FL Senator Joe Gruters Visits U.S. – Mexico Border says ‘Make no mistake: the crisis is real.’

In an email to constituents Florida Senator Joe Gruters stated:

“I just returned from the US-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas where I witnessed firsthand the illegal immigration crisis threatening our nation. Make no mistake: the crisis is real.”

“In fact, I believe every member of Congress should be required to visit the border before spouting off partisan rhetoric on the subject.”

Senator Gruters posted the below video of his trip to the border on the Florida Politics YouTube channel:

Senator Gruters announced that he will be conducting a statewide listening tour later this month with Jacksonville Rep. Cord Byrd to hear directly from Floridians on the issue of immigration.

“I don’t believe we should ever compromise when it comes to enacting common sense policies that promote public safety and uphold the laws of the land,” said Gruters. “I want to hear straight from Floridians and listen to their ideas on what additional reforms they’d like to see the legislature address next session.”

Original clip on Sky News.

Fast forward to June 30, 2019 when Michelle Malkin published the below video of Andy Ngo being assaulted by Antifa.

Malkin wrote:

This is video from a new angle of the brutal assault on journalist Andy Ngo in Portland, Oregon on June 29, 2019 as police did nothing. It shows the exact moment when an Antifa thug robbed Andy of his GoPro camera and equipment, as well as another Antifa criminal punching Andy in the face with appear to be weighted Oakley assault gloves and frontal views of the Antifa thug who kicked Andy in the groin.

:17 ASSAULT GLOVES

See this thread for full accounting of 12 Antifa assailants.

The recent attack against Andy proves he is correct. Antifa is a group that holds the City of Portland hostage. Portland is an Antifa no-go zone.

Dems Determined to Leave America Borderless. And hence, defenseless.

The quintessential example of “Chutzpah” is the young man who kills both of his parents and then pleads for mercy arguing that he is an orphan.

The Democrats have succeeded in providing an even more egregious example of demonstrating chutzpah by betraying their oaths of office and betraying their constituents and, indeed, all Americans.

The official report, 9/11 and  Terrorist Travel begins with the following paragraph:

It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one.

The Democrats continue to refuse to provide the funding for DHS to address the border crisis that exists along the dangerous and highly porous U.S./Mexican border while complaining about the conditions in which illegal aliens, particularly alien children, are being housed in detention facilities that were never designed to handle the number of aliens currently being housed within their over-crowded confines.

On June 25, 2019 Fox News reported, “Dem-led House passes $4.5B bill to aid migrants at border, setting up showdown with GOP-led Senate.”

While the Democrats balk at the funding of a border wall that would deter the massive tsunami of unprecedented levels of illegal immigration and drug smuggling, their “leaders” are happy to spend huge sums of tax-payer provided cash on caring for illegal aliens who should not be here in the first place!

Of course I would be remiss if I fail to point out that the money for the border wall and other immigration law enforcement efforts was not provided by the Republicans when they controlled the House of Representatives, either.

Here is how that report began:

The House approved a $4.5 billion supplemental spending bill on Tuesday night to address humanitarian issues at the U.S.-Mexico border and to provide additional funding for food, water, medical services and stronger protections for unaccompanied children, among other things — setting up a showdown between the Democrat-led House and the Republican-led Senate.

The House bill, which passed 230-195, included specifics that would prevent the Trump administration from allowing any funding to go toward beefing up Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel at the border, likely to become a point of contention with Republicans.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has outrageously and disgustingly compared immigration detention facilities with “Concentration Camps.”  In one fell swoop she managed to trivialize the Holocaust, stopping just short of denying that it even happened and comparing valiant immigration law enforcement officers with the Gestapo of Third Reich notoriety.

She co-opted the expression “Never again” that is the rallying cry to make certain that a Holocaust is never again permitted to occur, and has now voted against the spending bill that would fund any ICE- related functions, calling for the total dismantling of ICE, a sentiment echoed by many of her Democrat “fellow travelers.”

That she could make such outrageous remarks difficult enough to accept, but that Pelosi and Nadler, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and a Jew, have refused to call her out but actually ran to her defense is beyond any comprehension!

As an American, as a Jew and as a retired INS Agent I am triply infuriated by Ocasio-Cortez’s statements.

To provide a bit of clarity:

The Third Reich used its soldiers to round up citizens of the countries where the concentration camps existed.  They were deemed “undesirable.”  These troops would pull their victims, men, women and children out of their homes at gun point and transport them to the Nazi concentration camps that are also appropriately referred to as “Death Camps.”

The victims of the Holocaust who were held in the concentration camps were turned into slaves to build the Nazi war machine and, when through overwork and starvation became ill and unable to work, were slaughtered.

Other victims of the Holocaust were used as the subject of barbaric and horrific medical experimentation.

Many concentration camps had crematoria that operated constantly to incinerate the remains of the inmates, most often Jews.

Although the mainstream media has been quick to refer to the illegal aliens being held in immigration detention centers as “migrants” and “immigrants” and “asylum seekers,” they blithely ignore that these individuals are aliens who are illegally present in the Untied States.

Some “Migrant Workers” who toil on American farms are actually United States citizens.  The term migrant refers to workers who travel from job to job irrespective of immigration status.

Immigration detention centers exist solely to prevent illegal aliens from being able to gain access to our nation.  These aliens are held to protect national security, public safety, public health and the well being of America and Americans.

Most of the aliens who apply for asylum disappear within the interior of the United States when their applications are denied- not because the United States lacks compassion, but because their applications for asylum lack merit.

Many of these hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are not criminals but should be thought of as economic refugees who will flood America with cheap exploitable labor, thereby displacing American and lawful immigrant workers.  Many will seek health care and various costly benefits and education for their children further burdening our public school systems that already lack the resources to provide quality education for hapless American and lawful immigration children.

Some may suffer from dangerous communicable diseases threatening public health.  And finally some may well be aliens with criminal histories and/or affiliation with violent gangs and narcotics trafficking organizations.  Finally, some may be involved with terrorism and may be “sleeper agents” seeking the opportunity to embed themselves in the United States until called upon to carry out a deadly attack or are tasked with a preparatory assignment to scope our locations, seek to recruit others or commit crimes to fund terrorism.  This is not conjecture by are issues that were raised during a series of congressional hearings conducted even before the terror attacks of 9/11.

Yet funding has never been provided to effectively enforce our nation’s immigration laws.

Having raised the nexus between failures of the immigration system and terrorism at the beginning of my commentary, it is important to note that on June 25, 2019 Fox News reported, “Sept. 11 first responders call sit-down with McConnell ‘one of the best meetings we’ve had.’”

Here is how the report ended:

The House Judiciary Committee passed a reauthorization bill for the 9/11 Victims’ Compensation Fund on Wednesday, where it will now move to the full House and is expected to pass with bipartisan support.

Advocates have rallied to keep the bill alive until 2090, the expected lifespan of first responders who developed illnesses from inhaling toxic fumes during recovery efforts and while clearing rubble at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa. following the terrorist attacks in 2001.

More than 2,000 firefighters, police officers, federal agents and other first responders have died from 9/11-related diseases and that number is expected to climb over time, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s World Trade Center Health Program.

Critics have opposed making the bill open-ended, while advocates have cited the terminal illnesses that many first responders continue to face. More than 40,000 people have applied to the fund and over $5 billion in benefits have been awarded out of the $7.4 billion fund with about 21,000 claims still pending.

The slogan “Never forget” that implores and exhorts us and our leaders to make certain that America is kept safe from future terror attacks, is being completely ignored by politicians who refuse to fund meaningful immigration law enforcement.

These politicians are willfully undermining national security and public safety.

Soviet Socialism in the 21st Century — Part 2

Marxist theory, which opened Pandora’s Box in the 19th century in Europe, marched across the globe during the 20th century. Marxism had a dramatic impact on life in this world. Aggressive mob leaders fed on the public disorder and violence and their leadership produced the first socialist revolution in France. This was the period of the “Paris Commune” with enormous casualties which then failed very quickly. Those events were followed by socialist revolts in Hungary and German Bavaria. Both of them failed as well. Western civilization rejected their violent and destructive ideology–capitalism continued its development in those countries.

I agree with Nietzsche that the envy of the poor is usually the main impulse to revolt. Furthermore, history shows that the leadership of any political movement plays a crucial role in shaping the outcome of a revolt–Lenin is a prime example of that concept, contrary to Marx’s “Marxist theory can be applied only to industrially develop European countries…. “ Any popular revolt was used by adventurers, charlatans, and criminals to acquire power, to fool, mislead, manipulate, and then to abuse, corrupt, and exploit people around the globe. The one leader who had all these negative human characteristics was Joseph Stalin of Russia.

Ironically, despite not meeting the requirements of any of Marx’s four postulates, the first Socialist Revolution took power in 1917 Russia. To the contrary by perverting all of them while at the same time using Marxist rhetoric to further his ends, Joseph Stalin created his own ideology and established a criminal syndicate, a totalitarian terror-machine called Soviet Socialism… For decades this aggressive and expansionist ideology was corrupting, abusing, and defrauding people of the world. This is one of the main reasons I am renaming Soviet Socialism as Soviet Fascism…

A Malignant Regime of Political Correctness

If you are watching the discussions on TV and radio today, you will be overwhelmed by the variety of opinions on how to deal with Terrorism, al-Qaeda, ISIS, Syria, Iran and Russia. Yet, all the participant PhD’s, Generals, politicians, and journalists are missing the major topic, the root cause of all events in the world–Stalin and Soviet Socialism. And, who was the author and architect of Political Correctness? We, people emigrated from Russia and other former Socialist countries know well Political Correctness–we lived through it half of our adult lives. It is a Stalinist policy, driven by a political agenda, a skillfully crafted design and a long-term strategy of war against Western civilization and the creation of a One World Socialist Government under the Kremlin’s rule.

Today America is stunned by two stories that bespeak the “achievements” of Political Correctness. The first story is the sad picture of a drowned Father and daughter at our border with Mexico. For your information the Muslim invasion in Europe was perpetrated by the Russian Intel, as well as all Caravans on our Southern border. The second story is Google’s promise to stop Trump’s 2020 reelection. The story has the same culprit. Read my column Soviet Fascism in America: Guard Your Freedoms. Yes, both stories are the confirmation of the war waged by the Socialist mafia to change our value system, to stop the social mobility of capitalism, to lower the standards of morality in our culture, and to sabotage the political system left to us by our Founding Fathers.

When my proficiency in English allowed me to grasp the current politics, I was stunned by the deeply rooted Political Correctness in America. How could that happen? Where was the usual common sense of the nation? Where were all American intelligence agencies? If logically, ‘Knowledge is Power’, we have permitted Political Correctness to allow Ignorance to rein in America… And that makes me angry, because I have spent thirty years of my life and money to give the American people needed knowledge about Russia and Stalin to warn you. But our Intelligence Service sabotaged my books and my numerous articles to block the information conveyed in them. Yet nothing can stop me in my mission to provide you with the Truth, because I believe there will be a major American re-awakening in the era of Trump’s Presidency…

So, you are perhaps asking yourself: what does Political Correctness have to do with everyday life of the American people or with our national security? It has to do with everything and it affects the life of each citizen of America, because Political Correctness is a central part of the ongoing asymmetrical war of Socialism against Western civilization waged under Russia’s supervision. I researching the subject, academia presented only a surface commentary and a vague interpretation on the matter. To present a credible explanation, I had to find a linguistic and historical definition of Political Correctness. Finally, I found explanation more close to reality that gave the concept itself and the period of the history in which it was born. Timing is the key issue to comprehend the subject.

“In the early-to-mid 20th century, contemporary uses of the phrase “Politically Correct” were associated with the dogmatic application of Stalinist doctrine, debated between formal Communists (members of the Communist Party) and Socialists.” Encyclopedia.

Moreover, I found an informed man: “In the early-to-mid 20th century, contemporary uses of the phrase “Politically Correct” were associated with the dogmatic application of Stalinist doctrine, debated between formal communists (members of the Communist Party) and socialists. The phrase was a colloquialism referring to the communist party line, which provided for “correct” positions on many matters of politics, according to American educator Herbert Kohl writing about debates in New York in the late 1940s and early 1950s.” Thank you Herbert Kohl, you knew the truth seventy years ago. Alas, contemporary academicians don’t even mentioning Stalin and his legacy, discussing politics and economy today.

In order to have an understanding of the topic, you have to know the Soviet history of those days, the real history, not the history presented in the Soviet books. As you know, I am a child of Stalinism, I lived through that history. The timing–”In the early—to- mid 20th century” is telling you almost everything–at the time, Stalin was building his cult of personality and one party system of Soviet Socialism in the country. All the methods and devices were directed to those goals.

It should be mentioned that in 1923 prior to Lenin’s death, as leader of the Revolution, he stated that Russia was an agricultural country and it can’t go down the Marxist path. After Lenin’s death in 1924, Stalin began the immediate elimination of all political opposition–leaders and people from different parties with political agendas contrary to his. Nobody could compete with him in the art of double-dealing and intrigue. Trotsky was the first target, exiled by 1927. Stalin called him a “Fascist,” and the elimination of the Bolsheviks was begun.

The liquidation of the leaders was going on at full speed. The history of that time tells the methods, tools, and devices the Stalinist regime used to liquidate millions of innocents–Show Trials, Purges, Gulags, imprisonments, deportations to Siberia and Central Asia, and many other horrifying methods. Yet, his first method was—Political Correctness. The first stage of Stalin’s system was designed to affect human minds: Political Correctness. That’s right, the same Political Correctness we have been talking about in America for the last three decades was Stalin’s invention aimed at his opposition and ultimately at the destruction of Western civilization and the American Republic, left to us by our Founding Fathers…

 “… Political correctness is a Stalinist policy, driven by the political agenda, a skillfully crafted design of a quintessential system of lies, fraud, and a long-term strategy of war against Western civilization to create of One World Socialist Government under Kremlin’s rule.”

Political Correctness was Stalinist social engineering using semantics, to use and affect the human emotional core, with touching scenes that play on your emotions, while deceiving you. I dedicated pages to give you examples of Political Correctness in Socialist Lies: Please, read Chapter 29 to learn how Political Correctness operates and how the Democrat’s policy of abortion was using Stalinist methods against Republicans to lower the standards of morality in our country. As a psychological method, Stalin’s Political Correctness has helped Democrats to fool and deceive you, using a cosmetic definition of Socialism, created by socialist-professors, contrary to existing knowledge of the source of PC in the 1950s.

Ideas are not spreading by wind or air–people disseminate them. Unfortunately, Republicans and our Media are focused on the ideology and agenda of Saul Alinsky, who is only one example of Stalin’s agents of influence (KGB political operatives). In fact, there are thousands of them, spreading and implementing the Stalinist concepts. Look at our culture: what we used to define as the greatness of America now is under siege–the heroes have become criminals, the criminals become heroes, like in the Soviet Union. We are destroying historic buildings and monuments, revising history of America, as it was in Russia under Stalin.

Remember the agenda, essence and devices of Political Correctness to cover-up the Truth by propagating Stalinist ideology with arsenal of different devices: lies, fraud, deceit, distortion, fabrication, perjury, and so on to substitute the Truth with the process. It is a process of diverting you attention from the important issues by the cascades of lies and fraud: climate change, the “Green New Deal” –a colossal fraud aimed at stopping the social mobility of Trump’s capitalism. We have only 24/7, and AOC and others are providing us with one absurdity after another to occupy our time with fraud.  Just look back at the Obama administration and you will find the exact formula of the Stalinist Political Correctness in the 21st century. I hope Attorney General will expose the actors of that historic fraud…

Another Root of Soviet Fascism—Vicious Violence

In this respect, it should be mentioned that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, nothing substantial was changed in Russia, except the name of a country. We are dealing now with the Russian Federation under the leadership of a former KGB counterintelligence officer Vladimir Putin. The old regime of the Soviet System is running the country: Socialist economy that had collapsed was replaced by oligarchic-crony capitalism under the KGB’s leadership. Moreover, a substantial number of problems continue to plague the world as they have for a hundred years—Soviet Socialism is fighting capitalism of Western civilization and its bastion, the American Republic. Writing about that for a long time and analyzing the current events, I have renamed Soviet Socialism as Soviet Fascism.

As nothing has changed in Russia, I am using the term KGB, uniting the images of all Soviet/Russian agencies—as the term is familiar to Americans. The entire Russian Intel is a para-military apparatus under a military Doctrine. It is for that reason, I have been writing about former KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov and his Operation Barbarossa, a design to simultaneously penetrate America’s social media and the top brass of America’s security apparatus by KGB’ political operatives, agents of influence, as Stalin called them. Read my description of Andropov’s Operation Barbarossa to grasp the America’s predicament in the 21st century…

Andropov was a conduit between Stalin and Putin and as a devoted disciple of Andropov. Putin, a counterintelligence officer, was very successful as an agent of influence in Germany, penetrating deeply the entire government. It is not a coincident that we can’t recognize Truman Party any longer: Putin’s friends from the KGB had been working very hard for the last several decades to repeat the German experiment in America. Putin hates successful capitalist-Trump and never helped him in any way—he, in fact, has had a long alliance and bond with the Clinton Mafia. Get it? Watching contemporary predicament in America you will be the Judges…

Only now we can go to the second stage of the Stalinist system: it was an appalling and revolting excessive use of violence. And if you read my books and columns, you know the “criminal cabal” of the Soviet System—the KGB and other agencies of the Russian Intel that carried out those methods. You will be surprised, as I found some similarity of the KGB methods used by our American Intel lately. I have already written about that in my 20-25 latest columns. Though we don’t have yet mass deportation of the citizens to Siberia and Tundra, the signs of cultural changes with increased violence are very visible: Antifa, the gangs attacking Trump’s rally, the attempted assassination of Rep. Scalisi, and so on. Those all coming from the Dems. It will worsen at the time of elections–we have a part of the population already inculcated and equipped with Political Correctness.

Just assess the functionality of the American Socialist mafia in the second phase of Stalinist Soviet System. The second phase was possible only after the human brain was psychologically manipulated and equipped with Political Correctness. The multiplicity of inhuman methods used within the Stalinist Soviet system is staggering in its brutality. And if you read my books and columns, you know the “criminal cabal” of the Soviet System—the KGB and other agencies of the Russian Intel that carried out those methods. That was Stalin’s Soviet Socialism fighting the people of Russia to establish the fraud, the only known Socialism practiced in the world…

Fake News is the enemy of the people, because Fake News is nothing other than the old KGB “Operation Disinformation” exercised by the KGB for several decades through the media-mob. It is one of a thousand KGB methods and tricks aimed at subverting capitalism: they have different forms, sizes, and colors, always using lies, intimidation, fraud or threat, and all have the same agenda of dismantling our free market economic system and transform it to control by the government. The execution of this transformation has been going on for the last several decades, now it is in its final stage of preparation for the Socialist revolution in America. The main doer is the Dems’ Socialist Mafia in collaboration with the KGB’s political operatives on our soil.

Yes, Bernie Sanders is a liar–Socialism is not love and compassion it is just the opposite of that—Socialism is corruption, abuse and fraud. Just look at Bernie, who calls himself a Democratic Socialist. The term itself is an oxymoron—a democrat can’t be a socialist, a socialist can’t be democratic. The term reveals a total absence of the knowledge of socialist policy– Socialism means a dictatorship. Authoritarianism in a struggle to end individual liberty and private property, which is the opposite of democracy. Yet the incompetent and timid Republican establishment doesn’t even attempt to argue and reject the fraud. The Trojan Horse Bernie is openly driving us to Socialism, by fooling and deceiving our youngsters…

The Dems agenda and their ideological program are clear to me: they want to change America’s future social development, and stop the social mobility afforded by of capitalism. Just look at the “Green New Deal” –a colossal fraud aimed at bringing the free market economy to its knees, an economy which has already shown its enormous ability to resurrect our nation from Obama’s Socialism. Yet, the Dems demonized capitalism and corporations, they morphs into the party of “Abolish ICE,” “open the borders,” “give away healthcare,” “give away college,” “guarantee everyone a green job,” and a fraud of “reproductive Justice.”

The Democrats openly pronounced all of that during two recent debates.

This is a direct path to a Socialist agenda to demolish and destroy the American Republic: plus also consider Obamacare, copied from the Soviet medical system, provided by the Russian Academy of Science to Obama’s administration. Charlatans in the Democrat Party are the No.1 enemy of the American Republic and Americans! Their methods are easily recognizable: lies, fraud, deceit, cheating, and alike identifying them as charlatans fooling, deceiving, corrupting, and inculcating decent people. I wonder why Democrats hate America the Beautiful and want to dismantle the unique and humane system designed by our Founding Fathers…

The ideology of Soviet fascism and its hatred had been vividly illustrated by two recent Democrat Party debates, demonstrating appalling ignorance in cahoots with arrogance—a very grave combination. The aggressive tone and level of hatred toward contemporary America prevailed on the debates. Have you seen one American flag in the facility? Do you understand now why I renamed Soviet Socialism to Soviet fascism? Without awareness of Soviet fascism on America’s soil, we can lose the American Republic and a political system left to us by our Founding Fathers to Putin’s friends in America.

EDITORS NOTE: According to a 2017 article by Free The Slaves:

There are tens of millions of people trapped in various forms of slavery throughout the world today. Researchers estimate that 40 million are enslaved worldwide, generating $150 billion each year in illicit profits for traffickers.

  • Labor Slavery. About 50 percent toil in forced labor slavery in industries where manual labor is needed—such as farming, ranching, logging, mining, fishing, and brick making—and in service industries working as dish washers, janitors, gardeners, and maids.
  • Sex Slavery. About 12.5 percent are trapped in forced prostitution sex slavery.
  • Forced Marriage Slavery. About 37.5 percent are trapped in forced marriages.
  • Child Slavery. About 25 percent of today’s slaves are children.

Slavery today is a hidden crime, making it harder for the public to see and for those in slavery to call out for help.

Slavery statistics come from the U.N. International Labor Organization, Walk Free and the International Organization for Migration. See our Trafficking and Slavery Fact Sheet for details. 

[ … ]

New slavery has two chief characteristics—it’s cheap and it’s disposable. Slaves today are cheaper than ever. In 1850, an average slave in the American South cost the equivalent of $40,000 in today’s money. Today a slave costs about $90 on average worldwide.

VIDEO: More women died from LEGAL abortion than illegal abortion the year abortion was legalized.

Live Action published the below video with commentary:

“If we make abortion illegal, women will seek dangerous back-alley abortions and deaths will skyrocket.” This is a very common argument used to defend abortion today. But how accurate is it?

Let’s unpack this statement with Dr. Kathi Aultman, former abortionist and Medical Director for Planned Parenthood.

Transcript

If we make abortion illegal, won’t women have dangerous back alley abortions?

I used to think that legal abortion was necessary to protect women from the dangers of illegal abortion. I not only thought that abortion was necessary, I also believed it was a woman’s right. I used to perform 1st trimester suction abortions and 2nd trimester dismemberment abortions, and I felt I was doing something good for women. I was also a medical director for Planned Parenthood for about 2 years. I even had an abortion myself.

I came to realize that the whole idea of keeping abortion legal to protect women’s safety was a lie. With every abortion, I was harming a woman and killing a child.

There is no such thing as a “safe abortion.” One person is killed, and the other is at risk for serious complications, including death. A woman cannot kill her child and remain unharmed.

Historically speaking, legalizing abortion did not make it less deadly for women. From the 1940’s to the 1970’s, deaths of women due to abortion rapidly declined because of better medicine and increased use of antibiotics, not because abortion was made legal.

The widespread belief that tens of thousands of women were dying from illegal abortions was a lie propagated mainly by two individuals. Their names were Larry Lader and Bernard Nathanson, co-founders of NARAL, the National Abortion Rights Action League. Like me, Bernard Nathanson eventually converted from abortionist to pro-life advocate. He admitted, “When we spoke of [deaths due to illegal abortion], it was always 5,000 to 10,000 per year. I confess I knew the figures were totally false.”

Bernard Nathanson, Aborting America (1979)

In 1960, over a decade before the Supreme Court decision Roe v Wade legalized abortion in all 50 states, the Medical Director of Planned Parenthood at the time, Mary Calderone, made this statement, and I quote, “Abortion is no longer a dangerous procedure. In 1957 there were only 260 deaths in the whole country attributed to abortions of any kind. 90 percent of all illegal abortions are presently being done by physicians.” End quote

Illegal Abortion as a Public Health Problem” Mary Calderone. 1960 (Paper presented before the Maternal and Child Health Section of the American Public Health Association at the Eighty Seventh Annual Meeting in Atlantic City, N.J. October 19, 1959.

In 1972, the year before Roe v Wade, 39 women died from illegal abortion, and 24 women died from legal abortion. In 1973, the year of Roe v Wade, 19 women died from illegal abortion, and 25 women died from legal abortion. So, in the year that abortion was nationally legalized, more women died from legal abortion than illegal abortion.

The truth is that whether it is legal or illegal, abortion poses long term physical and emotional harm for women, including an increased risk of suicide, future infertility, pregnancy loss, and damage to her internal organs. Women still die from legal abortion today. Tonya Reaves and Cree Erwin are two women who recently died from legal abortions at Planned Parenthood.

Despite legalized abortion, the United States maternal mortality rate is HIGHER than that of nations with MORE restrictive abortion laws. The United States has a maternal mortality rate of around 14 deaths per 100,000 live births, but in Poland, for example, where abortion is illegal except in rare cases, the maternal mortality rate is only 3 deaths per 100,000 live births. Or Malta, where abortion is illegal for any reason, the maternal mortality rate is only 9 deaths per 100,000 live births.

Induced Abortion: Risks That May Impact Adolescents, Young Adults, and Their Children

Maternal mortality ratio (modeled estimate, per 100,000 live births)

After Roe v Wade, the number of abortions in the United States skyrocketed. As of today, over 60 million children have been legally killed by abortion. The reality is, legalizing abortion has not made abortion safer – it has only led to the deaths of more children and has harmed more women. This doesn’t need to continue, however. If we truly care about the safety of women and their children, then we should make abortion illegal.

The Humanitarian Hoax of Ballot Harvesting: Killing America With Kindness

The Humanitarian Hoax is a deliberate and deceitful tactic of presenting a destructive policy as altruistic. The humanitarian huckster presents himself as a compassionate advocate when in fact he is the disguised enemy.

Harvesting is defined as collecting or obtaining a resource for future use. We commonly equate harvesting with agricultural crops – but in the 21st century harvesting has far more to do with political crops – the resource is votes.

Ballot harvesting is like the Greek hydra – the many headed snake whose heads grew as they were cut off. So, let’s examine the heads of this ballot harvesting Democrat hydra.

Ballot harvesting is defined  as the political jargon for a practice in which organized workers or volunteers collect absentee ballots from certain voters and drop them off at a polling place or election office. WHAT?

Let’s review. In ballot harvesting someone picks up someone else’s ballots and drop them off somewhere else? Any voter who has ever voted in person knows that great care is taken to secure the confidentiality of voters and the legitimacy of their votes. Ballots are filled out in the privacy of a voting booth, placed into a secrecy envelope, and then hand delivered by the voter into a machine that automatically pulls the ballot into itself. No one besides the voter touches his ballot – the ballot chain is unbroken.

Voting is the most sacred of rights guaranteed by our Constitution and is protected at every point in the voting process. The idea that organized workers pick up ballots and drop them off at a polling place or election office is equivalent to a broken chain of evidence in a criminal jury trial. When the chain is broken the evidence is inadmissible because it may have been tampered with.

Anyone with a functioning brain cell understands that ballot harvesting is an invitation for voter fraud because the ballot chain is broken.

Ballot harvesting is the first head of the hydra, next are unclean voting rolls. Tom Fitton, executive president of Judicial Watch, has demonstrated that under Obama the voter rolls were not updated, so dead people were still on the rolls, and people who had moved away were still listed, and illegals were voting. This is the second head on the hydra of voter fraud.

In 2012, Obama’s corrupt attorney general Eric Holder actually sued Florida “to block its efforts to purge its voter rolls of dead people and non-U.S. citizens and to stop further attempts before the November 2012 presidential election.”

Tom Fitton just won a huge case in California in which Los Angeles County has sent notices to 1.5 million inactive voters. This is the first step toward removing ineligible voters from the voter rolls. Los Angeles County with over 10 million residents, had allowed more than 20% of its registered voters to remain inactive without removing them from the voter list as required by law. California had not cleaned its voter rolls in 20 years!

Purging inactive voters is critical to the integrity of elections because maintaining accurate voter registration lists insures that eligible voters cast a single ballot in their proper jurisdiction.

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) allows states to remove voters who have not voted in two consecutive federal general elections and have failed to respond to a confirmation notice from an elections office. Voters are also removed from the list who are convicted felons, have died, moved to a different jurisdiction, are mentally incompetent, or request removal themselves.

The National Voter Registration Act is often called the “motor voter” law because it provides provisions for voter registration at local Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) offices. That brings us to the third head on the hydra of voter fraud.

New York recently made it lawful for illegal aliens to receive drivers licenses. This makes it extremely easy to implement the next incremental step for Democrats to harvest votes – allowing illegals to legally vote. EXCUSE ME? Yes, the leftist Democrats leading the party want illegal aliens to vote – of course they do – illegals will vote for Democrats and keep them in power for the foreseeable future.

A June 19, 2019 Breitbart article explains,

“In New York, U.S. citizens only need a driver’s license to register to vote and though applicants are required to swear that they are eligible to vote, state election officials told the Post that ‘it’s basically and honor system.’”

HONOR SYSTEM? Illegals are in this country illegally! How can an honor system possibly apply?

The humanitarian hoax of ballot harvesting is an assault on the Constitution because its objective is to make citizenship irrelevant by giving ILLEGAL aliens the same rights as legal citizens. This is how it works.

Democrats wail about inhumane conditions at the southern border. They deliberately ignore the fact that illegal alien parents are responsible for putting their children at risk by attempting to ILLEGALLY enter the United States.

During the Obama years, for twenty months from January, 2009 until November, 2010, the Democrats held both houses of Congress and the presidency. For twenty months they chose to ignore the growing border crisis and its humanitarian consequences. In fact, it was Obama who put illegal alien children in cages.

Now, with an upcoming election, the Democrats find it politically expedient to weep about housing and medical care for illegals. Housing for illegals? Medical care for illegals? What about housing and medical care for legal citizens of the United States who are struggling financially? No matter – the Democrats do not care about legal citizens because their goal is harvesting ballots through illegal immigration.

Remember, harvesting is the practice of collecting or obtaining a resource for future use. Illegal aliens are a bonanza for Democrats because they are the biggest resource for future votes imaginable. Democrats do not care if the massive invasion at the border collapses the welfare system – they want to collapse the system. It is the Cloward and Piven strategy for social chaos and economic collapse that precedes socialism. Let me explain.

President Trump’s America-first presidency and economic policies have been so successful that the Democrats cannot possibly collapse the economy any other way. The mass invasion of illegals into the country serve a dual purpose – collapsing our booming economy and harvesting votes for Democrats.

In case there is anyone who actually believes that having illegal aliens overrun and collapse the U.S. economy is a good thing – let’s talk about what will happen if this invasion is not stopped.

If Democrats are not stopped, and they succeed in ballot harvesting to win the 2020 election, the invasion on our southern border will continue. The massive influx of illegal immigrants will overwhelm and necessarily collapse the social welfare system, then social chaos and riots will follow. When the country becomes ungovernable Martial law will be declared. At that point socialism will be imposed in preparation for the final objective – one world government. The leftist Democrats screaming for open borders and socialism are the useful idiots for the globalist elites who finance their political campaigns and anti-American policies.

Globalists have a singular objective – one world government ruled by themselves of course.

Before any voter is foolish enough to buy into the con of leftist Democrats promoting socialism and open borders let’s examine socialism. First, free stuff is never free. You pay with your freedom. So, let’s discuss freedom.

In socialist countries the government owns all production and is in charge of distributing whatever is produced. There is no private ownership. This means there is no middle class or upward mobility in socialism because there is no private property. The Democrat candidates hawking socialism never mention these critical details.

The humanitarian hoax of ballot harvesting is an insidious power grab by leftist Democrats intent on using illegal aliens for votes. If the leftist Democrats succeed in their power-grab and win the 2020 election, the United States of America will cease to be a free country.

Socialism is just a variation on the feudal structure of a very small ruling elite at the top of the social pyramid and a very large population of slaves at the bottom who service them. There is no middle class in feudalism – there is no freedom – there are only masters and slaves.

Be careful who you vote for in 2020. Leftism is the path to socialism, and socialism is the path to feudalism.

Choose freedom and vote for our America-first President Donald Trump. Choose freedom to protect our sovereignty and precious Constitution that guarantees our liberties – including our property rights. In a free country we belong to ourselves and are not vassals of the state.

93 year old Holocaust survivor wants AOC out of Congress ‘given ‘Nobel Prize in stupidity’ for concentration camp comments.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is one of the most powerful Democrats in congress today. She was invited to visit a concentration camp by a 93 year old survivor after her concentration camp remark. She refused, claiming the unspeakable horrors this 93 year old survivor mentioned was part of a  “far right ” plot against her.

Read the interview and explain to the American people why the Democrat leadership and so many members of congress have embraced AOC a virulent Holocaust denier and anti-Semite making her one of the most powerful people in the Democrat Party . The Democrat Party of my youth no longer exists.

This is what this 93 year old Holocaust survivor has to say:

93-year-old Holocaust survivor wants AOC out of congress, given ‘Nobel Prize in stupidity’ for concentration camp comments

“She doesn’t want to learn — she’s looking for excuses.”

While Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and her friends in the media, are quintupling down on comparing American detention facilities to concentration camps, a survivor of the real concentration camps in Nazi Germany is livid, and speaking out.

Ed Mosberg is 93 years old, and is one of the few people still alive who survived the Nazi camps. He lives in Morris Plains, NJ, and he spoke to the New York Post about the freshman congresswoman’s comments.

“She should be removed from Congress. She’s spreading anti-Semitism, hatred and stupidity,” he said to the paper. “The people on the border aren’t forced to be there — they go there on their own will. If someone doesn’t know the difference, either they’re playing stupid or they just don’t care.”

Confused by All the Presidential Candidates?

Confused by all the presidential candidates? Here’s where you can find information about each candidates’ national security and foreign policy ideas:

President Donald Trump, the all-but-certain Republican nominee, has a section of his website about his administration’s national security and defense policies. It can be found here.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the current frontrunner, can obviously be judged by his time in the Obama Administration. You can read about his platform here, but there is not a section about foreign policy or national security aside from mentioning the need to “secure the border.”

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ plan for foreign policy, centered around the objective of combating the “forces of militarism” that keep the U.S. in “unending wars,” can be looked at here.

California Senator Kamala Harris’ vision is to “restore American leadership” globally and reject isolationism, while ending U.S. military involvement in the wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Her foreign policy can be reviewed here.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren says she has a “foreign policy for all” that can be read about here. Her anti-corruption platform also includes banning foreign governments from hiring Washington lobbyists.

She has not said whether this ban would also include foreign organizations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood. It is likely not the case, since at least 10 of the Democratic presidential candidates have lent their support to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim Brotherhood entity.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana served in the war in Afghanistan as an intelligence officer for the Navy. You can read about his security policies here. Unlike most other candidates, he specifically refers to fighting “Islamist-inspired violent extremism.”

New Jersey Senator Cory Booker offers a particularly vague national security strategy that can be read here.

Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke has a foreign policy that is focused primarily on Central America, climate change and nuclear disarmament. The summary can be found here.

Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar has a very short summary of her foreign policy vision here.

Entrepreneur Andrew Yang has a list of over 100 policy proposals, including requiring the vice president to approve any use of nuclear weapons in addition to the commander-in-chief and modernizing military spending by shifting funds to combat “loose nuclear material, cyberterrorism, misinformation and other unconventional attacks.”

Yang’s vague “Foreign Policy First Principles” can be found here.

Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney does not have a foreign policy or national security section on his campaign website. However, he does call for creating a Department of Cybersecurity and starting a national service program, with enlisting in the military as one of the options offered to the youth.

Julian Castro, the former mayor of San Antonio who served as President Obama’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, does not currently have a section about foreign policy or national security on his campaign website.

Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan also does not have a section about foreign policy or national security on his campaign website, though he often makes a point of emphasizing those topics in interviews.

New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has a vague national security section here.

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who served in Iraq as part of the Hawaii Army National Guard, is the candidate who most emphasizes foreign policy and national security.

She is best known for criticizing the Obama Administration for declining to use language like “Islamist” and “jihadist.” She also makes a point of opposing both the Obama and Trump administrations by siding with Bashar Assad, the pro-Iranian dictator of Syria, and supporting Russia’s military intervention on Assad’s behalf.

Gabbard identifies the “WahhabiSalafist” ideology promoted by Saudi Arabia as the primary cause of Islamist extremism.

Her campaign says that she will end “regime change wars, an end to the new cold war and nuclear arms race.” Her website emphasizes the threat of nuclear war. You can read it here.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee’s campaign is almost exclusively about climate change and he, like many other candidates, will characterize it as the primary national security and foreign policy issue. His website only discusses that and immigration policy. Click here to read about his ideas.

Colorado Senator Michael Bennet’s campaign offers little in the way of foreign policy and national security directly but does promote several measures against foreign influence operations that could apply to Islamist governments and organizations and other adversaries.

Bennet’s political reforms include banning members of Congress and their senior staff members from ever representing foreign governments or foreign political parties. He also wants to close loopholes that enable lobbyists to work for foreign governments without registering as foreign agents. He also wants to ban social media platforms from allowing “foreign actors” to purchase political ads to influence U.S. elections. His platform is available here.

Former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper’s national security and foreign policy has three focuses: Cybersecurity, open and fair trade policy and strong alliances. His website discusses these issues here.

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio’s campaign website is devoid of national security and foreign policy positions. It can be found here.

Spirituality author Marianne Williamson’s national security policy is to dramatically cut the military budget, increase aid for humanitarian assistance, end support for undemocratic regimes and create a Department of Peace. Her views are explained here.

California Rep. Eric Swalwell’s campaign is mostly focused on gun violence. His platform is available here.

Montana Governor Steve Bullock, who failed to qualify for the debates, emphasizes his “one big idea” of “fighting foreign money.” He wants to force political non-profits to certify that they are not using foreign funding to promote campaigns. You can read more about his proposal here.

Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, who failed to qualify for the debates, is arguing that he is the national security candidate. He was in the Marines and served four tours in Iraq, where he worked on a special counterinsurgency team under the direct supervision of General Petraeus.

He summarizes his vision as, “We need to stop fighting wars without winning them and start winning wars without fighting them.” You can read more about his platform here.

Mayor Wayne Messam of Miramar, Florida, failed to qualify for the debates. You can read about his foreign policy platform here.

Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel, who failed to qualify for the debates, has a campaign slogan of, “End the American Empire.” You can read about his “Foreign Policy of Peace” here.

Former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak, who did not qualify for the debates, was a three-star vice admiral in the Navy. He was the highest-ranking military officer ever elected to Congress when he won and was the director of defense policy under President Clinton.

His defense and foreign policy can be read about here.

Facebook and YouTube still feature Videos by Leading al-Qaeda Jihadis

Google/YouTube labels Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager “Nazis,” and buries content that portrays Islam in a negative light, even if it’s accurate, but jihad terror preaching is OK with them. Likewise Facebook, which recently agreed to turn over data on “hate speech” suspects to the French government. Since foes of jihad violence and Sharia oppression are routinely defamed as purveyors of “hate speech,” what Facebook is essentially doing by targeting such people while allowing jihadis to post freely is aiding and abetting the global jihad. If free societies and free people survive this sorry age, and an accurate history of it is written, Mark Zuckerberg will be portrayed as the enemy of freedom that he is.

Al Qaeda’s Master Terrorists Are Still on Facebook and YouTube,” by Michael Weiss and Moustafa Ayad, Daily Beast, June 27, 2019:

In 2006, Ibrahim Suleiman al-Rubaish was repatriated to Saudi Arabia from Guantanamo Bay after he’d served more than five years as an enemy combatant for training with al Qaeda, and fighting alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan against the United States. Released as part of the Obama administration’s plans to shutter the offshore prison, Rubaish was admitted to Riyadh’s rather lackluster “deradicalization” program.

Then, sometime in  2009, he escaped the program and Saudi Arabia with 11 other jihadists.  They all turned up in Yemen and Rubaish soon emerged as the mufti, or Islamic jurist, for al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) where he spent the next six years appearing in propaganda videos for the group’s media outlet Al-Malahem, as well as releasing a number of fatwas and articles for other al Qaeda outlets including the English-language Inspire magazine.

Rubaish was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2015.  But his ideas and legacy live on through his sermons and speeches, still hosted on Facebook and YouTube.

Rubaish is joined in digital preservation by other leading lights in jihadist proselytization and virtual recruitment such as Abu Mus’ab al-Suri, the strategist behind the expansion of al Qaeda into Yemen, who helped invent what’s now commonly known as the “lone-wolf” terror attack; Nasir al-Wuhayshi, the leader of AQAP and the second-in command to Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda’s global head; and Anwar al-Awlaki, the main cleric for AQAP who is considered by counterterrorism experts to be, even from beyond the grave, one of the primary drivers of those lone-wolf attacks.

Taken together, Rubaish, Suri, Wuhayshi and Awlaki can still be found in 105 videos on both social media platforms, despite corporate avowals that this stuff was fast becoming a thing of the past. Yet we identified the videos through simple searches in Arabic using only the names of these prominent jihadists….

Contacted yesterday, Facebook said it was looking into the videos that we highlighted on its platform; YouTube did not respond to our queries in time for publication….

The most-watched video is his half-hour history on the invasions and subsequent injustices that the Muslim world has faced; it seems to have been recorded somewhere in Europe, as he refers to the “Christian world here in Europe.” Suri has Spanish citizenship and between 1994 and 1996 he lived in the London suburb of Neasden. Following the London bombings of 2005, he released a statement praising the selection of mass transit as a major, legitimate soft target….

VIDEO: A Historic Moment — Donald J. Trump the First U.S. President to Enter North Korea

NORTH KOREA NOW published the commentary and below video:

U.S. President Donald Trump stepped briefly into North Korea, together with the country’s leader Kim Jong-un, Sunday before holding a bilateral meeting at the inter-Korean border area. Trump became the first sitting American president to have set foot in the communist nation. The two sides fought each other in the 1950-53 Korean War.

Blue Global posted the 6 minute video (below) and report:

(SEOUL, ST, 30 Jun 2019) – United States President Donald Trump crossed over the Military Demarcation Line to the North Korean side following a handshake with the North’s leader Kim Jong Un at the truce village of Panmunjom, becoming the first sitting American president to set foot in North Korea.

The short encounter took place within the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas on Sunday (June 30). Earlier, Mr Trump had toured an observation post at the DMZ overlooking North Korea, before making his way to the truce village at Panmunjom within the DMZ. Mr Trump had told reporters in Seoul, ahead of his trip to the DMZ, that he looked forward to the meeting with Mr Kim “We’ve developed a very good relationship,” Mr Trump said.

Mr Trump’s first visit to the DMZ came after a meeting and working lunch with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who accompanied him to the DMZ. Mr Moon had said earlier on Sunday that the handshake “would be a historic event in itself… not only for the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, but also for a permanent peace in the region, it’ll be very meaningful”. In opening remarks to the media earlier on Sunday, Mr Trump said that Mr Kim is keen on the impromptu meeting which the US leader first raised in a Twitter message on Saturday morning. “Chairman Kim wants to do it, I’d like to do it,” he said.

The meeting between Mr Trump and Mr Kim on Sunday marked the third face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since they embarked on dialogue in June last year aimed at normalising ties and ending the North’s nuclear programme. Talks have stalled since February, when the two sides failed to narrow their differences over how to advance the denuclearisation process. Mr Moon, who has been mediating the US-North Korea talks, said Mr Trump’s Twitter invitation to Mr Kim gave hope to the world and “a flower of peace is blossoming”. However, he was careful to add that although he will accompany Mr Trump to the DMZ, the focus should be on US-North dialogue, and he wished they would make great progress.

Mr Moon said on Sunday that if Mr Kim were to “sincerely, completely” dismantle the Yongbyon nuclear facility, the international community would be able to discuss easing sanctions. “It’ll be the starting point for an irreversible denuclearisation,” said Mr Moon. The 250km-long, 4km-wide DMZ is a symbol of division after the halt of the 1950-53 Korean War, which saw the US aiding the South while China supported the North. Though heavily guarded, there is a truce village called Panmunjom on the border that allows tourist visits. It also played host to two summits between Mr Moon and Mr Kim. North Korea closed the area to tourists on Sunday, amid talk of a Trump-Kim meeting there, according to North Korean tour agency Koryo Tours.

The distance between Pyongyang and Panmunjom is 177km, and a journey by car would take about two hours. Mr Trump wanted to visit the DMZ during his previous trip to South Korea in November 2017, but the visit was cancelled due to bad weather.

This is a must watch. Really. No kidding. Everyone has to see this confession. Yes, it is 31 minutes. But wow is it ever worth the time.

This is a German woman, originally also a refugee to Germany, who was assisting the Muslim migrants at her own time effort and expense. Then she realized what a pointless scam it was against the German people, and broke the “oath” and went public with her story.

Special thanks on this one to MissPiggy. It is a huge job to do a 31 minute video.

Trump 2020 Landslide

And with the wave of the hand – Trump ‘s election is secured.

Did you watch the Democrat debates? I tried to get through it all but only survived the first 45 minutes or so of each debate, the “A” list debate and the “B” list debate. These debates may have driven the last nail in the coffin for any chance for a Democrat to win the election against Trump. I did call a Trump historical landslide at least a year ago for the 2020 election in one of these weekly posts, but as the President said on Twitter the other day in response to the whether or not the candidates would provide illegal aliens with unlimited healthcare, “All Democrats just raised their hands for giving millions of illegal aliens unlimited healthcare. How about taking care of American Citizens first? That’s the end of that race!” – Donald Trump on Twitter. Yup-lights out-game over!

Bottom Line Take Aways

No American flags. No mention of America. Open borders. Killing babies even after they are born. Medicare for all, no private insurance. Raise taxes to the rafters. Socialism. Oh yeah, transgender women, (born as biological males), are to receive free abortions-boggles the mind. The deep state, the media, the left wing lunatics and the Democrats are imploding and panicking. Their party is over. Things will ramp up last quarter of this year and into 2020 as the deep-state de-class gains momentum, mark my words.

So, in a nutshell, there you have it. The Democrat party of JFK is dead and gone. And so now with these debates behind us and another 16 months of more insanity, our Democrat neighbors, many of them, will be voting for Trump. And according to recent surveys, 18% of the black community supported Trump in 2016 with 36%-39% supporting President Trump today. I agree with the President. It’s lights out, game over. Trump was the winner of these debates.

Action

All that being said, get out and vote. Get other Republicans registered and get them to vote. Let’s get busy on the swing states, the battleground states. The Democrats, independents, blacks and Hispanics are already coming aboard. In my opinion, voter fraud and election theft aside, Trump wins the electoral college and popular vote in a historic landslide. Focus. Get busy. This election will determine whether America has the chance to be resurrected or end up in the dustbin of history. Fight for what’s right as though your life depends on it. Why? because it does. Know your enemies well.

Dead End at Bernie’s: Sanders Will Never be President

For those still feeling the Bern, I’ve some bad news: Bernie Sanders will never be president. This is first and foremost because he’ll never, ever be the Democrat nominee. The man who never really was yesterday’s candidate (except in Vermont) is nonetheless yesterday’s news.

While I wrote about this prior to Thursday’s Star Wars bar scene (a.k.a. the Democratic Debate), that no one is talking about Sanders after that event tells the tale. His case is a curious one, too.

When Sanders crashed the 2016 Democrat primaries, he seemed a breath of fresh Green Mountain State air up against Mrs. Establishment. Sure, he had no charisma, but, hey, what are we talking about here? His opponent was Ice Maiden Hillary.

Moreover, Sanders’ message’s time had come. He demonstrated that open socialism (as opposed to the Democrats’ erstwhile closeted variety) now sells. He was a bit like Donald Trump, who captured the GOP nomination partially because on immigration he was willing to go where no modern Republican had gone before. The senator was the first American Fabian in the field.

But having seen this, two years later Democrat hopefuls essentially quoted 19th-century Brit Sir William Harcourt and declared, “We’re all socialists now.” So why would the Democrat Party, which hates old white males almost as much as dead white males, need Sanders?

From their panoply of panderers they can choose a woman. They can choose a minority. They can choose a minority woman. They can choose a woman who claimed to be a minority woman; a man who claims to have a husband; a minority man who claimed to be an ancient Greek gladiator; or a blonde, two-brain-cell-wonder woman who’ll claim to be anything you want. Who could ask for anything less?

Yet Sanders is less. More wizened than wise, gray but not gay, more white than woke, he’s now reaching for others’ radicalism. For all his manifold flaws, his message had traditionally been more economic than racial, but now he has embraced the idea of reparations for slaves who don’t exist. He supports free healthcare for aliens who’ve broken into our country. And while he partied in a Soviet Union that might lock men masquerading as women up, earlier this year he hung a “transgender” flag at his office.

So what does Sanders have to recommend him? The voice in the wilderness has become the toothless lion among the wild things. Bernie is now the crazy old uncle at the table, a walking, talking anachronism trying to seem hip by copying the young.

Sanders’ next major problem concerns decrepitude vs. pulchritude: He’s the antithesis of what in 2011 I called “that presidential look.” Like it or not, many people vote on superficial bases, and being unattractive will likely cost you enough votes to turn an otherwise winnable election. Just consider: When was the last time a white-haired man, a bald man or one sporting glasses won a presidential contest?

Answer: Prior to the television age.

Of course, Sanders is white-haired, bald and bespectacled. When President Jimmy Carter tried to make Ronald Reagan’s age an issue during the 1980 election and asked him, “Ronnie, how come you look younger every day I see a new picture of you riding on horseback?” Reagan replied, “Jimmy, that’s easy. I just keep riding older horses.”

Well, there’s not a horse around that could make Sanders look good — not since the old gray mare who ain’t what she used to be in 2016, anyway.

Oh, note, Reagan was 68 in 1980. Sanders will be 79 at election time 2020.

The senator’s last major deficit is that, to quote what commentator Pat Buchanan quipped about Bob Dole, “he’s like Richard Nixon — without the charm.” Sanders’ personality never really seems to thaw from the Vermont winters, as he exudes all the warmth of a 50s-era Soviet commissar. And in politics, charisma is king.

Add to this Democrats’ governance by prejudice — they don’t like white men, the aged or Jews — and, hey, it’s Dead End at Bernie’s. Similar to the ’89 film that characterization is patterned after, some of Sanders’ underlings may know he’s dead, but they have reasons to pretend otherwise.

Of course, the old white male can still go back to Vermont and remain senator until he’s a dead white male. But if you’re still feeling the Bern, well, it’s probably something you ate.

VIDEO: Transgender Teen Sought to Kill Colorado Classmates

by Bruce Walker  •  ChurchMilitant.com  — New details emerge on STEM School shootings

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. (ChurchMilitant.com) – Unsealed court records illuminate the motives of the May 7 Colorado school shootings: revenge on classmates who taunted one of the teenage perpetrators, a 16-year-old pre-operative transgender girl who wished to become male.

Outside of conservative media outlets, mainstream coverage of the shooting evaporated once it was revealed the shooters espoused progressive political leanings and sympathies, which included the young woman’s gender dysphoria.

The revelations confirm the shootings that claimed the life of one student and wounded eight others at the STEM School Highlands Ranch were in retaliation for teasing directed at Alec (born Maya) McKinney, 16. She and fellow shooter, Devon Michael Erickson, 18, were both charged as adults for first-degree murder.

McKinney, whose name is redacted in the documents because she is still a minor, said, “He wanted the kids at the school to experience bad things, have to suffer from trauma like he has had to in his life. He wanted everyone in that school to suffer and realize that the world is a bad place.”

The probable cause narrative also depicts McKinney as the key figure in the melee, including allegedly threatening Erickson if he didn’t participate in the spree, and orchestrating the theft of the three handguns and one rifle used in the shooting. The arresting officer stated he was advised that “[redacted] prefers to be called [redacted] and wants to transition from being a female to a male.”

The report, derived from a recorded interview, continues with McKinney’s version of events:

His friend [redacted] messaged him on Snapchat last night and told him not to go to school tomorrow. Devon saved this message because he wanted to show his friends in order to “save them.” [Redacted] also told Devon that he was “super suicidal” and that he wanted to get revenge on a lot of people. [Redacted] stated he was considering killing his mom and siblings as well. Devon tried talking [redacted] out of doing that. [Redacted] told Devon he was going to kill him if he told anyone.

Although Erickson attempts to depict himself as an unwilling accomplice, he proceeds to relate how he acquiesced to several of McKinney’s demands. In fact, Erickson had already left the school campus twice the day of the shooting and had arrived home after leaving the school a third time when McKinney sent him a message to return to school to pick her up.

The narrative continues:

Devon picked [redacted] up and the two returned to Devon’s house. While at the house, Devon described [redacted] as being off and pissed off at a bunch of people. The two hung out in the basement and [redacted] used some cocaine while there. …

A short time later, [redacted] told Devon to follow him and the two went upstairs. [Redacted] asked Devon where his parent’s [sic] safe was. [Redacted] was aware there was a safe containing firearms because the two had previously discussed it a few weeks prior. …

After showing [redacted] the safe, Devon walked towards the door in an attempt to get away. [Redacted] told Devon to get away from the door and threatened to kill him if he didn’t.

After retrieving an ax and crowbar, Erickson told detectives McKinney was able to open the safe door enough to use the crowbar to pry it open.

Inside was a “Glock 21, a Beretta m9, a Ruger 22 rifle, and a Taurus revolver” as well as ammunition. Erickson said he showed McKinney how to load the weapons, and the two imbibed cocaine “because [redacted] threatened him to do so.” Erickson concealed the rifle and one handgun in his guitar case, and McKinney took possession of the other two handguns.

After arriving at the school, Erickson put his guitar case in the back of the classroom and told his teacher he needed to leave class because he was feeling ill. Instead of going to the principal’s office to inform them of the plot, however, he claims he had a panic attack and “went to the bathroom instead.”

When he finally arrived at the office, Erickson told detectives, McKinney was already there. She threatened Erickson once again. The two proceeded to room 107 and the shootings commenced.

In her statement to another detective, McKinney “stated he was born a female and is still in the pre-op transitioning phase. [Redacted] is anatomically a female. … He has been planning a school shooting for a few weeks.”

After writing “the voices win” with nail polish on a closet wall, the pair defaced the car of Erickson’s mother with spray paint before unsuccessfully attempting to set it on fire. Although admitting she fired her guns, McKinney stated she wanted to commit suicide but couldn’t figure out how to deactivate the weapon’s safety mechanism so she could shoot herself.
