ALWAYS WORKING FOR OTHERS! DEMOCRAT SENATORS FOCUS ON CORONAVIRUS IN GAZA ....... Not in America!

While Americans Die, Democrat Senators Focus on Coronavirus in Gaza

 

Insane.
While Americans are dying, Senator Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Patrick Leahy, Chris Van Hollen, Tom Udall, Jeff Merkeley, Sherrod Brown, and Thomas Carper, dispatched a letter demanding that the US fight coronavirus... in Gaza.
Gaza, with a population of approximately 1.8 million people and one of the most densely populated areas of the world, has a weak public health system, and has been subject to a blockade and border restrictions... Altogether, these conditions, if compounded by a COVID-19 outbreak in the region, would further endanger the health of Palestinians in the coastal enclave
To summarize, Gaza, which is run by Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group, doesn't have a coronavirus outbreak.
Sanders and Warren don't give a damn about America which does, but they want to send money to terrorists.
They're demanding that we go back to funding UNRWA, which is basically Hamas, and clamoring, "what steps is the Administration taking or planning to help provide the Palestinian people with access to adequate medicine, medical equipment, personnel, and other resources to combat the threat of a major coronavirus health crisis?"
How about we get enough ventilators and masks for American health care workers before we go help Hamas?

Pelosi is also mulling a rollback of the SALT taxes, which would be nothing short of a giveaway to millionaires. And by the giveaway, it would be something of a $620 billion tax cut for them. Remember, this is the party of the working people, or so they say, and a part of me hopes she goes aggressive on this, so we can see Bernie Sanders gum up the Democratic works for a bit. 



Why the rich favor the Democrats



There's little doubt that today's Democrat Party is the party of the rich.  Actually, that's an understatement.  Far more than billionaires are involved.  A better expression of reality would be to say a fundamental core of Democrat coalition is the managerial class, also known as the elite.  These are the people who run the media, Hollywood and the entertainment industry, the big corporations, the universities and schools, the investment banks, and Wall Street.  They populate the upper levels of government bureaucracies.  These are the East and West Coasters. 
The alliance of the affluent with the Democrat Party can be seen in the widely disproportionate share of hefty political donations from the well-to-do going to Democrats and a bevy of left-wing causes.  It's also why forty-one out of the fifty wealthiest congressional districts are represented by Democrats. 
BLOG: DEMS LOVE SOCIALISM FOR ILLEGALS TO KEEP THEM COMING AND BREEDING ANCHOR BABIES FOR WELFARE AND SOCIALISM FOR BANKS. TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF IT!
 Bernie Sanders is an exception.  But he's an anomaly viewed as dangerous to the party, which is why he's being crushed by the Democrat establishment. 
Why do the wealthy align with the Democrats?  The answer may seem counter-intuitive, but it is really quite simple.  It's surely not ideals or high-minded principles.  Nor is it ignorance.  Rather, it boils down to raw self-interest.  
In his book, The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties, Christopher Caldwell notes that rich Americans think themselves to be as vulnerable as blacks.  They are a relatively small minority of the population.  They fear being resented for their wealth and power and of having much of that taken from them.  Accordingly, the wealthy seek to protect what is theirs by preventing strong majorities from forming by using the divide and conquer principle. 
As R.R. Reno writes when reviewing Caldwell's book: "Therefore, the richest and most powerful people in America have strong incentives to support an anti-majoritarian political system."  He goes on: "Wealthy individuals shovel donations into elite institutions that incubate identity politics, which further fragments the nation and prevents the formation of majorities."
Some of the rotten fruit of the wealthy taking this approach include multiculturalism, massive immigration of diverse people, resistance to encouraging assimilation, racial strife, trying to turn white males into pariahs, and the promotion of gender confusion.  Through it all, society is bombarded with the Orwellian mantra that "diversity is strength," as if repeating it often enough can make it so.  It is also why patriotism and a common American culture are so disparaged today.  Those from the upper strata of society project the idea that if you're a flag-waving American, you must be some kind of retrograde mouth-breathing yokel.  
The wealthy as a groups are content to dissolve the glue that holds the U.S. together.  And it is all done to enhance and preserve their power, wealth, and influence.  This is why they so hate Donald Trump.  He strives to unite people and the country, although you'd never know that that is what the president is doing  if you live in the media bubble.  Trump's MAGA agenda is an anathema to the managerial class.
To quote Reno one final time:
The next decade will not be easy.  But it will not be about what preoccupied us in the sixties, and which Caldwell describes so well.  Rather than the perils of discrimination we are increasingly concerned with the problem of disintegration — or in Charles Murray's terms, the problem of "coming apart."
Trump and the GOP he is molding are the vehicles to restore and strengthen national solidarity.  Trump said at the Daytona 500, "No matter who wins, what matters most is God, family, and country."  That is not the Democrat agenda.  As seen in Democrat politicians, their policies, and the behavior of their major contributors, the aim is to further weaken the social and national bonds in America.  There is a lot at stake here.  If solidarity wins, the Republic can survive and prosper.  If the Democrats and their wealthy cohorts do, then the middle class withers, the Republic dies, and the rich and their managerial class get to rule the roost.  That is what it comes down to.
ALL BILLIONAIRES ARE DEMOCRATS. ALL BILLIONAIRES WANT WIDER OPEN BORDERS, AMNESTY AND HELL NO TO E-VERIFY!

In addition, establishment Republicans are no better than Democrats at stemming the flow of illegal immigration because big businesses reap the benefits of this cheap labor without incurring any of the social costs.

This is why the SEIU supports blanket amnesty for illegal aliens.


Democrats: The Party of Big Labor, Big Government...and Big Business

 

There is a widespread perception that the Democrat Party is the party the working class and the Republican Party is the party of big business.  Even though Republicans on average received slightly more from corporate employees prior to 2002, the overall difference between both parties from 1990 to 2020 is statistically insignificant (Table 1).  In fact, Democrat reliance on big labor gradually shifted toward big business following the involvement of solidly Democrat corporate giants in 2002, and from 2014 to 2020, Democrats consistently surpassed Republicans in corporate donations (Tables 1 & 2).
Based on data compiled by Open Secrets, Soros Fund Management, Fahr LLC (Tom Steyer), and Bloomberg LP ranked among the top ten for political contributions that gave over 90% to Democrats.  In sharp contrast, the right-leaning Koch Industries made the top ten only in 2014.  In nearly all other years, Koch ranked well below the top twenty.
Whether or not this trend is long-term, there is no denying that large corporations on average no longer lean right.  But what does it mean to be "the party of big business"? Donations are not definitive evidence.  What ultimately matters is what politicians do once they get elected.
Many liberals believe that big government is needed to "rein in" big business and that in the absence of federal intervention, corporations will "run roughshod" over the average American.  Many liberals also believe that corporations are the main beneficiaries of laissez-faire economics and that free-market conservatives who want to scale back regulations are somehow "in the pocket" of big business.
In reality, the opposite is true: big business and big government 
go hand in hand because government meddling in the economy 
encourages rent-seeking by businesses that can afford to pay 
for the lobbyists.  This crony capitalism grew exponentially as 
a result of New Deal regulations that squeezed out competitors 
during the 1930s.  Establishment politicians and well 
connected corporations are beneficiaries of the myth that big 
government and big business are adversaries because it hides 
their unholy alliance.
In all fairness, neither party has had a monopoly on the dispensation of corporate welfare: the TARP funds that propped up financial institutions deemed "too big to fail" during the Great Recession were released by the Bush administration.  In addition, establishment Republicans are no better than Democrats at stemming the flow of illegal immigration because big businesses reap the benefits of this cheap labor without incurring any of the social costs.
If both parties are playing this game, what is the basis for labeling the Democrat party "the party of big business"?  What policies from Republicans support small business?
Free-market conservatism benefits small businesses because the government does not pick the winners and losers by means of subsidies, tax breaks, and cumbersome regulations.  You will not see policies like these coming from Washington in a major way because proposals for shrinking the federal government rarely see the light of day in Congress.
Based on data collected by Gallup and Thumbtack, red states far outscore blue states in small business friendliness (Table 3).  This may be why less affluent Americans are fleeing states that score abysmally like CaliforniaIllinoisNew York, and Hawaii.  This might also be why small business–owners are more likely to vote Republican.
The Trump administration has been good for businesses of all sizes mainly due to the unprecedented rate at which it scaled back stifling regulations.  This may be why some of the president's highest approval ratings now come from small businesses.
Donald Trump set himself apart from the ruling class when he latched onto the third-rail issue of illegal immigration and called out the corporate darling Jeb Bush (AKA "Low Energy Jeb") for his lack of grassroots support.  This may explain in part why Bain Capital, the firm co-founded by Mitt Romney, switched teams and contributed solidly Democrat in 2018.  In 2012, Democrats accused Bain Capital of destroying jobs by systematically dismantling the companies it bought off.  Times have changed...
Small businesses generate well over half of all new jobs.  Most importantly, many are family-owned, have strong ties to their communities, and provide upward mobility for millions of Americans who never attended college.  The Democrats' undermining of this quintessentially American institution is shameful and disqualifies it as the "party of the working class."  Contributions from big labor do not count toward "labor-friendliness" because mega-unions care more about recruitment than about the welfare of working Americans.  This is why the SEIU supports blanket amnesty for illegal aliens.
Democrats fed up with the corporate status quo are now choosing their own anti-establishment candidate, not realizing that socialism is just a more impoverished version of the crony capitalism they are rejecting.  Many Sanders-supporters are also morally shallow because they want to harness the power of the state to muscle in on the wealth of Americans who borrowed responsibly and worked hard to pay their bills.
After the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin said, "This Constitution ... is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in despotism ... when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government."  If Democrats implement the dystopian policies of California on a national level, their corporate allies will do fine.  It is small business–owners and working-class Americans with nowhere to flee who have the most to lose. Be careful what you wish for.

Grim Reaper Mitch to Pelosi: I'm Going to Kill Your Stimulus Plan


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just got some bad news from Mitch McConnell. Any talk about another stimulus isn’t going to happen. She may draft a bill, but it’ll meet a swift death in the Republican-controlled Senate. Mitch is the legislative grim reaper for most of what the Democratic House sends his way (via The Hill):
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hit the brakes Tuesday on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) plan to move ahead with a fourth stimulus package that would include major infrastructure spending and other Democratic priorities.
“I think we need to wait a few days here, a few weeks, and see how things are working out,” McConnell said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
“Let’s see how things are going and respond accordingly,” he added. “I’m not going to allow this to be an opportunity for the Democrats to achieve unrelated policy items that they would not otherwise be able to pass.”
McConnell's remarks came the same day that President Trump encouraged Congress to pass a $2 trillion infrastructure bill as the next piece of coronavirus legislation.
Pelosi is also mulling a rollback of the SALT taxes, which would be nothing short of a giveaway to millionaires. And by the giveaway, it would be something of a $620 billion tax cut for them. Remember, this is the party of the working people, or so they say, and a part of me hopes she goes aggressive on this, so we can see Bernie Sanders gum up the Democratic works for a bit. There is no way a hardcore lefty would back this nonsense. Yet, there’s another reason why Mitch isn’t rushing on the House Democrats’ stimulus reloaded plans. They’re off. They won’t be back to work until April 20. And The Hill added that Mitch hasn’t forgotten about judges, adding that the Kentucky Republican’s motto is “leave no vacancy behind.”

San Francisco is a disaster about which Nancy Pelosi she cares nothing.  It is a city ravaged by drug abuse, homelessness, rampant crime and all the other scourges of leftism.  She lives extravagantly in her gated mansion.  She lives a life of wealth and privilege in city suffering a civilizational collapse created and orchestrated by 
her own party.  She revels in it.  She has become a near-billionairess by way of politics of the most corrupt variety.  She is indeed a cancer on the body politic. PATRICIA McCARTHY

 

 

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS NOW THE LA RAZA SUPREMACY GLOBALIST DEMOCRAT PARTY FOR BILLIONAIRES, BANKSTERS AND WIDER OPEN BORDERS THE BILLIONAIRES DEMAND TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED!

 

The Democrat party is now becoming near exclusive home of the ruling class, as can be borne out by recent Congressional elections. 

 

Ruling Class Held Hostage by Trump’s Impeachment


Every year 3 million visitors make the pilgrimage to Ellis Island.  It is estimated nearly forty percent of all Americans can trace their ancestors to the 20 million immigrants that were processed through New York and Ellis Island from 1892 to 1954.  These prospective citizens were determined to escape authoritarianism, soul grinding poverty, war and its aftermath, immutable class structures as well as religious and ethnic persecution.  
Once here they would immerse themselves in learning English and the nation’s founding documents in preparation for the most gut wrenching (passing the oral citizenship test) and emotional (the swearing in ceremony) day in their lives.  Thanks to their life experience and their determination to be citizens of the only nation in the history of mankind to be founded on the principle that all men are created equal, these newly minted Americans were among the most loyal and most well-versed in the nation’s founding.
What would the vast majority of those that willingly left everything behind to travel for up to three weeks, oftentimes across a storm-tossed ocean and relegated to the unsanitary and wretched conditions in steerage, think of the impeachment of Donald Trump?
Nearly all of the nations whence these immigrants came were governed by an immutable class structure.  At the apex of this rigid class pyramid was either a monarchy and its attendant birthright nobility or a dictatorship and its coercive administrative hierarchy or a communist oligarchy and its implacable bureaucracy.   Class mobility was at the whim and discretion of the autocrat or the oligarchy.
These nameless and faceless masses had virtually no say in their nation’s governance and they were at the mercy of the economic and foreign policy of the ruling elites.   They were viewed as being grossly inferior, uneducable and deplorable -- thus mere pawns to be sacrificed in the country’s wars and were little more than indentured servants to the ruling class. 
On the other hand, thanks to a Constitution constructed to prevent the ascendancy of any one faction into a position of permanent power and the evolution of a rigid ruling class hierarchy, the United States possessed the framework and opportunity for anyone to succeed and live in peace and economic security thus attracting millions to its shores.
However, beginning in the 1960’s many of those that came through Ellis Island began to notice a change in the relatively benign and Constitution-oriented governing class.  With the exponential growth of government, a new and potentially destructive class structure began to evolve, one that was reminiscent of ruling class supremacy in those nations they had escaped. 
A mindset, alien to 170 years of American history, took root amid overwhelming peace and prosperity.   A growing faction in the country began to believe that they were pre-ordained to govern as they were superior to the unwashed masses, particularly racial and ethnic minorities as well as those steeped in religion and morality.  Over the years the proponents of this belief infiltrated the universities and the media-entertainment complex creating an ever-growing army of narcissists and authoritarians which mutated into today’s American Ruling Class.
Angelo Codevilla writing in the American Spectator identified the characteristics of the American Ruling Class as follows:
Today’s ruling class, from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as taste and habits.  Regardless of what business or profession they are in, their road up included government channels and government money because, as government has grown, its boundary with the rest of American life has become indistinct.  Many began their careers in government and leveraged their way into the private sector.
Its attitude is key to understanding our bipartisan ruling class.  Its first tenet is that “we” are the best and brightest while the rest of Americans are retrograde, racist, and dysfunctional unless properly constrained.
Our ruling class’s agenda is power for itself.  While it stakes its claims through intellectual-moral pretense, it holds power by one of the oldest and most prosaic of means: patronage and promises thereof.  Like left-wing parties always and everywhere, it is a “machine,” that is, based on providing tangible rewards to its members.  Hence our ruling class’s standard approach to any and all matters, its solution to any and all problems, is to increase the power of the government-- meaning of those who run it, meaning themselves.
By taxing and parceling out more than a third of what Americans produce through regulations that reach deep into American life, our ruling class is making itself the arbiter of wealth and poverty.
The ruling class is keener to reform the American people’s family and spiritual lives than their economic and civic ones. It believes that the Christian family (and the orthodox Jewish one too) is rooted in and perpetuates the ignorance commonly called religion that is the greatest barrier to human progress.  This dismissal of the American people’s intellectual, spiritual, and moral substance is the very heart of what our ruling class is about.
[Lastly,] America’s best and brightest believe themselves qualified and duty bound to direct the lives of not only Americans but of foreigners as well.  Its default solution to international threats has been to commit blood and treasure to long-term, twilight efforts to reform the world’s Vietnams, Somalias, Iraqs and Afghanistans.
Since the Reagan era, the American Ruling Class has succeeded in electing George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, all of whom were members in good standing.  Thus, by 2016 the ruling elites were thoroughly entrenched and dominant throughout the halls of power.  They were prepared to govern this nation for many years to come as one of the flaws in the magnificent governing blueprint set up by the founding fathers was the reality that this government can only function with just two major political parties.  Both political party hierarchies had and fully intended to continue nominating candidates for the presidency and Congress who were either beholden to or members of the ruling class.  The rank and file voters were left with only superficial differences in the choice of candidates.
The election of Donald Trump in 2016 was an act of defiance and a rebellion by the deplorables and a devastating blow to the ruling elites.   With his election, President Trump began the process of a Republican Party divorce from the establishment -- which is now well underway.   Thus, the ruling class’s political hegemony is severely threatened.   They cannot achieve their endgame without de facto control of both parties.  Which is why Donald Trump may well be the most influential President in modern American history.
The Democrat party is now becoming near exclusive home of the ruling class, as can be borne out by recent Congressional elections.  Before the 2018 mid-term elections, the richest 66 House districts were split 38 Democrats and 28 Republican.  After the election the Democrats held 56 and the Republicans 10 In the 15 districts where at least 50% of the population have a college degree, all are represented by Democrats as of 2018, whereas the Democrats controlled 13 of 15 in 2016.

Nancy Pelosi: Cancer on the body politic


"Nancy Pelosi is a cancer on the body politic."
Those are the words of Mark Levin and he is profoundly correct.  It is actually an understatement.  This woman has dedicated her entire recent term to impeaching President Trump over a phone call.  She stupidly bought into Adam Schiff’s lunacy that they had the evidence that the president had threatened the president of Ukraine with a quid pro quo -- either investigate the Clinton campaign’s meddling in the 2016 election or else.  None of that was true, any more than the Russia collusion hoax, but Pelosi still gambled that she could take out Trump with that phony ploy. It was Biden who threatened Ukraine with an actual quid pro quo -- either fire the man investigating my son or lose a billions dollars in U.S. aid.  
Then came the Wuhan virus.  Oh my, were the Democrats thrilled.  This would be the crisis they could use, manipulate to their desired end.  This is how utterly stupid these Democrats are!  This is how malicious they are; they are ready and willing to  destroy the United States economy to take down a president they abhor.  Why do the loathe him so?  Because he is effective and successful.  The American people, those not members of the political/academic class, love this man.  They love him for a myriad of good reasons. Chief among them is that he recognizes and respects them, unlike the partisans of the left who view most Americans as nothing more than flotsam and jetsam, inconveniences they must tolerate.  So superior to the worth of most citizens do the likes of  those who inhabit Pelosi’s circle of pals see themselves, they suffer no unease over dismissing us as invalid.  That so many of us love and revere President Trump makes us all the more worthy of their dripping disdain. 
Nancy Pelosi is a blight upon her district.  San Francisco is a disaster about which she cares nothing.  It is a city ravaged by drug abuse, homelessness, rampant crime and all the other scourges of leftism.  She lives extravagantly in her gated mansion.  She lives a life of wealth and privilege in city suffering a civilizational collapse created and orchestrated by her own party.  She revels in it.  She has become a near-billionairess by way of politics of the most corrupt variety.  She is indeed a cancer on the body politic.
How do sentient people watch her on any of the many cable news programs on which she appears listen to her blather and lies?  She accuses the president of “fiddling while people are dying.” What nonsense.  He was on the case while she was obsessed with impeaching him!  He banned flights from China in January, created a task force to address the virus but the left-media did not notice.  She was encouraging the people of San Francisco to join the crowd in Chinatown to celebrate Chinese New Year in late February!  She and Schiff et al were so were obsessed with impeaching him they ignored the Wuhan virus completely.  It was as though they actually thought they could remove him from office!  That is how deluded they are.  Pelosi still is.  She shows up all over cable TV with her surgically-modified, botoxed face, her red lipstick reminiscent of  the RuPaul’s drag queen show and expects that Americans will pay attention to anything she has to say. She has become a joke, a punchline. 
Anyone paying attention to anything Pelosi has to say at this moment in time is mentally challenged.  That would be the same people who think Joe Biden is a viable candidate for the presidency, a man so obviously in the throes of dementia it is a mystery why no one, especially his wife, has not put a stop to his campaign.  Biden is pathetic, always a man of little or no character -- and a racist.  What he did to Clarence Thomas with relish was obscene, a window into his inner depravity.  At this point in time, Biden is no more presidential material than Lenny of Mice and Men.  Joe Biden is as much a cancer on the body politic as Nancy Pelosi.  He is a shallow empty suit who has long enjoyed and abused the power vested in him as a senator.  He is also a creep. He fondles and sniffs women and girls so chronically he should probably be on the sex offender registry.  And this is the man the Democrat party is running as their candidate for the presidency!
What the Democrat party has become is a tragedy for America.  We need to be a two-party nation, with each seeking adherence to the Constitution.  But over the eight years of the Obama administration and his commitment to transforming America, the Democrat party was indeed transformed.  It is now fully socialist and authoritarian, anti-First Amendment, anti-Second Amendment, anti-freedom and anti-Constitutional.  The left has no tolerance for persons who are pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-capitalism, pro-liberty.  The economic system that has brought untold millions out of poverty is their enemy.  They want and lobby for the dependency of the masses who they believe will be certified democrat voters.  Our left has been transformed into a vicious mob of anti-American fascists.  Elect or re-elect any of them to office and we will get what we deserve, a nightmare of unimaginable proportions.  Pelosi and her ilk are not only certifiably insane, they are well and truly evil.  Their intentions for the wealth and sanctity of this nation as founded are malicious. She and her fellow elitists could not care less for the citizens they were elected to represent.  This is why they are unable to grasp why so many of us love this president; he does care about all the folks they disregard – all those people who are bringing food to our markets, stocking the shelves, still picking up our trash, taking care of those who are sick across the nation.  This pandemic crisis has demonstrated for all to see that the  American left is as much an enemy of America as China.
