Things To Think About 1

This is a fact.  The title of the piece says it all.  "The New Left: Violent, Weak, Juvenile, Cowards."  But here are a few of the words detailing that truth.  Quote: "The Democratic Party of JFK is gone. The days of American civil discourse are over. In their place has risen a disturbing tide of violence and cowardice. Of child-like tantrums in the face of disappointment. Harassing, threatening, and attacking anyone who dares to disagree with them. This is the new left. A collection of violent, weak, juvenile, cowards. One would think that a party that calls themselves the ‘Democrats’ would be able to handle democracy. You would hope that when, inevitably in a democratic society, a vote, an election, did not go their way, adults would act like adults. Yet such is not the case with the new left. When, following President Trump’s election, supposed adults gathered to literally scream at the sky, yes, the sky, that, however juvenile an action, would be the end of it. You could make sure they are not a school bus driver, then simply laugh at them. But this is the new left. A new left armed with Anitfa, antagonizing politicians, and an apologist and leftist media. This is the new left. Violent, weak, juvenile, cowards. Antifa, a collection of cowardly, masked neo-fascists. Cut from every sports team they ever tried out for. Rejected by every potential date they ever sought. More likely than not kicked out of their Dungeons & Dragons club for being too weird. Now they appear like magical masked cockroaches to attack, en masse, anyone who disagrees with them. Take the story of Andy Ngo. A conservative reporter covering an Antifa riot in Portland a few weeks ago, Ngo was surrounded by masked Antifa cowards, pepper-sprayed and viciously assaulted. Then there was the case of a lone woman leaving a San Jose Trump rally in 2016. A single woman, leaving a political rally, attacked, assaulted with eggs, spit on, with bottles hurled at her. Andy Ngo, a lone man of slight stature and a lone woman in San Jose, attacked by riotous mobs of masked, weak, cowards. At any other time, and by any other group, this would be called what it is, domestic terrorism. Using intimidation, violence, and threats of violence to influence a political agenda. But this is not any other time and Antifa is not any other group. They are the army of the new left. The new left. Violent, weak, juvenile, cowards."  And,  "This is a new world we are living in, one with a new left in this country. Violent, weak, members of Antifa, attacking and threatening anyone that they disagree with, provided that they can find them alone, isolate them, and attack 15 on 1 like true cowards. Democrat politicians calling for harassment and violence to further their democratically rejected agendas. A leftist media freely fanning the flames of hate and violence. The Democrats claim that they want to re-capture this country from Trump. They should begin by trying to re-capture their own party from what it has become.  The new left. Violent, weak, juvenile, cowards."    https://townhall.com/columnists/paulcurry/2019/08/12/the-new-left-violent-weak-juvenile-cowards-n2551506?

Think about this.  Democrats actually want to restrict free speech, a blatant violation of the First Amendment.  Quote: "Senate Democrats want to dramatically curtail freedom of speech by passing a constitutional amendment to override the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling. While their efforts won’t get far while the GOP controls both the White House and the Senate, such a bill could easily be passed into law if the Democrats win back the Senate and the presidency in the upcoming 2020 election."  And,  "Unfortunately, restricting the speech of some is exactly what Democrats want to do. The Democracy for All Amendment isn’t about stopping large companies from getting involved in politics. Many Democrats benefit from political donations from large corporations, and will probably find ways to continue doing so even if Citizens United is overturned. Instead, the dangerous Democracy for All Amendment is about restricting the First Amendment rights of certain organizations. Conservative groups that run alternative news sites or use large amounts of funds to publicize their views would be targeted by the proposed amendment. Wealthy individuals who dare to speak up about politically incorrect topics could face legal action. The Citizens United Supreme Court ruling actually protects freedom of speech by ensuring that people cannot be taken to court simply because they use their money to spread their views on politics. It protects conservative and liberal voices alike, and tearing that ruling down would essentially put government bureaucrats in charge of political speech, making it possible for any future government to restrict dissenting voices they don’t like."    https://www.conservativezone.com/articles/senate-democrats-push-for-an-end-to-free-speech-as-we-know-it/ 

Another bit of bold faced truth regarding the political left Democrats who believe in their hearts that they are better than the rest of us.  This is a bold faced lie. They are the opposite of good.  This piece lays out the truth.  Quote: "If Democratic Thugs Didn’t Kill Epstein, Leftists’ Worldview Certainly Did."  And,  "Hence it is likely the FBI is already investigating, and just in case the bureau might get “Strzoked,” he also formally empowered the Inspector General to open a parallel track inquiry. Despite what paranoid never-trump talk-radio voices seethed about this weekend, transparency and accountability in this (and in all criminal matters) are good. The nexus of established Democratic corruption within the bureau—that until the election of President Trump went undetected—alone is justification to sniff out any possibility that might exist to confirm (or deny) the involvement of high profile Democrats. These dragnets should necessarily also snag any celebrities, royals, or republicans that also might be exposed. It’s the right thing to do."  And,  "I want the Attorney General to ferret out whether or not Democratic thugs put a hit on Epstein to attempt to shut him up. But the thinking that contributed to the polluted life and inglorious end of that person was certainly rooted in the very philosophy that a morality-free progressive left champions every single day. It harms us all to say otherwise.  https://townhall.com/columnists/kevinmccullough/2019/08/11/if-democratic-thugs-didnt-kill-epstein-leftists-worldview-certainly-did-n2551485?

This is important for all of us to understand as the global left wing movement continues its charge ever leftward, including our own Democrat party.  It deals with the web on political and economic intrigue between China, Venezuela and Russia and what Trump is doing to deal with at least a part of the problems this movement portends.  Quote: "Most people don’t associate the devastation of the Venezuela by communist leader Nicolas Maduro with China, yet Venezuelan oil lies at the heart of China’s interests and as a result, they have been propping up the murderous South American leader. Shockingly, Venezuela has the largest known reserves of oil in the world, and in 1950 had the fourth largest Gross Domestic Product in the world and second highest GDP per capita. Venezuela’s economy was six times the size of China, and as late as 1982, they were still the largest GDP in South America. However, by 2017 Venezuela’s per capita GDP had shrunk back to levels last seen at the turn of the century, and they continue to shrink in spite of its impressive oil reserves."  And,  "Now that President Trump has wisely imposed additional economic sanctions on Venezuela which pressures the Chinese and Russians to end their financing of the Maduro terror machine, the country hangs in the balance. While the sanctions impact the Venezuelan oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela, American companies which have been working in Venezuela since the 1920s developing the original fields, have a sanctions waiver in place until October. These U.S. based oil companies have used their expertise and capital to keep the flagging Venezuelan oil production alive and are essential to offsetting any move by Maduro to turn over his countries oil wealth to the Chinese in exchange for capital to keep his repressive regime in power. And while the temptation might exist in some quarters to let these waivers for U.S. oil interests to expire, the net effect would be to hand over a turnkey oil operation to the Chinese which would cement Maduro’s hold on power. This is why the United States should indefinitely extend these waivers so that there is certainty in this unstable region, allowing the hoped for Guaidó government to hit the ground running when they gain control over the levers of power without having to uproot entrenched Chinese interests."  And,  "Keeping China and Russia from having a strategic and economic foothold in what is the most oil rich nation in the world which lies less than 3,000 miles from our Gulf Coast is what ultimately matters for our national and economic security, and extending the waivers for U.S. oil companies to operate in Venezuela serves that greater interest. President Trump has wisely issued the waivers, and now he should create regional certainty in this one area by extending them indefinitely."    https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2019/08/14/venezuela_china_russia__oh_my_110466.html
