Trump Wins Nevada By a Lot

My last post was prior to the election results, now it is confirmed. Trump won by a landslide. I shall repeat that I am a Bernie Sanders supporter; but, if not him then Trump. I appreciate a good nationalist and they are the only nationalists in the race, the rest represent and work for globalist money. The general media response is to ignore Sanders and insult Trump and his supporters. The Trump candidacy highlights the lies better and that is fun.

Lets start with this, by the Republican party insulting Trumps supporters they are calling for their own death. Trump just won Nevada with about 44% of the votes and the media insists upon saying bad things about his supporters. The Republican party establishment is insulting almost half of their voters, how can they survive? Do you really believe that a party which ridicules it's own supporters can survive? The conservative media openly discusses what needs to be done to beat Trump. Think about that. They openly publish articles about how Republicans who support Trump are idiots and how they plan on making sure that the votes don't matter. They have publicly said that if Trump wins every primary but fails to get over 51% they will have a convention where they give it to someone else who has less votes.

Here is more lunacy. Fox news has openly criticized Trump for saying he will deport all the illegal aliens; but, now Rubio and Cruz are saying the exact same thing and Fox is not telling them how they cannot. I have not seen one positive news report about Trump, not one and my readers know I follow the news.

My sister lives in Nevada and actually voted at one of their primaries. I congratulate her for that, for her choosing to spend the hours it took her to vote. Every election that Trump is in has a higher turnout than it has in the past. Sanders, for his part, has brought in more young voters than in the past. People actually are interested in the outcome of this election. Now let me present a real game changer for the establishment.

Imagine this, Sanders or Trump wins their parties nomination and picks the other as Vice President. It won't happen; but, lets just play with this. Imagine Trump winning the Republican nomination and picking Sanders as his running mate, he would get all of Sanders supporters and if Sanders won the Democratic nomination and picked Trump as his Vice President he would get all of Trumps supporters. Can you imagine how much that would upset the few who control the two parties?

I have looked at the most current polls for super Tuesday and Trump looks to win almost all the states if not all of them. Lets assume that Trump wins all the states except Texas where he comes in a strong second to Cruz, who is from that state. Then what? Super Tuesday is the most delegates awarded in one day. If Trump wins super Tuesday, what does the establishment do? Stealing the election from him at the convention would be suicide so they would have to find another way to eliminate him. Ridiculing him and his supporters has not worked. The thing my Republican friends fear is that the establishment will kill him. That is scary and not unheard of. What happens if Trump is killed?

If Trump were killed do you believe his supporters would suddenly choose Rubio, I don't think so. Do you think they would turn to Cruz, I don't think so. You know who they would vote for, Ben Carson. Every conservative I know likes Carson, they prefer Trump but they like Carson. I have a video for you to watch, it is by a group called Til Tuesday and is entitled Voices Carry. It explains perfectly how the conservative media views Trump's supporters. At then end of the song she complains that her boyfriend is telling he to be quiet because others might hear her. Her final statement is "He won't let me talk". That pretty much sums up this election. The media is trying to stop us from talking about Trump, Sanders, Jobs, Income Theft by the rich or tax breaks being only for the wealthy who are looting this country and sending jobs overseas. Enjoy the song.

The Media on the Nevada Caucus

It is February 23rd and the Nevada Caucuses are supposed to close in 12 minutes. I have been watching the news channels live streams on YouTube and it is hilarious. The Young Turks have stopped their show's live stream because they said Trump is going to win by a landslide and there is no point in following the count. Fox has been busy saying that what really matters is who comes in second and arguing over who should leave the race so that the one left can beat Trump. Not one vote has been counted yet and they all know who is going to win.

The Wealthy Hate Trump and Sanders Because They Care About Americans

The Seattle Times - Trump’s warning about Boeing jobs dismissed by experts.  Donald Trump had told the people in South Carolina that Boeing was building a major aircraft plant in China and that he believes they will begin moving more jobs there. The big newspaper in Seattle, the home of Boeing, says he doesn't understand their industry and that it is too technical. Wait, Steve Jobs said Americans are too stupid to manufacture his phones; but, this article claims they are technical enough to build planes. Trump is probably right.

Huffington Post - Wall Street's Message to Young Adults: 'You Are Clueless'.  Wall Street thinks young people should not vote for Bernie Sanders and thinks they are dumb for wanting to. What particularly bothers them is that Sanders and the younger voters are forcing Hillary Clinton to talk more about income inequality. The Wall Street Journal article even admits that the United States is expected to lose 75 million jobs in the next twenty years. Here is the question, what should young people do to protect themselves from the day when robots are doing most of the work? They know that their future is being destroyed by technology and globalism, they were the first to point it out.

Here is the choice. After the jobs are gone, this country will either look like a South American Right Wing totalitarian country or a Scandinavian Social Democracy. What it will not be is the country that we knew because manufacturing will be gone and not everyone can be an engineer or scientist. The reason you are seeing the changers that we are is because the wealthy are preparing for the day when they don't need workers or in fact the majority of our citizens.

Is Wisconsin the State of Imbeciles?

New York Times - Gov. Walker Resumes His War on Workers.  So Wisconsin is eliminating all civil service protection for state workers. Good luck with that Wisconsin. Ignorance is bliss but it only lasts so long. No longer will people have to take tests to get a government job and they can be fired by the next Governor for no reason. Hey, I know history, I know how this worked in the past. Each time a new mayor or governor was elected they would fire all of the present employees and replace them with their supporters, that is why we created civil service.

The Republican party has been the anti-progressive party for the past 30 years. They have deregulated most industries and given them tax breaks for outsourcing and they are attacking Social Security, pensions and civil service. It was under Bush where competitive bids for contracts was reduced so that Halliburton could get billions in contracts. Halliburton supplies the military with it's supplies and moved it's headquarters to Dubai after getting the contracts from us. The reason all these things are connected is because they are all destined to eliminate protections that were put in place in the early 1900s. The same protections made for the rise of the middle class.

It is said that those who forget history are forced to repeat it's mistakes. I disagree partly, people choose to ignore history because they are insane and believe that by continually doing the same thing that failed in the past, eventually they will be successful. The insistence on doing two contrary things and expecting them to not conflict is insanity defined. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Paths diverge and eventually you have to choose one or just stay where you are. Wisconsin as a state has chosen to try to replicate what they did in the 1800s and failed. Good luck with that.

Make Corporate Tax Breals Based On American Jobs

Here is a thought. What if companies got tax breaks based on the percentage of their workforce that was Americans. If General Motors outsources 50% of it's jobs overseas then whatever they qualify for in tax deductions would be reduced by 50% of the total amount deductible. Lets reserve tax breaks for people who invest in Americans. Think about it.

Happy 2/16/2016.

Just a couple of obvious posts and some music, maybe a thought or two, we shall see.

Yahoo - AP - APNewsBreak: US OK's first factory in Cuba since revolution.  China and India are not the only countries we plan on giving our manufacturing to.

The Slatest - Sanders Is Delusional if He Thinks He Can Keep His Promise on Mass Incarceration.  Read the title, it sounds like Sanders wants to jail more people, nope, he wants to jail less people. He wants to jail violent criminals, not those who hurt themselves like hookers or junkies. The article proposes that it is impossible to jail fewer people in America. Consider that we jail a higher percentage of our population than other countries including China. Read the article and see why we "cannot" jail fewer of us. The article does ignore talking about a few things, one of them being the fact that the private prisons require that we jail a certain percentage of our population or our governments are charged as if we did anyways.

No music, I changed my mind.

80,000 Hits and Stuff

Sometime today this blog will hit 80,000 visits. Wow. No advertising, no outreach and yet, here I am. In the near future, it will probably go over 100,000 hits.

Now to the news. Justice Scalia has died. His closest friend on the Supreme Court was Ginsberg. Many consider him to have been a conservative and she to be a liberal, those perspectives are naive and wrong. Within moments of his death Republican politicians and pundits began questioning the right of the president to nominate his replacement. It is his job to nominate the replacement. To see Republicans say that congress should not do their job and approve a valid candidate is to spit on the Constitution.

I know who Obama should nominate to the Supreme Court, he should nominate Laurence Tribe. Mr. Tribe is considered the best constitutional law expert in the nation. He taught Cruz and was the legal advisor to Obama. There is nobody who could argue that he is unqualified or ignorant. Neither politicians nor the public understand what the Supreme Court's job is and they don't want to. That is why justices are not voted on. It is the only one of the three branches where the founding fathers thought political opinions should not be part of the conversation.

Insulting Voters

I have already written about this once and did not intend to do it again. After Trump won New Hampshire the media attacked the people who voted for him as racist, xenophobic and ignorant, the were call zombies and idiots. The voters were insulted by the popular media. Love Trump or hate him, I don't care, I am for Sanders; but, don't insult Democracy. If you insult voters for being them, then you don't believe in Democracy, you believe you know better than everyone else. That is anti democratic. Who should we believe in or can we trust in the majority?

News Dump 2/10/2016

New York Times - Inside the Billion-Dollar Battle for Puerto Rico’s Future.

Fox - Cruz campaign criticized over mailers sent to potential Iowa voters. 

BBC - London's first driverless cars based on Heathrow 'pods'. 

Fox - Satanic group set to lead Phoenix City Council in prayer. 

Wired - Startups Can Escape Their Cash Crunch by Going to Mexico. 

Trump and Sanders Win New Hampshire Primary

Both Trump and Sanders easily took New Hampshire with about 20 points more than second place. If Trump and Sanders take South Carolina and Nevada, this race will be grim for the other candidates. This fact is even more striking for the Republican field. The funniest thing is that the mainstream media cannot accept the fact that either won. At what point does the establishment of either party recognize that they are no longer in control of their parties. It should be obvious seeing as how congress has less than a 10 percent approval rating, business as usual is not working and everybody knows it. The Republicans may want to blame Obama; but, the reality is that both parties are despised and have lied to us by selling this country out and we all know it.

People do not believe we should give tax breaks to companies that outsource American jobs to China. People believe that the big banks have rigged the system and the fact that those companies have had to pay tens of billions of dollars because they were caught rigging the markets is proof that they did. People are tired of a congress that only supports the rich.

I Love Media Lies and Spin

Go back and read any of my posts about this election. I stated multiple times that I thought Trump would come in second in Iowa. I wrote about how caucuses favor party stalwarts. Nothing has changed. The media is saying Trump has lost because he cannot get votes, that he cannot win elections, that his supporters are fools and don't vote. I predicted their response, read the posts. He came in second in the Iowa caucus. A man who has never run for office beat a field of politicians including the bother and son of former presidents. He beat governors and congressmen. The person who barely beat him won with conservative Christians, how do you figure that will work with the rest of the nation?

Iowa Caucus Today

Today people in the first state to effect the presidential primaries vote. For the Republicans Trump has a slight advantage in the polls over the others. I still say he may not win the caucus. In fact, if he does win it will likely mean he gets the nomination and that the Republican party "leaders" (the rich and powerful) lose. It is the only type of vote where the party has the advantage over the party voters. The polls are so good for Trump in the rest of the nation that even in Florida (where Jeb Bush was elected governor and Rubio was one of their congressman) Trump has a commanding lead. In Florida Trump has 48%, Rubio 11% and Bush only has 9.5%. He is dominating his opponents in the states that they are from, this is incredible.

If the Republican party leaders are able to put Trump in a second or third place finish in Iowa it won't matter. He will destroy them in the first real primary in New Hampshire. What happens when Trump takes Florida and New York? What happens if Trump takes California? Those few states alone can determine the election. Do you understand that everyone of the candidates knows who is leading the polls in their party in each of those states and it is not being discussed by the media.

The media and the political hack class  all want to get you to focus on abortion, gay marriage and marijuana laws. They are all meaningless issues that you cannot effect. Do you believe that while there are pills that will cause babies to be aborted that a law will stop them from being used? If billions of dollars in drugs like heroin and cocaine can be brought into this country each year that abortion pills could be prevented from coming here? Do you really believe any law will prevent homosexuals from engaging in homosexual acts, death penalties did not. Do you really believe that Marijuana was used less when it was illegal in the United States or that alcohol stopped being sold in the United States during prohibition? If we changed all those laws would it bring jobs back?

I recently heard someone say that we spent more on education and health than most other western countries, yet, we are failing to provide universal healthcare or quality educations. If our taxes are higher than other nations then shouldn't we better in those areas than the Scandinavian countries and the European nations? Why do we give government loans to people attending private colleges when we have state colleges that we could fully fund and people could attend for free and it would cost less. You know, our children.
