Sabbatical Continued

 Greetings comrades! It has been four years!


I have, I am, and I will remain on sabbatical. But lets call it what it is: retirement. I have plenty to say, but we know those days are over. You have plenty to say too, but comments are off for the same reason. We've all had way too much to think, and this is the new United States. Or as the other Karl would call it: The Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

Were those four years of Trump amazing or what!? The man set a new standard for honor, integrity, fighting for and getting results. I was, as you were, hoping for just four more years of peace and prosperity before the nation was crushed under the weight of envy, resentment and the pursuit of free stuff, but alas, it wasn't to be.

Don't fall for the noise that says Trump failed, or Pence for that matter. Don't let them cloud the issues,  minimize our great men or values. They want us fighting each other for breadcrumbs. The law failed us - at the state level with the election, and our supreme court when it ignored the evidence brought to it by 14 states. That third branch of government is no more. It is dead to me, and to you. The commies can stack the court or disband it - makes no difference. And having lost that third branch, our Constitutional Republic is now... something else.

Trump promised to drain the swamp, but the swamp could not be drained. If a powerfully moral and driven man like Trump couldn't do it, nobody will. Which means, if the swamp ever does get drained, it will be after a bottom-up process rather than from the top-down. My sincere thanks to President Trump for trying the less-messy of the two options. Only a principled and bold man would have even tried.

President Trump flew too close to the swamp and it grabbed him and pulled him in. But, along the way, from day #1, he grabbed its pussy. The swamp used to live in the shadows. Now 75 million Americans are aware of it. And, they are really pissed off about their votes being stolen. How will that anger express itself in the coming months and years? It should be interesting.


Predictions:

Trump accomplishments that Biden* will fail to continue:

  1. Peace. Trump's economic warfare was a paradigm shift that delivered results but not bombs. China was on its knees, Iran and North Korea were all but silent, and a few countries now recognize Israel. Biden*, et al, are incapable of imitating that brilliant statesmanship and will start dropping bombs in 3, 2, 1...
  2. Prosperity. Where Trump gave us record growth, Biden* will give us focus-group-tested excuses and tell us a return to prosperity is 'just around the corner.'  How do I know this? Because this is what every commie dictator does. If you're not prepared for bad times, you're behind the curve.


Trump failures that Biden* will continue:

  1. Fiscal policy. Trump continued Obama's government spending habits, and Biden* will continue expanding the debt ad infinitum. What will it look like when they've gone too far? Are you ready? Biden's spending priorities will be to bail out California, Illinois and other failed states, and to prop up union pension funds. You're golden if you fall into one or both of those categories. If not, you're on your own kulak.
  2. AGs. As much as Trump was for the rule of law, he was incapable of hiring competent attorney generals. America will continue to suffer from failed AGs, albeit on purpose under Biden*. 

Other predictions:

  1. Coup #2. Biden* lasts <1 year. He is pushed out when they can't contain the bad news from their early policies. "A fresh start" is what they will tell us.
  2. Foreign troops on US soil. Many of our troops will fail their political loyalty tests, and the US will have to - temporarily - invite Chinese peacekeepers to help contain the domestic terrorists. (I'm not joking. This is my serious face.) Call it a "partnership" between the world's two superpowers. A partnership that includes "sharing technologies, intelligence and goodwill."
  3. Lies. So many, don't even try to keep track. Here is one I hope you don't see, but it is best to put this on the record: Karl Ushanka committed suicide. That one will be total bullshit.
  4. Sabotage. Poor economic results will be blamed on anti-admin unknowns within the work force. Stalin called them wreckers and internal enemies. Some of this will be true. Most will be the result of D economic policies and will be no fault of the workers. All, however, will be suspect and help accountable in appropriate show trials.
  5. Cancelled. Expect this blog and my book to be disappeared, sooner rather than later.
  6. Negative Interest Rates. This will be presented as "a temporary measure" and "for the greater good."

 

 

I've had a chance to reflect on my activism over these past years. Here are some top picks:

  1. NeverTrump. I'm glad I saw the NeverTrump movement for what it was, as early as I did. These are the traitors of the Right, and they did more damage to the country than the Democrats could ever claim.
  2. Q. I thank God I never followed Q. It looked stupid, smelled awful, and sounded dumb. Biden* is proof that it was all of the above. There was, and there will be, enough stories of freedom being destroyed that we won't have to go looking for more.
  3. The hat. I recognized the Democrats' communist inspirations back in 2006 when I started blogging, and in 2008 when I started selling the Commie Obama hat (later called Glorious Hat). Fuck'in legend.
  4. The book. Trade the Ratio is on its second edition. I have followed my own advice in that book, with pleasant success so far...  And yes, I am mulling a third edition with the unofficial title: I Told You So. Here is a prescient quote from page 69:

"We all know precious metal values are linked to the US Dollar and international stability. But these predictions above show that the true link is to the US political environment, as those in power can control, or at least influence, those two factors. Another lesson-learned (and the most valuable advice in this book): the next time you see the nation shift left prior to a presidential election, adjust your portfolio to accommodate more precious metals. Individual results will not vary."
Last, we have lost two patriots since I stopped blogging. Join me in promising to never forget.

  1. Ol Remus (cancer)
  2. Ashlii Babbitt (government)

 

Comrades, I wish you well in the coming days.

If you want to chat, swing by Buckman's Tavern. Approach the thirsty guy in the furry hat with the correct challenge/response:

You: In Concord, April's a spring month.
Me: Whereas in Lexington we're freezing our butts off.


Karl


UPDATED 2.4.21: Added prediction #6, negative interest rates.

Friday

Some of us can't wait for Friday...


Some of us can...


Which makes me wonder...

What will the BitterCruzingers and #NeverTrumpers be doing on Inauguration Day?


UPDATED 1.16.17 9pm:

Drudge just linked to this WP story.

The #NeverTrumpers think they've been "blacklisted" because they said "Trump Sucks!" during the primaries.  It's all about them.  Again.

The quickest way to Make America Great Again is for the #NeverTrumpers to sit this one out.

If they couldn't see Trump's appeal a year ago, what good would they be to us now in positions of responsibility?  Apparently, I'm not the only one asking this.

UPDATED 1.17.17 9pm:

A FB Comrade linked to the same story, but over at The Daily Caller.  Here are some of the comments on his post. "Like-minded" is an understatement!
The Never Trump Republicans are traitors and scumbags. These losers deserve to be spit on and rudely insulted, certainly not given a job in the Trump adminstration. The Trump people are very wise for not letting these slimy snakes to get a foot in the door! #MAGA

good there are every day american people that support trump that would like job

Draining the swamp!!

[Karl] They didn't promote their guy. They just told me how stupid I was for liking my guy. With judgement like that, what good would they be in the Trump administration?

Good, maybe these rent-seekers can find work doing something useful for a change.

Look, I understand BOTH sides of this one, but one thing truly stands out: Why in God's name would you expect to get a plum job working for a guy who you strenuously opposed just 2-3 short months ago?  How in the hell does that work?

They expect to be rewarded for their bad behavior????????

What do they expect? Obviously they were gullible enough to buy into the fake-stream media's distortions and so convinced as to speak out against MNr. Trumpo. I think that puts their judgement and objectivity in question big time.

They are the worst sort of scum and the least trustworthy. Worse than Liberals... since they are only just crazy

Actions have consequences. The turncoat Republicans end up in the same sinking ship as the Democrats.

The truth is that they are all "consultants". They earn big bucks doing nothing at all. The establishment parties paid them cause it's back scratching. But that's all over, the swamp will slowly drain out and these parasites will be exposed and removed.

What A Year

The story of 2016 will be told in many ways.  Here is one, from the magazine perspective.

In January, a once respected conservative publication chose a suicidal path by proclaiming #NeverTrump as its political position.  The entire National Review Online (NRO) editorial team came out for against one of the 17 Republican candidates for President. 
January 21 NRO: Conservatives Against Trump
What the NRO editors stood for, we don't know.  But they sure didn't like Donald J. Trump, nor did they take a moment to consider the reasons behind Trump's popularity or how it would look if he won the nomination.


Today a dying, and once respected magazine, Time, named President-Elect Donald J. Trump as their Person of the Year.  True to character, Time couldn't restrain their liberal bias, as GP reports:
It took TIME three paragraphs to accuse Trump of racism.
It took TIME four paragraphs to compare him to Joe McCarthy.

When one thinks of Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again," one may think of a world where both National Review Online and Time no longer exist.

What a year.

Those NRO Editors:
David Boaz
L. Brent Bozell III
Mona Charen
Ben Domenech
Steven F. Hayward
Mark Helprin
William Kristol
Yuval Levin
Andrew C. McCarthy
David McIntosh
Michael Medved
Edwin Meese III
Russell Moore
Michael B. Mukase
Katie Pavlic
R. R. Reno

#NeverTrump Memory Lane

These recent #NeverTrump items inspired this trip down Memory Lane:
GP:  Here’s THE LIST of Mitt Romney’s VICIOUS Attacks on Trump

Breitbart:  Beware: Meet Top 6 #NeverTrump GOP Insiders
An awkward dinner with The Man last night:

Let's look at some of the most egregious #NeverTrump efforts from this past year.  The comments became so unhinged and unprofessional that I kept screenshots.  Here are about 20% of them. 
February:


March:


April:






May:







July:
October:




November:



Here are the BitterCruzinger and #NeverTrump lists.  I've added six more from the Breitbart post above.


Diann Russell (Patriot Retort)
Doug Ross (DirectorBlue)
John Hawkins (RightWingNews)
Dave Blout (MoonBattery)
Michael Reagan
Eunie Smith (Eagle Forum)
Anne Cori (Eagle Forum)
Cathie Adams (Eagle Forum)
Rosina Kovar (Eagle Forum)
Shirley Curry (Eagle Forum)
Carolyn McLarty (Eagle Forum)
John Podhoretz (Commentary Magazine)
William Jacobsen (Legal Insurrection)
Steve Berman (The Resurgent)
Ben Howe (RedState)
Ted Cruz (TX)
John Kasich (OH)
Jeb Bush
Former Sen. Gordon Humphrey, NH
Former Rep. Chris Shays, CT
Former Rep. Tom Coleman, MO
Former Rep. Vin Weber, MN 
Mindy Finn (former RNC chief digital strategist) 
Christine Iverson Gunderson (former RNC press secretary) 
Virginia Hume Onufer (former RNC deputy press secretary) 
Beth Miller (former RNC field communications division director) 
Heather Layman (former deputy press secretary) 
B. Jay Cooper (former RNC communications director under four chairmen)  
Patrick Ruffini (former RNC ecampaign director). 
Terresa Monroe-Hamilton (NoisyRoom)
Fawkes News (SondraK)

Why do I keep posting this list?
1) While most of these people are conservatives who share my values, many behaved like liberals by telling me what was wrong with my candidate rather than tell me what was good about theirs.  Shameful behavior.
2) Many of these people consider themselves 'thought leaders' in conservative circles, yet they either missed the Trump Phenomenon and the anger that fueled it, or they chose to counter it for personal gain.  Many still claim a more enlightened perspective, but I've stopped listening to their ideas and predictions.  If they couldn't see the Trump Phenomenon, what good are they?
3) Some have jumped onto the Trump Train after their attempt to stifle or sabotage it.  Of these, some have suffered a reduction in listeners/readers and thus ad revenue.  The others are suffering in the polls for an upcoming race or have some other career reason to show support now.  In both cases, personal gain was the reason for going #NeverTrump, and personal gain is the reason some of them now support Trump.
4) #NeverTrumpers are Republicans who chose to not support the Party's nominee.  Since I could vote I have always supported the nominee.  I was always loyal. I assumed my fellow Republicans shared this loyalty.  Are the #NeverTrumpers telling me I don't have to be loyal anymore?

5) The #NeverTrumpers were quick to call me "stupid" or a "low information voter." I've learned with liberals that these labels are the signal that I've won.  #NeverTrumpers aren't any different than liberals.  The Internet is forever, and Ushanka never forgets.

UPDATED 7.13.17:

The first post-election #NeverTrump addition to the list goes to PJ Media for their unprofessional representation of the Russian lawyer nothingburger.  While the details are still debated, it is fact that even if all the accusations were true there would still be no actual law broken.  If someone requests a meeting with Candidate A with an offer of information bad for Candidate B, Candidate A may take the meeting.  Idiots.

Post-Election: The Left Reacts

The commies among us are none too happy.  They took to the streets to protest Tuesday's democracy smack-down.

But let's keep perspective here.  Comrade Mikhail and I were at a cigar lounge on Wednesday enjoying our second cigars of the day. 
Mikhail: "Why, and what exactly, are they protesting?"

Karl: "They'd be in the streets either way.  If Hillary won, they'd be out celebrating in the streets.  Instead they are out protesting in the streets.  Just like us: if we had lost we'd be in here smoking cigars and bitching, and because we won we're in here smoking cigars and celebrating."
Mikhail:  "Did you notice the cigars taste better now?

Karl:  "Yes I did notice."
Comrade and author, Ann Sterzinger, recently turned me onto YouTuber, Sargon of Akkad.  He posted a video today that offers a great feedback-loop to a few of the commie thought leaders of the Left - Ana Kasparian, Laci Green, Anita Sarkeesian and Cenk. 136k views in less than one day!  It is better than the other videos poking fun, but like all things post-election, it has some profanity.  21 minutes - listen as you scroll down to look at the items I collected today.




Someone is happy!


The only thing this guy is right about is that the one common trait between Hitler and Trump is that they were both elected.


Comrade Stilton for the win!


Hypocrisy is the Democrat Party's middle name.




They didn't get their 100-year reunion (October Revolution, 1917), but they haven't given up.


I find that I tune out too.


Kudos to this guy at the Dallas lefty protest.  GP has the story.


WRSA pointed us to Z Blog for his post-election post:
Now, I look forward to the Triumph. In January, Donald Trump will enter the Imperial Capital in a four horse chariot, wearing a laurel crown and painted toga. Behind him, in chains and rags, will be the members of NeverTrump. The great enemy of the people and the threat to the republic, Hillary Clinton, will be displayed in a wheeled cage so the citizens can throw rotten vegetables at her. After the festivals, the proscription lists will be posted around the city and the NeverTrump loons will be thrown into a pit.

Yes, victory feels good.
