President Donald J. Trump should already be considered one of the best presidents in US history even though he has held office for just over two years now. Certainly Donald J. Trump is one of the great patriots the country has ever produced. Obviously liberals, leftists, socialists, communists, or whatever democrats call themselves these days would disagree vehemently. For those brave enough to have an open mind, allow me to express a few observations.
Let’s go to dictionary.com for a definition of the word, ‘patriot’. There are two definitions. The first definition is: ‘a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion’. President Trump surely meets the first definition as his detractors voice their hatred of the man for doing such.
The second definition of ‘patriot’ also fits President Trump. A patriot is ‘a person who regards himself or herself as a defender, especially of individual rights, against presumed interference by the federal government’. Given the Democratic Party’s push into socialism and satanism, not a single democrat could be defined as an ‘American patriot’. Ditto for almost all Republicans.
The stupidity of the left never ceases to amaze me. They qualify themselves with terms like ‘resist’ and ‘revolutionist’. Yet, liberals don’t seem to understand that a desire to expand governmental powers is not ‘resisting’. It is surrendering to the state. The Constitution of the US is still to this day the most revolutionary document in print because it sought very limited federal government power and the document was even immediately amended to spell out individual liberties. Liberals want to crush these individual liberties because they think their opinions are the only ones that matter. That’s not ‘revolution’. That is subservience. Note to liberals: learn some vocabulary.
President Trump does not accept a salary and takes great criticism for his ‘America first’ mentality.
Contrast that with the communist approach. What does any good communist do when they assume power? They enrich themselves. Representative Ocasio-Cortez just announced big pay raises for her staff. Why not? It’s not her money. She intends to pay her staff an average minimum of $52k per year. Interesting how this communist portrays herself as a ’just like you people’ kind of gal, but the truth is 49% of american workers make less than $30k (according to US Census Bureau).
Seventh President Andrew Jackson has no other equal and will always be the greatest American President. Jackson was the last US President to leave the country with zero debt. His budget was balanced. He ridded the country of the parasitic central bank. He kept the union together when civil war brewed on his watch. President Jackson achieved what even President Trump cannot.
The great Andrew Jackson exterminated the central bank from the soul of economic liberty. While the Congress of his day attempted to perpetuate the wicked cancer of central bankers, Andrew Jackson displayed genius and courage with the stroke of a veto pen that unleashed economic and social gain unparalleled in human history. President Jackson beautifully laid out his reasoning of the central bank veto. In summarizing, he wrote: ‘I have done my duty to my country’. Think for a moment how profound that statement truly is. President Jackson almost single-handedly made America as great as it is. President Jackson imposed fiscal discipline on his Congress and constituents alike. Thanks to Jackson inflation was nil all the way up to 1913. And to think, Jackson is also known as the father of the modern Democratic Party. A democrat who imposed fiscal discipline and zero debt! My, how far the party has fallen!
President Trump keeps a portrait of Jackson in the Oval Office. President Jackson was a patriot too. One duty of a patriot is to tell the truth. Granted, no one is completely honest but true patriots push for honesty even if their constituents don’t want to hear it. How does President Trump rank in terms of honesty, truth, and patriotism?
Well, let’s examine what we know now that we would have never known if President Trump not been elected.
President Trump exposed Hillary Clinton for the liar and criminal she is. Ms. Clinton worked with the ‘deep state’ anti-american traitors to concoct a ridiculous ‘Russian election collusion’ story to overthrown and destroy President Trump.
President Trump exposed President Barack Obama for the destructive economic and social policies he embraced. (Trade agreements that allowed countries to take advantage of the US, weapons treaties that everybody cheated, weaponized the IRS, FBI, CIA to extort money from businesses, destroyed my health insurance, etc.)
President Trump exposed the FBI and CIA as corrupt institutions filled with communists (Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, etc) who worked with democrats to affect a coup against a legitimately elected president.
President Trump exposed the ‘news media’ as a completely disingenuous, untruthful, deceitful arm of the democratic party that functions in very similar fashion to the Nazi propaganda machine of the WWII era.
President Trump exposed the democratic party, and to a degree the laughable and pathetic republican party, as pure socialists bent on destruction of american ideals. The government has taken over health care, mortgage loans, student loans, and increased the burden of regulation sufficient to strangle the strongest of economies. Democrats voted for and built a partial wall along the southern US border only to reverse course and oppose President Trump in the same effort. A nation without defined and protected borders is not a sovereign nation. It seems democrats and republicans alike opposed everything the President needs to do simply because President Trump is not a disgusting, despicable, vermin politician.
President Trump exposed the sham of the most recent election cycle as one perverted by non-citizens voting by the millions. Democrats support every non-US citizen’s right to vote in US elections except Russians apparently. Maybe democrats are simply bigots toward Russians?
President Trump has exposed emerging leaders of the democratic party for the weasels they are. Senator Pelosi is a spineless cancer who has led her party to outright socialism. Senator Harris recently claimed she was black by pandering to her listeners recalling her days in college smoking marijuana and listening to Tupac. Only, Tupac hadn’t yet recorded anything at that point and Ms. Harris’ ancestry is west Indian and Jamaican. Senator Warren claimed all her life to be ‘native american’ so her minority status could advance her all the way to a professorship at Harvard Indoctrination Center. Only, Senator Warren is not native american. Let’s not even get into horrible humans like Senator Hirono who believes white men are guilty until proven innocent and Reps Cortez, Omar, and Tliab who are not only bigots but mental midgets who despise America.
President Trump has exposed the ‘Justice Department’ to be anything but. Clearly there are multiple laws now depending on whose side we are on. Democrats can break any law and utter any hatefulness but never face consequences while republicans who do the same will be investigated, prosecuted, and vilified. While it is clear beyond 20/5 vision that Hillary Clinton and the democrats colluded with Russians and everybody else, she will never be brought to justice. The ‘Justice Department’ is now simply a gestapo arm that ignores law and justice to suit its needs. I pray to God that ‘Agent Strzok’ never comes after me to frame me for a crime I did not commit.
President Trump has exposed the Republican party for the most part as democrats with another name. A better name for this party would be ‘Lichens’. Lichens are the fungus that grows on trees. Lichens are part fungus and part algae. They just sit there. They don’t do anything. For all the pompousness and protestations of people like Trey Gowdy and Lindsey Graham, nothing ever becomes of their words. Nothing. Lichens. Sadly, most republicans are as hostile toward President Trump as the democrats. Fortunately, republicans will never have power because they are stuck outside the Senate Building pushing on the door marked ‘Pull’.
President Trump has exposed the unfairness of trade agreements signed by previous presidents and has begun to right the ship. He has brought communist China, one of the biggest cheaters on everything, to the bargaining table.
President Trump has been the leader and the example of courage as some European countries, Hungary and Italy, and South America’s largest economic power, Brazil have elected leaders like President Trump that stand up for their own citizens. Many people even in France are beginning to see they need a ‘President Trump’.
President Trump pushed forth a tax cut, along with simply his presence in the Oval Office I believe, that prompted an economic gain not seen since Jackson’s era. Unemployment is now the lowest on record. Unemployment for people of color is the lowest on record. Wages are rising. Business is booming. Maybe lower taxation and less government regulation makes the economy stronger! Duh!
President Trump exposed the Federal Reserve bank for what it is - a stock market manipulator. As the Fed sought once again to raise interest rates to push the US economy into a recession, President Trump had the intelligence and courage to pressure the Fed to cease and desist. They did and stocks continued higher. For Jacksonian greatness, President Trump will need to terminate the Federal Reserve altogether.
President Trump has exposed those who oppose him as humans possessed consumed by pure hate. The President’s opponents use words which they do not understand. They call President Trump ‘racist’, ‘homophobic’, ‘xenophobic’, and many other horrible words. But when one objectively looks at the President’s policies and actions, he is none of those things. Is his language sometimes course? Yes. Andrew Jackson was known to have a sharp tongue as well. President Jackson once said it is a lazy mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.
President Trump has exposed the job of the President as one best suited for a businessman and not an attorney. Former President Jimmie Carter is the exception but he was born without intestinal fortitude. He was also a democrat. Just sayin’. While his detractors continue to argue that President Trump is unfit for service, results speak for themselves.
President Trump has shown the world that the world needs America more than America needs the world. Like it or not, the world respects power and commitment. A few years back, Venezuela’s dictator, Hugo Chavez, had an opportunity to align his country with the US. Instead he joined Cuba and communism. His country is in total shambles today. Walk softly and wield that big stick, President Trump!
President Trump has done the unimaginable as far as the Obama administration goes in that President Trump brought nuclear power North Korea to the bargaining table. Whether or not North Korea will reduce its threat level remains to be seen. But, President Trump is the first American President to forge one-on-one-talks with the North Korean leadership.
President Trump has exposed modern sports organizations as anti-american racists. The President has spoken about jerks like Colin Kaepernick who show disdain for police officers while he shows support for criminals and communist dictators like Cuba’s Castro. Sports teams who win championships always get invited to visit the White House. While they all loved going there when a darker skinned man sat in the oval office, they refuse to even show respect for the office now that President Trump resides there. I think we all know why. I for one no longer watch sports.
President Trump has exposed the ‘entertainment’ world as a mostly pathetic bunch of whining, childish, ignorant, judgmental, self-righteous, hypocritical, condescending clowns who make money pretending to be someone else. They serve their master well.
President Trump has finally exposed the Democratic Party for its true self. By endorsing the murder of newly born babies (their ‘abortion’ view), a moral person can only conclude that allegiance to the party is allegiance to Satan. Satan requires blood sacrifice. Our Bible told us that he would eventually reveal himself. Indeed he has.
President Trump’s accomplishments are even greater considering the democrats, the FBI, the CIA, the Justice Department, and a perverted media have all sought to destroy the Trump presidency. Also worth mentioning is President Trump had to deal with perhaps the biggest traitor in American history, his AG Jeff Sessions.
President Jackson had, in his day, similar foes who worked vociferously against him. Genius is never recognized in the present. Van Gogh supposedly only sold one painting in his lifetime. Rodin was rejected from art school twice. Einstein was relegated to working as a clerk in a patents office. Copernicus spent his end days under house arrest for his idea that the Earth orbited the sun. Michael Jordan was told to go to trade school. Idiots never recognize genius in their presence.
True, the criterion bar of great Presidents is very low. Few people, other than myself, seem to understand, for example, why President Obama flew down to Antarctica near the end of his term. Once upon a time the Presidential bar of competency was lowered so that it was laying on the ground. Any breathing life form could surpass this level. I believe this was done after President Lincoln. Then came President Wilson and it was realized that Wilson was the most horrific leader ever unleashed on humanity. Think the Federal Reserve Bank, the federal government getting access to payroll tax, prohibition, WWI, etc. - all on Wilson’s watch. His bar had to go even lower. So, I believe engineers began to drill into the Earths crust to find a low enough position for Wilson’s bar of competency/destruction. They went to Antarctica and drilled through the crust to the lower mantle. That was still too high so they drilled to the lowest point of the Earth to the inner core. They laid Wilson’s bar there. Many others have followed. Johnson, Nixon, Crater(a nod to Pat Paulson), Bush, and Bush. President Obama’s bar was laid there with Wilson and Bush I and II. That’s what I think.
While he is not perfect, President Donald J. Trump continues to do his duty to his country. He has shown us a lot of truth. Most of it is ugly but a free people are only free if they live the truth. President Donald J. Trump is a patriot. We should all stand and salute! If nothing else, we all owe President Donald J. Trump a debt of gratitude. At least we know the face of America’s real enemies.

Federal Reserve Colludes With Banks To Drive Up Stock Prices
2/22/19
Insider trading occurs when someone makes money investing in a public market with knowledge unavailable to the public. Martha Stewart was jailed for such activity or more specifically, lying about insider trading.
Insider trading is a charge reserved for little people. The swamp protects its own.
Insider trading was even perfectly legal for our members of Congress until just a few years ago. Speaker of the House Pelosi is known to have made a tidy fortune with such privilege. For instance, when Visa announced an IPO, Ms. Pelosi bought in. Is she a great investor? Hardly. There was legislation in the House that would have added regulations to credit card companies like Visa but Ms. Pelosi made sure that legislation never made it to the voting floor. Imagine, a proposed government regulation that Pelosi did NOT agree with. I wonder why? Visa IPO’d and burst higher enriching Ms. Pelosi. Today, the same speaker calls for a ‘moral economy’. Really?
Incidentally, legislation barring congressional member inside trading used to be considered unnecessary because surely our elected leaders would have the decency to refrain from such unfair practices. What kind of low-life scum goes to congress only to enrich themselves with immoral practices? Uh, well, given the afore mentioned Pelosi parasite and the rest of our recent members of government, Congress passed a bill to prohibit this practice in 2012.
I had an investment advisory practice during this time. Had I done what Ms. Pelosi did, I would likely still be in prison. Which brings me to the story at hand.
As of 2/22/19, we suddenly witness the best start to the Dow in 55 years! The Dow is up 9 weeks in a row. That’s the best streak in 25 years! The Dow is up 8 weeks in a row to start the year. That hasn’t happened since 1964! This streak is marked on the chart with the green ‘Fed Wave’ arrow as shown on the chart below.
Before the recent ‘Fed Wave’, 2018 saw an ugly ‘Blue Wave’ down as democrats took solid control of the US House of Representatives. Communism is not conducive to strong economics. This decline is the blue line on the chart below.
And before that, stocks had rallied nicely due to the belief at the time that the democrats might not gain such a House majority. Sure, the democrats rigged the elections but that’s another story. But, that election rigging was another fear of a people who understand that liberty leads to prosperity. Restricted liberty leads to poverty. Democrats peddle poverty. Or, as communist democrat Bernie ‘the talking coconut’ espouses, communism is great because once it destroys the economy the new communist government can feed people with bread lines. Only a total idiot would follow a fellow idiot into proven failure. Sadly, America has a sizable population of idiots.
Back to the recent ‘Fed Wave’. It should be clear to anyone with a functioning brain cell that the Federal Reserve Bank, as I have written for the past 20 years, is a bank cabal designed to destroy the US by redistribution wealth to the upper elite class by inflation, money printing, and debt slavery. All the while, they keep the stupid people fooled by rigging stock prices higher and higher. Corporate earnings are as meaningless as a referee in a WWE wrestling match. They are part of the scenery that gives the illusion of credibility. Forget Elliot waves. Forget technical charts. All as meaningless as an economics degree from Boston University. Even Ocasio-Cortez has one of those.
Stocks rise when the Fed says they should rise. Again, as I have been writing the Federal Reserve establishes what I call the Dikembe Mutombo Line. Readers can review my past postings on the subject but I predicted months ago that the Dow 24k line was a DML Sure the democrat take over of the House exacerbated a stock selloff but not to fear. The Dow dipped below 24k and dropped to the 22k level by Christmas Eve, 2018. Did panic set in? The Nasdaq actually fell 20% to where pundits mentioned the word ‘bear’. Interestingly, the Fed let the S&P 500 fall 19% before they put Dikembe to work.
Here is the scene. The Dow suffered its biggest Christmas Eve loss in history.
Then, according to Treasury Secretary Mnuchin himself, the PPT (Plunge Protection Team) convened. What did they do? Well, Mr. Mnuchin himself says he called leaders of the six largest US banks - JP Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Wells Fraudulent (Has Wells Fargo officially changed their name yet to denote their actually banking practices?).
Guess what happened the next trading day? Yep, the Dow logged its best ‘day after Christmas’ in history! The Dow was up a thousand points. Small caps were up. Mids were up. Everything. Antarctica? Yeah, it was up. Saturn, Neptune, the Andromeda Galaxy? Yes, didn’t I say ‘everything’? Up, up, up! On Doner and Blitzen and Dasher and…uh. Wait a minute. That’s the other Santa Claus. I get the Fed and Santa of the North Pole mixed up.
Investors may have felt smug and smart but not so fast. Really smart investors had their money where it really gained. Yes, I’m talking about Venezuela! Their stock index was up over 6% in a single bound. Wait a minute, that’s Superman. I get him mixed up with the Fed too.
Sure the stock market is rigged. Sure, it’s a complete con game. Of course, this makes the anti-capitalists like antifa look like absolute morons. To be clear, to anyone with a functioning brain cell, the US is not a capitalist nation. Why then do some people complain about economic unfairness due to capitalism? A system in which the Federal Reserve Bank rigs the stock markets in favor of the rich and famous is in no way capitalist. Why do I think so? Empirical evidence. As Yogi Berri once said, “You can observe a lot just by watching.”
On Christmas Eve, the Nasdaq had fallen into an official bear market. The Dow and S&P were close behind. The PPT met. The next day stocks began to rally and have not stopped since. Coincidence? What else could so immediately arrest a bear market and turn it into a bull market in eight weeks? Before Christmas Eve, President Trump floated the idea of firing Fed Chief Powell because the President was unhappy about the Fed’s course of interest rate hikes. Mr. Powell got the message. The PPT convened. Ergo, stock prices are fixed by the Fed. Nothing else matters.
So, here is what we should all wonder.
Does this chart below look like normal investing?
Does this chart reflect a ‘market’ as it simply goes up every single day every single week?
Is it even possible for the stock indices to suffer a daily loss? Weekly?
The Fed met with the leaders of the six largest US banks to discuss the fall of the stock market. Do you think they talked about auto manufacturing? Utility output? The unemployment rate? Ha! Of course not. This is all about the stock market and how to manipulate it higher. We have to keep the stupid people fooled!
So, I ask again, what did the Fed tell the big banks that the Fed did not tell the rest of us?
I’m guessing it went like this. The Fed said to the cabal bankers, “Guess what I’m going to do tomorrow?” At this point they are winking rapidly at the listener.
I’m guessing the banksters immediately phoned their trading desks with the good news. Go all in, Baby! The Harlem Globetrotters are playing tomorrow and I know whom to bet on. Away, Prancer and Dasher…
Sorry, I keep getting the Fed confused. But to the point. Is this not insider trading? What if Mr. Powell had called any of the rest of us and told us what was going to happen the day after Christmas?
Why doesn’t the Fed start a lottery where they randomly choose six people to dial up before their next big intervention?
Why doesn’t the US government move all of my social security money to JP Morgan for the win, Alex!
All I’m asking is why can’t Mr. Powell give me a quick ring before his next big move? Insider trading can be very profitable. It’s the ‘american way’. Just ask Nancy Pelosi and the big banks.

Jussie Smollett And The Murder Of Emmett Till
by Barry Ferguson
2/18/19
Quick history background. Back in 1955, a 14-year old black teenager named Emmett Till was visiting relatives in a small town in Mississippi. He entered a store owned by a white couple. The white woman in the store was 21-year old Carolyn Bryant. She accused Emmet Till of touching her in a menacing way. The black boy was attacked four days later by a mob of white folks hellbent on revenge. Evidence and truth be damned. The white men savagely beat the young black boy before shooting him in the head and dumping his body, tied with barbed wire, off a bridged into the Tallahatchie River. Emmett’s body was beaten almost beyond recognition yet his mother insisted on an open casket so everyone could see what had happened to her son. What courage this woman must have. As for those of us who have taken the time to learn real history, this terrible miscarriage of justice still leaves a sickening feeling in the stomach some seventy years later.
In later years, Ms. Bryant recanted her story. She made it up at the time. Witnesses offered that young Emmett may have whistled at the white woman. That is all. The young man was beaten and killed by a lynch mob fueled by pure hate.
Today, Jessie Smollett is the gay black actor who has repeated this same vile act. He claimed that two white guys wearing MAGA hats jumped him on the streets of Chicago, doused him with bleach, put a noose around his neck, and beat him as they shouted ‘This is MAGA country’. As always, the media went full throttle anti-Trump. As always, Hollywood celebs piled on with their hate. As always, the democrat leadership piled on with their race-baiting hatred. Two democrats who want to ‘represent’ all of us as the next Presidential election offered their racist hatred. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker practically started rounding up a lynch mob. What else would one expect of their kind?
As truth, and good police investigation, has shown light on this story, it appears that Mr. Smollett made the whole thing up. In fact, he staged this insanity with a couple of other actor friends. They bought the noose. They bought the red hats. Mr. Smollett paid the two friends for their participation. Fortunately in this case, no one was killed.
The Emmett Till story will always repeat as long as this insane hatred for people of differing skin color exists. In 1955, it was a white woman falsely charging a black person with an assault. In 2019, it is a black man falsely accusing two white men of assault. Both accusers are equally racist. There is no difference. In 1955 a lynch mob killed an innocent young man. In 2019 a lynch mob formed to not just try and kill an innocent man but to defame an entire race. This modern day lynch mob formed to condemn a President and all who support him.
Jussie Smollett and Carolyn Bryant have committed the same heinous sin. They both used their own detestable racism in an attempt to foment a racial divide. Those who join them in false accusations are as guilty as any lynch mob. Those who make excuses for them are just as contemptible. Those who took his side as much as fashioned a noose for an innocent man. Isn’t it horrible enough that a young man like Emmett Till lost his life 70 years ago because of racism?
Smollett is a racist. So too are all of his Hollywood, media, and political friends. Senator Feinstein and Senator Waters of California and Senator Hirono of Hawaii have all taken turns fashioning the noose of bigotry. They fomented this mentality by letting Blarney-Ford get away with that ridiculous Kavanaugh theatre. They did so to selfishly advance their cause. They are despicable human beings. Ditto for every pathetic person that voiced their hate toward the imaginary MAGA attackers.
What if a lynch mob had rounded up a couple of innocent white kids and killed them? Would Jussie have intervened with the truth? I doubt it.
What kind of people call Mr. Smollett a ‘friend’? I suspect like-minded racist lynch mob kind of people.
Has a person wearing a MAGA hat ever assaulted anyone?
Is it somehow against the law to have a different political opinion today?
Is it time to officially categorized ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ as a psychiatric disorder?
Do liberals like Mr. Smollett think everybody is as stupid as they are and will believe anything as long as it makes President Trump look bad?
Welcome to the real world. I live in the South. Yes I know. The ‘media’ always says ‘racist south’. Yet just the other day, I was exiting a store just as a black gentleman was entering. The other gentleman got to the door before me and opened the door of the store. He said to me, ‘Come ahead, Brother’. I’m a white boy. I accepted his graciousness and courtesy and exited. I responded, ‘Thank you, Sir.’ Two men. Different skin color. Kindness. Courtesy. Respect. We are all just people. I don’t see the racism that the media and the politicians keep harping about. There are obviously some misunderstandings but a hangman’s noose is not tool to solve anything.
When we stand together we Americans stand on top of world. When we stand together, we might all understand that the American political system as a polluted cesspool of the lowest form of humanity to ever drag knuckles across the Earth. When we stand together we might finally charge that human sewer we call Washington and rid ourselves of the parasites that feed on us. Make no mistake. The human garbage that lined up behind Mr. Smollett and his absurd theatre should not only apologize to the rest of humanity but they should be on their knees begging forgiveness from their Maker. I wonder what Emmett Till would think of Mr. Smollett?

Quick history background. Back in 1955, a 14-year old black teenager named Emmett Till was visiting relatives in a small town in Mississippi. He entered a store owned by a white couple. The white woman in the store was 21-year old Carolyn Bryant. She accused Emmet Till of touching her in a menacing way. The black boy was attacked four days later by a mob of white folks hellbent on revenge. Evidence and truth be damned. The white men savagely beat the young black boy before shooting him in the head and dumping his body, tied with barbed wire, off a bridged into the Tallahatchie River. Emmett’s body was beaten almost beyond recognition yet his mother insisted on an open casket so everyone could see what had happened to her son. What courage this woman must have. As for those of us who have taken the time to learn real history, this terrible miscarriage of justice still leaves a sickening feeling in the stomach some seventy years later.
In later years, Ms. Bryant recanted her story. She made it up at the time. Witnesses offered that young Emmett may have whistled at the white woman. That is all. The young man was beaten and killed by a lynch mob fueled by pure hate.
Today, Jessie Smollett is the gay black actor who has repeated this same vile act. He claimed that two white guys wearing MAGA hats jumped him on the streets of Chicago, doused him with bleach, put a noose around his neck, and beat him as they shouted ‘This is MAGA country’. As always, the media went full throttle anti-Trump. As always, Hollywood celebs piled on with their hate. As always, the democrat leadership piled on with their race-baiting hatred. Two democrats who want to ‘represent’ all of us as the next Presidential election offered their racist hatred. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker practically started rounding up a lynch mob. What else would one expect of their kind?
As truth, and good police investigation, has shown light on this story, it appears that Mr. Smollett made the whole thing up. In fact, he staged this insanity with a couple of other actor friends. They bought the noose. They bought the red hats. Mr. Smollett paid the two friends for their participation. Fortunately in this case, no one was killed.
The Emmett Till story will always repeat as long as this insane hatred for people of differing skin color exists. In 1955, it was a white woman falsely charging a black person with an assault. In 2019, it is a black man falsely accusing two white men of assault. Both accusers are equally racist. There is no difference. In 1955 a lynch mob killed an innocent young man. In 2019 a lynch mob formed to not just try and kill an innocent man but to defame an entire race. This modern day lynch mob formed to condemn a President and all who support him.
Jussie Smollett and Carolyn Bryant have committed the same heinous sin. They both used their own detestable racism in an attempt to foment a racial divide. Those who join them in false accusations are as guilty as any lynch mob. Those who make excuses for them are just as contemptible. Those who took his side as much as fashioned a noose for an innocent man. Isn’t it horrible enough that a young man like Emmett Till lost his life 70 years ago because of racism?
Smollett is a racist. So too are all of his Hollywood, media, and political friends. Senator Feinstein and Senator Waters of California and Senator Hirono of Hawaii have all taken turns fashioning the noose of bigotry. They fomented this mentality by letting Blarney-Ford get away with that ridiculous Kavanaugh theatre. They did so to selfishly advance their cause. They are despicable human beings. Ditto for every pathetic person that voiced their hate toward the imaginary MAGA attackers.
What if a lynch mob had rounded up a couple of innocent white kids and killed them? Would Jussie have intervened with the truth? I doubt it.

Is Rep. Ilhan Omar Insanely Stupid?
Barry M. Ferguson
Minnesota’s socialist/marxist/communist America-hating US Rep Ilhan Omar has demanded that the state’s AG investigate the USA Powerlifting organization for discrimination because the organization won’t allow a man who identifies as a woman to compete against biological women. Ms. Omar thinks this is a case of discrimination against a transgender person from her constituency.
Ms. Omar states in her letter to the AG the following: “The myth that trans women have a “direct competitive advantage” is not supported by medical science, and it continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk communities in the world.” Ms. Omar cites a recent case in which the Independent Women’s Football League refused to allow a man identifying as a woman to participate in league play because ‘she is transgender’. The transgender person was awarded $20k in a lawsuit.
Let me explain the idiocy and irony of this idiot from idiot-land. Too harsh? Ms. Omar won her house election with 78% of the vote.
First, just because a person is ‘transgender’ does not give them the right and privilege to do anything they want. Discrimination is as overused as racism by the idiots that want special treatment. If a transperson has to sit in the back of the bus because there are no other empty seats, is that discrimination as well? If a transperson can’t automatically move to the front of a buffet line, is that discrimination as well? Is it discrimination when an airline won’t let a transperson who has never flown an airplane captain a aircraft?
Second, Ms. Omar claims that medical science does not support the idea that men transpeople have a physical advantage over biological females. Really? Ever play golf? There are two tees. One for men and one for women. Note to Ms. Omar - the men’s tee is furtherest from the hole. Why? Maybe because men are discriminated against by golf clubs? No, men are stronger and hit the ball further.
Let’s look at the brute strength sport of powerlifting. A quick check of world records shows that in every weight class, men who hold records in the bench press lifted a weight more than three times their body weight and one record is held by a man who quadrupled his body weight. Only one woman has ever tripled her body weight in the bench press. Medical science? Somebody needs to get this woman’s elementary school transcript. There is no way this woman ever went to college. (Actually, Ms. Omar holds a degree from North Dakota State. College degrees are not what they used to be.) This is stupidity on a level beyond Elmer Fudd. She seems to have skipped a few classes in anatomy and physiology. Maybe it was because she was busy marrying her brother to skirt immigration laws?
Third, Ms. Omar claims this type of ‘discrimination’ ‘continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk communities in the world’. Huh? Stoke fear? Fear of what - being told ‘No you are not allowed’. Violence? I try to keep up with the news yet I have yet to read a story concerning violence towards a transperson. Most at-risk communities in the world? If this transperson is a serious powerlifter, I’m guessing they should be strong enough to take care of themselves.
Sorry, Ms. Omar but the most at-risk community in the world right now are the babies born in states like New York. The state just legalized infanticide with the full blessing of Ms. Omar’s political party. In the spirit of anti-discrimination, I think that since the mother can give birth to a baby in New York and then have a discussion with doctors about whether on not they should kill the baby, that it only makes sense to allow the baby to decide in that same discussion whether or not the mother should be allowed to live. Maybe the mother smoked crack or boozed it up in pregnancy. Now the baby is born and alive. Maybe the baby is pissed that the previous nine months have not been so swift and the mother has to go. But back to the idiot.
Forth, Ms. Omar cites the recent case in which a man transperson was refused from participation in a women’s football league. Why can’t women enjoy an activity just amongst themselves? The NFL puts enormous emphasis on safety of players. Why would a women’s sport not also be afforded the same efforts? If anything, this case discriminates against women. Biological women do not want to engage in contact sports with men for obvious reasons. Ms. Omar seems have have not only skipped classes on anatomy and physiology but also physics. Harder denser objects (men by nature have denser bone structure and muscle tissue) colliding with softer objects (women - thank God they are softer) will do damage to the softer objects.
Fifth, and lastly, here is the irony. Ms. Omar submitted her letter to the AG of Minnesota, Mr. Ellison. Mr. Ellison himself is an accused domestic abuser of a lady friend. The accusation was that Mr. Ellison physically dragged his girlfriend out of his house. Really? Seems biologic males do indeed have a physical advantage over biological females.
The district in Minnesota that elected Ms. Omar must be very proud. Or, maybe they are all as dumb as their ‘representative’. God help us!
