Last Stop On The Cain Train

I was driving home after playing hockey yesterday when I got the call .
My partner called to ask me if I had heard the news .
Herman Cain had passed away .
I first met Herman Cain in February of 2011 at CPAC in Washington , DC .
It was easy to be impressed by him .
His smile could light up a room .
His energy was infectious .
While I thought Mr. Cain was a fantastic human being and a tremendous asset to the conservative movement , I wasn ’ t immediately sold on the idea of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I was Chairman of the Board and co-founder of the now defunct group GOProud .
A conservative alternative to the Log Cabin Republicans .
In July of that year , my partner and I were heading out to Las Vegas for a few days .
I got a message before we left from Cain ’ s campaign , asking me if I would be interested in meeting with Mr. Cain when I was in Vegas .

Cain had set off a mini controversy in the months before our meeting over whether or not he would appoint a Muslim to his cabinet .
Interestingly enough , when Cain was asked whether or not he would appoint an openly gay person to his cabinet , he didn ’ t hesitate to say yes he would .
Cain wasted no time bringing these dual “ controversies ” to my attention .
He said when people ask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he might be uncomfortable with a Muslim in his cabinet but perfectly fine with a gay person , Cain smiled and said , “ I tell them the last time I checked , gay people weren ’ t flying airplanes into buildings.

Of course not .

Cain’s Approach
After meeting with Cain, I went from skeptic to enthusiastic supporter. It was all aboard the Cain train and what a ride it would be.
Years before Donald Trump won over Republican voters – and indeed the country – with his tell-it-like-it-is approach, there was Herman Cain.
When I met with Cain, he was an asterisk in most opinion polls. By October and November of that year, however, Cain was at the top of the GOP pack. His 9-9-9 tax plan, his outsider status, his incredible resume, and his style made him the perfect foil to the establishment’s favorite – Mitt Romney.
While Cain came up short in his quest for the Republican nomination. His candidacy, and his plain-spoken every man style, helped pave the way for Donald Trump in 2016.
Cain not only left a mark on the conservative movement, it is clear he left a spur in the back end of the main stream media and the American left.
Main Stream Media Jump All Over Him
Headline after headline from main stream media outlets after Cain’s death from COVID-19 insisted on mentioning that Cain opposed mask mandates. Does anyone reading this think there is any chance those same outlets will note how morbidly obese Jerry Nadler was in headlines after he dies? Of course not.
The media posted photo after photo of a mask-less Cain at Trump’s Oklahoma rally, ghoulishly trying to tie Trump to Cain’s death.
The liberal blue check mark brigade on Twitter was even more vile. Liberals gleefully cheered Cain’s passing.
Their hate for Herman Cain was nothing new and Cain knew exactly why the left hated him.
In a 2015 interview, Cain said:
“There is only one group of people liberals hate worse than conservatives, and that’s conservatives who happen to be black…. The reason for that is real simple. They resent conservatives who happen to be black for leaving the Democratic plantation. And you can quote me on that.”
In some strange way, I think maybe Mr. Cain is looking down and chuckling. Even in death, Herman Cain is pissing off all the right people.
Rest in peace Mr. Cain.

Not content to side with China over suffering American citizens, Feinstein began angling for a role in China’s PR shop.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-31--Dr. Fauci Suggests Americans Wear Goggles To Protect Against Coronavirus

It ’ s not enough for Dr. Anthony Fauci that Americans are being forced to wear masks to protect them from coronavirus .
Now , he wants them to wear goggles as well…for added protection .
“ If you have goggles or an eye shield , you should use it , ” Fauci told on Wednesday .
When asked if eye protection like goggles will become an official recommendation at some point , Fauci said , “ it might , if you really want perfect protection of the mucosal surfaces.
” Fauci , who is a member of the White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , went on to explain his reasoning behind recommending eye protection .
“ You have mucosa in the nose , mucosa in the mouth , but you also have mucosa in the eye , ” he said .
“ Theoretically , you should protect all the mucosal surfaces .
So if you have goggles or an eye shield you should use it.

It’s not enough for Dr. Anthony Fauci that Americans are being forced to wear masks to protect them from coronavirus. Now, he wants them to wear goggles as well…for added protection.
“If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it,” Fauci told ABC News on Wednesday.
When asked if eye protection like goggles will become an official recommendation at some point, Fauci said, “it might, if you really want perfect protection of the mucosal surfaces.”
Fauci, who is a member of the White House pandemic task force and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, went on to explain his reasoning behind recommending eye protection.
“You have mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye,” he said. “Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces. So if you have goggles or an eye shield you should use it.”
Fauci went on to explain that while goggles and eye or face shields are “not universally recommended” at this time, “if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can.”
He later discussed when people should get tested if they think they have been exposed to COVID-19, given the fact that there are no official guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on this situation.
“That question came up at the task force meeting yesterday and we asked the same thing and we said there’s no real recommendation,” Fauci said.
“I would think that five [days] is good. I might even go a day or so early because the incubation period of when you get symptoms is about five days,” he continued, adding that the window is “no earlier than three [days] or no later than five or six.”
Fauci also said that he remains hopeful that wearing masks will limit the spread of the flu in the fall.
“It is inevitable that we’re going to have some degree of flu,” he said. “I’m hoping that the wearing of masks and other coverings are going to not only protect us against COVID-19, but also help protect us against influenza.”

Catholic Bishop Shuts Down AOC After She Disrespects Catholic Saint Who Sacrificed His Life To Serve People With Leprosy

A Catholic bishop just fired back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-N.Y. ) after she disparaged a legendary Catholic saint .
Ocasio-Cortez was slamming various statues at the U.S. Capitol that she claims represent “ colonizers and settlers ” when she called out St. Damien of Molokai as an example of “ white supremacist culture.
” She said in part , according to The Blaze : Even when we select figures to tell the stories of colonized places , it is the colonizers and settlers whose stories are told — and virtually no one else .
Check out Hawaii ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Queen Lili ’ uokalani of Hawaii , the only Queen Regnant of Hawaii , who is immortalized and whose story is told .
It is Father Damien .
This isn ’ t to litigate each and every individual statue , but to point out the patterns that have emerged among the totality of them in who we are taught to deify in our nation ’ s Capitol : virtually all men , all white , and mostly both .
This is what patriarchy and white supremacist culture looks like !
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influence white supremacist culture has historically had in our overall culture & how it impacts the present day .
Ocasio-Cortez ’ s comments were odd given the fact that Damien was a 19th century priest from Belgium who gave his life to care for people suffering from leprosy in Hawaii , as he eventually died of the disease himself .
Los Angeles-based bishop Robert Barron fired back at Ocasio-Cortez by calling her comments “ so crazy and outrageous.

A Catholic bishop just fired back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) after she disparaged a legendary Catholic saint.
Ocasio-Cortez was slamming various statues at the U.S. Capitol that she claims represent “colonizers and settlers” when she called out St. Damien of Molokai as an example of “white supremacist culture.” She said in part, according to The Blaze:
Even when we select figures to tell the stories of colonized places, it is the colonizers and settlers whose stories are told — and virtually no one else. Check out Hawaii’s statue. It’s not Queen Lili’uokalani of Hawaii, the only Queen Regnant of Hawaii, who is immortalized and whose story is told. It is Father Damien. This isn’t to litigate each and every individual statue, but to point out the patterns that have emerged among the totality of them in who we are taught to deify in our nation’s Capitol: virtually all men, all white, and mostly both. This is what patriarchy and white supremacist culture looks like! It’s not radical or crazy to understand the influence white supremacist culture has historically had in our overall culture & how it impacts the present day.
Ocasio-Cortez’s comments were odd given the fact that Damien was a 19th century priest from Belgium who gave his life to care for people suffering from leprosy in Hawaii, as he eventually died of the disease himself.
Los Angeles-based bishop Robert Barron fired back at Ocasio-Cortez by calling her comments “so crazy and outrageous.”
“To associate this man, in any way, with colonialism or white supremacy is so ridiculous and insulting, and it shows the superficiality and the simplistic quality of these sort of woke categories,” Barron said. “I can’t help but think: Of all the people that could have been singled out … what is it with this attack on Catholic saints?!”
He went on to point out that a statue of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, is still in the U.S. Capitol, yet she chose to single out Damien instead.
“It’s time to get beyond these simplistic categories,” Barron added.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-01--Trump Wins At Supreme Court On Border Wall – ACLU Fuming

The Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote on Friday denied a request by leftwing groups to stop construction of the southern border wall .
The rationale of the plaintiffs was over environmental concerns .
The liberal groups had tried to stop the funding of the wall by other means and also failed .
This was one of their last chances .
Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the conservative majority .
A number of these groups , including the ACLU and Sierra Club , asked the Supreme Court to get involved after the judicial body last year cleared the road @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for wall construction while the case was decided in the courts .
The wall has proceeded apace and illegal immigration has fallen dramatically .
But some still want open borders so illegal aliens will be allowed to vote and thus swing Texas blue , which is the entire and only purpose of this entire issue for the Democrats .
They know without the electoral votes of Texas no Republican will ever be elected president .
Here , a spox for a group that has as its primary concern the civil liberties of many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , comments : “ The fight continues , ” said a staff attorney with the ACLU ’ s National Security Project .
“ Every lower court to consider the question has ruled President Trump ’ s border wall illegal , and the Supreme Court ’ s temporary order does not decide the case .
We ’ ll be back before the Supreme Court soon to put a stop to Trump ’ s xenophobic border wall once and for all.
” Can an inanimate object be xenophobic ?
Apparently it can according to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ This case concerns a protracted and public appropriations debate , irreparable damage to a protected landscape , substantial separation of powers concerns , and the diversion of billions of taxpayer dollars to a project that Congress refused to fund , ” the litigious groups also told the court , to no avail .
“ This Court finds that precedent persuasive , and it compels the conclusion that Plaintiffs ’ complaint fails to state plausible constitutional claims as a matter of law , ” a lower Circuit Court ’ s ruling had said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tried again and came up with another loss .
“ As the government previously explained , halting the construction process during litigation imposes significant costs on DoD , which can be required to reimburse its contractors for the additional expenses that such a delay causes them to incur , ” government lawyers argued .
“ The Court ’ s decision to let construction continue nevertheless I fear , may operate , in effect , as a final judgment , ” liberal Justice Stephen Breyer inadvertently hopefully retorted in the minority opinion .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ majority held firm , with Roberts siding with the Trump administration .
This is not the end of the issue and the administration is in a rush against time to get the wall done by January in case Trump loses .
But if worse comes to worse and Biden wins , he would probably just tear the wall down anyway , and with it , the last vestiges of border security for the southern United States .

Here, a spox for a group that has as its primary concern the civil liberties of many excepting, of course, American taxpayers, comments:
“The fight continues,” said a staff attorney with the ACLU’s National Security Project. “Every lower court to consider the question has ruled President Trump’s border wall illegal, and the Supreme Court’s temporary order does not decide the case. We’ll be back before the Supreme Court soon to put a stop to Trump’s xenophobic border wall once and for all.”

“This Court finds that precedent persuasive, and it compels the conclusion that Plaintiffs’ complaint fails to state plausible constitutional claims as a matter of law,” a lower Circuit Court’s ruling had said in this case. But the Left tried again and came up with another loss.

“The Court’s decision to let construction continue nevertheless I fear, may operate, in effect, as a final judgment,” liberal Justice Stephen Breyer inadvertently hopefully retorted in the minority opinion. But this time the fragile five-member conservative court majority held firm, with Roberts siding with the Trump administration.
This is not the end of the issue and the administration is in a rush against time to get the wall done by January in case Trump loses. But if worse comes to worse and Biden wins, he would probably just tear the wall down anyway, and with it, the last vestiges of border security for the southern United States.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reportedly blasted Dr. Deborah Birx on Thursday night during a private meeting with White House officials, going so far as to call the coronavirus task force coordinator “horrible” and “the worst.”
Pelosi complained about Birx to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows during negotiations about more aid for COVID-19, according to Politico.
“Deborah Birx is the worst. Wow, what horrible hands you’re in,” Pelosi said as she accused the doctor of spreading false information about the pandemic.
Pelosi then praised Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert on the coronavirus task force, claiming that he “Came to his senses, and is now a hero.”
This comes weeks after a negative New York Times report came out about Birx, portraying her as someone who just wanted to give President Donald Trump good news about the pandemic.
“A highly regarded infectious diseases expert, she was a constant source of upbeat news for the president and his aides, walking the halls with charts emphasizing that outbreaks were gradually easing,” the report stated.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany fired back at the Times by defending Birx as an “extraordinary doctor,” calling the report an “appalling” story.
“I have not seen anyone poring over data the way Dr. Birx has and the attack on her was frankly appalling and egregious and The New York Times should be very ashamed of themselves,” McEnany said.
Birx was the Unites States’ global AIDS coordinator under Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, and she was tapped to join the coronavirus task force back in February with Dr. Fauci, who was her mentor. Hours before Pelosi attacked her, Birx called for officials to put a mask mandate in place.
“We believe if the governors and mayors of every locality right now would mandate masks for their communities and every American would wear a mask and socially distance and not congregate in large settings where you can’t socially distance or wear a mask, that we can really get control of this virus and drive down cases, as Arizona has done,” she said, according to The Hill.
