What Was the Cold War?

Having grown up and lived the majority of my life during this period in international history, I can personally attest to the veracity and accuracy of this presenter's account of what the cold war was actually about; something most millennials know very little, to nothing about because our public education system doesn't teach it much anymore.

Some of my prior posts have shared how many of the tactics and strategies used by Stalin, Kruschev, and other communist leaders used to impose tyranny on their people, we are seeing today many similar tactics and strategies being disseminated through our colleges and universities today; promoting propaganda about the virtues of socialism (communism without a gun to one's head) and the degrading lies about how the United States was horrible throughout its history as a capitalist nation. (Just think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who has recently become the new face of the Democrat Party.)

Prager U's latest video provides a brief overview of what occurred. I would recommend viewing this short piece at least two or three times so that one can really grasp the complexity of what's revealed here. It may provide a broader context about what's going on now in international foreign relations.

To Kill An American

You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American; any American. 

So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is. So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!) 

'An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish , Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan. 

An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans. 

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in  Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.

An American is also free to believe in no religion...... For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.   

An American lives in the most prosperous land in  the history of the world.

The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God-given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness. 

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return........

When Afghanistan was overrun by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!

As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan .. 
The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These, in fact, are the people who built America .

Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11 , 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

  
So you can try to kill an American if you must.. Hitler did. So did General Tojo , and Stalin , and Mao Tse-Tung, and other bloodthirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself . Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.

Why the Electoral College is so Critical

I may have posted this before - long ago - but it deserves repeating again...
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

In their infinite wisdom, the United States’ founders created the Electoral College to ensure ALL the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?

The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.

Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood.

There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Trump won 3,084 of them.

Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.

Trump won 46 of them.

Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond).

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than account for Clinton's "winning the popular vote" of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.

The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles ought to dictate the outcome of a national election.

Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country! But that 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation’s problems foment (projects, failed families, failed politics, and failed lives within failed bureaucracies).

1984: Alive & Well In 2018

When Donald Trump shocked the nation's liberals in the fall of 2016 I was doing guard work in a Barnes & Noble bookstore.

This particular store was in a neighborhood of dominantly liberals. It didn't take long before the impact became obvious on the book shelves and magazine racks.

A particular book - George Orwell's novel 1984 - became a hot selling item; not because they wanted to educate themselves about the era of government that was soon to exit, but to inform themselves of what they believed was to come.

I innocently inquired of a few patrons who were standing at the shelf why they were buying the paperback version of this classic. 

They expressed dismay and fear of what had happened and were certain that the only way this tragedy occurred was that Trump had conspired with Putin's Russia to rig the election outcome.

Also, such long time prominent publications as Time, Newsweek, and The Economist were gradually coming out with front cover lead story images of Trump in an extremely negative light.

While the media has every right to express their views, they don't seem to care that they are deliberately and intentionally misleading the public about his plans and intentions. It's no wonder Pres. Trump has been calling them "Fake News".

After nearly two years the mainstream media's drum beat against Pres. Trump has not relented. Yet, all indications, based on what he has done to improve the nation's economy, employment, and national security will be difficult to fight at the ballot box this mid-term election.

In fact, the liberals in the country who still believe in the Russia/Trump collusion fantasy - despite the mountain of evidence indicating that it was the Clinton Campaign and the D.N.C. were behind this made up claim - the intensity and insanity of the likes of  Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Nancy Pelosi have ratcheted up their fantastic claims against the President.

Over the first two years since this political earthquake hit the nation, social media companies have gradually begun to exercise their power and control over the nation's dialog online; ignoring any first amendment rights individuals have under our country's Constitution.

While I do not subscribe to the views of the likes of Alex Jones' often extreme claims, I do not agree with the latest move to block or remove his material from the Internet. He has a right to disseminate his views as much as any other American citizen does under his first amendment right.

However, it appears the concepts of Orwell's classic novel are taking root among the liberals who are in control of our social media. And then, there's this...

It seems as though liberals shocked at losing the election were buying the 1984 novel to bone up on how to best implement Orwell's prophetic ideas of how the state effectively clinched control of the situation.

The U.S. Now Has A Two-Tiered Justice System!

Don't believe me?

Get and read Gregg Jarrett's latest book The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme To Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump.

If you're not into doing that, then just read this page about former FBI Director James Comey. This revelation is yet another in many acts of breaking federal law by him.

The day following this report, Judicial Watch filed and got an order from a D.C. court to demand the DOJ preserve Comey's emails.

What do you think the odds are that he'll ever see bars from the inside? I'm not holding my breath.

Looking at this whole "witch hunt" from another perspective, listen to this comment by Mark Levin about Obama meddling in Israel's election during his administration.

What's Wrong With Masculine Men?

I've often wondered why the left is so hateful of President Trump, and white Christian males.

Is it because, as an "outsider" - not a politician who came out of the swamp - and beat their expected favorite in 2016? Partly, yes.

Is is because he was during his campaign, and is during his presidency, proposing and acting on things which, if successful, would prove the left's agenda of how to improve the country wrong? Yes, partly.

Or, is it because he is someone who is a self-made, independent, wealthy, take no crap, man? Most definitely, yes.

The left's solution to achieve their utopian dream these days is to feminize men to be more passive. And, what's wrong with that?

They claim the men's masculine toxicity is causing all of the wars, rapes, and division among us. Do you agree with that concept?

But, if we're thinking critically, we should be considering the ramifications of both sides of this approach to "fixing" society's problems.

Prager U, in their latest video, discusses this issue and makes some points that the left doesn't seem to care about, or don't agree with.

Perhaps they don't care about the negative outcomes of their approach to solving problems today is because liberalism is a mental disorder and they're not thinking too clearly.
