California and Apportionment

sunbeam February 18, 2019 Comments Off

As was noted last week, California enjoys more representatives in the House of Representatives than it deserves due to its burgeoning illegal alien population. Based on the 2010 census, it is estimated that California has 7 to 8 more seats in the House than they would have if apportionment were based on the number of citizens rather than the total population.

Counting illegals in California in the census to inflate representation has been going on for a long time. Money and power are at work here. Today the elected representatives there declare their district a “sanctuary” area which attracts more illegals. This creates an endless cycle where House seats are being “stolen” at the expense of states that follow the law.

Why Is California A Sanctuary State?

sunbeam February 14, 2019 1 Comment

As most people know, California insists that it is a sanctuary state. Why are they doing this? Many cities in California have areas that have become literal cesspools from the large numbers of homeless there. Their sanitation needs are not met by standard state-of-the-art sanitation procedures. Some cities have “poop” patrols to clean up the streets from the poop and other unsanitary items put there by homeless people. Third world diseases are now beginning to show up. Los Angeles has a typhus problem which appears to be spreading. Due to the shortage of housing, encouraging more illegals to go there just exacerbates the problem.

There is an old saying that one should “follow the money” if you want to know why seemingly rational people would pursue what appears to be a irrational course of action. And in this case that certainly appears to be true.

Voter Fraud

sunbeam February 4, 2019 Comments Off

According to the Democrats, you are more likely to be hit by lightning than for an instance of voter fraud to occur. They have long attacked any effort to look into the potential for voter fraud as “voter suppression.” They use scare mongering to respond to questions about this. They hope to deter people from taking a serious look at the possibilities. People will be afraid to be labeled as racists and worse.

The Circus Comes To Town

The circus came to Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Friday. As with all circuses there was a barker out there inviting people to see the mysteries within. In this case the barker was CNN who had a “hunch” that there might be something newsworthy going on. CNN flew a news crew down from Washington for this. Because of a “hunch?” It is amazing to watch these reporters spin these stories. Clearly some people had advance knowledge communicated to them about what was going to happen. The fact that CNN was on the receiving end of such info is telling in its own right.

Civility

sunbeam January 7, 2019 Comments Off

Throughout the election campaign the Democrats downplayed the “I” word, that is, impeachment. They knew from their polling that talking about impeachment would hurt their chances in the mid-term elections.

They also whined about the lack of civility in Washington claiming that only returning Democrats to power would restore civility. How’s that working out now that the Democrats control the House?

Normalizing Political Violence

sunbeam January 5, 2019 Comments Off

As has been pointed out before, the left wants the American people to accept political violence as normal. Hatred and calls for violence from left wing activists are now so routine that few prominent people bother to condemn them.

Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi have constantly been urging their supporters to confront those who do not agree with their Marxist philosophy, to get in their faces in public, to harass them in restaurants, at department stores, at gas stations. Waters even extended this to harassing people in their homes. The goal is to silence those who disagree with them.

DOJ Election Collusion?

sunbeam December 31, 2018 Comments Off

2018 has revealed on many levels the extent of the corruption in the DOJ and the FBI. Only people who have been completely brainwashed will fail to see this. Knowing how far back this went, as Sundance over at CTH noted recently, looking back at events that may have appeared not connected at the time may be seen differently now.

As Sundance has noted, the case of Marc Turi takes on a new perspective. Turi admits to a criminal history. He told Fox Business that in the late 1980s, he stole a computer, his roommate’s car, and wrote bad checks including one for $100,000. Through court records, Fox News verified he was arrested, convicted, and served time in an Arizona jail. Turi admitted “In my youth, I made some very, very bad mistakes…I was discharged from the United States Navy other under than honorable conditions…and I’ve been fighting ever since to get that honor back.” ...

Hangman’s Nooses

sunbeam December 5, 2018 Comments Off

Last week on the morning before the runoff election for the US Senate in Mississippi a number of hangman’s nooses were found hanging from trees near the State Capitol in Jackson. In addition, “hate” messages were found nearby.

Of course, this led to an immediate meltdown by the MSM and elite Democrats. Leftists knew immediately who was behind the horrific display: white supremacists who supported Sen. Hyde-Smith in her runoff election against Democrat Mike Espy.

Why Do Democrats Oppose Voter ID Laws?

sunbeam November 16, 2018 Comments Off

Democrats are adamant that we do not need Voter ID laws. Former President Obama claimed that the potential for voter fraud was so low that it was a waste of money and resources to bother with it. To back up his claim he referred to the low number of criminal prosecutions in this area.

He and other Democrats have gone on to claim that such laws are really an attempt by the GOP to suppress minority voter turnout. Is this the case? Do Voter ID laws suppress minority voter turnout? What are the actual facts? ...

Mid-Term Election Results, Part 3

sunbeam November 14, 2018 1 Comment

The Democrats won control over the House of Representatives. What does this mean going forward?

An intellectually honest review of the possibilities must encompass what the Democrats have done in the recent past. The last time the Dems regained power in the House was in 2006 during Bush 43’s second term.

In doing this review one must keep in mind the Democrats’ 1^stcommandment as noted by Dee Chadwell:

Back in 2006 the American public had not yet been primed for a Marxist-type social order. It was important to appear centrist while at the same time encouraging some political violence “against capitalism.” Nancy Pelosi said of the Occupy Wall Street violent anarchists, “God bless these people.” ...
