China, Boeing, Corruption, and Drugs.
Nobody Cares
I guess I should watch more of my local news…I just found out today why a local business closed from a woman who must watch the news.
As you know, I write a lot about the destruction of the middle class here in St. Louis. So many malls closed: Ford…gone to Mexico. Chrysler plant…gone, Anheuser Busch sold to an international company. The ripple down effect has been devastating…and so it’s no wonder Trump is leading…if the rest of the country looks like St. Louis, then it will TAKE a businessman to stop the bleeding.
The one place we still have here is Boeing, which was once three times as big, and if you pass the place, it looks like a bomb hit it. The outside fountains have not been redone since the 1950’s. I’m sure those fountains hold a lot of summer fun for rats.
Right across the street from Boeing was a Chinese restaurant, which was sold to another Chinese man who sold big, humongous, outdoor stone statues. You know, like fountains, pagodas’, swans, dragons…..some of them were really beautiful, but most of the people in the area could not afford them. And there were HUNDREDS of these statues. I couldn’t understand how they could stay in business because the statues stood there for years., and years.
I was told, they got busted. They didn’t HAVE to sell those statues. They were moving drugs from China to St. Louis inside them…which explains the high rate of heroin addiction in St. Louis.
Evidently this went on for decades. Right across the street was Boeing Headquarters, and the Ford plant (Now gone)….The police department was right down the street.
TELL me they didn’t know about this. And besides, a Chinese business right across the street from Boeing? No red flags there? They stayed there throughout George W. Bush’s presidency, and were only closed down about a year ago.
The nearest mall by this business is almost closed down too, because I just learned, most of the shops in that mall were illegals from foreign countries, who were no doubt, were not paying ANY taxes. Some of the more reputable companies in that mall must have sued somebody, because there was a big raid, and all of THEM were busted and had to close shop. This big, huge mall, built with the loving promise that they wouldn’t have to pay taxes for 10 years, is now, a ghost town save a few vitamins stores, and a Bed, Bath and Beyond.
And so goes our country.
Does anybody care? Does Jeb Bush? Does Hillary Clinton?
No, but Nobody does. And that’s why people like me, like Trump. We have LIVED and watched the economic destruction done by the politicians of both parties. We have seen the drug use in our schools. We have witnessed the redistribution of wealth from the whites to the blacks, with nothing to show for it.
We ARE angry.
By the way, Glenn Beck has banned Trump from his radio show…but I bet Hillary isn’t banned.
If Donald Trump is as bad as Glenn says, he will bury himself. It’s stupid move on Glenn’s part. But Glenn has his own ego as this moves proves.
BANNING him shows the fact that Glenn does NOT practice what he preaches: Liberty. Justice. Fair place. Democracy.
Go figure.

Nobody Remembers the Power Grabs of Abraham Lincoln
Nobody Remembers
Abraham Lincoln….THE President almost every school kid in America was told, freed the slaves. But..was there an easier way to do it? Did we HAVE to have that horrible Civil War? 
According to Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Abe was no saint. He had this to say in his book The Constitution in Exile
“The bloodiest war in American history could have been avoided. But, with very little regard for honesty, Lincoln increased federal power and assaulted the Constitution. His actions were unconstitutional and he knew it. By barring the Southern states the right to secede Lincoln preserved the geographical Union but tore apart the Constitution. “
Yes, states have a RIGHT by our constitution to secede, but Abe refused to let them, and it wasn’t about slavery at all…it was about expanding federal power over the states, and building an empire.
Judge Napolitano…points out that history has gotten Abe all wrong. He mentioned Lincoln’s Confiscation Acts which Lincoln used to free the slaves.
The act provided that slaves would be transported to countries in the tropics. The freed slaves were not to be housed in the North. and if the Slave owner said he would be loyal to the UNION, he could keep his slave.
The truth is, Lincoln was supporting the political philosophy of Henry Clay, who was the leader of the Whigs.
“For forty years, Clay supported the creation of an American empire through measures such as corporate welfare (which political liked to call ‘internal improvements.” today we call them corporate tax breaks, protectionist tariffs, and a nationwide central bank. All of the things that Clay favored in essence provided for a highly centralized government. And Lincoln supported them all. “
When Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, most Northerners were surprised because the government had never previously said that the reason for the war was to liberate black slaves in the South.
And according to the Judge, Lincoln could have saved over 650,000 lives if he would have let the South leave the union. The Judge thinks, slavery would have died..like it did in England. England had freed its slave without violent conflict about twenty years earlier. Other countries too did it peacefully: Dutch (1863,) Puerto Rico (1873,) Brazil (1871-88,) and Cuba (1886) So WHY was our Civil war so bloody?
Lincoln was more concerned about the failure of states to collect tariffs than he was about slavery. Lincoln murdered civilians, declared martial law, suspended Habeas Corpus, seized vast amounts of private property without compensation (including railroads and telegraphs, and conducted a war without the consent of Congress,
“imprisoning nearly thirty thousand Northern citizens without trial shutting down several newspapers, and even deporting a congressman because he objected to the imposition of an income tax.”
In Maryland alone, Lincolns’ troops arrested and imprisoned without trail a mayor, a congressman, and thirty one state legislators.
He expanded the army and navy and used federal money to purchase arms and ammunition. without the consent of Congress. Only Congress can declare war, Lincoln said he was “suppressing a rebellion.”
According to the Judge, Lincoln behaved like a tyrant. And his general Sherman did too.
Sherman burned an entire town in Tennessee. Observers noted that “small Union units under his command expelled families from river towns and killed others who refused to be evacuated. Sherman’s march to the sea was nothing but a murderous rampage.
And we have Lincoln to thank for the income tax. He also increased taxes on just about everything. He established National Banks across the nation.
“My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it. and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it: And if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.”
The Judge puts a new light on Spielberg’s excellent movie called Lincoln, which made Lincoln out to be a saint…which goes to show you, it’s all how you look at it.
I’m not sure what to think about the Judge’s harsh opinion about Abraham Lincoln, but there is one thing that he is absolutely right on: Lincoln became a dictator.
War…seems to bring that out in all leaders.
God only knows what Obama will do to Americans should we be attacked.
Something tells me he will make Lincoln look like a saint….that history has always reported he was.
