First, one more time:  Ruth Bader Ginsburg: may she rest in peace.

Those peaceful, festival-like demonstrations that have ruined countless businesses and destroyed multiple cities’ properties have wreaked close to two billion dollars in damages. Mostly, those anarchists have destroyed things like, you know, buses, local mom and pop stores that the inner-city neighborhood residents depend upon, pharmacies and groceries. And they have cost many, many jobs that those same inner-city residents depended upon. Many of them will not be revived.

Those demonstrations have moved to restaurants where innocent people are dining outside due to COVID restrictions and there have been the incidents we’ve seen on TV where demonstrators come up to (many times older) people’s tables and abuse the people and their food.

They’ve moved into the suburbs where they’ve told residents that they don’t belong in their own houses because they are privileged, that other people belong there and are coming for the houses.

These are those peaceful protests according to CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC and others as well as the majority of the print media. The mainstream media in America is one of the most dangerous forces out there, if not the most dangerous force in America now. It is Pravda USA on steroids, an unabashed arm of the Democratic party. Like Pravda and any of the media in totalitarian countries, it presents a narrative to its viewers that is biased, untrue, not faithful to real facts and meant to tell its viewers to do what the party says or else.

Rule by threat.

Worse, here in America it is owned by a few mega-billionaires all of whom do multi-billion dollar business yearly  with our “enemies.” Thus they have personal interests in holding to a bias. Never before has such public information power been concentrated into the hands of so few people whose business interests run contrary to the interests of the United States. Furthermore, all of these people have personal animus toward Donald Trump the person and  Donald Trump the president.

So they advance a false narrative that allows Nancy Pelosi and her party to rule by mob threat and political mob threat.

The Democrats say they will forcibly remove the president from the White House if he loses and won’t leave. How preposterous to even bring it up. Fear-mongering and threat.

They say they will stack the Supreme Court.

They say they will add new states certain to be Democrat so the Republicans can never win an election again.

They say they will make sure the violence we are seeing in the streets continues if President Trump is re-elected.

Or, you can have no peace, no security and no safety anywhere in America unless you vote Democrat.

Well, pretty much, that’s what it is and that’s what they are saying.

Rule by threat: give the Democrats what they want and put them in power or all you have worked for your entire life will be destroyed like those little mom and pop stores were in the inner-cities.

A government’s first responsibility is to protect its people.  That’s not my opinion. Look it up.

That what the Democrats are doing? Is that what they’ve done in the cities they’ve controlled for about 60 years? The cities they have let perpetrate anarchy and abuse of their tax-paying and other populations?

That what you want for your future and the future of you children and grandchildren?

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: may she rest in peace.

She died on the eve of the first night of Rosh Hashanah. This in itself has a significance, a special meaning for a special person, a special woman.

But that’s not what this is about. Short and sweet, this is about us as a species that now occupies the earth, about what we are.

Not even an hour into her death on one of the holiest of holy days for the Jewish people, the politicians were talking about its political implications and ramifications and of course they were already beginning the twisting of the language to support, whether correctly or not, the point of view they wish to push forward. The pundits were already speculating and the  networks were making their money on her death.

All this before her family could begin to come to terms with it, before they could even start to make funeral arrangements.

Why would the politicians and networks not let her rest in peace and let things be at least until she could be settled into the earth?

And so we get a good look at what we are as a species. We are selfish and greedy and those in power are only interested in power, not even in our well-being.

Look at what we’ve done. Look hard at what we’ve done on this earth and to it.

This is about us. We surely aren’t pretty. We surely aren’t nice. We surely haven’t lived up to what we could be given all the tools we have.

I like to think of myself as a modest person. In fact, I’m more self-deprecating than braggadocios. I don’t toot my personal horn that often and underplay my achievements. I’m more embarrassed by compliments than most people, and I’m not all that socially graceful. I keep to myself as much as I can.

That’s me.

I’ve lived a modest life. I’ve earned a modest salary all my life and live now with my family on a modest pension and a modest amount of social security. I earned both. The social security I earned by working since I was old enough to work by law, and before that with my brother on his paper routes. He took two of them when he was eleven so I could do one and we could split the money. The pension I earned by teaching for more than 30 years.

We live in a modest home. We wear modest clothes, not name brands. We could maybe afford name brands, but we’d have to cut corners somewhere else. I buy refurbished computers and not even current state-of-the-art-ones at that, just solid, refurbished, durable computers.

We have second or third generation cell phones. I have a galaxy S8 plus that I bought refurbished now close to two years ago when the S9s were out and the S10s just coming out. We don’t eat steak or expensive sea food much and when we dine out, it’s the normal “family” places, not the fancy places. My $24,000 freezer isn’t filled with $12/pint ice cream. Oh, I forgot, that’s Nancy Pelosi.

I retired six years ago. But on our modest income I couldn’t afford to stay retired. So last year I went back to work.

This morning I mailed out a two thousand dollar “estimated tax” check to the IRS. I only work part time but the people who do my taxes said I have to pay quarterly taxes now, that the wonderful government you see on TV not protecting us from the anarchists burning up our cities and looting our stores is going to take about 30% of my part-time income.

I know all you regular people feel my pain. I know you’re thinking what I’m thinking. Part of that $2000 will be used to pay for welfare, medical care, food, housing, education and clothing for illegal aliens. Part of that $2000 will go to pay the salaries of people like Chuckie-boy Schumer and Nancy twenty-four-thousand-dollar-freezer-twelve-dollar-a-pint-ice-cream Pelosi, the one who just had to have her hair done in the closed salon. She’s the modern-day Marie Antoinette.

And so it goes.

I write this modest little piece that will be read by a modest number of people who already recognize the vanity, immodesty and hypocrisy of those who would, in their own hubris and narcissism, call themselves our Democrat leaders.

According to the DNC some startling new evidence has surfaced that incontrovertibly determines President Donald J Trump is personally responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. Independent fact checkers for CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC and NPR have confirmed the veracity of this new evidence.

The President was unavailable for comment.

Unfortunately for the President this was not all that was unearthed. Unbiased, independent research conducted by the DNC has also uncovered that the President is personally responsible for climate change. The DNC reported that their people have fact checked this information to confirm it. Air pollution and fossil fuel emissions that have caused the breach in the ozone layer and now threaten to destroy the earth’s atmosphere are all attributed to Donald J Trump. As they report, Trump is undoubtedly personally responsible.

Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler held a meeting in their secret bunker then announced that should Trump be re-elected, their first order of business would be to impeach him. They did not rule out multiple impeachments should their first one in the new term fail to remove Trump from office.

Bernie Sanders and the Ocasio-Cortez squad said they would support Pelosi in impeachment efforts and make sure the tax-payers funded it.

Joe Biden refused to comment until he could determine how this affected the polls, but Kamala Harris said should they win and she become the defacto president, she would prosecute Trump on multiple counts of dinosaur murder.

American flagThere isn’t much to say anymore since most people are already decided about how they are going to vote. There’s only a small percentage of voters in the middle, still on the fence, so to speak.

And so it goes. But as it goes, it goes without saying that never before has there been so much lying and such blatant hypocrisy displayed and perpetrated by our politicians.

Really.

And really so far the bulk of that is coming from one side.

Oh, you know by now what side I mean, and it’s not the right side.

The latest bit of lying and hypocrisy has to do with the post office and that shameful political theater those despicable Dems put out on Saturday, passing that bill that will go nowhere in the Senate.

Now I know all you left-wing brainwashed cultists are going to tell me that a whole load of Republicans signed off on it, which is true. But so what? It was a good way to score points with their constituents knowing full well it won’t mean a thing in the end.

The shamefulness of it, of their show was that they came back from break (why did they need that break–were they working really hard?) to pass this bill and Nancy dear, dear Nancy wouldn’t even meet with Mark Meadows to discuss a skinny bill to get aid to the American people. Even more shameful was the fact that a hearing with the postmaster general was scheduled for today. Shouldn’t they have heard what he had to say before they passed a bill?

Oh well! You know.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

And of course they heard from him on Friday in the Senate.

So isn’t that like the cart before the horse? Or in other terms, aren’t they just horses asses?

And aren’t we the stupid ones for electing them, and the bulk of them over and over again?

So… Wake America. It’s time to see what’s really there instead of taking what they’re telling us as any sort of truth. And that goes for both sides.

When you see the video of the destruction caused by the rioters and looters and the media calls it peaceful protest, is that so?

When you see the video of the police being attacked and people being beaten by the rioters and the media calls it peaceful demonstration, is that so?

When black lives matter people say looting and beatings and attacks on police are justified, even deserved, is that so?

I wonder.

When the Democrats kneel to pay homage to black lives matter yet do nothing to stop the wanton black on black crime in their cities, then say they really care about black lives, is that so?

When the mayors of the failing Democrat cities blame COVID for their longstanding city budget shortfalls, is that so?

When Nancy and Chuck say the Feds have to bail out the failing Democrat-run cities that are broke because of COVID, is that so?

When the lapdogs of the Democrats, the mainstream media Pravda USA, cover all of the above and/or report it with opinion pieces masquerading as unbiased reporting yet claim they are unbiased and fair in their reporting, is that so?

When Chuck, Nancy and Joe-boy blame Trump for everything wrong in government, is that so?

Well, Chuck and Nancy and Joe-boy combined have been in government for more than 125 years. That is so.

Trump has only been in government for three and a half years. That is so.

When the mainstream media Pravda USA echoes that Trump is to blame for everything, is that so?

The mainstream media Pravda USA lapdogs of the Despicable Democrats say they are telling us the truth. Is that so?

WYSIWYG Not. That is so.

What we are being told is happening and what is really happening in the United States are two different things. And that is so.

Biden is unfit to be president.

Now wait a minute all you cultist lefties and socialists. I know the thought you’re thinking before you’ve read any further is: And Trump is? Or, What about Trump?

Hello. Not talking about Trump. Talking about Biden. Not gonna talk about his dirty dealings, how his family has gotten rich in every country he was in charge of as VP. Not gonna talk about his racist statements, his racist record, his failure to produce anything of real significance as a senator. Not even gonna talk about his mumbling and bumbling or his old-age stuff, you know, not knowing where he is or what day it is, etc. Not even gonna talk about how he’s the classic dirty old man.

Nope this is just about his temperament.

So the other day he was on his bicycle and Peter Doocy asked him if he’d picked his VP yet and he quickly said yes. Then Doocy asked him who it was and he said “You.”

Nasty. Just plain nasty. And for no reason.

Think of all the times he’s called someone a dog-faced liar or a lying pony soldier or told them not to vote for him or invited them behind the high school bleachers (where he’d probably get his feeble ass kicked).

Is this the temperament anyone wants in a President? Think about it.

Oh, well, I know, you cultist non-thinkers won’t, but…think about it. His singular response to being challenged in thought is to lash out nastily. His one response to being asked a question other than what he’s prepared for is to lash out nastily.

They say he’s a nice guy. Who says that?

Really, is just plain nasty for no apparent reason other than simple defensiveness and lack of ability to think on the spot what you want in a president?

Joe Biden: just plain nasty.

Short and sweet because, you know, talking to the hard-core lefty converts, who are really cult members these days, is an exercise in futility.

So for my readers, and I thank you whole-heartedly for being my readers and for following here, this is for you.

The real danger in America these days is that we are being duped. Our left-wing leaders are selling snake oil, and their lapdogs, the mainstream media Pravda USA, are continually telling us, over and over, that it is real medicine.

Or, WYSIWYG Not. What you see is not what you got.

What you see and hear from the media is not what it is.

Why is complicated. So to make it quick and easy here, it’s about money and power.

Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and some other big techs have multi-billion dollar deals with China, who really is an enemy. So do people like Joe Biden and his family and many other politicians, though they are bit players comparatively. So does the NBA and other sports organizations and franchises.

President Trump is not one of them. As it works out, like it or not and like him or not, he threatens the whole of their system. They want us to believe that we need the politburo class, that class of career politicians like Schumer and Pelosi and Biden and so many more on both sides.

President Trump shows that we don’t need them. He shows that what we need are elected officials who actually care about the people and the country.

Like him or not, as do the jesters in Shakespeare, he has his hand on reality and speaks many truths that they don’t want you to hear and certainly don’t want you to believe. They don’t want you to believe it because it cuts into their money and power.

Think. Think. Think.

This is for you, those in the middle and still with open minds. Forget the lefty cult members. They will walk happily under the bus thinking it is good for them, smiling and saying the bus is free.

Those old snake oil salesmen, the carnival barkers and medicine men, went around selling bottles of medicine that could do anything from grow hair to cure warts and more. It was all in one bottle, same thing that could do all that.

Well, that’s Joe Biden (not really him because in his case it’s his handlers), Nancy Pelosi, Chucky boy, and that group of…who knows what to call them anymore?

Since the late 1960s, in one form or another, they’ve been pushing the same programs. And now, about a half century later, we can all see how greatly those programs have failed.

Or, why is it only the Democratic cities and states hopelessly and helplessly in debt, that have the highest crime, largest welfare rolls, poorest education results and highest taxes?

Think it’s an accident? Cause if you do, I have a bottle of snake oil to sell you, or a bridge.

So what’s their answer now? It’s simple. It’s to triple down on all their failed policies, to rip everything apart so they can rebuild in the same image that has failed for fifty years, a system and notions of a system we already know do not work and are destined to fail.

Remember shovel-ready jobs—that didn’t work because, oops, they weren’t shovel-ready.

Remember the solar companies like Solyndra? Well, they went belly up.

Remember the job solution? Darling Hillary said TS, retrain. She said she was putting the coal people out of work and manufacturing was never coming back.

Remember Obamacare and you can keep your own doctor?

Their answer is simple. Call Trump a racist. (Biden just said Trump was the first racist president.) Say Trump is the grand wizard of the KKK. Say it’s his pandemic. And then call him the “divider in chief.”

They are snake oil salesmen. They have nothing to offer so they are selling snake oil, “fake medicine,” and couching it in their promise of a whole host of freebies for everyone in the whole world who can get here, legally or not.

Well, nothing is free. And that’s what they have to offer, nothing.

Just about the whole population of the United States was in support of George Floyd, agreed that what happened to him and what we all saw over and over again on TV was horrible and egregious.

Just about the whole of the population of the United States supports equality, justice and fairness for all.

Just about the whole population of the United States, when asked individually and with questioning that isn’t pointed, would say they believe in live and let live and that they don’t care about race or religion, that if someone treats them nicely they are nice back.

In America, in actuality, that’s pretty much the way it is.

So what’s going on and why? One answer is that it’s not what you think.

What happened to George Floyd was so outrageous and so “out there” that it served to unify this country. That was a good thing.

But the demonstrations that have ensued: it’s not what you think. They ceased being demonstrations when they deteriorated into riots, into looting, into thuggery and finally into out-and-out anarchy.

Yes. It’s no longer civil rights activists protesting an injustice. It’s paid anarchists that hate America ripping things apart, literally and figuratively, who are using the genuine civil rights cause in America as a means to an end that most Americans do not want, would not support, and find contrary to their well-being.

Those protests turned anarchy gone wild: it’s not what you think.

It’s much, much more diabolical.

It’s much, much worse than what anyone would have imagined.

So where are the Democrats in all of this?

Who are the Democrats?

They are not who you think they are. They are not what you think they are. They do not support what you think they do.

For more than half a century the Democrats have been in charge of and have governed virtually unopposed the major cities with large “minority” concentrations. Under President Obama (and how is that a racist country elects an African-American president, or do we forget that?) more people went on welfare and food stamps, and he, Obama, did not effect or even attempt to effect any programs to better the plight of African-Americans in America.

How is that? Why is that? He controlled all three branches of government for his first two years.

Obama was not what you think he was. Obama was not who you think he was.

The Democrats, as their record over all time shows, are not who you think they are. What’s going on is not what they are telling you.

The Democrats and their lapdog mainstream media, Pravda USA: they are not who you think they are. They are snake oil salesmen, no better than the hucksters of old.

What’s going on with the anarchists and with Covid is not what you think it is. It’s not what they are telling you.
