Sandbox – 28dec18

28 December 2018

[So, does a president's responsibility to keep the nation secure, in this case via increasing border security (aka reducing border porosity), constitute a sufficiently important issue to warrant standing firm on his request for a minimal amount of funding ($5B or less) to increase that security and plug our very porous border, which the assaulting migrants are now pouring through at historically high rates? gjr]

George 10:48–
You are deflecting the issue at hand by turning it into some kind of historical review tinged with 1950’s McCarthyisms about socialism. The issue at hand is not about the past, it is about the future. America’s greatness, global respect, and leadership is going down the drain with trump, in case you haven’t noticed. What does it say that former allies no longer look to America for leadership because there is none, just some twisted form of isolationism that includes climate denial? The person in the Whitehouse is a proven miscreant, whose multiple indiscretions seem to be ignored by his supporters.
Does such a person really have the moral authority to guide the country as you seem to claim and should moral people, therefore, put their morality aside to accommodate a political agenda (albiet that of a minority of the poplation) they happen to agree with? You, of all people, should know what happens when a people blindly follow a charismatic liar who promises them greatness. There is a famous poem, I am sure you are acauainted with, that starts out, “first they came for the socialists and I did not speak out—Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a trade unionist…..” Sound familiar when compared to the current anti-union anti-progressive rhetoric espoused by conservatives?

A little history lesson for the pony tail of ignorance. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Combined with the 2017 number, this is a phenomenal total of 85 new federal judges: two Supreme Court justices, 30 appellate judges, and 53 trial judges. The total of 30 for the circuit courts of appeals breaks the previous all-time two-year record of 23, marking a historic achievement by President Trump and Senate Republicans.
Many of the issues most important to voters turn on competing views of interpreting the Constitution or federal law, and thus depend on the judicial philosophy of the judges deciding court cases involving those issues.
Regarding immigration, the Supreme Court in Trump v. Hawaii reversed 5-4 the losses from liberal judges over Presidential Proclamation 9645 (the travel ban), after Justice Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation. Similar Supreme Court victories are likely to reverse adverse rulings on DACA and the asylum caravans as well, so long as the White House and congressional Republicans do not give up those fights.

“President Trump has made good and then some on his pledge to slash costly federal regulations, issuing the fewest new rules in recorded history in his first two years, according to a new analysis.
In fact, the efforts by the White House, Office of Management and Budget, and several agencies to cut and reduce the flow of regulations this year have only ever been topped once: by the same Trump team last year.
“At year-end 2018, how is President Donald Trump’s regulatory reform project going? Better than Obama, Bush II, and Clinton in terms of fewer regulations; but not as good as Trump’s own first year,” said the Competitive Enterprise Institute.”

RobertC 412pm – Good discussion Mr Cross. I’m not deflecting anything here because the topic is precisely about the historical picture of America that the Left has inserted into the minds of our young. And my first person experience corroborates what the still-free (and extensively cited) academics have been reporting, because I’ve been privileged to work with and listen to our young people. The perceived past in those young minds does indeed shape their perception of the future. In the aggregate, they do not arrive into the present as tabulas rasa – they have been severely injured academically.
America’s decline did not start with Trump – Obama destroyed America’s hegemony in its perception by our allies more than any president since Carter – but I do agree that Trump’s reversion to American nationalism has been a bucket of cold water on those who thought we would be paying indefinitely their way through a dangerous world, while they continued in the la-la land of irresponsible socialist policies without regard as to who kept their borders intact. They are now coming to grips with their new responsibilities, and that will give western civilization a bit of respite as it continues to be assaulted from within and without.
Trump and his core will never come for the Rebanes of the world, but the collectivists in all flavors (starting with the communists then nazis) have come for the Rebanes and taken their toll on our family. And listening to you and yours, you people will come again for me and mine as sure as the sun rises tomorrow. To be absolutely frank Mr Cross, I am scared shitless about what your elites have in mind for us and the world. Don’t worry about Trump, he will soon be gone, but hopefully the echoes from the established applecarts that he has upset in his short tenure will linger on a bit longer.

US Strategic Command, the unified military force that controls the launch of nuclear weapons, tweeted an unusual New Year’s Eve message on Monday featuring B-2 bombers dropping 30,000-pound conventional weapons at a test range.
“#TimesSquare tradition rings in the #NewYear by dropping the big ball…if ever needed, we are #ready to drop something much, much bigger,” the tweet from US Strategic Command’s official account said.
It included a sizzle reel initially released earlier this year, showing a B-2 bomber dropping “a pair of conventional Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOP) at a test range,” the Pentagon said.

While the bombs depicted in the video — known as “bunker busters” — are conventional, not nuclear, the tweet seems to serve as a reminder to the rest of the world that the US military maintains the largest and most capable weapons in the world.
A Strategic Command spokesperson, Navy Capt. Brook Dewalt, told CNN that the post is “part of our recap of command priorities” and is all about reassuring the American people that the US military is ready at all times, even on New Year’s Eve.

Bernie Sanders Alumni Request Meeting To Address ‘Sexual Violence’ On 2016 Campaign
Alanna Vagianos,HuffPost
Former staff on Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) 2016 presidential campaign are requesting a formal meeting with the politician to discuss “the issue of sexual violence and harassment on the 2016 campaign” in order to “mitigate the issue in the upcoming presidential cycle.”
Over two dozen Sanders alumni wrote a letter to the senator on Sunday urging him to create actionable goals to prevent “the untenable and dangerous dynamic” that took place during his 2016 campaign. The letter, obtained by Politico, does not specifically state any instances of sexual harassment or assault that took place during Sanders’ run for the Democratic nomination for president.
“We — the people who worked on Bernie 2016 — know that much of the success of our campaign was due to the intense commitment, passion and sacrifice of women, people of color and LGBT staffers,” the letter states. “In recent weeks there has been an ongoing conversation on social media, in texts, and in person, about the untenable and dangerous dynamic that developed during our campaign.”
The former staffers requested a physical meeting with Sanders and his top advisers. They also asked that, following the meeting, Sanders advisers create “a follow-up plan for implementing concrete sexual harassment policies and procedures” as well as a “commitment to hiring diverse leadership.”
The signees told Politico that they did not intend for the letter to go public, and the identities of former staffers behind the letter have not been released.

Don,
You are into China and foreign relations. I don’t know how I missed Pence’s policy speech on China….before the midterms to the Hudson Institute. Alarming stuff. Pence lays it out better than any think tank white paper I have read. Yes, a bit heavy for New Years Eve. Trump was right. What Russia is doing to influence US elections pales in comparison to China efforts. In fact, there is no comparison.
“And worst of all, China has initiated an unprecedented effort to influence American public opinion, the 2018 elections, and the environment leading into the 2020 presidential elections. To put it bluntly, President Trump’s leadership is working; and China wants a different American President.
There can be no doubt: China is meddling in America’s democracy. As President Trump said just last week, we have, in his words, “found that China has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming [midterm] election[s].”
Our intelligence community says that “China is targeting U.S. state and local governments and officials to exploit any divisions between federal and local levels on policy. It’s using wedge issues, like trade tariffs, to advance Beijing’s political influence.”
In June, Beijing itself circulated a sensitive document, entitled “Propaganda and Censorship Notice.” It laid out its strategy. It stated that China must, in their words, “strike accurately and carefully, splitting apart different domestic groups” in the United States of America.
To that end, Beijing has mobilized covert actors, front groups, and propaganda outlets to shift Americans’ perception of Chinese policy. As a senior career member of our intelligence community told me just this week, what the Russians are doing pales in comparison to what China is doing across this country. And the American people deserve to know it.
Senior Chinese officials have also tried to influence business leaders to encourage them to condemn our trade actions, leveraging their desire to maintain their operations in China. In one recent example, China threatened to deny a business license for a major U.S. corporation if they refused to speak out against our administration’s policies.
And when it comes to influencing the midterms, you need only look at Beijing’s tariffs in response to ours. The tariffs imposed by China to date specifically targeted industries and states that would play an important role in the 2018 election. By one estimate, more than 80 percent of U.S. counties targeted by China voted for President Trump and I in 2016; now China wants to turn these voters against our administration.
And China is also directly appealing to the American voters. Last week, the Chinese government paid to have a multipage supplement inserted into the Des Moines Register –- the paper of record of the home state of our Ambassador to China, and a pivotal state in 2018 and 2020. The supplement, designed to look like the news articles, cast our trade policies as reckless and harmful to Iowans.

When I was 15 I prayed to God that someday he bring me the right man. Five years later a bunch of us were partying in Nevada City and a young man road up on a beautiful blue Harley motorcycle. I asked someone to ask the rider if he’d give me a ride. The rider was hesitant because he thought I was too young, but gave me a ride. When he learned I was 20, he changed his mind…and we married two moths later, and enjoyed our life together for 65 years. I laugh thinking about how the Harley was how God got my attention. He was a real good, hard working man who always stood up for what was needed.

That’s no way to go through life, son…..fat, drunk, and stupid. Nothing new under the Nevada City Moon.

Happy New Year, Don. Love those ‘Mark the Tape!’ moments.
Unfortunately, we are all dead and we are too dumb to know it. Or are we?

You didn’t tweet this and I didn’t reply because we’re both dead. We died several times this year. Probably gonna die a few more times next year. It just be like that.

I once again would like to pose this question to you. You wrote earlier on this blog that ” you people will come again for me and mine as sure as the sun rises tomorrow. ”
How will that manifest itself? Are you talking about “me and mine” being physically rounded up and taken somewhere do you have some other scenario in mind. Kind of an astounding statement that I take seriously and not as a joke.

As much as I have bashed young people (SJWs) who think life is just like being on a big campus and safe places from words that may make someone feel bad or sad or uncomfortable are guareenteed, I must extend kudos to the young clerk that handled a diffitcult situation with respect and a calm manner. The young man apologized and remained professional. It was simple mistake any of us could have made. The female customer who requested the outraged ma’am to not use profanity also remained calm and did not raise her voice. They done good.
