The research is in. America is an oligarchy
America is an oligarchy (like Orwell’s 1984), not an anarchy (like Golding’s Lord of the Flies), confirmed by research studies at Princeton and Northwestern. Rich people had a much bigger impact on policy decisions than middle-income and poor Americans, even though there are 100 times more middle class and lower class citizens. Lower-income groups, and the interest groups that represent them, appear to have little or no independent impact on policy.
“Our analyses suggest that majorities of the American public actually have little influence over the policies our government adopts,” said researchers Gilens and Page.
So, go ahead and vote for incumbents. {heavy sarcasm}

Russia did it

The soul of America is conflicted. That is the intention and has been the goal of divide-and-conquer identity politics since the beginning of the 20th century. The Russians did it, though today precious few have studied enough to know that.
This crisis is intentionally psychological, unfolding in the minds and hearts of the people. That is how you conquer a nation without firing a shot. This is the true purpose of so-called “social justice,” “progressives” and what passes for “liberal.” Instead of taking this crisis and its ramifications seriously, mainstream media, journalists, politicians, academics and businesses are using it to build their constituencies and fill their wallets…snake oil salesmen…useful idiotes.
As Lenin said, ‘They are selling the rope with which we will hang them.’
“They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.” ~ Tomas Schuman explained.
“People are not embracing collectivism because they have accepted bad economics. They are accepting bad economics because they have embraced collectivism.” ~ Ayn Rand, who had firsthand knowledge of their nefarious strategy.
——————
Tomas Schuman was an alias for Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov (Russian: Ю́рий Алекса́ндрович Безме́нов; 1939 – 1993). He was a Soviet journalist for RIA Novosti and a former KGB informant who defected to Canada where he became an anti-communist writer. RIA Novosti was Russia’s international news agency until 2013 and continues to be the name of a state-operated domestic Russian-language news agency. ~ Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Bezmenov

“To Defend America, Don’t Overreach.” Stop the wars.
William Ruger of the Charles Koch Institute in the New York Times blasting the Bush/Cheney/Brzezinski/CFR’s Iraq War, Obama/Clinton’s Libya war and regime change wars in general, as well as Trump’s military actions.
“This means no more Iraqs, no more Libyas and no more sending “government in a box” to the distant provinces of Afghanistan while needs at home are neglected. It means accepting that not every bad thing that happens in the world threatens our interests or merits the investment of American lives and dollars. It also asks us to acknowledge that Washington’s good intentions aren’t enough, and that it’s all too easy to make problems worse for those we try to help.” More here…

Opening the American mind
Being tolerant feels good, until millions of foreigners enter your nation and expect you to foot the bill. Being multicultural is wonderful until muslims waving Islamic State flags settle in your town and begin eyeing your daughter and your wife. Being anti-war feels righteous, until you receive a bomb alert to take shelter that says it’s not a test. Tolerance is being replaced by prejudice, and that’s a good exchange when the prejudice is based on natural law and facts. Multiculturalism is being replaced by patriotism, and that’s a good exchange when you have finally realized that your culture and values are superior to those which are diluting yours beyond recognition. Community spirit and social justice are being replaced by a greater drive for self-preservation and self-advancement, and it’s an enlightenment when you have finally realized the unintended consequences of trusting a village to raise your kids and the best deals are the ones you made for yourself and your family with another soul who did the same.

According to the Inspector General of the US Treasury, an audit of one years IRS federal taxes (2010) reveals that checks paid by Treasury to illegal workers (tax credits for children) exceeded all IRS taxes paid by illegal workers by $4 billion. That is only one year and one line item, not all welfare received. In 2010 there were 3.02 million tax returns filed by illegals. They paid $870 million in tax plus $976.64 million in withholding tax. They were refunded $4.93 billion and they were PAID $4.00 BILLION in checks for child care tax credits. 73% of the returns had refunds with no tax and 72% received checks for tax credits. That is 3.02 million returns resulted in 2.18 million illegal workers receiving $4.0 billion. See page 20 in the Inspector General’s report here. https://www.treasury.gov/…/2011reports/201141061fr.pdf

Obama/Holder followed the rules
“Always accuse your victim of what you yourself are doing.” ~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, communist revolutionary. Before Saul Alinsky was giving out rules to radicals on how to destroy a society, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was doing it.
FBI: The Obama Administration Purged 500,000 Fugitives From the Gun Background Check System. Prosecution for crimes committed with firearms declined 25% during the Obama administration.
During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week on Capitol Hill, FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich revealed the Obama Justice Department purged more than 500,000 fugitives from the federal gun background check system.
“It’s my understanding that under federal law fugitives cannot legal purchase or possess guns. We heard from local law enforcement that the Justice Department has issued a memo that forced the FBI NICS background check data base to drop more than 500,000 names of fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants because it was uncertain whether those fugitives fled across state lines. Mr. Bowdich can you describe why this determination was made by the Justice Department?” Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein asked.
“That was a decision that was made under the previous administration. It was the Department of Justice’s Legal Counsel that reviewed the law and believed that it needed to be interpreted so that if someone was a fugitive in a state, there had to be indications they had cross state lines. Otherwise they were not known to be a fugitive under the law in the way it was interpreted,” FBI Deputy Director Bowdich responded.

“He fights” by Evan Douglas Sayet
My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #Never Trumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum.
They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.” Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency. We tried statesmanship.
Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain? We tried propriety: has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney? And the results were always the same.
This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.
I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds simply because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.
I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”
The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ’60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one of the violent take-over of the universities till today.
The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety. With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ‘s first wartime president in the Culture War.
During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.
Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights…”
General George Patton was a vulgar-talking son-of-a-bitch. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.
Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastard, I read your book!” That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics.
That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis. It is a book of such pure evil, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted.
Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” (and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri) Trump isolated CNN. He made it personal.
Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.” … Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. … They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve.
It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.. Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church. Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.
So, to my friends on the Left and the #Never Trumpers as well: do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do. These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.
So, say anything you want about this president – I get it – he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this warrior. He fights for America! Fight on you magnificent bastard

Private property
“That initial premise is that each of us owns himself. Stated another way: I am my private property and you are yours. The institution of private property is the right held by the owner of property to keep, acquire, dispose, and exclude from use. The premise of self-ownership determines which human acts are moral or immoral and consistent with that premise. For example, rape, murder, slavery, fraud, and theft are immoral because they violate private property.”
~ Prof. Walter E. Williams, American economist, commentator, and academic. He is the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University.

The Settled Science of Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming Violates the Laws of Physics
The Settled Science of Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming Violates the Laws of Physics, by Charles R Anderson, PhD.
“As I have shown, the settled science represented by the NASA Earth Energy Budget is nonsense science. It is self-contradictory in numerous ways. It violates the Conservation of Energy. It violates the transport of energy between objects of different temperatures by thermal radiation. These are simple problems clearly and easily observed. Given the huge expenditures of federal funds, United Nations funds, and the funds of many governments of developed nations around the world on issues relating to the catastrophic man-made global warming hypothesis, it is impossible to believe that there are not many scientists who are aware of these violations of physics and reality.”

Impact of Current Climate Proposals by Bjorn Lomborg.
In return for a mere $1.5 TRILLION per year…
…if we measure the impact of every nation fulfilling every [carbon reduction] promise by 2030, the total temperature reduction will be 0.048°C (0.086°F) by 2100.
Even if we assume that these promises would be extended for another 70 years, there is still little impact: if every nation fulfills every promise by 2030, and continues to fulfill these promises faithfully until the end of the century, and there is no ‘CO₂ leakage’ to non-committed nations, the entirety of the Paris promises will reduce temperature rises by just 0.17°C (0.306°F) by 2100.
US climate policies, in the most optimistic circumstances, fully achieved and adhered to throughout the century, will reduce global temperatures by 0.031°C (0.057°F) by 2100.
EU climate policies, in the most optimistic circumstances, fully achieved and adhered to throughout the century, will reduce global temperatures by 0.053°C (0.096°F) by 2100.
China climate policies, in the most optimistic circumstances, fully achieved and adhered to throughout the century, will reduce global temperatures by 0.048°C (0.086°F) by 2100.
The rest of the world’s climate policies, in the most optimistic circumstances, fully achieved and adhered to throughout the century, will reduce global temperatures by 0.036°C (0.064°F) by 2100.
