THE EXASPERATED AMERICAN – VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

Wednesday, May 11th, 2022

 

The Exasperated American

 Will the voters channel their furor at this regime of lies into an unprecedented turnout at the polls in
November ?
By Victor Davis Hanson   May 9, 2022

A large majority of Americans now have no confidence in Joe Biden and his administration, which often polls below 40 percent, with negatives nearing 60 percent.

Despite the 15-month catastrophe of his regime, the level of his own unpopularity remains understandable but still remarkable. After all, in 2020 voters already knew well of his cognitive deficits and the radicalism of his agenda. They saw both clearly starting in 2019 and during the 2020 Democratic primaries, the primary debates, and the general election.

So what did Biden’s voters imagine would happen when a cognitively challenged president, controlled by hard-Left subordinates, entered office—other than what he has done?

VIDEO-RONALD REAGAN SPEECH 1966

Tuesday, April 19th, 2022

Thanks to Gary Kanady for sharing with us his comments re the historical background of the conservative positions starting with this amazing speech that Ronald Reagan gave in 1966 ( see  youtube link below Gary’s comments)  Nancy 

 

Every day we’re being bombarded by new political tactics, hidden enemies, and false friends, right? Nope, there’s not much happening these days that we haven’t been warned about, as the attached video shows. This 1966 speech could have been given yesterday, with the figures adjusted for inflation, and it would have made perfect sense.

 Let me set the stage. The 1954 Brown V Board of Election case, in which the U.S. Supreme Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for students of different races to be unconstitutional, was decided in the Spring of my sophomore year in high school. We integrated our high school the next fall. I entered the Navy in 1960. My starting salary for the year was $4,800. One of my first goals was to get to $10,000 a year. Two years after that, I was patrolling in a submarine three miles off the coast of North Vietnam. That year, the Supreme Court banned prayer in schools. Two years later Ronald Reagan came on the political stage with his “Time for Choosing” introduction of presidential candidate Barry Goldwater at the 1964 Republican National Convention, the same year Lyndon B. Johnson announced his Great Society program as the cornerstone of his domestic policy.

What do all these events have to do with today? I’ll let you listen to the Great Communicator explain. After you listen, ask yourself if we’ve learned anything from history.

Bottom line: ELECTIONS MATTER!

COVID BILL’S WASTEFUL SPENDING BY THE DEMOCRATS

Tuesday, April 5th, 2022

 

Here’s Some Of The Garbage Democrats Funded As ‘Covid Relief’
APRIL 04, 2022
EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:
As the nation’s debt has passed $30 trillion and inflation continues to skyrocket, federal funds are being used to fund four-star hotels and bailouts for deadbeat dads.
“$1 million to pay off overdue child support in St. Louis. A city memo states that owing child support stops some people from looking for work because the overdue payments are garnished from paychecks; the program would ‘empower individuals’ by paying down a portion.” Translation: St. Louis is bailing out deadbeat dads who have skipped out on their obligations to their children—a fine way to teach responsible parenting.
$300,000 for a museum in Worcester, Massachusetts honoring a famous African American bicycle rider from the turn of the last century.
$5 million for the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, which “features niche sporting contests such as DanceSport, korfball, and flying disc.”
$2 million to purchase a ski area in Pottawattamie County, Iowa.
“$6.6 million to replace irrigation systems at two golf courses in Colorado Springs.”
“$2.5 million to hire new parking enforcement officers in Washington, DC.” As a District resident, I particularly “appreciate” this “investment”—because if there’s one thing Washington needs, it’s more government bureaucrats levying arbitrary fines.
A $12 million renovation for a minor league baseball stadium in Dutchess County, New York.
$5 million from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts “to pay off the debts of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate in Boston, a nonprofit established to honor the late senator that has struggled financially.”
$15 million in New Jersey to fund upgrades “to sweeten the state’s bid to host the 2026 World Cup.”
$53,000 to renovate City Hall in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
Tens of millions of dollars for tourist marketing campaigns—as if people who felt uncomfortable traveling during Covid need any more incentive to take a much-needed vacation.
$140 million to fund a 29-story, 800-room hotel in Broward County, Florida that the county will own while a private company will manage. (Why a county has any business owning a hotel is anyone’s guess.) To get around a federal prohibition on using the “Covid relief” money for large capital projects, the county commissioners transferred the federal aid to the county’s general fund, then transferred general fund dollars to the project. If anyone in the private sector tried a gimmick like this, he would get arrested for money laundering—but it’s all in a day’s work for government entities maximizing the cash they can squeeze out of Washington.

WHO IS ADAM ANDRZEJEWSKI ?

Tuesday, February 15th, 2022

 

The brilliant Adam Andrzejewski, CEO and founder of OpenTheBooks.com, is an amazing source for detailed information on the depth of the swamp in Washington.  He is a numbers man and exposes exactly where our tax money goes.   For background information, I have included in this email  a video of his presentation at Hillsdale College entitled Depths of the Swamp.  I sent this video out several years ago but we all need to see all the information that he exposes once again.  Truly enough to make your blood boil !   Nancy

Forbes columnist says he was ‘canceled’ over Anthony Fauci coverage

By Joshua Rhett Miller   February 15, 2022

A longtime Forbes contributor claims he lost his job over investigative stories on Dr. Anthony Fauci, including his looming $350,000 retirement package.

Adam Andrzejewski, CEO and founder of OpenTheBooks.com, told Fox News Monday he was “canceled” by the magazine after eight years and more than 200 columns due to his coverage of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director.

“Clearly, Forbes’ editors did not want our oversight of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s finances on the website,” Andrzejewski told Tucker Carlson.

Andrzejewski said six top executives at the National Institutes of Health recently sent him and the magazine’s top content officer an email on his coverage.

“It was couched as a corrections email, but the corrections — there was basically no substantial corrections — and they quibbled about small things in my column,” Andrzejewski said. “But that was the excuse that Forbes used to cancel the column.”

WHAT AMERICA GETS FOR $1.2 TRILLION IN INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING

Sunday, November 7th, 2021

 

Here’s Everything America Gets For $1.2 Trillion In Infrastructure Spending – Including The Crazy Stuff

SUNDAY, NOV 07, 2021 – 05:00 AM

After Friday night’s 11th-hour vote in the House resulted in the passage of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill – thanks to 13 uniparty Republicans who joined the Congressional Black Caucus in short-sheeting House Progressives – the Wall Street Journal and Forbes have published refreshers of what what America is supposedly getting out of the largest investment in infrastructure in more than a decade.

To help pay for the roughly $550 billion in new spending (nearly half is previously approved funding), more than $200 billion in unused coronavirus relief funds will be repurposed, along with $50 billion from a Trump-era rule on Medicare rebates, and another $50 billion from various states’ unused unemployment insurance supplemental funds. Where the rest will come from? Tax hikes and IRS colonoscopies are slated to offset the upcoming social spending bill, assuming Democrats are able to slip both into the reconciliation bill that somehow passes muster for moderate Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ).

In truth, it isn’t paid for at all.

WHAT IS IN THAT BUDGET ????

Thursday, October 14th, 2021
When you vote for Democrats, this is what you get !   Nancy

EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:  The full list of Democrat nonsense contained with Biden’s budget can be viewed here, and as the RSC concludes, “Each of these 42 bullets is enough to vote against the bill. Taken together—it’s mindblowingly corrupt.”

40+ Radical Programs Democrats Don’t Want You to Notice in Biden’s Budget
by Spencer Brown   October 13, 2021
1. Perpetuates labor shortage: Continues welfare benefits without work requirements for able-bodied
adults without dependents at a time where there are 10.1 million job openings—more openings than
there are people looking for work.
2. Commissions a climate police: Democrats stuffed $8 billion into the bill to commission a cabal of
federally funded climate police called the Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) who will conduct progressive
activism on taxpayers’ dime (pages 8, 21, and 926).
3. Pushes Green New Deal in our public schools: Requires funding for school construction be used
largely on enrollment diversity and Green New Deal agenda items (page 55).
4. Pushes Green New Deal in our universities: Democrats include a $10 billion “environmental
justice” higher education slush fund to indoctrinate college students and advance Green New Deal
policies (page 1,935).
