“He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows when you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness’ sake!” —“Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” You’d better watch out—you’d better not pout—you’d better not cry—‘cos I’m telling you why: this Christmas, it’s the Surveillance State that’s making a list and checking it twice, and it won’t matter whether you’ve been bad or good. You’ll be on this list whether you like it or not. Mass surveillance is the Deep State’s version of a “gift” that keeps on giving…back to the Deep State. Geofencing dragnets. Fusion centers. … Continue reading →

this needs to happen

Money is power. With all of this reckless spending the government has done, it is time for a reckoning. Demand a balanced budget and pay down the debt. Defund the swamp and these corrupt politicians will have their main source of income taken away. The swamp will have to shrink itself and loads of money and wealth will return to the private sector.

Veto any spending that exceeds government revenue. No more continuing spending resolutions. It will be painful for some but it has to happen. Take away from the Pentagon the money or any other agency they cannot account for. No more foreign aid, wars, or pet projects will be funded. Only the entitlement programs that are paid into by taxpayers will remain. Let the states run their own welfare and disability programs, schools, law enforcement, etc. Keep government and spending local where it is more controllable. Run their own welfare programs.

This is not quantum economics, just plain common sense, which is not so common anymore.

Israelis and their lickspittles pitch a fit when the language of the Nazi Holocaust is applied to the genocide Israel is perpetrating upon the Palestinians.

Going up against ghettoized civilians were the soldiers of the Nazi Party, the SS, the toughest in the Wehrmacht. Like the Israel … Continue reading →

Rebuttal: Hamas, Hezbollah,ISIS, Houthtis, and many terrorist groups work from within close proximity to civilian populations. They also take hostages to kill and torture. They also attack unarmed civillians. When the military of an opposing army engages with these terrorists they are supposed to follow the rules of the Geneva convention when the enemy refuses. How do you win against such enemies?
Their leaders often live in other countries and plan attacks from far away in the safety of a host country. They are often wealthy from getting aid money the civilians were supposed to get. The death counts are inflated among non combatants to get sympathy from the media, and steer the sympathy towards them.
I hate all wars for any reason and I also hate the cheerleading for one side or another from those who are ignorant of basic facts. Don’t cheerlead for either side hate the wars and the people causing and promoting them.
