Friends, this week's Newsmaker Show with me and Brian O'Neil achieves excellence on an intergalactic scale.
First, Brian and I talk about the latest developments in the leftist crusade to destroy the Trump administration -- and with it, American democracy itself? The rhetoric against Attorney General Barr and the Justice Department is getting wildly overheated. The incessant comparisons to Nazism, fascism, dictatorship, etc. are getting tiresome, on one level, and deeply unsettling, on another. We could say that the Democrats have "taken the gloves off," but that would still imply that something resembling a fair fight is underway, and in no way are they playing fair. They intend to destroy Trump, his supporters, and the Republican Party once and for all -- and they are making it clear that they have zero respect for the half of America that disagrees with them.
Brian and I also discuss proposals to send Americans a second round of stimulus checks, Antifa violence in Ireland, and the predicament of the federal authorities in Portland, Oregon.
In our look at "This Day in History", Brian and I cover the early days of the U.S. automotive industry, the creation of NASA in the wake of the Sputnik fiasco in 1957, and the elevation of Adolf Hitler to the leadership of the Nazi Party in 1921.
Don't miss a second of the pulse-pounding action!

ReplyDeleteWild Protests; I firmly believe they are put on by the Dem party and the likes of Soros. There are plenty of links and such in regards to this topic. Also, the rioters and protestors get their marching orders via text messages put on by a Soros pact. Honestly, I believe the dems have over played their hand(s). A lie doesn't make it/the lie true, at least that is what my parents always say.
ReplyDeletePopularity: As a conservative who just served a 8 day (was suppose to be 10) suspension from FB for posting the Hodgetwins and others who are speaking the truth, I can tell you, censorship is alive and well. Silencing me really didn't work, just so you (well, the liberals, not you) know, there are other ways of getting the word out.
Nadler: Yikes. Surreal is indeed the word. I think the dems have a real problem on their hands and need to acknowledge their short comings, which they will never do. I am getting real tired of Pelosi and her ilk, she sure is acting like a 5 yr old instead of a 84-85 year old. ANYWAY, the Federal Gvt has every right to defend the property. Nadler and others are saturated with bias and it is scary.
Stimulus: I want to take issue with these politicians who call out these heroes. Listen, EVERY job is essential, not just doctors and nurses. I personally find these thoughts biased against every single person who earns a living. As for the checks, I certainty benefited from the last stimulus check, it sure paid some bills and with a fast approaching deadline of Sept. for student loan payments, and no job as of yet, its scary. With that said, I agree, no more spending money. I was reading NY state is in like a 100 BILLION dollar shortfall and an overall 27% tax collections shortfall, so that means higher taxes. Let's not discuss the "defund police" issue, sigh. That probably could get roped into this topic though.
Let's see, we can adopt you into the Conley family in regards to NASA fans {{grin}}. I don't have any other thoughts in regards to the rest of the Newsmaker Show. Apologies for falling behind in commenting.
Hi Jack. You're getting warmer!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Welcome back to the greatest show on Earth! Ha ha.
So you think Soros is coordinating the riots? Soros and his minions may be helping to foster them, but I honestly think these leftist malcontents go their own way much of the time. As you say, they've overplayed their hands in countless ways and embarrassed their own "side," and only the most herculean efforts at spin on the part of the media have been able to cover up for their outrages.
It's a smart move on Trump's part to let the Oregon State Police take over in Portland. The more the narrative is rioters versus law enforcement, instead of rioters versus Trump, the harder it will be for the Dems to perpetuate the illusion that "there's nothing to see here" regarding urban unrest -- and the American people, at the end of the day, will always choose law and order (in my humble opinion).
Quite right: attempts at censorship are everywhere these days. Truly effective censorship is still a leftist pipe dream. Having said that, the end may be nigh for free speech, if good people don't continue to resist these efforts at thought control...
Linda, the fiscal chasm our state is about to fall into is chilling. The Dems seem to assume that Uncle Joe will shower them with goodies in just a few months, but on that score they may be disappointed. Even the Democrats may hesitate to print money in infinite quantities, or to borrow it if interest rates rise, which at some point they have to. The Left seems to have decided that, before they can "fix" America, they have to break it thoroughly. This too is a dangerous game for them to play. I hope and believe that their various gambits will come to nought in November.
Again, it's great to have you back. :)
Dr. Waddy and Linda from Jack: Soros: He cannot but be fully aware of the agony forced on his Hungary in 1956 by typically subhuman marxists. To the American marxist that is of course a shining example of what unbelievers deserve and he is embrace by them, for now that is. . . . Ah dunno: Feds, Oregon State troopers (what a thankless profession in the occupied areas of that benighted state) or Coos Bay police; it don't matter none- these worker ant, leucocyte American Taliban will attack the President even if it were the local crossing guard. questioning any exalted move on their part.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack:Sputnik was areal shock but the U.S. stepped up to the plate in very good time. I always think of the NASA of that button down "can do" time as exemplified by those no nonsense young MIT and RPI grads turning to and getting us back with the program. We all know that engineering ain't no "day at the beach major in college! The Kingston Trio's song New Frontier sums up their elan and devotion.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: There is of course a continuing morbid interest in Hitler's rise. Having read several histories of it and that my own life was within an inch of marine steel from being precluded before I was imagined due to his Uboats, this is my opinion, for whatever it is worth. "Luck" and chance were prime factors; he could have been felled by hostile gunfire in many instances. Had he not appeared, would post WWI Germany reacted to its woes as it did at his instigation? To consider this requires a look at German history and the particularly vicious record of German antisemitism going bqck at least to Luther. Was Hitler,due to his certain oratorical,political and organizational skills, the primal cause? I know I can't say but I do think the particulars of German culture and history going at least back to Luther and the Thirty Years War are indispensable germane.

Jack, you're right that the Oregon State Police will fare no better than the Feds did in Portland -- but the key is that the media won't be able to sustain its Trumpian stormtrooper delusions if the Feds step back. And, frankly, the more disorderly Dem cities become, the better it is for Republicans. It's sad we've come to this pass, of course.
ReplyDeleteJack, in my opinion it was always very unlikely that genocidal anti-Semitism would flourish in Germany in the 20th century. It took Hitler's leadership and an extraordinary constellation of bizarre circumstances to bring that about. I personally don't regard Germany as inherently benighted. Militaristic, sure, but that militarism could just as easily have made Germany master of Europe as the world's pariah.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: It is hard to imagine Germany's unspeakable onslaught on Jews happening without Hitler's insane sociopathic determination. Even Stalin purposed "merely" moving them to balmy Soviet central Asia. But I do think Germany had a particular animus which Hitler cultivated.
ReplyDeleteJack, yes, Germany had a particular animus against the Jews, but a similar (and often worse) animus can be documented in virtually every Western country, including (and especially) our own. I personally regard Russia as the leading candidate for genocide against the Jews in the 20th century -- and in some ways there were outbreaks of genocidal violence in Tsarist times, as you will know. Germany, in my view, was no more anti-Semitic or racist, prior to 1933, than many other Western countries. Once the Nazis started cultivating those attitudes, and enabling their violent expression, well, everything changed.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: I need to do more reading. I depend mainly on John Weiss's Ideology of Death in which argues that German antisemitism was especially fundamental and intense. I'll start by checking your textbook and then I'll read more. Thanks for the insight.

ReplyDeleteJack, it isn't my field of expertise, admittedly. Arguments can be made on both sides of this question. I think those who see pre-1933 Germany as a hotbed of anti-Semitism are engaging in backwards reasoning, to a degree. Once something has happened (like the Holocaust), people search for the reasons why it HAD to happen...but rarely is anything inevitable, and in the case of the Holocaust I regard it as the consummation of an improbability. What I mean is that it wasn't just the historical fact of German anti-Semitism that produced it, but a remarkable confluence of opportunities for the MOST vitriolic German Jew-haters.
