Sometimes ideology thwarts the obvious to disastrous consequences. The cure is simple, eliminate social welfare and move to workfare, with social responsibilities.

"You're Screwing Us" - Warren Defends Plan To Cancel Student Debt After Father Confronted Her In Iowa
He is too male, too white, too privileged, or something. Obama Called Trump 'Fascist Who Can't Be Allowed Into White House'
Fascism is "a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition." fascism It is Obama and his Democrats who exalt group identity above all else, through the ideas of wokeness, and identity politics. This is essentially a fascist position. It is clear the Democrats also want an autocratic centralized government with a leader who has the power to act and implement policy at whim. One of the great complaints is that issues like global warming require political power to be focused in the President so he can act sua sponte as needed. This is the demand for dictatorial power. Regulation of business, the economy, the people are all fascist positions. Obama increased regulations, including the fascist Obamacare fiasco, various global warming-related regulations, and myriad business and economic regulations during his administration. The result of these regulations was severe economic and social regimentation. Obama's senior administrative personnel also spied on journalists, and the Republican Presidential candidates, and then upon President-elect Trump in what needs to be investigated as the worst attempted suppression of political opposition in US history. Trump wants to Make America Great Again. Otherwise, he has reduced centralization of government, reduced or eliminated US participation in the fraudulent global warming silliness, reduced government regulations on all from the Obama high of 90,000 pages in the Federal Register to fewer than 60,000 pages. These have reduced economic and social regimentation and returned those powers to the people, or the states. Obama is the fascist; the progressives are the fascists, not Trump. There is no evidence of any fascist predictions in Trump. Obama, the fascist, is projecting. California Couple Charged With $910 Million Alternative Energy Tax Credit Ponzi Scheme
Global warming is about corruption, it is a modern Piltdown Man. The solutions are about fraud, deception, and corruption. Watch: CNN Calls Trump Supporters Stupid Illiterate Rednecks
They are angry you cannot accept your station as serfs. The real problem is they believe they are educated, erudite, and should be obeyed. But you are not obeying. This frustrates them to the point that they are lashing out trying to hurt you and scold you into obeying. Don't! BIDEN GETS TOUGH: Trump 'going to understand what punches mean' - The American Mirror Biden always promises big but never delivers. He is like Obama, a small, unaccomplished man with a massive ego. It is better to talk softly and carry a hickory stick than bray loudly like Biden. "A donkey once found a Lion’s skin which the hunters had left out in the sun to dry. He put it on and went towards his native village. All fled at his approach, both men and animals, and he was a proud Donkey that day. In his delight he lifted up his voice and brayed, but then every one knew him, and his owner came up and gave him a sound cudgelling for the fright he had caused. And shortly afterwards a Fox came up to him and said: “Ah, I knew you by your braying.” Silly words disclose a fool. Aesop No speaker is sillier than Biden. Elon Musk launching another 60 SpaceX 'internet satellites' as fury over 'space junk' grows
In the end, it will be the private sector that cleans up the mess created by the space-faring governments. We need less government involvement, not more to solve our current problems, including space junk. Peace to Prosperity
Will the Palestinians be smart enough to accept? The House of Saud needs to put significant pressure on the Palestinians to accept this settlement. Trump has the leverage to achieve this, and the House of Saud's economic position makes it likely they will agree. The House of Saud needs good relations with Isreal to make their Neom project work. They need the Neom project to attempt to jump-start a real economy in Saudi Arabia. In essence, the entire viability of the House of Saud teeters on whether Neom gets off the ground. This could happen. Russiagate Spy Paid $1 Million By Obama Was WaPo Deep Throat
This corruption is not limited to a few "bad apples" but is endemic to those in the progressive movement, er, cult. Like all cults, when pressured, the cultist are willing to go to any length to protect the cult and promote the cult's message. It is time to expose the progressive cult, and to charge those who are behaving criminally. This must be from the very bottom to the very top; no stone must be left unturned. Failing this, the people will be left to deal with this problem on their own, and we don't want heads on pikes, do we? Putin Calls For A New System Guided By UN Charter... But Is It Possible?
After WWII, American created the entire international system we know today, the UN, the Bretton Woods financial institutions, and the regional institutions. This was created in the shadow of the Cold War, and once the Cold War ended these institutions quickly began failing. As I have argued for three decades, we needed to begin replacing these institutions immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union. If we had, we might have been able to avoid the myriad problems we have faced since the Middle Eastern crises, the South China Sea crisis, China, Ukraine, Georgia, Russian belligerence, and more. But we did not. Now would be a good time to address these problems and build the international infrastructure necessary to move the world forward through the 21st century and beyond. Such international institutions need to be based on the Anglospheric worldview in conjunction with the Scandinavian worldview. We can allow in a few others, but they must be of limited voting stature; this would include the German-speaking peoples. A seat at the table would require the nation to have fully implemented and observe the basic fundamentals we know lead to human thriving: free markets, individual liberty, personal responsibility, constitutional republican governance, reformed religions, the right to property, self-defense, free association, and speech. The US Constitution is the second greatest modern document only eclipsed by the Declaration of Independence. It would make a good basis for the new international systems constitution. The USA should also distribute the Declaration of Independence and make it understood it will stand with any who find themselves oppressed. We will also need to shrink our federal government to perhaps 6-10% of GDP or face the consequences of our Declaration of Independence being used against us. The vast and unConstitutional welfare state should be state-run if the people of a state want those institutions, but there is no valid Constitutional provision that permits the federal government to usurp these powers from the people or the states. |
