION TO VOTE FOR THE IRAQI WAR RESOLUTION!

BOTH JOHN AND HILLARY PAID THE MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THEIR VOTES AND VERY LIKELY JOE WILL AS WELL! FORMER DEFENSE SECRETARY BOB GATES STATED IN HIS MEMOIR, THAT JOE WAS WRONG ON NEARLY EVERY MAJOR FOREIGN POLICY AND NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS!

WOW….

THE FACT IS THAT SENDING OUR KIDS TO WAR IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION OUR POLITICAL LEADERS WILL MAKE. MY PREDICTION: JOE WILL NOT GET THE NOMINATION!

IN 1950, AMERICA WAS PRODUCING 50% OF THE WORLDS GDP! MY PARENTS WHO HAD NINE KIDS WERE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN MAKING ALL A’S OR EVEN BEING ON THE HONOR ROLL.

TODAY WE ARE PRODUCING WAY LESS THAN 50% GDP (AND FEWER KIDS TOO) AND PARENTS ARE WORRIED SICK ABOUT HOW THEIR IDIOT SON’S (OR DAUGHTERS) ARE GOING TO DO COMPETING IN THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE!

SCHOOLS TODAY ARE NOT ONLY HANDING OUT A’S TO EVERYONE BUT HONOR, HIGH HONOR AND SUPER DUPER HIGHEST HONORS AS WELL!

IN THE END ALL WE’VE DONE IS TO LOWER THE BAR BUT HEY THE IDIOT KIDS PARENTS HAVE THERE MY KID IS ON THE HONOR ROLL BUMPER STICKER & ARE HAPPY!

Who knew that Columbine was just a tragic tune up for other even more tragic massacres!

The day after the Sandy Hook massacre my wife who was a class room teacher was shown how to blockade her class room door and where to hide in the room. Frankly pathetic but it reminds me of how we were taught to hide under our desks in case of a nuclear attack. Both pathetic and ridiculous!

When you consider everything that we expose our little ones to today what a failure this society has become. Our kids are growing up way too fast for their own good! And when it comes to our children, failure isn’t an option!

THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT SOCIETY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR EDUCATING OUR KIDS. HOWEVER ONCE THEY HIT 18 YEARS OF AGE THEY ARE NO LONGER KIDS, SO WHY SHOULD SOCIETY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKING UP THIS TAB?

THE FACT IS WHETHER THE NEWLY MINTED ADULT IS GOING TO A TRADE SCHOOL OR COLLEGE THEY (OR MORE LIKELY THEIR PARENTS) ARE MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN THEIR FUTURE LIVELIHOOD. AND AS WE KNOW FROM THE RECENT ADMISSIONS SCANDAL SOME JUST GO TO PARTY ANYWAY!

WHY THEN SHOULD THE TAX PAYERS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT? MANY GRADUATE WITH MEANINGLESS DEGREES AND END UP AS BARISTAS OR WORSE LIVING IN MOMMY AND DADDY’S BASEMENT!

IF YOU’RE FROM A POOR FAMILY SURE LOAN THEM THE MONEY AS FOR REST OF YOU PONY UP!

During the American Revolution the founding fathers watched the mob switch sides depending on which army was encamped nearby! Over the last 200 years we have stripped some of those republican protections away in an effort to become more democratic.
Increasingly today we are hearing calls to dismantle the Electoral College, to eliminate the US Senate and to stack or impose term limits on the Supreme Court! There are always two edges to every sword and while doing these things may make us more democratic the downside is that it can also empower the mob!
Remember the Democratic French Revolution decapitated the King only to eventually give rise to an even more powerful Emperor!

IF YOU DROP TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC FROGS INTO A POT OF HOT WATER THEY WILL BOTH RECOGNIZE THE THREAT AND JUMP OUT. BUT IF YOU DROP BOTH INTO A POT OF COLD WATER AND THEN TURN THE HEAT ON IT IS LESS LIKELY THAT THE TACTICAL FROG JUMPS OUT AND SAVE ITSELF.
AS THERE ARE WAY MORE TACTICAL THINKING PEOPLE THAN STRATEGIC THINKING PEOPLE THAT MAKES IT MORE CHALLENGING FOR A DEMOCRACY TO FUNCTION SUCCESSFULLY OVER THE LONGER TERM. EVEN MORE DIFFICULT IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN STRATEGIC THINKERS ARE INCREASINGLY BEING DROWN OUT BY THE REACTIVE TACTICAL DRIVEN MOB!

ACCORDING TO BERNIE SANDERS MEDICARE IS WORKING GREAT FOR SENIORS AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO EVERYONE! DOES THE NEWLY MINTED MILLIONAIRE USE THE FREE CONGRESSIONAL HEALTHCARE PLAN OR IS HE USING JUST MEDICARE?

WE UNDERSTAND THE MORAL IMPERATIVE TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL BUT MEDICARE IS BROKE COME 2026 AND IS PROJECTED TO BE TRILLIONS IN DEBT AFTER THAT! OUR KIDS AND GRAND KIDS WHO WILL BE PICKING UP THIS TAB WILL NOT BE RECEIVING THE SAME LEVEL OF CARE AS BERNIE HAS. WHAT KIND OF SUPERIOR MORALITY IS IT THEN TO IMPOSE THAT KIND OF FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THEM?

TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY WE ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING TO OUR KIDS WITH SOCIAL SECURITY!

WHEN WORLD LEADERSHIP TRANSITIONED FROM THE BRITISH TO THE AMERICAN EMPIRE IT WAS LITERALLY BEING PASSED FROM ONE COUSIN TO ANOTHER! (CHURCHILL AND ROOSEVELT WERE 7TH COUSINS ONCE REMOVED). WE LOOKED AND TALKED THE SAME!

AS THE CHINESE CENTURY BECOMES A REALITY THIS WILL NO LONGER BE THE CASE. EVEN OUR ALPHABETS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. CULTURAL DIFFERENCES AND PREJUDICES WILL COMPOUND OUR ABILITY TO BOTH UNDERSTAND AND SETTLE OUR DIFFERENCES PEACEFULLY!

EDUCATIONALLY AMERICA NEEDS TO TEACH LESS WESTERN CIV AND MORE ASIAN CULTURE, AND LESS LATIN OR FRENCH AND MORE CHINESE LANGUAGES! IT WILL BE THOSE STUDENTS THAT WILL HELP TO BRIDGE THE GAP IN THE COMING DIVIDE BETWEEN THE USA AND CHINA!

15 YEARS AGO I ATTENDED A CHRISTMAS MORNING SERVICE IN NOTRE DAME. THE CATHEDRAL WAS VIRTUALLY EMPTY…RESEARCH INDICATES THAT LESS THAN 5% OF ALL FRENCH FOLK STILL ATTEND MASS.

IN THE WEST, ORGANIZED RELIGION CONTINUES TO LOSE FOLLOWERS BUT THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT HAS A STRONG HOLD IN THE U.S.A, ISRAEL AND IRAN. EVEN MORE PROBLEMATIC IS THE DIVIDE BETWEEN SUNNI AND SHIA IN THE MUSLIM WORLD!

DOES MAKE YOU WONDER IF WE ARE BETTER OR WORSER FOR IT?

As the white grandfather of two beautiful grandkids of color I am very concerned with the growing racial divide in this country! The black community has many legitimate concerns over their historical treatment by the white power structure in the USA.

There are many real cases of proven mistreatment by both police and politicians. However MJ, OJ and Smollett are none of those! When the black community holds any of these three up as examples of injustice it will not help my grandkids any with the white community.

Sorry, but I don’t believe that the Reverend Al is a great example either! Perhaps we will go color blind some day but that will require Americans of all colors to accomplish that!

I WENT FISHING FOR CRAPPIES THE OTHER DAY. I BROUGHT SOMETHING TO SIT ON, IT WAS A WOODEN STOOL THAT WAS SO HARD THAT I BROUGHT A PILLOW ALSO. SO THERE I WAS WITH MY HARD STOOL AND MY STOOL SOFTENER!

DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ASSOCIATION FOR CRAPPIE KIDS? MY WIFE TAUGHT 5TH GRADE AND THOUGHT THAT ALL OF HER STUDENTS MUST BE MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING!

I NEEDED A NEW STOOL SO I WENT TO IKEA AND ASKED THE LADY WORKING THERE IF SHE COULD SHOW ME HER STOOLS! SO SHE TOOK ME TO THE LADIES ROOM!

AFTER A QUARTER OF A CENTURY OF BEING A TEACHER, MY WIFE FOUND HERSELF DOING LESS TEACHING EVERY YEAR AND MORE PARENTING EVERY YEAR!

When the career politicians signed off on all of those free trade agreements they understood that all of those high paying manufacturing jobs they talk about were now going overseas!
In an effort to mitigate this they “encouraged” the quasi private/government Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to begin to loan money to folks at rates and down payments that were unheard of. No surprise then that this created the housing bubble that in turn would help to create the great recession of 2008. The bankers would take the PR hit for all of this but were rewarded by our POLS with tax payer funded bonuses! Not only should the bankers not have been rewarded but they should not have been bailed out either!
However, Washington would then move to “encourage” another quasi private/government agency the Federal Reserve to create quantitative easing which would once again drive the housing market. This would require the FED to borrow 4 trillion bucks. These irresponsible actions are killing the capitalist horse!
When the housing market crashes again it will be a very long time in coming back to where it was. For example in the Stock Market crash of 1929 it would take until 1956 for stock prices to come back to 1929 levels!

The great comedian Henny Youngman was once asked how his wife was and he replied as compared to what?
Over the last several years how we measure the rates of unemployment and inflation have been changed many times. The net effect has been to reduce these rates so as to mitigate any voter unhappiness with our career politicians!
Every year during this same period the media would also do stories about how our students SAT scores where declining when compared to their parents SAT scores. Eventually the way these tests were scored was changed so that no comparison could be made.
So the next time your career politician tells you that they are doing a great job be sure to ask them as compared to what? The UK Prime Minister Disraeli was correct when he said that there were 3 kinds of lies: “Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics”

SO THE GUY WHO COULDN’T BEAT LYIN’ TED IS NOW CALLING THE FIFTH TIME ELECTED PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU A RACIST!

BY INFERENCE EVERY ONE WHO VOTED FOR HIM OR BY PROXY FOR A RELIGIOUS RIGHT PARTY WHO INDIRECTLY SUPPORTS BIBI IS ONE AS WELL.

THAT WOULD BE THE MAJORITY OF ISRAELI’S SO WHY ISN’T BETO, OR BERNIE ACCUSING THEM AS WELL. WHERE IS AIPAC ON THIS ONE?

IS IT RACIST TO BE A ZIONIST? ARE THE DEMMY’S WORRIED THAT THEY ARE LOSING THE JEWISH VOTE TO TRUMP? EITHER WAY NOT GOOD FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!

I REMEMBER A MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRAT POLITICAN WHO WAS RUNNING FOR CONGRESS AND PROMISED THAT HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT RUN AFTER SERVING 4 TERMS. NOT ONLY DID HE RUN FOR A FIFTH TERM BUT EVEN THE VOTERS IN HIS DISTRICT FAILED TO KEEP HIM TO HIS WORD.

CONGRESS HAS AN EVEN LOWER FAVORABILITY RATING THAN TRUMP BUT WE KEEP RE-ELECTING THESE FOLKS IN OVERWHELMING NUMBERS ANYWAY. WAY MORE LIKELY THAT GOD IMPOSES A TERM LIMIT ON THEM THEN THE GULLIBLE OR WORSE PARTISAN VOTERS IN THIS COUNTRY DO! IN THE END WHEN WE WHINE ABOUT THE POLS NOT KEEPING THEIR PROMISES WE HAVE NOBODY TO BLAME BUT OURSELVES.

ALL THAT SAID I WOULD SUPPORT A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ALLOWING A PRESIDENT TO RUN AS MANY TIMES AS GOD (OR VOTERS) WILL ALLOW HIM OR HER TO DO SO!

The USA has the world’s most lawyers and therefore it stands to reason we would have the world’s most of these!

Lawyers are officers of the court so no excuse but on top of Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort we now have a guy by the name of Gordon Caplan who plans to plead guilty to his involvement in the admission scandal. He was caught on an FBI wiretap saying “To be honest, it feels a little weird,” we are sorry to hear that a lawyer thinks that breaking the law is just a little weird!

On top of all of this he wasn’t concerned with the “moral issue” either. So what if another wealthy white girl takes the place of someone else’s harder working and more deserving daughter.

I completely understand why this guy is an awarding winning lawyer! One can only hope that he will be joining Michael and Paul for a long stretch at the Club Fed!

WE ARE OVER DUE FOR ANOTHER ONE OF THESE WHICH WILL LIKELY BE WORSER THAN THE WORST OF THEM ALL THE SPANISH FLU OF THE EARLY 1900’S THAT KILLED 100 MILLION PEOPLE!
WITH OUR BORDERS BEING WIDE OPEN THEIR WILL BE NO STOPPING THE INFLUX OF PANICKED OR INFECTED FOLKS COMING FROM THOSE AREA’S. VERY LIKELY IT WILL BE SOCIAL MEDIA THAT DRIVES THEM TO “SAFER” AREA’S.
THE ZIKA VIRUS WHICH BECAME A LARGE PROBLEM IN SOUTH AMERICA FOUND ITS WAY TO TEXAS AND FLORIDA FROM THOSE WHO HAD ALREADY BEEN INFECTED. DURING THE ELLIS ISLAND DAYS EVERYONE COMING INTO THE COUNTRY WAS EXAMINED BY A DOCTOR. TODAY WE ARE EVEN ALLOWING PEOPLE NOT TO VACCINATE THEIR KIDS WHO HAVE CONTRACTING MEASLES IN RECORD NUMBERS!
I SUPPOSE IF WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SOME LEMONADE FROM ALL OF THIS THEN LETS FACE IT THE PLANET IS OVERPOPULATED ANYWAY…

FEWER MAIN STREAM STORIES OF LATE ARE ABOUT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS. THE FACT IS THAT THE LAW AND ORDER COMMUNITY WILL NEVER ACCEPT THE MEDIA’S SPIN ABOUT THESE FOLKS JUST NOT HAVING LEGAL DOCUMENTS!

IN HOPES OF OVERCOMING THIS OBJECTION THE UNDOCUMENTED ARE INCREASINGLY BEING DESCRIBED AS REFUGEES INSTEAD! HOWEVER ONCE THESE CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN FOLKS CROSS INTO MEXICO THEY ARE OUT OF HARMS WAY. MEXICO DOESN’T WANT THEM BUT IN THE USA THE CAREER DEMOCRATS WELCOME THEM. AS FOR THE SO CALLED REFUGEE GIVEN A CHOICE OF MEXICO OR THE USA, A NO BRAINER FOR THE NEWLY MINTED REFUGEE/MIGRANT.
THE CAREER DEMMY’S ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN 70% OF THEM CAN VOTE FOR THEIR CANDIDATES…ONE EXTREME IS TO NOT LET ANY IN, WHILE THE OTHER EXTREME IS LETTING THEM ALL IN. I’M NOT VOTING FOR EITHER EXTREME!

Einstein said that imagination was more important than knowledge. Over the next few years we are going to learn just how right he was with the increasing emergence of A.I.
Just like manual laborers being replaced by robots, knowledge based workers will be replaced by thinking machines! If you don’t think so than just ask Chess Grandmaster Kasparov who was replaced by IBM’s Watson.
How well and how quickly our government driven and teacher union monopolized educational system adapts to teaching our students to think more like Einstein remains to be seen. The truth is they’ve done a lousy job of just teaching knowledge!

In the 1970’s the USA began to see an explosion in the number of lawyers in this country. Today they barrage TV viewers with negative ads 24/7. It’s gotten so bad you can’t even wipe your own legal butt here without a lawyer Okaying the brand of toilet paper you can use!
For example in the 1970’s we had 600 lawyers at the Pentagon. 25 years later there were 10,000 of them there. Does make you wonder how many lawyers the Russian and Chinese military have to listen to. But hey if the Russian/Chinese military get to the high ground first very likely because our thousands of military lawyers were haggling over which legal I’s and T’s needed to be crossed before we can begin to defend ourselves!

THANK GOD THE USA’S ROBUST CAPITALISTIC ECONOMY HAD THE CAPABILITY AND CAPACITY TO OVERCOME THE FASCIST RIGHT WING THREAT FROM BOTH GERMANY AND JAPAN DURING WWII.

ON THE OTHER HAND IT DOES MAKE YOU WONDER IF IT WILL BE ROBUST ENOUGH TO OVERCOME THE SOCIALIST LEFT WING THREAT EMERGING FROM CHINA. WILL THE SOCIALIST IN THE WEST RECOGNIZE IT AS A THREAT BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO LATE?

IN THE US WE ARE SPENDING WAY MORE TIME DISCUSSING JOE BIDEN RUBBING NOSES OR SMELLING HAIR THEN WE ARE WITH DONALD TRUMP PROCLAIMING JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL’S CAPITOL OR DECLARING THAT THE GOLAN HEIGHTS NOW BELONG TO ISRAEL AS WELL!

ABSOLUTELY INSANE AND WE HAVE NOW COMPLETELY TAKEN OUR EYE OFF OF THE GLOBAL BALL…ANY WONDER WHY THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE THE AMERICAN CENTURY?

“ACQUIRED” AS A RESULT OF THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR THE COUNTRY HAS HAD MULTIPLE VOTES TO BECOME THE 51ST STATE OR TO MAINTAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE.

FRANKLY TIME TO TAKE ONE LAST VOTE TO EITHER STAY OR MAKE A PERMANENT PUERTOXIT!

AS THE WEST SIDE STORY LYRICS SAY; ALWAYS THE HURRICANES BLOWING, ALWAYS THE POPULATION GROWING, AND THE MONEY OWING….

ONE MEASURE OF A POLITICALLY CORRUPT CITY IS THE MURDER RATE. FOR EXAMPLE WITH A POPULATION OF 8.5 MILLION PEOPLE NEW YORK’S MURDER RATE LAST YEAR WAS ONLY 289.
L.A.’S MURDER RATE WAS 259 WITH A POPULATION OF 4 MILLION PEOPLE WHILE CHICAGO’S MURDER RATE WAS A WHOOPING 539 WITH A POPULATION OF ONLY 2.7 MILLION PEOPLE! THE DALEY/COOK COUNTY/DEMOCRAT MACHINE HAS HELD POWER WAY TOO LONG THERE AND AS THEY SAY ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY.

WE SHOULD THEREFORE NOT BE SURPRISED AT THE SMOLLETT OUTCOME! TIME FOR REAL CHANGE IN THE WINDY CITY!

MY WIFE IS A BIG FAN OF FRANKIE AND GRACE BUT I STOPPED WATCH ANYTHING WITH JANE FONDA IN IT AFTER SHE POSED ON A NORTH VIETNAMESE ANTI AIRCRAFT GUN DURING THE WAR!

PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE FOR HER TO OPPOSE THE WAR IN VIETNAM BUT THAT ACT IN MY OPINION BORDERED ON TREASON! AS THE NOBEL PRIZE WINNING ECONOMIST MILTON FRIEDMAN WROTE PEOPLE VOTE WITH THEIR DOLLARS AND I CHOSE NOT TO SPEND MY DOLLARS ON JANE FONDA!

ON BALANCE THIS COUNTRY WOULD BE ONCE AGAIN BETTER OFF IF WE WENT BACK TO SHUNNING “ACTORS”

WOULD HAVE BEEN A KAVA NOPE HAD FORMER DEMOCRATIC SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID NOT USED THE NUCLEAR OPTION TO IMPOSE OBAMA’S JUDICAL APPOINTMENTS! SO HAVING PAID THE SUPREME PRICE TWICE FOR BEING LESS COMPROMISING AND MORE PARTISAN THE LEFT IS NOW PROMOTING EITHER THE OLD FDR PLOY OF PACKING THE COURT OR IMPOSING TERM OR AGE LIMITS ON THE SUPREMES! ALL THE SENATE REALLY NEEDS TO DO IS REIMPOSE THE NUCLEAR OPTION. THE PRESIDENT THEN NEEDS TO NOMINATE PEOPLE THAT CAN GET 60 VOTES!

VOTED FOR GAMPY BUSH TWICE BUT CAN’T HELP BUT THINK THAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS ARE SHAKING THEIR HEADS AT THE GRANDEUR, NEVER MIND THE EXPENSE TO SEND OFF A PERSON WHO ACCOMPLISHED WAY LESS THAN THEY DID!
WE ARE NO LONGER FOCUSED ON BUILDING OUR COUNTRY BUT RATHER ARE BUILDING MONUMENTS TO OURSELVES AND HOSTING SPECTACULAR EVENTS IN AN EFFORT TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT OUR DECLINING FORTUNES.
BUT WHAT A GREAT FREE AD IT MADE FOR THE BUSH PRESIDENTIAL BRAND! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT WE DO FOR THE DONALD’S FUNERAL…
AND I ALSO NOW UNDERSTAND WHY THE PENTAGON HAS TO SPEND A HALF A BILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR ON MILITARY BANDS.

A FEW YEARS AGO WHOOPI MADE THE OUTRAGEOUS COMMENT THAT THE RAPE OF A 13 YEAR OLD WASN’T REALLY RAPE, RAPE!
STREISAND ON THE OTHER HAND BLAMED THE PARENTS FOR ALLOWING THEIR KIDS TO SLEEP WITH MICHAEL JACKSON!

FRANKLY APPALLING PERSPECTIVES COMING FROM A TALENTED LADY COMEDIAN AND SINGER. MAKES YOU WONDER WHY SOME FOLKS LISTEN TO PEOPLE LIKE THIS! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ADD THE RECENT HUFFMAN/LOUGHLIN/SMOLLETT SCANDALS ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS!

NEEDLESS TO SAY JUSSIE SMOLLETT IS A HUGE EMBARRASSMENT TO BOTH THE BLACK AND LBGTQ COMMUNITIES. WHETHER IT WAS ONE OR THE OTHER OR BOTH THAT WERE PUSHING FOR THIS KIND OF OUTCOME IT WILL LIKELY DO SOME HARM IN ADVANCING BOTH GROUPS CAUSES IN CHICAGO.

PERHAPS JUST COINCIDENTAL THAT ONE OF THE CANDIDATES FOR CHICAGO MAYOR IS A BLACK LBGTQ PERSON. CHICAGO IS A VERY CORRUPT CITY THAT IS VERY PROTECTIVE OF ITS OWN GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK TO BRING FORMER MAYOR RICHARD DALEY’S NEPHEW TO ACCOUNT. SOME COULD EVEN ARGUE THAT THE SENTENCE DALEY’S NEPHEW RECEIVED WAS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CHICAGO STYLE JUSSTICE!

FIRST JERUSALEM AND NOW THE GOLAN HEIGHTS! GREAT NEWS FOR BENJAMIN NETANYAHU AND JARED KUSHNER.

AS FOR HOW THIS WORKS FOR AMERICA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ONLY TIME WILL TELL. BUT ONE HOPES THAT NEITHER RUSSIA NOR CHINA WILL TAKE THE SAME POSITION AS BIBI WHEN HE SAID RECENTLY “IF ISRAEL OCCUPIES TERRITORY IN A DEFENSIVE WAR, THEN IT’S OURS.”

THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT IN BOTH COUNTRIES ARE USING SEMITIC TROPES TO ADVANCE THEIR OWN POLITCAL AGENDAS AND IN THE PROCESS MAKING THE WORLD LESS SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY!

IF YOU’RE PUTIN AND YOU ARE RUNNING A DIVIDE AND CONQUER STRATEGY WHAT IS NOT TO LIKE ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO AMERICA OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS!
AS A LAW AND ORDER PROPONENT YOU MOST CERTAINLY WANT TO SEE THE BOOK THROWN AT THE TWO PEOPLE WITH LAW DEGREES (COHEN AND MANAFORT). I REALLY HOPE THAT BOTH SERVE THEIR FULL SENTENCES! HOWEVER NEITHER OF THESE GUYS HAD ANYTHING TO WITH RUSSIAN COLLUSION!
TWO YEARS AND 35 MILLION DOLLARS LATER LOOKS MORE LIKE KEN STARR’S WHITEWATER INVESTIGATION WHICH BY THE WAY DIDN’T FIND MUCH THERE EITHER. THIS COUNTRY IS DROWNING IN JUSTICE AND IS REACHING A POINT WHERE ITS DOING MORE HARM THEN GOOD. UNFORTUNATLEY LITTLE IS GOING TO CHANGE IN THAT REGARD WHICH IS GREAT FOR BOTH RUSSIA AND CHINA!

So having signed all of those free trade agreements the POLS modified the Glass Steagall Act which was imposed on banks after the 1929 Stock Market crash. This was done to help create the housing bubble which the POLS then succeeded in blaming on the banks after the bubble burst! The bankers were then rewarded with tax payer funded bonus for taking this PR hit for the POLS.

Recognizing that the up and coming generations will not be doing better than their parents or grandparents the POLS are now setting up the educational system to take the fall for them. Education is now being positioned to solve our declining future fortunes and when it doesn’t accomplish this expect the POLS to blame the teachers! Yup the teachers will be rewarded with pay increases for taking this PR hit for the POLS also!

The Camelot family would pin their future hopes on Teddy and then John John only to see both dreams end in tragic crashes! They are still hoping that someone will emerge from their 3rd generation.
Had 41 won a 2nd term would there have been a 43rd? Did this 3rd generation Bush politician kill the family business or will we see another George (Prescott) emerge here?
As for the Clinton’s maybe they will have more luck with Chelsea! Having unsuccessfully married into the Camelot family Andrew Cuomo would really love to outdo his father as perhaps Donald Jr would as well!
But Barbara Bush was correct it’s time for someone elses family to lead the nation….

ONCE AGAIN THE US HOUSE OF REPS IS HEADING FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF ANOTHER PRESIDENT. THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE LOOKING TO ENHANCE THEIR POLITICAL PROSPECTS FOR WINNING BOTH THE PRESIDENCY AND THE SENATE IN 2020! IN THE NEXT ELECTION THE SENATE REPUBLICANS CONTROL 22 OF THE 34 SEATS UP FOR RELECTION. YOU SHOULD EXPECT THE HOUSE DEMMY’S TO FORCE SENATE REPUB’S TO DEFEND TRUMP.
“IS” TRUMP GUILTY OF SPENDING CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS TO SILENCE PORN STAR STORMY DANIELS AND PLAYMATE KAREN MCDOUGAL OR “IS” HE INNOCENT BECAUSE HE SPENT HIS OWN MONEY ON THEM?
EITHER WAY A POLITCAL WIN/WIN FOR THE DEMOCRATS BUT PERHAPS A LOSE/LOSE FOR THE COUNTRY IF SEX IS ALL THE DEMOCRATS HAVE HERE! WE DON’T NEED THIS ENDING UP IN ANOTHER BULL SHIT WHITEWATER INVESTIGATION OUTCOME. CLINTON SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED (ON THE OTHER HAND BILL DID DESERVE TO LOSE HIS LAW LICENSE FOR COMMITTING PERJURY). IF WE ARE GOING DOWN THIS ROAD AGAIN LETS HOPE THAT RUSSIA IS IN THERE SOMEWHERE!

DEMOCRATS SUPPRESSED VOTER TURNOUT FOR A HUNDRED YEARS SO AS TO MAINTAIN POLITICAL POWER IN THE SOUTH.

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO COMMIT VOTER FRAUD WITH THEIR CALLS TO VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN SO AS TO RETAIN POLITICAL POWER IN THE NORTH.

DEMOCRATS ARE PROTECTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN AN EFFORT TO OBTAIN FUTURE NATIONAL POLITICAL POWER IN WASHINGTON DC.

DEMOCRATS WILL VERY SOON BE BATTING 3 FOR 3… LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL

MY DAUGHTER WAS WAIT LISTED BY HARVARD AND REJECTED BY YALE.

GEORGE W. BUSH WHO WAS A “C” STUDENT AT BEST WAS A 3RD GENERATION LEGACY AS HIS FATHER AND GRANDFATHER BOTH ATTENDED YALE ALSO.

TEDDY KENNEDY WAS A LEGACY STUDENT AS BOTH HIS FATHER AND FUTURE PRESIDENT BROTHER ATTENDED HARVARD. TEDDY WOULD BE EXPELLED FOR CHEATING BUT READMITTED TWO YEARS LATER.

JOHN MCCAIN WAS A 3RD GENERATION LEGACY AS BOTH HIS FATHER AND GRANDFATHER ATTENDED THE NAVAL ACADEMY. MCCAIN WOULD GRADUATE 5TH FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS CLASS.

AT BEST A MIXED BAG BUT NOT COMPARABLE TO THE FOLKS WHO ARE MISREPRESENTING THEMSELVES AS ATHLETES OR WORSE CHEATING ON THEIR SAT’S. I REALLY HOPE THAT SOME OF THESE FOLKS DO SOME SERIOUS JAIL TIME.

AS FOR MY DAUGHTER SHE GRADUATED FROM COLUMBIA WITH A PHD STRICTLY ON HER OWN EFFORTS…SO WE ARE ALL GOOD HERE!

This is a very special holiday that is held every March 17th in Boston MA. The legend behind this holiday is that this is the day that the British Army left Boston during the revolutionary war!
The truth is that when General Washington came to the home of the Bean and the Cod he ate some of both. Hours later he had projectile vomiting from the fish and explosive diarrhea from the beans!
Perhaps the British thought they were under attack but ironically both the British and American Generals evacuated on the very same day…

WATCH A LOT OF GOLF ON THE WEEKENDS. WHY MALE SPECTATORS FEEL THEY HAVE TO ENCOURAGE THE BALL TO DO THIS IS BEYOND ME. BUT MY GUESS IS THAT THEIR WIVES SHOUTED OUT THE VERY SAME THING TO THEM ON THEIR WEDDING NIGHTS!
IN FACT IT WAS ON HER WEDDING NIGHT THAT MRS SAMUEL CLEMENS GAVE HER HUSBAND HIS NOM DE PLUME! TWAIN USED TO SAY THAT GOLF “IS A GOOD WALK SPOILED.” SEEMS HE COULD ONLY SINK A TWELVE FOOTER WHILE IN BED!

NOT SURE WHY WE HAVE ONE OF THESE AS WE HAVE PLENTY OF OUR OWN USA MADE HATE AND THE HOLOCAUST DIDN’T HAPPEN HERE. THAT SAID HAD THE BETTER CLASS OF PEOPLE IN THE USA AND IN THE UK TAKEN ON HITLER SOONER MAYBE THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD TO HAPPEN AT ALL…
SORRY BUT WE HAVE DONE WAY MORE TO OUR AMERICAN NATIVE POPULATION, OUR AMERICAN BLACK POPULATION, OUR AMERICAN JEWISH POPULATION AND OUR AMERICAN JAPANESE POPULATION. NOT SAYING WE SHOULDN’T TALK ABOUT EUROPEAN HATE BUT LETS TALK ABOUT THE ABOVE FOLKS FIRST AND WHILE WE ARE AT IT LETS CHANGE THE NAME TO THE AMERICAN HATE MUSEUM!

We’ve had two lawyer Presidents who faced impeachment in the last century. Perhaps this should not have been a complete surprise given that one was considered tricky and the other slick by their peers! The Tricky one would be pardoned by another lawyer President, while the Slick one did a super job of convincing the country that it was only about sex and not that it is was about perjury. Willie of course would never have gotten away with his it’s about sex ruse in today’s me too environment. But even worse was one Republican Presidential lawyer pardoning another Republican Presidential lawyer. Sorry folks but Dick really should have done some jail time! Is there any wonder why respect for law and order has declined in the country?

The EU is the USA’s canary! This is because EU debt is higher and the fortunes of their native populations has fallen even further and faster than the native US population has.
For example first there was Brexit which was then followed by Trump. The left and their media allies have been working diligently to reverse both of these votes over the last couple of years. They may well succeed but unless they have a very convincing argument for doing so, the right in the UK and USA may well strap on their yellow jackets in protest! Will see…

THIS USED TO BE THE GOLD STANDARD FOR CONDUCT IN THE USA. TODAY IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HURT SOMEONES FEELING EVEN IF THEY PERFORM POORLY. A BIG PART OF THIS PROBLEM IS THAT THE UP AND COMING GENERATIONS HAVE BEEN EDUCATED TO THINK THAT EVERYTHING THEY POOP OUT SMELLS LIKE CHANEL #2.
CURRENTLY SENATOR KLOBUCHAR IS BEING BEATEN UP IN THE MEDIA FOR YELLING AT HER STAFF FOR POOR OR SLOW PERFORMANCE! FRANKLY APPALLING AND VERY LIKELY WHY SHE WILL NOT GET THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS VOTE. ON THE OTHER HAND I WOULD EXPECT HER TO DO WELL WITH THE BOOMER GENERATION WHOSE PARENTS HELD THEIR KIDS TO HIGHER EXPECTATIONS!

So two really desperate (actress) housewives are now looking at some serious jail time! What was really great about the greatest generation was that they let their kids fail! They could afford to do this as they had just conquered the world and even their idiot kids were going to be okay!
That is far less the case and so today’s parents have made certain that their kids are all on the honor roll and getting trophies even when they come in last place! Perhaps thinking that isn’t enough some are allegedly committing fraud to get their kids (who some apparently don’t want to go to college) into college!

We have now gone completely to the other extreme and until mom and dad exit the educational system and let the professionals do their job our schools are going to continue to swirl around the bowl!

FELICITY HUFFMAN APPARENTLY AWOKE TO ARMED FBI AGENTS AT HER DOOR BUT IN THE FBI’S DEFENSE SHE IS AFTER ALL A DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE!

IF YOU ASKED PEOPLE TO NAME THE BEST BUSINESS LEADER FOR THE LAST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY NO QUESTION THAT JACK WELCH’S NAME WOULD APPEAR VERY HIGH ON THIS LIST.
MANY OF AMERICA’S CORPORATIONS ARE BEING RUN TODAY BY EX GE FOLKS WHO WHERE SCHOOLED IN THE NEUTRON JACK METHOD. WELCH WAS CLEARLY A GREAT NUTS AND BOLTS KIND OF LEADER.
BUT LESS THAN 20 YEARS LATER IT IS NOT LOOKING LIKE HE WAS MUCH OF A VISIONARY AND MAKES YOU WONDER ABOUT THE LONG TERM FUTURE OF THOSE COMPANIES THAT ARE BEING RUN BY HIS DISCIPLES!

SEEMS LIKE EVERY NEWS STORY THESE DAYS BEGINS WITH THE WORD ICONIC…FRANKLY DRIVES ME CRAZY…IS EVERYTHING REALLY ICONIC AS THE PRESS WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE? IF SO THEN WHY CAN’T THEY USE OTHER WORDS THAT MEAN THE SAMETHING? PLEASE TRY SOME OF THESE! THANK YOU…

Very early on the Press supported Thomas Jefferson. 200 years later historians are rewriting Jefferson’s legacy and with good reason. JFK is the modern day main stream media version of Jefferson and we will see how long it takes for Historians to rewrite the Kennedy family legacy!
Recently the media attempted to paint and powder the LBJ pig but in the end with little success! Clearly way too many of us who lived thru the Vietnam War and remember how many kids he killed today! Better luck next time though!
That said I have never claimed to have served in Vietnam unlike US Senator Da Nang Dick Blumenthal has!

Whether it was JFK* or Bill Clinton there are still no medications to effectively treat this problem. Perhaps somewhat ironically the pharma companies instead focused on developing medications that actually facilitates this dysfunction!
Over the last year or two we have seen Entertainment industry titans lose their jobs while allegedly seeking a temporary treatment for what ails them. Even Roman Catholic Priests are experiencing some of these same issues as well! Until big pharma can find a fix for this, the only sure cure is to perform a radical circumcision otherwise known as a Lorena Bobbitt!

* According to the legend he came a lot!

Remember during the trial of the century when polls showed that most black people thought that OJ was innocent? You wonder what the polls would say about the juice today. Remember when Michael Jackson still looked like a black person? You wonder what the polls would say about the king of pop today. Great athlete and great singer for sure but great men? Both great questions!

SO KAMALA IS FOR THEM AND BERNIE IS AGAINST THEM! PERSONALLY I THINK WE SHOULD PAY ANY SURVIVING SLAVES! HOWEVER AS THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 154 YEARS OLD THIS IS NOT LIKLEY GOING TO BREAK THE BANK!
THAT SAID I REMEMBER WHEN THE REVEREND AL RAISED THIS SAME ISSUE A FEW YEARS BACK AND YOU CAN BET THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO DISAPPEAR ANYTIME SOON!
AS MY PEOPLE CAME TO THE USA AFTER THE END OF THE CIVIL WAR ANY REPARATIONS THAT ARE EVENTUALLY PAID FOR SLAVERY SHOULD BE PAID BY OTHERS…

TURNS OUT THAT ELIZABETH WARREN’S MAIDEN NAME IS HERRING! MAKES YOU WONDER IF SHE IS RELATED TO VIRGINIA’S ATTORNEY GENERAL MARK HERRING? IF SO THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE A RED FACED HERRING AND A BLACK FACED HERRING FROM THE VERY SAME FAMILY. WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT! MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HENRY LOUIS GATES SHOULD LOOK INTO! PERHAPS WHITE FACED HERRINGS HAVE A GENETIC DISPOSITION TO CHANGE COLOR! EITHER WAY BEN FRANKLIN WAS CORRECT THESE KINDS OF FISH AND RELATIVES DO SMELL AFTER 3 DAYS!

At an event last week, a freshman Democrat from Minnesota made a reference to “political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.” Recently I attended a 3 hour long Bas Mitzvah. One hour in the rabbi was leading us in a prayer for the Israeli military. Two hours in we were singing a song for “our” country and I frankly sat there wondering which country we were actually singing for!
Coming off of the holocaust I completely understand why Jewish people need a plan B.

THE DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED HOUSE IS HEADING TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT TRUMP. THIS WILL PUT THE SENATE REPUBLICANS ON THE SPOT COMING INTO THE 2020 ELECTION. REMOVING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES 67 VOTES WHICH MEANS THAT 22 REPUBLICAN SENATORS MUST JOIN ALL 45 OF THE DEMOCRAT/INDEPENTENT SENATORS TO ACCOMPLISH TRUMP’S REMOVAL.
IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT 22 REPUBLICAN SENATORS ARE UP FOR RELECTION IN 2020! SOME OF THESE FOLKS MAY WELL PREFER GOING INTO THIS ELECTION WITH A PENCE IN CHARGE. AT THE END OF THE DAY IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS WILL ENHANCE THE DEMOCRATS ABILITY TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE SENATE OR PRESIDENCY OR BOTH…

A RECENT EDITORIAL IN THE NY TIMES CALLED FOR THE POPULAR ELECTION OF PRESIDENTS. NO SURPRISE GIVEN THAT THE LAST 2 OUT OF 3 PRESIDENTS DID NOT RECEIVE THE POPULAR VOTE. THE FACT THAT BOTH WERE REPUBLICAN ONLY ADD’S FUEL TO THIS FIRE!
BEYOND THE OBVIOUS FACT THAT HAD THESE ELECTIONS BEEN DECIDED BY THE POPULAR VOTE THE DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE BEEN 3 FOR 3 INSTEAD OF 1 FOR 3, THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION OF THE DISADVANTAGES OF A POPULAR VOTE.
FOR EXAMPLE IS IT POSSIBLE TEN POLITICAL PARTIES WOULD RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY? IF SO WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE CANDIDATE GETS 9% OF THE VOTE, EIGHT CANDIDATES GET 10% OF THIS VOTE AND THE WINNER GETS 11% OF THE VOTE….WHY IS THIS A BETTER OUTCOME FOR AMERICA?
MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY COULDN’T THIS HAPPEN? VERY EASY TO GO AFTER THE IMPERFECT ELECTORAL COLLEGE BUT WHY IS THE POPULAR VOTE MORE PERFECT GIVEN THE ABOVE?

Bela Pelosi the once again speaker of the house wants to teach America how to count. READY?
1 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 2 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 3 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 4 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 5 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 6 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 7 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 8 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 9 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 10 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 11 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 12 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 13 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 14 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 15 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 16 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 17 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 18 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 19 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 20 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 21 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 22 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 23 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 24 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 25 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha.

The better class uses the sport of Tennis as a wonderful example of equality between the sexes. However at the US Open women only have to win 2 out of 3 sets while the men have to win 3 out of 5 sets. Not only that, but women never play against the men so their quality of work is not held to the same level of performance. A great day for Karl Marx if this same standard is eventually applied to golf, basketball, and hockey!

SO THE OWNER OF THE SUPER BOWL WINNER WAS ARRESTED FOR MANUAL STIMULATION! WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY? YOU KNOW, JERK OFF, JACK OFF, WHACK OFF, BEAT OFF…
COULD HAVE SAVED HIMSELF A LOT OF GRIEF AND MANUALLY STIMULATED HIMSELF AT HOME. THE ALLEGED PERP IS CLAIMING THAT HE IS INNOCENT BUT THE COPS SAY THEY HAVE HIM ON CAMERA!
NO INFO ON HOW LONG THE VIDEO IS BUT LETS HOPE HE ISN’T JUST ANOTHER NEW ENGLAND MINUTE MAN!!!!

The ladies in question have now been charged with possession of swollen goods!

For the USA during the 1960’s it was a very real tale of two countries…
The Vietnam War would prompt the political class to make two mistakes with those of us who were 18 at the time. The first was to lower the drinking age (if you can hold a gun you should be able to hold a beer). This of course would increase the carnage on our highways and would be reversed back to 21. The second has never been fixed and that was reducing the voting age to 18 as well. (If they can send you to war you should have a say in doing so).
The fact is that our kids of today have been so sheltered and protected that they know less about what it takes to survive in this world then the 18 year olds of the 19th and 20th centuries! If we were smart we would re-up the age of majority to 21…

AT THE TIME A REASONABLE COMPROMISE WOULD HAVE BEEN TO ALLOW 18 YEAR OLD SOLDIERS TO VOTE AND DRINK!

NOTE: Freshman Rep. Ayanna Pressley proposed lowering the voting age from 18 to 16, suggesting concerns about “maturity” at that age should not be an issue!
The measure failed Thursday, garnering just 111 votes in the House! AMAZING

THE MEDIAN US HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS APPROXIMATELY $60,000. THIS MEANS THAT HALF OF ALL US FAMILIES MAKE LESS THAN 60K WHILE THE OTHER HALF MAKES MORE THAN 60K.
THE LONG TERM REALITY IS THAT IF YOU ARE A “RICH” MAN YOUR TAXES ARE GOING TO GO UP!!! HOW MUCH OR HOW LITTLE WILL DEPEND ON IF ONE PARTY IS IN CONTROL OF BOTH THE WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS.
THE DEMMIES ARE PRIMARILY CHASING THE “POOR” MAN SO IN THOSE STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA AND CONNECTICUT WHERE THEY ARE IN CONTROL TAXES ARE WAY UP WITH THE REALLY RICH MOVING OUT OF THOSE STATE AS FAST AS THEY CAN!
SORRY FOLKS BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE HAVE GOT TO PAY OFF THE 22 TRILLION DOLLAR NATIONAL DEBT (WHICH IS ACTUALLY 25 TRILLION WHEN YOU DEDUCT THE 3 TRILLION SS SURPLUS)

NOT SURE WHY HOLLYWOOD WAS SHOCKED OVER GREEN BOOK WINNING FOR BEST PICTURE!
THE ACADEMY SHOOTS ITSELF IN THE FOOT WHEN IT PICKS AN ALLEGED HOMOPHOBIC BLACK GUY TO HOST THE AWARDS THEN TURNS AROUND AND GIVES THE BEST MOVIE NOD TO A MOVIE ABOUT A GAY BLACK GUY!
NO REEL SURPRISE HERE.
FRANKLY THESE CEREMONIES HAVE BECOME SO POLITICIZED THAT I STOPPED WATCHING THEM ALTOGETHER IN THE LAST FEW YEARS!

US General Odum is reported to have said “The invasion of Iraq I believe will turn out to be the greatest strategic disaster in U.S. history.”
I agree and is why I didn’t vote for W for a 2nd term! It’s why I didn’t vote for John Kerry either! Or for that matter Hilary Clinton! If the so-called moderate Democrats are thinking of running Joe Biden in 2020 and he is the eventually nominee I will be voting for a 3rd party candidate again!
However I’m quite sure that the Demmy’s will be running a lady again and thank god it won’t be a woman who owes her political career because of her Ex-President husband! Unless it Michelle!!!!

Used to be that polite society shunned both actors and circus people. Today the clowns are no longer performing under the big top but rather holding office in Washington DC instead! As for actors the pendulum has swung completely the other way and everything these folks now poop out, is being viewed as smelling like Chanel #2. The biggest benefactor of all of this are the PT Barnum family of the 21st century; the Kardashian and Jenner clan. In today’s social media environment a sucker is now born every second!

HAVING DECIDED THAT I COULD NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR THE IRAQI WAR RESOLUTION, I VOTED FOR A 3RD PARTY CANDIDATE FOR US PRESIDENT IN 2004. ONCE AGAIN IN 2016 I WOULD DO THE SAME AS HILLARY HAD VOTED FOR THIS RESOLUTION AS WELL.
WHILE I SUPPORT A TWO PARTY SYSTEM I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBICANS HAVE MADE IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS FOR INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES AND PARTIES TO SUCCEED.
THIS IS UNFORTUNATE AS WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THE EMERGENCE OF THE RADICAL LEFT IN RESPONSE TO THE EMERGENCE OF THE RADICAL RIGHT. THOSE OF US IN THE MIDDLE WILL HAVE TO INCREASINGLY HOLD OUR NOSES AND PICK THE LESSOR OF TWO EVILS!

SO THE LGBTQIA COMMUNITY IS CUTTING TIES WITH MARTINA NAVRATILOVA AFTER SHE REPORTLY SAID THAT IT WAS A FORM OF CHEATING TO ALLOW TRANSGENDER WOMEN TO COMPETE IN WOMEN SPORTS!
THAT BUS HAS LEFT THE STATION AND THE SPORT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME! JUST THINK OF HOW MANY GOLD METALS CAITLYN JENNER WOULD HAVE WON AT THE 1976 OLYMPICS HAD SHE COMPETED AS A WOMAN?

So another pretty young girl allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant who apparently had documents at one time! Packing her up in a suitcase and dumping her on the side of the road is not a great endorsement for our completely out of control immigration policy! Not thrilled with Trumps wall but not jumping up and down with excitement over the democrats do almost nothing approach either!
Would help if those who call them undocumented could explain why none of these document less folks are less likely to do harm as they allegedly did in Iowa recently. My guess in that particular case is that the alleged murderer was in fact more likely to have murdered her as he knew that on top of everything else he wanted to do to her he was also here illegally…
Just one too many problems for him and tragically one last problem for her!

DURING PROHIBITION BOTH DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN POLITICANS TURNED A BLIND EYE TO THE ILLEGAL IMPORTATION AND CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL IN THE USA. UNFORTUNATELY THIS ALLOWED FOR THE CREATION OF AN ORGANIZED CRIME ORGANIZATION THAT TOOK MANY DECADES TO FIX!
THE DEMMY’S AND THE REPUB’S HAVE ONCE AGAIN TURNED A BLIND EYE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE LASTING CONSEQUENCES OF THAT WILL BE FOR AMERICA!

So some local NYC and NY state pols declared victory over the soon to be not richest man in the world! No 25,000 jobs in Queens either even thou the majority of folks wanted them! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot! But not to worry the never to be passed Green New Deal that promises a living wage for those who are unable or unwilling to work will be the coup de grace for your other foot!
Is this another example of the tyranny of the minority or just perhaps the silent majority taking it on the chin again?

Well past the time that the world take climate change seriously. Unfortunately recent rioting there over diesel fuel taxes will likely have the reverse political effect in France. All well and good to have 140 nations signing on to a voluntary climate change treaty but when the world’s number one carbon polluter exports coal burning technology to other countries it’s time to try something else! Frankly would rather have 40 countries signing on to a mandatory accord who then impose a carbon tax on the 100 countries who don’t sign on? But will the K cup generation be willing to pay more for their cellphones and video games?

The USA the world’s most successful capitalist country is moving to become the world largest socialistic country. China the world’s largest socialistic country is moving to become the world’s most successful capitalistic country. As Winston Churchill once said “Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.” The Chinese are using their predatory capitalist tiger to fill their sturdy wagon in any way they can. In the USA we have chosen to milk our capitalist cow dry. The communist Chinese recognize what Churchill understood long ago “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” In the West the Natives are becoming increasingly miserable!

My oldest brother liked to go bird hunting and I understood and respected that. My oldest brother in law on the other hand was gunned down by his next door neighbor and needless to say I had no understanding or respect for that!
Whether it’s twenty beautiful little 6 and 7 year olds in Sandy Hook or 58 adults in Las Vegas attending a concert it seems that Joseph Stalin was correct when he said “one person’s death is a tragedy and a million is a statistic”. (Joe should know he killed way more than that!)

Is the USA headed to becoming a nation of Joe Stalins? Only time will tell…

1.LOBBYIST MONEY HAS ABSOLUTLEY NO INFLUENCE ON HOW OUR DC POLITICANS VOTE!
2.THE JEWISH LOBBY HAS ABSOLUTELY NO SWAY OVER WASHINGTON POLICY!
THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY BUT IN THOSE DAYS THERE WAS NO MONEY INFLUENCING WASHINGTON POLITICS! TODAY, WITH DC AWASH IN BENJAMINS IT IS ALL ABOUT THE TYRANNY OF THE MINORITY! THIS ISSUE IS NOT JUST LIMITED TO THE MIDDLE EAST BUT LETS FACE IT THINGS THERE HAVE CLEARLY GONE FROM BAD TO WORSE!

So Padma Lakshmi was accused of ‘cultural appropriation’ for wearing corn rows in her hair! Padma is not black but rather of Indian (as in India) decent!
No more soul food cooking for her! No more pizza’s from Wolfgang Puck! No more Spanish cooking from Bobby Flay! No more French cooking from Emeril Lagasse! And please no more cooking from Rachel Ray!

Over the years it seems that my NY Sunday Times has gotten more expensive while getting thinner. May perhaps explain why they are publishing Op-Eds making super ridiculous claims about Mary Poppins and racism!
Seems that silly season is spreading from DC to other parts of the country. With that in mind please allow me to pile on and warn the ladies of color to stop wearing white lipstick and white eyeliner…otherwise you to may find yourselves in the same Supercalifragilisticexpialiridiculous boat that soot-faced Mary now finds herself in!
Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay….

SO ONE ISN’T THINKING WITH HIS BIG HEAD WHILE THE OTHER IS THINKING WITH HIS LITTLE HEAD!
I THOUGHT I HAD READ IN ONE OF THEIR PUBLICATIONS THAT COCK FIGHTING WAS ON THE RISE IN THE USA. WHO KNEW HOW MUCH!
SUGGEST THEY FIGHT IT OUT IN THE RING AND BUY THEIR FIGHTING GEAR AT THE MENS SPORTING GOOD STORE…YOU KNOW THE ONE THEY CALL DICK’S…

After the Civil War, southern white male democrats began to practice wide spread voter suppression against black male voters. With the 1960’s civil rights legislation these white democrats would then move on to the Republican Party. Over the same period northern white male democrats controlled the big cities like New York and Chicago where they practiced wide spread voter fraud with their calls to vote early and often! These big city white guys are still democrats and still leading the Democratic Party but what can be seen from the democrat primaries of 2018 is that these white guy days of leading the democrat party are numbered! And rightly so! As for suppression and fraud expect them to be practiced by one or the other party. We need the Freedom card NOW!

SINCE ITS FOUNDING THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN RUN BY OLD WHITE GUYS. SOME DID A GOOD JOB WHILE OTHERS NOT SO MUCH. BUT EVENTUALLY ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA HAS NOW BECOME A CESSPOOL OF LOBBYIST AND FILTHY LUCRE! VERY SOON THIS COUNTRY WILL HAVE MORE PEOPLE OF COLOR THAN WHITE FOLK. SO LETS BEGIN TO PASS THE TORCH TO ALL WOMEN AND MEN OF COLOR AND LET’S SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH IT! BYE, BYE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

SO WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF AT ALL SENATOR WARREN CLAIMED TO BE AN AMERICAN INDIAN!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE MILLIONAIRESS SENATOR WHILE NOT PROVIDING ANY PROOF AT ALL, CLAIMS TO HAVE NOT PERSONALLY BENEFITED FROM MAKING THIS CLAIM!
DON’T WE ALREADY HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT DOES THIS? WHY WOULD WE NEED ANOTHER?
AN INDIAN WILL WIN THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IT JUST WON’T BE AN AMERICAN INDIAN! WILL IT BE HARRIS OR HALEY?

A DRIED SMOKED HERRING, WHICH IS TURNED RED BY THE SMOKE.
WHAT THEN IS A BLACK HERRING? A WHITE MALE VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT WEARING BLACKFACE!
SO WE NOW HAVE TWO SOUTHERN POLITICIANS WHO ARE CLAIMING THAT THEY WERE ONLY DOING IMITATIONS OF TWO BLACK SINGERS!
ME THINKS THE OTHER DEFINITON OF RED HERRING MIGHT APPLY HERE: SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY A CLUE, THAT IS OR IS INTENDED TO BE MISLEADING OR DISTRACTING

AS THE DEMOCRATS INCREASINGLY BECOME THE PARTY OF COLOR, THE REPUBS HAVE BECOME THE PARTY OF WHITE SOUTHERNERS, WHITE EX-UNION MEMBERS, WHITE RELIGIOUS RIGHTERS, WHITE PRO-LIFERS AND WHITE NRA MEMBERS.
DEMOGRAPHICALLY AND POLITICALLY NOT A GREAT PLACE FOR LONG TERM SUCCESS. TRUMP AND HIS REPUBLICAN RIGHT ALLIES WILL EVENTUALLY DOOM THIS PARTY TO EXTINCTION…

Not all that long ago the environmental community raved about their efforts to clean up Pittsburgh! In the end all they really accomplished was to move the steel plants to Asia and into plants that belched out even more carbon!
On top of this they are actively pushing back on the use of non-carbon generating nuclear power plants in favor of wind and solar which will not provide anything close to what the world needs for energy.
But on the upside at least the most famous greenhead of them all, Leonardo DiCaprio has ditched his private jet and is now flying commercial!!!

Plus all of the ex-union steelworkers would then go on to vote for the pro climate changer Trump.

Mika Brzezinski asked a potential Presidential candidate if he knew what the price of a box of cheerios was. Either another example of how ridiculous or partisan or both that the mainstream media has become. Her father the former national security advisor to Jimmy Carter is very likely turning over in his grave at how inane the politics and the media have become in the USA!
Unfortunately Zbig’s very partisan democrat daughter didn’t ask Howard Schultz how much a Rice Krispy marshmallow treat costs. Now that’s a question Schultz could have answered for her!

Hillary Rodham Clinton was only half correct when she stated that Europe has an immigration problem. The fact is the West has lost complete control over their borders! In the USA this all began with Ronnie Reagan granting amnesty to 3 million people who came to the USA illegally. After that anyone with half a brain understood that it was easier to become a US citizen by illegal means then legal ones! Politically, this is a very difficult problem to solve as the Democrats get 70% of their votes, while the Republicans get 70% of the campaign contributions from the folks who hire them to flip their burgers and mattresses. Sorry but no Trump Tower wall is going to fix this either!

Power corrupts and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely. FDR would allow Unions to monopolize industries. Overtime the UAW would use this absolute power to effectively drive the Big Three into what has now become the Little Three. Yes, the political General Managers of these companies helped to accelerate the decline of the American Auto industry as well but the industry was doomed by the absolute power of a Union monopoly. In the 1960’s JFK would allow government employees to join Unions and we now have a largest Union in the USA doing the very same to our public schools. If you don’t think so then take a look at how the US ranks against the rest of the world in math, science and reading!

WHITESKINS, OR BLACKSKINS, OR BROWNSKINS OR YELLOWSKINS…QUITE SURE NO NFL TEAM WILL BE USING THOSE NAMES BUT FOR SOME STRANGE REASON REDSKINS IS OKAY WITH THE NFL!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT’S THE NAME OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM IN OUR NATIONS CAPITAL NO LESS.
DOES SEEM TO ME THAT THE NEXT TIME ONE OR MORE OF OUR DC BASED POLITICAL LEADERS ATTENDS ONE OF THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAMES THEY SHOULD TAKE A (WOUNDED) KNEE WHEN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS!

Back in the day my father would come home and turn on Walter Cronkite and read his newspaper! Today the media environment has exploded and we get the news 24/7 from a variety of sources including social media.
The Dems are outraged when Trump attacks their media allies but of course it is perfectly ok for them to attack Fox News! Say what you will about the naïve 1950’s but it beats the hell out of today’s media environment! Sometimes more isn’t better!

A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS ON A FLIGHT FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO SEATTLE. IN THE WINDOW AND CENTER SEATS WERE TWO RATHER LARGE PEOPLE THAT I ASSUMED WERE HUSBAND AND WIFE. THEY HAD THROWN UP THE ARM RESTS AND LITERALLY LEFT ME WITH ABOUT ½ OF MY AISLE SEAT! I IMAGINED THAT IF THE PLANE WAS FULL I WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND IN S.F. AS THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY FIT IN WHAT REMAINED OF MY SEAT.
PERHAPS HAD THESE TWO NEVER FLOWN BEFORE THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A LEGITIMATE EXCUSE BUT THEY WERE OLDER THAN ME AND SO NOT VERY LIKELY…IN THAT CASE THREE THINGS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED; AT LEAST ONE OF THEM SHOULD HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO GET OFF THE PLANE SO I COULD HAVE HAD MY FULL SEAT, OR THEY SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED 3 COACH SEATS TOGETHER OR TWO FIRST CLASS SEATS.

SO BARRISTA SHULTZ IS LOOKING TO BECOME PRESIDENT SHULTZ. WHEN THE ODDS ARE EVENLY SPLIT BETWEEN THE 2 FAVORITES (LEFT WING AND RIGHT WING) BET ON THE CENTRIST LONG SHOT!
THE LADY LEFT WING DEMMY’S HAVE GOT TO BE PISSED OVER THIS POSSIBILTY AS THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE A HAMMER LOCK ON THE 2020 ELECTION. WHILE HOWARD IS A DEMMY HE UNDERSTANDS THAT NO WHITE GUY HAS A PRAYER IN HELL OF GETTING THE DEMMY NOMINATION!
WITH THE ELIMINATION OF THE SUPER DELEGATES ON THE FIRST BALLOT AND THE PROSPECT OF A LARGE FIELD THE DEMS WILL BE WAVING LOTS OF RED MEAT AT THEIR EXTREME LEFT WING…

American citizens traveling to North Korea, Iran, Syria. Once they are “detained” their relatives are begging the State Department or the President to do whatever it takes to get them back.
Not only is this a huge distraction for our strategic diplomacy objectives but it puts our citizens who are smart enough to stay at home at an increased potential risk! Especially when money changes hands!
At some point in time the USA needs to draw a deep line in the sand and let some of these dummies rot in some foreign jail cell or perhaps even worse…

The Nobel Prize Winning Economist Milton Friedman considered himself to be a liberal in the classical meaning of the word. He would understand that today’s so called liberal is in reality a Socialist. What then is a conservative? A conservative socialist. For career Politician’s there is little advantage to being label correctly! In fact the so called liberal progressives are actually Marxist. As Shakespeare says a rose by any other name still smells….

They say that the 3rd generation is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. In that case the first generation is the greatest generation, this is the generation that did a great job of killing both Germans and Japanese. They would come home from the war to spawn the 2nd generation currently known as the baby boomer generation. The Boomers gave birth to latch key kids who spent weekends visiting Dad’s house. No wonder then that this 3rd generation has become the Entitled Generation. Entitled to be on the honor roll and with trunk loads of trophies for coming in last place! What will we be calling the 4th generation? The burger and mattress flipper generation!

In spite of all the scare tactics we are not going to turn the clocks all the way back on Roe versus Wade although there may be some limited changes to it around the margins.
Apparently Jane Roe wanted abortion to be available whenever and wherever a woman wanted one. The all-male Supremes’ would vote 7-2 to allow abortion up to fetal viability.
What I frankly don’t understand then is why after viability it is still called a fetus instead of a baby. Calling it a baby would of course imply that it has legal rights and why shouldn’t it?

NOTE: The new New York abortion law apparently means that the baby/fetus can be aborted right up to the day of its birth!

SORRY GUYS BUT YOUR DAYS HAVE COME AND GONE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY….
PEOPLE OF COLOR AND WHITE WOMEN ARE THE FUTURE DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL LEADERS AND THE VERY NEXT US PRESIDENT WILL BE A LADY DEMOCRAT!
AS FOR BERNIE HE’S NOT EVEN A DEMMY WHILE BLOOMBERG DID SOME TIME WITH THE REPUBS!
MY ONE WISH FOR THE LADIES IS THAT THEY STOP DRESSING LIKE MEN AND FOR GOD’S SAKES PLEASE LOSE THE PANTS SUITS!

Remember during the trial of the century when polls showed that most black people thought that OJ was innocent? You wonder what the polls would say about the juice today. Remember when Michael Jackson still looked like a black person? You wonder what the polls would say about the king of pop today. Great athlete and great singer for sure but great men? Both great questions!

Recently Mika Brzezinski called our secretary of state a “wannabe dictator’s butt boy”. Some thought that this was a homophobic remark and maybe it was. But isn’t that dependent on exactly what MBS was going to insert into Pompeo’s butt or does that no longer make a difference anymore? Sorry but the LGBTQIA line is moving way too fast for me…what letter are they going to add next?

Having retired last year from royal duties Prince Philip should have already retired from driving as well. Some years ago I was injured in a car accident that was caused by an 87 year old lady with coke bottle eye glasses and wearing two hearing aids! Her driving license had just been renewed for another four years.
My father in law was a lousy driver at 65 but continued to drive into his 90’s. His kids never asked him to stop! Yes I understand that people want to maintain their independence but this is pure lunacy! If the family can’t or won’t stop them from driving then the State needs to step in to protect the rights of those of us who stand to be injured or killed….
If the bonnie prince insists on driving then let him drive a Tesla!

The world is undergoing another leadership change with power shifting from the West to the East. The better class of people in the West are moving to take control over their governments. The last time this happened you had the better class of the “peace in our time” crowd in UK and the American Firster folks in the USA. Had these two groups moved against Fascism and Herr Hitler sooner perhaps just 6 dead Nazi’s as opposed to 60 million dead. One hopes that the better class does a better job* this time around. As for the worser class they have no one to blame but themselves had they done a better job since the end of WWII maybe we would not have found ourselves in this kind of boat!

*If you’re looking for a more recent example, then look at how Obama handled Syria.

Besides building pyramids and piles of debt we are burying ourselves under tons of lawsuits! The fact is we are using the legal system in much the same way the French used the guillotine during their revolution. This isn’t to say that the first 200 Frenchman didn’t have it coming to them, it’s the next 20,000 “off with their heads” that the mob demanded that is more difficult to justify! With the emergence of the social media mob the legal environment in the USA will become increasingly more challenging. It is one thing to drink justice from a glass, something else to drink it from the bottom of the Potomac. Unfortunately as 40% of Congress are lawyers you should expect no help from this quarter anytime soon…

Los Angeles teachers are on strike for more money and less pupils! So less work for more pay the standard union mantra. Very likely the democratically controlled city will end up throwing more good money after bad there. Would be interesting to see in those countries that are beating the USA in education; how many pupils they have, how many days they go to school and how much the teachers are paid as compared to teachers in LA.
The Teachers Union want kids to start earlier which of course requires hiring more teachers as opposed to extending the school year which doesn’t. And you do have to ask yourself if older kids retain things better than younger ones!

Note la la teachers have settled for more money and less work!!!!

DURING THE CIVIL WAR THE SOUTH HAD EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO END SLAVERY. BUT WITH THE POLITICAL COMPROMISE OF 1877 SOUTHERN WHITE MEN WOULD WIN THE PEACE! IN AN EFFORT TO REINFORCE THIS MESSAGE WAR MEMORIALS SPRUNG UP IN MANY PUBLIC PLACES.
ADDING INSULT TO INJURY THE SOUTHERN WHITE POPULATION IMPOSED JIM CROW DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ITS BLACK CITIZENS. AS A HISTORY BUFF I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THESE WAR MEMORIAL SHOULD BE DESTROYED BUT INSTEAD REMOVED FROM STATE OR LOCAL PUBLIC LANDS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I DISAGREE WITH THE REMOVAL OF GEORGE WASHINGTON’S NAME PLATE FROM HIS CHURCH PEW, THE PUSH TO RE-NAME FANEUIL HALL, AND THE NAME CHANGE OF (JOHN C.) CALHOUN COLLEGE AT YALE UNIVERSITY.

Both are angry but one is old and one is young. One is right and one is left. One is richer and one is poorer. One’s fortunes have come down while the other ones fortunes are coming up. As power shifts to the left one may get even angrier while the other one may get even happier!
How this increasing political and racial divide plays out over time remains to be seem, but in the next few decades people of color will be in the majority* in the USA. Will be interesting then to see how our political leaders thread this needle so as to minimize any racial conflict!

* Reagan promised immigration amnesty to 1 million that in the end turned into 3 million. Assuming 10 million undocumented illegals today expect 30 million new USA citizens when and if we “fix” our broken immigration system!

BOTH INCOME INEQUALITY AND WEALTH DISTRIBUTION ARE AT ALL TIME HIGHS AND LOWS RESPECTIVELY. BEGINNING IN THE 1970’S CEO PAY BEGAN TO GO THRU THE ROOF. EVEN CEO PAY AT NON PROFITS (IN SOME CASES STARTED BY PROMINENT FAMILIES AND RUN BY THEIR KIDS) HAS GONE CRAZY AS WELL!
FRANKLY WE NEED TO GET RID OF ALL TAX DEDUCTIONS AND RE-INSTITUTE THE SO-CALLED DEATH/INHERITANCE TAX. AS FOR OCASIO-CORTEZ AND PAUL KRUGMAN’S COMMENTS ABOUT A 70% TAX RATE, BASICALLY THE WEALTHY ARE THEN ON THERE WAY TO AUSTRALIA!
UNLESS WE ARE IN A STATE OF WAR THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NEVER BECOME THE SENIOR PARTNER FOR ANY ONES INCOME. BUT YEAH THE RICH DO NEED TO PAY MORE!

As a first generation American on my German paternal side, I am grateful that America took them in as my father would have likely ended up frozen to death in a snowbank outside of Moscow. My grandfather who came here legally, was a tool and die maker which was a skill that was very much needed during the War.
With each new immigrant class America has reinvented itself and I am personally very much encouraged by what I am seeing from our new Asian immigrant population. But we also need to remember that we have a black population that has never fully benefited from being American. After Centuries of both physical and social enslavement we need to give these Americans citizens preference over those who are not and wish to become one….

After World War II America’s track record in Asia was extremely problematic. For starters in China, the USA backed the wrong warlord. This would result in our “losing” China, which in turn would provoke our involvement in Korea, ending in a very bloody tie. JFK would then commit the USA to fighting in Vietnam by effectively “green lighting” the assassination of President Diem. Not to be outdone LBJ would then hamstring the military’s ability to fight ending in a humiliating defeat for the US. As China continues to emerge the reunification of its country will become an increasing pinch point for the West. To a lesser extent the reunification of Korea could minimize any potential pinch points in Asia as well.   

French President Macron is correct that the EU needs their own national military! Unfortunately for Macron the EU is up to their eyeballs in debt and withdrawing from their international military (NATO) would require a nationalistic political will that does not exist. The EU can do one or the other, it can’t do both. Eventually the USA will come to this same conclusion. America can either defend itself in the East or the West but not both. Over time the US will continue to move its increasingly limited military assets to the Pacific. Ironically the sooner the EU embraces military nationalism the safer it will make the world for Democracy!

PRINT, TV, CABLE, INTERNET, BLOGS, SOCIAL MEDIA HAVE MADE FOR AN EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT. THE MORE BLOOD AND GUTS THE MORE ATTENTION A STORY GETS WITH VIEWERS. THE NEED TO BE THE FIRST WITH THE SCOOP IS DRIVING THE MARKET PLACE AND STORIES THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WOULDN’T HAVE TOUCHED IN THE PAST ARE NOW APPEARING ALMOST EVERYWHERE.
AS A RESULT LITTLE ATTENTION AND EVEN LESS RESOURCES ARE BEING INVESTED INTO PUTTING THEM INTO ANY KIND OF OVERALL CONTEXT. DOING THAT OF COURSE COULD NOT ONLY IMPACT ON BEING FIRST TO MARKET BUT MIGHT ALSO EFFECT THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD THAT APPEARS IN THE STORY! BY THE TIME THE OTHER HALF OF THE STORY GETS OUT (IF THERE IS ONE AND IT DOES GET OUT) THE HARM HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE.
AS SECRETARY OF LABOR RAY DONOVAN ONCE SAID, “WHICH OFFICE DO I GO TO, TO GET MY REPUTATION BACK?”

In 1933 the American people came to their senses and repealed the 18th amendment, which would once again allow the consumption of alcohol in the USA.
However in 1914 Congress had passed the Harrison Act which would only allowed doctors to dispense drugs. No longer able to buy and self-medicate addicts went to doctors who would treat them for their addiction. But in 1919 the Supreme Court ruled that drug addiction was not a disease and doctors could no longer do that and the illegal drug trade began to flourish!
Now unfortunately just saying no wasn’t ever going to work and the legalization of marijuana is a good first step. That is of course as long as all of the tax revenue raised from its sale is going to be spent on the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Otherwise all we’ve done is to make the problem even more unwinnable!

In the drive to promote equality between the sexes it makes you wonder if the physically weaker sex are putting themselves in increasingly more dangerous situations.
Or perhaps it has nothing to do with this and it’s just naiveté on the part of some. But it does seem like we are hearing more god awful stories about young ladies who were jogging alone, or staying alone in a third world country or hiking alone in the wilderness. Yes this can and does happen to the physically stronger sex as well but either happens less or gets less media attention.
Sure everyone should be able to jog or hike or live anywhere they wish but that is still not the world we live in! As the father of two very smart and successful daughters I hope they take note of this and please be careful out there!

I have always found the golden globes to be aptly named! In general I’m supportive of the me too movement but do think that some ladies need to give the horny young guys and dirty old men more of a fighting chance to behave!
Yes, there needs to be zero tolerance for sexual assault but I can’t help but think that in some cases harassment is being conflated as assault. As for sexual harassment, I really need to know where harassment ends and free speech begins!

THE WEST IS IN DECLINE WHILE THE EAST IS ON THE RISE. THE BETTER CLASS OF PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU THAT BY THE TIME CHINA BECOMES THE NEXT WORLD LEADER THEY WILL BE A DEMOCRACY. MAYBE THEY WILL AND MAYBE THEY WON’T. ON THE OTHER HAND WILL THE WEST BE MORE DEMOCRATIC OR MORE DICATORIAL? REMEMBER BOTH LENIN AND HITLER WERE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED. WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BE FOR ONE OR THE OTHER IN EITHER THE EAST OR WEST REMAINS TO BE SEEM. BUT VERY LIKELY THIS WILL BE DRIVEN BY HOW FAST AND HOW HARD THE DECLINE IS IN THE WEST!

In the 19^th Century, Europe lead by the British Empire was on first base. In the 20^th Century, America lead by the US was on first base. In the 21st Century, Asia lead by China will be on first base. As the USA moves to second base WHAT kind of global role it plays remains to be seen but one assumes that it will be increasingly a Pacific driven strategy. As for who will be on 3^RD base during the Chinese Century will it be the EU or will it be Russia?

                                                             I DON’T KNOW!

Any future economic collapse in the US will drive the usual guns versus butter political debate. Only this time around we will have a much higher percentage of our population (60%) who will be largely dependent on government largesse. For the military this debate is made even more challenging given its conversion from a citizen soldier to a professional soldier. This disconnection of the armed forces from the vast majority of Americans who did not serve will make it even more likely that any future political decision will favor passing the fat* over passing the ammo!      

*If the voter’s choice comes down to Grandma living on her own (butter) or Grandma living in their basement (guns) then bring on the cholesterol

I don’t believe that Trump will run for re-election and I am not even sure that he will still be President by then anyway!
But that said it is increasingly looking like the democrats will be having their own primary version in 2020 that the republicans had in 2016. Expect 20 plus democratic candidates waving tons of red meat at the extreme left wing. But unlike 2016 the democrat super delegates who have acted as a check against mob rule in the party are now forced to sit on the side lines for the first delegate vote count at the 2020 convention.
Driven by the social media mob expect a woman to emerge as the eventual nominee maybe even a woman who is a minority (depending on what your definition of minority “is”)

The Prohibition of Booze would begin as a very transparent political process with the Woman’s Temperance League calling for a ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol.
Unfortunately for the ladies, America was a country of beer swilling Germans, whiskey sipping Irishmen and wine slurping Italians and there was no way they were going to give up their favorite pastime!
So the anti-liquor wolves strapped on their sheep’s clothing and became a less transparent political process by morphing into the anti-saloon league. In other words we’re not going to take all of your booze away only your saloon. That worked wonders for the ladies who would then take off their sheep’s clothing and close not only the saloons but all of America’s breweries, wineries and distillers as well.
This social engineering effort would not only end as an abject failure but created long term organized crime problems for the US. The most important lesson from all of this is that while a political process may start as a completely transparent process they don’t always end that way! In the increasingly partisan environment we live in you should expect to see more of this!

HAVING SEEN ONE OF THESE I UNDERSTAND THAT SPACE TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE. BUT THE USA’S MANNED MISSION TO THE MOON WAS A HUGELY EXPENSIVE FEEL GOOD PR PROGRAM. WE COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THIS WITH AN UNMANNED EFFORT AT FAR LESS COST AND RISK. HAVING DONE THIS A FEW TIMES THE COUNTRY LOST COMPLETE INTEREST AND WE NEVER WENT BACK!
NASA WOULD THEN MOVE ON TO THE SPACE SHUTTLE WHICH NEVER CAME CLOSE TO LIVING UP TO NASA’S PROMISES AND WENT DOWN IN FLAMES IN ANOTHER FEEL GOOD TEACHER IN SPACE PR EFFORT. NOT ONLY SHOULD IT NOT HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED ON THE DAY IT WAS BUT IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE INCLUDED A CIVILIAN!
NASA IS NOW PITCHING AN EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS MANNED MISSION TO MARS! I THINK THE UNMANNED STUFF NASA IS DOING IS MONEY BETTER SPENT.

I WAS IN SOUTH BOSTON ON THE FIRST DAY OF FORCED BUSING AND IT WAS AN ARMED CAMP! THIS WAS AN EFFORT TO INTEGRATE SOUTH BOSTON HIGH SCHOOL, MANDATED BY FEDERAL JUDGE GARRITY AND SUPPORTED BY TEDDY (BUS THE KENNEDY KIDS) KENNEDY AND THE BOSTON (SOMEONE IS SHOOTING AT THE BUILDING) GLOBE.
WHAT GARRITY, KENNEDY AND THE GLOBE COULDN’T DO WAS TO FORCE THE IRISH TO CONTINUE TO LIVE IN SOUTH BOSTON. THE END RESULT HAD A LONG TERM NEGATIVE IMPACT ON INTEGRATING THE CITY AS THE WHITE NATIVES MOVED TO THE SUBURBS.
SO WHAT I WANT THE INCREASINGLY PARTISAN FOLKS ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT TO KNOW IF THEY KEEP THIS UP IS SOMETHING JAMES GARNER ONCE SAID IN A MOVIE “BASICALLY I’M ON MY WAY TO AUSTRALIA!”

The Civil War initially was about preserving the union and with the issuance of the emancipation proclamation then became a war to end slavery. With the assassination of Lincoln the radical republicans would then attempt to impose equality on the South. This effort would end with the presidential election of Rutherford B. Hayes. Jim Crow would then impose a social enslavement on our black citizens. These citizens have never been fully integrated into our society and unfortunately the millions of illegal immigrant are impacting on our ability to accomplish this as much and as fast as possible.

Western style socialist democracies are using increasing quantities of debt to sustain their citizen’s standard of living. In the USA we are running a huge deficit with Medicare health costs and even the interest payments on our national debt* could outstrip Medicare debt. If the West fails to fix this you should expect a global economic collapse within the next decade. This will be a long term depression as the West will be unable to borrow its way out of it as it did with the Great Recession of 2008. Banks and others that were saved by TARP will fail this time around exacerbating and accelerating this crash. Asia lead by China will then become the Economic world leader and as they say “He who has the gold rules”.  

* The almost 3 trillion dollar Social Security surplus is being applied against the national debt and as that is paid out to retirees our debt will increase accordingly!

Beginning this year, Social Security will pay out more money from their trust fund than they will take in to the fund. Unless things change they will deplete this fund by 2034. What that means for people born after 1968 is that every single dollar YOU have put into Social Security for YOUR retirement will have been given to someone else*. Perhaps another reason why there is a pyramid on the US dollar….

* Assumes you are not disabled during this time period.

From the very first day of this country the 5th estate took a very partisan position favoring the Agrarian, Pro-French, and States Right political camp over the Mercantile, Pro-English, and Central Government camp. In the short term this was very helpful for the Jeffersonian (left) side in prevailing over the Hamiltonian (right) side. This would increasingly change after the Civil War when both big government and big business would emerge.
Today the left continues to enjoy a huge main stream media advantage over the right and in the age of the internet that advantage has only increased. The creation of the social media mob will increasingly drive the USA from Socialism towards Marxism!

During the American Revolution the founding fathers watched the mob switch sides depending on which army was encamped nearby! Over the last 200 years we have stripped some of those republican protections away in an effort to become more democratic.
Increasingly today we are hearing calls to dismantle the Electoral College, to eliminate the US Senate and to stack or impose term limits on the Supreme Court! There are always two edges to every sword and while doing these things may make us more democratic the downside is that it can also empower the mob!
Remember the Democratic French Revolution decapitated the King only to eventually give rise to an even more powerful Emperor!

IF YOU DROP TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC FROGS INTO A POT OF HOT WATER THEY WILL BOTH RECOGNIZE THE THREAT AND JUMP OUT. BUT IF YOU DROP BOTH INTO A POT OF COLD WATER AND THEN TURN THE HEAT ON IT IS LESS LIKELY THAT THE TACTICAL FROG JUMPS OUT AND SAVE ITSELF.
AS THERE ARE WAY MORE TACTICAL THINKING PEOPLE THAN STRATEGIC THINKING PEOPLE THAT MAKES IT MORE CHALLENGING FOR A DEMOCRACY TO FUNCTION SUCCESSFULLY OVER THE LONGER TERM. EVEN MORE DIFFICULT IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN STRATEGIC THINKERS ARE INCREASINGLY BEING DROWN OUT BY THE REACTIVE TACTICAL DRIVEN MOB!

When the career politicians signed off on all of those free trade agreements they understood that all of those high paying manufacturing jobs they talk about were now going overseas!
In an effort to mitigate this they “encouraged” the quasi private/government Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to begin to loan money to folks at rates and down payments that were unheard of. No surprise then that this created the housing bubble that in turn would help to create the great recession of 2008. The bankers would take the PR hit for all of this but were rewarded by our POLS with tax payer funded bonuses! Not only should the bankers not have been rewarded but they should not have been bailed out either!
However, Washington would then move to “encourage” another quasi private/government agency the Federal Reserve to create quantitative easing which would once again drive the housing market. This would require the FED to borrow 4 trillion bucks. These irresponsible actions are killing the capitalist horse!
When the housing market crashes again it will be a very long time in coming back to where it was. For example in the Stock Market crash of 1929 it would take until 1956 for stock prices to come back to 1929 levels!

The great comedian Henny Youngman was once asked how his wife was and he replied as compared to what?
Over the last several years how we measure the rates of unemployment and inflation have been changed many times. The net effect has been to reduce these rates so as to mitigate any voter unhappiness with our career politicians!
Every year during this same period the media would also do stories about how our students SAT scores where declining when compared to their parents SAT scores. Eventually the way these tests were scored was changed so that no comparison could be made.
So the next time your career politician tells you that they are doing a great job be sure to ask them as compared to what? The UK Prime Minister Disraeli was correct when he said that there were 3 kinds of lies: “Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics”

Just like the Pharaohs of Egypt we are building our version of the Pyramids. These Pyramids are getting larger and larger for Presidents who are accomplishing less and less. And we are literally burying our presidential pharaohs inside them as well. I can’t wait to see the Trump Tower Library!

Einstein said that imagination was more important than knowledge. Over the next few years we are going to learn just how right he was with the increasing emergence of A.I.
Just like manual laborers being replaced by robots, knowledge based workers will be replaced by thinking machines! If you don’t think so than just ask Chess Grandmaster Kasparov who was replaced by IBM’s Watson.
How well and how quickly our government driven and teacher union monopolized educational system adapts to teaching our students to think more like Einstein remains to be seen. The truth is they’ve done a lousy job of just teaching knowledge!

In the 1970’s the USA began to see an explosion in the number of lawyers in this country. Today they barrage TV viewers with negative ads 24/7. It’s gotten so bad you can’t even wipe your own legal butt here without a lawyer Okaying the brand of toilet paper you can use!
For example in the 1970’s we had 600 lawyers at the Pentagon. 25 years later there were 10,000 of them there. Does make you wonder how many lawyers the Russian and Chinese military have to listen to. But hey if the Russian/Chinese military get to the high ground first very likely because our thousands of military lawyers were haggling over which legal I’s and T’s needed to be crossed before we can begin to defend ourselves!

WOULD HAVE BEEN A KAVA NOPE HAD FORMER DEMOCRATIC SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID NOT USED THE NUCLEAR OPTION TO IMPOSE OBAMA’S JUDICAL APPOINTMENTS! SO HAVING PAID THE SUPREME PRICE TWICE FOR BEING LESS COMPROMISING AND MORE PARTISAN THE LEFT IS NOW PROMOTING EITHER THE OLD FDR PLOY OF PACKING THE COURT OR IMPOSING TERM OR AGE LIMITS ON THE SUPREMES! ALL THE SENATE REALLY NEEDS TO DO IS REIMPOSE THE NUCLEAR OPTION. THE PRESIDENT THEN NEEDS TO NOMINATE PEOPLE THAT CAN GET 60 VOTES!

VOTED FOR GAMPY BUSH TWICE BUT CAN’T HELP BUT THINK THAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS ARE SHAKING THEIR HEADS AT THE GRANDEUR, NEVER MIND THE EXPENSE TO SEND OFF A PERSON WHO ACCOMPLISHED WAY LESS THAN THEY DID!
WE ARE NO LONGER FOCUSED ON BUILDING OUR COUNTRY BUT RATHER ARE BUILDING MONUMENTS TO OURSELVES AND HOSTING SPECTACULAR EVENTS IN AN EFFORT TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT OUR DECLINING FORTUNES.
BUT WHAT A GREAT FREE AD IT MADE FOR THE BUSH PRESIDENTIAL BRAND! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT WE DO FOR THE DONALD’S FUNERAL…
AND I ALSO NOW UNDERSTAND WHY THE PENTAGON HAS TO SPEND A HALF A BILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR ON MILITARY BANDS.

The Camelot family would pin their future hopes on Teddy and then John John only to see both dreams end in tragic crashes! They are still hoping that someone will emerge from their 3rd generation.
Had 41 won a 2nd term would there have been a 43rd? Did this 3rd generation Bush politician kill the family business or will we see another George (Prescott) emerge here?
As for the Clinton’s maybe they will have more luck with Chelsea! Having unsuccessfully married into the Camelot family Andrew Cuomo would really love to outdo his father as perhaps Donald Jr would as well!
But Barbara Bush was correct it’s time for someone elses family to lead the nation….

ONCE AGAIN THE US HOUSE OF REPS IS HEADING FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF ANOTHER PRESIDENT. THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE LOOKING TO ENHANCE THEIR POLITICAL PROSPECTS FOR WINNING BOTH THE PRESIDENCY AND THE SENATE IN 2020! IN THE NEXT ELECTION THE SENATE REPUBLICANS CONTROL 22 OF THE 34 SEATS UP FOR RELECTION. YOU SHOULD EXPECT THE HOUSE DEMMY’S TO FORCE SENATE REPUB’S TO DEFEND TRUMP.
“IS” TRUMP GUILTY OF SPENDING CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS TO SILENCE PORN STAR STORMY DANIELS AND PLAYMATE KAREN MCDOUGAL OR “IS” HE INNOCENT BECAUSE HE SPENT HIS OWN MONEY ON THEM?
EITHER WAY A POLITCAL WIN/WIN FOR THE DEMOCRATS BUT PERHAPS A LOSE/LOSE FOR THE COUNTRY IF SEX IS ALL THE DEMOCRATS HAVE HERE! WE DON’T NEED THIS ENDING UP IN ANOTHER BULL SHIT WHITEWATER INVESTIGATION OUTCOME. CLINTON SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED (ON THE OTHER HAND BILL DID DESERVE TO LOSE HIS LAW LICENSE FOR COMMITTING PERJURY). IF WE ARE GOING DOWN THIS ROAD AGAIN LETS HOPE THAT RUSSIA IS IN THERE SOMEWHERE!

We’ve had two lawyer Presidents who faced impeachment in the last century. Perhaps this should not have been a complete surprise given that one was considered tricky and the other slick by their peers! The Tricky one would be pardoned by another lawyer President, while the Slick one did a super job of convincing the country that it was only about sex and not that it is was about perjury. Willie of course would never have gotten away with his it’s about sex ruse in today’s me too environment. But even worse was one Republican Presidential lawyer pardoning another Republican Presidential lawyer. Sorry folks but Dick really should have done some jail time! Is there any wonder why respect for law and order has declined in the country?

The EU is the USA’s canary! This is because EU debt is higher and the fortunes of their native populations has fallen even further and faster than the native US population has.
For example first there was Brexit which was then followed by Trump. The left and their media allies have been working diligently to reverse both of these votes over the last couple of years. They may well succeed but unless they have a very convincing argument for doing so, the right in the UK and USA may well strap on their yellow jackets in protest! Will see…

Whether it was JFK* or Bill Clinton there are still no medications to effectively treat this problem. Perhaps somewhat ironically the pharma companies instead focused on developing medications that actually facilitates this dysfunction!
Over the last year or two we have seen Entertainment industry titans lose their jobs while allegedly seeking a temporary treatment for what ails them. Even Roman Catholic Priests are experiencing some of these same issues as well! Until big pharma can find a fix for this, the only sure cure is to perform a radical circumcision otherwise known as a Lorena Bobbitt!

* According to the legend he came a lot!

Bela Pelosi the once again speaker of the house wants to teach America how to count. READY?
1 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 2 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 3 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 4 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 5 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 6 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 7 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 8 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 9 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 10 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 11 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 12 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 13 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 14 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 15 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 16 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 17 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 18 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 19 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 20 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 21 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 22 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 23 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 24 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha, 25 trillion in debt ha ha ha ha ha.

The better class uses the sport of Tennis as a wonderful example of equality between the sexes. However at the US Open women only have to win 2 out of 3 sets while the men have to win 3 out of 5 sets. Not only that, but women never play against the men so their quality of work is not held to the same level of performance. A great day for Karl Marx if this same standard is eventually applied to golf, basketball, and hockey!

BACK IN THE DAY MINE WERE USUALLY SILENT BUT NEVER DEADLY. TODAY THEY COME IN VARIETY OF RING TONES AND ARE CAUSING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION ON OUR ROADWAYS. PLUS NO ONE USES THEIR TURN SIGNALS ANYMORE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHILE ONE HAND REMAINS FIRMLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL THE OTHER IS NOW GRIPPING A CELLPHONE. WHAT TODAY’S DISTRACTED DRIVERS REALLY NEED IS A MAJOR BUTT WHOOPING!

Used to be that polite society shunned both actors and circus people. Today the clowns are no longer performing under the big top but rather holding office in Washington DC instead! As for actors the pendulum has swung completely the other way and everything these folks now poop out, is being viewed as smelling like Chanel #2. The biggest benefactor of all of this are the PT Barnum family of the 21st century; the Kardashian and Jenner clan. In today’s social media environment a sucker is now born every second!

Well past the time that the world take climate change seriously. Unfortunately recent rioting there over diesel fuel taxes will likely have the reverse political effect in France. All well and good to have 140 nations signing on to a voluntary climate change treaty but when the world’s number one carbon polluter exports coal burning technology to other countries it’s time to try something else! Frankly would rather have 40 countries signing on to a mandatory accord who then impose a carbon tax on the 100 countries who don’t sign on? But will the K cup generation be willing to pay more for their cellphones and video games?

The USA the world’s most successful capitalist country is moving to become the world largest socialistic country. China the world’s largest socialistic country is moving to become the world’s most successful capitalistic country. As Winston Churchill once said “Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.” The Chinese are using their predatory capitalist tiger to fill their sturdy wagon in any way they can. In the USA we have chosen to milk our capitalist cow dry. The communist Chinese recognize what Churchill understood long ago “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” In the West the Natives are becoming increasingly miserable!

After the Civil War, southern white male democrats began to practice wide spread voter suppression against black male voters. With the 1960’s civil rights legislation these white democrats would then move on to the Republican Party. Over the same period northern white male democrats controlled the big cities like New York and Chicago where they practiced wide spread voter fraud with their calls to vote early and often! These big city white guys are still democrats and still leading the Democratic Party but what can be seen from the democrat primaries of 2018 is that these white guy days of leading the democrat party are numbered! And rightly so! As for suppression and fraud expect them to be practiced by one or the other party. We need the Freedom card NOW!

SINCE ITS FOUNDING THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN RUN BY OLD WHITE GUYS. SOME DID A GOOD JOB WHILE OTHERS NOT SO MUCH. BUT EVENTUALLY ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA HAS NOW BECOME A CESSPOOL OF LOBBYIST AND FILTHY LUCRE! VERY SOON THIS COUNTRY WILL HAVE MORE PEOPLE OF COLOR THAN WHITE FOLK. SO LETS BEGIN TO PASS THE TORCH TO ALL WOMEN AND MEN OF COLOR AND LET’S SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH IT! BYE, BYE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Hillary Rodham Clinton was only half correct when she stated that Europe has an immigration problem. The fact is the West has lost complete control over their borders! In the USA this all began with Ronnie Reagan granting amnesty to 3 million people who came to the USA illegally. After that anyone with half a brain understood that it was easier to become a US citizen by illegal means then legal ones! Politically, this is a very difficult problem to solve as the Democrats get 70% of their votes, while the Republicans get 70% of the campaign contributions from the folks who hire them to flip their burgers and mattresses. Sorry but no Trump Tower wall is going to fix this either!

Power corrupts and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely. FDR would allow Unions to monopolize industries. Overtime the UAW would use this absolute power to effectively drive the Big Three into what has now become the Little Three. Yes, the political General Managers of these companies helped to accelerate the decline of the American Auto industry as well but the industry was doomed by the absolute power of a Union monopoly. In the 1960’s JFK would allow government employees to join Unions and we now have a largest Union in the USA doing the very same to our public schools. If you don’t think so then take a look at how the US ranks against the rest of the world in math, science and reading!

The Nobel Prize Winning Economist Milton Friedman considered himself to be a liberal in the classical meaning of the word. He would understand that today’s so called liberal is in reality a Socialist. What then is a conservative? A conservative socialist. For career Politician’s there is little advantage to being label correctly! In fact the so called liberal progressives are actually Marxist. As Shakespeare says a rose by any other name still smells….

They say that the 3rd generation is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. In that case the first generation is the greatest generation, this is the generation that did a great job of killing both Germans and Japanese. They would come home from the war to spawn the 2nd generation currently known as the baby boomer generation. The Boomers gave birth to latch key kids who spent weekends visiting Dad’s house. No wonder then that this 3rd generation has become the Entitled Generation. Entitled to be on the honor roll and with trunk loads of trophies for coming in last place! What will we be calling the 4th generation? The burger and mattress flipper generation!

The world is undergoing another leadership change with power shifting from the West to the East. The better class of people in the West are moving to take control over their governments. The last time this happened you had the better class of the “peace in our time” crowd in UK and the American Firster folks in the USA. Had these two groups moved against Fascism and Herr Hitler sooner perhaps just 6 dead Nazi’s as opposed to 60 million dead. One hopes that the better class does a better job* this time around. As for the worser class they have no one to blame but themselves had they done a better job since the end of WWII maybe we would not have found ourselves in this kind of boat!

*If you’re looking for a more recent example, then look at how Obama handled Syria.

Besides building pyramids and piles of debt we are burying ourselves under tons of lawsuits! The fact is we are using the legal system in much the same way the French used the guillotine during their revolution. This isn’t to say that the first 200 Frenchman didn’t have it coming to them, it’s the next 20,000 “off with their heads” that the mob demanded that is more difficult to justify! With the emergence of the social media mob the legal environment in the USA will become increasingly more challenging. It is one thing to drink justice from a glass, something else to drink it from the bottom of the Potomac. Unfortunately as 40% of Congress are lawyers you should expect no help from this quarter anytime soon…

After World War II America’s track record in Asia was extremely problematic. For starters in China, the USA backed the wrong warlord. This would result in our “losing” China, which in turn would provoke our involvement in Korea, ending in a very bloody tie. JFK would then commit the USA to fighting in Vietnam by effectively “green lighting” the assassination of President Diem. Not to be outdone LBJ would then hamstring the military’s ability to fight ending in a humiliating defeat for the US. As China continues to emerge the reunification of its country will become an increasing pinch point for the West. To a lesser extent the reunification of Korea could minimize any potential pinch points in Asia as well.
