The Debate

I tortured myself last night by watching about an hour of the final Democrat debate in New Hampshire. What a bunch of myopic nothingness! I swear that the only candidate that was not embarrassingly pandering to “blacks, browns and people of color” was Amy Klobuchar (well maybe a little.) I must have heard the word “racism” snarled a hundred times. 

The rest of the arm-waving rhetoric was centered around various schemes to extract more tax money or silly ways to spend it. Do any of these candidates think beyond our shores ... or other than how to get minorities to vote for them? What about China’s hegemomy, federal deficits, stopping illegal immigration, entitlement spending, Muslim extremism, North Korea and Iran nukes, economic growth strategies, NATO policies, Middle East peace, etc.

One would think that the sun rises and sets on a very few domestic issues ... mostly of the vote-buying nature. What a waste of TV viewers’ time. The Democrats need to do something drastic if they don’t want to be swept away in November!

Ping Pong

Most of our problems in the Middle East have to do with our inserting ourselves in the middle of the centuries-long conflict between the Shia and Sunni Muslims. Our overturning of Saddam Hussein, a Sunni, made the Iraqi Shia believe we were on their side ... and Obama’s sucking up to Iran (Shia) reinforced this notion.

But Trump’s dumping of the Iran nuclear deal seemed to indicate we favored the Sunnis. However, the ISIS caliphate was Sunni-based ... and Hillary, with Obama’s permission, seemed to favor these butchers.Then Trump destroyed this caliphate ... with some help from Iran.

And the Shia-Sunni blood feud is also being replicated elsewhere throughout the Middle East ... Saudi Arabia. Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Oman, Turkey, Yemen, Pakistan, Egypt, Gaza ... all but Pakistan predominately Sunni ... where America has difficult problems ... making things even more complex.

And so it goes, back and forth between these Muslim sects (and other offspring sub-sects) like a ping pong match on an Islam table covered in blood. Unfortunately, our troops represent the ping pong ball ... batted back and forth at the cost of U.S. soldiers’ lives and limbs.

Islamic US Terror

When President Trump started out after his inauguration in 2017 by banning travel to the US from terrorist countries, his opponents called it a “Muslim travel ban” ... instead of a “terrorist travel ban.” After much liberal judicial blockage, Trump finally prevailed.  The question then demands itself, “Has this made any difference?”

To answer this intriguing query, I found the following listing of Islamic terror attacks on US soil ... see: The Religion of Peace. To compare Trump’s first three years with Obama’s last three years I discovered the following interesting terrorism incidents comparison:

Trump — 12 deaths, 32 injuries  ... in 13 incidents
Obama — 84 deaths, 289 injuries ... in 18 incidents

And, as it turns out, 7 of the 13 incidents under Trump were committed not by immigrants but by American converts to Muslim radicalism.

I realize that this is not a perfect comparison because there is still two months left in Trump’s three-year period ... but, then again, Trump did not get his travel ban in effect until December, 2017.

I have thought domestic Islamic terrorism had quieted down under Trump ... but will the national media give our current orange-haired president any credit for this progress?  ... [crickets]

China Conclusion

China has its own solution to diversity ... particularly Muslims and Christians. It's euphemistically called "vocational training camps" where such diversity is expunged. Basically these are reeducation and forced-labor camps where the inmates are treated little better than slaves ... see: AP Story. You really should read this random piece of good journalism that should also shock the sensibilities of fair-minded people. Take a few minutes to see the world as it really is.

As such revelations are oozing out of China, it is becoming clear that capitalism and totalitarianism is a toxic mix. This cannot end well.

Common Sense

Paul Mirengoff of the Powerline blog makes a good common-sense case for stopping all immigration from certain Muslim countries which seem to breed terrorists once they live in our country for a while. He argues that no amount of pre-immigration vetting is going to root out the bad guys ... see: Powerline Blog. Sayfullo Saipov was the immigrant from Uzbekistan who slipped through the supposed "rigorous two-year" vetting process (according to the lefty pols and media) and went on to slaughter eight and injure eleven with a rental truck in New York City this past Halloween. (Perhaps, if the two-year vetters had noted that his first name translates into "sword of Allah", it might have helped.)

Yes, our bubble-headed left ... who believe that "diversity" and "inclusion" are the panaceas to all our nation's problems ... have allowed ideology to cloud their common sense. When the United States was building the Panama Canal, we realized that mosquitoes,which caused yellow fever and malaria, were a major hinderance to this project. So, we reduced the population of the mosquitoes by eliminating and oiling their breeding grounds.

This is, what we used to call common sense. And common sense dictates that, if we want to reduce terrorism in our country, we should stop all Muslims from immigrating from those countries that seem to spawn such miscreants. Just as all misquitoes don't carry yellow fever or malaria, not all Muslims are potential terrorists. But, not being able to filter out the bad ones, the next best solution would be to un-diversify and un-include those Muslims who might become our killers. It is just that simple ... use that sense which causes us to come in out of the rain.

No, I am not calling Muslims (from these suspected countries) "mosquitoes" (an expected knee-jerk response from the left). I am saying that, unless and until we can find a way to keep such Muslims from turning on us with the sword of Allah, we should not invite them into our homeland in any numbers. Someday, perhaps, after there is a reformation within this "religion of peace," then this stricture can change. But encouraging people who might want to murder or enslave us does not seem too common-sensical.
