Inconvenient Truths 3

The problem with Socialism is that it never works.  Here is a book report.  Quote: "At 192 pages in a 4-by-7-inch (hardback) format, The Problem with Socialism is a quick read. A narrator spends 3 hours and 51 minutes reading the book aloud, unabridged, on audible.com. (It is available also on Kindle).  DiLorenzo begins by showing why socialism poisons economic growth and prosperity and why it always and everywhere turns into an economic disaster. Three problems plague socialism, he writes: incentive, knowledge, and economic calculation problems. Key among them is an enforced lack of market prices, making it impossible to craft rational economic decisions."  And, "He dispels a number of socialist myths and superstitions about capitalism. These include the capitalist myths of “subsistence wages,” the “abusive factory,” “robber barons,” “predatory pricing,” and the “Capitalism-Causes-War” myth. Free market capitalism is about trade. “It is about the free exchange of goods and ideas, which encourages peace and mutual understanding.” Free market capitalism keeps wars at bay. It prevents war, not cause them." And, "(With the mainstream media studiously ignoring Venezuela, you can see what’s really happening there now by watching Jeff Berwick’s 26-minute video “Venezuela Descends into Chaos, Europe and US Next,” where he describes his recent visit to Caracas on YouTube here. See also this Venezuelan woman’s 3-minute video, “Raw Venezuela: Looter & “Streets Filled with People Seeking Food,” available here.)"     https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/07/donald-w-miller-jr-md/problem-socialism-defined/   

This guy does not have his head screwed on tightly enough.  It is likely that he is inadvertently revealing his own stupidity.  http://www.infowars.com/hillary-strategist-blames-stupid-white-people-for-popularity-of-trump/?

It is safe to say that Louis Farakan is a vile human being.  Quote: "Just a few short hours before a gunman targeted Dallas police officers for execution, killing five and injuring seven others, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan posted a vile message of hatred and called on blacks to use violence against white people on his Twitter account."   Watch the video.     http://rightwise.com/news/nation-islam-leader-posts-sick-video-hours-dallas-police-massacre/ 

Quote: "It’s a perilous time for Democrats.  As the party prepares to convene in the birthplace of democracy, it faces dangers from within and without that threaten to destroy its chances to govern at a time of uncertainty, upheaval and unpredictability.  The nation’s attention has just been focused on four days of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, capped by a speech in which Donald Trump told us we were unsafe and could only be saved by a strong leader unbound by political correctness, unafraid to confront the world.  Democrats have already begun focusing on the excesses of that convention but they risk missing the very important point: People are angry. People are fearful. There is a stifling political correctness in the country. Those feelings are real, and so are their causes. And the party that will win is the party that will best address them.   http://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/columns-blogs/steve-sebelius/democrats-must-confront-hard-truths

Hillary's knowledge of business and economics is by all accounts is lacking.  Her approach to these topics is decidedly socialistic or even fascistic given her propensity to have government dictate terms under which they operate.  She does not understand that government interference is a large part of what is wrong with our nation's economy.  Quote: "It is clear that the Left led by Clinton does not like executives getting paid regardless of how they get paid.  It is only acceptable to get compensation for books, speeches, making movies, supercilious television shows or protecting people from the government by being a lobbyist or lawyer who sues someone based on a new right given to people by Hillary’s accomplices.  The new rules would not only limit incentive pay, but mandate that 60% of these bonuses be deferred for at least four years.  These bonuses could also be required to be repaid (clawed back) for up to seven years after being paid in the event of losses attributable to poor judgment or undue risk-taking by the recipient.  Of course, a government apparatchik, who has had zero business experience, would determine the need for the claw back with information developed way after the fact.  One would think that people in the financial sector would think of Hillary being akin to their worst mother-in-law nightmare.  But that appears not obvious for many, particularly in the financial sector.  Clinton has drawn more money from the Wall Street sector than the others candidates combined.  To most these people would seem delusional, but you have to dig below the surface."    http://townhall.com/columnists/brucebialosky/2016/07/24/hillary-the-source-of-business-n2195716?

Obama's brother, Malik, was deeply disappointed with the job he did as president.  He even switched parties from Democrat to Republican and intends to vote for Donald Trump.  Quote: "Although he was born in Kenya, public records show Malik Obama has been a resident of Maryland, working for many years as an accountant, being registered as a lifelong Democrat.  But he told the Post his “deep disappointment” in Barack’s administration prompted him to recently switch allegiance to “the party of Lincoln.”  He said the last straw was the FBI’s recommendation of no charges for Democrat Hillary Clinton over her use of a private e-mail servers while U.S. secretary of state."        http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/obamas-brother-voting-for-donald-trump/

Quote: "The common understanding of the famous Marbury v. Madison case is that it established the authority of the Supreme Court to determine what the Constitution says. From there, it’s held that the Court gets to determine the limitations placed on the federal government as well as the states. In short, the rest of the federal government, and the states, are bound by what the Supreme Court decides.  But is that the truth? A paper from Northwestern University School of Law Constitutional Theory Colloquium Series seeks to clear up the myths associated with the Marbury decision. In the first sentence of his 2004 paper, “The Irrepressible Myth of Marbury,” Michael Stokes Paulsen sets the mood for the rest: Nearly all of American constitutional law today rests on a myth."    http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2015/03/08/the-myth-of-marbury-v-madison/

Are these people the kind you want to associate with?  Quote: "An elderly white man was walking on his way to work in Washington, D.C. when he encountered a group of Black Lives Matter protesters. (I guess that’s what kids do these days while the grown-ups work – or try to anyway.)  The protesters were gathered on the sidewalk, and the man wanted to be able to use the sidewalk to continue on his way to work, but the protesters wouldn’t allow it. He tried to walk through the small crowd, but they blocked him with their outstretched arms."    http://eaglerising.com/35242/blm-protesters-wont-let-white-guy-use-the-sidewalk-use-your-white-privilege-to-walk-around-video/

The debt disaster.  Quote: " The federal debt moved above $19,400,000,000,000 for the first time as of the close of business on Tuesday, according to the data released today by the U.S. Treasury."  And, "In the less than nine months since then, the federal debt has increased by $1,249,380,205,181.94"  I ask you, is this monstrous debt sustainable????  Congress and the President are now and have for some time been completely irresponsible in managing our nation's fiscal health.  If you don't think the situation is all that bad, take a look at the speed with which we accumulate debt.   This debt clock shows you in real time what is happening.... http://www.usdebtclock.org/

One has to wonder.  Quote: "The Democratic National Convention has turned a women’s restroom into an “all-gender” bathroom at the Wells Fargo Arena. The all-gender bathroom is one of the ways the DNC is infusing its party platform into the arena accommodations. The arena also has a “gluten-free zone” and garbage cans are categorized by landfill, recycling, and compost."  And, "At least one person at the DNC cares, according to media reports.  “I don’t need no man in the next stall next to me while I go to the bathroom,” a female employee of the arena told Mynorthwest.com.  “We need a male and female she said. I’ve got personal business. I’m trying to keep it real.”  “It’s privacy. I need privacy.”    http://freebeacon.com/politics/dnc-turns-womens-restroom-gender-bathroom/?

Quote: "Under the guise of fighting “violence against children,” the Obama administration has joined forces with socalist foreign regimes and various United Nations agencies in a “global partnership” to wage war on parental rights. The controversial worldwide initiative, which aims to criminalize spanking and smacking as disciplinary tools, among other things, is part of the UN's Agenda 2030, also known as the “Sustainable Development Goals.”  Essentially, the UN is betting that framing the assault on families as a bid to end “violence against children” — something nobody in their right mind would oppose — will make it easier to pursue the sidelining of parents. The plan also calls for vast new data-gathering capabilities to ensure children are being raised in accordance with extreme UN standards that were unthinkable even a few years ago. But opponents of the UN agenda argue that the global organization itself is among the lead violators of children's rights — and parents, by contrast, are the primary protectors of children."    http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/23668-obama-and-un-join-forces-to-assault-parental-rights-worldwide

This is an example of what the progressive leftist, their intolerance of others and political correctness has wrought.  Quote: "According to Heat Street, after administrators at Cal State LA canceled a speech by Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro scheduled for late February, they were deluged with phone calls and emails from students, parents and alumni angry that the University was limiting free speech.  Two months before the scheduled speech, which was titled “When Diversity Becomes A Problem,” members of the administration acknowledged that Shapiro’s well-known criticisms of the tactics of the Left could engender an explosive reaction from furious leftists. Ironically, Shapiro’s speech was championing the value of diversity of thought and free speech."    http://www.dailywire.com/news/7757/csula-canceled-shapiro-after-leftists-compared-him-hank-berrien?

Quote: "If elected, Clinton will be a tool of the special interests, Wall Street and the power brokers in the Democrat Party. If Trump is elected, he will be an independent leader answering only to the American people.  The choice is clear, and the stakes are extremely high; the status quo or change; continuing down the road to socialism or reversing course and embracing capitalism; saving our country from terrorism, illegal aliens, and criminals who target police officers or moving the country toward more lawlessness and chaos?  Hopefully, the American people will choose well in November. It may be our last chance to save America."     http://townhall.com/columnists/jeffcrouere/2016/07/23/trump-sets-the-bar-high-for-lowethics-hillary-n2196687?

While I have no regard for Bernie Sanders, the Democrat National Party seems to have even less.  This item addresses content of 19,000 emails Wikileaks recently exposed.  Contents reveal just how unethical and corrupt the party leadership really is.  Quote: "On Friday, website Wikileaks posted over 19,000 emails that were taken from the Democratic National Committee that show story manipulation and collusion with the MSM, internal attempts to sabotage Bernie Sanders during the primary, and a whole lot more. This huge political story and scandal broke on Friday morning, though you may not have heard about it. It seems the collusion extended even to burying the story of the leak itself, as most news outlets gave it minimal coverage and little air time, and Twitter was accused of actively covering it up."  And, "There's so much more, and we'll bring it all to you over the weekend and through the convention. The short version is that the DNC really hates Morning Mika, really hates Bernie Sanders, and really didn't want you to know about it.  And neither did Twitter or the television divisions, apparently.  Democrats really are the party of collusion, corruption and cover-ups. No wonder they like Hillary so much."    http://www.redstate.com/absentee/2016/07/23/collusion-corruption-cover-20000-emails-dnc-released-wikileaks/?

Virginia governor and Hillary supporter tried to guarantee 200,000 thousand extra votes for her.  But the Virginia Supreme Court shut down his voter fraud scheme. Quote: "A huge vote bump expected by the Hillary Clinton campaign in the state of Virginia just vanished, thanks to that state’s Supreme Court, which Friday struck down the controversial executive order by Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe allowing hundreds of thousands of convicted felons to vote in November.  Approximately 206,000 Virginia felons were affected by his April 22 order.  But McAuliffe’s order is unconstitutional, the court ruled 4-3, ordering that the Virginia Department of Elections “cancel the registration of all felons who have been invalidly registered” since McAuliffe issued his order." http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/virginia-supreme-court-kills-mcauliffes-felon-voting-scheme/

This is about countering the left's persistent need to correct other people's word usage.  Quote: "Because of the unusual left-wing fixation on making your tongue compliant, there is much hoopla in the opinion pages demanding you to refrain from the “harmful,” “racist,” and “perilous” phrase “All Lives Matter.”  The left is apoplectic if you say it, even if you’re a Person of Color™.  In an inexplicable attempt at comprehensiveness, Vox.com has come up with a startling 9 super-helpful ways for leftists to correct non-leftists who are bigotedly using the obviously bigoted phrase.  That is, in the unlikely event that their leftist readers haven’t destroyed all contact with anyone who isn’t a true believer in all three legs of the Socialist-NonCisHeteroWhiteMaleist-Environmentalist triumvirate of Goodness."     http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/07/correcting_wording_matters.html    This is a logical follow-up.  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/07/liberalism_and_identity_politics.html  

As usual the man's ego gets in the way of facts.  Ignoring or dismissing these facts confirms that he is delusional.  If he does not know it now the history books will detail his failed presidency and likely mark it as one of if not the worst in history.  http://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2016/07/23/bold-fox-news-anchor-asks-obama-if-wrong-track-polling-is-an-indictment-of-his-presidency-n2196408? 

This man is as corrupt as his boss and the EPA administrator belongs right beside him.  This item displays their utter nonsense.  Not one ethical fiber can be found in their being.  Quote: "Air conditioners and refrigerators pose as big a threat to "life on the planet" as the threat of terrorism, Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday. Kerry was in Vienna negotiating a global climate deal to phase out chemicals used as refrigerants in basic household and commercial appliances such as air conditioning and refrigerators, called hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs. The chemicals are a potent source of greenhouse gas emissions that many scientists blame for contributing to global warming."     http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/kerry-air-conditioners-worse-than-isis/article/2597416?

This summary is certainly the truth and is most inconvenient for Hillary and the whole of the Democrat party.   Quote: "Then, looking forward to the coming week, Kupelian observes: “If you want to get an idea of just how far to the left the Democrat Party is right now … go online to the Communist Party – forget the Socialist Party – the Communist Party USA, CPUSA.org.”  “Do you know what they’ve got up there [on their website]? Their main themes?” asked Kupelian. “Stop the cops killing innocent black men, bashing Donald Trump and the GOP, global warming, stop Islamophobia, stop homophobia. It is a carbon copy, Perry, of today’s Democratic Party.”     http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/hillarys-stronger-together-theme-a-joke-says-snapping-author/

Lawlessness has increased during Obama's tenure in office.  His defiance of laws as well as that of his administration and his total disdain for police have made major contributions to this situation. Quote: "The murder rate in 29 of the largest American cities was up in the first six months of 2016, according to data from the Major Cities Chiefs Association.  According to the data, reported on by The Wall Street Journal,  homicides were up 15 percent in the 51 large cities that provided information for the survey. More than half of that was attributed to two cities, however: Chicago, which is plagued by gang violence, and Orlando, where 49 people were shot to death at a gay nightclub in June by a man who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State during his attack."  http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/murder-rate-up-29/2016/07/25/id/740429/

The Philadelphia police are upset with the Democrats.  Their line up of speakers includes anti-police but none pro-police.  And the DNC wants police protection.  Go figure. http://ijr.com/2016/07/656814-blistering-letter-from-philly-police-has-clinton-camp-on-defense-over-dnc-speaker-lineup/   Contrast that with what Donald Trump did after the Republican convention where the work of and support for police was a theme throughout.   http://patriotupdate.com/trump-pulls-classiest-move-2016/    Everyone knows the Democrats have had a big hand in promoting Black Lives Matter actions and hateful rhetoric, Hillary included.  And, Obama has been beating up on police ever since he entered office.  No big deal.  Democrats are anti-law, multitude of evidence says so.
