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….

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.

A FEW YEARS AGO A YOUNG IMMIGRANT WHO HAD TRAGICALLY DROWNED, WASHED UP ON A EUROPEAN BEACH. IN REACTION TO THIS THE CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY ANGELA MERKEL ANNOUNCED THAT 180,000 IMMIGRANTS WOULD BE WELCOMED TO EUROPE.

ALMOST 2 MILLION WOULD COME BUT MANY MORE YOUNG KIDS WOULD DROWN IN THE PROCESS. THAT BLOOD IS ON HER HANDS BUT AT LEAST IMMIGRATION IS NOW AT A 5 YEAR LOW THERE! 

RECENT PICTURES OF A SIMILAR TRAGEDY INVOLVING A 2 YEAR OLD GIRL AND HER FATHER DROWNING IN THE RIO GRANDE SHOULD RIGHTLY BE BLAMED ON SPEAKER PELOSI. THE USA NEEDS TO FIX ITS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION PROBLEM BUT UNFORTUNATELY WITH 2/3RD’s OF THE WORLD LAWYERS HERE THAT WILL BE NO EASY THING! AS A RESULT YOU SHOULD EXPECT THINGS TO GET EVEN WORSE!  AS FOR THE 1 MILLION IMMIGRANTS WHO COME HERE LEGALLY EVERY YEAR WE WISH THEM THE VERY BEST! 

I neither support zero immigration nor do I support letting everyone in! My guess is that an overwhelming majority of Americans would agree with this statement as well.

In 1960 approximately 5% of the USA population were immigrants. By 2015 this percentage grew to 14% of the population and is projected to grow to 18% by the year 2065 if this trend continues.

So what’s the # folks? Because if there is a number than some of the things that Trump is trying to do today are going to have to happen tomorrow in order to fix immigration! 

Unfortunately we are no where close to even beginning to have this kind of conversation today in Washington DC. 

I AGREE WITH SUPREME COURT JUSTICES GINSBURG AND GORSUCH THAT A STATE GOVERNMENT AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TRY YOU FOR THE VERY SAME CRIME. ONE OR THE OTHER NEEDS TO DECIDE WHO WILL TRY THE CASE.

HOWEVER CURRENT LAW ALLOWS FOR BOTH TO DO SO AND IT BEGS THE QUESTION AS TO WHY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID NOT TRY OJ SIMPSON AGAIN ON MURDER AFTER HE WAS ACQUITTED IN A CALIFORNIA STATE COURT.

BUT LET ME GO ONE STEP FURTHER THAN GINSBURG AND GORSUCH AND ARGUE THAT ONCE HE WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY THE GOLDMAN FAMILY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO SUE AN INNOCENT MAN IN CIVIL COURT(TRIPLE JEOPARDY). YUP THAT STINKS FOR THEM BUT THE FEDS SHOULD HAVE THEN STEPPED UP ON THEIR BEHALF AND TRIED OJ AGAIN FOR MURDER IN FEDERAL COURT!

SO THE LAWYERS GET INVOLVED WITH FREE SPEECH AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW MONEY IS FREE SPEECH AND IT HAS COMPLETELY PERVERTED AND BROKEN THE POLITICAL PROCESS IN WASHINGTON DC…

AND ONCE AGAIN THE LAWYERS GET INVOLVED IN FREE SPEECH AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW OUR KIDS ARE BEING EXPOSED TO STUFF THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO ON THE TV, THE INTERNET AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA…

BUT NO SURPRISE THEN THAT THE LAWYERS HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED WITH IMMIGRATION AND THE FOLKS WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY HAVE THE SAME LEGAL RIGHTS AS EVERYBODY ELSE AND GUESS WHAT THE IMMIGRATION SYSTEM IS NOW COMPLETELY BROKEN!

NO LONGER DRINKING JUSTICE FROM A GLASS BUT INSTEAD FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POTOMAC.

HELP WE’RE DROWNING!!!

My mother had ten of these! I remember for the last one that I woke up one morning to my father asleep in bed and my mother nowhere to be seen. After a few minutes the phone rang and my father yelled “it’s a girl” and went back to sleep.

My wife had three of these! I was there for all three natural child births. Unlike my mother who was knocked out for hers, my wife was awake and screaming for hers. An amazing experience and I will always remember cutting my youngest umbilical cord.

The mother’s of my four beautiful grandkids are no longer being prepped but are having saddle blocks to avoid the screaming of natural child birth. What I would call the perfect compromise between my mother and wife’s experiences!

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…

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.

IN THE 1970’S THE USA MANAGED TO GET A HOLD OF THE LATEST USSR MIG AIRCRAFT AND WERE AMAZED THAT THE SOVIETS WERE STILL USING VACUUM TUBE TECHNOLOGY. THAT IS UNTIL SOMEONE POINTED OUT THAT VACUUM TUBES WERE 100,000 TIMES MORE RESISTANT TO ELECTRO MAGNETIC PULSE (EMP) THAN THE SEMICONDUCTORS WE WERE USING.

THIS WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IN A FIRST STRIKE THE AGGRESSOR IS EXPLODING NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO GENERATE A MASSIVE EMP WHICH WOULD THEN OVERWHELM THEIR ENEMIES CAPABILITY TO COMMUNICATE AND RETALIATE.

RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN HAS SAID THAT WHOEVER CONTROLS A.I. IS THE NEXT LEADER OF THE WORLD. THAT IS BECAUSE A.I. LIKE EMP WILL OVERWHELM YOUR ENEMIES ABILITY TO FIGHT BY NOT ALLOWING YOUR AIRCRAFT TO EVEN GET OFF THE GROUND. A.I. IS A DIGITAL VERSION OF EMP!            

SO THE AIRLINES START TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO FLY WITH THERAPY ANIMALS AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU ARE SITTING NEXT TO PIGS AND PEACOCKS! IF YOU NEED A THERAPY ANIMAL IN ORDER TO FLY THEN PLEASE TAKE THE TRAIN OR AUTOMOBILE INSTEAD!

NOW IF THAT ISN’T BAD ENOUGH YOU HAVE FOLKS TAKING A RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION FOR VACCINATIONS!  IF YOU ARE GOING TO EXPOSE YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS TO DEADLY DISEASES THEN PLEASE STAY OFF OF PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES!

ALSO AT HARVARD YOU HAVE A LAW PROFESSOR WHO REPRESENTS HARVEY WEINSTEIN. THE KIDS DON’T LIKE THIS SO YOU FIRE HIM AND HIS WIFE AS FACULTY DEANS. A FORMER HARVARD GRAD REPRESENTED THE BRITISH SOLDIERS OVER THE BOSTON MASSACRE, WOULD YOU HAVE LET THE KIDS FIRE HIM TOO? THE LUNATICS ARE NOW CONTROLLING THE ASYLUM!

Joe Biden- MILLIONAIRE

Beto O’Rourke- MILLIONAIRE

Elizabeth Warren- MILLIONAIRE

Kamala Harris- MILLIONAIRE

Andrew Yang- MILLIONAIRE

Amy Klobuchar- MILLIONAIRE

Bernie Sanders- MILLIONAIRE

Donald Trump-BILLIONAIRE

Howard Schultz-BILLIONAIRE

Nancy Pelosi- MILLIONAIRE

Mitch McConnell- MILLIONAIRE

We agree with Warren Buffett that the rich need to pay more in taxes but that it should be retroactive for the last seven years that they underpaid them!

No higher glass ceiling for the ladies than the White House! So glad that Hillary didn’t break threw it but not thrilled with the end result either.

Moving forward the potential 2020 choices are as follow;

Elizabeth Warren-Her former last name was Herring. As she is no longer claiming to be an Indian that makes her a former red herring!

Kamala Harris-She has deferred making any decision on slave reparations. Perhaps because her father is a Jamaican black and that opens a can of worms as to whether he would get reparations.

Tulsi Gabbard-Voted to give the vote to 16 year olds. But hey the lady is young and good looking so she very likely thought she would do well with the 16 year old horny male voter.

Amy Klobuchar-Controls her office with fear, anger and shame and is reported to be one of the worst bosses on the Hill. Good for her we need to kick some butt in DC!

Kirsten Gillibrand-The first in her caucus to ask for Me, Al Franken to resign while stating that Bill Clinton should have resigned over Monica Lewinsky’s handling of the President’s special purpose!

Marianne Williamson-Writer and inspirational speaker.

When the odds are split between two old white guy favorites bet on one of the above lady long shots…

EINSTEIN ONCE SAID THAT HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WEAPONS WOULD BE USED TO FIGHT WW3 BUT THAT WW4 WOULD BE FOUGHT WITH STICKS AND STONES! IN THE END THERE AREN’T ANY REALLY GREAT WARS BUT THOSE IN THE KNOW AT THE TIME UNDERSTOOD THAT THE PEACE TREATY ENDING WW1 SOWED THE SEEDS FOR WW2.

THIS OF COURSE BEGS THE QUESTION OF WHAT SEEDS WERE SOWED IF ANY FOR WW3? WAS IT IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITH THE CREATION OF ISRAEL OR IN CHINA WITH THE DECISION TO SUPPORT CHIANG KAI-SHEK?

AMERICA HAS GONE TO WAR TWICE NOW IN BOTH REGIONS, IRAQ1/IRAQ2 AND KOREA/VIETNAM. MOSTLY NOT SO GREAT WARS FOR THE USA! THE MIDDLE EAST AND CHINA ARE BECOMING MORE DANGEROUS PLACES FOR AMERICA.  MY BET IF THERE IS ANOTHER GREAT WAR IS THAT IT STARTS SOMEWHERE IN ASIA!!!

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.

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!!!!

Some very smart people are predicting that this is the century of China. But when will they replace America as the world leader? The best case scenario for the West is not until 2099. The worst case scenario for the West is 2020.

But let’s say the better class of folk are correct and China does in fact become a democracy but not until say 2055. In that case in 2020 you have a world leader that is a dictatorship for another 35 years. On the other hand by 2099 you would have had a Chinese democracy for 44 years.

What is America’s long term strategy for obtaining the best worldwide outcome? Given the present conversation in Washington, we clearly do not have one! So you should expect America to lose its leadership role sooner as opposed to later in this century!

Joltin’ Joe was the first ball player to make 100 Grand, today that is chump change! Unfortunately money has ruined both America’s pastime and Washington DC!

The great Sports Illustrated writer Frank Deford once said that the difference between yesterday’s ball player and today’s is that yesterday’s hall of famer’s were regular Joe’s. Today many of the baseball superstars are just a bunch of prima donna’s. Just like many of today’s Politicians!

What a shame as I remember a time when elections were over the very next day and ball games took just a couple of hours to play. Your strength can become your weakness and for America that has become our almighty dollar. Cie la Vie!

For the 12^th year in a row the US Post Office has lost money, reporting a loss of $3.9 billion dollars in 2018. This in spite of having a monopoly on the majority of its business! The absolute perfect example of our politician’s inability to run a business!

In the age of the internet and email who needs snail mail? The fact is most of the mail you get today are catalogs and junk mail. Do we really have to deliver this junk on Saturday also? With the country up to its eyeballs in debt is there anyone in Washington who capable of fixing this? If you don’t think so then please don’t vote for any big government socialists in 2020! Thanks…    

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” Shakespeare

Names are important. Lenin decided to call his much smaller Marxist group Majority Men (Bolshevik) while calling the much larger Marxist group Minority Men (Menshevik). It worked out pretty good for him. 

Bernie Sanders calls himself a Progressive Socialist, but he is really a Marxist. Perhaps like Lenin it will work out for him in 2020! Senator Warren who claims to be a capitalist is in fact a Big Government Socialist.

Frankly amazing just how gullible investors and voters can be to line of B.S. especially when one is promising them huge benefits which almost never ever happen!

 

IN THE WEST THE NATIVES (OLDER FOLK) ARE BEING ENERGIZED BY POLITICAL LEADERS ON THE RIGHT WHO ARE PUSHING BACK ON THE COME ONE, COME ALL IMMIGRATION POLICIES OF THE POLITICAL LEFT. THE RIGHT UNDERSTANDS THAT ONCE THESE IMMIGRANTS BECOME CITIZENS AND VOTE THAT THEY WILL OVERWHELMINGLY ENDORSE POLITICAL LEADERS ON THE LEFT.

THE LEFT (YOUNGER FOLK) ARE BEING ENERGIZED BY POLITICAL LEADERS THAT ARE PUSHING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE.  THE LEFT IS PROMOTING HUGE INVESTMENTS IN GREEN MANUFACTURING WITH THE PROMISE OF CREATING GREEN JOBS. UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE IMPOSING VERY EXPENSIVE GREEN ENERGY SOLUTIONS THAT WILL MAKE THE WEST EVEN LESS COMPETITIVE WITH THE EAST’S INCREASING USE OF COAL ENERGY.

THE NET EFFECT WILL BE TO DRIVE EVEN MORE  JOBS TO CHINA (ASIA). NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE WORLD WILL BECOME EVEN MORE POLLUTED…

A LOSE/LOSE FOR AMERICA (AND THE WEST).        

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.   

 

           

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?”

Recently Trump’s son in law was asked by a reporter if his father in law was a racist for attacking Obama over his place of birth. Both John McCain and Ted Cruz we’re challenged over this as McCain was born in Panama and Cruz in Canada.

None of the folks attacking John and Ted’s birtherism were accused of racism and so I assume in these cases all parties were white but would that have made any difference If the folks doing the attacking were black? Not really.

The only intelligent conversation here is what in fact the constitution requires of a person’s birth place in order to run for US President and what proof if any is required of them to prove it! Given the three examples above it doesn’t sound like much….

Otherwise known as Trump and Brexit! Given that both outcomes were completely unexpected the left in the US and the UK immediately went to work to reverse both! Pelosi and Bercow understand that reversing these outcomes without a clear mandate to do so could create an even bigger problem for them.

In the UK that would be the election of their version of Trump, Boris Johnson which would then be followed by a Brexit without an exit agreement with the EU. In the USA that would be a failed impeachment effort to remove Trump followed by his re-election in 2020.

 

 

Tactical driven folks are small picture short term driven. So if the short term trend is either up or down they are either happy or sad respectively. Strategic driven folks are big picture long term driven. So if the long term trend is either up or down they are either happy or sad respectively.

Needless to say tactical and strategic people are only in synch when the short and long terms trends are the same. Where there is a large mismatch especially during periods of significant disruption strategic thinking is far more important than tactical doing.

However this is a challenge for democracies as tactical doers greatly out number strategic thinkers.  In the West long term negative trends are being inflamed by an emerging social media creating a significant disruption on our existing political establishments!

I think because I was bottle fed that I grew up to be one of these. I remember driving by a State Park that had a sign saying that the La Leche League would be having a meeting there the next day. I told my wife that I was going to go to it dressed up as a milk carton and holding a got milk sign. She was not amused.

She had breast fed our three kids and when that ended her boobs ended up looking like two fried eggs hanging from a nail. Recently I learned that mothers milk sells for up to a 100 bucks an ounce. Had I known that, my wife would still have a great set of knockers. A WIN/WIN.

All that said I think that the men in the US Congress (while they are still in the majority) should pass two laws. One making it illegal for a woman to have breast reduction surgery and the other authorizing Obamacare to pick up 100% of the cost of breast enlargement surgery!

 

 

 

JOHN BERCOW THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN THE UK HAS DECIDED NOT TO ALLOW PRESIDENT TRUMP TO SPEAK TO PARLIAMENT. THIS IS BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THAT TRUMP IS BOTH A RACIST AND A SEXIST.

ON THE OTHER HAND IN 2015 HE ALLOWED CHINESE PRESIDENT XI JINPING TO SPEAK TO PARLIAMENT AND AS WE ALL KNOW THE PRESIDENT OF CHINA IS A WAY BETTER PERSON THAN TRUMP! OR COULD THE DIFFERENCE BE THAT XI HAS CONTROL OVER HIS MEDIA WHILE IN THE WEST THE MEDIA IS OUT OF CONTROL.

AS BOTH BREXIT AND TRUMP CAME IN AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME AND WAY THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF LEFT LEANING SPEAKERS OF THE HOUSES PLAYING POLITICS. EITHER WAY A HUGE PR WIN FOR CHINA…

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!

ON THE RISE IN EUROPE. THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA IS BLAMING THIS ON THE RISE OF NATIONALISM. HOWEVER IN GERMANY THEY HAVE OVER A MILLION NEW FOLKS FROM ISLAMIC COUNTRIES WHO VERY LIKELY ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS TREND AS WELL.  

BUT BECAUSE THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA IS BOTH PRO-IMMIGRATION AND ANTI-NATIONALISM, IT MAKES FOR A WAY BETTER STORY FOR THEM TO EMPHASIZE THE NATIONALISTIC SIDE OF THIS STORY.

THAT SAID NO QUESTION THAT SOME OF THIS IS IN FACT BEING CONDUCTED BY NATIVE BORN ANTI SEMITIC FOLKS. THE ATTACK ON THE PITTSBURGH SYNAGUOGE IS ONE OF THOSE TRAGIC EXAMPLES BUT NOT ALL NATIONALISTS (OR TRUMP SUPPORTERS) ARE IN FACT ANTI-SEMITIC!

IN MUCH THE SAME WAY THAT NOT ALL ITALIAN AMERICANS WERE MAFIA.

AS FOR THE NEWLY MINTED EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS ARE THEY ANTI-JEWISH, ANTI-ISRAELI OR JUST ANTI-BIBI? THE WEST HAS LOST CONTROL OVER THEIR BORDERS AND THEIR NATIVES ARE CLEARLY RESTLESS AND ARE INCREASINGLY VOTING AGAINST THE ESTABLISHED EU STATUS QUO!

I used watch a lot of PBS. But back in the day I would stop watching it leading up to Presidential elections as their stories became way too partisan left for me. Since Trump’s election I have stopped watching it altogether as PBS has become partisan 24/7/365.

Today I am watching C-Span who unlike PBS does not take taxpayer money. Recently the founder of C Span was asking a reporter why the main stream media had become so partisan and what could be done about it. The fact is Print media is dying and when the New York Times is running stories on their front pages about the Kardashians you understand just how desperate they have become!

On top of all of this inexperienced Kids like AOC and Buttigieg would never have gotten this kind of media attention even just a few years ago. But Oh, just look at how far the politically mighty have fallen!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE POLITICAL DISCOURSE IN THIS COUNTRY BASED ONLY ON THE MOST OBVIOUS SYMPTOM THEN CLEARLY THE ONLY ISSUE HERE IS TRUMP.

HOWEVER THE ROOT CAUSE RUNS MUCH DEEPER THAN THIS AND IS ACTUALLY THE FINAL BATTLE BETWEEN CAPITALISM AND SOCIALISM FOR AMERICA’S  FUTURE. 

UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THE PERSON SEEN AS REPRESENTING CAPITALISM IS DONALD TRUMP THAT MAKES IT ALL TOO EASY FOR THE SOCIALISTS TO FINISH OFF WHAT IS LEFT OF THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM IN AMERICA. PERHAPS HAD THE CAPITALIST ELECTED A ROMNEY OR A BLOOMBERG IT MIGHT HAVE SURVIVED FOR A WHILE LONGER.

WHAT IS IRONIC, IS THE FACT THAT IT REQUIRED THE VOTES OF WHITE MALE EX UNION WORKERS TO GET TRUMP ELECTED IN THE FIRST CASE. BUT WHO CAN BLAME THEM AS THEY WERE THROWN UNDER THE BUS BY THEIR UNIONS AND THEIR DEMOCRAT PARTY OVER FREE TRADE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY WHITE GUYS WERE NOT GOING TO BE THE FUTURE OF EITHER THE PARTY OF COLOR OR THEIR UNION ALLIES!

 

THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR SEARS AND ROEBUCK WAS WHEN THEY BUILT THE SEARS TOWER MONUMENT TO THEMSELVES! MUCH IN THE SAME WAY WHEN AMERICA BUILT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARIES TO ITSELF.

IN AN EFFORT TO SALVAGE SEAR’S FORTUNES THEY COMBINED THEMSELVES WITH ANOTHER RETAIL LOSER KMART IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE SILK….

THE BETTER CLASS OF FOLKS WILL TELL YOU THAT WE NEED TO DO THE SAME BY COMBINING USA (SEARS) FORTUNES WITH THE EU (KMART) FORTUNES.

UNFORTUNATELY THIS ISN’T GOING TO PRODUCE ANY SILK EITHER!!!!

BETTER THAT WE LOOK EAST TO JAPAN AND INDIA.

Both Supreme Court Justice Thomas and HUD Secretary Carson are Yale graduates who have had very successful legal or medical careers. Unfortunately they are both Republican appointees who happen to be black. Because of this the party of color and their main stream media allies have been relentless in attacking their credibility.

Recently Justice Thomas has advocated for a change in the libel laws as it is almost impossible to sue the media if you are a famous person (not so in the rest of the world). Given the out of control media environment we currently have in the USA we not only agree with his legal logic but with its potential to calm down the craziness of today’s media circus!

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!

Geez Ward….

The powers to be understood the power of propaganda given its success in Germany in the 1930’s. It’s why they moved to regulate TV after the war. Ward was only ever going to be hard on his son Beaver and never hard on June’s!

The perfect propaganda storm began first with cable TV to be followed by the World Wide Web. Both of these developments would ultimately negate what the powers to be tried to do with regulated TV. Putting this genie back into the bottle will be hard on the rest of us!

Unfortunately on top of all of this 125 Congressional Democrats voted to give the right to vote to 16 year old’s. However the minimum driving age in New Jersey is 17 and in many other States 16 and half. But not to worry if the 16 year old doesn’t have his/her drive license come election day we are sure their Mommy or Daddy will drive them to the polls!

 

Gordon Gekko moved to China some years ago and is doing great there! The Chinese are very focused on making the buck. For example if  someone commits a serious crime in China, they are taken straight to the nearest rice patty where someone puts a bullet in their head.

Their organs are then harvested for sale to the highest western bidder while their body is then desiccated so that it can be put on display in a museum somewhere in the USA in return for a bucket load of cash!

These folks are going to beg, borrow, and steal there way to the top and after centuries of being at the bottom of the heap who can blame them. The better class of folk in the West are going to tell you not to worry because by the time they are on top they will be a democracy just like us!

But many of the grandparents of the better class either thought that Hitler’s fascism was not a serious threat or that Stalin’s communism was the way to go. Will their grandkids get it right this time around? Will see…

 

SO AFTER REPEATED COMPLAINTS FROM BABY BOOMERS THAT THEIR KIDS WERE SCORING LOWER THAN THEY DID EVERY YEAR ON THE SAT’S THE COLLEGE BOARD CHANGED THE SCORING ON ITS TEST SO PARENTS COULD NO LONGER MAKE THIS COMPARISON.  

SO ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED, NO MORE EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS IN SUBURBIA!

NOW THE COLLEGE BOARD WANTS TO ADD AN ADVERSITY SCORE TO THEIR SAT’S AND THIS WOULD SOLVE THE URBAN EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM! THAT IS BECAUSE HISPANICS AND BLACKS SCORE LOWER ON THE SAT’S THEN ASIAN AND WHITE KIDS.

MANY INNER CITY BLACK AND HISPANIC PARENTS HAVE BEEN UPSET OVER THIS DISPARITY IN SAT PERFORMANCE OVER THE YEARS! ONCE YOU ADD THIS   ADVERSITY SCORE IN YOU SHOULD EXPECT AN IMPROVED SAT PERFORMANCE FROM THESE KIDS.

WOW NO MORE SUBURBAN OR URBAN SAT’S PROBLEMS. SOUNDS LIKE A SLAM DUNK FOR THE TEACHERS UNION! BUT HAVE OUR KIDS REALLY GOTTEN SMARTER IN ORDER TO COMPETE IN THE GLOBAL MARKET PLACE.         

UNFORTUNATELY OUR KIDS ARE ALREADY LOSING THAT BATTLE!    

 

OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A SMART JOCK.

WE NEED TO GET SPORTS OUT OF COLLEGES! FOR EXAMPLE THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT SPENDS $80 MILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR ON SPORTS AND LOSES $40 MILLION DOLLARS ON IT EVERY YEAR. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THE HIGHEST PAID STATE EMPLOYEES ARE UCONN COACHES. STRIKE 0NE!

IT ALSO TURNS OUT THAT AT ANOTHER CT COLLEGE, A YALE COACH WAS MAKING A FEW EXTRA BUCKS UNDER THE TABLE ADMITTING ATHLETES WHO HAD NEVER PLAYED THE SPORT THAT THEY COACHED! STRIKE TWO!

NOW THE JOCKS WANT TO GET PAID FOR PLAYING COLLEGE SPORTS, JUST WHAT THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT NEEDS. LETS LOSE EVEN MORE MONEY ON SPORTS WHILE CREATING EVEN MORE HIGHER PAID STATE EMPLOYEES! STRIKE THREE!

TIME TO GET THE JOCK STRAPS OFF COLLEGE CAMPUSES WHERE MOST WOULDN’T HAVE GOTTEN ACCEPTED BASED THEIR SMARTS OR THEIR PARENTS BRIBES!

Abigail Disney was born with a silver spoon in her mouth as a third generation trust funder. So the first question she needs to answer is just how much she paid percentage wise on the money she inherited from Dad and Grandpa.

Once we’ve had that discussion then by all means let’s talk about how much money the CEO of Disney is being paid plus what percentage both pay in taxes on their annual income! All that said, CEO salaries began to skyrocket beginning in the 1970’s and is out of control.

But the fix is not just raising income taxes on the one percent. We also need to address the shit pot full of cash the rich bequeath to their kids who did absolutely nothing to earn it!

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!

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

THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT SIGNED OFF ON ALL OF THOSE FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS AND THEN COVERED THEIR TRACKS BY CREATING THE HOUSING BUBBLE.

THE BUBBLE BURST AND THE USA CONTINUES TO SWIRL DOWN THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC TOILET BOWL. NO LONGER ABLE TO INFLUENCE THIS TREND THE ESTABLISHMENT IS NOW TOUTING EDUCATION AS THE SAVOIR OF THE NATION.

EXPECT A CONTINUING PUSH FOR FREE COLLEGE TUITION AND LOAN FORGIVENESS! IN THE END THIS WILL COST THE USA ECONOMY WAY MORE THAN THE HOUSING BUBBLE PLUS WE WILL HAVE WAY LESS TO SHOW FOR IT!

I REMEMBER ATTENDING MY ONLY INDY 500 BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THEY WERE GETTING ALMOST 600,000 FOLKS AT THE BRICKYARD. FOR THE FIRST HOUR OF THE RACE PEOPLE ARE STANDING IN THE HOT SUN SIPPING COLD BEERS.

HAVING TO TAKE A HUGE LEAK I WALKED INTO THE FIRST MEN’S ROOM (YUP THEY WERE STILL CALLING THEM THAT BACK THEN) I SAW 100 TOILETS WITH 100 MEN IN FRONT OF EACH ONE AND SO I LEFT.

WALKED ANOTHER 50 FEET UNDER THE STANDS WHERE I FOUND ANOTHER ONE. SAME 100 TOILETS BUT INSTEAD ONLY ME! BOY WAS I IN HOG HEAVEN! BUT THEN I  REALIZED THAT MOST HUMANS ARE JUST ONE OR THE OTHER OF THE ABOVE!

SORT OF REMINDS ME OF 1984…   

AS FOR THE RACE MY FUTURE WIFE THOUGHT IT WAS NOISY AND SMELLY SO WE NEVER WENT BACK. CIE LA VIE, BUT I SEEM TO RECALL THAT AN UNSER WON THE RACE THAT YEAR!

WITH A COUPLE OF JEWISH GRAND KIDS PRESIDENT TRUMP LITERALLY HAS SKIN IN THIS GAME!

GETTING THE JEWISH VOTE (AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS) FOR THE 2020 ELECTIONS WILL BE VERY HELPFUL TO HIS REELECTION EFFORT. WE ARE ALSO SURE THAT BIBI WILL BE RETURNING THE FAVOR HERE AS WELL!

ON TOP OF JERUSALEM AND THE GOLAN HEIGHTS, TRUMP IS NOW SABER RATTLING OVER IRAN, ISRAELS NUMBER 1 THREAT IN THE REGION. PERHAPS IN HINDSIGHT WE SHOULD HAVE GONE AFTER IRAN INSTEAD OF IRAQ BUT DOING SO NOW WOULD JUST BE DOUBLING DOWN ON STUPID!

SORRY BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU CAN’T LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHEN ISRAEL DEVELOPS NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THEN OBJECT WHEN IRAN ATTEMPTS TO DO THE VERY SAME!  IF NOTHING CHANGES THE AREA WILL BECOME AN INCREASING NUCLEAR CESSPOOL. STAY TUNED!       

Socialist understand that in a democracy socialism has to be imposed equally. Ultimately that will require an international solution. For example while the UK managed to export 1 million of it citizens to the EU it imported 3 million EU citizens. This left an extra 2 million sucking off of the UK social system resulting in increasing costs and decreasing services!

This would be one of the main causes that lead to BREXIT. Certainly there were others. But the International Socialist movement and their media allies have been working very hard over the last few years to reverse this result!

But I would argue that while the USA continues its decline that the EU will need to take a more nationalistic approach in order to defend itself from the country that started this “socialist” trend! That of course flies into the face of internationalist  principles and we will see if the EU can adapt to changing political circumstances much in the same way that Lenin did with his Marxist principles.

 

IN THE LAST CENTURY J D ROCKEFELLER WAS THE ULTIMATE ROBBER BARON. HIS SON JUNIOR WOULD PURCHASE BACK THE FAMILY’S RESPECTIBILTY THRU VARIOUS GOOD WORKS!
THIS WORKED SO WELL THAT JUNIOR’S SON, NELSON WOULD BE ELECTED GOVENOR OF NY AND APPOINTED VICE PRESIDENT OF THE USA.

AS THE SOCIALIST IN THIS COUNTRY CONTINUE THEIR ASSAULT AGAINST CAPITALISM YOU CAN EXPECT THEM TO GO AFTER THE DIGITAL BARONS. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE JUST HOW MUCH THE SOCIAL MEDIA MOB (THAT THEY CREATED) WILL HELP TO EXTRACT THEIR POUND OF FINANICAL FLESH FROM THEM!

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!”

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.

Both work just not with everyone.

In the heat of battle Generals have shot at their own fleeing troops in an effort to stem a stampede that might lose the battle or even the war! If someday a terrorist plants a dirty nuclear device in Washington DC who among us would be willing to torture that person in an effort to learn where they planted it? As a matter of general principle I don’t support either but could find reasons to condone both!

But I agree with Senator Goldwater when he said “Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.”

SO THE OTHER DAY THE POPE CUTS A CHECK FOR $500,000 BUCKS TO THE MEXICAN CHURCH TO HELP FEED THE MIGRANTS AS THEY WALK UP THRU MEXICO TO THE USA BORDER. THANKS PAPA FRANCISCO!

BUT I AGREE WITH TRUMP THAT IF THEY DO MAKE IT IN TO THE USA ILLEGALLY  THE SANCTUARY CITIES SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE THEM ALL IN…

HEY YOU WANT’EM YOU GOT’EM!

EITHER THAT OR WE SHOULD SHIP THEM OFF TO LIVE WITH THE POPE IN THE VATICAN CITY! I’VE BEEN THERE IT’S A VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH APPARENTLY STILL HAS A LOT OF MONEY EVEN AFTER PAYING OFF FOR THEIR PRIEST SEX ABUSE SCANDAL …BUT IF NOT I’M SURE SOMEONE WOULD PAY FRANCIS A TON OF LIRA FOR THE SISTINE CHAPEL!

AND VERY SOON THE NEW VATICANO’S WOULD BE QUOTING CAESAR

VENI, VIDI, VICI

 

Some years ago I had a couple of these and got wicked ptomaine! From then on they were the Home of the Plopper! But enough about me…

Apparently all-beef patties are creating an even bigger problem with climate change than our own ploppers are!

Over the last several years I’ve been eating way less beef as it has gotten relatively more expensive than chicken and pork! I’ve assumed that this was because of the increasing use of corn in creating bio fuels.  

So the USA should be imposing a federal fart tax on the trillions and trillions of hamburgers sold. I know The Donald loves his Mickey D’s but certainly he could afford to pay another dime or so for his Mac attack!

This is just my 2 cents, Invest or “no pun” flush! 

I mean that in both meanings of the word. I am a fast but safe driver who has never caused an accident. But over the last decade I have become an increasingly angry driver with the corresponding increase in distracted drivers.

Adding fuel to the fire is all of the new speed bumps, stop signs, 25 MPH speed limits and the sequencing of traffic lights that force you to stop every two feet. Really pisses me off!!!

Recently my wife told me that she used to like driving with me but not so much lately. I thought about this for a few days and decided that it wasn’t because I had become a bad driver but instead that she had become a bad passenger!

 

WE CONTINUE TO LOWER THE FREE SPEECH BAR AND INSTEAD OF DRAWING A FIRM LINE AT STICKS AND STONES, WE ARE NOW MOVING TO LEGISLATE AGAINST NAME CALLING! AND THAT IS ONE HELL OF A SLIPPERY ANTI-SPEECH SLOPE.

IF YOU SAY ANYTHING THAT HURTS ANYONE’S FEELINGS YOU ARE INCREASINGLY LIKELY TO GET SLAPPED WITH A LAW SUIT. DOWN THE ROAD WHO KNOWS PERHAPS EVEN SOME JAIL TIME!

AS FOR FACEBOOK WHETHER THEY DECIDE TO PUBLISH SOMEONE’S I HATE YOU OR EVEN I LOVE YOU SPEECH THAT SHOULD BE ENTIRELY ZUKERBERG’S CALL. AFTER ALL THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE WASHINGTON POST HAVE BEEN MAKING THOSE KINDS OF DECISIONS FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS NOW!

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!

IN ORDER FOR A DEMOCRACY TO THRIVE THE VOTERS MUST HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF OUR LEADERS REAL INTENTIONS. THIS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE AS OUR POLITICIANS HAVE RESISTED AND CONTINUE TO RESIST BEING LABELED ACCURATELY.

IN THE PAST THEY LABELED THEMSELVES AS EITHER LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE. THE REALITY WAS THAT THE SO CALLED LIBERALS WERE ACTUALLY SOCIALISTS AND THE CONSERVATIVES WERE IN FACT CONSERVATIVE SOCIALISTS.

TODAY THE LIBERALS ARE INCREASINGLY COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET AND ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THEY ARE IN FACT SOCIALIST WHILE SOME OF THEM ARE DESCRIBING THEMSELVES AS PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST. THE PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST IS ACTUALLY MARXIST TO VARYING DEGREES…

THE REALITY IS THAT FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS THE USA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE LEFT! JUST LIKE THEY HAVE IN THE EU….

JFK THE DARLING OF THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA INVENTED ONE OF THESE BACK IN THE DAY. HELPED HIM TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY! 

TODAY WE ARE FACING A REAL ONE HAPPENING IN CHINA AS THEY RAPIDLY EXPAND THEIR MISSILE TECHNOLOGY INTO AREA’S THAT THE USA IS PRECLUDED FROM DOING AS A RESULT OF AN EXISTING TREATY WITH RUSSIA!

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT DISCUSSION WE SHOULD BE HAVING AND MAYBE WE WILL AFTER WE GET THRU TALKING ABOUT THE KARDASHIAN SISTERS, LORI LOUGHLIN, JUSSIE SMOLLETT AND JOE BIDEN’S HAIR SMELLING FETISH!   

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO STILL DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS THE CENTURY OF CHINA?

WHAT AN UNFORTUNATE NAME FOR A GAY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. MAYOR PETE HAS ZERO NATIONAL POLITICAL EXPERIENCE AND IS ONLY GETTING ATTENTION BECAUSE HE IS  MEMBER OF THE LBGTQIA COMMUNITY! SORRY GUYS WE’VE ALREADY HAD A GAY PRESIDENT!

SPEAKING PERSONALLY GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN A FEMALE VAGINA AND A MALE RECTUM IT’S WHAT MY LITTLE HEAD WOULD CALL A NO BRAINER! BUT HEY DIFFERENT POKES FOR DIFFERENT BLOKES!

ON THE OTHER HAND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW A LESBIAN CAN REJECT A MAN. LET’S FACE IT MANY OF US ARE MAJOR ASSHOLES ANYWAY. BUT WHY DO SO MANY LESBIAN COUPLES SEEM TO ADOPT A MALE AND FEMALE PERSONA. WHAT’S WITH THAT?

ALWAYS TRAGIC WHEN A YOUNG PERSON PAYS THE MAXIMUM PRICE FOR MAKING A MISTAKE.

OTTO WARMBIER HAD NO BUSINESS BEING IN NORTH KOREA. BUT HEY HE WAS OVER 21 AND WAS CAPABLE OF MAKING HIS OWN DECISIONS EVEN IF THEY WERE EXTREMELY NAÏVE. HE DOUBLED DOWN ON HIS MISTAKE BY RIPPING OFF A WORTHLESS PROPAGANDA POSTER.

LET’S HOPE THAT THE DONALD WASN’T STUPID ENOUGH TO COMPOUND OTTO’S ERROR BY PAYING KIM JUNG UN 2 MILLION BUCKS FOR HIS HOSPITAL CARE! ITS ONE THING FOR SOMEONE TO DECIDE TO PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK. BUT IT IS COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE TO PAY A TERRORIST NATION RANSOM THAT ONLY MAKE US ALL AT AN INCREASING RISK!

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!

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!
