Terrible At Governing

Democrats are almost a year in office, with control of both houses, and still haven’t passed the infrastructure bill that everyone, including all Republicans, wanted.

The bonanza bill to spend money on “clean energy” boondoggles will require huge increases in taxes and result in vast government waste on projects with little chance of actually affecting climate change or energy production — a case of government deluding itself into thinking that it can change our use of fossil fuels, for they haven’t admitted to themselves that the alternative sources of clean energy like solar and wind will never really amount to much percentage-wise. That’s the hard reality. Currently, all the renewable energy sources produce a mere 12% of total US energy consumption. I suppose that could eventually get to a whopping (sarcastic here) 15%.

Has anyone asked the question whether we really need to send our 3 and 4 year-olds to school? Whether this is really in our and their best interest? It smacks me of robbing toddlers of their carefree childhood.

The one idea that the Democrats have put forward that has real merit is the required 15% percent minimum tax on corporations. Long overdue that the government put a stop to corporations that make billions paying no taxes because they have an army of tax attorneys who can game the system.

So what have been the real downsides. We have a government that incentivizes illegal immigration. Our border with Mexico is chaos. We have witnessed a terrible exit from Afghanistan that encourages all our adversaries to see the US as a paper tiger. We now have a government that offers Europe no barrier to dumping steel and aluminum into the US — back to Democratic policies that lead to a rust belt in the US and loss of jobs, all for the sake of “free” trade that ultimately corrodes our economy. In other words, relative to trade policies, the Democrats have learned nothing.

US Energy Consumption by Type of Energy

Nincompoop

America prefers to have a nincompoop as president than a true but contentious leader.

Afghanistan — What It Tells You

Embarrassing

Our Commander in Chief at the White House should be called instead the Embarrassment in Chief. We traded this for a real leader in Trump. Go figure. But Trump wasn’t polite but rude and often nasty so he had to go. Duh.

Afghanistan — What It Tells You

Good Trade?

We’ve swopped out a leader as president for one who is clueless. Was that a good trade? I think the country is now in serious decline. It’s a boat without a rudder. And don’t think for a second that the rest of the world doesn’t realize this.

Modern Slave Trade

Arizona

The investigation into fraudulent voting in our recent presidential election is the story the liberal media is diligently trying to avoid. I guess fraudulent elections isn’t important to them.

Benford’s Law

They should apply Benford’s Law to the various states that had questionable voter counts in last year’s presidential election. Let’s see if Arizona really did vote for a Democrat.

Illegitimate?

Lame

More lame support for Israel by the Democrats. What do you expect from a party that wins election through fraud? Definitely not good government. We are in for a rough ride in the next 4 years. Lunatic policies and uncontrolled spending full of pure waste. In the 60s and 70s, this was the party of outstanding liberals who endorsed freedom of speech and other commendable values. Now it’s the party of thoughtless rabble rousers who really don’t give a shit for the country and its history…who actually want to see the country torn down.

Illegitimate?

Lots of people consider the government to be illegitimate based on a fraudulent presidential election. I’m one of them.

Trump’s Platform

So we have a voice again, despite liberal suppression of freedom of speech.

Trump’s Platform

Illiberal Liberals

In the day that LBJ wanted to usher in the “Great Society” with a whole slew of liberal reforms, the typical liberal was 100% behind the doctrine of free speech as represented in the 1st Amendment. This was a cardinal commitment of the liberal agenda way back then in the 60s. It was such a fervent commitment that the ACLU went out of its way to protect the free-speech rights of such heinous groups as the American Nazi movement and affiliated white-supremacists. According to the ACLU, such groups had an absolute right to voice their point of view, as guaranteed by federal law in the 1st Amendment.

But so-called liberals today have abandoned this principle of freedom of all speech in favor of endorsing the suppression of “hate speech,” as defined by them. According to them, and now according to the once venerable ACLU, those exhibiting what the liberals decide is hate speech should have no such right to freedom of speech. And of course the liberals can employ their Antifa street gangs to shout down anyone who dares to express opinions contrary to what the liberals deem to be commendable — Antifa acting in a way not dissimilar to the way the Brown Shirts in Germany in the 1930s went after any opposition in the streets. So I ask you, isn’t this new “liberal” — so illiberal in fact — a pretty dismal comparison to the liberals of the 60s and 70s?

As for suppressing hate speech, that is a very very slippery slope to tread, as the hate speech the liberals try to disparage with strong-arm tactics today may turn out to be their speech tomorrow.

Nothing Good
