OK everyone, it appears that we have chosen sides. Since we have done that, I think we need a score keeper, and I have volunteered for the job. Now since history gets a little murky if you go back too far, I am only going to go back a few years or so, since this is after all nothing more than revenge, or tit for tat, or whatever you wanna’ call it. Recent data makes more sense, because it’s what we are currently dealing with. Ancient data is meaningless at this point in time. The information I have provided below helps clear the tear gas and flash/bang grenade smoke.

5 Statistics You Need To Know About Cops Killing Blacks

By  Aaron Bandler•Jul 7th, 2016   DailyWire.com•FacebookTwitterMail

The Alton Sterling and Philando Castile shootings have caused an uproar among leftists because they fuel their narrative that racist white police officers are hunting down innocent black men. But the statistics – brought to light by the superb work of Heather Mac Donald – tell a different story.

Here are five key statistics you need to know about cops killing blacks.

1. Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. The majority of these victims had a gun or “were armed or otherwise threatening the officer with potentially lethal force,” according to Mac Donald in a speech at Hillsdale College.

Some may argue that these statistics are evidence of racist treatment toward blacks, since whites consist of 62 percent of the population and blacks make up 13 percent of the population. But as Mac Donald writes in The Wall Street Journal, 2009 statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15 percent of the population in these counties.

“Such a concentration of criminal violence in minority communities means that officers will be disproportionately confronting armed and often resisting suspects in those communities, raising officers’ own risk of using lethal force,” writes MacDonald.

MacDonald also pointed out in her Hillsdale speech that blacks “commit 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crime” in New York City, even though they consist of 23 percent of the city’s population.

“The black violent crime rate would actually predict that more than 26 percent of police victims would be black,” MacDonald said. “Officer use of force will occur where the police interact most often with violent criminals, armed suspects, and those resisting arrest, and that is in black neighborhoods.”

2. More whites and Hispanics die from police homicides than blacks. According to Mac Donald, 12 percent of white and Hispanic homicide deaths were due to police officers, while only four percent of black homicide deaths were the result of police officers.

“If we’re going to have a ‘Lives Matter’ anti-police movement, it would be more appropriately named “White and Hispanic Lives Matter,’” said Mac Donald in her Hillsdale speech.

3. The Post‘s data does show that unarmed black men are more likely to die by the gun of a cop than an unarmed white man…but this does not tell the whole story. In August 2015, the ratio was seven-to-one of unarmed black men dying from police gunshots compared to unarmed white men; the ratio was six-to-one by the end of 2015. But Mac Donald points out in The Marshall Project that looking at the details of the actual incidents that occurred paints a different picture:

The “unarmed” label is literally accurate, but it frequently fails to convey highly-charged policing situations. In a number of cases, if the victim ended up being unarmed, it was certainly not for lack of trying. At least five black victims had reportedly tried to grab the officer’s gun, or had been beating the cop with his own equipment. Some were shot from an accidental discharge triggered by their own assault on the officer. And two individuals included in the Post’s “unarmed black victims” category were struck by stray bullets aimed at someone else in justified cop shootings. If the victims were not the intended targets, then racism could have played no role in their deaths.

In one of those unintended cases, an undercover cop from the New York Police Department was conducting a gun sting in Mount Vernon, just north of New York City. One of the gun traffickers jumped into the cop’s car, stuck a pistol to his head, grabbed $2,400 and fled. The officer gave chase and opened fire after the thief again pointed his gun at him. Two of the officer’s bullets accidentally hit a 61-year-old bystander, killing him. That older man happened to be black, but his race had nothing to do with his tragic death. In the other collateral damage case, Virginia Beach, Virginia, officers approached a car parked at a convenience store that had a homicide suspect in the passenger seat. The suspect opened fire, sending a bullet through an officer’s shirt. The cops returned fire, killing their assailant as well as a woman in the driver’s seat. That woman entered the Post’s database without qualification as an “unarmed black victim” of police fire.

Mac Donald examines a number of other instances, including unarmed black men in San Diego, CA and Prince George’s County, MD attempting to reach for a gun in a police officer’s holster. In the San Diego case, the unarmed black man actually “jumped the officer” and assaulted him, and the cop shot the man since he was “fearing for his life.” MacDonald also notes that there was an instance in 2015 where “three officers were killed with their own guns, which the suspects had wrestled from them.”

4. Black and Hispanic police officers are more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers. This is according to a Department of Justice report in 2015 about the Philadelphia Police Department, and is further confirmed that by a study conducted University of Pennsylvania criminologist Greg Ridgeway in 2015 that determined black cops were 3.3 times more likely to fire a gun than other cops at a crime scene.

5. Blacks are more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops. This is according to FBI data, which also found that 40 percent of cop killers are black. According to Mac Donald, the police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black than a cop killing an unarmed black person.

Despite the facts, the anti-police rhetoric of Black Lives Matter and their leftist sympathizers have resulted in what Mac Donald calls the “Ferguson Effect,” as murders have spiked by 17 percent among the 50 biggest cities in the U.S. as a result of cops being more reluctant to police neighborhoods out of fear of being labeled as racists. Additionally, there have been over twice as many cops victimized by fatal shootings in the first three months of 2016.

So, I just gave you a lot of data to look at, but if you are going to make a judgement on what is going on, and what are lies and what is truth, you can at least have a decent amount of information to help make you mind up.

Stop watching the liars on main stream media, and the Demcrat politicians. They skew the facts, to create a narrative to cause racial division. Look at the data, it’s readily available on line, and it’s from sources such as the FBI and other reputable organizations. If you want the truth, you have to seek it, otherwise your at the mercy of the liars.

This genius slammed the NYPD for driving their SUV cruiser through a crowd of rioters. ( I refuse to call them protesters ) So earlier a woman threw a Molotov cocktail at a NYPD police van with officers inside ( she was ultimately arrested and charged with attempted murder ) , several police cruisers had the windows broken out and set on fire, and protesters were assaulting officers with all sorts of items. So when the officers attempted to leave the area, the cruiser was surrounded by rioters, and the driver made the decision to keep on moving for their personal safety. ( very wise choice I would say ) So I guess AOC expected them to stop, roll down the windows and say, ” How y’all doin’ tonight’? Considering her exhibited level of intelligence, I’m sure that’ what she would have done.

Associated Article headline: ” Protests raise fears of new virus outbreaks “, Seriously? Who the hell cares. I actually heard a government official saying he was concerned that rioters weren’t social distancing. These people need to be managing mushroom farms where spreading bullshit actually accomplishes something.

Keisha Lance Bottoms, Atlanta mayor, say’s Trump’s tweets are just making things worse. Saying, “He just needs to stop talking”. Well Keisha, since when did you become the arbiter of speech? When you became the mayor of Atlanta, were you told it was your job to monitor, and mitigate the speech of the POTUS? Maybe you should start respecting the rights of others to express their opinions and keep your mouth shut. Also, maybe you should start assessing your shortfalls before engaging in the assessment of others.

The Washington Post makes the following statement: ” Aggressive police tactics add to chaos”. Well no shit Sherlock. The Minneapolis Police tried to organize a basketball tournament earlier in the day to take everyone’s mind of rioting, but when the basketballs were stolen, they just went back to being Police. Oh Well.

Then of course ‘Old weird Al” the king of race baiters over at MSNBC, the world’s most irrelevant TV News outlet, is trying to make an issue out of President Trump not speaking to George Floyd’s brother when he called the family to offer the condolences of his own and the Nation at large. That’s sort of like complaining because your Mom put the Mayonnaise on the wrong side of the bread. It reminds me of my old Cajun buddy, saying ” it don’t make no never mind”.

I saved the best for the last. The Atlantic published an article this morning titled ” America used to have leaders”. The article was centered on a speech given by Bobby Kennedy after the assassination of Martin Luther King. It was a great speech, I was a Bobby Kennedy supporter when he was running for President. However, these great leaders that the writer is lamenting over, are the very same ones that created the perpetual welfare state that devastated the black community, and resulted in the horrific state of affairs we find ourselves in today. It was called ” War on Poverty” the bill was signed by President L.B. Johnson who took over after John Kennedy was assassinated. Remember this, politicians never change, Johnson said after signing the bill that is would guarantee the black vote forever. It’s never about the people, it’s always about the party. You should never forget that, it will help you see things as they really are. By the way, buried in this paragraph was something you may not have noticed, the decade of the sixties saw the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, sitting president, Martin Luther King a civil rights icon, and Robert Kennedy, a presidential candidate. So much for great leadership. The sixties also saw massive demonstrations and riots, much worse than what we saw this past weekend. The article in the Atlantic wasn’t about great leaders in history, it was a skewed look at the past to diminish the current President. That’s the game the left plays. They think we’re stupid and uneducated morons. Good try Atlantic.

For decades now, we have allowed inner cities to fester in poverty, with substandard educational systems, and corrupt city governments. Democrats have ruled the inner cities as long as I can remember. City officials have plundered the city treasures, living like kings and queens, while the citizens live in squalor, with below grade public utilities, and horrible police departments. The Democrats just keep throwing money at it, never solving any of the abhorrent conditions. They reward black women for having babies out of wedlock, giving them more welfare every time give birth. The kids are on the streets by the age of 10 years old or sooner, with very little supervision, and no Fathers to turn to. The kids get their education on the street. There aren’t any places for young people to work, because companies refuse to do business in these notoriously high crime areas, rife with drugs.

Democrats from these areas manage to get elected to U.S. Congress or the U.S. Senate by promising they are going to make life better for these poor folks, they never do. They make the same promises again and again, and end up spending decades getting rich while their constituents continue to live in poverty. If you want living proof, look no further than Maxine Waters, or the late Eli Cummings. The same exact scenario plays out at the state levels. Blue states are notorious for poor management of state funds, and corrupt managers.

The court systems in these blue states are a joke. George Soros has managed to place several district attorneys in power that refuse to prosecute criminal offenders. So, think about this, George Floyd was arrested for passing a $20.00 counterfeit bill, and the arresting officers killed him in broad daylight in front of numerous witnesses. In San Francisco and other liberal cities, criminals are allowed to steal up to $1,000.00 in merchandise or property and go free. San Francisco just happens to be where one of George Soros’ bought and paid for D.A.’s presides.

The eight years of the Obama administration has been roundly criticized by experts for creating the most hostile race relations in recent history. Barrack Obama and Eric Holder were outwardly anti police, pro black, despite what the facts were. Ferguson, Missouri, and Michael Brown, is all you have to know about their motives. Later the same attitude prevailed with Freddie Gray in Baltimore, which also proved to be a false charge against the police dept.

For several generations we have allowed a passive attitude to prevail in our educational systems that neglect to hold youngsters responsible for bad behavior. The situations has gotten so bad in some schools that the teachers have been beaten by the students to the point of having to be hospitalized. The school districts refuse to expel students that clearly endanger teachers and other students, because they don’t want it showing up on the records, they don’t want to lose government money. If you don’t believe me, take a look at what was going on at Stoneman Douglas high school in Florida, where Nikolas Cruz shot and killed seventeen fellow students.

This great Republic is being bought and sold by crooked politicians and corrupt government officials. It’s going on right now, before our eyes, and we are allowing it to happen. Public safety is being destroyed by people with the means to buy corrupt politicians, to further their nefarious agendas. Democrat governors are willing to throw working folks under the bus, using the COVID-19 as an excuse, to extract federal funds to pay for their poor management, and destroy the economy to hurt the chances of Trump being re-elected. These people don’t give a damn about you or your families, or your future. The are self serving scumbags.

I really hate to make this next statement, but in my opinion, the political parties in this great nation are going to be the reason for it’s slow and painful death. They no longer care about our nation, they only care about themselves and how they can stay in power. They don’t really care about law and order. Have you heard a single Democrat condemn what is going on right now in cities across our nation? No, you haven’t, they are afraid of losing the black vote. They would rather see your city burned to the ground if it means they will get re-elected. This is how sick these leeches are. Gavin Newsom of California is giving welfare money to illegal aliens, when there are American citizens in dire need of help from losing their jobs due to a overly severe lock down, he has imposed over the fake virus scare. He is doing it for the party, he wants to secure votes for the Democrats, to hell with everyday American citizens.

I can’t make it more clear, that the craziness and mayhem going on right now in virtually every corner of our nation is because of leftist policies. Michael Savage always said that “liberalism is a mental disorder”. Michael was dead right. Leftist policies and ideas are contrary to the ideas and ideals this country was founded on. I’m sorry to say, but the right has been a miserable bunch of wimps, without the backbone to combat the havoc created by the left. They have a responsibility in this as well by being passive and not standing up for the American Dream.

We have a small group of strong Republicans that stand with President Trump, but we need more if we are going to right the ship. We need to take back the House and reinforce the numbers in the Senate. We have a very large stake in what happens in November. It’s time to quit being passive, and fight to preserve our great nation. Push the left back under the rock from whence they came. Remember what I am saying, the left will destroy this nation if they are not kept in check. If you don’t believe me, go turn on your TV and watch Minneapolis burning.

No human being should have to die like this. God Bless George Floyd may his soul rest in peace forever. May the cop that did this to him burn in hell. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of behavior by police officers. The role of police officers is to do everything possible to protect you from harm, even while arresting you. The police do not have license to wantonly harm someone for no good reason. Apparently this man was not resisting arrest. From the videos that I have seen, he was cuffed and was being led to the cruiser. The officer that is kneeling on Mr. Floyd’s neck clearly does not have any regard for this man’s safety, you can see it by the smug look on his face as he slowly tortures Mr. Floyd to death.

The unnamed officer just made every good police officers job a hundred time harder. This one act is a horrendous blow to promoting good will between officers and citizens. For every bad cop, there is a bad guy looking for an excuse to do harm to a police officer. Several innocent, honestly good police officers may die because of the actions of this halfwit. We can only hope that justice is carried out, and he pays the price for his unspeakable acts. I just heard moments ago he has been arrested and charged with third degree murder and manslaughter. The other officers will likely be facing charges as well.

The community has every right to be mad as hell and protest what happened. However, this is where the protesters motives become questionable. I totally get it that the black community is outraged by the killing of George Floyd, I am too. But one has to stop and look at the overall consequence of destroying the city in which you live. This will all be settled in a court of law, no matter how many buildings are burned to the ground, or how many police cars are destroyed, or how many businesses are looted, and owners put out of business. This is all going to grind it’s way through the legal system, like it or not. I get the distinct feeling that the rioters on the ground would like nothing better than to have an old fashioned lynching. You may not believe me, but your mind could not fathom what would happen to that police officer if they were to throw him to the mob. He would be ripped into a thousand pieces. All of the violence and destruction in the world, is not going to bring George Floyd back.

Sadly, in every city where major riots have occurred, it takes at least ten years for the scars of these riots to heal. Some cities have never recovered. This type of action is never a good idea. For the short term, a lot of people got some expensive free merchandise such as TV’s cameras, radios, musical instruments, but the city where they live may be permanently catapulted into poverty. All of those business they destroyed, employed local citizens and provided families with food and shelter. These kinds of actions also do immeasurable harm to how others view the black community. The blacks are seen as violent, and driven by emotions rather than reason. Corporations weigh the chances of another huge loss, and decide rebuilding is not worth it. Those jobs are then lost forever.

There is another problem the black community is having trouble reconciling. Don’t misunderstand what I am saying here, how George Floyd died should not happen to anyone, no matter what his race. This is what I am having a problem with; they are destroying a city, hurting innocent people, causing pain and suffering that can’t be measured, and the black community never utters a peep about the hundreds of black youngsters killed in Chicago, Baltimore, New York, Cincinnati, and dozens of other large cities with large black populations. Black on black violence is a much bigger problem than police violence toward blacks. I’m sorry, but I don’t understand the selective outrage. Why is it OK, for blacks to kill blacks, even children? That makes no sense to me.

This is a social tragedy. There are hundreds of thousands of good, hard working black Americans, that go to work every day and raise their families, put their kids through college, no different than anyone else. The armed services are filled with brave young black men and women that serve proudly, in the face of danger. The horrible actions of one bad police officer and several hundred street thugs, just made their lives harder. The media also has a hand in this mayhem, stirring the pot, portraying racism as a widespread problem, when it isn’t. Almost all problems are caused by people of all races not obeying the laws, and not respecting their fellow human beings. I’m not saying there aren’t raciest people, there are, and they come in all colors no matter what you’re told. However, I refuse to believe the problem is anywhere near the level that the Democrats and the main stream media say it is. I interact with people of all races, and I don’t see it. Race is the Democrats favorite boogeyman. The Democrats use racism as a wedge to keep blacks and whites separated, so they can control the black population and secure their votes. It’s that simple people. Here is a very good example of racial pandering; Ted Wheeler, white mayor of Portland, Oregon, made a statement saying he knows that the police officer kneeling on the neck of George Floyd was a raciest, and that’s why he did it. Unless Ted Wheeler is a psychic, he doesn’t know anything about anything, that statement was made to secure the black votes. There is one glaring truth that emerges from this tragedy, it proves once again how Democrats are willing to lie to exploit human suffering.

IS THIS “THEY”?

This blog is dedicated to my good friend Paul R. All of our crazy friends and of course my wife and I went on our first camp out of the season to our favorite coastal hangout. Four nights sitting around the campfire and engaging in a few adult beverages, seems to bring out the best in people. I’m not sure why they don’t implement this technique in so called “think tanks”. I’m sure that many more monumental ideas and inventions would be the result. For instance, my friend Gary started knocking his beer over after about three hours and getting dirt in the bottle, I simply took out my pocket knife and cut a chunk out of his tee shirt and put it over the top of the bottle with a rubber band. Kept the dirt out, and the could still drink it as it filtered out the dirt already in the bottle.

So, in one of our in depth conversations, my friend Paul, who reads all of my blogs, asks a very important question….He asked “who is they”? He went on to say that almost every bad thing that happens in this world is a result of what “they” did. People are always quick to say “they are responsible for this”. It just never occurred to me how utterly horrible “they are”. So, I thought in the interest of public awareness, I will attempt to list a few of the things “they” are responsible for.

1. I went to the market to buy my favorite treats I enjoyed as a youngster. The store owner said, they quit making them years ago. Well damn, they didn’t ask me.
2. It’s amazing how much power they have, I really liked Oldsmobile cars. They quit making them. Did they ask anyone first?
3. They don’t make dishwashers like they used to, even President Trump said so. Why doesn’t the President do something, so they will make them better? Seems reasonable to me.
4. They are putting stuff like cereal and chips in smaller packages and charging us more. Who said they could do that? Can’t they do something about this?
5. They say the climate is changing and they need to restrict our activities. I think they are wrong, but I can’t find a phone number or an address. I don’t know where they are.
6. A few years ago, they thought it would be a good idea to paint firetrucks yellow. Apparently it didn’t work out because they are painting them red again. They were wrong.
7. They keep raising our property taxes. Why can’t they be voted out of office?
8. If that isn’t bad enough they raise gasoline prices every summer when we are taking our vacations. They are heartless creeps.
9. You hear people say all the time, they are making it harder for us to get ahead. They must hate us.
10. They need to be brought before congress for all of the bad stuff they are causing. But, I don’t think they will do it.

So I am asking for your help, in finding out who they are. I’m tired of all grief they are causing everyone. If anybody has any clue, or inside information, let me know, and we will mount a search and destroy campaign so they can’t keep spreading misery. We have another camp out planned soon, so be on the lookout for more mind boggling revelations.

I’m going to begin with my pet peeve………….aggressive truckers. Modern semi trailer trucks are vastly different from 50 years ago, and so are the drivers. Today’s diesel tractors have huge engines with twin turbos, that produce massive amounts of power ( and speed ). Years ago, it took semi trucks literally several miles to reach highway speed, and climbing steep grades was a low speed grind. Those days are gone for the most part, today’s trucks are not that much slower than the common family sedan. Modern trucks have much better brakes than the older trucks, but it takes a lot of time and distance to bring 80,000 pounds to a halt from 70 mph which most of these rigs run.

Trucks with semi trailers take up a lot of real estate. A rig with a 53 foot trailer, is about 80 feet bumper to bumper. That’s roughly about 5 car lengths. It can get a little dicey traveling on a popular truck route such as I-5 in your 3500 pound sedan, amidst a throng of behemoths. It shouldn’t be dicey, but the truck drivers today, are not the courteous drivers of yesteryear. These guys drive like maniacs. The reason that states regulates the speed of trucks is to keep them from totally dominating the highways. However, if the State Police are not active enough, that’s exactly what happens.

Now get ready, I’m going to introduce a racial factor into this discussion. There is an ever growing number of drivers from middle eastern countries and India. Sorry to say, these drivers are simply not on the same level as American drivers. When I see a truck weaving back and forth encroaching into the lanes on both sides, it’s almost always a middle eastern looking driver on his cell phone. These guys are dangerous, and have bad driving habits. Unfortunately, they have the ability to cause major havoc with an enormous vehicle. That said, I have seen some pretty lousy American drivers too. I’ve traveled extensively around the western United States by car and have seen some really stupid truck drivers.

For about 15 years I traveled up and down I-5 between Seattle and the Canadian border. It was not uncommon to encounter Canadian trucks in a convoy, nose to tail, sometimes six to ten trucks. Do the math, this is like a train on a highway. Ten semi trucks nose to tail take up about 6/10 of a mile. You can’t enter or exit the freeway when this happens. I have missed my exit several times because I couldn’t get through the line of trucks, or you have to come to a stop and wait before you can enter the freeway. This has to be one of the most inconsiderate acts that truckers commit.

I saved the best for last. The one act that truckers commit that drives me insane is as follows; You’re cruising up a super long grade, on a two lane in one direction, with a few semi trucks. Your traveling at about 65 mph. You are approaching two semis in the right lane traveling very slow. Just as you are about 500 feet away from them, the truck in the back suddenly swings out into the fast lane. You jump on the brakes, slow down to about 30-35 mph, and it takes at least a mile or more for this guy to complete his pass. The truck that just pulled that crap, is probably only about five miles an hour faster than the truck he passed, which is going to put him at the summit about five minutes quicker. This is a very dangerous act, because it can cause a large backup very quickly, and could result in rear end collisions among the faster traveling cars, not expecting traffic to abruptly slow down. If the driver was considerate of his fellow travelers, he would have been patient and stayed in the truck lane.

Automobile drivers cause headaches for truckers as well. Drivers of more maneuverable smaller vehicles don’t consider how long it takes a big rig to stop, and often take up the space that drivers put between them and the vehicle ahead of them, by suddenly diving into that space without warning. Also, automobile drivers don’t realize how hard it is for truckers to see them, and often cause accidents because they are not thinking. If you can’t see the trucks mirrors, he can’t see you. It takes a lot of time and space to maneuver a big rig into a tight space. Car drivers need to be patient and wait. Give the truck driver time to complete his maneuver safely.

This is the bottom line. On a public highway, vehicles are usually moving at about 60-70 mph. A driver needs to stay alert at all times,.When things go wrong, a lot of stuff happens very quickly, and usually people get injured or killed. Accidents are caused by someone doing something dumb. If everyone could practice more courtesy and civility, it would be so much easier and safer to travel from point A to B. This rule also works in most everything you do. Just try and be a little kinder and a little more patient with your fellow humans. I get impatient too quickly, I’m trying to fix that. Try to make our highways friendlier and safer. Most of all, watch for cyclists, both pedal powered and gas powered. They are especially vulnerable.

There is a protocol for dealing with large scale emergencies. Human beings have been practicing these protocols forever. The first thing you have to realize is that a large portion of the population is very much like cattle, subject to stampeding in the face of danger. The primary function of good leadership is to calm people down, and make them believe everything is under control even if it isn’t. This is how you do it.

1. Establish a command center. Gather the smartest and most knowledgeable people you can find, that have been trained, and preferably, have had experience in such situations.
2. Thoroughly assess the problems you are faced with. Although time is always of the essence in emergency situations, taking time to evaluate your strategies can reap huge dividends.
3. Always evaluate your team as you go, some team members may prove to be ineffective for one reason or another. Weed out the weak team members as soon as possible, they will only impede your success.
4. Make certain all of your team members are team players, and are willing to take orders from the top. Rogue players should be eliminated the minute you recognize them as such.
5. The Supreme Commander should listen to his team, evaluate the input, and make the ultimate decisions on the actions of his group. He should be the sole spokesman, period.

President Trump established his command center very quickly. He surrounded himself with experts from the medical field. He met with them, and listened to their input, based on many years of experience. However in my opinion, the very first mistake, was attempting to be totally transparent. I’m pretty sure the reason the President was hell bent on transparency, was the beating he has taken in the main stream press for three long years. In this situation, the decisions should have been made behind closed doors. The reason I say this, is that medical people have tunnel vision, for the most part they only see one facet of the problem. The team commander must be able to see all aspects of the emergency, and be able to apply the actions with restraint, to mitigate collateral damage.

If the President had been conducting this operation behind closed doors he could have extricated Anthony Fauci from the team with minimum disruption, and minimum hoopla from the press. Anthony Fauci proved to be a huge liability in the President’s handling of this problem. The press was foaming at the mouth, hoping to be able to report on a rift between the President and Fauci. They would have pushed the narrative that the President thought he was smarter than a world renowned virologist. The cold hard facts happen to be, that Anthony Fauci was wrong over and over, and pretty much drove this whole thing over a cliff. Also, if the President had done this behind closed doors, it would have eliminated the influence of a hostile press.

To make the case against Anthony Fauci even stronger, he abandoned the time tested method of dealing with this virus, which was only quarantining the sick, and the vulnerable. Anthony Fauci instead allowed himself to be heavily influenced by the WHO and China. He also relied on very flawed data from the half wit in England, named Neil Ferguson, who has been wrong on virtually everything he has ever written. He also listened to a group in Washington State at the University of Washington, that produced the model that was wildly wrong. This man was a huge disaster, and should have been removed from the team of experts early on. However that becomes hard when you’re operating in an open arena.

If you remember in one of the early press conferences, when they were discussing shutting everything down for two weeks, President Trump said a long shut down would seriously damage the economy and said, ” the cure can’t be worse than the disease”. That was a prophetic statement, because the prescribed cure turned out to be 100 times worse than the disease. Again, I can’t emphasize this enough, when you are operating in the open, it makes it very difficult to go against your chosen experts. You absolutely have to conduct this type of business in private, there are simply too many adversaries that are eager to see you fail, and will do whatever they can to plant seeds of discord.

This has been an enormously expensive lesson on how not to respond to viral epidemic. I refuse to call it a pandemic, it wasn’t. This was a knee jerk reaction, stoked by fear, to a virus that was much less dangerous than reported. Shutting everyone inside made it worse, not better. Most of the victims that died were the old and sick, they could have been easily protected. In my opinion, China’s over the top reaction to the virus, set the stage for how the rest of the world reacted. Why China reacted in that manner will likely never be known by anyone other than China. If it was done to terrorize the rest of the world, it was a grand scale deception, and it worked.

In closing, the huge flaw, in my opinion, is that this nation is so polarized politically, our leaders are more interested in scoring political points than doing what is right for the people. The politicians are willing to sacrifice the economy of this nation, and cast millions into economic despair, destroying age old family businesses, to win a political victory. That my friend is a sure sign this nation is beginning to rot from the inside out. But what the heck, the Democrats are sure that by putting a tired old man with dementia in power with a black female V.P. it’s going to make everything OK. If that doesn’t make my case nothing will.

VERITAS VINCIT ~ LIVE FREE OR DIE

The only creatures on this planet that are totally free are wild animals and homeless folks. The rest of us have to pay, and pay, and pay. A friend of mine told me once that filing for income tax the very first time was the official installation of the ball and chain. Once you file your income tax return, you are the property of the United States Government, and your State Government. They share what you produce. You are the worker bee that provides all of those lying, cheating suckers a paycheck, and a retirement plan the likes of which you can only dream of. Your tax dollars allow these worthless creeps to live like royalty. The payback…………nothing.

Twenty five years ago, you bought your dream house. You and your spouse saved for years, and finally you had enough for a down payment. Wow, when you walked through the front door, you thought you died and went to heaven. You were beginning the think it would never happen. The twenty year mortgage was pretty scary, but the years passed quickly and that awesome day came when you made your last payment. Two years later, the worst day of your life happened, you had a stroke, and you would never work again. The county tax assessor basically says it’s not his problem, pay the property taxes or the county is going to foreclose on your property. You and your spouse are going to be homeless after all of that saving and making payments for 20 years, and nobody cares. You are up that proverbial creek without a paddle. You had life insurance, you would have been better off had you died.

Folks, this is the bottom line, you don’t really ever own anything, if you don’t continue paying property taxes and income taxes, the government will take everything you own. If you die owning an estate the government will take a portion of that, even though you paid taxes on that property for many years. The government will essentially rob your children of a large portion of their inheritance.

So, all of my life, I’ve heard the phrase “our government is by and for the people”. Well, that may have been true when Abraham Lincoln said it, but today, it’s no longer exactly true. The government has slowly and steadily wormed it’s way into your life further and further. As we inch closer to socialism it’s only going to get worse. We recently realized that our freedoms can be curtailed by an executive order from your state governor. I’ll bet you never thought in a million years that could happen. Well, I sure didn’t.

This is the take away. The only reason that Americans have remained free ( kinda ) since the creation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights were written, is simple. We have had honorable men, that honored those two wonderful documents, while holding the positions of power that we the people elected them to. The other reason, is the second amendment. The population is armed and able to resist tyranny like no other nation on earth. There is no other populace in any major nation that is allowed to keep and bear arms. That is why we must never allow the Democrats to take away that right. Democrats dream of the day when Americans are no longer armed. If that day ever comes, you can kiss what little freedom you have goodbye. It will be the end of this glorious Republic.

Once a program or bureau is created in Washington D.C. it becomes eternal. Politicians love to create more government. Over the years the United States government has become bloated, and wasteful, and filled with what Rush Limbaugh calls pigs at the trough, feeding off of your hard earned tax dollars. It is foolish to think that we can ever reverse this. You would literally have to tear it all down and start over. The best we can do is elect fiscally responsible politicians ( Democrats are automatically excluded ). However we have had some pretty heavy spenders that were Republicans, George Bush comes to mind in recent years.

The point I am making is that the bigger the government becomes, the more it relies on heavy taxation to keep it afloat. The more taxes it levies on the common man, the less disposable income the everyday person has to survive on. The state and federal taxes combined can literally enslave you, if governments are not kept in control.

I would admonish you to assess the freedom you think you have. Be concerned about it, and do everything possible to retain as much as you can. There are forces working against you every day while you are just trying to survive. These forces are in every government agency from local to federal. We have a President that is working hard on your behalf every single day, he is in your corner. Support him with vigor, make sure he gets elected again. He has set the Democrat agenda back years already, if given another four years he can do some real damage to their leftist quest to turn this nation into a socialist hell hole. SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT. 

Take back the House of Representatives and wrench the gavel from the hands of the botox queen, and her band of slackers.

Since early March, we found out to everyone’s surprise, our freedom can be snatched away from us quite easily. We woke up one morning and the state governors slammed the brakes on, and stopped the whole dang shootin’ match. The President and his advisors were talking about a two week hiatus on normal everyday life. We are now looking at three months if you’re lucky, some state governors have obviously decided that they now own their respective states and you ain’t gettin’ em back. Good ol’ Gavin, is getting close to announcing that he is now California’s new president, and will be seceding from the union. I’m sure aunt Nancy has told him that since she is in charge, she’ll make sure it’s OK. Maine’s governor wacky Janet, has her knitting needles all sharpened up to defend her newly acquired real estate. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan starts installing sandbags and gun emplacements around the state house. That bitch ain’t about to give up without a fight. Then we have good ol’ J.B. Prickster of Illinois. Yep, J.B. is not ever going to go peacefully, he is on the ultimate power trip. You can see when he talks that he is channeling Jimmy Hoffa. He’ll end up like ol’ Jimmy if he aint’ careful. But the dickhead of all dickheads, is the mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti. He has declared he is not going to open L.A. until we have a vaccine for Covid-19. These people are absolutely delirious. They simply don’t have the law on their side to make such absurd decisions. Does good ol’ Eric actually think Californian will allow him to get away with this. It ain’t gonna happen Eric.

So, if these tin horn idiot governors can rip your freedom from you that easily, which is guaranteed by the mother of all documents, the Constitution of the United States of America, I’m really concerned about how legitimate this whole thing really is. Think about it. Our freedoms were just snatched away in a heartbeat, and there was nobody backing us up. It’s pretty much looking like we’re on our own. The U.S Marines didn’t roll in and tell the the states to knock it off. The Attorney General said the Justice Dept. would be keeping an eye out for states that overstepped their authority. Has anybody heard the DOJ make any statements? I haven’t. I don’t know what I thought would happen if something like this ever occurred. There ain’t anyone to call, the ACLU has totally been taken over by the lefties, they are now as fake as CNN, and MSNBC.

So, my fellow American citizens, I think it’s quite clear we are on our own against these power hungry mini tyrants. The cavalry ain’t comin’ to save your asses. You are the cavalry. That’s why our forefathers gave us the second amendment. Utilizing the second amendment is the last resort, but it’s our ace in the hole. So I suggest that we get off our collective asses and starting getting organized for the fight. A good place to start is by texting 80123 and typing in RIGHTS. This is a grass roots freedom movement to fight against those who would abuse their power. It’s time to rise up and take back our Freedoms. Power to the people.

Lies will always be bitter in the end, no matter how sweet you made them in the beginning.

 

Geeeze, does anyone tell the truth anymore? I have never seen so many liars in my lifetime. When they get caught, they tell more lies to cover the ones they’ve already told. Lying is absolutely rampant, as well as all out cheating. If the liars were the common low lives, it would be expected. But the liars today, are found at all levels of entertainment, news organizations, and worst of all government. When you read, or hear someone make a statement, you absolutely cannot take it as the truth. You literally have to fact check everything.

The FBI, the premier law enforcement agency in the United States has been transformed into a liars den by a handful of political activists. This is the law enforcement agency that has always been upheld as being the ultimate crusaders for truth and justice. It is now nothing but a joke, it may never regain it’s once stellar reputation. Liars ruin everything, always. Also make a note that these liars are Democrats.

The Justice Department has became a joke as well. It is filled with liars and cheats. They should remove all images of Lady Justice from anything and everything connected with this agency.  They are a biased leftist group that has abandoned the rule of law and justice. Ask Roger Stone and Michael Flynn and a host of others that have been ensnared by their corruption.

News organizations traffic in lies and deception. They are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. The never ending stream of lies that is broadcast daily is astounding. I watch these people stare into the cameras and lie, and think, they must not have a conscience or inner sense of decency.

Our youngsters don’t think twice about lying to get what they want. School age children openly admit to cheating on tests, and don’t see anything wrong with it. Everybody does it. In today’s world, it’s pretty much anything goes, to get the desired results, honest or not.

Common everyday folks lie to each other with abandon. If it puts them in a better position at the moment, they don’t give lying a second thought. Employers are famous for lying to their employees and vice versa. People cheat and lie to get promotions, and salary increases. They lie on production reports, and any number of other things that make them look better. I have had several employers lie to me about future promotions just to get me to stay with the company when I was talking about quitting.

So, what is the world going to be like when lying reaches the saturation point, and truth is almost non existent? How do we operate in that atmosphere? I think, the absence of truth breeds chaos. Does law and order cease to exist? How do courts function in the absence of truth? We chastise our children for not telling the truth, yet we send them to schools that teach lies, and modify history.

Some lies tend to have very long lives, living for generations, and resurfacing to hurt innocent people. I am seeing this happen more and more frequently. Someone is excited about getting their DNA done to learn more about their family, only to find out that years ago someone told a big whopping lie about who the sperm donor was. The person that told that lie initially never dreamed that they would be exposed forty or fifty years later. Of course when that happens, the entire dynamics of the family can be upset. The damage from that single lie can literally affect dozens of people that weren’t even born when the prevaricator did their dirty work.

We have just found out in the past few days that dozens of people in the Obama administration, apparently including Barrack himself, were engaged in spinning a huge lie in order to damage an incoming President. That lie cost the American taxpayers over 40 million dollars and seriously hurt a number of innocent folks. The perpetuation of that lie lasted almost four long years, and did irreparable damage to the FBI, DOJ, and CIA.

State governors all across this country have closed down their states. Some more severely than others. Almost all, seem to have one thing in common, they are lying about why they are doing it. The numbers don’t come close to backing up their actions. They say they are doing these things based on science. The stuff they are doing isn’t even logical. It makes no sense, but they continue to B.S. the public, and nobody knows why but them. Governor Jay Inslee of Washington State, just announced today that he is starting to monitor people who they think are infected with the virus and quarantine them and their families, even taking their children away. They are enlisting the National Guard to arrest people. They have a force of over 1300 to start this operation. It is just plain scary. He is mimicking the actions of the Chinese Communists. It is time for all out resistance. Text RIGHTS 80123 to join the resistance. 

Pay very close attention, the left is starting to make their moves to take your rights and your freedoms. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO SUCCEED.  

IT’S TIME TO FEED THE DONKEY TO THE DOGS
