Mueller Team Corruption Contaminates Justice

The FBI , DOJ, and CIA were all involved in, at minimum, unethical use of law enforcement tools. Looking back, it is evident that the Mueller investigation was an extension of this soft coup.

Mueller Team Corruption Contaminates Justice:

Mueller may have been chosen to lead this investigation with knowing intent. His faculties are clearly diminished, so he was not likely capable of guiding a lawful investigation, leaving it prone to mission creep. Mueller's reputation  provided cover for lawyers with lawless intent. This article suggests that Mueller was essentially a beard, a face for the public. Unethical behavior abounded in this investigation.

The Presidential candidate for the Democratic party displays similar characteristics, slurred speech, failure to recall primary information, topic changes within the same sentence. The President describes his opponent with unkind characterizations, which is unfortunate, but necessary to drive the point home. If Mr. Biden is elected, he will an unwitting foil, not be capable of restraining people who have no regard for the Constitution

Black Appraisals of Black Lives Matter

Black Appraisals of Black Lives Matter – Part I:
"While it might not be popular to say in the wake of the recent social disorder, the true plight of black people has little or nothing to do with the police or what has been called 'systemic racism.' Instead, we need to look at the responsibilities of those running our big cities.
"Some of the most dangerous big cities are: St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Newark, Buffalo and Philadelphia. The most common characteristic of these cities is that for decades, all of them have been run by liberal Democrats. Some cities — such as Detroit, Buffalo, Newark and Philadelphia — haven't elected a Republican mayor for more than a half-century. On top of this, in many of these cities, blacks are mayors, often they dominate city councils, and they are chiefs of police and superintendents of schools....
"Democratic-controlled cities have the poorest-quality public education despite their large, and growing, school budgets. Consider Baltimore. In 2016, in 13 of Baltimore's 39 high schools, not a single student scored proficient on the state's math exam. In six other high schools, only 1% tested proficient in math. Only 15% of Baltimore students passed the state's English test. That same year in Philadelphia, only 19% of eighth-graders scored proficient in math, and 16% were proficient in reading. In Detroit, only 4% of its eighth-graders scored proficient in math, and 7% were proficient in reading. It's the same story of academic disaster in other cities run by Democrats.
"Violent crime and poor education is not the only problem for Democratic-controlled cities. Because of high crime, poor schools and a less pleasant environment, cities are losing their economic base and their most productive people in droves....
"Academic liberals, civil rights advocates and others blamed the exodus on racism — 'white flight' to the suburbs to avoid blacks. But blacks have been fleeing some cities at higher rates than whites. The five cities whose suburbs have the fastest-growing black populations are Miami, Dallas, Washington, Houston and Atlanta. It turns out that blacks, like whites, want better and safer schools for their kids and don't like to be mugged or have their property vandalized. And like white people, if they have the means, black people cannot wait to leave troubled cities.
"White liberals and black politicians focus most of their attention on what the police do, but how relevant is that to the overall tragedy? According to Statista, this year, 172 whites and 88 blacks [nationwide] have died at the hands of police. To put police shootings in a bit of perspective, in Chicago alone in 2020 there have been 1,260 shootings and 256 homicides with blacks being the primary victims. That comes to one shooting victim every three hours and one homicide victim every 15 hours. Three people in Chicago have been killed by police. If one is truly concerned about black deaths, shootings by police should figure way down on one's list — which is not to excuse bad behavior by some police officers."

Confiscating Books in Sweden

You might find it interesting, another story of how the best intentions of a government always means that some party or group is going to be injured. The government of Sweden seeks to promote diversity, an in that vein of good will, suppresses the free speech and reports bad behavior of the recipients of that largesse.

A government's first responsibility it to its citizens. When governments place global objectives above national responsibilities, they risk becoming something other than a government of the people. In no small part tyrannical.

Confiscating Books in Sweden:

The confiscation of books and the upcoming case against author and comedian Aron Flam has ignited a debate in Sweden about the value of freedom of speech.

Never Give Up

This is what a free press should be measured against.


"We Will Never Give Up"


France is starting to reflect on the dramatic decline in its freedom of expression.
