SOME INCONVENIENT TRUTHS

Did you know that black people represent approximately thirteen percent of our population? Did you further know that between 1980 and 2008, according to the Department of Justice statistics, black perpetrators committed 52% of the homicides in this country and that those homicides were committed by fifteen to thirty-four year olds? That group represents three percent of the black population. So then 52% of homicides in this country are committed by 3% of a population of 13% of Americans. While math is not my specialty, it doesn’t take much calculation to realize that black people kill a lot of people and incidentally most of their victims are black.

We also know that white people are twice as likely to be killed by police officers as black people even though black people commit at least as much crime if not more than white people.

Liberals bemoan the fact that our prisons are populated largely by black inmates. While that is a fact, the reason is that on a per capita basis, black people commit far more crimes that do whites.

Let’s not forget that this “Black Lives Matter” group got its start from the Ferguson lie. When Michael Brown attempted to kill a police officer, he himself was killed in self defense. His cohort in crime lied and told the press that Brown had his hands up and was saying don’t shoot when he was killed. That has proven to be a complete lie.

Since that lie was published, hundreds of people have been killed in Baltimore, Chicago, and many cities across this country. Just today I saw a group of black protesters marching with their hands in the air chanting “don’t shoot.” This is the mantra of the “Black Lives Matter” hate group. It is all based on a lie. A lie incidentally pushed and promulgated by the liberal media who must take a lot of the blame for  the bloodshed it has caused.

There are some very simple answers to the problem black people seem to have with the police. It starts and ends with the word “respect.” If a police officer says stop, you stop. If he says go, you go. If he says I am going to detain you until I can figure out what’s going on, you submit to the detention. If he places you under arrest, you submit to the arrest. If you fight, you are going to lose. He is armed with a gun, a vest, and back up. After the smoke clears, then and only then can any discussion be held. The facts will come out and if you are innocent, you will be released.

Contrary to the news that is being spewed today, the police don’t plant evidence. They don’t shoot people just because they are having a bad day or because someone is a minority. Black or white you are far more likely to be killed by a falling meteor than by a policeman’s service weapon.

The so-called black leaders also known as “race baiters” are doing no favors to anyone by continuing to preach hate and fear. They should be preaching trust and respect for law and order. If there was no police presence in the black community, the murder rate would soar and of course the victims would be the residents of that community.

Black people must stop seeing themselves as victims. They fare better in America than in any nation on earth. They say they want to be treated as equals. That just isn’t true. What they want is to be treated as a special group with special privilege. That isn’t going to happen.

You want to succeed? Stop making babies out of wedlock. Obey the law. Get educated. Respect law and law enforcement. Pull your pants up and clean up your language.

Some may find these suggestions inconvenient. Too bad. The truth is often inconvenient.

WHAT IS THAT SMELL?

A strange odor is emanating across the land and it is coming from Washington DC. It is a smell resembling rotting fish over an open septic tank. As your dedicated reporter I decided to investigate just where the smell was coming from.

My investigation has led me to three sources. Number one is the criminal behavior of Hillary Clinton. She has been dirty for her entire time in the public eye. For the sake of this inquiry however, we will concentrate only on her obvious violation of our secrecy laws. Without a doubt she exposed this country to great harm by her willful negligent handling of top secret information through her “Mickey Mouse” e-mail server. She broke the law and should be held accountable before a criminal court for her violations.

The second source of the odor came from the “accidental” meeting between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the tarmac. This “accident” was set up and orchestrated by the Clintons for the purpose of intimidating Lynch into refusing to indict Hillary regardless of the outcome of the FBI investigation. It is also obvious that Lynch was easy pickings and very receptive to this unprofessional and unethical interference by Bill Clinton. There was an additional bone tossed to Lynch, that of being able to retain her job if Hillary is elected.

Finally in my exhaustive examination of the issues, FBI Director James Comey bowed to political pressure by suggesting that no charges should be filed against Hillary even though she clearly is guilty of many, many violations of law. Obviously somebody got to him. This after we were led to believe he was an honorable man. That turned out to be another lie.

These three events have brought about an odor that is literally choking the life out of our Republic.

The basis for our freedom is law and order. No one is above the law. I remember when Richard Nixon said that if a President does something it can’t be illegal because the President is the law. Wrong again Dicky boy. As Nixon found out, the law applies to him just like it applies to everyone else in this country.

We, the people, have a choice today. It is the most serious choice we as voters have ever faced. If we sit by and allow this criminal political hack to become the President as well as the Commander-in-Chief, we deserve the outcome, and it won’t be pretty. The actions of Hillary, Lynch, and Comey have neutered law in this country. They have announced, by their actions and findings, that if you are connected, the law doesn’t apply to you. They all have another thought coming.

CNN announced that Hillary was thrilled to be exonerated by the FBI investigation. How could you be thrilled if you were found to be a liar as well as a criminally negligent handler of state secrets on national television in front of the entire country? I would be embarrassed. Most honorable people would resign. In some cultures, suicide would be the only alternative. Oh, my mistake. I was referring to honorable people. It is tragically obvious that none of the people I have identified above are honorable people. We had the opportunity to send the Clintons back to their trailer park in Arkansas a few years ago and the Congress let them off the hook. Big mistake.

The only way to get rid of the smell coming out of Washington is to change the people in Washington. If this country elects Hillary Clinton, the entire world will laugh at us. Worse than that, our enemies will doubtless attempt to work their evil, feeling that we are too weak and certainly too stupid to do anything about it.

Today I am ashamed of the FBI. Elliot Ness is rolling over in his grave to think that the Director could be bought off so cheaply. So much for untouchables.

ENGLAND HAS DECLARED HER INDEPENDENCE

The citizens of Great Britain have voted themselves out of the European Union. It appears the Brits were tired of the “status quo.” They were tired of foreigners coming into their country taking their jobs and the easy, liberal welfare benefits foreigners received  paid for by the British taxpayers. So, the Brits declared their independence from the European Union. Hmmm, I wonder where they got the idea to declare their independence.

Isn’t it ironic? Today we celebrate our independence from that very same country. We declared our independence from England just a few short decades ago. We were tired of the subjugation. We were tired of taxation without representation. In all ways we were tired of being governed and controlled by a foreign government so we said enough. I think the average Brit felt much the same way as did our forefathers. We needed to be independent. We needed to be responsible for ourselves and so did they.

Of course this isn’t going to be easy for them. It wasn’t easy for us. I hope and I believe that it won’t come to armed conflict, but the Brits are going to have to fight for their sovereignty and their independence. The other Europeans who have gotten used to Britain’s money are not going to give up easily. Germany has announced that any trade agreement between the EU and England will only be allowed if Great Britain continues to let foreign workers into their country to work. This will be a major sticking point because this is one of the primary reasons the Brits wanted out of the EU. England will close their borders as any independent country would.

If you listen to the average man in the street the British are also fed up with the increasing number of immigrants coming into their country. They are tired of the increase in crime and the terrible cost to the average taxpayer that this immigration has caused. They are tired of neighborhoods turning into ghettos. Their vote has caused the resignation of their sitting Prime Minister, David Cameron, and will create a new government. They will be in a state of flux for a time but I believe they will overcome the obstacles and succeed.

How similar is the situation we face today in our own country. In fact, we may have to declare our independence again. But this time it will be our independence from what our government has become. The reason Trump is as popular as he is seems rather simple. The average man in the street is tired of what we have become and the direction we are headed. America has always been a “center right” country. Obama was an experiment that has obviously failed. Hillary is another experiment. I sincerely believe she also would be a failure if for any reason America chose her to be President. Today she is more apt to be in prison than in the White House.

For some unknown reason today’s liberals seem to despise our traditions. They seem not to want to be governed by a constitution that has served us so well for over two hundred years. Many see themselves as citizens of the world rather than just Americans. I believe they are in for a jolt come November. Traditional Americans are going to take this country back. I fear for us if this doesn’t happen at the ballot box. There is growing unrest all around this country. Gun sales are going through the roof. People are getting ready for the worst case scenario. That worst case scenario would be the election of any Clinton, period.

But today we celebrate. We celebrate our courage and our grit. We declared ourselves independent before and we may well do it again.

Happy Birthday America.

WE NEED TO GET THIS OVER WITH

The FBI has been involved in a criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton and other members of her criminal enterprise for well over a year. It is not now nor has it ever been a “security review” or whatever Hillary calls it. It is a criminal investigation. All during this investigation there have been little leaks released which clearly would lead any thinking person to the conclusion that indictments were on the horizon.

At the same time this criminal investigation is going on, Hillary is running for President. It boggles the mind.

The first point I want to make is this. The FBI doesn’t go through these types of investigations without good reason. There is now and there has been sufficient   evidence to conclude that crimes have been committed. And not just with the e-mail scandal. There is evidence that favors were bought and paid for by foreign governments and foreign individuals as well as our own citizens while Hillary was Secretary of State. That money has been dutifully deposited in the catch-all cesspool known as “The Clinton Foundation” which incidentally is being managed by Chelsea Clinton for a salary of $3,000,000 per year. The dirty money in this so-called fund is in the hundreds of millions.

And so the Democrats wait for the other shoe to fall. Obama had withheld his endorsement of Hillary waiting for the coast to clear. Joe Biden is crossing his fingers. Bernie doesn’t know what to think. He knows that the system is rigged against him but he also knows that she may well be in an orange jumpsuit by Election Day. Meanwhile the country waits.

Attention FBI Director James Comey, quit slow walking this investigation. If you have a case, get the indictments and serve them. Attention Justice Dept. Stop looking for ways to excuse this criminal activity and get on with the jobs you are supposed to do. It is obvious to anyone who pays attention that Hillary Clinton has violated the law and exposed this country and our top secrets to foreign eyes. There is little doubt also that the Clintons have become obscenely wealthy by selling access and favors to anyone who is willing to pay the price. By withholding the information from the American people, the FBI is exposing us all to a huge problem.

Here is what will happen. If, after all that has been leaked, Hillary isn’t indicted, there will be riots in the street. If the FBI waits much longer in this election year to release their findings and she is indicted, there will be riots in the street by both Bernie fans and Hillary fans. Quite frankly it is unfair to all parties to slow walk this investigation.

Personally I don’t give a “tinker’s damn” if Hillary is inconvenienced. I don’t even care if the Democrats are thrown into a bigger mess than they already have. My concern is for this country. The sight of a Presidential candidate doing the “perp” walk in an orange jumpsuit, while appealing to many of us, would be horrendous to the country’s psyche. I worry about the financial markets. The sooner this is dealt with and past us, the better for all concerned. Hillary doesn’t have the grace to do the right thing and bow out. She is going to wait for the judicial system to bow her out. Oh well.

To those of you who don’t believe this country will prosecute Hillary, let me give you this bit of truth. If we don’t, the very idea of law and order will be thrown out of the windows. The Justice Dept. will have no choice. We just need to get this over with.

MORE ON GUN CONTROL

When I was seventeen years old and still awaiting graduation from high school, I joined the Army. They allowed me to stay on in school until I graduated.

Within days of my induction, and still a seventeen year old kid, I was assigned a weapon. It was an M1 rifle. We were required to take our rifle with us wherever we went. At night our weapons were stacked up in formation for easy and rapid reach in the event of an emergency. The fact that this was peacetime made no difference.

Again, within days of my being assigned a rifle, I began my training in the use of this rifle. There were endless hours of training in care and cleaning of the weapon as well as hours of “dry firing” to get used to the trigger pull and the proper stance when firing. I listened and I paid attention to the instructions. Also during my eight week basic training I was required to learn and shoot many other types of weaponry such as .45 caliber handguns, machine guns of several calibers as well as hand grenades.

Next we were taken to the gun range where we were finally allowed to actually shoot the weapons. Some days we had firing line duty where we shot the targets and some days we had target duty where we erected the targets and repaired them after the shooting. It was hot, June at Ft. Benning, Georgia, and it was tiring.

But, because I had paid attention as well as having been involved with hunting most of my life, I was a very successful shooter. I qualified as, what the Army designated, “Expert.” I was awarded a medal to affix to my uniform. Later on during my service, I was assigned to a military rifle team where I was involved in shooting competitions. It was great duty.

In addition to the above military training I also have attended and graduated from the NRA gun safety school as well as a sixteen week civilian police academy where I was trained in police tactics and weapon use.

Now why am I telling you all of this? The first thing I want you to know is this. I am qualified to carry and operate weaponry of many kinds and calibers. The second thing is that there are literally millions of us in this country with similar experiences. Many if not most of us are armed. Many if not most of us would be ready and available to take up arms to defend this country and our way of life at a moment’s notice.

When some little slick haired, “metrosexual” politician with shiny manicured nails tells me that I shouldn’t have the right to carry or use guns, I am insulted. Most of these so-called leaders in office today have never had any kind of military service. Many are  protected by armed bodyguards. Our own President doesn’t have a clue and even worse than that, he refuses to listen to the military experts who are there to advise him. There is no one at any position in life or office who is qualified to tell me that I should not be allowed to carry and use guns.

The Second Amendment guarantees my right to have guns. That right is there to protect me and this country from our own government and from these little politicians who think they run the show.

Since the shooting in Orlando, the noise has gotten louder. The liberals are screaming for gun control. They can’t stand the fact that I have the right and the weaponry to defend myself. To them all I have this to say. You better hope that I and others like me will be there to take care of business should the need ever arise. You cannot have my guns. I will never allow you to take away my ability to defend myself. So, get over it.

NOT NOW AND NOT EVER

And so it begins again. Some low life radical Islamist terrorist walks into a nightclub which caters to homosexuals and starts shooting, hitting well over one hundred individuals, killing so far forty-eight, before meeting his only possible fate, that of being gunned down by police.

A brief examination of the facts shows that the gunman obviously chose this target because, one, it was full of homosexuals, and two, the target would be soft because no one there would be armed making his the only gun.

Under Sharia law homosexual acts are not only illegal, but are punishable by death. In fact most Middle Eastern countries which are predominantly Muslim and under Sharia law enforce this law by liberally using the death penalty for homosexuals. Killing homosexuals is encouraged and ordained by this ancient law. You want to go to Heaven? You want your seventy plus virgins waiting for you? Just kill a homosexual. The more you kill, the greater your place is in Heaven.

I say again, and so it begins. What I am referring to is the incessant talk of gun control. Obama, instead of identifying the killer as a radical Islamist, concerned himself more with the fact that the killer had a gun. Hillary has and will use this opportunity to rail against advocates of the Second Amendment. These liberal morons cannot bring themselves to understand that whether this clown had a gun or just a bomb made of household cleansers, his intent was to kill and kill he was going to do.

I have a simple question. What if, in the crowd of over three hundred attendees at the nightclub, ten or fifteen of them had conceal carry permits and were armed. What if they took out their weapons and mowed down the shooter early in his assault? Remember this killer shot over a hundred times which means he had to stop and reload several times during the assault. We have heard it before and it bears repeating. The only way to stop a gun is with a gun. The time for negotiating and conversation has ended. The time for shooting back has begun. Unless you can run at 3800 feet per second, you cannot outrun a fired bullet.

The answer is clear. Instead of there being too many guns, as the liberals would have you believe, the people in this nightclub suffered from there not being enough guns.

Over the coming months there will be investigations of this shooter and his associates. His family will be investigated as well as all of his friends. We will doubtlessly learn that he was already a radical Muslim. We will learn that he hated all that this country stands for. In his self righteous mind we will learn that he felt justified in killing homosexuals or anybody else that he thought might be infidels. We will learn that some were suspicious of him but could not bring themselves to report on his activities because of “political correctness.”

The liberals will, of course, figure out a way to blame America for this moron. We were not nice enough to him and his kind or we didn’t let in enough of his relatives as refugees. We are just too mean and we deserve the retribution of the ancient Muslim world.

Here is some bad news for that Muslim world. Eventually we may to have to go over there and end their existence. Either they clean up their acts and learn to coexist with the modern world, or they will meet their virgins much earlier than they expect. We will never revert to the seventh century. We will never submit to their Sharia Law.

This final note to the gun control advocates. We, the American people, protected as we are by the Second Amendment, will never turn over our guns to anybody. You got that? Never to anybody. Not now and not ever.

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR HONOR

I was watching Congressman Jason Chaffetz, R. Utah this morning talking about illegal aliens who have been convicted of crimes, sentenced to jail, and then released when their sentence is served. These convicts are not deported as the law requires but rather just released back onto our streets. Mr. Chaffetz was upset and concerned as he should be. When asked by the interviewer why this was happening and what Congress was doing about it, Chaffetz said, “They don’t give us handcuffs. We refer it to the Justice Department.”

Wrong answer. This is classic passing of the buck. The fact is the Congress has something much better than handcuffs. They control the purse strings. Jason Chaffetz is Chairman of the House Oversight Committee and as such has authority that puts handcuffs to shame, so go out and oversee. The problem is simple. The Congress, a Republican majority duly elected by the people for the purpose of reining in uncontrollable government excess, isn’t doing their job.

I get weekly emails from my Congressman citing all the problems facing us as a country. What I don’t hear from him is how we are going to solve them. I know about the problems. What I want to hear is what are we going to do about them.

It is no wonder that the electorate is upset. We elected a Republican Congress for the purpose of controlling Barack Obama and his minions and they are just not getting it done and now they want to be re-elected to continue the “fight.”

The liberal policies of the past seven years are destroying our economy and the Congress is just sitting by and allowing it to continue. Obamacare has been described as the biggest single deterrent to progress in our economy in recent history. The unemployment numbers are pure fiction. Illegal aliens are overrunning our borders and now Obama wants to allow Syrian “refugees” into this country without proper vetting.

We are also now learning that our own government lied to us in order to get this “Mickey Mouse” so-called treaty signed with Iran. Where is our Congressional oversight? While all of this is happening the media is busy tearing up the presses reporting on bathroom parity. It’s like I woke up on the other side of the universe. If I see a man going into a public restroom where my wife, daughter, or granddaughter has just entered, he is going to have a much bigger problem than where to tinkle. Just saying.

All this having been said, I happen to like Jason Chaffetz. I like many of the people we have elected to Congress. We just have to insist they do the jobs they were hired to do. Our continued success as a country isn’t guaranteed.  It requires constant monitoring and effort. We are a law and order country. Nobody gets to break the law and nobody gets to choose just what laws they will obey regardless of their rank or station in life. People like the Clintons, who continue to rape and pillage the world for their own gain, must be put away. We have prisons for lawbreakers and we need to use them.

I am getting to be an old man. I have never before seen the mess we have gotten ourselves into. There is no substitute for honor and law. To those of you who still support Hillary, shame on you. Your blindness to her criminal activity will come back and haunt you if she stays out of prison.

Readers of this blog, contact your Representatives and insist they take care of business. They were hired for a specific purpose. They have to turn this runaway train around. The country you save may well be your own.
