IT’S A MAD, MAD, CRAZY WORLD TODAY

I think, based on what has happened over the past several years, that a major portion of the free (western) world, came to the same conclusion all at one time, that history was a blatant lie, and it should be ignored.

The Muslim expansion began in 632-637 CE. following the death of the Prophet Muhammad. The Rashidun Caliphate launched a rapid military campaign against the regions dominant powers. The Byzantine (Eastern Roman) and Sassanid Persian empires.

Muslim forces conquered Syria, Mesopotamia, and Palestine. 633-637

Jerusalem surrendered to Caliph Umar Ibn al-Khattab. 637

Arab-Muslim forces invaded and took control of Christian Egypt from the Byzantine Empire.

The Crusades officially began in 1095 when Pope Urban ll proclaimed the first Crusade at the Council of Clermont. The Christians fought the Muslims until 1291, one hundred ninety-six years, concluded with the Fall of Acre to the Muslim Mamluks which eliminated the Christian strongholds in the region.

Islam has dominated the middle east now for 735 years. Except for a few locations the people have lived in horrible sub-standard conditions. As if that wasn’t enough, the Muslim populations are ruled with an iron fist, public executions are far from rare. Women are treated horribly and have zero rights to anything. It is a brutal existence. Muslims are taught to hate Christians and Jews from birth and grow up longing for the day when both are eliminated from the earth.

COMMUNISM / SOCIALISM – SECOND GREAT LIE / OPRESSION 2.0

The world’s first communist state was formed in Russia during the 1917 October Revolution. Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks took control of Russia and formed the Soviet Union in 1922.

The estimates of Russian citizens that were killed as a direct result of Lenin and Stalin’s repressive policies is unknown, but it’s estimated to be from several million to tens of millions. Deaths are attributed to direct executions, forced labor, man made famines, and civil war casualties. Famine and civil wars alone claimed the lives of seven million or more.

The so-called Chinese civil war or better known as the Communist Revolution in 1949 claimed the lives of several million people. It is estimated that 1.5 million died for the Peoples Liberation Army. Roughly five million civilians died as a direct or indirect result of combat, famine or disease.

Roughly, about 100,000 Cubans were killed during the Castro regime’s takeover of Cuba.

Before and after communists take over a country, thousands are jailed for dissent, thousands executed for treason, many die from starvation. Communist countries have a very poor track record for being able to support the populations due to the greed and oppression of the communist leaders.

Although Russia and China have managed to become world powers with large economies, the people do not have the same opportunities for personal wealth as US citizens. Speaking out against the government in Russia and China can drastically shorten your lifespan.

SO, WHY ARE YOUNG AMERICANS SUDDENLY EMBRACING ISLAM AND COMMUNISM.

The simple answer is that they have bought into the lies they have been taught at colleges and universities. Even K-12 public schools lay the groundwork in the upper grades. Public schools and higher educational institutions need to be overhauled, and anti-American teachers and professors need to be fired.

America and all other Western Nations need to expel all Muslim immigrants that subscribe to Sharia law. Mosques need to be eliminated from any and all western nations. Does anyone think it makes sense to allow a large group of people to live in your nation that are dedicated to overthrowing your government and killing any and all citizens that refuse to convert to Islam? It’s absolute craziness to allow this to happen.

Make no mistake, Islam and communism are not compatible. Islam is using the ignorant brainwashed youth to lure them into thinking so and luring them into a horrible existence. All of the young women that love to parade around half dressed wearing five pounds of makeup, and lots of tattoos are in for a big surprise.

OPEN YOUR EYES BEFORE THEY ARE PERMANTLY CLOSED BY A SWORD.

The wackos have taken over one of the dominant political parties in our Republic. That my friends, in my eyes anyway, is a bit frightening. Think about it, the party of Roosevelt, Truman, JFK, and other great American Democrats has been hijacked by American hating, Jew hating socialists, and Muslims. It’s now the time for all red blooded Americans to rise up and say “Hell No” this ain’t gonna happen. We may have to fight the second civil war, and that ain’t gonna be pretty. I have a whole bunch of friends that feel exactly like I do, that are much younger and able to fight the battle. Don’t let these dirtbags and goatfuckers get a foothold.

CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

I don’t write knee-jerk reaction style blogs. I like to take my time to analyze recent events and respond in a thoughtful manner. Looking back over the days leading up to the election, I thought it was pretty obvious that the Republicans were in trouble. I have made it no secret that I am not a registered Republican; I consider myself and independent. I do however vote Republican 100% of the time, but that doesn’t mean I’m in love with the party. You could put me more in the MAGA column. I am now and forever an America first guy. The Constitution and Old Glory take precedence, period.

I broke from the Republican party years ago when the Establishment Republicans were so lame they made me furious. You really couldn’t tell the difference between them and a Democrat. I had left the party years before this event happened, but it was the absolute epitome of their sanctimonious attitude. When Donald Trump took office in this first term, he had control of the House and Senate. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnel did everything in their power to make sure Trump was not successful. It so obvious, you couldn’t miss it. They slow walked everything so that nothing happened. Consequently, you got the old witch Pelosi back in power in his second term, and she masterminded the Russian hoax and the January 6th circus.

This time around you got Thune instead of McConnel, different people, same attitude. I’m really surprised Trump accomplished as much as he did. So, this is what I think ultimately brought the Republicans down. As much as it pains me to say this, I think Trump himself has to shoulder a lot of blame.

Donald Trump is a “larger than life” character that unquestionably likes to exert his authority. People will accept that, if he is making their lives measurably better. But when their lives are not getting better, and the cost of living is still painful, his “bull in the China shop” attitude starts getting hard to bear. I absolutely don’t fault Trump for challenging Iran. The four presidents before him kicked the can down the road and it ended up landing at Trump’s feet. He absolutely did the right thing. Is the cost of gasoline making my life hard, you bet. I filled up the tank on my Suburban today, about 24 gallons and the cost was an even $100.00. Our trip to the grocery a few days ago, food for two people as $225.00. We just sent the first payment in for our property taxes last week for $1,700.00, the first of four payments. I know Mr. Trump likes to espouse how much better off we are now that he is in charge, but I’m finding that hard to measure.

Donald Trump and Scott Bessent have been telling us that the amount of crude moving through the Strait of Hormuz is at an all-time high. The US pretty much seized the oil in Venezuela, and the US is producing oil at an all-time high. So, I get the feeling that we are being gaslighted. If all of this good stuff is happening, why isn’t the price of gas $2.50 per gallon? Why is food so danged high? These are the questions regular folks want answered, while they watch their savings dwindle and their credit cards fill up. This is what loses elections folks.

Now, I would like to establish the fact that I’m not an idiot. Close maybe. But Biden did a number on the economy that was unprecedented. You don’t clean that mess up quickly. But Trump claimed he was going to, and people ran out of patience. Understand two things; Americans have very poor memories, and they want instant gratification. You can’t have instant gratification when the prior administration took this country very close to a depression.

Another factor that may not be as important as others was Trump’s application of Tariffs to level the playing field with countries that have been ripping us off for years. The average American didn’t feel the pain of our country getting ripped off, but they damn sure felt the pain, when goods started costing a lot more, that used to be cheap.

THE INCREASING NUMBER OF THIRD WORLDERS IN OUR MIDST AINT’ HELPING

Back when people cared about our wonderful home known as the good ol’ USofA, the flow if legal immigrants was metered to around two million a year. That is a good number, because about 3.07 million Americans die each year from natural causes and non communicable diseases. About 3.6 million babies are born each year. Also, for the most part those two million legal immigrants are people that are educated, and are coming to this country to work, start businesses and make our country better. A far cry from the unmitigated immigration of illegals we saw during the Obama and Biden years.

The Democrats have openly admitted that the unbridled flow of illegal immigrants was done to shore up their voting base. They made sure the illegals could vote through some very shady moves like “motor voter”, registering voters when they received drivers’ licenses, and other underhanded methods. If Donald Trump didn’t do anything else, he shined a light on how corrupt the Democrat party is. (and how lame the Republicans are)

ALL IS NOT LOST, THERE IS HOPE

The Democrats are corrupt as hell, and they will cheat their own mothers in order to gain power. But they can’t seem to manage the power once they get it. They will be so filled with the need for revenge that they will immediately attack anyone with an R behind their name, and especially their most favorite target, Donald Trump. They will waste their capitol with investigations, endless hearings, and accusations, they will accomplish nothing for the people that elected them. By the end of the next two years people will be so sick of them they will vote them out. I’ve seen it happen again and again. So, set back, watch the show, absolutely nothing will get done in D.C. for the next two years unless it’s an executive order. That’s not a bad thing.

God bless all of you, God bless the USA. Our great country is strong, resilient, and the people are great. We will survive this, and we will likely be better for it. Keep the faith.

CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

The world has certainly changed since a few years ago, and I have to say I told you so. I have no idea which blog or when I wrote it, but I said that China and Islam were going to be competing for world dominance. Of course, it goes without saying, that the USA is obviously going to be one of the contenders as well. However, we have a small problem in the US, it’s called the Democrat Socialist Party. (I can’t believe I am actually writing those words.) I think it’s fair to say that China is an enemy, at war with the US in a quiet sort of way. No explosions or big naval battles, but a lot of espionage and trade wars. China is always trying to influence our people and elections, taking advantage of our free press privileges. But we also have the other enemy among us called the Democrat Socialist Party.

For want of a better word to describe what is happening, there is an interesting phenomenon happening right now in regard to Islam. First, let’s establish the fact that Islam is not a religion as Christians and Jews view religion. Christians and Jews attend churches or synagogues on certain days of the week and certain religious holidays. Muslims view Islam as a complete way of life, that dictates everything they do. In Arabic it is known as “Deen”.

What is very important to note here is that in the Western world, people value their individualism, generally speaking religion is a personal thing. Their cohesion for the most part lies in their nationality. However, as you have seen in the US over the past 50 years, the Democrats have worked hard to diminish patriotism realizing that a divided population is easy to manipulate. England was once extremely patriotic, that is no longer the case. I think you can see the point I am making; weakness is slowly creeping into the Western populace.

This is why Islam continues to thrive, 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. They are totally united (kinda) There are different Muslim sects if you will that hate each other. So even though they subscribe to Islam, they interpret it differently. Some more radical than others. But when push comes to shove, a Muslim will always view Christians and Jews as the enemy that must be eradicated. The undisputed goal of Islam is for the entire world to be 100% Muslim.

Without going into a world history dissertation, every war where one group decided to overtake another group, or a nation invaded another nation, it involved, the latest weaponry of the time, armies and navies, and a lot of death and destruction. The defending group or nation fought to the bitter end to protect their borders and sovereignty. Knowing if they were unsuccessful at defending their borders, their culture and history would be lost forever. History is written by the conquerors.

The phenomenon I mentioned above, is that Islam is successfully taking over Europe without a single ship, tank, drone, missile, or cannon. But make no mistake, if not stopped, the bloodshed will happen, but only after Europe has capitulated. The reason this happened is because it was allowed to happen by the European governments. Why they allowed the unmitigated flow of illegal immigrants into their country is, in my opinion, the same reason it happened here. The left reasoned that by allowing hordes of illegal immigrants into the country, it would create a tipping point, forcing Americans to accept socialism/communism as a way to resolve the strain on society. It would also be the death knell for the middle class which is a major hurdle in establishing socialism.

Here is the major differences between the immigrants from central and south America and Muslims. Central and south Americans for the most part are workers predominately Christian , with some seriously dangerous criminals thrown in the mix. Muslims on the other hand only have one thought in mind, and that is to take over the country they have immigrated to. They have no intention of assimilating, and every intention of dominating. I sincerely believe that when the European governments allowed them to overrun the borders, offering little or no resistance, to the immigrants it was a green flag to begin the takeover. Especially when the governments gave them room, board, and financial assistance. What would you think in their place?

The miscalculation the left is making concerning Islam is that the left thinks they can co-exist with Islam as Marxist/Communists. Islam is a self-contained package, a Theocracy that forms its own government, with Sharia law at its core. Islam is not compatible with anyone or any other ideology. They are both looking at each other as useful idiots.

I think it’s obvious why Obama brought in the Somalians in the dead of the night by plane and bus, we know how he feels about the United States, he told us in his book that when the chips are down, he would choose Islam. But George W. Bush brought in the first-round years before. I always assumed Bush was a Christian, was I wrong? I voted for both Bushes, but as years went by, I felt bad about that. Why would a Christian president import Islam into a Christian nation? Almost anyone with a marginal education knows the history of Islam and how it took over the Christian nations in the middle east murdering Christians by the thousands. The Crusades were formed to stop the expansion of Islam and its murderous adventures. Now, the nation that spawned the Crusades has handed its land and history to the murderous hordes.

As Christian and Jewish Americans we must never allow Islam to gain a foothold in this nation. We must not allow them to take government seats, to serve in our house of laws. We must eradicate Islam or forever hold it impotent, not allowing it to hold any form of influence in our American affairs. For thousands of years, Islam has shown the world its intentions, why would anyone think it has changed?

Dear readers, you know how to vote. You are aware of the consequences we face if the Democrats hold power again. Like Islam, they have shown us their intentions, you have seen the violence they are capable of. You have watched cities torched, public property destroyed, and people killed by murderous thugs. Please don’t allow that to happen.

God Bless America and the Western Culture. This I will defend, even as I have grown old. I will not allow my country to be taken over by Communists, Marxists, or Islam. This is my home, I will defend it to death.

Look at these three cemeteries and tell my you’re not mad as hell that the French government has literally urinated on the graves of these brave Americans that gave their lives to liberate them from German tyranny. Not once, but twice Americans gave their lives to keep France from falling to Germany.

France and England are actually collaborating to flood their nations with illegal Muslim immigrants, displacing their own natural born citizens in numerous ways. Giving them free housing, medical benefits, and monetary aid. Thousands of British citizens died during the bombing raids in WW2 fending off Germany, and British soldiers died on the beaches of Normandy saving France.

This act of allowing millions of illegals to literally invade their countries and take them over is beyond my wildest imagination. Why on earth would they do this? It defies all known logic. It literally makes no sense whatsoever. They are handing over their countries to people that are totally antithetical to Western Culture and Christianity.

Since this act defies all human logic, let’s ask AI why this is happening.

The question I am going to ask is about an act that defies human logic. Why is England and France allowing Muslims to flood their countries when the Islamic religion is totally antithetical to Western Culture and Christianity?

Copilot said:

The premise of your question contains two assumptions that many people would dispute:

That Muslims are “flooding” England and France.
That Islam is “totally antithetical” to Western culture and Christianity.

A more neutral way to ask it might be: Why do the UK and France continue to admit large numbers of immigrants, including many from Muslim-majority countries, despite concerns about cultural integration?

The answer is that governments generally make immigration decisions based on a combination of factors:

Economic needs: Many policymakers argue that immigration helps fill labor shortages, support economic growth, and offset aging populations. Studies and policy discussions in both the UK and France frequently cite workforce and demographic pressures as reasons for maintaining immigration.lemonde+1
Humanitarian obligations: Both countries are signatories to international agreements concerning refugees and asylum seekers.
Family reunification: A significant share of immigration comes from people joining relatives already living in the country.
Political values: Liberal democracies generally place importance on freedom of religion and equal treatment under the law, meaning immigration policy is usually not based solely on a person’s religion.

At the same time, concerns like the ones you’re raising are not fringe views. Many citizens in both Britain and France worry about:

Integration into the broader society.
Crime and security issues.
Pressure on housing, schools, and public services.
Preservation of national identity and cultural traditions.

These concerns have become major political issues and have influenced elections and immigration policy debates in both countries.ox+1

As for whether Islam is compatible with Western culture, that’s heavily debated. Some critics point to conflicts over issues such as secularism, freedom of expression, women’s rights, and religious law. Others note that millions of Muslims live in Western countries, participate in democratic institutions, and see no contradiction between their faith and Western civic values.

So the core reason isn’t that governments necessarily believe there are no cultural tensions. Rather, they are balancing multiple goals: economic needs, humanitarian commitments, legal obligations, political values, and public concerns about integration. Different people weigh those factors very differently, which is why immigration remains one of the most contentious issues in Europe.

So, I think you can see why this is happening from the response by AI. I think artificial intelligence is totally reflective of a liberal frame of mind. Mass immigration of people that do not share your values, or your cultural history is a very bad idea, and will result in one of two ways. The country will totally be consumed, and its cultural identity will be severely damaged or completely lost, or the native citizens will rise up and a civil war will ensue. Either one of those scenarios is highly undesirable.

In my opinion, the events in France and England have reached the level that any sane person would say is unacceptable and needs to be reversed or at least halted immediately until a workable solution is reached. But unfortunately, the leadership of both of these nations are weak, and will not take the steps necessary to resolve the matter. So, it will continue to fester, and the citizens of France and England will suffer immensely as a result of weak, woke leaders.

I was born in 1941, the year World War two started. As a result, I am 1,000 % a patriotic American and Christian Conservative. I am infuriated when I see the news videos of what these morons have done to France and England. Granted the French have never been what I would consider valiant warriors, at least in modern times, so it’s far less surprising than what is happening in England. The English people have always been willing to put up a good fight to the bitter end. (at least the common man, Royalty excluded).

I am watching this unfold, not believing what I am seeing, wondering what the end result will be. Will Trump step in and tell them to fix it or else? Will these governments finally come to their senses and call out their militaries to retore peace? Will there be civil wars? What ever happens, it’s a damn good example for the Americans to learn from.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Maybe you know all of this, but if you don’t maybe it will keep you from getting scammed and financially injured. I learned a lot from watching this, maybe you will too.

CENTER – RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON TODAY’S NEWS EVENTS AND POLITICAL HAPPENINGS.

The past eight days have been extremely intense. My office asked me to do a cost estimate for the steel in an eight-story assisted living center. Turns out that it is the largest estimate of my over 50 year career as a steel construction estimator. It was the perfect time for me to do this as the weather has been scorching hot and the air was filled with smoke from several forest fires. So, hunkering down in my air-conditioned office was a welcome assignment.

After spending all day on my computer and searching through construction plans the last thing I wanted to do was write. However, during this past ten days, some interesting news happened. So, I’m going to comment on some of them anyway even though they are a bit moldy.

HOW IN THE WORLD DID WE GET HERE???

I have embedded an episode from an old TV series from the 1950’s called “I led three lives”. It’s a story about an FBI agent that infiltrated the communist party in the US and became one of the top dogs. They were 30 minute episodes, and as a kid that hated “commies” I think I watched every single one of them. The series ran from 1953 to 1956. I was twelve years old when it first aired. I didn’t really think about it until today in 2026 how anti-communist I was at such an early age. As you can imagine, 73 years later my feelings are even stronger. I wouldn’t expect you to watch all of the old grainy kinescope recording, but I inserted it to heighten your awareness of how anti-communist the attitude was in that era. You may want to do your own research into this true story of espionage.

Obviously, the presence socialist / communists in our nation has existed for a very long time. There are stories about socialist communities springing up and then disappearing for decades. One of the most interesting ones happened in the Mojave desert in California.

“Sidetrack Adventures” just happens to be one of my favorite “adventure/travel” shows on YouTube. Steve is an excellent host and teacher of history. Take a look at his productions, I think you will enjoy them.

This particular experiment ultimately failed as all of them do. These communities are based on the idea that everyone works and produces and shares the fruits of their labors equally. Anyone that has been exposed to human beings for more than a few months know that they have an inherently nasty trait called greed. Even worse when that greed is coupled with laziness things start going south really fast. Even human beings tied together through blood lines don’t get along that well and famously kill each other quite often.

There is also another factor that doesn’t bode well. It’s called self-elected leaders. One of these characters always seems to rise to the top, and claim to be the “leader of the pack”. He is usually the lazy greedy one that wants the wealth without doing the hard labor. As these experiment age, widespread contempt grows, and the whole project is doomed.

Human beings have always gathered and formed communities. It is a natural thing to do for the mutual benefit of all. Protection from enemies, assistance from your neighbors if needed, and comfort knowing someone has your back. But and this is key, people also need to feel like individuals, have personal privacy, and earn their wages on their own, and build their own personal wealth. Property ownership is a major factor in human happiness. Communism isn’t going to provide all of those needs. In fact, communism kills incentives to grow and prosper. Why work harder, when the state takes the fruits of your labor and gives them away to others not willing to do the hard work.

The frustrating fact is that the Democrats have always leaned toward communism. Just the seemingly innocent act of handing out “participation trophies” and having a “no winners” policy in children’s athletics is really an intentional act of sowing the seeds of communism. There is nothing more constructive than the feeling that you dominated you opponent because you trained harder and worked harder. Likewise, there is nothing more constructive in being the loser, and wanting to win, and knowing it’s only going to happen if you work and train harder. Both circumstances produce better people.

We have unfortunately gotten to the point where we actually have avowed Marxists, Socialists, and Communists running for and holding political offices because of weak politicians and lawmakers, that don’t have the stomach for protecting our national values. We had strong leaders and patriots in the 1950’s that would have never allowed Zohran Mamdani to hold the mayoral office in NYC. They would have ridden Tim Walz out of town on a rail. do you think in your wildest imagination a Muslim would have remotely considered running for President? Guess what, one sneaked in right in front of your eyes. You may have even been so enamored that you voted for him. Barack Hussien Obama isn’t a name with commonly associated with Anglo heritage.

People, I think anyone can see, how this is getting out of hand and needs to be dealt with decisively if this Republic is going to survive. Islam and the West will never be compatible, Islam wants to bring down the US and will work to that end with great effort. The Patriots need to work with superior effort to rid the US of Islam and the threat of Sheria law getting even the smallest foothold on this precious soil. Britain, France and Germany have already lost that battle, don’t let the USA be next.

STAND STRONG, HONOR OUR FOREFATHERS AND OUR HERITAGE BY RIDDING OUR COUNTRY OF THE INVADERS.

CURRENT NEWS EVENTS AS VIEWED BY A CENTER RIGHT CONSERVATIVE PATRIOT

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I am working on a very large project that is due next Tuesday, so I couldn’t stop and watch the little rat appear before congress today. He literally reminds me of a rodent every time I see his sorry ass. Of course I am talking about the Democrats favorite man of science, Antony Fauci. He makes the term “dirt bag” sound a bit more endearing. In my opinion, you can’t get much lower than Antony Fauci.

My little brother died of Covid, leaving this world way too soon. They took him to the Columbia University Hospital, shoved a breathing tube down his throat and he was dead in less than three days. I don’t know for sure if they were even giving him any therapeutic medication, I think they just simply put him on a respirator and called it good.

Of course, when I see the little rat, I’m looking at my brother’s murderer. He and his slimeball associates are wholly responsible for unleashing the deadly virus on the world. As I saw some clips of his testimony today, if you can call it that, he still has that sanctimonious smirk on his face, knowing he is responsible for millions of human beings dying around the world, and he will likely never spend a single day of punishment for what he did. What kind of evil is that, how can a man carry that knowledge and not be consumed by his own conscience. The man must be totally soulless. In my opinion you can’t get much closer to Satan himself.

But, there is another facet to this story I want all of you to remember as you are given the opportunity to choose future leaders. He wasn’t in this alone. This is a very big story about the largest election fraud scheme the world has probably ever seen. The Democrat party was in this up to their necks with Fauci. He was their vessel to make it all happen, and he was more than willing to participate. I have written about this extensively, the magnitude of this conspiracy may never be known. It went from the city and state levels all the way to the top government offices. Bottom line here folks; when you have a political party that is willing to kill millions of people to win an election, that is evil on an unprecedented level. If you don’t think that’s possible, you haven’t looked at it close enough.

THE IRAN SITUATION GETS MORE UNCERTAIN AS WEEKS TURN INTO MONTHS

Sir Winston Churchill is one of my favorite historical figures. He was truly a visionary and saw the world through the Lense of reality. He was unafraid when it came to calling a spade and spade. A few examples below;

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

Sir Winston Churchill – from his writings titled “The River War”.

Islam creates cultures that are inherently violent with no respect for human rights whatsoever, especially women. Because they don’t allow any form of dissent or detractors (automatic execution) it forms a monolithic mental state which becomes extremely difficult to overcome. To overcome such a society, virtually everyone needs to be eradicated. It’s how you rid your home of insects. If a few are left behind, they reproduce and quickly become a threat once again. This is the secret to their power and longevity. I don’t believe it is possible to capture a Muslim nation and occupy it like we did in Japan and Germany after WW2. The percentage of true Muslims that could possibly be converted to Western ideology has to be extremely small.

This is precisely why we continue to destroy Iranian cities and military bases and they stand in defiance. They will never surrender until the last IRGC member is laid to rest. I praise President Trump for showing unmitigated strength in his quest to rid the world of a very dangerous nuclear threat. Why would anyone allow a band of maniacal religious zealots to be in possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Yet, every American president for the last 40 odd years has chosen to ignore the threat. I think you can safely say none of them had the foresight of Winston Churchill.

The United States should have assisted the Iranian people during the first uprising, the Mullahs were nowhere near as powerful at that point in time and all of this could have been avoided. Why do we keep electing week kneed people that make foreign policy.

We can only hope and pray for victory in this quest to keep nuclear weapons from the hands of maniacs. God Bless America and our President.

CENTER-RIGHT NEWS COMMENTARY, FROM A “DYED IN THE WOOL” PATRIOT

What a great time to be alive, to celebrate the 250th anniversary our glorious nation. What is even more awesome is that we have a president in office that loves America and is doing everything humanly possible to make it one hell of a party. I can’t even imagine what it would have been like if Kamala was in charge. Everyone in her circle hates the USA and over half of its citizens. Did we dodge the bullet or what?

The Democrats have totally lost their marbles. Last week two middle aged white women with blue and purple hair were standing at the edge of the reflecting pool cheering for the algae to win. You would think anyone in their right mind would have seen their own reflection and said to themselves, “what the hell am I doing”? I look like some kind of nut. Nope, not a shred of self-reflection exists in this strange entourage.

Then, if that wasn’t strange enough, a former Olympian, wierdo looking guy, was caught vandalizing the reflecting pool liner. He obviously denied it, in spite of being seen by several eyewitnesses. This is not his first rodeo, he was arrested a few years ago for vandalism in a National Park. You’ve probably heard of David Hearn he is a well known Democrat activist trouble maker. You would think at 67 years old he could find a better use of his time. He is obviously in a state of arrested development.

THE FRUIT IS GETTING RIPE

The Democrats have been working hard for years cultivating and growing a large crop of young Communists, and our own public education system has been the fertile ground, where they planted the seeds. Add to that, a large number of third world immigrants (mostly illegal) that have a deep-seated hatred for Jews and Whites, and “Houston, we have a problem”.

Another factor is our own home-grown bigots and haters, being groomed by their own culture. The Blacks are openly raciest and have no problem expressing their dire hatred for white folk. This whole issue was exacerbated by one Barack Hussien Obama and his severely narcissistic wife. Throw in several race baiters over the past few years that got rich from fomenting hatred. I don’t have to name them, you know who they are.

I don’t think I’m being over dramatic when I say this group of people that want to take down this country is nothing more than a social cancer that has metastasized and desperately needs to be dealt with in one way or another. Why do you think they want to “hog tie” the police? Think about it for 3.2 seconds, it will come to you. This is a very well thought out plan, with no particular deadline, whatever it takes, they will see it through.

The burning question; are there enough traditional Democrats remaining, that are willing to take on the fight to save their party from the Democrat Socialists. Watching James Carville ranting and raving lately, makes it seem unlikely. I really don’t know that much about the core of the Democrat party and its leaders to make any kind of judgement at the moment. But, on the surface, it ain’t looking real peachy.

CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM

America has weathered a lot of storms in its 250 years. The strength and resolve of the American people have always righted the ship. There have been all sorts of trials. Of course, the big one, was the Civil War when Americans were fighting and killing each other in very large amounts. You would automatically assume that would be a wound that would never heal, but it did. We have had traitors, and home-grown terrorist such as Timothy McViegh that blew up the Oklahoma Courthouse. The list is long stretching back to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

So, we have a pretty good track record of being able to overcome these seemingly dire circumstances. We have weathered the human factor and some pretty horrible natural disasters. I’m going out on a limb here, and betting on the American Spirit to bring this country back on the right track. We have a great leader, we have a “shot in the arm” celebrating our 250th Birthday which is sure to incite a new flood of patriotism. I am cautiously optimistic at the moment, but I have faith in the American citizens that they will come through as they have in the past.

God bless each and every one of you. Stay safe, stay vigilant, stay free. May God guide the hands and mind of Donald Trump and his associates.

RIGHT MINDED COMMENTARY

I finally found my way back to my keyboard. I have spent the past several weeks working on my landscaping after 21 years of mediocre maintenance. I told my wife brace yourself, this is gonna cost some serious money to resuscitate the front and rear gardens. We still aren’t finished, we now have to visit Lowes and spend some more hard earned cash on flowers and shrubs to replace the ones we ripped out. But we are getting lots of compliments for our efforts. However, none of those folks are offering to chip in and help with the expense. Enough with the whining, let’s get on with the article.

TAXES, TAXES, TAXES

This topic has so many facets, I’m not sure I can cover everything I am feeling about this topic. Which is mostly anger, mixed with utter disappointment, and curiosity as to why Donald Trump and his band of merrymen are the only ones seriously talking about tax reform. Every state on the west coast where I have spent the bulk of my life on this planet, are literally tax addicts. The state governments of the three west coast states are taxing folks into the poor house. People are squealing like trapped pigs and they don’t care.

The State of Orgon puts a tax measure on the ballot and the crazy ass Oregon Democrats vote for it. I have lived here 21 years and have never seen a tax measure fail to pass. I literally want to pull my hair out every single time. On the other hand, we have mail in ballots, so one can’t be too sure that it’s on the up and up.

So, why does the federal government and state and city governments need so much of our money? My house is about 2,300 sq. ft on a small city lot, and Marion county thinks I need to pay $6,000.00 per year for the privilege of owning my house. So, basically the county is charging me rent to live in my own house. The city where I live has a population of about 200,000 souls. Roughly about 52,000 single family homes. Just for property taxes alone that’s somewhere around 26 million dollars per year. That’s just for residential dwellings, not counting commercial businesses. The school district operates on a yearly budget of over one billion dollars a year, and can barely produce a literate graduate. The schools never stop begging for money and can’t show any improvement in the education of the students.

Our state roads and highways are better than a number of states I have driven across, but they could be one hell of a lot better. The state is always coming up with more creative ways to pick our pockets for the highway systems. I have heard a lot of chatter in recent years about toll roads. Give me a break, toll roads? Cut out some of the freebies and welfare to able bodied adults and fix the dang roads. We have a fleet of school busses that is massive. Why the hell can’t kids walk to school anymore? Half the kids at the bus stops are fat little rascals, it would be good for ’em. The cost of operating our school bus fleet must be close the defense budget for the feds.

TAX FRAUD

Stop and ask yourself why tax fraud is so rampant. It’s really quite simple. Anytime the government makes a huge amount of money available for any project, the fraudsters come out of every crack and crevice like cock roaches. They know from experience that the government just can’t wait to give that money away, because it makes them the flavor of the month, and it ain’t their money. The realization that the fraud is in the tens of billions of dollars should cause everyone to immediately surmise that we are being seriously overtaxed. You wanna know how I know this? Because the fraud was discovered because it was becoming so blatantly apparent, not because the government was running out of money. Medicare and Medicaid are not going broke due to normal everyday healthcare; they are being gutted by fraudsters. Are you worried your sick family member won’t be able to get hospice care in their final days? You should be, the money is going to build Nigerian mansions, inhabited by rich Somalians.

Local state politicians make it easy for the fraudsters (often illegal aliens) or green card holders to bilk the system, and in turn the fraudsters kick back a portion of that money to the Democrat politician, and it ends up in the coffers of the DNC. This system does not remain static, it grows like a malignant cancer. It’s just another iteration of the NGO’s. The federal government officials are actively involved in robbing the taxpayers. That makes me sick to my stomach that the feds can take everything I own for tax evasion, while they literally wasted the money I gave them in good faith. So, tell me again just how free we are. The freedom thing may be a little overstated.

Gotta run, getting a bit late for the old man. Stay strong my fellow Americans. Stay alert and fight to keep America a Christian Nation. One nation under GOD. Islam does not belong in our country now or ever.

RIGHT MINDED COMMENTARY

You could make this stuff up, but it’s looked upon as raciest jokes meant to demean the Muslim culture. Just before I started this article, I was looking at my phone for some additional information and noticed an insane report. A nineteen-year-old Afghan teen was arrested in France for raping goats. The farm owners found a number of animals with their legs bound and bleeding from genital injuries. Surveillance cameras actually captured the perp in the act. The report said the DNA samples taken from the goats matched the male in custody. I’m not going to pursue this any further, but I think it does confirm the popular belief held by many concerning the sexual habits of middle eastern men.

PURE GENIUS WAR STRATEGY

As I watched the Iran war unfold I was mesmerized by the sheer force of the United States military, and the precision of the operations. Of course, we have to include the raids almost a year before, named “Midnight Hammer” when they took out Iran’s nuke sites. That was just a preview of what was coming next and Iran was totally taken by surprise by operation “Epic Fury”. When you analyze what took place and understand the pure genius involved, you have to look at all of the pieces, and I don’t think anyone ever thought they were connected. When I was watching “Epic Fury” come to a close, and seeing what was unfolding, it became totally clear what had just happened. It nothing less than pure genius.

Number one: Take away any outside chance Iran had an operative nuke.

Number two: Take away the opportunity for Venezuela to fill the void to supply oil to China when you choke off the Iranian oil supply.

Number three: Do it under the guise of the war on drugs so you don’t show your cards. Capture the Venezuelan president, put him on ice while all of this takes place, so he doesn’t have a chance to screw up the plan.

Number four: Unleash the unbelievable power of the United States military on Iran and totally disable their ability to fight back in less than three weeks.

Number five: Block the Strait of Hormuz and cut off all of Iran’s ability to sell a single drop of petroleum, bankrupting the IRGC and it’s military.

Number six: By cutting off the money supply to the IRGC, it will result in internal conflict among the regime, and it will ultimately collapse. Not a single Marine will have to risk their lives in an invasion.

Number seven: With Venezuelan and Iranian oil cut off, China has no choice except to buy from Russia and USA. Creating a critical dependency China never saw coming.

Donald Trump just completely reset the world order in less than a year. Europe and England just became mostly irrelevant in most aspects, except their inordinate number of goat fuckers in their population.

DONALD TRUMP POSSIBLY SAVED THE ENTIRE WORLD FROM A NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE.

Will Mr. Trump ever receive the accolades he deserves for what he has done for the entire world population? I doubt it. But there are a lot of folks out there like me that see what he has done and appreciate the fact that our families now have a much better chance for a bright future here in the gool ol’ USA.

The next and very important battle is stopping the spread of communism, and Islam within our borders. Both are cancers and need to be excised before it’s too late. I have forever contended and continue to do so, that colleges and universities need to be purged of American hating professors. No anti-American rhetoric should every be allowed to be spoken in our institutions of higher learning. Survival of America depends on strong actions but tempered so that personal freedoms are not trampled.

CENTER-RIGHT NEWS ANALYSIS. MOVING FURTHER RIGHT IN RESPONSE TO DEMOCRAT RHETORIC.

How many people have you heard say these words; Donald Trump does not act presidential, and his speech is anything but eloquent. His speech is course and undignified. He is always self-promoting. I like his policies, but I don’t like him. I’m quite sure those people who say they don’t like him as a person, have never been anywhere close to being in his presence. On the contrary, people who interact with DJT find him very gracious, and kind, and fun to be around.

As most of you know by now, I spent my life in the construction industry, surrounded by people just like our president. Guys that didn’t use sugar coated words, and got things done when nobody thought it was possible. They got things done because they didn’t back down from the challenge. The harder things got the harder they pushed. Quitters don’t last in that world. So, the prez is my kind of guy. When he talks, what he says rings true. When he gets down on someone, I can guarantee they deserved it.

You can tell that Trump is dead serious because when he speaks to other world leaders, he don’t do no kissin’ up. He knows he is holding the best hand in the house and damn sure plays it. He speaks to them truthfully and directly, he’s not letting those leftist weirdos dress down Uncle Sam anymore. Those days are over for now. He stands tall, exhibits American pride exactly like he should.

All of that said, Operations “Midnight Hammer” and “Epic Fury” are the ultimate examples of why you should pay attention when he says he is going to do something. Taking Maduro prisoner in the middle of the night is another reason you should pay attention. Do you remember Obama and his “red line” bullshit? Another gutless lefty, closet commie. Biden wasn’t sure where he was at any given moment. I’m sure you have noticed how vile and ugly the Democrat rhetoric has become towards Trump over the past several months, that’s because he is making them look like fools and losers every single day, because his influence is extending far beyond the US borders and they know they are outclassed and out maneuvered on every front.

Dang, I forgot about the navy sending the drug boats to Davy Jone’s locker. And Trump is starving out the Castro regime in Cuba without firing a single shot. The Cuban citizens have had enough of that crap, it’s over for the Castro commie thugs. Trump has put them out of business. It feels really good to be an American again.

OK my fellow patriots, lets take a moment and think about what I said above and what we have seen our government do over the years since WWll. It’s not exactly a good track record. WWll is a very important benchmark in American history, because it’s the last war we won. We’ve fought six wars since WWll and have not had a decisive victory. One hell of a lot of young Americans have died and been horribly maimed because the politicians didn’t have the balls to finish the job. It’s looking like Trump is going to break the cycle. It is a well-known fact that over the past forty years, Iran has sponsored a very effective terrorist network that has taken the lives of thousands of Americans and Jews, yet no president has had the spine to do what should have been done 30 years ago. In my opinion, I think it can be said with certainty, we have a very long run of total dumbass presidents that lacked the ability to see the world with clear eyes. Also, it’s my opinion that the so-called “bleedng heart liberals” have done immeasurable damage to this great nation with their week kneed, candy ass ideas. “Hard men create strong times, weak men create hard times.” This saying is 100% true.

I stopped writing last night because I had long day and had to get some rest. Today was another news day and of course everything has changed directions again. I have pretty much stopped listening to Fox and other news outlets when I want to know what is happening in Iran, I go to Tousi TV on You Tube. The guy that operates that channel is a former Iranian citizen, his father still lives there as well as other family members. He is Persian and an avid fan of Trump, Netanyahu, and anyone else that fights against the IRGC. I spend half an hour watching Tousi and learn more than watching network TV for two or three days. I would highly recommend checking out his channel.

I had another revelation today and realized I was no better than the other knuckleheads. My glorious hand made US flag was still rolled up in my garage from being stored for the winter months. You are probably asking what the hell is the point. Well, this is my point. Do you remember the patriotic fervor after 9/11? Everyone was flying our glorious flag on their vehicles, houses and anywhere else they put it up. Same thing happened after the invasion of Iraq. This military action against Iran is somehow different. I don’t see anybody flying flags from the cars and trucks. No unusual amount of flag flying going on in residential neighborhoods. What the hell is going on? Yet this has been the most decisive military victory since WWll. Our military personnel have shown unequivocally they are the best on the planet, bar none. Why is there no outpouring of praise and patriotism? This is a really big deal. Trump has very likely saved the world from a future nuclear holocaust by a bunch of religious maniacs. This action has also highlighted the real and present danger presented by the Islamic religion. American citizens need to pay real attention to this and demand that Islam not be allowed to grow in this Christian nation. Fifty-two thousand Christian Nigerians have been slaughtered by Muslim mad men since 2009. Muslim children are taught to hate Christians and Jews from birth. I find it interesting that our lame ass media are careful to add the word “extremists” after saying Muslim or Islamic. Quit lying assholes, every Muslim is an extremist, it’s how they are raised from children.

I’m done for the day. I put up my flag; I’m going to put one on the rear window of my Suburban tomorrow. My wife has hers in place on her car. I have a lot of patriotic tee shirts, I’m going to wear those more often. I want to be seen as a patriot not another brain-dead idiot. God bless America, God bless our President and our glorious military. God bless all of you that take the time to read my rants. I feel so much better now.
