MAINSTREAM MEDIA COVERS FOR THE FAR-LEFT DSA

moderate Democrat President John F. Kennedy

My book, “Proud to be American”, is on sale, on-line, for $17.95 from Amazon and also can be ordered from any bookstore. It contains 70 articles in nine categories and has 70 pictures. The book analyzes national, international and domestic problems and also critiques main- stream media and the far-left of the Democrat Party. It also has a provocative introduction and conclusion.

Without the Main Stream Media (MSM) the Democrat Party would be doing much better than it is as well as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). How? Why? That’s what this post is all about.

For whatever reason, the Mainstream Media protects the far left of the Democrat Party. It does this by 1)not reporting on those unpopular things that Democrat politicians may say or do, by 2)misreporting a story or facts to cover for a Democrat politician or to demonize a Republican politician, and by 3)creating false stories

If MSM did the job it is supposed to do, it would force our politicians to be much more honest than they are because the media would expose them.  For example, President Trump and the Republican Party are much stronger today because of the constant criticism from the media.  The Democrat Party and its DSA does not receive serious criticism from the media and is consequently much weaker.  Now, of course, the Party is paying the price as the truth about past cover-ups by the media become clear…one of the biggest is the fake Trump-Russia collusion as documented in the previously-classified annex to the Durham Report.

Democrats cannot win national elections with their far-left policies because those policies are unpopular with most Americans, including most Democrats. I’m talking about “men in women’s sports.” sex-change surgeries on children,” “open borders,” etc.  If the Media simply did its job well, Democrat politicians would know how bad their far-left policies are and would hopefully rethink their political positions on those issues.

So what should the Democrat Party do now? Find a moderate Democrat leader, such as the governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, former Chicago mayor, Rahm Emanuel, or Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro.. moderate Democrat politicians who can win elections.  The Party can’t win with the crazies at the helm in their Party, with the possible exception of New York City. If the media really wants their Democrat allies to win, they need to start being honest in their reporting.

DEFEAT THE RADICAL FAR-LEFT POLITICALLY

Posted on by

NY City Tammany Hall leader “Boss” Tweed, 1860’s-70’s

My book, “Proud to be American”, is on sale at Amazon and also can be ordered at any bookstore for $16.95.  It includes 68 articles organized to nine categories and with 70 pictures. The book analyzes national, international, and domestic problems.  It also critiques Propaganda Media and the Far-Left of the Democrat Party.    #          #            #           #

Although I’m slightly more conservative than liberal, I try to be even-handed in my writing. However, the Left has become so radical, and even criminal at times, I think that one article that is not even-handed is in order and appropriate. The following is a brief summary of what I believe has and is happening to adversely affect U.S. politics:

1. Former President Biden used to be a moderate Democrat for most of his political career, but he governed as a far-left radical after becoming President of the United States.  His policies were difficult to understand and appeared to be all geared to hurting Americans and the U.S.  Examples of this include his dismantling of the myriad of immigration and border policies that kept the number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. very low; putting America in huge debt and causing massive inflation by wasting trillions of dollars in allegedly helping Americans get over the pandemic; dividing America along racial lines by supporting and funding Critical Race Theory; weakening our military by not providing it with enough funds to even keep up with inflation; by removing economic sanctions from our adversaries such as Iran, China, and Russia.

2. Mainstream (“Propaganda”) Media has become so dishonest that absolutely nothing it says about President Trump can be believed.  It is also guilty of “bias by omission” since it reports next to nothing that makes President Trump look good.

3. Democrat Party leaders refuse to debate issues but instead make “ad hominem” (personal) attacks against President Trump and Republicans. The reason for this is that their policies are absurd to the extent that they cannot be successfully defended from arguments against them.

4. Far-left Democrats should commend former Presidents Biden and Obama (I’m being facetious here) because they did their bidding by trying their very best to drastically weaken our military, economic system, and Healthcare in order to further their Socialist agenda and that of the Democrat Party (by furthering policies that would create a large permanent poverty class dependent on the government for basic subsidence).  His political party allowed large numbers of illegal aliens into the U.S. since most will eventually vote Democrat, and Obama doubled the National debt (from $10 trillion to $20 trillion), coming close to bankrupting the country (and President Bide attempted to finish the job with massive deficit spending.

5. The Democrat Party, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden destroyed healthcare insurance for millions of Americans; only those receiving free medical insurance do well under Obamacare.

6. The far-left shouts down conservative speakers on college campuses, as well as destroys property in its demonstrations, thus demonstrating it does not believe in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution on freedom of speech and it also cannot debate anyone that disagrees with them.

7.  Many Democrat leaders, such as Democrat Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, and the House of Representatives  Democrat “Squad,” have advocated violence while the Main-Stream Media falsely accuse President Trump of instigating violence (I taped Trump’s January 6 speech…to “peacefully and patriotically make you voices heard”).

8. Some Republican leaders are timid and cannot competently argue conservative policy positions though those positions are far better than liberal positions.  Were it not for Fox News and Newsmax cable TV stations, talk radio, President Trump, Governor DeSantis, Ted Cruz, Tim Scott, Rand Paul, Jim Jorden, James Comer, etc., the Republican Party would be in bad shape.  In other words, as ridiculous as most liberal positions are, the timidity of some Republican leaders really hurts the adoption of conservative policy positions.

9. I believe that the far-left wing of the Democrat Party is shaping and mentally preparing its followers to hate Republicans and take over the Federal government.  We need to expose this criminality whenever we find evidence that it is happening’

11, 12, 13, etc.

In conclusion, if and when the Democrat Party loyalists ever see what has happened to their Party and punish it by not supporting it (voting for it and contributing to it) until it changes, the Party should then clean itself up and consequently become more competitive and win many more elections.  Let’s pray that everything remains peaceful as we go through the consequent political turmoil and do whatever we can to defeat the far-left politically.

WAS CHARLIE KIRK AND PRESIDENT TRUMP SET UP FOR ASSASSINATION?

Posted on by

Charlie Kirk

My book, “Proud to be American,” is on sale at Amazon and also can be ordered at most bookstores for $16.95. It’s a 300-page paperback book with 68 articles in nine categories and with 70 pictures. The book analyzes national, international, and domestic problems and also critiques the far-left of the Democrat Party and Main Stream Media.  #     #      #       # 

“Trump is a dictator and a fascist!  Charlie Kirk was a Nazi and hateful!  Trump ordered the military to invade and occupy Washington, and is threatening to invade Chicago, Boston, etc.”

Why all of the hype and crazy-talk?  Is it simply to persuade the simple-minded, uninformed, or misinformed to vote for anyone except President Trump’s political party?  Is that all there is to it?

Attacks on ICE agents have gone up 1,000 percent because of all of the deliberate mischaracterization of what ICE is doing.  President Trump has had two attempts on his life because of his demonization by the Democrat Party and Propaganda Media. We know now what the crazy-talk leads to so why isn’t it being toned down?

I contend that it appears to be deliberately done to get President Trump killed, but not because he’s a dictator (he’s not) but because he’s very effectively assisting the Democrat Party in destroying itself…and Charlie Kirk assassinated because he was very effective in combatting all of the nonsense indoctrination spued by far-left professors at most universities as well as leaders of the Democrat Party, and then endlessly repeated by Propaganda Media (CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC).  I believe that Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was probably radicalized to the Far Left during his brief stay at Utah State University as well as by social media on-line. We will find out.

I spot-checked Charlie Kirk’s campus rallies to see for myself if he was hateful, and found that he was a moral, ethical, and loving father and husband who loved America, all Americans and the Lord, but that the Far Left felt compelled to silence him for peacefully and Socratically asking people questions about their beliefs.

As Erika Kirk said in her September 12 tribute to her husband, “Turning Point USA will become bigger than ever”.  Meanwhile, twenty-two-year-old Tyler Robinson will probably either spend the rest of his life in prison or be put to death by lethal injection.

To answer my question on whether Trump and Kirk were set up for assassination, it really doesn’t matter whether it was deliberate or not, the demonizing rhetoric by the Political Far Left and Propaganda Media is largely responsible for Kirk’s murder and Trump coming very close to being murdered.

May you rest in peace, Charlie Kirk, and may you be safe, President Trump.

HOW DEMOCRAT POLICIES HURT IMMIGRANTS, MINORITIES, AND THE POOR

Posted on by

For additional information…

My book, “Proud to be American”, can be ordered from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and any bookstore in the United States for $16.95.  It’s a 300-page softcover book with 68 articles in nine categories and 70 pictures. The book analyzes important national, domestic and international issues and critiques Main Stream media and the far-left of the Democrat Party.

For the past 75 years the Democrat Party has promoted itself as helping the poor, African-Americans, women, and the “little guy.”  Today’s modern Democrat Party says that it is the self-avowed champion of illegal immigrants.  I contend that it has never been true, and is actually hurting illegal immigrants, the poor, women, and African-Americans and is no friend to these groups.  This is how it is doing this:

  1. Because illegal immigrants will work for lower wages, they push down the wages that employers pay to their other workers, many of whom are legal immigrants, unskilled workers and the poor.
  2. Democrat propaganda says that African-Americans are continually discriminated against so many believe that they are victims and buy into the victimhood mentality and adopt defeatist attitudes and therefore don’t even attempt to excel and achieve the “American dream” because they have been brainwashed to believe it’s useless.
  3. Many female migrants that traveled north to cross the U.S.’ southern border were  sexually assaulted along their journey, so encouraging illegal immigration hurts many women (and Joe Biden and the Democrat Party encouraged illegal immigration).
  4. Mexican cartels used illegal immigrants crossing he U.S. border to lure Border Patrol agents to other parts of the border so that they could smuggle illegal drugs, and illegal “got-aways”  that are criminals in their own countries, into the U.S. much easier, so open borders is very harmful to Americans. Democrat policy is to support open border which enables the cartels.
  5. Human trafficking was rampant through the southern border and was made possible by the cartels who charged large fees to the immigrants or had them work for them in the illegal drug trade or prostitution.  Democrat policy is to support open borders which enables human trafficking.
  6. When its advocacy of a $15/hour minimum wage is made mandatory, like in Seattle, many “starter” and “beginning-wage” jobs were eliminated, thus removing the first step of career ladders that unskilled workers need to join the workforce.
  7. The Democrat policy to outlaw guns denies law-abiding women, poor, and minorities the capability to defend themselves from criminals with guns, which is especially important to them because crime is usually high in their neighborhoods.
  8. Democrat advocacy and funding of Planned Parenthood, whose clinics are mostly located in Black neighborhoods, support abortions in line with the Eugenics movement promulgated by its founder, Margaret Sanger.
  9. The Democrat Party encourages and advocates dependency on government as one of its major methods of recruiting and retaining its voter base.
  10. The Democrat Party believes that “the ends justify the means” and its Democrat Presidents consequently have done many illegal acts such as using the IRS, Justice Department and the FBI to combat its enemies (see Mark Levin’s 2021 book, American Marxism; Stephen Moore’s 2022 book, Govzilla).  This often results in their political enemies being impoverished (which was their intention), like general Michael Flynn.
  11. Democrat leadership in all cities where they govern have inner cities, mostly of minorities, that are crime-ridden, dilapidated, and impoverished.  This is a direct result of Democrat policies of Open Borders, Sanctuary Cities, easy-on-crime, banning guns, no-cash bail, high taxes, not supporting local police, rent control, etc., etc., etc..

CONCLUSION

The Democrat Party has targeted minorities, illegal immigrants, women, and the poor to vote for them but Democrat policies have actually significantly hurt them.  Once these targeted groups realize this, there should be a backlash. The mainstream media, a Democrat support group, however, keeps this lie alive.

BAN PARTIAL-BIRTH AND THIRD-TRIMESTER ABORTIONS

Posted on by

For further reading…

My book, “Proud to be American,” is on sale at Amazon and Barnes and Noble for $16.95.  It’s a 300-page softcover book containing 68 articles in nine categories and 70 photos. It analyzes National, International and domestic issues that Main Stream Media does not and cannot do and is critical of it and the far-left of the Democrat Party.

Wherever you stand on the abortion issue, partial-birth abortion is probably abhorrent to you, because after 6 months in the womb, there is no question that a fetus looks like and is a baby.  A baby not yet born does not have the protection of the law, however, this is only a technicality…it’s a baby!  If you don’t think so, look at a Sonogram of a baby in the womb and watch the little one move around with his/her heart beating, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy!

My knowledge concerning partial-birth abortion began with Robert Bork’s book, Slouching Towards Gomorrah.  One of the chapters in Bork’s book discusses partial-birth abortion and included a gruesome description of the procedure.  This sounds like a straightforward issue so why the controversy and the politicization and why is it still legal in many States to abort a baby during the third trimester of pregnancy, especially since there are many couples waiting to adopt infants?  At the very least, partial-birth abortion is infanticide.

Over 61 million babies were aborted in the U.S. since Roe vs. Wade was decided by the Supreme Court in 1973; over 1.5 billion babies were aborted worldwide since 1980…some of these were partial-birth abortions.  When Judge Bret Kavanaugh was confirmed by the Senate to sit on the Supreme Court, taking Justice Anthony Kennedy’s seat, the political left attempted to make the case that Justice Kavanaugh would try to overturn the Supreme Court’s abortion decision of 1973, Roe vs. Wade, although Kavanaugh referred to that decision as “settled law.”  However, once the Court became comfortably conservative, Roe vs. Wade was overturned via the “Dobbs” decision, which simply left the issue with each State to decide.  Therefore, a ban on late-term or partial-birth abortions is still needed in many States.

The Democrat Party successfully attracts women to be part of its base using the abortion issue. However, I believe that partial-birth abortion is detested by majorities of both genders and by majorities in both major political parties although it’s being used politically, but only if there are exceptions for rape, incest, and the life-of-the-mother.

The first four to six months of a pregnancy should be enough time for anyone to decide whether or not to abort a pregnancy, thereby rendering partial-birth abortions unnecessary. It’s time to end this horrific practice and forbid abortions after 16-20 weeks or so of pregnancy. Although it’s not everything that everyone wants, for now “half-a-loaf is better than nothing.”

CHILDHOOD SEX-CHANGE SURGERY IS CHILD ABUSE

Posted on by

My book, “Proud to be American,” is on sale now for $16.95 at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It includes this article. It’s a 300-page paperback book with 70 photos and a provocative introduction and conclusion. “Proud to be American” analyzes 68 national, international, and domestic issues that Main Stream media does not and cannot do. It critiques the far-left of the Democrat Party and its mouthpiece, Main Stream media.

A very small percentage of the population say they prefer being the opposite sex.  If an adult wants this and is able to pay the costs for doing it, so be it.  However, there are some children who think they really should be the opposite sex and their parents and/or teachers agree and want to support the child in this endeavor.  I believe that this is a very bad idea simply because, up until puberty (about 13-years old), children are almost gender-neutral.  They become a man or woman when their sex hormones rev up at puberty.  Up until then, plus a few more years for mental maturity (18-21 years old), children do not have the experience to know what they want. I worked with a total of about 500 boys as a Scout leader for 7 years and then as a camp counselor five years and therefore I know something about children.

Most of those who undergo transgender surgery eventually return to their biological gender, often with missing parts of their anatomy and lifelong regret. So what’s behind today’s push to Transgenderism?  Specifically, why do some politicians, school administrators, and children’s hospitals, as well as many others actually encourage it?  So who are the culprits behind knowingly destroying children’s lives through pre-maturely advocating sex-change surgeries?

Absent hard evidence, which of course there will never be in this matter, all I can do is speculate.  My conjecture, however, is seasoned with over 60 years of following politics, reading, watching, listening, voting for both major political parties as well as listening to subject-matter experts: children’s hospitals, some surgeons, physicians and pharmaceutical companies have a vested financial interest in Transgender hormone treatments and surgeries.  Childhood sex-change is currently a multi-billion dollar industry and projected to grow rapidly.  Please note, however, that many public school administrators, counselors and teachers are true believers in this insanity.

Finally, it is my firm belief is that the political Left has helped create another niche group and is cultivating it in order to have it vote for its political candidates.  The Democrat Party of the past would not do such a thing knowing some of its negative consequences.  However, today’s Democrat Party is controlled by the woke far-left, which has very different values than classic liberals that believed in free speech, civil rights for all,  was anti-war, etc.

Legislation is needed to prohibit childhood sex-change surgery.

HOW THE DEMOCRAT PARTY CAN REGAIN POPULARITY

Posted on by

My book, “Proud to be American,” is on sale for $16.95 from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It’s a 300-page paperback book with 68 articles in nine categories and with 70 photos. Moreover, it has a provocative introduction and conclusion and analyzes national, international and domestic issues that Main Stream Media (MSM) does not and cannot do. In addition, it criticizes the far-left of the Democrat Party as well as MSM.

American needs two major political parties.  I was hopeful that the resounding defeat the Democrat Party experienced in the 2024 elections would force it to do serious introspection to help ensure that such a humiliating defeat would never happen again. In fact, there were attempts from Democrats of all ilks, far-Left, moderate, and slightly-left.  All of the attempts, however, advocated going even further left instead of closely examining those Democrat policies that led to the Party’s defeat. Today’s Democrat Party, with 23% approval,  believes in biological men competing in women’s sports, illegal migrant murderers, rapists, and drug dealers remaining in the United States, hatred of Jews, hatred of police, fraudulent use of taxpayer money, vandalism to Tesla cars, mutilation of children’s sex organs, etc.

Because the Democrat Party, with a few exceptions, does not see what needs to be done to be competitive again, I thought I’d give my opinion, having followed politics for 65 years. For years I watched and listened for 15 hours a day  to political issues, now I spend about 5 hours/day. watching and listening to discussions of national and international issues.  The following is what it would take for me to vote for a Democrat president again:

1.The Democrat Party and its mouthpiece, Main Stream Media (MSM), must be completely honest in their criticism of President Trump.  There are things that the President can be criticized about but almost everything I hear about Trump on Main Stream Media is phony.  Perceiving and reporting on Trump’s real weaknesses is complicated and difficult whereas the ridiculous, mindless allegations by MSM are “half-simple” and require no thought or analysis. This is important because voters in the political middle and on the Right do not believe their insane fabricated drivel (and the Democrat Party needs votes from Independents and a few Republicans).

2. The Democrat Party must end their support of election and voter fraud.  Despite the efforts of Main Stream Media to the contrary, more and more voters are becoming savvy and aware of the shenanigans that occur in many elections, over 95% of which are in favor of Democrats. At this point, it would not be inaccurate to call the Democrat Party the “Criminal Party.” It’s got to stop.

3.Analyze the polling on national issues and try to support the 80% on 80/20 issues.  Your positions on issues are from the far-left of the Democrat Party and are not supported by a majority of Americans.

4.The exploitation of African-Americans needs to cease.  The Democrat Party has harmed that race for over 150 years.  At first with slavery, then with Reconstruction and Jim Crow laws, then with eugenics and Planned Parenthood, and now with politics. I believe African Americans would have been so much better off today were it not for the Democrat Party racism.

5.Whenever back  in power, enact balanced budgets, keep the military strong, stop the racist politics, don’t go overboard with taxes and regulations, and most importantly, don’t lie!

CONCLUSION

America needs two strong political parties. When at their best, each keeps the other honest. Currently, the Democrat Party is very weak and the far-left or progressive wing of the Party is still running it into the ground.  I can’t see Democrats winning elections with their very unpopular far-left positions on issues. At some point, America’s oldest political Party will either wake up or disappear.

DEMOCRAT PARTY IS NOT LIBERAL, REPUBLICAN PARTY NOT CONSERVATIVE

Posted on by

INTRODUCTION

Everyone knows that the Democrat Party is the liberal (or Progressive) party and the Republican Party is the conservative party.  But is this true?  I don’t think so.  Here’s why:  the Democrat and Republican parties stake out positions on many issues, most of which are neither liberal nor conservative.  It is much more accurate to characterize their positions as being either Democrat or Republican positions rather than liberal or conservative.

                                                                             BODY

For example,  is the $29 trillion U.S. National Debt liberal or conservative? Of course, it’s neither!  How about Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid?  Once again, a safety net for the elderly and the poor is neither liberal nor conservative.  I could continue on but I believe I made my point.  However, I can successfully argue that a strong military is favored by the Republican Party and a weak military is favored by the Democrat Party.  In addition, non-enforcement of our immigration laws is a tenet of the Democrat Party and strict enforcement is a tenet of the Republican Party.  Once again, these are not liberal or conservative positions but are simply political party preferences.  Another example, Sanctuary Cities are favored by the Democrat Party but are not favored by the Republican Party.  Another, man-made climate change is a Democrat idea, whereas Sun-caused (Solar-Flares, Sun Spots, Weak Solar Cycles 25, 26) climate change is a Republican idea.  Abortion is supported by Democrats, anti-abortion by Republicans.  None of these positions have anything to do with liberalism or conservatism so why muddy the waters?  Call them what there are: positions taken by either the Democrat Party or the Republican Party.

CONCLUSION

I think the language that is thrown around against both liberals and conservatives is sloppy, irresponsible and misleading and it needs to stop because it confuses voters.  Voters need to know what each political party stands for with much more precision and clarity so that they know exactly what policies they are supporting.  Calling voters names is what some people do when they can’t make intelligent, logical, and cogent arguments to support their positions.  I can’t find much to suggest that the Democrat Party is Liberal or Progressive, and that the Republican Party is Conservative so let’s call political party positions Democrat positions or Republican positions and drop the liberal and conservative labels. They are misleading.

MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE: PROS & CONS

Posted on by

Who can be against a livable wage and why would they possibly be against it?  That’s what this post is about.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) previously reported that if the minimum wage were to be increased to $10.10 nationwide, or a 40% increase, about 500,000 to 1,000,000 million minimum-wage employees, from a pool of 16,500,000 minimum wage employees, would lose their jobs because employers could not pay it and remain in small business.  However, if the new proposed minimum wage jumped to $15/hour, the effects of such a raise is estimated as being the loss of about one and a half million jobs.

So why do it?  The main argument is that it’s not a “living wage,” that no one can live on and raise a family on that wage.  Sounds like a reasonable justification but, of course, we need to look at other sides of the argument before reaching sound conclusions.  I already cited one of the primary reasons why government should not mandate raising the minimum wage too high…the loss of about 1,500,000 minimum-wage jobs; however, another significant reason is that it would almost shut down the first step on career ladders for unskilled workers…to the extent that they couldn’t even get that first job, get their foot in the door…because their work would not be worth $15/hour.  Many small businesses, like restaurants, are very sensitive to the minimum wage and when government mandates that wage to be increased substantially, restaurant prices increase substantially, which hurts the business and makes it fail (so the end result may also be the elimination of jobs).  Finally, it’s far more accurate to call the “minimum wage” the “starting wage,” because that’s exactly what it is for most people.

It appears that labor union leadership and consequently the Democrat Party is the only beneficiary of government mandating dramatic minimum wage increases with everyone else being harmed; therefore, gradual increases in the minimum wage may be able to satisfy genuine concerns of the minimum wage argument.

The best way to raise everyone’s wages the most is to create a booming economy like they did in North Dakota, for example,  where $15/hour was the starting wage in fast food restaurants because of the huge competition for employees that North Dakota’s great economy had fostered.  Former President Trump did precisely that with the U.S. economy, which resulted of a 3.4% increase in workers’ wages.  The government did not have to mandate minimum wages…they occurred naturally.
