Welcome

A Joe Biden Presidency may be one the greatest threats Americans have ever endured. The United States finally reached energy independence after depending on people who mostly hate us for our energy needs. One of the first things Evil Joe did was to cancel the big pipeline that would help the U.S. be energy independent in oil and gas. Have you noticed how quickly gas prices at the pump are rising since Joe took office? Now you can expect rising prices on nearly everything since so much of our commerce depends on transportation driven by gas and oil. Welcome Joe! Welcome inflation!

Bear in mind that Radicals, who seem to be the driving force in the Democratic Party currently, have been advocating doubling or tripling the price of gas for years. Guess where those Radicals are now? If you guessed in the White House advising Joe Biden you are nobody’s fool.

The above indicates gross incompetence and a complete disregard for the well being of the Anerican People. But this is only the beginning of Joe’s Presidency and perhaps the ending of a great nation, Joe and his partners in crime pushed through The House a stimulus bill that in one fell swoop spends more than the costs of funding World War II. One of the problems with this bill is it has more to do with bailing out Democratic Politicians who have amassed huge deficits in their local government by obligating themselves to pay for things they have no money to pay for. How corrupt of Joe and his allies. They belong in jail.

What else is wrong with the Democratic Bail Out? We now have a vaccine for Covid 19 and restrictions should be lifted to get the economy rolling. Didn’t we hear Joe on the news recently threating to keep or reinstate restrictions? We would not be surprised if the Democrats don’t opt for that since they seem bent on maximum abuse of the people they so disdain.

What else is wrong with the bailout? There is no money available which means borrowing money is an option for paying for the bailout. We owed so much money before the Democratic Bailout our debt would be a challenge to pay off. The other option is for the government to print more money. Hello Joe! Hello inflation. Expect to see massive inflation as long as Joe is here to vex us. Now we hear Joe and his partners in crime are starting a “public relations campaign”, really a propaganda campaign, to convince the public that their Democratic Bailout was a wonderful idea. We assume the taxpayers will be paying for this manipulaton as well.

If you think Joe has done enough to abuse the American People he is just beginning. By announcing even before the election he would not refuse admittance to any immigrant, those applying legallly are apparently the exception, he encouraged thousands of people to come here ilegally. In these unvetted hoards will be many criminals, probably including many cartel members who couldn’t get in legally, along with people bringing contagious diseases. Biden is breaking our immigration laws and should be impeached and removed from office. Good luck on that happening. The forces of evil control the House, Senate and the White House.

In addition to making the U.S, unsafe from criminals and deseases after inviting illegals to come, he is burdening taxpayers with millions of dollars to support all these people with money we do not have. In addition to these crimes Joe is a party to child abuse and sexual assualt. We know little about how all the minors got in the Biden Caravans. Did the cartels purchase them? Did they tell their parents that once the children got in the parents would be welcome? According to knews reports a large number of women in the Biden Caravans are sexually assualted. Remember Joe gave the green light for thousands to come.

We may need to be more compassionate toward Joe. We know he is having cognitive problems as evidenced by his handlers keeping him out of public as much as possible during the campaigning as well as not making him available to answer reporters questions currently. It is possible that Joe does not know what is going on and is a puppet of his leftist advisors. Can you understand how it easy it would be for leftists to have complete control over someone with cognitive issues. Should Joe have a complete medical exam to determine is he has the mental ability for the office?

One of the most blatant forms of discrimination in the U.S. is whether or not others consider us beautiful. This is a serious form of dicrimination affecting equal opportunity for many. It starts in elemantary school. Popularity does not depend on accomplishment but on what is set as a standard in our society of beauty. Even the teachers are involved in this systemic beaulty discrimination. Remember the kids other students referred as the teache’s pet? Do you remember they were all considered handsome or beautiful by our faulty social norms?

This discrimination continued into high school. Winning a contest to be an class officer was in reality a beauty contest rather than an acknowledgement of their ability. Remember the High School Cheerleaders? Another beauty contest to get in rather than skill based? Do you remember any girl invited into the club who was not considered pretty by our discriminatory social norms?

And what about girls forced by social norms to fawn over guys society consideres handsome? How hurtful that had to be to to the guys whom society does not consider handsome. And likewise boys fawning over girls who society considers pretty. How hurtful to the other girls. It has been said that ninety per cent of the guys want to date ten per cent of the girls. This systemic discrimination has an adversal effect on ninety percent of youung ladies whose need for self esteem is so critical as teen agers.

The discrimination continues into adulthood. When an interview is required for a job interview or entrance into college. Studies have shown that interviewers are more favorable to those whom society considers beautiful. These aforementioned things are as evil as white privilege. Being born white gives one certain privileges like sucess without effort. It is the same in beauty privilege. If you are born pretty you will have unfair benefits all your life.

You might argue their is nothing we can do about an accident of birth but contary to that defeatist attitude there is much we can do. We can begin in kindergarten teaching children that beauty is ugly and ugly is beauty. Federal Funds should be spent to teach children about the evils of this blatant form of discrimination. In high school cheerleaders should be chosen by lottery to make sure the playing field is level. No longer should there be hurtful feelings from girls who realize they are not considered beautiful by society. Class officers should be chosen by lottery as well. School Boards should be mandated by law to ensure that all boys are considered handsome and all girls are considered beautiful.

In college and employment interviews, in person interviews should be banned to make sure people are not being discriminated against because of looks. Laws have been passed prohibiting discrimination based on sex and race. Beautyism should take its rightful place along with rascism and and sexism as a violation of our civil rights.

“Hollywood” plays a big role in perpetuating this discrimination by oly choosing those our false social norms consider handsome or beautiful for leading roles. Those not consdiered handsome or beautiful are chosed to be the “bad guys” Who wants the role of bad guy? And consider the feelings of those chosen, how shattered they must feel inside as well as the reduced income available for not being pretty. “Hollywood” must be forced to level the playing field.

We propose laws be made punishing people who even have thoughts that others are handsome or beautiful. Making statements that others are handsome or beautiful should be a Federal Crime. Judges should have some latitude in sentencing people for this crime against humanity. Just like judges can sentence people to attend government sponsored re-education classes ,like they have in China, we should have classes on beautyism available here. Participants should be required to take a test to determine if they “see the light”and began to think correctly. If not they should repeat the classs until they become politically correct.

If you agree that this systemic form of discrimination is evil consider sharing this blog with your friends. By all means write your congressmen demanding that they make beauty discrimination a part of the Civil Rights Act.

There are a number of organizations in the United States that are working to destoy our freedoms and trying to control our lives. Their guise is racial justice or equality while their real purpose is to gain power over every one else. They promote the idea that Capitalism has failed to bring us equality and Marxism is a better way which is a lie and the promoters know this. None other than Jesus said the poor all always among us and that is true in a Marxist Society as well. There is just more of them under Marxism. But Marxists are not interested in helping the poor, only themselves.

Two of the greatest evils of men is the lust for power and wealth. In a Marxist Society a small minority get to exercise both of these evils. They make all the decisions in central planning and get to use their power to enrich themselves. Thus the masses have equality in being equally improvished while the beloved leaders enjoy more lavish life styles.

Once Marxists take control the leaders have to snuff out freedom of speech, religion and control the news media. This is to insure their corruption will not be revealed to the masses who would, if they still had freedom to do so, vote them out of office.

Some of the most prominent Marxist Organizations in the U.S. are Black Lives Matter, Antifa, some labor unions, some women’s organizations, a lot of social media and much of the news media. They have common goals but have not merged into one organization to make war on freedoms we enjoy as U.S. citizens.

So what is the glue that holds these organizations together to help them
with their evil goals? We submit our belief that it is the Democratic Party. The Democrats like to say they are a “big tent’. What they do not say if they will embrace anyone who they think will help them get power.

Marxist organizations hated Trump because he was a successsful Capitalist whom they perceived as a threat to their attempt to destoy freedoms and enslave the people of the U.S. They relentlessly attacked him the entire time he was in office. The Democrats in an UnHoly alliance with the news media joined the attacks and even attempted to impeach him twice. It is worth noting that some Democrat Politicians actually told the truth and admitted their goal in the last failed attempt was to prevent Trump from running for office again.

The Democrat Party is jumping on the Marxist bandwagon. They are in full support of big Marxist issues like gun control. Why is gun control such a big issue with Marxists? They want to make sure people don’t have guns to fight back when they try to enslave us.

Then there is the Bad New Green Deal. The Democrats are moving slowly to take over control of the energy section of our economy. The first move was Biden’s cancellation of the popeline that would help this country maintain energy independence. Soon to come will be govermment controls to force up energy prices.

The Democrats are big supporters of the Cancel Culture which attempts to denigrate many Americans who contributed much to the building of this nation. It started with attacks on dead white people who served the Confederacy and then expanded to white people such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and even the late Senator Harry Byrd who was Democrat. Even their own Democrats are not spared. They encourage tearing down statues, removing names of the deceased from buildings and military instalations. The Marxist’s attacked dead white patriots in print attempting to divide us by race which is a Marxist thing to do. If you think Democrats were cheering on these evil people go to the head of the class.

The latest Democrat/marxist /social media/news media grand coalition is attempting to deny free speech to anyone who does not embrace Marxist thought. The Democrat Lawmakers are even trying to pass bills to suppress news agencies that don’t promote Marxist propaganda. With Democrats in control of the White House, House of Reprsentatives and Congress our freedoms are in grave peril.

Corrupt Democrats in the house and Senate, which we believe includes all of them, wasted millions in taxpayer money and everybody’s time in attempting to impeach Donald Trump on trumped up charges-forgive the pun-and failed miserably. That corruption and incompetence should have been a total embarrasement to Democrats but they even tried again to impeach Donald Trump after he left office. They were dumb enough to think they could impeach him of insurrection charges. How could people in a free country elect such fools to office?

Now we have a new revelation that one of the individuals who was arrested and charged in the Capitol Riot was one of their very own- a dedicated Marxist and regular at Black Lives Riots who already had pending charges for his actions in a riot elsewhere. This is the type of people the Democrats praise as peaceful demonstrators and racial justice advocates. According to newspapers reports he was seen on a video calling for revolution and burning down government buildings. He was also reported to be on video encouraging rioters at the Capitol as they broke into government offices. Isn’t that what happens at Black Lives Matter Riots? Now according to newspaper reports some Black Lives people are disowning him and suggesting he was an agent of Donald Trump, we presume to damage the sterling reputation of Black Lives Matter. Now can we expect that grand chorus of most of the News Media and the Democrat Party to chime in right on key singing the same song?

The attorneys for the person arrested, John Earl Sullivan, have released a contract he had to take videos of the “Assault”‘ on the Capitol. from CNN and NBC News. Many people feel most of the news media has become a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party and an apologist for the philophies of Karl Marx. Which brings up some questions about what these so called news organizations were trying to accomplish in hiring John Sullivan. Why did they hire John Sullivan when they had their own experienced camera people? What was agreed to verbally between John Sullivan and CNN anc NBC and not in the contract to avoid a paper traail?

Was this a staged insurrection compliments of CNN and NBC? Why did they hire a person who was already facing charges of inciting a riot in another city? Will John Sullivan’s attorneys work out a plea agreement with law enforcement in exchange for his cooperation in giving all the details of what CNN and NBC wanted him to accomplish?

Will CNN and NBC soon be facing charges of conspiracy to starting a insurection? Will high profile Democrats be implicated in a “staged insurrection” given the unholy alliance that some see between the Democratic Party and most of the news media to bring insurrection charges against Donald Trump?

President Biden seems to be trying to destroy The United States with his pen. One of his first executive orders or executive executions was the killing of thousands of jobs of people working on a pipeline that would help insure energy independence for the United States. This indicates his subservience to leftists who want to weaken the United States economically.

This pipe line after going through hearing after hearing and court case after court case was finally approved. With the stroke of his poison pen Biden destroyed thousands of jobs and undid years of hard work by people who care about the economic success of the United States. Now he will be likely to support the bad new green deal which radicals are supporting to attempt to control energy in our country and force us to pay exorbitant energy costs for inefficient expensive energy in their attempt to harm our economy.

Biden also wants to increase our taxes and that along with destroying employment in a time of economic downturn should be considered a crime against the people of the United States. Biden is a wealthy man and because of this he will still be able to enjoy a lavish life style while the citizens of the United States suffer from his mis deeds. How did he become wealthy serving as a government employee?

While incompetence might not be an impeachable offence breaking the laws of the land by a president should be. We have laws against illegal immigration and Biden is using his pen of supression against the people of the United States to circumvent the law and allow illegals to come into the United States. He even has said that no illegal immigrant would be sent back to their own country and would be allowed to enter the U.S.

Why should we citizens be horrified at Biden’s action. First he is trying to circumvent immigration laws by executive orders which should be an impeachable act. Biden and his leftist associates think that if we allow these illegal immigrants to come into this country they will eventually be allowed to become citizens and hope they will vote Democrat. Of course they would not bite the hand that feeds them. This would work wonderfully for Democratic/Leftist/Marxists who want one party rule that will give them complete control over everybody and everything in our nation.

There are other issues becides the Democrat attempted power grab. There is no way to vet these illegal trespassers. We do not know how many are criminals or have communicatiable diseases. Biden is putting U.S. citizens in peril as he attempts his political power grab. In addition his actions will cause millions of people to come here illegally. Our country has a huge debt from Socialist freebies which the Democrat/Marxists who control the Democratic Party promote. It is likely the only way this debt can be dealt with evertually is to print more money eroding the value of and confidence of the dollar or repudiating Government debt to U.S. debtors including government bondholders.

Biden’s illegal immigrants come here in poverty. They will need billions in aid from unwilling U.S. taxpayers for food, clothing, housing, medical care, education,welfare payments and legal expences to prevent deportation and to make their case that they deserve asylum. Unfortunately their are millions of people in the U.S. who think we can afford to support every one who wants come to the United States.

President Biden and his Maxists supporters could destroy the United States in four years. Consider how quickly Hitler siezed power in Germany after he succeeded in being elected to office in Germany. Biden needs to be impeached now before he and the Marxists can do more damage.

For years the United States was dependent on other nations for oil and gas. Most of these nations manipulated production to keep oil prices artificially high, affecting higher prices for nearly everything in our country. We might add most of those countries had contempt for the people of the United States. The high oil prices had a detrimental effect on our trade balance as well.

Finally we got a President named Trump who started getting rid of restrictions imposed by Democratic Administrations that prevented the United States from becoming gas and oil independent. These actions began to pay dividends and the United States insteading of importing oil and gas began to be an exporter. Marxists of if you prefer the modern term Progressives were alarmed. The goal of Marxists is to destroy the freedom’s we enjoy and take complete control over other people’s lives. With a country that is econonically strong that makes their job harder. With a Joe Biden, whose strings they pull, they set him into immediate action. One of good old Joe’s first order of business was to cancel the pipeline bringing oil to refinineries that would have keep the U.S. oil independent.

Next you can expect Joe to attempt to dismantle the oil and gas industry to jump on the Marxist’s bad new green deal scheme which will cost us taxpayers billions. The bad new green deal is an attempt by Marxists to control energy in the United States. In Marxist or Socialist Countries the government owns most of the means of production which is probably next on the agenda for the evil ones. Every thing Marxists do is not to benefit the people but to give them complete control of everybody and everything in our society. Then they can steal whatever they need to have a lavish life style while the people live in poverty.

Bernie Sanders, who seems to be the face of Socialism/Marxism is a text book example of what Marxists will be like if they gain complete political power. Bernie’s heart bleeds for the poor and the down trodden. So if he is concerned about the poor he is sharing his wealth with them isn’t he? Good luck on that. Bernie has a vacation home and recently got a huge advance on a book in an amount the poor do not earn in a lifetime. No on has asked Bernie why he does not sell his vacation home and give the money to the poor along with the book advance money. Maybe Bernie works so hard on behalf of the poor he feels he deserves a lavish llife style as a reward.

Having a President who is easily manipulated by left leaning radicals ia a frigtening peril.

Governor Northam of Virginia who has a history of doing stupid things without thinking them through, and costing taxpayers a lot of money is at it again. One previous misstep was his decision to remove a priceless piece of art, Robert E. Lee mounted on horseback in Richmond, Virginia which the Radical Marxist who are trying to destroy our cities, wanted removed and that was enough for “Taliban” Northam. This statue belongs to the People of Virginia and without determining what the majority of the people wanted he decided to have it removed to appease his marxist supporters. Now a lawsuit has been filed by a group of citizens to block removal which is costing taxpayers a lot of money. This is occurring because Governor Northam refuses to backdown from appeasing his suppporters. The governor will not likely ever give an accounting of the cost of defending the lawsuit to the people of Virginia.

All of this could have been avoided if if the Governor had made an effort to find out if a majority of Virginians supported removal and it could have done in an orderly manner if the majority so desired. Governor Northam did not even have a plan on what to do with the statue after removal. How incompetent was that?

Now we are reading reports that Governor Northam wants to spend millions of dollars of taxpayer’s money expanding Amtrak to areas of Southwest Virginia. Passenger rail service is a relic of the past. It made sence in the United States when it took days to go long distances before the miracle of air travel. Rail service makes sence in our large metropolitan areas to move commuters from one location to another.

Amtrak is an unecessary money pit. It has never made a profit in it’s existence and has to be subsized by the taxpayers to the tune of millions a year. It should be shut down, We know there are lots of people who advocate for Amtrak such as emplyees, suppliers for Amtrak, contractors who stand to make money for construction projects. the left leaning Richmond Times Dispatch and politicians who get a lot of policical contributions from these groups but that does not justify the existence of Amtrak. We could create employment by paying people to dig holes and cover them up again but who would advocate for that.

If Governor Northam is unchecked your tax dollars will be going down the Amtrak money Pit and then he would need a tax increase for his other projects. The Governor has a website where your can send him your comments. If you love money pits you can cheer him on but if not you can express your disapproval of throwing money into the Amtrak Money Pit.

This is an opinion blog and we welcome your comments to Governor Northam or to us.

Democrats realize this country will not accept a quick change to Socialism/Marxism so their plan is to bring it about slowly. When Donald Trump, the hated Capalist, announced his plans to run for president the Democrats did not take him seriously and were amused. As he began winning primaries they became alarmed and began unrelenting attacks trying to smear him. Soon most of the national news media, who surveys have indicated are mostly Democrats, joined in the fun.

If Donald Trump won the election that would derail their Socialist/Marxist Agenda for four years and possibly eight. Democrats Politicians and most of national news media focused on Donald Trump’s infidelity, which many of his critics along with some former Democratic Presidents have had experience with, and Trump’s Business Dealings.

Most of the news media has become a propaganda organization for the Democratic Party and an apologist for Marxism. They have been relentless in their attacks on Trump. The Associated Press, which was once a respected news agency, in their “news articles” when quoting Trump always added”without proof”. In every article his actions were either illegal illigal or morally wrong. He was even accused of being raciest, which the press likes to accuse people of when they are not advancintg the cause of Socialism/Marxism.

The Democrats, with the backing of most of the press even tried to impeach Trump for Russian Collusion , Even with some FBI Agents breaking rules and probably laws to frame Trump the impeachment failed. Even the FBI admitted their was no evidence sufficient for laws being broken. Not to be deterred the Democrats still tried. Now they are trying again. Trump encouraged his supporters to demonstrate in Washington, D.C. The Democrats have their own dictonary. The Democratic Standard Dictionary defines encouraging Republicans to demonstrate as planning an insurrection.

Where were these Democrats when their allies in Black Lives Matter were trying to destroy our cities? We will tell you. Some of them joined Black Lives Matter, even using bullhorns to encourage them. Most of them referred to the insurrectionists as peaceful protesters or social justice reformers. We hope you noticed that when Democratic followers did violence the Democrats called them peaceful protesters and when Republicians did the same thing they were involved in insurrection.

Now the Democrats are involved in another fake impeachment claiming Trump started an insurrection. Why are they doing this when Trump is leaving office? They are hoping to have enough corrupt politicians to vote for impeachment and banning Trump from running for office again.They fear Trump will again run for President, win and derail their plans for a Socialist/Marxist America.

The Democrats are playing catch up and their radical alllies who control media are doing their part in banning conservative voices under the guise of not meeting their standards for truth. We will intrepret that for you. Their standard of truth is people who oppose a Socialist/Marxist Agneda.

Was there fraud in the recent Presidential Election? Most Journalists either claim that there was non or too little to change the outcome. Surveys have shown that most Journalists at the most influential news organizations are Democrats so we would not expect to get an unbiased opinion. When the Journalists say there is no proof of fraud they are telling the truth because there have been hearings with people testifying fraud occurred but no real investigation has happened and until an investigation occurrs and charges made and a court of law finds people guilty no proof exists. But the news outlets are being dishonest in implying since no proof exists there was no fraud.

A lot of people have made sworn statements and have testified of corruption in non court hearings. Some corrupt politicians have have accused these people of lying but the news media have chosen not to take this course, Instead they are accusing Donald Trump and his supporters of corruption for asking that the alleged fraud be investigated.

The ironic thing about demands for an investigation is the party that is accussed of fraud has political control over whether an investigation happens. What kind of traction are you going to get on that?

In our country each year thousands of dollars are embezzled from PTAs ,athletic programs for children or teens or service organizations.
Part of this is from lax audit ovesight. Some of the embellezers are not convicted or convicted for stealing a lot less than they actually stole. They manage this by not leaving an audit trail. Transaction are not recorded which leads to no proof of wrong doing in a court of law. How does this apply to election fraud? Mail in ballots are difficult to audit. Voting officials are strict to get an ID from an in person voter but on mail in’s there is no proof of who did the voting. It is highly unlikely that the signaturses on millions of ballots are validated. So you see how the audit trail is missimg. States sent out ballots without knowing if the person is living at the address. Anyone in the neighborhood could have intercepted the ballot and completed it. A lot of people move each year. Some people die. A lot of votes are alleged to have been back dated when they came in after the dead lines. Ballots were counted after observers went home for the night. Ballots were not properly handled by election officials under state laws. One precinct even had more votes come in than there were voters. Do you see any audit trail problems here?

The number of votes cast for Joe Biden supposely made him the most popular Democrat ever. Do you really think that it is possibile for a guy who spent most of his campaigning in his basement?

The Management of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and their donors paid a lot of money for a statue entitled Rumors of War. To what end? There was once a Statue of Confederate Military Leader Jeb Stuart in Richmond, Virginia. Mayor Stoney and his Radical Friends removed all the statues of white people, except Robert E. Lee, including Christopher Columbus , apparently for being white. Governor Northan and his partners in crime are trying to figure out how to get rid of the other white guy, Robert E Lee which is owned by the State of Virginia. There are some other white statues in Richmond. There are some white children playing on a downed log at Maymont Park. We realize they are children, but they are white. Flouting their white priviledge playing on a tree in the surburbs. Children in the inner city don’t get to do that.

Getting back to the Jeb Stuart Statue, The Black Guy on horseback seems to be mocking Jeb Stuart and since Jeb Stuart was removed it is no longer a reference point. Rumors of War seems to have been designed to offend white southernors who have an affection for their Ancestors and those who led them during the days of the Confederacy. Stuart was immaculately dressed in his officers uniform. The Black Guy is wearing tennis shoes and ragged jeans which seems to be mocking White People’s attempt to look their best in public.

Then there is the title Rumors of War. Who is the Black Guy going to war against? The most likely culprit seems to be White People. In spite of what you have always heard that only white people are racist this statue is racist in every way and needs to be removed. We are puzzled as to why the Black Guy is mounted on a horse. Owning and boarding a horse is expensive and it requires some wealth to do that. Is the statue also mocking White people who earn enough money to own a horse?

We once met a Northernor who came to Richmond to work who had contempt for White Southernors. He proudly proclaimed that none of his neighbors in his white neighborhood in the suburbs were from here. Is that the type of people we have managing the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Is that why we have a Racist Statue on the Museum Grounds. And what about the people who paid a lot of money to finance the statue? Are they showing their contempt for White Southernors?

White people are under attack by Radicals. Recently we read an article by a Black Syndicated Coluumist who said her husband was playing with their child in a pool and a White Man complimented him on spending time with his child. Both husband and wife immediately concluded the White Guy was implying that Black People do not usually do that. We guess if you consider all White People Racist it would be easy to reach that conclusion.
