I am currently reading Mark's best seller, "Unfreedom of the press" and well in my opinion, I believe every abled bodied American should read this book.

"It bears remembering that the purpose of a free press like the purpose of free speech, is to nurture the mind, communicate ideas, challenge ideologies, share notions, inspire creativity, advocate and reinforce America's found principles--that is, to contribute to a vigorous, productive, healthy, and happy individual and well-functioning civil society and republic. Moreover, the media are to expose official actions aimed at squelching speech and communication. But when the media function as a propaganda tool for a single political party and ideology, they not only destroy their own purpose but threaten the existence of a free republic.
"It is surely not for the government to control the press and yet the press is not capable of policing itself. We must remember, we are not merely observers, we are the citizenry."---Mark Levin, from the introduction of "Unfreedom Of The Press"

Up until I started reading this book, I compared the Trump administration to that of one Senator Smith. A character in the Movie, "Mr. Smith goes to Washington." On the Opp, I demonstrated many similarities between Jimmy Stewart's Character, "Jeff Smith" with a real person, Donald Trump.

The movie came out in 1939, and the synopsis of the movie is this, "When the idealistic young Jefferson Smith (James Stewart) winds up appointed to the United States Senate, he gains the mentorship of Senator Joseph Paine (Claude Rains). However, Paine isn't as noble as his reputation would indicate, and he becomes involved in a scheme to discredit Smith, who wants to build a boys' campsite where a more lucrative project could go. Determined to stand up against Paine and his corrupt peers, Smith takes his case to the Senate floor."

Frank Capra directed the film, and writers: Sidney Buchman (screen play), and Lewis R. Foster (story) wrote a fantastic story of politics and the struggle between good and evil in the political arena. Although very realistic, the story is still a Hollywood work of fiction, which exposes the political machine that according to Mark Levin began before the Revolution. The difference was society.

You see Mark points out in this great work, that Americans have always been arrogant and always sought to have the upper hand. Take case in point, the political battles between those who supported John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The battle for the presidency did not come easily for founding father, Thomas Jefferson. The Whigs, the party of John Adams, waged a press war against the father of the Republican party, Thomas Jefferson. This was played out then.

He we are 225 years later fighting the same battles. The difference is the progressive movement.

So my question here, is did you read the book? and What did you think?

Where's the Fire?





"The wall" is for a great many people, maybe most, a conceptual construct, an idea, good or bad depending on one's political orientation. For the people at ground zero, it has a completely different connotation. It could be the difference between a normal and a frightening lifestyle.



One such person is Kari Wade, who, with her family, owns a ranch just 50

miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The border rancher recently responded to a Facebook comment when someone asked, "Where's the fire" in regards to the urgency of President Trump to build the wall at the U.S.-Mexico border?



Her answer:

Let me tell you where the fire is:

The "fire" is finding dead bodies on your ranch, the "fire" is finding domestic pig ears in your drinkers when there isn't a domestic pig for 25 miles;

The "fire" is waking up to unknown people talking in your attic;

The "fire" is dogs barking all night when your closest neighbor is 7-25 miles depending on the direction to just realize there are people outside your barn;

The "fire" is having to come home after dark and having to carry a rifle to go feed your livestock after BP (border patrol) tells you that they only caught 9 of the 15 they are looking for.

The "fire" is making a choice: 1) Do I take my child with me to a dark barn to feed and hold the flashlight; or 2) Lock him in the house. So you lock him in the house and call a friend to let them know he's home alone and if they don't hear back from you, to come check on him.

The "fire" is you don't feel comfortable letting your child play outside without being in 'eyeshot' of them.

The "fire" is having large drug busts on your ranch.

The "fire" is feeling sick to your stomach every time the helicopter swirls your house because you know they are chasing people, because you can hear them on the speaker talking to them.

The "fire" is seeing the BP camera set-up 1/2 mile from your house.

The "fire" is coming home after dark...your children are driving in front of you, as one is of age to drive, and there are officers on your road watching i******s 1/4-1/2 mile from your house -- and you have to call your children and tell them to keep driving, don't stop at the house.

The "fire" is coming home to your backdoor -- wide open.

The "fire" is real for me, my family and my community.

Trump Goes On Russian TV To Praise Putin & Slam John McCain.

John McCain Calls Trump's Press Conference With Putin 'One of the Most Disgraceful Performances by an American President'
McCain slams Putin in fiery Senate speech
John McCain SLAMS Trump for ignoring 'America First' and supporting 'KGB agent Putin'
Slamming Putin call, McCain goes after Trump for 'congratulating dictators on winning sham e******ns'
'The View' Co-Host Meghan McCain Slams President Trump Again, Calling Him 'a Child'

So what you are saying here, Mister Two Face, is it is OK for John McCain and daughter to hammer the s**t out of president Trump, but God forbid that Trump should fight back,

==================
That is a very dumb assessment of your liberal brain.
We don't do 20 years of war shooting. In fact ,military strength prevents war from war mongering countries. Who is shooting right now? Iran the friend of Obama and Kerry. He gave $150 billion, plus another $1.8 billion cash to start nuclear weapon. Now Iran has that, shooting in the air innocent US drones flying in the International Waters, and torpedoing oil tankers of our allied nations.

Corporate tax brakes has added 6 million work force paying taxes to the government. Companies have more capital to expand and invest. As a result, they hire more people. it also brought home 6000 business companies from abroad, and now employ our own people. Our GDP right now is 3.2%

Thus reducing our unemployment rate to 3.6% the lowest since 59 years ago. 96.4% of US adults are working. The 3.6% left are those misfits like democrat drug addicts, convicts, disabled a******nist democrat women due to frequent a******ns, drunks, and rapists, or those released convicts.

Amazon has paid hundreds of billions of taxes since inception. I explained earlier how why Amazon paid lower taxes in 2018. They had bought fixt assets, equipment, and technology infrastructure used for their business operations. These equipment are depreciable over a period of years according to the life of the assets. Depreciations are cost deductible from revenue. Current employment of Amazon is 575,000. They are adding another 100,000. These people are now taxpayers. Most of them were food stampers, and Medicaid users. Obama's GDP was 1.5% average.

Liberals like moldy and Loney, don't seem to understand how business and our tax structure works. they could not comprehend, Tax experts like tax lawyers and tax accountants know how to apply that legally.

During the Obama years, we have 10% households unemployed, while b****s was 16% unemployment.
He built $19,997 trillion national debts more than doubled all the debts of prior presidents combined.
There were 46 million households on food stamps.
There were 51% of households who did not pay any income tax.

The MSM and reporters are all LIARS publishing misleading facts to the people.
They are deceivers, and unreliable. Read the book of Mark Levin "The Unfreedom of the Press", number one New York best seller. It will tell you honestly how the press deceives people. They have turned to political tentacles of the democrats.

Polls should have nothing to do with it. Trump obstructed justice in 11 instances from what we can gather from the highly redacted Mueller report, each is a felony. Further he is in clear violation of the emoluments clause in the constitution not to mention violating black letter law by ordering the treasury department to refuse to obey a congressional request for his tax returns. This alone is over a dozen high crimes and misdemeanors committed by the I***t Pumpkinfuhrer for which he should be impeached and removed from office and then prosecuted. It is simply a matter of right and wrong and the congress and senate are wrong to not hold him accountable. I agree with Pelosi that it would likely be detrimental to democrats to take this on without a solid majority of the public behind the effort, but it is their job.

Several posters have counseled me to "pick a side", some even suggesting that I'd have to, eventually. This always bewildered me, since, the act of describing my "side", prompted those responses. I recently posted an opinion that the "center" was permanently anchored on the US Constitution, which again solicited a request for me to "Pick a side". Then, I got it, they were wanting me to pick a location off to the side..................of the Constitution.

There can never be a reconciliation of a divided America, as long as we insist on "sides"......as though it is an actual place. We have decided where the "sides" were first, then tried to develop some rationale or justification for it. Each "side" claims to be true to the Constitution, and since both cannot be Constitutional, it stands to reason that OUR "side" is correct, the other wrong.................which is exactly what THEY believe as well.

I'll say it one more time, and try to be more clear; I HAVE picked a "side", the same "side" I've always been on.........right smack in the middle of the Constitution of the United States of America. I do NOT have to pick your "side" or theirs, I've picked MINE and intend to stay there. To make sure I'm understood, let me phrase it this way; any "side" not based singularly and squarely on the Constitution, without re-interpretations, t***slations, or modifications...................is wrong and always will be.

Unless and until the Constitution is amended to read the way you WANT it to read, to support your ideology or viewpoint.....................you will always be wrong when moving either to the left or right of this document. There should be only ONE ideology in America, the ideology described by the Constitution, a document that is apolitical and non partisan.
