All This Domestic Terrorism

Since the death of Charlie there has been a lot of chest thumping about domestic terrorism…..and the blame aimed toward the Dems and anyone who does not agree with the silly policies of Donny and his compliant thugs….

Donny has floated the idea of putting antifa on the list of domestic terrorist organization.

President Trump announced from the UK, where he is currently on a state visit, that he plans to designate antifa a terrorist organization, though it’s not clear exactly how that will work. The president made the announcement on his Truth Social network around 1:30am local time Thursday, the AP reports. “I am pleased to inform our many USA Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” he wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” As multiple news outlets including Politico are pointing out, however, it’s unclear how Trump can carry out his plan.

Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is an umbrella term for groups that resist fascism and neo-Nazis, and as it’s a decentralized movement, it’s not clear how the terrorist group label could be applied. Former FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a 2020 Congressional hearing that antifa is “a movement or an ideology,” not an organization. And since it’s domestic, it can’t be included on the State Department list of foreign terror organizations. There is currently no domestic equivalent, partially because of the First Amendment rights afforded to US groups. Trump on Monday said he would designate antifa a domestic terror organization if his cabinet, including the attorney general, agreed, Fox News reports. In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shooting, multiple members of the Trump administration have indicated plans to halt any criticism of the rightwing activist.

Blondi will do whatever the half-wit wants and put a non-existent organization on the domestic terrorists list.  IDIOTS!

In fact this is just red meat for morons!

For those that are slow on the uptake….antifa is NOT an organization….there is NO national headquarters, No national leader, No membership dues….it is NOT an organization….it is a group of people that are not afraid to confront Nazis and anyone who espouses their twisted thinking.

So for MAGA idiots and their disgusting leader to keep beating a dead horse….most of the violence comes in from the Right….

Within the past few days, the Department of Justice deleted one of its own studies from its website showing that “far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

The timing comes just a few days after Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been arrested and charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering, and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child. The state is seeking the death penalty.

Kirk was a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, encouraging the young voters in his organization to vote for Trump during his presidential campaigns and speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last year. In the wake of Kirk’s death, Trump and other Republicans have broadly blamed the “radical left” for the shooting.

The deletion of the study from the DOJ website was flagged by Daniel Malmer, a PhD student at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill who is studying “online extremism, radicalization, and conspiracy beliefs.”

DOJ Deletes Its Own Study From Website Showing ‘Far More’ Domestic Terrorism Committed by ‘Far-Right Extremists’

That is what they do…..delete anything that contradicts their desired outcome…..classic authoritarian move.

I pity the morons that support this demented slug for this will come back and bite them in the ass….and I will smile for they deserve everything that comes.

+++A closing thought–this will be it for today because I return to the hospital for more poking, prodding and scanning….I shall return tomorrow…..you have been warned.+++

Peace Out!

A Domestic Disturbance Force?

WTF?

The moron SecDef has announced, I am sure with Little Donny’s help, that the defense department will intervene in domestic problems…..

The Department of Defense is planning to create a rapid response force of National Guard troops to quickly deploy to American cities where protests or unrest are occurring.

On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that it obtained documents showing the Pentagon is creating a “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force.”

“The plan calls for 600 troops to be on standby at all times so they can deploy in as little as one hour,” the outlet explained. “They would be split into two groups of 300 and stationed at military bases in Alabama and Arizona, with purview of regions east and west of the Mississippi River, respectively.”

One hundred troops at each base would be on standby to deploy within an hour, while the entire quick force would begin operations within 12 hours. The National Guard will be equipped with weapons and riot gear, and the deployments will be limited to 90 days to prevent burnout among the troops.

On Monday, Trump announced a major crackdown on crime in Washington, DC, by federalizing the Metropolitan DC police and deploying 800 National Guard troops to the capital city. “This is Liberation Day in DC, and we’re going to take our capital back,” Trump said during a press conference at the White House. “I’m officially invoking the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. And placing the DC Metropolitan Police under direct federal control.”

“In addition, I’m deploying the National Guard to help restore law, order and public safety,” he added.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said residents of DC will soon see the National Guard in the capital. “You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming week,” he explained. “At your direction as well, sir, there are other units we are prepared to bring in — other National Guard units, other specialized units. They will be strong, they will be tough and they will stand with their law enforcement partners.”

The new quick reaction force may be deployed to other American cities if Trump perceives that there is too much crime. Trump threatened to take similar steps in other major cities, noting he hopes some of them “self-clean up.” “If we need to, we’re going to do the same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster,” the president said.

So the fate of American cities is left up to a lying sack of crap that makes up stats to justify is idiotic policies.

This smells like an attempt to silence any opposition by using some lie to justifying using troops to break up any and all protests.

I said this smells….and it does….

Donald Trump has opened a new, explosive salvo in his battle with elected Democrats across the country.

By revoking part of Washington DC’s right to govern itself and announcing the deployment of National Guard troops to deal with a largely non-existent crime wave in the city, the US President made it clear that he planned to take similar actions in other Democratic Party strongholds in the months ahead.

Trump’s description of life in the nation’s capital bears no resemblance whatsoever to the experience of the vast majority of its citizens. He described a city riddled with “crime, bloodshed, bedlam, squalor and worse”, and in cadences redolent of his “American Carnage” inaugural address of January 2017, spoke of a city of “complete and total lawlessness”.

Trump himself so rarely ventures outside the protective bubble of the White House that he may not even understand how ludicrous his claims sound to the ears of DC residents. Official statistics – as opposed to the unsourced numbers that the US President shared with reporters on Monday – show that violent crime is now at a 30-year low in the city.

Trump’s troop deployment won’t end with the US capital – it’s his blueprint for America

Most idiots get their info from sniveling weasels like Charlie Kirk…..who thinks it is a great idea for the occupation of American cities…

MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk celebrated President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” takeover of the nation’s capital by calling for the Trump administration to unleash a “full military occupation” of other large American cities “once we liberate” Washington, D.C.

In what appeared to be spurred by the recent late-night attack on former DOGE employee Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, who was allegedly assaulted during an attempted carjacking, Trump announced on Monday that he was deploying 800 National Guard troops and temporarily taking control of Washington’s police department to fight crime in the city.

“Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people, and we’re not going to let it happen anymore,” Trump exclaimed on Monday. Despite violent crime falling for two straight years in Washington under the current chief of police, the president likened the city to the “worst places on Earth” while repeatedly framing it as a dystopian hellscape.

Having already deployed thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles earlier this summer to quell protests that erupted over his immigration raids, Trump also suggested that other large cities in Democratic-led states – such as New York City and Chicago – could be next.

I have NO use for anyone that supports this invasion into our rights….and protests are a right….and crime figures are not fact…..not anymore.

Closing Thought–20Jan20

As the nation awaits the start of the Senate Trial…..how about a little humor to lessen the pain of the impeachment wait?

We think that our politicians are bold when they have a heated argument with an opponent or a voter….but these are very mild compared to the rest of the world…..

These are clips from around the world and the differences of opinion and how they are resolved…..

Parliaments around the world communicate dissent in various ways. In some cases, yelling is enough. Elsewhere, ministers express themselves with fistfights, kicking, elbowing, gouging eyes, spraying tear gas, and throwing things (including eggs, chairs, microphones…). 

In Jordan, after a heated debate, one MP wanted to shoot another but was not allowed to bring his AK-47 into the parliamentary chambers. (And he, or perhaps someone else, seems to be wielding a knife.) He was ordered out into the hall, where he fired a shot, the noise of which interrupted a speech. 

Well, there are limits to what will be tolerated. As shown in the video below, an emergency meeting was held, after which one member announced, “Some are suggesting to sack the member of parliament who did that.”

Violence in the US Congress was once fairly common, as a recent book documents. If the political culture grows any more polarized, could it return? 

House of Pain: Watch Crazy Parliament Fights From Around the World

Watch all the short clips…they are wonderful.

Now that is how we should be settling our opposition…..a good fist and the winner takes the day in politics.

Maybe extend it to international situations…..leaders of the two countries meet in a neutral area and have a 3 round fist fight…..the winner is declared by a panel of neutral judges or a knock out….the winning side gets the dispute settled in their favor.

Pretty simple and straight forward….this is a violent world we live then use that violence to settle disputes….other tan killing each other.

Just a thought!

5 Reasons AIPAC Is Dead Wrong about the Iran Deal | The National Interest

Thanx to the cash that Israel and its lackey AIPAC have spread around the media outlets the American people are losing confidence in the Iranian nuke deal……

As usual their disapproval is not based on any fact but rather on misinformation and lots of cash is available for just that purpose…………

Even retired generals see the benefit of approving this deal…….

In a new open letter, three dozen retired US generals and admirals have endorsed the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran as the “most effective means” to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and called on Congress to vote in favor of the pact.

The letter echoes sentiment from current Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, who said that resolving the dispute with Iran diplomatically “is superior than trying to do that militarily.”

But what do generals know about the situation?  Their rationale does not take in consideration 35 years of hatred……or the cash used to spread misinformation.

At least these people have taken the time to educate themselves on the deal before issuing a statement……something the American people are too knowledgeable to do……..

 

5 Reasons AIPAC Is Dead Wrong about the Iran Deal | The National Interest.

“It’s A Bad Deal!”

I have been observing the debate surrounding the deal made with Iran over their nuclear capability for about 2 months……there are many that do not like the deal that was agreed upon…..politicians, voters and especially bloggers.  In those months there has been an plethora of lip service in opposition to the deal.  In all that time I have heard not one word on why they oppose the deal……….most are opposed based on hyperbole and outright lies wrapped in cute slogans.

You know I might take these people, especially my fellow bloggers, if they would offer up an explanation on why they oppose the deal…..I mean there is a wealth of things I do not like but at least I offer up a reason for my opposition………but so far NO specifics and for that reason I do not reply on the blogs when they write about their hatred of the deal.

I understand all the distrust of Iran….I mean we are still living with the 1979 embassy attack and the hostages…….I understand that they, Iran, is blamed for the deaths caused by IEDs in Iraq……..or their ever expanding footprint in the Middle East…..but none of this is a good reason to oppose the control of nukes in the region.

I ask now…..if you are in opposition to the deal agreed upon with Iran to please let me know exactly what it is about the deal that has you in opposition…….I mean we have the total crap being passed around by people like that idiot broad, Bachmann……..

In an interview on the evangelical radio program “Understanding the Times” this weekend, former Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann opined that we should all feel very “privileged to live in” the End Times, which are currently upon us now that Obama’s negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran

Bachmann claimed that the Obama administration’s historic accord is evidence of the fulfillment of the prophecy from Zechariah 12:3 — “On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves” — and that only through the heroic efforts of Congressional Republicans and their lone Democratic ally, New York Senator Chuck Schumer, to undermine the deal will America be spared God’s wrath.

Just one example of the silly, absurd even perverted crap being passed around for people to use to fuel their opposition to the deal.

Have you read the wording of the deal?  NO?  For Christ sake, how can you be opposed to something you have no idea what it is about?

Maybe a quick read of what is in the deal would be in order……….

The Iran nuclear deal, translated into plain English – Vox.

Now with the reading of this plain English translation of diplo-speak you can point to the part or parts that you are opposed to…..or you could just continue on sounding like a buffoon in your opposition……your choice.

Who is Killing Opposition Members? | New Eastern Outlook

Death becomes Russian.

Putin Did It!

First it was a Russian journalist…..then a former KGB operative in London……now it was a Russian opposition leader in Moscow……there appears to be a movement to eliminate all opposition…..the most vocal that is…….as predictable the news of Russian opposition dying has kinda slipped from the headlines and we Americans have moved on to the mind numbing antics of Duck Dynasty…….

Of course, the world wants to believe that it is somehow a plan of Putin’s……if not him then who is killing the opposition?

Who Killed Boris Nemtsov? by Justin Raimondo — Antiwar.com

Sorry my friends but today is my day in the barrel with my doctor……depends on findings I may be missing for awhile………..but never fear……I will escape and make my way back to the internet…..

By now we have heard that the Russian opposition leader, Boris Nemtsov, has been killed in Moscow during a rally against Putin.

The stories run a wide gambit of who dunnits……from the most obvious Putin had him murdered to some whacky m,ember of his opposition killed him to turn him into martyr……

I am sure that speculation will go on and on until the culprit is caught and then it will be in question if everything was truly done to find his killer.

My…My….How Things Change

From the VOMITORIUM

Back in the day….when I was a protester….and yes I guess I was a radical….I was met with all kinds of insults from the political right and left….well it was the 70’s and I had just returned after 2 and half years in Southeast Asia and thought that my country was traveling down a dangerous path….and I as well as many others tried to change things…we were not that effective….but we did stir up a lot of emotions about the country….we protested for MORE democracy and BETTER democracy…..

I recall slogans like “My America:  Right or Wrong” and my all time fav, “America:  Love it or leave it!”  The political right was a lot more vocal than the left, but we got static there too….We were not patriotic because we wanted to change the way the country did business…..Is any of this sounding familiar to any one?

Okay, the meat of this post……where are the so-called patriots now?  I mean I and my friends were called everything from unpatriotic to goddamn commies because we did NOT like the way Washington was being handled.  My sexuality was questioned…..my education was questioned…..my associations were in question…..all in all, because I would not stand by speechless about the status quo….I was insulted…repeatedly.

We carried signs or placards with caricatures of Nixon as a pig and an emperor and  ….well you know what they were…and we were destroying the country from the inside…we were in essence a communist fifth column…

My point is…there is NOTHING new in the Tea Party…the signs, the rhetoric, just about everything has been done before…including that irritating Gadsden flag ……the difference is that NO one is calling the Teabaggers out as the Left was in the 70’s….they are seen as true patriots and concerned for their country and its direction….I just want to hear one lousy a/hole tell the Teabaggers…..America:  Love it or leave it!  This is the government that the people voted for….where is the problem you have?

If we were destroying America back in the day…then the Teabaggers are doing as much, if not more,  damage than we did to the integrity of America!  And YOU allow it!  And in my day, if a protester showed up with a weapon they were arrested, but not these days….then what made us more dangerous than the mental midget of today?   The old farts screaming in favor of the Tea Party are the same people that were calling protesters the destroyers of democracy back in the day……small world, huh?  Go figure!

A Political Fairy Tale

College of Political Knowledge

Once upon a time…not so long ago….and in a land not so far a way…there lived two feuding families….let us call them thew Federalists and the Anti-Federalists…..they inherited a new land and they fought over how that land would be governed….they debated….they argued….they wrote published essays defending their points of view….and after much debate and exchanges a compromise was settled upon and that settlement was the Constitution of the United States……

It seems that the Federalists thought that a strong central government was needed to protect the newly found country and the Anti-Federalists wanted a weak central government with a strong local one….but finally by 1787 they had compromised on what and how the nation would be governed…they set up the terms for the Pres and VP, the set up the freedoms…..they set up the conditions of government…..(I realize that this is a simplified and generalized history lesson, but that is NOT the meat of the post)

And once it was signed into law….they all lived happily ever after…..

Well not for long…..

The two sides were screaming along using the strengths of their new system of government….those being…the separation of powers to discourage the concentration of power and the checks and balances that kept each branch of government from over stepping its bounds and without a party domination the reps could be more centered on what the people wanted…..but the years dragged by….the country twisted and turned in the wind….but it made it on its own and became a shining light for the world to see……

But all was not good on the horizon….after 200 years of solid and good government cracks began to form in the foundation of the system…..these weaknesses were the very strengths it had in the past…the separation of power started fragmenting the system and began rendering the system immobile (nothing was being accomplished)…without a party dominated system the voters could not pin responsibility to anyone in particular and that lead to the break down of the system even further…the voter was used to set the political agenda that did not really apply to them in the least and finally the voter has to wait for anb election to rid itself of worthless adventurism of the politicians that are in it for their own glory and benefit not the interests of the country…….

The kingdom adjusts to fit the situation…..but the adjustments were beginning to fail to bring the success to the marriage of the two families….slowly but slowly the nation was dying and the leaders, all the leaders were standing on the oxygen tube while debating the need to stand aside and let the patient heal……this system is slowly becoming obsolute because of the partisan crap of its leaders……if it is to survive then the people will have to do it themselves and ignore the rumblings of the leaders that care not what happens….their only concern is that they retain the power and the purse strings…..DOOM is eminent!

Why is the Obama Agenda Socialistic?

I have been trying to figure out just what part of the Obama agenda is the socialist part….I have written many times trying to explain to my readers why Obama is NOT a socialist and why the US is NOT moving to socialism…..I have been asking for someone, anyone to explain the accusation to me for the point is missed the target with me….well my wait has been long but now it is over…I received an email from a guy (I think it is a guy) that gave me my much sought after reason/s…..

This below are the points that according to American conservatives are the reasons that Obama and his policies are socialistic:

  • The United States is institutionally a nation of oppression.
  • Leftist Liberal politicians are needed to “correct” the United States. The United States must also be controlled by the United Nations.
  • All post-9/11/2001 national security measures taken by the U.S. government while Bush was President were disguised attacks on our liberties.
  • Virtually all American foreign military actions are immoral and thinly disguised attempts at imperialistic world domination.
  • We must have mass immigration made easy and totally open borders. Illegal aliens must also be given social welfare benefits.
  • We need a vast expansion of social welfare programs–which will be paid for by ever-increasing taxes, especially on “the rich” who all earn “too much” and pay “too little” but which won’t be limited to just them.
  • Terrorists who hate the United States and those who aid and abet them must be given equal legal rights as if they are U.S. citizens.
  • The U.S. needs to drastically reduce its military spending and probably shrink its military.
  • The death penalty is absolutely never justified and must be abolished
  • The U.S. needs government-controlled socialized medicine under which all adults will be forced to buy health insurance.
  • We need radical environmentalism, the agenda of which is “not clean air and clean water, [but] rather…the demolition of technological/industrial civilization,” as Michael Berliner explains.
  • We must always give preferences in education and business to all people who are not white males regardless of any proven performance or probable ability.
  • Homosexual cohabitation and “marriage” are exactly the same thing.
  • Taxpayers must be forced to pay for abortions, even if they are personally opposed to abortions or don’t believe in the type of abortion they are paying for such as partial-birth.
  • We must have strict citizen gun-control laws. The 2nd Amendment referred only to militias (National Guardsmen), not private citizens.

There they are and I would like to discuss these with anyone that agrees with the list….personally, I do not see any thing that is at all accurate….and before I am called an Obama apologist I would like to point to the fact that I have criticized Obama heavily on many issues….if in doubt just go to my search and find out for yourself….

I would like to put this whole tap dance about socialism to bed…..we do not need a new RED SCARE….we have been there and done that….it is time for us to move on and find REAL solutions for REAL problems……

To Be Continued……..Next Post Will Be “A Dyslexic Socialist!?!”
