CNN"s new star makes living selling public sex

AFTER STORMY DANIELS, TRUMP IMMUNIZATION COMPLETE

CNN AND MEDIA FURTHER DIMINISHED

There comes a time when the piling on of mud can no longer increase the effect on the victim. After 2 1/2 years of mud throwing, the media is now as deep in dirt as their target. Do they really have any more credibility to lose?  It appears that Trump has now been coated with Mudex, any more mud will now just run off without sticking. It seems the mud will just keep running back onto the throwers until they succomb. It may be true that attacks which do not kill you will make you stronger.

It seems the media, bureaucrats and politicians are overcome with hate and some envy of  Donald Trump. He definitely is not like them. Trumps problem with government bureaucrats, the media, and politicians is that being self-employed his entire life he has lived by his wits. He has become self confident in his analysis of people and facts. He has lived and suffered by the decisions he has made. He has prospered in his good decisions and suffered in his poor decisions. He has learned how to judge people, he has learned how to avoid risks, and now in his latter years he is confident in himself. 

This is all contrary to the media, government bureaucrats and politicians, who have lived and prospered by ass-kissing. Their success is less to do with results, less to do real accomplishments than knowing whose ass to kiss and how often. Their lives can be destroyed overnight and their livelihood diminished by not getting this ass-kissing right.

So, they hate Trump, because he has refused to kiss the ass of the media, the John McCain types in Washington and even the FBI and State Department bureaucrats. Besides hate for him, and a nagging bit of envy, they must destroy him because he makes them very uncomfortable with themselves. 

They believed the way to success was only by being a chameleon, by not letting anyone know who they really are, by being all things to all people and the kissing of many asses. They now look in the mirror and don't see a reflection, they have become non persons. While Trump has many flaws, they are the same flaws that the average person can relate to in their own lives.  He is a real person, we seem to know this person like we never know the ass-kissers. He has become our old uncle, while not perfect, we always like him, mostly because we know who he is.

What data collection should we fear?

ANALYTICS, VOTER IDENTIFICATION, DATA MINING

THE REAL THREAT IS GOVERNMENT PROFILING

The media and the democrats are attempting to create hysteria about data collection and voter identification by political campaigns. Especially by the wrong political campaigns. 

Voter identification has been going on for decades. Before the internet, a political campaign or party would do a baseline poll early in the cycle. This would attempt to identify what issues are most important to certain voters. They then would target these voters with mail or communication featuring their identified concern. This was particularly effective in primary campaigns. 

The polling method is now far less effective as many people no longer answer the phone.

The internet is now a treasure trove of information. People willingly lay their life bare to all to see on Facebook and other websites. Their buying preferences are collected by Ebay, Google, Amazon and others. Much of this information is used by their companies themselves but also filtered and sold to whoever will pay for this information.

What political campaigns are looking for is what issues people are concerned about. This is usually collected from adds for candidates, on line opinion polls and also responses to articles and advertisements. It is then used in targeted mailings, emails, and helps in crafting a message to voters. It can be argued that it really increases and enhances the democratic process. The campaign that can best know what truly concerns the voters is in a advantageous position.

I would assume that any advertisements or articles that were placed on the internet by the Russians were an attempt to gauge public opinion. I would assume that many foreign countries do this to see what Americans are thinking. I also assume the United States is doing the same thing were it can.

The real concern of Americans is the connection between these internet companies and National Security agency (NSA). I watched on national TV as James Clapper the then head of the NSA denied several times while under oath that his agency collects information on American citizens. It was then revealed by the disclosures of Edward Snowden that in fact the NSA collects much information on Americans.  

It has been revealed and written about in many newspapers that the NSA has reimbursed these companies many $ millions for access to this information. Under the PRISM program the NSA actually has direct access to most internet servers and can mine, filter and collect not just your preferences and likes but records of every license you buy, every purchase you make, every organization you belong to or contribute to and your health records. They will soon be able to collect your genetic information.

The NSA has recently completed its newest Data Collection and storage center in Utah. It is only one of many. I suspect that the end result of all this collection is going to be a profile of all Americans. This is already being done in China. The Chinese government has collected data like this on its citizens, it will then classify them and it it used used to determine what your individual access is to public transportation, cell phones, jobs, licenses, health care,  etc. 

I could see a future were everyone is classified with a ranking or number that will determine your future and possibly your children's. How it is determined or quantified we can only guess. But if government has all this information they will use it and I cant see that we will be able protect our individual rights. This is the type of information collection we should all fear.

Joe Biden encourages school violence.

WHEN THE FOCUS IS ON SCHOOL SAFETY, WHY DOES BIDEN ENCOURAGE KIDS TO ASSAULT THOSE WHO THEY DISAGREE WITH?

In a speech in front of school age children Joe Biden said that he would like to take President Trump behind the school and beat him. This a remarkable statement, at a time when everyone except Biden, is concerned about bullying, violence and retaliation against those with whom people disagree. It is not the first ridiculous statement from Biden.

I suppose he feels that if he can get into Twitter feud with Trump  he will raise his relevance in 2020 race for President. Why don't he just try to debate the issues?

Will his endorsement of school violence against the opposition now be used as encouragement to assault and silence school age conservatives and Trump supporters?

Biden better come up with a better strategy if want to be a credible candidate in the future.

Are we now embarking on a real estate tax war?

TO SUGGEST THAT HOMEOWNERS ARE SUBSIDIZING FARMERS IS OUTRAGEOUS 

ANYTHING GOES, IN AN ATTEMPT TO RAISE GOVERNMENT REVENUES

   

The Morning call ran an article yesterday that clearly attempted to propose the idea that homeowners taxes are high because they are subsidizing farmers and others who qualify for reduced real estate taxes through Act 319. This legislation taxes open space, woodlands and farms at a lower rate than housing. It also suggests that large houses with property are also taxed at lower rate. This is really not the case as houses, barns, garages, swimming pools, even if associated with a farm, are taxed at the higher rate. Only the land used or available for farming is taxed at a lower rate.

Without these offsets, it would end farming in Pennsylvania in the first year. It would literally bankrupt anyone who owns farmland, woodland or marginal land in the state. 

It appears that this is the beginning of a new government/media attempt to raise revenues for government entities in the state.

The Morning call failed to mention that itself has a reduced tax rate due to its inclusion in the NIZ program introduced by Mayor Pawlowski. So according to their theory they are being subsidized by the taxpayer of Allentown.

Everyone understands the inequities of the Real Estate tax. From the subjective assessment values, to some who qualify for reduced taxes who maybe should not. We should be looking for real solutions, not trying to pit one group against another to attempt to raise government revenues.

The problem with high real estate taxes is more of a problem of uncontrolled spending by school districts. Spending on nice but unnecessary things that do not add to educational outcomes. Much of this spending is encouraged by envy of what other schools may have in nicer athletic fields or offices for the administration.

Rather than try to divide and conquer the citizens of the state to raise real estate taxes. It is time for the elimination of the Real Estate tax. This antiquated tax, which was used before an income tax existed, is the most discriminatory and inequitable way of funding education. To suggest that only property owners should be responsible for paying the costs of education is ridiculous. This tax needs to be eliminated and replaced with a income or percapita and income combination, that spreads the tax across the whole population. It would also restore the principle of private property, that we really do own our property, rather than lease it from local government entities.

More tough love for California.

GIVE CALIFORNIA WHAT IT WANTS

LET THE NINTH CIRCUIT RULE THE DAY

Last week Attorney General Jeff Sessions sued California for not enforcing Federal Law when it come to illegal criminal aliens. This matter, of course will next be heard by the U.S. Ninth circuit court. This court is notorious for obstructing any claims by the Trump administration. They will unlikely side with the administration on this matter. The usual next step would be to appeal to a higher court, but it may be time to give California what it wants.

Why not let the ninth court prevail, and then pull border security from southern California, placing those border patrol personnel on the borders of California with Arizona, Nevada and Utah. Keep the TSA people at the airports making sure no undocumented fly out of California. This would be a first step. Let California decide how it will police its southern border. The money saved could be used to increase security on other border areas.

Next, allow the other states in the country, many who have substantial numbers of illegal aliens in their jails, that maybe they should contract with Greyhound and send them to a state that has declared their love for criminal illegal immigrants. It would be a financial boon for any state that may be able to eliminate 20% of their prison population. 

Next, propose to California that the Federal government is more than willing to transfer all illegal federal prisoners to the great state of California. Let them vote if they are willing to take them in. Maybe even entice them with a cash reward for any that they agree to accept. 

Instead of continually fighting with California , maybe it is time to allow them to have the state that they desire.

Northwestern Lehigh School safety meeting

SCHOOL SECURITY EXPECTED TO BE ENHANCED

NO STATE ACTION BEING PROPOSED BY WOLF

Last night about a hundred residents of Northwestern Lehigh School district attended a meeting to voice concerns about school safety and security. 

While there is some action possible on the state level, the Governor has not weighed in on any plans to address school security on the state level. The legislator is planning on addressing some issues on this matter. It appears it will be up to the individual school districts to make the decisions on enhancing school security.

Superintendent Mary Ann Wright talked about all the internal efforts at social monitoring and attempting to identify students who may be a problem in the future. She also stressed that the school cannot identify internal problems in the school concerning minor children. These students are protected, as they should be, by law. While these issues are important, they were not the most pressing issues on the public's mind. 

Most of the audience, with a few exceptions who believed that we must accept a certain amount of risk, believe that enhanced security was necessary. Everything was discussed from getting a professional evaluation of what security could be added, adding metal detectors, to allowing qualified teachers to carry concealed weapons and hiring more armed security guards.

Most of these issues can be addressed without changes to state or federal law. Even the allowing of teachers to be armed can be utilized under certain instance's according to existing law. 

There were some who feared having teachers armed. 

The school has been increasing security for some time. They have been focusing on these issues from identifying children with emotional problems to increasing physical security of the property. It is a difficult and continually ongoing focus to insure the safety of students.

The administration states that they will be discussing increased security in the future and that another safety meeting may be in the offing in the future. 

The public is encouraged to attend school board meetings that are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month. 

It was a cordial and respectful meeting that opened a dialogue with the community concerning these matters. It appeared that most everyone thought it a useful and productive meeting.
