In the first thirty days of the Joseph R. Biden Jr. administration, the 46th President of the United States did some questionable things.

  1. Though not technically during his administration, the loyalty of American service members was questioned. National Guard troops in Washington were vetted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pentagon to ascertain whether or not they posed an insider threat to the Inauguration of the 46th President of the United States. I agree with Texas Governor Abbott, “this is the most offensive thing I’ve ever heard“ I also took the oath to serve my country and also find it outrageous.
  2. After signing Executive Orders to open our international borders and roll-back immigration policies of the 45th President, the White House started to discuss domestic travel restrictions as reported by the Miami Herald. Is this helpful to the citizens of the United States of America to let every non-citizen know if they can get across the border, they can stay? Restrict travel by law-abiding citizens, but send the signal to the non-citizen their violation of our laws will go unpunished?
  3. Rocket attacks by Iranian backed militia on US facilities in Irbil, Iraq are rewarded by the Joseph R. Biden administration by signalling the resumption of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the ‘Iran Deal.’ The death of a US contractor and the wounding of a US service member has no consequence – the Iranian government is clearly allowed to attack and kill Americans with impunity – what happens when they get their nuclear weapons?
  4. In a televised Town Hall, President Joseph R. Biden remarked, “not everybody in the community, in the Hispanic and African American community, particularly in rural areas that are distant and or are in inner city districts know how to use, know how to get online.” I believe this statement is the definition of a racial stereotype. Not only did the press NOT castigate President Joseph R. Biden for his overtly racist statement, the statement went unchallenged.
  5. In the same televised Town Hall when asked about human rights abuses in the Peoples Republic of China, President Joseph R. Biden responded, “culturally there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow.“ Nothing about how the Chinese Communist Party threw out the agreement with Great Britain about Hong Kong and the freedoms it would enjoy for the agreed upon 50 years. Nothing about the hundreds or thousands of missiles pointed at and threatening Taiwan. Nothing about bulldozing temples, churches and mosques. Nothing about forced human organ harvesting and nothing about the ongoing, well-documented genocide of the Uyghur people. Supposedly, we are to believe these things are just part of Chinese cultural norms. It is very hard to believe such a statement covering the bad behavior of the Chinese Communist Party came out of the mouth of the President of the United States.
In summary, the first thirty days of his administration do not indicate the 46th President of the United States is serving the best interests of the citizens of the United States.
  • Questioning the loyalty of our military members.
  • Placing travel restrictions on Americans, tell the rest of the world the border is open and we won’t send you back.
  • Rewarding Iran for rocket attacks on our overseas bases.
  • Declaring minorities are incapable of using the internet.
  • Ignoring how the world has been declaring the 21st century Uyghur genocide by calling it a ‘cultural norm.’

Lots of folks can say, “he’s not my President.” However, I swore an oath to uphold and defend the US Constitution and Joseph R. Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States on January 20th, 2021. He is the President of all the people of the United States of America whether or not you choose to admit it. He is my President although I did not vote for him or agree with his policies.

Recently, I posted a video on Fazebook relating the involvement of the Chinese Communist Party in mainstream media manipulation and political corruption.

Often seen on any posting disputing the mainstream media’s positions, these notices cherry pick an item from the video or text and use it to provide a warning of ‘False Information.’ These items include the news mainstream media doesn’t cover or are considered ‘conspiracy theories.’ It would not surprise me to find a ‘False Information’ warning on misspelled words.

The video shared was ‘fact checked’ and deemed ‘False Information.’ The ‘False Information was identified as “US Army Special Forces seized a CIA server in Germany.” Obviously, the ‘fact checker’ did not even listen to the video. Obviously, they are clutching at straws or working from a prepared list because the video says nothing about CIA servers, Special Forces or Germany.

Please listen to the video yourself and see why they are so desperate to sideline this information. Since the video is quite likely to be removed from Youtub, the video can also be accessed from Rumble on this link.

In a recent link shared on social media I found out that I am racist for owning a dog.
The author’s premise is that White Europeans stole the dogs that had been domesticated in Eurasia over 12,500 years ago. Providing this fact of the supposed heinous act is all the author needs to declare:

These filthy white savages took the work and credit from the Eurasian people and branded these magnificent creatures as their own.
And
If you are white and own a dog, you are openly participating and advocating for cultural appropriation and colonialism. Reinforcing this culture is NOT acceptable and will come with its repercussions.

Perhaps digging a little deeper into history would have informed the author that there were White people living throughout the Eurasian Steppe even before they domesticated dogs. They were Indo-Iranian, a subgroup of the Indo-Europeans. In a quick search I found a domesticated dog jawbone from Iraq dated 12,000 years ago and evidence of domesticated dogs in northern Switzerland 14,000 years ago.
Maybe the real answer has yet to be found, but clearly, this was a case where the conclusion was in search of a premise. A case where a flawed, ill-conceived premise was all that was needed to heap scorn and hatred upon fellow human beings.

Promoting the idea White people are racist for owning dogs (the title of the article,) is sad. It is sad because this human being has been lead to believe all White people are irredeemable parasites; incapable of their own achievements and having to steal from everyone else. If he believes this to be true, why does he also think anyone would believe what he wrote?
This is self loathing nonsense.
Cultures change and evolve. Cultural appropriation is supposed to be some form of crime, yet people learn new ideas and concepts from others making life better for everyone. I was taught imitation was the highest form of flattery; the copiers must find something useful and provide an acknowledgement that someone had a better idea. There is no victim.
As far as “colonialism,” I can only assume he was copying from the standard list of White People’s crimes and forgot to take out the ones that didn’t fit.

btw, will all the Black people owning dogs also be called out for cultural appropriation? What repercussions will they suffer?(asking for a friend)

I came across this meme:

This is a logical fallacy, implying those who do not support systemic change do not want peace and justice.
Rioting, by definition, is a “violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd.” Therefore, if people want the rioting to end, they do at least want peace.

Obviously, there is also the implied threat the rioting will continue until “systemic change is supported.” You used to hear there was “systemic racism” and now that has morphed into “systemic change.” Let no one be fooled; the system they want to change is our democratic republic. That sounds a lot like they will continue rioting until everyone supports their revolution.

My first reaction is to chuckle to think someone actually believes they can bully the citizens of the US of A into giving up our freedom for empty promises. What ever happened to rational, peaceful discussion? Isn’t violence the last refuge of the incompetent?

To play the victim role and say the only way things change is through revolution is just plain ignorant. Did Martin Luther King Jr achieve nothing? Americans are still free to speak their mind, communicate ideas, and elect representatives to legislative bodies to effect the changes they desire.

The real aim of this meme is to promote the idea you do not have these rights and to convince you revolution is the only path to a hopeful future.

[Subterfuge – deceit used in order to achieve one’s goals.]

A few words about justice-
Since we all have legal avenues to communicate ideas and make changes to the laws; the riots, public destruction and looting are against the law. Justice demands the perpetrators of these crimes be held responsible. Justice also demands an investigation into whether or not the public disturbances were organized acts of sedition.

Many people provide President Trump’s remarks after the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia as evidence he is/was a racist person. They most commonly put out the quote, “there were fine people on both sides” to prove their point. Unfortunately, the media hyped only part of what he said.

The following quote comes from the first paragraph of an article in The Atlantic (2017-08-15) entitled “Trump Defends White-Nationalist Protesters: ‘Some Very Fine People on Both Sides

President Trump defended the white nationalists who protested in Charlottesville on Tuesday, saying they included “some very fine people,” while expressing sympathy for their demonstration against the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

This commentary followed the President Trump’s third set of remarks.

As part of the carefully crafted media reaction, the presumption was that anyone demonstrating the removal of Robert E Lee’s statue was a Nazi. It did not matter if you were or not, the fact you had an opinion contrary to the politically correct view convicted you. From there, we are led to the understanding that everyone for the removal of the statue was one of the good guys, despite whatever attire you chose to hide your identity or the weapons to beat down the bad guys.

To spell it out, the “Punch a Nazi“ campaign was in full swing and anyone identified as a Nazi was fair game. The media aided the demonization of all the demonstrators so violence against anyone protesting the removal of the statue was not only permissible, it was applauded.
There was no excuse for the violence on either side.

President Trump delivered remarks on his signing of a bill on Saturday, August 12, 2017 and began his statement about the Charlottesville violence as follows:

“But we’re closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Va.. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. It’s been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This has been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America. What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives. No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society. And no child should ever be afraid to go outside and play or be with their parents and have a good time.”

And wrapped up with:

“Above all else, we must remember this truth, no matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are all Americans first. We love our country. We love our God. We love our flag. We’re proud of our country. We’re proud of who we are. So, we want to get the situation straightened out in Charlottesville, and we want to study it. And we want to see what we’re doing wrong as a country where things like this can happen. My administration is restoring the sacred bonds of loyalty between this nation and its citizens, but our citizens must also restore the bonds of trust and loyalty between one another. We must love each other, respect each other and cherish our history and our future together. So important. We have to respect each other. Ideally we have to love each other.

Some independent observers might think the statement was an attempt at uniting our country and condemning the violence. The problem was President Trump did not specifically condemn all the people protesting the removal of the statue by name. By failing to name and condemn the radical racist element, he was bucking the Punch A Nazi campaign and delegitimizing the media’s attempt to excuse the violence against all the people protesting to keep the statue.

Transcript

On Monday the 14th, President again spoke to the press and released a statement in which he said:

As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.

Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.

He also mentioned how our nation mourns for the losses of Heather Hayer, and the Virginia State troopers, Jay Cullen and Burke Bates.

On the 15th, the fireworks started after President Trump again addressed the violence in Charlottesville taking questions at Trump Tower in New York City.

If you notice, the LA Times transcript omits part of the first question concerning the Charlottesville violence:

The LA Times transcript starts with:
“QUESTION: … wait so long (inaudible)?”

Politifact provides the following in their transcript:

Reporter: “Let me ask you, Mr. President, why did you wait so long to blast neo-Nazis?”

Trump: “I didn’t wait long. I didn’t wait long.”

Reporter: “Forty-eight hours.”

Trump: “I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct — not make a quick statement. The statement I made on Saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement. But you don’t make statements that direct unless you know the facts. It takes a little while to get the facts. You still don’t know the facts. And it’s a very, very important process to me, and it’s a very important statement.

“So I don’t want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. I want to know the facts.

Later, the following question arises and provides the trap the media was hoping for:

Reporter: “The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest —”
Trump: “Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves — and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”

And here is the part the media did not report and shamefully ignored:

Trump: So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets, and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group.

So there it is. President Trump did not defend white nationalists or their beliefs, he condemned them.
