The Government Shouldn't Own Companies

By Rich Kozlovich

There's been a lot of talk by Trump talking up how the federal government took a 10% equity stake in Intel via an agreement "converting nearly $9 billion in previous federal grants into Intel stock to secure a "passive but enduring financial stake" and boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing."  

Passive financial stake?  Ya just gotta be kidden me.  This is the same government who under the Obama/Biden administrations bullied banks into debanking American citizens because of their political or religious views, and Trump was one of them they attacked. 

When was it ever determined grant money was intended to be converted into stock ownership?  Grants are gifts, and while considered an investment in the nation's future, they're still gifts, not financial investments, and unless there was an agreement to the contrary before granting that money, this is extortion. 

First, I've resented the billions and billions of dollars these bureaucrats threw away on grants to academia, NGO's, and private companies, mostly done to promote far left agendas.  But I really resent them giving money to private companies, in effect picking winners and losers, many of which became losers as did all those green energy companies Obama threw away billions when they went bankrupt. 

And I resent it more when the federal government becomes an owner in these companies, who will find ways to destroy those competing with them, and have no doubt, that's exactly what will happen, if not immediately, most certainly down the road, and the destruction of competition leads to complacency and a huge lack of innovation. 

Does anyone really believe the bureaucrat representing the federal government on their board of directors, and make no mistake, there will be an appointed bureaucrat on their board, won't be forcing political decisions versus financial decisions? 

Now we're finding the Pentagon wants to play the same game with defense contractors, and it's being called Trump’s right wing socialism, and I think rightly so.

For decades, the American right and the Republican Party held themselves up as the defenders of individual citizens, corporations, and state and local governments against intrusive control from Washington. But where Ronald Reagan joked that the nine most terrifying words in the English language were I’m from the government, and I’m here to help, Trump’s credo is “I’m from the government, and I’m here to take over.” The debate in America is no longer about whether socialism can gain a foothold. It’s whether the socialism that dominates will be progressive or right-wing.

Trump has said he would happily make the same kind of deal he made with Intel, "all day long",  and if he was making that kind of deal as a private businessman I'd laud him.  Making that kind of deal with private company, and wanting to do more of them is a dangerously slippery slope.    

Definition leads to clarity, and this is socialism, and it's dangerous. 

Intelligence and Morality Have Little in Common

By Rich Kozlovich

 

On August 25, 2025 Robert Weissberg posted this article at American Thinker, The Return of Eugenics, saying:

 

If one word is guaranteed to enrage the woke mob, it is eugenics, a term conjuring up images of Hitler, the Holocaust, white supremacy, and sterilizing the feeble-minded. Yet, despite the odium surrounding “eugenics,” it is, paradoxically, making a comeback thanks to medical advances, not the rise of right-wing ideology. Vast sums are currently being invested in firms to promote eugenics, but the term “eugenics” is never uttered. 

However, the real issue in his piece deals with breeding for intelligence.  

 

In contemporary American society, a strong mating preference exists for high intelligence among those in cognitively demanding fields. Here both men and women want high IQ spouses and given IQ’s high hereditability, their children will, on average, will be smart, and after a few generations, overall IQ levels will rise. .........The result is a plethora of smart children thanks to smart genes in both mother and father...........What are the prospects for a future Brave New World dystopia ruled by a genetically engineered super-smart elite?..............

Over the years I’ve spent a lot of time researching information on IQ, and the more I read the more I realized IQ, while important, is highly overrated.  Jayne Mansfield had an IQ of 165, Steven Hawking’s was alleged to have been 160.  

She was an actress much lauded and remembered for her sex appeal.  She was smart enough to know what she was offering had a limited time frame and she once said no matter what happens to her, her children, who adored her, would be taken care of.  Practical smarts goes a long way.

He was a much lauded scientist who made grand pronouncements for which he was lauded, and then proved wrong.  So, did it matter how smart he was?  Most importantly he started pontificating about social issues, and while when it came to physics, I didn't have a clue what he was talking about, but when he entered my arena dealing with social issues, history  and logic, I realized that was an arena where he was dumb as dirt.  That's not practical intelligence.

Einstein, who was considered the smartest man in the world, once said if all the honey bees died mankind would be dead in five years.  He was a brilliant physicist, but he was an idiot as an entomologist.  Most of our food isn't animal pollinated, it's wind pollinated, and if every honey bee on the planet died tomorrow, it would impact no more that four to six percent of our food... and even that's a maybe prediction.  So, did it matter how smart he was. 

I once asked the head of the EPA's pesticide regulation division why our honey bees are called European honey bees?  He didn't know, so I told him it was because European settlers brought them over from Europe.  Then I asked him how did everything get pollinated before that.  And he smiled realizing how foolish all these claims of disaster and honey bees really are.

Here’s the reality of selective breeding. If you have a highly intelligent population breeding in a small population you will get a lot of really intelligent children. If you continue to breed strictly within that population you will end up with a lot of negative genetic issues and a lot of sterility, the Pitcairn Islander story is one example.  

If you breed a lot of really intelligent people from different genetic groups you not only get a lot of really smart people, they're healthier and stronger, it's called hybrid vigor.   However, a former boss with a masters degree in genetics told me, for reasons no one really understands, and there's term in genetics for this which I can never remember, occasionally two really dumb people can produce a genius.  It's still a crap shoot.  

Having said that, make no mistake, gene editing is on the horizon, some of it will be beneficial, especially with dealing with autoimmune diseases, and some of it will not, since intelligence and morality have little in common. 

Calvin Coolidge was the greatest President of the 20th century, and yet few know much about him, which is unfortunate, and I really recommend reading Amity Schlae's book Coolidge.  He once stated:

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent".

And you can't really breed for that because culture is king, and each generation marinates in it's own culture often abandoning their parents culture.  It’s still a crap shoot.

Democrat Crime: It's Ubiquitous, Part VII

Squeal for a deal, that's the name of that tune

By Rich Kozlovich Tags: 

When it comes to contemptibility no one stands higher than the Clintons, they're been grifters, scammers and most likely are guilty of far worse deeds that can't be proven, and have been so for their entire working careers.  Let's take a look at the Clinton Foundation.

Bill Clinton started it in 2001 are raised over 2$ billion over the next 15 years, much of which came from powerful foreigners who wished to influence U.S. policy, which also could easily be considered quid pro quo bribery. And that provided "hundreds of millions of dollars to fund the Clinton's life style and staff".   More of which Daniel Greenfield exposes in his article The Clintons Welcome Trans Queens, Muslim Politicians, Foreign Oligarchs, saying the Clintons haven't changed, and no expected they would.  

Here's "The Essential List of the Clinton Foundation’s Most Questionable Foreign Donations!" 

Hillary Clinton did two huge favors for Morocco during her tenure as secretary of state while the Clinton Foundation accepted up to $28 million in donations from the country’s ruler, King Mohammed VI.......... Clinton and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Lisa Jackson tried to shut down the Florida-based Mosaic Company in 2011, operator of America’s largest phosphate mining facility, in order to benefit Mohammed VI.

 

The FBI, and of course the DOJ, knew there was Pay-To-Play evidence at Clinton Foundation,

going back to 2016, but Andrew McCabe ordered it halted.  In point of fact, multiple investigations into the Clintons were stonewalled.  Why?  

 

This article is explosive,  Newly Declassified Clinton Foundation Investigation Timeline Reveals How Obama’s DOJ and FBI Protected Hillary, Buried Evidence of Global Pay-to-Play, and Rigged Justice Against the American People.  All the while this corruption was going on they unendingly attacked Trump claiming he was the criminal.  

Now Hillary's prediction is about to unfold.  She said if Trump was elected in 2016 they'd all hang. It didn't happen then, and they got cocky shooting off their mouths, but now, the rope is tightening around their necks.   

Declassified FBI files expose 19 hidden Clinton Foundation bank accounts - The Department of Justice must take urgent action by subpoenaing the banks associated with the 19 accounts and conducting a thorough audit of all transactions linked to the sources of their deposits, payments, payees, and other connected accounts.  A detailed forensic audit could reveal critical evidence of tax evasion, bribery, and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).  Such findings could seriously jeopardize the Clinton Foundation’s non-profit status and lead to criminal investigations of those implicated.

I've been amazed at those around the Clintons, especially Hillary.  She's rude and nasty, and foul mouthed to everyone who happens to offend her, like servants in the White House who had to hid behind curtains because she never wanted to see them.  Or the way she cursed at and rudely treated the men and women who protect her in the Secret Service. 

So why do people stand by her?   These sycophants are blithering idiots who are over educated, under smart, self serving, immature, delusional and religious fanatics, only it's a secular religious cult with no solid moral or logical foundation other than a willingness to do anything to fulfill their unquenchable thirst and overwhelming desire for wealth and power, and she was the High Priestess of their cult   But her high priestess days are over, and so too are the days of followers in her cult.  

The trouble with corruption this big is it takes a lot of "little people" to pull it off.   As these investigations unfold the entire Obama/Biden/Clinton cabal cult is going to find the "little people" have no intention protecting them so they can live big life while they rot in prison.  

They're gonna squeal for a deal!  To quote Baretta:  "That's the name of that tune".

Events From Around the Nation

Arlington National Cemetery:  The Reconciliation (aka Confederate) Monument that was ridiculously removed from the Arlington National Cemetery in December 2023 will be returned to its pedestal by 2027. The statue’s removal was ordered by the “Naming Commission” proposed by Congress in 2021 to strip military bases of Confederate leader names. This was at the height of woke insanity. Here’s some history:

· Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia once belonged to Confederate General Robert E. Lee. After the Civil War, the property was deemed suitable for the final resting place of Union soldiers.

· Confederate soldiers were NOT allowed to be buried at Arlington. In 1900, Congress passed a bill designating a special area for their remains. 

· In 1906, United Daughters of the Confederacy sought to raise money to erect a memorial in the Confederate section. 

· THREE U.S. presidents endorsed the monument. 

· It was installed in 1914 and is located in the center of Section 16, where nearly 500 Confederate soldiers, sailors and civilians rest in peace.

Florida: Three innocent people died last week because an ILLEGAL ALIEN was given a California commercial driver’s license and made an illegal U-turn on a highway with an 80,000 pound, 18-wheeler. We would like to see Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issue an arrest warrant for California Governor Gavin Newsom.

California: Republicans are about 40 percent of the vote in California, but only have 17 percent of the congressmen in the U.S. House of Representatives. Governor Gavin Newsom wants there to be even fewer Republicans in the House! Click here to post your comment against Newsom’s plan to take redistricting from the independent commission. Proposition 50 will be on the November 4, 2025 ballot.

Texas: Contact Texas leadership and tell them their revised redistricting map should add MORE Republican districts!

Germany:  Renk is a German defense contractor with headquarters in Augsburg. The company wants to continue exports to Israel. The way they can bypass Germany’s antisemitic embargo to Israel would be by expanding to the United States. 

To share your thoughts with Renk CEO Alexander Sagal: Email: info@renk.com

Greece:  Has declared a “National Emergency” and ordered mass deportations of illegal aliens after seeing a surge of arrivals on the island of Crete. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced that Greece will suspend for three months the processing of asylum applications for immigrants arriving by sea from North Africa. He plans to ask Parliament to vote on this as an urgent amendment.

Israel: A so-called two-state solution is a suicide pact for Israel. Our US State Department, led by the outstanding Marco Rubio, has officially backed Israel’s E1 housing plan that links Jerusalem and Maale Adumim. The project will add nearly 7,000 housing units. What makes this important is that there can be no ridiculous two-state solution since the housing would block the territorial contiguity between Ramallah and Bethlehem. Yada-Yada-Yada, pro-Hamas leftists are calling this a threat to peace talks. Let’s be honest, if the Allies bombed Auschwitz during World War II, leftists would have called that a threat to peace talks.

The Most Important Election(s) of 2025

August 26, 2025 by Dan Mitchell @ International Liberty

Javier Milei has generated amazingly good results in just 20 months. But more reform is needed to undo the damage of 80 years of Peronism, which is why I explain that Argentina’s mid-term elections will be very important.

Milei wants to turn Argentina into the world’s freest economy. That won’t be possible so long as the left has de facto control of the nation’s legislature. So let’s examine the outlook for Milei and his party (La Libertad Avanza, or LLA) in the upcoming mid-term elections on October 26.

We’ll start with a look at Wikipedia’s summary of partisan divisions in both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies.  As you can see, Milei’s LLA party holds only a small fraction of the seats (16 percent in the Chamber of Deputies and 8 percent in the Senate).

But you can see that Milei and LLA have allies, particularly the PRO party (akin to establishment Republicans in that they sort of want to do what’s right but have a weak track record).

Unfortunately, the Peronists (known as either UP or Fuerza Patria) easily have the most seats, so Milei has very limited ability to get reforms through the legislature.

The bottom line is some of the big changes that are still needed, such as labor market liberalization and tax reform, will only happen if Milei and LLA do very well in the October mid-term elections.

In the Argentinian system, their Senate is like the U.S. Senate, with six-year terms and 1/3 of seats up for election every two years. The Argentinian Chamber of Deputies, unlike the U.S. House, has four-year terms and 1/2 of seats are up for election every two years.

Here is a breakdown of the seats held by various parties and how many are being contested this October. The key thing to notice is that Milei’s party (LLA) is defending very few seats while the Peronists (Fuerza Patria) are defending about half of their seats.

One final thing to understand is how members get elected.

Wikipedia has a good explanation.

• The 257 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected by proportional representation in 24 multi-member constituencies based on the provinces (plus the City of Buenos Aires). Seats are allocated…with a 3% electoral threshold. In the 2025 election, 127 of the 257 seats are up for renewal for a four-year term.
• The 72 members of the Senate are elected in the same 24 constituencies, with three seats in each. The party receiving the most votes in each constituency wins two seats, with the third seat awarded to the second-placed party. The 2025 elections will see one-third of senators renewed, with eight provinces electing three senators.

These rules mean that it is important for LLA to get the most votes in each province, particularly in the Senate since that automatically means winning two (out of three) seats.

I’ll close by defining victory for Milei.

Based on my conversations in Buenos Aires last week, the top goal is winning a plurality of votes. In other words, LLA doesn’t need a majority of votes (highly unlikely in a system of proportional representation), but Milei’s party needs to get more votes than the Peronists.

Next, it will be impossible for Milei and LLA to win a majority of legislative seats. However, they would be in a position to declare victory if they wind up controlling 1/3 of the Chamber of Deputies and can flip at least five Peronist-controlled Senate seats.

Those outcomes would not give Milei and LLA full control of the legislature, but at least there would be the possibility to work with independent legislators to advance a second stage of reforms.

And those outcomes would eliminate any risk of the Peronists having enough power to push their statist agenda.

P.S. I’m not ready to make any predictions, but I’m cautiously optimistic based on recent polling data along with the results from some regional elections earlier this year.

No One Is Above the Law

That's the six word Democrat mantra no Democrat will utter for the next three and a half years.

By Rich Kozlovich

 

On Monday August 24, 2025 Amy Curtis posted this piece, Chuck Todd: Don't Make Democrats Live by Their Own Lawfare Rules, saying:

Lefties, you were warned. We told you years ago -- before Donald Trump came down that escalator -- that using the government to harass the Democratic Party's political opponents would not end well ... for Democrats.

They didn't listen. Obama's IRS targeted conservative non-profits to throw the 2012 election. Both Obama and Biden used the federal government to attack pro-life businesses and protesters. And, of course, Democrats ran for office vowing to use their power to attack President Trump and throw him in prison.

'No one is above the law!' they screamed at us.  Now the Republicans are playing by the same rules, and the Democrats don't like it. Two days ago, Chuck Todd was whining about the FBI investigating John Bolton, and now he's back to whine some more about Democrats having to live under the rules they created:

So, what was it Todd said?

The virus killing democracy right now is this “two wrongs make a right” mindset. Revenge over principles...

Imagine that, revenge over principles, like the Democrats did for over eight years prosecuting people with made up crimes, like General Flynn who pleaded guilty because the legal costs were unbearable and they told him to plead guilty or they were going to go after his family. And when he pleaded guilty the left sneered, cheered, and rolled on the ground in laughter so pleased this legal fraud worked.  Are those the kind of principles Todd is talking about?

The difference is lawfare wasn't about enforcing the law, it was about creating crimes that didn't exist for political gain to destroy their adversaries.  Even if found not guilty, the process is the punishment, and that process is capable of bankrupting even wealthy people, as they tried to do to Trump.  

What the Trump team is doing is actually enforcing the law against crimes that really were committed.  That's not revenge, it's law enforcement, it's good government.  

The internet wasn't kind to Todd starting with Gregg Gutfeld who commented:

• @greggutfeld on Bolton FBI raid: “Some say it’s retribution, I say who cares. Don’t lecture me on timing of lawfare, don’t lecture me on politically motivated investigations. You guys invented this: you loved doing it to Trump.” 

Curtis says, cope and seethe, Chuckie. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. Now it's too late, and a number of others posted comments:

• We warned the left not to do this. We begged them not to weaponize the DOJ. We were ignored. You cheered it on. Now the right is using the rules that the left put in place. The chickens have indeed come home to roost.  If you had a problem with this can of worms being open you should have said something when it was being opened. Stop being a hypocrite.
• In your lifetime, has ANYTHING more harmful to Democracy happened than this: Prosecuting the eventual winner of the presidency in an obvious attempt to block the majority of Americans from electing their preferred candidate?
• What’s killing democracy is hard core far left partisan ideologues hosting television news shows while pretending to be unbiased and objective.
• Except no one on the Left ever said the lawfare against Trump was “wrong.” In fact, the Left incessantly cheered it all on while lecturing the country that “No one is above the law.” And now the hypocrisy from the Left is off the charts.
• The Republicans are playing by Democrat rules now. It's understandable that you're upset about that. They have 2016-2024 to make up for. In eight years we can discuss neutrality.
•  Being this stupid is a choice Chuck. Y'all aren't "losing" your audience so much as insulting their intelligence so much they turn on you.
• These people really thought they were going to be able to throw all the punches they could and then tap out when it was our turn. I can’t even figure out this mentality. Stupidity? Arrogance? Whatever it is, we’re at war now. You declared war. Now, war it is.
• This from actor Nick Searcy:  By the way, we are not a democracy, hypocrite. And you didn’t care when your side did it to us. So STFU.
• Show us where you called the lawfare against Trump “wrong.”
• The concept of "no one is above the law" was discarded rather quickly the night of November 5, 2024.
• The current virus is actually “the first wrong was fine but what’s happening now is a grave threat to democracy.”

Here's what's going on with the Bolton investigation thus far. John Bolton is being investigated for violations of the Espionage Act, and as Jim Jordan notes, the Bolton investigation ‘is not about political retribution, it's about accountability.

• John Bolton and the fall of the Banana Republicans

Accountability, and no one is above the law.  That's the Republican mantra for the next three and one half years, and if Vance is elected in 28, most likely for years go come, and that's what's triggered all this leftist outrage over Bolton.  The left is petrified.  They're asking themselves with fear and trembling.... 'who will be next'?  As  Monica Showalter says:

The swamp is being drained. And now that the first alligator has been taken out -- in the FBI raid on the home and office of Trump-hating former National Security official John Bolton, reportedly for mishandling state secrets -- the rest of them are sleeping with one eye open.......  They plotted against President Trump, and now they're finding that things didn't work out quite the way they thought they were going to work out.......

You have to know in their minds they're frantically working on a defensive strategy for when the FBI comes after them.  Should we cooperate, refuse to cooperate.... or how about this... I'll squeal for a deal?  And that's what the strategy will be for a lot of the "little people" who have no desire to go to prison so those higher up on the food chain can keep living the high life free and easy.  

• Says Walter Giardina ‘Not a Martyr’: ‘Set in Motion the Whole Ball of Wax’  
• John Bolton Should Lawyer Up: Michael Cohen Predicts Indictment Incoming 

Jack Hellner says the Washington Post is clutching its pearls citing a piece from WaPo saying the FBI raid targeting Bolton crosses a line in the Trump revenge campaign.  Jack called them hypocrites over what they approved of over the years:

Calling bad actors like Merrick Garland, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Andy McCabe, James Comey, among other corrupt leftists independent and non partisan.  The corrupt investigation over the Russian collusion, the lies by the FBI to the FISA court, the illegal spying on Trump, the failure to prosecute lying to Congress, and there was a lot of that,  the illegal activities of the FBI persecuting conservatives, destroying documents, Obama ordering the Justice Department to drop charges against drug-running terrorists to appease Iran, didn't phase them at all.

They didn't mind the Obama/Biden administration going after parents, Catholics, peaceful pro-life protesters while ignoring violent acts on crisis pregnancy centers and churches.

It never once bothered them the Justice Department failed to act on the illegal activities of the Clinton and the Biden crime families, even providing cover for those crimes, while lauding the FBI's raid on Trump's home, and states illegally and deliberately ignoring immigration laws.   

Not one bit of that bother them one iota, but the Bolton raid just crossed way over the line.  Imagine that.   The fact is no matter what the Trump DOJ does it will be called political revenge, retribution, and a threat to Democracy.  The new mantra of the Democrat party, but it will not be, "no one is above the law".  The fact is the Obama/Biden/Clinton cabal have committed crimes, a lot of them, and the charges against them will not be lawfare, it will be law enforcement, and there will be unimpeachable documentation to prove it. 

Democrat Crime: It's Ubiquitous, Part VI

By Rich Kozlovich

For eight years we watched in amazement as a corrupt Democrat House of Representatives impeached Donald Trump, corrupt prosecutors and corrupt judges attacked Donald Trump and many of those who supported him.   They tried to destroy his business, strip him of hundreds of million of dollars, put him in jail, accuse him of rape, all the while ignoring the law and forbidding evidence showing his innocence to be presented at trial.   If they can do that to Donald Trump, they can do that to anyone, and that was the message they wanted sent.  Defy us and we will destroy you.  

All of which was a criminal conspiracy to deprive Trump of his civil rights to prevent him from running for President in 2024.  And now we know that's not a conspiracy theory, it was a conspiracy, and a crime.  There were four criminal cases in an attempt to jail him and two attempting to bankrupt him, and now now we know it was a criminal conspiracy, worthy of a RICO investigation.

The Joe Biden White House orchestrated the lawfare against President Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2024 election, hoping to jail or bankrupt the Republican standard bearer in order to prevent him from becoming president of the United States. The fact-pattern that I establish in my new book, Breaking the Law: Exposing the Weaponization of America’s Legal System Against Donald Trump, reveals a vast conspiracy to use lawfare to rig the race by engaging in an unprecedented level of coordination across branches of government, Democrat power structures, and the White House itself.

Their plan was simple and devious: If they could not stop Trump at the ballot box, they would stop him in the courtroom. Biden gave it away in a candid moment in October 2024: “We gotta lock him up.” (Trump used similar language about Hillary Clinton, but only as campaign rhetoric when his power over the country’s legal infrastructure was nonexistent). It was a widely held belief in Biden’s inner circle that Trump would be in prison before election day 2024. It was just a matter of making sure he got there.

Marlow's book exposes a scandal ten times worse than Watergate.  The evidence is overwhelming and there must be consequences for this criminal behavior.

• Eight Reasons I Called for the Prosecution of Letitia James for Conspiracy Against Trump’s Civil Rights Ahead of DOJ Bombshell

• Buying Our Democracy: Meet the Billionaire Leftists Behind the Lawfare Chaos
• Investigation Season: Why the DOJ Should Investigate Judge Juan Merchan Next
• Time for DOJ to Investigate Lewis Kaplan, the Judge Who Threatened to Jail Alina Habba

 

The information in Marlow's book was efforts by him over the past year, all of these cases were improper, and all of them need investigated, all of the investigation will find criminal activity, all of these investigations will justify bringing prosecution to bear.  Marlowe has a list, and I think it will ultimately end up being a very short list leading to a lot more people up the food chain.

1. Reid Hoffman: The Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman bankrolled E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit against Donald Trump.
2. Judge Lewis Kaplan: Judge Kaplan, no relation to Roberta, showed obvious favoritism and impartiality during the Carroll trial.
3. Alvin Bragg and Matthew Colangelo: New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg campaigned for office on the premise that he would pursue and prosecute Donald Trump. 
4. Nathan Wade and Fani Willis:  On November 18, right around when Colangelo would have put in his two weeks notice to the DOJ, Nathan Wade, prosecutor for and boyfriend of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, was at the White House meeting with counsel for eight hours.
5. Jeff DiSantis: DiSantis, a former Biden White House aide was poised to be the Matthew Colangelo of the Georgia RICO case, the wringer brought back from Washington to try to win the case.
6. Lisa Monaco, Vanita Gupta, and Merrick Garland: U.S. Attorney General Garland appointed the deeply partisan Jack Smith to an unconstitutional job as Special Counsel, which lead to 18 months of harassment of Trump in the middle of campaign season. This was blatant extra-legal election meddling.
7. Andrew Weissmann: Interestingly, Trump theorized in conversation that even above Monaco in the actual hierarchy of Biden’s DOJ is Andrew Weissmann.
8. Allison Greenfield: Greenfield was Judge Arthur Engoron’s top clerk when he presided over Tish James’s civil fraud case against Trump.
9. Joe Biden: The Joe Biden White House orchestrated the lawfare against President Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2024 election, hoping to jail or bankrupt the Republican standard bearer in order to prevent him from becoming president of the United States.

As I said, this is in my view a short list, the "little people" who will ultimately lead to the top of that criminal chain.  The House Oversight Committee is compelling the following individuals to appear for depositions through issued subpoenas:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: October 9
Former President Bill Clinton: October 14
Former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland: October 2
Former FBI Director James Comey: October 7
Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr: August 18
Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales: August 26
Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions: August 28
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller: September 2
Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch: September 9
Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder: September 30

The DOJ has created a U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC), manned by people who specialize in these kinds of investigations.  If this is to end, then justice must be served, and people must end up in prison, and not the "little people", this investigation needs to go after the creators of this scandal, Obama, Biden, and Hillary, and all those who facilitated their crimes.  

No one is above the law!

The Ongoing Tragedy of Cuban Socialism

August 25, 2025 by Dan Mitchell @ International Liberty 

I’ve written several articles about the failure of Cuban socialism (2024, 2022, 2021, 2019, and 2016).  My leftist friends almost always respond by claiming that U.S.-imposed trade restrictions are the primary reason for Cuba’s terrible economy.

Since I like free trade, I certainly agree that trade restrictions are bad for growth (a lesson I wish Trump would learn). But I’ve always assumed – given socialism’s terrible track record – that the U.S. embargo has not been a big factor in Cuba’s economic malaise.

Editor's Note: Dan Mitchell has great information, but Dan is a Libertarian and beats this free trade drum unendingly, but that's a delusion.  Free trade ends up being free to the world and costly to America, as Trump's tariffs are fixing and proving to be the right thing to do.  I do wish that was a lesson Dan would learn. RK) 

It appears my assumption was correct. Here’s a chart showing Cuba’s economic performance compared to what would have happened under different scenarios.

The chart comes from a new scholarly study by three economists (João Pedro Bastos, Vincent Geloso, and Jamie Bologna Pavlik).

They crunched the data a found that Cuba’s experiment with socialism has been a disaster, with per-capita GDP barely half as high as it would have been without Castro.

They also found that U.S. embargo has had a very small impact.

Here are excerpts from their research.

 

The dashed red line represents the counterfactual Cuba — that is, Cuba without the Revolution, the U.S. trade embargo, or Soviet aid. The orange line shows the “conventional” data, while the green line depicts the corrected estimates… As shown, under the corrected series, Cuban GDP per capita is 46.7% below the counterfactual by 1975 and 44.3% below by 1989… 

The blue line in Figure 1, which removes the effect of Soviet subsidies, shows that by 1975 Cuban GDP is 52.1% below the counterfactual, and by 1989 the gap is 55.4%. These figures reflect the combined impact of the Revolution and the U.S. trade embargo (net of Soviet Aid which amounted generally to 20% of GDP).  This leaves only the issue of isolating the effect of the US trade embargo. … 

Here we use three sets of trade data (i.e., total trade in the form of exports plus imports) to create a range of estimates. …We adjust the GDP number to work in the lost trade and find that GDP per capita would have been 3.3% higher without the embargo– accounting for a trivial portion of the Revolution’s effect.

Sadly, the economic cost of Cuban socialism is still with us.

Let’s look at some passages from a recent column by Mary Anastasia O’Grady in the Wall Street Journal.

 

Cuba’s communist dictatorship is broke and seems to have run out of suckers who might lend it more. This month we learned that it’s turned to confiscating dollars and euros from foreign businesses on the island. …going after corporate profits is like hanging a “closed” sign on the moribund economy. …medicine, housing and fuel are in short supply. 

Inflation is galloping. Parents find it hard to feed their children. In September the government cut back bread rations to 60 grams a day from 80 grams. …it cannot provide even a skimpy list of staples. …The infrastructure, from roads to electricity, has collapsed. One demographer estimates 18% of the population emigrated between 2022 and 2023. 

Those left behind stare into an abyss of hopelessness. …Havana wants to blame its poverty on the U.S. embargo. But Cuba’s dismal track record with sovereign lenders and the private sector goes a lot further in explaining why capital steers clear of the island.

Even CNN has noticed the economic carnage.

Here are excerpts from a report by Gonzalo Zegarra.

 

The smell of garbage is overwhelming and intense under the Caribbean sun. The accumulated waste is such that an entire street in Havana, far from its tourist district, was blocked to traffic. Yet garbage collectors here aren’t on strike; they simply don’t come often enough. 

It’s just another example of Cuba’s decline over the past year, alongside blackouts and water cuts… The Unión Eléctrica de Cuba, part of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, reports daily about the energy deficit between supply and demand on its social media pages. It is already common for simultaneous blackouts to cover over 40% of the country…  

This week, a group of residents blocked the streets of Havana for hours to protest the lack of drinking water. …“Cuba has a collapsed productive sector, meaning it faces a serious problem of supply shortages,” De Miranda said. …The availability of subsidized food has decreased in recent months.

I want to close by updating a chart I first shared back in 2010.

It uses the Maddison data to compared Chile and Cuba. As you can see, Chile leapt way ahead after shifting to free markets about 50 years ago.

Cuba, by contrast, has endured anemic economic performance.

P.S. On the issue of long-run economic performance, I have a column comparing Taiwan and Cuba and two columns (here and here) comparing Hong Kong and Cuba.

P.P.S. Folks on the left are very sensitive about being accused of being Cuba apologists, My advice to them is to stop being pimps for Cuba (see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here).

No There Is Not A "Genocide" In Gaza

August 24, 2025/ Francis Menton @ Manhattan Contrarian

The accusation that Israel is committing a “genocide” in Gaza has become pervasive on the Left, and particularly in academia. I think that the accusation is absurd, so much so that until now I haven’t thought it worthy of a response. However, the accusation has recently arrived on my own website. In the comment thread on the prior post, one of the commenters (regular readers can guess who) has leveled against President Trump the charge that he “is sending weapons to Israel for the genocide in Gaza.” Really? It’s time for a response.

In my opinion, what’s going on in Gaza is not a genocide, but a war. Deaths in war are not a genocide. On October 7, 2023, the governing entity of Gaza, Hamas, conducted an unprovoked attack on Israel, killing approximately 1,200 people, and taking some 250 hostages. Israel has responded with a military action. This is a classic war. The norm in war is that the parties fight until one of the parties surrenders, or there is an armistice. When the parties are fighting, the whole idea is to kill as many of the enemy as possible. Hamas could end the war by surrendering. It has not done so. Moreover, it continues to hold hostages. Therefore, the normal expectation of war would be that Israel will continue to kill as many of the enemy as possible until there is a surrender.

You may disagree with my characterization that the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel was “unprovoked.” It doesn’t matter. Assume that the attack was provoked. This is still a war. In war, it is entirely the norm that a party that has been attacked tries to kill as many of the enemy as it can until the enemy surrenders.

Is there any other example of the term “genocide” being applied to a full-scale military response to an armed attack by an enemy state actor that has not surrendered? If there is, I don’t know of it.

Consider, for example, the Russia/Ukraine war. In this case I would say that Russia’s attack and invasion were unprovoked. The Russian version of events of course differs, and accuses the Ukrainians of provocations that caused the conflict. But again, even if Russia’s invasion was completely unprovoked, the conflict is still a war between enemy state actors, where neither has surrendered. Unlike Israel, which makes extensive efforts to minimize civilian casualties, Russia regularly sends drones to bomb civilian targets and residential buildings in Ukrainian cities. But does anyone call Russia’s conduct toward Ukraine a “genocide”? Not that I’ve seen. Contrast this with the conduct of the Soviet Union toward Ukraine in the 1930s, when it imposed an intentional famine in which millions of innocents starved to death. There was no war going on; Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. That was a genocide.

Or consider World War II. Today that conflict is quickly fading out of living human memory. But it provides some obvious guideposts to distinguish between “genocide” and deaths from combat in war.

During World War II, Hitler and his minions engineered the deaths of some 6 million Jews and others, selected largely by racial and ethnic criteria, who were noncombatants and residents of either Germany or conquered territories. That is the classic “genocide.”

But there were far more deaths from fighting in the war. Here is a quote from a famous speech given by U.S. General George Patton to the Sixth Armored Division of the U.S. army (under his command) on May 31, 1944 (a few days before D-Day and the Normandy beach invasion):

We’ll win this war, but we’ll win it only by fighting and showing the Germans that we’ve got more guts than they have or ever will have. We’re not just going to shoot the bastards, we’re going to rip out their living god.....ed guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We’re going to murder those lousy Hun cocksuckers by the bushel-f.....g-basket.

(Quoted in Michael Walsh’s recent book A Rage to Conquer.)

In other words, with a war going on, we are going to kill the enemy, and as effectively as possible. And Patton was only talking about killing enemy soldiers. The U.S. and allied war effort was by no means limited to killing soldiers. For example, in 1943 and 1944 the U.S. and England carried out saturation bombing campaigns directed at German cities like Dresden, Bremen, Essen and even Berlin itself. There were many military targets, but these campaigns essentially leveled the cities, with very large numbers of civilian casualties. Indeed, a large part of the reason for these campaigns was the attempt to undermine civilian support for the Nazi regime. Nobody thought that the U.S. or England were under any obligation to deliver food aid to the suffering German civilians.

And then there were the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed in these bombings. Shortly thereafter, Japan surrendered unconditionally, at which point the indiscriminate killings ended immediately.

I have no idea how it is that new rules seem to have emerged, applicable only to Israel (or maybe to only Israel and the United States) whereby any civilian casualties in war are now deemed “genocide.” The use of the term seems to be directed at appealing to soft-minded and historically ignorant students and academics in Western countries. But endless repetition of an inapplicable term cannot change a classic war into something else.

Hamas can end the deaths in Gaza by the simple expedient of unconditional surrender. Until then, it can expect large numbers of deaths, many of them civilians.

Stop Highlighting Jasmine Crockett!

By Midwest Mom 

Editor's Note:    This is a from the commentaries in Robin's weekly newsletter Patriot Neighbors.   If you wish to get the full edition, E-mail her at PatriotNeighbors@yahoo.com to get on her list, it's free.  The media won't be focusing on Crockett much longer. She's been gerrymandered out of Congress in the 2026 election.  RK 

The media, especially right-leaning media, has to stop highlighting Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s racist comments! I just saw where Jazzasscrack (Crockett) spew another blatant outrageous racist lie. She took her hood off! Obviously, she really hates white people. Of course, she would comment on her own familiar behavior and her gang, homies, whatever.

ALL white people are not racist, black haters, eugenicists or predators. Some are. White trash like that still exist. Not ALL black people were slaves or victims either. I have heard ENOUGH of this black victim/white guilt crap.

I am not claiming terrible things have not happened to black or brown people at the hands of other races, especially white people just because of skin color. But terrible things have also happened to white people at the hands of non-whites! There ARE extreme black racists, and they're really showing their asses - and their overwhelming ignorance. No, stupidity - ignorance is not knowing, stupid is staying ignorant. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and other well-known black racists are the Black Klan! You know who the others are - the Press proudly displays their hate daily.

This is NOT a recent idea. I grew up a white, Catholic kid in the Midwest where the Klan was active in my grandparents’ day. The Klan hated Catholics in my town same as blacks. But I would have gotten a whipping or slap in the mouth if I had EVER said the “N” word. My parents and teachers drilled into us that kind of discrimination was wrong, a sin, worthy of hell!

I grew up with good black people who lived next door and were in my school classes. I worked with good black colleagues. We were all just people with shared interests and values. Race had nothing to do with it. At least it didn’t seem like it. But in the past couple of decades this country has been divided by people seeking power and money by creating chaos and division aided by their puppets in the media. Some are just flat-out LIARS who insist slavery was instituted by white, early Americans. FALSE!

White people didn’t grab and sell most of the Africans sold into slavery and shipped here. But don’t bother a racist with facts.

Slavery was going on thousands of years before. Even Jesus advised followers on the treatment of slaves! I’m fed up with jackass comments from grossly hateful vermin. They are every bit as nasty, rotten and disgusting as the KKK ilk, and they DO exist.

Racism is not limited to white people. The ugliest racists - of ANY color - have perpetuated such fear in too many people. White victims don’t DARE speak up any more than good Black people who could never engage in such racism. Rep. Crockett’s ‘hood’ comments are just vile, hateful, sinful and indicative of a vicious personality. Enough of this foul-mouthed garbage from her and her type. And the press and TV media would do better to ignore such infantile outbursts. Put her in time out!

Democrat Crime: It's Ubiquitous, Part V

What are the six words you will not hear a Democrat utter for the next three and a half years? No one is above the law!

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

Let's start with this foundational argument, 'Democrat' becoming synonymous with criminality, anti-Americanism.  The author goes on to say:

Democrats have a love-affair with criminals, violence, and vulgarity. Thus, they clearly favor illegal immigrants over citizens, criminals over the law-abiding, and chaos over the Constitution. The examples are legion, inexhaustible.

As you read this piece you have to wonder if they not all certifiable raging lunatics.  

One of the most contemptible "no one is above the law" Democrats to have ever lived, Adam Schiff.  It turns out the man nicknamed "pencil neck" has some skeletons in his closet.  He's being investigated by the Maryland Attorney General for mortgage fraud, which Andrea Widburg, a former practicing attorney, claims he may be in serious trouble, and the case should be easy to prove.  But she also points out this case has constitutional issues: 

The "Constitution mandates that, to sit in the House of Representatives, a person must be “an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.” (Const., Art. I, Sec. 2, Cl. 2.) You cannot be the representative from one state while claiming that your legal residence is in another. However, Adam Schiff, who has served as both a California representative (2001-2024) and senator (2024-today), is alleged to have stated that his primary residence was in Maryland while he was running for Congress in California.

But even though he's not in the House any longer if the courts find he violated the residency clause that would void his tenure in the house, and he would then lose his protections Congress members have under the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution.  Then all those he defamed could file defamation suits against him.  

This gets better everyday, as it turns out Schiff was leaking classified material to the media, an absolute violation of federal law, and the then Director of the FBI, Chris Wray knew about it and did nothing.  And the gifts just keep right on coming, now Shifty's leaks are being exposed by a whistleblower saying Schiff ordered his staff to leak classified information to try and destroy Trump.  Leaks he said were “unethical and treasonous.”   Sounds like this may even be a deprivation of rights violation.  

The FBI is in need of a purge that goes farther, deeper, and wider than it has as we're now told the FBI covered for Tim Walz and his China connections.  How can that not be considered treason? 

And the hits just keep right on coming.  

Another Democrat pleads guilty to $250 million carbon credit scam.  15 Democrats arrested for election fraud.  In Hamtramck, Michigan video footage shows a "man placing three thick stacks of absentee ballots into a drop box while Hamtramck City Councilman Abu Musa sat in the passenger seat of the car", and it appears this is the rule, not the exception in that city, and it also appears a whistleblower lawsuit for misconduct by city officials has triggered an investigation that could put council members in jeopardy of prosecution.  

A Democrat South Carolina Clerk of Court stole over $199,000 and even from child services funds.  And AOC organizer, Iman Abdul, was arrested for urging an attack on a public school attended by Jewish children.  Think what they consequences will be when Mamdani is elected Mayor of NYC. 

Excuses, they got excuses, lots and lots of excuses.  

Connecticut State Democrat Rep. Raghib Allie-Brennan was caught shoplifting .... twice.... and from the same Target store he was arrested at in June.  But if was just a big mistake.  He was "rushing to bring the items to his grandma in the hospital." And it's no big deal really, since he “been upfront about taking responsibility for my actions,”... and  “I’m taking accountability and look forward to continuing my work on behalf of our community.”.........“I am taking responsibility for all of my actions and participating in a program to address my behavior seriously and constructively,”.  It appears there's evidence these aren't the only times he's played fast and loose with other people's property.  BS from his attorney isn't a "reply to moral failure". 

Does anyone doubt Nancy Pelosi hasn't been involved in illegal insider investment schemes?  And Pelosi is just the tip of the iceberg of Democrat insider trading.   As Andrea Widburg reports:

Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, owns a small company called Financial Leasing Services, Inc. (estimated annual revenue $434,284) that bills itself as a real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm. Nancy Pelosi herself has spent the last 38 years as a federal employee. Her current salary is $174,000 per year. Nevertheless, Paul and Nancy Pelosi are estimated to be worth around $413 million, up from a “mere” $370 million just two years ago. This power couple’s wealth is almost magical. They are the living embodiment of the fact that, while Republicans get rich and then go into politics, Democrats go into politics and then get rich.

Gavin Newsom's moral pontifications are priceless.  You couldn't pay someone to be this stupid.  He's outraged ICE would raid his gerrymandering rally looking for illegal aliens, and it turns out a Newsom donor is grifting felon.

The Republican Party is a Mess

By Rich Kozlovich

Definition leads to clarity, and this article, Congressional RINOs do Democrats' bidding, by Patricia McCarthy is the essence of clarity when it comes to defining the Republican party.  Did the Texas Republicans punish the fleeing Democrats as they promised? No.  And she goes on to expose all the RINO's who talk big and walk small, afraid they might offend the Democrats, who are playing just as dirty as they ever have, with:

..........the Soros/Reed Hoffman left ......spending billions to recruit and pay protestors to scream and march against anything Trump does" [forcing the] "Democrats into defending all manner of criminals – rapists, child molesters, murderers and of course lesser thugs that torment law-abiding citizens in all major cities, especially DC, Chicago, NYC and LA. They thrive on the chaos they foment.

The Republican Party has no shared vision or goals.  The leadership in every state is filled with RINO's who are lying to their base, just like DeWine in Ohio and their choice for the Senate in 2024, Matt Dolan, whose vision is far more in line with Democrat Sherrod Brown than with Donald Trump.  Fortunately Bernie Moreno, an America First conservative won.  

When Vance became Vice President DeWine picked John Husted to replace him, and many of my friends who are involved in things consider him a RINO, and since he was DeWine's choice, it must be true.  Now, Sherrod Brown is intending to run against DeWine's pick, so it's my view the Democrats must think he's a RINO also.  Why Brown?  Name recognition.  The Democrats have no one, and are an even bigger mess than the Republicans, as a result they're massively losing voters all over the nation.

A number of elected Republicans have gone on the air to be interviewed explaining how Republicans are a mess, and really need to get their act together in order to deliver for the American people, and all that sounds nice, but given the state of affairs in the Republican party, its a bit delusional.

 

How does a party get it's act together when one side wants to continue going along to get along, spending and borrowing as if there's no penalty for such insanity, and is willing to scheme to destroy the Republican majority in the House?  Somehow I find that to be a bit....just a tiny bit... insurmountable.

 

How is a party to find common goals when it has members, like Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, and Alaska Senator Murkowski who was so outraged that Trump was the Republican nominee, she said would not vote for him, and broadcast that to the world.  Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Grassley refuses to confirm Trump's choice for U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, in spite of the fact it was Trump's support that got him reelected when he was down in the polls.   Clearly a mistake.

 

The Speaker of the House Johnson, and the Majority Leader of the Senate, Thune refuse to recess Congress which would allow the President to make recess appointments.   Appointments they've allowed the Democrats to hold up for months, and even giving Democrats veto power over Trump's picks with something called the Senate Blue Chip rule, which gives Senators veto power over picks for their state and that's not in the Constitution by the way.   That's a Senate rule and can be overturned by the Senate leadership.  The argument against ending that rule is you need to be careful for what you wish for, because at some point the opposition will be in charge.  When the Democrats faced the Blue Chip Rule when in power and it never mattered, they overturned it as it suited them, and did it multiple times. They got what they wanted then just as they're getting now because the Republicans are invertebrates.  

 

The difference between Murkowski, Collins and so many of these others in the Republican party in both the Senate and the House and the Democrats is...... well...... let me think about this for a second.  There isn't any difference.  Imagine that. 

So, what's saving them? The Democrats march in lockstep, but their march is deranged, described as by a CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten as, "messier than a hoarder’s basement." 

 

I received this via e-mail and have no idea who originated it, but it lists irrefutable facts of life, which I've paraphrased, all of which is an absolute condemnation of the chaos being promoted by the nation's Democrat party.

If you leave the gate open, the cow will wander off.  So if you intentionally leave the gate open, you want the cow to wander off. You can't blame stupidity or laziness. It was intentional, ergo, if the Democrats left the southern border wide open, you get more drug trafficking and human trafficking.  So if the Democrats intentionally left the border wide open, Democrats wanted more drug trafficking and human trafficking. 

 

If the Democrats  cut police budgets, history and reality shows crime increases.  So if Democrats intentionally cut police budgets, Democrats wanted more crime on the streets. 

 

If you cut back the supply of oil, gas prices (and everything else) will go up. So if Democrats intentionally cut back the supply of oil, Democrats wanted gas prices to go up. 

 

If printing trillions of dollars without increasing the supply of goods, inflation will hit hard, and this is a condemnation of both parties.  So if they intentionally print trillions of dollars without more goods they wanted inflation to hit hard. 

You can feel the quality of your life going down with the country. These are not foolish or misguided people. They are attempting to drive the nation somewhere we don't really want to go.  

The Republicans are a mess, and have earned the epithet "the stupid party".  The Democrats are insane and deserve the epithet "the party of treason".   

And those are the choices?  That's what really is a mess. 

Just a Random Thought or Two

By Rich Kozlovich

Here are some observations from posts of various types I've seen this past week, starting with this thought.  How often does anyone really do fact checking with CNN?   

If Donald Trump announced he'd discovered the cure for cancer, paid demonstrators would be out within hours proclaiming cancer cures were racist demanding the right to die from cancer, and insisting Trump can't take their cancer away.  

We've been through 30 years of Anthropogenic Global Warming, and since what warming there was stopped over 25 years ago, it's now Anthropogenic Climate Change, and there has been a suggestion to create a new government agency called the Bureau of Imaginary Problems with a Climate Change Division.

For years we've been hearing how the world must go back to the stone age in order to save the polar bears from extinction from global warming.  But, when Al Gore was born there were 7000 polar bears.  Now because of global warming, which isn't really happening, there are 30,000.  Hmmmm..... does that mean warmer temperatures would be better than colder temperatures?  

From the, 'Oh noooo, we're all gonna die", sanctified halls of academia and science.   NASA is warning the world we're going to run out of oxygen..... in a billion years.....  so you had better get your affairs in order.   Kiss your wives and children and....above all..... call mom.  One has to wonder how important that is when you consider all the other, "Oh noooo, we're all gonna die", warnings that appear weekly?    But scientists, government bureaucrats, and academics stock in trade is being profound.  As an example a professor might ask this ultimately profound question:

 "if we divide 125 genders by 3 bathrooms, how much climate change do we have?"  

Profound... Don't you think? 

We're seeing so many young men and women rampaging through shopping malls that malls are now demanding they be accompanied by an adult.  Should that also apply to Democrats when they campaign, speak to the media and vote in Congress?  

While it's true socialism murdered over 100 million people, and they destroyed the economy of one of South America's most successful nations, Venezuela, where things are so bad people are eating their pets, but none of that matters.  Bernie Sanders, who's never held a real job, says the trouble is real socialism has never been tried, so none of that counts.

A man found out a relative who was a lifelong Republican voted for Joe Biden, and that really disturbed him, because if his relative was still alive he would have been outraged.  

A woman asked a male friend living in the UK what it was like.  He said he can't complain, to which she said "that's wonderful".   He said... no.....not really...... if I complain I'll get arrested.   

It's Not About Race, It's About Culture!

By Rich Kozlovich

The wealthy white people of Baton Rouge wanted to divested themselves from Baton Rouge and create their own city, and guess what .... watch out now, here it comes..... they were accused of racism.   I'm shocked, shocked I tell you... nah... not really since all things great and small are racist.

Well, their response was it isn't about race, it's about culture, and while "it's not about race, it's about culture", really sounds nice, and to a degree it's true, but the fact of the matter is if it really is about culture, then it really is about race.  Because culture is king, and black American culture is a disaster.

When I read this my first thought was; can the citizens of Baton Rouge really form their own city? And surprisingly the answer was yes, they can, and "they did form their own city, a process that resulted in the creation of the new city of St. George in April 2024. This was the culmination of a years-long effort by residents in the St. George area of East Baton Rouge Parish who, after winning a 2019 ballot vote, successfully navigated a legal battle to establish their own separate government."

Even though blacks, who are now a big majority in Baton Rouge, made it clear they wanted segregation from whites in order to do things they way they want to do them, which has been molded by BLM, DEI, NAACP, Jesse Jackson, and all the other race baiters, it turns out blacks are angry about this because what they didn't want to be segregated from was all that white money, which was paying for what they wanted to do, none of which benefited the white community.  With these wealthy whites leaving, that's a cash cow that can no longer be milked.   

However, if I understand this correctly, the Mayor claims she doesn’t plan to let them leave and will continue to rule offering the same quality services she's offered in the past to Baton Rouge, such as "enormous crime, corruption, and even corruption in the schools.  None of which the wealthy white people wish to continue funding."   So, when the mayor of Baton Rouge claims he's not letting them go and will still rule over them I would assume any such efforts would criminal, or did I miss something?   Nah, she's big talking, and has no real say in any of this.  

If we look around the nation we find this same pattern playing out in all the major cities of American, all of which are ruled by far left Democrat lunatics, and if we're honest and have to courage to point it out, most of them are run by black Democrats spewing out lies on racism. 

• How Racism Against Whites Was Legitimized by Marxist Multiculturalism

As Daniel Greenfield has pointed out, "America isn’t suffering from racism: Democrats are. Racist Democrats destroy cities and then claim racism. They neglect the most basic services in favor of their ideology and blame racism. They wreck black communities, tout criminals, terrorists, and racial separatists, and then blame racism when the racism is looking right back at them from the broken pipes and bloody streets.........."

Black leader to Oprah: Put up or shut up! - Peterson...... cites Winfrey’s recent “outrageous claim that blacks in America are still terrorized by whites because of their race.”  “Oprah Winfrey is sending a destructive and racist message to black youth,”........  “I’m calling on Oprah to back up her claims and give proof of blacks being terrorized by whites. She can’t – because it’s not happening.”….The only way for racism to disappear, she said, would be for “older [white] people who were born, bred and marinated in prejudice and racism to die.” Winfrey also alleged President Obama is the target of unprecedented criticism because “he’s African-American. 

“To the contrary, it’s black thugs who viciously attack and commit crimes against whites,” Peterson said. “Black criminals are also killing other blacks in cities like Chicago (Oprah’s hometown). Last year, the city had 500 black-on-black murders. When will Oprah talk about black racism and terror?  Peterson said she should back up her claims or apologize…… I believe that Oprah has always been a closet racist – she’s just free to express her racism because she’s no longer constrained by her show airing on a major network,”...........

For a number of years my friend Mychal Massie allowed me to publish his work.  Mychal has a way with words, and he takes no prisoners saying:

It’s Always White People Until You Look At The Facts -  White people, especially white police officers are out to get innocent blacks.  Just ask “Low-brain James” the star dribbler who made the profound, albeit grossly inaccurate assertion, that black people are: “Hunted every time we step foot outside our homes.”  ............   I have made the point many times that those like “Low-brain” conveniently develop severe cataracts when it comes to seeing the truth of what group is committing crime and killing their neighbors.  Larry Elder took the dimwitted-dribble-from-his-mouth, wanna be the next leader of his “pee-puls” to task for his ignorant remark. Obviously, “Low-brain” and Joy Reid are two “things” that rival Rashida Tlaib and the obama woman for being grotesquely offensive and eager to distort the facts.  That said, let’s see these immiseration pimps and harlots attempt to dismiss these facts...........

As I said, Mychal has a way with words, and Mychal's article goes on to list the facts as to who is hunting whom, and it's not whites against blacks, it's blacks against blacks and whites.  

While the mayors of these failed major cities aren't all black, most of them are, and they're totally controlled by their party of choice, the Democrats.  That makes these black "leaders" part and parcel of the disasters unfolding in these cities, and against their own race.  But, what's worse is black Americans will continue to vote for the very monsters who are killing them, it's black culture.  Here are 19 things black America must love since they continue to vote for those who promote and support this insanity:

1. High crime rates. 
2. Defunding the police.
3. Releasing violent criminals into the public.
4. Higher taxes. 
5. Uncontrolled spending.
6. Corruption in office.
7. Massive inflation.
