I agree completely.

Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.

Dr. Pournelle starts a discussion on Illegal Immigration.

Over at Chaos Manor, Dr. Jerry Pournelle comments and listens to the responses to his ideas on illegal immigration.   I liked this part about Trump…

To berate Mr. Trump as flip/flopping when he says he will not deport them all in his first year, or even his first term, is meaningless; he can’t do it, he knows he can’t do it, he knew he couldn’t do it when he said he wanted to (if he ever explicitly said that); and he knew his listeners knew he couldn’t do it. You knew he couldn’t do it. He said he wanted to do it, perhaps, but a political promise obviously impossible of fulfillment is not real, it is said for its emotional effects. We all know that, so let us act like adults in these matters…

It is reasonable to make strenuous efforts to regain control of the borders, and devote new efforts to that purpose.

This enough to allow a clear distinction between the candidates and parties. There is a candidate who would find all these propositions reasonable and would devote efferent to fulfilling them. There is another who doesn’t even find them worth discussing, and when they do come up rejects them.

He is frustrated that this issue has been dragging on for years without anything actually being done.  He makes a reasonable suggestion that we start by enforcing existing law by concentrating our efforts on deportation of any illegals found to be breaking the law.  Of course that used to be done, that could be done and that isn’t going to happen because the Executive at the head of the Federal Government will continue to block any efforts to do so.  In many states, executives (i.e. Governors and Mayors) in charge of certain states and cities will not cooperate or comply.   Incidentally and coincidentally they are all Democrats.

You can’t fix this by any method that treats the case of the illegal immigration as simply economic or the result of population pressure.  It is in large part a deliberate effort to create conditions in as many states as possible that will result in the creation of a permanent shift in the electorate that will make it impossible for any Conservative, anyone not on board with ‘Globalism’ to ever get elected again.  This is war by ‘other means’.

When I was a weekend boater, with a 16′ on a trailer, I had to launch and recover from the local boat ramp.  But only when the tide was high enough.  For several hours the tide was too low and the mud predominates.  You didn’t hitch up the trailer until the tide was right.  One candidate is the right candidate to act on all the fair and reasonable suggestions for fixing Illegal Immigration; he can bring the rising tide and then we can attempt to launch our ideas.  Until then, we wait.

The Tide is out now, but unlike nature for The United States and it’s citizens it is possible that that tide might not come back in.  If we elect HRC, the tide for legal change will stay out.  But what does it mean in nature if the tide doesn’t rise when it’s supposed to, but continues to flow away from shore?   The pressure builds up;  states that were Blue become Red, standards of living for the middle class continue to fall, Crime increases and spreads.   Americans lose all patience and we are armed.

Tsunami. Because we will not go quietly.

Doug: Testing their faith.

Liberal faith structure

Today, I placed my Glock 26 pistol on the table right next to my front door.   I left it’s clip beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.

While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor’s son across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite

a few cars stopped at the “stop” sign near the front of my house.

After about an hour, I checked on the gun.   It was quietly sitting there, right where I had left it. It had not moved itself outside.

It had not killed anyone.

Certainly, even with the numerous opportunities it had presented to do that.  In fact, it had not even loaded itself.   Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the media, about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.  

Either the media is wrong, or I’m in possession of the laziest gun in the world.
The United States is 3rd in murders throughout the world.

But if you take out just 5 ‘left-wing’ cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, St Louis and New Orleans –the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the ENTIRE world, for murders.

These 5 cities are controlled by Democrats.  They also have the toughest gun control laws in the USA.

It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data, right ?

Well, I’m off to check on my spoons.  I hear they’re making people fat  .

They MUST have total control of the media!

“Shut it Down!”: Reuters Orders Cameraman to Kill Positive Trump Footage

Shock example of media censorship caught on tape

The incident occurred as Jackson presented Trump with a shawl, a bible, and offered his prayers as the black audience cheered and clapped.

Perhaps aware of the devastating impact the optics of this moment would have on the media’s efforts to demonize Trump as a racist bigot, a voice is heard off-camera saying, “He’s getting a shawl!”

The cameraman then says, “I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say….I’ll take a demotion for this…. you?”

“Shut it down,” insists the director,” followed by another voice asking, “Shut this down?”

“Yes Michael, do it,” orders the director.

We then hear the word “blackout” and the camera shakes before the live feed is cut.

This is the way the so-called ‘News’ has been created and vomited into American living rooms for decades, it’s just that more people are becoming aware of it because of Donald Trump.  If they cut off his presence, you still can see his shadow.

Unanswerable question on Hillary’s fitness for office.

Judicial Watch reacts to report on Clinton email probe

 

This is the description of a person who cannot be trusted with ANY security information or system, this person cannot be the President of the United States.

Remember, Food is not included in the Gov’s cost of living.

California Just Passed A $1 Billion Tax On The Whole Country That No One Noticed

The California State Assembly recently passed a bill that received minimal recognition by the press, outside of the state, but has substantial negative consequences for basically everyone in the country.  Once signed by Jerry Brown, the bill, known as AB 1066, will make California the only state in the entire country to provide overtime wages to ag workers after 8 hours a day or 40 hours per week.  This change will add about $1BN annually to the cost of growing food in California which will ultimately be passed along to consumers.  And since eating isn’t really optional, this is effectively a $1BN tax that California has decided to levy on the entire country.  Worse yet, increasing food prices is essentially the most regressive form of “tax” possible given the disproportionate share of wages spent on food by low-income families.  And, while you may not know it, California is an agricultural powerhouse that produces roughly 1/3 of all vegetables consumed in this country and 2/3s of the fruits and nuts.

Added to the devastating cost of the Corn/Ethanol debacle, proof (as if more proof were needed) that government can destroy everything it touches.

The Founders rightly worried about the potential reach and scope of the system of government they were creating, for which they added a system of ‘Checks’ and ‘Balances’.  Some of which we have removed, many of which we ignore and in the specific case of ‘The Press’ have failed completely.

I’d better get started on that greenhouse.

End Time for Socialism

Crowds surge into the streets to demand recall of Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro

The demonstration, aimed at speeding up a recall campaign against the 53-year-old president, was also a forceful repudiation of the leftist politics that are falling out of favor across Latin America.

At its peak in 2008, the left held the presidencies of eight of the 10 most populous countries in South and Central America. But those regimes have lost popularity as steep drops in commodity prices badly damaged their economies and left less money to spend on the poor.

Candidates from the right recently won the presidencies of Argentina and Peru, and just this week, Dilma Rousseff was permanently ousted from the presidency in Brazil in an impeachment trial engineered by opponents from the right who now control the government.

But nowhere in Latin America has the rise and fall of the left been as dramatic as in Venezuela, a country that has been on the brink of collapse for the last several months.

Socialism produces epic starvation and fear, Capitalism creates massive surpluses and hope.

Why is it so hard for people in this country to remember that?   Oh! That’s right it’s the education system that is dominated by leftists…

Purge time.

Doug: History in the making

Regardless of who wins the presidential election this November, we will witness history being made.
 
If Hillary Clinton wins the U.S. presidential election, it will be the first time in history that two U.S. presidents have slept with each other!
 
If Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidential election, it will be the first time in history that a billionaire moves into public housing vacated by a black family.

 

That’s democracy!
