Left vs. Right? Is There a Difference?

1 Comment

Just in case my readers potentially miss it, I’m adding this YouTube video for everyone to watch.  If you ever wondered why congress has only a 10% approval rate, this will explain why!

The following video is of Rand Paul speaking about the proposed budget submitted by the Republican party.  This, after gaining the majority in the House, Senate, and now Presidency.  Incompetent criminals…

Rand Paul on the 2017 Budget

 

And all of this is done under the guise of repealing Obamacare!!!  Yet another continuing resolution.  The video is a little over 20 minutes.  But you’ll get the idea after only a minute or two.  Truly unbelievable.

After posting this article, I got an idea for an alternative solution to the spending quandary we live with in congress.  Here’s my idea:

Connect the American budget with congress’s salary.  If they cut the budget 10%, they get a 10% raise.  If the budget goes up 10%, their salary is cut.  So let’s look at an example.

Current congress salaries (House and Senate) = $93,625,000/year (poor guys)  So if the budget was cut 10%, their salaries would go up $9,362,500 — a nice raise!  Now considering the current U.S. annual budget is about $3.8T, that would mean we’d save $380B.!!!  At that rate we’d be saving some ‘real money’ before you know it!!  I don’t know about you, but this sounds like a good deal to me!!?

There’s only one problem with my idea…   congress would have to vote on it for approval!!  NO WAY would that fly with the fat lazy self-serving ‘representatives’ we have today!!  (*&^%#$%^

The Future of America?

1 Comment

We watch what is happening in Europe and hope that ‘it’ doesn’t come here.  Because the middle-east is ‘on fire’, refugees are flooding into Europe at a rate that assimilation is not a reasonable expectation.  Consequently there is chaos everywhere — it’s just worse in some places.  Today’s polite term for those places is ‘enclaves’.  During WWII they were referred to as ‘ghettos’ when the Jews were the target of conversation.  Ah, but we couldn’t refer to Muslim populated areas as ghettos.!?

But there is a term used today that is even more ominous.  They refer to some Muslim populated areas as ‘no-go zones’.  The following article describes this newer phenomena — which is very scary.  Especially if you consider we can ‘grow’ them here in the U.S.  At our current population growth rates of the various sectors of populace in the U.S., white Americans will be well out numbered in just a few years.  And those evil Europeans who migrated here in the 1600’s are already outnumbered considering all of the ‘minorities’ in the U.S. currently.

‘No-Go’ Zones Take Root in Europe

 

Once this sort of thing takes hold in a country, their future is very dim.  To turn around such a situation would take more than most people would be willing to accept.  But, with political correctness running rampant throughout the world, anything is possible — even self-destruction…

Abortion vs. Surgical Miracle

1 Comment

‘Children’ not yet born are apparently worthless based on progressive rhetoric.  Killing a ‘fetus’ is of no consequence.  Life is meaningless..?  Kind of like in third world countries — typically communist states.

Well here in America we all haven’t drunk the ‘progressive coolaid’.  The following article describes medical activity today which is simply amazing.  And, it reaffirms the value of life here in America…   so far.

Surgery Before Birth

Isn’t it great to read for a change something positive happening in this world!!?

Our Children and Digital Addiction

Leave a comment

Much like the article I just posted on ‘Avery’ (National Geographic & Gender), this article is yet another example of how the progressive movement is trying to destroy our culture in America.  If you don’t think our kids are under assault, read the following article and think again.  All of this in the interest of making our kids ‘better’..?

Kids turn violent as parents battle ‘digital heroin’ addiction

 

This is information that should be shared with everyone you know who has kids!  A friend of mine is who turned me onto this subject.  His son who was a 3.8 GPA student all through an advance high school is now a 2.0 student and physically attacking his parents (who are great people!).  Yet another life destroyed, at least for now.  Hopefully he’ll turn around..?

Gun Control — Part XXVIII..?

1 Comment

Will they ever give up?  I doubt it.  The left must take away guns from the American public in order to accomplish their ultimate goal — a totalitarian state within the U.S.  How do they plan to do this?  Via the United Nations.

Obama, just like Clinton, has sent the proposal to the Senate for their approval to ratify the U.N. Arms Treaty which effectively nullifies the 2nd amendment and gives all control of guns to the U.N.  Will they do it?  I seriously doubt it.  But this ‘message’ to the American public should be clear — “We will take your guns one day!”  Scary stuff.

Obama’s Parting Shot

 

Can you imagine the fear in this country if all guns were confiscated?

Texas The Refugee Leader

1 Comment

As everyone knows, ‘everything is big in Texas’!!  Yeah, well that isn’t always a good thing.  It would appear with the massive influx of refugees from around the world pushed by our FDR wannabe leader, we are now the refugee capital of 2016!?  Read the following article written by the key refugee reporter of the internet.

Refugees for Fiscal Year 2017

 

So what does this report tell us (me)?  What jumps into my mind is the fact that the progressives are not only attempting to sabotage this country, but more specifically Texas!  Why?  Because Texas is the anchor of this country.  Everyone looks to Texas for leadership or as a threat.  The hard working people of this country wish to aspire to what Texas is, and the ‘left’ aspires to destroy their nemesis, Texas — the conservative anchor of the country.

Now the BIG question to me is, how will this all change (or not) after Trump takes charge?  I’m only hoping that this insanity is stopped — quick.  Predominantly because a disproportionate number of criminals are being injected into our society which leads to honest citizen suffering.  People don’t believe it (yet), but the terrorists in this country are creating very large ‘cells’ to be called to duty when the time is right.  There’s a small army here already!  We don’t need more…

The Alt-Right — What is it!?

2 Comments

Apparently most people haven’t even heard of the term ‘alt-right’.  But those who have apparently can’t define it — not as one definition that is.  The following is a Pew Research article on the subject worth reading.  Please read it and then continue on.

The Alt-Right

 

So, if you read the article, hopefully you came to the same conclusion I did..?  It would seem that there are a lot of definitions held for one word.  But why?  Apparently, because it is a relatively new term and wasn’t officially defined ‘for the public’.  But why would you do that?  A simple answer, to create obscurity and confusion.

If you study the ‘progressive’ movement, you’ll find that they like to use labels and to create definitions — for already existing words.  In other words, create an environment where you can alter meanings to your advantage.  i.e., make bad good, and good bad

It’s just my opinion, but I believe the term ‘alt-right’ is just another way of defining the enemy in a way that scoops up many people.  After all, if you had a clear definition, would you be able to package as many ideas for one word as has been created?  Would you have as many people against that group as the definers have created?

One thing to remember, the enemy is NOT dumb and has shown more ingenuity than the conservative movement thus far.  (Just look at the progress the ‘alt-left’ has created in the last eight years!!?)  I believe the conservatives are more principled for the large part comparatively to the progressives.  Which is why they haven’t been quick enough to define the ‘alt-left’ for the media to use.  But then what would make be think that they would use it!!?

Trump & Our Future — Optimistic or Pessimistic

3 Comments

Although Trump won the election (as believed by most people), the question now is, will he do even half of what he has promised?  And he’s promised a LOT!

Yesterday I talked to an attorney at the NRA regarding ‘gun free zones’ and what we can do to help alleviate the potential danger.  I was surprised to hear that they weren’t really interested in my idea of creating a special concealed carry license.  Instead their plan is to eliminate those zones all together!  Wow!  And, they believe they have the support of Trump.  What a rosy picture of our future!

The real question is, will things turn around and will we all live happily ever after?  Hmmm..?  I guess that question means we have to look at our current situation with a realistic and/or objective view.

Please read the following article and consider the 11 realities that the author presents.  It would seem to me that they are real and must be faced…  some day?!

11 Very Depressing Economic Realities

I guess one could look at this as a glass half full or empty.?  How successful do you see Trump and our congress (with a 10% approval rating) over the next four years?

Why Move to Texas?

1 Comment

We’ve been asked numerous times why we moved to Texas.  My answer is simple.  I can name that tune in two notes:  California, Texas.

If you look at California (where we moved from), you’ll find a hard left mentality which leads to numerous laws which protect the guilty — not the innocent.  Illegal aliens in California are basically ‘hands off’.

As recent as last week the chief of police for Los Angeles stated publicly that he would not enforce any laws pertaining to immigration.  Although he is not part of the federal immigration system, he is required to report anyone suspected of a crime to ICE.  San Francisco is clearly a sanctuary city.  Concurrently the state is releasing tens of thousands of felons back into society to commit yet more crimes against society.

Here’s just a little evidence of the insanity occurring on a daily basis in California.  Focus on proposition 57 which redefines ‘violent crimes’ — especially the supporters and opposition at the bottom of the page.

Here in Texas there are four cities which are basically venues similar to California as a whole (maybe I meant ‘hole’?).  Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are way left compared the the other 70% of the state.  Where we’re fortunate (for the time being), we have a Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General with right thinking brains.  As a result, this state is moving further toward being the best state to live in this country.

Please read the following article regarding the priorities in our next session of Texas congress.  Only in Texas folks.

Texas 2017 Legislative Priorities

So, it should be rather clear at this point why a ‘good old boy’ from communist central would move to Texas..?!

Syrian Refugees & Border Control

There has been a great deal of controversy regarding the two subjects in this article for several months.  We’ve seen Europe implode under the weight of criminal activity and harassment of women throughout that region.  Now we potentially face the same here in our not too distant future.

The following article describes these issues in plain talk addressing the matter in an objective way — regardless of what emotional energy is involved in the topic.  If you read this article you may learn some things about how this country has been marching toward a ‘lowering of our standards’ for numerous years!  As planned.

How about that commentary regarding the ‘Immigration Act of 1965’?  And people think that we got here by accident..!?  It’s all in the plan folks.
