America's uprising against insiders and media ~ By Armstrong Williams

Armstrong Williams says press has 'totally lost touch with reality'
Make no mistake about it: This is the year of the outsider. Dr. Ben Carson and Donald Trump are not going away. Mainstream candidates will not be able to carry this election, despite the best efforts of their friends in the mainstream media. The people are in an uprising against the status quo, and the uprising won’t be stopped, muted or co-opted, as it has been in the past. People want something radically different. It is high time the mainstream media get used to it.
I know what Armstrong is saying, but I don't think that the Washington insider label applies to Senators Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio as much as it would to many of the current and former governors still seeking the GOP nomination for President. I have to believe that when the establishment candidates and media are bashing them, it shows Cruz and Rubio may be the true Conservatives we are looking for. It virtually proves it, actually. In that MSM joke they called a "debate," hosted by CNBC, both Cruz and Rubio managed to show the backbone to stand up to the Establishment media and politicians.

I should just say thank you to CNBC for doing the lousy job in hosting the latest GOP debate, which made it possible to see the qualities of the two GOP candidates they love to disparage and ignore. Just sayin'...

Kaboom! Cruz launches missile at debate hosts ~ By Paul Bremmer

'Illustrate why the American people don't trust the media'
"Let me say something at the outset,” Cruz began. “The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media."
The mean-spirited character assassins (pseudo debate moderators) of the CNBC network hosting the GOP debate were not asking any questions of substance, but instead, tried to nail the Republican candidates with a "gotcha" interrogation. With the very first question being, "What is your biggest weakness?", and followed by even dumber questions meant to make the candidates look bad, Ted Cruz finally went off on the pseudo moderators. See the video below:

Why I Hate Politics ~ By Patrice Lewis

Patrice Lewis explains why GOP Presidential candidates like Donald Trump, Dr. Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina are doing so well. They are not politicians. And even "mavericks" like Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) - proclaiming to be Socialist, but running as a Democrat - are trending high in their respective parties as viable candidates. Why? As Patrice points out, the voter anger is directed at the politics of the ordained candidates of the Establishment.
"The problem," I complained to my patient husband, "is I am sick and tired of politics. Absolutely sick of it."

"So write about that," he urged. "You can't possibly be the only one."
Well, that patient husband of Patrice was absolutely correct. Patrice isn't the only one that's sick of it. In fact, I am so sick of it, here I am writing about it on a holiday weekend... for whatever reason! Just sayin'...

Why I Hate Politics

It was 8 p.m. on Thursday night. This column is due Friday at noon, and I didn't have the faintest clue what to write about. Oh sure, there was plenty of stuff in the news.

Black America has a Choice to Make ~ By Sonnie Johnson


But I also know Mike Brown didn’t walk on water. He was raised in a system that taught him to hate the police and that they were to be treated as suspect. He had no value in the life of Darren Wilson and that was his Achilles heel. Darren Wilson had a reason to live and he wasn’t going to go quietly. I have a family that is my reason for living and I wouldn’t go quietly either. That’s a colorless value I can never ignore.

So whom do I feel sorry for? Which side do I take? Neither, I know too much to play this game. In fact, I Change the Game. Black America has a choice to make. This year they have seen the outcome of following the Progressives. Next year, I will show them the outcome of following a conservative. I promise we will only burn down buildings with the intention of rebuilding them.
Sonnie will have plenty of allies who happen to be successful, Conservative, and black, such as Dr. Ben Carson, Allen West, and of course, our friend Zo (Alfonzo Rachel), and many more.  She won't be alone, and she will have a lot of material to back up her beliefs. 

Despite having a large number of Conservatives of all races that will be cheering her on, and applauding her obvious aptitude for being a great columnist, Sonnie Johnson will also have to deal with a crowd that isn't quite so pleased with her efforts. In a column by Caroline Schaeffer (about 6 months ago), "Stacey Dash Hired By Fox News, Liberals Once Again Expose Their Intolerance For Black Conservatives," you'll see an excellent illustration of how the left treats blacks that have succeeded on their own merits:
Liberals were quick to expose their intolerance of a minority who holds conservative views, calling her a “token” and “self-hating.” The idea that she is a smart, engaging commentator who is appreciated for her contributions? Impossible, they say! It’s only about her race!
The problem for Sonnie, and for all of us on the Conservative side, is that the progressive mentality is already baked into the minds of those that we aim to assist in an attitude adjustment. We can do it, but it might take several generations.  That old pendulum takes awhile to swing from slavery to freedom to tyranny to slavery and back to freedom.  It takes time.  But hey, Sonnie Johnson, keep on keeping on!  And always remember this:

The average American is always gong to be afraid to be "different," but once they know that they aren't alone, it's a game changer.  And that goes just fine with, "Change the Game."  Just sayin'...

From Change the Game (CTGHQ.org)



They did it. Progressives kept to their word and burned Ferguson to the ground. The National Guard was held back, while the St. Louis suburbs were set on fire and businesses were looted and destroyed. Shots were fired in the direction of police and law enforcement filled the air with tear gas. Oh what a Progressive legacy…

Who am I supposed to feel sorry for? The tension in Ferguson didn’t spring up over night. If the people of Ferguson would have a good relationship with the police force, they wouldn’t have been ready to riot with a single spark. This entire situation would have been prevented if the citizens and law enforcement didn’t look at each other like suspects.

But that’s the mold Progressive America has created. The police are hit with government statistics that paint black males as violent criminals. They are forced to act upon those statistics. Therefore, they look at black males with more caution.

Stupidity reconsidered ~ By Dr. Ben Carson

There is no question that the American people are distracted by sports and entertainment and that we confer godlike status on actors and some athletes. There is also no question that we could do more to enhance our knowledge about important issues. However, to assume that the American people are stupid and uncaring and to design programs and speeches around that assumption is arrogant, disrespectful and, frankly, very shortsighted. As has famously been said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”

This most recent revelation by the unmasking of one of the chief architects of Obamacare is far from the first and only indication of a pattern of deception and manipulation by the current administration. There appears to be overt contempt for the intelligence of the populace by people who would have us believe that the Benghazi disaster was caused by an ill-defined and little-watched video, and that there was not even a smidgen of evidence of wrongdoing surrounding the “phony” Internal Revenue Service scandal, and that the government would never engage in spying on its own citizens without cause. Unfortunately, the administration knows that it can say virtually anything, and that there are some people who are so desperate to believe that it will be accepted as truth. They also know that many members of the mainstream media subscribe to their same ideology and will protect them, regardless of the consequences.
Do you know the difference between Dr. Benjamin Carson and Jonathan Gruber or Barack Obama? Dr. Carson is actually very intelligent, unlike Gruber or the President, and has many great accomplishments under his belt to prove his credibility. As a neurosurgeon, he has helped many people, mostly children. Gruber or the President?  Not so much.

Even better, he doesn't look down at all of us "stupid people." In fact, should he decide to run for President in 2016, he DEPENDS on us being intelligent enough to not fall for any further deceptions from the left-wing politicians and sycophantic mainstream media. But whether or not we stay diligently tuned in to what is actually happening in this world, is up to us.  Just sayin'...

Stupidity reconsidered
Ben Carson: Obama team will be proved wrong about intellect of the American people
Dr. Ben Carson

By Dr. Ben Carson

Published November 18th, 2014

From WND.com Commentary



Jonathan Gruber set off a firestorm of controversy, at least in the conservative media, with the recent revelation of his comments about the “stupidity of the American people,” which allowed the Affordable Care Act to be passed. In essence, he admitted that the bill was written in a way that would allow its purveyors to characterize it as the cure-all and salvation for a health-care system that was in trouble, with no danger of their deception being discovered by a populace that is trusting and naive. He obviously never intended for his comments to make it into the public sphere and did not consider the fact that someone is always recording on a smartphone.

What is truly disturbing is the fact that our government is willing to engage in the purposeful deception of the populace in order to thrust its secretive agenda onto an unsuspecting populace and a sycophantic mainstream media. As I have said many times before, Obamacare was never about health care; it was about government control and wealth redistribution. If there were real concern about the uninsured, it would have been much cheaper and considerably less complex to simply give all of the uninsured Cadillac health plans for life. I am a firm believer that health-care reform was and is needed, and I have been advocating for it for several years. It needs to be done correctly, though, and in a way that does not create different levels of access and treatment.

Ben Carson: 2016 election may not happen ~ By Bob Unruh

He said, “There’s no telling what could happen in just a couple of years, and particularly where we’re in a situation that we have a Senate and a Senate leader who has over 300 bills sitting on his desk. He will not bring them to the floor for a vote.”

He described that as thwarting the will of the people and instead of having government conform to the people, having the people conform to the “will of the government.”

The following video is from Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, and includes the portion that Bob Unruh is discussing in this story. There are a few other cuts in the segment that I also include which lead me to the opinion that Dr. Carson would make a great President of the United States. Well, that is, if there IS an election in 2016! Just sayin'...



Ben Carson: 2016 election may not happen
Likely GOP candidate warns 'there is the potential' because of growing 'anarchy'
By Bob Unruh

Published: September 29, 2014

From wnd.com

All that talk about the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton’s innuendos, Rand Paul’s ideas, Chris Christie’s suggestions – may be all for naught.

“I hope that that is not going to be the case. But certainly there is the potential,” said Dr. Ben Carson, who was director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital and became famous for his groundbreaking work in separating conjoined twins. He is now firmly established as a superstar among conservatives across America.

Dr. Ben Carson
There may not even be a 2016 president election, according to one man who is a likely contender.

He was responding to a question from Fox News interviewer Chris Wallace, who quoted Carson’s own statement that “there might not actually be elections in 2016…”

“Do you really believe that?” Wallace asked.

VIDEO: The Liberal's War on Black Conservatives

On Monday, March 31, 2014, I wrote the following in, "VIDEO: Why do Liberals attack black Conservatives?":
The black community needs honesty. The black Conservatives will provide the honesty that they need, but it is going to be difficult to get people to find out about the truth with the bombardment of the disinformation from people like Jamilah Lemieux that spew out their anti-Conservative disparagement, even when the messenger is black.
I was very happy to see Sean Hannity have both Juan Williams, a Fox News Political Analyst, and his son Raffi Williams, an RNC Deputy Press Secy, on as guests on Tuesday, April 1, 2014.  It was almost if they had read my above statement. However, Raffi says that he has received a lot of support, even from black liberals, and seems to be pretty emboldened, feeling that he's doing the right thing. And even though their ideologies are on opposite sides, you can tell that Raffi's biggest supporter is his dad, Juan Williams. Just sayin'...

Ben Carson: Obama officials 'acting like Gestapo' ~ By Joseph Farah

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., called the D’Souza indictment “100 percent” political.

“Of course it is,” she said. “It is payback from the DOJ. Plus, it sends a signal to anyone else for 2016 who may be thinking of producing a movie. It is up to the candidate to return the money. This should have been found when the FEC filing occurred. I don’t know the details, but this could cost Dinesh literally millions in legal defense fees, plus destroying his name and making him toxic to conservatives and Republicans. These are the goals of the political destruction machine at the DOJ.”

Likewise, Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, told WND, “Yes, I think it is political. It fits a pattern of abuse of power. As someone else said, President Obama is the president Nixon wanted to be.”
I normally write my thoughts in these blogs. In this case, I'll let the video you will see below speak for me.

Ben Carson, family and friends target of IRS harassment for criticizing Obama ~ By Joe Newby
On Monday, Dr. Benjamin Carson, the former director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, said he and his family were targeted by the IRS in retribution for comments critical of Barack Obama, Newsmax reported.

According to Carson, audits and other harassment began in May or June of 2013, just a few months after his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Gradually, he added, the harassment expanded to include family members, associates, and his charitable endeavors.  READ MORE >



Ben Carson: Obama officials 'acting like Gestapo'
'We're dealing with an extremely corrupt administration'
Joseph Farah


By Joseph Farah

Published February 7th, 2014

From WND.com

Dr. Ben Carson
WASHINGTON – Dr. Ben Carson, the brain surgeon turned popular political analyst, told WND Obama administration officials are “acting like the Gestapo” with the Justice Department indictment of Dinesh D’Souza coupled with the Internal Revenue Service’s political targeting of the administration’s critics.

“I believe we are dealing with an extremely corrupt administration,” he said.

Dr. Carson himself became the subject of an IRS audit after criticizing Barack Obama’s policies at the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington last year.

“I’ve always been someone who has been very careful about my finances and the way I take care of my business,” said Dr. Carson. “I’ve never undergone this kind of scrutiny before, but then it comes after the prayer breakfast. They’re harassing my family. They’re harassing my colleagues. And they’re not finding anything – so that just makes them dig a little deeper.”

In a telephone interview today, Dr. Carson, who is talked about as a potential new brand of non-politician presidential candidate himself in 2016, said he was also disturbed by Obama’s comments in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly before the Super Bowl game last week.

“What he said was that his administration was not guilty of any wrongdoing with regard to the IRS and he blamed Fox News for reporting it,” Dr. Carson said. “I don’t think he would be happy unless Fox News were shut down and there was no more criticism of his actions.”

Learn to Challenge the Status Quo ~ By Dr. Ben Carson

I can't remember how many times during my medical career I was told, "You can't do that; no one has done that before" or "Do you think all the incredibly bright people who have preceded you didn't think of that?" Certainly, if I had listened to those comments instead of critically analyzing the problems and using the triumphs and mistakes of others to produce innovative solutions, my career path would have been considerably different.

We have these magnificent brains with outstanding reasoning ability in order to be creative and to critically analyze what we hear and see. We must stop acting like pawns and start acting like masters of our own destiny.  ~~ Dr. Ben Carson
This is where I introduce Dr. Benjamin Carson to this blog. I became aware of him early last year. In 1984, he was named director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Children¹s Center, a position he retired from on June 30, 2013. Released early in 2012, Dr. Carson's fifth book, "America The Beautiful," made The New York Times best-seller list. Dr. Carson has made frequent appearances on Fox News. I've included a very recent segment where he was talking with Neil Cavuto about problems with ObamaCare:


When you see the video above, and read the column, I'm sure that you'll easily understand why I need to include Dr. Carson and his wisdom in this blog. We can not afford to remain pawns, but we will if we remain too complacent to take any action. This country needs people like Dr. Ben Carson to lead by example. It's time for us to quit being pawns, because it isn't just a game of chess we're talking about here. It's our freedom.



Learn to Challenge the Status Quo

Dr. Ben Carson

By Dr. Ben Carson

Friday, 03 Jan 2014 11:14 AM





In the game of chess, pawns are just used for the purposes of the royal pieces. In real life, many in power selfishly use "pawns" — average citizens — while at the same time vociferously proclaiming that they are the only ones looking out for the interests of the pawns, who happily follow their commands, thinking that this "royal" contingent has their interests in mind.

However, in a chess game, a pawn can become any one of the royal pieces, if it can make it to the other side of the board. The opponent will do almost anything to keep one from reaching its goal, because that would interfere with the power structure. If they can keep the pawns on their side of the board, where it is much safer, the status quo can be maintained.

Although no analogy is perfect, it is pretty easy to see the point here. By keeping large groups of Americans complacent and afraid of challenging authority, the position, wealth, and status of those in power is secure. The last thing they want is for independent-thinking citizens to realize that this country was designed for them and not for an arrogant ruling class. They dread the possibility of people scrutinizing their words and deeds, and holding them accountable for the same.

By using strong-arm tactics and a sheepishly compliant news media, the supposed guardians of truth, they have become very successful at pawn control.
