We have Idiots and Losers for Leaders!

Posted on by TCA

Random thoughts on the passing scene that is the U.S.A today:

  • Our “leaders” are leading us down a path of doom and destruction. Over the last 150 years, these losers have infected every institution. They now control local, state and federal governments. They control the public school system in the majority of the states. They have imported over 20 million non-citizens in what I refer to as the Invasion solely to squelch the impact at the voting booth of US citizens who disagree with our “Leaders.”
  • You got a small glimpes of what our country’s future looks like after the Invastion. In Chicago, there were videos on X (formerly Twitter) showing legal US citizens being pushed behind illegal citizens for food and other benefits. This will only get worse since th government blew its wad on COVID. Now, all the incremental purchasing of votes done by politicians will negatively impact their ability to do so in the future leading to another war between ourselves. Just as the communists, dictators, and collectivists have sought to do over the last 100 years.
  • COVID really opened the eyes of many parents who saw first hand what garbage the curriculum of most public schools really entailed. Sowing division between the student and their parents; indoctrinating them into the collectivist mindset; teaching them about sex at an age where their minds aren’t capable of understanding;
  • This is what communists, collectivists, facists, whatever you want to call them do. First, they need the young, so they take control of the educational system. Secondly, they need insulation from criticism and the “silent majority”, so they change the laws in a way to immunize themselves from criticism and firing. Third, they change the curriculum in the schools and change the language so that words, not actions, mean more. Fourth, they weaponize the language and use the courts to take out (i.e. cancel) people who disagree with them. Finally, with the country’s culture destroyed in the minds of the youth after teaching them that their country is horrible, they use the young to bring about a revolution that cements them in power and allows them to distribute resources in a way to maximize their power and wealth.

We have been led down a path of destruction. The country was founded upon the premise that humans are imperfect and more often than not use government as a mechanism to enslave the population to benefit the few. Our founders forwarned us about this centralization of power, but we refused to heed those warnings.

Two State Solution?

Posted on by TCA

All you hear from Obama and his acolytes (that includes the Biden administration since we really know who is calling the shots) say is there needs to be a two state solution to the Israeli/Palestinian problem. These people know full well that the “Palestinians” have been running their own state since 2005 and the Israelis haven’t occupied Gaza since then. They know this but continue to perpetuate the lies told by Hamas and the Hitlerian media. Why?

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.

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.”
