Democrats/Leftists Bizarre Love Of Crime And Islam Endangering The U.S., West

 

A recently resurfaced 2024 video of Democrat Senator Chris Murphy on Chris Hayes’ then MSNBC show has gone viral after being shared on ‘X.’ Why? Because Murphy actually replied to a question Hayes posed by stating that undocumented immigrants are “the people we care about most.” (Isn’t that heartwarming?)

Well, kudos for transparency, Chris. Forget about the hard-working American citizen taxpayers who are forced to fund Democrats’ lavish payouts to illegal aliens when many of these folks can’t make ends meet. Forget about our veterans. Forget about entrepreneurs, job providers, and those fighting cancer, for example. Democrats’ care most about criminals and non-citizens, especially those who are unapologetically both.

As I have repeatedly stated over the years, The Great Replacement Theory isn’t a conspiracy theory, but an obvious fact. The conspiracy theory—or hoax—is that The Great Replacement Theory is a conspiracy or hoax.

Today’s Democrats love criminals the way they used to love slavery. You see, they use crime as they used slavery: to gain power for themselves.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson recently stated that incarcerating criminals is “racist”… and “immoral” and “unholy.” Um, Mayor BJ, are you implying that peoples of color can’t help but steal, rape, and murder? If so, that seems a bit racist to me. As for what is immoral and unholy, perhaps you would like to speak to the countless families who have had a loved one raped or murdered by a repeat offender, illegal or otherwise.

The inability or unwillingness to speak the truth—or the love of lies and the Father of Lies—infuriates me to no end. The (formerly) United States has to have a come-to-Jesus moment very soon or we will descend into hell in a handbasket. We have already started on that voyage. Two key truisms must be realized: first, unwarranted mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. Second, Islam is simply and utterly incompatible with a free democratic republic. Period.

Gad Saad has long spoken of the “suicidal empathy” that plagues-- and endangers-- the West.

Mark Steyn has long stated that “demography is destiny.”

Two more truisms.

 

Truth Or Consequences

 

We are Biblically enjoined to seek the truth, so here are a few off the top of my head:

The reason a number of formerly great European nations are so reluctant to aid, in any way, the United States in fighting the Iranian terror regime and its various violent iterations is because of their significant Muslim populations. This just proves that they are already defeated. And, sadly, no longer great. In a sense, America is fighting for the Europeans yet again, only this time the Europeans are particularly ungrateful about that fact. This is at least the third time, after World War I, World War II, and the Cold War, that we have sacrificed life and wealth to try to eliminate existential military threats to the West. You’re welcome.

Nextly, all of recorded history illustrates that Islam is not a true religion, but a violent political movement led by truly toxic and embittered males. Any leftist who purports to be enamored of it is spectacularly ignorant or mentally ill.

The are only two sexes. The sexes are binary. This is both scientifically true and Biblically mandated, as in “male and female He made them.” And, for what it’s worth, this sexual dimorphism and complementarity is the sole reason for our existence. So, there’s that.

Democrats lie, incessantly. Not just garden-variety lies, but great big, mother-of-all-lies lies. In fact, they often proclaim as true the most preposterously untrue, 180 degrees from reality untruths, things that could not possibly be true. Such as, “Men can become women and vice-versa, just by wishing it so.” Or, “Christian nationalists and Islamophobia are the biggest threats to America, but Islam is a religion of peace.” Or, “You are not seeing what you’re seeing—and good is evil and evil is good.”

Trump, on the other hand, rarely outright lies. He exaggerates. Often and bigly. Sometimes very bigly…”like nobody has ever seen before.” But there is always at least a kernel of truth behind these exaggerations, and this is dramatically preferrable to always trying to tell the biggest outright, bald-faced lie possible to mislead or persuade low information voters.

Democrats are masters of projection, routinely accusing their political opponents of doing what they do, and revel in, even—or especially—when their political opponents typically do not do so. To me, this sails far past disingenuousness into truly despicable territory.

The election of 2020 was stolen from Trump, in so many ways. There is no way that decrepit old crook Joe Biden received 81 million votes. Despite unending media stories to the contrary, there is an astronomical amount of evidence for these claims. This is simply the truth, but, for Blogger’s legal purposes, I will also state, “THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS, IN FACT, STOLEN…OR THAT IT WASN’T THE MOST REMARKABLY SECURE, BEATIFIC ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. EVERY ONE OF THE VARIOUS VOTE COUNTING MACHINES FUNCTIONED PERFECTLY AND IN AN UTTERLY NON-BIASED FASHION. THERE WAS NO FRAUD WHATSOEVER.”

Lastly for today, the truth is the truth, whether one refuses to recognize it or not. Simply averring that 4 + 4 equals 9 doesn’t make it so. Because, as Ben Shapiro says, “facts don’t care about your feelings.”

There will be dire consequences if we continue to ignore these truths.

The Wealth-- And Fraud-- Of This Nation

 

I have been thinking (as I occasionally do) recently about the sheer vastness of America’s wealth—and the staggering lies and ungratefulness of many of those who receive its largess.

First, the wealth. Only a capitalist (relatively) free market system based on individual rights and the rule of law is capable of producing such generalized wealth. Period. History has made that abundantly clear. The science is settled.

There is so much wealth, whether measured on a relative and historical scale or in absolute numbers, that remarkably few Americans seem particularly pissed off that so much of it is stolen and handed to others who did not earn it— a great many of whom entered the country illegally! Fraudulent Somali daycare and learing centers, NEMTs, autism clinics, trucking and shipping firms, and home health care centers have received countless millions-- or billions-- of dollars across the fruited plane. Nick Shirley has recently scratched the surface of what is almost certainly mindboggling fraud perpetrated by California’s “hospice” industry, most of which are most likely owned and operated by non-citizens.

And then there are the NGOs of Doge infamy, many of which were/are simply tools to launder money for the Democrat Party. Turns out, entire governmental departments exist largely to benefit the Democrat Party, as well. Moreover, many charitable organizations, both here and abroad, are essentially scams. Some launder money for terrorist groups, others have leaders who suck up most of the donations themselves (think BLM). Sadly, even much of the massive amounts of money given by the U.S. to ameliorate crises and suffering in other nations has, historically, often simply been confiscated by the ruling regime-- or other “bad actors,” as Trump might say.

If anyone other than Shirley would seriously investigate the ubiquitous fraud plaguing us, I truly believe what would be found would shock the nation. At times I look around and say to myself, “Everything everywhere is fraud. It’s all a scam. And the victims are the middle-American taxpayers, the law-abiding citizens, the patriotic Christian nationalists who are so despised by the mainstream media and the Democrat Party. Odd, isn’t it? It’s the opposite of what they claim. It’s almost like they planned this all out.”

And yet, those like Ilhan Omar (who came to the US with nothing and is now supposedly worth millions) and her ilk incessantly bash the United States and all of its institutions. They say the US is intolerant, greedy, misogynistic, bigoted, fill-in-the-blank. Amazing. And repulsive.

How could this happen? Well, it’s not like we are all flying the Gadsden Flag anymore, is it? After all, the vast majority of Americans acquiesced to the COVID-19 lockdowns and allowed their sovereign bodies to be penetrated by an experimental concoction vaccine while effectively hiding under their beds.

In a just world, we would all be refusing to pay our taxes until an (allegedly) solid commitment is made by our government to root out this fraud and punish the fraudsters and grifters. Yeah, like that is gonna happen any time soon. The Swamp zealously protects those who dwell there. And it doesn't like you and I. And I don’t believe in fairy tales.

Personally, I’d rather shave a bobcat’s butt in a phone booth with a cheese grater, while chewing tinfoil and doing my taxes-- all the while listening to Whoopi Goldberg-- than to have my money squandered this way.

Many Americans are very well off. Many more receive lavish benefits which they don’t truly deserve. And many illegals do, too. It is hard to believe that they—and we-- all have to be reminded that theft, deception, fraud, grift, money laundering, bribery, and the like, are wrong. As the Founders knew, this country will only survive as long as it is populated by a moral people.

It is time to wake up, America. This is not only a fiscal issue, but a moral one. Some may see this as ironic, but everything—and everyone—would be better off if all of the fraud and deception was eliminated.

The national debt could eventually be greatly reduced or likely eliminated. Therefore, taxes could be reduced, spurring spending by individuals, not governments, leading to rapid economic expansion. People would then have more money to give to the specific local charities in which they believe and trust. And trust in organizations and government could be rebuilt, leading to less skepticism, anger, and hopelessness. Etc., etc.

If we could turn entitlement and bitterness into gratitude…what a wonderful world it would be.

 

An Evening With Gavin Newsom And Andre Dickins (A Blogger Exclusive!)

 

“An Evening with Gavin Newsom and Andre Dickins”

Rialto Center for the Arts

Atlanta, Georgia

(A full house of mostly Black folks on hand.)

 

Mayor Andrew Dickens: ”Everybody, please welcome Gavin Newsom, the honorable governor of the great state of California!” (Much applause.)

Gov. Gavin Newsom: “Thank you mayor and thank you, Atlanta.”

Dickens: “You have a new book coming out, I hear.”

Newsom: “That’s correct. It’s called “Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery.”

Dickens: “What is it about?”

Newsom (looking a bit confused and hurt): “Me.”

Dickens: "Tell us more.”

Newsom: “It’s about my burning desire to help others, which I exhibited early on, despite my crippling lysdexia…I mean dyslexia.”

Dickens: “How would you categorize the book and its message?”

Newsom: “Well you see, Mayor Dinkens--“

Dickens: “It’s Dickens.”

Newsom: “Sorry, Toby.”

Dickens: "It’s Andrew.”

Newsom: "Right. My bad. Anyway, I’m just like you people…an idiot. I can’t even read, though in my case it’s because I have lysdexia…I mean dyslexia. But I am just as dumb as you are.”

Dickens (shaken and unsure of how to proceed): “That…that…that is offensive Governor Newsom!”

Newsom: “Chill, bro’. Peace out. I didn’t mean no nothin’ by that, except to say that I’m no better than you. I am one of you, actually.”

Dickens: “I don’t think you are.”

Newsom: “I can’t read. I can’t figure out how to find my birth certificate. I like watermelon and fried chicken. I am just like you. Hell, I can’t swim, either. But you should hear me rap. Want to?”

Dickens: “No.”

Newsom (chagrinned): “Come on, man! Do a brother a solid. Anyway, you know I can’t read, but I can write, I guess. Well, actually dictate. I’m a very strong dictator! So, I ask all the peeps in my posse, all the peoples of color to read my book, ‘Moung Yan in a Hurry.’ Oh, shit, since ya’ll can’t read, either, I guess…um, I’m asking all of you to have someone read you my book—"

A Devolutionary War?

 

An ever-increasing number of despondent Westerners are taking to social media to state things like, “I took a walk today. I don’t recognize my town anymore.” Or, “Nothing is like I remember it from my youth.” Or, I feel like a stranger in my own country.” Etc., etc. Many of us have a longing for yesteryear.

There are multiple reasons for this, but every damn one of them is either directly or indirectly caused by Democrats and their disdain for the United States and traditional Americans. Period. Their policies, such as they are, are soft on crime and hard on law-abiding citizens and taxpayers. Their education system poisons childrens’ minds, teaching them to detest their country-- and that patriotic Christians, especially straight white men, are the biggest threat to the nation. Their teachers tell them capitalism is evil and socialism is far fairer and kinder, a lie of staggering proportions. They inform them that “science” is conclusive and immutable: climate change is destroying the earth and there are an infinite number of genders. And that Orange Man bad. Everyone of those things is a bald-faced lie, including that “science” could ever be conclusive and immutable. In their spare time, these rabid indoctrinated indoctrinators tell our kiddies that there are also an infinite variation of families but imply that the worst kind is one headed by one cis-male dad and one cis-female mom. And, in too many cases, they may sexually—as well as mentally—abuse them.

In doing so, in committing these crimes, they leave kids depressed, adrift, bitter, and confused. Even broken. What a way to start out one’s life. It is no wonder that test scores are dropping as rates of mental illness have skyrocketed.

Social media has contributed to the anger, angst, and depression of many. The likes of Mark Zuckerburg, Reid Hoffman, TikTok, and Alphabet, Inc., though also doing some good, have had an adverse effect on the well-being of far too many. Instead of feeling connected, countless folks, especially youngsters, are left feeling inferior, assaulted, oddly lonely, and depressed.

In short, we are far from guiltless in the coarsening of our own societies.

That said, what I am about to state will be very controversial and may well subject me to attacks from everyone on The Left, and a few on the right, but is nonetheless the truth. The gravest danger to Western countries going forward is the rapid Islamization of their nations. No matter what Keir Starmer, Mark Carney, Catherine Connolly, or Zohran Mamdani say, this is inarguably the case. Look at the countries from which Muslims come. Look at England, Canada, Ireland, or New York City three or four decades ago and compare that to what they look like today. Same for France, Germany, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, and others. It is shocking. It is embarrassing. It is a continually unfolding invasion. It is leading to the rapid devolution of Western nations and the consequent degradation of quality of life, safety, and even character. It is a crime, one for which these nations’ leaders should be held accountable. These countries should look to the American Revolution for guidance on how to protect individual freedoms and counteract invasions and usurpations. So should many more Americans, for that matter.

Everyone can see what’s happening. Few will be brave enough to say anything. Fewer still will commit themselves to fight the status quo.

And so: Mayor Mamdani says, “we should look to Islam.” Canada is about to criminalize certain Bible verses. The UN Human Rights Council (hee-hee) refuses to defend female victims of Sharia Law. A California Democratic lawmaker recently introduced legislation that would recognize two Muslim holidays as official state holidays. (This as opposed to only one—Christmas—for Christians.) Pakistani rape gangs go unpunished in the UK while those tweeting unfavorable things about Islam are visited by the constabulary and/or arrested. In Britain, a Sikh restaurant owner was arrested for the crime of not selling halal meat. That is sick. Incredibly, in Sweden, the state cited a family’s practice of attending a Christian church three times a week, and other traditional parenting practices, as evidence of "religious extremism" and justification for keeping the children taken from their parents after a false abuse claim. If things continue as they are, Sweden doesn’t have a prayer.

As I have previously written, unless the West somehow quickly grows a spine and sheds its suicidal empathy and hyper-tolerance, a New Dark Age awaits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Enemy's Munitions And Missiles Are Under Schools And Hospitals And Mosques; What Do We Do?

 

Every sentient being knew going into the war with Iran that the extraordinarily difficult aspect of it would be to somehow effect positive regime change without inserting large numbers of ground troops into the theater. The U.S., frankly, has been utterly-- if not disastrously-- ineffective in effecting positive regime change/nation building since the end of World War II. This is because neither its leaders nor its citizens have had the stomach for a long-term conflict, no matter the reason or possible result.

In the modern terrorist/jihadi world, conflict—no matter how legitimate and necessary-- has been further complicated by the Muslim world’s leaders placing much of their missile, drone, and other weapons under schools, hospitals, and mosques, knowing we won’t bomb these institutions. Or that, if we do, the mainstream media will immediately brand us as the bad guys and incessantly show weeping mothers and heartbroken spouses until the conflict is ended.

Given this acquiescence to the Satanic, evil cannot be defeated. Ever. Period. Which in turn guarantees a hell on earth, with repression, rape, slavery, hopelessness, etc., for those in the repressive states, and eventually to everyone else.

In light of this, how do we win? Can we win? Is it better to allow the world’s dark and depraved tyrants to prevail, with all that entails for humanity until the sun expires?

Or, not unlike Truman deciding to use nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to avoid the death of hundreds of thousands of Americans, do we bomb these locations anyway? This is a serious question. A brutally, heinously serious one. One that guts me. Dear God, I don’t wish for myself or my family—or yours-- to be under those schools or hospitals.

But, on balance, I see no other choice. Do you?

 

Recycling? ID Please! Voting For The Leader Of The Free World? Meh, No Need, It's All Good!

 

Remarkably, Connecticut Democrats recently rushed through what some are calling an “emergency anti-fraud” law requiring the state’s recycling centers to collect a copy of a person’s driver’s license when they turn in more than 1,000 cans or bottles in a day. The bill passed both chambers of the state’s legislature and was subsequently signed by Gov. Ned Lamont. Why the need for the new law? Well, the Constitution States has had issues with non-residents crossing its border to take advantage of Connecticut’s higher return rate of 10 cents a can (instead of the more common five cents per returnable rate.)

Non-residents crossing a border to take advantage of a state’s largesse? Where have we heard that one before? Sounds vaguely familiar, doesn’t it?!

If you go down to your local convenience store to buy a pack of smokes, you need to produce an ID. And, obviously, if you wish to purchase a fishing license, you will need to present an ID. And, of course, it goes without saying that if you would like to return a bunch of cans or bottles to a recycling center to help the environment, and maybe earn a buck or two, you would have to present an ID.

But no ID is needed if you wish to vote for the president and commander-in-chief of the United States and the leader of the free world. Why would you need an ID to do something as banal and immaterial as that?! Right?

This is so self-evidently insane that it beggars description. Only a person who truly despises his/her/they/zir country—or a mentally disturbed person-- could be in favor of this state of affairs. In other words, a Democrat. But what is even more mind boggling-- and terrifying-- is that a significant percentage of Americans appear willing to accept this status quo, even if they are adamantly against it. (I guess that's why so many took the COVID jab and abided by all of the shelter in place and social distancing mandates.)

I say, bring back the rebels. Let’s channel the spirit of the Boston Tea Party and make George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, et. al., proud. Let’s bring back the Gadsden flag and fly it proudly. When our Congressional representatives refuse to act on the wishes of more than 80% of the American citizens they are supposed to represent, they should be-- at least figuratively-- tarred and feathered. Tell them the next time we have a Tea Party, Beer Party, or any other gathering, they aren’t allowed in without an ID. Preferably one proving that they are for the American people, not against them. In the meantime, never quit calling, texting, and emailing your representatives and their assistants. Tell them you simply won’t put up with taxation without representation. In our 250^th year, let’s come full circle.

Finally, let’s make an appeal to Heaven…that the SAVE Act is enacted and government of, by, and for the people does not perish from the earth.

Massive Study Finds Myocarditis And Pericarditis Only In Vaccinated Youth

 

A recent Blaze Media report states that a “peer-reviewed study — conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford, the University of Bristol, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and published in January in the scientific journal Epidemiology — looked at the safety and effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in healthy children ages 5-15 following the rollout that began in late 2021.”

The researchers compared the "effectiveness and safety of: (1) the first vaccine dose versus no vaccination and (2) a second dose versus a single dose only. They compared more than 552,000 youths who were given a first dose of the vaccine with equal numbers of unvaccinated children from the same age groups.

Their findings? Briefly put, “Myocarditis and pericarditis were documented only in the vaccinated groups.” (Emphasis mine.) The study found "That there were no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in the unvaccinated group,” though the researchers needlessly noted that this doesn’t mean that the non-vaccinated are free from risk.

Despite these findings, and many others like them, a coalition of medical organizations are fighting to legally force the government to keep recommending that even healthy kids and pregnant women take the COVID jabs. What does this tell us about them?

The experimental mRNA non-vaccine vaccines left far too many kids with broken hearts. Literally. And broke the hearts of those who love them.

The COVID-19 Plandemic did immeasurable damage to individuals, society, and the concept of freedom and individual rights granted by our Creator. In truth, it broke far too many of us.

Several of my family members and friends took the jab, some because they were essentially forced to-- and some because they naively thought they were doing the right thing for humanity. In doing so, they were duped by their own government-- and alleged “experts.” Perhaps one-third of them have experienced significant adverse effects. Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Myocarditis, tachycardia, etc.

I didn’t acquiesce to the jab, like some of my loved ones did. So how do I feel about all of this?

Heartbroken.

This kind of obedience to a leviathan government scares and depresses me. It is precisely what the founders rebelled—and fought—against. As many have noted, no one involved in this full-frontal assault on the Bill of Rights has been held accountable. This Mother of All Hoaxes drove some mad, stunted our children’s academic and interpersonal growth, forced nearly 30% of restaurants to close, most permanently, strained marriages, and markedly increased rates of mental illness…all while making it clear that some jobs—and people—were more important than others. In short, it broke us.

And that was the point.

And that was why I would have died before accepting the fact that I did not have the right to prevent Big Government and Big Pharma from doing what they would to my body, mind, and soul. Back on April 4, 2020, I wrote a piece simply titled “COVID-1984,” exactly 1,984 words in length, in which I compared the “lockdowns,” “social distancing,” and other nonsensically draconian anti-COVID measures mandated then to the tyrannical measures employed to destroy the will of the people in George Orwell’s iconic book, “1984.” Both were meant to control the little people while leaving the elites unbound.

Some of those elites are happy with the “big test” that the coronavirus lockdowns provided. And the test results. And some are hoping to someday soon make those lockdowns permanent in an alleged attempt to dramatically lessen human activity and allow the earth to “heal.”

The only proper and effective response to that is: “Bleep you. Don’t tread on me.”

 

 

 

 

California's "Butterfly Bridge" Incomplete, Over Budget

 

The great state of California, erstwhile Land of Milk and Honey, is allegedly nearing completion of the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing (WAWC), an overpass for animals above ten lanes of the 101 Freeway in Southern California. The state’s governor, Gavin “Slick” Newsom, was all but giddy at the span’s groundbreaking ceremony in 2022. Today, nearly four years after that ceremony, the bridge is well past its projected completion date and at least $21 million over budget and counting. Yet, WAWC project leader and cougar fan Beth Pratt told the City Journal that the state’s taxpayers’ are footing the bill for an overpass “for everything from monarch butterflies to mountain lions.”

Does Newsom not know that butterflies can fly? (Hence the name.)  I mean, his lysdexia dyslexia shouldn’t come into play here. Butterflies don’t need a “bridge” to anywhere. In fact, monarch butterflies migrate from all over the United States to Mexico, some traveling upwards of 1,500 miles. Note to Newsom and crew: they don’t walk. They fly. Over things. Ergo they, like birds, don’t need bridges. And the population of squirrels, rabbits, and other rodents, needs to be thinned out, anyway. Deer are too dumb to use a bridge humans designate for animals only.

There is no ramp up to the Butterfly Bridge at this point, which means it is doing no good for any animal that can’t fly…and isn’t needed for any that can. Surely the state will add a ramp or something to allow land-bound critters to cross the ten-lane freeway, probably at a cost of several more million dollars or more. California taxpayers, will that fly with you? Guess you don’t really have a choice. (Taxation without representation?)

And mountain lions? They aren’t going to be impressed by the 26 million pounds of concrete used to support the bridge’s topside, which includes up to four feet of soil, thousands of native plants, various rock formations, and sound walls made from natural vegetation. A simple span would have sufficed.

Well over two billion cars have crossed California’s other famous span, the Golden Gate Bridge, since its opening. That bridge cost between 35 and 37 million dollars at the time (in 1930s dollars). The Butterfly Bridge has so far consumed nearly $114 million taxpayer dollars and no animals have yet been able to traverse it. (Though it is likely some butterflies have flown over it.) The Golden Gate Bridge is 4,200-feet long compared to the Butterfly Bridge’s 210-foot span and took a little over four years to build. The WAWC is currently in its fourth year of construction. Compare and contrast.

How much fraud, corruption, and profligate waste of taxpayer’s money is enough?

I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. If we can.
