One has to wonder. One has to take a good look, really take a step back, take a deep breath and take a good look at America and what’s going on in America. We have to take a look at what America is and what America is going to be.
That, in a nutshell, is the responsibility of every American, especially the voting Americans. But more important, it is the responsibility of our leaders, new and old, left and right.
When it comes to voting, each American citizen who votes should vote according to their beliefs and their personal interests, whatever they are. This is the essence of being an American, of being in America. No one should stop or discourage anyone from doing so, no matter what their personal beliefs and best interests are.
When it comes to voting, anyone who is legally eligible to vote should vote. Anyone in this category who doesn’t vote, shame on them except if there is reason or cause for their not voting. Similarly, anyone who votes illegally, for whatever reason, shame on you for defrauding the American people, the American government and the American taxpayers.
When you look at it honestly, there’s lots of shame to go around. The trouble is that most of us who should feel shame and be ashamed of what they do don’t and they don’t think twice about their actions in any other contexts other than their personal self-interests and misguided senses of self-importance.
Man is by nature selfish and greedy and lives according to the theory of evolution, or the survival of the fittest. Since great wealth is the new “fittest,” maybe this is why all the greed and selfishness. Maybe it’s just our inherent nature.
We’re living in an illusion in America now. What you’re seeing and hearing day in and day out is not what is happening in America. WYSIWYG not. It is a scripted text that the Despicable Democrats, aided and abetted by much of the mainstream media/social media Consortium, Pravda USA, a big part of it owned by individual Trump-hating billionaires, would have you believe.
This is what needs to be looked at.
One more time, this is what needs to be looked at, for it is the greatest internal danger to America.
Since all the Democratic candidates are millionaires except for Julian Castro, Tulsi Gabbard, Tim Ryan and Pete Buttigieg, or since any one of the ones who have any chance of actually becoming the nominee are millionaires (actually multi-millionaires) why are they so eager to bash, even destroy, the very system that has provided the means for them to be so wealthy?
The answer is simple and obvious. They see the structure of all the socialist countries and know that due to their wealth and economic status they will automatically be catapulted into and belong to the wealthy class. So they, in effect, know how they will fare in the socialist system they are pushing. Their lives will not change much. In fact, they’ll be bettered.
Same for their uber-rich Hollywood shills.
They see all this, the Despicable Democrat candidates do, and they know what will happen. They know they will be safe and on top.
They see what will happen to the rest of us too. There’s plenty of examples. So why are they pushing socialism and class warfare?
Simply put, why are they spinning a yarn and promising things that are not at all as portrayed?
Why are they pushing things that are clearly unsustainable and which will destroy the very core of America, if not America itself?
It’s all very simple.
They know where they will end up and they want to stay there because they’re there now. They also know where we will end up, and they are happy with this.
And so they persist.

Some of us think the world revolves around us, that we are the centers of the universe. More and more, if you listen to the uber-liberals in all fields, we’re being taught this preposterous notion.
Hogwash!
In reality, in the scope of things, each and every one of us is but a minuscule part of the bigger whole. Sad, but true, and even more especially sad for those of us who think they’re “all that.” Bill Maher comes to mind.
So when I wrote my first paper in my first advanced class (past the Masters) in my doctoral program, I made the mistake of using the first person (I) several times. Well, the teacher was furious — he was a professor — and while he didn’t say anything directly to me, he said something to my dissertation adviser because he gave me a quick talking-to about how no one cares what I think about anything until I have those letters after my name.
He was really re-affirming something I already knew, something I’d been taught many years ago – that in the scope of things we’re all small potatoes, virtually almost little nothings, each of us occupying space, using oxygen and just passing through the whole of what this universe is.
About that, by the way, about the universe, for all our advanced knowledge, we really know very little (although, again, some of us think they really know a lot). By that, I mean to say that we don’t have any real idea of what happens after we die other than what happens in the decomposition of the body. The soul thing, the spirit, mind-body, all that’s “out there” in the sense that no one really knows. It becomes a “what-you-believe,” and one of the great things about being born in America is that you’re free to believe as you wish.
Personally, I believe in God and in the Old Testament notion of heaven and hell. My faith has wandered, vacillated, been submerged from time to time, but it’s there, has survived, is stronger than I give it credit for. Not that it matters much, but I’m looking forward to one day — and God please, not too soon – going up there to be with my parents, my family, especially my one aunt, my mother’s sister, Hello Georgewood, whom I regret not getting to know.
Anyway…
This idea that’s currently fashionable that it’s all about us is not well-conceived. It’s not well thought out, it’s not based in any sort of empirical fact. It is, in essence, designed to fulfill another currently fashionable but poorly conceived notion, that of immediate gratification, that our every whim/thought/desire is meant to be immediately and instantaneously fulfilled.
More hogwash!
Like with almost everything, such notions of self-centered self-importance and the accompanying inherent right to immediate self-gratification — everything and everyone else be damned — have consequences, some of them unintended consequences which can often happen but which occur more frequently when ideas/notions/advocated value positions are presented off-the-cuff, without much thought and supported by that narcissistic notion that we are the center of the universe.
Witness AOC. Witness Beto O’Rourke, Elizabeth Warren (the Native American) and Cory Booker. Witness Bill Maher, mentioned twice here now, who so confidently denies God (thereby proclaiming himself a god) and who sits upon a personal wealth of $100 million hoping the nation is thrust into depression to fulfill his personal political desire to see Donald Trump defeated in 2020.
See the point?
This sense of the universe centering around us, especially when enjoined to the denial of God or some greater power out there, leads to ideas like “hurt the many to satisfy my desire,” “re-create segregation because I personally am afraid of white people,” or “we’re all going to die in twelve years if we don’t adopt the Green New Deal.
And so it goes.
I could call myself Dr. I have the letters and lots more letters too. But I prefer to think of myself as someone cognizant of the fact that when it’s all over for me, I will only have meant something, and that’s if I’m lucky, to the people who knew me. A little and minuscule part of the whole.

Interestingly, I think there are several prominent people who really do care (about you, about me, about us). One of them is AOC, Ocasio-Cortez, believe it or not. I don’t agree with most of her politics and I don’t like a lot of the ways she goes about things — what she says and more. But I think she’s sincere and I think she cares.
Unfortunately, she’s young, naïve and not well-informed, so in my book she gets an A- for sincerity and caring and much lower grades for content and substance. As regards behavior, she surely gets a D there.
Many of you might stop reading when I write the next few lines, but so be it. I also think President Trump cares. I think he cares about the country, about our economy and our standing in the world, and I think he cares about the American citizens. I agree with some of his politics and I think, looking at the big picture in the world, he’s got a realistic view of the direction America should be moving in and is trying to steer us in that direction.
That said, quickly, I think Bernie Sanders is all wet totally, but I think he cares. After him, no matter what they say, there’s not another prominent lefty I trust in the slightest or that I think is sincere or honest. As far as I’m concerned, the last sensible Democrat was Joe Lieberman and he was smart enough to retire.
I don’t have much more faith in the Republicans. In fact, the longer I’m alive and the more I see, I don’t have much faith in humankind at all. Our political class, the American Politburo, as a whole, is no better than the old Russian Politburo of the cold war, and America would do itself a big favor if it made term limits mandatory all around. It’s clear that when we’ve come to what we’ve come to in this country, in politics and in the divide in our society, we need to throw the circuit breaker and shut things off for a bit. No better way to start doing this than by putting in term limits.
And so it goes.
Especially here and especially now I prefer not to get hung up on the who’s-to-blame game. The Despicable Democrats, aided and abetted by Pravda USA, the mainstream media and social media who are nothing more than shills for the Despicable Dems, would have you believe it is Trump, would have you believe Trump is every “ist” in the book known to people-kind. Along with their Hollywood friends (all multi-millionaires so fashionably fond of trashing the very capitalist system that made them multi-millionaires) they tell us over and over again, and over and over again and again, every day day after day that it’s Trump who’s dividing us.
I think they doth protest too much.
I think it’s way too easy to simply write it off that way.
The divisions we’re seeing in American now, probably much more overblown and over-dramatized by the media than they actually are down in the trenches where most of us live, surely pre-date Donald Trump as a presidential candidate and then as a president.
Following the money would be a good idea here. Checking out who’s been doing what since when, checking out who actually benefits from the divides in our country, who benefits from keeping the divides prominent and in the everyday narrative — that would be a good way to start to see what’s fact and what isn’t, what’s historically true and why. It might also offer some insight as to how badly the American people are being hoodwinked, conned and lied to.
My sense is that a real, no-holds-barred, eyes-open examination of what’s going on these days would surprise a lot of people. When you start to look at people like Al Sharpton, who he is, who he was and what he’s done, and then consider that he’s a major powerful judge of President Trump, well, that in itself speaks volumes.
So…
You think they, the Despicable Dems, really care? Huh! What they do care about is power, getting it and keeping it. On that, they are all in, and they see their road to power as the road of demonizing anyone/everyone who does not agree with them. And so they keep an underclass which continually votes Democratic and which they can ever-use to accomplish their demonizing.

The Despicable Democrats: Wow! Just plain wow!
So before actually starting, one reiteration: Pravda USA, the mainstream media and social media whose unbridled left-wing bias is now well-documented, a matter of record and obviousness and under scrutiny and investigation, is perhaps the single greatest danger America faces. How and why have already been presented here many times and no doubt will be discussed here again.
That said, the real racism in America is from the Democrats. Oh, all of you who swallowed the blue pill and don’t want to know the truth will say that’s crazy and you’ll laugh to yourselves believing you’re morally correct and far superior to anyone who doesn’t agree with you. That’s part of the problem.
Or, if we actually dropped the pretense of moral superiority and I-know-it-all and looked at things, we might be able to have a conversation.
But…
So… Have you listened to the Democrats speak? They belittle and deride whites constantly and continually. They tell the whites how bad they are over and over and advocate violence toward them — why, they say, it’s morally justified.
Just listen to the Democratic candidates, even the white ones. The white ones are the worst. They apologize for being white, try to insinuate that they really support (and even include themselves with) people of color.
So the Democratic anti-white speak is inherently racist in nature and its effect on their own white candidates is to make them berate themselves, belittle themselves and apologize for the color of their skin.
Why, you’d absolutely think, to listen to the Democratic anti-white speak, that we were right back before the civil rights movement, like in the 1950s and earlier.
Martin Luther King Jr. must be spinning in his grave!
But that’s the least of it. It’s bad enough, but worse is what the Democrats have done to the blacks, to people of color, to the “minorities.”
It starts with Lyndon Johnson and the war on poverty. That’s the mid-1960s. This war on poverty is some fifty years old and more than twenty-three trillion dollars (that’s twelve zeros after the twenty-three) have been spent on it with a net decrease in the poverty rate that is so minimal it can hardly be seen. As well, the demographics of those in poverty haven’t changed much.
One might conclude that their war on poverty hasn’t been very effective. One might surmise that for all their talk about concern and care, the Despicable Democrats haven’t done very much for the blacks, Hispanics and other people of color.
For about seventy years the Despicable Democrats have run and/or controlled the big cities in America. Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, New York in part, and more. These are the cities failing, impoverished, highly-taxed, crime-ridden.
Again, abject Democrat failure displayed.
In reality, the Democrats want, need and keep people of color as an underclass. They do so to keep them dependent on their mostly-meager handouts so they’ll get their votes, and they do so to divide America. You know: divide and conquer.
All in all, when you really come to look at the Democrats and their policies, what you see is overt racism, real racism pure and simple.
So then they point the finger to divert you from seeing what they’re doing and have done. But they forget that when they point their finger at those they accuse of racism, three fingers are pointing right back at them.

Doesn’t matter whether or not you like President Trump or whether or not you agree with his policies or his personal behavior. In the scope of things, liking him or agreeing with his policies is small potatoes. What matters is what the Democrats, the top people of some of the Intelligence Agencies, the media and Hollywood did and are still doing to our country.
They would have us believe they are acting in response to what Trump is doing as president, but that’s a crock, they know it’s a crock and they know that it has nothing to do with anything except their extreme animus for the man who got elected instead of Hillary Clinton.
And so it goes.
Take the pill you want, blue or red. Take the blue one and believe what you want, facts be damned.
The Democrats and the their liberal/socialist sponsors are re-writing history, re-writing the very origins of this country as they would like them to be presented to the generations who have not been taught any better. In fact, they are controlling what is being taught and reconstructing certain narratives to read according to the way they wish them to read. As well, they are writing new ones which they know are fictions, hoping, even betting that the majority of our people who listen to the mainstream media and get their news from social media will believe their concocted stories. And apparently a good portion of the loyalist Democratic supporters have swallowed that blue pill.
The Despicable Democrats break all the rules of real research, use fact-checkers who are biased and listen to the people who, like Al Sharpton as an example, are revered by many but who should be reviled by all.
They go even further. Along with the multi-billionaire media owners, the ones who hate President Trump, they have turned what used to be a free press (in reality, for all we know, a mostly-free press) into Pravda USA, a media consisting of cable networks, print and social media that do nothing more than repeat, mimic, and front for the Despicable Democrats.
And then there’s Hollywood. You know them. Like the Despicable Democrat leaders, they are mostly all multi-millionaires who live in the gated cities but condemn fences as immoral. They preach Medicare for all but have their own private medical policies. They want your guns taken away but have armed bodyguards. On and on.
Many of them, like Whoopi, for example, said they would leave the country if Trump were elected, yet they’ve stayed to make more of the almighty dollars while they tell you, the regular people, to give up yours because money, being rich that is, is evil.
Hypocrites!
The net result of this, the real net result, is a threat and extreme danger to America as a country. Those Despicable Democrats, supported by the Hypocrite Hollywood elite (they’ll laud Roman Polanski yet say they support women—have those Democrat leaders in Virginia resigned yet for their sexual and racial indiscretions?) will tear America down in order to…simply be in power and keep power.
It begins under Obama’s watch and continues through the first now-almost-three-years of Trump’s presidency. How immoral and uncaring are these groups, led by the Despicable Democrats, supported and promoted by the mainstream media and Hollywood!
The worst part of it all is they know what they are doing and their own self-interest is more important to them than the very country that has allowed them to become as rich as they are and to speak out freely.
Shame on them!

The thing is they know better. The thing is they know exactly what they are doing and why, and some of it — not all – is coordinated. All of it is calculated and planned. They know what they’re doing and they know it’s bad for America.
Talking about the Despicable Democrats. Talking about the fact, and it is a fact, that they continually say they are doing what the American people want when about the best they can reasonably say is they are perhaps doing what some of their supporters want.
So, in fact, when they tell us, those Despicable Democrats do, that what they are doing is what the American people want, at the very best it’s a calculation. They are betting that the mainstream media, Pravda USA, will echo what they say and repeat it in almost an endless loop over and over such that the people listening will believe it as fact. They are purposefully manipulating, or at the very least attempting to manipulate, “the American people.”
Gee, I thought they were supposed to represent us. I thought they were elected to carry out our wishes. I thought their function was to come together as a legislative body, solicit what the populace wants and needs and then work to accomplish that.
I didn’t think it was their job to tell us what they want us to want and then attempt to manipulate us into believing it is what we want.
Silly me!
So a few facts. The first is a very simple one: there is a difference between facts and opinions, or, as taught in freshman composition class, there is a difference between observation and inference. It is one of the first lessons taught in basic rhetoric.
A fact is something empirical, something known or proved to be true. An example would be that 65,844,954 people, according to CNN, voted for Hillary, and 62,979,879 people voted for Trump. Even if these numbers aren’t exactly correct, they are verifiable and so could be accepted as fact.
What’s not a fact is the CNN headline that comes up first in a Google search of “how many people voted for Hillary” which is “It’s official: Clinton swamps Trump in popular vote — CNN politics.” She did beat him in popular vote. That’s a fact. Did she “swamp” him? That’s an opinion. An opinion is a view or judgment not necessarily based upon facts or knowledge.
The most famous line of this is “it depends upon what the definition of is is,” spoken by — you guessed it — a Democrat.
So when we come down to it, lots of things are in play. In regard to the voting, you can’t say that everyone who voted for either candidate actually supported that candidate. Maybe someone voted for one of the candidates simply because they couldn’t stand the other one. Or vice versa. And on and on it goes.
We’ve come into an age of linguistic breakdown, where hyperbole rules and where opinion is passed on as fact simply because someone says it, the mainstream media repeats it, Pravda USA, telling us it is so and desperately attempting to coerce us, to manipulate us into believing what they want us to believe.
Overall and without doubt, what’s going on in the Democratic-led House of Representatives is dangerous to America. Inquiry is good. Honest inquiry is even better. Honest inquiry would look at all aspects of what really happened. Honest inquiry coupled with doing the business America really needs done, like fixing our immigration policies and what’s happening at the border, like enforcing our laws, like dealing with the homeless and the poor and needy American citizens, like working on the National Debt — you know what the real business is — would be best.
But alas, man is by nature selfish and greedy and clearly the Despicable Dems care more for power and personal wealth than for the good of the American people or for America itself.

The Democrats are fond of saying that they speak for America. That is their first mistake. They don’t speak for at least the 63 million people who voted for President Trump. They might speak for the people who live in the Democrat-run cities. Maybe.
They get away with saying that they speak for America because Pravda USA, the mainstream media and social media, are nothing more these days than an arm of the Democratic Party. So the Democrats say something, the mainstream media and social media, Pravda USA, repeat it endlessly as if it were set in loop motion of a DVD or cassette tape.
Just recently, published here, was an opinion piece advancing the idea that Pravda USA, our mainstream media and social media, much of which is owned by private, independent billionaire Trump-hating people, is perhaps America’s greatest danger.
Which brings us to the information police. It’s not just Pravda USA, the mainstream media and our social media, that act as the information police. If you’re a betting person, you can bet that the information we get has been policed and limited for much longer than the period of time we’re looking at here. Probably, probably most definitely, it goes way back, certainly to the time when there were three TV networks and some radio, and more likely all the way back in our history.
But never has it been more apparent, more insidious and more dangerous than now.
Think about it! When Janet Reno, Obama’s Attorney General, told state attorneys general to prosecute people who came up with scientific findings which differed from the government’s position on climate change, this put information police on a new level.
Imagine! What Janet Reno did was tantamount to changing the very nature and definition of science. Science, she said by doing what she did, is what we say it is.
Remember, as well, most of those people researching climate change were funded by the government. Or, their funding depended upon the government being happy with what they did. Or, their funding was premised by their finding what the government wanted them to find.
This is dangerous stuff. It’s going on all around us with revisionist history, with Progressives dominating the universities and teaching what they want students to know as opposed to our real history.
Still out there somewhere is truth. Truth be told, there are many truths. But in today’s world, the distinction between feelings and facts is muddled. If you feel someone has hurt your feelings, as the lefties do, you can proclaim them a racist, a fascist a whatever-you-want-to-proclaim them, and if you’re on that lefty side, Pravda USA, our mainstream media and social media, will make it so.
It gets worse, or better depending upon which side you’re on and which pill you’ve swallowed. The mainstream media, Pravda USA, fact checkers, along with Hillary’s fact checkers, are not really trustworthy fact checkers. They are part of the information police. Real fact checkers check all facts, check all research, find out what’s real and what isn’t. Biased fact checkers are simply information police.
We’ve come into the era of the PCP (political-correctness police), and now the IP (the information police). This is an era where feelings are facts and facts are subjective. Together these things are the biggest threat to America and they are leading us in directions no one really wants to go.
Don’t think so? Want to live in a place where you can be arrested for what you think? Gee, we used to think that was places like Russia, Cuba, and Communist China. Maybe, it’s coming to here now.

So the Democrats are thinking this Acosta thing, you know, the decision Acosta was part of (they’d have you believe it was solely his decision) some 10 years ago which gave Jeffrey Epstein, owner of the Lolita Express, a sweetheart deal, is a good way to play Three-card Monte.
They are still stuck in and refuse to move out of subterfuge. Overall they want to distract us from seeing what’s actually going on. Armed with the mainstream media, some of the outlets of which are owned by billionaire Trump-haters, they are effectively controlling what many of us see.
The mainstream media and much of social media equals nothing less than Pravda U.S.A. Exactly like Pravda was/is, our mainstream media is a propaganda machine for the Democrats hiding behind the illusion of being a free press.
The Democratic game plan is quite simple:
- promise lots of free stuff
- vow with solemn-looking faces that they’re fighting for equality for everyone
- block any and all attempts to see how many illegals are here in this country
- allow as many of them in as they can so as to gain their votes, illegally of course
- demonize Trump, the Republicans, Trump supporters
- pit the blacks against whites, the rich against the poor
- establish racial and class warfare
- call everyone and anyone who does not agree with what they say a racist, a bigot or a xenophobe.
- divide and conquer
Overall, they’re playing a bait and switch game.
Overall, the bottom line is that they’re full of shit.
It’s a bait and switch because clearly and unequivocally what they are claiming as their core values are only for show. The Democrat leaders are all on the Cadillac-of-Cadillacs of medical plans. A good percentage of them are millionaires, starting with Nancy, sign-it-to-see-what’s-in-it Pelosi. Even Bernie, the avowed communist from way back now turned Democratic-socialist, earned more than 1.7 million dollars from his books, a capitalist venture don’t you think? And then when asked why he didn’t give back the money he saved on the Trump tax cuts, he laughed in front of the camera, made a scoffing noise to the questioner and thought the very idea of it was preposterous.
It’s a bait and switch because they don’t live by their own ideals or their own policies. Al Gore, Mr. big-time leader of the global warming scam, uses more electricity in a month in his big mansion than the rest of his whole town. His net worth: close to 200 million. Nancy Pelosi lives behind those immoral fences. Her net worth: about 115 million.
So who are they kidding?
Another thing the Despicable Dems keep forgetting is that when you point a finger, three fingers point back at you.
The Acosta thing, and he’s now resigned so they got what they wanted, is a subterfuge. Be careful! Chuckie-boy Schumer is now implicated with Jeffrey Epstein and Billy-boy Clinton, that illustrious paragon of American morality, took 26 rides on Epstein’s Lolita Express, not the four he’s claiming. It depends upon what the definition of is is.
They, the Despicable Dems, are nothing more than the worst of hucksters, a group of immoral salesmen who would sell you the Brooklyn Bridge simply to enrich and empower themselves.
