The Democrat Party Turns to Its Elite

With the stroke of a pen, using a law meant to pay National Guardsmen during wartime, Joe Biden turned ship S.S. Democrat toward the base of it's Party, the Elite.  I once called my Socialist ex-friend, Lisa, an "elitist."  I've never had such pushback.  "I'm a Socialist, not an Elitist," she wrote.  I argued that Socialism IS Elitist, and at the very least, its policies are aimed at the political Elite.  Who is supposed to run the behemoth State apparatus but the Elitists who, through their educational bonafides, are the "managers" of the Socialist State?  We now have a clear answer with Biden's unconstitutional treasury grab.

The lessons of childhood are lost to our dementia-ridden President.  I'm sure, at one point in Biden's life, probably while his Mom was driving him to school through the oil-soaked neighborhoods of Scranton, PA with the window-wipers wiping, she told her son that if you borrow something, you must always give it back, and you should give it back better than you received it.  In the case of student loan repayment, the millions of working  Dad's who took side hussles to get their kids through college debt-free probably just decided to become Republicans. It's baffling, really.  I'm not exactly sure of the numbers of people who would support loan forgiveness, but I am sure that the welders, HVAC repairmen, Contractors of any kind who picked up tools instead of taking out student loans will not be pleased that not only are they going to pay for this loan forgiveness program with their tax dollars, but the value of those dollars will continue to erode as billions more are printed with no attendant increase in productive capacity in the United States.  

Republicans are now the Party of working class America by default.  The Democrats will come out w slick commercials showing how they care more for the common man, but Push Advertising doesn't work well when it is an obvious lie.  People don't "feel" right and view the product negatively.

When you have 90% of Social Media on your side, however, and 100% of the main stream media, propaganda is your wheelhouse.  We have yet to see its effectiveness, but we will know soon.  The SS Democrat turns slowly, but it has turned and while the new Republican Party is welcoming Latinas like Mayra Flores, and Blacks like Brandon Tatum, we will pray that "Abandon Ship!" has been announced on the S.S. Democrat and the gang planks have been thrown down to welcome the newly awoken to the S.S. Ronald Reagan.

Senator Daines: Coward

Again, our "Conservative" Senator is a coward.  Just as you withdrew your comments questioning the electors in AZ because the capitol was overrun by peaceful "parading" patriots, you now stand silent in the face of the most egregious breach of civil liberty in our nation's history.  

We have entered the 21st century as a Radical Democracy instead of a Republic: whoever has the power will destroy their political opponents.  Our Constitution has no guardrails to save it and us from the dissolution of civil society and our "Conservative" Senator stands silent.  Are you scared?  Is that the problem?  Of what?  Not to be invited to all the right cocktail parties in Washington?  Not to have the support of an old, washed up Senator from KY?  Stand up for your country, man!  Stand up and be a man and support your republic!  Because when good men are silent, evil steps in, and evil is marching in to our country in droves.  Stop worrying so much about your next term and start standing up for your country.  

You can easily ignore this letter, Sen Daines because I will never support you.  I will always give my funds and support to a more conservative opponent, but what you may not be able to ignore is the destruction of your country because it will become more and more obvious in the next two years that you are a Senator from a state in a Radical Democracy that is going to serve as a haven of escape from the devastation of crime-ridden cities and states run by radicals.  You can't fight while you are hiding.  Wake up and realize where your country has landed; it is under the control of extremists and radicals who will destroy us and our livelihoods.  You will have little left to represent when they achieve their goals.

I am an advocate of peaceful protest and the right to free speech.  There are people sitting in jail in WA DC right this moment for doing exactly that, and not a word from our "Conservative " Senator.  The FBI broke the door down to a family's home in a small town in MN because two young men, former army medics, had assisted a dying woman on Jan 6th.  If that family had been from Montana, would you have stood up?  Would you have written the same kind of impassioned plea that you recently released to the press about the behemoth bill just passed by the radical extremist Left?  Would you have stood up and fought for two young ex army medics if the FBI had broken down the family's front door in Billings?  Is geography dictating your defense of our civil rights?

It would be nice of you were less cowardly, there is still time for you to make the change necessary to be a true civil liberties leader, because we are going to need that kind of leadership.  And that's who I and my family will support in the next election.

The Art of War

Know your enemy.  When Sun Tsu said this, he was likely thinking of an enemy outside his close society.  But it makes sense for those who seek to destroy your society from within as well.  The FBI had better come out with the goods bc simply questioning election integrity and looking hard at it does not make an insurrection.  We  have witnessed true government terror in the last 2 years of this Administration, and it is going to get worse.  You mat not be at war with your government, but it is at war with you.

When you try to shut down, intimidate, or silence an entire segment of your society, you have thrown off the Liberal mantel and moved solidly into the totalitarian camp.  The Communists are winning this battle, but it will be the American citizens who will need to win the war.  The Communists are showing their hand, which is refreshing, in a way.  Perhaps now, the people will wake up and see the real agenda of the Left, totalitarian rule.

The Left has now gifted itself the power, in the form of money dumped into the IRS coffers, to terrorize small businesses across America.  If you support Conservative candidates, my suspicion is that you will be audited.  Being a Conservative will become a crime.  Will it make people less inclined to support Conservative policies?  My guess is that anything that involves government terror will result in capitulation.  Americans are not used to war, of any kind.  But this is a new society with Leftists at the helm.  Be smart, move somewhere where the sheriff supports you.  This war is engaged, and you are living in a society where half of the US population is being attacked and the other half is living large.  

The real lesson to be learned here is that the war is at hand.  The Administrative State is controlled by people drunk on power.  If you are a "Liberal" and you are saying, "No, the Leftists are doing great, the DOJ, FBI and other alphabet agencies are working within the letter of the law, I will refer you to the Minnesota family that has been tortured by the FBI since they visited the Capitol on January 6th. Their story is shocking.  4am FBI raids, broken down front doors, raids on a home when parents were not present.  Even the neighbors in this small town are horrified.  The two boys and their Dad used police shields to shield those giving aide to Roseann Boyland from noxious gassed on Jan 6th and they are treated like serial killers.  Now on trial in DC, these folks are refusing to settle with the government and they are showing the rest of America how to fight.  Sun Tsu would have been proud; the rest of us should take heed.

Sri Lanka

In 1976, Spokane, WA hosted the World's Fair.  It was a big deal and the idea behind it was Recycling and Environmental Care.  The Fair had an impact on my life.  We saw movies about the huge amounts of garbage that humans produce.  That was the time when the commercial with the Indian man shedding a tear over the highway lined with garbage aired to a nation who previously had thought little about the destruction of our environment.  I have always recycled as much as humanly possible to avoid burying plastics in my landfill.  But when the science of Global Climate "change" was co-opted by the Left, my skepticism rose.  One good sunspot, or blast from a neutron star will take this planet out, and, no matter what we do as a species to "save" our planet, we will not likely affect it's existence in the cosmos.  

There are things we CAN do, like recycle, look at packaging and regulations or laws that require us to lessen our impact on the environment of packaging in our Capitalist society.  But when you bring forward policies that will hurt the working poor first and the political Elite last, I have a problem with that.  

The Sri Lankan Prime Minister, pressured by the World Economic Council, a bunch of Elitist snobs who couldn't care LESS about the working person in lower class Sri Lanka, banned the use of chemical fertilizers (oil as the primary input) in the farming industry; immediatly after the ban, many farmers went out of business because what is the point when crops won't grow or pests eat crops prior to harvest?  The result of the Elitist "We Know Better" World Economic Development Council has been to starve a country and drive it's people to attack their government.  Granted, the Sri Lankan government also borrowed a boatload of money from China and did some other stupid things, but the reason they are hungry has little to do with debt and a lot to do with food.  Having listened to the Elitist Left on both farming and Debt, the Prime Minister is now in hiding while his constituents defecate in his pool.  

And now, off to America where Elitist Leftist policies that have worked literally nowhere are creating a USA dependent on its enemies for its energy.  And if you believe that FJB is off trying to get the price of oil down, I've got some beautiful property in Glendive, MT for you.  We are witnessing chaos from implementation of Green New Deal policies and soon we will all think $100 fill-ups are normal, and not so bad.  That is the goal.  Yeah!  Let's do that here because, we're different.  We have technologies that will allow us to save the planet. Oh, right, Sri Lanka had those technologies, too, and they are now starving.  

Are we sick and tired yet of political lackies who have no love of country, much less the God it was founded under? They are their own gods now.  If you believe this global warming crap, you're drinking some powerful kool-aid.  It's time for the other half of our country to wake the hell up before our country resembles Sri Lanka, Germany with their rolling blackouts, or the Favelas of Sao Paolo.  Oops, too late, San Francisco is already there.  

Is this the country you want, Democrats?  Fentanel permeating our society clearly flowing over our wide-open border?  Corruption rampant in our Federal Government far surpassing any so-called collusion that Trump the Boy Scout compared to Joe Biden ever did?  It blows my mind to watch the destruction of our country.  It is such sad thing.  China had only to purchase a corrupt political party, help to steal an election, something we must never, ever discuss, and they have defacto control.  The only thing saving us from outright takeover will be our 2nd ammendment which is under attack by the corrupt who put forth policies which make no common sense.  

I have some older Democrats in my life who still believe their party is the same moderate Blue-Dog Democrat Party of the 80s.  If that party were still in power, the border would be controlled and running w the same efficiency as any other government agency ever does, and we would not have terrorists, foreign nationals from 98 countries and every South American crossing our border without any form of real tracking.  But they are not alone.  They have help from the Bilderberg contingent, i.e., Liz Cheney and Nancy Pelosi.  Trump was far too independent for their tastes, so he must be destroyed.  Yesterday, they went so far as to drag out a protester from J6 who is undoubtedly being told he will spend his next 10 years in jail for doing little more than "parading" in the Capitol unless he says exactly what they want him to say.  In other words, the Trump-derranged will not stop until they have convinced the sheeple who still watch MSNBC that he was "unhinged" by an election that was clearly stolen.  And, yes, 55% of the people who care in this country think that the Democrats stole this election.  I know that's not popular with the political Elite, but I don't give a flying fuck, so I'm glad Trump was a little unhinged, if he hadn't been, he wouldn't have been human.  So, Democrats who think you know everything, there is sufficient evidence from all quarters to believe that this election was stolen, and, frankly, we all should have shown up on J6 with weapons and thrown every damn one of those politically corrupt politicians out on their asses.  But, we didn't.  We protested peacefully, and this is what we get:  sham committee after sham committee telling lies and gaslighting the American people until madness depends upon our country.  I can't wait for Nov 2022, but I'm guessing they'll find more ways to cheat and, if not, they will start planning for the Big Cheat in 2024.  

At this point, Conservatives are running to the hills to escape the madness to the tune of 800 per month in Missoula County alone.  The old red diaper dopers will continue to deceive themselves until the Chinese Army takes away their pot pipes and throws them into camps.  Gotta love this Liberal New World Order!

Men in Robes

It is important to understand what Roe v Wade IS and what it is NOT.  It was SUPPOSED to be the end to the abortion debate; put to rest forever.  Has it done that?  No.  But the Left wants no discussion about any but it's own opinion: abortion on demand until birth.  And they think that is good law?

We approach the adjudication of law as a moral people with police powers.  This is not the same as what the Supreme Court does which is to decode law based on the Constitution.  Yet, the Left, who, most of the time, hates our Constitution and wants it gone, relies so heavily on it here that we have had 40 years of crappy law.  States fight constantly in the confines of poorly written law to keep abortion factories from full-scale operation where baby parts are sold for sums of money and women have a "fall-back" option should they forget to use contraception in the heat of the moment.  Now, that fallback option will be limited by state legislatures.  

According to the Liberal Alan Dertchowitz, Dodd was the wrong case with which to grapple w Roe.  It should have been another case, further down the road, he argues.  Meanwhile in Florida, they passed a law that abortion will not be legal after the 15th week.  This, of course, would have been challenged with the Left's seemingly unending resources.  Would that have been the right decision to challenge Roe for Dr. Derschowitz?  What the good Dr. Derschowitz forgets is that his Party has threatened to pack the court.  With that threat hanging over the justices, Sam Alito  knew that it was time.  

Some people liken abortion to cosmetic surgery, others, the murder of a baby, no matter the view of it, it is a moral question, and in our Constitution, moral questions belong with the States.  As much as the Left would love to have the Kings at the SCOTUS decide the fate of abortion in America, we cannot codify every moral question in the law of the land.  Some of these important questions are meant to be discussed, debated, and legislated as close to the people as possible.  

Aristotle argues that there is some good in all voluntary actions. Is abortion good? My thought is that it can be good, but primarily, it is not.  Whatever happened to "safe and rare?" Roe did not give us Safe and Rare, it gave us body parts for sale.  Safe and Rare will, I'm certain, except in NY and CA, be the norm with the debate held by the State legislators.  I contend that a large majority of the people in the US believe that abortion should be a safe option available to a pregnant woman up to 12/15 weeks.  That will be the outcome of the Supreme Court's dastardly reversal of Roe in most states.

But the Communist Left doesn't care about reasonable, debated, locally considered laws that limit abortion to 12-15 weeks.  I contend that Abortion is yet another point of division the Communist uses to create political chasms in American society.  

The Left will not be there for you years later when you grapple as an adult with a decision to abort your child at Sixteen.  They don't care.  What could the Left possibly care about in this fight?  

They care about Black people.  Nope.  The founder of Planned Parenthood's stated strategy was to decrease the entry into this world of Black people because she was a racist.   I'm sure PP now downplays the Margaret Sanger agenda, but the fact is that she has been successful beyond her wildest dreams.  

The Left cares that women should control all decisions about their own bodies.  You have simply to look at the Left's reaction to Covid 19 to realize that isn't true.  The Left led the charge to shame, fire, and cancel those who chose not to take the Covid vaccine.  But the Left has never prided itself on consistent, logical behavior.

When the Kings who are Supreme Court justices upheld Roe for years on end, the Left lifted them up, beatified them.  But now, with careful consideration of what most scholars, including the tenacious Ruth Bader Ginsburg, believed was poorly written law that created a right to privacy out of whole cloth during the commission of what eventually results in the termination of life, the Left HATES the Kings.  They chant slogans, burn down Pregnancy help centers and generally throw a tantrum, but that's OK with their media friends because they are justified in their emotional outburst according to the "journalists" at CNN, MSNBC, ABC and CBS, not to mention Politico, the Huffington Post and The Daily Beast.  This decision to throw the moral question of abortion back to the people, or the "States," takes away a right, according to these "journalists," and when has a right that was given ever been taken away in our looong history of 248 years, they scream.  

Hmm.  I can think of several examples of the SCOTUS reversing wrong-headed decisions: slavery being the most obvious.  But we live in a time when our history means little but a reference to whatever supports one's cause whether it is true or not.  We are not REALLY supposed to look hard at history, unless it is to say that Jefferson, Franklin, etc., meant "musket" when referring to an "armed" populace.  The Left uses 'history" when it suits their purpose and never particularly well.

If we give our Federal Government powers not enumerated in the Constitution, it may someday abuse those powers.  The recent Covid experience where the Executive abused its powers by relying on OSHA regulations to require people to show up to work vaccinated or lose their jobs is an excellent example.  Imagine that one day, and it could be very close at hand, your Federal Government  requires that you get an abortion if you already have a child.   The Left never thinks about the Federal Government that abuses its powers as long as their narrative is safely supported.  But those who care about freedom do think about it.  I hope that the decision to reverse Roe v Wade will preserve our freedoms for a little while longer in this very scary world.

 

Sex Communists

 The Left wants to sexualize your children.  They are telling you this loud and clear.  This is no longer about gender identity, this is about the control the Leftist will exert over your child's sexual identity.  It is wrong. It is not a Teacher's job to become sex counselors to children in grade school.  Teachers have no training in sex counseling and, frankly, would you trust your child's counseling on sex or any other subject to your school's counselor?  We must stand against Hollywood, Blackrock-influenced Corporations, and major news outlets.  I say, Straight, Straight, Straight!  Screw Gay-baiting Communists.  I'm done with them and their social influencing.  It's time for the rise of the Straights back to the pinnacle of our society.  

Families are the cornerstone of any healthy, growing society.  Throughout history, governments have given incentives to the traditional family to promote its development.  They were not homophobes, they were practical.  Nobody gives a damn if you are gay, bisexuality, frankly, any one's sexual proclivities are nothing that interests me until you try to influence my child.  I grew up during the early Seventies when my school stressed color blind behavior and acceptance of all lifestyles.  I had a sexual education class in 5th grade that focused on anatomy and heterosexual sex.  It was not unusual to hear, in my world, about same-sex couples and though it didn't interest me, I also developed no long-lasting, deep-seated hatred for homosexuals.  It was a time when acceptance was the norm and the color of your skin was far less important than imagination, innovation, recycling, and earth-centered ideas.  1972 Spokane World's Fair was all about re-using materials, revising packaging, and developing new ways to think about how humans affect their environment.

I did not begin to fear or loath militant homosexuals until 1986 when I ran into a lesbian in San Diego at a political protest who told me, in no uncertain terms, that, "We're coming after your Babies & they will all be gay by the time we're done."  Can you imagine if I had told her that, "I'm coming after all you queers and I'm going to turn you straight?"  This was my first introduction to the Communist, power-hungry, militant Homosexual lobby and you can include in that group the NAMBLA folks who are the "Men and Young Boys" lobby.  They make no bones about the fact that they support the normalization of grown men having sex with young boys.  If this were all between consenting adults, I would have no issues with these people, but that is not their intent.  They are talking about sex with YOUNG boys who do not have a developed sexuality.  If you read their rather shocking literature, they seek to convert young boys to the life of subservience to an older man.  Nope.  Not kidding.

It is my contention that the normalization of militant queer behavior will lead to the downfall of our society.  There is clearly no progeny created in these types of relationships (easily), and, for those who are caught up in this web of radical behavior, there is the distinct possibility of subjugating those who may develop normal heterosexual family life to the mad, mad world of the radical gays.  I don't care about those who are physically predisposed to be homosexual; I support their human need for same sex relationships.  I even support a gay couple's need for family and children.  I was not raised in a Biblical household, though my mother later joined the Orthodox Church in America, my childhood allowed for the acceptance of non-traditional lifestyles.  

But our family also saw the devastation that comes from gender confusion and the horror of a life ruined by trying to live two lifestyles and failing at both.  Sometimes, people just need love, no matter where it comes from and perhaps the genitalia and how it plays a part in the relationship should be far less important than commraderie, support, family, and acceptance.  

My grandmother once said that she wished the 70-year old mind could be implanted for a day in the 21-year old body.  She said her perspective on life was so much more clear as an older human and that hormones should not rule the day in life decisions.  Wise woman.

We cannot allow those who are seeking only power to rule the day in our society.  Do you honestly believe that these groups who want to sexualize your children really care about those children?  When that child approaches puberty as a gender-confused, hormonal-affected human, do you think the Liberal will be there to pick up the pieces of a broken soul?  Not hardly.  They move on to their next fear-inducing, power-grabbing idea and your child will be left alone with no support other than their possibly estranged family to deal with the ramifications of the queer, mulri-partner lifestyle.

What if your child is simply shy?  What if they just need love and they find it momentarily in the arms of the same sex, but if given the support and love of a community, a church, a strong family, they would have chosen a traditional heterosexual relationship with children and grand children in later years?  Should our society promote the gay lifestyle in a time when we so desperately need traditional families to thrive in our world?  I'm not talking about the obvious gay person.  I'm talking about those who could be "turned" at vulnerable times in their lives, but that would be happier in a traditional family environment.  If you think that the Liberal Communist who now seeks power through fear-mongering in our society will be there to pick up the pieces of your child's life after years of wasting time in a non-traditional relationship when they should have gotten married and had kids, you would be wrong.  THEY DONT CARE.

These power hungry people are fear mongers and hate-promoters who care nothing for your child accept to use them to call you a homophobe and create division in our society.

Long live the Heterosexual.  Down with the militant Gay Lobby.  We need FAMILIES!  We need children who grow up, get married and have children and if a small percentage of our society does otherwise, fine.  I am not here to hate on them; but I AM here to support our society and it's culture that has grown and thrived with largely heterosexual families.

Nuclear Winter

The reticence to project power because of fear of Russian nuclear reprisal by my favorite Conservative commentators (Bongino, Kelly) surprises me.  Maybe because I grew up in the generation before them, I am more resigned to the end of our world via nuclear destruction.  But I know that I wouldn't stand by as innocent, freedom loving people who less than two weeks ago were living peacefully are now are on the edge of annihilation.  It's probably good that I am not in charge because there would have been no build up on the Ukranian border.  THAT was the time for sanctions, not now when there is a genocide taking place.  Now is the time that WE drop a bomb on Moscow and to hell with his nuclear arsenal which probably doesn't work anyways.  In fact, I would have mobilized most of our army and marines, just to keep them sharp and get them out of "woke" classes where they learn acceptable pronouns; but my main assault would have been airforce.  I would have used drones to wipe out troops all the way into Crimea, then I would have brought in the clean-up crew.  

But instead, Putin will now own a piece of land that he will have to populate because he's killed all the civilians.  I hope he chokes on it.  And we will all be in no less danger than before with a madman still in control of Nukes.  How is that the correct decision?  

We will defend NATO but not Ukraine?  What difference is there between these two scenarios if Putin is not scared of us at all?  He will March through Poland and re-take Germany and we will all shiver and shake that he might use nuclear weapons?  That has always been a risk!  He might set them off accidentally, for Christ's Sake!  We LIVE in a world that will likely end in nuclear winter!  Some of us have been prepared all our lives for this eventuality.  I for one, am not willing to sacrifice a bunch of Orthodox Christians due to fear of nuclear reprisal.  I don't care.  We live within that world of fear and I am not willing to sacrifice entire populations because of that fear.  Sorry, Dan Bongino, Sorry Jesse Kelly, but we cannot live in fear of nuclear destruction.  MAD is supposed to allow us to make decisions free from  that fear.  If he launches nuclear missiles, Russia will no longer exist because we will destroy it, and it is my contention that we will be in a better place without Putin than with him even if we have to nuke Russia and risk being nuked ourselves.  I am not afraid.  You should not be afraid either.

You both are in places where you'll fry immediately.  We live in a place where we may survive the horrors, so I'm a little envious, but I am not scared.  If we run this world from a position of fear, we will always lose.  In fact, we may as well hand the US over to the Communists right now because with this President, we will project only fear and appeasement.  Why bother?  Just invite them in because if we are afraid now, we will be doubly afraid when he threatens Europe.  It is time to reject fear, trust in the Universe, thank God for many good years, and start acting like the Home of the Brave.

Do You Feel Uncomfortable?

As you watch the destruction of a Christian civil society by a madman, are you feeling a little "on edge," a little uncomfortable?  I know I am.  What is wrong with this wanton destruction and destabilization of Eastern Europe?  What should we be feeling as leaders in world civil society?  Damn crappy, that's what we should be feeling.  Why bother being the big military power in the world if we can't save a bunch of Ukranians from a madman?  Yeah, that's a tough one, but, of course, it has a little to do with current American leadership.  

Our Democrat political leadership is the wrong leadership at the wrong time to save Eastern Europe.  Oh, you think Putin just wants Ukraine?  No.  He wants all of Eastern Europe.  Hopefully, Ukraine will stick in his craw, but of he does manage to roll over Ukraine, and let's be clear, he has the firepower to do just that, he will set his sites on the remainder of Eastern Europe and I'm guessing, he'll take this opportunity in the form of weak American leadership to do just that.  NATO may gather itself in time to save Eastern Europe, you never know, miracles have happened, but if he's smart, he'll do it all before the US midterm elections when we may get a Senate and Congress with enough gumption to stop him.

Our response as a world is not about Ukraine, it's about all civil societies in our world in the sites of Communist dictators.  Taiwan, where I purchase at least 50% of my goods for sale is next.  In fact, it wouldn't surprise me one little bit if that invasion started tomorrow.  What will the response of the West be then?

We have exactly the wrong leadership at exactly the wrong time in world history and that they cheated to get there annoys the hell out of me.  What we've got, instead of clear-headed, unpredictable strength, is weak-minded, compromised, feckless, and dangerous leaders in both the White House and the military.  

While our military focuses on gender pronoun training (and the Communists are laughing their asses off, guarateed), we have ship fires that don't get reported for 10 minutes, collisions, infiltration by Muslim extremists and, in general, woke behavior from military leaders that will end up killing thousands of military enlisted.  But we'll make sure to call our Chinese captors by their correct pronouns.  

What an utter debacle we have in the US Military right now.  There is nothing worse than having a weak military in the face of naked aggression, but that is our current situation, so with the announcement yesterday of a contract on Zalinski's life by Russia, it may be time to do what we do best and send special forces in to take out Putin, or assist Ukraine in the operation.  Zalinski once told Biden that he didn't need a ride out of his country, he needed more weapons!  

Americans don't understand why this plucky gentleman would give up his life for his country because we've been teaching our children to hate our country for that last 30 years. This is what love of country looks like, Democrats.  It's admirable, and the world's reaction to this gentleman's courage speaks volumes about what courage inspires in the human heart. So, when that is crushed by a far superior force, what will we do?  Will we simply return to our comfortable lives and act as though everything is OK?  I hope not.

Locking the Front Door at Night

Every night, after my husband is already snoring, I carefully check that my front door deadbolt is set to locked, then I check the back door, usually feeling my way in the dark.  I don't live in a dangerous neighborhood, but I do live near the 93 corridor and from what I am reading, I might as well live on the southern border.  

Our country is our home.  We live here.  We go to stores, schools, parks, and sporting events, and in Montana, we hike and bike in our National Forests.  We protect our homes, from criminals, mixed up strangers, and the occasional sales person.  We have rules in our household.  People call before they arrive, we have a security system largely comprised of fire arms and we guard our home like the sanctuary it is.  If we didnt care, we'd leave the doors wide open, take the locks off the doors, and anyone and everyone could access our inner sanctuary.  But we do care, because we live here.  

Apparently, that same care we have for our home is not shared by the Biden administration.  We're now approaching 180,000 illegal immigrants from more than 140 countries that have entered our home since Jan 20, 2021.  These are people who do not share the love of country that we grew up with.  These are people who can now vote in Seattle, NYC, and other metropolitan areas.  A good percentage of these people are bringing fentanel or the will to sell it to our streets.  The homeless that fill our cities and towns are often the result.  

A sheriff in Texas described his experience w the current administration as if, on Jan 20, 2021, the Biden Administration left the room, turned off the lights and shut their minds to caring about our massive, porous southern border.  Where this sherrif had visited the White House and met w Trump more than 10 times during the past 4 years, where Trump had personally asked him what he needed to keep Americans safe, where the Trump administration had asked for advice about the ability to do the job, in direct contrast, the new administration shut off the lights, left the door wide open, and left the room.  

Why should we care?  Well, honestly, I'm not sure anymore.  If 50% of this country thinks this is a good idea, maybe we should let the world in through the wide-open front door, because the Democrats sure as hell don't want to love and protect their own home anymore.  

Thank God for the intrepid men and women of the border patrol who have not given up.  Though dispirited, with no support from the Federal government, they continue to battle the mules, drug smugglers, human traffickers, and criminal element that is flooding into this country.  

They may not be living next to you, but take a good look around.  I listened to a bunch of gentlemen in Walmart the other day as they walked in a group around the store.  They were talking about what they could buy or not buy and then, I thought they were talking about clothing. The word is "ropa," but what they were saying was "roba," what they could steal.  We've given them a place to live in our tent city, now they will steal what they need. 

Will we continue to devalue our civil society to give Democrats more votes?  Probably.  Because Liberals in this country have taken the pill and they are buying the Democrat/Communist argument that these foreigners should be allowed to simply walk in our front door, enjoy the fruits of our labors and, hell, sit down in our favorite comfy chairs, raid the fridge and watch what they want on our TVs because what?  The Liberals feel sorry for them?  Screw that.  

It's time to fight for our way of life.  It's time to use our voices to protect our homes.  Because if we don't use our voices now, we'll be using our guns later.

The White Supremicist Lie

De-platform, cancel "culture," white supremacists being compared loosely to Conservative thought leaders:  if Fascism had a face, it would look like the Democrat Party and culture today.  The hypocrisy is dangerous, it is anything but "unifying," and Conservatives will continue to speak truth to power as long as we have breath.  If you still believe that the Democrat Party is "doing the right thing," you are being brainwashed, in my opinion.  There is no White Supremacist movement in the U.S. today that has any strength.  That is the biggest, most prominent lie of the moment, and the other BIG lie of the moment is that this election was free and fair.  The statistics alone are troublesome and we WILL question it, Fakebook, so you won't likely hear from me again on this platform (THINK about that). though I have chosen to publish this on my Blog.  Perhaps a condescending Liberal out there would care to point out where the violence is in this blog post.  So, ask yourself, is it a free country when Parler has been de-platformed for MUCH less than Twitter itself allows, and a CEO of a trillion dollar company can say that a major Conservative outlet, IN HIS OPINION, can be "removed" from Apple Store (which is clearly a monopoly) for "promoting violence," when examples are MYRIAD of violent entries on Facebook, Twitter, etc.  They are lying to you and muzzeling free speech.  We have arrived in Orwell's 1984 a little less than 40 years after its predicted date.  Europeans who value freedom are seeing our country fall and mourning its loss.  Reach out a little, Liberals, and see what your power structure has wrought.  Are you so afraid of counter opinions that you can have no opposition?  Do you destroy your opposition by de-funding, de-platforming and "canceling?"  Is this what you believe in?  Rule #12 in Alinsky's Rules for Radicals (these people need a 12 step program, apparently, they can't just write letters or call their Senators like the rest of us), it states that: "Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)"  This has been the strategy since 19 minutes into the Trump Presidency.  For my Never-Trumper friends, they used you mercilessly as the basis for their plan, so give that some thought.  And now they have no emergency brake on their behavior, so they created the White Supremicist-Led violence at the Capitol (which was .000003% of the million people march and I believe we will find, though it will not be reported, that Antifa & BLM agitators likely egged-on some emotional folks who would not otherwise be violent), and they will now conflate this event (20,000 troops
in the Capitol, to hold back who?  Who are they scared of?  Peace-loving Americans, apparently) with Conservative thought leaders.  It's already being discussed by vicious little radicals on CNN. Watch for the words, "debunked," "white-supremicist," "violent opposition," "radical right."  None of these words describe people I know or follow, in fact those who I listen to condemned violence, just like they did all summer, to a person.  But they have their Big Lie now and they will beat it into the ground until you might start to believe that Conservatives are white supremacist, violent, radicals though we are all around you, living our lives in peace.  I appeal now to those Liberals with moral fortitude to join us in the fight against censorship.  It may not be your side that is being suppressed or censored now, but if you have read any books about life in the Soviet Union under Socialist rule, they come after everybody in the end and it was the sympathizers that were the most surprised by despotism and authoritarian rule.  We have come fully now to the edge of reason in America and we should carefully examine our principles so that we are prepared to resist authoritarian rule.  Trump was not a fascist, authoritarian, or anything  of the sort.  That was the lie they sold you.  What you have voted for and now support?  That is the fascist Dictatorship you have so long accused us of.  I welcome your awakening and hope that it happens soon. 

Thoughts from an Angry Conservative

On the day the Capitol was breached by a mob of Antifa rioters who had managed to rile up some angry Republicans, I wrote, "I hope They Burn the Capitol to the Ground,"  That was my anger talking, never a good thing.  It was a metaphorical burning to the ground in my mind, but some people don't know that and thought leaders must be careful when they are emotional, especially me.  

My question to the Left and especially to those on the Right who correctly condemned the violence is, "When will it be OK to burn the Capitol to the ground?"  Dead Serious.  The next day, Twitter banned President Trump.  This is Soviet-style censorship, the beginnings, or maybe even the full jump into Orwellian life, but once again, the leaders on the Right roundly condemn violence.  It doesn't need to be said that the leaders on the Left do no such thing because it is considered factual, a priori, that the Left does not condemn violence.  Some Liberal thought leaders will, but those on the Left, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, they will not, and they will fund it as well.  

So, the difference is clear, the moral high ground belongs to the Right.  Show me a Right wing leader that did not condemn the violence, in Congress, in the Senate, in the talk radio world, show me that person.  Yet, you can visit many sites that have compilations of Leftist leaders encouraging violence.  Point for me.

The censorship is just the beginning.  This censorship is now accepted as part of Liberal life.  It's perfectly OK to shut down the Dan Bongino show, or any one of the conservatives who ALL, to a person, condemned violent protests.  Let me say that again, it is perfectly OK with our Liberal Left to shut down speech by those they do not agree with.  Think about that.  If the Right did that, they would be seen as extremists, wouldn't they?  So, I ask again, when is it OK to burn down the Capitol?  And what I mean by that is, when is violent protest OK?  Never?  Will it be OK when Conservatives lose their jobs in government offices?  Will it be OK when lists are made of Conservatives and they are targeted by the Left for destruction?  Or will it finally be OK when conservatives are being rounded up, taken on busses to re-education camps and either tortured or killed for their beliefs?  You don't think that can happen here?  Well, it will be more difficult bc the people of Cambodia and the Soviet Union, Poland, Venezuela, etc., didn't have guns, but we just witnessed the beginning steps in the great  totalitarian experiment.  Soon, radio will no longer have voices on the Right, Bill Maher will actually admit that his party is out of control, the electoral college will be removed, and the Leftist utopia will be installed.  The suppression of Right wing thought complete, they will rule mercilessly.  No?  What happened in Venezuela?  Nothing of interest?  

When will we have to fight with real bullets?  I want to ask that question logically, because no one else is asking.  I want us to think carefully about what it takes to preserve our Republic because I don't want us to be taken by surprise again.  

We were not prepared for infiltrators.  We were thinking we could get 1,000,000 people together and what, "show them?"  Yes, show them that we are here, that we don't believe the election count was fair or accurate.  

I will stipulate that Joe Biden won, but he won by cheating and that, in my eyes, makes him an illegitimate President.  This time though, unlike with the Russia Collusion Hoax which has been thoroughly shown to be a lie in many great books, he won by changing voting laws unconstitutionally, controlling Dominion Systems software, and controlling counts in big, unruly city voting arenas.  Touche.

We were not prepared for the Left when they shut down our meager efforts to publicize the fraud and we were not prepared for the reaction we would get in the legal system in this country, and we should have been.  In hindsight, we were naive.

I ask about violence because there are millions of people who think this might be the time.  I hope we have a peaceful way through this, but there are people who are starting to plan, to escape tyranny, to fight tyranny, or to resist tyranny, and my question is not intended to rile, but to be real, and to be prepared.  They will come for our guns next.  They care little for our Right to Bear Arms, but it keeps many crazy things from happening that we are an armed populice.  

When, then, seriously, is it OK to use violence to protect our rights and our Republic?  It is a serious question and it needs a serious answer because I will not see my fellow man being led to re-education camps or gas chambers and those things are not impossible to imagine from the Left.

Conservatives and Love

Conservatism has always and will always be a philosophy underwritten by love of country, love of Liberty, and an entrepreneurial spirit.  The Left has characterized us as the Party of Hate, but what I have found to be true after 40 years of political observation is that the Left strategically labels Conservatives with what it, the Left, IS.  

The hatred the Left has for those who love their country, care about their communities, and support our Constitution is palpable.  Not a minute did the Left give our President before the hatred started.  They hated so hard and so long that you could feel it vibrating in their speech.  And it continues now, only now it is hidden under the veneer of conciliatory speech and words like "harmony" and "peace."  

Trump said he would have happily returned to Florida and enjoyed his retirement if he had lost the election.  I believe him.  Conservatives are believers in fair play, integrity, honesty, hard work, and justice runs through all of those things.  But that's where we draw the line.  If we think you cheated to win, if the statistics are questionable (it's actually difficult to cheat on a grand scale; you have to be careful not to let too many votes go one way or another or you get spikes in the data streams like the ones we see at 2 a.m. in GA in the district where the counting went on unobserved), we will fight.  

We know there are swamp creature Republicans out there who don't share our principles, and they will soon be asked to leave the party, but the Conservative base will fight with every tool at our disposal for justice.  We will not give up, we will not give in, and we will not play nice with those who cheat should they get their hands on the reigns of power.  We will fight within our system of laws, we will use civil disobedience, and we will write.  We are so much bigger than the Left can possibly imagine.  

Some have not yet awoken to Conservatism, but the message is spreading and you can see the fear in the Left's strident reporting.  The more fearful they get, the stronger we get, so do not be sad, depressed, or down fellow Conservatives, we are Legion, and when awoken, we will be far stronger than those who are numb to our society's problems or ignorant to the Left's non-stop lies.  We are going to win the war; this is just the first battle.

The War is Joined: Call your Legislators NOW

In 2016, Politifact published an "analysis" of claims about voter fraud.  They came to a the conclusion that "claims about voter fraud are for the most part overblown or unfounded." The writer, Jon Greenberg, a forner NPR investigative reporter, went on to attack then candidate Trump's Tweet, " Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!"  Mr. Greenberg rated Trump's Tweet, "Pants on Fire," and presently, more of the same.  Enter, Sydney Powel, former Federal Prosecutor and author of, "Licensed to Lie," where she uncovered the destruction of Enron by the alphabet agencies in our corrupt government.

Sydney, it seems, has found the method of the cheating, the madness of it, and is now on her way to the Supreme Court to prove it.  Call your legislators NOW folks, because we will be determining this Presidential election in the House of Representatives.  Get your delegation to commit to vote the will of the people, or we will end up with the party that cheated to begin with.

We will have justice in the United States of Sydney Powel because, BY GOD, she said so and I'm on her side.  I wouldn't care who won the election if it were not manipulated by Smartmatic Software company.  No one would!  We believe in winning and losing fairly in this country, or, at least Conservatives do.  Liberals, it seems, are a little more shaky on this subject.  Some don't care and some do, but generally, I believe, that this country prefers its winners to actually have won.

Covid 19 may raise its ugly head here, but we will battle through that den of monsters to end up before the Supreme Court where each and every justice will have to grapple with the same outrageous evidence of cheating being brought forth by the honorable Sydney Powel.  if someone doesn't nominate her to the Supreme Court, I will be disappointed, though I'm not sure she'd take it.  God help us because we are going to need some divine intervention.  Perhaps God has already sent us Ms. Powel.  Now we must be smart enough to listen to her.

Systemic Stupidity: Preparing for the Fight

As the mechanics of our society grind slowly to life after Covid shut-downs, I look at the hives of activity and wonder at our way of life.  We live in a suburban small city in Western Montana, a University town with several small tech companies, a Direct TV Call Center, a few small manufacturers making enclosed trailers, dental equipment, and spas.  We have one of the better music venues on the Clark Fork River where we saw the B-52s last summer under the Big Sky.  We have a traditionally Liberal city council with two lone Conservatives, as you might expect in a university town, and the surrounding rural counties are great plains of conservatism surrounding the den of bears who buy run-down hotels for 40% over their value claiming they need a place for homeless Covid patients, turn private water companies into public utilities and allow health officials wide authority to limit business hours of operation, require its population to wear masks, all while claiming authority using a law that in its verbiage requires them to also remove vagrants and vagrant communities who all live happily untouched at an encampment on the Clark Fork River where they undoubtedly use the river to carry away garbage and excrement to areas downstream that they will never see.  We may never see it, but it seeps into our environment bringing dangers, I believe, far greater than breathing at others sans a mask.

People who care show up to comment at meetings where their grievances are largely ignored and the council goes merrily on its way increasing taxes where they can and making plans for more.  Most business owners, like mine, are looking for ways to leave our fair city, if they can, and move their operations to counties that still believe that there is a limit to effective taxation.  Though it has been proven time and again that people will avoid taxation by voting with their feet, our council has not an entrepreneurial bone in their body and they will continue to tax, and spend, like their is no tomorrow.  This microcosm of our federal bureaucracy is a wonderful example of the body politic and the difficulty Conservatives have in penetrating the Liberal mindset once established and ensconced in the chamber of local power.  

You'd think the Chamber of Commerce might provide a bulwark of protection against the Liberal behemoth, but though they warned local businesses against the Sign Laws introduced in the 1990s by the Liberal donor class pushing Agenda 21, there wasn't an outcry sufficient to push back against these "regulations" that seek Visual Beauty and defy common sense, so I found myself arguing with a sign Nazi about what 25% of window "space" meant when she had decided it meant window "pane."  She looked blank when I suggested that if we installed New England style windows with 8"×10" panes that I would then be forced to buy hundreds of 2"×3" signs for each "pane."  As she measured my Snowman sign and window pane in front of my customer, we both eyed the sky and wished for a simpler time.  

Our latest societal upheaval comes from the Left, no great shock there.  We are seeing middle-income white women bashing white men on behalf of black America.  Rush Limbaugh believes that our universities have indoctrinated women to believe that men are out to get them, and, if they are not beautiful, society will discriminate against them.  I thought, "No, women are smarter than that."  But I was wrong.  He was right, and I should know better than to question his wisdom after 30 years.  While I go about my daily life, running my business, making phone calls to my suppliers, dealing with customers and doing my bookkeeping, I have never thought that men suppressed me or discriminated against me due to my sex.  I also don't care what color skin my customers, suppliers, or anyone I deal with have or do not have.  Ah, but I am beautiful, so I don't have to worry about such things.  I do have a lazy eye, white freckle skin, and grayish-red thin hair, but I am genetically blessed with a combination of a Scottish father and German mother, and, of course, the kicker, I am white.  Almost too white.

What I know for certain though is that I do not live in a society that is rife with systemic racism.  Our local YWCA has a strong campaign against racism and very effectively pushes that message out to a largely accepting public who secretly think, "what racism?"  I suppose that there may be some racism against our Indian population in Montana and maybe that is what they fight against, but even our Indian customers are treated, in my store, with the same respect that I treat any white cowboy.  I cannot imagine frequenting a store that treated anyone differently than anyone else because of skin color or sexual orientation.  Now, that does not apply, in my book, to idiots and stupid people and we find those of all races, creeds and colors, so take that out of the equation right now.  

I heard an interesting explanation by Dennis Prager of the Leftist need to "solve" problems.  Mr. Prager posits that the Left in this country are not happy with peace.  They need something to gripe about because they are bored.  He blames this on the movement of the Left away from organized religion, and that may be true, but I believe that his idea that lack of spirituality breeds discontent has merit.  I am not a fan of revealed religion, but I don't hate it and I believe that our society is better off with the 10 commandments than without them.  I support those around me who love their churches and their congregations and I went with my Mom to her Orthodox Church for many years because I loved the music and the art that they bring to religious practice.  I choose to worship God in my own way and I have read every book that C.S. Lewis has ever written.  He made, by far, the best argument for Christianity that I have read, yet I still prefer to find God in my own way.  But I love peace.  I love it so much that I am willing to buy and store guns in order to defend it.  Yes, that may seem a contradiction to some, but peace is worth fighting and dying for in my book.

It may be that time to defend peace.  The Left is working hard to break our lovely society and I don't know what our fight will look like.  It may come in the courts defending against voter fraud, and it may come in the streets defending against organized Leftists who seek to disrupt our city centers.  But when the fight comes to small town Montana, we will be ready.  If you disrupt our idyllic life, you will pay with yours.  I feel very strongly about that, so take care, BLM, I am not alone.  If you bring your violence any further into small town America, you will meet with a fierceness that you have not yet faced.  We love our peace, and we will defend it both against fraud and destruction.  I love my little town and I love even its Liberal people, and if you threaten us here, it will look different.  We will never let you destroy our lives, so fair warning.  I sincerely hope the Left will simply give up, go back to their lives and let us run the country correctly with low taxation, less government and adherence to Constitutional Principles.  That sounds almost as idyllic as my little town and its hives of activity.  Unlike our Leftist friends, however, I don't believe utopia exists here on earth and so I prepare for the fight.

One who believes otherwise

Flummoxed By The Liberal Mind

Trump releases a transcript of the conversation he has in which there is no resemblance of a quid-pro-quo (QPQ). The whistle blower, who is really not a whistle blower but a heresay-blower because of a recent and suspicious rule-change, becomes irrelevant by any stretch of logic and Adam Schiff creates a Parody in which he lies, outright, to the American people in his opening statement of the House Judiciary Committee, making up his own version of the conversation. Our family's favorite Liberal calls my husband an "asshole" and says, "you know the whistle blower was telling the truth." What kind of mind are we dealing with here?

They call it, humorously, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and it may be, but to me, it is far more pernicious. It is a form of brainwashing through propaganda where the facts are conveniently ignored and buried amidst a cacophony of "reports" by the media that continue to insist that Schiff's claim is valid when there is no evidence. Is it a matter of ignorance? I don't think so.

In Darkness at Noon, the seminal book by Koestler, written in 1938 about the leaders of the Glorious (Russian) Revolution who eventually confessed to acts they did not commit, the confessors were both political and intellectual leaders with no small pedigree. Ignorance was not the issue. It was from this book that the term brainwashing was born. Are we witnessing a form of brainwashing now in the partnership between Liberals and the Media? It is my contention that there exists a form of hope, which the protagonist in Darkness at Noon, Rubashov, has that explains the attraction of totalitarian ideologies: the hope that the political class can bring to pass a classless society, a kind of utopia, if you will.

We can see this now in the inexplicable actions of Democrats who insist that a conversation we have all read says something it does not say. Within this enigma is the hope that the party leaders can bring about the impeachment of Donald Trump simply by repeating that there was a QPQ, even though the other party to that conversation insists that there was not. This is a political hope, one that is not likely to bear fruit because our founders put in place checks on this sort of thing, but it doesn't matter the level of success if you have convinced your followers that what you are saying is true.

Our favorite Liberal is clearly convinced that Donald Trump is the Devil and that he did, indeed, hold a conversation with the Ukranian President that had at its core a QPQ. Her voice will be added to many others and the lie will propagate. And what will we see at the end when the lie is shown to be a lie? Hope lives eternal in the Liberal heart, and even a transcript will not sway the faithful. They will insist, as those who are brainwashed will do, that the lie is the truth and there is obviously an attempt by the vile opposition to subvert the glorious efforts of the Democrats who, as you should know by now, care more than others about our society. This sympathetic nature gives the Democrat its authority and thus its veracity in all matters.

The Rubashov theory of confessions is a nod to the Machiavellian thought that the ends justify the means just as long as what you are doing is justified by your faith in your political beliefs. There is a screwed-up logic there that leads to truth equals lies and all is justified by what is noble in the mind of the participant.

In my world, it looks like propaganda has lead to the brainwashing of large swaths of our political participants and that is never good. Somewhere in all of these paradoxical statements should be some semblance of truth. The real truth.

So far, I believe President Trump stands on terra firma and, if necessary, we shall see this as the wheels of justice turn slowly toward the Senate. I, too, have hope, but it is a hope based on liberty, freedom, and individual responsibility, not on utopian ideology. But my thoughts and my opinions are not in line with Liberal ideology, so they have no bearing on the Liberal mind, because the Liberal mind has closed for business. It is their way or the highway, and that, my fellow human, is the beginning of the totalitarian journey.

The Sad Victims of Propaganda

I include my father in the category above.  After listening to Rachel Maddow and believing her for many years, when I mentioned that Donald Trump's campaign was the target of several major U.S. agencies in a cabal of spying, my dad very quickly told me that Donald Trump would be hauled away from the White House in "cuffs."  Really?

Our main-stream media (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times) have convinced more than half of our country that, despite two years of exhaustive investigation by vengeful partisans, Donald Trump is still a bad, bad man.

The latest, and most laughable comes from the same idiots in our softball media in a report on Michael Cohen, Trump's one-time, now discredited and fired lawyer, who had a conversation with, and remember the name, Victor Vexelburg.  It's COLLUSION all over again claim the morons in our press.  Michael Cohen is a scumbag who taped his client in an effort to hold onto information that he could  sell later.  He also sold his position of influence as the Presidential candidate's lawyer to various people, including this Vexelburg.

The reason this is so incredibly vexing for those of us who pay attention to the "players" in our political elite, is that Vexelburg is the Russian Oligarch who not only donated to the Clinton Foundation, but did so when Bill Clinton was President, his wife was Secretary of State and Mr. Vexelburg was the founder of Renova; while the head of Renova, Vexelburg was named the head of the Skalkavo Project which was a technology-based silicone valley scam company that was set-up primarily to steal American technology.  Hillary's staff pushed for a meeting with Bill Clinton and Vexelburg who convinced El Presidente that having a bunch of US companies join in the "project" would be a good idea.

After another giant donation to the Clinton Foundation, Bill Clinton also visited Russia and gave a speech where he met with Davorovich who was the founder of the Uranium One project.  There is much more to this story which you can find at a real media outlet, the Federalist.

I don't know, maybe you think it's perfectly OK to have our companies hand their technology over to the Russians and maybe it's OK for Clinton to give speeches in Russia after his foundation receives $500k, but it's the "COLLUSION" narrative in the media today claiming that Trump was somehow a puppet of Vexelburg via Michael Cohen is more than I can take, rationally.

I can't help but ask my Liberal friends, "Are you STUPID?"  Ask yourself this question, Liberals because your blanket ignorance of the worst media disgrace in our country's history is laughable when you get your panties in a twist about a 2nd hand conversation by an ex-Trump lawyer who had a conversation with a bad boy of Russian high finance.  Dear Lord.

It's time for me to go and bang my head on my desk now.

Totalitarian Tester

Why should you vote for Matt Rosendale?  I'll tell you why:  Matt Rosendale will go to Washington D.C. and vote like a Conservative. 

John Tester, on the other hand, will vote exactly how his masters, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, tell him to.  Now, he may not be completely under their thumb, but NOBODY can take the kind of money he's taken from the Democrat machine and not be beholden in some way, shape, or form.  Senators from this state may go to DC saying they'll buck the money guys, but after 12 years, they are bought and paid for, at least Tester is.  NO ONE should be in DC that long and I firmly support Convention of States and the term limits supported therein.

Just look at what our Senator said about Ron Jackson when Trump suggested the unlikely candidate for head of the Veteran's Administration.  Dear Lord, the crap he spewed about the long-time white house doctor was diabolical.  Using heresay stories to impune the character of a man who has served our country through multiple administrations, Tester did the bidding of his masters and smeared the good doctor until he was forced to resign.  Close friends say that Admiral Jackson could not defend himself because it would have involved revealing classified information and he was not willing to do that OR to put his family through the hell that we clearly see the Left is willing to rain down upon any Trump nomination.  So, there again we see clearly that John Tester is willing to smear his political enemies and in the process exhibit his clear lack of moral character. 

No longer are those politicians on the Left like John Tester willing to battle their political opponents on the issues, instead, Tester takes the easy way out choosing the much easier smear tactics usually reserved for use by campaign lackeys.  Tester isn't afraid, it seems, to personally smear his opponents.  Take the Eagle Crest development, for example, and the spurious commercial "approved" by Tester that accuses his opponent of building faulty foundations and calling Rosendale a "fraud." Impuning his opponents character with outright lies apparently doesn't trouble John Tester one bit.  Here is a quote from one of the lawyers representing the defendents in the Eagle Crest development case, "I deposed Matt Rosendale, and I found him to be somebody well prepared for deposition and someone who is on the up and up and ethical,” Stephanie Oblander said, adding his company provided the necessary information to contractors. The Great Falls Tribune story continues, 'Oblander, a supporter of Rosendale who said she was critical of Tester, said she was an attorney in two of the lawsuits in which Eagles Crossing, an entity owned by Rosendale, prevailed in 2015 and 2016.  She said Eagles Crossing was vindicated in the two lawsuits that decided developer duty. She believes the ad is unfair.'  Huh, so, once again, Tester is willing to impune the character of his opponent with outright lies and half-truths. I'm thinking the head of the Crow tribe may have Tester figured out which may account for his change in support from Tester to Rosendale. 

I could write several more pages of crap spewed forth by the Tester campaign and John Tester himself, but we have already established his willingness to smear, so let's look instead at Tester's record in the Senate.  The moderately conservative Democrat from Montana who supports gun rights, small business, and economic policies that help the people of Montana disappears when he arrives in Washington DC.  Instead, the life of relative luxury in his big ol house in DC kicks in and he forgets all about those relatively conservative promises he made to get elected in a relatively conservative state.  Instead, he heads out to his favorite DC restaurants and joins his Leftist buddies drinking and laughing at the rubes in Montana who sent him there.  It's time for this guy to be put back out to pasture, and my guess?  He doesn't return to Montana except to visit, instead choosing the high life as a K Street lobbyist just like hundreds of other Senators whose voters finally figured them out. 

So, when you're thinking that maybe those ads claiming Rosendale is some lackey for insurance companies might have validity, take a gander at John Tester's Federal Election Commission webpage and check out the massive dollars being funneled into Tester's campaign by, yep, you guessed it, big insurance companies (the really big ones who got to sit in on the closed-door meetings with Harry Reid during the so-called Affordble Care Act "negotiations," and what is even more disheartening, every Democrat, Socialist, Leftist group on this earth has contributed to Tester's $15,000,000 war chest.  Hop on over to Rosendale's FEC page and you'll find that the reason you're hearing 4-to-1 Tester ads is likely due to the less than 5 million that Rosendale has at his disposal to defend himself against the constant attacks leveled against him day and night in one of the most expensive campaigns of all time.

They are concerned, folks, because in a state where Trump won by 20 points, they know that there are Republicans who must be supporting Tester and they are scared to death that those Republicans might just wake the hell up and vote with the President in this election.  So, take a HARD look at the claims that John Tester is making with all that money, and THINK about why it is VITAL to the U.S. at this point in time that Montanans term limit their 12-year Senator and send a Conservative to support our President to do the Conservative things that we know are true and good like banning this ridiculous sanctuary city/state movement, protecting our sovereign borders, continuing to support economic development by cutting taxes and lowering government spending (well, hopefully THIS time around anyway), supporting Liberty through sound fiscal policy, and finally, voting the Conservative values that are strong in America's Last Best Place.  Support Rosendale for U.S. Senate and increase the Conservative Caucus' numbers because Conservatives know full well, they are the only representatives we can count on in this crazy political climate.  Now, go vote your Conservative values!

Do We Due Process? Or Don't We?

When I was in high school (Judge Kavanaugh would have been in my graduating class), I remember being educated in my health class about what to do in the case of rape.  A local woman police officer came to our class and talked to us about what was necessary in law enforcement in order to bring a successful case against a rapist. 

 It was shocking; shocking that we had to go to the hospital first, that this thing called a "rape kit" with semen samples and vaginal fluids would be collected, that pictures would be taken, immediately, in order to see bruises in the vaginal area before they disappear.  I remember thinking that it would be like being raped all over again.  This is what women do every day in our country; they "suck it up," get rape kits and go through unadulterated hell, again, in order to bring their rapist to justice. 

 I remember thinking that it was monumentally unfair that a woman, who had just been violated, would have to be violated all over again in order to put her attacker behind bars. This is one of the reasons that women are different, why they deserve support, why I belong to an organization that supports them, because women have an extra burden in our society and in our system of justice, a burden that men do not have.   In order to bring a rapist to justice, women have to endure hell, again. 

Due process is one of those foundational concepts in a society that depends on the rule of law. Should we put it aside for women who come forward many, many years later? Should we give the benefit of doubt to the accuser? The burden is an awesome one. And what if the woman has an agenda? Are we to believe that women cannot lie?  

_;The statistics cited for false accusations are ambiguous and indeterminate.  For instance, most sources cite that as much as 10% of accusations of rape are proven false and that of those, a very tiny percentage result in jail time for the accused.  It's good that a tiny percentage are falsely imprisoned, but imprisonment is not the only result that can ruin the accused.  Just the accusation made by a woman who has no record of suspicious behavior is enough to result in lost job opportunities, broken marriages and the types of things that happen in cases where one's reputation is destroyed.  The statistic that may be more interesting is the number of accusers who spend time in jail for falsely accusing someone which I am guessing is roughly equivalent to the number of those who spend time in jail after being falsely accused. Neither of these numbers help us in our search for truth and justice.  Simply citing a statistic and claiming that 9 out of 10 women are telling the truth and that makes false accusation OK is like saying that 9 out of 10 murderers are lying about not killing someone, so the person who says they didn't kill someone is a murderer.  A low percentage chance of a false accusation is not a good defense of the accusers' believability.  That's 1 out of 10, and that's enough for me to look for corroborating evidence.  I no more want to convict an innocent person of murder than I want to convict an innocent man of rape. Percentage chances are lousy determinative factors; they are what they are: percentage chances, not evidentiary proof.

There are women on social media right this minute saying that they don't care, that men deserve to lose their jobs, their families, and that those who are prosecuted unjustly should just "get over it."  Statements that separate the men in our lives from us as if it is always someone else's man who will be accused are unrealistic and reckless.  Most women don't exist separately from the men in their lives: their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons. We love them, we care for them, and we receive love and support from them.  So, making statements that "men deserve it," or that we don't "care" what happens to them are idiotic and sexist, in the worst possible way.

Women every day, in business and in the criminal justice system depend on due process in their own lives.  If we throw due process under the bus, we will ;become a dictatorial country where, I can assure my readers, women are not treated well.  Ask women in Venezuela or Estonia where they would rather reside, in a country where the rule of law is respected or a country where you can be accused and convicted in the same sentence?  

After listening to an emotionally devastated Judge Kavanaugh list the many women who testified on his behalf, I believe that those who come forward saying things like, "I believe Dr. Ford," are not being intellectually honest.  Judge Kavanaugh deserves to have our Senators consider the preponderance of the evidence.  Those who follow the Chuck Schumer playbook will exclaim that they don't believe a Judge who has kept a calendar from 36 years ago and has submitted a letter from 65 women through all walks of his life who have testified to his non-violent nature.  Those people are not weighing the evidence without bias.  They are letting the Democrat playbook determine their vote.  

Dr. Ford has offered no supporting evidence in the form of corroborating testimony or written journals.  The people she claims were near or in the room have submitted written testimony that they were not there and the event did not take place.  The Democrats are demanding an FBI investigation, of course. What, exactly, is the FBI going to investigate?  They would take statements from Judge Kavanaugh (and would likely give him a high degree of credibility due to his long record of service free from accusation), and they would take statements from Ms. Ford.  The FBI would not take the lie detector testimony into consideration.  Mr. Judge has already submitted his testimony.  The FBI would take the testimony, fill out the 302 forms and send them back up to the committee.  If the Democrats honestly cared about the truth, they would have insisted on investigating these claims when they received Dr. Ford's letter many months ago.  It could have been done in closed session, privately, saving Dr. Ford from unpleasant confrontations.  But I think the Democrats were looking for political theater and they have gotten it, in spades.

The Judiciary Committee is performing the very same "investigation" that the FBI would perform and there is no conclusion because they cannot come to one based on Dr. Ford's testimony.  The FBI, as Joe Biden has famously declared, does not "make conclusions," so Sen. Durbin's theatrics as he asks Mr. Kavanaugh to turn to his left and ask a lawyer there to begin an FBI investigation is just that, theatrics. Theatrics in the face of emotional testimony on both sides where lives are being changed are despicable, but that is  typical for Senator Durbin who faithfully carries the party line and has not let an original thought cross his mind in many years.  

If we are going to destroy people's lives with no evidence, we are a country that will believe anything.  Will we no longer require that women provide rape kits as supporting evidence, or file police reports, or document the incident in a journal or tell their best friend, no matter the difficulty?  If we no longer require evidence, we set ourselves up for the worst kind of division.  False accusers will be able to level charges against your father, my brother, your son, and my dad without having to do the hard work required to make sure that evidence is collected and the accused gets his day in court.

The hard work of collecting evidence may not be popular with the women who write emotional stories about long-ago assaults, but it is vital to those who are serious about convicting violent offenders.  Due process is necessary and needed in a world where women must be taken seriously when they provide painful testimony, go through the process required to provide rape kits to a judge or jury, and show incredible bravery in testifying against someone who has harmed them physically.  We NEED due process and I, for one, support the rule of law.  

Are we to throw out due process because women are psychologically damaged and because they are damaged, they don't report?  This kind of accusation, if it is taken seriously by our political bodies, creates division between those in our society who believe in the rule of law and those who believe that there need be no evidence to prove assault, not to mention the division it will create between men and women!  Women have asked to be treated as equals in our society, but now we are asking for something more, to be believed no matter the situation.  We are asking for a special status, and for what?  For politics?  I don't believe that it gives our gender an advantage to request special status.  It might bring some women immediate gratification as men are trotted off to jail, but in the end, it will harm us by dividing us.

We can now expect, on both sides of the isle, to see a parade of accusers come forward with baseless accusations from 36 years ago in order to have their political "way" with the confirmation of judges.  Our courts should not be subject to this drama. I've heard women I respect say that coming forward 36 years later is "not political" and that claim is not based in reality.  Of course it's political: it's part of how we exist in our society and how we live within a society that is based on the rule of law.  

I will support women who do the hard work of collecting evidence and testifying under terrible pressure, but I will not support women who come forward 36 years after a drunken house party that never told anyone, never reported it to the police and never did the hard work. Testimony like Dr. Ford's diminishes the efforts of women who are, as we speak, doing the hard work to make the case against their attackers in our nation of laws.

Obama's Scandals are Coming Home to Roost

Those of you who know me understand that I am a Conservative, have been since I wrote my first paper in high school about the book by Alexander Solzhenitsyn entitled "Day in the Life of Ivan Dinesovich." 

Well, I'm floored.  The Obama administration was so completely corrupt, lying about crucial issues, this last one a real doozy.  The Obama administration "assured" Republicans again and again that Iran would not have access to the American banking system, but they outright lied.  And this was all to avoid what?  Outrage by the Right?  It certainly wasn't to gain support for a treaty because there was no treaty, and Obama knew that this farse would never have passed the Senate.  But I bet old Bob Corker, head Republican moron, would have changed his tune. 

Obama proudly brags that there were no scandals in his administration.   That's because his administration WAS a scandal.  From "deeming" a rotton, behind-closed-doors "negotiated" ACA to battlefield rules of engagement that have a patriotic army lietenant serving a 20 year sentence, to the outrage of sending spies into the Trump campaign after sweeping Hillary Clinton's many lies and evations under the FBI's politically influenced rug of protection, it is no wonder that Democrats like Doug Shoen are questioning the party leadership. 

The Democrat Party, under Barack Obama's leadership is a radical version of it's former self.  A Democrat Party once Pro-Abortion, pro-big government has turned into a party of multicultural open borders, government funding of just about anything, and a serious tilt toward socialism.  Any resemblance to the Democrat Party of JFK is gone. 

Most Americans don't follow politics enough to care.  They have a general idea of how they want to live their lives, what they believe in and what the party they support believes in.  But while they are comfortably living in a society undergirded by free market capitalism, they are free to dabble in the oxymoronic democratic socialism that so many activists hold close to their hearts.  No such thing exists, of course, because a socialist society is, by definition, one in which the means of production is controlled by the state.  But they continue to argue that we can have some kind of hybrid, where capital is freely exchanged, the means of production are still privately controlled, but the state has it's fingers in the pie to "protect" the public interests.  And, in fact, that's what we currently have.

I do not accept this hybrid as democratic socialism because it's not even close and the more we allow the state to control the means of production, the closer we move to socialism.  There IS NO democratic socialism because the tipping point results in Socialism and Socialism results in state control of more than just the means of production because human nature is what it is.  The great philosophers knew that once a social institution gains central power, they don't relinquish it, and the argument for democracy through the centuries has been fought again and again.  But we don't teach the great philosophers anymore.  If anyone reads Marx it's because they are taking Political Philosophy in college. And in those classrooms, Marx is revered for a system of control that my father (PhD Sociology) believes would work but that I believe has been shown, miserably, to fail. 

As Ivan Dinesovich dug marks into his cell wall, he contemplated the social construct that resulted in his confinement and found it lacking in human Liberty.  We give great powers to our political leaders and the rule of law is divided when those leaders are corrupt which leads us to a system where a Navy Corporal sits in jail for taking pictures on his submarine while his Secretay of State runs an unsecure server, wipes out thousands of emails, erases the hard drive with Bleachbit and destroys cell phones with hammers and runs for President, fully protected by a politically supportive justice department.

Obama's scandals are very real and myriad.  If life were fair, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Rod Rosenstein, Jim Comey, James Clapper and John Brennan would be carving dates into the rock walls of their cold, damp cells and enjoying the fruits of a system they so love during their long days working on collectivist farms. 

HEY, NUMNUTS!

HEY, NUMNUTS!

Yeah, I'm talking to you moronic 17-year old victims out there being bussed to your marches by George Soros or any other socialist, leftist wackjobs that eat up your ignorance and rush to display it on screens across the world.  You are ignoramuses who are using a tragedy to hand your rights away.  It seems silly, now, to say, "you will regret it," when I hear the voices of opposition rising in a fever pitch of whiney sensationalism: "How can you support selling military-style assault rifles to young, impressionable, possibly depressed 18-year olds?"  This is all said in a valley-girl, gay-styled inflection with an undercurrent of five-year-old whine. 

Ok, so if you step back and think about it, which only those who have reached a basic level of maturity can do, there are so many things wrong with that question that it is difficult to address each of the issues in sound-bite-sized arguments that might actually penetrate the muddled thoughts of those who think they are saving the world while they are tearing the fabric of free society asunder.

AR15S ARE NOT MILITARY STYLE ASSAULT WEAPONS!!

THEY ARE RIFLES

And stop with the "military guy" posts in social media by so-called ex-military guys who talk about AR15s like they are AK47s.  If these idiots are comparing the AK to the AR, they dont know what they are talking about and should be ashamed of themselves.  But they are young, buff, and cool, and therefore MUST know something!  Nope.

YOU ARE MARCHING TO TAKE YOUR OWN RIGHTS AWAY AND GIVE THE SAME IDIOTS WHO JUST VOTED TO PUT YOUR GREAT GRAND CHILDREN IN DEBT TO FUND BULLSHIT PROGRAMS GREATER POWER AND CONTROL OVER YOUR LIVES.  THAT MAKES YOU STUPID.

If you are out there marching, you are one of the usefully idiots that Stalin so adored. 

My favorite quote so far: Liberalism: when you believe teenagers don't know enough about guns to own them, but know enough about guns to decide whether or not YOU should own them.

This is all SUCH bullshit, and just because these are KIDS doing the marching, politicians are wringing their hands and losing their principles.   Well, STOP IT.  GET SOME GONADS and quit cowering while the Left steals our rights.  We are stronger than this.  Fight back!
