My TV told me Kamala Harris good Orange Man Bad therefore it must be true

Democrats have two extremely unfair advantage when it comes to every election. The first advantage is produced by mainstream news outlets.  It is painfully obvious to any rational human being that the media is made up of sycophants and cheerleaders for the political left.

In every election cycle, it is abundantly easier for Democrats to appear to have “momentum” when the media prattle on about their supposed momentum. It is easier to declare Democratic campaigns are “flawless” when the media steamroll over any flaw that emerges. It is easier to look “really smart” when journalists tell everyone you’re smart, and if voters don’t understand you have a stunning intellect, then you’re “misunderstood.”

The media act like the wind beneath Kamala’s wings, and then they praise her flying skills.

Her weaknesses are buried as Donald Trump’s strengths are attacked. She fails to empathize with Gold Star parents whose children were killed in Afghanistan, and the media attack Trump for having the chutzpah to show up at Arlington National Cemetery at their invitation. The only scandals that aren’t fake news are the Republican scandals.

 Just about half the population get all of their news from sources that are extremely biased. They only get half the story and what they do get is extremely distorted. 

These same Americans lack the ability to question what they hear coming from their TVs and read in their newspapers.  They seek out only sources online that conform to their progressive beliefs system, and they attack anyone who dares to disagree with them.  That is because the American educational system was replaces with a Marxist brainwashing conglomeration decades ago.  Here are three quotes by the great Thomas Sowell which illustrate just how dysfunctional our educational system truly is.

The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.

Our whole educational system, from the elementary schools to the universities, is increasingly turning out people who have never heard enough conflicting arguments to develop the skills and discipline required to produce a coherent analysis, based on logic and evidence. The implications of having so many people so incapable of confronting opposing arguments with anything besides ad hominem responses reach far.

Whether blatant or subtle, brainwashing has become a major, time-consuming activity in American education at all levels. Some zealots have not hesitated to use the traditional brain-washing technique of emotional trauma in the classroom to soften up children for their message. Gruesome and graphic movies on nuclear war, for example, have reduced some school children to tears—after which the teacher makes a pitch for whatever movement claims to reduce such dangers. Another technique is the ambush shock: A seventh-grade teacher in Manhattan, for example, innocently asked her students to discuss their future plans—after which she said: “Haven’t any of you realized that in this world with nuclear weapons no one in this class will be alive in the year 2000?”75 These

We must destroy the Left’s stranglehold on education

For the past several decades Progressives have maintained almost complete control over the entire educational system of the United States. The evidence of that is everywhere.   Would Kamala Harris be remotely competitive in this presidential election if half the electorate was not utterly indoctrinated?  This election would be a landslide for Trump.

If the founding principles of the United States and civics were still taught in school would the American people have complied so meekly with all of the COVID tyranny that swept across this nation four years ago.  Hell no. 

The American people would not put up with having nearly half of the income confiscated by the government every year.  The Boston Tea Party is proof of this.

If the Left did not have a stranglehold on our educational system half of the population would not by stymied by basic scientific truths such as the fact that males and females are different.  Half of the American people would not be ready to lynch you for declaring that man-made climate change is a fraud.

Freedom of speech would not be controversial at all if half the population was not brainwashed.  Facebook and the rest of the social media outlets would not be able to censor their users at all.

The mainstream media would have very few viewers for their propaganda filled broadcasts if these viewers were not first thoroughly indoctrinated.

The political left began their takeover of the American educational system back in the sixties.  Their opening move was quite brilliant.   They infected teacher colleges.  The graduates spread their contagion to the college level.  Over the past decade even grade schools became cesspools of Marxist indoctrination.

Several years ago parents began speaking out at school board meeting against the brainwashing of their children.  This was so successful the justice department under Joe Biden took action.  If more parents spoke out, that would be a good start.

Cutting off the flow of money from the federal government to colleges would be a big help, along with abolishing the Department of Education.  The unholy alliance between teacher unions and the Democrat Party also needs to come to an end.

There is so much more that needs to be done and little time left if we want to salvage our Constitutional Republic.

Tovarishch Gospozha Kamala Harris

Tovarishch Gospozha was a very common honorific in the old Soviet Union.  Comrade madam would be a reasonable translation.  After a close examination of Kamala Harris’ campaign proposals, those few that have trickled out, I believe it would be quite appropriate to use that particular honorific when referring to her.  They are very much like the disastrous economic proposals that were all too common in the standard Soviet five year plan.

Price controls are one of the main pillars of Marxism.  It is no surprise that Kamala is planning on using them to fight the inflation caused by her and the rest of the Biden Regime. Trump: Kamala Harris Has Gone ‘Full Communist’ (townhall.com)

“In her speech yesterday, Kamala went full communist…she wants to destroy our country. After causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls,” Trump said in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. 

“Never worked before. Never ever worked. This is the Maduro Plan, Venezuela…Maduro Plan of like, the old Soviet Union. They tried it. How did the Soviet Union work out?… It will cause rationing, hunger, and skyrocketing prices,” he added.

Price controls have failed spectacularly wherever they have been implemented, including here in the United States. Kamala Wants Price Controls, and It’s Not Because She Has “Good Intentions” | Mises Institute

A freeze on prices meant it was no longer profitable for many producers to bring products to markets. The supply of goods and services fell while prices rose. Prices accelerated into 1972 when the CPI rose 3.8 percent, followed by a CPI increase of 8.8 percent in 1973 and 12.2 percent in 1974. 

Price controls on food led to predictably disastrous results. Under Nixon’s price controls, farmers couldn’t sell chicken products at prices high enough to justify the cost of feeding the chickens. In the early 1970s, farmers killed over a million baby chicks. Similar problems occurred in the beef and pork industries with farmers sending pregnant sows to the slaughterhouse while dairy cows were butchered. 

With prices already being forced upward by the inflationary pressure of Nixon’s runaway government spending and abandonment of the dollar’s last link to gold, price controls pushed prices even higher. Price controls were a key factor in the 1970s economy, now notable for stagflation and crippling cost-of-living increases. 

This next proposal by Kamala Harris has destroyed the medical system in every country where it has been tried. Kamala Harris Wants To Impose A Soviet-Style Medical System (thefederalist.com)

Medicare for All would abolish all public and private insurance plans, except Indian Health Service and Tricare, replacing them with a single federal plan. A national health budget would dictate payments for both services and goods. Patients would pay nothing directly but a massive amount indirectly, as Medicare for All would be funded by taxes. Given the cost of Medicare for All, the tax burden could easily double for Americans. In Sweden, a cradle-to-grave socialist economy, the top tax rate is 52.2 percent.

The 2023 Medicare for All plan would cover most Americans. Harris intends to add approximately 11 million illegal entrants, at least initially. The Medicare for All bureaucracy would determine what care individuals get, when, by whom, where, and even if. Medical autonomy, the freedom to choose one’s care, would be nullified, just as in the United Kingdom’s single-payer system. 

Harris’ Medicare for All plan amounts to a centrally controlled economy — a market with no free-market forces. Without proper economic incentives, costs and spending rise without limit while service suffers, quality declines, and innovation ceases. Recall the wait lines in the U.S.S.R.’s centrally controlled economy.  

Only a true Marxist is economically challenged enough to beleive that raising taxes on businesses would lead to prosperity. Kamala Harris Targets American Businesses With Massive Tax Hike (breitbart.com)

Vice President Kamala Harris is gunning for businesses with a plan to hike taxes.

As part of her presidential campaign, Harris is pushing to hike the corporate tax rate to 28 percent, a move that critics say could hit the economy hard just as the country tries to steady itself.

Harris campaign spokesman James Singer confirmed the plan to NBC News, claiming—without evidence— that the tax increase is “a fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.”

The hike could significantly weigh on economic growth and discourage investment inside the U.S. By raising the statutory rate higher than those of many other major economies, the tax could drive businesses abroad.

As a result of her tax increase the corporate tax rate in the United States would be the second highest in the developed would.  Her tax proposal would destroy the economy of the United States.

Facebook has jumped the totalitarian shark

At last count, I’ve been sentenced to the Facebook gulag 28 times.  The only crime I have ever committed is that of posting articles and memes that reflect my Libertarian beliefs. My posts constantly contradict established progressive orthodoxy, which is the official religion of the political left. 

Those on the political left firmly believe that any form of communication that contradicts progressive beliefs is hate speech.  They mistakenly maintain that hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment.

It has been painfully obvious since Facebook first went live that that social media platform is extremely hostile to communications made by those of us on the political right.  That is because Mark Zuckerberg is a rabid leftist. 

Until recently Facebook would slap articles that contradict progressive orthodoxy with a phony fact check and hide them behind several clicks.  After offenders accumulate a couple of these bogus fact checks, they were sent to the gulag for 90 days.  During that time hardly anyone sees your posts because they are reduced to the lowest possible priority.

Just this past month Facebook began removing posts entirely.  When they do a scary looking message like this one, which I received today, flashes across your screen

As you can see from the title of the actual article they removed, it is in no way spam: Texas Mom Reads Anal Sex Passage From School Book — Mic Gets Cut (taphaps.com). Imagine a book distributed in school that is so pornographic the reading it at a schoolboard meeting gets your mic cut off and posts mentioning it removed from Facebook.

After the screen informing you that they removed your post Facebook warns you that you will be in trouble if you continue posting stuff that they do not like. It is a blatant form of intimidation.

The most pathetic and most dangerous aspect of this censorship nonsense is this screen equating sharing articles that contradict progressive orthodoxy with physical harm.
