FOLLOWING THE SCIENCE

The perverse world of Left-wing politics has degraded even the one area of purported objectivity—science. Confirmation of this view was made when Microsoft News revealed that scientists withheld their opinion that the Covid-19 virus originated in a lab because they felt that supporting President Trump would associate them with racism.

Alina Chan and 18 other scientists published a letter in the journal Science demanding a thorough study of the origin of the virus. The Chinese government has insisted that the origin of the virus was the result of animal-to-animal contact. The Trump administration believed that the origin was the Wuhan lab in Wuhan China, which is associated with the Chinese Army. Part of the lab’s known mission was gain of function research. Gain of function research has to do with making a virus more virulent, hence the Chinese army’s interest in the lab.  This lab is the only known one of its kind in China and successfully making a virus more potent made the Covid-19 a biological weapon.

President Trump repeatedly accused the Wuhan lab of either carelessly handling the virus or outright using it as a biological weapon. The later point seems to be unlikely because the Chinese killed some of its researchers and population at the outset of the pandemic which ensued. But like Leftist in the United States, they saw no reason to let a good crisis go to waste. So, instead of containing the disease in Wuhan alone, the Chinese released visiting non-Chinese back to their homes around the world as their stays ended. For China itself, they stopped flights out of Wuhan for other Chinese cities, thus contaminating the entire world, and minimizing the damage in China.

Getting back to Alina Chan and her cohorts, it turns out, according to Microsoft News and their source that: the “Researchers said the scientific evidence remained relatively unchanged but noted that “the context and circumstances of the origin debate have changed, NBC reported. One of the most notable changes in the “context” of the debate, according to Chan, was Trump’s departure from the White House.

Chan told NBC that some scientists had apprehensions about publicly discussing the lab leak possibility out of concern that their statements would be manipulated to suggest they were endorsing “racist” language about COVID’s origins in China — an apparent reference to Trump’s use of the phrase “Wuhan virus” and “Chinese Virus.”

‘At the time, it was scarier to be associated with Trump and to become a tool for racists, so people didn’t want to publicly call for an investigation into lab origins,’ Chan said in the interview.’

The left constantly told the big lie—that Trump was a racist. If you repeat a lie often enough, some people will believe it regardless of the lack of evidence to that effect. By designating the disease the Wuhan virus or Chinese virus, Trump was merely describing its source, which was clear even in the early stages of the pandemic. There was no difference in that than there was 102 years earlier when describing the Spanish flu in 1918 by its assumed source. The true context of this was the death of George Floyd which launched the left-wing protests which have led to the loss of life and billions of dollars in destruction in American cities run by—guess who—leftists. Those leftists have now found a new demon in the police as a part of the hate they have spread to divide the United States. The topic of demonizing the police is for another day.

If this story wasn’t telling enough, the rest of the story has been mostly uncovered by a Conservative investigation into the underlying facts of the pandemic. The once unknown and now infamously discredited Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) knew of the likelihood of the Chinese lab release of the virus and its work on gain of function research. He knew about it because he helped pay for it with U.S. taxpayer dollars. In addition to his confusing, inconsistent advice on how to handle the pandemic he was simultaneously concealing his involvement in in the Wuhan lab itself. Notably, the U.S. government decided to contribute to the labs gain of function research, which was considered unethical and illegal in the United States.  This was the medical equivalent of outsourcing torture of terrorists to friendly allies whose ethics did not prohibit the practice.

Instead of giving Americans different versions of whether and when to wear masks, or originally advising President Trump that the virus was likely the equivalent of the annual flu and other fallacious assertions, he should have simply said, “I don’t know.” But the ego of a bureaucratic leader who does not treat patients took hold, and his advice proved devastatingly wrong, especially in advocating in favor of lockdowns. Even the World Health Organization—a Chinese tool itself—now says this is not the way to fight the pandemic of 2020.

A recent study by Dr. Stephen Smith as well as older studies validated President Trumps assertion and that of scientists in the early stages of the pandemic that the commonly used (and inexpensive) drug, Hydroxychloroquine, improved outcomes against Covid-19. The hate-Trump and deny him any sort of victory at any cost press dominated the debate by opposing the drug and cost many lives. The politicization of this drug and the indifference to it by Dr. Fauci and left-wing pundits does not speak well of journalists and bureaucrats.

What the story of Fauci and Chan tell us about our age is not flattering either. Now we know that science is not free of politics or outside influence. We have learned that what we are told is science, is not always true Even proven science takes many years to validate. What we must learn from Chan and Fauci, or perhaps re-learn, is that the truth is preferable to lies and self-deception, that hate has unintended repercussions, and that evil done in the name of good is still evil.

A HIJACK IN PLAIN SIGHT

A recent poll indicated that 80% of Americans believe America is out of control. Here’s why:

The year began with a partisan impeachment of the president and quickly morphed into a pandemic.

All cops are beneficial?

 

The pandemic caused great pain to Americans who lost their jobs in droves, seemingly overnight. And then the horrific killing of George Floyd resulted in protests that turned into a riot.

Congress is split between the hate of Democrats in the House of Representatives and the weakness of Republicans in the Senate. Little gets done.

Local politics are strained. Trashed American cities, almost exclusively run by Democrats are, like the US House of Representatives, equally crazed. Local officials let their preferred political allies violate the law and punish their political foes.

The nationwide legitimate emotional outrage at the torture killing of George Floyd was hijacked by radical leftists. In one case, the city of Seattle, permitted the creation of a no police zone known as CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone), which morphed into the more manly CHOP (Capitol Hill Organized Protest). Mayor Jenny Durkan promised a “summer of love” in CHAZ/CHOP. The radicals in charge of Seattle having created their own seven block enclave, which they occupied for several weeks managed two murders, an attempted murder, reported extortion, rape, and robbery. The Seattle police department was replaced by AR-15 and baseball bat toting thugs, who foreshadow the police of the future. Expect the worst as the logic of the moment advocates defunding the official police. Who most wants to defend the police? It is, of course, the criminals.

These same Democrats who have told us to keep social distancing overlook the excessive crowding and spread of disease as they feel chaos aids their socialist agenda

Are they talking about themselves?

and effort to prevent a second term for Trump. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio won’t allow Coronavirus contact tracers to ask whether a disease carrier was involved in a protest. These same Democrats who opposed large gatherings overlook the illegal nature of the protests, and riots since their one-party status allows them to get away with just about anything.

Oh, yeah, the stock market has plunged and looks worse all the time.

In Portland, Oregon, the result of left-wing exercise of their 1st Amendment rights equated with a hammer fest on local windows, looting and riot. At least no one was killed.

Americans cannot even pray for

If I can’t have it, you can’t have it either.

peace in their churches, synagogues or mosques. So, it is a wonder that 20% of the population remains more optimistic than the rest. And, yes, that is the report for only the first half of 2020.

The last four years have seen Obama holdovers in America’s intelligence agencies, Department of Justice and FBI spy on the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, launch an investigation based on an unsubstantiated, and ultimately proven false report requested by and paid for by the opposite party’s candidate, Hillary Clinton.

The country also witnessed by the magic of video replay the Democrat’s current presumed presidential candidate, Vice President Joe Biden, order Ukraine’s government to stop investigating a local company, Burisma, fire the prosecutor who was doing the investigation, which they did, or lose the billion dollars the Obama administration promised otherwise.

When President Trump reported these facts to the government of Ukraine, which was required by treaty, the Democrats launched an investigation against the president on the grounds that ??? that he exposed a Democrat attempt to cover up his own misuse of American aid, contrary to American law. Oh, yeah, the Democrats undertook an investigation in which secret testimony, much of it exculpatory to the president, was withheld and prevented Republicans from calling their own witnesses or revealing the favorable testimony to the president and the public. On this basis, the impeachment of the president was launched. The House of Representatives impeached the president based on a strictly party line vote. The Senate failed to convict on a party line vote.

Not quite sure how Jesus and Trump got into this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, hear it is. With the November election on everyone’s mind, the American people will decide whether they will punish the victim and reward the perpetrator of unjust attacks supported by media elites, or defend the country against such abuses of power. You will get what you ask for.

TAKING CHARGE

Taking Charge

 

Photographs of President Trump often include a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the background, looking over the current president’s shoulder. This is no accident. From the beginning, The Trump administration seems to have channeled Jackson as if he were a spiritual essence haunting the White House. Jackson’s tenure as president was marked by political turbulence and controversy. Perhaps his greatest contribution was to avoid a civil war and hold the union together over the concept of nullification. Breaching the previous understanding of the U. S. Constitution as the supreme law of the land, South Carolina declared the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 null and void within that state’s boundaries. South Carolina viewed its rights as a state to be superior to those of the Federal Government on the grounds that states had the right to nullify federal laws within their own boundaries.

Although a southerner, Jackson, with authority granted from Congress signed the Force Bill in 1833, which authorized the president to collect the tariff. The concept of nullification slept for 28 years until the Civil War. There was a revival of the argument, that the states had formed a compact. The reason the states are called states has to do with the view that they retained a certain amount of sovereignty over their own existence and could ignore the federal government. The Confederate states argued that the rights granted the federal government were revocable. They paid the price in dead and generations of wasted human capital until the current modern era. Indeed, each state has an executive, judicial, and legislative branch in the same vein as the federal government. Jackson thwarted the effort of South Carolina to nullify the federal government tariff.

Today, we have a desperate left-wing in states again broadly trying to defeat a President by nullifying law. The Left has banded together to form a compact of their own. The National Public Vote law passed by many states requires that each state agreeing to the compact will honor the popular vote result even if it conflicts with the electoral college. President Trump beat Senator Hillary Clinton by winning the electoral vote although she polled about 3 million votes more. The Democrats are unhappy because they have been burned twice recently by this phenomenon. The last time it happened was when George Bush defeated Al Gore in a closely contested election. Before that, the last such circumstance was in 1888. The National Public Vote law may be illegal. But the courts will decide the next time there is a conflict between the two kinds of votes. Since Trump has appointed the last two Supreme Court justices, and there is a fairly solid Republican core of five usually reliable justices, it is unlikely the nine-person court will go for a coup and rule against the primacy of the electoral college.

Governors of the Left have been a little more successful at thwarting federal law by not providing information on illegal aliens and not turning over criminals in custody no matter how severe the crime. That story is not finished.

The most recent left-wing attempt to thwart the President has been the agreement among a group of states to go their own way in opening up their state quarantine orders. California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Colorado have agreed among themselves that they will coordinate the stages reopening their states to education, commerce, and the usual routine business of people currently fettered by the orders of the state governors. Siting’s of large numbers of beach goers in California show that the people may decide for them. For his part, the president has ceded the operation of each state to the governors, although he still remains hands on regarding the administration of certain federal responsibilities.

Reopening the states have devolved into a partisan tool. Democrats are apparently willing to stop commerce in their states for the purpose of sabotaging the economy just enough so that Trump has difficulty getting re-elected. Trump, for his part, is intent on getting the economy going for just the opposite reason. Trump’s communicating ability with his supporters in arenas are threatened by a prolonged closure of close contact. That any leader in America would hurt people in this way for political gain shames the country. They are biting on what they see as a no-loose scenario. If Trump violates the states quarantine guidelines, they will say that Trump caused X amount of deaths, whatever the figure is at a given moment in time before the November election. If states remain closed and the economy does not rev up soon, they have the argument that it is Trumps fault, as they tie him, no matter how unfairly, to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. From here on in, it will be necessary to trust the American people with good judgment.

A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES

We are often charmed by the mistaken words of children who mangle new sounds or fall awkwardly as they try to take their first steps. Not so charming are the flubs and failures of older children—especially those called Democrats.

Here is the explanation. The long-awaited Iowa Caucuses descended on that great State yesterday (2/3/20). The Republican version, with a single candidate, Donald Trump, passed by the public quietly. Progressive, Democrat politics, with its polyglot, babbling team of desperate power seekers, was where the action was. As of the next morning, the results were not in. The reason: Democrats had arranged to report the individual caucus results by way of a high-tech app prepared by the Democrats themselves. The idea was to bring instant results to the news-hungry press awaiting the kickoff event of the next presidential election cycle.

The app and the backup provisions failed dramatically. Even the sycophantic left-wing press was left out to dry. The Progressives provided Conservatives with a dramatic metaphor illustrating the weakness in the idea that Progressive wisdom anticipates the future with brilliant plans. If only the rest of the world could understand their genius. Conservatism Bittersweet has compiled some of the internet comments generated after the Iowa fiasco. At last report, every candidate declared victory and is moving on to New Hampshire.

NGO GOOD

Portland, Oregon has seen its share of peace signs. It was a hotbed of flower power in the 60’s in opposition to the war in Viet Nam. The slogan back then was, “make love, not war.” Leftist radicalism was at the root of Oregon politics. That the left did not live up to the “love” part was always understood. Eugene, Oregon was also the sight of vandalism. The University of Oregon ROTC building was torched and vehicles at a car dealership were destroyed. Tree spikers risked the lives of loggers in order to stop logging. Still, it was a national problem.

Some groups were violent or threatened violence. Patty Hearst was kidnapped on February 4, 1974 by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). The next year, another domestic terror group, the Weather Underground, bombed a State Department Building. No one was killed, but the following year they perpetrated 25 bombings. The group was corralled by improved police work but lasted into the mid-‘80s when the last members of the group stopped the attacks, although some did not answer for their crimes for decades. The Revolutionary Black Panther Party carried guns and advocated for black nationalism and was perceived as a threat to order by the police of the day.

Since the 60’s, the sense of moral entitlement has been retained, but now violence from the Left has been directed at conservatives, the most recent of which has been Andy Ngo. By way of background, Ngo, an Asian American of slight build and pacific temperament, is conservative writer. He also happens to be gay. None of this is relevant to the issue of the crime committed against him except it bears on the motive for the hate crime perpetrators who caused him brain and other injuries. He was known to Antifa thugs and so it was not surprising when they spotted him during one of their controlled riots. In a recent Fox News interview, he stated that he was struck with a brick or other hard object and was dazed as a result. As he ambled off the scene, visibly shaken, he was continuously assaulted and humiliated by masked assailants.

Meanwhile police lined the street and did nothing to stop the assault. When Ngo, dazed and confused, was able to make his way to an officer away from the frothing demonstrators, he was told by the officer that he could get a ride in an ambulance, but only if he walked to the police station. Ngo was eventually evacuated to a hospital where he says he was diagnosed with bleeding in his brain and numerous cuts and abrasions caused by the pummeling he took, including, he thought, from milkshakes laden with cement. Throwing milkshakes on conservatives has been a recent method of protest by protesters in Great Britain.

The attack on Ngo was part of a wider unpermitted conflict labeled by the police as a “civil disorder,” thus defining the conflict below the status of riot. The Oregonian [July 2, 2019] described some of the Antifa violence that occurred in addition to that against Andy Ngo, as follows:

“Gage Halupowski, 24, of Portland, faces a second-degree assault allegation, accused of repeatedly using a baton to strike a man near Pioneer Square. Police said Halupowski also turned on a second man, Adam Kelly, who tried to help the man who was no the ground and bleeding. An officer watched Halupowski deliver a ‘full overhead swing that struck the top of Kelly’s head from behind’ and reported that the ‘sound of the blow was sickening,’ causing many in the crowd to collectively gasp, according to a probable cause affidavit. Kelly received more than 20 staples to close wounds to his head and suffered a concussion.”

Violence against Conservative supporters of President Trump has been a recurring tragedy. The Trump campaign and the Trump presidency have been subject to violence of one kind or another—everything from egg throwing to vandalism, to bodily threats, to political suppression by indifference.

Those who blame the president need to know that they will not succeed in their tactics. Attacks on free speech as has been seen at the University of California at Berkeley teach violence.

The same The Oregonian article also noted that “ . . . public safety advisor Robert King was telling reporters that police are directed to enforce all laws as they’re ‘able to’ and work to keep feuding demonstrators separated. Would they act the same if their salary was paid as the city was able? Would the city’s Mayor and Commissioners behave differently if they were paid as the city was able?

Recently, violence in this country was attributed to White Nationalist. Political violence is not justified in a Democracy. Judging by the City of Portland, violence is allowed. Violence will beget violence regardless of the inner political meaning intended by its sponsors.

Some have blamed President Trump for hostility and violence in America. Two recent gun attacks sparked sadness and outrage in the country. One in El Paso, Texas where twenty were recently reported killed and twenty-four wounded and Dayton, Ohio were nine dead and twenty-six wounded were also reported shocked the nation. The President denounced White Supremacy, although White Supremacists were not involved in both cases. The perpetrator in Dayton was said to have been a support of the left-wing Senator from Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren. The El Paso shooter released a racist “manifesto” condemning Hispanics entering the United States which was, in his view, damaging to the environment. The Left seized on half the truth and blamed President Trump, which caused him to, once again, condemn White Nationalism. Most Americans have, by now, become used to the half-truths and lies propagated by the “fake news” media. They ignore Madonna having thoughts of threats of bombing the White House, Kathy Griffin holding a severed fake Donald Trump head, and many other vicious attacks on the President.

No president has ever had to endure the kinds of political attacks that President Trump has had to absorb. The highlight of these might include the false charge of collusion that has dogged his presidency since the beginning of this presidency. Based on no justifiable facts, nineteen Lawyers were assembled to provide a report to the Attorney General on Trump’s involvement. Th result of the investigation was a legal document known as the Mueller Report. It revealed no criminal guilt against the President, yet the nineteen Democrat lawyers writing the report were sure to insinuate there was proof of a kind, only if Congress continues to investigate the President. Even the lack of evidence does not stop the accusations. And in dogging the President, the President’s opponents have not only called him racist, misogynist, treasonous, and many other names, but maligned him and his family, including his children and wife, and anyone who touches him.

Not only that, but members of Congress and many others have encouraged their supporters to verbally assault the President, Cabinet supporters, and employees of the President in public places—anywhere they might be in order to attack the President. Yet they claim President Trump is the cause of internal conflict in America. The Big lie is always preferable to the Left and is reminiscent of Nazi claims against Jews.

Political violence in America is not new. The Civil War took 700,000 lives and claimed to make the point that violence is the answer to divisions in America. But the left in the 20th and 21st century has set the tone by directly assaulting Democracy. In America, there is no place for hate speech of any kind. From Andy Ngo to President Trump, the Left knows no bounds in their attack on Democracy. Small targets to big targets receive whatever treatment is necessary to discredit the Conservatism that created America and culminated in a Constitution that set the limits of government and defined personal freedoms. The Left assures us that their moral superiority is all that we need. The worst-case scenario for America is to allow complacency to replace the noble values our country has fought for over its history. The Leftward vision projects a one-party state run by elite bureaucrats and politicians who design governmental policy in backrooms based on secret manifestos of their own which are designed to remove individuality and decent from their decisions. In Congress, the left labels itself “the resistance.” The election of President Trump exposed the failures of the Left and revealed much more truth than they could have envisioned. Just the same, Americans must lawfully oppose in a long struggle the uncivilized barbarism of the hallucinating heads on the necks of left-wing agitators whose nihilistic bias is the enemy of America.

DONALD TRUMP IS A HUMAN BEING

Donald Trump is a human being. Is this a clear and concise enough statement for the left-wing crazies of America to understand. The level of abuse endured by this president has been extraordinary. As Conservatism Bittersweet has recognized before, the Left is right to be unhappy. President Trump has proven them wrong, and nothing is more embarrassing or frustrating than that.

 

America was told by left-wing elites that the steel industry and other industrial businesses were dead. President Trump proved that wrong. Other deceptions or incompetency’s by the Left suggested that America was enjoying maximum prosperity under the heavy regulation and high taxes of the Obama Administration. Instead, the economy bloomed under the leadership of Trump, pursuing an opposite strategy of low regulation (by eliminating two regulations for every new one and giving everyone a tax break.) The Left under President Obama signed the Paris accord which he knew Congress would not approve as a treaty because it required the United States to pay for other countries green initiatives, among other faults. Trump withdrew from the agreement with Iran which had been falsely pitched as a denuclearization of Iran. The Obama Administration also transferred $180 Billion in cash to Iran, thus funding their missile, nuclear, and foreign military programs of these assassins of American and allied troops.

The Leftward narrative asserted that Trump was guilty of abusing children on the U.S. southern border. Never did such accusers mention that the President was left with Obama era laws that made it impossible to deter illegal border crossings into the United States. Trump’s solution is a border wall for much of the length of the U.S.-Mexico border. To pay for the wall, he is going over the veto of house Democrats and Senate filibuster threats. No wonder they are angry. He is finding a solution to a problem they created under the Obama Administration in which illegal immigrants were given unconstitutional legal status (the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program). There was only a weak effort to stop human and drug trafficking on the border as Democrats sought further electoral support from grateful illegal aliens or those sympathetic to them. They want to play ruff, but they can’t take it. Democrats in Congress complained that there was no border crisis, that the crisis was manufacture by a racist Trump Administration. More recently, Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated, “We never said there wasn’t a crisis.” Apparently public sentiment was turning the Left’s narrative into an obvious falsehood.

In order to counter the truth of Trump policies, including a flourishing economy, the Left (including the “Deep State,”) concocted a story asserting that Trump colluded with Russians in what was asserted to be an anti-Hillary Clinton campaign, to win the election. Using false research, actually commissioned by Hillary Clinton, the Left used this threat and Deep State Condoterrie to concoct a story that the President had conspired with the Russians to sabotage the election in Trump’s favor. The level of persecution knew no bounds as the President, his family, and supporters were attacked by 19 attorneys, nine of which had contributed to the Hillary Clinton Campaign. Even with the deck stacked, the Deep State Democrats could not come up with a plausible scenario in which President Trump colluded with the Russians to defeat Clinton. The Deep State attorneys produced a report (the Mueller Report to the Attorney General) which exonerated the President on charges of collusion (which is not a crime, go figure) but left a smear on the president in stating that Trump could not be exonerated of obstruction of the investigation. What constitutes obstruction, especially for a sitting president is a matter of legal debate, but Mueller violated a principle of judicial procedure in leaving this taint on the report as it was his duty to either recommend prosecution or not. Instead he left this crumb of personal animus for the Democrats to continue their contrived narrative.

Unable to remove the President by the false collusion narrative, the Democrat Deep Staters have talked impeachment. But Speaker Pelosi sees the political danger in making accusations again that prove to be false. Alienating the moderate voting public is proving to be a dangerous tac.

The collapse of the Mueller investigation narrative has not stopped the Democrats and their long history of abuse of the President. Unable to prove that the president and his supporters colluded with the Russians or obstructed the investigation, they now see impeachment as a demonstration of their emotional state. Some of the older Democrats remember the failure of the Clinton impeachment which did not impede his reelection. The Democrats, whose loyalty to left-wing ideological fantasy’s blinds their judgment to real world practical considerations, continue to heap abuse against the President. , John Brennan he former CIA chief, verbally assaults the President calling him treasonous. He does this though it is Brennan who betrays the values of America’s belief in fair play and the legal principle of innocent until proven guilty. Brennan is thought to have violated the law with leaks, though this has yet to be proven in a court of law. A court Mr. Brennan may see soon as the evidence mounts against him.

The lack of respect for the Office of President tears at the fabric of America and sets a precedent for those who follow. Deep Staters should rethink their politics of abuse. It may come back to bite them some day.

Likewise, the charge of racism leveled by some of the Presidents opponents bespeaks of a monumental lack of judgement. Ironically, some of those hurling the racism charges are among the anti-Semitic cult of extremists that is totally unaware of their own contradictions. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) has a world class hate list, including the President of the United states and an entire nation—Israel. Saying the president is racist even as he designs a better life for minorities through early release of prisoners who have not committed a violent crime, opportunity zones, and improves job chances for the bottom ten percent denies truth through action.

While there are as many contenders for hate-speech champion, the queen of all of them is Maxine Waters whose advocacy for disruptive behavior has been questioned even by a handful of her own fellow Democrats. Remember Maxine, what you can do to others can be done to you. Remember that the use of Executive power by President Obama has led to the use of Executive power by the Trump Administration. The precedents you give are the precedents you will get. You and your fellow Democrats created or supported the policies on immigration that President Trump must deal with today. If families are separated, join in a bi-partisan effort to change the Obama laws. But continue to abuse President Trump. You will get him elected. Someday you may realize the truth of your abusive nature. You said, “God is on our side.” You should be sure of what you say and do because God is on the side of the just and the righteous, not the unjust and the self-righteous. The best bet for you is to conduct yourself with respectful words given your position of responsibility. Harassing those you disagree with and hissing like a snake will not make your case. This advice is needed for the legions of media pundits, Progressive Democrats, and blind followers stuck in the same empty echo chamber. Everyone deserves fairness and you have not given that to President Trump, though he remains and will always be a human being.

DIVISION IN AMERICA

Flying flash bang grenades, foul invective and, violent threats to fellow human beings seem to coincide with the appearance of Donald Trump on the political scene. So, is it true that Donald Trump has caused these sordid events to occur?

Wikipedia notes an Einsteinian principal, as follows: “simultaneity is not an absolute relation between events” Put another way, two events occurring at the same time do not prove that one occurred as the result of the other.

In the case of the Trumpian presidential candidacy, it can fairly be said that rough language and ad homonym attacks happened during the primary. By conventional standards, John McCain was a war hero, and yet Trump suggested the opposite. Trump, also, denigrated a Muslim family speaking against him at the Democratic Convention whose son had died in service to his country. At the same time, patriotic Republicans were getting ready to nominate Donald Trump and elect him.

During the Campaign, Trump, the presidential candidate, labeled Hillary Clinton as “crooked Hillary”. That the truth is a defense in argument, makes the candid, if impolite words, more stinging. Trump jumped from mere slander to sharp harangues that said something. Hillary Clinton committed felonies in using a non-government issued server and obstruction of justice in destroying equipment and information belonging to the government in an attempt to cover up her crime.

Up to that point, the Left-leaning press, had mocked Trump in documented scenes of derisive laughter while denouncing the possibility that a billionaire businessman and reality show host with orange hair could ever become president of the United States. As the race progressed, this view never changed because they knew that America saw what they could plainly see, Hillary Clinton would be the first female president and her views were the mainstream and the embodiment of American values.

On election day, the bad news arrived like that old two-by-four on the forehead. The idolizing press wept and struggled to explain the Clinton loss. It was not just a political setback, but the death of a vision. As Hillary supporters began to absorb the setback, their emotions and their minds began to separate.

As time went by, the Hillary opposition coalesced behind a cabal of Department of Justice and FBI conspirators who contrived to undermine the authority of President Trump by inventing a story of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Never mind revelations by Wikileaks of actual collusion by the Hillary campaign to deny Bernie Sanders the nomination. Among other revelations, this appears to be a case of blaming the victim for what the perpetrator did herself. As noted, Hillary through her Democratic National Committee (DNC) tool contacted Russians using a route designed to create deniability. The DNC/Hillary actors contracted the firm, Fusion GPS, who contacted British spy Christopher Steele, who contacted the actual Russians who produced the so called “dossier” implicating President Trump before he became president in scandalous behavior in Russia. The dossier has, since, been repudiated by Christopher Steele as untruthful. Money will work wonders when you are talking millions of dollars from deceitful Democrats. Recent information shows the true collusion was between Bruce Ohr of the FBI whose wife works for, surprise, Fusion GPS. The Left continues to fight the facts as they are revealed one by one by investigations through congressional inquiries.

Still in denial over their stunning loss of the sure thing presidency, the Left contrived to connect Trump to actual knowledge of and collusion with a known attempt by Russia to induce division in America by releasing, what has become, “fake news.” The idea of simultaneity appears. If the sun rises and sets every day, and so does Trump from his bed, there must be a connection.

So, you ask, what does this have to do with the idea of division in America? The answer is that it is not the coarse-speaking Trump who has lowered the level of respect in this country, but the very real actions of Trump’s political opponents. It is obvious that emotions play a strong part in the enfolding events and magnify every word into vitriol. But the reality of the Trump Presidency has been the true nightmare for the Left. Truthfully, it has been a Shakespearean drama once the left realized how deeply conservative the president actually was and is.

The vision of Hillary as the first female president lacks consequence compared to the actual damage done to the world view of the Left—a view taken as sacrosanct and universally understood on their part. No longer would the selected elite be running an empire dedicated to the fear of death by planet overheating. The regulatory environment established by the Left, much of it by presidential executive order and bureaucratic control, appeared to collapse as the people realized the connection between suppressed employment and their own lives.

Even before the President took office, business confidence was boosted. Then, a tax reduction was signed by the president, jobs became plentiful, minorities once cast outside the circle of wealth, now had a way to build their own lives around income greater than the handout culture cultivated by the Democrats.

Great symbols of left wing victory came crashing to the ground as oil leases were granted on sacred democratic turf they thought would never be touched by any president. The same was true for bureaucratic control as Trump cited a new rule: for every new regulation, two had to be eliminated. Automobile mileage regulations were frozen, thus saving American automobile companies millions of research dollars. The research dollars will become investment dollars, and more liquidity percolates through the economy generating even more business activity and more jobs in a virtuous circle.

The Left has responded to the demolition of their empire with hate speech, and silence at the atrocious, rock throwing, window bashing, behavior of anarchist groups. And as they contribute to the retrograde confrontational nature of American leftist culture, they are defined, as the clergy say, by what they choose to ignore.

In the end, it was not Trump’s language that  lowered the level of discussion, but it was the act of tearing down the leftist world created by the Obama administration that did the trick. The response by the chief sponsors of the welfare state has generated the language of lies, obfuscation, and deception that reveals how the Left has lost their judgment along with their minds. The substance and revelatory nature of the Trump administration is what continues to exercise the hateful side of the Left in America. With business confidence restored, President Trump has been able to create jobs by reducing bureaucratic weights on business activity. He has also stimulated the economy with tax reductions for most taxpayers and the result has exposed the drag on the economy created by the Obama administration.

Finally, it is the unmasking of the truth that the left cannot abide.

JIHAD

The United States is headed towards a crisis. Democrats, well versed in the art of treachery, have launched their own Jihad (holy war) against the duly and legally elected president of the United States. There Jihad is not much different from that of ISIS.

For they believe they have superior moral values and greater intellectual breadth than anyone else outside their elite bounds. They have determined that anything – no lie, no deception, no illegality – is unreasonable in their attempt to unseat the legally elected president. It has led the left-wing press (an unavoidable redundancy) to turn the truth upside down. It has led the lefty columnist Eugene Robinson to persecute the president and accuse him of having a persecution complex. It has, more recently [The Oregonian, 8/6/17], caused Ruth Marcus, another of the lefty press to accuse the president of “. . . a one-man assault on the rule of law.”

The topsy-turvy world of Ruth Marcus believes that, “Trump’s campaign and now his presidency have been an unceasing effort to demean the Constitution. From “fake news” to “so-called” judges, from his ill-considered travel ban to encouraging police officers’ roughing up of suspects, Trump is a one-man assault on the rule of law.”

Let us put aside the idea that Ms. Marcus looks past the obliteration of 33,000 subpoenaed emails by Hillary Clinton and the use of a private server, contrary to U. S. law, as well as many other questionable practices. Let us look past the support for illegal aliens, including criminals. (We don’t have enough already in this country). Let us look at the idea that President Trump, defending himself against the contrived, false charges of a Russian conspiracy is not allowed to voice his views because, why? Oh, he is not allowed to defend himself by exposing the methods of left-wing propaganda or the efforts of the deep state to undermine his presidency and by the “resistance” movement, which includes a left-wing establishment of judicial extremists who believe that they are the law, not the interpreters of the law.

For sure, President Trump does not play by the rules of understatement and pretense typical of all the players in Washington D. C. He has attracted the support of equally blunt and unpretentious thinkers among the working class as well as many fellow Republicans. He is not always right. But here is the difference, he is not undermining the process of selecting a president by political legerdemain and savage hatred by pretense. What is the proof of this? Before even his inauguration, his enemies called for his impeachment. There has been an unrelenting scream of hate speech built into nearly all the commentary about President Trump. The news operations of the establishment press have been non-stop in their unkind interpretations of Trump policy.

They did not pause to think about how President Obama’s policies “evolved” over time. In fact, before he accomplished anything, President Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize. The expectations of the press and the deep state were set from the beginning of both presidencies, and they became self-fulfilling.

The current president has been the victim of illegal acts, not the perpetrator of them. A conversation of General Michael Flynn was illegally leaked to the press, which was dutifully printed by the bearers of stolen words. Conversations with foreign leaders and President trump have also been leaked. More leaks have occurred from the current administrations than any others and some, if caught, will go to jail. The unrelenting sympathy for a Democrat congressperson shot by an imbalanced gunman compares to the disappearing coverage of Steve Scalise and a group of Republican congresspersons who were near victims of an assassination attempt. Let us hope that Steve Scalise and the other targets don’t have a persecution complex.

It is stating the obvious, that Ruth Marcus and a host of insiders have, to varying degrees, launched a political attack against the sitting President of the United States. This is politics. Politics can be rough, and that is not the complaint. The complaint is that the hypocrisy of the left has come to the point of stealing the election by the appointment of a special prosecutor by one of the witnesses involved in the complaint. The special prosecutor, a friend of the discredited former James Comey, has appointed a list of Democrat attorneys to aid him in his investigations. To President Trump, this is a set-up. They will find something illegal to accuse the president of doing. Ms. Marcus who reveres the Constitution, will drop her pretense of innocent until proven guilty, and announce an I-told-you-so victory, along with other deep state backers, and hound the president until he has been impeached. The people who did not see perjury in Bill Clinton as a high crime or misdemeanor will have the opportunity to remove the duly elected president for advocating for his people. If this scenario should enfold, the crisis will begin. The left may see a President Pense as a victory, but democracy will have failed. We shall not go beyond this point. But if this scenario is not chilling to citizens of the United States, then you are living in the Ruth Marcus fantasy world, that actions have no consequences, and the Newtonian rule that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
