Double-barrel Victory

sunbeam September 12, 2019 Comments Off

Two special elections for the House of Representatives were held on Tuesday in North Carolina. These were for NC3 and NC9. The Republican who had represented NC3 died after winning re-election in 2018. In NC9 Mark Harris, the incumbent Republican, edged Dan McCready, a smooth talking and personable Democrat by a few hundred votes in 2018. However, the NC Board of Elections refused to certify the win.

The reason? Apparently a political consultant for the Harris campaign allegedly mishandled some absentee ballots. The Board of Elections felt the case was strong enough to call for another election. This mishandling of absentee ballots is currently being litigated in the courts in NC.

It sounds an awful lot like the “harvesting” of ballots that took place in California during the 2018 elections. In some counties in California, more than 250,000 absentee ballots were “harvested.” The result was the flipping of a considerable number of House districts from Republican to Democratic hands. No charges have been filed in California.

Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!

If you listen to the MSM and their enablers on the left, everyone knows that the MSM, the Democrats and the multi-nationals are rooting for America to go into a recession. They want America to suffer setbacks. Why? Because there are trillions of dollars at stake and they want to see to it that Americans do not earn that money. They want it to stay in their pockets.

This is obscene. These people want America to have a recession so they can make up a story that it is PDJT’s fault. They want to say that he is ignorant, doesn’t understand global economics, etc.

This reminds me of a column that Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate and Trump-hater, penned in May in the NYTimes. As some may remembe Continue reading...

Why A Liberal Jew Voted For Trump

sunbeam September 5, 2019 Comments Off

Evan Sayet was a liberal Jew. After 9-11 he became a conservative thinker and recently wrote the following when he realized how off base the left was:

Trump’s ‘lack of decorum, dignity, and statesmanship’

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency. ...

Brexit

sunbeam September 4, 2019 Comments Off

There has been an interesting development on the other side of “the pond” which is the English way of referring to the Atlantic Ocean. For more than two years the British government under Theresa May had been trying to come up with a plan to exit the European Union (EU). Most of this action under Theresa May appears to have been a stalling action. The pols hoped that at some point the British would lose interest and the fact that the voting population had spoken out in favor of leaving the EU would disappear into history.

The fact that the Brits had voted for Brexit was as surprising as PDJT winning the Presidency here. The polls had all shown that Brexit would go down to defeat. Supposedly there was little chance it would pass. The polls were wrong again.

Stalling eventually cost Theresa May her job. The people were not happy that the UK was still in the EU. Boris Johnson’s Party achieved a majority around the idea that he would complete the process including, if needed, a “no-deal” Brexit.

Beto Bans The Press

“If we don’t have a free press, if we cannot make informed decisions at the ballot box, if we can’t hold people like me accountable, and make sure that we’re held honest to the promises that we made, to the job that we’re performing in these positions of public trust, we’ll lose the essence of our democracy.”

This is really good stuff. That is, if the person who made this proclamation really meant it. Who said this? Beto O’Rourke, the Mexican Irishman running for President, at an MSNBC town hall forum last year. ...

Why Is Biden Running?

sunbeam August 29, 2019 Comments Off

Joe Biden criticizes Trump’s Iran strategy as a self-inflicted disaster while his opponents take advantage of Biden’s own gaffes.

As we all know, Joe Biden is running for President. Why? The Democrats appear to be pinning their hopes on someone whose mental acuity appears to be substantially diminished from what it was just a few years ago. And Biden had problems then. Biden actually appears to be less mentally agile than Robert Mueller when Mueller appeared before Congress recently. And Mueller appeared lost at times during those hearings. What the Democrats accomplished during those hearings was to disgrace a man in front of the whole country. What are they trying to accomplish with Biden? ...

Special Weekend Edition

More details have become available about the actions of Patrick Byrne, the CEO of Overstock who resigned yesterday. Byrne resigned for a number of reasons, not the least of which appears to be concerns for his personal safety after the “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein.

In all Byrne gave four interviews regarding his involvement on behalf of the FBI in what he is calling “political espionage”. His story is consistent across all four interviews.

In 2015, Patrick Byrne was approached by FBI officials. They wanted him to cultivate a relationship with one Maria Butina, a Russian national who is an accused Russian agent. This had occurred after he had picked up the phone and reported a contact with Butina as he was required to do so by law. Why? Because Byrne has a low-level security clearance.

Facebook Censorship

Facebook has banned ads from the Women For Trump movement. Why? Because they enlist support …from women! Really? …Really!

The Sky Is Falling!

sunbeam August 15, 2019 Comments Off

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! These are the ridiculous proclamations of the MSM because the yield curve has turned negative. That’s where long-term bond rates (returns on investment) are lower than short-term rates (returns).

The yield on the Treasury’s benchmark 10-year note fell to 1.59% Wednesday afternoon. Earlier in the day it had briefly traded below the return on the Treasury’s 2-year note, something investors haven’t seen since June 2007. That spooked the equity markets, with the S&P 500 Index down by more than 3%.

Financial pundits in the MSM led by CNN immediately called for a US recession. They pointed to the fact that China’s industrial production grew at the slowest rate in 17 years in July while Germany’s economic output actually shrank slightly in the second quarter.

Let’s look at the bigger picture from the 30,000 foot level. One has to start with the idea that, in economics, there is something known as supply and demand. This idea is economics 101 and has been intentionally overlooked by the MSM financial “experts.”

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)

sunbeam August 6, 2019 Comments Off

TDS is a mental illness characterized by a hatred of the President because he is a good person trying to do right by all Americans, regardless of color, race, creed, sex or national origin. This causes a short circuit in the liberal mind. Those suffering from this malady gradually lose all connection to reality. In the world of the TDS patient, George Orwell’s 1984 book looms large. The longer a patient suffers, the worse the patient becomes. The disconnect becomes more and more pronounced as demonstrated by the image above. Up is down and down is up. Good is evil and evil is good. Doublespeak is the language of the day.
