Month: April 2018

Floating around as I do each night on twitter, a couple of things jumped out to me. The first; everyone, and when I say everyone I am referring to all the conservatives, Trump Train riders, MAGA devotees, all those people who are like me, can’t post enough about Kanye West coming out of the closet with support for the President.  The second thing was just an innocent tweet about one of the reporters at CNN.  According to the Trump Train, conservative MAGA devotees, this reporter said that Comey is in a lot of trouble and that others in the FBI are now turning on him.

Here’s my beef.  Maybe it’s just me and the way I roll, but I don’t feel we should get to pick-n-choose based on whether the story or the report fits our narrative. In the case of Kanye West, I think it’s awesome that a black American (I’d rather just say American but I guess I have to use “black” to make the point), supports our President. What I disagree with is this.  Just because some celebrity supports someone that I like, that person suddenly becomes credible. Here’s my point.  We can’t scream at every liberal, Trump hating celebrity and tell them to stick with acting or singing or whatever, and then suddenly, when one of them says something we like, automatically cheer about how smart they are and how credible they are. I just don’t think it works that way. Don’t misunderstand me, the more people that we can pull over to our way of thinking, the better and welcome aboard. My beef is with people who want it both ways. The people who say that celebrities and wealthy elitists don’t have a clue about how ordinary Americans live when those celebrities hate Trump, but Kanye West is great, smart, and so cool because he likes Trump. Huh?

My opinion on this is the same with regard to the CNN story. We yell at the top of our lungs FAKE NEW, FAKE NEWS and put down every story that they report. We believe nothing they have to say related to the President, politics, FBI, guns and so on. Then, suddenly, like the Kayne West story, they (CNN) report something we like and we are believers. I don’t think so. My twitter follower made it sound like the CNN story had to be true because CNN reported it. I don’t get it. By the way, this tweeter got hundreds of likes and retweets from likeminded Trump supporters.

Like I said, maybe it’s just me. If I claim that I don’t give a hoot what any celebrity has to say about the President or politics or the world in general then that’s it.  That’s where I stand. I can appreciate those who support the people or things that I support, but their support shouldn’t make them more credible. Same with fake news, until everything they report is honest, one story that I happen to agree with will not change how I feel about them.

I suppose I am just being too critical. I can certainly understand how others could get excited about hearing, for once, a celebrity liking our President or a Fake News organization suddenly tripping over the truth. I get it.  I just don’t ever want to be like the leftist liberal democrats. I don’t want to be hypocritical.

Kayne got his hat signed, I’m jealous!

Like most political junkies, I scan the internet throughout the day; watch television news, and frequent twitter to take it all in.  As I wade through it, knowing some is fake news, some is true, and decide what I actually believe, I am continually amazed with the two very different sides of nearly all subjects. We live, arguably, in the second most divided times in our history. Only during the civil war was our country this divided. Being a conservative, I of course lay the blame directly on the shoulders of past President Obama and I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Those of us who claim to be true patriots have deep beliefs that Mr. Obama set our country back 50 years relating to race relations and the overall meaning of what America is. Obama left us with a country with few values. During his administration everything became okay except standing up for who we are as Americans. Everything that depicted who we are (were) was moved out of the main stream and into the realm of outcast and hatred. The country was founded on Christian principles yet Christians were viewed as evil. Eight years of the past administration turned everything up-side-down. When Mr. Obama said in a speech he would fundamentally change America, he meant it.  That was his greatest, albeit, negative, achievement.

After eight years, Americans who don’t normally speak out, Americans who have always been known for keeping their head down, working hard, paying their taxes, rolling with the punches and those who cherish their Christian values could no longer stand by and watch the systematic dismantling of their beloved America. Once the fundamental changes started to affect their families and their Christian way of life, their voices had to be heard. First, the Republicans took back the House of Representatives. Then they (Patriots) paused and watched for two more years.  Disappointed with the lack of directional change, they turned the Senate over to the Republicans with the hope that things would move back to the center and many of the changes would be reversed. Well, no move to the center and no reversal of the fundamental change.  So, the so-called silent majority stayed home and allowed Obama to be reelected in 2012. By the time Obama’s eight years were over that same silent majority rose up and rejected all of the Washington norms. No Clinton, no Jeb Bush, not even a Tea Party Senator named Ted Cruz. The silent majority took the gloves off and elected someone with no Washington political experience. In came billionaire Donald J. Trump and a divided country became even more divided.

Fast forward to today, a year and half after the President took office.  Those of us on the Right are feeling positive about the future of the country.  Those on the Left have spent every day doing anything they could to destroy the President. Admittedly, we on the Right wanted Obama out.  But, and this is important, we never wanted to see America fail. We disliked Obama in a major way but we never screamed impeachment; we just screamed about his policies and the laws that he broke. We knew he was our President.  We acknowledge that.  We didn’t like it but we knew we only have one President at a time and so we suffered through those eight years. The Left however refuse to give the President any credit for anything. I’m sorry to say, the Left does not believe that Trump is their President.  They are willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means harming the nation, to have him removed from office and not by waiting for the next election.  They want him out yesterday and by any means. They will and have lied and cheated at every turn for the last year and a half. It continues and won’t stop. It’s pretty incredible really. The Left and their partners the main stream media continue to be ruthless.

One of the biggest complaints the Right has is the lack of equal justice. The President has been handicapped with the made up Russia-collusion story while corrupt leaders on the Left continue to walk freely. Those within our law agencies will never regain American’s trust unless real and honest justice is served upon those who, quite frankly, have abused our country. In my opinion, the main culprits that must face justice are Obama, Hillary, Holder, Rice, Lynch, Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Page, Shultz, Clapper and Brennan.

This week we are finally starting to see hope that real justice could come. This is extremely satisfying.  If President Trump can accomplish nothing more during his presidency than ensuring equal justice is applied, he will go down as the President who saved America and restored our legal justice system. This truly is a “future possibility” and one that this writer prays for. Only by Trump winning the presidency has all of this injustice been exposed. A Hillary Presidency would have truly been the final nail in the American Justice System’s coffin. Trump said he would put America first.  15 months later, after having endured hell inside the Washington beltway, he continues to move forward to deliver our country back to the American people; the people who still believe in our flag, our families, our rule of law, and our freedom.  What a huge undertaking. So much to restore, so much to change and there is no question it is a battle every single day. Fight on Mr. President, fight on.

This past Sunday the President authorized another military strike on Syria.  The leader, Assad, according to us, British and French Intel used chemical weapons on his people AGAIN. Remember he did this during the Obama administration also. Prior to that, Obama drew the, now famous, red line.  He said that the use of chemical weapons would be a red line. Assad tested Obama by doing just that.  Obama did nothing. Within the first month of the Trump Presidency, Assad gassed his people and Trump dropped America’s biggest non-nuclear bomb on Syria which let Assad and the world know that he is not Obama and a red line is a red line.

One week prior to the last bombing, the President surprised everyone by announcing that he wanted to pull all US troops out of Syria and soon. So, when he announced that he would be calling for action this past week, many hammered him, saying that he has no policy and doesn’t know what he is doing. No surprise there. As you know, the Left, the media and even some of the swamp Republicans leave no opportunity to take a shot at the President.

This time however, even some of the Trump supporters weren’t happy and shared their displeasure over this decision to retaliate. “We didn’t elect you to start another war,” was the common theme of his supporters.

This time, Russia warned the US that if we attempted to bomb Syria they would shoot our missiles down. This of course only fueled the Left’s fire and like they always do, they hit the air waves with “Trump is going to start WWIII.”

I will admit that I was not pleased with this idea either and that the Russian threat gave me pause.  However, I reminded myself of something that I have always believed.  The only way to stop a bully is to be a bigger bully. We dare not stand idle just because Russian threatens us.  That is exactly when we must do something. Another factor in all of this; is the worldwide message that we would be sending if Trump had backed down. The world’s view of the US, and specifically the President would have shifted if Trump had blinked. More importantly is the message this sends to North Korea and China.

As you know, due to Trump’s tough stance against North Korea, they are requesting talks and have told others they are willing to discuss the removal of their nuclear program. Allowing Assad to gas his people again without any response would have sent a strong message to North Korea that Trump isn’t quite as tough as he acts.

More often than not, these types of actions are about much more than what the eye can see. The world is a big place with many characters continually testing us. Poking the bear if you will. Remember, every bully is tested.

While the Left used every degrading accusation they could against Trump (He’s doing this because he wants us to forget about the raid on his lawyer or Stormy Daniels, or whatever), I believe Trump did this, not because he wanted to, but because he had to in order to maintain his reputation of being a tough leader who won’t back down. My honest opinion is that Trump didn’t want to do this and wished Assad hadn’t tested him again and that he truly does want to pull our troops out.  Let’s see if the swamp manages to talk him out of that.

In the end, over 100 missiles were launched hitting all three targets as planned. None were shot down and in fact Russia didn’t even attempt to shoot them down. They were too busy relocating their ships out of the area. Assad attempted but wasn’t successful. No civilian lives were taken nor did we have any losses except for 100 million dollars’ worth of Tomahawks.

On Monday, Trump announced “Mission Accomplished.”  This, of course, supplied the Left with another opportunity to hammer him. “Mission accomplished, what was the mission?” was their theme this time. As they always do, they make every attempt to scare the American people into believing the world is coming to an end and that the President is out of control.

Simple minded me and many others viewed the statement for what it was meant to be. The mission was to take out these three chemical weapon plants, not kill any civilians or lose any American lives and return home safely. The mission was accomplished.

Let’s face it; the Never-Trump crowd will always be the Never-Trump crowd just as the Trump supporters will never stop being supporters.

So, not surprisingly, I support the action that the President took this past Sunday. While we’ve all grown tired of fighting and killing and spending, there will always be people in this world that will have it no other way. If America doesn’t lead and stand up for people who are brutalized by their governments, who will? Our role as the world’s only hope is costly but important.

Tonight we learned that the FBI raided President Trump’s personal attorney’s (Cohen) office, apartment and home. We don’t yet know what they claim to have found or think they have on the attorney, but it was enough to get a New York Federal Judge to sign off on it.

I am so beside myself tonight I wanted to write while the steam is still coming out of my ears and eyes.

I and so many other Trump supporters are so sick and tired of all of this witch hunt. For over a year this Mueller has been snooping and digging and what has he uncovered? Nothing related to the original collusion charges. Yet, this nightmare continues. This is bad for the country and should no longer be tolerated. Either shit or get off the pot Mueller. Millions of dollars later and nothing.

I’m tired of it all. The whole country is divided while we throw darts at each other as we wait for this big Mueller report. We’re also waiting on the so called Independent inspector general report.  We’re waiting on 1.9 million documents from the FBI, and we’re waiting on the original FISA warrant that started this whole collusion investigation. Waiting, waiting, waiting. It’s bullshit. These people work for us.  What do we have to do to get these people to do their jobs?

At this point, I wish the President would fire them all and just start over. Fire Mueller, Fire Rob Rosenstein, and Director Wray, fire Jeff Sessions and give this inspector general until the end of the week to file his report or fire him too.

Mueller raids Trumps attorney, but Hillary, was her office raided? Was her so called attorney’s office raided? Did anything happen when she deleted 30,000 emails after she was told not to? She wasn’t even sworn in when she was interviewed. This is the biggest rigged-up scam of all time. Just a huge cover up and one sided Washington middle finger to the American people.

If this raid has anything to do with the porn star I swear I will come out of my shoes. He wasn’t President when this occurred. It has nothing to do with anything.

It’s time for the so called silent majority to get up off their butts and make their voices heard. We need to send a signed petition to Washington from millions of Trump supporters.  We need to demand that Mueller’s crack pot, money wasting investigation is canceled and throw him out onto the curb. We need to demand that the people who are still in the FBI, and played a role in this are fired and maybe go to jail. Because, we also need to demand a second independent counsel to once and for all conduct a full and honest investigation into Obama and Clinton. If they’re innocent, fine.  It’s doubtful, but fine. I’m filled with too much hate to be fair, so let the law do what the law is supposed to do. By the way, this second investigation doesn’t need to take a year either.

We have a President, elected by the people who has a full plate; dealing with the border, Syria, Iran, North Korea, Trade, Russia and the leftist main stream media.  Instead, he has to also endure this made up fake witch hunt too. The Democrats want to impeach him because they don’t like him and many in his own party are so buried in their own personal elections and donors they too are a part of the so called swamp – only making his job that much more difficult.

Enough is enough. It’s time for us to support our President.  That doesn’t mean sending another tweet. If we unite, we will have millions of signatures. A bit disappointing in that I made this suggestion via twitter to the thousands of so called President supporters, MAGA, KAG, etc. and I got two replies saying they are reading to sign the petition. Talk is cheap folks.

If millions of signatures doesn’t get Washington to act then welcome to the second civil war. In reality, we’re already at war. We elected a President to do what he said he would do and everyone in Washington are doing everything they can to stop him.  It’s not right.

15 months and counting with our new President and the Left still haven’t a clue as to why he won in the first place. I know this to be true based on how they react to everything the President does. It’s also true that Trump could cure cancer tomorrow and the Left would demand an investigation as to why he waited so long. It’s an all-out “hate Trump” war for the Left.

They and their partners in the main stream media slammed him over his brash hard remarks to North Korea. He called the leader Rocket Man and the Left went wild. “He is an embarrassment”, they screamed. Fast forward just a few months, the Korean leader requests a meeting with the President.  He told South Korea that he is willing to discuss complete destruction of their nuke program.  Furthermore, he said that he understands that the joint U.S. and South Korean military training drills and current heavy sanctions will continue.

No other President has ever had the courage to take a hard line and mean what they’ve said.  Every President, before Trump has handed our tax dollars to NK in an attempt to buy their way into the North’s favor.  Still, the Left cannot seem to give any praise to this President for actually wanting to do something to stop NK while giving them nothing in the process. IF this president is successful and it’s a big IF, this will be nearly as amazing as curing cancer. Will the Left finally get it, will they finally give in and admit this President loves America? Hell no.

One of Trumps main talking points during the election was trade.  He talked about how unfair it is, how so many countries take advantage of us and how he didn’t blame those countries.  He explained that they are just smarter than our leaders. He ran on fixing the trade deficits.

He gets elected and after a busy first year, he dives into fixing trade. Both Mexico and Canada are on notice to change NAFTA or be prepared to have the US walk out. He then moved his sights to South Korea, who has now promised to play fair. Now he is in the middle of negotiations with the big one, China. He throws out a threat.  They come back with a bigger threat.  He doesn’t back down.  He doubles down and promises to apply tariffs amounting to $150 billion.  That is more than China counter-threat.

Meanwhile, the Left, Wall Street and the MSM are freaking out.  They say that the world as we know it is about to come to an end. Of course, even the Left and Wall Street, in fact everyone agrees that China has never played fair and have been totally hosing us and every company who does business with them. Even past Presidents have complained of unfair treatment. Yet none have taken this on. Why? Because they are afraid of their own shadows and honestly, they don’t know how to be strong and believe in the strength of the USA.  The Left simply cannot believe the President is doing this.  They don’t even understand why he is doing it because in their minds he has so much to lose. Again, they simply have no clue.

Trade and cheating tariffs remind me of bullies. When I was a freshman in high school there was a kid who was a known bully. Every school has at least one. Nearly every day, when I would to the snack machine to buy chocolate milk and warm chocolate chip cookie, this kid would show up and bully the other kids for their money.  Before he was done, someone always handed over their snack money. I’ll be honest, there were some days that I would see the bully at the vending machines and I would just walk away and forego the snack. Then my day came.  After watching so many other kids cower and hand over their money, I wasn’t having it. When he approached me, all 5’6″ of me, I turned and faced him.  With the angriest, most pissed-off expression, and tough talk that I could muster, and before he could say a word, I said “You’re not getting my money and get the fuck away from me.” (Sorry for the language.) Thankfully, he turned and walked away. I was shaking but he never approached me again and I again never went without my chocolate milk and cookie.

The moral of the story, the only way to overcome a bully is to be a bigger bully. That’s exactly what our President is doing with China and others. Like any of us, he would prefer to have these countries play fair and he would be more than happy to do the same. Sadly, life doesn’t operate that way.

Finally, there is immigration. This was another big part of his campaign. Everyone knows he ran on building a wall, putting Americans first, stopping illegal immigration and all of the bad things that come with it (MS13, drugs, jobs, tax payer funds, etc). Based in part on these campaign promises, the American people elected Trump.  Once again, the Left and their partners, the MSM call him a racist and every other name in the book. Even (not surprising) his own party on the Right have been less than helpful. When he learned about a caravan of nearly 1500 people heading for the US from south of the border, what does he do? He sends in the military to help the border patrol with security. Other Presidents have done the same thing but in this case, the Left will not stand for this President doing it. Out comes the word racist again and the bleeding heart liberals accuse him of having no compassion. It’s sad really because most Hispanics actually think the Left cares about them. They do not, they care about your vote.

Do you find it as amazing as I do that the Left actually hates Trump for protecting our border? Think about that for a few minutes.

The Federal Government has a law suit pending against the State of California over their sanctuary city law. Speaking of amazing, can you even believe California refuses to work with ICE?  They are refusing to inform ICE when a criminal illegal is released from jail. How does this protect legal California citizens and how does this not endanger all of America? The Left wants to take our guns away but they are not interested in deporting illegal criminals who have committed felonies, including, murder. You know why, don’t you? It’s because guns don’t vote. You know how I feel about voter ID…

What the Left still doesn’t get, is that we elected President Trump because we want him to do the very things he is doing. We want a President that stands up for us and who isn’t afraid to do what’s right for our individual citizens and the country as a whole. We like that he is taking on China and we’re not afraid of the outcome.  In fact, we are fully prepared to support the President by paying higher prices for some goods. We want our country to be treated fairly or, just like in our personal lives, we will take our business elsewhere. This is a philosophy that the Left simply doesn’t understand.

The President ran on building a wall, putting Americans first and deporting criminals. Same as above, we elected him because that’s what we want too. We are sick and tired of being overrun by illegals and we are really tired of watching our Government provide them, via our tax dollars, with benefits we don’t get.

As for North Korea, ISIS, Iran, you name the evil, we elected a President that will not bow before other world leaders and if he draws a red line you sure as hell better not cross it because he will do what he said he will do. He proved that during the first few months he was in office, when he dropped the mother of all bombs on Syria for using chemical weapons. Something Obama said he would do but never did.

While the Left continues to live in their Liberal world and continues to believe that American didn’t really want President Trump, our President keeps plowing forward and standing by his promises; which in itself is historical. The millions of us who voted for him continue to be both impressed and thankful.

I can imagine the President sitting in the oval office by himself, shaking his head in disgust regarding the amount of corruption and downright stupidity that goes on in Washington. Like so many of us, he wasn’t on the inside. Now that he is able to see everything, he probably would like to burn the whole place down and start over. The Left still doesn’t get it, but we do.
