Walter Williams has a way of making the complex simple.  This is a great example.  Quote: "Are white people obsessed with and engaged in a conspiracy against black people? Here's an experiment. Walk up to the average white person and ask, "How many minutes today have you been thinking about black people?" If the person isn't a Klansman or a gushing do-gooder liberal, his answer would probably be zero minutes. If you asked him whether he's a part of a conspiracy to undermine the achievement and well-being of black people, he'd probably look at you as if you were crazy. By the same token, if a person asked me: "Williams, how many minutes today have you been thinking about white people?" My answer would probably be, "Not even a nanosecond." Because people don't care about you one way or another doesn't mean they wish you good will, ill will or no will. They just don't give a damn."  And,  " Black politicians, civil rights leaders and white liberals have peddled victimhood to black people, teaching them that racism is pervasive and no amount of individual effort can overcome racist barriers. Peddling victimhood is not new. Booker T. Washington said: "There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." In an 1865 speech to the Anti-Slavery Society in Boston, abolitionist Frederick Douglass said that people ask: "'What shall we do with the Negro?' I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us!" Or as Patrick Moynihan urged a century later in a 1970 memo to President Richard Nixon, "The time may have come when the issue of race could benefit from a period of 'benign neglect.'"    https://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2019/10/02/who-cares-about-you-n2553910?

Some thoughtful comments that may actually help us escape the incessant left wing collective movement which seeks to assure us that the interests of groups are far more important than those of individuals.  Quote: "Life and happiness in this life under any political system directly depend upon how much our individuality (versus the crowd) is retained and to what extent we throw off manipulated illusions. The more we are immersed into the mass mind (the crowd), the more we are manipulated and the more dependent on authority (government) we become. Every thrust of this nebulous thing called society is calculated to drive us into the dependent, mindless herd with automatic response to authority."     https://boblivingstonletter.com/alerts/do-we-suffer-from-a-mental-incarceration/

Don't know if any of this is true but if it is then "Lord Help Us".   https://realconservativesunite.com/2019/10/03/bombshell-in-the-making-did-adam-schiff-pull-a-jussie-smollett-and-fabricate-the-existence-of-the-whistleblower/

This presents a most troubling picture of the ongoing Whistleblower debacle.  Quote: "Federal records indicate that the intelligence community secretly made changes to the formal whistleblower complaint form in August 2019 that eliminated the requirement of direct, first-hand knowledge of wrongdoing by those filing a formal complaint. Since the intelligence community secretly eliminated this requirement of direct, first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoings, this change raises concerns about the recent submission of a whistleblower complaint against President Trump, which is the supposed basis for impeachment talks. The recently edited version of the whistleblower complaint form eliminates the original first-hand knowledge requirement and allows employees to file a whistleblower complaint and have their concerns expedited to Congress even if they have no direct knowledge. It even allows them to file a complaint if they simply “heard about [wrongdoing] from others.”   https://www.conservativezone.com/articles/how-the-u-s-intel-community-secretly-revised-whistleblower-standards/     Since all other efforts have failed to remove Trump from office it could well be this is a deliberate act by deep state actors and their political partners in crime the Democrat party and the mainstream media to close the deal. If so, the sad state of affairs we are now in could well result in the demise of our Federal Republic.

Improprieties by the infamous Whistleblower could well get him as well as Schiff and members of his staff in trouble.  Quote: "Legal experts say this may be big trouble for the whistleblower — and Schiff. Complaints filed to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) are legally protected. However, sharing classified information with Congressional staffers is illegal. “The law does not provide any protections to employees or contractors who bypass the process required by law and go directly to Congress, nor does it provide any avenue to disclose classified information to Congress without first going through the ICIG,” The Federalist reported. “If the complainant or a colleague leaked classified information to Schiff or his committee, those individuals could be subject to criminal liability for illegal and unauthorized disclosure of classified information.”    https://thehornnews.com/whistleblower-collusion-bombshell-changes-everything/

This item provides details as to the legal troubles Adam Schiff could be facing if he engaged in any of these activities with the whistleblower. Quote: "Disturbing new facts emerged this week on the Trump-Ukraine ‘scandal’ that perhaps reveal the true conspiracy behind the issue. It turns out that the ‘whistleblower’ was in contact with Adam Schiff’s office BEFORE he/she filed the complaint. This opens the specter of obstruction of justice, fraud and treason and much more."    http://punchingbagpost.com/2019/10/04/arrest-adam-schiff-now/

The frantic Democrats have boxed themselves in with the mantra that "No One Is Above The Law."  They need to take a hard look at their vast array chargeable offences.  Those that are not criminal are certainly grossly unethical.  Quote: "The Constitution says a president "shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." There has been a very long debate on what that means. To lay ears, it sounds like the president must be shown to have committed a crime to be impeached and removed from office. But the framers did not define "high crimes and misdemeanors," and it is up to Congress to decide whether a president should be impeached, and, if so, on what grounds. So far, Democrats have not helped their cause by accusing Trump of criminal behavior. "No man is above the law" sounds good, but it requires the impeachers to make a case that the president did, indeed, break the law. In coming days, look for Democrats to seek an easier route."   https://townhall.com/columnists/byronyork/2019/10/02/no-one-is-above-the-law-rallying-cry-could-backfire-on-democrats-n2553999?

Jason Chaffetz makes a really good point.  He says Trump's openness and transparency is messing with the Democrats fake narratives.  Quote: "Having been on the House Oversight Committee during the duration of the Obama presidency, I can attest that the administration fought every document request every time, releasing only the bare minimum.  No excuse was too thin to withhold documents or testimony. In contrast, President Trump did the unthinkable:  he actually waived both executive privilege and attorney-client privilege for the Mueller investigation.  What other president would allow his general counsel to be interviewed for more than 30 hours? Donald Trump does. He should be winning awards for his openness and transparency. We've never seen anything like it before.  And it's messing with the Democrats' narrative. This time, once again, the script hasn't gone according to plan. Before Schumer could type his 140 characters to ask what the president was hiding in the Ukraine whistleblower complaint, the transcript and the memo were declassified for all to read. We know what comes next.  There will be more whistleblowers with more claims that cannot be definitively verified.  They will all be afraid to come out in the open for fear of their lives, or fear of flying, or fear of retaliation.  Until the Democrats need to use them and foeget them, as they did to Ford's still-unverified allegations and to Schiff's now-debunked memo.  Americans are not fooled.  By now most of us have heard the message loud and clear. Rep. Al Green told us exactly what it was about when he told MSNBC in May, "I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will get re-elected."    https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/jason-chaffetz-trump-transparency-left-nuts-impeachment

Hillary continues to make life miserable for 130 of her former staff members in the State Department. Investigation of her multiple private server crimes are coming home to roost.  Quote: "For Republicans, the Hillary Clinton email scandal is a political gift that keeps on giving. For Democrats, however, it’s an ongoing headache that shows no signs of subsiding years after the scandal first emerged. Clinton’s use of an unsecured, private email server during her time as secretary of state was a hot-button issue during the 2016 election and played an undeniable role in her defeat. According to The Washington Post, some 130 government officials from the Obama era have now been contacted after it was discovered that they sent messages — some were sensitive or classified — to the infamous unsecured Clinton server."     https://www.westernjournal.com/dems-investigate-trump-state-dept-hits-130-hillary-connected-officials-security-violation-warning/?
