Mueller Investigation is Over: What's Next

      The Mueller investigation into collusion by President Trump during the 2016 presidential election with the Russians is finally over after almost 2 years.  Obstruction of justice in the firing of FBI  Director Comes was really never as serious an issue as the MSM made out as the President has the right to hire and fire anyone within the executive branch of government for any or no reason at all. There is little to show for it as far as President Trump is concerned.   Mueller said that no future indictments by him are forthcoming. We did learn that the Russians did play a part by buying space on social media for both candidates and tried to divide the American people by organizing demonstrations for both sides, even at the same time. A number of Russians were indicted, but they will never set foot in an American courtroom.
     Several people very close to the president were indicted in an attempt to gain leverage for charges against the President, but no one could say anything to save himself that could be verified from other sources.  Both Michael Cohen, President Trump's personal attorney, and Paul Manafort, a campaign manager during the election campaign, were indicted and convicted or pled guilty to numerous charges, non related to Russia collusion and will spend time in prison.  Process crimes were claimed for George Papodoupolus and Gen. Michael Flynn for leverage purposes, and very short sentences of 14 days was meted out to the former.  Flynn who apparently cooperated with Mueller's investigation is still awaiting sentencing for lying to the FBI.
     Some material was turned over to very liberal, anti Trump, prosecutors for the Southern District of New York and it  may still do some investigating into other campaign irregularities, but similar violations by other candidates in previous elections have either been dropped, ignored, or treated with a fine.
      For two years, the MSM continued to talk about Russia, until recently as it was quickly becoming apparent that no collusion or obstruction existed and now that Mueller's investigation is complete and no high crimes and misdemeanors by our President have been found.  Nothing to impeach him has been found to exist so they ware weeping like little babies as they did on election night when it became obvious that Donald Trump had defeated Hillary Clinton and was to become our next POTUS.  CNN has patted themselves on the back for their biased and fake coverage.  CNN is becoming more and more significant as a news source everyday.
      So what's next.  Both Adam Shiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and  Jerry Nadler, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, want to carry out their own investigations.  Nadler has already sent out 81 subpoenas and Shiff wants to subpoena Mueller himself, claiming that Mueller is hiding evidence.  Shiff has been stating for the past two years that he has evidence of collusion, but has yet to produce one shred.  Now his removal as head of the Intelligence Committee has become an issue as he has lied continuously to the American public. Most Americans will look at this in a very negative way in the wake of Mueller investigation, knowing that these two are wasting time and money and it is time to move on and do something productive for the people of the United States, who they are supposed to represent.  Those far left crackpots like Maxine Waters and her ilk, who have been screaming to impeach the president, even look more like crazy people shouting at the moon. Speaker Pelosi should rein them in, if she can, as they will only be perceived as a negative come the 2020 elections, especially by moderates and independents.
      On other factor may comes into play.  The Mueller investigation has managed to divert and delay what may be the real crimes of the 2016 election campaign, namely those committed by the Clinton Campaign, Clinton Foundation, and high ranking Justice, FBI, and official in the Obama Administration, including President Obama himself.  The Steele Dossier has served as the basis for this investigation and despite it not being verifiable was used in obtaining FISA warrants to wiretap and unmask American citizens at an alarming rate.  A number of high ranking members of the FBI have already been singled outs as potential targets for indictments and this could extend to the DOJ,   some Obama administration officials, and even Obama himself.  The plot  to overthrow a sitting American President may have serious consequences, as this is certainly considered treason. It is up to the newly appointed Attorney General William Barr on whether to proceed, possibly appointing a new special consul to look into this can of worms.
      In the end, President was correct.  His campaign was indeed spied upon by the Obama administration.

Stop the Nonsense

      I thought that I could stop writing about anthropogenic global warming and climate change, but  a sense of urgency due to the coming of a prolonged cold spell is driving the left to make ridiculous claims and demand destructive solutions to a nonexistent problem.  False information is being driven by far left politicians seeking  money and power, but also by unethical scientists seeking more research money and willing to cook the books so to speak. A policy of confusion is being used to force fake science on the public, and to a certain extent, it is succeeding.  Some are teaching this lie to our children in the name of science and documentaries I see on TV often mention it in passing.

      When discussing climate change, the left conveniently leaves out the word anthropogenic implying that all climate change is due to Man and that deniers of anthropogenic climate change are deniers of climate change in general.  In reality, climate change is a naturally occurring phenomenon that has been going on for millions of years and, unless you skipped your fourth grade science class, due to the Earth's relationship with the Sun and solar activity.  Things haven't changed.  As early as the 19th century, during the beginning of the industrial revolution, some scientists predicted that industrialization may have a very slight effect on the climate, but it wasn't until 1956 that a Nazi named Gunther Schwab predicted apocalyptic anthropogenic global warming was going to destroy the Earth within 50 years in his fictional novel Dance With the Devil.  The book was written as an attack on capitalism and America, as he blamed both for the defeat and suicide of his beloved Hitler.   By the early 1960s the book had gained enough popularity that anti Americans had decided that it could be used as fact rather than fiction, ignoring the chapter on Nazi like eugenics. This included the UN and a double dealing Canadian at the UN named Maurice Strong.  Strong who ironically had made his billions in Canadian oil, gas, and coal, organized the first Rio Conference and continued to push anthropogenic global warming via the UN as its driving force.  Eventually, he found the perfect person to spread these lies to Americans, namely Al Gore.  The two have partnered on several projects included the now failed Chicago Carbon Exchange.  Strong's veracity came under attack when it was discovered he accepted a $997K  bribe from Saddam Hussein during the oil for food program imposed by the first Bush Presidency and continued under Clinton.  Strong had been on the short list to become Secretary General of the UN, but instead he was banished to the Peace University in Costa Rica to stay out of the limelight.  Now he lives in the most polluted city in the world, Beijing, as an environmental advisor to the Chnese government,  claims to be a communist, and partners up in deals with George Soros and Al Gore to destroy the American economy. 

      I don't think Gore wants to destroy America, but I think he is a willing dupe in the conspiracy, especially since it has made him very rich and rescued him from obscurity.  In his case, it is pure greed.  His 97% consensus  of all scientists was found to be based on a questionnaire sent out by grad students to selected scientists, and only those returned were counted.  Much of the data determined by models and some climate scientists  like that at East Anglia University was found to be faked and more and more important climate scientists are coming out against anthropogenic global warming.  That is why its proponents and leftists keep moving the goal posts back.  Their apocalyptic predictions just don't seem to happen.  More responsible scientists predict only very moderate ocean rises in the next 50 years. Now we are told we have 12 years left to save the planet according to New York socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocosio-Cortez  She has introduced a Green New Deal in which all we have to do is kill all the cows, stop driving cars and trucks using fossil fuels, give up air and sea travel, and even stop having children as some radicals in England have recommended.  After all, who wants to bring children into the world to pollute the world,  contribute to the problem, and who are going to die in 12 years anyway.  Communist Mayor of New York City, De Blasio has recommended that we start by instituting meatless Mondays to get used to doing without in order to save the planet.  The $900 million his wife can't seem to find might be a reason he wants us to do without. We have just experienced a horrific event in New Zealand by a radical from a group with admiration for Communist China and belief that immigrants contribute to global warming, so it was necessary to murder 49 of them.  

      If what I have said so far has not convinced you that anthropogenic global warming is a hoax please read an article published on climatedepot.com on October 28, 2016 by Marc Morano, summarizing the argument against anthropogenic global warming and multiple books and articles by scientists who not only debunk the myth of anthropogenic global warming, but predict the coming of a mini ice age.  

Bribery vs Affirmative Action

       The MSM has been abuzz over the lastest college admissions scandal.  Some are calling it another example of white privilege totally gone awry.  It seems that wealthy parents using a phony charity as a cover have been paying loads of cash to get their mostly undeserving children into prestigious schools that they otherwise probably would have been denied admission.  In some cases very bright students would be paid to take SAT and/or ACT college entrance examinations, assuring a high score, worthy of admission.  Some were done through outright bribes to college admissions officers or to athletic coaches to request that a student be admitted to play on a college team. Photoshopped pictures of the head of a student involved  placed on that of someone playing the sport and on an athletic body were sometimes included.  In most instance that child never even played the sport.  The money was funneled through a phony charity set up by Richard Singer to at least give parents a tax write off.  Over all about $25 million was paid into this scheme.
      The FBI in operation "Varsity Blue" uncovered the scheme and has indicted more than 50 individuals  on a variety of chargers including money laundering and tax evasion.  Since wealthy parents were involved who were mostly white, the MSM has looked at this a white privilege gone completely off the deep end.  Think of it, children being admitted to prestigious colleges for which they probably would not be admitted otherwise. Even several Hollywood liberal actresses have been indicted. These cheaters have taken the places of other applicants who are more qualified according to admission standards to matriculate at these universities.  Law suits by students denied admission have started to pop up.
      But colleges have always admitted students who did not meet the academic standards meant for their average admission..  The student athlete is a good example.  At least these students may earn large sums of money for the university totaling in the millions of dollars.  Although grading scandals occasionally arise, most universities have a means to make students eligible with mandatory study halls, tutoring, and class attendance monitoring as the student athlete can't earn tons of monet for the university, if he is academically ineligible.  The money the University receives from ticket sales, bowl games, and happy alumni is used for scholarships and other school projects.  Legacy students may also see standards eased a bit, especially if their parent or grandparent are regular donors, the more donated the better the chance of securing admission.
      There are other ways to cheat.  President Obama was able to transfer to Columbia University from Occidental even though he had a B- average,  using his Indonesian passport to secure admission and access to scholarship money as a foreign student.
      The most glaring example of the bending of admission standards is affirmative action. Liberals have decided that even though their efforts at improving education for minorities has failed, it just doesn't matter.  Bussing to integrate mostly segregated schools failed, because it not only wasted money that could have been used for books, supplies, teachers' salaries on bussing itself, but de facto segregation within the school house occurred, as newly arriving minority students needed to be placed in classes in which they could compete.  In most cases, their previous education had failed to keep pace with those of whiter students so they were behind through no fault of their own.  Although some bright and determined students could be move into normal classes as their education progressed many could not catch up and so forced bussing is considered a failure.  Affirmative action at all levels placed students who were less qualified ahead of those that would otherwise be admitted.  The United States Supreme Court in 5-4 decisions has sided with affirmative action, though a limit on for how many years it should go on was discussed.  Realistically though, why should skin color be a better indicator for admission than money.  After all money allows the University to build better dorms and classrooms and hire top professors.
      Now I'm not saying that bribing ones way into a university is the equivalent of affirmative action, far from it as the former is illegal and those involved should be and are being prosecuted.  Besides the obvious that has already been mention, all minority students are tagged as affirmative action whether they are or not. It also demonstrates that the liberal approach to education has been a failure.
