Vernon Jones speaks on Trump Rally and crowdsurfingBusiness October 19, 2020
Fresh off his weekend and an event where he "crowd-surfed" to a young man in a wheelchair because he wanted a picture, Georgia State Representative, Vernon Jones (D) says, "Let me be clear about one thing. I'm committed to this President. I believe in this President. I took a leap of faith and I believed in that crowd and that crowd caught me."
This was not Jones' first event in support of President Donald Trump either. He is campaigning for the President in the current elections saying that he is a life-long Democrat, but he would not vote for Joe Biden.
Comparing the two, Jones said that Biden has destroyed black men and women through mass incarceration. He has a record of doing nothing whereas Trump has produced results like the First Step Act restoring families.
Focusing on business and the economy, Jones listed several things as accomplishments in Trump's Presidency like correcting trade agreements to a fair agreement for America, grew the economy evidenced by businesses expanding and job growth, increased pay for those in military service, and supported historical black college funding.
Jones said, "He has done more in the past 47 months than Joe Biden has done in the past 47 years."
He added that people are being shamed for supporting Trump by the media and others as they are being portrayed as racists and bigots. But these people are just people. People who don't care what color you are, people who just love their country.
Many Democrats are turning in support of the President and for himself, according to Jones, because they see the craziness in their own party, the anger in their own party, and the violence in their own party.
Jones referenced the incident over the weekend of a Trump supporter who was attacked and lost two teeth in the beating he took. He said this is the game that these liberals are playing. They are trying to incite fear through violence, fear through the pandemic, and fear through the media.
In full support of Trump, he said in an interview that the President is the best hope in support of our first and second amendment rights. He later added that voting for Biden isn't even a vote for Biden as president. "He wouldn't be the president, it would be Kamala Harris," he said.
He added that she would be even scarier.
Going down the ballot from Trump, Jones also showed his support for Doug Collins and the work he has already done for Georgia as a Representative for the 9th Congressional District. While he didn't specifically comment on Loeffler, he did say that Warnock was the wrong choice saying, "… it's a vote for our civil liberties to be lost. It's a vote for illegal immigration. It's a vote for taking away the tax cut. He is dangerous."
However, he didn't stay long with this race and returned again to the Presidential Election and its importance as he said he was going to continue supporting and campaigning for Trump through his birthday even, October 31. He said that despite the polls, he wants Georgia to be all for the president in his re-election. Especially since the opposition has the major media supporting and propping up Biden's campaign.
Jones pointed to the media and incidents with Biden meeting with Russian officials. He asks why none of them are asking Biden about it and why he or anyone in his campaign wouldn't denounce the allegations or answer the questions.
With more events coming and debates on the way, Jones said he is looking to continue campaigning hard as he stands behind his words and endorsements.
It was a common theme during his statements. Constantly focused on the election, on Trump, and on the future of America. Many other stories are focused on his crowd surfing and the meaning or consequences of that day.
Jones stated in the video, "Show me the next crowd. I'll do the same thing."
Short Takes – Two WeeksOpinion, Politics October 19, 2020
Written and Submitted By: George McClellen
Americans have been conned by the outrageous lies of Democrats. Within two weeks America will know if it will remain the beacon of hope for all people or will we slide into the abyss of third world violence, totalitarism and slavery. True Americans are not going to allow Democrats with their mail in ballot schemes to ruin our country. Americans will not accept demented Joe Biden who would soon die, leaving Marxist Kamala Harris as President. No one wanted her!
Americas accepted values of civility were inexorably altered in Minneapolis, Mn, when Floyd George, a black two-bit thief, robber, fraudster and drug user, died at police hands while being arrested for passing a counterfeit twenty. Democrats saw an opportunity and went crazy elevating this thug to Saintly status, eulogizing his worthless life in funerals in three different cities. The "pity show" for poor Floyd George went on for days and gullible Americans, thinking they could assuage their whiteness, sent in thousands of dollars to a cadre of Marxist revolutionaries, mostly white morons, whose aim is to overthrow the United States of America and replace it with fascism.
What happens then? Fascism of course! We've already experienced multiple robberies and street violence to show respect and deep grief for the unlamented George. Violence swept the US and then went world wide into a planed and coordinated attack against western values. Nobody was left untouched. Black as well as white businesses were looted and burned, counter protests were quickly shut down with violence by Antifa's, Police ordered to stand down and streets cordoned off from fire and medical aid and, the murders of eighty-nine policemen.
The most useless presidential candidate ever to take the field, Joe Biden, fell to his knees and wept. Whose got a violin? I'll turn the weepy pages. So did the wicked old lady of the House, and her silly looking cohorts of Progressive sympathizers, wearing bits of African cloth around their necks, presumably to show solidarity with poor George Floyd. All lies!
Americans are beyond reasoning with these people. They lie! It's in their DNA and they cannot stop themselves. They are products of the teachings of now long dead Socialists like John Dewey, Betty Friedan. William James, Alfred Kinsey, Aldous Huxley Benjamin Bloom, B.F. Skinner, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, Saul Alinsky, Sigmund Freud, Margaret Sanger, Roger Baldwin and many others whose wicked philosophies are borne out on our streets today.
Joe Biden is a cannon ball on a pitching deck for Democrats. Even with a Teleprompter and aides standing at his elbow, he can't get it right. He refuses to answer questions about his son, Hunter Biden's wealthy involvement with both the Ukraine and China; denies having even consulted with Hunter on any of these issues and even in the face of irrefutable evidence, denies any wrong doing.
Democrats are totally corrupt! Everything to them is politics for power and they'll sign on with the devil to get it. Speaking of which, lurking in the wings is China's Emperor Ji jingping, aided and abetted by Hunter Biden who sold his fathers influence as VP to Americas enemies for millions.
This is the epitome of the Deep State Swamp that president Trump has promised to drain. They are fighting back with lies, lies and more lies and yet, we see no movement in the Halls of Justice to bring these creatures to book! We're two weeks away from a reckoning. If they win, Joe and Hunter may be the richest men in America, lackeys to Emperor Ji Jingping.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get angry! (18Oct20)
Wilkinson campaign for U.S. Congress focused on Georgia's agribusinessNews June 6, 2020
ELLIJAY, Ga. – State Senator John Wilkinson (R-Toccoa) understands the importance of agriculture and agribusiness to the state of Georgia so it's no surprise he has based his campaign for Ninth District Congress on his knowledge of and service to that industry.
A graduate of the University of Georgia with degrees in Agriculture and Education, Wilkinson was a guest on FYNTVCOM's Good Morning From the Office on Thursday (June 4).
"If you really look at America and what makes us great, one of the reasons we're great is we have the most abundant food, the safest food at the lowest price in the world," he said. "That makes a big difference. I heard someone say one time, 'we couldn't have planned a space shot and a moon walk if the people planning it had been concerned about where their next meal was coming from.'"
Wilkinson was raised on a farm in Stephens County. He has experience as a classroom teacher and served on the State Agricultural Education staff for 26 years. He has served as State Advisor to the Georgia Future Farmers of America Association, as well as the Georgia Young Farmer Association. He was recognized as the Outstanding Member of the National Association of Supervisors of Agricultural Education in 2006.
"Agriculture, agribusiness is the biggest business in our state," Wilkins told host Brian Pritchard. "It has a $72 billion impact on our economy. A lot of people think agriculture is focused in south Georgia. Peanuts and cotton and those kind of things are but out of that $72 billion, $32 billion of it is from the poultry industry and the poultry industry is concentrated in north Georgia in my senate district. Sen. District 50 for instance, four of those counties are in the top 10 in Georgia in farm income."
About one of every seven jobs in Georgia is directly linked to agriculture. "So, for Georgia to remain strong, for our country to remain strong, we've got to continue to be a leader in food production," he said.
Wilkinson has strong ties to U.S. Agriculture Secretary and former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue.
"I've known Secretary Perdue since he was a state senator from Houston County. When I began this campaign — when you could still get on an airplane in Atlanta and fly — I visited with Sect. Perdue in his office in D.C.," he said.
In 2016, then presidential candidate Donald Trump asked Wilkinson, Perdue and State Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black to serve on an agriculture and rural America advisory committee if he was elected.
Said Wilkinson, "I have served in that capacity with President Trump since that time. So I feel like my background in the industry of agriculture is beneficial to me and I think it will be a benefit to constituents in the Ninth District."
Asked about the current racial tension following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota police and the riots and protests that have followed, Wilkinson said, "I think it was very much a tragedy that turned my stomach to see the video and to think that could happen. Obviously, that was a tragedy and I don't think any reasonable person can be happy with that. I don't think we can just sit by and not take action. I think we have to be proactive. I think there are a lot of good people from all races and all nationalities in our country."
But, he said Americans should not lose sight of the fact that they live in the greatest country in the world. "If we travel to other countries and look at how they handle protests and those things, we realize how blessed we are to live in America."
He added that one of the greatest rights people have is the right to peacefully assembly and protest something they believe is not right. But, he, added, "The people who have come in with nightfall with violence and with guns and taken innocent lives of all races and done those kinds of things. I don't think we can afford to tolerate that kind of activity."
In closing, Wilkinson said, "You can tell a lot about a person by how the people they have grown up with and known all their life feel about them. Every race I've run in my home county, I've always gotten over 80 percent of the vote."
The Ninth Congressional District includes all of Banks, Dawson, Elbert, Fannin, Franklin, Gilmer, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Jackson, Lumpkin, Madison, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, White and parts of Clarke, Forsyth and Pickens counties.

Descent into DisarrayOpinion August 15, 2019
I'm not sure if what we see and hear from the Democrats right now is some clever new stratagem designed to amaze and mystify us if not deceive us outright, or might be the manifestation of the realities of life, that nobody wants to hear them anymore. Mass shootings and other social disasters are like iron filings to magnets for the media and the Democrats trying to find some plausible reason to impeach President Trump they can sell to voters.
Of course stories that don't fulfill their narrative, like the mass murders going on daily in Chicago's black neighborhoods, are ignored. Murders committed by illegal immigrants already kicked out of America multiple times, are excused for some socially touchy excuse.
This score of Democrats campaigning to replace Donald Trump, are like freaks in a midway sideshow. They tell blatant lies so often that they actually start believing them themselves. The Democrat party has no platform that Americans could rally around, but they have twenty different offerings, all sounding the same theme, 'get rid of Trump, get rid of guns, abandon your religious beliefs and trust us,' that not only confuses people, but bores 'em to death as well. Think "tune out." Speaking of religious beliefs, if Islam refuses to neutralize their beliefs, and Democrats refuse to chastise them, why then should Christians even consider neutralizing the teachings of Christ? Think about that one.
The Democrats pursuit of Trump is in disarray. What happened to "Mueller?" Two years of wasted money and time only to proved that Donald Trump was right all along. Only Jerry Nadler, the nimrod Democrat committee chairman, still believes there's hope that the discredited Muller investigation, that treasonous exercise by the Deep States FBI, DoJ and the CIA to overthrow the President, might still contain some fragment of evidence the could sweep Trump from office. He's delusional and there's evidence enough to call the 'white coat detail' to escort him from his seat as chairman to the nut house. Adam Schiff has already turned cold on Mueller.
To be sure, the Democrat Party of JFK, no longer exists. Today's party, however they want to call themselves, are dangerous because they're now openly communist in their philosophies, fascist in their pronouncements and delusional in their beliefs. Americans are in no way Marxist oriented, except perhaps, for the recent graduates from our Marxist infested colleges filling our voter rolls. Where does the Left's Shock Troops, the black clad Antifa's, come from? Do they act for the Democrat like Hisbollah and Hamas does for Iran? Just asking!
Apart from lacking ideas, the Democrat Party has become the party of excuses because they have no solutions except first, they need to regain power so they can make society fair by leveling the playing field so that all citizens, rich and poor alike, can suffer equally like we see in Venezuela right now. Wouldn't that be wonderful? The Democrats are in disarray and are intent on taking the rest of us down with them.
But enough of disarray, how about corruption? Once, it took old time politicians several years in congress to become corrupt and amass the wealth that made them millionaires in retirement. Radical activist AOC, a pole dancing socialist bar tender, inside of one year as a freshman congress-woman, has already skimmed off more than a million dollars in campaign donations to satisfy her lust for fine living. Well, reportedly, her Chief of Staff, author of the Green New Deal, actually did it but the buck stops with her. It does for everybody else.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (14Aug19)
Easy Credit, America's Tar BabyOpinion August 14, 2019
While the Democrats are spinning out of control and the media is focused on Trump's destruction, and fake news fills our TV sets, let's take a look at a serious issue facing us.
Okay, America is a mess, politically, socially, and economically. Yes, the economy is humming along and jobs are widely available, but the money is phony. We are pawns in the hands of the world bankers and money manipulators, dependent on them for every dollar we think we earn and spend when every dollar really only represents our personal IOU note of debt to them! In effect we exist by debt and deficit spending, in other words, easy credit!
So, why has this practice of living off credit/debt become so common and why has it been allowed to continue? First, any changes to existing laws on spending limits, etc. requires a legislative process! But alas, politicians, being the parasites they are, benefit from the existing monetary system. Their greed and avarice is boundless. Why do you suppose that poor politicians retire wealthy after only a few years in service but a soldier doesn't? Their well-paying conflict of interest schemes are solidly entrenched and once new politicians are compromised, they're in forever like getting stuck on that ol' Uncle Remus's Tar Baby.
Several questions arise. How do we find honest politicians? Terms limits have been proposed but no politician worth his life, would sponsor such a bill or, if he did, it would never get an affirmative vote. That's how democracy really works. We vote the crooks in ourselves and they vote for themselves.
Draining the Swamp, as Trump promised, was a harder task than expected. Trump promised to do it and he's working on it but, anyone without Trump's personal strength to resist the constant scurrilous political attacks against him, would have been gone weeks after their inauguration. Instead, because of Trump's strength, the failed FBI coup using that swamp scoundrel, the honorable Robert Mueller as its spear point, actually exposed the worst of the decadent DC Swamp Creatures proving the Deep State does exist. They should be gone soon.
Trump's arrival, a complete shock to the DC political system threatens their money machine so carefully crafted over the past decades; but, that money machine itself has changed. Today we are totally dependent on the commercial private bank system, including the Federal Reserve as every dollar in circulation is a borrowed one. What makes the system work is the continued printing of valueless fiat money and dispersing it rapidly into the system with low interest rates. There's that tar baby again! Maybe we should invest in green ink.
When banks print debt money we prosper; when they don't, we'll see recession and hard times. Once we understand what's in the empty cash bucket were looking into, it seems we're in a hopeless position to the point of absurdity and yet, all the signs and warnings are out there for us to see, just garbled up and papered over to confuse us.
Does our system of economic debt portend America's demise? Will it happen before Islam gets here and our wealth lies in the camels we own? Are we capable of repairing the situation or do we still rely on our elected, mostly corrupt politicians, to do the right thing?
Who has a vested interest in not wanting changes? Well, tax accountants for sure. Politicians of course, and special interest groups because it's all about money. It's their vested interest in wealth creation and It's scandalous yet, we're moved to do nothing. That's how revolutions are born, out of politicians doing nothing.
Most folks look to the Fed to solve the credit/debt crisis. Can it? No! It would be impossible as the banksters created it. All this subprime lending and collateralized debt was a scam from the beginning. There is no added value anywhere. Everything in America is paper shuffling. It's a paper bubble empire backed by paper fiat money. It has to eventually shake itself out or collapse, if not this time it will come later, during most of our lifetimes, i.e.: soon!
How do we get good people to send up there? How do we recruit, vet and elect intelligent, yet courageous people who are smart enough not to get entrapped in the tar baby morass that is the political cash machine and yet not be afraid to confront the Progressive kill machine that is the Marxist Democrat party? Don't be fooled. They might be in disarray, but they're not retreating in confusion.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
White Supremacy. What is It?Opinion August 7, 2019
Samuel Adams once said: "Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt." By that clear definition, America is no longer a moral country but one dragged into corruption by adherents to the political philosophy of Karl Marx. These people, unchallenged, were first allowed to alter our educational curriculum; then suborn our Christian church's, and then to challenge our codes of morality that was once the glue of a prosperous society. Today we're at each others throats.
The US Constitution that Sam Adams so revered, guarantees Americans the right to pursue happiness. It does not guarantee happiness, nor misery either, but just the right to pursue it, grow wealthy or destitute, according to an individual abilities. European whites accepted the challenge and many prospered. I do not ignore the era of slavery but that odious practice was ended by whites and reparations, as there were in that day, were made.
But Marxists eschew that notion arguing that too many Americans still don't share in the fruits of their own industry, that fairness requires a level playing field and that it's their duty to see that happen. That's why they pushed affirmative action programs in the 80's, and an unreasonable minimum wage scheme today, demanding that businesses pay their employees the same wage, even those entry grade jobs that require no experience. Talk about enfranchising discontent!
That policy is driving many small business's to close or automate. Jobs are lost, vital work experiences is gone and the streets fill up with disaffected, untrained youths who only find solace and acceptance in tribal groups that accept their status, to protest the establishment, rob and steal and turn to drugs to assuage the pain of their uselessness.
I, for one will not allow any politician, especially a Democrat of color (just to be polite), to stigmatize me as a pejorative, in the white racist box. I've nothing to be ashamed about as there's nothing wrong with being white. Whites led the way out of European oppression; whites were supreme in advancing grand philosophical concepts explaining man's nature to God; in revealing the moral code that allowed everyone to live amicably with their neighbors. I'm white unashamed about it and I won't apologize for it. I never owned slaves, or Puerto Ricans, and my family never owned slaves. I don't intend to start now, so I owe them nothing except that they should enjoy the same rights I have to pursue happiness.
I supported Herman Cain when he stood for President and I'll support Elbert Guillory in Louisiana and John James in Michigan, two Americans of African descent, both running for Senate. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris are not deserving of my attention except to note that neither has a chance against the success of Donald Trump. Neither can overcome the really stupid comments they've made, racist and otherwise, all ignored by the media, but clearly understood by us deplorable's.
The other "white" nimrods in the Democrat queue are desperately trying to convince us they are not in fact, racists simply because they are white. Doing so is an exercise in futility. Being a white Liberal Democrat will be no proof against their own destruction if the surge of third world crackpots, lacking any understanding of the principles of America's foundation, succeed in supplanting western European traditions and America's true greatness. That's a sure formula for facing the loss of centuries of civilized traditions by a regressive dash back into the 14th century, rule by despots and characterized by endless wars and tribal conflicts.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
Instinctively Knowing Nonsense When We See ItOpinion July 22, 2019
I think everybody instinctively knows just how valuable the "Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse" have become to Donald Trumps re-election. Of the four, two are undeniably and admittedly strong adherents of Islam, meaning they have ulterior motives for wanting to trash and fundamentally change America. They want America as an Islamic Caliphate obedient to Shariah law, dictated to by Islamic Iman's. There can be no other possible explanation for them being in Congress.
The other two ethereal equestrians, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley, are simply American born nincompoop's brainwashed in the Progressive style, who don't even take the trouble to understand the basic rules of economics that fund any country's growth and prosperity, or the rules of decency that should make society work smoothly. Trump understands the rules and he baits them shamelessly.
Lazy thinkers, like the crop of Marxists snowflakes that daily amuse us with their whining, simply believe that taxes snatched from the coffers of the greedy 1% of Americas wealth creators, and the pittance extracted from the wallets of working class people, will help them 'invest' in their promises of free education, free health care and free housing for all, as well as a free monthly check to cover expenses. When a Democrat says they will "invest" they mean they'll not be spending their money, but ours. That's the Socialist Utopia in a nutshell. I love the thought of Utopia. I fondly remember an old song sung by balladeer Burl Ives called the 'Big Rock Candy Mountains. Now that was utopia…but we instinctively knew it didn't exist!
The Democrat Progressives and the Muslim jihadists now come together as one but, only to the point of overthrowing, either violently or by stealth, the United States of America. If and when they arrive at that point, i.e.: the defeat of America, the Jihadists will then become the crocodile Winston Churchill warned us of, and will eat the Progressives last. But eat 'em they will because, Progressives live and rule by their feelings while Jihadists live and rule by the Qur'an!
Presently, America, founded on the Constitutional principles of freedom, independence and representative government, lies as an inconvenient truth to the fractured Democrat party because the Constitution inhibits them from acting on their feelings. To the adherents of Islam, the Constitution has no meaning at all except when it can be used to advance their demands for inclusion, or claim they are victims of islamaphobia and hate crimes.
To all muslims everywhere, nothing, absolutely nothing supplants the Prophet Mohammad, the Qur'an and Shariah law. Nothing, Period!!! When called upon, all muslims will react as the Qur'an directs as they are doing now all over Europe, the Middle-east and non- muslim Africa.
Has anybody considered that these Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse, or the Gang of Four as you like, could really do the legislative damage they are doing to Congress by themselves? Naw! The four are really slaves in the political harem that is run by, wait for it – a man! Yes, Saikat Chakrabarti. His family is wealthy and he uses their money to fund Alex Ocasio Cortez's campaign. He set's the agenda and her talking points. The Green New Deal is his. He fronts a group called "A Brand New Congress" with the explicit aim of ridding Congress of old white Americans and repopulate it with radicals. His prime target is Nancy Pelosi. Other Democrat Representatives have called for AOC to reign him in. She can't. He's the one in charge. He calls the shots and the harem slaves will do what they're told.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
GIVING TERRORISTS THE STOREOpinion June 26, 2019
The United States' patience with Iran is up against some really bad behavior of late.
Last week, Iran bombed two oil tankers, one from Norway, one from Japan, all carrying oil to US allies.
They successfully shot down one US drone. They came very close to getting a rocket or two in their pockets. To his credit, Trump decided to practice strategy and now has them guessing.
Since the Shah of Iran passed in the 1970's, we have struggled with Iran.
Our problem is not with the majority of her people, but with her radical religious leaders, and the fanatics they create.
Jimmy Carter was president when radical students took over the American Embassy, taking the staff hostage. They held the entire consulate staff for 444 days until Ronald Reagan took the presidency. The hostages were promptly let go, knowing that Reagan would never tolerate the situation.
Since Reagan, the policy has been strong financial and other sanctions against Iran.
Supposedly, the US does not negotiate with terrorists, or did we?
Ex-president Obama and John Kerry negotiated with Iran to release some of the financial sanctions that we have held against them in the horrible deal that President Trump withdrew from in May of 2018.
This agreement would have released 7 billion dollars over a period of time if they cooperate with the criteria set down by the US, et al.
Without the permission of Congress, then president Obama sent the rogue regime pallet of cash to the tune of 1.7 billion, plus 400 million in an initial settlement.
What exactly has Iran agreed to do?
According to Iran, they have really agreed to do nothing. They have agreed to dismantle nothing.
In fact, they touted a major win over the United States and her allies. They felt the deal had given in to their demands, not vice versa.
Since Iran is the leading exporter of terror and terrorists, what did the 1.7 billion dollars buy?
That kind of money seriously financed many more terror cells and terrorists, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, already known to be on Iran's payroll. Not to mention buy more nuclear materials and scientists to enrich them to weapons grade.
Now, they are desperate for money to continue to fund their terrorist cells, while they still quest for a nuclear weapon.
New sanctions under the Trump administration are really cramping their cash flow. This week, President Trump put PERSONAL sanctions on Rouhani, Iran's religious leader. His assets have now been frozen.
Rouhani and his followers are invested in the hatred of the US and Israel.
The people chant "Death to America."
Isn't it time to listen to what this nation is saying?
They lust to wipe Israel out. They threaten her daily.
Why do the European Allies cling to the original deal to give Iran everything they want without much in return? Is it just for the oil, or something more?
Germany is in Russia's pocket for a pipeline, another deal that will most likely end in tears.
If this train wreck of an agenda thrives in Europe, they will regret it as well.
Iran is a loose cannon, and thankfully, this administration is treating it accordingly.
The Queen is Dead, Long Live the KingOpinion May 14, 2019
The Queen is Dead, Long Live the King
Daily, we are entertained by the apparent implosion of the Democrat Party in their hysteria at their failed multiple schemes to oust Donald Trump from the Presidency. Especially hurtful to Democrats was the conclusion of the Mueller report, a peripeteia which, like Hillary Clinton was unable to do in 2016, they can't do now, accept defeat and move on. They don't want to move on but, the non-issue has taken our eyes off the ball, their true goal, the control of the Congress.
Nancy Pelosi, titular head of the House and the Democrats that abide therein, speaks effortlessly with her hands but articulates in a nearly undecipherable 'congressese' using terms and ideas that have long lost their luster and appeal. Other old time Democrats, now committee chairmen like Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters and John Lewis, spout complete impeachment nonsense about further prosecuting the failed Mueller Report because "there has to be something in there that was missed." The clue words in that sentence is "old time."
These "old time" Democrats may or may not be aware of what's coming because their egos and age, cloud their eyes, but they are being replaced, one congressional district at a time, by young socialists. In their eyes, Republican challengers are to be brushed aside as well. They are pushing the Socialist message, one, because of the heavy indebtedness of college students, two, because they believe government should supply health care and wages and, three, Capitalist hold all the money, and they don't. Laugh if you will but those ideas are taking hold.
The best example is Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, a college educated but ignorant nymphette from the Bronx who, as silly as she sounds, is still 'sounding.' Worse, young folk are listening. We Conservatives may laugh at her ideas and mark them down as silly 'socialist' notions, which they are, but a lot of American's aren't. Many are listening and we should be alarmed.
Socialists, fifty years ago or longer, infiltrated the Democrat Party, rotted it out from within, and took over. Now the Marxist/Communists are inside moving to replace them. Makes no difference if they are bartenders or dancers, or don't know a lick about their collage major subject, so long as their presence in Congress can foul up the works like we're seeing now; they disdain the old timers of the Democrat Party; will snatch the public microphones away and repeat their silly nonsense. Nancy is no longer in control of the Democrat message, the radicals are.
Can we really believe that AOC actually beat a long established old time Democrat politician because of her dancing charms? I don't think so. She won because the far-left puppet masters saw in her a dedicated Bernie Sanders socialist and picked her to run. Knowing her district has a low voter turnout profile they sponsored her election campaign to do exactly what they accomplished, put a young, noisy Socialist in Congress. This is going to go on and on.
Where did the two Muslim women come from? How did they come to be Congress? They don't even believe in America. Certainly not from appealing to a vast network of voters. I argue that because the US Constitution and Shariah law are totally incompatible, muslims should automatically be disqualified from holding any office at any level in America, and yet, they're taking over small cities and towns across the nation under threats of Islamaphobia and racism.
Finally, the obdurate Hillary Clinton is so lost in her dream world that I suspect, like Mary Todd Lincoln, she may one day end up in an asylum babbling about her election being stolen, long before she heads for prison. It's a sad commentary of our times but the Queen is dead, long live the King. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the only way.
Termites (Democrats) in the HouseOpinion June 3, 2019
Termites (Democrats) in the House
Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is in California conniving with the fruitcake politicians at the California Democrat State Convention. Succumbing to the raucous chants of "Impeach, Impeach," Nancy was obligated to agree to move in the direction of impeaching Donald Trump. Every story has a "but" behind it. But, hidden in the context of her rhetoric, she argued for building an "ironclad case" to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump.
It will die there because Nancy knows she will never, ever obtain anything "Ironclad" to remove the President let alone place a case before Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, that would even be considered let alone voted on. That leavers her the excuse she needs to beg off and do nothing, and she knows it.
The Democrats impeachment mantra, if pursued, very probably may destroy the Democrat Party as we know it. In the debris left in the wake of its demise, there will still be the radical Progressives, including most of those now running to be Democrat candidate to replace Trump. The slogging will be long, hard and arduous because they have no plans to carry America forward, except socialism. They are bereft of any vision to increase America's productivity to levels higher than President Trump has brought them. They have nothing and they will lose!
The Democrat Party has work like termites in an old house to eat the core out of what made America Great. The great Termite Party made welfare a Right, not education to learn and advance, but a necessity to survive. Welfare was used specifically to enslave Americans of African Descent by destroying the Black nuclear family. The male head of the family must be employed or not in the household, otherwise, no welfare for the family. Thus, we have still have single Black mothers as heads of household with the uninvolved male hanging around to breed, leaving the fatherless household without male guidance, without hope and no future.
As a remedy, the party of Termites inflicted upon us their "Affirmative Action" scheme thus reducing the quality of American production and all but destroying Americas once thriving "work ethic." By their Progressivism, they have turned Americas Judeo-Christian codes of social morality to dust by characterizing Christian churches and the families who attended them as ignorant "clingers." To compound the rot, the Termite Party has intruded into nearly every American youth program to modify children's behavior by glorifying homosexuality, perversion and transgenderism as natural acts of love, debasing at the same time any moral objections on the grounds a silly premise and a false notion, It's the "I'm okay, you're okay!" mantra.!
To the rising crescendo of "Impeach, Impeach," apart from her idiotic anti-Trump comments, Pelosi said: "President Trump will be held accountable for his actions. In the Congress, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion, we will defend our democracy." When the said: "Our Democracy" she treads on a narrow path. Conservatives, especially those few left in the Republican Party, should cease using the word Democracy. The Democrats have ruined it, like the word "Gay!" Democracy means majority rule. The word is not found in the Constitution. Simply put, Democracy is "two wolves and a sheep discussing what to have for dinner."
The Termite Party never expected the results of their rigged 2016 election. They got instead, a non-politician with practical business acumen to Make America Great Again and their program to "democratize" has thrown them totally off kilter. In their futile attempts to repair the damage, they only expose more of their hypocrisy. How do we get rid of Termites?
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
What's the Crisis?Opinion May 23, 2019
What's the Crisis?
What is being revealed right before our very eyes is not, as Nancy Pelosi would have us accept, a Constitutional crisis, but rather, a crisis of government. We have too much government, too much money to be made being in government, too little work done for the benefit of American voters, and too many really stupid people who don't realize they are really stupid people.
That's the crisis that Donald Trump recognized when he decided America needed to be saved and he was the one who would do it. The moderate Republican party, no longer fulfilling its role as the champion of constitutional conservatism, is struggling to stay relevant to what America's Marxists, disguised as the Democrat party, really want. The "Never Trumpers," clinging to the political corruption that keeps them relevant, hate Trump because he won't play the game their way. That's the crisis. Neither do they see the tsunami coming that will overwhelm them.
What we are witnessing is push back from Trump like they've never experienced before! Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schemers trekked to the White House, supposedly for a meeting with the President on Infrastructure funding, but really with the intention to ambush the President. They attacked Trump on funding issues by throwing out threats of investigations, impeachment and cover-ups to queer the deal. President Trump doesn't suffer fools and will not be bullied, so he walked out on 'em. Expect the House, under Democrat leadership, to produce nothing for the next year and a half except more hysteria.
They lost, but Trump, they say, must be guilty of something. That uncouth Trump must be corrupt but, he ignores them by refusing to permit White House staffers to testify about their interactions with him. For the Democrats, a conservative, if not playing their game, is grounds for impeachment. The problem is, Democrats don't have the evidence they want or any other reason to get rid of him. But, that's not stopping 'em! They have the House and its powers of oversight and by Gawd, they're going to use it. I think Trump is safe and he knows it.
Consider the alternative. A Jeb Bush, John Kasich or any other of the "Never Trumpers" who fancy themselves 'moderate' Republicans, would immediately have rolled over onto their backs at Nancy's first bark to acquiesce to Democrats demands while licking the hand that beats them. For some inexplicable reason the Democrats firmly believe the stupid American voters are with them in hating Donald Trump and in wanting him to be gone.
Consider what the Democrats have already given us. A return of infectious disease's by opening the borders to illegals who are then, cost free, housed, educated, provided free medical care and food, just for their vote. Democrats have forced our children to face sexual perverts with this transgender BS, multi-sex restrooms, males in women's sports, transgender classes in our schools, but, worse, condoning the evil of Islam to be taught in our schools, but not allowing the morals found in Christianity to even be recognized.
Upon what basis do Democrats believe they are not only fit to lead, but expect to lead because it is their divine right? Our political system was the best going. When even an unenlightened bartender, with some effort at campaigning against a career politician, can get elected to the deliberative body that is our Congress, that's how it's supposed to work. Muslims, who hate America, deny that our inalienable Constitutional rights beats Shariah Law. These wicked people are now in our congress, like a cancer. How much damage will they do before they're exposed for what they really are, fifth columnist for Islam? That's also a major crisis.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
Absolute Dysfunction and Eggs!Opinion April 23, 2019
Absolute Dysfunction and Eggs!
Let's see if we can figure this one out. Three hundred people, including at least three Americans, were murdered and five hundred injured, in separate Islamic attacks against two Christian churches and three hotels in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) on Easter Sunday. If you didn't know that, I recommend you should urgently reevaluate your news gathering habits. The phony Mueller business is over at last. Let it go!
The mainstream media, the propaganda arm of the Progressive Left, don't want to share these ugly stories of Muslims murdering Christians with you lest you become Islamaphobic in the process. No, not al all! Islam is the religion of peace, isn't it?
The MSM is motivated to flood the airways with Progressive drivel. For example, while Sri Lanka burns, Elizabeth, the phony Indian, Warren, in her feckless attempt to charge up her flagging presidential campaign, doesn't even mention the deadly Islamic Easter attack in Sri Lanka, but wants to turn Americans into pot heads. She says "Pot" can be an economic boon to the poor, destitute denizens of neighborhoods that prosperity forgot; that vast throng of poor, uneducated, inept, unqualified unemployable creatures who have not shared in the spoils of Capitalism. Let's give them money.
Pocahontas is not alone. The wannabe Mexican fool Señor "Beto" O'Rourke, thinks he was gifted with the looks, charm and erudition of JFK, while the former mayor of South Bend, Ind, Greg what's his name, hyped by a media love fest, has gone off the rails himself defending Socialism as a panacea for America's problems. AOC demonstrates, every time she opens her mouth, why the cost of her education was money misspent. These people are all the same, identical, leaderless and ignorant, like a carton of eggs.
I put a carton of a dozen fresh eggs in my fridge yesterday, added three eggs on top from the previous carton and, Lo!, fifteen white eggs that look exactly the same, like the Democrat contenders for President. They all sound the same, say the same things, each one out shouting the others to be heard about the same things…nothing! Can I refer to the Democrats as "eggs" now? Would it be understood? Will anyone understand "eggs" as a metaphor for sameness?
Not even a dozen intelligent eggs can possibly do what Donald Trump has done to Make America Great Again, but they all want the same things for Americans, open borders to allow immigration, including invading Muslims, free education, free healthcare, free housing, and monthly salaries whether they have a job or not. The Democrats promise of a socialist utopia remains as big a scam as Mueller's investigation was. America is not a Socialist country!
This Democrat hysteria over demands for results already provided, on a two year investigation already concluded, is a direct reflection of the dysfunction that the leaderless and inept Democrat party has become. If they were real eggs, they should be scrambled by now. As a political observer, I'm not sure I any longer know how best to describe the Democrat party, as fragile eggs or as further evidence the inmates are running the institution.
The Democrats, now in tatters, are passing through the five stages of Trump: grief, anger, bargaining, depression and soon, we hope, acceptance. This is seen in the House of Representatives, in the context that the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, is no longer captain of her ship, but is trying to tut-tut over a primary class of ignorant children, em, I mean eggs!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
Diagram for Civil WarOpinion June 3, 2019
Diagram for Civil War
What sane, logical thinking person, who isn't a Progressive, could possibly believe the opusculum that was presented by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, opining publicly, in lieu of facing a Congressional Committee hearing with Republicans on it, the sanctimonious nonsense that fell from his lips. Complete rubbish! Mueller is and has always been a "never Trumper" and he proved it beyond all doubt. His role was integral to saving the Deep State.
By the speed with which the Democrats seized on Mueller's twisted meanings, i.e.: "If we had confidence the president didn't commit a crime we would have said so," indicating that there was something indeed, Trump did that requires congressional over-site. It convinces me that the true believers who have feasted for so long at the table of the 'Elite' Deep State, believe we are all stupid and really need their guidance. That includes the insufferable Robert Mueller.
His comments obfuscated his official clearance of Donald Trump of colluding with the Russians, or obstructing the investigation yet, with the clever manipulation of words, he left the Democrat crazies and their Leftist media propaganda organs, armed with enough doubt to pursue their obstruction of government for another year and a half. Now, Nancy Pelosi's Leftist crazies are demanding Trumps immediate impeachment. Clearly, Pelosi has lost control. The Democrat Party, including all its presidential contenders, have become a mere babbling rabble. Pelosi has a divided house and I cannot see her pulling it together again. In fact, it needs to be destroyed.
Their division illuminates what we all suspected, that the American body politic is infested by a cancerous disease, an elitist cabal that has eroded American values to the point that all that was good is now bad and etc.. They consider themselves our betters entitled to rule simply because they believe they know better how to make everything equal and fair for all people, except them of course, because they are our betters. Didn't we read this story in Orwell's Animal Farm?
We have two seriously competing ideas about how government should be run. First and definitely very American, is Representative government according to the Constitution that ensures all citizens their right to self-determination, freedom of speech, religion and assembly and even freedom of self-defense. The other is a completely opposite philosophy that firmly asserts that government, run by experts schooled according to the Gospel of Karl Marx, are better prepared to equalize government for all, and that all people have the same opportunity to serve the State which will then feed, house and educate them for free. "From You according to your ability, to you according to your need."
The American 'Left,' having almost achieved their goal of complete success of altering American minds, an essential first step, while ignoring us simple deplorable's in fly-over country, are now on the ropes, because we have been awakened by Donald Trump to see the real dangers facing us. America has arrived at the point for a reckoning. How will it develop? The Progressives, who have spent decades incrementally installing socialism into the fabric of American politics by attacking family values, American history and religion, have been stymied by Trumps 'Bull in a China Shop" style of leadership. Backed into a corner and in danger of losing all, they won't go without a fight, a real one if necessary, to hold on to what they got.
Right now, a coming civil war can be averted simply by the arrests, trials and convictions of the Deep State elites who had the audacity to violate their oaths and now stand suspected of treason against the US Commander-in-Chief. Their wicked plan has been thrust into the disinfecting cure of bright sunlight. The opportunity to strike back should not be squandered.
Anatomy of CorruptionOpinion May 20, 2019
Anatomy of Corruption
Americans are just now realizing how close to the brink of oblivion we were had Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election. Nothing could be more palimpsest than the quickly unfolding layers of official corruption, once denied, that is the "Deep State." There's one and its tentacles run deep.
Mueller's inquiry left no stone unturned in trying to prove that Trump and/or his campaign team colluded with the Russians causing the anointed one, Queen Hillary, to lose, while avoiding completely Hillary Clintons and the DNC's real collusion with the Russians. Answer to those questions now fall to Attorney General Barr who's already batting away the tears of fear from those who will be affected. The Buck should stop at Obama. He owns it all.
As Atty. General Barr's investigations commence into finding the cause and effect, the Who, What, Where, When and Why any investigation requires, the How shows the starting results that the conspirators own clumsiness revealed. It makes gangrene look good by comparison.
Government normally works like a poorly oiled machine with lines of communication up and down, often interrupted by mid-level managers who don't like the goals sought or want to alter already decisions made. The now revealed layers of corruption shows how deep the rot had permeated the FBI, DoJ, CIA, IRS and DCI, each with some law enforcement element to it that could send any one of us to prison, for anything or for nothing. Scary!
In ancient times, groups of similar's gathered together for protection. A leader was selected based upon his ability to fight and protect them (Clans). Societies then divide themselves into smaller groups (Septs) under the titular leadership of the main Chief by cooperation and agreement and acknowledgement of that up chain of command. Its called respect.
In our times, leadership, like in Congress, by right, goes to the oldest, not the best. When those groups divide because they don't get along, then leadership has to be decisively brutal. For example, Nancy Pelosi, a nitwit, is "Speaker" not because she's a tough leader who drinks wine from the skulls of her enemies, but because she's the oldest. AOC on the other hand, in her first two months in her tribe, has already challenged Pelosi for the leadership, not practically, but figuratively because people naturally follow the popular leader.
Too retain their power, and its 'perks,' a leader, including their hangers-on, have to be respected. Where is it in the Democrat Party today? Twenty-three Democrat wannabe's presidents clawing with each other for hegemony over the others, only stopping short of bashing in the others skulls?
They do this while Americas real Clan Chief, the wizard of human relations, Donald Trump, contemptuously looks down from his seat in the Oval Office and mocks them cruelly for their incompetence, ignorance and weakness. Trump has shown Americans what Presidential leadership should be. Interruptions to the flow of authority by deep state implants will soon end. Trump will then be free to continue breaking away the chains of socialism the Democrats have been hanging around American's necks for decades. Disrespectful threats to Trumps leadership fall off his back like water off a ducks back.
Who can have any respect for Rep. Jerry Nadler or Adam Schiffer, whiners both, incapable of striking a fatal blow. They are leaders because of being in Congress far too long, not because they know what the hell they're doing. But they can do no less because they too have been corrupted by the very machine they live in, political power. Nadler has his 'subpoena power' How's that working for him? Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (19May19)
Social Engineering America to DeathOpinion April 3, 2019
Social Engineering America to Death
Social engineering schemes, such as the Progressive followers of Saul Alinsky (Democrats), keep applying by following his Rules for Radicals, constitute the deliberate and illegal attempt to change our society and our culture to meet societal norms that lay far outside the guidelines of the US Constitution. Indeed, Progressives firmly believe America is the center of all the world's evils and the US Constitution that supports it, stands as an impediment to world social justice and must be done away with, one amendment at at time, if necessary.
Case in point, the constant progressive attack against the 2nd Amendment. It is the one defense Americans possess that can prevent the radical takeover of America. We also see a vigorous attack on our 1st Amendment rights coming from several fronts. Look at the first line": "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." That's it, yet Progressives scream government(s) cannot recognize prayer, posting of the Ten Commandments or support Christian based activities because of some non-existent "Separation of Church and State" nonsense that's not in there. As often as I have read that sentence, I'm still unable to lay my finger on any word that prohibits government from supporting or participating in any religious activity, not monetarily of course, but morally. Yet the "Left" persists on insisting that the 'separation of church and state' is a point of law not to be violated and we believe 'em!
What the 1st amendment does state, unequivocally, is that Government shall not establish an official state church, a reaction to the religious turmoil that plunged Great Britain into bloody conflict for generations. That will become a mute point of course, when adherents of Islam start rising as elected government officials to the point they will, by their sheer numbers alone, out number and out vote non-muslims (infidels) and replace the Constitution with Sharia Law.
Free speech is also under attack, not so subtly, by the media, Facebook and Twitter crowd simply by not posting conservative opinions. The radical take over of many colleges and universities forbid Conservative speakers on campus. They will assault conservative students dispensing Trump hats, etc., and are encouraged by school administrations to do so. The Radicals have so scared college administrations with the threat of violence, most officials, if not already radicalized, dare not complain. If Conservatives assemble peaceably, they are attacked by radical goon squads (antifa's, BLM) and even made to look like the conservatives started it.
Presently, Congressional Democrats adamantly refuse to protect our borders from invasion by the hoards of peons from Mexico and Central America, schooled to ask for 'asylum.' Suborning this invasion is to support social engineering designed to increase Progressives voter rolls. Now, the southern invasion is overwhelming the CBP's efforts to stem the tide, another Alinsky rule, they will soon overwhelm our financial ability to support 'em as well. Asylum requests should only be heard at US Embassy's and Consulates, not at borders.
Why do we need to accept them? Because Democrats insisted "it was the thing to do, it's who we are," drawing on our sympathies as Americans who are always ready to help the poor and destitute, while they gun down, rape and murder our own citizens. That day, I believe, is soon coming to an end. We cannot afford to support other countries citizens. That doesn't matter to Democrats. They'll simply say take the funds from Defense and, you're racist if you don't! Trump will not do that, but he'll take the funds from those countries we are already supporting.
Our banking laws are a hinderance to the control of unwanted foreign populations demanding to stay here because they're already here. All foreigners here should be required to establish American banking accounts. No money sent abroad without an American bank account.
For example, If an American retires to Mexico, the retiree(s) cannot continue to maintain their American bank accounts. They must open a Mexican bank account. Why don't we do that? Why can we not forbid the telegraphing of cash money orders via Wester Union to foreign countries, without going first through American Banks? Control the money and you control the population.
If we stopped financial support to them when they do get here, the monetary draw to come would cease. Those already here illegally, should be advised they have three months to sell their property, keep the receipts and return to their home countries or, the American government will do it for them and keep the proceeds to help defray the cost of their evacuation.
Finally, I want to know by what measure illegals are entitled to my Social Security money, my medicare benefits and our tax money for their education and housing. That was a Progressive Democrat idea, because "we're good people and mean well." Turn off the money spigot at all levels and the invasion(s) will cease. We owe these people nothing!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
Cultural Marxism, Its Ugly EffectOpinion March 27, 2019
Cultural Marxism, Its Ugly Effect
The obdurate Left, especially the House leadership, as in the Democrat led Judicial and Intelligence committees, as well as their Progressive base, remain completely discombobulated with the 'shocking' results (for them) of the conclusion of Mueller's two years and millions of dollar in expenses spent in an investigation that failed to produce what they wanted, the negation of the 2016 election, i.e.: the removal of Donald Trump from the Presidency.
Their uncontrollable anguish, while signaling the story's evanescence, also reveals their staunch determination to hang on to the "Collusion" issue despite the Mueller Reports conclusion. To keep the public's interest actually signals, even to the most casual observer, their desperation at ending Trump's Swamp draining exercise and their realization that "it ain't going to happen."
When the media's hard news stories, nearly always lies wrapped in deceit and enveloped in authenticity and have run their course, they are going nowhere because they quickly lose a weary, scandal hungry public. Breathless CNN and MSNBC announcements of the Presidents imminent demise that never materialize, soon bores the public to death and the story atrophies, as it should, as does the media's veracity. It is the media that sets the daily storyline, except when Trump "Tweets," and nobody will care anymore. We're there now.
The salacious Trump Collusion story will now, or rightly should, focus on the real criminals, the Obama officials involved in this tawdry treasonous exercise responsible for the Coup against Trump, the Deep State anti-Trump plotters in the leadership roles of the Obama administration specifically in the FBI, DoJ, CIA, DCI and the IRS.
Now unproven allegations based on Clinton's phony fusion report, from which errant FISA warrants were issued on false pretenses, rumors cunningly crafted and put into operation by James Comey, ensnares a whole host of conspirators that need to face judgement. If Hillary Clinton, the criminal-in-chief, escapes facing justice because of who she is politically, that will signal the end of legitimate rule of law government and opening the door to the only thing left to satisfy true "deplorable" Americans,"finis terminus acquits!." It will be terrible!
What is the measure of the Left's anguish? What is so important to them that they will engage in treason endangering their lives and fortunes to stop Donald Trump from draining the swamp? The answer is available if one only looks. On 10 August, 2017, Foreignpolicy.com reported the firing of a White House Staffer NSC named Rich Higgins. In a memo, Higgins revealed the "Deep State" members within the White House,who were working to undermine Trump. The prime reactionary was Trump's second Nat. Sec/ adviser, Gen. H.R. McMaster, who fired Higgins.
Basically, here is a synopsis of the Foreign Policy story: "National Security Council paints a dark picture of media, academics, the "deep state, and other enemies allegedly working to subvert U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a copy of the document obtained by Foreign Policy.
The seven-page document, which eventually landed on the president's desk, precipitated a crisis that led to the departure of several high-level NSC officials tied to former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. The author of the memo, Rich Higgins, who was in the strategic planning office at the NSC, was among those recently pushed out."
The full memo, dated May 2017, is titled "POTUS & Political Warfare." It provides a sweeping, if at times conspiratorial, view of what it describes as a multi-pronged attack on the Trump White House. Trump is being attacked, the memo says, because he represents "an existential threat to cultural Marxist memes that dominate the prevailing cultural narrative." Those threatened by Trump include "'deep state' actors, globalists, bankers, Islamists, and establishment Republicans."
The memo is part of a broader political struggle inside the White House between current National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster and alt-right operatives with a nationalist worldview who believe the Army general (McMaster) and his crew are subverting the president's agenda.
The 'Higgins Memo' can be read at ForeignPolicy.com or, consult your internet search engine looking for Higgins memo. It's another window into the dark side. You may be shocked at what you find there.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!

Looking at an MLB player's stats alone, it can be difficult to distinguish between simple disappointment and the onset of a decline.
However, evaluating these 10 individuals within the proper context suggests that their 2013 seasons fell into the former category. They're due to bounce back strong this coming year.
Once-great sluggers like Albert Pujols and Mark Teixeira succumbed to severe injuries, as did power pitchers Josh Johnson and Brandon Morrow. Several of these players found themselves in environments that didn't suit their skills, and all of them fell victim to bad luck.
To earn inclusion on this list, these veterans needed to give us reasons to trust that they'll put their lost 2013 seasons behind them and rival their production from previous years in 2014.

The Use of Baby Mice in Yellow Fever Studies 1
Summary and Conclusions
- 1. Baby Swiss mice of less than nine days of age exhibit a high degree of susceptibility to both neurotropic and viscerotropic strains of yellow fever virus administered subcutaneously. The susceptibility is equivalent to that of adult mice of the same strain inoculated intracerebrally.
- 2. The incubation period with both neurotropic and viscerotropic viruses is prolonged in comparison with the same viruses inoculated intracerebrally in adult mice.
- 3. The marked difference in incubation times between the two strain types of virus, as seen in mice inoculated intracerebrally, is not encountered when the same viruses are studied by the subcutaneous route in baby mice.
- 4. The technic for the employment of baby mice in insect transmission experiments is described. An illustrative experiment with infected Aëdes aegypti mosquitoes is given.
- 5. With Aëdes aegypti mosquitoes infected with jungle virus, transmission to baby mice occurred with about the same frequency among those biting without engorgement as among those which filled with blood.

Changing of the guard
In 2004, the pecking order was pretty clear: the blue jays owned the back yard, patrolling from two nests, and woe betide any other creature which dared to trespass. (I once saw them escort a squirrel off the premises, and not gently, either.)
Last year, the jays abandoned their nests but kept close by; the robins saw this as an opportunity, and one day the robins and the jays held a face-off over by the gas meter. The jays, to my surprise, backed down.
This year nobody rules the turf. The front yard, of late, has been a veritable PigeonFest; pigeons being sort of phlegmatic, all manner of other birds have been stopping by for brief visits, knowing they will meet with token resistance only. And squirrels, even the occasional roaming cat, wander onto the premises with no fear of reprisal. Out back, with no dominant birds, the variety is seemingly greater; this past week has been filled with some form of flycatcher. (It's not the scissor-tailed; this one has a somewhat-truncated tail, by comparison, and lacks the reddish front.) The serious singers are usually at it around sunrise, but I don't get up on weekends until seven, and by seven I mean eight-thirty.
...one day the robins and the jays held a face-off over by the gas meter. The jays, to my surprise, backed down.
Robins can be mean little bastards. Mockingbirds and bluejays and the like, which unlike robins will harass people, merely get more of a rep.Posted by: McGehee at 11:30 AM on 15 May 2006

Health For Life
The overall aim of this project is to give children a greater awareness and understanding of the benefits of a sustained healthy lifestyle.
There are four main objectives to encourage and develop sustainable change in the children's healthy lifestyles with a focus on:
- Healthy eating and cooking.
- Growing food.
- Physical activity.
- Family involvement.
The Health for Life project was originally taken on at school after an initial PTA contribution to purchase two raised beds, fund an independent gardener who worked with Reception Class during 2013/14, and cover the cost of gardening equipment which will make it possible for all children to have 'hands on' experience of growing vegetable and fruit.
Thank you to everybody who works voluntarily on the PTA and all the families who support fund raising events throughout the year. Since our application for £3,500 was approved in December 2014 there has been a great deal of 'behind the scenes' work going on to ensure that we utilise this financial contribution to the best of our ability and that we, as a whole school community make small changes to help promote healthier lifestyles.

Ginnie Mae TBAs rally as bond market stabilizesBy Brent Nyitray, CFA, MBA
Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are the starting point for all mortgage market pricing and the investment of choice for mortgage REITs
When the Federal Reserve talks about buying mortgage-backed securities, it's referring to the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market. The TBA market allows loan originators to take individual loans and turn them into a homogeneous product that can be traded. TBAs settle once a month, and government mortgages (primarily FHA/VA loans) are put into Ginnie Mae securities. TBAs are broken out by coupon rate and settlement date. In the chart above, we're looking at the Ginnie Mae 4% coupon for July. For those who have been following this series, the 3.5% was the current coupon last week.
Loan originators base loan prices on the TBA market. When they offer you a loan (as a borrower), your rate is par, give or take any points you're paying. Your originator will then sell your loan into a TBA. If you're quoted a 4% mortgage rate with no points, the lender will fund your loan and then sell it for the current TBA price. In this case, the TBA closed at 104 24/32, which means your lender will make just under 5% before taking into account their cost of making the loan. The borrower will probably get a point or two at that rate.
The Fed is the biggest buyer of TBA paper. Other buyers include sovereign wealth funds, countries that have trade surpluses with the U.S., and pension funds. TBAs are a completely "upstairs" market in that they don't trade on an exchange and most of their trading is done "on the wire" or over the phone.
FOMC meeting confirmed the market's worst fears
Two weeks ago, the Fed confirmed that the default path for quantitative easing is to slow down purchases some time this year, with a probable end to the practice in mid-2014. Before the meeting, the market discounted the likelihood of continuing asset purchases by default and withdrawing if we get strong economic data. That probability has now been reduced to zero.
The Fed is confident that the increase in rates will not negatively affect the economy. While mortgage rates are still low by historical standards, the move over the past two months has been breathtaking. Immediately after the FOMC statement, de-leveraging mortgage REITs and loan originators were fighting each other as they needed to sell TBAs. The current coupon Ginnie lost 3.5 points in a week, which is the MBS equivalent of the Crash of '87. The REIT selling diminished last week and TBAs rallied.
Implications for mortgage REITs
Mortgage REITs, such as Annaly (NLY), American Capital (AGNC), MFA Financial (MFA), Capstead Mortgage (CMO), and Hatteras Financial (HTS), will suffer mark-to-market hits on their portfolios of mortgage-backed securities. For any bond, 3 1/2 points in one week is a big move. For highly levered REITs, this move is exceptionally painful.
As a general rule, a lack of volatility is good for mortgage REITs because they hedge some of their interest rate risk. Increasing volatility in interest rates increases the cost of hedging. This is because as interest rates rise, the expected maturity of the bond increases as there will be fewer pre-payments. On the other hand, if interest rates fall, the maturity shortens due to higher pre-payment risks. Mechanically, this means mortgage REITs must adjust their hedges and buy more protection when prices are high and sell more protection when prices are low. This "buy-high/sell low" effect is called "negative convexity," and it explains why Ginnie Mae MBS yield so much more than Treasuries that have identical credit risk (which is to say none).

Berry Bros & Rudd's managing director has said the merchant's wine business 'remains pretty healthy', despite contributing to the firm's slide into the red during its last fiscal year.
Berry Bros & Rudd reported net losses of GBP6.2m for the year to the end of March 2013, versus losses of GBP4,000 in the previous year, according to official figures published at Companies House on Thursday (17 October).
While the result partly reflects the firm's position at midway point of a five-year investment strategy, losses were made worse by a one-off GBP4m charge related to the wine and spirit merchant's attempt to recoup funds from an unnamed ex-distributor in Hong Kong.
Lower prices for top Bordeaux wine, particularly during the 2011 vintage en primeur campaign, also contributed to group net sales dropping by 16% for the 12 months, to GBP138.7m.
But, speaking to decanter.com, Berry Bros MD Hugh Sturges said that the losses were expected and 'the wine business remains pretty healthy and is profitable before the exceptional items'.
He declined to offer specific details on the Hong Kong charge, but said, 'we have engaged in legal action to get money back from that old distributor. It's a big number, but it's an exceptional cost.'
During the financial year, the group also invested GBP3m to build its own distribution networks in Hong Kong and Singapore.
Sturges said the firm has continued to improve sales of non-Bordeaux wines, and especially those from Burgundy, Italy and Spain. 'We will maintain our positions, if not increase them, in Spain and Italy,' he said.
On Bordeaux, he said 'the market is still recovering' but that Berry Bros will be ready for 'when Bordeaux comes back, which it will'. Such is Asia's long-term potential, 'the laws of supply and demand will out in the end', he said.
At the same time, he believes the price falls during the 2011 en primeur campaign represent something of a return to normality, following the buzz of two consecutive, stellar vintages in 2009 and 2010.
'People will look back in history and see '09 and '10 as being exceptional,' he said. 'People forgot what en primeur conditions used to be [like], in all the excitement.'

Two men wanted by police have surrendered in connection with the shooting death of a Toronto teen in a west-end pizza restaurant last fall.
Lenneil Shaw, 23, and Mohamed Ali Nur, 18, both of Toronto, turned themselves in after Canada-wide warrants were issued for them on charges of first-degree murder.
On Oct. 16, Jarryl Hagley was eating with friends at a Pizza Pizza on Weston Rd. near Lawrence Ave. W. when the shooting occurred.
Hagley, 17, was shot repeatedly, and died in hospital shortly after.
Winston Poyser, 24, and Shakiyl Shaw, 23, both from Toronto, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder on Thursday.
At a news conference Thursday, Det. Paul Worden said that he was hopeful that two other suspects would turn themselves in.
The teen's shooting, which Worden described as an "act that was planned and deliberate," was Toronto's 54th homicide of 2016. No one else was hurt during the shooting.
At the time of Hagley's death, his stepmother Trisha Samuels told the Canadian Press the teen was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
"He will be remembered as a good boy — loving, kind, friendly. He loves to try to help everyone as much as he can," said Samuels.

No, this has nothing to do with the already published Tetris Link. Hasbro has signed a deal with The Tetris Company to release tabletop games this year. Two of the first games will be a Tetris version of Bob-It, and a Tetris themed Jenga with the pieces shaped like iconic Tetris blocks.
Hopefully they've got something a bit more interesting up their sleeve, because you know these aren't the only two Tetris games they'll be releasing.
Looks for Tetris Bop-It and Tetris Jenga to hit stores in August.
omgee well i play tertis all the time and i love hasbro so two of my favorite things coming together eehhh!!!!!!! hehe im haooy i guess……….anyways to be honest…………… i was just bored and i decided to leave a comment. ^_^
