Calif.(Dem.)Governor: The fires consuming our state are climate change caused and, therefore, Trump’s fault!!

Montage: Really….? Seriously….?
Idiot, please read Dr.Thomas Sowell’s 2009 book “Intellectuals and Society”. Exposing your Lefty self to the unaccustomed torture of critical thinking
might be a nice change for’ya, Snowflake.

Now, back to baseball.

Trump is pulling out. Doesn’t mean there will be immediate human rights respecting democracies with free markets — but allows locals to trend towards those advances. “Local warlords”, or other tribal power decision makers.

Thanks again to Montage for speaking the Leftist argument:
“The Republican hate the Democrats and Obama, Clinton, Biden, Pelosi and those to the left just as much as the Democrats hate Trump and conservatives. ”

Christians are taught to hate the Sin, but love the Sinner. I was NeverHillary not from hating her as a person, but hating her support for abortion on demand, her enabling B. Clinton’s sexual predations, her lies about her path to riches, her Clinton (bribery) Foundation and the death of the Haitian man who opposed the corruption the Clinton folk in Haiti. I hate high taxes and high regulations. I hate her policies.
Her, I feel sorry for. Also feel sorry for Biden; even feel his wife and other staff are at the point of abusing him.

Even Trump doesn’t “hate” the people who attack him, who he then counter attacks with insults. Almost none of the conservatives who get paid for their reporting or opinions or teaching or entertainment, who are rich and/or famous, “hate” the various crooked Dems as people, but do hate the policies.

Lots of news folk, opinion writers, teachers and professors, and media stars, plus others who paid to talk about issues, lots of them “hate” Trump. Many also hated Sarah Palin; and they hated Bret Kavanaugh, perhaps the cleanest Boy Scout type person in politics in the last 20 years. They also hated Bush, when “Bush Derangement Syndrome” was first coined.

I think Reps should be calling it Democrat Derangement Syndrome. It was also shown under Reagan, and began under Nixon.

Top/ elite Republicans do NOT hate the Dems as people, tho they do hate Open Borders/ no immigration enforcement; huge trade imbalances with Red China and bad, un-free trade agreements.

It used to be Dems could hate the policies of Reps. Now they hate the Republicans as people. I hate that kind of hatred – and have friends who I think suffer Dem Derangement Syndrome who still are mostly nice, bright people.

Thanks to Trump, after 19 years the Middle East is getting more stable in some ways, and Democratic Israel’s right to exist is becoming acceptable to more Arab Muslim countries.

Thanks to leftist Dem Professors, America is suffering riots. Because there is no gov’t program that can achieve cosmic justice.
Life is unfair. But such unfairness as parents, genes, IQ, beauty, place of birth – nobody can make all such factors “fair”, nor even agree on what fair would mean.
Injustice is when people have made decisions. There has long been less racial injustice in America, but the results continue to have Blacks having more problems.

The real problem is systemic promiscuity. Too many Blacks have sex outside of marriage, and get pregnant outside of marriage, and either have an abortion (which often causes problems) or have a child outside of marriage. Over 70% of Blacks born last year did not have their mother married to their father.
Because of systemic promiscuity.
Not racism.

Obama used drone strikes extensively. It didn’t seem to have the same effect. Trump’s willingness to change the ROEs against ISIS and the Taliban may have concentrated minds somewhat more wonderfully.

Until the concept/conceit that the Koran is the “literal word of God” is demolished, the rest of the world will be facing a continuous stream of Muslim terrorists,convinced that they are insuring their path to paradise by killing infidels.

Either that, or we kill them all.

“When a man knows he could have a Hellfire missile dropped on him at any moment, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.”
Apologies to Samuel Johnson

When I got tot the gym, I hopped onto a bicycle and road as I watched the TV on the wall wanting more info. The second airliner collided with the other tower, and I knew then that we were at war, but I didn’t know who we were at war with. As the news of the airplane hitting the Pentagon and then Flight 93 going down in Pennsylvania, I realized what had happened. Airline SOP for hijackers was to do as they asked. Take them wherever they wanted to go. No one dreamed the hijackers would be suicidal. No one imagined that they would kill the flight crew. No one imagined the idea of an airliner as a bomb. Well, maybe some of the CIA spooks had heard about such ideas, but discounted the probability that such a plot could be successful. Yet, here it was.

For a month I saw unity in the nation that I hadn’t seem since WWII, but it didn’t last. The left were soon hard at work trying to blunt the effort to go after the foe – radical Islamic jihadis. The security theater of the TSA was launched and air travel became a bigger pain in the b**t. My wife and I traveled frequently in those days and I consciously wore a stout leather belt with a heavy metal buckle along with a couple of ball point pens in my pocket – both acceptable to TSA, but weapons that can be used if you ended up on a rerun of Flight 93.

Some months after 9/11 I read the book, “Touching History,” by Lynn Spencer. It’s a running account of what happened at Air Traffic Control (ATC) on the ground and in the air from the time it became clear that the airliners were being weaponized. After ATC shut down all national air space and ordered all aircraft in the air to land immediately at the nearest possible airport, It was extraordinary that there weren’t any operational accidents. Made me proud of the airline industry and the ATC infrastructure that supports our air transportation.

I watched an interview yesterday with Bernard Kerik, who was NYPD Commissioner on 9/11. He spoke movingly of the courage and sacrifice of New York’s police and firefighters that day. It was truly above and beyond what anyone could expect. So sad that the city and her first responders are going through h*ll now, thanks to Comrade De Blasio and accomplices.

So much has happened since then that it seems long ago, and yet the memories are still etched in my brain.

Has anyone noticed that we haven’t heard much from the
radical Islamic jihadis in the last two years? They are apparently laying low and no doubt applauding BLM/ANTIFA. And maybe hoping for a Biden win?
