Tough Week for the President

At least that is what the Left and their partners, the main stream media would have us believe. Both are giddier than two kids about to go through the gates of Disney World. After the results of the Manafort trial and then the Cohen plea, I think that Fox News’ Sean Hannity counted the MSM using the word “impeachment” over 100 times. You have to give the MSM credit.  They are always pushing their narrative, aren’t they?

If not for the Left and the media pushing their hate-Trump agenda, an independent thinker who had heard about Manafort and Cohen would actually have had the opposite reaction to impeachment. Nothing about the Manafort trial had anything to do with Trump or the election. The charges were nothing more than an appointed (not elected) group of US Government employees veering from their assignment in order to find something against a man just to save their credibility. For me, they just ruined any credibility they had with this so called victory. Manafort was charged for crimes he committed 12 years ago, which is fine, if you break the law you should be held responsible. The problem that I have with this is that the law seems to only go against the Right side of the aisle. Where are the charges against Hillary or Comey or any of the others on the Left? They’re not even being investigated as far as I can see. What grinds me even more is how the Left and the MSM spin this so that their brain dead lazy listeners think this somehow has something to do with our President. It has zero to do with our President.

As for Cohen, the Left and the media are really having a hay day. The Democrats are now calling on a postponement of hearings for the Supreme Court nomination because they claim the Cohen plea proves the President has broken the law.  Cohen’s attorney, Lanny Davis, who is a lifelong Clinton choir boy convinced Cohen to plead guilty to breaking the law when all he did was pay off the porn star, Stormy Daniels in order to shut her up. Here’s the problem, it’s not against the law to settle disputes and it’s not against the campaign finance laws either. This should give you an idea of just how scary it is when the strong arm of the government comes after you. Cohen did break other laws.  Again, none that have anything to do with the President, but, the government had him by the balls. They threatened him with big time jail and fines. To avoid this and being torn from his family he pleaded guilty, and in return is only looking at 3-5 years in prison. The only way he was able to get that deal was to implicate the President in the whole payoff of Daniels. The man actually pleaded guilty to something that is not against the law.

Lastly, we now hear that Mueller has granted immunity to the owner of the National Inquirer and to The CFO of Trump International. Supposedly the National Inquirer has been holding several tapes (locked up in a safe) which will shine a bad light on the President. Whatever these are, the tapes were made before he was President. As the story goes, these tapes are now missing. I don’t know what they are pushing here. My guess is that they are pushing out a narrative that 1. There are tapes or 2. That somehow Trump had someone break into Inquire headquarters and steal the tapes. In either case, you get an idea of just how hard Mueller and the government are going after our President. Remember folks, this whole investigation began because of claims of Trump colluded with the Russians…

The immunity for the CFO is designed to dive into the middle of Trump’s business dealings. Giving the CFO immunity I guess, allows for greater cooperation. Just like the above, what does Trump International have to do with Russian collusion?

We are witnessing the greatest attempt to take down an American President in our life time, if not in the history of our country. No other man could have lasted as long as this President.  I am behind him to win this fight and become a two term President. No President in our lifetime has fought as hard for the people than this President.

It is so frustrating to me that so many Americans have become so lazy that they don’t even think for themselves anymore. They let the MSM do the thinking for them and just follow along like a bunch of sheep. If they just took the time to look at actual results they’d suddenly realize the MSM and the Left are pushing an anti-American narrative; The President is a criminal, no borders, illegals first and give back the tax breaks. That is their narrative. That is their vision for the country.

Trump supporters did not elect him because we thought he was an angel. There has never been an angel in the White House. Every President has had baggage. You don’t become President without a wheelbarrow load of dealings in your life. Most all politicians are an eyelash away from being scum bags as far as I am concerned. They go into office without a penny and come out of office multi-millionaires. You figure that one out.  Trump entered the office a billionaire and will leave office after two terms with less in his bank account. That will be another first with this President.

In conclusion; yes, the President had a bad week but primarily because the Left managed to contort the news about Manafort, Cohen, and the immunity deals into the President did something evil. For his supporters, the week wasn’t much different than any other. No collusion, no obstruction. He did manage to kick out the last living Nazi from the country; something that the presidents before him just let slide. Kind of funny really. The Left call him a Nazi. What’s not funny is that millions of brain dead non-thinkers hear this and believe it.

Mollie Tibbetts

For a month, we watched and prayed for a different outcome for this beautiful young woman who had disappeared. We heard and watched her father plea for help and wondered how he could even stand-up, much less speak.

This week, the story ended like so many others. They found this precious girl’s lifeless body lying in a Iowa corn field. We learned that she had been killed by yet another illegal alien. Alien, not immigrant, alien.

I don’t even begin to pretend what her parents and friends are feeling right now. Their lives have been turned upside; down never to be as it once was.

There are many, too many murders in this country every day. The fact that this one and so many others was preventable makes it so much harder to accept. It makes me so mad and so sad it is difficult to put into words.

Even having learned about this sad moment the politics kept going.  It always does. It is hard to understand why so many of our fellow citizens are apparently so opposed to increasing their safety. We finally have a President that has made it one of his top priorities. He wants to build a wall to help protect us from illegal entry into our country, to help slow the flow of drugs, and to stop the human trafficking.  Yet those in the opposing party dislike him so much that they are willing to put us at risk rather than agree to help. Even worse, by their actions, they openly put non-citizens ahead of citizens. They want this President gone.  They want it so badly that they are willing to do and say anything to accomplish their goal. Simply said, it’s power and politics over the health and safety of those they are elected to serve.

On CNN, Elizabeth Warren said, in reference to Mollie Tibbett’s being murdered, “I know this is hard for the family, but they have to remember that we need to focus on the real problems, like illegals not being separated from their families.”  She made this statement without remorse. Doesn’t she know that an American child has been separated from her family permanently? Sure she does, but she and so many others on the Left could not miss an opportunity to                                                                                          be on television and take a swipe at                                                                                      the President.

When a guest contributor on MSNBC was speaking about the death of Mollie, she said, “Instead of focusing on some girl in Iowa, we should be talking about the fact that two key people in the Trump Administration were just found guilty.” Some girl in Iowa… That is what an American life means to this woman. I read this on twitter. I responded by saying I am sure this black contributor doesn’t spend any time talking about the many deaths occurring every day in Chicago either. It’s obvious that American lives are not important to these people.  What is important to them is getting us to believe how horrible our President is.

When we get to a point that our elected officials no longer place the health and safety of the people who elected them over everything else, we can be sure that America as we know it is gone.

I am what one would describe as, a political junkie. I am reading and watching everything political for many, many hours per day, seven days a week. I can honestly share with you that I cannot give you a single name of a single democrat in congress that has done or said anything to make me believe they care about us. It is all “down with Trump”, and protect the illegals.

According to the reports, this illegal alien has been in the country for five or more years. During his first hearing today he had an interpreter. So, either he was doing what so many of these people do, faking it or he has been in the country for all those years and still doesn’t speak English. Based on his age he would be one of Obama’s so called dreamers. President Trump was right when he said “Trust me, they (Mexico, Central America) aren’t sending us their best and brightest.”

How many more deaths at the hands of an illegal alien must we endure until we allow the President to help make us safer? The wall isn’t the end-all solution; but if Mollie was your daughter and the wall could have kept this man out of the country, wouldn’t you want it built?

Rest in peace dear Mollie. I am so very sorry this happened to you and so sorry that we’ve let you and your family down. You had so much life left to give. Please forgive us and know we will honor your life by fighting for others. God Bless You. You are not some girl in Iowa, you are Mollie Tibbetts, a beautiful young American.

Tough Week for th Dems

It is not nice to kick someone when they’re down and if I thought, even for one minute, anyone on the Left would agree with that, I wouldn’t be so quick to point out the utter failures promulgated by the Left this week.

In no particular order, I’ll start with the far Left governor of New York, Mr. Cuomo. Every now and then, someone has a slip of the tongue and they give us a glimpse into their true feelings. During a speech this week, Cuomo, when speaking about President Trump’s “Make American Great” platform, he said, and I quote “America has never been that great.”  Even his far Leftist hate America audience gasped at this, some even booed. Governor Cuomo has spent every day since then attempting to explain his comment away. News Flash: It’s not working Governor.

It is, and always has been my honest opinion, that most of the democrats feel as Cuomo feels. They just haven’t come right out and said it. Remember when Obama was President and was asked if he thought America was exceptional? Very aggravated by the question, he responded in a very nonchalant manner; “Yes I think America is exceptional, just as other countries think their country is exceptional.”  I translated that to what he really said which was, “No, we are no more exceptional than any other country.” Just remember, he was the President of the United States.  Cuomo’s comment is now being compared to Hillary’s famous “Basket of Deplorables”.  If you don’t know what that is then none of this means anything to you.

As for Cuomo, that slip of the tongue will not age well.

At the start of the week, Hillary jumped onto twitter to applaud an 11 year girl who chose to kneel during the national Anthem at her school. Ms. “I wanted to be President”, lying Hillary, congratulated the young girl for standing up (you know what I mean) for what she believes. This is just another example of the Left not loving or respecting America.  As for the kid, I don’t know about you, but when I was 11, I was more interested in catching crawdads, riding my bike and trading soda bottles in for money so that I could buy a popsicle than in making any political statement. Does anyone want to guess where her parents stand when it comes to America? The most amazing part of this story was hearing that the teacher was upset by the girl’s action. That gives me some hope. Way to go Teach!

Early in the week, some hundred-plus newspapers joined together to unite against the President for what they believe is his promotion to get rid of free speech. I know what you’re thinking; they continued to do what they always do.  Like they always do, they took a comment he made last week where he accused fake news of being the enemy of the people. Where have you heard that before? The media turned that statement into the President saying “The media is the enemy of the people” and they left out the part about fake news” being the enemy. Sadly, this is what millions upon millions of Americans heard when they stupidly tuned into any one of the main stream media shows last week. Perfect example of fake news, the very thing they are outraged over.

That was a long way around the bush; bringing us to the next thing that happened this week which gives the Left/Dems another black eye and further points out their obvious hypocritical behavior.

The Left’s new super star, Cortez; she’s the young women who won the midterm primary election over a 10 year senate democrat. Ms. Cortez has since become famous because she has openly favored America becoming a socialist country. She’s gained a lot of attention on the Right as someone with very shallow depth of knowledge. In several interviews since winning, she has been unable to answer fairly basic questions. This week she held a town hall meeting in New York and guess what she did? She banned all media from attending and covering the meeting.  E.g. she was against free speech. Don’t worry though, none of the main stream media nor will any of the hundred plus newspapers cover this story so she’s good…

To wrap-up this post, probably the worst part of the Democrat’s week came when the President’s approval rating hit 50% which is several points higher than Obama’s approval was at the same time in his Presidency. Even more damaging than that is his jump to 36% approval among the Black American community. That is huge! Only 14% voted for him. Many say that if the President gets 25% of the black vote in 2020 his opponents are toast.

Oh well Democrats, one week doesn’t make a year. Keep swinging and maybe, just maybe you’ll have a good week very soon. If it helps at all, to score a victory it would be in your best interest to at least pretend you love America. It would also help if you developed some sort of platform that actually puts the American citizen ahead of illegals, terrorists, kneeling millionaire football players, and plastic straws. Oh, and get treatment for your TDS.

The NFL – Here We Go Again

On Thursday the new 2018 NFL season began.  It began the same way it ended, with players making personal statements by kneeling and holding their fists in the air. This of course caused the President to weigh-in and well, like I said. “Here we go again.”

This has gone on for so long now that I am not sure if anyone even knows what the player’s beef is anymore. If you ask, most people would say that the players have a beef with the police. They claim that the black community is treated poorly. Others will tell you that it’s about Colin Kaepernick not getting hired; because he started all of this. Translation, the NFL Owners are being racist for not hiring a player who has caused so much loss and bad press for the NFL. Having said that, what most people will say is that they don’t like or appreciate the players kneeling for the anthem and feel it is un-American and dishonors our service men and women.

As with most political topics, the Left and MSM back the players and their right to protest. The Right do not back the players.  The Right’s position is America first, honor the country and the flag and protest on your own time. Guess which side I fall into?

Having run a company for most of my working life, I can tell you that this wouldn’t happen more than one time.  The very first time one of my team members decided to make a personal political statement on my dime, they would be looking for another company to earn their dime.

Why the NFL and the Owners allow this bad negative press to continue is puzzling to me. They know it is hurting their pocket books.  They know their viewership has dropped off for the past two years. They know it takes away from the game, yet they continue to struggle as to how to stop it. More than likely, it is the player’s union that stands in their way. Good ole unions.

Never the less, union or no union, the NFL and the Owners should come out with a united message and put a stop to the nonsense. Tell the union and the players that they will no longer allow this to continue.  Put the players on notice, that anyone breaking policy will be suspended without pay and fired if they repeat the behavior.

I realize that talk is cheap.  The owners have to be willing to back up their ultimatum.  If they do that, the problem will go away after the first Sunday and the owners who follow through will enjoy hearing from millions of Americans who show their gratitude, not to mention a likely boost in ticket sales.

The union will threaten law suits and the players will scream racism which is nothing different than what they are doing right now.

Once the dust settles, I would be interested to see exactly what the players do to continue what they would have us believe is the very important message that they are attempting to send to the country. I have no reason to believe we will hear any more about it. Did you hear anything about their plight during the off season? Me either, but if you put a camera in front of them and give them an audience (on someone else’s dime), look out!

Now before you accuse me of being against free speech let me be clear. I am all for free speech. Just exercise it on your own time, not mine.

 

Vote Damn it!

On Tuesday voters went to the polls to cast their ballots in Ohio for an open House seat previously held by a Republican.

The republican candidate was trailing his democratic opponent by double digits. Thanks to the President, who held a rally last week for the republican candidate, the race became a near tie going into Election Day.

The republican squeaked out a lead with less than a 2,000 vote difference. The state is now counting absentee ballots which could sway the election to the Democrat. The general opinion is that the Republican will maintain his lead and go on to be declared the winner. As they say though, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings.

A republican has held this seat in Ohio for many decades, so why suddenly was this race so close? The answer is turnout. The Democrats turned out their voters in much greater numbers than the Republicans. This is the exact same thing that gave us Obama for a second term.

In many ways, this mid-term election may be the most important mid-term election of our lifetime. It certainly is every bit as important as the last Presidential election.

The people did what almost no one thought was possible by electing President Trump. Remember there were no polls who gave the President a chance of winning.  But, the American silent majority came out and voted; turning the election over to the President and half of the country is still in denial over this.

I am very disappointed in the electorate. We are flirting with complete disaster by not getting out the vote and not voting period. My guess is that many Republicans committed the ultimate sin. They “assumed” the Republican would win this race because a Republican has held the seat for so long. We all know what assume means and it couldn’t be truer than in this case.

We did all this work to get the President elected. We beat all the odds and put this President into office. The President is making good on his promises thus there is nothing for us to complain about.  Yet, by not voting we are actually voting against the President that we just elected.

Just think about it. If the Republicans had a super majority in congress we would be much, much further down the road to Making America Great Again. With a super majority we would have already over turned Obamacare. We would have a new, improved immigration law. The wall would be much further along. The tax cuts would be permanent, the second Supreme Court nominee would have already been approved and infrastructure improvements would be in process.

Instead we are stuck in the same old Washington DC deep state mud because we don’t have enough Republicans in the Senate to allow the President’s agenda items to pass.

We owe it to ourselves and the President to get out the vote, to get off the sofa and make the effort. We need to encourage our families, our friends and co-workers to vote. Our country depends upon it. We learned in the last election that our vote does matter. To sit back now and not vote is simply unacceptable.

The Left are on a mission to destroy our Republic. They have clearly shown us what they stand for and trust me, it’s not for you or me or America in general. At every turn they stand for everything that is anti-America and anti-Trump. They want open borders even though not a week goes by where an illegal kills one of our own. They want to eliminate ICE, whose single mandate is to keep us safe. They want socialism even when they cannot point to any example where socialism has worked.  In fact, in every case it has been a complete failure and a disaster for the people who are forced to live that way. They want to and will impeach the President if they gain control in Congress. That’s very clear.

I implore all of you to find out when your state primary elections are scheduled and make plans to vote and to get the word out to all those around you to do the same. This is so important. This is our time to stand up and be counted. Don’t assume anything.  Get this done. It is important for all of us. We may never again have a President like this one who is not a politician and who is willing to fix so many wrongs in our Government. We must give him the power he needs to do the work of the people, not the work of the Government. Don’t treat this like just another election.  It is not.  It is the most important election in your lives.

Well Done Beats Well Said

So over and over when talking about politics and specifically the President, I hear “I mean, I like him but don’t you think his tweets are stupid?”  One could argue that the main stream media makes a living off of his tweets, broadcasting every one of them and then spinning them to mean something other than what the President said. Millions of non-Trump supporters will tell you that Trump is a racist and hates the gay community, but I dare you to show me a tweet or something he said that validates these accusations.

His haters, when pressed on the racist accusation, will quote the President’s speech during the election, when he said, “many” of the people coming into the country are murderers, human traffickers and drug dealers. The haters conveniently leave out the word “many.” As you know, many does not mean all.

To all the Trump haters and even those of you who are on the fence, I will repeat my favorite quote, “Well done always beats well said.” If you continue to struggle with the President’s words or just his tweets, set those aside and take a look at his actions. While his supporters love his tweets and cheer at his rallies, it is his accomplishments they most admire.

If you are like the vast majority of Americans, you don’t even know what his accomplishments are. All you really know is what you hear on one of the fake news networks, in an article you stumbled across, one of the many liberal newspapers you’ve read, or surfing online at Amazon for the next great pair of shoes, or purse or both. Free shipping and all…

Here are just some of his accomplishments. All fact, no spin.

Not bad, huh? And this is an older list compiled after his first few months in office.  That list doesn’t include:

  • Lowest black unemployment in history
  • Lowest Hispanic unemployment in history
  • Lowest female unemployment in 17 years
  • Highest GDP growth in four years
  • Nomination of second constitutional conservative to the Supreme Court
  • Return of 14 hostages
  • Return of 50 fallen soldiers from North Korea
  • First American President to meet with North Korea’s leader
  • Secured a written pledge from North Korea to dismantle their nuclear program
  • Secured tax cuts across the board
  • Secured billions to rebuild our military
  • Withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal
  • Moved the US Embassy to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem
  • Stood up for our flag and the national anthem
  • Brought back the steel industry
  • Secured drilling rights in Alaska
  • Put the word “Christmas” back into Christmas
  • Works for free donating his salary every month to causes important to him and the country

These are accomplishments just off the top of my head. I know these to be factual because I pay attention, not to his tweets so much but to the results of his actions.

Are there items on these lists you disagree with or just don’t like? Maybe, but tell me, what “perfect” person do you know?  Why didn’t they run for President? For the record, I am 100% in favor of every single accomplishment on the lists.

The President ran on all of these and once again, just as he tweets like no other President in history he also makes good on his campaign promises like no other President.  His tweets tell us what’s on his mind, his actions tell us what’s in his heart.

Earlier this week, he held one of his now famous rallies in Tampa, Florida. CNN’s Jim Acosta was there broadcasting live. While Jim was on air the supporters in the crowd chanted, “CNN sucks.” To hear CNN and the rest of the MSM tell it, this was a very angry crowd. “It didn’t feel like I was in America” said Mr. Acosta. That’s because this is no longer Obama’s America.  This is “our” America and we are done with the MSM constant lying and Liberal activists. If you don’t like what the President is doing, I suggest you tweet him. Don’t worry, he will respond and we will more than enjoy his response.

Actions speak louder than words. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Never say “whoa” in a hard pull and when all else fails, do something, anything.   Doing ALWAYS beats saying.
