Real sexism; the Olympics allowing men to compete in women's events

Bowing to the patriarchy which has declared that there's nothing special about being a woman so that a man can become a woman by just saying so the Olympic committee is going to allow men, even men who haven't had "gender reassignment surgery", to compete in women's events.

Given that biology gives men an advantage--they have bigger hearts, bigger muscles, etc--allowing biological men to compete with women pretty much ensures that women won't win any Olympic events that depend on strength or speed.

What could be more sexist than demanding that men win women's sporting events?

Just one more example of both the insanity of the modern left and their hatred of women.

Beef for my staff but not for you

Democrat Ocasio-Cortez often demonstrates a lack of common sense; for example not realizing that promising taxpayer dollars to ensure economic security for able bodied people who could work but who are unwilling to work would anger most taxpayers.

Her most recent problem is that right after she tells Americans to eat less beef she thinks it's "creepy" that someone took a picture of her chief of staff eating a big hamburger.

Now if she hadn't commented about beef then someone taking a picture of her eating could be considered creepy but given that she's cool with Republicans being literally driven out of restaurants by leftists it's a bit hard to muster any sympathy with conservatives taking pictures of her.

But given that she has a big beef with beef which she's announced to the whole world her complaining about someone documenting her hypocrisy is clearly all about not wanting to be caught living the same double standard that says that it's ok that "green" celebrities and politicians generate huge amounts of CO2 with private planes and palatial homes.


Why polls may all be bogus

According to Pew only 6% of the people they call to ask survey questions of respond; that's down from 36% in 1997 and around 18% in 2008.

While Pew contends that low response rates don't impact the accuracy of polls it's unclear if that's really true.

Clearly with such a low response rate people who do engage are probably different than people who don't.  Now they may reflect vote tally's since both voting and responding to polls show a significant interest in participation but they could be way off the mark when asking questions about non-voting issues like abortion, same-sex marriage etc.

Part of the problem may be that Democrats are weaponizing society so that if someone says that they like Trump they will face punishments ranging from people refusing to talk to them to people boycotting their business.  Hence it's not unlikely that not only are the people who are willing to respond more engaged than non-respondents but they may be more leftist.

That's why when you see a poll that is supposedly showing that the American people are supporting a radical Democrat agenda you should take it with a grain of salt.

Stupidity about the NK summit walk out

In order to get North Korea to give up nuclear weapons we're going to have to convince them that the alternative is truly horrifying from their perspective.

The mushy give in diplomacy of Obama, Clinton, and Bush made it clear to the North Korean dictatorships that there was a chance of getting a great deal; in fact Clinton gave them a great deal.

By walking out Trump showed Kim that America is willing to denuclearize North Korea the hard way, through more and more economic pressure, which will incentivize Kim to accept denuclearization as the lesser of two evils.

What's truly amazing is that all the same voices who declared that Trump was being too nice to Kim are now condemning Trump for being to hard on Kim.

The simple reality is that those voices, on the left and right, are basically more concerned about trashing Trump than they are about successfully denuclearizing North Korea.

Democrat says respecting Blacks is racist

Main stream Democrat Tlaib declared that it's racist to point out that Black people like Trump for his success at dramatically reducing Black unemployment.

That's because Democrats are deathly afraid that Black people, desire the poor education they get in Democrat run cities, will realize that while Democrats talk about caring about Blacks they really are racist to the core and that it's Republicans who deliver a better life for Blacks because Republicans care about Blacks.

Republican Congressman Meadows had brought Lynne Patton, a Black associate of Trump's, to the Cohen hearing to make the point that Blacks who work with Trump don't believe Trump to be racist.  He did so to counter the lying Cohen 2.0's testimony that Trump was racist.

But that offended Tlaib who said:

"Just because someone has a person of color, a black person, working for them does not mean they aren't racist and...the fact someone would actually use a prop, a black woman in this chamber, in this committee, is alone racist in itself."

So defending Trump against false charges of racism by having a Black woman give silent witness to her support for Trump is racist?  Essentially what Tlaib is saying is that a Black woman can't express support for Trump which itself is an amazingly racist statement.

Tlaib is saying that Democrats can define what Blacks can and can't say and do; now that's an amazingly racist outlook on life but it's one that's completely consistent with Democrat's beliefs.

Look at how Democrats talk about Blacks who dare escape from the Democrat constructed ideological plantation and express views that Democrats don't like.  Blacks who don't toe the Democrat line--Justice Thomas, Candice Owens, Ben Carson, Kanye, etc-- are vilified and even told by white Democrats that they're not really Black.

The reality is that Tlaib could have said that the opinion of one Black isn't enough to prove that Trump isn't racist but instead she declared that it's racist for Black people to dissent from the Democrat's talking points.

#FakeNews media all in for killing born babies

You may not know that all but 3 Democrats in the Senate voted against a bill that would require medical care for babies who are born alive.

To be clear the vast majority of Senate Democrats, and every Senate Democrat including Sanders who is running for President, voted to allow born alive babies who are no longer in their mothers womb to be killed.

The reason you may not know is that the big players in the  #FakeNews media didn't report on it.  CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and ABC were silent about the Democrats taking a principled stand for infanticide.

Some #FakeNews media did report the story but lied about it claiming that a bill that is only about babies who are fully born, completely viable, and totally outside their mothers is somehow anti-abortion.

Some other #FakeNews media reported on the story as an example of how conservatives "pounced" on Democrats for announcing their support of killing born babies.

Bottom line the Democrats are trying to get away with supporting the killing of viable born babies by having their stooges in the #FakeNews media bury the story.

Washington Post says leftist beating up conservative on campus not news

Over a week ago a leftist assaulted a conservative on Berkley's campus.  To their credit the school immediately condemned the action.  Apparently the WaPo didn't think that the use of violence to silence political speech on campus was newsworthy, unlike the Jussie Smollett hoax, so they didn't bother to cover it until this week.

When they did cover it however they didn't consider the assault to be newsworthy. What was newsworthy in the mind of the leftists in the #FakeNews media was the fact that conservatives were upset that no arrest had been made in over a week even though the entire incident was captured by a video.

To clarify by the WaPo standards:

A leftists physically assaulting a conservative on a college campus because of his conservatives beliefs is not news.

Being upset that a conservative college student was assaulted by a leftists on a college campus because of his political beliefs is news.

It would appear that the WaPo is saying that leftists physically assaulting conservatives is so common it's not newsworthy and that being upset about the use of violence to silence speech is so weird it is newsworthy

Keep in mind that the WaPo's new motto "Democracy dies in darkness" is a mission statement.  The WaPo is working hard to keep the truth from the people and when it does leak out spin it to make conservatives the villains.

Cohen 2.0, WikiLeaks, and the value of calendars

While Cohen 2.0 has admitted to Congress today, when he wasn't lying, that he had no evidence that Trump colluded the Democrats are making a big deal out of the fact that Cohen 2.0--the new shiny ultra reliable Trump hating Cohen--said that Roger Stone new in advance that WikiLeaks was going to release the DNC emails that showed that the DNC was illegally conspiring against the Bernie Sanders campaign.

Since, supposedly, those emails had been hacked by the Russians--though given that the US IC and FBI never actually examined the hacked computers it's hard to know how they could know it was the Russians--that is showing that Trump is secretly Stalin's great grandson and a traitor.

The problem is that during the hearings Cohen 2.0 was asked when he'd heard that Wikileaks was going to reveal the emails.  His response was:

"I believe it was either the 18th or the 19th and I would ask that it would be on the 19th."

When asked if he was sure that it was in July Cohen confirmed it was.

But then it was pointed out that Julian Assange, the man behind WikiLeaks, told the press on June 12 that those emails would be leaked.

So according to Cohen when Trump's team supposedly learned about the fact that WikiLeaks was going to leak the DNC  emails the fact that the emails were going to be leaked had been public knowledge for over a month.

Hence it's obvious that there was no collusion since if Trump and the Russians had been colluding Trump's team would have known about the emails before Assange made a public proclamation.

Interestingly even if the chronology wasn't proof enough the fact that Roger Stone was trying to find out what WikiLeaks had isn't collusion; everyone in DC was trying to find out what Assange had for obvious reasons. The DNC wanted to know because they knew that it was possible that Assange would expose the DNC conspiracy to violate DNC rules to ensure that Hillary got the nomination.  Trump wanted to know because he's smart enough to realize that if Assange was making a big deal about the emails they had to contain stuff that would damage the DNC.

But trying to find out what the emails contained shows that Trump wasn't colluding with Russia. If Trump were colluding then he'd already have known and there would have been no reason for Roger Stone to be trying to find out.

Cohen 2.0 lies to Congress

Democrats told us that Michael Cohen, former lawyer for Trump, was a lying weasel.

However due to the magic that only Democrats have Democrats are saying that Cohen 2.0--the Trump hating edition--is a saint who would never ever lie.

Interestingly the day of his testimony to Congress isn't even over yet and we know that Cohen 2.0 lied to Congress today.

When questioned about wanting to get a job in the Trump administration Cohen said:

“No, sir. No, sir. I didn’t want to go to work for the administration. I had no desire to work for the administration! I wanted more independence than that.”

Eric Trump and Trump Jr. both said that was a lie; that it was almost a standing joke during the transition how badly Cohen wanted a big job on the Trump team.

Of course Democrats will tell us that while we can believe Cohen even though he's admitted to lying to Congress in the past we can't possibly trust Trumps.

Fortunately we don't have to.  Rush Limbaugh dug out this quote from the Southern District of New York's sentencing report for Michael Cohen:

“During and after the campaign Cohen told friends and colleagues, including in seized text messages, that he expected to be given a prominent role and title in the administration.” 

So no need to trust the Trumps.  There is clear unequivocal proof that today Cohen 2.0 whom Democrats are saying we can trust because Cohen 2.0 hates Trump lied to Congress.

Cohen testimony proves that Trump didn't collude with Russia

So far Cohen has explicitly stated that he has no proof that Trump colluded with the Russians nor did he hear anything that would show that Trump was colluding with Russia.

In fact his testimony, if true, proves that Trump wasn't colluding with Russia.

His big claim that Trump knew in advance about the release of the DNC emails that showed that the DNC was violating it's own rules in order to keep Bernie Sanders from being the nominee is based on the fact that Roger Stone had been talking to WikiLeaks.

First if Stone was talking to WikiLeaks and that's how Trump knew in advance that the emails were coming out it proves that Trump wasn't colluding with Russia since if he were colluding with Russia he wouldn't need to talk to WikiLeaks to find out about the emails.

Second if Trump was colluding with Russia about the release of the DNC emails Stone would have had no reason to talk to WikiLeaks and lots of reasons to not talk to them.

If Trump was colluding with Russia he'd know in advance about the emails and the last thing he'd want to do is talk to WikiLeaks thereby making a link between himself and the emails. On the other hand if he, like everyone else in DC, knew that WikiLeaks had something but didn't know what it would make sense that Stone, like lots of other people in DC, would reach out to WikiLeaks to find out what was going on.

This is one more example of how what the #FakeNews media spins as being damaging to Trump information that actually clears him.

Democrats; power before country

President Trump is in Vietnam negotiating with the narcissistic and nasty head of North Korea to end a nuclear threat to the United States.

What are Democrats doing? They're having a proven liar testify about how evil Trump is despite the liar, Michael Cohen, having said the exact opposite things for years.

Bashing Trump to help Democrats get power is more important to the Democrats than helping eliminate a critical threat to America.

They could have waited a few days until the summit was over; Cohen isn't going anywhere. But they decided that it's best to undermine the President at a critical juncture in his efforts to denuclearize North Korea.

In fact they probably planned it this way precisely to undercut any success that Trump might have. Even if they fail to keep Trump from reaching a deal they can bury his success because the #FakeNews media will spend more time covering the latest lies of a serial liar rather than any success Trump has with North Korea.

Cohen 2.0

When recently disbarred, because he lied under oath, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen said nice things about Trump, when his chances of ever getting out of prison didn't depend on the whims of Trump hating prosecutors, Democrats said he was a lying rat.

Now that he might say bad things about Trump those same Democrats are saying he's become a saint.  It's Cohen 2.0.

Generally speaking when someone admits to lying to Congress as recently as 2017 it's generally agreed that their subsequent testimony, especially when it occurs when the persons fate is in the hands of very politically biased prosecutors, isn't something we should rely on.

But of course to the Democrats anything that is bad about Trump is by definition true. If the Devil himself testified against Trump Democrats would praise Satan for his candor and honesty.

This scenario is why juries sometimes aren't convinced by the testimony of crooks who are only testifying because they've gotten immunity and a get out of jail card.  While it's true that Cohen will spend some time in prison given the moral laxity of Democrats, they do support killing born babies after all, it's quite possible that Mueller et al have told Cohen that if he lies big and bold about Trump his time in prison will be pleasant and brief.

Supreme Court shuts down "Chicago Rules" at the Ninth Circuit Court

We all know that the dead vote regularly in Chicago; in fact an old joke is that Mayor Daley was such a good mayor that people came back from the dead to vote for him.

But in one more example of expanding leftist hubris the wacky judges in the Ninth Circuit wanted to count the vote of a dead judge.  The judge died before his opinion was formally filed but the nuts on the Ninth thought it should count because well he was a leftist.

The Supreme Court noted that that was crazy talk, though they were more polite, and told the Ninth to try and need less adult supervision.

Is Obama a white Black?

I ask because 7 years ago the media portrayed George Zimmerman who is half Hispanic half white as a "white hispanic" and since Obama is half Black and half white it would seem that he should be classified as a "white Black".

Of course the media had to lie about Zimmerman's race because they couldn't have a hissy fit about a Hispanic man killing a Black man in self defense.

What's interesting is that Democrats seem to be quite comfortable with defining a person's race based on what race is best for Democrats.

For example Elizabeth Warren pretending to be Native American was fine according to Democrats until the heat got to strong and they decided to pretend that she was raceless; they no longer say she's Native American but they don't call her white either.  I guess she's the race version of a genderless person.

This makes sense since Democrats believe that men can will themselves into being women and that women can have a penis.

What this really shows is that Democrats are clinically insane; that is they reject reality and believe that they can through sheer will power change reality to what they want it to be.

Democrat; the party of the rich

Democrats claim to be the champion of the working guy. But that's a big lie.

Democrats are now calling for free college.  Of course free means we the taxpayers pay for college for people who generally speaking aren't paying taxes.

Now I have a college education that my parents sacrificed to pay for and I paid it forward since my wife and I ensured that none of our five kids had college debt--though they all worked and they chose affordable colleges.  I don't see why I and my kids should have to sacrifice for some random Democrat voting family.

But what's really bad is that only around a third of Americans have a college degree.  Yet Democrats want plumbers, carpenters, gardeners, electricians, the enlisted members of the military, people who work in factories, and every other hard working American who doesn't have a college degree to pay extra taxes so that the Democrats can buy the votes of lazy future Democrat voters.

Remember Democrats aren't calling for more college aid for poor Americans; they're calling for free college for all Americans who want to delay supporting themselves for another four years after mom and dad stop subsidizing them.

Any group of miscreants who demands that poor lower class Black families pay extra taxes so rich white suburban kids can go to ritzy schools for free is clearly a party of the rich.

Are all Democrats baby killers?

The question is suddenly relevant after all but three Senate Democrats, and every Democrat Senator including Sanders who is running for President, voted to allow the execution of babies after birth, when the umbilical cord is cut and the baby is no longer dependent on her mother.  If the vast majority of the Democrat leadership in the Senate has come out in favor of killing born babies is the Democrat party now the party of infanticide?

The good news is that while Democrat politicians are clearly on the side of killing unwanted born babies--not surprising since after all Democrats aren't mad at Democrat Governor Northam of Virginia because of his advocacy of infanticide only about his former(?) love of the KKK-- people who vote for Democrats aren't.

A recent poll shows that there has been a huge shift in the pro-life/pro-abortion opinions of Americans. We've always know that most Americans support abortion only out of sympathy for 12 year old girls who were raped because if Americans supported abortion in general the left wouldn't be appalled at being called pro-abortion and back in the 1990's Hillary wouldn't have had to say that abortion should be rare.

In fact if you call someone who is advocating for abortion for any reason at any time in a pregnancy pro-abortion they will, almost universally, declare that they're not pro-abortion. But if abortion is a good thing how can it be bad to be for it?

In order to keep abortion legal the left has had to consistently lie and resort to emotionalism by denying the scientifically defined humanity of the unborn and misstating the reasons for abortion.

Science says that human life begins at conception because that's when our unique DNA that defines our purely biological identity is formed and after that point it doesn't change.  Fetus is a term for a stage in human life just like teenager and toddler; it's not a scientific term for some form of non-human life.

Because in the last month or so Democrats have come out in support of infanticide as well as killing babies who are in the process of being born people are starting to realize that they've been lied to; Democrat politicians aren't pro-choice they're pro-killing babies.  Especially Black babies.

Whenever there is a racial disparity, less than 12% of CEOs are Black or more than 12% of prison inmates are Black, Democrat politicians tell us that it has to be due to racism. Yet Democrat politicians and the #FakeNews media aren't bothered by the fact that Black women are 3 times as likely to abort their babies than white women.  Democrat politicians have said that the government should pay for abortions to reduce welfare costs and it's highly unlikely when rich white Democrat politicians talk about welfare costs they're thinking about white people.  After all if the fact that the leading cause of death for Black Americans is abortion doesn't bother Democrat politicians how unlikely is it that they view that one racial disparity as a good thing?

But Democrat's lie by omission about the impact of what Jesse Jackson called genocide against Blacks isn't the only lie Democrats and their propaganda arm the #FakeNews media have been telling to their voters.

Since 1972 Democrat politicians have been telling lies and not revealing what they really believe in.  But over time the mask has been slipping.  At first we were told that abortion would benefit every child by making every child a wanted child.  Because only "wanted" children would be born their would be less child abuse for example. But as child abuse rates increased--which was hardly surprising due to the fact if you tell someone they can kill their daughter before she's born, that's she's property, they're more likely to think they can rape or beat her up after she's born--Democrats shifted to the Hillary 20th century mode; abortion should be safe, rare, and legal.

Fast forward to today and we have Hillary and the left saying that a woman going against 4 billion years of evolution and killing her daughter is to be celebrated. We have buildings in New York state lit up to rejoice that when a woman's daughter is killed by a mugger under the new NY law he can't be charged with murder. We have a prominent leftist actress saying she's sorry she's never had an abortion.

Because the left controls the culture and because they live in nearly childless bubbles where children are viewed as a burden and promiscuous hedonism is the highest ideal they have lost sight of the reality that most people who vote for pro-abortion politicians aren't themselves pro-abortion.

The recent poll shows 71% of Americans oppose abortions after 20 weeks including 59% of Democrat voters.  Only 18% of Americans support the current Supreme Court edict which imposes abortion for any reason at any point during a pregnancy.  Even 64% of Democrats want abortions limited to the first trimester.

The obvious question to ask is if even Democrat voters oppose unconstrained abortion why do Democrat politicians still vote for it? If the vast majority of Americans oppose late term abortions, including Democrat voters, why did all but 3 Democrat Senators vote to allow the killing of born alive babies?

The answer is that Democrat politicians, the abortion industry--PP rakes in around $1.3 billion a year--, and the #FakeNews media have been peddling the Big Lie that abortion is something that only happens when a woman is raped or when she's facing death.

In fact according to the Allan Guttmacher Institute, a Planned Parenthood affiliated think tank, 49% of women who have an abortion didn't use contraception--and that's not because they didn't know about it or because they couldn't afford the $9.99 a month that contraception costs--when they got pregnant. Essentially around half a million or more abortions a year occur because women are using abortion as their only form of family planning.

In fact Guttmacher tells us that only 13% of all abortions are due to rape or threat to the health, not life, of the mother.

Guttmacher says that  only 1% of the more than 1,000,000 abortions that occur in America every year are due to rape.  Interestingly at least half of the small number of women who become pregnant due to rape--pregnancy is rare in rape because the woman's body has evolved to reduce the chances of pregnancy when the woman isn't willing--choose to not kill their daughters. The appeal of allowing a woman to kill her own child because the child's father is a monster is understandable but ask yourself this; if we oppose the death penalty for rapists how can we support the death penalty for a rapist's daughter for the crime of being conceived?

But even if we allow abortion for cases of rape Planned Parenthood would lose hundreds of millions of dollars and over a million babies would be saved each year.

As far as health goes Guttmacher says that 12% of abortions are due to a woman's concern about her health.  This number has to be examined very closely.  First in an earlier study Guttmacher asked women if they'd been told by a medical doctor that they needed to have an abortion for their health and they found that only 3% of the women who said they had an abortion for their health had actually been told that they should have an abortion by a medical doctor. Which if true today would mean that 12% * 3% = 0.36% of abortions occurre because a medical doctor said that they were necessary for the mothers health.

It gets even worse when one realizes that according to the Supreme Court a woman's health includes things like her being sad or depressed. So a woman who thought she would be sad if she couldn't kill her unborn daughter would classify herself as having an abortion for health reasons.

As an aside the only common case where a woman's life is in danger due to a pregnancy is what's called an ectopic pregnancy. In that case the baby cannot be saved and even the Catholic Church allows for a procedure to save the woman's life which has as an unintended side effect the slightly earlier death of her child.  Basically abortion is never useful for protecting women's lives and in the vast majority of cases where a woman's life is at risk even the Catholic Church allows a procedure which will save her life.

Even if we accept Guttmachers statistics at face value that means that 86% of abortions aren't the result of rape, incest--which is the cause of <0 .5="" abortions="" due="" guttmacher--="" health="" mother.="" of="" or="" p="" the="" threat="" to="">
But we all know that the #FakeNews media, the entertainment industry, academia, and Democrat politicians have been telling us all for decades that abortion is only a last resort to save a woman in a horrible situation.

The reality is that according to Guttmacher 74% of abortions are performed because the woman thinks that having a baby will "dramatically change my life".  By which criteria every pregnancy could be terminated.

That's why the country is suddenly becoming more pro-life. Very few Americans support the idea of killing an innocent unborn baby so as to allow women to be available as sex objects for men to use.

As more and more Americans see through the lies about why women have abortion the support for our current Judicially imposed rules will continue to wither until only the 18% of Americans who support killing an unborn baby so as to not cause her mother to have to change plans will be the only voices for the current system.

Democrat politicians and the abortion industry attacked the recent bill that said that born alive babies should get appropriate medical care by calling it "anti-science" and saying that it would restrict access to abortion both of which are out and out lies. But this isn't surprising.  When Democrats wanted to keep the people of California from establishing term limits for politicians Democrats ran TV ads that said that if the proposition passed--without mentioning that the proposition was about term limits--it would destroy the California environment and all the California beaches.  When Democrat politicians can't defend their position they will directly and intentionally lie to we the people hoping that because we're honest we'll mistakenly think that they're honest too.

It's easy to see how kids who have been brainwashed their whole lives in public schools that the unborn aren't human and that there's a magical moment at birth where a clump of cells becomes their little sister could support abortion in cases of rape, incest, or threat to the mothers life.

It's even easy to see why those people would assume that Democrat politicians, the #FakeNews media, and their left wing teachers wouldn't lie to them about something so important and so fundamental.

The problem for the Democrat politicians and their Igor's in the #FakeNews media is that Abraham Lincoln was right when he said you can't fool all the people all the time.  Intelligent Democrat voters are, thanks to the hubris and narcissism of Democrat politicians, seeing what Democrat politicians actually stand for.  The mask of compassion is slipping off and the blood stained hands of Democrat politicians advocating for the right to kill born babies are starting to show.

Being pro-choice to Democrat politicians means allowing abortion for any reason at any point in time including and a bit after birth.  But that's not what pro-choice means to Democrat voters.

The good news is that the roughly 50% of Americans who vote for Democrats don't share the Democrat politicians eagerness to kill born babies.

That's why it's critical you educate your friends and families about just what Democrat politicians really support.

To paraphrase the Washington Post; Democrat politicians thrive in darkness and die in the light




When Democrats are in charge life is bad except for the rich

If you want to find out what America would be like if it was run by Democrats you can look at California; a one party state where Democrats control everything.

What you'll find is that poverty and homelessness are rampant, income inequality is huge and growing, illegals are prioritized over taxpayers, there are public health crises, and taxes are obscenely high.

For example while California has about 12% of the US population it has 34% of American welfare recipients.  Of the 4.2 million people in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Supplemental Security Income 43% live in California. 

Why? Because Democrats in California have built a hugely rewarding welfare system so the "poor" from across the country come to California not for jobs but for bigger checks funded by taxpayers.

Then of course there's all the illegals.  A left wing site estimates that there are 2.6 million illegals in California. Those cost California a fortune--more than $25 billion a year ; money that should be used to help poor and needy Americans.  Given that the State budget in California is around $190 billion freeing up $25 billion from state and local governments would make a huge difference, it would wipe out the state budget deficit which in 2018-2019 was "only" around $2 billion for example.

Why does California have an illegal problem?  Because Democrats have done everything they can to lure illegals to California.  While the new Democrat Governor is promising free healthcare for all illegals California already provides illegals with in-state tuition for California colleges, welfare if they have any children, and drivers licenses. In addition illegals effectively get free healthcare since if they show up at an emergency room they're treated for free and they know that they won't be reported to ICE.

In fact the Democrats put illegals ahead of legal residents when it comes to government benefits.  Due to limited funding there are only so many slots available for California colleges and there are more applicants than there are slots. Which means that every illegal who gets accepted is displacing a legal resident.  So legal residents who pay taxes, or whose parents pay taxes, are being denied a subsidized college education in California while illegals, who don't pay state taxes, are given that benefit.

Interestingly the Democrats in California are even eager to lure criminal illegals-- rapists, murderers, drunk drivers, thieves, and drug dealers--to California.  When we hear about "sanctuary" states like California we tend to think of decent hard working illegals being shielded from deportation. The reality is that "sanctuary" laws protect illegals who commit crimes once they're in the US.  What "sanctuary" laws do is prohibit the local police from telling ICE that the guy they just arrested for drunk driving is an illegal.  Without "sanctuary" laws illegals who commit additional crimes, other than entering the country illegally, would be deported but with the Democrat pushed sanctuary laws those criminals can stay in the US and prey on Americans, and other illegals. 

That's right not only do Democrats favor short sentences for guys who deal drugs to kids in grade school but they pass laws, when they can, to keep violent illegal criminals in the US.

Which makes sense because we know that lots of illegals illegally vote; after all why would someone who has no problem breaking our laws to collect welfare hesitate to break our laws to vote for Democrats who promise to give them more of other peoples hard earned money.  But even if Democrats are right that all those illegals become scrupulous about following the law once they're in America we know for a fact that illegals provided free labor to help the Democrats do ballot harvesting in California so the more illegals the better off Democrats are.

Oh and let's not forget the uber rich leftists at places like Facebook--average salary $240 thousand a year--want their cheap food and cheap labor provided by economically exploited illegals.

Which brings up another Democrat caused problem; massive income inequality.  California depends on the taxes of a few thousand insanely rich people to stay afloat and so it's not surprising that the wealthy--ranging from the massively well remunerated Silicon valley workers to the Hollywood set--are catered to while the rest of the state is awash with poverty,  Very few common folk can afford to buy a house for example with the median housing cost in the Bay Area being $820 thousand.

California's massive housing problem is due to Democrat passed laws. Environmental regulations and other bureaucratic overhead--including a new requirement that every new home has to have an expensive solar array-- has made houses unaffordable for anyone who doesn't have one of those few great paying jobs like working for Google. And apartments are similarly unaffordable; the average one bedroom apartment rent in San Francisco is $3412/month. So if someone makes $19/hour and works 40 hours a week they could afford an apartment but not food, electricity, water, or clothes.  Hence the Democrat's drive for higher minimum wages even if it didn't actually result in more unemployment wouldn't solve the homeless problem.

As a result the state is swarming with homeless people. There are 1,000 homeless people making Venice Beach unlivable--the beaches are covered with used needles, feces, and trash--in a community where the average house costs $2.1 million.

Democrat passed laws and Democrat supported bureaucracies drive the cost of building a one family apartment in LA for the homeless to more than $400 thousand.  That's compared to a national average of $65 to 85 thousand.  To house the 50,000 homeless people in LA county alone at that sort of rate would cost more than $15 billion.  Given the LA budget is only $30 billion it's clear that there is no way that the Democrats who run LA, and the state, are ever going to provide housing for all the homeless.

But by welcoming the homeless through posh welfare programs and a promise of housing the Democrats are drawing more and more homeless to California.

In fact California cities are becoming physically unsafe due to the feces, needles, and diseases that result from homelessness. San Diego is facing a typhus epidemic and San Francisco sidewalks and streets are so riddled with feces that there is a map available so that people can avoid the majority of it.  And of course the homeless can be violent so that the safety of the taxpayers has gone down; something that the Democrats who generally don't have to mix with the common folk don't really experience.

We don't need to wait until Democrats win control of America to see what their policies will do. They tell us that California is their vision of the future and all we need to do to see that Democrats want to make our lives hell on earth is look and see what they're doing in California.

A real war on the press

In Venezuela leftist Univision anchor Jorge Ramos had his equipment seized and he and his colleges were detained in the middle of an interview with the socialist dictator of Venezuela.

Now that's waging a war on the press. While Ramos and his people were eventually released that's a far cry from what Ramos has condemned Trump for.  When, back in 2015, Ramos asked a question without having been called on at a Trump presser and when he refused to sit down and let someone who Trump had called on ask a question security removed him.  He concluded that he's "unmasked" candidate Trump.  He complained that he should have been allowed to ask questions even when not called on.  He said that Trump was afraid of his questions even though at Trump's direction Ramos was allowed back into the room and had the chance to ask Trump questions.  Even after that though Ramos attacked Trump.

It'll be interesting to see what Ramos says about being detained, not merely removed from a private event, and having had his equipment confiscated. Will he condemn Maduro as quickly and as strongly as he condemned Trump?

Don't hold your breath.  I hope I'm wrong but the hatred of people like Ramos, leftists not Mexicans, for Trump is far stronger than their slight public dislike of socialist dictators like Maduro. People can be starving and without medical care and the government can burn aid shipments in a socialist country and leftist will defend the situation but if Trump says that some illegals are criminals the entire left will unite and call him a racist.

Democrats vote to support killing born babies

The Senate voted on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection act and it lost because only 3 Democrats voted for it--60 votes were needed to overcome a filibuster by the Democrats.  All of the Senate Democrats who are running for President, including Bernie Sanders, voted against it.

The Act said that if a baby is born alive after a failed abortion attempt that baby must be treated like any other born alive baby and given appropriate medical care.

The Act in no way restricts abortion rights unless of course you think that a woman should be guaranteed that an abortionist can't botch his job.

But the Democrats oppose it and support denying a healthy new born viable baby medical care.

It's not just Democrat Senators.  Democrat Governor Northam of Virginia--you know the KKK fan--also says that just because a baby is born alive she doesn't deserve medical treatment.

When supposedly decent people talk about killing a born independent viable baby just because her mother doesn't want her we're looking at nothing less than monstrous evil.

These Democrats aren't pro-choice they're pro-murdering babies.

If they're willing to kill abortion survivors you can be sure that they have no concern for your rights or the quality of your life.  As AOC says they're in it for the money and the power; the power of life and death over we the people.

Why you can't trust Snopes; Hillary Clinton edition

In a speech in 2015 Hillary Clinton said the following:

Yes, we’ve nearly closed the global gender gap in primary school, but secondary school remains out of reach for so many girls around the world. Yes, we’ve increased the number of countries prohibiting domestic violence, but still more than half the nations in the world have no such laws on the books, and an estimated one in three women still experience violence. Yes, we’ve cut the mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth.
All the laws we’ve passed don’t count for much if they’re not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice, not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.
But Snopes declares that the statement "Hillary Clinton said in a speech that Christians in America must deny their faith in Christianity." is false. Snopes rated the comment false because they say that demanding better education, an end to domestic violence, and a reduction in the mortality rate of women in childbirth won't require Christians to change their religious beliefs.  Interestingly they don't comment on the implications of Hillary's use of the term "reproductive health".

It is undebatable that she is saying that religious beliefs have to change to conform to her vision of the world.  The question raised by Snopes is are the beliefs she's demanding must be changed beliefs that are held by Christians in America today?

First note she's clearly saying that we must change religious beliefs that condemn "reproductive health care", i.e. abortion.

Clearly Snopes is ignoring the fact that when Hillary says "reproductive health" she means abortion. That usage is common to all leftists because it allows them to call for legalizing or funding abortion without directly saying so.  

Contrary to the Snopes claim what most conservatives were saying wasn't that Hillary said we had to deny our faith in Christ but that she was saying that Christians would have to change our moral code to conform to hers.

Clearly based on what Hillary said there is no other interpretation; she is saying that American Christians must change their position on abortion; that is religious teachings must conform to Hillary's morality.

Even if we take Snopes claim as stated Hillary was demanding that Christians reject Christianity for if one believes that Christ taught that abortion is murder then changing one's belief is a rejection of Christianity because if one says that Jesus taught something that wasn't true, i.e. if abortion is ok and Jesus said it wasn't, then clearly He wasn't God. But if we say that Jesus isn't God we're rejecting Christianity. After all Paul said that if Jesus didn't rise from the dead our faith is in vain but if Jesus wasn't God then He didn't rise from the dead either because as atheists are always, and correctly, saying normal people don't rise from the dead on their own.

This is a prime example of why you can never ever trust Snopes.  The person who wrote the Snopes position is either ignorant--and doesn't know how leftists like Hillary use the term "reproductive health"--or a deliberate liar who tried to spin her comments in order to bury the truth and deny the clear unambiguous meaning of Hillary's words in order to protect her from the consequences of her statement.

Ocasio-Cortez, Maher talk about what lives are worth living

The Nazi's had a slogan "Life not worth living" to describe people who the Nazi's felt were better off dead.  The Nazi's put people with incurable illnesses, children with birth defects, criminals, the mentally ill, homosexuals, child molesters, and "unproductive" adults into that group.  They then proceeded to either kill or sterilize those whom the government had declared had lives not worth living.

Bill Maher had said that everyone who doesn't vote Democrat does so because we envy the superior life, Wolfgang Puck vs Chef Boyardee, that the better educated leftists have.  Essentially he said that our lives aren't very good though he didn't quite say they're not worth living.

Yesterday Ocasio-Cortez built on that by declaring that we should stop having children because those children would suffer due to climate change.  She's saying that their lives wouldn't be worth living.  That literally they would be better off never having been born because their lives might not conform to the Democrat ideal.

Both of these comments reveal a key fact at the core of modern leftism; they believe that only a sexually promiscuous hedonistic selfish life lived with all the luxuries of modern society is really worth living.

After all if if AOC says that we shouldn't have babies because their lives might be difficult she is also condemning the lives of all of those who have had, or are having, difficult lives--like say coal miners or people with birth defects--aren't worth living.

In fact by AOC's criteria the vast majority of humanity would be better off dead.  Clearly even in the delusional view of American 30 years from now that AOC is pitching life would be better than it currently is in say Somalia or Nigeria so if the lives of our children won't be worth living then the lives of most of humanity aren't worth living today.

Many of the insane positions held by the left can be explained by their view that only earthly wealth and hedonism make life worth living.

That's why Democrats are very cool with parents testing to see if their unborn daughters might be "defective" and then killing them if there's a chance they might be.  Democrats are celebrating the fact that in Iceland every unborn child who might have Downs Syndrome is killed for example.

That's why Democrats are all for genetic engineering to make "perfect" babies.

That's why Democrats don't mind death panels for other people since like other fascists Democrats view the sick and the old as burdens on society not people to be loved.

That's why Democrats are eager to let drug dealers out of jail quickly; drugs are needed to live the hedonistic lifestyle that is necessary to meet the Democrat criteria of a life worth living.

That's why Democrats don't care that Black women are 3 times as likely to abort as white women or that thousands of Blacks are shot in Chicago each year; the life of a poor Black living in a Democrat run city isn't worth living by the standards of AOC and her fellow leftists.

One of the key beliefs that has made America great is that all men are created equal and given inalienable rights by God, not by the Government.

Democrats have rejected that; if you eat at fancy restaurants and go to an Ivy League college your life is better than if you eat Chef Boyardee and work as a plumber.  In the minds of Democrats we the people aren't equal to the better educated better fed coastal elites.  Democrats believe your rights flow from government not the God they functionally reject.  That's why Democrats think they have the right to control what you eat--AOC says cut out beef and other Democrats say don't drink soda--and what your religion can teach--Hillary said that religions have to change their beliefs to conform to those of the Democrat elites.

An old Lithuanian woman who had lived under both Communist and Nazi tyranny was asked which was worse. She said the Communists because if you did what the Nazi's told you to do they'd leave you alone but the Communists demanded that you think the way they wanted you to think.

It's clear that modern Democrat politicians like AOC are demanding that we think and live as they want us to and that anyone who resists has a life that's not really worth living.

Democrat Eric Swalwell carries his supporters with him


Seeing the Green New Deal in action today

Even Ocasio-Cortez is saying that the "Green New Deal" is more of a vision than a set of detailed plans.  Hence to see what would happen if Democrats get the power in 2020 we can look to California and Chicago where Democrats have controlled everything for years.

If Democrats get their way we'll see a lot more poverty; while California has only 12% of the US population it has 34% of the people on welfare.

If Democrats get their way we'll see much greater income inequality; in California there are the mega wealthy in Silicon valley and LA and then the desperately poor in the rest of the state.

If Democrats get their way we'll see rampant crime; year after year in Chicago thousands of people are shot and Democrats interest in shortened prison sentences, helping protect criminals from prosecution, and demands that there can be no racial disparities in prosecution ensure that the killing will go on.

If Democrats get their way illegals will have all the benefits of citizenship without having to pay taxes; in California illegals are getting into state colleges with taxpayer subsidized tuitions while real live California citizens are turned away.

If Democrats get their way housing prices will keep most Americans from being able to own a home; an 800 sq ft fixer upper was going for more than $1 million and housing is unaffordable in SF.

If Democrats have their way ancient diseases will make a come back; due to the massive growth in homelessness under California Democrats typhus is making a come back.

The list goes on but if you look at California or Chicago there is not one way in which life there is better except for the ultra rich elites.

Ignore what Democrats say and look at what happens when they're in charge.  If you're an ultra rich Google employee your life will improve with the Democrats in power but if you're a regular American your life will take a nosedive.

Democrats want indoctrination not education is schools

Teachers in Oakland California are on strike for massive pay raises and less work even though they're failing at doing their job.  64% of Oakland students are below their grade level in terms of their ability to read.

That's right while Oakland teachers are failing at their jobs they're demanding huge pay increases from a school district that is already running a $30 million a year deficit.

What's more interesting is that the teachers are getting their students, the one's they're failing to educate but appear to be indoctrinating very well, to come out and protest in support of the teachers.

In the real world employee's of a company which was producing a horrible product would be looking for new jobs not demanding more money but teacher's unions give millions to the Democrats who run California so they can be confident that the California taxpayers will be forced to pay for raises for the already well compensated Oakland teachers despite the fact that those teachers are failing the kids, many of whom are minors, in Oakland.

That's the brave world of Democrat run California; it doesn't matter what you do or how good you are it only depends on who you know.

Maduro burns food for starving Venezuelans; Democrats support him

Even as the Democrats are pushing for socialism, government control over everything in our lives, on America they're silent or supportive of Maduro, the dictator running Venezuela.

It apparently doesn't bother them that he's using military force to deny his people foreign aid while he lives in luxury.

But then Socialism is all about the elites lording it over we the people.

If burning food for starving people doesn't get the likes of AOC and her fellow Democrats to condemn Maduro then it's clear that the Democrats are monsters.

Democrat irrationality: Smollett edition

Even though hate crimes against Blacks are so rare that Jussie Smollet had to fake one we're told by the same people who told us that of course Jussie wasn't lying are now saying that the real problem with Smollett's lie was that it will distract from the real hate crimes that are so prevalent in America.

Of course with a #FakeNews media desperate to find these hate crimes you'd expect we'd be hearing about them all the time. But if you look into it we rarely hear stories like Smollett's which was why it was such big news; if Blacks were being attacked by racists so much Smollett's story wouldn't have been latched on to by so many on the left as "proof" that there are so many hate crimes.

It's irrational to say that despite the insane coverage the Smollett case produced and the absence of that sort of coverage on anything like a regular basis, say nationwide as often as some Black is murdered in Chicago, that there is in fact a plethora of unreported racist attacks.

What the Smollett case--and the various other hoaxes from the Bradley case on--tell us is that if there is anything remotely like a credible case for a racist attack against a Black the media will cover it 24/7.  Hence the fact that we rarely see such coverage tells us that credible racist incidents are rare, probably rarer than attacks on people wearing MAGA hats.

Now of course any racist attack is horrible and we all agree that racist attackers should be thrown in jail but the left's claim that racist attacks on Blacks are common is nothing more than an irrational claim by racists Democrats trying to transfer their feelings of guilt for doing nothing about the mass shootings of Blacks in Democrat run cities like Chicago to Republicans.

Buying votes with your money; Warren edition.

Warren lied about being a Native American so she could get cushy jobs like a $300K+ a year deal at Harvard to teach one class.

But now that her little secret is out, she's less Native American than the average American, real Native Americans are upset about their special privileges being stolen by some white woman.

So of course Warren is doing what Democrats always do; suggesting that our tax money be used to pay off Native Americans so they won't oppose her in the 2020 election.

She's doing so by talking about "reparations" for Native Americans.  Interestingly she is not suggesting reparations for all the Europeans who were killed by Native Americans who sided with the French and attacked English settlers nor for all the Americans who were killed by Native Americans after that.

Now it would be one thing if she were using her own money but that's not what she's suggesting.  Like all examples of supposed Democrat "charity" she is going to use the power of the government to take money from we the people and spend it to advance her goals and make her feel good about herself while keeping her ill gotten gains to live a lifestyle that most American's can't.

Democrat intolerance; MAGA hat edition

In what is becoming a regular event a leftists Brazilian national residing in Massachusetts attacked a stranger because he was wearing a Make America Great Again hat.

Being a good leftist she claimed that she was the victim because the hat is so horribly offensive.  Yep a leftist assaults a conservative and it's the conservatives fault for daring to say something the leftist doesn't like.

Interestingly she said that the man wearing the hat shouldn't be allowed to eat in Mexican restaurants because he supported Trump who supports a Wall to keep illegals out.

We're in an age where Democrats feel comfortable declaring that any point of view that isn't their's is justification for physical violence.

Originally it was just Antifa attacking people that dared to speak truth to Democrat power but now apparently a significant fraction of Democrat supporters think it's a-ok for any Democrat to physically attack people they disagree with.  And it's not just low level violence since when Democrats tried to murder conservatives who oppose redefining marriage and Republican Congressmen the #FakeNews media and the Democrats made a few noises basically saying that those things weren't that bad with their silence.

#FakeNews ignoring a white honest version of Smollett

A conservative college student was physically assaulted on the Berkley campus in a story shockingly similar to the fake attack that Jussie Smollett lied about.

But the plethora of leftists and #FakeNews media types who hopped on the Smollett and Covington boys lies are strangely silent.  On the good news side Berkley has condemned the attack.

This is just one more sign that the left is completely comfortable with violence against those people that it hates based on their ideology.  After all the SPLC refuses to declare Antifa and BLM to be hate groups because the SPLC says hate based on ideology isn't really hate; except when it's on the right of the political spectrum.

WaPo sad farmers are hiring Americans

In response to Trump's tough immigration talk farmers are slowly but surely switching from using exploited illegals to fairly paid Americans or foreigners brought in on temporary visa's--similar to the old guest worker program.

To the Washington Post that's a problem.  Why?  Well because the fewer illegals there are and the more that Americans get paid the less likely it is that Democrats will gain political power and that's all that the #FakeNews media cares about.

Some farmers are saying that having to pay a decent wage and not exploit illegals will drive up the cost of fresh fruit in America.  Well gosh darn as a conservative I'm more than willing to pay more for fruit rather than exploit illegals. Strangely the WaPo seems to think it's better for them to get a bargain on strawberries than to ensure that whomever picks them is fairly paid.

This is just one more example of how when Democrats claim to be charitable they're really being selfish; Democrats don't want open borders because they are concerned about the plight of people, they want open borders so they can get cheap labor, cheap food, and keep wages down.

Democrats reject charity and endorse selfishness

What's more selfish than saying that someone else must work so that you can get a free college education?

Well maybe saying that because she'd mess up your life it's ok to kill your unborn daughter.

These are just two examples of how all of the Democrats policies are based on selfishness.

What about illegals; aren't the Democrats being charitable by letting them in? Not really since illegals cost taxpayers billions of dollars each year, they drive down wages for the poorest American workers, and they steal jobs that could otherwise go to Americans.

This highlights a key point; when Democrats are being "charitable" it's always with other peoples money.  Democrat politicians don't use their own money to help the poor instead they raise taxes on the rest of us in order to feel good about themselves. Similarly many Democrat voters think that voting for someone who will raise taxes on other people is being charitable; essentially Democrats want to be philanthropic with other peoples money.

How about welfare?  Well first note that there are no conservatives who object to welfare for those who either can't fend for themselves due to mental or physical issues or for those who just need a temporary helping hand.  The unique Democrat policy was spelled out by Ocasio-Cortez when she demanded that those who are able to work but unwilling to do so should be paid with the money earned by those who are willing to work.  But how is Democrats stealing money from workers to give to bums selfish?  It's selfish because Democrats only do so to buy the votes of some or all of the undeserving people they're sending taxpayer dollars to.

The rich white elites of the Democrat party are selfishly increasing energy costs, which is a hugely regressive tax on the poor, because they, the rich white Democrats, want to virtue signal how much they care about the environment.

Similarly because Democrats are either afraid of guns or want to ensure that we the people can't stand up to tyranny they deny poor people the right to defend themselves.  Essentially Democrats put their own selfish concerns ahead of the interests of the people.

It's time to dispel this notion that Democrats taxing other people makes Democrats charitable.  Instead let's remind everyone that conservatives give more of their own time and money to help those in need than leftists.

What Jussie Smollett tells us about the Left's perception of life

Anyone with any common sense was immediately doubtful that two white MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters were randomly cruising the most left wing part of Chicago in sub zero temperatures carrying bleach and a rope just in case they ran across Jussie Smollett.

Jussie told us he was targeted because of his criticisms of Trump so that means that the attackers weren't just wandering around looking for any black/gay guy; they were looking only for Jussie.

Now most of us didn't immediately say that Jussie was lying; after all a broken rib is a big deal.  But we took a "let's see what the cops say" attitude.  Not the #FakeNews media and the left.

Even after Jussie admitted that he'd lied about the broken rib the left held up his claim as proof that everyone they don't like is a racist.

Two Democratic presidential candidates, Harris and Booker, said that the attack was like a lynching and demanded that a special law be passed against lynching--as though until that law passed people could just wander around and lynch people legally.

The #FakeNews media pontificated on how this made perfect sense since Trump is a racist and all his followers are racists.  A point they don't make about Nathan Philips whose follower told white people to go back to Europe.

The reason the left reacted differently is because the left has been drinking their own bath water. They are starting to believe the lies they tell about racism in America. They honestly think even though a white person is more likely to be shot by cops than a black person if they don't resist or run when stopped by the cops that all cops are racists--even Black cops.

This is a form of projection since if we judge people by their actions it's the Left in America today which is consistently racist:

1) Leftists say and do nothing to end the mass shooting of Blacks in Chicago
    Conservatives demand tougher policing to make Blacks safe
2) Leftists say that letting Blacks choose to send their kids to successful schools is racist
    Conservatives want to empower Black parents to ensure that their kids get a good education
3) Leftists keep high paying jobs out of Black areas--Chicago rejected a store because it was non-union
    Conservatives want tax incentives to bring jobs into Black neighborhoods.
4) Leftists are fine with the racial disparity that Black women are 3 times more likely to abort their babies than white women
    Conservatives want to end abortion so that the leading cause of death for Black Americans will no longer be abortion
5) Leftists support massive illegal immigration which keeps Blacks unemployed and drives down Black wages
    Conservatives want to let Blacks benefit from the Trump economy not illegals
6)Leftists treat Blacks like Candice Owens, Kanye, Judge Thomas, and Ben Carson who don't toe the white leftist ideological line horribly declaring they're not really Black
   Conservatives attacked Obama's ideology not his race.

In the world of the left a high violent Black man who tried to kill a cop but who was killed himself is a cause that must be celebrated so much that there are riots but thousands of Blacks who are shot in Chicago each year can be ignored.

They have to pretend that Trump supporters, many of whom are Black, are all racists so that they, the leftists, can ignore their own racism.

To give their own selfish hedonistic racist lives a pass leftists have constructed a fake world based on #FakeNews that let them say that it's always the other guy who is to blame; never themselves.

It's been a bad, really terrible, amazingly bad new year for Democrats

Precisely because the Democrats control the House the American people are seeing what they actually stand for.

For two years Democrats had been telling us just how wonderful, competent, and honest Mueller is and how it was a certainty that he'd show that Trump colluded with Russia.  Now they're saying that if Mueller doesn't show collusion--which they probably know is the case-- he's so incompetent that they will have to start another investigation.

That shows the American people that the Democrats never cared about the truth only about overturning the 2016 election.

The media has demonstrated its mendacity in its coverage of the Covington boys and Jussie Smollett. In both cases the media spun the story to support Democrats and condemn Trump without bothering to do even minimal fact checking.  With even the few semi-honest #FakeNews media types admitting that they were wrong and rushed to judgement as they attacked a 16 year old boy and with Smollett being arrested and condemned by the Black head of the Chicago police department for faking a hate crime in order to get more money we the people have even more proof that the #FakeNews media are nothing more than a bunch of lying dishonest Democrat propagandists.

With the Democrats having power even the #FakeNews media can no longer hide the truth from we the people.

We now know that Democrats are for taxpayers funding those who are able to but unwilling to work.

Oh and California Democrats pushing a bill to force priests to tell the government what Catholics confess in the Sacrament of Confession won't win them any friends either.

One last thing; AOC pushing for taxpayers to work hard to ensure that those who are able to work but unwilling to do so have a lifestyle they find acceptable.

Bernie Sanders reveals the truth about socialism

Bernie is all for big government controlling our lives and taxing those who work to pay for freebies for those who vote for him.

But he owns 3 houses so he's also an example of the fact that the leaders in socialist countries always get very very rich.

For example the family of former Venezuelan ruler Hugo Chavez is worth billions of dollars.

So Bernie is the prototypical socialist leader; someone who talks about spreading the wealth but who makes sure that more of it is spread in his direction than in the direction of hard working Americans.

Democrats declare war on the Catholic Church

Democrats in California have introduced a bill which will compel Catholic priests to reveal to the government what Catholics confess in the Sacrament of Confession.

Catholics believe that in order to receive God's forgiveness for serious sins we must, if possible, confess those sins to a priest so that the priest can exercise the power granted to him by God to forgive their sins--it's God who forgives not the priest. Whether one agrees with that or not the point is that Catholics do believe that and our Constitution guarantees people of all faiths not just the right to worship but the right to exercise their religion.

Because Catholics must disclose their most secret failings the Church has always said that a priest is required to maintain the secrecy of the Confession.  Priests have died rather than betray their confidence.  After all who would confess if they knew that the priest could share their sins with the government?

Yet now Democrats in California want the Church to bow to the state by requiring that a priest who hears about child molestation in Confession report it to the state.

While the motivation of this bill is understandable it by its very nature is an attack on the deeply held religious beliefs of all Catholics.  We don't compel people whose faith demands pacifism to fight in wars thereby sending others to die in their place but now the Democrats in California are eager to demand that Catholics renounce their beliefs.

In any case it's highly unlikely that  someone who is molesting kids would choose to go to Confession according to  priests.  And even if a molester does go to Confession the priest is under no obligation to forgive his sins unless he shows true signs of an intent to sin no more which could include requiring the penitent to turn himself into the police.

Given that 10% of public school students are molested by teachers before they graduate from high school one wonders why Democrats across the country are only attacking the Catholic Church--not that they should give the Church a pass but it's not by accident that they ignore all other molestation and concentrate only on the Church.  Plenty of public school employees cover up sexual molestation of children as they pass around teachers who have been accused of molesting kids yet Democrats are ignoring that.

Given that the left often defends child molestation when it's done by a leftist--check out Woody Allen and Roman Polanski-- the real motivation of this assault on the Catholic Church is unlikely to be a concern about the children but rather a desire to make first the Catholic faith and then all faiths subservient to the Democrat run state.

The reality is forcing Catholics to abandon a key tenant of their faith would do little to reduce child molestation but it would do a lot to advance the idea that all religions, not just the Catholic faith, are subject to the power of government.

If Democrats can force Catholic priests to violate the seal of the confessional for child molestation why not any other sin that Democrats object to?  Should priests be forced to report penitents who confess to being racists or who sell drugs?

If Democrats can tell Catholics how to handle their sacraments couldn't they tell the Church that it has to ordain women as priests or forbid the Church from denying the priesthood to active homosexuals?

If Democrats can tell Catholics how to run their Church why couldn't Democrats demand that evangelicals bake cakes for gay weddings or demand that openly gay men be allowed to be ministers?

If Democrats can tell Catholic to violate one of their most strongly held 2000 year old beliefs why couldn't Democrats force Jews to work on Saturdays or serve pork in their restaurants?

If Democrats can force Catholics to change their beliefs why couldn't Democrats demand that pacifists fight in the military?

America was founded on the belief that people were entitled to live out their faith no matter what that faith was because the Founders realized that people's most precious freedom was to be able to live as they believed they should live.  But modern Democrats, being fascists at heart, tend to hate religion because religion competes with the all powerful government that Democrats lust after for the hearts and minds of we the people.

We see over and over how modern Democrats are working not to convince the people of the correctness of their arguments but to silence any voice that stands against them.  We see it in Facebook, Twitter, Google, and YouTube, we see it in Democrats calling for prison sentences for people who call transgendered by their biological identity, we see it for Democrats calling for prison for people who deny Global Warming...er Climate Change.

Hence their trying to force the Catholic Church, and eventually any church which doesn't concur with the Democrat agenda, to bend its knee to the only source of power that Democrats recognize, the state, is perfectly in keeping with how Democrats treat any voice they disagree with.

If you doubt that note the muted condemnation of Antifa by Democrats even though Antifa uses violence to silence any speech that they don't agree with.

There is a famous poem from a Lutheran minister about the Holocaust:

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

No matter what you think about Catholic beliefs you need to realize that if the State can tell any faith what it must believe and how it must act then no faith, including yours, is safe.
If Democrats can declare that the people have no right to keep even their sins secret from the State then none of us can ever have any privacy again; not just about child molestation but about anything.
Democrats never stop. They told us that while they wanted gays to have civil unions they'd never push for redefining marriage but within a few years they, by judicial fiat, redefined marriage even though 51,000,000 Americans had voted against it.  Now Democrats demand that Christians must provide services to gay weddings while gays need not provide services to Christians.
We were told we must pretend that men can become women and now we're being told that we must ignore science; that women can have a penis.
Democrats recognize no limit to the power of government over our lives which is why we must fight to allow the Catholic Church to maintain the seal of the Confessional if we wish to preserve our right to exercise whatever we believe to be God's will.

Proof the SPLC is a hate group

Did you know that the SPLC doesn't list Antifa--you know the guys who beat up people whose politics they don't like--as a hate group because the SPLC only counts hate groups that hate based on "race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity"?

They even admit that they ignore left wing hate groups:

"This does not mean that extremism and violence on the far left are not concerns. But groups that engage in anti-fascist violence such as Antifa, for example, differ from hate groups in that they are not typically organized around bigotry against people based on the characteristics listed above."

So while the SPLC says that violent left wing hate groups which hate based on ideology are supposedly a concern the SPLC is not going to include them in their list of hate groups.

This is a big deal because the Internet giants turn to SPLC to help define what they should censor.  So the SPLC is saying to censor groups who oppose redefining marriage but not groups that advocate violence to silence speech they don't like.

Interestingly SPLC lists the Proud Boys as a hate group even though the group denies racism and says that it simply opposes leftist ideology as Antifa opposes anything to the right of communism.  The examples of "racist" speech by Proud Boy members are no worse than what many main stream reporters say about Trump supporters. Or when Antifa members told Black cops that there are no good cops.  I'm not defending Proud Boys but I do know that Antifa is, as SPLC admits, a group based on hate and SPLC says that's not enough to get them on the SPLC list.  

If SPLC didn't refuse to list Antifa I'd have no problem with them listing Proud Boys but the fact that they confine their concern to organizations that they dislike politically means that the SPLC isn't some objective observer.

Clearly the SPLC is admitting to hating the right because they refuse to list groups that hate the right as hate groups.

Nothing spells hatred by a group like saying that others who share their hatred aren't haters.

Proof of Global Warming fakery

Here's an in depth article which shows that the temperature record is being systematically altered to lower temperatures in the past so as to show a rising temperature today.

We can tell that there's a problem with this for one simple reason; we have every reason to believe that current temperatures are being measured artificially high yet the current temperatures are not being lowered.

The biggest impact on temperature sensors is something called the urban heat island effect.  If you measure the temperature in a grassy glade and in an asphalt parking lot you'll get two very different temperatures because the asphalt warms up and radiates heat--that thermal warming around cities is why tornados rarely hit them by the way.

Over decades the urban areas grow so that thermometers which used to be in grassy settings are now near roads and other heat raising artifacts.  Hence one would expect that we need to correct modern temperatures down to compensate for that effect but that's the opposite of what the corrects applied by people who all stand to get more funding if Global Warming is real make.

Why do Leftists keep faking hate crimes?

In addition to death and taxes there is a new inevitable thing; left wing fake hate crimes.

Breitbart keeps a list of hate crimes which turn out to be fakes here.  Andy Ngo, a real journalist who digs up facts, has a long list of recent fake hate crimes staged by leftists.

With the Jussie Smollett "attack" now officially a fake hate crime with a grand jury indicting him it seems appropriate to figure out why there is this unending stream of fake hate crimes by the left.

A key question to answer as well is why aren't there fake hate crimes on the right?  Why don't we see people lying about being attacked by gangs of Blacks for example?

The answer to both questions is based on the behavior of the #FakeNews media.  

As a willing and eager source of propaganda for the Democrats the #FakeNews media, and leftists in academia, continually repeat the lie that America is full of right wing haters who spend all their free time attacking gays and Blacks and women...er not women that's all leftists #MeToo folk.

The left constantly tells us how much hate the vast majority of Americans who are white have for anyone who isn't like them.  They don't explain how we got a Black president or why there aren't mass lynchings like there used to be in the Democrat controlled South when there were a lot of white racists running around.

Essentially if you're a leftist in America today you KNOW that white people are evil, except for your white friends who are so perfect, and hence you KNOW that there are lots of hate crimes being committed against minorities and gays every single day.

But leftists are confused about why they don't actually see any reports of this tsunami of white privilege based hate induced violence.  It must be that the media is hiding the truth from Americans.

Now if leftists actually used reason they'd know that that is insane.  After all why would the same media that is constantly telling us how racist and homophobic white Americas are cover up white American hate crimes? But fortunately for Democrats leftists rarely use logic or reason.

So what's a good leftist to do?  Well fake a hate crime to draw attention to the real but unreported epidemic of white hate crimes.

It's a way to resolve the cognitive dissonance between what Leftists know to be true and the reality that they live in.  By faking hate crimes they keep themselves from thinking that they're being idiots for believing in something there is no evidence for.

In addition they know that the #FakeNews media will talk about any hate crime endlessly--yes that contradicts the belief of leftists that the media is suppressing the truth about hate crimes but as has been pointed out by many people leftists view reason as the enemy of what's good--just ask Ocasio-Cortez--,so that the hate crime faker will become a celebrity and, like Kavanaugh's accuser, make a lot of money.  

Just look at how the Smollett and Covington stories were first covered.  There was a stampede to "justice" and media types fell over themselves trying to be the first to say how these events proved that every Trump voter was a sadistic, racist, homophobic, mass murdering, cannibalistic savage who is literally Hitler.

Conservatives don't fake hate crimes because we don't live with cognitive dissonance. We know that the left is violent because we see the reports, albeit toned down by the #FakeNews media, about Antifa violence or gay Democrats trying to kill people who support traditional marriage.

Further we know that the media will deep six any accounts of left wing violence; after all a Democrat tried to murder multiple US Congressman, and almost succeeded in killing Steve Scalise, and the media stopped covering the story after 3 days.

In some sense it's not surprising that the same people who believe that a man can wish himself into being a woman believe that they can wish a wave of white hate crimes into existence just by faking one.

A study in character; Smollett, Philips, and Sandman

You can tell a lot about a group by looking at who it holds up as heroes and who it trusts.

The left adore gay killing mass murdering Che Guevara for example while conservatives are generally big fans of Jesus.

Recent news has provided us with more insight into what matters to the left and to conservatives.

Jussie Smollett, a gay Black singer/actor, claimed that out of no where in the middle of the night in one of the most left wing parts of Chicago in the subzero cold two white men beat him while shouting their support for Trump.

Without hesitation the #FakeNews media believed Jussie, many reports didn't talk about an alleged assault for example, and condemned all Trump supporters for their obvious racism.

Even as the story began to fall apart, Jussie admitted that contrary to his earlier claims his rib wasn't broken for example, the left stood shoulder to shoulder with Jussie castigating those who would dare question the word of a gay Black man who, it later turned out, had already lied to police in another case.

At the present time even though there's a huge amount of evidence that Jussie paid two Black friends to fake the attack the same Democrats who rushed to condemn America and Trump now say that we should wait and see before making judgements not about America but about Jussie.

Effectively the current Democrat line is that it's ok to rush to judgement about Trump, Trump supporters, and America in general but it's an offense against nature to make reasonable judgements based on evidence about a gay Black Democrat; one more example of the #FakeNews media's double standard.

Nathan Philips is an old Native American activist who has lied about serving in Vietnam--he did spend 4 years in the Marines as a refrigerator repair technician but he was never in Vietnam-- and he claimed that a bunch of 16 year old boys swarmed him when he tried to prevent them from attacking a group of adult Blacks who had been hurling racist and homophobic insults at the boys.

Based on one snippet of video and with no attempt to find corroboration or even talk to the boys the #FakeNews media ran with a vicious attack story that painted young boys as monsters.

The certainty of the #FakeNews media reporting was so strong that even supposedly good people like the March for Life organizers and the boys school and their Bishop condemned the boys, Nicholas Sandman in particular, for the crime of "smirking" at a radical left wing organizer whose supporters it turns out were telling the boys to go back to Europe where they belonged.

As we now know, and as the media could have known if it spent a few hours researching the story, Phillips lied through his teeth.  The boys were showing no sign of attacking the Blacks and in fact hadn't even responded in kind with insults.  Further it was Phillips who marched into the middle of the group of young boys and began pounding his drum inches from the face of Sandman.  Phillips also lied about the boys chanting build a wall, as if that would be some sort of excuse for an adult man to threaten a bunch of young boys.

The fact that the #FakeNews media so readily believed Phillips tells us that to them his race gave him instant credibility. Even after he and his followers attempted to disrupt a Catholic mass the following day the media acted as though he, not the boys, was telling a credible story.  In the first interview of Sandman he was asked if he didn't feel that he should apologize for having the wrong facial expression while politely standing and not responding to an adult shoving a drum in his face while the adults friend said that white people should go back to Europe.

Even now some people are saying that the boys weren't respectful enough.  I'd say that they behaved like saints. When adults attack kids, and that was what Phillips and his group did, nothing the kids could have done in response short of violence would be inexcusable given that they are in fact 16 year old kids and the left constantly tells us that young gang bangers who murder people have to be treated with sympathy given that they're too young to be held accountable.

When Sandman came forward with his story some members of the #FakeNews media and the left admitted their mistake and moved on.  But most just dropped the issue. Fortunately Sandman's father isn't one to stand by and let his son's reputation be destroyed so the members of the media who simply ran with an unconfirmed story  and who didn't bother to even try and get Sandman's side are now going to be facing lawsuits.

So we can now see who the heroes of the #FakeNews media and the left are; two liars who tried to tar all white Americans, even children, as racist haters.

And the same group of leftists have shown that their enemies are kids wearing MAGA hats.  Can you imagine if conservative media attacked some kids who had been accosted by say the Westboro Baptists because those kids wore Obama hats?

The fact that the left automatically trusts anything that supports their lust for fascist power over we the people means that nothing they report can be trusted until it's confirmed by other sources.
