Chuck Schumer goes unhinged

U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is on a partisan mission to find fault with, criticize, malign, and obstruct absolutely everything that President Donald Trump says and does no matter what. The man is unhinged.

If Trump came up with an inexpensive cure for every type of cancer and initiated a program to distribute it to every person on the planet free for the benefit of mankind, Chuck Schumer would stand up on the senate floor to block it just like he plans to filibuster Trump’s appointment of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the SCOTUS.

Since Schumer whines and objects without exception to everything Trump says and does; since he is always invariably negative, he has lost all credibility to opine on any matter involving the President. Everyone knows that he goes way beyond partisan party politics; he does it just for the fun of it.

Now Schumer, according to numerous witnesses, is even causing ugly scenes with people in public for simply minding their own business. He recently totally lost his cool and went off on a loud yelling tirade directed toward the wife of a prominent former democrat at a posh Upper East Side Manhattan restaurant for the “crime,” as he sees it, of having voted for Trump.

Schumer was dining there with friends when he encountered prominent Democrat, Joseph A. Califano Jr., the former U.S. secretary of health, education and welfare under President Jimmy Carter and domestic policy adviser to President Lyndon B. Johnson, and his wife, Hilary, who were having a quiet dinner.

Witnesses said that Schumer became incensed with Hilary because she voted for Trump. The Califanos left the restaurant but Schumer followed them outside screaming, yelling and ranting repeatedly, “How could you vote for Trump? He’s a liar! ”

Ms. Califano confirmed the confrontation: “Sen. Schumer was really rude…. He’s our senator, and I don’t really like him. Yes, I voted for Trump. Schumer joined us outside and he told me Trump was a liar. I should have told him that Hillary Clinton was a liar, but I was so surprised I didn’t say anything.”

I don’t like him either. What reasonable human being does?

Chuck Schumer has cried wolf far too often.

He has a disturbing tendency to go unhinged. 

Order in the court: Let us pray

There is no end to the number of government officials in America who think they have authority from God Almighty to ignore the First Amendment Establishment Clause and use their public positions to promote their religious beliefs. I have the obligation to call them out time and time again. Dealing with these sanctimonious morons is like playing the game of whack-a-mole with a ping pong paddle.

Now in Texas we have Montgomery County Justice of the Peace Wayne Mack, who has installed his own tradition of beginning each session of his court with Christian prayers. But don’t say he didn’t warn us. He campaigned for his government job vowing it instill "religious values” in his office and promised to implement a "chaplaincy program."

The judge, at the start of each session, tells all the people in his courtroom, onlookers, lawyers and litigants alike, that if they are offended by the prayer, "you can leave into the hallway and your case will not be affected." Then a minister of the Christian gospel stands up and reads from the Bible to the congregation. After this sermon, with Judge Mack looking on, the preacher asks everyone to bow their heads in prayer.

Naturally, all the litigants and their lawyers in the courtroom feel coerced to participate in the religious rituals as they believe that the outcome of their personal court case will be affected by how Judge Mack sees them react.

Will the judge look favorably upon them if they bow their heads in prayer?

Will he punish them if they don’t?

Proponents of Judge Mack’s “tradition” claim that it is a “settled issue.” "Judge Mack's program is an excellent idea and a great way to serve the community… It has already been upheld by both The Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct and the Texas Attorney General."

Well, isn’t that precious? It serves the community? Good luck on that idea with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston, Judge Mack. Your religious “tradition” goes way too far, is unconstitutional, and the federal courts will strike it down.

Suppose, for example, that another Texas judge installed a “tradition” of starting each session of his court with a little missive about why God and Jesus are imaginary. Do you think that The Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct and the Texas Attorney General would uphold that “tradition”?

I don’t thinks so.

Order in the court: Let us not pray. 

Hillary Clinton & her rotten Brazile nuts

Remember during the 2016 Democratic election primaries when WikiLeaks published hacked DNC emails showing that chairwoman, Donna Brazile, used her CNN contributor position to help Hillary Clinton cheat on rival Bernie Sanders during their debates?

Remember how Brazile over and over again vehemently denied that she passed town hall debate questions on to Hillary that would be asked during the debates so that Clinton would have a heads up advantage against Sanders? “I did not receive any questions from CNN,” she lied. “As a Christian woman I understand persecution, but I will not stand here and be persecuted because your information is totally false.”

Remember how Hillary Clinton kept her mouth shut and lips zipped tight about the allegations against Brazile and her campaign cheating Sanders and rigging the primary process against him? We surely didn’t see her come forward to admit that she and her campaign were systematically perverting the primary election to deprive Bernie Sanders of a fair chance to compete, did we?

Well now, at long last, Brazile admits that she did in fact use her CNN position several times to pass debate questions to Clinton before the debate. “[A]mong the many things I did in my role as a Democratic operative and DNC vice chair prior to assuming the interim DNC chair position was to share potential town hall topics with the Clinton campaign,” she writes.

Now she apologizes calling it "a mistake I will forever regret" “My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good, and I worked closely with both campaigns to make that happen. But sending those emails was a mistake I will forever regret.”

Brazile was a paid commentator at CNN then. She violated basic ethics and betrayed her employer's trust by sharing the information with Clinton. That got her fired after the emails were released. Now she candidly admits the cheating scheme but Hillary Clinton will never admit her part in it.

That’s because Hillary Clinton is a fundamentally dishonest human being. Obviously, she didn’t alert CNN and insist that different debate questions be asked. That would have been the decent and honest thing to do but sadly Hillary Clinton has never been decent and honest. Neither she nor any of her campaign officials have ever expressed any regret or remorse for cheating Bernie Sanders, deceiving the public, CNN and subverting democracy.

That’s just one more of many examples proving the permanently flawed character of Hillary Clinton and her rotten Brazile nuts. 

Cut it out!

The goofy leftists are screaming bloody murder over President Trump’s proposed budget cuts, which even if passed by Congress (doubtful), would actually cut only a minuscule percentage of the overall bloated, unnecessary out of control give-away government largess. Thank you, Mr. President for your bold and aggressive proposals, but your priorities are skewed and it’s not nearly enough. 

The leftists cry like spoiled babies over the potential loss of boondoggles like Big Bird, Meals on Wheels, and National Endowment for the Arts. How can America possibly survive the demise of Public Broadcasting, they whine? 

Right-wingers wring their greedy hands over potential cuts to the massive and unnecessary national security and military industrial complex programs. How can America possibly survive with a leaner, meaner and more cost effective national security and defense system, they whine?

But the real question is how can America possibly survive a national debt that is fast approaching $20trillion and still growing exponentially? We simply don’t need stupid government give-away schemes, and we must recognize that our national security is not presently in any serious danger. So shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars stupidly for just one fighter jet is a monumentally ridiculous proposition.

Completely ignored is the plain fact that interest payments alone on that debt presently total over $6oobillion annually at rates which have stayed ridiculously low for too many years now.  If interest rates as projected simply return to the national average it’s going to start costing us more than a $trillion dollars every year just to service that debt.

Interest payments will amount to more than any single category of spending, including defense and all national security allocations combined. America cannot sustain that burden. Something’s got to give. Drastic cuts will be necessary well beyond what President Trump is proposing.

Cut it out!

Of course, the government could keep printing more and more money to stave off the impending disaster. But that would only lead to a massive increase in inflation. Imagine a loaf of bread that costs you $100. Imagine an economy and annual inflation rate like the people in Venezuela are suffering.  There aren’t nearly enough taxpayers in our country to bail us out of a mess like that. The only reasonable solution is to cut spending drastically.

Or, maybe the government could eventually run out of funds and be forced to default on the debt. Do you think that would be a good thing; stiffing all those creditors, including China, of all the trillions we owe? If so, think again. That debt cannot simply be canceled. The money would still be owed. The consequences to ordinary Americans like you and me would be catastrophic. The resulting global depression would make the great depression of the 1930’s seem like a Sunday picnic.

Worst of all, America would not be able to borrow money anymore, anywhere anytime. Who would lend money to America if it won’t pay it back? Say goodbye to your Social Security, your Medicare, Medicaid, and every other government social program. If you think that the leftists are whining too much now, just wait until the government runs out of cash and can’t borrow any more.

Again, the only reasonable responsible solution is to stop spending money that we don’t have and drastically cut spending for anything that is not absolutely necessary. That means cutting every category of government spending until in hurts, including the bloated budgets of all three branches of government, the military, homeland security, every cabinet department and agency, all entitlements, social programs, all discretionary and non-discretionary spending.  

Just the outrageous spending on the office of POTUS alone, for example, which includes two massively expensive Air force One jumbo jets, huge fleets of helicopters and limousine's and all the other unnecessary presidential perks and prerogatives, is shamefully obscene. You can start with your own office, Mr. President. 

I know it’s asking way too much of our present day parasite politicians on both the left and the right to do what must be done.

All unnecessary government spending, please: cut it out! 

School choice hypocrisy

Few things are more personal and private to individuals in a free society than what they think and what they believe.  That includes speech, association, religion and education – the right to seek information in pursuit of your own life, liberty and happiness.

That’s why government compulsory education schemes which require children and parents to participate in forced indoctrination programs are fundamentally unconstitutional. Education is not a proper function of government. Your education and that of your children is none of the governments business.

All education provisions and programs should therefore be private. Taxpayers should not be burdened with the obligation to pay for any education programs to individuals beyond the basic teaching of reading, writing and reckoning. Once individuals learn how to read, write and reckon, they are fully equipped to pursue their own personal and private educational goals.

In short, all education should be private; all schools should be private schools. There should be no public taxpayer supported schools. All education programs should be voluntary. There should be no government compulsory education schemes.  All education should be a matter of choice. And taxpayers should not be obligated to pay for those choices.

But some education statists want to make the choices for their own children while denying education choice for others. They seek to force most children to attend public schools where they’ll be indoctrinated with the government agenda, while they send their own children to private schools of their choice.

They practice school choice hypocrisy.

Sen. Al Franken, a statist Democrat from Minnesota, is one of them.  

This guy was highly critical of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos during her confirmation hearing because she never attended or sent her children to a public school. But he never attended public school as a kid either, and now sends his own kids to exclusive private schools. They go to the Dalton School in New York City, “known for educating celebrities and children of royalty,” where tuition is $44,640 per year per kid.  

But DeVos is “fundamentally unqualified to lead the Education Department,” says Franken as he opposed her appointment. “She has never attended a public school; she has never sent a child to a public school.”

The problem with DeVose is that she wants the taxpayers to pay for all individuals personal and private education choices. She wants you and I to pay to send children to private schools, including religious schools, where they can receive a religious education courtesy of the government at taxpayer expense. She wants the public schools to teach all the children about Jesus. “People deserve choices and options,” she explains.

Well, of course they do, but we shouldn’t be obligated to pay for it.

Both DeVos and Franken are guilty of school choice hypocrisy.

MSU bullies First Amendment

Question: What do Michigan State University statist administrators officials do to prevent bullying on campus? 

Answer: They violate the First Amendment rights of all students on campus.

That’s right. Many MSU students like to mount whiteboards on their dormitory room doors as a means to communicate with other students. Some of the messages left anonymously by some of the students on some of those whiteboards might be interpreted by some individuals as offensive.

So the MSU officials have decided to ban all messages on all whiteboards on all dormitory room doors – because they might possibly be used for bullying. Chalk blackboards are OK. All whiteboards are banned. 

It’s like banning all messages written on white paper and scotch taped to dormitory doors. It’s like banning all messages on all dormitory doors in order to prevent a few negative incidents of bullying.  

 “In any given month, there are several incidents like this. There was no one incident that was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said the MSU director of University Residential Services Communications. “Sometimes these things are racial; sometimes they’re sexual in nature. There are all sorts of things that happen.”

In short, since bullying happens sometimes, the MSU director of University Residential Services Communications thinks it is perfectly proper to violate the First Amendment rights of students who like to hang whiteboards on their dorm room doors.

Students are baffled by the ban. They understand only too well that banning whiteboards is totally unnecessary, that their rights are being trashed. “People are going to say things no matter what, whether it’s to their faces or on a whiteboard, it’s just something you can’t always control,” said one university freshman.

Officials candidly acknowledge that the ban won’t prevent people determined to leave harmful messages through other avenues. Eliminating whiteboards is meant to address impulsive scribbles. 

“These are mostly activities of opportunity. (Students) are walking down the hall and there’s a ready writing surface and a pen right there waiting for them,” the statist explains sad. “These are not things, generally, where people are targeting people.”

I wonder what the statists will ban next in the interests of preventing any possible incidents of bullying – Facebook? Twitter? Every other form of social media? 

No matter what, it appears that the MSU officials, in order to prevent possible bullying, are more than willing to bully the First Amendment. 

Thanks again WikiLeaks

The TV pundits are all riled up again about the latest WikiLeaks “Vault 7” revelations detailing how our Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) now has the full capability to hack into almost every electrical device we use, even those not connected to the internet, to spy on foreigners and Americans alike.  Word is that more horrific revelations are yet to come. Good! Thanks WikiLeaks!

The Feds are desperately searching for the rogue CIA mole that blew the whistle. They’re screaming treason. They want blood. I hope they never catch the leaker. He or she is an American hero just like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. They’re not traitors. They’re heroes because they are exposing government wrongdoing, constitutional violations and criminality. It’s the government criminals who are the traitors.

These intelligence agencies claim that they only spy on foreigners, never Americans, but we all know that is bullshit. No reasonable American should believe anything our government says. They’ve cried wolf too many times. They’ve been caught lying too many times.

They’re liars. They’re committing crimes. They’re violating the Constitution. So they deserve to be exposed – even if that impedes our ability to spy on foreign terrorists. Why do I say this? It’s because our individual constitutional rights are more important than our government’s rights to spy on terrorists. Our freedom and privacy is more important than government efforts to catch terrorists.

These latest leaks reveal that the CIA can remotely hack both your land line and mobile phones without your knowledge to follow your whereabouts and listen in on your conversations even if you turn them off. Somehow they can remotely turn on and activate the microphones inside. 

They can do the same with your smart TV set. It can spy on you even when it is turned off. And they know how to get every bite of information in all your computers even if you disconnect them from the Internet. They can strip your privacy naked and you won’t even suspect it.

They now have malware that can infect iOS, Windows and Android devices. And get this: it allows them to bypass encryption applications so that encryption will do you no good at all. Mobile devices and Smart TV’s are turned into covert microphones that spy on you and transmit your GPS location even when you think your device is turned off.

Not surprisingly, the intelligence goons have not kept all these tactics a secret. Much of this awesome knowledge is already in the hands of third parties not connected to the government. In short, the government has lost control of its hacking capabilities to unknown parties, many of whom are undoubtedly criminal hackers. They now have exactly the same hacking abilities as the CIA.

I think that the American people have a right to know this – a right that supersedes the government’s right to keep it secret.

Thanks to you government whistleblowers.

Thanks again WikiLeaks.  

Public school kidnapping in Buffalo

Did you know that in our “great” country, the United States of America, land of the free and home of the brave, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, if you seek to educate your own children, according to the First Amendment of the Constitution and the dictates of your conscience, you are liable to be arrested and have them kidnapped from their home by the statist education authorities?

That’s right. In America, our supposedly free country, we have a compulsory education system in which statist education bureaucrats claim legal authority to force you and your children during their entire formative years to participate in a government brainwashing indoctrination program. Any resistance can be met with violence on the part of the government goons.  

Single mother, Kiarre Harris, from Buffalo, New York, found this out the hard way when she became dissatisfied with the lousy education her two elementary school children were receiving in their failing public school and decided to home school them instead. "I felt that the district was failing my children and that's when I made the decision to homeschool," she explains. 

So she properly informed the district governmental goons of her decision; took all the necessary steps, filed all the required paperwork and documentation at Buffalo City Hall, all of which was admittedly received by the statist school district education authorities. "I spoke directly to the homeschool coordinator and she told me from this point on my children were officially un-enrolled from school,” says mom.

But only one week later Child Protective Services called, wondering why her kids weren't in school. "I told them that my kids were homeschooled now and that I could furnish the documents if they need to see them." Of course, the evil statists didn’t give a damn about her documents and never requested to see them.

Another month went by and Harris naturally thought that all was OK, that the Buffalo education Gestapo was satisfied. But no… out of the blue she was confronted in her home by a hit squad of Child Protective bureaucrats and police who kidnapped her kids. When she resisted, telling them “No, you can’t do that,” she was arrested for obstruction. 

The innocent children were thrown into a foster care institution and their innocent mother has not been allowed to even see or talk to them for three weeks. The goons claim she never had full custody of her own children though as a single parent she has always enjoyed full custody until now.

Sadly this is what parents everywhere can expect all over America today if they decide to educate their own children in accordance with the Bill of Rights…

Public school kidnapping in Buffalo

The rule of law equals terror?

The Catholic Church in Mexico has come up with a brand new definition of the word “terrorism.” It tells us that the rule of law in America equals terror. Never-mind that it’s precisely the opposite of terror, the Church doesn’t like American law so it’s “terrorism.” 

In this case, the Archdiocese of Mexico is calling President Donald Trump’s immigration measures "migrant terrorism" and said Mexican officials’ reaction is lukewarm and submissive.

The truth of the matter, however, is that all President Trump is doing is enforcing the federal immigration law that has been on the books for decades. That is “not only the application of an inhuman legalism but a true act of terror,” declares the Church.

“Our undocumented brothers are afraid, their children suffer a real psychosis, while the Mexican authorities are not able to act, they only make statements and promises; their reactions are lukewarm, they also show fear, and worse, submission.., They are still waiting for the U.S. president to come to his senses, when he has demonstrated, since he was a candidate, that his method is precisely being unreasonable.”

The Mexican church actually believes that all Mexicans have an unfettered right to cross the border into the U.S. illegally and not be deported even if they commit felonies and other serious violent crimes here. The Mexican government has an obligation to support those criminals in what the Church calls “a humanitarian emergency.”

 “We do not see firmness in the defense of our sovereignty; we do not see dignity in dealing with our northern neighbor; we do not see effective strategies to help our compatriots; we do not see ability or intelligence in those responsible for dealing with this humanitarian crisis,” says the Church.

Now, of course, if you or I crossed the border into Mexico illegally, applied for welfare benefits there, and committed serious crimes, our sorry asses would be thrown into a squalid Mexican prison and we would consider ourselves to be mighty lucky indeed if we were eventually deported back to the U.S. after a long sentence at hard labor.

You can bet that the Catholic Church and the Archdiocese of Mexico wouldn’t give damn about us in that situation. 

That’s because they don’t believe that the rule of law in Mexico is “terror.”
