Rand Paul Delivers Annual Festivus Airing Of Grievances

Sen. Rand Paul created a tradition a few years ago that has become a favorite among Paul's tweeter followers over the holidays. He created a “Festivus of Grievances” and this year he did not disappoint. Here are just a few highlights:

"I’m going to start out with a grievance against the entire foreign policy establishment of Washington DC, who 2 years ago were swearing that Donald Trump was going to start multiple nuclear wars or something.  

One of the things I hate most about Washington is that they have literally NO IDEA how to spend your money. That’s why I do waste reports, and do a FESTIVUS WASTE REPORT with some of the worst offenders of the year. Here are some of the worst in waste. 

NIH: spending more than $2 million on daydreaming   

$75k to throw lizards around with a leaf blower.....  

USAID spending $18 mil to promote tourism….in Egypt. 

So of course, instead of fixing waste like this and reforming government, the geniuses in Congress decided to have a fight over how much MORE money they were going to “spend” aka borrow from China. 

Speaking of which, buried in the foreign aid reports last year, I discovered something — we give foreign aid to China. So government is so dumb, it is literally borrowing money from China, to give it back to China, while paying interest on it....." 

You can read the entire Twitter thread to learn of the ways the federal government is acting like a Bronx Puerto Rican bartender finding ways to waste your hard earned taxpayer money– while it fights over a shutdown.......

Nancy Ducks Head and Runs Headlong Towards Wall

A great tip for those who wish to analyze the political world is to turn off the volume when political figures speak and just watch......watch Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer on Thursday as they reacted to President Trump’s announcement that he would not sign a funding bill to keep the government open during the next few weeks unless $5 billion for a Border Wall was provided. Pelosi was discombobulated more than usual, Schumer was on the verge of tears, again. There was no attitude by either of these clowns of “great, now we can beat Trump because he has made a grave mistake and we are going to win”. The reactions were more like “who pulled the rug out from under us????? and how do we get our balance so we don’t come crashing down???”

Then came the vote at the House of Representatives which gave the President a victory, contra Nancy Pelosi’s dire forecasts about the impossibility of such a task getting accomplished. All the bravado came from the White House with DJT and all the signs of defeat came from the Democrats.  Why was the President smiling? It's doubtful that the Senate will pass the House bill. It is likely there will be a partial shutdown of the government in time for Christmas. So why is this good news for President Trump??? Look to history for the answer and recall Bill Clinton versus Newt Gingrich. That showdown was the beginning of the end for Gingrich. Trump is planning the same for Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi will not be able to compromise with DJT because the lunatic left won’t allow her. If Pelosi compromises to end the shutdown then she will not become Speaker of the House. The entire nation will see that Pelosi won’t compromise because all she offers is “resistance”. In other words, the moment the Democrats take power in the House, total war will be the order of the day. DJT will appeal to the nation to protect the borders. Pelosi will argue against national security.

Speedy Gutierrez: Trump Would Have Killed Baby Jesus

Rep. Speedy Gonzales Gutierrez (D-Ill) used his last few seconds of time in committee to get off a sound bite for the local news and the folks back home before heading back to his district for Christmas break. I cannot imagine the outrage from the media if a Republican member of congress were to speak to and act this disrespectfully towards a female Cabinet Secretary of a Democrat Administration like this. But, here we are.....

It's Time To Face Their Charges Head On

With the coming 2020 election run-up, you can bet accusations of racism will be at the forefront. You Can Bet On It. For Democrats, leveling charges of racism is now an entirely cost and risk free exercise. They do it because it is effective, and because frankly, it costs them nothing.  It profits them in both the long and short term. Not only does it drive minority voters away from the GOP,  the fact of the matter is that the “racist” label is kryptonite to every voter demographic. People of all races now instinctively shy away from anything that has been tarred with the “racism” brush. This is a mark of progress, but, unfortunately, the conditioning is now such that far too many people fail to stop and check if the charge is true, or even if it makes sense or not. Disagreements on policy issues are all pronounced to be “secretly” due to some racial animus or some conspiracy to harm minorities. Worse yet is that every election cycle sees conservative political victories attributed to some appeal to racial bigotry and prejudice.

Make no mistake; no one – individual or group – who calls you a racist means you well. They are not trying to “communicate” with you, “enlighten” you, or “reach out” to you – they are no different from someone who falsely accuses you of rape or child abuse. He or she is actively trying to destroy you, strip you of your reputation, your livelihood. Anger and outrage is exactly what is called for here. “Sadness” and “disappointment” implies respect or some regard for that person’s opinion.

My position is that anyone who falsely accuses you of racism is not worthy of your respect, consideration or even basic courtesy. The proper response is to denounce them and dismiss them in the same harsh and uncompromising manner that you would greet a false charge of theft or lying.

Progressive identity politics, to which the vast majority of journalists are fervent adherents, stipulates that a person’s credibility should be based primarily around his race, gender and political affiliation. A woman’s word should be taken over that of a man. A Hispanic person’s word should be taken over that of a white person.  A gay person is automatically more credible than a straight person. A Democrat’s word is to be taken over that of a Republican. Endpoint; no one who calls you a racist is deserving of your respect. Take it personally. Anger. Outrage. Disdain. Contempt. That’s what’s called for. And while this may not do anything for closing the Republican deficit with minority voters, I am fairly certain that the last fifty years of tacitly confessing to someone's unfounded call of racism by running and hiding, apologizing or trying to pander and ingratiate yourself is not going to work either.
