The avatar in the President’s office removed the terrorist designation from the Houthis (primarily in Yemen).  This designation had been put in place during the Trump administration.

Last week the Houthis bombed an airport in Saudi Arabia.  The drone strike targeted Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia, an airport just 75 miles from the Yemeni border that is frequently targeted by the militant rebel group. The attack set one civilian plane on fire.

My memory fails me but isn’t there a word that is used for organizations that target civilian populations with violence? ...

President’s Day

      Comments Off on President’s Day

On Monday crowds of supporters gathered on the road to Mar-a-Lago to cheer and celebrate President Donald Trump.  This was a huge show of love for PDJT today as he returned to Mar-a-Lago after a day on the links.

This is another one of those “this doesn’t happen” thing. Remember during the campaign when a TRUMP sign ala the Hollywood sign appeared in the hills around LA. And tens of thousands of people showed up for rally after rally, the crowds increasing as time went on. Toward the end 40k, 50k and 60k people were showing up.

Then there were the spontaneous gatherings of large numbers of Trump supporters in unlikely places like Beverly Hills. And mega Trump parades of all types, all over the country – a hundred miles of cars, hundreds of boats and bikers, long-haul truckers, golf carts, and an Amish horse and buggy parade, for Pete’s sake. This was all real.  We saw it day after day, momentum and enthusiasm off the charts.

The Big Racket

      Comments Off on The Big Racket

The Biden administration is considering curtailing the ability for citizens to travel freely but has effectively hung out an “Open Borders” sign for illegals to come into the country.  That would mean the border would once again be overrun by drugs, sex traffickers and criminals.  Is this just the usual hypocrisy from the Left?  Or is there something more sinister going on?

ARIZONA […]  In recent days, more than 1,000 people who had been detained after crossing into the U.S. have been released into the country in a reversal of the Trump administration’s near-shutdown of the border. Many more people are gathering on the Mexican side, setting up a test of America’s ability and willingness to admit migrants during a pandemic.

On Thursday in Mexicali, across from Calexico, Calif., migrants could be seen trying to scale a border fence. A migrant camp in Matamoros, Mexico, just across a bridge from Texas, has grown to 1,000 people over the past few weeks.

There is something more sinister going on.  The best title for it might be “The Big Racket.”

Sundance over at CTH has written on this subject multiple times over the years.  I will be quoting liberally from his posts.

Politicians on both sides of the aisle play political games with the issue of illegal immigration. As Sundance has noted:

There is no greater disconnect from ordinary Americans on any singular issue than the policy positions of Democrats and Republicans in Washington DC surrounding illegal immigration. President Donald Trump was confronting their unified interests.

Ending Freedom of Association

Recently the Biden Administration has been talking about curtailing travel between the states to help stop the COVID virus.  In particular, since Florida has been “flaunting” the supposed “best practices,” it has been singled out for “punishment” by the federal government.  Of course, this was to be done under the guise of a public health emergency caused by a new variant of the COVID virus.  This ignores the declining case rates across the country.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio slammed the Biden administration for considering such a domestic travel ban on the state, calling the threat “unconstitutional” and a “political attack” on Floridians.

It’s Just A Mask

      Comments Off on It’s Just A Mask

This is a presentation by Mark Sargent that highlights very well so much of the nonsense going on in our country right now.  It is common sense from start to finish.  Unfortunately too many people remain clueless even after movements like defund the police went main stream.

Numerous studies have concluded that masks do not stop the spread of the virus.  85% of all people who contract COVID wore masks most of the time (15%) or all the time (70%).  However, you do not hear this from the media.  What you hear is that if you do not wear a mask, you are irresponsible, you are putting lives at risk, you are selfish.

The Reichstag Fire Of The Democrats

      Comments Off on The Reichstag Fire Of The Democrats

This seems to be my week for visiting historical parallels.  Daniel Greenfield has written an article for Frontpage Mag that does an excellent job of drawing parallels between the current actions of the Democratic Party and their allies and totalitarian governments of the past.  I will be drawing liberally from the article.

You can read the entire article here.

Of course, historical parallels need not be controlling of future events.   But, there is danger in failing to learn from the lessons of history. It is best to be prepared.  The lessons that we derive from historical events is a highly recommended first step in that preparation.

While walls, razor wire, and military encampments rise outside the halls of government, inside them the Democrats have unleashed a true coup. Protesters have “stormed” Congress before, from both the Left and the Right, which cannot be called overthrowing the government. But Democrats began their own overthrow by launching an unconstitutional post-office impeachment of President Trump for speaking at a peaceful protest and a push to remove Senate members who objected to the stolen election by abusing the 14th Amendment.

The fake emergency has been extended to March. The FBI continues falsely claiming that there is some sort of threat that requires 7,500 soldiers to conduct a military occupation of the nation’s capital. The FBI’s claims that this threat would occur during “First Amendment-protected protests” has a massive credibility problem because there have been no protests in D.C.

COVID-19 To End 1st Amendment

      Comments Off on COVID-19 To End 1st Amendment

I would never say that COVID-19 is a hoax.  There is a COVID-19 virus.  Viruses have been around as long as the human race has been around, probably longer.  COVID is not more dangerous than all other flu-like viruses that impact the respiratory system. Do people die who contract COVID?  Yes, they do just as people do who contract the flu.  However, COVID-19 is very manageable and does NOT carry a higher fatality rate.

Several common drugs (hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, to name two) are effective in managing the illness despite the so-called experts in this country railing against them last year.  The mortality rates in countries that advocated their use show this to be true.

So why is COVID-19 being hyped as such a dangerous threat?  The reality of the danger from COVID is far lower than the level of the hype about it.

As I mentioned yesterday, the current situation with the faux impeachment has historical analogies.  Of particular note is the trial of King Charles I in England in the 17th Century by radical members of Parliament.  Oliver Cromwell was a prominent leader of Parliament who was directly engaged in the insurrection that defeated King Charles.  And it was an insurrection.

While this is a long story involving multiple years of civil war in England, in the end the dispute was about powers that Parliament had versus the powers of the King.

Tuesday is the beginning of the Washington elites’ third bite at the apple of impeachment.  Yes, that’s right.  This is the third attempt to remove PDJT from office via the impeachment route.  What’s that you say?  PDJT is no longer in office so how can they impeach him?  In the circus that is Washington, anything is possible.  When you have a Speaker of the House who has an all-consuming hatred of PDJT, all it takes is a little pixie dust, a healthy dose of insanity and a new Army of the Potomac to protect you from everyday Americans. ...
