Ever since Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his groundbreaking “I Have a Dream” speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on Aug. 28, 1963, the Deep State has been hard at work turning King’s dream into a living nightmare.
Big Government
Promoted from the Comments: Wag the Dog, Who’s Government is it, and Rich Men North of Richmond
I haven’t done one of these kinds of posts for a while, and while going through my emails on Sunday after being OoO (“Out Of The Office”) on Saturday, these caught my eye as they each spoke to the REAL threat to our “Democracy.”
“I Don’t Know Where Any Bodies Are Buried. But I Think I Know What Happened to Their Souls.”
From 2007-2015 Simon Marcus was a British Conservative Party Candidate, “sometime advisor and up-and-comer.” He’s taken that experience and written a piece you should read titled “How Politics Destroys Your Soul.” He’s talking about Parliament, but it rings true in any political environment.
Point That Finger in the Mirror
Recently, I saw someone complaining that the Biden administration’s attempts to suppress free speech on social media are inconsistent with promises that Biden made to ‘bring decency and morality’ back to government.
“Biden Owes His “Victory” To Blatant Political Corruption”
Reporter Tom Elliott has compiled a compelling list of facts pointing out the US government’s institutional corruption. You’ve likely seen some or most of them, but they paint a disturbing and unpleasant picture of America when laid out in succession.
Government Power Is Like a Deadly Disease
Government power is like a deadly disease.
If you don’t nip it in the bud, it grows faster and faster – and more dangerous.
That’s what the Founders and Old Revolutionaries warned us about – repeatedly. As a result of ignoring their warnings for generations, we now live under the largest government in history – and the disease keeps getting worse.
Like a Boomerang, The Exasperation Keeps Coming Back – Federal Govt Debt Ceiling Games
This is a freakingly great concept! If you can’t spend for everything, try PRIORITIZING the spending.
Teacher’s Goal Is To Confuse “Her” Children About Gender and MORE! – Stack of Stuff #40
Yep, another helping of teachers/staff/School Districts acting as full-blown ideological missionaries for Gender Dysphoria mental illness and Critical Race Theory (you are only what your skin shows, not how you think). The first story up is a tale about the endgame of both tactics – chaos, and confusion.
Don’t Trust the Government with Your Privacy, Property, or Your Freedoms
How do you trust a government that continuously sidesteps the Constitution and undermines our rights? You can’t.
Data Point: Americans Believe American Government Has Too Much Power
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A 54% majority of Americans say the federal government has too much power, while 39% say it has about the right amount of power and 6% say too little. These figures have generally been stable throughout the Donald Trump and Joe Biden presidential administrations. Since 2005, no less than 50% of Americans … Read more
Chris Pappas Can See a Russian Family Having Dinner From His Front Porch
The Pappas campaign has struggled with legitimacy for years. He’s got a white-collar political activist in a commercial pretending (much like Pappas himself) to be a blue-collar guy. And now there’s an ad with a “New Hampshire” family eating dinner who are actually Russian, living in Moscow.
The Eavesdropper
A real tragedy that Americans have lost their Fourth Amendment right to privacy! Did anyone think to restrain the makers of cell phones from listening in on every conversation? I don’t mean just what is said between caller and callee. I mean, yer basic CIA can hear whatever you say NEAR your phone.
Data Point – Two-Tiered Justice System and Government Is Rigged against Ordinary Citizens
I’ve been posting other Data Points that we ordinary folk are losing Trust in our institutions (both private and public). Now, it is blatant. From the Trafalgar Group: (click to embiggen) If you go to the link, you’ll see that this is an “overall” take. If you look at the Republican, Democrat, and Independents’ take … Read more
Vermont Spends Hundreds of Millions – The Problem Got Worse
Throwing money at problems that get worse might suggest to some that the problem isn’t money but not Democrats. First, it’s not their money, so why would that matter? Second, the cash enlarges government and state power which is why they spend it. What, you thought they cared?
Skip’s Sauntering Snippet #9-Whose Fault Is the Great Baby Formula Shortage (Hint: It Ain’t Putin)? Plus, FDA to Be Investigated!
Yes, I’m going backwards – that’s what happens, as I’m finding out, that when you record a number of stream-of-consciousness thoughts because you had WAY too much time in the car, sometimes current events overrun your planning. Like it did with the Baby Formula – which is now back in the news as the FDA, … Read more
Vermont Wants Department of Ed to Police School Mascots, Team Names, and Logos
When you know better, you just do, and failing to use that power is an injustice. It is your job to tell everyone else what everything is, or means, what they should do, and how to do it. Even what to say and not. And the more Democrats there are in your government, the more it thinks this way.
Worry Over Climate Change is Causing … Eating Disorders
The climate changes but the political movement that seeks to address climate change couldn’t care less. They can’t predict it and even if it were real could never do a thing about it. But they can and do scare the crap out of people which is the only true goal.
He’s a Fool for Believing Government Is (Or Can?) Be Coherent
I had a really good laugh at one of the Daily Sun’s Letters to the Editor. They are complaining that NH’s Government doesn’t have a “rational and consistent energy strategy.” This translates to “a strategy that I believe is the ONLY one we should have – but don’t.”
Notable Quote – We’ve gone the wrong direction; REALLY wrong!
Somewhere along the way we lost our conviction that the best government was self-government. In our enthusiasm for turning over every social problem to the administrative bureaucracy for solution, we forgot that democracy is based on the maxim that the solution of the problem of social life is the business of the people themselves. Neither … Read more
In Biden’s America, Americans Should Go Where They’re Treated Best
With President Biden’s approval rating down to 36 percent, he is now more unpopular than his two predecessors ever were in office. But, beyond politics, the very idea of America is losing luster.
