Free Speech and The Left

The American Spectator has an excellent article on how the left is attempting to stifle free speech (here).  It begins with:

Americans are no longer a free people, if debate on major public-policy issues is effectively criminalized, which is what the Democrats and their allies are attempting to do with regard to our immigration policy. We are now being told in effect that it is “hate speech” to express opposition to the open-borders agenda of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and such of their billionaire donors as George Soros.

Democrats and their media allies have recently taken to declaring that it is a “dog whistle” of racism and anti-Semitism for any Republican even to mention the name of Soros in connection with the immigration issue. If you don’t think the United States should throw open its borders to welcome the caravan of Honduran migrants now headed north through Mexico, and if you call attention to how Democrats are cheering on this horde of would-be foreign invaders, well, you must be some kind of Nazi who wants to kill Jews. Or at least that’s the general drift of liberal rhetoric in the final week of the midterm election campaign.

There is No Downside

Democrats recognize the day is fast approaching when  they cannot win elections without the numbers that migrating populations bring.  These new neo-citizens will displace Americas existing minorities in jobs, benefits, and political power.  There is only one hazardous point along the path; they must pacify the brothers and sisters until their new constituent base is in place.  To get past this ‘choke point’ their strategy has two components: enrage the black population and expedite the accumulation of Hispanic citizens.  The Democrats have America’s black population eating (literally) out of their hand; they know exactly what buttons to push to keep them both subservient and loyal.  The rapid accumulation of new citizenry can be seen occurring before our eyes.  In short, the Democrats can piss all over their constituents because there is no downside.  The brothers and sisters are safely within the confines of the plantation and have no interest in wandering away.   

Worthy of Our Pity

So she had roughly 55 years of adult experience and found nothing in those many years to believe strongly in enough to have her voice heard?  My personal belief is that the Never Trumpers are not necessarily against Trump (although the believe they are) but rather they are longing for acceptance.  They will be whatever the hive would have them be, if only the hive would accept them.  They deserve our pity.

And the Beat Goes On: Hillary Edition

A longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, Philippe Reines, hinted that while it’s unlikely, it’s not impossible that the United States gets a rematch election in 2020.

He  made the comments in Politico and examined, in detail, what Clinton’s role might be moving forward in Democratic politics. She is fighting hard to remain in the public eye after her shocking election loss to Trump, and she’s set to embark on a speaking tour with Bill. 

While her future could be limited to appearing at rallies, if the door were to open, I’m sure she would dash right in.

Told Ya

Texas law enforcement officials have arrested four women for allegedly targeting elderly voters in the 2016 elections in a “voter fraud ring” that was funded by a Democratic Party leader.

Indicted were Leticia Sanchez, 57, Leticia Sanchez Tepichin, 39, Maria Solis, 40, and Laura Parra, 24, on a cumulative 30 felony counts of voter fraud.

They conducted the scheme when applications for mail ballot were generated in targeted precincts.  When ballots were mailed out by election offices, the group intercepted the ballots or ‘assisted’ elderly voters to ensure votes were cast for the democrat. In most cases, the voters didn’t even know their votes have been stolen.

Oh Dear God, No

“If you care about what’s happening in the world, you have to care about running for and holding elected office. I hope it’s a question that we ask ourselves,” Clinton said.

I Had Hoped it Would Break the Other Way

Cesar Altier Sayoc, 56, was taken into custody on Friday morning in Plantation, Florida in connection with the 14 suspicious packages that have been discovered this week.  He has other prior convictions on felony charges including grand theft and drug possession with intent to distribute, but has never served prison time.  Perhaps an earlier ‘intervention’ in his troubled life would have prevented this.

Sayoc was tied to the bomb spree through a fingerprint.  FBI Director Chris Wray said that investigators recovered DNA from two other packages, which they linked to a sample taken from Sayoc in one of his many prior arrests.

Sayoc was convicted of a threat to ‘throw, place, project or discharge any destructive device’ in 2002 in Dade County, Florida, after he threatened to blow up a utility company over a customer service complaint.

Her Own Dog-Whistle

Waters primer on how the opposition party should respond to losing an election:  “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd,” she said. “And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

Those unhinged remarks got plenty of airtime, and earned Waters the rebuke of Democratic congressional leaders. But it wasn’t the most inane thing she said. Apparently urging mobs to gather outside Republicans’ homes at night, she added, “We’re saying, ‘No peace, no sleep! No peace, no sleep!’” If it occurred to any listener that forced sleep deprivation is a war crime, Waters wasn’t worried: “God is on our side,” she assured the crowd.

Looking Back

A long dark period in the nations history ended a little less than two years ago.  I’m still embarrassed when I look back at that period and at the idiot that held himself out as the symbol of strength and freedom.  Can you imagine what the world would think of us now if we had elected that stumbling drunk Hillary?  When/if you pray, thank God that we dodged that train wreck.   This November is just as important as that one two years ago.  Vote !

Our Moral Compass

ChelseaHandler instagram

After apologizing for her own white/Jewish/female privilege last week, the joke that is Chelsea Handler now attacks the GOP for their “white Christian male spite”.  I guess that she has self nominated herself as the moral compass of the nation. Her critique rails against all things I, in my obviously misguided state, have cheered.  She’s obviously fighting her own demons.  I wish her well, but not success.  She says: 

“Our nation is a republic, supposedly democratic in nature, but the 2018 reality resembles a wholly undemocratic farce, replete with our Professional-Wrestler-In-Chief, his crooked Russian-Republican Duma, his rigged Republican Frat Boy Supreme Court, and a nationwide network of vote suppressors and vote riggers and oligarchic donors and bribers doing their seditious best to once again subvert democracy in the name of right-wing tyranny.”

The full story and much more blather from this loon at Breitbart along with a tremendous number of great comments/critiques.   

Discovering the Tooth Fairy is Fake

The Week has an excellent article on the probable outcome and impact of the Mueller investigation.  It begins with:  “Perhaps the best argument I have seen in favor of repealing President Trump’s pointless tax cuts is the superabundance of disposable income American liberals apparently spend on things like Robert Mueller bobble-head dolls, “Mueller is Coming” and “It’s Mueller time” T-shirts, Mueller “prayer” candles, and even children’s books featuring a super-buff bare-chested but tie-wearing Mueller lookalike hero. Turning the affectless head of a special counsel investigation into some kind of badass comic-book character who is going to rescue America from the nefarious clutches of — I wish I were making this up — “President Ronald Plump” could not be more childish. Goodness knows how many adults really believe all this stuff.”

Matthew Walther continues with “I feel bad for them, in the way that I feel bad for kids who are about to discover that the Tooth Fairy is fake.”

Astroturf: Paid Protesting is a Big Business

Crowds on Demand, a Beverly Hills company that’s an outspoken player in the business of hiring protesters, boasts on its website that it provides its clients with “protests, rallies, flash-mobs, paparazzi events and other inventive PR stunts. … We provide everything including the people, the materials and even the ideas.”

But according to a lawsuit filed by a Czech investor, Crowds on Demand also takes on more sordid assignments. Zdenek Bakala claims the company has been used to run an extortion campaign against him.

Bakala has accused Prague investment manager Pavol Krupa of hiring Crowds on Demand to pay protesters to march near his home in Hilton Head, S.C., and to call and send emails to the Aspen Institute and Dartmouth College, where Bakala is on advisory boards, urging them to cut ties to him. Bakala alleges that Krupa has threatened to continue and expand the campaign unless Bakala pays him $23 million.

So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance

Clinton, despite her enormous flaws and two presidential defeats, can’t be ruled out as the party’s best hope for 2020. God knows she wants it more than anybody else.

She is keeping her options open and might actually seek a rematch with Trump. 

Her madness reminds me of this:

She and Bill Clinton have announced their six-month speaking tour. The gambit is designed to keep her name front and center without having to declare herself a candidate. Her recent phone calls to White House reporters also signal her plan.

The official word is that attempts to silence her are doomed. Brace yourself — she’s baaaack!

Data Point: New York Slimes

The talk of a blue wave has been in our face for almost a year now.  It may be instructional to pause for a moment and look at the track record of those that would have us believe that ‘resistance if futile’.  Take heart brothers and sisters.  Vote this November and take a friend with you.

An Inconvenient Truth

Adam Schiff lit into Congressman Tom MacArthur over some words he had for his Korean-American opponent.  Schiff fired one of those ‘thou art racist’ cheep shots at MacArthur.  Only one small problem; MacArthur is the adoptive father of two South Korean girls.

MacArthur’s response:  “Adam Schiff thinks he’ll get power by stoking fear, division and anger in this country,” MacArthur told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “His absurd and false tweet that I made a racist comment about my Korean-American opponent overlooks one sort of obvious and for him, rather inconvenient, truth. I’m the father of two children whom Debbie and I adopted from South Korea as babies. I am now the proud ‘Papa’ of my first Korean-American granddaughter.”

Power

We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end.

Buying Votes Ahead of 2020

Kamala Harris

American families making less than $100,000 a year could be eligible for a monthly tax credit of up to $500, or $6,000 a year, under new legislation announced Thursday by Democratic U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris of California.

Individuals making less than $50,000 would be eligible for up to $250 a month, $3,000 a year.

“Americans are working harder than ever but stagnant wages mean they can’t keep up with cost of living increases,” Harris, a likely presidential candidate in 2020, said in a statement.

Harris’ office cited a 2017 survey from the website Bankrate.com that found more than half of Americans cannot afford a $500 unexpected expense, such as a rent increase, medical bill or child care.

Trumpaganda

The University of Illinois-Champaign supplies us with an especially revealing illustration of the politicization of education.  Beginning on October 22, the school will roll out its new journalism course:

The course description purports to explore “the Trump administration’s disinformation campaign” and “its ‘running war’ with the mainstream news media,” as well as “their implications for American democracy and a free press.”

Not to be undone, San Diego State University now offers a one-credit course which focuses on removing Trump from office.

The Front Page Magazine is monitoring this madness.

Ole Miss Professor is Woke

A professor at the University of Mississippi has called on people to desecrate the meals of Republicans by “sticking” their hands in their food and stealing the rest of it because they don’t deserve “civility.”

“Don’t just interrupt a senator’s meal, y’all. Put your whole damn fingers in their salads. Take their apps and distribute them to the other diners. Bring boxes and take their food home with you on the way out. They don’t deserve your civility,” James Thomas, an Assistant Professor at Ole Miss, tweeted Oct. 6, the day Justice Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court.

The National Sentinel is carrying the full story.

Shocked

Snatched from the DB Daily Update.

The Texas Democrat Party has allegedly been sending out voter registration cards to illegal immigrants with the citizenship box already checked “yes”, according to multiple complaints filed with the Texas Secretary of State’s office.

Even better, according to the report in the Washington Times, “The applications were pre-addressed to elections officials, which is likely what left many voters to believe they were receiving an official communication from the state.  But the return address was from the State Democratic Executive Committee, and listed an address in Austin that matches the state Democratic Party’s headquarters.”

Anyone who thinks this is anything unusual in Texas has never lived in Texas.  Were it not for this kind of Democrat-organized voter fraud effort, Lyndon Johnson would have never been anything more than a teacher at some backwater school in the Texas Hill Country.

Revolution’s Logic

Snipped from The American Mind.  Another ‘buckle up’ warning.  Full article here

‘Regardless of these elections’ outcome, however, this “resistance” has strengthened and accelerated the existing revolutionary spiral. We begin with a primer on such spirals, on the logic of mutual hate that drives them, and on their consequences; move to a general description of our evolution’s driving logic, describe the 2016 elections as the revolutionary spiral’s first turn and the “resistance” thereto as the second. Then we examine how the “resistance” affects the other side, and how this logic might drive our revolution’s subsequent turns.’

Foam Flecked Lips

A great read found at American Greatness, snippet below:

Since November 2016, when Donald Trump was elected president, the American Left has been engaged in one long crackup—a juvenile tantrum of epic proportions marked by hideous screams, rolling eyes, copious tears, foam-flecked lips, and flailing fists and feet that finally allows us to see them for what they really are: a giant 2-year-old in the midst of a frustrated, impotent meltdown.

Indeed, the entire leftist freak show has been on display throughout this remarkable period of American history. Physically, many of the tattooed, body-pierced, bewhiskered, rainbow-haired multitudes resemble something out of a Ray Bradbury novel: The Illustrated Man, perhaps, or Something Wicked This Way Comes. Others recall in aspect the pod people of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” or the mindless robots of “The Stepford Wives”; still others, well into midlife, ape the style and substance of aging Valley Girls, or the nonjudgmental stoop-shouldered, hollow-chested hipsters currently identifying as non-toxically masculine. Prizing witticism over wit, credentials over education, and facile point-scoring over genuine argument, they bring to mind, intellectually, the dissipated poets of the late Roman Empire, fiddling with strophes and meter while the barbarians crash through the gates and burn the place to the ground.

Gingrich’s Two Things

I think two words are going to define the night of the 2018 election in the next three weeks. One is ‘Kavanaugh’ and the other is ‘caravan’.

And the combination of anger over how the left smeared, engaged in character assassination, lied, used bullying tactics with Judge Kavanaugh is going to be one part of this; and the degree to which the left is eager to have 3,000 people in a caravan cross the American border, break American law, recognizing that if that happens, the next caravan will be bigger; and the next caravan after that will be even bigger.

And I think the American people are going to reject both the way they treated Kavanaugh and the way they are dealing with the border. And I think those will end up being the reasons the Republicans keep the House and dramatically increase the number of senators they have.

Dimming the Lights on the Clintons

From the Daily Beast:  We’re three weeks out from the 2018 midterm election, and Hillary Clinton is popping up again like a Halloween ghoul who keeps rising from the grave to terrorize the American public; only this time accompanied by the increasingly #MeToo burdened uber-villain, Bubba.

The Clintons, it seems, can’t seem to call it quits, even if it means leaving members of their own party cringing and many more voters ready to “headdesk” themselves into a coma.  Full story at The Daily Beast
