Does Anyone Trust Joe Biden And His Democrats To Get Us Out Of This Mess?

31 05 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

After all, they got us into it.

Our cities are engulfed in crime.  Our police have been demonized.  Illegal aliens have flooded across our borders, along with killer drugs—and killers.  Human traffickers have brought parentless children into our country, to be used and abused sexually.

We are in the midst of a war against Russia, with the Ukrainians as our surrogates.  We are supplying them with weaponry that we might need in a shooting war with China.  Its currency is being adopted globally and might displace the dollar, while its military threatens Taiwan and Japan.

None of this madness and chaos existed some two-plus years ago when Donald Trump was our President.  Yet, in a predetermined master plan, the Democrats have demonized him since he began running for the presidency, using every sinister technique that exists, with any sense of morality having been abandoned on Day One.

Our enemies don’t fear brain-addled Biden; they pity him and us.  Lots of us began as Democrats, but we deserted the party years ago when it veered so far to the Left.[2]

The Criminalization Of Free Speech (And Thoughts) Will Increase Anti-Semitism

29 05 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

This is what brain-addled Joe Biden and his administration are doing[2], which echoes the misdeeds and oppression by Zionists and settlers in Israel.  They have seized Palestinian lands and destroyed their homes, lives and dreams, and subjugated them unmercifully.  Indeed, many years ago, Benjamin Netanyahu morphed into his ancestors’ Nazi oppressors.  He should be tried as a war criminal for his many crimes—which tragically reverberate globally in the form of anti-Semitism directed at innocent Jews.

Today’s Democrats conveniently neglect to mention that the father of their party, Franklin D. Roosevelt and others in his administration were anti-Semites; and this is their heritage.  FDR refused to allow the MS St. Louis to dock at American ports, thereby consigning its Jewish passengers to their fate and often certain death in Europe.  Others in FDR’s Administration knew of the trains and death camps, but did nothing about them.[3]

Similarly, the Democrats championed slavery in America, and perpetuated it long after our Civil War ended with the KKK and segregation.  More recently, Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” programs destroyed black families and consigned them to economic servitude.  Clearly, the Democrats’ hypocrisy knows no bounds; and the criminalization of free speech—and thoughts—is their logical next step.

George Orwell wrote about this in his brilliant “Animal Farm,” where all of the animals were equal until the Pigs reigned supreme and subjugated the other animals.[4]. Today’s Pigs consist of those Israelis who subjugate their non-Jewish neighbors[5]; and the American Leftist neo-Nazi counterparts who would criminalize words and thoughts.[6] 

Netanyahu was hated by Ariel Sharon and the Rabins; and the “Lioness” Leah Rabin blamed him for her husband’s tragic assassination.  She believed peace was impossible with Netanyahu in power; and her views were prescient.  Instead of seeking to criminalize free speech and thoughts, attention should be directed at those Jews who threaten the Palestinians; and their American alter egos.

[5]  As former Policy Adviser to the then President of the State of Israel Shimon Peres, and now Executive Director of J Street Israel, Nadav Tamir wrote on May 21, 2023:

Almost every year, on “Jerusalem Day,” far-right Israeli ethno-nationalists march through the Muslim quarter of the city. For too many of them, it’s a show of force designed to harass, taunt and intimidate Palestinian residents. Many come from the settlements just for the occasion.

This year, men once again chanted “Death to Arabs” and “a second Nakba is coming” as they banged the shutters of Palestinian shops and homes forced to close for the occasion. Boys and teenagers chanted “may your village burn.” Crowds hurled bottles at journalists and Palestinian residents.

This year, they were joined by more than half a dozen members of the Netanyahu government — including ‘Jewish Power’ leader and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

As a former Israeli diplomat and soldier who has proudly represented my homeland, this march defiles everything I would hope the Israeli flag to stand for.

This is not upholding Israel’s founding values of equality, justice and peace. This is not the image of a healthy, thriving and pluralistic democracy. This is incitement, harassment, division and state-sponsored bullying.

Those who truly care about a peaceful, just and democratic future for Israel cannot afford to ignore the growing threat that right-wing, pro-settlement, anti-democratic forces pose to both Israel’s founding ideals and the values at the heart of the US-Israel relationship.

President Trump Is A Crime Victim Who Was Targeted By Obama, Biden, Clinton And Their Deep State Allies

20 05 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

This is the conclusion reached by Judicial Watch’s President Tom Fitton, who has issued the following statement regarding the report by the Office of Special Counsel John Durham:

This is damning information. According to the Durham Report, President Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan, then-Vice President Joe Biden, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and the infamous former Director of the FBI James Comey were briefed in August 2016 about the plan by Hillary Clinton and the DNC to create a false narrative linking President Trump to Russia.

The FBI knew the Steele dossier was a sack of lies, and yet they still pushed false allegations in the nefarious FISA warrant applications against Carter Page.  They made it a point to try to crush Trump and those around him.  It was a purely political, banana republic effort to change the course of a presidential election and presidency.

Many key Durham report findings were already disclosed thanks to Judicial Watch FOIA investigations and litigation.

Durham let down the American people with few and failed prosecutions.  Never in American history has so much government corruption faced so little accountability.  Let me be clear, the FBI and Justice Department—and their political masters in the Obama White House—are responsible for the worst government corruption in American history.  President Trump is a crime victim who was targeted by a seditious conspiracy by Obama, Biden, Clinton and their Deep State allies.[2]

Fitton is correct.  This goes to the very essence and integrity of our great nation, and the fundamental reason why so many people attempt to reach our shores, and leave their countries of origin in this hemisphere and throughout the world.  Most have seen enough corruption in their own countries to last a lifetime.  And what Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton and their Deep State allies have done is treasonous—and punishable by death pursuant to our Constitution.[3]

Has San Francisco Been ‘Bud Lighted,’ Or Far Worse?

19 05 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

I fell in love with San Francisco too many years ago to count.  Perhaps it began with a rainy trip up the magnificent Big Sur Coast, to look at a college in the Bay Area with a high school classmate of mine.  Or maybe it was when I decided to attend law school at Berkeley, after having grown up in Los Angeles—a mile or so west of the UCLA campus in Westwood, from which I graduated.

Arriving at Berkeley, I lived in a one-room garret on Mosswood Road above Cal’s football stadium, with ivy growing through the walls.  My only means of transportation was a small but reliable Honda motorscooter, which took me everywhere—even across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge to Fisherman’s Wharf.  There, I went over an old railroad track and was flung to the ground, thankfully not suffering any serious injuries except to my pride.

After graduating from Cal’s law school in the midst of the Vietnam War, I was honored to work briefly for a prestigious law firm in San Francisco, before spending two years as an Army officer assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency’s headquarters in the Pentagon.  After that, I could have gone back to San Francisco, but instead decided to work in and with the U.S. Senate.

In the private practice of law, I acquired failing savings and loans from the federal government in both San Francisco and LA for my firm’s clients, and one of them was in San Francisco.  It was the largest minority bank in the country, and located at the edge of Chinatown; and it was a heady experience.  I spent lots of time in the city working on that; and often I stayed in Sausalito and took a ferry to and from the city.

Fast forward, and lovely Kate Steinle (see photo below) was killed at Fisherman’s Wharf by an illegal alien who had been arrested many times.  In an unrelated matter, I testified as an expert in San Francisco, and realized then how seedy and dangerous the city had become.  Walking to and from a BART subway station—in a business suit and carrying my laptop—I felt that I could be attacked at any moment, and the chances of someone helping me was slim.

I used to walk Golden Gate Park from its eastern end to the ocean, and then watch the sunset at the Golden Gate Bridge before having dinner in Chinatown.  But not anymore.  There are legitimate reasons why businesses have been closing in San Francisco.  Criminals have been emboldened; and law enforcement seems shackled or nonexistent.[2]

Yet, the uber-woke in the city are crusading for reparations, even though California was not a slave state.[3]  Put together, it is as if the inmates are truly running the asylum; and at least parts of San Francisco are dangerous to visit these days, which is so so sad.  Throw in the possibility that a major earthquake might hit the city, like the devastating Loma Prieta Quake, and it is not surprising that lots of Americans are avoiding it like the plague.

In no small sense, it is being “Bud Lighted,” just like the Anheuser-Busch brand has been boycotted after it advertised with the image of a “freak of nature” on its beer can.  Many years may pass before the once-great San Francisco recovers.  In the interim, lots of us have wonderful memories of how the city by the Bay once was.  Chicago and other seemingly-lawless American cities are being boycotted too.

This Is More Bizarre Than Any Hollywood Movie

19 05 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

We know now that fifty-one high-ranking federal officials signed a letter on the eve of the 2020 elections, and conspired with the Biden campaign to produce it and falsely claim that emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation.  We know too that it was a total lie, and they knew this, yet it influenced our presidential election results.[2]

Also, we know that the Hunter Biden laptop was real, and incriminating with respect to the Biden Family Crime Syndicate and its co-conspirators.  Yet, it was covered up.  If the United States had a functioning system of justice, the perpetrators of these and other traitorous wrongdoings would have been prosecuted, convicted and still incarcerated today.

Like those who stole the 1960 presidential election from Richard Nixon, none of the wrongdoers have paid any price for their criminality.[3]. Quite to the contrary, they have skated scot-free and continue to perpetuate similar crimes, which sends a message loud and clear to others that “crime does pay.”  There are no adverse consequences for rigging America’s elections.

Indeed, when the pitbull Kaitlan Collins challenged and constantly interrupted former President Trump in a CNN “town hall” meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire—and was vicious and dogmatic in doing so—she was promoted and given a show of her own, instead of being fired.  And her boss at the network, Chris Licht, has not paid any price either.[4]

Our great country is being overrun—and yes, overwhelmed—by crime, illegal aliens, drugs that kill, and divisions that are literally pitting family members and neighbors against each other.  This was foreseeable when the racist and anti-Semite Barack Obama was elected to the presidency, and then reelected a second time.[5]

He has sown the divisions that exist today; and the Biden presidency is the third term of Obama’s reign, and even worse.  All of this is set against a potentially-ominous background of Artificial Intelligence seizing control of our lives, and World War III ending life as we know it.  Only by placing our trust in God do we have any realistic chance of weathering the buffeting winds ahead.[6]

Will Artificial Intelligence Control Or Destroy Our Lives?

17 05 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Perhaps the most interesting and disturbing discussion on this subject occurred when Tucker Carlson interviewed Elon Musk.[2]  Will sinister forces use AI to control the lives of millions globally, and effectively establish a new world order?  If Adolf Hitler had controlled key AI tools, would he have prevailed in World War II, and would we live in a very different world today?  Will China use AI to establish global supremacy, and subjugate the peoples of this world?

In his prescient “Animal Farm,” George Orwell wrote about a community in which all of the animals were equal until the Pigs gained control and reigned supreme, and subjugated the other animals.[3]  Will AI create a race to achieve what the Pigs did, and can anything stop this?  Has the race begun already, and are we oblivious to it?  Will government regulation become nothing more than a futile attempt to thwart the Pigs—or to close the barn door after the horse is out?[4]

How can any governmental entity control someone operating anywhere in the worldtruly a “Doctor Strangelove” of Hollywood mythology—from using AI in sinister ways?  Sounds bizarre?  Perhaps.  At the very least, jobs will become obsolete as AI writes books, legal briefs and music, and performs lots of tasks that previously had required human skills.  And yes, that alone will change lives on a massive scale.

The highest of all intelligence, now and always, will be God—or “Infinite Intelligence of which our own intelligence is merely a part.”[5]

The Democrats’ Wars

16 05 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Their’s not to reason why,

Their’s not to make reply,

Their’s but to do and die,

Into the valley of Death,

Rode the six hundred.”[2]

So wrote Alfred, Lord Tennyson in his “Charge of the Light Brigade” about the harsh realities and tragedy of wars.[2]

Franklin D. Roosevelt gave us World War II, while Dwight D. Eisenhower won that war in Europe—or much of the continent might be speaking German today.  John F. Kennedy thrust us into Vietnam, and almost launched a nuclear holocaust with the Soviet Union.

Lyndon Johnson expanded JFK’s Vietnam War, while years earlier Harry Truman gave us the war in Korea.[3]  America’s Democrats have often been the party of war, while Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush brought down the Soviet Union without a shot being fired.

Friends of mine died during the Vietnam War; and I was in Berlin when the ragtag Soviet military was retreating to “tent cities” in the USSR, and selling their uniforms and plumbing fixtures from their barracks. 

Today, brain-addled Joe Biden has America at war in distant Ukraine, with the Ukrainians serving as our proxies or surrogates.  China is on the verge of invading Taiwan, and flexing its military muscles elsewhere globally, including an ever-expanding and ominous presence in our own hemisphere.

Anyone who thinks that a war is a great and glorious undertaking, knows very little or nothing about wars.  Those who have lost friends or loved ones, or seen them maimed, has a truer sense of the costs.  Right now, Russia’s butcher Vladimir Putin is conducting a savage war in Ukraine, where rape and torture are commonplace.

China is equally brutal.  There are approximately one million Uyghurs and other prisoners in Chinese concentration camps.  EMP weapons have been used by China in its border war with India.  If anyone thinks that China would hesitate to engage in tactics approximating or exceeding what Putin has done, gross naïveté is evident.

Lastly, anyone reading this article may be required to serve in our next war, or will have loved ones who will do so; and this includes both men and women.

America’s Left Is Far More Dangerous Than Its External Enemies

12 05 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Joe Biden and his Democrats and their co-conspirators in the media are determined to destroy our great country from within; and they have been succeeding since they assumed power a scant two years ago.  They are traitors who, under our Constitution, can and should be dealt with harshly—with no mercy shown.

Their latest efforts involved CNN’s “town hall” in New Hampshire, which pitted former President Donald Trump against the network chief Chris Licht’s anticipated star Kaitlan Collins.  She was abrasive beyond belief, and has a history of attacking Trump and his presidency.  Thus, the “fireworks” can and should have been anticipated.

Trump described her as “nasty,” but that was an understatement.  The more she tried, the more she failed.  Indeed, it reminded one of a train wreck; and it contrasted with Chris Wallace’s performance as a moderator in the 2020 presidential debate, after which his career never recovered.  But Collins was far more obnoxious.  While Licht stood behind her in post-town hall comments, the damage was clear.

Lots of us have boycotted CNN for a long time now; and Collins reinforced those decisions.  At least Wallace attempted to convey an air of impartiality, stemming in no small part from his father Mike’s storied history in journalism.  Collins engaged in crass “gotcha” interrogation of Trump from the get-go, which made him even more sympathetic.  He was a former President; she was a crass and ugly nobody.

At a time when brands are being “Bud Lighted,” or destroyed by consumers, CNN was in no position to take that risk.  Having once been an esteemed brand globally, Licht bet on a nag instead of a potential derby winner.  Collins had incurred the disdain of CNN’s Don Lemon.  Now, he seems like a knight in shining armor when compared with the dastardly and thoroughly-repugnant Collins.

Even her fellow Leftists condemned her; and no one seemed to throw her a life ring except Licht.  Will this be the swan song for both of them?  Will those on both the right and left of the political spectrum abandon the network?  Indeed, will it be the next once-admired brand to tank?  Time will tell.  At the very least, Collins is emblematic of the evil forces of the Left, who are perhaps more dangerous than our ruthless enemies abroad.

King Charles III was just “coronated” in London; and he looked feeble and frightened during much of the process—almost Joe Biden-esque—unlike his mother before him.  There was hardly a black or non-white face in the crowd at Westminster Abbey, except eight black minstrels who were dressed elegantly in white, and brought a smile to Charles’ face.

It was all quaint and quite anachronistic.  Rain was falling outside, as it usually does this time of year.  Meanwhile, throngs of well-wishers lined the streets; and reportedly, anti-monarchists were arrested and shunted off, so they wouldn’t soil the occasion.  Royalty from far and wide were present, in stark contrast to Czar Nicholas II’s send-off in Russia.

Princes Andrew and Harry were present, setting aside for the moment the scandals swirling about the former’s ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Harry’s estranged relationship because of his American wife, #MEGXIT, today’s Wallis Simpson.  In a sense, the whole occasion was a bit bizarre and other-worldly, as if the lily-white Monarchy’s last gasp was taking place amidst regal splendor.

Notably absent were Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, who threatened to throw the world headlong into the next global war.  Also, missing was brain-addled Joe Biden, who might not fully appreciate where he was or what was happening.  Brits who were homeless and starving weren’t present either, as another chapter in world history seemed to be closing.

My first maternal ancestor to arrive in America came in the 1700s from Bristol, England, and became a merchant in Albemarle County, Virginia.  Other ancestors came from Ireland, Scotland and Germany around 1850.  The great melting pot that is America today is torn asunder by crime and poverty everywhere, and political divisions that seem unprecedented and unresolvable.  But for one brief shining moment, once-great Britain had its day in the sun—albeit with intermittent drizzle.

Watergate Was Nothing Compared To The Democrats’ Criminality

2 05 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Lots of Americans—perhaps most of them—have never heard of Watergate, much less the so-called “White House plumbers” that are being trumpeted by the woke, Leftist media as the 2024 presidential race begins in earnest.  Joe Biden is brain-addled at best; and he may be gone from our midst at any moment.  But otherwise, he is the horse that his political party is riding, for better or worse.  And in a thoroughly-sinister and despicable manner, albeit predictably, they are trying to destroy Donald Trump for the umpteenth time.

All of this needs to be put into perspective historically. The “Progressives”—a term that the Democrats coined, coopted and began using to mask their skulduggery and blatant criminality—stole the 1960 election from Richard Nixon.  The thoroughly-immoral John F. Kennedy, his family, the Democrats and Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana conspired together to rig the elections in Chicago and West Virginia.  A footnote, but an important one is that JFK and Giancana shared a mistress, Judith Campbell Exner, whom they used as a go-between.

Both JFK and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated; Lyndon Johnson became the President; and he escalated the Vietnam War, such that more than 58,000 Americans died, some of whom were my friends.  Many more were maimed; and our great nation’s honor and prestige globally were impaled on a human tragedy to such an extent that Johnson could not run for reelection in 1968.

Reenter Nixon, and he won the presidency in that year, and went on to win a second term by a landslide in 1972.  Never chastened, the Democrats seized on an amateurish break-in of their party headquarters in Washington, D.C.’s Watergate office complex to destroy the Nixon presidency.  The so-called “plumbers” broke into their offices; Nixon was tagged with a “cover up” of what had happened; and a rising chorus of Democrats and their acolytes in the media drove him from the presidency.

Next, these utterly ruthless Democrats tried to bring down Ronald Reagan’s presidency with allegations that were labeled “Iran Contra,” despite the assassination attempt on his life, and the fact that he and George H.W. Bush brought down the Soviet Union without a shot being fired. Then, they moved on to Trump, and have tried to destroy him since his quest for the presidency began.  Indeed, as Biden’s mental capacity declines steadily, they and the “Deep State”—or embedded bureaucracy—are frantically trying to destroy Trump before he resumes the presidency after a four-year hiatus.

The Biden presidency has brought the United States to the brink of World War III—or multidimensional wars in Ukraine, Taiwan and the Asia Pacific, the Korean peninsula and the Middle East—which might destroy life as we know it.  The Biden “Nightmare” has destroyed our energy independence; unleashed a flood of cartel members, human traffickers and drugs that kill across our borders; and condoned unprecedented and unpunished crime in our cities and throughout the United States.

Thus, put into perspective, Watergate was a blip on history’s radar screen, while the Democrats’ criminality might destroy life as we know it.  Most Americans are simply trying to survive today’s challenges; and they attempt to ignore homelessness and other indicia of America’s decline and societal destruction.  Having seemingly weathered Covid-19 and its mutations—or the Chinese viruses—many are focused on the basics of keeping their families intact and afloat.

The idea that they or their children or grandchildren might be drafted to fight the next wars, and soon, is abhorrent beyond belief.  It’s as if a bad dream suddenly became their reality, and the inmates had taken over the asylum.  Yet, this is the edge of an abyss to which Joe Biden and his criminal co-conspirators have brought us in two short years.  It seems impossible, you may say or think.  But this is the destination to which we may be arriving after years of the unchecked madness.
