Obvious Truth

A police force that is forbidden from exercising soft authority, even hard authority when required to keep the peace, is not a police force ... it’s a Cub Scout troop. And those who automatically equate the exercise of authority with Fascism are not just gullible ... they are criminally naive.

Pulling the Wool

Today’s vote on the Impeachment Inquiry is a sham. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff have tried to pull the wool over the American voters eyes. Instead of a traditional impeachment process like what was used for Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, the vote taken today is for a process so unfair, so dictatorial that Democrats are hoping that American voters don’t find them out.

Well, I will do my small part here to burst that balloon. Two days ago I referenced this resolution ... and I need to repeat the actual plain text HERE. Republicans yesterday tried to amend this bill to make it passably fair. All 17 attempts were beaten back by the House Democrat majority ... see: C-SPAN video of Rules Committee meeting. Kind reader, take at least a half hour to watch what these Dems are pushing with this phony resolution.

Basically, instead of opening an impeachment inquiry in the Judiciary Committee, this resolution authorizes seven other committees to conduct fishing expeditions to try to find some dirt on Trump. (Perhaps, he once kicked a puppy?) And each of these House committees are given the same Gustapo-like authorities that Sniff has been using in his secret Star Chamber — no White House Counsel, no right to call witnesses, the opposition can only ask questions approved by the chairman, etc. These tactics are draconian, yet the Dems somehow think they are being fair. Their white-hot hate of Trump has obviously twisted their logic into unconstitutional illogic.

It is only after these effective seven special prosecutors have completed their fishing trips that the Judiciary Committee comes into play ... like what happened with Nixon and Bill Clinton. I can’t imagine that this might not happen until late next year. How interesting?

The Dems today might succeed in pulling the wool over America’s eyes ... but I can’t fathom the damage that this process will have done to our legislative process. Basically, they will be then empowered to negate the powers of the presidency with Fascrism dressed up as faux fairness.

Afterward: Even though this resolution is more onerous than the present process, the Dems will use this fake vote to try to badger Trump into cooperating with these 7 committee chairmen ... and most of the media will concur. Will theAmerican people understand this scam ... or is it too much in the weeds? Pelosi is betting on the latter.

Newest Newspeak

Hate is love ... peace through violence ... suppressing free speech is Constitutional ... being attacked is incitement ... denouncing the KKK is racist ... rioting is peace-loving ... castigating neo-Nazi is anti-Semitic ... killing cops is justified payback ... enforcing immigration law is xenophobic ... embracing Afro-American leaders is racism ... refuting fake media news is anti-American ... black-masked fascism is patriotic ... fighting terrorism is Islamophobic ... telling it like it is, is lying -- some of the newest Newspeak

Banned in Boston

In a chapter out of George Orwell, the pompous powers that be shut down free speech on the Boston Common Saturday in a cute bit of "civic concern." I have no idea what ideas were going to be expressed at the rotunda there because they weren't expressed. Some speakers were physically kept from reaching this platform in the name of "safety." Thousands of self-righteous counter-demonstrators, a few dressed in black with black masks no less, assembled there to show their hatred of "hate speech" ... defined as anything that might possibly go against the grain of their orthodoxy.

I seriously doubt that there would have been any truly obnoxious rhetoric coming from these few speakers who were scurried away in police squad cars before word one. ... but then, we will never know ... because fascism took hold to suppress ... fascism. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and his phalanx of police officers kept his city sanitized from the imagined invective. After all, the ironic motif of this rally was in support of our First Amendment guaranteeing free speech and, in the process, Boston crushed free speech.

Afterward: Whatever happened to "defend to the death their fight to say it"? Is it now "defend to being slightly uncomfortable their right to say it"?
