October Surprises

Last night, I took a break from politics and took the wife out on a date at an Irish restaurant. We are about to celebrate our three year anniversary. I had an English dish called Bangers and Mash. It was great.

As we were leaving, I checked the news and noticed that all hell was breaking loose on Facebook and Twitter. Trump had been caught on video making a very Trumpy statement about women like ten years ago and Wikileaks had dumped some emails in which Hillary had been caught making a very Hillary statement about globalism to a bunch of Brazilian bankers behind closed doors:

“Donald J. Trump issued an unusual videotaped apology early Saturday after a 2005 recording surfaced that showed him speaking in extraordinarily vulgar terms about women, setting off an uproar in the Republican Party.

“Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am,” he said. “I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.” …”

I’m not sure what the timeline was here. Which came out first? The long awaited Wikileaks dump or the Trump Tape? It sounds like one campaign was retaliating against the other and trying to keep bad news from dominating the news cycle.

“Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton admitted she takes two positions on policy issues.

One in private — ostensibly, the “real” position and one for the public — according to a damaging email leak released on Friday by Wikileaks that included clips of Clinton’s paid speeches to Wall Street banks and other organizations. …

“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere,” Clinton told Banco Itau, a Brazilian bank, on May 16, 2013.”

By the sound of it, I’m guessing the Wikileaks dump came first?

It’s nice to have Hillary saying in her own words what we have been saying about her all along: she is open borders, neo-liberal globalist.

She dreams of signing new destructive free-trade agreements like NAFTA and the TPP which will continue to suck jobs overseas and impoverish the White working class while enriching the Davos elite. She dreams of a borderless world in which all immigration enforcement has collapsed, where any refugee, drug trafficker, or terrorist who wants to come here can waltz across the non-existent border, where all illegal aliens have been given amnesty and can vote in our elections and the whole Third World can come here if it wants to do so.

Imagine a world where the fossil fuels industry (oil, coal, natural gas) has been regulated out of existence by the federal government in order to chase the same “green energy” pipe dream that Obama has been chasing for the last eight years now. Imagine the forced unemployment that would cause (already has caused) across Appalachia. Remember all those “green energy” jobs Obama promised to create 8 years ago and 4 years ago?

Gas prices have plummeted because of fracking which radical greens led by Bernie Sanders are determined to ban. Look at Germany where the average price of electricity is 3x what it is now in Alabama. In Germany, the elderly are freezing to death in the winter and reverting to wood burning stoves because of high energy prices. That’s not even because of fossil fuels. It is because they shutdown their nuclear power plants.

In the last debate, Hillary talked about deploying “half a billion more solar panels.” She didn’t say that China already dominates the solar panel industry, has expanded its US marketshare, and would be poised to make even larger gains under the Trans-Pacific Partnership and whatever she dreams of coming after that.

So, if you are living in southwest Virginia, you can expect the following:

1.) Hillary wants to ship more manufacturing jobs out of your community and shutdown coal mining. Because that’s exactly what is needed right now in your area, amiright?

2.) Hillary wants to dump unlimited numbers of Muslim refugees in your community in order to rip apart the social fabric. Don’t even bother to ask obvious questions like – why?

3.) Hillary wants to make it as easy as possible for drug traffickers to operate in your community who bring everything from heroin to prescription drugs into your community.

4.) Hillary wants to integrate your public restrooms so that transsexuals won’t suffer from an identity crisis. She supports gay marriage and god only knows whatever crazy thing “progressives” will dream up next.

5.) Hillary wants the whole Third World to be able to come across our borders – including all the gangbangers, rapists, murderers, thieves of Latin America – and settle in your community and tax you in order to pay for their schools and every other cost of their presence here.

6.) Hillary wants to set loose terrorists into your community – like the one who recently struck in Roanoke – and calls you a racist and bigot for objecting to it.

7.) Hillary wants to send your children overseas to some foreign country like Iraq or Libya where they might die in order to destabilize large areas of the world so that ISIS can take over there. She might even start the Third World War with Russia over Ukraine’s border. She doesn’t give a damn about our border though.

8.) Hillary says that your friends, family and neighbors are “irredeemable” and “un-American” Deplorables on account of their racism, sexism, nativism, classism, bigotry, Eurocentrism, homophobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia, heteronormativity, and their cisgendered white privilege due to their implicit bias and all the advantages that have accrued to them – living as they do in their trailer park – under the systemic racism that President Obama has maintained for the last eight years.

9.) Hillary wants to disarm you and take away your guns on top of all that.

10.) Hillary wants to raise your taxes, regulate the hell out of small businesses, regulate other resource extraction industries like timber to death while giving foreigners who don’t have these government imposed competitive disadvantages free and unfettered access to our market.

11.) Hillary wants to jack up gas prices and electricity prices. Because, who doesn’t want to pay more for energy? It’s a no brainer!

12.) Finally, Hillary wants to demonize the police and glorify the angry, sullen, rioting mobs of negroes you see every other week now on television. She wants to incite them against you in your community.

Oh, but wait … wait, you say that Trump made a lewd, offensive comment about women ten years ago, and he called Alicia Machado fat twenty years ago. Are you telling me that Donald Trump was the person who everyone in the world thought he was – someone who had cultivated an image as a billionaire playboy since the 1980s – until he ran for president?

Like that totally blew my mind! I don’t care about any of the things above now that will have a direct impact on my own life and the lives of everyone in my community!
