The Failing News
Opinion March 7, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
We are witness to the subtle but sure unraveling of the mediocre medias carefully constructed propaganda machine that has long assumed the duty of being the Democrat Party’s defenders and apologists in all things nefarious, sneaky, illegal, unscrupulous, & etc.. Their lies are catching up to them. Shakespeare knew about it when he wrote: “Oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive.” They are also the attacks dogs to any challenge.
On 20 January, Mick Schmidt, a NY Times columnist, wrote that the government had wire taped Trumps associates as part of an investigation to determine what criminal connections, if any, Trumps associates may have had with Russian banks. That inquiry turned up absolutely nothing. Obama’s administration then, supposedly, continued their intrusion under rules that govern foreign intelligence operations as a ruse to continue collecting data on Trump.
Yesterday, NYT journalist, Mike Schmidt, after Trump tweeted that Trump Tower had been wire taped by Obama, absolutely denied any wire tap had occurred. What story will he stick to?
On the same issue, this weekend, the recent past DNI, James Clapper, said “I can deny it,” There was no wiretap activity directed against President Donald Trump or his campaign by the Obama administration. Yes, this is the same James Clapper that told a Congressional Committee, under oath, that the NSA did not monitor domestic communications of American citizens when we know they did. Also jumping in with denials was the Quisling FBI Director, James Comey, issuing a statement rejecting Trumps assertions.
Then the Democrats brightest illuminary, the always incredible Nancy, the Botox Queen, Pelosi opined, like she had any clue at all, that “It’s called a wrap-up smear,” “You make up something. Then you have the press write about it. And then you say, everybody is writing about this charge. It’s a tool of an authoritarian.” Well, that settles it for sure. We can always rely of Nancy.
What is evident here is a massive Democrat exercise in misdirection. Trump’s allegation has probably hit close to home because there is already an extensive list of victims of the Obama administrations electronic intrusions. James Rosen and Sheryl Atkinson come immediately to mind as does German Fuehrer, Angela Merkel who, among others, was hacked. The list goes on, but the vehemence of the Democrat defensive respond, as opposed to continuing the attack on Jeff Sessions, highly suggests Trump might just be right. He does have a better record for being right than the Democrats, doesn’t he?
I believe Donald Trump really understands what’s trivial and uses his trivial “tweets” as a sword point pricking his enemies in their body politic. Democrats, when confronted as Trump has done, strikes back like a rattlesnake claiming his tweets to be phony conspiracy theories. They hope, the mediocre media will dampen down the claims as false, consign them to the trash can and move on to be soon forgotten,.…until Trump tweets again. It’s a splendid exercise in the use of Propaganda. Those who use it to persuade the populace against their best interests create myths they pose as conventional wisdom. Lies and myths then become accepted. Most folks readily accept what they believe to be conventional wisdom and shrug off challenges to it.
Counting on the help from the mediocre media, the Left inevitably wins. George Orwell said: “Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” He’s right, of course. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (07Mar17)
Our Communication Problems
Opinion February 21, 2017
Opinion by George McClellan:
Our propagandizing lying media fills our airways, Internet and news journals with photos of crowds of demented, but youthful, protesters demanding that Muslims be allowed entry into the US wholesale because, apparently, we love them and we need them and Islam is really a religion of peace. Being Never-Trump is their excuse to hit the streets on Presidents Day.
These mostly young people, supposedly still students because we can see they have the time to protest but don’t hold a job, are the voluntary front line troops of Obama’s “shadow government,” guided mainly by impulse emotions like compassion. That’s the big con. The photos we see show mostly white faces of kids who have been made to feel guilty for being white, egged on by Black Lives Matter faces, ready to draw blood if necessary.
They are anti-trump only because they don’t know any better. Our schools long ago were infiltrated by the philosophy of Karl Marx, their final grand achievement to have been the 2016 election of Hillary Clinton. Hillary, and the Marxist left, lost probably their most important election ever and an alarmed America is catching on to the dangers.
The press is decidedly anti-Trump because he is a creature not of their making and they can’t control him or his message. All reports from the left is now disorganized, hysterical lies. For example, why is it that everything President Trump does is interpreted as being against the Intelligence Agencies? They give Trump no respect for what he has accomplished in a month and fail to even mention the still unimaginable mess he inherited from Obama’s whose spies are still working in place in many agencies, some thoroughly infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood, who won’t be easily displaced with cries of racism and Islamophobia ringing in the air..
The media’s clear and obvious disdain for the President and their unequivocal loyalty to Obama is no longer confusing. Implicit in that is the fact that the MSM has actually become unAmerican and are all in for Socialism and the New World Order. They are involving themselves, not as a disinterested but fair press, but as important actors in the play. They’ve chosen sides.
They fail to give Americans credit for realizing what’s really going on, but, we do. We know what they are doing and we know why they are doing it. Obama’s treasonous acts (billions to Iran), as well as Hillary’s RICO ridden Foundation that stole billions from Haiti’s relief effort, also garnered additional millions in “pay to play” donations from countries willing to pay for it, and yet the press hoots about Trumps comments about Sweden’s Islamic problems and supposed disorder in his administration. Our communications problems are enshrouded in propaganda, lies and deceit.
We see the medias misdirection and propagandizing and increasingly view it as exactly that. Americans are aware that the alleged Russia hacking is just a smoke screen no matter what the fake Republicans, McCain and Graham, want us to believe. How can two setting Senators, recipients of George Soros donations, be taken seriously?
And finally, who can explain how releasing Lt. General Flynn from his position as National Security Advisor on a lack of trust issue, comports to retaining the questionable FBI Director, James Comey, because he can be trusted? Just asking! Also, The new choice for Natl. Security Advisor, Lt. Gen. McMasters is an Obama General. His public views on Islam as a religion of peace are on video and comport to Obama’s demands. Worse, John McCain recommends him. That can’t be good. Has he changed? We’ll see soon enough.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (21Feb17)
The President
Opinion January 21, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Donald Trump is the President. I reckon it’s all over but the shouting and they’ll be a lot of that. Friday, 20 Jan 2017, American history was made that will reverberate in the history books for decades. A single individual who could have as easily been cast as one of the hated 1%er’s forced himself upon the body politic as the savior of the American Dream, the indispensable leader of a Great America and the primary threat to all who represents the corruption in American politics, Lo, these many decades.
We have witnessed the slow encroachment on Americas traditional values by the freedom eroding concepts of multiculturalism and diversity, inclusion and political correctness and we haven’t known how to resist it, until now. Once, we were told resistance was futile. Now, resistance is inevitable while the dark forces of the corrupted class, in danger of being dislodged from their sinecures, tryi to regain their footing to reestablish themselves as necessary to the good functioning of government. We must be prepared to resist a return of the power class. A battle is surely coming. Judging by the vehemence of the street protests, its already begun.
Today, Donald Trump, a very rich New York real estate developer, the antithesis of our ideal of the hard working American, is President. He stood before us and said even he’s had enough, then set about working hard to snatch away the hopes and dreams of the ruling class, our over educated ‘betters’ who seek to rule, not by personal experience and hard work, but because they were taught somebody else’s beliefs (Marx) on the value of labor and who should reap its rewards. It is a renewed battle between Capitalism and Communism, for the moment, leaving the ruling class reeling in confusion. They will comeback. Watch out for the elite GOP too.
Donald Trump is the President! His short inaugural address, derided by the pundents as “dreadful,” short of content and an in your face threat to the existing ways of doing governments business, was a brilliant statement of purpose. We all heard it, loud and clear, even if the pundents and talking heads didn’t. They didn’t like what he said because it didn’t comport to the way things have always been done. They still don’t get it, but we do! Trump didn’t extend an olive branch across the aisle, he threatened their very existence. He told them to do their work on behalf of the American people, not themselves. Dangerous words indeed for an idealistic, novice politician who never held office before.
These are the same people who promised that Trump would never, ever be President, and well, here he is, our President facing his greatest obstacle, actually draining the swamp. We know what that means, and we know the swamp is a bit deeper, muckier and smelly than originally thought. We must help. Much of the far left media focuses their attention on the opinions of the Hollywood Leftist elites. That’s got to be a loser. None of them, not one, that threatened to leave America if Trump won the presidency, seem to have left yet. Why is that? We could help them by not buying tickets to their movies and concerts.
Realistically, we’re in for a rough ride now. The battle is joined, the concepts are clear and the moribund democrat party, leaderless, except for the most vocal of the Marxists within its ranks, will strike out at every opportunity to thwart the Presidents promises to Make America Great Again. It is our duty to help him. The rising tide of optimism sweeping across America is a rich field to be harvested. Every American should carry a copy of our Constitution in their pocket, learn it and use it at every opportunity to reeducate our failing youngsters. That’s where the battle will actually be joined. Prepare yourselves. This battle is not even close to being over.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, Go Get ’em! (21 Jan 2017)
How to Wield Power, A lesson in…
Opinion January 19, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
‘Hope’ is a simple word but in practice a fleeting concept lacking any substance and one easily dashed. ‘Change’ is, well, we know it when we see it. Together they can create a vision but it’s still only a slogan, basically on the level of propaganda or, as Shakespeare put it, “a storm in a tea cup, full of sound and fury all signifying nothing.” We’ve experienced this “nothing” nonsense for the past eight years now, happily, about over. The lies will end, and the truth will out!
I have hopes, we all do. My ‘hope’ is that all traces of the past eight years will, like foot prints on a tropical beach, disappear completely with the lapping tide and as quickly, be forgotten. Actually, my hopes appear to be happening faster than I thought and Donald Trump is doing it by wielding a unique power he hasn’t even officially been given yet.
The power Trump has been wilding since the moment he became the Republican nominee increased exponentially after he defeated the clueless Clinton. His power comes from his lack of fear in confronting his enemies, especially the media, an entity that the Republican party has wilted before on every occasion they raised an issue contrary to Liberal orthodoxy. Trump doesn’t care what the Left thinks. He challenges them every time they attacked him. He criticized the medias main purveyors of fake news, made them defend their positions and dismissed as irrelevant the cautions of the party’s leadership, the democrat leadership and the think tank pundits who write policy. He won, and we saw, and we marveled.
Mere hours away now, from Trump’s inauguration, the Republican leadership is now warning its Senators in states facing elections they could lose, to get on board with Trump lest he should use his powers of “tweet’ to defeat them. Populism is the new direction America is going for the moment and Trump is its leader. Trump knows his supporters and he knows his enemies.
Astute politicians now recognize the powers Trump has and it’s not powers granted to him by law, yet, it is powers granted to him by the “deplorable’s” who listen to his words, read his tweet’s and understand his plain and simple talk and rallied to his cause. That’s power, he knows how to wield it but, it’s his to lose.
Consider what Trump has already done to foreign trade, starting with Carrier Air conditioning, then Ford Motor Car Company, Boeing and Lockheed Aircraft companies. For now, they’re staying in America spending their production money on American labor. It may not last due to technology and robots, but we see how Trump, not even president yet, has affected world trade.
Trump is not afraid to confront the growing menace of China’s ambitions to become the worlds next great imperial power. He’s not afraid to move the American Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He’s apparently not afraid to build the wall between the US and Mexico to control the growing invasion of peons and embedded Islamic Jihadists into America’s hinterland. He’s not afraid to talk with the Russians instead of shooting at them. Trumps powers comes from his ability to negotiate at the bargaining table, not simply capitulate to tyrants because they think they have an overpowering message. China is concerned.
Trump knows that our military, especially our navy, absolutely needs to be restored. It will be! What he does with it is unknown but I suspect it will probably be akin to speaking softly but carrying a big stick. Today is Obama’s last full day. Good bye! To me, Trump’s Inauguration song could very well be: “Hit the Road Jack, and Don’t You Come Back No More, No More…” Remember, Freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!

The Trouble With Legacy’s
Opinion January 10, 2017
Opinion by George McClellan:
Ever since the elections that delivered the House into Republican hands in 2012, and the subsequent disappointing inaction they showed, I have taken the position that their form of conservatism should have never taken the floor if they were not willing to fight the Democrats, i.e.: Progressive-Socialist party over the direction Obama was taking Americas. They promised but they didn’t deliver.
In the election cycle of 2014, Americas delivered the Senate into Republican hands, but sadly, with both houses of Congress in GOP hands, they still failed to deliver, except to provide feeble excuses for why they couldn’t do what they were sent there to do, basically restore a Constitutional America and the rule of law. That’s a legacy one cannot be proud of.
So, in this last election cycle, American’s sent a novice candidate with no political experience to the White House to run things as we want and by damn, some Republicans still don’t get it. In his ascendancy, Mr. Donald Trump swept away all the usual political roadblocks to conservative performances, as well as the usual suspects that couldn’t get anything done, and did so with the vicious cruelty of a grim reaper, and still the GOP political class haven’t got it. Some still insist the old GOP formula of inclusion and hands across the aisle should be pursued as the fastest way to political harmony and doing the peoples work. Nobody told the Democrats that!
As President-elect, Trump has already done so much more to bolster the spirit of America and Americans than the current buffoon who is departing, that the very air crackles with a spirit not felt since VJ day. This is shown in polls showing that conservatives will support President-elect Donald Trump’s on key issues over those of the old, dying GOP elites. It’s a new legacy forming.
Fifty-three percent of all Americans, not specifically Republicans, support the GOP’s positions while thirty-seven percent say they strongly identify with Trump’s positions. Compare this to only sixteen percent who identify with the positions of the average Republican lawmaker, or thirty-seven percent agreeing with those of the average congressional Democrat.
Rasmussen, the major poll taker, crunches the numbers down even further showing that of Americans who describe themselves as Republicans, sixty-three percent side with Trump’s views on major issues. That leaves a pitiful twenty-seven percent who said they were in step with the average GOP (establishment) politicians. That’s the trouble with legacy’s
Most folks don’t really know how Trump will lead the nation. We know he is a tough negotiator and generally gets what he wants. We know he listens to sage advice of his counselor and does not surround himself with “yes” men. We suspect he will ardently push his ideas, like his cabinet choices, through a basically still hostile GOP congress, and we know he will probably win because the GOP could never fend off the Democrats, how will they possibly fend off the one man who not only defeated sixteen other GOP hopefuls, but the Democrats main candidate, the corrupt and very beatable, Hillary Rodham Clinton? Trump knows weakness when he sees it.
The question arises, will Trump, like Obama, ignore constitutional restraints in his pursuit of change by becoming an autocrat, or will he wisely stiffen the backbone of the this Republican congress to remove America away from is corrupt past and into his promised economic future that appears to be dawning on the horizon? Trump is in the drivers seat. Let him drive.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (10 Jan2017)
Anarchy in Full View
Opinion February 2, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
UC Berkeley, California. It’s started again. The Left’s anarchists are running wild, burning, smashing university windows even beating up innocents they meet on the street in a fury of anti-Trump hysteria all because a conservative speaker was scheduled to make a speech to a sold out audience. “He might say something truthful, we can’t have that!”
While these hoodlums were not attired in neat uniforms echoing the “Brownshirt Stormtroopers,” of Germany’s Nationalist Socialist Party, their depredations are none the less exactly like the uniformed thugs that brought a civilized nation to its knees, murdered or drove out millions of hated Jews and other non conformists, and drove their country into the hands of a madman who pursued the Nazification of Germany, until he ultimately destroyed it.
Yesterday, Berkley residents experienced a 1938 Nazi style “Kristallnacht,” an event then, that should be a warning to us all, now. The Left are fascists, they’re crazy and they’re still out there polluting our schools. 1500 people tearing up the university and only one arrest made.
President Trump has thrown the solution to campus barbarism back onto the shoulders of the University’s leadership: fix it or he, Trump, will stop federal funding. That’s a great start! UCB gets about $370 million federal tax payer dollars per year. If Trump say’s it, he’ll do it.
Exactly what lesson should be learned here? The violent reaction of these far left fascists of Berkeley’s Student Union show us that our colleges and universities are no longer safe centers of liberal education. The free exchange of ideas where the opinions of speakers from different political and scientific persuasions are openly listened to and discussed, are things of the past. A new dark age of political oppression has rotted out the veneer of American higher education. Now, college students, deciding they are the law, have become completely misanthropic, hating all mankind, unless, of course, all mankind agrees with them, totally.
This was how it was in National Socialist Germany in the1930’s. One either agreed and went along with the party or one kept their mouths shut and stayed in the shadows lest they be carted off to Dachau as punishment for social deviation. What has not happen yet, in these violent disruptions, but probably coming soon, is the wanton and deliberate taking of lives. Innocent people will get hurt or killed if they even attempt to defend their property from these hooligans. To confront them on the streets will be a sure invitation to a beating or worse.
Presently, the fascist infection has mostly centered in the colleges and universities abetted by liberal administrators. The disease has spread into the halls of city councils and many state legislatures. Those in the federal government have just been routed but, wherever they are, their goal is the same, to enforce progressive dogma by threats, violence and intimidation if necessary, to any who fail to sufficiently embrace their demands.
The object of their affection was a Breitbart editor, Milo Yiannopoulos, who has been addressing schools around the country. But, the left said: “Although we object strenuously to Yiannopoulos’s views, he advocates white supremacy, transphobia and misogyny. It is rather harmful conduct to which we call attention in asking for cancellation of this event.” When we hear words we don’t understand like transphobia and misogyny, be assured the speaker is a Liberal, socialist, fascist, commie and does not have our best intentions in mind, only theirs. You will obey, or…..!

Feminist Hooliganism
Opinion January 24, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
As the shocking photos of the Women’s DC march following Trumps inauguration are now being published, it is apparent that modern women are much filthier than modern men, in their thoughts, words and probably deeds. I’ve never been accused of being a prude but I am totally shocked by the cultural sickness I read on the signs these women carried in their perambulation alone the streets of our nations Capital. More shocking was the recorded vocals of their chants and demands, their sole focus on female body parts. Ashley Judd, if you listened to her crude, screaming remarks on the speakers dais, has for me, descended into the abysmal depths of obscurity as a non person. I’m sure she doesn’t really care, but I do.
What we see signals a loss of whatever it was of the sacred place once held by women in American society. These Mall creatures are the very personification of the sick swamp dwellers from the primordial muck of paleolithic America, once the habituates of Red Light Districts.
And what was their message? I don’t know, really. Everything had to do with sex. Apparently most of them haven’t encountered muslim men yet who has a totally different take on what a infidel woman’s role is in his society. These women had better prepare themselves and their daughters, to spend some long hours daily on their backs, and not at times of their choosing. It might be suggested that a suitable occupation for these bedeviled creatures, given their desire to publicly flaunt their genitalia, a career in a brothel.
This madness has even spread abroad. In Spain, a known nutter of their feminist movement, at a grand opening of a Wax Museum, half naked, immediately walked up to the new Trump wax figure and grasped its crotch. Wow! What a statement, what a thrill that must have been!
One of President Trump’s promises was to return respect for law enforcement. It should also include the a return of self-respect. Primarily, this woman’s march on DC is the cutting edge of George Soros’ plan to foment anarchy on American streets. These women are nothing but chattel to Soros’ plans and will be destroyed as the useful idiots they are. This march was preplanned and paid for. Even the fingerprints of Islam has revealed themselves in the preparations.
The small crimes committed on the streets must be punished, not by a wink and a nod or a slap on the hand, but by real penalties including some time in the slammer. Burning a US flag, for example, has been defended by the US Supreme Court as freedom of speech. Arson hasn’t! That applies to trash cans and tires too. Police departments need to know they can now apply a vigorous campaign against street hooliganism, simply to protect righteous people, children and the elderly so they too can use the streets without fear of being attacked or humiliated by some incoherent leftist screaming abuses in their faces. All of this because their candidate lost.
Hillary tweeted: “Thanks for standing, speaking & marching for our values at the Woman’s March. Important as ever. I truly believe we’re always Stronger Together.” I would be interested in knowing exactly what she means by “our values.” I don’t think she really knows but her personal misery can best be fed by Tweeter. Hillary’s not out of the woods. Jason Chaffetz, (R-UT) and chairman of House Over Site Committee, said the investigation of her activities could take years. In political speak, that means not until the lawyers have drained her of whats left of her fortune. She might have to return to redneck Arkansas. One wonders, is she, as a former first lady, still entitled to Secret Service protection in prison? Just asking!

Bad Trends Coming
Opinion January 23, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
I’m becoming a bit concerned that Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace, is edging to the ‘dark side.’ Today’s interview (01/22/17), nay challenge, of Trumps Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus, was a tawdry example of combatively exploring the trivial to energize the petty, in order to trivialize Donald Trump’s presidency by giving credence to pure nonsense. Who cares? The Leftists do!
The MLK bust issue, a chance opportunity taken by a pool reporter who “tweeted: “Trump ordered the MLK Bust removed,” because he, the reporter, couldn’t see it. It was purposely designed to start tongues wagging on the same level, or worse, as when Obama handed the bust of Winston Churchill back to the British Ambassador on his first day in office. If you can’t see something, wait for it. If it’s still not there ask about it before tweeting a “gotcha” to the world. I would suspect that guy will have his WH press credentials taken. Who needs him?
The media doesn’t understand Trumps push back on these small issues and so they waste valuable Sunday airtime talking about nothing. The same with the head count. In two more days, who will even care unless the media chokes themselves trying to keep it alive? The end result, Trump will still be president and the press will still remain untrusted.
Hit Trump and expect to be hit back. In this era of divided loyalties, no politician can stand the free hits the press constantly delivers against Conservatives. George W. Bush, had a policy of not responding and look where that got him. Obama blamed him for every Democrat congressional failure in the Americas political and economic scene since the last two years of Bush’s final term. Trump isn’t going to stand for that.
Then comes the vagina vigilantes, the woman’s march, most of ‘em white feminist distraught that Hillary lost the election, demanding freedom. From whom, from what? Looking at the close ups of the feminist crowd, no two signs they held, said the same thing, One group wanted free sex without consequences, another wanted state paid contraception, another group demanded abortions, it was painful. Even street interviews revealed some really stupid young women.
It did not go unnoticed that the alleged feminist celebrities seized control of the microphones to proclaim their anti-Trumpism. The odious and scraggy Madonna, in her usual profanity laced profile, screamed out to the assembled women her vile thoughts and demands. So did the beautiful Scarlett Johansson and sadly, the once sweet and lovely Ashley Judd felt compelled to join the fray and smear herself with anarchist shame. Who got to her one wonders?
Why is celebrity granted a free pass? These people are basically stupid about events, guided only by a mistaken philosophy that abhors men except when its time to get impregnated, if a machine can’t do it first. Who is Alicia Keyes and Janelle Monae? I’ve never heard of them and didn’t recognize them when they spoke on live TV but they had a stupid message to proclaim and a platform to proclaim it.
The first feminist, Gloria Allred, now an aging old hag, screamed out that “if Trump registers Muslims, then we will all register as muslims.” This woman is certifiable. If it’s that important to her to welcome Jihadists, shouldn’t she be wearing a hijab now? If she really wanted to be a muslim woman, perhaps she should practice first by living in Saudi Arabia for a year. A beating once or twice a day would do well for her reeducation. She might even beg Donald Trump to get her out of there. Naw, he shouldn’t waste his time on silly trivia.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now. go get ‘em! (01/22/17)
Transition is Sweet
Opinion January 20, 2017
Opinion by George McClellan:
Today, at noon, Donald Trump, a very successful businessman and a non politician, ascended to the highest job in the land, President of the United States. As a campaigner he easily vanquished his opponents whose sole objective was to maintain the status quo of political corruption. I think an exception would have been Sen. Ted Cruz, but he lost his bid as well, and even has lost his way afterward, meandering about in the rubble that was the old dysfunctional, eastern elite Republican Party. Like the others he too cannot get over the Trump ascendency. It was a salubrious day indeed.
But, those most adversely affected, those with the most to lose, the Democrat Party, distraught in their candidates loss to Trump, were revealed as but a shallow entity without substance, void of ideas and diminished popular support. Lacking any depth of leadership, its ranks of potential leaders, wiped out by preceding elections, has fossilizes their party like dinosaur eggs.
Those Democrats that still exist in some minor capacity in government are totally derange over the circumstances of their loss. Their flailing efforts to derail the Trump train has left them prostate with grief, notable by their whining, ineffective legislating and all but ignored in their commentary. But, some are still there, abiding in the Congress, promising to be a hinderance, demanding to be relevant and insisting that their already installed socialist programs should be maintained, for the people, not pulled out root and branch for the failures they really are.
In desperation, the Democrats, who only a few short months ago demanded that Trump must accept the results of the General Election now, do not themselves accept the result of the General Election. Oh, the irony! Instead, many refused to attend the orderly ceremonial transition of power, while they conspiratorially organize or encourage disruptions of this important transition ceremony, and bad mouth anything the new president Trump will say or do.
The Democrats made a practice of disobeying the laws unless it was to their profit. The long mantra of the Socialist Democrat party is “do as we say, not as we do. If you resist you will be crushed by regulations we have imposed to control you.” That has been the daily meme here in the Land of the Free, for eight long, miserable years, if not longer.
Today the Democrat party lies in shambles. Their is no mandate to resurrect it, no further need for its existence, indeed, now is the time to destroy it completely. If grassroots democrats want to try, they should consider forming up Tea Party Democrats and see if that gains traction.
Trump owes the democrats nothing! No respect and no loyalty. He owes them nothing! They do not need to be listened to. Their message is as irrelevant as it is unimportant and their words stand only as a reminder of their already totally exhausted political philosophies of long ago.
Obama’s Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, when she paid her secret flying visit to Bill Clinton at a remote Arizona airfield and, in doing so violating America’s laws, in effect, set us free. They are owed nothing. They lost our respect and crushed any claims to our loyalty. They return the favor by not showing loyalty to America’s new leadership. They have distanced themselves from righteous people and will wander lost in the wilderness for years while true Americans, with a returned reliance on divine Providence, will pledge to those who have earned our loyalty, “our adherence to the rule of law, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.” Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, let’s make America Great Again. (20 Jan 2017)
Trumps Picks
Opinion January 16, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
The controversy about Trump’s tweeting attacks on people who attack him and his willingness to do so outside old normal channels of political discourse (WH Press Corp), are leaving an indelible mark on the communicators who were once our only sources of knowing what was happening in the news. Modern technology, i.e.: the internet, smart phones, Facebook and Twitter accounts, have swept all that away. It’s catch as catch can in recording what’s really news in today’s world, what’s the truth and what’s a lie?
The old broadcast media outlets, ABC, NBC, CBS, and cable news starter CNN, have been exposed for the charlatans they have long been, as purveyors of fake news, lies, and story’s designed simply to keep the population alarmed and the socialists in office. There is no prevarication they are not willing to embrace to keep their movement moving.
CNN commentator Maria Cardona, speaking of Trump, said : “He think it’s somebody else’s fault that we’re not united.” Well, duh, isn’t it? Trump wasn’t in the drivers seat the past eight years, Obama was. Trump didn’t launch the Black Lives Matter movement against law and order, Obama did. Trump didn’t disrespect the thin blue line causing the ambush murders of police officers, Obama did. Trump didn’t ignore his own “red line” warning, Obama did, Trump didn’t sell guns to Mexican criminal gangs, Obama did. Whose fault could it possibly have been?
Trump doesn’t go into office expecting to win over ‘skeptics’ either. He ran for office to rescue a once proud and successful America, and return it to its original glory. It doesn’t matter any more. He has invited everyone to come along with him, especially Americans of African descent, to join him in fulfillment of their dreams, not the dreams of Obama’s father. “What do you have to lose?” he asked them. By the way, ”skeptics” are simply democrat politicians and liberal voters who cannot accept that their candidate, Hillary Clinton, could have possibly lost the election.
Cardona complains that Trumps cabinet is filled with rich white people. She means, it lacks diversity and necessary aspects of multiculturalism required by socialists. Of course that’s true. Diversity and multiculturalism have made no money, provided no jobs, created no wealth, sustained no population outside of poverty levels and created no new ideas to move our country forward except by top down control and dependency on government.
Rich white people are in his cabinet because they are rich. That means they are successful. They know how to create prosperity for everyone who wants to chance it. The dependency state created by Democrats (Progressive Liberals) has nearly bankrupted America. Social Security is $32 trillion dollars in the hole. How can that program possibly be sustained? It cannot.
So, watch a businessman who recognizes the differences between assets and liabilities, make serious moves to fix our economic problems. And, it will hurt too. That’s why rich white people make up the majority of Trumps cabinet. Dr. Ben Carson, the exception, is a brilliant man, a survivor of poverty and a single parent family and an achiever in his own right. He rightly takes his place in Trumps rich white peoples cabinet. Herman Cain should be there too!
Reps. Barbara Lee of California and John Lewis of Georgia have said they will “boycott” Trumps inauguration. No, they won’t! The inauguration has nothing to sell, so a boycott isn’t what they will do. They simply won’t be there, by their choice, and they certainly won’t be missed. Maybe they can join the losers rabble who intend to disrupt Trumps inauguration ceremony and parade.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (16 Jan 2017 am).
The Old Tricks Don’t Work Anymore
Opinion January 13, 2017
Opinion by George McClellan:
Even two months after the 2016 General Election that, to the complete shock of nearly everyone, swept away decades of carefully crafted, cunningly supported and voraciously defended Marxist tenants of socialism forced upon the American people, the Left’s visible meltdown continues. The rejected class are still publicly displaying paroxysms of angst, garment rendering fits of outrage, weeping scenes of regret and remorse, and spasms of volatile hatred, simply because Trump won the election they thought was Hillary’s by divine right.
Hopefully, like in the five stages of human emotion in reaction to immediate threats, it will all end in resignation and acceptance. It won’t of course, but we can still hope. It is because the past four decades of encroaching socialism, propaganda driven education, imposed diversity and destructive multiculturalism based on a philosophy of political correctness, has ossified their little mushy brains into, how does ‘Rush’ put it? “mind numbed robots.”
Their candidate was visibly flawed, representing as she did, all that was failing in our culture, our government and our institutions. Striking out in anger, her over confident acolytes have even managed to reintroduced, albeit, inadvertently, an old term they once used to beat down weak, simpering Republicans: “McCarthyism.” It is now theirs, except “BuzzFeed” is the new moniker.
For all younger people who are unaware of the term, it comes from Joe McCarthy, a US Senator of the 1950’s who claimed the US government was infiltrated with Communists and he “held in his hand a list of names he would soon expose.” The fallout was enormous, unsubstantiated and destructive to the political process and did serious damage to the era of “good feelings” that once was in our politics. Decades later, some of McCarthy’s claims were verified. There were indeed communist plants in our government, and still are. And, while McCarthy couldn’t prove it then, time has proven him substantially correct. But the negative term, “McCarthyism,” was set in concrete. That’s why we’re where we are today. In any event, the damage was done.
This week, Senate confirmation hearings for Trumps cabinet choices began and suddenly, “Buzz Feed,” in the best traditions of McCarthyism, became itself the purveyor of destructive lies and false innuendos. It has proved the era of fake news is indeed, alive and well. Unlike the 1950’s though, Americans are now aware of the old techniques from the Democrats playbook of dirty tricks, and instead of becoming outraged and cynical, are becoming aware and amused.
Buzz Feeds supposedly explosive anti-Trump revelations allegedly came from foreign intelligence sources and passed on to the FBI and CIA. Senator John McCain, personally claimed credit for this, “as any good citizen would.” The report, quickly exposed as fake news, is the best and latest example, since McCarthy himself, of how low Trumps enemies will go to ruin his presidency, including from the the “Never Trump” GOP crowd, before it even begins.
These people are determined to maintain the corrupt status quo of their political sinecures, advance their desire to stay in the swamp of graft and corruption and reap the rewards of being career politicians. Such false claims, the sole purpose of which is to destroy by innuendo and lies, a persons reputation and adversely affect his or her ability to function without censure or approbation. It is deplorable and, if I judge “The Donald” correctly, actionable. In this era of “fake news,” BuzzFeed has reached new lows and has ensured its place as simply another Democrat rumor mill, not to be trusted. It is the new McCarthyism vehicle for leftist haters, if it survives.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, Let’s go get ‘em! (13 Jan 17)
Some Changes Coming, Stand By
Opinion February 1, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
The firing of liberal activist, Sally Yates, an obscure Obama appointee serving temporarily as the AG until Jeff Sessions is installed, is a non issue. But the press is going ballistic. They have become literally vituperative over the issue.
Yates would have been gone anyway because, like the State Department officials who left on 20 January she, as an Obama appointee, submitted a pro forma letter of resignation. Trump, naturally accepted it in light of her publicly defiant stand against his Immigration order. There is no comparison to Nixon’s Saturday night massacre. None! Don’t buy into that!
Trumps heterodox approach to the immigration issue, smacks of a puerility not experienced before in our government. The release of Sally Yates is under attacked by the hysterical left talking heads of both the media and the democrat party, as unconstitutional, illegal and etc. No, it isn’t!
For years now, we have heard these words spoken in defense of the indefensible: It’s not who we are,” “It’s not the way American’s do things,” “ It’s not fair,” and, “It’s unAmerican,” etc.. Nonsense, it is who we are. The Left want’s our constitutional America destroyed using any tool they think is available to them, like immigration rules. They believe that by inviting in the very people who can destroy America, they, as a party can survive. Well, just who are we then? The left, even now languishing in their last gasps of relevancy, are still trying to set the agenda and promote a narrative that is, in fact un-American, unfair, dangerous, damaging to our economy and harmful to our culture.
NY Sen. Chuckie Schumer, at the Battery Park in NY, demonstrated, by his phony tears and emotion, a puerile process that attempts to re-enforce the lefts narrative that Islam is a religion of peace and America would be woefully harmed if we ceased letting them freely into our country. The democrats see them as votes, the “elites” see them as cheap labor and the rest of us see them as rattlesnakes. Nobody except democrats, could possibly want to invite rattlesnakes into their houses.
These people are demented. After only two years of Obama’s agenda, Americans delivered him a staggering loss in Congress and two years later, a staggering loss in the Senate. The American people clearly rejected Obama’s Marxist agenda. But, that didn’t stop Obama from pushing his claimed executive authority to the very brink of Constitutional lawlessness. The end result, as we know, was the loss to the Democrats, of even the presidency. Some more changes are coming, so be prepared! We now have a strong willed executive in the White House getting the things done we wanted done.
The lefts narrative is in tatters but that doesn’t keep ’em from pushing it anyway, especially among our younger citizens who have passed through Americas dysfunctional education system, their heads filled with socialist nonsense. Now is not the time to relax our guard. Now is not the time to question President Trump’s vision. We know what they are. They are our visions too and we need to support him.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (31 Jan 2017).
Misusing Language
Opinion January 27, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Democrats are practiced in the art of circumlocution. They say one thing then claim they meant another. They change word definitions to fit their narrative, hide them in a flurry of rhetoric and then shamelessly move on to the next lie or problem they create.
In case they didn’t get the message, they have also lost three elections in a row. Judging by the incredulous, vituperative reaction to Trumps presidency, now being harmlessly showered down on a Trump who doesn’t really care, I think the Democrats days are probably numbered. Trump vanquished them, completely and he sweeps on while they’re trying to figure out their next plot to undermine him. Their message doesn’t resonate any more. Donald Trump was elected by Americans who believe his policy proposals will reverse years of economic decline brought on by, among other things, Obama’s overregulation, overspending and mismanagement.
The rising level of opprobrium belongs to the Democrats alone. Their propaganda machine, the MSM, is itself now under serious attack by Trump while it flails away at the wrong issues. Trump doesn’t play the game their way. By ‘tweets’, he chums them and they rise to his bait. To us, he speaks simply, in clear words and then follows up on his pledges and they can’t keep up. All this tawdry unpleasantness simply because the Left don’t know what is and is not the truth anymore, unless it’s the truth that fits their socialist agenda. We’re not listening!
Here’s an example of media driven fake news. The Weekly Standard, still clinging to their “Never Trump” mantra, would have us believe that the mass State Department resignations of senior officials must signal a loss of confidence in Trumps administration. An interesting point, since Trump hasn’t hardly even got started yet. In fact, their resignations are pro forma when a change of administrations occurs. As presidential appointees, they serve at the pleasure of the President, not the Civil Service. The resignation letters submitted by Obama’s appointees, Progressive all, after the election, were legal and accepted immediatelyTrump was sworn in. They weren’t fired! Interestingly, the last time the US Government experienced such a mass loss of employees involved in foreign diplomacy was at the Little Big Horn.
Such change Is good for the government, good for realigning our foreign relations priorities and good for setting the parameters for knowing who is really for us and who isn’t. Doubtless, good relations with other governments, including the several sanctuary cities and counties in America, are critical to our own security as a country. American’s see that, the Left doesn’t and frames their dissent in terms of hate words, i.e.: we are racist, homophobic, islamaphobic, & etc. Their power to instill fear with twisted language is fast ebbing.
These Short Takes essays you read are exercises in anti-circumlocution. One can show a level of intellectualism without verbosity. When published, they are limited to filling one page with basic truths, free of peripheral nonsense that say’s nothing. They are direct and to the point! To achieve that end, I always have at hand three essential books: a book of Synonyms, a Thesaurus and a Dictionary. Searching for the best word(s) that succinctly explains my thoughts, eliminates the boring and mind numbing verbosity that the Left uses to explain their ‘truths’. Winston Churchill is my literary example. I confess also, that I am occasionally aided by a friend who apparently has a dictionary too.
What do you call 68 democrats who refuse to attend a Presidential inauguration?….. A good start! Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, Let’s help Trump make America Great again. Trump can’t do it alone. Let him lead. (27 Jan 2017)
Russian Hacking Boondoggle
Opinion January 6, 2017
Opinion by George McClellan:
The main theme of this Russian hacking of the DNC non-story is that the hackers, whoever they are, did it for the benefit of Donald Trump with the specific intent to harm Hillary Clinton in her campaign to become looter in chief. Nonsense! It’s fake news and takes our eyes off her crimes.
The flood of stories now being inflicted upon us by the leftist media have yet to reveal any evidence that supports any claim that Russia affected our elections. Doubtless, they did hack the DNC and revealed the Clinton team’s criminality, which the DoJ has declined to pursue.
Additionally, given the total failure of the feckless Obama administration, especially during Clinton’s four years of State Department mismanagement by ignoring any response to Putin’s military actions on the Ukrainian border, the Crimea, Syria, Libya or in the Mediterranean, why would he want to help Donald Trump and the Republican Party gain control over the total of the US Government? Trump’s a tough guy. So is Putin. They both know that!
That media’s scenario makes no sense whatsoever. Even if we were to assume that Putin is an idiot, which he isn’t, he most certainly knows that when the US President has the support of the Congress and Americans, that he is much more powerful than the fool who has been presiding over a divided America, as we have suffered under since 2008.
The hacking revealed the DNC, and its candidate, to be dysfunctional, overzealous, careless, and arrogant in its approach to handling official US government communications by using unauthorized email servers. The DNC, overrun as it is with folks that have no use for each other and are not in the least bit reticent about carelessly putting that in writing, it comes as no surprise that they were easily hacked or that her campaign ultimately collapsed. In frustration the Democrats, what’s left of ‘em, are now blaming anybody but themselves for their loss.
It was evident the Democrat Party was deeply divided over their choice of who should be their presidential candidate. The DNC was not. Hillary was to be their candidate. To assure that, the fix was in. All the Democrat wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments not-with-standing, she, ultimately lost the election. The leftist medias news claims is not evidence that her loss was the intent of the hackers. To claim that is fallacious reasoning indeed.
Add to that the fact that no one has offered any evidence whatsoever that even a single popular electoral vote was swayed by the release of the DNC information let alone by the pleas of the leftist Hollywood elite, it’s then we realize we have experienced the worst example of failed representative government since King George III.
Too, the far left media has focused our attention solely on the issue of “hacking” while ignoring the crimes they revealed. The classified data in those hacked emails, known to everybody, cleared or not on the Clinton team, is a crime and forms the basis of serious criminal charges against the entire Clinton team starting with ‘herself,’ John Podesta, Uma Abaden & D. Brazile.
Americans will not be satisfied with the new Republican government until that government allow’s justice to take its course without political influence from mere politicians. Clearly, it is revealed that the highest levels of our intelligence agencies, including the FBI and the DoJ, have been so politicized that they may actually be a danger to the country they are pledged to protect.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, Go get ‘em! (06 Jan 2017)
Then, Along Came Trump
Opinion January 18, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
One can’t be too sure if Obama’s current round of main stream media interviews, praising himself and his eight years of administrative failures, is an exercise in ego exigency or a victory lap that only his warped mind could envision. One suspects the latter. Then, along came Trump.
The miasma of political corruption that accompanied Obama into office and has lingered over the swamp that is Washington DC, or more correctly, the creatures that have populated Washington DC for the past eight years, is quickly being blown away by the winds of populism.
We all know exactly what’s happening. The swamp is being drained. The Left hasn’t grasped that yet. They still threaten, beg, plea and pretend that they still matter and must be heard.
Obama, indeed the entire Progressive Liberal agenda, including the weak, go along to get along Republicans, have been choking America for decades with unAmerican ideas, philosophies, rules and regulations that nobody really wants. The Socialist programs of top down government control has turned a great many young Americans into sheep to be sheared when needed. Then, along came Trump. The shearing will stop and a new era of reeducation will commence.
The shock waves of Brexit, followed by Trumps victory over the standard bearer of all things socialist, Hillary Clinton, is still reverberating throughout the western world. Teressa May just announced a British hard exit from the EU, mellowing her vision with faint words of praise about still being a European country but becoming an important part of the larger world. Did she signal an end to elitism? Maybe Brits are tired of Brussels telling them how to make beer!
Our focus however, is current. We hear blowhards like Georgia Rep. John Lewis, declaring Trump’s election as illegitimate. How does he know being one of the sheep that the left has periodically sheared? He is still consequential to them because its important for the left to have dim witted fellow travelers in the ranks proclaiming the lefts mantra, especially black ones. That Lewis, and a bunch of other Democrats will not attend Trump’s inauguration is absolutely a non story because nobody really cares anymore. They lost. They should get over it. They won’t!
Are we alarmed that the Hollywood entertainment elites are telling America that they won’t perform at Trump’s inauguration? No, we are not! Why? Because they weren’t invited. Trump will attend three inauguration Balls, not fourteen. His speech will be short, succinct and to the point, and his parade, short as well, then he’ll get down to the business of draining that swamp.
Has anyone noticed that the old Republican functionaries, many long ensconced in the Republican ranks of operation of government agencies, haven’t been invited to return to their old posts and form the foundation of Trump’s presidency? No! We hear the term “Blacklist” being bandied around. That’s exactly true because along came Trump.
All those lower level functionaries that Trump is not considering to fill those 4000 bureaucratic jobs that government requires, are creatures of the swamp. How do we know? Because they signed the “#Never Trump” letter, forever eliminating themselves from any future consideration for a meaningful position in a populist, Constitutional government.
Trump will be there for eight years. The left’s message of dependency will no longer rally the sheep and America will resume its rightful role as the worlds leader. Get over it. Remember, Freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, let’s go get ‘em! (18 Jan 2017)
Who Is Obama?
Opinion December 30, 2016
Opinion by George McClellan:
Philosophers, even as far back as Aristotle and probably earlier, have tried to explain the difference between man and God in logical, understandable terms. It hasn’t been done, but scripture does tell us man is made in God’s image. But man, looking around him see’s that that could not possibly be so because of the many imperfections man possesses. Maybe man could do it better! That has opened a can of worms to haunt us forever. The operative word that encompasses the whole concept of religion, is “faith.” Either one has it or one does not!
America’s founding documents acknowledge, indeed trumpet the reality of divine providence by actually crediting God with providing the gifts of life, liberty, freedom and etc. Philosophically speaking, our founding fathers credit God with gifting America with the divine providence that America has enjoyed for over two centuries. Religious scholars argue that it’s in man’s providence to lose God’s favor, by choice, as the last forty years have seemed to prove.
In Religion, as in politics, people are fractured into separate groups as disparate churches, each staking a position of having “true belief” through direct communication with God. If they claim so, who can deny it? But, In the book of James, anyone with faith is given that ability. If that’s true, then why do we have organized religion? Well, follow the money!
Political philosophers, like Marx, Engels and Lenin, threw out God as the “Opiate of the people.” Later, Marxist apostles like, Saul Alinsky, Barak Obama, et. al., view mankind’s progress through the eyes of the true anthropogenic, one who considers man to be the most significant entity in the Universe. When applied, these philosophical theories have morphed into unworkable schemes called fascism, communism and socialism. All deny any association with God, except as a tool to be used to corral the masses they consider to be mere sheep.
But, Obama takes it a step further. He is a real narcissist. He believes he alone is the one most significant entity in the universe. Once, mental institutions were filled with like minded people who firmly believed they were the reincarnations of Napoleon or Genghis Khan. Many such people occupy the seats of power in their own spheres holding the reins of government in their grubby hands, dragging their followers with them, to ultimate misery.
That suggests the obvious next question: Was Obama made in God’s image? By our own experience we know he is not God. He’s too inept. That’s an issue that may be argued among the intellectual class for decades. Obama, by word, action and deed has shown he was either a Christian, a Muslim and probably even a hottentot if he’d thought of it, but the evidence of our own eyes indicates, apart from being a fool, that he assiduously worships at the alter of golf.
Fortunately, Obama has never claimed he was the reincarnation of Mohammad. The Jihadists would soon have his head mounted on a stick as a blasphemer. He’s never claimed to be God either because he simply does not believe there really is a God for him to emulate. He would have us believe that he alone is solely the one superior intellect who has risen up from out of the primordial slime that is humanity, to gift the universe with the brilliance of his wisdom.
We are now realizing, I think, that wisdom is the by-product of hands-on work and experience, talents Obama did not bring with him to office. He was a community organizer and created nothing by his own hands. That his ignominious term is coming to an end can’t be soon enough.
I trust we realize the mistake we made, as God fearing people, and do not repeat it.
