RELEASE THE MEMO – – Yes or No???


BLOG POST 1 - RELEASE THE MEMO

That’s the question before Congress, the Department of Justice, the Courts, the Media, and America.  My opinion is counter to many in Congress, the DOJ’s assertion, the Media, and should it get to the courts, I will probably be in the minority side of the issue, or on the side other than those groups.  What is my position?  RELEASE THE MEMO and let the chips fall where they may.  No, I do not want to do anything that jeopardizes our National Security but sometimes it seems that is an easy out for those in power to keep us in the dark.  If their concern is legitimate that would be a justifiable reason to delay or withhold the memo, but if it is to protect the Deep State, the Swamp Denizens, and the Establishment, my reaction is, GET OUT OF THE WAY and let the America people make the final decision!

I am not surprised that the Obama holdovers in the Department of Justice would desire to protect James Comey, Robert Mueller, the various FBI agents in question, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the many bureaucrats being brought into question.  They have had no problem tainting Donald Trump in an attempt to overturn the legitimate election of 2016 or damage his presidency to the point that he would resign or become politically impotent.  There is growing indication that there is and has been a “Secret Society” within the FBI and other governmental agencies, and in the hierarchy of the intelligence community with the singular intent of destroying Donald J. Trump.  They wanted and want more than simply stopping him they want his head on a platter.  THAT DEMANDS or should that the Memo to be released for public consumption and allow the American citizens to see and decide for themselves what has happened and what is happening.  THE MEMO is being rewritten or a separate memo being devised by the Democrats in an attempt to put their spin and slant on the evidence so as to taint the view of the uninformed and non-thinking followers of their agenda.  They want to counter the factual evidence contained in that document attempting to make it meaningless.  It would not surprise me for the Democrats to leak their version to the media trying to mitigate the damage the real memo would do to their agenda and phony investigation of Russian collusion.  THAT IS DISGUSTING POLITICS but seems to be the norm today and is a present reality that we must face and should expect.  If the Republicans allow them to achieve that objective before releasing the real memo to the public, they will do incredible damage to the Republic.

I find it reprehensible that Senator Diane Feinstein would be allowed to release the testimony of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, blaming a head cold for her action.  However, it somehow requires a vote of the House Intelligence Committee to approve releasing a memo detailing the FBI and DOJ’s collusion to overthrow the President of the United States of America.  THEY COMMITTED TREASON if those allegations are true and should be held accountable. Keeping the public in the dark is unacceptable but that is the objective of the Leftist and allowing the Left to do anything they want with impunity.  THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE!  No one should be above the Law, Democrat or Republican.  AMERICA, WE MUST DEMAND THE MEMO’S RELEASE IMMEDIATELY!  Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) is so closed minded that he is completely unable to see the truth even if it were to bite him in the behind.  He believes or seems to believe that the public is TOO STUPID to read and understand the memo.  Congressman, I’ll stack my cognitive skills against yours any day and so will most Americans.  He knows that if the public reads the memo there will be a groundswell demanding an immediate investigation and will destroy the leftist plot to overturn the 2016 election and the attempt to oust a sitting president.  Congressman Schiff is so blindly partisan he will never acknowledge the truth and only acknowledge the Democrat talking points on any given issue.  He is the congressman who accused the Committee Chair, Devin Nunes of conspiracy with Donald Trump and dove so deeply into the gutter of political feces that he accused the CIA contractors in Benghazi who was fighting the Islamist LIARS and suggested they were simply setting the stage to sell books.  THAT IS MORE THAN DISGUSTING!  It demands a swift and clear response from all Americans and he deserves to be shown the door.  He defended Hillary Clinton in her involvement with Uranium One where she gave or sold 20% of our uranium reserves to the Russians.  SO MUCH FOR BEING NON-PARTISAN and IMPARTIAL.  Congressman Schiff is not objective and clearly partisan to the point of being willingly blind to the truth and the facts.

The claim by the FBI and the DOJ that 5 months of texts between Peter Strozk and Lisa Page, the FBI clandestine lovers was missing due to a technological glitch is a disturbing attempt to hide evidence.  Those texts were discovered missing after it was revealed that they sought an “Insurance Policy” against Donald Trump were he to be elected president.  I realize that Jeff Sessions cannot control every aspect of the DOJ, but he can and should control this.  It is my call for the Attorney General to immediately produce those texts and pursue any potential prosecution of the guilty.  They are producing some of them, but we need to see all of them or all of them need to be fully vetted and investigated.  The willingness to cover the tracts of those involved is more than a little disturbing and quite revealing.  It appears that the former British spy, Christopher Steele may have lied to the FBI during his interviews.  WHERE IS THE CALL FOR INDICTMENT?  But his lying to the FBI seems to be meaningless to the Left but if anyone on the Right lies intentionally or unintentionally they are to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.  It is easy and convenient to claim that a technological glitch caused the loss of the texts and emails but when it involves such a critical time period it is suspect.  The FBI is engaged in classic CYA and so is the DOJ and so are others in DC.  The Democrats do not want you and me to see what is in the Memo because they still hope to fabricate something that will allow them to remove Donald Trump from office or at least lay the groundwork to defeat him in 2020 and defeat the Republicans in the 2018 elections.  THEIR ONLY HOPE is that evidence allegedly contained in the memo remains secret and shielded from public view.  If they are exposed, they lose their cesspool from which they keep dipping to fan the flames in their diabolical and destructive efforts.

There is Growing Evidence that a massive scandal is brewing within the FBI surrounding James Comey, Robert Mueller, Peter Strozk, and others. I remember the argument during the “bank bailouts” that some were too big to fail and fear this is the same mentality regarding the corruption at the top of the FBI.  If the reports are true that there is within the FBI a “Secret Society” as is referenced in reports of talks between FBI agents, it demands immediate investigation and action!  The cabal dedicated to defeating Donald Trump in the 2016 election and protecting Hillary Clinton in her email fiasco is real.  If that is true and can be documented, it would so discredit the FBI that a thorough and complete revamping with a massive house cleaning would be required for it to survive as a viable law enforcement arm of the government.  This type of scandal has the potential of opening a Pandora’s Box of problems and could facilitate the overturning of many cases developed by the FBI.  The corruption by the ideologues at the top endangers America and must be addressed.  That is even more reason for a RELEASE THE MEMO UPRISING to transpire.  I encourage you to call, text, email, and write to your elected officials and insist that they RELEASE THE MEMO.  If there is nothing to it, we will see that but if it is as damaging as some have suggested we need to see that as well.  If you agree, please contact your Congressman/woman and Senators.  If you disagree, then dismiss what I’ve said and do nothing. The decision is entirely yours and you have a legitimate right to your opinion.

God bless you and God bless America!

 

 

 

AMERICAN CITIZENS or AMERICANS???


BLOG POST 3 - American

Some would say, “What is the difference?”  I contend that there should be no difference but considering what has transpired over the past few decades, there is a vast difference.  The continued devaluing of America and American citizenship by the liberal leftist progressive Democrats is an attempt to fulfill Barack Obama’s pledge to “fundamentally transform” America.  That transformation was to reduce America from sovereign nation status to citizens of the world.  How a person with such a perverted and distorted view of America, our history, and purpose became President is beyond my ability to fully comprehend.  I know how it happened, I have difficulty with why it happened.

There are hundreds of thousands of immigrants who come to this country with the desire to become AMERICANS and citizens of this great nation.  They want to embrace American culture and assimilate into our society and become productive members advancing their state as well as benefiting the nation by their contributions on every level.  However, there are those who are legal citizens who have no such desire and those who want to become citizens not to advance the cause of America but to tear her down.  THAT IS REPULSIVE TO ME!  It violates everything that America was founded to be and has been for over 200 years.  Sadly, there is an incessant attempt by the Left to erase our borders and throw the doors open to all who would come to this nation.  They hold the view that we are all citizens of the world and there is no value in American citizenship.  They would remove the restriction that you must be a citizen to vote in our elections.  They would make us amenable to and fully under the oversight and governance of the world body known as the United Nations.  They would either totally remove our Constitution or so rewrite and reinterpret it that it is meaningless in guiding the Democratic Republic that operates as a Representative Democracy of self-governance.  They, for the most part, do not believe we are capable of governing ourselves and therefore they must decide for us what rights, liberties, freedoms, and ideologies are acceptable.  THAT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!

If you were to attend an Immigration and Naturalization Citizenship ceremony you will find that the vast majority of those taking the citizenship oath have no desire to run to the nearest welfare office and sign up for freebies.  They came here with a dream and are willing to work tirelessly to make that dream come true.  They might be willing to receive a hand-up, but they have no desire for a handout.  Barack Obama’s drive to devalue American Citizenship resulted in exempting citizenship applicants from a major part of the Oath of Allegiance.  They no longer have to pledge to DEFEND OUR COUNTRY.  Did you hear me?  Why would we accept anyone unwilling to defend our Constitution and the Republic?  Why would we accept anyone who demonstrates and avows a stronger allegiance to another country than this nation?  WHY?  Because of the continued devaluation of American Citizenship by the Leftists of this nation.

In allowing tens of thousands or millions of illegals and unvetted refugees free passage over our borders we are endangering the Republic, legal American citizens, our economy, and our way of life.  Former President Barack Obama literally gave away American citizenship and if something is free it has little to no value.  The illegals are not citizens and should have no access to the benefits afforded citizens, they do.  That was part and parcel of the Obama “transformation”.  They now receive free attorneys, college tuition, welfare checks, abortions, food stamps, and more.  They supposedly do not vote but we have frequently found evidence that they did, often with impunity.  When I hear a politician speak against a strong immigration and secure border policy saying, “This is not what we are as Americans” I cringe.  IT IS WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT AS A REPUBLIC!  If you do not value your sovereignty as a nation no one else will and you will soon be sucked into the black hole of meaninglessness as a society and under the thumb of some despot or oligarchy.

The Left desires and believes they should control every aspect of our lives and they are working diligently toward that objective.  The Entitlement and Amnesty ideological stances of the Left so erode America as a Free Republic it is frightening.  They chide us about “fairness” and “compassion”.  They celebrate those who have developed a lifestyle of entitlements and teach them how to stay on the dole generationally.  They devalue the Bible, the Family, the American ideal of Earning, and wage war on those of us who stand against those destructive views.  I believe the Bible and when it says that if a person WOULD NOT WORK they SHOULD NOT EAT I believe that is the right direction for us to take.  WHY?  Because if you make it easy for a person to remain in poverty they will do less and less for themselves and become more self-centered and self-serving expecting everything to be provided for them.  They will hate those who work and have rather than seeing the way out of their state.  They become lazy losing all drive, desire, pride, and self-respect and become slaves to the Leftists who are responsible for getting them their monthly check.  They sell their souls for money and that is prostitution, of the worst kind.

How would you feel if someone broke into your home uninvited, took food from your refrigerator or pantry, turned on your television, sit on your sofa and propped their feet up on your coffee table?  How would you feel if they occupied your home and expected or demanded that you provide for them while they provided nothing?  How would you feel if when you complained of a home invasion, the police, media, and government called you a racist, a hater, a Xenophobe, a misogynist, and more vile names?  How would you feel if the government, taxed you excessively in order to enable those invaders to occupy your home?  WELL, that’s how we feel about the illegals flooding across our borders and thumbing their noses at our laws and system of government.

You may despise Donald J. Trump, the current president of these United States, and hate his immigration policy, but I applaud it.  I applaud raising the bar for citizenship and access to America.  I applaud vetting those desiring to come and screening out as many undesirables as possible.  By undesirables, I mean those who want to do harm to America or Americans, and those who want to come to drink at the Entitlement Trough and become a parasite rather than a productive member of society.  Call me whatever you please but only Legal Immigration should be allowed and ANYONE coming Illegally should be shown the door.  America can only remain the Free Constitutional Republic so long as her citizens protect and defend the American Constitution and demand that our government follows the Rule of Law.  If we lose our Sovereignty we lose our Republic!  I am not against Immigration, I am against Illegal Immigration or any Immigration that does not include Assimilation.

God bless you and God bless America!

 

THE INSANITY OF TODAY’S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS…


BLOG POST 2 - PC

I said to my brother, recently and to others that I am concerned that America, or much of it, has lost its collective mind.  The Political Correctness and the incessant fanning the flames of hatred making everything racist, or phobic is destroying us.  I may be wrong, it may not be destroying but may have already destroyed us as the Free Constitutional Republic that was founded on some principles vital to the survival of any nation or people.  I hope that is not the case but virtually every day, I am confronted with something new that reveals just how far down the path of destruction we have gone.  Those promoting Political Correctness and fanning the flames of Hate seem to believe that MISERY is the new normal and that since they are miserable everyone should be.

I am going to walk through a few things that you are undoubtedly aware of, state my views and beliefs knowing that some will applaud, and some will begin boiling the tar and searching for the feathers or worse.  Dale Carnegie’s book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People” would argue that I should not do what I am about to do, but WHAT I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE.  It is my right, as what you believe is yours.  I believe that too often “silence is consent” or deemed to be so, and if I were to remain silent some might mistake that as agreement and my Faith in God and Love for America are too great to allow that.  So, whether after you read what I write you love me or hate me, is almost inconsequential to exposing the lies and advancing the truth.  I hope what I say resonates with you.

Recently two professors from San Diego State University published a new book in which they argue that the “Farmer’s Markets” in the Urban areas are weed-like “White Spaces” and responsible for oppression.  I AM NOT KIDDING!  Pascale Jossart-Marcelli and Fernando J Bosco are authors of a book released this month entitled, “Just Green Enough.”  They argue that there is a direct connection between the “Whiteness of Farmer’s Markets” and “Gentrification.”  Imagine that!  Food is now Racist!  The amazing thing is that their argument is that “Farmer’s Markets” cater to “households from higher socio-economic backgrounds.”  How’s that for stereotyping non-whites?  I didn’t do it these two geniuses, or should I say race baiters did.  There is much more that could be said about this, but I hope you see the ridiculousness of it and possibly do as I did and scratch your head and wonder.  WHAT???

One of the most prestigious liberal arts colleges in America, Swarthmore College is now advancing what they call a “Queer Theology” which, as is reported is designed to ‘destabilize traditional beliefs’ about what the Bible says about gender and sexuality.  The course being offered is “Queering the Bible” and “Queering God.”  This college founded by the Quakers has gone bonkers, in my view.  The Bible makes no bones about God’s view of gender and sexuality.  There are numerous Old and New Testament Passage that addresses His view of “same-sex relationships”.  You can call me whatever you wish, but I believe that God was quite capable of saying what He meant and guiding the translators throughout history to get it right.  One of their stated objectives is to “sanitize and neutralize the prohibitions on homosexual acts that the Bible unequivocally condemns.”  Wow!    Prostituting Scripture is not new, and I find this so outlandish that I am stunned that it is happening.  I should not be for the Bible clearly tells us that in the last days, people will give heed to seducing spirits and believe doctrines of devils.  Just as with “sex changes” I would hate to stand before God and try to explain why I decided to alter His word and make Him Queer.  I wonder if that college will also develop courses on “Queering Mohammed” and “Queering the Koran.”  I suspect the answer is no for those are not deemed their enemies, but the Bible and traditional Christianity is.  When you destroy the moral foundation of a society you can transform it into something very different.  Our Constitution and Laws require a certain element of morality to survive and thrive.

A Boston University theater professor launched an assault on one of the most well-known Christmas carols in the world and calls it racist.  What is the carol?  JINGLE BELLS.  He argued that it was initially designed to make fun of non-whites, especially blacks.  Could he be right?  Yes, but methinks he makes much ado about nothing in an attempt to taint Christmas and the festive spirit of all races of people who participate.  This, in my view, is another of the many pieces of evidence that those on the Left are so filled with HATE and MISERY they truly believe that everything is Racist, Homophobic, Islamophobic, Gender-phobic or something of that sort.  They believe they are mandated to force EVERYONE to comply with their view and demand TOLERANCE from others but offer no Tolerance.

As I watched the Democrats react to the Tax Reform Bill and everything else that this Administration and the GOP attempt to advance, I concluded there is something sinister in their actions, rhetoric, and diatribe.  They are either so miserable themselves they believe that everyone else is or they have a diabolical scheme to make everyone as miserable as possible so they can appear the Champions of Whatever Cause a group, voting bloc, or sect advances.  It reminds me of Absalom in the Bible when he would go into the gathering places and suggest to everyone, “If I were King, you’d get justice and what you need.”  His inference was that his father David was inept and uncaring, but he was both capable and caring.  He turned the hearts of people, mostly those who were seeking self-gratification.  Politicians have an ability to sound as though they are in our corner and fighting for us while they are placing us in political and economic chains, stripping us of our Freedoms and Rights, and building their own empires.  Most do not realize what has happened until it is too late and some refuse to believe the truth.

That is why I say, I fear that America, much of it, has lost its collective mind and we are losing if we have not lost the Republic.  I refuse to believe that it is lost because I believe that if we Pray, Seek God’s Face, Repent, of our Sins, and Return to our Founding Principles there is HOPE.  I believe that if we will unite and evict enough of the Establishment Politicians from office we can change the culture of Washington, D.C. and advance the cause of Liberty and Freedom.  IT WILL NOT BE EASY, and IT WILL NOT BE QUICK, but IT IS POSSIBLE!  I hope that whether you agree with my views on the various issues I raised you will agree that America is a Prize worth, Fighting For.  I hope you will agree that WE MUST NOT GIVE UP or GIVE IN and we must Work, Pray, and Vote.

God bless you and God bless America!

WHY I STILL HAVE HOPE…


BLOG POST 1 - Hope

My heart has been heavy over this past year because of the over-the-top diatribe, rhetoric, protests, incessant wrangling and partisan jockeying to hurt, remove or destroy the duly elected President of these United States.  Couple that with the activities or lack of support by the Establishment Republicans and the Never Trump crowd, we have seen a golden opportunity slip through our fingers.  I and many others warned after the election in 2016 that we had a very small window of opportunity given us.  That opportunity was to restore and reclaim our Constitutional Republic, rekindle the Spirit of 1776 advancing the cause of Constitutional Liberty and Freedom, jumpstarting the economy, securing the border, and reestablishing America at the forefront of world policies and politics.  There is a country song by Dierks Bentley, “What Was I Thinkin’” and I often wonder what the Republicans have been thinking?  I have wondered and still do, what they perceive is the benefit of being weights against the progress of the conservative agenda that enabled Donald J. Trump to win the Presidency and the Republicans to maintain control of both Houses of Congress?  I would like to confront each of them and ask, “What Are You Thinking?”  Better yet, “Why Aren’t You Thinking?”

That being said, I STILL HAVE HOPE for America!  NO, I do not think we will successfully drain the Swamp or dismantle the Deep State during President Trump’s first term in office.  There are too many so-called Republicans who claim to embrace the principles of constitutionalism and conservativism who have been and will continue to resist.  What are they thinking?  Do they honestly believe that all their constituents are so blind, dumb, and lazy that we cannot see what is happening and recognize the MISSED OPPORTUNITIES?  I do believe the answer to that is, YES!  They have been successful at the polls enough they believe that we will forgive and forget, or we will never truly understand the damage they are doing and the squandering of opportunities.  HEY, CONGRESS – We are waking up!

Someone asked me, “Roy do you believe it is your assignment to save the world?”  I wish I could, but NO I believe that it is my assignment to INFORM as many people as I can regarding what is happening in politics and life and point them to a BETTER WAY.  I don’t know how many I have won over effecting a change of mind or heart during the past few years of active involvement on Social Media, and speaking wherever and whenever I can to expose the lies and present the truth politically, economically, and societally.  I have a better handle on those I have influenced positively spiritually and that is far more important to me.  Yet, I hope I have been an encouragement to those who are lovers of Liberty and Freedom and American Patriots.  I hope that I have, at times, armed you with information that enables you to solidify your beliefs and counter the leftist liberal arguments of Progressivism and Socialism.  If I have, then my time has been well spent.  On Facebook, I only go a few days at a time before someone bids me adieu because of some stance I have taken either politically, morally, or biblically.  I don’t always know why they left or who it is that left but my friends list decreases.  I only mention that to say, I take heart in the words of Winston Churchill, “You have enemies?  Good.  That means you’ve stood up for something, in your life.”   Jesus said in Luke 6:26, “Woe to you when all people speak well of you and praise you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.”  He went on to admonish us to do good to those that hate us and that is incredibly difficult to do.  However, He did not say concede to their demands that you follow their ideological view when it is contrary to right and reason.  He prayed and urged us to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”

But why am I still Hopeful?  There are many factors in my HOPE that I wish to mention and know that you will be able to add much more to this list.  I have HOPE because American is a Constitutional Republic.  We are not yet subjected to the whims of a Tyrant or Oligarchy, although the Ole Boy Crowd is trying to force that upon us.  The Courts, although failing at times, still recognize the Constitution as the Law of the Land.  The American people are showing signs of waking up and desiring a return to Constitutionalism in this nation.  We managed to defeat one of the most prolific leftists in modern American history in Hillary Rodham Clinton in November 2016 and maintained control of both Houses of Congress.  The Constitution has provided us a basis of self-government for 241 years, if we use July 4, 1776, as the birthdate of the Republic.  Even Barack Hussein Obama lamented that the Constitution was a document too restrictive on government and that it was a document of “negative liberties.”  He believed as do the leftist that our Rights come from Government, but the Founders and Framers insisted they do not come from man but for the Creator Himself and therefore man has no right to attempt to take them away.  Therefore, providing we can secure the appointment of additional Supreme Court Justices who will honor the Constitution and Rule of Law we will not only survive but thrive and can return to our constitutional and moral moorings that enabled the United States of America to become the great nation she has been for these 200 plus years.

I have HOPE because I believe in God and believe in the power of prayer.  You may vehemently disagree that God’s hand was in the election of 2016 and that is your right, but I believe that the polls were not that wrong UNTIL something changed hearts and minds as they went to the voting booths across this land.  What was that something?  I believe it was God giving America another chance and opening a small window of opportunity for us to RETURN to the Principles upon which this nation was founded and has survived almost 2 ½ centuries.  PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME that I am saying that Donald J. Trump is a saint or even a righteous man.  I don’t know his heart so I will leave that determination to the Lord Himself.  However, I do believe that in his heart of hearts something happened to him to inspire him to run for office with a desire to see America return to her former greatness.  I also believe that during the campaign, based on what I observed and what I’ve heard from some men of God who had direct contact with him, that there was a new or renewed willingness to pursue what is right and needed in America.  He is not the typical political ideologue and therefore his manner of doing things is outside the proverbial politically box.  He is who he is and has always been.  He is a fighter, a businessman, and as most politicians quite egotistical.  I believe that his business background and desire for success affords him the ability to cross political lines to get things done.  He appears more interested in achieving the objective than who he works with to get there.  That can be good and bad depending on the objective and the compromises made.

How can we ignore the incredible rise in the Stock Market, and the willingness to take on difficult issues as well as restoring America’s stance with despots and terrorist to a position of strength?  Again, you may disagree with that assessment, but the judicial appointments encourage me.  However, the inclusion of some Swamp Denizens in his cabinet and the allowing Obama holdovers to remain in various appointive positions is troubling.  I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt and pray that he will do the right thing for America and continue to move us toward a return to Constitutionalism.  If he does that, America will reap the rewards for decades to come.

I have HOPE because I see the opportunity if the GOP Establishment will get out of the way, to solidify the hold on Congress in 2018 and take a giant step in 2020.  It could go bad quickly if the Establishment makes 2018 a carbon copy of 2017 in their resistance to what we voted for and what they promised.  But, I HAVE HOPE that enough people will intercede, become involved in the process, and exercise their Constitutional Right and VOTE for America in every election.

God bless you and God bless America!

THE QUESTION NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO ASK???


BLOG POST 5 - Question Nobody Asks

In today’s politically correct world where the Left continually argue that the millionaires and billionaires are evil, press for redistribution of wealth, and fan the flames of CLASS WARFARE regarding MONEY something is missing, in my view.  When did it become socially, morally, and politically right to take from someone who earned, created, or inherited and give it to someone who did nothing to deserve it?  I have a question for all the HATERS of those who are wealthy, (I am not wealthy or a hater).  If someone is worth $100 today and 3, 5, 10 years later through their entrepreneurial ventures, hard work, or good fortune become worth $100 million how is that wrong and how is it right for you to expect to share in their wealth?

I agree with Thomas Jefferson in his letter to Joseph Milligan dated April 6, 1816, “To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.”  James Madison said it in a different way when he addressed the Virginia Convention, “It is sufficiently obvious, that persons and property are the two great subjects on which Governments are to act; and that the rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted. These rights cannot well be separated. The personal right to acquire property, which is a natural right, gives to property, when acquired, a right to protection, as a social right.”  If you earned it, worked for it, invented something or inherited something IT IS YOURS and NO ONE deserves any portion of it other than what you CHOOSE to share with them.  If they are in your employ they deserve their salary and any agreed upon benefits or bonuses you choose to convey to them, NOTHING MORE.  If your good fortune is to become wealthy that is nothing to me unless an inspiration to try harder, venture and risk more and strive to climb that ladder.  The Bible warns against COVETOUSNESS.  It also addresses GREED, but a greedy heart affects me only as I do business with that individual.

Warren Buffett, reportedly worth over $75 BILLION continues to spin the idea that there is something inherently flawed and possible evil in our Capitalist System while enjoying the benefits of that system.  His rhetoric is a page out of the Leftist Playbook and although he and other MULTI-BILLIONAIRES talk about how mistreated and lacking the rest of society is, few of them are opening their checkbooks to those who are on the lower end of the spectrum.  Some of them do, but the problem is not that the system is flawed it is that some do not invest the time, energy, ideas, and pursue the doors of opportunity to achieve that dream of wealth.  Many complain about some from other parts of the world who immigrate to America becoming wealthy.  On one hand, when the government subsidizes those individuals but not natural born Americans I find that objectionable.  But, when I view the work ethic, the entrepreneurial energy and willingness to risk all that produces success I applaud and sometimes am shamed by the fact that I have not demonstrated the same enterprise.

It is my personal view, and that of our Founders and the Framers of the Constitution that PROPERTY RIGHTS are as important as the other rights.  I wonder how it would be perceived today had the Declaration of Independence used the Lockean formula, “life, liberty, and property” rather than “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?”  That would be a death knell to the Leftist Democrat philosophy and argument that the rich are evil and their ability to engender CLASS HATRED in millions.  Would it have caused or cause people to realize that what one has is theirs and if you do not have it is incumbent on you to either recognize you cannot afford it and deal with that or labor and save to acquire it?  Would it have inspired more to RISK in the arena of economics?  Would it diffuse the Class Hatred?  Had that been the stated philosophy in the Declaration of Independence rather than the inferred philosophy it possibly would have an effect on many today.  That was the view of our Founders and Framers and not until we entered the 20th Century where people adopted a mentality of entitlement and political bribery to secure votes people may have envied the rich but they understood a simple truth, forgotten today.  That truth was that what someone else had was theirs and theirs alone!

In the new TAX REFORM bill passed by Congress and signed into law by the President the political views on both sides of the aisle have allowed it to be flawed.  There are good things in it, but there is bad in it as well.  Take the property tax exemptions being reduced, that is bad not for blue states or red states but PEOPLE.  If you used your money to purchase the property it is yours.  Some Republicans called the deduction a government subsidy.  SERIOUSLY?  I paid taxes on the money used to buy the property and now I must pay taxes on the property and now by paying this tax and not being allowed to deduct it, I am paying more taxes or in a very real sense a second tax on that money.  If we had a flat or fair tax I would find it less offensive to take the mortgage deduction away.  However, when anyone argues it is not fair because everyone cannot afford a mortgage I go back to the arguments of Jefferson and Madison and ask, “Is everyone entitled to a mortgage?”  Are we a Socialist country where the government basically owns everything, and everyone has property equally or are we a Free Enterprise nation where our financial system is capitalism?  Are we obligated to guarantee everyone a home, a job, a car, a cell-phone, the internet, a computer, or even healthcare?  Have we become a nation where what you have or what you have earned is not yours but belongs to the government allowing them to redistribute it to whomever they choose? 

If you become a BILLIONAIRE overnight that affects me ZERO and I will never hate you for being so fortunate.  I will fight against envy for that is biblically and morally wrong.  I may admire you and be inspired by your good fortune or success and listen carefully for opportunity’s knock on my door, but hate you I will not.  No, I do not believe that simply being rich makes one evil.  I do not believe that anyone has the right to demand from another what that person has earned or owns.  It may be morally questionable for them to horde their wealth and ignore the plight of others, but I have no right to demand they SHARE THE WEALTH.  I have the right to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” which would include the right to attempt to climb the ladder of success.  I personally, invested most of my adult life in the gospel ministry and in that have not amassed a lot of this world’s goods.  That is not a complaint because I would not trade my experience and service for the billions of the Warren Buffets of this world.  I know what it is to live from paycheck to paycheck or offering to offering.  I know what it is to pray your vehicle from one destination to another asking for divine help in keeping it intact and running because there was not enough money to replace or repair it.  I know what it is like to make $50 per week and spend $25 every two weeks at the doctor’s office caring for a child.  I know what it is like to be POOR and I know what it is like to have enough to not worry about things like I mentioned.  As the apostle Paul, “I know what it is like to be abased and to abound” but neither is my focus.  If I ENVY you and allow HATE to develop a root of bitterness will develop and I will be affected and others as well.  I, as do most of you, know some wealthy people who are incredibly generous and some who are stingy.  I believe Luke 6:38, “Give, and it will be given to you.  They will pour into your lap a good measure – pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more].  For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.”  What you GIVE you GET.  You reap WHAT you sow, LATER than you sow, and MORE than you sow.  If you have abundance, I praise God for you that He has blessed you so.  If you have lack, I pray to God that He provide your every need according to His riches in Glory in Christ Jesus.  Yes, I connect my faith to my politics and make no apology for it because it has shaped my worldview and life view.

God bless you and God bless America!

 

 

HEY, LEFTISTS, DEMOCRATS, PROGRESSIVES, and LIBERALS, “Please Help Me To Understand…”


BLOG POST 3 - Help Me Understand

First of all, the rhetoric, faux piousness, and being offended by the language or purported language of Donald J. Trump by the left IS A RUSE!  It is their avenue or excuse by which they will continue to RESIST and HARM AMERICA by their unfailing commitment to the Leftist Agenda and Ideology of failed policies.  If any Republicans boycotted or threatened to boycott President Obama’s “State of the Union Address” they were deemed racists, obstructionist, or something sinisterly diabolical was afoot.  However, now there is a growing list of Liberal Leftists Democrats who are proudly proclaiming they are the true patriots of America in their intent to BOYCOTT TRUMP at the State of the Union Address.  How, exactly is that different?  

I had to laugh when Representative Frederica Wilson declared that due to President Trump’s recent racist and incendiary remarks about Haiti and African nations as her reason for boycotting the “State of the Union Address.”  She said, “For the first time since I began serving in the House of Representatives I will not be attending.”  Seriously?  You were elected in 2010 and only served under one other president.  You served under a president who was often blatantly and openly racist and incredibly divisive regarding racial conditions, namely, Barack Hussein Obama.  Your long tenure in the House of Representatives that spanned so many Presidents, right?  She joins other Leftist that include, Representative Maxine Waters, D-California; Representative John Lewis, D-Georgia; and Representative Earl Blumenauer, D-Oregon.  Representative Wilson asked the question that Republicans could have asked regarding her illustrious President Obama, “Why would I take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar?”    Representative Wilson, I’m not sure you’d recognize the truth if it bit you in the behind.

Others are going but going in the fashion of the Hollywood Protesters clad in BLACK.  Representative Jackie Speier, D-California has promised to dress as though in mourning.  Others are bringing guests who have encountered sexual assault or their advocates.  Do you remember the outrage at Representative Joe Wilson, R-South Carolina blurted out “You Lie” during President Obama’s address at the joint session of Congress in 2009 and it cost him his political career?  I’m quite sure that these Democrats will be lauded by the MSM, the Establishment (probably from both sides of the aisle) as courageous patriots and deemed heroes for their protest.

I remember Senator Ted Cruz, Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Antonin Scalia skipping Obama’s final State of the Union Address in 2016 and they were vilified.  I found watching the former President painful because many of the things he said were document fabrications and ran counter to revealed facts and reality.  He could stand with a straight face and lecture all of America on our unforgivable sins while working or appearing to work with those who chant, “Death to America.”  He did more, in my view, to produce irrevocable division in America than Donald Trump could ever do.  Trump’s sin is that he is not a politician, and does not dance to the music of the establishment.  Of course, his mortal sin is that he defeated the heiress-apparent to the Democrat Presidential Throne, Hillary Clinton.  He has done things to force Congress to get off their collective behinds and do their job.  He has taken actions to secure our borders, strengthen our national security, put Americans back to work, and attempted to deal with the Tax issues and Obamacare.  You may call him divisive, but the division is in the Liberal Leftist Democrats who refuse to accept their loss and work with him to govern.  The Leftists in obstructionism being unwilling to cooperate or compromise on anything and they are called patriots.  The Republicans opposing the Leftist agenda are deemed evil obstructionist who hates women, children, the elderly, and any immigrant.

Leftist Democrats, I’m waiting for you to explain to me how your childishness is somehow good for the country.  How have your failed socialistic policies benefitted America? What they have done is provide entitlements to a group of people to ensure they vote for your party without fail?  You have and continue to abuse your office and violate your oath failing to understand that you were elected to serve your constituents and your states?  You promised to “protect and defend” the Constitution of these United States of America, where is that in your continual diatribe, rhetoric, and protests?  How does your vile language filled with hate and sour grapes benefit anyone including your liberal leftist constituents?  You accuse Donald Trump of being a predator and sexual assaulter but defend Bill Clinton as an innocent lamb or in the words of Hillary Clinton, “What difference does it now make?” 

I pray that all Americans will stop the childishness of name-calling and pettiness that is being engaged in not only in Hollywood, the MSM, by activist groups, but in Congress as well.  I pray that we will reach a point that both Democrats and Republicans will set aside their thirst for POWER and CONTROL and consider what is good for America and what will restore that which has been lost, diminished, or tarnished in America.  If you give President Trump a reasonable chance to do what he promised, and he fails, or his policies fail, then vote no on him the next time around.  However, if you find that his policies and promises boost our economy, make dramatic corrections to our Tax Policies, deal with the diabolical law of Obamacare, secures our borders, and strengthens our national security – HOW IS THAT BAD FOR AMERICA?  Those who spend more time parsing every word, phrase and inflection of the President need to realize they are creating a condition for weakening our Republic and System of Government.  Those who seize upon how the First Lady dresses or doesn’t dress, trying to analyze the body language of President Trump, and attempting to explain or define his words often taking them out of context need to realize you are as much the problem as you accuse him of being.

If we truly love America, regardless of which party is in power we must demand that the elected officials follow the rule of law and honor the Constitution.  We must be strong enough and fearless enough that we are willing to VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE if they persist in blatant partisanship and ignore their true duties.  If we did that a few electoral cycles, we could dramatically move toward fixing what is wrong in America.  If we all dropped the racial overtones, forgot skin color, and realized that we are all descendants of Adam and Human Beings we could move toward resolution in a wonderful way.

God bless you and God bless America!

 

HOW TO SURVIVE USING THE SGT. SCHULTZ DEFENSE…


BLOG POST 1 - Sgt Schultz Defense

In the TV series “Hogan’s Heroes” the infamous jovial, dumb, and overweight character Sergeant Schultz repeatedly exercised his best defense included, “I know nothing”, “I see nothing”, “I’m not here” and “I didn’t even get up.”  It was a continual deflecting saying, “I see nothing!  I hear nothing! I know nothing!”  The three proverbial monkeys, “See no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil” come to mind.  That defense kept him from being sent to the Russian front more times than one could count.  It worked in the movies and seems to be the path many on the Left and some on the Right have chosen to employ in today’s political arena.

Sgt. Schultz was designed to play the role of a gullible, dumb POW guard that enabled the American POW’s to conduct espionage and covert activities behind enemy lines.  It was silly but often funny because it was entertainment.  It may be silly but not funny when it is employed by politicians even if they are really that dumb and incompetent.  It is a dire threat to the American Republic and our Constitutional System of Government.  They should not be allowed to get away with it and if they are that dumb, uninformed, inept, and incompetent they should be quickly shown the door and sent back to the private sector where they would do far less damage.

In all the investigations during the past few years, the Leftist including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and their cohorts have repeatedly declared, “I know nothing!”  The MSM then parrots that as a justification even when the evidence is overwhelming that they not only knew but were neck deep in the decisions to engage in whatever the activity was.  The other Democrats chime in and insist that their fearless leaders were simply “in the dark” and some rogue subordinate initiated the action without proper authorization.  However, those subordinates never seem to face indictment or suffer any consequences for their actions.  Even in the IRS scandal some were reassigned, demoted, or as in the case of Lois Lerner given a full pension as she departed.  How’s that for consequences?  If you do the dirty work of a leftist administration, you are punished by being rewarded monetarily and shielded legally and politically.  SOME PUNISHMENT for a rogue operative isn’t it?  Yeah, and the moon is made of green cheese, there are unicorns grazing on the lawns in DC, and pigs are flying overhead.  Hey, if you buy their argument and spin, I would like to offer you some prime ocean front property in Arizona at a ridiculously reduced rate.

Hillary Clinton repeatedly pretended to be Sgt. Schultz or his clone when asked about various things.  She knew nothing or had no idea how anything technologically worked or how anyone could possibly do some of the things her staff did.  Her insulting question when asked about wiping her server clean, “You mean like with a cloth?” should have immediately drawn the ire of every American citizen.  It was an insult to every person with an IQ above 40 and a clear attempt to deflect the question or responsibility.  My statement then and now is that if she is really that dumb, uninformed, and inept she should be under the careful medical supervision and never allowed to run for any public office.  We have enough stupidity in Washington, D.C. without adding that level of DUMB to the mix.

But, in today’s political climate, if you are a Leftist Democrat all you have to do is plead ignorance and you are given a pass.  However, if you are a Conservative or Republican you are expected to KNOW everything.  Of course, everyone remembers, or should, Hillary’s argument regarding the death of our people in Benghazi, “What difference does it make now?”  We dare not forget Nancy Pelosi’s insistence regarding Obamacare, “We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it.”  We had numerous times when former President Barack H. Obama claimed ignorance.  Selective and situational ignorance seems to be a prime defense for members of the Democrat Party and some of the RINO’s.  Ignorance is bliss, the saying goes, and if that is accurate many in Washington, D.C. must be in a constant state of euphoria.  The FBI allowed the claim of ignorance to be a justifier for Hillary and her team regarding her State Department emails on a personal or private server.  Rather than taking the path that you and I would be given where ‘Ignorance is no excuse’ regarding the law, they were exonerated, excused, justified, and deemed honorable citizens fighting for right and freedom.  SERIOUSLY???  Try telling the traffic cop that you did not know the speed limit was 25MPH in that School Zone and you were doing 50 MPH and see if that sways him from writing you a ticket?

If we pattern our lives after the Liberal Leftist Democrats, members of the MSM, some of the FBI, and intelligence community, as well as the Department of Justice and other bureaucracies in Washington we would all be pleading ignorance all the time.  If it worked for us like it works for them we would have no reason for a judicial system because it would be meaningless.  If you were apprehended committing a crime PLEAD IGNORANCE and you are immediately set free.  If you fail to do your job and cost your company truckloads of money or endanger lives simply PLEAD IGNORANCE and you could expect to receive a promotion rather than termination.  In your relationship, you violate the trust of your spouse simply PLEAD IGNORANCE and all is forgiven.  Most of us know that DOES NOT WORK in real life for real people.  You may get away with it once or twice but if you employ that defense repeatedly you will awaken to some severe consequences, as you should.  I cannot imagine PLEADING IGNORANCE with God, He knows everything, but the voters are not god, and many are so blinded by their own lack of knowledge and so oblivious to the facts and reality they TAKE THE BAIT and buy the Sgt. Schultz defense.

So, my friends, if you want to be allowed to do anything you desire, become a Democrat and employ the Sgt. Schultz defense it seems to work famously for the politicians.  I hope you see my tongue firmly pressed against my cheek.  God help us if we continue to allow politicians to PLAY DUMB when cookie crumbs are all over their fingers and the evidence is crystal clear they are being untruthful.  If they are that dumb then let’s get them help so they don’t hurt themselves or anyone else.

God bless you and God bless America!

 

THE SWAMP IS OUT OF CONTROL…


BLOG POST 1A - Bloated Gov

When I say “Swamp” I am including virtually everything in Washington, D.C. and the massive number of federal employees who make six-figure incomes.  We have allowed the federal government to become the behemoth that is going to bankrupt our Republic and fulfill the prophecy of John Adams, “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”  He and our Framers and Founders understood the incredible danger of the governmental experiment they were undertaking and the necessity of WE THE PEOPLE maintaining a tight rein on the government.  WE HAVE FAILED and now it is OUT OF CONTROL.

It should disturb every American citizen to their core to learn that there are tens of thousands of federal employees who earn more money than ANY U.S. Governor.  The government watchdog group “OpenTheBooks” released a 40-page report titled “Mapping the Swamp” and the revelations of both the size and scope of the federal bureaucracy are alarming.  The number of federal employees continues to grow and the rise in the number of those employees earning six-figure income is increasing at an alarming rate.  THAT MUST STOP!

This report revealed that the number of federal employees earning more than $200,000 annually increased by 165% between the fiscal years of 2010 and 2016.  Those making over $150,000 increased by over 60% and the number being paid over $100,000 by 37%.  I would say earning but I’m not sure earning is the proper word and paid is probably a more accurate description.  I’m not sure they EARN anything!  This report indicates that almost 30,000 rank-and-file federal employees received more than $190,823 annually were higher paid than ALL 50 State Governors.  There were, according to this report, 406,960 federal employees being paid six-figure incomes and that amounts to one in five of all federal employees.  NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT, RIGHT???  Amazingly, the minimum wage for federal bureaucrats at 78 departments and independent agencies averaged $100,000 or more. 

In the fiscal year 2016, the USPS and VA employed more than half of the federal employees with the Postal Service employing 32% of all disclosed employees (621,523) and the VA was second (372,614).  The situation is probably worse than what the report indicates because there were a number of federal employees whose salaries were not disclosed.  Imagine that!  The report and others that I have seen clearly reveal that there are many “gaming the system” for personal gain at the expense of the taxpaying public.  The federal government pays its disclosed workforce at the tune of $1 MILLION per minute and more than $500 MILLION per day.  Is there any wonder why they want to TAX, TAX, TAX?  To spend that kind of money, which is a drop in the bucket of what they spend overall you must have an incredible revenue stream.  We could fix the problem, but it would take massive cuts in all departments and agencies of the federal government and restructure the total packages for those in Congress.  I might add, needed cuts and restructuring.  Will it happen?  Not if the Establishment Politicians are in control and Entitlements continue to buy votes.  Federal employees receive 10 paid federal holidays, 13 paid sick days, and 30 vacation days per year.  If each of them took all their allotted time it would cost the taxpayers $22.6 BILLION annually. 

BLOG POST 1 - Bloated Government

The base salary for those in Congress is $174,000 but that is just the beginning.  They have a very large “piggy bank” called their “allowance”.  In the House of Representatives, the members are allowed to spend more than $900,000 on salaries for up to 18 permanent employees.  They receive about $250,000 more for office expenses, including travel, and additional money for the congressional perk known as “franking”.  That is for the mass constituent mail sent out by members of Congress at our expense.  Senators get the same privileges but with a much larger “allowance”.  According to the Congressional Research Service report, the average allocation for the fiscal year 2010 was more than $3.3 MILLION.  The amount they get is connected to the size of their state but at the base, each Senator is given more than $500,000 to hire up to THREE legislative assistants. 

But, it does not stop there, they get lots of office space too both in DC and in their home state and district.  Senators get up to 8,200 square feet of space and there is no restriction on the number of offices they can open in federal buildings in their home states.  This perk also includes furniture for those offices and each Senator gets $40,000 or more for furniture in their home state.  Next, they are allowed to deduct up to $3,000 for expenses outside their home districts or states.  Then, regarding insurance and retirement, it is a Rolls Royce plan.  Forget Cadillac it far exceeds that descriptor.  They can sign up for the same health and life insurance plan as all other federal employees, but it does not stop there.  They are allowed to sign up for a 401(k)-style “Thrift Savings Plan,” a tax-deferred investment with a 5% matching by you and me.  Then, there is social security and a pension plan to boot.  The pension payments and eligibility vary but the members of Congress are eligible for an immediate, full pension at age 62 if they’ve served 5 years or more; they’re eligible at age 50 if they’ve served 20 years, and eligible at any time if they have served 25 years.  They do not have a one retirement plan but have access to three.  Any Senator or Representative elected after 1986 has access to Social Security, a 401(k) program that matches 5% of their contributions up to $17,500 and FERS, which as the name implies covers anyone paid from the federal till.  According to one calculation, an elected official’s FERS accumulation rate is almost double other employees.  NICE!

Their work schedule is such that they could hold down another job and still show up for all the sessions of Congress.  They get up to 239 days per year off.  The Congressional calendar of 2012 indicated there were 126 sessions on the docket which left members of Congress with 239 days off.  The vast majority of their air travel is FREE.  This does not mention the kickbacks, under the table funds, campaign donations, and many other perks that are often if not usually illegal but since it is Congress it is ignored by the rest of Congress.  You do not look your gift horse in the mouth or do you bite the hand that feeds you.

Patriots, if we do not find a way to regain control of this behemoth called the federal government we are driving the final nails in the coffin of the Republic.  The Never Trump Republicans, the Establishment GOP seem to be perfectly willing to cede control of the House and Senate to the Democrats to defeat President Trump.  Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face.  I cannot fathom how they cannot see how this hurts all of us and what would be best for America to FULFILL the campaign promises that got Donald Trump elected in 2016.

I want to say, “God bless America and God bless you” but I think I should say, “God help America and God help each of us who are footing the bill for the Swamp.” 

WE CAN DEFEAT the DEEP STATE AND DRAIN the D.C. SWAMP…


BLOG POST 4 - Deep State Take Down

Will it be easy?  HEAVEN’S NO!  Is it possible?  ABSOLUTELY!  Do we have enough people in elected office to follow through on the requests and recognition of the need to INVESTIGATE the INVESTIGATORS, the Obama administration, Clinton campaign, and the DNC?  Not at this time!  Therefore, it is imperative that we become actively involved in the mid-term elections in 2018 and continue that effort with diligence in the 2020 elections.  Failure to do that will result in more of the same, and probably find the Democrats gaining strength and possibly control of one or both Houses of Congress. THAT MUST NOT HAPPEN!

Do not mistake my insistence that we defeat the Democrats as a glowing endorsement of the GOP, it is not!  We need to oust those who are unwilling to follow the rule of law, protect and defend the Constitution, and advance the agenda of the Promises made to the voters in the 2016 election.  We need to defeat them in the primaries and replace them with truly Constitutional and hopefully Conservative candidates who will have the intestinal fortitude and ethical foundation to DO THE RIGHT THING and move forward into the restoration of our Republic.  IT IS POSSIBLE, but it will not be easy or quick.

I have been disturbed over how many Republicans in Washington, D.C. have praised the integrity, professionalism, and thoroughness of Robert Mueller while failing to decry the obvious partisanship, illegalities, and fishing expeditions his team and the Left have embarked on and engaged in.  Some are now suggesting that the Deep State and Swamp conspiracies against Donald J. Trump are beginning to crumble.  I hope they are correct.  There are some things that encourage me and give me hope there is some validity in their prognostications.

Recently, one of the Republicans who has demonstrated that he is a RINO and has been vocal in his opposition to the President has publicly declared there needs to be an investigation into the biased, unethical, and illegal actions of the FBI against Donald Trump.  He has expressed the need to conduct a criminal investigation into the investigators and expose the truth and prosecute where the evidence supports such prosecution.  That will receive no endorsement from any Democrat and far too many Republicans will back away from that request demonstrating their Establishment allegiance.

The Deep State’s plot to overturn or at least discredit the 2016 election to the point that Donald Trump either resigns or is impeached and removed from office needs examination.  We know that the Clinton campaign funded the dossier and the FBI and Obama administration used that document (filled with absurdities and fabrications) to get warrants to illegally spy on the Trump campaign, General Flynn, and others.  The fact that RINO Lindsey Graham is now demanding a Special Counsel has sent the MSM and the Democrats into damage control mode and the rhetoric and spin is transpiring with a vengeance.  They realize that they must continue the fabrications and get into the minds of enough voters that there might be some validity to their charges and claims or their house of cards comes tumbling down around their ears and they lose big in the upcoming elections.

If enough people sign on to Senator Graham’s call and the truth is published widely enough the witch hunt will bite them in the posterior and any shred of credibility they might hope to have been lost totally.  What do we know factually?  We know that the Democrat Party, Hillary Clinton and even Barack Obama organized and funded the dossier claiming that Donald Trump was a traitor.  That alone should call it into question.  We know that the dossier is chock full of undeniable falsehoods and the FBI has admitted after a year of digging, they cannot verify it.  We know that the dossier was used by the Obama administration to spy on Trump and his aides.  We know that Obama’s team spied on General Flynn during the transition and that the FBI and Robert Mueller used that ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE to trap the General in a lie.

Need we mention each member of the Mueller team and their open allegiance to and support of Hillary Clinton and their illegal activities?  We know that Peter Strzok, the lead FBI investigator launched the original Trump-Russia investigation BEFORE joining Mueller’s team and sought an INSURANCE POLICY against Trump in case he won the election, which he did.  We know the FBI obtained a secret warrant to spy on the Trump campaign and team based on the Clinton funded document which the FBI could not confirm.  We know the FBI is refusing the subpoenas of the House Intelligence Committee to surrender documents detailing how the dossier was used.  We know they are refusing to answer the committee’s questions.  DOES ANYONE SMELL A RAT?

Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein have admitted there is NO EVIDENCE of collusion by Donald Trump, yet the hunt continues. The Democrats and Deep State could not defeat Trump at the voting booth, so they are hell-bent on defeating him through phony charges, unverified accusations, and false information.  They continue to ignore the illegalities of the Clinton team and the Obama administration as well as that of James Comey and others within in our law enforcement, Department of Justice, and intelligence communities.

THE TIME IS NOW, TO INVESTIGATE THE INVESTIGATORS and bring this diabolical attempt to destroy a legitimate election and thereby severely damage our system of government to an end.  WE MUST TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK.  If our elected officials will not respond appropriately, then it is incumbent on you and me to show them the door and send someone to Washington who has the backbone and intestinal fortitude to DO THE JOB!

God bless you and God bless America!

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!
