As we have seen in the few years of the Trump Presidency, the left wing mob has been the driver and shaker of Democratic policies. While polling shows that issues such as sanctuary status is a vast negative amongst the general public, the Democrats have adopted that policy due to the protestations of the “mob”. Other policies have followed such as releasing illegals who have committed crimes, turning our urban centers into toilets and drug dens, providing free health care for those here illegally, etc.

Other phenomena have been born and raised under the tutelage of the mob-rule left. They include shouting down conservative speakers, accosting those with other views and forcing them to leave the public square and denying other points of view under the guise of “limiting hate speech”. All policies policed by the actions of the liberal mob.

And now we have impeachment. The liberal “mob” demands it. There has been no evidentiary proof submitted. There has been no first hand account of any crime being committed. There has been no victim identified. In a court of law, the case would never have been filed let alone tried under the rules of evidence. Yet, we see the process move forward – the liberal “Mob” demands it!

About 2,000 years ago, the governor of Judea stood before such a mob. That mob, like the one we see today, had been lied to by their elitist church leaders. The church leaders saw a poor prophet as a threat to their position – something had to be done. The prophet was then falsely accused of calling himself the “King of the Jews” and inferring that he was the Son of God. “Heretic” the power hungry leaders of the Church cried, whipping the mob into an emotional frenzy.

The prophet stood next to the thief as the Governor of Judea promised to set free whomever the angry mob chose. “Crucify Him” shrieked the mob when the prophet was brought forth. “Set him free” was the decision when the thief was presented.

The events of the last month are in no way comparable to the events of that day almost 2,000 years ago. But it is consistent of the outcome when the mob controls the process and wiser men are absent from the process. Am I saying Trump is akin to Jesus and Biden to Barabbas? No, I am not. Yet, the process has been the same – Trump being publicly crucified by the left and Biden being exempted from scrutiny seems to be a parallel that is unmistakable.

The drumbeat now emanating from the left is a claim that there is a “Cult of Trump”. The paranoid left believes that Trump’s positions are so unreasonable that only members of a “cult” could believe in them. Thus, a window into the arrogance and elitism of the left.

The REAL cult is that of “Anti-Trump”. Let’s look at some irrational, “cultish” positions that these elitists believe in…

NANCY PELOSI IS DOING THIS FOR IDEALISTIC REASONS – Yes, Nancy says that politics are not involved in this process. This belies the elephant in the room – the timeline of the process. Why would the Democrats being doing this at light speed if not for the political calendar? Why would the process be so skewed as to wrest any defense from the Trump side? All such actions say that only one factor is in play – POLITICS!

In addition, the English language is shunted off to the side when looking at the “evidence”. The key phrase in dispute is a request to “Do US a favor…” which has been twisted into a “demand” to dig up dirt on a political opponent. Huh?

Finally, we saw the three legal “scholars” testify as to why Trump needs to be impeached. Interestingly enough, each of these “scholars” used “evidence” that a first year law student knows would not be admissible in court. The witnesses in the Intelligence hearing continually referred to “I heard from this person..” or “I presumed that..” when testifying. That, of course, is hearsay and/or third person accounts that any defense attorney would have thrown out. Yet, these legal “scholars” based their determination that Trump should be impeached on testimony that would never see the light of day on a courtroom.

You can only ascribe this complete loss of mental acuity to being a member of a “cult” – the cult of “Anti-Trump”.

We hear Elizabeth Warren regurgitating that famous Barack Obama line “You didn’t make that!” when speaking about business owners. They harangue us with some pap about roads, bridges, schools, internet development, etc. that they ascribe to the taxpayers of America. The mere fact that these business owners pay substantially more taxes than wage earners – and thus paid more for those roads and schools than others – is lost in the “Workers of the World Unite” rhetoric.

But I keep thinking about another group of people pampered by the left – ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. The left wants to provide these people who have broken our immigration laws with free health care, free education for their kids, etc. These illegal immigrants get to drive on our roads, cross our bridges and have their children go to our schools – assets built by funding from lifelong American taxpayers and without a cent of contribution from people who just crossed our borders illegally.

Funny, isn’t it, that people who provide the public coffers with almost all their funding, provide millions upon millions of Americans with jobs and provide the innovation to make our lives better from generation to generation are denigrated while people who actually abuse the system by utilizing assets THEY DID NOT PAY FOR – are protected and coddled.

Could it be that these coddled masses are the “farm team” that results in power at the ballot box in future elections? Nah, that would be cynical

Let us suppose the House of Representatives votes for impeachment and the process moves to the Senate. From my understanding, this is an actual trial. The impaneled “jury” would be the sitting Senators – all 100 of them.

Now, let’s look at the witnesses. They are the same lot that testified in front of the so-called “Intelligence” Committee under the chairmanship of Adam Schiff. A simple question is in play. If they only have second and third hand accounts coupled with “presumptions”, “assumptions” and “conclusions”, the attorney for the President would only need to object to such “hearsay” and get whatever muck these rakers are trying to get into the record disallowed.

Now, if each and every one of these “witnesses” have their “hearsay” disallowed, there would be an interesting situation. Chief Justice Roberts, when charging the jury made up of Senators, would certainly tell them that they could only consider evidence properly presented. They would be admonished to not consider anything inadmissable and struck down by the court in coming up with a verdict.

Thus, with no actual evidence, the Senators would be compelled to vote “Not Guilty”…..or would they?

Considering that the vast majority of these Seantors are actual attorneys, you would surmise they would follow the charging instructions of Chief Roberts. But they are also politicians – and they will lie/distort when it suits their purposes. Watch CNN or MSNBC any day and you will see “legal experts” regaling us with the idea that these witnesses are putting forth powerful “evidence” – all the while knowing such garbage will never see the inside of a courtroom. These Democrat Senators are cut from the same cloth – they will vote to convict based on NOTHING – and in the process bastardize our system of justice………..

………..And they will do so in the name of trying to obtain political power. Shameful.

Alyssa Milano recently wrote a piece for CNN which started out with these words:

“If professor Christine Blasey Ford is to be believed, and I believe she is, Brett Kavanaugh is a sexual predator.”

Note that Milano did  not say she KNOWS Brett Kavanaugh is a sexual predator, she makes that assessment based on the accusation of another person. Yet, despite the fact that she does not KNOW that Kavanaugh has committed these acts, Milano has no problem going on liberal cable outlet after liberal cable outlet calling Kavanaugh a sexual predator as if it is FACT – which it is not.

Now , in the last few days, we have seen cracks in the veneer of the Blasey-Ford story. Afraid to fly? She has more frequent flier miles than about 90% of Americans. Two doors on her house for protection? Turns out they were installed to create a rent-producing domicile. Never gave tips to persons about to take a polygraph? Oops, that turns out to be false also. Those recent revelations are heaped upon the inconsistencies in her initial claims: there were four people then two, NOBODY she claims to have been at the party remembers being at the party, she never told her therapist the name of the assailant, etc.

Yet, when faced with the continuing flow of inconsistencies, Milano will righteously stick to her “Belief” that Blasey-Ford is completely credible and that Kavanaugh is guilty. At this point, you have to examine the irrational clinging to that devotional…and the answer is quite obvious:

BLASEY-FORD IS A WOMAN.

Period. End of story.

As an early advocate of the #MeToo movement, Milano has a lot invested in standing behind EVERY woman’s claim – regardless of how shaky. The “movement” is based on a central premise:

WOMEN ARE TO BELIEVED, MEN ARE NOT TO BELIEVED

For Milano to abandon Blasey-Ford at any point in time would cast a serious blow to the movement and cast Milano as a traitor. The real problem here is that there is another side to this slurring of a non-convicted person….

His family.

Milano has made passionate please for the children of illegal immigrants – reporting poor treatment and abuse. Yet, one it comes to the children of Bret Kavanaugh, the compassion ends at the ideological door. These children must subjected to psychological terror and/or be destroyed if need be, to further the cause of the “movement”. (Never mind the blocking of a Supreme Court justice who might not rule as the liberal left desires which was the goal of releasing these unsubstantiated slurs)).

What does this mean?

Milano has made certain choices in this world. Women tell the truth, Men don’t. Children of illegals are precious, children of conservatives are disposable. Due process is for who the left says it is for – those outside the ring of faith are to be publicly slandered until the left reaches it’s objectives.

But life is a circle – “what goes around comes around”. Milano has a young son who, hopefully, will grow into a fine young man. What will Alyssa do if, at the age of 25 or 30, and ex-girlfriend or casual acquaintance accused her son of sexual abuse?  Will she reflexively cast her son as a sexual predator as she has in this case? Will she refuse to hear the pleas of innocence from her child? Or will an epiphany of thought overcome her as she sees the errors of her ways?

I don’t know…do you, Alyssa?

 

Page One of the Democratic National Committee playbook is titled “Let’s do it Ourselves and Say They’re Doing It!” No greater example could be the faux claim that Donald Trump is the cause of all this “division” and the amping up of heated rhetoric.

Yeah, right.

First, we hear Democrats claiming that Trump endorsed the Ku Klux Klan – as if the Klan just sprang up under the tutelage of Trump. The real fact is the Klan started over a hundred years ago in Pulaski, TN and their membership was almost completely made up of Democrats. Thus, the despicable hatred of the Klan can, in no way, be laid at Donald Trump’s feet. And if you read ANY of his remarks regarding the events surrounding Charlottesville, Trump NEVER endorsed nor condoned the actions of the Klan.

But let’s look at where this rhetoric originated.

About twenty years ago, the Democratic Party took a decided turn for the worse. They decided to go “all in” on identity politics – the demonization of those outside the demographic circle if you dared criticize someone inside the demographic  circle. That new attack philosophy generated some of the most hateful rhetoric possible. For example, Rep. Louis Slaughter stood on the steps of the Capital and claimed Republicans were trying to “kill women”. Harry Reid stood in the well of the Senate and viciously attacked those not voting for a health bill by saying Republicans wanted to withhold cancer treatment for women. Rep. Andre Cason claimed Republicans wanted “blacks hanging from trees” and Maxine Waters called John Boehner and Eric Cantor “Devils”. Let’s not forget the myriad of Representatives who claimed Republicans wanted to starve children when they balked at massive increases in food stamps.

And, of course, the most intense political tagline ever utilized: “Republicans are waging a WAR on WOMEN!”

What is more definitive is that EVERY EXAMPLE above is directly tied to an ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE of the Democratic Party….not a pundit or talking head on cable news, but someone actually ELECTED by Democrats.

Now, each and every example cited above happened well before Donald Trump ever decided to run for President. In 2008 the Republicans nominated the honorable John McCain to run for President. He was unwilling to fight back when the left started attacking him. The same scenario played out in 2012 when the gentile Mitt Romney ran for office. The Obama campaign sank so low as to claim Romney intentionally caused cancer in some workers at a firm in which he held an equity position. Good ‘ole Mitt refused to fight back.

After numerous election cycles of this abusive language, the electorate of the Republican Party woke up and decided to let a “street fighter” named Trump carry their message….and the Democrats never knew what hit them.

It is now obvious that the Democratic Party cannot stand the heat they drove into the kitchen. Cries of horrible language, division (the foundation of identity politics, no less)  and claims that Trumps is the progenitor of attack politics abound – but we know the truth:

DEMOCRATS – YOU STARTED IT!

The drumbeat from the left is unmistakable…….FREE Education….FREE Medicare for all……FREE ______________(Fill in the blank). It’s as if a Utopian world is about to be unleashed and the COST of these goodies will disappear in a puff of smoke and we will all benefit.

Not true.

A great example is Education. Today, there are approximately 20 MILLION students matriculating to either a private or public university/college. Let’s do some simple math and allocate $15,000 a year to tuition alone (the average between in-state and out-of-state tuition). That would pencil out to a total cost of about $300,000,000,000 a year in tuition costs alone! Let’s be real – THE COSTS THESE TUITION DOLLARS COVER AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE!

But what will the Socialists do to make up that $300,000,000,000?

Why raise taxes, of course!

First, they will tell you that we can get that money by “raising taxes on the rich”. That, again, is a lie. You could tax every person making over $200K by an additional 20-30% and not gather that much revenue – and you would wreck our economy at the same time.  So there remains just two ways to raise that amount of yearly cash – and neither is very pleasant:

A National Sales Tax and/or Added Payroll Deductions.

Let us be very clear – if either is implemented that means one thing – YOU WILL BE PAYING FOR COLLEGE AND YOU WILL BE PAYING – FOREVER! Yes, you will not have a student loan  – which after you pay it off you’re done with it – but you will be paying these taxes each and every day for the rest of your adult life. But it doesn’t stop there! For you wonderful people who have had the grit and determination to make your way in the world without having that sheepskin in your back pocket, you will have the joy of paying for other’s higher education –  for the rest of your life! That’s right, you who have made your own way get to pay those payroll taxes and/or sales taxes to allow OTHERS to go to college! Whooopppeee!

Another “bait-and-switch” of the far, far left that has become the new home for the Democratic Party. They claim this is now becoming “Mainstream” thought, yet,  I wonder who on “Main Street” likes this idea……

The outrage that has been “Trumpeted” by the left concerns the “outrageous” process of “ripping children from their mother’s arms” and putting them in separation facilities. My first thought is that whenever you hear super-heated rhetoric like “ripping children…” there is an alternative motive in play. That characterization is meant to knock you off kilter and put you at the mercy of the person making the charge….discussion over – either you agree with the left or you are a racist.! Typical and well beaten path for liberal attacks.

But let’s look a little deeper into this situation. For example, there are hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. who are “separated” from their parents. We do this each and every day – and not for criminal reasons. Classic example – a small child in a schoolroom talks about how his/her parents got high on drugs in their home. What is the first reaction of the teacher? A call to Children’s Services and the removal of the child from the home pending an “investigation”. And who advocates this process to “protect the children”? Why, the left of course.

Yet, there is a far greater untold story….one that is so distressing that you NEVER see it on the liberal outlets. That is the very fact that these children who are being hauled through the desert on their way to the U.S. border have an incredibly high prospect of being sexually abused and/or sold into sex trafficking rings.  In fact, the policies of the left put far more children into the hands of these predators – meaning a far greater number of children being exploited by these monsters. Even the Washington Post reported that the policies of the Obama Administration swelled the number of those people trying to cross into the U.S. And, if you think that these illegal immigrants don’t know what lies ahead, google “illegal immigrants take birth control before journey”. The resultant search information will make your skin crawl. Do the liberals care that they are putting tens or hundreds of thousands of more children at risk? The question is never asked……

And there is another side to this situation. What happens after these illegals get across the border? An estimated three million live in Los Angeles County alone. The great majority of them live in conditions best described as “squalor”. Yet, where are the activists who got them across the border? They are far, far away as ten illegals live in a one bedroom, one bath apartment and go to work washing dishes in a restaurant for minimum wage or sew in a factory for $3/hour.

The reality of the situation is this: These activists don’t give a damn what happens to these people a mile south of the border and they don’t care what happens to them a couple of miles after they get across the border.

The right says this is a strategy by the left to use these illegals as a “farm team” to produce children and future Democratic voters. There is some truth to that thought process as we saw a leaked e-mail from Jennifer Palmieri calling the legalization of illegal immigrants “key to the future of our electoral success”. Don’t think that Democratic strategists have demographic tables estimating the number of children being born in the U.S. to these illegal immigrants who will be of voting age in eighteen years?  THEY CERTAINLY DO!

My thought – anything that can be used to facilitate “White Guilt” falls right out of the playbook of the liberal, Alinsky left. In the future, if a liberal confronts you about illegal immigration policy, ask them why they don’t care about what happens to these kids in the desert……..and watch the reaction.

Silence.

We are hearing a lot about “un-civil” discourse in our society. The images of Maxine Waters calling for the harassment of Trump administration officials coupled with the expulsion of two Administration officials from restaurants has caused a great amount of conversation.

And, inevitably, the left has blamed Donald J. Trump.

But how did we get here? How did we get a volatile, aggressive bomb-thrower like Trump to win the last election? The answer is simple…..

We, as Conservatives, decided to “fight fire with fire” and put our own bomb-thrower into the arena. For years, the liberal left has smeared the pinata-like nominees for higher office presented by the Republican Party. For years we have heard Republican nominees characterized as “racists”, “bigots” and “misogynists”. We have heard baseless accusations of Republicans wanting to kill women, hang blacks from trees and cause children to starve in the streets. Those accusations did not come from pundits or talking heads on cable television…they came from actual elected representatives of the Democratic Party. And after eight intense years of race-baiting from the Obama-ites, the conservative right was ready to hitch their wagon to someone who would fight back and take no prisoners. The person we looked for would respond to a shovel full of dirt by backing up the truck and dumping a load of filth on the other side.

Frankly, nobody else on the Republican side would have been able to beat Hillary Clinton. The rest of the “politicians” would have followed the same path of denying the claims and responding in highly political language. We were looking for the “street fighter” who would go toe-to-toe with the bomb-throwers.

In Donald Trump, we found our man…and the left abhors being the recipient of the slurs, snarky accusations and belittling comments foisted on them by a person who never backs down.

Nice to be on the other side for once!

 

The above is the most important question of our time.

We see a huge swath of America – the “fly-over country” as it is known – that supports the bombastic, less-than-political resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. This current President has propelled the markets to record highs, empowered businesses to expand and hire more workers, allowed businesses that were on the cusp of going under keep the doors open (and saving those hundreds of thousands of jobs), lit the fuse of increasing wages and cut thousands of needless regulations from the Federal Register of Regulations. Water is NOT dirtier….air is just as clean as it was before the current resident. Add the tackling of the major security issues of the day – NoKo and ISIS – and you have a man of achievement.

We also see a deep, blue streak along both oceans of strident opposition to the current resident of the White House. These denizens look to the more ethereal values as the measuring stick of acceptance. They value the emotional values of being “liked” and exuding a countenance of being “cool” and “hip” and other red carpet values. For the eight years of the last resident of the White House, we saw stagnant wages, the lowest labor participation rate in history, the majority of new jobs being part-time, foreign powers boldly blowing past our “red lines” and terrorism metastasizing around the globe. The urban elites, however, believe this incompetent President was the “be-all, end-all” who embodied all of the virtues they adore. Of course, these elitists live in a “Facebook” society where the measure of a person is how many “likes” and “followers” they have amassed – not what they have accomplished in life.

And that is the basic choice:

Do you want a person who will ruffle a few feathers but produce benefits for millions of Americans – making their lives better and providing a future for our children?

Or do you prefer the posing, incompetent who mortgages the future to implement policies glorifying non-achievement through give-aways to those who don’t work, runs from confrontation and leaves the heavy lifting (North Korea: Would any true “Leader” slink out of the White House while informing the next administration their most pressing issue is NoKo nukes – an issue he deliberately avoided) for those that follow?

The answer seems obvious.
