This is a very informative piece.  Strongly suggest reading. Title: "This Is How Tyranny Rises and Freedom Falls: The Experiment in Freedom Is Failing."  Quote: "It is easy to be distracted right now by the circus politics that have dominated the news headlines for the past year, but don’t be distracted. Don’t be fooled, not even a little. We’re being subjected to the oldest con game in the books, the magician’s sleight of hand that keeps you focused on the shell game in front of you while your wallet is being picked clean by ruffians in your midst. This is how tyranny rises and freedom falls. What characterizes American government today is not so much dysfunctional politics as it is ruthlessly contrived governance carried out behind the entertaining, distracting and disingenuous curtain of political theater. And what political theater it is, diabolically Shakespearean at times, full of sound and fury, yet in the end, signifying nothing. We are being ruled by a government of scoundrels, spies, thugs, thieves, gangsters, ruffians, rapists, extortionists, bounty hunters, battle-ready warriors and cold-blooded killers who communicate using a language of force and oppression. The U.S. government now poses the greatest threat to our freedoms."  And, "As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, you cannot have a republican form of government—nor a democratic one, for that matter—when the government views itself as superior to the citizenry, when it no longer operates for the benefit of the people, when the people are no longer able to peacefully reform their government, when government officials cease to act like public servants, when elected officials no longer represent the will of the people, when the government routinely violates the rights of the people and perpetrates more violence against the citizenry than the criminal class, when government spending is unaccountable and unaccounted for, when the judiciary act as courts of order rather than justice, and when the government is no longer bound by the laws of the Constitution."    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/10/17/this-is-how-tyranny-rises-and-freedom-falls-the-experiment-in-freedom-is-failing/ 

This item addresses the horrendous consequences of government bad management of our national forests at the behest of radical leftist environmentalists. Quote: "Many successful methods of mitigating wildfires employed by U.S. Forest Service in the early 20th century were abandoned largely because of efforts by environmental activists, argued Rep. Tom Clintock on the House floor Oct. 3. McClintock, the Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal reported, contends 1970s laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act in particular have led to poor forest management. Like the reporting you see here? Sign up for free news alerts from WND.com, America’s independent news network. The congressman said the laws “have resulted in endlessly time-consuming and cost-prohibitive restrictions and requirements that have made the scientific management of our forests virtually impossible.” More than a dozen wildfires in Northern California’s wine country have burned hundreds of thousands of acres, killing dozens of people with hundreds more missing. In addition, thousands of homes and businesses have been destroyed. In a May congressional hearing, McClintock argued that 45 years ago, the U.S. began “imposing laws that have made the management of our forests all but impossible.”Private landowners clearly have done a better job of managing forests, he insisted.   http://www.wnd.com/2017/10/mega-wildfires-caused-by-bad-government-management/9

What does free speech mean anyway?  Quote: "America cannot  have an intelligent conversation about anything because no one agrees on the basic meaning of words.  People will keep talking in circles as long as the media convinces them that they can simultaneously believe two contradictory ideas. An environment now exists where people will just say and believe whatever they think will get them in the least trouble with social enforcers all around them. No one will grow intellectually when the media tells them to use their emotions to decide on issues. How can you make informed decisions when you can’t even comprehend an argument? And that is double-plus ungood."     https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/10/16/free-speech-and-the-idiocy-of-too-many-americans/

This is most disturbing if this reporting proves to be true.  Quote:  "The DEA and Justice Department have denied or delayed more than a dozen requests filed by The Post and ’60 Minutes’ under the Freedom of Information Act for public records that might shed additional light on the matter,” says the Post. When the Washington Post attempted to interview Rep. Tom Marino, his staff called the Capitol Police as a warning to reporters. Blocked at every turn, the Post says it is now suing the DOJ for documents that should have been released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In other words, the Washington Post, a pro big-government paper that almost universally believes government can do no wrong, is suddenly finding out just how corrupt, incompetent and dangerous a government racket can truly become. When big pharma’s billions of dollars get funneled into the pockets of greedy Washington lawmakers, the health of the entire nation is put at risk while powerful corporations are granted a kind of “legal immunity” while dealing dangerous drugs  And, Once you fully grasp the depth of collusion between the opioid drug cartels, Congress and the DEA, it’s not difficult to figure out why they’ve all conspired to keep medical marijuana, CBD and hemp extracts illegal at the federal level. The protection racket requires anything that competes with prescription opioids to be criminalized.  It’s all about limiting consumers’ options and funneling them into a life of personal addiction and Big Pharma profits. As long as the money keeps rolling in, federal workers will keep taking jobs with the drug industry, exploiting their contacts and influence in Washington to keep their toxic, deadly drugs flowing into the hands of vulnerable Americans. At the same time, every effort will be undertaken to keep medical marijuana illegal, thereby denying citizens and veterans an affordable, safe and highly effective option for pain control.  It has taken until 2017 for the mainstream media to finally admit all this is happening. The deep state collusion and conspiracy is now finally being covered by the Washington Post and 60 Minutes. Just remember that Natural News warned America about all this a decade ago and was ridiculed for believing in “conspiracy theories.”   Suddenly, it seems, the narco-pharma-government industrial complex is no longer a “theory.” It’s a business model for corporate America.   https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-10-16-washington-post-u-s-congress-engineered-dea-racket-to-protect-big-pharmas-opioid-drug-giants.html   This is particularly disturbing to us since Tom Marino is our elected representative.  I have sent him an email requesting a full explanation.

The evidence of the rank illegality rampant in the Obama administration continues to mount. Quote: "According to a report Tuesday in The Hill, a controversial Obama administration decision in 2010 to approve a deal that gave a Russian company control of 20 percent of the United States’ uranium supply came through, despite an FBI investigation at the time that showed “substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States.” A confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry made secret recordings and amassed emails going back as early as 2009 that showed Moscow bribed an American uranium trucking firm with kickbacks, violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, according to The Hill. This goes back to 2010, when then-Secretary of State Clinton, along with then-Attorney General Eric Holder, joined the Committee on Foreign Investment that approved the purchase of the Canadian mining company Uranium One to the Russian firm of Rosatom. The deal would give the Russian state-owned Rosatom control over a large amount of American uranium. Federal agents gathered evidence that included recordings and emails that go back as early as 2009 showing Moscow bribed the trucking firm. The Obama Justice Department dragged its feet and investigated the matter for years rather than bring swift justice."     https://conservativetribune.com/russian-scandal-hillary-holder/?

Here is another example of Obama's law breaking...wonder how many more examples will be forth coming.  Quote: "The Obamacare subsidies worked out nicely for the Democrats.  On the one hand, they got to bash Wall Street and the insurance companies.  On the other hand, they got to tell people that Obamacare would take care of their illnesses. It was great but illegal. The "subsidies" were never part of Obamacare.  My guess is that most liberals wanted no part of a vote that gave billions of dollars to the insurance industry. Enter President Obama's pen and another excursion around the U.S. Constitution." http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/10/another_episode_of_obamas_disregard_for_the_law.html

The Harvey Weinstein folly's are just the tip of the iceberg.  This item, I think rightly, suggests in one form or another this just a symptom of a widespread problem within the elite ranks of our country.  Quote: "Every American has a simple but profound choice. Either place your integrity above all else, and refuse to climb the putrid pyramid of wealth and power, or succumb to greed and become complicit in an empire of greed, complicity and corruption.  If "success" means a fat salary, points of gross, invitations to A-list parties, access to the inner circle, being the right-hand boy/girl of someone powerful, a seat on the private jet, etc., then you will be required to service the ga  ekeepers and sacrifice whatever integrity you once possessed.  If integrity means more than any of these baubles, then prepare to fail. You won't clamber up the putrid pyramid, you won't get past the gatekeepers, and you won't be invited to join the elite skimming the nation's wealth for its own gratification and greed.  But you will still have yourself, your pride, and your integrity.  It's not an easy choice. Choose wisely. As Orwell observed about a totalitarian oligarchy, some are more equal than others. But the sacrifices required to become more equal than the bottom 99.5% are irrevocable--you will have to sacrifice everything but your greed, your appetite for corruption and your willingness to hide the truth from the outside world. True success lies outside the empire of greed, complicity and corruption.    http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-united-states-of-weinstein.html

The unsavory things that the Clinton's do that get them in trouble.  Quote: "As previously reported by Western Journalism, a group of 64 House Republicans signed a letter last summer calling on the FBI, the IRS and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate alleged criminal conduct in regards to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. The letter highlighted an appearance of “pay for play” regarding the sale of Uranium One, that raises “serious allegations of criminal conduct requiring further explanation.” As previously reported by Western Journalism, a group of 64 House Republicans signed a letter last summer calling on the FBI, the IRS and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate alleged criminal conduct in regards to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. The letter highlighted an appearance of “pay for play” regarding the sale of Uranium One, that raises “serious allegations of criminal conduct requiring further explanation.” The lawmakers cited the evidence presented in Peter Schweizer’s 2015 book, Clinton Cash, including payments former President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation received from Russian interests, as further backing for their call for further investigation. Ian Tefler, the CEO of Uranium One, donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton received $500,000 dollars for a speech he gave in Moscow from a company promoting Uranium One, The New York Times reported."    https://www.westernjournalism.com/fbi-had-evidence-russia-bribed-clinton-foundation-before-obama-approved-uranium-deal/?  More.  http://dailycaller.com/2017/10/17/report-fbi-sat-on-evidence-tying-the-clintons-to-a-russians-bribery-scheme/    There can be little doubt with this information at hand that Comey and the Clinton's colluded in order to cover up their crime so she could become president.  If she had become president the facts would have remained buried.

Things to Think About 2

Hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy...  Praise, adulations, thanks for everything celebrities laud Harvey Weinstein. Quote : "In a compilation video produced by Quartz, a slew of actors and actresses can be seen getting emotional while thanking Weinstein for their Oscar win. Some of the stars include Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Penélope Cruz, Renée Zellweger, Michael Caine, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who has since alleged that she was harassed by of the producer when she was younger. http://www.dailywire.com/news/22290/compilation-video-endless-celebs-thank-harvey-amanda-prestigiacomo?    We cannot believe anything people who lie like this have to say.  Their instructions, insights and wisdom for rest of us should fall on deaf ears.

It gets worse.  You cannot tell me that this is what any sane parent would do to promote sexual perversion, much less a former President and his wife Michele.  But...  Quote: "It happened at the Obama library for the “Drag Queen Story Hour,” a part of a collaboration between the LBPL, the LGBTQ Center of Long Beach, the Genders and Sexualities Alliance Network and the LGBTQ nonprofit Imperial Court of Long Beach, according to the Long Beach Public Library’s calendar. And, "DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real,” the DQSH website reads. “DQSH happens regularly in LA, New York, and San Francisco, and events are popping up all over the world!”  The city of Long Beach, which is located in the district of Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., also promoted the event, using a graphic that is clearly targeted toward young children."  http://www.wnd.com/2017/10/drag-queen-demon-reads-to-kids-at-michelle-obama-library/    Promoting sexual perversion to small children is not a healthy or wholesome program but it happened with the Obama administration throughout his term in office. His sick agenda continues.

Things to Think About 1

These first two items were prepared before the recent exposures of the decadence of Hollywood illustrated by Harvey Weinstein's long standing disgusting/illegal behavior. But that exposure and other relevant facts add to the scope of corruption.

Several past items have remarked about the decadence of Hollywood and their love of their egotistical selves.  They displayed all of their arrogance and self righteousness during the recent Emmy's. By their irrational antics they are in serious jeopardy of destroying themselves and their industry.  Quote: "The Emmy awards program was an outsized testament to their self-love and to their contempt for all those who do not live by their mindless devotion to the ideology of the anti-American left.  They all believe they are unique, special and gifted.  Some of them are talented but talent does not always  come with brains or a moral compass.  Those who graced the stage at the Emmys were the worst of the worst:  Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alec Baldwin, Kate McKinnon, etc.  It is a long list of arrogant, elitist snobs who have ruined the television and film industries with their politicization of entertainment and endless self-aggrandizement.  The program was a three-hour roast of Donald Trump, which made him the actual star of the show.   The jokes were not amusing.  They were vile.  These people demeaned themselves as did the cheering audience.  Had one person said just one such thing about Obama when he was in office, this bunch would still be talking about how offended they were.  They live by very different rules than what they attempt to impose on the rest of us.  Do they actually believe their vitriol will convert Trump supporters to their side by insulting them a hundred times over and over?  Do they think we care an iota about what they think?  Who knows?  They are so self-absorbed, it is hard to imagine them considering anyone or anything beyond themselves. Almost every single person who received an Emmy insulted Trump and his supporters.  They made it clear that segregation is the order of the day.  Issa Rae openly admitted she was rooting for black people to win.  She does not care about talent or performance, only skin color.  Martin Luther King, Jr. is rolling over in his sainted grave." http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/09/how_do_you_solve_a_problem_like_hollywood.html   If that piece is not bad enough, maybe this one will be.  Quote: "One by one, quite a few Hollywood geniuses managed to get their licks in on Trump hate, racism and how wonderful the entertainment industry is. Hollywood's one-trick pony, Stephen Colbert, anti-Trump all the time, says that in the Emmys, the popular vote wins. There are only 21,000 eligible voters for the Emmys (and I wonder how many actually vote). If the popular vote actually won, shows with the highest ratings would actually win. NCIS, Bull, Big Bang Theory and other highly rated shows aren’t even nominated. Instead we get repeat winners from shows most of us have never seen. I believe the poor and lower middle class are absolutely oppressed because almost all nominations are for channels that cost extra money. Maybe someone should point out to Colbert that Trump won 30 out of 50 states and almost 90% of counties. If not for the big cities where Democrats have done their best to oppress minorities and make them dependent on government Trump would have won the popular vote by a landslide. The founding fathers knew that you had to give all states a stake in the elections, not just states with large populations, which is why we have the Electoral College. I would think minorities and especially gays and transgenders would be thankful that the majority doesn’t always rule.    http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/09/at_the_emmys_hollywoods_eminentos_make_fools_of_themselves.html   These people and their loathsome products need to be boycotted. They also need to be taught a lesson that they are not who they think they are. They are in fact very close to being the scum of the earth.  They and their overbearing self righteous arrogance is a very real problem for this country. Shows on TV that promote them and their products should be boycotted. 

Here is one more short piece on the terrible fiasco called the Emmy's.  Quote: "Is it really any wonder that, much like ratings for the NFL, ratings for the Emmys keep falling lower every year? Nobody, save for the most harebrained leftist loons, wants to be lectured by a bunch of hoity-toity, hypocritical Hollywood elitists preaching from their ivory towers in Hollywood. And until these California fat cats quit it with their sanctimonious, “holier than thou” drivel, it’s very likely their ratings will continue plummeting like a meteorite."   https://conservativetribune.com/emmy-awards-massive-bad-news/?   

If you don't think Hollywood and the Democrat party are not linked at the hip you have not been paying attention.  The past eight years of Obama brings home the point.  Quote: "Last year at the 89th Annual Academy Awards, then-Vice President Joe Biden walked on stage to a standing ovation to introduce Lady Gaga. He gave a passionate speech on the topic of campus sexual assault, about the need to speak up and “intervene in situations when consent has not or cannot be given.” In 2013, Michelle Obama appeared at the Oscars via satellite from the White House decked in full evening gown and flanked by U.S. military service members to announce the winner of the best picture Oscar, which just so happened to go to director Ben Affleck’s “Argo.”  hese are just two of the most prominent examples of how closely the Obama administration – and with it, the Democratic Party – has been tied to Hollywood, using them as messengers to push their agenda out to the mass public."    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/10/16/jones-on-las-vegas/   This type of behavior displays gross ethical violations resident within both the Democrat party and Hollywood elites.  California Democrats are totally insane.   http://www.libertyheadlines.com/california-becomes-first-state-legally-recognize-third-gender/?

Yes, they are or at least while Obama was in office linked at the hip.  Quote: "Min recalled attending the $400,000 speech Barack Obama made as an ex-president to an A&E Networks advertising upfront at the Pierre hotel in New York in April.  “Afterwards, amid rapturous applause, he walks right over to Harvey Weinstein and gives Harvey a hug,” Min said. “You can see the optics of it all. It makes your head explode if you think of the inability to explode the male network.”    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/14/opinion/sunday/harvey-weinstein-dowd-hollywood.html

By the way, the Clintons go way back with Harvey Weinstein. Quote: "n the midst of the scandal regarding the affair he had with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, former President Bill Clinton faced enormous legal fees. To help him out, Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein donated the maximum legal amount, $10,000 dollars, to Clinton’s legal fund, according to a Washington Post article published in 1998. Other Hollywood figures did the same, including Jeffrey Katzenberg, Tom Hanks, Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg."   https://www.westernjournalism.com/harvey-weinstein-gave-10000-to-help-bill-clinton-deal-with-monica-lewinsky/?   And,  https://conservativetribune.com/clinton-lewinsky-scandal-weinstein/?

If this political nimcapoop had a lick of sense she would keep her mouth shut.  She truly is a part of the problem facing our nation.  Has been for far too long.  This is just one of a long line of missteps over her long term in government.  Here's  what she had to say.  "Minority House Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other San Francisco leaders say a conservative rally planned in San Francisco for Saturday is a white supremacist rally, and want the National Park Service to reconsider the rally’s permit in the wake of the violence at Charlottesville.  “I am deeply alarmed by the hateful and dangerous nature of the event, its timing so soon after the horrors in Charlottesville, and the serious questions over whether the National Park Service is at all equipped to ensure public safety during a white supremacist rally,” said Pelosi in a statement. “The NPS should reevaluate its decision and its capacity to protect the public during such a toxic rally.”  Where was her outrage in response to repeated toxic actions taken by Black Lives Matter and Atifa members?  She is nothing but an empty head filled with hate for those who do not kow-tow to her seriously flawed political positions.     http://www.libertyheadlines.com/pelosi-wants-conservative-rally-san-fran-shut-despite-no-supremacists/? 

Since the communistic leaning radical left considers selected American history offensive, this item should be a lesson in history for those who are today sorely ignorant of it.  This statue of Lenin sits in New York City.  Do uninformed liberals think it should go, too?  The misguided masses have no understanding of what monuments are intended to do.  Destroy away!!!  You only expose your abject ignorance and disrespect for property you do not own.     https://www.teaparty.org/since-tearing-offensive-statues-3-communist-statues-america-259799/

This item points out just how uniformed idiot leftist thugs who tear down monuments really are.  They are not only uniformed they are truly bad and destructive people.  The problem is that the leadership of the corrupt Democrat party are egging them on for their own corrupt political purposes.  Totally disgusting.    http://eaglerising.com/46473/atlanta-rioters-thought-peace-monument-was-confederate-statue-destroy-it/  

How can anyone of sound mind support anyone associated with today's Democrat party?  This is just one of many dozens maybe even hundreds of insane outbursts coming out of the mouths of criminal minded Democrats.  Quote: "A Missouri state senator, Maria Chappelle-Nadal (D-University City), has landed herself in a bit of hot water with the U.S. Secret Service today after posting, then deleting, a comment on Facebook which read, “I hope Trump is assassinated!”   https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/18/democratic-missouri-senator-i-hope-trump-is-assassinated/   I am sorry to say this but evil is evil and this type behavior is evil.  It is a product of the long fought war perpetrated against our country's heritage by atheistic leftists and progressives.  Their efforts are now having serious consequences.   This misbehavior by blacks is a direct consequence of liberal policies of appeasement and both tacit and direct support of the killing of police.  This practice started under Obama who never condemned it. Neither did Hillary, Holder nor Lynch.   http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/6-officers-gunned-down-2-dead-4-wounded/   Can anyone explain why there is no outcry when events like these happen???   

It would behoove the political left to read and heed the words in this piece.  Quote: "No, Violent Leftist Gangs Fighting White Supremacists Aren't Heroes. They're Part Of The Problem."    http:/s/www.dailywire.com/news/19845/no-violent-leftist-gangs-fighting-white-ben-shapir 

This is an honest question.  Can anyone explain to me why so many blacks are racists?  I think I know the answer but just wondering.    http://conservativetribune.com/halle-berry-racist-school/   My thinking is that the political left has drilled them with black victimhood blather for so long that far too many believe it.  My own experience growing up and playing basketball with blacks as a kid and working with, for and supervising blacks as an adult suggested that things were improving until Obama and his first Attorney General Eric Holder came along and reignited the whole black victimhood mantra. While in college in the mid 60's I along with two white guys and one black guy once ventured across the country together. We had no problems along the way.  Now however it is the official doctrine of the political left to reinforce black victimhood status every chance they get.  All that does is make matters worse.  But then again making matters worse is what the political left is all about and unfortunately they are really good at it.   

This is another item the political left needs to give serious thought to.   Quote: "Two hundred years ago the vast majority of the world's population lived in extreme poverty.  Thanks to free markets, industry and, yes, important energy sources like fossil fuels and nuclear power, today only around 10% live in extreme poverty … and the situation is getting better every day.  Must life in the future be "poor, nasty, brutish and short?"  Of course not!  But we had best do all we can to prevent climate campaigners from achieving their goals … or we may just get there."    http://mailchi.mp/cfact/energy-povery-utopia?

Want to see a glimpse of Democrat politicians making a complete fool of themselves read this piece.  These people are so hateful they want to impeach Trump for not saying something fast enough.  Think about how stupid these people look.  Obama never, ever condemned Black Lives Matter for murdering white police officers.  Instead, he invited them to the White House a reported 40 times while in office.  If anyone should have been impeached it would be Obama for his multiple crimes and misdemeanors.   Where were the Oh So Concerned Socialist Democrats then?   Their vitriolic hatred of Trump will not get them to heaven.  It seems like many Democrats and even some RINO's have turned into rabid animals. Their behavior is totally irrational.  https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/18/charles-barkley-has-a-thing-or-two-to-say-about-all-this-statue-busting-and-antifa-is-not-going-to-like-it/

The majority of Democrat voters are found in urban centers.  Democrats are in political control of most of them and have been for a long time.  Yet, most of them are failing.  As this piece details if they want to have any chance of surviving long term they must retain control of urban centers.  But they face a real dilemma.  This piece explains.  Quote: "During his presidential campaign, Trump vowed to The Hill to bring prosperity and safety back to America's inner-city communities.  President Trump has already started to deliver on this campaign promise.  He has begun, inter alia, with an effort to reduce crime in the cities by expelling the illegal aliens who are responsible for so much crime.  His administration's efforts have already resulted in some cities abandoning their lawless "sanctuary" policies, for example Miami-Dade.

The Democrats are resisting, as they must.  The Democratic mayor of Chicago is suing to keep in place Chicago's policy of shielding criminal aliens.  Other big-city Democratic mayors are doing the same. If the citizens of America's big cities should begin to see that crime is going down, that jobs are returning, that schools are improving, all due to President Trump's and the Republicans' policies, it would be a disaster for the Democratic Party.  The Democrats cannot allow this to happen.  For this reason, the Democrats are resisting fiercely any policy of the Republicans that will improve life in the inner cities.  Therefore, when you read about crime committed by an illegal alien, you are reading about the results of deliberate Democratic Party policy.  Example: With a history of arrests and at least 20 deportations, an illegal alien was released by Portland, Oregon authorities in defiance of a federal immigration hold, whereupon he is alleged to have attacked and sexually assaulted two women.  It is an existential necessity for the Democrats that life in the cities must not improve while President Trump is in office.  Thus, the Democrats' resistance to and obstruction of the administration's efforts to restore law and order in the cities.  Obstruct safe streets.  Resist jobs.  Oppose prosperity.  Impeach Trump.  Resist jobs.  Obstruct better schools.  Resist, obstruct, resist, Russia...Russia...Russia..."    http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/08/understanding_democrat_strategy_in_the_cities.html    The fear of becoming irrelevant and failure to establish their socialist utopia are two parts of what is driving Democrats mad.  Hence, their destructive and totally irresponsible behavior is necessary to deflect attention away from their multitudes of abject political failures and serious misadventures.  

We will have to wait and see if this prediction comes true.  It does seem like the tide is turning but we need to wait and see.    http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/bannons-exit-means-obama-wins-3rd-term/   National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster is likely responsible for Bannon's departure from the White House.  The reasons for his apparent power and influence are hard to gauge.  But one thing seems certain.  He is altering the campaign message of Trump and turning his agenda into a more conventional one - the very type Trump ran against.  There is also a McMaster connection to socialist billionaire George Soros.  Quote: If the Israeli accusations about Soros and McMaster are indeed the case, McMaster’s actions should be considered virtually treasonous, as Soros is a sworn enemy of Trump and was one of the biggest supporters of Democrat Hillary Clinton in the election of 2016. Soros’ globalism, combined with his history of toppling governments in at least 10 countries places him diametrically opposite everything President Trump stands for. It’s known that McMaster was in the past a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), which received funding from Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) umbrella group as well as other Soros-affiliated organizations."

The Democrats hatred of Trump is clearly out of hand.  They are now pledging to interfere with approval of presidential appointees.  Democrats along with their media allies are now claiming but offering no evidence that he is mentally unstable and unfit for the office.  My take on that nonsense is the they are clearly unstable given their obvious and constant stream of irrational and irresponsible behavior.    http://www.westernjournalism.com/schumer-calls-on-trump-to-withdraw-nominee-for-birther-views/?   This is an example of leftist media insanity.    https://thehornnews.com/cnns-don-lemon-goes-insane-rant-said/ 

Dr. Ben Carson is by all accounts a decent man bent on doing good for all people.  Yet he has been the victim of leftist hate.  Read how he has dealt with the ugliness of the left. The decency and goodness he exudes cannot be found anywhere within the ranks of the socialistic Democrat cabal.   http://eaglerising.com/46449/ben-carsons-home-vandalized-with-hateful-rhetoric-about-trump-guess-who/   

This item provides a peek inside the thinking of the political left.  It is not a good thing to behold.   Quote: "The liberal/progressive/left are enjoying their drunkfest of denunciation. I can’t say I have ever witnessed anything like it. These are the people who sat on their hands for 16 years while Washington destroyed in whole or part seven countries. Not being satisfied with this level of warmongering and crimes against humanity, Washington orchestrated a conflict situation with Russia. Americans elected a president who said he would defuse this dangerous conflict, and the liberal/progressive/left turned on him. In contrast, one person is killed after the hated Charlottesville protest event was over, and there is endless absurd outrage against the president of the US."  And, "Note: Virginia governor McAuliffe made false claims that were spread around the world by the presstitutes that the white nationalists had weapons caches and that the Virginia police were outgunned by the supremacists. Reason.com reports that the police have contradicted the moronic governor with the statement that no such weapons caches were found."   Governor McAuliffe is a prime example of the rank dishonesty and hate filled disposition of our nation's Democrat party which is really a criminal socialist enterprise bent on destroying our country.    http://reason.com/blog/2017/08/16/virginia-state-police-say-they-didnt-fin  

The Walmart CEO does a good thing.  More top business leaders, politicians, media types, academics and American citizens across all political, social, economic, ethnic, racial and religious boundaries.     http://www.westernjournalism.com/walmart-ceo-chides-trump-promises-stay-engaged/? 

This guy a former TV show host and pseudo intellectual has no idea how stupid his comment is.  He clearly has bought the big lie liberals have long hawked and seemingly convinced many that that is true.  It is not true, never has been true.  The truth is that the political right are fascists and Nazis.  Anyone who knows even a little bit of history knows that both Nazism and Fascism are socialist cousins of communism.  The American Democrat party and progressives are also socialist family members.    http://eaglerising.com/46528/former-daily-show-host-concludes-everyone-who-is-a-nazi-seems-to-like-trump/   I don't know if he knows how stupidly wrong is assertion is.  Because he is a left winger he may well know the truth but goes along to get along with his left wing socialist buddies. 

How can loyal American citizens condone obvious efforts by elite socialist Democrats to shut down free speech?  They are behaving in typical tyrannical fascist manner which represents the current philosophy of the misnamed Democrat party.   http://patrioticviralnews.com/articles/youtube-tries-to-shut-down-popular-african-american-duo-who-supports-trump/    They do no condone any violation of their established speech code.  Typical tyrannical behavior. 

Congress needs to plant this Obamacare failure squarely on the backs of Democrats who alone planted this monstrosity on American soil.  Obamacare is an abject failure and needs to be repealed now before it totally collapses the healthcare system. https://www.conventionofstates.com/obamacare_nightmare_spreads_to_iowa?

This is what socialist Democrats and billionaires are purposely doing to the United States. Quote: "It seemed like such a good idea at the time. When Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in 1999, he wanted to make the Venezuelan people more equal. But the late president’s socialist policies ended up turning a modern, fairly wealthy country into a Third World wreck.  Today the country is broke, with a near-worthless currency. Severe shortages have forced the government to ration food and electricity. The average Venezuelan has lost 19 pounds over the past year due to starvation. Things have gotten so bad that some starving Venezuelans have stolen and eaten zoo animals. Angry residents have rioted in the streets against the hapless government of President Nicolas Maduro. In the end, Chavez achieved his goal of making the people “equal,” noted William J. Murray, chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition. “Now they’re all equal – they are miserably poor and starving to death!” Murray quipped during a recent interview on The Hagmann Report. Murray pointed out Venezuela has stumbled to the brink of collapse despite having the world’s largest-known oil reserves. By contrast, Saudi Arabia, the country with the world’s second-largest oil reserves, is awash in oil wealth, enjoying its status as a regional power with a G-20 economy."  And, "Utopianism has manifested itself in many forms, according to Murray. People often look at Hitler and Stalin as opposites – the right-wing fascist dictator versus the left-wing communist dictator. However, in reality, they were two sides of the same coin. “They were exactly the same thing,” Murray insisted. “They both envisioned a small group of people coming together being able to establish a utopian society for their people and ultimately the whole world. The only difference between the radical communism of the Soviet Union and Josef Stalin and the National Socialism of Adolf Hitler was the means to get there and what you called it.”  And, "Murray said the nation’s D.C. elite are much wealthier than most Americans, so it’s easy for them to forget plenty of Americans – even white men – are denied jobs because of race, gender or education level. Murray acknowledged there is a firm basis for white men’s grievances: affirmative action has led to the hiring of more female and minority job candidates at the expense of white men. “That is part of the cultural utopianism, the cultural Marxism, where people are not allowed to compete based on their abilities, that all kinds of other markers are thrown in there in order to make it a more just society,” Murray explained."    http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/billionaire-class-leading-u-s-down-utopian-road-to-hell/ 

The smug self righteousness and abject hypocrisy of icons of the political left Democrat party is a thing to behold.  They seeming proudly display their utter ignorance of the outrageous and disgraceful history of their own party which is filled with corruption, collusion, lack of ethics and outright illegality.  Previous items offer insights.  This one extends the coverage and will likely surprise many.  Quote: "Governor Andrew Cuomo has written a letter to the Acting Secretary of the Army asking that the names of two streets in Fort Hamilton Army Base in Brooklyn be removed. The two streets are named in honor of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson. Said the governor in his letter:  Renaming these streets will send a clear message that in New York, we stand against intolerance and racism, whether it be insidious and hidden or obvious and intentional.  Not to be outdone by his fellow Democrat, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has ordered a 90-day review of “all symbols of hate on city property.”  Fair enough. So what about all those New York tributes to Franklin D. Roosevelt dotting both New York City and New York State? FDR being both Cuomo’s predecessor as governor of New York from 1928 to 1932 and, famously, the longest serving president in American history?  With all the perpetual denunciations of the Ku Klux Klan from all sides — yes, including President Trump multiples of multiples of times — alas the historical record reveals that it was no less than New York’s own FDR who had a serious love-affair with the Klan." And, "The Ku Klux Klan, described by Columbia University historian Eric Foner in his book Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877 as “a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party,” served FDR as well — not to mention the Klansman FDR placed on the Supreme Court. The latter a position Black would eventually use to lead the Court’s six Roosevelt appointees in validating FDR’s infamous 1942 race-based Executive Order 9066 that launched the internment of Japanese-Americans into internment camps."  And, "   More disgusting Democrat history truths are covered.    https://spectator.org/cuomo-and-de-blasio-ignore-klan-ally-fdr/? 

Based on previous items it should be clear that the Democrats are neither a respectable nor responsible lot.  This item extends the discussion by adding even more fodder to the fire.  It is aptly titled:  "Democrats Should Think Carefully Before Casting the First Stone"    https://spectator.org/democrats-should-think-carefully-before-casting-the-first-stone/   I have said it before and will again.  This woman is an egomaniac with absolutely no sense of decency or responsibility.  She has long been a bad elected official more concerned with image and popularity than with doing anything good.  Bottom line: she is nothing but a party hack loyal only to socialist Democrat nonsense.   This next piece provides a good accounting of  how irresponsible, unethical and insane she is.   http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/which-statues-pelosi-wants-out-of-capitol/   This should convince most sane people that the political left, progressives, liberals and Democrats have gone totally bonkers.  They are no longer rational in any sense of the word. https://www.teaparty.org/alert-liberals-now-want-blow-famous-national-monument-260087/   Hate, destruction and chaos are the only things they seem to believe in.   It gets worse.  Democrat have long supported Black Lives Matter and Antifa.  Even former VP candidate Tim Caine's son joined Antifa which was recently declared by the FBI and HLS to be a terrorist organization.  Once the announcement became public Democrats previously silent or tacitly supporting them because they were attacking conservative groups and activities Democrat politicians suddenly made their way to the nearest microphones and cameras to denounce the group.  How about this Hollywood type.  He thinks only he and people like him are worthy...everybody else with a descending opinion can got to...well you know where.  http://www.wnd.com/2017/09/hulk-actor-wants-rush-limbaugh-tossed-to-hurricane/    Anther elitist Hollywood type displays her terribly egotistical, self righteous, misinformed and irreverent behavior. https://conservativetribune.com/spoiled-actress-sick-comment/?      Hypocrites all.
