Why Democrats should vote Libertarian

Dear Democrats,

Let’s talk about who you are voting for.  I’m not going to try to convince you to vote Republican.  Lower taxes, economic freedom, equal opportunity, national security and all that isn’t for everyone, and I get that.  Seriously though, we have many of the same goals.  Lowering healthcare costs without destroying our healthcare system, helping people rise up out of poverty, keeping the country safe, keeping our neighborhoods safe, an end to racism, proper management of government with cuts to wasteful spending, these are all goals of both Democrats and Republicans.  We just have different ways of getting there.

But the Democrat party isn’t run by moderate Democrats anymore.  You have not one, but four Democrat Senate candidates who have been caught on hidden camera telling people they are far more radical than they can publicly admit.  They said on these hidden videos that they are hiding their agenda to try to get moderate votes.  We have Beto O’Rourke in Texas who wants to import cheap labor illegally so that America’s poor don’t have to work.  Instead, he wants to give them universal guaranteed income.  It would basically turn our country into a slave/welfare state.

Andrew Gillum was on staff with a radical activist group YP4 that wanted to defund police and end prisons.  You may agree with portions of their manifesto, but I’d imagine you’d be a little uncomfortable with their stances on ending capitalism, opening borders, and their dedication to liberation theology which is an ideology of racial supremacy.  You might have liked Obama, but you probably wouldn’t sit and listen to a sermon by Jeremiah Wright.

And then there’s Ocasio-Cortez.  The question Democrats have to ask themselves is if they really support unfunded economic programs like universal income and universal healthcare if they are going to cost $3.2 trillion a year and require massive tax hikes on the poor just to be sustainable.

You’re still a liberal, but you’re not quite as radical as your party has become.  You also don’t like the rhetoric.  You hate Trump, you hate what he says, you aren’t particularly fond of his followers.  But you don’t think we should attack his supporters.  You don’t agree with Maxine Waters that you should show up at restaurants and chase people like Mitch McConnell and his wife out.  You aren’t into the radical hatred stuff so much, you really just don’t like Trump.  You don’t even really hate your friend who voted for Trump.  So some of the leftist rhetoric, like Hollywood actors calling for a bloody revolution if Democrats lose the election isn’t your cup of tea.  You really just want to return to that mythical time when the two parties acted with civility.

Here is why the Libertarian party is for you:

  1. They support legalization of recreational marijuana.  Like you, they don’t think the government should decide what you put in your body.
  2. They support prison reform.  Not “cops are white supremacists we need to shut down all prisons and let the inmates go wild” radical Democrat prison reform.  But real prison reform where people aren’t locked up for victimless crimes.
  3. They, like you, are most often pro-choice.  They aren’t going around talking about how they are so happy they had abortions and telling people to get their abortions while they still can.  They aren’t dressing up in vagina suits and throwing menstrual blood at cops because a 13 year old might have to tell the authorities when someone illegally gets her pregnant.  But they do consider abortion to be a private choice between a woman and her doctor.  I disagree, but hey I’m not a Democrat.
  4. They hate government corruption.  You hate government corruption.  And many of the candidates in your party are corrupt.  Senator Bob Menendez went to the Dominican Republic on a lobbyist’s dime to rape underage prostitutes.  Andrew Gillum accepted bribes from undercover FBI agents.  Libertarians haven’t been to DC yet, so they are still pure and innocent.  They can’t even get a lobbyist to buy them a cup of coffee.
  5. They are fiscally responsible.  Now you might not agree with their reductions in social programs, etc.  But take heart, chances are none of them will actually win, much less get enough power to actually do something like reform Social Security with higher performing private accounts.  So you can rest easy that the government will still hold that leash.  But you can personally vote with a clean conscience.

So if you want to vote against Republicans, but you’re no longer comfortable with the crazy that your party has become, consider voting for Libertarians.  Check out their platform.  I think you’ll see a lot of things you agree with, and not too many you don’t.  Their 2nd amendment views will make you antsy.  But more antsy than the idea that the government should ban most hunting and sport rifles, and then confiscate them?  Because that’s where the DNC is today.

Sincerely,

Your friends at Political Brief

Will #metoo Dems re-elect Bob Menendez?

New Jersey’s Senate race has been tighter than expected.  Although recent polls by CBS and Quinnipiac show Menendez with a comfortable lead, other outlier polls like one by Stockton University have the race within the margin of error.  Now Bob Hugin is using a new tactic: bringing up Menendez’s severe ethical issues.

Senator Bob Menendez just finished an ethics trial with a hung jury over charges that he was taking bribes and traveling to other countries to hire underage prostitutes.  Menendez voted against Brett Kavanaugh, saying Christine Ford was “not only to be believed” but was “a hero”.  Hugin is now using his own words against him attacking Menendez for hiring underage prostitutes.  Menendez’s lawyers argued that the underage prostitution in another country “would hardly be a Federal crime”.

Here is the hard hitting ad:

 

Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill is in trouble after a hidden camera caught her and her staff supporting a ban on all semi-automatic rifles and impeachment.  According to her staff, they have to lie about their support in order to get moderate votes in red leaning Louisiana.  They also said they would lie to voters after she was elected saying that national security issues prevented them from saying they would support impeachment.

“It’s like we have to lie to get elected”

“Essentially.”

Here’s the video:

 

Bill Nelson is another Democrat Senator in trouble.  Nelson sent out an email calling for donations to help Hurricane Michael victims.  But the link in his email goes to Actblue, a liberal Political Action Committee.  Actblue also donates funds to Super PACs which are not legally permitted to coordinate with campaigns or candidates.

Actblue has sent money to several high level Democrats including Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi.  They have also funded violent Leftist protest groups.  While the funds donated for hurricane relief will likely go to that cause, Nelson’s use of a political PAC to raise funds guarantees that he will get access to their personal information and can solicit further donations or have directed marketing campaigns towards hurricane relief donors.  Nelson did not disclose in his email that Actblue was a political PAC.  He made it sound like they were a charitable relief organization.

Bill Nelson pleads for hurricane relief, directs donors to a liberal PAC instead

Jailtime for Kavanaugh witness?

Leland Keyser doesn’t believe her.  That’s what she indicated in her testimony to the FBI.  Keyser is the closest thing Christine Ford has to a credible witness.  Keyser is Ford’s longtime friend and party pal.  Just like Kavanaugh and Judge used to apparently party and gang rape rooms full of women with no witnesses (according to now discredited Julie Swetnick), Leland Keyser and Christine Ford used to go to high school parties and drink just one beer together.

When Ford remembered that she had been assaulted, and then in 2018 remembered that it was Kavanaugh who did it, she named three other people at that party.  She named Kavanaugh’s friends Mark Judge and PJ Smyth, and she named her own lifelong friend Leland Keyser.  Keyser, along with the others, said she had absolutely no knowledge of any party that Ford and Kavanaugh had been together at.  Keyser has now repeated her denial to the FBI.

As we know from the Russian collusion witch hunt, lying to the FBI will get you at least two weeks in jail.

So who do you believe?  Do you believe her? Or her?  It’s no longer Kavanaugh versus Ford.  It’s Keyser versus Ford.  And Leland Keyser has every motive to lie to the FBI in favor of Ford’s testimony.  She didn’t.

In other Kavanaugh news, we have discovered now that he once threw ice at someone in a bar when he was a college student.  So basically this is all moot anyway.  You can’t throw ice at someone when you’re a college student and expect to sit on the Supreme Court.  I mean, that’s just detrimental to his character.  Anyone who is capable of throwing ice at someone in a bar is certainly capable of anything.  He’s simply a loose cannon.  You never know when Kavanaugh might just lose it, take an ice cube from his cup, and chuck it at Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the middle of a trial.  Actually, it’s worth confirming him just to see that.  Although, in her frail health that could kill her.

But I digress.

Apparently, an ex-boyfriend of Christine Ford’s has sent a letter to Congress stating that he witnessed her coaching students on how to beat a polygraph test.  That’s not huge news, considering her polygraph test consisted of two yes or no questions about whether her statements was false or made up.  She wasn’t asked any specific questions about the details of her allegations.

Julie Swetnick’s interview with NBC was a disaster.  Her allegations of Brett Kavanaugh gang raping her have dwindled down to her being assaulted by unknown people, her seeing unknown people waiting outside of rooms to gang rape women (something no one else remembers), and seeing Kavanaugh standing by the punch bowl and handing cups of punch to girls.  Still no witnesses to corroborate her claims.

As expected, Debra Martinez has given the FBI the names of 20 witnesses to contact, interview and add to the investigation.  And of course, it won’t be considered a “thorough” investigation unless they contact all 20.  My question is if she was playing a drinking game with Kavanaugh and one other in a room by themselves, what were these 20 witnesses supposed to have witnessed?

Let’s stop pretending this is something it isn’t.  Democrats are delaying and praying that they will flip two Republicans.  But they have their own members to worry about too.  Chris Coons, who negotiated the one week FBI investigation with flakey Flake did not sign a Democrat letter to Grassley demanding an additional 24 irrelevant and time consuming interviews for the FBI to include.  Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia has not committed to a vote either way.  He is facing a tough re-election bid in a conservative state.  Democrats may be starting to see how much their overreach is damaging their image.  In Florida the polls have tightened to a tie between Nelson and Scott.  Nelson, taking his orders from Schumer, didn’t even bother to interview Kavanaugh and declared a no vote before Trump even made the selection.

Democrats deserve to be punished at the polls in November.  They have literally ruined lives and set an incredibly dangerous precedent in these confirmation hearings.  Kavanaugh should be confirmed, if nothing else than to declare that this sort of circus is not how America works.  Feinstein should be censured for creating this circus, and Corey Booker should resign simply to save Democrats from the “obvious hypocrite” reputation they have earned.  When the founding fathers wrote the words “advise and consent”, I doubt they had this sort of circus in mind.

Right on time, accuser #2.

I feel like I’m watching the confirmation hearings again.  Right when things settle down from carrying out one screaming lunatic and the hearings begin again, another screaming lunatic stands up.  In this case it’s sexual assault accusers with no witnesses, admitted faulty memories, and demands for an FBI investigation.

Today we are dealing with Debra Ramirez.  She’s another liberal extremist who suddenly started to remember vivid details about something that happened 34 years ago with a drunk Kavanaugh.  With her attorney’s help, Ramirez started to remember a drunken party at Yale.  At the party, apparently she and Kavanaugh were playing a drinking game with a couple other friends.  The drinking game involved pointing a fake penis at each other or something like that.  Who knows what goes on at these ivy league fancy parties.

At one point, in her drunken stupor, she though Kavanaugh pointed his real penis at her.  This was confirmed for her as she now remembers someone shouting Brett Kavanaugh’s full name down the hallway saying he had just done this.  Being a strong catholic who goes to parties, gets drunk, and plays with fake penises, she didn’t ever want to actually see or touch a real one until she got married.  It’s a religious thing.

So far three friends of hers and Kavanaugh’s have gone on record saying the incident never happened.  Several others who didn’t want to go on record have denied it happening.  One, who refused to go on record, said he remembered hearing about it one time and is 100% sure it did happen.

Unlike Ford, whose account has also been discredited and has no one who will vouch for her, Ramirez just suddenly remembered this now.  Ford at least had a back story to these memories suddenly surfacing when Kavanaugh was nominated.  She even had therapist sessions about it, although there were no names and the details were different.  Ford also actually submitted a letter to her representative back in July, although Democrats sat on it until now.  Ramirez is coming out of no where.

And then there are the key words.  She wants an FBI investigation.  You would think Senators and attorneys, even if they didn’t understand this before, would know now that the FBI doesn’t drop everything and investigate 35 year old allegations about college students getting drunk and showing off their members.  It’s not a federal crime, it’s past the statute of limitations, and while it may have offended her strict catholic principles to see a real penis while at an alleged drunken revelry, it’s not something the FBI really cares about.  But if they did win an FBI investigation, or any other investigation, they would get their real goal which is delaying the Kavanaugh confirmation.

In the end, what this really proves is that Mike Pence was right.  As a man, you shouldn’t meet with a woman alone.  Even a small group of friends is dangerous.  But beyond that, don’t make inappropriate jokes.  Always be a gentleman.  Train your sons to stay away from women while they are young.  Don’t invite women to business meetings.  Keep the genders separate in grade school, high school, and even college.  Don’t fraternize with the opposite sex.  If you have daughters, be very strict with them.  Don’t let them wear the wrong clothes cause you never know when even someone like Brett Kavanaugh might be a sexual predator.  Don’t let them go to college where they might be randomly attacked by someone who is fooling literally everyone else in the world, but is really a predator.

Maybe if your son is on a date, consider going with him so he isn’t falsely accused.  Try a “courting candle”.  Tell them to kiss dating goodbye.  Don’t hire women.  You are only putting yourself in a bad situation.  Remind your sons that even if they are completely innocent and do nothing wrong, a 35 year old accusation with no witnesses must always be believed and she might not always be your friend.  You might disagree politically some day, and she’ll have ammo to destroy you.

Don’t worry, Liberal Feminists.  We are learning our lesson here.

Things the media is choosing not to report

As the Christine Blasey Ford drama sucks all the air out of the room, there are some things the media is either lightly reporting or ignoring outright.  These would be huge “stop the presses” moments if it were about Republicans.  It involves blatant racism, domestic abuse, and international intrigue.  But it doesn’t look good for Democrats and we are within two months of an election.

  1. Beto O’Rourke tells a black student that we need cheap, illegal labor because no one else will pick cotton.

The media is simply ignoring this one.  At a town hall on Wednesday, Beto O’Rourke was asked by a black student about his policy towards illegal immigrants.  Specifically, the student asked him if illegal immigrants should be granted citizenship and American-paid benefits even though they came here voluntarily without following our laws.  Beto first compared illegal immigrants sneaking in to the country to black slaves being brought here against their will.

Beto went on to tell how the manager of a cotton gin he went to visit said people born here in the US won’t take jobs working for him anymore, and that’s why we need to import “immigrants” from Central America and Mexico to help our economy.  It’s the exact same argument southern Democrats used for why we needed slavery in the first place.  Even more disturbing, he is literally telling this black student that we need illegal immigrants because blacks won’t pick cotton anymore.  Not a peep from the media.  Here’s the video:

 

2. Keith Ellison abused his girlfriend

While Democrats are making the argument that Brett Kavanaugh is not qualified to serve because of an accusation that 36 years ago he as a teenager touched another teenager over her clothes, the media is not spending too much time on credible accusations of domestic violence against Keith Ellison.  Ellison’s girlfriend has now posted medical records detailing the abuse.  But rather than seeing an outcry of #metoo support, the NYT headline is simply that Ellison denies allegations of abuse.

If Christine Blasey Ford is to be believed, isn’t Karen Monahan?  There have been the typical 11th page acknowledgements, but other than that, Representative Ellison’s physical abuse of his girlfriend has been a big yawn for the media.  No one in Hollywood who has come out in blind support of Ford has asked for Ellison’s resignation either.

3. Christine Blasey Ford is 0-3 on the witness count

This is another one that has received light coverage.  Christine Blasey Ford has named other people who were at the party where she was allegedly groped by Kavanaugh.  So far three who have responded, including Ford’s lifelong friend  Leland Keyser, have said Kavanaugh wasn’t there.  None have placed him at any party ever with Ford.  Leland Keyser, who told the Washington Post she believed her friend, wrote to the Judiciary Committee that she had never been at a party or gathering with Kavanaugh.

This is devastating to Ford’s case.  A liberal believing something has little to do with reality.  When it comes to official correspondence that carries penalties if someone lies, Keyser would not back her friend’s claim.  Ford’s attorneys dismissed Keyser’s denial to the Washington Post, saying it would make sense since it happened so long ago and Ford never talked about it.  But Keyser isn’t just denying the allegations.  She’s denying ever being at a party or gathering with Kavanaugh.

4. Democrats violate the constitution and demand the FBI and DOJ defy President Trump’s order to declassify FISA documents and Comey texts

If it were a Republican investigation and a Democrat President, do you think this wouldn’t be 24/7 front page news?  Trump has ordered that the FISA applications that used the Russian dossier to gain authority to spy on his campaign should be declassified and shared with the public.  He is also ordering texts between major players, including Comey and McCabe, to be declassified.  The President has the constitutional right to order this.  In fact, the body evidence revealed already demands that these things be shared with the public.

Democrats Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, and Mark Warner have issued a letter to the FBI and DOJ ordering them not to proceed until they have strategized with them about it.  That is unconstitutional.  Those agencies cannot disobey a Presidential order and delay this declassification.

But the more pertinent question is why?  Why would Democrats be so scared of what might be contained in those memos, interviews, FISA applications, and texts?  None of the Republicans are ordering agencies to defy the President.  Where is the media’s curiosity?

Governor’s race tightens in Florida

It’s the economy, stupid.  Just kidding, that’s what it used to be.  Now it’s race and phony promises.  Gillum has turned around his political fortune by playing the race card and promising far more than he could ever deliver.  Even with a billion dollar tax hike, you have to wonder how he is going to give teachers raises when the economy crashes.  But none of that matters.  When Gillum destroys the economy, we must all sit and watch in horror with our hands over our mouths.  Any criticism would be racist, just like with Obama.

Fortunately, Floridians may be coming to their senses.  After a shock Rasmussen poll showed Gillum up by six points, the most recent poll out from Florida Atlantic University shows it as a 2 point race.  Rasmussen tends to lean right, giving Trump 50% approval ratings throughout 2018.  But the new poll tracks more closely with Quinnipiac’s 3 point lead for Gillum.  Quinnipiac tends to lean left.  That means the Florida governor’s race is still a toss up.  So perhaps we can have slight restoration of faith in the sanity of Florida voters.

New poll shows 2 point race in Florida

Judiciary committee chair Chuck Grassley has set a deadline of Friday morning for Christine Blasey Ford to decide whether or not to testify about the allegation letter Democrats have sat on since July.  Ford has flipped back and forth on whether she will actually show up.  Her lawyers have demanded an FBI investigation, even though it’s not a Federal issue, there is no evidence to investigate, and the FBI has already reviewed the information and declined.  Perhaps her lawyers aren’t very well versed in how things work.

I suppose Republicans should pat themselves on the back for entertaining this absurd sideshow.  In today’s cultural environment it is really necessary.  But the whole episode is unfortunate.  By turning Ford’s accusation into a circus event and using it as a delay strategy, Democrats have cheapened and discredited women who have been attacked and should be believed.  This, like Gillum playing the race card, harms real victims.  It also harms the country.  Rather than being able to come together in unity and say “racism is bad” or “women deserve to be heard and believed”, reasonable people must pause and ask “was it really racism?  Or was it a common phrase used in a context having nothing to do with race that a Democrat got offended at for political purposes”.  “Is she telling the truth?  Or is she an operative making non-falsifiable claims as a ploy to harm someone else for political reasons?”

It’s not fair that reasonable people should even have to ask.  Democrats have a credibility gap and an honor deficiency that has been made apparent by the Kavanaugh hearings.  They need to fix this.  Not for their own sake, but for the sake of real victims who they have turned into political football to score cheap points.

Ford has until Friday to decide if she will testify

Speaking of credible accusers, the former girlfriend of Democrat Representative Keith Ellison just released medical records detailing the physical abuse she experienced at his hand.  We’ve gone on about Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and other Democrat heroes who raped and murdered women.  But Democrats typically yawn and go on about how that is ancient history.  The Ellison abuse scandal is not ancient history.  It’s now.  He beat his girlfriend as recently as 2017.

Shouldn’t Ellison step down?  Shouldn’t the media care about this?  The media cycle is filled with a 35 year old accusation against Kavanaugh with no witnesses, no location, no date, no physical evidence, and plenty of political intrigue.  Is there simply no room left to talk about a real, current case of domestic abuse?  Certainly it couldn’t be that the media doesn’t care because of Ellison’s party affiliation.  If that were the case, it would validate Republican complaints that the media is severely biased.

Keith Ellison beat his girlfriend, but no one cares

Republicans call Christine Blasey Ford’s bluff

What started out as an 11th hour hail mary attempt by Democrats to get a delaying investigation has now blown up in their faces.  Democrats have been looking for anything it takes to delay the Kavanaugh nomination long enough to make it a 2018 election issue.  Democrats desperately need something to drive their voters to the polls in key Senate races across the country.

But what Democrats didn’t bargain for is Republicans challenging Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh to testify, and both of them agreeing.  When the Democrats turned an anonymous letter about an alleged assault from 35 years ago over to the FBI, they were hoping for an investigation, smear, doubt, and delay.  It didn’t matter what the investigation would turn up.  Like Russian collusion, all that would matter is that it existed.  Instead we are going to have Kavanaugh, who denies even being at the party, versus a liberal Democrat California professor and her infamous DNC supporting lawyer who refuse to even name other people at the party.

Christine Blasey Ford deserves to be heard.  So did Juanita Broderick, but Democrats didn’t care about that.  So we have the party of Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton putting Ford forward as their new champion to stop Kavanaugh.  Perhaps, like Broderick, Ford will be able to find other witnesses who were at the party and willing to come forward to testify that they saw Kavanaugh there and drunk.  Perhaps, like Broderick who alleged that she was raped by Bill Clinton, Ford will have friends who can testify to what she looked like after the incident.  Perhaps she’ll have something that gives her any credibility.

Then you have the intrigue.  Christine Blasey Ford has a reason to hold a grudge against Kavanaugh aside from the fact that she’s a Trump hating liberal.  Brett Kavanaugh’s mom, also a judge, ruled against Christine Blasey Ford’s dad in a 2006 foreclosure hearing.  Suddenly the metamorphosis of her story from a suppressed memory about a drunken pool party with an attack by four unnamed boys to Kavanaugh drunk at a pool party attacking her with a friend seems even more suspicious.

When she swears an oath and testifies before Congress and they ask her questions like “where was the house” and “what were the names of the other people there” and this thing comes apart, Democrats should face severe consequences.  Already, rather than people coming forward and saying they remember that party, we have 65 women who knew Kavanaugh in high school saying he was honorable and would never have done this.  You would think someone other than Christine Blasey Ford would have remembered Kavanaugh being at that party by now and would have come forward. For Ford herself, she can’t remember where the house was, whose house it was, and how she got there or how she got home.

What we have is a liberal professor with a shifting story that cannot be proven or disproven from 35 years ago about to take the stand and try to convince us that Kavanaugh was a drunk rapist as a teenager.  She has reason to hate Kavanaugh both politically and personally.  The whole story was so implausible that Democrats didn’t even use it until the very last minute as a delay/doubt tactic.  Now this exhibit at the circus is going to be nationally televised.

In a fair world, Democrats would suffer election losses over this circus.  But many Democrats live in the world of Dan Rather, where if they hate someone enough they will know in their hearts any accusation against that person is true.  Or perhaps the world of Harry Reid who acknowledged that he will lie to advance the liberal agenda after falsely claiming that Mitt Romney’s tax returns were fraudulent.  We’ve seen Spartacus at this circus; Corey Booker trying to turn himself into a martyr and hilariously failing.  And of course, the phony Native American Elizabeth Warren trying to fundraise off of the Christine Blasey Ford accusation.

On Monday, the chips are on the table.  Ford will face a lot of questions about her parents’ foreclosure, about where this pool party took place, about who else was there, about why she waited 35 years.  Then we’ll all realize there is no semen stained dress.  There are no tapes.  There are no party going witnesses.  She wasn’t a campaign volunteer who allowed Kavanaugh into her room cause she just wanted to meet him.  She wasn’t a former lover, masseuse, or co-worker in the car.  She’s a hostile operative from the opposing party with plenty of reasons to make it all up and nothing so far to lend her credibility.

Borking failed, Dems try Anita Hill II

Democrats have failed again to stop Kavanaugh.  This time, it was pretty spectacular.  Diane Feinstein came out with a letter yesterday that apparently she had been hiding since summer.  The letter, written anonymously by someone who allegedly begged not to have her identity revealed (i.e. fakenews) supposedly accused Kavanaugh of some sort of sexual crime in high school.  Kavanaugh attended Georgetown Prep, which is an all boys high school.

When Feinstein had no luck getting the phony letter introduced to the judiciary committee as evidence, she went the Bruce Ohr/Peter Strzok route and forwarded it to the FBI to be investigated.  Of course, no investigation is planned.  Feinstein has earned her own clown nose in the Kavanaugh hearings, along with Corey “Spartacus” Booker, and Kamala Harris with her “have you ever talked to anyone about anything” line of questioning.  And here I was hoping Feinstein was trying to be the reasonable and sane voice of the left in the Judiciary Committee.

Feinstein tries and fails spectacularly with phony anti-Kavanaugh letter

Socialists boycotting Jews?  Apparently there is nothing new under the sun.  Florida Socialist and Democrat candidate for governor Andrew Gillum has aligned himself with anti-Semitic groups who have called for boycotting Israel.  Gillum has happily accepted endorsements from racist groups like Dream Defenders who are part of the BDS movement to harm Jewish people economically through boycotts.  This isn’t the first time this approach has been tried in history.

Despite tax cuts, tax revenues continue to increase at record rates.  The government has collected over $1.5 trillion through August.  This beat out the previous record set last year.  While the deficit continues to run high and Congress continues to avoid spending cuts, it shows that tax cuts do increase revenues when it results in economic recovery.  This has been proven now several times.  If Congress could get their act together and cut spending (rather than double it along with taxes), we could have a balanced budget some day.

Tax cuts work, booming economy increases revenues

Internet giants display anti-Conservative bias

Twitter is reportedly blocking the phrase “illegal alien”.  At least that’s the report from the Center for Immigration Studies who had several posts blocked that contained the term.  One of the posts merely restated a fact from a US Government website.  The move comes as an under-reported study we commented on yesterday showed that the 11 million illegal immigrants in the US are responsible for the theft of 39 million social security numbers.  The news of these identity thefts is devastating to the campaigns of Democratic Socialists who are running on obstructing border security and abolishing ICE.

I recommend, if you have a Twitter account, testing the CIS’s complaint and seeing if you can successfully post tweets about the social security numbers being stolen by illegal aliens.

Twitter blocks “illegal alien” as hate speech

Google execs were caught on video expressing their extreme depression and sadness over Trump’s election.  I wonder how this works.  Isn’t big corporate America supposed to be secretly overturning the will of the people in order to get fascist corporatists from the GOP elected?  Isn’t that how the conspiracy theory goes?  If we were to analyse things like Google trying to get Hillary elected based on that persistent trope, wouldn’t we have to admit that the Democrats are the evil puppet politicians of the fascist corporatists?  Go on, you were about to say something about the Koch brothers.

Google execs melt down over Hillary Clinton loss

Speaking of flipping the script, GOP Senator Marco Rubio came out praising Miami wide receiver Kenny Stills for the service to his community.  Stills was one of a handful of kneelers on Sunday, meaning he knelt during the national anthem to protest racism and police violence.  But he also is constantly involved in his community and giving of time and money.  Rubio tweeted:

“You don’t have to agree with how or why he has chosen to exercise the 1st Amendment before every game to acknowledge the hours he gives voluntarily,on his day off,to serve his fellow Americans.”

We agree with Rubio and applaud him for taking a brave stand for 1st amendment rights in a non-election year.  He’ll likely face some backlash from conservatives and MAGA’ers.  The problem with the kneeling is that both sides have their fingers in their ears.  One side believes they are being attacked for wanting to fight racism, the other side thinks people are disrespecting the flag and the country because they hate the country.  I can’t believe I’m saying this, but what we need is a good old fashioned beer summit.

Violent Left strikes in California

Taking their cue from violent socialists in Brazil, Democrats in California are taking things to a new level.  Rudy Peters is the GOP candidate running for Congress in Eric Swalwell’s district.  On Sunday, Farzad Fazeli pulled a switchblade and attacked Rudy Peters at a campaign event.  Peters fended him off with a campaign sign until police showed up.

This is just the most recent incident.  A GOP campaign office in Wyoming was set on fire last week.  On Twitter, a Democratic Socialist activist threatened a mass shooting at a Trump hotel, saying he would take MAGA hats as trophies.  Democrats have amped up violent rhetoric against the Right and their attacks on police and ICE.  Ocasio-Cortez suggested that ICE is raping women at will.  Other candidates like Gillum have called for the abolition of ICE.  There has also been rhetoric encouraging socialist type revolutions.  The Left needs to call off the hounds and do their part to return to civility.

Democrat attacks GOP candidate with a switchblade in violent campaign season

Speaking of over the top rhetoric, there’s a Republican in the White House and a hurricane on the way.  You know what that means.  Leftwing media outlets didn’t even wait for the hurricane to hit before attacking Trump on his response.  Trump was attacked for suggesting the US response to Hurricane Maria was good.  The media is blaming Trump for the failures of the Puerto Rico government. They seem to forget the mayor of San Juan who was highly critical of Trump while her government failed to distribute truck loads of aid and refused to pay electrical workers.

How the media uses hurricanes to bring down Presidencies

A new study out shows that “non-criminal” illegal aliens who come here looking for work are not as “non-criminal” as everyone thought. Media and Democrats like to co-mingle legal and illegal immigrants in order to produce stats about how they are paying taxes, contributing to society, getting an education, etc.  But there’s a new stat out that shows the idea of the non-criminal illegal alien is a myth.

Illegal aliens come here looking for jobs.  At least that is a common argument used.  They are here to do the jobs Americans won’t, as others have commonly argued.  The problem is in order to have a job you have to have a social security number.  That’s why a new study is showing that about 39 million identity thefts involving social security numbers can be attributed to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the US.  That’s almost 4 stolen social security numbers per illegal immigrant.

The thefts are much harder to detect now, thanks to Obama.  As part of his administration moves to help bring more illegal Dreamers into the country, he directed applicable agencies to stop sending letters to employers indicating if their employees had a name/SSN mismatch.  As a result, employers not subject to e-verify had no idea if their employees had bought their social security number on the black market.
