Impeachment Trial Aftermath – Acquittal is Not Enough

With the Impeachment Trial acquittal of President Trump, the typical somewhat sane American is glad the Schiff Show is finally over, or at least this episode.  Further, it is gratifying that the acquittal was by a majority in spite of a certain RINO backstabber from Utah.  But, sadly, the impetus behind this travesty of an impeachment is not over and will not be over unless American voters make it end. 

To understand my unhappy viewpoint, we must back up and look at the bigger picture.  Democrats with a few RINO allies have been engaged in a coup against constitutional democracy since well before Trump’s inauguration.  To go through the entire coup would make this post almost as long as the Democrat Impeachment Managers’ 24 hour presentation.  But Jack Posobiec has a good summary of how the Russia hoax and the Mueller investigation part of the coup started.  And I have been following the coup since just after the election.

I noted efforts to pressure and subvert the Electoral College.

I noted the Obama Administration weaponizing the FBI, the CIA, and even the NSC against Trump and his election. 

The FBI even lied to FISA courts in order to spy on Trump. 

The coup against Trump has been going on long before Schiff and Co. used the plotting Fake Whistleblower to push the coup into impeachment.

Some Democrats have even sought to make it illegal to vote for Trump.  I am not exaggerating. Democrats in Washington State and New Jersey sought to block Trump from the 2020 ballot.   

I could go on and on, but the Democrat Party has never respected the election of Donald Trump in 2016, not even now after more than three years. Heck, with the partial exception of 2004, they haven’t respected a Republican Presidential victory since 1988.  And their modus operandi when they can’t get what they want through democratic Constitutional avenues has long been to go to Hacks in Black they’ve appointed as federal judges.  Now an additional method is a perpetual coup seeking gridlock, then impeachment.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually tearing up her copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address is only the cherry on the top of Democrat utter disrespect of us electing Donald Trump.

Did I mention I could go on?

In short, the Democratic Party has become an UN-democratic party that only respects elections when they win. 

It is hard to think of anything more dangerous to a Constitutional democracy than to have a major party that utterly disrespects Constitutional democracy.

History tells us that when such parties do win, there is no guarantee of another free, fair, and meaningful election in the lifetime of those foolish enough to elect them.  Democrats have already been brazen in their attempts to rig elections in any number of ways, including destroying election security and using the powers of the FBI and the IRS.  What would they now do to our elections should they gain power?  Make “racist” incorrect votes illegal? They have already shown a willingness to cancel out the votes of American citizens with the votes of illegals and of dead people.  

And even after Trump’s two appointments, the Supreme Court is only one or two appointments away from tearing up the Constitution at the behest of the Democrat Party.  To assume our Constitutional republic can survive another Democrat President is assuming something indeed.

Seeing that we cannot outlaw the Democrat Party as Germany outlawed the Nazi Party, there is only one way to deal with such a party. Americans must rise up and defeat the Democrat Party again and again and again until they either go the way of the Whigs or until they reform themselves and expel the quasi-totalitarians who refuse to respect our Constitutional democracy.

Yes, that may be wishful thinking on my part.  But we are too close to the point where we have no alternative.  We must never allow these anti-democratic DemocRATS to gain power in this country if we wish to remain a free, democratic, and Constitutional republic.

And even if I am overwrought and we can somehow survive Democrat victory, do we really want to reward them with our votes when they have so disrespected our votes again and again?  If you want more disrespect for constitutional democracy, then rewarding them is the surest way to get it.

Far more than policy differences are at stake.  Hey, believe it or not, I have frequently voted for Democrats and respect many of the Democrats of the past.  I still have policy differences with almost all of them, but many of them loved America and our Constitutional democracy. Today’s Democrats are a different breed altogether and one that smells of a totalitarianism that refuses to respect the Constitutional rights of political opponents.  Thanks to them, the integrity of our Constitutional democracy is indeed at stake this November.

We must punish this perpetual coup against Trump and, more importantly, against our constitutional democracy.  If we cherish our freedoms and our right to govern ourselves, we have no choice.

The Democrat Party MUST be punished in November and in Novembers to come.

Democrats Schiffing to Disaster?

As if Democrats are not courting disaster enough with their transparently partisan and flimsy impeachment as part of their perpetual coup, Speaker Pelosi has appointed Adam Schiff to be the lead Manager for the Senate impeachment trial.

I could not think of a worse appointment . . . from the Democrats’ point of view.  His lying, leaking, and bad faith, not to mention his general smarminess, will become exposed in a fair trial.  The average American will see right through him.

It will be Psalm 7:15 in action.

I will surely say more.

Here We Go Again...

One would think Leftists would learn that one way to lose the next election is to disrespect voters in the last election.  Disrespect for the 2016 Brexit Referendum certainly hurt both Labour and the LibDems in last week’s UK General Election.  One would think that would be a learning experience.

One would think.

But no.  The day after the election, Leftists took to UK streets to protest . . . what? Voters? Free elections? Those sort of anti-democratic temper tantrums might have sold in the Weimar Republic, but last I looked, most British prefer democracy with their Queen, thank you.

Oh, and here’s where Leftist whining gets beyond satire. The founders of Fusion GPS, purveyors of lies used in the perpetual coup against Trump, these scumbags are blaming . . . Russia.  No I am not kidding:

The founders of Fusion GPS, the Democrat-backed consulting firm behind the famously discredited Christopher Steele dossier at the heart of the Russia hoax, are blaming Russia for the liberal Labour Party’s loss in the U.K. elections Thursday. Seriously….

“Britain needs its own Mueller report on Russian ‘interference,’” [Guardian] editors titled the article.

“The British political system has become thoroughly compromised by Russian influence,” Simpson and Fritsch declared. “In 2016, both the United Kingdom and the United States were the targets of Russian efforts to swing their votes.

But us in The Colonies had better not laugh too hard.  For Democrats and Leftists (But I repeat myself.) are already making it known ahead of time that they have no intention of respecting the 2020 elections should Trump get re-elected.  California Democrat Rep. Karen Bass, for one, says they just might impeach Trump yet again after 2020.  And Democrat House Judiciary Chairman Nadler is openly saying the 2020 election will be rigged if Trump is not impeached and removed.

Yes, Americans might collude by voting to re-elect Trump. How dare they!

All this may amuse, but it should also disturb as well.  For a major party again and again so to disrespect elections they don’t win is dangerous to a country.  And that is the situation in the US and UK today.

This Leftist impulse against democracy and against the rights of political opponents makes me fear what will happen if and when Democrats or Labour do win.  We must not let that happen at least until they transform themselves into parties that actually respect constitutional democracy even when they don’t win.

Schiff Prohibits Witnesses Requested by Republicans

If there is any remaining doubt that the present impeachment inquiry is more an attempted coup than a lawful proceeding, it should be dispelled by Democrat Adam Schiff’s refusal to allow key witnesses requested by Republicans.   (I’ve read that he has denied all Republican witness requests, but I cannot verify that yet.)

Most telling is that he will not even allow Republicans to call the Fake Whistleblower to testify.  “The Whistleblower” is how the latest phase of the perpetual coup began – in public at least.  But Schiff will not allow Republicans to call even him as a witness.

I am at the point where I think someone has not to be paying attention to miss that this impeachment inquiry is part of the perpetual coup against Trump that began on Election night 2016 and even before. Democrats like Schiff have never respected that election, and they are not respecting basic principles of law and fair play in still  trying to overturn it.

But with hope I agree with the always colorful Senator John Kennedy (R-La): “The American people are going look at this and go, 'I get it. They're going to give the president a fair and impartial firing squad.'"

But how many are so un-American as to be fine with this unending attempted coup?

---- 

BONUS USELESS PREDICTION:
So far every time accusations against Trump have been aired in public, they have been a bust.  See the Mueller Report, Mueller’s testimony, backstabbing lawyer Cohen, the creepy porn lawyer and Stormy Daniels, and . . . I can hardly remember them all anymore.

When the impeachment inquiry goes public beginning tomorrow, it will be a bust as well and may backfire on the Democrats.  We shall see.

Now we know who is the “Whistleblower” and why Democrats covered him up.

NOTE: Now the Whistleblowing Creep is using his lawyers to intimidate those who expose him and his partisan participation in the Coup against Trump and democracy. I don't want to deal with lawyers, so I've edited this post slightly.

---

For weeks, a deep oh-so-important secret of the Democrats has been the identity of the “Whistleblower” against Trump. It’s for his protection don’tcha know.

Well, it is coming out that the secrecy was for the protection of the Democrats and their attempted coup. The “Whistleblower” by credible reports is [He Who Must Not Be Named].  And he is much more a back-stabbing, leaking, DemocRAT, Trump-hating little mole than a whistleblower:

Federal documents reveal that the 33-year-old [He Who Must Not Be Named]  a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia “collusion” investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.

Further, [He Who Must Not Be Named] left his National Security Council posting in the White House’s West Wing in mid-2017 amid concerns about negative leaks to the media. He has since returned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

“He was accused of working against Trump and leaking against Trump,” said a former NSC official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

And on the basis of this sleezy Obama boy’s hit job, House Democrats have been running a kangaroo court “impeachment inquiry.” No wonder Democrats have been hiding [He Who Must Not Be Named].

Coup Update

Legal Insurrection has an excellent summary and update of the Democrat/Deep State Coup:

Using foreign-supplied fake intelligence, from a British spy who utilized Russian sources, to obtain surveillance of the Trump campaign and transition team didn’t work.

Intimidating Electoral College Electors to change their votes after the election didn’t work.

Having the Director of the FBI lie to, set up and try to entrap the president didn’t work.

Having that same FBI Director leak memos to the media to manufacture grounds for a Special Counsel didn’t work.

Trying to invoke the 25th Amendment to declare the president unable to perform the job didn’t work.

Two years of the Mueller Investigation didn’t work.

Three years of a permanent crisis news cycle meant to paralyze the administration didn’t work.

After all these failures to unwind the 2016 election, Democrats and the mainstream media are trying a new tactic: Create a Star Chamber “impeachment” process fueled by anonymous whistleblowers and selective leaks that is not so much designed to remove the president, though they would if they could, but to manipulate the 2020 election.

Yep. But there is more.  Do read the whole update.

I do want to note something else the article points out – that Democrats are less concerned about getting to the truth than they are about shutting out Republicans. That’s why the impeachment effort remains unofficial, and that’s why the latest accusers are working under the cloak of whistleblower rules.  House Republicans pretty much cannot cross-examine or do their own investigation.  It’s not fair play at all.

Ha! Fair play from Democrats and the Deep State.  Silly me.

Speaking of whistleblowers, last week I predicted more whistleblowers.  Right again.

The Big Picture

Hillary calling Trump’s election “illegitimate” and yesterday’s post about Deep State bureaucrats changing whistleblowing rules to enable hearsay whistleblowing against Trump prompt me to present the big picture of what is going on in American politics today.

That big picture was presented quite well by my alter ego and Daniel Greenfield in the first months of Trump’s presidency.  In short, the Left and the Democrat Party only accept election results when they win. You have to go back to 1988 to find a Republican presidential election victory that Democrats did not dispute.  And back then there were still some sane people in the Democrat Party or at least more than there are now.

And with the 2016 election of Trump, the first President since Reagan to actively oppose instead of enable Democrat designs on America, Democrats have doubled down on not accepting the result and, with the support of the Deep State, have been engaged in a continual coup against that election since before Trump’s inauguration.

If you want to get the really big picture, this is part of Leftist Democrats only accepting the Constitution and the Rule of Law when it serves their ends.

Obviously when a major political party does not accept elections, the Rule of Law, and the Constitution except when they serve the power of said party, you have a unhealthy situation.  After all, we have those institutions so we can peacefully rule ourselves.  We Americans prefer peacefully ruling ourselves to civil wars and dictatorships, thank you.

But instead of a political playing field we once all agreed on, we have the following choice thanks to today’s Democrat Party:

We can have a system of government based around the Constitution with democratically elected representatives. Or we can have one based on the ideological principles of the left in which all laws and processes, including elections and the Constitution, are fig leaves for enforcing social justice.

But we cannot have both.

Thus our country and our constitutional democracy itself are at stake.

I could say more, but that is the big picture.

Have a nice day.

Your votes are respected only if you vote correctly. Just letting you know.

If you want a good summary of how democracy is disrespected by statists and globalists in the EU, the UK, and the US for that matter, this is a must read.

In short, your votes are respected only when you vote correctly. If you do something horrid like elect Donald Trump or vote for Brexit, then your vote must be nullified. And that is exactly what the establishment in the UK and the US has been trying to do for years.

And the Democrat, RINO, Remainer hacks claim to nullify your votes in the name of democracy, of course.

To understate the obvious, this is an unhealthy situation.  Americans and British are patient and tolerant peoples. But how long can and should we tolerate our votes being nullified by the establishment?

IMPORTANT NOTE: As I posted earlier this week, violence is not the answer even though the predations of Leftists and the establishment are certainly asking for it.

Kavanaugh Accusations Say More About “News” Media & Democrats Than About Kavanaugh

I’ve discovered two handy rules for understanding current events:

1. If a “news” story smearing Trump or anyone supporting him or associated with him comes out, wait 36 hours before evaluating how true it is.

I’ve lost track of how many times such stories proved to be bunk.

2. Democrats lie.

Follow those two rules and you will be ahead of most people in understanding what’s going on.

Oh I should add one:

3. The “Mainstream” News Media lies.

Well . . . that is really a repeat of rule 2 actually.

Which brings me to the latest sordid accusations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.  If you waited 36 hours after the story broke, you found out the supposed victim cannot recall the incident.  And you found out the source of the story, Max Stier, is a Clinton hack who was a lawyer for Bill.  These very pertinent facts were not mentioned in the original New York Times story.  Once again, the New York Times proves to be a Fake News smear sheet.

But that has not stopped Democrat candidates for President from calling for Kavanaugh’s impeachment.  These include: Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Julian Castro, Pete Buttigieg, and of course, Beto.

Indict, convict, and sentence first and at once; evidence later.  It’s the totalitarian way.

Speaking of totalitarians, I’m old enough to remember Pravda, the state newspaper of the old Soviet Union.  They used to be a joke for being a slavish party mouthpiece.  But I am beginning to think Pravda was more professional than today’s New York Times and the rest of the Fake News media.

Yes, I am ranting a bit. These repeated smears against Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas anger me.

By the way, if you want to follow a real journalist who debunks any number of Democrat lies, follow Molly Hemingway.  She has become a national treasure.  You may find two of her stories on this matter here and here.

But as I was saying, this episode demonstrates that Democrats and their “News” Media are not to be trusted, with the truth, with fair play or with just about anything…. 

Oh, well . . . you can trust them to lie.

Democrats Go Deeper into Anti-Semitism

One would think it would be a no-brainer that a country has the right to bar from entry those who are publicly bigoted against its people and who are allied with those who oppose its very existence.  But if one’s brain is infected by anti-semitism, then apparently Israel has no right to bar from entry virulent anti-semites Ilhan Omar and Rachida Tlaib. (Israel did actually allow Tlaib entry to visit her grandmother, but she then refused the offer in what appears to be a set up designed to make Israel look bad.)

But for the rational, it is indeed a no-brainer that Israel is well within its rights to bar and defend itself from anti-semites like Omar and Tlaib. 

Now, of course, Omar and Tlaib are playing the victim – and lying to do so.  What astounds is that House Democrat leaders are backing them up and attacking Israel over this. Even relatively moderate Steny Hoyer has said Israel’s decision is “deeply disappointing,” “disrespectful,” and “unacceptable.”  And key House committee leaders are aiming to make life difficult for U. S. Ambassador to Israel and for Israel’s Ambassador to the U. S.

This anti-semitic double standard from Democrats is appalling. Heck, the U. K. has barred entry to people with less grounds.  Does only Israel not have the right to bar those hostile to its people, values, and even existence?

Early this year, I warned against the rise of anti-semitism in the West, here and while leading worship at my church.  That I was right to do so is sadly becoming more and more evident.

Trump is Right – The Squad and Their Ilk Should Go

Although President Trump’s tweets are not all wisely worded (And maybe this post isn’t either, but I’ve had enough.), he is right to say that those who hate America and push Anti-American values have no place in Congress and would do well to consider getting out of the country. “America – love it or leave it” is not racist but is instead anger at those who take advantage of our freedoms to attack our freedoms.  This is anger I share regardless of the skin color of those who so attack us and our freedoms.

The Gang of Four, recently dubbed “The Squad,” are among these.  Take Rep. Ayanna Pressley . . . please.  She is the racist, having recently said in a prominent speech at Netroots Nation:

Because if you're going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office. If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don't want to be a black voice. We don't need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don't want to be a queer voice. 

So if you are in these demographics you must toe the Leftist line, or you’re not a good Black, or a good Hispanic, etc. THAT is racism and bigotry.

And then yesterday she pointedly refused to call Trump the President, instead calling him “the occupant of the White House.”  She thereby disrespects our elections and the Americans who elected Trump.  THAT is not just un-American, but anti-American.

(Have I mentioned Leftists only respect elections they win? Yes I have.)

Or take Rep. Ilhan Omar – heck, deport her as there is good reason to suspect she became became a citizen via a fake marriage, but anyway….  Yesterday, she not only repeated the lie that illegals under detention drink out of toilets, she not only repeated the lie that Trump colluded with foreign governments to rig the election among other lies, she refused to denounce Al-Qaeda.  That after earlier refusing to decry the terrorist Antifa attack on an ICE facility. Crap, that anti-semite refuses even to denounce murderous terrorism, and she and her backers bitch about Trump’s tweets??

If you give such noxious views and statements a pass because you agree with them, feel free to give that a good rethink or to get the heck of America.  You ARE un-American.  And there is a lot of the rest of the world to choose from.  If you give such noxious views and statements a pass because they come from “women of color,” YOU are racist, period.

Trump is right.  Those who hold the views of The Democrat Squad should consider improving America . . . by getting out.

Yes.  I said it.

Democrat POTUS Candidates Wear “Ethically Bankrupt” T-Shirts

Well, not exactly.  But the t-shirts they wore the other day sure sent that message.

Allow me to explain.  Over the weekend, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) held his “World Famous Fish Fry,” and Democrat candidates for President came like sea gulls to a sea food dumpster.  They proudly wore “Clyburn” t-shirts, too.

The problem, ignored by the Democrat “News” Media but one I’ve noted before, is that Jim Clyburn has shared a stage with the notorious racist anti-semite Louis Farrakhan and has since refused to denounce him.

Let’s flip that.  If a Republican Congressman had shared a stage with white supremacist anti-semite David Duke and then refused to denounce him, do you think Republican candidates for President would come flocking to his fish fry?  No, Republicans would instead be getting in line to denounce him and to disassociate themselves from him.  And candidates would be recruited to primary him, too.

But not so with Democrats and Jim Clyburn. Heck, he remains the number 3 in the Democrat House leadership.

And the Democrat POTUS candidates come flocking to eat his fish and wear his t-shirts.

Face it. Democrats and their double standards are ethically bankrupt.

Democrats are SHOCKED, SHOCKED That the FBI Spied on Trump Campaign

Or to be more exact than the headline, Democrats are shocked, shocked that Attorney General Barr actually had the candor to say “Yes, I think spying did occur” by the FBI against the Trump campaign in 2016:

“I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Barr said during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing Wednesday when asked by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) why he was investigating the FBI’s counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign.

Incredulous, Shaheen asked Barr a follow-up question: “You’re not suggesting though that spying occurred?” she pressed.

“I think spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur," Barr replied matter-of-factly.

Now back in May of last year I told you the FBI spied on the Trump campaign.  But what do I know. I’m just a humble almost unknown blogger with tendencies toward sanity, common sense and other annoying traits.

The faux outrage from Democrats at Barr’s candor is amusing. So do go amuse yourself. But remember . . . 

I told you so.

MORE: Mark Levin, as he can, got a bit worked up over this matter at the beginning of his show last night.

About the Joe Biden Accusations

No, I am not going to rehash the sexual harassment accusations against Joe Biden.  I try to be value-added here.  So, instead, I will point out some angles on this matter that most are missing and from which we can all learn.

First, and this may surprise those who know my aversion for Democrats, I will not rush to judgement nor should others.  Yes, from all the photos and videos of “Gropin’ Joe” it is clear that his conduct has been at best unwise.  But we need to remember that he is, well, old and comes from a time when what was acceptable or just not a big deal then is no longer acceptable and is a big deal now.  Sometimes the older inadvertently violates the rules and boundaries of the younger.  It happens to just about any guy who lives a few years and likes people. 

By the way, when I was young in the 70’s and 80’s and we ran around wearing not much, it never occurred to me that the culture would become more puritanical.  But in a number of ways it has.  Some older men don’t adjust their boundary alarms to the times as well as others.  And, with Biden being a Senator since the 70’s and becoming more powerful since, how many would have the courage to warn him about boundaries?

Second, although I am not rushing to judgement, I have close to zero sympathy for Biden.  It may sound like I am contradicting myself after what I wrote above. But I remember that last week he smeared Clarence Thomas all over again.  I don’t think that prompted the current accusations.  But God is just.  What goes around comes around.  And now Biden is getting a taste of his own medicine. 

Nonetheless, Joe Biden should be treated more fairly than he treated Clarence Thomas.

Finally, I suspect this is yet another case of accusations as a weapon of the Left.  Some Democrats are gleeful when the target is an evil Republican like Kavanaugh or Trump.  But now the target is the frontrunner for the Democrat nomination.  Leftists want the nomination, and if an old and old school liberal like Biden is in the way…

Totalitarians do not stop with eliminating open opponents. They also proceed to eliminate one time allies of convenience when they are no longer useful. Biden was a good and loyal stooge to Obama. But now he is competition to the hard Left.  So he is to be eliminated. That’s what happens when “useful idiots” are no longer useful.

So this story is far more than an alleged harasser getting exposed if it is even that.  Us no longer young guys should take note.  Those who engage in smears should take note.  And those who find Leftists convenient allies should especially take note.

About Justice and Jussie Smollett

How much can be said about Jussie Smollett getting off easy for his fake hate!  Something that hasn’t gotten much notice yet is that we can thank George Soros for this travesty:

Illinois Sunshine, which watches political donations to key races, shows more than $300,000 donations from Soros to Kim Foxx's "Illinois Safety & Justice PAC" which Foxx used to finance her defeat of Alvarez in 2016. Soros also contributed $75,000 to Foxx's PAC after the campaign had concluded, seeding her with money for her re-election.

I could rant about Soros and those he funds – trust me I could! – but I will instead focus on a few implications for justice of charges being dropped against Smollett:

1. This feeds and confirms the perception that we now have a two-tier justice system, one for elite Democrats and favored groups, another for the rest of us.

By the way, another case yesterday also confirms that.  The 9^thCircuit Court of Appeals dismissed or, to be exact, will not allow Kate Steinle’s family to sue the City of San Francisco for being a sanctuary to killer illegal Garcia Zarate.  Zarate, you may remember, was not reported to ICE although he had a long rap sheet.  He then killed Steinle, but was acquitted. Apparently, illegals and those who enable even criminal illegals have far more rights under current two-tiered justice than American citizens.

2. The Smollett case is yet another strike against the myth of White Privilege.  Really, God help the next person who throws “White Privilege” at me.

If a straight White guy wearing a MAGA hat had staged an supposed attack by a gang of Black Antifa men against him and was exposed for staging fake hate, do you think he would get charges dropped for $10,000 and “community service” at conservative groups?  The question answers itself.

There is some privilege going on here: Democrat Privilege and Hollywood Privilege. But I repeat myself.

3. This continues the pattern of Fake Hate going virtually unpunished.  And fake hate is a serious crime that harms society. It can result in real hate and riots.  The Ferguson riots were largely a result of the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” lie.  Fake hate feeds hate and grievances.  As well as framing the innocent as hateful predators, it does a grave disservice to those who are victims of actual hate. 

To be honest, after years of fake hate, I’m at the point where I am quick to disbelieve allegations of hate.  So many times such allegations have been lies.  I’m not saying I should be that way, but when people cry wolf again and again, it makes one skeptical even though there are real wolves out there.

4. But, other than basic decency and self-respect, why should someone thinking of committing fake hate refrain when punishment for it is so light and rare (ifone is of a favored “victim” group, of course)?

More could be said, but I will stop there.  The problems surrounding division and justice in this country are far bigger than the Jussie Smollett case.  But it sure does feed them.

Democrats Want a One-Party State

With the exception of the Presidency and the almost perpetual exception of the Deep State bureaucracy, Democrats have not had federal and state government under their thumbs since 2010.  Americans made sure of that by inflicting massive losses on Democrats in the 2010 and 2014 elections. And, by the way, a big reason we got Trump is because not only Democrats but also establishment Republicans refused to get the clear message of those two elections.  So in 2016, we did get Trump.

Democrats don’t like that.

So are they going to be like Bill Clinton after the 1994 election and reinvent themselves as more mainstream?  Are you kidding?  We are talking today’s Democrats, you know.

No, what they trying to do instead is rig the political playing field like the good totalitarians they are.  They want felons voting.  They want illegals voting (as they already can in a few cities).  They want any number of measures that enable Democrat vote fraud, such as easy absentee ballots, same day registration, and outlawing voter ID.  They want 16-year-olds voting.  Gotta take advantage of public school propagandizing after all.

Oh, and we can’t allow those bumpkins in Middle America to have a voice.  So they want to abolish or at least render meaningless the Electoral College and give that much more meaning to block voting and election fraud in Chicago, Philadelphia, Dade County, King County (Seattle), L. A. etc.

Heck they are trying to rig the playing field in so many ways, I can hardly keep track of it all.

But what if somehow Democrats fail to get their one-party state?  Well, they have a plan for that, too – stack the Supreme Court so it will strike down just about anything Republicans manage to do and pretty much abolish that annoying Constitution.  So even if there isn’t a permanent one-party state, we will have a permanent Democrat Dictatorship of Black Robes.

And if you don’t like that, SHUT UP OR ELSE. Do you really think we would have free speech anymore? 

Again, if we care about constitutional democracy, we must defeat the so-called Democrats, and do so again and again.  (And I say that as someone who has voted for some Democrats in the past. Never again.) 

Democrats Want Votes for Trump Outlawed

No, I am not kidding.  And this is not satire.  I’ve pointed out that Democrats only seem to respect democracy and elections when they win.  Now some are taking it a step further.

Democrats in New Jersey and Washington State are seeking to ban Donald Trump from the 2020 ballot in those states under the pretense of allowing only those who release income tax returns on the ballot. Well, that is between Trump and the voters.  If a voter is that provoked by a candidate not releasing their income tax returns, they can vote for another candidate.

But the reality is these are brazen attempts to keep Trump off these states’ ballots.  That is how totalitarians act.  Under totalitarians, you may be allowed to vote, but you better vote “correctly” and may not be allowed to vote “incorrectly” at all.  

I was going to use the old Soviet Union as an example.  But then I came across this tidbit: 

Voting was theoretically secret and direct with universal suffrage.^[1] However, in practice, until 1989 voters could vote against the Communist Party of the Soviet Union candidate, but could only do so by using polling booths, whereas votes for the party could be cast simply by submitting a blank ballot.

Now that’s clever! A “secret” ballot . . . in which you are free to let the authorities know you are voting incorrectly by walking into a special booth.  But in a way, New Jersey and Washington Democrats are even worse – they are attempting to take away the option of voting incorrectly altogether.

Totalitarianism is alive and well in Washington State and New Jersey.

If we want to keep constitutional democracy, we had better use it to defeat so-called Democrats and good.

Democrats’ Planned Resolution Against Antisemitism is a Sham.

When Speaker Nancy Pelosi put Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar on the Foreign Relations Committee, it was already well known and documented that the Congresswoman from Mogadishu was an antisemite in line with her Islamist tendencies.  With that committee being so important and privy to classified information, putting Omar on it was reckless and dangerous at the very least.

So – surprise! or not – Omar has doubled down on her antisemitism.  So to cover their rears, the Democrat House leadership is preparing a resolution condemning antisemitism.  But unless Omar is removed from the Foreign Relations Committee, and there is little indication she will be, the resolution is a sham.  Not to mention that it might not even mention Omar by name.

House Democrat leaders don’t care about the antisemitism in their midst.  Otherwise Omar would not be on the Foreign Relations Committee in the first place.  They are just trying to appease both their Jewish and Muslim supporters along with Leftists, who are chock full of antisemites.  The Left would not take effective real action against Omar well.

I hope Jewish Americans along with all decent Americans won’t let them get away with this sham.

The Party of Infanticide - Senate Democrats Make It Official

After yesterday’s vote in the Senate, there is no getting around it – the Democrat Party is now the Party of Infanticide, among other things. All but three Democrats voted against the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act, which would have required medical treatment of babies that survive late-term abortions.  No Republican voted against it although three Republicans did not vote.  Here is the roll call.

Oh, and all the Democrat Senators who are declared candidates for President voted against it, everyone of them: Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Amy Klobuchar.

On a slightly happier note, more are noticing the push towards infanticide and are turning against it and against abortion:

According to a new poll from Marist, Americans' attitudes on abortion have dramatically shifted over the last month. Americans are now as likely to identify as pro-life (47 percent) as they are pro-choice (47 percent). A similar survey taken by Marist just last month found Americans were more likely to identify as pro-choice than as pro-life by a 17-point difference.

It is distressing that this country – or at least blue states – has gotten to this point.  But maybe such open displays of blatant, bloody evil are necessary to open people’s eyes.

Democrat McAuliffe Rigged the 2017 Election to Elect Northam and Fairfax

With the scandal surrounding Virginia Democrats, particularly Gov. Ralph “Coonman” Northam and Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, it is being overlooked that the previous governor, the corrupt Democrat hack Terry McAuliffe, went to great lengths to rig the 2016 election for Hillary and the 2017 election for Northam and Fairfax.

In 2017, McAuliffe vetoed HB 1581, a bill that would have required voter registrars to check incoming voter applications against state and federal databases to better weed out ineligible voters. He also vetoed several other election-security bills. And let’s not forget that, in 2016, he used his pardon power to restore the voting rights of 60,000 felons who were ineligible to vote under Virginia law.

Now the margins in the 2017 election were such that they probably surpassed the felon vote and the fraudulent vote.  Still there is no question that McAuliffe’s rigging the election process helped.

But now he virtue signals by calling for Northam and Fairfax to resign.  Well, that is so helpful after Democrook McAuliffe helped elect those two with felons and fraud.
