PATRIOTS, WE DO NOT HAVE TO LOSE…


BLOG POST 3 - Do Not Have to Lose

Lovers of Freedom, we do not have to lose in life or politics in America.  It is not an unwritten mandate that we shift back and forth between the political powers controlling Congress, the White House, and the political landscape of the nation.  IT IS NOT REQUIRED and usually NOT DESIRED, yet we have allowed it to happen time and again.  WHY?  That is the question that keeps traveling through the corridors of my mind.  Why do we, the voting public, allow this to happen?  Why do we elect a Republican as President and then allow the Democrats to gain power in the mid-term elections?

The answer to the WHY today may have more to do with HATE than REASON.  The Left is energized, so it seems, because of HATE and far too many on the Right either embrace that HATE or they are complacent.  Neither is good for the country and need to be identified and exposed.  There are a significant number of traditionally conservative and Republican voters who so DESPISE the current President they would be willing to lose the White House and Congress than see him win and even succeed.

I am stunned at how many Republicans, Conservatives, and those identifying as Constitutionalist are still embracing the NEVER TRUMP and OUST TRUMP coalition.  The Heritage Foundation, a very conservative and pro constitution organization has reported that 64% of Trumps promised agenda has already been done.  They indicated that he has enacted conservative policies faster than Ronald Reagan.  The report indicated that of the 334 agenda items called for by the Heritage Foundation, Donald Trumps administration has implemented 64% of them to date.  THAT IS AMAZING!  In just ONE YEAR, this president, that many hate with a passion, has done more to advance the cause of constitutional conservatism than any president and yet he is vilified as being incarnate evil.  The Heritage Foundation reported that President Trump has not simply focused on “single agenda items” but has enacted a “broad and sweeping agenda” touching many aspects of American life and politics.  He has moved on foreign policy, immigration, tax reform, healthcare and more, moves that the media refuses to report his successes.  The report card by the Heritage Foundation reveals that President Trump has achieved 81 major accomplishments and slashed at least 11 major legacy items of the Obama regime.

Among his moves include:

  • Leaving the Paris Climate Accord.
  • Repealing Net Neutrality.
  • Reinstating the Mexico City Policy which prevents tax-payer money from funding international groups involved in abortion and ended the funding of the United Nation’s Population Fund (an Agenda 21 plan).
  • Increased military spending.
  • Reformed Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) by strengthening existing work requirements in order to receive benefits.
  • Allowing the Development of Natural Resources.
  • Reforming Government Agencies – seeking to reduce the scope and size of departments.
  • Withdrawing from UNESCO.

Those are just a small sampling of what his administration has sought to do.  We have witnessed the appointments of conservative federal judges and are takings steps to secure our border and make our national defense stronger and America safer.  There is much more to be done, but we have moved forward at a very fast pace.  However, if you receive your information from the MSM, Hollywood, the Democrats, and liberal Republicans you’d think this has been the most DO-NOTHING administration in American history.  By allowing them to control the narrative is one of the reasons we LOSE too often when we should be winning.

President Trump and his team believe, as do I, that we could increase our majority in Congress in the 2018 mid-terms and increase the Senate majority by 4-10 seats if we Congress could get behind the agenda.  There is no question that failure by the GOP to ACT DECISIVELY in support of the promised agenda could result in losses in the Senate and House and threaten the White House in 2020.  The base that supports this President is not a bunch of “right-wing kooks” as we are described the MSM, Democrats and Never Trump Republicans.  As the economy improves and once the tax cuts kick in and Joe Citizen realizes the benefit to himself and his family, the Republican Party or the Trump Base should grow.  Much depends on the involvement or lack thereof of WE THE PEOPLE who want to see America Restored to her rightful Constitutional Place.

If we allow Nancy Pelosi to reclaim her perch as the Speaker of the House, we will “pay the piper” and the damage done will probably be irrevocable.  If we do not add to the Senate majority the weak-willed far too moderate or liberal and weak Mitch McConnell will get little done.  In the current state of the Senate and GOP Leadership, every victory is virtually a miracle.  If we want a ‘long-lasting’ majority that could give us a viable pathway and a real possibility of achieving the Campaign Promises made to America in 2016 we MUST, and I emphasize MUST defeat the Democrats and elect people to the House and Senate who will fight for America and fulfill the Promises made to us.

Patriots and Lovers of Freedom, WE DO NOT HAVE TO LOSE.  We have a message that should, and I believe will resonate with Americans and advance the cause of liberty and freedom in the Republic.  THAT MEANS that you and I must become involved, probably to a greater extent that we have in the past.  We need to inform as many people as possible of WHAT WE STAND FOR and pressure Congress to get off their duffs and get to work.  We need to invest ourselves in the campaigns of various candidates and fight for them getting people to the polls.  We need to pray, pray, and pray for America and we need to VOTE.  No, you cannot do as the Democrats and Voter Early and Often, but you can V O T E…

Remember November!  God bless you and God bless America!

TOXIC LIBERALISM is The Real Problem in America…


BLOG POST 2 - Liberals

How’s that for alienating part of my audience at the outset?  That was not my purpose in the title but for those interested in discovering or identifying the Real Problems in our Society, Government, and America maybe it will be a catalyst that propels us into a serious discussion and honest introspection.  Then again, maybe not, but I will try because I care about America, the Republic, our Liberties and Freedoms, and the Lives of our Citizens.  I am willing to honestly evaluate what is happening, has happened, and likely to happen.  I am willing to enter into serious discussion with anyone truly wanting to identify the problem and find a real solution. I am not interested in engaging in a name-calling, rhetorical discussion, that is a total waste of time, as is evidenced in where we are today.

America has drifted from its moral moorings.  I believe that is an inescapable fact, but one that some refuse to acknowledge for sundry reasons.  When I review the information available, attempting to wade through the fodder to get to the grain, regarding the shooter in Florida I see several things that help identify a real problem in America and in this young man’s life.  From all I can gather, this individual had little to no male role model influence that he could look up to, be mentored by, and benefit from.  That is tragic, but not isolated to him, it is rampant in our society today and I blame liberalism or the Leftist for that.  It is, in many ways, government’s fault and a problem that we can correct. 

I don’t know the mental condition or possible mental illness issues he may have which helped to prompt his heinous acts, but the absence of a strong male role model that could have positively impacted him is a significant issue.  The Feminist Movement, the Progressives, the Politically Correct Agenda, and the Leftist have labored tirelessly for decades to diminish the value of fathers in the home.  That dates back beyond Lyndon Johnson, but it got kicked into high gear under his administration and legislation he hammered through.  Much of his supposed “civil rights” legislation did more to damage the family, the home, and true civil rights than anything previously.  Barack Obama and his administration attempted to build on that destruction and in the words of Hillary Clinton, “it takes a village to raise a child” has become the mantra of the Left.  NO, it takes a family with a father and mother and a strong extended family to raise a child and train them in healthy moral values, not the government.  The government, in many ways, for many people replaced the father in the home and thus the decline we have witnessed for 50 years is producing negative fruit that we will deal with for generations.

Yes, I become nostalgic when it comes to reflection regarding my upbringing and I am biased in my opinion of the correctness of that societal view of family and fathers.  We once considered things that were definitively masculine to be valued but today they are being decried as unacceptable and to be altered.  Young men, with significant challenges, such as Nikolas Cruz are the product of the toxic liberalism, progressivism, and political correctness running amok in our society.  Once we valued, “fatherly influence in the home, loyalty, fraternity, camaraderie, constancy, courage, chivalry, patriotism, protector, laborer, and responsibility” but today maleness is considered something bad.  Men and the need for a positive male role model in the home and society once valued are devalued to the point it is being pushed into extinction.  THAT IS A PROBLEM! 

Blog Post 11 - Toxic Liberalism

The present Pop Culture, frequently if not usually, portrays men as nothing more than barbaric animals driven by sexual appetite who are abuses to be feared and hated.  Some are, but not all, nor the majority!  Sitcoms and comedians enjoy portraying men as moronic dunderheads who are deadbeat ignoramuses who are unworthy of any significant role in society of anyone’s life.  They are that movement’s useful idiots and nothing more.  That is foreign to the Bible and our Founding Principles and the principles that guided this nation for centuries.  We have drifted from the value of fathers to our own hurt and the by-product are people like this Florida teenage shooter.  The Leftist and even the Feminist portray people such as Bill Clinton as being “good men” while vilifying anyone who is Conservative.  We have apparent sexual psychopaths such as Hollywood’s Harvey Weinstein, who until recently was touted as a marvelous humanitarian.  We have witnessed a decline in two-parent families in black homes and it is growing in all sectors of society. 

In our drift morally, we have witnessed the push for inclusiveness to the point of danger and the willingness to protect criminals, illegals, and terrorist is problematic.  Until the late 60’s Westerners acknowledged that the world contained bad people who were intent on doing evil. Today, that is categorization is anathema to the Utopian Fabian political elite and Liberals.   Until the 70 ’s many Americans were subjected to involuntary commitment to psychiatric facilities wrongly and we have reacted, rightly and wrongly to that invasion of our rights. If we are going to survive as the Free Constitutional Republic that can provide any semblance of a safe environment for our citizens, WE MUST return to accountability and responsibility in the citizenry as well as within the government.  The first may be far easier to achieve than the latter because of the quest for power, position, and purse.

Our founding fathers believed that American citizens were responsible and accountable enough to possess firearms, but the modern liberals do not!  The Left blames the weapon not the users of the weapon or any societal defect. That is an easier position because it requires no change in our attitude and allows people to continue in their irresponsibility and lack of accountability.  There must be consequences for evil and until society returns to our moral moorings and values the influence of the fathers we will see this plunge into a deeper state of depravity.  Everyone will suffer, liberals and conservatives, the able and the feeble.  EVERYONE!   I believe that one of our biggest issues is the lack of personal responsibility and accountability and that is due to the pervasive mindset of ENTITLEMENT and POLITICAL CORRECTNESS advanced by the liberal leftists of our world.  We need to restore the home, family values, moral precepts, and allow God to once again to influence our government and personal interactions.  Disagree if you please, that is your right.  This is my view and I believe that if we honestly view and contemplate the problems and the possible reasons as well as solutions I have advanced we will agree it is a better direction than where we are today.

God bless you and God bless America!

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HAS GONE TOO FAR…


BLOG POST 1 - PC is not Right

America, we are being pushed into a position and a condition where the only possible outcome will be WAR between opposing factions in this political and ideological debate.  I lay the blame for that at the feet of the purveyors of the insane political correctness that is rampant and gone viral in America today.  The insanity of most, if not all, of the political correctness, is impossible to explain rationally, understand logically, or defend and yet it continues and is escalating to the point of being incredibly dangerous for everyone!

When you toy with the emotions of emotionally fragile people you endanger them and everyone else.  That is exactly what has been happening through the push of political correctness and manipulating the fragile snowflakes and activist of today’s world.  I see a condition developing that is incredibly dangerous and volatile exacerbated by this push which is being advanced by those seeking power and position rather than resolution of problems.  There are those who enjoy a national platform, who are guilty of inciting paranoia, fear, hatred, distrust, and a level of vindictiveness that is or will endanger everyone!  I am sounding the alarm and you may consider me nothing more than an alarmist, conspiracy theorist, or suffer from unreasonable paranoia, but time will prove me right!  I only hope that we, the American people, do not wake up too late and fail to find a remedy to defeat and reverse this trend and destroy this all-consuming monster that has been given life politically.

The Left, many Democrats, and those who ascribe to the mentality of Political Correctness are pressing issues which will result in negative reactions from those being pushed.  In my view, the Democrats, various activist, and the Liberal Leftists of this nation regardless of party affiliation have allowed the TARGETING OF WHITE MALES for extinction.  I know that I’m on dangerous grounds saying that but let me further expound my belief and reason for that assertion.  In Nancy Pelosi’s recent rant, she used an anecdote involving her grandson to advance her political position on racial and identity politics.  She said that her six-year-old white grandson said that he wished he had brown skin like his friend from Guatemala.  She called that “beautiful” and I could accept that were it not for the inference in her anecdote that somehow whiteness is not beautiful and even evil and ugly.  How she forgets that she is white escapes me, but maybe it is not white women but white men that she fears and hates.  What happened to the idea and ideal that ALL OF GOD’S CHILDREN can be and are beautiful in their own way?  The comments of her grandson may have simply been the mind of a child working in its unbiased way and something transpired to cause him to want to look like his friend.  That’s not where my problem rests in her comments but in her inferences and inclusion of the exclusion of whiteness.

We have witnessed this type of prejudice and watched its destructiveness in our history.  It has not been limited to one side of the equation and it is disgusting.  This is a knife that cuts both directions and when you degrade anyone based on the pigmentation of their skin you are doing exactly what was evidenced in Nazi Germany where the idea of racial superiority of one race was adopted.  In that mentality, there is the danger of becoming willing to eradicate that undesirable ethnicity or element and seek a Super Race. That is wrong and dangerous!  The tired claim of “white privilege” is wearisome and dangerous.  Engaging in what can only be described as “white-bashing” and “cultural genocide” usually results in deaths and violence.  NOBODY SHOULD WANT THAT!  One of my problems with the “Black Lives Matter Movement” is my core belief that ALL LIVES MATTER!  Our Declaration of Independence declared the belief of our Founding Fathers that ALL LIVES MATTER.  “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”  If being ‘white’ becomes a crime, as is being presented in the bashing we are witnessing the only possible result is VIOLENCE.  I am white, I was born that way.  I had no choice in the matter and am not ashamed of it.  You may be black because that’s the way you were born.  Let’s all embrace our ethnicity and be proud of who we are while advancing the idea that we are all HUMAN BEINGS and in the case of this nation, AMERICANS!  No matter the pigmentation of your skin you are a HUMAN BEING and a creature created by God.  You are not evil or good based on your skin color.  It is the condition of your heart that produces evil or goodness, not your whiteness, blackness, or any other color of skin.

The HATRED along racial lines is one of the many elements infused into the debate by the Democrats who embrace an America “fundamentally transformed” into a Socialist State or something quite other than what we have been for over 240 years. People like Representative Luis Gutiérrez, (D-IL) is another who is advancing a culture of racial hate that is plunging us down a dangerous path.  If you were watching the State of the Union address when the chants, USA, USA, USA began to echo through the chamber you observed him almost running from the chamber.  If this Congressman’s actions and words, usually filled with intense anger and hate toward anyone not supporting blanket amnesty were honest reflections of his belief that we are all citizens of the world, I might be able to tolerate it.  But I do not believe that to be the case and believe that he and the Democrats are pushing Amnesty, not for humanitarian reasons but for political jockeying.  The Democrats are in danger of millions of their voters waking up and realizing that their diatribe and rhetoric are nothing but empty promises. The more Donald Trump is able to fulfill his campaign promises the more people may wake up for results often wakes people up.  If that happens within the black community the Democrats would be in deep trouble politically and in need of replacing that secure voting bloc with another.  They see the illegals as fulfilling that bill and therefore are pushing for Amnesty.  To the Leftist, the ILLEGALS are guaranteed Democrat votes.

Although it is another subject entirely, Representative Gutiérrez represents the 4th Congressional District in Illinois which is a highly gerrymandered snake-shaped district specifically formulated to protect him in his vitriol and hate.  He has spewed his hate for anyone in the military that is not a Leftist by declaring that General John Kelly was unfit to wear his uniform because he opposed DACA.  Representative Gutiérrez can only be described as a prolific hater and race baiter in the mold of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Luis Farrakhan having no respect for America and our American sovereignty or the rule of law.  He has admitted that the Obama program of DACA and programs of that nature are TROJAN HORSES designed to “transform” America’s political landscape.  He said, “Now it is time for the president of the United States…(to) free the moms and dads of the DREAMers and to go further – be broad and expansive and generous.”  How many would he be able to enlist?  He said on the “Morning Joe” program, “I think we can get 3 or 4, maybe even 5 MILLION people.”  I guess he ascribes to the ideology and philosophy, “If you can’t convince voters, then import them,” which is the new leftist tactic.

AMERICA, no matter if you are white, black, brown, or any other skin color, if you push people into a corner because of their skin pigmentation there will eventually push back.  Newton’s Law comes into play in this equation, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”  It appears that the Politically Correct Crowd either naively believe they can force everyone into compliance peacefully or they want WAR and CHAOS.  I suspect that for those driving that bus it is the latter not the former.  I realize that there are far too many today who have never had a cognitive thought and engaged in critical thinking and believe that being white is inherently evil and that we are all citizens of the world.  They believe that any disagreement with their ideology should be punishable by imprisonment and possible death.  Let me warn you, that street is a two-way street and incredibly dangerous.  It is the pathway to destruction not healing!

My rant may seem incoherent and disjointed but hopefully, you will connect the dots and realize that if we allow the Left to return to power we will have effectively voted for destruction.  If you corner a normally gentle and loving animal and cause it to fear for its existence IT WILL BITE YOU!  That is where we are headed with the demands of Political Correctness.  We cannot completely eliminate that monster and mentality, but we can ensure that we do not send proponents of it to Washington to govern.  REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER that you are voting for or against America!

God bless you and God bless America!

 

PUBLIC EDUCATION and OUR FOUNDERS and FRAMERS…


Blog Post 2 - Education

The Founders of the American Republic and the Framers of our Constitution and System of Government were very Pro-Public School.  I have discovered in my research and study some interesting facts regarding the educational process, textbooks, and the administration of education in the view of the Framers and Founders.  I grow increasingly weary with the insistence of those on the Left and the Separationist of Church and State proponents who insist that those men were unified and adamantly opposed to anything of religion, the Bible, and Church in education or government.  Our society has allowed the banning of prayer from the public schools and most sporting events as well as government, especially Christian prayer and the reading of the Bible.  Anything remotely connected to the Bible is deemed anathema to the Left, the ACLU, the Democrats and some on the Right.  They advance the theory and belief that there is to be an impenetrable wall called “Separation of Church and State” arguing that prevents anything biblical being used in the public sector.  Are they correct?

NO!  I say that but realize that the next question would be WHY?  Because for a very long time, in our American history, the Bible was used as the primary textbook in public education.  Rather than those students being stymied in their political, educational, and social development many of them became some of America’s most prominent scientist, educators, writers, statesmen, military leaders, ministers, and patriots.  From time to time, in our early history, someone would argue or suggest a different text to be used as the core curriculum in schools and each time it would be resoundingly rejected by the very Framers that the Separationist insist were opposed to the Bible and Religion in public.  How do the Leftist resolve that conflict?  They don’t but avoid the conversation and quote isolated and out of context statements of the Framers or Founders.

One of our Founders, Fisher Ames, a member of the committee that developed and wrote the Bill of Rights met this issue head-on in a published article, “School Books.”  He observed the trend of putting a number of little books into the hands of students.  Books that were filled with fables and supposed moral lessons. He noted that each time one of those books was placed in the classroom more time was spent on it detracted from time spent on the Bible.  His observation was that the Bible was gradually being moved to the shelf and that, in his view, was a significant problem.  He argued, “Why then if these books for children must be retained (as they will be), should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a school book?  Its morals are pure; its examples captivating and noble.  The reverence for the Sacred Book that is thus early impressed last long, and probably, if not impressed in infancy never takes firm hold on the mind.”

I ask that you further consider Fisher Ames, the man, the Founder, the Framer, and the American Patriot.  He, some argue, is living proof of the benefits of the Bible being used in the public-school system.  He learned to read at a very early age and at the age of six had begun to learn Latin.  At the age of twelve, he passed the entrance exam for Harvard and graduated at the age of sixteen.  Rather than being deficient or warped in his education he blossomed and became an incredible figure in American history and life.  He is not alone.  Another signer of the Declaration of Independence, John Witherspoon had read the Bible from cover to cover at the age of four.  That is Amazing!  As a child, he could recite the New Testament from memory.  I am impressed!  John Trumbull, a Founding Father, and justice on the Supreme Court of Connecticut had completed reading the Bible by the age of four.  Author Harriet Beecher Stowe (author of the abolitionist classic Uncle Tom’s Cabin), at the age of seven, had memorized twenty-seven hymns and numerous chapters from the Bible.  Public school teacher, James Tappan said of Daniel Webster, “I held up a handsome new jack-knife to the scholars and said the boy who would commit to memory the greatest number of Bible verses by Monday morning should have it.  Many of the boys did well; but when it came Daniels time to recite, I found that he had committed so much (to memory) that after hearing him recite some sixty or seventy verses, I was obligated to give up, he telling me that there were several chapters yet that he had learned.  Daniel got the jack-knife.”

 I’m sorry, Separatist and those who disbelieve the Bible, and those who would restrict our 1st Amendment Right of Freedom of Religion and Speech, the Bible was the Primary textbook in the public school for a very long time in America.  Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence was strongly against the failure to use the Bible as the core textbook.  In 1791, he published a work offering numerous reasons why the Bible MUST remain America’s premier school text.  In part, he said, “In the sixth chapter of Deuteronomy, we find the following words which are directly to my purpose: ‘And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  And these words which I have command thee this day shall be in thine heart, and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest down, and when thou risest up.”  (vv.5-7) …The learning of the Jews for many years consisted in nothing but a knowledge of the Scriptures… But the benefits of an early and general acquaintance with the Bible was not confined to the Jewish nations: they have appeared in many countries in Europe since the Reformation.  The industry and habits of order which distinguish many of the German nations are derived from their early instruction in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible.  The moral and enlightened character of the inhabitants of Scotland and New England states appears to be derived from the same cause… [The Bible] should be read in our schools in preference to all other books.”

Before you argue that Nazi German makes a case against the Bible in public schools you might want to examine the texts at the time of Hitler’s rise to power.  Many of our Founders and Framers argued that if we removed the Bible from public education we would be forced to deal with delinquency and criminality in a far greater measure.  They have subsequently been proven correct.  My education, in the public school, was during the 50’s and 60’s and although we still had prayer and recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, little was taught about the Bible or the religious and moral beliefs of our Founders and Framers.  Christopher Columbus, much vilified today, believed that it was God who put in his mind to sail from Europe to the Indies and in doing so discovered America. The Pilgrim Fathers were staunchly religious and valued the Bible in education.  One of the greatest preachers of any era, Jonathan Edwards along with George Whitefield believed in the value of the Bible in public education.  Benjamin Franklin, some claim a Deist wrote in his autobiography, “I never doubted, for instance, the existence of the Deity; that He made the world and governed it by His Providence; that the most acceptable service of God was doing good to man; that our souls are immortal; and that all crime will be punished, and virtue rewarded, either here or hereafter.”  We dare not overlook the value the Father of our Nation, George Washington placed on the Bible and God’s Providence or influence in our nation and our lives.  Nor must we omit the influence of Noah Webster in his insistence that “Education is useless without the Bible or God’s Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct.”

With the rejection of God and the Bible in our public schools and the public arena, we have seen the rise in ideologies and actions such as abortion on demand, same-sex marriages, the devaluation of human life, the welfare and entitlement mentality, and our tarnished racial relations.   I believe that one of the most anti-Bible presidents in modern history was the last one, Barack Obama.  I believe that if we are to preserve the American Constitutional Republic we must return to valuing the Bible and recognizing God’s hand in our history and existence.  I would expect some to vehemently disagree and kick me to the curb on various social media outlets and that is their right and choice.  I respect everyone’s right to disagree, but I believe that history and my own experience with God validate the value of the Bible in public education.  I can appreciate not wanting any particular sect, brand, or tribe of the Christian religion being taught as the only pathway, but I believe the moral and relational tenets of the Bible, especially the New Testament would be beneficial.

God bless you and God bless America!

 

THE REAL PROBLEM IS NOT THE AR-15…


BLOG POST 1 - Real Problems

If you will allow me to be a bit facetious and sarcastic, IT’S THE POLITICIANS!   Do I have your attention?  Have I infuriated anyone?  I would wager the answer to both questions received a resounding YES.  I would also wager that some will immediately turn me off and look for the unfriend button on Facebook and deem me demented lunatic needed medical attention and confinement.  I am HORRIFIED over another mass shooting at a public school.  I am HORRIFIED at the dangers faced by the innocent and those unable to defend themselves or those who should not have to as in this type of heinous crime.  I am HORRIFIED by the political and societal reactions placing the blame at the wrong doorstep and failing to grasp the REAL PROBLEM and thereby negate the possibility of finding a REAL SOLUTION.  The latter opens the door and ensures that this treachery and evil will continue and happen again and again regardless of what new legislation is passed to BAN or CONTROL the evil firearm, especially the so-called “assault rifle” such as the AR-15.

If you are still with me, let me explain what I mean and attempt to identify the real problem in America and much of the world regarding this type of terrorism, treachery, evil, and criminal behavior.  I am amazed at how little most of the public actually knows about various firearms and yet, they speak as experts on what we should or should not have access to as law-abiding citizens who demonstrate safety and responsibility.  They are quick to seek to rescind our 2nd Amendment Rights and in doing so will endanger far more than they help and open the door to incredibly governmental overreach and possibly then implementation of Despotism and Tyranny in America.

The AR-15 IS NOT an “assault rifle” or a “machine gun.”  It is a “semi-automatic” version of the old M-16, which was a “machine gun” or could empty the magazine with a single pull of the trigger.  The version of the AR-15 available to the public DOES NOT DO THAT!  That would be illegal as per laws already on the books.  What new law are you going to propose that would prevent a criminal, terrorist, or deranged person bent on evil from modifying or using whatever weaponry they could find?  The AR-15 and similar rifles are getting a bad rap from the MSM, Hollywood, the Leftist, and Activist who want to BAN GUNS and the claim that it is a super-powerful weapon is absurd.  It chambers a 5.56 NATO or a .223 bullet and that is quite underpowered compared to the M1873 “Trapdoor” or the M1903 Springfield 30.06.  The AR-15 is a .22-caliber centerfire and not the monster being reported by the uninformed.  It is highly evolved, and the use of space-age materials makes it lightweight, highly durable, and weather resistant.  Target shooters love it for those reasons and its versatility and so do hunters, contrary to the claim of the Left that NOBODY USES IT TO HUNT.   Wrong again!  It is a favorite of Southern hog-hunters, Western prairie dog-hunters, and is perfect for Texas deer or medium-sized Eastern whitetails.  Also, nobody uses a 30-round magazine to hunt if, for no other reason, it is illegal to do so in most states.

Banning the AR-15 and other firearms because of how they look and the misconception of what they are or can do would be like banning the 747 because terrorist used it to kill people on 9/11.  After all, who needs to fly through the air at 5-700 miles per hour?  What about SUV’s or other automobiles that are used by terrorist and involved in car crashes, many of which have an impaired driver.  Do we ban them as well?  If we could just go back to the horse and buggy we would reduce the fatal automobile accidents, so let’s demand legislation to do that.  Before you attack me for that sarcastic statement and insist that I’m missing the point, let me ask what about the innocent babies in the womb?  If we believe that “banning guns” or more stringent “gun laws” will save one life are we not also concerned about abortions and could we not seek to save EVEN ONE BABY?

There is nothing about mass-shootings that is defensible and should horrify everyone.  We should be actively seeking to discuss everything and anything that might help rectify this problem and bring a sense of safety and peace to American hearts, especially our children.  BUT, I believe we are targeting the wrong culprit and in doing so we will not only not solve the problem we will allow it to grow worse.  We will become more and more frustrated with the inept attempts of legislation to solve the problem.  It will not because evil is evil and cares nothing about the law or human life.  You can’t solve that problem with more laws and more stringent controls on American’s ability for “self-defense.”

We have had guns for a very long time in America and yet, mass-shootings in the degree and proportion they are transpiring is a relatively new phenomenon. You could have used the Winchester repeating rifle of the 1800’s to conduct this type of atrocity witnessed in Florida.  You could have used a bow and arrows, broad-ax, sword or club to achieve that evil.  Why didn’t we see this type of activity back then?  I suggest there are many reasons, not the least of which was the moral and religious condition and position of the nation at that time.  NO, everyone was not a Christian and NO, everyone did not obey the law or value human life.  BUT, Society as a Whole valued our Christian heritage and we had strong families with the influence of the fathers highly regarded.  The Supreme Court ruled in 1892 that the United States was a Christian nation.  That, in my view, is difficult to argue today.  We are faced with the ever-growing influence of paganism and political correctness which is eroding our values and attempting to rewrite our laws and values to accommodate those views which are the antithesis of what America was for most of our history.  Rifle bans, throughout the world, have not stopped mass-murder as has been seen in France, Egypt, and Britain.  James Madison warned us in Federalist #10 regarding the Tyranny of the majority, in which, a faction, “united … by some common impulse of passion … adverse to the rights of other citizens” vies for power and control.”  Where are we today?  Consider the reactions being given a 24/7/365 airing by the youth in Florida and the Democrats.

Emotionally charged teenagers who have endured years of indoctrination in the liberal agenda of the Leftist including the N.E.A, the MSM, Hollywood, the Liberal Leftists, the Globalist, and too many politicians are now the face of “Gun Control.”  We are being told that if we love kids we must hate guns.  We are told the NRA, who had nothing to do with this, is a Terrorist Organization and any Conservative who defends the 2nd Amendment is aiding and abetting Terrorism.  THAT IS ABSURD, but the Kids believe it and the Democrats are ensuring they are out there constantly to touch our heartstrings and move us in compassion or empathy to willingly reject our needed right of “self-defense.”  YES, we need to discuss this incredibly serious and diabolical situation.  But to omit the need for father figures, strong families, moral values, and the problem of mental illness and unadulterated evil is WRONG!  We also must address the failure of communication between Law Enforcement agencies and redevelop our information system so that it accurately and adequately raised the needed RED FLAGS.  The warm-and-fuzzy approach of Gun Legislation is not the answer.  As a Christian, I declare GOD IS.  I know that may not resonate with some, but this is far more a heart and mind issue than a weapon of choice issue.  Until we actually deal with the Real Problem we will not find Real Solutions and this type of thing will continue to happen regardless of who is President or who is the majority in Congress.  Are we willing to honestly look at the matter or will we continue to inflame and divide the nation?  I pray we do the former not the latter.

God bless you and God bless America!

 

WE MUST NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE 2018 MID-TERM ELECTIONS…


BLOG POST 2 - Elections Have Consequences

If we do and allow the Leftist, Socialist, Progressive, Liberal Democrats to regain control of one or both Houses of Congress we will do great harm if not destroy the Republic.  I know that is a heavy statement to make.  I also know that there are those who argue, “We will survive, we always do and have.”  Let me caution you, this is different than anything we have faced and with each electoral cycle and the intensity of those who desire to “fundamentally transform” America it grows more serious.  I said in 2016 that election was the most important and crucial election we had faced thus far and it was.  Now I am warning that the 2018 mid-term elections are potentially, if not factually the most critical we have ever faced.  Believe me or believe me not, your choice but I hope you will hear why I believe that.

The Special Investigation led by Robert Mueller is designed for one purpose and one purpose only.  That, in a nutshell, is stopping Donald Trump and either removing him from office, forcing him to resign, or preventing him from being reelected or all the above.  The investigation has never been about finding evidence of a crime because NONE OF THEM believe there was a crime committed by Donald Trump.  The Mueller investigation and the token indictments are a part of a much larger picture and purpose.  It is designed to build a dossier for the Democrats to use, should they return to power in 2018 and develop articles of impeachment against the President.  No matter how failed the investigation appears and how minor the charges are leveled against various people, it will not stop!  The Republicans in Congress and the Department of Justice have no intention of stopping it for many reasons, one of which is fear of public opinion.  Another reason is that many of the Republicans and DOJ officials want Trump gone as well.

The Establishment is highly offended that Donald Trump is in the White House.  He was not supposed to be there, in their view, and therefore they believe they are justified in anything and everything they do as being for the ‘greater good.’  We are discovering that the FBI was less than forthcoming in their dealings with General Flynn and that reality could vacate the charges against him.  They were apparently less than forthcoming with the FISA Court and that should have very negative repercussions regarding every case they have developed and cloud the investigation to the point that Congress says, ENOUGH!  I do not expect that to happen, but it could and should.  The indictments against Russians for being Russians are simply diversions and an attempt to provide the appearance of the preponderance of evidence for the Democrats to use in the future.  After all, how can you explain Hillary’s defeat if it was not Russian manipulation of the election?  The Leftists and the Never Trumpers are all in agreement, Trump must go, and they follow the Alinsky model and motto that the “end justifies the means” and they will “never” let a crisis go to waste.  Tell a lie big enough, loud enough, and frequently enough and it will be believed.  THAT’S WHAT IS HAPPENING!

Let me take you back to October 2016 and then President Barack Hussein Obama’s declaration in the Rose Garden regarding ‘rigging the election’.  He was chiding Donald Trump calling him a “whiner” and declared something that was conveniently forgotten and abandoned just weeks later when Trump won!   He said, in response to Trump’s claims that the election was being rigged or there was an attempt to rig the election in favor of Hillary.  Obama said, “You start whining before the game’s even over?”  He said that Trump’s allegations were not “based on facts.”  He said that “I have not seen, in my lifetime or in modern political history any presidential candidate trying to discredit the election and the election process before votes have even taken place.  It’s unprecedented.  It happens to be based on no facts.  Every expert regardless of political party regardless of ideology conservative or liberal who has ever examined these issues in a serious way will tell you that instances of significant voter fraud are not to be found.”  He went on to say, “The larger point that I want to make is there is no serious person out there who would suggest that somehow you could even rig America’s elections.  In part, because they are so decentralized, and the numbers of votes involved.  There is no evidence that has happened in the past or there are incidences in which that will happen this time.”  He chided Trump for whining and suggested he go and try to make his case to get votes. He also said, “…if Mr. Trump got the most votes, then it would be my expectation of Hillary Clinton to offer a gracious concession speech and pledge to work with him in order to make sure that the American people benefit from an effective government.  It would be my job to welcome Mr. Trump, regardless of what he said about me or my differences with him on my opinions, and escort him to the Capitol, in which there would be a peaceful transfer of power.”  Where is Jeff Wilson when we need him – Mr. President YOU LIED!

Immediately after the election and they realized that Donald Trump had won, Obama, Hillary, his justice department and it appears the FBI kicked their efforts into high gear to OUST TRUMP.  Mr. Obama had declared there was no Russian hacking and then after the election to give a semblance of validity to the claims of the Left and the Never Trump Crowd he placed sanctions on Russia, kicked out some diplomats, and began the public appeal to believe there was collusion with Trump and Russian manipulation in the election.  How soon the Left forgets and how convenient their arguments change.

America, if the Democrats win in November and reclaim one or both Houses of Congress there will be articles of impeachment issued against the President, the Tax Reform will be repealed, and there will be things done to entrench Obamacare to the point that we will never be rid of it.  The proverbial Fat Lady will not just be tuning up but will be singing loudly.  Everyone in America will suffer.  There will be a massive attempt to “ban guns” at many levels and for many types of firearms.  They will attempt to force at least one of the conservatives off the Supreme Court and replace them with their preferred Leftist Ideologue.  If that happens, our Founders and the Framers will be turning over in their graves saying, “We Warned You!”

Remember November and let’s Keep America Free so we can Make America Great and Safe again!  God bless you and God bless America is my prayer and desire!

WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT MASS SHOOTINGS???


BLOG POST 1- What Can We Do

Yes, I am wading into this controversial, volatile and a hot-button issue.  I realize that there may be many who will not like what I’m going to say, some will consider it going too far and some not far enough.  Hopefully, I will be able to convey my thoughts rationally, logically, intelligently, and judiciously.  In my statements, I have no desire to target the kids from Parkland, Florida who are becoming the National Mouthpieces for Gun Control.  Those kids, I believe are sincere!  They have been traumatized beyond imagination and deserving of our compassion, empathy, and understanding.  I do believe they are speaking out of fear, their indoctrination by leftist educators, possibly parents, the MSM, activist, and politicians.  That is tragic and my heart breaks for them and their fears, rational or irrational.  They deserve our prayers and love, so they are not my target.

My target is the misguided, fraudulent, and wrong philosophy and ideology that, if allowed to succeed, will perpetuate the problem not resolve it.  Evil cannot be legislated into being good, but the national debate is, once again, attempting to push us down that path.  It is a pathway of failure and fails to address the real problem and will not protect one life and the lives of our children are priceless.  If there was a law that could be enacted that would truly prevent another mass shooting as took place in the in Florida, I would support it.  It is Utopian at best to believe there is and the push for it may be far more sinister and diabolical than anyone imagines.  Stripping Americans of their inalienable rights, such as “self-defense” is a very dangerous path to travel and abridging Liberties and Freedoms usually results in more abridgment and infringement leading to anarchy and tyranny.  WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WOULD DESIRE THAT?

The indoctrination by and of the MSM, Hollywood, Academia, and politicians that the NRA is a ‘terrorist organization’ is not just dangerous it must be met head-on or it will lead to attacks and destruction of anything and everything conservative.  Is that the design?  Not by the kids in Florida or even some of the activist, Hollywood pretenders, or the MSM but it is by those behind the scenes.  I resist chasing that rabbit down its logical trail because I desire to talk about “What We Can Do?”  Possibly the better question is, “Can We Do Anything That Will Prevent More Shootings or Limit Them?”  I believe the answer is, YES!  I do not believe that we can do anything that will TOTALLY PREVENT an evil, deranged person or criminal from committing heinous crimes but if we can limit their ability to engage in their evil, is it not worth discussing?

Let me use a statement frequently used by the Left and Activist to make my point.  They say, “If we can save one life.”  They refuse that argument regarding abortion but then the babies in the womb are non-humans to them and that ideology enables them to desensitize themselves to the horror of that genocide.  Over 50 MILLION babies aborted since the inception of Rowe v Wade, far more lives snuffed out than in all the school or mass shootings in America.  HEAR ME!  I consider the mass shootings as being horrific and do not attempt to pigeon-hole me or stereotype me as uncaring and unfeeling.  I care about ALL LIVES!  That means kids in school, people in the Trade Centers on 9/11, and the unborn babies in the womb, to name a few.  ALL LIVES MATTER!

What Can We Do?  How about installing Metal Detectors in the Schools and make EVERYONE pass through them?  We have them in airports, courtrooms, and even businesses, why not SCHOOLS?  When I first had to go through a Metal Detector at the airport it irritated me and then I thought, “Wait for a second, if this prevents someone from getting on that airplane with a weapon or bomb, how is it bad?”  Yes, it slowed me down and inconvenienced me, and the system is not fool-proof, but it is a step in the right direction.  However, just having Metal Detectors would be “step-one” not the whole defense.  There should be “armed and trained” security guards nearby to deal with anyone attempting to crash that defense with a weapon.  They should have the authority to do what must be done to protect our kids and teachers.  Criminals and terrorist are often cowards and would avoid that scenario of facing a trained officer with a weapon.  The mentally disturbed might not and that is another issue entirely but one we can and must address.  Beyond the Armed Security Guards, I am Pro Arming the teachers who are willing to be armed and are trained to handle a firearm.  Imagine the coach who made himself a human shield being armed and trained to use the firearm.  He might be alive and many of the kids in Florida in class today not in the cemetery.

I went to school in the 50’s and 60’s and many trucks parked on campus had gunracks with a rifle in them and nobody was shooting up the school.  What was different then?  Many things?  We did not have the infestation of ‘snowflake’ mentality and ‘political correctness’ that is prevalent today.  We also had something else and that was DISCIPLINE in the home.  Most of us had two-parent families and our parents believed in discipline and demanded that we follow the rules.  Did we all follow the rules all the time?  OF COURSE NOT, but when we didn’t we not only incurred the penalties of the school and possibly the courts, but we often met the “board of education” at home and were disciplined in some way.

The idea that we can simply PASS A LAW and this problem will go away is beyond comprehension to me.  The failure of the FBI to either take the warnings seriously or the ineptitude of the agents and departments within that agency is stunning.  We need to ensure that communications between ALL Law Enforcement Agencies are strengthened.  We need to ensure that there is a severe penalty for those in various professions including the medical community that fails to give warning of what was apparently, open threats with specificity.  I appreciate patient-doctor and client-attorney privilege but when an act of terrorism is being advanced as a desire or intent, IT CANNOT BE IGNORED.  You may disagree, and I fully comprehend the can of worms we could be opening there, but can’t we discuss the matter rather than politicizing and using a tragedy or crisis to advance political agenda?  The gun, sitting on the shelf kills no one.  The gun in the hands of a person intent on doing evil does, so are we to focus on the implement of destruction or the real cause?  People are killed by cars, prescription drugs, and many other things, shall we ban them as well?  Yes, I’m being sarcastic but only to the point of pleading for sanity and rational thought.

I, along with millions of Americans, am heart-broken over this latest tragedy.  My heart breaks for these kids being used as fronts for the Leftist Agenda.  My heart breaks for the parents and families who have lost a treasured child.  My heart breaks for America and I plead that we do something to make us feel “warm and fuzzy” in enacting legislation that will be meaningless but that we take real steps to finding real solutions to this real problem.

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

 

WHEN THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND…


BLOG POST 1 - Blind Lead the Blind

What happens when that happens?  Well, the Bible says that they both fall in the ditch.  I do not believe it unfair to compare the way the DOJ and FBI have looked at the corruption and criminality on the part of the Obama administration, the Clinton camp and others and the way they have doggedly gone after Trump and his associates with BLINDNESS.  More aptly would be WILLING BLINDNESS and PARTISAN CORRUPTION at the highest levels of those entities, agencies, and arms of government.  Let me be perfectly clear and avow adamantly, “I DO NOT believe that everyone within the DOJ or the FBI are corrupt Democrat political hacks.”  Sadly, many are but I do not lump all of them in the same basket or category.  I support Law Enforcement and want to see my nation restored to her rightful place as the Constitutional Republic guided by the Rule of Law and a distancing ourselves from the moral turpitude apparent today.  Unfortunately, and shamefully, some of those at the top of the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, and other government agencies or bureaucracies are exposing themselves as partisan hacks.  Their partisan nakedness cannot be missed by anyone not blind and even the blind would sense the naked exposure being revealed in D.C.

Former Obama State Department official Jonathan Winer has confessed and confirmed that he passed along a dossier from Clinton operatives to the supposed author of the infamous Trump/Russia dossier.  He received a report from the Clinton campaign and forwarded it to Christopher Steele in the Fall of 2016.  That negates Hillary’s claim that she was Sgt. Schultz and KNEW NOTHING about the dossier.  She knew and she knows but thus far is walking free of investigation or charges of criminality.  I suppose we should have expected that due to the WILLING BLINDNESS of the FBI, DOJ, and State Department regarding her involvement.  They were, apparently, seeking to protect the heir-apparent to the White House and took great steps to do so.  Winer met with Steele in the summer of 2016 and Steele told him that he had learned of “disturbing information” regarding the possible ties between Donald Trump, his campaign, and senior Russian officials.  Winer reviewed Steele’s information and passed it along to the State Department.  Quite noble, right?  Hardly, because he had to know that the information was unverifiable, undocumented, and likely a concoction of the mind of another Trump hater.  He was being a good soldier for the Leftist and seeking any means possible to damage Trump and ensure a victory for Hillary and the Democrats.

Winer then just happened to run across an old friend and long-time Clinton operative, Sidney Blumenthal.  What a wonderful coincidence, right?  I guess, but coincidence and convenience seem to run rampant in the Clinton camp, don’t they?  He and Blumenthal discussed the Steele report and that means that Blumenthal knew about the dossier as early as September 2016.  That would further negate Hillary’s Sgt. Schultz defense that she KNEW NOTHING and only found out about the dossier in January 2017.  Blumenthal then gave Winer notes from a journalist that Winer said he was unfamiliar with.  That journalist was none other than Cody Shearer who is well known by the Clintons and their team.  The Shearer notes supposedly corroborated Steele’s dossier.  Seriously!  Where was the verification?  What sources were used?  Where is the paper trail and documentation?  It is conveniently absent from the notes and information provided.  Winer took Shearer’s dossier, which was more concoction than fact, and passed it along to Steele to incorporate in his work of fiction.  Winer passed on writing the document himself. It is my view that he did so in an attempt to have some shred of plausible denial and engaging in CYA.

Dick Morris, a man that probably knows Bill Clinton as well as anyone on the planet, has characterized Cody Shearer, the man allegedly behind the second Trump/Russia dossier, as one of Clinton’s GO-TO-GUYS for Dirty Tricks.  Hey, why not go to a prolific purveyor of slime and fabrication when the battle get’s hot?  That’s the Clinton modus operandi and the Clinton way!  Morris said, that Shearer was the operative that Hillary ALWAYS used.  Shearer was the operative that harassed and intimidated Clinton’s accuser, Kathleen Wiley and frightened her into silence.  He was the one who produced and peddled the highly suspect story in 1992 that a felon sold illegal drugs to Vice President Dan Quayle.  He also circulated reports of drunken and inappropriate behavior by former Senator John Tower in order to prevent him from becoming the Secretary of Defense.  Shearer has a long history of digging up or manufacturing dirt to be used against any Clinton opponent.

It has been suggested that Hillary choose Fusion GPS to float her accusations against Donald Trump because she needed someone more credible than Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer.  The Clinton camp and the DNC went into action using intermediaries in financing the Steele dossier while working diligently to keep their fingerprints off the work.  They wanted it to appear as intelligence gathering rather than opposition research. Shearer, reportedly, used what can accurately be described as LAUNDERING to ensure that his information had the appearance of coming from clean and legitimate sources rather than simply being political dirty tricks.  Shearer gave his information to Blumenthal who passed it along to the State Department, the Department that Hillary had led.  The State Department, apparently, passed that information along to Steele, who handed it over to the FBI.  What a nice chain of events and so helpful for Hillary and the Democrats, right?  The FBI then used the unsubstantiated dossier to obtain warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to spy on Trump and his team.  They claimed it came from a respected foreign intelligence officer and allowed the State Department and FBI to present a more lasting impression than had they admitted it came from the likes of Shearer or Blumenthal.  Heaven forbid they should be honest in their actions, after all, the Deep State operatives and Swamp denizens must protect their own at all costs, right?

The Grassley-Graham memo confirms a report from Steele that his company received the report from a person in the State Department. The memo also confirms that the Clinton camp funded the Steele dossier and her operatives and associates were contemporaneously funneling the allegations of Christopher Steele to various sources, including the media in leaks.  That is troubling and possibly if not probably criminal.  It is entirely possible that Blumenthal and Shearer developed and wrote the lion’s share of the Steele dossier and used Steele as the intermediary to make it public.  Steele was possibly used to hide the shady and corrupt political dirty dealings of the Democrats and Hillary Clinton.

It is my personal view that if we do not somehow restore SIGHTEDNESS to Congress, the FBI, the DOJ, the State Department, and most other government agencies we will witness the TOTAL DISMANTLING of our system of government.  Is that what Barack Hussein Obama was promising when he vowed to “fundamentally transform” America?  When the Blind lead the Blind in politics and government, they not only fall into the ditch, but they jeopardize our Freedoms and Liberties as a people.  We are nearing the mid-term elections and if we fail to oust the guilty, corrupt, and complicit in these types of cover-ups we will push the Republic to the brink of extinction and endanger our Constitutional Rights, Freedoms, and Liberties.  We must find and elect officials who will HONOR the Constitution, PROTECT and DEFEND it and FOLLOW the Rule of Law.  That is not optional it is mandatory for our survival as a Free Republic.  We must find people who believe in LIMITED GOVERNMENT as opposed to the monstrosity now in existence.  We must find officials who will support and enact LIMITED SPENDING and who will LOWER THE NATIONAL DEBT rather than do what McConnel and Schumer imposed upon us in the name of bipartisanship.  AMERICA, it is up to us to take back our government.  I pray that you remember this in November and between now and then will pray, pray, pray and work, work, work to ensure victory for America in November.

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

 

CARE TO PLAY – What If???


BLOG POST 3 - What If

Neither do I, but for the sake of exposure and examination as we attempt to make sense of the senselessness of today’s political climate of corruption in Washington, D.C., let’s play.  What has transpired, leading up to and in the aftermath of the 2016 Presidential election reveals the depth of the Swamp and the breadth of the Deep State?  The events reveal the depth of cronyism and corruption existing in Congress and the incredible complicity by the courts in the perpetuation of the Globalist-Socialist agenda that is being advanced in America.  The former president, Barack Hussein Obama, kicked the progressive leftist liberal socialist agenda train into high gear and Hillary Clinton was poised to move it to WARP SPEED. Thankfully, she failed to ascend to the throne and we have been afforded a small window of opportunity to turn the tide and restore the republic.  Unfortunately, much of the Republican leadership has been complicit in the stonewalling, foot-dragging, and corruption that has transported us to the point in time and history.

Had the situation in American politics not descended so deeply into the Swamp and the ‘Ole Boy System’ not become so powerful, the Hillary Clinton scandals would have resulted in an indictment and probably jail time for her highness.  In all honesty, it has not been just the FBI, DOJ, Obama administration, and the Democrats in Congress who wanted to protect their chosen one, Republicans participated in a significant manner that allowed her to survive the threat of indictment and imprisonment.  That could change, but it will require a complete change in the leadership of the GOP and the removal of enough Democrats in Congress to become a reality.  WE CAN DO THIS!!!

The Clinton’s have a long history of corruption, bullying, and engaging in political dirty tricks to achieve their ends.  Therefore, while she was in the State Department, why would she change her tactics?  Nothing had stuck to her, to that point, and nothing since, so there would no perceived reason to change.  It appears, that Hillary decided to take definitive steps to HIDE her Pay for Play activities because she believed she had done enough groundwork for ample CYA.  She also believed, correctly, that the Barack Obama, the Democrats in Congress, the Leftist in the FBI hierarchy and DOJ would do that for her.  She was right, and she was wrong, but mostly she was right, they did!  If you follow the trail of Clinton corruption back to Arkansas when Bill was earning a paltry $35,000 per year as governor, she invested a measly $1,000 (crumbs to Nancy Pelosi) in cattle futures and make a staggering $100,000.  Man, I could use some of that good fortune, how about you?  If her trading had been legitimate, the odds of her success would have been something like 1 in 31 TRILLION.  Does anyone smell a rat or a Skunk?  The Clintons trashed and stole things from the White House as they vacated it prior to George W. Bush’s arrival.  What upstanding and honorable people they are, right?  Actions do speak louder than words.

Hillary and Bill maneuvered rules changes in the Democratic Primaries in 2008 to enhance her chances of winning the nomination but the Obama campaign thwarted her efforts and rained on their parade.  Obama, then threw her a bone making her Secretary of State, a high-profile cabinet position that would allow her to lay the groundwork for the 2016 elections.  Hillary used her position as Secretary of State effectively for her personal benefit and purposes but to the detriment of America and the American people.  Almost no one trusts Hillary and most people do not like her, even those who voted for her.  Most people see through the veneer and phoniness and know that she has no basis for relating to the average citizen.  Amazingly, millions still pull the lever for the Democrat regardless of who that Democrat might be.

Barack Obama, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, and others, in my view, worked conspiratorially to give Hillary the required cover to continue her campaign and the expected ascent to the White House.  The documented evidence revealed, thus far, indicates that Hillary committed numerous federal crimes including the removal of TOP SECRET government documents and records from secure sites.  Her bathroom server failed to meet federal requirements for national security and her gross handling of the 33,000 “yoga and wedding dress” emails (as she called them) should have resulted in an immediate empaneling of a federal grand jury.  Months BEFORE the investigation was concluded and possibly even began the FIX WAS IN.  Before she was interviewed by the FBI the exoneration had been written.  Lying to the FBI (under oath or not) is a crime and Hillary lied.  I must ask, “Where is the perjury charge against her, as is the case of General Michael Flynn?” 

Someone asked, “What if James Comey had been honest?”  WOW!  That is a great question.  If he had been, Hillary would have been forced to suspend her campaign, possibly step down as the Democratic candidate, been faced with testifying before a Grand Jury, and would likely have been indicted for her crimes.  Comey would have also been making inquiries into the involvement of Barack Obama and his administration including the Attorney General and the Department of Justice.  He was not honest, and he did none of those things.  Had that happened, it is quite possible that Joe Biden would have been offered by the Democrats as an alternate candidate and I am quite concerned that he might have won.  So, in one sense I’m glad Hillary was the candidate and in another, I’m appalled that there has been such a miscarriage of justice.

I’ve not touched on the Democrats in Congress led by Senator Chuck Schumer and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. Their RESISTANCE is doing incredible damage to America, furthering the distrust and divisiveness existing in this nation, and if successful, will result in the completion of the “fundamental transformation” proposed by Barack Obama.  WE MUST NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!  Patriots – WE CAN DO THIS!!!

In some ways, President Trump’s hands are tied. Public opinion, if not legal statutes require him to walk softly in some areas and let things play out.  His propensity to “shoot from the lip” will continue to be used as cannon fodder by the Left and I pray that he will, at times, use restraint.  NO, I do not want him to totally abandon his use of Twitter and his in-your-face response to some antics and allegations.  The ‘kowtowing’ of the Republicans have allowed the Democrats to bully them into conceding too frequently.  The Left has no clue how to handle someone who does not quake in their boots when the Leftist dogs bark.  It is my view that the onus is on WE THE PEOPLE to take the appropriate action, put enough pressure on the politicians that we move the needle toward the fulfillment of the campaign promises made in the 2016 elections.  DRAIN THE SWAMP is a rallying cry but we must focus on REMOVING THE RINO’s and EVICTING THE DEMOCRAT LEFTIST SQUATTERS from our inheritance, which is the Republic known as the United States of America.  Patriots – WE CAN DO THIS!!!

God bless you and God bless America!

 

WITH ALL THE EXPOSED CORRUPTION – A Vital Issue Goes Unattended…


BLOG POST 1 - DC Crime Scene

I desire, want and demand a full and complete investigation of the corruption in Washington, D.C. in all spheres, aspects, and entities of government.  I am perfectly willing to let the chips fall where they may.  I believe that is the only avenue by which we can reclaim, restore, and reignite the government our Farmers and Founders envisioned and established.  The Republican Democracy of Representative Government has proven to be the best system of government to ensure the inalienable rights, liberties, and freedoms of mankind.  Sorry, Prime Minister Trudeau, I use the term “mankind” not “people-kind” because I do not deem that term sexist but simply referring to the species of the human race and human family.

One of the greatest crimes in modern history, in my view, has not been the scandals of the Obama administration, the Clinton camp, the FBI, the DOJ, or any other governmental agency.  I am not suggesting that those are not incredibly serious and deserving of investigation and jail time for many of the participants.  Congress, in my view, has committed a crime that is off the charts in its importance, gravity, and impact upon our Constitutional Republic and the ability of American’s to PURSUE the American dream and enjoy our liberties and freedoms to which we are entitled.

Do I have your attention yet?  I HOPE SO but realize that some will possibly disagree with my assertions and disagree with the level to which ascribe the Congressional crime of which I speak.  What am I talking about?  THE NATIONAL DEBT and SPENDING!  It is or should be at the top of the list of clear and present dangers for the Republic and our continued existence.  The amount of IOU’s held by nations such as Communist China hold is staggering.  The politicians over many decades have hocked America’s future up to the eyeballs and many seem to treat this as inconsequential and believe it is simply PAPER not REALITY.  It is very real and incredibly ominous, yet congress after congress and president after president allows it to continue.  We see the DEBT CEILING being raised on a regular basis, the entitlement spending and non-discretionary spending continues to skyrocket with little or no cuts in spending.  That should keep you awake at night, but as long as people are not directly and personally impacted they ignore the issue.

Our National Debt is over $20 TRILLION and that is staggering!  The National Debt is comprised of two categories:  Intragovernmental Holdings and Debt Held by the Public.  We owe Communist China a whopping $1.3 TRILLION or about 19% of the total National Debt.  THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE and DANGEROUS!  It may not trouble you, but it disturbs me to the core of my being.  If China were to call in all the debt at once the U.S. dollar would collapse and the economy of the entire world turned upside down.  That is possibly the only true hedge we have against China calling in the debt and wrecking our economy.  If China were to take those steps to destroy America, they would do grave damage to their own economy.  However, they still have incredible ability and power to manipulate us in many ways due to the debt.  It is hardly mentioned but we owe Japan more than $1.1 MILLION and other countries hold $3.8 TRILLION of our debt.  The foreign involvement in our debt is troubling but that is not the total story.

You may or may not be aware but about $12.9 TRILLION of our National Debt is owned by Americans.  That’s good, you might say, but is it?  Our politicians, especially since Lyndon B. Johnson have been borrowing or stealing from Peter to pay Paul and destroying us.  Our Social Security Trust Fund owns about $5.1 TRILLION of the debt.  That is absurd because the politicians have no intent or interest in every paying that back, so it is theft by the government from the monies you and I paid into the system to fund their agendas and entitlements.  That is troubling on so many levels I shudder to think of it.  That fact is the major reason the Social Security program is in the dire straits it is in.  Politicians have effectively stolen from our Piggy Bank and stuffed it full of IOU’s they know they can never and will never repay.  Over $5 TRILLION is owed to individuals, pensions funds, and state and local governments.  That is problematic on many fronts but ignored by politicians and citizens.  We are, in a very real sense, bankrupt and operating in a money shuffling scheme which is a very real Ponzi Scheme that amounts to legalized theft by the federal government.  That is why the politicians of both parties are more than willing to listen to the call for MORE AND MORE TAXES.  They want to continue their “gravy train” that empowers them to do advance their agendas where they SPEND, SPEND, and SPEND and that requires TAXES, TAXES, and MORE TAXES.

I have only touched the tip of the iceberg this enormous problem represents but if you will allow me to go to the Bible and also insert some of the views of our Founders and Framers on DEBT.  I a very real sense DEBT is SERVITUDE.  Proverbs 22:7 warns that “the borrower is servant to the lender.”  I would argue that Freedom and Liberty are diminished in direct proportion to the debt owed.  WHY?  Because debt reduces the options the debtor has with regard to what he/she does with what he earns.  The greater the debt the fewer the options available because the debt must be serviced (paid) otherwise bankruptcy results and the loss of everything or most things transpires.  In Deuteronomy 15:6 God issued a commandment to the nation of Israel that we would do well to heed in America.  He said, “for the Lord, your God will bless you as He has promised you, and you will lend to many nations, BUT YOU WILL NOT BORROW; and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.”  [Emphasis Mine].  The lender rules over the borrower.

Thomas Jefferson was adamant in his opposition to debt.  He said, “To preserve their [the people’s] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.  We must make our election [choice] between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.”  WHAT HAVE WE DONE TODAY?  We have allowed the politicians to place us in the servitude of debt nationally and that limits our liberties and freedoms significantly.  Jefferson also warned of the excesses in federal spending saying, “The forehorse [leader] of this frightful team is public debt.   Taxation follows, that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.”  That was prophetic and a warning we failed to heed and once you dance you must pay the fiddler.  He also argued, “I… place economy [frugality] among the first and the most important republican virtues and public debt the greatest dangers to be feared.”  I AGREE!

Jefferson was not alone, Alexander Hamilton also warned, “Nothing can more interest the national…prosperity than…extinguishing the present debt to avoid as much as possible the incurring any new debt!  Establish that a government may decline a provision for its debts, though able to make it, and you overthrow all public morality, you unhinge all the principles that must preserve the limits of free constitutions, you have anarchy, despotism, or whatever you please, but you have no just or regular government.”  WOW!  Our First President and the Father of our Country, George Washington agreed completely saying, “The progressive accumulation of debt…ultimately endangers all governments.  No pecuniary [monetary] consideration is more urgent than the regular redemption and discharge of public debt.”  NOT IN THE MINDS OF MODERN POLITICIANS and those on the dole.  Jefferson also said powerfully, “I am for…applying all the possible savings of the public revenue to the discharge of the national debt.  But if the debt should once more be swelled to a formidable size, its entire discharge will be despaired of and we shall be committed to the English career of debt, corruption, and rottenness, closing with revolution.  The discharge of debt, therefore, is vital to the destinies of our government.”  WHERE ARE WE TODAY?  We are one step from realizing the fulfillment of those warnings and experiencing the total collapse of our economy and the disruption of our government, resulting in anarchy and tyrannical despotism.  THIS IS, in my view, A TREASONOUS CRIME that is being perpetuated by elected officials against our Republic.  IT MUST BE ADDRESSED and STOPPED!

Yes, there are many serious scandals and corruption in Washington and most of them can be directly or indirectly connected to money.  Money connects them to the National Debt and the thirst for power by the political elitist of today.  When you vote in November think about the National Debt and ask your candidate his/her views on the Debt.  IT IS IMPORTANT!

God bless you and God bless America!
