Intro

It's time for a reality check ...

Maybe we’ve reached the point of diminishing astonishment.

But I suspect that much of what we’re hammered with every day really doesn’t make much of an impact on most of us anymore. We’ve heard the same stories too often. We’ve been exposed to the same issues for so long without any meaningful resolution. We recognize that reality is rapidly becoming malleable, primarily in the hands of whoever has the biggest microphone. How else can we explain a society where myth asserts itself as reality, based entirely how many hits it gets online?

We know that many of the “issues” as defined are pure crapola, hyped by politicians on both sides pandering to “the will of the people,” which is still more crapola. Inevitably, it’s not the will of all the people they reflect, but the will of relatively small groups of people with disproportionate political influence.

Nobody wants to face up to the realities of the issues. Nobody wants to say what’s right or wrong – even when it’s obvious and there are numbers to back it up. Most of us are afraid to bring up the realities for fear of being accused of being insensitive or downright mean.

So we say nothing. Until now.

It’s time for a reality check on the fundamentals – much of which is common knowledge to many of us, already. But it might be comforting to know you are not alone …

Why yes, the Democrats are crazy ...


It’s not your imagination.  What you’re seeing is what you think you’re seeing. 

They are clearly insane. Nuts. Bonkers. Off the deep end. Especially most of those trying to get the Democrat nomination to run against Trump in 2020.   

Worse yet, many of their supporters don’t seem to realize it.  Some of them might but it doesn’t seem to bother them all that much.  Maybe they agree with them.  That’s truly scary.   

Some candidates running for the Democrat nomination must think it’s a great way to get attention and keep their names out there. They’ll clearly do or say anything – and I do mean anything – to stay in the spotlight, no matter how nuts.   

Like saying that if gun owners resist a government buyback program for their legally purchased AR-15s and AK-47s, the government will just confiscate their weapons and arrest them. 

Like saying that illegal immigrants are actually “heroes” and should not be prosecuted for illegally crossing our borders; in fact, our borders are immoral and should be removed. 

Like saying that violent criminal illegal aliens should not be handed over to ICE for deportation.  

Like saying detention facilities at our border are just like Nazi concentration camps.  

Like saying all illegal immigrants should be provided with free healthcare and full welfare benefits at U.S. taxpayer expense. 

Like saying that all private insurance – including employer-provided and through union contracts, which together cover more than 150 million Americans – should be eliminated and replaced with a government-run single-payer system paid for by higher taxes on everyone.

Like saying that people still in prison – even those who’ve committed the worst crimes, like terror bombings, rape, child molestation, and murder – should be allowed to vote in our elections. 

Like saying we should simply abolish prisons in America.

Like saying that any church that opposes gay marriage should be stripped of its tax exemption.

Like saying that all student debt – even debt incurred at expensive elite Ivy-League schools by students of wealthy parents – should be forgiven.  

Like saying that all public colleges should be free, even for illegal immigrants, with the cost paid by higher taxes on the middle and upper class. 

Like saying it should be illegal to become a billionaire.   

I don’t think these candidates grasp that anything they say publicly in this digital age is out there forever. Maybe they’re counting on their pals in the media to bury anything damaging to them. However, it’s a sure bet that dumb statements can and will come back to haunt them.

The digital age can cut both ways, and deeply.  Count on it. 

Things candidates are saying to win over the Dem’s radical left base in the primaries are becoming increasingly crazy. 

These may give a woody to the woke but that’s about it.

Once most Americans start paying attention to what the Democrat candidates are actually promising to do, I don’t think it’s going to go over very well. And you can bet your bottom dollar in 2020 Republicans will remind everybody what those candidates said, using their own words against them.  

It won’t just be attack ads against individual Democrats running for President or House and Senate seats, but against the entire Democrat party and anybody with a D behind their name – whether at the Federal, state or local level.

All Republicans have to do it push the playback button. Just roll the tape … 

The pitch will be simple: The Democrat Party has gone insane.  And despite what individual Democrats say when they are running for office about really being moderate and willing to work across the aisle to solve real problems, you simply can’t trust them. Once they get elected, they follow their leaders like Pelosi and Schumer and proven liars like Schiff and Nadler and forget about you. They are all amoral weasels who will do or say anything to get and hold on to power.  

Case in point: the shameful Kavanaugh hearings. Lies about “evidence,” hiding new accusations until after the hearings were to be officially closed, demanding additional FBI investigations that, as expected showed that key witnesses against Kavanaugh lied.  Need I say more? 

Case in point:  the fiasco over the Mueller Report which, after so much hype and hyperbole, turned out to be a waste of time and more than $30 million to prove Trump never colluded with Russia. Which is what he said all along.  Well, what about the “obstruction” narrative?  Think about this: how could he have obstructed the probe when he voluntarily turned over millions of documents and told his people to cooperate with investigators, which they all did? 

Case in point: after two years holding the House, what have Democrats accomplished?  Instead of working to solve immigration, infrastructure, and make lives better for Americans, Democrats have spent that time and millions trying to overturn the 2016 election – for what? There’s another election in 13 months. Why not let voters decide? Why? Because they don’t trust the voters.    

Case in point: the dust up over the Ukraine phone call.  Democrats and their friends in the media have lied about this at practically every step. They even brought out an anonymous whistleblower who wasn’t even there for the call claiming Trump threatened the president of Ukraine multiple times with withholding military aid unless Ukraine investigated the Bidens and turned over a server the DNC had containing Hillary’s e-mails from 2016.  

Then, surprise, Trump does the unthinkable and releases the actual transcript for everyone to read.  And there’s no quid pro quo; not even one, much less seven as claimed by the whistleblower.  No threats. No pressure on the Ukrainian president, according the transcript and even by the Ukrainian president himself. Yet the Democrats start an impeachment inquiry based on – what? 

The Democrats’ insanity is not something new.  But the more they all blather on with crazier and crazier stuff, the more they can expect to see their lunacy played back verbatim in Republican commercials for the 2020 election.

Trump and the Republicans should thank them.  

It’s such great material to work with.
