Are These Our Future Leaders?

From an Oregon Resident:

While I was getting a coffee, I overheard 7 young people (22-26 years old, 5 males, 2 female) who have been protesting in downtown Portland the last two nights.

 

I told them I was doing research and asked nicely if they would answer some questions. They were cool with it, so I sat down and went for it.

 

Ø Three voted. Of the four who didn't, none was registered to vote.

 

Ø None of them researched independently either candidate.

 

Ø All were for Hillary but preferred Bernie.

 

Ø Why the Democratic Candidate?

· "More things are taken care of."
· "Time to have a woman President."
· "Democrats aren't sexist or racist."

 

Ø Six of them live at home.

 

Ø All are under their parents insurance.

 

Ø Two have "real" jobs.

 

Ø Three aren't working, nor are they trying hard to find a job either.

 

Ø Parents pay for everything in their life or subsidize it.

 

Ø Six get money from mom or dad every month.

 

Ø Two have been on unemployment for 6+ months.

 

Ø One is at Portland State U, doesn't work, and parents pay for everything.

 

Ø All 7 said Trump is a racist/sexist. I asked to cite proof ... "That tape, man!"

 

Ø When I asked, as a man myself, “Have you ever said anything like that when you've been hanging out with your buddies? All five males said "Yes."

 

Ø Would you say it if you knew you were on tape? All five answered "No."

 

Ø What's the difference? I asked. “You've all said bad stuff like that.

Does that mean you hate women and are a sexual predator?"

 

Nothing. No answer.

 

Ø None could tell me how our government works ... they didn't know how laws are passed, how the House of Representatives or the Senate work.

 

Ø None could explain how a bill is passed.

 

Ø Only one could tell me the difference between legal and illegal immigration. One of them said, "Legal immigration is when you immigrate legally." Seriously.

 

Ø None could explain the purpose of the Electoral College or how it works.

 

In 10 minutes they felt they had explained everything. Nice kids ... but so ignorant. I know some awesome, phenomenal young adults; but I'm afraid the majority are like these seven. Too many participation trophies, too much coddling by parents and teachers.

 

In 1944 18 year-olds stormed the beach at Normandy into almost certain death.

 

In 2016 18-year-olds feel unsafe because words hurt their feelings.

 

Admit it or not, this country is in deep "do do"!

Finally... A Positive Story About Our U.S. Flag!

With all the negative stories bombarding the country in the media every day, it's a nice change to see this story posted about a high school and its principal in Richmond, VA.

What Our Own Government & Media Is Not Telling Us

Today our media is abuzz with so many stories and articles attempting to make President Trump appear illegitimate and completely ignorant on how to deal with the politics of a federal government bureaucracy. Yet, very little, if any, is said in the mainstream press about a very real and potentially devastating blow which an enemy of the U.S. could possibly carry out that would change everything in the blink of an eye.

I'll admit I am not "up to speed" on just what our own military has done, if anything during the last administration to prepare for such a possible event, but as we watch Iran and North Korea continue to gear up with more frequent missile launches, the potential for an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) is rapidly becoming more possible with every passing day. I pray that, if Pres. Trump is doing anything to strengthen our military and national defenses, it is hardening our defenses against such a possibility.

As this article points out, currently our missile defense system doesn't look to the south for an approaching missile; only north to the Arctic pole because of our cold war fears of the '50s. So, it would seem logical that a newer south looking missile defense system would be in short order here.

Just what would an EMP hit over the North American continent do to us? Well, a lot more than you think. Check here, and here, for some starters on what we're dealing with; it's not pretty!

"Us" by Paul Genova

(Mr. Paul Genova has been President and Chief Operating Officer of Wireless Telecom Group Inc. since June 30, 2016.  I haven't said too much about this election since the start...but this is how I feel.... I'm noticing that a lot of people aren't graciously accepting the fact that their candidate lost. In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about those who voted for Trump. Some are apparently "triggered" because they are posting how "sick" you feel about the results. How did this happen you ask? Well here is how it happened! You created "us" when you attacked our freedom of speech. You created "us" when you attacked our right to bear arms. You created "us" when you attacked our Christian beliefs. You created "us" when you constantly referred to us as racists. You created "us" when you constantly called us xenophobic. You created "us" when you told us to get on board or get out of the way. You created "us" when you attacked our flag. You created "us" when you took God out of our schools. You created "us" when you confused women's rights with feminism. You created "us" when you began to emasculate men. You created "us" when you decided to make our children soft.   You created "us" when you decided to vote for progressive ideals. You created "us" when you attacked our way of life. You created "us" when you decided to let our government get out of control. You created "us" the silent majority. You created "us" when you began murdering innocent law enforcement officers. You created "us" when you lied and said we could keep our insurance plans and our doctors. You created "us" when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country. You created "us" when you took a knee, or stayed seated or didn't remove your hat during our National Anthem. You created "us" when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating. And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.   And we did it with ballots, not bullets. With ballots, not riots.With ballots, not looting. With ballots, not blocking traffic. With ballots, not fires, except the one you started inside of "us". "YOU" created "US". It really is just that simple.

Seven Interesting Questions About Slavery

F.B.I. Director James Comey - Questions & Views

Anyone who's been paying attention to the news regarding Hillary Clinton's recent coming out and her narrative about how everyone else - except herself and her policies - is to blame for her losing the election to Donald Trump, knows that the F.B.I. Director - James Comey - has played a key role in the whole scenario.

Here are a couple of interesting interviews - one by Tucker Carlson on FOX, and another on Breibart News - which shed some interesting views and perspective on the situation.

News Flash to Hillary!!! In YOUR mind, you believe you would have won the election had it been held on October 27th based on the understanding that you had the entire mainstream media, pollsters and Hollyweird, backing you. In other words, the truth about your policies and past record as a First Lady, Senator and Sec. of State, were almost overcome and the voting public was almost brainwashed that you would not be a continuation - nay, an acceleration - of the past administration's agenda of dividing the country further along the lines of identity politics and political correctness.

Bullying Those You Disagree With Does Not Help Public Schools

This recent article from the Washington Policy Center is an example of how public education in our country has successfully become so lopsided to the left in its ideology. There is a link in the first sentence to the presentation which contains the evidence cited in this article. Here are a few points from it:

"It is not possible to have an informed conversation about education reform when WASA implies that people who hold alternate views are fascists and communists.  This mean-spirited tactic comes across as a transparent effort to bully others into silence.

Reasonable people can disagree.  Engaging in name-calling while citing the most reprehensible figures from history does not make progress in improving public education.  Instead, all of us who care about children should work together in a peaceful and collaborative way to make sure schools are well funded and use public money effectively, so that every child learns."

I am convinced - after 30 years in public education - that the whole education infrastructure from the Dept. of Education, to the NEA, its state unions, on down to the local level districts' unions, has been thoroughly indoctrinated with the leftist/socialist mentality.. It's evident in the curriculum, policy emphasis, and treatment of those in the profession who don't go along with their agenda. Those teachers who voice any alternative view or opposition to whatever is being proposed from the leadership at local or state conventions for the union is subtly and effectively ostracized and marginalized (sounds like Saul Alynski tactics to me).

Wasn't there a prominent communist leader who said something about controlling the education of the youth is the key to controlling a country's direction & future? In observing leftists' reactions to the new administration, they've confirmed without a doubt to me that they will say things about their opposition which is actually a truism about themselves; using Goebbels & Lenin. 

Yes, liberalism is a mental disorder!
