Promises to Reverse This BIG Trump Win
I was informed my previous posting about what I attributed to Khrushchev might not have been said by him. Whoever said it was smack on regardless.

Trump Will Win If He Responds to Righteous Voter Rage
The hour of reckoning is here. Either Trump will crush the lawlessness and win swing voters to his side, or he will listen to the trimmers and lose the country.
The 2020 election will be decided in the fall by swing voters in ten or 15 states.
Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, those voters were leaning to reelect President Trump, largely on the powers of incumbency and a near-record vibrant economy. The Democratic left-wing primary agendas, from the New Green Deal to reparations, the clownish candidates of the Beto O’Rourke and Corey Booker sort, the arrogance and meltdown of Mike Bloomberg, and Joe Biden’s cognitive impairment collectively frightened voters.
Meanwhile, the booming economy, record energy production, record-low minority unemployment and reckoning with China had overshadowed Trump’s cul de sac tweeting, 93 percent unfavorable media coverage, and the three-year slow-motion coup of the 25th Amendment nonsense, Russian “collusion,” Robert Mueller, Ukraine, and impeachment.
Then came the contagion, the lockdown, the recession, and the collective madness of looting and arson, which in turn led to the present anarchy of statue toppling, cancel culture, name-changing, and McCarthyism 2.0.
Of course, a president is blamed for chaos on his watch even if he did not create the chaos. He either stops it and is praised as a winner or, like Jimmy Carter during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979-1980, is written off as a loser.
What Stands Between the Public and Mob Rule?
The hour of reckoning is here and either Trump will crush the lawlessness and win the swing voters to his side, or he will listen to the trimmers and lose the country. Trump’s dilemma, however, is real and in some sense unprecedented. We are in uncharted waters when blue-state officials don’t mind the violent chaos in their midst, or at least feel that in a cost-benefit analysis it serves their November purposes more than a restoration of law and order.
In our federal system, the Trump Administration cannot police Philadelphia or Seattle without calling in federal troops. Yet our most “esteemed” retired military has already hinted that to use federal forces would be supposedly unprecedented and thus rally military patriots and bemedaled retired grandees to resist such an order—so much so that even an addled Joe Biden interpreted such a veiled warning from the military-intelligence complex as a green light. He pontificated that if he thought Trump stole the election or wouldn’t leave in defeat (apparently defined by whether Biden believed Trump’s winning margin was fraudulent), his newfound allies in the military (who had “skinned” Trump), retired and active, would remove Trump “with dispatch.”
So if blue states don’t want federal help, and the military-intelligence complex might well oppose such an act, Trump is left with either sounding tough while carrying a popsicle stick or using the powers of federal attorneys to start indicting veritable terrorists, charging negligent state authorities with impairing the civil rights of their own citizens by knowingly exposing them to violence, cutting off federal funds to wayward states, and reclaiming federal properties within blue state sanctuary states to ensure monuments and federal buildings are safe and national parks open to the public.
If that way the Trump Administration can show the public that the federal government is restoring calm, then, at what point do these fence-sitting swing voters conclude that Trump could be the only thing between them and the Antifa/Black Lives Matter mob at their local suburban shopping center, or their child’s class rebooted into a reeducation camp, or their once tranquil local park now a cemetery of unburied bronze and stone corpses, or their police either defunded or in silent slowdowns? How many times do the liberal-minded have to be slandered as “white racists” before they say “you are the racially obsessed, not me”?
For others, the question will be rephrased as, what will markets, investors, the Chinese, the Russians, and the Iranians make of the traditional bastion of global sanity, the United States, now mired in abject madness, as it prints more funny money and Joe Biden and retired generals talk ominously of their moral right to remove or neuter an elected president the “sooner the better”?
How Much Is Too Much?
Each person, I suppose, has his breaking point. The Catholic Democrat may bolt at the desecration and destruction of anything to do with hallowed icons such as Saint Junipero Serra, a man undeniably of the 18th century mental landscape, yet whose own poverty, suffering, courage and vision outweighed the racism that he grew up with, but who is smeared now as a veritable monster by the quarter-educated.
Even the unaffiliated and apolitical may finally conclude that revolutionaries want to erase his collective memory, his history, his national anthem, and his American identity. A Colin Kaepernick airport? Antifa Drive? Saul Alinsky’s head grafted onto the decapitated bronze of Columbus? Obama’s visage chiseled over Teddy Roosevelt on Mt. Rushmore? 1619 in our schools swapping out 1776 as the new founding of America?
Independents might have shrugged at the destruction of abolitionist statues, the defacement of the World War II monument, the graffiti on the Lincoln Memorial, and the efforts to ruin the icons of the Emancipation Monument and to topple Old Hickory—the erstwhile hero of 1950s liberals who once praised the “The Jacksonian Revolution” as the destruction of the entrenched power of the blue-blood American aristocracy.
But when you get all that daily, even as the most progressive independent fears a busy signal after dialing 911, what then?
If the Washington obelisk on the National Mall, or the Jefferson dome on the Potomac is defaced, then is there even a symbolic country left? I think independents know that all that saves Mt. Rushmore is the cowardice of leftists who accept that driving up to South Dakota and duking it out with the state national guard, some federal officers, a no-nonsense governor, and local ad hoc volunteers is something not worth the CNN and MSNBC face time.
Still others of the disaffected traffic in video downloads of mass looting and gratuitous cruelty. The scenes that flash across the internet are sickening: stores ransacked, cars trashed, dozens of thieves nonchalantly stealing then gratuitously destroying anything they cannot find profit in. The independent silently wonders whether he is watching a scene from Fallujah, Helmand Province, Mogadishu—or Santa Monica. There seems little difference these days.
For still others, it is again the passive-aggressive cowardice of the Antifa and the Antifa-spin-off crowd. One moment middle-class white kids get in the face of police—often black—scream obscenities, taunt them, and yet the next, in nasal-tones, shriek like stuck pigs when the police began to march forward and push them back.
Just when you thought these anarchists were real revolutionaries who would retire to the Rockies and Sierras as maquis to continue their war on the corporate state, they seem terrified of being arrested, and charged with résumé-staining racketeering or felonious assault. In extremis, they prove petite bourgeois careerists, not Bolsheviks on the barricades. Hollywood central casting could not have dreamed up more audio-visually off-putting characters. The distance between them and the unjustified death of George Floyd is now a vast abyss.
Weakness and Insanity on Parade
Or is the breaking point for the swing voter—the noonday press conference of the wet-noodle authorities? Another Bill de Blasio insane moment of playing John Lennon’s “Imagine” as his city is looted and his police attacked? Or Andrew Cuomo explaining why his orders to force COVID-19 patients into pristine but vulnerable long-term care homes that doomed thousands were always someone else’s fault—the rest homes’, the president’s, the families’—anyone’s fault but his own?
Or perhaps one has had it when listening to the mayor of Seattle, speaking of a fetid violent “Capitol Hill Organized Protest” as a “summer of love,” or the mayor of Minneapolis trying to contextualize the mass nightly murdering of young men while he jabbers about in Hamlet fashion whether to or not to defund the police?
What is the suburbanite to make of the past commentaries of Nikole Hannah-Jones, the 2020 Pulitzer Prize winner for commentary, and self-described moral architect of the New York Times’ anti-racist “1619 project”:
The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world…The descendants of these savage people pump drugs and guns into the Black community, pack Black people into the squalor of segregated urban ghettos and continue to be bloodsuckers in our community.
Are supporters of redating America’s Founding supposed to shrug at all that in the current landscape, in which we are told that there is no such thing as a statute of limitations, no allowance for human frailty, no excuse for a single past racist statement? And are we to replace the Founders with such enlightened thinking?
Are Americans supposed to take seriously the corporate leftist media, when one moment the mindless anchors are reading the same scripted Orwellian talking points about systematic NASCAR racism, the suffering of Bubba Wallace, and hyping a garage door pull-rope as if they were discussing the Dred Scott case? And in the next Jussie Smollett moment, after the narrative is discredited, they of course move on to a Foucauldian farce, along the lines of what really did not happen, most surely could have happened, and thus in a sense did happen?
So each day, ill-defined groups of Americans silently drift into the “I can’t take this insanity anymore” camp. The polls assure us that it is not so. The media praises the basement strategy of an addled Biden. The op-ed writers gleefully preen that Trump is through—and perhaps he could be if he stays portrayed as ineffectively dealing with the recession, the virus, and the violence
The Choice Is Still Trump’s
Nonetheless, quiet masses will desert from the progressive narrative, if they feel someone else will guarantee their safety and security from it. They as yet do not know always where or to what there are deserting, but they have had it with the looting, the arson, the banal “you are a racist!” empty rhetoric, the hatred, the violence, the juxtaposition between cries of inequality and poverty and the televised shots of seemingly comfortable middle-class anarchy and the looting of high-end Adidas sneakers and high-definition TVs rather than staples.
Many have retreated already into their own monasteries of the mind. By that, I mean that if the coaches take a knee in the fall, they will turn off the NFL—for good. They will not answer any more alumni summons to donate to their almae matres. Some are shopping for homes in the hills or countryside or small towns. Others are worn out from being asked to pay ever more taxes and work ever harder, only to earn smears that they are racists, or homophobes, or somehow Neanderthals for being skeptical of socially constructed gender.
They shrug at whatever progressive stew created a wannabe Fifth-Avenue revolutionary like Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez—they don’t want any part of it. To the degree these disaffected who feel enough is enough, stay home, then perhaps Biden will win.
But if they translate their growing fury into voting for someone perceived as answering calmly and forcefully back, protecting them, and punishing those who so brazenly flaunt the law and humiliate any who call them to account, then Trump will be reelected and more easily than our experts can imagine.
Despite the tsunami of unforeseen contagion, mass quarantine, and national riot, the choice is still Trump’s: stay calm, speak softly, and carry a club, while promising for the future to protect the vulnerable of all races and classes, and restore a great nation; or talk loudly carrying a twig while whining about unfair personal treatment of the past.
The former is victory, the latter socialism, in November.

The foundation of today's rioting, looting, pillaging was laid when liberals took over the colleges and universities and drove out professors who had different views, loyalties and entire generations had their minds filled with mush and hatred of America. We are now reaping the rewards of having allowed entire departments to become infiltrated by Marxists.
Meanwhile, blacks represent 13% of our total population and commit a disproportionate amount of crime, are disproportionately less well educated, have lower incomes on a per capita basis and yet Asians, are doing fine who come over to America with little if anything. In fact Asians are doing better than whites. Why is this? Is it because Asians elevate education. Is it because their culture reveres the family structure? What of the Cubans who came to this country to escape Communism. They are one of the most productive and dynamic people in all of America. They are not burning down Florida. They love this country and the opportunities it has afforded them.
Trillions of dollars in "welfare" and special "affirmative" benefits have been thrown at the problem and the rioters claim nothing consequential, by way of significant progress, has been accomplished for the most part. Anyone who can read knows this is not the case but the shrill voices always seem to win because the mass media can make more money patronizing the aggrieved.
The only thing that appears to be happening is, I am told, because I am privileged, I owe something to those for what I did not do to them and who want to destroy the nation that has done more for them than any in the world. America never claimed to be perfect. Our Constitution begins by saying: "We the People of The United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union..." America is a work in progress along certain guidelines. It is a continuum nation.
I am also told that if I do not meet the escalating demands of The BLM and other radicals they will burn everything down. In other words, the anarchists will see that no one has anything and that is their solution to their claim of deprivation.
Furthermore, I am supposed to "kneel" down and negotiate with these recreants and if I do not I am labeled a racist. America disassociated from England because we were tired of kneelng down to an English King whom, we concluded, was a tyrant. We specifically charged him with various actions in The Declaration of Independence.
I do not yield to intimidation, nor do I feel guilty for being born. I will always feel blessed for being an American, for having the opportunity of being free to fail or succeed. To be able to row my own boat so to speak. I do not envy those who have done better, regardless of their color, I do not want to take anything away from them nor do I believe they owe me anything other than to respect my rights as I respect theirs. I have no desire to destroy or disrupt their livelihood
Frankly, I am fed up with their behaviour and their demands. What happened 160 years ago is known as the past. If they have chosen to align themselves with politicians who continue to sell them a bill of goods that is their problem. If they want to live a life blaming others for their circumstances they are free to do so and pay the consequences of perennial bitterness and hatred. If they want to change their circumstances they will find I am not an impediment. That said, my empathy is also waning .
There will always be prejudice, nothing is ever perfect. America is the best there is and it will be better in the future unless radicals choose to destroy it and we deplorables have become so intimidated we fear to resist.
The people of the most powerful country on the planet say goodbye to one of its BEST sons.
Even presidents are not buried like this. ...A golden coffin; hundreds of thousands of mourners sobbing. ... Thousands kneeling, apologizing to the black population of the country...
The Mayor of Minneapolis clutching the coffin with the body of 'THE MOST WORTHY OF THE WORTHY' citizens of America.
His sobs are interrupted by cries of "SOO.......OOOORY again continue on the rise.
Choking on saliva, the ex-wife of the murdered weeps, though, the last time she saw him was 6 years ago. ..That's when he left her with her three-month-old daughter.
He HAS NOT sent alimony to/FOR his daughter over the years.
However, the unhappy widow has been crying for a week that she was left without a breadwinner.
Therefore compassionate Americans collected oodles of money for her.
She’s received almost $ 20,000,000 so far from the world and money continues to flow in.
The University of Massachusetts has established a George Floyd scholarship.
George Floyd, 46, hero, died while being arrested for passing a counterfeit twenty dollar bill in Minneapolis, MN., on May 25, 2020.
George was a lifelong drug addict and career criminal whose interests included acting in porn movies, selling cocaine and fentanyl, robbing defenseless women during home invasions, holding a gun to a pregnant woman’s abdomen, and spending time in prison among others like him. His cause of death will be disputed in court but unsurprisingly, he tested positive for methamphetamine and a powerful respiratory depressant fentanyl, two of his favorite recreational drugs.
George recently moved to Minneapolis to get a fresh start and to leave Houston, where he had accumulated at least three convictions for drug offenses and aggravated robbery while armed with a firearm.
The fact that his most recent arrest was for a non-violent offense shows that George had finally found his way.
George is survived by several children from several different baby mommas, none of whom had seen him for years because he was only recently released from Texas State Prison after serving a five year sentence for his robbery conviction.
The great Floyd's rap sheet listed drug trafficking and armed robberies (last time, holding a pregnant woman by the throat and putting a gun barrel to her belly while demanding money).
Then he worked a deal with the investigators.
Floyd handed over all his accomplices so they reduced his sentence by several years.
Floyd's autopsy revealed drugs in his blood. ... IS This is the national hero of America of the 21st century??
But there were followers. The Floyd love affair lives and grows.
Mass robberies and violence, as a sign of respect and grief for George, swept the US and now grows into a worldwide event.
Some of the most beautiful areas of our cities, including New York and Los Angeles plus many others have now been destroyed.
A 17-year-old girl was terribly raped, many police officers were injured.
Cars, squares, parks were burned.
A Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden, Nancy and the leading Democrats in the country fell to their knees for over 8 minutes in homage to America's latest hero.
Finally, Floyd’s family was awarded with a folded American flag, a symbol meant to honor our heroes for their heroism and devotion to our country.
America: We have a serious Problem!
