Don’t be fooled by Donald the bully. As I said before, he is a tyrant just like Obama. He is an example of the ugliest of the ugliness of politics and politicians that all reasonable people want to be rid of. His only value now is that he is telling you openly how the tyranny of the oligarchy works. Trump’s behavior is the same as Obama, Clinton and their cronies. Essentially, Trump is asking Americans, are you going to blame the john or the prostitute? Trump’s argument is that as a businessman he had no choice but to buy politicians. Trump says he gives to all of them. But, that is NOT OK. That is wrong. There is another choice and a better choice.
BRETT BAIER: “When you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do?”
TRUMP: “You’d better believe it…as a businessman, I give to everybody. When they call, I give.”
“And do you know what?”
“When I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them, they are there for me.”
RUBIO responded, “Actually, to be clear, he supported Charlie Crist.” (Rubio’s competitor for Rubio’s Senate seat.)
Trump claims he is a fighter and apparently many Americans believe that, so far. But Trump is not a fighter, he is a bully and runner. Bullies don’t fight unless they have an overwhelming advantage, and when they don’t, they run. If the GOP does not support him, Trump will take his ball and go elsewhere. Trump can’t argue his case like everyone else is expected to do. “You just don’t get it,” Trump says. That’s an ad hominem attack on his fellow candidates on stage, the moderator and the voters. He just gave you his middle finger salute. Trump’s response is to run away from logical argument and facts unless they suit him. I am going to take my ball and go home, Trump is saying. This is the same bullying as Obama’s threatening Congress and Americans, ‘If you don’t like my nuke agreement, then there will be war.”
Don’t be fooled again America.

President Obama’s Clean Power Plan is built upon a pack of lies. This I know because for the past two decades I have read and published reviews of literally thousands of peer-reviewed scientific papers that show rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations have little impact on global climate. These reviews, along with some of my own original research, are archived on the CO2 Science website, http://www.co2science.org, as well as in the 2013 publication Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science. This massive collection of papers definitively refutes the narrative President Obama is attempting to sell America and the rest of the world; for there is nothing unusual, unnatural or unprecedented about the planet’s current level of warmth, extreme weather events are not increasing, and the net impact of rising temperatures is to actually save human lives.

Furthermore, it is equally disingenuous of the President and his Administration to characterize CO2 as a “pollutant.” Carbon dioxide is a well-known aerial fertilizer, and many thousands of studies have proven the growth-enhancing, water-saving and stress-alleviating benefits it provides for the biosphere, which benefits were recently summarized in the 2014 publication Climate Change Reconsidered II: Biological Impacts…

The Obama Administration should be fully aware of all of these truths. Copies of both Climate Change Reconsidered publications have been submitted to the EPA and other government agency officials over the years in one form or another. Sadly, however, rather than acknowledging these verities, the Administration has been hell-bent on disregarding them. This is where the real story lies and where the debate should be centered; for how in the world can a substance so beneficial and essential to life on Earth be so incorrectly demonized and regulated as a pollutant when literally thousands of scientific measurements and observations indicate otherwise?

Clearly, the people behind these actions care little for the truth, little for fossil fuels, little for affordable energy and little for the millions of unfortunate people who will suffer the negative consequences of the President’s misguided plan.

Contrary to the claims of President Obama, based on this study published in Lancet, a respected British medical journal,

“it seems pretty clear that any successful attempt to reverse or slow any potential increase in Earth’s mean global temperature would likely come at a net cost of many human lives the world over, not a savings as President Obama recently claimed.” …”Based on data pertaining to a total of 74,225,200 human deaths that occurred between 1985 and 2012, the 23 researchers determined that 7.71% of the lives lost were caused by non-optimum temperatures; and among this group they found that “more temperature-attributable deaths were caused by cold (7.29%) than by heat (0.42%)”  http://www.co2science.org/articles/V18/aug/a11.php

“…the Clean Power Plan rules [being implemented by the Obama administration] will affect climate by less than two-hundredths of a degree Celsius by 2100, an amount so miniscule that it’s nearly impossible to measure.” but cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

Whether you like or hate Donald Trump, this article is well worth the read…..

Why Obama and Hillary Must Stop Donald Trump at All Costs

By WAYNE ALLYN ROOT

Someone is getting very nervous. Obama. Valerie Jarrett. Eric Holder. Hillary Clinton. Jon Corzine to name just a few. And I know why.

I wrote a book entitled, The Murder of the Middle Class about the unholy conspiracy between big government, big business and big media. They all benefit by the billions from this partnership and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another. It’s one for all, and all for one.

It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich. Everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. Were the patsies.

But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. I’ve never seen them this outraged, this vicious, this motivated, this coordinated. NEVER in all my years in politics, have I seen anything like the way the mad dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

When white extremist David Dukes ran for Governor of Louisiana even he wasn’t treated with this kind of outrage, vitriol and disrespect. When a known fraud, scam artist and tax cheat like Al Sharpton ran for President, I never saw anything remotely close to this. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened like never before.

Why? Because David Duke was never going to win. Al Sharpton was never going to win. Ron Paul was never going to win. Ross Perot was never going to win as a third party candidate. None of those candidates had the billion dollars it takes to win the presidency. But Donald Trump can self-fund that amount tomorrow and still have another billion left over to pour into the last two week stretch run before election day.

No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business and political elite understand that Donald Trump is no joke and could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.

It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy Donald. No this is a coordinated conspiracy led by President Barack Obama himself. Obama himself is making the phone calls and giving the orders- the ultimate intimidator who plays by the rules of Chicago thug politics.

Why is this so important to Obama? Because most of the other politicians are part of the old boys club. They talk big, but in the end they won’t change a thing. Why? Because they are all beholden to big money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, multi-national corporations like Big Pharma or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock stock and barrel by foreigners- like George Soros owns Obama, or foreign governments own Hillary with their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But one man- and only one man- isn’t beholden to anyone. One man doesn’t need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Autoworkers, or the Teachers Union, or the SEIU, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why Boehner and McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet they’ve never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal Executive Action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

Well first, I’d guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs or secretly gay or stealing taxpayer money the NSA knows everything.
Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money, from his own bank account. Trust me- the NSA, SEC, IRS and all the other 3-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They know everything.

Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists. So they are scared to ever criticize Obama, or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.

Fourth, why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you’re a good boy you’ve got a $5 million dollar per year lobbying job waiting.

The big money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose they win.

But Donald Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice cozy relationship between big government, big media and big business. All the rules are out the window if Donald wins the presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides. But not Donald.

Remember Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate. He questioned Obamas college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.

Now he’s doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do- question our relationship with Mexico question why the border is wide open, questioning why no wall has been built across the border, questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests, questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes yet are not deported, questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Donald Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick? Good question.

I’m certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michele Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare web sites. By the way that tab is now up to $5 billion.

Trump will ask if Obamacare’s architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. He will ask if Obama himself committed fraud when he said, If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.

Trump will investigate Obama’s widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama’s college records.

Trump will prosecute Hillary Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover-up Benghazi before the election.

How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election.

Obama, the multi-national corporations and the media need to stop this. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Donald could wake a sleeping giant.

Trumps election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Donald would dare to prosecute. Donald Trump will not hesitate. Once Donald gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama’s records, the game is over. The gig is up. The goose is cooked.

Eric Holder could wind up in prison. Valerie Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Jon Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.

Hillary Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State or for misplacing $6 billion as head of State Department or for lying about Benghazi.

The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison. Obamacare will be defunded and dismantled. The Obama Crime Family will be prosecuted for crimes against the American people. And Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters.

Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved just for fun. That will all happen on Trump’s first day in the White House.

Who knows what Donald will do on day #2?

That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump. That’s why we must all support Donald. This may be our only shot at saving America, uncovering the crimes committed against our nation and prosecuting all of those involved.

Jeb Bush is compromised, unacceptable.  His progressive positions on Common Core, his support of abortion, his support of NSA spying on all Americans, his support of amnesty are all unacceptable and out of step with the American people.  In addition to being on the board (until he announced his candidacy) of progressive billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s foundation, which donated tens of millions of dollars to abortion providers and supports Common Core, little know, Jeb Bush has a troubling past including being the conduit for his fathers’s Iran – Contra drugs for arms trade and shady banking deals.  Oh my.  As I said a couple of years ago when his mother told him not to run, Jeb is running in the wrong party.

Jeb Bush’s Tangled Past

Free Market Libertarians (which usually includes me as well as experts like Milton Friedman) with our emphasis on individual liberty suggests that everybody in the world should have the opportunity to rise as high as their talents and energy allow, without the restriction of borders. However, as Roy Beck at NumbersUSA illustrates in his very popular videos, the impact this would have is negligible at best, and at worse, prevents real solutions for third world poverty.

“You cannot simultaneously have a welfare state and free immigration.” –Milton Friedman.

“According to Free-Market Libertarians, it is not right to deny consumers the opportunity for lower-cost goods that might arise from the free flow of lower-cost goods and labor from other countries. Neither is it right to restrict the owners of capital from the additional profits that might be gained from cross-border movements of goods and labor. And, thus, it is not right to protect the workers of one country from wage and job losses due to competition of foreign workers through either trade or immigration barriers. However, restricting the access of the lower-wage foreign worker from jobs in this country not only would deny that worker the right to upward economic mobility, it would deny American owners the right to further upward mobility for themselves.” ~ NumbersUSA

Open borders and thus free immigration are theoretically a good thing in a free market economy. But, we don’t have free market economies in America, in Europe, in Mexico, in China or anywhere really. America is a welfare state. Open borders and free immigration are incompatible with the welfare state; this is reality, not theory.

Can we stop the welfare state and instead allow open borders? America and the world are already on the welfare train and we are stuck on that train until its inevitable crash. Even in the best scenario, it is a huge crash.  Let’s try to not make it worse.

Welfare is not only the hundreds of billions of dollars borrowed each year (new debt) in new federal, state and municipal “entitlement” payments for food stamps, medicaid, disability, jails, unemployment, social services, tax credits for children for illegal aliens, etc. Welfare also includes the hundreds of billions of dollars borrowed each year (new debt) by government on behalf of citizens to pay farmers for not growing certain crops or animals or to reduce the export price of their crops or animals, and the hundreds of billions of dollars borrowed (new debt) by government on behalf of citizens to fund windmills, solar farms, climate research, carbon sequestration and other “green” corporations, new weapons systems, Ex-Im Bank, and gifts to the UN and other countries and the hundreds of billions of newly borrowed dollars (new debt) each year to fund the growing government bureaucracy itself. Welfare is also the billions of dollars borrowed (new debt) each year to pay pensions and healthcare for retired employees at all levels of bloated government. All of that and more are welfare.

We are living in President LB Johnson’s Great Society, a vision from the 1960’s. It is a system that is almost universally recognized to be economically unsustainable.

Welfare is nothing more and nothing less than money borrowed by politicians in your name and put in politicians hands with which they buy votes for themselves to increase their power and keep themselves in office. LBJ knew that. Today, Congress, the Presidents and the courts are institutionally unable to stop themselves, it is a system-wide addiction to spending and cronyism.

Bringing more people into this country increases welfare payouts, basically accelerating the train to its inevitable crash and making that crash worse for everybody. Or another analogy: lifeboat America is already sinking. Bringing more people on board will sink it faster. An Article V Convention of the States (as described in the Constitution) is required to haul the federal government back to the original Constitution. It takes time to get enough states on board.

“The Case Against Immigration, The moral, economic, social, and environmental reasons for reducing U.S. immigration back to traditional levels.” Here is the entire book as a pdf file.     https://www.numbersusa.com/sites/default/files/public/from_drupal5/pdf/TheCaseAgainstImmigration-RoyBeck.pdf

This report details how the Obama Administration has carried out a policy of de facto amnesty for millions of illegal aliens through executive policy decisions. Since taking office in 2009, the Obama Administration has systematically gutted effective immigration enforcement policies, moved aggressively against state and local governments that attempt to enforce immigration laws, and stretched the concept of “prosecutorial discretion” to a point where it has rendered many immigration laws meaningless. Remarkably, the Administration has succeeded in doing all this with barely a peep of protest from Congress.http://www.fairus.org/DocServer/Obama_Enforcement_Report.pdf

“To provide clarity, the difference between an immigrant and an illegal alien is comparable to the difference between a houseguest and a burglar.” …”The “Gang of Eight” Can’t See Straight”

“Furthermore, it is impossible to understand how the Gang of Eight has utterly ignored the fact that there is virtually no integrity to the process by which aliens are granted lawful status and U.S. citizenship under the current circumstances. Aliens who are applying to participate in the “DREAM Act” program cobbled together by the President without the consent of Congress are not being interviewed in person.” … “It is beyond comprehension that the current administration, the Gang of Eight and others are utterly ignoring the findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Report that provided an in-depth analysis of how the terrorists who attacked our nation on September 11, 2001 were able to enter the United States in the first place and then manage to game the immigration benefits program, which enabled them to embed themselves in our country.”

“Some commentators have attributed Barack Obama’s many foreign policy disasters to incompetence. But he has been politically savvy enough to repeatedly outmaneuver his opponents in America. For example, the Constitution makes it necessary for the President to get a two-thirds majority in the Senate to make any treaty valid. Yet he has maneuvered the Republican-controlled Congress into a position where they will need a two-thirds majority in both Houses to prevent his unilaterally negotiated agreement from going into effect — just by not calling it a treaty.”

“If he is that savvy at home, why is he so apparently incompetent abroad? Answering that question may indeed require us to “think the unthinkable,” that we have elected a man for whom America’s best interests are not his top priority.” ~ Thomas Sowell, PhD. Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

Social progress requires individual freedom to choose.  Social progress is reversed or destroyed by government, collective, consensus or media action to suppress individual choice.  Tyranny requires suppression of the individual’s right to choose.  None are more hopelessly enslaved by tyranny than those who believe government, media, consensus or community can provide dignity or honor.  Dignity and honor are characteristics of individuals who are honest with themselves first and then honest with those around them, and they choose on that basis, regardless the collective, consensus, government or media pressure around them.  No other person or institution can bestow dignity or honor.  The country is beyond the point of peaceful return when the majority believes they are choosing social justice.  Punished for flying one symbol but celebrated for flying another, you have been conquered by division.  What did you expect?  That is what community organizers do.  “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! — I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” ~ Patrick Henry, 1775.
