The Real Truth About January 6th 2021

 

All day I have been listening to the recounting of the events that occurred on the

6^th of January, 2021. Everyone condemns the violence and lawlessness that unfolded that day at the hands of a relative few of the protesters. That is where the concurrence ends.

Let's get one thing straight. The vast majority of the people attending the rally that preceded the riot were there to peacefully protest a stolen election. The 2020 election was stolen away from the American people, and the win was granted to the wrong man. PERIOD! While I do not condone the violence, I understand it. The stealing of an election in a country such as ours, admired around the world for our free and fair elections, is a very, very big deal. Such a blatant criminal effort has never before been attempted in our nation, never mind succeeded in the spectacular fashion that we witnessed on November 3rd 2020.

For anyone reading this who is shaking their head, certain that I am wrong about the stealing of the election, one of two things is true. Either they have not seen the vast amount of irrefutable evidence of the theft of the election, or they are lying. It is as simple as that; two possible reasons why anyone denies the stolen election of 2020. And the first is not surprising, since the media has refused to cover the facts. This bending of the media to one political persuasion is, by the way, the most disastrous and dangerous state of affairs that exists in American today, but that is for another article.

For today, let us at least put the events of January 6^th 2021 in perspective. For example, I find it curious that the democrats had so very little to say over the entire preceding summer of 2020, when their supporters trashed, looted and burned cities around the country in over 500 violent riots in which dozens of people were killed and scores injured, not to mention the countless businesses that were destroyed and the attempts to burn down multiple government buildings, including a police station that was filled with officers at the time. To then make the January 6^th riot seem like Armageddon, where one un-armed individual was killed, and she by Capitol Police, strikes me, at the very least, as politically expedient.

Let us also understand that it appears highly likely that the riot on January 6^th was, in fact, at least condoned, if not instigated by the democrats themselves, in order to create exactly the punching bag they needed to demonize Trump supporters for years to come. There are several examples of individuals who are on video as instigating, agitating and encouraging the lawless break-in of the capitol building, who were mysteriously dropped from the list of perpetrators to be prosecuted, or not even named at all. There is also video of several individuals at the riot in headgear and ear monitors, presumably involved in coordinating the activity, who were also not named or even pursued.

Add to that the fact that Nancy Pelosi, who denied the pleas of Donald Trump to have the National Guard on hand that day, refuses to answer questions under oath or allow her communications records on that day and prior, to be examined. Same with the mayor of D.C., who also failed to respond to requests that the National Guard be called up as a safety measure. Pelosi, in fact, went out of her way to insure that there were fewer Capitol Police on hand than would ordinarily be the case for a protest of that size. Why would she do that? Why will she not answer questions? Why is she hiding her communications records? Pelosi may be a hideous individual, and she surely is, but she is not stupid. She knew that they needed something in the final moments of the Trump presidency, and in the wake of a stolen election that they were desperate to hide, to distract and use as a cudgel against those who supported Trump and decried the stealing of the election. And she successfully created it.

To listen to the democrats moan and sigh all day today, expressing their gratitude that, in the end, the “threat to democracy” was averted, is, frankly, nauseating. No, my democrat friends, the threat to democracy occurred on the 3rd of November 2020 when the will of the American people was ripped away, and the lawfully chosen candidates (not just the president) were criminally replaced with democrats who lost. The fact that the media refuses to expose the truth of the stolen election does not diminish the truth of it, which is readily discoverable and demonstrable, and remains utterly undeniable.

So let's stop pretending that the Trump supporters are the monsters in this whole episode. While the violent and criminal acts that a few perpetrated on January 6^th were not supportable, neither was the criminal and outrageous trampling of the American people's choice in the election of 2020. That is, after all, the instigating event for the January 6^th riot, and remains the most vile and horrific action, perpetrated by democrats and their friends, that has taken place in American history. Period.

George Floyd Aftermath: This Insanity Must Stop ... message to Black Lives Matter and other misguided black Americans

(not addressed to the majority of black Americans who are doing the right thing)

I have some news for you here. There IS no systemic racism in America today. People with dark skin have the same opportunity to succeed and thrive in this country as people with light skin. Period. We need to stop pretending that racism is keeping black Americans down. It is not. Liberal policies make it tougher, but black Americans can still overcome. Here are my thoughts as to how.

But, you say, the schools are not as good for blacks. The neighborhoods not as safe. Not as many jobs where we live. Inferior housing. These disadvantages do exist, but they are the results of mis-management by those in official positions and related to poverty, not racism. There are plenty of white people living with these exact same disadvantages. (White privilege, by the way, is a crock of you-know-what— more on that in future blog post.)

Notice I said disadvantages, not impenetrable road blocks. Anyone in America, even those in poor neighborhoods with lousy schools, can succeed in this country. That is an undeniable truth, and I do not understand why black Americans are allowing the Left's nonsensical drivel to take that from them. Is it just because it's easier to be a victim? Maybe so, but so many black Americans have proved that it is much more rewarding to be someone who strives, despite their disadvantages, and succeeds in life.

Black Americans have excelled in our country all throughout its history and still do, from inner city neighborhoods with absent fathers as well as those from more affluent circumstances with intact, nurturing families. People who grew up in abject poverty with drug dealers on every corner and crumbling, ineffective schools and no good jobs in their neighborhoods have succeeded despite it all, as have middle and upper middle class black Americans. Not saying that this is an easy thing to do, but it can be done.

My fellow Americans with black/brown skin, do you not know that you're being used by the liberal left for their own purposes? They do not give one rat's behind about the so-called black community (don't like that term, as it separates us). If they cared, they would look at the state of the black family, the desperate situation of inner city primarily black neighborhoods, the high rates of black baby mamas with no fathers in sight, the horrific scourge of black on black murder where hundreds and thousands of young black men are being killed. They should conclude that, since their policies to "help" the black population have obviously failed, they must sit down, scrap what they've been doing and change it to more positively effective policies. But they don't do that.

The ultra-liberal left and many of the leaders in the Democrat Party want you, black Americans, to be kept down. They don't want you to succeed. If you succeed, you won't need them and you won't vote for them. And if the Democrats lose the black vote, they lose all together. That is why they don't care about your plight. That is why they want you to believe that you are victims and you can't get along in life without their help and support. And that is nonsense!

In the hundred years following emancipation of slaves, blacks made progress in leaps and bounds, despite the abject racism that plagued them daily, much more severely than today. They began to buy land, start farms, build businesses, purchase homes, form churches, found colleges and nurture their families, where only about 19% of children were born out of wedlock by 1940 (75% today). They were on the move, despite the horrific injustices that they routinely encountered, and they would have continued in their upward trajectory on their own.

But then, the Democrats decided to "help" them along. Starting in the mid-1960's, the Democrats began to unfold all sorts of social and economic programs, presumably meant to assist the poor, including many black families. Nearly sixty years later, we see the results. Poor black Americans on average, and in inner cities especially, have declined in nearly every measure of societal health since the "help" began. We all need to admit that this is true and step back, take a look at what is causing this decline, and change it. 

Here is where black Americans can begin to reclaim the autonomy stolen from them by the Democrats. Studies have shown that if you do three simple things, you are virtually guaranteed not to live your life in poverty. 1) graduate high school 2) do not make a baby until you are married 3) get a job, any job, and keep it. Not so hard. Of course, a good dose of determination and self-discipline will go a long way toward speeding your way to affluence, as so many black Americans have demonstrated, but those three things alone will keep you from having to live at the bottom of the barrel.

So, am I saying there is no racism? Not at all. There are racist people in every culture, in every society, in every organization, in every business, in every community because it is a human fault and it will never be eradicated. Never. There will always be ignorant people, let's face it. If a person's racism enables them or causes them to perpetrate physical violence on someone, that constitutes a crime and should be prosecuted like any crime. The officer who killed George Floyd should be brought to justice, whether or not his actions were taken due to racism, which hasn't been proved as of yet.

Racist people who do not do you physical harm need to be ignored. If you look for racism wherever you go, you're sure to find it. If, on the other hand, you choose to ignore it when it crops up and focus on your own ability to overcome and succeed despite ignorant people in your world, you'll do much better. 

Racist people may harm you in other ways; denying you a mortgage or a place in a University, refusing you entrance to a social organization or discouraging you from moving to a particular neighborhood or making it difficult for you to vote, for example. Well, the first thing you do is find a good civil rights lawyer, because all those are already against the law. Who knows, an illegal action against you due to your race might end up netting you more than you lost in the initial infraction.

And please don't tell me I don't know what it's like because I am white. I have a right to state what I believe based on what I see and observe and learn from my black friends and black public figures whom I admire. I have experienced discrimination too, for different reasons than my skin color, which may be different, but not entirely different. I'm able to empathize with what black Americans go through when encountering racist people.

But, you may say, police, specifically, treat blacks with much more suspicion and hostility than they treat whites, you can't deny that. Okay, I'll accept that... in some cases, not all. Most police strive to treat everyone with equal respect. But I also understand that, particularly those officers serving in urban areas, know that blacks commit, proportionally, more of the crime that they encounter every day than whites. Not my opinion, not a racist statement, simply a fact.

The fact is, blacks are actually less frequently the victims of police shootings than whites. The idea that black Americans are being hunted down and shot by police is a fantasy, totally untrue. Unarmed white perpetrators are twice as likely to be shot as unarmed blacks. When rates of criminal behavior is factored in, blacks are far less likely to be shot than whites. (institute of scientific research (ISR) in Boston, MA)

Two more simple statistics illustrate why an inner city cop might be more aggressive, hostile or suspicious with a black man than a white man. fact #1: Black Americans are about 13% of the population of the United States, yet are responsible for over 50% of all murders in the United States. fact #2: It is statistically far more likely for a white cop to be murdered by a black man than for an unarmed black man to be killed by a white cop. Again, not my opinion, these are the facts. 

Police who treat blacks with less respect, who treat them harshly, are likely not doing it because they hate blacks. Although it doesn't make it right, they may well be doing it because they know that, proportionately, blacks commit more of the crimes that they see, day in and day out, mostly perpetrated on other black Americans, by the way. These cops don't hate blacks. They would simply like to go home at night.

Of course, this disparaging treatment of many innocent black Americans due to the behavior of a small minority of black criminals is not at all fair. It is not fair that blacks are pulled over more often, for example (although, again, blacks commit proportionately more traffic infractions than whites). 

If there were a sudden crime wave in my city being committed by middle-aged white women with pony tails, I would expect that I'd be pulled over more often. Not that it would be fair, and it is not fair that black citizens may be viewed with more suspicion, either. But that is what it is, and it is not primarily due to racism, it's simply not. It's due to criminality.

Not saying that there are not racist cops. As I said earlier in this piece, there are racists in every human population or organization. But most cops are not racist. The racist cop who acts out to injure or kill a black man is exceedingly rare and must be charged and face justice. Often, they get away with more minor racist incidents, as was reportedly the case with the officer who killed Mr. Floyd. These need to be documented and nipped in the bud when they occur, not left to fester and grow. (Just a hint, let's start with the unions that make it almost impossible to fire or even demote a police officer.)

Yes, I said it is rare. And I would ask you, before you start listing all the black men killed by cops in recent years, to consider the following; the vast majority of those men on your list were a) in the process of committing a crime b) fleeing police and refusing to stop when told to c) attacking the police officer who ultimately shot or killed him. Did the perpetrator deserve to be shot or killed? No, of course not. Punishment for whatever crime they were involved in needs to be left to the court system. But, how about this?... if you don't want to be shot by a cop, don't commit a crime. It just may reduce your chances.

I know there are a very few examples where the white police officer shot or killed a black citizen who was not engaged in criminal activity at all. Some were genuine mistakes. Among the hundreds of millions of encounters that police make every year, there are bound to be a few mistakes, which are unfortunate, very sad, and happen more often to whites than to blacks. Others were due to a lapse in judgement or deviation from the officer's training and accepted practices. These need to be adjudicated as is appropriate for the offense. Some, a very few, were no doubt due to a police officer whose racist ignorance prompted him to do wrong, and those should be fired, charged and face the justice system, just as the killer of George Floyd has been and will be.

So my question is, what can black Americans themselves do to reduce the perceived racism that is making people go insane in our cities this week? Let's put the power to change things back into the hands of those who are suffering.

They can start with the three steps listed above, and they can stay away from drugs, gangs and criminal activity. Easier said than done? Of course! So let's all sit down and figure out which steps communities can take to help enable those three things and what we can do to help young people avoid gangs and drugs and crime. But we need to focus on change in the lives of black Americans, not the police departments.

Why do you think police take the job in the first place? To vent their racist rage? Because they like to kill people? Because they're bullies? Would those motives be worth putting their own lives at risk every day, working long shifts at all hours of the day and night for mediocre pay? I don't think so.

Police take the job because they care about people... of all colors. They want to help people, prevent them from being victimized by criminals and keep their neighborhoods and communities safe. They care. That is why they do the job. Please do not let a very few bad cops define the rest of the many, many good cops. I promise you, if I waved a magic wand and black and white crime rates were suddenly equal, you'd see a rapid decline in racism in general and in unequal treatment by police in particular.

If you think I am racist for writing this post, you're wrong. I'm sorry if the truth decimates your world view. Actually, I have heard most of these ideas and opinions voiced in recent days by black Americans. You think I am lecturing you? Yeah, I am! You're ruining our country with false cries of racism and busting up our cities to rob and loot. I have a right to lecture. Somebody has to.

But, I hope you will read it again and consider the possibility that the liberal Democrats are the ones with the boot on your necks and that you can improve yourself and your community so that treatment of innocent blacks becomes equal to innocent whites and treatment of criminals, black and white, is reasonable and as safe as can be done.

The Impeachment of Donald Trump and the Truth About the Democrats

media.defense.gov

The Democrats, time and again, have accused President Trump, among other things, of dividing the nation, spreading hatred, and threatening the integrity of our democracy. These accusations are not at all surprising, although they are totally false, because they follow a predictable pattern among liberals. They accuse others of doing what they themselves are doing.

Take, for example, Russian collusion. Remember that? Turned out that zero collusion was found between Trump or his campaign and the Russians. Huh. Who knew? Wonder why we got that idea in the first place? OH! I remember! Hillary and the democrat party hired a British spy to obtain "dirt" on Trump, which he did, from the Russians! 

And dividing the nation? Who is throwing baseless accusations at the president, duly elected by the American people? Who is calling him Hitler and white supremacist and a traitor? Who is insinuating, on a regular basis, that Trump's supporters must be the same? Who constantly calls people racist, incites resentment among the less affluent for the wealthy, sends protesters to silence conservative speakers and run conservatives out of restaurants? Oh, surprise surprise, it's the Democrats! They are the ones who are dividing the nation, not Trump.

The current sham follows the same model. You have a vice-president who is the point man for two, and only two, countries. Damned if his son doesn't get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars from one of those countries for doing nothing! And, oh! A billion and a half from the other in exchange for doing..... oh, nothing! And Democrats have the gall to accuse Trump of corruption? It's so absurd it would be hysterically funny if it weren't so sickening, not to mention damaging to the country.

But Democrats truly do not care about damage to the country. That fact is glaringly obvious. They will do anything— that is, anything— to obtain and maintain power. Their hatred for this president is so psychotically extreme, they are perfectly willing to trash the constitution, trample on the democratic process, and smear half the country's voters to get their way. 

Their appalling behavior exposes their greed for power in no uncertain terms. It is both disgusting and dangerous, and people like Adam Schiff, making up a conversation that did not exist between Trump and the Ukrainian president and blurting it out on television in the hope that enough stupid people would see it and believe it is, sadly, typical of the lying that has become second nature to most of the liberal leadership.

And stupid people are those who fall for the Democrats' contrived scandals, such as the current so-called impeachment, which isn't, really, because Pelosi won't let her members vote on it in order to protect them from having to go on the record, for or against: pretty spineless, but again, not surprising. Oh, and holding a vote would enable Republicans to call witnesses to testify as well, and that can't happen, right?

Trump had every right to bring up the ongoing investigation into pre-election corruption involving Ukraine, since, after all, the Ukrainians have admitted that they did attempt to interfere, with the aim of promoting Hillary Clinton.

President Trump had every right to ask for cooperation in looking into what may have been criminal, or, at the very least, grossly improper, use of the vice-presidential office for self-enrichment. He did not ask them to "dig up dirt", another blatant lie. He asked about a very specific situation that is already known. Nothing needs to be "dug up"! (And anyone looking at the known facts of that case who doesn't agree that it's very fishy is either dumb or lying.)

So, Biden shouldn't be investigated because he is running for office? That makes him immune? Oh, right, I forgot, just as Hillary Clinton was immune to being charged with the offenses she absolutely committed with regard to the email debacle. I guess Democrats are not held accountable for their mis-deeds, but Republicans are held accountable for deeds they did not commit. Makes sense.

Every American who subscribes to the nonsense the Democrat leadership is perpetrating on our country is either complicit in the racket or not smart enough to be. It is simply a naked grab for power, an attempt to reverse an election because they didn't like it, and because they know that Trump is very likely to win again in 2020. Can't have that, can we? Let's make the American people believe that he's a criminal! It's not true, but they won't know that, right?

Unethical is too mild a term to describe this repugnant scam. Unpatriotic is not strong enough either, though it is both of those. No, the Democrats' behavior is descpicable, and they all should be ashamed of themselves. But, of course, they are not. They never are.

Hatred in America, 2019

It's amazing. It is utterly amazing. Over two years after Donald J. Trump was elected president of the United States, liberals are still acting like toddlers whose lollipop just got taken away from them. Why won't liberals just get over it?

photo: Lance Cheung/public domain

Honestly, if it weren't so damaging to the republic, it would be funny. Oh hell, it IS funny! It's like they're competing against one another for who can make the biggest fool out of themselves, and it is amusing to watch. 

"He's a racist!" "He's a Russian spy!!" "He's mentally unbalanced!" "He's unfit for the presidency!"

I'm waiting for "He's an alien, planted among us to destroy the universe!"

That's how silly they sound. And it is humorous. But it's also destructive to our country.

The hatred that liberals are displaying for our duly elected president is literally derailing our system of government. They are so hyper-focused on finding a way to bring him down, to un-do what the American people have, by fair and legal means, decided, that they are ignoring the real and serious problems that face this country. 

Much has been said in the past few years about the level of hatred that is swirling through American society since Trump was elected, and that seems to be accurate. However, it is not the fantasy of rampant racism and intolerance emanating from Trump and his supporters, it is the hatred of Trump himself and his followers by liberals that has sent the wheel of hatred spinning through our national discourse.

From conservatives being banned from social media, again and again, to attacks in restaurants and airports on conservatives, to chasing conservative speakers (literally) from college campuses, to punching people wearing MAGA hats.... yes, the hatred is there, and it's coming almost entirely from the left. (go ahead and cite the few incidents of violence perpetrated by conservatives and make a list, two columns... one will be hugely longer than the other, I promise)

The world stage is in a precarious position right now, with the middle East a veritable tinder box, India and Pakistan waving nukes at one another across the border, China rampantly stealing our technology (including military) and surreptitiously establishing land bases in international waters, North Korea building and testing nuclear missiles that can reach the U.S. and Russia hell bent on sowing discord among us to disrupt the smooth transition of power and unbalance our republic. And the liberals are worried about the last ten years of Donald Trump's tax returns.

Their visceral hatred for him not only blinds them to serious issues around the world, it warps their judgement at home as well. The liberals know very well that a wall at the southern border, in areas where such structures are appropriate, would drastically decrease the flow if illegal aliens, drugs, human trafficking and gang infiltration at our border. Of course they know that. But their hatred of Donald Trump himself has rendered them totally incapable of relying on reason to make decisions regarding our southern border. 

Liberals know that babies born alive cannot be murdered on the table. Of course they know that. But, as with the wall, they cannot allow Trump to have a "win" with his base. They must prevent him from any and every possible success, even when his achievements are helpful to the United States of America. Hatred for Trump comes first, last and only, well-being of the nation be damned.

photo: pixabay

That this puts liberals in with the same playground name-calling as a group of seven-year-olds goes without saying. But it really is surprising how few seem even capable of addressing national concerns at all, so great is their focus on destroying Trump. The nation's business is being largely ignored in this era of "let's get him!", much to the disgrace of the vast majority of those on the left. 

Let us hope that we do not suffer a major event, such as a large-scale terrorist attack, cyber attack or destruction of the grid while half the law-makers' focus is on bringing down a president. They will not be ready to deal with such a catastrophe, so great is their day-to-day compulsion to destroy the reviled commander-in-chief. Their childish, unmitigated hatred is destructive, precludes progress on real national issues, and is, frankly, dangerous. 

While it is tempting to shake our heads and chuckle at the absurd conniptions of the left, they need to be shown what fools they are making of themselves and wake up to the disservice they are doing to their country. They should know that they, not Donald J. Trump are, in 2019, the fountain of hatred and the country's great disgrace.

"To Be Believed": The Case Against Blasey Ford & the Democrats

(source: senate.gov)

First I would like to make clear that I am a person of empathy and compassion for women – and men – who are victims of sexual harassment, abuse and assault. These are serious, heinous crimes that have terrible, lasting effects on the survivors. In no way should they ever be excused, minimized or tolerated.

Because I feel for survivors, I tend to believe those who come forward with allegations of this nature. Most people who do so are courageous and resilient, and offer hope to those who have not yet spoken up about their own experience. However, it is also true that sex crimes have a higher rate of false reporting than has been claimed in recent weeks by those supporting Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations. The figure that has been cited is that only 2% of reports of sexual crimes are false. According to criminologist Brent E. Turvey that rate is actually closer to 40%. Even the Pentagon reports that approximately 25% of reported sexual crimes in the military are found to be unsubstantiated. (Rowan Scarborough/ Washington Times/7 Oct 2018) With this in mind, it makes sense to question reports of sexual assault and not to assume that all women are simply “to be believed”.

That caution is particularly valid when the purpose of the disclosure is to affect the political process. Ford said that she felt it was her “civic duty” to disclose her experience so that it could be considered in the process of vetting a Supreme Court nominee. That is, by definition, political motivation. Not to imply that that in itself means she is not telling the truth, just that it should be noted along with other factors when evaluating her claims.

So what are her claims? Well, she described the assault itself with pretty solid detail, to be sure. However, she did not recall when it took place, where it took place, how old she was, how she got to the party, how she got home, how many were at the party, who she talked to at the party or any more than the four named who were at the party (none of whom could corroborate her story). Those are not only major holes in her story, but also very convenient holes if your purpose is to falsely accuse someone of the offense. Sketchy, to say the least. There may never be a confirmed answer as to whether or not this assault ever happened. Therefore it is left to us, based on what we have seen and heard (or not), to decide for ourselves. I believe Ford was lying. Here is why:

At first Ford said she wasn’t sure of the year, let alone the month or day of the assault. She later settled on 1982, but still no month or day. It is sincerely doubtful that such a traumatic event could not even be placed in the right year by the victim. She was not claiming that she’d repressed the memory, when it might have made sense that the year and month could be in question, rather she said that she had remembered it all along and it had affected her life through the years. Even when she decided that it was 1982 she couldn’t name a month or day.

I find this to be quite convenient for Ford and her Democrat friends. After all, had she been able to name the day, or even the month, the Democrats could not have been sure that Kavanaugh may not have had an alibi for that time. Had she said it was July 17th, for example, he may have been able to prove that he was at his aunt’s funeral in Illinois on that day. If she’d said it was even in July, well he may have been at basketball camp that entire month. They didn’t know, so they couldn’t risk putting even a rough date on the accusation. It was necessary to leave it vague and un-provable. That way he had little chance of being able to provide any specific alibi.

Her assertions that she was afraid to fly were easily shown to be lies by the questioning attorney. When asked why she didn’t take the Judiciary Committee up on their offer to interview her at her home in CA, she had to pretend she hadn’t known about that offer. Really? It was all over the news for several days prior to the hearing. But she had to have some reason why she didn’t agree to those terms, which would have provided for a private interview, away from cameras and reporters, presumably what she would have preferred. The reason, of course, is because the Democrats didn’t want a private interview. They wanted the media circus that they orchestrated. A private interview at Ford’s home wouldn’t have accomplished the display that they needed to put on for public consumption.

But what about Ford’s demeanor during the hearing? Wasn’t she so very credible? Didn’t she seem sincerely traumatized and “terrified” to testify? Yes, she did seem so. I could have too. It’s not hard for someone with decent acting skills to appear to be sincere, traumatized and entirely truthful. Her convincing demeanor proves exactly nothing. (More than one person who has known Ford for years have said that they never heard her speak in the “little girl” voice that she used during her testimony.)

What about the polygraph test? And the therapist’s notes? In the first place, neither were provided to the Republicans for examination, even though they were cited as evidence. (Gregg Re, John Roberts/Fox News/10/04/18) Secondly, the reason polygraph tests are inadmissible in court is because they are not that difficult to “pass” fraudulently and are easily manipulated by the person administering the test. A former boyfriend reported that he had witnessed Ford coaching a friend on how to pass a polygraph test. (Gregg Re, John Roberts/Fox News/10/04/18) As for the therapist’s notes, I would have liked for the FBI to have been provided with the originals. It is possible to forensically date how long the ink has been on the paper. I wonder if it would have indicated several years ago, as reported, or perhaps closer to July of 2018. But these documents weren’t provided despite requests for them. No wonder.

This entire accusation was concocted by the Democrats. It was held back as a last resort, in case Kavanaugh could not be stopped by other means. When it looked like he had the votes to be confirmed, the fraud was set in motion.

How Ford was contacted will likely never be known, but it wouldn’t be hard to identify and approach a person sympathetic to the Democrats for the purpose of recruiting that person, particularly if there were financial incentive involved. (What is Ford’s ‘gofundme’ page up to now, half a million at last count?) That is not to mention the book deals and movie screenplays that will likely gain her many more millions in the future nor the feminist heroine stature that will follow her for the rest of her life in professional, social and political circles. She is a liar, but she’s not stupid. And, by the way, check out Palo Alto University, where she is a professor of psychology. It is an eye-opening example of an ultra-feminist institution which specializes in women’s trauma, combating male patriarchy and feminist political activism. See? Not that hard to find her.

How the Democrats could do something so incredibly devious, disgraceful and damaging is easily identified. POWER. That’s it.

The Democrats are terrified of a Supreme Court that has a majority of justices who actually do what they’re supposed to do: interpret the Constitution. They need justices who will base decisions on what they wish the Constitution said, shape law from whole cloth, read things into our most revered document that are not there, turn the intention of the founders on its head in order to achieve the social change they desire. They need these justices because it is the only way they can ram their extremist, socialist agenda down the throat of the American voter who will not support their ultra-liberal policies at the ballot box. The fact that Kavanaugh is far from the most conservative judge that could have been nominated and is, in fact, considered by constitutional scholars to be within the “mainstream” of judicial thought that the Democrats are always talking about illustrates their level of desperation. With Kavanaugh now on the Court, it is likely to remain a conservative majority for decades. The best avenue for Democrats to pursue their aims is now closed to them.

For this reason they have shamelessly perverted the process of selecting Supreme Court justices, destroyed an innocent man’s reputation, dragged his wife and two young girls through the mud, created and deepened division in the county, demeaned the Senate as a governing body, and turned their backs on any chance of conducting their responsibilities in a decent, civil manner with their colleagues on the other side. They have shown themselves to care much more about their own power over the lives of Americans than about the integrity and well-being of America herself.

That is completely unforgivable.

The Shame of the Democrats: More Disgraceful Than Any of the Accusations

(image: wikimedia.com)

Exactly as expected, the Democrats have trotted out yet another liar to smear the impeccable Judge Kavanaugh, nominee for Supreme Court justice. Of course they did. The initial vote on Kavanaugh was scheduled for Friday, after all. Apparently the first two accusers were not enough. So here comes number three, and there will most certainly be a number four and a number five and as many as can be digested and spewed out by the compliant media prior to the final vote.

This is not only outrageous behavior by a group of lawmakers who are supposed to embody some level of integrity and decency, it is a frightening statement of what the Democrat Party has become. Sadly, this is only the latest, though perhaps most egregious, example of the willingness of the Democrats to lie outright in order to derail a legitimate process set in motion by the voters of the United States.

Yes, lie. These are all lies, make no mistake about it. There is zero evidence for any of it, only the statements of these women who were likely recruited, carefully and indirectly, by democrat politicians. The only possibility that there is any shred of truth to it at all would be that possibly the first accuser has the wrong person in her memory of who assaulted her. The rest of it are bold faced lies, cut out of whole cloth.

Why would the Democrats do such a thing? Because they are terrified of losing the court for decades to come. The Supreme Court, of course, is the only means by which they can force their destructive, socialist, ultra-liberal agenda past the American voter and they know it. Without the help of activist justices on the Supreme Court, they will be utterly unable to abolish the second amendment, introduce open borders, prevent the rolling back of Roe v Wade and ultimately turn the entire country into the cesspool that cities like San Francisco and Chicago, under democrat leadership, have become.

That is the motivation, and smearing and destroying a decent person who they know to be completely innocent is the method. It is appalling behavior for anyone, but especially for so-called leaders who are supposed to be able to be held up as shining examples of dedicated Americans who serve their country and interact decently and fairly with political opponents. They are proving themselves to be anything but. This campaign of mud slinging is vicious, shameful and extremely destructive to the cherished processes and institutions that are held so dear in this country.

If this disgusting campaign of sleaze should succeed and Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination is defeated, then any other conservative person who attempts to rise to any position of authority in government can be destroyed by any outlandish, unsubstantiated accusation that may be thrown at them by the opposition. That cannot be allowed to occur in a country where justice is a most prized attribute.

The Democrats, both those who are actively putting forth these women and those who are remaining silent and allowing this disgrace to go forward, should be deeply and utterly ashamed.

Is President Trump A Racist?

(wikimedia commons)

No. He's not.

Oh, he is, you say? I'm wrong then? Okay, well show me how you know that he is racist. Give me examples of his behavior that illustrate racism.

Oh, wait - I think I know what you're going to say. He said that immigrants were rapists and drug dealers, right? And the immigrants he was referring to were Mexican, right, so he is racist, right?

According to reporter Ryan Gorman of The Daily Mail.com, about 60% of illegal female immigrants face some kind of sexual violence during their migration from their home countries to the United States. (The Daily Mail.com, 25 April 2014) Of course, Gorman includes the fact that these attacks "have even been at the hands of at least one U.S. Border Patrol agent". Trust me, if he could find more than the one case, he would have listed them.

No, the vast majority of these en-route sexual assaults are perpetrated by coyotes, the "guides" who are paid to get the migrants to the U.S., and by fellow migrants. These would be primarily Mexicans and Central Americans. The Huffington Post, hardly a bastion of conservative thought, puts the estimated number of victimes at 80% of girls and women crossing into the United States. (huffingtonpost.com, 12 Sept. 2014) So yes, many Mexicans bringing illegal immigrants to our borders as well as some of the immigrants themselves are rapists. No racism there!

And drug smugglers? The venerated New York Times reports that in 2016 "about two million pounds of illegal drugs were seized by Customs and Border Protection". (Drew Jordan and Mark Scheffler, nytimes.com, 25 July 2017) Because it has grown so rapidly and expanded so much in recent years, the illegal drug industry has actually become vital to the Mexican economy. Worth now over $50 billion per year, it is estimated that Mexico's economy would shrink by more than 60% were the drug traffickers to be put out of business. (drug trafficking statistics/drugabuse.net, 2017) So yes, there are a significant number of Mexicans coming to our borders who are smuggling drugs. No racism there either!

It is true that the way in which Donald Trump chose to describe many of the problems coming to the U.S. along with illegal immigrants from Mexico was not particularly well stated or well clarified at the time. But a clumsy delivery of fact does not amount to racism.

Well what about the "Muslim ban", you say? Trump is a racist because he doesn't want Muslims to come to our country, right? Again, Trump's statement that we need to stop Muslims from entering the U.S. until a proper vetting process could be developed and implemented was poorly worded. By saying "Muslims", he clearly meant individuals from primarily Muslim countries. If he meant to ban Muslims, he would not have listed only the countries that were in the initial temporary ban proposal. Certainly he would have included Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world. Wouldn't he?

As it was, the initial plan banned travel by individuals from countries which are either in such turmoil that accessing any reliable records for its citizens is impossible and/or those that have harbored terrorists or sponsored terrorism. That they were all countries with a majority Muslim population is true. But nearly all terrorism in recent years has been at the hands of Muslim extremists! It follows, then, that Trump's responsibility to protect U.S. citizens from future terrorist attacks was the focus of his temporary ban. So I guess that makes sense, correct? No racism there.

But oh, what about when he said that a Mexican-American judge couldn't be impartial because he was Mexican? Surely THAT proves him to be a racist, right? Sorry, wrong again. Donald never said that he was a poor judge simply because he was Mexican-American. What he implied was that because Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel was of Mexican heritage (his parents emigrated from Mexico in the 1920's), and that Trump was embroiled in controversy over his proposal to build a wall to block illegal immigration from Mexico, he could have a conflict of interest in dealing with the case against Trump University.

Whether Judge Curiel was conflicted or not, it was certainly not unreasonable to pose the question, was it? — especially given how front and center the issue of the wall was at that precise moment in the political discourse. Be honest now, if it were you who were to be judged by someone who may reasonably be supposed to have a conflict of interest, wouldn't you at least bring it up? So again, no racism.

Well, Donald Trump is a white supremacist, isn't he? Doesn't he support the views held by David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan? Nope. There are numerous tapes out there, from before his candidacy as well as during the campaign, where Trump denounces, in no uncertain terms, both David Duke and the Klan and, in fact, all white supremacist nonsense. 

But I guess that doesn't count, because he didn't immediately jump out after the Charlottesville riot and use the precise wording that his opponents wanted to hear to denounce the activity of racist groups at that event. 

That he was said to "walk back" his clarifying statement on the incident by reiterating that not everyone there was a bad person, ignores that he was referring to the presence of some of the protesters in Charlottesville that day, who were not white supremacists, but merely wanted to prevent the statue of Robert E. Lee from being removed, for historical purposes. He wasn't implying that the white nationalist element were the decent people. And he was correct that "both sides" had a part in the instigation of violence. Some Antifa members arrived at the protest with cement-filled cans, baseball bats and improvised flame-throwers, some even possessed semiautomatic weapons. (Chris Mondics/ The Inquirer Daily News 16 August 2017)

Once again, Trump is not skilled in the exacting communication of the polished politician. He has, perhaps, a flawed understanding of how vital each word chosen and voiced can be, especially under the hostile microscope of the American press. Donald Trump is a plain spoken, brash and bold New Yorker. He pretty much says what goes through his mind and is not good at filtering his thoughts so that the words that come out are the most likely to be understood as they are meant.

I would agree that this is not a commendable characteristic for a president. In fact, I wish he'd get coaching in this area, as these skills can be learned. Certainly, his rough-hewn speech is not helpful to himself as a newly minted politician. But neither does it reflect any kind of racism on his part.

In addition, not one person who has personally known Donald Trump over the years has ever accused him of any sort of racial slur or of behaving with any kind of racial animosity or bias towards anyone. Even Geraldo Rivera, a far leftie who has known Trump for decades, swears that all this talk of Trump holding racist views is totally and entirely false.

Not to mention that Trump was awarded, along with others such as Muhammed Ali and Rosa Parks, the Ellis Island Award in 1986 at the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty's dedication. Meant to honor leaders who "exemplify a life dedicated to community service", among other criteria, Trump had his photo taken at the ceremony with Ali and Parks. Hardly a plausible scenario for a racist, but this event is apparently forgotten.

Thirteen years later, Trump was highly lauded by none other than self-appointed black leader Jesse Jackson, in praise of a lifetime of helping the African American community with the Rainbow-PUSH coalition. Again, this has been conveniently swept under the proverbial rug.

We know that "racist" is the accusation hurled by the left at anyone who disagrees with their dogma (especially after attempts to prove "Russian collusion" fail). Because it is such a horrific charge, even the act of denying that one is a racist can permanently mar the reputation of that individual, a truth that liberals are acutely aware of and, in fact, count on. 

Not that words don't matter, since we have seen here that they clearly do, but what matters even more than words are actions and behavior, wouldn't you agree? Who then, are the true racists in America today? Why not take a moment to examine the state of our cities' black communities these days, as opposed to prior to the implementation of decades of liberal policy? 

Those cities which have been run almost exclusively by democrats for decades show a sharp decline in nearly every quality of life measure in their African-American populations. These include Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, Newark and, of course, Chicago, where 323 people died of gun violence in the first six months of 2017. (christianpost.com, 7 July 2017) A majority of those deaths were black young men.

You would think that liberals would be horrified at what their policies have resulted in, would be jumping up and down to make the changes necessary to turn these deplorable (yes, deplorable) trends around. But, despite their dismal failure at "helping" African-Americans in the cities that they run, liberals continue to call for the same policies to be continued and for more money to be poured into more of the same sorts of programs that have led, over and over again, to disastrous results and worsening conditions for their black communities. Then they hold out their hands for votes, in the belief that their African-American constituents will surely want more of their "help".

So who are the real racists in America today? I'll tell you one thing—

it ain't Donald Trump.
