Mark Begitch Probably Will Get Elected Gov of Alaska

Former U.S. Senator Mark Begitch probably will be elected the next Governor of Alaska. The present Governor Walker isn't very popular having cut the permanent fund drastically.The republican candidate (Walker is an Independent) Mike Dunleavy might just give the permanent fund to the most rich (that is a worry of voters), or is at least not trusted to keep it intact. Alternatively former Senator Begitch might restore the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend and find some way to let Government pay for itself without raiding the people's treasury to benefit the most rich. Politicians ought not be or support ecospheric cleptocrats.

The Republicans have zero environmental conservation credibility and so lose support from independents that care about the world remaining a livable safe space (in some respects) for humanity. It is a Charybdis, Scylla-hydra tripartite choice with Democrats being preponderantly morally depraved and ungodly people that  want to turn the U.S.A. over to globalist powers while letting illegal aliens do the heavy lifting. Life is not a box of chocolates.

SCOTUS has continued to remove state political power. Governors haven't so much power to regulate states as formerly. Putin took away the power of Russian governors too in building up federalism. In a way the United States is becoming more like the Soviet Union with the President being the Chairman of the Communist Party-except it's a corporatist party that is sometimes neo-socialist. The Senate is like the Supreme Soviet. Former executive administration insiders keep their security clearances forever like permanent members of the communist party enfeofed as a shadow government. The broadcast media make democracy seem real though it's all about plutocracy and socialist sycophants.

Republicans tend to regard all public property as rightly belonging to the most rich. They also tend to believe environmental reform isn't necessary because they have vague and incorrect Christian apocalyptic reason not to care about the world ecosphere being trashed through over-use. The incorrect theological doctrine of pre-millennialism provides that the apocalypse of the Bible is in the future and those of faith will be raptured out before the final collapse. Actually the Biblical apocalypse happened in the first century a.d. when the apostles were killed and Jerusalem destroyed by the Romans. Jesus said all that would happen within the present generation and it did. Pre-millennialist theologians are simply to daft to comprehend that the Biblical truth is post-millennialism.

One must wonder if Mark Begitch will utilize the somewhat new field of participatory budgeting if elected Governor of Alaska. Numerous Alaskan cities might find the PB procedures useful.

Swiss Citizenship Wasn't Work a Handshake

Apparently all a Muslim couple lacked to become Swiss citizens was a handshake. The Muslims passed everything else and were about to become citizens of Switzerland but refused to shake hands with the government people in order not to become contaminated by the obviously crass Swiss government workers that permit such intimate, promiscuous, hand to hand contact between people of the opposite sex outside of being in the sack. The Swiss government people saw the refusal as some kind of cultural issue and gave the pair a flunk on the citizenship test.

The EC at least recognizes that the Muslims have an inalienable right to spit in the face of government workers in whatsoever country they deem to take a citizenship in. The EC is a staunch defender of human rights.

Former Intell Critics Seem Like Deep State Roaches Emerging After Jones Purge

Alex Jones' ideas about the deep state people seems to be actualizing in public following the disappearance of Alex Jones from social media. All of the former intelligence officials critical of the President that have emerged from the shadows recently like roaches when the lights are turned off seem as if they are the tip of the iceberg of dark matter swelling up from the deep below the surface realm of collusion between Harvard alumni, the Cintons, Bushes and military industrial complex that never ever want things to change or be economically efficient and downsized.

The calvacade of collusionist clowns in the 1% owned media that are corporatist-socialists and have marginalized any sort of independent President with bad ecological economic ideas perhaps will never stop until all Americans are peons made equally politically irrelevant. Why not take away security clearances from all former government employees with temporary security passes if they are really necessary now and then? The persistence of lackeys of former Presidents interfere too much with the present President. That's the deep state.

Founders Didn't Want an Elite SCOTUS to Rule By Decree

The U.S. Supreme Court is comprised of elites, largely from Harvard, that should just make decisions among more or less settled social issues. The founders never intended the court to have an elite, non-democratic license to rule by decree when the court is packed with an elite cadre of collusionists as it is presently and was in 2015 when it decreed homosexual marriage on the nation in Obergefell v. Hodges. The founders were not pro-queer marriage. To say they were is a very substantial fiction.

The Supreme Court decided for itself to decide in favor of a minority to corrupt one of the world's and nation's oldest and basic social institutions- marriage, without popular support. Technically anyone could bring any sort of silly issue before the court that could decide in its favor and make it the law of the land. The Constitution was formed in a frontier society without content regarding innumerable contemporary issues. Hence the court can choose whatsoever whey it likes to creatively, yet that doesn't mean it must.

SCOTUS should try to remain within the paradigm of democracy and allow the legislature and executive branch to make and execute the laws so far as it can. Where it should be very cautious is in making laws through the court itself that have no precedence in written or customary laws and that are not at all popular. It should allow the states to vote for their own establishments where they will and not compel all Americans to support issues popular in some states and unliked in others where no federal law exists.

A Supreme Court that is clearly inclined to rule by decree and force unpopular laws upon the nation is a court that should be legally hobbled. If the people wanted a dictatorship they could keep electing Democrats,, national socialists and Harvard grads.

Apparently Russia is working on an e-government and open-government to supplement the federal government and to input public ideas and try to be more attentive to public interests. The public initiative is a good idea if the results are public and if only registered voters that are verified sign in to vote on initiative suggested by the public. While they would have no legally binding consequence they would service to advise instead of biases opinion polls from corporations owned by the most wealthy.

Russia Cuts Bureaucracy Better than U.S.A.

It is interesting that Russia has actually cut federal government better than the U.S.A. during a recent period of 2008-2016. After 2009 Russia had a big cutback in the number of federal civil servants. They worked the Reagan ideal of reducing government size that Presidents Bush II and Obama failed at. G.W. Bush increased federal employment 17% and B.H. Obama 10%.

Russian government employs a lot of women now. More than 70% are female. The United States government is purging women with their numbers dropping down to fewer than 37% during the Obama administration. Men are being employed more; probably homosexuals in keeping with the Democrat Party orientation.

In the second stage of the reform of state administration that occurred during 2006-2010 the Putin and Medvedev administrations identified surplus regulatory functions and reduced excessive state regulation of business. That was, in theory, something President Reagan sought to accomplish too. The effort continues in the 3rd reform era 2012-2020.

Dez Bryant and Western Civilization

Dez Bryant could become a percentage player if he signs with the Seahawks for a minimal million and a bonus contingency for reaching the playoffs. Incentive contracts aren't usually good, yet a million here, a couple there in the playoffs and an option to sign for a few dollars more next year might work out for the receiver that could catch passes from Russell Wilson.

Even so the possible star receiver might look to Denver that has a better defense for a similar sort of deal with an outside chance of going farther into the playoffs than the Seahawks that seem to be weaker on defense than Denver.

Mid-Term Policies; Whose Do Voters Hate More?

America's two-party political system gives voters the chance every two years to decide who and what they hate and to vote against the vile party they hate more. In 2016 voters hated Democrat Party policies more than Republican and so President Trump was elected and the Republican majority returned to Congress. Many voters hate Democrats more now than in 2016, and that's a little unusual. Democrats have abandoned a national party agenda for the mid-term as a clever strategy to keep a low target profile for voters to hate. Yet they know and hate those Democrat Party planks anyway.

The U.S.A. is a nation with equal opportunity, non-discriminatory political hate. Democrats hate Donald Trump even more than Republicans hated Barrack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton. In America, politically speaking, the nation is living the dream.
