Failed American Intelligence

Offence is the best defense—this was the slogan and policy of the Soviet apparatchiks taught by Stalin. Never admit the crime committed, but accuse the opposition in that exact crime. We, the former Soviet citizens, knew the policy very well watching it for many years. This policy helped the Soviet system to survive for a hundred years, and under Putin’s leadership the current apparatchiks are flourishing in Russia today. Yes, nothing substantial has changed in Russia. The KGB is still running the country with a crony capitalism instead of failed socialism. That’s it. The agenda is still the same—One World Government Under Kremlin’s rule and for Putin to be a President of the world…

The Democrat Party is the No. 1 Enemy of America

The weeks after the Helsinki Trump/Putin Summit were full of Trump criticism, yet I decided not to participate in the hysteria but wait. Then I saw a vocal Trump critic, Brennon, tweet and it became clear to me: the former CIA Director was manipulating Americans through the politics of fear—a typical policy of the Soviet apparatchiks, a coordinated attack against President Trump, accusing him guilty of treason—offence is the best defense. It was a familiar to me hateful, vicious response of the Soviet apparatchiks guilty of that exact crime, accusing the leader of opposition in treason in the best traditions of Stalinist personal destruction. Judge for yourself:

“Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you?”  11:52 AM – Jul 16, 2018  Addressing Republicans he is taking a position of the Democrats, who are outraged with Trump behavior… Please, pay attention to the hateful and vicious manner of speech—it is not only Soviet tactics; it is also Soviet handwriting and script.

Moreover, the entire Socialist Mafia and media executed the same play-book, warning us a by hundred different voices about the treason committed by President Trump. We have two Socialists: a Trojan Horse Bernie Sanders and a new big mouth Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Both are very well drilled. The collaboration of the media and Socialist mafia doesn’t surprise me—the Soviet media has always promoted the Socialist ideology, it was a requirement of the Soviet Socialist Law. I hope you have already read my column describing Socialist Mafia in America. If not, you can read it now.  I am not alone thinking this way. Listen to a former CIA station Chief Daniel Hoffman:

“A former CIA station chief says that former CIA Director John Brennan “is doing Putin’s bidding” by publicly attacking and speculating about President Donald Trump. In an article at Cipher Brief, a national security website, CIA veteran Daniel Hoffman says that Brennan’s recent remarks play right into Putin’s hands. As a former KGB officer and director of its successor, the FSB, Putin’s weapons of choice for this covert campaign are espionage, and influence operations that target our political differences to weaken and divide us,” writes Hoffman. He argues that Putin “knows what makes our society tick” and understands that “the best way to spoil our democratic process is to link it with a touch of conspiracy, i.e. to the Kremlin.” BRENNAN IS ‘DOING PUTIN’S BIDDING’ WITH ANTI-TRUMP RHETORIC, SAYS FORMER CIA STATION CHIEF, The Daily Caller, Chuck Ross 04/05/2018

I trust this knowledgeable officer, who spent five years working in Moscow. I don’t trust American media and Socialist Mafia that coordinated vicious attacks against President Trump—it is too similar to the brainwashing policy of Soviet fascism—accusing Trump in treason while the crime was committed by another party—offence is the best defense. Perhaps, President Trump made a mistake confusing the DNC hacking and Russian meddling in the 2016 election—it has been his mistake that was exaggerated by the opposition to Pearl Harbor, Christel Night, and 9/11, making Trump the enemy of America. In reality, it is another party, the Democrat Party, which is the No. One enemy of America that collaborated with Russia for decades.

President Trump insisted he has been tough on Russia, describing former President Barack Obama as a “patsy” for the Kremlin. “Obama didn’t do it,” Trump told CNBC in an interview at the White House. “Obama was a patsy for Russia. A total patsy.”  “There’s been no president ever as tough as I have been on Russia.” He said and he is right: his actions and policy are louder than words. I don’t know whether the word “patsy” identifies completely the reality, I’d like to call a spade a spade—Stalin’s Socialism in America, which I named Soviet Fascism, the ideology that the Democrats’ leadership now adhere to.

Do you remember Obama’s open transformation of America’s political system left to us by our Founding Fathers to Socialism? Obamacare was a carbon copy of the socialist medicine implemented to destroy our medical system and create a chaos in the country, if not a total bankruptcy of the American Republic. President Trump is serving our country much better than his predecessor, who with the help of Socialist Mafia was implementing Socialism on our soil by deceiving Americans and marketing a cosmetic version of Socialism to fool you.  Obama is lying in the best traditions of Stalinist Political Correctness, covering up the horror of the real Communism/Socialism, vividly described by myself and Dr. Kengor:

“Too many young Americans are supporting communism. Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, and 25 percent have a positive view of Lenin. One in four Americans believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Josef Stalin. And 69 percent of Millennials would vote for a socialist for president. They ought to know better. Communism is the most dangerous idea in world history, producing dire poverty, repression, and carnage wherever it has been tried. And no wonder—because communism flatly denies morality, human nature, and basic facts. But it’s always going to be different this time.” The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism by Dr. Paul Kengor, 2017.

I agree, it is going to be different this time, because we have President Trump and brave and knowledgeable Republicans like Rep. Davin Nunes, Bob Goodlatte, and other Republicans who are bringing the Truth to the surface. The Truth was buried by Obama in cahoots with the weaponized top of American Intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies, now under investigation. It was buried to cover-up the crime committed by the “criminal cabal” of the Obama admin. When speaking about upcoming November election and the Democrats, Rep .Nunes correctly said: “One-hundred percent, they are putting all their chips on the Republicans losing the House and all these investigations will shut down.” He is right.

As I repeated many times—Knowledge is Power and unfortunately, knowledge of Russia and its Intel is dangerously low among Republicans like Paul Ryan to confront the “criminal cabal” sufficiently and effectively. How does Ryan know that the actions of Rod J. Rosenstein don’t match High Crime & Misdemeanors? I have just the opposite opinion. Paul Ryan undermined the Republicans in the House. They also failed to go on offence and expose the Democrats for what they really are. And now we are dealing with the united forces of the Democrat leadership and Putin’s KGB confronting the Trump administration, President Trump personally, and his entire family. The Democrats are really the enemy of the American Republic, left to us by our Founding Fathers…

Failed American Intelligence

Our Intel had been paralyzed for several decades.  Writing about the destruction of our Intelligence and Security Apparatus for many years, I also repeated those main ideas, giving you a free functioning anti-American Socialist Mafia in the column published in this e-magazine on July 13, 2018, three days before the Trump/Putin press conference in Helsinki.  Russian interference is not a matter of dispute, it has been going on for a hundred years. That is the reason I am focusing on the anti-American Socialist Mafia that has been coordinated by the KGB since 1969. I am writing about that interference for thirty years and I know that the FBI blocked information about my writings for this particular reason to prevent the public to know the Truth. The absence of the Truth benefits only the Russian interest not the American one. And that fact once more confirms the successful KGB’s information-operation currently intact in America…

I completely agree with President Donald Trump and his assessment of the Obama weaponized Intelligence. He said that he respected the intelligence agencies but not the former prominent figures who made their careers by criticizing his presidency and continue defending it by accusing Trump of the exact crime they themselves committed.

“It’s been terrible,” Trump told CBS anchor Jeff Glor, citing the names of former CIA director John Brennan, former director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, Former Director of the National Security Agency Michael Hayden, former FBI director James Comey, as well as prominent FBI agents Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page, and Peter Strzok.

The president responded to a question from Glor about whether or not he felt that former intelligence agents were “out to get him.” Trump said that he had difficulty trusting their judgement, as they stood vehemently against him. Donald Trump: No Confidence in Intelligence Led by Brennan, Clapper, Comey, BritBart, 18 Jul 2018

I was glad that President Trump mentioned the name of Michael Hayden—he is the man responsible for President George W. Bush seeing the soul in Putin’s eyes. Putin’s soul? It doesn’t exist. What a shame for the Intel! Yet, it is important to preserve the history of the shame to be able to learn from it.  Unfortunately, not only Intel was suffering a lack of knowledge pertaining to Russia. Look at the Senate Democrats, some of them remind me the Soviet “gorlopans,” people who have big mouths and little grey matter. Listening to Senators Warren, Gillibrand, and Blumenthal, I wonder how they got to the US. Senate, what do they know about Russia? I know how Mark Warner did it, skillfully crafted the similarity of his name to the well-known former Republican Senator John Warner, a knowledgeable and smart Senator. Socialists are inextricably connected to Fraud.

The other Soviet “gorlopan,” who defends Obama’s administration is New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. She was fooling you for many years in New York. When Gillibrand had to face a more conservative electorate, she claimed she opposed amnesty for illegal immigrants and held an A+ rating from the establishment gun group, the National Rifle Association. But now she has declared that the first thing Democrats should do if they take back Congress is abolish ICE. Do you remember the agenda of Soviet Socialism, I named Soviet fascism—destruction of the American Republic. Abolishing ICE is a direct road to achieving that. Please remember: all Socialists are deceiving you to have your votes, they are all inextricably connected to Fraud. Read my columns and books, educate yourself about Socialism. Alan West counted seventy Socialist in our Congress, I believe there are more than that.

There are Socialists in the House: Keith Ellison, a Muslim Representative from Minnesota and Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee, chastised Amazon for allowing “hateful merchandise” to be sold on its website. Though he specified concerns about “neo-nazis and white nationalist writers,” his opening paragraph referring to SPLC-designated “hate groups” should be cause for alarm. “The second in command of the Democratic National Committee wants Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to allow the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify “hate speech!” Ellison boldly endorses the SPLC as a “reliable, unbiased arbiter of what is and isn’t a hate group.” However, the SPLC is being challenged in court for tagging groups with broad support such as the Alliance Defending Freedom and the Family Research Council with the “hate group” label. This is due to those groups’ opposition to abortion, advocacy for traditional marriage, and other conservative causes.” Deputy Chairman of DNC Wants Amazon to Ban “Hate Crime” Books – But Not Muslim Brotherhood, American Liberty Report. July 2018

Please, read the recent founding of the Daily Caller:

The FBI has an ongoing relationship with the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported.

The SPLC once placed HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson on an “extremist watch list,” before backing down and removing him four months later.

The SPLC also works with Amazon, Twitter, Google and Facebook in their efforts to police their platforms.

The SPLC’s work has been plagued by inaccuracies and the group paid out a $3.3 million settlement in April. Peter Hansen reported, 7-28-2018.

Another fraud is just before your eyes. We know today that there were three versions of the Trump/Dossier from three different sources. It is possible, but it doesn’t change the essence and fraudulent concept of the Dossier. When I saw it in 2017, it took me only a couple of seconds to recognize a Russian Fallshivka—a fraud and typical KGB fake product. I reacted to the Dossier immediately, writing and analyzing my impression. The word Dossier is coming from Napoleonic Code of the Russian Law. I can repeat my conclusion testifying under the oath or to the lie detector. Any former Soviet citizens will recognized the Trump/Dossier as the KGB product at once. Read my analyses of the Trump/Dossier: The Global Spy Ring, January 1, 2018, “So we now find out that it was indeed the unverified and Fake Dirty Dossier that was paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC, that was knowingly & falsely submitted to FISA and which was responsible for starting the totally conflicted and discredited Mueller Witch Hunt!” 6:30 AM – Jul 23, 2018  I would insist—the Trump/Dossier is the Russian Fallshivka, a product of the KGB.  No experts of our Intel identified the fraud, moreover, the FBI used it as a legitimate document, spying against President Trump. What a shame! Using the term KGB, I mean the entire Russian Intel—it is a collective image, the reason for that is those three letters are familiar to vast majority of Americans.

The Andropov Legacy in America

Yuri Andropov

The recent action of our Law Enforcement reminded me even more of the Soviet Government: President Donald Trump blasted the federal government and one of his former attorneys Saturday morning for using “perhaps illegal” means to delegitimize his presidency. “Inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer’s office (early in the morning) – almost unheard of. Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client – totally unheard of & perhaps illegal,” Trump wrote in a tweet. And Trump is right again: it is his private life years prior to his presidency. What had happened is a typical KGB information-operation on American land–Obama’s socialist legacy where private life belongs to the State.

As a former Soviet defense attorney, I can testify that even in the Soviet Union the attorney/client privilege had existed: it did not guarantee you winning of the case, yet I tried and won some cases. But… in America a lawyer taping a private conversation with a client and now the entire world can see it and get involved!? I called it Sovietization of America and had given you many other examples of ideological similarity with the Soviets in my books and columns. Yet, there is a menacing sign of this similarity–Lanny Davis as a Cohen lawyer. Lanny Davis has been a member of the Clinton Mafia for a long time. Please remember my identification of the Controlled Opposition, I have learned it being a Soviet attorney within the legal community at the time of Yuri Andropov as the KGB Chairman. Controlled Opposition means having a spy who is acting within the real opposition party, who behaves as the forces controlling him command. Considering this, I expect that Mr. Cohen will be a toy in the hand of the Socialist Mafia and Democrat’s leadership to attack President Trump. Knowledge is Power.

Being a former Soviet attorney, I know the corrupt Soviet Socialist System and the methods and tricks it operates on. Living in and learning my adapted country, America, it became obvious to me where the social changes were coming from. Yes, all of that has begun in 1969 by the Andropov/Clinton conspiracy, which continued by Obama/Putin Alliance before your eyes during the last decade. I dedicated many pages to Yuri Andropov, the KGB Chairman 1967-1982. Those fifteen years of his tenure, I served as a defense attorney within the legal community that discussed Andropov all those years. I know Yuri Andropov better than any other chairmen of the KGB and consider him the third ideologue after Lenin and Stalin. It was Andropov who thought globally, and glued the ideology to the Russian Intelligence forever. He is the person who designed the massive infiltration of the KGB agents to the American soil. Here is a description of Andropov’s personality by another KGB General:

“In 1972 the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the U.S. As KGB Chairman, Yuri Andropov told me a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America that could a few millions. We needed to instill a Nazi-style hatred for Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon of the emotions into a terrorist bloodbath against Israel and its main supporter the United States. No one within the American/Zionist sphere of influence should any longer feel safe.  (“Russian Footprints,” by Ion Mihai Pacepa, National Review Online, August 24, 2008.)

General Pacepa wrote in the same article: “According to Andropov… the Muslims had a taste for nationalism, jingoism, and victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever pitch. Terrorism and violence against Israel and her master, American Zionism, would flow naturally from the Muslims’ religious fervor, Andropov sermonized.” What can better confirm my term Soviet Fascism than those words? They summarized my entire writings. Now you have Andropov’s portrait and I remind you again that under him the infiltration into Western civilization had tripled or quadrupled. Under his watch occurred the bloodiest terrorists’ attacks in the world, from the Munich murder of Israelis in the Olympic Village to the Johnstown tragedy in America.

I called Andropov a conduit between Stalin and Vladimir Putin—who is a devoted disciple of both. Andropov came to power in 1967 and without the truth about Andropov/Clinton conspiracy we have never exposed the crime committed against the American Republic by the “criminal cabal” of our security apparatus and Democrats. If Stalin had the ideas to destroy America, Andropov worked out the strategy and tactics for the KGB of how to achieve that destruction. He had a monumental plan, designed and aimed at the destruction of American capitalism totally through infiltration of the American Media and the security apparatus, transforming both from within into something resembling the Soviet media and KGB, subordinated to the top ideological leadership. Recall now, how our coordinated mainstream media attacked in unison Trump and how often Obama spoke against Law Enforcement to make it obedient to his ideology of Socialism. Andropov’s design has “achieved” a great deal…

For the last nine years, I was writing about Obama/Putin Alliance and the attempt to implement the corrupt system of Soviet Socialism in America, which I named Soviet Fascism. There is no need to repeat the deeds of Obama/Putin Alliance, and remind you about some bad actors, they were described in Socialist Lies: From Stalin to the Clintons, Obamas, and Sanders, Xlibris, 2016. The current book of Jerome Corsi Killing the Deep State is continuing to expose the Obama/Putin Alliance and those bad actors. Look for the recent book by Gregg Jarrett The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump. I would call the current Witch Hunt of President Trump the Russia Hoax as well. The mandate to investigate Russia’s meddling in the 2018 election gradually turned into a dirty laundry exposure against our President. Only Russia is interested in what is going on in America, to divide and paralyze the entire country …

Despite very thoughtful analyses by Gregg Jarrett, the media and some White House reporters have been pushing the Trump-Russia Collusion narrative for two years now, and many of them are not willing to let it go despite the fact that there’s still no “there there.” And I am repeating again: Knowledge is Power! Today the Trump/Russian collusion story has become a destructive narrative in Washington D.C. that overwhelms and prevents the normal functioning of the government and diverts attention from an actually serious foreign threat. Obama’s FBI is a hotbed of anti-Trump so-called conspiracies, it’s where the Obama/Putin Alliance launched their campaign to undermine Donald Trump, putting our country at great risk. Yet, Obama/Putin Alliance of the Democrat Party could only prevail on the prior foundation of the Andropov/Clinton conspiracy of the Democrat Party. To understand that it is necessary to go back and analyze the events and Clinton’s behavior in Oxford in 1969. Read my column Origin of the Washington Spy-Ring and the Swamp, March 31, 2018. I don’t know for how many years our Intel had been sleeping and missing an elephant in the “criminal cabal” –Bill Clinton. And the Clinton Mafia was growing into an international force, corrupting our political system from within…

When the FBI applied for the FISA warrant, the Bureau did not disclose that the dossier was bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democrat National Committee. This is another fraud, which is connecting all bad actors of the “criminal cabal.” Despite an overwhelming fraud, the media desperately tries to keep the Trump/ Russia collusion ‘narrative’ alive, even as evidence fades and bad actors have been exposed. Unfortunately, most Americans have no idea of the massive, deep, and ubiquitous infiltration by the KGB into American institutions. They do not know that two U.S. Presidents had been chosen for them by the KGB.

America has two types of people committing betrayals: those who do not like the system established by our Founding Fathers and are trying to transform it– they are currently collaborating with the KGB to destroy America the Beautiful, and those people who haven’t a clue about the KGB infiltrations, hence becoming their accomplices. Current security people won’t be able to identify them without reading my books and columns. One thing history as taught us that we cannot let up until the enemy is completely defeated.

August is a dangerous month—WW1 started by the Serbian Intel in August 1914. Today is a very dangerous time for the American Republic. We are witnessing the result of an incredible abuse and corruption within the weaponized FBI, CIA, and DOJ by the preceding administrations. In my opinion we are dealing today with a huge international conspiracy to oust President Trump. Moreover, this conspiracy is coordinated and run by the Russian Intelligence. The Russian meddling in the 2016 election and the accusation that Trump colluded with them, is the KGB’s maneuvering trick to cover-up their real collaboration with the Democrat Party for decades. It is not a coincidence that 20-30 of my latest columns described the KGB and its Chairman Yuri Andropov. We are witnessing the disastrous result of failed American Intelligence in August 2018…

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 is a connective link of the two groups.

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

Forth: 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. Yet, there is a difference today: a billion hardworking Chinese people have achieved substantially more than the alcoholic and drug addled Russians…

Knowledge Is Power!   Good luck America!

VIDEO: Ex-Muslim Woman Warns, “Do not vote for Abdul El-Sayed For Michigan Governor!”

Investigative journalist Laura Loomer traveled to Michigan with The United West to investigate Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim candidate running for Governor in Michigan as a Democrat Socialist.

El-Sayed is a Sharia compliant Muslim, but his political platform and talking points directly contradict Islamic law.

Farrah Prudence is an ex-Muslim. Loomer sat down with her and asked her about El-Sayed. According to Farrah, El-Sayed is Sharia compliant and his policies pose a direct threat to women in America given his devout practice of Islamic law, which is inherently misogynistic.

Adam Putnam Lies about the FairTax — Putnam looks more and more like a Charlie Crist republican

Adam Putnam launched the below ad titled “23% More” on July 24th, 2018. The ad attacks his Florida gubernatorial opponent Congressman Ron DeSantis for his support of the FairTax.

NewsMax reports in an article titled “New Adam Putnam Ad Hits DeSantis on 23% Sales Tax Plan” that the ad states:

“What would a 23 percent sales tax do to Florida’s economy?” asks the ad now on YouTube, dubbing DeSantis as “D.C. DeSantis.”

“If Congressman DeSantis had his way, everything would cost 23 percent more — groceries, gas, home purchases.”

“Congressman DeSantis sponsored legislation to increase sales taxes by 23 percent, hurting families, destroying jobs, devastating tourism. Washington is full of bad ideas and phony politicians. Ron DeSantis and his huge tax increase fit right in,” the ad continues.

Read more.

The problem is Putnam is lying.

Libertarian radio host Neal Boortz, who co-wrote “The FairTax Book,” responded to Putnam’s ad with a tweet: “If you are having trouble understanding the FairTax, perhaps you ought to comment me. I wrote the book.” He followed up, “The Adam Putnam campaign is LYING THROUGH ITS TEETH … and they know it.”

What Putnam doesn’t tell you is that Floridians will benefit from the FairTax because it will eliminate all federal taxes (income, estate, payroll, gift and business). Florida has no state income tax, which is a reason many people relocate to the Sunshine State. Let’s look at the chart below showing the current income tax brackets and rates to understand why Putnam is lying.

You will notice that individuals making more than $38,000 will actually see a tax decrease. Also note that the FairTax gives those below the federal poverty level (FPL) a quarterly refund of estimated sales taxes paid under the FairTax.

Here is the a table of percentages of the FPL guidelines.

Size of
Family Unit
48 Contiguous
States and D.C.
Alaska Hawaii
1 $12,140 $15,180 $13,960
2 16,460 20,580 18,930
3 20,780 25,980 23,900
4 25,100 31,380 28,870
5 29,420 36,780 33,840
6 33,740 42,180 38,810
7 38,060 47,580 43,780
8 42,380 52,980 48,750
For each additional
person, add
 4,320  5,400  4,970

The FairTax also eliminates all small business and corporate federal taxes. This saves Florida’s individuals, small business and corporations money by neither having to file tax returns nor hiring tax lawyers and accountants. In its annual survey of Tax Return Preparation Fee Averages, the National Society of Accountants reports the following average fees its members charged to prepare 2014 tax returns: 1040 with state return with no itemized deductions: $159. 1040 with Schedule A (itemized deductions) and state return: $273.

Additionally, Congress will lose its power to use taxes to reward and punish individuals and companies. Congress and career politicians will lose their ability to weaponize the IRS.

When your factor in all of these items it appears that the title of “D.C.” belongs to Putnam, not DeSantis. Putnam wants Floridians to continue to pay federal income taxes. Sounds like Putnam is still part of the swamp.

When the FairTax is implemented Florida will truly become an Income Tax Free state.

Democrats Electoral Strategy: Open Borders and Let Non-Citizens Vote

Democrats are leading the way to open borders by allowing non-citizens to vote first in school districts and then will seek the same in Federal elections. This dovetails with California’s Sanctuary City State policy. While the media obsesses about Russian interference in U.S. elections California Democrats have figured out a way to undermine our entire electoral system.

Democrats shout about 12 Russians interfering in our election, while at the same time promoting giving 1.2 million illegal aliens voting rights. Isn’t giving illegals a right to vote colluding to fix elections?

Democrats’ Electoral Strategy: Let Non-Citizens Vote

Originally published at Fox News

Democrats’ Electoral Strategy: Let Non-Citizens Vote

In San Francisco, immigrants who are in the country illegally are now eligible to register and vote in school board elections. Of course, this is clearly illegal under the California Constitution.

Article II, Section 2 of the California Constitution says, “A United States citizen 18 years of age and resident in this State may vote.”

However, the pro-illegal immigration, sanctuary state-supporting Democratic majority in Sacramento has no interest in enforcing the law when it’s being ignored by fellow Democrats. After all, their long-range plans for a ruling majority depend on continuous law breaking to get enough non-Americans to vote. The Californians who don’t support their radical views, can simply be eclipsed by non-citizen voters who will.

As the San Francisco ABC News affiliate reported, the county’s District 7 Elections Supervisor Norman Yee said, ”We want to give immigrants the right to vote.”

Cal Thomas captured what is going on in a July 19 column entitled “The Name of the Game: Votes for Democrats.”

As Thomas points out, this is only the beginning of a much larger strategy.

“Who doubts this is the first step by the left and Democrats toward full voting rights in state and eventually in federal elections? The claim by lawyers will be that it is discriminatory to allow undocumented immigrants to vote in local and state elections and not for members of Congress and for president. At bottom this is what the entire immigration debate is about.”

Thomas concludes, “For Democrats, it’s a perfect cover for their ultimate goal: importing votes.”

Translating Trumpese

Like a lot of people, I often get confused by news reports expressing different interpretations of what President Donald Trump allegedly said. Even when you hear it yourself, it is not uncommon to read or hear a different interpretation altogether from the press.

At first, I thought it was nothing but spin by the main stream media, but it finally occurred to me, Americans speak two different languages based on English, Liberal and “Trumpese.” It is a simple matter of translation. In studying the lexicon of both, I have discovered how Liberals translate Mr. Trump’s comments and vice versa. For example, when liberals say something is “backwards,” it is translated to “forwards” for everyone else. Other examples, “disabled = strong”, “disgruntled = happy”, etc. For a more complete list, see the bottom of this article.

Now let’s consider how these words apply:

In a recent joint statement issued by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the two are quoted as saying:

WHAT THE LIBERALS SAY:

“President Trump’s brazen insults and denigration of one of America’s most steadfast allies, Germany, is an embarrassment,” the statement reads. “His behavior this morning is another profoundly disturbing signal that the President is more loyal to President Putin than to our NATO allies.”

TRANSLATION FOR EVERYONE ELSE:

“President Trump’s truthful observations and compliments of one of America’s most shaky allies, Germany, is an achievement,” the statement reads. “His behavior this morning is another profoundly refreshing signal that the President treats both the same, President Putin and our NATO allies.”

Let’s try another by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA):

WHAT MAXINE SAYS:

“Already you have members of your Cabinet who have been booed out of restaurants. Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

TRANSLATION FOR EVERYONE ELSE:

“Already you have members of your Cabinet who have been cheered out of restaurants. Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you heartily welcome them. And you tell them they’re loved and appreciated.”

This handy translation filter works both ways, for example:

WHAT MR. TRUMP SAYS:

“We’ve had a very amazing two-day period in Brussels,” Trump told reporters. “Everyone has agreed to substantially up their commitment. They’re going to up it at levels that they’ve never thought of before.”

“And now we’re very happy and have a very, very powerful, very, very strong NATO, much stronger than it was two days ago,” he said.

LIBERAL TRANSLATION:

“We’ve had a very catastrophic two-day period in Brussels,” Trump told reporters. “Everyone has disagreed to substantially up their commitment. They’re going to bring it down to levels that they’ve never thought of before.”

“And now we’re very disgruntled and have a very, very disabled, very, very week NATO, much weaker than it was two days ago,” he said.

Okay, now try it yourself. Suppose you are a liberal and want to say something like:

WHAT A LIBERAL WOULD SAY:

“45 is the worst president in American history. He should be impeached if, for no other reason, than campaign violations and treason. Nominating a supreme court justice under such a cloud of suspicion is ridiculous. Therefore, you must not move forward with ANY nominee proposed by 45.”

TRANSLATION FOR EVERYONE ELSE:

“President Donald J. Trump is the best president in American history. He should be reelected if, for no other reason, than being elected over Crooked Hillary and making America great again. Nominating a supreme court justice under a proven track record is inspiring. Therefore, you must move forward with ANY nominee proposed by President Donald J. Trump.”

Perhaps the best way to think of Trumpese is as a foreign language requiring translation tools, such as those provided by Google, and I cannot wait to see how it is implemented by the people at Babbel.

Business people will understand Trumpese better than most people as it is ultimately derived from those who are results oriented and not politically correct. Remarkably, most news anchors and reporters from the main stream media are fluent as well, as demonstrated by their interpretation immediately following a speech or news conference by President Trump.

So you see, “Trumpese” is actually quite simple. It’s not that we do not agree, we simply do not speak the same language. 😉

Here is a more complete list for translation:

LIBERAL – TRUMPESE
45 = President Donald J. Trump
backwards = forwards
booed = cheered
brazen insults = truthful observations
bring it down = up it
campaign violations = being elected over Crooked Hillary
catastrophic = amazing
chaotic = premeditated
cloud of suspicion = proven track record
condemning = highly warranted
democracy = republic
denigration = compliments
disabled = strong
disagreed = agreed
disgruntled = happy
disturbing = refreshing
embarrassment = achievement
enemies = potential customers
failure = success
friends = adversaries
grave = positive
horrible = great
impeached = reelected
in over his head = on top of his game
is more loyal to = treats both the same
must not = must
not welcome anymore, anywhere = loved and appreciated
offensive = candid
push back on = heartily welcome
ridiculous = inspiring
rude = personable
steadfast = shaky
successful = detrimental
traitor = patriot
treason = making America great again
weak = disabled
worst = best

PODCAST: The Reasons Women Aren’t Happy Today

Listen here to the full podcast, which features an interview with Mona Charen and a discussion of a new study showing kids don’t play as much outside, or read the lightly edited transcript of the Charen interview below.

Katrina Trinko: Joining us is Mona Charen, the author of the new book “Sex Matters: How Modern Feminism Lost Touch with Science, Love, and Common Sense.” Mona is a columnist, a contributor to National Review, and a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

Mona, first I wanted to touch on something you bring up in the intro to the book: Women aren’t happy. You note that women’s happiness has declined since the early 1970s, that women are significantly more likely than men to be on antidepressants. Is there a relationship between women’s dissatisfaction and feminism in your view?

Mona Charen: I think there is a connection because I think that one of the things that the feminist movement did is it removed something from the lives of women that’s very important to them, and that is security. Women need security because we are more vulnerable than men. We’re the ones who are smaller and weaker. We are the ones who have babies, who nurse babies. Security is very important to us. Because of the decline of marriage and the more raw, sexual environment that women are forced to live in now, there’s less security than there used to be.

Trinko: Interesting. As someone who hates being out of my comfort zone, I can relate to that. You also mentioned in the introduction to your book [Facebook Chief Operating Officer] Sheryl Sandberg’s “Lean In”. Obviously that’s an enormously influential book. It’s encouraged women to lean in to their careers, even if they’re having children—to essentially still be aggressive on the career front. What do you think about Sandberg’s advice and can women have it all?

Charen: Women can have it all, but not all at once. We are lucky that most of us can expect to live long lives, and there’s time enough to do everything in a sequential pattern, not necessarily all at once.

I also resist this idea of having it all because I believe that to be our fullest and best selves, we have to also focus on giving to others and not just living for ourselves. When I was a mother and when I was with my kids, I felt that I was where I really needed to be. That was a good feeling, and it made me happy. There was another part to your question about having it all. What was it?

Trinko: Well, women can have it all, but it sounds like you’re saying …

Charen: Yes, women can, but again, I would just push back a little bit on this idea of having as being the goal. I think we should all want to live rounded lives where we give and receive love to one another.

Trinko: Good. What do you think about sexual assault right now, particularly on college campuses? What is the right approach to this matter?

Charen: Well, conservatives have made a point of saying that the 1 in 5 or the 1 in 4 statistic is not true, and I agree, that is not. It’s an exaggeration, but I think conservatives have gone a little too far in stressing only the stories about mattress girl and others or the University of Virginia case, a rape on campus where they turned out to be hoaxes, because there really is a problem.

There really is a lot of very bad behavior going on. Conservatives should not be perceived as indifferent to the mistreatment of women or the rape of women. It is happening in numbers way beyond what should be tolerable.

That’s my plea is to take it seriously and begin to examine what is going wrong between the sexes. Why is there so much sexual assault? I point to a number of things, the hookup culture, the excessive drinking that characterizes dating life now (if you can even call it dating), and the confusion about sex where people aren’t getting clear signals about what is acceptable and what isn’t. The whole regime of so-called affirmative consent is confusing and unhelpful.

Trinko: Yeah, it seems like many of these people are saying, “Well, you didn’t read my signals.” It’s like, well, how could someone you’ve met a couple hours ago …

Charen: Exactly.

Trinko: … read your signals? Maybe the bigger question is why are you having this intimate activity right away?

Charen: Yes.

Trinko: I make a point of trying to read a lot of feminist takes just to keep that in mind. Obviously the term toxic masculinity is used a lot.

Charen: A lot, yeah.

Trinko: What do you think about that term, and in general, what should we be doing about the boys right now?

Charen: One of my critiques about feminism is that they have a tendency to disparage men as a sex. To say even the phrase toxic masculinity …

Imagine toxic femininity. Feminists would be up in arms if there were such a term being bandied about, much less whole courses about it in men’s studies departments. Look, men are human beings. They have strengths and weaknesses. Masculinity brings with it some serious problems, like aggression, like a huge sex drive that has to be controlled, but masculinity also brings with it a self-sacrifice, a willingness to be brave and to protect those who are weak and vulnerable.

One of the things that I cite in my chapter on this where I’m talking about toxic masculinity are the cases where for example, when that shooter entered the theater in Aurora, Colorado, no fewer than four young men covered their girlfriends with their own bodies to protect them.

Trinko: Wow.

Charen: Three died doing so.

Trinko: I did not know that.

Charen: You can say what you want about men and about masculinity, but that’s part of masculinity, that natural, self-sacrificing heroism.

Let’s be fair to men. If men have become very sexually aggressive and insensitive, maybe it’s because all of the rules about dating have been thrown out the window, and we live in a culture that is drenched in pornography and in which we are told that the old standards about courtship and dating are completely passe.

Trinko: Actually, you just mentioned pornography, and I think that’s something that we don’t really talk about very much publicly, which is interesting. You see that studies show that an enormous number of people are looking at it, including some women as well. How do you think that forms part of the problem between the sexes right now?

Charen: I think it’s a huge part of the problem. I think it definitely invades people’s imaginations and infiltrates what people think is normal behavior. The Harvey Weinstein story with some of the behaviors that he engaged in were just so grotesque. I thought, “Where did he get these ideas like masturbating into a potted plant?” No normal woman would have ever told him that that was a turn on. He had to have gotten that from some pornographic thing somewhere.

Trinko: Yeah, I think it’s definitely shaping desires. It seems every, I don’t know, [every] few months you read another story about high schoolers or college girls feeling they have to engage in some new behavior. They’re told, “Oh, well, I saw it in porn.”

Charen: Yeah, exactly. I’m sorry, but it used to be that boys would think they were lucky if a girl would let him kiss her or touch her somewhere, right. Now boys are making these demands that women do things to their bodies to make themselves appealing that are totally unnatural and weird. Is this progress?

Trinko: Not in my view. A lot of conservative conversation focuses on what’s wrong with the current culture, but are there any positive ideas that could help women lead more fulfilling lives?

Charen: Absolutely. One of the things that I liked in the research for my book is that I’ve found there are countercultural movements afoot. There’s a professor at Boston College called Kerry Cronin who has assigned dating to her students and taught them how to ask someone out on a date and how to go out on dates. She gives advice in class about how to do it. The students support each other, and they’re very enthusiastic.

Under her rules, the students have to be home by 10 p.m. There can be no drinking on the date. It can’t be a movie because there has to be an opportunity for conversation. In any event, and they have to ask someone they’re genuinely interested in, not just a friend to get out of the assignment, I suppose. It’s just reintroducing these things, reintroducing the idea of romance. I think it might just catch on.

Trinko: Yeah, I think it might. It’s always interesting to me. I’m a bit older than a college student, but at the same time, it seems that so many people in the overall millennial generation are more comfortable being physical with a stranger than being verbally intimate.

Charen: Exactly. I said to one of my sons that they can’t protect their bodies, but they do protect their souls. They put up walls so that people can’t really get to know them.

Trinko: Absolutely. You see that a lot on dating sites. Now one critique I imagine the left would say about this book is that essentially it’s wanting to go back to the 1950s. Is that your ideal era?

Charen: No.

Trinko: Let’s say you could wave a wand and change society. What does it look like?

Charen: If I could wave a wand and change society, I would change it to 2018 to the habits of people who are living right now but who happen to be college graduates. If you look at the patterns of dating and marriage and childbearing of the college graduate cohort in our society, you don’t have to go back to the 1950s, they’re doing it right now. Their patterns of finishing school, getting married, and having babies in that order, it hasn’t changed very much from the patterns that used to characterize everybody in the 1950s.

Some people say, “You want to go back to the 50s.” No, I just want all of our people in every income category, especially those at the bottom who need the support of families even more than the people at the top, to be able to benefit from having a mother and a father in the home, having two incomes, having that stability and that great start in life.

Trinko: OK, thank you very much, Mona. Again, she’s the author of the new book, “Sex Matters: How Modern Feminism Lost Touch with Science, Love, and Common Sense.” Check it out.

Democrats Caught In Vile Attack On Wife Of Trump’s Florida Co-Chair

The deteriorating state of the American left and the Democratic Party was on vivid display again in a recent, ugly controversy in Florida that Democrats initiated, then tried to shrug off and finally back-tracked on after media coverage exposed it.

A Democrat running for local government office posted on Facebook about an issue facing voters in November. Joe Gruters, the chairman of the Republican Party of Sarasota, a state representative and the co-chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign in Florida, responded to the issue. One of the first responses to his comment was this:

“..you never did answer my question about when and where I can grab your wife by her pu**y. Get back to me on this.”

Obviously this vile piece of nastiness was a reference to Trump’s old statement from the Access Live video several years ago, which Trump apologized for and for which he rightly received considerable condemnation from Republicans at the time.

Alone, it was just a one-off from a nasty individual. But this repugnant comment was “liked” many times, including by a local Democratic candidate running for the School Board. This candidate was subsequently forced to apologize when the local ABC affiliate did a story on it — which came only after the Republican Party of Sarasota put out a statement condemning the comment, the “like” by the School Board candidate and the willingness of the original Democratic author of the post to keep it up. The statement called on the Democratic Party to disavow the statement and its candidates’ involvement in it.

The Democratic Party did neither. But after the media exposure and public fallout became clear, the vile comment was taken down the next day. Of course, that could have happened immediately. It could have happened after Gruters brought it to the attention of the initial Democrats’ posting. It could have happened when the Republican Party issued its statement. But it did not happen until it was exposed in the media and the Democratic Party measured the response in this red part of Florida.

As bad as all of that was, the really telling part is that the Sarasota County Democratic Party issued an official statement saying that while the comment was inappropriate…“make no mistake that this fake outrage by the Republican Party of Sarasota about a ‘like’ of a comment on a Facebook page is a clear attempt to distract the voters and to score political points.”

Fake outrage?

It seems pretty likely that if anyone suggested they wanted to know when they could grab the private female parts of one of the Democrats’ wives or daughters or mothers, their outrage would be most sincere. Too many Democrats have learned nothing from the lessons of the 2016 election. Instead of understanding how they disconnected from so many Americans, the lesson they took is that because Trump said something vile, they can therefor say anything with impunity. Wrong lesson — for them and the country.

It’s also clear that if Republicans had not highlighted the nastiness to the local media, the Democrats were fine with leaving the comment and its supporting approvals up. Most people recognized that the outrage over this was real and legitimate, particularly for candidates asking voters to put them in office.

Perhaps Democrats need to step back and rethink spending the past 18 months in a daily cyclone of ginned up, hate-based outrage over every act of the Trump administration. It has impaired their ability to distill genuine outrage from the fake.

And its impaired the ability of the nation to participate in any sort of issues-based, civil debate.

VIDEOS: Flames of Hatred — Socialists Who Burn Our American Flag

The fake news media melts down over a flame being held near The New York Times. What have they ever said about these socialists who burn our American flag?

“What is it that everyone thinks is going to happen next? The peaceful transfer of power? Calm elections? We’re destroying ourselves from the inside and apparently the Maxine Waters of this world think that’s a great thing.” —Dana Loesch

New Report Shows Every Congressional District Benefits From Tax Reform

What would you buy with $26,000? A new car? A year of college tuition? A down payment on a house?

This is not a hypothetical question. New research from The Heritage Foundation shows that the average American household can expect about $26,000 more in take-home pay over the next 10 years thanks to the tax reform that Congress passed last year.

But where can you find the “average” American? With Heritage’s new online tool, you can see how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will benefit the typical taxpayer in every congressional district. We’ve tailored our research to where you live. (Check it out here.)

The big takeaway? Wherever you live, typical taxpayers in every congressional district will see a tax cut in 2018.

You may have noticed this phenomenon already as your employer has started deducting less from your paycheck this year. The average American household can expect to pay about $1,400 less in taxes in 2018. But depending on where you live and how many kids you have, the numbers can look different.

In communities that had high tax bills last year, such as Palo Alto, California’s district (CA-18) represented in the House by Anna Eshoo, or one of New York City’s Manhattan districts (NY-12) represented by Carolyn Maloney, the average tax cut could be as much as $3,000.

Lower-income communities, such as areas near Phoenix, Arizona, (AZ-7) represented in the House by Ruben Gallego, as well as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, (PA-2) represented by Dwight Evans, will see much larger percentage decreases in their tax bills. Tax reform benefited these communities by cutting their income taxes on average by 18 percent or more.

Moreover, Americans with children will benefit tremendously from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. A married couple filing jointly with two children will see their tax bills fall by $2,917.

The tax cuts, however, will have much larger effects than just letting Americans keep more of their money. Since tax reform passed, more than 600 companies have announced more jobs, more bonuses, higher wages, charitable giving, and new investments in the U.S. Many of them explicitly cited the tax cuts as the reason for the bonuses and investments.

Businesses are in the midst of the longest-running trend of adding jobs to the U.S. economy in our history.

In the coming years, the tax cuts will continue to raise wages, increase investment, and expand economic opportunities. Americans will in fact benefit twice from the tax cuts—once from paying less in taxes, and again from higher pre-tax incomes.

But this future is not certain. Many of the tax cuts expire after 2025, and some in Congress are determined to repeal them well before then. If the tax cuts are made permanent, our estimates suggest take-home pay after 2025 would be about 1 percent higher, corresponding to $600 per year for someone making the median U.S. income.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is fundamentally important for Americans all across the country. It’s time to protect our paychecks and our financial well-being by telling Congress to make our tax cuts permanent.

Trump Outfoxed Them Again

Trump is wise for not falling into democrats’, fake news media and the Deep state’s trap of saying Russia tampered with our election. Russia has tried to impact our elections forever. While 12 Russians were indicted in the Russia collusion investigation, no Americans were indicted. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein stated that Russian tampering had no impact on the outcome of our presidential election. In other words, Trump won fair and square

Conservative pundits who joined the American left’s and Deep state’s chorus demanding that Trump admit Russian tampering still don’t get it. What part of the American left and Deep state’s contempt for fairness or truth do these conservatives not understand? The American left and Deep state are laser-focused on kicking Trump out of office by any means necessary.

All they are interested in is Trump gifting them with a sound bite they can distort and lie about to harm him. If Trump said Russia tampered but it did not impact our election, fake news media would report, “Trump admits Russian tampering.” MSNBC would report, “Trump practically admitted he colluded with Russia to steal the election from Hillary.” Nowhere in the fake news media frenzy would you hear the second part of Trump’s statement; “…it did not impact our election”.

We know the drill folks. How many times must leftists lay “gotcha” traps for conservatives/Republicans before our side gets it? When will Republicans and Conservatives understand that they cannot play nice, appease, try to reason with or find common ground with leftist fanatics? These evil hate-filled people want Conservatives, Republicans and Trump politically dead. Period. It is not an exaggeration to say many political elites and leftists want our president physically dead.

Years ago, I was speaking and singing on a national bus tour with Tea Party Express. After a long day of Tea Party rallies, our team had dinner at a restaurant. A team member got the manager to turn the TV to Saturday Night Live because Sarah Palin was a scheduled guest.

The comedy skits portrayed Sarah as stupid. Several of my fellow team members laughed and thought it was great for Sarah to poke fun at herself to show that conservatives/Republicans are not ogres, but really nice people. I did not laugh. I thought Sarah’s appearance was a huge mistake. Saturday Night Live’s leftist producer’s goal was to brand this brilliant female governor an idiot. Sadly, in the minds of far too many, the left’s branding of Sarah stuck.

I even began hearing conservatives/Republicans say Palin is stupid and toxic and must be gotten rid of. This angered me because I thought, so this is how we treat our courageous warriors. While the American left’s and Deep state’s 24/7 campaign to destroy Trump is unprecedented in its hate, rage and vitriol, their attempt to destroy Sarah was extremely hot and heavy.

Leftists who portray themselves as paragons of superior compassion even viciously attacked Trig, Sarah Palin’s Down Syndrome son

And yet, Sarah never wavered in boldly standing up for God, family and country; traditional principles and values which have made America great. I and millions of Americans loved her for it.

A few days ago, I heard fake news media report something Trump supposedly said. I can’t recall what it was, but the report was a total lie. So, why in the world should Trump try to get on the good side of these people who purposely distort and lie about everything he says and does?

It is wise that Trump typically doubles down rather than apologize for anything he says and does. The American left and deep state would regard any apology as a crack in Trumps armor – blood in the water; an opening to attack him with even more distortions and lies. The Trump-hating-behemoth is not about being fair, balanced or reasonable. Everything they do and say is about removing Trump from office and destroying the lives of himself and his family, even 12 year old Barron

An outrageous New York Magazine headline proves my point, “ Mueller’s New Indictment Points to Collusion With Russia.” What the heck are these people at NY Mag talking about? Mueller’s investigation said Russia tampering did not impact a single vote in Trump’s victory. And yet, NY Mag is distorting this truth to mislead low-info voters to still believe the absurd lie the American left and Deep state have promoted for almost two years: that Trump stole the election from Hillary. This is the dishonesty we are up against regarding fake news media. Again I ask, why on earth should Trump try to appease these people?

I love Trump expressing his disrespect for fake news media; continuing to boldly stick-it-to-them – while steamrollering over them with his Make America Great Again agenda. All I ask is that we stay firmly in Trump’s corner, assuring him that We the People have his back.

The Rise of Democrat Socialism in America

Democratic Socialists of America logo. The symbol of a rose in a fist is used by the Socialist International “and many of its member parties” such as the French Socialist Party (PS). The British Labour Party has used a red rose as its symbol since the late 1980s; the rose replaced the party’s previous symbol, the red flag.

Democrat Socialism is a separate movement and is not the Liberal Democrat Party most Democrats voted for in the past. It should not be included in the Democrat Party. It is a separate philosophy and should be identified as a separate Party . 

Democrat Socialism is a misnomer. There is nothing democratic about Socialism. Socialism and Communism are two sides of the same coin. History shows that Socialism and Communism do not share a democrat philosophy but are both fascist in nature. Socialists and Communists both propose utopia but end up with a dictator. Can you name one major Socialist country not ruled by a dictator? Along the way most Socialist and Communist countries have killed millions of their citizens in their march to Socialism and Communism.

In order to make Socialism more palatable its proponents added the name Democrat in front of Socialism. It is a distinct movement that has little in common with Democrat liberalism.  If Democrat Socialism was only a name it would not be so serious. However in co-opting the name it has made substantial strides in manipulating liberal Democrat senators and congressional members and the media to join with it.Their name identifies them a liberal Democrats but nothing could be less true. Liberal Democrats are being duped by a name.

Below is an article that appeared in the Associated Press (a liberal media outlet). I quote:

“There is little distinction made between the terms “democratic socialism” and “socialism” in the group’s literature. While Ringelstein and other DSA-backed candidates promote a “big-tent” philosophy, the group’s constitution describes its members as socialists who “reject an economic order based on private profit” and “share a vision of a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning, equitable distribution, feminism, racial equality and non-oppressive relationships.”

Members during public meetings often refer to each other “comrades, wear clothing featuring socialist symbols like the rose and promote authors such as Karl Marx.”

Unless liberal Democrats wake up to what’s happening to their Party they may not only lose future elections but may lose their country.  


Democratic socialism surging in the age of Trump

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A week ago, Maine Democrat Zak Ringelstein wasn’t quite ready to consider himself a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, even if he appreciated the organization’s values and endorsement in his bid to become a U.S. senator.

Three days later, he told The Associated Press it was time to join up. He’s now the only major-party Senate candidate in the nation to be a dues-paying democratic socialist.

Ringelstein’s leap is the latest evidence of a nationwide surge in the strength and popularity of an organization that, until recently, operated on the fringes of the liberal movement’s farthest left flank. As Donald Trump’s presidency stretches into its second year, democratic socialism has become a significant force in Democratic politics. Its rise comes as Democrats debate whether moving too far left will turn off voters.

“I stand with the democratic socialists, and I have decided to become a dues-paying member,” Ringelstein told AP. “It’s time to do what’s right, even if it’s not easy.”

There are 42 people running for offices at the federal, state and local levels this year with the formal endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America, the organization says. They span 20 states, including Florida, Hawaii, Kansas and Michigan.

President Putin offers to have Mueller interview the 12 Russians… Mueller declines?

In an article titled “Vladimir Putin Humiliated Robert Mueller” Steven Ahle wrote:

Putin invited Mueller and some of his team to Russia to interrogate the 12 men. Then Putin took it a step further and reminded Mueller that the US and Russia have an extradition treaty and he could have the 12 men sent to the US to meet with Mueller and face the charges. To no one’s surprise, Mueller has decided to do neither one. I don’t blame him after what happened with the first 16 indictments of Russians. One of the companies they named didn’t even exist until after the time frame in which they allegedly committed crimes. Another company has aggressively answered the bogus charges against them. Therefore setting Mueller into full panic mode because he had no evidence against them.

Ahle goes on to note, “Then Putin hit Mueller with the knockout blow, suggesting that the US intelligence agents had helped Bill Browder funnel 1.5 billion dollars out of Russia, with 400 million being rerouted to the Hillary campaign. He asked for Mueller’s help in investigating the matter.”

Who is Bill Browder?

Politifact’s Jon Greenberg reports:

The Russians say that Browder and his partners at Ziff Brothers Investments, a New York venture capital firm, illegally syphoned billions of rubles out of the country.

In the 2016 election cycle, Ziff Brothers Investments gave $1.7 million. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, nearly two-thirds, or about $1.1 million, went to Democratic committees, and the rest to Republicans.

The center listed the firm’s top recipients:

Recipient Amount
DNC Services Corp $296,966
Senate Majority PAC $250,000
Defending Main Street $200,000
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Cmte $40,000
Democratic State Central Cmte/Louisiana $35,412
National Republican Congressional Cmte $32,400
Democratic Party of Montana $28,622
Democratic Executive Cmte of Florida $27,287
Democratic Party of New Hampshire $27,287
Democratic Party of Virginia $27,287
Democratic Party of Wisconsin $27,287
Georgia Federal Elections Cmte $27,287

Greenberg concluded:

Putin said associates of Bill Browder gave $400 million to the Clinton campaign. The associates appear to be the Ziff brothers. According to public data, Ziff Brothers Investments gave about $315,000 to Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.

Overall, the firm gave about $1.1 million to Democratic committees around the country.

Democrat Senator Worries His Party Is Going Too Far Left

Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., is worried his party is alienating moderate voters by moving too far to the left.

“If we as a Democratic Party are going to move from a minority at every level that is dedicated to resistance, to a majority that is capable of governing, we have got to move from grievance to optimism,” Coons said in a speech on Thursday, according to U.S. News and World Report.

“And we’ve got to abandon a politics of anxiety that is characterized by wild-eyed proposals and instead deliver ideas and practical solutions.”

Coons also warned that the growing Democratic push to abolish Immigration and Customs and Enforcement, which enforces the nation’s immigration laws, is counterproductive.

“Abolish ICE is too easily mocked as open borders and no law enforcement,” the senator warned.

“Instead of having something that makes a Twitter hashtag and gets you on Rachel Maddow and fires people up, we need to have something that fires people up and is a policy position we can actually defend.”

“Forty percent of voters self-identify as pragmatic or moderate. We cannot abandon them,” he added.

Coons’ caution comes as the far-left Democratic base is pressuring the party’s leaders to endorse a radical immigration agenda.

A Dem Outlook for November

Here’s a word I never thought anyone would use to describe Senator Dianne Feinstein: “moderate.” But that’s the political twilight zone Democrats find themselves in, now that 28-year-old socialists are heaving the party Left. In California, where the oldest member of the U.S. Senate couldn’t even win her party’s endorsement, people are starting to wonder: could this gamble cost Democrats the midterms?

For Feinstein, the party’s decision to back Kevin de León was even more remarkable this time around, since she trounced him by more than 30 percent in last month’s primaries. Even so, California Democrats announced over the weekend that they were sticking with their guy, insisting that the five-term Feinstein was too much of a “centrist.” That’s news to most of us, who’ve never mistaken anti-gun, pro-abortion, anti-family orthodoxy as anything remotely resembling conservatism. This is, as one California political scientist point out, “the strongest signal yet of just how far to the left California’s Democratic activists have moved, how emboldened they are…” But, as he and others caution, just because the state party is endorsing this over-the-top extremism doesn’t mean American voters are.

“It’s only a signal about the party’s most activist core,” said the University of California’s Thad Kousser, “not a sign that everyday voters are choosing a pure progressive over a pragmatist.” Already, the party’s candidates in other areas are panicking. They see this abandonment of Feinstein as a warning: move Left or move out. Some Democratic House candidates fired off a letter to the California state party, pointing out the devastating ripple effect of their over-the-top extremism. “A divisive party endorsement for U.S. Senate would hurt all down-ballot candidates and our ability to turn out Democrats we desperately need to vote in November,” they caution.

That’s because de León isn’t your garden-variety progressive. This is a candidate, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who would out-radicalize Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with his campaign to impeach Trump, socialize health care, and open the borders. And while his agenda might attract big party donors, it’s bound to cause a huge split with heartland Democrats who are begging the DNC to get back to basics. When your own party argues you’re “lazy,” “out of touch with mainstream America,” and relying on “too much identity politics” where “winners and losers are picked by their labels” — you’re in trouble.

But that’s the sort of desperation President Trump’s success has created for Democrats. It’s sort of a “derangement syndrome,” John Fund writes, “pushing many [Democrats] into positions that may play well with their base but that will be problematic if they become associated with the party in general elections. Socialized medicine, abolishing ICE, identity politics, political correctness, and sky-high tax rates may quicken the pulse of those who see themselves leading the class struggle.”

Even the more liberal members of the Senate worry where decisions like California’s might lead. This “rift in the nation’s party’s direction,” Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) warns, carries with it some significant risks. The party, he urged, needs to stress “pragmatic ideas,” not “pie-in-the-sky” policies that “might sound great in a tweet, like free college and free health care” (a jab at Ocasio-Cortez’s unrealistic promises). Like a lot of people, he wonders if the Democrats are betting the midterms on a platform light years to the Left of most Americans.

The latest numbers from Brookings would certainly suggest they are. Despite the rise of progressive House candidates (280 this year compared to 97 in 2016), the Establishment is still winning when it counts. “Of course many of the progressive non-incumbents are first-time candidates,” the group explains, “inspired by Bernie Sanders and turned off by Donald Trump. If they stay in politics many of them may do better in future races. But for now their record is… not great.” The more important takeaway for Republicans is this: “Progressive Democrats may not be winning a civil war inside the party. But, if and when Democrats have a chance at power again, progressives will have moved them on some pretty big issues.”

If a woman who’s taken a blowtorch to the First and Second Amendments, declared Christians unfit for public office, and supported partial-birth abortion isn’t liberal enough for the Democratic Party, then it’s a brave new world indeed. Meanwhile, if conservatives want to hang on to their majority, the solution is obvious: be more intentional than ever about highlighting the Grand Canyon-sized gaps in the two parties’ values. In a country that rejected the leftward lurch of Obama, it’s the clearest path to victory.

Associated Press: The Shadow Media Giant Bolstering Democrats

When conservatives consider media bias, they invariably jump to mainstream outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and so on.

But what is often overlooked is the Associated Press, or AP, which indisputably has the biggest media impact because its stories run in virtually every daily newspaper and news network in the country including the New York Times and Washington Post, CNN and so on.

People often complain about a story in the Times or Post or elsewhere, but it turns out to be an AP story. But that is only known by looking under the name of the byline of the reporter or the tagline or citation of a video. Most media consumers don’t do that.

But the reach of the AP is staggering. Just hidden. According to the organization’s annual report, the AP:

  • Produces 2,000 stories every day
  • Operates bureaus in more than 100 countries
  • Has reporters in every state capital
  • Is used in 900 newsrooms around the world
  • And of course, has social media reach of 12 million Twitter followers and 2 billion Youtube views. In this case, social media is small compared to the intra-media impact.

The bottom line: more than half the world’s population sees content from the Associated Press every day. No other media outlet can touch this reach. Most people just don’t realize it because the AP is not it’s own media brand. It’s a consortium. And every bit as hyper-liberal as the brand names it provides content to.

The AP is a not-for-profit headquartered in New York City. The AP, founded in 1846, is owned by its contributing newspapers and radio and television stations. It operates as a cooperative association. The AP “wire” carries stories from its contributors, but it generates nearly 15,000 stories weekly. It also sells content to other media organizations not in its consortium.

This gigantic mainstream media collective of thousands of journalists around the world is a major contributor to the deep bias and decline in journalistic standards.

Consider just a few of the most egregious examples from this year:

▇ Headline: “AP NewsBreak: US Army quietly discharging immigrant recruits”

The most recent is maybe the most outrageous. It looks pretty bad from the headline. But really, this is the normal vetting policy the Army always does on recruits — looking for anything from terrorist connections, to MS-13 or other gang activity to mental issues to anything subversive. The AP was looking into a program instituted during the George W. Bush administration, which gives “expedited naturalization” for legal immigrants who enlist in the military and receive an honorable discharge. Obviously looking to bolster military recruitment after 9-11.

The AP reports 110,000 recruits completed the program and received naturalization in the 16 years that the program has existed. But Trump nefariousness must be found. The AP actually has no data at all. They talked to some immigration attorneys who told them “they know of more than 40 who have been discharged or whose status has become questionable.” They do not provide a timeframe — three months? Two years?

Finally, the AP reported (admitted): “the AP was unable to quantify how many men and women who enlisted through the special recruitment program have been booted from the Army…”

Obviously anytime thousands of people must pass a background check, some don’t. There was simply no story here and the AP all but admits it in buried caveats. In fact, they can’t even document there was one discharged. Nonetheless, they still ran it with their inflammatory headline, and of course papers around the country published it.

▇ Headline: “Trump budget would gut science, environment programs”

The headline is bad enough, but frankly, it’s the normal mainstream-media gruel when Republican budgets are announced. They typically look immediately for how cuts will hurt women, minorities and the poor. But the agenda lately is to make Trump and Republicans appear to be Neanderthals.

The lead to the story makes that perfectly clear:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s proposed budget would gut programs for science and the environment, reflecting the Republican’s rejection of mainstream science.

Not a whole lot more needs to be said. The AP importantly for their agenda connects President Trump’s correct suspicions about global warming data to the Republican Party by getting that in the lead to ensure that everyone is smeared — when that would never be the case in the few negative stories the AP did about Obama

Just awful. And on purpose.

▇ Headline: “Minorities hear division in Trump call for unity”

This story was from the State of the Union, in which one Democrat actually ran out of the House during Trump’s speech. The speech was warmly received by most Americans who watched it — at least until the spinners at the AP started their “reporting.”

Here’s the lead:

“President Donald Trump’s call for American unity in his first State of the Union address struck an us-versus-them tone for many minorities, raising questions as to what extent Americans are put off by a leader who continually draws criticism as bigoted and xenophobic.”

Questions by whom? Well, the AP doesn’t say. The safe bet, however, is: AP reporters and editors!

“For many people of color, Trump’s address before Congress on Tuesday night hardly reflected a shift in his ideology or his bruising style of governance. To them, the president simply softened what he’s been saying all along, particularly when it comes to immigration, and sought to add a veneer of tolerance by using the stories of people of color to illustrate his points…In taking credit for a drop in black unemployment…”

A “veneer of tolerance” is a phrase that would never get past a professional editor who wanted an unbiased story. Obviously that is pure opinion. Same with “taking credit for a drop in black unemployment.” As if the AP ever said Obama “took credit” for stabilizing financial markets — which he did even though they were already stable once he entered office.

We could do this all day with AP stories. The head-shaking part is that most of these journalists don’t even see it. They have so come to equate the progressive, Democratic worldview with good journalism, they often cannot identify their own biases — which are blatant to the rest of us.

Yet their overt biases are every bit as bad as the brand name Democratic/media organs, but even more influential. They’re just lost in the shadows.
