What Happened to the Tea Parties?

        Marla and I attended our first Tea Party in Shell Lake, Wisconsin on Saturday, September 19, 2009.  It was held in a park and it was a beautiful fall day.  We took lawn chairs and our dog Skygge. 

        We had made up some signs which hung on cords around our necks.  Marla’s said “No Gov-Run Healthcare.”  My sign was “No Earmarks.”

        At the end of the scheduled speakers, they asked if anyone wanted to make a short presentation.  I went up to the podium and gave a short talk on eliminating earmarks from legislation. 

        Sean Duffy had been one of scheduled speakers.  He was making his first run for Wisconsin’s 7^th District U.S. Congressional seat.  After my talk, he found me and asked for a copy of my talk against earmarks. 

        It is hard to believe it has been over a decade since that Tea Party.  We attended other Tea Parties after that first one in Shell Lake, and I was a scheduled speaker at several. 

        The Tea Parties were always well organized and peaceful.  They were never racist or sexist in any way as the lame-stream media tried to present them.  There was never any damage to property.  Every scrap of trash was picked up after an event.

        The establishment and Deep State did everything possible to stop the Tea Party movement.  The IRS even targeted Tea Party organizations, but Tea Parties continued because the American people were fed up with the Washington establishment that ignored working Americans.

        We don’t have Tea Party rallies today.  The closest thing is a Trump rally, and they are amazing.  Trump is the best thing that came out of the Tea Party movement. 

        The left also has rallies and demonstrations, but they are the opposite of Tea Parties.  They disrespect any opposing views.  They leave all their trash behind.   They often destroy property and are sometimes violent.  Some groups like ANTFA are an absolute disgrace.  The left justifies this disgraceful behavior by saying they are just passionate about their cause.  Thats no excuse. 

        I am grateful to have experienced the Tea Party movement and the election of Donald Trump as President.  Tea Parties saved this country and have made it greater than ever.

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

Trump did not bring division.  Division brought Trump.

Roger Stone

        Roger Stone is a 67 year old man who has been convicted of lying under oath and a sentence of nine years has been recommended for him by the prosecution. 

        He was arrested in a pre-dawn raid on his home on January 25, 2019.  This raid included heavily armed SWAT personnel which would have been more appropriate for arresting the leader of a drug cartel. 

        CNN was at the scene in advance, with their cameras.  They deny that they had been tipped about the arrest.  They claim it was just good investigating reporting.  How stupid do they think the public is? 

        Stone may be guilty of the lying under oath, but I have some questions about the case.  Some members of the jury for his trial had a political agenda and should have been excused. 

        Roger Stone’s greatest crime is that he is a conservative and a Trump supporter.  The Left will do anything possible to hurt Trump and his supporters.

        The big problem is the double standard of justice we have for the politically connected and the Left.  There is absolutely no question that Andrew McCabe, Jim Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Hillary Clinton all lied under oath.  This is not speculation.  The evidence is clear and public. 

        All these political elite committed the same crime for which Roger Stone has been convicted.  They have not been sentenced to serve nine years in prison.  They have not even been charged. 

        We have to stop this double standard of justice.  I have been hopeful that the criminal activities of the Left would be held accountable.  Marla keeps telling me I’m just dreaming because it is never going to happen.  She is probably right. 

        President Trump promised to drain the swamp, but the job appears to be too big for even him.  He might get the crooks out of office and maybe out of Washington, but it is unlikely they will ever pay for their past crimes.  What a shame.

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

New Way Forward

        The New Way Forward Act in the US House of Representatives has not gotten a lot of press but it should.  This bill has been introduced by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of her liberal left fanatical MOB.  It has been endorsed by around forty liberal Democrats. 

        This bill would totally transform our great country into a country of division and despair.  The bill puts the rights of illegal aliens above the rights and safety of working middle-class Americans. 

        The bill would make it against the law to deport illegals convicted of crimes, including felonies, who have received less than a five year prison sentence.  It gets even crazier.  It would force the government to use taxpayer money to bring back illegals previously convicted of a crime and deported.  They then would be given a path to citizenship.  

        This bill would mean open borders inviting criminals from all over the world.  It would bankrupt the country and put American citizens in danger. 

        This proposed legislation in dangerous and insane.  It is giving the finger to every law-abiding citizen.  It is a case of the WOKE left being totally ignorant, or the Democratic left being willing to devastate the country with the hopes of votes to gain power. 

        Americans have become too tolerant of other peoples’ rights, but this has to stop.  We can no longer take a chance of this type of destructive legislation sneaking through Congress.  We need to vote these idiots out of office.

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

Bait and Switch

        Bait and switch is an illegal business practice, but is still used by disreputable businesses and seldom prosecuted.  It involves advertising a product at a very attractive price and then avoiding selling the product or even having the product when the customer comes to buy it. 

        When I was a Ford/Mercury dealer, a competing dealer advertised a new Ford pickup at a price below cost.  I saw the dealer at an event and asked him if he actually had that pickup in stock.  His reply was, “Yes, but any salesperson who sells it is fired, and they all know it.” 

        He was baiting the customer to get them into the dealership and the sales person was expected the move the customer to a more expensive truck with a higher profit.  Trading-up a customer is legal, but the customer must be given the opportunity to buy the advertised product for the advertised price. 

        Businesses often get around this by putting “While supply lasts.” in the ad.  They legally had to have at least one which they sold at the advertised price. 

        Trading a customer up to a higher priced model with more profit is legal and a good sales technique.  Most good sales people do this.  It can also be good for the customer because they get a product that better fits their wants and needs. 

        Democratic Socialists use a form of bait and switch on their constituents.  They promise all kinds of free stuff.  This sounds very attractive to the people who would benefit in the short-run. 

        Canceling student debt sounds very attractive for Millennials who have large student debt.  Many have a worthless liberal arts education that gives them little or no chance of earning a living wage and paying off the debt. 

        When asked who will pay for all the free stuff, the standard response of the Democratic Socialist is, “The rich.”  The person who believes they will benefit from the free stuff does not question the lie.

        Socialism is socialism and the end result is always the same.  The people have their freedoms taken away while the government controls more and more of their lives.  The working people pay the price and any incentive to improve their lives is taken away.  In the end, everyone is reduced to poverty.  The exception is the socialist leaders who will always be living in luxury.

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