THIS IS A BLOG THAT TRIES TO APPEAL TO THE AVERAGE CONSERVATIVE CITIZEN AND HAS NO AGENDA OTHER THAN TELLING THE TRUTH AS WE SEE IT.

Are Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals” Finally Being Implemented in America Today?


Saul Alinsky, dubbed the father of “Community Organizing”, died 53 years ago, but his legacy of the transforming America is alive and well and is being attempted to be implemented by a very militant, vocal group of elected politicians, members of the media, and vocal advocates in academia and Hollywood.


Let's look at what Saul Alinsky proposed when he was alive and see if his advice in his book of “Rules for Radicals” are happening in America today, under the guise of the misused term of “social justice”. Here is a summary of the main points of Alinsky's rulesHealthcare – control health care and you control the people.
  1. Poverty – increase the poverty level as high as possible; poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
  2. Debt – increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to raise taxes, and this will produce more poverty. The recent trillion dollar proposals in Congress, laden with “pork” and pushed by Biden are perfect examples of this rule.
  3. Gun Control – remove the ability of people to defend themselves from the government and criminals. That way you are able to create a police state.
  4. Welfare – take control of every aspect of people's lives. Ex: food, housing, and income.
  5. Education – take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school. Ex: Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project.
  6. Religion – remove the belief in God from government and schools.
  7. Class Warfare – divide the people into wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (tax) from the wealthy with the support of the poor.


Can you all relate to these rules as to what is happening in the United States today? This transformation scenario of Saul Alinsky is right out of the Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin playbooks. That Soviet “butcher” Josef Stalin, successor to Lenin, described converts to Marxism/Socialism as “Useful Idiots”. Who are useful idiots today in our country? Would they be many in the left-leaning Democrat Party?


Two of our most prominent Democrat politicians have embraced the writings of Saul Alinsky, they are Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton wrote a college thesis at Wellsley College about the policies put forth by Alinsky, and Obama taught classes on Alinsky as a Community Organizer and at the University of Chicago, in a course called “Power Analysis”.


Obama's favorite rule from Alinsky's book was rule # 13 which states “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it”. During Obama's political career he had attacked “fat cat bankers”, “greedy health insurers”, and millionaires and billionaires (an irony is that today, Obama fits into the class of a multi-millionaire along with Bill and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden). In addition, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Representatives Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Jasmine Crockett, all radical Democrats, seem to adhere to the principles set forth by Saul Aluinsky.


Now that Donald Trump has been elected president and we now have a Republican majority House and Senate, it will be a chance to put a roadblock into the implementation of the Marxist/Socialist agenda of the Democrat Party, and the final implementation of Alinsky's “Rules for Radicals”. Let's hope the Republicans do not grab defeat out of the jaws of victory as they have been prone to do from the past.

Trump's Tariff Pledge: “Do Unto Others as You Have Them Do Unto You” ( The Bible's “Golden Rule”)


That biblical concept might apply to the reasons why Trump is applying tariff's on other country's goods and products of the world. Trump has called them “reciprocal tariffs” which he claims will even the economic playing field, and to halt the tariff unfairness that other country's have used against the United States for decades.
The fear mongering Democrats are claiming that Trump's tariff's will cause a recession or worse, but from past experiences during Trump's 1st term, the tariff's he imposed were a big money maker for the United States, and it didn't cause inflation or a business slowdown. (the pandemic did that). Using that scenario as a guide, the Democrats fears can be seen as a political ploy to undermine the policies of Trump and his administration because no matter what Trump does, says or proposes, their hatred for the person, Trump, prevails over anything else.

it is quite obvious, to an impartial observer, that Trump is trying to bring back industry, companies, and jobs back to the United States from overseas. He has claimed that if companies return to the United States to make their products and goods and services, no tariffs will be imposed on them. Already, before his executive order on tariffs were announced, over $3 trillion, and more coming, of foreign investment has been gained from having foreign companies pledging to come to the United States and set up operations.

As an example, Apple has announced a $500 billion investment in the United States which will create 20,000 new jobs; Toyota has officially opened a new automotive battery manufacturing plant in North Carolina in a $14 billion facility that will create 5,000 new jobs; the Paris Baguette Co., a bakery company, has opened a plant in Texas for $180 million which will create 450 new jobs; the Corning Co. plans to to invest $900 million in a new Michigan facility that will provide about 1,000 new jobs etc., etc. You get the idea, that contrary to the “doom and gloom” predictions of the Democrats and their shills in the media, these new building facilities by companies and the newly created jobs as a result, is only scratching the surface of what the new Trump tariff policies might bring about in the future.

Remember, it took almost two years for Ronald Reagan's tax and economic policies to kick in to become the major economic boom for the rest of 1980's, That success carried him to an overwhelming win in the 1984 presidential elections as he carried 49 of 50 states.

President Trump has acknowledged that his tariff policies might cause some initial pain, but in the end you'll see a positive economic
result.

The United States has been taken advantage of by friend and foe for too long a time. Trump wants to have a fair and balanced trade policy, whereby the United States is not made the patsy for other countries to take advantage of.

So, all the bluster of the Democrats about the tariff policies of what Trump has proposed, and the negative impact on the U.S. economy that they claim will occur, we must wait and see whether the tariff policies of Trump will succeed or fail. Many economists predict that his policies will succeed and generate a positive economic climate which has been long overdue. Let's hope the biblical concept of “Do Onto Others as You Have Them Do Unto You” prevails in the matter of Trump's tariff policies. God Bless America !

"Aah, The Rigors of Getting Older"

3/31/2025

0 Comments

 
Life is predictable, everyone in Delray Beach gets older, whether we like it or not. Some of us age gracefully, some of us try to postpone the ravages of aging by getting a Botox shot or a nip and a tuck, here and there, or everywhere.

So, what are some of the general signs of getting older. One obvious one is the simple act of getting up and out of a chair or a couch, or God forbid, off the floor. During our younger years we jumped up and out in an instant, but now we have to get help by maneuvering back and forth or by getting a helping hand and a helpful pull up. It’s embarrassing how “unagile” we’ve become.

Many of us, when we reached forty, started to have difficulty reading the newspaper or a restaurant menu, but had no problem seeing a good looking guy or gal some 50 yards away and could see what they were or were not wearing, and whether it matched or not. From that time on, we invested in reading glasses, not just one pair, but several, to be available at an moments notice, in time of need, which now seems to be all the time.

Another vexation of getting older is those sneaky aches and pains that pop up at unexpected times without any reasonable expectation of figuring out why, where, or what you did to deserve this ache and pain. The term “ pain in the neck” can be taken more literally as we get older rather than the other definition of being an obnoxious person.

Since we older folk are encouraged to exercise by our doctors, our family, and our friends, little mention is made about the exercise gained by walking to the bathroom, to empty our bladders, sometimes 3 times or more per night, much to our dismay, chagrin and annoyance, and about our disrupted sleep, right in the middle of a dream about Clark Gable or Marilyn Monroe, as luck would have it. Talk about walking zombies? Boris Karloff had nothing on us.

Our friends, as we age, get fewer and fewer and they eventually disappear all together, depending on how long we live. When reading a newspaper when we were younger, we either turned to the front page, the fashion section or the sports section, but now, as we age, we go right to the obituary section. By the way, did you notice that everybody who died, died alphabetically according to the newspaper? If our name isn’t there, we move on to another section, with a big sigh of relief.

Talking about health, or lack of it, did you notice that when we meet a friend or someone new, the talk inevitably centers on the status of your health or their health. It’s something like giving or getting an “ organ recital”, my heart, my liver, my kidney’s, my prostate or my menopause etc., etc. Instead of names, we could refer to each other by our blood pressure figures, “ Hi, 135 over 70 or “Hi, 145 over 80”. This would save us a lot of small, meaningless talk and get right down to the nitty-gritty.
In conclusion, another one of the rigors of getting older is the slow progression of finding out that the foods we once gulped down with no problem, and with gusto when we were younger, which now cause us all kinds of social trouble, especially in the area of creating that social pollutant called “methane gas”. One positive result is that it does cause us to smile more often in order to camouflage our indiscretion to others who unfortunately happened to be near us at the time. What kind of an “eating” grin do they call that?

​So, keep on smiling and grow old gracefully, and never look back, something might be gaining on you.

​The Honeymoon Will Soon be Over, “Kackling Kamala” Will Soon Flame Out

8/4/2024

1 Comment

 
The Democrats have given credence to the old idiom “from the frying pan into the fire” with their successful “coup” attempt at getting Joe Biden to give up his bid for reelection.  Remember, over the past few years, the “skinny” was that Kamala Harris was a feeble Joe Biden's insurance policy, in so far as if he would face calls for him to step down, the country would fall into the hands of an even more incompetent president in the form of Kamala Harris.  As fate would have it, that is where we are now.

With the “stand down” of President Biden, just a couple of months before the 2024 election, one has to wonder what the hell is going on?  For 3 ½ years, we have been told that Joe Biden was “fit as a fiddle”, a man with endless energy, a person with gravitas, and a person who was trying to unite America.  Well, how has that turned out?  Most every discerning person realized that “Sleepy” Joe Biden was a “few fries short of a Happy Meal”, when it came to cognitive awareness and physical dexterity. The Democrats and their shills in the media, tried their damnedest to cover up Joe's many flubs, gaffes, and outright lies, and they almost succeeded until the disastrous June 27 debate with Donald Trump. It was pitiful to watch a man, in Biden's position, melt down right before the eyes of millions of viewers on T.V. Whether the Democrats underhandedly set up up that debate many weeks before the conventions as a means to have him flame out (a speculation), which in turn would give the Democrat elites a chance to “change horses” before the election, no one knows or is not telling.  The only problem with that scenario  was who then who would take his place on the Democrat ticket? Well, the “palace coup” got their wish by having Biden drop out (reports have surfaced that Obama was behind the coup with a possible 25thn Amendment in play), but since the most likely person to take his place was the even more unpopular V-P Kamala Harris, which is what happened and now they are saddled with “Kackling Kamala”, a more improbable person to carry the torch for a Democrat victory in November. 

Already, the Democrats and the media are in concert to try to makeover a flawed candidate, Kamala Harris, into someone who she is not, a person who would make a competent president.  The “white wash brush” has been trotted out to try to cover up her wildly controversial comments and ideas and policies that have haunted her in her public life. No matter how hard the Democrats and the media try, they can't polish horse manure.  Her record is what it is.

The honeymoon, that she is experiencing at the present time, will not last once the facts come out showing her to once being called the most radical liberal senator in the Senate, even out radicalizing socialist Bernie Sanders, if that is possible. Also, the dearth of meaningful accomplishments in her political career, including her term as Vice President, will come back to bite her in the butt big time, as California king maker Willie Brown is no longer involved in her career as a political benefactor.  The American people are not ready, in my opinion, for a Marxist/Socialist, California-bred president with more baggage than Macy's has luggage. The country and the world are in too much turmoil to have someone like Kamala Harris take the reins of power as the leader of the free word.

 So, what are some of those policies  that Kamala has championed that will not attract  the majority of voters into voting for her?
Here is a short list of some of her unpopular positions that will bury her campaign as a loser. She wants to give amnesty to all illegal migrants; she has been designated as Biden's ”Border Czar” for 3 ½ years, and has not stemmed the flow of the invasion of illegal migrants (and drugs, mainly Fentanyl) from entering our country; she also was behind soliciting funds to use to bail out violent protesters during the 2020 riots; she also has promised, on several occasions, to get rid of all fossil fuels by the year 2035 and has latched onto the fanatics pushing the “Green New Deal”, and by doing away with “Fracking” and off-shore energy drilling, thereby costing jobs, revenue, and needed supplies of oil and natural gas; and she has promised to let the Trump tax cuts lapse thereby raising everyone's taxes: and on and on.  With these ideas wrapped around her neck like an albatross, “Kackling Kamala's” honeymoon will soon flame out, and new recycled, invigorated Donald Trump will take over as president, and none the sooner.

​A New Definition of DEI - “Didn't Earn It”

7/3/2024

0 Comments

 
I read, somewhere, that clever definition change which made a lot of sense as we are being shamed by politicians and the media into thinking that diversity, equity, and inclusion is the way to do business in the United States. DEI is just another way of implementing a reverse kind of discrimination in how we conduct our personal lives and a way of doing business. Rewarding people on the basis of their race, ethnicity, or gender is inherently wrong as competency should be the deciding factor in how we go through life.

When somebody gets a job or a position because they meet the criteria if diversity, equity, and inclusion without regard to how competent they are, that is inherently wrong as our founding fathers had given us the guidelines in both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution and amended, as we progressed up until today. The new definition of “Didn't Earn It” is aptly phrased to mean that people should be rewarded , not by physical characteristics , but by what they can offer to make a particular life decision or a business decision fair to all parties concerned.

Over the years, we have instituted programs that tried to make up for previous wrongs, like slavery and racial discrimination, by instituting  programs like “Affirmative Action”, which had good intentions, but in practice didn't solve the problems of racial discrimination, in fact, it has caused more animosity between the races than what it solved.  Giving everyone a chance to excel regardless of their race, ethnicity, or gender is the way to go to get the most from any individual.

​The United States has seen a change in the last few years with radical groups looking to change the foundations that our country was founded on.  The political divide is quite apparent as mutual agreement on any topic is very hard to come by.  We are a divided country, and becoming more divided every day.  With Joe Biden entering the White House and canceling most of what his predecessor had instituted, the desire to “Fundamentally Change” the United States (as former President Barack Obama proclaimed as his desire to accomplish) has proceeded with alacrity with President Joe Biden using his pen to issue one executive order after another, mirroring what Obama set out to do.  Many feel that Obama has a controlling influence over the Biden Administration, with many claiming that under Biden we have Obama's 3rd term.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has been a polarizing influence in our society and seems to be getting worse.  The new definition of DEI (Didn't Earn It) seems to show that you can't or shouldn't discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity or gender in determining what is right or wrong in human or business relationships.  Give everyone a hand up instead of a handout, and let the human spirit be free to achieve, while also helping the less fortunate in our society.  We must not be shamed in doing what is wrong to placate a radical group of people who mainly adhere to a form of Marxist/Socialist principles, principles that have not worked well anywhere in the world.  The November election will be a  watershed moment in our history. Should we continue on the road to ruin or will we strive to “Make America Great Again”?  The right answer is quite obvious, vote for Donald J. Trump as if your life and country depended on it.

​The Democrats May Have Won the Battle, But Come November They Will Have Lost the War

6/14/2024

2 Comments

 
The devious and loathsome anti-Trump Democrats (which is most), may have won the battle by winning the Soviet-style Josef Stalin “show trial”, but come this November they will have lost the war when Donald J. Trump is declared the winner of the presidency of the United States. Never has a former U.S. president been subjected to the humiliation of being found guilty of bogus, made up charges of a crime, all because he was a pariah in the eyes of the Democrat Party and a threat to them attaining and retaining power.

It's been 8 years since Donald Trump came down that escalator at Trump Tower to declare that he was running for president as a Republican, and it has been 8 years of non-stop recrimination by the Democrats against him.  The crazed Democrats wanted to impeach him even before he was chosen as the Republican candidate, which has led the way to Trump facing numerous phony charges of malfeasance that have been made up out of whole cloth by the vindictive Democrats, and has been culminated by a rigged jury and judge finding Trump guilty of a non-existent felony.

To listen to the “illiberal” media, as they gloat over the fact that they can now call Trump a “convicted felon”, you'd think “Lady Justice” has been served, but actually, the blindfold of the lady has been removed by the likes of Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, Leticia James, Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis and the Democrat Party.
Many respected legal experts, including Democrats Alan Derschowitz and Jonathan Turley, and former prosecutors like Andy McCarthy, Trey Gowdy, Greg Jarrett, and former Judge Jeanine Pirro, all have ridiculed the manner and evidence that the legal acolytes representing Biden and the Democrats have used in trying to negate the Trump candidacy by “weaponizing” the judicial system against Donald Trump.  These are the same sanctimonious holier-than-thou Democrats who have proclaimed that a Trump election would be the end of our “democracy” (they even got that wrong as we are a “constitutional republic” not a democracy).  Is trying to get rid of your political opponent during an election cycle not a threat to our “democracy” (their words), then I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.  That's hypocrisy front and center, but if the Democrats didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.

In the words of our sage President Abraham Lincoln, who could have been referring to today's Democrats when he said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people  all of time”.  The Democrats fooled the people to vote for them on 2020, but after over 3years of Joe Biden's policies of one disaster over another, the majority of people will not be fooled in 2024. Trump will resurrect his famous phrase, when he ran that hit show “The Apprentice”, when on November 5th he will declare to Sleepy Joe Biden in no uncertain terms, “YOU'RE FIRED”.  Those are the words that we citizens are looking forward to on election night as it will be a positive step of saving our democratic republic.  God save the republic.

99% of Democrat Lawyers Give the Other 1% a Bad Name

6/1/2024

0 Comments

 
Of course, that headline was “tongue in cheek”, but look at what has happened to former President Donald Trump and other Republicans over the past few years?  Look around the country, what do you see?  Democrat lawyers “posing” as reputable prosecutors defying our constitution, letting criminals free to roam around to commit additional crimes, cutting funding of our law enforcement agencies, passing laws undercutting our health and safety etc. , etc.  Never have we seen such a breakdown of law and order in our country, all fueled by mostly Democrat lawyers supported and funded by the likes of ultra-liberal, progressive anarchists like George Soros, and left-wing foundations like the Rockefeller Foundation etc., etc.

The old expression that “a rotting fish stinks from the head down”, could surely be used to describe our lawyer President, Joe Biden.  He was supposed to bring sanity back into our government by being a calming influence, but just the opposite has occurred.  His choice of Merrick Garland as Attorney General was his first blunder.  Garland has turned out to be a “partisan hack” who has brought vengeance back into the Justice Department.  It seems he is still smarting over his rejection, orchestrated by Republicans, about his failure to become a Supreme Court Justice, and he has taken out his  frustration and animus on the Republicans, and on Donald Trump in particular. That's not America, that's the old Soviet Union.

Where has all this unrest in the country shown itself most prominently, would it be in Democrat-run cities and states?  With President Biden ignoring Supreme Court decisions and laws passed by Congress, like ignoring laws regarding immigration, it has been one bad move and presidential decision after another.

Many pleas by citizens around the country about the lack of law and order enforcement, seems to be falling on deaf ears in Democrat-run jurisdictions, including the federal government.  Our border policy is in shambles, as over 10 million illegal migrants have entered our country, mostly all unvetted, since Biden became president.  As Biden's poll numbers continue to go into the dumper, the word has gone out, through the Mexican cartels, that if you are wanting to enter our country illegally, you better hurry up before Trump get elected, as the crackdown of illegal border crossers will be mostly curtailed and enforced.

What a way to run a country with mostly Democrat lawyers in charge at the highest levels in our country, starting with President Joe Biden, an 81 year old career politician with signs of cognitive decline.

So even though our headline about Democrat lawyers might exaggerate their honesty and integrity, it does make the point that out country needs to change course and direction to bring law and order back into our society, and a good place to start is this November's election as we attempt to “Make America Great Again”, and to fulfill Ronald Reagan's admonition for America to be that “shining light upon the hill”.
