Redistributing misery... uh, creating "A Just Society"

Redistributing misery... uh, creating A Just SocietyFrom the Green New Deal meant to battle the nonexistent enemy of Climate Change, wild-eyed Dems have expanded their target to include the ever-popular gripe of income inequality. Repackaged as "A Just Society: The Uplift Our Workers Act," non-representative Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the face for a bill that institutionalizes government control over employers and labor. Unions become passé as far as the socialist wing of the democrat party is concerned as this giddy sounding legislation undermines worker-driven contract negotiations (corruption notwithstanding) and delivers it into the hands of an "executive agency."

Tolerating religious persecution... or are we

Tolerating religious persecution in IndiaNot five days ago, a direct report came from India how government agencies have Christian organizations under constant telephone, internet and financial surveillance. The information was carefully divulged during a Facetime communication with a missionary in India who is a natural-born citizen of the country.

McLuhan's 'Media is the Message' Now 'Message of the Media

McLuhan's 'Media is the Message' Now 'Message of the MediaThe latest salvos in the war on America's heritage exploded last week, fired-off by major media, congressional actors and stage-managed youth. After 50 years of leftist academics and media rewriting history, the New York Times is going for broke. Re-imagined history (because the Times' 1619 Project is a figment of their imagination) was built into an emotional introspection peddled as a serious examination of this nation's founding.

Refusing enemies entry to your home

Isn't it so racist that Israel won't let us in the country Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu closed the door when enemies came knocking, and not without good reason. History is a harsh teacher but a necessary one when it comes to self-preservation and Israel used common sense in refusing permission for Representatives Omar Ilhan and Rashida Tlaib to enter the country. Expect democrats and leftists around the globe to berate Israel with epithets of "racist" and claiming the Israeli government is denying free speech when the decision to shut-out these two members of Congress is a matter of wisdom.

Racism didn't cause Texas and Ohio shootings

Racism didn't cause Texas and Ohio shootingsThe first claim has been thoroughly disproved and with the two horrific shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio the rhetoric against President Trump has switched gears despite the fact he had no more connection with the gunmen than he did with Russian election meddling. Not that the facts will stop the barrage of unwarranted blame flying from the mouths of virtually every democrat in office or seeking office.

Islam, leftists hand-in-hand promoting "green" legislation

Islam, leftists hand-in-hand promoting green legislationWhen it comes to environmental justice what do muslims and liberals have in common? Most news readers would probably answer without a beat... "nothing." However, that isn't true. There's been a growing relationship between Islam and progressives for generations but it's only become apparent over the last few years.

Depopulate to repopulate--an ancient formula for control

Depopulate to repopulate--an ancient formula for controlProgressives, under the guise of Social Democrats and, now, the mainstream Democrat Party, have fully embraced the concept of depopulation, but they're no longer targeting people of color, certain ethnicities or sexual orientation. The bull's eye is boldly painted on the back (because cowards won't face their adversary) of anyone who still believes in God, family and country.

Oregon farmers, truckers, loggers and senators rebel against Dems

Oregon farmers, truckers, loggers and senators rebel against DemsNational media has been quick to cover Oregon Governor Kate Brown's militaristic response to republican legislators who have cut senate sessions and left town. In an effort to save Oregon agriculture, transportation and natural resource industries from bearing the burden of a boundless cap and trade bill (Oregon HB 2020), 11 republican senators ditched the state capital to prevent a quorum in the chamber. It was a stand made to force the far-reaching plan into a referendum vote rather than allow a super-majority legislature, packed with politicians lacking business experience, to set policy.

Socialism: Humanity's terrible twos

Socialism: Humanity's terrible twos"Mine" and "no." Each toddler goes through the stage of identifying everything as belonging to them. They'll hold tightly to an item that is another child's and refuse to give it up, sometimes yelling "no" at the top of their lungs. They haven't grasped the concept of ownership beyond claiming as theirs what they see and want. Young children can't see past the expectation that their immediate desires are fulfilled without hesitation.

Mueller investigation wasn’t a fishing expedition, it was a safari

Mueller investigation wasn’t a fishing expedition, it was a safariDemocrats don’t see President Trump as a witch or even the enormous fish (arms spread wide to emphasize its size) that got away. House leadership and the deep state operatives have always seen their nemesis as big game to be tracked, shot, delivered to the taxidermist and rendered into a trophy to hang in the Capitol rotunda.

Could the Equality Act influence this SCOTUS session?

Could the Equality Act influence this SCOTUS session?As usual, this commentary could be pushing the envelope on assumption. Should that be the case, it's certain that someone will call out the defects following. A case that is now being considered by the Supreme Court of the United States was the subject of a recent column--Sex discrimination doesn't translate to pantsuit equality. Bringing it back into focus is the Equality Act, H.R. 5, that the House of Representatives is poised to vote on this week.

Sex discrimination doesn't translate to pantsuit equality

Sex discrimination doesn't translate to pantsuit equalityConfused boys, girls and others who are doing their best to degrade social standards to virtually none at all, it's time to draw the line. The question is whether SCOTUS can sort it out without giving in to popular thought that deconstructs culture.

Trekking to slavery

Trekking to slaveryHow is it that people will line up to leave their family and homes behind in exchange for shackles? What can they be told that will make them trek hundreds or thousands of miles over lousy roads through worse weather to reach a foreign country? Lastly, what has that got to do with Passover? ...A promise of something they lack.

Obamacare fallacy is alive and well

Obamacare fallacy is alive and wellOnce democrats and socialists have invented distorted definitions of equality and social justice, they clutch them to the end. No sensible argument or explanation can penetrate the depths of dogma squarely lodged in their circular thinking.

Chalk one up for the Church

Chalk one up for the ChurchFour years of holding the fort against local government attack, while continuing to rely on faith to get through the siege, has finally yielded good fruit. Hyperbole? Perhaps, but the Christian ministry that weathered the blockade employed by a county planning commission ignorant of the Church's mission can testify to the battle that was fought just to make one very important point--that the Church is called to love and assist those in need and is not just a building that stands empty except on Sunday.

Playing with fire: repubs brandishing liberal torch

Playing with fire: repubs brandishing liberal torchHaving lived and worked in both Cathy McMorris Rogers and Greg Walden’s districts, I’ve seen the infiltration of liberals settling in their rural, and historically conservative, regions. The result of the migration of leftists into right country makes it apparent that these two (and other republicans facing liberal incursion) will cross the line if the President can be expected to take the heat and cover for their transgression.

UnAmerican “American” wants to come back

UnAmerican American wants to come backTo what purpose does Hoda Muthana really want readmittance to the United States? To live the good life or to do her part to undermine the government that guarantees it? Once a person claiming citizenship abandons their claim by joining forces (literally) with an enemy, they have renounced any possible privilege of returning to that nation. And this is precisely where the “ISIS bride” stands.
