AOC And Fellow Radicals: ‘We Are Bringing the Party Home’

November 12, 2019/in Commentary, Culture War, Elections, Policy, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Discover The Networks

Campaigning with aging Communist and presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders in Iowa over the weekend, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dismissed concerns from establishment Democrats that radicals like herself and Sanders are moving the Democrat Party “too far left.” Instead, she claimed they are “bringing the party home.”

“When people try to accuse us of going too far left — we’re not pushing the party left,” Ocasio-Cortez, otherwise known as AOC, told a crowd in Coralville, Iowa. “We are bringing the party home.”

“Are you all ready for a revolution?” she added. “I sure am.” So are her fellow freshmen representatives known as “The Squad”: Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley — extremists all. Not to mention older radicals like Sanders and his competitor Elizabeth Warren.

That’s because the Democrat Party has become the party of rebranded Communism. Their aim is the “fundamental transformation,” as Barack Obama notoriously put it, of the United States, including its economic transformation from capitalism to socialism.

Decrying Capitalism and America’s Racism & Environmental Policy

While speaking with Senator Bernie Sanders at a November 2019 “Climate Crisis” summit in Iowa, Ocasio-Cortez said:

“The reason we are in this crisis is because oil and gas has been one of the most profitable industries of the modern era and when we talk about fighting money in politics what we’re talking about is fighting big oil. We’re talking about fighting Wall Street. We’re talking about fighting big pharma.” Suggesting that the only way to get “get through this moment” [i.e., the Donald Trump presidency] was to “guarantee” health care to every American.”

She added:

“Here’s the thing, is that we can beat him but we have to vaccinate ourselves against something like this [Trump’s 2016 election victory] ever happening again, and the way we inoculate ourselves … from late-stage hyper capitalistic concentration of wealth among the very, very few is with a labor movement.”

Asserting also that “the way we inoculate ourselves from continuing to burn up our planet … is by honoring indigenous wisdom and allowing it to guide our climate policy,”

Ocasio-Cortez stated:

“The way that we preserve our systems is by transitioning to principles of universality. That means I want you clothed, I want you educated, I want you paid a living wage — no ifs, ands, or buts. And what that also means … is directly, consciously, combating white supremacy in the United States of America.”

The Whistle-Blower Rule is Wrong

November 12, 2019/in Commentary, Courts & Law, Elections, News, Policy, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Tim Bryce

The impeachment inquiry of President Trump has taken center stage in the political campaign of 2020, even to the point of overshadowing press coverage of the Democrat presidential candidates. The inquiry focuses on a statement from an alleged whistle-blower who expressed concern regarding a telephone call the President had with the incoming President of the Ukraine. As of this writing, the whistle-blower’s identity remains anonymous. Frankly, we do not know if this is one person or several as the complaint appears to have been written by a team of lawyers. As a result, the President and his representatives cannot ask questions of his accuser.

I have tried to look at this from both sides, Republican and Democrat, and took the position; what if this was President Obama being impeached and not President Trump? Be it Republican or Democrat, I came to the same conclusions.

The protection of the whistle-blower’s anonymity could easily be construed as in conflict with Amendment 6 of the Constitution (Rights of Accused in Criminal Prosecutions; the “Confrontation Clause”); to wit:

“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.”

This applies to criminal cases, not civil. I tend to see impeachment as a rather serious situation, after all it is reserved for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” It is also something we have considered only a handful of times in our republic’s history, yet we have never removed a president from office.

Frankly, we all know it will not happen as the Senate will inevitably come to the president’s defense and dismiss the charges coming from the House. The question remains, is impeachment a criminal case or civil? In all examples over the years, it has been treated as a heinous crime, which leads me to believe it is criminal and the President is being prohibited from facing his accuser(s).

Our history is littered with stories of whistle-blowers, such as in 2013 Edward Snowden, the NSA contractor who ignited the U.S. surveillance program scandal. There are also the whistle-blowers involved with the Benghazi scandal and the IRS intimidation program. Whistle-blowers have actually been with us a long time. In my life, it goes back to Daniel Ellsberg who in 1969 released the “Pentagon Papers” to the “New York Times,” detailing the military activity in Viet Nam under LBJ and Nixon. This, of course, ultimately triggered Watergate.

However, let’s go a little further back in time to 1925 when the Army instigated a court-martial against Colonel Billy Mitchell, an episode which has quickly been forgotten in history, but has an important bearing on the whistle-blowers of today.

Although Mitchell is primarily credited for building Air Power in this country, his military career goes as far back as the Spanish-American War where he served as the youngest Army officer (at age 18). Mitchell’s notoriety though began during “The Great War” (WWI) where, as Major, he became the first American officer to come under fire in the trenches of France. During the war, he earned several decorations and citations. More importantly, it was in France where he developed his fascination and passion for the airplane as a military weapon.

Mitchell understood the potential of the airplane. His superiors did not, and saw it as nothing more than a trivial instrument for observing enemy forces. They laughed at him when he claimed airplanes could sink a ship by dropping bombs on it. At the time, battleships were considered invincible. He finally got an opportunity to prove his claim and sank the German battleship “Ostfriesland” which was to be scuttled following the war. Nonetheless, the military was unimpressed. Following the war, in peacetime, there was an emphasis on shrinking the military. Even though Mitchell begged for money for research and development, he was ignored. He even urged the military to form a separate branch dedicated to an air service, but was denied. Consequently, American Air Power diminished almost to obscurity. The English, French, Italians, even the Germans had far superior airships than the Americans, and Mitchell made sure the newspapers knew about it.

Knowing Mitchell’s image was growing larger in the press, the military sent him on remote assignments in order to eliminate his exposure in the press. In 1924 he was sent to study military defenses in the Pacific. During this time, he visited Japan and witnessed firsthand how the Japanese were embracing Air Power and realized America was far behind their counterparts. Following his tour he produced an extensive 323 page report on his assessment of American defenses in the Pacific. It was in this prophetic report that he predicted how Japan would attack Pearl Harbor with remarkable accuracy. Even though the military dismissed his report as ridiculous, Mitchell’s predictions would come true 17 years later. Nonetheless, he was buried again by the military.

One year later, in 1925, the Navy dirigible “Shenandoah” was destroyed in a storm in Ohio, with a loss of thirteen lives. Mitchell was outraged as he knew the ship was archaic and denounced the Navy for its “almost treasonable” attitude towards aviation:

“As a patriotic American citizen, I can stand by no longer and see these disgusting performances…at the expense of the lives of our people and the delusion of the American public. We may all make mistakes but the criminal mistakes made by armies and navies, whenever they have been allowed to handle aeronautics, show their incompetence…This, then, is what I have to say on the subject, and I hope that every American will hear.”(1)

Although Mitchell became a hero to the American people for his bold statements, his superiors felt otherwise and court-martialed him for insubordination. Actually, the court-martial was what Mitchell was hoping for as he figured it was the best way to bring attention to the problem and create change. The case garnered a lot of attention in the press, and many notable proponents of Air Power testified on his behalf. In the end though, Mitchell was suspended from the Army for five years. Instead, Mitchell resigned in 1926 and spent the remainder of his life speaking on behalf of Air Power. He would die in 1936 never knowing how accurate his predictions would become in World War II. In 1942, President Roosevelt, recognized Mitchell’s contributions to Air Power by restoring his status and elevating him to the rank of Major General. In 1946, he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, “in recognition of his outstanding pioneer service and foresight in the field of American military aviation”…10 years after his death. Today, this medal bears his likeness on it.

There are some similarities, as well as differences, between Billy Mitchell and today’s impeachment whistle-blower(s). Mitchell was a visionary who used his court-martial to draw public attention to the problems of Air Power. Today’s whistle-blower is not a visionary. He/She/They just stumbled on a problem and reported it. Whereas Mitchell stood and took his medicine as a military officer, thereby garnering the support of the American people, the impeachment whistle-blower(s) hid behind anonymity not wanting to suffer through a career ending court case as Mitchell did.

The big problem with becoming a whistle blower is that it doesn’t pay well. You might earn the admiration of the American people, but you must also face the wrath of the establishment. It takes someone with a lot of character to stand up and report a problem, whether it be in the corporate world or government. The prime difference between Billy Mitchell and today’s whistle-blower(s) is simple: Mitchell stood like a courageous man and took his medicine; the whistle-blower(s) has not. Understand this though, the American Air Power we know today can be directly attributed to the efforts of Billy Mitchell. Had he not spoken up when he did, our air defenses would have been primitive by the start of World War II. Mitchell knew what he was talking about and would not be intimidated by the powers in authority. This leads me to believe today’s impeachment whistle-bower(s) can be intimidated, and perhaps has been threatened by others.

In the end, the president is entitled to face his accuser, whatever his/her/their name is.

Here’s a List of 100 Members of Congress Supporting CAIR

November 11, 2019/in Commentary, Culture War, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Clarion Project

Ahead of the Council of American-Islamic Relations’ 25th Anniversary Gala event last Saturday, the Muslim Brotherhood-linked organization boasted that “120+” members of Congress had sent them letters of support.

We never saw those letters, however, thanks to Clarion reader Viola Rose, we were directed to a list of 100 members of Congress who voiced their support of CAIR in 2018. The list was published by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, along with the letters of support.

You can see the list and the letter by clicking here.

The list includes Democrat presidential candidates Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar. Ninety-seven out of the 100 names on the list were Democrats; three were Republican.

CAIR’s gala event took place November 9, 2019, at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Washington, D.C., and featured Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Islamist activist and sharia-apologist Linda Sarsour.

CAIR describes itself as “America’s largest Islamic civil liberties group,” but in 2007, the U.S. government labeled CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation for financing the Hamas terrorist group.

In November 2014, CAIR was designated as a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates along with a host of other Muslim Brotherhood entities.

CAIR was listed among “individuals/entities who are/were members of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee and/or its organizations.” The Palestine Committee is a secret body set up to advance the Brotherhood/Hamas agenda in the U.S.

The FBI subsequently severed official contacts with the group, saying it “does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner.”

Yet members of Congress – either ignorantly or intentionally — continue to endorse CAIR.

If your congressional representative is on the list, please write to him or her and include the above information on CAIR. Let us know if you get a response by clicking here.

JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN

We would still like to see the 2019 list of the “120+” members of Congress who CAIR claims sent letters of support to them ahead of this gala event.

You can copy and paste our letter below and send it to CAIR by clicking here. (This link takes you to CAIR’s home page. At the bottom of the page, there is a place to write a message. CAIR states its goal is to reply within 24-48 hours.)

Dear CAIR,

You recently claimed that 120+ members of Congress sent letters to you welcoming your upcoming 25th anniversary gala in Washington, D.C.

Can you please send me a list of those Congress people?

Join our campaign to get CAIR to publish the list of “120+” members of Congress who wrote them letters of support. Please write to CAIR and ask them to publish the list and the letters

Please tell us if you get a response by clicking here.

CAIR Is Suing Texas — You’ll Never Believe Why

Are We There Yet?

November 11, 2019/in Commentary, Culture War, Elections, News, Policy, Politics/by Paul R. Hollrah

When my children were still quite young, we regularly spent a week of our annual vacation with our families in St. Louis. Needless to say, the 16-hour drive from our home on the Philadelphia Main Line was a long and tedious experience for our two young sons, who had to share the back seat with their little sister. Invariably, when we had covered only about half the distance between Philadelphia and St. Louis, we began to hear the plaintive question, “Are we there yet?”

What brought that experience rushing back to mind was a July 12, 2016 column by David Brooks of the New York Times, titled, “Are We on the Path to National Ruin?” In his column, Brooks wrote,

“I never really understood how fascism could have come to Europe, but I think I understand better now. You start with some fundamental historical transformation, like the Great Depression or the shift to an information economy. A certain number of people are dispossessed. They lose identity, self-respect and hope.”

“They begin to base their sense of self-worth on their tribe, not their behavior. They become mired in their resentments, spiraling deeper into the addiction of their own victimology. They fall for politicians who lie about the source of their problems and about how they can surmount them. Facts lose their meaning…” Brooks concludes, “Once facts are unmoored, everything else is unmoored, too. People who value humility and kindness in private life abandon those traits when they select leaders in the common sphere. Hardened by a corrosive cynicism, they fall for morally deranged little showmen. And then perhaps there’s a catalyzing event.”

As I read those words I couldn’t help but think that I have never read a more apt or a more devastating description of the Democratic Party, the wretched legacy it has created for itself, and the cancerous impact it has had on our American culture. And what, I asked myself, could be the fearsome “catalyzing event” that Brooks foresaw?

Could it be the impeachment of a Republican president, brought up on spurious charges of having suggested a quid pro quo to the president of a corrupt Eastern European country, while doing nothing more than carrying out his obligation to see to it that the laws of the United States are faithfully enforced, and that former U.S. officials are not allowed to use their positions of power to enrich themselves and/or their family members?

Perhaps Brooks should take a brief holiday from his workplace in New York City and travel out across this great land to where the real American people live. And when he’s traveled a day or two, he should take up temporary residence in a small town where he could commune with the residents in the coffee shops, the cafes, and in the town square. Then, after several days of probing, he might develop some understanding of why those smelly Walmart shoppers, with their guns and their Bibles, were so concerned over the growing fascist influence in their country that they chose to elect a brash, uncouth, and inarticulate billionaire to head their government.

What Brooks foresaw in 2016 is now happening in Washington, DC, planned and implemented by truly evil men and women such as former CIA Director John Brennan, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, and hundreds of other co-conspirators and their socialist/communist fellow travelers.

Writing for The Jewish Voice in their October 30, 2019, edition, Caroline Glick describes the vast transformation that has occurred in the Democrat Party during the past two decades… a transformation that has made us a vastly different country than we were prior to the year 2000. She writes:

“Until 2000, the peaceful transition of power in the wake of elections was a feature of American democracy that everyone took for granted. In 2000, the Democrats shifted. They refused to accept the election results in Florida that gave Bush his victory in the state… and through it, in the Electoral College… until the Supreme Court ruled that the results were legitimate. Even afterwards, many Democrats considered Bush’s victory and his presidency illegitimate.”

As a member of the 2000 U.S. Electoral College, having been elected by Republican leaders in a statewide election, I was very much interested in the outcome of the electoral dilemma created by the extralegal interference of the Democrat-dominated Florida Supreme Court.

As I watched the angry mob of Gore-Lieberman demonstrators as they filled the streets outside the U.S. Supreme Court, demanding that the court allow the recount to proceed, I had just one thought: Did those mindless demonstrators not understand that, when all is said and done, the only thing that stands between us and the barrel of a gun is the U.S. Supreme Court? And when the court ruled in the only way they could… that to recount the votes in only the four most heavily Democrat counties in Florida was a clear violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution… Democrats charged that the Court majority was acting along partisan lines.

However, in the sixteen-year period that followed, the Democrat Party underwent a major radicalization. As Glick describes it,

“The day after the (2016) election, Democrats coined a new term in American politics: ‘resistance.’ Until then, the side that lost a presidential election was the ‘opposition.’ But the Democrats don’t simply ‘oppose’ Trump, they ‘resist’ him.”

Glick continues,

“The distinction is profound. An opponent recognizes the basic legitimacy of the person he opposes. A resister does not. The purpose of the anti-Trump resistance is not to offer an alternative path for governing. It is to nullify Trump’s presidency by, among other things, delegitimizing and dehumanizing Trump, his family, his associates and supporters. The resistance seeks to paralyze Trump’s presidency, to prevent him from wielding the power of office, and (to) oust him from that office as quickly as possible.”

With each new day producing yet another sordid chapter in the seemingly endless saga of Democratic Party criminality… best typified by the countless crimes of Bill and Hillary Clinton… the party that was founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1791 has become a lawless enterprise. Jefferson and Madison could never have visualized the evolution of their party into a criminal conspiracy that consistently attacks constitutional principles and uses fraud, violence, and intimidation in order to win elections and maintain themselves in power. Faced with the alternative of doing what is best for the country or doing what is best for their party, Democrats invariably choose to do what is best for their party.

In terms of ethics and morality, the Democratic Party has been in decline since the day it was founded. As the party of slavery, secession, and segregation, Democrats supported the denial of basic human rights to an entire ethnic minority. Following the Civil War and throughout the entire period of reconstruction, Democrats continued the denial of basic human rights through the enactment of Black Codes and Jim Crow laws.

Then, when the Brown v. Board of Education decision ushered in the civil rights era and Democrats found they could no longer lynch African Americans and white Republicans with impunity, they turned their attention to such things as plundering the rich, dumbing-down our children, murdering post-partum infants, desecrating the American flag, and promoting marriage between same-sex partners. And when delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention booed a color guard of Eagle Scouts carrying the American flag, it was clear that they had sunk to an all-time low.

So, what is it that has caused Democrats to become so loathsome that they would seek to remove a sitting president by engaging in bold-faced lies and outright deception, denying the president and his Republican supporters the ability to cross examine his accusers and to subpoena their own witnesses… the most basic legal rights available in any court in the land?

The answer lies in the results of an October 2019 Pew Research survey which tells us that, in 2009, when Barack Obama entered the White House, 68% of white Democrats described themselves as Christians, 24% claimed no religious affiliation, and 7% claimed to be members of other religious groups. However, just ten years later, in 2019, after nearly a decade-long Muslim-friendly administration in the White House, only 47% of Democrats call themselves Christians, 42% claim no religious affiliation, and 10% are members of other religions. Conversely, the same survey showed significantly different numbers among Republicans. According to the Pew survey, 81% of white Republicans now describe themselves as Christians, 14% are unaffiliated, and just 4% are affiliated with non-Christian religious groups.

As Patrick Henry once said,

“Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” (A.K.A. Conservatism)

So, when David Brooks asks, rhetorically, “Are we on the path to national ruin,” the answer is an unequivocal “yes.” But Brooks goes on to suggest that this long and painful decline is followed by a “catalyzing event.” Democrats have attempted to destroy Donald Trump by financing the preparation of a dossier of falsehoods; they’ve attempted to link his electoral success to a false charge of “Russian collusion;” and they’ve twisted a totally appropriate conversation with a foreign leader into grounds for impeachment. In doing so, they have developed a level of hatred and discord among the American people such as we’ve not experienced since the Civil War. Has fascism finally come to full bloom in America? Could it be that history will judge the unjustified impeachment of Donald Trump to be the American version of Kristallnacht? Occurring as it is on the 81st anniversary of Germany’s descent into fascism, is it too far-fetched to ask, “Are we there yet?” And are the tyrants hard at work forging our chains?

The Reason Democrats will Lose Big in 2020 — They Can’t let go of Obama and his Legacy

November 10, 2019/in Commentary, Elections, News, Policy, Politics/by Dr. Rich Swier

“I will stand with them [Muslims] should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” – Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope [pg. 261]

“If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon.” – Barack Obama, May 1, 2011.

Democrats are stuck in the Obama legacy political fantasy. They want Obama back as president. They are desperate to return to the Obama glory years.

We are reminded of an expression used of someone who is too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole, “can’t see the forest through the trees.”

It was because of the Obama legacy that Donald J. Trump won the White House in 2016. Hillary Clinton was for all practical purposes Obama 2.0. She was destined to win according to all the media polls. She could not lose because she was going to carry the Obama torch into the future. Hillary was the embodiment of the Obama legacy. The Democrats are still in shock at the awe of Trump’s win.

Question: How do we know that the Democrats yearn for Obama?

Here are two recent examples:

On November 8th, 2019 the Democratic Majority: HMP PAC sent out an email titled …finally good news! (re: President Obama) stating:

Obama took one look at all the damage Trump has done and decided to come out of retirement.

We’re SO happy!!

Then … The BOLD Democrats PAC, the grassroots arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, sent out an email on November 9th, 2019 titled Barack Obama is BEGGING (but no one is donating!!). In the email they state:

Barack Obama just DEMANDED Democrats step up.

But when we BEGGED for donations to take Trump down: NOTHING!

Please please — don’t abandon Obama when he needs you the most. Can we count on you for $5?

The Democrats are stuck in a world where they literally believe that Obama is still their president.

Obama’s Legacy Fantasy

Real Clear Politics published a June 3rd, 2019 article titled Joan Walsh: “For Our Allies, Barack Obama Is Still The President”; They Don’t Want To Acknowledge Trump by Ian Schwartz. Schwartz wrote:

CNN political commentator Joan Walsh said former President Obama is going to be our president until the United States has a “normal one” that is not Donald Trump. Walsh said allies of the U.S. “Want to wake up from this nightmare” and don’t “want to acknowledge the real president.”

“This is in Toronto, not in Oakland,” Walsh said about the standing ovation the former president received Sunday night at an NBA Finals game. “For our allies, Barack Obama is still the president. And they are just waiting for us — they want to wake up from this nightmare, they’re waiting for us to wake up from this nightmare and they don’t want to acknowledge the real president.” [Emphasis added]

Read more.

What CNN and Democrats want is to return to the Obama legacy. Each of the current candidates for the Democratic Party nomination has touted one or more of the following legacies of the Obama administration:

Obamacare is now Medicare for All
A return to the climate change Paris Accord. Based on the fantasy that the world will end in 10 years + or -, if nothing is done.
Weakening the Second Amendment. Every school shooting leads to calls for more gun control.
Increased spending for every social program imaginable including providing free healthcare, schooling, drivers licences and voting rights to illegal aliens.
Fully embracing the LGBTQ agenda at the expense of religious liberty.
Appointing liberal judges to federal courts that are in the image of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
Population control via abortion in order to save the planet from over population.
Giving certain categories of people more rights than other. These special classes include: blacks, illegal aliens and homosexuals.
Reinstate the Iran Nuclear Deal.
Provide free stuff for certain people at the expense of the working class, taxpaying Americans. Remember the Obamaphone?
Embrace Islam over other religious beliefs.

Trump is not President of the World!

President Trump has repeatedly said that he is the President of the United States and not president of the world.

Remember when Barack Obama said, “There’s not a liberal America and a conservative America – there’s the United States of America.”

Sounds Trumpesque, doesn’t it.

One wonders what the long term effects of constant personal intimidation by protected groups are to Swedish police. Its likely that (similar to politics) fewer and fewer decent people will sign up. As the culture drills down to politics and then to policing, often skipping legislation altogether, so policing becomes both hopeless and thankless.

It is almost like the plan is to dismantle centuries of jurisprudence and rule of law based on individual rights and property rights and replace all enforcement with compliant ‘A Clockwork Orange’ type Dims, and eventually non-locals who have no allegiance to our history or ways of thinking. Almost like that.

Mangling The Truth Of The Berlin Wall To Attack the Border Wall

November 9, 2019/in Commentary, Elections, Policy, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Rod Thomson

The 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is November 9th, and on cue the American left is hard at work distorting and lying about history, communism and, of course, walls. Particularly walls.

At New College of Florida, the Honors College for the Florida university system and a hotbed of far left ideas and activism, students have been building a replica of a segment of the Berlin Wall on campus. Today, they are taking sledgehammers to it — as was done 30 years ago. This seems like a perfect opportunity to talk about communism, dictatorships, and freedoms in the West.

After all, as Hope Harrison, George Washington University associate professor of history and international affairs, pointed out during the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall: “The wall symbolized the lack of freedom under communism. It symbolized the Cold War and divide between the communist Soviet bloc and the western democratic, capitalist bloc.”

But that’s apparently not exactly the first thing it symbolizes for New College.

According to local media reports,

“The project was organized by professor Lauren Hansen, who is currently teaching a course called The Berlin Wall in German Literature and Film. In January, Hansen led an independent study about the portrayal of the Berlin Wall in German literature, and the idea for the replica wall was created by her small group of students. While other universities have created replica walls in the past, New College students also reenacted historical speeches, presented film screenings, and held graffiti sessions and poster presentation sessions.”

So far, so good. But wait.

“Creating the wall also turned into a timely project about national and international experiences of separating groups of people, cities and countries, notes Hansen.”

So this immediately equates American conservatives and President Trump who advocate securing our southern border for fundamental reasons of national sovereignty and safety of the American people with the East German communists who sought to imprison their people — when the history of American political movements actually puts the left directly in line with the communists. Ask Sen. Bernie Sanders who honeymooned in the Soviet Union.

Further, Hansen said of the wall replica:

“It has become a place where students and faculty from the entire university can come to discuss borders and the divisiveness we encounter today in the U.S. and other parts of the world.”

This is the sleight of hand that has been going on for some time now, claiming all walls are bad — but really only meaning Trump’s border wall is bad. What is obvious to people who are not pants-on-fire hypocrites or astonishingly foolish and ignorant, is that different walls have different purposes.

No sane person argues that walls around prisons are bad for dividing murderers and rapists from the rest of the population. Wealthy leftists don’t argue that walls around their estates are bad for keeping out criminals, vandals and just sight-seers.

We have “walls” around movie theaters, sporting events, Disney World and so on. Why? To divide those who have legal status to be inside (via following the rules and paying for admission) from those who do not have legal status who must remain outside. Movie stars who take advantage of the arrangement, and have walls around their own mansions, still abhor a border wall as divisive and racist. Ditto for many athletes.

Germany was formally divided in 1949 and the wall went up in 1961. The East German communist party never had popular support, distrusted its citizens and ruled with an iron fist. Refugees left East Germany for economic and political reasons, causing a brain drain. In the intervening years, more than 3 million East Germans “voted with their feet” by moving to West Germany.

To equate that wall to our border wall would have meant the West Germans would have put up the Berlin Wall to keep the East Germans out. But it was the East Germans who did so, to stem the flow out of East Berlin. There’s a fundamental difference between a wall that locks people in like a prison wall and the Berlin Wall, and a wall that protects and establishes legal borders, such as movie theaters, sporting events, Disney and national borders.

The Berlin Wall was 12 feet tall, more than 100 miles long and doubled up in many areas to create a dead man’s zone in between of about 60 feet where guards shot and killed those trying to escape to the West. Nobody tried to escape to the East.

Just down the road from New College, is the Asolo Repertory Theater, where “The Sound of Music” is being reimagined. Guess how?

“I was inspired by this lesson in the script, and how you can’t hide behind walls,” said Josh Rhodes, director and choreographer. You see, the lead character in the Sound of Music used his wealth to try to hide behind “walls” and ignore the Nazi threat until the Anchluss made that impossible.

So Rhodes said he felt the time was right for the play’s “theme of fear” to take a prominent role. “There’s a certain harshness in our society right now,” he says, “and I think the play asks us to soften our hearts and be kind.”

This is hardly a crazy or terrible take — and in a different context could be applauded. But unfortunately it flows in line with the purposeful misrepresentation of walls as all of a kind. Walls bad. Berlin Wall bad. Walls in our heart bad. Walls between people bad. Trump wall bad.

Expect a lot of this wall treatment in the coming days.

Kamala Harris Proposes Dropping Kids Off At School When They Turn 5 And Picking Them Back Up When They Turn 30

November 8, 2019/in Commentary, Education, Satire/by The Babylon Bee

U.S.—Kamala Harris has unveiled her latest amazing policy proposal: having parents drop their kids off at government schools when they turn 5 and not picking them up until they turn 30.

The proposal would have parents bid goodbye to their children when they drop them off at kindergarten and not see them again until they graduate with a postgraduate degree or at least have backpacked in Europe for a few years after high school.

“Trust us—we’ll take great care of your kids for those 25 years,” she said at a campaign stop Wednesday. “When has the government teaching your children ever gone wrong?”

One person tried to answer but was arrested. “Nobody has any objections? That’s what I thought,” Harris said.

Harris believes the proposal will help working mothers not have to worry about their kids for several decades, during their most formative years when their “malleable little minds” can be influenced. Harris believes the system would help kids get indoctrinated at a much faster rate than today’s school system.

“Today, we only get, like, 6 or 7 hours with your kids,” he said. “It’s far too little time to really turn them into good communists. We need at least 24 hours a day to get the desired results.”

Harris says the proposal is optional, though if you choose not to participate, your home may be subject to a no-knock raid in which you will likely get shot in the face.

On the Film ‘Harriet’ — Both Harriet Tubman and Kayne West have left the plantation [+Videos]

November 8, 2019/in Commentary, Culture War, News, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Dr. Rich Swier

“If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there’s shouting after you, keep going. Don’t ever stop. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.” – Harriet Tubman

I went to see the Focus Features film “Harriet” a biopic about the life of Harriet Tubman (played by Cynthia Erivo). Harriet was born and grew up as a slave in Dorchester County, Maryland. Marry Pattison Brodess was the woman who originally owned Harriet Tubman and her parents, Ben Ross and Harriet Green.

Harriet escaped from the Brodess plantation in 1849 by travelling 100 miles on foot to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she found freedom.

In her passion for God and freedom, Harriet became the most well known “conductor” in the underground railroad that helped black slaves escape from their plantations. Harriet is credited with freeing 1,000 slaves. Here is the trailer:

Fast forward 170 years from 1849 to 2019

What struck me while watching the story of Harriet Tubman was that this year another black has left a plantation that exists today. Just as Harriet did not want to be told what to do, did not want to have anyone tell her what she can and cannot do, so to is there another who is following in Harriet’s footsteps. His name is Kayne West.

Kayne West is one of the most influential black rappers in the 21st century. He lived a rapper’s life, trapped in a plantation of his own making. In 2019 Kayne West became a born again Christian and produced a hit new album “Jesus is King.”

In the film Harriet repeatedly says God, and His Son Jesus, is what leads her to do the extraordinary things that she did.

In the video below Kayne West explains that Values Matter. Race Doesn’t.

Leaving The New Plantation

Kayne, much like Harriet, has left the plantation of victimhood and race. He now embraces the word of God and those Christian values that make all men equal in His eyes.

Kayne West understands that it was Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party that won the Civil war, which freed the slaves. Now it is time to help free the slaves from the political plantations of victimhood and race. As Harriet Tubman said it’s time to “free my people.” While Harriet freed nearly 1,000 slaves, Kayne West has the power to free a million slaves from victimhood. As Harriet Tubman said,

I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.

According to the film the last words Harriet Tubman said, as she was dying of pneumonia, were from the book of Mathew, “I go away to prepare a place for you, and where I am ye may be also.”

Bohemian Misery, Part 1

November 8, 2019/in Commentary, Culture War, Healthcare, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Mischa Popoff

Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. – Hebrews 12:1

It was 1975 and homosexuality was barely a movement, still in the shadows, even in the “progressive” rock-music biz. Two years hence, Freddie Mercury would sing the prideful lyrics to “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions,” arguably his band’s most-overtly pro-homosexual songs. But it would be decades before fans clued on to Freddie’s proclivities. In a moment of spiritual clarity, he penned his band’s biggest hit, his autobiographical “Bohemian Rhapsody,” a single with the highest-ever production cost at the time with all of its overdubbed, operatic harmonies. Mercury never explained what Queen’s songs were about, but there’s compelling evidence that between 1975 and 1977 he underwent a transformation based on the
poor choices he made.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is the conflicted prequel to later pro-homosexual songs by Queen, providing insight into Mercury’s internal torment. Tortured by his vices, struggling with sin, knowing it’s sin… and then, tragically, finally, and terminally, giving in, his lyrics take us from his first homosexual encounter, all the way, prophetically, to his untimely death.

We begin in the second part of the song where Mercury describes himself in the third person as an impressionable youth. You’d think he was talking about someone else: “I see a little silhouetto of a man.” But no, that’s just part of the deception. The whole chronology is inverted, you see, to throw his heterosexual fans off as he looks back to when he was young and innocent, as reflected in the insouciant nature of the accompaniment.

As a silhouette he’s just a cute young lad, basic and featureless, lacking character, playing the role of a boastful but cowardly, sixteenth-century commedia dell’arte clown, a “Scaramouche,” as part of some sort of theater group, the perfect quarry for an older homosexual assailant.

Indeed, a man’s voice calls to him, “Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?” a sexually enticing dance in triple time. And, quicker than you can say “statutory rape,” Mercury finds himself subjected to a “Thunderbolt and lightning.” For a mere child inexperienced in the abject violence of sodomy, it is, he confesses, “Very, very frightening [to] me!”

Mercury and his band chant back-and-forth, “(Galileo) Galileo. (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro Magnifico-o-o-o-o.” And just who, pray tell, is this Galileo character? I’m glad you ask. It is none other than Jesus Christ, that’s who. Having just been sodomized, Mercury is crying out to be rescued from his guilt and spiritual torment, to say nothing of the physical pain common to ALL young boys when they are first violated by older men.

Wait just a minute here, I hear someone object… Jesus is Galileo? Yes. You see, Mercury couldn’t mention Jesus by name in a pop song without totally destroying his cred, so he refers to Him obliquely, via Luke 23:5–7, the point in Christ’s Passion where Pilate realized Jesus was a Galilean, and therefore (he presumed) not his problem, passing Him to Herod Antipas who had jurisdiction over the region of Galilee. So yes, Freddie Mercury, who would become rock ‘n roll’s most flamboyant, “out” homosexual, cried out to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… yes, his Lord and Savior, at least at that juncture. And he did it for all the world to hear. Sadly, no one listened. We all heard the lyrics, sure, but were all too mesmerized by the music to listen to the message.

Lest you doubt Mercury’s victimhood status, go to the next verse where he laments, “I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me.” Precisely the type of low self-esteem that monstrous homosexual men prey upon. The band confirms this when they respond: “He’s just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity.” And with that line, it really couldn’t be more clear: even Mercury knows homosexual men are monstrous, or he wouldn’t have chosen that word.

Of crucial importance here, while the lyrics for “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions” would be written by someone else just two years later, “Bohemian Rhapsody” comes to us exclusively from Freddie’s heart and soul, every last word of it. So yes, he thought homosexuals were monstrous. His words, not mine, dear reader.

Deflowered, Mercury is torn. “Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?” Of crucial importance here, it’s not his assailant to whom he’s appealing. It’s someone far more sinister, as you’ll soon see.

He cries out to God Himself to deliver him, shouting “Bismillah!” Arabic for In the name of God, harkening to his family’s roots in pre-Christian Zoroastrianism, a religion that opposes homosexuality, believing it a form of demon worship, an unforgivable offence necessitating immediate honor killing.

But, alas, the four-part harmonious response is, “No, we will not let you go.” It goes back and forth with Mercury’s band members joining him in shouting for this evil entity to “Let him go!” and Mercury, for his part, continuing to cry out to God, pleading to be “let go” from the evil that has him in its grip, until… finally… he turns his back on his family, his religion, and his past…and Freddie Mercury switches sides.

This is the turning point for many young men, especially now in an inverted culture that celebrates such inherently violent sexual activity, applauding these victims, urging that they stop being victims and join the dark side instead. They become, in every sense of the words, born again. Mercury now sings “Never, never, never, never let me go!” no longer yearning to be “let go.” It’s unmistakable; he has given in. His basest desires will henceforth be his “rhapsody,” his life’s passion in other words, right here in the physical world.

Like Macbeth, throwing away his afterlife in exchange for immediate gratification “here upon this bank and shoal of time,” as Shakespeare put it, Mercury has made the irrevocable decision to “jump,” to skip in other words “the life to come.” (Shakespeare, Macbeth, I, vii, 6–7) It’s as if he’s skipping a luncheon engagement. No big deal. He’s got more important things to attend to. Like having sex with boys.

And what, you ask, is this evil he had been pleading against until this point? He cries out in shock and surprise, realizing the normal world of love is now but a fast-fading memory: “Oh, mama mia, mama mia, Mama mia, let me go!” Yes, like all sexual deviants, he now wants his own mother to let him go because he’s no longer concerned with the evil he wanted to be freed from just a few lines earlier. And with his connection to his own mother extenuated to the breaking point, he finally identifies the sinister character involved in his spiritual decimation, declaring that “Beelzebub,” yes, that Beelzebub, “has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me,” as the music climaxes.

This is the “we” that had been foreshadowed above when his band sang “we will not let you go.”

It’s Satan and his demons. And guess what? Mercury’s fine with this, and so, apparently, are his band mates, along with everyone who worked behind the scenes with Queen. Everyone.

Stay tuned for the breakdown of the second part of this tragic song that has now deluded two generations of youth in Christendom. The story gets a lot better… worse actually, as Mercury’s health deteriorates and he mourns “at the last,” knowing full-well what awaits him, “when thy flesh and thy body are consumed.” (Proverbs 5:11)

“Bohemian Rhapsody” was never meant to be the anthem for the gay movement, rather a warning against disobedience. Every last word of it, straight from Freddie’s pen.

Watergate 2.0: The KGB’s Global Spy Ring

November 8, 2019/in Commentary, Elections, News, Policy, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Simona Pipko

The coup d’état against Trump was orchestrated years ago by the Dems’ criminal cabal, that is why the impeachment process is strictly partisan and has outraged a lot of people. It is tearing apart our already divided country and split it further by driving and agitating public opinion against Trump. Americans are a very fair people, they have a sense of Justice, they are brought up by a unique political system and they instinctively feel unfairness. The minority whip Rep. Steve Scalise called impeachment 37 Days of a Soviet-Style Impeachment Proceeding. He is right and I will try to introduce the messenger from the Soviet Union running the anti-Trump campaign—America’s Socialist mafia.

I am not an American lawyer, but a former Soviet attorney, and I know Socialism very well–I lived half of my life under a Socialist regime [USSR] and I know the Socialist mafia. Now in America, I’ve been writing about Socialism and in particular about Bill Clinton for thirty years. (Revelation August 26, 2018.) I found plenty of Socialist methods and tricks being implemented in America, especially by the FBI and our Intel. Schiff’s fabrication is reminiscent of the former head of the KGB in the Soviet Union, Lavrentiy Beria’s, famous boast, “You bring me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” Knowing well the Soviet abusive power of the KGB, I was disturbed seeing similar methods and tricks in America, particularly by the current Anti-Trump cabal, America’s Socialist mafia. I am using a term KGB meaning the entirety of Russian Intelligence Services.

The Dems’ Socialist mafia has spent the last three years trying to create a path to impeachment against Donald Trump–they failed. I did not know Robert Mueller and I did not touch his credibility in my writing. Then I saw and listened to the Mueller-Hearing and I was stunned—there was not a smell of that major postulate in American jurisprudence: the presumption of innocence, yet $40 million had been wasted. His performance indicated some level of a lack of mental ability and that fact told me that the entire ordeal could’ve been used by the KGB—Mental Health has always been targeted by the agency; I have given several examples of it in my books and columns. Read here my column The KGB: A Global Terrorist Agency, March 11, 2018.

Moreover, Mr. Mueller was not familiar with elementary parts of his own report—he acted as if he did not even know of Fusion GPS. It wasn’t him writing the report–the carefully orchestrated script exposed that fact. Maybe American Liberty Report is right” If Mueller Didn’t Write the Report, That Means Someone from His Team of Former Clinton Lawyer FBI Agents Did. And that idea pointed me again to the Clinton mafia…Perhaps Clinton’s attack dog Andrew Weismann and Clinton Foundation attorney Jeannie Rhee ran the actual anti-Trump investigation. That put together Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and the answer of who wrote the carefully orchestrated script: America’s Socialist mafia, Vladimir Putin and his KGB… President Trump presents an existential threat to them all…

Socialist mafia have orchestrated the entire impeachment inquiry to allow them to manipulate everything to fit their narrative. This is the Russia collusion hoax all over again. I suspected that scenario when I saw the Trump/Dossier in 2017, it was the KGB Falshivka—a fraud and the major events coordinated by the KGB were expected to cover up Treason committed by the Clinton’s and Obama’s administrations. Three years of the Dems’ preparation led to the partisan impeachment of Trump. Due to the Treason committed by the Dems our Constitutional Republic was very close to being destroyed by a foreign power. This power infiltrated every corner of our society, government, courts, culture, business, sport, and education, all cells of American body and soul to corrupt them from within. And now the sanctimonious Traitors-Dems are playing the role of national security’s defenders??? What a scam America! What a shame!

The Republican Party has hibernated for two decades, not defending the morality of capitalism and allowing Bernie “Trojan Horse” Sanders to make legitimate that fraudulent ideology of Socialism to fool and deceive America. What is the difference between Bernie and Adam Schiff?—they are lying identically in the best traditions of Stalin’s PC. Read here my column October 31, 2019, Political Correctness and the Socialist Revolution in America. Now a member of the Socialist mafia Rep. Omar has joined Bernie’s rally and declared “to end Western Imperialism.” WOW!—this is a familiar to me statement, I’ve heard it from the Soviet apparatchiks half of my life in the Soviet Union!!! Friends, pay attention to the “Squad,” they are the members of the American Congress! We are on the threshold of Socialist Revolution; and run by a Communist, Tom Perez America’s Socialist mafia now plan to complete it after the 2020 election…

From the first day of Obama’s presidency the war against the American Republic began to transform our country to a Socialist Administrative State. Socialist-Obama did not hide his real agenda, openly calling for this transformation. And he began fighting the unique political system left to us by our Founding Father. That is the reason Obama made the CIA Director a man, who voted in the previous election for a Communist candidate—John Brennon. The brain-washing war on America’s mind and soul was started by Socialist-Obama, lying constantly, using Stalinist Political Correctness and his holdovers—the train-engine of the coup d’état against Trump has been moving ahead to Watergate 2.0

Yes, it is Watergate 2.0, because both Watergate 1.0 and Watergate 2.0 have been manufactured by the same American Socialist mafia in cahoots with the KGB and our Intel has not gone after them twice. Hence, Soros, (in my opinion a KGB agent) is sponsoring an election in Virginia today! America’s Socialist mafia have the same motivation, the same actors, and they are using the same dirty Soviet methods-tricks. Please read my column The Ideological Battlefield in Washington D.C. May 27, 2018 and especially the rubric: The Face of Stalinist Socialism: A communal Apartment. The column will reveal how many things about fraudulent Socialism you do not know.

There is a brilliant column 50 Years Ago Nixon Routed the Establishment NEWSMAX by Patrick Buchanan, 01 November 2019. Yet, I know more about our enemy than Patrick, he wasn’t in Moscow in 1959. I was present at the “Kitchen Debate” by Nixon and Khrushchev. The exhibition of American kitchen had achieved such a psychological and emotional effect that it was stronger than a victory of a million man military army and the KGB hated Nixon since that day. I saw that and their revenge came in the 1970s… Alas, neither Republican Party nor the FBI had been informed well: Republicans betrayed President Nixon, who suspected the Soviet interference. I hope, history will find that really tragic story and the KGB’s global spy ring then.

Watergate 2.0 is using the impeachment as a search for cover, to escape the punishment for the crimes committed by the Dems’ leadership–the impeachment is an attempt to deflect from the real scandal. In this case, I believe that John Brennon was assigned by Obama to execute the entire criminal ordeal. I was writing about Brennan for all this years: “Another man has equally damaging information about Brennan: Sean Davis‏ Verified account @seanmdav.

John Brennan was CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia when the Khobar Towers were bombed. He was deputy exec. Director of the agency on 9/11. He was CIA chief of staff during the Iraq WMD debacle. And he ran the CIA when it spied on Congress (which he lied about under oath). My column Warning: Evil is Attacking America, August 22, 2018.

Here is my conclusion, written at the same time and warning you:

America is now experiencing all the traits, aspects and features of the preparations for a Socialist Revolution instigated by the Dems: lies and intimidation, sabotage, fraud, and fabrications, injustice, and violence. This united force will use the 2018 midterm elections to take over the House and begin a Socialist Revolution in America the way it took place in Russia one hundred years ago, when the ideology of Soviet Fascism was born. Clinton and Obama have already started the ball rolling to that end.

Conclusion

First: Anti-Trump “criminal cabal” was manufactured and organized by Russian Intel through Democrats’ leadership and the Clinton Mafia.

Second: Anti-Trump “criminal cabal” consists of two groups: the leadership of the Deep State and the leadership of the Clinton Mafia. Today, Rod J. Rosenstein of the DOJ the connective link of the two groups.

Third: Anti-Trump “criminal cabal” is run by three individuals: Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Vladimir Putin. These three have been working together for decades…

Fourth: Investigation of this huge case of international espionage and treason requires deep knowledge of Russia and its Intel. The current FBI Director, Christopher Wray did not read my books, he doesn’t know that it took Stalin twenty-nine years to create and establish the Chinese Communist State. The structure, agenda, and ideology were identical in Russia and China. The two National Intelligence Agencies executed the same strategy, tactics, methods, and tricks, working as a hand and glove. Failed American Intelligence, August 1, 2018. I can repeat everything written above today in November 2019.

My fellow Americans!

If you still don’t know what Party is destabilizing and dividing America, please, read this headline: Division In America Over Impeachment Worse Than Nixon: 87 % Of Democrats Want To Impeach, 92 % Republicans Don’t Flag & Cross, November 5, 2019. Meanwhile, the Dems’ candidates are campaigning for the 2020 election and U.S. presidency, several of them are sponsored by the KGB and George Soros.

My God! Help us to prevent another civil war in America!

The Left Doesn’t Really Believe ‘No One Is Above the Law’ by Rep. Andy Biggs

November 8, 2019/in Commentary, Courts & Law, Elections, Policy, Politics/by The Daily Signal

There is a two-tiered system of justice in America, and it isn’t necessarily defined by rich versus poor, or on racial grounds.

Rather, if you’re a Democrat favorite of the deep-state bureaucrats, you will be treated favorably. If you’re a Republican who supports President Donald Trump, or if you’re Trump himself, you will be routed by the institutions of the left.

The inconsistencies of Nancy Pelosi and her followers demonstrate this completely.

“No one is above the law,” the House speaker told late-night TV host Stephen Colbert last week. She said the same thing back in September. Earlier in the year, she punctuated her declaration by saying, “No one is above the law, especially the president of the United States.”

The demand for socialism is on the rise from young Americans today. But is socialism even morally sound? Find out more now >>

She seems to have made no exceptions in her declarative statements. But she is not alone in the wide assortment of those attempting to remove Trump via a procedural coup.

Pelosi is joined by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who said in December of 2018, “No one is above the law, not even the president of the United States.”

Perennial presidential hopeful and unindicted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tweeted in June, “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the president is not above the law.”

Yet, as columnist Marc Thiessen wrote in July, Democrats don’t really believe that.

Take illegal immigration, the prime example of Democrats blatantly disregarding the law with no consequences.

If you are an illegal alien in the United States, Democrats want to give you special treatment. Your first time illegally in the country is a misdemeanor, and an illegal reentry after removal is a felony.

But Democrats don’t think the law applies to illegal aliens. They coddle and receive them with open arms while berating law enforcement officials charged with enforcing the laws passed on a bipartisan basis.

Democrat-run sanctuary cities violate the rule of law daily by releasing criminals into our nation, ignoring when there is a “do not release” instruction from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Democrats want to eliminate our immigration enforcement agencies.

For the left, illegal aliens are above the law.

For Democrats, a politician from their own party—like Clinton, who was illegally storing classified information on a private server and who destroyed the evidence, or Joe Biden, who extorted the removal of a Ukrainian official who was investigating corruption that might have implicated his son—is above the law. But only if that person is a liberal.

If a former FBI director takes classified documents to his house or leaks information in order to manipulate the start of a special investigation of Trump, he’ll be in the clear if his intention is to help leftists and to undermine Republicans.

A Republican doing the same would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

And, if you are a leftist in the deep state who is exposed as a liar and a perjurer, don’t be surprised if you get a gig on CNN as a commentator who regularly blasts the president and his supporters.

And, if a Democrat tells a lie for long enough—for instance, “No one is above the law”—you can be sure leftists and some of their media allies will continue it and perpetuate it, no matter how many times they prove they’re holding to a double standard.

The Stethoscope Is Not Just a Prop

November 7, 2019/in Commentary, Healthcare, Policy, Politics, Regulation/by Dr. Jane Orient

Stock photos of “healthcare workers” who attend patients—physicians are no longer distinguishable—usually feature a stethoscope draped around the neck.

But some, such as cardiologist Eric Topol, consider the stethoscope obsolete, nothing more than a pair of “rubber tubes.”

The most important part of the stethoscope is the part between the ears. But some think that will be replaced by artificial intelligence, and the rubber tubes by sophisticated electronic gizmos costing at least ten times as much as the humble stethoscope.

High tech is wonderful and increasingly capable, but if the stethoscope is dying, so is the art of clinical medicine.

The proper use of the stethoscope requires the doctor to touch, listen to the patient, and spend some time with a living person, not a computer. Patient and physician must cooperate: “Stop breathing,” “Take a big deep breath,” “Lean forward,” and so on.

It may be true, as Dr. James Thomas said, that graduates in internal medicine and emergency medicine miss as many as half of murmurs using a stethoscope. There are several reasons for this. One is not taking enough time to listen in a quiet room, and failing to perform the special maneuvers required to bring out an otherwise inaudible murmur (lean forward and exhale fully, turn onto your left side, squat then stand up, etc.).

The other is inadequate training. There are excellent recordings of heart sounds and murmurs, which of course would take time away from the time-devouring electronic medical record or “systems-based” medicine. And a recording is not the same thing as a live patient. Much of today’s teaching in physical diagnosis may be by “patient instructors”—paid actors pretending to be patients, who are evaluating the students as the students examine them. Rounds may be in a conference room, focused on the electronic record, instead of at the bedside.

In the old days, all the members of the team got to examine a real patient who had an interesting finding, with the patient’s permission and under the supervision of an attending physician. It seemed to me that patients usually enjoyed being the center of attention and the star of the show, and hearing the professor discuss their case. We learned how to help patients to sit up, and about hairy chests, layers of extra insulation, noisy lung sounds, shortness of breath, and other impediments to an easy examination.

The stethoscope is not just for heart murmurs. It’s for finding subtleties in careful, slow measurement of the blood pressure. It’s for extra or abnormal heart sounds. One can sometimes hear evidence of vascular problems inside the skull, or in the arteries supplying the brain, kidneys, or limbs. Or signs of intestinal obstruction. One can check to make sure a breathing tube is in the right place.

I don’t know of any bedside technologic wonders for examining the lungs. The stethoscope can detect sensitive signs of heart failure, pneumonia, fluid in the chest, collapsed lung, or airway obstruction. One can listen frequently to monitor changes in the patient’s status—much more efficiently than bringing the portable x-ray machine around.

The stethoscope works even when the power is off, the batteries are dead, the computer is down, or some circuit in the ultrasound device is malfunctioning. It works in facilities too poor to have the latest technology, or with patients who can’t afford to pay for a more expensive examination.

The stethoscope has tremendous capabilities in trained hands. Patients might want to evaluate whether they have a clinician who knows how to use it or is just carrying around a prop or status symbol. If you have symptoms suggestive of a heart or lung problem, does the doctor listen to all the lung fields—upper, mid, and lower, front and back? To at least four places for heart sounds? Are you asked to cough, say “e,” whisper something, take deep breaths or slow quiet ones, or do other maneuvers if something in the history or examination suggests a possible problem? Is the tv off, and are visitors asked to be quiet?

Everybody including doctors loves fancy technology. But before we toss out the old reliable tools, backed by two centuries of experience, how about some serious comparative studies like those the proponents of evidence-based medicine constantly demand?

Archaeologists Discover AR-15 Cain Used To Kill Abel

November 7, 2019/in Commentary, Satire/by The Babylon Bee

IRAQ—Archaeologists working near the ancient Fertile Crescent made a stunning discovery Friday morning: the AR-15 Cain used to kill Abel as recorded in the Bible.

Scholars have long suspected Cain could not have committed history’s first murder without access to some kind of assault weapon since guns are the root of all violence. Now, there’s proof, in the form of Cain’s personal, heavily customized AR-15.

“Cain was planning on using a rock, but the area was designated as a rock-free zone,” said one leading scholar at the dig site. “So of course, he had to use the next best thing: an AR-15.”

“If only there were sensible gun control laws, humanity’s first-ever homicide could have been avoided.” Researchers believe Cain bought the gun illegally, however, utilizing a little-known gun show loophole.

Several spent shell casings were discovered nearby. The gun had scary features like a handle, a stock, a barrel, and an “eye-looky thingy,” according to media firearm experts at the site. All of these features made the murder “triple bad,” since if it had just looked like a wooden hunting rifle, it would not be as scary.

At publishing time, scholars had also discovered a ticket stub to the Joker movie nearby, suggesting Cain was a white male incel influenced by Joaquin Phoenix’s disturbing performance.
