... because they want power back!

Laura Ingraham gives a good synopsis of what's gone in with the Democrats during the first 18 months of the Trump administration and contrasts it with what they engaged in during the Obama administration.

You'll be saying to yourself, "Yea... Wow, I forgot about all that stuff!"

What Does Ultimate Bureaucracy Look Like?

Watch this great video from Prager U with Nigel Farage of the U.K. explain it. It's more than you can imagine!

And the liberal/socialists want the U.S. to do the same over here with Canada & Mexico!

Speaking Truth to Power

James sets the record straight on what Project Veritas' goal is.

There are few brave souls today like James O'Keefe and his Project Veritas.

I had this 30minute video of Jame being interviewed about his latest book, "American Pravda" on C-SPAN and he is asked by the moderator to explain what the purpose of his organization is about. He also fields and responds to questions from callers; C-SPAN's standard format for its guests. What he explains is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the massively lopsided bias of the mainstream media today.

Any time anyone challenges the establishment which is only interested in maintaining the deception of the public by perpetuating the lies they tell, they're going experience a lot of push back and character assassination.

I urge you to take the time to watch this fascinating segment to gain a more accurate understanding and insight into why he's done what he has, and still is; speaking truth to power which tends to be corrupt.

Future Projections Not That Rosy

For a Baby Boomer like myself, the financial news isn't promising.

As I transition from working my backside off for decades I want to be able to rest assured that I'm going to be able to enjoy my sunset years. 

 

Yes, I've invested. Yes, I have a pension. But certain indicators project a not-so-rosy outlook down the financial road, it makes me highly concerned that not all of what I expect from my "nest egg" may not be there when I need it. Being what Rush Limbaugh calls a citizen of "Realville", I remember all too well how both my wife and I lost one-third of our investments in the 2007/08 recession after the housing market collapsed.

I know - some of you are saying "What rock have you been living under, buddy?" You're probably saying this because of the phenomenal rise in stock market volume and earnings. Yes, I admit this has been great for the economy, but that is only a temporary thing; it never lasts forever! And, yes, Trump's reduction of federal regulations which has handcuffed businesses in the past has played a role in this as well.

But as the saying goes, "What goes up, must come down." Here's why I say that: demographic projections. People are the engine of the economy and we can't ignore this fact.

What am I getting at? Well, here's an example: one financial analyst’s predictions over many decades which argue that he's got something to his thesis. Who is this person? You may have heard of him because of the books he's written on that thesis; Harry Dent. (‘Ive provided this general link to allow my reader to make the decision as to whether, or not, his take on demographics has merit.) Personally, I don't understand why anyone would discount his work because it seems to be grounded on sound factual theory and precedence.

One point I find interesting in this outlook is the real estate market. (I must note here that this factor is applied to the nation as a whole. There are regions where it will not apply.) Right now "Baby Boomers" who own houses are beginning to sell them at a rate that may soon outpace the younger generations who want to buy them. If there are fewer younger people who are buying houses for sale by a larger age group, then naturally the housing market will suffer a depression to some degree. Just how bad that will be is more difficult to predict.

I'm not trying to be the proverbial "Debbie Downer", but given the current pension debt condition of many states today - I'll let the reader do their own research on this topic – I conclude that things are not looking as rosy as our media sources want us to believe. I'm always reminded of something I learned years ago; those in authority don't always want the public to know just how bad things really are, in order to avoid pubic panicking and creating an out of control situation, in hopes that their policies will somehow work them out of that fiscal hole in which they've found themselves.

What's the average Joe to do?

Liberal's Disconnect With Free Speech Rights

With all the attention in the media about public schools across the nation allowing, or even encouraging to have students participate in the protest march on Wed. March 14th - the one month anniversary of the Parkland High School massacre by the confessed killer of 17 of his classmates - free speech apparently doesn't apply to everyone, just liberals and those who agree with their views.

A teacher at a high school held a discussion with her class about this topic and, for the sake of discussion of the topic, she posed the alternative view question; couching it terms of students protesting abortion, since the logic follows that if schools condone one cause, they then should allow protest walkouts for all causes.

The school district put her on paid administrative leave. If I were her, I'd hire a lawyer and take it as far as necessary; even to the Supreme Court. The school districts need to understand that just because some parents are offended by an opposing view, a teacher's free speech rights still exist. After all, conservatives don't go whining to school boards, demanding they be fired, just because of the views their mostly liberal teachers espouse all the time.

 Visit this link and watch the news video of this for further details of how public schools are driven, not by what our Constitution tells us ALL citizens should enjoy the right of, but by only one political view... theirs!

It will certainly be interesting to learn what the outcome of this will be in the end. As a former teacher in public school, I understand all too well the disturbing situation this teacher is in.

Navigating the Emotional Roller Coaster of Climate Change?

Ms. Atkinson lectures this course at UW-Bothell campus.

Yup, you read that title right, it just keeps getting weirder and weirder! Caution: snowflake warning!

This climate change issue has now developed its own reality for liberals and in my opinion is another of the many indications that it's developing a sub-culture in the world.

Here's the teaser ShiftWA.org sent out in their email to subscribers today:

From the “you could make this up but why would you” file, UW-Bothell is offering a course to help students navigate the emotional roller coaster of climate change. Jennifer Wren Atkinson, the course lecturer, said, “We haven’t had to spend any time debating whether climate change is actually happening. It’s more, ‘What’s my personal responsibility for this, and how do I develop the personal resources to navigate it?’” She also said she thinks tears and emotional moments are “our starting point” for the course. (The Seattle Times)

That's right, they haven't even spent any time debating whether climate change is actually happening because they're so emotionally distraught over their personal responsibility! That's how bizarre this has become for those who are emotionally, rather than rationally, driven by their ideology. Forget even discussing whether it's actually happening, that would challenge their intellectual abilities to deal with facts. Just get all emotionally worked up by the idea and take the course at your local college! That should do the trick.

Only yesterday afternoon I was listening to the Lars Larson Show on my truck radio and was hearing a guest who was on the show explain why climate change is nothing more than scam by the left on the younger generations. It was such a great explanation that I want to share it for my readers to hear off the show's podcast here. Once on the page and to get directly to the part of the show where this guest speaks to this issue, click on the audio bar at the 44:29 point where it begins for about 20 minutes. It's worth the time to listen, then share with your friends the URL for them to hear it as well.

The Liberal Interview Tactic

It's become apparent to me that the liberal tactic whenever one is invited onto a conservative news show like Tucker Carlson, or Laura Ingraham for instance, is to do whatever is necessary to get their talking points across in whichever way accomplishes that objective. I've seen this type of tactic implemented time after time on a variety of shows; mostly on Fox News shows though.

Yes, they understand that they must use any opportunity they get to bolster their narrative of activism using this strategy when asked to come on and explain themselves for the apparent hypocrisy they're exhibiting. And why is this happening? They know they're losing the propaganda campaign they've engaged in to discredit our President now that Trump is getting things done!


Case in point... Mayor Catherine Pugh, of Baltimore, MD was recently on the Laura Ingraham Show to explain why she was having the city of Baltimore provide buses for transportation to the March 20th march/rally to be held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Pay close attention to how this interview goes on for 10 minutes. What does she say is her goal, in answer to Laura's initial question of providing transportation? This is KEY! (This point is directly related to the coordinated agenda of the left. While watching this video on YouTube, should you see another video off to the side about "Indoctrination Factories" from Laura's show, I urge you to also watch it to understand why I say this is a coordinated effort by the left.) Note the apparent behavior of the Mayor in how gracious, courteous, and respectful she is. Also, notice how she deflects answers to questions Laura poses to her regarding the blatant hypocrisy of paying for transportation to a protest in contrast to the abysmal record the city has had in educational matters there in Baltimore. It's just so heart warming!

Note: On an unrelated, but ideologically similar topic, this article about liberal's elitist attitude makes a great point. Here's one sentence from it:

One of the left’s favorite tactics is calling their opponents “uneducated.”

As a former educator myself, I know of this tactic all too well.
