Washington, D.C. – The world’s corruption capitol

Posted on by TCA

Let’s not forget the past: Then: Florida couple say they recorded Gingrich’s call.

Or, more recently:  Unreal: Chuck Schumer Says Intelligence Community May “Get Back At” Trump For Tweet.“Appearing on ‘The Rachel Maddow Show,’ Schumer said, ‘Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you. So, even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he is being really dumb to do this.’”

Now, the New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin leaked a recording allegedly of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) telling Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) that he would recommend to then-President Donald Trump that he should resign.

Is our government nothing more than bureaucratic hacks that do nothing but spy on Republicans? It certainly seems that way, and it has been going on for decades.

“Climate Change is About Control, Stupid – Not The Environment” 

Posted on by TCA

William L. Kovacs has the above titled post at the Watts Up With That blog that hits the nail on the head. You can see the same thing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Read the whole thing.

From the comments:

I posit that pretty much all we see in the world of ‘politics’ doesn’t have anything to do with actual politics, but everything to do with almost pure differences between two personality types: those who are self-confident and are happy to “live and let live,” contrasted with those who have no self esteem and who feel compelled to validate their miserable existence in their own tiny minds by exerting absolute control over everyone else, on every topic under the sun. The comedian John Cleese quoted psychiatrist Robert Skinner about that, who said “if people can’t control their own emotions, then they have to start trying to control other people’s behavior.” We see it everywhere from them wanting to control our voting behavior on down to what kind of light bulbs we use.

Exactly!

Things Must Be Really Bad For The Establishment: NY Times Finally Admits Hunter Biden’s Laptop is Real

Posted on by TCA

It must be getting really bad in the halls of the temple of doom (aka Congress). Between inflation, high fuel prices, foreign policy blunders, and other things, the cabal must be getting nervous. I joked before that Biden was elected to serve up to a point at which time he would be taken out. Well, are we at that point?

You are starting to see the media cabal going off script and criticizing Biden. In addition, you have a couple of reporters asking pointed questions and not the normal softballs they have provided up to this point. But, the biggest indicator might be the NY Times finally admitting the Hunter laptop story was real. The New York Post has an editorial covering this. Read the whole thing.

Can We Quit Calling Them and Thinking of Them as “Our Leaders”?

Posted on by TCA

I was listening to a clip from the Tucker Carlson Tonight show, and one thing really drove me crazy. Tucker kept referring to those in congress and the president as “our leaders”. Now, you might say we have always referred to them that way. Well, perhaps, but it seems there is something a lot more nefarious going on these days.

To say someone leads you infers that they somehow direct you. Our country was never suppose to have elected representatives, a president and certainly not a permanent bureaucracy that commands how we live, act, what products to buy, or what vaccines we are required to take. However, we have seen that change over the course of the COVID crisis, and that portends an entirely different future for our republic.

Not only have those elected officials and unelected bureaucrats infringed on our constitutional rights, but they are no longer even hiding their true agenda: a movement towards an authoritarian type state that they control. Over the past 50 years, we have witnessed a continued infringement by government and bureaucrats into our daily lives. They promise a perfect society praying on those at the lower end of the income scale. They have fractured society into groups in order to collect them into voting blocks in their attempts to control government and our lives.

Can anyone think of anything positive this cabal of government, media and business has produced? I can’t, but I can certainly name things they have destroyed. This would include:

  • Destruction of the value of our currency;
  • Erosion of the family unit;
  • Destruction in the trust in our institutions;
  • Offshoring of our manufacturing base;
  • Allowed for a huge influx of illegal aliens into the country;
  • Destroyed the federal budget process;
  • Made us reliant on other countries for key materials and food;

I could go on and on, but that wouldn’t do anything for us. However, what we can do is to begin holding them accountable for the results of their policies. The first is to begin ridiculing them (Alinsky’s rule) and calling them what they are: LOSERS.

NY Times National Security Reporter: “J6 was no big deal”

Posted on by TCA

Project Veritas has done it again. They have Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times correspondent, Matthew Rosenberg, speaking about the events of January 6, 2021, that contradicts his own reporting. Quotes from the undercover interview include:

  • NYT National Security Correspondent, Matthew Rosenberg, contradicts his own January 6 reporting: “There were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the Capitol.”
  • Rosenberg: “It was like, me and two other colleagues who were there [January 6] outside and we were just having fun!”
  • Rosenberg: “I know I’m supposed to be traumatized, but like, all these colleagues who were in the [Capitol] building and are like ‘Oh my God it was so scary!’  I’m like, ‘f*ck off!’”
  • Rosenberg: “I’m like come on, it’s not the kind place I can tell someone to man up but I kind of want to be like, ‘dude come on, you were not in any danger.’”
  • Rosenberg: “These f*cking little dweebs who keep going on about their trauma. Shut the f*ck up. They’re f*cking b*tches.”
  • Rosenberg: “They were making too big a deal. They were making this an organized thing that it wasn’t.”
  • Rosenberg RESPONDS: “Will I stand by those comments? Absolutely.”

Now, let’s see if Rosenberg truly stands by those comments.

Another Shot of Wisdom from Instapundit

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Intellectuals are proving bad for America.

A Vanderbilt University professor recently wrote on Twitter that parents concerned about critical race theory teachings are “ignorant racist[s].” A known scientist who’s served in several scientific policy capacities to combat pollution wrote in one of America’s most esteemed scientific journals, “Scientific American,” that “Science Needs to Face Up to Its Racist History.” An associate professor and director of graduate studies at the University of Rhode Island once tweeted, “Science, statistics, and technology are all inherently racist.” And there’s a growing movement based on faulty, deceptive science pushed by agenda-driven so-called scientists that say, as The Daily Beast wrote in one headline, “Yes, Men Can Have Periods and We Need to Talk About Them.”

It’s getting so the more letters after a person’s name, the stupider the theories to come. Higher education degrees are rapidly becoming the modern illustration of William Shakespeare’s sound and fury, signifying nothing.

When there are rewards but no consequences for saying stupid, destructive things, you’ll get more stupid and destructive.

“Freedom Convoys” and Governments’ Responses

Posted on by TCA

As you look at the various “freedom convoys” ongoing around the world, one thing is obvious: the elites are very upset at their subjects. How could their subjects not accept their demands to take an experimental shot, imposed limits on their subjects’ freedoms, etc.?

Everywhere you look governments are responding to such protests with increased restrictions, confiscation of or freezing of assets by private sector companies required to follow these mandates. In the U.S., you have DHS targeting those who “undermine public trust in government”. (H/T The Daily Bell). What does that mean to undermine public trust in government? Well, it could mean attending a school board meeting in your locality and protesting their COVID policies.

You have governments encouraging, forcing, allowing or however you want to say it the doxxing of those whose opinions don’t align with the government’s narratives whether that be on COVID, the 2020 elections or whatever. They freeze your money so as to starve you into submission. They pressure your employer so their only option is to terminate you unless you submit to their demands.

What does this say about the supposed governments of the world? Basically, they are all the same and will flex their powers to ensure you tote their opinions whenever they feel threatened.

In the U.S., you might ask why? Our freedoms are enshrined in the Constitution and do not come from government. Think what you will, but you have successfully allowed the government to become your ruler. How? Buying into the thinking that that government can protect you from any harm (i.e. terrorism using the Patriot Act), and allowing them to continue concentrating power in the federal government. Our founders knew that unchecked concentration of power centrally would result in the enslavement of the citizenry which is why they had the checks and balances build into the Constitution. However, progressives have led to the stripping away of some of these checks and balances in the name of democracy since the late 1800s. This allowed the unconstitutional (think illegal) delegation of power from Congress to the alphabet agencies under the Administrative Procedures Act. This act turns these agencies into lawmakers who can imprison you and take you money all with no accountability to the public. Today, congress is nothing more than paid stooges allowing this to continue so money keeps flowing to them. Funny how people live in DC, making $170K a year, and become millionaires in the process.

Government actions tell you they are very concerned about these convoys. Why? Because they are working and are beginning to disrupt commerce. More importantly, the convoys have many of the citizens who weren’t inclined to distrust the elites in government seeing just how bad these people are.
