THIS HITLER NONSENSE … – Regie's Blog

THIS HITLER NONSENSE … – Regie's Blog
"...The thing my father and I have often discussed, through the years, is the eye-rolling art of comparing American presidents to Hitler. 
It is such an absurdity we find it amusing …and frustrating.
It’s often just a punch line.
Like the Soup Nazi wasn’t really a Nazi.
He was just mean.
The Nazi part made it funny. You know …over-the-top. Like “grammar Nazi” or “spelling Nazi.” Nobody is really a “Nazi.”
It’s our representation of something we consider jarring, strident, intractable and inhumane.
But the truth about Nazis isn’t funny at all. 
It’s bloody and horrible and gut churning. 
And it involves machine guns and butchery and inhumanity on a scale that takes your breath away.
...The idea of comparing an American president to Hitler is just as absurd …from any angle, in any context.
The American system ITSELF pretty much prevents “Hitlers” from showing up.
And America ITSELF is anathema to what Hitler was trying to create..."

Clinton Allies Paid Firm $700K For Women Who'd Accuse Trump Of Sexual Misconduct Week Before Election | Daily Wire

Clinton Allies Paid Firm $700K For Women Who'd Accuse Trump Of Sexual Misconduct Week Before Election | Daily Wire:

"Bloom "seized on the political potency of sexual harassment charges against Mr. Trump not long after he clinched the Republican presidential nomination," reports the Times. The attorney admits to reaching out to Clinton super PACs "for money to help her vet a sexual misconduct claim against Mr. Trump."

A group founded by Brock, American Bridge 21st Century Foundation, "secretly spent $200,000 on an unsuccessful effort to bring forward accusations of sexual misconduct against Mr. Trump before Election Day," individuals "familiar with the arrangements" told the Times."

"Here’s to a 2018 where markets are rising, terror is falling, spaceships are flying, Korea is quiet and sanity returns.
Hey, it could happen!
In my last column, I speculated about things that might go wrong in 2018, ranging from a hacker-inspired collapse of the power grid to a bitcoin depression.
I hope I’m wrong about all of it.
But in keeping with the optimistic spirit of the New Year, here are some things that might go right in 2018. 
Let’s hope that I’m not wrong about these.

Trump: Iranians 'finally getting wise' on their money 'squandered on terrorism' - Washington Times

Trump: Iranians 'finally getting wise' on their money 'squandered on terrorism' - Washington Times:

"President Trump said Sunday the United States is keeping an eye out for human rights violations during the deadly Iranian protests, which have entered their fourth day.

At least two people reportedly have died so far, and Iranian officials have warned anti-government protesters will “pay the price.”

“Big protests in Iran,” the president tweeted Sunday morning."

The one potential Census question that terrifies liberals

The one potential Census question that terrifies liberals
"Liberals, in general, love the Census.  

It's full of questions about race and sex, the common fault lines by which liberals love to divide society.  
They are even adding a question to the next Census to find out your favorite kind of sex, or approximation of it.

But one question liberals don't want to know is whether the person answering the census is an American. 
 They fear that if there is a question about citizenship, that illegal aliens won't fill it out.

The Justice Department is pushing for a question on citizenship to be added to the 2020 census, a move that observers say could depress participation by immigrants who fear that the government could use the information against them.  That, in turn, could have potentially large ripple effects for everything the once-a-decade census determines – from how congressional seats are distributed around the country to where hundreds of billions of federal dollars are spent.

Observers said they feared [that] adding a citizenship question would not only lower response rates, but also make the census more expensive ...

Oh, no!  Liberals, those deficit hawks, are concerned about the cost...of a question...on a form...already filled with questions!  
What will that do to the national debt?

A worthy read!-----Daily Inter Lake - Frank Miele: Editor's 2 Cents, COLUMN: A finger in the dike holding back the fake news

Daily Inter Lake - Frank Miele: Editor's 2 Cents, COLUMN: A finger in the dike holding back the fake news: 
"I took a rare shift as news editor last Saturday, which gave me an unexpected chance to put my finger in the dike holding back the flood of fake news caused by those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
As I was sifting through the Associated Press news report looking for wire stories worth putting into the Sunday paper, one story on the news digest caught my attention right away: “President Donald Trump reacts to reports about the retirement of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe by retweeting falsehoods about McCabe’s wife.”
“Oh no,” I thought. “What has Trump done now?” 
Because even though I am a Trump supporter, I’ve learned that Twitter can be a cause of trouble in the Trump administration as well as a frequent force for good.
But when I looked up the story, I discovered that my worries were unfounded. 
So, unfortunately, was the story.
When I read AP reporter Darlene Superville’s story, it was immediately obvious that she had either misunderstood Trump’s tweet or intentionally lied about it. 
She also plainly didn’t know the meaning of the verb “retweet,” since Trump had tweeted an original statement, not a quoted one.
Getting to the truth will take a bit of context, so here goes:..."

Record cold weather caused by...you guessed it...global warming!: 
"Something that never interferes with the climate change indoctrinators is facts.  
Since we are getting record cold, that is also caused by climate change and global warming, and that is caused by humans, according to these so-called "experts."
From an article that made its way to USA Today:
This week's cold snap has brought record-low temperatures, freezing rain and heavy snow to much of the United States.  But 2017 is still on track to be the second- or third-hottest year ever recorded globally – and scientists say climate change is to blame[.] ...
Even this week's cold weather is probably being caused at least in part by global warming, said Jonathan Overpeck, a climate scientist at the University of Michigan.
These experts just make things up as they go.  
Did any of them predict this?  
I don't believe so, therefore they just change their predictions.  
The computer models haven't predicted any climate or weather events with accuracy, so they just adjust the data...."

"78 years ago, the B-24 Liberator took its first flight — here's how it helped bring down the Nazis...
...To compare a Ford V8 with a four-engine Liberator bomber was like matching a garage with a skyscraper," Sorensen wrote. 
But he formulated a plan to build B-24s that won over Edsel Ford: 
Make them on an assembly line housed in the largest factory in the world, a mile long and a quarter-mile wide, churning out one heavy bomber an hour. 
The plan would lead to the construction of the massive Willow Run plant near Ypsilanti..."

DISGUSTING: Feminists Groups SILENT As Women Protest Real Oppression In Iran | Daily Wire:

"American feminist groups are gearing up for a repeat of last year's "Women's March," but as their sisters take to the streets to protest a truly oppressive, fundamentalist government, seeking true equal rights, American feminist organizations are - disgustingly - silent.

The symbol of the Iranian freedom protests, this time around, is even a woman who threw off her veil in front of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and stood defiantly as freedom fighters massed around her."

EU's east-west schism 'is a bigger worry than Brexit'

EU's east-west schism 'is a bigger worry than Brexit':
     "In March 2017, after three years, the European Commission gave Hungary the go-ahead to expand its Soviet-era nuclear power station at Paks, 75 miles from its capital, Budapest.
The deal with Russia was worth €12.5bn (£11bn), for which the Kremlin offered 100pc of the financing required.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Russian President Vladimir Putin settled the deal in person.
This deal – a tactical defeat in the long-running battle between the EC to make its member states less dependent on Russian energy – is not the “nuclear option” that dominates the headlines.
Instead, eyes have turned to Poland as the schism between the harder-Right governments of central and eastern European nations and western Europe’s more liberally governed France and Germany grows deeper.
Poland’s judicial reform bill threatens the independence of the judiciary, and goes against the principles of separation..."
