Before you look at my archives on this blog!

Although, I really don’t have to write this little posting here, I will write it for the purposes of instruction to those who happen to come to this blog.

I just want to say this, is that you have to understand something about this blog. This Blog has a very large archive, the truth is, I have been writing about politics since 2006.

Much of the stuff that you will see on this Blog has been written a long time ago; except for the stuff written this year, 2019 and 2018.

I was perusing through my archives and I saw some postings that in some eyes would be deemed offensive and possibly even racist.

Jake Lang and Pastor Lorenzo Sewell are idiots

Well, it appears that it’s time for another edition of stupid conservatives and stupid christians.

I thought Christians were supposed to live peaceably among all men and be about the father‘s business. I guess things have changed and not for the good either.

These two morons are gonna actually have a protest in Dearborn against islam.

Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Rom 12:10  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Rom 12:11  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Rom 12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Rom 12:13  Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Rom 12:14  Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Rom 12:15  Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Rom 12:16  Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Rom 12:17  Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Rom 12:18  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Rom 12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Rom 12:20  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Rom 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Here is why these two morons are protesting:

Sewell says the march was prompted after Lang was assaulted in Dearborn earlier this month while protesting.
Video of the incident was posted to Instagram.
Sewell claims police failed to respond.
“The police can enact justice when they want to, but when Jake Lang is running for his life, the police do absolutely nothing,” Sewell said.
Chief Shahin pushed back on that claim, saying officers were on scene within seconds and made arrests.
“Within 30 seconds of his arrival, police officers were there making sure everybody was safe,” Shahin said.

Well, maybe if he wasn’t out there insulting Islam by protesting and possibly goading the people into attacking him, he most likely would’ve not gotten attacked.

I thought Christians were supposed to be about the father‘s business and not about making enemies in Islam and yes, I know all about that silly stuff that Islam is a threat to America and all that. yes Islam overseas is a threat because in most places, it is very radicalized, but here in the United States of America Islam is Americanized Islam, and for the most part they are very peaceful. At least the ones I’ve had dealings with.

Heck, I’m more worried about these Democratic socialists, than I am Muslims in Dearborn. They haven’t done anything to me and then that last time I checked, they’re not trying to get socialism into this country because many of them are very conservative in their politics and personal beliefs as well, so am I am not worried about Muslims taking over the country, no more than I am the Nazis reforming and taking over America.

But that’s how most conservatives operate today, they’ll go do something stupid, like go to Dearborn and protest Islam and then when they get attacked by the people they’re making fun of, or protesting against they go cry victim to places like Fox News, Newsmax and NewsNation.

This is why I have been saying for the longest time that the conservative movement is a parody of its former self and it’s sad too; because the Republican Party has a lot of good ideas. They just have a lot of idiots in the party, and in the conservative movement, which is really a parody of its former self to it, used to be a group of intellectual people who had intellectual arguments against the liberalism in other words, William F Buckley, but, nowadays, it’s filled to the brim with reactionaries and people who are nothing more than glorified attention whores.

We are at war with Iran

As I wrote before, I did not vote for a Neo-Conservative, warmongering President. I did, however, vote for a President that would put America first, put an end to the DEI crap, put a stop to the transgender crap, put a stop to the racial quota crap, bring America back to place of dominance on the World’s stage and hold all accountable, Countries that were royally screwing America on trade.

President Trump did all of that and now, he has put America into a full scale War with Iran. (military operation my hairy white butt.😡)

Now, President Trump is saying that boots on the ground, might be necessary.

Oh, and we have lost six American troops, so far.

Wait….. What!?!? 😵‍💫

This puts me in a unique place. I voted for the President, I love it that he was a 360 degree turn from the Presidency and policies of Joe Biden. I also understand that a nuke in the hands of the radical leadership in Iran is crazier than an outhouse rat.

However, attempting to set up American style Democracy in the Middle East is also crazier than an outhouse rat too! We have tried that before and it just does not work.

Ideally, I would like to see a secular Country there, where Islam of all stripes, Christianity, and other religions can co-exist. It worked, somewhat in Iraq. Now in Iran, that is going to be a tall order, and huge mountain to climb.

The problem is that Shia Islam of the radical stripe is so entrenched in that Country, that undoing that is going to be very difficult and bombs and guns are not going to get that done. You have to understand, many of the people in that Country have been indoctrinated in that belief system, since childhood. Untangling that, is on par with untangling wire coat hangers! (Which are tools of Satan himself…. The coat hangers that is. 😂)

I will end with this: I voted for the for the President. I just hope like hell, that he knows what he is doing and I hope he is listening to reason within his cabinet. Because if he pulls a George W. Bush and screws this up; is going to hurt the United States for a very long time.

Trump and the Republicans have not learned lessons from Iraq

I guess it is because I am old. I am now 53 years old, and see a Republican President about to make the same mistake that George W. Bush made with Iraq.

Trump is now threatening war with Iran, while promoting peace in the Middle East. This via New York Post:

WASHINGTON — A defiant Iran has teamed up with fellow anti-West rogue nation Russia for a series of naval drills in the critical oil chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman — despite the Trump administration warning Tehran it’d be “very wise” to cut a deal now.
Russia and Iran have held joint naval exercises annually since 2019, but this time they come amid a growing American military buildup in the region and possible strikes.
The drills are intended to “prevent any unilateral action in the region,” Iranian navy Rear Adm. Hassan Maqsudlu told reporters, RadioFreeEurope reported.
The show of military might comes as the White House warned that “there are many reasons one could make for a strike against Iran.”
“The president has been very clear with respect to Iran or any country around the world, diplomacy is always his first option,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Wednesday.
“Iran would be very wise to make a deal with President Trump and with this administration.”

The Trump administration is about to learn a very important lesson, that you cannot use mob-type tactics with hostile nations. Now, with Iraq, they had old Soviet era airplanes, tanks and weapons. Iran is another story, they have modern airplanes, sold to them by Russia and there are Russians there as well, working with the Iran, doing these military exercises.

If you do not think that Russia would jump at the chance to join into a war with Iran, against the United States, you are very highly mistaken. Another thing to consider is; what about China? If you think that Iran and Russia would not put a call into China for help, if the USA started getting the upper hand, you are very highly mistaken. China’s military is three times the size of the United States Military.

I voted for America first policies, I voted for a President who would put America first. I did not vote for a President who would pursue Neoconservative style foreign policy. I did not vote for a Bush type President.

I just hope and pray that the Trump Administration does not overplay their hand.

Happy New Year 2026

Never thought I’d live to see 2026. But, here we are.

I hope that everyone, who actually still reads here, had a very Merry Christmas. I wish you all the best for the new year.

One of these days, I hope to get back to writing on here more. I need to get a new laptop. Mine is quite old. I am writing this on my iPad, that my Mom bought for me for my birthday, a few years ago.

That’s all for now.

Two Terrorist Attacks this weekend

I am glad the Israeli hostages are released, BUT!

Well, it seems that the President has been able to force a peace plan on Israel and Hamas. It also seems like the Hamas Hostages have been released. Which I am happy to see. However, something else is about to happen, that I and other believe is going to be a tragic mistake. The bad thing is, it has happened before.

Daniel Greenfield at Frontpage Magazine writes and boy is he ever right:

On Oct 7, 2001, the United States began an ill-fated campaign to ‘nation build’ Afghanistan.
Now 24 years after that anniversary and 2 years after the Oct 7 attacks by Hamas, we may be on the cusp of an even worse nation-building program in Gaza that seems to have learned absolutely nothing from the disastrous nation-building operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Right down to resurrecting former UK PM Tony Blair to head ‘nation building’ in Gaza.

Sounds familiar, does it not? We tried this before and it failed badly. Mr. Greenfield lists the reasons why:

The Bush administration believed that the problem in Afghanistan, Iraq and other Muslim countries wasn’t the people, their culture or Islamic religion, but their governments.

Bringing ‘democracy’ and ‘free enterprise’ into murderous tribal societies was supposed to marginalize Islamic terrorists by giving the locals something better to do than kill infidels.

Foreign aid experts and world government types would build a ‘technocratic’ government propped up by international investments to turn Afghanistan and Iraq into Switzerland.

That turned out to be the biggest abortion job of a mistake ever and we’re still sporting the scars from it too.

I very highly suggest that you go read the rest of that article.

You know you are living in strange times, when you find yourself reading and agreeing with something written in Frontpage Magazine! 😮

Trump and the Republicans are going regret this foolishness

Like I have written before, I am truly glad Donald Trump won the election.

However, it appears that The President and the Republicans are reverting back to his antics that happened during his first term.

First there is this, which comes via Molly Ball at the Wall Street Journal:

AUSTIN, Texas—Standing at the wooden lectern at the front of the state House chamber, Republican state Rep. Todd Hunter put the purpose of his legislation to redraw Texas’ congressional map in forthright terms. “The underlying goal of this plan is straightforward,” he said: “Improve Republican political performance.”
What might once have been considered a damning admission was embraced as an explicit rationale as the state House proceeded to pass the map on a party-line vote late Wednesday. Democrats charged that Republicans were shamelessly redrawing the lines ahead of the usual decennial schedule at the behest of President Trump to add five potential congressional seats for their party—and Republicans largely agreed.

The redistricting plan, which is expected to be signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in the coming days, has set off a national partisan arms race, reshuffling the landscape for next year’s midterm elections and potentially permanently altering the parties’ electoral calculations. California has already begun a high-stakes gambit to redraw the massive blue state’s congressional lines in response, while other red states, egged on by the White House, are jockeying to follow Texas’ lead.
The upshot of the redistricting wars looks likely to benefit Republicans overall. And the episode seems fated to stand as yet another illustration of Trump’s willingness to use his stranglehold over his party to maximize his power, polarizing the national landscape and trampling long-held norms in the process, and leaving the opposition dazed.

Then there is this, via the Editorial Board at the Wall Street Journal:

President Trump promised voters during his campaign for a second term that he had bigger things on his mind than retribution against opponents. But it is increasingly clear that vengeance is a large part, maybe the largest part, of how he will define success in his second term.
His revenge campaign took an ominous turn Friday as FBI agents raided the home and office of Mr. Trump’s first-term national security adviser John Bolton. They brought two broad warrants to search the “premises.” Agents showed up unannounced at his Bethesda, Md., home at 7 a.m. They confiscated his wife Gretchen’s phone because it was visible and not on her person. Mr. Bolton had already left for his office, which is where FBI agents greeted him.

Kash Patel, the FBI director, sent out a cryptic tweet at 7:03 Friday morning that “NO ONE is above the law . . . @FBI agents on mission.” He didn’t specify to whom he was referring, but the timing is unlikely to have been coincidental.
It’s hard to see the raid as anything other than vindictive. Mr. Bolton fell out of Mr. Trump’s favor in the first term and then wrote a book about his experience in the White House while Mr. Trump was still President. Mr. Trump tried and failed to block publication. The President then claimed Mr. Bolton had exposed classified information, though the book had gone through an extensive pre-publication scrub at the White House for classified material.
The book investigation faded away under President Biden, but now it looks as if Mr. Patel is reviving it. Whether Mr. Trump ordered the FBI probe or not doesn’t matter. Mr. Patel knows what the President thinks about Mr. Bolton, and the President’s minions in Trump II don’t serve as the check on his worst impulses the way grown-ups did in his first term. The presidential id is now unchained.
===
The real offender here is a President who seems to think he can use the powers of his office to run vendettas. We said this was one of the risks of a second Trump term, and it’s turning out to be worse than we imagined.

It seems the President Trump did not learn the lessons from his first term, that ended up being a disaster in the end. Furthermore, it seems that the President is out for revenge. The simpletons in the MAGA movement think that this is awesome. However, the MAGA movement is not the entire conservative movement; they might think they are, but they are not.

You see, there are principled people, like myself, that see these sort of actions as big Government tyranny. Whether it be on the State level, as in Texas or as in the Federal Government. You see, it seems that this “MAGA” Government and President, have something in common with the Neoconservatives of the early 2000’s —- and that is that the MAGA Government and President, love big Government, as long as they control it and it suits their agenda.

What America needs is a President that will respect the idea of limited Government and respect for our Constitution.

Beege Welborn you can do better than that!

What am I talking about? This:

You can read the blog posting here.

Most of the time, Beege is funny. She totally missed the boat on this one. Calling a black woman, the coconut queen is not even remotely funny. Why didn’t she just call the former VP the N-Word and get it over with?

You see, where I come from, which is southwest Detroit, Michigan or “The Hood” as we Southwest Detroit alumni call it; calling a black woman, the coconut queen, would get your butt kicked or worse get your throat cut or get you shot in the head. Not a smart move by HotAir.com, which has been accused of racism and Antisemitism in the past, by former affiliates.

Beege and HotAir.com can and should do better than this nonsense. I mean, the left calls us Trump supporters racist bigots; why prove their point for them? It just does not make any sense to me at all.

Old School Blogger Kevin Drum has died

One of the old school bloggers, from back in the day, has passed away.

Kevin Drum, a left of center blogger, which is, what I was prior to the buildup and election of Obama.

From NYT:

Kevin Drum, who gave up his day job in software marketing to write online about politics, policy and his cats, quickly becoming a key figure in the vanguard of center-left bloggers during the genre’s heyday in the early 2000s, died on March 7. He was 66.
His wife, Marian Drum, announced the death on his website but did not say where he died or cite a cause.
Mr. Drum, who lived in Irvine, Calif., had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2014 and had recently developed pneumonia. He blogged about those personal challenges openly and with the same insight that he brought to issues like health care policy and urban planning.
He spent most of his life in Orange County, Calif., which distinguished him from the majority of early big-name bloggers, many of whom hailed from the Washington-Boston corridor or from academic enclaves.

Mr. Drum began blogging in 2002 and quickly developed a large nationwide following. He helped shape what became known as the liberal blogosphere, populated by a broad amalgam of left-of-center thinkers who emphasized policy debates over political horse races.
His curiosity was broad, and he wrote on a variety of subjects from a variety of perspectives — sometimes casually observational, sometimes rigorously analytical — in a way that set him apart from the assorted camps that defined the blogosphere, including academics, politicos and ideologues.

Brian Delong quoting Ben Dreyfuss:

By 2020, I was the editorial director of Mother Jones and no longer did much of anything directly except oversee the newsletters AND occasionally act as Kevin’s protector. Because the whole liberal journalism universe had gone crazy at this point. We had spent years hiring all these young kids who hated Kevin. They hated anyone with his politics or his tone. He was a normie white lib in Orange County, you know?
He was regularly the main character on Twitter, which wasn’t fair, and internally that spilled over to the point where the Mother Jones union was constantly complaining about him. All these staffers that didn’t know him would go on Twitter and get into a lather about how he was the devil and complain.
The greatest example of this is the movie Parasite. Kevin wrote a blog post about how he doesn’t like subtitles in the specific context of Parasite. I read it and saw nothing wrong with it. The CEO read it and saw nothing wrong with it. Twitter read it and lost its shit. This spilled over into Slack and people were acting like he was in the KKK. I had to email him and say “Hey, please do me a favor and elaborate on your point about subtitles in a new post because all these idiots are misconstruing you and it’s causing problems for me.” He then did do exactly that.
This sounds insane. Who cares if he likes subtitles or not? I hate subtitles. I actually refuse to watch most foreign films because I hate subtitles and dubbing. But this shit was just par for the course at this time.

So, in a sense, Kevin was forced out of Mother Jones, because he was an older white guy, who was not in tune with the radical Neo-Left. Sounds about right to me. I too, basically, left my Left of Center position, because it seemed to me, that white people like me; were not longer welcomed in that party and political spectrum anymore.

Rest in peace, Kevin. Your moderate liberal voice will be missed.

Others: New Republic

America is Back, Finally

Well, Donald J. Trump made it. As I wrote before, I voted for the man. I quite literally had no other choice and basically, I could never really vote Democrat, they have just lost me.

Paraphrasing John Wayne slightly, I voted for the man, I hope he does a good job.

I just hope that the President does not get caught up in the blatant stupidity that hounded his last Presidency. To be fair, he does seem to have a quite competent team around him this time.

I do hope, however, that the President is able to get this Nation back on the path that it desperately needs to return to being on.

I hope the prices on food, gas, goods, and other such things drop back to acceptable levels.

I hope that we can cast the Neocon, internationalist Democrat style of foreign policy, trade, and world outlook into the dustbin of history as an example of what not to do.

I hope that Democratic Socialism is cast into the ash heap of history, as a tragic mistake that almost cost the Democratic Party any sort of political legitimacy and it will be viewed as an flawed political doctrine and that the Democrats will never, ever give those fools any sort of place at the table of political discourse ever again.

I hope that the MAGA movement and Donald J. Trump’s fight to regain the White House is used by Conservatives to political students of the Republican Party on how to effectively reach those who are not a part of your normal demographic and as an cautionary tale of what happens when a movement gets out of control of its intended purpose. (See Jan 6)

I hope that the Republican Party, President Trump and the Conservative movement as a whole, does not get cocky and use this victory to bash the Democratic Party over the head. Their resounding defeat in the election did that very well.

I hope that President Donald Trump does not abuse his power as President.

Other than that, I have nothing to say really.

I am just glad that America is back!
