The Maine Massacre: Where is the Government’s Accountability?

Posted on by TCA

It was barely 2 hours after the events that the politization of it began. The Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) began bloviating about the need for more gun control laws. However, as a former FBI agent (Eric Swecker sp?) who tracked Rudolph in the late 1990s said, there are already laws on the books in Maine (and most, if not all, states) to deal with removing weapons from those with mental health issues as well as their subsequent access to weapons. In this instance, the criminal was known to have mental health issues, was reportedly hearing voice, and supposedly made threats to attack a military base. The individual also had spent two weeks in a mental institution. How did this individual still have weapons or access to them? Why didn’t the government enforce the laws already on the books without infringing on everyone else’s constitutional rights? Why are the state governments softening their laws and prosecutors putting career criminals back on the street? I could go on and on.

Why isn’t the government doing its job? Because they hate you and are a bunch of unaccountable, unaccomplished buffoons who do nothing but enrich themselves at the expense of citizens of the U.S. They all need to be expelled for failing to adhere to their commitments to the constitution and the laws of the United States. The blood of the victims is on them – each and everyone on that did not take action to enforce current law – not the gun.

Biden and the Democrats: Just letting Israel’s Enemy Rearm

Posted on by TCA

That is certainly my take on the actions of the Biden administration as well as congress. We continue to interfere with a sovereign nation’s right to defend itself. Instead of staying out of the conflict, Biden puts us in the middle by “convincing” Israel not to attack yet. All that accomplishes is allowing the terrorists to ream and refortify their positions ensuring additional Israeli blood will be spilled in the conflict.

Two Worldviews

Posted on by TCA

Konstantin Kisin’s article The Day the Delusion Died references a Thomas Sowell book from 1987 A Conflict of Visions in which Sowell provides a “simple and powerful explanation of why people disagree about politics. We disagree about politics, Sowell argues, because we disagree about human nature. We see the world through one of two competing visions, each of which tells a radically different story about human nature.”

Read the article to get a view on these differing visions and it will help you understand our issues.

Exit New York Now If You’re Not ”Progressive”

Posted on by TCA

The Post Millennial has a story about Douglas McKay being sentenced to 7 months in prison for making memes on Twitter mocking Hillary Clinton. Forget politics for a minute, how is a disparaging meme any different than a negative campaign ad? Did this guy post some things that are horrible? Yes, but that doesn’t mean you lock him up.

As a Jew, there are many things online that offend me and perhaps other Jews (and non-Jews). Do I want them taken offline or de-platformed? No, I like it when the enemies of freedom self-identify. It allows me to make better decisions about which businesses to support and which to avoid.

Election interference claim? Really? Well, only a mentally incompetent person would think you could vote by text, so I’m not exactly sure how you say he interfered with anyone’s right to vote. Should votes by the mentally incompetent be counted? If these individuals can’t legally be held to contracts, how can they reliably be thought capable of voting? Oh wait, I’m talking about Progressives. It all makes sense now!

The ”Progressives” are today’s version of the Nazi’s of the 1900s. They have cooped the educational system (primary, secondary and post-secondary), the federal and many state governments. They are coming after you if you don’t drink their Kool Aid. So, if you live in New York and the other “Progressive” states, and you don’t subscribe to the Progressive’s regressive philosophy, you need to exit to a free state.

Progressives have proven themselves the Antisemites of Today

Posted on by TCA

Hamas has been telling us for decades they want to exterminate the Jews. Hell, it is even in their charter. Due to the progressives being the fascist antisemites they are, they have made excuses for Hamas’ repeated attacks. Comments such as the statement in the charter doesn’t mean what it says, it was taken out of context, etc.

Now, after the attacks in Israel by Hamas, AOC (part of the Squad) is worried about Israel exterminating the Palestinians for their attack on Israel. When she said that she really doesn’t know much about the Middle East, she certainly has proven herself right.

Let’s see, the Israelis drop pamphlets telling civilians to evacuate before military action while the Palestinians attack civilian targets intending to inflict as many civilian casualties as possible. In addition, Hamas, the duly elected leaders of Palestinian government, has as part of its charter the destruction of Israel and the elimination of the Jews. I guess AOC needs to ask Siri what the definition of genocide is.

AOC and the Squad, bringing down our collective IQs each day.

We know where you stand

The one thing that has become clear from the reaction to the terrorist attacks on Israel: many people have self identified as antisemites and supporters of terrorists. This clarity should stay at the forefront even when this crisis is over. Let’s defund them all, universities, NPR, all of it. There is no way our tax dollars should go to organizations that have proven to be evil. While I support their right to say what they want, it does not mean I have to listen to it or pay for it. If they cannot make enough money to continue without tax dollars, well too damn bad.

Hamas’ Terroristic Attack on Israel: This is what Political Correctness Gets You

Posted on by TCA

There is a passage from the Talmud that says if you are kind to the evil, eventually, you will have to be evil to the kind. Over the last 75 years or so, the country has been slowing losing its moral grounding in the name of tolerance, being non-judgmental, open-minded, etc. The fact that we cannot all agree to condemn the indiscriminate killing of over 1,000 people by the Hamas terrorists shows just how dull our sense of morality has become.

For years, Hamas and other terrorist organizations have done horrible things to the people of the world including “citizens” of their own region. However, if you were to condemn the actions of these groups you would be called racists and a host of other names, ostracized from society, de-platformed and more. Instead of a civil society

Back to the Talmudic passage referenced above, over the last couple of decades we have responded to terrorist attacks with a “kill them with kindness” philosophy trying to change the savages and make them civilized. People are not allowed to disagree with this philosophy and/or call out the groups responsible for the attacks without facing a backlash ginned up by the media and the fascists of the Democrat party. One thing you can be assured of is our having been kind to the savages perpetrating evil around the world means that many innocent children, women and men will be killed as a result of savages, i.e. which is unkind to the kind.

The Coming Collapse?

Posted on by TCA

As readers of this blog probably know, I am a firm believer that the global financial system should have collapsed in 2007-9 cycle. The collapse was staved off by the central banks around the world. Egon Von Greyerz has a post at Zero Hedge outlining his similar thoughts.

As outlined in the post,

the West led by a bankrupt USA will try all tricks in the books. That will include CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), much higher taxes especially for the wealthy, bank bail-ins (forcing depositors to buy 10-30 year government bonds), martial law and many more measures to restrict people’s everyday lives.

What is the end game if the currency collapses as has been the case for all paper currencies throughout history? Your survival may depend on having physical assets and/or ownership of commodities allowing you to trade with others. Trying to time your exit from these inflated values may not be worth the potential wealth destruction that occurs when the collapse happens.

When will the collapse happen? No one knows and perhaps it gets pushed out beyond your expected lifetime. However, don’t allow yourself to believe that the end will happen suddenly due to the exponential compounding of the debt. A great analogy is in the post talking about a football stadium filling with water starting with one drop:

Imagine a football stadium which is filled with water. Every minute one drop is added. The number of drops doubles every minute. Thus it goes from 1 to 2, 4, 8 16 etc. So how long would it take to fill the entire stadium? One day, one month or a year? No it would be a lot quicker and only take 50 minutes! That in itself is hard to understand but even more interestingly, how full is the stadium after 45 minutes? Most people would guess 75-90%. Totally wrong. After 45 minutes the stadium is only 7% full! In the final 5 minutes the stadium goes from 7% full to 100% full.

I agree with Mr. von Greyerz’s view: once you organize your financial affairs, you “must think about the people that need our help in whatever form. Then, enjoy life with family, friends as well as nature, books, music etc which are all free pleasures.”

Federal Student Loan Program Keeps Profs Employed

Posted on by TCA

We’re coming to the end game from an economics perspective on college campuses. The universities are seeing declining enrollment, especially among men. The number of worthless degrees have multiplied as have the number of formerly disadvantaged students graduating with those degrees.

As more and more people find out how worthless their degrees are, a realization will hit these former students: I wasted my time and squandered my future away all to help a communist support him or herself.

The last 20 years of the student loan program have done nothing but grow the communist/authoritarian hold on education, especially in the social “sciences”. These programs have done nothing more than raise a victim filled culture that can’t take care of itself nor service the debt the student incurred to obtain the education.

One day, the country will realize that communists destroy everything they touch. They don’t care about you only about their power over you.
