Enemy Action?

According to the NY medical examiner, Ivana Trump died from trauma to the chest. They say it was an accident. She was found at the foot of the stairs in her New York residence. No other details are available.

Being a former President’s EX-wife, Ivana is not under Secret Service protection.

Democrats hate Donald Trump and have been calling for the killing of Republicans.

I’m sure all of that is a pure coincidence.

Why Lie?

The left keeps insisting that CRT is not being taught in schools, and is just a Republican talking point. So if this is true, then why is the teachers’ union demanding that Democrats fight the Republicans on it? Why fight for something that isn’t happening?

If, as you say, we are living in a democracy, and your policies are so popular, then why lie about them? If people truly supported your position, you wouldn’t need to lie in order to get those policies enacted.

War Drums

Malcolm Nance has been faking his participation in the Ukraine/Russia war. Now he is ready to bring that war home to the USA. In the process, he is willing to declare that Republicans are the enemy that must be eliminated. In his own words:

Here is the United States — to characterize that to understand what kind of terrorism we might be dealing with, you have to label it as white extremism because we have 30% of the population of the United States who no longer believe in the democratic norms that we established in the founding of the country…You know Irish Republicanism, where now the Republican Party is Sinn Fein, and it’s just a matter of seeing who comes up as the original Irish Republicans in this story and starts carrying out acts of violence to affect change. So we are well on our way to a multi-year campaign that we are already two years into this campaign where we may have to fight them. The ‘they’ in my title and the ‘they’ in my title is those who want to kill Americans are your neighbors.”

Emphasis added

So the left thinks that they are going to begin fighting. The war drums are sounding. The next few years seem to be propelling us towards armed conflict, neighbor against neighbor. Perhaps even within families. Be prepared to defend yourself and your household.

Recidivism

Today is the ninth anniversary of Zimmerman’s not guilty verdict.

In other news, Trayvon Martin celebrates 9 years without committing a crime. Another successful rehabilitation.

Also, Happy Birthday to BLM.

Cupid Stunt

Nikki Fried is running to replace DeSantis as governor. Here is her plan:

When I am governor, I will declare a housing state of emergency. I will direct the Attorney General to halt rent hikes and designate anything over 10% as price gouging.

I will fight to repeal the state law that prohibits local governments from imposing rent control, and explore innovative ideas, like utilizing empty hotels and motels for conversion to efficiency affordable housing

I will have to take some proactive steps to ensure that I can raise rents to match my expenses. For example: the property taxes, landscaping costs, property insurance, and interest on the mortgage are all up more than 10% year over year. It isn’t price gouging to increase prices to match cost.

On top of that, she will confiscate private property and convert it into housing. Where does the governor get that authority? Will unoccupied houses or extra bedrooms be next?

I will expand Medicaid because it is the right thing to do. It’s good for Florida’s economy. It creates jobs. It’s an investment in rural hospitals. It’s an investment in our seniors. It provides critical care to those in need. And, most important of all, it saves the lives of Floridians.

Medicaid already accounts for $49 billion of Florida’s $300 billion budget. So what other things will be cut from Florida’s services to pay for this?

Under my administration,

– we will implement universal free school breakfast and lunch. 

We will locate farmer’s markets at bus stops, train stations, and other public transportation hubs
Expand my “Victory Gardens” program, which encourages local growth and unity in our communities.
Encouraging innovative transportation options. A key component of food deserts is lack of transportation.
Limiting dollar stores to slow the spread of dollar stores, especially in food deserts.

So far, all we seem to have here is a socialist wish list of giveaway programs.

I will create a Florida Civilian Conservation Corps for residents of Florida. Individuals who serve in the Corps, or through other qualifying employment, will be eligible for forgiveness of most federally-guaranteed student loans.

Does a state governor have the authority to grant student loan forgiveness?

She also claims that she will push for a Florida minimum wage of $15 an hour. This is stupid. Florida voters already voted that in, and the wage is currently $11 an hour. It increases every October 1st, until the wage is $15 an hour.

Then she takes on guns and crime:

Sending mental health professionals to non-emergency calls makes our communities safer, and allows police officers to do the hard work of preventing crime and solving cases. I will also provide funding for State and local police officers to de-escalation training.

I will finally close the gun show loophole and ban so-called “ghost guns”.

Good luck with that. There are already plenty of so-called ghost guns in this state. I may or may not have cached a few of them. I also have blueprints to build full auto SMGs from parts I can buy at any hardware store. #Resist,bitch

The rapid dissemination of misinformation has been on a steep incline since social media platforms became widely used. I will direct state resources to combating misinformation, and will hold those accountable who deliberately mislead the citizens of our state.

I wonder if you have heard of the First Amendment.

This Cupid Stunt can never be permitted to become Florida’s governor.

Bull Run, part 1

A lefty just discovered history. Northerners are always accusing those of us in the South of attempting to relive the Civil War. Read this:

Expelling members of Congress, or of SCOTUS, because you don’t like their politics is tantamount to a declaration of war. You are in effect saying that you are going to impose your will upon the other party.

Many consider the shots at Fort Sumter to be the first shots of the Civil War, but one must remember that no one was injured or killed in that event. The first skirmish of the Civil War that involved blood was the reason why those members of Congress were expelled: The Battle of Philippi.

The incident served to embolden the Union, but it wasn’t exactly a battle. Since there had been no hostilities at this point, the 800 confederate volunteers, who had not yet even formed into regiments, didn’t post any sentries and were unprepared for battle. The 3,000 Union troops surrounded and entered the town, intending to perform a sneak attack. This sneak attack accidentally began prematurely when Union troops scuffled with a farm owner. The shots caused the unprepared confederates to rout, and there were a few casualties on both sides (a total of 30, to be precise).

The Union press seized upon this rout of the confederates, and predicted that the war would be a pushover that would end in a few weeks. Some political machinations led to the congressional expulsions, with the Union replacing those members with northern sympathizers.

As a result of the sneak attack, the Union ordered the Union general (McClelland) to invade Virginia and drive to Richmond.

Seeing no other option, the Confederates decided that armed resistance was the only solution. The first battle of Bull Run came ten days after those members of the legislature were expelled. That battle was the first organized battle of the war, and resulted in 4,700 casualties.

Is that what they want? Do they think that the war will be easily won? Are they planning on kicking out our legislators, gaming the courts, and ruling over us? If so, do they think that we will simply accept being ruled? Judging by some of their statements, it seems so.
