Is it just me, or does anyone else see the Liberals lack of consern about the security of the United States? Anyone who has played a strategy game like chess, Risk, or go, knows that you don’t attack a strong opponent from the same direction every time. The Liberals claim there is no threat of people from the countries on Trump’s list of temporarily banned source nations for travel to the US because there had never been an attack on US soil by a person from these nations. The State Department relies on host nation intellegence agencies to vett refugees and visitors. These countries either have no government, or their governments are too busy fighting insurgents and Islamic extreemists and they have no resources left to vett immagrent to the US. Don’t think the leaders of the califate are too blind to see the opportunity afforded them by the American Liberals whose hate for Trump have blinded them to the larger issues.
The Liberals filing suits against the “travel ban” state that there is nothing Trump can do that they won’t counter with his campaign rhetoric. They think that it would be cool to open the US to distructive elements from all over the world so long as Trump is trying to stop them. Yes they trot out a needy refugee or two every time they protest Trump. But their message has always been wo anti Trump that any pro refugee message they espouse rings false, at least in my ears.
In another place. Two pages of Trump tax returns turned up in a journallist’s mailbox. The Liberals are all over it in a feeding frenzy, until it comes out that Trump paid more taxes than he had to pay had he itemized. Instead he claimed the minimum deduction and paid 25% instead of 3% to which he would have been entitled had he claimed all exemptions and deductions.
These observations make the Liberals look as dumb as the Conservatives who worship the marketplace god. Imagine saying that taking money away from the poor and giving it to the rich will make everybody more wealthy. Huh? How do they get to that conclusion? Last time I looked, Whenever the capitalists were given free hands, they become 19th Century-style robber barrons. Just look at the credit industry (where do they get any industry out of lending money for usery?), interest rates charged to the banks for loans from the Federal Reserve have been at their lowest in history for over eight years, yet interest on a credit card from one of those banks is 18% or more. And the Smithian concept that the marketplace will fix it is poppycock. That’s just one example, and now the Conservatives want to do the same thing for insurance “industry.”
Then we have Russia. Hacking the government is one thing, but paying American hackers to hack Yahoo, and then giving them a free hand to do as they please once inside, is not the act of a legitamate government, but a criminal gang. Too bad RICO doesn”t apply to forien states. And we’re still unaware how close Russia is with Trump. What is the relationship? Are you there FBI?
Ol’ Fuzzy is going to try to be even handed every time I file a post in this blog. But remember, some days one side or the other will be laying low.
