THE DARK STRATEGY OF TRUMP FOR THOSE THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND

Even if you dislike Donald Trump's policies, maybe it
would do some good to acknowledge that perhaps the
reason he's smirking is because he's a couple steps ahead
in his plan (Velocify).

Those of you that think that this defeat on the ridiculous Trumpcare/Ryancare bill is a loss for Donald Trump should think again. Everything that's happening on the surface is superficial nonsense. Note these facts:

  • By trotting Paul Ryan out to support the bill and become even more wrapped in the stakes of its success, Trump has succeeded in having the failure attributed to the House Speaker among both his conservative supporters and the libertarians of the bill. Those smart enough to know the difference should still attribute the blame to Trump as much as Ryan, but strategically it was a bold move. I am coming to believe that his days are numbered as speaker. Trump's stunt of telling viewers to watch Jeanine Pirro the day she called for Ryan's resignation shows he clearly is done with the GOP establishment leader.
  • Trump may be angry at the Freedom Caucus, but it's empty rhetoric. The leader of that faction, Rand Paul, is not up for reelection until 2022. The House faction, led by Mark Meadows and Justice Amash, are mostly from solidly red districts, and in order to unseat Ryan he needs their support. It was after all them that also dumped John Boehner in 2014.
  • Democrats should not be celebrating. Trump's use of an EO to cancel enforcement of the IRS penalty for not holding an insurance policy takes the teeth out of Obamacare. It wouldn't have mattered anyhow, because the bones have been getting broken. Anthem, Humana, and the other major insurance providers have all pulled out from the exchange and there will be many areas and even whole STATES that will not have any ACA coverage plans available next year.
  • The Democrats all say the ACA should be "improved" yet the unspoken truth (except among those that are honest like Jordan Chariton) is that the Dem base is in favour of single payer healthcare. This is a policy position that the party itself will not and cannot (due to its demented commitments) support. The result will be that as angry as some citizens will be at the GOP, the majority of the public will still hate the Democrats for their lack of initiative and ideas.

Those that think I'm overestimating Trump's strategy should remember how he's hoodwinked GOP and Democrat opponents since the beginning of the 2016 race. This is classic Trump strategy, and as much as I oppose several of his idiotic policies like the AHCA, I will never, but NEVER, discount his strategic thinking which is something I don't know if I've ever seen.

Did the "Dancing Israeli" theorists actually read the FBI file?

A few months ago a friend of mine, like myself Jewish, suggested to me that there would be forthcoming indictments of Israeli agents for involvement in the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He was convinced that documents slated for declassification would shine a light on an operation by Israel's Mossad that had either prior knowledge or involvement in the plot.  I would be remiss if I did not admit that for years controversial historical events, what are popularly panned as "conspiracy theories", are a topic that has fascinated me. But I've always had a blind spot for the 9/11 theories mostly because there were so many of them, and it is difficult to distinguish serious questions from spaced out hyperbolic speculation. And sure, I'll also admit that the idea that there could have been a nefarious plot to topple the Twin Towers and pull the USA into wars in the Middle East made me uncomfortable. After all, my own family hails f

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Anti-Semitism Canard

House Intelligence Committee counsel Daniel Goldman with committee chair Adam Schiff during the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump's communications with Ukraine. ( Ha'aretz ) The so-called Jewish "leadership" has scuttled American Jews' future Recently my aunt, who is almost 70 years old, told us that the current climate is the most anti-Semitic that she's seen in the USA having lived here her entire life. But I had to struggle to keep myself from saying how surprised I was that it wasn't worse. And I'm not the only one as a friend, like myself also Jewish, has observed the House impeachment hearings and said to me "this is bad for the Jews" for weeks on end. He says this because a glaringly prominent selection of people, from the heads of the committees (Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler), to their majority counsels (Norm Eisen and Daniel Goldman), to the witnesses (Gordon Sondland, Alexander Vindman), to the experts (Pamela Karlan

A year later Ryan Dawson is Addicted to Lies, Part 1

Image
 As I'm writing this it is the week after the 19th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the event that defined my generation just as Vietnam defined the generation of baby boomers. It is a bitter day for many reasons. On the one hand there is the largely held sentiment that the almost three thousand victims of the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. Another reason compounding it is the lack of transparency by the US government and various other governments regarding the events leading up to the tragic attacks. And yet on top of that is the fact that opportunistic hoaxers have taken it upon themselves to take advantage of that lack of transparency and use the available information to concoct lies and canards in order to fit their worldview. In 2019 I debated one such person, Ryan Dawson of ANC Report. Typically I have the urge to find something redeeming in one of my opponents, but with respect to him the longer the exposure to his material the easier it is to see th
