Rethinking History


As an idealistic, dewy-eyed young man, I was appalled by the Watergate scandal. As a result, I wore an American flag pin upside down  on my lapel and felt vindicated when President Nixon gave that theatrical wave as he entered the helicopter leaving the White House after resigning. The good guys had won ... and the "idealistic" media had saved our nation from scum the likes of Tricky Dick.

With all that is happening now, I am beginning to rethink my condemnation of Richard Nixon ... and realize that the media are not always acting out of idealism. The Watergate "plumbers" were, after all, just trying to find in the DNC the source of all the leaks emanating from the Nixon White House. Yes, this was an illegal act ... but so was this Democrat leaking.  The Left and the main stream media have an appalling well-honed knack of making a sow's ear out of a silk purse ... and they're at it again.  ... trying to take down Donald Trump. Maybe this time the American people will understand what is really going on behind that newsprint curtain ...

Freedom of the Depressed

















The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has quietly become a propaganda ministry of the Obama administration … spoon-feeding information to reporters and Congressional visitors to the camps housing this new wave of illegal immigrants. But what is depressingly outrageous is a series of restriction it imposes on them before they are allowed into these facilities, viz: 
- No recording devices will be allowed
- No questions will be allowed during the tour
- No interacting with staff and children at the shelter
- We ask that your questions be provided via email or phone after the tour to Kenneth Wolfe
- HHS ACF public affairs will provide answers to your follow up questions as quickly as    possible- We will provide photos of the facility after the tour
- There will be no on-site interviews by HHS staff before or after the tour, all inquiries go to  Kenneth Wolfe 
 These constraints are clearly in violation of the first amendment of our Constitution and the fact that most reporters and Congressmen have abided by them is discouraging beyond expression. Yes, Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla.) has objected but, in my opinion, not strenuously enough. Just the fact that these visits need to be scheduled days in advance indicates the degree to which HHS is trying to stifle the information flow out of these camps … see: National Review Story. How about a little civil disobedience … anyone?

Two weeks ago I asked a series of questions about this situation that I thought needed answers … see: Death Trains. Has anyone seen even a semblance of reportage on these issues in the main stream media? This is the real tragedy that is occurring surrounding this immigration influx ... along with the fact that there is anyone defending this BS. Here is the text of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights in our Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
In their naivete the framers of the Constitution neglected to include the Executive branch in this restrictive covenant … because of their dewy-eyed assumption that this branch was only to administer (faithfully) the laws passed by Congress. In six short years we have seen this assumption knocked into a cocked hat.

I greatly fear that we are approaching a Constitutional crisis … if not already there.

Quote of the Day

Since you probably won't hear this in the Main Stream Media, I thought I would share it with you here.  New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie, was commenting on President Obama's reticence to get involved in the Congressional Super Committee's (failed) deliberations to reduce our government's deficit.  This was because Obama thought that this process was doomed from the beginning.  Christie said to The Barry, "What the hell are we paying you for?"  See: Politico's Take


By the bye, CBS News does have some weasel-words on this Christie broadside, but suggests that he might also be directing his comments toward the Super Committee.  See what I mean here: CBS's Take
