Misusing history…

The original title of this piece  by Jeff Fynn-Paul is “The myth of the ‘stolen country'”,  but it is a timely and well-written warning for all sides to refrain from  misusing history  to score points.   I would note that most of the excesses are on the Left because it must control the narratives and memes , and the use of language in order to obtain total control.  There just aren’t the same number of nut-jobs on the right by comparison.   The Left creates “facts” to win arguments,  and when they are shredded,  it reverts to its customary ad hominem attacks.   Leftists have run on emotion and group-think for so long that they are no longer able to engage in reasoned discourse.   Logic is anathema.

Just ask any protester what he is protesting.  This week the answer is likely to be “Breonna Taylor”.   The most recent riots are because she was shot and killed by Louisville police who were executing a warrant on her apartment for her possibly ex-boyfriend.   She was named on the warrant as well.  Should she have been shot?   Of course not.   But should her boyfriend have fired at the police as they entered the apartment?   Of course not.   Should she have let her ex, a known drug dealer, into her apartment?   Of course not.    Should she have thrown herself on the floor at the first shot?   Of course she should have.    Apparently she was a emergency medical technician (EMT) and was trying to “turn her life around.”   That is commendable,  but if you are attempting that, you do not consort with drug dealers and gun runners and the like, and if you have quit them,  you do not allow them anywhere near you or your apartment.

The protesters and the media have lied since day one about this particular case.  It wasn’t a no-knock warrant for starters,  and Ms. Taylor was named on the warrant.  Two facts you won’t hear from the protesters or the media.  If you don’t like the truth,  create your own history and twist it to suit your purposes.

I enjoy reading Jeff Fynn-Paul’s work.   A history professor at Leiden University in The Netherlands,  he describes himself as “an economic historian who looks at the impact of institutions on economic growth and well-being.”   I disagree with his view that zero-growth economics, “prosperity without growth,”  as advocated by an increasing number of economists,  is the most likely economic strategy for reaching the full global potential.

Check yourself, Nancy…

In her “letter to colleagues”,  which was actually a press release,  Speaker Pelosi claims the United States Postal Service  delivers Social  Security checks,  among other things.   How can she not know that Social Security checks have not been delivered by mail in a decade?   Dollars to donuts she was singing Saint Obama’s praises and cheering the use of technology to reduce costs and increase safety by taking the postal Service out of the equation.  So of course she wants the Postal Service to become Election Central, and therefore keeps conflating absentee ballots with regular ballots.  Absentee ballots require first-class postage.  They are expensive to handle and send and check and copies of the voter’s photo identification are required along with special envelopes.  Democrats do not care what it costs counties and states or the feds,  and they are vehemently opposed to requiring any sort of individual ID or tracking, because those things would impede their efforts to impede Republican candidates.

Pelosi is calling Congress back to  work on   for the Postal Service,  but her goal is to try to force Trump into handing over $25 billion so Democrats can claim the service has plenty of money to handle total all mail-in elections.

 

 

The media lies about everything…

Media lied about collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016.  Then it lied about the Mueller probe,  Brett Kavanaugh,  and Gen.  Mike Flynn.   Then it was Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president and the farcical impeachment that followed.  Now it’s coronavirus and lock-downs.   And the riots.

Media gushes with praise for the thugs of Black Lives matter and the progressive politicians who have allowed the destruction of their cities,  while hysterically claiming all law enforcement are racist murderers.   I can’t remember the last time anyone employed by national media actually uttered something truthful.   Its practitioners  lie about everything now.  You are forewarned.   Be very careful when you search for real news which contains evidence and facts.

CNN and the arrogant idiot Jim Acosta,  provide the perfect example,  here.   And bingo,  CBS regurgitates another exemplar.

 

 

Gen. Flynn exonerated?

Attorney General William Barr directed the U.S. Attorney to review FBI personnel communications and notes, and  it appears no  one liked  what they found.   In fact,  the entire case is collapsing, and the Obama-era DOJ and FBI will be stained because of their illegal and treacherous behavior.  A slap on the wrist won’t do.   Every last one of the culprits should be tried for their crimes and tossed in a very unpleasant prison.  Their lives and the lives of their families should be made at least as unpleasant as that of  Gen. Flynn and his family.

I hope AG Barr keeps squeezing until His Oneness pops out of someone’s forehead.   Robert  Mueller and  his entire staff can go first.

UPDATE:  Go  here for  some of the strong language Flynn’s attorneys used in their latest filings.   I proise you it is extremely well deserved.

What they were doing…

The Democratic Party and their accomplices in the media have never stopped screaming that OrangeManBad is responsible for every bad thing which has ever happened in the entire universe.  GOP Chair Ronna Mcdaniel has compiled an extremely useful thread to show what the Trump Administration was actually doing while the Democrats were lying every time they opened their mouths.   Help  spread this  far and wide  —  the truth may seep into a few brains…

UPDATE:  You may find  this format  easier to read and digest.

 

 

 

Schiff melting…

Anyone who thinks Rep. Adam Schiff is an  honorable man  is insane.   Anyone who believes he is not pathological in his pursuit of the extermination of Pres. Trump has not been paying attention.   The man is a lie machine, and he produces untruths deliberately,  even though he has been caught repeatedly.   Like most of his colleagues,  he calculates that if the lies are accepted as truth by some voters, or catch fire from the media’s endless endorsement and repetition it might prevent Orange Man’s re-election.   He  is claiming  that Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz is not a “reputable constitutional law expert.”   He apparently also thought  staring at  the Trump team as they rattled off his lies would somehow either intimidate them or make himself appear innocent.

Democrats believe ordinary Americans are simultaneously gullible as hell and as corrupt as they are.  I do think Americans are far too trusting of government and those who run it,  but I don’t find them to be corrupt or venal in their everyday lives.  Most of us try to do the right thing.  Too few of us are suspicious of politicians who claim to be doing the right thing for the children or the undocumented,  or the country,  or the working man ,  or the climate — you fill in the blank — you’ve heard them all.

News flash — politicians generally do “the right thing” for themselves,  but very seldom for Americans or America.  Every Democratic presidential candidate wants open borders,  free everything for their voters, dissolution of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, and government control of everything.   Adam Schiff is a fine representative of the Democratic Party.   He lies,  he misstates,  he misquotes,  he  makes false  claims.   And he  does it  repeatedly.  It is who and what he is,  not merely what he does.  You can stir in Pelosi and Nadler and Schumer and the brew tastes just as bitter.   If I had the misfortune to be as U.S. Senator during this tawdry process,  I would seriously consider creating a medical emergency for him or me just to relieve the torture of the  Schiff display.   I’ve seen male peacocks strut their stuff to impress females,  but their tail feathers make a fan of beauty so impressive that they have earned their vanity. The only person  Schiff impresses is himself.

Leaving the Democrats…

Let Anthony Keith  explain to you  why he can’t vote for Democrats.   Then ask yourself if you are voting as if you believe the lies his parents did,  or if the flames of liberty and common sense have burned the fog of deception away.

Every single Democratic presidential candidate thinks we should have open borders,  pay for the health care of illegal immigrants,  allow them to take away jobs from American citizens, and destroy the First and Second Amendments.  The Founders wrote down these individual inalienable rights to codify them, not to create them.  Progressives, which now means most Democrats, are well aware that they have always had to lie in the primaries to win.  They also know from Saul Alinsky that you must deceive,  misdirect,  exploit any crisis,  and destroy the first two amendments of the Bill of Rights to achieve power.  Every Democratic presidential candidate wants to shut up opposing viewpoints and disarm the citizenry so they can be turned from citizens into subjects

I quite frankly don’t mind if Hollywood releases “The Hunt” because it is an allegorical tale of what the elites like to envision themselves doing.  We deplorables stand in their way and should not be tolerated.  Unfortunately for them,  many of us not only own guns,  we also know how to use them and we accept the responsibilities which come with ownership of firearms.   Many of us reside in places where the nearest law enforcement is more than 20 miles and 20 minutes away.   We generally don’t wait for the police to arrive,  but promptly go help our friends and neighbors.  Only rarely does a civilian shoot the wrong person.   Most of us are much better shots than law enforcement because we practice and we take care of our weapons.

Anthony Keith is a wonderful Everyman.   His trials and tribulations have made him stronger and wiser.  He sees clearly and he is determined to protect his country.  Every Democrat claims to want to protect America and Americans,  but none of their proffered policies do anything but deprive you of your God-given liberties and diminish your country. and fatten their own pockets.   The people who want to rule over you are those who gathered around Senate Leader Mitch McConnell’s home demanding somebody kill him.  He has protection.   What do you imagine they would do to you?

i always write or call the Left and tell them to go first.  Capitol Hill police should be disarmed immediately,  and no Congress critter or other federal employee may have armed protection of any sort at work or at home.  Their residences must all have signs showing which read “This is a gun-free zone.”  I have tried for many years to give one of them to anti-gunners and could never persuade anybody to take them.   Consider every upcoming election a broken-glass election.  Do your part to keep us free,  patriots!

 

Nutty Northam…

Virginia Governor Ralph  Northam must  think we are incredibly stupid.  He thinks infanticide is just dandy, and apologized for appearing either in blackface or as a KKK member in a school yearbook, before saying the photos are not of him and he has never seen them before.  He would have moonwalked in his latest obfuscating presser if his wife hadn’t intervened.  There are reports of a staff meeting yesterday during which he’d  decide on  resignation but there’s no proof yet.

I’d like to say I’m surprised,  but I’m not.  He is fully representative of the party of death.   I pity the poor citizens of Virginia,  but I look forward to watching the Democrats try to resuscitate him,  then try to get rid of him.

 

 

Iran’s new jet isn’t…

The just unveiled Kowsar fighter appears to be a two-seater Northrop F-5F Tiger II, meaning it’s “indigenous”  only if Iran has become America’s 51st state  (58th, if you use  Obama’s numbers).   It belongs to Iran only because Iran purchased it from the USA.

For once,  CNBC actually gets a story mostly correct,  even acknowledging that Iran may still have a few dozen F-5s.   Whether any of them still fly is another question.

What Iran apparently  does have  is a Lamborghini,  allegedly reverse-engineered from the ground up.   The real Murcielago was produced between 2001 and 2010.   No word on whether the copy actually runs…

 

Bigoted news…

Longtime political journalist Stuart Rothenberg,  apparently in hysterics now that the governor of West Virginia has announced he’s leaving the Dems to become a Republican,  has sent out a series of tweets bashing the citizens of  the state as illiterate lay-abouts.   ABC and NBC were apparently too traumatized to  even report  on the party switch.

As John Nolte at the Daily Wire notes,  all of  Rosenberg’s smears were lies,  and easily proven to be so.   I very much doubt Rothenberg has ever set foot much outside of New York and D.C.,  much less actually in West Virginia.  I have,  and much of it is very pretty country with very nice people with mostly Southern manners,  though they alertly are a bit wary of Yankees as are most Southerners with any serse of history and good sense.   If my memory serves,  Rothenberg wrote last year that Republicans needed to get past immigration as a political issue if they wanted to attract enough non-white voters to win anything.  When I’m not too lazy to look up the exact quote,  I shall email it to him so he can chew on it for a while.
