Chuck on the right side
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.
Some recent polls have indicated there has been a shift in the black voter base that seems to be favoring the Republicans over the traditional black voting bloc in blindly supporting Democrats. If that holds up in 2024, it might mean bad news for the Democrats.
Over the years, ever since the presidency of FDR, blacks have voted for Democrats at over a 90% rate. It was almost a guarantee that the Democrats could count on the black vote no matter what the times were. There was an inkling in the 2016 and 2020 elections that things might be changing as Donald Trump broke the 90% wall. Even though it was a small gain, it was a harbinger of things to come as the black voters started to leave the “Democrat Plantation”, as it seems that many blacks could sense that they were being taken for granted all these many years by Democrats who promised them everything at election time, and then reneged on their promises once the election was over. If the Republicans can get around 80% of the black vote, it is game over for the Democrats. The policies of the Biden Administration seems to be a problem in the black community. High crime in black communities due to the diminution of reduced police presence and lax criminal prosecutions by soft on crime prosecutors, have restricted law abiding black citizens from feeling safe in their community. Due to the increase in crime in the black communities, many stores have closed their doors because of rampant retail theft, mainly by undisciplined teenagers in organized “smash and grab” episodes promoted by social media, thereby depriving black residents of a convenient shopping experience. In most of those communities, most of the elected officials are black Democrats, who seem to turn a blind eye to the terrible conditions affecting their communities. Also, the open border policy of letting illegals into our country, by the Democrat Biden Administration, has affected the job possibilities of black workers by migrants who get jobs for lower pay than black job seekers can get and are willing to work for. Also, the infusion of non-English speaking students, in mostly minority schools, has made poor performing schools even worse than they have been before the influx. The Democrats, in pandering to the teacher unions in opposing charter schools, has also been seen by blacks as forcing their children to attend poor performing schools instead of better performing charter schools. The Republicans must and should engage the black community in showing them that their quality of life will be better for them under the Republican rule of free enterprise capitalism rather than the Marxist/Socialist economic policies promoted by the Democrats. Ironically, it was the Democrat Party which was the driving force behind slavery and segregation in the United States, and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan throughout the years, not the Republicans, but it seems an anomaly that blacks supported, overwhelmingly, the party that kept them down both socially and financially. The Republicans must engage the black voters in getting their positive message across that the Republican policies are the policies that will make black people better off as they get off the “Democrat Plantation” to better themselves. The presidential election of 2024 is important not only for black citizens, but to the country as a whole. No community should be discriminated against and the American dream should be available to all. Yes, America has been a great melting pot of people from around the world and we should attempt to make it better not worse by electing competent people to office regardless of their color, their gender, religious background or ethnicity. Identity politics have no place in the running of our country, competence and experience in doing the job should be the overriding condition of government employment. The black people have a chance to better themselves by electing people to office who have their best interests at heart, whether they are black, brown, white, red, or yellow, and competent, and who espouse policies that our founders gave us, free enterprise capitalism not destructive Marxism/Socialism..

To listen to some of our liberal politicians, you'd think the world was going to hell and coming to an end because we cannot control climate change. Do you really believe that, or do you believe that those who are promoting that theory of fear, are really trying to enhance additions to their inflated bank accounts? The “Climate Control Industry” is set up to reward the proponents of man-made climate change, not only to spread irrational fear of a climate Armageddon, but also to attack the economic system of Capitalism. The Biden Administration and their flunky's in the media and academia, and in the disreputable United Nations, have jumped on the “Holy Grail”, the religion of man-made climate change. There is an old adage of determining the motivation of people championing a cause, it is “follow the money”. Many of the promoters of man-made climate change have realized that to get funds from “woke” companies and foundations, is to manufacture a consensus and put fear in the minds of gullible people to think the world is coming to an end due to the imagined theory of man-made climate change, There is no consensus by scientists about the imminent demise of the planet Earth due to man-made climate change. A pragmatist could conclude that no matter how bad the the climate fanatics try to instill fear in the minds of of the public, they can't prove that they can change what “Mother Nature” has in store for us. The climate fanatics have claimed that carbon dioxide is a pollutant and must be diminished. But, they never tell you that, on the contrary, carbon dioxide makes crops grow faster, feeds plants and trees, and as a result turns out oxygen for the human race to breath in. Someday the world will wake up and laugh when the people realize and understand that the pursuit of economic ruin in the name of saving the planet from carbon dioxide is, in fact, a terrible joke perpetrated on the the world population. The idea from climate extremists, that America could run on “solar”, “wind”, “battery power” and “bio fuels” is totally beyond reality and laughable. A gas-fired plant, for instance, occupies about 5 acres. The 300 ft. wind turbines affect 106,000 acres which destroys scenic vistas and kills thousands of birds each year just to provide intermittent and inefficient electricity. The “Green New Deal”, promoted by the Biden Administration, is a good example of nonsensical environmental interference in our lives. Whenever you hear that a “consensus” of scientists totally agree on something (especially climate change), reach for your wallets, because you are being conned and scammed. Science is ever evolving and it is not “settled science” as that phony climate guru, Al Gore, wants you to believe. Our global environment is more likely to be damaged, far more, by the misguided attempts to reduce our carbon emissions than would be caused by “man-made global warming”. Nobody really believes a weather prediction, that we see on our television screens, 7 days ahead, yet we are being asked to reorder our economy based on climate predictions up to 100 years hence - most predictions are not supported by scientific evidence, it is an estimated guess at best. Some of the greatest proponents of man-made climate change are Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Al Gore, and John Kerry. All four have claimed that due to global warming and the melting of the polar ice caps, most coastal communities will be flooded in just a few years, ironically, all four have bought homes on the coastline where the flooding they predict would occur. I guess everybody else's home will get flooded out but theirs? Would you call these climate change hucksters hypocrites? I would! Don't let these “doom and gloom” purveyors get their ideas codified into law. Let common sense rule the day. Conservative commentary by Chuck Lehmann First off, let's define what moral equivalency is: it is a term used to usually deny that a moral comparison can be made of two sides in a dispute (in this case a war).
With that definition in mind, many anti-Semites in the United States and countries of the world are blaming Israel for the war between Israel and Hamas, claiming that it is all Israel's fault when really the opposite is true. It was Hamas who attacked Israel, not the other way around. On October 7th, Hamas attacked Israel, killing, butchering, maiming, and taking innocent hostages from inside Israeli territory. With over 1400 Israeli citizens, and some foreigners included as murder victims, along with over 230 hostages taken, Israel responded by declaring war on the Hamas terrorists who reside in the Gaza Strip. As Israel goes about trying to annihilate the Hamas threat, they are being charged with genocide, no matter what the provocation was by the brutal, inhumane attack by Hamas. It seems that through “social media” (Tik Tok for one), and by various world organizations (the U.N.), this vile calumny against Israel has resulted in world-wide condemnation of Israel. It seems common sense and logic have been turned upside down. For years, Israel has been subjected to attacks of missiles and acts of violence within the State of Israel by various Muslim groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad etc. Their response was to try to immobilize the sources of those attacks, with minimal results as the attacks continued, but after the barbaric attack by the Hamas thugs and murderers with their butchery of hundreds attending a Peace Concert, and the killing of innocent families in their homes near the Gaza border, the Israeli's could not let that horrific episode go on without a response – hence the decision of Israel to declare war on Hamas, and their desire “to cut off the head of the snake”, Hamas leaders, and their marauding hordes of crazed killers. Some of the world community have been brainwashed into thinking that Israel is a pariah state and is an occupying nation, contrary to all rational thinking, but most of the Western nations have come to the defense of Israel in trying to stop the brutality of Hamas and to point the finger at the major terror State of Iran, who has been supplying arms and munitions to their puppet groups of Hamas and Hezbollah. In our country, many rallies have been attended by Muslim citizens, far-left lunatics, and with many misled young people who attend schools, colleges, and universities, in denouncing Israel. Some of these protests have turned violent and many Jewish citizens fear for their safety, especially at some colleges and universities. The Biden Administration, has lukewarmly supported Israel, but have been supporting a cease fire (calling it a pause), but the Israeli's have rejected it, and rightly so. President Biden projects, from his words and actions, weakness and the enemies of Israel seem to be taking advantage of that. Israel says that they must annihilate Hamas so future atrocities can be minimized or done away with, so any shutdown will only let Hamas to rearm and regroup. The fear that this conflict could lead into a major war in the Middle East is a real possibility, mainly due to the participation of that evil regime in Iran who has called for the elimination of both Israel and the United States. The chants by the pro-Hamas demonstrators of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a call to wipe Israel off the map and to humiliate the United States, the major backer of the State of Israel. So, when you hear the term “moral equivalency” directed at Israel as they try to defend their country and their population, it shows the lack of moral enlightenment that the anti-Semites project as they spew their venom against the only real democracy in the Middle East. Unfortunately, collateral damage to civilians during times of war are inevitable, but Israel, to its credit, has warned residents caught in the line fire in Gaza to go south to avoid being caught in the crossfire, which the Hamas leaders have, in many cases, turned back the civilians from leaving Gaza City so they can be used a shields for the purpose of showing dead civilians killed by the 'ruthless' Israeli's. A total fabrication and a definite war crime by Hamas. There can be no moral equivalency when dealing with terrorists so we should let Israel do what it has to do to survive with God's speed. Conservative Commentary by Chuck Lehmann Most everyone knows, with the exception of some spokespeople in the White House and the left-leaning media, that the evil mullah's of Iran are responsible for the vicious recent attacks on innocent civilians in Israel. That being said, shouldn't Iran be brought up on charges of being “accessories to a crime”? The definition of being an “accessory to a crime” is as follows: “ Someone (or some country) can be accused of being an “accessory to a crime” if they in any way knowingly assisted, contributed, aided, or offered advice to another so they could commit a crime”. Iran seems to meet that definition to a tee and should be held accountable.
The dastardly, vicious, evil acts by Hamas of maiming, murdering, and the taking of hostages, should not go unpunished by Israel, the victims of this crime against humanity. The pressure that some apologists for Hamas have exercised around the world, and especially in our own country, is hard to comprehend. The false, unverified, inhumane acts supposedly committed by Israel in reaction to the murderous rampage of Hamas, shows that antisemitism is alive and well in many countries of the world, including our own. The acolytes of Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah, both who viscerally hate Israel, couldn't have lasted over the years if it wasn't for the physical and monetary help of the evil country of Iran. Neither Hamas or Hezbollah have done anything to help their fellow Muslims than to use the funds given to them, not to improve the lives of the Palestinians, but to assemble an arsenal of arms and explosives to be used against the Israelis. The latest horrendous episode by Hamas couldn't have been carried out without the help of Iran, especially during the almost three years of the Biden Administration. When Joe Biden took office, the Middle East was somewhat tranquil under the leadership if Pres. Trump, but upon Biden being sworn in as president, he did away with most of the roadblocks Trump set up to rein in the Iranians, and their puppets, Hamas and Hezbollah. Our appeasement policies by the Biden Administration has led to a war in Ukraine, and now a war between Israel and Hamas, with Hezbollah waiting in the wings. Ever since our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, our enemies have sensed weakness on the part of the United States under the stewardship of Joe Biden and his group of flunky's in his inner circle. Biden has even refused to enforce the sanctions against Iran thereby letting them reap billions of dollars of oil money used to finance terror. A major blunder. So in conclusion, it can be deduced that Iran, the world's greatest purveyor of terror in the world, can and should be charged with being an “accessory to the crime” as they have their footprints all over the volatile Middle East. The United States must give our full support to Israel in its fight to remain a country, in the face of the Muslim hordes that want to see them driven to the sea. Israel can take care of business against Hamas, but we should be there for them if other bad actors enter the fray. We must act as their insurance policy to help them remain a free and democratic country, and our only reliable friend in that part of the world. Conservative Commentary by Chuck Lehmann Whether you hate or love Donald Trump, one thing is certain – during Trump's Administration there were few occasions where war was inevitable, mainly because he projected strength and not weakness. Today, we have a president, Joe Biden, who projects weakness, and look what has happened. War in Ukraine, war in Middle East, China threatening Taiwan, North Korea blasting missiles into the Sea of Japan, and violent demonstrations against the United States and Israel around the world. One slip up and we might be engaged in WW 111.
Ever since Joe Biden was inaugurated, it has been one international disaster after another. The first mistake was Biden declaring a “war on energy” by promising to do away with fossil fuels by canceling pipelines and energy exploration within our country, thereby making us somewhat energy dependent instead of energy independent as we were under Trump, and which now we have given “bad actor” countries a leg up in getting windfall revenues from taking up the lack of energy production that Biden unilaterally imposed on our energy industry. Also, Biden hasn't enforced the oil sanctions against Iran which has given billions of dollars of revenue to Iran to use in supporting terrorism in the Middle East and around the world. Then we had the disastrous exit from Afghanistan, where we lost lost 13 military and left thousands of U.S. citizens and Afghan friendlies behind, and billions of dollars of military arms and equipment abandoned for use by the Taliban. It has been reported that some of those arms have found their way to Hamas in Gaza for use against Israel. Not to be outdone by his incompetent foreign policy, he has been trying to resurrect the Iran nuclear deal that Obama negotiated and which Trump negated. He, recently, entered into a deal with Iran for the release of jailed Iranians and Americans, a 5 for 5 swap, but in addition, he agreed to give to Iran $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds, that eerily looked like a “ransom” payment. Even today, he has not accused Iran as being the country behind the funding and training of both Hamas and Hezbollah in their Jihad against Israel. One has to wonder, why not? All these misguided actions by the Biden Administration can reasonably be associated with giving the Palestinians and Jihadists in the Middle East the impetus to conduct their holy war against Israel and the slaughter of innocent Israeli civilians. The photo-op of Biden going to Israel didn't do anything to help with the dire situation at hand. In fact, he was ignored by both the leaders of the Palestine Authority and Jordan – what a slap in the face to the leader of the free world, a U.S. president. But not to take this “diss” personally, he announced that he is giving $100 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza and the West Bank. How much of that money will go to humanitarian aid, or for more arms and missiles directed by Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel? Can you trust Hamas or Hezbollah to do the right thing? Remember when Obama's Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, said that Biden hasn't been right on any foreign policy decision in 40 years? Well, it seems that his statement, unfortunately, has been proven correct up to this present day. Donald Trump, with all his warts and inflamed rhetoric, was someone who was respected, around the world, as a strong leader who said what he meant, and meant what he said. Our present leader, Joe Biden, projects weakness, and our enemies can feel it, that's why we have so much turmoil around the world and in the Middle East. That's why the election in 2024 is so important. Whether Trump or another Republican is the Republican candidate, the voters must vote for strength and not weakness – therefore, the voters should elect Republicans to bring strength back to our country and not weakness as we project now under Biden. Conservative Commentary by Chuck Lehmann There is an epidemic within and out of the United States. Within the United States we have retail establishments being invaded by “Smash and Grab” hooligans and thieves, and at our border we have a “Smash and Grab” problem by illegal aliens invading our country . Our government, by its lax immigration policies, have encouraged this illegal migrant invasion by promising free everything, including a free trip to any city in the country, free cell phones, free education, free food, free healthcare and the future prize of becoming a U.S. citizen. Are we dumb or what? Don't our incompetent leaders realize that when you reward bad behavior, you get more bad behavior?
The politicians who run many of our cities and towns, mainly run by Democrats, have by their actions of undermining our law and order system, have caused a major epidemic of lawlessness by mostly young people who have been organized, through social media, the raping of businesses and causing mayhem. Since the penalties of breaking the law have become almost non-existent, it has encouraged the lawless behavior on the part of those marauders. The same could be said by the policies of the Biden Administration who have given the “blind eye” to the lawlessness at our southern border. The illegal entry into our country has become a major problem, not only at the border, but in many cities and towns around the country into which the illegal hordes are being sent, and are finding out this lax immigration policy by the Biden Administration, has made life “hell” for their own American citizens, and rightly so. One has to wonder what goes through the minds of our political leaders when they embrace these lunatic policies that cause havoc in their cities and towns. In California, for instance, they have a law that people can steal and rob merchandise up to $950, with only a misdemeanor penalty if they are caught, and by which most George Soros backed district attorney's routinely dismiss out of hand, giving the perpetrators a free “get out jail card”. Again, how dumb is that? Most of these illegal behaviors are perpetrated by teens who realize that there is practically no penalty for breaking the law. Again, rewarding bad behavior begets more bad behavior. Duh ! As to the illegals who have entered our country, we wonder if they have the intention of becoming upstanding citizens or are they just going to free load off our generosity? It has been reported that many of the young men who have crossed our border are men who have criminal records from whence they came, many from communist Venezuela. Also, many of the illegals are complaining that they are not getting the benefits from our country that they deem that they deserve. How ungrateful can those people be after breaking our immigration laws? It is estimated that since Joe Biden took office, over 6 million have crossed our border who have been encountered by the Border Patrol, but that figure doesn't factor in the number of “gotaways” that most assuredly will inflate that 6 million figure. In addition, we've had an extraordinary influx of illegal drugs, mainly Fentanyl, which has killed thousands of people, mainly young unsuspecting people looking for a quick high, but found death instead. When will common sense prevail in our governments, on the federal and state levels? We can't, as a nation, continue with these insane destructive policies much longer. Without a secure border we will no longer be a country, we will just be a way station for anyone who wants to take advantage of our good will and largess. Yes, elections have consequences, so it is important to elect political leaders who will do the right thing in stemming this lawless behavior, both with our own citizens, and with the foreign invaders. Let your views be heard come the election in 2024. Elect people who will support the enforcement of our laws, otherwise we'll become the kind of country most of the illegals are fleeing from. Conservative Commentary by Chuck Lehmann The blitz in on around the country to “Fundamentally Change” the United States (former President Obama's words) to embrace the tenets of Socialism in place of our mostly Capitalist system, whereby over 40% of Millenials have shown an interest in embracing socialism in some form or another.
This is a prime example of the failure of our educational system that has failed to instill the benefits of our capitalist system, as handed down by our Founding Fathers. It is quite obvious that a goodly portion of our teachers, professors, and teacher unions (along with a sympathetic liberal progressive media) are advocates for championing Marxism/Socialism in our schools, colleges, and universities. The Democrats are the prime beneficiaries of the monetary largess of donations flowing into their coffers by the above named groups. Over 90% of political donations go to the Democrat Party in one form or another. To prove the point that the Democrat Party supports many of the tenets of Marxism/Socialism, it has been reported that approximately 70 members of Congress are members in the left-wing group called the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA). Some prominent members of this group are Senator Bernie Sanders, and the Congress people commonly referred to as “The Squad”, and a majority of the Congressional Black Caucus. Over the years, many prominent political observers have opined on the topic of Marxism/Socialism. Here are some of what was said by some of those prominent observers. Popular author and political critic, Ayn Rand, said the following: “There is no difference between Communism and Socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end. Communism proposes to enslave men by force, Socialism by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide”. Another noteworthy critic of Socialism was the late British statesman, Winston Churchill, who said, “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy”. Also recently, noted author and talk show host and historian, Mark Levin, has written two books on the subject entitled, “American Marxism” and “The Democrat Party Hates America”, pointing out the dangers of the views of one of our major political parties. One of the sad signs of the Marxist/Socialist orientation of the Democrat Party is that their policies have damaged those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain. The Democrat Socialists loudly proclaim to want to share the wealth by taking from the “makers” and giving to the “takers” - which is right out of the playbook of Karl Marx (the father of Socialism and Communism). The Biden Administration has embraced some of what socialism has to offer. They have fostered the theory of “Climate Change”, with their policy of getting rid of the lifeblood of the word's energy source, fossil fuels, by using the unreliable source of “green energy” in its place; using executive orders to ban gas stoves, incandescent light bulbs, pushing and subsidizing the sale of electric cars; attempting to pay off student loans against judicial decree; taxing excessively wealthy taxpayers over and above what is rational; while they are promoting the social justice program of DSI (Diversity Equity, and Inclusion). To the vast majority of the Democrats, “Equality” is a curse word, as it, to them, equality promotes competence over the the consideration of race, sexual orientation, and gender in its place. So in conclusion, if Socialism is so beneficial for the masses, how come there isn't a run by disenchanted people to go to the socialist paradises of Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and other Marxist/Socialist countries around the world? Could it be that's why so many people are making the decision to enter illegally the mostly capitalist country of the United States? Unfortunately for the United States, the Biden Administration and the Democrats have not enforced our immigration laws to stem the invasion of illegals and deadly drugs into our country. We must get our priorities straightened out in the next election or we'll be prone to becoming one of those other countries that the illegals are fleeing from, and that we'll fall victim to the destructive policies of Marxism/Socialism.
