To Charles Blow, David Remmick, E.J. Dionne, Eugene Robinson and the rest of the "educated" elite class of New York-Washington judgmental hacks: Get over it. To quote an educated man, "Elections have consequences." You fear for your country? So did we if the country had gone from the arrogant and inept Obama to the evil and corrupt Clinton.
Now there is a slight chance of allowing American ingenuity and business to do what it does best - innovate and create jobs to improve the standard of living for all Americans do good in the world. We "deplorables" will ignore you intellectually dishonest partisans who think anyone who disagrees with you is ignorant and racist. We will ignore your hate-filled invective that now fills your worthless columns. Or better yet, I'll use them to line my cat's litter box. That's where your words belong.

221: Why Are Dems So Gullible?
At breakfast this morning, a dear friend of mine said, "Betsy DeVos (nominee for Secretary of Ed under Trump) had contributed $9.5 million to Trump." Although I already knew my friend to be a hopelessly brainwashed Democrat dependent on government largess due to irresponsible personal financial habits, I nevertheless pushed back against so obvious a ridiculous statement. "Where had he heard or read this," I queried? He was obviously taken aback and mumbled something about the NYT or Washington Post.
Later in the day, I researched the subject and found not a shred of evidence of any such outrageous contributions to Trump. In point of fact, it turns out the Ms DeVos did not even support Trump until after the convention.
The point is, how did my friend fall victim to whatever sources he has for this obviously bad information? And how has he become so comfortable believing it?

219: Phew! I'm Glad That's Over
The last 24 years since 1992 have been like a long nightmare, with the Clintons and their sleaze game at the top of political heap the whole time. Now the nightmare is over, and if BO wants to pardon Hillary I'm just fine with that. Let her go out to pasture and live the rest of her days thinking of what might have been. The Clintons no longer have anything to sell. They pretty much picked clean the skeleton of the Democrat party, and now that political party is paying the price.

218: End Of Friend Days
Tomorrow is election day in the USA. Hillary is the odds on favorite to win. When she takes office, she will continue the relentless expansion and power grab of government to redistribute wealth from those who work to those who don't. The only exception is those who work for the government. They will prosper, but of course they don't create any value. The incentive to work to create value will continue to vanish.
I was reading about Winston Churchill's loss of friends as he railed against the appeasement policies of Chamberlain, as Chamberlain naively appeased Hitler. This is no different. My wrong-headed family and friends who are going to vote for Clinton, as they voted for BO twice before, will fade from my circle. Churchill turned out to be right, and so shall I, but at what cost?

217: If BO Pardons Hillary
If Hillary wins, and then BO pardons her for all crimes committed during her reign as secretary of state, all Americans who did NOT vote for Hillary should stop paying federal income tax.

216: Patriots Are For Trump
Let me be clear: Although I have never met Donald Trump, his persona, as displayed in the entertainment sphere is not attractive to me. Perhaps he is a fine fellow to do business with, or to play golf with. I just don't know.
But as for who is better qualified to head up an organization (the United States government) that is hell bent on self destruction, anyone who votes for Hillary over Trump is definitely NOT a patriot. Patriots believe in upholding and defending the principles and values upon which this country is founded. Freedom, self-reliance, justice, are not values of Hillaryism. Hillary believes that government should run virtually every facet of our lives. She also believes that the vast majority of us are incapable of making decisions about what is in our best interest. Only Big Government can do that, she says.
Institutionalized Republicans are no better than Hillary. They only want to preserve and grow the status quo, and continue to feather their own nests.
I read somewhere recently a description of Trump as a "wrecking ball." This is exactly what Washington, D.C. needs. If we don't reform our governing class, the only certain outcome will be revolution.

215: The Over-Educated
One of the more widely used descriptions of Trump supporters used by the in-the-tank-for-Hillary national media is, "less educated white voters." The clear inferences that the media wants one to take from this are: First, less educated means dumber. Second, less educated white voters are different from less educated black, brown and yellow voters. Third, if a less educated white voter got a college degree, he or she would be smarter and suddenly become a Hillary suppporter.
Leaving aside the media's racial profiling, I think the most telling observation here is that the media equates formal education with the ability and intelligence to make an informed decision about a candidate for national office. I have many friends and acquaintances with four year and/or advanced degrees who voted for BO twice, and will certainly vote for Hillary. Most of these folks will blindly accept as truth any snarky comment made on NPR or MSNBC. But they will not take the time to read and consider a well researched and reasoned article if it is in the WSJ. These people are over educated, and the product of an insular environment that excludes any information that does not comport with their conventional "wisdom." The Federal Reserve System Open Market Committee is a perfect microcosm of this kind of over education run rampant. A group of PhDs trying to convince themselves (and everyone else) that their Committee, and ONLY THEIR COMMITTEE, can direct an economy of three hundred million people by raising interest rates by one quarter of one percent per year.
But I digress. Back to the less educated white voters. The Deplorables, as Hillary calls them. I suppose at the media cocktail parties, less educated white voters is abbreviated to "white trash." These voters tend not to be beneficiaries of government largess. They receive Social Security and Medicare, but then they have paid into those programs for a lifetime. They do not receive preferential treatment for education or employment. They work hard, They save money for retirement. They pay their taxes. And what do they get in return? They get eight years of BO telling them they should be ashamed of their country, and the prospect of seeing the next eight years of runaway government expansion presided over by a congenital liar. No wonder we have Donald Trump.
