Why so Many Miscreants Revile Trump...

.
.

THIS is exactly the kind of sentiment the anti-nationalist/anti-American scum presently rioting in our streets revile. There aren't "2 Americas," there are productive Americans...and a vile enemy within. Police Officers, Corrections & Court Officers put their lives on the line every time they go to work and they've never been under such a sustained attack as they are today.

There are some bad apples, but there are mechanisms in place (police review boards, etc.) to deal with them. For some strange reason, we are far more lenient with lifelong misfits and miscreants.

The TWO Sides of the COIN

.
.

We've taken a lot of initially compassionate ideas to absurd and very harmful levels.

Our "Anti-Poverty" bureaucracy has incentivized helplessness (a lack of marketable skills) among the dependent poor and our government now employs an army of bureaucrats paid to undermine various industries (ie. coal, natural gas, manufacturing, etc.) around the country. These people are paid to, in effect, hurt their neighbors...even though those people may live in far away states, they're STILL neighbors and fellow Americans.

Just as Hillary said, "We're going to put a LOT of coal miners (and coal companies) out of work," (she meant the miners, as you don't put the companies "out of work"), in this election many of us voted INSTEAD to put a LOT of bureaucrats out of work. That's generally doing no harm, because government doesn't produce things, nor create real jobs...government jobs including cops, firefighters, Corrections, public school teaching, even Congressional staff...are net COSTS. While many of those jobs are necessary and MUST BE done, they are all paid for with tax revenues and should be done as fiscally responsibly as possible.

Reducing regulation and allowing businesses to expand would create more REAL jobs and make it easier to fund those necessary government positions.

Former Navy Seal Eric Greitens Takes Reins as MO. Governor

Eric Greitens (Governor-Elect of MO)

Coming back from an alleged double digit deficit (you can never tell with our current media), Eric Greitens' Gubernatorial campaign seemed to mimick Trump's comeback.

The Navy Seal and accomplished author, Eric Greitens is a political neophyte, much like Donald Trump himself.

Also, like Trump, Greitens seems to value jobs (the economy) over most other issues. That probably bodes very well for Missouri's beleaguered working class.

Congratulations to Governor-Elect Eric Greitens.

Could Trump Govern?

This is an odd question considering that a majority of Americans prefer divided government.

How else can that be taken except as Americans wanting government to do LESS governing?

In Trump we’d get the ultimate in divided government, with BOTH the Democrats AND the GOPe aligned against him.

YES, Trump could easily undo the Obama Executive Orders with the stoke of a pen. He could probably even do a good deal to eradicate local monopolies for health insurers, ending the decades long practice of setting up competition-free zone for major health providers.

Changing our horrific tax system, used to reward “friends”/donors and punish political “enemies,” would be a much bigger deal, given that BOTH major Parties benefit from that corrupt system and severely limiting, let alone eliminating In-Sourcing cheap labor via H-1B Visas and ILLEGAL immigration would be even harder, given the hold this global corporate elite has over our fully OWNED political-media class.

STILL, given how out-of-touch BOTH major Parties are with the voters, Trump could be a “breath of fresh air, IF only he’d continue being the veritable “pox on both their houses.”

But Trump is an unlikely and very flawed champion of the working class and probably normally WOULDN’T be able to be taken seriously as that EXCEPT for the abusive way our political-media class has treated America’s working people.

The GOPe is chomping at the bit to “make a deal” with the Democrats over ILLEGAL immigration; the GOP allowing for the “Path to Citizenship” (Amnesty) in exchange for barring them, while non-citizens, from getting social services and voting...that would keep them from providing that cheap labor source that many business owners here covet.

Spoiler alert: The Dems DON’T want “the illegals” voting any time soon either. They know that most of the new immigrants are Catholics, who become reliably (socially) Conservative voters once established here.

BOTH major Parties have brought this upon themselves. They DESERVE Trump! They’ve EARNED true gridlock that would come from an anti-globalist who’d revel in throwing a monkey wrench into their globalist master’s plans.

Is Trump a potential savior?

Hardly likely.

His primary, if only appeal is that he’s “NOT one of them (the political-media class).” Right now, that might be enough. The GOPe desperately wants “their Party back.”

If Trump gets in, that doesn’t happen, at least not very easily.

And the DNC machine that lied to and screwed over Bernie Sanders voters will take a big hit as well. Not that Bernie didn’t show his true colors (lack of principle) in begging his supporters to close ranks around someone they distrust, someone they know is beholden to the global conglomerates, the Monsanto’s, the GE’s, etc.

THIS is indeed a unique election. Unfortunately, it’s also been a year-long Reality TV show, that’s made it seem more of a farce than political reality. BUT it is truly an election that actually fulfills the empty promise that Barack Obama made back in 2008 for real CHANGE!

For ANYONE opposed to the control of the global corporate “elite,” Trump, with ALL his faults, offers the only real hope of that. At worst, he’s a thumb in the eye of that global corporate “elite” and their paid employees in BOTH Parties and our national media.

Can Trump Win?

This is being written the night before the Election of 2016, but I’ve been mulling this over this past week.

Can Donald J. Trump actually win this election?

This is an unprecedented and historic election precisely because it seems to have delivered exactly what America’s electorate deserves; a “Reality TV Election!”

That’s what we’ve had, a year-long Reality TV election with the most outrageous candidates from BOTH major Parties winding up in this “steel cage death match” that will mercifully end tomorrow...or maybe within the following week...or month...or?

Donald Trump has taken on the mantle of the prototypical “In-Your-Face New Yorker.” He’s a billionaire businessman and real estate developer who talks like and connects with Blue Collar Americans.

As a result, he’s alienated both “cheap-labor” (Pro-In-Sourcing) Republicans and “cheap vote” (Pro-ILLEGAL-Immigration) Democrats...and rightly so. BOTH of those groups are and have long been solidly anti-American.

The Clintons are not merely “dishonest political opportunists who’d sell out their own families for a buck,” they embody virtually everything wrong with our existing pro-globalist, anti-American political-media class.

Meanwhile Donald Trump seems an absurd choice to represent the “America 1^st, anti-globalist” American working class. He’s also let his mouth and his late-night tweeting take him off message. By mid-September, Trump’s chances seemed very dim, at best.

However, as America’s globalist (fully owned, bought and paid for by global conglomerates) media openly campaigned for Hillary, with CNN’s Jake Tapper sitting on the Board of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), while CNBC’s chief Washington correspondent John Harwood collaborated with the Clinton team on what to ask GOPe candidate Jeb Bush. WikiLeaks released emails from John Podesta that showed Harwood asking the Clinton campaign to help him brainstorm interview questions to ask Jeb Bush.

On Sunday morning, a newly-released email from Wikileaks, dated September 21, 2015, showed Harwood consulting Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta on questions to ask former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. “What should I ask Jeb in Speakeasy interview tomorrow?”

John Harwood insists he “did nothing wrong.” (http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2016/11/06/wikileaks-cnbcs-john-harwood-asked-podesta-interview-jeb-bush/)

That’s an outright LIE!

That collusion is very WRONG.

What he most likely meant is that he didn’t do anything that hasn’t been routine for a very long time, which only shows how nefarious and underhanded our Corporate media really is.

It’s hard to put much faith in the many media-manipulated polls, changing day-to-day depending on the sampling they use, more Democrats here, more independents and unaffiliateds there, etc.

BUT now, on the eve of the Election, Nate Silver who predicted a perfect 51/51 (all 50 States + the District of Columbia) in 2008 and 50/51 in 2012, now says that Hillary Clinton is “Just one state away from losing the election.” Of course, this is the SAME Nate Silver who claimed that Trump had absolutely no shot at winning the GOP Primaries back in January of 2016.

Silver says, “We show a three-point lead nationally for Clinton, 2-1 favorite. The electoral college map is less solid for Clinton than it was for Obama four years ago, where four years ago we had Obama ahead in states totaling 320 some electoral votes. Clinton has 270 so one state away from potentially losing the Electoral College...” (http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/11/06/nate-silver-clinton-one-state-away-losing-electoral-college/)

The problem with this year’s polling is that there seems to be a hidden Trump vote, with many Trump supporters reluctant to divulge their choice and subject themselves to media’s ridicule.

Is that phenomenon real?

If it is, will it be enough?

The “Only poll that counts” starts tomorrow morning.

We’ll know soon enough.

Mis-Education...And Its Pernicious Effects

Recently I came across a response to a post about the origins of human life that went, "Actually most life on earth has two eyes, arms, legs etc.," (Joy S) - which, of course, is NOT true. Insects outnumber all other forms of life on earth and many insects have far more than 4 limbs. Sea life also outnumbers land-based life forms on earth and most aquatic life have two fins (limbs). Many deep-sea life forms have no eyes, many insects have a single eye. Even most four-limbed land-based life forms with four legs/limbs, lack arms. Horses, dogs, cats, pigs, etc. have 4 legs. ONLY primates (a very small percentage of the life forms on earth) have 2 eyes, 2 arms and 2 legs.

A big part of the problem today is that we've all been mis-educated. I was very mis-educated and because the apparently "well-meaning" Nuns were so obvious about it, that helped me view everything a lot more skeptically and because of that, I've gotten a much better education reading on my own AFTER College than I ever did in ANY "educational institution."

For that reason, I don't blame people for believing things that aren't true. After all, we've all been taught a lot of things that aren't true. Climate change has been constant and ongoing throughout the earth's entire existence. Reid Bryson (known as "The Father of Climatology") and many other scientists are probably right that "Man's contribution to climate change is probably so small as to be insignificant." That doesn't mean that human industrialization is without impact, but that the impact is probably smaller than that of nature, itself AND that the primary problem with human advancement (industrialization, GMO's, etc.) is most likely on our health.

The problem is that science has been used, or, in many cases, "bought and paid for," in order to advance specific agendas. "Climate Change," or "Anthropogenic Global Warming," has often been used to lobby for restricting the energy supply (specifically of oil and gas) in many instances to create artificial shortages and thus HUGE profits for energy companies.

Real science is agnostic ("I DON'T know")...about everything - always open to new information and new ideas. Dogma is faith-based (it makes PRONOUNCEMENTS) and today, we've replaced a lot of science with dogma and true scientists are often hounded and abused by professional dogmatists depending upon government grants.

A BIG part of this seems to be our current "Age of Ego," in which humility is seen as not believing in yourself and pompous, bluster often wins the day., or at least the government grant.

Same with the "Out-of-Africa" theory on human development. The truth is, like in virtually everything, we just don't know. It is an educated guess, or hypothesis. In fact, if homo sapiens first appeared in Africa, why did the first known human civilizations appear in another continent (Asia) between the Tigris and Euphrates river valley? Did the “smarter,” more curious homo sapiens leave the less evolved humans behind? There’s a lot that’s troubling about that theory.

Moreover, did other hominids (Neanderthals, and others) develop elsewhere, independently? If not, why weren't they "out-competed" in Africa and eradicated there? In fact, Neanderthals were the first tool-makers. In the northern environs, their interaction with humans probably aided human development.

Again, the problem with the “out-of-Africa” theory is that it’s being pushed by so-called “global elites” to fit their own selfish agenda, which seems to be to eradicate our “old, outdated human heritages and cultures to make way for a “new world” that makes global trade and human cooperation and ultimately global union, much more possible.” That is BOTH self-centered, because the primary beneficiaries are these same self-proclaimed “global elites,” AND bigoted, since it essentially seeks to remake the world over in the Anglo-Saxon mold, under the ridiculous notion that, “Everyone on earth is capable of being a ‘good Anglo-Saxon’ and should be brought into that fold.”

Well, that notion is wrong. NOT only are the races distinctly different (not necessarily “better” or “worse” but different), so are individual members within each group. ALL humans CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be “good, or proper Anglo-Saxons.”

This forced (mostly via mis-education) mass conformity is hideous and misanthropic to its core. It's most extreme form is seen in "Marxism" (alternately called "Communism" or "Socialism").

That’s why those who’ve known (lived under) Communism/socialism revile it and feel much the way the fictional character Tony Montana of “Scarface” did, “I kill communists for fun...” Marxism is predicated on the inane view that we are all equal and therefor equally valuable, when in fact, we DON’T value intrinsic human worth, but the skill-sets various humans possess. An orthopedic surgeon’s skills, for instance, are much more rare and hard to master than a janitor’s, and so there is always (given the rarity of high skilled humans) a glut of janitors and a shortage of orthopedic surgeons. That bit of supply and demand is why some skills are valued more highly and paid more than others.

In that regard, Marxism (socialism/communism) is de-evolutionary (it hinders human advancement by de-incentivizing innovation and advancement) and misanthropic (rooted in a deep and abiding hatred of humanity). It is, in essence, an expression of rage by “the rabble,” or “loser-class”. Out of a thousand people, there are probably no more than a half dozen (if that) who possess both the creativity and high skill level necessary for innovation. Actually, there are probably more, but few of those with the requisite skills and creativity have that nurtured...at any rate, the result is the same. The rest of the group moves through varying layers of productivity from very high-achievers and producers, to the unproductive. In many ways the “genetic lottery” is grossly unfair, but it is unfair in every way (looks, sociability, artistic expression, etc.), so why wouldn’t it be unfair in this case, as well?

So, while the great innovator and the high-earning artist may not have more intrinsic value as humans (all life being sacred/valuable and all that), their skills are NOT valued the same as those of the less productive. Marxism, rages against this very basic fact of life. The varying skill levels and resultant disparity in wealth among humans is as ineluctable as is gravity. Karl Marx gave voice to the rage of the unskilled, untalented and unproductive and humanity has suffered greatly for it ever since.

The thing that makes Marxism more vile than most other misinformation is that it is embraced by the non-productive because it fits their own selfish agenda; exalting the lower-skilled humans as “victims,” somehow worthy of compensation from those who are somehow more talented, diligent and productive. It is, in its most basic form, a rationalization for enslaving the most talented and productive for the benefit of the many, less talented and unproductive. While the selfishness of the “elite” may be misguided, the selfishness of the non-productive is obscene and it would inevitably lead to a return to mankind’s stone age!

At any rate, that’s why we shouldn’t revile people who seem to believe things that aren’t so, we should acknowledge that they’ve been mis-educated. The poster I mentioned above, was merely “grasping at straws” by which to defend the accepted dogma, in this case, the “out-of-Africa” view. The fault is NOT primarily that poster’s, but that of an “education system” that deliberately mis-educates all of us for the benefit of a nebulous few.
