Miss this guy yet? This writing exercise is a quasi-serious attempt to create a platform from which this country would be governed, should I get elected by some small miracle.The beauty of Donald Trump is that he showed literally anybody is able to run for President of the United States, or POTUS. Personally, I would be happy if Trump ran and won again in 2024, but there is a lot of time between now and then, the forces marshaled against Trump still remain in positions of power, and Democrats are frantically trying to change voting rules so they would never lose another election. If elected, of course I would humbly serve, at least one full term or until someone managed to assassinate me, whichever comes first. My campaign will be fully independent. I will not join either political party at this point in my life just on general principle, although I will concede I have far more disdain for the liberal-controlled Democratic Party than Republicans in principle. However, there is clearly a "Deep State" uni-party where Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell play off each other like Abbott and Costello or Laurel and Hardy, except neither politician is really the straight man. I've got quite a few things on my chest related to politics but I've decided not put them out one at a time so I blog about something on a daily basis for a while as part of this experiment. I'll give more details on my overall political philosophy in time, but for now I just want to communicate one simple idea with which I believe almost every American who isn't a politician would agree: PLATFORM … [Read more...]
Every day reaches a new low
Social media becomes more problematic for me to use by the day. Liberals can say whatever the hell they want with absolutely no fear of censorship. Conservatives can't tell the truth without Facebook or Twitter slapping some half-assed "fact checking" claim that is usually a pathetic joke of biased interpretation passed off as truth by a lazy press corps. Politics cannot be avoided, but only half the conversation is being allowed. I've always used Facebook and liked the interface until I began to realize how intrusive their data mining has become. For example, somehow Mark Zuckerberg found out that I took a business trip to Ireland in 1998. Facebook wasn't launched until six years later, so I could not have posted photos of my trip or published my travel itinerary, not that I would be stupid enough to advertise to burglars when I'm not around to protect my home. I am 99.9999+ percent certain that I have never mentioned that little tidbit of information on Facebook. So, the question is, how did Facebook find out about my trip and mention it as one of the fun facts about me that others can learn without my intentional consent. Ah, but there's the rub, isn't it? To what have I consented, when I clicked "Agree" to their book-length terms of service agreement? I understood that the social media application was going to use information learned about me from my use of Facebook and the internet itself to help advertisers market products to me while I'm using their product. Again, information about my travel to Ireland can't even be on my own computer, because my laptop … [Read more...]
Governor Brian Kemp MUST immediately call for a special session of the Georgia Legislature
The name of Lin Wood ought to jar your memory...he's the attorney suing ABC, CBS, The New York Times, and Rolling Stone magazine on behalf of Nick Sandmann, for defamation after the media portrayed the teenager as aggressive and threatening toward a Native American, until video evidence indisputably proved otherwise. Wood has already successfully negotiated settlements of multimillion dollar defamation lawsuits brought against CNN and The Washington Post, who wisely decided to minimize their potential financial loss rather than take their chances in court. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2OHdRUM9Gc&feature=emb_logo In this explosive interview on the John Fredericks show, Lin Wood boldly alleged that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger are both corrupt and called for a special session of the Georgia state legislature before any votes are certified from the November election, citing the fact that Raffensperger lacked the authority to unilaterally make changes to how absentee and mail-in votes would be handled in the 2020 presidential election; that power exclusively belongs to the Georgia legislature. State Senator Brandon Beach has also demanded that Governor Kemp call the special session. The excuse given for Raffensperger illegally usurping the legislature in violation of the Constitution has been COVID-19, naturally. Why doesn't that constitute "Chinese interference" in the 2020 elections? All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to stand by and do nothing. Edmund Burke, or somebody else just as … [Read more...]
Is Self-Defense Still Legal for White People?
According to eyewitness accounts, Trayvon Martin had knocked George Zimmerman to the ground and was beating him “MMA style” when Zimmerman pulled his legally owned gun and fatally shot Martin. The “Black Lives Matter” movement then used Martin’s death as their excuse to launch a well-planned and orchestrated campaign to promote socialism. If innocent black lives truly mattered to the BLM movement, when protestors chant “Say her name!” the crowd would be pleased and satisfied to hear Secoriea Turner’s name mentioned along with Breonna Taylor’s, but sadly that just isn’t true. It was George Zimmerman who became the first human in recorded history to be identified by the media as a white Hispanic man. Zimmerman was tried for murder in spite of the evidence that he’d acted in self-defense, and as filmmaker (and American Thinker contributor) Joel Gilbert revealed in his documentary The Trayvon Hoax, the prosecution even put a fraudulent witness on the stand to testify against him, but Zimmerman was acquitted by a jury of his peers following the applicable Florida law. BLM was not interested in “justice” for Trayvon Martin; they wanted vengeance. When rumor spread in Atlanta that George Zimmerman had been arrested for DUI and was currently in the Fulton County Jail, BLM protestors tried to find out Zimmerman’s location so another prisoner might kill him. Can you say, “lynch mob?” Yes, I thought you could.The unfortunate death of Trayvon Martin was only the beginning. Next we had Ferguson, with the narrative that Officer Darren Wilson murdered innocent Michael Brown, … [Read more...]
Do All Black Lives Matter?
Do all black lives matter, according to the protestors? Or only some? Do white lives ever matter? Asking for a friend…which happens to be me. My life matters to me. Call me selfish if you want, but it's true. Nobody wants to be a victim. Though I've accepted the idea that I'm going to die one day, all things being equal, I'd rather not die today. Several decades from now, preferably in my sleep, would be my preference, but we don't always get to choose when and how we die. I think it's safe to say nobody would choose to die lying on a street with someone's knee on their neck. With the possible exception of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and his three fellow officers on the scene, it would appear safe to say we can all agree that George Floyd’s life mattered. His life ended much too quickly and violently for an overwhelming majority of Americans. Most of us have seen the video; we’ve felt helpless outrage from seeing the life of a human being so perniciously ended by law enforcement for no justifiable reason. It was awful. Outrageous. Way beyond the pale. It's like Selma all over again, if you believe the movies (I'm not old enough to remember the news coverage of Selma.) It's like looking at a picture of Emmett Till's mutilated body and realizing that's the butchered corpse of a child. If you could watch a video of George Floyd's "arrest" and think what was happening was perfectly all right, I'm going to offend you by saying there is something really wrong with you. While it may be debatable whether or not the suspicion of … [Read more...]
