Delicious Irony

The smoke has cleared from this week's Super Tuesday train wreck, but there are still some embers alive in the fire.  The Democrat Machine has again apparently sabotaged Bernie Sanders' campaign, which represents the new young commies like the Squad, and have thrown their support to Creepy Joe, who represents the white, corrupt and aging party elite..  Again.  Now that in itself is interesting for several reasons.  

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden: Old Democrats

First, because President Trump himself has said that a campaign against Comrade Bernie would be tougher than one against Ol' Joe, it seems logical that the DNC would want to give Trump a harder run by putting Crazy Bernie up against him.  But no.  If they did that, it would be a tacit surrender to the party's hard, hard leftward drift, and the old white Democrat establishment would have to hand the reins of the party over to the Socialists/Marxists/Islamists/Communists like AOC, Ilhan, Rashid and the rabid Bernie Bro's who advocate for the leftward "transformation" of the United States.  And no matter what happens at home or abroad, the crusty white Democrat Machine ain't never - I say never, Amen! - gonna willingly hand over their power to young idealists/Islamists/radicals like they themselves once were.

The  Squad:  New Islamic/Marxist Democrats

Second, we now are witnessing an internal power struggle in the aging Democrat party; the established white guys versus the young idealistic radical people of color.  The irony is lost on the established white guys, and I include Nanny Pelosi in that cadre, that it was they themselves who imported, trained and groomed those who now challenge their status quo.  Talk about the Squad biting the hand that feeds. And the old guys are terrified of these new commie upstarts. At any rate, we see battle lines drawn as the crusty corrupt Democrat Machine squares off with the Antifa militants that they raised.

But to add a little more injury to the DNC's civil war, neither faction can beat Trump in November.  They know it and Trump knows it.  So for the DNC the solution becomes obvious:  Run Joe, sabotage Bernie.  Again.  Only time will tell if the hardcore Bernie Bros and their cohorts in Antifa take to the streets.

But eventually they will try to end this civil war, and attempt to put together a coalition of the Perpetually Corrupt and the Perceptually Angry in their all-inclusive party structure, and hope for the best in 2024, when they won't be up against Trump anymore. But if populism remains the driving political force for a decade or more, the Democrat Party may be experiencing its own death throes. And if that does in fact become the case, their destruction will be by their own hand.

And that will be a delicious irony.

No, It's Not A Conspiracy

All this talk about radical Muslims infiltrating the government, and creating and maintaining sleeper cells in suburban communities all across the nation, and plotting to erase our republican form of self government and replace it with the strict, unforgiving Islamic sharia law, that's all right-wing crazy talk, isn't it?

Um, no.  I have written about this issue in these pages numerous times.  I'm not a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist; my goal is simply to make folks aware of this existential danger to our culture and our very way of life.  I have documented previously that the Muslim Brotherhood, in their own 1991 official document, outlines the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategic goals for North America and their quest to destroy Western civilization.  These are the Muslim Brotherhood's own words:

“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers…”

“[W]e must possess a mastery of the art of ‘coalitions’, the art of ‘absorption’ and the principles of ‘cooperation.’”

Well, now.  That's pretty straight forward and to the point. Let's take them at their word.  With this, their own game plan for destroying the United States in mind, the stupefyingly idiotic utterances of enemies such as Illan Omar and Rashida Tlaib makes perfect sense.  They are the infiltrators who are running the Brotherhood's "civilization jihad" operation. There are others, of course.  They are the countless thousands that the despicable Kenyan imported and relocated in cites all across the nation.  Many are right here in New Tampa.  They're here to stay; halal delis have sprung up all over and hijabs are found in every local store.  To stay here, yes, but not to assimilate.  They're rude, aggressive and condescending.  I, myself, was forced to present my firearm after being assaulted by a group of four men in a car.  True story.

Philip Haney, DHS

But what's more telling than all of this, is the fact of a suspicious murder last week of an interesting man that you've never heard of.  Philip Haney, the Department of Homeland Security whistleblower who spoke out against his own agency during the Obama administration, was found shot dead in Plymouth, California.  He was shot once in the chest, and the firearm was left at the scene.  Sound familiar?  Folks who wish to tell the truth about the sedition and treason emanating from the Kenyan's jihad administration, tend to end up dead.   During testimony to the Senate in July, 2016, titled Willful Blindness: Consequences of Agency Efforts To Deemphasize Radical Islam in Combating Terrorism, Haney stated the obvious when he noted,  

"The threat of Islamic terrorism does not just come from a network of armed organizations such as Hamas and ISIS, who are operating 'over there' in the Middle East. In fact, branches of the same global network have been established here in America, and they are operating in plain sight, at least to those of us who have been charged with the duty of protecting our country from threats, both foreign and domestic."

Having retired honorably in 2015, Haney was planning to rejoin DHS, and again bring to light the insane policies of the Kenyan's treasonous protect-the-Muslim-invaders-at-all-cost operations.  The San Bernardino Christmas shooting could have been prevented; the Pulse gay night club in Orlando shooting could have been prevented, The Fort Hood shooting could have been prevented, and the Naval Air Station Pensacola shooting could have been prevented, if agents at the DHS were not told to stand down.  But they were told to destroy files DHS had kept on radicalized Muslims, and so they did.  Haney spells it out for The Daily Mail reports:

Haney gained national attention after he called out the DHS under the Obama administration, of which he criticized for its handling of radical Jihadists and Islamic extremists, in 2016.  

He would testify that DHS ordered him to delete hundreds of files pertaining to people with ties to Islamist terrorist groups and argued that several terrorist attacks in the U.S. could have been prevented if certain files were maintained. 

'It is very plausible that one or more of the subsequent terror attacks on the homeland could have been prevented if more subject matter experts in the Department of Homeland Security had been allowed to do our jobs back in late 2009,' Haney wrote in an opinion piece for The Hill in 2016.

In regards to a thwarted terror attack on a Christmas Day flight to Detroit, Michigan, Haney recalled how Obama cast blame on DHS for not identifying the threat.

'President Obama threw the intelligence community under the bus for its failure to 'connect the dots.' He said, 'this was not a failure to collect intelligence, it was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence that we already had.'

He also called out the administration for prioritizing 'political correctness' over safety. 

'I can no longer be silent about the dangerous state of America's counter-terror strategy, our leaders' willingness to compromise the security of citizens for the ideological rigidity of political correctness—and, consequently, our vulnerability to devastating, mass-casualty attack.'

Haney said the devastating 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting and 2015 San Bernardino terror attack could have been prevented if DHS took the right precautions.

In a 2015 interview with Fox News, Haney said his and other DHS employees efforts were stalled after they were accused of unfairly targeting Muslims.

So there you have it.  In spite of these chilling revelations, the Kenyan's main concern was "unfairly targeting Muslims" rather than the fact that radical Islam is a real and present danger to the United States and to Western civilization.  They've told us so in their own words.  It's not a conspiracy theory.  And the Kenyan, now as then, did all he could to import, protect and abet the nation's sworn enemy, even as they carry our their "civilization jihad" operation against the United States unopposed.

Remember that shooting war I predicted in my last post? This creeping civilization jihad is just another reason to stay vigilant, arm up, and prepare, prepare, and prepare.  An old theme song comes to mind. Bad boys, bad boys, wotcha gonna do when they come for you. The take away here is if you tell the truth about the Kenyan's treason, and his use of Islam to destroy the US, you might just end up suicidal.  

Don't believe me?  Just ask Phil Haney.

Blatant Injustice

All of us have realized by now that the previously lauded intelligence community in this country has been completely and utterly corrupted under the disastrous Kenyan's administration.  And it's official; it's no longer a conspiracy theory.  The Department of Justice has not even attempted to hide its Muslim Brotherhood's influenced war against white conservatives.  Even Breitbart's John Nolte has noticed.  And he, like many of us, is seriously pissed off about it.  I quote below from his article posted February 23 as he discusses the discrepancy of the intelligence community - i.e. the Deep State headed by the Kenyan - and how they handle intelligence.  They actually warned Sanders that Russia intends to influence the 2020 election by helping him, but in 2016 actually spied on Trump's campaign.

The same corrupt Deep State that spied on Trump has briefed Bernie Sanders about Russian attempts to meddle on his behalf.   Hey, am I the only one more than a little sick and tired of being treated like a second-class citizen in my own goddamned country?

James Clapper commits perjury… Skates.
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page commit adultery and plot a coup… Skate.
Andrew McCabe lies to the FBI… Skates
John Brennan leaks classified information… Skates.
James Comey leaks classified information… Skates.
Adam Schiff caught on audio soliciting foreign election meddling… Skates.
Hillary Clinton destroys some 30,000 emails under congressional subpoena… Skates.
Hillary Clinton sets up a secret, unsecured email server and illegally sends classified information through it… Skates.
Roger Stone? Forty months in prison.
Ret. Gen. Michael Flynn? Life annihilated and facing prison.

There is no justice in this country, only them the persecutors and we the persecuted.  Democrats and their Deep State allies can lie and leak to destroy innocent people, they can destroy evidence, they can seek to manipulate and overturn democracy, and all they get are movie deals, book contracts, speaking fees, and cable news cash.  And now there’s this… The Democrat frontrunner for the 2020 presidential nomination, Bernie Sanders, was briefed last month that Russia is attempting to help him win the nomination.

Well.  Isn't that special?  Bless their deep state hearts.   Worse, Nolte doesn't mention that our gal Hil, while Secretary of State, among her numerous other crimes and misdemeanors, was involved in the transfer of 20% of U.S. uranium reserves to the new Russian owners of an international mining operation in exchange for $145 million in donations to her criminal enterprise, the Clinton Foundation.  No investigation.  No charges.  She skates.

And to rub salt in patriots' wounds, it looks as Bernie continues to burn through the IA, NH and NV primaries, even Dick Morris now believes that Hillary will instigate a brokered Democrat convention, in which she will be nominated as the presidential nominee.  I wrote about this recently.  Well, the third time's a charm, as they say, and its no secret Hillary believes she is entitled to the office, presumably by the divine right of kings no doubt.

If that scenario actually happens, and she is the democrat candidate, there will be a outright, full blown civil war.  A shooting war that will be in reaction to the ever more blatant and obvious inequities and unconstitutional machinations perpetrated by the Kenyan's Muslim-controlled Deep State and the Democrat Party.  And even if we win, the nation will be weakened, and will never be the same again.  Our enemies will swoop in, as is planned, and the home of the brave and the concept of we, the people, will be lost forever.

So if we fail at the ballot box in November, you better have guns, ammo and survival supplies.  And I kid you not.

Maybe, Just Maybe

Conservatives may have reason to cautiously regain their trust in government and in the rule of law.  For decades, the left has pushed harder and harder to marginalize, ostracize and generally quash any semblance of conservative thought.  Further, the left has infiltrated the justice system so thoroughly that  any wrongdoing by leftists -  the DNC and its operatives, the media, academia and the deep state - is swept under the rug, while any slight misstep by conservatives is pounced upon mercilessly. Note for example the difference in coverage of the Bidens' and Clintons' corruption, as opposed to the trumped up (pun intended) "offenses" of the president.  And conservatives as a whole, by their very nature, are disinclined to protest or fight back against this wholly inequitable treatment, they essentially just sit idly by and let it happen.

Yet today we see some evidence that justice may be again rising up in the face of the totalitarian media/deep state persecution of all things conservative, thanks in large part to a plethora of upstart alternative media groups who are actually engaged in honest-to-God journalism, not state sponsored propaganda as is the case with the MSM.

To wit:  We see the Feds beginning to investigate Ilhan Omar, the radical Islamist who, although an elected Congresswoman, has broken nearly every campaign and immigration law on the books.  As first reported by The Gateway Pundit, conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch this week filed a House Ethics complaint against Omar over immigration, marriage, tax and student loan fraud.  Whew.  That's a bunch of fraud!  Oh, yeah, and the State of Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board has already determined that she violated state campaign finance laws for improper use of campaign funds, not the least of which was paying for her second divorce attorney.  As dirty as she is, will the DNC defend her, and keep her from being kicked out of congress?  Probably.

Speaking of sex-crazed corrupt democrats, creepy hands-all-over-you Uncle Joe's son Hunter is quite a player himself.  While recent revelations have shown Joe Biden bragging about his staging a quid pro quo in the Ukraine by withholding US aid until the Ukrainians fired a prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden, Joe's son and brother James have both been enriched through Joe's political influence as a vice president, and earlier as a US Senator and member of the Senate Banking committee.  Hunter's peccadilloes are seeing the light of day, as well, primarily because of the testimony presented in his custody case. 

That's probably why Attorney General Barr is still digging.  Three weeks ago,the Department of Justice exposed a multi-million dollar campaign funding scandal for Democrats.  On Nov. 7, 2019, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia indicted Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, along with George Nader, Roy Boulos, Rudy Dekermenjian, Mohammad “Moe” Diab, Rani El-Saadi, Stevan Hill and Thayne Whipple.  Cool!  Diversity at its finest!  George Nadar, the known pedophile and child porn fan, was a star witness for Mueller’s  infamous witch hunt.  These perps funneled laundered and illegal money into Democrat campaigns, and worse, almost every Democrat state organization and many super PACs,  including Priorities USA accepted these illegal funds.  Individual party leaders took this money, too, including Adam Schiff,  Ted Lieu, Jon Tester, Cory Booker, Hillary Clinton, and others.  What a surprise!  Our betters taking dirty money from Muslim operatives. 

So that's the good news.  This is the type of corruption President Donald Trump wants to investigate, and it's what the Democrats impeached him for, likely because he was getting too close to the truth. The corruption of the democrats in power - aka the deep state - is pervasive and far reaching, and it's about time for the federal government to investigate, charge, and indict these amoral totalitarian hacks.  The problem is, however, that these investigations will ultimately go all the way to the top, and Hillary Clinton and the bastard Muslim Kenyan will be exposed for the traitors and criminals that they are.  But we'll see.  Investigations like this always come down to a variation of "Nothing to see here, folks."  And people get dead when they attempt to look too closely under Hil's and the Kenyan's skirts.

But maybe this time . . . maybe.  Just maybe.

Unit 910

Well, one way to welcome in the new year is to get right down to it and have a good old fashioned missile-throwing contest.  Having tired of sponsoring the one-off knifing or the random vehicle-into-the-crowd type terror, the Ayatollah has now decided to go ahead and play with the big-boy toys. It appears he's pissed off that the US - and by that I mean our street fighting president Donald Trump - punched the ticket of Ayatollah Khamenei's bestest buddy and senior terror-planner Qasem Soleimani.  And he did so right before Soleimani could execute a really, really big terror attack on US armed forces and diplomats.  Can you imagine the audacity? L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace!

So now the supreme leader of the Islamic terror factory occupying the once-great nation of Iran is launching missiles at US installations in Iraq, in a mindless attempt to avenge Soleimani's recent vaporization.  That's a childish and dumb move, and nothing good for Iran can come of it.  But Iran's missile hardware and a few aging Russian jets isn't what worries the US, as any armed conflict with them would last only as long as did our 1991 liberation of Kuwait - mere hours.

The real threat to America - and the American culture and way of life - is threefold:  the embedded Islamic radicalization of federal and local government; the undue influence of organized Islamic groups like CAIR and others; and worse, sleeper cells within the United States.  I have warned folks about this internal threat for years, and now others have added their voices as well.

Todd Bensman is one such voice.  In  writing for The Fedralist, Bensman warns us about Unit 910, a clandestine group of Quds Force supported Hezbollah operatives who are at this very moment stationed in US cities all across the land.   

Weirdly absent from much of the professional speculation about where and how Iran will exact its promised “severe revenge” for the U.S. drone strike killing of Quds Force Gen. Qassem Suleimani is mention of the dead man’s highly suggestive hint. During a time of intense saber rattling between Iran and President Donald Trump in July 2018, Suleimani gave a speech during which he called out the American president: “Mr. Gambler, Trump! I’m telling you that we are close to you, exactly where you wouldn’t think that we are.”. .

. . . We know Shiite Muslims from Lebanon have been recruited and trained to live in American cities as sleeper agents of Hezbollah’s so-called clandestine External Security Organization (ESO), known colloquially as Unit 910, because agents have been prosecuted over the years, leaving behind detailed public records. The most current source of public information about Unit 910 in America comes from two federal prosecutions that resulted in 2019 convictions, one of Ali Kourani in the Bronx, New York, and the other of Samer El Debek in Dearborn, Michigan. . . .

. . . Their main purpose from about 2007 until their 2017 arrests was to pose in plain sight as normal immigrant family men while they collected weapons and built target lists for when they were activated to strike, court records show.

Well now.  That's new information.  Todd Bensman is no wild-eyed conspiracy theorist; he's a Texas-based senior national security fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies and a writing fellow for the Middle East Forum. For nearly a decade, Bensman led counterterrorism-related intelligence efforts for the Texas Department of Public Safety's Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division.  You can read his full article here.

According to Fox News recently, in order to further grease the skids of the Kenyan's disastrous Iranian Nuclear Agreement - and in addition to the billions of US taxpayer dollars just gifted to Iran - an Iranian member of Parliament confirmed that the Kenyan issued as many as 2,500 US citizenship orders to senior Iranian officials linked to Iranian President Rouhani.  How very generous of him.  Now those Kenyan-supported terrorist operatives are here in the United States, living among us as US citizens.  Some of them, I suspect, are  living right here in my own neighborhood.

So there's really no need to be concerned about a World War III scenario. We won't be hit with ballistic missiles from afar, or see enemy bombers in the skies overhead.  That's because there are adults running the countries in the US and Israel, and cooler heads will prevail. The childish tantrums of some 7th century fanatic will be dealt with appropriately, of course, or recognized as simply a face-saving maneuver.  But all out war isn't an option.  

That said, however, I would not ignore the obvious threat that the Kenyan has created for us by literally importing these savages into our neighborhoods.  There is no denying that they are here, and they absolutely seek to do us harm.  True, some of our Muslim acquaintances may not be our sworn enemies.  

But not all.

Told Ya - It's Hillary

Well, well well.  The democrat global clown show - known to most as the Impeachment - has been successful.  Two hundred thirty-two rabid house democrats, feverish with TDS, voted to impeach the forty-fifth president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.  Two democrat house members voted Nay, one voted present, and not a single Republican voted Yay.  So according to the constitution, the matter is now to be handed over to the Senate, who will try the case and acquit or convict.  The smart money has it that there's exactly zero chance of a conviction in the Senate.  So, the clown master, Herr Nancy Pelosi, will stall sending the so-called Articles of Impeachment to the Senate.  After all, she knows it will not go in her and the democrats' favor, but she's done all the damage she can do to Trump at this point.  And that was the goal all along:  drape the shame of impeachment onto Trump's legacy.  But history is written by the winners, so we'll patiently wait for that final assessment.

Meanwhile, the long knives have come out for Uncle Joe.  The indisputable fact is that the guy is as  corrupt as the day is long.  Further, he and his son are politically toxic from all that Ukrainian hryvnya finding its way into the Bidens' collective pockets.  That's going to be hard to overcome in the candidate debates, especially against Trump.  Also, Biden's not healthy, doctors are saying; and he's not got both oars in the water.  Others are telling us dementia is catching up to Uncle Joe.  So turning their backs - again - on their own past-vice-president, the DNC seems to have another darling in mind for their nominee.

And who might that be?  Someone who has been more and more vocal and more visible of late.  Who has had some hard words for the president as she tours the fawning media circuits.  Who dat, you say?  Well, here's a hint:  at 72 years old, she just got another face lift, some Botox injections, and looks like a brand new . . .  yikes! . . . I don't know what you'd call that!

And there are other clues, too.  The Kenyan - bless his heart - has come out and publicly opined that women indisputably make better leaders than do men.  Well, he would know, I guess.  He tried to castrate and pussify the entire nation during his eight year reign of domestic abuse.  And came mighty close, too.  But now we have adult males back in charge and things are getting better all the time.  That's why Hillary and her crime network want to re-enter the arena of public office, and continue their campaign of corruption and destruction.

So it seems very much as if she's setting the stage to come into the 2020 presidential fray - back by popular demand as she so arrogantly describes it - to save the DNC and America with her brand of tyranny.  And who will be her running mate?  Rumors range from Mike Robinson (aka Michelle) to John Kerry.  I wouldn't bet against the Kenyan himself trying for a lame comeback as her Veep.  Constitutionally that's unlikely, but the Kenyan has the vile and corrupt Eric Holder as his wing man, never forget, so the rule of law matters little here.  All these folks are pathetic human and political failures who have been undermining American interests for their entire lives.  Yet they lie in waiting, hoping for another chance at fulfilling their fantasies of crippling America before Attorney General Barr flushes them down the drain.  So there's that.

But watch out for Hillary 2020. She's got a brand new Franken-face, and she's destined to become the first female president, even if that slaps the face of the oh-so-woke LBGT-WFT sexually cofused anger mob.  But history has shown that ego and hubris know no bounds, and our gal Hil is out to prove it yet again.  

Meanwhile Trump will carry the election in a landslide in both the popular vote and in the electoral college.  Bring popcorn.

Americans Save the World. Again.

Let them bitch.  Let them complain, whine, denigrate and lie about us.  Let them blame us for anything and everything.  Let them wallow in the primordial sludge that passes for intellect that they've created for themselves.  I don't care.  The globalist Marxist left is taking it in the shorts all over the world.  They're right about one thing, however.  It's the Americans that are to blame.  And we're damn proud of it.

It's the Americans' manifest destiny to rid the world of evil, no matter where it rears its ugly hydra head.  We recognized that destiny in 1776 when we formed the first self government in the history of mankind.  One that is of, by and for the people, just as God intended.  And for two and a half centuries, in Somalia, France, Indo-China, Japan, Meso-America, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, we've been busy doing just that:  Freeing the world from tyranny.

I don't use the term America because it's not America, per se, that is the world's savior; it's the American people themselves.  In America we still have tyranny:  Hillary Clinton and her crime syndicate, the despicable Muslim bastard Kenyan, the Soros crime family, and a host of other un-elected criminals, communists, tyrants, democrats and scoundrels of all colors and stripes.  

The American

But it is the American - that strong, silent, steely-eyed individual who makes the country run - he's the one who influences and inspires the other citizens of the world, and who has shown them the way to throwing off their own despots and tyrants.  And it's being done without our military invading every disgusting shithole country in the world.  Don't give me the Monroe Doctrine argument; this transcends it.  Karl Von Clausewitz noted a century ago that war is politics by other means.  As the twenty-first century matures, let's see how the Americans, by throwing off their own deep state tyranny, has set a precedent for others to follow.

The American

In Hong Kong, protestors have taken the election of Donald Trump as a metaphor for their own struggle for freedom.  If the Americans can do it, so can we, is their prevailing attitude.  In 1997, after Britain granted independence to Hong Kong, Communist China considered the handover as simply a return to mainland China and its totalitarian rule.  But the Heung Gong Yahn as they call themselves, or Hong Konger in English, want no part of the People's Republic of China.  They've been a separate and distinct political region of the mainland for decades, and have gotten used to independent near-sovereignty.  After tasting freedom, they won't go gently back into that good night without a fight.  And it's the average everyday American who is their inspiration.

And speaking of British Crown Colonies, it seems our cousins across the pond have had quite enough, thank you, of that nation's insane leftward lurch into globalism.  It was mistake to join the European Union in the first place, and all the Brits got out of that was a depressed economy, rising crime, Islam, and the embarrassment of a once-proud empire receding into a third world country.  Thanks Mayor Kahn, and all the globalist jokers who have a power choke hold on Parliament.  But this week, Boris Johnson's conservative Tories pulled off a landslide victory over the left wing Labor Party's Jeremy Corbyn.  Now BoJo is the new Prime Minister, residing at 10 Downing Street.  And how did the Tories manage a win over Labor reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher's victory in 1979?  By appealing to the common working man, the blue collar blokes, the very stronghold of longtime Labor voters.  Just like Trump did here stateside.  Britons, Scots, Welsh, and Irish all had had enough of their leaders palling around with terrorists, dictators and tyrants.  And they want out of the disastrous European Union, with its unfair currency, open borders, antisemitism and love affair with Islam.

What's remarkable in these stories is the sea change in political perception.  People all over the world are weary - and wary - of their tyrannical governments regardless of the severity of that tyranny.  Only in America are the people themselves the masters of their own destiny, and while over the last century that freedom has been slowly eroded, the American is now awaking to that fact and has taken it to the voting booth.  And people around the world are taking notes.  It can happen there, too, they are saying, and they know it and they want it.  

But so does the globalist left notice. They won't take defeat lying down.  Here in the States, for example, we've seen the coup rattle on for over three years.  The left vowed to impeach Trump immediately after the presidential election results were confirmed back in November 2016.  Not because of anything Trump had done or not done, but simply because they lost the election.  Hillary was supposed to win; she not only rigged the democrat primary to assure her place, but she also set in motion a coup d'etat in the unlikely event she lost.  That was Peter Strozk's infamous "insurance policy."  But she lost anyway and the left has been throwing childish tantrums ever since.

So look for more angst and violence from the left.  They won't accede their power; it must be wrest from their cold dead hands.

And that is one job that is perfect for the American.

Why They Are Still A Threat

Here I was making nice about the Arab mindset in my last post, but I cautioned that they, being mostly Muslim, are a threat to the United States.  This is one reason why, Mr. Said, Occidentals look down on Muslims.  It's not because they are Arabs per se, it's because they are Islamists.  And Islam is not compatible with any civilization.

The news is still breaking, but a gunman killed several people in an attack on Pearl Harbor naval base a few days ago, and yesterday yet another gunman killed several people in Pensacola Naval Air station.

The sailor at Pearl Harbor was Gabriel Romero, 22, who was assigned to stand guard on the fast attack submarine USS Columbia.  He shot three civilian contractors with his service rifle, killing two, then shot himself with his service pistol.  Details are still emerging regarding his motives.

The Saudi Arabian terrorist at Pensacola was Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a  second lieutenant in the Saudi Air Force. He opened fire in a aviation classroom building at the Naval Air Station, killing three people. Eleven people were shot all together, including two sheriff’s deputies who were the first to respond, one of whom killed the shooter, according to Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan. One of the deputies was shot in the arm and the other in the knee, and both were expected to recover. 

The ever-so-tolerant United States brand of political correctness must end.  Recognize the Islamist for what he is, whether he's an Arab or Hispanic or whatever.  He's a terrorist, and whether Edward Said thinks so or not, he is to be ostracized, neutralized and eliminated.  

With extreme prejudice. 

Orientialism? Sorry, Mr. Said. You're Wrong

Every year about this time I write about the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, mostly in an effort to remember our history in order to fully understand our present, and ultimately, our future.  At that time the Japan was an empire seeking expansion, and their ambitions were stopped in that pursuit just four years later.  After the war, they got the power, wealth and recognition they were seeking.  But that success came with a heavy price, and required a radical change in the way the Japanese mindset looked at the world.   For the Japanese, and the rest of the Asian world, it worked out for the better.

Another attack on US soil sixty years later has had a completely different outcome and effect.  The enemy in the 11 September 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon was radical Islam. Unlike the Japanese adventurism that only sought control of the entire Pacific, Islam has been at war with the West for fourteen hundred years and still seeks global domination.  And in the Islamic mind, the "West" is white, European, Christian, and non-Muslim. An interesting sidebar here is the choice of the date of the 9/11 attack:  it both was sixty years after the Japanese attacked America on her home soil, and it was the exact date of the defeat of the Ottoman empire at the hands of a coalition of Christian Europeans at Vienna in 1683.

Yet in spite of well over a thousand years of conflict with - and by that I mean attacks upon - the West, Islam tries in vain to redefine itself.  Enter one Edward Said, a self described Palestinian American who sought to reverse the notion that young men from the Arab and Levantine (a rough geographical area including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine) ruling classes should attend British colonial colleges, in order to become the Anglicized post-colonial administrators who would rule their countries after British decolonization.  Since the publication of his seminal work, Orientalism in 1978, wherein he cites these prejudices, much academic discourse has begun to use the term "Orientalism" to refer to a presumed general patronizing Western attitude towards Middle Eastern, Asian, and North African societies. In Said's analysis, the West views these societies as static and undeveloped—thereby fabricating a view of Oriental culture that can be studied, depicted, and reproduced. Implicit in this fabrication, Said said, is the idea that Western society is developed, rational, flexible, and superior, while the Middle East is not.

Well, okay.  He might be right about that.  Some societies pale in comparison to others. That's a fact that in today's climate of non-judgementalism, one cannot profess less one be labeled as "racist".  Would this be called Occidentalism?  Interesting.  Said, I believe, struggles with his own self-depreciating perception that the West looks down upon the Arabs - especially Muslim Arabs - as being inferior to the West in both thought and deed.  But who doesn't sometimes question one's own belief systems?  But that self awareness aside, the problem is that Said's musings have gained traction in the most unlikely - and most dangerous  - places: the United States military.

Many readers of these pages know that a tradition at my house is to invite foreign military officers who are assigned to the Global War on Terror and stationed at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at my home.  I've had the pleasure of meeting South Korean, Bosnian, Japanese, French and Belgian officers across my dining room table, and have had many in depth conversations with them about this topic, the GWOT, and America's role in that conflict.  This year, however, I hosted a Muslim officer from a North African nation and his family. I want to make it perfectly clear that this officer is a gentleman, and I genuinely like him as a man and as an Arab.  But with the three days of back-and-forth regarding this Islamic dietary requirements, I experienced first hand the misplaced superiority that Muslims have regarding the kafir.  My lovely wife, in order to be the gracious hostess she is, actually made two Thanksgiving dinners - one halal and one traditional.  It was a success, and the evening was full of intellectual engagement and the evening was enjoyed by all.

That cultural annoyance aside, my guest, as part of his officer graduation assignments, had written a paper that essentially echoed Said's Orientalism.  In fact he cites Said numerous times.  He and I discussed this, and we left agreeing to disagree.  But how is this dangerous?  Because this man, along with other Muslim officers whose tour of duty includes advising US strategies in the Middle East, is convinced that the West, as whole, regards the Middle East, its people and cultures as inferior.  That the Muslim world is a victim of Occidental colonization and oppression, and that the West now must make amends.  Odd.  My personal experiences would indicate otherwise.  Worse, the US military brass, always bending over backward to be politically correct, are actually absorbing this nonsense, and are applying it as military policy.  Consider the Vietnam-era policy of "wining hearts and minds" on an order of magnitude, and you'll grasp the impact that Orientalism will continue to have on US foreign policy.  This means that our military is now being advised that the "power" of the "privileged" West needs to be taken down a notch to reach a parity with Islam, which has declared war upon us, and calls for our destruction.

Yet it is they, the Islamists, who consider themselves superior to the West.  And they don't realize that nothing occurs in a vacuum: They use explosives to kill as many people as possible indiscriminately; we use surgical strikes to limit collateral damage.  Yep, we use our technology to limit the KIAs on both sides.  They don't.  But they play the victim card when it becomes apparent they can't match us technologically.  

So as Islam continues its jihad - that's a holy war - on the West, they keep losing.  And the more they lose, the more they play the victim card.  In the political correct world of the upper echelon of military brass, that victim card seems to trump reason and logic, not to mention situational awareness. But down here at the civilian level - and at the grunt level as well, I'm told - the idea of Islamic victimhood is  pure and utter nonsense.  And it is very dangerous.  We already have seen the impact of Islamic cultural jihad in America:  in congress, in schools, and in media and entertainment. And it hasn't been pretty.

So Mr. Said, you're wrong.  We in the West don't consider you Islamists as inferior necessarily. But we do consider you a threat.

Crimes, Crimes And More Crimes

Democrats:  The Party That Makes Crime Pay.

The democrats, paragons of virtue that they are, remind us almost hourly that, in their view, our President is a common criminal, and We The People were dumb enough to elect him into office.  They have their constant narrative, and that is that the Orange Man Bad, and they, of course, are without sin. But is that true?  Let's find out.

Hunter Biden

Joe Biden's son is a not bad looking dude and has a killer name, I'll give him that, but he got caught with his hand in the Ukrainian cookie jar.  Worse, his personal life reads like a pulp fiction novel.  As a child he survived a car crash that killed his mother and sister; he survived a nasty divorce; lost his brother to terminal cancer; dated his brother’s widow; battled drug addiction; and now has found himself the focal point of nefarious Biden family dealings relating to Ukraine. Specifically, Joe Biden's quid pro quo regarding the withholding of US aid to Ukraine, unless they fired a prosecutor who was investigation Ukrainian energy department corruption. Whew!   Talk about international intrigue!  But Hunter was and is on the Burisma payroll for megabucks for doing exactly nothing. 

Ilhan Omar

Here's a sleazy Muslim democrat.  Since coming to the United States from Somalia, Ilhan Omar engaged in a fake marriage to Ahmed Hirsi and had several kids with him. Then, the “devout Muslim” Ilhan married Ahmed Elmi, her own brother, in a Christian wedding in order to commit more immigration fraud. While married to her brother, she filed her taxes as “Married Filing Jointly” with Hirsi. So it comes to light that Omar isn't her real name after all, it's Elmi.  Then, she divorced her brother and married Hirsi in a real marriage ceremony last year. Finally, Ilhan “Omar” abandoned her husband and kids this past summer and ran off with Democrat political consultant Tim Mynett, a guy who abandoned his own wife and child to run off with her.   Mynett's firm got $229,000 from Omar's campaign, which ain't allowed by law.  The Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleges that Omar used campaign funds to pursue her affair with Mynett.  Which she did.  Ooh, she's so slutty!

Rashida Tlaib

Here's yet another sleazy Muslim democrat. This is the bitch who, upon "swearing in" on a Koran,  at her reception just hours later told a cheering crowd about her mission against Donald Trump: “Impeach the motherfucker.”  Yeah, that's classy.  Immediately she starts braking rules: she's in hot water after Federal Election Commission filings show she paid herself thousands of dollars in salary from her successful midterm campaign. The filing shows her taking more than $17,000 in two disbursements as a salary nearly a month after the conclusion of the 2018 midterm elections. The problem with that is that a candidate can only draw a salary from the campaign for the duration of their candidacy. The FEC specifies that a candidate no longer qualifies for salary payments from the day after the general election.  Now she's done it again: The House Ethics Committee on Thursday released a boat load of her internal campaign communications in which Tlaib urgently requested money from her congressional campaign to defray personal expenses -- which you just cannot do.  Unless you're a Muslim democrat.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Yikes!  Our favorite barmaid is at it again!  She's having an affair with Saikat Chakrabarti, her chief of staff, and they apparently violated campaign finance law by funneling nearly $1 million in contributions from political action committees Chakrabarti established to private companies that he also controlled.  Wow.  Now that's amore!  What's with these young congressperson feminazis, anyway, fooling around with their male underlings?  Like Katie Hill?  And where can I sign up?

Hillary Clinton
There is so much corruption and criminal activity - and assisted "suicides" as well - surrounding this evil vicious hag that literally dozens of books have been written about it.  From Whitewater to Benghazi, here's a link to 22 of her major scandals.  And yet amazingly in this, our nation of laws, she walks - well stumbles - around free to this day.

The Kenyan
Sometime in the early 2000's, this nobody Chicago community organizer threw in with that corrupt political machine, and arose from nowhere to become President.  For two terms.  As he was Negro, no one dared criticize him out of fear of being ostracized and painted as racist, whatever that is.  So he was able to bring dirty Chicago politics right into the Oval Office.  His crimes, too, are legion; and countless books exposing his crimes and misdemeanors have been written as well.  From taking a fake name and social security number to creating a bogus birth certificate, from illegal importation of jihadists and illegals to weaponizing the IRS, here's a link to 75 times the Kenyan committed a criminal act.

Deep State
The so-called “deep state,” sometimes also known as “shadow government,” is often used to describe the bureaucracies of the military and spy agencies and their top secret inner-workings.  How big is the deep state?  Very.  How powerful?  Omnipotent.  What is it?  A cabal of CIA spies, FBI upper managment, un-elected bureaucrats, globalists, Never-Trumpers, mainstream media and others who seek control of the nation's government outside any oversight from We The People.  Notable criminals residing therein include John Brennan, James Comey, Robert Meuller, Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, Andrew McCabe, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, and many others we may never hear of.  And of course, our gal Hil and the Kenyan are card carrying members.

Ironically, it took the persecution of a duly elected president, and the ongoing fake prosecution of him, to expose this underground crime ring we attempted to outline here.  And we have barely scratched the surface.  A simple internet search of democrat crimes will reveal countless more crimes and criminals than recounted here.  By the way, DuckDuckGo is our recommended search engine as Google is severely leftward biased.

But I believe that justice and the rule of law will ultimately prevail, in part because more folks are now aware of just how corrupt our nation's government has become under the back channel influence of the deep state on our elected representatives, and in part because our president is leading the way against not only fighting back, but bringing those exposed to justice.

And it's about damn time.

Playing A Dangerous Game

"I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

We've all heard that quote before, and frankly, I think we should take it to heart.  It's generally attributed to Voltaire, but some have said it was from a biography of Voltaire penned by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, who wrote under the pseudonym S. G. Tallentyre.   She was an English writer best known for her biography of Voltaire titled The Life of Voltaire, first published in 1903. She also wrote The Friends of Voltaire, which she completed in 1906.  She didn't actually say it, she intimated that Voltaire said it. So, notwithstanding the feminists' claim to the quote, I'll credit Voltaire, thank you just the same.

But think about it when you hear the next snowflake whine about hate speech, whatever that is.  One of my best friends used to joke with this witticism: "I'm not bigoted; I just avoid niggers, spics and Jews!" The humor of this is in its contradiction.  But the truth and subtlety of the statement is lost on those pearl clutchers who immediately feign outrage at those three censored words.  Oops, that's hate speech.  We gotta stomp that out.  But there's no hate there.  It's simply a stated personal preference, which all of us have.  But what if we applied Voltaire's maxim instead of being triggered or offended?  We may recoil in disgust at its vulgarity, but if we truly champion free speech, we defend the right to say it, and move on.

It seems we've unlearned the old schoolyard rhyme:  "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."  Not so in today's infantile "woke" culture.  We're taught now that words are akin to assault.  We are encouraged to seek safe spaces from words that trigger or offend.  And we're further encouraged to shame, or condemn or even arrest those who may speak of things abhorrent to us, or to use words or phraseology that somehow upsets our tender sensibilities. 

The English language is one of the most - if not the most - expressive language in use today.  It's full of nuance and form and meaning that enhances conceptual understanding.  Ideas and concepts are made easier to grasp using English, because it contains a plethora of words that when combined into sentences, make thoughts and ideas more understandable.  For example, the Second Edition of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary, published in 1989, contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 considered obsolete. Add to this around 9,500 derivative words included as sub-entries.  Yet the average native English speaker acquires a vocabulary of perhaps 48,000 during his lifetime. 

But some elitists want to decimate this rich language by eliminating certain words they don't like.  And why are the Marxist/Socialist left in this country so anxious to ban or censor certain words?  To regulate, moderate and censor free speech, perhaps?  To nullify the God-given right to speak freely and openly?  Merely because some indoctrinated snowflake may be offended by hearing them?  To spare some idiot's tender sensibilities?  Or is there a more nefarious reason the left seeks to change the language?  If you change the language, you change the process of cognition, or understanding, and yes, of meaning.  So instead of using a vibrant and expressive language to seek ever deeper meaning, and exploring ideas more vigorously, the left seeks the opposite: rigid, dumbed-down and unenlightened. And that's their goal - to transform the basic concepts of understanding so that it adheres to, and supports, the left's insane world view.

Stimulate thinking and knowledge, or adhere to a rigid limited political dogma?  Expand the human brain, or deliberately atrophy it?  I know what my choice is; I'll use my native language as completely as I am able.  But the elitists, who seek to return society to a class structured feudalism, have made their choice as well.  But only for us, not for them.

And that's playing a dangerous game.
