Leftist lies and the failure of socialism everywhere

To The Daily Sun,

For many weeks, I have been proudly wearing my MAGA cap and have had nothing but positive remarks on it. I haven’t bullied or assaulted anyone, nor have I seen any news reports or videos where masked gangs of Trump supporters are rampaging through city streets or collage campuses like the leftist ANTIFA have been doing for years. So what the heck is Scott Cracraft talking about? It’s what’s called projection by psychiatrists. It’s when someone accuses others of doing the things that he/she is actually doing.

In spite of what the fake news and lies mainstream media tell us, the entire nation is much better off than we were four years ago. More people are again proud to be Americans, proud of our nation and our President. Minorities are shocking the establishment by looking very favorably toward him who just a few years ago would never even consider voting for a Republican, let alone Donald Trump. No wonder, unemployment among minorities is at an all-time low. Hope of climbing out of generational poverty and dependence on Democratic subsistence programs can now be seen as more than a dream. Enterprise zones established by the President in poor and minority communities are growing like never before. Lord knows Democrats have done little beyond welfare, food stamps, and housing subsidies for the past 50 years while making empty promises they never keep.

Trump represents a new age for all Americans, especially working people. There is great hope in the future for single moms, blue-collar workers, union and non-union, men, women, gays, straight; it is only the elitist establishment that feels threatened. The fear of losing their power and privilege drives their hatred and vitriol. They take no joy seeing average Americans doing well; all they see is a threat to themselves. Hating him for being the no-nonsense, America-first president the people hoped he would be and has been drives them crazy.

So what is it they offer in response? Socialism! Once again I remind readers that socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried. Whether they call it socialism, communism or fascism, it’s all the same big government top-down control, putting government before people. History is full of examples where prosperity was lost and replaced with poverty. Peace replaced with revolution and war, plenty with starvation. To expect different from the current American socialists is spitting into the winds of history. It will not work here, either.

Here is an interesting note. Research by the Middle East Forum has found that, since 2007, the U.S. Government has sent $47 million to 61 Islamic institutions. No big deal? Except that 36% of those institutions are controlled by terrorist groups. Another 36% receiving funds operate under varying degrees of radical influence. This means that at least $41 million was given to institutions fully or partly controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. It's like giving millions to the KKK. Another example of government shortsightedness. And Dems want us to turn our lives and futures over to their big government dream.

For all those CNN fans out there, news is, after trying out a brand new anti-Trump lie, they got slapped down by none other then the CIA. The network invented a whopper that U.S. intelligence had to extract a top high-level asset due to the President's mishandling of classified intelligence. CIA’s response: “CNN’s reporting is not only incorrect, it has the potential to put lives in danger.” There you go, fans, another example of fake news.

Ever hear of the Gastro summit? No? Me either, but seems one was held in Stockholm the other week. Big news is that one of the scientists, Magnus Soderlund, came up with a bizarre (in my opinion) solution to fight global warming. Eat human flesh, he proposed. Well, hum, hard to even know what to say on that one. Repulsive comes first to mind, but I guess it’s so crazy that humor is the next thought, to me at least. Can you imagine the Thanksgiving turkey being replaced with a leg of, who? Uh! Sorry that doesn’t work very well either. Well hard to believe that AOC's crazy cow flatulence idea could fall into second place, but here you go, if anything does, this is it.
