Partisan Politics at its Worst in the Washington Cesspool!

Merriam Webster definition of Partisan: a firm adherent to a party, faction, cause or person: especially one exhibiting blind, prejudiced and unreasoning allegiance: example – political partisans who only see one side of the problem

I have been closely watching current events and their effects on the US economy for over fifty years. During all this time it seemed to me that partisan politics steadily went to even more extreme levels than it was in previous years. This was especially noticeable beginning in the 70’s and it seemed to always peak around national elections. The advent of cell phones, computers, the internet and cable TV made partisan politics much more visible and gave partisan politicians a very “public platform” to promote their, and/or their party’s agendas. As this “public platform” became “24/7 and 365” more politicians, especially on the national level realized that they could use it to promote their personal agendas, not just their party’s. This is how the “Washington Cesspool” became so full of politicians who are obsessed with their own personal WEALTH and POWER!  And they will say or do anything to amass and hold on to personal wealth and power, especially the POWER.

A study referred to in a Wikipedia article, the “American National Election Study”, came to the same conclusion that I described above regarding partisan politics in America. The “Study”, which began in 1952, concluded that over 60 years, “the meaning of the term (partisan politics) in America has changed dramatically over the last 60 years”. The “Study” concluded that originally a person’s voting record determined if they were partisan. Now it is defined as a person who is psychologically attached to an agenda or party platform. Based on the Left’s behavior today that works for me.

The change in partisan politics from support for party platform planks to personal aggrandizement and ideology is by far the most visible on the Left side of politics in America. The Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and the MSM) are so obsessed with their personal agendas that they will not let anything, including our Constitution interfere with their efforts to expand their personal power. In fact, they see our Constitution as the main thing standing between them and their personal agendas! They are so obsessed with destroying our Constitution they have taken their open attacks on our Constitution to unprecedented levels, and with the eager assistance of the MSM, they are flaunting it! Here are a few recent examples:

  • The Electoral College: People on the left have been working to destroy this core part of our Constitutional Republic election process for 20 years. Kristian Gillibrand, a New York Senator and Democratic candidate for president recently announced that she was going to introduce an amendment to a bill in congress to eliminate it! Ten states with liberal elected officials have passed, or introduced, state laws that change the way their states electors are allocated to candidates. These laws are in direct violation of our Constitution, but the Left does not care and insist this is a battle they can win.
  • Free Speech: Christiane Amanpour, during a CNN interview with James Comey asked why the FBI did not shut down “hate speech” like “lock her up”. She insisted that “hate speech” like that coming from the Trump campaign was “dangerous” and should be shut down. She only referenced “hate speech” coming for the Trump campaign, nothing about the blatant lies and accusations the Left is constantly spewing.
  • Religious Freedom: This freedom has been under constant attack for decades but during the past few years they seem to be especially focused on practicing Christians, while the Left is loudly insisting that people who are Muslims be protected from any form of discrimination.
  • Freedom of the Press: The Obama Administration illegally wire tapped Fox News reporter James Rosen and his family because they did not like his reporting as part of the White House Press Corps. This illegal spying on an American citizen morphed into a massive attack on many American’s “Freedom of Speech” when it became S.O.P. with the Obama Administration, especially during his second term. Practically everyone that publicly opposed the Left’s agenda was targeted. Not only did the Obama administration illegally spy on an untold number of American’s communications, their names and selected parts of their communications that could be used against them politically were “leaked” to members of the media that shared the Left’s views. This included the Trump campaign headquarters in Trump Tower! After the November 2016 election Obama ordered all US intelligence agencies to ramp up their surveillance efforts on the Trump campaign and transition team.
  • Gun Control: This Freedom has been under constant attack on a national, state and local level for decades. In recent years it has developed into a national movement with many organized and heavily funded groups working full time to destroy this freedom bit by bit. Their latest organized effort is to destroy the NRA financially. They are putting huge pressure on all financial institutions, insurance companies, manufacturers, large retail conglomerates and sporting goods companies to refuse to do business with the NRA, or associate with the NRA in any way. This effort is beginning to yield results and could destroy the NRA. The NRA is, in affect the last thing standing between us and the elimination of our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. As usual the Left wants a double standard for themselves and us. The “elite” can afford to live and work in places that have security systems, and in many places armed guards, but they do not think those of us in “Middle America (deplorables) should have the right to “own and bear arms”.
  • In one of my past articles I wrote about the Obama administration “stacking the deck” against Conservatives, especially after the November 2016 election. The Obama Administration’s policy was to hire as many Federal employees as possible and promote as many Federal employees as possible to positions of power in every Federal agency and department. After President Trump was elected Obama ordered every Federal agency and department to accelerate their hiring and promotion efforts to assure there were as many “Obamaites” (Obama worshipers and Trump haters) as possible in our Federal government. These people are still sabotaging the Trump administration every day in every way possible. One example that is happening right now is Congressman Elijah Cummings, Chair of the House Oversight Committee grossly misusing his position to promote claims made by a White House “whistle blower” (an Obamaite) that President Trump violated White House security approval procedures. According to the “Obamaite” the President ordered that dozens of his staff members, including members of his family be immediately given high level security clearances so they could begin work in his administration. Where were these “Security Officials” during the time between the election in November and the January 19 Presidential inauguration? This is just one of many constant examples of ranking Democrats continuing to use positions of power to unethically, and in many cases, illegally work at trying to destroy the Trump Presidency.

The double standard of justice in the Washington Cesspool is becoming even more visible!

What I have noted here is just more evidence that what I wrote about in previous articles was correct. The Left is totally obsessed with total power over everyone and everything in America and will go to any lengths to accomplish that. The first step in achieving that goal is to shred our Constitution. If they accomplish that America will be “Fundamentally Changed” FOREVER!

We cannot let any of this happen! Many times over the years I have talked about how brilliant and far seeing our Founding Fathers were! This is one of those times. I still wonder how they developed and got a Constitution ratified over 200 years ago that is still so relevant and strong in today’s world!

When Did the Left Transition From Partisan Politics to Treason?

As I wrote last week, I have been reluctant to use the word “Treason” to describe the Left’s behavior in the “Washington Cesspool” and some of the state governments. But after much thought, I am now convinced that what the Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and the MSM) is saying and doing clearly meets the first part of the Merriam Webster definition of “Treason”.

Merriam Webster definition of Treason: “the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one’s country or of assisting its enemies in war; specifically: the act of levying war against the United States or adhering to or giving aid and comfort to its enemies by one who owes it allegiance”.

When the new Congress was sworn in on January 3, 2019 a handpicked by Pelosi, hard Left, America hating, power mad Democrat became the chairperson of every committee, and sub-committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. These people apparently have unlimited power and unlimited budgets (it is not supposed to be this way in America, but it is now)! All of these people are openly using their unlimited power and unlimited budget to accomplish the same thing. That one thing is to destroy the Trump Presidency. Over the last few days these people have also made it clear that now they will not be satisfied with destroying the Trump Presidency (“attempting to overthrow the government of one’s country”)! Now they are making it crystal clear that they are also going to destroy members of President Trump’s family and as many of his close associates and supporters as they can! It is not supposed to be this way in America! This is what happens in third world countries when one group of people forcibly takes power over another group of people and immediately takes everything of value from every member of the former ruling family, and in some instances imprisons or kills them.

Here are a few examples of the Left’s current actions aimed at accomplishing their one goal:

  • Jerrold Nadler, chairperson of the House Judiciary Committee made the rounds on the Sunday MSM shows to announce that his committee, “would seek documents from more than 80 people and entities as part of a probe into possible obstruction of justice and abuse of power by President Trump. Some of the entities and people he named as examples were the DOJ, Donald Trump Jr, and the CFO of the Trump organization, Allen Weisselberg. Nadler also said, “we are going to initiate investigations into abuses of power, into corruption and into obstruction of justice. It’s our job to protect the rule of law (really?). It is very clear that the president obstructed justice”.
  • The first day of Michael Cohen’s (one of Trump’s former personal lawyers) testimony before Congress this week was a closed-door hearing before a House Committee. He was allowed to give a lengthy opening statement, that was leaked to the NY Times immediately by someone in the hearing and published by the Times while the hearing was in progress!
  • Cohen’s second day of hearings was public and broadcast by many of the networks. I had the privilege of watching and listening to most of this hearing while working on projects in my shop. It was truly “epic”.

Some of the things that were revealed during that hearing, that was sworn testimony and recorded were:

  • Cohen’s lawyer is lifelong Clinton “fixer” Lanny Davis who is allegedly representing Cohen FREE! 
    • Cohen did not volunteer to testify before Congress again just before going to prison for lying to Congress under oath and income tax fraud, among other things. Lanny Davis and other “powerful Democrats”, including current committee chairs collaborated and then “invited him” to testify again before selected committees just before reporting to prison.
    • Cohen is hopping for “re-consideration” for his pending prison sentence in exchange for his co-operating with Congress and the attorneys in the Southern District of N.Y. who are investigating President Trump’s alleged obstruction of justice.
    • Cohen’s statements and the documents and evidence he shared with the committee could not have been put together solely by him in the short period of time between when he was asked to testify again and his testimony. He obviously had “assistance” from knowledgeable people with a lot of resources. The documents were probably prepared by Lanny Davis and an experienced team of Democrats, lawyers and staff, and Cohen was well coached to say what they wanted him to say. Unfortunately, the results of the day of public hearing was that Cohen lied under oath again a number of times and will get more time in prison, not less.
  • Adam Schiff, one of the most unethical partisan Democrats in the “Washington Cesspool” chaired the committee that Cohen testified before, in private the third day. When the hearing ended Schiff, Cohen and every Democrat that was on the committee was “all smiles” for the TV cameras as they proclaimed it was a very productive hearing and Cohen was coming back for an additional day of testimony behind closed doors next week.
  • The hearings were deliberately scheduled to “compete” with President Trump’s meeting with North Korea’s dictator in Vietnam regarding the possible de-nuclearization of North Korea. This is unprecedented in American politics! What happened to the unbreakable rule that “politics stop at the water’s edge”?
  • Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law is another member of the Trump family that the Democrats are lazar focused on destroying (he is Jewish). The Democrats, with the eager assistance of the MSM, are leaking that, “members of the intelligence community” were strongly opposed to him getting a White House security clearance. None of the “officials” have been named and none of the reasons for their opposition have been made public?
  • Brietbart reported that, “Left -wing HBO host Bill Maher mocked voters in middle America on Friday’s (Feb 22) edition of “Real Time” explaining that less “affluent and educated” people in red states are jealous of those living in more prosperous states that tend to vote Democrat”. That was just part of his disgusting monologue. If you have not seen it the entire tirade of demeaning insults against Conservatives is available on the internet.

These are just a small sample of the Left’s OPEN EFFORTS to “overthrow” a Constitutionally elected President and destroy him, his family and as many of his supporters as they can, while making themselves and their party invincible! However, I still believe that they are all grossly underestimating President Trump and Middle America!

The Left’s Efforts to Destroy the Trump Presidency Have Become Frantic!

In some of my recent articles I wrote that the Left was obsessed with destroying the Trump Presidency because he was a threat to their power. When the new Congress was sworn in on January 3, 2019 this became even more obvious than it had been. The Democrats in the “Washington Cesspool”, with the support of the RINO Republicans and the eager assistance of the MSM, are flaunting their disdain for everything Conservative. And now Democrat party leaders in a number of states are “pilling on”. Nothing is “off limits” and facts do not matter. The only thing that matters is destroying the Trump Presidency.

I am still convinced that the Left’s sole objective is keeping total control of the power in Washington in their hands. However, I now think that there is something else the Left fears more than losing the power. If they do not succeed in destroying the Trump Presidency he will weaken the Left’s strangle hold on America, and the “Double Standard of Justice” that exist in the “Washington Cesspool” will be dramatically weakened. The “Washington Cesspool” cannot exist without the “Double Standard of Justice”.  

There has been a “Double Standard of Justice” in Washington for a long time. The Clinton administration relied on it to do as it pleased, but Bill was deceptive about it. He did not flaunt it. However, during Obama’s eight years in the White House it became an integral part of the operations of every branch of our Federal government. It got so deeply rooted in every branch of our Federal Government that it became an accepted way of life for the Left. It became a “Double Standard of Justice” on steroids for the Left! 

Past examples of the “Double Standard of Justice” are well known:

  • The Clintons used the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Initiative, Bill’s fundraisers for the African Aids project and the Haiti Restoration project to become billionaires and enrich a wide circle of friends and supporters.
  • Hillary and her State Department staff’s blatant violation of Federal Government security regulations to cover up her endless stream of “Pay for Play” activities, with no one charged with a crime. When Hillary and her staff were questioned about this by the FBI they were not under oath, the meetings were brief and no one took notes.
  • The DNC fixed the primary to be sure Hillary won.
  • Hillary and the DNC colluded with the Obama Administration, the FBI and DOJ to try and destroy the Trump campaign.
  • The Obama Administration’s “Fast and Furious” debacle.
  • The IRS illegally targeted over 100 conservative groups (and individual members of these groups), while handing out tax exempt IRS approvals to every radical group they could find.
  • The Benghazi cover up.
  • The Obama Administration’s illegal surveillance and “unmasking” of American citizens.   
  • The leadership of the FBI and DOJ openly worked at destroying the Trump campaign while protecting Hillary, and then openly plotted to remove an elected President from office. They were so unconcerned about how illegal their actions were, and any chances they would be charged with crimes, they left a long trail of text messages and e-mails behind documenting their actions!

In spite of how blatant these examples of the “Double Standard of Justice” were, no one involved went to jail, Obama was re-elected and the Clintons and Obamas (and many of their friends and supporters) became rich beyond their wildest dreams. 

And now we are seeing glaring examples of the other end of the “Double Standard of Justice”:

  • People who were associated with the Trump campaign have been subjected to “no knock” predawn raids by large numbers of heavily armed FBI agents, they and their families’ lives are being destroyed and some are facing many years in prison and huge fines. Nothing they have been charged with had anything to do with the Trump campaign. People on the left who did the same things these people are being charged with have been totally ignored.
  • Every Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives is now chaired by a hard-Left Democrat. Every one of these committees is spending millions of dollars to open new investigations into “everything Trump”. As noted earlier many Democrats in state governments are joining in these endless investigations and/or opening their own endless investigations into “everything Trump”. In some of these “investigations” the Left is also going after members of President Trump’s family.

When you look at these examples of the “Double Standard of Justice” that exist in the “Washington Cesspool it is easy to conclude that the “Washington Cesspool” is so deep and corrupt that it cannot be fixed. But that is beginning to change! Donald Trump declared he was running to be President on the Republican Party ticket, and then he won the election and was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America!

In recent months every top official in the FBI and DOJ has been forced to resign or been fired. The only one left is Rod Rosenstein at the DOJ and his resignation was just made public. Some of these people have been investigated by independent IG’s and some are still being investigated. There are strong indications that some of them will be charged with crimes. Lying under oath, tampering with evidence in Federal investigations, illegally leaking confidential information, and illegally plotting to remove a sitting President are some of the crimes they will likely be charged with. Andrew McCabe is the best example that these people will be charged with Federal crimes. He is on a nonstop stream of appearances on various media outlets insisting that everything he did was approved by FBI and DOJ officials, including James Comey and Rod Rosenstein! As I watched parts of his interviews over the last few days I thought to myself that this is the first serious crack in the “Washington Cesspool’s” “Double Standard of Justice”! And Donald Trump is still in the White House!

The Left Believes So Strongly That They Are Invincible They Have Become Irrational and Un-American!

As I wrote last week, the Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and the MSM) has become so obsessed with what they believe is their total power over America they think they are invincible. This is especially true as they display their open hatred for President Trump and his supporters. That is the only explanation for their irrational and un-American behavior. Everybody on the Left loudly insist that they know what is “wrong with America” and they know how to “fix it”. They are all mired so deep in this mindset that they stubbornly refuse to admit that anything good has happened in America since President Trump was elected. Anytime anyone tries to ask them a question they do not like they ignore the question, denigrate the question, or my favorite, they deflect the question by blaming Trump and his supporters for something else. The latest example of their puppet like deflection is the steady stream of people on the left being “talking heads” and somehow blaming President Trump and other prominent Republicans for “creating an environment” that caused so much negative focus on Virginia Governor Northam’s 34 year old racist picture, that he now denies was him. They clearly have a prepared script with specifics allegations against President Trump, Representative Scalise and Representative King to use to deflect any focus on the governor. The Left’s own attacks on the governor are also a deflection. The Left is using the racist claims to deflect attention away from their extreme stance on abortion. This is now their S.O.P. Deny, deflect, attack and then claim they are the only ones who can, “make America right again”. This is all they can do now because the Trump Administration has accomplished so much in his first two years!

Since President Trump was sworn in we have:

  • More Americans working than ever before. The highest labor participation rate we have had in decades.
  • Average increased income for working Americans of 3.3% in 2018. Working Americans also got bigger pay checks as a result of the Trump tax cuts.
  • America became the number one oil and gas producer in the world while meeting the goals set for it in the Paris Climate Agreement, even after President Trump withdrew us from the agreement. It is interesting to note that some of the other countries that are still part of the agreement did NOT meet their goals!
  • In recent trade talks between China and President Trump China committed to purchase a lot of American goods, including a large amount of soybeans, and to make Fentanyl be a controlled substance in China! Fentanyl overdoes in America has become a growing epidemic. There were 18,000 Fentanyl overdose deaths in America in 2018. Recently 254 lbs. of illegal Fentanyl were discovered in a load of cucumbers coming into the U.S. from Mexico. Experts say that a small amount no bigger than a few grains of salt can be a deadly overdose, so 254 lbs. would be enough to overdose millions of people.
  • GDP in America in 2018 was a record 3.2%. During Obama’s eight years GDP was dramatically below this every year he was in office.
  • 304,000 new jobs were created in January, in spite of the shutdown!  During President Trump’s two years in office American businesses have created an average of 250,000 new jobs per month. During Obama’s eight years in office there were times when you could add up the new jobs created in America for many months and it would not total 250,000. Obama even said that “those jobs are not coming back”.
  • There is a power generating plant in the county south of me. It had five towers working before the Obama Administration killed coal production. Four were shut down and one was converted to natural gas. The last one was shut down in 2015. For years there were miles of empty coal rail cars sitting idle, abandoned at the rail yard at the plant. Last Saturday as I passed by the plant I noticed all the rail cars were GONE. The railroad is using them to haul coal again! And there is a major construction project going on at the plant.

If the Left is not successful in destroying the Trump Administration before November 6, 2020, President Trump will be re-elected. The Left will never admit it but they know that is true. That is why they are so obsessed with attacking President Trump and his supporters. I am going to continue to support and bet on President Trump!

Postscript: I have been following politics my whole adult life, closely for over 40 years. During all this time I have never seen such disgusting un-American behavior like I witnessed from the Left before, during and after the 2/05/19 State of The Union address, especially during the address!

The Left Has Become So Obsessed With Power That They Believe They Are Invincible!

The Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and MSM) has become so obsessed with their Power they are deliberately putting the future of America at risk! In fact their actions are so extreme now that it looks like the destruction of our Constitution, as declared by Obama when he said, “we are going to fundamentally change America”, is their ultimate objective. As I think back about watching him say that on TV I had no idea that was really going to happen, much less this soon! Here are a few recent examples that prove that is happening now, and is a planned, organized and inflexible effort with everybody on the Left eagerly working to achieve that goal:

  • The Mueller pre-dawn raid on Roger Stone’s home is the latest and clearest example of the Left’s obsession with their own power and is undeniable proof that they believe they are so powerful they have become invincible (Merriam Webster definition of invincible: incapable of being conquered, overcome, or subdued). Several things make the Mueller raid one of the most glaring examples of the Left’s open disdain for our Constitution. The carefully planned and coordinated raid happened before daylight on Friday morning,1/25/19. The warrants for Roger Stone’s arrest were served by FBI officers in NINETEEN VEHICLES. SOME OF THE OFFICERS WERE WEARING RIOT GEAR AND CARRYING LONG GUNS. A HELICOPTER WAS HOVERING OVER THE BOAT DOCK ON THE RIVER BEHIND HIS HOUSE! AND CNN WAS COVERING IT AND BROADCASING IT LIVE (BUT CNN DENIED BEING TIPPED OFF IN ADVANCE?)! The alleged crimes Stone was charged with all happened after the 2016 election and had nothing to do with the election, including allegedly lying to Congress? A number of recognized legal experts have stated publicly that this raid is absolutely unprecedented in America! Pam Bondi, former Attorney General of Florida said in a Fox News interview that she had worked as a prosecutor since she was in her 20’s, had been on raids where dangerous career criminals with multiple outstanding warrants were taken into custody, and she had never seen anything like the Mueller raid. Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst said the same thing. Alan Dershowitz, a former Constitutional law professor, practicing attorney, author of many books about the Constitution and American legal system, and a hard Left Liberal, said the same thing. He reiterated that everything Stone was charged with allegedly happened after the 2016 election and had nothing to do with the election! Several of the legal experts came to the conclusion that this raid was Mueller sending a message to the world that he can and will do this to anyone he chooses, and that he is invincible (subordinate to NO ONE). If there was any doubt about this conclusion, leaking it to CNN in advance and letting them send a reporter and camera crew to report on the raid, as it was happening is proof that this conclusion is undeniable. Mueller deliberately made the raid be extreme and public! One of the legal experts noted that this kind of thing happens in other countries that are ruled by dictators, NOT in America! A final note on what makes this raid so un-American is that the judge that Stone appeared before after his arrest released him on “his own recognizance” (he was allowed to sign his own bail and did not have to post bond). This is a clear indication that the normal procedure would have been to notify Stone, through his attorney, that he was being ordered to voluntarily surrender to authorities at the appointed time and place. Not execute a raid of any kind.
  • Nancy Pelosi is also acting as if she is so powerful she has become invincible! She cancelled the President’s scheduled “State of the Union” speech, in writing! She agreed to reschedule the speech at a time of her choosing. She has repeatedly refused to even discuss the President’s border security plans and continues to do so. When asked recently by a reporter if she was willing to negotiate on a new border security plan she angrily replied, “have I not made my position on border security clear?”. She even refuses to acknowledge that her inflexible “no barriers stance” is in direct contradiction to her long public record of supporting border walls (and her state already has a wall)!
  • When the President agreed to sign a new bill reopening the government, based on a number of Democrats verbally agreeing (some publicly) to negotiate on a border security plan that did include barriers in some places, Pelosi and Schumer immediately held a joint press conference. In the press conference they gleefully declared total victory over the President and denigrated him in the worse possibly ways. Schumer even said twice that he, “hoped the President had learned his lesson and would not make the same mistake again”!
  • When a reporter recently asked Pelosi about the President having special legal protections while he was in office, she angrily denied that he does. One more example of the Left openly ignoring the existence of our Constitution.


America is clearly at a “fork in the road” where there are only two possible directions we can go. If we keep going to the Left our Constitution will be shredded and America will be, “fundamentally changed” forever. Or we can demand that we go to the Right and be that “shining city on the hill” that President Reagan described and moved us toward being. I firmly believe that with our support President Trump will continue to “Make America Great Again”, in spite of the Left’s obsession with wielding complete power over everyone who does not blindly follow them!  

Can America Survive the Left’s Vicious Attacks on Our Constitution?

Early in 2008 I was talking to a friend who is as politically active as I am. We were talking about how divisive politics had become, especially on a national level. At one point during the conversation he asked me a simple question. It was, “how did we get to this place in America”. I have thought back to that conversation a number of times over the years and every time I thought that we had to be at rock bottom politically. I thought that destructive divisive politics could not possibly get any worse than they were at that time. And each time they immediately got worse! That is still true!

All day every day I see and hear things from the Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and the MSM) that I have trouble comprehending. Their open hatred for “everything Trump” and his supporters is beyond description. It does not matter to the Left how much good news is available at the moment. All that matters to them is to highlight bad news for the Trump presidency, even if it is not true.

The Left has only one goal. Destroy the Trump presidency now. He cannot be allowed to still be in office on November 6, 2020! The Left is willing to pay any price to achieve that goal, even if it means the long-term destruction of America. They are the adult version of a spoiled child who deliberately breaks his favorite toy rather than share it with another child. But they claim, “Trump constantly throws temper tantrums”!

As I wrote last week, it is inarguable that the left has a detailed and carefully coordinated plan to take back the White House on November 6, 2020, if not before. They will not let anything stop them from accomplishing that goal. Nothing matters to them but having total power over and control of our government so they can make America be part of their dream of a one party “One World Order” and consolidate their power forever. Here is a small sample of the Left’s recent actions as they initiate their carefully coordinated plan to destroy the Trump presidency at any cost:

  • Nancy Pelosi informed President Trump, in writing that he could not give his annual “State of the Union” speech to Congress! This is unheard of!
  • More hard left Democrats formally announced that they were running for president in 2020. And they all had the same message. It was, “they are running because they are the only one who can fix everything that is wrong with America now and according to them it is all Trumps fault”. Every Democrat that could find a TV camera and microphone during the three-day MLK weekend specifically attacked Trump in very nasty ways. Candidates Biden, Sanders, Harris, Booker, Gillibrand and others like Representative Clyburn said that Trump was racist, a pathological liar, and could not be trusted in any way. The head of the Democratic Caucus, Hakeem Jeffries went even further when he said, in front of cameras and a microphone on MLK day, that Trump was the Grand Wizard of the KKK and the White House was now the KKK headquarters!  Alyssa Milano joined in the KKK references when she tweeted that “MAGA hats are the new white hood”.
  • At the RNC winter meeting there was an attempt to introduce a resolution as part of the party’s platform that President Trump’s bid to be re-elected on November 6, 2020 be unopposed on the Republican party ticket. I never thought that I would see something like this be an issue at the RNC! This is unheard of!
  • Alan Dershowitz, a former constitutional law professor and lifelong liberal Democrat recently published a long and detailed book titled, “The Case Against The Democratic House Impeaching Trump”. It was a legal analysis of our Constitution regarding impeaching a U.S. president. He lives in ultra-liberal Martha’s Vineyard. He openly contributed to Hillary’s campaign, campaigned for her and brags about voting for her. But as a result of him publishing this book he and his wife are being shunned by former friends and neighbors. Some former friends have publicly said that they would not attend any event if he was going to be there! He is also getting death threats!
  • The Left is refusing to consider any form of new wall being built on our southern border and is demanding that ICE be abolished. Their reasoning is that a wall is ineffective and immoral, and ICE is mistreating immigrants, especially children. A very brave and enterprising reporter took a film crew inside an immigrant child care facility in Broward county Florida. When she made her report after the visit she was furious with the Left’s outright lies about how ICE is mistreating immigrant children. She went into great detail about how well equipped and staffed the facility was. She even compared it to schools in minority areas, including the schools she went to when she was growing up and in college. At this point she became so angry that she actually began to use expletives to describe the Left’s lies about how bad the ICE facilities are! She angrily said that every child in America deserved to have their schools and home be as good as this ICE facility! I am sure the MSM will bury this report.

And then we had the Buzzfeed article claiming that President Trump told Cohen to lie when he testified under oath about Trump’s alleged plans to build a hotel in Russia and his alleged Russia connections. As soon as this hit the internet the Left went completely off the rails in their excitement about finally having a way to impeach and maybe even jail Trump. Even after the Mueller team made a public statement that this was NOT TRUE, the Left refused to “let it go”. While this was happening a number of Conservatives pointed out this was a perfect example of how unreasonable and irrational the Left’s hatred is for Trump. Several of these people noted that the Left’s hatred for Trump was so bad that they always rush to believe anything bad about Trump, and then refuse to acknowledge any corrections of that information proving it to be false.

I firmly believe that this is what the Left plans to do all day every day until the Trump presidency is destroyed, or until November 6, 2020. As I have written in the past, the Left sees the Trump presidency as a death sentence to their power and their dream to “fundamentally change America”. However, I see so much GOOD happening in America now and President Trump being so strong and determined to fulfill his promises to his supporters that we will win this battle for America.

Buckle Your Seat Belts! The Left is Going to Make Every Day from Now Until the November 6, 2020 Election a Very Rough Ride!

In his book “SPYGATE” Dan Bongino said that there are two different reasons the Left wants the Trump presidency destroyed. These two reasons are:

  • The Democrats because, “they do not want Barack Obama’s policies reversed, and they don’t wish Trumps victory to be a repudiation of his presidency. They want Obama’s legacy preserved unblemished”. 
  • The Never Trump (RINO) Republicans because, “they want the power he took by becoming the unlikely president “of the people” returned to the safe keeping of the establishment class”.

I believe that Bongino’s analysis was correct initially, but it has gone way past that now!

Every day it becomes more obvious that the left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and MSM) have become so desperate to destroy the Trump presidency they do not have any limits on what they will say or do. They are not satisfied with the possibility of beating him in the November 2020 election. They will never admit it, but if his presidency does survive until November 2020, they will not be able to beat him in that election. If the Left does not succeed in their frantic efforts to destroy his presidency before the November 2020 election President Trump will be re-elected, and the Left will not win a national election for many years to come! The Left will never admit this, but they know it!

The Left is so consumed with destroying the Trump presidency that it is the only thing they are focusing on, and any pretense of them exhibiting any morality, ethics or integrity in their actions no longer exist. They are also very organized and inflexible in all their efforts to achieve this goal. Here are a few recent examples:

  • They suddenly got a new talking point to denigrate the President’s demands for a wall on parts of our southern border. They are all now referring to the wall as nothing but a Trump “vanity project”.
  • They still angrily insist that the U.S. simply cannot afford to waste money on a wall. This is a ridiculous statement coming from the Left when it has a history of wasting money. Like the trillions of dollars the illegal immigrants have cost American taxpayers already and are continuing to cost us because of the lack of proper border security.
  • They still insist that the Obama Administration did not ever do anything wrong. A glaring example of this was Maria Bartiromo’s interview with a Connecticut congressman on her Sunday morning show on 1/13/2019. She asked the congressman about the Obama administration illegally obtaining FISA warrants during the 2016 presidential campaign, using those FISA warrants to illegally surveil American citizens, and then illegally unmasking a lot of those American citizens. The congressman, with a straight face, denied the warrants were illegally obtained. When Maria called him out on that blatant lie he tried to change the subject with his answer. But Maria refused to let him off the hook. She confronted him with specific details about how the DOJ and FBI misled the FISA court judges to get the warrants, and then used the FISA warrants illegally over and over again. I got so disgusted by the congressman’s behavior that I turned the TV off! This was not an isolated incident of the Left blatantly lying about the Obama administration’s illegal activities as it worked to elect Hillary.
  • The number of Democrats who are planning to run for president in the 2020 elections is literally beyond comprehension. When the number of candidates began to grow so rapidly I wondered why the party leadership, that is so inflexible and focused on its efforts to destroy the Trump presidency, was allowing this to happen? And then it occurred to me that this is by design!  With 30, 40, 50 or more prominent Democrats campaigning in the Democratic presidential primary they will overwhelm all the media in America. Especially with the MSM’s open hatred for President Trump and his supporters. As I thought about this it occurred to me that this is a brilliant anti-Trump strategy. With this many people campaigning on the national stage they will dramatically reduce President Trump’s visibility in the media. They will also overwhelm the national media with constant attacks on the Trump administration. It does not matter to the Democrats which one of their candidates wins the primary as long as they all focus on attacking Trump and do not attack each other. This strategy also has the added benefit of showcasing to the general public how deep the Democratic party’s pool of powerful and well qualified people is (powerful and well qualified by their hard-Left standards). And the candidates have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Even when all but one loses the primary they all will walk away with overflowing campaign war chests. This is money that they can spend just about any way they want to in the future, and they will have a huge boost in name recognition on the national level. Only time will tell if the party leadership can keep them all focused on attacking Trump and not each other?
  • And then you have the never-ending Trump Russia investigation! While this alleged collusion was happening, with no proof of criminal behavior what so ever uncovered so far, the Obama administration was openly meddling in elections in other countries on a regular basis! And they were doing this with U.S. taxpayer money and U.S. taxpayer funded staff! This was being done through a little-known U.S. government agency that is part of our State Department, “USAID” (United States Agency International Development). From 2012 to 2016 this agency gave Soros’ Open Society Foundation almost five million dollars to fund its operations in Macedonia named “Open Society Foundation – Macedonia”. This is just one glaring example of the Obama administration’s constant meddling in other countries’ politics, using U.S. tax payer dollars!

It is obvious that the Left’s singular objective from now until the November 2020 elections is to drown out any and all GOOD news from the Trump administration and replace it with their propaganda. I think the Left is totally underestimating President Trump and all his middle America supporters!

Why Does the Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and MSM) No Longer Feel the Need to Hide Its Anti-American Agenda?

I repeatedly asked myself this question over the last few months as I watched the Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and MSM) publicly and loudly display their anti-American agenda. Every time I log into the internet or turn on the TV I see or hear someone on the Left ranting about how bad things are in America and insisting that their way is the only way to fix everything that is wrong in America. (Definition of rant: speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way). As the volume and intensity of the rants increased over the last few months I increasingly asked myself several questions:

  • Does the Left really believe what they are saying is true?
  • Does the Left really believe that the majority of the people in America are so uninformed, naive or self-centered that they believe that the Left’s rants are true?
  • And even more importantly, what is happening in America now that is so bad? As I look past the rants and the fake news I see more good things happening in America, and the world than I have seen for many years!

Here are a few examples of the most recent rants:

  • After being sworn in on her first day in Washington new Congress woman Rashida Tlaib spoke at a rally organized by moveon,org. While speaking she repeated a conversation she had with her young son after winning her congressional race in November. She said that she told her son that she was going to Washington to “impeach the mother f…..”! This was a conversation she had with her young son and she repeated it while speaking into a microphone at a public rally in front of cameras. And the crowd roared in approval! After publicly refusing to apologize she posted a picture of herself on social media with the Palestine flag!
  • Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, the 29 year old new Congress woman from NY has been in front of ever TV camera and microphone that she can find ranting about her plans to dramatically raise taxes in America to help pay for her totally socialist agenda. Her agenda includes free health care and college tuition for everyone. She also wants to eliminate the use of fossil fuels in America. She has become so popular with the Left that the MSM has given her a special pet name, “AOC”.
  • When he was sworn in to his 3rd term as NY Governor, Andrew Coumo gave an impassioned speech about everything his administration plans to do in his new term in office. In the speech he took a direct shot at President Trump and his supporters when he said, “we are going to build infrastructure not walls” and that everyone was “welcome in America”
  • Tom Steyer, a Silicon Valley billionaire is continuing his 100-million-dollar TV advertising campaign demanding that President Trump be removed from office now, not voted out in 2020. He just announced that he is going on a fact-finding trip to Iowa indicating that he is considering running for president in 2020. At last count that brings the official number of people who are “considering running as a Democrat in 2020 to somewhere around 40, and they all have one thing in common. That is an obsessive hatred for President Trump and his supporters.
  • On his first official day back in Washington Al Green from Texas co-authored a new bill to impeach President Trump.
  • Congressman Nadler from NY, the new chairperson of the House Judiciary committee, held a press conference before Presidents Trump’s oval office address. During the press conference he ranted about Trump being such a liar that there should be a banner running across the screen while Trump was speaking warning everyone who watched that everything Trump was saying was a lie. He joined the MSM’s demand that President Trump’s planned speech be released prior to it being broadcast so it could be “vetted by the media prior to it being broadcast”.
  • The Left demanded that they be given equal time immediately after the oval office address so they could rebut Trump’s lies. The MSM quickly agreed and scheduled time for Pelosi and Schumer to speak live. In the speech they demanded that President Trump agree to reopen the government now without anything in the budget for border security, ”then we can talk about border security”. This is the new Democratic talking point intended to take the focus off their role in the shutdown.
  • NY mayor De Blasio held a press conference where he announced his plans to offer free Medicare for anyone in New York city that needed it.
  • When he was sworn in as the next governor of California Gavin Newsom announced that California was going to, “offer sanctuary for everyone”. He has been involved in politics in California his entire adult life. He is also Nancy Pelosi’s nephew. 
  • It is interesting to note that many of the people on the Left who are the most outspoken against any form of a physical “barrier” at the border live in private gated communities or condos with armed security controlling access to the property. A perfect example of this is Maxine Waters who lives in a multi-million dollar home in a private gated community that is not in her district. With the unemployment rate in her district at 22% it seems to me that is what she should be focusing on rather than open borders?

As noted above this is just a small sample of the Left’s recent rants about “everything Trump”. While all this is happening I have not seen or heard a single person on the Left acknowledge that there is anything good happening in America? The GOOD list is also very long, but just two things at the top of the list are all we need to see to prove that President Trump’s actions and policies are “Making America Great Again”. The two things are:

  • The Labor Participation Rate in America now is the best it has been for decades.
  • Annual income in America is up 3.2%, which is higher than our current inflation rate.

These two things together are undeniable proof that a larger percentage of our population is working in America now than has been for decades, and they are making more money.

In addition to these two key economic indicators, there is something else that proves President Trump’s policies and actions are “Making America Great Again”. America is now the world’s largest oil and gas producer! And what really makes this special is that while accomplishing this America met the goals set for it in the Paris Climate Accord! 

While all these good things are happening in America the Trump Administration also got new (much more favorable trade agreements) with Mexico and Canada.  And China is at the trade agreement negotiating table NOW, and all indications are that is going in our favor too! The new trade agreement with China will be part of the new trade agreements we will have in place of the disastrous planned TPP agreement that the Obama Administration had negotiated with that part of the world. Note: Regarding the Obama proposed TPP agreement I used the word “negotiating” very loosely.

As I sit here and look at the two extremely different world views I have described it is obvious to me that the Left has dramatically increased its “everything anti-Trump” rants. The more President Trump accomplishes, the more frantic the Left becomes in its efforts to destroy his Presidency! This is happening because the Left knows that every campaign promise that President Trump fulfills reduces their “POWER” and consequently reduces their ability to destroy our Constitution and make America be part of their dream of a “One World Order”.

This week I read Laura Ingraham’s book, “Billionaire at the Barricades” subtitled, “The Populist Revolution From Reagan to Trump”. It is a long and fascinating book that details the history of the Republican party and American politics from Reagan to Trump. She is an excellent writer, commentator and has a remarkable resume. In one of the last chapters there is one sentence that “jumped off my iPad” as I read it. It was, “The Left hates Trump and Republicans”. I am sure that in this case she was referring to real Republicans, not RINO Republicans. She is so right! I firmly believe that we are at a point in America where the Left has decided that the Trump Presidency cannot be allowed to survive! But, as I wrote last week, I am confident that President Trump will out work and out last all of his attackers and “Make America Great Again”!

Why Does the Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans, and MSM) Hate America so Badly?

As I watched and listened to the Left during the holidays, I was constantly reminded of how much open hatred the Left has for President Trump and America. As President Trump approaches his second year anniversary in office the hatred toward him is so bad that the haters no longer appear to be rational. It is obvious that the haters have reached a point where they will say and do anything to hurt America in their efforts to destroy the Trump presidency. The only thing that appears to matter to these people is POWER, and they see President Trump as a threat to their agenda and therefore their personal power. Based on what we are seeing and hearing from the Left now, it is going to be a nasty 23 month run up to the next elections!  Here are a few examples:

  • New York city’s incoming Attorney General has threatened President Trump and his family members with legal warfare. She made a public announcement that she will, “use every area of the law to investigate the president and his family”. She publicly declared that she would use her new elected office to destroy the Trump presidency and his family!
  • Elijah Cummings, who will now be the chairperson of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has already sent 51 separate letters to the White House demanding documents and information on a wide range of White House policies and actions.
  • Maxine Waters, who will now be the Chairperson of the House Banking and Finance Committee, is still screaming “Impeach, Impeach, Impeach”. She has publicly promised that as soon as she officially becomes the chairperson she will use her power to, “crack down on America’s banks” (whatever that means?). If you have ever watched her behavior during a congressional hearing you would swear that she is functionally illiterate and unstable. Years ago I watched segments of a committee hearing, before our banking system did crash, where banking regulators were testifying about the possibility of a banking system crisis based on the Federal Government’s enforcement of bank lending policies at the time. Maxine literally jumped up out of her chair and screamed at the regulator that was testifying. She screamed that, “we will nationalize this thing” (whatever that meant?).  She was so irrational that the other Representatives sitting around her could not resist laughing at her. When our banking system did crash she illegally funneled government bank bailout money to a California bank that she and her husband owned stock in, and he was on the Board of Directors. She does not even live in her district. She lives in a private gated community that is not in her district!
  • As of January 3,2019 every U.S. House of Representative’s committee chairperson will be a Democrat, like Cummings and Waters. That means they will have a majority vote on their committees and will totally control what the committees do or do not do. And every one of them has declared that they will use the committees to destroy the Trump presidency.
  • The border patrol just issued a report that between December 22nd – 31st,  2018 they took 451 people into custody on our southern border that required immediate medical attention. 19 required hospitalization. 259 were children. Their illnesses included various forms of the flu, and phenomena. During this ten day period there has been a constant stream of people on the Left, including RINO Republicans making public statements against President Trump’s demands for a wall on portions of our southern border. They are publicly using words like “immoral, archaic, medieval, too costly, and ineffective” to describe it? They are even declaring the “majority of Americans do not want a wall built on our southern border”. They are all claiming this last statement was based on “recent surveys”. However everyone that I have spoken too since I started hearing the Left make this declaration thinks it is a deliberate fabrication. “Irrational” is the only word I can think of to describe what they are saying, and they are insulting everyone in middle America by expecting us to believe this! The Left is obviously reading published Democratic leadership talking points.
  • Incoming RINO Republican Senator Mitt Romney recently published a nasty op-ed in the Washington Post about the Trump Presidency and President Trump personally. In the op-ed Romney said things like “Trump’s shortfall set a poor example for America’s public character, while alienating U.S. allies”. Romney has even let it be made public that he is considering running against President Trump on the Republican ticket in 2020. Challenging a sitting President in your own party in a presidential election is unheard of! To say that I am disappointed in a man I once admired and supported is an understatement!
  • Another really disappointing RINO is John Kasich from Ohio. He is another person that I admired and supported in the past. He was elected to congress, worked on wall street, got elected as governor of Ohio, and re-elected in a predominantly Democratic state. And then along came Donald Trump. Kasich led the charge from the other Republican candidates demanding that Trump publicly take the oath to support the winner of the Republican presidential primary, no matter who it was. When Trump won the primary Kasich was the first person to publicly denounce his pledge and even tried to mount a 3rd party campaign to run against Trump. This would have guaranteed a Hillary victory. Kasich is also saying publicly that he is considering running against Trump in the 2020 Republican presidential primary!
  • Another RINO who is making a complete fool of himself publicly is Jeff Flake from Arizona. He is “retiring” from the senate (he would have lost his re-election bid badly due to his anti-Trump actions during the 2016 campaign). He spent his last days in the senate openly saying and doing everything he could to hurt the Trump agenda, including helping block Trump appointees to federal judgeships and the Trump administration. Yes, after two years in office President Trump still has unfilled positions in his administration and federal courts. But, with the help of RINO’s, led by McCain, the senate literally rushed to approve Obama’s appointees as quickly as possible. McCain even made a public statement to the MSM that, “President Obama deserved to have who he wanted in his administration”. Note, this is why there are so many Obama supporters still working in federal government positions and doing everything they can to disrupt the Trump agenda! RINO Flake has also stated publicly that he is, “considering running against President Trump in the 2020 Republican presidential primary”.

It appears that the original Trump disease, “Trump Derangement Syndrome” has morphed into an irrational open hatred for everything Trump. This does not bode well for America or the world. But I still think that President Trump will out work and out last all the haters, and 2019 will be another good year to be an American!

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”?

It is Great to be an American, Except for the Left!

It is a Great Time to be an American, Except for the Left!

Every where I go I still see many great things happening in America. Shopping, new construction, people saying Merry Christmas. Yet everyone on the Left (Democrats, the MSM and RINO Republicans) are getting angrier and more irrational by the day? Every time I hear something from the Left I am reminded of the saying, “are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?”. Here are some examples of how angry and irrational the Left is and the obvious double standard of justice we have in the Washington Cesspool:

  • Mika Brzezinski, the co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe program referred to Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo as “Trump’s b… boy” on the air! She did apologize for the disgusting crude remark on the air the next day, but I suspect it was not by choice. Her remark was so crude that it fell below the MSM’s usual anti-Trump hatred. Imagine if someone on FOX made a remark like that!
  • Chris Matthews, another MSNBC host angrily said on air that “Trump will resign in the next few weeks”.
  • Mueller has now spent over $30 million on the alleged Russia collusion special council investigation and is still going forward. This is in spite of the fact that there has not been a single shred of evidence discovered that proves there was any Russia campaign collusion, except by the Democrats. This is clearly “an investigation in search of a crime”, which is blatantly illegal and un-Constitutional.
  • The Steele Dossier, which is the basis for the Mueller special council investigation, was initiated by the Clinton campaign and paid for by the Clinton campaign, the DNC and OUR FBI!
  • Every aspect of the Steele Dossier has been totally debunked by a wide variety of credible people. For example, the dossier claims that Trump’s former lawyer, Cohen went to Russia to arrange the collusion. There is absolutely no evidence that Cohen went to Russia.
  • The Steele Dossier was used to launch the Trump Russia collusion special council investigation while Comey was Director of the FBI. It was also used to get illegal FISA warrants to spy on Americans by the Obama Administration.
  • The FBI used search warrants to stage predawn raids on various Trump campaign staff where they seized documents and took people away in handcuffs. But not a single Democrat has been subjected to this level of “investigation”. Just compare it to Hillary’s “e-mailgate non-investigation”!
  • After each of Jim Comey’s recent two days of testimony before a congressional committee he held an impromptu press conference. What he said at these press conferences and his demeanor reminded me of a petulant spoiled brat who did not get what he wanted. According to the transcripts of his testimony, and according to people in the hearing, he repeatedly lied under oath. No one has even mentioned that he would be charged with these crimes. Cohen and Flynn have both been charged with the same crimes and forced to plead guilty!
  • After his second day of testimony Comey’s behavior and comments were even more petulant than they were at his previous press conference. He loudly complained that he was repeatedly asked to explain his handling of the Clinton e-mail investigation versus his desire to talk about the Russia campaign collusion. Note: in recent days new evidence has been made public about how deeply he was involved in “fixing” the Clinton investigation. According to the new evidence he was involved in the “cover up” to the point of breaking a number of laws and illegally colluding with the Clinton campaign to assure that she won the election. In fact he was an integral part of the top FBI staff that developed the “insurance policy” that was intended to assure that Trump did not win the election.
  • John Pedosta, Clinton’s campaign chair and his brother Anthony had an international consulting firm that took in millions of dollars, without being in compliance with all the federal regulations required to represent foreign entities. The company was immediately shut down when Clinton lost the election. This was obviously part of the vast Clinton “pay to play” network. But, so far, the MSM and FBI have failed to acknowledge any of this. Cohen and Flynn were both charged with violating the same laws that the Podesta brothers violated and then they were forced to plead guilty.
  • The MSM posted the results of a “national poll” that said that “now the majority of Americans believe that America is in worse shape economically than it was during the Obama Administration”. Every measure of our current economy indicates that this is not based on any facts.

Based on everything I see and hear (other than from the Left) I still believe that it is a great time to be an American! President Trump, his staff and supporters will prevail!

Merry Christmas!

There is so Much Good Happening in America, and the Left Hates it!

As I have written in the past, everywhere I go I see GOOD things happening. Large commercial developments, new homes being built, people shopping and Help Wanted signs.

An unemployment rate of 3.7% confirms that GOOD things are happening all over America. Many economists consider a 5% unemployment rate as being an economy that is at full employment. When I questioned this 5% theory in an economics class in college the professor explained that there will always be some people who are unemployed for a variety of reasons. As we discussed this further it then made sense to me.

When you consider that we have a 3.7% unemployment rate with a Labor Participation Rate at one of the highest points in history this is even more remarkable. Labor Force Participation Rate definition: the percentage of the population that is of working age (16) and are also members of the work force. If you look at unemployment rate charts for the last ten years you will see that they indicate that the rate went up quickly during Obama’s first years in office (he blamed it on Bush 43). During this time the Democrats also had a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. And then the unemployment rate began to fall every month. One month when there were only 13,000 new jobs reported the Obama Administration declared that the unemployment rate dropped a tenth of a point to 4.7 percent. This is statistically impossible! When I saw this, I did some research and discovered that the Obama Administration was “manipulating” the number of people that they counted as being part of the workforce! They significantly reduced the number of weeks that anyone who became unemployed was eligible for unemployment benefits, and then stopped counting them as being part of the workforce when they were not drawing unemployment benefit checks.

While his administration was manipulating the numbers, Obama was giving speeches where he said things like, “those jobs are never coming back”, “we cannot drill our way out of high gas prices” and “we cannot drill our way to energy independence”. Every time I saw this in the news I wondered why he was giving speeches that directly contradicted the manipulated unemployment rate numbers his administration was publishing? Each time I thought about this the only conclusion I could come to was that the Left does not care about anything but their own agenda, and they believe that the rest of us are too stupid or uninformed to know any better!

The Trump Administration is not manipulating the numbers. The Labor Force Participation Rate and the unemployment rate prove that many GOOD things are happening in America.

The Left (Democrats, MSM and RINO Republicans) hate President Trump so badly that they will say and do anything to hurt America just to prevent him from “getting a WIN” on anything. They believe that if he gets a “WIN on anything” it will be a major loss for them and their agenda. The current “continuing” Federal budget crisis is a perfect example of the Left’s hatred for every Conservative’s idea to better America. Now this all centers around President Trump’s border wall demands. In the past many of the Left’s prominent members including, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer and Hillary gave public speeches about the need for a secure border, including a wall. In the past many of them, including Schumer supported budget amendments with funding for a wall. Now that we have an undeniable illegal immigrant crisis at our southern border the Left is angrily declaring we do not have a crisis at our southern border, and even saying things like “a wall is immoral”. This ridiculous “RESIST everything Trump at any cost” mindset came to a head in the oval office this week, 12/11/ 2018 in front of the entire White House Press Corp. and their TV cameras! Pelosi and Schumer got so visibly upset because they were not getting the response from President Trump they wanted, they demanded that the press be ordered out the room. President Trump refused and reminded them that he was “being completely transparent with the American people”. I have seen many things in my long and full life, but this was truly epic! I love seeing the Left saying and doing things like this in front of the nation’s TV cameras! 

Many GOOD things are happening in America and the Left (Democrats, MSM and RINO Republicans) really hate it!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

There is So Much Good Happening in America! It is Going to be a Great Christmas Season!

As I have written recently, everywhere I go around the state I see major construction projects happening. Yesterday I took a friend that lives south of Atlanta for a medical procedure that required sedation. As I drove south on state highway 42 out of McDonough, Ga. I was amazed at how much major construction I saw. One large area being cleared had a sign posted next to the highway announcing that the development was going to be over one million square feet of available commercial space (it is speculative!). Across the road from that development another huge building was being built that appeared to be one of the largest commercial warehouse and distribution centers I have ever seen. It was so long that I could not count the loading dock doors on the side facing the road. In addition to these two large commercial developments there were several other properties being developed in that area and one of the largest grading and clearing contractors in the southeastern U.S. was clearing another huge tract of land. There was also a new four lane road being paved into another large tract of uncleared land. Several of the larger developments had set up cement manufacturing plants on the property and had a fleet of cement trucks and a fleet of tandem axle dump trucks hauling the raw materials to the cement plant (only a really big project could justify that expense!). As I looked at all this commercial development, I asked myself where are all these companies going to find employees to fill all these jobs? With the U.S. already being above what most economist consider to be “full employment”, with one of the highest “labor participation rates” in America’s history, this is going to be an issue, but what a great problem for America to be dealing with!

On the way back home, I got off I-75 at Griffin, Ga. and came back through Newnan, Ga. Along the way I noticed a lot of new construction, including new custom-built homes on large tracts of land. Just south of Newnan a large tract of land that was a farm in the past was being cleared. A sign posted next to the highway indicated the area being developed was 213 acres. The highway through that area was being widened to become a four lane and a new street going into the development was being constructed complete with new commercial specification curbs and street gutters being poured.

This morning I went back to my local Home Depot to return some materials that I did not actually need on a project I am working on for a friend. At 10:00 A.M. on a really cold Thursday morning the parking lot was almost full again, with most of the vehicles being some sort of commercial vehicle, all loaded or being loaded with construction or landscape materials. As I was loading the materials off my trailer and onto a lumber cart a kind gentleman walking by stopped and asked if I needed any help! What a great Christmas season we are having!

I have been seeing positive things like this everywhere I went for many months now. This is why almost every federal and state agency, that reports honestly, is reporting that consumer confidence in America is at an all-time high as we approach the 2nd anniversary of President Trump being sworn in as the 45th President of America!

However, if you listen to the “Left” (Democrats, MSM and RINO Republicans) Trump is rapidly destroying America, at home and abroad. These people are so desperate to destroy the Trump presidency (and save their own power) that nothing is too low for them to say or do. As I watch and listen to them, I actually think that some of what they are saying and doing to hurt America should qualify as TREASON! They literally refuse to believe that Trump is still our President and are becoming more “unhinged” by the day as we approach the beginning of President Trump’s 3rd year in office. Some of the RINOs have even announced that they are considering running against President Trump in the 2020 Republican primary!

We cannot let the “haters” win! We must stay positive and focus on all the good things that are happening in America!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

 

Merry Christmas! I refuse to let the America haters win this holiday season!

After I published my article last week, I needed to go to my local Home Depot to purchase some building supplies for a project I am working on for a friend. I pulled into the parking lot at about 10:45 A.M. on “Black Friday”. I am 71 years old and have never seen a Home Depot parking lot this full! I was driving my older heavy-duty Chevy Silverado hunting and work project truck and pulling a 5’ x 8’ utility trailer. With the trailer attached I had trouble finding a parking space! As I looked for a parking space, I noticed men, women and families loading shopping and lumber carts full of all sorts of merchandise including large stuffed animals, Christmas decorations, tools, and even live decorative poinsettia plants into a wide variety of vehicles. And yes, there were also people like me buying building materials, including those in line at the licensed contractor checkout loading area.

When I did find a place to park and got inside it was literally standing room only in some parts of the store. And, like the overflowing parking lot, I have never seen so many orange aprons (Home Depot employees). It was obvious that Home Depot had gone on a well thought out “hiring and training spree”. I had to wait in a queue for an employee to find me a lumber cart and help me load the materials I needed on it. Yet everyone I interacted with in this practically overwhelming retail environment was cheerful and professional. The young lady that checked me out even said “Merry Christmas” to me with a bright smile when she handed me my receipt and credit card back. The young man that helped me fill my order waited for me to check out and then pushed the lumber cart out to the parking lot, helped me load my truck and trailer and then said, “Merry Christmas Sir”. Note: this is a free-standing Home Depot building supply, appliance and garden center store in western Georgia! It is not in a retail mall!

As I wrote earlier, I had just published my weekly article where I listed a lot of very positive things I see happening in America, and how I had made a conscious decision to not let the America hating Left (Democrats, MSM, and RINO Republicans) succeed in making me be in a negative mood this Holiday season! There is too much GOOD happening in America now to allow the Left to suppress my optimism! This positive experience reaffirmed to me that I had made the right decision to focus on everything GOOD that is happening in America. And then over the  weekend, and into the first part of this week, every time I turned on the TV or logged into the internet, it became obvious that I was going to need positive experiences like this if I was going to be able to stay on track with having a positive holiday season and trying to share it with everyone I came in contact with.

It is increasingly obvious to me that the better things get in America the ANGRIER the “America haters” become!  In some instances, “ANGRY” is not a strong enough word to describe the Left’s behavior. It would also be inaccurate to try and use the words REASON or TRUTH when trying to communicate with the Left or understand how they can be so dishonest in their effort to distort the facts about what is really happening in America! Here are two recent examples of how dishonest and disgusting the Left is now:

  • Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith was in a Mississippi runoff for her Senate seat against Mike Espy, a former member of the Clinton Administration. Another Republican candidate got enough votes in the primary election to force the top two vote finishers in the primary to compete in a runoff (Mississippi has a “jungle” primary system where all candidates can run). When complimenting the host of a fund raiser that she was attending during her campaign Hyde-Smith said. “I think so much of him that if he asked me to attend a public hanging I would sit in the front row”. THE RACE CARD IMMEDIATELY CAME OUT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY! She was immediately accused of being racist and deliberately misquoted to support their ridiculous claim. The Left has constantly claimed that she used the word “lynching” instead of the phrase “public hanging”. Public hangings were legal capital punishment, lynchings were murder. She did use a poor choice of words, but this does not make her a racist. Unfortunately, deliberately misquoting someone for political gain is “standard operating procedure” for the Left. Update: Senator Hyde-Smith won the runoff by a comfortable margin.
  • When a large band of illegals tried to cross the border into California the Border Patrol agents working that section of the border were outnumbered “hundreds to one”. When the Border Patrol stood their ground and enforced the border the illegals became violent and began to attack the agents with projectiles like rocks, pieces of concrete, and even pieces of the border fence, while yelling obscenities at them. Several of the agents were injured and several of the Border Patrol vehicles were damaged by the projectiles. The illegals became so violent that the agents had to use pepper spray to try to stop the attack and then had to use tear gas to keep them from breaching the border. The Left’s immediate response was to loudly compare the Border Patrol to the Nazi massacre of the Jews and accusing them of “using chemicals of war against people who only wanted a better life for themselves, including women and children”. The last accusation came from a sitting U.S. Congressman. The Border Patrol supervisor responsible for that area of the border said that NOT ONE OF THE ILLEGALS APPROACHED THE BORDER AND ASKED FOR ASYLUM? The supervisor also said the group that tried to violently cross the border was almost totally male. A FOX NEWS crew that was at the border interviewed several of the illegals involved in the attempt to cross the border. They reported that no one that they talked to said they wanted asylum in the U.S. They all said that they just wanted to come to America to work for a few years. The FOX crew also confirmed that the group at this attempted border crossing was almost totally male.

 

Beginning Sunday evening and on into the week the Left (the Democrats, the MSM, and the RINO Republicans) literally filled the airwaves and the internet with nasty comments like the examples above. As I see all the good things that are happening in America now, I find myself wondering how there could be so much hatred like this for America? But I now accept the fact that the Left will stop at nothing to “fundamentally change America”. We cannot let that happen!

Note: From this point forward, I am going to say “Merry Christmas” to people I interact with, not the P.C. “Happy Holidays”!
