Venezuela Now!

Canada Free Press, by Dr. Alexander Nussbaum — April 3, 2019

Excerpt:

My late father had the privilege of living in a socialist paradise, Stalin’s Soviet Union. He had many stories of the wonders he saw. Unfortunately I was young and stupid and did not record all of them. He could go on for literally hours, and I thought I would have a father forever.  I remember only four, which I will relate. For while Liberals refuse to acknowledge an objective past, Conservatives carefully learn its lessons.

Comrades trying to survive a brutal Russian winter were not provided enough wood to keep themselves warm. A beautiful new wooden fence was built, slave labor of course. At night everybody passing by would, under penalty of death, remove a plank. The piece of wood provided enough heat to keep them alive a little longer. Soon the fence was gone.

This is the future of your children and grandchildren in Ocasio-Cortez’s “peoples republic”

Toilet paper was too good for the comrades. My father’s family, his parents and siblings, were already exterminated by the Germans (with the complicity of all of Europe) by this point. He was with his closest living “relative”, an uncle by marriage. Paper in any form was not available, but the official communist writings, attributed to Stalin, were sold very cheaply. This man got the idea to buy a bunch of these pamphlets and use them as toilet paper.  Except the authorities got suspicious why he was buying so much. They called him in for questioning, Of course if the true reason came out, he would be executed.  Using quick wits, he said he bought them to distribute to children and survived.

FACT CHECK: Ilhan Omar Says It’s A ‘Myth’ That Transgender Women Have A ‘Competitive Advantage’ In Powerlifting

CHECKYOURFACT, by Caitlin McFall | Contributor — March 2, 2019

Excerpt:

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s comments have gotten her into hot water recently, but she also said something that largely slipped under the radar – that it’s a “myth” and “unscientific” that transgender women have a “direct competitive advantage” in women’s powerlifting.

Omar wrote a letter to USA Powerlifting after it refused to let a transgender women enter a Minnesota competition.

“I urge you to reconsider this discriminatory, unscientific policy and follow the example of the International Olympic Committee,” she said. “The myth that transgender women have a ‘direct competitive advantage’ is not supported by medical science, and it continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk committees in the world.”

Media’s 9 Lamest Excuses for Joe Biden’s Serial Young Girl-Touching

Media’s 9 Lamest Excuses for Joe Biden’s Serial Young Girl-Touching

Breitbart, by John Nolte — April 2, 2019

Excerpt:

………………………………………………………

Hey, I’m not claiming Biden is a sexual predator, but come on… If you are not a powerful Democrat protected by the media, I dare you to try slithering up behind a co-worker to sniff her hair and plant a kiss.

You can’t do that.

When was that kind of behavior ever okay?

I’m nearing a hundred years-old, and I can tell you it never was.

But if you’re Joe Biden, if you’re Barack Obama’s former wingman, if you’re “in,” if our corrupt and sullied Elite Establishment likes you… then it is okay, even after two women have come forward to say it wasn’t  even 28 years after Anita Hill definitely made it not okay.

=======================

Washington Examiner / Opinion, by James Poulos — March 29, 2019

Excerpt:

This is the decade America’s common culture died. Cultural taste, affinity, and identity is shattered into a thousand distinct shards. This “tribalization” has become an obsession among social elites, whose economic model for maintaining their global dominance has been thrown into doubt. But only now are the fuller consequences of the rise of the multiculture rearing their ugly heads. As manufactured mainstream fare fades, Americans are right to begin to wonder whether any popular culture as we know it, a vibrant social sphere full of entertainers and highly engaged audiences, is going to replace what is lost. The same digital technology that empowered us to consume what we wanted, when we wanted it, is now sharply discouraging us from producing what we want, even at times and places of our choosing.

The world of digital entertainment and social media is increasingly suppressing both popular culture and elite culture, each of which depends on giving people incentives to pour their lives into art, media, music, film, and the news of the day. Whether it’s injecting creative works into the market, opinions into the maelstrom of the online discourse, or corrective lectures into raging debates, the potential payoff for all these sorts of activities is plummeting.

The culprit is not simply digital tech’s propensity to glut markets until demand collapses. In our era when just about anyone can write, record, produce, and release a single, a movie, a podcast, or a video show, the barriers to entry are so low that the market space has filled to the brim with content that’s almost totally inessential to nearly all would-be consumers.

The real prime target of Trump’s threat to close the border

Image source: https://www.uschamber.com/

============================

American Thinker, by Thomas Lifson — April 2, 2019

Excerpt:

I think that President Trump is going after what the Left calls “root causes” in their typical grab for money to redistribute, purportedly to eliminate some social problem they blame on poverty. But Trump is not seeking a nebulous version of Ultimate Social Justice, he focused on the real obstacles to immigration reform, and I think he has a specific goal in mind as he threatens a complete border closure.

Simply stated, at home, Trump wants big business, as embodied in the US Chamber of Commerce, to grasp that he will not allow them to continue stonewall on open borders, targeting their donations to prevent any legal reform. Ever since NAFTA, huge investments have taken place predicted on the free movement of good across the border. Those investments are now held hostage by Trump’s threat. The implicit deal: either loudly and emphatically lobby for a simple revision to immigration law to allow asylum claimants to wait on the southern side of the border while their claims are adjudicated or endure a semi-catastrophic disruption.

Why do the least-bright people rise to the top?

John Brennan — Former Director, CIA

American Thinker, by Patricia McCarthy — April 2, 2019

Excerpts:

For over two years, we have been tormented or delighted, depending on one’s political preference, by the opinions and or declarations avowing President Trump’s guilt with regard to collusion with Russia.  It was all a made-up scam from the beginning, but the media and the leftist loons have beaten this dead horse relentlessly in the fervid hope it would see Trump forced from the office he legitimately won. 

…………………………………………..

Anything, any plan, any course of action, any sacrifice of one’s moral sense, was on the table, worth the risk, worth the selling of one’s soul to the devil.  Trump should not have won so the forces in positions of power worked together to undo his candidacy, then his election, then his inauguration, and then his presidency.  Who did all these things?  The people who rose to power in the principal law enforcement agencies in America. 

What do we know now?  We know that they – OBAMA, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, Strozk, Page, and the rest of their chosen cohorts at the FBI, CIA, & DOJ – colluded to destroy Trump by any means necessary.  They employed every means they had at their disposal, no matter how unconstitutional, illegal, immoral or venal. – (bold and caps emphasis added)

Members of Congress ask for Update on Referral to Prosecute Former FBI Director


Above image: Former FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe

Sharyl Attkisson, by sattkisson — April 1, 2019

Excerpt:

Congressmen Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mark Meadows (R-NC) have requested an update from the Attorney General on the prosecution of former FBI director Andrew McCabe. Below is an except of the letter requesting the update.

“We write to request an update on the Justice Department’s investigation and prosecution of former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The Justice Department Office of Inspector General (DOJ OIG) referred McCabe’s lack of candor to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia almost a year ago. McCabe’s pattern of lies to the FBI and OIG officials was particularly troublesome because they were intended to cover up media leaks that would benefit McCabe personally and professionally…”

Clapper Sings – Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper Tells CNN Obama Ordered the Trump-Russia Spying Operation

Gateway Pundit, by Jim Hoft — March 31, 2019

Excerpt:

On Monday former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper went on with CNN’s Anderson Cooper to discuss the Mueller Report after its release on Sunday.

After two years of investigation Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team of angry Democrats did not find any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mueller also did not find any evidence of conspiracy after President Trump fired crooked leaker FBI Director James Comey.

Clapper defended the Obama administration’s spying on their political opposition during the election.

And then Clapper appeared to put blame on Barack Obama for spying on his opponent during the 2016 presidential election.

Minnesota: New task force led by Muslim AG and terror-linked Muslim groups may get opportunity to enforce Islamic blasphemy laws


Source: Minnesota’s Muslim AG may get opportunity to enforce Islamic blasphemy laws on ‘remnant of patriots’ – LeoHohmann.com

creeping sharia — March 31, 2019

Excerpt:

In shockingly Orwellian fashion, Democrats in Minnesota want to create a statewide “Task Force on Islamophobia and Anti-Semitism” that would be stacked with people devoted to Islamic doctrines calling for more anti-Semitism.

Taken in light of other recent developments in Minnesota, all signs point to a coming crackdown on free speech, say conservatives in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

“It’s putting the wolves in the henhouse,” said Minneapolis resident Debra Anderson. “It’s very scary what they are trying to do. They want to stop, want to intimidate the remnant of patriots we have in Minnesota.”

The task force, if approved by the legislature, would be chaired by Muslim Attorney General Keith Ellison or someone appointed by Ellison.

The bill was introduced on March 18, three days after the attack that tragically killed 50 people at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, leading some to conclude that Ellison and other Democrats are seeking to capitalize on the global sympathy for Muslims created by the 24/7 media coverage of that attack.

Michele Bachmann, a former member of Congress and prominent Minnesota conservative, said she has no doubt in her mind that, if approved, the task force will recommend draconian measures to crack down on so-called “hate speech” in her state.
