While I was listening to his program, old Franko was reading all this stuff about the history of populism and the IRS. Later on that night we shared with each other what we had learned and the information beautifully intersected on a point of enlightenment. So what Levin is warning about has most certainly already happened in the past. I think it’s a shame that history and common sense are not on the side of Trumpmania. [More…]
I’ll admit, I’ve learned some things during this election cycle. One thing that has come to my attention that I never really realized is this transfer of power from the legislative branch of our government to the executive branch of our government. We know something is wrong in our country. We see it’s effects. We see our nation crumbling. But why can’t we stop these things from happening? I mean what is the plan to get this country back on track. What track? The constitution track. People just don’t understand HOW we’ve strayed from our constitution. Therefore, we don’t understand HOW to get us back on a constitutional track. What is lacking must somehow be provided. This is just one aspect of all this mess. There must be a transfer of power BACK to the legislative branch of government. [More…]
So the trade wars have begun. Mark Levin says that Reagan was for free-trade. Julia Hahn says that Reagan was actually a protectionist. Who’s right? I have to say that the latest article by Julia is very well written, very sophisticated, very well sourced out with quotes and references to back her up. And when I first read it, I got to admit I was shaken up a bit and thought, “Maybe Levin isn’t quite right about what he’s been saying about trade?” But I went outside and did some work and chewed on all this and read the article again. It took me a while, but I see now that this article, though it’s convincing, is still nothing more than manipulative Trump propaganda. With a little bit of brain power, a common man like me can see this for what it really is. So I quoted the entire article and I added my notes in an italicized red font to explain what really is going on. I know trade talk is boring and doesn’t really make ratings on the cable networks; but it is important. So if you can endure it, please read on. Here’s the entire article: [More…]
More Smoke April 11, 2016 There’s more propagation of The Great Bluff in the news, some of it coming from very credible people. Let me explain how this works. The people that want this information to gain credence will hint at it and maybe suggest it. These people would be [More…]
Remember, the first way the rules can change will be at the standing rules committee which has been meeting since the 2012 Convention. Morton Blackwell, who’s been part of the Rules Committee since 1856 (kidding), has actively been trying to change the rules back to the way they were before the 2012 Convention. In fact, his March 8th article, Rules at the 2016 Republican National Convention, explains very clearly that he was ALMOST successful in getting the rules changed in the RNC Winter Meeting. Of course, back in January, we wanted those rules changed. Now, we really don’t. At first, leaving them the same sounded good because it would cut Kasich out of the race. However, Morton is trying to change them for the good of the country. He’s trying to de-centralize the party, and help the grassroots. Helping the grassroots, however, in this race helps Johnny Boy, because right now he’s stuck in the grass. [More…]
As outlined in The Great Bluff, the conversation revolving around the Establishment dropping in a non-candidate into the convention mix is a bluff. It may not be, but it may be. So I want to keep track of all that’s going on out there to perpetuate this bluff. On one side, you’re going to have the fear-mongering and finger-pointing saying “The Establishment is going to put Ryan in!”; knowing full well that it’s mechanically impossible. On the other side, you’re going to have the Establishment confirming and perpetuating these fears saying, “Yeah, that’s exactly what we’re gonna do!”; all while knowing full well that it’s mechanically impossible. They’ve been successful so far in amplifying this rhetoric in order to make getting Kasich on the ballot look like a compromise. [More…]
So the bluffing serves two purposes: First, it caused an unwarranted fear of a contested convention and of the establishment. In that respect it worked. Sean Hannity parroted this bologna 20 times a day for the past 2 months and has tried endlessly to scare people into believing that the Establishment is going to “leap frog” some non-candidate into the mix. Rush Limbaugh bit too. Every episode he made sure to tell us that the Establishment’s plan was to parachute in a savior. [More…]
