A Conversation

I can just imagine a conversation between:

·       Nancy Pelosy, Speaker of the House

·       Adam Schiff, House Intelligence Chairman

·       Jerry Nadler, House Judicial Chairman

·       Jim Comey, Former FBI Director

·       John Brennan, Former CIA Director

·       James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence

·       Loretta Lynch, Former Attorney General

·       Andrew McCabe, Former FBI Deputy Director

“What crimes did Trump commit?”

“We can’t find any.”

“What dirt have we found on him?”

“Nothing.”

“You’re kidding?”

“I wish.”

“We had the FBI, CIA, National Intelligence, and the Department of Justice working on this, and they found nothing.”

“That’s correct.”

“The Mueller investigation was a rigged kangaroo court, and they found nothing that Trump or anyone in his family or anyone working on his campaign did wrong.”

“Has Trump failed to fulfill his Oath of Office in any way?”

“Not that we can find.” 

“Have we caught him in any lies?”

“He makes some normal political exaggerations, but no actual lies.”

“Him telling the truth is more of a problem, because he tells things that we don’t want public and makes us look bad.”

“Have we been able to frame him with anything that will make him look dirty?”

“We have tried to frame him for every crime that we have committed ourselves and more.”

“Nothing sticks, but hopefully it deflects attention from us.”

“You haven’t done any better in the Congress.”

“That fake whistle blower was a joke.”

“We have done everything we could, both legally and illegally, and we don’t have squat.”

“The fake news has backed up every lie we put out there, but nothing sticks.”

“CNN and MSNBC have been saying the end is near for Trump for years and nothing happens.”

“They keep doubling down on their lies with no results.”

“I don’t understand why anybody continues to watch those networks since everything they say concerning Trump is proven wrong.”

“Are you all saying we have been attempting this coup to overthrow the election for over three years and we have zilch?”

“That’s about it.”

“We have spent millions of dollars and we have nothing to show for it?”

“Actually less than nothing.  His poll numbers keep going up.”

“There has to be something.  No one is that clean.”

“None of us could survive an investigation like Trump has survived.”

“Let’s face it.  If anyone ever investigated us like that, we would all be in jail.”

“We have to keep trying to frame him for something, or we all WILL BE BEHIND BARS.”

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

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all.  I am so grateful it is still acceptable to say this in spite of the liberal left trying to take away Christians’ right to express their religious beliefs as guaranteed in the first amendment, including taking God out of our schools and courts. 

I have seen the following before and I don’t know who wrote it originally, but we need to have little fun with the liberal left.

TO MY DEMOCRAT FRIENDS:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or Even their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2020,, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great.  Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other countries nor the only "America" in the Western Hemisphere.  Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.

TO MY REPUBLICAN FRIENDS

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  

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

It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times...

        These are the opening lines of Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities.  The setting for the book is 1775 England.  The book was first published in 1859, but is strangely relevant today.

It was the best of times:

·       We have the strongest economy in history and in the world.

·       More people have jobs, including all minorities, than any time in history

·       We are eliminating unfair and unnecessary government restrictions for business.

·       We have the best trade policies in decades. 

·       We are respected by foreign countries more now than any time since WWII.

·       We have a strong military.

·       We are winning the war on terror.

·       Rules of engagement that cost military lives have been changed.

·       We are securing our borders.

·       Taxes have been reduced.

·       Judges have been appointed who enforce the law instead of legislating the law.

·       President Donald Trump

It was the worst of times:

·       Democrats are attempting a coup to overthrow a duly elected President for purely political reasons.

·       The left are trying to overthrow or change the Constitution.

·       We are experiencing the worst abuse of power in Congress in our history.

·       Globalists want open boarders for financial motives including drugs, wars, and money laundering.

·       We have more political division in this country than at any time in history except for during the civil war.

·       We have a media that is selling propaganda and telling lies, and never apologize for their lies.

·       We had the worst incompetence or corruption in the FBI in the history of the country.

·       Corrupt Democratic left

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

Presidential Candidates

        The United States of America is the greatest country in the world.  We have some of the best and brightest people in the world.  Why can’t the Democrats and Republicans put up qualified Presidential candidates? 

        Donald Trump will probably be the greatest President in history, but he was a fluke.  He ran as a Republican, but was really an independent.  Democrats, Republicans, the Washington establishment, government bureaucrats, government diplomats, the political elite, and most importantly, the rich globalists all opposed him.  Fortunately, none of them took him seriously and the American people were fed up with government as usual.  They wanted real change.

        The last couple Republican Presidential candidates were Mitt Romney and John McCain.  Both are nice men, but I have a personal problem with Mitt Romney. 

        The problem with these two is that they both were RINOS or Republican in Name Only.  They were progressives and did not represent conservative Republican beliefs.  Either one could have been a good, moderate Democratic Presidential candidate. 

        The Democrat Presidential candidates have all been using identity politics and dividing the county on special interests like race or gender.  This approach and big money support has served them well in the past.  The Democratic Party seems to have become the party of big money and welfare.  Their tactics are division and hate.  

        President Barack Obama was elected because he was black and could deliver a good speech.  He was not qualified, achieved nothing, was a racist, and will go down as one of the worst Presidents in history.    

        Today’s Democratic Presidential candidates are a total joke.  One is a corrupt career politician than can’t finish a sentence.  One has no credentials except he is a young married gay man.  One is a woman who is a habitual liar.  Kamala Harris seemed to have potential.  She was female and black, but has dropped out of the race.  I guess she also needed to be a lesbian to get the far left endorsement. 

        All the Democratic presidential candidates try go farther left than their opponents.  This country will not accept socialism.  It does not matter if it is called Democratic Socialism or communism, it is all the same.  The results are always a disaster for the people.  No one except the rich political elite, Democratic faithful, and sadly, many of our youth who believe the propaganda of our education system, will vote for socialism. 

        Maybe there are no good 2020 Democratic candidates for President because they know there is no way they can beat President Trump.  Trump has done too much for all Americans in spite of being the most harassed President in history.  He is the President of peace and prosperity.  The only way Trump could ever lose in 2020 is if people get too comfortable and complacent, and don’t vote.

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

Protection Under the Law

        Our founding fathers knew the dangers of a monarchy or a dictatorship.  The Bill of Rights protects citizens from a tyrannical government.

·       The Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures.

·       The Fifth Amendment describes due process and gives the accused the right not to incriminate themselves.

·       The Sixth Amendment quarantines the right to legal counsel, confront the accuser, and call witnesses. 

        I don’t think anyone would like to have these rights under the law taken away.  The Constitution does make provision for impeachment, but the law has been ignored.  Why do Democrats think it is alright to ignore the Constitution and the Bill of Rights because they want to overthrow a duly elected President? 

            Congress has enacted laws to protect the identity of a whistleblower, but the current accuser of Presidential misconduct does not meet any of the legal requirements of a whistleblower.  He or she is actually a corrupt political operative and has no right to anonymity. 

        Impeachment of the President requires specific charges of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors.”  This means things like treason.  Don’t confuse “Misdemeanors” with our current definition of misdemeanors under the law.  The Democrats have not been able to come up with a single concrete thing yet.  

         I don’t know if it will happen, but if the House votes to impeach Trump, it then goes to the Senate.  The Senate must enforce the rules of evidence and Trump’s right under the Law.  All the hearsay witnesses will not be allowed to testify.  The first witnesses that should be called and put under oath are Adam Schiff, the so-called whistle blower, Hunter Biden, and Joe Biden.  They will all have to take the 5^th Amendment right not to incriminate themselves, because if they tell the truth, they go to jail, and if they lie, they go to jail. 

        Democrats have been trying to impeach President Trump from the day he was elected.  Their attempts are totally for political reasons and have nothing to do with anything he has done.  I can see why the founding fathers were concerned with corrupt politicians using impeachment for political gain.

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

Getting Fired

        I don’t like getting fired, and in most cases, I don’t like firing people.  As the CEO of a small business, I once fired myself.  Being laid off sounds better, but the result is the same.

        In collage, I worked as night and weekend manager for a full service Standard Oil gas station.  I didn’t always follow the rules and the owner was always firing me.  One day he made me mad and I didn’t go to work that night.  Shortly after my shift started he called me at home asking why I was not at work.  When I said, “You fired me,” his response was, “I fire you all the time.  That’s no excuse for not coming to work.”  I told him I was taking the night off and would be in the next day.

        The Democrats are trying to fire President Trump with a coup to overthrow an election and the Constitution.  They have wasted tax payer money with closed and open hearings into impeaching Trump.  This investigation is a joke and I hope the Democrats will put an end to it, but I know they won’t.  They will continue until they come up with the next hoax to frame Trump for something.  

        They need to be a little more inventive.  So far all the things they have accused Trump of are crimes that some Democrat or establishment bureaucrat has already committed.

        None of the witnesses in the open hearings had any first-hand knowledge.  They all were career foreign service diplomats or ambassadors.  Some had been removed from their position.  In other words they had been fired. 

        The one thing they all had in common was that they had their feelings hurt.  If they were still in the same position, they felt slighted because President Trump had not consulted with them or kept them informed of what he was doing.  Their feelings were hurt and they were lashing out at Trump.  These people are a bunch of snowflakes and should never serve in something as important as foreign service. 

        All federal government bureaucrats serve at the pleasure of the President and he has every right to fire them at any time.  He does not need a reason.  President Obama fired every ambassador named by Bush immediately after being sworn into office and told them to have their office cleaned out.  Ambassador Yovanvitch was replaced because the new President of Ukraine wanted her gone.    

        Foreign policy is set by the President.  It is not set by unelected career diplomats.  They can give advice if asked, but do not have the right to question or not follow the President’s policy.  If they don’t agree with the President’s policy they should show some moral character and resign. 

        Elections do have consequences, and thank God for President Donald Trump.  He has done more for this country and our relationship with the rest of the world than any President from either political party in decades.

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

Trump is Too Nice

        Some people despised the President.  He had been called a simple Susan, a baboon, an aimless punster, a smutty jokester, a huckster in politics, and first-rate, second-rate man.  These comments came from his from his associates.  He probably should have been impeached.  I am not talking about President Trump.  I am talking about Abraham Lincoln.  Surprised?

        President Trump has been called much worse, and is the victim of a planned coup to undo the 2016 election and overthrow the government.  Trump never retaliates except with words and tweets.  I love some of the nicknames he gives people.  His worst offense is to call out the lame-stream fake news when they put out lies.

        President Obama used the FBI and the IRS against reporters when they reported something he did not like.  The media reacted by treating President Obama like the messiah. 

        Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and the Obama administration used the intelligence community, and agents of foreign governments to derail an American election by illegally spying on a Presidential candidate an then a Presidential administration.

        President Lyndon B. Johnson used the FBI and IRS against political opponents.  President John F. Kennedy used the FBI and IRS against political opponents.  President Franklin D. Roosevelt used the IRS against reporters.

        Both President Lincoln and President Wilson imprisoned journalists, restricted freedom of the press, and freedom of speech.  Wilson arrested 2,000 men and woman with 1,200 going to jail for “disloyal speech.” 

        President Franklin D. Roosevelt controlled radio broadcasts and banned any broadcast that was critical of any policy of the administration.  He did the same with newspapers. 

        All past Presidents have made extensive use of Executive Privilege to hide and protect many of their actions.  President Trump has not done any of these things and is without question the most transparent President in over seventy years. 

        No President has ever been attacked like President Trump.  In spite of this, he has achieved more for the country in the last three years than any other President has done in eight years. 

        President Trump is guilty of promising to drain the swamp, and unlike most politicians, he keeps his promises.  The American people were fed up with government as usual, and elected him President.  This scares the heck out of the establishment and the rich political elite because they can’t control him. 

        President Trump puts the interests of the American people ahead of the rich globalists elites.

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

Unfredom of the Press

              I recommend Mark Levin’s book, Unfreedom of the Press, but I must warn you that it is not a light or an easy read.  The facts it holds are totally accurate and supported with 28 pages of footnotes. 

        The seven chapters are:

1.   News as a Political and Ideological Activism

2.   The Early Patriot Press

3.   The Modern Democratic Press

4.   The Real Threat to Press Freedom

5.   News, Propaganda, and Pseudo-Events

6.   The New York Times Betrays Millions

7.   The Truth About Collusion, Abuse of Power, and Character

Levin’s closing paragraph in the book is: 

Therefore, as I said in the opening, this book is intended to, among other things, “jump-start a long overdue and hopefully productive dialogue among the American citizenry on how best to deal with the complicated and complex issue of the media’s collapsing role as a bulwark of liberty, the civil society, and republicanism.”

        When I was in school, I was taught good journalism was the four Ws of Who, What, When, and Where.  There was no why, interpretation, or opinion.  After I have listened to a speech, I find it insulting to have some talking-head tell me their interpretation of it.  I am capable of making my own conclusions.

        Today most journalists don’t report the news.  They have their own political agendas and then look for stories that support them.  If they can’t find those stories, they manufacture some.

        One of the biggest lies is how the press avoids any news that does not support their political agenda.  These omissions are an indirect lie.  Levin gives some great examples, including the REAL science on climate change that is totally ignored by the media.

        Our founding fathers felt a free press was essential to ensuring the survival of our democratic republic.  Today, many journalists have become the propaganda arm of globalists, and the left. They no longer report the news. 

        I am a news junky.  I used to watch two or three of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and FOX every morning.  I first dropped NBC after Obama was elected as it became the the government station.  Next I quit watching MSNBC, and CNN when they became the propaganda arm of the left.  I still watch ABC and CBS for local news, but even that is so slanted that I often have to change the channel in disgust.  That leaves only FOX for “Fair and Balanced” reporting.

        Why would anyone believe anything from a media that calls the world’s #1 terrorist a “religious scholar”, or calls our crisis at the border “manufactured” when it is costing 70,000 American lives every year, or defames a young man wearing a MAGA cap who has done nothing wrong, or support an attorney for a so-called whistle blower who tweeted years ago that he was working towards a coup to impeach President Trump and CNN would play an important role. 

        I understand that people (including me) don’t like to admit when they are wrong, but at some point rational people have to get over the Trump Derangement Syndrome and accept the results of the 2016 election.  This illegal coup to overthrow an election, the Constitution, and the vote of the people must stop.

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

Impeachment & The Constitution

          The Constitution provides the option of removing someone from office by impeachment for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”  Some of the founding fathers were concerned about the impeachment process because they were afraid it would be misused for political and partisan reasons.  Their concerns were warranted.

        The process is quite simple.  There must be specific crimes.  The entire House then votes to impeach.  The impeachment trial is then conducted in the Senate. 

        What the Democrats in the House are doing now is turning the entire criminal justice system upside-down and giving the finger to the Constitution.  The current vote to “formalize the impeachment inquiry” is unprecedented. 

        The first problem the democrats have is that there is no crime for which to impeach Trump.  The so-called whistle blower about the call between President Trump and the President of Ukraine is nothing but a partisan leaker who had no direct knowledge and had some of Adam Schiff’s staff attorneys write up the complaint.

        Trump did nothing wrong.  In fact, he has an obligation under the National Corrupt Defense Act to investigate and not give any aid to corrupt nations.  We know that Ukraine did try to influence the 2016 election while working with Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, but no one wants to investigate that. 

        Pelosi lied said impeachment must be nonpartisan.  The three previous times a President was impeached, there were specific crimes and it was nonpartisan.  Last weeks vote was totally partisan unless you count the two Democrats who voted with the Republicans to defeat the motion. 

        The motion gives Adam Schiff the power to veto witnesses, questions, and answers.  It does not give the President any opportunity to defend himself.  This sounds corrupt to me.  Schiff says no one is above the law, but apparently thinks he is. When did people in this country become guilty until proven innocent?

        Adam Schiff is one of the most prolific liars in Washington.  He said he had clear evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians.  Where is it?

        Schiff works behind closed doors and leaks lies while claiming to be transparent.  One of his best lies was last week when he said he took no joy in impeaching the President, but would not shrink from his Constructional duty.  What a crook of s___.

        Democrats did not like the results of the 2016 election and have been intent on removing Trump from office since the day after the election.  First it was Russian and Mueller, with the last being the call with the Ukrainian President.  The problem is simply that Trump has not done a thing wrong.  

        President Trump is the most transparent President in history and has been vetted more than any other individual in history, and the Democrats can’t find anything to charge him with.  He even released the transcript of the phone call with the Ukrainian President, with his permission.  

        I agree with that decision, because any competent person can see the President did nothing wrong, however I disagree because it sets a dangerous precedent.  Every President must have the authority to have private conversations with other heads of state.  Removing this Presidential authority would be a dangerous blow to our national security.

        This impeachment BS must stop, because it is tearing the country apart.  Congress needs to get back to doing their job.  Trump’s accomplishments are mind boggling, but think what he could do with a Congress that worked with him and did their job.

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

Rotten Apples

        An old proverb states: “A rotten apple spoils the whole bunch.”  Many of us have seen how one rotten apple in a basket can cause all the apples to spoil.  The one bad apple must be removed to save the rest.

        This same principle is true with people.  One person’s words or actions can impact an entire group negatively, but we should also not condemn an entire group without trying to identify and eliminate the rotten apple or apples.

        This principle is valid in business.  When I took over as manager of a recreational vehicle manufacturing plant, I had to make a lot of changes fast.  I did identify a rotten apple in the plant and let him go.  This move improved morale and productivity. I later thought the individual had learned his lesson and hired him back.  It was a mistake.  I had to fire him again. 

        The principle is also true in government and politics.  There are many good people in the FBI, but a few rotten apples at the top have hurt the image of the FBI.  People like James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and James Baker must be held accountable or they will spoil the credibility of the entire FBI. 

        There are many good people in the CIA, but rotten apples like John Brennan must be held accountable.  The Department of Justice must be held to a very high standard, and rotten apples like Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, and Bruce Ohr must be thrown out and held accountable.

        Many other rotten apples are spoiling the image of good government agencies and departments.   James Clapper in National Intelligence, Susan Rice as a National Security Advisor, and Lois Lerner in the IRS all must be held accountable.

        One of the worst rotten apples has to be Hillary Clinton in the State Department.  Considering all the scandals she has been involved with, how could she ever have been the Democratic nominee for President? 

        Most Democrats are good people.  I have many friends and relatives who are Democrats, but the Democratic Party has a big problem with rotten apples.  Left wing extremists like Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, and “The Mob” seem to have taken over the Party.

        Republicans have a problem with rotten apples too.  What is the problem with RINOS (Republicans In Name Only) like Mitt Romney?  I find it hard to believe Republicans actually nominated him as their Presidential candidate in 2012.

        We have a real Constitutional crisis with corruption in government.  How high does this corruption go?  Did Obama know or had he lost all control?  This conduct must not be condoned or treated as old news or forgotten.  The truth must be revealed and the guilty held accountable so this political corruption by a few can never happen again. 

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