AARP or Amac


      I joined Americ  an Association of Retired Persons (AARP) sometime after I had reached the  eligible age.  I was under the false impression that AARP worked in the best interest of seniors.  How wrong I was. 
        AARP has become a marketing organization for supplemental medical insurance.  As a marketing person, I have to admit they do an excellent job.  They actually make some of their members feel they are getting a valuable service. 
      What AARP does not do is work in the best interests of seniors.  The organization is very liberal and support the Democratic Party.  I realized this when they supported ObamaCare, which hurt seniors.
       I dropped my AARP membership and asked to be removed from any AARP mailing lists.  I don’t want to be associated with AARP in any way. 
        I play golf in a senior, best ball league.  I do not refer to it as an AARP league, although many golfers do.  I call it old fart golf, which I consider much more complimentary.
    I would recommend the Association of Mature American Citizens (Amac) as a conservative alternative to AARP.  I like the term mature in the name because it represents people that are mature in more than just years.
        The following are some bullet points from Amac:
·       AARP recently threatened to sue the President.
·       AARP sides with radical left-wing groups.
·       AARP is anti-Trump and claim that seniors agree.
·       Amac pushes for full appeal of ObamaCare.
·       Amac supports President Trump’s agenda.

     Your membership in AARP is a donation to the radical left and is hurting America.  Drop it.  Remove your name from their mailing lists.  Join Amac.  Support your President. 

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Trump - The Chess Player


        I don’t know if President Trump plays chess, but if he does, he could be a world champion.  He always thinks four moves ahead of everyone else. 
        Even when it appears he has made a mistake, I have learned to just wait and see how things work out.  His success may not be immediate, but he always seems to achieve his objective in the end. 
        I said four moves ahead, but he is more often as many as eight moves ahead of the lame-stream media.  He plays them like a fiddle, and they never seem to catch on to what he is doing. 
        Trump is unique as a President for several reasons.  He is not a traditional politician.  He attempts to keep all his campaign promises.  He is not obligated to anyone in the swamp, deep state, or big money.  He does not owe any party hard-liners any favors.  He is smart, and he thinks four moves ahead. 

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

It's About Time


        Our country has had a problem with immigration for at least 50 years.  Politicians and past Presidents talk immigration reform and use the issue to divide the country, but never fix the problem.  Anyone who really wanted to fix the problem was called a racist.  Thank goodness, we finally have a President who is addressing the problem. 
        We have had a problem with law and order in this country.  The political elite felt they were above the law.  Past Presidents enforced laws selectively based on their personal political agenda.  One President issued executive orders that were clearly in violation of the Constitution.  States passed laws that were in clear violation of federal law.  Thank goodness, we finally have a President who is addressing the problem. 
        We have had a problem with trade since WWII.  It has hurt the American worker, but the political elite have used it to their advantage.  Past Presidents have made the problem worse by promoting free trade that was not fair.  Thank goodness, we finally have a President who is addressing the problem. 
        We over-taxed our citizens and our companies, which put America at a disadvantage in the world market.  Past Presidents have talked tax reform and done nothing.  Thank goodness, we finally have a President who is addressing the problem. 
        We have a problem with ISIS and terrorism.  We are at war with radical Islam.  The last President couldn’t even say the words Islamic terrorists, much less deal with the problem. Thank goodness, we finally have a President who is addressing the problem. 
        Our position as a world leader was in tatters.  Potential problems with Iran, North Korea, Russia, and China threatened our economy and world peace.  The last three presidents all kicked these problems down the road and even made them worse.  Thank goodness, we finally have a President who is addressing the problems. 
        Our country was at a political and economic disadvantage due to oil dependency on foreign nations.  We now are energy independent.  Thank goodness, we finally have a President who is addressing the problem. 
        Our healthcare costs are out of control and Obama Care was a disaster.  Politicians do not know the difference between health care and medical insurance.  Thank goodness we finally have a President that is addressing the problem. 
        Liberals have used minorities as political pawns for fifty years, but have never improved their quality of life.  In many cases minorities have been enslaved to welfare.  Now these minorities have the lowest unemployment of any time in history.  Thank goodness, we finally have a President who is addressing the problem. 

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Second Amendment


       The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

        I don’t see any mention of only guns used for hunting.  Hunting is not the reason for the amendment.  I did not see any exceptions for weapons that look scary.  I did not see any exceptions for weapons which had been used by criminals, crazy people, or terrorists. 
     The reference to a militia was not limited to a government military.  It referred to citizens that could and would defend their country. 
      Isoroku Yamamoto was Commander-In-Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II:  He was aware of the civilian militia.  He said;

You cannot invade the mainland United States.  There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.

       Our founding fathers had such amazing foresight that I am continually amazed.  The argument that the Constitution is outdated and should be modified as a living document has constantly been shown to be wrong.  
         The intention of the Second Amendment is quite clear.  George Washington wrote:

A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them which would include their own government. 

        “Their own government” is an important part of his statement.   What happens after the government takes away guns?  Here is a little history: 

·       1911 in Turkey:  1.5 million people killed by government

·       1929 in Soviet Union:  40 million killed by government

·       1935 in China:  50 million people killed by government

·       1938 in Germany:  13 million people killed by government

·       1956 in Cambodia:  One million people killed by government

·       1964 in Guatemala:  100,000 people killed by government

·       1970 in Uganda:  300,000 people killed by government

·       1994 in Rwanda:  One million people killed by government

      I am sure most people think this could never happen here, because it can only happen in a country where political leaders and bureaucrats have a political agenda, feel they are above the law, and are accountable to no one.  I may have just scared myself when I think about the deep state.  Could it happen here? 
        Support the Second Amendment, and President Trump to clean up the swamp.   

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
