That is especially true in today’s political climate and the climate of the past decade.  The newest entrant into the fray of hyperbolic suggestions that can result in physical chaos is none other than the Old White Guy, the new hope of the Left, Joe Biden.  That’s right, Joe has suggested that if the Republicans won’t cooperate with the Democrats then the Democrats should engage in a ‘brass-knuckle fight’.  Seriously, Joe? 

Joe Biden was at the ‘Moral Action Congress of Poor People’s Campaign’ in Washington, D.C., and asked by MSNBC’s Joy Reid how he would get past a majority Republican Senate that would be determined to stop everything he suggested.  His answer, even giving him the benefit of the doubt, is problematic for Peace Loving People, or should be. 

Her question was, “How would you get past either a majority Republican Senate in which Mitch McConnell was determined to kill all of these ideas or even a Mitch McConnell in the minority who repeated the consistent filibustering when you were vice president and anything that came from the Obama-Biden administration Mitch McConnell considered dead on arrival?”  That’s the question on the table for POTUS wannabe, Joe Biden.  How did he respond?

I would agree with the assessment of several others who have reported on this, that his initial response was somewhat lucid and reasonable.  But, it went into the tank quickly, because Joe, being Joe, cannot stop with saying something, he has to stick his foot deep in his mouth before he zips the lip.  I’m sure his handlers are beyond frustrated with trying to clean up his messes, but that’s Joe and has always been Joe.  It is often entertaining.

Biden said, “Joy, I know you’re one of the ones who thinks it’s naive to think we have to work together.  The fact of the matter is if we can’t get a consensus, nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive.”  That sounds somewhat logical and reasonable.  But, then Joe offered this little ditty, that called for a “brass knuckle fight.”  Wow!  He said, “If you start off with the notion that there’s nothing you can do, then why don’t you go home then, man? Or let’s start a real physical revolution if you’re talking about it. Because we have to be able to change what we’re doing in our system.”

As much as I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, I find that difficult. I have watched the antics and actions of ANTIFA and other Leftist groups as a result of leading Democrats calling for action including physical violence.  They respond like Pavlov’s dogs to the sound of their leader’s voices and salivate at the opportunity to “do harm” to anyone disagreeing with their position.  Joe may be remembering his early days in Congress where bipartisan agreements were much easier to obtain.  Today, with the smartphone cameras, internet, and the 24/7/365 ranting of the Media for Trump’s head, using hyperbole to convey a point that everybody just needs to do something and find a way to work together is not likely.

Maybe Joe is so out of touch with reality and his own party that he doesn’t think they will take him seriously and engage in physical violence.  How he could think that after the eight years as Vice President under Barack Obama is beyond reason, but maybe he does.  Therefore, even trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, this suggestion is one that should give everyone concern.  The other Democratic hopefuls have largely called for some kind of violence from time to time.  That seems to be the way of the Left of today and it is a very dangerous place to put the Republic. 

Those of us on the Right, the Conservatives, and Constitutionalist can only be pushed so far.  Those of us who prefer peaceful solutions and want to see a reclamation of our Republic that puts the oversight of the government back in the hands of ‘we the people,’ can only be pushed so far.  Those of us who believe in America, and do not want to see it ‘fundamentally transformed’ into a Socialist Tyrannical State can only be pushed so far.  Therefore, when a presidential hopeful suggests this course of action, he is dangerously close to engaging in Sedition and Inciting Riots, Anarchy, and Chaos. 

Trump is repeatedly blamed for doing that. But his supporters do not take to the streets, burn buildings and private property.  They do not beat down the elderly or those holding signs or wearing t-shirts with their message.  Yes, there have been a few attacks against them, but in comparison to the actions of the Left in groups like ANTIFA and others, those are minuscule. 

This kind of rhetoric by Biden and the Democratic Candidates is dangerous and impossible to defend.  Sorry, my benefit of the doubt, just became full doubt and as dumb as I think he is, he is a shrewd politician.  He could not have survived as long as he has without being somewhat astute at his trade and he has enough people around him to inform him of the dangers, I believe he knows.  I believe he is doing this fully aware of the dangers, just like his boss was before him.

God help us if we do not wake up and reject the toxicity of liberalism being advanced by the Left.  God bless you and God bless America!   

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry over the blatant unbounded hypocrisy of today’s political world.  I wish I could say it was all on the Left, but it isn’t.  However, the most flagrant unbounded hypocrisy of the Liberal Leftists Democrats demands a laugh, then a tear, then anger.  It is unbounded!

Yes, I heard the news clips and soundbites of Trump’s interview with Stephanopoulos, the Clinton lapdog, a few weeks ago.  Yes, I heard the innuendos and the scrambling of the GOP to look good in the media.  Yes, I heard the talking heads explain how this is an admission of treason and unprecedented in American history.  Yes, I heard the explanations, the criticisms, and the justifications on both sides of the aisle.  The soundbites and new clips to which I refer are concerning the answer Trump gave the Clinton lapdog’s question about listening to foreign nationals with information on his opponents. 

I knew immediately that his choice of words and explanation, as always, would be distorted, twisted, and spun to make him look like both a dope and a traitor.  He told the truth about what politicians do and would do.  That was their intent, to catch him telling the truth and turn it into distortion. 

I wish he had, and maybe he did, recognize that this was a trap question designed with the loathsome purpose of harming him politically.  I wish he had said, “Well, George what would you have me do?  Would you not want me to evaluate the information and determine if there was anything in it that would be a threat to our national security?  Would you want me to ignore it and immediately hand it off to the FBI, whose track record of late is not very commendable?  If I did that, I might scare off the foreign national and lose any vital information that American needs.”  But, that is an afterthought, not forethought or spur of the moment thought.

Imagine, a politician using any information on their opponent they could find.  Who would do that?  Let me take my tongue out of my cheek so I can type and say, “They All Do That!”  The Steele dossier and Russian hoax were bought and paid for by the Clinton team and the Democrats and now they want to act as though getting outside information is somehow unheard of!  Pardon me while I bust a gut laughing.  That is ridiculous to assert that and make Trump treasonous and engaging in an activity heretofore unseen in American politics, is an insult to my intelligence.

The hypocrisy of the Clinton, Obama, Holder, Lynch, the FBI, the CIA, and dozens of other federal bureaus including the DOJ is astounding.  The problem with what they did, is they have been exposed.  They sought sources from Russia, the U.K., Italy, Australia and who knows where else to dig up dirt on Trump.  They apparently did not care if it was real or fabricated, so long as it was potentially damaging, and they paid for it.  Now, we are paying for it and will pay for decades to come.

I truly believe that those on the Left who are involved in this and other charades of pretended integrity and patriotism think they are smarter than the rest of us.  I won’t argue with their assertion regarding the millions of ‘low information’ followers of their cause.  Those whose only information comes from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Hollywood, the Media, and the politicians on the Left demonstrate either a lack of intelligence or such gross deception they are prime targets.  Those people are easily duped because they want to be duped and want to believe the lie, any lie, that supports their agenda, ideology, and cause.  If it is negative toward Trump, they deem it “Law and Gospel.”  It gets their Gold Seal of approval.

Let me preface what I am going to say with the acknowledgment that I do not approve of all the things this president does.  However, I am very thankful we have a president who is a fighter.  That is so unlike virtually all the previous Republican presidents of my lifetime.  If he gets pushed, he pushes back, and the Left is caught off guard.  In the past, the Democrats and Media would threaten the Republicans with public opinion and insist that they cower in the corner, which they did.  We, the rank-in-file conservatives and constitutionalist were left with our angst and pleading for someone who had a smidgen of intestinal fortitude to step forward. 

What amazes me is that many of those conservatives and constitutionalist who wanted a fighter, turned on the fighter when he stepped into the ring. The liberal left colludes with anyone they deem beneficial to their purposes.  If it helps their cause or has any appearance of helping they collude and sidle up to any foreign national or power to get what they can get. 

The late Ted Kennedy wanted to work with Russian to defeat Reagan.  China contributed millions to Bill Clinton’s campaign illegally.  Pelosi coddled up to Assad in 2007 attempting to defeat the Bush policy in the region.  Biden and Feinstein are virtually owned by the Chinese.  Both Obama and Clinton acolytes are colluding with Iran and China to do harm to Trump.  They are also trying to formulate common ground, against Trump with nations such as Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico.  Damn the breach of our Southern Borders, we must defeat Trump is their mantra!  That is hypocritical at the best and diabolical at the worst!

Sometimes, Trump does things like a Chess Master.  He thinks one or two moves ahead of those willing to take a soundbite and run with it.  Did he take the bait, or did he bait Georgie Porgy?  What Trump has done, once again, has brought to light the hypocrisy of the Democrats and their rabid base.  He has also exposed the RINOs and cowardly in the GOP.  Every time the Democrats and Media insist that the ‘walls are closing in’ on him, he turns the tables on them.  I hope this and the latest twitter war is another of those situations.

Biden is one of the most prolific flip-floppers in American history.  Sanders is a Socialist Communist Plagiarist whose Socialist Bill of Rights is a regurgitation of Stalin’s 1936 Soviet Constitution.  Do you really want either of them as President?  Elizabeth Warren is no better and I have found none of the Democratic seekers worthy of even a momentary consideration.  They are disasters waiting to happen and would damage if not destroy our system of government and our way of life. 

I’ll take Trump over any of them even with his warts and flaws.  I thank God we have a fighter in the White House.  I just wish we had some fighters in the House of Representatives and the Senate.   Come on William Barr and let’s get to the task at hand and expose the corrupt and hold them accountable! 

God bless you and God bless America!

Support who or whom?  The Liberal Leftists Socialist Democrats of the modern era!  I find so many reasons to reject them that it is astounding to me how anyone could vote for them.  Their view of America, Americans, Illegals, our Nation, our National Sovereignty, and our Constitutional and Inalienable Rights are not just dangerous they are diabolical.  Their views scream, to me, that they consider us ignorant, uninformed, and their serfs. 

Constitutionally and biblically, we do not serve them (politicians), they are supposed to be our representatives.  They are supposed to work for and with us, not lord it over us.  They are supposed to follow the same rules, obey the same laws, and temporarily serve in Washington then return to private life.  That is not what is happening on either side of the aisle today.  I am disgusted with politics and politicians and want to see massive changes in Washington and a clear restoration of our Constitutional Republic to its original intent.

But, back to the assertion that I cannot support the Left and my explanation why.  I doubt that I could fully articulate my reasons that would require a book but let me give a few succulent reasons.  I hope you will not think me overly simplistic or overly paranoid in my reasoning.

I believe in and respect the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  I believe that we have certain inalienable rights that come from our Creator, not the government.  I believe in limited government and am totally opposed to viewing the Constitution as an evolving document that morphs with time and public opinion.  It is, in my view, etched in stone and must be altered only through the amendatory process, which is extensive and difficult.  That would require thought to be given to the matter and sufficient time for all arguments from all sides to be placed on the table. 

The Democrats have demonstrated a propensity and have even stated they do not view that document as our guiding principle and precept, but an outdated dinosaur needs to be reinterpreted and rewritten.  There is only one legitimate and constitutional pathway for it to be rewritten. They do not want to endure that process, therefore they abuse it, ignore it, subvert it, skirt it, and proceed as they please.  Sadly, the SCOTUS and lower courts have given their actions legitimacy through rulings even though their actions and the court’s rulings are unconstitutional.  That is frightening!

I believe that “Free Speech” applies to everyone even those I adamantly disagree with.  You can speak your mind and I will defend your right to do so.  I may disagree and fight to keep you from achieving your objective by I will staunchly defend your right to “say it.”  I believe in the “Sanctity of Life”, ALL LIFE!  That includes life in the womb, the unborn baby.  I find it amazing that the Left will acknowledge life when it enhances their ideological and political agenda but deny its existence when it does not.  That hypocrisy prevents me from voting Democrat.  As a Christian, I find it impossible to support abortion and certainly not abortion on demand as is being promoted by the Left.

I believe in the 2^nd Amendment and the right of ‘self-defense’.  I believe in the Castle Doctrine and believe that it is a biblical principle as well as a constitutional one.  I believe in the right of ‘personal property’ and consider my views my personal property as well as the material things I possess.  I find no constitutional or biblical precept that allows the government to confiscate my property for the purpose of benevolence.  Charity is a personal matter, not a governmental one.  I do not believe that people who “will not work” should be given handouts.  I find no basis for forcing taxpayers to provide entitlements, housing, and healthcare for those illegally entering our country.  They are Illegal!

I believe that the United States is a Sovereign Nation and it is imperative that we protect our borders.  A nation without a border is not a nation but a flow-through region or becomes a part of a bordering nation willing to impose its will on people.  I believe that our National Defense is mandatory, and we must, constitutionally, morally, ethically, and biblically “protect and defend” this nation and her citizens.  The greatest producer of peace is strength.  I support our military and want it strong and well-armed.  Those not living under God’s Law and following His principles only respect strength not weakness and if we show ourselves strong we can deter villainous attempts to harm us.

I believe in two genders as created by God.  I believe the DNA and biological makeup of men and women is clear and definable.  The Liberal Leftists of today are attempting to produce a gender-neutral society and with the ‘participation trophy’ mentality of today, whatever one wants is what one is to get.  That is unless it is a biblical or conservative view then it is racist, phobic, and unconstitutional.  NO, it is sound reasoning and another reason I cannot support the Democrats of today!

I believe slavery is wrong and reprehensible and that includes enslavement by the government through entitlements, taxation, and regulations.  I do not believe the world is in danger of self-destruction through man-made climate change or global warming.  I believe that the God who created this world and universe knew, from the beginning, what we would do and achieve.  I believe He is well in control of His creation and puny man will not upset that apple-cart through our CO2 emissions or cow flatulence. 

I believe that all men, women, and children are created equal and have the inalienable right to pursue Life that includes being born, liberty that means freedom from overt government regulation, and happiness.  I believe that the Law must be equally applied to everyone regardless of race, creed, politics, or financial status.  I believe that Freedom is incredibly costly and worth fighting for. 

You may or may not agree with my brief listing of reasons I cannot support the Toxic Liberal Left and why I will do all I can to see them defeated in 2020 and every election I live to see.  I love America and believe that there are those who vote Democrat also truly love this nation.  However, I believe that many of them are deceived through the hype, spin, and paranoia being fed them through their only sources of information.  I pray for them and weep for my nation.  I will stand and continue to stand for Faith, Family, and Freedom.

God bless you and God bless America!

The insanity in today’s American politics cannot be explained as mere ignorance, as if ignorance is either mere or simple.  The National Democrats, the ones getting the airtime and the notice are offering policies and advancing agendas that are impossible to achieve.  Yet, millions are buying the spin, regurgitating the rhetoric, and trying to sell the nonsensical.  Millions believe whatever they hear from CNN, MSNBC, the Democrats and the Hollywood mental midgets.  They hear it, they repeat it, they believe it, and they vote for it.  All that without a molecule of thought!  

The fiscal costs of the plans being offered by the Democratic POTUS hopefuls and other visible Democrats are off the chart ignorant.  They pose a financial crisis that any reasonable person should immediately ask, “How will we pay for this?”  The Universal Healthcare or Medicare For All plan being touted by virtually of them in one form or another would cost more than $30 TRILLION over the next decade.  Ocasio-Cortez’s plan is to just cut a few billion from the defense budget and all is handled.  Beyond that, her plan is simple, tax the rich, the middle-class, the poor and everything that moves, and the problem is solved.  After all, “It’s just money and we will pay for it!” 

The Muslim Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has proposed a plan that is so outlandish and far-fetched it should have been immediately laughed out of Washington.  Sadly, it was not only not laughed at but praised as being the smartest plan offered by any Democrat yet!  Wow!  The Liberals have attacked Conservatives for decades claiming that we do not care for the poor.  That accusation is beyond ridiculous.  However, with the media coverage, the continual diatribe of the politicians, and the incredibly pervasive mentality of entitlement and envy, their claims are believed.  Millions believe that if you are a Republican you hate poor people, even if you are a Republican and poor. 

Her plan called, “LIFT +” reveals the increasing fiscal and constitutional insanity of the Left.  Her plan would drastically restructure the EITC and, in her mind, simplify the process.  It is simple and Utopian.  She would simply give $3,000 to individuals and $6,000 to families.  Yep, it is an expansion of the modern idea of the Democrats to have “universal everything” including “universal government control.”  Her plan could be called Universal Income. 

In short, her plan provides that a person making less than $50,000 or a family with a household income of under $100,000 would get the money.  You don’t have to work.  You don’t have to look for a job.  This kind of lunacy makes working undesirable and would kill all incentive to work and provide for your own.  How would you like a bonus of $3,000-$6,000 per year that you don’t have to do a thing to get?  Sounds great, right?  Only until you stop and ask, “Where is the money coming from?”  No, it won’t come from the super-rich, it will come from those of us who work and pay taxes.  It will come from increased in the cost of goods and services.  It will come from higher taxes.  It will come at the expense of our Freedom and Liberty. 

The lunacy of the current push by the Democrats for Abortion on Demand, Open Borders, Gender Nullification, and Socialism is incomprehensible for those using rational thought.  I wish I could attribute this new wave of craziness to “Ignorance”, but I cannot.  I cannot accept the premise that it is simply because those proposing the Utopian ideas are ignorant of economics and the constitution.  I know most of the liberal voters are not well versed in the Constitution.  They have been taught by teachers and professors who are either limited in their knowledge of that document or in opposition to it.  We have multi-generations in American society who are a product of the modern educational constitutional dumbing down.  The price of that mistake is still being determined.

If it is not simply ignorance that is giving rise to these new and destructive proposals, what is it?  I believe that for some of the purveyors of the toxic liberal agenda such as Congresswoman Tlaib it is rooted in their belief system.  Those on the Left who have worked devotedly for decades to push all things Bible, moral, Christian, and historically American out of the public square must have an agenda.  I agree that a significant number of the adherents to the ideology of the Left, the rank-in-file, are not diabolical but constitutional and economically uninformed.  However, those pushing the agenda are far more devious and not dumb. 

I never bought the idea that the former President Barack Obama was the smartest man in the room, but I never believed he was ignorant either.  I believe he was devoted to an ideology, as is Soros, and the political elitists and political establishment.  That ideology is anti-American, anti-Bible, and anti-Freedom.  The ideology of the Liberal Left is, in my view, rooted in the diabolical, not in ignorance. 

I do believe that many of those purveyors of the current insanity are somewhat ignorant of the Constitution.  They appear to have believed what they believe for long enough, their understanding of the Constitution is tainted.  Even Barack Obama lamented that the Constitution was restrictive for his agenda.  His statements demonstrated his understanding of the limitations imposed by our guiding document but were willing to prey on the limited information of the masses and pursue his purposes extra-constitutionally.

America, we can either vote NO on the policies of liberalism or we can consider them innocuous and simply part of the political cycle with all its ebbs and flows and vote for the Left or not vote.  I don’t care how much you dislike the current president, if you consider any of the Democratic hopefuls as viable alternatives or replacements, you are making a grave mistake.  I do not like everything this president has done but he has done more or tried to fight for more of our freedoms than any Republican since Reagan.  What would we have if the Republicans got behind the promised agenda over the next 2-6 years?  What would America look like if the Democrats reclaim the control of the government in all branches? 

It is more than ignorance so do not be deceived.  There is a devious and diabolical plan to destroy America and, in that destruction, we will be destroyed as Free People.  I cannot passively accept that.  Therefore, I commit to staying engaged, involved, in prayer, and to voting in 2020!

God bless you and God bless America!

Forgive me for asking the question but who invented the idea that abortion was a woman’s right to control her own body?  That begs another question regarding that unborn baby’s right to life.  I am all for a woman having the right to control her own body, so long as that control does not necessitate the murder of another innocent life.  I am 100% in favor of a woman having adequate healthcare, but then I am also for men, children, and the unborn having adequate healthcare. 

In most situations where a woman gets pregnant, she had a choice to prevent that pregnancy.  She could have chosen abstinence or some form of protection.  I realize that some of those preventatives fail and the pregnancy is unplanned, but the risk was or should have been known at the time of engaging in coitus. 

I am adamantly Pro-Life and believe that life begins at conception.  Now that I have sufficiently alienated some who are either Pro-Choice or believe that life begins much later I ask for a few minutes of your time to address some issues I see as vital in the discussion of Life. 

I find it amazing and somewhat disingenuous for a person to be an activist for animal rights and an advocate for abortion of a human being at the same time.  I find it astounding that scientist could call a bacterium on Mars or any other planet life and insist that that baby in the womb is not yet a life form.  I have often questioned how liberal proponents of abortion reconcile state laws that protect the fetus in the womb and their willingness to demand abortion on demand, even after live birth. 

There are 38 states as well as the federal government with ‘fetal homicide’ laws on the books.  There are 29 states that have fetal homicide laws that apply to the earliest stages of pregnancy (any state of gestation/development, conception, fertilization, or post-fertilization).  Many of those states are controlled by liberal leftist and strong advocates for abortion.  Those laws treat the fetus (baby) as a potential crime victim separate and apart from the woman who carries it. How can they reconcile that disparity in their argument that that fetus (baby) in the womb is not yet a human being?  If it is nothing more than a blob of tissue how can it be a crime victim? 

Recently the Louisiana Governor defied his Democratic Party and signed into law a strict abortion bill that makes no exception for rape and incest.  The vote in the Louisiana House of Representatives was 79 to 23.  The Democrats have warned the governor that he will be ousted and evicted from the Party over this issue.  The slate of Democratic hopefuls for 2020 are all on-board with abortion and many of the favor incredibly late-term abortions up to and including infanticide.

Bernie Sanders is targeting Illinois Representative Dan Lipinski, a rare Pro-Life Democrat.  He has endorsed the Pro-Choice candidate Marie Newman in her bid to primary Lipinski.  Governor Edwards in Louisiana has been issued a warning or threat by NARAL Pro-Choice America political director, Nicole Brener-Schmitz.  She said, “Governor Edwards, and any other elected official attempting to use political overreach to roll back our rights, is mistaken to think our fundamental freedoms are up for debate.”  That is outrageous!  She further stated, “We are in the majority, and if you are not fighting alongside us, you don’t deserve to represent the American people.” 

Ms. Brener-Schmitz, could I ask what fundamental freedoms are guaranteed by the Constitution and the Creator to that unborn baby?  As a Christian, I find no ground upon which I can support abortion.  As a lover of humanity, I find it reprehensible and ludicrous to argue that a woman has the right to abort that life in the womb because it is her body.  That baby did not ask to be there.  That baby is not a trespasser on private property.  That baby is not a parasite, a blob of tissue, a growth or a mass of cells with no value.  It has a heartbeat by six weeks and by four weeks has a distinct blood vessel formed inside and by five weeks the heart tube begins to beat spontaneously.  That is Life, not tissue!

A mere sixteen days after conception that fetus forms a neural plate, the foundation of the baby’s brain and spinal cord.  By thirteen weeks the baby has well-defined fingers and toes.  By eight weeks the baby will have already gone through two sets of temporary kidneys with the permanent kidneys being formed.  How can anyone call that a mass of cells or a blob of lifeless tissue? 

One of the things that troubles me the most about the abortion issue is the devaluing of human life.  It matters not to me if that devaluing is intentional or unintentional the effect is the same.  Ascribing lifelessness to that fetus (baby) in the womb enables one to become desensitized to life and it is a very short step from abortion to genocide.  No, I do not believe that everyone who supports abortion is a proponent of mass murder but when life become devalued for the unborn how long will it be before it is devalued for the deformed, the elderly, and the mentally unstable? 

Love me or hate me over this stance, but I believe we are treading on dangerous ground morally and spiritually as well as societally if we do not rediscover our value of human life – ALL LIFE!

God bless you and God bless America!        

Billy Currington has a country song that includes the lyrics, “God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.”  That is a somewhat humorous song but is apropos in today’s political world.  My twist to that line in the song is, “Democrats are crazy.”  That is, those who are advocates of the myriad of illogical positions being advanced by the National Democratic Party. 

I’ve heard so many things I’d like to call ‘stupid’, but my Mamma told me not to use that word.  I guess I could call them ‘idiotic’ but the overly sensitive to any appearance of insensitivity would come after me with a vengeance for my intolerance.  So, I guess I’ll refer to the words of the song, modify them and say, “They are Crazy!”  That is the only explanation I can give for some of the inane policies being advanced. 

We continue to see the massive influx of illegals at our southern border, the burden it has and is placing on America and Americans is enormous.  Yet, the Democrats continue to insist that this is a ‘manufactured crisis.’  They are right, and they are wrong!  It is a ‘manufactured crisis’ but not manufactured by Donald Trump or the Republicans.  It is manufactured by those outside forces inspiring, funding, facilitating, planning, organization, and implementing the invasions.  It is a crisis and the threat from and by some incredibly dangerous and nefarious sources grows exponentially daily. 

The Democratic extremists have fine-tuned their radicalism on many political hot potatoes.  Abortion is a clear example of their extreme radicalism.  The very idea that that baby in the womb is not a living human being and deserving of protection is more than radical it is incomprehensible if not diabolical.  The push for Socialism which disregards the statistical data of history and the proven failures everywhere it has been attempted is an example of blind radicalism.  The demand for Socialized Medicine with Universal Single-Payer Healthcare is beyond clueless it is, in a word, ‘Crazy!’

The Democrats, at least the National Establishment’s Platform, places the security, safety, and well-being of the illegals above and ahead of Americans.  The illegals are pushed to the head of the line for care, provisions, and protection.  Our veterans are still fighting and longing for a smidgen of the care and concern given to those who ignore our laws and flaunt their illegality in our faces.  Our American homeless would love to have a fraction of the concern, the “caring” Democrats have for illegals. 

With the Sanctuary Cities and even Sanctuary States, the insistence that we must immediately and sweepingly modify our laws to give amnesty to the illegals because, in the words of one Democrat, “they have earned it” should alarm every legal American.  They have earned nothing!  They have stolen it but not earned it!

President Trump has brokered a deal with Mexico which has the potential of alleviating some of the strain on those charged with border security.  I won’t go into all the details, as I know them, but on the surface, it appears a good beginning.  His threat of heavy tariffs on Mexican exports has paid off, it seems.  Since about 80% of Mexican exports come to the United States his threat of a 5% tariff was enough to spur the Mexican government and business community into positive actions.  Of course, to the Liberal Left Trump is an evil villain.  They ignore the fact that he is getting results and results that are good for America. 

Mexico is reportedly going to put about 6,000 troops along the border to prevent people from crossing illegally.  I say, “About time!”  Beyond that, Mexican National Guard Troops will be deployed across Mexico to help curb the flow of illegals into the United States.  Again, “About time!” 

Nancy Pelosi has argued and criticized the President saying, “Threats and temper tantrums are no way to negotiate foreign policy.”  Seriously, Nancy?  With what you and the Democrats have done in your name calling, superfluous diatribe, rhetoric, and doing harm to America for the past 2 ½ years you seriously want to talk about “threats and temper?”  Senator Chuckie Schumer declared with his words dripping with sarcasm, “Now that Trump has solved the immigration problem we won’t be hearing about it anymore.”  Senator, if you had a shred of decency and concern for America, your failure and his success would cause you to applaud his small victory.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency has reported that by the end of May there were 676,315 illegals apprehended at the border this year!  There were over 144,000 in May.  How again is this not a crisis and a very serious problem, economically, socially, and regarding national security? 

Recently, a captured ISIS terrorist confessed to an ISIS plot to have English-speaking terrorist and ‘westerners’ cross the border and attack U.S. financial targets.  The ‘westerners’ were European citizens who have gone to Syria to fight for ISIS and are now returning to their homelands.  ISIS wants them in the U.S. to continue their jihad.  How again is this not a crisis?

In the Sanctuary cities and states the local and state police are prohibited from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement “ICE” and the result is criminals are allowed to escape the long arm of the law and are protected by the people supposed to be protecting us.  How again is this not a crisis?

The Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN), one of the loudest anti-Semitic members of Congress said, “It is un-American to criminalize immigrants for wanting to come to this country for a better life.”  She said, “This is why ICE needs to be defunded.”  Seriously, Congresswoman, you want to defund the agency charged with protecting our borders and thereby our national sovereignty and the American people.  That sounds un-American to me, but then I do believe that is what you are.

Considering this, I guess I’ll have to stick with my reference to and modification of the lyrics of Billy Currington’s song and say, “Liberal Leftists Extremist Activist Democrats are Crazy!”  You have to make your own determination but that’s how I see it and another reason I am a NEVER DEMOCRAT VOTER in the foreseeable future.

God bless you and God bless America!

What is the end game or goal of the push for Socialism in America being championed by the Left today?  It is more than universal healthcare, that would be bad enough, but it is far more iniquitous.  It is CONTROL!  However, that is too simplistic a statement and needs more elucidation to be transparently lucid for everyone both the skeptic and curiously concerned.

The argument of the Democrats and some RINOs that the few million uninsured do not have access to healthcare is fallacious.  The mandate of law is that an Emergency Room cannot deny care to anyone based on their ability to pay.  They receive the same treatment as those with insurance or cash.  Our healthcare system is heavily regulated and managed by the government. 

The actual cost of healthcare is hidden from most Americans, insured or uninsured due to the distortion due to federal and state subsidies.  Third Party insurers foot most of the bill and few shops around for the best price.  After all, we want the best care, not the cheapest, right?  There is little question that our healthcare industry could use some competitive reform, but when the government is involved reform becomes transformation into their control, not our benefit.

The Democrats are all clamoring for some form of Universal Healthcare now being labeled as “Medicare For All”.  I tremble when I hear that discussion and grow weak in the knees when people who should know better buy into the scam and scheme, thinking it will make things better or Free.  It will do neither, but alas, I keep sounding the alarm and beating the drum and nobody wants to march, so I may be wasting my breath, but try I must.

The Left wants a ‘single-payer’ system of FREE healthcare.  The truth is they know, and we should know that Free Healthcare is an Oxymoron and a fantasy.  What they want is for you and me, the taxpayer to pay the bill for everyone.  They want Medical Socialism and that is only the tip of the iceberg.  Once you hook people in dependency on the government you gain the upper hand and once addicted to the dole, like drugs, it is difficult to be weaned off the governmental sugar-tit. 

Every country that has any form of Socialized Medicine has some form of rationing, denial, or extended delay for treatment.  How is that better?  Those willing to trade liberty and freedom for an entitlement do not care about the factual data of people in Canada and the U.K. waiting months if not years for surgeries available in the United States almost instantly.  Sadly, many think in terms of their bottom line financially rather than what could and will happen regarding needed healthcare.  The healthy, the young, the invincible do not think beyond today and until it impacts them directly they are oblivious to the dangers.

Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are two of the leading proponents of Democratic Socialism in America.  The increase in membership in the Democratic Socialists of America has increased since 2016 and that is troubling.  Gallup released a poll that indicated that 40% of Americans believe that ‘some form of socialism is good for America.’  Sadly, most of that 40% have no real definition for Socialism other than it contains some form of ‘freebies’ and that is a hot button for them.  It may be healthcare, school loans, tuition costs, or some entitlement they embrace, desire, or seek.  Whatever the cause is, the spin of the Media, the Democrats, and some Republicans are that our Economic System is broken and therefore something must be done. 

Most discussions on Capitalism vs Socialism do not deal with the perils of Socialism only the flaws of Capitalism.  That skewed presentation entices many to buy the rhetoric that Socialism is a panacea for our economic and other issues in America.  The fanning the flames of envy and greed is a major culprit, and few seem to understand that when the government provides it demands something in return.  It would be akin to borrowing money from the loan shark and for a $5 loan, you pay back $7-10.  You give up control and relinquish the decision making to the bureaucrats and politicians.  That is not Freedom or Liberty and not the America of our Founders and the Framers.

Our best defense against Socialism is the Constitution. But with so few politicians understanding it, having read it, or embracing it as the final authority for American government it is frequently relegated to meaninglessness.  Have you read the Constitution of the Democratic Socialist of America (DSA)?  If not, you should.  Article II of their Constitution states, “We are socialists because we share a vision of humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning, equitable distribution, feminism, racial equality, and no-oppressive relationships.”  That may sound good on the surface but if you examine it closely you readily see that their definition implies a set of institutional arrangements that would inevitably limit freedom of choice.  Is that what you want?

Their desires and designs are clear to any who will take the time to vet them and read or listen to their stated objectives. Let me give you this token of their stated view: “Our task is formidable. Democratic socialists must secure decisive majorities in legislatures while winning hegemony in the unions,” writes Bhaskar Sunkara, editor of Jacobin magazine, in his Socialist Manifesto. “Then our organizations must be willing to flex their social power in the form of mass mobilizations and political strikes to counter the structural power of capital and ensure that our leaders choose confrontation over accommodation with elites.”

A conflicting poll to the 40% favoring Socialism is the Gallup poll that found 77% of Americans are happy with the “overall quality of life in America.”  Also, 65% are satisfied with the “opportunity for a person to get ahead by working hard.”   Additionally, 53% like the “influence of organized religion.”  We have the most robust economy we have had in decades with real disposable income rising.  The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported that all Americans have enjoyed an increase of post-tax income since 1979.  Do we really want to go back to a time without smartphones, the Internet, the extensive cable television and laparoscopic surgery? 

If the Democratic Socialist win, we will see a massive expansion of the Supreme Court with liberal Socialist Activist Jurist and the revamping if not the removal of the Electoral College.  We will see Medicare for All, Open Borders, Free everything that will bankrupt an already bankrupt republic.  We will see government mandated housing, transportation, parenting, size of family, gun control, higher taxation, and a massive loss of Freedoms and Liberties.  Doubt me if you please, but this is more than a nuisance it is destruction.

God bless you and God bless America!

Before I tell you what I’m talking about I want to address the unrelenting diatribe and spin by the Democrats, those who hate Donald Trump, the Media, and the high-ranking member so both the Mueller Team and the various federal bureaus.  I can barely comprehend the pressure and personal antagonism that the President must have felt during this inconceivable and incomprehensible attack on him, his family, and anyone associated with him.  Most people, wielding the power of his office, would have mashed Mueller like a bug. 

I heard and read an interview with John Dowd, the man who is a legend in his own right in the Department of Justice’s Strike Force 18.  He was the head of that group, a group within the DOJ’s Organized Crime and Racketeering Section.  He engineered, spearheaded, and oversaw massive and incredibly complex investigations directed at the underworld of organized crime.  His work was nothing short of incredible!

Donald J. Trump was masterful in securing Dowd’s services once the Muller appointment was a reality.  Dowd and co-counsel Ty Cobb continuously interacted with the Mueller Team and led the fight for the President’s interest and for America.  The Mueller Team was laden with angry activist Democrats who wanted Trump’s head on a platter and didn’t care how they got it.

The anger still boils over in the hearts and minds of those who see his election as a usurpation of their rightful control of the government.  Rightful in their minds, not mine.  The strategy that unfolded was one that few would have consented to but was a stroke of brilliance and gives a solid foundation for the denouncing of the investigation and the antics now being engaged in by the Left and those RINOs in Congress who detest the man, Donald J. Trump.  It is not ideological but personal!

The strategy was ‘total transparency.’  I don’t care what you’ve heard or even that you may have bought into the deception and perception that Trump is obstructing justice, not cooperating, and is a criminal.  Those are unfounded accusations I don’t buy and won’t sit silently while they are bandied about.  Bill & Hillary Clinton were anything but transparent with the Ken Starr investigation.  Barack Obama was anything but transparent in the many inquiries during his time in office.  Remember Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his college transcripts, birth records, and much more.  No, I am not trying to raise the birth issue, just citing his actions to keep things from the public.

John Dowd was asked in the interview, “When did President Trump say, ‘fire Mueller’?”  Dowd’s amazing and truthful response was, “He never did.”  Dowd affirmed that he was there at the time the report says that McGahn, mentioned that.  He affirmed that he (Dowd) was assigned to deal with Robert Mueller and he briefed the President daily.  He asserted that he met with Mueller or Quarles for eight months every week.  There was no attempt on the part of Donald J. Trump, the 45^th President of the United States of America to impede the investigation or failure to cooperate.  That will rankle some, but the truth is the truth.

He said that the President had a message for Robert Mueller that nobody on the Left will acknowledge.  The message contained four statements.  According to Dowd, President Trump instructed him to convey to Robert Mueller that he (Trump) respected what Mueller was doing.  Secondly, the President want Mueller to know that he had his full cooperation.  Thirdly, he wanted Mueller to get the task completed as quickly as possible.  Fourthly, he wanted Mueller to know that if he needed anything else to just let him know.

Rod Rosenstein participated in the planned and attempted coup in appointing Robert Mueller.  His actions gave the President no opportunity to have Mueller vetted and that would have revealed the nefarious purposes and the partisan coup.  Dowd rated Mueller’s performance during and after as an “F” and referred to his work in the Strike Force 18.  There are so many things lacking in the investigation and actions that violate everything good law enforcement and prosecutorial would never have allowed. 

Mueller needs to be thoroughly cross-examined by the Republicans and find out when he knew there was no collusion.  He needs to be forced to fully reveal the depth of the involvement in the Steele dossier by the Clinton Camp, the DNC, and even the Obama administration.  There are many things Mueller needs to have his feet held to the fire over but to deny that the President has cooperated is ludicrous. 

President Trump has continued to work toward the fulfillment of his campaign promises in the heat of this battle and under the daily attempts to triturate him and his agenda.  How Republicans can allow personal repulsion for a person blind them to the dangers of allowing the Leftists back in power is beyond my ability to comprehend. 

If we are honest we must acknowledge that providing millions of documents and allowing members of his staff to be interviewed is far more transparent than any of our previous recent presidents.  We also must admit that he has done more conservative things than any president since Reagan.  I do not endorse all the verbiage used by President Trump and I have not agreed with everything he has done, but I appreciate his willingness to strive to keep his promises and fight for our freedoms as well as stand up to the bullies of the world.

God bless you and God bless America!
