The Democratic National Virtual Convention opened Monday with a two-hour prime-time bash Trump fest. If nothing else, we learned the Washington establishment hates Donald Trump.
In Tuesday's installment, we learned why. It has nothing to do with Charlottesville, the post office or Twitter.

On Tuesday viewers were treated to a parade of the bipartisan authors and architects of the globalist policies that have destroyed American jobs, farms and industries, bled us in endless wars ostensibly to make the world safe for democracy while enriching the donors who support Washington politicians with campaign funds and insider deals.
Up to that point the "convention," an infomercial really, steered clear of any policy specifics. It was all feel-bad videos, montages of words, images and minor-key mood music designed to evoke victimhood, despair and other negative emotions.
In the midst of this miasma of emotional appeals, the immobile face of John Kerry appeared. The former secretary of state explained why Orange Man Bad with all the aloofness and condescension that cost him the presidency in 2004.
"On June 6th, 1944, young Americans gave their lives and the beaches of Normandy to liberate the world from tyranny. Out of the ashes of that war we made peace and rebuilt the world. That was, and remains exceptional. It is the opposite of everything Donald Trump stands for,"spoke the saturnine countenance in a rare display of candor.
Kerry gave up the game. In a few short sentences he summed up the globalist project the Washington establishment has been pursuing for 75 years.
Since the end of World War II, one administration after another, Democrat and Republican, saw it as "our" duty to "rebuild the world."
First it was Europe and Japan that needed rebuilding, so we gave them our automobile and consumer electronics industries. Then it was Korea and the Third World, so we gave them steel and textiles and garments. Then the pashas of the global empire decided we could rebuild China in our image and gave them whatever was left to give. The American middle class crumbled.
It was all done under the rubric of global free trade, the label slapped on agreements including GATT, the WTO, NAFTA and the TransPacific Partnership.
California U.S. Rep. Bertrand Gearhardt saw what was up with the "free trade" game as far back as 1947. When Congress debated the "Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act," Gearhardt predicted, "When the truth is told and the facts become known, the trade-agreements program will be revealed as … no less than a plot to merge the American economy with that of the world. This, despite an inevitable destruction of our standard of living, our high wage scales, and our most favorable working conditions, in all of which is inextricably involved the American way of life."
While rebuilding the world, the bipartisan foreign policy establishment "made peace" by destroying traditional cultures and creating refugee crises at every stop with endless war in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Latin America.
"It is the opposite of everything Donald Trump stands for," said John Kerry in a rare moment of truth in a proceeding packed with lies.
Yes, President Donald J. Trump opposes the neoconservative nation-building, democracy-exporting and regime changing crusades that have had a death grip on generations of young American men and women. He wants to bring our troops home.
Yes, President Trump opposes the neoliberal sovereignty-eating international agreements that have sent our jobs and industries to cheap foreign labor camps in the Third World. He opposes the notion that our government should rebuild the world. He wants to rebuild America.
For three quarters of a century, members of the Washington establishment, a government-industrial complex including academia, think tanks, defense contractors, military, lobbyists, media and politicians Democrat and Republican, have staked and made their fortunes on this "rebuild the world, kill for peace" imperial project.
Donald J. Trump opposes it.
That's why the Washington establishment hates him – and why the American people elected him.
“I’m John Kerry and, I’m a pompous a**”
And just to be clear, both Republicans and Democrats hate Trump just the same, for the very same reasons.
My wife was just reading to me that there is a shortage of aluminum cans. No wonder. We have shut down all our refining of alumina (the plant in Portland Tx was shut down recently and is being demolished). Almost none of our plants remain. The refining process requires the units to be rebuilt every few years. The low priced aluminum we got from China kept prices down so the American companies couldn’t afford to do maintenance. The Portland plant was down from 16 units to 2. Losing a million dollars a month.
Thank you globalists. Now we have no domestic production of a number of metals.
We should confiscate the assets of all of the globalists that brought this on and use them to rebuild our production. Yes, that includes you, Bill Gates.
Clear, concise, and most importantly 100% true. But, Kerry is not the first one to give up this particular piece of truth.
McCain was the first. Shortly before he mercifully died he said all this in plain language. He hated Trump for Trump’s desire to abandon all that and put America and Americans first.
Trump had to go and, so, he assisted in the frame-up and coup attempt against Donald Trump.
And, I’d venture a guess he is not the only “republican” involved in this.
Another Freeper posted yesterday that Trump is the first President in decades that hadn’t started a foreign war.
BTTT
That’s exactly why the deep State doesn’t like him.
“On June 6th, 1944, young Americans gave their lives and the beaches of Normandy to liberate the world from tyranny. Out of the ashes of that war we made peace and rebuilt the world. That was, and remains exceptional. It is the opposite of everything Donald Trump stands for,”spoke the saturnine countenance in a rare display of candor.

The problems with this philosophy is that it places a claim on the lives of young men and women who will go off to war to fulfill this Neo-Con dream. It will also place a claim on the income, property, and standard-of-living of everyone else. It is ultimately inconsistent with the philosophy of a peaceful, non-aggressive Republic.
Toss in the end to soirees on the south lawn where the urinalists could rub, uh, elbows with “celebrities/entertainers”, what’s not to hate? I really think the end to the booze and drug fueled fetes has a lot to do with it. No, really.
“...And just to be clear, both Republicans and Democrats hate Trump just the same, for the very same reasons....”
UniParty. Yeah, they all talk a big talk, all wear different hats and all give the appearance of two separate entities, but the bottom line is they’re all in it together with the same agenda. Lining their pockets with our money the whole time.
GOPe = DS/DNC - UniParty = Communism
“Shortly before he mercifully died.....” How long is the line at Annapolis these days?
Wow. The truth will set us free.
Great article.

Why the long face, John.

Swift boat acceleration will do that to you when you’re on the hell bound boat to Cambodia. :-)
Almost none of our plants remain.

(It’s Wikipedia, so not sure how accurate, but this is eye-opening.
The last three lines of this article from WND; "For three quarters of a century, members of the Washington establishment, a government-industrial complex including academia, think tanks, defense contractors, military, lobbyists, media and politicians Democrat and Republican, have staked and made their fortunes on this "rebuild the world, kill for peace" imperial project.
[President]Donald J. Trump opposes it.

Democrats & friends were/are themselves getting wealthy on the backs of our once solid middle class and now the Progressives will try to keep America shut down with skewed Covid-19 faux news...anything to regain their power even if it means ruining America. Real Americans will not be a party to this insanity...they will vote to give President Trump another 4 years in November keeping our Republic out of the greedy jowls of Socialism cum Marxism.
America First isn’t xenophobic.
It’s equivalent to the flight attendant telling passengers to put the oxygen mask on themselves before putting it on the less-able person next to you.
When America is strong, we can be there for the rest of the world. Instead, the left has been working on destroying America for the last 75 years.
Rebuilding the world while tearing US apart is their goal.
