Liberals and Democrats Are Backtracking Now

The bars in Washington, D.C. opened at 9:00 a.m. The alcohol was being consumed by the mostly liberal bureaucrats almost immediately in order to be well "lubricated" for celebrating what they believed would be the final nail in the figurative coffin of Pres. Trump's residency in the White House.

Then, the testimony of former F.B.I. Director James Comey began, and within the first quarter of an hour after it began, the bars were filled with nothing but long faced shock that his testimony was not what they'd expected to hear. What happened? The media had told them that Comey was going to lower the boom on "The Donald", after all, and they believed this meme just like they believed that Hillary was going to win the election. How could this be?

The rest of the day was somber; spent concocting a way to come out of this whole thing looking smarter than the embarrassment that had just occurred. So, the talking heads and other leftist officials began claiming that they never stated that the President was under investigation. But, that's not what Dan McLaughlin, reporter for the National Review, points out in his article on this very point. 

Don't forget... Comey also revealed in his testimony on Thursday that A.G. Lynch encouraged him to call the investigation a "matter", rather than call the Clinton email scandal what it actually was; an investigation! But, if you understand just how the "Swamp" creatures operate, you know that most likely, nothing will come of the A.G. for her accepting Bill Clinton onto her aircraft on the Arizona tarmac only days before Comey's testimony on July 5th. (He laid out all the illegal activities Hillary engaged in, but then claimed she didn't show sufficient "intent" to prosecute her.) Dick Morris, former advisor to both Bill and Hillary, believes Comey should be prosecuted. Why not? Petraus was, and convicted for a lesser crime!

Remember this?

Rush Limbaugh, in his monologue today, pointed this out. Because of Comey's earlier closed session testimony, all Democrat Congresspersons KNEW that Trump was not under investigation. And, if Schumer, Warren, along with other fellow leftists knew, sure as the sun rises, so did the media. He called the Democrats and the media "reprobates" of the lowest order because they knew this, yet STILL continued promoting the lie that Comey refused to end all of this by not disclosing Trump was never under investigation. This lends greater credence to the article I shared which points out how Comey's appointment by Obama was a deliberate effort to make sure Trump, if elected, would not succeed. He also pointed out that Sen. Rubio asked what is probably the most critical issue of the whole eight month investigation: Why was this fact of truth the ONE thing which was the one thing which was not leaked?

Welcome to the machinations of the "Swamp"! The corruption of our political system is so corrupt it takes someone with the level of Trump's experience in New York as a property developer to understand how to negotiate the unbelievable quantity of crocodiles waiting to eat you alive.

Sooner Than Later Will Be Better!

I've been following the topic of the national debt and economy for several years now. I'm not sure why, but it's something that has always peeked my interest. Then too, I must admit, I have a propensity for being a realist, you know, like the mayor of Realville on the radio, but also a healthy respect for the fallout of what will be the aftermath of an economic collapse and how one might fair in surviving it.

The older I get, the more I tend to believe the possibility of one - possibly worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s - is eminent. While the 2007/08 situation was bad - my wife & I each lost at least a third of our private investments to that housing collapse - more and more indications are mounting now that the next one is going to be three times worse because several factors are coalescing right now due to the questionable actions taken by the Federal Reserve over the past eight years.

Here's an article which explains a bit better what I'm talking about. I hope it is beneficial to anyone who might actually read it. Yes, I realize this is a promotional advertisement drumming up business, but then one must ask one's self, "Do I want to just blow this off and get caught flat footed should something like this really does hit again?" That's what I've asked myself in the past and realized I didn't want to risk losing everything I'd worked for over my lifetime. It's also a matter of leaving something for my spouse and children after I'm not here anymore.

Who's Really Obstructing Justice?

Former F.B.I. Director Comey's testimony before the committee on Capital Hill today provided some interesting morsels for the nation to chew on, but ultimately revealed that this whole obsession by the Democrats, and moderate Republicans who are in their camp, is really nothing more than that; a "nothing burger" as many are fond to quote Hillary. 

Despite the plethora of leaks seemingly coming out of the White House and news media, there is NO evidence that Trump's campaign, or he himself, colluded with Putin to get him to win by influencing the voting system. More importantly, this whole "witch hunt" - and that's what it is by the Democrats out of anger over Hillary not winning - has NO criminal premise upon which to conduct this investigation; just claims and anonymous sources (a.k.a. leaks) which are mostly proving to be false, or made up, at best.

Even one of the greatest legal minds - Alan Dershowitz - who was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CNN (Clinton News Network) said that Trump was totally within his Constitutional powers as President to tell Director Comey what he did about the Flynn investigation. Watch the video to follow how this is carefully explained. That a liberal like Dershowitz has to explain why they're barking up the wrong tree to get back at Trump, says to me just how deeply the insanity is the liberals are now suffering.

Therefore, IMHO, to answer my question for this post, this whole investigation process which has been going on since last July, nearly a full year now, started out as a hopeful means by which the Democrats could successfully sway the election in favor of Hillary. But, when that failed, they went to "plan B", which has been to bog down Trump's administrative efforts to get things done through Congress by constantly - with the help of who really runs the leftists in our government; the media - harping on this narrative to explain to their base why they lost with the intent to drive into the public's mind  long and hard enough that they are now actually believing there's something to this made up scenario. And, thirdly, it provides a distraction by which the Democrats can keep the public off of the criminal activities they themselves engaged in during, and after, the campaign. (Don't forget the Seth Rich murder in the early morning on the streets of D.C.)

Yet, there's still not one shred of evidence to substantiate the scenario! With the revelations from Comey's testimony today, it will be interesting to see what tack the Democrats like Pelosi, Schumer, and "Whacky Watters" take with their scenario now.

How Political Correctness Has Turned Things Upside Down & Inside Out

I challenge anyone to read this article and tell me that this is progress. How does this situation make things better for society and individuals who are impacted by this? Does this promote incentive to strive at making one's self the best they can be and learn the lessons which come from going through the experience, or does it completely negate any benefit for those affected?

No, IMHO this is a prime example of how the leftist/statist is managing to turn the culture which has made our nation the greatest ever seen on earth, to one which is just as deprived, miserable and mentally unstable as the rest on the globe who've practiced such ridiculous depravity and utter nonsense which is counter to what nature and experience reveals to us as common sense.

Why do I feel so regarding this issue? As a former track and cross-country athlete in high school and college, I understand the madness this would have generated by me and my fellow athletes had such a thing taken place when I was competing in the 1970s. Only today, because the progressive agenda has managed to successfully - with the help of the mainstream media's adolescent meme of populism - brainwash the youth of our society to accept as normal, does the younger generations today accept it.

... and now, for some humor.

The Gay Cowboy............

 

A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife.  She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand.

Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk.  She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk.  He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching. 

For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well  Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, "You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels." The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.

One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock and no hired hand.  Finally he returned around two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.

She quietly called him over to her.. "Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said.

Trembling, he did as she directed.

"Now take off my boots."

He did as she asked, ever so slowly..

"Now take off my socks."

He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots.

"Now take off my skirt."

He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire light.

"Now take off my bra.."

Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor.

Then she looked at him and said, "If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired."

Socialism and "The State" Are Progressively Taking Control

Decades ago, when someone told me that some day we would see our government take more and more control over our lives, I scoffed at them. The dominant mind-set of citizens then was that we lived in the land of "the free and the home of the brave", right? After all, the parent in a family unit was seen as the ultimate authority of a child in our society back then, our government and its laws understood that premise, and we believed that this assumption would never be tampered with.

Well, here we are, decades later and one country's government is now entertaining the concept that if parents don't accept their child's "gender identity", and act according to government's expectations, then the government will take action to correct it.

Don't believe me? Here's an article which backs up this move. How long do you think it will be, if this actually passes into law in the country to our north, before we see such a bill being proposed by our own liberal/statists here in the U.S.? And who do we have to blame for such a thing even being considered? 

I'll let you tell me. Leave a comment.
