"Trump has mostly one principle: he was elected to pursue a conservative populist agenda without too much worry what the Washington establishment said or did, whose record on the economic front since 2008 and in foreign policy was not especially stellar. In that sense, he is far more principled in carrying out his promises than many past presidents whose stump speeches on taxes, illegal immigration, trade, educational reform and a host of other issues were either never reified or flat out broken."

Local talk show ripped DeVos for signing on to totalitarian globalist Common Core agenda. Sustainable UN indoctrination system.

Nothing on the news about this.

The local also ripped into conservative media, Rush, Hannity, etc. for lying about Trump ending the Obamacare subsidy for insurance companies. Apparently this triumph, ( if you are conservative) or murderous, ( if you are progressive ) action didn't actually happen.

https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/obam acare-risk-adjustment-trump/

For those not paying attention when obamacare was passed by Democrats alone without reading it, how Obama got the insurance companies to side with him on a program that, ultimately, will eliminate them when socialized medicine takes over in the wake of the collapse caused by obamacare, was to pay the insurance companies your tax dollars to eliminate the risk of insuring people with pre-existing conditions.

Now, I think it's important to make it possible to get insurance if you have pre-existing conditions. At normal, not impossible rates. I can make a good argument for that, if you want to discuss it.

In a normal marketplace, all would share the burden by paying higher premiums. But Obama bribed the insurance companies by taking on that possible reduction in profits by giving them lots of tax dollars, in a proportion ....... That I would bet comes from campaign contributions.

Thus, the victory, or abomination,

https://www.npr.org/2017/10/12/540920671/trump-adm inistration-to-end-obamacare-subsidies-for-the-poo r

Depending on your bias, did not in fact happen..... Since it's still in the courts, today.

Moral? Fake news comes from both directions.

Trump's minions are not all they were sold to you as.

Some things under Trump are getting worse, and education is freaking important, if you want the next generation to pay for your pensions and Social Security, ( since that money was spent already, they have to be taxed for it ) and not decide to take your guns, motorcycles, and 401k accounts, because they were indoctrinated in socialist greed.

They keep trying to make it look like Manafort was arrested because Trump conspired with the Russians.

Which is what Mueller set out to prove from the beginning, with no evidence, violating due process.

Yahoo is probably as left-slanted as they come.

That is Not what Manafort pleaded guilty to, or did; you're a victim of Russian meddling in US politics.

You need to study Soviet doctrine. The left is the arm of the Soviet Party. Not the right. All of you sheep, the same ones who believe that Trump is "Russian Colluding", have fallen beautifully into their trap of destabilization operations.

I've seen countless headlines about Mueller's targets "flipping". Flipping typically would mean a minion cooperating with officials to testify against their higher up criminals, normally for immunity. All I've seen is plea-bargains. Guilty pleas to lesser charges. Nothing so far has had anything to do with Trump, or Russian meddling in our elections. This is all a very sad and corrupt witch hunt.

Looks like the Dems are running one of their favorite plays against Kavanaugh. Pretty disgusting IMO.

The #MeToo Kavanaugh Ambush


And if this can be believed (it does seem like easily verifiable info for the most part), it's really looking like complete BS.

Kavanaugh Accuser is an Anti-Trump Leftist Who Attended Women’s March, Donated to DNC

There seems to be no credibility here, and lot's of motive to create a false story. I figured this story would take this turn as facts came out. The Dems are nothing if not predictable.

I envy your optimism.

My prediction is this will all get worse right up to the midterms. Seriously worse.

The only question in my mind is, a bit complex. How smart & organized are the Dems?

I think the smart strategy is to lean on Antifa and others to keep the physical violence off, ( because violence turns off voters, a different group than the Dems play to and are ) and keep the word play going, false accusations, hyperbole, Free Stuff!.

However, if they are panic prone and/or not really able to control the Soros/Hydra organizations, there may be "counter protests" to the "hard/alt right Nazis/Klan" that go murderously wrong.

I've done & taught the martial arts equiv. of rioting, SCA armored melee fighting. Like American Football, without rules, it's deadly. Think clubs & cavemen. Antifa & little league bats.

The SCA deals with the danger by using an enforced honor system, some strike zone restrictions, and MOSTLY, not hitting an enemy after they give up.

Without the code of honor, there would be serious injuries. Even Deaths. ( The SCA record is plus good )

There is no code of honor in a Mob.

Trump's unforgivable crime of telling the truth.

Ah! Sterling's "Emberverse". Great read, impossible magical setup. Physics changes, so you can't use guns or electricity. ( the lengths authors will go to go support a plot line. You'd think they were Congressmen! )

I love how a SCA Duke is the Big Bad in the first few books. I've met some of the folk who are parodied/inspired some of the fictional characters.

Other than the magic parts, it's a chilling, accurate view of our modern society collapsing. The magic is needed for the premise, ( gunpowder doesn't work ) and is well written, as believable as any fantasy series and better than most. Lord of the Rings set in Portland? Not exactly, but close.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emberverse_ser ies

Stirling specializes in alt-history novels. His Draka series is "what's the Worst Bad Guys I can create from history's greatest evils? Someone who scares Nazis?"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Domination

Stirling writes great nightmare fuel. Nazgul? Hah!

Yea, I always think about these books when I see stories about "preppers". No harm in taking steps in that direction, but if Stirling's ideas about what happens when society collapses are anywhere close to correct, all the guns and food you can muster in your own home wouldn't save you. The best thing you could do is gather all your crap and head as far as you could get away from populated areas ASAP and find some like-minded individuals to form a community with.

I think I read 9 or 10 of the books; he published one a year for a long time, and they're sort of grouped into 3-book story arcs. I do like it that the characters realize it took some really crazy physics, bordering on magic, to suppress explosions, nuclear reactions, electricity, and even the ideal gas laws on Earth, without extinguishing the sun or killing the inhabitants. They also occasionally refer to their speculative idea for who did it- Alien Space Bats.

Thanks for the link to the Domination series. That might be worth checking out.

Hughlysses, this is off topic, sorry, but let's be realistic, the Democrat attacks on the Game Show Host are all off topic too.

I am astonished by the parallels between the Media treatment of Bush & Trump. Very different people, but the identical tactic of lying through their teeth to find fault, while ignoring any actual "sins" ( from a conservative viewpoint ) when they match the desires of the critics.

With Bush, it was years of "lied about WMDs", a position Bush himself seems to have taken, possibly to not be a pariah. Short form, Bill & Hillary & Kerry & the UN all knew Saddam had poison gas. The Nuclear program was on hold, and the biowar stuff was waiting to be restarted. ( all proven, though the prospect of that reactivation was used as a threat assessment spice ) American soldiers were injured by poison gas, that was, as we were told at the beginning of the war, hidden among the conventional explosive shells. The British built an incinerator, to destroy the stockpiles of poison gas, which were found, but never, ever reported on. If the Obama VA hadn't been run by the criminals that it was/is? then we'd never have the NY Times story about US soldiers not getting treated for poison gas exposure.

Time after time, charges were set, a bunker full of old shells was destroyed, and poison gas sprayed the area, hurting our troops, and local civilians.

It's only the lies that there were none, "Bush lied people died" that live on. Unfairly, as they are still lies.

However, Bush never vetoed a spending bill, and let Congress double the debt. Obama, who voted for the budget, used Bush's lack of fiscal responsibility as a campaign slogan.... then that entire narrative vanished, along with any imaginary fiscal restraint. The Media never complained about that excess spending, and weak presidency, since they loved it.

Trump does get knocked for his "unpresidential" behavior, and swaggering bull, by both Rs & Ds... But then the rest of the Hate comes from imaginary sins, imaginary racism, imaginary anti-semitism, imaginary witchcraft, ( just wait! ) and what little complaints that are actually justified? Buried in the storm of lies.

Off topic Rage is the order of the Day.

Off topic...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._M._Stirling_bib liography

I like his General series a lot, like most of the alt-history genre, what if you had the knowledge of tactics & weapons from the future? Simply knowing the dead ends of technology would give you an edge.

His books with Pournelle, Niven & McCaffrey are all excellent, as is the stand alone "The Peshwar Lancers".

An even "better" author in the alt-history genre is Harry Turtledove, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Turtledove

I suggest The Hot War trilogy, If MacArthur had used the Bomb in Korea.

And I'd be remiss in not recommending Harry Harrison,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harrison_(writer)

whose vast bibliography includes one of my favorites, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_and_Stripes_tr ilogy

Not mentioned in the wiki article is the Real Key change, the accidental death of the Union Army head of ordnance, who was conservative on technology, allowing the Army to buy Henry repeaters & Gatling guns, a quantum jump in military tech.

The Stainless Steel Rat series is a classic of comedy & dirty tricks.

End off topic author discussion. Thank you for your patience.

You might have noticed Xi, the New Emperor of China, has both declared himself the God King ( Muslims in reeducation camps are told to not thank Allah, but Xi for their lives. ) and his own political immortality, ( no more term limits, and if you think Chinese have real elections, I've got some great deals on cars from Carolina.... ) and criminal any joke about him.

Xi might nuke LA, but he can't win a trade war. America might suffer if we have to give up Dollar Store party supplies. China would collapse in a sea of blood, if we did.

Coarse is an opinion of his presentation.

"Direct". In today's world, that's seen as a bad thing ("coarse"). But, as we can see with NoKo, China, Iran, Israel...it gets things done. Pussyfooting around and being wishy-washy all the time makes you a laughing stock with other parts of the world, who aren't as obsessed with identity-politic crap.

Screw the ass-kissing, let's get some stuff DONE.
