We are the drain the swamp people

• Once again, there’s that term, “dismantle white supremacy” !
• A “junta”?, or a new ice cream flavor?

SOME MIGHT INTERPRET “MAD DOG’S” OP-ED AS BEGINNING A CALL FOR A ‘MILITARY JUNTA’!

We wondered what the left meant by that term. What is it, specifically, “Charlamagne ‘Tha god'”, and those ice cream vendors, Ben and Jerry, want to “break up, destroy, demolish, undo, wreck, etc”!

Now we know.

Mad Dog’s besties instead of elections and constitutional checks and balances

We were already aware that, in large part, they meant…” tear down the American system of government, economy, and society in general.”

It has been obvious for a long time, that the left… the political left, the religious left, the ‘social’ left…wanted to literally, burn down our capitalist system. They’ve wanted to ‘demolish’ the Constitution…too restrictive, as Obama observed, as far as what government can do in ruling the lives of its citizens!

It is now apparent what some of the specifics of how the left intends to “permanently transform” the USA.

1) “Eliminate police departments! “Defund the police” cries are being heard around the nation, in cities dominated by the Democratic Party . Minneapolis, Los Angeles are among cities in which officials (Democrats) are going forward with legislation to drastically cut funds for or eliminate entirely their police departments.

2) Military generals, active and retired as well as at least one Cabinet official are publicly criticizing President Trump’s possible use of active military in the event that the civil unrest worsens and certain city governments are unable or unwilling to assure their citizens’ safety.

More importantly, former Secretary of Defense and retired Marine general, James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis and current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Mark Milley seem to be urging active military personnel to potentially defy orders from the their Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United states, citing, of course, their own ‘respect’ for the Constitution.

Both men are highly decorated combat veterans, universally recognized and acclaimed for heroic military service.

But, in our opinion, that doesn’t make them immune from leftist media flattery nor does it make them political geniuses or Constitutional experts. Whether attempting to urge creation of a “military Junta” or not, the op-ed by Mattis and the letter to military leaders by Milley suggests a very dangerous path they seem moved to embark upon.

At any rate, regardless of the intent of these gentlemen, a military overthrow of the US government would not be met with disappointment by many on the left.

Instead, we suggest, that it would be one manifestation of their desire to “dismantle” the “white privilege structure” they now cite as the root of all problems in America..

And their support of “defunding” or eliminating police departments is only a page out of the radical communist revolutionary’s playbook.

And, don’t think the left doesn’t have their own ideas of “police reform” and on what would replace “police departments”. Every authoritarian regime has had its version of “police reform” and they have not necessarily called their oppressive, repressive arms of government “police” but their function was to go way beyond the police authority of a free society such as America has been since its founding.

To those mis-informed, ill-educated young people …be very careful what you wish for; there are some very evil people very willing to give it to you.        dlh

THERE’S THAT TERM AGAIN, “DISMANTLE WHITE SUPREMACY” !

Just what does that mean?

“Dismantle”! Here is what “Thesaurus. com” says are the MOST RELEVANT synonyms:

Ben & Jerry’s calls on Americans to ‘dismantle white supremacy’ in forceful statement

(CNN) — Let there be no doubt where Ben & Jerry’s stands.

The ice cream maker has called on Americans to “dismantle white supremacy” and “grapple with the sins of our past” as nationwide protests against racial injustice stretch into their eighth day.

In a forceful statement posted to the company’s website late on Tuesday, Ben & Jerry’s describes the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, at the hands of a white police officer as the result of “inhumane police brutality that is perpetuated by a culture of white supremacy.”

“What happened to George Floyd was not the result of a bad apple; it was the predictable consequence of a racist and prejudiced system and culture that has treated Black bodies as the enemy from the beginning,” said the brand, which is owned by Unilever.

Companies including Nike, Netflix, Twitter, Disney, Facebook and Intel have condemned racism and injustice in recent days. But the statement from Ben & Jerry’s is unusually comprehensive and direct, addressing the historical roots of discrimination in the United States and calling out systemic racism, while advocating specific policies to prevent further police abuses and redress racial inequality.

“Slavery, Jim Crow and segregation were systems of legalized and monetized white supremacy for which generations of Black and Brown people paid an immeasurable price. That cost must be acknowledged and the privilege that accrued to some at the expense of others must be reckoned with and redressed,” the company said in its statement.

Ben & Jerry’s, which also publicly supported the Black Lives Matter movement, called on President Donald Trump to disavow white supremacists and nationalist groups that “overtly support him.”

The ice cream maker also called for the US Department of Justice to reinvigorate its Civil Rights Division, and for Congress to pass H.R. 40, a bill that would create a commission to study the effects of discrimination since African slaves first arrived in North America in 1619 and recommend remedies.

Apparently Appointed to both posts by Pope Francis

In the aftermath of Archbishop Wilton Gregory’s tirade aimed at President Trump, American Catholics should be asking exactly where their weekly donations of “Devil’s Dung” go(Pope Francis’ characterization of the money hardworking Catholics earn and a part of which they give to the Church) goes and for what “causes”?

How much of it, they should ask, goes to advance the “progressive” causes promoted by His Holiness and the clergy like “His Grace”, Archbishop Gregory*, and to the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed.

Certainly the Archbishop’s outburst was pleasing to those on the Catholic left and to those who share Pope Francis’s visions of his own “green New deal” and his aversion to capitalism and the “materialistic” middle class life style of the American people.

To openly and strongly criticize our president’s efforts to calm a very volatile situation, soothe the emotional suffering of his nation and bring a sense of unity through spiritual rediscovery is an unique kind of “spiritual hypocrisy”.

There is an irony to the archbishop’s rejection of the president’s appearance at the St. John Paul II National Shrine as a “photo op”.

Certainly Archbishop Gregory’s public statements to a liberal press, using his ‘prominence’ as “the first African American archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington” were little more than a “photo Op’ itself !

So, again, it is appropriate for the faithful to ask if their donations are going to advance a partisan political narrative, a progressive ‘climate change’ agenda, an anti-capitalism movement or, instead of providing succor to people in lands of religious and civil oppression, to promote a vision of a world without borders or national cultures and aspirations (all as publicly professed by the Pontiff himself and likely shared by many in the Church’s hierarchy, appointed by Pope Francis.).

Where is Reverend Gregory’s outrage against rioters who destroy the livelihoods of innocent people. His Grace seemed not even critical of those who set fire to the church he was accusing President Trump of “defiling”.

And…where is the Catholic Church hierarchy? Does Archbishop Gregory speak for his church, and ours, with his political rhetoric?

Maybe Bishop Gregory is in the wrong line of work. Maybe his real occupational aspirations are to be the political activist, or as a party “ward healer” he acts as.

I would suggest, however, he do it with political contributions and not Church donations!

• Three very conservative also-rans might have been the deciding factor, splitting the most conservative vote.
• Note Miller-Meeks focus now as nominee
• Schilling sends unifying concession message

In the Iowa Press Citizen:

State Sen. Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa won the Republican nomination for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District on Tuesday night. In November, she will face Democrat Rita Hart in the general election.

Miller Meeks received 22,682 votes or 48% of the vote. In the primary, she faced Bobby Schilling of Le Claire who received 17,356 votes (36% of the vote), Steven Everly of Knoxville who received 2,769 votes (6%), Rick Phillips of Pella who received 2,413 votes (5%) and Tim Borchardt of Iowa City who received 2,337 votes (5%).

“Voters want to know someone is going to fight for them, never quit on them and be their voice in D.C.,” Miller-Meeks told the Press-Citizen.

Miller-Meeks is an ophthalmologist who once directed the Iowa Department of Public Health. She served for 24 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a colonel. In 2018, she won the Iowa Senate District 41 seat, which includes Ottumwa, Fairfield, Bloomfield and Keosauqua.

The U.S. House seat is currently held by Democrat Rep. Dave Loebsack of Iowa City, who was first elected in 2006. He announced in April 2019 he would not run again.

The Republican primary was marked by a back-and-forth volley as Miller-Meeks and Bobby Schilling of Le Claire fought it out for who was the most anti-abortion candidate and who was the biggest supporter of President Donald Trump. In a press conference before the results were counted, Miller-Meeks said that while it was a tough primary, it makes her a better candidate, “battle-tested.”

Pushing past the primary, she said she is focused on a slate of issues: healthcare affordability, employability skills, infrastructure funding and policies that she said would “bring our country together, particularly given recent events.”

Miller-Meeks won the Republican nomination for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District three times before. She ran unsuccessfully to unseat Loebsack in 2008, 2010 and 2014.

“I just called Mariannette Miller-Meeks to congratulate her on her victory. I am proud of the campaign we ran. Tonight we came up short. That’s okay. I look forward to supporting both Donald Trump and Miller-Meeks in the fall,” Schilling said in a statement.

Schilling opened Saint Giuseppe’s Heavenly Pizza in Moline, Illinois in 1996. In 2010, he was elected to Illinois 17th Congressional District. In 2012, Democrat Cheri Bustos unseated Schilling and won a rematch with him in 2014. Schilling has lived in Le Claire since 2016.

He said that the campaign got Miller-Meeks to “embrace a more pro-life position,” endorsing among other things a fetal heartbeat bill.

“That’s a win,” he said.

While the Republican race for IA-02 was hotly contested, Democrats quickly consolidated around Rita Hart of Wheatland. Hart was an English teacher for twenty years. In 2012, she was elected to Iowa Senate District 49 which includes Clinton, Dewitt and Le Claire. In 2018, Hart ran on Fred Hubble’s unsuccessful ticket as lieutenant governor.

“We’re facing some of the most challenging times our country has ever experienced. I am heartbroken by the way hatred, racism, and violence are tearing our country apart. As a lifelong Iowan, farmer and teacher, I have seen the challenges that our communities are facing. Now more than ever, we need leadership that brings people together,” Hart said in a statement. “Whether it is health care, economic development, justice, public safety, or education, I will always work to put Iowans ahead of politics and provide real solutions to our toughest problems.”

In addition to a long list of endorsements, Hart has raised the most of any candidate in the race, Democrat or Republican. She ended primary election night with $1 million on hand.

IA-02’s major cities include Davenport, Iowa City, Muscatine, Clinton, Burlington, Ottumwa, Fort Madison, Oskaloosa, Bettendorf, Newton, and Pella.

My opinion from what has been revealed is that this area’s general curfew is an excessive unnecessary response and an assault on the civil liberties of everyone, black and white, The indications that the gunplay was tangential to the anti-racism protests was known but ignored.   More “do something even if it is wrong”

All eight arrested were felons AND known local bad-actors

Read it and weep, for true justice

Timeline of turmoil: All 8 arrested in Quad-Cities unrest, including police ambush, are local men 

The area shootings appear to be mostly opportunistic gang-banger bullshit — creating and using the cover of mayhem to loot a jewelry store or any target of opportunity.  I am thinking the gang-bangers shot each other and killed one of their own in a dispute.  One report indicated the female victim was a protestor and not connected to the gangs.  That would be a tragedy.

The officer(s) shot and shot at were very lucky and thank God for that.  Reports indicated bullets hit the headrests of the vehicle they were in.  My impression is that they were not targeted as part of some “days of rage scenario” but the felonious evil in the hearts of the perpetrators.  These were not peace and justice protest shootings.  The officers were shot investigating activity in a residential neighborhood apart from the larger protest gathering.

Read the story at the QC Times and let us know your opinion if my conjecture is likely or not.  There are other related reports about the protests Sunday that  we will comment on in a future post.

RUSH MEETS WITH BREAKFAST CLUB; SEEMS TO PROVE ‘DIALOGUE A USELESS EXERCISE

Rush Limbaugh sat down Sunday with “The Breakfast Club’…a popular syndicated radio show featuring three hosts ‘of color’…Charlamagne tha God, Angela Yee, and D J Envy.

Rush’s purpose was apparently  to “dialogue” with the hosts regarding the George Floyd tragedy and to get the ‘Black perspective’ on this incident and the larger signifance it has for racial tensions in America.

From my perspective, the show was a disaster, ‘solving’ nothing, only emphasizing the hosts’ rather strange, and very rigid, view of the nation’s race relations.

To get quickly to the main point of the discussion as framed by the black host, Charlamagne, the only solution he seemed to offer to eliminate today’s racial tension in America is “to dismantle the mechanism of white supremacy” in America.

Charlamagne kept coming back to the theme of “white supremacy”, the “white power structure”; “dismantle” only solution! 

I thought that, rather disappointingly, Rush did not force Charlamagne to spell out what he means by “dismantling the ‘mechanism’ of white supremacy” on which the Breakfast Club host believes this nation was founded and which is built exclusively for the white population to the exclusion of African-Americans…to their aspirations and their ultimate personal successes.

He would repeatedly go back to all the slights, wrongs, the persecutions he has suffered, as he would claim every black person has suffered and/or is vulnerable to.

(One interesting exchange had to do with the proposition, “what if George Floyd had been white and the same thing happened to him”. Rush suggested, the nation probably would have heard or known little of it. It was unclear what Charlamagne contended. Had that been the case , the policeman would not have been charged immediately? would have been dealt with harshly …? Bottom line, the offending policeman would have been dealt with far differently than as in the Floyd case.)

Again, what is the “mechanism” that requires “dismantling”?!

Taken literally, the implications of Charlamagne’s proposal are very troubling. What part of the “mechanism” ensures that the country only exists for the white population?

In C’s mind, every bad thing, or misfortune, large or small, which befalls a black person in America is because of the “White Power Structure”…the “mechanism”. And, for “Tha God”, the “dismantling” is the only solution.

There was no mention of the case of the Minneapolis policeman Mohamed Noor who shot and killed Justine Damond, after she had called police about an intruder. Noor was a Somali immigrant, Damond was a white woman. Noor was convicted of 3rd degree murder and will be sentenced later this week. (Unlike some of the other cases often cited by  Charlamagne Ms. Damond was free of any suggestion of possible  guilt for anything when she was gunned down.)

The conversation also did not reference the fact that we have had a black president. Our governmental structure from local to national is ‘open to all’ regardless of color; representation at the federal level and much of the local levels equate to population percentages.

One might even argue that in some parts of the country, black and minority participation at all levels of the government even exceeds representation in the overall population.

It also seems that there is no acknowledgement of the many accomplished, successful blacks in every phase of American life: business, the arts, entertainment, sports, media, etc 

In listening to Charlamagne and his co-hosts it seemed clear to me that there is no ‘white supremacist’ or ‘white racist’ who is more rigid and unpersuadable of his position on such matters than Charlamagne himself. He brought up everything from Colin Kaepernick to other incidents involving police and black “victims’. Rush did not engage in any debate about the signifant differences in circumstances and actions on the part of police and “victims” as related to the Floyd case. (Michael Brown and Eric Garner come to mind…a protracted debate could relate to these cases but there would be nothing about them vis-a-vis the Floyd case persuading Charlamagne) 

The usefulness of such “dialogue” is entirely absent when, to every problem or issue his response is “dismantle the white supremacy structure”.

Ford vs Edsel (the grill was not all that inspiring)

Bobby Schilling  — unwavering on key issues; Right to Life, support for conservative Trump agenda, a proven performer on veterans issues, experienced, a good fit for the district,  not a panderer to Johnson County, shows tenacity as he recovers from health issue — already back in the game.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks —  her propensity to “misspeak” indicates not an instinctual conservative, campaign ads attack Schilling for what she is guilty of,  Republican establishment endorsements hardly inspiring  (note Trump and Grassley staying out), fourth attempt (self-financed nominations) might say something about her claims of grassroots appeal.

Miller-Meeks claims to be in the lead so let’s look at her cause celeb using the window into her soul of the post-card campaign she has run and the unsupportable statements:

We have received four during the course of the primary campaign all with her campaign consultant Victory Enterprises mailing indicia, that in itself is cause to be circumspect about what is said therein (see here and here).

In one she refers to herself as a “Pro-Life pioneer in the Iowa legislature.”  That is jaw-dropping BS, indefensible (she has been in the legislature not even two years, one real session) and an insult to the women in the legislature who have long supported the right to life. This from a candidate whose statements on the issue are so troubling, including indicating a propensity to vote for pro-life legislation in order to put it in the hands a what was then a pro-abortion Iowa Supreme Court. Her statements have been analyzed first here and later here.

Regarding Trump support

In two attack pieces Miller-Meeks falsely implies that Schilling does not have Trump’s back because of  a comment Schilling made in support of an independent special prosecutor to clear up the Russian collusion accusations against Trump.  It was incredible low-life dredging by her handlers to find something they could distort to do a number on Schilling. Of course Miller-Meeks does not mention that her own much touted endorser Lyndsey Graham championed the effort and it was supported by other proven Trump agenda supporters as a way to confidently get to the truth (the corruption of Mueller not anticipated). See here.

But who had Trump’s back during the accusation frenzy by Democrats about Trump’s fitness for office one month prior to the 2016 election – not Miller-Meeks —  see insert of Miller-Meeks Twitter comment :

Insufferably Miller-Meeks claims to be “the only reliable pro-Trump candidate for Congress”   With friends like her no wonder Trump has not endorsed her in the primary.

The truth about the reliability of Schilling is revealed in the ratings he received as a Congressman in a district dominated by the Democrat machine. – See ivoterguide or ballotpedia where you will see that the usual liberal suspects gave Bobby Schilling very low ratings on a wide range of issues and conservative groups rated him very highly. Miller-Meeks has no comparable performance appraisal.

As for leadership abilities we respect this endorsement for Bobby Schilling from three-time Silver Star for valor recipient, U.S. Special Forces Captain, combat wounded and career Secret Service veteran Bill Albracht ( a resident of Illinois during Schilling’s congressional term who also escaped the corruption of Illinois and now lives in Iowa’s Second Congressional District:

I have known Bobby Schilling since he ran for congress in the IL 17th District in 2010. He ran out of a strong sense of duty and with a patriotic calling to serve the people of Illinois. I helped on his campaign and was extremely happy with his service to the District during his two years in Congress. Several years ago, Bobby moved to Iowa to start a new chapter in his life. With his public service behind him, he focused on his family. Now, he has heard the call once again and he has answered. Our state and our country needs Bobby Schilling. We need his voice to represent our Iowa values and be our collective conscience in the Halls of Congress. I am a combat wounded, combat decorated Vietnam veteran. I have seen men function in the worst possible scenarios. I’ve seen men fail – I’ve seen men triumph. I have come to recognize the indicators and traits that define those that never quit and hold to the path of honor and truth. I believe now as I did in 2010 that Bobby is what we need and what our Nation needs now and as we go forward into this new decade. In my former career in federal law enforcement, we had a mantra that every agent strived to live by “worthy of trust and confidence”. This is Bobby Schilling and we are lucky to have him.

Bill Albracht – Bettendorf, IA

And just as a brief response to the silliness of the Miller-Meeks (Texas/California born and bred) intimation that Bobby Schilling is a carpetbagger, Schilling’s roots in the area are longer and deeper than Miller-Meeks by family and juxtaposition having represented virtually the same river valley, the same industrial base, the same agricultural base and many of the same people who crossed the river from Illinois to Iowa.

The election is tomorrow, June 2.  For information on polling locations and time see your county auditor website.

• Perhaps the officers should have waited for the Molotov cocktails

I guess I watched a video of a different incident than the ‘objective journalists’ at the Daily Mail:

Two NYPD patrol cars RAM into a group of George Floyd protesters in Brooklyn after crowd surrounded them and started throwing plastic bottles and trash  

• • Several videos show two NYPD squad cars ramming into multiple protesters
  • The demonstrators were standing directly in front of the vehicles at the time
  • People can at first be seen throwing bottles and plastic cones at one of the cars
  • A second squad car arrives on scene and it runs into several people who struggle to get out of the way
  • The first cruiser then rams into a barricade that people are standing against

I MISSED THE “RAM” PART :

I Saw One, Then A Second, Police Patrol Car surrounded and attacked by a mob throwing cans, bottles, and other potentially harmful projectiles at the occupants.

Then I saw the patrol cars INCHING forward to get out of the situation. As the cars INCHED forward, “protesters” threw themselves in front of the vehicles…some fell as the cars INCHED forward. Sirens and  lights blaring to get out of the way, a barricade was brought up by the thugs to keep the officers from getting away. Some “protesters” tried to crawl on the cars’ hoods.  That is an attack and the squad pushed the fence like a defensive line would do or a phalanx of officers. They were shoved out of the way as per riot control and self protection.  No one was run over. This was not any higher speed than officers thrusting on foot with their riot shields.

It seemed almost miraculous that none of of those idiots were injured. Had they been, the media and the various anarchist and nasty little ‘people’s’ groups would have hailed them as ‘courageous fighters for racial justice and potential martyrs’!!

I would have labeled them ignorant, smug,nasty little creeps who got what they so desperately asked for!     dlh
