Too big not to Fail

 

Lack of oversight facilitates fraud.

Total federal spending in 2000 was $1.789 Trillion. Fast forward 25 years and federal spending has ballooned to $7.010 Trillion, almost quadrupling. The size and scope of the federal government has exceeded its ability to monitor and manage its vast tentacles as it attempts to impact every aspect of our lives. And some are just fine with that. There is no government spending program that democrats do not believe is absolutely essential, or that is too frivolous, in their efforts to spend our tax dollars. Case in point; USAID. Billions of tax dollars wasted on programs, with little or no oversight, that did nothing to actually fulfill the role in which it was created. Yet, democrats fought tooth and nail for each and every wasteful spending adventure in transgender education for Sudan and the like.

Oversight for this spending lies with Congress. 535 members cannot conduct the appropriate oversight with the scope of a government that surpasses understanding. The nearest star to the earth, Proxima Centauri, is 4.24 light years away, or approximately 25 trillion miles. Federal spending this year, if dollars were substituted with miles, would get us almost 1/3 of the way to Proxima Centauri. The Federal debt is over $37Trillion, or 12 trillion miles beyond our nearest star. Wrapping one’s head around the vastness of those numbers is almost beyond the capacity of human ability. Factor in the deep state’s desire to protect themselves from oversight and with programs that basically write blank checks, and you get a recipe for disaster with an avenue for rampant fraud.

Washington is the epitome of “pay for play.” You scratch my back by facilitating a contract with my firm and you get rewarded with a $6-7 figure job in the private sector when you retire. Many of our elected “representatives” have accrued wealth far beyond their salary accumulation, precisely because they know how to use their status for gain. This DC two-step is not solely a one-party problem, it is widespread throughout local, State, and Federal government, with elected officials and bureaucrats benefiting alike. There is no rational explanation for career politicians amassing such wealth, other than they are receiving illicit payments. And why would so many of our elected representatives resist passing legislation that prohibits “insider” stock trading by Congress?

For Marxism to take root and spread, capitalism must be dismantled. One strategy is to spend the government into oblivion. In 1966, leftist sociologists Richard Cloward and Francis Fox-Piven developed a plan to generate societal chaos by overwhelming the welfare system. This Cloward-Piven Strategy opens the door to the creation of a federal program of income redistribution. It then becomes necessary to subsidize even more of the poor once the welfare system collapses. The term “stimulus” is simply a pretense for income redistribution. The government takes from producers and gives to nonproducers, increasing dependency on federal government support. A representative government is replaced with an elite ruling class, a tyrannical autocracy that makes the rules and has the sole power to enforce them. Sound familiar? It is part and parcel of the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) policy platform.

This is the AOC/Bernie Sanders wing of the democrat party, one that “mainstream” democrats have little issue with as they fail to distance themselves from its radical policies. Any port in the storm when your primary goal is to seek, gain and maintain power and authority. If it increases odds of a democrat takeover, to them, that is a path well taken, no matter the consequences to this nation. The current democrat party is wholly unrecognizable from the party of JFK. Today’s Republican party is more representative of the “blue dog democrats” that placed country over party, than today’s democrats that will abandon their responsibility to constituents just to undermine President Trump.

Placing some of our representatives in charge of managing oversight for $Trillions in Federal spending, is like making a fox responsible for guarding the henhouse. Tax dollars go out the door to pet programs and money returns to the democrat national committee (DNC) via non-profits and NGO’s that were tasked to manage and distribute the funds to the “worthy” causes. Smurfs were utilized by the democrat fundraising site Act Blue to launder $Millions to democrat causes and candidates. Investigations continue that may lead to the discovery of tax dollars earmarked for USAID programs and money sent to Ukraine to aid in their war effort against Russia, that was redirected to the DNC in millions of donations small enough to evade detection by the Federal Election Commission.

This fraud is happening in plain sight, discovered by independent journalists, like Nick Shirley and James OKeefe, that are not in the pocket of the democrat party as is most of the legacy media. But there is a solution available to every US citizen. The opportunity to win this fight against dishonest politicians occurs every other year. We the people hold the key to hold the wicked accountable. Your informed vote can put good people into office, just as it can remove those who betray the public trust. Democrats, as constituted, have betrayed their duty to represent the public and must be voted out of office. We the people have the duty to elect those who understand their obligation as public servants. We also have the duty to remove those who do not. Make your vote count this November.

 

 

Biased

 

US history has been deliberately distorted.

On the 250^th anniversary of the founding of this great nation, many of our young people are disillusioned, ashamed of our sordid past. We have endured decades of leftist academia indoctrinating our youth with the lie that America is inherently flawed due to its past sins of slavery and racism. That America is a colonizer, reaping its riches on the backs of the oppressed. Many young people have accepted this propaganda as fact. Capitalism is decried as an unfair system that rewards the few at the expense of the many. Young people are susceptible to the siren call of socialism, taught as a fairer and more equitable system. That lie is repeated over and over, so “systemic racism enforced by a white patriarchal system” is believed to be an accurate assessment of our society.

·         Is our history of slavery and racial bias unique?

·         Is what has been and is being taught historically accurate?

·         And how do our sins stack up against the rest of the world?

Slavery was abolished after the Civil War in 1865. Europe ended slavery well before. The rest of the Americas ended slavery a few years earlier with the exception of Brazil, which ended it in 1888. Much of Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East continued slavery well into the 20^th Century, with China still employing forced labor of Uyghur Muslim minorities and Tibetans. Other than the European nations, slavery in the United States ended at relatively the same time as other nations, making us no worse than much of the planet.

Racism in the United States, particularly in the south, was pervasive and borderline criminal. Following the Civil Rights Act of 1964, opposed fervently by southern democrats and passed by Republicans, racial equality began to take root into American society. Other nations practiced racism in a quite different manner. Where American minorities were subjected primarily to economic discrimination, other countries eliminated those who were different. Genocide and ethnic cleansing has occurred throughout history, including Armenians in Azerbaijan, Muslim Rohingyas in Myanmar, Ukrainians by Russia, the Yazidis in Iraq and Syria, the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa in Darfur, and the Bambuti pigmies in the Congo, and these occurred after the onset of the 21^st Century. Millions have been murdered or executed due to racism or religion worldwide since the dawn of humans. American “systemic” racism pales in comparison.

The radicals of the 60’s reconfigured their strategies to overthrow the government of the United States. Instead of committing violent acts, they targeted academia. Radical professors have indoctrinated a veritable army of young converts. Public education is rife with teachers that have “learned” the ways of leftism and are teaching our children a new set of values. These “teachers” have sowed seeds of division by undermining the freedoms endowed by our Creator, exhorting these young people to hate themselves and others. Leftist ideology has unduly influenced generations of young people to embrace illegal immigration, transgenderism, antisemitism, socialism and hatred of American values. This shift leftward of our society has left us vulnerable to Marxist vultures circling, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Marxists looking to consolidate power employ these indoctrinated pawns as an army of mindless automatons to promote their agenda. They use the age-old strategy of addition by division, creating an oppressor-oppressed, victim-victimizer, have and have-not argument to bolster their quest to institutionalize democratic socialism. One of the seven deadly sins that continually plagues humankind is envy, and class envy is the fuel that nourishes the engine of socialism.

Also benefiting from our young people’s self-loathing are the Muslims. Taking full advantage of our welcoming and tolerance, they position themselves to obtain positions in government. Once in power, those useful idiots that opened the door for their ascension, are left behind as Sharia law factors into the equation. Europe is discovering the insidiousness of the Muslim plan for dominance. Muslims refuse to assimilate into the culture that they have emigrated. They adhere to their own customs while refusing to acknowledge their responsibility as guests by treating their benefactors with disrespect. While Americans point fingers at each other as we try to out-virtue signal each other, Marxists and Muslims, strange bedfellows, sit ready to pounce. If we ignore the danger in plain sight, we will soon wake up to find a country that no longer resembles the land of the free.

Marxism and Islam are both a clear and present threat and must be defeated. President Trump was correct, the United States will never be a socialist nation, unless we allow it to happen. Sharia law has been instituted in portions of some blue cities. If you want burkha clad women to become the norm, ignore the Muslim threat. Immigrants that refuse to assimilate, abuse the hospitality offered them, and seek to change the culture should be sent back to their country of origin on the next available plane. Those who reside in America, yet hate it, have worn out their welcome. We cannot allow radical minorities create policy for the majority.

The ballot box is the most powerful tool for a representative republic. We have the power to elect representatives that are God fearing and adhere to traditional values. We have the power to be an informed electorate that elect those who would serve, not abuse their authority. Traditional values reprise the majority in this nation, yet our representatives include those who do not and seek to benefit themselves. Pervasive apathy has led to a government that serves itself rather than the people. Vote appropriately and make certain that everyone that you know that holds your values casts their vote this November.

“People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing.” Walter Judd.
