Trump Signs EO Against Campus Anti-Semitism

I’m in a slight rush this morning.  But something overlooked last week amidst the UK election and US shampeachment news is that President Trump signed an executive order directing and empowering the Department of Education to go after anti-semitism on college campuses.

I was very glad to see this.  It is much needed.  Two examples:

Harassment of Jewish and pro-Israel students has been going on for a long time. At Temple University in August 2014, SJP members called Daniel Vessal, a Camera on Campus fellow and a member of the Jewish fraternity AEPi, “kike” and “baby killer,” and punched him in the face. Vessal explained that he tried to engage SJP members in dialogue, but “people at the table were calling me a ‘baby killer’…And then this kid just rocks me in the face as hard as he can. My glasses flew off. After a two-second blur I had no clue what had happened. I couldn’t believe the kid actually hit me. When the police came over and were filing the report the kids at the table were screaming ‘You Zionist pig, you racist, that’s what you get.’” Police did not arrest the attacker.

In May 2016, Eliana Kopley, a sophomore at the University of California at Irvine (UCI), was trying to enter a screening of an Israeli documentary about the IDF called “Beneath the Helmet” when she was accosted by an angry mob screaming “Long live the Intifada!” and “F**k Israel!” The protesters prevented her from entering the building where the film was being shown and even chased her into a nearby building, where they pounded on the doors and windows while continuing to scream their slogans. Police ultimately escorted Kopley into the screening. The UCI chapter of the SJP was thrilled with this thuggery and praised the mob.

It will take more than an EO to bring justice, free speech, and sanity even back to U. S. campuses.  But Trump’s EO is an appreciated step in the right direction.

Boris Wins Big. Will History Echo?

I begin writing Thursday night under the influence of a bit of beer and a lot of schadenfreudein celebration of Labour and the LibDems getting their just desserts.  But I retain enough wisdom to review and rewrite this morning.  Still, I cannot resist wondering if history is, if not repeating, at least echoing.

No, it’s not just booze that has me pondering this.  I am barely old enough to remember Margaret Thatcher’s groundbreaking victory in 1979.  Labour had power for much of the 70’s thanks to the foolish and dishonest Edward Heath.  But Labour blew their chance with obnoxious Leftist policies that ground the UK economy into the ground.

Thatcher’s victory turned out to be a precursor for the election of Ronald Reagan the following year.  The Democrats had power since 1974 thanks to the foolish and dishonest Richard Nixon.  But the Democrats blew their chance with obnoxious Leftist policies that ground the US economy into the ground.  Reagan won in a landslide, and Republicans took the Senate.

Fast forward, in June 2016,British were fed up with the establishment of both major parties who did not listen to them but who were instead beholden to EU Brussels bureaucrats.  So in a shocking upset they voted for Brexit; they voted to leave the EU. 

In 2016, Americans were fed up with the establishment of both major parties who did not listen to them but who were instead beholden to the Washington establishment. So, after dispatching Jeb! and Co. mercilessly in the Republican primaries, they in a shocking upset elected Donald Trump as President of the United States.

In the years since, neither the Left nor the establishment of the UK and US have respected those 2016 votes and have worked tirelessly to undermine them.

So we get last night.  Yes, there are significant differences from Thatcher’s election and even Brexit, but Labour did have some power before the election thank to the weak and duplicitous Teresa May.  But they blew their chance with obnoxious Leftist policies with a strong dose of anti-semitism and, probably most importantly, by disrespecting the 2016 Brexit referendum result.  And the LibDems were even more all in on undoing Brexit.

And you know the result last night (with one seat undeclared): Labour loses 42 seats; the LibDems lose almost half their seats; Boris Johnson and the Tories gain 66 seats, a strong majority, and, barring any egregious foolishness, he will be PM for at least five years.  Contempt for Brexit and for democracy were thoroughly punished.

Here in the U. S. the Democrats have some power, holding the House, most cities, several states, the “news” media, and most cultural institutions.  But they are blowing their chance with obnoxious Leftist policies with a strong dose of anti-semitism and, probably most importantly, by still disrespecting the 2016 election of Trump, even to the point of the current absurd impeachment effort.

And . . . you can probably guess what I am hoping and praying for next year – the Democrats being thoroughly punished for their contempt for democracy.  Last night in the UK may yet again be a precursor for the US.  I am not quite yet to the point of expecting that.  But I did not entirely expect the 1980 Reagan landslide or Trump either.

So history may yet again echo.  We shall see.

Has the Deep State Coup Turned to “Whistleblowers”?

I posted yesterday about whistleblowing rules being changed to enable hearsay “whistleblowing.”  That story has now blown up as it should.  (Here is one good update.)  It is pretty much a smoking gun that the whistleblowing being used as a pretext to impeach Trump is manufactured by the Deep State.

Now that I’ve had time to digest this aspect of the ongoing and perpetual coup against Trump, something disturbing has occurred to me.  It is very possible that we will see more and more fake hearsay whistleblowers against Trump.  In fact, the Deep State is practically calling for that per former CIA director John Brennan’s tweet:

A reminder to federal officials: There is no limit on the number of individuals who can use the whistleblower statute. If you think you were involved in unlawful activity as a result of a directive from Mr. Trump or someone doing his bidding, now is the time to report it.

Thus the regs may have been changed to unleash not just one fake complaint but a wave of manufactured whistleblowing against Trump to create the illusion of massive wrongdoing.

If you think I am just being paranoid, I hope you are right. Trust me that I do.  If the ongoing coup is not abandoned but instead becomes more intense, I fear for this country.

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.

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.
