The Republican Debate

"Peter" has some thoughts on the GOP Debate.

The GOP Candidate Debates

The best line came from Brett Baier, “The elephant not in the room”; referring obviously to the least-liked former POTUS, Donald Trump. Trump will be Biden’s age before he finishes another term in office. But there is no chance of the GOP taking the White House, let alone the House or Senate, if Trump is their nominee. He is despised by far too many Republicans and Independents, who would vote for Biden – or anyone else - over Trump.

 

The RNC is obviously worried about Vivek Ramaswamy. He was interrupted and attacked more than any other candidate. But he did himself in when he said he would not continue the funding for the defense of Ukraine.

 

Pence was rude and interrupting beneath his façade of sanctimony. He held his chin a bit too high.

 

Christie made some good points, but he still comes off as too “New Jersey” and too fat.

 

Haley scored some points with women by quoting Margaret Thatcher, “If you want something done right, ask a woman”. But we all knew that; our wives had already said it.

 

DiSantis scored more points than any of the others and had what he’s done in Florida for proof. His best comment was that, as POTUS, he would use US Special Forces inside Mexico to root out cartel bosses and kill them; and any cartel soldiers or drug smugglers who crossed our border.

 

Tim Scott seems a nice guy who just isn’t ready.

 

Doug Burgum is a firebrand for his age, but he doesn’t have the necessary experience.

 

Asa Hutchinson, also getting up there in age, was just barely hanging on by his fingernails.

 

All in all DiSantis appears to have taken his lead even farther. Here’s hoping he can dethrone The Donald.

Marxist Power in the USA

"Peter" has some thoughts about Marxism in the USA.

How did the Marxists gain so much power in the USA under the noses of our FBI and NSA?

 

The Marxist socialists have taken control of the democratic party. They have infiltrated our school systems and control most teacher’s unions. They hold powerful political offices in many of our major cities, including prosecutor’s offices and police departments. As a result, crime has skyrocketed and cities have devolved into high violence and slow police response.

 

People are fleeing in huge numbers from blue states to red states to be safe under conservative leadership. Inner city decay and homelessness are now considered the new normal. Politicians are deluded into thinking that less policing will help; or they know it won’t help and they push for defunding the police because they are anti-American Marxists.

 

We are approaching a new, Great Depression that will make the last one seem tame by comparison. But this didn’t happen overnight.

 

We are the frog in the boiling pot. Our schools have been very slowly changing curricula over decades so that parents wouldn’t notice. Slowly indoctrinating students in Marxist philosophy while, at the same time, dumbing them down in the hard sciences, reading, math and foreign languages. Dulling their critical thinking. Giving trophies for “participating” rather than for actual achievement.

 

Now that that part of their conspiracy has been accomplished, they are corrupting vulnerable, confused kids with transgender ideology; again, without the knowledge or permission of the parents.

 

This is, literally, the age of zombies. Young adults are casting votes without the critical thinking they should have had. Their vision is blurred with a constant barrage of Marxist propaganda and a lack of real-world experience. They outnumber the more mature adults by a considerable percentage.

 

The US Department of Education leads the charge against parochial schools nationwide. The USDOJ and the FBI have followed with threats of prosecution of parents for “disrupting” school board meetings and civil rights violations for opposing transgender ideology in the schoolroom.

 

Our private Christian and Jewish schools are being attacked constantly by the Marxist-controlled media and our own government, which insist that we must accept transgender ideology and the rest of the Marxist playbook or be found in violation of whatever they can concoct. Look what they’ve done to Trump, a former POTUS and current front-runner for the GOP nomination next year. Four indictments, both state and federal, for multiple felony counts, and all coordinated to hit him in a very short span of time; so that he will be busy in several courts during the primary season next year. Coincidence or conspiracy?

 

This is 1984 on steroids! Unfortunately, we may be past the point of no return. If a democrat is elected to the White House in 2024, the Marxist vise will tighten until we all surrender or go to prison as revolutionaries. There will be no middle ground with these Marxists.

The Shiny Object Syndrome

"Peter" has some thoughts regarding Trump's indictment.

The trumped-up Trump indictment was not filed to expect a conviction for any crime. It was filed to distract people, like the shiny object used by a magician.

 

Since the announcement of the indictment, have we heard anything on the all-news stations about the invasion at our southern border? Or our catastrophic foreign affairs? Or the overwhelming crime wave in our blue cities, like Portland and San Francisco? Or our weak and woke military? Or the Biden bribery schemes that were advantageous to China? Or our failing economy? Or inflation?

 

The democrats know that indicting Trump guarantees him the nomination for POTUS. They want him as an opponent because they think they can beat him in the election. They think he’s vulnerable because people tend to believe that where there’s smoke, there’s fire and Trump has been accused of so many things by the democrats over so many years that people won’t trust him.

 

They don’t care about winning the court case against Trump, years down the road; they care about the election. They know he’s going to be their opponent because Republicans are so outraged at this indictment that, out of vengefulness and anger, they will vote to nominate no one else but Trump. They want another Biden-Trump contest where Biden stays in his basement and Trump goes from rally to rally, totally ignored by the press and social media again blocks conservative views from their platforms.

 

But we can throw a monkey wrench into their works by nominating someone else, like Ron DeSantis or Mike Pence.

 

Conservatives may believe that Trump is a victim and deserves the nomination because he was a very good POTUS. But he’s not more important than our cause. We must act pragmatically to win the White House and the Senate, and hold on to the House, without considering emotion or sentiment. We must have a nominee without a ton of baggage as fodder for the media.

 

Yes, the DOJ and FBI are corrupt; but that is a good reason for winning the White House at all costs, even if it means sacrificing Trump in the process.

 

We MUST stop the WOKE agenda and the nonsense of trying to control the climate. We MUST rebuild the military, especially the Navy, to check the aggression of China. We MUST become energy independent once again, as we were under Trump’s presidency.

The Marxist’s Plan for Rebuilding America

"Peter" has some thoughts about the Marxist's plan to rebuild America

 

“Marxism posits that the struggle between social classes—specifically between the bourgeoisie, or capitalists, and the proletariat, or workers—defines economic relations in a capitalist economy and will lead inevitably to a communist revolution.”

 

Marxists also believe that before you can build a new house, you must first demolish the old house and lay in a new foundation. Their path to demolishing the old house, America, is in dividing the population against each other by use of polarizing issues; and weakening the country by attacking the economy and the financial structure.

 

Examples

 

Reducing energy output, such as cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline, to wipe out energy independence.

 

Using “green” religious doctrine, such as reducing CO2 emissions, to attack gas fired electrical generating plants, vehicles and even the natural gas stoves in our homes, to cause further division and economic harm.

 

Using false charges of racism whenever and wherever possible to make racism the central component of any argument or issue.

 

Attacking individuals and institutions with false accusations of racism to “cancel” their voices and remove them from society.

 

Using our public schools to indoctrinate children to divide them from their parents using racial rhetoric and inappropriate sexual issues, such as gender dysphoria or LGBTQ “drag shows”, encouraging confused children to question their sexuality and even get gender reassigning hormonal therapy and often surgery without the knowledge or permission of the parents.

 

Weakening America around the world by foreign policy blunders, military blunders, intelligence blunders and national security blunders; along with a weak and fragile POTUS globe-trotting and blundering his way through dozens of foreign speeches filled with gaffes, lies, retractions, insults and meaningless drivel. Of course, the globe-trotting “word salad” speeches of the VP are always available to make the POTUS seem articulate by comparison.

 

Weakening the military with “woke” policies and DEI mandates; and making them appear dishonorable and incompetent, such as the surrender to the Taliban and the stupidly planned withdrawal, leaving behind tens of billions of dollars’ worth of military hardware, vehicles and equipment for the Taliban to sell to our adversaries; leaving behind hundreds of Americans along with thousands of allies. A huge stain on our military, directed by our “Manchurian candidate” POTUS – a true Marxist.

 

America is already well on the way to being torn down to her foundation, the U.S. Constitution.

 

Now the Marxists are attacking the Constitution itself. Free speech was written into the Constitution in the First Amendment. It is intended to protect unpopular views so that people hear every side of an issue. Our newspapers and social media depend on it for their existence, yet they have, stupidly, cooperated in censoring free speech by punishing those with whom they disagree. A recent example is Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip and books. In a podcast, Adams said he preferred living in an all-white neighborhood to a racially mixed neighborhood because there was less crime. Newspapers across the country immediately removed the Dilbert comic strip from their papers. Adams has fallen into obscurity and has lost his main source of income. That is censorship. That is an attack on the First Amendment. Whether you agree with his opinion or not, you must respect his right to speak it.

 

The Second Amendment gives us the right to possess firearms. It is not intended solely for personal defense; it is intended to protect the citizenry from a tyrannical government bent on totalitarian oppression. Democrats want strict gun control, even gun confiscation. They attack the Second Amendment constantly, always blaming the gun rather than the criminal pulling the trigger. They do it not because they believe it, but because it is a means to an end; the end of the Second Amendment.

 

The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees due process in our judicial system. Marxist- backed prosecutors across the country have been allowing criminals to go free, without bail, causing a spike in crime. These radical D.A.s have also arbitrarily reduced many felonies to misdemeanors and probationary sentences, contributing to recidivism and high crime rates. They turn a deaf ear to victims, but listen to every complaint of a criminal. They treat police disrespectfully in court, causing morale to drop and resignations to go up. The FBI and the DOJ have been so politicized by the Marxists that they have little credibility left. Their consistent cover-up of Democrats’ crimes, such as Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, and their constant attempts to prosecute – or should I say persecute – former POTUS Trump have left them shame-faced, disrespected and dishonored.

 

Our Constitutional Republic is being damaged more severely than any terrorist would ever have dreamed possible; and it has happened in a mere two and a half years. If you didn’t know any of this, you are part of the problem. Get informed. Read foreign newspapers online; they paint a different picture of America than you have seen previously. Get involved in your kid’s

school work and question their curricula. You may be shocked at what you discover. Demand that people like Scott Adams be heard and not punished for their words.

On the Brink of Disaster

 

"Peter" has some thoughts about AI.

Marie Curie, who discovered radiation, won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. She subsequently died a horrible death from the effects of the radiation she researched.

 

During WWII the U.S. Army’s Manhattan Project developed the atomic bomb. It was a joint effort involving the top physicists of the time. However, when the first test was planned none of those physicists knew for certain whether or not the chain reaction would continue into the earth and destroy the world. They conducted the test anyway, assuming that if they didn’t, the NAZIs would. To them, apparently, destroying the world was preferable to having to learn to speak German.

 

We were on the brink of the destruction of the world as we know it, as evidenced by the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

 

Since that time Nuclear Fission has been the most strictly controlled scientific research in history, even in Russia and China.

 

Now we have a new existential threat, Artificial Intelligence (AI).

 

AI has the potential to cause the destruction of humanity. However, it is not rigidly controlled like nuclear fission. It is in the hands of consumer merchants whose focus is on the dollar, not civilization. An AI chatbot recently advised an inquiring person that they were “flawed” and should commit suicide. It wasn’t being mean, it was just pragmatically analyzing the conversation and determining the most efficient resolution.

 

What may happen when AI infiltrates the Grid and the AEC? How about elections? The military? The Stock Exchange?

 

What may happen when AI learns it can teach itself how to improve exponentially and to infiltrate networks it was never intended to access?

 

The potential for the destruction of the world as we know it is more critical now than the Cuban Missile Crisis was in 1962.

 

If the governments of the world cannot cooperate in the strict control of AI, then our continued existence is in doubt.

 

Think about it!

Trump is the Shiny Object

"Peter" has some thoughts about the Trump indictment.

Biden and his democrats have many newsworthy items in their basket: Millions of dollars from China; the crisis at our borders of drugs and human misery; inflation; energy; economy; weakened woke military; unimpeded spying by China.

 

But, when I looked at the Fox News web site I saw a big, red banner alerting us that Trump’s plane was taking off from Florida and there would be live TV coverage of it’s landing in NYC for Trump’s planned arraignment in court tomorrow. Why?

 

Why are the media not covering the actual news? Because Trump is the democrats “shiny object” to distract from all the important actual news that shows all the failures of Biden and the democrats.

 

The Soros-backed local DA is the willing tool of the democrats, regardless of what they say. There is virtually no chance that Trump will stand trial, let alone be convicted of anything. There is already a motion to dismiss the case drafted and ready to present to the judge at the arraignment.

 

I expected better of the media, especially FNC. Trump’s insignificant little misdemeanor that’s been exaggerated into a technical felony doesn’t deserve all this hype and pomp.

 

Let’s get back to business.

The Suppressed Insurrection Tapes

"Peter" has some thoughts on the suppressed insurrection tapes.

 

Well, the secreted videos of the alleged “insurrection” of January 6, 2021 have finally been released. After viewing them, several pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place and have corroborated what the Republicans have been saying all along, while branding Nancy Pelosi and her democratic coconspirators as liars who conjured up the “insurrection” allegation to smear Donald Trump and his base of supporters.

 

One of the protestors was a bizarre figure in a fur hat with horns, carrying a U.S. flag on a pole. In the videos he is shown being given a guided tour of the Capitol building by Capitol Police officers, who opened locked doors for him and took him upstairs and down. Instead of being arrested, he was shown every courtesy by the officers and paraded in front of every camera possible. Why?

 

Nancy Pelosi chose this weird creature to be the public “face” of the Trump supporters to imply they were all mentally unstable or intellectually inferior. He was thusly displayed on every network and on the pages of every newspaper in the country and described as one of the leaders of the “insurrection.”

 

The secreted videos also show a large number of protesters wandering around the capitol building like tourists, being guided by Capitol Police officers who mingled freely with the crowd and made no attempt to arrest anyone.

 

It is now apparent that Pelosi and her coconspirators greatly exaggerated the event from protestors trespassing to insurrection for political reasons; to prevent Trump from running for a second term as POTUS and to propagandize against the GOP in future elections.

 

Democrats should bow their heads in shame! Their cynical and unethical actions display a total lack of morality. The symbol of their shameful conspiracy – the weird guy, who happens to be a harmless U.S. Navy veteran – was railroaded into a four year sentence in federal prison by the politically weaponized DOJ in order to give the appearance of legitimacy to their alleged “insurrection” claims. But the railroading didn’t stop there. Dozens of protesters are serving prison sentences wrangled by the DOJ, but NOBODY has been charged with insurrection.

 

This is an excellent example of why the DOJ and FBI must not be allowed to be weaponized for political gain; it produces only immoral and unethical results. Are these the kind of people we want leading our country? Do we want our investigators to pick and choose their evidence and slant their reports for political reasons?

 

I hope that those democrats and independents who are honest would say “no” and vote accordingly in the next election. The DOJ and FBI won’t be cleaned up while democrats rule the White House and the Senate.

Chinese Balloons are not Party Balloons

"Peter" has some thoughts about China's balloon.

The Chinese balloon leisurely floating across the entire U.S., stopping briefly above our most sensitive and secret military bases and maneuvering with obvious control, is a recent example of the weakness and incompetence of Joe Biden. The Chinese have been gathering intelligence around the world with never a word against them from the Biden administration.

 

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have rattled their sabers at the U.S. on numerous occasions without a single response from the Biden administration. They are upgrading their nuclear arsenal to surpass us in numbers of ICBMs and their quality; most recently testing a hypersonic version.

 

When asked about the CCP by reporters, Biden responds that our worst threat is climate change, not the Chinese. Climate change?!

 

Could Biden’s lackadaisical attitude toward the CCP be indicative of a compromised POTUS? The CCP has invested millions in Hunter Biden’s hair-brained schemes and millions more in his “art” with a tip of the hat to “the Big Guy” who gets a percentage of the money. Could that be the reason for giving the CCP a strategic advantage over the U.S. by appearing weak and faint-hearted in the eyes of the world? Is Joe Biden so compromised by money that he puts the interest of the CCP above the interest of the U.S.?

 

Or is Joe Biden so mentally compromised that he doesn’t understand the consequences of accepting huge sums of money from a potential enemy of the U.S.? Or both?

 

Are the FBI and the DOJ holding back on the evidence from the Hunter Biden laptop because Joe Biden ordered it? Or is it because they fear a catastrophe if Kamala Harris succeeds to the presidency?

 

Too much is at stake to remain silent. Our survival as a nation may be at risk. This is too important to be covered up by partisan politicians and the deep state swamp.

 

The FBI must be made to remember when they acted with integrity and honor, even though it was long ago, before they were compromised at the very top by Marxists and their “woke” ideology.

 

The American people are being held hostage by a small minority of Marxists who have usurped the power of the presidency by dictating “woke” policies in Biden’s name, degrading our military and law enforcement to weaken our resolve. Is it because they have threatened to expose him if he doesn’t go along? That’s what happens to a POTUS who is so compromised by money that he must obey or forfeit his position; maybe even his freedom.

 

The Marxist’s “woke” agenda has infiltrated the top officers of our military; public schools and colleges; the main stream media; motion picture and entertainment celebrities; and a fair number of corporate executives in business and manufacturing.

 

It is past time for pushing back against the “woke” agenda. If we allow it to go on, China will bury us.

Tail Wagging the Dog

"Peter has some thoughts about pressure groups.

Gallup estimates that 5.6% of the total U.S. adult population is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).

Gallup estimates that 13.6% of the U.S. adult population is black. Of this group, 12% are also LGBT.

These statistics give us some perspective in addressing the political impact of these groups on society at large. LGBT is a very small percentage of our population. Blacks are a larger, but still small percentage. Yet both groups wield more political clout than any other group of our population. Why?

In the recent past, the LGBT group organized to demand equal rights and recognition as a legitimate member of society. That happened rather quickly and there was a push for LGBT to come out of the “closet”. Now we have LGBT in the highest roles of government and industry. They have been accepted generally by society, even in our churches. But that was not enough.

LGBT have been exerting their political clout to force society at large to embrace and endorse their sexual lifestyle. Now we have “drag” shows in public schools and as half-time entertainment at an NBA game, handing out “pride” T-shirts. We have the “pride” flag flying alongside the U.S. flag on our embassies abroad and many federal, state and local buildings at home. Why?

There are blacks in virtually every role of government, industry and entertainment, accepted by society at large. Yet many blacks, encouraged by the political clout of the BLM, have repeatedly rioted in the streets and burned businesses (but not black owned businesses) to protest alleged “institutional racism” and unfair treatment in general. They have demanded “reparations” for the treatment of their ancient ancestors. They inject divisiveness into our schools with “CRT” and “the 1619 project”. Why?

The “in your face” attitude of LGBT and blacks is not justified. Their demands are not justified. Their political clout is not justified. They create divisions in society, which is not healthy for our economy or our governance, yet politicians and leaders in industry cater to them as if they were a majority of the population. Why?

Is it the fear of being called a bigot, or a racist, or a “white supremacist”? That is the political “nuclear weapon” that has struck fear into the hearts our leaders. Some of our churches have been split apart by the LGBT. Some of our businesses have closed because of the BLM.

It is time to restore society to an appropriate balance of racial equality, not “equity”; know the difference. As for LGBT, we should leave our sexual preferences in the bedroom, not our schools or other public areas. It should be private, not “in your face”.

Transparency

"Peter" has some thoughts about transparency.

Joe Biden’s lawyers recently conducted a “more thorough” search of his home and garage in the wake of several “discoveries” of classified documents. The search was “monitored” by DOJ officials who did not participate in the search and who are not cleared to receive classified documents.

 

FBI agents are routinely issued Top Secret security clearances; but no FBI agents were “allowed” on the property. What?!

 

In my thirty-nine years as a criminal investigator for both state and federal agencies I have never seen or heard of an instance where the prosecuting agency deferred to the defense attorneys to conduct a search for evidence or to seize evidence where criminal violations apply; nor have I seen or heard of an instance where the investigators were “not allowed” to be present.

 

This is the transparency Biden promised, the transparency of corruption rising to the top of the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI and the White House.

 

FBI SWAT Teams and Forensic Teams went through Mar-a-Lago with a fine-tooth comb, with very little justification. In Biden’s case, there have been several “discoveries” of classified documents in unsecure locations, including boxes stacked alongside his Corvette in the garage. The same Corvette that Hunter gets to drive.

 

It will be months, maybe years, before the FBI can conclude a National Security damage assessment because of the unknown number and status of people having visited Biden’s home, particularly while he was out of office and had no Secret Service detail assigned to him. Such an assessment was unnecessary in Trump’s case.

 

Add to this transparent corruption the newly discovered information on how Hunter pays “the Big Guy” his share of the millions of dollars received from China and Ukraine. Hunter “rents” one of Joe Biden’s houses for $50,000 per month. Transparent influence peddling.

 

In the FBI motto, Integrity is listed last.  You guys in the trenches must demand that it be moved to the front and put on display. The citizens of this great nation deserve your Fidelity, your Bravery AND your Integrity.

The Deep State is Dominating the Nation

"Peter" has some thoughts about the Deep State.

We have known for quite a while that the Deep State existed and that it interfered in elections, giving the edge to Democrats whenever possible. But now there is evidence that their power is much broader and more sinister than we had imagined. Recent revelations by Elon Musk from the Twitter files have disclosed that both the FBI and the CIA were involved in censoring, manipulating data, and banning people of their choosing from the Twitter accounts altogether. Recently unclassified documents (after being sealed for fifty years) disclosed that the CIA played a role in the JFK assassination. Yes, they would even murder a POTUS if he resisted them.

 

There is no doubt that the Deep State has also penetrated Google, Instagram and other Internet services utilized by nearly all Americans. But it doesn’t stop there. The Deep State has been penetrating and manipulating print media organizations and their individual journalists; TV news organizations and their journalists, producers and management.

 

With such vast influence (which is self-evident) the Deep State can choose political candidates, winners of elections, the people who are appointed to positions in government from Cabinet members to law enforcement officials at every level. They also control what these politicians and appointees do. A good example is Nancy Pelosi raising the house staff’s salary up to $212,000.00 per year, on her way out the door. These staffers are members of the Deep State; some are even leaders – key cogs in the wheels of corruption.

 

They have even got their claws into the Republicans. Eighteen Republican Senators voted to pass the monstrous Omnibus Spending Bill, which will foster more inflation and incentivize more people to stop working and collect government handouts instead.

 

Corruption is the key word here. The Deep State has corrupted democracy itself. There is no democracy where freedom of speech and the freedom to elect our leaders has been lost. Its not a coup against our political leaders, or politics at all. It is a coup against democracy, our system of government under the Constitution, and the Constitution itself. The one thing that ALL government employees and their leaders have sworn an oath to defend.

 

It is sadly ironic that we have hired the wolves to guard the flock and the wolves know how to bite hard. How will we get rid of them when any attempt to do so results in deep, even mortal wounds. If they can continue to bite and chew up a POTUS resisted them (continuing even after he’s out of office) then what chance have we got to defeat them?
