THE ACID OF DEMOCRAT ANGER
"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured."
―Mark Twain
The Democrat candidates for president exude nothing but bilious anger and hatred for the president and his supporters. Not one of them ever utters a positive word, an optimistic word, or a hopeful word.
One thing they’ve made clear: these are the most hate-filled and, at the same time, the most ignorant group of people ever to grace a stage. If they actually think their relentless fear-mongering on issues only the socialists and communists pretend to care about will work, they need to be put in a straitjacket.
EIGHTEEN YEARS AFTER 9/11 AND WE HAVE ISLAM TERRORISTS IN CONGRESS??
18 years later, are we safer? Have we defeated Radical Islamic terrorism and those who sympathize with them, encourage them, fund them and cover up for them?
The short answer is NO.
Not only no, but we now have two terror sympathizers serving in the U.S. Congress as elected officials, using their position to normalize and even stand up for terror-linked people and organizations.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, as recently as few weeks ago, August 25th, tweeted her support for a chief financier of Al-Shabaab, the U.S.-designated Somali terror group is responsible for carrying out the deadliest terror attack in Somalia's history where almost 600 people were killed just 2 years ago.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the Hamas sympathizer, doesn’t even try to hide or camouflage her loyalty to the terror group and their supporters.
How is this possible?
THE FOREVER WAR
Four years after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Japanese empire and its Nazi partner had been relegated to the dustbin of history, and America was rebuilding from the ravages of warfare.
Eighteen years after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States was in the middle of a long period of peace and prosperity, and was looking confidently into a future that promised to be even better. The contrast with today, the eighteenth anniversary of the jihad bombings of New York and Washington, couldn’t be more stark.
Bernie Sanders and other Democrat presidential candidates have decried America’s “forever wars” and vowed to end them so that more American resources can be devoted to the chimera of climate change, the vastly overestimated “white supremacist” threat, and the deception of “Islamophobia.”
CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX
I hate science, evidently, because I’m woke to the manifest truth about what the leftist elite currently calls “climate change."
Like some suckers still do, I once believed that “science” was a rigorous process where you tested theories and revised those theories in response to objective evidence. But in today’s shabby practice, “science” is just a package of self-serving lies buttressing the transnational liberal elite’s preferred narrative.
Our alleged betters hope that labeling their propaganda “science” will science-shame you into silence about what everyone knows is a scam.
Nah. “Climate change” is a hoax. Come arrest me for felony denial.
IT’S TIME TO PUT AN END TO THE CLIMATE CULT
The climate cult has gotten out of hand. It now threatens to prevail in politics by convincing the ignorant that the science is settled.
Anybody who has a basic understanding of the science knows that it is not settled. A number of inconvenient facts seriously undermine the idea that catastrophic global warming caused by humans is about to overwhelm us. Here are three of them:
- Emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are causing far less heating than the climate models have been predicting.
- There is no scientifically reputable method for measuring the human contribution to carbon dioxide emissions relative to emissions from natural sources.
- Measured sea level rise in recent decades is insufficient to account for the alarmist forecasts about the amount of rise by the end of the century.
THE THANKS THAT ARE DUE
HALF-FULL REPORT 09/06/19
It’s great to be back in the HFR saddle again. I am so appreciative of Jack Kelly and Mike Ryan being so capably in my stead for the last three weeks.
What has really blown me away, however, is the reaction of TTPers on the Forum to Mike Ryan’s HFR last Friday (8/30). It should blow you away too if you haven’t yet immersed yourself in it.
Frankly, it is simply astounding. The comments of your fellow TTPers are so thought-provoking, incisive, informative, rationally conservative, and stone-cold brilliant that you will simply not find their intellectual equal elsewhere on the Internet.
I implore you to take the time to read them and judge for yourself. There couldn’t be a better example of the unequaled value of To The Point membership.
One example would be the Forum comment of Skye that’s particularly germane to what is the main news story of this week.
MAD DOG MATTIS’ BLISTERING CRITICISM OF OBAMA
Mad Dog is mum on Trump but skewers Obama for taking a wrecking ball to American prestige and power.
Most of the coverage of James Mattis’s new book, Call Sign Chaos, co-authored with Bing West, deals with the former defense secretary’s relationship with President Trump.
The Atlantic‘s pre-publication interview with Mattis was headlined, “The Man Who Couldn’t Take It Anymore.” The New York Times editorial page ran a column about Mattis called “The Man Trump Wishes He Were.”
Fake News Alert. Both articles establish that Mattis doesn’t have much to say right now, in either the book or in interviews, about President Trump. Neither article, though, mentions another president about whom Mattis is more than willing to dish.
CONSERVATIVES NEED TO BUILD THEIR OWN HOLLYWOOD
Did anyone believe Will & Grace stars Debra Messing and Eric McCormack when they backtracked on their demand Hollywood supporters of Donald Trump attending the president's coming Beverly Hills fundraiser be outed and consequently blacklisted from The Industry?
Of course not. Truth is, there is no reforming these people. They are what they are.
It's time for conservatives and what Kurt Schlicter calls the "Normals" to have an entertainment industry of their own. Hollywood has effectively divorced conservatives (and the Normals). And after a divorce, as they say, "living well is the best revenge."
The question is how.
WHY DO SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE CALL THEMSELVES SOCIALIST?
“Socialist!” is no longer a McCarthyite slur.
Rather, the fresh celebrity “Squad” of newly elected identity-politics congresswomen – Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib – often either claim to be socialists or embrace socialist ideas.
A recent Harris poll showed that about half of so-called millennials would like to live in a socialist country.
Here are the ingredients for a culture that emphasizes the self, blames others for a sense of personal failure, and wants instant social justice and for money to grow on trees.
