Breaking News: Turnip Enters Race for Democrat Nomination in 2020!

~This report brought to you by Pesky Truth reporter, CW.

In a history-making move, a turnip has just become the 23rd Democratic presidential hopeful, announcing his/her decision today to join the vast field of 2020 candidates vying for voters’ attention.  The turnip, who goes by the name “Turnip,” was born and raised on a farm in rural Wisconsin and promises to bring a unique perspective to the race according to campaign staffers who interpret for the voiceless candidate but who prefer to remain anonymous.  According to our investigative sources, the turnip’s campaign is being heavily funded by a mysterious non-profit, Root Vegetables for Democracy, which in turn is overseen by The Society of Open Vegetables, a subsidiary of The Voice of Vegetables Project, which is said to be quietly funded by a Hungarian-born billionaire.

Within just hours of its announcement, the campaign had sold millions of “Turnip for 2020” t-shirts and without uttering a single word the turnip had surpassed 21 of the previously declared candidates to become second only to candidate Joe Biden.  Experts say that Biden will have his work cut out for him to match the excitement that Turnip brings to the campaign and to stay ahead of Turnip as campaign donations are flooding in at a record pace.  Many Democrats, it seems, are anxious to be part of the Turnip revolution.

Naturally this leads to questions and concerns as to how the turnip might fare against Donald Trump.  Not to worry, say the experts!  “It’s all in the marketing,” insists a top Democrat strategist.  “You cannot overstate the ease with which Democrat voters love to idolize anything seen as kind of being, well…out there, even if the leadership skills are questionable.  While other voters might dismiss a mindless vegetable out of hand, Democrats believe their tolerance for diversity demonstrates how much more open-minded they are, so I think the turnip has a respectable shot.”

Are Democrats worried about what the future looks like with a turnip in charge?  “No!” is the resounding answer, as the crowd begins to chant, “Turnips are people too!”

Hope and change is alive and well in the Democrat Party.

You Might Be a “Progressive” If…………………….

·         You’re ignoring the chaos and suffering in Venezuela while cheering for the rise of socialism in America.
·         You’re breathlessly waiting to find out who Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorses for 2020.
·         You think “progress” is the “Green New Deal” and going back to the days before airplanes.
·         You put off working for five years and racked up $100,000 in student loan debt to get a useless degree in women’s studies, and now you want your hard-working, taxpaying neighbors to be saddled with your debt.
·         You work part-time at Taco Bell but you’re demanding to be paid enough to comfortably support a family of four.
·         You support the “resistance” against Trump’s efforts for border security because you’re a wealthy lawyer who lives in a gated community, so your job and security aren’t at risk.
·         You declare from inside your gated community, “Walls don’t work!”
·         You’re not alarmed about the dangers of a deep state because the deep state serves your interests today.
·         You want to go on a “sex-strike” to punish states that limit abortion, but you won’t curtail sex to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
·         You think taking away Americans’ constitutional rights to self-defense via gun ownership is a good way to protect us from bad people.
·         Your entire philosophy with respect to Israel and the Palestinians is based upon ignorance of history and one-sided media reporting.
·         You angrily rail about “climate deniers” from your vacation home (which you traveled to by private car or jet).
·          25 years after-the-fact you’re finally ready to acknowledge who Bill Clinton really is.
·         You still won’t acknowledge who Hillary Clinton really is.  
·         You are outraged about Trump’s “lies,” but you weren’t bothered in the least when Barack Obama forced Obamacare on 330 million Americans based on lies.
·         You won’t admit that you don’t want America to be great again because it makes “progressives” irrelevant, so instead you pretend to be outraged about Russia.
·         You want to be protected by the Constitution even as you seek to destroy it.
·         You denounce racism and “old, white men” in the same breath.
·         You suffer from self-loathing because of your “white privilege.”
·         You’re a bartender from New York but you believe you're entitled to be the boss of all Americans.

Alas, I could do this all day.  Please share what gives a “progressive” away to you!

Abetting Illegal Immigration is the Democrats’ Way of Burning America Down

Whenever I see news clips, documentaries or movies depicting the horrors of civil war I am inevitably shocked at the wonton destruction people are willing to commit in their pursuit of power and control.  As the culmination of decades or centuries of man’s labor, sweat and ingenuity are reduced to ugly piles of rubble and burning embers, the senseless waste and loss are sickening to me, and that is to say nothing of the tragedy of lost lives and wasted lifetimes.  A similar self-inflicted ruination is what I see occurring in America’s strangely partisan battle over illegal immigration.

Irrespective of any insincere lip service they might pay to the ideals of democracy, elitist Democrats want control of this country and are determined to get it one way or another, even if it means setting the nation figuratively on fire by tying our hands against an onslaught of massive illegal immigration.  As I write this our country is being, in the infamous words of Barack Obama, transformed by a continuous inflow of people whose cultures and socio-economic backgrounds don’t typically conform to the culture and backgrounds that makes Americans who we are.  Leftists might scoff disapprovingly at those words, but if you want to know where the truth lies just ask the scoffers if they take care to ensure that their children aren’t hanging around with the “wrong crowds,” because every parent understands how quickly our years of advice and mentoring are forgotten when our impressionable children are placed in a circle of influence with those whose values are far different. 

Democrat leaders who stand in the way of fixing our illegal immigration problems in spite of the destruction to our cultural identity (as well as a long list of other problems) are no different than bad parents who let their children hang with the “wrong crowds” so that those parents can be free to pursue their own selfish interests.  Anyone who can’t stand back and see this destructive “policy” on immigration for the declaration of war that it is is a complete fool and a foot soldier in the Left’s army of useful idiots.  Democrats are using their power to block any sane response to illegal immigration purely for their own selfish political interests (i.e. to deny a “win” to Donald Trump), and in doing so they are no different than those who bomb and burn and otherwise destroy to get their way.  The only difference is that their destruction won’t be seen – really seen – for years to come, and it will be far worse.  Buildings can be rebuilt, but once the soul of a nation is destroyed good luck ever getting it back.
