Obama, Trump and Ignorance

Obama Commencement Speech to Rutgers

President Obama told the Rutgers graduates that "ignorance is not a virtue", which was directed at Donald Trump.  Obama was implying that Donald Trump is ignorant, mostly because he is a republican running to succeed Obama in the White House, and because he disagrees with many positions taken by the candidate.

Taking a position different from a candidate is perfectly legitimate and President Obama has his own opinions.  But to lecture people on anti-intellectualism is quite dishonest as Obama applied the test.

The president has taken many positions which have been proven incorrect over time, such as:

• Giving hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies to green energy companies such as  Solyndra
• Attempting to validate the nearly $1T stimulus package as actually helping turn the economy around
• Shovel ready jobs which were not so shovel ready, and laughing about it
• Monthly overestimating jobs created, leading to restating actual jobs a month later
• Telling Americans they can keep their doctor and their insurance plan if they like it
• The climate change science is a settled matter
• Sending administration officials to the funeral of Michael Brown, who we later learned actually assaulted the police officer who shot back in self-defense
• Calling Cambridge, MA. police stupid for arresting a man without identification breaking into a home
• Campaigning in all 57 states
• Claiming ISIS is the JV team, yet unable to defeat them, while claiming we are defeating them
• Not understanding basic math by spending trillions more then the government collects in taxes, doubling the national debt
• Accepting tens of thousands of Muslim refugees from Syria despite the inability to adequately screen out the terrorists among them 
• Unconstitutionally changing laws passed by congress, and losing cases in the Supreme Court for doing so

So I ask, who is being intellectually dishonest?

Joe to Replace Hillary - How This Will Work

How Joe Biden Gets Democrat Nomination

A while ago I wrote the above blog entry, predicting Joe Biden will be the actual democrat nominee for President of the United States.  Some have asked me to explain how that could come to be.  Here is the language of the democrat party that will allow for this.

Democrat National Committee By-Laws

Article 3., Section 1. c. reads:

The Democratic National Committee shall have general responsibility for the affairs of the Democratic Party between National Conventions, subject to the provisions of this Charter and to the resolutions or other actions of the National Convention. This responsibility shall include:
c.  filling vacancies in the nominations for the office of President and Vice President;

So, once Hillary Clinton is nominated at the convention and the convention closes, the committee can step in.  Following an indictment of Mrs. Clinton for her mishandling of top secret email messages, a violation of law, she will have no choice but to step down as the nominee.  Then the committee can nominate any person of their choosing.

The committee will nominate Vice-President Joe Biden and President Obama will pardon Mrs. Clinton to spare the country the ordeal of a trial, just as Ford pardoned Nixon.

Illegal Immigration on the Rise

KRGV News: Consistent Surge of People Crossing Illegally

If you do not see illegal immigration in large numbers as a problem, you are not in favor of the United States of America continuing to exist as we know it.  Maybe that is by design.  Maybe It is a case of indifference.  Either way, it is dangerous.

Some politicians want you to think this is normal, or acceptable, or not real.  Some even think is it a good thing that is necessary.  Most are simply misguided or have ulterior motives.

Legal immigration can be good if laws are created to meet the needs of America and Americans.  But illegal immigration is not only wrong, but a violation of laws.

Building a wall may or may not be a solution, but something needs to be done.
