ONE More Attempt by Democrats to Fool Voters

The Democrat Supported Blog Community Says Trump is Responsible for the Bomber

The same Democrat based blog that we recently reported about Electoral-Vote.Com is now calling the bomber the MAGA Bomber and trying to convince low education voters that Trump incited the bomber to send bombs (or as some of the news media has finally correctly reported - fake bombs) to the Democrat targets.

Sanders Wins Casualty Count

They NATURALLY  deny that Bernie Sanders was behind the shooter who shot Republicans at the softball field few years ago, but they are going full crazy tilt trying to tie Trump to the bomber, despite the fact that Sanders' Shooter actually maimed people (Steve Scalese) and the crazy bomber blew up zero, zilch, nada, and nothing.

The blog claims Bernie never incited anything with his anti-GOP rhetoric but claims Trump did incite everything (even worse than what actually happened - which is zero.) And now they're trying to blame Trump for the shooting in the Synagogue and attacks on African Americans, despite the fact that Trump hasn't encouraged either.

In fact, the blog is even speculating that any violence against Muslims, LGBTQ, or Latinos will now happen BECAUSE of Trump.  So they can't even wait for something to happen to those groups of people before they start blaming it on Trump.  Their mouths are already watering for more violence against more groups.

The Democratic party - and especially Hayden Shamel, our local Democrat candidate, and nationally known Democrats like Florida candidate Donna Shalala should denounce Electoral-Vote.Com for these blatant attempts to foment anti-Trump crazies and the blatant lies that the GOP is responsible for fruitcakes that commit acts against anyone.  Trump, MAGA, and the GOP are not behind the bomber, shooters, etc.

The blog is 100% Democrat inspired and executed and it's totally politically biased. If you want real blog news keep reading my blog.  I know neither Sanders nor Trump caused these acts of violence. And I'm smart enough and decent enough to say so. It's a shame Electoral-Vote.Com is not.

ONE Crazy Democrat Website

ONE Wild Comparison

A website I visit in the weeks before each election called Electoral-Vote.Com provides a good illustration of just how wacky Democrat pundits can be.  One of the two writers for the website - named Christopher Bates - bemoaned Pres. Trump's decision to dump the intermediate range missile treaty between Russia and the United States negotiated during the Reagan administration.  In crying over the end of the treaty, the terribly blue fellow claimed that doing away with the missile treaty just because we caught the Russians cheating was a bit like "dealing with drivers who speed" by doing away with the speed limit.

That's right.  The writer believes that we're overreacting to Russian attempts to cheat on a missile treaty. Each Russian intermediate range nuclear missile would be capable of delivering multiple nuclear warheads at a distance of 3,418 miles. This is a distance that puts almost every Western European capital within range of missiles launched well inside Russia.  But to the Democratic pundits the Russians are just speeding and we're just doing away with the speed limit.

What do you think?  Are nuclear weapons aimed at our closest allies just about as bad as someone speeding on the interstate?   Let me know what you think.

ONE Democrat Gets 1 Week Suspension in Minn

He Was Just Kidding

A paid staff person for the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (hyphenated liberal party) has been suspended from his job for a whole entire week after he jokingly suggested sending Republicans to the guillotine after November 6 elections.  The "joke" wasn't taken as lightly by the Republicans when it followed on the heels of two physical assaults suffered by Republican candidates for the state legislature. One of the two GOP victims suffered a concussion after his vicious assailant sucker punched him causing him to fall to the floor in a public restaurant.  He has a four to six week recovery ahead of him.

Representative Maxine Waters Wasn't

Once can certainly understand that guilty staffer wasn't being literal when he encouraged chopping off Republican heads, but judging by the actions of many Democratic Party sycophants or henchmen or stand-ins, it's no wonder the state GOP officials were livid that a staffer was allowed to joke about executing political opponents.  When Maxine Waters recently told Democratic hit-squads to attack Trump administration officials in restaurants, gas stations, and grocery stores, her loyally allied party pressure groups followed the orders enthusiastically.

What Does the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Really Want

It's hard to figure what the party's leaders really want.  They kept the guilty staffer on the payroll, gave him a few days off to catch his breath, and promised to hold his job for him after he did it.  Maybe they didn't send him flowers or offer him a raise, but it's not like they made an example out of him either.  Perhaps after another assault or two happens they'll suspend him for two weeks and take away his executive washroom privileges.

ONE party is responsible for inciting the storming of the Supreme Court door, the inappropriate invasion of a restaurant during Senator Ted Cruz' dinner with his wife, the attempts to force a college to rescind an honorary degree for Senator Susan Collins, and the physical attacks on two Minnesota Republicans.

And that party is not the GOP.

It's the party of Gary Hart, Bill Clinton, Maxine Waters, and a staffer in Minnesota who got suspended for a whole entire week.

ONE More Embarrassment for Leftists

Leftists of St. Lawrence University Should be GOP Campaign's Poster Children

Leftist faculty members and alumni of St. Lawrence University are making themselves look embarrassingly childish.  A group of 1500 is calling for the University to take back the honorary degree given last year to Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine.  Her recent vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court has upset the Alma Mater's children to the point of a tantrum. They consider her finding that Dr. Ford's testimony about an alleged sexual assault more than 30 years ago could not be substantiated by corroborating evidence to be an insult.  They say she is "dismantling rape culture" and that - for them - is far more important than risking relationships with the "powerful."

Collins has Credibility and Leftists Do Not

The degree is not in much jeopardy.  University officials have - thankfully - determined that their school has not rescinded an honorary degree yet, and doesn't intend to start now.  That's a good thing.  Sen. Collins has been pretty determined to fight back against leftist nonsense the last two weeks. She's labeled other cartoonish attacks by leftists attempts to bribe votes, and she's practically right.  I'd sooner call it extortion by the left than bribery, but leftist attempts to link campaign contributions to demands for a particular vote are certainly a screwed up version of one or the other.

Ford's Evidence

Dr. Ford, of course, is the college professor who has claimed that (now-Justice) Kavanaugh tried to rape or sexually assault her 36 years ago this summer at a high school party.  Although her testimony was somewhat vivid, no other witnesses have publicly claimed they remember the party or remember such a party that featured Kavanaugh as a guest. A lifelong sexual offense prosecutor has said that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute the case because of the lack of any other evidence and some questionable holes in Ford's story.

Could Ford be telling the truth?  Could Kavanaugh be guilty? Sure - it is possible.  But Ford's own witnesses don't fully back her entire story, her story is full of things she doesn't know or remember, and there are reasonable questions about the "therapist notes" Ford has mentioned but which she won't release in their entirety.

Collins came to a reasonable conclusion. Was it the right one? Yes. We don't convict people of criminal offenses or even civil liability when the evidence is not corroborated and the alleged victim won't release evidence that certainly is relevant.

Let the Leftists Fuss

If only we could have more and more leftists kicking and screaming in the waning days of October and early days of November, we might see more conservatives deciding to get up off the couch and vote.  Maybe Pres. Trump can tweet at them.  That usually gets the leftists riled and ready to show off.  And that's what we need.  Leftists showing publicly what Leftists are and what they believe. The poster children should be front and center in this mid term election.  So that moderate and conservative voters can see what's coming if a real blue wave materializes.

ONE Candidate We Can Help Win

This is the first in a series of blog entries introducing candidates I support.

Maria Elvira Salazar is the Republican candidate for the House of Representatives in Florida's 27th District. She's a Hispanic woman and a lifetime native of the district she seeks to represent. The district's Republican Congresswoman is retiring and the Democrats believe that former Clinton administration official, Donna Shalala can take the district into the Democratic column. 

Shalala who is not a native of the district has been president of the University of Miami, but has little other connection with the district.  She was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1941 which makes her 77 years old.  She has longtime ties to the Clintons, serving as Secretary of Health and Human Services under Bill Clinton, and later serving as president of the Clinton Foundation for about two years.

Salazar, at 56, is a longtime journalist who graduated from the University of Miami with a B.A. and from Harvard with a Master's in Public Administration.  Although she has not served in any elected positions in national government, she served as White House and Pentagon correspondent for Univision, the Spanish language television network, and is the only Spanish language journalist to have interviewed Cuban leader Fidel Castro one-on-one.

Currently, Salazar and Shalala are "neck-and-neck" in their race.  I am giving my endorsement to Salazar and encourage everyone to support her candidacy. She is young, energetic, a native of her district, and a cultural native of the community she will represent. Visit her website to learn more and to contribute to her campaign at: https://mariaelvira.com/about/

ONE Way to Support and Defend Your Constitution

To Support and Defend

When soldiers enter the military they swear to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies...."  It's a solemn oath that they will follow those on the side of the Constitution regardless of whether the enemy is outside or inside the country.  This election is an election in which Americans have to decide whether they will support and defend the values written or implied in our Constitution or whether we will allow our federal courts to put those values aside and create a judge-made constitution.  As I write, the Supreme Court is divided 5-4 between 5 justices who support and defend our Constitution as is, and 4 justices who often see things that aren't there and just don't want to wait for the people and their representatives to rewrite things.

This Election is THE Election

This is the election that will control whether we can protect the five person majority willing to defend our Constitution, and whether we will build the future on continuing to do so.  Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 85 years old.  Stephen Breyer is 80.  These two liberal justices will be replaced in the not-too-distant future, perhaps even in the next 2 years.  Their replacements, when that happens, will have to be confirmed by the Senate, which is currently controlled by a razor-thin margin of 51-49 by the Republicans.  This election will not only determine whether margin disappears, but also whether and how much that margin changes.  We already know that one Republican senator, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, can't be counted on for crucial votes. She voted "present" on the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh last weekend.

This is the year to protect our Republican senate seats and attack the vulnerable Democrats. We need to hold the open seat being vacated by Sen. Flake in Arizona, re-elect our Republican Sen. Dean Heller in Nevada, and beat Democrats Sen. Heitkamp in North Dakota and Claire McCaskill in Missouri. Wins in all four will protect us against the shenanigans played by Diane Feinstein of California (D) and Chuck Schumer of New York (D) against our nominees.

In The House

But the Senate is not the only battlefield.  Republicans hold the majority by a small margin in the House of Representatives, and that's where we need to work even harder than in the Senate.  House Democrats have already threatened to try to impeach Justice Kavanaugh and burden the country with additional anti-Trump investigations if they take the majority.  The great danger here is not only that the Democrats might gain control of the House and Senate, but that even if they fail to control the Senate, they might tie up the nation's agenda and prevent our officials from doing their jobs.

Its time to start supporting our candidates wherever they are.  We're in a fight to support and defend the Constitution from enemies whether foreign or domestic.  Get out the vote for the GOP.  We need to maintain control of both houses of Congress and the majority of the Supreme Court.

ONE Warning

They'll Never Learn

We have ONE more hurricane headed toward the Gulf coast today with landfall likely tomorrow.And just like every time before politicians are are having to warn citizens and residents that wind, water, and lightning kill and destroy.  I'm all for allowing people a choice in what they do, and I'm all for encouraging people to provide relief and rescue for victims of disaster. But in every hurricane it seems we have a few people who can't or won't take heed and evacuate from endangered territory.  And so we will again have people risking lives to save those who wouldn't temporarily leave even when there were early warnings and multiple opportunities. Then we'll also have people sacrificing part of their wages or savings to help rebuild not only those who couldn't help themselves, but also those that could have.

Every time this happens I wonder how much smaller the damage could be if more people just listened to the warnings and did what even a reasonably careful person would do.

Neither Will We

But I guess, once again, large numbers of people will do the unreasonable thing again.  We will reach in our pockets and make another donation to another Hurricane Fill-in-the-Blank Fund. 

Because, after all, none of us are always reasonable.  We know that there will be some people who were there the last time a hurricane struck. And some of them are going to have the same needs they had the last time.  And they'll rebuild and be there the next time.  And so will we.  Because when it gets right down to it, we just can't help it.  They're still our neighbors and we'll still care next time, and the time after.

Good Luck Florida

So tonight and tomorrow I will think about Florida.  And I'll hope they're alright. Again.

ONE Letter from Feinstein's Mailbag

Has Diane Checked Her Mail Today?

After the original confirmation hearing was over and done with, Diane Feinstein (Sen. - D, CA) alerted her partisans to a letter she had possessed for weeks alleging scurrilous accusations against the Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.  As we now know, the letter's content somehow found it's way to the media along some long and winding road that Feinstein KNOWS FOR CERTAIN didn't include her or her staff.

Now that the vote on Kavanaugh is nearly upon us, will Feinstein find another letter?  I hear that the leader of Interpol is missing.  Perhaps some pen pal of Feinstein will provide allegations that Kavanaugh is linked to the disappearance?

Regardless of whether you believe the allegations against Kavanaugh or not.  You can still wonder about Feinstein's letter holding tactic.  If she really thought the allegations were serious, why withhold them and never mention them at all when she met Kavanaugh at her office?  If she thought the allegations were serious, why did she refuse to show the FBI for weeks?  And if she held that letter for weeks, what is she holding now?

ONE Crazy Lawsuit

Atheists Who Want to Friend Jason Rapert

Today, we learned that atheists are disappointed that Arkansas State Senator Jason Rapert blocked them from his social media accounts.  Rapert is a very conservative Republican member of the state legislature and one of the key legislators behind placing a Ten Commandments monument on state capitol grounds.  Rapert, who has been a target of such groups for a while apparently blocked some atheist individuals from his social media accounts to prevent them from derailing discussions or comments on his page, and the atheist apparently don't want to be unfriended.  They're alleging that Rapert can't block them from his social media accounts because he uses those accounts to discuss the activities and business of his public office.

Goat-man Shaped Statue

These atheists are some of the same ones supporting the placement of a Satanic Baphomet statue on state capitol grounds.  The Baphomet statue is a large goat-man character beloved by atheists and Satanists everywhere.  Those groups believe that if a monument honoring the history of an early set of laws is placed on the capitol grounds, then an engraved goat-man statue is just as appropriate for display as the code of Hammurabi or the Magna Carta.

This idea of theirs is not the dumbest ONE.  In fact, one atheist group has, for several decades, had a non-profit organization that is run by members of one family.  That family (as officers of the non-profit) make over $100,000 per year in salaries and their organization sells books for atheist authors.  Those authors DO just happen to be the officers themselves, but what does that matter? They're just trying to make a decent non-profit.

If atheists can think it's a good idea letting three members of the same family serve as officers of a non-profit and then letting them use the organization to sell their own books, then does it really surprise you that they think a goat-man belongs on the public grounds?

What do you think?  Should enemies of Jason Rapert be allowed to force him to friend them? Leave me a comment or reaction here on my page.

ONE Problem with Ford's Allegations

DOESN'T REMEMBER THIS

We now know that Dr. Blasey Ford leaked her own therapist notes to the media.  News accounts have directly implicated her providing the notes from a 2012 therapist session.  She, of course, "doesn't remember" sharing them with the media, but the media outlet she shared them with sure did.

FOUR BOYS

We now know that the notes refer to four boys being present instead of two boys (Kavanaugh and Judge).  That's what's in the therapist notes. It's not what the Democrats are talking about, and Ford now claims that's the ONE thing the therapist got wrong.  According to her the rest is spot on. 

FALSE IN ONE, FALSE IN ALL

If the media knows she gave the notes to them, and the notes claim four boys were involved, does the "false in one, false in all" principle espoused by Sen. Blumenthal work here?  If it's really four and not two (or even if it's really two and not four), does her whole story ring false?  Blumenthal seems to believe that old legal principle applies when he thinks one piece of Kavanaugh's story is false. Does the same standard apply to Dr. Ford, or is it conveniently waived?

Should the media emphasize the discrepancies between Ford's known contributions to the media frenzy and her testimony under oath?  What do you think?

ONE poem from the Poetry Collection: Unusual Jobs

ONE poem from my Unusual Jobs collection

Our 4-Man Band

Our 4-man band played a twenty minute set
Half the crowd seemed crazy and the rest just seemed upset
As the band's lead singer, except for one duet,
I prayed this night was one that this crowd would all forget

And I thought they might just do that, they were bound to be stoned
As most were taking pills and some were laying prone
No, it's not an easy gig to be behind that microphone
When your part-time job is singing lead at the home-town old folks' home
