Country Clubbers, as Bad for the Economy as Democrats

Rush Limbaugh frequently critiqued the affluent, establishment-oriented wing of the Republican Party, referring to them as the “country club segment.” Many Republicans likely dismissed his characterization without fully comprehending its deeper implications. Moreover, they seem unaware of the significant and potentially detrimental impact their political and economic approaches could have on the broader national landscape, particularly in terms of financial policy and societal economic dynamics.

One of the big reasons we had problems stopping illegal immigration is because the illegal aliens drive the wages down drastically. I hope I don’t need to explain why that is so beneficial to rich Republicans; as well as rich Democrats too. Naturally, many of the rich Republicans had as much of a desire to open the borders as the Dems did.

Though I don’t know the reason, this group also seemed to be in favor of making the killing of unborn children legal. My best guess is that they didn’t want to lose elections and their power.

Donald Trump’s political rise disrupted traditional Republican Party dynamics, challenging the established country club elite by appealing directly to a broader base of supporters. His unconventional campaign and messaging resonated with voters beyond the typical Republican establishment, potentially attracting disillusioned Democrats and working-class constituents who felt overlooked by mainstream political figures. Trump’s ability to connect with a diverse range of voters fundamentally transformed the Republican Party’s, especially those who wanted to stop illegal immigration as well as the traditional power structure and electoral strategy.

As you might have noted, many of those country club crowd have left the Republican Party and began opposing the Republican Party and Trump. No one told me why but I think I have a good guess. You will likely have a good guess too when you realize the drastic decrease in inexpensive illegal labor.

Typically Democrat

I know. I said I was done posting. And I mean it. And I am horrible for making exceptions. Still, every now and then someone will say something so typically Democratic, synonymous with dumb, and it would seem I am the only one in the world who notices just how stupid it is.

I am not sure who said it on one of those liberally controlled Sunday morning shows, but it makes little difference. It is a thought shared by most, if not all, the leadership of the Democrats.

The critique centered on Trump’s leadership style, highlighting his tendency to make unilateral decisions without prior consultation. The source suggested that such unpredictability undermines diplomatic relationships, potentially creating tension with foreign leaders who expect more measured and collaborative approaches to international relations.

First, sometimes the best thing a president can do is be strategic with opponents. Secondly, he is not being particularly deceptive. For the most part, he is doing what he said he would do during his campaign.

I guess they slept through those parts, or at least some of them did. Certainly, I have not seen anything that could be called deception. Then again, I do not keep my fingers in my ears during the campaign.

Please, if there is one person out there who believes that one national leader should be surprised, please send me your comment. However, I would hope you will not use any profanity.

Unique Idea

For years, I have been writing posts suggesting that a good way to cut back on crime is to keep the criminals in prison.

Surprise. I just heard an official in Memphis suggest the same thing when he was addressing a problem with repeat offenders. Maybe he is a little slow on the uptake, but he just might have finally figured it out.

Now, he needs to spread the word to all the other cities. Rare as the idea is, it is a proven method.

Of course, it does have a downside for me. If the crime rate in Memphis goes down, it might not help my property values as much.

Save Us From the Experts

We all know the definition of the expert: someone who knows a whole lot about very little.

Throughout the pandemic, we were being given advice and direction by people who were called experts. Throughout the epidemic of AIDS we got advice and direction from the experts. In both cases, in every step along the way, they were wrong. Millions of lives were lost in both cases directly and indirectly as a result of following their guidance. In both cases, they are batting a thousand at being 100% wrong. They not only caused the death of millions but also about destroyed our economic system and our education system.

Now, with the bird flue, do we really want to follow their guidance again. Do we really want to put our lives in their hands. As for me, I don’t think so. It would appear to me that the experts are more dangerous than the diseases.

Not in the News

You can determine a lot of bias in the news, TV, Radio or printed by what is not being reported. My example which calls out loud to one and to all. A rare hurricane hit North Carolina and devastated the area. Huge sections of interstate 40 have been washed away. Power stations have been destroyed and people are living in tents. Yet, do you hear any news on it.

Naturally, if it were in California, as some disasters have occurred, or in New York… Yes it would be plastered all over the front page and it would be the leading stories on TV and radio. Indeed, the last hurricane to hit NY, NY carried front page news for weeks. Moreover, the government funds were rushed in there before the first 24 hours.

Recovery in the mountains of N. C. will take years. The support for the highways and bridges will have to be made before they actually start on the roadways and bridges. Just getting to these places is going to be a challenge. I would guess roads will have to be built to let the builders get to the sites.

I would guess that most of the power will be restored in most places in a month or two from now. I would suspect it will be longer to restore the houses. I mean these people did not build near the coast where they might expect a hurricane. They worst they are supposed to have is a snow storm or an occasional landslide from a rainstorm. Their insurance on the homes and businesses will likely not pay for much of it. I mean, who in N. C. would carry hurricane insurance.

The people in NY, NY built where they should expect storms, right on the coast. Moreover they did not need to deal with having to move megatons of dirt to rebuild the roads.

The people in NY, NY are pretty well back to normal thanks to moneys coming from Kansas and Oregon and the OK state. Pretty much from the rest of the country.

It is obvious why the news media pays so much attention to NY, NY instead of N. C. NY, NY is not only in their back yard, but they share common politics. I mean, do you suppose that the NY Times would have covered the Damage in NY, NY if it were a thousand miles away? Do you suppose they would have covered it if the area was solid red?

The proof is in the action. They spent a lot of news print on NY, NY and hardly a thing on N. C.

Well there is one other thing that might explain it. They might have had a problem getting the reporters into N. C. The reporters might have a problem phoning in the story. Also, they might have a problem finding a hotel room, or, for that matter a hotel.

A Question of Degree

The question has been asked why the dems lost if they cheated. They really should rather ask how much more Trump would have won had they not cheated.

If nothing else, Kamala should have claimed all the free campaigning she received from the media, you know, like the so-called comedy shows they put on late at night. You note that in at least one case, they were forced to provide equal time by the FCC. How many such cases were never uncovered though they were frequently as blatant, even in cases of so-called straight news.

Also, there were some cases that the dems were caught and there was retribution. How many such cases were not caught.

Kamala outright paid over a billion for the presidency. It wasn’t enough, even when you include the in-kind contributions. All in in all, it was likely double that, at least. By the way, in-kind contributions are considered illegal, that is to say cheating.

The Truth comes Out!!

Well some of it does. They say that 24 (or was it 26?) men were among those in the group that went into the capitol building, were FBI informants. It was just almost implied that they got their marching orders from the FBI. Therefore, I will infer that they did. It does make me wonder if Ray Epps was among the 24… informants. It does make me suspect that Epps was carrying a radio on him from which he received his instructions. Likely, a quarter mile away, an FBI agent was speaking the orders into a transmitter. Who knows, maybe it was Wray himself. If not, maybe by relay.

It does maybe make me suspect that Trump had proof and he told Wray about it. Well, I do suppose a bluff was enough. It sure would explain why he decided to get out of Dodge, er, D.C. for quickly. I don’t think he would mind being fired. On the other hand, being charged with inciting a riot might be a little too much. Oh. And did I mention a few hundred cases of false arrest.

Understand. I am not saying that that is what happened. However, it does fit so very well. It’s sort of like that missing piece to that 1500 piece jig-saw puzzle we’ve been looking for. You know, once we find it, the whole puzzle fits together so quickly and so well.

I Ain’t Buying It

The inspector general said there were no FBI agents in the crowd on Jan 6. My guess is, he wasn’t looking very hard.

This is what causes agencies to lose the respect of the public, when they lie and we know they are lying. Moreover, they know that we know. However, they still do it, knowing the Abe Lincoln corollary, you can fool some of the people some of the time. For the dems, that is enough.

A Fact Check???

Stumbled on an internet article. Seems like it was from someone from NBC. Doesn’t make a whole lot of difference. You go from one news agency to the next and most are about the same. I used to say that FOX was an exception but they seem to be falling in line as well.

At any rate, the article said it was a fact check on what JD Vance said about Kamala’s ideas on the second amendment. It said that Kamala did not say that she wanted to take everyone’s guns.

First, I personally heard her say that she wanted everyone to sell their guns back to the government involuntarily, not exactly, but you get the drift.

Second, she worships at the alter of the dems and she is for anything the dems want. The dems put in her mouth what they want her to say. It is obvious what the dems want to take all privately owned guns. Over the last 4 decades, they have been making it plain. However, let me interject, the dems want to be big brother. They want total control. They want to control what you do and what you think. If too many of us have guns, that might present a problem for them. Besides, if we have guns, we can protect ourselves from the illegal aliens and the dems don’t want that at all.

Finally, it is kind of like saying the sky is normally blue… with white or gray clouds. It just is. JD Vance was merely stating the obvious. We all know that if and when she occupies the Oval Office, she will make sure to appoint people to office that will make sure her desire is done. Her desire, is to destroy not only the second amendment, but all the others too. Then she will quickly do away with the Constitution, or at least move things in that direction as fast as she can.

We know that the dems want to do it, if for no other reason than they claim that Trump is trying to do it. It is common knowledge. When they want to do something, they claim the republicans are trying to do it. Look! They say the republicans are taking away our democracy, all the while they are destroying it. Can anyone point to one vote Kamala had. That is called government by appointment, not democracy. It was the leaders of the party that appointed Kamala, not the voters.

Worst of All, she will endeavor to outlaw pizza, even home made. And everyone knows that is just going too, too far!

Okay. I jest. It is a flippant remark. Still, with those dems, you might want to stockpile some pizza if she wins the election.

Lawyers Just Love to Ruin Things

Something on the news triggered an old memory. I think I was in the forth grade. That officially makes it old. One day they notified us that there would be teachers after school. They would check out sports equipment and games, checkers, chess, etc.

It was really neat. Many times we played softball. We spent a lot of time playing chess. The big thing, we never said that there was nothing to do. It was great. It was great for the kids, for the community and it was good for the teachers. They got paid for the overtime and I’d guess they could use it. Oh, by the way, it helped the parents who worked too. They had supervision for the kids until five.

Then, one day it stopped, as fast as it started. It seems someone got hurt and the parents sued the school. I didn’t know everything about it. Being a forth grader, I wouldn’t have understood it if I did. However, I do know that they fenced in the school and we were not allowed on the playground after hours.

Looking back over it, I can only speculate. Maybe the kid did get hurt. Maybe he just sprang his ankle. Even if he did break a bone, most kids do break a bone or two by the time they reach high school. I did. Most of my friends got hurt and had to have medical attention. Better that it be somewhere where there is adult supervision.

Well, regardless, that law suit shut down the whole thing. My guess is that whoever sued, sued for a million and settled for a hundred thousand. Better than going to court. Even when you win these days you lose. Lots of legal costs. Expensive lawyers. Frequently, the insurance company says, take the settlement or they won’t pay. So, even when you’re in the right, you end up paying through the nose.

At any rate, the lawyer won. He ruined things, made his couple of few grand, and us kids, we had no recourse but to complain that there was nothing to do.

Do you suppose the lawyers that make laws, would make a few that would protect the schools with after hour programs. Nope. That’s not going to happen! Those lawyers make the laws for the lawyers, not for us, the folks. If they came up with laws like that, it would eat into their legal fees.
