Awan Brothers and Clinton Ties

The Clinton ties run deep.  They have hands all over the Awan brothers.
“The Imran Awan case is certainly of considerable interest not only for what the investigation eventually turns up but also for what it reveals about how things actually work in congress and in the government more generally speaking. I don’t know which of the allegations about what might have taken place are true, but there is certainly a lot to consider”
Talk about a swamp …
This article hits hard at the uber-conservative think tank “The Heritage Foundation.”  It’s a lengthy read parsing many facets of the Foundation’s “Blue Prints” as set forth in their “Mandate for Leadership series.”  In summary, the article claims:
“Although the Heritage “Blueprint” contains many good policy proposals, it is still a blueprint for a welfare-warfare state with a government that is anything but limited.”
While the article does not provide any discussion of progressive/liberal policies, it does make this conclusion:
The only difference between liberals and conservatives — and everyone in between — is the degree to which they deviate on any particular issue from the libertarian philosophy of liberty, property, and peace. On some issues it is liberals who diverge more; on other issues it is conservatives who stray further; and on most issues they both deviate considerably from the libertarian standard.”
NASA is a ridiculous pursuit for a government. 
“… government funding of space exploration crowds out private efforts, space exploration is not authorized by the Constitution, space exploration is not a proper function of government, and no one knows how many tens or hundreds of billions of dollars a mission to Mars would ultimately cost.

Conservatives who say that the federal government has no business providing health care and welfare are woefully inconsistent when they support a government-run and government-financed space program. But wait a minute. I guess they are perfectly consistent since even though they say those things they vote for them anyway.”

Staying at home for emotional reasons after the Google employee memo is hilarious.  Literally plays into every female stereotype. 
“Ironically, the women too "upset" to go into work over a science and evidence-backed note are indeed playing into the worst gender stereotypes of all — the overly-emotional and irrational woman — and inadvertently proving what they are so fiercely attempting to deny: men and women are different.”
The biggest problem with the lefty #resistance is the increased chance of nuclear war with Russia.
“Yet, the neocons have achieved perhaps their greatest success by merging Cold War Russo-phobia with the Trump Derangement Syndrome to enlist liberals and even progressives into the neocon drive for more ‘regime change’ wars.

There can be no doubt that the escalation of sanctions against Russia and Iran will have the effect of escalating geopolitical tensions with those two important countries and making war, even nuclear war, more likely.”

And for my personal plug for this blog and it’s purpose, I provide this quote as well:

Just because a lot of Important People keep repeating the same allegation doesn’t make the allegation true or ‘well-documented.’ And skepticism should be raised even higher when there is a clear political motive for pushing a falsehood as truth, as we should have learned from President George W. Bush’s Iraq-WMD fallacies and from President Barack Obama’s wild exaggerations about the need to intervene in Libya to prevent a massacre of civilians.
