THE REAL ISSUE WE FACE IN THIS ELECTION 2024

 Jay Stanley on an American Civil Liberties Union web site, began an article, probably written in 2017, this way -

"President-elect Donald Trump’s criticism of the intelligence community over its reports of Russian hacking during the 2016 election has generated a lot of commentary over what is being described as a “feud” between Trump and the intelligence agencies.

"Beyond all of the questions about the Russians, their relationship with Trump, their role in the election, etc., there is another element of this story that is also raising very frightening questions about the state of our democracy.

""An example of what I’m talking about emerged when Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer was asked by Rachel Maddow about Trump’s spurning of the agencies’ findings. Trump is “taking these shots, this antagonism, this taunting to the intelligence community,” Maddow pointed out. The response by Schumer—who has been in Congress since 1980, and in the Senate leadership for ten years, and presumably knows his way around Washington—should send a chill through the heart of every American:

Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you. So, even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this.

"Some may argue that Trump is not serving his country well by not giving more respect to the intelligence community. But whether or not that is true, if it’s really the case that dissing the intelligence community might result in retaliation by that community against a politician, then the lines of power in our political system have become dangerously distorted."

   It turns out, the American  intel operatives were active in getting the fake Russian collusion story into a FISA court, and soon a Special Council was appointed, one that kept the newly elected Trump Administration on the defensive for its first 2 years in office, though with Speaker of the House  Republican Paul Ryan - a hate Trumper, the new Administration would have had difficulty enacting its programs anyway. 

Skip to October 2020, shortly before election day .

When the NY Post began its expose of the Hunter Biden laptop, Blinken, then working for the Dems, called some intel friends, and soon 51 US Intel agents signed a LIE TO HELP BIDEN WIN AND TRUMP LOSE THE 2020 ELECTION. These included the head of the CIA, and other leaders from other intel agencies. They had not examined the laptop, but assured the American public that it was Russian disinformation; worse, the intel agents got big tech to squash the story before the Nov. 2020 election. When Hunter finally when to trial some years later, NO ONE QUESTIONED THE VALIDITY OF THE LAPTOP. Let me emphasize, just before election day 2020, the NY Post published a story on parts of the Hunter laptop, that exposed both the corruption of Hunter, and presumably his father Joe Biden, the man then running for President against Trump.  Blinken, who was then working for the Democratic Party, asked friends in Intel for help.  Without examining the Hunter laptop, they LIED, say it was Russian disinformation, and they pressured the tech stories to censure and ban the story.  51 leaders in American intelligence organizations, including the chief of the CIA, LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN ORDER TO ELECT DEMOCRAT BIDEN AND DEFEAT TRUMP!  American Intel purposely denied the American voters vital information that could have swayed the election in favor of Trump.  Is this what the Democrats call democracy???  Are our intelligence agencies active in the election contest of today?  This election campaign, there have been at least 2 assassins trying to kill Trump. Did they get help from American intel agencies?  The agencies do not have to use one of their own for such a job.  In the US there are crazies of all beliefs, some on the left, on the right, up or down.  The agencies can just let the protection down and let a crazy get through, to shoot and kill.  Is this what happened in Butler, PA? Time to open up the assassination files on Pres. John Kennedy. Pompeo, former head of the CIA, pled with Trump not to do so, for it would be a catastrophe, Pompeo said.  Trump caved and failed on his promise; Trump did not open all the files. Time to curb govt agencies that have ceased to represent the American people and instead have become the KGB of the Democratic Party.  THE ISSUE TODAY IS, WHO RULES AMERICA?  THE CITIZENS OR THE UNELECTED INTEL AGENCIES?????

Kamala gave her speech in Washington saying Trump wants to be a dictator and jail his opponents, meanwhile Trump is facing around 700 years in prison with all the Dem. charges against him, while some of his advisors like Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon have recently been released from prison while Democrats who faced similar charges never went to jail.  Former Mayor of NYC Giuliani faces pauperism thanks to more political trials.  The Democrats call Trump a new Hitler and racist.  But the Democrats are the party of racism in America.  The Democrats were the party of slavery, of the Confederacy, of the Ku Klux Klan, of the "Solid South" (make sure there are no Republicans allowed to take office), the party of segregation.  Eventually, the old message failed, but unlike the Republicans who demanded equal rights, the Democrats remained the racist party, THEY SIMPLY CHANGED RACES.  To give them more power, they got to determining who was one of the favored races, what percent of advantage they would have, and all other kinds of rewards and punishments, and throw in sex, and trans, and other categories into the pot, and the Democrats, weighing each and how much they should get, becomes ever more powerful, and with INTEL friends, do they really need the votes of deplorables, and what Pres. Biden just called (white trash) "garbage" anymore?  The Democrats have Intel, the media, Hollywood, academia, and now, the military-industrial complex, and it's favored races, ethnicities, sexes, and millions of invading illegal aliens, etc.  It no longer needs the votes of American citizens to win.  Or does it?

     If Trump wins, and/or if he is allowed to win, it will be a whole new ball game!!!

 

THEY SAY KAMALA HAS CHANGED HER MESSAGE - IT IS NOW, TRUMP IS A NEW HITLER, DICTATOR

 Let us review some of Kamala's campaign for President:

Let's see - joy campaign, FAILED;

 Biden economics was a success, FAILED;

 Border czarina, FAILED; 

women need freedom to control their bodies, SUCCESS; 

Trump a convicted felon, SO WAS MLK AND MANY CR WORKERS, FAILED;

 Trump talks to Putin and gave him med assistance; FAILED,   If true, so what, why not improve relations with a rather inexpensive gift?

 BIDEN-KAMALA FOREIGN POLICY AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL DISASTER, SOLIDIFIED PUTIN-XI ALLIANCE, MESS IN UKRAINE, NEW THREATS TO TAIWAN, AND TO PACIFIC ISLANDS, MIDDLE EAST AFLAME, DEMOCRATS BROUGHT WORLD TO BRINK OF MAJOR WARS; not a successful campaign issue for Kamala.

Kamala's latest try to win, Trump is a new Hitler;;;to soon to tell, but is that why one of Trump's daughters married a Jewish man, and she converted to his faith? Trump promises to fire the incompetents who refused to use troops against violent protestors and looters and arsonists; and who refused to inquire into the Hunter Biden laptop and charge the Bidens involved in corruption with the Chinese. And Trump allegedly said Hitler did some good. When Hitler came to power, German was in the midst of a severe depression, and he did much to end it. Just as FDR did much to curtail the Great Depression at the same time in the USA.  And just as Roosevelt was loved by many saved from hunger and extreme poverty, so too was Hitler.  True, part of Hitler's solution to the depression was to prepare for war, violating treaties to expand his army, investing in war-related industries. The newsreels depict thousands of cheering people, who thought they were better off because of Hitler's leadership. Same in the US with adoration of FDR.  Of course, in Germany there was open discrimination against Jews, gays, and other minorities, and hidden murder of babies born with defects - all of this even before WWII. Hitler did do some good, as did Stalin, Mao, and most dictators, but most of us would add, it was outweighed by a vast amount of evil by those dictators. I suspect Trump would agree, Hitler's evil far outweighed his good.  Cherry-picking someone's comments in order to distort the truth amounts to just another campaign lie.  I hope the American voters will not be swayed by lies from either party.

FLASH FLOODS IN NEW MEXICO

 Recently, the rather isolated town of Roswell, New Mexico, had to endure flash flooding, rare in the dry desert area.  A few Americans died in the rushing waters.  One underground building was swamped by the fast moving waters, and it seems more deaths.  Two American males, and five illegal aliens of undetermined sex.  The illegal aliens had green skin, and the doctor speculated they might have come from another planet.  Some contend that this is not true - they did not have green skin; it was blue.  But I hope you firgive me, enough with a bad joke.  Hugh 

DONALD TRUMP - CONVICTED FELON

A Democrat prosecutor in heavily Dem territory succeeded in winning a case - getting former President Trump to become a convicted felon. Using Democratic Party enacted laws, Democrat prosecutors got Martin Luther King to become a convicted felon, also. Using Democratic Party enacted segregation laws, Democrat prosecutors got many civil rights activists to become convicted felons too. This says far more about the dictatorial nature of the Democratic Party than about its victim "felons." 

By the way, I am one of the former convicted felons, arrested in the first modern sit-in in New Orleans at the large Woolworths on Canal and North Rampart Streets.  7 of us, 5 Negroes, 2 whites, from Tulane, Dillard, Xavier, and what was then called LSUNO sat in' requesting cups of coffee. We sat for hours without being served until the then DA for the city, Richard Dowling arrived, read us the law, and had us arrested.  Sit-ins had begun in February 1960 in North Carolina and spread, but none occurred in what had been the largest city of the South for a century, New Orleans  until we did it in September 1960.  We were part of CORE, the Congress of Racial Equality, while the adult NAACP organization in the city opposed the sit-in.  Woolworth's was across the street from the large Saenger Theater.  Years later the five aand dime store was demolished to be replaced by a Hard Rock Cafe on that property, but a fallen crane accident and death in construction led to delays.  I do not know what is on that block now.   DA Dowling lost in the next Democratic primary and was replaced by a new DA, Jim Garrison, but his first efforts were against "vice," and so there was a raid on the racially mixed Quorum Club even in 1963.  Garrison is a hero in my eyes for his daring probe into the John Kennedy assassination, but his early years were hardly liberal.

When we went to court on our sit-in case, each of us facing up to $500 in fines and a year in jail, we sat together.  When the judge arrived, he screamed at us he might hold us in contempt of clurt with additional fines) for desegregating his court room, so we 2 whites moved away from our fellow defendants and our attorneys.  With his first words, we suspected we would be found guilty.  We were.  It took some years, but eventually the 2nd New Orleans sit in, a week after ours, made it to the US Supreme Court, and the city lost its case against all of us.  I have no regrets about having been a convicted felon.---Hugh Murray

THE AL SMITH DINNER AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY DINNERS

Yes, the Al Smith Dinner! But what ever happened to the Jefferson-Jackson dinners that the Dems used to celebrate? Named for a founder of the Democratic Party, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson who reframed the party after the Era of Good Feelings, these dinners were important political rallies for the Democrats. But no more. Of course Jefferson did own slaves; and so did Jackson. And Al Smith probably opposed abortion.

Perhaps in future, the Democrats will be celebrating with the George Floyd-Sirhan Sirhan Dinners.

Hugh Murray  - You may not be aware, Sirhan Sirhan allegedly declared he did it (shot RFK Sr.) for his country.  Many were bewildered, thinking rambling of a mentally ill assassin.  But Sirhan was a Palestinian, Christian, non Muslim, but Palestinian, and not happy with Robert Kennedy's pro-Israeli policies.  Long before the attacks on the World Trade Center, a Palestinian terrorist changed the course of an American election.

2 POLITICAL RALLIES - WHY WASN'T ELON MUSK AT BOTH???

    On Saturday May 5, 2024, former Pres. Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania to hold a massive rally - a return to the scene where a young man ended the earlier rally by shooting Trump in the ear, and nearly hitting his head.  By an inch or so, the assassin failed in his task.  Trump rose from the deck to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT  again.  Unfortunately, a man was killed and some injured.

    I thought the rally would begin at 1 CST, and found a tv station carrying the proceedings.  It became obvious, even though the crowd was already massive, this was the warm up, and Trump would not appear for 4 more hours.  I did other things and would glance at the tv while waiting.  I only saw Elon Musk for a short time.  What was he doing?  Jumping around on the stage?  Was he trying to imitate Tim Walz, Kamala's VP running mate, who always seems to be auditioning for a cheerleader role for a football team.  Then Musk made some short, powerful statements.  If Trump does not win, it will be the last free election in America.  Freedom is the issue of this election, and freedom will end with a Democratic Party victory.  Enforcing Musk's judgement, the day or so preceding, Hillary Clinton announced that we need censorship to prevent disinformation in the election.  Of course, Clinton and the Democrats know that disinformation is any story that conflicts with the official liberal Democratic pronouncement of truth.  Lee Oswald, a lone nut, shot and killed JFK from the 6th floor building. Etc. down through the decades, just ask Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, down the decades to David Muir.  Deviation from them, from the NYT, Washington Post, the Atlantic, and that becomes the definition of disinformation.  Big tech can check for sure with the CIA and other agencies.  So we will know that any Hunter Biden laptop exposing Biden corruption must be disinformation.

   The rally continued when Trump arrived to a joyous welcome.  He gave his usual stump Trump speech, which includes humor and policy analysis, homage to the dead and wounded at the previous rally, and closing as usual, with the We will make America .... again." chants.

    Why was Musk there?  Musk is NOT an American by birth.  Why is he not in his homeland?

    The answer - I recall seeing a news film of a huge political rally in South Africa. in a stadium.  They were promoting the Economic Freedom Fighters Party led by Julius Malema, and he was there, center stage in the stadium, leadeing the large crowd in a simple song: "Kille the Boer, kill the white,"  The words are repeated a number of times, and then the chorus of rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, as he holds a rifle in his arm, and uses his voice to immitate the weapon shooting whites.  Naturally, the American mass media, infected with sociological non-sense that blacks cannot be racists, must ignore such obvious examples of virulent racism, for it knocks the absurd liberal social science theories into the trash can.  In the latest election, the AFC, the African National Congress lost its majority which it held since 1990 and now rules in coalition.  The EFF lost votes too, dropping from 10.8% to 9.5%.  But how safe would you feel if you were a white South African, and you knew 10% of the population favors putting a bullet in you?  And, by the way, white farmers are often murdered, often with their families.  The murder rate for all is among the highest in the world in South Africa.  The electric grid is grinding down, so black and brown outs are common.  It's once proud airline now sits mainly on the ground.  Train service deteriorates.  Now even tap water is failing in some large cities.  Their equivalent of affirmative action since the ANC came to power has brought many blacks into  jobs, but apparently now, jobs for which they were utterly unqualified.  Infrastructure decays.  Even hospitals have blackouts of electricity.  Crime.  A decaying society. The only possible role for Musk at the EFF rally would have been as target practice.

     Would Elon Musk have a future in South Africa?  Would any white?  And is South Africa America's future?  Kamala Harris has trouble enunciating her program, because hers is a radical program.  The internet calls the program of the EFF a socialist program.  That is like calling the Nazi program a socialist program.  Nazi stood for National Socialist German Workers Party, so socialism was part of it.  And that may be true of the EFF.  But both were virulent racist parties.  Many are reluctant to call blacks racists, even when individuals admit the do the knock out game to get back at whites, others get the money, or the phone, or the tv set from whitey.  And the excuse their racist crime and thievery as getting it back, just as the Nazis justified their dispossession of the Jews. That is not merely criminal minds, it is criminal racist minds excusing their criminality.  The Democratic Party and its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion had pushed Harvard and other posh universities to hire presidents BECAUSE they were blacks, some black women, some men.  The woman at Harvard had published little, AND she had plagiarized.  No white or Asian would have even been considered for the post with similar weak credentials.  But under DEI who cares about qualifications - with DEI the only real qualifications are race and sex.  The unacknowledged slogan of affirmative action is "Never Hire the Best Qualified Candidate" for the job.  How else did Kamala become Vice President?  How else could she become President?

      Is the future of America a crumbling, crime-ridden, chaotic South Africa?  Musk realizes that a Kamala victory means an American future as another South Africa.  Already in decline, we will quickly decay under Kamala and the Democrats - with their green power unable to provide enough energy, black and brown outs reducing industrial productivity, and interfering with our personal lives, disruptions and injuries when the electricity goes off, more DEI hires, more crime, more criminals back on the street, and millions more illegal aliens getting welfare, etc.

     Trump is not perfect, and I am sure Musk and Robert Kennedy, Jr., disagree with him on some important points - as do I.  But Trump has courage.  He knows there are elements IN THE GOVERNMENT bureaucracies who reject the views of the people, who do not want free speech, who do not want parents to have a voice in public schools, who want ever-more no win wars that keep the munition industries thriving, the big phara groups, the Dr. Fauci medicatator types, they do not trust the people of the US.  This is why Hillary demands censorship, as do the liberals who want to ban "disinformation.  They fear free speech, because they fear free men, free women, a free American people.  The only way to provide continued freedom for future Americans is to vote for Donald Trump, his human flaws will be forgiven if he IS ALLOWED TO SAVE AMERICA.

GREATER DANGER TO AMERICAN ELECTIONS, FOREIGN OR US INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES?

 Newser had a piece on foreign intelligence threatening our elections.  He is my response.  Hugh Murray

Be real, the problem of intelligence agencies trying to influence US elections - the main problem is the American intelligence agencies whose leadership is wedded to the Democratic Party. The best example, in Oct. 2020, soon before the Noveber election between Biden and Trump, the NY Post exposed the Hunter Biden laptop story with the clear exposure of Hunter's corruption, and the implied corruption of Joe Biden. Blinken, then a Dem. operative, contacted some friends in intel agencies, and soon 51 leading American intelligence agents, without ever examining Hunter's laptop, were declaring it Russian disinformation and urging big tech to suppress the NY Post story. Big tech and the big networks promptly dismissed the allegations against the Bidens as conspiracy theories, Russian disinformation. So a very important story on Biden corruption was suppressed because US intel decided it wanted Biden to win. Just like tonight on ABC nightly news with Muir, who warned Americans about conspiracy theories re FEMA and hurricane victims. The conspiracy is of course different from Muir's version. The conspiracy was of the Biden Dems to move funding in FEMA from money to help American victims of emergencies, tornados, fires, hurricanes, etc., and instead vast FEMA sums on transporting foreigners to various American town, paying for their hotels, their hospital stays, their food, etc. Because FEMA had spent so much on the invaders, little is left for American victims of storms. The American intel agencies, and the big American media are allied to the Dems, that is the source of disinformation in the media.

Bottom Line - Democrats seem to favor foreign migrants to American citizens.

THE 2024 VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

 This will be s short post - THEY BOTH WON.  Tonight I saw Gov. Tim Walz, not trying out to join the football cheerleaders squad, but as an honest, intelligent man groping for political answers that might work.  I did not agree with most of his positions, but I grew to respect the man who is running on a major ticket, and who might become President.  He agreed with Vance on various points, and his nodding head indicated this even before he spoke.  Walz seemed sensible, warm. caring, human.

J.D. Vance, Ohio Senator had raised my ire on several issues already - lying about Haitians eating pets in Springfield, proposing additional votes for those with children, and maintaining that those without children had no stake in the nation, to name a few.  But instead of the belligerent bull dog in a china shop, Vance made his points but agreed when he could with Vance.  They both saw similar problems, and at times seemed to suggest similar proposals to solve them.  He would nod his head in agreement while Walz spoke, too.  It seemed quite friendly.

The moderators were two CBS news leaders, Nora O'Donnell, who anchors the nightly news, and Margaret Brennan who hosts the Sunday morning show Face the Nation.  Both one may assume are liberals, and Nora's nightly news will go out of its way to spotlight female achievement, and often ignore that of men.  Before the debate, I wondered if they might unleash cats to attack Vance because of his remarks about some women not having children and wanting cats.  Would they make cats screech into the microphone when Vance spoke?  Happily, the women did not bring felines.  But they did help the Democrat by not asking about the unending wars and threats of wars under Biden, compared to the relative peace under Trump.  The women seem to agree with Nance Pelosi that it is treason to question the results of the 2020 election.  And they and Walz seem to prefer censorship, denial of free speech, to even question the legitimacy of Joe Biden's election in 2020.  Happily, neither "moderator" is on the ballot.

I now have a more favorable opinion of both Vance and Walz, and that is comforting as either could beome a US President.        Hugh Murray

A friend read my email version of this blog, and did not like it.  Here is his criticism:

I didn't watch the debate but saw a few highlights afterwards.

I heard Walz say very passionately that he wanted censorship of hate speech. Beware! You'd be in jail for a long time under president/ vice president Waltz just for writing your blog!!! His personality hardly matters. Policies on the other hand do, a lot. 

There goes your First amendment.

 

Then he said, the problem is not mental health rather the guns.

There goes the Second amendment

When asked about Walz lying about being in Tiananmen square during the massacre, he said that he "grew up in a small town with 400 people where he rode his bicycle and was proud of the service". huh... what?

 

He wouldn't answer questions from Vance about their abortion bill on punishment for doctors who do not care for the baby which survives an abortion attempt, and did an awful job of providing a non answer.

 

There were a few more clips of Walz evading questions that I saw which left me in bad taste. The Dems care about shredding the constitution into pieces and taking away the last few rights that people still have. 

 

Vance pandered about being raised by a single mother and grandmother, medical bills blah blah as well but at least his policy positions were solid.

 

I'm very surprised you bought into this charade. It makes me very worried for the future.
