France’s Downfall and the Media Coverup
The events occurring in France right now ought to have everyone alarmed. Far left riots, police fleeing, cities and landmarks burning to the ground. It’s a very distinct possibility that the government of France may fall. It begs the question, how did we get here and what can we do about it?
As far as the second one, I don’t have the answer. Not too sure anyone does. It’s quite likely past the point of no return. The first question, however, has a multifaceted answer. The Islamic takeover of that country has reached a level that just a few years ago may have been viewed as impossible. Fear of being called racist has allowed this radical ideology to spread all over Europe. This is an ideology where women have no rights, gays are thrown off roofs, and their biggest prophet was a pedophile. Too many are afraid to stand up to it for fear of labels, and that is why they hold power to terrorize.
France’s left-wing rule has led to an inability to pay bills and keep up with infrastructure. Hundreds of schools are now closed. Who would have thought free handouts would lead to this? (Any conservative.) Who would have thought open borders and the constant importation of the third world would lead to this? (Any conservative.) This is what communism, socialism, even modern liberalism eventually leads to. France is the perfect storm of weak leadership (Macron), the left being the left, and Islam being Islam.
Government Always Makes It Worse
Every time the government gets their hands on something, it becomes worse. It’s why prices spiral out of control – because as they insert themselves into the equation, there are more channels before the product or service reaches the end user. Which means more bureaucracy to waste money on, and more programs like USAID popping up to disperse your money everywhere else in the world but here.
One of the best examples of this is healthcare. The so-called “Affordable” Care Act passed in 2010, now 16 years ago. What has happened since? Healthcare prices have spiraled out of control. They are more expensive than ever. It’s to a point the Democrats are now asking for a ton of more money to fund it. Well, what happened? This was supposed to make healthcare affordable for everyone, and it was supposed to be efficient. That’s how they phrased it. But it is the complete opposite of that – and I would contend they knew this would happen when they passed the act in 2010.

Our Choices For Senate: Bad and Worse
Darline Graham has not earned my vote.
Everything that was true about her during the primary is still true. She is not qualified to be a Senator and only received the position due to nepotism. She is not particularly intelligent, and will likely carry on the same warmongering, USAID loving, politically convenient policies that her brother did. And at some point, she will probably stab President Trump in the back, like her brother did.
So what are the options? Well, voting Democrat is not one. This blogger has never voted for a Democrat in his life and never will. In the case of this year’s senate race, the Democrat, Annie Andrews, is for child castration (though she is trying to deny it and moderate her image in a red state). It has earned her the nickname “Tranny Annie.”
On the other end, the establishment in this state has been a huge disappointment in the roughly 6 years I have lived here (and before that). Just about every time, the Republican party puts up the closest candidate to a Democrat with an R after their name. They generally have conservative voting records around 50% or lower, where over 80% is what ought to be expected. Lindsey Graham was no exception. It’s what Rush Limbaugh used to refer to as “Democrat-lite.”
Another Establishment Disappointment
I’m about at the end of my rope when it comes to South Carolina politics. At least for now. Yesterday’s bought and paid for election of DEI Darline Graham over tried-and-true conservative Ralph Norman proves we have a long way to go. From the start, the odds were stacked against Norman, as they always are in this state when it comes to conservative candidates. Tons of money poured in form her from the usual corrupt PACs, and she was able to outspend him 4 to 1. She also had the terrible Trump endorsement, which he gets wrong every single time in this state. So many people (in this case, 193,396) will just do what they are told rather than thinking for themselves.
When will this state actually elect some conservative leadership? I don’t think I’m asking for much. Last night was a great opportunity to have our first conservative Senator in many years. And now that’s not going to happen. We do have some conservative leadership in the state house, but their agenda is regularly railroaded because establishment fake Republicans would rather unite with Democrats than work with the Freedom Caucus. This explains why this state only turns out 40% conservative legislation.
