Viadoom Is Coming Soon!

Here's a snippet from ShiftWA's New Year's Eve edition...

“It’s going to be horrible for pretty much everyone unless we can figure out some small changes we can all make,” Seattle councilmember Mike O’Brien said about the upcoming viaduct closure. In roughly two weeks the Alaskan Way Viaduct will permanently close. “Obviously if you’re someone who uses 99 now you’re going to have to think directly what you do differently, but a lot of those vehicles will go to I-5,” O’Brien said. (My Northwest)

Nearly everywhere in the region, from Olympia at the south end to Marysville north of Everette, the traffic through this narrow section of land between the Puget Sound to the west and Lake Washington on the east, has been intolerable for decades with the influx of new families moving in to take jobs available because of the stable, diverse and strong employment opportunity here.

Now, after years of delays in getting "Bertha" to dig the underground tunnel along the Seattle waterfront right next to Elliot Bay (~30 ft.), the scene is set for traffic bedlam. (Good luck to those using the tunnel when the expected major earthquake hits sometime in the future.)

Use either link above to read the full article for details, but as someone who's commuted for ten years to Seattle from Federal Way, I can honestly say that this looming problem is going to blow up in the face of not only the city council, but the state's DOT because the suggestions made in this article as to how one can adjust to this change are a joke!

Shifting one's meeting starts by a half-hour won't even be close to sufficient for those stuck the traffic gridlock trying to get to the later meeting.

For the years when I was commuting into Seattle via I-5 and the SODO district surface streets, the traffic was absolutely horrendous! 

95% of the time the traffic near the north section of I-5 along Boeing Field would be at a crawl because of the four lanes three miles ahead would reduce down to two lanes at the Seneca exit just north of I-90. A 30 mile drive took me 45 minutes when traffic was half-way reasonable!

If I took the West Seattle bridge exit onto the surface streets of the SODO district the port trucks and buses would clog up the streets; not to mention the construction going on on 4th Ave. 

I wouldn't be surprised if it was learned in the future that the actual purpose behind creating such an unbearable situation for downtown Seattle workers - like my older daughter - was to cause such a crisis that it would provide liberals in the state's legislature to say, "See? Here's proof that we need more taxes to fix this problem."

Yea? Well, explain to me why they've spent so much of our tax dollars on HOV lanes that are a joke, and mass transit is an even bigger joke due to their unreliable schedules and light rail construction  overruns!

Get Ready, 'Cause Here They Come... Again!

George Soro's "Open Society" which funds efforts around the world to destabilize governments and country's monetary systems, has been fingered with supporting with his own funds - along with a branch of the United Nations - the "Caravan" which now sits in Tijuana. (Yes, Tucker, it's pronounced "Tee-whana", not Tee-uh-wanna.)

Yet, minority leader of the Senate in Congress, Charles Schumer - a.k.a. "Chuckee Shoomer" - seems to be behind, or at least blamed for, another larger assembly of Central Americans now gathering for a migration north into Mexico. 

It's clear that Democrats, at least the elected types, are more interested in doing whatever they can to bolster their voter base, rather than protect the very people who elected them from the untold number of criminal illegal aliens who've managed to cross the border into our country.

With the Media (D) backing them, it's even more frustrating to learn from multiple examples in the news, that the illegal aliens in our country seem to have favored status - Kate Steinle's being the first notable one of many - over the law abiding citizens who pay taxes and have no criminal record!

Why Do We Need A Wall Anyway?

Both of these elected representatives are quoted for being in favor of funding a wall before Trump was elected!

I've written about this topic many times over this past year.

My remarks have pointed out the many things which frustrate most of the tax paying citizens of this "shinning city on a hill", as Pres. Reagan referred to our nation.

And there've been a lot of great arguments made pointing out why maintaining a legal process - which the leftist-socialists are doing their best to encourage - is critical to our nation's survival.

But Gov. Mike Hukabee's points made in this video encapsulate them all so very well, that I had to share it with you.

Watch and see if it doesn't get a "five star rating" from you as well.

"I felt like I was a complete sucker..."

Here's the intro. to an article about a trio who scammed people out of over $400K on a GoFundMe page using the premise of helping a homeless veteran:

Kate McClure, Mark D’Amico, and drug-addicted homeless veteran, Johnny Bobbitt, were charged with theft by deception in November after they concocted a story that Bobbitt had given McClure his last $20 after her car ran out of fuel, which left her stranded on the side of I-95 in a dangerous Philadelphia neighborhood. McClure’s boyfriend set up a GoFundMe donation page based on that lie, and they got $402,000 in donations to help Bobbitt. The couple pilfered most of the money, which prompted the homeless man to sue them. It was only then that the lie unraveled, and the three were arrested. -GEG

A Sad Note on This Holy Day

While this news is sad to hear, I think most of us who know anything about the Holy Bible know that this news is really not a surprise since this was prophesied in the last book of that volume.

Here's an article on The Hill site which gives us this sad news which, I'm sure, many of us are donating to various organizations that are doing their best to provide these Christians support and comfort during their time of distress.

P.S. There is a nice video at the top of the page of both the President and First Lady telling us about what's being done to help.

Christmas Eve of 1776

By Christmas Eve of 1776, the American Revolution was, in essence, over. The Americans had lost. George Washington was out of options. His army, now down to only a few thousand, had lost seven battles in a row and was freezing on the west bank of the Delaware River awaiting the end. The British, on the other hand had 33,000 soldiers, well over a hundred ships and were partying in New York City and preparing for the final surrender. Most of the American troops had resolve, but they had lost hope that England could ever be defeated.

Half of Washington’s army, 1,500 men, were quitting that week and going home because their enlistments were up. Washington decided on one final offensive. He gathered the same fishermen who had helped him retreat in August from New York and had his beleaguered troops ferried across the half frozen Delaware at midnight on Christmas Day. Just before they boarded the boats, the General had the American Crisis, the challenge by Thomas Paine, read to the men.

“These are the times that try men’s souls: the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: ‘Tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.”

Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware and routed the Hessian mercenaries with a victory that changed the course of history. Almost all of the American soldiers re-enlisted. France began to support the cause and hope reinvigorated the colonists.

Excerpts from Dr. Marshall Foster’s George Washington’s Christmas Miracle.

It is fitting at this time of the year to lay our fears aside and remember those who risked life and limb for all of the freedoms we now enjoy, including the freedom to worship as we please.  Have a safe and relaxing holiday with family and friends!

Here's another excerpt from an article about the current govt. shutdown and how the authors feel it relates to the story I've shared above:

But Washington was not going to give up the American cause without a fight.  In an incredibly bold and risky maneuver, he decided to load his entire army ? men, horses and munitions ? into boats to cross the icy Delaware River on Christmas night.

To inspire his men, Washington ordered them to assemble for a public reading of Thomas Paine’s new pamphlet, “The American Crisis,” which had just been published on December 19: “These are the times that try men’s souls.  The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

On December 23 and 24, many boats were collected and secured with the help of experienced seamen.The crossing began at sundown December 25, and lasted all night amid horrendous weather:  rain, sleet, snow, ice, and winds that were called a hurricane.

It was daylight on December 26 when troops reassembled on the Jersey shore.  They marched 9 miles to Trenton where they surprised and defeated a contingent of British-allied Hessian troops, took them prisoner and captured their food, supplies and horses.

That was the early turning point in the American Revolution, thanks to the leadership of George Washington against all odds.  Trump displays the same kind of initiative needed to put our Nation back on the path sought by our Founders.

Amid the current Democrat-caused shutdown, Trump delivers to the People the best Christmas present a president can give:  leadership to Make America Great Again.

Stock Market Dive: What's Really Going On?

The stock market has taken a "precipitous" plunge on the eve of Christmas!

While those who make a living from following and reporting on the market's behavior, their tendency to report on what's going on regarding this event, in my opinion, is missing the bigger picture of why investors are selling shares.

Of course, the Media (D) is no doubt taking this news and carefully crafting it to come across to the viewer that it is because of the president's actions and policies; ie: his unwillingness to sign any legislation which doesn't include funding for the wall on the southern border. Their view is akin to focusing on one's nose, while not looking at the horizon ahead of you. I know my financial planner has always harped on the attitude that if one' going to invest, one must go into it with a 30+ years view.

This, naturally, will dampen, if not cause varying degrees of anxiety and fear by those don't understand the possibility of  another factor which plays into this situation.

This MSM angle is ignoring the reality of the situation. Investors buy because they are confident that the policies will ensure that their investment will grow and make them more wealthy. So, if these investors have been paying attention to the political scene - and any wise investor does - he/she will have determined that with the House about to be taken over by the liberal/leftists next month, now is the best time to pull back whatever gains they've made.

They know from the eight years of the Obama administration that Democrats are not only anti-American in their attitudes, but that they are now hell bent on doing whatever it takes to hinder anything they can of Pres. Trump's future actions; including commencing impeachment hearings and causing further declines in the confidence of investors and economic growth.

Rush Limbaugh on today's - he was live on Christmas Eve's morning show - third hour opening spoke to this point. When the transcript is posted, I'll put it up here.

Then too, there may be another factor which could be playing into this scenario, which I posted about yesterday, potentially occurring within the next week.

Patriot Alert!

These two videos listed below should be watched and considered. Based on what you may know, or understand, I recommend that you pay attention to what MAY happen in the next few weeks. There have been indications over the past several months that such an event might be triggered.

Let me just say this... Better to be prepared, than caught with your "pants down around your ankles." If nothing happens, then no foul; at least in regards to what we may be impacted by from such a situation. However, if anything - like what these two videos say may occur - then you will hopefully be safe and secure.

Take measures you deem necessary to deal with this:

A PLANE IS ON ITS WAY TO WASHINGTON DC, WHEN THE NEWLY ELECTED DEMOCRAT OCASIO-CORTEZ IN ECONOMY CLASS GETS UP AND MOVES TO THE FIRST CLASS SECTION AND SITS DOWN.

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT WATCHES HER DO THIS AND ASKS TO SEE HER TICKET.  

SHE THEN TELLS THE FUTURE CONGRESSWOMAN THAT SHE PAID FOR ECONOMY CLASS AND THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK.  

CORTEZ REPLIES, "I'M A DEMOCRAT, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M SOCIALIST, I'M GOING TO DC AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE."  

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT GOES INTO THE COCKPIT AND TELLS THE PILOT AND THE CO-PILOT THAT THERE IS A NITWIT YOUNG WOMAN SITTING IN FIRST CLASS, THAT BELONGS IN ECONOMY AND WON'T MOVE BACK TO HER SEAT.  

THE CO-PILOT GOES BACK TO CORTEZ AND TRIES TO EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE SHE ONLY PAID FOR ECONOMY SHE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE AND RETURN TO ECONOMY.  

CORTEZ REPLIES, "I'M A DEMOCRAT, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M SOCIALIST, I'M GOING TO DC AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE."  

THE CO-PILOT TELLS THE PILOT THAT HE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE THE POLICE WAITING WHEN THEY LAND TO ARREST THE FUTURE CONGRESSWOMAN WHO WON'T LISTEN TO REASON.  

THE PILOT SAYS, "YOU SAY SHE IS A DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST? I’LL HANDLE THIS, I'M MARRIED TO A LIBERAL. I SPEAK SOCIALIST."  

HE GOES BACK TO THE DEMOCRAT AND WHISPERS IN HER EAR, AND SHE SAYS, "OH, I'M SORRY." AND GETS UP AND GOES BACK TO HER SEAT IN ECONOMY.  

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND CO-PILOT ARE AMAZED AND ASK HIM WHAT HE SAID TO MAKE HER MOVE WITHOUT ANY FUSS. 

"I TOLD HER, 'FIRST CLASS ISN'T GOING TO DC."

It Just Keeps Getting More Interesting

The national scene has become tense with rancor and focused frustration by the people who elected a leader they believed could stand up against all odds.

While that belief has yet to bear fruit, many situations are shifting by the minute as the government's inaction and infighting has created yet another looming shutdown.

What most Media (D) have not told their viewers about government shutdowns is that about 85% of government stays operating; only non-essential federal employees are sent home and the lights turn off until the funding is signed by the President.

After Rep. Pelosi vowed that there would not be enough votes to fund the wall on the southern border, the House yesterday passed a bill which does just that. Now, the "ball" is in Sen. McConnel's lap to get it passed there.

However, a Purple Heat veteran who lost three of his limbs in service to our country has raised over $10.5 million on GoFundMe to help pay for the wall.

In Congress, Rep. Gutierrez went religious on DHS Secretary Neilsen went he ranted about how Jesus would have perished if the wall kept his family from leaving for Egypt, then while she was responding to why it was needed, he promptly got up and walked out of the hearing. Sec. Neilsen threw it right back in his face with their own arguments about separating family members. Obviously he didn't like that, so he left.

Those who elected Pres. Trump are expressing their frustration with him more frequently in stronger terms as is expressed in this blog. (Warning: While the font size is small and may be difficult to read for those with vision issues, this post best expresses much of the sentiment of those who are frustrated with the success of the the anti-Americans in Congress on the left against funding the wall. They know if it gets built, it will be the death of their plan to bolster their voter base to stay politically viable.)

Enigmas

(1) Isn't it weird that in America our flag and our culture offend so many people, but our benefits don't?

(2) How can the federal government ask U.S. citizens to pay back student loans, when illegal aliens are receiving a free education?

3) Only in America are legal citizens labeled "racists" and "Nazis" but illegal aliens are called "Dreamers."

(4) Liberals say, "If confiscating all guns saves just one life, it's worth it!"  Well then, if deporting all illegals saves just one life, wouldn't that be worth it?

(5) I can't quite figure out how you can proudly wave the flag of another country but consider it punishment to be sent back there.

(6) The Constitution: It doesn't need to be rewritten; it needs to be reread.

(7) William F. Buckley said: "Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other points of view and are then shocked and offended when they discover there are other points of view."

(8) Joseph Sobran said: "'Need' now means wanting someone else's money.  'Greed' means wanting to keep your own.  'Compassion' is when a politician arranges the transfer.

(9) Florida has had 119 hurricanes since 1850, but some people still insist the last one was due to climate change.

Do You Really Own Your Property?

Since the founding of our nation Americans have prided themselves on their freedoms and liberties.

In the nation's first one hundred and fifty years, or so, any individual who paid for their property they'd settled on owned it outright.

Over the last one hundred years, or so, this is no longer true. Anyone who doesn't pay their county property taxes can have their land taken from them.

But now, more recently there's a new trend being implemented by counties. It has to do with the growing resistance by many property owners more recently who are paying their property taxes, but are disregarding the county's enforcement of codes.

I read an article and watched a video the other day about how a county in the Los Angeles area of Southern California has passed a new measure which will make any property owners who are served with a code violation have to pay all the fees related to the processing of their court case about their violation of county code.

This article/video asserts that Agenda 21 is behind this trend. I was dubious, but wondered if there was anything to this, and thought this was a result of the crazy things going on in that state with their liberal policies on immigration, homelessness and gun laws. 

However, I was surprised that the next morning, I came across a local article listed on one of my subscription services for daily news which addressed the same issue in my state.

It's important to note what's said in the second article under the heading, "County Changes". If you read the first article and watch the video, it becomes rather obvious that the same process is beginning to take place in the local county of my state.

Apparently, there is some validity to this move by counties around the country to impose such measures on property owners. While many will deny that Agenda 21 has anything to do with this, it causes one to stop and think about what's going on. Are we losing our freedoms and liberties to bureaucrats at the local level of government too?

I can relate to the need for addressing issues which the  latter article addresses when it comes to code enforcement, but when some of those codes are clearly absurd or ridiculous ones, and the shift of costs for property owners to fight them becomes outlandish, then it appears our local governments are becoming tyrannical.

The Real Consequences of Immigration

When the "caravan" was headed north the Media (D) told us that these people were just fleeing their country to seek asylum in the U.S. Then, we heard some of those who were marching north say, "We're just going to the U.S. to get a good job."

When claims were made about the "caravan" including many criminals and questionable individuals from place other than Latin America, the leftist-liberals began to use their well worn strategy of name calling; "racist, bigot, nazi" were the labels used to try and intimidate us, or make us feel guilty.

When they arrived at the border in Tijuana, Mexico the Media (D) told us that we had a moral obligation to let them into the country and that they would make our country stronger. Who appointed these people to tell us what our moral obligations are?

But after Pres. Trump gave the directive to the Border Patrol to not allow them to come across the border by shutting it down and they had to remain in Tijuana, that city began to experience the impact of their presence.

Crime went up, arrests increased, and their trash amidst the "camps" grew into small mountains of major health concerns; compounding the concern of the various health issues they were bringing with them already.

Now, the leftist-liberals are implementing their intimidation against those who are revealing the truth about these "caravans" by organized boycotts of those shows who present any opposing view than the one they want shared with the public viewer in the U.S.

Tucker Carlson Tonight on FOX News is one which is featured in this article at NeedtoKnow News.

And, for your convenience, here's the Arizona Border Trash site Tucker Carlson mentions in the must watch video in the article above. And now, a comment from our President.

The Impact of the Janus Decision

You may recall the U.S. Supreme Court decision last spring, known as the Janus decision, which allows union members who do not wish to be forced to pay union dues to tell the union to "take a hike" and not suffer any consequences.

As a retired teacher who's been a life-long conservative, it was frustrating to be forced to pay union dues which supported candidates in both mid-term and general elections who were always Democrats. Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Obama; everyone was endorsed by the N.E.A.

While there were always those who said, or told me, that the dues never went to political campaigns to support their liberal candidate choices, I know from having spent several years as an active member in my local, state, and national union activities that this was simply not true.

Here's one example which has been vivid in my memory. I was an alternate delegate to the N.E.A.'s national convention in July of '82. While on the floor of the huge convention hall, one morning session was spent debating whether the union should send a letter to President Reagan chastising him for funding the Contras in Nicaragua who were fighting the Sandanistas, a socialist/communist backed faction trying to take over the government there.

Being a new teacher I went to the convention thinking I would be spending time discussing, debating, and getting training in how to be a more effective teacher in my classroom. It was quite the shock when I learned that the national union was all about political power and had plans to keep liberal politicians in office as much as their clout of numbers allowed them through raising massive amounts of funds through their dues collection.

Near the last few years of my career I was very disappointed to learn that the local union, despite what they had repeatedly told their gatherings of members at various rally events to vote on striking, was not interested at all in "going to bat" for a dues paying member who expressed their frustration at its support of consistent liberal candidate choices.

As a result, and because a more local court case had an outcome in favor of a state teacher being able to decide which charity their union dues would go after resigning, but still having their dues deducted from their monthly salary, I too resigned because I refused to allow them to send it to Planned Parenthood, or some other nefarious entity they favored, and continued teaching my last year before retiring from my full-time position.

Now, just this week, the Washington Policy Center's Liv Finne, an associate who specializes in education, wrote an article on their site regarding the impact of the Janus decision on the Seattle School District's membership and funds collected.

I invite you to read it with special attention to the first line's opening statement. Why? Because it seems to espouse what I know to be incorrect; that one could have been fired if I, or anyone else, ceased being a member.

I've emailed Ms. Finne asking her to explain how this could be, when I know it is not true. Should I receive an explanation which clarifies any misunderstanding I may be under, then I will add a footnote to this post.

Why You Should Be A Nationalist

The Media (D) is doing their best to skew the understanding of the public by creating their own meaning or definition of certain words in order to paint the president as some horrible person, or wanting to appear as promoting some terrible idea.

But, if we watch this most recent video released by PragerU, we learn what a nationalist really stands for.

Check it out! It may surprise you.

If You've Live Long Enough

"One thing I've found out about old age is, if we've studied history long enough, we can usually rebuff any of the dramatic bovine scatology disseminated by the news agencies, which I tend to discount anyway because I just don't have time to be misled or lied to."

 These words of wisdom by my friend Richard express the sentiments of those of us in the "senior" category of life. In other words, we who've paid attention and know the facts about an issue can see an attempt to revise history in some way.

The recent passing of another "senior" who had far more experience and insight into the threat our nation has faced for the past 18 years since 9/11 is shared here at this link to an article about it.

I urge my readers to check it out.

The Study Shows...

I came across this article about California's snow pack in the Sierra Nevada range reportedly decreasing drastically over the next several decades.

But the more I read it, the more I wondered how this "study" could make such projections implying that snowfall would continue to shrink causing diminishing runoff into the San Juaquin Valley which runs north and south to the central portion of the state.

I like to think that our advancements in science are providing us with more accurate and reliable information, but the article simply fails to explain adequately to the reader how those who conducted the study can project rainfall in the mountain range so far into the future.

I say this because I get the sense that there are various factors which play into such studies. For starters, the article cites data for weather back to the 1880s. Is that really sufficient length of time to determine so far out into the future; 2100?

Also, what are the driving factors influencing the study's findings? Are they biased by the funding source? We've already learned that climate change data was manipulated to improve the accuracy of the predictions. I just read recently that 10 years ago Al Gore predicted that the north polar ice cap would be completely gone in only five years, yet the ice is still there. Oops!

Do the scientists take into account the possibility of weather cycles which we have no data on to give us any insight into whether cooler, or wetter, periods occurred? Wasn't the front page of Time magazine in the '70s warning us about scientific studies which predicted a coming ice age which could threaten our future prosperity?

But what really confused me was the paragraph near the bottom of the article which stated one suggestion to deal with future water shortage was to encourage farmers to flood their fields in wetter years to allow the groundwater table to replenish. Does this make sense to you?

If water runoff from the mountain range is going to be declining over the next several decades, why would they want to not conserve water more carefully when natural processes already cause the underground water table to replenish from percolating into the ground during runoff from higher elevations?

And then there's the documented fact that the state's utility company, PG&E, falsified records which contributed to the recent wildfires which killed nearly 100 people, as well as the government's actions, or failure to act in the proper way to deal with their already existing water shortage, has added immensely to the problem.

America's Amnesia

If aliens from outer space were to burst onto the scene today and threaten the world's survival of the human race, I sometimes wonder if we would forget our differences and unite to at least attempt fending them off.

The partisan rancor  being displayed today from both wings of the Democrat Party of our nation - Pelosi/Schumer/Schiff/Watters/et al, and the Media - reveals that our culture has lost any modicum of social courtesy or decency.

Seventy odd years ago this nation went through a similar situation, only from another nation across the "pond". Everyone did their part to support the massive effort it took for our nation to completely shift its massive industrial and human resources to win the battle against not only Japan, but only a week later, Germany in Europe.

Today, it would be questionable at best whether we would be able to take on two nations threatening our sovereignty and freedom; never mind the idea of a possible alien invasion.

The thought of such a circumstance begs the question, is it possible for our nation to turn itself around and recover the social and cultural situation we enjoyed and thought would continue 70 or 80 years ago?

As I've stated a few times in past posts here, I tend to believe that our development of mass media has become the tool by which our nation's social and cultural climate has been manipulated and gradually taken over by insidious and destructive elements which have morphed our younger generations into being ignorant about what their country was, to one obsessively focusing on constant dissatisfaction; demanding change while throwing out the "baby with the bathwater", or the freedoms and liberty we now enjoy.

Disagree? Consider the fact that we are now seeing a movement among the youth which is focusing on race as qualifying factor for most everything. Are they even aware of what M.L.K. Jr. stood for in his fight for racial equality? And then there's the trend towards completely erasing the 2nd amendment of our Constitution!

Today we have the establishment of media - powerful conglomerate corporations - who are doing their best to distract and mesmerize its viewers by entertaining them with predominantly adolescent level shows which persistently belittle the elders of its society and give only the information about events both nationally and globally that they see fit to share.

On the other hand, we have one or two media outlets who are doing their best to inform those who are cognizant of what the massive media conglomerates are putting out, of what is not being told to the masses.

How does the nation's amnesia factor into this? Here's one glaring example regarding the current immigration crisis from the Heritage Foundation:
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Happy Saturday! President Trump, Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Schumer sparred over border wall funding for 17 minutes of captivating TV. President Trump is absolutely right that the time to fund the wall and strengthen border security is now! While liberal Democrats have preached abolishing ICE, expanding asylum, and granting amnesty in 2018, Heritage Action took to Twitter this week to remind liberal Democrats about a time not long ago when securing our borders was bipartisan and asked: “What changed your mind?” In 2008, as Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said, “we certainly don’t want anymore [illegal immigrants] coming in." Share Rep. Pelosi’s #LiberalHypocrisy on Twitter HERE and Facebook HERE.

In 2009, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said, “illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple.” Share Sen. Schumer's #LiberalHypocrisy on Twitter HERE and Facebook HERE.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said we must “stop the inflood of illegal immigrants into this country,” in 2005:

To anyone who is actually thinking clearly, it's obvious that the politicians -- both liberal and conservative - are counting on American Amnesia to stay in power with the help of the Media (D).

Is Google Honest About Their Policies?

During a recent Congressional hearing with the CEO of Google Congressman Jim Jordan (R) Ohio, questioned Sundar Pichai about his company's head of Multi-Cultural Marketing and what she stated in an email to the CEO one day after the recent mid-term elections last month.

What was revealed by the Congressman about this department head's remarks was quite interesting to say the least, and amusing as to the CEO's response when pressured by Rep. Jordan regarding three words in her sentences in two different places.

The C-SPAN3 video on MRCTV's site is worth watching to understand just how much effort this tech behemoth is putting into elections for the left's benefit. And this example is only one of many. The real question you must ask yourself while watching this video is, "Do I believe the CEO with his response to the Congressman's questioning, or not?" 

In a related article from MRCNewsBusters, the Daily Caller has documented evidence that reveals how conservative news sources were downranked on their search engine.

P.S. If, for some inexplicable reason - most likely one of those technical glitches like the one Google used to explain why four conservative Congressman had their campaign accounts blocked by Google during the campaign season - this blog goes down (is shut down) since this blog is on their blogspot site, you'll understand why.

Who Are the Most Powerful in America?

In answering this question, most of us would immediately say to this question, "Well, the very rich, of course." That was my initial thought when I saw this question.

While this answer may have some merit due to their ability to apply their influence through their wealth, like George Soros, it would actually be incorrect.

In reality, the correct answer is the very thing which I've been screaming about for years in this blog. It is what the progressives implemented to subvert the resistance they met when the nation of voters rejected the kinds of changes they thought the country needed to fit their ideas of how to solve its problems.

One example is what my team of land speed racing enthusiasts encountered when we applied for a permit to run our jet car on a dry mud lake bed in Nevada. For just using the lake bed for a two week period we would have to pay a $37,000 fee AND have both a fire and medic crew present, costing several thousands more. The only way I can make sense of why this government agency is charging what it does is because it either assumes such an effort is funded by some ultra rich guy - which we're not - or, is doing its best to keep anyone from using the publicly owned land that is essentially a complete wasteland in the middle of nowhere.

PragerU has once again posted a new five-minute video which correctly reveals who are the most powerful people in our nation today. While what I've mentioned in the paragraph above may have already revealed who they are, I urge you to watch it and decide for yourself if they aren't the greatest threat to our representative republic.

Why Has Nothing Come of This?

Back on June 20th of this year 19 members of the House announced a twelve page resolution calling for the establishment of a second special prosecutor for misconduct at the highest levels of the D.O.J. and the F.B.I. regarding the so-called "Russian Collusion" investigation which, after 18 months, has produced not one scintilla of evidence proving it.

Yet, here we are with the Democrats now in control of the House starting next month. What happened to this resolution? Why didn't it go anywhere? Because the Never-Trumpers refused to sign onto the resolution?

Need a reason to understand why I pose that question about the Never-Trumpers? Check this out...

Paul Ryan Busted... Caught Secretly Working With Democrats To Scuttle The Border Wall!

       It's the betrayal to end all betrayals. As a matter of fact, if you have a weak stomach, stop reading now.

       Prior to the election, Paul Ryan and so-called Republican leaders promised the Trump Administration and the American people that they would FULLY FUND the border wall AFTER the election.

       Ryan LIED! Immediately after the election he started to plot... secretly... behind the scenes, to nullify that solemn promise!

       And when Ryan's desire for betrayal became apparent to the Trump administration, about a week ago, President Trump summoned Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell to the White House for an emergency meeting... and when all was said and done, all parties agreed that Congress would provide 5 Billion dollars (of the 20-25 billion actually needed) to fund a border wall.

       It was also reported that President Trump told Ryan and McConnell that he would veto any spending bill that did not provide the 5 billion and shut down the government.

       Now, understand one thing. For the Trump Administration, the offer of 5 billions was a compromise. It was well short of the 20-25 billion needed to fully fund the construction of a physical barrier on the border, but the willingness of the White House to compromise didn't matter to Paul Ryan. He LIED AGAIN... HE LIED TO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FACE... AND HE LIED THROUGH HIS TEETH!

       According to sources on the Hill, immediately after leaving that meeting, Ryan and Company started working on a poison-pill budget resolution that would fully fund disaster relief measures minus the additional funds promised to enhance border security.

       You can almost see him grinning from ear-to-ear after leaving the White House grounds... no one... not the President of the United States... and not the American people were going to tell him what to do!

       Ryan's intentions are clear. He believes President Trump is bluffing and he's going to call that bluff. He's trying to BLACKMAIL the Trump Administration into TOTAL SURRENDER on border security. He believes that the Trump Administration will not dare to shut down the government over a budget resolution that provides disaster relief... and we're not going to let him get away with it!

       And that's why we must call Ryan and Company on the carpet right now! Republicans will only hold the majority in Congress until the end of the month. When Nancy Pelosi gets the Speaker's gavel back, there will be no money allocated to secure our borders and that means that border security MUST HAPPEN NOW!

Watching this video from last spring when this press conference took place, will provide you with an extremely long list of evidence which overwhelmingly justifies the need for a full investigation into the massive corruption which went on in the Obama Administration.
