Trump's Steel Tariffs Will Help, Not Hurt, China [Full Thread]
Post Date: 2018-03-06 06:07:44 by Deckard

The proposed tariffs are an exercise in ego, not economics.President Donald Trump apparently believes that "trade wars are good, and easy to win." They are neither. And, in fact, Trump's plan to slap a 25 percent tariff on all steel imports—something the president is considering as a way to help American steel manufacturers by protecting them from international competition—might indirectly boost China's steel industry while punishing some of America's top allies and trading partners, along with the very American workers the president supposedly wants to help. If the tariffs trigger a trade war, something analysts say could happen, then China probably stands ...
The Politicization of the FBI

Over the past year, facts have emerged that suggest there was a plot by high-ranking FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) officials in the Obama administration, acting under color of law, to exonerate Hillary Clinton of federal crimes and then, if she lost the election, to frame Donald Trump and his campaign for colluding with Russia to steal the presidency. This conduct was not based on mere bias, as has been widely claimed, but rather on deeply felt animus toward Trump and his agenda. In the course of this plot, FBI Director James Comey, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI Deputy Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok, Strzok’s paramour ...
The Right’s Failure to Call Out Trump on Gun Control Proves Brainwashing Power of 2-Party Paradigm

Last week, President Donald Trump betrayed his base and Americans in general as he advocated for confiscating guns with no due process. “I like taking the guns early like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety and gun violence. “Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump said. This blatant attack on the very thing that makes America great, due process, has been in the making since before the Florida shooting, but Trump appears to be striking while the iron is hot. And his supporters couldn’t care less. ...

The Myth of Global Markets Explains Why The DC UniParty View POTUS Trump As a Risk To Their World Order

If the U.S. were to exit NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), the price you pay for most foodstuff at the grocery store would drop 10% in the first quarter and likely drop 20% or more by the end of the first year. Here’s why:
Approximately a decade ago the U.S. Dept of Agriculture stopped using U.S. consumer food prices within the reported measures of inflation. The food sector joined the ranks of fuel and energy prices in no longer being measured to track core inflation and backdrop Fed monetary policy. Not coincidentally this was simultaneous to U.S. consumers seeing massive inflation in the same highly consumable sector.
There are massive international corporate and ...
When It Comes to Pot, Pain, and Cancer, Jeff Sessions Is An Idiot [Full Thread]

I am a stage-four cancer survivor. No, that's wrong. I'm not a survivor. I beat cancer's ass into the ground, dusted myself off, and proceeded on with life. I don't consider myself, or the millions of other people who deal with life-threatening or chronic conditions, a victim. We are not. But surely, patients have enough to manage already without the idiocy rattling through Attorney General Jeff Sessions' teeth every time he opines on opiods, cannabis, and pain management. That's right, I said it. Someone had to. Jeff Sessions is an idiot. The problem is plain for anyone who has had an experience like mine to see: Our top federal law enforcement officer has no idea ...
SOCIETYCOMMENTARY Closing Mental Institutions Made Us More Vulnerable to Mass Shootings
Post Date: 2018-02-28 07:37:52 by Gatlin

A liberal-created failure that goes entirely ignored is the left’s harmful agenda for society’s most vulnerable people—the mentally ill. Eastern State Hospital, built in 1773 in Williamsburg, Virginia, was the first public hospital in America for the care and treatment of the mentally ill. Many more followed. Much of the motivation to build more mental institutions was to provide a remedy for the maltreatment of mentally ill people in our prisons. According to professor William Gronfein at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, by 1955 there were nearly 560,000 patients housed in state mental institutions across the nation. By 1977, the population of mental ...
Guarding the children...

Guarding the children... Probably the only to way to protect children in the classroom, is to have an armed guard in every classroom, and at all school activities.. The solution might be to have a parent, -- one child's parent, - in every class (a volunteer parent with a cc permit). Such parents could volunteer to attend one of their children's classes on a day to day basis, --- granted, - it will be difficult to find enough parents with the concealed carry training, and the time to spare. Many more school shootings, and we may find more out of work parents (and some employed) --- willing to qualify, and to devote several hours a week to this scheme.. After all, who has more ...

Kelly Guthrie Raley has been teaching for 20 years and currently educates kids at Eustis Middle School in Lake County, Florida. Just last month she was named the 2017-2018 Teacher of the Year. The day after the horrific shooting that took place at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, she posted a rant on Facebook that has since gone viral. In the post, she talked about parental responsibility, compassion, and respect…and more than 823,000 people have “liked” the post and agreed with it, while more than 649,000 have shared it with others. Here’s what Mrs. Raley had to say. Okay, I’ll be the bad guy and say what no one else is brave enough to ...
Congress should close the loophole allowing warrantless digital car searches
Post Date: 2018-02-26 11:02:47 by Deckard

Most Americans expect the Fourth Amendment — which protects individuals from illegal searches — to extend to their digital lives.In general, this expectation matches reality: unless law enforcement comes knocking with a warrant, the government cannot search a person’s phone or computer. However, cars are treated differently, and as “connected cars” become increasingly linked to people’s digital identities, there is a risk that police will use this exception to conduct digital searches without warrants.Congress should close this loophole.The Fourth Amendment is the cornerstone of people’s right to privacy and freedom from government intrusion in the United ...
“heroes” Value Their Privacy – But Not Ours

Here’s a video showing some “heroes” unhappy about a pair of guys taking video of the outside their nest – which is public property and which the citizens therefore have every legal right to take video of. But the “heroes” do not like this. They never do. Notwithstanding that it is legal. Mark that. When a law doesn’t suit them, they obey it grudgingly – or simply ignore it. They take filming them as an implicit challenge, an affront to their privacy and peace – which of course are sacred. Whereas ours is held in absolute contempt by them, to be violated at will whenever they feel so inclined. The law reflects this stilted standard, too. ...
Mass Shootings: Drugs, media and guns.

We've already learned that arguing about the causes of the mass shootings problem does nothing to change the situation. It is therefore incumbent upon us to look toward finding a solution. Based on how divided we are and how many tragic shootings happen almost daily in this country, this seems to be a difficult undertaking. Drugs - It is easy for some ignorant know-it-alls to use flawed reasoning and jump to the unsubstantiated conclusion that since some mass shooters were on psychiatric drugs, it was therefore the psychiatric drugs that caused the shooters to commit mass murders. Studies show that 1 out of 6 people in America are on psychiatric drugs. If it is as some conclude, ...
More Gun Violence: Let’s Look Beyond Politics
Post Date: 2018-02-21 06:06:17 by Deckard

Another terrible school shooting took place in Parkland, Florida last week and unfortunately many politicians and pundits have used the tragedy – as they often do – to push their own agenda. Many will use the tragedy to argue that Americans should be prohibited from owning guns. As if anti-gun laws would dissuade a disturbed or violent individual intent on causing harm. Those intent on mass murder don’t obey gun laws. For example, why do those calling for more gun control remain silent when armed federal agents raid Amish farms to stop them from selling raw milk? This shows the hypocrisy of those who call for restrictions on private firearms ownership while supporting the use ...
Merchants of Death: America’s Toxic Cult of Violence Turns Deadly [Full Thread]

“Mass shootings have become routine in the United States and speak to a society that relies on violence to feed the coffers of the merchants of death. Given the profits made by arms manufacturers, the defense industry, gun dealers and the lobbyists who represent them in Congress, it comes as no surprise that the culture of violence cannot be abstracted from either the culture of business or the corruption of politics. Violence runs through US society like an electric current offering instant pleasure from all cultural sources, whether it be the nightly news or a television series that glorifies serial killers.”—Professor Henry A. Giroux We are caught in a vicious cycle. ...
Romney Is a Misfit for America

He has no idea how to make a majority of voters choose him. Mitt’s back. The former governor of Massachusetts and occasional native son of Michigan has a new persona: Mr. Utah. He’s going to bring Utah conservatism to the whole Republican party and to the country at large. Wholesome, efficient, industrious, faithful. “Utah has a lot to teach the politicians in Washington,” he says in announcing his Senate campaign. Maybe. There’s always been something unstable about Mitt Romney’s political identity. In fact, Romney could give Trump a run for his money on political inconstancy. In his first run for the Senate, against Ted Kennedy, he tried to stake out a ...
George W. Bush doesn't deserve the media's efforts at rehabilitation

“Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results,” former President George W. Bush declared in a presumably well-paid speech last week in the United Arab Emirates, a notorious Arab dictatorship. Bush is being exalted as if he is the second coming of George Washington thanks to his implied slams against the Trump administration. But Bush’s actions during his eight year reign did far more to ravage democracy at home and abroad than most people realize. Thanks to gushing media coverage, Bush is enjoying one of the greatest comebacks in modern American history. In the summer of 2008, only 22 percent of Americans approved of Bush and 41 percent said he was the ...
One Pentagon Agency Lost Track of $800 Million—But Now We're Spending Even More on Defense
Post Date: 2018-02-15 04:53:09 by Deckard

"Keeping track of the people's money," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has mused, "may not be in the Pentagon's DNA." And last Monday's Politico report on the audit results for a Pentagon division, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), is unlikely to raise his hopes. The DLA, which Politico describes as "the Walmart of the military," does not know what happened to more than $800 million U.S. taxpayer dollars. The money is thought to have gone to construction expenses, but there is no documentation to that effect. Worse yet, the loss apparently did not come as a surprise to the auditors, who reportedly warned that "across the board," ...

At some point, maybe we should just take Trump’s antics as a givenCan we get the 2020 presidential election underway, please? Like, right now? Yes, yes—American presidential elections already are endless affairs, especially compared to the five-second-long events the Brits like to have at random intervals. Launching the next presidential contest more than two years before the vote would just make matters worse. Still. Wouldn't it be lovely to spend a few minutes talking about something other than Donald Trump? Consider the week just past, in which the principal news stories were: The Trump/Russia Intrigue, Chapter 147: Reactions to responses to points raised by release ...

The un-American cabal The Constitution is under attack everyday by those eager to destroy a presidency

There is no question that on Nov. 8, 2016, we had a political revolution in America. However, that election was for more than the presidency. It was for the “soul” of America and the rights and freedoms embedded in our Constitution. Make no mistake, our Constitution is under attack everyday not only by the Deep State, the mainstream media and the Muslim Brotherhood, but also by former President Barack Obama and his leftist holdovers embedded throughout the federal bureaucracy. Why such a set of seemingly disparate groups would join together is an intriguing question. Clearly, one reason is to destroy Donald J. Trump and prevent his presidential effort to restore America’s ...
The Great Bitcoin Scam

At the outset, let me clarify that Bitcoin itself is not a scam, but how Bitcoin is being sold is a scam. More about that below. To start out, it is important to understand what Bitcoin really is. It would be easy to bore you with a discussion of the technology, about peer-to-peer servers and sophisticated algorithms, but that is not what you need to know. What you need to know about Bitcoin is that distilled to its technological essence, each Bitcoin is simply a number. That's it: A number. It is simply a series of digits, with each number being assigned to each Bitcoin. To illustrate, I'll randomly pull a $1 bill from my wallet, which bears No. L88793293J. Assuming some ...

Are you aware how seriously we’ve gone off track as a nation? To grasp the reality, read this commentary not as another article but as a word from God. I’m not trying to be sensational or provocative but the dramatic downfall of America is scary. The secular, leftist, liberal worldview is gaining traction at an alarming speed; the spiritual, conservative, Judeo-Christian worldview is being dismantled; add scores of broken hurting people being misled into dangerous and destructive lifestyles; and, multitudes of Christians are sadly silent or simply asleep. Here’s the deal: we’re currently experiencing a “breather” due to an historic presidential upset but ...
The Real State Of The Union

Ron Paul's 'The Real State Of The Union' Tonight's State of the Union speech will be in equal measure gloating and glumness depending on which political party you ask. As usual there will be plenty of mugging for the cameras with the artificial idea that there really any fundamental differences between the two. The warfare state will get its big boost as will the welfare state. Plenty for everyone in the dreamland that is the US global empire. But what is the real state of the United States? How about our security? Our prosperity? Our liberty? Today's Liberty Report is completely uninterested in political parties or making bumper-sticker points. We're digging down to ...
Is the Trump Revolution Over?

A year after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, analysts and commentators are assessing both his performance in the first year of his presidency as well as the outlook for the remainder of his first term. Entering office as a surprise winner and a political neophyte, many people didn’t know just what to expect from Trump. Would he do what he pledged to do as a candidate, or was his campaign rhetoric just a lot of hot air to bamboozle enough people into voting for him? One of Trump’s most popular promises was to “drain the swamp” and, while the President has tried to make some strides in that respect over the past year, there are concerning signs that any swamp ...
