RIGHT OUT OF THE COMIC BOOKS – Here It Comes!!!


BLOG POST 6 - Replaced

I’ve had a lot of people laugh at me and attempt to ridicule me over my warnings about Agenda 21 and the Sustainable Development Initiative of the United Nations, the globalist, and the federal government.  Laugh if you please, but there is something coming down the pike that causes the hair on the back of my neck to stand up and gives me incredible pause and concern.  Its roots are deeply entrenched in the ideology and philosophy of Agenda 21 and fits squarely in the desire of the Big Government proponents to CONTROL, CONTROL, CONTROL every aspect of our lives.

You may think I am overreacting and deem me a conspiracy theorist to be ignored.  If so, that is your right, but before you totally dismiss my warnings I would urge you to both read what I am writing and do some investigation of your own.  I believe you will also find things that cause you to be concerned.  The item that I am going to bring up, on its face seems benign and many would deem it wonderful and possible a safety experiment long overdue.  I can see some elements that would lend to that but far more that make me leery of this futuristic plan and technological unveiling.

What am I talking about?  Autonomous or Driverless Automobiles.  Before you laugh and dismiss me let me offer some thoughts from my pondering on the matter and investigation.  On the surface, a driverless vehicle seems quite benign and even a pleasant thought but what about the potential problems and issues with government intervention?  Yes, there are both to be concerned about.

It is being proposed and pushed by the federal government, automakers and other entities to have “autonomous” or “driverless” automobiles on the road in large numbers by 2020-2024.  That’s not that far down the road.  No, they won’t be flying cars but will occupy the space that you and I now occupy on the highways and byways of America’s roads and streets.  There are several levels of “autonomous” vehicles proposed from limited driver involvement to complete autonomy of the technology of the vehicle.  The latter is where the government wants this to go and if that happens that is when the government regulations and intervention will take place that will be off the charts.  The government would or could control where and when you could occupy the roadways.  It would also require permission to take a trip and determine what speed you traveled.  That would make off-road travels for those who hunt and fish a virtual impossibility, but then the Leftist and Activist don’t want you hunting or fishing, so in their minds, no problem.

Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development seeks to press people into smaller spaces and force everyone to live in apartment type high rises where they can live, work, socialize, and shop in limited environs.  This is more of the government’s desire to CONTROL, CONTROL, CONTROL our lives.  Back in 2013, the federal government released some regulations for “driverless cars” and estimated they were looking at a 10-15-year window before they became a reality.  The argument was that far too many “senior citizens” and people with “disabilities” were on the road and insisted that this would solve that problem.  Would or will it?  That remains to be seen but that is not my concern in this issue it is GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

But there is another issue that nobody seems to want to talk about.  If this is software technology that drives the vehicle it is hackable and that poses an additional danger.  What happens if a terrorist takes over vehicles and uses the driverless automobile as a weapon of mass destruction?  You would have no terrorist on the scene and a several-thousand-pound weapon bearing down on victims.  But, what about someone with a grudge against anyone including those in elected positions, hacking into and taking over the vehicle.  That vehicle could be driven over a cliff, into oncoming traffic or simply shut down in the middle of the freeway causing accidents and havoc.  You may make light of that but consider this possibility as well.  If the government has a system that regulates where and when you can travel and someone hacks into that vehicle (even governmental agencies) and takes you somewhere that is morally, socially, economically, or politically embarrassing how would you defend yourself and insist you did not initiate the trip?

I see this as one more step down the path of stripping us of our Freedoms and Liberties and a precursor to deeming the elderly and disabled as being an unnecessary burden.  Am I overreacting?  Possibly but I do not trust the government for they have proven to be untrustworthy.  Have you ever used technology and found that a glitch caused it to do something totally other than what you desired?  How comfortable are you in trusting government controlled software to propel you down a busy freeway at 70 MPH?  This was a technology that former President Barack Obama endorsed and if the Leftist endorse something red flags immediately go up for me and I begin to examine the possible dangers.  We’ve already seen fatal crashes with the Telsa automobile and imagine 18-wheelers barreling down the highway with no driver.  I am also concerned that too often when the federal government is involved they leap before they look.

It is partially that I don’t want to give up my independence and choose where, when, and how I travel but it is more.  I also don’t trust the federal government to build a better mousetrap or regulate the building of one.  Everything (virtually) that the federal government regulates and controls come at a higher cost and with less efficiency.  How much control do we truly want to give the federal government in the name of safety or efficiency?  Some have argued that those of us who are “seasoned citizens” are less safe than younger drivers should be around some of the newly licensed products of the past few years.  Those of us who learned to drive when the rules of the road meant something is usually far safer than many of those who think that turning on the turn signal makes them invincible.  I deal with ineptitude behind the wheel daily in the DFW area and wonder how some people make it from Point A to Point B without an accident.  Those people would be a far stronger argument for driverless cars than the arguments now being used but even then, trusting the government is difficult for this citizen.

That was my rant and you may be 100% in favor of the “autonomous driverless automobile” and long for its full release.  I hope you are right and it is truly something benign not another step in the Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development Initiative.  I hope you are right!

God bless you and God bless America!

 

AMERICA – EVERY GENERATION IS RESPONSIBLE…


BLOG POST 2 - rESPONSIBILITY

It is the responsibility of every generation to refresh the tree of Liberty!  That is especially true today for those of us who love liberty and the Constitutional Republic known as the United States of America, in contrast to the voices, forces, and ideologies seeking to destroy it.  I am convinced that our founders based the Constitution, our system of government and judicial system on the presumption that those in leadership would work toward preserving the principles of Freedom.  I am not so naïve as to think they did not foresee the potential tyrannical despotism.  I believe they attempted to place safeguards and sound warnings loudly enough that centuries later we would hear them.

Our founders faced some serious problems in the formulation of this new government.  I believe did a remarkable job addressing those issues and attempting to insert adequate safeguards against despotism which would guarantee the survival of the fledgling new nation.  Like most systems of government theory is not always practical and thus we have the problems our nation faces today.  Although some of the Framers wanted to make the office of President a Monarchy the majority recognized the problem of placing too much power in the hands of one individual.  They also wanted a court system that was strong but not one that legislated from the bench, so they sought to develop a system that gave the court strength but not extreme power.

At the time of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 many were predisposed to developing a government that would provide ‘separation of powers’ in which the three branches were ‘co-equal’ in responsibility and power.  This was not a new idea but one that had never successfully been established as it would be in America.  Its roots can be traced to the 4th Century with Aristotle, championed by John Locke, refined and expanded by Baron de Montesquieu.  The writings of those and others influenced many of our founders greatly as did their desire to safeguard against the monarchical system.  They wanted a strong executive held in check by a defined legislature balanced by a judiciary that reviewed matters from a constitutional basis.  That worked splendidly for decades but has become so eroded over the past few decades and especially in the past few years that it would be unrecognizable by the Framers and Founders. 

In our present condition, we are suffering the after-effects of an administration (Obama) that pushed the limits of presidential authority damaging our entire political system.  We are suffering from a Congress that has largely abdicated its responsibility and a court where nine black-robed persons are virtually deciding what is legal and constitutional and what is not.  Instead of having a ‘balance of power’ where three branches are ‘co-equal’ providing checks and balances we have blurred the lines and so distorted our system, men like Thomas Jefferson would be calling for rebellion.  Our founders warned us of the inherent danger of any of the three branches becoming too strong or weak and laid the ultimate responsibility at the feet of WE THE PEOPLE!  If every generation does not ‘refresh the tree of liberty’ we will find that we are truly ‘one generation’ away from losing our liberty.

When the president, attorney general, and other major political figures engage in encouraging disregard for our justice system from a purely racial perspective we invite disruption of the peace, as the Obama administration did.  When people are encouraged, (as did the Obama administration), to disturb the Peace in protest rather than attempting to educate as to the process, the facts and maintain civil decorum it is an invitation to lawlessness.  When a president exercises power outside the constitutional scope of that office, ignores congress and disobeys the courts it is rightly called tyranny.  When Congress abdicates its responsibility to exercise the power of the purse, pass legislation and give oversight to the lawful exercise and observance of those laws we can rightly call them impotent.  When the courts render decisions that can only be understood as rewriting laws we can rightly accuse them of abuse of power.  We have each of those happening to greater or lesser degree in present-day America.  I do not wonder what our founders would say for I believe they demonstrated that in the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence and Constitutional Convention.

The former President, former Attorney General, and some major political figures called for those of a particular ethnicity to create havoc because they perceive a wrong transpired in the elections or other aspects of society.  The flames of hatred and racism have been fanned by those in leadership and have resulted in incredible chaos and division.  If WE THE PEOPLE fail to unitedly make our voices heard, we will see further disruption and destruction.  We must all realize that that declares that while our system is not perfect the constitution must be respected.  I am not calling for watering the tree of liberty with the “blood of patriots” as did Jefferson, but I am calling for watering the tree of liberty with our unified voice demanding a return to Constitutional Republicanism and lawfulness.

America needs, no requires our UNITED VOICE of support for Liberty in contrast to the voices of hate.  America needs leaders who protect and defend the constitution even if it is not what they would prefer.  America needs leaders who will follow the law, working to change any and all bad laws and serve as representatives of the people not purveyors of power and position.

My heart breaks for my America and I plead, God bless America and God bless you!

 

I WANT LIBERTY and in that I HAVE FREEDOM…


BLOG POST 1 - lIBERTY

When I read the writings, and study the events of the founding of this incredible Republic known as the United States of America I am immediately drawn to the importance of LIBERTY to our Founders and the Framers.  We have the Sons of Liberty, the Liberty Tree, the Liberty Bell, and even the Statue of Liberty.  They were enamored with the idea of Liberty and so am I.  The question must be asked, WHY?  Why was Liberty so incredibly important to our forefathers? 

The more I study their activities, works, ideas, and arguments the words of Patrick Henry have even more impact, “Give me Liberty or give me death” was more than a catchy cliche or declaration.  It was at the core of his and their beliefs and convictions.  They could envision no other result than winning Liberty which would give them Freedom but Liberty at all costs was their objective.  They were fighting for more than mere freedoms they were fighting for LIBERTY and to them, that was a God-given right and a possession or prize worth dying for.  I wonder how many today have that same conviction.

Freedom is defined as, “independence, the license to do as one wants, the permission to do as you please.”  That definition is wanting as it applies to a civil society and the workable interchange between men where peace and progress can be the expected outcome.  Freedom, means you have the right to do something based on a clear granting of authority or autonomy, as in self-government.  Permission, on the other hand, reflects the authorization or permission to do something and if it is something given or authorized it can be revoked.

Our Framers and the Founding Fathers had a clear grasp of the difference and to them, LIBERTY is defined in the Declaration of Independence as something that comes from God not man and therefore not something man can revoke.  The words that express their view that ALL MEN are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights including Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness are incredibly illuminating.  This is a window into their hearts and minds and a reason they were willing to risk everything to FIGHT FOR LIBERTY and FREEDOM.  Any given Freedom can be revoked by those granting that Freedom but Liberty, in their view, and mine can only be revoked by the Giver of Life, the Creator of All Things – GOD HIMSELF!

When I hear people talk about Freedom and Democracy I grow concerned as to the understanding of what we have in America and what our Founders fought for.  John Adams said, “Remember, democracy never lasts long.  It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.  There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”  We have a Constitutional Republic with a Representative Democracy not a Majority Rule Democracy as ancient Greece.  John Adams also declared that America is “a government of laws, not of men.”  Much of our law finds its roots and foundation in the Bible and the principles of God’s Word.  I know that some find that offensive, but it is an inescapable truth if we honestly examine history.

In a Democracy, any group that managed a majority regarding any Freedom could vote to rescind that Freedom and mandate that we all follow their prescribed edict.  In our Constitutional Republic, we have rights that are given to all mankind by God Himself and no government, or majority has the right to trample on that Liberty.  If we only have Freedom, given by the government or the majority, those rights within that Freedom are subject to the interpretation of those in power.  In Liberty, the rights are not derived from man’s permission but by God’s decree and He supersedes all Human Authority.  Benjamin Franklin said, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.  Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”

There are those on the Left and among some of the Establishment Republicans who would force us to violate our convictions and give up our Liberty and inalienable rights.  We have the right to Life.  There can be occasion, biblically and legally, where one can commit a crime that abridges that right and their life is the price of their crime.  In the right to Life, the unborn in the womb, who cannot fend for themselves or defend themselves must be protected as are all innocents.  Life means that we have the inalienable right to LIVE according to the convictions of our hearts providing those convictions do not endanger others or trample their rights.  We have the inalienable right to Liberty where we are FREE and have the permission of the Creator to live freely without undue restraint from any human government.  The words of Patrick Henry resonate deeply in my heart and I cry for LIBERTY, not simply FREEDOM.  God made me Free and therefore I am Free Indeed and in that Liberty, there is Freedom and Inner Peace.  I may have material possessions or be destitute, but I still enjoy LIBERTY and am FREE.

The government is charged with the protection of our LIBERTY, but our American government has evolved into an entity that believes LIBERTY, FREEDOM, and RIGHTS come from Government.  Therefore, rather than protecting and defending our Liberty they seek to define what Liberty is and mandate our lifestyles and allegiances.  That is foreign to what our Founders fought for and the Framers of our American Constitution negotiated.  We are Free because God made us Free!  We need to convey to our elected representatives the understanding of the Framers and Founders that among our inalienable rights is LIBERTY and we have that not because of some governmental action, edict, or legislation but because God granted us that right.  We need to convey to them that unless they return to defending and protecting the Constitution and our Inalienable Rights we will help them find other employment.  We must develop the Spirit and Commitment of our Founders and allow the Spirit of 1776 to once again become prevalent in our hearts.  Unless Liberty is something we are willing to fight to the death to preserve and attain, our Freedom will be lost in America. 

I am focused on the mid-term elections in 2018 and the 2020 elections because I realize that our American system of government is hanging in the balance.  Politicians of all stripes are proving to be our antagonist not our allies in the area of Liberty and Freedom.  Join us in the fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom and commit to LIBERTY.

God bless you and God bless America is my desire and prayer!

LEGISLATION WON’T FIX AMERICA…


BLOG POST 1 - Legislate Morality

Some may automatically reject my argument because it is rooted deeply in my Christian Faith.  Others will likely embrace it completely because it resonates with their beliefs.  I make those statements to highlight that each of us has an opinion.  I would argue that some opinions are more deeply rooted in fact, truth, and reality than others BUT each of us has the right to form our own opinions and defend them as best we can.

We have tried for decades to FIX AMERICA via the legislative, judicial, or executive branches passing legislation, making legal rulings, or issuing executive fiats and IT HAS NOT WORKED!  I have long contended that it is IMPOSSIBLE to legislate morality and it is IMPOSSIBLE to legislate racial, ethnic, religious, social, or political harmony.  We are individual human beings and each of us responds differently to attempts to mandate that we act, speak, think, or live in a certain manner.  The political correctness of our day is one of the most divisive and destructive forces existing in America. 

Legislation will not resolve our societal differences and no amount of new laws will prevent the evil, criminal, and deranged from committing acts of violence against other human beings.  You can pass the most stringent “gun laws” ever witnessed and find the effect similar to those of Chicago and other cities with incredibly strict gun laws.  The violence escalates because, as with all laws the people who obey those laws are not the ones perpetrating crimes.  Also, by taking guns out of the hands of the law-abiding you place them in harm’s way with no means of defending themselves.  The idea as presented by one illustrious Senator was that if we passed gun laws banning guns, the criminals would realize that citizens did not have guns and would lay theirs down as well.  HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT IN CHICAGO, SENATOR?  The lunacy of that is akin to making a pedophile the caretaker of a Day Care Center or giving the fox guard duty at the hen house.  IT IS INSANE!  Yet, we have background checks, and due to the failure of various entities and organizations, people fall through the cracks.  NO SYSTEM IS FOOL-PROOF and the sooner we understand that the better off we are.  Criminals, terrorist, the deranged, and diabolical will get guns or other weapons of destruction regardless of the Laws passed by Congress and signed into Law by the President.  Evil is Evil, and legislation will not change the heart.

There are some things that Legislation would help if not fix that have nothing to do with the human heart or the depravity of man.  Congress could offer an amendment to the Constitution that would repeal the Personal Income Tax and eliminate the Internal Revenue Service in its present form.  They could move toward a Flat or Fair Tax and offer a plan that would result in everyone having skin in the game and eliminate the powerful political weapon the IRS has become. That would strip Congress and Power-Hungry Legislators of a tool or weapon to coerce compliance with their agenda in order to survive in the economic world.  Will that happen?  NOT IN OUR LIFETIMES, unless we completely change the culture of Washington, D.C. while those advancing that culture are in power.  That is a hill that I’m not sure we can climb without Divine Intervention.

Congress has passed legislation that would secure our borders but the infighting and political wrangling present today as well as the way the previous administration hamstrung our Border Law Enforcement Agencies and Agents makes our borders as porous as a sieve.  Congress could offer a term-limit amendment preventing the professional career politician from establishing a beachhead in Washington, D.C. and possibly restore the idea of Citizen Representation returning control of government to WE THE PEOPLE.  Will they?  NOT LIKELY because that would upset their playhouse and make them subject to the same laws as the rest of us.  Congress could overhaul the Entitlement and Welfare System and take a biblical approach limiting the persons qualified for assistance and follow the counsel of the Apostle Paul.  Paul said, “Any man that WILL NOT WORK, should not eat.”  The key words are WOULD NOT or WILL NOT rather than COULD NOT.  The Democrats accuse those of us who advocate a limiting of Entitlement and Welfare as heartless and uncaring.  However, I like many of our founding fathers believe as expressed by Benjamin Franklin, “I am for doing good to the poor, but… I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty but leading or driving them out of it.  I observed… that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer.  And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”  What a concept!  If Franklin could see our Entitlement and Welfare System today he would condemn it immediately.

The Democrats want people poor.  Keeping people poor opens a door for them to enslave those voters making them beholding to the Party of Poverty.  Nobody wants to bite the hand that is feeding them or looks the gift horse in the mouth.  You never kill your golden goose.  Our present system of Entitlement and Welfare entraps people in a condition that kills their entrepreneurial spirit and stifles all ingenuity and desire to fight their way out of their economic condition.  It is easier to hate those who have than to labor so you can have.  It is easier to blame another race for your situation than take advantage of any and all open doors no matter how small or remote they might be.  Some have said, “God helps those who help themselves.”  This is not a quote from a biblical passage but was offered by Benjamin Franklin in Poor Richard’s Almanac 1757, but it likely originated from Algernon Sydney in 1698 in an article titled “Discourses Concerning Government.”  God does help the helpless as can be discerned in passages such as Isaiah 25.4, Romans 6:23, Isaiah 64:6, Romans 5:8, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Proverbs 28:26, and Jeremiah 17:5.  God expects us to do what we can and has promised to NEVER leave us nor forsake us.  There are some things we cannot do for ourselves and need divine help, so the idea presented of “doing all we can” and not simply “waiting for a handout” is valid.

America, if we are going to fix what is wrong in this country morally, racially, and socially, legislation is not the answer.  If we are going to address the economy, national security, and national sovereignty there are legislative actions that will help.  I have contended and contend that the problem in the mass shootings, terrorism, and the many other atrocities in our society can only be resolved by a change in the human heart.  THAT is something Legislation cannot fix.  If one hates, legislation will not dissipate their hatred, only a change in the heart and attitude will.  I pray that we, in America, will somehow find a way to realize that skin color or preferences are not a justifiable basis for dividing the nation and causing it to crumble as the Constitutional Republic our Framers and Founders established.

God bless you and God bless America is my prayer and desire!

2018 IN LIGHT OF 2017 – Optimism is Difficult But Possible…


BLOG POST 1 - Back and Forward

As one year has come to a close and another begun, I wish I could declare with jovial optimism things are going to be dramatically better, but I cannot.  I try to limit cynicism and reject pessimism.  I try to embrace optimism and have a positive mental attitude toward life including the world of politics in America.  I try, but no matter how hard I try, there are some glaring realities that act as a wet blanket on some of the desired enthusiasm and the reality of the past and present alter my view of the future.

Before you reject me completely, let me state, I do believe in America and believe we can restore the Republic.  I believe in the possibility but am fully aware of the difficulty and daunting nature of that task, battle, struggle, or war.  Jesus said in Luke 21:36 that there would come a time when “men’s hearts would fail them for fear, and due to the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth…”  He described it as a time when the powers of heaven would be shaken.  We are also told in the Bible that in the Last Days (a term some are very uncomfortable with) we would see a dangerous world and peril so prevalent that things would appear hopeless.  I believe we are seeing that today, in a significant measure.

I heard people argue that Barack Obama was the anti-Christ and now some are saying the same thing about Donald Trump.  I am troubled not by the potential of America and Americans but the social, racial, economic, and political division being orchestrated, expanded, and engineered today.  Sadly, many are unable to see the outside influence and manipulation because they are too close to the forest to see the trees.  I have long argued that we are all descendants of Adam and members of the Human Race regardless of skin pigmentation or ethnicity.  If we could take a deep breath and tap the brakes on the impending race war that is boiling in the societal pot, we could take a major step toward resolving our racial and ethnic differences.  Hatred, that is generational is one of the most difficult to overcome because it has no personal reason for existence but becomes an ancestral heritage and almost viewed as a birthright.

With the decay of our politics into the muck and mire of the mudhole or cesspool any hope of common ground takes wing and soars out of reach.  Ideology and political partisanship take precedence over right and reason and the idea that the “end justifies the means” becomes the acceptable norm in politics and life.  Truth takes a back seat to winning any particular battle swinging wide the door to political bloodletting unseen by any past generation.  In our politically correct world the allegations of sexual misconduct or impropriety of any nature need no proof to be deemed valid, only made public.  The result is the assignation of character and the accuser is judged morally righteous needing to prove nothing whereas the accused is guilty until proven innocent.

I see coming, in select political races, more of what we have been witnessing in the past few weeks and months.  I fully expect, after the first of the year, there to be some possibly fabricated new allegations against President Trump regarding sexual harassment or moral misconduct.  The demands for his resignation, impeachment, and ouster from office will crescendo with deafening volume and intensity.  Throughout 2018 there will be new allegations against various Republicans leading up to the mid-term elections in November.  The MSM, Democrats, and Establishment Republicans will echo those allegations requiring no proof and even if they are debunked and discredited they will be repeated incessantly.  Megyn Kelly formerly of Fox News has resurrected three discredited accusers of the President and is once again attempting to gain relevance in her failing career.  She will be joined by an army of activists in promoting allegations without requiring validation and proof.  The view of many will be, “if there is smoke there is fire” and our entire system of government, laws, and society will have shifted (selectively) from Innocent Until Proven Guilty to Guilty Until Proven Innocent.  Even then, it will be Guilty no matter if proven innocent.

The current Republican Establishment will continue, in most incidences, to sit on its hands, impede progress in advancing the agenda mandated by the 2016 Elections and collude with the Leftist against President Trump.  That will not bode well for the American people, and many will blame Trump for the failures of Congress.  The likely result will be that our borders will not be secured,  Obamacare will remain the Law of the Land, and our national security placed in grave jeopardy.  Optimism is difficult when recent history exposes the fraud and failure of Congressional leadership. 

WE CAN CHANGE THINGS.  We can, I am 100% convinced it is possible.  However, I am also 100% convinced that we will have to change the culture of Washington, D.C. while those who are perpetuating that destructive culture are in control.  That makes our task doubly daunting and difficult.  It must begin at the grass-roots or the local levels and then become the focus of the primaries then progress into the general elections.  We will not achieve this goal in one or two electoral cycles. In fact, I believe that it will require our children taking up the gauntlet and fighting the fight after we have gone the way of the earth.  It may require our grandchildren fighting the fight for Constitutional Freedom and be decades away from becoming a hope.  That is why it is difficult to be optimistic in light of today’s political and societal climate.  Does that mean I’m giving up?  NEVER!!!  I recognize that this is a fight that requires EVERYONE to become involved and, in my view, will require the help of our King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  This is a fight with roots far deeper than what we see and is a war for the Republic our Framers and Founders established.

I ask that you join me in intercession for America if you are one that prays.  I ask that you join me in the trenches and become involved politically as we search for the best possible candidates to elect as our legislative representatives in Washington, D.C.

God bless you and God bless America!

HOW MUCH COLLUSION WITH DEMOCRATS MUST BE EXPOSED BEFORE…


BLOG POST 3 - Collusion

Before what?  Before the Mueller Investigation comes to a screeching halt and is fully declared nothing more than a partisan fishing expedition.  I’m not sure there are enough shoes in the world to drop and achieve that result because the Establishment Never Trump Republicans are in collusion with the Leftist Democrats.  So long as Jeff Sessions sits on his hands in the Department of Justice and Congress turns a blind eye to the many revelations of partisanship in the Mueller team this will continue.

We know that multiple members of the Mueller Team have been and are in bed with the Leftist Democrats and are ardent Hillary Clinton supporters.  Why is that not a lead story on the various media outlets?  Why?  Because to expose the corruption, collusion, and fraud would defeat their objective of destroying Donald J. Trump, the Conservative agenda, and the fundamental transformation of America desired by the left and some on the right.

Now we are informed that Mr. Mueller’s top deputy attended Hillary Clinton’s election night party in New York City.  He was not there as a reporter because he is not a reporter.  He was there as a devoted supporter of the Clinton Campaign.  That alone is cause for him to be removed from the investigation.  However, if Mr. Mueller were to remove all the members of his team that support the Leftist Democrat agenda, he would have virtually nobody left, including himself.  Andrew Wiessmann, a top FBI attorney, referred to by the New York Times as Mueller’s “pit bull” is a leftist activist of the highest order.  Many have said that there are two primary reasons for attending a candidate’s victory party.  They are among the cheerleaders for the candidate or they want a job/promotion if the candidate wins.  Both, are valid reasons to disqualify Mr. Wiessmann from serving on the investigative team.

Mr. Weissman, supposedly unbiased, gushed with glee over then acting Attorney General, Sally Yates refusal to enforce Trump’s travel ban in January.  He sent an email saying, “I am so proud.  And in awe. Thank you so much.  All my deepest respects.”  How’s that for unbiased?  If that is unbiased then the earth is flat, the moon is made of green cheese, and unicorns are real and pigs fly.

We know that at least two members of the Mueller Team have done legal work for people connected to the Clintons.  Aaron Zebley, Mueller’s former chief-of-staff when Mr. Mueller was Director of the FBI, represented Justin Cooper, the Clinton Aide responsible for destroying Hillary’s email server.  Jeannie Rhee, another member of the Mueller Team represented the Clinton Foundation, Hillary Clinton herself, and former Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes.  So much for unbiased objective investigation. 

Special Prosecutors, Special Investigators, and Special Counsels have a track record of failure, corruption, collusion, and partisanship that make them largely untrustworthy.  They usually promise “short” timelines and fail to deliver.  They begin with limited budgets that rapidly become an endless flow of cash to pursue whatever they are pursuing.  They move from their stated objective to fishing expeditions looking for ANY CRIMES that might taint the character of their target or his/her associates.  Often, they become a Gestapo of sorts and become rogue with little or no supervision. 

This investigation, if it were limited to the initially stated objective of Russian collusion would be over by now.  It has morphed into a search for ANYTHING and we rarely hear the word “collusion” used in connection with the investigation.  The many leaks from within the investigation often appear to have been planned for the purpose of disseminating information designed to harm the President. They are illegal and unethical, but Mr. Mueller seems to have no desire to uncover the source and punish the guilty.  His focus is laser-like in the search to FIND SOMETHING to use against Donald J. Trump, the President of these United States of America.  His team has been called an army, a dream team, and a gathering of all-stars.  James Comey testified that he was responsible for leaking his own notes, hoping to prompt the appointment of a Special Investigator into the President.  Remember also, that Mr. Comey testified under oath that he WAS NOT INVESTIGATING the President.

Comey’s ploy worked and Department of Justice officials, holdovers from the Obama administration quickly acted and selected Comey’s longtime friend and associate Robert Mueller as the investigator.  How Convenient!  That, in the beginning, was clear evidence of a conflict of interest but Jeff Sessions recused himself and allowed it to go forward with no resistance.  The Deputy Director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe’s involvement is disturbing.  He ran the D.C. office that was deeply involved in the Clinton email investigations and for some strange reason, McCabe did not find it necessary to recuse himself.  If one digs a little they will find that McCabe’s wife Jill had announced her candidacy for a State Senate seat in Virginia and had received a huge donation of more than $675,000 from the political organizations of Governor Terry McAuliffe, a longtime Clinton supporter.  Conflict of interest?  Of course, but ignored by all those in positions to demand recusal.

We know that at least six of Robert Mueller’s staff of fifteen lawyers have previously donated, some very generously, to Hillary Clinton’s campaign are now involved in investigating her arch enemy politically, Donald J. Trump.  How is that not a conflict?  As we have touched on previously, Peter Strozk, an FBI investigator assigned to the Mueller Team and Lisa Page, a consulting FBI lawyer with ties to Hillary were removed with no clear explanation and that allowed the MSM to deem it nothing more than normal attrition.  However, we now know they had an extramarital affair and exchanged over 10,000 texts, of which many were adamantly ANTI-TRUMP and PRO-CLINTON.  Why did that come through leaks, not from a forthright statement by Mr. Mueller?  I guess, you’ll have to conclude for yourself or ask him, which you cannot.  It gets worse, we have learned that Strzok was the man responsible for the wording of the official FBI report on the Clinton email scandal.  He crossed out the original finding of “grossly negligent”, which is legalese that under the statute constitutes a crime, and replaced it with “extremely careless”, which does not warrant prosecution. HOW CONVENIENT!

Let me offer one more little tidbit on the corruption within the Mueller Dream Team of All-Stars.  Senior Justice Department official, Bruce G. Ohr, connected with various ongoing investigations under the aegis of the DOJ, was partially reassigned for his contact with the opposition-research firm responsible for the Clinton-funded, anti-Trump dossier.  There are others and there are more examples that destroy the credibility of the investigation and give credibility to the Trump assertion that this is nothing more than a Witch Hunt.

America and our System of Politics and Justice are hanging in the balance and if this type of activity is allowed to stand and continue, the Republic will incur extreme damage.  If you love Donald Trump or hate him, it matters not.  What matters is honest reporting, honest unbiased investigation of charges such as Russian Collusion not a team of people who are adamantly opposed to the object of the investigation.  THAT IS DESTRUCTIVE!

God bless you and God bless America!

PERSONAL REFLECTIONS AS 2018 COMMENCES…


BLOG POST 1 - Reflections

As one year has reached its climax and concluded another has begun its journey toward completion.  In the Book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 we are told that there is a time and a season for everything including birth and death, planting and gathering, killing and healing, tearing down and building up, weeping and laughing, mourning and dancing, etc.  The list is quite extensive, but the reality is life is cyclical and seasonal.

I believe that one of our problems today is that we often fail to grasp that reality and view whatever is happening at the moment the finale rather than simply one of the many acts in the play.  No, I do not take lightly the events of life, but I have learned in my numerous decades on planet earth that until we draw our final breath nothing is final, and everything is subject to change.  Tragically, in various areas of life, we have allowed some to hijack the JOY OF LIFE through deception, false information, and hysteria.  That is especially true in the political and the rhetoric of various activist have robbed many of the JOY OF LIFE and LIVING.  I consider that a slap in the face of intelligence and a rejection of God Himself.  You may disagree but if there is a time for everything and life has seasons, my argument should resonate with you.

The matter of Climate Change, Global Warming, or Climate Disruption where the basic tenet is that man is the culprit for the changes in weather conditions and patterns is not based on true scientific data but is a hypothesis and theory.  It is not settled science as Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and others have declared.  There are numerous scientist who adamantly disagree with the theory that man is the culprit and that natural changes, which are cyclical are the answer.  However, many of those who do not believe in the theory that man is the problem believe there is no clear answer to why or how those changes occur.  Something or someone beyond their ability to fully comprehend or define is the driving force.  Global Warming takes a dramatic hit ever so often as this year in Erie, Pennsylvania where they have received over 8’ of snow since Christmas Eve.  I remember growing up in East Texas and seeing winters where you could wear shorts year-round and winters where the temperature plunged to sub-zero.  I’ve seen snow and ice that destroyed power lines and left communities in the dark for days and seen times when there was no snow or ice.  The hysteria has caused some to despair of life because they now believe that they (mankind) are the problem and some have taken their own lives as a result.  THAT IS TRAGIC!

If we consider the political scene in America, we find that we experience a time of liberals in power and a time of conservatives occupying that seat and the mood of the voting public changes from time to time.  The tragedy in the American Political Environment is that those seeking office and power are far less concerned about America and Americans than they are about Power, Position, and Purse.  I am reminded of the Jewish Sanhedrin in the Bible concerning Jesus expressed their real focus.  It was not the betterment of the people or the advancement of God’s Purposes but POSITION.  They said in John 11 after Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead and worked other miracles, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.  If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come AND TAKE AWAY BOTH OUR PLACE AND OUR NATION.”  (Emphasis mine) Their concern is similar to that of today’s Political Establishment and Swamp Denizens in Washington, D.C. – POSITION and POWER not America or the American People.  The sad reality is that the Power brokers of both major political parties are like peas in a pod and that is one of the reasons they hate and fear Donald Trump.  He represents the potential of dismantling or seriously limiting their POWER and POSITION and that is far more important to them than the Constitution or the American Republic.  We, in their view, are their serfs and subject to their wishes.  We, in their minds, are to serve them not them serve the public.  Although the Political is cyclical we are observing a slow but steady erosion of Liberty and Freedom and with each cyclical change from Liberal to Conservative we get more of the Liberal Leftist ideology and less of the Conservative Constitutional.  THEREFORE, we must, not should, dismantle the Deep State, Drain the Swamp, and assist many of the professional politicians in D.C. to find new employment.  THAT is one of my 2018 Objectives!

There are few constants in life.  Virtually nothing remains the same.  Relationships decay and die if they are not nurtured and developed continually.  Businesses fail if there is not continual labor to adapt to the changing times and recognize the cycle or season coming next.  Republics fall when apathy becomes more prevalent than diligence and active involvement by the masses in the politics of that nation.  Regardless of who first declared, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” it is TRUE. 

As I look back on 2017 and ahead to 2018 I am grateful that America united sufficiently to defeat the extension of the policies of Barack Obama in the person of Hillary Clinton.  I believe we are in a cycle of opportunity and change that can lead us into a very productive 2018 and accomplish much in the way of restoration of America as the Constitutional Republic our Founders and Framers established.  We can face the insanity of much of the Political Correctness with Reason, Respect for Individual Rights, and exercise Understanding and Common Sense.  We can recover from our drift our moral moorings as a nation.  We can see America become the beacon of Hope, Freedom, Liberty, and Self-Government the world so desperately needs. We can become “a” if not” the” leader of the Free World not to impose our views on the world but to lead them to their own place in a Free Society.  We can see the Family strengthened and that alone will resolve much of the tension now existing on many fronts.  We cannot legislate morality, but we can, as a people recognize our drift, acknowledge our failures, and move toward the goal of our Founders and Framers – Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
