Heartbreak Hotel

Back in the mid-50’s, Elvis Presley scored a big hit with Heartbreak Hotel. What a song. But this is not about Elvis’s legacy, it is about our country’s. I know, the Eagles also had one about Hotel California where, “You can checkout anytime you like but you can never leave.” But I wonder if America is turning turning into heartbreak hotel?

“Well, it’s down at the end of Lonely Street At Heartbreak Hotel.”

No, I don’t suggest songs are prophetic or particularly relevant except that the vision seems to fit in some cases. Purely by coincidence of course, unless you are talking about literature and Orwell’s 1984. Then it probably hits much closer to home.

Anyway, what do you call it when a president or a political party attacks the economy, energy, history, schools, the country and our justice system (and the people) all at the same time? What do we have?

Put it this way, I’m concerned but I don’t see the solution in elections. I mean haven’t we learned that only goes so far? And that just sets the cycle going from election to election, and getting much the same results.

So I start wondering now and then if we can overcome all the obstacles and this agenda? Is it possible or is it fools gold? How many times can you get up expectations only to have the wind blow them all away? And I’m not recommending a no way out mindset. We still must have hope. They cannot kill that off.

However, when things look grim as they often do, it does start feeling like we are in a heartbreak hotel but with little other options. It is all bound to break your heart seeing this mostly intentional damage inflicted on the country. And as I said, with all these parts of the US being attacked at once, how do you defend the turf?

The Democrats’ rhetoric is anchored to the past while they systematically destroy our hopeful future. Not by accident. Ever feel like you’re living in an experiment gone wrong?

Take this example: I get a campaign flier from a judicial candidate. No party is mentioned but a quick scan reveals the words “justice not handcuffs,” in quotes like here. Wait, could it be a candidate attacking those radical “reform” concepts? No, sure enough it was another activist, leftist candidate running on that theme. This time a judicial one. The same rhetoric as radical DA’s use.

I previously looked into some of the radicals’ policies and code words pop out like a teen frat party. One of them is called diversion policies. You know: diversion programs, mainly for youth but not exclusively for them, which divert justice or consequences for crime under the guise of rehabilitation. The idea is to keep criminals’ records clean because of the “stigma” contained in conviction from the justice system. No record, no stigma. It’s the “system” that stigmatizes criminals — not what they’ve done.

So I read this stuff they put out as if it makes the case for the programs, when it doesn’t. Yet they are pushing this stuff on us like it has great results. It doesn’t. Sure, they make their case but lacking in it is any sense of accountability or empathy for real victims. Yet it is interesting seeing them put this forward as some kind of solution to the problems they are creating. It’s dangerous.

But how many people fall for this propaganda of the Left? That scares me as much as the programs. Another thing I notice with these radicals is that these programs have long legs. They just keep creating more of them regardless of whether they work. What can you do about them? Can elections fix this?

Even if you get candidates elected, the tentacles of these programs are still there, after radicals are evicted, contaminating the entire system. How do you keep up with current work loads while trying to restore the system? What are real the odds of success?

The idea is not to let these radicals into office in the first place. That’s good if you can. But it may be a little late, if they already are in various places. I only offer my area as an example. If they are pushing radicalism here, then they are doing it everywhere. It will be the demise of society. They don’t care because that is what they want, as long as it leaves them in political control when all the SHTF.

But there is no accountability for either the policies or crime it produces and encourages. Then we are back to wondering if the country can survive this onslaught of attacks or what it will be like in the end? Or are we already doomed to a Heartbreak Hotel scenario?

Only those that truly care about the country are disturbed by it.

Essence of 1984

The Left always lectures us, when challenged, that context matters. So there is one page in George Orwell’s 1984 that brings it all together, so nicely.  Of course what makes it more poignant to us now are the parallels we see around us.

 

1984

“Sometimes he talked to her of the Records Department and the impudent forgeries that he committed there. Such things did not appear to horrify her. She did not feel the abyss opening beneath her feet at the thought of lies becoming truths. He told her the story of Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford and the momentous slip of paper which he had once held between his fingers. It did not make much impression on her. At first, indeed, she failed to grasp the point of the story.

‘Were they friends of yours?’ she said.

‘No, I never knew them. They were Inner Party members. Besides, they were far older men than I was. They belonged to the old days, before the Revolution. I barely knew them by sight.’

‘Then what was there to worry about? People are being killed off all the time, aren’t they?’

He tried to make her understand. ‘This was an exceptional case. It wasn’t just a question of somebody being killed. Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it’s in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don’t know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories. Just in that one instance, in my whole life, I did possess actual concrete evidence after the event — years after it.’

‘And what good was that?’

‘It was no good, because I threw it away a few minutes later. But if the same thing happened today, I should keep it.’

‘Well, I wouldn’t!’ said Julia. ‘I’m quite ready to take risks, but only for something worth while, not for bits of old newspaper. What could you have done with it even if you had kept it?’

‘Not much, perhaps. But it was evidence. It might have planted a few doubts here and there, supposing that I’d dared to show it to anybody. I don’t imagine that we can alter anything in our own lifetime. But one can imagine little knots of resistance springing up here and there — small groups of people banding themselves together, and gradually growing, and even leaving a few records behind, so that the next generations can carry on where we leave off.’

‘I’m not interested in the next generation, dear. I’m interested in us.

‘You’re only a rebel from the waist downwards,’ he told her. ” [pg 195-196]

It all starts to sound so eerily familiar. Listen to Julia…. echoes. But when he imagines small groups of resistance banding together, growing you have to think of the very purging and silencing operations carried out now to prevent just that sort of thing from happening – let alone taking root. Are we living fiction?

[Page 197]

“In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself
most successfully on people incapable of understanding it.
They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations
of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity
of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently
interested in public events to notice what was happening.
By lack of understanding they remained sane.” …../

 

“Who controls the past controls the future:
who controls the present controls the past,”

Joe’s 15 Minutes of Fame and Pain

With half the collective cognitive ability of an anthill, Joe Biden takes to the South Lawn for a pre-planned rally to celebrate inflation, while the market was tanking in real time – going south faster than Joe. It dropped 1200 points by the time he spoke.

‘Titanic move over, I’ve got a better band,’
It was better than an ice cream festival, for Lyin’ Biden.

After all, Joey didn’t have to explain anything. He had famous singer, songwriter James Taylor to do the interpretive messaging for him. Biden wanted to hear that favorite song, fire and rain. “I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain. I’ve seen sunny days I thought would never end…” Except that it is a song about suicide, pain and addiction.

I know, with the lyrics fire and rain, Joe was thinking climate change and to change the message from the creeping inflation. But Biden’s economy is lying in pieces on the ground, with our “sweet dreams” and lives hanging in the balance.

So I took the liberty to rework the lyrics a little — aka Corny Pop style.

I seen anger and I seen pain,
I seen James try to put us in shame.

And I hope to never see that again,
From my rooftop or my poop-drop.

But our time may be at hand,
If we don’t oppose their plans and take a stand.

“Lord knows when the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around.”

 

This reminds me that those valiant musicians are always my go to sources for politics and influence, or as the left believes. Them and celebrities have the best political advice.

‘Cause I know damn well musicians got their finger right on the pulse of the people and  important problems in America. Maybe I’ll write a song about that. Cheers to those preening, musical Nostradumasses! Hats off to you.

Don’t Look Now, PA Doing It Again: early bird call.

Okay, so there is still time before midterm elections and this is only speculation based on some early polls. It looks like the PA goose is cooked. I’ll make the call, hope I’m wrong.

Pennsylvania appears poised to elect ‘Feta-cheese Al Creepo’ as the new, most prominent socialist and Marxist/commie in the Senate. (or Socialist El Capo, if you prefer)  Congratulations PA, the jokes on you. You will be stuck with Fetterman and Casey.

Sadly so will the country be, to some extent. Seems PA just cannot say no to him.

Five Thirty-Eight has him up by 11 points over Dr Oz.
A Survey Monkey poll has Fetterman at 47% and Oz at 30%.
Even BuzzFeed says Fetterman is having fun trolling his way to a Senate seat.
(this is all after Fetterman had a stroke, with limited campaigning)

Now I know, don’t believe and rely on the polls! But there is the 2020 election where PA went for Biden. Just the fact Fetterman is up by that much in polls should be alarming. We know what he is, all that remains is to haggle the price. (as they say) Never had a real job, yet he’s a died in the wool socialist — at best. Commie is far more accurate.

We saw the direction PA went in 2020, notwithstanding disputes. But no relief.

Fetterman is running to the left of Bernie, and probably a lot more militant. Once in, they will not be able to force him out. So I’d say PA is gone to the dark side. It really is a shame. From such high hopes to no hope.

I lost most of any confidence I had in PA back in 2020. It showed America who they were. Only now, they are going to try to blame Trump, his supporters or some other force for losing and electing Fetterman. But no, it is PA that did this, just like it was in 2020.

Don’t blame Republicans for your loss in PA. It is not Dr Mehmet Oz or Trump’s fault. Dr Oz made some minor strategic errors, which is expected. But Fetterman?

And by the way, Republicans need to make a new ’24 roadmap that does not include PA because that is just reality. We can’t depend on them. Once your state goes for someone like Fetterman, well, game over. Nothing good will ever come of that.

It really irritates me to say it but that is my hunch. I do hope I am wrong in the end. But my confidence in PA left the station in 2020 and there is no return trip scheduled.

Newt Gingrich chimed in that he was born in PA, with family still in central PA. He knows Pennsylvania, and says they would never go for a radical socialist like Fetterman.

Well, I am not so confident as he seems to be that they will stop or prevent it. There are a few reasons for that which I’ll keep to myself. I would love to be proved wrong.

Forked Tongue Giveth A Recession

The US is officially in recession, while Biden and his crony government are stuck in denial. The experts don’t have that luxury and have to deal with reality. We have two consecutive quarters of negative GDP. Sec. Yellen is yelling, this is “not a recession.”

Joey claimed a great labor market mitigates that recession label but labor is a lagging indicator, which inevitably reflects the current reality — not Biden’s false perception of it.

The truth is Biden ran the economy into the ground, just like the country. Where did we hear that clear-eyed prediction two years ago? Despite the warnings and all the red flags, Joey went full-speed ahead without brakes. Like Paul Pelosi blowing past a stop sign.

Now we have a compounding economic calamity, fabricated by Bidenomics and Bidenflation. So Lying Biden will get the historic inflation award and earn the “R”-word.

Biden wrecked his political career, the economy and country, along with our energy, border and national security. He wants us shipwrecked, stranded and destitute in the US.

While on the Freedom front, things do not look any better. For years we heard about Democrats coming for our 2nd amendment and guns. In stunning reality — as if that were not bad enough — they are not only coming for our guns but are now coming for our car, furnace, appliances, food supply, way of life, your kids and eventually your job.

The Left is coming for it all as well as your basic freedom. Due process, protection from illegal search and seizure, equal protections under the law, the first amendment and freedom of assembly to organize. It’s all going down the toilet with one giant Biden flush. And our Constitutional protection from invasion has been nullified. We have never been intentionally placed in such a precarious position by the very government designed to secure our freedom and preserve the Constitution.

Joe Biden has busted all the molds.

Recession now means a more steady and stable economy. Soaring energy costs mean transition. In a  response to affects of COVID vaccines, Fauci illustrated our policy.

Share this everywhere and keep sharing it pic.twitter.com/Y1uPbBkmPe

— pygs40 (@GarnerDarell) July 28, 2022

Fauci: “Well, the menstrual thing, ah, is something that seems to be quite transient and temporary. That’s the point. We need to study it more.”

The words “transient and temporary” should be familiar: like on inflation, economic effects, employment, recession, energy, gender, identity, crime, the border invasion, recession … or anything else in the Biden-world of crisis denial. Transition nation.

But for the rest of us living in reality in 2022, who are not onboard the transitional transformation train, it is all very real no matter how much Democrats want to study it. We are not test tube experiments nor Ginny pigs. The results are in.

So no matter how much Joey delivers lie after lie about it, that will not change the facts.

And judging by the poll numbers, the rest of the country is not on the transitional train either, since the economy and inflation are the number one issues — not climate change.

Moral of the story: you cannot have a recession without two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Well, son of a bitch, we got that!

Morning In America to Mourning America

In the span of 40 years, we have gone from Morning in America to Mourning America. It didn’t happen by accident either. That is no achievement — or is it for some people?

It is hard to imagine yet we all witnessed what led up to it. No, this is not about Trump — much as the left wants everything to be about DJT — it is about the greatest country in the history of the world.  That’s far bigger than one man or the blame of one man.

The USA will be 250 years old in 2026, no matter what leftists say. Instead, we will all be wondering if we can make it another 10 years, never mind 100 years. Well, what do you think? Have we reached the expiration date on the carton? Is it time to face reality?

I mean the polls, which are not very dependable, have already said less people are now proud of the country. There is a lot in an opinion: Proud of what it’s become? Proud of what it is doing? Proud of the direction it is going? Proud of present America?

I want to believe people are still proud of the conception and idea of America. Though I don’t know the chances for any celebration in 2026? Some aren’t even proud of that. Their whole goal on the left is to destroy our pride. Certainly not to allow it to continue.

Some of them would be right there rooting for a Chicom takeover, or at least not caring one way or another about it. Just the way they are welcoming illegals over the border.

When these kinds of public sentiments are popular, we are in a bad place. It breeds grief.

I would like to suggest all kinds of ways to fix it. But the only way I know of to do that is to fix the people who are ruining it. So we stand here on the virtual eve of 250 years, 1/4 of a millennium, at a crossroads. Who anticipated that say 40 years ago?

Personally, I would much prefer if there were a celebration of how far we came and what we have done. Instead, it is about what all is wrong with America — it has been for years.

The next presidential term will have this anniversary on its watch…. whoever that is.

Joey, the author of grief at your service.

Remember when Ronald Reagan criticized the government and its ambitions? Well, today the Left criticizes the American people and whatever we hold dear. See the shift over 40 years? We have become the problem — not their machinations with our government, or its abuses of power. They are from the government, here to help, but we are the problem.

Someone is lying and we cannot be to blame for this whole mess. In fact if we had our way, some heads would roll and there would be some accountability, very generously applied.  But since there really is no accountability that is our fault, too?

Let me guess, they have all the answers to fix it by shutting us up and the Constitution down. Why do they think Marxism is the answer? Anyone who still denies their Marxist cause is willfully ignorant. They see economics as the big problem because much of their ideology is rooted in it. (not real economics — but their corrupted economics)

It is a hybrid political economics. And if you think CRT is bad enough, then wait until radicals control our entire economic system. That’s where this all goes. So having radixal leftist ideology running our economic system, who thinks that is a great idea?

Confidence is dwindling but you cannot fix stupid. You’d think we’d be over this by now.

So we are having a grief crisis in America. Grab a Kleenex and say an earnest prayer.

4th of July Retro

Not to get too personal, I’ve known a lot of different kinds of people over the years. Some of them were freedom fighters, anarchists to revolutionary types. But most of them had at least some redeemable characteristic about them. They were genuine and for the most part decent people. They cared about things, maybe too much. That needs explaining.

But conversations did not dwell on their ideas, it was about whatever was going on, events, or people. We got along fine. Few were spiritual but most were clearly not. I would have even called some of them radical, except that meant something different than it does now. (or in its current use) Just a wild diversity of people and views. Seemed harmless.

One interesting friend was a guy I knew from early on who sort of started the trend. His specialty was Marxism and political science. A very knowledgeable person when I wasn’t.

As to most of the others, some might thought weirdos at the time, they fit into another category altogether. Some were very intelligent too, but that was not the point. They had a belief in something, what exactly wasn’t too clear. But interesting might have trumped everything else. There seemed no good reason why we could not all be friends. Why not?

Although those ideas or views were not the center of any friendship, one question always baffled me about their particular views or politics. That was to where such a view would lead? How far would it go, and how deep were those views? I never dwelt on an answer except that I did not know. And I had no reason to think they knew either.

Now there is a reason why I say this. I never really held it against them. It’s their thing. I like my views so don’t bug me about mine; I don’t bug them about theirs. Simple right? Kind of a mutual code of conduct. As long as we all adhere to that, fine.

 

But oh how times have changed. Or should I say how the times have changed us? The thing is today we see all too clearly where the ideas lead. There can be no mistaken agenda about it. The revolutionaries today are more like FARC or guerilla revolutionaries, who would pair up with Che Guevera, Chavez or Maduro. There is no hiding the truth about their purpose to undermine the legitimacy and history of the USA.

It gets harder today to give them a naive benefit of the doubt about a radical agenda, or where it leads, because we’ve seen the proof. They all go down the same Marxist hole to follow the commie line. You can no longer just say, “I’m not a part of any of that.” This is where radicalism leads; whether they knew it then or not, we all know it now.

No more passes. So if you are a part of that or allied with it, you can and should be called out with the rest of the vast anti-American revolutionaries. How about a little pride?

Media or establishment can call out Jan 6th protestors for disagreeing with their election, but can’t condemn real revolutionaries undermining everything in America. Weird eh?

 

Lets take a look at the one thing, belief, that carries across the spectrum. I have my beliefs, these people apparently have theirs. I don’t know exactly what all their beliefs are based on but I know what mine are based on. This is not about who is right or wrong. Except that someone has to be in the end. It did not used to matter so much.

So if you have some strong beliefs, you should know what they are based on. We saw that with Obama: just believe in some transformational thing without knowing what the hell it really is, or where it leads. Believe in him and what he says.  From Obama’s perspective, all that mattered is that people “just keep believing” period. A real faith-based campaign.

No more excuses, the ideology matters.

My ideas and beliefs are based on things that stood the test of time.  And the critical thinking needed to make assessments about other beliefs. If beliefs are not based on anything, we can figure out where they eventually lead. And we see a whole lot of that now coming to the surface. No more excuses, you didn’t know. You should have known, not like there is a not enough evidence out there already, and accumulating fast.

These days, radicals are not nice people. Radical is a big step from what it used to be in a non-conformist environment.  Now it is all about conforming to radical views or ideas represented in our government by the revolutionary types. It turns out the revolution was against America not for her and, by the looks of it today, they won.

There is another controversial idea that they won. Let me explain. If by won we mean who is in control and assumed power, it is them — the radicals. Looks are deceiving. But if you mean what prize, other than levers of power, they won it is a different matter.

No, they didn’t win over any of us normies out there who already had our own fixed set of beliefs or ideas. Last I checked, socialists might be gaining but they don’t convince many of us who know better. They do convince those without any firm beliefs who can be molded into their power base — which is also still not the majority of the country.

So now the fun begins.

But they are really not winning in the real sense, which matters. They aren’t winning in public opinion in hearts and minds. The more people find out — aka gets revealed — about what this is about and where it leads, the less they like it. You cannot sign on for the long haul without knowing where something leads. That is why Dems have to put up vague visions of utopian green energy plans, social issues or redistribution diversions.

It is not government’s role to scam us. But the truth is being carefully filtered out about these Marxist agendas and they don’t want us to know where it leads.

It’s sort of like looking at the Nigerian email scam. If it looks and acts like a duck, then it ain’t a Maserati. We cannot allow them to deny the obvious. Radicals are now every bit as revolutionary as the people who swept in Nicholas Maduro. So if you sign on for part of it, you are signing on for the whole package because that is where it leads.

So excuse me if I hassle some people about their views and beliefs. They deserve scrutiny, it is a serious matter. Yes, it involves all of us, not just selfish rosy-eyed utopians. It is our future they are betting, too. The stakes are even greater for us since they don’t care.

Cause Affects Us All

Since we discussed the stupidity of what Biden is doing, we still don’t know the why? Yes, it matters. So where is intent in all this?

More and more people are saying that what Biden is doing is purely intentional. That goes from the border to the economy. It’s hard to ignore intention. At least you can solidly be sure that all this pain and damage is not by accident. It couldn’t be.

Adding even more evidence to it is the rush to politicize problems and use them to push their Leftist political agenda. Every time. So are any of these catastrophes in the “oops, did I do that” camp? There is just no incentive anymore to do the right thing.

Our pain is their gain. They have no shame about it. We must lose for them to win.

They seem to see the country flailing in the wind as they carefully guide us into a poisonous cesspool of national policy to satisfy their political agenda. Why should any political agenda be so opposed to the will of the people? How could that be popular?

Larry Kudlow coined a term. He calls it Immaculate Inflation — because they don’t know what caused it; maybe it’s a gift from heaven? But they have no responsibility for it.

Well, even if the intent is there for anyone looking at it.

Joey Pissing In The Wind

Thanks to Fox comes this article on Bidenflation and Bidenomics.

Liz Peek writes:

“Biden loses control of inflation, and the trust of American people — Americans have lost faith in government, leading to The Great Distrust”

I call it The Great Distrust. Simply stated, Americans have lost their confidence in our leaders, our institutions (think FBI, Congress, public education, CDC etc.) and, most especially, our president. We are trying to keep our balance on an ever-shakier foundation, trying to move forward as the pillars of our country are eaten away by a rising tide of political discord and dishonesty.

Video

At the heart of that corrosion: President Joe Biden

Consider Biden’s recent speech at the Port of Los Angeles, where he addressed inflation which he alternately called his “top economic priority” and “Putin’s tax on both food and gas.”

1. “Millions of Americans are moving up to better jobs and better pay.” Actually, real wages tumbled 3% over the past year.

2. “And since I took office, families are carrying less debt on average in America. They have more savings than they’ve had.” Reality: debt is rising and personal savings are falling.

3. “What economists call ‘core inflation’ — moderated the last two months.” Reality: core inflation of 0.6% in June remained at the highest level recorded over the past six months.

“First up, is not admitting that spending $1.9 trillion from the Democrat-only American Rescue Plan ignited inflation.

[*Then telling us he will now decrease the budget deficit by 1.7 trillion. ]

When Biden signed that bill, spewing hundreds of billions of dollars to Americans sitting on $2.5 trillion in excess savings, the country was growing at 6% and recovering rapidly from the COVID-19-induced downturn. Biden claims the economy was on the brink of recession when he took office and required the lavish handouts; that is not true.”

Welcome to Biden’s Amerika. Lying is the specialty.

Biden Doctrine Of Open Stupidity

A Biden doctrine emerged from smoldering ashes of public unity. It is to “do something wrong.” No matter what the issue or problem, the answer is just do something wrong.

Everywhere it is clear: open borders, war on energy to inflict pain on the people, undermine national security, poison the economy with every harmful action, to military, gun control, or their Ministry of Disinformation. Then complain about racism and inequity everywhere, while creating it in everything with their agenda.

Flashback to Obama-Biden years, their doctrine was don’t do stupid shit. But unlike what it said, it did not mean that they were not doing dumb stuff. It was only meant to provide an assumption that they were not doing stupid shit intentionally. It was a cover doctrine so you could not possibly think they intended to do something stupid. You get the idea.

But now the mask is off. That was a negative rule to not do something. Now we have a positive rule to actually do something wrong, knowing full well it is wrong and will have negative consequences. Except sell it as the right thing to do, or the only valid option.

Before, they wanted the perception of trying to avoid negative consequences, even though we caught on soon after Obama began. Those days are gone and today they are all about inviting bad consequences as a political agenda, with no apologies. They freely admit it, telling us it is necessary for the big-green transition — which is inherently wrong.

When the consequences do come, then just deny those were their goals. But the policies as they inflict them on us are very intentional. Deny the consequences until you can’t.

Never mind sending in the clowns, just “let Joe be Joe” and make him the clown.
“The commander of nothing,” as Newt calls him.

Saving Sanity In The Biden Era?

The Democrats are using Orwell’s 1984 as a blueprint instead of a satire. Now they have instituted a Ministry of Truth. Of course they wouldn’t call it that, they would rather endow it with the name Misinformation Disinformation Governance Board.

Governing free speech is apparently so popular.

So they are rolling out their ministry of truth to combat, supposedly, all kinds of misinformation — or what they deem as misinformation. (anything they don’t like or agree with.) Ah, what an incestuous web they weave. What sparked this ? You might say it has been in the works a while.

Obama had truth squads and his brownshirt army who were out to keep the record straight. You had 911 Truthers to begin with, who were also part of the left.

But they now incorporated it formally into the administration. What more prominent place to put it than within Homeland Security? Since they keep repeating our greatest threat to the homeland is right-wing extremists, it gives away how they plan to use it.

You might expect such a bureau in some authoritarian regime but here it is in the US. “They’ll never get away with it” becomes another empty mantra along with all their other revisions to our government. They do it and therefore it is. Could there be a Constitutional challenge that tells them “no?” But what are the odds it will be knocked down?

Remember all the czars Obama appointed? Who would stop him? We now will have a department that codifies the network the Left has built among the Silicon Valley social media, to silence any political opposition.

And speaking of social media, what better timing for it than as Truth Social opened to the public? Could they have had that platform in mind? Then Elon Musk buys Twitter threatening their monopoly on censoring information. The Left is screaming over that like when Hillary lost the election.

Adding more insult to the left — as every Tweet from Elon now does — Musk tweeted about the political paradigm alignment. Well, the left jumped to interpret that as a defining of the country, which the Left jealously guards as their inherent right to do. Only they can define the country. So that offended them both ways.

But the image he used was simple and made a point. Here it is.

And that is all it took…. off to the races.

You might say Elon Musk also has some unorthodox ideas for Twitter, sure to set off fireworks — both literally and figuratively. But that’s a subject for another time. This is purely about the political paradigm Musk referenced.

For now, Elon swung at the fences with this image the Left was quick to try to pigeonhole. Many people agreed with his description of where he was on the spectrum of politics. (that was the purpose) The Left hyperventilated about that along with his description in the image that painted the Left as running further and further off the far left scale.

So that prompted someone like Matthew Dowd to respond with a description of where the country is. Here is that assault on reality.

“The truth is, yes the Dems have become more progressive as the country has, but the GOP has moved towards autocracy and further away from “equality and justice for all”. I would ask everyone to acknowledge this factual reality as they discuss the political landscape.”

Get that, blame the country that it is going with progressives.

But we know the country got behind Trump and has trended to the conservative side of the spectrum. The country certainly is not behind the issues or ideas they have.

He wishes everyone would acknowledge that fact … er big lie? Autocracy right?

Only so much time, how sinister they really are. The pendulum has actually swung against the left. Under any poll they seem to be loosing support. But they skip down the yellow brick road acting like everyone is with them. People are running the other way.

Schools, the economy, inflation, socialism, green new deal, open borders, crime, anti-police. The people are not supporting their positions. They are running from them.

What started this defining the politics of the country syndrome? A simple Tweet from Elon Musk on his personal place on the spectrum. Though he seems to have a pretty good grip on what has happened in the country. How long till the Ministry of Truth takes on the subject to have the final “progressive” word?

What Is Wrong With America?

I already know this is going to be a rant, so you are forewarned.

What is wrong with America? It would be simpler and easier to list what is right about America. But the Left never does that. The only thing they care to say is what in their view is wrong with America.

Hence, statures are removed, books are tossed out or banned, history is rewritten to show only negative views of America. Listening to the Left would be a Pravda goldmine or the old KGB’s best resource. (and probably is)

Now with all this negativity, there can’t be much room for any of the good about America. Something else is going on in the Left’s linguistic fantasies. They presume that if everyone is like them, in thought and belief, the world would be safe. (from what we don’t know) But if they could eliminate all people who don’t think like them, everything would be hunky dory. They can’t but it is a goal. They don’t care how it could be accomplished as long as they could get rid of us, like Hitler tried to do to the Jews.

The Bible tells us “the poor will always be with/among you.” So too the Left will always be among us. We accept this because what are the options anyway? The Left doesn’t think that way. It wants and demands complete unanimity. Their whole thought experiment is based on the concept of uniformity. Ideological purity is the goal.

The means to it is the only problem. But don’t think they aren’t working on it, theorizing and strategizing to that end. All they would have to do then is keep everyone thinking the same way, just like them. I didn’t say it was easy. That is certainly their mission. And they control a fair amount of institutional power to at least strategically attempt that.

The right, or conservative, traditional side has not barreled down that road at 100 miles per hour. We just haven’t because it is not realistic. This sort of puts us on the defense. We constantly have to make the case for why what they are doing is not a good idea. It doesn’t work but we have no other choice. We also warn them about the consequences of their schemes, to no avail. It is this constant defensive posture we seem locked into.

The Left has shown its cards, nothing short of unanimity is acceptable. We accept their plan is not possible and understand they will be with us, in some form, forever. We’ve seen nothing changes their rose-colored minds.

However, in the mean time, they are pretty horrible and miserable people to live with. You wouldn’t want them on a desert island with you.

But it really comes down to all this negativity they carry around, all the dislikes about America – or the west for that matter – sucking up all their oxygen. They know no way can they say anything good about America. Their perfection is the enemy of morality.

Now we have example after example of how this pans out with Covid. No one is right except them. So they are to the point where they are willing to make these absurd dictum. Vaccines offered us an insight into their collective mindset.

For instance, many Leftists have said that there should be rules for hospitals against treating non-vaccinated people. They already have rules for restaurants and businesses. Oh, and it doesn’t matter that the Supremes knocked down the mandate, they simply still tell businesses to enact requirements on employees.

Many more believe in a medical treatment litmus test but are not saying it. They think it. They want to make healthcare all but impossible if you are not vaccinated. This is part of what the mandates were all about. You will not be able to get services if you refuse the jab. You must be penalized and banned if you do not comply. That was only the setup.

 

Stepping into this fray are well-known people explicitly saying unvaxed people should be treated like lepers, who cannot be allowed around the rest of society. Rulemakers are the good people and non-conformists are the bad people. It sets the stage for a multitude of issues. Imagine the scenarios. This is only the current one but there will be others.

Their utopian view of society does not include diversity of opinion. It cannot. We all must think and feel the same way, or it all doesn’t work.

These elitist rule-makers would happily deny you any medical or emergency treatment if you are non-vaccinated. And they see no problems with that. This illustrates the problem we described in healthcare for years.

We told them healthcare could be rationed. We told them government control was not good over the entire industry. That it would take advantage of that control. We warned how government would use/abuse that power. They called that nonsense saying it would only ensure everyone is treated correctly. They called us conspiracists.

Well, we have exactly what we warned. Government gets to decide who gets care, how they get it, and how much they get based on its own rules. There could be an appeals process but who has time and resources for that?

The big problem I have is the amount of people who think this is a good idea – and just what the doctor ordered.

You can be denied virtually any life-saving treatment simply because you are not vaxed. That’s what they want. And if you think it requires legislation to happen, you are wrong. They just do it. They can have thousands of medical providers do it because of the investment from government, and its unilateral control.

Before we know it, we have an effective de facto policy banning those not vaccinated. But if they do it for vaccinations, what else can they do it with? Anything is the answer, anything they can describe as a danger to the greater whole or good.

Yes, that means politically too. You see how they maligned anyone who supported or voted for Trump. Now you don’t get life-saving treatment. Too bad so sad, consequences.

 

The hypocrisy is that leftists constantly rail about Jim Crow or apartheid. This is exactly what they are pushing. The black man can’t get a seat at the lunch counter; you cannot get a meal unless you prove you are vaccinated. You cannot get a flight, much less a job.

But the left doesn’t have cops around enforcing this; they have the private sector do it. They make them the watchdogs responsible or else they get fined. You start to see how the whole thing takes shape. The same way they enact new socialism, necessary compliance.

Instead of prohibiting discrimination they encourage it in all places. Codify discrimination.

We will have a complete new stasi state. Everyone complying with rules or policies of the state or unelected bureaucrats. Non-conformance is not an option, ban resistors.

But we warned them of the direction rationalized healthcare would go. We warned them about nationalizing elections. We warned them about banning and cancel culture. It didn’t matter, this is what they want. They demand ideological unanimity and will not stop until they achieve it – or a close facsimile of it.

Now to ask what is wrong with America, the answer depends on whom you ask. To Leftists, everything is wrong and can only be fixed with complete, total agreement to their irrational plans.

We can oppose or resist it but this stasi system keeps unfolding in front of our faces. The Left believes they hold one crucial card: either everything will be fixed by total unanimity (conformance) or nothing at all shall be fixed. That is supposedly our choice, which is no choice at all.

Welcome to the newer, improved radicalism – sibling of terrorism – where no one can have peace or anything else, just like healthcare, until radicals get what they want. “No justice no peace” means our utopia or bust. Total appeasement is the only solution. Are you ready for that?

Change The Tune, Then Play It Again

Hello, beloved patriots:

As the drama of another unpopular year is coming to a close, the lying Left appears to be getting a few messages. Or their ability to deny the truth bombs going off in every part of the country has reached its cosmic limits. Whichever. We are finally confronting the Left’s perception failures.

Start with Democrats abolish/defund police plank. In the last week, notable Democrats have made stunning reversal statements trying to support law and order. They tipped their hat to the crime rates, after denying them for months, suggesting we now need to re-fund and recruit police. Come on, man.

But you can hardly believe Democrats pushing anti-crime rhetoric when they have done everything possible to cause the crime wave. They must be reading the polls. 2022 is an election year, so they think they can swing around to talk about cracking down on crime.

No way, Jose, will that ever sell.

 

Biden makes a stunning statement that “there is no federal government solution to Covid.” Yet that was exactly what he ran on and promised: a federal government anti-state solution. He said he was going to “shutdown the virus.” Just as he told us he was not against fracking or gas. Then he canceled Keystone.

Well, Lying Biden seems to have had an epiphany. He managed to shutdown other things like learning in schools and pipelines in the Mid-West, but he now admits he is a helpless failure at shutting down the virus from hell, which keeps reinventing itself through new variants faster than Joe’s handlers can reload his teleprompter.

We get these occasional words of admission splashed in with the lies to make it appear Democrats are now pivoting their evil ways. No they aren’t. It is ear candy to make it seem like they are seeing the light and reversing themselves. Evidently, polls have consequences. The idea they are capable of reversing themselves is a fairytale.

 

Once again, we are going back to the land of Alice In Wonderland, where Democrats are eating on the wrong side of the mushroom. It’s Howdy Doody Time all over again. We are supposed to suspend belief to once again accept the left’s narrative on our current state of reality. Yet they are busy trying to murder reality with every breath they take.

They are at war with reality.

Even when the Left appears to be coming around to admit the truth, you cannot believe a word they say. And their motives are as corrupted as their evil plans. They haven’t given up on their failed plans, only tying to further disguise them.

 

Now Blomberg News is suggesting our greatest export to the rest of the world might be wokeism. Get that? Sure. the rest of the world should be dying to do to their countries what we are doing to ours, destroying it. Can they be serious?

After wokeism finally seems to be exposed for what it is and proven to be a Marxist tool, America is coming to a verdict to reject it. Even some of the Left’s staunchest mouthpieces have condemned the fallacies of the movement. No, that doesn’t mean it is going the way of the dinosaurs, it means they are tipping their hat to the idea that maybe it doesn’t do what or all they expected it to do. But one failed idea inevitably only leads to another rotten idea on the Left side of the tracks.

 

But they certainly can make public gestures and statements that they finally appear to understand the mistakes they made. Then again, they were not mistakes when they rolled it out because they new the damage it would cause. Now we are supposed to think they were only misguided? They were the ones committing the deception, not victims of it.

Just as we are to think that Biden is now shifting gears to get on the right side of things by admitting the state’s rights are sacrosanct in dealing with a virus? It doesn’t mean Dems changed their minds on any of these positions, like they have not abandoned Marxism. They want you to think they are pivoting.

How many times do you have to watch the same movie thinking you are going to see a different ending? Fool me once, twice, three times. Enough.

I can offer my opinion what this is all about. Leftists are witnessing the success of what conservatives have been saying for years. It is hard to hide the truth staring at us. So now they are trying to adopt some of the positions conservatives have been banging away at.

For instance, the failure of shutting down schools and remote learning. Listen to them acknowledge the policy is wrong now when they stood behind it promoting it. Now they are against shutting down schools? Really? Randi Weingarten has said her objective is only to keep schools open. Really?

Come on, man!

What’s next, will Democrats and the progressively Marxist Left now tell us they still support fossil fuels as an energy source? Will they admit we have to have a steady, reliable form of energy? Will they admit wokeism is wrecking our military? Will they admit their exuberant spend-a-thon is going to cause even more inflation and problems?

Will they admit Hillary hatched the Russia hoax against Trump and, with the help of Obama – Biden, then wove it into a coup on a sitting president? Will they admit it was all fantasy except for the cabal of treason, sedition and cover up they incorporated?

Will they admit the existence of inflation and the damage it is now causing? Will they admit that America is not a bad or evil country? Will they admit that the border needs to be closed and we cannot allow endless numbers of migrants to stream across the border? Will they admit their policy is causing illegal immigration? Will they admit crime is a problem not a solution? Will they admit they are causing crime?

 

But the people know the truth about all that and more. It is only the Left that is saturated in a phony reality, then they continue lying to explain and dismiss it as fast as the very real consequences show up. The verdict has been in on this entire agenda.

The people know the truth. In poll after poll, these ideas only get more unpopular in time. That’s why they were scrambling to push through another 5 trillion-dollar spending plan, before the truth of popular rejection was revealed. But Virginia happened, NJ happened.

 

And isn’t it odd that these fossilized Washington progressives are pushing policies or plans that will harm this country long after they are gone from earth? That is not lost on us. They want the plans to be in force way past their own expiration dates.

Irony To Hypocrisy To Decline

I’m seeing irony and hypocrisy, which is probably what I think and write about most. Not sure why since conservatives are the only ones who care about either. The left has no conscience, individually or collectively.

So Manchin is a “no” on Joe’s Build Backwards Bitter plan.

That ignited the left in ways we knew it would. Enter all the lectures about democracy when this is democracy in action. Most of the country does not agree with these nutty ideas. Who could?

It is actually Bernie’s Bill we are talking about, he wrote it. And is he ever mad at Joe Manchin now? Bernie demands a vote anyway so Joe  can vote “no” in public for the record. It turns out that Socialist Bernie, after being an independent for years, hates Manchin for being independent of the radical plantation. Just the idea Bernie Sanders could run a socialist scheme up the flagpole for everyone to salute is repulsive. Democrats like to call that democracy? There was nothing democratic or legit about any of it.

How low can the US go because I want to know?

On another level, Tucker Carlson has turned into a rock star, at least on Fox News. There was a conservative event over the weekend. Tucker was giving an interview from there and said that we are at the low point so things can’t get any worse, but they can only get better.

Will Cain on Fox was quick to disagree with that statement. He thinks we can only improve if we hit bottom, and he does not believe we have hit that point yet. He sees no real signs of it. Of course people would like to think Tucker is right that everything gets better from here. But I am all in the Cain camp and see nothing indicating we are poised for turn around – or a return to normalcy, which is no picnic either. I don’t think it is a matter of simply being optimistic or pessimistic, but a realist. What have we learned?

And while democrats still hold the reins of power, who can expect they will reverse themselves? After all, we have seen the damage they do even when in the minority. But one thing does become obvious that we are not in the incremental stages of anything. We seem to be in a precipitous decline, which goes faster than anything we have seen yet. That’s why I say, how low can we go because I really do want to know? How far, America?

Holiday From Reality

Whenever a liberal, progressive, socialist, communist tells you that “this is not a cultural thing, America and its values are not under attack,” don’t you believe it. Don’t accept that moronic anti-Americanism excuse for a minute.

Just remember every one of our holidays is under siege: Presidents’ Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Washington’s Birthday, 911, Veterans’ Day, Thanksgiving and even the day that “shall live in infamy,” December 7th. Every one of them has been attacked with regularity, just like Christmas.

Every historical marker of America is under assault, from presidents to monuments, to our wars and founding. Along with symbols like the Flag and Constitution are under constant attack. If it weren’t a pattern it might be one thing, but it is predictable and we know their arguments.

You cannot have a national holiday commemorating the USA, or our heritage, without inciting their venomous attacks. Recently, we see the left’s hatred for the 4^th of July. That strikes at the heart of it all. They don’t like our Independence either. It is offensive.

Their asinine spin to explain this voluminous hatred is that every one of them offends someone, somewhere. That America even exists offends many of these anti-American zealots. It is all about the offended.

For people who want to nationalize everything under a big Federal Government, it is amazing how much hatred they have for the nation itself. Funny how they like the idea of a huge nation without borders, with an authoritarian government. What’s up with that?

They hate America but love an empire regime.

So what is their need for Sanctuary Cities, and Sanctuary States? They tell us they are proud of everything else from their identity to their heritage except the country itself. But they do love that national power.

They have also let another thing out of the bag, too.  Their resentment for our freedom. We always knew it but they denied it.  They completely gave up on that somewhere along the line.

Sure they talk about rights or they used to but it is cover. So murdering babies is about the only one they are still actively supporting. If it is not an actual right, they probably endorse it. Americanism not so much.

America On The Ropes

What is America’s future? That is a question that has riddled us for 100’s of years. America has answered that not by theorizing but in real actions. Because, after all, actions determine our future not political theories. Our future is not based on economic theory but on real time results. But there are consequences for poor actions as well.

Partly what drives this country is our world view and values as lived through our actions. No one can tell us our values are not real. We see them through history. We always hope, or often expect, that good will always win out over evil. Yet that takes effort.

Time and again we have risen to the challenges we face with determination.

So why has America become so polarized? Some will say we have always been. Some will say it is those very challenges that unite us. An example would be 911. We even distinguish between pre and post 911 realities.

Throughout the last 20 years, we have heard a lot of talk about pre vs. post 911 attitudes. It is true. We cannot afford the luxury of systemic denial.

However, I would take it a step further. A good place to start is pre-WWII mentality verses the post-WWII mentality. I see our distinction today being just as serious and just that flawed as it was then.

We’ve had leaders, too, who have risen to challenges. The last we remember was Ronald Reagan. While on the left, they idealize FDR as a hero. So today the contrast is as great as between Reagan and FDR. We cannot live in a pre-World War II mindset. In the end, that kind of denial did not succeed.

Among the Left today, they never take into account the obvious consequences of their agenda. No one fires a shot as America dismantles its defenses and status right in front of our eyes, and our enemies’. But they don’t take into account what that means in a world of rivaling evil engaged in a turf war.

They don’t consider the future that will form in a vacuum.

Do we never assume that one day an alliance of evil will mount all its forces against us? Do we never factor in our contribution to this alliance? Does anyone on the left still care? Do they think that they can have their own reality, unaffected by the world’s influences?

But all that is why Reagan and much of American people believe in peace through strength. Peace doesn’t seem to come from weakness. While that strength seems offensive to some people, it is what stands between us and decline of the west. To the left that decline is an acceptable sacrifice. It is welcomed as one of the consequences they wish to ignore.

The problem is evil does not work this way It is not content to sit in a stagnant state. It is bound to increase and get worse through less and less resistance. Appeasement to it is not the answer. One could think it all spiritual but it is also real. We see the consequences. Our children and grandchildren live with the effects of our actions. It is a huge responsibility.

On the left, responsibility has been abolished. They believe you can have the world you perceive simply by that belief, and nothing was more evident of this than the Obama-Biden years. Damn the facts and reality, simply click your heels three times and believe it is so… and voila, it will be. But the rest of the world does not operate that way. It will not accommodate the Leftists’ beliefs no matter how radical or rational they are.

We are now at that great pivotal point, after Trump was shoved aside. They’ve already cast their lots on the side of that evil. Trump himself said of the country: “there is a point at which it cannot be turned back, and we can never allow that point to be reached.”

But the left wants to make it impossible for us to turn it back. That is their huge goal. So how do you face the enemy within hell-bent against us? May God Bless America.

Don’t Ask Dems To Explain Anything

My hand told my brain it was time to write something. Well, technically my finger told my arm and it told my brain. That is the way it works. Isn’t it?

If that sounds strange, you aren’t alone. It would seem backwards or upside down and it doesn’t make much sense in a rational way.

With all the serious problems around us that we can’t ignore, there is even something worse yet. It is the tediously obnoxious explanations we get for those problems from Democrats or Leftist drones.

So I boiled it all down to one basic analogy of their excellent explanations to our real serious problems. Enjoy.

Suppose your knee hurts and you go to the doctor. You tell him “my knee hurts, doctor. I want to know if it is something serious, so could you tell me what is causing it?”

He or she says sure and examines it. He says “it is hurting because you are walking on it. Apparently you expect it not to hurt but it only hurts you because you think it does. You perceive it hurts and so it bothers you. Your perception is more the problem.”

You: “no, but what can I do about it?”

He suggests “stop letting it bother you so much, just stop thinking about it. If you stop listening, it will stop complaining so much.”

You say “I’ve been ignoring it a while but that hasn’t helped. Now it won’t let me walk or even sleep anymore. So that’s why I came to see you.”

Doctor: “look, ultimately your knee only hurts because you have one, right? I mean your knee could not hurt if you didn’t have one, correct? It obviously couldn’t hurt you then. So just be thankful you still have a knee. And be happy if it hurts which only confirms it is still there. …

“Now suck it up and work on those expectations, a lot.”

Then suppose every other doctor sounded as wacky as that one. That is crazy. But they all tell you this crap with a straight face knowing full well none of it is true or right. Who really cares anyway? Yet it is what they decided the answer should be regardless of what the problem is.

There is the perfectly illogical mindset of the Left. It has all been adequately explained because they say it and spoke it into existence. So it therefore only becomes a problem if you don’t accept their crazy explanations.

Classic Economic Fallout

Another economic problem looms on the horizon just as big and is also a political one. That is if we muddle through immediate pain at the pump, inflation and supply chain issues in tact; it will send the message to the Democrats that they can do this anytime (all the time) to endlessly spend as much for as long as they want. (which is all they know)

That idea is either this fiscal insanity takes a nasty toll on us now, or they will run up that cost exponentially in the future. Couple that with their insatiable appetite to stress the system until it breaks (Cloward-Piven) as a radical strategy, That means if we manage to avoid major catastrophe now, the catastrophic fallout in the future is going to be so big and bad nothing can help or stop it. So if we aren’t finished off now, we will be next time.

I’m not saying this can be fixed, But if you think this is bad, wait until they think they can spend with impunity at no consequence. That will be a sight.  They are only feigning concern about  spending amounts now. But phony concerns will be off.  I don’t want to think of double digit interest rates again, but even that could be understating it.

Only a view from the cheap seats. Bad as it looks, it’s the next time or future we have to think about. Consider this the stress test. At that serious breach of the system down the line, one might prefer collapse rather than the increasing calamity continuing.

Cease The Lies – just stop it

If I had only one wish for the New Year, it would have to be to cease the lies. That unfortunately will not happen soon. I guess the Democrats are addicted.

I know, we could get into the “both sides do it” debate but we all know who is doing the lying on an industrial scale here.

“We pay for every red cent in this bill.” The 5 trillion dollar bill “will cost zero.” This bill will reduce inflation and create jobs. All the people agree with it, they say.

So all the negatives we counter about it, Democrats come right back with their heads on a swivel (picture exorcist) to say it will fix the problem we say it creates.

There are far too many lies to ty to list even the biggest ones. However, a few are just so disturbing you want to pull out your hair. They get away with it because they have a license, enforced by major media and the Democrats.

We tell them we don’t like CRT taught in our schools. They tell us that CRT does not exist, and thus certainly is not used in schools. There is no CRT agenda.

We tell them their spending is not on infrastructure. They tell us how everything is infrastructure: feeding and changing the baby is infrastructure. They balk when we say it is a socialist agenda from radical commies hell-bent on destroying our country, even as they tell us they are socialists. They say we are over reacting and delving in conspiracy theories. No, they are the conspirators.

We tell them the Russian hoax was cooked up by Hillary, back-fed into our government intelligence apartus to use against a candidate/president. They say we are making it up.

Peter Strzok weaponized political campaign dirt – from foreign sources they colluded with – against our election and government. Now it is proven they were fully aware of where the information(shit) came from but they used it even to gain FISA warrants to investigate a candidate, president and his organization. No, we are trying to destroy democracy.

Democrats said we were blowing smoke and it was all justified. Now as the scant Special Counsel investigation details come out to validate their sources and methods, they simply ignore it in MSM and can’t be bothered to report it. Wouldn’t you think if they really believed the initial Hoax that they might be surprised by the facts and truth – facts left out of the Mueller Report? But no — they don’t seem very shocked.

Now we find out this administration is on a mission to pay illegal immigrants for being “separated” from their children, during the Trump administration, to the tune of over 400 grand per person. First they claimed that was not true.

But the real number for the victims was 2 million and that DOJ is engaged in a settlement with their friends in the ACLU. (That should almost be a conflict of interest right there)

But then Biden justified it and the administration is now saying it is being done to save taxpayers and the government money. Say what? “Don’t you want to save money?”

So whenever they spend money they are saving us money. How come all the people who suffered under their absurd lockdowns were not entitled to damages, inflicted by the government? Damages to people, actual citizens, are not covered but payouts are made to illegal aliens for some spurious claims of damnage.

These people are sick. Apparently the idea is to drive anyone who doesn’t agree with their radical agenda crazy, or as clinically insane as they are. A least when they get their way, they are happy sickos.

It’s the same principle as radical Islamist terrorists of Taqiyya, where adherents are encouraged to lie and deceive to accomplish radical objectives, to defend themselves.

It looks like the same thig, only these people do it with abandon without any regard for you knowing they are lying. The onus is always shifted to their opposition to prove they are lying. Once you do they say it doesn’t matter.

If you said the sky is blue and that abortion kills children; they would say “no it’s not blue and those are not children by any definition.” You say they are babies, they say they are not. You say they are offspring fetuses to which they deny it. Get it? You say life begins at conception and they say it begins when they say it does, or it doesn’t, depending what they choose. You say it is murder, they call it an act of mercy.(see mercy killings in Islamism)

They tell us the problem is that we need to lower our expectations, by a lot. When they push spending programs they say we need to raise our expectations — it should be limitless. We point out the problems at the open border. They tell us the real problem is our perception of a problem. What crisis?

That takes us up to Jennifer Granholm. She went on Bloomberg and was asked what she and the administration is doing to bring down the price of gas and energy. She laughed in his face calling it hilarious. Granholm complained about OPEC controls while chaining us more to it. She said we have to think of the long term. But there is no attempt, in the short term, to stop us from slitting our own throats. She denied they have any restrictions on fossil energy — just as they are eying up a new pipeline in Michigan for possible closure. But they admit their plan is to end the use of fossil fuels. No restricting going on here.

They tell us they don’t want to abolish cops. Their whole agenda began under the banner of abolishing the police. Then they called it “defunding” – which if you do the math means the same thing. But they deny what they are doing, even when people scream to stop defunding police. The statistics show they are eliminating cops. It was the objective, after all. But they deny that too. Not them!

They even tell us we will be safer if we eliminate the police. What nonsense. You name the problem, they say they are doing the opposite and are really fixing it.

You say they are ruining  us and destroying our country from the foundations up, and out. They tell us they are expanding the Constitution.

The point is,  I used to talk about all the wacky arguments because they needed to be brought into daylight when it was coming from margins on the left.  Now they are doing it in broad daylight echoed by the mainstream. We all see it, They deny what we see/hear.

So what the hell is it with the denial about it? You would think that there cannot be any disagreement on what they are doing in our faces. But no, they laugh at you, then they mock you, then say “no, you are wrong.” They would not ever wittingly do anything to harm the country…. except that they deliberately are.

Normalcy Is Dead

That is a declarative statement because I don’t think there is any question about it. Talking in terms of politics, normalcy is dead but when that occurred could be debated. People should be able to agree on that unless in severe denial.

Why that is important ranges the gambit. However, a recent post about world power rivalry left me thinking about this whole relationship in regards to individual countries.

So I did a little personal exercise thinking of all the people I’ve loosely known from other countries and then thought of what condition their countries are in now, as opposed to say 40-50 years ago. Or even around the time of Reagan as a milestone.

My observation and conclusion, which could be flawed and subject to my own biases, is that most of those countries were on a better trajectory years ago. Now it seems like every one of them is headed toward an opposite, questionable future.

Sure reasons could be too numerous to mention, but as a rule the political future in those countries is in jeopardy. I refer to places like Hong Kong, Venezuala, Taiwan, even Japan has some issues with respect to China. I also added Puerto Rico and Haiti in for flavor.

Yes, China was one of the countries in my short list of about 10 or so. It had some positives. A lot has changed about and in it in those years. Even the trajectory back then of China until now is dramatically different in people’s eyes. And much more so since the pandemic.

In America we like to wish the best on others, which in turn would usually be good for the US. It hasn’t really worked that way though for either of us – meaning for their future or ours. Maybe that is just wave of the times. This is tied to many coincidental factors. Maybe it is much simpler that a larger momentum is going in the wrong direction. (for all)

You could try your own thought experiment plugging in various countries of your choice. I am looking for what it tells us and I don’t like the messages that I am getting. For instance, in general is the world a much more dangerous place than it was decades ago, or not? But in this analysis, one has to be honest about it across the board.

 

That is why it seems with the US — as much as we heard about a return to normalcy during the 2020 election — we got a lot less normalcy, by any standards, than we were promised. In fact, what is normal anymore? Is it it an illusion, or some abstract?

But actually that whole idea of normalcy is very overrated. I was not too fond of that political normalcy prior to 2016 anyway. Good riddance. Except can we just finally admit that normalcy, as they define it, is not the solution in any of these problems but part of the disease? In fact, it could even be a chief cause. (I offer no proof of that)

Let us be done talking about normalcy like some aspirational goal. What is now substituted for normal has more faults than the old Minneapolis Bridge. I could stand losing a concept, or security blanket, of “normal” but I don’t like losing the entire country and way of life along with it.

But there is something more grounded and fundamental than normal. It’s called common sense. And when you lose that there is a price to pay. Things fall apart; they don’t make sense like they once did. Up is down and down is up. We lose ground quickly.

I’m not saying those other countries are suffering for the same reasons. In some ways, other countries have seemed to retain a normalcy without losing values like common sense. It is just that there are more external factors working against them than there used to be.

So the US might be unique in the reasons it is going in the wrong direction or under more threats than the past. It could be much more our fault than in those other countries. For example, as improved as things have gotten in Taiwan over the years, they are now under greater threat than ever. I can’t blame that on the Taiwan people. They didn’t cause it.

Look what happened to Hong Kong. It’s been robbed of its future. Once a thriving beacon, it suffered not due to internal struggles and threats but from a tyrannical external one.

Venezuela likely had many external pressures. Their futures might be bleak now as is ours. But theirs is not simply a matter of internal collapse, but coming from forces outside.

When a nation loses its independence and identity, shit happens. When its sovereignty is stripped away for whatever reasons, it is open to all kinds of rot from the worst places even within, none of which are positive, and evil flourishes.

May the correct force be with us. Normalcy is not the cure.
