Interesting Items To Consider 1

Walter William is a great one for sharing wisdom with us.  This item is a good example.   Quote: "One of the most challenging and important jobs for an economics professor is to teach students how little we know and can possibly know. My longtime friend and colleague Dr. Thomas Sowell says, “It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.” Nobel laureate Friedrich August von Hayek admonished, “The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.” The fact that we have gross ignorance about how the world operates is ignored by the know-it-all elites who seek to control our lives. Let’s look at a few examples of the world’s complexity."   And,  "The bottom line is that each of us is grossly ignorant about the world in which we live. Nothing’s wrong with that ignorance, but we are stupid if we believe that a politician can produce a better life than that which is obtained through peaceable, voluntary exchange with our fellow man anywhere on earth."    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/11/08/ignorance-versus-stupidity/

Here is another brilliant Walter Williams piece.  He is a brilliant black man who addresses head on the problems facing black Americans.  This is a powerful indictment of the political left's naked use of black people for political purposes.  Quote: "When hunting was the major source of food, hunters often used stalking horses as a means of sneaking up on their prey. They would synchronize their steps on the side of the horse away from their prey until they were close enough for a good shot. A stalking horse had a double benefit if the prey was an armed person. If the stalkers were discovered, it would be the horse that took the first shot. That’s what blacks are to liberals and progressives in their efforts to transform America — stalking horses. Let’s look at it."   And, "There are several recommendations that I might make. The first and most important is that black Americans stop being useful tools for the leftist hate-America agenda. As for black politicians and civil rights leaders, if they’re going to sell their people down the river, they should demand a higher price. For example, if black congressmen vote in support of the Davis-Bacon Act, they ought to demand that construction unions give 30 percent of the jobs to black workers. Finally, many black problems are exacerbated by white liberal guilt. White liberals ought to stop feeling guilty so that they can be more respectful in their relationships with black Americans."    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/11/15/stalking-horses/

The left's incessant rants about racist America leads to things like this.  This is ironic since they are 100% responsible for stirring up racial hatred that they have been promoting for years and years. Any legitimate review of history unconditionally documents that the Democrat party is the party of the KKK, euthanasia of blacks (founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger), Woodrow Wilson segregated the federal government that had been integrated following the civil war, and much, much more.  Check if out if you do not believe me.  A convenient well documented source is Dinesh D'Souza's book "The Big Lie".    http://centurylink.net/news/read/article/the_associated_press-air_force_academy_silent_on_motive_in_hate_crime_h-ap/category/news

The question is whether people who support the revisiting of Communism are sane or not. Quote: "A century of Communism achieved four main results for the people who suffered under it: poverty, oppression, war, and mass death. Countries taken over by Communists, from China and Russia to Cuba and Venezuela, were either plunged from relative prosperity into starvation or walled off for decades from the growing prosperity of capitalist countries – often right next door, enjoying all the same benefits of geography and culture."       http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/11/one_hundred_years_of_failure_but_many_keep_buying_it.html   Unfortunately our nation's Democrat party has gone insane.

This item is right on target.  Quote: "It has become increasingly clear that the left’s ever-more-bizarre agenda for America – from passing laws prescribing imprisonment for those who fail to use the correct transgender pronoun (out of over 50 new genders!), to importing into the U.S. as many migrants as possible from impossible-to-vet, terrorist-hotbed regions of the world, to demonizing centuries of American history and destroying statues of the nation’s founders – is simply insane. Not “progressive,” not “radical.” Insane. How and why, then, is the left able to “sell” this suicidal agenda to millions of otherwise rational people? By what magic do they convince decent, law-abiding Americans to allow men to use women’s restrooms and changing rooms and showers? To support abortion up to the very moment of birth, which is in every way identical to the heinous crime of infanticide? To believe that all white people, just because of their skin color, are automatically racists? The answer is simple. They manipulate other people’s emotions, and thereby their thinking. And one of their most effective tactics is the guilt trip – essentially an emotional manipulation in which one party tries to induce guilt feelings in a target person or group for the purpose of controlling their behavior."    http://wec.wnd.com/read/archive?id=639312&mid=3104841&e=georgeburns%40embarqmail%2ecom&x=10b0a28f

This item provides insight into the real Russian collusion by Congressional Democrats, the DNC and Hillary campaign that they repeatedly lied about.  The truth has been revealed.  Quote: "We learned last month that the Clinton campaign and DNC contributed funds for the file, destroying previous denials.  Fusion GPS also represented the Russian government's interests on projects they say were unrelated to election meddling, though the periods of their involvement with Steele's dossier and with the Russian government overlapped. Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberly Strassel has also written compellingly about Congressional Democrats' efforts to shield Fusion GPS from scrutiny."  http://trumptrainnews.com/articles/russian-lawyer-from-trump-tower-meeting-met-with-dnc-dossier-firm-the-same-day     The amount and level of Democrat dishonesty and lack of ethics is truly astounding to observe.  Yet they claim to be the most honest, decent, reliable, ethical and tolerant people on earth.  It is their claim that it is those da**m Republicans, conservatives and Christians who are the problem.  And they do so with a straight face despite all the mountains of evidence to the contrary.    Hillary is simply demented if she does not accept what most people know is true.  Even today she blames others for her failure to win the presidency. Nothing SHE does is wrong.  She is so dishonest and deceitful she will never admit she has even one flaw.    http://freebeacon.com/politics/clinton-brazile-claims-campaign-taking-dnc-case/?

This is a piece dealing with a Democrat who may run for president.  For the record my opinion is that he is a dishonest, unethical and manipulative person close to the Clinton clan and would be a bad president. There is evidence that he at least tangentially contributed to the recent racially motivated disaster in Charlottsville, VA.  This next item only touches on one of the many reasons that will arise as to why we should avoid him at all costs.   https://www.westernjournalism.com/governor-claimed-guns-kill-93-million-americans-daily-may-2020-dem-nominee-president/?   Here is another reason we need to keep our distance from him.  He is a dirty operator.  Quote: "In May 2017, PILF issued a sequel, “Alien Invasion II,” which found:

•   Virginia election officials quietly removed 5,556 voters for non-citizenship between 2011 and May  2017;
•   1,852 of those removed as noncitizens cast ballots;
•   A total of 7,474 illegal ballots were cast from the pool of removed noncitizens;
•   Some records of illegal voting date back to the 1980s, way before their respective removals;

“Virginia election officials routinely fail to alert law enforcement about these illegal votes or registrations,” the report said. In 2016, Virginia Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe vetoed six voter integrity bills and in April of that year issued a sweeping order restoring voting rights to 200,000 felons. Assembly Republicans asked constitutional attorney Charles J. Cooper to file a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court, which stopped the scheme. Nobody knows how many felons were eventually able to register, but we do know that they lean heavily to the left. All this to say that Virginia’s voter rolls are not being maintained accurately as required by the National Voter Registration Act (Motor Voter Law). If they are as dirty as indicated by PILF’s study, then it’s a good bet that some of these contested races were decided by fraudulent votes."     http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/11/yes_virginia_there_is_vote_fraud.html

This piece says a mouthful and is one hundred percent on the mark.  Quote: "In settled law, we have a concept called “statutes of limitation.” Limitations statutes painfully and regretfully recognize that, with the passage of enough time, memories fade and evidence innocently disappears. Moreover, at some point, even the worst of people deserve some sort of repose. Thus, a victim of a tort — a social wrong like a slip-and-fall — may have only two years to sue. If the victim sues even one day late, there is no mercy; the case is dismissed. When a written contract is breached in many states such as California, the victim has four years to seek legal recourse. Sue one day after the statute has run, and no recourse. If the breached contract was not integrated but merely oral, the clock for bringing a legal action runs out at only two years — because there is no documentation to augment other evidence. A case of defamation — only one year. In fact, under a curiosity of the law called the “single-publication rule,” a person defamed in a book that is published in a limited edition — like only eight copies ever produced, placed respectively in eight separate university libraries in hard-to-find archival stacks, such that no one even knows the manuscript is there — also has only one year to sue, even though she does not even know for years and years about the hidden limited volume that basely defames her. The statute runs from when the book is published, not from when the defamation victim or others learn of it.Thus, it seems rather striking that this Harvey Weinstein Epoch now is resulting in television studios immediately terminating contracts, movie deals being squelched, finished movies being canned before screening, speeches being canceled, guest appearances being rescinded, careers ending — often based on allegations of events that may have happened decades and even scores ago. Just fascinating: the fabulously gifted actor, Kevin Spacey, sunk faster than a victim of President Frank Underwood. The indescribably vile pig, Louis C.K., oink-oinked into oblivion. The cerebral Leon Wieseltier and another at the New Republic. Powerhouses at NPR, at Hollywood studios. Allegations against revered actors like Richard Dreyfuss. And of course the Roy Moore drama, timed so elegantly to erupt days before a critical United States Senate election, notwithstanding that the guy has been a firebrand in the heat of Alabama public life for decades."    https://spectator.org/harvey-weinstein-roy-moore-what-about-the-crimes-of-bill-clinton-and-robert-byrd/

This is a blunt assessment and it seems to be pretty much on target.   http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/11/you_have_to_hand_it_to_hillary__the_girl_can_smear.html

Former DNC Chairwoman, Donna Brazile, is in deep trouble within the Democrat party.  Quote: "Donna Brazile has written a tell-all book about her brief stint as interim chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2016. Brazile chaired the DNC for a few short months after Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was forced out, following the WikiLeaks release of the emails proving that the DNC colluded with the Clinton campaign to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders.  Brazile has broken the cardinal rule of the Democrat Party: Never tell the truth about the DNC or the Clintons in public! Hillary is so hopping mad right now that Ms. Brazile might want to get her brakes checked."  And this is how the party treats what they consider traitors: "But now that Brazile has let the cat out of the bag on so many scandals, the hits keep coming from her own side. She is now a pariah among many of her former friends and they’ve even stooped to calling her a Russian stooge."   http://patrioticviralnews.com/articles/democrats-go-after-donna-brazile-when-she-details-some-hard-truths-about-the-dnc/
