The Muslim “Ban”

February 20, 2017 by admin 27 Comments

Japanese – Americans in the Camp

Tokuji Yoshihashi (LA Times)

The Los Angeles Times did a piece today on the 75th anniversary of the executive order that led to Japanese-American citizens being interned by our own government during World War II. The Times article draws a parallel between Democrat President Roosevelt putting American citizens in barbed-wire enclosed detention camps, and Republican President Trump making citizens from seven dysfunctional Islamic countries wait an extra 90 days before getting vetted to travel into the U.S.

Tokuji Yoshihashi, a 94 year-old American veteran of the camps, and of military service with the highly decorated U.S. Army “Nisei” battalion in the European Theater of Operations, was interviewed. He was quoted as saying “That order to ban all the Muslims … I don’t think that’s right.”

Later in the article, former Democrat U.S. Rep. Norman Mineta is quoted “……we have a particular moral obligation to remind people that measures like the Muslim ban are not just unconstitutional, they are un-American.”

The MUSLIM BAN? What MUSLIM BAN?  The Times continues to facilitate the myth that the executive order is a “Muslim ban,” rather than truthfully and accurately explain that it was a 90 day moratorium on travel to the U.S., inapplicable to over 1.26 billion of the world’s Muslims.

You’ll have to Wait…..

The Times downplays the fact that a Democrat put thousands of American citizens behind the barbed wire in American prison camps, without due process. Then they take a disingenuous shot at Donald Trump.

Disgusting.

Bring in the Clowns

The famed Ringling Bros. circus is closing down for good after a 146-year run, Kenneth Feld, chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment, said in a statement posted last month to the circus website. In his statement, Feld cited high operating costs and declining ticket sales, which apparently saw a further drop after the circus stopped using elephants in response to pressure from animal rights activists.

This is a truly sad event for the youth of America, who will never have the opportunity to inhale the aromas of straw, animal dung, and junk food unique to the childhood circus experience, and watch slack-jawed as aerialists, jugglers, and wild animals perform fantastic feats of skill and daring.  “Ladies and Gentlemen and children of all ages….”

Clown News Network

This also a truly sad event for the adults of America, because all of the newly unemployed and out-of-work clowns will soon start to find jobs as commentators and analysts on mainstream media news programs.

No good news goes unworried

February 18, 2017 by admin 28 Comments

The Dow Jones Industrial Average squeaked to a seventh straight record high on Friday, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also closed at all-time highs.
After suffering losses for most of the Friday session, the Dow and S&P 500 turned positive in the final minutes of the week.  Stock values, fueled by the “Trump Rally,” have surged since the November presidential election, gaining over 10% in value.  It has been  a remarkable run that has more than a few investors scared that the bubble may burst any minute.
Lindsey Bell, an investment strategist at CFRA Research, is quoted as saying “What makes me nervous is that it feels like the market is ignoring what could come on immigration, trade, healthcare – the negative implications that could come from a protectionist government.”
Mr. Bell’s skepticism toward this positive financial news is a vestige of the consistent pessimism that has infused the American economic mindset these past years.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just enjoy a good steak dinner every now and then without worrying about clogged arteries?
