The Cause Behind Crime?

A lack of a father figure. He, he, he, he, he... that's all, folks!

Is that why this story is of no surprise to me?

Fascist Facebook Bans "Hate"

The banning by Facebook of certain so called "hate" - "dangerous people" or organizations - is nothing more than a political purge to keep the arena of ideas from having a platform to compete on. The only "hate" is what the leftists decide they don't like hearing because it makes them look like fools and idiots. If that's not fascist, then I must already be living on Mars.

If such a statement seems a bit "over the edge", then I suggest that you to watch this video here by Paul Joseph Watson. Don't know who he is? Then read this article here about it. Beyond doing that, it's up to you to decide.

EXPOSED! Clinton’s Russian plot to “slaughter Donald Trump”

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s two-year investigation is over and a redacted version of the final report has been released to the public and Congress — and now there’s now a massive spotlight on how big of a role Hillary Clinton’s team had on spreading the Russia collusion lies.

A recently resurfaced email from December of 2015, leaked by WikiLeaks, reveals that Hillary’s team spoke about a plan to “slaughter Donald Trump” by “connecting” him to Russia.

In fact, Hillary’s team laid the foundation for spreading misinformation and lies about alleged Trump-Russia collusion years before Trump secured the Republican nomination and won the election.

In other words, Hillary conspired to simultaneously bring down the president while maintaining the illusion that she only lost the election because of Russian interference.

Mueller’s report clearly stated that he found no evidence of collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia during the 2016 election.

Attorney General William Barr also announced earlier this month that the Department of Justice would not be charging the president with obstruction of justice or any other crimes.

So where did the lies start? The entire so-called “witch hunt” and false rumors of collusion began with Hillary’s team.

In the email from Brent Budowsky to John Podesta, who served as Hillary’s 2016 campaign manager, they came up with a plan to link Trump to Russia. It also included an idea on how to downplay Hillary’s role in the rise of the Islamic State terrorist group when she served as secretary of state.

After some back and forth, Brent wrote to Podesta: “Best approach is to slaughter Donald for his bromance with Putin, but not go too far betting on Putin re Syria.”

But this wasn’t the only action Hillary and her team took to push the Russian collusion narrative.

As the 2016 presidential election was ramping up, Hillary and the Democratic National Committee paid Fusion GPS roughly $9 million to fund the now infamous (and debunked) dossier by former British spy Christopher Steele.

As detailed by The New York Post, Hillary used her connections to elevate the dossier to the highest levels of the Obama administration.

The FBI, which was led at the time by James Comey, used the dossier as an excuse to wiretap the Trump presidential campaign.

This triggered the two-year, $35 million Russian meddling probe from Mueller — which only resulted in the president being vindicated.

And it all started with Hillary Clinton’s team.

Democrats Are Panicing - No Holds Barred

No Holds Barred: Having absolutely no limits or restrictions as far as the levels and nature of one's hostilities and offense; taking to an especially ruthless or vicious manner.

Instead of retelling the situation of the circus in Congress - with buckets of KFC and props of a plastic chicken - this week, I'm going to let the Wall Street Journal provide the details.

May 5th Update: Having found confirmation of what I thought was the case regarding A.G. Barr checking with Mueller about his report summary, here's the truth of it. Especially revealing are the paragraphs in the center of the article. 

So, while the liberals are doing their best to save their asses by framing the narrative with accusations that the A.G. was covering up something by putting out his summary before anyone had a chance to go through Mueller's two volumes, their using the old play book tactic of obfuscating and distracting the real issue in order to keep feeding their support base with more lies.

REVIEW & OUTLOOK

A Real Attorney General

Washington pile-ons are never pretty, but this week’s political setup of Attorney General William Barr is disreputable even by Beltway standards. Democrats and the media are turning the AG into a villain for doing his duty and making the hard decisions that special counsel Robert Mueller abdicated.

Mr. Barr’s Wednesday testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee was preceded late Tuesday by the leak of a letter Mr. Mueller had sent the AG on March 27. Mr. Mueller griped in the letter that Mr. Barr’s four-page explanation to Congress of the principal conclusions of the Mueller report on March 24 “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the Mueller team’s “work and conclusions.” Only in Washington could this exercise in posterior covering be puffed into a mini-outrage.

Democrats leapt on the letter as proof that Mr. Barr was somehow covering for Donald Trump when he has covered up nothing. Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono, the Democratic answer to Rep. Louie Gohmert, accused Mr. Barr of abusing his office and lying to Congress, and demanded that he resign. The only thing she lacked was evidence.

Mr. Barr’s four-page letter couldn’t possibly have covered all the nuances of a 448-page report. It was an attempt to provide Mr. Mueller’s conclusions to Congress and the public as quickly as possible, while he took the time to work through the entire document to make redactions required by law and Justice Department rules.

This is exactly what he promised to do in his confirmation hearing. Even Mr. Mueller’s complaining letter admits that Mr. Barr’s letter wasn’t inaccurate, a fact Mr. Barr says Mr. Mueller also conceded in a subsequent phone call. The Mueller complaint, rather, was that there was “public confusion about critical aspects” of his investigation.

Translation: Republicans were claiming vindication for Donald Trump, and Mr. Mueller was taking hits in the press for not nailing the worst President in history. Having been hailed for months as a combination of Eliot Ness and St. Thomas More, Mr. Mueller and his team of prosecutors seem to have been unnerved by some bad press clips.

Mr. Barr told the Senate Wednesday that he offered Mr. Mueller the chance to review his four-page letter before sending it to Congress, but the special counsel declined. Mr. Mueller worked for Mr. Barr, and that was the proper time to offer suggestions or disagree. Instead, Mr. Mueller ducked that responsibility and then griped in an ex-post-facto letter that was conveniently leaked on the eve of

 

Bill Barr gets smeared for refusing to duck and cover like Loretta Lynch.

 

Mr. Barr’s testimony. Quite the stand-up guy. Mr. Barr has since released the full Mueller report with minor redactions, as he promised, and with the “context” intact. Keep in mind Mr. Barr was under no legal obligation to release anything at all. Mr. Mueller reports only to Mr. Barr, not to the country or Congress.

Mr. Barr has also made nearly all of the redactions in the report available to senior Members of Congress to inspect at Justice. Yet as of this writing, only three Members have bothered— Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and ranking House Republican on Judiciary Doug Collins. Not one Democrat howling about Mr. Barr’s lack of transparency has examined the outrages they claim are hidden.

Democrats are also upset that Mr. Barr concluded that Mr. Trump did not obstruct justice regarding the Russia probe. But in that decision too Mr. Barr was behaving as an Attorney General should. Mr. Mueller compiled a factual record but shrank from a “prosecutorial judgment.” Mr. Barr then stepped up and made the call, however unpopular with Democrats and the press.

***

Contrast that to the abdication of Loretta Lynch, who failed as Barack Obama’s last Attorney General to make a prosecutorial judgment about Hillary Clinton’s misuse of classified information. Ms. Lynch cowered before the bullying of then FBI director James Comey, who absolved Mrs. Clinton of wrongdoing while publicly scolding her. That egregious break with Justice policy eventually led Mr. Comey to reopen the Clinton probe in late October 2016, which helped to elect Mr. Trump.

All of this shows again the risks of appointing special counsels. They lack the political accountability that the Founders built into the separation of powers. Mr. Mueller, in his March 27 letter, revealed again that like Mr. Comey at the FBI he viewed himself as accountable only to himself.

This trashing of Bill Barr shows how frustrated and angry Democrats continue to be that the special counsel came up empty in his Russia collusion probe. He was supposed to be their fast-track to impeachment. Now they’re left trying to gin up an obstruction tale, but the probe wasn’t obstructed and there was no underlying crime. So they’re shouting and pounding the table against Bill Barr for acting like a real Attorney General.

The Coming Campaign

With the Democratic candidate field growing almost every day now, and with over twenty in the race thus far, I thought this would be a good time to review why the Democratic Party has so many candidates and why their platform planks are going to bring out the worst in politics this next presidential campaign.

While I could spend an hour typing up a storm on listing those specific platform planks, it would be much more impactful and effective in communicating them through a short video which covers them concisely. So, please, take a moment, watch this video and pay close attention to each of the points that this spokesperson makes in explaining them.

Selective Omission

What most people never really stop and think about, or realize, is that the Media (D) has gotten very crafty in how they deal with current issues which promote their agenda and leave out evidence, facts, or information which completely negate the whole assertion on their part.

"Like what?", you ask.

Well, how about the biggest issue of the past two and a half years; Russian collusion to rig the election.

As we all know, the Media's (D) been pounding the claim that the reason Hillary lost to Trump was because Trump, his campaign, or both, were working with Russia to rig her loss in 2016. Actually, if one does some real hard recall, or research to find it online, it was Trump who made the claim during the campaign that he was the one concerned that the election could be rigged in favor of Hillary.

So, who but Pres. Obama from the Rose Garden points out how ridiculous such a concern by Trump is in this video from Real Clear Politics on October 18, 2016. Watch it for yourself!

Why do I focus on this? Because it reveals how the Media (D) has intentionally ignored this fact. Instead, they have ranted and raved on CNN, MSNBC and other liberal stations almost 24/7 for the past several years that the dossier proved that it was Trump who rigged the election.

And yet, even after the whole thing was proven a hoax once the Mueller report came out, the liberals - now in power in the House of Congress - is like a dog refusing to let it go and out to destroy a President who's making serious and siginficant changes to our seriously corrupt political culture.

Say what? If this says anything, it is that the liberals honestly believe that we "deplorables" are that stupid to believe them when they make their claim about something when it comes to their power and control issues.

The Future of Education: A View From the Inside

I've worked in public education for forty years now; 30 years full-time, and after retiring, 10 years of substituting in a few other districts around the area where I live.

I've seen the gradual shift over these years from bad to worse. The main elements I've learned which have impacted education have been the federal government, the local, state and national teacher's unions, the judicial system and the gradual removal of any control of disciplinary actions by the classroom teacher.

Most of us are already fairly familiar with the fact that, during the Carter Administration of the late '70s, at the start of my teaching career, Congress approved a new bureaucracy which was supposed to improve the quality of education; the Dept. of Education. And, although I suspected that it would not accomplish that goal, we now know from the results of the last 40 years since its inception, I was correct in my suspicion.

Instead, it's done what most other bureaucracies do; suck into the oblivion of the federal government, billions of tax dollars hiring thousands of employees which, from their distant cubicles, somewhere in Washington, D.C. thousands of miles away, exercise their infinite wisdom making regulations that, instead of making learning for students more efficient, impose all sorts of demands on state, and districts, which only accomplish the need to spend more time to fill out paperwork by teachers and administration to meet those demands. It has generated more complex requirements for the teacher  and programs to teach in order to meet the increasing diversity of students flowing into the schools. As is typical for all federal bureaucracies, it has never proposed ideas for actually making things more efficient, or cutting back on growing its number of employees over the decades it's existed.

The national teacher's union clearly is simply a political action entity - always liberal - which, because of its hundreds of thousands of members strong clout, exercises its will on Congress and the Dept. of Education by  lobbying them on their decisions for new and weirder laws and curriculum as the years have passed. 30 years ago, we wouldn't have even dreamed that children would be learning about the details of how to how to put a condom on a cucumber to prevent STDs. Now, it's the norm.

The judicial system has played a part in this deteriorating behemoth as well. With the shift by the federal government of moving away from supporting large institutions for mentally disturbed or dysfunctional individuals, many parents with children who needed proper care - which included receiving an education - due to their disabilities, organized and filed lawsuits in court to force school districts to accommodate these children during the '80s. 

In some rulings made by judges in various cases, they've imposed legal requirements for inclusive experiences of these disabled children, but without mandating any increase in funding for these programs on the state's legislature. Consequently, there was a gradual increase in the number of special education programs which the school district had to fund in creative ways, while taking from other programs such as vocational ed programs. 

As my career moved through the years, I saw more and more aides, often one adult to one child in a wheelchair, or laying on a matt in a room, tending to them during the school day. In my opinion, I doubted these children actually learned anything which really made a difference in their future, but since it was legally required, the schools had to provide the services. Now, it's a major share of the district's budget every year.

Another trend I witnessed occur over the decades was the size of district administration; a direct result of the Dept. of Education's new fangled programs required under federal laws passed by Congress. When a new superintendent came into the district and streamlined the administration by cutting staff and sending the funds to the classrooms, things actually improved. However, when that one left, and another replaced him, or her, the administration grew again and a greater share of the district's budget was eaten up to pay their ever expanding salaries which never taught any students, instead, they just harassed the teacher to carry out their edicts or monitor the program they were responsible for running. Of course, just like most of our politicians, they promised the moon, but delivered a clod of dirt.

Over these years students have become more aware of just how much power they actually have because of various social attitudes which have evolved and become dominant since my time in school as a student. We're all familiar when we were growing up that we conducted ourselves when interacting with a teacher in the classroom with respect and a willingness to comply with their directions because they were our elders. Not today! More and more of them just sit and look at you after being directed to do whatever the situation requires, and stare at you; daring you to make them, or worse yet, telling you to "F" yourself. Administrative policies and dealings with these students rarely result in any significant consequences for these offenders. Now, the state of CA is considering a law which restricts the number of suspensions for most student offenses to two per year, rather than having a program to remediate, or rehabilitate the growing occurrences of more and more severe instances of assault and disruption. As a result, the learning environment in the classroom has suffered for those students who are actually trying to learn.

Finally, just the other day while substituting in a new school near where I live, I witnessed the difference at the beginning of the day that contrasted the degree of change our school culture has gone through. When I started my career in the classroom, it was expected that every student would stand, put their hand over their heart on their chest, and participate in reciting the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag to start the day. During the span of years I taught, there was a big state-wide debate which the legislature passed a bill on regarding the flag salute issue of whether it was required. Just the other day, I witnessed half of the class of 20 students who sat quietly in their chair as the other half of the class stood as us "old fogies" and veterans would expect. It caused me to check into the law the legislature passed years ago during the debate that raged and learned that the law only requires that a student not be disrespectful or disruptive during the flag salute, but are not required to even stand with, face the flag with their arms by their side, and show any respect to our symbol we veterans served, and some who gave the ultimate sacrifice to defend.

I firmly believe that the greatest foe our nation is dealing with when it comes to changing the direction our nation's education is headed in is our collective morals as a people. Yet, as we've no doubt seen in various forms of communications, any reference in public schools over the last 40 years has been completely removed; and thus we've witnessed the rise of charter schools.More and more parents are paying private school tuition as a result in order to give their children a chance for a future, yet more recently, we've seen a rise in the dialogue of the nation that this is just "white privilege", as though they have no right to exercise any independent choice for them.

Ladies and gentlemen, if this is the path our nation is on doesn't change, then we truly are headed for ruination in the future!

Isn't It Strange?

If women are upset with Trump’s naughty words, then who bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray?

James Comey replied, “I don’t remember,” “I don’t recall,” and “I don’t know” 236 times under oath when being questioned, but remembered, recalled, and knew enough to write his book. Funny thing!

Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women’s rights only matter if they’re liberals.

No border walls, no voter ID laws, and liberals think we’re too stupid to figure it out.

Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 a year. Yet, her mom flies around the country speaking out about white privilege.

If walls and guns don’t work, then please explain to me why celebrities and politicians are surrounded by them.

SOCIALISM: An idea that’s so good it has to be mandatory.

Liberals say: “Don’t let unvaccinated kids into our schools!” Yet, the same liberals say, “Let thousands of unvaccinated illegal immigrant kids into our schools!”

Bernie Sanders walks into a bar and shouts out, “Free drinks for everyone!”, then immediately looks around and yells, “Who’s buying?”

“You know that you live in a great country when even the people who absolutely detest it refuse to leave.” Candice Owens

The law which allows for the separation of children from their parents who’ve crossed the border illegally was signed by President Bill Clinton in 1997. So, why is it a problem for liberals now?

68 people were killed in mass shootings in 2018. But, did you also know that around 2,000 people were killed by illegal aliens?

… and just like that, they went from being extremely concerned about foreign interference in our elections to being for non-citizens from foreign countries voting in our elections.

MAGA – Make Alexandria Go Away

President Trump’s wall would cost less than the Obamacare website that didn’t work did. Let that sink in!

14 Million kids are living in poverty in America, and who knows how many homeless are on the streets, yet liberals fight to allow for more illegal aliens into the country.

Pennsylvania officials admit to finding 11,198 non-citizens registered to vote on their state rolls, yet liberals claim there’s no voter fraud.

Our FBI sent more armament and troops to arrest Roger Stone than the Obama Administration and S.O.S. Clinton sent to defend Ambassador Stevens in the Benghazi attack.

60 years ago Venezuela was 4^th on the world economic index. Today, it is 179^th and its citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 short years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism.

Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145, 600, 000 to the Clinton Foundation. Yet, it was Trump who was investigated for over two years at a cost $36,000,000 of taxpayers money.

Nany Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union address, while President Trump invited victims of illegal aliens. Let that sink in!

A socialist is basically a communist who doesn’t have the power to take everything from their citizens… yet!

VOTE REPULICAN… They may not be perfect, but unlike the other party, they’re not trying to destroy our country’s language, borders and culture.

Liberals feel the same way about firearms and wealth. It’s okay for them, but not for you.

A party that support abortion over life, illegal aliens over its own citizens, and refugees over its veterans thinks its going to lecture me on morality? I don’t think so!

Sweden is the rape capital of Europe, thanks to its immigration policies. Keep that in mind when socialists say that America should be like Sweden.

Please explain how one walks 3,000 miles across Mexico without food or support, and show up at the border of the U.S. 100 lbs. overweight, and with a cell phone!

If liberals think capitalism is the problem in America, there are 195 other countries where they can get a whole lot less of it. That they don’t move there should tell you what their true agenda is.

“We spend $18 Billion a year on healthcare for illegal aliens, and the Democrats can’t find $5 Billion for border security?” Laura Ingraham

Alexandria Occasio-Cortez wants to ban cars, airplane travel, and provide universal income for doing no work, and thinks socialism works. Yet, she declares that Donald Trump is crazy!

Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones to get her to go away. I don’t recall the FBI raiding his lawyer’s office, do you?

A.O.C’s annual salary is $174,000. She’s demanding a 70% tax rate. So, if 70% of $174,000 equals $121,800 in taxes, then it’s time for her to pay her fair share.

Bernie Sanders owns three houses and has a net worth of over $3,000,000. Yet, he hasn’t taken in a single refugee to live in those other two houses. Fancy that!

I have something to wake up to and be grateful for every day… that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States.

To all anti-Trumpers… Thank you for showing everyone just how idiotic liberals really are and giving us Trump supporters a daily reason to laugh and smile.

The same media that told us that Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning the 2016 election thinks I’m going to believe them when they tell us that Trump’s approval ratings are low?

The electoral college worked just fine when Hillary Clinton ran, but lost in 2016. Yet now, the Democrats are telling us it needs to be eliminated? Think about that for a moment.

The U.S. Supreme Court has had nine justices since 1868, but now the Democrats are claiming it needs to be expanded so the conservative vote can be nullified?

It’s now clear… Robert Mueller quit digging when all the tunnels kept leading back to Hillary Clinton and Pres. Obama!

Congresswoman Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws, but requires attendees to her town hall meetings to show photo IDs to enter.
