I have long observed, accurately, that "Progressive" Democrats never recognize the true results of their failed policies and always measure success by what is in their minds, their ideas. And so it is with impeachment! They do not, in the least, prove and document impeachable offenses, but they continue to make the same claims, spew their mantra of "no one is above the law." True, even you people who abrogate the rule of law and continue to dig for evidence that isn't available aren't but you insist. You have bluffed your way, used dependent people and more to promulgate legislation that has resulted in societal decadence, loss of rule of law, racial divide rivaling 1860 and more. Hopefully your impeachment scam will stop your progress, although it is clearly your goal to save your march to perdition using the scam. Regrettable that honorable classical Liberal Democrats have devolved to this state. </span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Dr. Joe A.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0); color: black;">A 2nd look at the Trump-Pelosi interaction in the SOTU gives some reason to think that Trump's not shaking Pelosi's hand may have just been clumsiness and oversight. However, I will choose to believe it was deliberate. Inappropriate for sure in a statesman-like setting or a public display of public people. However, my early years as a bully-eliminator gives me impetus to be more critical of Pelosi than Trump. 1st she deliberately made her act very public knowing that media would be her promoter. 2nd, Pelosi gives every signal that she has no respect for the office of the presidency and, in fact, gives equal reason to view her as presuming to be equal to the president, or even hold supremacy over him. 3rd, Pelosi has gone so far to accuse the president of treason (vile, venal, totally unacceptable!!), 4th Pelosi has led a sham impeachment, even a scam, a coup d'état, against the president since before he was elected, 5th Pelosi showed disrespect for the guests, including a young girl who received a scholarship to a school of choice, not Pelosi's or Democrats' passion given their coddling of unions, 5th Pelosi, on the larger scale, has done nothing to elicit respect from the president or for any of us to whom she does not cater -- only minority voter blocs, not all Americans. Trump did better than we might have expected, in fact, quite well. Give him credit. Pelosi behaved like a petulant child, seek her resignation to be replaced by a person of honor and dignity -- a statesman/woman.</span>

<b></b><i></i>A commentator mentioned this morning that one's status with the left/ DP/"progressives" now depends on one's position relative to Pres Trump. Past sins and offenses are readily forgiven, if one but speaks against Trump. A long lifetime devoted to liberal positions and causes will be as readily dismissed, if one takes Trump's side on anything.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Not long ago John Bolton was universally despised and reviled by the these groups. He stood second only to Dick Cheney on their "most hated" list. Having written a tome predicted to smear and decry Trump, his status has gone from despised and reviled to the new standard bearer for truth, beauty, goodness and light. Since the announcement of his book, and the rumors that it is less than flattering to the president, he has become in a matter of weeks the Shining Knight of the Great Struggle for Honesty; the Sir Galahad of rectitude in government. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
On the other hand, Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz was for many decades a strong voice for "liberal" causes. He was a vocal and effective public supporter of Hillary Clinton's otherwise ineffective campaign for the presidency. Unlike the sham "scholar," Barack Obama, he was a genuine constitutional scholar, respected by all for his knowledge and his ability to impart his knowledge to others. When he spoke out against the more than three year series of shabby investigations futilely in search of a crime or a really impeachable offense, he became a pariah among the frauds of the left. His honest and knowledgeable statements to the effect that nothing turned up in a string of investigations was either criminal or impeachable were enough to brand him a turncoat and traitor to the "progressive" movement and the Democrat Party;a latter day Benedict Arnold. Supposed friends of years' standing turned their backs on the man for whom they had, quite correctly, expressed respect and affection for nearly half a century. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
How are the righteous and mighty fallen! How have the despised risen to once inconceivable heights! But where hypocrisy, dishonesty and self aggrandizing fraud are the norms and standards of behavior, as they are in too much of today's Democrat Party, such shabby and repellent conduct, and outcomes, can be expected</div>

Moynihan, Tip O'Neil and other statesmen think has happened to their party with the likes of Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Jerrold Nadler and a cadre of even less intelligent, group-thinking herd-running people, seemingly totally absent honor and decorum, leading the House of Representatives in shamming the Senate with bogus palaver trying to protect their own corruption and their march of America to perdition. They only prove that Democrats have elected a slew of the worst people among us. As undesirable as President Trump can be at times, their behavior should cause all Americans to support the president to preserve America as we have known her, a model for the world.

Nancy Pelosi will load her Gang of Seven "managers'' into a Yugo clown car, and they will convey the articles of impeachment to the Senate. After three years of concerted but ineffective search, and the squandering of unknown tens of millions of our tax dollars in their futile effort, they have produced two nebulous charges that do not even name real crimes. Their is nothing, even in the "penumbra" of their allegations, that even suggests the "high crimes and misdemeanors" required by the Constitution to remove a POTUS from office. Proven and eventually confessed perjury was not sufficient to remove Bill Clinton from office, as those who lived through his impeachment will recall. The House Democrats cannot even come up with spitting on the street or impure thoughts on a steamboat landing.</div>

Congressman Al Green (D-TX 09) stated the DP position most succinctly when he said that the DP had no hope of beating Pres Trump in the 2020 election. He correctly said that their only hope, since they cannot hope to beat him, was to remove him from office by impeachment. He got this one right at least.</div>

In anything but a total kangaroo court, with the verdict determined before the trial opens, could these pathetic charges, presented by trial managers who could not have gotten even a verdict of guilty against Timothy McVeigh for improperly using fireworks, have any chance at all. These false charges, improperly conjured up out of whole cloth, with malice aforethought, by dishonest charlatans unworthy of any elected office in an honorable and free society should come to their deserved and past due demise in the Senate.</div>

This freak show, which has hamstrung the president's efforts to show what can be done by a diligent, hard working and effective chief executive, and kept the Congress from carrying out the duties for which we elected him, may have one positive outcome. The ballyhoo attached to the effort will be so widely covered that the most uninterested citizens will have to become aware of what a contemptibly dishonest charade this has been. Hopefully a result of what the Democrats have foully wrought will be a purge of these undeserving lowlifes, and their being sent packing. Sadly, the worst among them will probably be able to withstand even the act of being found in bed with a dead woman or a live boy, but without a majority their fangs will be defanged.</div>

Corruption and absence of intellectual integrity define them and they've become masters at projection, never better on display than in accusing Trump of criminal behavior.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "quot";"><span style="font-size: large;">On
Monday morning, February 27, 2017, The Daily Press published a
letter by a citizen<b style="font-weight: bold;"></b>, in which he used the fallacious 97%
“consensus” on global warming to deride the newly approved EPA
Director, Scott Pruitt. He also took a swipe at new Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos for
speaking quite a bit of truth about misinformation now instilled in
students in our colleges and universities. The 97% “consensus”
is a mantra now presented as inarguable truth, yet it's fallacious,
a contrived prejudicial assessment. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "quot";"><span style="font-size: large;">First, we scientists know that
science does not yield to consensus, rather hypotheses and laws are
derived from disciplined analytical problem-solving work consistent
with the “Scientific Methodology.” Then on Monday evening, I
heard Bill Nye, The “Science Guy” puppet the consensus
fallacy in a debate. Americans are being misled! It's time to inform
them of truth.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "quot";"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
“consensus” propaganda came from a 2009 American Geophysical
Survey by two researchers at the University of Illinois. It is
referred to as the <i><b style="font-weight: bold;">Doran Survey or Zimmerman Thesis. </b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
“survey” was a two-minute, two question, online questionnaire
sent to 10,257 scientists by two university professors. Only 3146
“earth scientists” responded. The researchers cherry-picked 77
of the 3146 and labeled them experts. Of those 77, 75 (97.4%) agreed
“global warming, now climate change, is manmade. The AGU survey
was widely criticized by the scientific community, most notably by
the respondents to the survey. But, we don't hear it, do we? </span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Fairfax to AG Mark Herring, both rabid leftists and the promise a legislative agenda that will mimic California. Governor Northam, not one who shows much intelligence or integrity, promises to make gun control a major issue.

After exposure to more political jeremiads than optimism from many kindred spirits of late, I enjoyed an inspirational experience last night; a powerful reminder that the spirit and will for liberty are not dead in America. With very little promotion beyond word of mouth around one of the smallest and least populated counties in Virginia, hundreds attended the Clarke County Board of Supervisors' monthly meeting Their purpose was to demand a reaction to the proposed anti-Constitutional, anti- 2nd Amendment legislation to be considered by the now DP controlled state legislature at the behest of the racist, "progressive" governor Ralph Northam. Just as in Nazi Germany in the 1930s, registration of weapons, always the precursor to despotic confiscation will be demanded of citizens with every right to own these weapons Possession of such weapons will be forbidden. Any weapon that even resembles a military weapon will be proscribed, with felony convictions to follow for any who will not submit to this intended tyranny. </div>

The fascists now in control in Richmond are attempting to justify the revocation of one of the liberties we have enjoyed since the implementation of the Constitution by the thin excuse that it will control killing in the gang infested urban areas. They do not trouble themselves to explain how they see the denial of our rights in rural Virginia providing a remedy for the problems they have created or allowed to metastasize in the urban areas, but this is not really relevant to the discussion. This state of lawlessness is, of course, exacerbated by the draconian anti-gun laws already implemented in the urban areas. The honest, law abiding citizens are at the mercy of the criminals unless overworked police can get to the scene of the crime promptly. The adage that, "When seconds count, the police can be there in minutes," obtains here. Sometimes. In large rural areas, with scant law enforcement coverage, the minutes can run to hours. </div>

Although urban sprawl and creep are bringing drugs and crime, first to the suburbs and then to the outlying rural areas,.our problems here on the on the Blue Ridge are mainly ever bolder bears, coyotes and rabid animals of all species. In this, we are for all intents and purposes completely on our own. Police may be hoped for more quickly than the state game personnel, but as criminals invade us from the urban areas to our east, it will still likely require at least a quarter of an hour at the least for deputies or state police to get to the scene of potential crimes. Whether the threats come from wild animals or newly arrived criminals it is not hyperbole to suggest that our well being, and in some cases even survival, may depend on our dealing with these threats ourselves, and immediately. This, however, just as in the consideration of the problems of rampant criminality in our cities is of less concern than is the removal of a precious constitutional right, paid for with blood and treasure throughout the history of our republic since its genesis.<br />

Given these conditions, and the love of liberty imbued in Virginians for centuries, it should come as no surprise that rural Virginia is barely still within the bounds of civil discourse. Counties are declaring themselves "Second Amendment sanctuaries." County sheriffs are openly refusing to enforce any such un-Constitutional laws, should they be legislated in Richmond. Last night I witnessed hundreds of Clarke County citizens, the vast majority outraged and incensed but civil, gather to demand that our elected supervisors respond to the governor's intended breach of our rights. Carrhart overalls were seen next to Patagonia and L.L. Bean attire, Women in jeans were there in strength, as were stylishly dressed women in skirts and high heels, Beards covered some faces, but tastefully applied makeup was noted in women who seemed to be on their way home from professional or executive jobs "across the mountain." Hybrid automobiles and heavy duty pickup trucks were jammed in the county government center parking lot, and the overflow lined the street leading to the center for hundreds of yards. </div>

Veterans made their points, followed by formerly abused women, or women whose lives had been threatened by gangs prior to their moving to Clarke County. One man spoke in favor of county unity and harmony, and two women openly opposed the demand for the supervisors to address this issue in the strongest possible terms. The overwhelming majority of the more than forty who availed themselves of their First Amendment right to present their grievances for redress demanded action by the board, most wanting a declaration that our county be declared a sanctuary county.</div>

What was my personal concern; my "dog in the fight?" Must I as veteran with a 30% disability from the wound I received defending the Constitution during two years of voluntary service in Vietnam, and never in my 79 years found guilty of anything more egregious than a speeding ticket a half century ago, now be deemed a felon for refusing to surrender my constitutional rights to a tyrannical state government? Must a lifetime of hard work, and I have not retired yet, and community service prove the old Russian proverb, that "No good deed goes unpunished?" Not if I can do anything about it!</div>

Will this occur? To be determined. The board will not meet again until next month. Hopefully the would be despots in Richmond will see the reaction to the proposed legislation, and withdraw it before this meeting. If not, the hundreds who gathered in Berryville, VA will certainly be followed by thousands assembling at the Sate House in Richmond on 20 January, 2020. If nothing else, we are seeing a democratic republic in action. Those who did not see the necessity to vote for our rights will hopefully see the consequences of their inattention to their duty as citizens, and turn out in sufficient numbers to drive these fascist from office at the next state elections.</div>

Somewhere between the genteel "turning of the other cheek" that has characterized the behavior of the RP for decades in the face of ever more aggressive and undemocratic behavior by the DP on the one hand, and open insurrection on the other, will lie the preservation of liberty through stronger leadership in our legislatures, the US Congress, and the governors' mansions of our nation. If not, Virginia is not the only state in which Patrick Henry's cry of "Give me liberty or give me death!" will be heard once again.</div>

This was Obama's charter and he did much to effect it. Election of Trump president in 2016 gives Americans one chance to stop the "Progressives" march to perdition, destruction of traditional America. Out of 1st world status into lesser status, 3rd world -- Obama's stated goal, "change America then change the world."

<span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0); color: black;">IMPEACHMENT: After declaring Donald Trump a criminal and beginning to look for the crime, even before the election of 2016, and spending 10s of millions of dollars and the majority of congress' time for nearly three years, the rabid "Progressive" Democrat American transformation advocates have contrived to form two (2) articles of impeachment: 1) Obstruction of Congress and 2) Abuse of power, both undefined and both falling way short of "high crimes and misdemeanors" as defined by the constitution. This is a sham, a scam, fraud in fact. The real reason for impeachment -- trying to stop Trump's reelection in 2020. AND WHY? Because his election has interrupted the "Progressive" Cultural Revolution," war to transform America from the one that has been a model for the world to a lesser one of their image -- eventually departure from 1st world to 3rd world status. </span></span>Dr. Joe A.

They hold a place of honor within our collective consciousness serving as inspirations during times of strife. We celebrate their names, some we elevate to Sainthood. They endure persecution, vilification and, in many instances, death at the hands of their accusers. As ashes smolder, the wicked rejoice in victory ….. only to be judged or forgotten. The impeachment of Donald J. Trump may well result in the untimely end of a presidency, but it will not erase his legacy. The difficult truth is, good doesn't always prevail and is often overwhelmed by the malicious.</span><br />

You are doing that. I do not support your every action reflexively as do the "progressive" acolytes support their leaders. NOW, your abandoning the KURDS in N. Syria is of great concern. The Kurds are the most reliable people in that miserable part of the world. They helped destroy the ISIS caliphate. They are opponents of Erdogan, arguably the worst leader Turkey has had in decades and he's trying to undo all that Kemel Mustafa Ataturk did to modernize, secularize, Turkey in 1923! BTW, there are at least 12 million Kurds in Turkey majority of whom oppose Erdogan's efforts. Reconsider now, sir.</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Dr. Joe A.

This post will surely cost some "friendships" and perhaps elicit a threat or two. However, since college days I have studied the cultural revolution now 7-8 decades long and the effects, some ravaging, on every American institution as "Progressives" have sought transformation of the nation, unfortunately to a lesser one than the nation that has been a model for the world. Our nation is all but "broken" now. President Trump is blamed by those who are truly responsible, but he in all of his unconventional, sometimes disgusting, ways, is flushing out the worst of the revolutionaries. Sadly, a flock of new ones was elected in the last election. Is our condition already irreparable?</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I am torn between sadness for losing the proud and honorable Democratic Party of the maternal side of my family, all wonderful people as role models to help me <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">grow up, and anger at the parasitic Progressives (for want of a better word) who have taken control of the Democrats and true Liberals. I saw them building their sub-cultural influence as a college student and university faculty member in the 60's and their insidious efforts to transform America are becoming blatant reality under Barack Obama, their patron saint now. I have publicly criticized those of conservative persuasion for their ineptitude in opposing the parasites, but fact is it is nearly impossible to win against the dishonesty of this group. I can't count the number of times I've heard the words "Romney lies" since he won the 1st debate. It was thrown at me at the library here yesterday by a person who was so far off base on his claims about the fiscal condition of America that there could be no debate. When I told him I'd be glad to debate him publicly if he'd get accurate facts and debate honestly. He pointed a cane at me which I asked him to remove and he asserted ---- "I might have a gun in here." I assure all that if I had said that to him and others like him, today I'd be charged with a hate crime or a deadly threat. That's what we've become....40% anyway. By the way, I did tell him I'd break the cane around his neck if he persisted. He left quickly. Yes, I'm disgusted. No, I don't apologize. I've felt the sting of their sword too often.</span></span></div>

Bury head in sand, or somewhere and ignore that a gun isn't the only instrument of death to one who wants to kill. If you haven't heard of explosives, look up the term and numbers of same, More!! If one choses to ignore the human conditions that cause some to commit murder while others with the same experiences in life do not, then foolish is but one term, of several, that defines you. Why do we continue to elect to offices that execute, legislate, adjudicate etc those who are intellectually deficient and dysfunctional?? Why? Because we elect those in our image!!!!! What does it say about us that we continue to play with intractable problems that would not be intractable if we'd use the capability we're given -- a brain.

It was a beautiful September morning in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, as it was in New York. I had enjoyed my favorite Mexican breakfast, machaca nortena (eggs & dried beef, jalapenos, more) and papaya. I bade adios to the smiling breakfast cook and waiter, both of whom always made me feel it was very important to serve me. I checked out of the hotel, chatted with the friendly manager, who asked me if I'd return in one week as usual. No, maybe two to three weeks. After going home, I had to go to Scotland to negotiate a contract with SGL Carbon to convert Mann Industries-Grupo Cydsa carbon fiber precursor into carbon fiber for aircraft brakes. Our recent work had been very successful, the outlook positive. The day was good! Until I entered the waiting car and my driver/engineer said a “small plane had hit a New York Trade Center tower”. Soon, as we drove the 25 minutes to our office and factory, another plane hit the building. I said to Victor, “this is no accident, it's an attack. Please hurry!”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

In the office we soon watched the towers fall. It's difficult to describe my feelings. I was stunned, angry and numb. My friendly associates were incredulous. There were expressions of sorrow, many typical Mexican embraces and one not too surprising negative voice from the company Director General, who often had different opinions. He said, “This is inside Gringo job, no one outside could do it.” “This is what happens when you are biggest and most powerful.” Obviously, these two comments didn't comport. I said very forcefully, “I am in no frame of mind to accept such nonsense. You will not say it again, please!” He didn't. Later, in private, he apologized and assured me I was among friends and they would do all possible to help. He did. They did! And, so did others. I spent the rest of the day in the offices trying to get a flight and was assured no planes would fly, even for days.</div>

Carol called immediately to assure me she was safe. But, my concern was what the follow-up would be. Carol and our niece and nephew were in Williamsburg, Virginia, surrounded by military facilities and even a CIA center. Daughter Susan and family, as well as Carol's sister, were in Northern Virginia, her mother in Maryland, within minutes of the center of government. Daughter Leigh was in Greensboro, NC near one of the largest fuel storage depots in the East. My mother was seemingly safe in West Virginia, but only minutes from The Greenbrier Resort, which had been the “secret hiding place” for government officials in time of emergency since the 60s. Was it still? Soon, I had a different challenge -- convincing Carol I could not get 1000 miles to the border and she and “the kids” must not even consider driving 1000 miles south. An assistant, Maricruz, helped me with an excuse when I asked her about a bus to the border. She vetoed it forcefully saying it was very dangerous. “You could die.” “We will not 'approve' it,” she said in excited-Latina Espanol. That worked as I pondered other alternatives. </div>

In the third day, friends in Monterrey learned, they thought, that Continental would start flights from McAllen, Texas. There were reported problems crossing the border, but they would hire a person who knew how to get across without problems. They engaged the driver, I booked the flight out of McAllen only to be told within hours that no planes would fly. When I rescheduled McAllen, Continental canceled my priority. I was now in worse position, but for the best of intentions.</div>

The airport hotel filled quickly with people coming from many areas trying to get to the USA. I met many interesting people. A most interesting person was a lovely Latina, an American citizen, with her physician husband from Tampa, FL. She came from Veracruz and had been visiting her family there. We became friendly, exchanged credentials and agreed to try to stay in touch. At one point she became a bit emotional, as a Latina can be, often charmingly so. But, she was serious and so intense. She took my jacket lapels in her hands and with her face no more than inches from mine, she said, “Dr. Mann, you must believe me when I tell you something.” Of course I would. She said,“Americans do not know the 'bad things' happening.” She told me that Middle Easterners were paying large amounts of money to groups in Mexico to "make them look like Mexicans,” teach them Spanish, help them get Visas and to get across the border into the United States. I asked if she knew any of the groups. She tensed noticeably. I asked if her family was involved. Her expression said they were and her husbands slight nod confirmed it. She implored me to “tell our government.” I asked if she would do the same knowing, she wouldn't and couldn't. She said her family would be in danger. For sure! I understood and promised I would not reveal her identity but would tell our government. When I finally got home, I engaged a friend with DOD credentials and credibility I didn't have. We issued a report to agency heads whom he knew. We were told that we might never hear how they dealt with it. We didn't. </div>

I also learned that Hezbollah had a presence in the “Tri-Border region of S. America, known as the “Triple Frontier.” They were building a “base” of some kind. Not much was known. However, a few credible people confirmed that it was discussed among certain people, but not widely reported. Not until 2007 was either of these issues reported by Pablo Gato of Telemundo and Richard Windrem of NBC News. The stated intent of Hezbollah was to “get to the USA if anything happened to Iran.” Today, there are over 12,000 Google references. In 2008, I published an article along with a proposal to deal with immigration and terrorism, “IMMIGRATION BEYOND WALLS.” I gave well-received speeches as well. </div>

Again, in 2011, I updated the “Immigration” article and included the reference to Hezbollah. It was well-received except for one ignorant person who accused me of stretching the truth. Hezbollah couldn't possible be where I said and where reported He'd been cavorting in Argentina and didn't see anything. He didn't look at the 12,000 references. Why do I write this?</div>

I'm writing simply to indicate how foolish people can be, especially on immigration and terrorism issues But, they influence others. And, I'm reminded of the colleague who thought the towers came down under “gringo actions.” But he relented. Now I think of one of arguably the most undesirable, and in my opinion, one of the the dumbest, women in America, Rosie O'Donnell. She chooses to be ignorant and also claims the towers succumbed to an inside conspiracy. Her justification? “Never has fire melted steel!” Obviously, she is abjectly ignorant but that doesn't silence her voice. The sad fact is, foolish people like this one do influence others....and they get paid well by media to be what they are. There are many more. Can you say Bill Maher of HBO and Alan Colmes of FOX News? But, I'm digressing to make a point.</div>

NOW ANOTHER STORY WITH A BIT OF AMUSEMENT– GETTING OUT OF GRADALAJARA: </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">At the airport hotel I met an American Airlines flight crew. I had dinner twice with the captain and a couple of flight attendants. I told them of my plight with Continental Airlines. The captain said they'd find a seat for me and instructed me to go to an American agent, who'd have my name, and tell the agent he had sent me. I'd “have to fly coach,” though. Big deal! If I were on Continental, I'd be in seat 11-A on an ERJ 145, the best seat in the "tin can" for leg room. I bought a ticket for a flight scheduled the next day, the 6</span><sup><span style="font-weight: normal;">th</span></sup> <span style="font-weight: normal;">day of being stranded. I had breakfast with the captain and two attendants the morning of the flight and introduced them to my favorite breakfast. The restaurant was full of people, mostly ready to travel. It came time to fly.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-weight: normal;">As I entered the plane, one attendant was standing in front of the galley and the captain and co-pilot were standing in the doorway to the cockpit. The three of us spoke briefly as passengers filed into the cabin. I settled into my AISLE seat. The 2</span><sup><span style="font-weight: normal;">nd</span></sup> <span style="font-weight: normal;">flight attendant came by, welcomed me and told me “we are happy to have you aboard.” They were very nice people! Soon after we were airborne, the man behind me began to talk rather loudly revealing that his IQ probably wasn't in triple digits. He was talking to the person in the middle and another across the aisle. They seemed tolerant, but didn't respond. He may have been Rosie's mentor since he spouted the nonsense that the towers came down by “explosives planted in the building by insiders.” I was in no frame of mind to listen very long. I stood up, faced him, and simply looked at him for a while. He said nothing to me and stopped talking. But, only for a few minutes. He started again by trying to explain why there had to be explosives and that burning fuel could not have “melted steel and concrete.” I suppose I was more arrogant than the others around him, but I was in no mood to hear him any longer.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
I stood up, leaned over the back of my seat and said, “Sir, I've had enough of your loud nonsensical bantering. I suspect no one wants to be subjected to more of it. Folks are rather somber and relieved to be heading home. Now, be quiet!” A few in earshot applauded lightly. He shut up. I sat down to read. A flight attendant came by, ostensibly to bring me something. She knelt over and with a chuckle, said, “some passengers think you're a marshal. You're the only one on the plane wearing a coat and tie. You look official. Thank you.” I said let him think so. Maybe I'll be one for this flight. The man remained quiet for the entire flight. As we deplaned and walked up the concourse, a gentleman got my attention and said, “They told me you're posing as me.” You did a good job. I looked at him and said, “but you aren't wearing a coat and tie.” You're not official. OK, it's not an inspirational story, but it is an amusing memory from a time that was far from amusing in other ways. The attack was such an assault on all of America and a huge price was paid by so many good people. Yet, so many do not recognize the full impact of it, even today. I suppose we could start with Michael Bloomberg. It is not too difficult to make the case tha t America is being destroyed from within, once insidiously and now blatantly. Can the decline be halted?</div>

A friend told me this story the other day. She was working her one job in a wealthy town in the northeast. A man that she knew came into the store and was looking around. She walked over to him to say hi and he didn’t seem to recognize her at first and seemed distracted and disturbed. Finally through a weird forced conversation he realized who she was. She asked him if he was all right out of concern. He seemed so nervous and distracted. He started to rant about the white supremacists who are all around them and who could attack at any point any one of them. He was ranting about how did the country not see such a large problem with these white supremacists and how could they possibly survive. I KID YOU NOT! Folks, next time I hear about Our President stoking fear and unease in this country I will simply puke. It’s the media and it’s radical views, and its spewing propaganda that is directly responsible for igniting, fueling and fanning daily these imbalanced people. They lie daily, do not care if they are lying (an almost Machiavelli ideology), spew hate, disrespect and rage toward all that disagree with their latest freak show. They hide any of “their kinds” violent threats or acts toward Trump supporters and all that disagree with them and simultaneously promote, accentuate and sensationalize random events to further their agenda. Then to add to their role in instilling fear they tell people that they, the people who are the ones directly responsible for the demise of the world, which will disintegrate in 10-12 years. </div>

I would laugh but because this rhetoric terrifies so many of their base that have already been indoctrinated that they are bad because of white privilege, I can only shake my head in utter disbelief. I was never one to entertain the victim card. A party that totes talking points that minorities are victims of us, the evil white people who only know white privilege, is one whom I don’t care to listen to or support. A party that says they will take from those that have, (many of those earned what they have) to give to the have nots (many of who made a conscious choice to not work toward getting out of their ill conditions). I find this ideology appalling. Thankfully, I can decompress by writing, dog training, and walking as I politically follow this circus show daily. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Yes, I was never one to shy away from what I find revolting. I love my country too much to bury my head in the sand or say I am helpless to change the current situation. I am simply proud to be an American, am proud to be white, and am proud to be a Conservative, one who wants less government, not more. As a white nationalist (yes people a nationalist ....it doesn’t mean what the left wants you to believe it means) who is proud of herself and country and who is by no means a “racist” (the overplayed word that the radicals use to bully people into feeling guilty and bad), I do not agree that we should look at this country as if it is diseased. I wholeheartedly believe that to spend your waking hours of every day calling everyone that disagrees with you racist is not conducive to winning elections, but we will have to wait and see if I am right or not. </div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
Sadly though what is all too apparent is that the political left's violent rage is growing as it’s propagandists stoke the fire day in and day out. We have these leftist mobs outside Mitch Mcconnell’s house screaming to stab him in the heart. We have Rand Paul with a partial lung lobectomy due to a radical leftist attack. We just have to look at Steve Scalise and the recent attacks from the leftist mob Antifa on that journalist (one of many) to see that we are in a civil war where Americans who are awakened need to prepare to save their country and preserve its history, heritage and culture as the left is hell bent on destruction of all that we hold dear. No, it hasn’t just started either. This breakdown, hence destruction, has been occurring for years, but has reached a boiling point. We see this clearly in the celebrities cheering and encouraging violent attacks on the President, its Administration and its supporters. We have politicians threatening to beat up Our President. All of these factual incidents (yes, they are factual with video footage) go unadvertised by the propagandists, those pushing a blatantly obvious narrative. As their failed attempts to take down a President continue, they seem to be getting more and more desperate where nothing is off limits. Depraved? Yes. Radicalized? Yes. Outrageous? Yes. Anything that they think Our President is guilty of they do themselves tenfold but say they are justified in their resistance. Masters of [projection! Truly a disgusting bunch who do a true disservice to themselves but who are clearly not cognizant of this reality.</div>

<b>MICHAEL WILSON</b><br />
<b></b>“The crusade to overturn the 2016 presidential election, thwart the will of the American people, and to punish Donald Trump for his successful performance against the inept Hillary Clinton and her allies may end with neither a bang nor a whimper, but with a series of mumbles and stumbles from a man who had been given the status of a champion by Trump's enemies but who showed himself to be dozy and ill- prepared when he had a chance to perform for his te<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">am. Whatever Robert Mueller's deeds may have been in the Vietnam War, or decades ago in civilian government service, his performance showed that his armor was rusted so badly to render him no more effective than the Tin Woodman prior to Dorothy's arrival to apply oil. The battery in his light saber is nearly depleted. His performance before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees called into serious question not just whether he had authored the report that bears his name on the banner, but also whether he had even read the tome himself. This puts the apparently unregulated and unsupervised authorship in the pens of a group of rabidly biased Clintonistas, not the man who was presented as a paragon of probity and the champion of honest treatment and even handed usage.</span></div>

Saul Alinsky says in "Rules for Radicals" that ridicule is one of the most effective weapons in the fight against the "haves." It is also a two-edged sword, which will slice and dice those who would overturn the elected government by any means possible, as well as the powers that be. Mueller's performance, even by the admission of many of the more perceptive anti-Trumpers, was a disaster that will open the door to a spate of memes and snide comments that will derail a movement eminently deserving of being derailed. Perhaps now the House of Representatives will stop wasting time and money on an attempted lynching and get on with their delegated tasks of dealing with the needs of the nation and its citizens.”</div>

Are "Progressives" so hell bent on transforming America that they will use them and those like them as their agents of change, aka willful fools and useful idiots?" No question, the answer is the latter. YES! It took me quite a few years to realize, to accept the sad fact, that so-called "Progressives" knew their policies were destroying the America I learned to love and respect at an early age. I didn't want to accept reality that the party of my forbearers was now the party of subversives, seditionist anti-Americans hell bent on converting the nation from the founders vision, away from the model for the world to 3rd world status. I had to search deeply within me to realize that they could be so devoid of intellectual integrity and so willing to capture the worst among us to help them meet their goal(s). One must crank up a lot of optimism to believe this American Condition can be fixed. </span></span></span><br />

Today the Wall Street Journal published an article, "Iran Tries to Gain Sway in Latin America" mentioning the relationships that Ahmadinejad is building in Bolivia, Venezuelza, Nicaragua and Brazil. Not a mention of Hezbollah's base in the "Triple Frontier" of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. I learned of this on 9/11/2001, reported it, and didn't see anything published until 2007.<br />

On August 21, 2011, I wrote of it in rebuttal to a foolish article on immigration by a local writer. My write was rebutted by a community leftist who accused me of stretching fact. It just couldn't be true. It was! It is! At that time, there were 10,000 Google references and today those have grown to 68,000. Even after my seering counter to his foolish assertion and ignoring of the references, he buried a reference to me as a John Bircher in another foolish piece later. I mention this leading to the write below to indicate a huge problem we have with the misguided Progressives of today. I have long enjoyed a good conservative-liberal debate, in the past the essence of politics and governance. No more!</div>

Illegal immigration, statutorily a misdemeanor, has become a major criminal issue because of drug and human trafficking. It must be dealt with as such. Now, there is a terrorist component that elevates it to a national security problem. To use Leadbeater's term, it is “embarrassingly shameful,” but worse, for him not to know this. He trivializes gangs! Has he no knowledge of the El Salvadoran Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) or the Mexican Mafia (“M”)? He only has to trek to Northern Virginia to see them.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
TERRORISM? Yes! Middle Easterners pay huge amounts of money to Mexican groups to make them over into “Mexicans,” teach them Spanish, acquire US visas for them and they pass through the border gates unmolested. I learned this from people I met while stranded in Mexico during the 9/11/2001 tragedy. Friends in Latin America confirmed it later. I reported it to government agencies immediately. I also learned that HEZBOLLAH has a base in the South American “Triple Frontier,” the tri-border intersection of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.. This was finally reported by Telemundo and their parent, NBC News, in May 2009.<b> Hezbollah states openly that their strategy is to attack the USA from this base if “anything happens to Iran.” But, they are not waiting. They are proactive. It's now reported that radicals from this base flow freely through Brazil into Mexico and illegally cross the border into the United States. Their identifying materials are found abandoned at the border. What responsible person can downplay this? Who can doubt their intent?</b></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
Over a few years, I researched the immigration issue and in 2008 published a treatise entitled “Immigration and Terrorism -- Beyond Walls.” It included a 24-point proposal for reform and was presented to President Bush. It included proposals to deal with the 12 to 20 million illegals already here. I've neither seen nor heard better. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
Six million of those are reported to be here on expired visas! Names are on record, but who, in fact, are they? Where are they, what are their intentions? How many came here disguised as innocent Hispanics. How many have found their way from the South American Triple Frontier to cross the borders of Arizona and other states? Surely, there must be sufficient numbers to infiltrate every significant population area of the USA. What happens next? When?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
<br style="clear: none; color: #757575; display: inline; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px;" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
<i><b style="font-weight: 700;">Irrespective of what the President, Secretary of Homeland Security and others declare, we are at war with terrorists. It's not too much of a stretch to think we will be at war, on the borders at least, with drug cartels that are rapidly taking over Mexico. I'll go so far as to say that any person in position of authority who abdicates his or her responsibility to deal with this issue is participating in the endangerment of every, American and is threatening national security and even sovereignty.</b></i></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
Finally, for anyone, including the president, to brand those who recognize the seriousness of the immigration/terrorism issue as "racists" and those who deal with the problems forthrightly with “racial profiling” is wrong and utterly irresponsible. Moreover, it is equally wrong to compare the current immigration issue to immigrants of the past. Some immigrants are similar, especially the innocent Hispanic (or other) coming for a job and a better life, but many are not. Many undoubtedly are here to do harm. They actually tell us as much.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
The fact is, we are in a fight for the heart and soul of the America that we have known and loved, the America that became the greatest nation on earth. Will she maintain her greatness? Not without major changes in policy and a purge of irresponsible policy makers. Radical? Think about it....objectively. </div>

I wrote that Comey's "investigation" would not lead to indictment of Clinton. So it was! A trusted confident suggested I give Mueller a chance to prove he was/is better. As of today's presentation, he proves he is no better, just more devious and more stealthy. Just as dishonest. He essentially used what I have blogged about, "Progressive" Democrats' use of 4 words when accused of wrong-doing -- "there is no evidence." Essentially, Mueller said he/they couldn't find the crime so did not indict. He, like all others before him and like all Democrats, knows in his devious mind that a crime must have been committed. Really. Nineteen Democrat lawyers, some rabid and Clinton supporters can't, in two years and $35 million spent, prove the crime they "know is there." Incompetence? Dishonesty? Both and neither is acceptable. Go crawl in the same dung den with Comey and others Mueller. And, don't lean on your military service for credibility. You flout that and belittle it. Shame!!! You didn't have a case, Mueller, and you disgraced yourself!!! Dr. Joe A.

Even worse, his so-called War on Poverty led to the destruction of American black families with a significant escalation of welfare and policies designed to keep poor families dependent on the government (and voting Democrat) for their well-being.

He significantly set back race and other relations between Americans by stoking black grievances and pushing radical identity politics.
