Are you tired of the constant polling and angst over the question of "Who can beat Joe Biden" in the upcoming 2024 Presidential election? I find it demeaning that journalists are even asking that question. But I am apparently still in the minority of folks that contend Joe Biden didn't really win the 2020 election. Either way, if we accept the outcome as presented to us by the lame-stream media, it nevertheless showed Donald Trump garnered 11 million more votes than he got in his victory in 2016. He increased his support among both females and minorities. The polls show he has steadily increased his support among Republicans since Joe took office. Biden supposedly collected 81 million votes from, well, who knows where? Thin air. Supposedly, he out-performed Hillary Clinton by 15 million votes. And he did it without breaking a sweat, campaigning from his cellar in Maryland. He never conducted any rallies and seldom spoke before major constituencies like labor unions or women's groups. He is, by that measure, a masterful political animal. Now we watch helplessly as Joe undermines all of the progress achieved during Trump's four year administration. The world is in chaos, as are our inner cities. We are in another endless war cycle in Ukraine, after walking out on Iraq and Afghanistan, leaving the victorious Taliban billions of advanced military equipment and technology. The dollar is near collapse as the dominant financial instrument in worldwide trade, so the Biden administration has elected to print more money and send it overseas. The resulting inflation has undermined the housing segment, and locked an entire generation of first-time homebuyers out of the market. After suffering through two years of the manmade Pandemic, what's left of our manufacturing sector is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. According to the Institute for Supply Management Report on Business, manufacturing activity has contracted for ten consecutive months. In 2015 Vice President Joe Biden said “An unrelenting stream of immigration — will make white people a minority in the United States…That’s a source of our strength.” Now, because he has effectively thrown open the Southern border ( border encounters are up 348% in 2023) we are in the clutches of drug and human smuggling cartels, sending poison into our communities and swamping the workforce with uneducated, desperate workers. Recent estimates are that America will lose over 100K citizens to illegal drug overdoses this year alone. Major cities are awash with homeless, drug riddled people that have no hope, no future and nothing to contribute. And the scourge of human sex trafficking is growing all across the world. According to the Biden White House, "We're getting stronger every day!" But the Human Development Index, a United Nations report designed to measure the human condition based on three metrics: Length of life, knowledge and standard of living, shows America has dropped to 21st in the world, behind Ireland, Belgium and Iceland! We watch the nightly news repeat the mantra that "Everything is improving" as though we are too stupid to see that it is not. And the United States is not alone. There is a growing unease around the world that our leaders are running out of excuses. People are waking up to how abusive and unreliable major transnational media operations really are. They celebrate absurd ideas like George Soros World Economic Forum's narrative "You vill own nothink, und be happy!" Indications are that America is moving away from every principle under which the Republican Party was established, and our Constitutional Republic is on the verge of collapse. The real question journalists should be asking is why are Republicans floating all of these uncompetitive candidates at all? It is so obviously just a charade. When you have the bases loaded in a tie game, in the bottom of the ninth and Babe Ruth scheduled to bat, why would you even consider a pinch hitter? I have no MBA in foreign affairs or experience in domestic intelligence operations. I haven't served on any political or private industry committees or boards. I am just like you, a citizen that is interested in the everyday goings on in my world. I watch and I listen and then I try to put the puzzle together and come up with an As the World Turns theory. Then I write the Days of Our Lives script as I see it. I post a blog, or submit an Op Ed. I talk to groups and among my friends and relatives. Recently, the story lines have become very serious and threatening to the continuation of the series itself. The idea that I can express my concerns publicly without recrimination was for most of my life just an accepted fact. I live in America, the Land of the Free. But others like me, most with a much wider audience, are being told to back off. Too stop promoting "Conspiracy Theories" that our Republic is under assault. They are being "Fact Checked" or shadow banned on social media platforms. Some have been threatened by their employers, or their unions. We all have had to be careful about what we say in any group meetings, family or otherwise. Some have to show proof of vaccinations to stay employed. I can't help but be reminded of the days of the Cold War and how the media portrayed the Soviet Union. Where neighbors snitched on neighbors who questioned authority. Where the Government kept lists of potential traitors to the Motherland. I am not widely read enough to be on that type of list. But a "Terrorist Watch List" across the popular media platforms does exist. We are all being monitored by algorithms and what we say is being logged, every minute of every hour of every day. That is what is different now than just a few years ago. Big Brother is in The House, and his name is Google. We have developed an alternate language so we can talk about issues in generic terms. We express our anger with Big Tech because they spy on us. Or how we are mistreated by Mainstream Media, or Big Pharma. Joe Biden demonizes MAGA Republicans as though they were, as the Nazis referred to Jews, just "Vermin". And his supporters cheer, as did the German population just before the Holocaust. It is getting pretty scary for anyone on the right side of the aisle politically. I think about what has occurred just since January 2020:
When I look back at my blogs ( I have a decade in archive at TurnRightAtLost.com ) I see I have been right more often than not. I have a skill for "Seeing Patterns" and based on those, I make assumptions. Here are some I wrote about in the past:
I was right about all of those issues. I knew immediately on the morning of November 4th, 2020, that the overnight reversal of Trump's enormous lead was nefarious. It mimicked the trends we have seen in California, where the presumed winning candidates and initiatives would rack up huge leads in early returns, then suddenly be reversed while we slept. Trump was too popular to be beaten legitimately by a snarky old political hack like Joe Biden. A man who had been caught plagiarizing speeches, lying about his educational record, the deaths of his first wife and his oldest son and raising a family of deviates. No way! It's now been almost three years and I am proving to be right about that too. I had a Department of Defense Computer Intelligence Specialist in my living room on January 6th as the events on the Capitol Steps unfolded on TV. He and I watched the rioting, the impact grenades and flares sent into the crowd by the Capitol Police, the beatings and handcuffs, the screaming and the gunfire that wounded Ashley Babbitt (who would later die of her wounds). We were in shock. I turned to him and asked outright, "Did our military intelligence know that the election was corrupted?" He said, "Yes sir, they did" I couldn't believe I heard him admit that! "Why have they let this get to this point? Aren't they concerned that we may be getting into a civil war?" "Do you know anything about Google, sir?" "Actually, I do." "They are more powerful than Russia or China, sir. Our Government is indebted to them because they run the information systems, sir. If you can, I would advise you to be well armed, and be aware that we may well see a civil war in our future." I have written about Google extensively, and I was privileged to meet Dr. Robert Epstein, who predicted that Google would influence the 2020 election, swinging it away from the disruptor Donald Trump. Both he and the soldier from the DOD were 100% on the money! I wrote about that too, but only after the fact in my book "f'd: For Your Own Good".. Now I am making some other more frightening predictions, of which I hope I am not right! I am predicting (September, 2023) that Biden will be martyred. How? I am not sure, but he has too much baggage to be the nominee for 2024. The only way he can avoid total political destruction is to leave the stage, and so I predict they will give him the Ticket To Paradise. I am also predicting that Trump will not be re-elected. Why? Because he was never DEFEATED. He was never legally removed. There are currently multiple lawsuits pending that will decertify several state election results, and effectively do what Trump requested Mike Pence do on January 6th, 2021: Review the electoral votes of many battleground states that showed enormous voting trend anomalies in the electronic tallies late in the morning hours of November 4th, 2020 and beyond. When those suits reveal the degree of corruption in the election process, it will allow Trump to reveal his Game Plan: The Art of The Appeal. But we still have to deal with Google. Which is the symbolic God Of Intelligence in 2023. Remember Mao Zedong murdered the Intellectual Class because he saw them as THE threat to Communist Utopia. Then Stalin murdered ANYONE that opposed his Marxist Revolution. Then came Pol Pot, Ceausescu, Castro, Kim and on and on…all drunk with power. We should know by now, "Power corrupts; Absolute power corrupts absolutely". And we should be fully aware that all of those depotic tyrannical regimes slaughtered over 200 million innocent people. They showed no remorse or empathy for ANY of those human souls. To Marxists, The Ends Justifies The Means. It's them or us. Them or 4 trillion people. Who is going to win the War Of Attrition? Since every weapon on Earth, every means of exchanging information, of keeping the trains running on time depends on computer systems… Remember Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of Arthur C. Clarks short story called 2001: A Space Odyssey? When the lone surviving astronaut named Dave, is confronted with the rogue computer (HAL) holding his life in his virtual hands? Dave: Hello, HAL, do you read me? Do you read me, HAL? HAL: Affirmative, Dave. I read you. Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL. HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. Dave: What's the problem? HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do. Dave: What are you talking about, HAL? HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. Dave: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL. Dave is us. HAL is Google, telling us that The Mission is too important for us to interfere with. And we are pretending we don't know what the FrankenMedia (Big Tech/Big Pharma/Military Industrial Complex) is talking about. We can't believe the folks that run the entire backbone of human society would jeopardize the future of mankind. Or would they? We built this Monster, and now we are losing control of it. If I am right again, well, we'll see, won't we… There is a sensation millions of people crave. It is something innate and indigenous to their soul. It rests inside their cerebellum, waiting for any opportunity to burst out with joy. It is also something that never dies. It is passed along from generation to generation, like the sexual urge. It resides in beings from both genders, but seems overwhelmingly strong in males. It is the need to ride. It doesn't really matter what the vehicle is…it can be a horse, a surfboard, a wave, or sliding down a mountain on skis or a board or even a sled. It can be a waterski, or skateboard, or a motorcycle. For some it is an airplane, or a sailboat. It is the ride that is the compelling need. It is the sense that you are getting the wind in your face, a rush from the danger, or just something for free. Cave paintings from hundreds of thousands of years ago show people riding on sky chariots. Before the wheel was invented, man rode elephants, and used currents and wind to ride the ocean. I would bet many of your fondest memories are of some thrilling moment riding something scary: A roller coaster, a pair of water skis, or a tricycle. It starts with childhood, but it grows as we mature and often becomes an obsession. Cowboys and Cowgirls spend most of their lives around their horses. Motorcyclists often go to their graves riding their "hogs". Recently we have invented a new vehicle called the internet. It has generated a new pathological dependency called Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD). When a person cannot avoid spending huge amounts of time "surfing" the 'net', it can cause all sorts of other social and personality conflicts. Surfing the net is not a ride. The difference is clear: The other kinds of obsessions have to do with the outdoors and nature. The freedom of being excited by "riding" the wind, the snow, or the water, is unlike hiding in a room and becoming absorbed by some amorphous electronic stimulation. The results are diametrically opposed: Riding a motorcycle or a surfboard creates a collision between nature and the rider. Surfing the net or getting stimulation from a video game is 100% self absorbed. The fundamental element of interacting with nature is missing. Many boomers swear by "Natural Highs". We seek them and when we find them we design our lives around them. They have given birth to enormously successful businesses that serve collateral needs for clothing, equipment, facilities or entertainment. Extreme Sports has grown exponentially as the technology of "Riding" explodes. Now there is windsurfing, hang gliding, bungy jumping, wakeboarding, even rocketing into space, all with specialized equipment and supporting associations and publications. Though video gamers will claim the "High" they get is just as fulfilling and challenging as extreme sports, they know in their hearts they still need that testosterone rush that can only come from facing certain death while going over the falls trying to catch a ten foot high wave. My point is, healthy individuals who seek thrills and tranquility by riding their motorcycle or their surfboard are evidence that mankind has an innate desire to challenge nature. Sitting in front of a personal electronic device, fiddling with a control device or driving a golf ball into a video screen will never substitute for the need to express total and complete freedom from fear and control. The Ride will always be the elixir for that unexplainable need. A Poor Facsimile of the Real Thing
I don't think most people have any idea how evil the hijacking of American sovereignty really is. The corrupted election of 2020, and probably others before and since, is nothing less than a war crime against humanity. But most folks have written it off as the side effects of our divided society. That it is unhelpful to argue about what amounts to sloppy bookkeeping. "Oh my", you say! "That is a crazy thing to say! You are simply upset that Donald Trump lost the election to Joe Biden." No, although that is the apparent result. I contend that there has been an illegal act of war that has fundamentally changed everything about our system. Can we discuss my contention without the usual outbursts of personal assault, of dismissal of evidence and conniption fits? Let's look at what has happened since (sometimes it is easier to judge the damage done by a hurricane after it passes). On the very first day Biden took office, he wrote a series of Executive Orders that reversed most of the changes Trump had made to the normal processes of governing that had been instituted for decades. Many of which had interfered with the influence voters play in the everyday operations of the Federal Government. I say this based on the evidence that Trump won in 2016 based on his promise to "Secure the border, stop the rampant spread of terrorism, become the dominant force in worldwide energy supply, and return America to the Constitutional principles of "all men are created equal". Since the COVID Pandemic was the focal point of the Democratic Presidential Campaign (and was the ultimate weapon against the successes of the Trump Administration), Biden made it his priority to emphasize COVID protections. He immediately
These actions were designed to pander to the fears of COVID impacts on students and the poor. Then, to reinforce his Climate Crisis gaslighting platform, he:
Biden capitulated to the Globalists who want to force America to pay for the "damage"done by the use of fossil fuels. To strengthen the nations dedication to "Racial Justice", he:
The Democrats have made it clear they favor open borders and the elimination of immigration laws. You cannot point to any legislation sponsored by Democrats that protects us from millions of unvetted, under educated, often criminal and mostly draft aged men, flooding our nation. By allowing the census to count illegals as semi-citizens, the Democrats expanded their representative numbers in Congress. Biden then went on to:
Any objective review of this tsunami of new protocols would conclude Biden was simply pandering to the press, who would in turn quickly and loudly proclaim Biden was restoring America's Nobility. That his actions were righteous because he reversed most, if not all, of Trump's racist, bigoted and transphobic orders and memos. That sanity had been restored to Washington and American's can once again be proud that justice was restored to the forgotten and abused portions of our society. If the objective of government was to cater to certain segments of society, that would all be true. But in America, as provided by the Constitution, the government is not designed to promote any special interests. It was designed to serve the Greater Good. How does abandoning our border do that? How does forcing anyone to wear a face diaper protect their God Given rights to be free of government impositions? How does allowing International Court jesters to place sanctions on or to arrest Americans protect our citizens? How does placing environmental restrictions on American energy developers (the same are not required in other countries) help us to improve our competitiveness? The vast majority of Biden's Executive Orders and proclamations are geared to pander to Democrat constituencies: Unions, especially huge Federal workers; Immigrants and their employers; special interest groups like LGBTQ, BLM, and females. Can you point to one order that favors American business or agricultural industries? By forcing the issues of gender and skin color discrimination into the arena of federal influence, the Democrats have stirred up the tribal instincts of all special interests in America, pouring gasoline on an already intense dumpster fire of racial and gender anxieties. All the evidence that Trump's policies were actually stimulating huge increases in domestic economic activity has been collectively kicked under the rug of Progressive celebrations over their success at the polls. They brag about Zuckerberg's $500M dispersed illegally to influence the student vote. They tout how accepting unsigned, unverified and late ballots increased voter representation. They ignore the fact that electronic voting machines were all in violation of internet connectivity restrictions. Which brings us full circle, back to the other unbelievably unAmerica activities that have occurred since the Biden inauguration: Hundreds of citizens have been processed through the Washington DC court system, charged with a myriad of trumped up charges over the January 6th protests that erupted into a riot. I could go on for days about the infestation of federal employees that provoked the violence, the Capitol Police inviting citizens into the building, then closing the doors behind them. The fact that videos of the event have been withheld from the public and especially from court proceedings is beyond belief. Now we find out that the Washington jailers are forging COVID test results to deny detainees their day in court! I am outraged and you should be too. The first ones to object and to demand accountability should be the Biden administration. But no! Instead they are in collusion with the prosecutors, doing everything in their power to discredit and deny their ability to be heard. The only way to understand this abomination of justice is to recognize that Biden cannot face the truth about the "Rigged" election. No one in the DOJ, the FBI or the CIA has, to this day, submitted any evidence (other than to make proclamations) that there were no anomalies to the orderly and legal voting process in the five most critical battleground states during the days after the November 3rd election in 2020. Indeed, the evidence is mounting that there were enormous violations of election propriety in Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan. When will Congress hold hearings and ask, under oath, the heads of those intelligence agencies, "Can you produce any evidence that contradicts the whistleblowers, the logistical and empirical evidence, that votes were excluded, duplicated, changed or forged?" Maybe then I will apologize for erroneously claiming that the Biden Administration is itself a poor facsimile of the real thing. Padre fans are used to disappointment. Last year San Diego experienced an amazing high when our Padres eliminated the LA Dodgers in the first round, only to fall to the power hitting Philadelphia Phillies. Seeing an opportunity to overcome the Dodger stranglehold on their division, Padre management went on a spending spree, raising the 2023 payroll to the third highest in the majors. Fans had high hopes that 2023 would be THE YEAR! But it wasn't to be. Instead we watched the team crash and burn. It was, well…humiliating. As I look at the recent history of the Padres, I can't help but notice a few obvious issues.
It should be obvious that Preller is a micro manager. When things go south, he finds scapegoats. Imagine the team we could have fielded if he just showed some patience with player development? He traded away or allowed to leave Craig Kimbrell, Yasmani Grandal, Max Fried, Trey Turner, Ty France, CJ Abrams, and power hitting first baseman Josh Bell. He went out and got Josh Hader to stabilize the closer position and hopefully put the Padres in a position to take down the Dodgers in the western division. But he also allowed Hader to place pitch count restrictions in his contract that kept him on the bench in too many important innings. Once again the Padres have huge holes in the roster. Letting Josh Bell go was a big mistake. They have not established an allstar-type first baseman since Adrian Gonzales left in 2010. Finding a power hitting, cornerstone first baseman like free agent Rhys Hoskins should be priority one. I would trade Jake Cronenworth for another arm in the disastrous bullpen. In most games the Padres would have the lead going into the sixth or seventh inning, only to give up a big inning and end up blowing the game. Jake is a great athlete, but Kim is faster, bunts better, and is even more versatile, if that is possible. Plus, we have to find help at pitching. I think catchers Gary Sanchez and Luis Campusano are a good fit for the near future. They have improved the team's defense against the run, batting average, and run production. Trent Grisham is a Gold Glove center fielder, but he is a milestone at the plate. Move Tatis to center, Profar in left and Soto in right field. I would establish a set batting order: Kim, Soto, Tatis, Machado, Hoskins, Bogaerts, Sanchez/Campusano, Profar, (DH) Campusano/Sanchez. Then leave it alone. The San Diego Padre Baseball front office should emulate the template established by GM Derrick Hall in Arizona. They are strong in every aspect of franchise performance: Player development, fan experience, community relations and fiscal responsibility. And most importantly, they have a well established reputation for great employee relations. With a payroll ranked 21st in the majors, the Diamondbacks are proving money is not the key to success. |
