A CNN vocabulary guide by Mike Huckabee

(A.) “Sedition”

(B.) “A threat to democracy.”

(C.) “Insurrection driven by madness”

(D.) All of the above.

Inauguration day riots

Any riots yet? From American Spectator:

"Here’s something you already know: Joe Biden doesn’t need 26,000 National Guard troops to protect him from Proud Boys at his inauguration.

He doesn’t need 16,000 troops. Or 10,000 troops. He might not need 6,000.

Four years ago, the Department of Homeland Security mobilized 7,800 National Guardsmen for Donald Trump’s inauguration. At the time there were some 99 left-wing outfits proclaiming they would demonstrate to protest the Trump inauguration.

Those protests turned into riots. The Left looted stores around Washington and made a mess. Few were arrested."

Yale, May 1970; the Floyd protests in context

Putting the Floyd protests in context--May Day, 1970 at Yale by Al Kresta. https://avemariaradio.net/audio-archive/kresta-in-the-afternoon-june-3-2020-hour-1/

Al Kresta was 18 during the turbulent years of campus protests, including the Kent State disaster. He says what is happening today happened then, but our media haven't learned or even researched. He also explains the 2019 study (using the Washington Post data base) on police vs. unarmed citizens, white and black. There is NO gross epidemic of police violence against blacks. Black citizens are more likely to be killed by black officers, not white. And what correlates is the race of the criminals. It's the best predictor of fatal shootings. In 2019 there were 9 fatal shootings of blacks and 19 of whites out of millions of encounters with the police. This flies in the face of every TV report, newspaper opinion or Facebook meme you see. Fatalities of whites rarely get any media attention. Our main stream media do not do their research. [njb: Our local news last night did a great disservice featuring a white mother of 2 young black sons and the inaccurate information and myths surrounding the police and blacks.]

Kresta was there in 1970, and he says it's the same today. There are three groups: the largest group are the peaceful protestors, next are the revolutionaries with an ideology--then as now, usually Communist, socialist, globalist, anti-government (Bobby Seal, etc.), and third is the criminal element, looters, rioters, long time criminals just stealing and creating mayhem.

It's very useful to put today's problems in the context of these 3 groups including Nixon (who was no more popular than Trump), Revolutionary white groups, Black Panthers (would work with any left wing group), the Yale students with their ideals and white privilege and their liberal president; 4,000 national guard troops. There was no serious violence and rioting in New Haven . Unfortunately, Kent State was to come.

This discussion continues on June 4.

Could Democrats make this worse? Yes.

A friend of mine who lives in the DC area says, “I just returned from driving Gil to work. In case you see the demonstrations on TV, here’s what I saw. In the corner area of the Capitol lawn by the Senate side, there are around 100 demonstrator/protestors. They look like the typical protest crowd in DC — hired homeless and unemployed youths making quick money as paid protestors. They are waving flags and signs for impeaching and removing. These are not volunteers or a spontaneous group. They are clearly part of an organized-for-media demonstration (right on a corner where they can be conveniently photographed, but out of the way of tourists and people doing business at the Capitol. Disgusting because it is carefully organized to show well on TV to look bigger than it is and to have closeups that are photogenic. We see it often for various causes."

I won't be watching, but full disclosure, I never do.

"The National Football League rejected an advertisement for its official Super Bowl LII programs that urged players and people who attend the game to stand during the national anthem, according to American Veterans, the organization that submitted the ad.
Omitted from the programs was a full-page ad picturing the American flag, saluting soldiers and the words “Please Stand,” referring to the movement of NFL players protesting racial inequality and injustice by kneeling during the performance of the national anthem before the start of games." 
You know the drill.

The protests are serious

Let's stop laughing at the protesters and snowflakes.  They are serious anarchists with outside organizers helping them.  Don't underestimate them whether it's on the interstate, a bridge, a pipeline, a flag pole, a Broadway play or a smart phone. Most of them didn't vote--many are not even citizens. They aren't disgruntled Hillary supporters--they are America haters threatening elected and appointed officials, police, firemen and they will be well organized by the next election. They have plans.

Democrats continue their meltdown and name calling

President elect Trump got only marginally more white voters in 2016 than Romney did in 2012, and many more minorities votes than Romney. But the Democrats smeared Romney as a racist, homophobe, sexist, etc. --and I think animal abuser for good measure. This year, people who had voted for Obama for two terms were tired of being maligned, ridiculed and called names, especially a basket of deplorables by Clinton, so they decided to try an outsider. The name calling is so much background noise now, and I don't think it works anymore except to incite more fear among Democrats. Now we've got teacher's unions preparing propaganda as "social studies units" about the election to terrorize their students. It's the 1950s duck and cover nuclear attack. The democrats are digging their own hole and pulling the dirt over top of themselves.

Meanwhile the protests continue.  Now the protestors are releasing the names and addresses of the electoral voters who are pledge to support candidates--they are trying to threaten them into changing their votes.  Really, despicable people.  But do Obama or Clinton say anything? I guess all that talk about a smooth transition was just talk.  

Each visitor to Trump Tower for discussions and interviews has wild stories written about him or her in the nasty main stream media.  They are terrified as their political base collapses and gravy train drains.  Clintons are gone.  Bidens gone. Harry Reid gone.  Maybe Nancy Pelosi is on the way out.  The most powerful woman in the world, Valerie Jarrett will soon leave DC (unless she's trapped in the revolving door of lobbying.  The DNC exposed for its corruption and deal making.

Academe—we reap what we sow

“After 50 years of teaching at Harvard, I have never met a less courageous group of people than tenured faculty.” Alan Dershowitz.

“There’s clearly a double standard. Minority students, gay students, transgender students, Arab students generally have a greater leverage and a greater voice, and their grievances are taken far more seriously than the legitimate grievances of Jewish students, Zionist students, Christian students, conservative students.”

The Organizers vs. the Organized in Zuccotti Park

You can laugh at the OWS group, but really, they sound so . . .I don't know. . . human and flawed, just like the rest of us. And it's the reason the "commons" idea didn't work in 3rd grade when the teacher assigned you to working groups, and why it didn't work in the 70s with the feminist communes, and why it's not working in Zuccotti park. When self-interest is allowed, the whole group advances. When you pretend everything is fair and equal and start taking money to be sure it will be, all hell breaks lose.
The drummers claim that the finance working group even levied a percussion tax of sorts, taking up to half of the $150-300 a day that the drum circle was receiving in tips. “Now they have over $500,000 from all sorts of places,” said Engelerdt. “We’re like, what’s going on here? They’re like the banks we’re protesting."

All belongings and money in the park are supposed to be held in common, but property rights reared their capitalistic head when facilitators went to clean up the park, which was looking more like a shantytown than usual after several days of wind and rain. The local community board was due to send in an inspector, so the facilitators and cleaners started moving tarps, bags, and personal belongings into a big pile in order to clean the park.

Law students chokes on his silver spoon

The first arrest came shortly after noon near the stock exchange. Several blocks away, another protester, who identified himself as Robert Stephens, was arrested after kneeling in the middle of the street outside the Chase Bank building.

"That's the bank that took my mother's home," said Stephens, a law student, before being handcuffed. . . Reuters

Poor helpless, poverty stricken law student Robert Stephens, graduated from Carleton College (average cost: $42,942/year) in 2010 and now studies law at The George Washington University Law School (average cost: $70,449/year).. . He was at the Wicked Wall Street Occupy/Demonstrate against the banks saying the bank had ruined his parents' lives.

It's all bogus, but he's had his 10 minutes of fame on the liberal new media sites, his face zipping around the internet in minutes. His Dad is a PhD, with 2 masters, his Mom who has a Master's earns mega bucks, plus county property records & taxpayer services office reveal that the Stephens family home is not in foreclosure, that property taxes had been paid in full and the remaining balance on their mortgage for the half-million dollar home is less than one year’s worth of tuition+fees at their son’s law school. You gotta love the way the left manipulates the media and then wonder why there's no way to make their case, other than lying.

Daily Kos got punked, and it couldn't have happened to a group more gullible.

Double standard for protests

Where are the media and White House representatives like Gibbsy and Rahm decrying the violence and out of control crowds protesting Arizona's governor? What could be more racist than calling your organization "The Race" (La Raza) the group urging disobedience? And smearing refried beans in protest? Imagine if Tea Party people, whom the head of ACORN Bertha Lewis had called a "bowel movement" to young socialists had smeared something!
    Arizona has an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants and is the state with the most illegal border crossings, with the harsh, remote desert serving as the gateway for thousands of Mexicans and Central Americans. The law toughens restrictions on hiring illegal immigrants for day labor and knowingly transporting them.
Since it is illegal to enter the country this way, why is Obama fomenting trouble by condemning Arizona for passing a law that supports U.S. laws? Why doesn't he want help in stopping the illegal transportation of illegals, many underage women?

It's about voters! Democrats are in trouble. Obama will play the race card--he's losing every day. But he didn't win with the race vote, he won with the independents and moderates of both parties wanting to flee from their guilty past. I think they've wised up by now to look at his poll numbers.

Style vs. Substance

Although I think even his most ardent supporters are tiring of his whining, finger pointing, and stalling this item on style vs. substance is still important.
    Rasmussen Reports (Michael Barone) - "The Obama enthusiasts who dominated so much of the 2008 campaign cycle were motivated by style. The tea party protesters who dominated so much of 2009 were motivated by substance. Obama enthusiasts seem to have been motivated by a yearning for a rapturous, nuanced leader. Send that terrible tyrant with his tortured sentences and moral certitude back to Texas and install The One in the White House, and all would be well.

    "In contrast, the tea party protesters, many of them as fractious and loudmouthed as [New York Times Columnist David] Brooks thinks, are interested in substantive political issues. They decry the dangers of expanding the national debt, increasing government spending and putting government in command of the health care sector." Barone's article here
I can't remember a time when Democrats weren't contemptuous of Republican leaders--I certainly believed Ronald Reagan was just a dumb movie star who read lines when I was a Democrat. That's all I heard from the media and my colleagues. And how many times did you see Bush portrayed as a knuckle dragging, cowboy cartoon with huge ears? And unfortunately, like small children who are abused and grow up doubting their abilities, many RINOs behave as they are told they believe. The Harry Reid racism flap is just the latest of letting the Democrats set the agenda. Everyone in both parties knows he isn't a racist, but they also know there's a double standard for what can be said, thought or acted upon. Without a moment's reflection, our President can blast the Cambridge police as racist, but waits 3 days to say anything about terrorists. The time to wring the Reid comment out and hang it out to dry is the next time a Republican says macaca or water buffalo and the Democrats scream RACIST! Then rally the troops. Go after speech codes that do nothing but divide. Reid should go down in history for the comfort he gave our enemies during time of war not for using the word "Negro," which many people still use, or calling Obama light skinned, which he is because his mother was white teenager impregnated by an older married man and who didn't have an abortion.

The Signage at the 9/12 Protest

From a friend of a friend of a friend--Paula's account of 9/12 in DC. And this is just a small part of it. But it will probably go viral, and you'll see it.

Signage was amazing. . .swastikas everywhere. . .well, not exactly. I saw one sign that had two swastikas on it but the message was "Never Again." I carried two signs: "Don't ruin the health-care that saved my life" with a pink breast cancer ribbon and "to PresBO: if you misrepresent, we will call you out." I guess the last one could be considered a threat, but wasn't considered that when the president said it. Hobie's signs were pretty extreme: "Stop the Spending" and "Cut the Bureaucracy." Most signs were home-made, as we can't afford those slick things used by the unions.

American ingenuity in slogans always amazes me. Some of my random favorites were:

    -- a very artistic skull and crossbones draped in black: "He lied, Grandma died"

    -- picture of MLK: "he had a dream".....picture of BHO: "we got a nightmare"

    -- "czar strangled banner" - a "flag" with pictures of the 30+ czars on the field of blue

    -- "even my dog has a birth certificate"

    -- "ACORN: because every pimp needs a federally funded home" (if you don't understand this one, you've not done your homework)

    -- "Democrats have ACORN; Republicans need to grow some NUTS"

    -- "bankrupting America - one unread bill at a time"

    -- "tell the czar the peasants are pissed"

    -- "28 years ago I fled communism and now it is catching up with me"

    -- "Obamacare = Rationed Care," held by a well-costumed grim reaper

    -- a picture of a backbone, and the words "Republicans need to grow one"

    -- "national health care is like a hospital gown - you think you are covered but you are not" - you can imagine the visual that went with that.

    -- "Congressional pink slips - coming soon"

    -- "Stop bailing - you're drowning my kids"

    -- "Truly toxic assets - U.S. Senate and House...stop whining and start resigning"

    -- "seniors should not become shovel-ready projects"

    -- "we are here to give corrupt public servants end-of-job counseling"

    -- "get your hands off my private sector"

    -- "what about transparency?"

    -- "under Barack, America will go Ba-roke"

    -- "I love my country but not this government'

    -- "Bankrupt America?....yes we can"

    -- "pucker up, Nancy...kiss my astroturf" (again, if you don't understand...homework time)

    -- "Save the Constitution"

    -- "Will the real Barack Obama please stand up?"

    -- "stop, think, read, vote"

    -- "Bush Republicans bankrupted America - Obama socialists are destroying what is left"

    and my personal favorite,

    -- "Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant." - James Madison
Interestingly enough, Rep. Joe Wilson was the man of the day, garnering more references than Obama or anyone else. Lots of signs indicated that, although he said it in the wrong place, the sentiment was correct. Not just about the president, but about most politicians.

And now they gather and groove at Tea Parties and Obamacare Town Halls

Woodstock. 40 years later. The boomers can get real mad at you when you try to take something away from them, like drugs (the helpful kind), hip replacements, valve repairs, prostate exams, colonoscopies, MRIs, heart monitors, AIDS cocktails, flu vaccines, radiographs, echo cardiograms, insulin, Lipotor, etc. It's nice that recent research continues to find the long term benefits of aspirin, but "take one and call me later," is just not going to fly with this group. They are not their parents' elder generation!

Young ladies protest Obama and health plan



From left to right
    Reverend Wright told you wrong. We love this Christian nation Obama.

    Always proud of my country, Michelle. First time to be dumbfounded by the President.

    Love my country? You betcha!

    Obama's nuts (with ACORN logo).
Tarhill Pundit says, "I spoke to these ladies for a bit until we got seperated. They are big Sarah Palin fans, like myself, and were very educated on the issues. Some might call them radicals but I prefer to call them realists. . . Planned Parenthood was out in full force, petitioning for “Women’s Health Care Rights.” Because unlike preventive screening for cervical cancer, breast cancer, and STDs we just can’t get enough abortions these days!"

Obama at Notre Dame

Actually, if I were a student or faculty member there, I just wouldn't attend. Marching around seems a bit disrespectful to the Office of the President. And that would be last time they'd see a dollar from me during the annual alumni funds drive. Each time the U. of I. hits me up for money, I write a note on the card, "Not until you get rid of terrorist Bill Ayres," and mail it back in the envelope.

Support an honorary degree? For what? After all, he believes it is OK to stab an unborn baby in the skull and suck out her brain so that she can be technically born dead before the rest of the body emerges. No other President that I know of has ever held such a radical, inhumane view, and very, very few American law makers are feministas to that extreme. Notre Dame is a Roman Catholic institution, a church that has always protected the unborn, the sick and diseased, the aging, the mentally challenged and ill. They've lost their marbles or dropped their rosary on this one.

However, when liberals, Democrats, progressives and anarchists demonstrate on campuses, traditionally nothing happens to them. Instead, the speaker usually goes home, or is shouted down or is removed for his own safety. Perhaps I just haven't found the right source but I'm trying to find links to the pre-emptive arrests for the various Bush protests. Was it Cindy when she was camping out on his private property? Or maybe the Code Pink Chorus line dancing outside the hospital when he was visiting wounded war veterans? There are records of people getting arrested at the actual event because I'm sure that's a real crowd control and safety problem. But the people at Notre Dame are getting arrested and harassed two weeks in advance when the President wasn't even there.
    "Former Illinois U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes and 21 other protesters were arrested this morning [May 8] when they refused to leave the Notre Dame campus during a protest of President Obama's upcoming commencement address there, authorities said.

    "Former Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes and 17 others have been arrested [May 14] after marching on to the University of Notre Dame campus to protest President Obama's commencement speech Sunday."

    “On May 1, anti-abortion activist Randall Terry and another man were arrested on campus while pushing strollers containing dolls covered in fake blood.

    On May 8, Keyes and 21 others, many of them pushing strollers containing dolls covered in fake blood, were arrested.”

    “[On May 15] About 35 people, many of them carrying anti-abortion signs, were standing on the four corners outside the school's front gate shortly before noon when a group of about 40 people led by Keyes and Terry marched up. . . After speaking, Keyes then led a smaller group onto campus. They made it about 100 yards on campus before they were stopped by campus security. Keyes was taken into custody immediately, and the others were told to leave or they would be arrested.”
Librarians, who are very brave, bold, and politically left, protested Laura Bush, a former librarian, who gave a speech at the American Library Association. I don't remember if anyone called in the cops on them. Laura and George Bush are class acts. So different from that noisy, hyper-belligerent gang of thugs in charge of the country now.

Photos of the library protest

Pretty quiet as protests go. A grad student told me someone from security stopped by and left--I guess a bunch of old folks waving signs about books isn't too threatening. I wore scarlet and gray and made my own signs. Some of the media was there--must have been a slow news day in Columbus. I did enjoy talking to some of the grad students--they are very knowledgeable about computers, but believe the books too are necessary. They don't want to wait 3-4 days to get it from Akron or Youngstown. One man married to a librarian who works in another city says her public library depends on DVDs to keep the circulation records up.

Story about the protest here.

Channel 4 story here. I'm on about 2 seconds in the video at the beginning.

Why the Axelrod-Rahm team feared the tea parties

This Texan, Katrina Pierson, knows the dangers of socialism, she knows the founding fathers, she knows her choices.
