GOP to Dems: Here, Take Our Wallet Too! – Taki’s Magazine – Taki’s Magazine

If a freelance investigative reporter like James O’Keefe actually does produce the evidence that our media are too lazy and biased to get for themselves, they sneer that O’Keefe can’t be trusted.

Democrats know dirty politics and play them well.

SPD Puts forth Its Manifesto to Federalize Europe | Armstrong Economics

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

In Germany, the SPD is now pushing for a revolution in Europe for all member states to surrender their sovereignty to Brussels. They are arguing to federalize Europe and thereby create an integrated Europe of one government. It was the SPD that really won in the German 1918 Revolution. Under Weimar, the SPD was able to put its ideas of social justice into practice by influencing a number of progressive social changes while both in and out of government. The SPD re-introduced and overhauled the Bismarckian welfare state, providing protection for the disadvantaged, the unemployed, the aged, and the young. The SPD is a full-blown Socialist State advocate following the ideas of Karl Marx. At theaters across Europe, the SPD organized a symbolic proclamation to create a “European Republic” which was announced from the balcony of the Hamburg Thalia Theater, as actors released the new the manifesto written by Ulrike Guérot and Robert Menasse on Saturday. The aim of the project is to sensitize the public to the idea of a pan-European democracy and statehood. The occasion is the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War and the almost simultaneous proclamation of republics in various European countries. The SPD manifesto calls for a Europe without nations and borders, thus to surrender sovereignty to prevent the resurgence of nationalism. EU Council President Donald Tusk has warned against the emergence of populist and anti-integration forces in Europe and the US. He has thus supported the federalization of Europe pointing out the isolationist tendencies in the USA and in Britain. The former head of the SPD Martin Schultz (19 March 2017 – 13 February 2018) also called for the federalization of Europe. They see no problem with suppressing 70% of the people who are not supporters of SPD.

The Distrust of Government | Armstrong Economics

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

In Florida, the vote was very close. Ron DeSantis got nearly 40,000 more votes than socialist Andrew Gillum in the Florida governor’s race. Then Rick Scott over 15,000 more votes than Bill Nelson in the Senate race. Florida’s secretary of state ordered a recount Saturday afternoon for the elections for governor and U.S. Senate. Both races remain within the 0.5-percent margin of victory that triggers an automatic recount under state law. Clearly, with the recount for Governor and the Senate, the election is just not over. This is quite amazing but it reflects just how divided the nation has become. As the political chaos continues, we just may see the distrust of government send more and more capital fleeing from government bonds to equities. The warning signs are there always. Of course, if the Democrats come in under 47 in the Senate, we should expect that we are headed into a political shift that people never saw coming. Trump’s election has now been validated. The Republicans who retired because they did not support Trump, like Speaker Ryan, completely misread the warning signs. They may think they can hide their head in the sand, but there will be no place to hide. So get ready and buckle up. We may not have yet resolved the US elections, but we now have to turn and look at Europe. Welcome to the new interesting times. How everything shakes out will determine where capital flees to next.

The Aspect of the Midterm Elections Being Ignored | Armstrong Economics

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

While we are still waiting for the final election results to determine if we elected a Bearish Reversal in the Senate for the Democrats, the dust is beginning to settle and people in the political realm are beginning to review the results closer. While many of the press try to claim Trump’s calling the election a victory is false, in fact, they are dead wrong. It is now clearly established that Donald Trump’s election was by no means an accident or some one-time fluke. His victory in the Senate clearly established for the first time that a populist can retain power for more than a single election. Now Trump still has a hold on the Senate and the rest of the Republicans will begin to take him more seriously. That means his nominations for various posts can be expected to push through and the Democrats will be powerless to stop that position. The Democratic victory in the House is really like Don Quijote fighting windmills. Yes, they will now have subpoena power to go after Trump. But the House can bring an impeachment against the President and need 258 votes to do so, but the trial must take place in the Senate. The Democratic party will hold anywhere between 46 and 48 seats in the US Senate and that means it was a NET LOSS and there is NO CHANCE they will be able to take the Senate before 2024. The Democratic party currently holds 49 seats and if they come in at 46, that will be a MAJOR sell signal for the Democrats moving forward. They will do their best to obstruct Trump for the next two years in a desperate hope of winning the White House in 2020. Yet they may appear so obstructive, it could easily come back to push them down significantly if they end up with less than 47 seats in the Senate.

I think this truth is beginning to settle in, especially with Sessions being removed.
