Pelosi Multi-Pen Impearchment Articles Signing Spectical & Waltzing Them Across the Rotunda to the Senate

On 15 January 2020, I watched the Pelosi gaggle “Waltzing Across the Rotunda” ceremony to deliver the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate and was disappointed she hadn’t

arranged for the Army Band to provide accompanying music as they were all marching out of step. Noticed she timed what the Washington Post (WaPo) termed her “Parade” late in the day just in time for the evening network news shows. Senator McConnell should have already closed up the Senate so she would have had to drop off the documents in their overnight drop box. The only thing more ridiculous then her “parade” was her

Multi-Pen signing ceremony surrounded by her posse chuckling and “high 5-ing” each other. I fully expect the DNC to be selling replica pens as a money maker consistent with the dignity in which the “signing ceremony” was conducted. I wasn’t offended, I was entertained but just thought the production could have been better choreographed.

So much for a facade of dignity. McConnell should return the Articles for an illegible signature. I’m confident he will conduct the Senate trial in a much more dignified manner then the House “Schiff Show” fiasco was handled and I look forward to an entertaining January watching the tag-team of Schiff-Nadler perform their “second act.”

Washington Post Political "Reporting" Hacks Show Their Bias at their "Merry Impeachmas" Party Celebrating the Trump Impeachment

On 18 December 2019, Members of The Washington Post’s (WaPo) congressional reporting team of Rachael Bade, Karound Demirjan, Paul Kane, Seung Min Kim and Mike DeBonis threw themselves a party to celebrate the US House of Representatives voting Article of Impeachment against President Trump earlier that day.  They were so proud of themselves that they tweeted — but later deleted — this photo of themselves celebrating at what they dubbed their “Merry Impeachmas” party.

Following the tweet going viral, the WaPo decided they best have this gaggle of hacks lay low for a while to let the furor blow over so for about 10 days there were no article with a byline of any of the “Merry Impeachmas” gaggle but that didn’t last long.

Now, once again the WaPo is back to committing “journalistic malpractice” by allowing their gaggle of self-avowed Trump-Haters masquerading as “journalists” to again “report” on politics. Despite the fact that these "Merry Impeachmas" hacks, Rachael Bade, Karound Demirjan, Paul Kane, Seung Min Kim, and Mike DeBonis, had proudly displayed their extreme anti-Trump bias for the World to see, they are now back to work at the WaPo spewing their anti-Trump half-truths.  One thing these hacks all have in common is mixing their personal opinions into their articles and dishonestly trying to pass it off as “news.” The fact we now see their bylines again just confirms the WaPo doesn't want to even give "the appearance" of unbiased reporting so the new WaPo tag line should be expanded to more honestly and accurately reflect their agenda: Democracy Dies in Darkness and the WaPo is Turning Out the Lights.

Washington DC Is Well on Its Way to Regaining Its Title of America’s Murder Capital by Posting a Decade Record Breaking Number of Murders in 2019!

On New Year’s Day, 1 January 2020, the Washington Post published, as they do every New Year’s Day, the homicide statistics for Washington, DC and the surrounding adjacent Maryland and Virginia suburbs.  Using the WaPo data and the Census Bureau 2019 population numbers, I have calculated the homicide rates of DC and the adjacent Maryland and Virginia suburbs.  This table displays the results:

The stats once again clearly demonstrated that any WaPo reader so naïve as to believes the myth that onerous gun laws yield safer communities need to look no further than these WaPo stats to be disabused of that fantasy. The FACT is a DC resident, where firearms are virtually impossible to own, is over 17.5 times more likely to be a homicide victim then one of us Gun Tottin Virginians who are fortunate enough to live in a state where gun ownership for self protection is almost unrestricted.  Even a Marylander, with very restrictive gun laws, is over five times less likely to be a homicide victim than a DC resident; much better than DC but a Marylander is still over 3.4 times more likely to be a homicide victim than one of us Virginia Gun Totters!

This article clearly shows the breathtaking disparity in homicide rates between the Virginia adjacent suburbs and the DC or Maryland jurisdictions that not only don’t have the death penalty but where criminals have little chance of being confronted by a law abiding citizen who just might just have a gun of their own.  Virginia is where gun ownership is almost unrestricted and the only question for murders is “do you prefer the needle or the chair?” Another recent WaPo article noted that 60% of DC homicide offenders had a previous gun arrest.

Contributing to the DC problem is the DC model for “punishing” criminals as embodied in the DC Youth Rehabilitation Act which routinely puts youthful murderers back on the street in record time.  Now the DC Council wants to “fix” the act to treat street thugs up to age 25 instead of the present 22 as “misunderstood” kids that didn’t really mean to commit murder with a firearm so they should be released on their own recognizance until they have killed at least three people. Then, in the unlikely event they are ever prosecuted they should be “rehabilitated” for a couple of years in a group home and then released back into the general population to put into practice what they learned in “rehab.”

DC officials must not care much about a bunch of street thugs killing each other but what’s intolerable is they should care about the number of innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. This is obviously a marksmanship training problem so they should amend the law so iInstead of the present DC “catch and release” policy for perpetrators of gun violence, they should be required to complete a shooting course to improve their aim during “rehab” so they only hit the other thugs they are aiming at.

In conclusion, the statistics clearly demonstrate that contrary to liberal rhetoric, it is an “inconvenient truth” that “guns actually do make us safer.” Ask any citizen who has been directed to “shelter in place” because a crazed killer was loose in their neighborhood how they feel about owning a gun and I’ll bet the overwhelming majority wished they had a gun. Could it be that homicidal maniacs would much rather commit their crimes in jurisdictions like DC and MD without the death penalty and are not so anxious to attack law-abiding VA citizens as they might be "packing heat?"

Why is Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA8) Constantly Acting to the Detriment of His Constituents? IS IT PAST TIME FOR HIM TO GO?

Don Beyer (D-VA8) is my US Congressman and he represents the Virginia Congressional District closest to Washington, DC, our Nation’s Capital and the home of the Pentagon.  The number of causes championed by Beyer detrimental to his constituents are too numerous to chronicle here but the two that most irritate me are:

> His untiring support for DC Statehood with it disastrous tax implications for residents of Virginia and Maryland, especially voters in his district that are so unfortunate as to have to work in the District. Most VA-8 residents would be in the 8.5% DC Tax Bracket although some would hit the 9.5% one.

> His persistent fraternization with and support for the notorious traitor “Hanoi Jane” Fonda including her constant shenanigans that snarl DC Traffic and inconvenience his constituents. Also, just the embarrassment of being constantly photographed with someone that is a “slap in the face” of all Veterans, especially those of us that had the privilege of serving in Vietnam.

Now let’s look at each of these issues in depth:

Support for DC Statehood.  Beyer Co-sponsored H.R. 317,  New Columbia Admission Act 15_H317 on Jan 13, 2015 - Statehood for the District of Columbia, which “Sets forth procedures for admission into the United States of the state of New Columbia.”

The first thing a new state of New Columbia would do is impose a Commuter Tax on Virginia and Maryland residents unlucky enough to have to work in DC. As I mentioned before, because the 8.5% DC Tax Bracket begins at $60,000 a year, most of Beyer’s constituents would fall in that bracket although several would be in the 9.5% bracket.

Currently the District of Columbia’s government doesn’t have the authority to attack the liberty of people who are not citizens of the District through an income tax. In fact, in and of itself, the D.C. government has no authority to do anything. It has only what authority Congress grants it. And Congress has specifically barred the District from taxing its neighbors.  The Home Rule Act (1973) prohibits DC from levying a commuter Tax, a provision added at the insistence of local congressmen of BOTH parties from Maryland and Virginia and accepted as part of the compromise necessary to pass the Act.

In 2004 DC went to Court seeking to interject its authority into the tax policy of its neighbors and levy an income tax on the citizens of Virginia and Maryland who happen to work each day in the District. A federal judge heard initial arguments in the District’s suit seeking to declare the law barring a DC commuter tax unconstitutional arguing that Congress is limiting the rights of DC residents by barring a commuter tax. The District also contended that its citizens’ rights were violated because the District has no vote in Congress, and thus, no way to make the citizens’ voice heard on the issue.

In their responses, the federal government and Attorneys General from BOTH Maryland and Virginia hit on a number of key points. For example, they pointed out that the District is not a state, and doesn’t have the same rights as states. They also argued that commuters already pay sufficient taxes to the District through sales, meals, and other levies, to cover the services that they utilize during their days at work, and they shouldn’t have to pay for services that they won’t ever be able use as non-residents.  Finally, they pointed out that Article I Section 8. US Constitution states: “Congress shall have power …. To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States …” Hence, it would take a Constitutional Amendment for DC Statehood, something that will NEVER happen.

Fortunately, the judge ruled that the DC arguments, while creative, were also (borrowing an expression from Joe Biden I’m sure) “a bunch of malarkey.”

Fraternization with the NotoriousTraitor “Hanoi Jane” Fonda.  Beyer constantly associates with and routinely has his picture taken with “Hanoi Jane” – the Infamous Traitor who proudly posed on a North Vietnamese Anti-Aircraft Gun used to shoot down American Airmen during her trip to North Vietnam supporting our enemy in that War. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that she actually engaged a few “targets” while she was there.  In these pictures that are also viral on the Internet it certainly looks like she was having such a terrific time atop that AA Gun!

Beyer’s District is home to the Pentagon, the headquarters for the entire US Military, and has one of the highest percentages of Active Duty and Retired Military, and Veterans in the Nation but that doesn’t deter Beyer from his BFF status with “Hanoi Jane.”  To say she is vilified by almost all Veterans would be an understatement.  Although apologists say she has apologized for being photographed on that anti-aircraft gun and point to her 1988 Barbara Walters interview where “Hanoi Jane” expressed regret for some of her comments and actions as proof of her remorse, that’s not the full story.  True, in that interview she did state: “I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of things that I said or did…. I want to apologize to them and their families. ... I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft gun, which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes. It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless.”

Of course what is always left unsaid is what prompted this insincere “apology” was she was shooting a film in New England at the time and it was being disrupted by Vietnam Vets protesting her presence. The production delays were costing her big bucks and she issued that insincere apology in an effort to quell the Veteran riots that were disrupting her shooting and almost driving her into bankruptcy.  Now knowing this piece of omitted information, you can judge for yourself how sincere her “apology” was.

Now how have “Hanoi Jane’s” recent antics affected Beyer’s VA-8 constituents? On Friday, 20 December 2019, “Hanoi Jane” was arrested here in DC for the fifth time in the past three months during a demonstration over global warming, something has she has done every Friday in Washington since early October.  At least this time she was nabbed inside the Hart Senate Office Building so she was only inconveniencing politicians. Earlier in the month on 5 December her antics managed to snarl traffic all over the city as she led a rolling protest that meandered through downtown Washington for more than seven hours including the morning rush.  “Hanoi Jane” and her gaggle of followers blocked major intersections with bodies and banners, sending cars and buses down winding, alternate routes. Outside some Washington offices she and her protesters chained themselves to doors blocking all entrances and exits. Despite hours of disruptions and tense moments between her protesters and DC police, officials were too intimidated by her coziness with politicians like Beyer that they didn’t make a single arrest.  Appears disrupting traffic and making his Virginia constituents late to work doesn’t trouble Beyer in the least.

Global warming is a worthy cause

but “Hanoi Jane” Fonda is the wrong face for the movement. Veterans will never forgive her for those picture of her laughing and smiling as she was manning that North Vietnamese antiaircraft battery used to shoot down and kill American pilots. What’s even more galling is my Congressman Don Beyer is constantly appearing with her and having his picture taken with this traitor. As recently as this past October Beyer he even had her as his “special guest” at a Women’s Forum he sponsored at George Mason University and he appeared on stage at the event with her praising her “activism” including her deplorable traitorous antics in North Vietnam.

Beyer even being in company of “Hanoi Jane” let alone praising her is a slap in the face of all Vets and especially those of us that were sent by our Nation to fight the Vietnam War. I realize Beyer reached draft age at the height of that war but managed to dodge the draft but that doesn’t give him a pass from those of us that did answer our Nation’s call. I would urge all voters in Beyer’s Virginia Congressional District to contact him and voice displeasure at his association with a traitor like “Hanoi Jane.”

I hope ALL Virginia 8th District Voters, but especially Veterans, are disgusted by Don Beyer’s deplorable association with “Hanoi Jane” Fonda and I encourage every VA-8 Constituent to contact his Congressional Office by either email at:   RepDonBeyer@mail.house.gov  or by filling out an online message at: https://beyer.house.gov/contact/  to voice displeasure at Congressman Beyer having the audacity to appear with a traitor like “Hanoi Jane.”

MAYBE IT’S ABOUT TIME WE VOTE THIS “POLITICIAN” THAT ASSOCIATES WITH TRAITORS OUT OF OFFICE AND REPLACE HIM WITH A GENUINE LOYAL AMERICAN.

Let’s Turn “Nose Picking in Public” into a “White Power” Hand Gesture and Rid the World of a Disgusting Habit!

The Washington Post published no less than eight (8) nasty anti-Military articles accusing West Point Cadets and Naval Academy Midshipmen making the “OK” hand signal during the 14 December 2019, Army-Navy Football Game of instead flashing a “white power” sign. This 14 Dec WaPo article: “Naval Academy probes possible ‘white power’ gesture at game" is representative of the kind of dishonest Military sliming the WaPo engaged in.

It wasn’t until 20 Dec 2019 that the WaPo had to finally come clean with this article: “West Point cadets and Navy midshipmen were playing the ‘circle game,’ not making a racist gesture, investigators say." Then it appears it all went away … but not before the WaPo got to have its fill of ridiculing those of us that serve the Nation! I would only point out that, if the Cadets and Midshipmen were making a racist hand gesture, these pictured show they were in good company.

Now, I’d like put his “racist hand signal” phenomenon to some good by starting the rumor that “sticking one’s finger up one’s nose” is a “white power” sign. At least this might have the serendipitous benefit of elimination the disgusting practice of nose picking in public. I’m confident the WaPo could go through their archives and find a picture of many politicians of both parties “picking their nose” so they could label all of them White Nationalist. It would be as honest as what the WaPo did to these innocent USMA and USNA students (or even what they did to “The Covington Kid” Sandmann) but this time they would be “serving the public good” by ridding the World of this disgusting habit.

I’m confident The Washington Post could pull this hoax off with a straight face because as their new Tag Line declares:  Democracy Dies in Darkness and the WaPo is Turning Out the Lights.
