~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
There is a pattern here and as expected, all roads leading back to Barack Obama, Arne Duncan and Eric Holder’s so-called PROMISE program, of which is supposed to eliminate the “public school-to-prison pipeline.”
The PROMISE program is just another social justice illusion and as all things involving social justice, it does the opposite of what it label claims.
Enter the Parkland mass shooting that occurred earlier this year at Marjory Stoneman High School but since the PROMISE program is not really about anything but indoctrination and the enslavement of young minds, those who died during the mass shooting are considered in the eyes of those hiding their true agenda as collateral damage.
Fortunately, the truth has a habit of coming to light.
On Wednesday February 14th, 2018 at approximately 2:21pm, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and wounding 17 survivors.
While many immediately pushed for gun control in the aftermath of this horrible mass slaughter, recent information has made a strong case for a different change in policy.
In 2011-2012, Broward County Public Schools had 1,056 total student arrests – 71% for misdemeanor offenses. These were the highest overall numbers in the state of Florida.
After concerns over “students of color, students with disabilities and LGBTQ students” being “disproportionately impacted by school-based arrests” – the PROMISE program was created in 2013. Standing for Preventing Recidivism through Opportunities, Mentoring, Interventions, Supports & Education – the PROMISE program was specifically implemented in an effort to “eliminate the school-to-prison pipeline.” After the implementation of the PROMISE program, Broward County Public School arrests dropped from 1,056 students in 2011-2012, to only 392 during the 2015-2016 school year.
It’s axiomatic that the American Left, and therefore, also the Democrat Party, NEVER does anything spontaneously.
For those of you new to political optics, you got a taste of this with the aftermath of the Parkland Florida school shooting. Certain teenage “survivors” were prompted to step forward into the spotlight within 24 hours, their lines already practiced, deliver-ready.
Just 24 hours after the shooting, Rush Limbaugh, of all people, remarked about how composed and adult-like the students were, when they were only canned.
Thanks to the ineptitude of CNN and the hamfisted way they handled their “town hall”, with a couple of students letting the cat out of the bag that they had been fed the questions and answers by CNN before the event, the public got to come away understanding who all the players are, and the interactive roles they have with one another: from 1) the front-line gullible, useful idiots, in this case high school kids, but in others, their teachers, to 2) the cynical enablers (for many years now, the media) to 3) the dark leftwing strategists and 4) deep pocket financiers.
You can make your own scorecard at home.
That has been the general scheme of recruitment and operations for the Left since the 1800s, and it amazes me that so many of our honorable political class don’t know who these people really are, and look at them in entirely different, and more dangerously innocent ways.
If you don’t remember Occupy New York, 2011-2012, it is with us still, only a second edition, Occupy the Sequel. It began as a “laboratory-designed” spontaneous counter-agent to the genuinely spontaneous Tea Party, who romped through the 2010 midterms like wild geese in winter, returning House control to the GOP.
(So very long ago, and Republicans’ memories so very short.)
In St Louis, at Washington University hundreds or even thousands of young people were invited to camp out, with the standard inducements, beer, sex and doobies, to attend seminars about how to set up tents in New York, Oakland, and several cities around the county (mostly blue) and engage in political activism at a level they’d never really considered. Many were genuinely jobless, while others simply had degrees in Underwater Basket Weaving, with some talk hints back home that Mom and Dad were a little unhappy, after $75,000, they were still living at home[…]
I meant the to post some of this content yesterday but Saturday got away from me as I was catching up on three days of CPAC 2018, footage of which I will begin posting tomorrow.
However, before getting to Grumpy Daily Headlines, I thought it worth sharing with you two videos. The first is a video of President Ronald Reagan’s February 11, 1988 CPAC Speech: ‘On The Frontier of Freedom’ which is immediately followed by President Donald J. Trump’s CPAC speech this past Friday (2/23/2018).
And one for the books. Enter Candace Owens and her review of the movie, “Black Panther” which would surely cause the likes of Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter to blow their tops.
While Sheriff Israel was getting grilled by Jake Tapper this morning on CNN, Dana Loesch was being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos and HOLY MOLY, this woman is tough as nails.
NRA spokesperson @DLoesch on the missed signals for the Florida school shooter: “I wish that as much attention were given to the Broward County Sheriff and their abdication of duty as trying to blame five million innocent, law-abiding gun owners all across the country.” #ThisWeekpic.twitter.com/qxItC0KsMH
Last week, was rough on patriot, Dana Loesch, yet she stood firm. Not that it would make Loesch feel any better but Scott Israel spent a half-hour sweating, playing blame games and stuttering his way through Jake Tapper’s CNN-Sotu this morning.
I’m not a student of school shootings, except to take note of the shooters, many of whom, from Virginia Tech to Sandy Hook in Connecticut to even Dylan Roof in South Carolina, were mentally ill but able to get a gun anyway, only not so much because of their easy availability as to fatal flaws in the bureaucratic system that were designed to prevent the mentally unstable to get weapons. Bureaucracies do that, which is why there can never be any kind of gun “control”.
A decade has gone by since Virginia Tech and most of the gaps in mental health awareness from that event remain unfilled because the Left’s anti-gun lobby continue to keep their eyes fixed on solving a problem of their ethereal Utopian world of World Order, totally disarming a constitutionally-protected armed populace.
As long as fractures in mental health protections fail, they can continue to keep their eye on the larger prize.
So it will be with the shooting in Broward County, Florida, at Margery Stoneman Douglas High School near Ft Lauderdale. We know where the media and the Left will take this; 1) denying access to guns, and 2) a failure of due diligence by local officials at the school and local police to identify several hundreds of thousands 18-20 year old kids of looking and dressing scary, talking big on social media, making broad statements about shooting and mayhem, but falling short of “legal threats” (as the FBI found with Cruz), and in some way interdict them.
Leftists believe anyone who disagrees with them, much less picks up a gun, is mentally deficient or mentally disturbed. This in turn justifies some sort of physical constraints and invasion of privacy.
I’m not sure how long it will take for public pressure to cause the Parkland school and police to kneel at the foot of political correctness and admit that they should implement new programs to more quickly identify angry young kids, white males at least, so as to give the rest of the community a heads-up every-time that kid walks down the street.
I’m sure that’s what the political Left would like to see happen, which is how they see mass shootings; an opportunity for some small victory[…]
Franz Kafka’s “The Trial” – Film, Literature & The New World Order (screenshot)
What are the odds that social media bias against Conservatives has elevated to the point that Twitter (and Facebook) used its algorithms to engineer a honey pot, minefield of alleged Russian bots to ensnare Conservatives?
What if bad actors among the alt-left are being paid to double as Russian bots, follow, like and retweet Conservative content again, to ensnare Conservatives?
Why? To pave the way for Twitter (and Facebook) to purge Conservative accounts before the 2018 mid-term election season kicks into high gear and the 2020 presidential election season? It is possible that I am overthinking this but I doubt it.
Before you read any further, note that I am not questioning the events that occurred last week in Parkland, Florida but I am questioning the players who in their manipulation of the victims and the families are doing what Progressives do best, i.e., never letting a good crisis go to waste.
Moving on…
This morning, I awoke to 80* less Twitter followers while other Conservatives with Twitter accounts awoke to 800+ less followers in addition to finding themselves locked out of their Twitter accounts last evening (Tuesday, February 21, 2018).
The lockouts appeared to haven been synchronized with yesterday’s breaking news reports that Russian bots since last week’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School were collectively spreading fake news.
As a result, Twitter locked out and/or suspended thousands of account under the guise that the accounts were Russian bots who for several days now tweeted and retweeted under the hash tags #guncontrolnow, #Parklandshooting, #gunreformnow, #DavidHogg and #CNN.
The title of the Wired News’ report gave one the impression that Russian trolls or bots were solely pro-gun, i.e., a not so subtle way of inferring that Russian trolls or bots are pushing pro-Trump, pro-gun, pro-alt-right news.
In the wake of Wednesday’s Parkland, Florida, school shooting, which resulted in 17 deaths, troll and bot-tracking sites reported an immediate uptick in related tweets from political propaganda bots and Russia-linked Twitter accounts. Hamilton 68, a website created by Alliance for Securing Democracy, tracks Twitter activity from accounts it has identified as linked to Russian influence campaigns. As of morning, shooting-related terms dominated the site’s trending hashtags and topics, including Parkland, guncontrolnow, Florida, guncontrol, and Nikolas Cruz, the name of the alleged shooter. Popular trending topics among the bot network include shooter, NRA, shooting, Nikolas, Florida, and teacher[…]
Twitter’s Deep State Alliance – Control the Narrative By Any Means
I suspect that it was the tweets about alleged Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student, David Hogg, who many suspect is a crisis actor or at least not who he presents himself to be that sent Twitter over the edge.
Hogg is also the son of a former FBI agent as well which in this day’s climate and the findings of this nation’s beloved deep state only served to raise more questions about Hogg’s agenda. The fact that he is well-scripted and fake news CNN’s favorite does not help.
Yeah, sure. What better way to prove one’s legitimacy than to plead one’s case on America’s premier fake news channel, CNN and to be interviewed by, of all people, CIA operative and front man, Anderson Cooper with one’s father, a former FBI agent by his son’s side.
SCRIPTED!
Anderson,
Don Jr did NOT “Like” a tweet containing a “conspiracy theory” regarding the school shooting.
Delete this defamatory tweet immediately!

Dog whistle for “Who are you going to believe? Me, or your lying eyes?”
Anti-Gun, Anti-Second Amendment groups and Communist Media Complex act to Control the Narrative
Determined to silence the voices of Americans unwilling to give up their firearms, the Second Amendment, not buying a narrative that has been repeatedly shoved down our throats the past nine years, Twitter locked down and/or began purging (a) thousands of twitter accounts and (b) their followers.
Why? To control the narrative.
What else did these accounts have in common? Many, correction, the majority from what I can tell are legitimate Conservative twitter accounts belonging to those who called out the dog and pony show. Enter this Wednesday morning: #Twitterlockout which began trending this morning.
Alleged Russian bot, MicroMeatPatty (@TEN_GOP_1) was removed (see screenshot below).
If you noticed, MicroMeatPatty’s Russia location, as “Moscow, Russia,” allow me to point out that left-wing accounts who tweeted under the same hashtags and appear themselves to be a bot, if not Russian bot remain untouched. In fact, I found at least one other account that appears to be a Russian bot or troll, location “Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia” that as of this moment that is still live.
Meet LaGunaBeachAntifa9 (@LagBeachAntifa9), a Progressive “Russian bot” or so he claims.
Russian Bot or Honey Pot?
According to LaGunaBeachAntifa9 (@LagBeachAntifa9)’s profile, he or she is from “Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia” yet the account has not been removed. Even more suspicious is that this account which happens to be only a few days old has only one follower. (Note to self: “Unfollow Anonymous.”)
What are the odds that Twitter and Facebook have created their own bots or have secured the assistance of Progressives (Antifa?) to lure in Conservatives like lambs to the slaughter.
1. Since when does clicking on the location beneath a Twitter profile lead to other tweets from the same location? Clicking on a website linked to a Twitter account almost always leads one to the designated website connected to that account or as I experienced a few hours ago, “malware.
When clicking on, “Krasnoyarsk, Russia” one is immediately taken to a page containing tweets in Russian, Ukrainian and English. Most of it appears to be spam or millennial gibberish and as I pointed out, one or two of the links lead to malware.
2. What if the existence of similar profiles is a honey pot intended to ensnare Conservative accounts that would enable Twitter to allege that these accounts violated Twitter’s rules and terms of service? The endgame of which would be to discredit, silence and ultimately purge Conservatives from Twitter.
Coincidence?
Kafkayesque?
