Musings on the Week
Musings on the Week
August 20, 2016
Nationalism
-
“Here
is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources,
cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and
your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your
country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.” Theodore
Roosevelt.
Politics
– Sad truth is that greedy
super PACs drained the TEA Party movement with endless pleas for money to support “conservative”
candidates while instead enriching themselves.
Politics
- This week’s
distractions from the economy, ObamaCare, and terrorism: House Democrats hacked and exposed and economic collapse unfolding
in Venezuela.
Scandals
– The Clinton
Foundation is a slush fund and money laundry for
converting political bribes into an unlimited expense account for the Clinton
family and close advisors.
Politics
– Donald
Trump must stop attacking Hillary Clinton, so he can emphasize his vision for the
country and articulate why voters should choose him
as the best option for them!
Politics
– With NeverTrump
on one side and NeverHillary
on the other, turnout may suffer for both candidates,
and
the silent majority, who rarely vote, may sway the election for Trump.
Media – The truth is Donald Trump
is kicking butt and taking names, forcing the liberal
media to cook polls, smearing Trump, and playing “Hide the Hildebeast;” how
long can this last?
Media
– After several weeks of bogus push polls declaring
the election already over to discourage marginal voters, normal close-race polls have re-emerged as truth
returns.
Media
– Ignoring the “polls” there is no evidence
that Hillary
Clinton is leading since Donald Trump
continues to draw record crowds while Hillary’s
attendees have to be paid to attend.
Immigration
-
“Every
immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English
or leave the country.” Theodore Roosevelt.
Pension – The Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation is a government entity providing
private pension insurance, but has accumulated its own
huge unfunded liability.
Finance
– Dodd-Frank was designed to stop banks from
being “too
big to fail”; instead the five biggest banks have grown from 35% of deposits to 45% of
deposits since the bill passed.
Immigration
– Two countries, Syria (8,511) and Somalia (7,234), were the source
of half of this year’s Muslim refugees, followed by Iraq (6,071), Burma (2,554), and Afghanistan
(1,948).
Environment
– The environmental movement
is based on flawed climate models that are inaccurately weighted to
deliver global warming while current data shows global cooling.
Family – From the 1970s to the 2000s,
the number of childless women nearly doubled,
and the national data suggests that 15%
of women and 24% of men hit 40 without having kids.
Education
– Alumni are voting with their wallets
rewarding or penalizing their alma maters for their social engineering efforts,
reputation changes, and quality of graduates.
Civil
Rights – Black Lives Matter is based on paranoia (targeted
by police, fear of racial genocide) and delusion
(unable to see reality and failure to recognize criminal behavior).
Crime
- An anti-white Black Lives Matter terror consumed
Milwaukee after a black cop shot a black gun-wielding
suspect in self-defense during the course of his arrest.
Triumph
–
“Far
better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though
checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy
nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory
nor defeat.” Theodore
Roosevelt.
Trade – The
ultimate goal of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the
US-EU Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is to usurp authority of
nations and eventually abandon the idea of sovereign nation-states all
together, in favor of an amalgam of borderless territories.
