The Left can be bothered with the facts and will take anything Trump says out of context and report on it anyway they see fit. Here is an example:

“Vandalia, Ohio – Former President Donald Trump vowed on Saturday that there would be a “bloodbath” if he’s not re-elected in November’s” CNN, NYTIMES, CBS News and NPR all did the same. Is this what we have to listen too till November, Believe nothing you read or hear, and only half of what you see. Find a factual source before you make up your mind.
The Trump Campaign response
“If you actually watch and listen to the section, he was talking about the auto industry and tariffs,” Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump’s campaign, told the Washington Post, adding that “Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and autoworkers.”
Transcript of speech:
Trump, March 16: China now is building a couple of massive plants where they’re going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they’re going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border. Let me tell you something to China, if you’re listening President Xi, and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans, and you’re going to sell the cars to us? No. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars. If I get elected. Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath, for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars.
Say hello to your next President. It has been widely speculated that Sleepy Joe would not last long as President. So he has been in office a little over a month. His memory lapses seem to be getting more frequent. A couple of days ago he could not remember his Sec. Of Defenses name. Last week he was giving an address online, he offered to take questions, his staff took him off the air.
Vice President Kamala Harris had another call with a foreign leader Tuesday, independent of President Biden.
Harris spoke with the prime minister of Norway, Erna Solberg, where Harris “affirmed her commitment to deepening the strong alliance between Norway and the United States.”
” The Vice President thanked the Prime Minister for Norway’s close security partnership with the United States and generous contributions to development and health security efforts around the world,” .
Harris previously took calls alone with French President Emanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, shortly after the president put in a call to the French and Canadian leaders himself.
“She will be seen by everyone as a potential president in waiting,” one European ambassador told Politico in February. “Much more than in previous presidencies.”
Joe’s border policy has him in turbulent waters, and it will get worse, some tough times ahead. How will Joe stand up, or more accurately how will he be propped up?
It has been clear to a number of people including me that Obama is the man behind the curtain. The actions behind the democrat party seem eerily familiar. Look at the bills Nancy and Chucky have been pushing through Congress, they tell the story. The community organizer is still in business. Obama was leading a shadow government for the last four years. Who had Kerry in Iran, playing games behind the Trump administration?
It is said that Obama convinced Joe to pick Kamala as his VP.
So as Joe declines and the media begin to pick up on it and start to pound the drums, guess who is next in line, Why it’s Kamala, or is it?
Uncle Joe has done it again. Another executive order, this time to further muddle elections.
In a push to get HR 1 passed in the Senate, Biden signed this executive order. Biden called it “urgently needed” to protect the right to vote and to “strengthen” democracy, and vowed to work with Congress to “refine and advance” the legislation. Here again, like a good liberal, he says one thing the does exactly the opposite. Election governance belongs to each States legislative assembly, not the federal government. Article 1 Section 4 of the Constitution States: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.
Here we have more evidence that Joe, Nancy, and Chucky could care less about the United States Constitution, for them it is all about corrupting elections to insure that clear auditable elections are impossible. That way votes can be manipulated with no transparency, insuring meaningless elections.
Joe’s order orders a the office of general Services to “to improve and modernize the federal voter registration website Vote.gov.” Un-auditable, un-testable, non-transparent software has no place within ten miles of any election activity. Activities, and manipulation can go on under the covers that no one knows about but the person who coded them into the fabric of the software being used.
Biden also honored civil rights icons C.T. Vivian, Joseph Lowery and Lewis, all of whom died last year.
“Architects of the ‘Beloved Community,’ they built not only with words but with action. And reminders that in our lifetime, for Black Americans, the fundamental right to vote has been denied by white supremacy hiding both behind white hoods and in plain sight in statehouses and courtrooms,” the president said. So Woke!
Biden’s executive order would also:
• Direct federal agencies to assist states with voter registration efforts under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
• Order the General Services Administration to improve and modernize the federal voter registration website Vote.gov.
• Order recommendations on leave for federal employees allowing them to vote or volunteer as nonpartisan poll workers
• Direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology to evaluate and publish recommendations on steps needed to ensure the online federal voter registration form is accessible to people with disabilities.
• Direct Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to establish procedures to annually offer each member of the armed forces the opportunity to register to vote in federal elections, update voter registration or request an absentee ballot.
• Direct the attorney general to establish procedures to provide educational materials on voter registration and voting for all eligible individuals in federal prisons or on probation by federal court.
• Establish a Native American voting rights steering group that will work with tribal organizations to identify best practices to protect voting rights of Native Americans
HR 1 is an attempt to take control of elections away from each state and place control at the federal level.
Article 1 Section 4 of the Constitution States: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof
If you will take a minute and read Federalist No. 59,( https://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/a1_4_1s13.html ) you will see the rational for why this clause is written this way. Basically it was to move the decisions for how Elections were run closest to the people of each state, and not have it controlled by on person or by the Federal Government.
HR1 passed the House on 3/4/21 and is headed to the Senate.
HR 1 if passed would:
Seize the authority of states to regulate voter registration and the voting process by forcing states to implement early voting, automatic voter registration, same-day registration, online voter registration, and no-fault absentee balloting.
Make it easier to commit fraud and promotes chaos at the polls through same-day registration, as election officials have no time to verify the accuracy of voter registration information and cannot anticipate the number of voters, ballots, and precinct workers that will be needed.
Hurt voter turnout through early voting by diffusing the intensity of get-out-the-vote efforts; it raises the cost of campaigns. Voters who vote early don’t have the same information as those who vote on Election Day, missing late-breaking developments that could affect their choices.
Degrade the accuracy of registration lists by automatically registering individuals from state databases, such as DMV and welfare offices, by registering large numbers of ineligible voters, including aliens as well as multiple or duplicate registrations of the same individuals.
Constitute a recipe for massive voter registration fraud by hackers and cyber criminals through online voter registration not tied to an existing state record, such as a driver’s license.
Require states to count ballots cast by voters outside of their assigned precinct, overriding the precinct system used by almost all states that allows election officials to monitor votes, staff polling places, provide enough ballots, and prevent election fraud. Mandates no-fault absentee ballots, which are the tool of choice for vote thieves.
Prevent election officials from checking the eligibility and qualifications of voters and remove ineligible voters. This includes restrictions on using the U.S. Postal Service’s national change-of-address system to verify the address of registered voters; participating in state programs that compare voter registration lists to detect individuals registered in multiple states; or ever removing registrants due to a failure to vote no matter how much time has gone by.
Cripple the effectiveness of state voter ID laws by allowing individuals to vote without an ID and merely signing a statement in which they claim they are who they say they are.
Violate the First Amendment and could cover a vast range of legal activity. Voter intimidation or coercion that prevents someone from registering or voting is already a federal crime under the Voting Rights Act and the National Voter Registration Act. But H.R. 1 adds an additional provision to prevent interference with registering or voting that is so vague that it could easily interfere with free speech and other lawful activity.
Expand regulation and government censorship of campaigns and political activity and speech, including online and policy-related speech. H.R. 1 imposes onerous legal and administrative compliance burdens and costs on candidates, citizens, civic groups, unions, corporations, and nonprofit organizations. Many of these provisions violate the First Amendment, protect incumbents, and reduce the accountability of politicians to the public.
Reduce the number of Federal Election Commission members from six to five, allowing the political party with three commission seats to control the commission and engage in partisan enforcement activities.
Prohibit state election officials from participating in federal elections and impose numerous other “ethics” rules that are unconstitutional or unfairly restrict political activity.
Require states to restore the ability of felons to vote the moment they are out of prison. Section 2 of the 14th Amendment gives states the constitutional authority to decide when felons who committed crimes against their fellow citizens may vote again. Congress cannot override a constitutional amendment with a statute.
Transfer the right to draw congressional districts from state legislatures to “independent” commissions whose members are unaccountable to voters. H.R. 1 makes it a violation of federal law to engage in “partisan” redistricting and mandates inclusion of alien population, both legal and illegal, in all redistricting. This is an anti-democratic, unconstitutional measure that takes away the ability of the citizens of a state to make their own decision about redistricting.
Violate separation of powers and directly interfere with the President’s constitutional duties. H.R. 1 bans his political appointees, such as the Attorney General, from participating in, directing the defense of, or assisting in any matter (including lawsuits against a President’s policies, programs, executive orders, or his enforcement of the law) in which the President is named as a party.
The cancel culture that we are seeing today is the equivalent of book burning.
Book burning has been going on for centurys, always for nefarious reasons. The one we related to in our time happened in 1933. In Berlin and anywhere else Nazi forces lead burning of thousands of books. “The old goes up in flames, the new shall be fashioned from the flame in our hearts”, So said Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
Today the Cancel Culture is burning any speech or ideas that do not fit their vision, they are using technology and our far left education system to do it.
Facebook and Twitter, filter out unwanted posts. Become a pain for them they just cancel you account and prevent you from even being present. Conservative voices are not allowed to speak on the majority of campuses across the continent, Students either pressure sponsoring groups to cancel speakers, or the block or otherwise disrupt to cancel out the event.
Our American History is being rewritten, history texts being modified. Childrens books are being banned Dr. Seuss did not survive.
The poet, philosopher and political theorist John Milton, wrote “Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as the soul was whose progeny they are” Milton further said “Anyone who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God’s image, but he who destroys a good book kills reason itself”.
Today we hear the word Intersectionality, White privilege, and Race, if you can’t see the world thru those lenses then you must be canceled.
From Dictionary.com.
Book Burning a noun
The destruction of writings of which the subject, the view of the author , or the like is considered politically or socially objectionable: USED AS A MEANS OF CENSORSHIP OR OPPRESSION.
If that is what you want, then let it happen. Just be prepared to live under a totalitarian government.
If you look at a map of the red states in this country, you will see that those states contain, Americas bread basket. Where wheat, corn, soy beans, and other grains are grown. They are also where most of the meat is raised.
So what if these food producers formed a mutual, and every one sold to the mutual, rather than directly to food manufactures. Meat processors had to buy form the mutual, rather than directly form the farm.
The mutual in turn would sell openly to foreign markets, where the end products were to be sold in foreign countries.. However, in the United States, it would only sell to manufactures and processors who could validate that the were not of a liberal bent. Meaning neither the company or it’s management where not contributors to liberal parties or candidates of more than 25% of there total political contributions and they did not support the liberal agenda. In turn those manufactures and processors would not be allowed to sell there goods to liberal retailers or other distributors who distributed to the end user. If they did they would be cut off. Thus meaning that only food available to consumers was passing through conservative leaning channels.
That would mean that companies like Ben and Jerry’s would not be able to buy raw materials to make ice cream. Companies like Costco, would find it difficult to fill there shelves.
As long as liberals have no regard for our first amendment right to free speech. Then the growers of America should have no regard for a liberals need for food. Let there liberal retailers shelves go bear. Turn the screws until it hurts. Oh, big tech, let there cafeteria’s go dry.
At the retail level if they can identify a shopper who is liberal refuse to sell to them. If a shopper wants to espouse liberal BS to a clerk, fine cut them off for good. If someone can identify an individual who contributed to a left candidate, fine cut them off.
Put together a group that does nothing by identify individuals and companies who lean left, and publish. They do it to us, we can do it to them.
It is time for conservatives to take a stand, and push back using the same methods and tactics that are being used against us.
When liberals are ready to stop class warfare, then we can talk, till then, game on.
You might laugh a bit at this, however a couple of friends from the Midwest tell me that this is being bantered around and getting louder.
There are a number of reasonable stimulus items in the $1.9T relief bill that now sits between the house and the Senate, in negotiation.
$1400 individual checks, small business loans, Unemployment aid, rental assistance, etc.
Good things that go directly to the people who need help in this economy.
Then there are the list below, all pork, or buying votes, not helping people caught up in the lock downs, or because the economy is slow to come back.
The thing that is irksome about this is its all bundled together, with the Democrats saying take it all or nothing. Leverage good against bad game. The old game of bundling good and bad and then say my way or the highway. Nancy and Chucky playing the hold up game, votes have consequences, Nov 2020 sure has, and not for the good.
Take a look and think about the fact that we are spending money we do NOT have, do we really want to spend this money. Its our tax money that will have to pay it back, money out of our pocket, our children’s pocket, our grandchildren’s pockets.
$15 minimum Wage [Update 2/25/21 10:25PM The Senate Parliamentarian said on Thursday night that a federal minimum wage hike to $15 per hour does not fit the criteria to be included in the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package.]YESSSSS!
$1.5 million earmarked for the Seaway International Bridge, which connects New York to Canada. Senate Leader Chuck Schumer hails from New York.
$50 million for “family planning” – going to non-profits, i.e. Planned Parenthood, or public entities, including for “services for adolescents[.]”
$852 million for AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps Vista, and the National Senior Service Corps – the Corporation for National and Community Service – civic volunteer agencies. This includes $9 million for the AmeriCorp inspector general to conduct oversight and audits of the largess. AmeriCorps received a $1.1 billion FY2020 appropriation.
full-time federal employees can take up to 600 hours in paid leave until September 30, up to $35 an hour and $1,400 a week. That’s 15 weeks for a 40-hour employee. Part-time and “seasonal” employees are eligible, too, with equivalent hours established by their agency
$200 million in the bill to The Institute of Museum and Library Services (FY2019 budget: $230 million). This agency is so small that it doesn’t even employ an inspector general.
$270 million funds the National Endowment of the Arts and the Humanities (FY2019 budget: $253 million) – In 2017, our study showed eighty-percent of all non-profit grant making flowed to well-heeled organizations with over $1 million in assets.
$350 billion to bailout the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The allocation formula uses the unemployment rate in the fourth quarter of 2020. Therefore, states like New York and California –who had strict economic lock down policies and high unemployment – will get bailout money. States like Florida and South Dakota – who were open for business – will get less.
$128.5 billion to fund K-12 education. The CBO determined that most of the money in education will be distributed in 2022 through 2028, when the pandemic is over.
$86 billion to save nearly 200 pension plans insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. There are no reforms mandated while these badly managed pensions are bailed-out. Many of these pension plans are co-managed by unions.
$50 billion goes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A portion of these funds is earmarked to reimburse up to $7,000 for funeral and burial costs related to Covid-19 deaths.
$39.6 billion to higher education. This amount is three times the money – $12.5 billion – that higher ed received with the massive CARES Act funding from last March.
$1.5 billion for Amtrak – the National Railroad Passenger Corporation. In FY2020, Congress appropriated $3 billion for Amtrak ($2 billion in annual appropriations, plus an additional $1 billion in the CARES Act COVID relief bill). In the three years before the pandemic, AMTRAK lost $392 million – even after a $5 billion taxpayer subsidy (FY2017-FY2019).
The January 6th “Riot”, Was it a riot perpetrated by every day Tromp supports spontaneously storming the capital building? Why was security so lax?
Lets Address the Security question first.
Capital Police new on January 4th, that they had an up coming security problem. In a statement dated February 9 the following. An admission by acting Chief Pittman to the house appropriations Committee on January 26th

The two pipe bombs planted at the RNC and DNC headquarters in DC were planted on January 5th a day before the “Riot”. It is believed that they were planted at 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM. Once the pipe bombs were made harmless, all forensic evidence was lost.
It becomes evident reading thru the security documents that the so called spontaneous “riot” was not at all a riot, but a planned attach on the capital by far right wing groups. It was planned well on advance of January 6th. It seems that all the major law enforcement players new something was going to happen. The FBI, Capital Police, Intelligence services. So why did the Capital Police reject attempts to augment with additional resources. Why?
Nancy and Chucky have played this out like a soap opera, they now have thousands of armed troops standing guard behind iron fences. To guard against what? The reaction to this thing has been a farce from the beginning.
I wrote a piece on January 19 about the false reporting that was going on about the “killings”. No one is reporting on that. Slowly the truth drips out, while Nancy and Chucky play the public with their self serving daily soap opera.
By the way the source for these document are tweets from a great reported, one of the few left. If your not already following her you should. Catherine Herridge @CBS_Herridge on twitter.
The senior Navy Task Force is proposing an oath to be taken by every member of the Navy:
“I pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every sailor in the Navy. I pledge to engage in ongoing self-reflection, education and knowledge sharing to better myself and my communities. I pledge to be an example in establishing healthy, inclusive and team-oriented environments. I pledge to constructively share all experiences and information gained from activities above to inform the development of Navy-wide reforms.”
This is how far Woke think has gotten itself burrowed into the our institutions. I am sure soon other branches of the military will follow. So our universities, our colleges, our high schools, our grimmer schools.
Focus if you will on one word in the oath “intersectional” From the web site Educators 4 social Change
“Introduction
Intersectionality is a framework for understanding how the intersections of different aspects of identity create unique experiences of discrimination and marginalization. Kimberlé Crenshaw first conceptualized the theory of intersectionality in her 1989 paper “Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics.” Intersectionality unites ideas from critical race theory and feminist theory to center the unique social identity of individuals who experience the effects of interlocking systems of oppression. Specifically, Dr. Crenshaw was naming the reality that Black women face a unique kind of discrimination in a society that is both racist and misogynist. Intersectionality as a concept can be extended and applied to all intersecting identities and experiences of discrimination and oppression, making it a crucial theory of inclusive social justice. Every person has intersecting social identities that place them in a unique position in society depending on the social structures of power. Intersectionality in practice is about seeing students as complex human individuals living within a society of intersecting structures of oppression.”
How many people taking that oath, do you think fully understand what they are committing to. I would think most won’t.
Secondly the military is the last place you want this kind of disruptive activity going on. Oh you say, they will bring in contractors to teach what the oath means. Oh OK
I have up loaded a few pages from a book “The palgrave international handbook of gender and the military. Written by Orna Sasson-Levy of Bar llan University. Read page 126, if your military or former military, get a bucket beside you before you start.
Bad enough that our educational system has sucked this stuff up. Now our government has bought in. Even the pentagon.
Our military should be dedicated and trained to go into battle to defend our countries security. It should train in warfare, tactics, military history. It has by its very nature a very strict chain of command, reacts to orders and takes action based on training. Our military has to be strong, and act many times without question.
This woke is a distraction, and has no place in the military. Especially if you understand that our military is all volunteer, if you think it needs woke don’t join.
Illinois state board of education put forward a modification to its teacher licensing standard. Part 24 of which is titled “culturally responsive teaching and leading standards for all Illinois educators” Which appears to be the injection of progressive liberal politics into the class room.
Below are a few excerpts from the new standards.
Self-Awareness and Relationships to Others – Culturally Responsive Teachers and Leaders are reflective and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and how they impact others, leading to more cohesive and productive student development as it relates to academic and social-emotional development for all students. The culturally responsive teacher and leader will:
Understand and value the notion that multiple lived experiences exist, that there is often not one “correct” way of doing or understanding something, and that what is seen as “correct” is most often based on our lived experiences.
Systems of Oppression – Culturally responsive teachers and leaders understand that there are systems in our society, especially, but not limited to, our school system that create and reinforce inequities, thereby creating oppressive conditions. Educators work actively against these systems in their everyday roles in educational institutions. The culturally responsive teacher and leader will
Understand how a system of inequity creates rules regarding student punishment that negatively impact students of color.
So here again we have a woke group pushing white supremacy sensitivity.
This is the same education system that is refusing to open schools and go back to teaching students.
The state of Illinois administers standardized tests each year, according to scores from the 2019 tests:
In math, only 32 percent of all students met or exceeded the state’s standards.
In English language arts 37.4 percent of all students met or exceeded the state’s standards.
So instead of focusing on the real problem, it is easier to put the blame on an imagined someplace else then focus on the imaginary problem. In doing so they will not get kids reading better, increase their math skills, or make it any easier for them to survive in an adult world.
I often wonder. In 1600s the Irish migrated to America, not long after the Italians. They suffered from the same discrimination as the Blacks and the Hispanics describe today. Perhaps the discrimination then was harsher and more pointed. Three generations later, discrimination against the Irish and Italians was mostly gone. These people sent their kids to school, took what ever jobs they could find, worked hard. They moved out of the cities and into regular neighborhoods. They had adapted and assimilated.
Did we change the way we educated children back then. Did we give special provisions for employment, no. We didn’t even have a minimum wage then.
The Irish and Italian people accomplish assimilation by sheer will, they wanted to become American. They came to this country because they wanted the freedom and opportunity that they saw in America. They knew from the get go they need to assimilate.
I said this a few day ago Ill say it again:
If I had kids in a public school regardless of my race or skin color I would immediately be looking for a private school or seriously consider home school. I know, I know not every one can afford private schools or because of the need to work has the time to home school. But everyone has the time to push for state law that allow freedom of choice, with the state transferring funds that allows for school choice.
Teacher’s unions are clearly showing us what there values are, look at Chicago or New York, were they are using the pandemic for nefarious reasons, their not interested in true education, only exploitation. More money to redirect.
The sad thing is there are some really great teachers out there, However, to keep their job, they must conform. The unions have put them in shackles.
Maybe it is time to contemplate doing away with the public education system control from Washington.
