The Rest 3


There's more.  We already know that the Democrats deny the results of the Mueller investigation of Trump. They demanded the investigation, got who they wanted to lead it and it was duly stuffed with Hillary supporting lawyers. But they still did not like the results. Here is another thing they demanded and will again challenge the findings. They simply cannot accept facts that contradict their feelings which they know to be true. So truth and facts are meaningless to them.  They had the GAO conduct a study which they were sure would prove that internet sales of weapons would be found as a treasure trove of illegal gun sales. Quote: "The study, which aimed to “assess the extent to which [the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives] is enforcing existing laws and investigate whether online private sellers sell firearms to people who are not allowed or eligible to possess a firearm,” was conducted at the request of three Democratic lawmakers who believe that private gun dealers are using the Internet to sell weapons to people who aren’t allowed to have them. Those lawmakers are now insisting the GAO’s methodology is to blame for the ‘inaccurate’ results."    http://punchingbagpost.com/2018/01/18/democrat-ordered-study-on-guns-backfires/    One of the problems with the Democrats is that they know they are right even when facts prove them wrong.  There are many other examples of that way of thinking in this piece along.

This is a very good example of Democrat party's propensity to gleefully embrace stupid political positions. Quote: "While there are many arguments for the need to increase border security, the economic argument is certainly one of the most compelling. As more and more immigrants continue to flood across the border, the economic toll that they place on the country continues to rise. Now, one study has found that over $100 billion of taxpayer money is used each year to fund benefits for illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants who enter the United States are able to access benefits such as healthcare, education, and more without paying a dime back to the country in taxes. Not only is this a major strain on the U.S. economy, but it is also a compelling incentive for illegal immigrants to continue crossing over into the United States. This creates a vicious cycle that our country can no longer afford. In spite of this, though, leftist politicians continue to fight against increased border security while also pushing to offer even more taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants. If nothing is done to stop them, the economic toll of illegal immigration will continue to skyrocket."    https://www.libertyvideonews.com/study-100b-in-taxpayer-money-used-for-immigrant-benefits/   Left wing academics come in all types.  This is one of the loopy types.  She talks high brow professor speak but displays total ignorance of history, and facts and comes across as a holier than thou egotistical blow hard. No wonder college students way to often graduate all screwed up by left wing egomaniacs with fancy degrees but little actual wisdom or useful knowledge. Her academic specialty is - no wonder - Haitian street politics????     https://godfatherpolitics.com/dartmouth-professor-says-all-people-who-own-a-gun-are-evil/

Here is another reason to never, ever consider Democrats are being honest when they spout off about free stuff while on the campaign trail that if elected they will graciously give us. Quote: "Nobel Laureate Economist Milton Friedman (pictured) famously said that “there is no such thing as a free lunch.”  Apparently, the radical left-wingers who are steering the Democratic Party to the port side do not understand that – or they are hoping that there are enough ignorant voters who actually believe in the possibility of free lunches. Shamefully misled by such diehard socialists as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, by such desperate for attention presidential candidates as uber liberal Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren or by such clueless political neophytes as New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, there does appear to be a rather large number of gullible voters – especially among the young who are being similarly misled in the ivy-covered towers of academia. The commentary is dedicated to the “gullible.”  And,  "Let me state emphatically that the “no free lunch” admonition is true.  Nothing in life is free except freedom – and even that occasionally requires paying a heavy cost to defend it. If you believe that government can provide you with free medical care, free education and free food, you need to explain who pays for all those freebies.  After all, doctors and nurses still need to be paid.  Hospitals need to pay for all that amazing diagnostic medical equipment. And who pays for all those teachers and college professors and the upkeep on the ivy-covered buildings?   Who pays for all the free benefits of welfare – food, housing, childcare? I could go on, but you get the point.  SOMEONE must pay for all that so-called free stuff.  And guess what, that someone is the American taxpayer.  Government pays for nothing – although we always say that this and that is provided by government.  But YOU are the source of the money that pays for the stuff government doles out."    http://punchingbagpost.com/2019/04/28/horist-free-stuff-is-not-free-not-ever/?
 
This item is a good discussion of the long standing Israeli - Palestinian conflict.  Quote: "Then the Arabs completely, and unambiguously, rejected the General Assembly's partition plan, believing that, once the British left Mandatory Palestine, they would defeat the Jews and control the entire area. Of course the Arabs failed, despite the help of several armies. The Jewish state of Israel, established in 1948, endured, and the Palestinian Arabs, who could have had their own state, remained stateless. Since then, the Palestinians have repeatedly turned down offers of statehood. First, they did not seek the West Bank when Jordan controlled it from 1949 to 1967. Only when the land was back in Israeli control following the Six-Day War did the Palestinians again call it disputed. Twelve years later, Israel worked to offer the Palestinians autonomy, which would have been a major step toward full independence, to no avail. Then in 2000 and 2008, Israel offered the Palestinians control of virtually all of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, with a capital in East Jerusalem. Each time the Palestinians rejected the offer, even waging a violent uprising against the Israelis following the failure in 2000. One would be hard-pressed to find another national independence movement, beyond the Palestinian one, that has turned down formal offers of statehood in the territory they claim. Indeed, the Palestinians have, time and again, set new standards for stubbornness."    https://freebeacon.com/national-security/how-palestinians-created-own-plight/?    One can conclude that both the Palestinian leadership and their Arab neighbors do not want a solution so as to keep the conflict going to garner global support for what they collectively want which is the elimination of Israel.
