Liberty is Inherent – The Removal of Liberty Requires Consent…


..”If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.”..  ~Sam Adams

The power of government comes from the people; or as we say in the U.S. “from the consent of the governed.” When people lead, the politicians are forced to follow. Without implied consent the municipal or state government has no power. None.

The power of the local, regional or state authority comes from the expressed consent of the people. As soon as the majority of people deny that consent, those officials and state authoritarians lose all of their power.  Yes, it really is that simple.

Those who construct the systems of control need to weaponize fear. Fear of arrest; fear of losing a business; fear of losing liberty or financial security. Local, regional and state officials rely on fear. As soon as We The People are no longer fearful, the control ends.

The overwhelming majority of dictates around COVID-19 mitigation are not laws. There was no debate; no input from representative government; and no option for the public to weigh-in on the decisions.

All unilateral rules are arbitrary, and despite many proclamations to the contrary, they rely upon voluntary compliance. As soon as citizens no longer voluntarily comply, the term of the rules has expired.  Liberty is inherent. The removal of liberty requires consent.

REMINDER – When I share the message “live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment that we allow the COVID and leftist onslaught to deter us from living our dreams, is a moment those who oppose our nation view as us taking a knee.

Do not allow this effort to succeed.

You might ask yourself how can I, one person, a flea looking into a furnace, retain an optimistic disposition while all around me seems chaotic and mad.

That’s the point; it ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way. There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages, and recognize the scale of our assembly.

 

Every second that you live your life with thankfulness for the abundance within it; every moment that we CHOOSE to engage with fellowship; every day that we accept guidance from God – however you define him to be; and every moment we cherish this time to be a beacon of optimism; is a moment that we withstand that barrage and hold the flag in place. It is a genuinely patriotic position not to succumb to the attack.

If you allow yourself to be drawn into crisis and despair, you allow them to win. If your center of normal is based around this overwhelming onslaught, you will eventually concede liberty in favor of peace. Once we stop living in liberty, we no longer have peace.

It took me a while to fully understand just how damaging empty streets, soulless eyes, the lack of smiles, shuttered businesses, and the absence of joy would become. But as I travel around trying to deliver a very specific message to a very specific audience, I recognize just how much damage is being done; not just to our nation as a whole, but also to every individual within it – personally.

We must shake this mindset. We must withstand this onslaught and rally to the origin of our true national spirit. We must rally to a standard of Americanism and accept this is not that. In essence, we must individually take a stand. Purposefully, deliberately and with forethought, we must engage those around us to get rid of this sense of foreboding.

This approach is how we win the larger battle.

All around us, in every tribe and region, there are people who need you to show them the strength that you have. Strength of spirit. Strength of fellowship that you will not relent from expressing. No matter what noise is shouting from the loudspeakers, we must withstand it; we must make eye contact and remain joyful. We cannot allow despair to be the status quo.

Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic, however you need to do it. Then, let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again. God knows we need it.

Lift your spirits.  I cannot tell you how much of a difference it makes right now; not only to this internet community, but to our nation as a whole.   Choose to be optimistic. Live your best life, RIGHT NOW, there are people working furiously and with great purpose. Remember, this is the only life we have – so seize this day, and then the next, and then keep going.

We live in the greatest nation on the face of the earth. We are the people of that nation, with boundless opportunities most of the world can only dream of.  Our opposition has nothing but false witness, fear and lies.  Push on them, they are weak and shallow.

We are Americans…. Those who are working against our interests thrive in an atmosphere of despair and disenfranchisement – do not give it to them.  Carry an optimistic spirit, regardless of how challenging. I cannot explain it, but that makes success more certain.

Do not fuel our opposition with the power of fear.  Be strong right now; be happy right now; demand action, you are worth it. Do not give evil elements an inch of space within your heart.   Expect and demand accountability.  Do not worry about being perceived as an a**hole about it.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 1:9

Quit listening to those who say “can’t” and “won’t”…

If some feel comfortable sitting in their socially distant box and bitching about all things that are not right, or might be not be right…. Or, if they prefer to allow themselves to be overcome with dark imaginings simply because what cannot be done is more comfortable than the effort to oversee what needs to be done…. well, that’s okay.

They can do that.

And when they are done doing that, they’ll still be in the same place.  However, you can choose to be positive and take action.

Rally your spirits to a standard of worthiness; because you are worth so much more. We are on the right side of history.  We are being guided. It is rather remarkable.

Again, thanks for your support.  Every prayer is felt, and I really believe those prayers are making a difference.  I’m seriously humbled.  Prayerfully so…  But remember, failure has never been in our national lexicon.  Life is good…. now, get to livin’ it.

Hopefully, I’ll see you soon…

The Biden Harris Malarkey Bus!


“It’s not about your rights, it’s about your responsibilities.”

Biden actually said this as he appeared with his VP pick, Kamala Harris. They were pushing a nationwide mask mandate. If elected, Biden said he “would do everything possible” to ensure Americans wear masks in public. He claims the masks make a “gigantic difference,” and under his presidency he will make wearing masks the law of the land.

The masks are not making a gigantic difference. Not against the coronavirus, anyway. Cloth masks do not stop the virus at all and in fact, the constant mask fidgeting ensures viruses and bacteria will be transferred to the masks via dirty fingers. Constant mask wearing is very bad for one’s health. It’s not good to breathe in one’s own CO2 all day.

Both Biden and Trump said mask wearing is ‘patriotic.’ Anytime a politician tells citizens that an annoying mandate that compromises freedom is ‘patriotic,’ it’s always a huge red flag. Wearing a mask is neither patriotic nor protective. It’s a sign of compliance. Government gets to see what it can get away with and what we will tolerate. So far, most Americans are doing what they’re told in lockstep. They seem almost eager to exchange freedom for safety. They will get neither.

Our rights, once abandoned, are very difficult to retrieve without blood being spilled. If you don’t want to live in a country where you must PERMANENTLY wear a mask as you step out your door, the time to protest is now.

As for Joe and Kamala, their Malarkey Bus is just waiting to be run over by Trump. The current Democratic presidential ticket is the weakest in history. If the mass media thinks black and brown people will vote for Biden because of Harris, they may be in for a surprise. She’s hated by many minorities after she did her best to lock them up for minor transgressions such as marijuana possession or when their kids were truant. Harris herself admitted she inhaled her Jamaican pot deeply. Now we’re forced to breathe in her bad hypocrisy breath as she exhales. Maybe in this instance, a mask is desirable.

Obama Going All Out To Meddle In 2020 Election


Meanwhile, the truth is that Obama, who meddled in the 2016 election but lost, is now meddling in the 2020 election to try to return the Democrats to power

Obama Going All Out To Meddle In 2020 Election

Former President Barack Obama is now slamming President Donald Trump for trying to “actively kneecap the Postal Service to affect mail-in voting in the 2020 election and is urging lawmakers and citizens to take actions to “protect the integrity” of the upcoming election.”

His accusations would be downright laughable were it not for the fact that it is the Democrats who are trying to compromise “the integrity of the election”.

It is Obama’s wife, Michelle, who through her initiative ‘When We All Vote’ who is masterminding the universal Mail-In Vote for Election 2020—under the phony cover of being “non-partisan”.

The Democrats, hell-bent-for-leather to return to power, whose city mayors and state governors can’t or won’t protect their citizens from anarchy

How can activist Michelle Obama, who is leading the unprecedented universal Mail-In Vote claim to be “non-partisan”?

The Democrats, hell-bent-for-leather to return to power, whose city mayors and state governors can’t or won’t protect their citizens from anarchy, know they can’t pull of an election victory without out the Mail-In Vote, which leaves plenty of room for fraud.

The Democrats excel in the fine art of The Masquerade.  It was earlier in the week when they decreed Senator Kamala Harris would be VP on the Joe Biden presidential ticket, passing off Harris as a middle-of-the road, moderate Democrat!

“Former President Barack Obama, in an interview released Friday, slammed President Donald Trump for trying to “actively kneecap the Postal Service” to affect mail-in voting in the 2020 election and urged lawmakers and citizens to take actions to “protect the integrity” of the election. (NBC, Aug. 14, 2020)

“Obama, speaking on the podcast of his former campaign manager David Plouffe, was responding to recent comments by Trump, who said earlier this week that holding up emergency funds for the U.S. Postal Service would ensure that the post office would be unable to “take all of these millions and millions of ballots.”

“Obama, responding to those remarks, accused Republicans of having tried for years “to discourage people’s votes from counting in all kinds of ways,” like voter identification laws and gerrymandering, but said Trump’s threats were “unique to modern history.”

This from an ex-president, who along with his protege Hillary Clinton, defiantly refuses to believe the result of the 2016 election that saw Donald Trump elected as president with 63-million votes!

Obama and his surrogates are counting on people being too afraid of catching the pandemic to come out to the polls and vote in person

“What we’ve never seen before is a president say, ‘I’m going to try to actively kneecap the Postal Service to encourage voting, and I will be explicit about the reason I’m doing it,’” Obama said of Trump, who has pushed for in-person voting.

“That’s sort of unheard of, right? And we also have not had an election in the midst of a pandemic that is still deadly and killing a lot of people.”

“ And we also have not had an election in the midst of a pandemic that is still deadly and killing a lot of people.”

Obama and his surrogates are counting on people being too afraid of catching the pandemic to come out to the polls and vote in person.

“In the fall of 1918, the United States was approaching a midterm election like none other before. (history.com)

“Not only were President Woodrow Wilson and his fellow Democrats trying to keep control of Congress during the home stretch of World War I—they were trying to do so in the middle of one of the deadliest pandemics in history.

“The first wave of the so-called Spanish flu had begun that spring, when the first official cases were reported at Camp Funston, a U.S. Army training camp at Fort Riley, Kansas. The second wave, which emerged in September 1918 at an army training camp and naval facility near Boston, would be far worse. This time, the flu spread quickly into the civilian population of Boston and other cities on the East Coast. In the month of October alone, a total of 195,000 Americans died.

Spanish flu had begun that spring

“As scientists raced to find a vaccine, public health officials turned to time-tested methods of social distancing and quarantine. State and local officials around the country banned public gatherings, closing schools, churches, theaters, bars and other spots where people typically met in groups.

“Due to these widespread bans, many candidates in the 1918 midterms could not campaign in the typical way. Barred in many cases from holding rallies or speaking events, they were forced to rely on less direct forms of communication, including seeking out newspaper coverage or sending campaign literature through the mail.

“Since local and state authorities largely controlled the measures taken to control the spread of the virus, voting in the 1918 midterms looked very different depending on what part of the country you were in.

“By November, when the flu was generally waning in the eastern part of the country, it was ramping up in the West. In Sacramento, California, some poll sites couldn’t open, according to the Sacramento Bee, because “there were not enough citizens who were well enough.” In San Francisco, health officials issued an order in late October mandating that people wear face masks while in public or in a group of two or more people. All poll workers and voters were required to wear masks on Election Day, prompting the San Francisco Chronicle to call it “the first masked ballot ever known in the history of America.”

Adding billions of dollars to the Postal Service budget

“By contrast, things were getting back to normal on the East Coast. Public health officials in Washington, D.C. made the decision to reopen churches on October 31, and schools and theaters on November 4, the day before the midterm election. In New York City, health commissioner Dr. Royal S. Copeland similarly began rolling back restrictions in early November, with businesses resuming their normal operating hours by Election Day.

“Despite the risks involved, there appears to have been little public discussion about simply postponing the election that year.”

Back to Obama:

“So in that circumstance, the thing I’m most worried about is … how do we protect the integrity of the election process? How do we make sure that people’s votes are counted? How do we police and monitor how state officials are setting up polling places and ensuring that every vote is counted?” he continued. (NBC)

“Trump has so far resisted congressional Democrats’ efforts to add billions of dollars to the Postal Service budget to help fund the extra work needed to process more voting by mail as a result of the coronavirus pandemic — although he later suggested he would not veto such funding if it were part of the next coronavirus relief package.

“Trump has repeatedly claimed that mail-in voting, used in the United States since the Civil War, invites fraud. There’s no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the United States, according to numerous investigations and studies.

Meanwhile, the truth is that Obama, who meddled in the 2016 election but lost, is now meddling in the 2020 election to try to return the Democrats to power.

Call It Treason


President Trump was right; the future does not belong to globalists, but to patriots

Call It Treason

Ican’t think of a more important time in the history of our Constitutional Republic than now. In this election year, the political Left is trying to sell their party on fixing problems they helped create, while President Trump is fighting to continue the existence of the United States of America as we know it. That is no overstatement. We are living a seesaw with weight being amassed on the Left from forces both foreign and domestic. The Right is beginning to awaken, running to add their weight on the side of freedom. Trump, in the meantime, is doing his best to hold it together, preventing the disintegration, quelling the voices of treason. He needs our help.

When Rep. Gohmert (R-TX) introduced a resolution several weeks ago to ban the Democrat Party for their historical support of slavery, racism, and hatred, he did not go nearly far enough. This same Party, this disloyal opposition, is now working feverishly to destabilize our country in order to hand it over to globalists through the promoting of rioting and violence. They’re using questionable and overblown race issues, an irrational fear of COVID-19, and angst over climate change they say, if left without remedy, will end the world. The fact that they are working hand in hand with foreign entities toward that goal is the very definition of treason. They indeed deserve nothing less than dissolution.

The Democrat Party is being aided by fellow antagonists and insurrectionists, Antifa and Black Lives Matter

The Democrat Party is being aided by fellow antagonists and insurrectionists, Antifa and Black Lives Matter, having nothing to do with anti-fascism or Black lives and everything to do with a Marxist takeover. It is also in partnership with globalists like Gates, Soros, Gore, the Davos gang aka the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, international corporations like Microsoft and BP, the King-in-waiting, Prince Charles, desperately looking for meaning in life, and even the Vatican with their encyclical The Economy of Francesco, all dedicated to, in their words, The Great Reset…the great world transformation, a paradigm shift…and China, always the CCP in the background waiting with Islam nearby to divide the spoils.

They have plans, big plans that deny the very nature of human beings, and it includes the United States only to drain us dry and force us into a subservient roll. It will all sound so wonderful to our enemies and those foreign people who have long been oppressed by their own, but in reality, it will be the product of entities that are corrupt, short-sighted, greedy, and exploitative.

We know COVID-19 is real. The question is whether it was manufactured or natural. Its suspiciously timed release immediately after the failed Trump impeachment, the controls, the questionable and confusing remedies, the lock-downs, the suicides, the deaths, both genuine and those marked as Covid related in spite of the actual cause. We also have the unnecessary deaths of thousands of the elderly, the millions of failed businesses, the 16,000+ prisoners released on the public, the suspension of Trump rallies. All have taken a mighty toll. And in an election year, how convenient. In spite of the thousands of doctors and nurses speaking out against the over-reaction to this minor pandemic, and the unreasonable and skeptical resistance to inexpensive medicines, this world swamp is well on its way to destroying the lives of millions of Americans, and their ability to feed, clothe and shelter themselves and their families. The nonchalance of these lawless individuals show no consideration of what they have unleashed on the American public. It is a price they have decided the public must pay for their vision of the ‘common good’.

The rioting, violent deaths, looting, and destruction of public and private property have long since overshadowed any concern about the memory of George Floyd. Along with the COVID-19 pandemic they are the two horsemen of the Apocalypse. Both riders are cultivating anarchy upon the world, funded by globalists, toward a point in the next few months where they believe people will demand order at any price. And the price will be steep…less freedom, less prosperity, more government! These are traitors and international criminals of the highest order.

Trump established his contempt for these despots and their sycophants at the meeting of the World Economic Forum

President Trump established his contempt for these despots and their sycophants in Davos at the meeting of the World Economic Forum in January. He established himself as an enemy of their socialist autocratic vision of the world. Trump told the Davos gang in no uncertain terms that the United States will not be playing along in their desire to diminish our country to pay for the hundreds of years of self-inflicted despotic rulers of so many wretched countries with yet another group of despots.

Not two days after president Trump told Davos where to stick it, the former Nazi George Soros said it all…“The 2020 election will determine the fate of the whole world.” A month after Trump’s Davos speech the Vatican, through Jeffrey Sachs (a socialist, Vatican, and Bernie Sanders advisor) said of the United States “…it is a dangerous country right now and will continue to be a dangerous country if Trump wins reelection.”

Davos is hoping for good news to digest at their next meeting in January, 2021…that President Trump will no longer be president and the United States will be delivered to them. I am not the first, and certainly I hope not the last, to make the clarion call that we, as a nation, are in a critical place.

And so here we are, make your choice. Do we take a turn on the road to a dark place paved by traitors and foreign autocrats where your decisions are no longer yours to make, or do we continue our trek back to the greatest economy in the strongest country the world has ever known. If patriots have anything to say, and they will, the United States will stand as a beacon of hope for the rest of the world to emulate. President Trump was right; the future does not belong to globalists, but to patriots.

The time has arrived: End the National Emergency


President Trump should declare the national emergency over and done. Why? Because the vast majority of Americans are ready and eager to get back to business. When? If not immediately, then Labor Day, of course

The time has arrived: End the National Emergency

With the executive orders signed by President Trump August 8, 2020, he put into action what Congress was unable to accomplish due to intransigence of House democrats, most still hiding out in their personal, protected compounds.

Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have done their damnedest to limit and prevent America’s healing process, refusing to assist entrepreneurs and employees unless incompetent mayors are bailed-out from their self-inflicted jams.

Backing-up, it’s pertinent to examine the purpose of the national emergency proclamation made March 13. The president took the step in order to reduce the suffering caused by forced business, school and government office closures related to a perceived onslaught of a virus evidently introduced by the Chinese. It was made to free up funds to get citizens over the hump until the nation could return to “business as usual,” but it’s been used by congressional democrats to inflict as much chaos as possible.

There’s no need for further relief bills if there’s no longer an emergency

How? By slowing to a trickle assistance to actual Covid-affected victims while increasing unwarranted funding to major corporations and so-called essential services such as Planned Parenthood (which was required to return funding and has not done so). Holding up finances to the “little guy” (of whom VP pick Kamala Harris is reported to be a champion), democrats have insisted on allocating billions to bankrupt lawless cities, indirectly sponsoring the ongoing riots by creating an excuse for spineless mayors to hold onto office.

President Trump appears to have decided that enough is enough and, utilizing the powers of the executive branch under the authority of the national emergency, bypassed the obstructive democrats and took care of those who are hurting. The president used proper legislation to supply ventilators, fast-track vaccine development, etc., leaving the foot-dragging dems behind. Opposition response has been the same as always, claim the president overstepped his authority (which he didn’t) and assert they’re the ones with real solutions though they refuse to offer them.

It comes down to this: there’s no need for further relief bills if there’s no longer an emergency.

The president has implemented the last necessary aid to the public in the waning pandemic. Having done so and making note of the steady decline of cases and deaths related to the China virus, despite the inept CDC attempt to manipulate the numbers of both categories, President Trump is now free to do what he’d intended as far back as June—end the national emergency.

Why the president would and should do so is now supported on multiple fronts. With the last executive orders in place, immediate financial aid is in the works to languishing employees and strapped businesses. That being addressed, if the national emergency is lifted then states are no longer being supplied handouts for closures, most of which have been handled poorly by state officials. Businesses can re-open their doors and resume commercial activity, as it would not behoove local governments to impose lockdowns and restrictive measures for which they will no longer be allocated federal cash.

Democrat need to increase economic and political pandemonium

For those who haven’t been paying attention, the whole of the pandemic has been mainly about distribution of “Covid Cash” since mortality rates never did reach numbers in the United States that could justify classification as catastrophic. States that a few weeks ago were called hotspots—Arizona, CaliforniaTexas—are now demonstrating notable decline in positive cases, hospitalizations and mortality.

As the president noted in his address August 11, 87% of counties nationwide are reporting a steady drop in case numbers and deaths. At issue is also the continued high rate of recovery hovering around 98% of those who contract the disease. The coronavirus never was the killer media painted it to be. Even ending the national emergency, that action would not impede President Trump from continuing international flight bans, which he instituted weeks before designating a national emergency.

The second reason democrats have opposed doing away with the national emergency has been their need to increase economic and political pandemonium, thinking to position themselves for taking control of D.C. in this election year.

By instilling fear in as many Americans as possible via the corrupt press and bent scientists promoting use of ineffective health measures like mask-wearing and school closures, democrats have promoted a dread of visiting the polls in person. Ending the Covid National Emergency will end any necessity for mail-in voting other than absentee, undercutting the democrat ruse to confuse the election by flooding precincts with unverifiable ballots. A mail-in vote becomes needless and moot.

Ending the emergency also defines the real hazard confronting our nation… the anarchist takeover of major metropolitan centers. It is all a part of the planned anti-law enforcement chaos encouraged by the DNC and heavily funded by Soros Foundation-sponsored organizations. Beginning on Inauguration Day, the effort to destabilize our largest cities has gone unabated and was forced into overdrive with the George Floyd incident, Black Lives Matter and Antifa commandeering the initially nonviolent protests.

By ending the distraction of a pandemic, municipal, county, state and federal law enforcement can focus on quelling the violence, charging the perpetrators, their financiers and do-nothing government officials as accessories, bringing them to justice

By ending the distraction of a pandemic, municipal, county, state and federal law enforcement can focus on quelling the violence, charging the perpetrators, their financiers and do-nothing government officials as accessories, bringing them to justice. The other side of the chaos can also come under better scrutiny—that of illegal, democrat-led presidential coup attempts that have not abated in four years.

Let the democrats squeal that President Trump is endangering the nation, because they’ve already been proven wrong with the economy rebounding, Covid case numbers falling and vaccine efforts being fulfilled faster than expected.

Democrats have been carrying out their malicious scheme, preventing help to the working and middle class by refusing to treat with the president about what matters most—opening the country to business, worship, school and travel—instead promoting turmoil on every front. They realize chaos and division is their only road to victory. The left has never relied on orderly calm, gathering in faith or simple reason to share their stunted vision. Their preferred road to power is traveled by emotional distress, economic pain, fear and violence.

To counter the divisive efforts of the heartless democrats, President Trump should declare the national emergency over and done. Why? Because the vast majority of Americans are ready and eager to get back to business. When? If not immediately, then Labor Day, of course.

‘Comma la, Kamalot’, Whatever!


Democrats as they are Sullivan and Goodstein would rather focus on Harris’ first name than her game

‘Comma la, Kamalot’, Whatever!

The ongoing Coronavirus Lockdown leaves some folk with far too much time on their hands.

This would include Richard Goodstein, an adviser to Democratic campaigns, interviewed on on Tucker Carlson’s prime time Tuesday night Fox show and Margaret Sullivan over at the Washington Post, both in hissy fits all because Carlson got the pronunciation of Harris’ first name wrong.

Both think that there is no bigger sin than mispronouncing the name of Kamala.

Even though stridently anti-Catholic Kamala herself wouldn’t believe in mortal sin, it’s a mortal sin if you bungle the first name of “the first woman of color to be named to a major-party presidential ticket”!

Lordy, Lordy!

This is Sullivan’s blow-by-blow run-down of how Tucker “mangled” Harris’ first name:

“Tucker, can I just say one thing?” said Richard Goodstein, an adviser to Democratic campaigns. (Washington Post, Aug. 12, 2020)

“Carlson: “Of course.”

“Goodstein: “Because this will serve you and your fellow hosts on Fox. Her name is pronounced ‘comma’ — like the punctuation mark — ‘la.’ Comma-la.”

“He went on: “Seriously, I’ve heard every sort of bastardization of her —,” and then Carlson broke in: “Okay, so what?”

“With his familiar mocking laugh, Carlson demanded to know what difference it made if he pronounced it KAM-a-la, with the first syllable like “camera.” Or Ka-MILL-a. Or, properly, Comma-la.

According to Sullivan, “Tucker Carlson’s mangling of Kamala Harris’ name was all about disrespect.”

“When I was a young reporter, I had an editor who was a stickler for getting people’s middle initials correct in news stories.(WaPo)

“If you get the name wrong, there’s no reason for anyone to trust anything else you write,” he’d say.

“An extreme position? Maybe, but it is journalistic bedrock that getting names right really matters.”

The editor’s advice was obviously lost on Sullivan, who went on to work for Fake News WaPo, who get so much more than the middle initials in a person’s name wrong.

Sullivan continued:

“Which is why it was so instructive — if utterly predictable — to watch Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s handling of Kamala Harris’s slightly challenging first name on his prime-time show Tuesday, hours after presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden named the senator from California as his running mate.

“Not only did Carlson mispronounce it, but when a guest went out of his way to politely correct him, Carlson had one of his trademark fits of pique.

“Carlson’s reaction shows he has no interest in such a thing when it applies to Harris, who made history Tuesday as the first woman of color to be named to a major-party presidential ticket.

“Here’s the thing: It’s really not that hard to get Harris’s name right.

“I was pronouncing it wrong myself until sometime last year when a friend corrected me. (The friend happened to share the candidate’s ethnicity, in part, but that certainly wasn’t the only way to find out. Harris goes out of her way in her 2019 memoir to explain the pronunciation, also using the hint that it’s like the punctuation mark.)

Shame on you, if you didn’t read Harris’ 2019 memoir in which she “goes out of her way” to explain the appropriate pronunciation of her name!

“Even Biden himself doesn’t always get the pronunciation just right; he needs to figure that out, and fast. “

Would that be after basement Joe gets the date and place right?

“But with Carlson, it wasn’t really the mistake. It was his indignant refusal to stand corrected. (WaPo)

“And when you act as if proper pronunciation doesn’t matter — or isn’t worth bothering to learn — that sends a strong message.

According to Sullivan, Goodstein “was merely suggesting a modicum of respect, just a basement-level floor a decent person wouldn’t sink below.

“But for Carlson — who specializes in race-baiting, mockery and smarmy nastiness — there’s no such thing.”

Democrats as they are Sullivan and Goodstein would rather focus on Harris’ first name than her game.

Meanwhile, while Sullivan and Goodstein are trying to get Carlson to place the ‘em-fa-sis’ on the right ‘sill-a-ble’ for Harris, he’s already moved on to investigate ‘Comma-a-la’ Harris for her deadly record on the 2nd amendment.

Before this election campaign is brought to a merciful end, ‘Comma-la’s, ‘Kamalot’s’ name will be mud.

The Art of War!


The COVID Bait & Switch

QUESTION: Do you really think that the Democratic leadership is trying to hurt people?

FD

ANSWER: It is not just the Democrats. We are looking at politicians around the world. It makes no sense with such a low death rate that is equivalent to the flu and all the forecasts of Neil Ferguson have proven false that they would continue these lockdowns. It makes no sense. They are either deliberately hurting people or they have been bribed by the consortium to further the Great Reset.  I am open to any other explanation. Even moderate Democrats are not comfortable with what is taking place. This is a deliberate agenda to destroy the economy to rebuild it GREEN. The serious mistake here is that they think they can recreate the economy in their vision. They do not even know how it works.

Let us not forget that the entire justification for these lockdowns was the forecast of Ferguson who claimed 3 million Americans would be killed. The justification for masks, social distancing, and lockdowns was to save lives because the curve had to be flattened because there would be a shortage of bed space in hospitals. That NEVER took place. So why do we still have lockdowns?

This has been a bait & switch. You have an elite group cheering the destruction as an opportunity to rebuild the world economy the way they think it should run. They are threatening fund managers to divest from China in hopes of bringing them to their knees to accept their agenda. That is NOT going to succeed. We are staring in the eyes of absolute ruthless tyranny and the markets are starting to perform in anticipation of a major financial crisis.

My father was with General Patton through North Africa to Berlin. He told me it never mattered what I thought of a situation, it was always more important what you opponent believed. Patton read Rommel’s book on tactical warfare and he knew what he would do next. This lesson guides me today. You have to look at history and how humans will respond to the same set of circumstances. I have met some of these people. I have looked them straight in the eye. They are arrogant and are desperate to try to win at all costs. They are not playing. This is real.

Hydroxychloroquine Debate – Why?


 

Left – Right – Middle – Inevitable


QUESTION: Do you think the Republicans are any better than the Democrats in Washington?

SP

ANSWER: All career politicians are a problem for they lack contact with the people. Longer-term, this form of government I seriously doubt will last. This is the very same problem of corruption that infected the Roman Republic which ended in the civil war and then Imperial Rome began. If you look at Athens, there was a constant battle between the oligarchy and those who were Democrats. Representative government has never been sustainable because politicians can be bribed.

The crisis with the Democrats is confined to the leadership which is pandering to the extreme left. My father was a Democrat. Not all Democrats are evil. The vast majority are not extreme left which will make this election very interesting. Then about 10% of the people are truly independent and will swing back and forth. The middle ground Democrats and Republicans have always worked together. But make no mistake about it, all career politicians of both parties are protective and do not like outsiders. They did not like Ronald Reagan at first because he was only a governor. Note that they picked Harris for VP not that she is qualified, but that (1) she is part black, (2) a woman, and (3) a Senator so she is in the game.

All Republics die from oligarchies and become infested with corruption. They hated Trump before he even took office BECAUSE he was not one of them regardless of his comments. It has always been a closed club. My father as a lawyer who defended a client against Republican U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy in his hearings.

Had the Supreme Court simply ruled honestly that Equal Protection is not limited to race, creed, or gender, but also class, we would not have this Marxist struggle. If you bad mouth a minority it is hate speech. If you bad mouth someone who has more than the average in material wealth you are exposing an injustice. If the Supreme Court simply upheld the constitution which makes no exception based upon any grounds, we would not have this clash between the parties and reduce the class warfare which ALWAYS leads to the collapse of every Republic in history.
