Oh Boy, RFK Jr. Shows his True Colors

From Revolver News:

An interesting shift has occurred: RFK Jr. appears to have pivoted away from targeting “Trump supporters” with his anti-vaccine and anti-Ukraine jargon and is now embracing his much more natural looney progressive stance, likely in an effort to consolidate the radical left-wing vote. This strategy seems logical when you think about it. Taking on Trump’s solid base might seem like a dead end, but the real opportunity for RFK Jr. lies in cutting into Biden’s fragile support—a scenario desperate Dems hardly need or want.

The Wall Street Journal’s political analysis suggests that this VP pick is turning out to be a boon for Trump and a headache for Biden. Just take a look at how Trump’s polling lead ticks up whenever RFK Jr. enters the mix.

Intelligencer:

Kennedy was obviously drawing some votes from both major-party candidates, and he still is. But more recent polling has most often shown him helping Trump more than Biden, both nationally and in the battleground states. The RealClearPolitics polling averages nationally now show Trump leading Biden by 1.6 percent (46.6 to 45.0 percent) in a two-candidate race, and by 5.4 percent (40.7 to 35.3 percent, with Kennedy at 12.3 percent) in a three-candidate race. There isn’t much battleground state polling of a three-candidate race, but we do have ample numbers for a five-candidate race, with Kennedy’s support dwarfing that of Jill Stein and Cornel West combined. These polls tell a similar tale of Kennedy boosting Trump marginally. In the RCP averages, Trump’s lead grows from 5.2 to 6.0 percent in Arizona, 5.2 to 7.4 percent in Georgia, 3.0 to 6.0 percent in Nevada, 4.4 to 6.7 percent in North Carolina, 0.2 to 2.0 percent in Pennsylvania, and 0.8 to 2.7 percent in Wisconsin (Michigan is an outlier with Trump’s lead dropping slightly — from 3.5 to 2.8 percent — when the other candidates are added in).

President Trump is leading Biden in nearly every poll, and honestly, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. Under Grandpa Joe, the country’s turned into an absolute dumpster fire—like everything’s gone sideways and upside down.

And speaking of Trump, here’s his latest scathing analysis of RFK Jr.’s campaign:

With a campaign already being dragged down by a senile, buffoonish candidate, the last thing Democrats need is some radical pulling off progressive PR stunts. This is exactly what RFK’s “VP event” was—complete with drum-playing Indian tribes and the announcement of a filthy rich globalist harpy running mate named Nicole Shanahan.

Perfect. Send in the clowns.

ZeroHedge: 

What do we know of Ms. Shanahan?

Not much, except that she is a philanthropist to largely progressive causes and that she is very rich.

She reportedly helped pay for Mr. Kennedy’s Super Bowl ad to the tune of $4 million via a Super PAC. The ad got mixed reviews and ended up with the candidate apologizing to his family

How rich Ms. Shanahan really is is unclear, but it is clear the bulk of her money comes from her divorce from Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google and, depending on the source, the ninth richest man on the planet.

RFK Jr’s campaign had been luffing and needed a boost. He looked to the financial. It’s hard to blame him, because that’s the putrid state of American politics. But if you’re trying to run an honest broker campaign against corrupt traditional parties, it’s not the best approach. It’s actually a turn-off.

This is rather sad because of the optimism and excitement he initially engendered.

It was said that much of RFK Jr’s appeal was with the more libertarian right, not the increasingly leftist Democrats. I thought that was accurate. I would imagine that unfortunately those days are over if the nomination of the “progressive” Ms. Shanahan is real. Who will RFK Jr. appeal to now?

These cringe-worthy developments ought to serve as a massive wake-up call for so-called “conservatives” who cooled on Trump and fooled themselves into thinking RFK Jr.’s anti-vax stance somehow made him a viable “centrist” candidate. Well, as it turns out, RFK couldn’t resist going “full radical.” He may have attempted to come across as a relatable centrist, but that fake facade didn’t last long. Now, he’s beclowning himself on stage, flanked by drumming Indians and his VP wannabe, some high-falutin, uber-wealthy Silicon Valley lawyer.

Here’s what conservative pundit and popular podcaster Charlie Kirk had to say about the embarrassing moment:

RFK’s vice presidential announcement event opened with a “land acknowledgment” of the Muwekma Ohlone Indian tribe. These land acknowledgments are used by radicals to delegitimize the existence of the United States and the people who settled it, and to demand sweeping legal and financial privileges for these tribes at the expense of the American people.

First off, it’s a historical fact that nearly every society has faced conquest at some point. “In fact, virtually every person on Earth lives on “stolen land.”

Japan, Korea, and Thailand are the only nations that dodged European colonization. Like it or not, conquest is part of human nature. It might be high time we accept that fact and move forward. Additionally, maybe it’s time to rethink the whole strategy of parading “drumming Indians” on stage just to demonize America and score some progressive brownie points. Aside from that, Democrats can’t be thrilled about RFK Jr. veering so far left. Pulling these stunts doesn’t do much to Trump’s base, but it poses a real headache for Biden. If RFK keeps leaning into this, he’s bound to peel away a chunk of Biden voters—the ones craving more progressive action and those put off by Biden’s age, seeing him more as an “Alzheimer’s patient” in a suit than a president. It’s a tightrope walk that could end up tipping the scales big time, and that’s why Democrats are in trouble. They’re not just fighting President Trump; they’re also fighting RFK Jr.

Sure, Kennedy is starting to come off as a major Bozo to those on the right, but to the lukewarm progressives, he probably seems like a much-needed breath of fresh air.

Murray on Hamas’ Philosophy: All Civilians, all Children are Tools of War

The reality on the ground in Gaza is infinitely worse than you can imagine, because Hamas is far more evil than you can imagine. Islam is far more evil than you know (but suspect)

From Douglas Murray at the New York Post

Much of the world continues to condemn Israel for waging its war against Hamas.

As the casualty figures on both sides grow, Israel is facing the usual calls for a ceasefire.

A call which this country has rightly not joined in.

But as well as the Hamas supporters and antisemites who hurl accusations against Israel whatever it does, there are also well-meaning people who genuinely do not seem to understand the war that Israel is fighting.

Every time a home is destroyed in Gaza, or a civilian building is targeted much of the world seems bewildered and outraged.

In the process the worst libels against the Jewish state get repeated.

Claims that the Israelis deliberately target civilians.

Claims that Israel is committing war crimes, and more.

Take the case the other week when photos emerged of Hamas terrorists in Gaza stripped to their underwear by the IDF.

People who had no desire to speak up when Israeli women were raped suddenly seemed furious that suspected terrorists might have been stripped down to their underwear.

Of course these online, armchair warriors seem to presume that they themselves are experts in counter-terror techniques.

They seem to assume that there either are no Hamas militants in the Gaza, or that no member of Hamas would ever wear a suicide bomb under their clothes.

Which is the sort of thing that means that IDF soldiers have to get them to strip down.

But worse is when people make claims that the IDF somehow deliberately target civilians.

Even children.

Earlier this week The Post published a story about Hamas hiding explosives in toy boxes.

That is absolutely true and the tip of the iceberg.

To get a better sense of what the IDF is actually facing on the ground in Gaza I spoke this week with a man I can only identify as “Major Y.”

He is an American who went to Israel to fight in the immediate aftermath of October 7th.

He has been fighting in Gaza constantly since then in a special forces unit.

These are some of the things he told me about his experiences there.

The first thing that the outside world does not seem to know is that Hamas routinely uses civilian houses as weapon stores.

This is a complete flouting of the laws of war, including the Geneva conventions which mandate that armies must not use civilian sites for military use.

Major Y and other people on the ground I have spoken with say that they estimate about one in every two or three homes in Gaza they go into has military weaponry, including AK47s, grenades and rocket launchers.

And they routinely find entrances to Hamas’s terror tunnels inside civilian houses.

And not just anywhere, but most often in the children’s bedrooms and even under cots.

Indeed one member of the IDF I spoke with this week says that this is such a pattern that when they search a house they now go straight to the children’s bedrooms to uncover weapons caches and entrances to the tunnels.

They recently found an RPG underneath a baby’s crib.

Furthermore, Major Y says that every single mosque they go into has a Hamas weapons store.

As has every UN school that they go into. Again this violates every rule of war.

Hamas use places of worship — while pretending to be such “devout” Muslims — because they know the Israelis will not target their places of worship.

They use schools as arms dumps because they know that if Israel targets an empty school the world will go berserk.

It is a cynical tactic, that of course puts at risk the very Palestinians who Hamas pretend to be representing.

According to the Major, “every school and kindergarten we go into we find guns in the basement. In each one we found more than ten AK47s, machine guns and grenades.”

And that’s when Hamas terrorists are not there.

On the ground, amid the intense fighting in the south of Gaza, the major tells me the sort of things he has encountered.

On one occasion recently his unit spotted an old lady in a wheelchair alone on a street corner in the south of Gaza.

They approached the elderly lady “who looked like my grandmother” according to the major.

And as they approached her they were suddenly fired on by a Hamas terrorist.

He had placed himself under her wheelchair in order to fire on the Israeli soldiers.

This is the Hamas that pretends to care for Palestinians but would even use an elderly disabled Palestinian woman as a human shield.

On another occasion recently the major says that his unit was beside an UNWRA school.

The soldiers saw a 13-year old boy running with a bag near one of the schools.

He put it down and ran away.

A few minutes later it detonated, badly wounding one of the Israeli soldiers nearby.

When people ask how Israel could treat even some children as potential terrorists, this is why.

As the major said, Hamas didn’t think for a moment “about the Palestinian civilians” who were nearby when the bomb went off.

I ask about the claims that Israeli troops have to treat even people coming towards them with white flags with suspicion.

I have seen this myself in the Gaza — where the IDF ask people to step forward very slowly even when are waving white flags.

The major says that on many occasions in recent weeks he has seen Hamas use precisely these people to carry out attacks.

Recently he says “a group of old women and old men” came out of a building waving a white flag.

Then someone came out from within their ranks and started shooting at the soldiers.

Because of the civilians the Israelis did not shoot back at the terrorist.

In other words, the Israelis expressed more care for the Palestinian civilians than this Palestinian terrorist. Situations like this happen “every day” says the major.

Add to this the rockets and grenades they routinely uncover in UNWRA and other UN bags.

And the tunnel entrances and weapons stores are everywhere.

One tunnel entrance was just found in a school’s playing fields.

FromThis, then, is the Hamas way of war.

And the Israeli way of war.

One side uses civilians as human shields.

The other tries to locate terrorists.

So how strange it is that so many Americans — especially young Americans — condemn the Israelis.

It is Hamas that started this. And Hamas that is the real enemy not just of Israel but of the Palestinian people.

The Murderous Scourge of Islam Continues: the 'Palestinians' and 100+ Years Of Hatred and Murder

What does Doug at Gulfcoastcommentary think about the aftermath of the Hamas’ genocidal attack on Israel and the subsequent genocidal invasion of Gaza by the IDF? Is Israel’s genocide of that entire population justified?? Dare I even ponder this?

I’ll tell you right now, there has been one immutable constant from the Muslim Arabs in that region for 100+ years of history: implacable Jew hatred and Jew murder by Muslims in that area.

There is frankly no way to find peace with these people. There have been multiple attempts at forging a ‘Palestinian’ state and making peace deals with the so-called ‘Palestinians,’ and everytime, after negotiating in bad faith, they refuse to sign treaties at the last minute and instead launch murderous infatadas at Israel and kill as many innocent Israeli citizens as they possibly can. I’ve written extensively about this (see below).

So, it’s sad that Israel lost 1000+ citizens in a brazen terror attack. Naturally Israel fought back viciously. Certainly Hamas knew they would but the Hamas leaders have private jet(s) and live in luxury in Qatar. They knew Israel would lose their minds. So, obviously they don’t care one iota about the “palestinians” in Gaza.

With regard to Israeli Jews, it’s sad really, because as Jesus said, “do not resist the evil one.” That’s part of the passage where he said immediately thereafter: “and if someone should slap your face, then turn the other cheek.” The truth is that when you resist the “evil one” you tend to become evil yourself. Yes, Israel is succumbing to evil now in their demolition of Gaza and widespread killing. It’s what happens when a people lose their minds after confronting evil enemies for 100+ years and unending slaughter and hate (all discussed below).

I used to work in Jakarta for an oil company called Premier Oil. They had interests in gas fields in Northern Sumatra in the Aceh region. I was told that I couldn’t go there. There was a multi-decade war, violence and terror campaigns between the Aceh region and the Indonesian government. It was intractable. Apparently, the Muslim government in Jakarta wasn’t Conservative enough for these fundamentalists. The 2004 tsunami hit just offshore of Banda Aceh, on the Indian ocean side of Aceh, and sent a giant wall of water over the area around Banda Aceh. They really don’t know how many died. I think it was something like 100,000 people (all Muslims) just in that one town. 

Before and After the 2004 Tsunami in Banda Aceh

Only after that was there peace. We found out that fanatical Muslims have to entirely wiped-out and thoroughly defeated to make peace. Gaza is being wiped-out as we speak. And they were already the most defeated people on the planet (and only kept alive with international aid THAT WAS MOSTLY STOLEN by the PLO and now Hamas.)

But before we condemn Israel too much, keep in mind that over 2+ million Arabs live in Israel proper, enjoying peace, prosperity in the only truly robust economy in the region. All religious traditions, sacred sites and history of Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths all are protected and preserved by a respectful Israel.

I presume that, over time, the violent arabs eventually ended up in open-air prison camp of Gaza and locked-in by concrete walls and guards. I would imagine that the West Bank is the same.

And it’s not just Gaza. Islam is the Greatest Murder Machine in Human History. The murder continues worldwide. Just visit the site What Makes Islam Different (Thereligionofpeace.com).

Christians in the ME have been mostly killed or wiped-out; Jews are already nearly wiped-out with help from Islam. The implacable hatred and murder of Muslims continues throughout the world even today and some of their 1400 year history has been very well covered here at Gulfcoastcommentary. Refer to my Essential Gulfcoastcommentary Index for 2023 (with links to ‘22 and ‘21).

In a number of posts, some quite recent, I trace the change in that region from being part of the long-standing Ottoman caliphate, then a region in the British Rule of that region (called Palestinian Territories), then the history of people who lived in and around the area that is now called Israel, the history of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and his relationship with Adolph Hitler and who’s nephew was none other than Yassir Arafat, and finally, the never-ending Jihad of scumbag Muslims who refuse to make peace with the Jews (or anyone else):

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Fuhrer

 

On November 28, 1941, the Mufti met with Hitler, who told him the Jews were his foremost enemy. The Nazi dictator rebuffed the Mufti’s requests for a declaration in support of the Arabs, however, telling him the time was not right. The Mufti offered Hitler his “thanks for the sympathy which he had always shown for the Arab and especially Palestinian cause, and to which he had given clear expression in his public speeches....The Arabs were Germany’s natural friends because they had the same enemies as had Germany, namely....the Jews....”

From “A Century of Palestinian Rejectionism,”

There is a long history of Jew hatred and self-inflicted misery by the people in the area formerly known as Palestine. The current Palestinian movement, founded in the 1920s, has a sordid history including an alliance with Hitler and European fascism. In a recent book review of Sol Stern's book A Century of Palestinian Rejectionism in Real Clear Politics website, Siegel writes:

”The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini was the leader of the Palestinian movement from its inception in the 1920s in the wake of the British Balfour Declaration, into the 1950s, after which he was succeeded by his nephew Yasser Arafat(!)

Like Arafat and Abbas after him, time and again the mufti rejected any compromise. Driven by a sense of Islamic entitlement and Arab resentment of the West, insensible to the economic growth made possible by the relative prosperity of the Jews, the mufti urged his followers to embrace implacable hatred.”

In a recent book review of Sol Stern's book A Century of Palestinian Rejectionism in Real Clear Politics website, Siegel writes:

At the center of his account is the neglected and little known -- yet central -- figure of the Arab-Israeli conflict, Haj Amin al-Husseini. As the grand mufti of Jerusalem, he was the leader of the Palestinian movement from its inception in the 1920s in the wake of the British Balfour Declaration, into the 1950s, after which he was succeeded by his nephew Yasser Arafat......

Like Arafat and Abbas after him, time and again the mufti rejected any compromise. Driven by a sense of Islamic entitlement and Arab resentment of the West, insensible to the economic growth made possible by the relative prosperity of the Jews, the mufti urged his followers to embrace implacable hatred.

Siegel writes about the book:

In the Arab revolt of the late 1930s, Islamist crowds stormed through the streets of Jerusalem’s Jewish Quarter shouting slogans such as “Muhammad’s religion was born with the sword.” The mob killed, looted and burned. Two years of low-level war left the Jews stronger than ever and the local Arab economy in ruins, a scene that has recurred time and again. But the mufti saw hope for his cause in Hitler’s war against the allies and the Jews.

The Mufti of Jerusalem joined the Nazi's in Berlin during World War II and that by 1948, the British left the region and the state of Israel was founded, the

Arab Muslims living in that region were joined by Nazis, Polish reactionaries, Yugoslav Chetniks, and Bosnian Muslims flocked [into Palestine] for the war against the Jews to exterminate them. In the wake of the 1948 war, the West Bank now claimed by the Palestinians became part of Jordan and Egypt took Gaza. But there was no thought in Egypt or Jordan or the larger Arab-Islamic world of creating a Palestinian state.

So, the "Palestinian issue" is just a canard for a long history of hatred by Muslims and radicals who gathered in the region to fight and kill Jews before and after WWII. There is no change as of today.  Hatred rules. Compromise is an anathema.

Palestinians are bound by official agreements to negotiate directly with Israel and that they have twice in the last decade refused the very state they’re now asking for from the U.N.  In 2000 and 2008, Israel agreed to the creation of a Palestinian state with virtually all of the territory it had before the 1967 war. Unfortunately, Palestinian leaders have never been, and are not now, prepared to permanently give up the claim to all of the land first laid out by their Islamist leaders in the 1920s.

Any and ALL opportunities to make peace with Israel, have ended in failure with Palestinian intransigence. They simply can't tolerate peace!

Despite all of this evidence of the incompatibility of Muslims to co-exist with just about anybody, the entirely braindead leadership in Europe keeps inviting Muslims into Europe, despite Muslims being Europe’s traditional enemy. You see, a Muslim caliphate extended from SE Asia to previously Christian Southern Europe and Northern Africa for 100’s of years until about 1492. The Ottoman empire persisted until the end of WW I.

Recently, I’ve done some posts covering the history of the region of the Middle East in and around what is the modern Israeli state. I’m trying to highlight the intractable Islamic ‘jew hatred’ that has persisted for over 100 years in the area we now know as Israel.

It’s my contention, that, over time, the violent Muslims attackers and their sympathizers eventually were segregated into Gaza and The West Bank and eventually their violence was so bad, that Israel built concrete walls, razor wire and passport control.

We all reap the harvest of what we sow. Mature people accept that they themselves are responsible for their happiness or unhappiness. This applies to entire peoples. Palestinians are taught to always blame Jews for their problems. On any fine morning the Palestinians could have decided (especially before walls were built) to give up their hatred and work with Israeli people and benefit from the only democratic and prosperous economy in the region. Many did!! But instead, many are behind walls in a living hell or open prison, and ruled by Islamic supremacist thugs.

The "Palestinians" would starve except for International aid. That money or "welfare" allows them to cling to their flawed and ruinous beliefs and hatred.--still blaming others for their suffering.  As it turns out, this misery extends back 100 and maybe 1000 years.

You could correctly say that International Aid has PREVENTED peace in that region and has financially fed the PLO and then Hamas who have basically stolen most of that money. Yassir Arafat was estimated by Forbes of having a net worth in the billions of dollars, probably in Swiss Bank accounts. Hamas is fabulously wealthy and live in Qatar. It’s international aid that has funded terror and war. No aid means peace, big international aid money means war and genocide.

No Dana Bash, YOUR World is Upside Down. Welcome to Reality

 From a Gateway Pundit Article:

From Foxnews (about CNN):

CNN host Dana Bash marveled Friday at how former President Trump is leading against President Biden on most key issues in Michigan, most notably on the Israel-Gaza war.

Bash spoke about polling conducted in Michigan and Pennsylvania showing Trump leading in the Great Lakes State and the presumptive candidates tied in the Keystone State.

She said that if Trump wins both, Biden cannot afford to lose any other swing states, such as “Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, or Nebraska’s second congressional district, or he will not win the White House.”

The news host went on to express shock that “abortion and democracy” are “the only two issues” where Biden has an advantage in both states.

“Then you look at other issues: U.S and world affairs, economy, immigration, Israel/Gaza, Trump has an advantage and it’s actually- if you look at the Israel-Gaza question, the fact that Trump has a 20-point advantage in Michigan. I mean, the world is upside down,” she said.

Kunstler: It's Now the Sane vs. the Insane in America

From J.H.Kunstler at Clusterfuck Blog.

Can you feel it? The tension rising to the red-line? It runs clear through all of Western Civ. We are ruled by governments of fiends. But now, the sun rides higher in the sky. The sap is rising in the northern forests. The earth heaves. The buds swell and blush. Something is in the air. The animals are waking from their long winter sleep. The natives are restless.

     The two traditional political divisions, liberal and conservative died with Covid. Now there are simply the sane versus the insane. The sane have had enough of being pushed around by the insane. The insane don’t register much of what reality tries to tell them. They have a body of insane ideas to comfort and protect them from the reality’s rigors. To call that body of ideas an “ideology” is way too polite.

     That the insane call themselves “progressive,” is a signature of their insanity. Progress toward what better state of things? Toward a supremacy of fiends, sadists, degenerates, and morons seizing riches and power by every dishonest means possible outside the rule of law and common decency? It’s not even suitable to call them “communists.” They lack the necessary idealism for that. They don’t expect to put their shoulders to the wheel with their fellow man. They just want to grab your stuff and then kill you so they don’t have to hear any complaints.

     The insane do not believe any of the theoretical bullshit they want to force you to swallow. They don’t care about climate change. It’s just a cudgel they use to beat everyone over the head so they can steal your stuff. They don’t care about “democracy.” It’s just a line of bullshit to cover up their election-stealing. Do you suppose that sane people would keep using electronic vote-tabulating machines that were demonstrably connected to the Internet, and thus hackable, if they cared about election integrity? Of course not. They would arrange p.d.q. to junk them and use paper ballots, and only in person at polling places, with “absentee” exceptions only for people out of the country.

      The insane do not care about public health. Everything that is known about the Covid-19 vaccinations tells you that they are unsafe and don’t prevent infection or transmission of a flu-like illness that might not even be what it was officially labeled as. Our public health officials in the FDA, the CDC, and in other corners of the Department of health and Human Services, lie about everything they’re responsible for. This week, the CDC (under Director Mandy Cohen) released a 148-page study on myocarditis reactions to mRNA shots. Every word on every page of the document was redacted. The CDC printed countless copies of the report with 148 utterly blank pages, and then proffered them to the news media. How is that not insane?

     The insane do not care about the rule of law. The conduct of “Lawfare” is the subversion of the law by dishonest means. It is a species of racketeering. And that is why Lawfare rogues such Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, Matthew Graves, and Merrick Garland, should be charged under the federal RICO statutes for conspiring to deprive sane citizens of their rights and property in the many cases related to the 1/6/21 riot at the US Capitol.

     It is, so far, an abiding mystery of contemporary history as to how New York Attorney General Letitia James managed to get away with prosecuting a real estate case against Donald Trump that was no more than victimless business-as-usual between a borrower and his lenders. Ms. James ran for that elected office promising to “get” Mr. Trump on something, anything. That is not how the rule of law works. Under the rule of law, first you determine that there is a crime and then look for who did the crime.

     Letitia James must be insane and/or pretty stupid. The short-term gain of stealing Mr. Trump’s property under a false color-of-law and creating impediments to his election campaign, will, sooner or later, blow back at her as a matter of malicious prosecution and, plausibly, racketeering as well. (With whom did she conspire to bring this case? We shall find out.) She will eventually be disgraced publicly as her teammate Fani Willis has already been disgraced in Fulton County, Georgia. I’ll tell you something that all sane people now know but won’t talk about for fear of being crushed by the levers of Lawfare: this looks like a concerted effort by people-of-color to railroad people of non-color. If you think that is a good thing for race relations in our country, then you are insane.

     Here are a bunch of other things that are insane: Re-litigating the first amendment is insane. It means what it says, and states it plainly. The open border is insane. No credible sovereign polity would allow it. It would be opposed with force, if necessary. Turning children into transsexuals on a wholesale basis is insane, and fiendishly so. Everybody knows that it is not good for the children or for our society as a whole. But fiends got to fiend, and if you try to deprive them of being fiends then you are guilty of “hate.”

      The war in Ukraine is insane. We certainly didn’t ignite it in the service of “democracy.” Our pawn there, Mr. Zelensky, canceled the national elections last year. The war was arguably an effort by our CIA to deprive Russia of its market for natgas in Europe, and thus deprive Russia of a great deal of money, that is, of prosperity. The project failed. Russia overcame NATO’s proxy army and found other markets for its gas. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines only served to impoverish and weaken our NATO allies, who no longer have affordable gas to run their industries. The leaders of those allies were too insane to recognize that the Nord Stream op was an act-of-war against them. They were also busy destroying themselves, like the USA, with open borders. They will end up in a new medievalism, ruled by savages. You’d have to be insane to arrange that for yourself.

     What’s most obviously insane in our country is that the insane party is pretending to nominate the mentally unfit White House place-keeper, “Joe Biden,” for reelection. You would think that if this party wanted to retain power, they would run a candidate who, though insane, was not also visibly senile. But the rank and file of this party are too insane to see that this dodge is not working. They are pretending with all their might that this is okay, that the growing faction of the sane don't notice.

     Sensing the growing impatience with insanity among the voters, the insane party has reached its point of terminal desperation. What will they try next? Murder? Why not? Nothing else seemed to work. They are too far gone in their insanity to understand that winter is over. We’ve entered the season of rebirth and renewal, starting with a renewed appreciation for being sane and for that indispensable ingredient that makes liberty in a free society possible: good faith. Really, the only question left is: how rough do they intend to play to prevent the return of sanity and good faith?

Democrat Open Borders Plan to Entrench Single-Party Rule

The mass and indiscriminate immigration, engineered by The Left and Democrats, is intended to marginalize white voter totals and populate their states with impoverished, poorly educated immigrants from poor nations for unending political power. California is the model here and discussed below.

It starts with the “great replacement (of whites)” which is entirely real and is best exemplified in California. From Wikipedia, in 1960, California was 92% White persons and about 5.5% black. There was a vibrant Republican Party then too. Now, after the Democrats basically banned white European immigrants in 1965, California's population is only 41% White (non-hispanic), 14.5% Asian, 40% Hispanic/Latino and 5.5% Black. Now, there’s hardly no Republicans in California. California is already a one party State. Republicans are an endangered species there and soon everywhere else. Dems want the death of republicanism; the very philosophy of the new United States in 1789.

Oh, all the States are trending toward this demographic model. California has always been the bellwhether state for the rest.

Here’s the 2 minute video explaining the Democrat’s strategy. It’s all about permanent power. The transcript is below the YT video (link here).

The Democrat open borders plan to entrench single party rule explained in under two minutes:

1. Flood the country with Untold millions of illegals by land, sea and air from all over the world—enough to eclipse the populations of 36 individual US states so far.

2. Prioritize the needs of these millions of non-citizens over the needs of the American citizens with free flights, buses, hotels, meals, cash cards with $2000 debit cards, and phones ensuring their loyalty to the political party that imported them.

3. Keep them in the country at all costs even when they commit violent crime like murder and rape. Attack the language used to describe the criminals as opposed to the criminals themselves. Slander critics as racist.

4. Ensure their privileges are made irrevocable with city and state Sanctuary laws that act as population magnets. Codify permanent status and ensure non-cooperation with ICE.

5. Count the non-citizens in the census that will determine Congressional apportionment in the House of Representatives. As of now that would provide 13 extra congressional districts--a tremendous amount of electoral Power.

6. Wage a massive, heavily funded law-fare campaign to change State voting laws that legalize mass mail-in ballots, no signature verification and no proof of citizenship requirements making it nearly impossible to prove voter fraud.

7. Lock-in a permanent voting majority with campaign promises of lavish benefits and permanent privileges enshrining generational fealty to the Democrat Party

8. Win elections forever

9. Then entrenched single-party rule has been achieved. The best part your tax dollars are paying for it.

California Is Farthest Along the Road to Shit-hole Status

The following data from California helps explain the effect of large minority populations. Remember this is what Democrats want; dependents!! You could easily say that Democrats are in the “Poverty Business” (for permanent power of course). This is exactly how tryrants in Nicaragua, Argentina, Venezuela, the PRI party in Mexico, maintain permanent power.

• Poverty in California is the highest in the nation at 15.4% (after all government support is considered).   

• Another 10.3% of California population would be "impoverished"  or about 25% without government transfers. This is the highest in the nation.

• California also has the lowest literacy rate in the nation at ~75%, meaning ~25% of the population is illiterate. For comparison, New Hampshire has a 95% literacy rate with very few minorities.

• California has the 2nd highest tax rates when adding State and Local taxes at 13.5% after New York state at 15.9%.

• Per capita income of Hispanics is one half that of non-Hispanic whites, and household net worth is less than one tenth.

• Fifty percent of Hispanic households use some form of welfare, the highest rate of any major population group.

• Hispanics are 3.3 times more likely to be in prison than whites; they are 4.2 times more likely to be in prison for murder, and 5.8 times more likely to be in prison for felony drug crimes.

• Young Hispanics are 19 times more likely than young whites (and slightly more likely than young blacks) to be in youth gangs.

• Hispanics drop out of high school at three times the white rate and twice the black rate.

• Even third-generation Hispanics drop out of school at a higher rate than blacks and are less likely to be college graduates.

• From 1992 to 2003, Hispanic illiteracy in English rose from 35 percent to 44 percent.

• The average Hispanic 12th-grader reads and does math at the level of the average white 8th-grader.

• At 43 percent, the Hispanic illegitimacy rate is twice the white rate, and Hispanic women have abortions at 2.7 times the white rate.

• Hispanics are three times more likely than whites not to have medical insurance, and die from AIDS and tuberculosis at three times the white rate.

• In California, the cost of free medical care for illegal aliens forced 60 hospitals to close between 1993 and 2003.

• Only 33 percent of citizens of Hispanic origin consider themselves “Americans” first. The rest consider themselves either “Hispanic/Latino” or their former nationality first.

The crux of the Democrat strategy is to import black and brown people; foreign imports without much education, many don’t speak English, few have any skills to make themselves employable. The vast majority of these people will depend on government aid (happily supplied by Democrats, ‘government’ and your tax dollars (or printed money) for the rest of their lives). Any political party or movement that wants to cut ‘welfare,’ like Republicans, will be voted down by these new invaders. Voila! Permanent Democrats power!

It’s shown that, on average, illegals are low skill/low IQ immigrants are shown by FAIRUS, to never generate enough income tax revenue to become net-positive contributors to our country’s GDP. Any positive net impact is left to Asians and Whites. See my post “Illegal Immigration Cost to US Taxpayers: $133.7 BILLION Per Year and Rising.”

Leftists also love the fact that lower IQ blacks and Hispanics gravitate to the disaster of Marxism like Chavez, Castro or even Obama. It's because they can't take care of themselves or build a working society; they want a big government and/or tyrant leader to take care of them. In short they vote for hand-outs! They can't handle freedom like the self-organizing white Europeans that came to N. America. And most white people (used to) know how the big govt/tyrant path works out (or doesn't).

Also see my posts: Dem's Plan to to Assure Electoral Dominance: Make the US a 3rd World Shit-hole and my cheeky-titled Make America White Again, The Crux of Our Black Problem. And illegals from Central America, Latin America, the Middle East are a net fiscal drag on our country for all their lives: And again, Illegal Immigration Cost to US Taxpayers: $133.7 BILLION Per Year and Rising.

You see, Gulfcoastcommentary has been all over this scam for many, many years.

Archbishop Viganò: ‘The globalist cabal want to establish the kingdom of the Antichrist on earth’

 Editor’s note: The following is the full text of a message from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò for the “First Health Holocaust Remembrance Day.”

From from LifeSiteNews:

 

Dear Friends,

 I am grateful for the invitation of Professor Massimo Citro della Riva to offer my greetings to the participants in the Health Holocaust Remembrance Day. You know well that I have never been shy in offering my interventions since the beginning of the psycho-pandemic farce, and that my complaint – since May 2020 – anticipated everything that has emerged in these four years regarding the criminal management of this social-engineering experiment of neo-Malthusian origin.

What appears today in all its evidence is the subversive plan of a global coup d’état, aimed at the decimation of the world population and the enslavement of the survivors. The pressure for the approval of the WHO Pandemic Treaty and for the health passport – accompanied by the activation of the digital wallet – demonstrate that the authors of this coup have no intention of giving up their criminal intentions, and will not do so unless they are faced with firm and determined opposition from the population and those few of its representatives who are not sold out to the World Economic Forum, by those who courageously do not fail in their duties.

We have seen the false Bergoglian church [Doug here: See here, he mean that it’s a Latin brand of Marxism, Globalism, Diversity/Inclusion false religions—ie., not Catholic at all, which is….] totally subservient to the genetic treatment agenda, a treatment that was produced using aborted fetuses. We have seen doctors and paramedics killing frail and elderly people in intensive care through the use of anesthesia. We have seen rulers, magistrates, and police forces unleash an unprecedented criminalization of those who did not allow themselves to be “marked.” We know who is behind these people, who pays them, and who blackmails them: their names are well known. These murderers will soon find themselves answering for their crimes, if not before the tribunal of the world, then certainly before God, whom they hate and whom they would like to replace, in a mad delirium of omnipotence that is an inexorable prelude to their eternal defeat. The children of darkness, the conspirators of the World Economic Forum, and the globalist cabal want to establish the kingdom of the Antichrist on earth, as an obscene counterfeit of the Kingdom of Christ Our Lord.

Look at their work: only lies, deception, horror, sin, vice, violence, and monstrosity. And always for a price, because everything they do is an object of exchange, of commerce: you pay to have children, you pay to kill them, you pay to sell their organs, you pay to abuse them, you pay to impose lethal treatments, you pay to live and to die, you pay for the lies of the media and the obscenities of the internet, you pay for the simulation of love and friendship, you pay for the chimera of a digital eternity. You also pay to end up in hell, to damn your soul. While with the things of God, everything is free – it is the fruit of charity, generosity, and magnificence.

You are rightly denouncing the health holocaust: with this term you highlight on the one hand the extent of the crime committed by the servants of the WHO, and on the other the desire to “sacrifice” millions of victims to the globalist Moloch. Do not lose sight of this fundamental element: the extermination – in ways not dissimilar to those that the totalitarian regimes of the last century caused – shows us the ritual aspect of the Great Reset and reveals the culture of death embraced by those who promote it.

 The death of babies in the mother’s womb; the death of sick and elderly people in hospitals; the death of young people torn from life by drugs; the death of the family in the name of perversions and betrayals; the death of beauty, knowledge, and science. It is a death that affects not only the body, but also the soul, killing the flame of hope within it. And it is significant that those who deny the existence of an otherworldly hell seem to want to do everything to recreate it on this earth, as if to take revenge on us for the fate that inexorably awaits these psychopathic murderers.

Therefore, continue in your courageous commitment, but never lose sight of the overall picture of this epochal battle, in which the forces of good and evil are preparing for a decisive clash. It is important to understand that the psycho-pandemic farce was only one of the means of imposing this infernal plan, and that it is accompanied by other threats that follow the same script under the same direction. Demonstrate to people this overall coherence and even the most distracted will understand and rebel against what has been imposed on them through fraud and violence.

Our Lord said, “The truth will set you free.” He who said of Himself: “I am the Way, the Truth, the Life.” It is only the truth of Christ that can free us from the chains of lies and the falsity of the enemy of mankind. Therefore, fight this battle in the awareness that your and our adversary can only be defeated with the weapons of Truth. Saint Paul exhorts us, Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Act with freedom within the bounds of what is good, and the Lord will bless your commitment, as he has always done throughout history for those who love Him and obey His commandments. If you yield on this, you will expose your flank to the Enemy, and all your effort will have been in vain. And remember the words of the Lord: “Do not be afraid, I have overcome the world.”

I bless you with all my heart.

Herland: Marxist Feminism Destroyed the Family

From the Herland Report:

The breakdown of the cultural cornerstones that held us together happened by design. Serious social instability is now threatening the foundations of the United States.

In a series of articles, I examine what went wrong with the Marxist feminism that has accomplished to bring down the family in the West.

The feminism that dominated the 1960s onward was vastly different from the conservative variant at the beginning of the century.

In the early 1900 feminism, the woman was hailed for her female qualities, her chastity was a virtue, family life with the children adored. The demand was for equal rights, respecting the differences between the sexes, writes historian Hanne Nabintu Herland in her WND column.

In the 1960s, feminism took a new and arguably more man-hating form, along the lines of the Marxist, atheist ideology that was popular in this period.

Marxist feminism destroyed the family:  The level of censorship in social media and search engines is all-time high. Do like thousands of others, subscribe to The Herland Report newsletter here! Thanks so much for reading and supporting our investigative work. Follow the new trends and subscribe!  

The aim was to remove the woman from her traditional role as part of a family nucleus and destroy traditional Western values which placed strong emphasis on marriage as a sacred bond between two lovers.

A new set of atheist ideals based on promiscuity and free sex was to take its place, informing the woman that emancipation meant giving guys whatever they wanted – for free, no strings attached. This message was preached with remarkable zeal at the universities, in the media and publishing companies.

It ended up attacking the whole foundation upon which the stability of society was founded: The family.

It was in the aftermath of World War II that Marxist intellectuals, such as Theodore W. Adorno and Herbert Marcuse became the intellectual founding fathers of the radical movement – labelled neo-Marxism – that later fueled the student rebellions in the 1960s.

Their ideas became the New Left in America. This was the early days of free sex, drugs, abortion and a total revolt against traditional religion. The grace and protection of God was no longer needed, children were no longer regarded as blessings from the Almighty, but rather as “obstacles to individual success.”

The woman was to carefully consider if she even wanted to have a child. To love one another was no longer the ideal, only to love oneself.

The greatest weakness of this arguably misogynist feminist movement was the assumption that independence requires the woman to step out of the fellowship of men.

Her freedom is defined as the moment she “gets a divorce”. By disentangling her from the dependency on others – the interdependence that connects us all – freedom became her right to tend to her egoism alone. In a sick twist, the movement also attacked the biological femininity that characterizes her.

She was to dislike her own sex, being taught that she is a chronic victim of “evil male dominance”.

Everything about her was now questionable: Her childbearing ability, her role as a wife, her abilities to form future citizens as a mother; her time in the kitchen cooking, being the faithful lover to her man, her choices in the professional world.

Even female beauty was vilified, feminine women were cursed by other women as “male-dominated,” “trying to look good to please the man.” By attacking the core of womanly self-esteem, feminism taught a whole generation that the biological characteristics of their own sex was not good enough.

She had to “become a man” and take on “the man’s traditional role” in order to succeed in life. Consequently, nothing she did in the heart of the family gave her social standing, only that which was done in her professional life as a worker outside the home.

Marxist feminism fed brutally on the discontentment of Western women. “Gradually, I came to realize that something is very wrong with the way Western women are trying to live their lives,” wrote Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique.

Friedan is regarded as the founder of the now so horribly failed American feminism, writing about “the problem that has no name,” suggesting that marriage, the bond to her husband and the very essence of the traditional family was the precise problem that limited her.

Here Marxism found its best helper in the quest to demolish the traditional structure of society: The woman and her discontentment with life.

Ironically, the call for “having even more” resounded well among millions of women in the 1960s –the time in American history where women’s living standards were higher than ever, with more vocational possibilities, wealth and freedom than ever before.

The stupidities of Marxist feminism is unbelievable, yet here we are today engulfed in its consequences.

Armstrong: The Dismantling of the Nuclear Family

From Martin Armstrong:

Nations like Canada and the United States have deemed terms like “mother” or “father” offensive. Canada began demonizing the nuclear family structure in 2018, when Service Canada urged public employees to “use gender-neutral language or gender-inclusive language.” A new memo by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed that public employees may no longer use terms such as “mother” or “father,” also deeming them to be offensive. Why does the family structure threaten governments?

Nations aligned with the World Economic Forum are moving to dismantle the nuclear family. First, they want to obscure the roles of men and women, often not recognizing women at all. Canada, for example, began urging the public sector to use gender-neutral terms like “parent.” “This avoids portraying a perceived bias toward a particular sex or gender,” Service Canada claimed.

The United States followed suit by demonizing all language with an associated gender, such as “son” or “daughter.” This is why Obama commonly used the term “folks” when addressing the public, as “ladies and gentlemen” ruffles the feathers of a select few. Moreover, they are slowly dismantling our personal identities. If you ask a person to describe him or herself, they may begin by saying their age, gender, parental status, and other aspects that people use for self-concept and personal identity. But now, identifying as a mother, daughter, father, or son is somehow offensive.

The extreme side of equality equates to a collective identity. Unlike other older nations where everyone has the same religion, morals, and concept of community, the Build Back Better crowd believes everyone should conform to their model of neutrality that strips one of their individual identity.

These governments are not pandering to the tiny fragment of the population that identifies as transgender; rather, they are slowly removing our personal individual identities at the most basic levels. The pride of being a mother is no longer permitted; you are disregarded as a “birthing person” in some Orwellian dystopian mentality. Anyone can breastfeed, the world health agencies have declared. Most importantly, your child should honor thy government over thy “mother” or “father.”

The far left has been discouraging women from having children because they produce too much carbon to exist while permitting an influx of refugees. Overpopulation is not the problem. Do you think a warmongering neocon like Antony Blinken is worried about offending someone with the wrong terminology? This is outright psychological warfare targeted at Generation Alpha, who will only learn a distorted version of government-directed reality.

71 Items on America's To-Do List

Back in 2014, I posted an article called 56 Items on America’s To-Do List.  I’m noticing a lot of clicks on that post recently. However, when I look it over, I’d like to modify and improve it. So, here’s a quick edit.

For Starters:

1. Disband the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization.  

2. We need to defund UN, WHO and all the NGOs that are facilitating illegal alien invasions of EU, US and Canada

3. End the war on Americans, particularly the war on white persons and Conservatives

4. End and abandon our wars against Syria, Iran, China and Russia.  End all wars and MUCH MORE below

5. Eliminate any and all discrimination of against the (still) majority white population.

6. Eliminate any “affirmative action” hiring starting at the White House. All hiring and admissions in the nation  MUST be based on merit. There can’t be racial preferences anywhere in American life–just qualifications. Eliminate ANY discrimination including reverse discrimination.

7. Reduce troop levels around the world. Downsize all branches of the US military.

8. Cut 50% of the Fed bureaucracy. See below

9. Get money out of politics.  Go with all Federal money for national campaigns--no private contributions should be permitted. Ban lobbyist money too. Ban SuperPacs.  Just say no.  Make all contributions to national politicians illegal but budget funds at the national level for political campaigns.

10. Term limits for all members of Congress

Reform or End the Federal Reserve

1. End the dual mandate and reform the Federal Reserve now -- before the next crisis. Alternatively eliminate the Federal Reserve. If retained, their sole function should be to maintain zero inflation and be a lender of last resort only and then at penalty interest rates. There should be No additional mandate to maintain “growth.”  See Booms and Busts Due to the Federal Reserve.  Our current rules mean that general price levels NEVER fall; ONLY rise.  

2. Forbid never-ending money printing program at the Federal Reserve putting Trillions of dollars in the hands of the top 0.1% and 0.01%.  Ending the Federal Reserve would do this.

3. Outlaw ZIRP policy now (Zero interest rate policy): The shortest term interest rate must be maintained at the prevailing inflation rate with a minimum of 1% and no lower.

Energy Reforms

1. Eliminate the stupid and phony ruling that Carbon Dioxide is "harmful or a threat to human health" since it's actually required for human and plant life and not harmful like sulfur dioxide or nitrous oxides. Global warming is real but not a crisis. The EPA is out of control.  The clean air act is being highly misused.  

2. End all government programs and/or direct or tax subsidies for so-called “Green Energy.” Government must not financially support any project that is based on reducing carbon emissions. Government policy to reduce CO2 must be made illegal.  This will end the Green New Scam.

3. Begin a national campaign to encourage and further adopt Small Modular, Thorium or Latest Generation Nuclear reactors for our long-term, zero carbon energy supplies.  Affordable fossil fuels will not last forever. 

4. Eliminate Ethanol subsidies. These subsidies exist because ethanol is not cost-effective (why else would it need subsidies?)   Ethanol doesn't make economic sense compared to petroleum distillates. Stop consuming up to 40% of the corn crop for fuels! Stop the madness! 

Bank Regulation

1. Re-regulate banks and revert to a super-Glass Steagall act that separates investment banking (high risk) from traditional banking activities. Do this before the next crisis requires more bank bailouts.  Set maximum leverage for both entities at conservative levels. No off-balance sheet items. Bring back "mark to market" accounting. Put most derivatives on exchanges.

2. Make bankers responsible for any and all bank failures. Pass laws against "financial malfeasance" where, if convicted, banker and entire executive suites would be liable for jail time and salary claw-backs for serious "financial malfeasance."  If a bank requires government assistance, then the entire executive suite and board should be tried in court for financial malfeasance and face possible jail time.  That will do wonders!  You don't need Dodd Frank if you're willing to jail bad bankers.

Tax Reform Ideas

1. Lower the corporate tax to something like 10 to 15% but make it a flat tax; everyone pays 10% or something like that.  

2. Maybe all taxpayers should pay 5 or 10% minimum flat tax; both rich and poor and no exceptions.  

3. Admit that wealthy americans will have to contribute to Medicare at higher thresholds

Social Engineering

1. Eliminate Federal laws against marijuana possession.  See my blog: It's Time to Legalize Marijuana.  Legalize and tax marijuana. Take power away from Mexican cartels, Empty prisons by releasing those with simple marijuana possession charges. 

2. Create an alternate path for students who are unable to do well in ‘academic’ high school. About half of minority  students don't have the intellectual capability to graduate our current "academic" high schools----so let's create a "vocational high school" path for young people who can not graduate an "academic" high school.  It should all be voluntary. The vocational option might appeal to even more young people who are doing fine in our high schools, as currently defined. Think “shop class” on steroids. The vocational option might appeal to even more young people who are doing fine in our high schools, as currently defined.

Downsize Federal Government and Reduce Govt Spending

1. Downsize or basically eliminate the NSA.  Eliminate Homeland security. Repeal the Patriot Act.  Our government can't be trusted to prevent malfeasance, mission creep and "security" agencies running roughshod over our constitutional rights.  

2. Reform Social Security in light of Demographic shift and longer life expectancy.  In the 1930s, there were some 40 workers per S.S. beneficiary, now it's 3 workers to each beneficiary -- heading to 2 to 1.   Right now, there's nothing but red ink as far as the eye can see -- totally unsustainable.

3. Change the focus of the NSA to the monitoring of all the financial transactions, emails, and phone calls of our national politicians and bureaucrats to enforce the ban on contributions to national politicians. 

4. Downsize the EPA once the Green New Deal scam is gone.

5. Cut much of the Agriculture Dept.  Eliminate most of the current programs per Cato Institute suggestions,  Subsidies to corporate farmers has never made sense.  Devolve the food stamp and food subsidies to the States. 

6. End Electric car subsidies to wealthy people who buy $100,000 electric cars (Tesla and Fisker cars cost $100k),

7. Cut Agricultural sudsidies to corporate farms.   Stop corporate welfare!  

8. Better yet, kill the Department of Agriculture!  It really should be called the Department of Food Stamps.  Devolve food stamp money to the States.

9. Cut Defense Department spending per Cato Institute suggestions. We don't need troops in 170 countries. Military procurement has been a boondoogle for decades.  Veterans retirement benefits are very generous and expensive.

10. Downsize Commerce Department per Cato Institute suggestions. 

11. Eliminate the Department of Housing and Urban Development per Cato Institute Suggestions.

12. Cut Mortgage subsidies (tax credits) for mostly wealthy or well-off people to finance their homes and even multi-million dollar McMansions,  These tax subsidies should be limited!  

13. End the Education department.  Sending money to Washington DC for them to re-allocate it doesn't make sense.   End the entire department and dismantle all of it's programs! Cost savings: $106 billion each year.

14. Kill the Energy Department who brought you Solyndra and countless other wasteful boondoggles. End it per Cato Institute suggestions! Private enterprise is entirely capable of providing funding for energy research. Privatize the Strategic Petroleum storage program. Put defense related expenditures in the Defense budget.  Cost savings: $38 billion per year.

15. Downsize the Health and Human Services Dept. . HHS spending is over 1/4 of the total federal spending or $900 Billion per year.  It's Cut many of the programs that the Cato Institute recommends.

16. Reduce Medicare and Medicaid fraud  Fraud costs an estimated at up to 10 to 20% or up to $150 billion in fraud.  Go to the block grant to the states per the Paul Ryan budget.  There is some chance that States might root out that fraud which is exactly why no one wants to do this!

17. Repeal 1931 Bacon Davis Act and 1935 National Labor Relations Act. The extra cost of union requirements in Federal projects is huge.  Stop it!  Pass a National Right-to-Work act.  See the Cato Inst write-up on reforming Labor Markets. 

18. Substantially Dismantle the Department of Labor.  Devolve the $131 Billion Unemployment Insurance program to the states.  Eliminate job training programs, job corps, trade adjustment services per Cato Institute suggestions. 

19. Stop the rapid rise in SS Disability payments and beneficiaries:  Disability program enrollments soared after easing of rules allowing claims of "mental distress" or "mood disorders."  Tighten standards back to where they were before Obama was elected.  

20. Stop Sugar industry price support.  They are a complicated combination of import restrictions, production quotas and a kind of guaranteed prices.   The US government makes sugar prices higher than world prices and drives candy-making businesses to Canada and Mexico taking factory jobs with it! , Stop it!

21. Sell the FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. Let banks make home loans like they used to do. Get the government out of the mortgage business. Government has "taken control" of nearly the entire mortgage market, leaving banks taking "hedge fund" risks for profitability.

22. End Federal guarantees for student loans and end Sallie Mae.  Let local and regional banks make such loans at an interest rate that reflects reality and each individual situation. Get the government out of the student loan 'business'.

23. End public unions at Federal and State levels. Even FDR agreed that unions didn't belong in Government.  Pass nationwide 'right to work' law.  Scrap Bacon-Davis Act.  Total compensation for Federal workers is now some 40% higher than the private sector. End that.

24. Cut public employee costs; kill defined benefit plans for public workers and scrap Davis-Bacon and all prevailing wage laws for public workers.  (hat tip to Mike Shedlock at  Global Economic Analysis Blogsite)

25. Pass national "right to work" laws to allow individuals true freedom to join or not join unions.

26. Freeze Federal employees salaries and reduce benefits which have ballooned 45% higher than similar jobs in the private sector. Do this across the board.

27. Eliminate the mortgage interest deduction for mortgages for well-off taxpayers (at least) and eliminate the preferred capital gains treatment for house sales.

Entitlement Reform

1. Consider replacing the Medicaid system with substantial "premium support" and outright vouchers so that people shop for their own policies.  Government expenditure increases should be fixed or limited rather than open-ended.   

2. Reform Social Security in light of Demographic shift and longer life expectancy.  In the 1930s, there were some 40 workers per S.S. beneficiary, now it's 3 workers to each beneficiary -- heading to 2 to 1.   Right now, there's nothing but red ink as far as the eye can see -- totally unsustainable.

Reform Medical (or Sick-) Care in the Country

1. REALLY reform our country's health insurance marketplace to end the current cost spiral and our path to hell and improve portability.  With ObamaCare, we've doubled-down on a broken system.  Also see here on why States and Federal government spending are driving up health care costs.  

2. Reform the entitlements of Medicaid and Medicare in light of the demographic shift taking place. Now there are only 3 persons working to support 1 beneficiary--headed to 2 to 1.  It used to be 5 workers per beneficiary in the 1960s (16 to 1 at inception).  Right now, there's nothing but red ink for all entitlements as far as the eye can see -- totally unsustainable. Social Security and Medicare now show $25 Trillion and $28 Trillion of future deficits (unfunded liabilities).

3. Give the States "block grants" of money to spending on Medicaid and Medicare.  Cap the growth of these Federal entitlements to 2% or less.  Let the States spend the money and take steps to better take care of their citizens.  State money would be added onto Federal money as is seen fit by each State.  Devolve power back to the States where it belongs.    Limiting government expenditures would truly slow medical cost inflation.  Pass Tort reform in the States to reduce medical costs.

4. Encourage more supply of medical professionals including physicians assistants and internet doctors.

5. "Bust the trusts" of AMA and Big Pharma: outsource drug supply via worldwide bidding and graduate more doctors.

6. Allow pharmacists to dispense most medicine without a doctor's prescription.  Pharmacists can handle most issues and they know when they don't know enough.

7. Shift individuals to their own medical policies and away from employer coverage (making them portable) by giving them the expense deductibility rather than corporations.  

8.  Further encourage/expand medical savings plans which allow for more high-deductible policies (people paying more of their bills; questioning pricing and demanding the lowest price, more "skin in the game"),

9. Transition sick people without coverage and having pre-existing conditions to high risk pools with state and federal government support.

Corporate and Banking Reform

1. We need the "fresh air" of shareholder democracy at our corporations.  Pass rules that shareholders must approve executive pay packages including stock options, etc. Complete disclosure of pay packages must be made for shareholder vote.  Pass laws that major investors like public pension funds must be on the Boards of Directors (by law).

2. Bring back the Glass-Steagall (or similar) and repeal Dodd-Frank (it's already 5200 pages and not finished nor completely implemented) and  separation of regular banking from investment banking.  Limit leverage in both "regular" banks and "investment" banks to 12 to 14 times capital (ie.,conservative).

3. No off-balance sheet items on any earnings report from corporations (and banks)---make everything clearly stated on the balance sheet and shareholder reports (and filings with the government regulators). 

4. Put all derivatives on exchanges and have banks/investment houses mark-to-market all hedging positions at the end of each day.

A Rational Immigration Reforms for Our Country

1. Reform our immigration system by Instituting a point-based immigration system similar to Canada's immigration system.  ALL applicants could apply to various categories of immigration and be admitted through quotas and ranked objectively by a point system.  Illegal and undocumented Latinos already in the US should be required to register and should be given a one year visa (with permission to work) then given consideration only through the point-ranking system. Speaking English, education and skills should be significant sources of "points" for most categories other than "agricultural worker" or "unskilled laborer." See Bring On an Immigration Point System and Canadian Immigration System is Far Superior to the US.

2. Expand immigration from Developed areas of the world and less from 3rd World Nationalities.

3. Invite foreign graduate students, master's and doctoral candidates, to immigration interviews.

4. Expand immigration under the Point System for those proficient in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

5. Allow local law enforcement in the States to check immigration documentation during routine law enforcement. This will appropriately send a message that we are tough on illegal immigration.
