Running Trump File Day 4 and More.

Rational Nation USA
Purveyor of Truth


Today, just a few interesting links. Applied for Social Security retirement benefits and Medicare online today (easy but more time consuming than advertised), and now it is time to celebrate. First I'm putting up what I think are a few interesting articles and then off to Iron Duke Brewery for the best brews in Western Massachusetts. Of course the drinking will be responsible and the conversation lively.

The end of Sarah Palin is here

    Its sad the obstructionists and puerile malcontents continue in their vitriol and self-pity through what seems to be a positive turnaround in terms of the economy and application of the law. Luckily, the new administration is ignoring them and moving on productively.

      Thanks for your input. Even without any evidence of what you claim to be true your opinions are always welcome as long as they are respectful of our other visitors.

      Starting a trade war is positive how exactly?

      trump is on a pace to eclipse Obama's executive orders. Is that good?

      How precisely has trump applied the law thus far?

      Time will tell just what the effects of his shoot from the lip and hip methods will be.

      We hope it all turns out well but are betting it won't.

      Les, "peurile malcontents" meaning of course "the duly elected political opposition acting in according with the powers of their office"

      And "moving on productively" meaning one man doing what he wants, moving along at a furious, ermmm Fuhrer-ous pace.

      Kaisfriend has no concept of democracy and rational thought, and seems to think things are better if we roll back civilization to where a king rules all. Or even further to when cave man with biggest club is the most awesomest.

      I am not familiar with Kaisfriend, this being his first time here. I suspect he would have been a brown shirt in a bygone era in a different country. But, as I am not familiar with him don't want to prematurely or too harshly judge. judge.

      Good point, Les. I should not assume that Kaiser is TOM/Luke/Fake-Sue's 87th sock puppet.

    "Mikhail Gorbachev: ‘It All Looks as if the World Is Preparing for War’"

    I'm not giving a lot of credence to Gorby at this point. Like Putin and Will Hart, he supports the right of the new Russian empire to pillage and rape and plunder Ukraine at will.

      In my mind two distinct issues. I agree with your point relative to the Ukraine. However, it's not our "sphere of influence". But speaking out is fine.

    Kaisfriend complains of 'obstructionists'. True, we have seen that in
    spades for 8 years of the former administration. Legitimate concern about
    a flood of executive orders in the first week of the circus administration pales in comparison. We ponder that 'puerile malcontents' probably did not take VN deferments, fail to pay their taxes or run around grabbing ass like a 'penile maladministrator'.

      All good points BB Idaho. We'll have to wait and see if Kaisfriend returns to expound further on his comment.

      He will, under the name of TOM.

Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...

When and How Will it End?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required,  you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic. This is a blatant abuse of taxpayer money, and it is indicative of the future course our nation has embarked upon under the fuzzy, misguided, and incredibly deceitful anti leade...
