Europe is Lost, Is America Next?

By Rich Kozlovich

WWI created the greatest historical/social/cultural transformation in history. From that point on the western world began to abandon the Judaic/Christian values and principles that created Europe, and the churches were just as responsible as Europe’s leaders. As time went by it all morphed into believing in nothing/anything/everything, which metastasized into what were seeing unfolding in all of western civilization, with Victor Davis Hanson's article laying historical and intellectual foundation for how and why Europe is doomed using Germany as the example.  

We’re watching western leftists embrace Islam, including homosexuals, all of whom subscribe to everything Islam abhors.  How can they be so clueless as to not recognize that if Muslims took control and imposed Sharia they would be among the first executed?   Islam hates the things they promote such as women's rights, homosexuality and transgenderism.  There would be no freedom of speech, no freedom of religion, including atheism, no freedom to publicly protest anything Islamists imposed on society. 

Iran’s leadership in the past gathered up 30,000 people who opposed them and murdered them, and that's not just a modern expression of Islam, that's almost 1500 years of Islamic history, and the left insists any negative comments about Islam is Islamophobia,

America is in Crisis.  The dangerous reality of Islam in America isn't a phobia.  A phobia is an intense irrational fear of an "object, situation, activity, which causes irrational distress".  Fear of Islam isn't a phobia, it's a reality, and it's a reality that's history based, a history that's incontestable.

Minneapolis: 

Islamized America: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Goes Full Mogadishu - Mayor Jacob Frey is facing renewed criticism after appearing on stage speaking Somali at a celebration marking the 65th anniversary of Somalia’s independence. The event, mainly attended by Somali immigrants, has drawn attention to Frey’s ongoing alignment with foreign cultural and religious agendas over American civic identity...........

New York:  

Hamas’s Man in New York: Zohran Mamdani, The Holy Land Five, and the Marxist-Islamic Threat to America -  Support for the Holy Land Five, rooted in Islamic and Marxist ideologies, raises alarms about national security and prompts calls for denaturalization of non-citizens who endorse these terrorist financiers. The “Holy Land Five”, a reference to five men convicted of financing the Muslim terrorist group Hamas in 2008, has become a cause célèbre for militant Islamic and Marxist activists, including Zohran Mamdani, the “democrat” nominee for mayor of New York City.

Defenders of the Holy Land Five epitomize the Red/Green Axis, a convergence of Marxism and Islam. The Holy Land Five activists rewrite history, claiming that the Holy Land Foundation was simply a charitable organization, but that is a lie. In fact, the 2008 trial resulted in guilty verdicts on all 108 counts, with sentences ranging from 15 to 65 years, upheld on appeal in 2011. The defendants underwent due process, including legal representation, a public trial, and appeals.

A former aspiring rapper, Zohran Mamdani’s anti-American 2017 song “Salaam” weaponizes the fabricated narrative of Islamophobia to glorify convicted Hamas financiers, rapping, “My love to the Holy Land Five. You better look ’em up,” and calling them “my guys.”........ 

Texas:  

ISIS Supporters, Bin Laden Allies, Child Bride Fatwas, and a Taliban-Loving Imam — All Operating Freely in Texas - Tarrant County GOP Chairman Bo French is doing what few others have the courage to do: investigating militant Islamic networks operating right in North Texas. As head of the county Republican Party, French launched a personal probe into these groups, and what he uncovered is deeply disturbing. While most conservative leaders stay silent about the growing Islamic threat in Texas, French is exposing extremist ties and dangerous networks quietly taking root in his own backyard. Here’s some of what Bo French’s investigation found:......

Plano Mayor Gives Radical Mosque Special Access to School Board to Enforce Islamic Values—Revealing the Power EPIC Masjid Wields in Texas - Plano, Texas — In a deeply alarming and politically revealing moment, a newly surfaced video captures Plano Mayor John B. Muns inside the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), meeting with mosque leadership—including Yasir Qadhi, a cleric with a long-documented record of radical Islamic views—and offering them direct, special access to Plano school board members.......

The world is facing a globalized intifada, and the left is working overtime to normalize their violent behavior, especially against Jews, and on American soil.  The attack against those two young Israelis who were about to become engaged and gunned down in Washington DC, and the attack by Mohamad Sabry Soliman using a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails against peaceful and unarmed supporters of Israel is just a symptom of the infection of Islam in America.  Is this leading up to an October 7th style event here in America?  If they thought they could get away with it, they would do it, but this isn't Israel, and here they're facing Donald Trump, not Obama, Joe Biden and fortunately, not Kamala Harris.  

Suffering is the Beginning of Wisdom

By Rich Kozlovich

During Trump's first term he accomplished more than the previous four Presidents combined.  Now, Trump has been in office for six months and in these last six months he's accomplished more than the previous five Presidents combined, which includes Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George H.W. Bush, and if I add Jimmy Carter, he's accomplished more than all six of them combined.  In point of fact, he's had to undo the damage they brought to the nation and the world, and Carter is at the top of that list with his idiotic economic and foreign policy decisions, and now some nitwit at the US Postal Service is issuing a Jimmy Carter Forever Stamp.  Even Reagan, as successful as he was, didn't match what Trump has accomplished. 

He's managed to end a number of wars, or at least getting cease fire agreements, for conflicts that have gone on for years, and the left is outraged, and their catspaws in the media twists and turns like the snakes they are trying to diminish, defame, and discredit what he's accomplished, a corrupt media he's pretty much destroyed.  

He's ending illegal immigration, deporting those here illegally, and taken on an out of control federal judiciary, fixing education, working to end unbridled lawlessness, and challenging terrorists including drug cartels. 

He's worked hard to dismantle a remarkably corrupt administrative state including the DOD, DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA and a number of agencies that have thrown billions away, and more often than not, in support of America's enemies.  

I noticed one of my Suffering is the Beginning of Wisdom articles being hit, and when that happens I'll go back to see why.  Well, I'd forgotten about those articles and as I read them I thought they were really quite good, and given the insanity being promoted by the left, especially the Democrat "leadership", and media, against Trump I decided I should put them forward once again.  

So, enjoy my Suffering is the Beginning of Wisdom Series.

What To Do About Drugs?

By Rich Kozlovich

Recently I saw an article by someone I have a great deal of respect for involving the legalization of drugs.  And like him, I’ve always been an anti-drug guy, and like him I’ve thought legalization could end much of the problems associated with drugs.  But it only took me nanosecond to pass on that as it really wouldn’t, it would increase them.  And of course the usual stuff about how Prohibition actually created organized crime in America.  It didn't, it was already here, it just made it rich.

Alcohol has always been a component of every culture that ever existed, and in fact is considered part of the food matrix in European nations.  It also can be consumed without addiction if used moderately, and won’t destroy the mind used in that form, and within 24 hours nothing of it will remain in the body.   It’s part of human culture, and culture is king.

These illegal drugs become addictive very quickly, alter the mind early, and there’s talk of genetic damage associated with some of them.  Legalizing them will increase use, poverty, misery, suffering and early death. 

As I thought about the legalization I determined the only way it would work would be adopting the policy that once someone went down that path, they cut themselves off from any financial/medical support from society, and let the cards fall where they may.  If they died as a result, that was the solution.  But we all know the bleeding hearts would demand all sorts of support for these people and the costs would skyrocket right along with the number of addicts.

When the communists took over China in 1949 they had, per ratio, the largest drug addicted population on earth, largely due to the efforts of the first drug cartel, the British Empire.  England had a massive trade imbalance with China, as the Brits didn’t have a thing the Chinese wanted, so Britain shipped in opium from other nations causing massive societal problems, which along with other things, triggered the Boxer Rebellion.

In five years the communists ended their addiction problem.  First, they ended importation of opium, put the dealers out of business, and I think they shot them, but my memory is cloudy on that.  They then arrested those addicted and put them through rehabilitation, at least twice, and I think a third time.  After that they were arrested as criminals, and while my memory cloudy on this, I believe they were either worked to death or shot.  And for a leadership responsible for the murder of tens of million of their citizens, killing drug addicts would be no big deal to them.

The same kind of thing happened to end the black marketeering in China the late 70’s.  They kept warning society there would be terrible consequences if it didn’t end.  It didn’t, so they arrested those involved and shot them.   I doubt if either of those scenarios ended those problems entirely, but there was a vast reduction in both.

There’s no easy solution to end drug addiction in a society.  If they really want to seriously reduce it they have to ignore international boundaries and kill all the suppliers and dealers, and then put the addicted into work camps/prison permanently.  

Since that won’t fly in America, it won’t go away as long as there’s an economy to support it!  That leaves increasing the penalties for those involved just to keep them off the streets, and if they commit crimes while under the influence of drugs, the penalties should automatically be doubled, and depending on the crime, that should include execution.  None of that will happen either as the bleeding hearts are probably users.

The illicit drug trade is so lucrative they'll risk anything, even the Mafia in America succumbed as the money was too huge to ignore.  

The Dominican Republic chased a cocaine carrying boat for 12 hours and found 1.5 tons of cocaine, which would have translated into between $37.5 million to over $300 million depending on purity, and that was small potatoes as the Dominican Republic seized more than 46 tons of drugs last year, which would have translated into billions.  

And that kind of money buys protection, not only from the thugs they hire, but also from police, military, judges, and politicians, and in countries like Mexico, they're can easily be considered a shadow government filling society with fear and intimidation.  If the penalties aren't severe enough, there will be no control.

Who Really Are the Destroyers of Western Civilization

Muslims, Rape, Crime, and Western Civilization

I've been reading The March of Folly by Barbara W. Tuchman published in 1984, and it's just as relevant today as it was then.  Why?  Because she asks why do leaders make decisions that are so obviously destructive to their own societies, both secular and religious, and the history she outlines gives you the answer.  Truth be told, as you read the things that went on in Europe's religious communities over the centuries you have to wonder how Europe remained Christian as long as it did.

• In the UK And The US, Racial Subgroups Refuse To Address The Criminals Among Them Vince Coyner Their silence would seem to give both communities a pass, but eventually, they’ll discover that providing cover for rapists and killers backfires on them...........
• Rotherham Grooming Gang Inquiry Told Not to Investigate ‘Senior Officers’ - A whistleblower has claimed that an inquiry into the Rotherham child rape grooming gang scandal intentionally avoided implicating senior police officers in a report on local failures to protect young girls in the English town. The left-wing Labour government of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has claimed that previous local investigations into Muslim grooming gangs have been sufficient and that a fresh national inquiry into the widespread child abuse and the politically correct failures to safeguard primarily young white girls is not needed............
• Sex and Islam...and the decline of the West January 5, 2025 by Andrea Widburg The grooming/rape gang scandal enveloping the British government is a microcosm of Islam’s obsession and the West’s decline.........

Islam isn't a religion, it's a political criminal movement masquerading as a religion, and it isn't just about sex, it's about every criminal activity known to man that's not only excused by Islam, it's encouraged.

When Sultan Mehmed II was trying to conquer Constantinople things weren't going so well, and he turned that around by offering his troops everything in the city, all the wealth they could find, and everyone in the city, including nuns who were raped, enslaved, and dragged naked through the city. The only thing he would keep for himself was the city itself.

That turned the tables. No matter what's written, the foundational principles of Islam are greed, envy, hate, lust, and violence. That's why they get along with socialists, shared values.

After Musk Comments on Grooming Gangs, UK PM Warns Against 'Debate Based on Lies'. Elon Musk has criticised the UK government’s handling of child grooming gangs in a series of messages on his social media site X. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to protect victims of child sexual abuse and warned it won’t tolerate discussions on the issue that are based on lies. His remarks follow an ongoing exchange between UK politicians and tech billionaire Elon Musk, who is set to act as an adviser to the upcoming Trump presidency. Musk has claimed that Starmer had failed to bring “rape gangs” to justice when he was director of public prosecutions. He also suggested that safeguarding minister Jess Phillips “deserves to be in prison” after she denied requests for a public inquiry in Oldham......

Elon Musk Calls for Long-Overdue National Inquiry in UK on Rape Gang Scandal - In a series of posts on X, Elon Musk has been calling attention to a years-long scandal in Britain that was hushed up for years and is still receiving insufficient attention from British authorities: the phenomenon of rape gangs. These gangs have victimized tens of thousands of British girls, and quite likely many more than that. Yet for decades, authorities have been slow to altogether inactive in moving against them, and have occasionally even punished their victims and rewarded the perpetrators. The reason for this lies in the perpetrators’ identity and motivating ideology, which few dare to face.

This is the suicide of cultures that are mired in leftism, and who's fault is it these immigrant monsters are murdering innocent people in America?    According to the CEO at AllState tells us it's Americans who are at fault, because we're addicted to decisiveness.  And his solution is what? He pontificates:

 

We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust and accept people’s imperfections and differences. Together we win.

Wow, does that sound great?  There's a problem with that though.  It's stupid.  The positive that needs to be amplified are the traditional Judaic/Christian values that made America great, and the left has been fighting that for almost 150 years in America, tooth and nail, and violently.  This divisiveness isn't an addiction, it's self defense against a philosophy of national suicide.  

A recent article by Patricia McCarthy she partially quoted Cicero, but here's the full quote:

 "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." -  Marcus Tullius Cicero 

Only Cicero never said that.  While I've used this quote in some of my articles, there's no evidence Cicero ever said that.  It originates from a  1965 novel A Pillar of Iron by Taylor Caldwell, but so what?   Does it really matter who said it?  The thoughts are valid nonetheless, and most certainly apply to what we've been seeing going on in America since the late 19th century, and when Stalin started sending his spies to America in 1920 ultimately filling the FDR administration with so many agents it became known as the most infiltrated government in the history of the world.  

It's a good quote that needs to be used more often, with a caveat, because it defines who's destroying Western Civilization.  It's leaders, both religious and secular.  I'll have more on this soon.

Culture is King

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: Culture is King! Even When the Culture is Insane!

 

On November 17, 2024 Deborah C. Tyler published this piece, The Incurable TDS, saying with some outstanding verbiage:

We are living through an astonishing time in our nation’s political history.  Somewhat more than half of Americans see President Trump as a leader of courage, energy, and commitment with a proven record of promoting peace and strengthening both the U.S. economy and the southern border against an illegal invasion, whereas the other half sees only personal evil in Trump and describes him with adolescent hyperbole, habitually comparing him to Adolf Hitler.  That half is not able to thoughtfully assess Trump’s policies, or even its own economic or political interests.  

Instead, these people cling to a sense of moral superiority and are obsessed with the imputed personal sins of a man they despise...... this is not a free-standing mental disorder.  Rather, it is a delusional symptom cluster at the terminal stage of a sixty-year vast, progressively insane attempt by the left wing, especially the cultural, educational and political elites, to entrain the American people to despise their nation, their laws, and themselves in order to break their self-respect and mentally enslave them to government control.  Few people can stand against the indoctrination and brainwashing that they have been exposed to all their lives.......[Trump was] the man who challenged their beliefs..... (Editor's Note:  There's much more, and worth reading. RK)

I thought her use of the word entrain was a mistake but it means to put aboard a train, and that's what the left has been doing in America for almost 150 years, and they started by capturing public education.  After reading the article and then the comments I think it worthwhile to explain leftist/socialism in America didn't start out as an openly Marxist movement.

Socialism is foundationally atheistic, and in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that didn't fly in America, so they called themselves "progressives", and the driving force behind that was religion, what's now called the "progressive gospel", in effect claiming socialism was the practical application of the Christian ethic. 

They use our own values against us. Now everyone was to be everyone's bother and were responsible for each other and morally obligated to ___________fill in the blank, all of which would entail massive amounts of money confiscated from the American public and spent as they saw fit in order to expand government control over Americans lives.  Hence their need for the 16th Amendment, income tax, and the 17th Amendment ending how Senators were chosen by the states as de facto ambassadors to the central government, effectually overturning the 10th Amendment, the states rights amendment. With passage of the 17th Amendment, for all practical purposes, states rights ended. And finally the creation of the FED to take control of the currency out of the hands of Congress.  All done in 1913. 

After WWII the real powers behind this movement didn't need religion any longer and kicked them to the curb, and then the driving force was psychology. If you disagreed with what they were promoting, you were not only morally inadequate, you were insane, which is the same clabber they're promoting now.

So after almost 150 years of religious and social corruption condemning western civilization's moral and mental foundations it's a wonder we're now finally coming out of that miasma, and truth is coming to the fore.

Truth is the sublime convergence of history and reality. Everything we're told has a historical foundation and context, and everything we're told should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality. If it doesn't, it's wrong, and all that's left to do is develop the intellectual response to explain why it's wrong. And that's what's finally happening as a result of the internet and the rise of the alternative media.  

Having the truth exposed is why the Democrat party is in a downward swirl of failure, academia is being seriously challenged, which will become more pronounced in the coming years, heretical religious leaders are being openly questioned and abandoned, Europe's socialist governments are broke and collapsing, and the Pravda media is and swirling down the drain.

Here's What I Believe, What I Don't Believe, and The Fix

By Rich Kozlovich 

Editor's Note: I originally ran this on May 19, 2022, with a couple of comments worth viewing. For some reason it's been hit a lot in the last 48 hours, and as I re-read it I thought, given what's going on, this needed to be republished with some updates. Enjoy! RK 

The insanity I've seen displayed over the last sixty years years has been mind boggling. I wish I could have said things have improved.  While we have great technology and advancement, plenty of food, at least until now, good medical care, until now, and longer lives, we have to consider what's happening to the American culture.  Conclusion?  It hasn't improved.  I wish was completely wrong.  I'm not!  

Here are the things I believe. 

 

I believe the left hates Trump even when he does things they like, just like they hated Nixon, who promulgated more far left policies that impact our culture and economy than most 20th century presidents, including the EPA, OSHA and more, much more.  And they hated him.  Why?  Because he was an anti-communist, and that's what tells the tale about who the left really is.

 

The mental gymnastics leftists and RINO's must go though to criticize Trump, and conservatives, has been remarkable.  The media's irrational rantings have been so outrageous you can't help but laugh.  The lies, misdirection, logical fallacies Democrats spew out about conservatives is so obviously false I wonder how their mind became so twisted.  Whether they believe what they're saying it or not. 

 

I can honestly say I didn't like Trump yesterday, I don't like him today nor will I like him tomorrow, as a person.  When I say that to my conservative friends they respond:  Who does?  But we all agree, he's a leader!  And as President of the United States, I believe he may possibly be one of the greatest Presidents this nation has ever had, even with a split Presidency.

 

I believe the RINO's and Neo-Cons hate Trump because he wants to dismantle a system that's made they and their friends powerful and wealthy.  In that regard, the left and the RINO/Neo-Cons, are in harmony and explains why they've been so cozy hoping to even now destroy Trump in order to keep him from running for President again.  

This has exposed the RINO/Neo-Cons, like Liz Chaney and others, for who and what they are.   That will help define who and what the Republican party is and will be.  They're the reason the Republican party has been consistently called, and acted like, the Stupid Party.  

 

Here's what defines a Republican as a RINO. 

1. They are totally out of touch with their base.  A base that subscribe to traditional American Judaic/Christian values.
2. They're actually more in harmony with the Democrat left.  
3. They have no sense of loyalty or justice and are totally self-serving.
   
4. They take actions that are clearly detrimental to the nation for political or financial gain. 

There's a lot of talk about draining the swamp and fixing the Deep State, but that would take a lot more than rolling back a few liberal left wing initiatives.  It requires an entire restructuring of the liberal/leftist/progressive vision and central power governing structure, and the initiatives they've insidiously imposed on the nation through regulations, spending and taxes. That can't be done without restructuring government by eliminating whole departments of the federal government. 

To fix it you must shrink it, and that must be done on a massive scale, and that includes eliminating the Departments of Labor, Energy, Education, Commerce, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development and Transportation.  Combine Home Land Security and Veterans Departments with the Department of Defense.  Combine Agriculture and Interior.   Remember, the Post Office once was a Department, and now it's not, and it should be joined by those I've listed here, and that includes the frighteningly large number of agencies that work for those departments.   

 

Let's take the Department of Agriculture which is a massive and expensive self serving boondoggle.  A vast bureaucracy with a budget of some $130 billion.  That's larger than the farmer's net income.  It redistributes funds according to formulas created decades ago and is a massive hog trough of federal funding.

• $20 billion in various crop “supports” to the nation’s wealthiest farmers
• $5 billion in ethanol subsidies 
• Grants that amount to welfare to the wealthy, and food stamps to the poor.  

While the department does good things that need to be retained we have to recognize their real mission!  Mostly to provide cash to political constituents.  It needs purged. As it is now:

• Too many "Americans" think government is the answer and not the problem. 
• Too many Americans don't think they're Americans.
• Too many Americans hate America.
• Too many Americans are remarkably ignorant of American history.
• Too many Americans fail to realize how unique American style republican democracy is in all of world history.
• Too many Americans graduate from school semi-illiterate, and amazingly ignorant.
  
• Too many Americans graduate from college filled with false information and assumptions about how the world works, or should work, and are arrogant in their ignorance.
• Too many Americans no longer are people of faith, and as a result have no moral foundation other than the latest philosophical flavor of the day, and that's a foundation of shifting sand.
  

Is it any wonder society is being washed back and forth like waves crashing against the rocks to its destruction?  

Here's what I don't believe:

• I don’t believe Social Security will there for my children and it may not be there for me for much longer. Social Security was supposed to stop being self-funding by 2020 and bankrupt by 2030, and it will go bankrupt with the federal government owing the Social Security fund trillions of dollars they borrowed with non-redeemable bonds.  (Here's the  Summary of the 2021 Annual Reports, Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees)
  
• I don't believe our children and grandchildren will have a better life than we did.
• I don’t believe Medicare and Medicaid can survive the decade.
• I don’t believe crony capitalism will be less but more – especially since this pattern goes back to the Whiskey Act of 1791.
• I don’t believe those who left California because they made a mess of it won’t attempt to make a mess of the states they moved to. Currently residents of Democrat run states are fleeing in droves to Republican run states, but they're probably going to take the ideas that destroyed the states they're leaving and vote for them in the states they're moving to. 
  
• I don't believe spending billions will end poverty.  Colorado is a perfect example.
  
• I don't believe spending billions will fix homelessness.  California spent billions to fix homelessness and it only dropped one percent.  Even if those billions amounted to only "two billion that would come to 1.3 million to get one person off the street".
• I don't believe you can convince liberals their leftist philosophy has been the most irrational, misanthropic and morally defective belief system in all of world history.  In spite of the most recent and ongoing human disaster leftists imposed on Venezuela.  Millennials all want us to still "Feel the Bern."
• I don’t believe the national debt can be paid unless the government sells its assets - which amounts to 150 trillion dollars – and they won’t.
  
• I don't believe diversity and multiculturalism, is anything more than a leftist scheme to undermine and destroy the American identity, the American culture, the American economy and overturn the U.S. Constitution.   Diversity without accomplishment is incompetence without consequence. 
  
• I don't believe the world's economy is stable.  The unending amount of debt the world's nations has accumulated, and continues to accumulate, is going to cause a worldwide economic depression.
• I don't believe the EU can survive to 2025, but certainly by 2030. 
  
• I don't believe Europeans can tolerate the Muslim invasion much longer without civil war breaking out all over Europe if Europe wishes to be European.
  
• I don't believe the Middle East or anywhere in the world that's dominated by Islam is fixable.
• I don't believe Russia or China can withstand an international economic down turn, let alone a collapse.
• I don't believe a nation that abandoned the moral foundations that made them great can survive. 
• I don't believe large corporations are concerned about anything except the next quarterly report, and in no way will they support anything considered conservative, in their views, their actions or their philosophy, even if it impacts their profit margins. 
• I don't believe any of the problems listed above can be fixed until public education is fixed.
• I don't believe public education can be fixed until the federal government is forced out of it.  
• I don't believe public education can be fixed unless the states follow Governor Ron DeSantis' lead and pass legislation to teach the truth about communism and all the other leftist clabber.  
• I don’t believe academia can be purged of its far left Frankfurt School aficionados unless we stop funding these universities with taxpayer dollars and student loans. They can't be fixed until they have to become self supporting "for profit" institutions.
• I don't believe there is such a thing as man made climate change.
• I don't believe green activists aren't anything but dishonest, irrational, misanthropic and morally defective misfits.
  
• I don't believe spending can be brought under control without repealing the 16th Amendment. 
• I don't believe you can reduce corruption in government without repealing the 17th Amendment. 
• I don't believe the federal government can be fixed without passing a 28th Amendment creating term and age limits for Congress, and the federal judiciary, nor do I believe the judiciary will remember it's proper role until age and term limits are imposed.
• I don't believe government can be fixed without passage of a 29th Amendment creating sundown laws for all federal  departments, agencies, bureaus and any official agency of the federal government, and all federal laws and regulations, with the goal of reducing the size and scope of the federal government.

So what is it that I really believe?  I believe leftism is like rust.  It never sleeps.

Culture is King! Even When the Culture is Insane!

By Rich Kozlovich

For days I've read unending diatribes as to why Kamala lost the election, with a lot of excuses, and a lot of finger pointing.  I was Biden's fault because he didn't drop out soon enough, or even chose to run in the first place. It was George Clooney's  fault because....well.... I'm not quite sure why he was blamed, but the excuses, accusations, and finger pointing didn't end there. 

On Monday J.B. Shurk published this article, No Wake for the Woke saying:

Democrats will learn nothing from their electoral drubbing.  If they were capable of self-reflection and intellectual growth, they would not need “safe spaces” or social media platforms dedicated to mass censorship.  When you are so afraid of dissent that you feel psychologically compelled to label all contrary opinions as “hate speech,” you are not a fully functioning adult willing to process new information and adapt accordingly.... Democrat operatives tell their dwindling viewing audience that they lost the election because of “disinformation,” racism, and misogyny.  Americans are just too “stupid” and “deplorable” to be trusted with the vote.  The country is a MAGA junkyard filled with “garbage” human beings.  

And they think that was the perfect campaign?   The author goes on to say:

If anyone is to blame for her loss, the formaldehyde femmes explain, it is the news media.  “Journalists” should have used all their airtime reminding Americans that President Trump is “literally Hitler.”  You see, America, Democrats didn’t lose because they’re stark raving mad!  They lost because of bad “messaging”! 

Actually, the unending vilification of Trump was pretty much what the media did, .  But they just don't get it, and as strange as it seems, they seem to actually believe all the clabber they spew out.  Not only that, they're going to double down with what they believe is their '“winning” policy agenda!"

More illegal immigration, less crime control, more expensive energy, less drilling for oil, more spending and borrowing, more inflation, more DEI, more gender bending, a further diminished and capable military, more violations of constitutional rights by the DOJ, FBI, less secure retirement funding, and always remembering, .....censorship is free speech.  

So now what are we seeing from these people?

• The U.S. State Department decided to fund “therapy and listening sessions” for heartbroken employees (so much for the notion that our spies and diplomats are made of sterner stuff).  
• Stephen Colbert and other overpaid late-night “comedians” have turned their shows into group counseling services for damaged Democrats unable to accept Kamala Harris’s loss.  
• Meathead Rob Reiner, who confidently predicted Kamala’s victory on Election Day, is so distraught that he has checked himself into a mental health facility.  
• News organizations are so distressed over their loss of influence that overrated “journalists” take turns screaming at the public for having rejected their pro-Harris talking points.  
• Joy Reid and other mentally unstable hosts on MSNBC are warning Democrats to cut off communications with their Trump-supporting relatives.   
• Democrat teachers owing list of post-election incidents that includes terrorizing students
•  Democrat doctors threatening patients, 
• Democrat psychiatrists conspiring to harm Trump voters, Democrats working to bankrupt Trump-supporting businesses, 
• Democrats divorcing their Trump-voting spouses, 
• Democrats threatening or committing acts of violence against MAGA Americans.
  

He concludes his article by saying:

This much is certain: people this psychologically unstable are not survivors.  They cannot endure conflict.  Hell, they can’t even endure intellectual debate.  They need censorship and “safe spaces” to avoid melting into an emotional puddle.  Democrats will not control the future because they can barely control themselves. 

Hollywood is filled with people living in a hermetically sealed bug house.

• The Radicalization of the Democrat Party
• When Democrats lose vs. when Republicans lose 

DeNiro and other once-favored celebs are in serious need of psychological counseling, only the counselors are probably as troubled as they.  Dick Van Dyke would rather die than suffer another four years with Trump as President.  In years gone by he acknowledged he had, and possibly still has, a serious drinking problem.  It appears it's true, overindulgence in alcohol destroys brain cells. 

There are two characters I really want to highlight, I should say two nitwits, the Meathead, and Ellen DeGeneres.   Eric Utter posted this article, Meathead Wrestles With TDS quoting the self important Reiner:

“I have big decisions to make. For the good of myself, my family, and my country.”......“Ellen DeGeneres whom I have known a long time and is a beautiful and caring woman had the right idea. She obviously does not want to be a part of a place that is filled with hate, evil and fascism. Much respect to her for standing up to madness.”.....I have made the decision to take the next few days to check into a facility for peace and relaxation. No phones, social media, no trolls, just calmness to heal my pain.”

He's checking himself into a facility?  Sounds more like a mental institution filled with psychologically challenged people (Reiner's normal environment) surrounded by people in white coats administering emotion calming drugs.  To me this sounds more like all those around him did an intervention letting him know he sounds like he's losing his mind, as little as there may be there. 

Then there's Ellen DeGeneres who says she can't stand living in such a hateful fascist America under Trump any longer.  So, now they're living in England, a nation that will tax that 400 million she's worth massively.  Which is a good thing since a record number of millionaires are all set to flee Britain over looming labour tax raids.  And if she's under the impression she can shoot off her mouth there as she does here, then she's in for a visit from Britain's Thought Police.  Then of course there's this very real potential:

".....become victims of England’s burgeoning Muslim male extremist population which is sexually assaulting and stabbing women at an unprecedented rate. But doing so without hate, and in a non-evil and entirely antifascist way!"

Ya just gotta see the humor in that, but having said all that, I think Ellen should be congratulated and encouraged and get all of her celebrity friends to follow her.  And to really show us how seriously they all take this, they should all give up their American citizenship.

That'll fix us. 

Oh, I just had a thought.  Where will Ellen go next since Britain is getting ready to dump the recently.... very recently....... elected labour party, which stands for everything Ellen loves, when they elect a Trump of their own?

 

America's Most Seminal Years

By Rich Kozlovich 

First, many of the years before the 20th century were pivotal for the nation, especially the Civil War period and right after, because they were the foundational formative years creating a brand new nation that was unmistakably a grand republican experiment, with all the warts that go along with that.  Not a democracy, a republic.  Nothing like it ever occurred in human history before or since.  Not the Roman Republic, nor Greek Democracy, nor any other government.  American government was created from the bottom up, by the people, and for the people, so, rightly or wrongly, I'm bypassing those years and sticking to everything after the 19th century. 

If you ask people what year in American history was the most seminal in the 20th century you'll probably get a blank stare, and if they're college students there's no telling what kind of insanity they'll offer.  But some will choose dates that are meaningful, and most will get it wrong.  The correct answer is 1913!  Why?

In 1913 the federal government passed the 16th Amendment, income tax, the 17th Amendment, changing how Senators were chosen, and they created the FED.  Those actions are foundational to all the crises we're facing right now.   

The 16th Amendment created a system of legal extortion, and abuse by a thuggish out of control IRS, both of which grew massively over the years, and negatively impacting the nation's economy, and the 17th Amendment changed how senators were chosen.  Senators were supposed to be de facto ambassadors from the states to the central government representing the interests of their states, not the people, that was the job of the House of Representatives, which is why all tax bills must originate in the House.  The founders wanted Senators to be chosen by the state's governments to keep the central government from getting out of control, and we now see the consequences of both those Amendments.  

Both need repealed, and neither will be.  That leaves the FED which was created in 1913, and turned over to an unelected body control of the nation's economy.  Alexander W. Salter in his article, Why Fed Reform Could Be the Biggest Sleeper Issue of 2024 states:

The Fed’s institutional flaws and failures trashed its credibility. It’s time to rein in the central bank.

Quoting Joseph Sternberg he states:

“The next president will inherit a Federal Reserve staffed by economists — and their intellectual helpmates in academia — who still don’t fully understand what has happened over the past few years, let alone over the past few decades”...........

Salter goes on to say:

The Fed is a flawed institution at best, and a failed institution at worst. Sternberg suggests several reforms. While potentially helpful, none go far enough...........Sternberg laments Fed decision-makers’ “groupthink,” explained in part by the concentration of authority in the “Washington-based Board of Governors in thrall to the central bank’s research department.” The “Fed’s independence from the rest of the government” amplifies its irresponsibility. .... It “means politicians and voters can’t enforce accountability.” In other words, it’s a judge in its own cause. That’s unacceptable for anyone who cares about the rule of law.

Just like the IRS, out of control, and powers unto themselves.   

He then goes on to make suggestions for reform.  How about abolishment?  Also I don't agree with him on this issue of tariffs, and while tariffs can impact prices, they can also impact how governments act, like China.  And that's a part of the package all these economist refuse to understand.  One more thing.  If tariffs are so bad, then why do all these nations who decry American tariffs have them?  I'll tell you what, we'll come back to that.

Then came 1916, and Woodrow Wilson, America's first fascist President, was re-elected, a President who, just like Teddy Roosevelt, believed the Constitution was and impediment to human progress and became America's first fascist President "revolutionizing the way the federal government works creating the foundation for the modern administrative state."  We'll come back to that also. 

The next seminal year was 1928.  

Calvin Coolidge became President after Harding died.  He finished Harding's term and ran for his own in 1924.  Coolidge hated being President and refused to run in 1928 for his second term, and Hoover, who Coolidge thought was an idiot, was elected and whose failures led to FDR, the , and a massive expansion of Wilson's administrative state FDR called the New Deal, which wasn't new, nor was it a deal. 

Then Kennedy was elected via voter fraud in 1960, a failure as President, but who's assassination led to Johnson's Great Society programs which has been massively expensive and arguably a failure, all of which expanded government all the more.   This led to the 1968 election of Richard Nixon, who was one of the worst presidents to ever sit behind the Resolute Desk, with his passage of the The National Environmental Policy Act, the creation of the EPA, and a host of other abusive and economically suicidal regulations, but worst of all, was his opening China up to world trade, saving China from Mao's disastrous economy.  As a result China has thrived economically, and western civilization is now funding it's own demise. 

Everything else since then has been nothing more than variations of those themes, including Obama's election, until 2016 when Trump was elected, and he set things into motion that's rattled the entire political culture in America.  I'm not deliberately ignoring Reagan, but he was still facing a loyal opposition, Trump was, and is, facing a disloyal opposition called the Party of Treason, and 2024 may become the most seminal year of all in American history, and may be the end of America as we know it.

China's Economy is All Smoke and Mirrors

Maskirovka was the term used as a Russian doctrine of military deception. I has evolved as a doctrine to "mask" and deceive in every political endeavor.  Russia may have created it, but the Chinese have refined and mastered it.

 By Rich Kozlovich

For years I've taken the position China's economy is all smoke and mirrors, and we're seeing that play out now, China's broke, and getting more broke.  The Biden administration is as nuts as was the Nixon administration. How hard is it to grasp that any financial stability accorded to China is funding our own destruction? 

If Trump wins, that will end. 

They've just closed thousands of restaurants in China as a result of their economic problems.   Central planning at it's worst!  A Maoist economic philosophy that failed when Mao was alive, and will fail with Xi as China's Maoist emperor. His military isn't like Mao's, it's a bit semi-independent, is filled with corruption and incompetence, he's afraid of them, so he doesn't dare cut their budget, and just as it did for the USSR, that will help bankrupt them.

There's all this talk about how many more ships China has now, but more ships is no longer the answer.  Drones and laser weaponry are now the answer, that's the wave of the future, so the more they spend on their navy the better, the sooner they go broke. 

Xi Jinping demands Communists bend international law to China’s will.  They've already   ignored decisions over control of the South China Sea.  China's penchant for bullying South East Asian nations is backfiring, and after Trump collapses their economy, these coalitions between Japan, who wants to improve maritime capabilities of four ASEAN States as a reslut of China's criminal actions in the South China Sea, which involves South Korea, and Vietnam, India.  Australia, is now committed to enhancing their naval presence in support of the Philippines against Chinese incursions.  

The  President of the  Philippines has decided transparency over their clashes with China will expose the criminal behavior of China, and their Coast Guard is "embedding local and international media in its patrols. In other cases, the Philippine coast guard itself has released photographs and videos of Chinese harassment, including of one notable incident in which a Chinese vessel directed a military-grade laser beam at a Philippine ship, temporarily blinding the crew."  All of which will put China in an untenable position, militarily and economically. 

China is demanding, '“Stronger consular protection” which is Chinese political code for complaining about foreign governments cracking down on Chinese espionage operations"', and they've even set up secret China police stations in America, and around the world, monitoring Chinese citizens claiming these "stations" were set up to provide services for Chinese citizens living abroad.  It's clear these are illegal international spy cells set up to intimidate these immigrants, and it's worked.

Stealing intellectual property rights especially involving "dual-use technologies such as quantum computing, big data, semiconductors, 5G, advanced nuclear technology, aerospace and artificial intelligence. It is developing or acquiring key technologies through investment in private industries, talent recruitment programs, academic research benefiting the military, intelligence gathering and outright theft. Crucially, the fusion approach enables more civilian entities to undertake classified military research and development as well as weapons production."  Not to mention spying on average Americans via the internet, to attain personal information, and there's a lot more.

Their demographics is a huge underrated problem, and it's not only involving age, it involved ethnics. The ethnic Han dominate China, and the rest of the ethnics in China hate the Han, and both the Han and the other ethnics believe the government is illegitimate, though they believe it quietly. Due to their one child mandates, the abortion of girl children was massive creating a mismatch in the male/female adult population.  That's not the foundation for a happy society.

The "happiness factor" is ignored by governments because they don't have a clue what happiness means. The reason for that is happiness is as difficult to define as defining "fair". What's fair? Who wrote the Book of Fair? No one, and it's been my observation that fair is usually defined by who's ox is being gored. And that's pretty much the same for happiness.

While China's leaders are growing increasingly aware of the unhappiness permeating their  society, what they're doing to ameliorate the unrest is not only not been working, it's made it worse.  Purges and stricter laws are exacerbating the problem, and it's making people acutely aware of the weaknesses in the system and the lack of competence in the leaders, and the younger generation isn't impressed with slogans and speeches. 

Things that would have worked when their economy was in better shape won't work now, and now Xi and his myrmidons are clueless. 

Their internal market is crashing, so what do they do?    They pour money into Africa, to the "promised" tune of  $50.6 billion in Chinese loans, aid programs, and corporate investments for Africa over the next three year", money they don't have and may not be able to deliver on. They further promised to "open China's tightly controlled markets to 33 African nations and said China will bring at least 30 “green energy” projects to Africa, ostensibly creating a million jobs. Chinese infrastructure projects have a long history of reserving their best jobs for imported Chinese managers and professionals", and that's not going to set well with these African leaders, and the fact is Africa is an unstable mess, and that's not going to change. Africa is a bad investment

It's been stated China's loans to poor nations are a debt trap to force them to bend to China's will, and that is an absolutely accurate description.  But this is a double edged sword.  The problem for China is what happens, if or when, these nations default?  What can they do about it?  Not much, and then they'll be stuck with unrecoverable debt, to the tune of billions and billions of dollars they can't afford to lose.

On its tenth anniversary, is China’s Belt and Road reaching the end of the road? January 13, 2024 Probably not, but China is discovering a lot more potholes than it anticipated and, from the American perspective, that’s not a bad thing....

China's has been consistently dropping prices on it's export products because they're in desperate need  of international buyers, and let's get this right. If they're not able to sell to America, they're doomed.  All this "deflation", and in China's case it's called "extended deflation",  causes "real estate slumps, stock market downturns, loss of investor confidence, weaker exports, less consumer demand, and China is already suffering from excess supply and insufficient demand, causing serious financial strain.........Reversing the trend becomes more difficult the longer it lasts. "  

It's not going to reverse, China's economy is heading into the toilet, even if Trump isn't elected, and if anyone has any doubts, take a look at what they did to Hong Kong.  That's China, you may wish to review

Now, having said that, does anyone besides me see that same kind of pattern of "real estate collapse, stock market downturns, loss of investor confidence, loss of consumer demand, and massive financial strain" playing out in America?  

This is a video everyone needs to watch, and make no mistake, America, we have a problem!

Into the Maelstrom

By Rich Kozlovich 

 

A maelstrom in the real world is a destructive whirlpool that draws everything into it.   Societal maelstroms are also real. They are destructive whirlpools of confusion and violence, and that's where western civilization is heading. 

Daniel Greenfield is one of the best writers in America today, and he graciously allows me to publish any article he posts on his Sultan Knish Blog, to which I recommend everyone subscribe, it's free.

Today I posted this piece, An Iron Curtain is Descending On Us, where he outlines and defines what's actually happening before our very eyes saying: 

Over the last five years, American, British, Canadian and Brazilian governments unleashed unprecedented waves of repression against political opponents using martial law, military occupations of major cities, government censorship of the internet, nationwide manhunts, televised raids and extended detentions without trial. Most of those arrested were guilty of political speech and protests generally far less violent than leftist riots by regime supporters.

 He goes on to outline events where left wing and/or Muslim rioters are treated with kid gloves and those who are exercising their legitimate rights to protest are terrorized, criminalized, and crushed under the heal of treasonous regimes "to save democracy". 

If there ever was a more concise, clearer article defining what's befalling western civilization published before this, I've not seen it.  Here's the link to the original, pass it along. 

This is an article that needs the broadest distribution possible. The world's western culture and nations are at war with Islam, and themselves. Western Europe is lost, and it's not coming back. Eastern Europe may survive for a while, but with the collapse of the EU in the very near future, that will be hard to see, however that may trigger a convergence of Eastern Europe and Russia as the solution for them to just survive against Europe's Islamic invasion. 

According to historians who write about historical cycles we're now at the end of one of those cycles, and all end cycles are violent, and economically disastrous.

We're heading into the maelstrom, and spewing out all the this "Islamophobia" horsepucky that's being spread around by so many in the west is nothing more than  a weapon to silence Europeans and compel them to accept a cultural invasion that threatens the very fabric of their societies".  This is the kind of insanity that's driving us into the maelstrom of cultural disaster.   

Western Europe is lost, and it's not coming back. Eastern Europe may survive, but with EU's collapse on the near horizon, that may not be possible, and who knows, it may even trigger a convergence between Eastern Europe and Russia in order to just survive against all the jihad insanity, as even Russia at some point is going to have problems with their Muslim population. 

France is being burnt down, and as a result of Islam’s centuries old war against Christianity, France on the brink of collapse:

France stands at the precipice, as Islam’s 14-century war against Christianity now threatens to unravel the very foundations of Western civilization—through force, deception, and demographic conquest, the final battle for Europe’s soul is at hand. Islam’s war against Christianity is not a new phenomenon. It is a war that has spanned 14 centuries—a relentless campaign driven by religious conquest with the end goal of subjugating Christians and all non-Muslims under sharia (Islamic law). 

The world, mainly Europe—and France in particular—has yet to truly grasp the magnitude of this war despite its own history of defending itself against Islam, as exemplified by Charles Martel. For centuries, Muslims have employed force, deceit, and cunning strategies to impose their will. The West, blinded by political correctness and moral relativism, refuses to see this war for what it is: an existential threat to the very fabric of its civilization.

Muslim violence is a plague in France, and for that matter, anywhere Muslims are dominant, violence follows like Sancho Panza followed Don Quixote, a mad man.  Leftist insanity has flooded Europe with Muslim fanatics and even the German police are now.... finally.... publicly saying because of this Muslim invasion, Germany is not longer safe!  In Switzerland a Green Party leader who just  happens to be Muslim passes her time by taking target practice shooting at a large picture of Mary and Baby Jesus.  She was so proud of her accuracy, she posted photos of it on Instagram.  

Now Germany is deporting Afghans, and they're "considering" deporting migrants to Rwanda, but that's not anywhere near a strong enough a response to save Germany.  One school in Belgium has made Arabic mandatory.   Two Moroccan migrants raped a young man and made him scream, "Long Live Morocco."  I wonder if he had to say it in Arabic?  There's a mixed bag on what's to happen to these two pieces of trash, but make no mistake, any punishment, if any, will be light.

When did they lose their sanity?  Muslims don't want to integrate, and these foolish people are supporting that mentality, which is suicidal for Europe.  Multicultural Europe is a disaster, worse than the Titanic, and the "leaders" of these western nations have been deliberately, and insanely, driving Europe into the iceberg. 

In America an army of '30,000+ Muslims' march through the streets of "Dearborn, Michigan, led by a radical Imam, reveals the unchecked spread of Sharia, the alarming alliance between local authorities and radical elements, and the growing threat of Islamic supremacism, all under the guise of a so-called ‘peace’ rally on American soil."  This isn't any kind of religious celebration, nor it is about peace, it's a threat, and it's a deliberate threat to America, and their concept of peace is everyone bows down to Allah..... or else!

We're facing a suicidal whirlpool of destruction, and the leaders of these ships of state are deliberately being steered directly into the maelstrom.  We really do need to get that.

Illegal Aliens, Gun Control, National Security, and Treason

By Rich Kozlovich

Editor's Note:  I ran this on August 30, but so much more is happening and I've added some important additions, all of which I wish to highlight. RK

On August 29, 2024  Olivia Murray posted this article, Armed with heavy firepower, Venezuelan gang of illegals seizes control of entire apartment complex in Aurora, CO, containing a video showing these young thugs, here illegally, brandishing weapons doing whatever they pleased, and clearly having no fear about doing it.   And they're doing it in a state that has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation.  

If that's true, and it is, how did these illegal aliens get these weapons? 

One thing is clear, the argument by Second Amendment supporters that when guns are prohibited only criminals will have guns is blatantly true.  That has been obvious for so long it shouldn't have to be repeated, but the left still trumpets gun control, which for them ultimately means banning guns.  That is a foundational tenet of leftist ideology.   Why? 

Because the "self-appointed morally superior left  is behind the tyrannies of multiculturalism", and leftists hate America, and Americans!  

Overturning the Second Amendment puts honest citizens at the mercy of the state.  Then obedience follows, and soon there's tyranny with all the power being held by a smaller and smaller number of people in a very short time.  

People who can no longer be voted out of office, just like Maduro in Venezuela.  And none dare call it treason any longer!  The ‘party of freedom’ has an odd view of what freedom means, and the Pravda media supports them.

She goes on to ask:

Is Aurora, Colorado home to our first official “no-go” zone? ......The video was shot in the building where Cindy and Edward Romero lived until Wednesday. FOX31 caught up with them as they loaded up their stuff and moved out.  ‘It’s been a nightmare and I can’t wait to get out of here,’ former resident Cindy Romero said......The Romeros say the trouble started when a large number of migrants began moving in.

How did this happen?

[M]ore than $380 million worth of Shelter and Services Program (SSP) grants will go to local and state governments, as well as NGOs, ‘that are providing critical support such as food, shelter, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation’ to migrants ‘recently released from DHS custody and awaiting their immigration court proceedings.’

This spending comes after Biden-Harris funneled $780 million just last year, and just through two channels (SSP and the Emergency Food and Shelter Program). How much spending is going on elsewhere? (Hint: It’s in the hundreds of billions.) Remember what Representative Jodey Arrington revealed earlier this year? From a Budget Committee press release:

‘The greatest national security threat to the American people is posed by these open borders. The social cost has consistently been well in front of the American people. But I don’t think we’ve talked enough about the financial burden to taxpayers and the fiscal impact.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has done a great job. Studies suggest this [illegal migrant] cost is upwards of $400 billion, but their cost estimate is $150 billion. The lion’s share of that cost is borne by state and local governments. State and local governments can't borrow or print money like the federal government, so they have to balance their budgets by either absorbing this cost through raising taxes or they have to cut services to their citizens.’

It's bad enough these illegal aliens are here in the first place, but they're not only eating up our resources, they're turning the nation into mini criminal states within the states and the federal government is funding it.  

One commenter states, "we live in a bipolar world. Normal people want these thugs arrested and deported. Democrats want to make sure they’re registered to vote. It’s nuts." Democrats Are Freaking Out Over Republicans' Efforts to Stop Illegal Aliens From Voting

All of which was entirely predictable, and we really need to get this.  The Constitution wasn't meant to be a suicide pact, and the founding fathers never dreamed there would be a political party dedicated to the destruction of the nation.    

Now we find out this is part of an international criminal gang that Venezuela's Maduro created.  This was in point of fact a military takeover of these apartments, so the question that needs to be asked and answered is where are the SWAT Teams, or the Colorado National Guard?  Apparently no one has called for them and the Mayor says he loves all these illegals.  I guess this is what "Tim Walz might just consider this “neighborly” behavior."

Update:  9/2/24: CO Mayor Asks for Eviction of Venezuelan Migrant Gang, Gov. Polis Dismisses Problem - Aurora, Colorado, officials are asking the courts to let them evict Venezuelan migrant gangs from apartment buildings, even as Democrat Gov. Jared Polis keeps dismissing video reports of gang takeovers.  Only two days ago, Polis and his spokespeople were telling Americans to ignore their lying eyes concerning video of armed migrant gangs taking over apartment buildings and forcing citizens to turn their rent money over to the gang.

Illegal Alien Gang Takeover of Apartment Buildings in Aurora Is Just a Small Taste of the Chaos to Be Unleashed Against Americans - Most Americans have no idea what’s coming when the invasion forces that have already penetrated and occupied America are given the “purge” activation order to exterminate and replace American citizens. The gang takeover of the apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado is just a tiny taste of things to come. Note carefully that nobody in Colorado law enforcement is lifting a finger to stop the gang invasion takeover. That have given the gangs total legal immunity, just like Big Pharma and vaccines....

Will Colorado fall under the spell of ranked choice voting? - Ranked choice voting is a bald-faced scam, and that is putting it politely. .............In Colorado — aka California East in some circles — ranked choice voting is just another tactic to enshrine Democrat oligarchic rule.  Will Colorado voters take yet another blue pill without asking what’s in it?...........

This is why the Constitution has a Second Amendment providing for and allowing citizens to organize and defend their communities as militias, but that requires a massive change in leadership at every level, otherwise it's called insurrection.  

This out of control criminal activity is rampant throughout the nation, in California illegals are setting wildfires out in San Diego's back country.   

 

 They set up campfires wherever they want. They set wildfires to attract border agents to pick them up and transport them to their destinations of choice. They burn down border vehicles because they don't like the Border Patrol. It's shocking what they will do whenever they want something, given the danger of the fire risk and just how big and catastrophic these fires can get once they get out of control. Sound like the kind of people who might rape and murder, too, once they go through catch-and-release?

And nobody in the Biden administration, let alone his border czar, are doing a thing about the border, not on the sea-side, where illegals ride in through the surf and run through the beachgoers' picnics and beach ball parties, as we have seen, and not on the badlands side where illegals set wildfires intentionally and apparently all of them get away with it.

In San Diego's back county, illegals attempt to hijack two school buses loaded with children - ......highlights just how dangerous Joe Biden's open borders are, what with wildfires started, attempted bus hijackings, beach invasions, rapes, robberies, kidnappings and murders, apartment takeovers (described today by AT Deputy Editor Olivia Murray here) and nobody held accountable for it......Nothing is being done, nothing at all, other than border czar Kamala Harris putting out ads claiming to be "tough" on the border. She actually in charge, though, and now this bottom has dropped out -- school kids unable to go to school by her vaunted yellow school buses because illegals come first.  Any comment from her on this outrageous development? Any media curiosity? Of course not

A nation's leaders are supposed to be the shepherds protecting the flock from the wolves.  These monsters are not only turning the wolves loose on the flock, they're protecting them, in effect the Democrat party is in reality no longer a political party, it's a criminal organization.  Since Kamala and the criminal organization she wants to be the head of is responsible for all this, why would we think they're going to fix it in the future?  

If this isn't treason, what is it?  

Crime Prevention Isn't Racism

By Rich Kozlovich 

For forty years I was an exterminator, which means running a route, so I spent a lot of time in my truck.  Radio degenerated, and got really tired of the music, and the talk shows with so many nitwits spouting off about things they clearly didn't understand. 

So I bought some great tapes from old radio shows, and books by Louis L'Amour.  Louis L'Amour loved the Texas Rangers.  One of them he talked about, who before he became a Ranger, was a horse rancher.   

Three men came onto his ranch and stole his horse herd taking off to Mexico with them.   His friends wanted to form a posse and go after them but he said they’d be in Mexico before that, so he took off after them alone.  He rode night and day until he caught up with them.  A shoot out entailed with him killing two of them and arrested the third. 

When he returned with the herd and told what happened, they asked where’s the prisoner?  He said since he’s been riding day and night he was exhausted and falling asleep in the saddle.  The rustler told him when he fell asleep he was going to kill him and take the herd to Mexico.  He realized the truth of that and decided he needed to find a way to secure him for the night so he could finally get some sleep, safely.

So he tied his hands behind him, put him on his horse, threw a rope over a tree branch tied it off and tied the other end around his neck, and went to sleep.  When he woke up in the morning he said wouldn’t you know it, that darned horse walked off and left him in the middle of the night.

Well, that’s not what happened.  He just hung the man.  They knew he hung the man.  And they didn’t care because they were going to hang the man anyway.   

So, what’s the moral of this story.  It’s important to know the difference between right and wrong, and what needs to be done about it.  

On August 31, 2024 Michael Letts posted this article, The politics of police defunding, saying: 

 

The “defund the police” campaign that started over four years ago has done catastrophic damage to our country.  In the wake of said campaign, a number of politicians -- including President Joe Biden -- have pushed for the removal of funds from police forces, diverting them elsewhere in an effort to “teach a lesson,” as it were.

 

Well....  shocker of shockers ..... crime is destroying those cities.  Imagine that, and Oakland, California's Chief of  Police Floyd Mitchell is asking for the public to help them.  

 

The public did help, they paid taxes, authorizing the hiring of tough men with guns to protect society, and gave them the power to enforce the law.   Let's not delude ourselves here.  Most of these cities are run by radical, race hustling, black Democrat politicians catering to the black criminal element claiming they're being arrested because of racism.  

 

If the public want's security, it first needs to dump the halfwits they put in charge, and state clearly these misfits are thugs being arrested for committing crimes, not racism. The problem isn't white racism, it's black culture. 

 

Eight monsters abducted, tortured, raped a young mother and then murdered her, and these monsters even videoed the whole vile event. Her name was Mahogany Jackson.  What did they have in common? They were all black. 

 

There are entirely too many people, black and white, who sympathize and justify what all  these black criminal thugs are doing!  Fortunately there are some prominent blacks who see this for what it is.  Sharika Soal addressed this horror by saying:  Stop Sympathizing With Black Criminals – It Harms Americans.  

Please review, Central Park Rape: The Secret File, and take some time to review my .  Also, Mychal Massie's commentary, If America is so bad, blacks – why stay?

So, if the citizens fail to take responsible action in cities like San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Portland, New Orleans, Baltimore, and all the other major cities in America the Democrats have destroyed, most of which are run by blacks, then...... schadenfreude.   Oh, yeah, I forgot, Chicago with some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Double schadenfreude!
