Update: O.J. Simpson-financed murder investigation of Nicole Brown Simpson

20th March, 2018 · charlesbrink · Leave a comment

Two buckets…..

 

First Bucket: The Mueller investigation should and will be allowed to finish. The question of whether Trump fires Mueller is only a wishful thinking exercise by the Democrats. And Trump is about to be given a HUGE favorable talking point by the Inspector General’s report in two to three weeks. The obvious should be stated though. If there was any evidence supporting Trump/Russian collusion it would have manifested itself by now. The Mueller investigation is about to turn one year-old. Its existence at this point is tearing the country apart and serves no useful purpose (unless its purpose all along was to wreck the federal government, manufacture a political cudgel for the 2018 elections, and confirm victory for the KGB). If Mueller is a fair man, it’s time for him to show his cards and wrap it up. He’s had more than enough time. Not arguable.

As Andrew McCarthy trenchantly opined, the Russian election meddling issue NEVER should have been politicized with a D.O.J. special counsel investigation. It should have been quietly classified and pursued with extreme prejudice as a counter-intelligence mission. Obviously, going forward, it should be reclassified and pursued as such.

Second bucket: The Obama Administration corrupted the D.O.J. It’s a shame. The mounting evidence clearly shows that it occurred.

But something far worse happened under the Obama Administration: The unprecedented power of the surveillance “tool box” built by the George W. Bush Administration was commandeered by the Obama Administration for political purposes. This happened. This clearly happened. Andrew McCabe was the first domino to fall. Others can’t fall soon enough – James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, James Clapper, and that creep traitor John Brennan. They’re all guilty. And for this reason there is a crescendo of voices calling for a second independent counsel to bring these despicable, incompetent apparatchiks to justice.

I personally don’t want to see a second independent counsel to investigate. As Alan Dershowitz screamed nine months ago – “It’s time to stop the criminalization of politics.” All of this only further divides the country. For sure, publicly humiliate the above list of people. They should all be shunned. But they should INDEPENDENTLY face normal prosecution for any laws broken.

The time has long past for the American Left to accept Trump’s victory and move on……Please.

My Take on Trump

9th January, 2016 · charlesbrink · Leave a comment

First, I am and have been a JEB supporter.

What the country is witnessing with the ascendancy of Donald J. Trump, however, is not just the visceral rejection of Obama and his ideology (collectivism) but also a deep-seated tantrum caused by the philosophical center of the federal government moving steadily to the left since the beginning of the Bush 41 presidency.

“A thousand points of light” was always a euphemism for endless government intervention. And 41′s betrayal of “read my lips, no new taxes” was the conception of the current-day Tea Party.

A meaningful majority of the country wants the federal government budget downsized to about 15% – 18% of GDP – if not smaller. This majority categorically disdains the welfare state. This majority, correctly, views the culture of dependency and victimization as the gateway to permanent decline. This majority intuitively understands that central planning has been dismissed long ago by history and that the Democratic Party offers nothing new except their latest “plan” for the country.

Enter Trump.

He is a blowhard – to the educated. He is a boor – to the educated. And he is utterly confusing – to the educated.

But to the common man he is a breath of fresh air that placates their years-accumulated frustration and anger. And he crosses partisan lines as if none existed. This is why the mainstream media (and the political class) has no explanation for his rise. They are in denial about where the political center of the common man actually resides and they have no idea about the magnitude of anger currently harbored by the middle class.

I don’t believe the current polling for Trump is accurate; I think he is far more popular.

Here’s why: Trump channels George Patton. “Why, Americans find the very notion of losing HATEFUL.”

America is sick of losing – or, at least, the experience of the perception of loss. America has never lost and the culture of maudlin empathy pushed by the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres has run its course to a burnt-out unsatisfying end.

When Trump labels someone a loser it registers. When Trump says he wants to make America great again it strikes a deep, full chord. And when Trump counter-punches attacks it makes people feel like there’s someone who has arrived – finally – to get stuff done.

Trump’s positions on immigration and trade are but vehicles of political expediency to deftly travel partisan lines.

“Hey Focker, I didn’t know they gave ribbons for fifth place?”

Neither did Trump. And neither did the American people – EVER. The left pushes that “fifth place ribbon” crap in all things (race, gender, religion, and class) and it’s corrosive to the culture. It’s the insidious inspiration of political correctness. And they’ve had enough.

America understands the character-building dynamic of competition. They understand the critical role that very dynamic has played in the building of America. They know not everyone can be a winner; That it’s important to experience losing; That losing usually is the precursor to learning how to win.

Say what we will about Donald Trump, he is a winner. People like that.

It’s that simple. It’s that powerful.

The New York Times editorial board is “off the reservation”

1st December, 2014 · charlesbrink · Leave a comment

I’ve avoided the Ferguson, Missouri story because I don’t believe the majority of people think there is a “there” there…..

The evidence strongly supports the decision rendered by the grand jury. It just does….

But along comes the 11/26/14 New York Times lead editorial:

“The case resonated across the country – in New York City, Chicago and Oakland – because the killing of young black men by police is a common feature of African-American life and a source of dread for black parents from coast to coast. This point was underscored last month in a grim report by ProPublica, showing that young black men in recent years were at a far greater risk – 21 times greater – of being shot dead by police than young white men. These statistics reflect the fact that many police officers see black men as expendable figures on the urban landscape, not quite human beings.”

This is claptrap. It’s a cruel cheap-shot at people’s intelligence. And it’s wishful thinking by the self-loathing American liberal…..

I say ‘wishful’ because the above reasoning implicitly abdicates the perpetrator’s accountability for their actions. It’s also a reversal of cause and effect. More blacks are killed by the police because blacks commit a greater proportion of violent crime relative to other racial groups and therefore police have a greater number of interactions with blacks relative to other racial groups…. If one accepts the NYT’s argument then the remedy for the suffering of inner-city blacks would be straightforward – mitigate policing in their neighborhoods…..

Here’s the stark statistical reality: Black’s represent about 13% of the American population. Blacks commit slightly more than 50% of ALL murders in America. Of those 50% roughly 90% are black-on-black! Less than 1% are a result of policing. LESS THAN 1%!!!

And the NYT editorial board believes the “killing of young black men by police is a common feature of African-American life”?

Daniel Moynihan famously quipped that American Society was seemingly “defining deviancy down”….It’s getting dangerous now…

From a purely self-interested perspective, by all means, let’s decrease the policing of African-American communities based on self-delusional reasoning. And then? Let’s watch the crime rates rise again. More prison lock manufacturing for me…

If we really – REALLY – wanted to help blacks we’d bust teacher unions nation-wide and fix our public schools (a Gov. Scott Walker busting)…We’d try once again to contract the nominal number of all people on the public dole like Bill Clinton successfully started… And we’d acknowledge the true cause of inner-city African-American under-performance: The breakdown of their FAMILIES……

God, if only racism was the problem….Wouldn’t that be easy?

It’s the dance that’s all the craze! Everyone is doing the “Gruber”!

24th November, 2014 · charlesbrink · Leave a comment

Melissa Francis revealed last week on FOX Business channel that as an employee of CNBC in 2010 she did an in-depth piece on Obamacare (then being crafted)…..She reported the arithmetic was egregiously flawed and the Ocare selling points were plainly false…..She was promptly called to the c-suite and told her reporting “was disrespectful to the office of the presidency” and instructed to do something else……

 

Think about that….Not only was the Obama Administration and the then Democratically-controlled Congress deceiving the “stupid” American public but the mainstream media was running interference FOR the deceivers – an interference that continues to this day……..

 

Which brings me to Jonathan Gruber…..

 

Thank you Mr. Gruber for your irrepressible candor…..The country salutes you!

 

This guy’s thought process pretty much summarizes EVERYTHING that Friedrich Hayek warned should be avoided: THE FATAL CONCEIT……

 

“Just do what you’re told. We know best. You’re too stupid to understand. Our plan will work because it will. Unintended consequences are an academic abstraction that the greedy use to obfuscate. Our moral superiority gives us license to deceive the masses – a noble deception in our messy democracy. The ends justify the means. You’ll thank us later!”

 

How many permutations can be authored using this arrogant technocrat Gruber? (Could one ask for a better Dickensian name?)

 

“Hey, now wait a minute! I think you’re Grubering me”

“That’s a Gruberite argument.”

“She spent her life Gruberlytizing.”

“The consensus was that capitalism collapsed under the heavy yoke of Gruberism.”

 

The 2016 Presidential debates for the Republican candidate will have a beautiful zinger waiting….Let Hillary (or better yet, Elizabeth Warren) drone on and on with their plan for the country. Then, in response, the Republican candidate need only reply while gently shaking his or her head “I didn’t know you were fluent in Gruber.”

 

The American electorate has a difficult time absorbing the indisputable wisdom of Hayek and Friedman but Gruber they get….Joe “the plumber” step aside. Gruber is IN THE HOUSE!

Dave Brat won convincingly this evening by reminding the country HOW we became the modern Roman Empire. How Simple. How eloquent…….

 

FREE MARKETS. ADAM SMITH. MILTON FRIEDMAN.

 

Wow. The federal government must be shrunk. SHRUNK

If you don’t know Saul Alinsky please familiarize yourself with him…Doing so will illuminate American Left behavior….

6th April, 2014 · charlesbrink · Leave a comment

The Left is adept with the “Saul Alinsky play book” as evident by its prescribed character assassination of political opponents….

 

But only crickets are heard when an invitation is extended to attack said opponent’s ideas…..

 

Lines are formed by Progressives for the opportunity to level ad hominem attacks directed at the Koch Brothers but they recoil from critiquing their message which is less government and more freedom….

 

Fiscal conservatives, on the other hand, relish attacking the message of George Soros or Tom Steyer which is more government, less freedom…And because these attacks yield such great results they’re rarely concerned with the messenger……

 

The Right is cocksure of the validity of their empirically tested ideas on how to govern: “Let the market decide. Keep your own earnings”……The Left must deceive the masses to ensure their ideas are implemented: “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”……

Putin – a Hitler in Western suit and tie…..

22nd March, 2014 · charlesbrink · Leave a comment

It’s tragic but it’s time….

 

The politically correct and timid isolationists will be removed from office because their historically ignorant views disqualify them from holding power…..It’s time to dust-off the, heretofore, taboo Hitler analogies and face the reality – again – that evil does indeed exist and always has….It’s time to shun the moral relativists because their geopolitical views are essentially appeasement disguised as effective policy……..

 

I’m not suggesting America should militarily engage Russia over the Crimea (and Ukraine in general) but the optics of Putin’s actions juxtaposed to America’s “paralysis” are miserable for the West…..

 

Putin WILL call NATO’s bluff at some point soon. He well understands America is currently governed by an intelligentsia wholly distracted by identity politics and not paying attention to the “Great Game” – an extremely provocative absurdity……

Obama – the fossil fuel president…..

15th March, 2014 · charlesbrink · Leave a comment

After the Russian-coerced Crimean referendum with the predetermined outcome do you think the Obama Administration will be preparing their explanation to the Greens on why the President will reluctantly and against his better anti-American judgment commence the next “American century” by allowing liquefied natural gas exports to Europe? His starting gun will be approval of the Keystone pipeline…..

 

If ya ain’t drilling horizontally you’re bloviating environmentally…..

An unmitigated disaster…..

6th February, 2014 · charlesbrink · Leave a comment

How much longer will the sloth peddlers (i.e. the Democratic Party) continue with their happy talk regarding Obamacare?

 

The central planners and plan-supporters should be ashamed of themselves. Their legislation has been a hard brake on the U.S. economy and poisonous to the incentive structure of our society….

 

In my perfect dream President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, George Miller, Henry Waxman, Howard Schultz (yes, Starbucks), Michael Bloomberg, Paul Krugman, the Sulzberger Family, and all Keynesians would be exiled to the “Isle of Economically Illiterate” – forever….We’d see our economy soar….

 

The Republicans are going to easily take control of the Senate this November and then? The march to repeal this disgrace begins in earnest….

 

Going forward, anyone who feels compelled to defend the ACA? Please, catch yourself and contemplate how the law’s unintended consequences are hurting far more people than the law’s intended benefits are helping…….

 

Creating and supporting a law like the ACA is what happens when a plurality of our intelligentsia ignores (or can’t comprehend) the hard-earned knowledge of Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek….

 

The ACA is the worst law ever passed and IT WILL BE REPEALED….Book it…..

Burning Man for central planners…………

16th January, 2014 · charlesbrink · Leave a comment

The Davos Economic Forum…It’s my favorite silly event for people who take themselves so very seriously….Listen to me! I have a plan….

 

It will feature such heavy weights as Larry Summers, George Soros, Eric Schmidt, Bono, Francois Hollande (with new mommy), Lloyd Blankfein, Goldie Hawn and so many more…..

 

The symposiums are always enlightening but this year’s brainstorming should yield magnificent new plans for all of us serfs to ponder.

 

Thank the Lord these Angels exist to guide us and save the planet….
