From ‘Golden State’ to FAILED state…the Democrat way

Californians can lie to themselves about how great their state’s being run…or they can lie to their friends, and vote for the Party that can fix what ails California.

For decades, Democrats have run California their way.

Ask San Francisco and Los Angeles how that’s worked out for them.

Garbage and excrement-strewn streets, typhus raging through the city – it ain’t pretty.

California taxes are the highest in the Nation, yet roadways are pothole-ridden, and its schools rank last in the Nation. Poverty is highest among states – welfare reigns.

Did we mention typhus is making a comeback?

(And don’t believe the ‘budget surplus’ meme…pension liabilities prove that a lie.)

California is a poster-child of Failed Democrat Policy.

Yet despite all this, Democrats just decided illegal aliens should get free healthcare, and legal citizens (who don’t have healthcare) will be penalized by fines to fund the idea.

But, hey, Democrats keep getting elected. It’s hard to say whether people are just mind-numbed robots pulling the ballot levers…or afraid to vote any other way, fearing scorn.

Reminder to the fearful…voting is a SECRET process.

So, the Democrat voters can lie to themselves and keep voting for this ugly new-norm…

…or lie to their friends…and vote Republican to fix what was a beautiful State.

Great athletes…but disgusting as Americans, on a world stage

As reported at The GatewayPundit: “Video: US Soccer Player Allie Long Throws US Flag on Grass During World Cup Victory Celebration”

Reportedly, she and a teammate stepped on it as well. (Another teammate retrieved it)

When teams representing America compete on the world stage, part of their initial and follow-up training is expected/necessary decorum when handling the American Flag.

There’s only one descriptive for such behavior – Disgraceful.

And a shout-out to the teammate retrieving the flag – thanks, Kelley O’Hara.

The investigation they didn’t do that should’ve been done

Funny how everyone’s panties are in a bunch over an UNNECESSARY investigation that was done, but no one cares about the NECESSARY investigation that wasn’t done.

To this day, there’s no federal agency that has actually investigated the Democrat servers that were claimed to have been ‘hacked’.

Got that?

The ‘crime’ they claim was committed has NEVER been verified.

A concise, irrefutable, sweeping condemnation of the Mueller Report

As reported today at RealClear Investigations:  “CrowdStrikeOut: Mueller’s Own Report Undercuts Its Core Russia-Meddling Claims”

We couldn’t say it any more concisely than this: “…a close examination of the report shows that none of those headline assertions are supported by the report’s evidence or other publicly available sources. They are…undercut by investigative shortcomings and the conflicts of interest of key players involved” (bold, u/l emphasis added)

As we blogged previously, EVERY allegation of Russian meddling and collusion was derived from two Democrat-funded sources – CrowdStrike, and FusionGPS.

(Some directly; some by leaking to media, then citing reporting as a separate source.)

None of the allegations were founded on federal agency investigations; they’re based solely, completely, and without evidence…on those 2 Hillary/DNC-funded private firms.

This entire Mueller kerfuffle is a Democrat orchestrated clown-show.

To continue this farce is a rule-of-law travesty, and an assault on electorate integrity.

PERIOD.

FULL.STOP.

Seriously…a former slave got past America’s founding, why can’t the Left?

Took the Liberal readers a split second to start whining over our previous post, exposing their stunning dishonesty in efforts to tear down our great Nation.

Sorry, libs, that’s the way it is. Your darling Colin Kaepernick opened the door, trying to use a former slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass to make a deceitful point.

All we did was point out that even 11 years BEFORE slavery ended, Mr. Douglass, a former slave, was willing to acknowledge the greatness of the Founding Fathers…

…and fully embraced the honor of American citizenship after slavery was ended.

He LIVED IT, got past it, and embraced America for all its glory…why can’t you?

There’s a stunning dishonesty in today’s anti-American rhetoric

Using out-of-context events to justify anti-American sentiment is extreme dishonesty, and intellectually lazy…but that’s what the Left does in order to drive their point home.

A washed up NFL player sponsored by Nike Corp continued his deceit about why the United States of America is so undeserving of July 4th patriotic recognition.

Nike introduced a sneaker with a 1776 Betsy Ross American flag, and he protested it as invoking a dishonorable slavery past at the Nation’s founding; then piled on with more, by citing former slave Frederick Douglass from an 1852 July 4th speech.

Douglass said “This Fourth July is yours, not mine” in the context of slavery which still existed in 1852. But to cite Douglass’s disavowing the Nation’s 4th of July before slavery was ended, yet fail to cite his embrace of America after, is extreme deceit.

What did he say after the Emancipation was signed in 1863?

“I stand here tonight not only as a colored man and an American, but by the express decision of the Attorney-General of the United States, as a colored citizen, having, in common with all other citizens, a stake in the safety, prosperity, honor, and glory of a common country. There are certain great national acts, which by their relation to universal principles, properly belong to the whole human family, and Abraham Lincoln’s Proclamation of the 1st of January, 1863 is one of these acts. Henceforth shall that day take rank with the Fourth of July.” (bold, u/l emphasis added)

Once a slave, the words of a man embracing and proud of American citizenship.

Yes, in 1852 Douglass disavowed July 4th…yet, before doing so he also said:

Fellow Citizens, I am not wanting in respect for the fathers of this republic. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. They were great men too – great enough to give frame to a great age. It does not often happen to a nation to raise, at one time, such a number of truly great men. The point from which I am compelled to view them is not, certainly, the most favorable; and yet I cannot contemplate their great deeds with less than admiration. They were statesmen, patriots, and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory.” (bold, u/l emphasis added)

A former slave, fighting to end slavery in his time, yet honored the Founding Fathers’ efforts and memories. A former slave, after slavery’s end, honored America as a citizen.

Why can’t the present-day Left?

Mr. Douglass would be appalled at tearing down Founders’ statues and burning flags…

…as are we.

The shame of this Nation is not how it was founded…but how it’s now maligned…

…DECEITFULLY SO.

America’s exceptionalism…FIRST to claim ‘all men created Equal’ & rights to ‘Life, Liberty, pursuit of Happiness’

For all that the Left would have us believe that a claim of American Exceptionalism is unwarranted, nationalist patriotism…nothing could be further from their ‘truth’.

America’s exceptionalism is that our Founders were first to state all men as created Equal, and that there was a human right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

No other nation on earth at that time supported God-given values. (Every other nation in the world believed in Government-given values – easily removed).

Rejoice in the America you know, and the anniversary of that exceptionalism.

And NEVER apologize for those beliefs that define our Nation’s exceptionalism.

May God continue to bless this beautiful Nation.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
