Heather Cox Richardson for the Left, new to me but apparently has a big following

 I hope I will get back to the previous post and just fill in a desription of what the two links are about, but for now I'm all cuahgt up in a talk I've been listening to  by a leftist historian, Heather Cox Richardson, about the supposed problems and illegalisties of Elon Musk's investigations into government overspending that she is trying to make out to be something else.

I've listened to the first half of her talk twice now and will problably listen a third time, and I still have to hear it all to the end.  And I've had to pray a lot for understanding of what she is doing because it's pretty confusing at first.    the usual leftist falsehoods but something worse than that even that's hard to pin down.  Prayer is the only way to begin to get a handle on this sort of thing and God has been giving me the ability to see some things I'd otehrwise miss.l  It's subtle, it's sophisticated, but it's deception at a high level.

\First  claims that Trump is not being transparent, while according to her Bidcen was, which is allreadye enough get your eyes rolling out onto the floor.  then she says what is going on with Elon Musk's investigations is a coup.  We're living through a coup she says.   She insinuates that Musk is actually the power behind Trump rather than the other way around.  trump was elected partly on the money Musk donated to the campaign.  Huh?   No, trump was elected on his policies.  And Musk joined the team because he likes trump's policies.  And yes Musk does have authorization to do what he's doing, which Richardson shays he does not hae.  He has the authority of an appointment by tgrump to investigated how the government's money is psent, and he has top securtyy clearance too.   Later ehshe intones the refrain we keep heraing from the left that we did not elect Musk.  Well, no, nor died we elect any of the cabinet heads trump has put in place, they are all appointees by tgrump.  In fact I believe secretary of defense is supposed to be a citizen and ot affiliated with the military, according to some protocol someone read on the radio recently.    The President can appoint whomever he likes to these positions, though he needs Congress to give their avdvice and consent. 

So eshe pretencds that it's Musk who is running the new governmetn, and even pretends that Trump is cognitively compromised in the way Biden was understood to be while of course Biden was really not deficient at all.  Hard to believe anyone would still be trying to get away with that one, but she is.   So it's really Musk who is in charge acording to her and he's now embedded in the bowels of the government as she puts it later in the talk, apparently doing something unconstititutional although since nothing she says is backed up by facts how it's unconstitituional is juist another vague insinuation we're supposed to believe without needing evidence.

Then she tries to make it all aout racism and bigotry on the part of MAGA Republicans.  The fact is that it's always been the Democrats who have been the racists and the bigots while it was the Republicans who initiated the Civil ights laws.   of course she is now muddling it all together with LGBTQ stuff, wokeism gender identity and women's rights as if the Republicans oppose all thse things as one lump just because they're bigots an don't like their power being shared with others or some such evil idea.  But the fact is that it was the Republicans who championed civil ritghts for blacks,and the Decmocrats who fought it.  All the rest was more or less invented by the Democrats following Marxism, even feminism, which has its legitimate side but also a Marxist twisting.  Wokeism and gentder identity exdcept fo rhte basic idea that all individuals should share in basic human freedoms, is all a form of oppression against traidtional Americans.  She even throws religious rights into this as if Republicans are against religious rights.  Where she could be getting that I hve no idea ubut ofr sure thatone is the target of the Left and the Right is always the defender of Religious rights.

It's hard to believe but she even continues the lies about trump saying himself that he plans to be a dictator.  Yikes this is a legitimate historian who can't tell a joke from a real statement, and can't understand that even if he did intend to be a dictator he wouldn't say so?  What is the matter with these people?   And even the lie about how he mocked a disabled man, which was shown to be false in  a series of video sthat show trump mocking many people in exactly the same way who wern't disablesd, showing that this mocking gesture he makes is about things the people say, and has nothing whatever to do with this one man's disability.  but this supposed historian goes right ahwad and pushes the same old lie.  

She blurs things together in a very confusing way, like treating FDR and EWisenhower as sharing the same vision.   All this needs more study and more unpacking but I think I'll stop here for now. 

She objects to the plan to eliminate the Department of Education, mentioning thar  it funds Special Needs programs and gives money to poor schools.  Musk and company haven't even got around to that department yet but I have no reason to think they won't deal with it program by program as they are doing with the USAID department or whatever it should be called.  If itgs doing some good work theyn there are way s to preservwe that good work while doing away with the department itself.  It can be moved to another department at least, or so I woulde guess.  Special Needs I'm thinking of tin this case.  Or maybe it can be handled by the states as education always used to be anyway before the Department of education ws created.  It was crdated, by the way in nineteen eighty one.  Some seem to think we've always had it but now it is a late creatuion and things have been going downhill ever since.  We used to have a very high randiking in education and now we're at some very low point.  that's because the department is promoting indoctrination rather than education and other extraneous things.  our high rnding came when we were under state management for educfation.  Bringing it back could only be a good thing.    as for funding poor schools, what eh poor people have needed for years has been fought by the Left and the teacher's union under the department of education, which is school choice vouchers.    they couldn't care less about deducating our children.  It's all about power.

then she goes on to mention grants for nursing homes.  She first says that we don't know if this has been targedted for elimnination or not but she goes on to acts as it if has been.  it probably is not targeted or if it is in the wrong department it can be moved, but she'sd apparently rather insinuate tht rump wasnt ot get rigd of it though there isn't the lsightest reason to think so at this point an no move has been made in that direction.  She just likes to insinuate the most evil thing she can think of.

Throughout this talk it's a lot of insinuation and just about no substance at all, which is standard for the Left.  She doesnt' illoustrate or edefine anything she labels, she just labels and lets it stand withou clarification.  transparency, what does that mean?  Coup?  well finally she says it's a coup because Musk is in charge, not trump.  But his is a lie.   As for what Musk and his team are trying to do she never once mentions the spending fraud they have already uneartherd.  No subjstance whatever.  Just all aboutg wherther they ahve a right to be there or nortt. 'm sure they do but they hmay have to face a weaponized court first.   

to get some idea of the substance of what she's leaving out by way of substance go listen to the first part of the interview of Joe Rogan, no of Bret Weinstein by Joe Rogan at the link in the previous post.   Rogan spells out the wasteful spening  Musk's team has uncovered, which of course richardson doesn't mention at all.

Actaully I suppose she means to be identifying it when she talks about all those categories she says republicans hate because they benefit groups republicans don't like.  Oh right, that's what she's doing.   it's because theyse probtgrams benefit  "those people" that are idsliked by Republicans that they are being targeted.  Oh right.   Oh this is evil.

that's what she does with DEI.  It's not that it's racist and unconstitutional, it's just that Republicans are bigotd against certain classes of people these DEI programs are designed to benefit.  I't s not that DEI puts incompetent people where we need the highest quality of worker, which puts the whole nation in jeaopardy, no, it's just bigotry.  

It's not that hiring people for a job such as air traffic comntroller requires a high lefvel of skill which means that hiring a person for any other quality than that skill is likely to produce shoddy work, no, it's just bigoty.    So we are having all these plan crashes, and whle it MAY not be for this reason,k it's something we shoulde expect could very well happen as a result of DEI.

cluding Airline mechanics.  Which is why things are falling off airplanes too.

And the fire that destroyed so much of the best parts of Los Angeles could vey well be the result of decisions made on a similar basic, for reasons extraneous to the need for the best possible management of the threat of fire to the city.   this includes personnel schosen for jobs they are not qualified enough for, but also decisions made to protect engdangedered species without regard to the imapact on the human population.

this is fantasy thinking where praftical thinking is needed,k and it's fantasy thinking the Left does best.  they think ideologically and it is dangerous.

Monday.  The only thing she's said that I also wonder about is how they can do anything about money that has been appropriated by Congress.  but I don't know that they are doing anything about it anyway.  As I've understood it they are tasked with identifying what is condsidered to be wasteful and bringing that to Trump's attention, at which point he and his consultants will decide what to do about it.  That's how I've understood it.  So her freakout about how they are cutting off money may not have anything to support it.  but again I don't know.  She is using a lot of speculative language howere, like even saying she doesn't know if grants for nursing homes will be affected, althoygh she goes right on to act as if they are being taken away.  

I think I forgot to mention above that among her long list of lies or errors or whtever they are she also said the reagan tax cuts caused a deficit in the economy, when in fact they caused the tax reveneue to double, and this is something you can find at IRS, it's no made up like most of her stuff is.

Her attack on elon Musk is hard to stomach.  the man doesn't need any money so the idea that he has any interet in lining his own pockets through this work is craxy.  In fact I would lithink it could be libel worthy.  the one thing I've learned abourt musk in the last year or so since I startedllistening to interviews with him is that he is genuinely concerned about humanity, about Western civilization and about America.  He wants to help and he uses his money to help.  tesla is to help with the global warming problem.  The space X program is to provide an escape from an uninhabitable earth at some time in the futture.  Musk is a humanitarian in everything he does, and I hate to see him slandered the way this woman is doing.    trump too is President MONSTLY for the same kind of reasons.  He doesn't need the abuse he's been getting, same as Musk doesnt need it.  Neither of them has to do any of this.  they are very rich men who could spend the remainder of their lives in luxurious comfort, but they ahve chosen to be public servancts.  tgrump enjoys the limelight and the contact with people too, but I do think his main reason for being President or wanting to be is patriotism, humanitarianism, and the knowledge that he knows how to do it in a way others just don't.

It's sad, as I say over and over again, that it's just about impossible to get anyone on the left to consider any of this.  I've even discovered that I can provide actual evidence and it doesn't make a dent.  Prove that Trump did not say that Neo Nazis are fine people just by pointing a person to listen to the entire speech he made wherein he clearly denounced the Neo Nazis.  You'd think that would be convincing proof that the media are lying to us, but no, somehow some on the left are able to brush that off, although there are others who have seen what it means and left the party so it's certainly not everyone.   

Continuing on with this woman's talk.  Smearing trump again.  More people voted for someone else than voted for trump, she says?  Really?  golly gosh I thought it was pretty cler hat he ot the popular vote this time.  Why is she lyin about this?   And she suggests, insinuates, that he decided not to hold the inauguration outside because he wasn't going to get the numbers he wanted in the crowd.  This is so sleazy it is hard for me to avoid using some prettry hard language.   It wasn't trump's idea to move inside, lady, oh, woman, and it was very clear that it ws first bvecause the weather was so bad.  One President, I forget who, way back there in the ineteenth centuiry aI believe, died of pneumonia a week aftger he'd stood in the cold to deliver his inaugularation speecyh.   The weather was a real factor.  b ut there was a seconary fact tor that wasn't ever made official but that many suspected, buwhich ws tha security would be a lot easier to maintain in side the building, and security with a President who has been targeted twice for assassination is a real issue.   

I'm certinly in favor of her final advice to make sure we contact our representatives about wshat is going on and do it a lot, and that means us trump supproters.    

this idea that "Musk is in control of the US Governmetn" is just plain instance.  Insance.  She wousounds like a  a paranoid schizophrenic when she says that.  this is absolutely raving bonkers insane.  

Yes, sure people who have a lot of power, which apparently Musk an his team have been given, could do a lot of damage if they were dso inclined.  What is the point of saying that.  Only to suggest to the gullible that they have such motives.  But they were aponjted by trumpf ro a particular task for which they are well qualified and morally worthy.  they also have top security clearance.  What is your problem.

I'm down to the end of her talk and wow is she a pro government loon.  She says the Deep State otherwise known to us on the righrt as the Swamp is really just good people drying to the best for all us Americans, but that Maga has the wrong idea that they are only supporting some group of people we don't identify with.  good grief this is nuts.   the swamp is ufrthering Marxism.  Marxism is antiAmerican and anti humane for that matter.  She is obviously Marxist whether ehse knows it or not and maybe she does know it.  I ahaven't decided if I think she's a clever deceiver or just a lunatic or deceived her self.   But everything she'[s said in this talk is false.  Or ninety nine and half percent of it is.  And I can't think of what part might be true at this point.  It's all false and if she isn'[t just lying she should do a lot more to muster her evidence because she has none and if she tried she'[d soo nfind that out.   Evidedence is not the strong suit of the left.    

She said ot one thing that's true.  That's the bottom line.

Oh now she'[s wrapping up and guess what, although she said jothing has as yet been done to change the status of the grants for nursing homes she's now saying we are now realizing tht THEY ARE CUTTING all these things we depend on and nursing homes is among them.  Remember, I don't ieven think  anything has been cut yet at all, they are jyust in the information gathering phase and nothing has been cut.  that's up to Trump, not up to Elon Musk and his team.     this woman is dangerous.

She has put out a piece of pure misinformation.  I don't think people who do this should be cancelled.  What I think is that they should be sued for defamation.

Oh sorry, I just keep finding more insanity to mention.   she thinks that it's accumulating tax dollars that '"creates welath for all of us?"  What on earth?  What planet does she live on?  Wealth is created by work, by buiklding businesses,k by establishing new businesses.  tax moneyu is one of the fruits of it but the wealth is in the money earned and the ability to buy more, not in taxes.l  Taxes create nothing for anyohnje.  Taxes go to provide , legitimately provide, for the necessary infrastructure and communal needs of the nation, NOT FOR WELFARE PROGRAMS although she keeps trying to say it does.     All this needs to be rethought but it will be a long time before it is done.  Oh she also thinks Soc ial Security is going to be cut?  No, the problem with Social Security is that it's running out of money.  It's going to end up cutting itself if something isn't done about it.   Cutting taxes to free up busineses to exapand and increase employees and so on, along with cutting regulations that strangle such enterprises, is how welath is created in the short run.   She thinks like a Marxist, everything is upside downan dand backwards in the Marxist mind.  

The President is dotty, she says, just doing the usual Alinsky rule of tgaking what is true about the Left and projecting it upon the Right, standard playbook there and she does it a lot in this talk, anyway he's dotty and ther's theis Rogue foreigner in chartge of the government.  again this sounds like a paranoid schizophrenic talking.  Where on earth is she getting such a wacko idea.  He's an appointee of trump's.  the young students working under him and working for him.  They are investigating how money is spent by the government.  They are not cutting anything.  They are not in charge of anything.  they are doing a job as tasked by the President who is far from dotty.  good grief.

With people like this woman against us it is clear we can't let up on our constant vigilance and especially constant prayer.  Prayer prayer and more prayer.  Only god can deal with the mess we're in still despite all the good things that have happened with trump's win.   It's hard to believe people could be so misled but obviously they are.  Half the country still it seems, although some have come over to our side on at least some of the issues.   this is scary stuff.   

Yes they say the same sort of thing.  Burt the evidence is not on their side.  If they ever bothered to look at the evidence.  Which they don't.

No .  No, Trump has not been "talking to El Salvador" about taking Emrican prisoners.  No he has not.  He knows that is not constitutionally possible.  El Salvador offerdered but trump isn't accepting.  but this woman acts as if hes considering it.  She needs to be ansswered, corrected, over and over and over again.  

taxes create wealth?  I'm flabbergasted.  

I couldn't get the URL to this talk and then I just now lost the video and havn'et found it again yet, but another one came up in which she is talking about the same general stuff, how Elon Musk is supposedly in charge ofthings now and he's accessing our personal information, which isn't ihis aim at all and the whole idea is ridiculsou.  yes I'm sure it's available to him but that isn't what he's after and he has no interest in getting our personal stuff.  Anyone who has access to these things has that access and we trust them not to make bad use of it so why is it different with Musk for some reason.  He has this task legitimately, appointed him ty trump, there is no reason to treat him as this woman does as somewhow not trustworthy the way we'd assume anyone given this sort of power is presumed to be trustworthy.      Again she says money is being withheld or some su ch.  Is it really?  I thought they were to investigate, not change anything.    Well, I hope I'll hear from some other source soon what is true about that aspect of things.

Then she says this other absurd thing again.  Supposedoly we MAGA people hate governmetn because it's being manipulated by women and colored people and black people.  this is screamingly insane, just so crazy it's hard to sit still.  and kep typing.   Conservative thinking has always opposed Big govwernemtn.  It is understood to be contrary to the vision of the American Founders.  Governm,ent was to be limited to some very clearly defined areas of national need, like roads and power and thtsat sort of thing.  there's a ta  no, it's an interview with the economist Milton Friedman from back int eh Nineties where he is asked what departments of government he'd like to see eliminated and which he'd like to keep.  He identifies quit a long list he things ks should go that include th Deparment of Education, but of course wants to keep defense and trtansfportation and all those things.  I'll trye to get hold of that URL.   Anyway Richardson is pushing a false line here, as she is with everything else she says.  Smearing us as bigots as usual.  I would LOVE to see these people sued, the way Nicholas Sandman sued his  smearers and won.  

Later still.   Well I need to bring this to an end but now I'm into this other video of Heather C Richardson and tempted to take that one apart line by line too, which would drive me to insanity and mean I'd never get anything lse done so for now I guess I'll put it off at least.   

However, I should note here that I did find out that the Musk team is in fact cutting expenses in some areas, not clear which at this point but they aren't just auditing the records as I'd thought, they are actively following some guideleines for cucting some of the excesses, frauds abuses corruptions, that they are finding.  And USAID in particular is chock full of those.  Of course Heather doesn't think so, she thinkis it's all hunky dory good stuff to provide aid to disadvantaed countries and benefit americans by improved relations with them and so on and so forth.   tgoo much to try to sort out here.

She keeps saying such tempting absurdities though.  Just now I heard her say that there's no essential difference between a republic and a Democracy, just like a golden retriever versus a something else, spaniel maybe I don't remember.    Oh brother.  

Most of what she says is just plain false, some weird misdefinition of conservative categories in particular, but also just plain lies like her continuation of the idea that trump mocked a disabled man for his disability or that he really did say he really did intend to become a dictator.  How cfan you talk to someone who hangs on to such misinformation?      but it it does need to be said that there are legitimate differences between left and right that could always be talked about sensibly I would assume if al lt this extraneous craziness were done asway with.   

Anyway.

Stop stop stop.

 

Trump Dismantles DEI | Glenn Loury & John McWhorter | The Glenn Show

Joe Rogan Experience #2269 - Bret Weinstein

A Fatal Flaw in the MAGA Project I Fear

 Only Chrisitians would agree with me about this, and not all of them I suppose although they  should.  America was great because America was Christian.  Ameria was prosperous and peaceful and a force for good in the world because America was Chrsitian.  Over the decades some have worked hard to prove that this isn't the case, tht our heritage is not from the bible as much as from Greece and Rome, but it isn't so.  It's a popular idea, probably the j dominant idea, but it isn't so.

The episode of Uncommon Knowledge which I've mentioned more than oncde here, with Steven Meyer, Douglass Murray and tom Holland, gets this across very well.  Tom Holland is not a Christian but wrote a book on his researches into the philosophical and cultural origins of America and concluded that America is definitely dominated by Christianity.  He said he discovered that although he had thought the main influence was Greece and Rome, when he compared their morality to what most American live by, insluding himslef, our morality is definitly Christian and not Greek or Roman.  We are all cultural Christians ven now after decades of efforts to destroy that influence.

Aann Hirsi Ali is a woman from Somalia who started out as a member of the New Atheists, with Christopher Hitchens and richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, but recently she converte to Christianity, and has recognized that this culture can't be transplanted anywhere else because it's a creation of the Christian mindset and if other cultures are gased on any other moral foundation the culture just won't fit and there is no way to simply teach them our democratic ways, or as Ayaan says, even our gadgets which came out of our Christian mindset.  America is Christian through and through, and although we weould very much like to transmit it to other nations so that they could be prosposperour too, it just never works .  Their mindset is just not compatible with it.

So if we lose our Christian foundations we are not going to remain CAmerica for long.  And unfortunately that foundation is not accepted these days except by those who are active Christians, who are a dwindling number.  We have foces now that work actively against the original greatness of America.  Trump has a solid sense for the most part of what needs to be done operationally to return the country to our former greatness, but I fear he's leaving out the essence of it.  this in spite of the fact that it is now more acceptable to affirm a Christian midset than it has been for many years, and he too supports it.

But what I'm thinking of is that outrageous speech by the Bishop of the National Cathedral that siaimed to humiliate GTrump.   I'm also thinkin g of the many ecumenical prayers that are held in Washington D. DcC. in spipusupport of the gvovernment.  Ecumenical prayers, meaning prayers shared with representabtive of all sorts of religions that are at aodds with the God of the Biblbele  .  God regards these as idolatry and they work to destroy the nation rather than to support it .  I've said this in many posts in the past.  The prayer meeting after nine eleven was horrific as it included a Muslims Imama of all things to pray for the country.  Unbleievers think nothing of this, and too many supposed Christians sondon't seem to know what's wrong with it either.  Really three is only one true Christianity and it is made up of those who believe that Christiane died for our sins and rose from the dead to save us.   By that standard Judaism doesn'[t qualify either .  Native Indian reliegion doesn't qualify.  Wicca doesn't qualify.  even Catholicism doesn't qualify because they don't rest in that faith for salvation but alddd all kins of pagan superstittions into tht emix and even say we can't be certain about how to be saved.  There is only one true Christianity that God would recognize and honor and bless the ntion for following.  The original thirteen colonies all shared it.  Except Maryland.   We've lost it.  

We even have Native Americans and Wiccans praying to open Congress.  this is an abomination to God.  As long as this keepxs up there is no way we will vbe able to hol

Still Having a Hard Time with the Great American Political Divide

 Sure, I'd like to be able to have effective discussion s with liberals, give and take in which we don't say insulting things, or try very hard not to, but earnestly try to muster the evidence to defend what we think is the truth.   We average peopole don't do much to hold on to evidence unfortunately.  I don't.  I wish I had it when I need it, I know it's out there somewhere because I heard it, but I didn't do anything to keep track of where I heard it or where to find it.  My impression is that in gerneral liberals are far worse about evidence, trusting in narrative alone.  Since I can prove that many of their narratives are founded on lies I know this is obviously a bad policity but they aren't going to give up the habit easily.

Yes I wish it were possible to have such discussions but for the most part it just isn't.  I know some take the attidue that there's no point in even bothering to tell a liberal what we think because it doesna't todo any bgood.  I think sometimes this mayb e sjustified that somethingmes it's just a cop out.  that is, I defend it as the right attitude when you are talking abotu family members and very close long time friends where the relationship is more important than the argument.  Or a spoiuse in particular.  Yes.   But when yoyu are talking about mere acquaintances you don't have to deal with every day I think it is porobably a cop out to avoid saying what needs to be said in the face of some liberal assertion said in a publig c place in particular and certinly if it's on social media.  It begs to be answered.  Even if it would do no good with that particular person, there are other people listening and they need to hear it.

Then smetimes, after years of trying or years of avoiding discussing such things with a friend, to the point that there's very little of the friendhip left to be shared anyway becauase both of you are heavily involved in the political world and care most about that and not that much about the ordinarly things of life that are all that's left to talk about when you are avoiding the big issues...  THEN , I'm beginning to think anyway,  it's worth making it clear that you find the friend's opinion so odious and evil, even if you do ascribe it to deception and not to malice, I mean the friend's being deceieved of course, that it is likely a good think to say you so abhor and condemp the opinion that you are willuing to give up the friendship until the friend at least shows an interest in hearing something of the other point of view.    

That's hat I'm thinking at the moment.

Every day I'm assaulted by the liberal point of view on the internet or on the radio where I listen to conservative tgalk shows but the station is owned by an alphabet news compoany that inserts something into every news report that insinuates wrongdoing by trump or conservatives.  It's wearing and depressing and all the more so knowing that librals listening to the same stuff don't notice it at all and have no idea at all how conservatives are being persecuted every day by the liberal powers that be.  

\\They don't notice that this is not news reporting but opinionating, something supposedly assiduously avoided by true journalists.  On the left it isn't avoidied.  they seem to go out of their way to insert a denigraintng or insinuating word into a report.   If talkinga bout trump's objection to how a \n election was conducted, they ave to insert the word "unfounded" or "false" to describe his point of view.  this is an egreegious violating on of the tenets of journalism as I always understood to be the case.      

Otherwise they just uauote the nastiest assessment by a leftist they can find to air in the report.   Oinion or not it's treated as valid commentary, even as evidence, and listening liberals just take it tstraight, see no problem at all, and have their own opinions shaped without their being aware of it.

this is going to ocontinue throughout trump's presidency I'm sure.   Sincw prayer helped a lot during the election phase it's clear we need to keep praying our hearts out that people on the left will continuie to to walk e up and see the light and embrace the real truth instead of their delusional truth.

Evil for Good and Good for Evil As Usual

 Jusy heard trump denounced as so abolutely immoral we who support him are obviously held in pretty low esteem even if that part wasn't said.

the fact of the matter is, as I try to say in the latest addition to my previous post, that Trump is the best thing that ever happened to America, will work to restore everything that is right and good to our nation and get ride of the evil and corrupt influences we've been laboring under for the last few years, and really, decades.

How this complete reversal of the truth could eeven be possible is hard to grasp.  

A Podcast on the J7 Miscarriage of Justice among so many others

I'm adding this late on Monday the 27th.  The post below is terribly garbled because it is hard to go back and correct things and get it right since my eyes are so bad and I don't think I'm up to making it any berter at this point.  There is a URL in there to the mentioned podcast but you have to move th cursor arouhjd a bit to fdind it.  Sinc3e capturing a URL is so difficult for me I'm not going to try getting hold of it again.  the podcast is pretty good at laying out the terrible injuistice of the January sixth arrests and imprisonments, focusing mostly on clips from tucker Carlson's interview with Julie Kelly who did thorough research into the revent despite the destruction of many documents and fvideos by the authorities that most probably contradict the accepted narative about its being an insurrection.    The people were false imprisoned.  Even those who did act violently have already served sentences longer than usually given for the kind of eoffense they are charged with.  Trump was right to pardon them all and now we hope that this will all be exposed for the horrific miscarriage of justice and violation of the Constitutjional rights of ordinary American citizens that it really is.  Tucker Carlso entire interview with Kelly shoyuld be out there somewhere too, and his documentary as well.

The sad sad thing about all this is how effective the left has been at vilifying their political opponents with the mjoral and criminal charges they themselves are guilty of.  Trump is completely innocent of just about everything he's been accused of, the whole thing is made up from corrupted evil imaginations, as are all the charges brought against innocent conservativve American Citizens.   We hope for trump's Presidency to bring all this to light and finally right the wrongs.  But it's going ot be a tough abattle and we may not be able to win it completely although God has been mer ific tgo us in permitting us a lot of righting of wrongs alreadyu.

Tehydn't want to know anything about the other side of the issues.  They are completely confvinced by the evil propaganda they've been hearing for so many years that trump is the evil party and they just have no patience for half a minute with anything that purporsts to show them they are wrong.  There is no way to fight such an attitude.  You can't make someone attend to information they've alraedy prejudged as fase.     

I'm sglad so man;y have had their eyes opened but there are some who are just so dug in to their false view of it all there is no ophope for it I'm afraid.   Everthing tgrump has done in his fist days in office is with the intent and very likely the soon achievement of retroing America to some semblance of our former righteous standing in the rworld.  

Sad tothink some will never get the message and that we have to continue to suffer from the anger, the misplaced anger of people who are so egregiously misled as to continue to support an evil and corrupt political party.

ddedater:  I did find Julie Kelly on Yo

u tubefter

 all.  I put in Julie Kelly J7 and found a discussion of a documentary by tucker Carlson about J7.

ucker & Julie Kelly Expose the Truth Behind the J6 Coverup as Wray Resigns!

And now I see I've completely messed up the paragraphing on this post.   Sorry about that.  I'll try to fix it later if I can.

As usual I'm having a hard time copying out the URL to a video about the documentary and I can't even read the title on the screen very well but it's something like Julie Kelly Exposes the .....ime Before  or something like thatAs

 Yesterday i was able to find maybe dozens of interviews of Julyie   Julie Kelly at You Tube.  today I can't find one.  I've tried every sayway I can think of to bring them up if they are there and nothing comes up.   So I can only conclude that they've been cnsored byt he Lefty management of You Tube for he usual political reasons.  She wrote a book about the January Sixth event that is propagandistially called an insurrection in which she showed through her own research that the whole thing was a setup.  Gosh imagine that.  I knew that, most on my side knew that, but half he country jut bought tuhe usual fake news and probably wouldn't even hear about this book anyway.  It takes a little work if you want to avoid bing deceived these days, but few have the motivation.  but to b fair they are used to trusting their sources and haven't yet learned that they aren't to be trusted.   

We need some more Elon Musks to buy up all these raitorous social media sites.

Sane Liberals Take on Some of Trump's Executive Orders

BeLater:  added some paragraphs at the end.

 of recent events, particularly of course the election and inauguation of Trump, I'm back to appreciating Bret and Heather of Dark Horse Podcast, which isn't so much the case when they are into their biological evolutaionary focus.  They are refresingly articulate and sane on the cultural and politial issues of the day, and I paritcularly enoyed the latest pocast 261, in which they give their reactions to some of Trump's executive orders.

 ThI will note, however, that once again Bret defends his view of MAGA as being better if you leave off the final A since he belevies that we can't say America was ever great when some people didn't get to benefit from that greatness, or to put it another way, it wasn't great for these other people.  Blacks and Native Americans.  And again I have to object tht ameria is great completely irresxpective of any people group or individual experienc3we within init and if we don't always keep that in mind we miss the whole point of what America is and why it was known to be the great force for good in the world up until the left took over a few decades ago anyway, and in a certain sense even in spit ofof their efforts to destroy it.

Tht said, I like their take on the executive orders and on Trump's position to be perhaps the best President we've ever had which many on the right alwaready think anyway.  Bret points out that Trump has a real affinity for the ordinary American citizen, seems to really care about us all and ants our good opinion far more than the good opinion of anyone in power.  He's quite right about that.  It was Trump who went to North Caronilna and talked to the people displaced by hurricane Helene, while Biden and Harrise were off doing other things.  it was tTrump who got Musk to bring in his starlink system to provide communication for the people there that had been lost because of the hurricantne.  And trump just yesterday visited North Caronlina gain to find out that nothing had been done to improve their istuation, always on the ground talking to the people themselves who are suffering from loss.  It's the same with his visit to MacDonald's to make and serve friesto the people driving through.  The Left is absolutely deaf to the real Trump and why he appeals to ordinary people even as a separate thing from his policies which are also attracive to the ordinary citizen.    So I'm glad bret recognizes that.

I also agree with his idea that instead of renaming the Gulf of Mexico th Gulf of America it should be renamed the Gulf of the Americas.  I like thta a lot.  I was uncomfortable with his renaming the Gulf at all.  There's just no need that I can see.  It isn't harming us in any way to be called the Gulf of Mexico, it's just a geographic designantion.    Oh well.  Anyway I'd really like to see Trump change his mind and take Bret's suggestion and rename it again.

In general I hate the renaming of anything.  It's hard on our poor heads to hve to remember that the new name refers to the same place we knew iunder the old name.  that goes for all the renaming of foreign places such as Beijing for Peking an Mumbai for Bombay.  It's like they just create a whole new world in which it's hard to locate anything we once3 had at least some idea was in a certain place and had a certain character.  Mumbai just sounds like it must be some other city than bombay.  Same iwith Beijing.  the people who do this renaming have no feeling at all for human experience.  unch of conceited bureaucrats.

\\Anyway, there is such a thing as a sane liberal.  Unfortunately it's a liberal who has gone to the trouble to investigate the issues, and since most of them don't, but just go on following the same path laid out by the same leftist day after day there aren't many sane liberals yet.  Oh but God did answer prayers that I for one sent up for more liberals to come over to vote for trump, so there are quite a few , enough for that purpose anyway.  Still, we need a lot more.  

HHeather says she understands the conservative point of view on the environment to be that human beings have the right to do with the creatures of the world whatever we want to do and she's opposed to that idea.  Well, I'm opposed to it also at least the way she understands it,   I never liked Rush Limbaugh's way of mocking the tree hugers as he described them and all that.  I agreed with him that they go way too far, an as Bret and Heather seem also to agree decisions about the environment should be in the service not only of protecting the environment burt doing it in a way that promotes human flourishing.  Too much of the time it seems the decisions made about the environment are made without the slightest regard for the w3ellbeing of humanity, sometimes even with the attitude that we are less important than the creature theyh want to protect.  So what if our cities burn down because we no longer cleared away the flammable underbrush in the forests that provide shelter and habitat for some woodland creatures.  So what if the Pacific Palisades burnes to the ground because there is no water in the reservoirs because somehow or other it was necessary to save a particular kind of fish.  

OK so saving tghe fish may be done in a way that is good for humanity too, but it doesn't seem to have ben done that way in this wdase.  OK so if you clear all th brush away you may inadvertently set up the conditions for a worse fire hazard over time.  OK.  Obviously there is a lot to be taken into account, but clearly none of that is being dtaken into accou ntnt.  The town of Paradise in northern California burned down because of lawas against clearing away the underbrush from the forest, and it looks like Pacific Palisades burned down for a similar reason.  

So a Far more complex way of thinkiing about all this needs to be brought to bear and the current environmental laws have to go.    Bur I want to point out that although there may be those in the conservative camp, and Rush Limbaugh may have been one of them, who defend human rights to the absolute exclusion of any concern for what we do thte enivornment in our promjects to sustain our own wellbeing, but I take the biblical point of view and I would think many other conservatives do altdo, which is that our mandate to have charge over all the earth as given by god is certainly no mandate toe destroy it willy nilly as we ravage it for whatever we think we need.   The mandate is a charge to take care of the earth, to husband it to use the oldfashioned word for it.  dDomsticating the animals and the edibles are part of the mandate.  Learning to grow food in the best ways for the best purposes;  making gardens where there is unruly wild vegetabition is another part of it.  The Japanese in particular seem to have taken that part of the creation madate particularly seriously and spend a lot of effort on creating vbeautiful gardens.     

Then they come to the topic of energy production ahnd the damage the windmills are doing to wildlife near the seashore.  I'm so glad thais is getting addressed.  it's not only at the seashore howevewr but everwhere that the windmills are a blight, not only not producing enough energy to be woth the building of them, but ablight on the landsacape, and a danger to birds wherever they are located.  What people don't hear about is that teams of people are required to drive to the windmill sites to pick up truckloads frull of dead birds on a regular basis.  Nobody wants to criticize this supposed better alternative to fossil fuel but the fact is that it's far worse in a million ways.   And those solar panels that lie flat on the ground, sayi n the Jojave deservt, also kill birds by radiating the heat of the sun back into eh sky so that when birds fly over them they are instantly cooked to death.   These supposedly better alternatives are a failed experiemtn that needs to be brought to a halt immediately wherever they are installed.    Oh, I think solare panels built inon housese may be afe and OK, not totally sure but I think maybe.  Still, Iv'e seen designs that depends completely on harnessing passive heat that work fvery well, houses designed to absord heat into brick walls where it is stored for long periods of time for instance.  The house has to be designed with the position of the sun in mind from every angle so that it heats only what you want hheated and stored up while lett ing the rest of the house be col.  Anyway there are other ways tof thinking about the energy problem that need to be considered.

OK there are also problems with drill baby drill but to some extent we do try to take that into account and for now it is probably better to go with this and dismantle the alternatieves

e GOAT? The 261st Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying but of course with the idea that the whole project needs to be improved for the sake of the enirvonemtn though it can't be given up at the moment.
