The Advocates of Socialism
Jan 16, 2021 Commentary, Political, Tyranny
The advocates of Socialism come in four general flavors:
1. The Envious. They want what achievers have, less the effort. They see the lifestyles they want to live, but do not want to put the time, effort, or personal investment necessary to create those lifestyles. They want assets (houses or apartments, cars, phones, computers, etc.) that others saved for—right now. They see what their parents took decades to achieve, with step-by-step incremental improvement, today. No waiting. It’s their right. Or something.
2. The Underemployed. This includes those with student loan debt that far exceeds what their career field pays to support. If you got a degree at (borrowed) $50K/year to work a job that pays $25K/year, that is a tough economic reality for the next 10 years or so. These folks want student loans forgiven (taxpayer paid), even though the taxpayer did not take out the loans, choose the major, choose the school, or benefit from the education. This also includes those that were convinced they could be artists, poets, song writers, singers, dancers, whatever, but they found out there is little market for their brand of art. (If their art was in demand, they leave this group, because they can afford the student loan payments). These are also the folks that want others to pay for their health care insurance, because it is expensive.
3. The Underachievers. These are the folks that coast. Hard work, dedication to a job or company over time, and self-improvement are for others, not them. Unlike The Envious, who are materialistic but lazy, this group doesn’t need much, but still want others to provide it. They are more than happy to subsist on whatever Welfare programs are available, so long as ‘work’ isn’t involved. This group is also the most likely to bitch that their unearned income is just too low, man.
4. The Power Brokers. This group assumes that in the Socialistic world, they will be the upper crust, the policy-makers, not the downtrodden, overworked, drones necessary to keep their economy afloat. They understand that for some to receive a service without paying, others need to pay and not receive that service. They just see themselves on the receiving end. Why they see themselves in this envious role is unclear, as they are generally underperformers in any economic arrangement, so why would they be promoted and rewarded under Socialism?

Random Thoughts For 12 January 2021
Jan 12, 2021 General, Law Enforcement, Tyranny
Congresswoman Liz Cheney accused Donald Trump of inciting violence and causing an insurrection. She stated she will vote to impeach him. I guess Cheney has looked in the mirror and mistaken herself for a liberal totalitarian. Trump made a speech. He called for peaceful protests. He did not in any way call for violence. But Cheney is still upset because people invaded the Capitol. The Antifa agitators were the ones damaging things and looking to harm people. The patriots who entered (many of whom were let in) did not damage anything and did not harm anyone. You can tell the Antifa types because they had gas masks with them. Cheney does not like that she was scared so badly she had to hide somewhere and she probably wet her pants. Trump did nothing wrong and the fact you people will impeach without due process shows just how corrupt Congress is.
Mitch McConnell expressed is opinion that Trump committed an impeachable offense and he is glad the House is bringing up the articles. According to the Turtle, he thinks impeaching Trump will rid the Republican party of him and his brand. He thinks once this is a fait accompli, the people who followed the president will fall back in line and be good little compliant Republicans. He has no clue whatsoever. I support President Trump (and will never, ever support Xiden) and if he lost in a fair election then shake hands and move on. But this election was stolen, there was massive fraud and the numbers were enough to make a difference in the margin of error. These are undeniable despite the false stories painted by the left and the RINO wing of their party. I think it is time we had a new party and would be more than happy to join in. The Constitution party sounds good. I already changed my voter registration from Republican to unaffiliated so I could go for a real party. One thing is certain, I will NOT fall in line with the spineless party of McConnell.
I have been telling people since November when many Republicans turned a blind eye to the fraudulent election that Republicans would send emails listing all the horrible things Democrats will do and how we need to send money to help them fight AHHHHHHHHHH. Well, I got one today from Kevin McCarthy. He is begging for money for the take back the House effort. It almost seems to me these parties switch from minority to majority on a regular basis so they can all get rich begging suckers for money. I wrote a nice long letter to ole Kevin explaining why they will never get another cent from me. I doubt he will read it.
If you wondered what was in store for us with the Democrats set to be in control of government you did not have to wait until they took control. Cancel culture is in full swing. Most social media platforms have removed President Trump from their sites and they also purged tens of thousands of conservatives who committed the crime of, well, being conservative. Most headed over to conservative site Parler and established accounts and then the hosting service for Parler, none other than Amazon Web Services, took Parler down. Parler has had lawyers stop representing them and hosting services change their minds and decide they can’t be hosted. Apple removed the Parler App and is playing a part in the cancel culture pile on. The PGA (shame on you) removed a major tournament (the 2022 PGA Championship) from one of Trump’s properties. Trump’s organization will take the PGA to court because the course spent a lot of money to make sure it was ready. I hope at the least the PGA has to reimburse. There are many other things that have happened that appear to be out of Orwell’s 1984. Suffice it to say that the left is not content with winning (or cheating to a win) they are now trying to destroy Trump. These things have a way of working out and I hope it ends up costing all of them. I would like to see Trump declassify all the dirty little secrets of DC and spread them all over on his way out. Perhaps them banning him is to keep him from publishing. Many of us have websites and will publish it.
What can we do? Close social media accounts. No Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or any of the other ones. Just get rid of them. If you have Amazon, cancel it. You can order directly from most companies and many smaller companies could use the business. If you play golf do not purchase PGA logo items and do not donate to their programs. Do not watch the 2022 PGA Championship on TV. Let the ratings go in the dumper. If you do business with any financial institutions that are unfriendly to conservatives or have targeted the President then switch. Also, do not donate to the Republican Party. Consider jailbreaking your Apple device. Do not purchase apps in the app store and cancel Apple music (and other services).
Looks like we are in for a bumpy ride. People who think know that it was paid agitators who stormed the Capitol and did the damage (with an assist from the Capitol Police). The patriots did no damage and did not hurt anyone. But the way Democrats are acting one has to ask how long it will be before there is an all out assault on that place. I do not favor that and am not calling for it (I have to put this because idiots like Cheney and McConnell will swear I incited something), but you can only push people so far. It is almost like they are piling on to see if they can provoke a response. I can promise them they do not want a response. Funny thing, they all keep saying violence is not the answer and this is not what we do in America. Our Founders had grievances with the government and tried over a long period of time to get them addressed peacefully. Their pleas fell on deaf ears and they were subject to more tyranny (sound familiar). They then took action. So please do not tell me this is not who we are. We Declared in a document that it was our duty to cast off such government and start new.
We would normally accomplish that at the ballot box. We have been told for years, don’t like it then vote for change. It would appear that our vote no longer counts (and maybe it never did which is why they keep getting reelected) and the elections are a fraud so what is left?
I think they better get their acts together or they might wish they had. I hope I am wrong. BTW, to the Chiefs of Staff, your oath is to the Constitution so remember that.

The Hypocrisy of America
Jan 8, 2021 Law Enforcement, Opinion, Tyranny
By now people have heard about the events of January 6th. Some members of Antifa and zealous patriots entered the US Capitol after it became obvious that Mike Pence was not going to do anything other than rubber stamp fraud. Most of the patriots who entered (important to note there is evidence a police officer opened the door and let them in) were milling around, chatting with the officers and taking selfies with them.
Another group of people destroyed property and ransacked offices.
Obviously this behavior is not what we expect. I will not go as far as people who say this should never happen in this nation because there might very well come a time when people decide it is time to do things differently. Let us not lose sight of the fact that this nation was founded on an act of treason. I am not supporting that, calling for that or advocating that, I merely point out the Declaration of Independence spells out our duties if government becomes tyrannical. If you try peaceful separation and they say no, well what are you left with? The same thing our Founders ended up doing. Our veterans took an oath to protect, support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That oath expires when they do. Notice we are not protecting any person, we are protecting an old piece of parchment paper (and the words it contains) that established our government.
However, I find the drama and hypocrisy from the members of Congress (including Queen Lindsey Graham) to be conflicting. You see, these people are the very ones who tell other nations to have uprisings and for their people to fight for democracy. The very government officials who encourage Hong Kong to fight or overthrow its government are condemning the people who have had enough and did nothing more than what our government has supported in other nations, for decades. Keep in mind this all started because of a fraudulent election where indisputable evidence shows votes were stolen in sufficient quantities to change the election from a Trump landslide win to a Biden win. Despite the members of Congress and its propaganda media wing repeating that there is no evidence and the election is free and fair, these are not true and you are being told it repeatedly to get you to believe it. More hypocrisy when you take note that our nation routinely injects itself into the elections of other nations demanding they do it free and fair or that they conduct democratic elections. Hell, the UN even monitors some nations and there is no doubt we support that. Of course, as new evidence comes to light we are now finding out that the methods used to steal this election have been used by our CIA to interfere in the elections of other nations and get the outcome we want.
It is particularly galling to hear members of Congress who espoused the violence of BLM/Antifa over the summer, say this was uncalled for and unacceptable. The members of the squad, the Speaker and others have supported what the protesters did and encouraged them to keep it up. This is not in dispute. While the rioters were burning cities to the ground and looting everything in sight the social justice warriors in Congress were egging them on and telling them to keep it up.
All of the sudden the people coming in were coming into their workplace and were causing trouble for them. That is not OK. If the people they encouraged to burn down your businesses actually did so, it was OK but to enter the Capitol and make members of Congress wet their pants was inappropriate.
Queen Graham wants to know why there were armed National Guardsmen in full riot gear for BLM but not for this. His implication, of course is that it was racial (he always panders). The truth is assessments probably showed that wherever BLM/Antifa showed up they destroyed stuff, burned stuff, stole stuff, hurt people and killed people. Any assessment of the people who support President Trump would show that in countless rallies with tens of thousands of people there were only minor skirmishes usually involving a democrat agitator there to cause trouble. One could argue they got it wrong but the truth is there were paid agitators in this crowd and it is true that some over zealous people did bad things. How many were the patriots we do not know. We do know that reports indicate many were invited in. That is an important point. If you were invited in you broke no law (unless you then vandalized the place).
What other hypocrisy has our nation and its elected swamp creatures shown? The riots over the summer were because the police shot black people (except Floyd who died of a drug overdose while cops knelt on him). Some of them were unarmed (some were not) but in nearly every instance they were breaking a law and did something that resulted in them getting shot. Not all of the shootings looked OK to me but there is no doubt that many were justified. In the Capitol an unarmed white woman was shot and killed by the police. Are we supposed to riot? I can understand that people might say that she broke the law and deserved to be shot (unless she did something aggressive she should not have been fired upon) but saying that did not stop the BLM/Antifa riots or support from the Social Justice Democrats. Some members of Congress have stated that the police should have opened fire on all the people entering. What? They tell police to stand down when people are rioting.
There are no riots for this lady. I do not know if she was invited in, walked in or climbed through a window but I do know she probably should not have been shot. I could excuse the shooting though if they can show that the chaos involved and the officer’s perception that she had a weapon caused him to shoot but it would take a lot of convincing. Another bit of hypocrisy, why were the Capitol Police not told to stand down and let the people do what they wanted? It was only property and we have insurance (in this case tax dollars). Anyone remember this when the left was occupying parts of Seattle and attacking a federal courthouse or burning and looting?
What happened should not have but it is important to remember that the people involved were a very small fraction of those who were there. They no longer give estimates and the permit was for 30,000 but there were hundreds of thousands of people there. The crowd went a very long way. But assume it was only 50,000. The few hundred or so who were involved in the Capitol ruckus are a tiny percentage of the total. Remember when the BLM/Antifa rioters were doing their thing we were told most of the people were peaceful but some bad players always take advantage of the situation. When conservatives are involved if one does something bad they are all bad.
The only good to come from this is that the people who made fun of Trump when they took him to the WH shelter can’t do so any longer. They were all hiding under desks, crying and wetting their pants. Also, the members of Congress now know what fear is. They now know they are not in a palace that can’t be breached and they are not safe from the people should they continue their tyranny.
These very people are talking about another impeachment or the 25th Amendment. What will they do if that ticks off the people who were just there and others who could not make it and they all showed up to register their disagreement. Congress now knows that there are not enough police officers and Guardsmen to protect them and they should not screw around. And keep in mind, none of the people there were armed. If they get ticked off and show up that will not be the case.
Our government is hypocritical.
And it is good when government fears the people.

States Want A Bailout
Apr 23, 2020 Political, Tyranny
The Democrats like to say never let a crisis go to waste. That is particularly true with regard to the Corona Virus. Democrats have used it to impose authoritarian rule, to limit what people can do and to ignore the US Constitution.
This crisis, if you want to call it that, has demonstrated that states were woefully unprepared for the pandemic. It is the responsibility of the states to have plans in place and to have adequate supplies for the beginning of a problem. The federal government is there to provide help to hot spots and coordinate movement of items among the states. It has bulk supplies to supplement the ones the states are supposed to have. As an aside, it is also the responsibility of hospitals to have supplies and plans in place.
When these things occur there is a fouled up response and then they have meetings, blue ribbon panels meet and they come up with plans to “ensure this never happens again” and then they put the plans in a drawer and the next time there is an emergency it happens again. And each time they encroach on our liberties.
Now it looks like these liberals are going to use this emergency (or try) to take more of our money. All these states that were screaming about being in control and not having the feds run their show are now saying they will need BILLIONS of our tax dollars to recover from the pandemic. If you think they mean to recover from Corona related items you are only partly correct. These liberals (and no doubt a few RINOs) want the federal government to pay for failing pension systems, budget shortfalls and billions of dollars worth of other shortcomings that states have had for years.
The Democrats in Congress are all on board making bold statements that the next stimulus (you know I hate stimulus packages) will include money for states to make their public sector pensions whole. There are plans to include money in the recovery to help states pay off debt including debt that was there BEFORE COVID-19. New York was 7 Billion in debt prior to the outbreak. Under the ideas floated by the Democrats, this debt would be paid off by the federal government as part of a stimulus package.
Why exactly should we pay the debt of the states? How is it the states can scream they have rights and the feds need to butt out (all very correct) and then say we need you to pay our bills, past and present? I hate stimulus packages but if the feds are going to take money from workers in each state then some of that needs to go back to the state to make things whole BUT only things that are a direct result of COVID-19.
States are already inflating COVID death numbers to get higher reimbursements. Now they expect the feds to pay all their bills, cancel out all their debt and make them whole again. I do not see that as being the way to go. States are responsible for the pensions of their public sector employees so they need to make those systems whole. Perhaps they should use this crisis as an opportunity to pare down those lucrative pension plans.
Fortunately, Mitch McConnell says that he and most Republicans will not be on board with bailing out the states. He says they might want to consider filing for bankruptcy. I agree 100%. States can pay their own bills or they can file for protection.
Keep in mind, government has the ability to tax you to death (and after you die) so in the long run you will pay for this. If your state has to foot its own bills it will raise taxes (and they will never go back down) or impose new ones (and they will never go away) to pay the bills. States are looking for the easy way out by spreading their misery to all the other states. It is important to remember if the feds pay the bill the federal taxes will need to be raised in order to pay the bills so everyone pays even if they are in a fiscally responsible state.
I am not in favor of paying the bills of the states. I am all for as little government as possible. Government has gotten too big and has imposed tyranny on us in the face of another “crisis”. We need to put an end to this mess. We are speeding toward 25 TRILLION dollars in debt and members of Congress and the leaders (or so called leaders) in the states are stomping down on the throttle.
And they are doing that because they will be dead long before their malfeasance destroys the nation. All of them are old and they will be dead before the mess they are causing has any affect. They will not be bothered by it so they do not care.
But your grandchildren will. Do not allow these cretins to further destroy our nation.

Because the Government Never Abuses Its Power, Right?
Jun 18, 2018 Second Amendment, Tyranny
Liberals want to end all gun ownership and to confiscate all firearms. They want the only people to have firearms to be those who work for law enforcement or other agencies of the government. They want people to be under their booted feet submitting to what government says. The left though, knows it will be hard to do this particularly all at once. So the liberals have been working on disarming us for nearly 100 years. Progressive policies have eroded the Second Amendment over the decades and it is continually attacked each and every day.
All the things liberals want with regard to gun control already exist and nothing they propose would have prevented any shooting that took place. There is simply nothing anyone can do to prevent a person who is hell bent on evil from committing that evil. Banning any item will not make it go away. Lots of people drank during prohibition (underage people drink every day) and lots of folks die from using Heroin, a drug that is illegal to buy, possess, sell, or use. People will get whatever they want no matter what government does.
This fact does not keep government from trying. Government knows if most of the people, in this case the law abiding, are disarmed they will be easier to control. The law abiding know this as well.
So liberals keep with the drip, drip, drip to continue eroding our protected rights. We are up to the point where they want a gun registry so that every gun owned by every law abiding gun owner (criminals will not register a gun they obtained and carry illegally) is on file with the government. Why does government need this?
The claims are that it will make us safer and they can track guns used in crimes. Gun owners are upset and know this is nothing more than a scheme to obtain a list so government can confiscate those firearms at a later date. Certainly some event will trigger hysteria and politicians will demand the confiscation and the database will be a handy little tool.
Nah, government would never use items it collected in ways it promised not to or in a fashion that was never agreed to. Oh really?
In Maryland hunters sign up for licenses using an email address. The terms state that email address will only be used to notify concerning hunting license issues. The government used those email addresses to send emails to hunters during gun control debates. It matters not what the emails said, they violated the stated purpose for providing the email.
Oh hell Big Dog, that is not so bad. OK, the US Military started collecting a blood sample from all active and reserve members sometime around 1991. All members were REQUIRED BY LAW to submit the sample. I avoided doing so and a health care provider took my blood from a tube submitted for a blood test and applied it to the DNA card. The absolute stated purpose of the DNA submission was so they could identify remains. That is ALL they said it would be used for and that is ALL it should have been used for. It was not. Now DNA collected by the military is used for law enforcement purposes. Never mind that this DNA was not collected as part of a law enforcement issue, it is used as such and is a violation of protected rights.
In Maryland (again with this communist state) the police are using the database of driver’s license photos in facial recognition searches. The purpose of a driver’s license photo is to identify a person as being permitted to drive. No where does providing your photo for a license give them the right to use your picture when searching for wrong doers. The photos in the driver’s license photo database are only for driver’s licenses and were not collected as part of a criminal issue. Why are those photos being used in violation of the rights of the people who were forced (like the DNA issue) to provide the picture? Maryland is not the only state that does this.
How many times do we need to see government abuse its power and authority before we understand that giving government info is a bad thing? There is never any punishment for people who do this and often the government as a whole participates. They justify it by saying it is needed for this or that to keep us safe or catch criminals.
Need more? The government is using Stingray technology to capture your cell phone conversations or location and use them against you. The police use license tag readers to read all tags to determine if you are a wanted person. They don’t delete the information (at least not for a while) giving them information on your location at any given time. They use EZ Pass and toll cameras to track you.
How many abuses by government do we need to see to realize that a firearms database is a bad idea and that NO MATTER what government says it WILL abuse that database to carry out some law enforcement action. They will continue until one day SWAT Teams show up at houses to confiscate firearms.
Sound like paranoia? Then you have not been paying attention…
UPDATE: And just like that this update shows the government is obsessed with biometrics and no, it is not paranoia. How long will it be before you HAVE TO submit these samples (you know like military DNA and license photos)? Government will start withholding certain things like tax refunds until you comply. No due process, no nothing, just wham, bam thank you ma’am…
