The Left Post Trump Victory

The Left Post Trump Victory:
Liberal Heads Explode

By Richard Moss MD

It has been entertaining to watch leftists flailing frantically since the election of Donald Trump. Their contempt for their country and the democratic process could not be more obvious. And nowhere in the media, the Academy, or the Democrat Party, is there even a trace of soul searching or acknowledgement of possible miscues under President Barack Hussein Obama or the Hillary Clinton campaign. In the face of Trump’s historic upset victory, the loss of traditional blue states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and Republican control of both houses of Congress, the left responds as they always have, by mindlessly burping out yet more insults and slurs against Trump and his supporters – those millions of Americans who had once been the backbone of the Democrat party.

The left wing media, in particular, has been apoplectic. They are now an openly corrupt institution that has long since given up the pretense of objectivity. Instead of government watchdog and pillar of democracy charged with overseeing government, the press has become an arm of the government and propaganda wing of the Democrat Party. They exist to flatter one another and advance the PC, leftist narrative. The newsflash is they no longer matter. Reduced to the status of annoying left wing hecklers, they influence no one beyond a shrinking slice of Americans who read the New York Times. Their power to sway the outcome of elections has ended. The wicked witch is dead. Hail to Dorothy! This is great news for the country.
The left didn’t see the wave coming that would inundate them. Their inflated self-regard and contempt for the great unwashed and their quaint notions of nationhood made it impossible for them to recognize it. They didn’t see it in Germany, France and throughout Europe. They didn’t see it in the UK and Brexit. And they didn’t see it in the US.

Americans, like most Europeans, reject transnational globalism, and the effort underway to repeal national identity and culture. Most people, unlike leftists, admire their national history, language and culture and want to preserve them. They also want to maintain their borders. They reject PC tyranny and identity politics that balkanize the country. They shun victimhood and “multiculturalism.” They abhor the pagan Marxist effort to purge differences between the sexes for the benefit of tiny, perpetually aggrieved sexual minorities. They repudiate amnesty, sanctuary cities, Obamacare, and the war on fossil fuels. They reject Syrian Muslim refugees, fake “hate-crimes,” and bad trade deals. They have also had it with being called racist, sexist bigots because they oppose transgendered bathrooms and mass third world immigration.

But the angry left lashes out. The ones who whined about Trump not accepting the results of the election are now denying the legitimacy of his victory. They demand recounts. They condemn the Electoral College. They harass electors. They engage in a moronic witch-hunt against Steve Bannon. They blame the Russians, “fake news,” and Jill Stein. They liken Trump to Hitler while worshipping Castro. George Soros-funded goons riot in the streets. Infantile students demand “safe spaces.” And Democrats are poised to nominate radical, former Nation of Islam member, and anti-Semite, Keith Ellison as their leader. Learning nothing from their defeat, they move further to the left.

The alt-left, the media, and the Democrat Party see their country through the prism of bigotry and oppression. America, for them, is a sweltering cesspool of racism and intolerance. They are the army of saints that will cleanse the nation of its sins. Anyone opposing their noble efforts is by definition, a bigot. The one tool in their toolbox is to slander anyone disagreeing with their failed policies as racists, misogynists, or bigots. They can never grasp the good in America because they are blind to it. For them it is morally stained from its inception. They despise its founding, history, culture, and economic system. They loathe whites, Christians, and heterosexuals, and especially the reviled “straight, white male.” They denigrate coal miners, cops, and the military. But it is they who are the racists and bigots. And they wonder why they lost.

Here is some “real” news for the left. America is the greatest nation in the history of human civilization. It is the most tolerant and least racist country on earth. It embraces the individual, limited government, private property, religious freedom, and free markets. It is the pinnacle of western civilization and model for the rest of the world. If you live in this country, whoever you are, you have won life’s lottery. But the left will never see this.
My sympathies go out to crazed thought police and PC commissars, frantic social justice thugs and student “snowflakes,” and outraged diversicrats and identarian racists everywhere. But after eight years of hardline leftism under Obama, the “deplorables” have had enough.
The joyous sound you hear ringing across the land is leftist heads exploding.

Unemployment Rate Falls to Lowest Point in 15 years

INDIANAPOLIS (December 16, 2016) – Indiana’s unemployment rate decreased by two-tenths of a percent to 4.2 percent in November, which marks its lowest point since 2001. The unemployment rate is a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicator that reflects the number of unemployed people as a percentage of the labor force. Indiana’s total labor force stands at over 3.3 million and the state’s 64.7 percent labor force participation rate stands two percent above the national rate.

“Indiana’s unemployment rate continues to drop while private sector employment continues to grow, which are positive signs for Hoosier workers and jobseekers,” said Steven J. Braun, Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD). “In order for Indiana to remain one of the most appealing states for business in the nation, it is critical that DWD engages and trains potential workers not actively participating in Indiana’s workforce in order to meet employers’ current and future demand for skilled workers.”

Commissioner Braun also noted that private sector employment increased 13,300 over the month and 36,500 over the year. He added that initial unemployment insurance claims remain at the lowest point in over 30 years

Indianapolis Shifts More TIF Risk Onto Developers

Indianapolis Shifts More TIF Risk Onto Developers

“PUBLIC LAW MONITOR” submitted by Joshua Claybourn-Counsel

The city of Indianapolis is putting a new twist on TIF financing to spur real estate projects that would benefit neighborhoods which lack the transformative potential of big downtown projects. Under traditional tax-increment financing (TIF) deals, the city assumes the risk of a bond issue and must make up shortfalls if additional property tax revenue generated in the district falls short of debt payments. However, with some new Indy neighborhood projects, the developer backs the bonds and is on the hook for shortfalls. The move by Indianapolis follows similar deals arranged by Fishers, which is considering a $6.9 million bond to help launch a the 37-acre MedTech Park.

ACLU Challenges Clarksville Yard-Inspection Ordinance

Mary Upton, a Clarksville resident, is suing the southern Indiana town for entering her yard without her permission or warrant, an action she says violates her Fourth Amendment rights. In court filings in the case of Mary Hazel Upton v. Town of Clarksville, Indiana in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, ACLU attorneys contend that personnel from the town of Clarksville have walked through a gate to enter Upton’s backyard, where they have conducted inspections and taken photos of her property. The inspections, which occurred in October 2012, September 2015 and July and September 2016, resulted in a “Notice of Violation” that required Upton to comply with town ordinances governing weeds within seven days or be issued a citation, which leads to a court appearance and possible fines. Upton’s attorneys wrote in their brief that the town’s practice of entering Upton’s yard without a warrant or her permission, and the ordinances that allow them to do so, are in violation of Fourth Amendment protections.

Knightstown Removes Cross After ACLU Lawsuit

The Town of Knightstown removed a cross from its Christmas decorations after the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana said it violated the First Amendment. The Knightstown Town Council released a statement Monday saying the cross was removed because the town could not win a lawsuit filed by the ACLU on behalf of resident Joseph Tomkins. Dozens of people gathered at the display last week to pray that the town about 40 miles east of Indianapolis could keep the cross on display. A few protesters showed up Monday when the cross was removed.

Justices Find Ohio, Indiana Burglary Statutes Are ‘Substantially Similar’

Justices Find Ohio, Indiana Burglary Statutes Are ‘Substantially Similar’

Olivia Covington for www.theindaianalawyer.com

The Indiana Supreme Court Friday overturned a lower court’s decision to throw out a man’s serious violent felon charges, writing that statutes governing burglary convictions in Ohio and Indiana are “substantially” similar.

Frank Hancock was charged in Jefferson Superior Court with multiple offenses, including two counts of Level 4 felony unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon based on the state’s allegation that Hancock had previously been convicted of second degree burglary in Ohio.  The trial judge dismissed Hancock’s serious violent felon charges, writing that the Ohio burglary statute was not “substantially similar” to the same statute in Indiana.

Then, after the judge granted a mistrial, the state appealed the dismissal of the SVF counts, holding that the two statutes were substantially similar. The Ohio statute requires trespass by force, stealth or deception with the purpose to commit any criminal offense in an occupied structure of any person, while the Indiana statute requires a person to break and enter into a building or structure with the intent to commit a felony or theft in a building or structure of another person.

The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s decision in January, but the majority of Indiana Supreme Court justices reversed the decision to dismiss the charges, holding that the two state’s statutes are substantially similar.

Writing for the majority, Justice Robert Rucker said the court interpreted “substantially similar” to mean sharing common core characteristics that are largely alike in degree or extent, though not identical.

Rucker conceded that at first glance the difference between the “any criminal offense” requirement in Ohio and the “felony or theft” offense in Indiana would mean that the statutes were not substantially similar because Ohio’s threshold is broader than Indiana’s. But in Indiana, theft is a Class A misdemeanor and can be elevated to a felony with additional facts, and in Ohio, “any criminal offense” under the burglary statute includes various misdemeanors, Rucker said.

“Essentially, despite statutory language declaring entry may be accompanied by an intent to commit ‘any criminal offense,’ Ohio case authority makes clear that absent a different inference, the reasonable inference is that the defendant did so with the intent to commit the offense of theft,” Rucker wrote.

Further, Rucker wrote that the court had no hesitancy concluding that the “break and enter” requirement in Indiana and the “trespass by force, stealth, or deception” requirement in Ohio are substantially similar.  The justices also held that the definitions of “occupied structure of any person” and “building or structure of another person” were nearly identical.

Finally, Rucker wrote that although Ohio’s statutory requirement for a likeliness that a person will be present during the robbery is a more stringent requirement than Indiana’s dwelling requirement for burglary, “the very same conduct violating the Ohio second degree burglary statute … would necessarily violated Indiana’s Level 4 felony burglary statute as well.”

But Justice Steve David wrote in a dissenting opinion that he believed the difference between the “any criminal offense” and “felony or theft” requirements shows that Ohio’s statute is broader than Indiana’s.

“Even though we can reasonably infer that one who forcible enters a structure is there to commit a theft offense, this may not always be the case,” David wrote. “One could break into a home and commit a non-theft misdemeanor in Ohio (e.g., stalking), and be found guilty of burglary; however, this person would not be guilty of burglary under Indiana law.”
