Return to “Normal”

There is something off-putting happening in America. No it’s worse than off-putting because large portions of our population are oblivious to the huge events that are slipping by.

What is this sea change? Well, the Obiden administration is hell bent on “normalizing” things. They want to take us back to the way things were before the evil Orangeman started pushing back against the America Lasters.

In particular, we are on a rocky road back to:

- Higher taxes = slowing economy

- No more energy independence

- Growing crime rates

- More foreign involvements contra to our national interests

- Funding a dispropotunate share of NATO, the UN, WHO and the Paris Climate Accord

- Opening our borders and tearing down its wall

- More crippling regulations

- Unbalanced trade deals

- Unilateral disarmament

- Submission to Chinese hegemony

- Globalism ... meaning death of American manufacturing

- Subsidizing failed liberal state and local governments

- Higher unemployment

- Expanding power of big tech oligarchs

- Martial law in the wrong place ... ignoring the radical left

- Propping up Iran

- Disparaging Israel

- Encouraging immigration, both legal and illegal

- Defunding the police

And all this is supposed to be a return to better times! I don’t think so ... and many Americans agree ... many mote than the Democrats understand.

Returning to “normal” does not mean things will be getting better. Maybe we need to reprogram the left?

STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

If True ... Wow!

I know that Trump himself supposedly squelched this story, but the media is so single-purpose that real news seems to go unnoticed. See: Before the News story

Gain of Function

The origins of the China virus pandemic is a complicated story with some missing pieces and I may have a few fuzzy facts wrong. But as best as I can determine, it well might be the result of Chinese research on engineering coronaviruses into jumping species, greater human virulence and transmissibility.  The generic term applied to this research is “gain of function” GOF research.

GOF research is obviously very dangerous and the Obama administration even put a stop to it in 2014 after a large group (over 40?) genetic scientists wrote a letter pointing out the lethal risks. 

However, the National Institute of Health circumvented this ban by funding the only level-4 virology lab in China with two tranches of $3.7 million to study GOF ... in particular, on  bat viruses.

And there is a growing consensus that it was this GOF virus engineering there that resulted in Covid-19 ... which then either escaped the lab or was purposely released (my guess) to infect the world with the scourge we are living through.

The question then begs itself ... who was the moving force behind this skirting of the U.S. ban on GOF virus research by funding the Wuhan institute of Virology with American taxpayer money?

You guessed it ... Dr. Anthony Fauci!

Trump in 2024

Somehow I don’t expect Trump to run again in 2024... he will be 78 for heavens sake!

But, if he is still vigorous and can run (not Senate-convicted and denied this option), then I have a loopy Trump-style option for him — run as a Democrat! (After all, many of his policies resemble old-style Dems.)

What? How could he possibly do that? Well, it seems to this blogger, that this would be a more attractive alternative to his starting a new party ... and the traditional Republican Party was sand in his gears over his first term. But he has a huge loyal fan base who would follow him over a clif. And close to 50% of the attendees at some of his huge MAGA rallies were NOT Republicans! See: Townhall post.

And, it is possible for Trump to run as a Democrat without being a Democrat ... Bernie Sanders did it. And this would tie the far-left Democrats in knots.

Of course there are complications ... the biggest of which would be the primary election. Far in advance Trump would need to convince his base to re-register as Independents or, if necessary, Democrats. I suspect his loyal followers would do this willingly. And, these numbers, combined with Trump Democrats and other non-Republican loyalists could well give him the Democrat nomination ... particularly when viewed against the clown parade of Dem aspirants in 2020.

The vestigial Republican Party would be left with nominating a RINO like Mitt Romney. And the radical Dems would be without a candidate ... unless they switched to the Socialist party with a candidate like AOC.

Given these admittedly far-fetched circumstances, Trump would win back the presidency in a cakewalk. How sweet it would be!

Two more afterthoughts: 1) This assumes we still have a country in 2024, and 2) The lefty media, Deep State, Hollywood and higher Ed ... all verklempt ... would be quite an enjoyable experience.

White Supremecy

 The implication of the meme “white supremacy” is racist on its very face. — Fletcher

White supremacy is not the Klu Klux Klan ...  nor Jim Crow ...  nor domestic terrorism.  Erase those lies from your thoughts. It is a term used to disparage the Left’s enemies with demagoguery. It is the essence of the new racism. See: NPR Cleansing

According to these new racist guttersnipes  ... white is now the color of oppression, colonialism and imperialism ... and must be banished forever! Wait a minute ... are we sure this is the path to a better world?

Yes predominantly white societies have had their share of colonialist instincts ... imperial designs ... and have oppressed their populations. But have not black and brown societies also copied these evils? The perpetrators of these tropes are colorblind. My listing of these bad actors won’t sway you. Only your recalling them will convince you, I’m sure. So try your hand.

Now that you have completed this mind game ... I challenge you to name one non-white society that, in its day, rose to the high levels of culture, science, justice, tolerance and learning as Greece, Rome, China, Spain, Portugal, France, Austria, Russia, England and the United States?

OK, OK ... ancient Egypt might have been an exception ... but that was quite a long time ago ... and has not sustained itself.

So, kind reader, in the grand scheme of things, societies that have been governed by whites have done pretty well comparatively ... yet they are now the most evil ...  how upside down!
