Escalating Hysteria and Absurdity at Mt. Progressive

I thought when Donald J. Trump was elected president, we would begin to decline this summit of stupidity; but apparently, there is no designated elevation for Mt. Progressive. The skies the limit when it comes to their hysteria and absurdity.

President Trump cannot sneeze without raising the ire of the PC police and their representatives in Congress. Did he use a white hanky? He’s a racist! Did he snot on a rag? He’s a misogynist! Did he throw that tissue in a trash can? He’s a xenophobe!

So, it shouldn’t be a surprise when the president is denounced for voicing what many of us think, or when he gets blamed for a chant from a crowd at a rally. His detractors are willing to create controversy, or manufacture a crisis where there is none in the hopes of dinging his approval numbers. Hey, it worked on Bush, it’ll work on Trump.

So here we are, once again, having to endure another tyrant trope from the “mainstream media” simply because President Trump enunciated a time-worn truism, America: Love it or Leave it.

The following day, you would’ve thought that the commander-in-chief had effectuated a policy equivalent to the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798. His criticism of the Four Whores of Anti-Semitism where construed as an attack on the First Amendment. Fears of actual concentration camps danced in their heads, with visions of toilet water splashing their chin. Their hysteria was absolutely laughable.

The simple fact is Trump can’t do squat. Where have these people been for the past three years? He can’t enforce existing laws or policies without injunctions from an Obama judge. Congress is constantly threatening him with impeachment, and the “media” have been in constant panic mode since he won the primary in 2016. And they think Tyrant Trump is going to roundup dissenters and send them back to the hellholes from whence they came?

All I have to say is take a deep breath, strap on an oxygen tank, because we’ve got a long way to go before we reach the summit of Mt. Progressive.

Mexico and 19 Other Countries Investigating Human Smuggling Ring

What a difference tariffs make. Mexico announced they, along with 19 other countries, are coming up with a plan to stop this illegal alien invasion. This wouldn’t have happened without a strong leader like President Trump.

One of the main problems we have is a loophole, foisted upon us by an activist judge, that determined illegal alien families can only be detained for 20 days. Of course, this outrageous ruling resulted in trafficking of children. Mexico’s foreign minister is addressing this problem. Here is an excerpt from The Epoch Times:

Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard made the announcement at a June 21 press conference. Tens of thousands of mostly Central American migrants have been passing through Mexico to reach its northern border with the United States.

“We already have 19 countries we will meet in the next couple of weeks so that this plan and its actions will grow,” Ebrard said during the president’s regular morning news conference. “Now it is about developed countries participating.”

Ebrard said Mexico was investigating a network of human smugglers—including that of unaccompanied minors, which he said was on the rise—and the financing of these operations. U.S. border security officials say an unknown number of these units use fraudulent birth certificates to fake family ties.

I have no doubt, they'll find major Democratic party donors financing this crap.  That'll go a long way in explaining why they sit on their asses and refuse to do anything about this illegal alien invasion.

Transgender Illegal Aliens Get Special Treatment from Trump's Border Czar

When stupidity ingrains itself, it’s hard to get it out. Barack Obama’s presidency is a stain on the fabric of American culture. The latest absurdity, once again, has to do with our southern border and this illegal alien invasion. What is it this time? Here is an excerpt from Judicial Watch:

Immigration centers are dangerously overcrowded yet the federal agency slammed with an onslaught of migrants provides a separate unit for transgender illegal immigrants as well as costly hormone therapy and a number of other perks. Thanks to an Obama policy continued by the Trump administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) gives transgender illegal aliens special treatment, including their own detention center in New Mexico that offers hair and makeup classes, a recreation area, gym, television rooms, a lab and pharmacy. There are also meeting areas for trans detainees to consult with free legal services provided by advocacy groups. American taxpayers furnish the hormone therapy, which “is not cheap,”according to an ICE director quoted in a recent news report about the New Mexico transgender facility, which opened in 2017.

According to Judicial Watch, this Obama era policy can be reversed, but the Trump administration hasn’t done it. Is that true? Apparently, the first Homeland Security Secretary ordered changes that never took effect. So what does that tell you? That tells me, we have deep state operatives undermining the president’s policies. But then I read this excerpt:

Under guidance issued by former ICE director Tom Homan, a supposed immigration hardliner chosen by President Trump to be a border czar, transgender migrants are to be treated with white gloves. At the time Homan was ICE executive associate director and in the 18-page memo he orders the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) to let illegal immigrants self-identify with a gender different from that which corresponds with his or her biological sex or respond affirmatively during a risk assessment that he or she may be at an elevated risk in a detention setting because of his or her actual or perceived gender identity and/or gender expression. Federal officers are encouraged to use a certain script asking illegal aliens if they wish to disclose their gender identity, though they are not required to if they are “not comfortable sharing.”

So the former director, who oversaw this nonsense, is now President Trump's border czar. Let’s face the facts - it’s hard to get rid of stupid especially when the federal government is involved.

Sponsors of Welfare Funded Aliens Ordered to Pay Reparations

President Trump has a nasty surprise for all those organizations who sponsored refugees and aliens then dumped them into our communities. They, along with the alien who became a ward of the state, is about to pay reparations and we’re not going to have to wait 150 years for it. Here is an excerpt from Conservative Tribune:

On May 28, President Trump published a “Presidential Memorandum” to help enforce a policy requiring financial sponsors of immigrants to reimburse the government for benefits received by the aliens.

On Friday, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service reminded immigrants and their sponsors, Trump wasn’t joking.

“If the sponsored immigrant receives any federal means-tested public benefits, the sponsor will be expected to reimburse the benefits-granting agency for every dollar of benefits received by the immigrant,” USCIS tweeted.

It looks like this government sponsored cash cow is about to be butchered. Organizations like the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services should be having heart attacks about now. All that money they received from the federal government for dumping illegal aliens and refugees into our communities is coming home to roost. I wonder how many of these people are still on welfare, or receiving some form of taxpayer assistance. I have no doubt there is a big percentage.

And while we’re at it, why don’t local and state governments make demands as well. They were the ones who are truly burdened by these alien dumpings that LIRS and other services like them foisted upon the citizens of this country. I hope these reparations bankrupt them.

President Trump Seals off Iran in Obama's Wonderland

There were times during the Obama administration that completely mystified me. As an American, who believes in our creed, his eight year reign was an assault on common sense and decency. Everything was muddled or completely ass-backwards.

I could go on a tangent about this Alice in Wonderland era in American history; but instead, I’ll focus on one particular foreign policy issue that makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever, and that is Iran.

Iran is an implacable enemy. How do I know that? Because their regime declares it every Friday after prayers! Their buildings are covered in anti-American murals. Their leaders spew hate at every forum available, and they fund terrorist groups around the world. It’s not that difficult to understand, unless you’re a liberal.

So what kind of a moron gives an apocalyptic regime $150 billion, opens up the world’s market to them, while completely ignoring the advice of our allies in the region. Why, of course, the Obama administration and all the dunces in the State Department; that’s who.

The Iranian regime was on the cusp of prosperity without the benefit of peace. This regime couldn’t believe their fortune. Americans elected either a fool, or a traitor as president and he ended up populating our bureaucracies who are just as foolish and traitorous as he.

But luck ran out. A true American was elected president and he believes in our creed. President Donald Trump reversed this asinine policy and now the Iranian regime, along with their terrorist networks, are on the ropes. Here is an excerpt from Fox News:

Newly declassified intelligence shows that Palestinian terror group Hamas had to introduce “austerity plans” due to lack of funding from the Iranian regime.

State Department officials say the intelligence that was shared exclusively with Fox News reveals Tehran’s diminishing resources and influence within the region, prompting cutbacks among groups backed by the regime.

This comes amid a tough sanctions regime introduced by the U.S., which sent the country into a recession, with inflation topping 50 percent.

Due to lack of funding from Iran, Hamas had to introduce “austerity plans” while other Shia militia groups were told by Iran that they need to find other sources of revenue as Iran is no longer in a position to provide them the funds.

This coincided with Lebanon-based Hezbollah’s calls on social media to donate to piggy banks. The group apparently used even children to attract contributions.

Wow! Common sense shouldn’t be a surprise, but after eight years of Obama and his stupidity, one is shocked to learn we left Wonderland.

Democrats Give the "Elastic Clause" a Whole New Meaning

Democrats in the House of Representatives are giving “oversight” a whole new meaning. It’s bad enough these intellectually-challenged deadbeats have abrogated their constitutional responsibilities to bureaucrats, they now feel free to harry and harass our president on a fictitious charge of obstruction of justice. I didn’t know the “elastic clause” included making crap up; but then again, I’m not a Democrat.

News channels are littered with pundits who spew this inviolable nonsense of congressional “oversight.” What exactly is that supposed to mean? If I’m to understand this correctly, according to these geniuses, Congress’ main purpose is to monitor the executive branch that is replete with agencies they created. And why did Congress create this vast bureaucracy? Why it was to bypass Congress’ true purpose, which is to legislate.

Progressives knew what they were doing when they farmed out their responsibilities to a network of drones with the same totalitarian worldview. There is no way in hell, Progressives could impose their Marxist ideology on the American people without employing extra-constitutional means.

Now, we know why these children - masquerading as adults - are freaking out over a Trump presidency. He is a threat to their worldview; that is why Democrats are attacking this president with a fury not seen in the history of the United States. In order to move forward, they need to destroy an innocent man. These people are putting us on notice: you will not stop centralized government. Your wealth and obedience is Washington D.C.’s for the taking.

I wonder what the Framers would think about today’s interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause. There is no doubt in my mind, they would be just as horrified as the rest of us in red state, America.

President Trump to Isolate Liberal K-12 Sanitariums

In order to restore some semblance of sanity, we must get the federal government out of our classrooms. The Obama administration is a perfect example of what happens when a bunch of radicals takeover our educational system. We get a generation of thumb-sucking morons who become offended at the sight of their own shadow. We are living in ridiculous times, thanks to the Anointed One.

President Trump has recognized the problem and is trying to isolate this insanity to a few pockets of liberal-infected sanitariums.

The order, dubbed the “Education Federalism Executive Order,” will launch a 300-day review of Obama-era regulations and guidance for school districts and directs Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal measures she deems an overreach by the federal government.

“For too long the government has imposed its will on state and local governments. The result has been education that spends more and achieves far, far, far less,” Mr. Trump said. “My administration has been working to reverse this federal power grab and give power back to families, cities [and] states — give power back to localities.”

The best disinfectant for terminal liberalism is decentralization of power. Federalism is the cure-all for all things libtard.

Clapper Sings: Obama Behind Russian Hoax

James Clapper, former Director of Intelligence under the Obama administration, just ratted out the Anointed One.  This whole Russian Spygate scam was orchestrated out of the White House. Here is an excerpt:


ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: The 2017 assessment that the President says he now agrees with, that was done while you and then NCI Director John Brennan were still in office. So, how can we reconcile the President attacking you, but apparently after a very long time finally, allegedly saying — or saying he allegedly agrees with the product of the intelligence community that you, yourself oversaw?

JAMES CLAPPER: Yes, well, this is — yes, as we’ve come to know the President, he is not a stalwart for a consistency or coherence. So it’s very hard to explain that. One point I’d like to make, Anderson, that I don’t think has come up very much before, and I’m alluding now to the President’s criticism of President Obama for all that he did or didn’t do before he left office with respect to the Russian meddling. If it weren’t for President Obama, we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set off a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today, notably, special counsel Mueller’s investigation.

President Obama is responsible for that, and it was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. I think it’s an important point when it comes to critiquing President Obama.

Critiquing President Obama? This is an indictment! We need a special counsel to investigate this complete abuse of power and violation of American civil rights. People need to go to jail over this crap. And I might add, no need to compose, there is plenty to sing about.

Democrats to Hold Hearings on Fake News Crisis

Democrats are preparing congressional hearings on President Trump’s assertions that the mainstream media are fake news. Do we really need this dog and pony show? Conservatives have known about their bias for decades. But according to these dimwits in Washington D.C. any criticism of these professional propagandists is considered a constitutional crisis. They believe an attack on these slimeballs is an attack on the First Amendment, as though they are the sole proprietors on freedom of the press and speech.


These so-called journalist and their Beltway brethren are nothing more than society people. They have traded their integrity for approbation from well-connected elites. They care nothing about the truth; indeed they believe they can shape the truth as an ends to a means. These so-called professionals don’t deserve our respect. If anything they deserve our condemnation. President Trump has shown a light on this cockroach party and these pest resent being outed for the diseased vermin they are.

I happened upon a journal entry by Thoreau. I thought his post is as fitting today as it was back in 1852:


April 24. I know two species of men. The vast majority are men of society . They live on the surface ; they are interested in the transient and fleeting ; they are like driftwood on the flood. They ask forever and only the news, the froth and scum of the eternal sea . They use policy ; they make up for want of matter with manner. They have many letters to write. Wealth and the approbation of men is to them success . The enterprises of society are something final and sufficing for them. The world advises them, and they listen to its advice. They live wholly an evanescent life, creatures of circumstance. It is of prime importance to them who is the president of the day. They have no knowledge of truth, but by an exceedingly dim and transient instinct, which stereotypes the church and some other institutions . They dwell, they are ever, right in my face and eyes like gnats ; they are like motes, so near the eyes that, looking beyond, they appear like blurs; they have their being between my eyes and the end of my nose. The terra firma of my existence lies far beyond, behind them and their improvements. If they write, the best of there deal in "elegant literature ." Society, man, has no prize to offer me that can tempt me ; not one.


Shoo, Propagandists, don't bother me. You no longer have the power to persuade me and a growing number of Americans. We have seen through your veil and have witnessed your lies.

President Trump Making Halloween Great Again

Now that is awesome.

President Trump is my Favorite Barbarian

 Good times ... good times.

John F. Kerry Lectures President Trump on Diplomacy

I take umbrage at having to sit here and listen to a scumbag like John F. Kerry lecture the American people and our president on diplomacy and the interest of the United States. This is the same man who stabbed his fellow soldiers in the back during Vietnam. He then stabbed the American people in the back by brokering the worst deal in our nation’s history. This fool legitimized an Iranian terrorist regime then flew cargo planes full of cash in the dark of the night into Tehran. Where did that money come from jerkoff? Did Congress authorize that? As far as I’m concerned, John F. Kerry should be on trial for treason. But here he is on his high horse looking down his nose at a president who actually loves this country.


“Why would an American president whose first NATO meeting last year was a disaster, show up in Belgium this year just to prove he doesn’t understand how vital alliances have made a huge difference for the security of the United States and the lives of Europeans?” Kerry asked. “I’d think he might remember that it was NATO that stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States after 9/11, among many other contributions.


Does a vital alliance double-deal with NATO’s sworn enemy? I bet John F. Kerry knew about this. And I have no doubt that this Iranian fiasco was somehow connected with Germany’s energy dependence on Russia. But here is the fool spewing his sanctimonious bullshit:

“The President set America back this morning,” he continued. “He is steadily destroying our reputation in the world. He is undermining our interests. He diminishes alliances we built to safeguard an economic and strategic force that has allowed millions of people to live in freedom.”

Kerry said Trump “displays a woeful ignorance” of the work he and Obama did.

“President Obama raised the issue in a constructive and collegial way that succeeded in securing a pledge from NATO members to increase their defense spending, without undermining the cohesion of the alliance in the process,” Kerry said. “President Obama and I worked hard using effective diplomacy — not bombast and demagoguery — to secure those sanctions in the first place. So too is European energy security an important topic for allies to discuss, even when they disagree. Instead, President Trump just insults friends who have sacrificed to hold that pressure together. There’s a time, place, and manner for raising issues with allies, and trashing them on camera in a way that calls into question the alliance itself isn’t it.”

He added: “What was on display in Brussels today was not the behavior of a strong, principled, and wise leader. Enough. This isn’t good for the United States and there are people across the aisle — as the Senate vote yesterday clearly showed — who know it and need to say it.”


No, Mr. Kerry it was the Obama administration that destroyed America’s reputation and interest throughout the world. Take note moron: no one respects a world leader who bows and scrapes before a foreign potentate. No one respects a leader who spits on his own country and people. No one respects an ally who forsakes them while embracing an enemy.


We don’t need lectures from the likes of a John F. Kerry. Go back into your hole, scumbag. You’re not wanted here.

Liberals Equate President Trump's Rhetoric with Their Bullying

How dare liberals compare President Trump’s rhetoric to these whacked out liberals who’re harassing and threatening Republican politicians and officials. I know it’s a shock we finally have a president who’ll stick up for himself. God knows, conservatives suffered through eight years of George W. Bush. That man was the mainstream media’s pinata. Trump refuses to be their bitch and they can’t handle it.

Since when has self-defense become belligerence? Does anyone remember President Barack Obama’s war cry, “If they bring a knife, we bring a gun” ? I didn’t hear outrage from the media about that.

I have a question, did Republicans confront liberals in the public square and provoke a fight? Did we surround Lois Lerner’s house for harassing the Tea Party? How many Obama officials were kicked out of restaurants and theaters for their acts of hostility to the American people? None!


The editors at the Charlotte Observer have the audacity to equate President Trump’s rhetoric with the lawless behavior of liberals. Here is an excerpt:

It might also seem necessary to liberals to take such drastic action in the face of an administration that tears children from parents, and a president who so often disregards decency. So said congresswoman Maxine Waters to a California crowd over the weekend. “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters urged.

But such behavior shouldn't feel satisfying, and it's not necessary. It's liberals trying to beat Donald Trump by becoming Donald Trump.

It wasn't long ago that these same Democrats fretted about Trump's crassness and willingness to demean anyone who dared disagree with him. They and we worried that his bullying would do more harm to political discourse, and that's exactly what's happening, as nastiness has bled from the political fringe into the political mainstream.


Certainly, that's been encouraged by members and supporters of the Trump administration, who regularly ridicule the press and political opponents. All the more reason to punch back, say progressives, who contend that the only way to defeat Trump is to fight bile with bile. But that's not true, as liberals themselves showed last week by getting Trump to back down from his policy of separating immigrant children from parents at the border. How'd they do it? By shining a light on injustice, by flooding social media, by swaying public opinion and eventually Republicans in Washington with the force and volume of their voices.


The editors at the Charlotte Observer are delusional. I got news for these morons, you didn’t win. These illegal aliens weren’t released into the general population, which is what libtards want. Nice try.


You gotta love it. These people are the bullies and they don’t see it. We have suffered through their thuggish behavior for decades and when we finally have a president who refuses to have sand kicked in his face, they consider him a bully.


Yeah, I don’t think so.

Liberals Project their Character Traits onto Conservatives

Wow. The moonbats in the mainstream media have lost their minds. They can’t accept the fact they’ve been exposed for propagandist. What’s hilarious is they’re projecting their character traits upon conservatives who’re merely refuting their assertions. We have the facts and they have nothing but deceit and emotion.

The latest from the Charlotte Observer’s editorial board is hilarious. Isaac J. Bailey is in need of therapy and some heavy duty soul searching. I believe the diagnosis would be denial. Here is an excerpt from his emotional tirade:

Congratulations on your pyrrhic victories.

All it cost you was your integrity.

All you had to do was make a man who rose to national political prominence on open bigotry president of the United States.

And relinquish all credible claims of being the party of family values and faith.

And embrace policies that include stealing children from their parents, and maybe forever separating them.

And excuse a diabolical level of lying and misdirection.

And declare that morality and character and principles no longer matter.

You’ve mistaken bombast for bravery, cruelty for toughness, mockery as plain talk.

You’ve criminalized the desperation of the poor and oppressed and weaponized your fear.

You’ve demanded civil discourse in service of the uncivil and inhumane.

And you can’t even see it.


Was Mr. Bailey looking in the mirror when he wrote this screed? This is laughable. How dare this fool lecture us on morality and civil discourse when leftist all over the country are hunting and shouting down conservatives.


I don’t recall any moral outrage from the Charlotte Observer when the Obama administration wiped their ass on our Constitution and committed all sorts of felonies that we’re dealing with to this day. I guarantee you, hadn’t Donald Trump won the election we wouldn’t know about the crimes the Obama administration committed.



And how is it that Mr. Bailey can compartmentalize laws that were enacted during the Clinton administration and were practiced by Obama’s, but somehow demonizes President Trump. A liberal federal judge imposed this “consent decree” in 1997, whereby illegal alien families are to be separated. I didn’t hear this fool bitching about this then. And he dares lecture us on integrity?


I will agree with him on the following:

We are amid a reckoning. We are deciding who we want to be.

You must pick a side; each of us has to pick a side. None of us is exempt.

Choose wisely. But first make sure that decision is being made by the best part of you, not the worst.


My side believes in the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law; your’s is mob rule and the ends justifies the means. 

Oh, there will be a day of reckoning, and I believe both sides are looking forward to it.

President Trump's Kiddie Concentration Camps

America the terrible! How dare President Trump protect our borders. Who in the hell does he think he is, the commander in chief? Oh, the humanity! Progressives are shocked that a politician is actually following through on his promise to enforce our immigration laws. I guess those laws weren’t so inhumane at the time of passage.


Listening to this rhetoric, you’d think President Trump invaded the Third World, rounded up their children, installed them into kiddie concentration camps, so we can conduct experiments on them. Just take a look at your local rag and count how many editorials and op-eds are about this manufactured atrocity. These people are absolutely shameless.





President Trump has exposed progressive hypocrisy in more ways than one. This faux outrage on illegal alien families just happens to be the latest. The game is up. We know what these people are about: Politicians will pass a law with provisions they want implemented while at the same time laden it with all sorts of promises to appease the potato eaters with no intention of enforcement. They have taken us for suckers far too long.


The genius of President Trump is his ability to expose these frauds. I don’t believe we’ve ever had a leader like him.

President Trump Proposes Abolition of All Tariffs at E7 Summit

President Trump gave the E7 leaders an offer they’ll most definitely refuse: a complete abolition of all tariffs. I can just imagine an audible gasp from these blowhard hypocrites.

President Trump reportedly asked world leaders at the Group of Seven Summit on Friday to consider "no tariffs" at all amid growing tensions over the administration's trade moves.

Politico, citing officials who listened and took notes of the discussions, reported that Trump told assembled world leaders that “we should at least consider no tariffs, no barriers — scrapping all of it."

The newspaper reported that the idea was challenged by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is hosting the summit in Quebec.

"What about subsidies?” the Canadian leader reportedly asked.

Politico reported that leaders present for the meeting took Trump's suggestion as largely rhetorical.

Yeah, that’s one way to dismiss it.

Democrats are a Menace to the American Creed

I woke up this morning, poured a cup of coffee, took a look outside and beheld serenity.  The city wasn’t clouded in smoke, fire and mayhem.  Citizens weren’t running around screaming the “end times are here!”  Illegal aliens weren’t hiding in the shadows fearing justice might befall them and their families.  It was business as usual in flyover country.


But in Washington D.C., our self-proclaimed “overlords” are running around with their hair on fire.  The country is in peril!  What will happen to the American people if the government shuts down?  How will the minions survive without the guiding hand of a federal bureaucrat?!


As far as I’m concerned, the country - that means American citizens outside the Beltway - need a respite from Washington D.C.  If anything, the Trump administration has shown that the real menace and impediment to peace and prosperity is the Democratic Party.


Since our founding, the United States has had numerous recessions and depressions.  We’ve had over two hundred years of practical experience to draw from.  We no longer have to depend on economic theories to divine practical prosperity.  What we do need is an American reclamation project in the federal government and institutions of higher learning.


King Obama could have learned from the failures of FDR and the Great Depression; but he didn't.  He, like Roosevelt, thought his pen, phone and sizable ego could manhandle prosperity with regulations and dictates.  To hell with capitalism, the Democratic Party and its cronies will demand regimentation, conformity and the country will accept malaise and a declining middle class.


I can say with confidence, President Trump accomplished more in one year than Obama did in eight.  The keystone for this bridge to prosperity was a reduction in regulations and a tax code that rewards investment in businesses instead of Washington D.C.’s black holed coffers.  Once again, history is the guiding hand from maliase to revival.


The Panic of 1837 ushered in America’s first great depression.  The fault, of course, was government exuberance and expenditures; not the federal, but states were the main drivers of this economic calamity.  States went on an infrastructure binge that was heavily financed through bonds bought primarily by foreign investors.  They eventually overextended themselves which ended in defaults and outright repudiation of debts.  A general distrust of markets, businesses and government entities brought about a decade of stagnation and malaise.


This depression brought about a reformation in the way states operated and raised revenue.  Constitutions were amended and extreme restrictions were proscribed on borrowing and spending.  These actions allowed states to pay off their debts which assuaged foreign investors.


Another factor that brought an end to America’s first depression was an infusion of wealth from the goldfields of California.  I kind of liken this to the Republican tax reforms that allowed American businesses to repatriate corporate money from foreign countries at a lower tax rate.  We’re already seeing the benefits from a common sense policy that puts people and businesses before Washington D.C. politicians and their teat squawking cronies.  Employees are receiving bonuses and raises.  Companies are expanding their workforce and are investing here at home.  Once again, Americans are feeling good about themselves and their futures. 






This tale of national loss and redemption has been repeated time after time, and for some reason we fail to learn from past mistakes.  Here is an excerpt from Alasdair Roberts book:


In a sense, there was a parallel between the economic and non-economic aspects of the crises.  The key feature of a financial panic is the sudden dissolution of trust within the business community.  With the collapse of trust, the vast and delicate web of commercial transactions collapses and economic activity grinds to a halt.  As the economy declines, however, the breakdown of trust becomes more general.  Legislators and political executives stop trusting one another.  Politicians who are bound by partisan or legislative compacts stop trusting one another.  Employers and workers, landlords and  tenants, neighbors of different races and ethnicities - all stop trusting one another.  Even among nations, trust declines and is displaced by rancor and antagonism.  An initial problem of decaying commercial trust degenerates into a broader and more difficult problem of decaying societal and inter-societal trust.


Democrats are masters at sowing division and discontent.  Rancor and discord is the keystone to their success.  Their success is dependent upon the size and scope of the federal government and its tentacles into our daily lives.  Make no mistake, they do not consider the United States as the country.  Washington D.C. and the federal government is their country.  And for them to prosper, they must demagogue the American creed and citizens who believe in it.  Hence, the insistence of a general amnesty for third-world invaders who subscribe to their centrist, one-party ideals.

FBI and DOJ Colluded to Overthrow a Presidential Election

Future historians will look back at the Obama administration and determine that it was the most corrupt this country has ever seen. We are getting daily reports on the shenanigans of political operatives in both the FBI and the Justice Department colluding to overthrow a presidential election.

The latest shoe to drop is an associate deputy attorney general has a wife who works at Fusion GPS, the very firm that commissioned this fake Russian dossier, and that he met with the author behind the “piss party.” Here is an excerpt from Hot Air.com:


Contacted by Fox News, investigators for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) confirmed that Nellie H. Ohr, wife of the demoted official, Bruce G. Ohr, worked for the opposition research firm last year. The precise nature of Mrs. Ohr’s duties – including whether she worked on the dossier – remains unclear but a review of her published works available online reveals Mrs. Ohr has written extensively on Russia-related subjects. HPSCI staff confirmed to Fox News that she was paid by Fusion GPS through the summer and fall of 2016.


Fusion GPS has attracted scrutiny because Republican lawmakers have spent the better part of this year investigating whether the dossier, which was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, served as the basis for the Justice Department and the FBI to obtain FISA surveillance last year on a Trump campaign adviser named Carter Page…

It doesn’t end there. The current FBI director is refusing to handover documents to Congress. Kimberly Strassel, a real reporter, argued the real obstruction is occuring over at the FBI and the DOJ.


She pointed out that FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to hand over classified documents to the House Judiciary Committee, despite the fact that the committee has primary oversight authority over the Justice Department, the FBI and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.


"They've continued to stonewall Congress for months now," Strassel said.

"There appears to be an enormous effort by the Justice Department and FBI to not come clean about their actions in 2016," she added.


And for good reason. I believe this two institutions will never recover if the American people find out the truth of what they did and are currently doing.
