A note to TSA

 GO BOINK YOURSELVES!!! I didn't mean to be rude but, GO BOINK YOURSELVES!! Seriously, your boss, Alejandro Mayorkas, is in violation of his oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Democrats can claim that allowing a hundred thousand people a month cross the border doesn't constitute an invasion, but they can't make it be true. If Donald Trump is guilty of insurrection for telling his constituents to peacefully and respectfully protest the results of an election that was probably rigged then Joe Biden and Alejandro are certainly advocating an insurrection by inviting people from all over the world, including terrorists, at least by not allowing any screening process at all, to cross our border illegally. In my mind they are openly calling for an insurrection. We don't know how many terrorists are here now, but we know it is likely a sizable army. 

We also know that terrorists are among the most patient people in the world and very well financed. We also know they are dedicated to their cause. They are charming and easy to get along with until their number comes up then they are vicious murderers who easily torture and kill people who thought they were friends. Because many of us recognize the threat from our porous southern border democrats have labeled anyone with the brains and the guts to question the loyalty of the DHS, and by extension the TSA, racists. We readily welcome anyone who wants to immigrate here to apply and assimilate to the American society. It is a great way of life, but we don't want to share it with terrorists who are only here awaiting the signal to commit mass murder. 

I don't pretend to understand the democrat mind. It is beyond my comprehension why they want to accuse me of being a racist just because I support keeping America safe from terrorism. How can petty partisanship become so blinding? I can understand people disagreeing with each other, that is natural. There are a lot of problems to solve and there are a lot of different ways to solve a problem so disagreements are inevitable. Avoiding another terrorist attack should be a problem we could work on as a common interest. In 2001 when terrorists struck New York City for a couple of hours Republicans and democrats stood together with a common goal. All members of Congress stood on the steps of the Capitol Building and sang 'God Bless America'. Too bad it didn't last. I didn't know anyone in my town who didn't think it was time to rip some heads off overseas as well as inside this country. All Americans became ultra vigilant about looking for potential terrorists which did have the effect of focusing a lot of scrutiny on Muslims in our midst. Instead of helping Americans tamp down those fears, which were understandable and potentially dangerous to American Muslims, Federal legislators and law enforcement officials labelled Americans with legitimate concerns as racists and Islamophobes. They should have undertaken and immediate investigation of all Muslims here on temporary student and work visas and deported anyone here on an expired visa. At least then we would have known that something tangible was being done to ensure our safety. Traveling with my children one of them observed a group of Muslim men on the plane, at least their appearance was Middle Eastern, and I had to help him understand that there was no need to fear since at least for a little while it was going to be harder for terrorists to take control of a passenger jet and crash it. 

Not long after that there were a couple of examples of terrorists bringing explosives onto international flights. Adulmatallab was issued a valid visa issued by the United States by officials who knew he had been in recent contact with terrorists abroad. He boarded a commercial carrier armed with a high explosive which was hidden in his underwear. He was successful in igniting the device about thirty minutes out of Detroit, the planes destination. The device malfunctioned and the only person injured was the terrorist himself when he accidentally set himself on fire. Flight attendants put out the flames and the terrorist was arrested upon arrival in Detroit. Another terrorist, Richard Reid, had explosives hidden in his shoe. He was allowed to board a commercial airliner in Paris and fly to Miami, Florida. While on the flight Reid attempted to deploy the explosives but was stopped by a flight attendant. He claimed to be working alone, but that proved to be untrue. He was later tried, convicted and sentenced to three consecutive life sentences plus 110 years. Both of these incidents occurred after the events of 911 and were not prevented by the TSA.

Far too many TSA agents are badge heavy bullies. I have two close family members who have metal medical devices implanted inside their bodies. Both of them have identification cards that were issued by Medtronics and they have their government issued identification cards. Every time they go to an airport the metal sets off the alarm and they still are subjected to a separate 'pat down' search even though their pockets are empty and their bags have been thoroughly searched. Of course they still set off the metal detector and they are still allowed to board the plane, and they still don't know if those family members have a bomb implanted. Why the search? It wastes time and some of the TSA employees are pretty invasive and even rude? I was traveling with a friend who is a police officer and he had his badge with him. He put the badge and his ID card in the tray and went through the metal detector and x-ray machine without any problems. He was not carrying a firearm, just his badge. The TSA agent tested him for gunshot residue obviously hoping of a 'positive' test so he could prevent him from boarding our flight.

There is a need for security at airports, but for whatever reason the TSA is just not doing the job. Another of GW Bush's many failures. It seems to me they may actually be making air travel less safe by making people nervous the minute they enter an American airport. It's no fun emptying your pockets, taking out computers and cell phones, removing your shoes and being barked at by some sour pus in uniform. It makes people even more nervous before they board the plane. Once on the plane they are herded around by flight attendants who are no longer service oriented, but behave more like law enforcement officers. 

The organization of the TSA was a knee jerk reaction to a horrible attack and as such it was not well thought or well planned. The TSA falls under the umbrella of Department of Homeland Security, another unwieldy bureaucratic mess. Today it is run by an idiot named Alejandro Mayorkas. He is so concerned about Security that he has opened up a corridor all along the southern border with Mexico so anyone in the world who wants to can enter the United States without worrying about anyone knowing they are here. That includes terrorists of course, but democrats want us to believe that terrorists either are not interested in the United States any more or they would never enter illegally across the southern border. The TSA is weak and the lack of intelligent leadership handicaps it even more. The TSA is an eleven billion dollar black hole where money disappears and we see no results from the investment. That's billion; with a 'B'.

Harvard and the KKK

Harvard is arguably the most recognizable university in the country. It is the oldest, opening its doors in 1636. And it was for a few hundred years a highly respected school. I don't know how openly anti semitic Harvard has been over the past three centuries, but today they don't even try to hide it. Possibly for the first time in the history of Harvard Jews are afraid to attend classes. Two months ago Palestinians conducted a well planned attack on Israel killing over a thousand Jews, beheading at least forty babies, and raping women in front of their families then killing them. They also took a couple hundred hostages with them when they fled back to Palestine. 

The Israelis are angry about that. The prime minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu has promised to destroy the ruling party of Palestine, a group calling itself Hamas. While this attack was taking place Palestinians all over the world, including every major American city were celebrating, dancing and cheering in the streets while carrying the Palestinian flag. For added fun they were chanting "Death to Israel" and "Death to America!" All this was taking place in the country that was offering them protection from tyranny such as that which was being showered on the Jewish people in Israel. Unbelievably some people chanting with them were carrying the symbol of the homosexuals; the so-called Rainbow flag. In Palestine they would be killed just for being homosexual, they wouldn't dare display that flag. There is no way to fathom the depths of the ignorance of the average Democrat. The same demonstrations were taking place on the campuses and universities across the country including Harvard. On the Harvard campus several groups were chanting, "From the river to the Sea Palestine will be free!" which is a well known call for genocide; the extermination of all Jews. Where have we heard that before? It sure sounds familiar. Isn't that what Adolf Hitler was doing in the 1930's and 1940's?

Netanyahu has been carrying out his threat to annihilate Hamas for a little less than two months. It took a couple of weeks to plan the advance into Palestine and mobilize the necessary equipment. Aerial bombing came first then artillery and an infantry advance. Of course civilian casualties have been massive. Palestinians hide all of their rocket launching sites and artillery batteries next to hospitals and schools. they place others next to people's houses in civilian neighborhoods. That is considered a 'war crime' in the civilized world but these aren't civilized people. The Israeli Defense Force is doing its best to keep civilian casualties to a minimum, but Palestinians are doing their best to maximize them. They consider it an honor to die in the war against the Jews. It is an honor even to sacrifice your children for such a noble cause. These people are sick. Of course their leaders are out front facing the foe and leading them into battle right? Nah, that would be stupid, even suicidal. They are safe hundreds of miles away living in multi million dollar condominiums in Dubai. They are eating lavish dinners and enjoying life while their people are happily sacrificing their lives for Allah. 

Allah must be one sick puppy. For at least seventy years Israelis have been begging the Palestinian people to at least love their own children more that they hate Jewish children, but that is too much to ask. To Harvard elites it is okay to advocate genocide against all Jews. It isn't enough to protest the violent Israeli counter attack, which is a discussion that could be had; they have to advocate for the murder of all Jews which is unacceptable. When asked about Harvard's position on genocide the president of the university, Claudine Gay, said that Harvard is proud of its position on freedom of speech "Even if it makes some people uncomfortable." How very open minded of them. 

I wish I lived on the East coast sometimes. I'd love to organize a rally of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan on Harvard campus and find out how they feel about seeing the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy along with people in black face with nooses around their necks, others carrying signs and chanting "Niggers not welcome here!" and "Jim Crow was right! Bring back slavery. Give a nigger a job!" or some other such nonsense. I'd love to see how the Harvard crowd would react to such a gathering. Klansmen don't like Black people, or Jewish people, or  Palestinian people. The truth is they don't like anyone who isn't a member of the Klan. It would be great fun, but it ain't going to happen. Too bad. I'm no Kluxer, not by a long shot. I put the Klan on the same level as the Palestinians; they are a terrorist group not worthy of anyone's respect. I am a fan of people in positions of authority providing protection to people under their control. In this case the Jewish students are under siege every day from an international terrorist group threatening the total annihilation of Jews. That is a serious threat considering the recent barbaric attack against Israel by the Palestinians. 

But no, Harvard thinks it's best to protect the terrorists. Personally I'd expel every student advocating violence against a group of other students on campus. I just must not be very smart I guess, after all the rumor is that you have to be among the smartest people in the world to attend Harvard. In addition to having the opportunity to advocate the murder of people you don't like no one at Harvard gets lower than a-B grade according to administration policy. No wonder they're so smart. According to an article in the school newspaper, the Crimson, the administration had to do something to justify the $250,000 tuition. So how is Harvard any different from the KKK? 

I guess the difference is that the administration of Harvard doesn't necessarily hate Jews; Claudia Gay has said she abhors the language employed by the Palestinian students, but they have a right to their opinion. The administration of the Klan openly hates several groups of people; Catholics, Black people, Muslims to name a few. At least when Jews are beaten into a coma at Harvard they know that the school president wishes it hadn't happened. As a practical matter I don't think it makes a lot of difference. How I wish I could organize a Klan rally at or near Harvard. Claudia Gay is a black woman who plagiarized her way through school, including a PhD program. That goes against just about everything Harvard is supposed to stand for, except it isn't cool to fire a Black woman so they let her stay.

Of course there is a lot of difference between Harvard University and the Knights of the Ku klux Klan but I wish Harvard had the courage to at least stand up for the right of a people to exist instead of protecting the Palestinians' right to advocate the extermination of an entire race of people.

Trump 2024

Ever since Barak Obama won the election the assault on American civil rights has accelerated. For eight years he constantly reminded leftist Americans and the rest of the world that America is a racist country. He weaponized every office under his control to stifle conservative organizations. His IRS was allowed to refuse tax exempt status for any conservative organizations who applied. The member of the IRS who oversaw tax emptions, Lois Lerner, routinley denied any request from a conservative organization. The director of the IRS refused to cooperate with a Congressional investigation and allowed Lerner to erase thousands of emails generated during her time with the IRS. Obama's DOJ launched an attack on the Second Amendment by selling guns to Mexican Cartel leaders supposedly in an effort to trace them and find out who was running guns in America. Two of those guns were used to murder American Border patrol agent, Brian Terry. The guns were sold to criminals as part of an operation hatched by the attorney general, Eric Holder. 

The object of Fast and Furious supposedly was to catch American gun stores illegally selling guns to criminals. The details are sketchy because Holder refused to cooperate with the subsequent Congressional investigation. What little they did share disclosed that the ATF was supposed to track all of the guns sold and investigate the buyers. Almost immediately they lost track of the guns being sold until there was a shootout between a Mexican drug cartel and the Border Patrol north of Nogales, Arizona during which a border patrol agent, Brian Terry was killed. Most of the cartel members escaped, but one was wounded and left behind. He was taken  into custody and given a lighter sentenced in return for identifying the guys who were with him. 

When Hilary Clinton was being investigated for keeping top secret documents on a private server in her residence where anyone in the world would have access to them Obama's attorney general and FBI director allowed her to erase everything on her server and destroy the cell phones of anyone who worked for her or was close to her. She destroyed tens of thousands of emails that were evidence. Bill Clinton had a secret meeting with the attorney general at an airport in Arizona where it was reported that they talked about the weather. When the investigation was concluded the FBI director said Bloody Hilary did in fact have classified documents stored in an unsecured area where they could be and possibly were compromised, but she didn't break any laws because she was only being reckless with top secret documents and no criminal intent could be attached to her activities so there would be no criminal filing against her. 

She lost the election in 2015 and America was spared for four years. Hilary Clinton spent the next four plus years claiming the election was rigged. She ought to know, it was her people who rigged it they just didn't do it right that time. Donald Trump restored dignity to the White House and brought prosperity back to the United States. For four years America was on the right track then in 2019 a man who could barely remember his own name, Joe Biden, barely campaigned for office and basically hid in his basement during the campaign and supposedly received the most votes any candidate had ever received in the history of American elections and was coronated in January 2020. Donald Trump claimed that was impossible and gathered evidence of election fraud and now Joe Biden's evil attorney general and the FBI are trying to put him in prison for life because he demanded an investigation into election fraud and he's running for the presidency again in 2024. You can bet your flabby American butt that if he weren't running for office no one would care what files he had in his office. Shoot, Bill Clinton had a staffer go into the archives and hide top secret documents in his pants and smuggle them out, hiding them behind a trash can. He got caught and I think he admitted to accidentally removing the files and had to do some community service. Hilary Clinton stole half the furniture in the West Wing and was forced to return it. She only returned some of it. 

Donald Trump is being charged with a crime. Every president takes home some items that the National Archives chief later claims belong in the archives and not at the president's home. Donald Trump was cooperating fully with them while they determined which files he could keep, but the attorney general and FBI director weren't satisfied so they took an FBI swat team to Florida to raid Trump's residence and remove not only archive files, but personal items belonging to Donald Trump, including his passport. At first they claimed that was a mistake and they would return it. Obviously they knew about the bogus criminal charges that were about to be filed. Now we know that they claim he was a flight risk. Yeah right. The president of the United States is a flight risk.  

Democrats have trampled the Constitution and the rule of law in their frenzy to win reelection. They are obviously scared to death of losing their power in Washington D.C. And they should be; when he wins the election and takes office he will be ready to file criminal charges agaisnt the whole damn bunch. You can bet he's been collecting evidence for at least the past three plus years. In order to keep Donald Trump from even running a campaign they've filed multiple false criminal charges against him from New York City to Atlanta Georgia. In Colorado they tried to remove his name from the ballot so no one there could vote for him. 

Of course I'm a supporter of Donald Trump. He never did anything against the Constitution. He truly loves this country and expects people around the world to love their countries. He isn't a polished politician just a man who speaks his mind and isn't worried if people like what he has to say. If they like him they'll vote for him if not, they'll vote for the guy who can't reliably make a coherent statement. I'm looking forward to the election next year and listening to Donald Trump's acceptance speech after he wins. I'm also looking forward to having a president who respects the law and won't weaponize cabinet members and get them to illegally go after his political opponents and try to put them in prison for life for running against him in an election. 

They tried to prove he was taking bribes from the Russian government and the closest they could get was a few years prior he had made plans to build a hotel in Moscow. It never happened. They tried to prove he did dirty things with prostitutes in Moscow hotel rooms, they even claimed to have photographs. Their photographs quickly proved to be fake. They tried to prove that the Trump campaign approached Russian spies and asked them to dig up dirt on Hilary. Democrats are bold, but not very imaginative; they're the ones who approached a British spy asking him to dig up dirt on Donald Trump. The man sold them a phony 'dossier' that made some outrageous claims about Trump. None of them were true. Later the British spy himself admitted that he had no confidence in the content of his report to democrats and the FBI. People told him things and he put those things in his report. He didn't trust the veracity of any of the people quoted in his fictitious file. 

Democrats convened two impeachment trials claiming to have overwhelming evidence that President Trump had committed treason against the United States of America. They didn't even have credible rumors against Donald Trump. Every democrat but one voted for impeachment and there were a couple of fake Republicans who voted with them. He was acquitted. Hopefully the fake Republicans lost their next election bids. One of the first things President Trump did was secure the release of an American being held in a North Korean prison having being convicted of espionage after being caught removing a poster of Kim Jung Un from a wall in a building somewhere in North Korea. Stupid move, but he was a college kid and a liberal and he paid dearly for that act of stupidity. Shortly after being released and arriving in the United States he died from wounds he received during a beating at the hands of prison guards before he was released. 

During his presidency president Trump visited the headquarters of NATO and told them point blank that he expected them to start paying their dues. He even had the good sense to question the need for NATO. The organization was formed as an alliance to protect Western Europe from the Soviet Union. President reasonably asked now that the Soviet Union no longer existed if there was a need to keep funding NATO. Every student of Political Science or Public Administration knows that once a bureaucracy has been formed it never goes away. It usually grow into something grotesque in an effort to prove it is still useful, even vital to whatever host organization it is attached to, but it will never just cease to exist. 

Anti-Trumpers all over the world pretended to be shocked; "Is the president mad? Of course we need NATO, there are lots of threats in the world and the Soviet Union could come back you know!" President Trump didn't argue with them. He looked straight at them and said, okay then pay your dues or America is going to step back a little. We've been paying way too much for way too long. Democrats seem to think you show your strength by insulting people. That's not how Trump works. There is no need to insult people. In fact, it is better to let them think you have a very high opinion of them; be gracious and keep them talking. 

The North Koreans had been menacing the oceans off the coasts of Asian countries in their region by test firing ballistic missiles over Japan and into the Sea of Japan. They had also conducted a series of tests of nuclear bombs. President Trump met with the runt in charge of North Korea and they had a meeting together. After the meeting there were no more ballistic missile tests over Japan and into the Sea of Japan. President Trump kept up a dialogue with Vladimir Putin, the madman dictator of Russia, in an effort to ensure that he didn't do anything stupid like attack his neighbors and try to regroup the old Soviet Union. President Trump met with another dictator of a bully nation; China. President Trump let him know that retaining the United States as a trading partner was beneficial to both countries and that China's continued bullying in the region was not helpful. Democrats insist that since President Trump refuses to publicly humiliate the dictators of the world he must be 'in their pocket'. Donald Trump is smarter than any bunch of democrats assembled anywhere in the country.

When he isn't ignoring them, Joe Biden is making weak threats to the dictators of Russia, North Korea and China and Russia has conducted a full scale invasion of Ukraine, murdering and raping civilians in horrific displays of inhuman savagery. The North Koreans have resumed their tests of Ballistic missiles, firing them over Japan and into the Sea of Japan, endangering shipping traffic in the region since they don't announce when the tests are to take place or which part of the ocean has been targeted. China is amassing their navy near the coasts of Taiwan and attacking Philippine ships in the region. The Palestinians have launched a savagely brutal attack on Israel killing thousands and taking hundreds of prisoners. And don't forget the panicked retreat from Afghanistan where we left hundreds of Americans as well as Afghans who worked for us for twenty years, and at least several hundred million dollars in weapons and ammunition. President Biden has no credibility with dictators. Aside from those 'victories' the Biden administration has succeeded in raising the cost of everything. A gallon of gasoline costs three times what it did in 2019, mortgage rates have tripled and the cost of food has skyrocketed. Democrats say that is all Trump's fault, inflation is going up all over the world. Democrats spout nonsense and hope people will believe it. Unfortunately about half of the American people do believe it. 

And President Trump was criticized for not wanting to be paid for his service as president. When informed that the Constitution required that he be paid he accepted the payment and then donated it to the National Park Service or some other government entity that needed more funding. Of course he was criticized for 'grandstanding'. I'll be voting for Donald Trump next November even if he is convicted of the false charges against him however I don't think that is a likely scenario. If it happens we will find out how a president can conduct business after being convicted of a crime. Even if he can't pardon himself it will be interesting to see where in the Constitution it says anyone can overturn a legal election. They won't be able to keep him in a prison cell. That would be a danger to everyone in the facility. He would have to be allowed some form of very liberal house arrest. It would be ridiculous. 

If they attempt to impeach him they will be courting disaster since similarly about half of the country is tired of democrats constantly ignoring the law and going against the legal will of the people. Too often when democrats can't get what they want legally they try other methods like appointing activist judges to pass laws from the Bench bypassing Congress. Republicans are too timid to rewrite the laws so the illegal court rulings stand for decades. In 1861 democrats tried to tear America apart and failed. They might try it again in 2025 but I hope not. If Donald Trump is convicted by an anti Trump kangaroo court the conviction will most likely be overturned during the appeals process. If it makes it to the Supreme Court there will be a reversal and President Trump will be exonerated. None of the current crop of Republican candidates have the courage or even the vision to do what Donald Trump started to do. 

The job requires a lot of world travel, focus, and a desire to serve the people of the USA and not yourself. With the possible exception of George Washington no other president has tried to refuse a presidential salary and there have been plenty of previous presidents from both parties who didn't need the money. The leadership of countries all over the world are holding their breath hoping for a Biden or even a Newsom victory; or gift of gifts a Harris presidency. Western Europe and parts of Asia are salivating over the prospect of milking the 'rich Americans' for more money and world dictators are eying more money to help them build up their military might so they can invade and take over neighboring countries. Russia wants to reunite the Soviet Union, China has its sights set on Taiwan and the Philippians, and there are other despots like the fanatical dictators of Iran, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and several other places where murderous men want to war with some other country, like Israel. 

For all of those reasons we need Donald Trump to win in 2024. In today's volatile world we need a president who understands how to employ gunboat diplomacy with the proper delicacy that shows recalcitrant dictators the importance of learning how to play well with others without igniting a bloody and unnecessary war. Biden has several countries fighting each other and the dictator of China weighing the prospects of attempting a take over of Taiwan while the United States is financing at least two wars and before Trump wins the election. Donald Trump will stop the war between Russia and Ukraine almost as soon as he takes the Oath of Office. He will never pay Iran or any other country to release American hostages in the world. On ghe campaign trail he recently said, "I'll bomb the shit out of them! I don't care!" The world needs Donald Trump to win in 2024. You don't have to like Donald Trump, but there is no way you can respect the system that allowed Joe Biden to be declared the winner of that election.     

Most of you will recall that there was a shut down of just about everything in the entire country. There was nothing to do so I drove through the entire Midwest. The only state I missed was North Dakota. All I saw throughout the entire Midwest and much of the West was TRUMP 2020! I saw Trump flags everywhere and not on just one or two vehicles. They were everywhere. I saw acres and acres of trees with posters nailed to them telling us to vote for Donald Trump. And to all you tree huggers I can assure you that those trees were happy, even honored to do their part in helping Donald Trump win the election        , only he didn't win. It surprised me when they announced that Joe Biden won the election. He barely said three words during the campaign, and at least two of those words were unintelligible. Very few people attended the few events he did attend and he was not impressive by any standard. The event hosted for him that had the most attendance was at an auto makers union warehouse and he almost got in a physical altercation with a man who was at first trying to support him, but wanted some assurance that Joe was not opposed to the Second Amendment. The man challenged him on a statement he had made a few days prior to the event where Joe said he wanted to take away all AR 15 style rifles and Joe denied saying it. 

Face it, the tweets weren't that mean, the work was genuine and we were all much better off until Sleepy Joe took over in 2021. Two wars that never should have happened, a lot fewer people can afford to buy a house, gas prices three times higher than a couple of years ago, this is not a hard decision to make. Don't be fooled as we enter 2024 and gas prices go a little lower as well as mortgage rates. It's an election year ploy. Desperation from an organization that has failed in its effort to have the opposition imprisoned.

AMNESTY INTERNATIOAL

Okay Sam, so what's your problem with Amnesty International? They are just trying to make the world a more civilized place to live. Right? The answer is a grudging maybe. In the history of Amnesty International all they've accomplished is getting some countries to abolish capitol punishment. Their operating budget is around $390,000,000. They claim that they do research using a volunteer force in countries throughout the world. They have a CEO that changes periodically during annual board meetings. Apparently they don't pay taxes to anyone and they make a lot of money. 

The organization was founded in 1961 in London by a lawyer named Peter Benenson who was championing human rights cases in multiple countries where people were being imprisoned solely for disagreeing with their government. The organization has grown steadily since then and blossomed into the financial behemoth it is today. It still claims to champion human rights, but it has become highly politicized and is heavily financed by just about every major celebrity in Hollywood. The list of names is too long to include in this small space, but it is impressive. And the new emphasis is on political causes like homosexuality and catastrophic climate change. The desire for men who are too weak to win any awards in men's sports to change their gender identity so they can win trophies while competing against women is a cause that Amnesty International holds dear.

Their Board members have shared their goal to not rest until every country in the world recognizes the right of all individuals to change their gender. They have listed the United States of America as one of the nations in the world that hasn't done enough to protect people who are confused about their gender. The fact is no one can change their gender. We are all born male or female. That's not an opinion it is a scientific fact. Some psychologists have tortured language and emotion and formed some statements that to them prove that our brains can actually be a different gender than we were born, or something like that, but that isn't science it's wishful thinking. A man can really, really, want to be a girl so he can put medals on the wall, but he will always be a man. Only he will be a weakened man by humiliating himself in public by stealing awards from the population that actually deserves them; women. There is no legitimate human right for a man to be a woman or a woman to be a man. 

Catastrophic climate change is another whopper supported by Amnesty International. You have to really torture language to turn climate change into a human right. The Hollywood crowd has jumped all over the climate change fantasy. The short version of climate change is that Americans are polluting that planet so badly that in a couple of hundred years the planet may or may not overheat to the point that all human beings will be dead. At first that tune played well even in the United States. Al Gore wrote a book and created some documentaries about how Americans were polluting the air so badly that in about ten years all of the glaciers were going to be melted and the oceans would rise, drowning everyone on earth. 

He doctored a lot of photographs from various parts of the earth that showed how fast the glaciers were melting. He also put together some graphics showing how much of the world would be under water in ten to fifteen years. He scared the hell out of a bunch of children and some democrat teachers. So many in fact that Man Made Global Warming became a rally cry for the democrat party and it is still going strong today. The fact is that the climate changes from time to time and the earth adapts. Another fact is if the earth doesn't adapt there isn't a thing anyone can do about it; if the earth ever decides to kill everybody that's what it will do. There are lots of facts about climate change, which is the new name for Man Made Global Warming. Blaming America was getting old so people were starting to lose interest so they started world climate change summits where leaders from all over the world could meet in expensive hotels in Brussels, or Vienna, or Qatar, anywhere that had expensive hotels and looked good to the rich and famous. 

Hypocrisy is the face of the catastrophic global warming crowd. And they don't try to hide it. Each individual arrives at the summit in a private jet where they are met by a limousine that whisks them away to their suite in a very exclusive hotel. After a night's rest they meet for a couple of hours a day, drink the finest wine and fifty year old scotch, and eat the finest foods. Then they allow some kid with a Ph. D to present a paper on the perils of climate change and the importance of changing the behavior of people all over the world before it is to late. The kid includes a couple of graphs loaded into a computerized presentation and displaying in images fifteen feet tall the photographs doctored by Brother Gore years ago when the presenter was in grade school. Of course the kid putting on the show for his 'owners' arrives on a commercial carrier flying coach, all generously provided by the wealthy, privileged class who are showing him off to the world. And of course he stays in the local version of the motel 6 and dines in the local version of Denny's or worse before being loaded back onto a commercial carrier the next morning and flown back home where he can brag to all of his star struck buddies about his latest effort to save the planet from the greedy Americans. 

After a few days of this glorious display of caring for the future of the world everyone bids everyone else farewell before checking out of the hotel, being driven back to the airport, and boarding their private jet, alone or with a companion of the opposite sex, but not their spouse, and flying to some other vacation spot where they can unwind for a week or two before heading home to their mansion on one of the American coasts. I'm pretty sure they marvel as I do at the stupidity of the average person who believes their nonsense and purchase all of the books letting them know what serious danger they are in and donate as much money as they can to the entities that claim they can stop climate from changing. Primarily the Democratic Party, Greenpeace and other misguided groups like Amnesty International. And there is a lot of money to be made selling fear and despair. The climate change industry generates almost a trillion dollars a year. 

According to a United Nations climate action report in 2021 climate change panic generated $940 billion in 2021, but they claim that isn't near enough to save the planet. By their estimate the climate activists need to be operating on $4.3 trillion within the next seven years. Evidently there is a Green Climate Fund that has been established for the furtherance of Climate Justice, whatever that is, and it needs to break out of the billions of dollars a year and into the trillions of dollars a year if there is ever going to be climate justice in the world. Hollywood types love this. It gives them a chance to be more important than they are and they are able to generate vast sums of money with relatively little effort. Plus they can become part of the ruling class by telling the rest of us how to live and explaining why it is important.

Somehow the Little People don't see what's happening and they do everything they can to ensure that they don't end up incinerating one day while they are riding the bus to their minimum wage job. Fear is a powerful motivator so they continue to vote Democrat which will also ensure that they can continue enjoying minimum wage employment, but at least if the world bursts into flames in a couple hundred years it won't have been their fault. How are they able to ignore the hypocrisy? That is a question that is hard to answer. Somehow it never occurs to them that the people telling them to ride the bus, or a bicycle, or walk to work so the oceans won't rise are living in huge mansions next to the ocean and are traveling the world in private jets alone, or in small groups in huge luxury yachts. When those same people do have to report to the office they are picked up by a driver in a comfortable Chevy Suburban or Cadillac escalade or some other large luxury vehicle. 

The goal is to ensure that the world devolves into a society of 'haves' and 'have nots'. Hollywood types and a few billionaire tycoons like George Soros are looking for a servant class instead of a strong middle class. They want to rule the world, not make it a better place to live. And that is why they all support the homosexual community. Anything to keep our country off balance and gain sympathy or a lifestyle that can only result in the destruction of a society. They have also hopped onto the abortion bandwagon, having decided that killing a baby in the womb, or shortly after being born is also a human right. Amnesty International is more than happy to partake of the bounty these political causes generate. There is a lot more money to be made promoting homosexuality, abortion, and climate change then there is in helping downtrodden victims gain their freedom from unjust dictators.  

And that's my problem with Amnesty International; I believe that Peter Benenson, and others who helped him found the organization believed in their cause, but over the years the focus has become on making money and rubbing elbows with the wealthiest members of the worldwide society. It seems to me that now Amnesty International is more interested in politics and making money. If a Little Guy gets helped once in awhile that looks good on company letterhead and posters soliciting donations.
