The gift of being right

What special gift does someone who is right almost all the time possess?      In my opinion, and this is an opinion article, it is a combination of several things; i.e. an inquisitive mind, a wide range of experience (which brings knowledge), a great deal of common sense (in short supply these days), and the ability to see the big picture and understand the problem being faced, as well as what is required to resolve it.

These days, the overwhelming majority of politicians are lucky to have one of these gifts, and it is rarely common sense.  Fortunately, in Donald Trump,  we have a president who is blessed with all of these gifts/talents.  And even more fortunately for the country, his 2020 opponent, Joe “Who Am I” Biden is devoid of any of such gifts.

As for me and my political opinion articles, I take credit for being right most of the time.  Let me give you some recent examples.

First, I recently wrote an article entitled “The Attack on American History, Our Schools and Churches.”  In that article I made reference to Howard Zinn, a member of the American Communist Party who wrote a false and dark history of our country titled “A People’s History the United States.”  I noted that it had sold over a million copies and was used in many high schools and universities, even though it had been debunked as fraudulent and significantly devoid of the truth by various prominent educators and journalists.  And, even more disturbing was the fact it is apparently still used in some school systems.

Since then, I read an Aug. 2nd article about black Chicago-area educators and politicians calling for the Illinois State Board of Education to abolish history classes.  They claim that current history teachings lead to white privilege and a racist society. They claim current history books overlook women and minorities.  I disagree with the totality of that claim.  There are numerous books that chronicle the lives and contributions of women and minorities throughout the course of history.  They are available for use in history classes and study by any interested parties.  Furthermore, we cannot go back and change the mindset that varied from historical period to historical period.  It is indelible what it was at the time it was made.  Oops, my English teacher just fainted.

Chronicled history is sanctified and should not be altered.  It shows us the good and the bad of the many yesterdays our ancestors passed through.  We cannot change history, but we can learn from it and ensure that the history we make in our todays and tomorrows corrects the mistakes of the past by not repeating them.  History is the old standard against which we strive for a better future for mankind.  If you want something to be concerned about, look in the mirror and wonder how you and yours will be judged by the  past you leave behind.  Opportunity does not reside in the past.  Opportunity is what the dawning of each day lays at our doorstep.  What we do with it is the history we leave behind.

In dealing with the past, present and future, there are certain innate facts/laws that are in constant play.  Four such facts/laws that immediately come to mind are:  (01) The Golden Rule - Those that have the Gold, Rule;  (02) The winner of a war gets to write the history, denote the facts, and declare who was right and wrong; (03) The majority is NOT a minority; (04) Those that beat their swords into plow shears will plow for those who have the swords.  The latter should be remembered when the Second Amendment is under attack, as it is now by the Socialist Democrat Party,  Joe “Where Am I” Biden, and the anti-police/anti-Second Amendment attorney general in the State of New York.

Returning to the subject at hand, The Gift of Being Right, if you read my articles on a regular basis, you will recall my recent article titled “Ensuring the Integrity of the 2020 Presidential Election.”  In that article, I said that election fraud is the only way possible for the Socialist Democrat Party (SDP) to take control of the White House and Congress.  I noted the SDP  and their cohorts are pushing for mail-in voting.  I also said, “I can think of nothing more vulnerable to election fraud than “mail-in voting,” unless it would be voting via the internet, which the Chinese and Russians constantly patrol for potential hacking opportunities.

Once again, the SDP has proven me right.  Knowing that their candidate cannot possibly win the presidency without election fraud, they have ramped up their call for mail-in voting. Their alleged concern is that standing in line to vote will expose the voters to the Chinese Virus. However, I didn’t hear a single Socialist Democrat complaining about the dangers posed by rioters in Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, and Atlanta as potential super-spreaders of the Chinese Virus.  And, what about all those good folks, who recently stood in line to pay their final respects to Congressman John Lewis in more than one city.  If they can stand in line to say their goodbyes - and they should be allowed to do so - we can stand in line to vote. 

Taking our cue from the medical  experts, it would seem that the provision of face masks to in-line voters will keep the voting public safe.  If not, why is anyone wearing a mask?  It is easier and more frugal to hand out masks than incur the printing and postage costs of mail-out ballots and the cost of additional personnel needed to handle/count the mail-in votes and then endure “the contested election,” which will surely follow?

Let me briefly explain the difference between absentee voting and mail-in voting.  Unlike absentee ballots, which require a completed application form containing pertinent identification information that can be checked, mail-in voting is a haphazard shotgun approach.  Using the most recent list of registered voters, ballots are mailed to each and every name on the list. The biggest problem with these lists is the fact they are notoriously out of date; i.e. people have died, moved, gotten married, are in jail, or serving in the military, etc.  It is amazing how many dead people still vote in elections, especially in Socialist Democrat areas.

Anyone could get the mailed ballots, fill them out, and mail them back in. I am 100 percent right about the fact that mail-in ballots are ripe for fraud.  It was President Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, who put the ‘hyphen’ between the words Democrat and fraud when he famously said, “Vote early and vote often!”  Rumor has it that he also said, “But don’t get caught.”

Nevada is the latest state trying to switch to mail-in voting  This is the same state that packs their casinos, hotels, and streets to full capacity with people, but suddenly doesn’t what them to stand in line to vote because they might contract the Chinese Virus. Just another glaring case of hypocrisy by a Socialist Democrat-run state.

That is my gifted opinion.  God Bless America!
