Where Is the Money Coming From?

 

There seems to be no end to the money flowing into the Democrats’ campaigns during the latter part of the mid-term elections that end next week on November 6, 2018! I knew that this election cycle was going to attract record amounts of money for a midterm election, but I had no idea how much money was being spent. I normally do not watch the local affiliates for ABC, CBS and NBC. However, after a friend told me how much political advertising she was seeing on these stations I watched them periodically over the last two days. As I scrolled back and forth on these stations I was shocked to see how much political advertising was running on these stations and how outright disgusting most of the advertising is. Labeling them as “attack ads” seems to be an understatement and the volume of these ads is shocking. It is also obvious to me that the pro Democrat and anti-Republican ads greatly outnumber the pro Republican and anti-Democrat ads. The Left clearly understands the “reach times frequency” advertising guidelines. These guidelines are: what demographics do you want to see or hear your advertising and how many times you want them to see or hear it? However, in this election cycle the Left clearly has the money available to buy advertising aimed at EVERY demographic and buy as many ads as they can!

The Left also has the complete and eager support of the MSM as they unite in their open hatred of everything Conservative, especially President Trump. When you combine the MSM’s total support with an unlimited advertising budget and you have what any marketing or sales executive would classify as a “perfect storm” situation to sell whatever they are selling. Now I know why all the political pundits are saying that the Democrats are going to take back control of the U.S. House of Representatives and take back many state governments on November 6, 2018. It is because the political pundits are seeing and hearing an overwhelming volume of pro-Left and anti-Conservative media like they have never seen or heard before.

If the Democrats do take back control of the House they also get control of EVERY House congressional committee. That means that on January 1, 2019 every House congressional committee will begin to focus all their efforts on impeaching President Trump. It is also important to note that in every state where the Democrats have control of the state government in 2020 they get to have a significant influence in the 2020 census. This will have an impact on future voting district alignments. The Left is totally united and obsessed with their dream of destroying our Constitution and making America part of a Socialist “One World Order”. They see President Trump as the only thing preventing them from accomplishing this goal, so their immediate objective is to remove him from office and destroy his administration, by any means necessary. Taking back control of the U.S. House of Representatives now appears to be their last shot at accomplishing their Socialist “One World Order” dream for many years to come. That is why billionaires like Tom Steyer, Bloomberg and George Soros are personally making unlimited funds available to Democrats running in this election.

In addition to having an unlimited budget available to them to advertise and promote their campaigns, and the full support of the MSM, Democrats running in this election also have the total support of every “Deep State” (anti-American, pro-Obama and pro-Hillary) person still working in our Federal government. During Obama’s eight years in office he dramatically increased the size of the Federal government EVERY YEAR! These “Deep State” people have the added incentive of saving their government jobs and a belief that they will never be fired or prosecuted for anything they do to protect their jobs. President Trump’s constant efforts to reduce Federal government implemented regulations and reduce the size of the Federal government has these people especially motivated to help destroy his administration.

When you add up everything the Left has manipulated in its favor in this election cycle it is a “perfect storm” like no one in American politics has ever seen before. This is why the Left seems to be so excited about its prospects of destroying our Constitution and turning America into the Socialist utopia they could only dream about in the past. However, the Left is totally missing one key element of this election cycle. That is the “fly over” state voters that are turning out in unbelievable numbers at every Trump rally!  I firmly believe that these Americans are doing what they always do when America is threatened. THEY STAND UP, SALUTE THE FLAG AND DO WHAT EVER THEY NEED TO DO TO PROTECT AMERICA! At this time in America’s history the best defense is to vote and vote Republican! I firmly believe that America will still be America on November 7, 2018.

If you have not voted, vote and vote REPUBLICAN! If you have voted encourage your relatives and friends that have not voted to vote and vote Republican!

 

The Democratic Party’s Derangement, Subversion, Sedition, and Treason, and the Main Stream Media’s Obsessive Support of Their Agenda

Definitions from the  Merriam-Webster dictionary:

Derangement: Mental Illness

Subversion: A systemic attempt to overthrow or undermine a government or political system by persons working secretly from within.

Sedition: Sedition is the rebellious talk and encouragement that might lead a mutiny and can be charged as a crime.

Treason: The crime of trying to overthrow your government or of helping your country’s enemies

Evolution:  A process of change in a certain direction.

The decision to use the words, “derangement”, “subversion, “sedition”, and “treason” to describe Democrats’ and the Democratic Party’s actions in America today was not a decision I made easily. If you really look at the actions of the people who claim to be Democrats today and the people and groups who support them, it is inarguable that those four words are the exact description of their actions and objectives. The Democratic Party has “evolved” into a party that can best be described as a coalition of individuals and groups who are obsessed with destroying America and ultimately replacing it with a “One World Order” government.

One of the most visible “groups” that is obsessively supporting the Democrat’s “final push” to “fundamentally change America” is the “Main Stream Media.” (MSM).  A brief, objective look at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, or NBC news, the front page and editorial page of the New York Times, and internet sites like Huffington Post or VOX will confirm this. Anytime I see anything from these, or dozens of other Liberal media, I cannot help but wonder how these people do what they do? You literally have to “suspend reality” to believe what they are saying.

Examples of “MSM” open dishonesty:

FOX and FRIENDS reported on 3/22/2017 that ABC, CBS and NBC have NOT reported on the brutal rape of the 14 year old girl in the Maryland high school bathroom by illegal immigrants. Bill O’Reilly reported the same thing that night and added CNN and MSNBC to the list. Obviously reporting news like this does not support the Democrat’s “open borders and sanctuary cities” agenda (which is a huge source of guaranteed votes and illegal votes for the Democrats).

The “MSM” is obsessing on a decade old story about a past Trump campaign manager, Manafort’s ties to a Russian businessman while ignoring the hundreds of millions of dollars Bill and Hillary took from foreign governments and individuals, including some with Russian ties, while she was Secretary of State and running for President. The “MSM” is also ignoring Clinton Campaign Chairman Podesta and other Clinton insiders’  “consulting work” with foreign Governments and business people, some of which was recent and some still happening.  http://www.podesta.com/ 

The “MSM” is obsessing with completely unsubstantiated claims about Trump campaign and Administration connections with Russians, while ignoring FBI Director Comey’s testimony that the Russians did NOT give Podesta’s e-mails to WikiLeaks. The “MSM” is also ignoring the question, “did the same people who hacked Podesta’s e-mails and the DNC also hack Hillary’s illegal and unprotected server (which contained State Secrets)?” Some internet experts say YES, and this information would focus new interest on the Hillary server investigation!

Other “groups” that openly obsess with the Democrat Party’s agenda are the coalition of ”Black Lives Matter” groups and Obama’s “Organizing for Action”. These, and many other groups like them, were awarded “tax exempt” group status by the Obama Administration and received hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from Obama Administration “illegal slush funds”, George Soros, the Ford Family Foundation and other extreme Left leaning organizations.

Another group of obsessive Democratic Party agenda supporters is loosely referred to as the “shadow government” This is Obama and Bill/Hillary Clinton supporters that are still employed at various Federal Government agencies and are openly violating a number of federal laws. In addition to other acts of subversion they illegally access private information about President Trump and other prominent Republicans and “selectively” make that information public in ways intended to advance the Democrat Party agenda. One example of this is parts of President Trump’s tax return records being copied and released to the public. Another is ranking Republican Congressman Jason Cheffetz’s personnel file being illegally accessed over 40 times by Secret Service personnel and other Federal Government employees (there has not been any reporting of any disciplinary action against any of the people who illegally accessed his file). Another example is various members of Congress having their phone calls taped and the transcripts selectively released.

Here are a few specific examples of recent deranged, subversive, seditious, and treasonous Democrat and Democratic Party, anti-American and anti-Trump activities:

Employees at VA facilities and other Federal Government facilities refused to hang portraits of President Trump in the facilities. When veterans went to VA facilities to hang portraits of President Trump they were refused access to the facilities or the portraits were taken down by facility staff after the veterans left. When asked why the facility staff refused to allow the portraits to be hung they said that “Trump was not their president and that he was going to be impeached and removed from office”!

RINO Senator Lindsey Graham has spent the last few days getting in front of every TV camera he could find saying negative things about, or at least questioning everything President Trump is doing. One example was that if President Trump’s proposed budget had any cuts to the “State Department” budget it “was dead upon arrival at his desk”.

A Democratic Congressman on FOX news on 3/15/2017 insisted that Obamacare is working well and that all that is needed to fix it is to “empower states to regulate insurance premiums”! Really? Does anyone not know that would put ALL insurance companies out of business and force everyone in America into government run healthcare?

Right after she left office Loretta Lynch, former Obama Attorney General, recorded a video that was released by the Congressional Democrats where she looked into the camera and encouraged violent Anti-Trump protest. Here is one quote from the video, “They’ve marched, they’ve bled and yes, some of them died. This is hard. Every good thing is. We can do this again.”

Senator Tim Kaine, and 2016 VP candidate said in a TV interview that, “Democrats must be willing to fight Republicans in the streets”.

Recent violent, and destructive (with no arrest) anti-conservative speaker riots at Berkley were led by a middle school teacher who gave TV interviews, including on FOX, where she loudly and angrily  proclaimed it was her right to lead the protest and encourage violence to fight against “Fascism”. At last reporting she is still employed.

During the “Women’s March” on Washington Madonna (on camera wearing a vagina hat) said that she, “wanted to blow up the White House”.

During the “Woman’s March” on Washington Ashley Judd (on camera wearing a vagina hat) called President Trump, and all his supporters, all the negative names the Democrats like to use to describe Conservatives, and then added in Nazi and Hitler. She also included in her poorly delivered and somewhat disjointed monotone, various vulgar references to female body parts.

Federal Judges blocking President Trump’s recent travel bans saying in their official rulings that they blocked the bans implementation based on President Trump’s campaign rhetoric. One judge even declared that the ban violated potential immigrants’ Constitutional rights? I do not understand how people who have never been to America have rights under our Constitution?  It is very clear under Federal law that our President has the undisputed authority to issue executive orders like this to keep America safe. Other Presidents have done this in the past, including Obama, with no issues or resistance. This is another good example of how the “shadow government’ described above operates.

The Democrats love to deliberately use false numbers to loudly support their position on every issue. The latest is their claim that “Obamacare” is doing well and has provided insurance coverage for over 20 million people who were not previously covered. The most credible numbers that I can find indicate the number is actually only 14 million and 11.1 MILLION OF THOSE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ADDED TO MEDICAID. SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE CHILDLESS, ABLE BODIED ADULTS. The remaining 2.9 million number is steadly declining due to huge premium increases and huge deductibles and co-pays

During a TV interview with Bret Baier Senator Schumer said that if President  Trump’s proposed budget contained any funds for the border wall that he would force a government shut down and it would  be the REPUBLICAN PARTY’S FAULT!.

Donna Brazile, former DNC Chair and lifelong Liberal spokesperson, repeatedly denied passing confidential debate information to the Clinton campaign team prior to a Presidential debate. One of those times was on FOX news where she denied it and then loudly said, “I am a Christian so I know what persecution is and I am being persecuted about this”. Now she has publicly admitted that she lied and did give the confidential information to the Clinton campaign. Based on my knowledge of Christianity, regardless of what Christian faith you choose to believe in, it is not OK to cheat/steal and then lie about it repeatedly to cover it up. Seems that the Democrats believe differently and live by  a different standard?

Obviously this is only a tiny sample of the anti-Trump, anti-American activities that are openly happening in America today. It would be practically impossible to compose a complete list!

We must stand firm in our support of President Trump and the actual Conservatives in Washington!

When Did the NEWS Stop Being the NEWS, and WHY?

President Trump and his supporters have created a new name for the Main Stream Media (MSM) and have made it very popular in recent months. It is “fake news”!  I have personally been trying to understand the varied reports in the “MSM” in America, so this “fake news” description suddenly made sense to me. It began when I organized my thoughts about the MEDIA in America today, versus what we had when I was a child living in rural America. When I made that mental analogy, and thought about everything that is happening now it is easier for me to understand how the” MSM” got to be what it is today.

In the early 1950s it was “normal” for my family and all our neighbors to live in a three room, tin roofed house on a dirt road. We had “outdoor plumbing”, our meals were cooked on a wood stove and the other two rooms were heated by a ”pot-bellied stove”.

During the 1950’s three things happened that changed our lives forever (and ultimately the world).

  • The first thing was when we got an electric stove to cook our meals!
  • The second thing was when we got our first TV! We had to have an outdoor antenna mounted on a long water pipe so someone could go outside periodically and manually turn it until someone inside yelled that we could see something on the screen. There were only a very limited number of channels and they only had programs broadcast beginning in the late afternoon with “The News” at 6:00 and other programs until later at night when the programing ended with the late night “NEWS. The exception to this schedule was on weekends when there was a “late show” after the “NEWS”. And YES, we called it “THE NEWS” and the people delivering it “Reporters”. We never had any doubt that it was really the “NEWS”, and that it was being accurately “Reported”.

>   One of the many things we learned from “The News” was that trans-   continental flights were becoming somewhat common place for people other than ranking military officers or heads of state. The world was clearly “shrinking”.

  • The third thing was when we got telephone service. The phone company strung a line down our dirt road and hooked up all the houses on the road to that line. It was known as a “party line” since everyone on the line shared the line. Each house had its own different ring pattern so you knew if the call was for someone in your house.

Why did I say these three things changed our lives, and ultimately the world forever? Because they were the first steps to begin fifty years of rapid technological development that for all practical purposes “shrank” America and the world.  Suddenly more people had access to information every day that they never had before. And more importantly, the people providing the information began to realize that they were in a position that no one had ever been in before! They began to realize how much opportunity they had to influence the world. And then for some of these people “greed” kicked in and they began to be obsessed with feeding their egos and amassing “power and money”.

Fast forward for fifty years and look at the unimaginable technological advances we experienced. Computers, the internet, car phones, cable TV, satellite TV, cell phones, social media, iPhones, and iPads. Now practically everyone has access to “News” 24/7 and almost anyone can create “News” and share it. With every new media innovation the “News” became less reliable and the liberals and “MSM” became more obsessed with feeding their egos and amassing “power and money”!

In addition to the unimaginable technological advances something else happened during those fifty years. Liberals began to aggressively advance their liberal/progressive agenda in a number of ways. They began to slowly but steadily take control of the “MSM’ and many of our colleges and universities. When Obama stepped onto the national stage the timing was right for them to strike!  He was the perfect “tool” for the liberals and “MSM” to take the final steps to “fundamentally change America” (and the world).

Fast forward another ten years and the “MSM” has become so dishonest that it is becoming increasingly difficult to know what is true and what is not. All you have to do to see this is watch FOX News where the liberals like Bob Beckel, Julie Roginsky, Mary Anne Marsh, or any of the dozens of other hard left liberals who are on FOX regularly, when they “debate” the conservatives on FOX about various current events. When you do this you will have to wonder how two people’s views on the same subject could be so extraordinarily different that it is not possible for them to be on the same planet!  Their differences are not simply a different interpretation of facts. Somebody is staring into the camera and deliberately delivering “fake news”!  Every one of us has the right, and an obligation to choose our news sources carefully, to listen to both sides of an issue, and make a rational decision as to what is right for America, and then to insist that our elected officials “do the right thing”.

 

Facts for Michael Moore, Madonna, Katy Perry, Ashley Judd, et all

Fact 1: You have the right in America to free speech and peaceful assembly. However the right to free speech does not allow people to publicly say things like Madonna said at the rally in Washington, “I have thought a lot about blowing up the White House”! You also need to be aware that you do not have the right to declare an election for the U.S. President invalid because you do not like the results. You DO NOT speak for all of America. At the regret of sounding arrogant “obamaish” I will repeat what he rudely said to Senator John McCain in one of the extremely rare times he actually made a weak attempt to do his job and held a bi-partisan meeting at the White House. Obama said, “Elections have consequences, I won”.

Donald Trump won this election with a big Electoral College margin. That is not going to change. Regarding the Electoral College, I have written and published articles about the Electoral College several times in recent months and about how brilliant and far sighted our Founding Fathers were when they created it over 200 years ago. It was created as a way to form the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I firmly believe that without the Electoral College, the Constitution would not have been ratified by all the states that existed at the time. I am also convinced that the Electoral College is as critical to our way of life today as it was then. It prevents California and New York City from having the final say in who our President is and what our national and international policies will be! The Electoral College is part of our Constitution and is NOT going to be changed!

Fact 2: The Democratic Party is DEAD. You Liberals killed it and are in the process of making sure it cannot be revived in any of our lifetimes. You lost the White House, both Houses of the US Congress, most of the State Governments and you are going to eventually lose the Supreme Court, regardless of what Senator Schumer said! You reappointed Nancy Pelosi as House Minority leader, you are about to appoint Keith Ellison (a RADICAL RACIST AMERICA HATING MUSLIM) as head of the National Democratic Party. You have twenty two Democratic Senators up for reelection in the mid-term elections in 2018. Many of these Senators are in states that President Trump easily won. In case you do not understand what will likely happen in the 2018 elections in these states? It means that after these elections the Democratic Party will be even more DEAD than it is now!  With 65 to 70 of the 100 Senate seats filled by solid Republicans after the 2018 elections no one can prevent President Trump’s picks for the Supreme Court from being approved, and there will likely be at least three of the nine replaced in the next four years!

Fact 3: President Trump’s Cabinet choices are the most successful, qualified, patriotic picks that I have ever seen. Schumer can grand stand for the TV cameras and the rino Republicans can let him get away with delaying their approval but he cannot stop their approval. They will serve America WELL! I wrote about what an extraordinary group of people they are in my article published last week.

Fact 4, my final note in this article: No democratic country has ever survived when it stopped being a strong two party country! You self-centered pompous asses are destroying our country and the “sheeple” are following you!  For example the LGBTQ “dance party” on Vice President Elect Pence’s front lawn DID NOT HELP YOUR CAUSE! Look in the mirror and WAKE UP before it is too late!

Successful Patriotic Federal Government Cabinet Members and Department Heads Versus Failed Idealogues

I have heard and read a lot of Liberal “displeasure” regarding President Elect Trump’s picks for his Cabinet.  Many Liberals are especially upset that so many of Trump’s picks have long and successful careers in the private sector and are wealthy. Why? That does not surprise me at all. It is just one more example of how irrational, incompetent, and in many cases corrupt Obama’s Liberal base is.

There are two basic rules that all successful business people follow. These rules have never failed to prove to be RIGHT. They are:

  1. You can delegate authority but not responsibility. This means that if you are the person “in charge” you are ultimately responsible for EVERYTHING that the people reporting to you do.
  2. The most successful managers are the ones who are always trying to “hire their replacement”. What this means is that the most successful people in the business world are the people who, when they have a job opening to fill, work very hard at filling that position with the most qualified and successful person they can hire.

There is never any justification for making exceptions to either of these two basic rules.

These basic rules do not just apply to the free enterprise business world. They also apply to our government beginning with the President. It is especially important when the President is making his picks for his Cabinet and Department heads. An obvious example of a President/executive who failed miserably at following these basic rules of business, numerous times, is Obama. He appointed sycophant ideologues to every position he had the authority to fill and then every time there was a major mistake made by, or worse a corrupt act carried out by, any branch of the Federal Government, he said that he first “heard about it in the news”.

All of the members of a President’s cabinet are absolutely critical to the Presidents success in taking care of America and positively influencing what happens in the rest of the world. Two that are especially critical are the Secretary of State and the U.S. Attorney General. 

Regarding the Secretary of State, when you compare Hillary and John Kerry to Rex Tillerson the difference in their resumes is SHOCKING!  Hillary’s entire adult life is a public record open book beginning with her being a devoted Saul Alinsky disciple in college, to her record of deliberate gross negligence, incompetence and treason while she was Secretary of State. John Kerry’s entire adult life is also a public record open book with the highlights being a failed Presidential run and ending with four years racing around the world being an Obama sycophant promoting Obama’s failed international policies. Rex Tillerson’s record is one of a lifetime of hard earned personal success in one of the most competitive (ruthless) industries in the world. He began his career at ExxonMobil as an entry level Production Engineer straight out of college. He spent his entire career there eventually working his way up the ladder to be the company’s top executive in 2006. Under his leadership the company has done extremely well including doing business in many foreign countries. One of the many reasons that ExxonMobil has been so successful doing business in many foreign countries is that it has its own private “State Department” in its corporate headquarters. Quoting “Bloomberg Business Week”, “Behind the walls of ExxonMobil’s secluded corporate headquarters outside Dallas, Texas a little-known intelligence unit works to keep top executives informed on economic, social and political situations around the world so they never walk into a foreign negotiation unprepared. The analysts compile risk profiles for every place Exxon has assets, personnel or may be considering investing”.  As noted earlier the differences in the resumes of Hillary, Kerry and Rex Tillerson are SHOCKING!  Rex Tillerson’s resume is a perfect example of what a Cabinet Member’s resume should be!

Regarding the U.S, Attorney General (AG), when you compare the resumes of Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch and Jeff Sessions the difference is SHOCKING! The Holder family and Obama family have been connected by the same ideologies since their college days. Eric Holder’s wife and Michelle Obama were roommates in college and formed the first black only sorority. Eric Holder has been one of the most racist and corrupt Assistant AG’s (under Bill Clinton) and AG’s under Obama in the history of the Department of Justice. Holder’s racist and corrupt history has been written about extensively in a number of books and articles. I wrote about this in detail in one of my recent articles about the “Department of Injustice”. Loretta Lynch stepped right in and continued to lead the Department of Injustice just like Holder did but with less public visibility. Jeff Sessions also has a public open book resume. He has a long and distinguished career that makes him one of the most qualified potential U.S. Attorney Generals to ever be chosen for that position. His impressive biography is available on-line if you wish to read it.

When I look at every one of President Elect Trump’s picks they all have several things in common. None of them need the position they have been chosen to fill. They are all highly qualified for the position they have been chosen to fill. They all have money and have, or had power in their professional careers. They all are volunteering to serve their country, in very difficult and personally demanding jobs out of a sense of duty to their country. Many will be “dollar a year” people, which means they will only accept one dollar a year in salary. None of them is an ideologue or a sycophant or has ever spoken a negative word about America. When you compare every one of President Elect Trump’s picks to all of Obama’s the differences are SHOCKING! .

As I said in closing my article last week, getting President Elect Trump elected was only the beginning. We must continue to support him, his staff and the actual Conservatives who are in Washington so Trump can do what he set out to do. Stay informed and involved. Communicate with your elected representatives and demand changes regarding term limits, open public records, transparency in all government activities, fiscal responsibility, and reasonable performance standards for all government employees.

 

 

 

 

 

Obamacare, Just One of Many Reasons Why this Election is Critical

As we get closer to the end of this election more information about the Left’s lies and corruption becomes public every day. These reports include details about rampant voter fraud and intimidation in many areas of the country with the Department of Injustice and Federal Election Commission ignoring the fraud, and actually facilitating it in some instances. Plus there is an endless stream of reports about incompetence, fraud and mismanagement throughout the government including the corruption in the FBI in its deliberate mishandling of Emailgate. With all that is happening and being reported by FOX and other select media, and then being shared on Face Book and twitter, it seems like Obamacare problems and issues are somewhat old news. However, with all that just became public about Obamacare it is obvious that this election will determine if Obamacare is replaced with something better or something worse. “Something worse” is a single payer system, which is government run healthcare like the VA for everyone!

The arrogant indifference to the truth and the rule of law displayed by the Obama Administration and the Democrats in Congress regarding the “Affordable Care Act” inception, approval, implementation and administration has been inconceivable from the beginning. To use an old quote, you would “have to be living under a rock” to have missed hearing the lies and insults to the “average American” made by Obama, Democrats and people like Johnathan Gruber. You would also have to be “living under a rock” to NOT be aware of the stream of illegal Executive Orders that Obama issued during the implementation of Obamacare. Some of the most notable lies/insults were:

  • We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it.
  • If you like your Doctor you can keep your Doctor.
  • If you like your health care plan you can keep you health care plan.
  • We are going to bend the cost of health care curve down.
  • Jonathan Gruber said at a conference about Obamacare, “the law was written to hide crucial details from an American public too dumb to understand.…..” (Gruber is the MIT professor who was involved in drafting the original Obamacare plan).

Of course none of these lies, or any of the other lies told over the years are even remotely true. What I and my wife have experienced since the implementation of Obamacare (and we are not even on Obamacare) is the absolute opposite of what was promised, and our experience has been mild compared to what many Americans have experienced. Our Doctor sold his private practice to the local hospital chain and left the profession, we lost our $1,000 annual preventative care allowance, our deductibles have increased, I have had to wait for approvals for certain treatments, it is harder to get appointments with our new primary care Doctor, our premiums have increased, we have been forced to change carriers every year except this year and our Eye Doctor stopped accepting our current coverage so I have to pay him in cash for my annual checkups (I am over 65  so I am Medicare/United Health Care). Regarding my Medicare coverage, my private medical care coverage provider required me to change to it as my primary coverage when I turned 65. My monthly premium for Medicare has been “means tested” (based on our joint annual income) since I signed up for the plan. What that means is that my monthly Medicare premium, which is deducted from my Social Security check, is $66 more than the normal base cost, and it will increase another $40 on January 1. My wife will be forced into the same situation when she turns 65 next Month.

Regarding premium increases, the Obama Administration now acknowledges that in January there will be a “double digit increase” in monthly premiums. When pressed by some members of the media, the Administration said the increases would “average 25 percent”. According to some reports I saw yesterday and this morning, in some states it will be well over 100 per cent, which basically makes it unaffordable for people and families who are not eligible for Government assistance with their premiums.

In addition to the illegal Executive Orders issued by Obama during the implementation of Obamacare let’s not forget the billions of dollars wasted on the development of state exchanges intended to manage Obamacare in each state, which have already failed or are now failing.

Regarding Insurance carriers who are participating in Obamacare and offering coverage in some states as a secondary partner with Medicare, the numbers are steadily declining and choices are constantly changing. As noted above, the insurance carrier that offered coverage for me as a partner with Medicare has changed every year since Obamacare was implemented except this year. This is another thing the Obama Administration continues to lie about.  The Obama Administration recently bragged about thirteen new insurance providers joining Obamacare in January in various states, but did not mention the 83 carriers that are dropping out of the program on January 1.In some states that will leave only one insurance provider in the program.

And one more new lie is that over 20 million people who did not have insurance before Obamacare was implemented now have insurance coverage. The truth is that the number is actually only 13 million and the majority of those are on Medicaid, which is totally Government (tax payer) funded, and many medical care providers will not accept patients who are covered by Medicaid.

And last but not least, does anyone really know how many people are forced to work part time because their employer will not provide health care coverage or cannot afford to provide it?  Or how many people refuse to work overtime or earn extra income because if they do they will lose their Obamacare subsidy? Obamacare is not only destroying our healthcare system it is hurting our economy badly and limiting some working people’s professional growth!

As I have written in past articles, the choice is clear in this election! Like him or not Trump is clearly the only choice if we want to save our Republic. Note to those of you who are supporting Hillary, look at history. No form of “Communism/Socialism” has been successful since the beginning of recorded history….

p.s. The new Democratic talking point is, “The current Obamacare problems are the Republicans fault because they blocked proposed plan fixes” ! Really?

 

The left Stream Media Bias, Complicity, and Corruption

It has been obvious for many years that most of the media is liberal and left leaning. However it was not until Obama’s first campaign for President that much of the media stopped even pretending that it was actually trying to be unbiased in its “reporting”. This past weekend I saw the most blatant example of media bias I have ever seen. The mass media was so obsessed with the eleven year old Trump tape that I had to turn off my TV and leave it off most of the time from Friday night until Sunday night. It was so bad that even Fox was hard to watch since most of their programming features a split screen with people from the Left and Right “debating”. Over the weekend most of what I heard when I did watch Fox was the people on the Left loudly expressing their fake outrage over the Trump tape.

There were two different things that clearly made the media’s obsession with this ONE tape be undeniable proof that they are seriously biased to the point of being unethical if not criminal. First, obviously the tape is distasteful but what about when you compare it to everything the Clintons have done over the last 40 years! And second it is even more astonishing that while the mass media was frantic in its obsession with the Trump tape, WikiLeaks was steadily releasing hacked emails with some of the most damning information released to date about Hillary, Hillary’s Campaign staff, the Obama Administration, and the Democratic National Committee Regarding the Clinton’s history, I have written a number of detailed articles about their lies, scandals, corruption, and now treason and posted them here on my website.

It was not just the broadcast media that was obsessing about the Trump tape. My internet home page is Yahoo. I use it because the news articles featured on it are from a broad mix of publications which allows me a quick look at what is being, or has been published about current events from a variety of print media sources. Every time I went on line during the time frame noted above the main article that popped up was about Trump and the tape, and several of the articles featured below the main article were also about Trump and the tape. The WikiLeaks releases were being totally ignored here too.

Beginning on Monday some media outlets began to report on the information in the WikiLeaks documents while some continue to ignore them. I strongly suspect that if it was not for FOX, twitter, Facebook and a few public forums like iPatriot we still would know very little about the damning information in the continuing WikiLeaks documents release.

When you add the information in the current WikiLeaks documents about the Clinton’s, the Obama Administration, and their staff and supporters’ corruption to the information in previous documents released by WikiLeaks, Gufficer 2.0, and another anonymous hacker group in Washington, it is undeniable that the “Left Stream Media” has been complicit in the corruption.

Regarding the words “complicit” and “corruption”, I choose to use them here because, by definition that is exactly what has been, and is happening.

Some of the Information in the documents in the current WikiLeaks releases detail:

> How the Clinton campaign, The Democratic National Committee, the Obama Administration, and staff and their supporters (including some in the media) conspired against Bernie Sanders to assure that Hillary was the “anointed one”.

> That Hillary had at least some of the debate questions in advance. Members of the media and journalist (I use the term loosely here) were regularly sharing other confidential information with the Clinton campaign and accepting proposed articles and news report from the Clinton campaign to use as their own! And no one has been fired or even suspended!

> The Obama administration, including Hillary’s State Department was illegally arming rebel groups in Libya working through two allies, Saudi Arabia and Qartar, with the arms winding up being used against us and even going to ISIS and other established terrorist groups (details about this are in an email from Hillary) .This confirms why that CIA safe house was in Benghazi and staffed with ex-Special Forces “contractors”. They were sent there to try and regain control of the arms.

> The Clinton campaign staff constantly strategized about how to make Emailgate disappear. When it became obvious that it was not going to disappear, even with help from the “Left Stream Media” who ignored it or minimized it, they turned to the Department of Injustice to bury it.

> The Clinton campaign staff constantly strategized about how to make Hillary look like a warm and likable people person and to hide her obsession with secrecy and her dislike and disdain for people in general.

These examples are just the tip of the iceberg of information contained in the continuing WikiLeaks document release, and the previous releases noted above, yet it continues to be ignored and/or minimized by the Clinton campaign with help from the “Left Stream Media”. The typical Clinton response to any of it is to deny, deflect, ignore and then lie and lie some more, which works only because they have the support of a compliant and complicit “Left Stream Media”.

Whether or not you like or support Trump, he is our last chance to save our Republic on November 8!

 

As We Count Down to the Election the Mainstream Media, Democrats, and rino Republicans are Coming “Unhinged”

No lie or fabrication is off limits as the Mainstream Media, Democrats. And rino Republicans try to stop Trump’s march to the White House.

Anti-Trump:

This was an Esquire headline on Wednesday 8/03:

A Mutiny Is Brewing on Trump’s Nuclear Submarine

The captain has lost his mind, and they’re scrambling below deck

The Daily Beast on 8/04:

Election Over

Other headlines or reports:

Trump is sick.

Trump is unstable.

Trump is going to quit. (really!)

The Republicans are getting ready to replace him.

Trump is out of control and  ”mailing it in”.  “He is so out of control that his staff is suicidal”.

The desperate GOP is planning an “intervention” with Trump.

The GOP is running out of time to fix Trump.

Rino Republicans are publicly endorsing Hillary and saying Trump is too dangerous.

Trump has a long history of “stiffing” contractors and people who work for him and has been sued for it many times .Kimberly Guilfoyle and Monica Crowley, both accomplished attorneys totally debunked this accusation on Bill O’Reilly recently.

Trump is crashing in the polls while Hillary is getting a strong “bounce”. Based on the turnout at Trump’s campaign events versus Hillary’s events, I do not believe the polls are accurate.

I wrote about poll accuracy last week. For many years I have noticed that they have not been accurate. I believe there are two reasons for this. One is that some pollsters deliberately skew the results in an effort to influence an election. The second and main reason they are not accurate is the increasing lack of a reliable list of people to be polled who accurately reflect the voters. This is the result of the rapidly increasing number of voters who no longer have a telephone land line. They use cell phones and many of them use the phones to screen their calls to avoid telemarketers (and pollsters). An increasing number of these people also refuse to join groups like political parties or give out their phone number. There is also an increasing number of people who will not acknowledge who they are supporting politically, or will lie about it to avoid controversy, a risk of being ridiculed by family or friends or possibly being black listed at work. Consequently polls today are a good indicator of trends but they do not accurately predict results. Trump is a good example of this. He got more votes in the Republican primary than any Republican candidate in history, even with 16 qualified opponents initially, some of them staying in the race until late in the primary process, yet the polls have consistently shown him to be losing to Hillary.

Recent fund raising reports also indicate the polls are not accurate. Hillary, with her massive national organization and the Democratic Party’s help, raised $90 million in July. Only $63 million goes to her. The rest goes to the Democratic Party for other candidates. Trump, without a massive national organization, raised $80 million, mostly from small donors.

This morning I heard a new word, “Palinize”. It is a reference to the main stream media trying to do to Trump what they did to Sarah Palin.

Pro-Hillary:

Jake Tapper was practically “fawning “ about the DNC as he did his nightly report one night during the convention. All the rest of the mainstream media did the same constantly, during and after the convention.

Juan Williams on the “Five” loudly stated that the “RNC was a disaster”. I am still hearing that from the Left every day.

Obama, during a White House joint press conference with the P.M. of Singapore, bluntly said that Trump is not QUALIFIED to be President. This came from a community organizer with a 7 & ½ year record of lies, failure, and corruption? He said the same thing about Romney.

During a pentagon press conference Obama warned Trump about the classified briefings and said Trump needs to be “Presidential”!

As of 8/01 network news channels mentioned Pat Smith’s appearance at the RNC one time, Khizr Khan’s appearance at the DNC 55 times.

The New York Times did not report on Chris Wallace’s Hillary interview on 7/31.

The Media is ramping up its attacks on Trump’s wife.

Quote from Pat Caddell about the media and the Polls. “This is what the media is willing to do, to try to elect her,” Caddell said. “This poll (Reuters) is nothing but a part of a media offensive. In the 45 years since I was a child, in top-level presidential campaigns, I have never seen the media on such a jihad, and so involved in hiding facts, and not following up. This is a crisis of democracy, what the press is now doing.” Note: Caddell has been a Democratic “operative” his entire adult life.

The Obama administration and other Democratic administrations are ramping up their efforts to elect Hillary by direct action or by pandering to special interest groups:

Terry McAuliffe, Governor of Virginia restored, by executive order, the voting rights of 200,000 convicted felons.

Jeh Johnson signed an order giving legal status to everyone in the U.S. who says that they came here after 2012 from Syria. This allows them to get a driver’s license and be eligible for welfare (with a driver’s license you can register to vote).

California is issuing driver’s licenses to illegals.

The DOJ (Department of Injustice under Obama) continues to battle states over voter ID laws.

Obama is stepping up his efforts to pardon/commute the sentences of prisoners in Federal prisons (214 on august 2}.

Special interest groups are so emboldened by Obama, Hillary, and the Democrats outreach to them that they are growing in size, the number of groups is increasing and their demands are becoming even more unreasonable.  There is now a “Black Lives Movement” that claims to be an umbrella group for all the other “Movements”, like BLM and they just issued their “platform” of demands. It includes things like slave reparations, the decriminalization of drug and sex crimes (and consequent release of people in jail for these crimes), and the elimination of police departments.

Every day we learn more about how incompetent, lying and corrupt the Obama Administration is. $400 million to Iran that they claim was not ransom. The BATF is ILLEGALLY maintaining gun owner personal information (preparing for gun confiscation?).  Obama is pardoning Federal prisoners at record rates, and he still has 5 months left in office. Look at Bill and Hillary’s record. Hillary will make things even worse in America.

Obama did say one thing that turned out to be true. On October 31, 2008 Obama said, “we are five days away from fundamentally changing America”.

Expect the Trump bashing and fawning over Hillary to ramp up and the “noise” from the special interest groups to get louder everyday between now and the election.

This election will be decided based on voter turnout. Choose wisely and VOTE!
