Median Household Income Grew in 2019

The median household income in 2019 grew a whopping 6.8%-the largest annual increase on record, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday.

While this year’s government-ordered lockdowns will erase these gains in the short term at least, it’s still worth highlighting how lower-income workers and minorities benefitted from faster growth and a tighter labor market before the pandemic.” WSJ

California Wildfires

I was just listening to former presidential candidate Tom Steyer spewing his nonsense about climate change being the cause for the California wildfires. Nowhere does he or any other Democrat tell you that the main cause is forest mismanagement by the California legislature which REFUSES to allow the removal of years of dead growth in the forests. All that old dried out wood is tinder and the heat, a lightening strike, human irresponsibility is what has caused these fires. Assholes…

Los Angeles Police Officers Shot

Two police officers, a man and a woman, were shot in the head this weekend in Los Angeles as they sat innocently in their patrol car, both are alive, but no one knows what, if any, physical damage has been done to them. The perpetrator is still at large. Meanwhile, the radical leftists in LA protested outside the emergency room at the hospital chanting “we want them to die!”

In Chicago this past weekend, 50 people were shot, 10 fatally wounded.

This bullshit is happening in our country, in too many cities to name, all Democrat controlled. No one pushes back, the police are afraid to act for fear of reprisal by their own departments, the politicians or the demands of the citizenry. We are not headed in a good direction. Victory by the dems in November will amp this behavior in a very bad way, much like the firestorm of the California wildfires.

Pennsylvania’s Mail-In Ballot Deadline Extended

Pennsylvania’s highest court has extended the state’s deadline for accepting mail-in ballots, the state Supreme Court said ballots received through the Friday after the November 3 election would be counted if they are postmarked by 8pm on election day. Why is this permitted? Ballots have been available all year long, we are now 7 weeks from the election. In my view, if you haven’t taken the time to request an absentee ballot or received one of the fraudulent mail-in ballots, shame on you. All ballots should be received on or before election day. That is the way an election is supposed to work. This is an open invitation to fraud in our general election. Horse shit.

After over 100 days of Democrat silence about the violence, lootings, shootings, murders and rapes in Democrat-controlled cities and states, House Speaker Pelosi yesterday denounced such acts of violence as lawlessness. Why? It is certainly not what she believes, she does however, believe the polls and these are telling her the American people are not supportive of the violence condoned by her party.

As an American citizen, how do you want our country to move forward for you and your family:

SECURE BORDERS? OPEN BORDERS?
MORE GOVERNMENT? LESS GOVERNMENT?
A STRONG MILITARY? A WEAK MILITARY?
LESS TAXATION? MORE TAXATION?
LESS GOVERNMENT REGULATION? MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATION?
FAIR TRADE AGREEMENTS? QUID PRO QUO TRADE AGREEMENTS?
PROPER CARE FOR OUR VETERANS? DON’T CARE FOR OUR VETERANS?
MERIT BASED IMMIGRATION? THE SHIT WE HAVE NOW?
RESPONSIBLE HELP FOR THE POOR? THROW MONEY AT THE PROBLEM?
TEACH AMERICAN HISTORY TO OUR CHILDREN? ERASE AMERICAN HISTORY?
RESPECT OUR FLAG? DON’T GIVE A SHIT?
SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE IN SCHOOL? WHAT IS THAT?

Infrastructure X (Keystone & Dakota pipelines) Regulation Reform XX 1 in 2 out
Individual Tax Reform XX Entitlement Reform
Business Tax Reform XX Education Reform X
Healthcare Reform Veterans Administration Reform X
Rebuild our Military X Trade Reform X
Secure our Borders (The Wall) XX Lead the world from the front XX
Help for the poor XX Drain the swamp X as we speak
Peace through unmatchable strength Support Israel X
Destroy ISIS XX Extreme Vetting XX
Conservative Supreme Court nominees XX American Jobs XX

I will track these campaign promises and will check them off as each is accomplished adding those I have missed as they become apparent. This is quite an agenda and will be difficult to achieve all in one term, but I believe the American people are behind him and know these things need to be done. Now, if he can get our legislators to support him instead of fighting him….

“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”

TEDDY ROOSEVELT ON IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA…1907

In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…We have room for but one language here and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
