Asking the #MeToo Movement: Are only Democrat Women Sexually Assaulted and Harassed?

By Judi McLeod

Are sexual predators only attacking Democrats?

Is there no known antidote to stop them in their tracks?

That’ it’s only happening to Democrat-associated women is just one little detail never mentioned by the mainstream and social media.

In the midst of the ranting, raving and screaming backup for Christine Blasey Ford, about whom it is being said, she “doesn’t have a political bone in her body”, there’s an embarrassing little detail rarely, if ever, mentioned in the media:  fading rock star Barack Obama, the indisputable ‘Me, Myself and I, I,Guy’ drew a crowd of only 700 to his recent rally in Anaheim, California

To see how far the mighty has fallen, compare Obama’s 700 to President Donald Trump’s 20,000 at his rallies.

Not only is Ford dominating the news as Stormy Daniels did, for Ford,  outfoxing Republicans like the incredibly stupid Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is akin to taking candy from a baby.  Evidence, her driving from California to D.C., reason for which is that she’s a nervous flyer.

Hey, Chuck! Flying to Washington, D.C. would bring her in to give testimony against Supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh within hours.  Of course,  she then wouldn’t have been able to play her stalling game by not being available for the better part of a week.

THINK TWICE WHEN YOU ENTER THAT BALLOT BOX IN NOVEMBER
ESPECIALLY IN FLORIDA,
DO YOU REALLY WANT A COMMUNIST LED STATE GOVERNMENT!

The Ravages of Leftist Thought Control

The “Newspeak” of Orwell’s 1984 is here.

September 21, 2018  

Michael Cutler

On September 12, 2018 the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) posted an article in its official website, Twitter Ads Rejects Tweets for “Hateful Content.”

The CIS article noted:

Yesterday Twitter rejected four Center for Immigration Studies tweets for use in the Center’s Twitter Ads campaign, alleging hateful content. (Several others were approved.) All four tweets use the statutory phrases “illegal alien” or “criminal alien,” and all of the tweets referenced law enforcement, either at the border or in the interior. One of the tweets contained a powerful Daily Caller video showing illegal aliens in camouflage carrying large backpacks across the border unimpeded.

Two days later, on September 14th The Daily Caller posted a report updating the situation: Twitter Allows Center For Immigration Studies To Promote Tweets About Illegal Aliens That Were Previously Rejected.

Twitter apparently reversed its decision when Mark Krikorian, the Director of CIS, appeared on Fox News to discuss the issue.

Here is an excerpt from The Daily Caller article:  The four tweets that could not get promoted, but are still on Twitter, contained the terms “alien,” “illegal alien” or “criminal alien” along with reference to law enforcement, according to a statement from CIS Wednesday.

A promoted tweet is a normal tweet bought by advertisers that can have a greater outreach on people, according to Twitter’s website.

“After two days of media coverage and no response to our question on what caused the denial, Twitter has approved the tweets,” CIS Director of Communications Marguerite Telford told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Turns out media coverage transforms tweets with ‘hateful content’ into acceptable tweets. But what if the story is not covered by The Daily Caller and Fox News? Present social media policies promote inconsistent, secret filtering policies that can and do block what is often just one side of important public debates.”

CIS Executive Director Mark Krikorian appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Wednesday to discuss the promotion ban along with what the organization did to find out why its tweets were considered as hateful.

“We looked at them and they all had ‘illegal alien’ or ‘criminal alien’ in them,” Krikorian told Carlson. “And so we said, ‘That must be it.’ What we did is sent them a nice note, and said, ‘Please let us know specifically what’s hateful about this because other ones weren’t that you did accept money for.’”

While it is important to note that Twitter reversed its decision, there is no cause for joy but consternation that this happened at all.
Twitter is a widely used means of communication.  It has become a virtual town square and its managers have total control over who gets to stand on the “soapbox.”
As Twitter notes, A promoted tweet is a normal tweet bought by advertisers that can have a greater outreach on people. 

In other words, promoting a tweet is the equivalent of providing a megaphone to the person or advertiser to reach more people.  Consequently, denying the speaker the use of that megaphone muffles the message.  Americans have foolishly come to blame the widespread censorship of language as examples of “Political Correctness.”  This is a dangerous notion.  Political Correctness (PC) was originally sold to Americans as a way of being polite by not using insulting or humiliating language.

However, this has now morphed into a means of thought control through the control of language.

Humans think with words. When you eliminate words, you eliminate the thoughts that the words represent.  All that is required is that a term, such as “alien” be branded “hate speech” by an unknown arbiter of language, and it is scrubbed from the vernacular.

There is absolutely nothing fair or compassionate about this.

Last year I wrote an article about how this now threatens the very foundation of our nation, Language Wars: The Road to Tyranny Is Paved with Language Censorship.

Across the United States “Safe Spaces” have been created on college campuses that stifle free speech and debate.  My degree was in Communications Arts and Sciences.  I participated in debates in high school and college and had I not become a federal agent, I had given serious consideration to teaching debate on the college level.  Debate is a celebration of the First Amendment that creates a sort of free market for ideas, a form of intellectual capitalism, where the participants bring their ideas to the marketplace of public opinion where all sides can express their thoughts freely.

Through this process the ideas that have greater merit are likely to advance.  It is easier to promote bad ideas when there are no alternatives.  Hence, we have “Safe Spaces” that are anything but “safe.”  Twitter is not alone in this totalitarian method of stifling free speech.

The Associated Press (AP) has issued a Style Book to not only guide writers in consistent use of punctuation and footnoting, but in purportedly acceptable language.  “Illegal alien” is not deemed acceptable for AP and, as they advertise on their website, their Style Book can be found in boardrooms, classrooms and newsrooms across America.  Control of language, coupled with extreme surveillance of its citizens that included the installation of telescreens (television monitoring devices) in the citizens’ homes that broadcast a constant barrage of programming from the omnipresent “Big Brother” created the ultimate police state in Orwell’s 1984.

Today our cell phones and other devices that apparently eavesdrop on us, are far more intrusive than Orwell could have envisioned.
A detailed explanation of Newspeak is found in the following excerpt from the Appendix to Orwell’s novel, under the title , The Principles of Newspeak. While admittedly a bit lengthy, it provides a clear explanation and warning as to just how dangerous and insidious Newspeak and other such censorship is:

The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc (English Socialist Party) but to make all other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought — that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc — should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever. To give a single example. The word free still existed in Newspeak, but it could only be used in such statements as ‘This dog is free from lice’ or ‘This field is free from weeds’. It could not be used in its old sense of ‘politically free’ or ‘intellectually free’ since political and intellectual freedom no longer existed even as concepts, and were therefore of necessity nameless.

Quite apart from the suppression of definitely heretical words, reduction of vocabulary was regarded as an end in itself, and no word that could be dispensed with was allowed to survive. Newspeak was designed not to extend but to diminish the range of thought, and this purpose was indirectly assisted by cutting the choice of words down to a minimum.  Two years ago I wrote an analysis of the origins of eliminating the term “Alien” from discussions about immigration in my article,  Jimmy Carter: Originator of the Orwellian Term “Undocumented Immigrant.”

Not only did Carter alter the language used by immigration enforcement agents, he even ordered INS agents not to arrest illegal aliens during the Census in the population centers with the greatest number of illegal aliens.  Those areas tended to vote for Democratic candidates and would gain more seats in the House of Representatives and hence, more votes in the Electoral College by getting more illegal aliens counted.  He illegally harnessed immigration to skew the electorate by obstructing immigration law enforcement.

Most Americans don’t realize that the term DREAM Act is actually an acronym (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act).  The supposed hate word “Alien” became palatable when it could be linked to The American Dream.  This is sheer hypocrisy, but then this Orwellian use of language is not about ethics, but about thought control.  There is certainly nothing ethical about that!

The Immigration and Nationality Act, defines the term “Alien” as “Any person, not a citizen or national of the United States.”  There is no insult in that term or its definition, only clarity.  Rebels who stage a coup d’etat generally first seize the means of communication to control the flow of information.  Knowledge is power, and to strip the citizenry of its power, its access to information must be tightly controlled though censorship.  Between fake news and the implementation of control over language by the social media, America stands at the precipice of the loss of our freedoms and our way of life.

The Fourth Amendment has been gutted in the name of national security, even as the “War on Terror” that justified many of these measures, does not include secure borders or effective immigration law enforcement mandated by the 9/11 Commission.  In fact, the Left now seeks to abolish all immigration law enforcement to ostensibly protect the immigrants, leaving the U.S. vulnerable.

The question that must be asked is, are we more at risk at the hands of terrorists or at the hands of the Ministry of Truth?

Education Secretary DeVos Signs On To
Globalist UN Education Agenda For U.S.

U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos signed on to a radical global “declaration” that calls for, among other absurdities, brainwashing children to believe in the United Nations-backed ideology of total government known as “‘sustainable development.” In fact, the pseudo-treaty inked by Trump’s education chief suggests that the purpose of schooling is to indoctrinate children with the right “values” and teach them to be obedient worker drones.

Under the un-American vision agreed to last week in Argentina, the governments purported to commit their nations to globalized brainwashing under the guise of “education.” To be clear, this is a dangerous policy document that, if implemented, will contribute to finalizing the destruction of traditional education in America and replacing it with a total indoctrination program aligned with the systems of some of the world’s most murderous autocracies. Americans should be outraged.

The declaration, produced at the first ever “Education Working Group” of the Group of 20 (G20) network of governments and dictatorships, was titled “‘Building consensus for fair and sustainable development.” How free nations can build “consensus” on “education” with murderous Islamist and Communist regimes that indoctrinate all children under their rule with evil ideologies of oppression was not made clear.

The whole education vision signed by the 20 governments and tyrants revolves around the United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. This extremist document, which demands national and international wealth redistribution as well as brainwashing of all children, is basically a road-map to global totalitarianism. It was literally developed by mass-murdering dictatorships. But it has never ratified by the U.S. Senate, as required by the Constitution of treaties.

The G20 education document is wild in terms of what it openly promotes. “Education is the foundation of personal development as it provides children, youth and adults with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes necessary to reach their full potential,” declared the education ministers (emphasis added), including some whose regimes torture and slaughter opponents of communism or sharia law.

They also demanded more data-gathering and -mining. “We recognize the value of policies based on evidence and the importance of having robust and comprehensive learning assessment systems and data in order to measure progress and learning outcomes, to help ensure quality education for all at all stages of life,” the document says, one of many references to government-provided “education” from cradle to grave informed by perpetual, Orwellian vacuuming up of student data.

The agreement also demands further globalization of education, a process that has been underway for many years. For instance, it calls for “international investment in education,” a theme consistent with the ongoing globalization of education under the UN’s extremist “education” agency known as UNESCO. “We acknowledge the role of existing and potential international mechanisms for financing education,” the document continues.

They also vowed to push it further. “We commit to strengthening international cooperation… and developing joint initiatives at bilateral, regional and multilateral levels,” the mostly unelected education czars said. In fact, the document goes on to say it explicitly: “We commit to facilitating the internationalization of education.” That means education policy for American children, decided by foreign governments and tyrants, as well as dictator clubs such as the UN. The signers, including DeVos, agreed to “promote the development of curricula … which have a strong focus on … values and attitudes.” They also committed to “foster the inclusion of non-cognitive skills such as socio-emotional skills across the curriculum,” which is basically educrat psycho-babble to conceal a program of psychological conditioning aiming to bring about the values and attitudes demanded by the establishment in all children.

Finally, the education chiefs vowed to “provide education that supports better integration of common values like … sustainable development.” As far as the nebulous, totalitarian concept relates to education, the UN has already made clear that it considers real education and educated people a threat to its grotesque notions of “sustainability.”

“Generally, more highly educated people, who have higher incomes, consume more resources than poorly educated people, who tend to have lower incomes,” explains a UN “toolkit” for global “sustainable” education, ‘which is still posted online at UNESCO’s website. “In this case, more education increases the threat to sustainability.”

The declaration also undermines true human rights — free speech, freedom of the press, gun rights, and other God-given rights — and promotes the communist-inspired notion of government-granted privileges as rights. “We stress that access to quality education is a human right,” the education ministers declared, as if mass-murdering communist tyrants had the same vision of “quality education” as liberty-minded Christian parents in America.

Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor, a respected education researcher, was among the voices sounding the alarm. “DeVos’s global roots are showing, as they have been since she was sworn into office. The question is exactly what will she do with all the ideas, policies, and, the damning Declaration for not only education, but our very freedoms,” Taylor warned. “I can tell you we all need to brace for impact.”

Trump should fire DeVos — and not just for participating in this dangerous effort to further globalize education and standardize the indoctrination of children worldwide. But rather than replacing her, Trump should work with Congress to shut down the entire unconstitutional department and get the feds completely out of education. The alternative is the continued subversion of education in America — and ultimately, the death of freedom.

Dire warnings at The Atlantic about the imminent collapse of US refugee program

Posted by Ann Corcoran on September 10, 2018

Litany of layoffs!

Priscilla Alvarez writing at The Atlantic runs through a partial list of the nine federal refugee contractors and tells us how many staffers have been fired because of that mean old Donald Trump not sending them enough refugee paying clients.

Doing well by doing good! Writer Alvarez features the International Rescue Committee.  Bet she doesn’t know its head honcho, Brit David Miliband, makes a cool nearly $700,000 annual salary.  He won’t be losing his job!

There really isn’t much new here (like so many of the fear-mongering stories the lapdog media is publishing these days, there isn’t much here that you haven’t heard over the last few months), however, it is worth posting for a couple of reasons.

First, we are reminded that the US State Department is rumored to be preparing to cut one of the nine federal contractors completely off the federal dole!

Which will it be?

My guess is that they might cut out the smallest—The Ethiopian Community Development Council.  It surely won’t be the giants: International Rescue Committee or the US Conference of Catholic Bishops!

It could be one of the others (besides ECDC) that is almost COMPLETELY funded by you through your tax dollars.  See the list below.***

Here is The Atlantic headline:

America’s System for Resettling Refugees Is Collapsing

And, here is a mention of one of the nine getting the ax:

Part of the current downsizing has come about as a result of a State Department order last December that said agency offices handling fewer than 100 refugees in fiscal year 2018 would not be authorized to resettle new arrivals. The department also warned that it expects to eliminate one or more agencies from the refugee-resettlement process in fiscal year 2019, effectively slimming down the resettlement operation—and reducing its ability to quickly staff back up, should a future administration expand the nation’s refugee ceiling.

Mary Giovagnoli is the director of the Refugee Council USA, the LOBBYING arm of the refugee industry in Washington.

“Every time an office has to shut its doors, the impact isn’t just about the initial people affected,” said Mary Giovagnoli, the executive director of Refugee Council USA, a coalition of 24 nongovernmental agencies focused on refugee protection.

“Once that office has closed, the people with the expertise and the knowledge of working with particular groups have to find other jobs, find other work, and it’s not necessarily going to be in refugee resettlement. We start to lose the skills and capacity, the more you do that, the more you’re likely to lose the critical infrastructure.”

 

As I have reported previously, and don’t doubt me….

…They will “staff back up” in a heartbeat as soon as Donald Trump is no longer in the White House.

And, that is why it is vitally important that this administration makes major PERMANENT reforms in the program NOW.

And, here is the second reason I’m posting this:

We learn that Senators Grassley and Feinstein told the Trump Administration to follow the law and hold required “consultations” with Congress. The Refugee Act of 1980requires consultation with the House and Senate Judiciary Committees as I have pointed out here most recently.

However, the decision about how many refugees will be admitted is the President’s alone. 

Alvarez continues:

What remains true is that support for refugees is a bipartisan issue. Members of Congress have recently chimed in, relaying their concern about the lack of discussion between lawmakers and the administration about the refugee cap. In August, Senators Chuck Grassley and Dianne Feinstein demanded that the administration continue collaborating with lawmakers to set a figure, as is custom.

See the Grassley/Feinstein letter here.  Go here for the whole Atlantic story.

What a joke!

Now they want consultation when for at least the last decade the consultation was a sham.  It was a cursory little meeting where some State Department bureaucrats went to the Hill to meet with a couple of lawmakers/staff in a closed-to-the-public setting.

In fact, the law requires public hearings prior to the beginning of the fiscal year that have never happened since I’ve followed the program (11 years).  A rare hearing was held after October 1.

They don’t want real hearings because they have wanted to keep the whole program running in a secretive manner, that is until Donald Trump came along!

And, one more time on the “bipartisan support” for higher numbers of refugees.

The Republicans are the Chamber of Commerce Republicans who want more refugees for cheap labor for their big business donors—meatpackers, other food processing companies, manufacturing and hospitality (maids and janitors for hotels!).

The Dems of course see the refugees as their future voter base!  And, to heck with the average American taxpayer who pays for it all, and lives next door to it!

 

***These below are the nine federal refugee resettlement contractors.

You might be sick of seeing this list almost every day, but a friend once told me that people need to see something seven times before it completely sinks in, so it seems to me that 70, or even 700 isn’t too much!

And, besides I have new readers every day.

The present US Refugee Admissions Program will never be reformed if the system of paying the contractors by the head stays in place and the contractors are permitted to act as Leftwing political agitation groups, community organizers and lobbyists paid on our dime!

And, to add insult to injury they pretend it is all about ‘humanitarianism.’

The number in parenthesis is the percentage of their income paid by you (the taxpayer) to place the refugees into your towns and cities and get them signed up for their services (aka welfare)!  And, get them registered to vote eventually!

From my most recent accounting, here.  However, please see that Nayla Rush at the Center for Immigration Studies has done an update of their income!

• Church World Service (CWS) (71%)
• Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) (secular)(93%)
• Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) (99.5%)
• Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) (57%)
• International Rescue Committee (IRC) (secular) (66.5%)
• US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) (secular) (98%)
• Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS) (97%)
• United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) (97%)
• World Relief Corporation (WR) (72.8%)

Web Master;

A must read, it will educate on how the socialist got their start, the tricks they used to get into Office, what teams they have built since getting there, and what their direction is today.  Yes, this was in 2009, but remember this was the big push for Socialism under Barack Obama, we have learned a lot, now we have to stop it.

• Stop sign number 1 was the 2016 Presidential election,

• Stop Sign number 2 in the mid term Election 2018, we MUST keep the House and the Senate.

• Stop Sign number 3 is the 2020 presidential election.

  If we accomplish these goals we will go a long way to putting the brakes on Socialism in America, and just possibly pass a better world on to our children and grand children.

  Please take the time to read.

Re: Colin Kaepernick and Nike’s “Just Do It” Campaign

Dear Chairman Parker,

On behalf of the more than 241,000 law enforcement officers represented by our Association
across the country, I write to you to condemn in the strongest possible terms your selection of
Colin Kaepernick for Nike’s “Just Do It” ad campaign. Mr. Kaepernick is known, not as a
successful athlete, but as a shallow dilettante seeking to gain notoriety by disrespecting the flag
for which so many Americans have fought and died.

The inclusion of Mr. Kaepernick in Nike’s “Just Do It” ad campaign also perpetuates the
falsehood that police are racist and aiming to use force against African Americans and persons
of color. In reality, officers across the nation risk their lives not only protecting the athletes
featured in Nike’s various campaigns, but also serve aspiring athletes across the country who
use the Nike brand, through the thousands of Police Athletic Leagues, Boys and Girls Clubs
and Big Brother/Big Sister programs where our officers donate their time and energy. They
deserve to have the respect and full support of corporate citizens like Nike

.
Adding to the insult is the image of Mr. Kaepernick from the campaign featuring the quote
“Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.” The fact that Mr. Kaepernick
is no longer a starting NFL player does not equate to him being someone who has “sacrificed
everything”. To truly understand what it means to “believe in something” and “sacrifice
everything”, you should look to Arlington National Cemetery, or to the National Law
Enforcement Officers’ Memorial in Washington, D.C., or to the trauma unit of a military
hospital. The brave men and women of every race and color buried there, memorialized there,
healing there, believed in this nation and our flag and exemplify the true meaning of
“sacrifice”.

In featuring Mr. Kaepernick in the “Just Do It” campaign, Nike grossly insults the men and
women who really do make sacrifices for the sake of our nation. We are calling on all our
member officers, their families and friends to join in boycotting all Nike products.

Sincerely,
Michael McHale
President

John McCain .. Liberal, Socialist Playboy Opportunist

August 27, 2018

by Adrian Vance

John McCain was a far more interesting, colorful and controversial man than most Americans and no journalists know.   If you saw the Sunday political shows you would think a saint had passed on.

John McCain was a man driven by two ghosts:  His father and grandfather.  Both were four-star Admirals in the US Navy so John’s appointment to the US Naval Academy was his destiny, but John McCain graduated 894th in his class of 899 students.  He was known for being wild, chasing young women.  He was in a student group calling themselves “The Bad Bunch.”

John married Carol Shepp, a swimsuit model who had been married to one of his classmates with whom she had two children.  She and McCain were parents of a daughter in that marriage.  At heart a playboy, John was soon bored with domestic life and as advancement was more likely in the military services in combat, he requested active duty in Vietnam.  While there Carol faithfully stayed at home looking after the children.

His plane was shot down in 1967 when he ignored mission instructions to stay above 15,000 feet he went “down on the deck” and was shot down, survived and became a Prisoner Of War, POW.

On Christmas Eve 1969, Carol in her car, slid head-on into a telephone pole taking gifts to friends.  She was thrown from the car through the front window.  Her legs, spine, and right arm were crushed and she was in the hospital for six months.  Ross Perot was an advocate of POW’s and paid her extensive medical bills.  She requested John not be told .. feeling he had enough to deal with.   McCain was released in 1973 and returned home to much fanfare. Carol’s several surgeries cost her five inches in height, and she gained weight.  McCain told reporters he was overjoyed to see Carol again. But friends said he was appalled by the change in her appearance.

As a war hero, McCain moved in elevated circles.  Reverting to his old ways he started “running around with women,” according to Robert Timberg, a retired Marine, journalist, and author of four books, including “John McCain: An American Odessy.”   McCain admitted he started having many girlfriends and affairs during this time.  On one trip to Hawaii, at a cocktail party. he met Anheuser Busch distributor heiress, Cindy Hensley.  She was 17 years younger than McCain and worth $100 million dollars.  He invited her to have drinks with him at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.  He said by the end of the evening he was in love.

They had an affair for nine months, while he was still married to and living with his wife Carol.  McCain wanted to marry Cindy but needed to get a divorce.  He and Carol separated in January 1980.  He requested a divorce in February; the divorce was sped along and granted in April.  John and Cindy married five weeks after the divorce was final on May 17, 1980.  Carol and their children were devastated.    McCain callously left his first wife and children behind. He and Cindy moved to Arizona.  Cindy’s father was well-connected and helped McCain move smoothly into Congress .. representing Arizona in Washington DC.  John McCain has been in Congress since 1983.

McCain’s new wife and her family were extravagantly wealthy.  Her father was one of the largest distributors of Anheuser Busch in the country and she an only child.  The divorce settlement afforded Carol McCain full custody of their three children, alimony, child support, including college tuition, houses in Virginia and Florida, and lifelong financial support for her continuing medical treatment from the car accident.

Carol said the reason for the divorce was John turned 40 and he wanted to be 25 again.

Carol was extremely hurt.  She went to work as the press assistant for soon-to-be First Lady Nancy Reagan.  She was respected in Washington and kept a dignified silence about the way John McCain had treated her.   Some of the McCain friends were less forgiving, however.  They portray the politician as a self-centered womanizer who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to “play the field.”  They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen with a barn full of money.

Ever the opportunist, John McCain ran as a Republican, but spoke, voted and collaborated as a Democrat.

No wonder all the national television shows treated John McCain as a modern saint.  He was not, but we can understand the “ants in his pants.”  He lived haunted by his father and grandfather.  Two bona fide war heroes.   Ross Perot paid her medical bills years ago, says both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel, even by the standards of modern politics.  Perot said, “McCain is the classic opportunist.  He’s always reaching for attention and glory.”

Cindy has also had to learn the lessons about her husband the hard way.  Even though she and McCain put on a perfect front for the public, especially when he is running for office, she is an invisible wife.

Tom Gosinski, who served as the Director of Cindy McCain’s nonprofit American Voluntary Medical Team, AVMT wrote in his journal of the McCain marriage:  “During my short tenure at AVMT, I have been surrounded by what on the surface appears to be the ultimate all-American family.   In reality, I am working for a very sad, lonely woman.  Her marriage of convenience to a U.S. Senator has driven her to distance herself from friends, cover feelings of despair with drugs, and replace lonely moments with self-indulgence.  She became addicted to Percocet and had a doctor prescribing them for her illegally.  When her parents learned she was taking them, they helped her stop.

Washington rumors were saying McCain had an inappropriate relationship with the young and lovely lobbyist, Vicki Iseman.  Ms. Iseman began visiting McCain’s offices and campaign events so frequently in 2000 that his aides were “convinced the relationship had become romantic.”  One staff member supposedly asked, “Why is she always around?”   His staff members began a campaign to “save McCain from himself” by restricting Iseman’s access to McCain during the year 2000 Presidential Primary.  According to the Washington Post, McCain’s political advisor John Weaver met with Iseman at Washington’s Union Station to tell Iseman not to see McCain anymore.

It is not a real marriage between John and Cindy McCain.  Real marriages involve living together.  McCain and Cindy have not “lived” together for 20 years.  To defend this, McCain brags the family takes two vacations together every year and “Ms. McCain is the one who has always made that happen.”

Two vacations per year!  Little of this man was real.  He had no compassion or empathy for anyone except himself.

The only real thing emotion he was capable of was anger.  He is famous for his anger.

His father and grandfather were both decorated Navy Admirals.  He was given special privileges and extreme preferential treatment while he served in the Navy.  He was a pilot but according to his colleagues, he was a very bad pilot.  He actually crashed three planes.  There was a horrendous incident that happened on his aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Forrestal, that killed 134 men. There has been a rolling debate since the incident and some are convinced John McCain was responsible.

Witnesses reported McCain attempted a “wet start.”  When a pilot wants to be a show-off, with a “wet start” his engine start creates a large startling flame and lots of surprise noise from the rear of a jet engine on startup.  McCain did the “Wet Start.”  The flames torched the launch of a Zuni rocket on the plane behind him.  Zuni rockets were notorious for problems.  It shot across the carrier’s deck hitting other parked planes that were packing 1,000 high-explosive pound bombs which exploded.  Destruction and fire went several decks below and nearly sunk this major 82,000 ton U.S. aircraft carrier.

This stunt caused the death of 134 sailors and blew off arms, legs, and caused blindness and burns to another 161 sailors.  McCain jumped from his plane, rolled across the flames, and escaped.  He watched the men dying and the burning from a closed circuit television on the ship.   The ship off line for two years in port for $76 million dollars of major repairs, not including the cost of the airplanes or ammunition.  Any other Navy pilots causing this type of death and destruction would have been arrested and still be in prison,but not John McCain III.  McCain was not even reprimanded.  When there is a cover-up, the soldier is usually simply assigned to another ship.  McCain was quietly assigned to another ship.  There is an ongoing debate about the incident to this day.

John McCain’s lack of character was further demonstrated when he voted not to repeal Obamacare.  He ran his 2016 Senatorial race under the banner he would lead the fight to repeal Obamacare!  But, he hates Donald Trump so very much .. he gleefully held his thumb down for his vote rather than give a thumb up.  He laughed afterward saying, “Let’s see Donald Trump save America now!”   John McCain actually stabbed his constituents and the citizens of America in the back.  John McCain, the Liberal Socialist Playboy Opportunist .. Hero with a huge question mark.  More like from yesteryear .. just a “screwup” big time all his life.

WHAT DO WE HAVE IN TALLAHASSEE WITH MAYOR/GOVERNOR CANDIDATE ANDREW GILLUM

• A socialist democrat Andrew Gillum’s mayor-ship, Tallahassee is ranked as the most dangerous city in Florida, with more violent crimes occurring in his city than any other metro area in the state.

• Let’s not forget Billionaire Tom Steyer and his Next gen America PAC, Steyer is one appearing in National adds, calling for the impeachment of trump

• Gillum’s  other job is with People for the American Way, which would take opp-researchers about 30 seconds to cast as a subversive organization.

• Gillum  advocated removing from job applications the check mark about criminal records – in other words forcing employers to hire dangerous criminals.

• Gillum wants to repeal “stand your ground”, ban semi-automatic “assault” rifles and is pro-gun control. (Apparently Mr. Gillum does not know the Governments definition of an “Assault Weapon, I can assure you it has nothing to do with civilian Semi-automatic rifles regardless of what they look like.)

• Gillum stands accused of using a Tallahassee lobbyist named Adam Corey to collect kickbacks on investments in Tallahassee properties. Gillum allegedly decided that he was going to pick the winners and losers in Tallahassee by funneling money from the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency to his buddies’ businesses, or to the businesses of people that invested in Corey’s businesses.

• Gillum under investigation himself for allegedly abusing his power as Mayor to further his run for Governor. Gillum is accused of using political campaign software for his campaign that was paid for by the city. Gillum’s email situation has reportedly been forwarded on to the State Attorney’s office.

• Locals are also accusing Mayor Gillum of disallowing non-union electric companies from helping with power outages after Hurricane Hermine

• Gillum was supported by World know Socialist George Soros, a man who turned his back on his own Jewish people during WWII and turn them in to be sent to Concentration camps to be murdered.  (Would you really support a man who was backed and funded by this individual?)

• Gillum’s buddy Cory arranged a New York trip for him where he met, then went on a boat trip, was introduced to two undercover FBI agents, That trip remains the subject of a state ethics probe.  Gillum states “merely friends getting together”, (really they were undercover FBI agents one he had never met before?)

• On the trip it’s understood that he attended a Met’s game and a Broadway show “Hamilton” Gillum refused to say if he attend those events. Why would he refuse to admit it? Gillum states; “No public money was used and no city business was discussed on the trip.” Really and all along he thought the FBI agents were developers, and they discussed no business? Gillum claims he new one agent Mike who was, someone who portrayed himself as a developer interested in investing in [Tallahassee’s] south side

• Corey, Gillum’s long time friend reportedly set up a meeting at his Tallahassee restaurant between Gillum and the FBI agents (whom Gillum believed were developers). According to an email obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat, Corey sent a calendar invite for that meeting while he and Gillum were at an exclusive, $1,400-a-night luxury resort in Costa Rica.  Gillum says it was a personal trip in which no business was discussed  Anyone really believe this guy? $1400 a night hotel room? 

• Why did Corey set up this meeting, then lead Gillum his “friend” to believe they were both developers?

• None of this came up in the primary because everyone thought he was along shot fourth place finisher.

• Gillum want to rebuild Florida’s education system so that we can make sure our kids are ready for Kindergarten earlier? (What at 3 – 4 years of age, this is what I would refer as a life long indoctrination program, get the kids away from their parents.)

• Gillum supports the legalization of marijuana in order to generate new revenue to pay for teacher and instructional staff pay increases, really illegal drug money to fund education? (Yes it is still illegal according the U.S government).

   

  Gillum His first priority as Governor will be appointing three new Supreme Court justices who share the values of this state, and he’ll appoint diverse, qualified judges who represent the breadth and depth of people in this state. This should scare everyone in the state, he apparently does not understand what the job of the Supreme court justices, it is not to ” represent the breadth and depth of the people” (State supreme courts primary responsibility consists of correcting the errors of the inferior state courts.  It exclusively hears appeals on legal issues from inferior state courts.  Since it does not make any finding of facts, it holds no trials, hence no representing the breadth and depth of the people!)
