Jeffrey Epstein FAQ

I’ll keep this short. I fear there is much more to the story. What happened on his island? His airplane? His ranch in New Mexico? Have the rich and powerful done anything wrong? Have the rich and powerful been blackmailed and compromised? What don’t we know?

Where are the Epstein flight manifests? Who flew to Little Saint James Island?

So, what’s the deal with Little Saint James Island?

What’s the deal with Ray Chandler / Rachel Chandler?

This is where it goes in many different directions and only you can decide what you are willing to believe about the world we live in. Some say this is all a conspiracy theory. Some say it’s just the tip of the iceberg and there is much that we don’t know and will never know.

This is just one of many sources that is worth reading and considering. Decide for yourself if you want to do your own research and formulate your own thoughts and beliefs or walk away and ignore this information.

2019 Impeachment Inquiry Investigation Coup Attempt

I put the year because I am assuming another coup attempt will follow the current attempt.

This is my attempt to sort through the clutter and make sense of what is going on in Congress these days regarding whether or not formal Articles of Impeachment will be approved by a majority of the House of Representatives.

CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

Article 1, Section 2 of the United States Constitution states that the House of Representatives, “… shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”

Article 1, Section 3 of the United States Constitution states that the Senate, “… shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.” and , “… no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the members present.”

IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES

There is no clear definition that I can find for high crimes and misdemeanors. Essentially, an impeachable offense need not be a crime and all crimes are not impeachable offenses. We are to trust the House of Representatives to define what is an impeachable offense and if a majority agree that a specific act is an impeachable offense, then formal Articles of Impeachment will pass and be sent to the Senate for trial.

There is agreement and precedent that the impeachable act must occur while in office. If you rob a bank prior to taking office, it may result in criminal charges, but it is not an impeachable offense. How about that?

OPINION

My first takeaway is that when talking heads and news media starting talking up the idea of impeachment within days of the 2016 presidential election, they were either completely ignorant of what impeachment is and how it works, or they knew and they didn’t care. See the tweet above written by the attorney for the alleged whistle blower that began the current round of impeachment fervor among the brainwashed masses.

It is safe to say that a good portion of the country suffers from what some refer to as Trump Derangement Syndrome. So much of the news media has been on a full-court press against Donald Trump since before the 2016 election that it is obvious that there is swamp (deep state, shadow government, etc.) and we are watching in real-time as more and more people wake up to this reality.

My second takeaway is that when HONORABLE Representative Adam Schiff read into the Congressional Record the contents of a phone call that doesn’t exist, any person with any intelligence at all would think to themselves, “If Donald Trump did something wrong on that phone call with the Ukrainian president, why not just read the transcript of the actual phone call?” For me, that was all the proof I needed that Schiff will make anything and do anything to get President Trump removed from office.

If you have only heard about what was said on that phone call, please do yourself a favor and read the transcript for yourself. What Adam Schiff read in this video beginning at 4:15 was pure fiction. He is not defending our democracy. He is making a mockery of it. If you think you see any quid pro quo in that transcript, I would love to hear from you. I’m not a lawyer, but I haven’ been able to figure out what this entire impeachment inquiry is about.

If you want to see a document that does include quid pro quo, read this document.

https://www.foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/5-4-18%20Menendez%20joint%20letter%20to%20General%20Prosecutor%20of%20Ukraine%20on%20Mueller%20investigation.pdf

I will be very surprised if this comical impeachment inquiry results in formal Articles of Impeachment being sent to the Senate.

I am not surprised at the political theater that we are being subjected to. For sure, this will convince some people to not vote for Donald Trump in 2020 and/or to get and vote for someone else.

They think the American people are stupid and will fall for this. Sadly, that is true of some. I believe I can at least see the difference between political theater and a real government executing the will of the people.

I have spoken with many people about this and too many of them simply aren’t aware that we live in a world where truly evil people are in charge. They project the goodness inherent in themselves onto other people who are not worthy of that projection.

I believe that we are going to see criminal charges for people from “No Scandals” Obama presidency and that what we are watching, in real-time, is guilty people who know that justice is on their doorstep and their only way out is to remove President Trump from office and install someone that will sweep their crimes under the rug.

Hillary Clinton was supposed to be that person. She’s not. She never will be. They are desperate for someone.

Pop your popcorn. This is going to be a good show.

Freedom of Speech – Is It Still a Thing?

I started this blog because I am tired of social media and the mainstream media suppressing those they disagree with and bombarding us with their false narratives.

Everybody has the right to their own opinions.

Everybody should be able to express those opinions in a respectful way without fear.

The government is charged with protecting our constitutional right of free speech.

It’s very clear that corporations such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, and others have engaged in suppression of free speech. Deplorable.

On March 25, 2019, I posted this on Twitter.

https://twitter.com/RemainSilentNO/status/1110241401197846528

The link went to a video of this statement by President Trump.

I received a few likes.

Someone commented and asked me if I really believe that Donald Trump speaks the truth. He, you see, was an Adam Schiff supporter and his opinion was that Adam Schiff is really an honest guy who stands up for America. He was a big fan.

I happen to think Adam Schiff is one of the most dishonest people in Congress. But, I didn’t argue with this guy. I answered his questions and I asked him a few and we politely agreed to disagree.

On Twitter. Two strangers. Agreed to disagree. Doesn’t sound real, does it? It happened.

Today, I went back that post to see who that guy was. I wanted to write him a message and get his opinion about Robert Mueller testifying next month after he was subpoenaed.

I clicked on the link I posted and got this.

Then, I noticed the Likes were gone.

The comments were gone.

I don’t care about how many likes or how many comments. What I liked was that I could have a conversation with somebody I don’t agree with and Twitter made that possible.

The entire conversation with that Adam Schiff guy is gone along with comments from a few others that followed the conversation and jumped in here and there.

So, I’m not sure why @jack is afraid of a guy with 18 followers and a picture a bald eagle standing in front of an American flag looking pissed, but there you go.

So, I retweeted me with a mundane response. Freedom of speech matters. Twitter, a company that has made billions of dollars allowing free speech for some stomps their fascist boot on the throats of those who don’t believe what they are supposed to believe.

I doubt if 18 people even see this and that’s not the point.

The news now is that social media companies have declared war on “hate speech”, which sounds pretty good. The only problem is that there is no definition of hate speech other than the fact that they block or shut down or de-monitize accounts due to hate speech and the only common denominator is that they don’t support Democrat, liberal, progressive, communist, socialist, fascist, etc. opinions.

So, the definition of hate speech is anybody who I don’t agree with is guilty of hate speech. No opportunity to be innocent until proven guilty because it’s not a court of law. It’s a website owned by a corporation that can do what they want.

Doesn’t hurt me financially. I am not making any money for this blog and I shouldn’t. I only post when I have the time.

I’m disgusted by this activity, but I am also not surprised. This is the whole reason my eagle is pissed off in the first place.

So, up this goes on my blog.

And on Twitter with a link to my blog.

I’m interested to see what happens. More to come?

The Green New Deal Pricetag

It’s been a few months since Alexandria Optional-Cortex declared war on airplanes and cow farts when she unveiled her vast plan to save the world for only about $93 trillion dollars with her Green New Deal before it explodes in 12 years. Well, now it’s down to 11 years and 9 months. Anyway, I’ve been mostly rolling around on the floor laughing since then. I did stop a few times to eat, but then I start giggling again and back on the floor I go. I used to watch late night talk shows for enjoyment, but the new Democrat party is more fun. If my employer is reading this, I was working really hard all this time.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/109/text

We had to watch hours of coverage and read numerous articles about the Modern Monetary Theory and how you can just print more money and how printing more money steals purchasing power from foreigners and taxpayers to pay for government spending. That’s cute unless you have a problem with the value of the dollars that are in your wallet right now being decreased exponentially to the point where you need to go get a few billion of them to buy a banana at the grocery store. Let me rephrase. That’s cute unless you have a problem with politicians and the federal government who are EMPLOYEES OF YOURS stealing all your money and telling you to trust them. They will make sure you have everything you need. Trust them? Don’t trust them. Trust me when I say that.

Then, we had to listen to Alexandria Optional-Cortex explain to everybody that hasn’t put forth their own environmental ideas that until they do, “I’m the boss.” Holy crap. An elected representative. An employee of the citizens of this nation. She is so dumb that she thinks she’s the boss. You know, like when a five-year-old is put in charge of another five-year-old and tells them, “Daddy said I’m the boss.” I don’t really know what to say about all this. I’m actually kind of speechless other than to say, “You’re not the boss of me.”

To be fair, I’m making fun of her, but she’s not dumb. She was awarded second place in the 2007 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and has an asteroid named after her. Dumb people don’t do things like that, but my opinion is the same. The Green New Deal is ridiculous in so many ways. Can we do better in taking care of the planet we are borrowing from our grandchildren? Of course, and we should. The debate is how that happens and the Green New Deal just makes no sense.

https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=23238

Now, Elizabeth Warren has now decided that she needs to be even more hilarious than Optional-Cortex. She now wants to spend $100 trillion dollars for a huge list of things designed to fix all our problems.

https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/warren-attacking-police-and-100-trillion-in-spending/

So, I had three thoughts.

1) Oh shit! What is Corey Booker going to do to be even more hilarious than these two? Is that even possible?!? I’m afraid to find out, but I’m sure he’ll look mad while he’s announcing it. He just looks angry all the time to me. <insert New Jersey joke?> Good luck mean-mugging your way into the white house, dude.

2) How much money actually exists in the whole world? Do these kinds of numbers even make sense in any way.? Is there even a shred of reality in these ideas at all? Are they trying to see how dumb we are? I know that’s a lot of questions all in one thought but hey.

How much money is there? Do the Rockefeller’s have $93 trillion or $100 trillion they can lend us or what? I found out a few things about the money supply that I never knew before. There are four ways to count the money supply.

M0 and M1 represent coins and currency and items that can easily be converted into cash like a baseball card or selling your car for cash.

M2 represents M0 and M1 and short-term time-deposits in banks and some mutual funds. A time-deposit means what you think – basically a certificate of deposit.

M3 is all of that plus the value of stocks owned by banks and individuals. Things that can be liquidated if only there was more money in existence then there really is. There is also MZM and probably a whole lot of other information I didn’t uncover, but I got the basic idea and the answers for which I was looking.

Shut up and tell me how much already!!

According to the Federal Reserve website as of January 23, 2019, there is about $1.7 trillion U.S. dollars in circulation if you are counting only M0 and M1. I would have thought more given the fact that we have $22 trillion in debt, but OK. Pretty sure politicians are terrible at simple math and budgeting and I’m not an economist, so OK.

When you broaden it out to count how much M3 money (called broad money) there is in the world, the CIA world factbook indicates that there is approximately $80 Trillion in the entire world. So, to get that much money, we would have to convince everyone on the entire planet to give our federal government everything they have so Americans can supposedly live for free on the governments dime. Thanks for giving us everything you have. Good luck with your life. Hope you don’t die.

Then, we would just print the last $20 trillion, I guess. I wish I was making that up. That’s what Optional-Cortex’s idea is. Just print more. She sat there and said that out loud with a straight face. Again, I’m no genius and I’m no economist, but I don’t think that sounds right. If it was that simple wouldn’t we have done that a long time ago? Brown University, where she triple-majored in International Relations and Economics and Comedic Deadpan for Public Servants, must have taught her that Modern Monetary Theory will work. And here we are. Thanks, Brown University. Good job.

3) My third thought was this.

That is all.

Open Borders. Are you a True Believer?

I know that those who are still watching those media insurgency channels like CNN and MSNBC are convinced that nationalism is bad, borders are the problem, and that there is no difference between immigration and illegal immigration because a person can’t be illegal. That’s fine if you want to believe what you want to believe. Last I heard, it’s a free country for most of us.

I’m waiting for the day when these people will protest some of the actual problems in the world like human trafficking, female genital mutilation, terror, extreme gang violence. I also wonder when they will arm themselves with some facts about racism and xenophobia, etc. and get their argument right. Because those things do exist and they are a problem.

The good news, for those of us who don’t want America destroyed from within, is that these people are the minority. You wouldn’t know it if you passively “watch the news” and consider yourself informed. They are bashing President Trump, his policies, and our great nation and if you lose perspective and your grip on reality you may get the feeling that most American citizens believe all the racist, fascist, xenophobe accusations.

I could attempt to explain how liberal socialist policies are racist based on how the lives of minorities are so brutally, negatively affected in places where liberal policies have been in place for decades. Take a look at places like Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, and the shining shitty on the hill, San Francisco. But, I think most people understand.

I want to address the people who are somehow convinced that nationalism is a terrible thing. It makes me wonder – when these people go to a sporting event, do they root for the visiting team?

Have they thought about it and decided that they truly know what nationalism is and that they have a well thought out reason to be against it? I say no. I think it starts with their refusal to acknowledge that an immigrant can be an illegal immigrant. They act like anybody who wants border security and wants the laws of our nation enforced hates immigrants. That’s a ridiculous leap to make, but leap they do.

If you want unlimited immigration, you want the border to be wide open. I’ll make this as simple as I can.

1. You are in favor of an open border. You live in a house or an apartment. Do you lock your doors and windows at night when you go to sleep? Why or why not?

2. To take it a step further, if you leave your doors and windows unlocked, do you leave them opened or closed? Why or why not?

Wait. There’s more.

3. If you leave your doors unlocked and opened and your windows unlocked and opened, do you put a sign on your lawn that lets everybody know they are free to come into your house through any door or any window?

We live in a country where some people who want to leave all the windows and doors open on our country’s border and make sure the world knows they can jump the line ahead of all the other immigrants who are waiting to enter legally.

Why do they want this? Who knows? Ask them, but good luck getting an actual answer. I’m guessing they want to bring in people who are more likely to vote a certain way and they view these people as tools in the toolkit of political power.

I’m disgusted by anybody who does this or supports the idea. I say that only because I have never had someone who supports the idea tell me why they support it. They just do. My guess is that they are buying the propaganda and are following the liberal crowd.

But, my mind is opened on this. If somebody who supports this policy is willing to engage in a civil discussion where we are both armed with factual facts, I would love to have that conversation. I’d love to record it on video or audio and make it available to the world.

The U.S. Border Issue Explained

The fate of those who are crossing the southern border of the United States is a significant source of contention in politics today. I’d like to start at the beginning and share my thoughts.

I take a little time every day to keep up with whatever is in the news and I listen to all sides. I listen critically and with as much skepticism as I can muster because I want to find out some information and form an opinion that is my own. I do not want a news anchor or op ed to tell me what I should believe based on which “side” I’m on.

I am imperfect, but I do my best to stay on the side that is logical and best for the nation as a whole or the people affected vs. what is best for me or for a group of people with whom I identify.

There are many terms thrown around such as alien, immigrant, and refugee and I wonder if enough of us understand the differences and have enough of a foundation of knowledge to even form our own opinions.

All aliens are not immigrants and all immigrants are not aliens. Some can be both an alien and an immigrant.

An alien is someone who is not a citizen of the host country and is there to visit or stay for a while. If you overstay your visa, you are, by definition, an illegal alien.

An immigrant is someone who is not a citizen of the host country and relocates to live in the country. Once you become a citizen, you are no longer an alien. Once an immigrant, you will always be an immigrant. If you have chosen to enter the country without the proper registration and documentation, you are, by definition, an illegal immigrant.

A refugee is defined by The United Nations and is choosing to leave, or forced from their home country, due to fear (persecution, violence, political opinion, beliefs, human rights violations) or necessity (natural disaster, war).

So, who is coming across our border? The answer is that all of these are coming across our border and we need to deal with each individual situation correctly and legally. You can’t do that if you don’t take the time to document who they are, where they are coming from, what their intentions are, etc.

One group likes to point out that if you don’t have a strong border, you don’t have a nation. If you don’t have a nation, you don’t have citizens. If you don’t have citizens, you don’t have rights. I do agree with this.

Another group loves to answer questions about illegal entry into the nation by deflecting and saying that no human being is illegal and they won’t acknowledge that nobody is saying that the person is illegal. They are describing their actions as defined by the laws of the nation.

The sad thing is that when these people won’t answer a good question with a good answer, they are standing in the way of a solution while pretending that they care. They think we don’t see what they are doing. Here’s some advice – if you are going to go on television and discuss an issue, discuss the issue. Don’t waste our time. It doesn’t work. We’re not stupid. We are laughing at how stupid you are. Stop wasting good oxygen.

If you are driving without a driver’s license, you are driving illegally. If you have a driver’s license, you are driving legally. In either case, if you drive over the speed limit, you are breaking a law that, if enforced, comes with a judgment and a punishment. In no case are you, as a human being, illegal. However, your actions are what they are. It’s that simple.

When people on different sides of an issue can’t even find a common ground that is logical, you have nowhere to go. The problem can’t be solved because the two sides can’t have a meaningful conversation, let alone sit in a conference room and hammer out a solution. George Will, and perhaps others, refers to this as mutual incomprehension.

That is where we are in today’s political discourse and I am beyond disappointed and discouraged that our congressional leadership can’t find the time or the intestinal fortitude to engage in a meaningful discussion and solve this issue.

That is my interpretation of what is happening on our southern border, explained a simply as I am capable of.

But, there is something else. There is an industry built on human trafficking that is making the issue at the border worse and the news coverage in this country won’t tell this story.

What is really going on at our border? Human trafficking, sexual and human rights abuses, murder, exploitation, and profits are being made at the expense of real live human beings. This is being done without regard to the long-term effects it is having on these people and families.

How many stories have you heard about a truck load of dead immigrants found out in the desert in the American Southwest? If you heard these stories and weren’t sickened and didn’t stop and ask yourself how it happened, you are missing out on probably the most important aspect of this issue.

Living breathing human beings. Exploited for pleasure or profit by people who have no compassion for their fellow human beings. Those who are aware of the details and aren’t screaming it from the mountaintops should be ashamed.

It this is being politicized by our congressional leaders and our news media, journalists should be ashamed of themselves that they aren’t talking about this all day every day. They lack compassion for their fellow human beings and their level of journalistic integrity is microscopic. They can pretend to care all they want and cry on tv, but we know it’s theater.

Our leaders in congress are guilty of even more abhorrent behavior. If, as has been alleged, the Democrats are obstructing a solution to these issues because they want to politicize the issue during our mid-term elections, their lack of compassion is off the charts. If you really care about immigrants and refugees, care about protecting women and children, then do something immediately, if not sooner.

Republicans also spend time politicizing this issue and go back and forth about who did what when, did Obama put children in cages or did Trump put children in cages, etc. Their time would be better spent if they stopped joining in on the third grade finger-pointing and came up with a solution that ends the human suffering as soon as possible.

President Trump signed an executive order and, if challenged, I believe the Supreme Court would rule that he doesn’t have the authority to legislate with executive powers.

This issue can only legally be resolved by the U.S. Congress. Our Honorable representatives need to get to work.

Border Zero Tolerance Policy

This seems like the obvious thing to do when there are laws that tell you how to enforce a policy. I’m happy to see it finally happening. We can’t have a country where you only follow the laws you agree with.

There are those that will scream racism and many other disagreements with this policy.

Wait for it.

Let me make this extremely clear. Some of their points are valid. There are undocumented people who are here, have families, and you can make an argument that many of these people should be allowed to stay in our country as it is now their home. Our laws are not perfect. That is no excuse for those whose job is enforcement who have chosen not to do their jobs.

Congress, get to work. Secure this nation. Address DACA. Address DREAMers. Stop toying with the lives of living, breathing human beings.

Congress. Do. Your. Job.

These valid points need to be addressed by Congress and written into the law.

Then, those who enforce would enforce those new laws.

I applaud the Department of Justice finally supporting the rule of law. The people who are doing unbelievably thankless work on border security should now be allowed to more effectively do their jobs.

Obama DOJ funds socialism in Albania? Really? Why?

I’d like to know why our government would spend money on this.

The article indicates the judicial reform in Albania was the issue at hand. The article also says that the Obama administration, “… quietly spent at least $9 million … in direct collusion with left-wing billionaire George Soros’ backing of a socialist government in Albania.” As a taxpayer, I’m not happy that tax money goes towards backing socialism. Is that why the money was spent “quietly”?

This smells like corruption.

I hear and read a lot about George Soros being someone who works against America and funds activities that foment division in our country.

America is a constitutional republic, but I believe that our last President was our first Socialist president, so this is not a surprise.

To learn more about what George Soros does and why we helped fund socialism in Albania instead of spending that money dealing with issues at home (homelessness, opioids, infrastructure, national security, etc), I just signed up for numerous Open Society Foundations newsletters. Let the research begin!
