Completely Corrupt

Investigations now entangle Donald Trump’s White House, campaign, transition, inauguration, charity and business. For Trump, the political, the personal and the deeply personal are all under examination.

Meanwhile, while Hillary Clinton's emails remain missing, it was her who colluded with Russians to influence the outcome of an election and after losing cranked up an investigation on an entirely false premise.

And those poor folks in Haiti are still living in poverty while the Clinton Foundation is milked for cash for personal use.

No wonder folks have lost faith in their government.

It is completely corrupt.

Halloween To Haunt Democrats

Lock Her Up!

Enough is enough!

The Democrats have pulled off the ultimate deception of projection ever seen.

It turns out the whole Russian thing has nothing to do with Donald Trump, but everything to do with Democrats engaging in the corrupt and illegal activity they accuse Trump of doing.

If we remain a nation of laws, given these latest developments, several people need to be held accountable, which would include many being locked up.

Judge Jeanine holds nothing back, and I agree with her without reservation:

Shock Talk

"They Would Like Me Dead"

If Bill Browder is the witness Victoria Toensing is representing, there is the potential that the testimony of Bill Browder could blow wide open the assortment of illegalities involving the Clinton's and the Russian uranium deal, potentially sending shock waves across the political landscape of America.

Stay tuned, but in the meantime, please listen to this very informative interview Browder recently had with Glenn Beck.

We think, like us, you will find Browder most credible.

Evidence Be Damned

Evidence of the ever changing narrative of leftists and their partners in the news media. Once Trump won, this narrative flipped at break neck velocity.

Attention Required

The Washington Post is out this evening with a story that has the mainstream media, and Democrats in collusion, on fire.

Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador--Washington Post

Among the most concerned is Patrick Leahy, who is commonly referred to as Leak Leahy, as he once divulged classified information himself. And then he did it again!

So, from the completely discredited and partisan Washington Post, tonight breaks a fabricated story with "anonymous sources" burning up the news media in an effort to discredit President Trump.

For those who don't read newspapers written by Winston Smith, it would be beneficial for us to revisit and fully comprehend some FACTS:

1. Hillary Clinton and her Clinton Foundation orchestrated a deal for profit to sell uranium to Russia, jeopardizing our national security. She should be in jail.

2. Former president Barack Obama, who without congressional approval assisted the Iranians in breaking international laws escalating their ambitions of nuclear weapons, aiding and abetting a sworn enemy of this nation in what could only be classified as an act of Treason.

Obama’s hidden Iran deal giveaway

The ruling class elite, working in unison with the mainstream media, who direct the narrative for the democrats, and even some in the GOP intoxicated with power, will employ Saul Alinsky's tactic of achieving goals by "any means necessary."

The goal is to render President Trump ineffective, limiting him in his quest to wrestle power away from this collection of elites and return it the people.

Sadly, we are not too far removed from two other presidents who attempted this act of merit, both of which took a bullet, one fatally.

We are not playing canasta out here folks. Those who champion government control over the people are playing for keeps.

You are in perhaps a lethal fight to keep the liberty and freedom you were given from God as a citizen of this divinely inspired nation.

Your undivided attention is required.

Destruction, distortion, lies and failure. Via Michael P. Ramirez

Selling the USA

There is quite tangled web involving Russia, and of course, The Clinton Foundation is right in the mix.

"At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One."

The Clinton's have a long history of selling off USA interests for their own personal enrichment. These people need to be in jail, not measuring curtains for another stint in the White House.

The Exposing of the Enemy Within Begins

Is the United States fighting to defeat ISIS, the worldwide terror group inflicting immense pain and suffering around the world?

ISIS, which currently has France on edge after the ruthless and hideous attacks earlier this month in Paris and Brussels, home of NATO, on lock down and is killing "infidels" with lethal abandon, seems to be running roughshod across the globe, almost unabated.

Russia seems to be engaged in the fight, appearing to be forced into action after they had a passenger jet shot down about a month ago. Stop and give that a moment of thought; Russia had a passenger jet, with innocent citizens, shot down.

Vladamir Putin is not a good guy, and Russia, without question, has ulterior motives. Russia noted the turmoil being caused by the uprising in the middle east, and had taken action to increase it standing in the region. GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio accurately pointed this out in an earlier GOP debate, and of course, Mitt Romney hit Obama with the news of Russia and their dangerous plans in a 2012 debate.

If we are indeed at war with the evil terrorist group ISIS, why has the Obama administration not thoroughly dismantled their main sourcing of finance; oil. Furthermore, who are the buyers of this oil, and what are their motivations behind helping to finance this evil band of terrorists? Evidence suggests it is reasonable to conclude Obama is playing for the other team, but who else, in terms of the financing, is joining him?

An excellent article over at Zero Hedge asks The Most Important Question About ISIS Nobody Is Asking.

Among foreign leaders, Turkish PM Erdogan is Obama's best buddy, and both support establishing a greater Syria, or caliphate, in the middle east, against established American interests.

Moscow has accused Turkey of being involved in ISIS's oil trade, and has presented evidence backing the accusations.  This credible evidence, and evidence from outside observers of geopolitics and intentional markets suggests it is Turkey that is purchasing oil from ISIS, allowing it to gain strength and standing in the region.  Make no mistake, Obama is fully aware of this and has no issue with it.

Turkey is making many moves in the region, moves that would not be tolerated without the US backing. The actions are generally against the common positions held by the US, but those positions are at lengthy odds from the direction placed into action by President Obama.

US officials noted the oil being smuggled in is "economically insignificant". "The State Department has dismissed Moscow's charge against its NATO ally, insisting there is no evidence to support it."  However, an admission of the smuggling came from Amos Hochstein, U.S. special envoy and coordinator for international energy affairs. "The amount of oil being smuggled is extremely low and has decreased over time and is of no significance from a volume perspective - both volume of oil and volume of revenue," he said.

It is noted that the Muslim nations, and in particular those seeking to establish the caliphate, have a deep disdain for not only the western colonial powers, but Russia, who was a signatory of the Sykes-Picot Agreement.

What we have in a commander in chief; is an individual who seeks the degrading and transformation of America to a bit player, defines the USA as a country that must pay for its perceived sins as an oppressor and an individual seeking to advance the caliphate, where a Muslim country regains power similar to the days of the old Ottoman Empire. In short, it is reasonable to conclude, by his actions, our president is playing for the other team.

In September of 2014, we noted Obama was enabling enemies of state, arming terrorist organizations and helping to create the chaos necessary to fuel the flames of insurgency, all of which escalates the power Iran yields in the middle east. Obama is not delusional. His actions, assisting Iran in forming the caliphate, with ISIS free to do the necessary cleansing, are intentional and orchestrated.

President Obama has no intention of doing anything to significantly disrupt the activities of ISIS.  In fact, it certainly appears Obama and the members of his administration are enemies within.

But, placing your opinion from what you may have read here or on other sites should be secondary to watching the actions of President Obama.  They will tell you everything you need to know.

France Top Target of ISIS

France has been a target of the Islamic State as far back as the Crusades, exacerbated in recent times by the collapse of expected negotiations of territory in the aftermath of the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, of which, interestingly enough, Russia, was a party. "The Islamic State is obsessed with history and honor. It carries a grudge with France over what it sees as historical injustices dating back to the 11th century" noted Tom Olago. When ISIS says they will conquer Rome, they are referring to Paris. Therefore, expect ISIS attacks on Paris to continue.

Written by Tom Olago and originally presented on Prophecy News Watch, we caught wind of the following excellent piece on this subject from over on the outstanding Black Quill & Ink blog:

By Tom Olago of Prophecy News Watch

The horror that unfolded in Paris last week, and the recent downing of a Russian airliner must have left many wondering: who will be next? Which city of ‘infidels’ and ‘crusaders’ will face the wrath of ISIS or some other terrorist group, hell-bent on shedding the blood of the innocent and leaving a long trail of destruction and pain in its wake? 

No nation wants to be next, so heightened security alerts and measures are being hurriedly put into place, reactivated or enhanced all over the world, all in the hope of preventing terror attacks altogether, or minimizing the effects of any potentially successful ones. 

Mali quickly discovered that it is almost impossible to know where the next terror attack is going to be as 21 people were killed after being taken hostage at the Radison Blu hotel by an Al Qaeda affiliate. Al Qaeda is looking to show that it is not to be forgotten in an effort to stay relevant in the ISIS onslaught. Belgium has gone on a high state of alert, which has included shutting down many parts of the city as it prepares to be next. 

Many went into a panic over the weekend when reports surfaced that the online hacker group Anonymous had discovered information regarding planned terror attacks in Paris, the United States, Indonesia, Italy and Lebanon. Anonymous has since distanced itself from the report but it shows you how quickly disinformation or misinformation can propagate on the web and social media. We should expect a lot more of these types of false reports as people find themselves on edge which is exactly what Islamic terror groups are hoping. 

One of the questions being asked is: why France? Some attacks conducted by Islamic Terrorists are clearly well planned and purposely chosen for symbolism such as the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon or the 7/7 bombings in London. Other attacks that are more "lone wolf" such as the Ft Hood shooting or the British soldier run down and beheaded in a London street in the middle of the afternoon are attacks of opportunity. 

It is impossible to know where attacks of opportunity are going to arise but symbolic attacks take much more planning and it might be useful to examine the motivating factors behind the Paris onslaught for nations to examine their own history and policies that may make them a target. 

A recent analysis by Elliot Friedland for the Clarion Project.org believes ISIS prioritizes which countries to attack, and when. He offers five top reasons that Paris, and France in general was singled out: 

1. France has been fighting the Islamic State and other Islamists, and so far has been the only European country to join the air strikes with the U.S; 

2. France has specifically named the Islamist ideology as the problem. They have stated that they are at war with radical Islam and have taken steps against other extremist groups; 

3. France is standing up for its values and seeking to integrate Muslims. ISIS finds this unacceptable. The model proposed by Prime Minister Manuel Valls explicitly stated: “We seek to establish a model of Islam that is fully integrated, fully compatible with the values of the Republic.” 

4. Paris represents the enlightenment values of Western civilization. ISIS derides Paris as “the capital of prostitution and vice, the lead carrier of the cross in Europe - Paris.” 

5. The Islamic State is obsessed with history and honor. It carries a grudge with France over what it sees as historical injustices dating back to the 11th century, and now seeks to re-assert itself over Europe whilst taking the form the revived Muslim Caliphate. 

None of the above are reasons that would resonate with civilized modern society, yet as usually happens, such attacks still tend to motivate other potential terrorists to launch their own offensives. They thrive on riding the publicity waves as far as possible, while media interest and social focus on terror is still at its highest. 

Ryan Mauro of ClarionProject.org suggests that there are several ISIS threats that now loom large: 

1. “Copycat" attacks by the Islamic State and other Islamist terrorist supporters, including those who are loyal to Al-Qaeda, who want to show that the group hasn't become a ‘has-been’ in the jihadist world - such as Mali. 

2. There are those who will worry that they might now lose their chance to strike and earn their ticket to Paradise by dying in jihad as a "martyr." Supporters of the Islamic State have every reason to expect Western governments to become extra aggressive in rounding up possible terrorists. ISIS supporters who believe they are on the authorities' radar could choose to act sooner instead of patiently preparing their plot and risk being foiled, as suggested by the terror alert in Belgium. 

Mauro believes that the recent attacks will earn ISIS a wave of recruits and encourage the millions of Islamic State supporters who have yet to take up arms finally to act upon their beliefs. The West will need to push back and counteract the ISIS propaganda scores, by persistently reminding ISIS and the world of the group’s failures, mistakes and acts of terror, all carried out in the name of Islam. 

In a recent analysis published in Christian Headlines.com, Ayman S. Ibrahim states four ways that ISIS bases its acts of violence on religion, and why it matters: 

1. ISIS based its actions on a literal reading of the Qur'an. It views itself as truly Islamic and claims its actions are supported by the Qur'an. 

2. For ISIS followers, France is at war with Islam. The ISIS-issued statement that accepted responsibility for the attacks portrays France (and its allies) as Crusaders, literally “the holders of the Cross,” portraying the war in purely religious terms. 

3. The attacks were meant to imitate seventh-century raids led by the Prophet Muhammad. The statement identified the Paris attacks using the Arabic term “ghazwa”, meaning ‘battle’. This term is said to have been primarily used in the biography of Muhammad, in reference to his raids and expeditions against the non-Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula in the seventh century. 

4. The terrorists viewed themselves as martyrs for Islam. They died, the statement said, to support the cause of the true religion and in fulfillment of the charges of the Prophet Muhammad to humiliate enemies, rubbing “their noses in the dusty ground.” 

Ayman concludes that to claim that all Muslims are terrorists is far from correct, but to deny or underestimate the significant power and influence of some Islamic texts and specific interpretations of them is not prudent, either.

Deal of the Century

Utilizing the brilliance of the editorial cartoons of Investors Business Daily's Michael Ramirez, a summarization of the Iran nuclear deal is presented in far greater eloquence and brevity than I could muster.

Obviously, I cannot stand President Obama, finding him an arrogant, bitter, spiteful and racist individual; down right evil at times and an opponent of America as founded. But make no mistake, Obama is not an idiot nor does he not know what he is doing.

Rather, he is an intelligent ideologue who fields off what limited questions of relevancy he receives as illegitimate, supported by a complicit and propagandist mainstream media who move the subject away with swiftness, discrediting opponents in orchestration. That is great work if you can get it, and astonishingly, he's got it.

However, if the synopsis presented by Martin Armstrong has merit, it would explain quite a bit. As Armstrong accurately states, "Whenever there is some political deal, it is NEVER what they present to the public with such magnanimous fanfare. There is always a hidden agenda".

No doubt!

However, to consider that Obama has turned the middle east upside down and reached out to both Cuba and Iran to squeeze Russia, drawing Russia closer to China is quite a reach. If it is what is at play, it is a enormously dangerous gamble, one with a loss that could catapult the United States to the "ash heap of history" Reagan described.

It is noted, however, that according to billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer says China is collapsing, noting their upcoming crash as "way bigger than subprime".  Russia is also under duress, with reports of coup d'état activities in recent months.

Caliphate is the real objective.  Obama does not hold America in high regard, and wishes to establish a caliphate in the middle east, a Greater Syria if you will, similar to the old Ottoman Empire.  It would appear Obama seeks Iran to be host country, as a Muslim nation rises to superpower status while America is weakened from within in orchestrated fashion by a president gone rogue.

ISIS is doing the dirty work of cleansing, and out enemy within is now assisting in the development of a nuclear weapon for Iran and financing through Iran terrorist groups like HAMAS and Hezbollah.

The United States was placed in great peril with this deal, and future citizens will die due to this utterly despicable and irresponsible act by a brazen president acting outside or historical avenues of legislation.  The Congress, which has allowed his reckless behavior, should also bear responsibility.

Elections have consequences, and with the presidential election of 2012, those consequences will be deadly for future generations,  In fact, this could unravel so quickly, it might by you and I fully engaged before the next generation gets the chance.

With this action of aiding and abetting the enemy, coupled with the endangerment of the American people, treason is charged and once again, I call for the immediate impeachment of President Obama.

Catastrophic Consequences

As Ronald Reagan so eloquently quipped, "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just they know so much that isn't so".

A prime example of this can be seen in the following comments from President Obama earlier this week:

 

Obama is a fraud and speaks daily of things and accomplishments that are not so, but this takes the honors in being the biggest crock of crap he has ever spit out. Want evidence he is delusional?

Beyond Russia seizing territory and China building islands, see ISIS running roughshod across the middle east with not a care in the world regarding the consequences. Oh, that's right, since Obama is on their side, they will be heralded for hastening the caliphate and won't be facing any consequences.

The catastrophic consequences will be saved for those who seek a strong America, thanks to Obama's most unfortunate election.

A Champion of Distortion and Failure

On Sunday, the inevitable announcement came that Hillary Clinton will be running for president, seeking the Democratic nomination that slipped through her fingers in 2008 when a dashing community organizer with spiteful disdain for America appeared as the one the progressive left has been dreaming about stole it away.

Although this has the look of a coronation, even with the Clinton's setting the rules of engagement for the media and potential primary opponents, it is hard to imagine that no other Democrat wants this job.

Almost immediately, her campaign is full full of missteps and mistruths.  For example, she went on a bus tour stopping along the way at a Chipolte (owned by huge Democrat supporters ) for a bite to eat, just like the common man does each day.  Except, this is activity she simply does not engage in, having not paid for a meal in decades and reportedly not having driven a car since 1996.  Hillary is far form a normal person, in fact loathing the little guy she purports to wake up every day to make life better for.

Hillary Clinton in staged Iowa event.

Today, she met with common folk for a chat, even though the "common folk" were driven to the location by campaign operatives. "Everyday" Iowans outside looking in had a rough day, but for those on the inside, it was sunshine and lollipops. For the Clintons, it is all a fabrication, and the joke is on us.

While she has logged many a mile, as prospective GOP candidate Carly Fiorina so appropriately pointed out, flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.  Clinton operatives are out touting her record, recently evidenced by Howard Dean noting she is the only candidate with foreign policy experience.

New flash to Dean; the experience is far from anything to brag about.  While she was Secretary of State, the situation in the middle wast has completely collapsed due to horrendous polices with the middle east left in ruin having become a major national security threat with Iran gaining legitimacy and strength.

Her reset with Russia have left us with Vladimir Putin invading countries and with our relationship with Russia at its lowest point since the conclusion of the cold war.  At best, her lack of attention to detail in Benghazi resulted in our Ambassador being murdered, along with three other heroes with nobody held in account for the tragedy.

Clinton lied about the incident to the American people, and made no mention about the real reason for the firefight, which was illegal gun running. But hey, what difference does it really make?

Recently, she lied about email accounts during her tenure as Secretary of State, where she destroyed emails of her experiences, skirting federal law. While due to this matter she should be facing jail time, it becomes evident that Clinton does not have to live by the same rules, or laws, you and I, and most other elected officials, do.

On a side note, I get real torqued when politicians think they are above it all and destroy documents that belong to the people and sever the preservation of the historical record., where the Clinton clan has along history, inclusive of Sandy Burglar.

We have informed you of the danger of Hillary Clinton in previous posts, most notably in this piece.  Hillary Clinton is a liar, far more interested in self promotion than the health and welfare of America, a country she has disdain for as evidenced by her close associations over the years with anti-American activists inclusive of Saul Alinsky and Frances Fox Piven.

Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to be your champion. I want individuals across the fruited plain to all be champions, forging their own path unencumbered by a controlling government. As Senator Rick Santorum recently said, "Clinton believes government is the solution to the challenges our nation faces, not the underlying cause of many of those problems".

She is an arrogant hypocrite, an intellectual progressive operative with disdain for the blue collar working families she professes to support, an individual who dreams of squelching free markets through taxation and regulation championing crony capitalism in support of self promotion and her political advocates all the while welcoming opportunities to abuse power.

In no way, shape or form is this an individual we should even remotely consider for our highest office.  She is a champion of distortion and failure.

Surrender

With SONY Pictures in full capitulation, and the Obama administration seemingly out to lunch, as Michael Ramirez of Investors Business Daily so accurately points out, a deeply troubling precedent is being set.

Michael Ramirez/Investors Business Daily

Not only are the cyber attacks of great concern, but the diplomatic ground being given up for no apparent reason by President Obama will cause untold damage for decades.

With his transformation fully engaged, Obama has done his best to alienate our friends and allies while extending overtures, if not prostituting the US, to long held enemies.

North Korea, thought by some to be responsible for the cyber attack on SONY but more likely a smokescreen for the truth, is moving forward quickly without hindrance in building their own nuclear weapon. Russia has been given more flexibility by BHO after his election win, and Obama has helped pave the way for the caliphate whose goal is the emergence of a greater Syria similar to the old Ottoman Empire. ISIS and the Taliban are running roughshod, killing women and children, with part of their army prisoners the BHO released.  Obama has reached out to Iran, also building a nuclear weapon, and Mexico and Cuba have had steps taken by Obama to redistribute our wealth to them.

It is really astonishing, and our elected officials are either on board or doing little if nothing to stop it, outside of about 20 in the GOP.

If you did not know any better, you would think President Obama is in process of surrendering US sovereignty to the world, perhaps ultimately governed by The United Nations, an organization Obama could well see himself running in approximately two years.

Perhaps he is.

The Joke Is On US

On an evening a couple of weeks back, President Obama spoke to nation regarding the terrorist group ISIS running roughshod over most of Iraq from their apparent bases in Syria. ISIS is a major concern to most knowledgeable Americans, and the speech by Obama was of keen interest.

You might think this would be a tough speech for Obama, who although vehemently opposed to US military interaction, faces few if any alternatives than to use our armed forces to stop this legitimate threat to peace across the globe.  In addition, it has been Obama who has arrogantly informed us that he kept his promise by leaving Iraq and decimating al Qaeda.

Yes, I am aware ISIS is a direct offshoot of al Qaeda, the group the administration boasted about dismantling.  Like most everything else from the White House; nothing but propaganda.

Speaking of that, the speech opened up, not with commentary on the rising threat of evil we are facing, but a couple of minutes on how his policies has strengthened our economy, created more jobs than any recent administration and expanded opportunities for working class families. A complete fabrication of the truth.

If that was not insulting enough, Obama delivered a few moments of commentary in his routine condescending manner that Islam is not in any way a root of this problem, rather a peaceful religion we as Americans should embrace as part of our national fabric.  I wish I were joking.

Actually, the joke is on us.

Obama has had it wrong from the get go, and if as James Madison told us, Americans were armed with knowledge, this transformative dovish narcissistic neophyte would have never been elected once, much less, twice.

The US interaction with Iraq, both times, was regrettably the correct course of action.  Under the surge, we gained victory in Iraq and gave their people a shot at establishing a sovereign nation of freedom.  They needed continued support, but under Obama, after telegraphing a timetable, he directed our premature departure, snatching defeat from victory.

Without the presence of the US in the region, the opportunity for al Qaeda to resurface was presented.

The actions taking place in the region were predictable, and President Bush informed the nation what we would be in store for if we departed the region prematurely.  Take a listen:


Bush was ridiculed (that Alinsky technique is omnipresent is it not ) relentlessly, but he was absolutely correct.  You just heard the evidence.

Come to think of it, looking back at the scorecard, although the media delivers propaganda to the contrary, Obama fails miserably to GOP leaders on the issue of foreign policy.  Here are three significant examples.

The laughing stock of all progressive land, it turns out Sarah Palin accurately predicted that Obama would implement policies which would project weakness and create an environment in which Russia would consider invading the Ukraine.  Bingo.

Way prior to the current activities surrounding ISIS, the US Military has suffered more deaths in Afghanistan under Obama than under George Bush. There is no daily count on CNN, and Cindy Sheehan is not protesting at various gold communities across the fruited plain, but those facts continue to be stubborn.

During the last presidential campaign, VP Joe Biden tried to scare everybody that if Romney was elected, he would bomb Syria, something Obama would never do.  Until now.

Also during the last presidential campaign, Obama failed to identify Russia as an enemy, degrading Mitt Romney, who said Russia was "without question our number one geopolitical foe" by saying the 1980's called and want their foreign policy back.  Idiot at large, that Obama.

This all would be a Saturday Night Live skit if these issues were not deadly serious, pun intended. If Obama continues to play games and does not get serious about the increasing evils we face, sooner than later, our way of life will be threatened.

I pray our nation remains safe, but should an attack occur,  you will know exactly what enemies to blame; foreign and domestic. No Joke.

Salvation of the State

 

"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives." --James Madison, 1822

The world is on fire; without question.  The list of items headlining media outlets of truth are mind boggling to be sure.  Among the long very long list of worrisome items for the citizenry to absorb are the following:

* The US National Debt grew more than a trillion dollars last year, and is now at approximately 18 trillion.  This is just the number released by the government, with the actual number far exceeding this amount. The debt could never be repaid without extensive monetary operations, which cannot be effectively engaged upon with the horrendous economy we currently have.  Monetizing the debt, currently underway, is only postponing the real pain.

* The economic woes in China are deepening, with the government initiating a "stealth QE" to combat a liquidity crisis.  If you think their woes would not have an affect on our economy, you are mistaken.

* The number of Americans on food stamps has eclipsed 46 million, which is approximately 15% of the total population.  There are long term issues resulting from potential workers remaining out of the workforce, on the public dole, for an extended period of time if one seeks a fully employed population.

* The unemployment rate is reported to be decreasing, signaling good economic conditions.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The administration changed the calculations on how the number is figured for starters, and have been counting part time workers within the number.  The real unemployment rate is in the low teens, and has been for several years, the longest such period of grief since The Great Depression.

* The Russian Bear is growling, with Russia flexing muscle by invading sovereign nations, causing a major disturbance in the Ukraine and creating plenty of economic concerns involving our dollar as we try to implement sanctions on them. Of course, there is no plan or policy formatted to deal with the issue, so we are forced to react to the hand Vladimir Putin deals us.  Some reset?

* A Malasyian Boeing jetliner which vanished from the sky in March remains unaccounted for, and nobody seems to care.  The media has moved on, and so have the public.

*The southern border remains wide open by design, with the Obama administration orchestrating the rush of tens of thousands of folks, inclusive of children, to enter the country through the border. An effort to share the wealth and create large numbers of citizens dependent on governmental assistance, this action was essentially an immigration reform bill which bypassed a vote in Congress.  Nice trick by the progressives without the knowledge of the majority of voters, except among those lovely children entering the US through the southern border were untold numbers of terrorists, who may have been trafficking various forms of lethal weaponry.

James Madison was quite correct.  Bureaucrats in Washington, some who are adverse to the principles which were central to the founders, are governing, and transforming, America right under the nose of those among the citizenry who Aldous Huxley noted would be drunk on a sea of irrelevance.  If in doubt, please the following segment from "The O'Reilly Factor", where correspondent Jesse Watters invites college students to enter his, or our, world.

America is in real trouble.  Remember those famous words from the inaugural address by President John F. Kennedy, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?"  There is a responsibility that comes with being a citizen of this great country, and it requires more than keeping up to date with pop culture, obtaining any and every entitlement available and adopting nihilism as a philosophical doctrine.

 

As Madison accurately noted, our citizenry must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives, to help ensure the future not only for ourselves, but our children and grandchildren.  After all, as the inscription above the main entrance to Nebraska's beautiful State Capitol reads: "The Salvation of the State is Watchfulness in the Citizen."
