Can’t Count

Isn’t it odd that EVERY time an election has some sort of problem counting votes, it’s the most socialist candidate that comes out on top?

It looks like November’s election is going to be “We don’t have any ideas you would like, but we aren’t Donald Trump, so you can feel safe in voting for us.”

The growing rift within the caucus has some mainstream Democrats fretting that progressives like El-Sayed will be tough sells to general election voters in November. Others argue that their “big tent” can include more differing opinions as long as there’s unity against President Trump.

Come to find out, Islam won the global war on terror by claiming to be communist and calling all criticism as “racism” and “Islamophobia.”

Pay Attention

In my post the other day, I thought my readers would catch the sleight of hand. The person who made that meme is manipulating you, and I thought it was obvious. The person who made it is playing games with conversion math. They are converting from dollars to PMs, then claiming this as the basis of a ‘study’ finding that a person making minimum wage in 1970 has a lifestyle the same as someone making $100,000 per year today. 

A person in 1970 making minimum wage most certainly didn’t live the same lifestyle of someone making minimum wage today. In 1972, my father moved to Orlando to be an engineer for Hewlett Packard. He was making $6500 a year, which was double the minimum wage. I was a young child then, and we lived in that apartment until I was in middle school. We weren’t wealthy by any means. The apartment we lived in was an 850 square foot, 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment that was built in 1969 and is still there, but was converted into a condo at some point. I was just looking at it online, and Zillow places it at $91k.

It was in South Orlando, and the area was mostly families working at nearby Martin Marietta back then. It’s a relatively high crime area now. The point is, my father was making a bit under the median salary back then, and we didn’t have anything close to a $100k lifestyle.

The study and meme are being circulated by those commies in the Democrat party to make you hate “capitalism” so they can usher in their Marxist Utopia.

Don’t fall for that shit. It’s propaganda.

Defending Democracy

54% of Americans think the Supreme Court is too political and favors President Trump. Only 3 in 10 Americans support the electoral college, with 63% of those surveyed thinking the President should be elected by popular vote. At least according to left leaning think tanks and propaganda sites like The Hill.

The Democrats have a plan. They want to expand SCOTUS to 13 Justices and eliminate the electoral college. Oh, and add Puerto Rico and DC as states.

We know the end goal- they have already told us.

  • Free healthcare
  • Legalize all drugs
  • Eliminate minimum prison sentences
  • Eliminate cash bail
  • Free college
  • Nationwide rent control
  • Free lawyers for all tenants in rental disputes
  • More government housing
  • Paid family leave
  • Free childcare
  • 32 hour workweek with no change in weekly pay
  • Nationwide right for unions and to strike
  • Green New Deal
  • Raise taxes on the richest earners, for-profit corporations, large inheritances, and private colleges and universities.
  • Establish a wealth tax
  • Free Palestine
  • Cut military
  • Close overseas military bases, bring all troops home
  • Open borders
  • Complete amnesty
  • Cancel all economic sanctions against all nations
  • Voting rights to all residents, including felons and illegal immigrants
  • DC statehood
  • Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy through proportional representation elections.
  • Expand the number of seats in the House of Representatives
  • end the Senate filibuster.
  • Limit the Court’s power of judicial review which it uses to effectively create and abolish laws outside the legislative process.
  • eliminate the Electoral College
  • eliminate the Senate

Be prepared. Things are going to get bumpy.

Confiscation

This child tries to explain socialism and claims socialism is where workers seize the means of production, but the young commies in this country blame us for not understanding the difference between socialism and communism.

This is exactly what I was talking about when I said children don’t understand economics, business, or anything else. Your communists believe that a worker who made a pen is entitled to an equal share of the profits. Note that she just brushes by the part where “subtracting out all the costs and everything.” All the “costs and everything” is the most important part of the business.

A person putting pieces of plastic together to make the finished pen is doing almost nothing. They aren’t the ones who created that profit, they were just a small link in the chain. They are simply brushing aside the procurement of materials, a facility to manufacture pens, transportation, marketing, sales, accounting, and the hundreds of other things that have to be taken care of to manufacture those pens as being “costs and everything.”

Proving that she has no grasp of business, she claims that a worker assembling 50 pens per hour at a profit of one pound each is creating 50 pounds per hour of wealth, but is only earning 15 pounds per hour and is therefore being cheated out of the “other 25 pounds,” which is an illustration of your average communist’s grasp of both business and mathematics.

This child has the same grasp of economics and business as my niece, who thinks tampons should be free, and to accomplish this, she is going to pay her factory workers in free tampons. That conversation happened four years ago, when she was only 14 years old. Now that same child is 18 and just graduated from high school. She will be voting for the first time this November, and even though she has no idea how the world works and only just now has secured her first job (working at a fast food restaurant) will tell you to your face that she is a committed Socialist.

Did I mention that she is living at home with her mother, her 21 year old sister, and the 21 year old sister’s boyfriend? That’s the flaw with Democracy- it grants decision making authority to a person that can’t manage their own life or affairs, yet somehow assumes that a lot of people who can’t manage anything somehow gains wisdom, insight, and the knowledge of economics and business to a point where they can make decisions that affect the world.

Scene Safety

One of the first things EMS is taught is “Scene Safety.” It’s part of the mantra. In every practical training session and exam, if the first words out of your mouth aren’t “Scene safety, and wearing my PPE,” you fail. It’s important.

As a paramedic, I was often called to scenes in the dark parts of town. It didn’t matter why we were there or who did what to whom, it was always an unstable scene. A few that I remember:

  • A black man trying to evade a felony arrest on a bicycle fell off the bike and was run over by the police car pursuing him
  • One black dude shot another black dude
  • A drive by shooting
  • A black man was high on some sort of drug and pounding on doors. One upstairs resident open his door, stabbed him in the forehead with a BBQ fork and pushed him down the stairs
  • A white guy driving a UHaul wound up in the ‘hood by mistake and tried turning around. He hit a black kid that was behind the truck trying to open it to steal some of the contents.

At each and every one of them, we were surrounded by a mob just like the one below. We had to endure screams of “What’s taking so long? If he was white, you woulda had him to the hospital by now.” Threats of violence, thrown rocks, etc.

The odd part is, they were right. If the victim was white, we would have been much faster, but not for racism reasons. If the crowd weren’t there making us concerned for our own safety, we would have been faster. Watch now and see the scene that gives me flashbacks to the days of trying to save hoodrats.

ID Isn’t Always Racist

My wife sometimes asks me why I debate lefties online. Here is an example. I made that post about Mamdani’s commie grocery store. Then I got sucked into an online debate. Someone picked up my idea about reselling the stuff from his store, and the left responded with this:

It really tickles me when they set up such easy T-ball shots.

Business Plan

Mamdani says that NYC is going to open a city owned grocery store in each borough and sell products 30% less than retail stores do. Here is my plan.

  1. Buy all of the stock that the NYC owned stores have at the steep discount they are offering.
  2. Mark it up to full retail
  3. Resell it.

That’s it. That’s my plan. My store’s name will be Nalyevo*

* In Russian and Polish, the use of the term nalyevo (na lewo in Polish) means ‘on the left’, but can also connote taking bribes or “sneaky” behavior.

We Hate You. Give Us Money

A California family was injured at a luxury resort in Hawaii in a racially motivated attack by as many as 20 locals. The ringleader said:

We’re going to beat up the haole boys.

Haole (pronounced ‘howly’) is the native Hawaiian term for people who aren’t from Hawaii and is used mainly as a reference to whites. My wife lived there in Hawaii for several years, and told me the disdain for whites is pervasive, especially for white women. The native Hawaiian girls feel like white women are “stealing their men” and it’s tough to fit in to society there as a white person.

We visited the island state in 2016. One of the things that I saw when we were on Oahu was a large number of signs declaring that haole should leave, “Tourist go home,” or “We have enough hotels.” Signs of that nature. There are a large number of ‘native’ people who believe that Hawaii was some sort of peaceful paradise until Europeans arrived, and they think secession will return them to the ‘good old days.’ Hawaii residents still think that they are entitled to payment from the mainland.

More than 1,000 people are missing or dead from the Maui fires three years ago – many of them children- after police would not allow them to flee the advancing flames. People get the government that they vote for. That’s why I don’t feel sorry for the residents of Hawaii. They voted for a Democrat governor, Senators, Representatives, and have voted for Democrat Presidents for decades.

Hawaiians: This is YOUR fault. Remember that on election day, assuming that it isn’t too late for your votes to matter.
