Feeling the Low

One of the last things I watched yesterday was a Senate hearing where FBI director Kash Patel was being grilled by a Democrat (I think it was Blumenthal) who called Patel a liar because he promised during confirmation hearings not to politicize the FBI and then just turned around and started firing leftist FBI personnel who had politicized the FBI during the Biden and Obama administrations, not to mention what they did against Trump during the first Trump administration. Patel bristled. I didn't see smoke, but man...

Am I just thick-headed here? That's like someone accusing a surgeon of malpractice for wanting to remove cancer cells.

Democrats are disturbingly deranged.

I have to admit, though. That was a perfect pitch that Patel should have hit a home run clear out of the ballpark with, and all he managed was a foul ball. I mean, this is just about the last chance this year for anybody to hit a home run - going into game 7 of the World Series.

And the hope is that next year voters will turn both houses of Congress Democrat again. That is such a depressing possibility!

Interviewing Tucker

I just saw this lady on a Jimmy Dorr YouTube video about the Charlie Kirk controversy and I just had to find out who she is. Not only is she young and very attractive, she is brilliant and a genuine truth seeker.

So I searched and voila! Here she is interviewing Tucker Carlson on his own home turf:

Off The Record with Elizabeth Lane: Tucker Carlson Unfiltered

Check out Tucker's reply to the question she asks at the 43:08 point in the video and what he has to say about British intelligence verses the CIA and Mossad. Very few people online dare to speak about the CIA. Even fewer dare speak about the Mossad. But nobody speaks this way about Britain's MI6... nobody, not even the ladies at Promethean Updates who I often link to, and they blame Britain for virtually everything!

The Economics Conundrum (In My Head) - Canada, Carney, and Globalism

Continuing in this series...

Promethean Updates furthers our understand of what Trump is up to regarding economics and trade. Canada just used 75 million of their dollars for an anti-Trump ad to run in the US that featured Ronald Reagan attacking protectionism (tariffs aimed at protecting American jobs). Mind you I have been saying for years now that it was Ronald Reagan who got outsourcing going in the US and the ad for sure backs up that claim. Canada is still in favor of globalism and Trump is not.

Money Mystery

The United States is currently suffering from a "shutdown" in government because, as I understand things, Congress refuses to pass a stopgap spending bill.

So why is the national debt rising by a million dollars every 15 or 20 seconds? Who is getting the money if the government is shut down or was it some sort of political smokescreen when they said the military wasn't getting paid?

Republican Divide

Ever since Trump poo pooed the Epstein files, chased away half of his support base, and called the whole thing a Democrat hoax, a significant part of his voter base has begun to see the Trump phenomenon through a different lens, myself included.

Here's a perfect example of what I mean:

Trump will DESTROY the GOP by selling out America to PFIZER

The Republican Party is eating itself alive!

This podcast is only 15 minutes long but painful as it is to hear, I think it's well worth the time. Even as a Trump supporter, I resonate with this. I'm thinking it is probably time to remove the "Trump Team" bumper sticker from the tailgate of my truck. It's not just radical Marxist Democrats and their blind minions attacking Trump now. It's rational Republicans too.

Yes there have been divisions all along in the Republican Party. That's nothing new. But a whole new crack has emerged. Even conservative Christians are at each other's throats with so many of them now realizing that their religion supports Zionism wholeheartedly leaving moral idealists in the dust. It's beginning to make sense why Trump talks Yiddish, acts Yiddish, and can't resist becoming involved in the Zionist war in the Middle East. It's beginning to make sense now why nobody can trust anything that Trump promises. He fits that stereotype. That's not to say Trump is a Zionist Christian. There's zero evidence that Trump is Christian but undisputable evidence that he is Zionist. Zionists despise anybody who isn't Zionist and Trump fits that mold. He probably should convert to Judaism, the sooner the better. But Mike Adams is right. He is destroying the Republican Party with all his pro-Israel pragmatism.

Maine Senate Candidate Denies Being NAZI Despite Tattoo

My own personal opinion of this guy based on recent revelations including this one is that perhaps he has some mental issues, biases, substance abuse issues, you name it, that should lead him to at the very least drop out of the race. Most Progressives don't seem to see the problem yet which raises serious questions about "Progressives".

So he was drunk and immature and clueless when he had this done, later jokingly (?) bragged about it knowing what it represented, yet never had it removed? Something's fishy:

Graham Planter’s Senate Bid Rocked Again — This Time Over Nazi-Linked Tattoo

It strikes me that this guy is the ideal model for what leftist women hate more than anything, white males, yet they have no problem remaining quiet about that, probably calculating that he would win the vote from Republican males fed up with Senator Collins. I don't know. I don't get it. Women secretly adore macho males maybe?

Polluted Pot in Maine

While progressives (Marxist Democrats) rant about "no kings", progressives in Maine's state government ignore a growing problem in the state, illegal large-scale Chinese-run marijuana grow houses growing an unregulated and likely polluted product. Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins whom Maine's progressives are desperately trying to replace in the 2026 election cycle seems to be about the only lawmaker concerned. Progressives and the mainstream media seem deliberately ignorant.

The issue has been widely investigated by an online publication, the Maine Wire but only recently have other media outlets caught wind of the problem. The Maine Wire claims that prohibited and likely dangerous chemical herbicides and pesticides are commonly used by these illegal Chinese growers.

This video doesn't focus on the chemical danger and doesn't reflect on Maine's governor's deliberate ignorance of the problem but does show that Maine's problem is becoming a federal problem which is certainly good news for pot users:

9/11 Truth Reborn

Tucker Carlson releases the 5th video about what actually happened in the 9/11 scandal. In this video he summarizes what became of many of the primary actors in the reaction of the U.S. government. Then he concludes the five-part series by providing a compelling argument for why there needs to be a new 9/11 investigation. Chances are none of this lines up with what you believe the United States is.

Take a deep breath, relax for a moment, and then watch this entire video. Prepare yourself for some serious cognitive dissonance. You may not want to believe this stuff, but you should.

Bad Bush News from Maine

I am no Bush fan for sure so it wasn't welcome news to me when a younger cousin of the two Bush Presidents decided to run as a Republican for Governor of Maine in next year's election.

Personally I can't imagine ever trusting another Bush.

Not that the Dems are offering better choices, mind you. Here's my latest post on a Democrat candidate that I certainly don't trust. Actually I don't trust any Democrats, but this one is significantly controversial. From October 19:

Communist for the U.S. Senate

Back to Bush, this tidbit just came out:

Bush heir tries to get ahead of the Daily Mail's revelations that he beat his wife as he launches run for Maine governor

Ultimately it's up to whoever counts the votes but wouldn't that make for an interesting campaign, avowed Communis oyster farmer and bartender Marine veteran Platner running against Bush heir for Maine governor? Sparks flying everywhere...

A Stupid Question

As far as I can tell, this must be a stupid question. I need an answer.

It appears that the government shutdown somehow stops American servicemen and women from being paid for their service. If you are in the military, your pay depends on the approval of the entire federal budget by the U.S. Congress.

Somewhere deep in the back of my mind I seem to recall Donald Trump saying while on the campaign trail that the way Congress packages all the spending together needs to change, that it needs to be broken into separate bills so that popular or essential expenses aren't held hostage by congress people demanding pork barrel expenditures.

So my question is this:

Why won't the Republicans and the Democrats vote to fund military salaries separately from all the pork barrel spending? Why won't Republicans in the House pass a separate bill to do that? It's clear at this point that the Democrats are holding military service members hostage, but aren't the Republicans doing the same thing by refusing to fund military salaries separate from this bill that Senate Democrats refuse to vote for?

I know this must be a stupid question but what is there about Congress that makes this question so stupid that nobody even mentions it, not even the media?

I know that Donald Trump reads this blog, so I just had to throw this out there.

Communist for the U.S. Senate

I can't verify any of this, but I do tend to trust the Gateway Pundit. I had an invitation to attend this macho White man's debut campaign event in small town Sorento, Maine but at the last minute, following my instincts, decided not to go see him.

He is running for the seat in the U.S. Senate now occupied by Republican Susan Collins who, he has suggested, is responsible for the deaths of his brothers-in-arms in the Middle East wars after 9/11. That's a disgustingly low blow considering that he himself volunteered for four deployments to those wars, but I would imagine it also allows him to rationalize that Senator Collins is also responsible for the deaths of all the men and women - and children - that he and/or his comrades killed in those wars.

But I was not prepared for this juicy piece of news:

Maine Democrat Senate Candidate Exposed for Promoting Extremist Violence and Communism in Now-Deleted Reddit Rants

I have a sneaky suspicion that this guy, despite his depravity and despite his problems with PTSD and drug abuse, could become Maine's junior U.S. Senator. Maine deserves it. The United States doesn't but Maine does.

Update: The Maine Wire View

A couple of recent articles on this from Maine Wire.

From October 18:

Graham Platner Wrote Some Dumb Stuff, So What?

From October 19:

Graham Platner’s Political Director Resigns

As much as this might seem like good news, maybe that's just an illusion. I say this not because it's beginning to look like Platner's support might fade but because if it does, that leaves Maine's filthy Governor Mills as the likely frontrunner. Mills reaches her term limit in 2026 and she insists on continuing her service to the state by being our new senator in DC. God help us!

The Economics Conundrum (In My Head) - The Tariff Panic

A central focus of Trump's economics is tariffs. Most of Trump's tariffs these days seem to be a form of economic warfare. He inflicts tariffs in order to persuade foreign governments to adhere to American political demands. But that wasn't how Trump introduced the practice of assessing tariffs to the American public.

Trump's original reasoning was to encourage manufacturers to produce goods that are sold in America right in American factories instead of all the outsourcing that cost so many American factory workers their jobs. Actually, there were two things that triggered American manufacturing job loses, outsourcing to defeat high American labor costs and environmental regulations that drove manufacturing offshore. Trump addressed overregulation in his first term and encouraged wealthy investors and large corporations to build manufacturing facilities in America again.

At first, between 2017 and 2020 until Covid hit, that was working. Employment opportunities abounded. But for his second term he wanted something more, more American manufacturing and less dependence on foreign nations, especially China, which used money from American consumers to finance military strength opposed to America's own interests. Tariffs were his preferred solution, make foreign goods more expensive and encourage manufacturers to produce their goods here in America tariff-free.

The problem with tariffs is that they inevitably have to be paid by the consumer since they are taxes on consumer goods - higher tariffs, higher taxes on foreign goods, higher prices for foreign goods.

Caution, AI Generated Lies?

Here's the problem from the perspective of a wealthy investor, Warren Buffett. Investors benefit from outsourcing since it allows them higher profit margins. Since imposing these new tariffs, Trump has stated that it is the investors who pay the tariffs by lowering their profit margins, not consumers by paying higher prices. Investors like Buffett should shoulder the added costs, Trump suggested. Retail prices shouldn't rise.

So here's Buffett's pessimistic response:

Buffett Warns: "HUGE CRASH Will Hit All Seniors’ Savings in 3 DAYS!"

A Spaced Out Evening

For some reason my mindspring was all wound up last night. I didn't get back to sleep until after midnight and woke somewhere between three and four and that was it for the night. Then today my wife and I were on the road touring over Maine country roads illuminated by the colors of autumn trees. She drove the whole trip. I snoozed as much as I could, read in my new 1984 - yes Orwell, even stopped in at an Amish vegetable stand at a rustic home carved out of the woods. I was ready to relax when we got home but stopped for supper and to watch our favorite daily YouTube character Alex Christoforou.

But at the moment I have a video going on YouTube that has me roaming the depths of space and physics. It's just over two and a half hours long.

Want some of it?

Why Everything in the Universe Is Spinning?

Antifa Imagined

Check out the introduction to this video where the mainstream media lies to its audience about Antifa:

The FBI knocked on my door to talk about Antifa...

I wonder if I should check out Talking Points Memo to see if this new collusion was their idea.

Pessimist

I hate to be the one to say this... but I am beginning to think that everything Donald Trump is doing that he claims should win him a Nobel Peace Prize is going to fail... unless suddenly "war is peace".

Everything. Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, India, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Russia, Israel, Ukraine, the EU, even America... all of it.

World War III is about to begin, and Donald Trump is the man who is making it happen.

And I'm beginning to think that all his trade negotiations are going to meet with devastating blowback triggering a financial crisis worse than the one at the end of the George W. Bush administration in 2008.

I just can't convince myself that all his shallow blustering will succeed - key word "shallow".

And I used to be a Trump supporter until he fired me (figuratively speaking) and a big bunch of his supporters over the Epstein thing. Maybe that's it. Maybe I've been blinded by my own resentment over being treated that way.

But I doubt that's it.

I'm more inclined to think that Trump is about to discover that he is a victim of the Peter principle. Everything now is over his head - and he doesn't seem to have a clue that it's happening.

Pride cometh before the fall.

I tend to think that Trump thought everybody was going to revere him and do whatever he wanted them to do. It's not turning out that way and it's pissing him off. Trump on the campaign trail promised he would meet with Putin and settle the Ukraine war. OK, so how many times has Trump met with Putin to negotiate a settlement? Once in the past nine months? Seriously? And even then he didn't take Putin seriously. He expected Putin to do what he was told to do. He didn't bother to listen to Russia's needs. Just, hey Putin, concede to Zelinski's demands, man. Don't argue.

Trump seems to think that Putin won't defend Russia when NATO invades it, that Russia will just fold and let Europe and the US (and the wealthy Jewish oligarchs that run the world) plunder it.

I remember a talk that I had one time with the guy I took a hunter safety course from. He was a serious sort of guy, a bit of a GI Joe type, even brought in his 50 cal. one time to impress us, and the topic of Putin came up. He sternly warned me to never trust Putin. Since Putin was about the only actual Christian leader in the entire world I didn't want to believe that his advice was sound but now I understand what he meant. Putin, like most Russians, will fight to the death rather than surrender. He will nuke the world if that's what it takes.

But you know, maybe I'm wrong about all this. Maybe the world will finally start behaving Donald Trump.

Maybe...

not too likely, but maybe...

or maybe I'm just wrong about this whole big mess...

The Gravity Mystery (Continued)

45 years ago, back in 1980 - I remember the year because I remember the room in which this idea first came to me in the apartment where my wife and I were living just after the birth of our first child - it first dawned on me that it is ludicrous to imagine that gravity is a pulling force that existed between any two objects even through the emptiness of space. It's easy enough to imagine two objects pulling on one another through a cord of some kind, string, rope, chain, solid rod, whatever, but not through the emptiness of space. Empty space neither enhances nor impairs gravity.

Science has extensively studied the effects of gravity but has never found a definition of it, even to the extent of embracing the ludicrous claim that gravity isn't even a force at all but rather (somehow) a warpage of "space-time" - whatever that term means. We're all supposed to just accept that idea because it came from Einstein, the most intelligent human who ever lived, so we are told by the experts.

Of course, in order to contest this concept of gravity as either a pulling force or not a force at all, one would need another explanation, right? What is gravity if it isn't a force of attraction?

What came to me that day back in that room was that what is called the attracting force is instead the result of an imbalance of force. Objects exist in an intense and essentially unobservable field of force, and those objects accelerate or decelerate as a result of an imbalance in that force field.

Mind you I have never found support for this theory and everybody I have ever explained it to has rejected it. Even though it makes perfect sense to me, nobody wants to conceive of this force field. In my mind, force itself, unimaginably intense force, is the fundamental substance that all matter is made of. Nobody can conceive of that although the discovery of unimaginably intense nuclear force (the basis of nuclear energy) should have been a clue.

So why is it scientifically inconceivable for there to be such a force field if its effects are so well known? Why would any rational mind need to speculate that gravity isn't force at all? I have written about this theory of mine before and I don't wish to do it again right now, so I'll stick with this last question, a question that has plagued me for decades.

Why is it that people can't accept the notion of this force field?

I am writing this today because I just came across my first clue.

I'm currently rereading a book I came across a few years back in a thrift store somewhere entitled Doubt, a history, written by Jennifer Michael Hecht, Copyright 2003. The book basically attempts to assess the history of atheism in philosophy. In this rereading I was stunned by one paragraph on page 336 in chapter eight, "Sunspots and White House Doubters, 1600 - 1800". The author is writing about John Locke (1632 - 1704) and John Toland (1670 - 1722). Wikipedia just informed me that this was the "Age of Enlightenment". I have to admit, this comes as a complete surprise. I had always assumed that Europe was "enlightened" long before that but, as usual, my bad, I was wrong.

Anyway, although I rarely quote anything here in the Journal, especially not entire paragraphs, I am making an exception here since I couldn't possibly paraphrase this paragraph. Hecht writes:

"Toland was an atomist and believed that Aristotle's problem with the motion of the world had been proved foolish by the new physics: if matter had motion intrinsically, that is, if it turns out that matter is in motion by its very nature, the hypothesis of a prime mover becomes unnecessary. Newton saw that force is not a thing outside matter that pushes on it, but rather that pieces of matter exert forces on each other. Today we think less of forces at all, and instead think of the pieces of matter having a field of interaction. Still, Toland had noticed that Aristotle had been tricked by friction and gravity into thinking that things needed outside force in order to move. The Prime Mover was unnecessary after all."

This unnecessary "Prime Mover" is, of course, God. Remember, this book is about the philosophy of atheism.

So if I am reading this correctly, the main reason why the human race cannot conceive of the force field I speak of is ... are you ready for this?... atheism. Science, and more specifically physics, cannot move beyond atheism.

I've always suspected this was the problem, but this is the first time I have seen it expressed in writing.

If you haven't heard of Joel Salatin or Polyface Farms, you live in a food vacuum. He farms in Virginia and his products can be found even in a small natural foods store in Brewer, Maine. And he is a pioneer in the natural foods world as well as a patriot defending the independent producer as opposed to the industrial food system.

Take some time to get to know him and his beef as well as his beefs about big government:

Why Small Farmers Are Disappearing | Joel Salatin

Maine isn't a large state but within the state from north to south and from east to west there are thousands and thousands of miles of country roads lined with what used to be small family farms. Very few of those farms still produce and sell food. Imagine all the healthy and tasty food we are no longer able to buy because of the takeover by global industrial farming!

The Economics Conundrum (In My Head) - The Austrian Connection

The point of my efforts here seems to be to locate resources that help explain President Trump's mysterious economics. I say "mysterious" because nobody seems able to explain his thinking. Plenty of people criticize him and many fear monger over what he does, but so far I have found only one source that seems to claim a favorable understanding of his economic agenda.

That resource, as I have said before, is the YouTube channel Promethean Updates.

Another resource that I have been attempting to use is the Naomi Klein book TheShock Doctrine, The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, which traces the effects of Milton Friedman of the Chicago school of economics. Klein points out that Friedman's mentor was Friedrich Hayek whose career as an economics expert dates back to the days of Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

I came across an article this morning that expands on Hayek's work:

Who Controls the Public Mind?

This article contrasts Hayek's "old world economics" against the dominant theories of John Maynard Keynes otherwise known as Keynesian economics.

So the two primary competing economics theories are Friedman's classical liberalism known as Laissez-faire economics - or capitalism - and Keynes's Keynesian economics - centralized government control of money.

So just where in this maze of economics theory does Donald Trump fit in? Great question! That's my conundrum. I'll keep at it. Maybe the answers will reveal themselves eventually. As always, I am looking for answers in layman's language, not in economics jargon. I am a simple man.

Israel To Spend Up To $4.1 Million on Propaganda Campaign Targeting American Christians

What if this is not only true but normal, the usual stuff, nothing out of the ordinary? What if Israel and the Zionists have been pumping money into pro-Zionist propaganda since Zionism was conceived well over a century ago?

Would anybody know?

Yes of course someone would, but would you? Even if you were a confirmed Christian believer, would you know?

Would you know if the Jews had been doing this all along, ever since the Romans tore down their temple and kicked them out of Israel because they were so miserable to cope with?

No, you wouldn't know that.

I must admit, all the things going down these days have led me beyond skepticism into the realm of pessimism. I'm not getting good vibes from Zionists or from the Trump administration. So may lies being told!

The Other 9/11

When it comes to the history of 9/11, there's the official government story and then there's the real story of 9/11 - what really happened.

Most people could care less about what really happened that day. The government story suits their interests perfectly so there's no need for any attempt to correct it.

But then there's this:

Tucker Carlson and the Resurrection of the 9/11 Truth Movement, Part I

I was raised to believe that truth matters, but that world is long-gone. 9/11 forever altered the landscape of "truth".

Why Want War?

Being a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, it is hard to believe that Europe and Ukraine, both of which have repeatedly stated that they want a wider war with Russia, wouldn't engage in a false flag operation to drag the United Strates into their war, especially considering that without the US involvement, Russia would certainly win.

It is virtually impossible for me to wrap my head around any reason why Russia would provoke or even want such a war. A defeated Europe would be an unbearable burden on the Russian people and their economy. It makes no sense for Russia to want that outcome.

On the other hand, should war break out in Europe, and should the United States be drawn into it, there is a significant possibility that Russia would lose especially if it were unwilling to defend its sovereignty with its nuclear arsenal. If Russia lost such a war, Europe and the US would absolutely plunder Russia's vast mineral and petroleum resources gaining trillions of dollars of profits from the breakup of Russia.

Europe has everything to gain, nearly nothing to lose, and wants the war.

Russia has everything to lose and nothing to gain from such a war.

So why would Russia be provoking Europe to start this war?

Simple answer is it wouldn't, but Europe would.

Considering this, how wise is it to ignore the claims that these Russian provocations are not false flag operations by Ukraine and Europe? Why not suspect that Europe and Ukraine will continue these false flag operations? Is our Russophobia that powerful that we would let it drag us into a potential nuclear war?

Ukraine Plotting False Flag in EU – Moscow

The sad fact is that we in the West are letting this happen and refuse to admit or discuss the truth.

Tucker Exposes 9/11 Lies - Part 2

I reported on the first episode of this 9/11 series:

Tucker Exposes 9/11 Lies

Here is the second episode:

Lavrov Telling It Like It Is

While nearly every country in Europe lies about Russia because they want war, Russia's Lavrov tells it like it is at the UN.

Who do you believe?

Russia Shocks the World, Declares END of US World Order & WARNS Israel LIVE!

It appears that even the January 6 conspiracy theories severely underestimated the FBI collusion:

BREAKING: CHRIS WRAY LIED UNDER OATH! FBI Had 274 Plainclothes Agents in the Crowd on January 6th – IT WAS A TOTAL FEDSURRECTION

The only conclusion I can reach after this is that only severely deranged idiots voted Democrat in the 2024 election. I mean, what else can explain it?

Today's Clown World

The first two major items that the Internet exposed me to this morning - or was it my subconscious doing it? - were both serious clown worlds.

🔴Trump prepares for WAR with RUSSIA.🔴

Then the second, this unrelated topic:

Is today Friday the 13th? Or maybe April Fool's Day?

Nope.

Maine's Political Dilemma

I rant about Maine politics, but I have a good reason for doing it. Maine politics are suspicious to say the least. If you're thinking about moving to Maine to get away from political corruption, you should think twice. Maine may be quaint and rural but somehow that enables those who have less than "righteous" political ambitions. You might say that Maine liberals like to out-California California.

Consider this:

DOJ PRESSES Maine after Janet Mills HIDES Voter Rolls Under Suspicion of FRAUD

There's only one real reason for not wanting the United States Department of Justice to investigate the legitimacy of Maine's voting process. I'm sure you can guess what that real reason is.

You might want to keep an eye on this issue. It's apt to get a bit dicey. Trust me.

Take the time to watch this video. This is a national issue, not just a Maine problem.

Maine Election Integrity with Dr. Douglas Frank

What Did Trump Just Say?

"She does a fantastic job running lots of different nations..."

Check out what Trump says at the 20:46 mark in this video from yesterday:

Trump dumps Ukraine, trashes Russia, wants aircraft shot down. Moldova 2nd front. UN Escalator Gate

Personally, I can't imagine anybody, and I do mean anybody, saying that about a European leader. Was he trolling her or does Trump really believe the EU is an empire?

Disgusting Female Maine Democrats

Disgusting female Democrats thrive in Maine but this tops it all:

If this vote represents Maine voters, Lord help us.

Kirk Killing Conspiracy Theory Thickens

It would appear that we are witnessing a major conspiracy theory in the making.

Consider this:

Redefining "Hate Speech"?

America's attorney general Pam Bondi is under criticism even from trusted conservatives like Tucker Carlson for taking a stand against "hate speech". Carlson is concerned about losing our freedom of speech.

Over the years I have become convinced that what liberals refer to as hate speech is anything that disturbs them enough to trigger hate inside their own selves. Conservatives speak the truth and liberals hate it so they label it as "hate speech".

Pam Bondi, if my sense is correct, is attempting to say that the hate that liberals reveal when they react to the hate they feel is the real "hate speech" and needs to be recognized as such.

I tend to think this second definition makes a whole lot more sense. I have witnessed the hate that liberals generate in their hearts when they are exposed to truth. I know it's real and the world is coming to realize that it is a danger to civilized society.
