It is Going to be a Great New Year, except for the Left!

So many good things are happening in America, but the Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and MSM) are obsessed with stopping it from happening, or outright denying it is happening. Here are a few recent examples:

  • ABC published an article about President Trump being the first President in years that did not visit troops during the holidays, as he and the First Lady were landing in Iraq! What did the MSM do then? They did not retract the article but instead took issue with how many days he was in office before he made the historic visit. They also took to twitter to mock the First Lady’s choice of foot wear (again). She was wearing Timberland boots in a war zone!
  • The stock market had the highest one-day gain in history on December 26, 2018, but the MSM is ignoring this and continuing to talk about the days it lost points up to Christmas eve.
  • The Left, including Obama, Schumer, and Pelosi publicly advocated for a secure border, including a fence for years, until Donald Trump was elected. Now the Left insist that a “wall is immoral” and the “American voters are overwhelmingly opposed to a wall”. Neither of these proclamations is remotely true! Sometimes I wonder if the Left does not know that years of video and audio tape exist of what they said and did in the past?
  • When Obama was in the White House ISIS grew so fast and became so powerful they were able to create their own country. President Trump, as Commander in Chief gave our military what they needed to finally defeat ISIS. Then he gave the order to the top commanders to devise a plan to get all our troops out of Syria. When the deadline came and went without his orders being carried out he announced that we were no longer needed in Syria and were pulling our remaining forces out. Our troops are being replaced by a much larger force of Turkish trained Syrian fighters with a pledge from the President of Turkey to finish off any remaining ISIS cells in that part of the world. Syrians cleaning up what is left of ISIS in Syria with the support of Turkey. How can that not be a good thing? Now the Left suddenly hates the idea that President Trump is putting America first and bringing our troops home! Some even ridiculed his speech where he told our troops, “we are going to have to stop being the policemen of the world”. Securing our own borders instead of another country’s and strengthening our own economy instead of another country’s? How can this suddenly be a bad thing?
  • Yahoo View published an article claiming that FOX NEWS host like Sean Hannity were losing viewers as a result of their constant support for President Trump. In the article they did acknowledge that Hannity was still the number one rated show but made a point that his numbers were off somewhat in December. If you took the article title at face value instead of looking at the numbers you would probably believe the title was true. They also did not mention how strong the FOX line up is in every afternoon and evening time slot, especially from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.   
  • Retiring Senator Bob Corker blasted President Trump on twitter over the partial government shut down. He actually posted “alert the day care staff“ because President Trump is insisting on funds for a border wall! This RINO is “retiring”, which means that he was so anti-Trump during the 2016 campaign that he could not possibly get re-elected in Tennessee.
  • One of the ”talking heads” on CNN had a banner headline that said Trump was a “Failure as America’s CEO”? Apparently this was based solely on the partial government shut down?
  • The Federal Reserve Bank board dictates what the prime interest rate is in America. This power is supposed to be used to maintain a stable American business climate. Raising or lowering the prime borrowing rate banks must pay as they borrow funds from the Federal Reserve bank to maintain their daily cash flow needs affects the rates the banks charge their customers, so it affects every business transaction in America in some way. The Federal Reserve Bank board is supposed to be non-political. However, they only raised rates one time during Obama’s eight years in office. But they have raised rates constantly during President Trumps first two years in office. Every time they raise rates it slows down business expansion in America because it increases the cost of business expansion. It also increases the cost of all consumer credit, which reduces the amount of money consumers have to spend on other things. The Fed Chairman’s reasons for the rapid and constant rate increases is that they are preventing the economy from “overheating” and “working to control inflation”. Somehow that sounds to me like they think that things are going “too well” in America now?

At the risk of being redundant I am going to repeat something I said in my article last week. It is the only way I know to explain the Left being totally out of touch with reality on everything. Every time I see or hear something from the Left, I can close my eyes and clearly hear them say, “or you going to believe me or your lying eyes”?

“I Ain’t Got the Words”….

As I watched the Democrats and the MSM over the last few days, especially just before, during and right after the 9/11 ceremonies, I realized that I was having a hard time trying to figure out how to describe what they have been saying and doing. I thought about words like despicable, deranged, un-American, pathological and many other similar words. As I was went through a long list of words like these I realized that no single word would adequately describe what I was seeing and hearing. At one point during this thought process I remembered a famous line out of an old OK Corral movie. It was during a pivotal point in the movie where a cowboy was trying to explain to Wyatt that he did not know how to express his thoughts and feelings at the moment. He said, “I ain’t got the words”. As I thought about that line out of that movie it reconfirmed for me that no single word or group of words would adequately describe how utterly disgusting what the Democrats and MSM have been saying and doing really is.

Here are just a few examples:

  • Joe Scarborough, a MSNBC host wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post that was published on Monday night, just ahead of the 9/11 ceremonies! In the article he said that President Trump, “has done more damage to the dream of America than any foreign adversary ever could”.  So, according to Scarborough the Trump Administration, in the 17 plus months it has been in office, has done more damage to America then the terrorist did on 9/11?
  • On 9/12 the Washington Post’s lead editorial title was, “Another Hurricane is About to Batter our Coast. Trump is Complicit”. So now the President, his Administration and Republicans are responsible for bad weather? After this was published Juan Williams on “The Five” loudly argued that this was true!
  • Recently leaked insider information confirmed that Google secretly worked behind the scenes (illegally) to try and get Hillary elected. Video of a management video conference immediately after the election has also been made public. During the video conference management actually talked about how depressing the election results were and what they could do about it.
  • Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez went on CNN to angrily rant about how badly the Trump Administration mishandled the Puerto Rica hurricane relief efforts. The facts are that the necessary relief was delivered to Puerto Rica in a timely manner but the infrastructure was so bad in Puerto Rica the aid could not be delivered to many parts of the island and the aid workers could not get to many parts of the island. The hurricanes did do a lot of damage to the island’s infrastructure, however the island’s infrastructure was grossly inadequate before the hurricanes due to the incompetent, and in some cases dishonest politicians in positions of power on the island. One example of the Puerto Rican government’s incompetence is that they could not even provide enough truck drivers to drive the trucks necessary to deliver the aid to places they could get to.
  • In a campaign speech yesterday NY Governor Cuomo also ranted about how badly the Trump Administration mishandled the Puerto Rica relief efforts, without placing any blame on the Democrat party members that “rule” the island. As noted above the relief aid and relief workers arrived at Puerto Rica immediately after the second hurricane died down but could not be distributed on a timely basis. All Cuomo, Gutierrez and other people like them care about is using any current event to benefit themselves politically and financially.
  • Congresswoman Maxine Waters continues to constantly rant, “impeach Barnie Fife, 45, Trump”. When asked about Pence becoming President as a result of that she screamed that she would then impeach Pence and everyone else in the Administration. This person obviously does not have any understanding of our Constitution. Waters is a ranking member of the Congressional Banking and Finance committee! Prior to the housing market collapse (which was caused by deliberate actions taken by Bill Clinton) Federal Reserve Bank regulators were reporting to that committee about the possibility of serious potential problems developing in our banking system. At one point during their testimony Maxine became so upset that she jumped up and screamed at the regulators that, “we will nationalize this thing”. This hearing was being televised and broadcast. As I watched the replay of the hearing it was obvious that the other members of the committee could not resist laughing at Maxine’s irrational reaction to the testimony. It is important to note that at the time Maxine and her husband owned a lot of stock in a minority owned bank in California and her husband was a member of the bank’s Board of Directors. When the bank was about to collapse Maxine illegally directed Federal bank bailout funds to save it! No action was ever taken against her for this criminal action. ON A SCARY NOTE: IF THE DEMOCRATS RETAKE MAJORITY RULE OF THE HOUSE ON NOVEMBER 6, MAXINE WILL BECOME THE CHAIR PERSON OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BANKING AND FINANCE COMMITTEE!!!!!
  • More undeniable evidence was recently made public that proves that ranking members of the FBI, DOJ CIA, NSA and other Federal agencies Illegally worked to prevent Trump from being elected, and then to try and destroy his Administration. This new evidence includes more text and other government documents that confirm what had already been made public about various ranking officials in these Federal agencies deliberately and openly committing Federal crimes. These crimes included leaking false information to the MSM and using false information to obtain FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) secret court warrants to spy on Trump and members of his campaign, and then his Administration.
  • John Kerry has written a book about how badly Trump has handled all our foreign relations. He was on Dana Perino’s 2:00 show on Fox on Wednesday talking about all his efforts to try and prevent Trump from “damaging all our foreign relations”. These efforts include continuing to ILLEGALLY interact with various foreign governments after he left the position of “Secretary of State”. He even continued to talk to members of Iran’s ruling party advising them how to overcome any problems that resulted from the Trump Administration’s new sanctions against Iran. As a reminder Kerry was Obama’s “Secretary of State” when the sanctions against Iran were lifted and plane loads of money were delivered to Iran in the middle of the night. Money Iran used to expand its nuclear program and fund terrorist acts around the world that have taken American lives.
  • A Republican Congressional candidate in California was attacked by a man with a knife that was screaming obscenities about President Trump. The Republican candidate literally had to fight for his life. There has been a total “blackout “of this incident by the MSM.
  • Maine Senator Susan Collins and her staff are receiving vulgar and threatening calls about her plans to vote for judge Kavanaugh to be the next Supreme Court Justice. 3500 coat hangers were mailed to her office and she got a video recording from a hard left group warning her that they had raised over one million dollars to use to guarantee that she would not be re-elected if she voted for Kavanaugh.
  • The Democrats and the MSM are all insisting that “according to all the polls” the Democrats are going to win back the House and Senate on November 6 in an overwhelming “blue wave”. This is obviously an organized effort to convince Trump supporters that it would be a waste of their time to show up and vote on November 6. Based on the size and level of enthusiasm at President Trump’s campaign rallies compared to the Democrat’s campaign rallies, including Obama’s, I do not believe this claim to be true.

These examples are only a small sample of the ridiculous and disgusting things that the Democrats and MSM have said and done just in the last few days, and it seems to be getting worse every day that we move closer to the mid-term elections on November 6!

Those of us who want America to be “great again” must not be silent. We must continue to stand up and support President Trump’s tireless efforts to “make America great again”, especially at the ballot box!
