Truth For Truth's Sake

Fort Sumter?

This writer is thinking 12 thoughts at once and that is never good. He has no sense of comparison but he would describe his inner monolog as orderly and repetitive and repetitive. If his inner dialog (usually a monolog but now and then there is some Q and A) were a cable TV station it would be C-Span II or C-Span III. Today, it is a press conference staffed with hecklers.

 

There is no shock this time. Who did not expect an assassination attempt?

 

The consensus media were slow to respond to the story and then they all reported that Trump was rushed offstage after hearing “loud noises”.

 

Was the Secret Service complicit?

 

Clif High predicted a mega-event (I can’t speak his language so I use the term mega-event) on or around July 15. He also said the release language will continue for several months.

 

The power of prayer. I don’t have reliable stats but, Trump is possibly the most prayed-for person in history. Out of the blue someone texted me an Amanda Grace video this past Tuesday that was mostly a prayer service for Trump and his family.

 

And his family…this writer’s wife, upon learning of  Trump’s close call, immediately voiced concern for the safety of Trump’s family. 

 

Is this Fort Sumter?

EDITOR’S NOTES

1. We do not link To Fox News or Fox Business News.

2. We sometimes link to Fox affiliates.

3. We sometimes link to sites that contain a video that might have a snippet from Fox News.

4. We try to avoid second hand news stories that are sourced from Fox News or Fox Business News.

5. We try to not link to sites with pay walls. This eliminates NYT and WaPo (who cares?) but also eliminates WSJ and Epoch Times. We hope that Epoch Times changes their business model because they are one of the best news outlets in the English language.

6. We believe it is more important than ever for Americans to monitor world affairs. The most influential man in America is probably George Soros and he is not in America–nor is he an American. Other understated influences on America include World Economic Forum, BBC, and CBC, to name but a few.

7. Most English language newspapers in non-English speaking countries are paid subscription sites. This presents an ongoing challenge to report on world affairs.

8. We try to avoid linking to mainstream media when possible We are not hesitant to link to mainstream sources if the news story involves raw data, such as the daily stock market or weather statistics or sports scores. Even then, we usually provide a “Mainstream” disclaimer.

The Absurdity of “Open Borders”

Some fanatical libertarian supporters of “open borders” have come up with a response to this point that has to be characterized as one of the worst arguments in the past few decades. Robert Rector mentions this argument here: “The grant of citizenship is a transfer of political power. Access to the U.S. ballot box also provides access to the American taxpayer’s bank account. This is particularly problematic with regard to low-skill immigrants. Within an active redistributionist state, as Friedman understood, unlimited immigration can threaten limited government.

 

“Many libertarians respond to this dilemma by asserting that the real problem is not open borders but the welfare state itself. The answer: dismantle the welfare state. The libertarian Cato Institute pursues a variant of this policy under the slogan, ‘build a wall around the welfare state, not around the nation.’. . . Borders should be open, but immigrants should be barred from accessing welfare and other benefits. , , . In a recent debate with Dan Griswold of the Cato Institute, I pointed out this paradox. Griswold replied that the key was to grant amnesty and open borders now and work on ‘building a wall around welfare’ at some point in the future.” See this.

In reading Sotomayor’s frenzied, angst-ridden, and petulant prose, one can easily envision the full-blown tantrum she almost certainly had in her chambers while authoring the dissent. (The 70-year-old Obama appointee recently admitted she sometimes “cries” over court decisions that don’t go her way and how “every loss truly traumatizes me in my stomach and in my heart.”)

 

Claiming the opinion “effectively creates a law-free zone around the President”—Sotomayor obviously unaware the leader of the free world and commander-in-chief of the military enjoys certain rights denied to every other American—she presented her own list of what she called “nightmare scenarios.”

 

“When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution,” she wrote. “Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.”

 

It’s unclear whether Sotomayor threw her cookie from her highchair after that.
