Important Stuff To Think About

This item suggests that many unsavory inhabitants of the Washington, DC swamp are afraid of is an honest man such as AG William Barr. Quote: "If you are bewildered by the weird antipathy with which Democrats and the media regard Attorney General William Barr, consider a passage from the Nobel Prize acceptance speech delivered by Polish dissident Czesław Miłosz in 1980: “In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.” Our government hasn’t yet devolved into the kind of totalitarian regime under which Poland groaned at that time, but there is a conspiracy of silence surrounding the skullduggery that led to the Russia collusion fraud, and Barr fired that metaphorical pistol on April 10, 2019. Barr used the word “spying” during testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee with regard to his plan to look into counterintelligence activities against the Trump campaign during the 2016 election cycle "  And,  "It goes without saying, of course, that the legacy media have denounced Barr for telling the truth. In his latest effusion for New York, Jonathan Chait informs his readers, “Barr has drunk deep from the Fox News worldview of Trumpian paranoia.” In response to the Attorney General’s common sense assertion during the CBS interview that it is unhealthy for our institutions to resist “a democratically elected president… by changing the norms,” Chait actually writes: “In fact, the opposition to Trump has been marked, on the whole, by its fastidious restraint.” This suggests that he should stay away from the bar before writing about Barr. This kind of nonsense from the legacy media, combined with ridiculous claims by the Democrats that a man with William Barr’s record has no credibility and self-exculpatory balderdash from fabulists like John Brennan and James Comey, suggest that the real problem they have with the Attorney General is his blindingly obvious integrity. There are few things that scare the denizens of D.C. more than an honest man. The only thing they fear more is an honest man who doesn’t give a damn what they think of him. William Barr is their worst nightmare."    https://spectator.org/william-barr-is-washingtons-worst-nightmare/?

Consider who these elites are, their motives and what they want to impose on us. Note what Trump told the people of Poland what he wants instead. Which of the two do you prefer?  Quote: "We in the West are no longer threatened by monarchism but by the totalitarian impulse of ever-expanding bureaucratic institutions and mindsets.  These mindsets find their home in the vast secular bureaucracies of Brussels, Geneva, the UN, and, in U.S. politics, our ever-expanding federal and state power here at home. Western Civilization is threatened also by the globalist worldview that believes an informed elite can manage a more peaceful world where both problems and solutions are shared among all nations.  The individual is disparaged as lacking in power and usefulness and as a fundamentally selfish entity who can never understand the utilitarian principle of the greatest good of the greatest number. Thus, even the mass immigration of Muslim peoples from the Middle East, North Africa, and Africa to Europe or the USA -- can be perceived as a type of globalist response to the tensions, upheavals, and dictatorial mode of governments that are typical of those regions. The violent internal tribalism and intolerance of opposing viewpoints characteristic of third world hellholes nearly always is at or close to the boiling point in Muslim countries.  The globalists of the West perceive this as a mindset that can be changed by having experience of liberal democratic societies. Allowing the migration is like providing a pressure valve release where the oppressed, impoverished people of those beleaguered countries can escape and find refuge instead of having to engage in endless turmoil in order to justify themselves and find some meager rations."  And,  "President Donald Trump made it very clear in his passionate speech to the Polish people in June of 2017.  Our struggle really is not mainly Democrat vs. Republican or conservative vs liberal/leftists.  Rather, it is a struggle against fascism and communism now allied in the cause of globalism implemented by bureaucratic monoliths – vast multilateral networks of bright, unelected, technocratic, systems and paperwork experts whose only purpose in life is to implement a New World Order thus superseding the hegemony of Western Civilization.  “Our own fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield -- it begins with our minds, our wills, and our souls….  We pursue innovation. We celebrate our ancient heroes, embrace our timeless traditions and customs, and always seek to explore and discover brand-new frontiers.  We reward brilliance. We strive for excellence, and cherish inspiring works of art that honor God. We treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and free expression….  And we debate everything. We challenge everything. We seek to know everything so that we can better know ourselves.  And above all, we value the dignity of every human life, protect the rights of every person, and share the hope of every soul to live in freedom. That is who we are. Those are the priceless ties that bind us together as nations, as allies, and as a civilization.”        https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/06/encroaching_totalitarianism_in_the_west.html

This item proves that Democrat left leaning socialist political leadership is leading their party to inevitable disaster.  Quote: "Ten Plagues of California Are Turning The Golden State into a Third-World Hell Hole. In your typical Third-World megalopolis, basic city functions fall into disrepair, while once-eradicated diseases run rampant -- and the local bigwig boasts about saving the world. Los Angeles is quickly becoming a typical Third-World megalopolis, and the rest of the state isn't far behind. Yesterday the New York Post reported "rats running everywhere among piles of decaying garbage," in a "sprawling 50-block area that is believed to be the base for around 4,200 homeless people." Local columnist Steve Lopez called his city a "giant trash receptacle" and asked, "Did someone turn back the calendar a few hundred years?” No, Steve, the city government turned hard left is all. Although debate fans might note that that's a distinction without a difference. So where did all that trash come from? Los Angelenos are dumping it out in the streets -- and the city isn't collecting it. Two weeks ago Fox News reported that the problem goes back at least to last October, when the city noticed nine cases of typhus. The city "cleaned up some of the worst piles of garbage," but then they slacked right back off. The huge pile returned quickly, but officials at first said that it "could take up to 90 days before it's cleaned up."   And,  "Blackouts, typhus, poop, an army of homeless, wildfires, contaminated syringes, garbage, rats, fleas, and Progressive government -- these are the Plages of California. I'd ask the last person to leave California to please turn off the lights, but they'll have gone dark long ago."    https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/ten-plagues-of-california-are-turning-the-golden-state-into-a-third-world-hell-hole/?
