And you know what old Safe always says. If that's all you got, that's what you go with. And they got nothing. Absolutely nothing.
We let them try. We gave them eight years with the Kenyan as president. They had two years of absolute control of congress. And what did we get?
We got an economy that never grew over 2% any year. We got massive growth in welfare, food stamps, fake disability claims. We got consumer confidence at record lows. We got a dead stock market. We got record numbers of people out of the workforce. We got the national debt doubled.
We got lied to, finagled, cheated, robbed. We got massive illegal immigration. We got crime run rampant while the prisons were being emptied and the Kenyan was pardoning violent drug dealing felons right and left, by the thousands.
We got terrorism out of control, all while the Kenyan and the democrat/communists lectured us on islamaphobia.
We got men using the same bathroom as young girls. We got sexual perversion mainstreamed as perfectly fine. We got men who think they're women and women who think they're men serving in our military,dragging down the morale and the readiness of the finest fighting force in the world, all the while getting lectures about how we are a bunch of homophobes.
And on and on.
So now, we have a President who is fixing it. The economy is soaring. Jobs coming back. Hopefully a huge tax cut coming. Job killing regulations rolling back. Democrat/communists poison pills like the phony consumer protection agency getting gutted and killed. Taliban actually on the run, not just lies like the Kenyan told us.
And what do the democrat/communists do? Whine and screech and moan and groan and lie and lie some more and jump up and down waving their arms. When they aren't busy molesting women, that is.
No ideas. No proposals. Nothing. Nothing at all. Just do everything they can to stop the repair of all the damage they did. I listen to chuck shumer and I want to vomit. But that's all they got.
So let's keep Making America Great. Let's keep supporting our President. I know he isn't a "true conservative" as defined by some, but he's doing a hell of a job. So I'm sticking with him. We gave the "true conservatives" a shot as well. They didn't do much better. So I'm putting my money on President Donald Trump. And by the time his first term is over, it will be like Reagan. He will win a second term overwhelmingly.

Kevin said it best on the last comment on the last blog
What's worse than coming back to work after a vacation? Nothing.
I wasn't on vacation but a four day weekend feels like it. And now back to the coal mine. But retirement is looming in my future. Eight short months and I'm outta here. Seems like forever but it isn't.
Anyway, what's happening in the world? Pretty much the same stuff. Godless left wingers hating America, Donald Trump, freedom, each and every one of us and everything else good and holy. But that's just every day stuff.
President Donald Trump? Still winning. The economy is booming like crazy. Record stock market returns. Record job growth. Record low unemployment. Consumer confidence up. Businesses feeling like the boot of government is lifting off their neck at long last. The dark days are over and it's morning in America again.
Will we get tax reform? We better. If we don't all this could grind to a halt. And that's exactly what the democrat/communist party is wanting.
But Safe, why would the democrat/communist party want to see our economy sink back into the stagnation and misery we experienced when the Kenyan was President? Glad you asked. Simple. The democrat/communist party doesn't want America to do what we've always done. Solve our own problems. Put people to work, create prosperity. Reduce poverty by growing the economy. Remember the Reagan years? That's what happened. Despite the lying godless left claims to the contrary, that's what happened.
But the godless left wants more and more people dependent on the government. Squeeze the shrinking number of working people to pay for the growing number of welfare mooches. That's their dream. Create voters by buying them with our money. That's never changed.
I'll leave you with this thought. I read some godless democrat congressman saying something to the effect that the tax cut would just "give more money to the wealthy". Does that even need an explaination? Give more money to the wealthy.
This idiot commie says letting people keep the money they earn is "giving" them money. But actually giving money to the losers who refuse to work isn't, apparently.
This is the mindset we are dealing with folks. And it's full on Marxism. And they're already talking about running Bernie the commie for president next time, which is great. By then the economy will be running like a rocket and people will be seeing the effects. And selling communism is going to be even harder than it was last time around. So bring it on, commies. We're ready for you.

Let's give em what they want Friday...
So, our stupid little friends on the left want socialism.
Fine.
I say we give it to them.
I say we let President Trump do like most Socialist dictators eventually do and declare himself the ultimate ruler for life and just go for it.
Let him outlaw the democrat party.
Suspend any further elections.
Let him throw any and all opposing parties and or individuals into re-education camps until such a time they can either be controlled or otherwise, silenced.
Let him outlaw gay marriage.
Let him impose mandatory life sentences for any man caught trying to sneak into any women's restroom or locker room.
Let him outlaw what passes as today's mainstream media.
Ramp up deportation of any and all illegals in the country regardless of circumstances.
Throw anti-American liberal teachers and college professors out of the country.
Put an end to any and all welfare programs.
Outlaw transgenderism.
Throw anyone caught pushing the global warming stupidity in prison for life.
Then lock Hillary, Obama, Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch up for treason.
The dumbasses want socialism?
Let em have it.
Then let's see how Pajama Boy like it when he gets what he asks for.
Happy Friday, guys...

So much for Hollywood's new found morality...
I'm not sure what the ultimate goal of the left's sudden and completely out of character outrage over the sexual assaults they all knew had been going on within their own ranks since, well, since forever.
Evidently the thought of a man, any man making a pass or attempting to seduce a woman, any woman is completely and totally unacceptable.
Any man, regardless of status accused of such vile acts must be destroyed.
But.
But let these same sick, twisted Hollywood freaks make a movie about a 25-year-old man seducing a 17-year-old boy and they're hailed as heroes.
Seriously.
http://www.dailywire.com/news/23794/tone-deaf-oscar-buzz-movie-about-romance-between-paul-bois?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=062316-news&utm_campaign=dwbrand#
In the left's twisted way of viewing the world, scenes highlighting a 25-year-old pervert eating a cut peach that his 17-year-old male victim had just masturbated into is now considered "Art."
Cutting edge, they call it.
"Sound and image collide to create an almost tactile sensation. You can practically feel the sun on your skin and taste the sweat on your lips. Much attention is paid to the way the two romantic leads – young Elio (Timothée Chalamet) and Oliver (Armie Hammer) – carry themselves and regard each other, and the physical attraction between them feels immediate and electric.
It's not that Call Me By Your Name is especially explicit (though the famous peach scene is definitely going to get people talking), but that it's unmistakably sensual. Sex is no mere byproduct of love; nor is love an elevation of sex. In Call Me By Your Name, the romantic and the erotic are inextricably intertwined."
Major movie critics are calling the movie, "Call Me By Your Name" an erotic masterpiece.
And the Hollywood Reporter and USA Today have both hailed it as a serious Oscar contender.
So much for their new found morality, huh?
Happy Thanksgiving, guys...

Short Sweet and Straight to the Point...
This, my friends, is the problem.
More often than not our, oh-so-willing, educational system has more of less replaced the American family.
Oh, that's bullshit, McGinty.
Not really.
It's what happens when half of all marriages end up in divorce.
It's what happens when the American family structure falls completely apart.
It's what happens when it takes two incomes just to keep your head above water.
It's what happens when families that do stay together spend more time on their phones than they do talking to each other.
You can say what you want about my old fashioned and out of date beliefs.
But my generation never had to introduce our family as, this is my dad Tom and my other dad Doug.
And we never had to introduce our sister as Briana who used to be Brian.
Obviously I don't have the answer to fix the mess we've allowed our country to become.
All I can do is to focus on me and mine.
And that my friends, is exactly what I intend to do...

It's Friday, and not a day too soon
It's Friday and I don't have much to say. It feels like we are getting hammered every day by the godless left, and the GOPe (that's the new symbol for GOP establishment). It's getting so you can't tell your friends from you enemies without a playbook.
Now the left is painting the pervert Al Frankenstein as some kind of hero because he gave an insincere apology sort of partly for the part that had a photograph as evidence but still denies the rest.
But they're still demonizing Roy Moore over allegations that look extremely shady to me.
But like I always say, if that's all you got, that's what you go with. And all they got is slime, dirt, lies, more lies and even more lies. Otherwise they're bankrupt.
So have at it folks. I'm just tapped out today. I need to top off the tank tonite with a few choice IPAs. That usually helps. I'll stick my head in later and see what's up. Maybe I'll have a little more fire after a bunch of coffee.

America, love it or leave it.....
On Sunday my church did a presentation of the colors in the lead up to honoring the veterans. A Marine ROTC color guard was led by a bagpiper playing Amazing Grace. They walked with that pride and distinction that Marines have and presented the colors. Then a great tenor singer led us in the National Anthem.
I guarantee nobody took a knee.
In fact, like me, many were choked up and felt a swelling pride in this country that all patriotic Americans feel when they see the symbol of our great country, and sing that wonderful song.
And the thought crossed my mind that on that same day there would be godless left wing America hating football players using their time in the spotlight to convey their hatred for our country, our veterans and everything the rest of us believe in.
It made me angry to think about these privileged wealthy multi millionaires who have led lives that only the top 1% of America ever sees feeling that much hatred for the country that made it all possible for them.
America is the least oppressive and least racist country in the world. This is the land that has created more wealth, more opportunity than any other country in the world. This country has fought wars and sacrificed millions of men in the cause of protecting freedom from tyranny. The fight for freedom has always been America's fight. We even fought a civil war with ourselves to free the slaves. 700,000 men died in that bloody conflict.
America is the best of the best, and has been since it's birth. We were born out of a war for freedom from tyranny.
But these godless left wing commies would have you believe America is some horrible place. They have invented a different America than the one you and I live in, and they have chosen the symbol of our country to pour out their godless satanic driven hatred on.
Well, they are wrong. They have fabricated this whole mess out of hatred for our President. These people are completely insane with hatred at this point.
When the Kenyan became president, I disagreed with virtually every policy he promoted. I disagreed with his political beliefs, his religious beliefs and pretty much everything he did or said.
But not for one second did I decide I hated America or our flag because he was the president. My love for America is why I fought him the way Americans have fought would be tyrants for 230 years. I voted, I gave money to candidates who opposed him. I went to TEA party rallies. I promoted my views every opportunity I had. Never once did I turn my back on this country for what turned out to be a pretty stupid decision. And one that many Americans regretted as expressed by the democrats losing over 1,200 elections the next eight years including the House, Senate and Presidency.
So when these wealthy privileged probably brain damaged people disrespect our flag, I am just incapable of feeling any empathy for them. None. And seeing that flag yesterday while we sang our National Anthem just drove that home.
And if a bunch of America hating football players want to hate the country that made them wealthy privileged multi millionaires, well I guess they just can. I won't see it because I haven't watched one minute of NFL football this year, and won't. Probably never again. Or they can go try to find some other country that won't "oppress" them. And will pay them millions of dollars to play a children's game on Sunday.
So God bless America, and that star spangled banner that waves over the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Don't let the bastards get you down Friday...
Remember back during last year's presidential primary when what somehow passes as today's mainstream media kept showing us poll after poll that had Hillary Clinton with a 93% chance of winning the election?
Of course you do.
Turns out they lied.
Remember how they downplayed the republican wins in the 4 special elections since Trump took office?
I do.
And have you noticed how they never mention the fact that their beloved democrats have lost over 1,200 seats nationwide since Obama took office?
We all have.
I heard today that you'd have to go back to 1922 to find a time when the democrat party has been this severely weakened.
But now that they pulled off a win in Virginia and New Jersey Tuesday night and all the sudden the media is spinning it like it was one of the biggest upsets in political history.
The tide is turning, they say.
The country is turning on Trump, they claim.
The House and Senate will soon fall.
Bullshit!
Don't listen to them.
It's the same old shit they tried during the election.
Sure, it would have been nice to win in either of those states but let's face it, they both went for Hillary Clinton during the presidential election so anybody that was surprised by the results hasn't been paying attention.
Stay calm.
Stay focused.
And don't let the bastards in the media get you down.
From here on out it's going to be all out war with these people.
Don't believe me?
Just look at what they just did to Judge Roy Moore of Alabama.
40 year old sex allegations reported today by none other than the republican hating Washington Post.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/woman-says-roy-moore-initiated-sexual-encounter-when-she-was-14-he-was-32/2017/11/09/1f495878-c293-11e7-afe9-4f60b5a6c4a0_story.html
And just like that, out of the blue, during a campaign the democrats are willing to do anything to win 3 or 4 women suddenly remembered how they were hit on back in 1979.
Again, I call Bullshit!
The thing is, there's no way to prove it ever happened.
No witnesses, no recordings, no video.
But there's also no way for Moore to prove it didn't happen either.
Democrats doing what they do best.
Nobody ever said this revolution business was going to be easy.
But it's necessary...

Back in my day...
To say things have changed since I was a kid would be an understatement.
I'm part of the riding in the back of the pickup, drinking from the garden hose generation.
It was a time when boys were boys and girls were girls and no one ever thought to question it.
It was a time when a family consisted of a mom, a dad, and their children.
It was a time when working for a living was just a natural part of life.
It was a time when my friends and I rode our bikes without the aid of a helmet.
We played cowboys and Indians and cops and robbers.
We recited the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer every day in school.
We obeyed our teachers and for the most part respected our elders.
It was a time when the thought of disrespecting your mom never even occurred to us.
I got my first BB gun when I was 9-years-old and my first .22 when I turned 12 and no one thought anything of it.
By the time we were in High School most of us had our own shotguns and carried them in our cars and trucks because we planned on going quail hunting after football practice and on one ever batted and eye.
Were we perfect?
Oh, hell no.
But I can tell you this.
To the best of my knowledge not a single one of us have ever shot up a school full of school full of innocent little kids.
We've never gone a concert to kill as many people as we could.
And we've never once walked into a church and opened fire on those present because we're pissed off at society.
We don't have a gun problem in this country.
We have a morality problem being shoved down our throats by the godless left wing extremists who've taken control of the once proud democrat party.
And that's just a fact.
And this guys gets it.
Give me 4 minutes of your time and he'll explain it better than I ever could.
I have no idea what the answer is.
But what I do know is that if we continue down this path of self destruction, America, at least as we know it, will not survive.
Keep your friends and family close and keep your eyes open.

I have no words...
I got up early this morning and started working on today's blog.
It was going to center to Antifa's failed nationwide attempt to drive President Trump out of office.
Then I got sidetracked by some last minute painting I had to finish up before the new furniture got here earlier this afternoon.
Finally finished up, sat down with a cup of coffee for a few minutes and turned on the television.
That's when I heard the news of another mass shooting, this time at a church in Texas.
So far 27 innocent souls have perished and that number is expected to rise.
Of course the friggin left-wing nut jobs pounced on it with everything they had about gun control.
I even noticed our little piece of shit troll chimed in with another one of his smart ass comments about making America great.
As of right now the murderer hasn't been identified and no motive has been established so I'll refrain from making judgment calls until I know more about it.
All I can say for now is that it breaks my heart knowing that such deep hatred and pure unchecked evil has been allowed to flourish in this country of ours.
To the good people of Texas who've lost friends and loved one's in such an unimaginable way.
We all know I have no words to ease your pain.
All I can do is to say I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry this is what my once proud country has become...

Terrorists living among us....And the godless left is happy about it
Now why would old Safe say something like that? Why would I believe the godless left is happy to have terrorists living right here all around us? Well, I'll explain.
They brought them here. They promote bringing more and more of them here. We're labeled racist, islamophobic hate filled anti immigrant for even questioning it. President Trump proposes a travel ban to restrict these people from flooding into our country and the godless left becomes enraged, finding some judge willing to overstep every boundry established by the constitution to try to block it. So yeah, they seem to be pretty happy with the whole arrangement.
So, the bigger question is why? Why would any American be happy to see America endangered? Are they stupid? Well, yes, but it's much more than that.
This is just one small piece of the whole strategy. Remember, these people are communists. Hell, they tried to run a communist for President last election, and he probably would have been the candidate if crooked hillary and the dems not rigged the election. So what do communists do? What have they done for the last hundred years? Take over societies.
Sometimes by force, sometimes by elections. Always by deception. Always be destroying the existing societal structure only to replace it with godless communism. And how is that done? Well, look around you at the democrat party and the godless left. That's how it's done.
By a thousand small attacks. Attacks on our religion. Attacks on our law enforcement. Attacks on our military. Attacks on our sanctity of marriage. Attacks on our unborn children. Attacks on our morals and beliefs. Endless and unrelenting.
Creating a divided country, filled with hatred and chaos so they can step in and be the peacemakers. Or so people believe. And we are seeing the fruits of their efforts. This country is divided live never before.
Did Russia interfere in our election? Of course they did. But not in favor of Donald Trump. The goal, as is always the goal of communists and godless left wing extremists is chaos. To drive Americans to hate each other. To create a sense of distrust of our political system. Exactly what the democrats are doing now, in support of that cause. Exactly what crooked hillary did to steal the primary. Leaving millions of disillusioned people in their wake.
It is my sincerely held belief the godless left is actively and aggressively attempting to destroy our civil society in order create their left wing communist big state utopia they have long dreamed of. They thought they had it when America elected the man from Kenya to be followed in their plan by crooked hillary. But that got disrupted. So plan B. Create chaos. Riots. Demonstrations. Increase the communist influence on the campuses. Fill the country with muslims who will refuse to assimilate. Break down the borders. Break down the culture.
They're doing it folks. Every day like mold growing on America. Slow but relentless. First you have to destroy what's there before you can hope to replace it.
So yeah, terrorists among us? They love it because it increases fear and chaos. And divides us. Exactly what they want.
So we'll keep fighting them. You see what's happened to France and Britain. Formerly great democracies now overrun with communists and muslims. They are trying to reverse it but it's too late. They surrendered their sovereignty long ago and you don't get that back.
We won't surrender. And President Donald Trump won't surrender. We'll fight and win the ones we can, and try to minimize the damage from the ones we lose. But we will fight. Don't doubt me on that one.
Make America Great Again!

News from Nunya
Our friend Nunya who most of us look forward to hearing from every morning to get our day started posted the following on Kevin's Sunday blog:
"I see the Urinal propagandists (editorial staff) has blamed low scores on ACT tests of minorities on slavery, civil rights....and low health care, lack of broadband, lack of nutrition...y'know...all that stuff that should be "free"!
Instead of, y'know...what it really is. Which is lack of personal responsibility and motivation, lack of family structure, bad gangsta culture...y'know...the ACTUAL problems"
I'd just like to elaborate on that a little.
The godless left is intent on blaming all the problems suffered by blacks in America on the "legacy of slavery". As Nunya says, instead of looking at how a culture has self destructed, they are quick to blame others for what is in essence the fault of a culture that has evolved into what it is today.
Even talking about this subject in this way gets us falsely labeled racist and white supremists and more. But we always hear from the godless left about wanting to start "conversations" about things like this, so lets do.
From the end of the Civil War until the mid 1960s blacks in America were progressing at a remarkable rate. Out of wedlock birth rates low, as families reunited and sought stability. Freed slaves went to great lengths to find spouses and families to reunite. Today the out of wedlock birthrate for blacks is about 72%.
Blacks were making steady progress in employment, education, home ownership and general assimilation into the America society. The were in essence taking advantage of their new freedom to join the American dream. Remember, most of these people were generations removed from Africa, there was no logical thought given to returning to Africa, they would have been more strangers there than they were in America, and it was in Africa their ancestors were captured and sold into slavery by their fellow Africans anyway.
All that began to change in the mid 1960s. Why? Lyndon Johnson and the great welfare state. The intention of the godless democrat party was to create a new plantation. Families dissolved as fathers abandoned their children, with the state stepping in to fill the role of father. Fatherless children turned to gangs and drugs. Generations grew to depend on welfare and government assistance, to the extent that today there are families who have never known a working member of the family.
The statistics all prove this out if you take the time to review them.
So the question begging an answer is this. If all the problems plaguing blacks in America today are a "legacy of slavery" as we are told why did it take a hundred years to begin? Why did the first hundred years after the end of slavery not look the same or worse than today? After all, most blacks were living in the south then, and were living in close proximity to the people that fought a war to keep them enslaved. So it seems the "legacy of slavery" is a modern day creation.
I would postulate the real cause of the modern day suffering of blacks in America is their own culture. Fatherless children by the millions. Families supported by taxpayers. Rejection of education opportunities because studying and working hard in school is "acting white". A culture of violence against each other. A young black man's greatest risk of death is at the hand of another young black man.
But it's easy to blame others. It must be somebody's fault. And with the godless left more than happy to support that idea because it helps their goal of the destruction of American society they have a helpful ally in their drive to blame somebody else.
This is a complex issue, but as Nunya summed it up nicely...lack of personal responsibility and motivation, lack of family structure, bad gangsta culture...y'know...the ACTUAL problems"
So no, I don't feel guilty about slavery. In fact I don't feel guilty about anybody's lack of motivation and drive to achieve the American dream which is there for all. It's waiting for you. But it requires you to find it and grab it. Sitting on your ass collecting welfare and waiting for it to come and find you is a hopeless endeavor. It just won't happen.
"I see the Urinal propagandists (editorial staff) has blamed low scores on ACT tests of minorities on slavery, civil rights....and low health care, lack of broadband, lack of nutrition...y'know...all that stuff that should be "free"!
Instead of, y'know...what it really is. Which is lack of personal responsibility and motivation, lack of family structure, bad gangsta culture...y'know...the ACTUAL problems"

You damn republicans gonna do something this time or just stand there and bleed?
I know for a fact that it's not just me who's sick and tired of watching our inept congressional republican leaders get steamrolled by the Godless democrats (I stole that from Safe) time and time again.
The list of crimes they've ignored over the years from the Clinton's and the Obama administration as a whole is staggering.
I ran across the following video by none other than the no nonsense Judge Jeanine Pirro and wanted to run it by you guys today before Safe takes the reins next week.
I promise it's well worth the 8 minutes it'll take to watch it.
In the words of a very courageous woman, it's that time.
Time to man up or get the hell out of the way...

Good grief!!!
It's Friday guys and you already know that means I've decided to be lazy and let you do the talking.

Can you hear us now?
There they were, sitting on their high horses looking down at what they thought was their kingdom of loyal peasants as they went about derailing President Trump's agenda.
That was their first mistake.
It's the same mistake that what passes as today's mainstream media, the democrat party, and establishment republicans have all made.
Of course he leads the effort (and he's doing a hell of a job of it) but the agenda they're standing in the way of doesn't belong to Donald Trump.
It belongs to the American people.
The Deplorables if you will.
And slowly but surely, one by one the Swamp is being drained.
It all started a few weeks ago when Alabama Deplorables chose Judge Roy Moore over GOP favorite Luther Strange despite more than $30 million worth of attack ads against Moore.
Bob Corker and Jeff Flake have both seen the writing on the wall and have announced their retirements.
Of course they're both blaming their demise on Trump.
They're both burning up their Twitter accounts with childish rants about how mean and unstable the president is.
And they're both making the rounds of the Trump hating media who are suddenly treating them like rock stars spreading their message of hate.
Truth is, Donald Trump isn't to blame for their downfall.
Both senators have pollsters working for them and the numbers told them everything they needed to know.
So, if they're looking to blame someone all they need to do is to look in the mirror.
In November of last year the American people made it perfectly clear to anyone willing to pay attention that we were fed up with business as usual.
We were tired of being taken for granted.
And we were tired of being lied to.
You either get on board or we'll send your ass packing.
All through last year's campaign I spoke often of the Revolution.
Winning the presidential election was but one battle in a very long and ongoing effort to take our country back.
I never said it wasn't going to get ugly nor did I say anything about it being easy.
But then nothing worthwhile ever is.

Three Percenters...
The name "Three Percenters" is derived from the belief that only 3% of the colonists took up arms against the British during the American Revolution.
There are over 10,000 members that identify as "Three Percenters" across The United States.
I'm going to ask you guys to watch today's video which was forwarded to me the other night by a good friend and fellow patriot.
I know I don't have to tell any of you this but I'm going to anyway.
Our country's in trouble.
And it wasn't that long ago that I would have laughed at the thought of a bunch of rednecks running around the countryside playing Militia.
But that was a long time ago.
It was before the attacks of 9-11.
It was before the democrat party went full blown communist.
It was before Barack Hussein Obama became president and unleashed the left-wing nightmare this country's trying to cope with today.
It was before domestic terrorist groups like Black Lives Matter marched in the streets openly calling for the murder of our police officers.
It was before Antifa came onto the scene destroying everything in their path.
It was before what passes as today's America media started supporting them.
It was before nuclear war with North Korea seemed like a real possibility.
And more than anything it was before the democrat party, their puppets in the media, and a majority of establishment republicans decided to actively override the will of the American people by trying to destroy the president we elected, Donald J. Trump.
Our first and second amendment rights are under constant assault.
You can barely step outside your house without being recorded by thousands of security cameras.
Every phone call, test message, and email you send is being intercepted and stored on some government data base.
What do you think's gonna happen if we are hit with three or four nukes, millions of people are killed and the power grid's completely knocked out?
All hell's gonna break lose.
Grocery stores will be wiped out in a matter of hours.
Because there's no power you won't be able to fuel your vehicles so people living in large cities will be stranded and forced to deal with increasingly desperate and armed gangs looking to steal anything and everything they can get their hands on.
Communications are knocked out.
Law enforcement will be overwhelmed and Marshall Law will be declared.
Then what?
Then all the sudden Militias made up of well armed, well trained, and well prepared patriots won't seem like such an extreme idea anymore.
That's not to say every group out there with a bunch of guns calling themselves a Militia will be an effective fighting force but some of them will be.
They're the one's who've spent years recruiting the right people, training. stocking up on weapons, ammunition, food, water, and medicine and they'll probably be the one's who survive.
They're also the one's people will flock to looking for help.
I hate to say it but the days where such a scenario seemed like nothing more than something out of a horror movie have long since past.
Anyway, those are my thoughts.
You guys stay safe, alert, and be well...

Just how low will these godless hate filled commie democrats go?
Well, it appears there is no limit to just how low they will sink.
By now you've all heard about the phone call narrative. A congresswoman who by her appearance belongs in a circus ring rather than the hallowed halls of congress has attempted to create a narrative that President Trump insulted a grieving widow when he made what by all appearances was a heartfelt and very difficult call to the wife of a soldier killed in combat.
This evil hate filled pathetic excuse of a human being, the congresswoman who does not deserve to be named is trying to use the death of an American soldier to score points with her fellow democrat haters and her fellow godless left wing commies.
This is possibly the worst thing I have seen to date, and I've seen some pretty unbelievable things. You can't even imagine a human being lowering herself to this kind of baseless phony hate filled attack. This person is a disgusting example of the lowest of the low, even among a group of people who are as low as it gets.
This person should be refuted by every single member of congress, she should be censored, she should be removed from office. She has defamed the President of the United States and Commander in Chief of the United States Military. She has committed a crime by falsely defaming the President and frankly, he should sue her.
I don't know how this is playing out in the news. I don't watch any of the godless left wing media so I don't know how they are handling it. But I would suggest they tread very lightly on this lie filled narrative. This one could backfire and come back to bite them if they run with it.
This is just another in a multitude of examples of how hateful and evil these people are. And what we are up against trying to stop them from destroying the greatest nation on earth. And this fight doesn't have an end in sight. Rust never sleeps, and neither does evil.
My hope is she won President Donald Trump more votes for his reelection by revealing just how insane this democrat party has become. This is the kind of thing that got him elected in the first place. America said enough is enough, and everywhere except the liberal enclaves on the coast voted for Donald Trump. And it's driven the left insane. Literally insane. And this is one example of that insanity.
Enough is enough. Stop the hate you godless commies. You won't like the new rules you created when they get turned against you.

Russia, Russia, Russia
Funny thing. The godless left is still yammering about Russian collusion, impeachment and all the other crazy fabricated nonsense they dreamed up to try to overturn the election of this President by the American people. Sometimes these people just don't seem to have any brains at all. Check that. These people never seem to have any brains.
So now the evidence is surfacing of massive collusion, bribery and corruption between hillary and Russia over the uranium deal. Massive. The clinton's got rich off this deal alone, richer than they already were from all the other influence peddling. This one has legs, folks. This could be bad for them. And we now know what we suspected all along, that the Kenyan president knew everything from the start.
This time the clinton crime syndicate doesn't have a president and criminal attorney general to protect them. Nobody in high places to cover for them. In fact, they have a hostile President and the American people who are sick and tired of the clinton crime syndicate getting away with murder. Literally getting away with murder.
This administration needs to go after this full on. The American people need to know how evil and corrupt these people are, and how close they came to having the head criminal sitting in the white house. How corrupt and anti-American the democrat party and the godless left are. What a pack of lying conniving criminal weasels the whole bunch is.
And I know the media will continue to run cover for them, and that's fine. As they do, and the truth is revealed America will also see what a pack of partisan lying hacks the media as a whole is, and how they have conspired to deceive them and aid the democrats in the destruction of America.
My dream is that when all this is over the democrat party is left in shambles, in prison and unemployed. And that the media is exposed as the democrat operatives they have become. I know that will never happen, but a guy can dream, right?
In any case, this scandal is a hundred times worse than Watergate. This isn't some made up bunch of crap like everything the left is throwing at President Trump. This is real.
And I'm going to watch this one with the rest of you. We will see if this government is still of the people, by the people and for the people or if they are the pack of organized criminals we all suspect they are.

The only thing the godless left hates more than President Trump is you
Like most of you, I read Kevin's post on Sunday where he reprinted what passes for an editorial from the CJ Urinal by none other than Matty "the Johnson". And it was the usual diatribe of hatred for everything America, and included every fake lie filled talking point from the godless left, word for word as issued to be repeated as frequently as possible. Pretty typical stuff from a hack fake journalist, who is actually a democrat operative with a byline. You can understand these people better if whenever you read them you remember they are democrat party operatives.
Funny thing. These people go nuts at every tweet this President posts, at every thing he says, at everything he ever said. And my opinion is he is just trolling them to make them look foolish. Many times his tweets are just off the cuff thoughts he posts, and the response is so predictable. The godless left to a person goes apoplectic. They jump up and down, red in the face, eyes bulged out, arms flapping, spittle flying from their mouths denouncing whatever meaningless tweet the President popped out there. So predictable. So pathetic.
But make no mistake. The only thing these people hate more than President Trump is us deplorables who had the gall to ignore our betters and elect a President who feels the same way we do about a lot of issues, and is acting on them even in the face of massive obstruction from both parties. They hate us with a passion. We represent everything that is wrong with America to them. We believe in God. We believe a man is a man, and a woman is a woman. We believe unborn babies should be allowed to be born instead of being murdered for convenience. We believe illegal aliens are criminals and shouldn't get a pass on their crimes. We believe in work, supporting our families and paying our own damn bills. We believe the money we earn is ours, not theirs.
And that's the opposite of what they believe.
I'm old enough to remember when Americans knew communism was a bad thing, An evil form of government devised by power hungry greedy people that played on the most base bad instincts of people, greed and envy in order to establish power, then destroyed the people that thought is was a great idea. It has failed everywhere it has been tried, in almost the exact same way. So America until recently rejected communism as the tyrannical oppressive destructive force it is. And we even intervened militarily to stop them at times.
Now, in 2017, the democrat party not only accepts communism, they embrace it. They ran a communist in their presidential primary. And the only reason he didn't win and become their candidate for president was because crooked hilllary rigged the primary with her crooked friends and her billion dollar war chest.
So did you ever imagine the entire democrat party would go full commie? Seems as though they have. All we hear from them is commie philosophy. And they hate us for standing in the way. They thought after the Kenyan president they saw the ascension of their commie party to full power and total control. And along came Donald Trump and the Deplorables. And we ruined their little Fabian dream. So yeah, they hate us. And they have no problem telling us so, even if it's masked as an editorial filled with hatred for our President. That was aimed at you and me, who elected him.
I hate getting lectured by people who are failures in life, don't you? A hack editorial writer for a dying bankrupt fourth rate newspaper that only survives by being bought by a different corporation who needs a tax write off every few years.
So let's keep going. Let's keep doing what we're doing.
Let's Make America Great Again

The following drivel is Matt "the Johnson's" latest edition in his ongoing and never-ending "I Hate Trump" mini series.
And this bastard's the opinion page editor?
It's no wonder the community blogs were eliminated over there.
If there's one thing a dedicated leftist just can't tolerate it's opposing points of view.
Anyway, I thought I'd share it so you guys could have something to laugh at while we wait for Safe's hard hitting blog tomorrow morning...
======================================================================
This is an open letter to anyone who really, really doesn’t want to read another article about President Trump. I hear from you almost every day, and your criticism has started to sound something like this: “Your hatred for Trump has become an unhealthy obsession. Aren’t you capable of writing about anything else?” Well, yes. I’ve spent most of my adult life writing about other subjects. But Trump is a singular phenomenon — probably even a once-in-a-generation phenomenon — and it would be ignoble and unwise to avoid this fact (even for a second).
Make no mistake: the ascendancy of Donald J. Trump is the political story of our time, which is why it’s absurd to think every article with the word “Trump” in the headline is about the same thing. Each one could be about a vast range of subjects: nuclear brinksmanship, health care, the media, immigration, the weaknesses in a democratic system that allowed an erratic, unprincipled opportunist to assume the highest office in the land. Next time you think, “Ugh, another article about Trump,” just remember it could be about anything from his fondness for McDoubles to a tweet about Snoop Dogg to the nuclear annihilation of a few million people on the Korean Peninsula. That should really be enough unpredictability to warrant a click.
But what about everything else that’s happening in the world? Isn’t the nonstop Trump coverage leaving other issues underemphasized? In a recent interview, the British author and journalist Douglas Murray complained that, even in his country, Trump has become all-encompassing: “After almost everything that happens in the U.K. — in the last year or so — (people) say, ‘How will this affect Donald Trump?’ Stop talking about Donald Trump. Allow other things in the world to exist.”
This point is so easy to make because it’s palatable to almost everyone. Even the people who cover Trump for a living or criticize him often will usually acknowledge that doing so can be exhausting. He has become such an inflated, oxygen-sucking force in our lives that you probably can’t even remember the last time you went a day without hearing or seeing something about him. Whether it’s a tweet or a breaking news story or a comment from a coworker, he’ll push your other priorities and thoughts aside as effortlessly as the prime minister of Montenegro at a NATO meeting.
In other words, I get it. Arguments about Trump can be simultaneously savage and tiresome — not exactly an endearing combination to many people. But there are a whole lot of good reasons why these arguments must persist (the good ones, anyway).
One of the strangest unintended consequences of the Trump presidency has been its stimulation of healthy debates about foundational issues. For example, when Trump exalts Vladimir Putin, questions the value of our NATO alliances, denigrates international institutions, etc., he forces us to justify certain assumptions about the sustainability of the post-World War II international order. Why does the principle of collective defense matter? Why should the preservation and expansion of human rights and democratic norms be core objectives of our foreign policy? Why is nuclear nonproliferation a good thing? He did the same with trade: What impact does globalization have on American workers and consumers? How can we mitigate its harmful effects (such as lost jobs for low-skilled workers)? Do our existing free trade agreements make sense? How do they work?
From climate change to immigration, Trump has catalyzed debates about first principles and called political orthodoxies into question. But here’s the thing: he has generally done so by accident. He’ll make some absurd suggestion (we should impose a 45 percent tariff on China, permit more countries to develop nuclear weapons, slash the State Department’s funding by 32 percent, etc.), and this will be the impetus for a wider discussion about nonproliferation, free trade, foreign aid or whatever else he’s blathering about. Trump is a common denominator for many of the most important issues we face.
But here’s the more depressing reason why the exhaustive coverage of our president must persist: discussions about Trump are discussions about the character of this country. We elected a man who mocked a disabled reporter on TV, insulted Sen. John McCain for being a prisoner of war, boasted about grabbing and kissing women without their permission, slapped his name on a fraudulent “university” that swindled vulnerable Americans out of their savings (and forced the victims into protracted legal battles when they tried to get their money back), and insisted that our first black president couldn’t possibly have been born in the country.
The horrible thing about this list is how abbreviated it is.
Trump’s presidency is built around a bleak portrait of the United States and a desolate view of humanity. Imagine if you listed all the scapegoats Trump has cynically maligned since he announced his candidacy in June 2015 — our country would look like the most paranoid place on Earth. He described undocumented immigrants as “rapists” who are out to displace American workers and defile their communities. Journalists are “enemies of the American people” who invent sources and dump page after page of “FAKE NEWS” on their readers. China is “humiliating” us, “ripping us off” and costing us “tens of thousands of jobs.” Meanwhile, the most effective tool to counter China’s economic rise — the Trans-Pacific Partnership — was a “continuing rape of our country” that other countries wanted because it put the United States at “a very, very big economic disadvantage.”
Everyone hates us and we hate them! And Trump doesn’t just want to turn Americans against…well, most of the world. He wants to turn us against one another. That’s why he constantly appeals to our basest tribal instincts by making inflammatory comments about polarizing issues: flag burning or student protests at Berkeley or the “alt-left” in Charlottesville or NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.
Finally, and perhaps most fundamentally, Trump has exposed our alarming tolerance for dishonesty. He lied about the size of his inauguration crowd. He lied about the “millions” of Americans who voted illegally. He lied about his comments on climate change (which he called a hoax “created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive”). He lied about his plan to create a registry of American Muslims. He lied about President Obama’s “wiretap” of Trump Tower. He lied when he said the murder rate is “the highest it’s been in 47 years.” He lied when he said the U.S. is the “highest taxed nation in the world.”
I’m not surprised that Trump does all of these things — he’s a self-obsessed demagogue who doesn’t care how much damage he inflicts on our norms and institutions. But I’ll never understand why so many Americans let him get away with it, and that’s what I intend to keep writing about.
