Reality and Denial

It is astounding at just how many people heed the siren song of Communism light er, Socialism.  The following article discusses exactly what it would do to the average American family. It does not paint a pretty picture. Fed Report Makes Dire Prediction of What Socialism Would Do to U.S. A new report from the president’s Council of Economic Advisers takes a look at what would happen to the United States if we were to adopt the socialist proposals endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders and others…and the results are not pretty. In “The Opportunity Costs of Socialism,” the authors conclude that implementing programs such as Sanders’ “Medicare-for-all” would immediately reduce the size of the U.S. economy by 40%. That, they note, would be the equivalent of stealing $24,000 a year from every American citizen. “Coincident with the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth, socialism is making a comeback in American political discourse,” the report states. “Detailed policy proposals from self...

The post below clears up the confusing and shifting definitions of Socialism touted by various Leftist factions and states the ultimate "moral" goal.  The Left loves to claim the moral high ground. Is it noble to use coercion to obtain one's goals?  Unfortunately far too many who are uninformed and/or uneducated in history fall victim to the deceitful and waffling discourse. The ultimate goal is made crystal clear by a staff writer at the socialist magazine Jacobin and a member of DSA . Democratic Socialist Clears It Up: “Truth Is, We Want to End Capitalism” Posted By: admin on: August 03, There’s been a lot of conflicting viewpoints and explanations about democratic socialism, the ideology claimed by Bernie Sanders, Democratic Party “It Girl” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and even former Sex and the City actress/Would-Be New York Governor Cynthia Nixon. Some people say it’s just a lighter version of capitalism, modeled off what they have in Norwegian countries ...

The future of the Democrat Party. “ We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” Ayn Rand Excerpt from; Why People Keep Falling for Socialism, Despite the Evidence Written by Walter E. Williams for Illinois Family Action Socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign garnered considerable appeal from millennials. These young people see socialism as superior to free-market capitalism. Capitalism doesn’t do well in popularity polls, despite the fact that it has eliminated many of mankind’s worst problems, such as pestilence and gross hunger and poverty. One of the reasons is that capitalism is always evaluated against the nonexistent, nonrealizable utopias of socialism or communism. Any earthly system, when compared with a utopia, will not fare well. Indeed, socialism sounds good but, when practiced, leads to disaster. Those disasters have been experienced in countries such as the USSR, China, most African nations, and, most rec...

What took them so long?   Facebook Uncovers Web of Accounts Spreading Disinformation to Influence Election in Favor of Democrats Posted by Kemberlee Kaye      Yes, you read that correctly Democrats? Yes, Democrats. The social media giant said Tuesday that it uncovered a whole web of fake accounts spreading disinformation in what they believe could be an attempt to influence the upcoming midterm elections. The campaigns exposed were similar to Russian campaigns that ran before and after the 2016 elections. NBC News reported: The company removed 32 pages and accounts from its platform and from Instagram “because they were involved in coordinated inauthentic behavior,” the company said in a statement. The pages and accounts were connected to protests planned in Washington next week, Facebook said. Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, said that the company could not identify the source of ...

  The assassination of Julius Caesar The killing of political leaders has occurred throughout human history. See 25 Shocking Assassinations. Murders and violence seem to be rampant across the globe. See 42 of the world's 50 deadliest cities are in one region. Shockingly, 3 are in America. The current violence is both political and personal. Here is a list of recent politically driven slayings in the U.S. Go here for a historical list of the same. Go here for just one of a plethora of links regarding assaults on Trump supporters The attempted murder of Rep Steve Scalise and the physical attack on Sen Rand Paul seem to continue the trend. There are many more links regarding similar assaults, however the ones above alone are mind bending. It appears as though the trend has been escalated by sheer leftist hatred against Trump and those who support him. Not only are political figures targeted but their wives and children are as well. Are we now becoming a lawless third wor...

The following article makes many cogent observations. Very interesting read. The Left's True Agenda Revealed: Satanic Human Sacrifice On An Industrial Scale And The Complete Decimation Of White's, Conservatives, Christians And Western Values   The Left Splinters Into Warring Tribes And Falls Further Into True Madness By William B Stoecker - All News Pipeline I noticed some years ago that most people on the left fall into one or both of two categories. There are those I call “professional offended people,” meaning that being offended is pretty much the life’s work of such people. If a school teacher inadvertently so much as mentions God, or dares to pray silently in class, someone will be “deeply offended”, “marginalized,” and “threatened” by his behavior, and will sue the school district, usually after contacting a professionally offended organization like the ACLU or the SPLC. The other group is composed of “againsters,” people who pretend to be for some vagu...

Excellent article which is a bit long but informative and well worth the read! Just How Far Will the Left Go?   By Victor Davis Hanson There was no honeymoon for the unlikely winner of the 2016 election. Progressives have in succession tried to sue to overturn Trump’s victory using several different approaches. First on the bogus claim of fraudulent voting machines. Then they sought to subvert the Electoral College by bullying electors into renouncing their respective states’ votes. Massive protests and boycotts marked the inauguration. Then there were articles of impeachment introduced in the House. Some sued to remove Trump on a warped interpretation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. Others brought in psychiatrists to testify that Trump was ill, disabled, or insane and should be removed in accordance with the 25th Amendment. The former FBI director, CIA director, and director of the Office of National Intelligence have variously smeared the president as a coward,...

He Knew The prior administration had no concern over possible Russian meddling during the early part of 2016 campaign when they "knew" that Hillary would be a shoe-in. After the election, their tone did a 180. The Hillary camp and the globalists who supported her could not believe that they had so badly miscalculated the electorate mood. They tried many approaches to delegitimize the duly elected POTUS and eventually ended up with a swamp connected special prosecutor assigned to investigate the Trump campaign's Russian collusion. He was apparently given broad powers beyond the original scope, and there is a plethora of information on that matter. Unable to accept Hillary's loss, which threatened the elitist/globalist march toward world domination, the "establishment" continues to fight like cornered rats. At the present time, they appear to have no chance of winning as well as no credibility with anyone who dwells in reality land.  The following art...
