What A Letter!

2 Comments

Folks, I know it’s Sunday, the Lord’s Day, and I did attend church this morning as my bride and I do every week. But then I come home and while I should have stayed off the computer, it was too cold outside (would you believe it was in the low 30′ last night; had to cover my tomato plants. Yeah I know shame on me talking about such mundane things to you folks up north), but then I digress as usual. Anyway I go online and start eliminating emails that are always filled with the goings on of the day, which usually contain more about the Third World Shithole in which we live. But one email I never delete without reading is from my dear friend and brother, Lobo

He had an attachment written by a Marine retired general for whom I have the utmost  regard and respect, albeit I never served under him, and I consider that my loss. We were; however, within shouting distance several times during our careers. His reputation  stands for itself.

I strongly recommend you read his letter, and for God’s sake, take heed and let’s continue our mission. Write some damn letters, make some phone calls, and above all else — MAKE SO NOISE!

THE MODERN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT A STORY OF CORRUPTION, INCOMPETENCE, LIES AND ILLEGALITY

The best places to start a study of today’s Washington are Congressman Jim Jordan’s highly readable book, “Do What You Said You Would Do” and the much longer, even more staggering, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” authored by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Both provide authoritative confirmation of the news that flies daily on the internet.

Former topflight college wrestler and one of the few members of the current Congress who aggressively supports the desires of his constituency, Jordan exposes such matters as the 6 January 2021 “insurrection” in the capitol and is harshly critical of colleagues, Republican and Democrat, who campaign using promises that are ignored once they take office. He also addresses lies like the “insurrection” of 6 January 2021, recently called, “worse than Pearl Harbor” by a “woke” Democrat politician.

Both books are most instructive. Every American who is concerned about what is happening to our once great country will find cause and confirmation of their concerns in the authors’ works.
Robert Kennedy, a gentleman who had a “… 40 year career as an environmental and public health advocate…” provides a detailed exposition of America’s catastrophic response to the COVID – 19 epidemic. By page xx of the Introduction, the reader learns that the lockdown strategy put 58 million Americans out of work and among other things contributed to, “a run-up in the national deficit … the interest payments alone will cost almost $1 trillion annually.” To add perspective, it takes $1,000 Billion to equal $1 Trillion. Adding insult to stupidity, according to Google, the National Debt is hovering around $29 Trillion.

That’s not all. Among other things, page xxi of the Introduction reveals that, “When Dr. Fauci took office, America was still ranked among the world’s healthiest populations. Not now. An August 2021 study by the Commonwealth Fund ranked America’s health care system,” dead last among industrialized nations, with the highest infant mortality and the lowest life expectancy.” And there’s more. Much more, including the page 29 revelation of published studies based on fictional information provided by an Illinois based “medical education” company. The company had 11 employees, including a “… science fiction writer and a porn star/events hostess.” Yessir, just “follow the science.” Read further and you have to wonder why many people, including Fauci are not in jail.

Both books ought to be on every bookshelf in America. Every day brings corruption on steroids into American life. The books are enough to prove that America is in serious trouble. Much of the mainstream media is useless. It is an ally of the “woke” and a megaphone for the distribution of lies and amazingly stupid and often unpopular policies.

An example of the media lapdog relationship with the Democrats is found in a recent internet video showing a Republican House Member announcing that the much ballyhooed Build Back Better Bill contains a proviso that the Federal Government will pay one half the salary of every print or electronic news reporter  THROUGHOUT THE NATION.

Think of it, a back door, government controlled news agency. Whose money will be used? Or even better, think of Dr. Josef Goebbels and the Nazi propaganda machine. It takes a seriously sick group of politicians to come up with that portion of the trillion dollar farce.

The above examples show why the internet is a major source of current news, especially news that most major print and electronic media outlets ignore or even lie about.

More samples of internet content are found in January 19th’s early morning internet intake. It included four articles and a highly informative video, all overlooked by the lapdogs. All spread the stench of official corruption, incompetence, lies and, illegality that abound on a daily basis.

The intake started with a missive entitled, “Bad Border Crisis – Mexico a Larger Crisis.” It included, as an attachment, a copy of a speech delivered by the former Director for Texas Homeland Security from 2007 – 2018. He had much to say about our border with Mexico; however, his starting point was that “… Mexico is on the brink of becoming a failed state.” He went on to note that the cartels currently have influence over the Mexican government and upon failure of the government, they will move in and take full control of Mexico.

The cartels already have operatives in the United States to keep an eye on police activity and run the deadly drug distribution network (they must have celebrated the Defund the Police insanity as a true gift). A Mexico under full control of cartels, some of which are already smuggling lethal Chinese drugs into the US via our southern border, is a potential national security threat of the highest order. The cartels will expand the number of US based drug and human smuggling operations. To do so, they will add the necessary violent criminal manpower.

Our current Secretary of Homeland Security has said, “The Border is Closed.” That is a blatant lie. Border officials have repeatedly stated that, “we have lost control of the border.” The US Government has done nothing to close the border. The number of illegals and flow of lethal drugs continue to increase. China’s involvement continues to increase. Who are the illegals? What are they? Why doesn’t Washington care about the drugs and associated deaths? Border patrol officers are shot at from Mexico. Washington does nothing. Why? The Southern Border. Is clearly in a catastrophic state. Why does the Federal Government not do its DUTY and actually close the border?? A nation without a border is no longer a nation.

And why, in the name of God, are Illegal immigrants allowed to use arrest warrants as ID alternatives in order to board aircraft? That gem was initially announced by the Transportation Security Administration on 21 January. According to a 22 January internet report, it was confirmed by the Western Journal the same day. Whose aircraft? Where do they go? Why? Who pays for the flights?

The second internet offering was an edition of “Fred on Everything.” The subject was the crumbling American educational system. One of the more maddening facts surfaced when our educational system was compared to those of other countries. It was reported that, “America’s mathematics teachings are being dumbed down because math is racist.” How insane! Where is the nation’s Department of Education as parents fight Board of Education introduction of pornography in grade school curricula and libraries? Where is the Department of Education while math is being “dumbed down” or porn is being taught in grade schools? Get rid of it.

Next comes the internet report that the Department of Defense is “… quietly looking into how nonbinary troops can serve openly.” This, and the DOD effort to identify racists and right wing extremists in the services, is occurring just as Russia masses infantry, artillery, armor and combat support commands on the Ukrainian border. Shades of 1939 Europe and the Nazi force buildup on the Polish border.

If Russia invades Ukraine, Europe either goes to war or faces the prospect of possible further Russian ambitions to recreate the Soviet Empire. If Europe prefers freedom to possible subservient domination, highly possible NATO commitments will force American participation.

Of much greater importance, just as Russia threatens to invade the Ukraine, Communist China is drooling at the prospect of occupying Taiwan According to internet reports, DOD has openly stated that wargames against China have repeatedly resulted in America’s defeat.

Unfortunately, even cursory discussion of DOD and the services requires a separate paper. However, it is worth noting that DOD is now slow rolling a congressional demand for a report concerning the gift of roughly $80 Billion worth of military equipment to Afghanistan’s Taliban. The report was due two months ago. There’s trouble in the wind. Real trouble.

One military related matter that was not mentioned in the 19 January string of early emails is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) unbelievable phone call to his Chinese counterpart. He told the Chinese general that, should America decide to activate the nuclear launch system with China as the target, he would give the Chinaman a warning phone call. Reports of that phone conversation were received with amazement by government officials and the public. Nothing has since been said or apparently, done about that call.

It is reasonable to assume that China’s decision making chain of command for launching nuclear strikes is shorter than ours. The Chinese could launch a first strike nuclear attack and then claim, for public benefit, that their attack was prompted by a warning phone call. Or the call could actually be made as the activation system is working its way through the chain only to be stopped for some reason. At that point, China would have every reason to launch its nukes. Much talking about nukes. Little thinking.
The final example of one morning’s internet intake is a Lawrence Sellin article discussing the amount of taxpayer money Fauci has spread around to support questionable biowarfare research. Fauci is no friend of America.

Washington is not a swamp. It is a malfunctioning open air sewage treatment plant. The lies, corruption and power grabbing must be stopped. America is not just going in the wrong direction; it is sliding rapidly downhill toward the loss of freedom and the tyranny of communism. Look at the 6 January protestors who are still confined in a DC jail. What happened to “a speedy trial?” What is being done about reports of prisoner abuse? Why are they jailed when real rioters and insurrectionists burned down government buildings and attacked policemen during the 2021 riots run free?

There are signs that the American people are catching on. Great! But not enough. The lies, insanities and illegalities continue unabated. Military veterans who have gone many places and seen so many things in peace, or often in war, have a broader background than others. They should be prominent in the defense of America. Washington should be barraged with letters by the thousands. Numbers count to politicians. Veterans should identify themselves. They are citizens who contributed to America’s defense. As a group, they have clout. And they should encourage friends and relatives to join in the effort. It’s their country, too. They must be heard.

Please start the hobby of tormenting DC with letters. We have a huge, target rich environment. Expand upon subjects in this paper. Go after others … crime; inflation; the failure to investigate $1.5 Billion the Chinese gave Hunter Biden; the police who beat a defenseless woman’s head with nightsticks during the 6 January demonstration; and empty grocery store shelves. Given what goes on in the sewage treatment plant, the possibilities are virtually endless.

Major General Jarvis Lynch, USMC (Ret).

FBI = Federal Bureau of Intimidation?

7 Comments

Another great revelation from my dear friend and Marine Brother. Is this what our law enforcement agencies are supposed to be doing in a free democratic society? I think not, but they are. This has to stop, and stop now. We need to write our elected mafia who are allowing this to happen without uttering a word. Thank you Mustangs, and press on Brother!

FBI: Broken Trust

by bunkerville

by Mustang

Good morning, America — or, as Joey Tribbiani might say, “How you do’in?”  Good, I hope — but I’m not placing any bets.  Recently, our friend Mark alerted us to a recent Rasmussen poll suggesting that Nearly half of Americans see Biden’s FBI as a “personal Gestapo.”  That may seem a bit extreme, except that the Biden Attorney General’s Office recently doubled down on its requirement that the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division open up investigations on parents demanding accountability from their local school boards.  That’s right, folks.  The FBI is less concerned with Moslem extremists than John and Mary Doe, who object to idiotic racial theories being crammed down the gullets of their young, impressionable children.
Then they came for the SocialistsAnd I did not speak outBecause I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionistsAnd I did not speak outBecause I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the JewsAnd I did not speak outBecause I was not a Jew
Then they came for meBut there was no one leftTo speak out for me

Parents Beware!

Merrick Garland Has a List, and You’re Probably on It

By Gerard Baker

Merrick Garland’s got a little list.

The attorney general is compiling a steadily lengthening register of “society offenders who might well be underground and who never would be missed,” as Ko-Ko, the hypervigilant lord high executioner, sings in Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado.”

Mr. Garland’s list of society offenders is compendious. At the top are right-wing extremists who’ve been officially designated the greatest domestic threat to U.S. security, but whose ranks seem, in the eyes of the nation’s top lawyer, to include some less obviously malevolent characters, including perhaps anyone who protested the results of the 2020 election. Then there are police departments not compliant with Biden administration law-enforcement dicta, Republican-run states seeking to regularize their voting laws after last year’s pandemic-palooza of an electoral process, and state legislatures that pass strict pro-life legislation.

They’d none of them be missed.

Oddly, the list doesn’t seem to extend to the hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed the southern border so far this year and are now presumably at large somewhere in the U.S. without a legal right to be in the country. Nor to those benevolent folk who have reduced several of the nation’s urban centers to crime-infested wastelands.

Which is presumably why the latest names on his roll are those parents who have had the temerity to challenge local school boards about the mandates they are imposing on their pandemic-ready classes and what the children are learning.

That wasn’t how the attorney general presented it when he announced the news. Citing a “disturbing trend” in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school-board members, teachers and other school employees, he declared that he was directing the Federal Bureau of Investigation to work with local and state law enforcement to develop “strategies” for dealing with the problem.

The announcement looked as though it had been carefully coordinated with the National School Boards Association (NSBA), which had asked the Biden administration to do exactly this.

Decent people everywhere acknowledge that violence is intolerable—whether perpetrated by Black Lives Matter agitators torching buildings, Trump supporters smashing federal property, or parents who throw projectiles at school board members.

But the letter from the NSBA contained barely any evidence of actual violence. It cited mostly antisocial behavior and threats, and some of the offenses referenced—such as a parent making a mock Nazi salute to a school board—are, however offensive, constitutionally protected speech.

And, as has been widely noted, when acts of violence occur, they can and have been dealt with by local or state law enforcement. There is no federal interest in any of these infractions.

All this merely underscores what the real objective of the attorney general’s action was—and we don’t need to engage in speculation because it was recently spelled out to us by another leading member of President Biden’s party, Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia.

In a rare moment of honesty from a politician, Mr. McAuliffe made clear, in a television debate with Republican Glenn Youngkin, the Democrats’ conception of the role that parents should have in their children’s education: none whatever.

“I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

Aside from the jaw-dropping disdain for families, Mr. McAuliffe’s prescription is at odds with Article 26.3 of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the sort of grand multilateral pronouncement the Democrats usually fetishize, which states: “Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.”

This flagrant attempt to intimidate parents into handing their children over to the mercies of the state is as sinister as anything the modern progressives who now control the Democratic Party have done.

The message is clear, and it has been the character of education in totalitarianism systems through history: These are not your children; they are wards of the state, and the state (in this case through the teachers unions that fund the Democratic Party) will determine what they learn and how.

Democrats like Mr. McAuliffe insist that pernicious racial doctrines teaching the ubiquity of white supremacism and the inherent racism of American society and encourage racial segregation aren’t actually taught in schools. But this is laughable. The same Democrats have spent the last year insisting on racial “equity” as the defining objective of their social program. Why would they leave it out of the schools they mostly control?

Mr. Garland’s brazen attempt to intimidate will likely backfire as more parents—including many who aren’t especially conservative—become alarmed by what they see and hear in their children’s schools. By placing them on his little list, he may have done us all a favor.

End of Critical Race Theory

3 Comments

From the American Thinker. Lord, I pray he is correct!

 

By Gamaliel Isaac
July 11, 2021

Critical Race Theory is liable to end for reasons very similar to the reasons the Salem witch trials ended.

In January 1692, nine-year-old Elizabeth (Betty) Parris and 11-year-old Abigail Williams (the daughter and niece of Samuel Parris, minister of Salem Village) began having fits, including violent contortions and uncontrollable outbursts of screaming. After a local doctor, William Griggs, diagnosed bewitchment, other young girls in the community began to exhibit similar symptoms.

A special court, the court of Oyer and Terminer convened in Salem to hear the cases; and based on spectral evidence the first convicted witch, Bridget Bishop, was hanged that June. Eighteen others followed Bishop to Salem’s Gallows Hill, while some 150 more men, women, and children were accused over the next several months.

Opposition to the trials grew as the family and friends of more and more villagers were accused of witchcraft, including the wife of Governor William Phips.  Governor Phips saved his wife by dissolving the Court of Oyer and Terminer and moving all trials to a higher court. This superior court did not allow “spectral evidence” and, since most of the earlier accused witches had been executed due to this evidence, any remaining witches were all ruled innocent.

The tide is turning against Critical Race Theory as those who endorse it become its victims.  Most teachers and staff of New York schools went along with the CRT craze, because they were afraid they would lose their jobs if they spoke out against it.  In fact even George Davison, the headmaster of New York’s Grace Church school that teaches CRT did not dare admit that he had said in a private conversation with Paul Rossi, a teacher at his school, that “we’re demonizing kids, we’re demonizing white people for being born.”  Instead, Davison accused Rossi of misquoting him.  Rossi released an audio recording proving his account was accurate after which Mr. Davison, perhaps with some persuasion from his school, decided to retire.

As is well known, revolutions eat their early supporters.  Appeasing the CRT crusaders may protect the jobs of teachers and staff in the short term, but in the long term, CRT will destroy them.  That is because the goal of the CRT crusaders is equity and achieving equity requires that the jobs whites have be transferred to people of color.

Teachers in the New York High School of Public Service experienced this directly after principal Paula Lev said she was going to get rid of white teachers and fired one of them.  According to the New York Post, the teachers had overwhelmingly supported anti-racism and equity.  These same teachers became its predictable victims.  Prior to this the faculty had no problem teaching Critical Race Theory and dividing the school by race.  Belatedly according to the Post, the faculty is rebelling, charging in a vote of no-confidence that Lev has “flagrantly but unsuccessfully attempted to divide our school by race.”

As more and more white workers find that their allegiance to equity and anti-racism is no protection, the day grows closer to when Critical Race Theory will go the way of the Salem Witch Trials.  The best way to hasten that day is for maximum publicity to be accorded the fate of those who appease the CRT revolution in vain.

Wake up America!!

America’s War on Children Part II

4 Comments

I’m sorry gang, you probably want to hear more about Trader Joe, but I just got this from Fox News and almost spilled my coffee reading it. Are there any sane humans still living in California? If you know of any, please ask they why and let us know what they say.  It has to have something to do with family, ya think?

Anyway, this is a hoot, I mean an absolute hoot,. Even worse than banning straws. What is interesting is to read what some members of the school board said to defend their 6 to 1 decision. They have literally no clue what they were elected to do. We didn’t hear from the one dissenting vote, wonder why? Maybe he’s in hiding?

What’s even funnier is to read some of the idiotic comments responding to this post by Fox News. Should you desire to do so, please cut and paste the following into your browser. Otherwise read on and enjoy!

https://www.foxnews.com/us/san-francisco-school-board-votes-to-rename-schools-honoring-washington-lincoln-feinstein-others

San Francisco school board votes to rename schools honoring Washington, Lincoln, Feinstein, others.

Replacing signage at the 44 schools will cost more than $400,000, a report says, plus other related costs. The price tag could also go up to around $1 million for schools to get new activity uniforms, repaint gymnasium floors, etc., according to the Chronicle. The district is facing a budget deficit.

Not even revered former presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson are safe from “cancel culture,” it appears.

The American icons were among a list of historical figures whose names will be removed from San Francisco’s public schools following a 6-1 vote by the school board Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

Washington and Jefferson were both slave owners and Lincoln, who ended slavery, became controversial because critics claim he oppressed indigenous people.

The presidents were among a long list of men and women whose namesake schools will soon be renamed. Others on the list include Francis Scott Key, who wrote the words to the national anthem, former presidents William McKinley, James Garfield, James Monroe, and Herbert Hoover, Revolutionary War hero Paul Revere and author Robert Louis Stevenson, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Even an elementary school named for current U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., will be changed over allegations that she replaced a damaged Confederate flag outside of City Hall when she was the city’s mayor in 1986, according to Courthouse News. She didn’t replace the flag after it was pulled down a second time.

Historical figures have come under a sharp focus since anti-racism protests swept the country last summer, with some protesters ripping down Confederate statues but also those of figures like Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and others they deemed offensive.

STATUE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN WITH KNEELING SLAVE REMOVED IN BOSTON

Mayor London Breed rebuked the plan in October as “offensive,” saying the school board should be focused on reopening schools closed during the pandemic rather than renaming them. Wow, a sane statement in a sea of insanity; remarkable. Heck she might even have a piece of a brain left, ya think?

(Abraham Lincoln High School, among 44 schools targeted for renaming, is seen in San Francisco. (Google))

“It’s offensive to parents who are juggling their children’s daily at-home learning schedules with doing their own jobs and maintaining their sanity,” she said at the time, according to Courthouse News. “It’s offensive to me as someone who went to our public schools, who loves our public schools, and who knows how those years in the classroom are what lifted me out of poverty and into college. It’s offensive to our kids who are staring at screens day after day instead of learning and growing with their classmates and friends.”

Replacing signage at the 44 schools will cost more than $400,000, according to the Courthouse News. The price tag could also go up to around $1 million for schools to get new activity uniforms, repaint gymnasium floors, etc., according to the Chronicle. The district is facing a budget deficit.

While the board focused on renaming the schools in the Tuesday meeting, it did not discuss reopening schools from coronavirus shutdowns.

Other critics complained the panel that reviewed the appropriateness of school names used little input from historians and didn’t put the figures into a historical context or weigh their contributions with their failings.

Others argued the research process was thin, relying on selective sources and using websites like Wikipedia to back up claims.

NY TIMES COLUMNIST: ‘YES, EVEN GEORGE WASHINGTON’ STATUES MUST GO

In the case of Roosevelt Middle School, it wasn’t clear if the board knew which former President Roosevelt it was named for, but decided to have it removed anyway.

Board member Mark Sanchez, however, called the decision a “moral message.”

“It’s a message to our families, our students and our community. It’s not just symbolic,” he said, according to the Chronicle.

Board member Kevine Boggess, who supported the resolution, suggested schools shouldn’t be named after anyone.

We “should not make heroes out of mortal folks,” he said, according to the Chronicle. “I think we need to examine our naming policies across the district and really consider how the way we go about naming schools reflects our true values.”

School staff and families have until April to suggest new names for the schools.
