Socialism Is Dying Everywhere from Europe to South America – Except in the US Socialism is failing all over the world. In Socialist Venezuela they’re now eating pigeons, cats and street dogs for sustenance. venezuela food lineThe food lines start at 5 AM in Venezuela. So leave it to American leftists to push this failed, evil doctrine in the United States. Investor’s Business Daily reported: Socialism: Around the world, nations that have been foolish enough to adopt socialist policies either collapsed or are well on their way to doing so. Why, then, are so many in the U.S. enthralled with the idea? A quick look at the world’s countries in direst economic shape reveals that many, if not most, have one thing in common: They rely on top-down socialist control, rather than free markets, to run their economies. The former, history amply shows, are doomed to fail. There are no long-term socialist success stories. None. France, for instance, elected a socialist, Francois Hollande, as president in 2012. Today, France suffers a 10.3% jobless rate and 25% youth unemployment. Growth is less than 1% . To France’s credit, it’s recently recognized that the job market must be reformed to give businesses more incentives to hire and train new workers. Brazil, meanwhile, impeached Socialist President Dilma Rousseff for corruption, but her damage to the economy will last. As recently as 2010, Brazil was considered a bright star. It was awarded both an Olympics and a World Cup because of it. Last year, as Rousseff’s massive borrowing and spending choked the economy, GDP shrank 3.8% and joblessness soared. Interim President Michel Temer has vowed to roll back Rousseff’s socialism. Then there’s Venezuela’s nightmare. After the death of socialist dictator Hugo Chavez, his successor kept socialist policies in place. Today, as even the liberal Atlantic Monthly admits, “Venezuela is falling apart.” Shortages of food, energy and such basic commodities as toilet paper are rampant. The government has imposed a two-day workweek to save money. Riots, thefts and blackouts are common. Once oil-rich, Venezuelans now forage dirty streets for food — including stray dogs and cats. Farther south, Argentina’s economy was run into the ground by leftist populist President Cristina Kirchner. Newly elected centrist President Mauricio Macri has stabilized the economy, fixed the nation’s finances, and has returned to global debt markets for the first time since the nation defaulted 15 years ago. The economy is again growing. Get the picture? Socialism is a failure, a brutal one. In its name, during the 21st century, millions of people were impoverished and disenfranchised, while over 100 million were murdered. www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/05/socialism-dying-failing-everywhere-except-us/Article from May 2016 and its now way worse look at Venezuela for proof...

www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/john-mccains-funeral-was-the-biggest-resistance-meeting-yetDonald Trump’s name was never mentioned. It didn’t have to be. The funeral service for John Sidney McCain III, at the Washington National Cathedral, on this swampy Saturday morning, was all about a rebuke to the pointedly uninvited current President of the United States, which was exactly how McCain had planned it. ...... But McCain knew that would not be the headline from the grand service, whose many details he personally oversaw. This was to be no mere laying to rest of a Washington wise man, nor just another funeral of an elder statesman whose passing would be marked by flowery words about the end of an era. It was a meeting of the Resistance, under vaulted ceilings and stained-glass windows. ........ When Bush talked about McCain’s dedication to America’s leadership in the world and his hatred of tyrants, how many of those listening thought of the current President’s praise for many of those same dictators whom McCain had been so proud to oppose? Of course, they thought of it. That was the point. .......... www.npr.org/2018/09/02/644085137/sunday-politics-mccain-naftaLIASSON: That's right. McCain pointedly invited these two former presidents, former adversaries of his. They both defeated him in presidential elections. He pointedly did not invite the current occupant of the White House. No one mentioned Donald Trump's name yesterday, but the entire service was an implicit rebuke to him. And that's how John McCain planned it. When John McCain's daughter Meghan stood up and said the America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great, she got a huge round of applause. That just doesn't happen at funerals. One writer said the gathering at the cathedral was a giant meeting of the resistance.

I care because he was in on the fake dossier. They want him to be untouchable after death so when his name comes up involved they will scream hero hero hero. Its a chess game. His vet/pow status does not give him a free pass for the last several decades. This coming from a Navy vet too. If I did bad things you think my service would get me out of them? Not a chance and I would not expect it either. He is no different, and he was involved in a coup attempt thru his dossier connections at the least.

www.nationalreview.com/news/former-senator-jon-kyl-will-succeed-john-mccain/Former U.S. senator Jon Kyl will succeed former senator John McCain, the Arizona Republic reported on Tuesday. Arizona governor Doug Ducey announced Kyl’s appointment at the Arizona capitol on Tuesday morning. Kyl, who represented Arizona in the Senate for 18 years before retiring in 2013, has reportedly agreed to serve through the end of the year at a minimum. Kyl shares McCain’s conservative bona fides and is viewed by the Ducey administration as the obvious choice to complete McCain’s unfinished business due his years of Senate experience. “There is no one in Arizona more prepared to represent our state in the U.S. Senate than Jon Kyl,” Ducey said in a statement. “He understands how the Senate functions and will make an immediate and positive impact benefiting all Arizonans. I am deeply grateful to Senator Kyl for agreeing to succeed his friend and colleague of so many years.” Kyl, who could be sworn in as soon as Tuesday night, was asked to consider succeeding his longtime friend and colleague just hours after McCain passed away Saturday night following his battle with brain cancer. Cindy McCain, who was reportedly consulted during the search process, celebrated Kyl’s appointment in a statement on Tuesday morning. “Jon Kyl is a dear friend of mine and John’s. It’s a great tribute to John that he is prepared to go back into public service to help the state of Arizona,” she tweeted shortly after it became clear that Kyl would succeed her husband. The veteran lawmaker will take his seat in Washington as the Senate considers the nomination of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Him resigning in time to allow the people to speak, via an election as the other states are running, would have made the most sense, but since we don’t have that option anymore...
