Short Takes- Big Government, What Is It?
Opinion August 6, 2018
Big Government, What is It?
What the hell is going on up there? Mueller’s attempts to bring down Donald Trump because the “Left” demands it is a fiasco, a total mishmash of lies, innuendos, false reports, foreign spies and traitorous Obama administration officials at the highest levels of the FBI, CIA, DIA and DOJ, doing everything in their power to strip Americans of their prize, the swamp drainer in the White House. It’s the Deep State walking all over themselves trying to prove one thing while proving the other. Trump didn’t do it and Hillary did. So there!
This whole tawdry business of leftist political dysfunction, all because they thought the criminal, Hillary Clinton would be a “shoe in” for president instead of the Bronx Buffoon, Donald Trump, is telling. Conservatives must festinate the demise of the Democrats.
The evidence against Clinton’s criminality is so transparent, so pervasive and so prima facia conclusive that it’s incredible she’s not already in the dock. This includes her entire plethora of criminal hangers-on and job seekers willing to suborn their souls for socialism. It has already permeated the ranks of those we call the “Deep State” or the regulatory state, or the federal bureaucracy, however you wish to call it. The deep state also includes the world’s International banks, the military-Industrial complex, as “Ike” warned us to be aware of, and the education-union collaboration, among other corrupted groups. Follow the money.
The Deep State is the sole creation of Congress, several decades of ‘em in fact, a collection of bickering adolescents unable to do the job the Constitution has outlined for them. Instead, being too busy, they authorized the creation of countless bureaus, agencies and departments, each empowered to make the thousands of pages of rules and regulations in the Federal Register designed to control us, rob us of our freedoms and enslave us to big government.
The Left attacks us through political correctness on several fronts: the threats of climate change, racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, hate crimes, white privilege and the fearful armed citizen who stands in the way of their takeover control of a subdued America’s economic engine.
They fear armed Americans. As for climate change, any geologist or paleontologist can tell us about the earth’s history of climate change by just looking at fossils and exposed rock strata’s. Thats a non story. As for “Gun Control” that’s a protected right given to us in our constitution and must be defended at all costs, yet, the Left continues to attack the one thing they fear, freedom.
Conservatives must argue that the “Left” wants us disarmed, not because of school shootings or the odd murder or robbery. Those are mere tactics. Shootings won’t stop regardless of any more gun law, so confiscation is their answer. When we’re disarmed, we can’t protect ourselves from the hoodlums, gang members and car jackers who ignore the laws anyway.
If they succeed, the unarmed citizen, no longer able to defend himself, will have to demand government protect them and they can’t. Being armed is our right but how we feel about exercising that right doesn’t matter to them. it becomes clear that our “rights” as given to us by our Founders, are unalienable. The “Deep State” permits government to allow or rescind gun possession not upon the whims of a majority opinion (democracy) but by law.
Elections count and the socialist hoard of young millinials now clambering to become politicians have already drunk the “Kool Aide” of socialist poison that threatens our existence. Beware! Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (03Aug18)
Short Takes – The Congessional Circus
Opinion July 18, 2018
The Congressional Circus
Well, what more can be said about July 12th’s Congressional hearing circus featuring Peter Strzok as ring master, except to point out the obvious, that the Democrat party, all of them, shouting out objections to Republican questions of the witness, praising the shamed witness with accolades for his bravery and Purple Hearts for his wounds, are morons determined to defend the indefensible, stretch the imagination into the realm of fairy tales, and strive to prove themselves to be, in fact, enemies of America.
Not enemies of America the country, filled as it is with us hopeless “Deplorable’s,” as they say, but America the Idea; the constitutional America that enjoy’s the rule of law; the America nurtured on the field of battle with the blood of patriots soaked into its soil; the America of self-determination, personal freedom and prosperity if you can earn it.
Strzok, having risen into the higher ranks of the FBI, convinced of the righteousness of his and his girlfriend preserving the deep state by torpedoing Trumps campaign and, as determined to protect the shadow government of Barak Obama and all its odious appendages, strides defiantly into the Congressional interrogation chamber to attempt to set in concrete the lies that have already been made visible by their own clumsiness. The truth is ineluctable.
We were entertained if not outraged, by the haughty, contentious representative of official government corruption from the highest levels of the civil service. Agent Strzok who, through the use of rhetoric, alternate word definitions and denials of his own written intent to deny Trump the presidency, attempted to traduce the committee by his defiance. Democrats were pleased.
Some say the confrontation was “historic”. Maybe, but I don’t think so. It was tawdry! A Civil servant of the FBI who disgraced his badge and brought embarrassment to the agent corps of honest bureau investigators who also, in a stroke, destroyed the trust that American citizens once implicitly had in the product the FBI turned out. Unlike all other agencies of the federal government, only he FBI exists without a mission statement, no congressional limits on its activities and no accounting to Congress on its activities. It claims sovereign immunity from scrutiny because its work to protect Americans must remain hidden. A sure formula for corruption. Congress must correct that. Maybe they should stick to bank robberies.
It was the Democrats who thought the hearing was a “circus” and “ridiculous.” Still clinging to the faint hope that Mueller may finally find something they can use to impeach Trump, they claim the hearings are only designed to chip away at the integrity of the FBI and the Mueller investigation. Who can believe that? Rep. Hakeem Jeffries,(D-NY) called the hearing a “kangaroo court. It is a three-ring circus, It is not even meritorious of an investigation by Ace Ventura, Pet Detective let alone 75 members of the United State Congress.” Democrats are a leaderless rabble looking to stay afloat in a ship punched full of holes and sinking fast.
We have yet to hear from the lovely and talented Lisa Page, who refused to comply with a congressional subpoena to appear for her session with Congress. The probable reason is so when she does appear, her answers will comport with her lover Strzok’s. Another waste of time?
The corruption exposed thus far is trial-able on the basis of physical evidence alone. The Clinton toady’s from Comey to Lynch and Lisa Page and Strzok, and all in between should face a Grand Jury, trial and hopefully imprisonment. That will start the healing of America.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (13July18)
Short Takes – The Agenda, Why They Won’t Stop
Opinion July 6, 2018
“The Agenda” – Why They Will Not Stop
Twenty years ago our government was in the hands of a misogynist, but popular nincompoop, one William Jefferson Clinton. His tawdry life’s experiences, beyond his official duties, is too painful and sordid to repeat here. We all know the tale. What we don’t know was why the idiots in the Democrat Party rallied so hard to keep him in office. Because he led the agenda called “The Third Way” and maintaining ‘the agenda’ was far more important than the man.
A Washington Post article dated 9 Aug.1998, by E.J. Dionne, titled “The Big Idea,” explained why Democrats stuck with Bill Clinton throughout the Lewinsky scandal and his impeachment for lying. The article also introduced us “the Third Way.” Dionne wrote: “most of Clinton’s party will support him as long as they can. They see him…as the only figure who can make the party’s case.”…Until they don’t!
Thomas Friedman wrote in the NY Times: “if there was no hope for the Agenda, what need is there for the man?” Friedman conceded Clinton’s personal failures and opined that perhaps he indeed needed to go,…. to save the agenda.
Bill Clinton went sailing with Walter Cronkite, a confirmed globalist who totally subscribed to a mandatory one world government to prevent a catastrophic third world war. At least that’s what he said in his book, A Reporters Life. Cronkite advised Clinton he should resign so the Agenda could proceed. Cronkite wanted the worlds nations to yield up their “precious sovereignty”…and establish a World Executive and a Parliament of Nations. We see how successful that has been with the European Union and the failing United Nations. It’s not working well, is it?
None the less, for a short while even the media joined in in asking for Clinton’s resignation. This was also the time of the Soviet Unions collapse and the new Russian Premier, Boris Yeltsin, calling for a Third Way, needing American support. Perhaps a savior at last!. Clinton’s White House press secretary, Mike McCurry said “For us, it has always been true, the policy matters more than personality.” In other words, the agenda transcends the man.
Clinton’s decision not to quit stands in sharp contrast to poor ol’ Richard Nixon who statesmanlike, resigned his presidency when he was advised to. Democrats are not statesmen but socialist driven aparatchek’s and their goal is still The Third Way, a one world government.
The real power brokers didn’t want Clinton to quit.because that would have ushered in the climate idiot Al Gore, to “heal the nation.” They knew that Gore lacked the charisma to drive their grandiose scheme but, If Clinton like Nixon, was driven from the field, then who would become Gore’s VP,? It had to be someone with the charisma to advance their agenda. No-one in the Democrat party fit the bill so they looked around and guess who they saw? Why, our own Newt Gingrich already a popular Third Way proponent. This may explain why Republicans don’t fight the Democrats. They’re all cut from the same cloth with the same agenda!
Then came Bush’s Compassionate Conservatism, or socialist lite, who couldn’t get it done; then the great black hope, Barak Obama. How did a nobody, with no history, no records and no achievements, become President so fast? Was a fix really in? But, alas, he couldn’t do it either and tried to pass the ball to Hillary Clinton, who hated him, just to save the Agenda. He hated the Clinton’s too, but “The agenda” mattered most. With Donald Trump, their whole plan is in abeyance. There is a Deep State and It is controlled by the oligarchs of the world banks.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go protect ‘em! (01Jul18)
Short Takes – Does Hollywood Matter Any More?
Opinion June 13, 2018
Apparently, the Tony award’s were on last night. I didn’t know. It was in todays news when it was revealed once again, that the IQ level of actor Robert DeNiro, who publicly expressed his deep level of disdain, or rather his hatred for President Donald Trump, hadn’t changed.
When a celebrity uses only base rhetoric to express an opposing political opinion, such as using the one word that best describes one of life’s more pleasurable functions betweens the sex’s, as a statement of fact, then we have achieved the collapse of polite discourse and the sure sign that DeNiro’s “Peter Principal” level has been reached. DeNiro has achieved his highest level of intellectual attainment, a triumph of idiocy over debate. To the cheering Hollywood crowd, his word is final, but nobody really cares anymore, do they? Now, it’s only a news item.
The world is focusing on historic events: the just concluded G-7 Trade summit, the ludicrous after Trump statement by Canadian Premier Trudeau, the land creation going on in Hawaii and the land melting event in Guatemala, not to mention President Trumps mission to Singapore for a singular historic event, the first ever summit meeting between a North Korean despot, Kim Jung Un, and the President of the United States, and we are favored with DeNiro’s opinion.
We are in a whirl of world shaping news events to the point we almost can’t keep up and an aging pretty good movie actor, DeNiro, of no specific intellectual achievement, chooses a medium most Americans have stopped viewing, award shows, to offer up once again his learned opinion on the President of the United States.
What DeNiro reinforced by his tirade was that the Hollywood of today is no longer important except as a money raising machine for Democrats. Hollywood is disappearing, much of it having moved right here to Georgia. Most Americans already know what DeNiro thinks about conservative politics and it’s newest spokesman, Donald Trump, so we can safely ignore it.
What hurts most is the wild cheering by attendees applauding DeNiro’s version of the “truth” as DeNiro so cunningly expressed it. Some call the actor an “outspoken critic” of Trump, and he is but, who cares anymore? DeNiro can never speak his opinion without employing the lowest level of his rhetorical skills, using the “F___” word again and again. Maybe it’s his highest level.
These seemingly constant televised award shows by the entertainment industry patting itself on the back, have morphed into political action exercises by the Left to confirm their anti-American, anti-conservative and pro-Clinton opinions. They do it in the certain belief that simply because they have achieved celebrity or get a nomination to receive a silly trophy that has to be dusted once a week, that their opinion really matters. That is a delusional level above which people with excessively highly developed egos, like movie actors, rarely advance. The odd man out of course, is Donald Trump. His ego is his driving force and achievement, its reward.
Hollywood once expressed America’s culture in great movies; the culture that defeated the Nazi’s, the Japanese and later, economically, the Soviets. That’s the culture that drew thousands of intelligent immigrants to our shores to become Americans, not the culture of Hollywood today, demanding social changes Trump won’t give them. Theirs is the culture of political correctness, profane ideas and nasty words. Theirs is the culture of sexual exclusivity, diversity, inclusion, glorifying sodomites and multiculturalism, the direct antithesis of Americanism. Trump has changed the formula for success and they can’t stand it.

Short Takes – Are the Tea Party’s Moribund?
Opinion June 6, 2018
Are the Tea Party’s Moribund?
“Associated Press declares Republican ‘Tea Party’ era has faded away…..” Hummn? Maybe, but I disagree with the premise asserted here by noting that pop-up, grass root political organizations like Tea Party’s, were mostly filled with aroused, angry people born in the 40’s and 50’s, who lived through the WW2 years and beyond, and enjoyed America’s post-war heyday of economic growth, prosperity and good living, only to see their parents achievements being replaced by the corrupting philosophy’s of national socialism, the same socialism their parents had just defeated. It was their parents who were the “Greatest Generation” and today, their children tend to get a bit tired after they’ve accomplished what they set out to do.
Regardless of clearly commercial Internet Tea Party organizations that claim some primary roll over the movement, Tea Party’s were really local attempts to make a difference by people who realized their Representative were not doing what the base wanted but instead were spending without control and raising taxes to pay for it. Taxed Enough Already was the Tea Party’s mantra and still is. What they realized was, is that politics should not be a career choice.
Attending political meetings where you’re told what you already know and nothing really seems to get done, quickly loses its appeal. Most meetings are merely platforms for speech makers to energize the enthusiasm of the base to do one thing and one thing only, effect “term limits” one politician at a time and, that has been done.
Three successive national elections has completely changed the Congress from a majority of Marxist leaning Democrats and go along to get along Republicans happy not to have been kicked out by their constituents, to a majority of Republicans being pushed and cajoled by the few Tea Party members elected to replace dangerous democrats. More Changes are coming!
Time passes and enthusiasm wanes, but not the determination to make America great. The denizens of “fly-over” America have seen the results of their combined efforts to make the changes needed in the body politic. Enthusiasts, no matter how their called, Tea Party or GOP or whatever, have succeeded. The battle is joined.
At this moment, our President is Donald Trump, not a politician but a pragmatists, a doer who is doing what he promised he would and returning to Americans the pride they felt in their country that the previous administration apologized away. Weakness invites contempt. America is no longer weak.
The Tea Party movement encouraged a morose population of patriots to get off their butts and start changing their attitudes from defeatism and disheartening acceptance of the coming Socialism, to realizing the righteousness of America’s constitutional representative government, and connivence others to change their attitudes too. It worked in three successive elections.
Today, we see a rising tide of minority Americans of African descent realizing they have been kept on the lowest level of the economic plantation created by the Democrats, and are starting to rebel, despite what the Black Shirts of the Fascist anarchy movements, AntiFa and BLM, want. America is on the threshold of greatness and we need all our citizens involved in the task. That’s the promise Trump has brought us, and that’s the promise he’s keeping. Conservatives can no longer enjoy the policy of bipartisanship with an enemy that wants to destroy us.

Short Takes – The Blame Game
Opinion January 22, 2018
The Blame Game
The few times the US government has shut down in past couple of decades, the Republicans have been blamed. Why? Because the Democrats said so. Now, the Democrats, even in their minority demand a DACA resolution favorable to them before any budget deal to finance the government can proceed. Why is that? We kicked the Democrats, indeed the whole corrupt Democrat political machine out of any authority, over three successive election cycles. I reckon we’ve got it all. Let’s use it. Why are we still afraid to do something positive?
The Schumer Shutdown represents the epitome of Democratic playbook antics that have for years stymied Republican efforts to have a Constitutional Government instead of a corrupt one. Why? Schumer still believes he can hang this on Trump and the Republicans. Historically, Republicans, fearful of legislative combat with the Democrats, have always caved lest they be called racists and bigots..….until Donald Trump.
Democrat hypocrisy is often cited but the word “Hypocrite,” when flung at Democrats has no poison in it because Democrats refuse to react to it. Too, most voters who dwell happily in the in the Democrat sheepfold don’t know what it means anyway. Republicans need to use different words like liars, cheats and thieves. Everybody knows those words because that’s exactly what the Democrat party is, a collection of liars, cheats and thieves. “Dickie” Durban is the most recent prime example of one of these creatures, not to neglect Chuckie Schumer himself.
Republican politicians, at least those that hide their principles by calling themselves “moderates” or “compassionate conservatives,“ are deathly afraid of being accused of racism or bigotry, an accusation the Leftist media is always happy to promote. So, for years, the US government has been guided by the systemic ‘fear’ that has enabled the Socialist agenda.
08 November, 2016 should have ended all that, yet here we are, our legislators in a deadlock with a corrupt minority party over government funding because an unconstitutional, illegal, Executive Order, is considered by them to have the rule of law when it does not. The consequences are enormous for the rule of law, a return to which is essential if we are to help Trump Make America Great again. Tea Parties, take notice.
To ignore the Constitution for so many years, as the Democrats have done, appears to have become the ‘norm’ instead of the exceptional method of running a government. Now a conservative leader is standing up to the Democrats and their socialist agenda and the Republicans can’t seem to get a handle on how to move forward. Good ol’ Harry Reid showed us the way.
If the Republicans want to get moving, do as Harry Reid did, eliminate the senate 60 vote filibuster rule and get on with making America Great Again. I remind Republicans, that Democrats are the minority and should stay that way forever. As for filibuster, if fairness is all that important, than require the Senators, in fact, to stand in the well and filibuster. Then the whole country will know where their Senator really stands.
In their minority, obstructionism is the only tool Democrats have left. Trump is dismantling their years of hard work to drag America firmly into the Socialist camp and ultimately the One World Order scheme. The Democrats love of Marxist-Socialist dogma remains a continuing threat to a Constitutional America. It’s time to move on no matter how painful it might be.

Short Takes – What Has Hollywood Done Now?
Opinion January 11, 2018
What has Hollywood Done Now?
Well, well, well, In yet another staged gala event awarding themselves statues and recognitions, The Golden Orbs awards ceremony, filled with Hollywood’s beautiful people dressed in black to make a visual statement about something that irks them, joined together with unbridled enthusiasm to proclaim their new messiah, Oprah Winfrey as their 2020 Presidential choice.
That won’t go well with the Democrats who still have their usual suspects, the elderly Joe Biden, Chuckie Schumer, Barry Sanders, the Indian maiden, Liz Warren, and dementia challenged Nancy Pelosi, hanging around their necks like albatrosses or hangman nooses. No, Oprah is good for preaching the Progressive line, expressing costly empathy for the poor and downtrodden, the illegals and homeless and those living in the shadows, but not as president. That simply won’t do! One presidential disaster is enough to overcome.
Admittedly, Oprah made a wonderfully stirring speech against something or other, the powerlessness of women one supposes, that could be classified right up there with Obama’s speech to the Democratic Party Convention in Chicago a few years ago. That speech, like Oprah’s, quickly brought Obama instant political recognition and then the presidency a few years later which he promptly set about “changing.” Obama was a fascist. Oprah is a products salesman.
For 2020, the elephant in the room is the sitting President, Donald Trump. He is getting things done by setting America back on it constitutional tracks, while being the constant object of left wing media derision, fake news attacks designed to undermine his administration, and personal attacks against his family, his associates and his administration. Oh, hell, attacks against anything Conservative and everything Trump.
The need to make comparisons cannot be ignored. Both Trump and Oprah are very wealthy in their own rights and that recommends them for good business sense. Trumps skills lie in recognizing where money can be made, not out of wacky ideas or from printing presses, but of seeing potential in community growth, offering people what they want and buying property to build structures that will accomplish those goals. He spreads the wealth. So does Oprah, but on a commercial scale of product identification and salesmanship. She’s very good at it.
Other skills Trump enjoys is the ability to successfully negotiate with people, to make them happy with the deal, as well as making his investors happy. That’s called Capitalism and the fall out for it is increased employment for the communities he builds in and taxes for government.
Oprah is wealthy because she knows how to sell products, save her money and spread wealth and happiness to the people she employees and the people she hocks her products to. Not too shabby, and another great example of Capitalism at work. Both are hard workers and it shows,
But Trump also saw how quickly a rogue government can steal a populations economic vitality by ignoring the rules of economics (socialism) through onerous rules and regulations. He sought to correct it by running for President with the expressed purpose of making America great again. The people bought it and he is doing exactly what he promised he would do, like Jesus kicking the money changers out of the temple. 2020 is three years away. Can Hollywood really sell us Oprah? Can she do what Trump has done? That remains to be seen, but don’t bet on it.

Draining the Swamp
Opinion November 16, 2018
It’s sad to know that my lost faith in the GOP congress to make America great again was not
misplaced. Once again, having been knocked back into their familiar role as the losing boot
lickers they have become, content to sup on what the Democrats feed them, the remaining
House Republicans, as expected, have elevated a RINO into the minority leadership role to
continue the GOP’s groveling at the feet of Americas National Socialist Party.
Have the GOP members learned nothing? Are Americans to suffer the whining nonsense of
GOP congressmen making promises they won’t keep, or suffer two years of John Kasich trying
to become President so America can benefit from his version of “bipartisanship” with the devil?
It certainly looks that way. Are Republicans really the losers they appear to be? Probably!
This 2018 election had some surprises in it not generally recognized. For the Democrats, the
loudest winners are the new young Marxists like Alex Ocasio-Cortez, a poor rich girl, an
educated bartender but a demonstrably illiterate politician who doesn’t even know or understand
the main elements of her degree majors – economics and International relations. Yet she shouts
and screams idiocy demanding implementation of socialism for all and who, as the youngest
congressman ever, has become the darling of the liberal press. Gag reflex here!
What’s not reported is that many of the new Democrats campaigned as ‘moderates,’ easily
winning seats left vacant by the mass exodus of fearful RINO congressmen afraid of the Blue
wave that didn’t come, except for their seats simply because they were absent. That was an
exercise in draining the swamp par excellence Trump couldn’t count on it but came anyway.
What we are witnessing is a continued draining of the swamp as Trump promised. Draining
anything, especially a swamp, can be a slow, harrowing process especially when the outlets are
clogged by really stupid people who refuse to leave even in the face of insurmountable odds.
Americans want that swamp drained. No more business as usual.
The vast departure of RINO’s is actually a boon to the GOP in the long run. GOP Congressmen
who fail to support President Trump and his swamp draining effort, will soon find themselves
outside again. Eventually, the Jim Jordan’s will take over and the McCarthy’s, Scaliest’s and
Ryan’s, and other favorites of big business, will be subordinate to constitutional political reason.
The world has it’s leaders, many come from within political parties, some from the military. and
precious few from business. Presently, American politics is nearly bereft of any real leadership
except for President Trump who has become, by practice and deed, a leader among leaders.
Germany’s Merkel is on her way out after having polluted the entire European culture with the
followers of Mohammed. So is Britain’s Teressa May, not wanting to give up EU membership.
France’s Macron can’t last long either with the wealthy people leaving in droves, the Muslims
filling up the housing and Sharia suborning French laws.
America still has its leaders. But, many simply won’t apply when they know the crazed Marxist
Democrat Party will defame their names, defile their reputations and besmirch their honor, just
to keep America immobile and helpless before the storm. Contrary to the hopes of Mr. John
Kasich of Ohio, there can be no bipartisanship with evil. Politicians must decide if they will serve
as real statesmen, honest and true, or morph into the likes of Diane Feinstein, Chuckie
Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. They must have that chance anyway. Drain the damn swamp!

07, Nov 2018 – And Nothing Really Has Changed
Opinion November 7, 2018
5:00 am, 07 Nov 2018 – By now, most people are acquainted with national voting outcomes and realize
there was no wave, Red or Blue and American politics will remain a mishmash. Democrats regained the
House by 34, meaning two more years of stalemate. Republicans kept the Senate by increasing their hold
there by three. Missed by the media is that the candidates that Trump campaigned for all won. Trump
now will turn to the use of his veto pen. Military spending will slow, for two years at least, and spending for
illegals will be vetoed to death. It will be a wasted two years for Democrats, but the Judiciary will turn to its
original roots of strict constitutionalism. Watch Trump negotiate the art of the deal with Democrats.
Sorting out voting results for local and other state candidates and issues will take a while. That the US
House of Representatives slipped back into Democrat hands, while consistent with mid-presidential term
voting patterns, is still an issue that will ensure continued political conflict and an even wider divide
between Conservative and Socialist supporters of the direction America will take. Will this signal another
step toward a Venezuela and Cuba style life or a misstep of retaining Americans position as the worlds
economic and military steadying super power? Imagine, Nancy Pelosi once again as Speaker of the
House and that demented screeching mad Max(ine) Waters chairing the House Financial Committee. The
inmates are truly taking control of one wing of the asylum.
I lay the loss of the House of Representatives at the feet of Speaker Paul Ryan, a hopeless never
Trumper extrodinaire, whose lack-luster performance for supporting conservative trending Republican
candidates betrayed his desire for retaining a big government, ’business as usual,’ anybody but Trump
attitude. But, he’ll be gone soon and a rearrangement of the chairs on the Houses deck will commence
while the screaming Democrats start their inquisition trials against Trump and Kavanaugh. Wait for it.
Sadly, Scott Walker, three time winning Governor of Wisconsin, (don’t forget the recall) was outed by a
percentage point to Tony Evers, so watch as that state once again slips under the corrupt influence of
union thuggery. Kansas, whose Republican Attorney General, Kris Kobach, took a shot at the
Governorship lost to Democrat Laura Kelly, while Florida remained all “Red.” It is now safe for the DoJ to
indite losing Democrat candidate Andrew Gillum for his fraud crimes. California, under Gavin Newsom,
will continue to function as a pitiful example of Americas potential Venezuela outcome. Blackburn won the
Republican seat vacated by a RINO and McSally kept Arizona in GOP hands.
The good news is that most of the House Republicans whose seats were challenged and won by
Democrats, were Republicans who quit or retired leaving a vacant seat to be refilled. So be it! Most of the
emotional news worthy Senate contests fell favorably to Republicans, including Arizona, Texas. Democrat
Senators in battleground states who voted against Justice Kavanaugh, all lost and that includes
Missouri’s Macaskill. Michigan's splendid Republican candidate for Senate, West Point graduate and
combat veteran John James slipped below the waves, while a dead whorehouse owner in Nevada won
his House seat.
I’ll not continue with more election results because they’ll be all the news today. What I will say is that
America clearly stands at the edge of meaningless. The next several years will be a head butting contest
between a Constitutional, law abiding citizenry and Sanctuary City, open border loving Socialists.
What was revealed is that democrats gains came despite their having absolutely no program to run on
except “Impeach Trump.” The campaigns of Democrat candidates were all propaganda and fake news,
designed to move their candidate to the center politically, and avoid what they realize is a non-starter for
most Americans, the aura of being a true communist candidate.
Conservatives have two years to reconstruct their Congressional candidates to rid congress of the
remaining RINO’s. Pelosi, if she survives her own caucus, should be a boon to regaining the house in two
years.
For Republicans, cleansing the institutions charged with the education of America’s children in our nearly
totally corrupted colleges and universities, must become a priority. Challenging them directly won’t work but making them redundant can. Conservatives must also keep up their pursuit of the Black and Latino
voters and convince them to leave the Democrat plantation for conservatism where they can have the
opportunity to prosper. The next time I use the term “Republican” and don’t have to hold my breath doing
so, will be when conservatives predominate in the Congress, the Senate remains Republican and Trump
starts his second term.
Watch for the Left to reengage their shock-troops to hit the streets in support of any issue they think
necessary to boost their limited power and, their power is limited. The swelling sanctuary city rolls will
economically collapse those leftist governments that have abandoned the rule of law while anarchy will
sweep their streets when they run out of tax payer funds. Expect Paul Ryan to challenge Trump for
President in 2020 but first, he’ll have to nudge former Governor of Ohio, John Kasich, out of the way.
For the next few years, bipartisanship will be a nonstarter. We’re in for an interesting two years and
Conservatives have a lot of work to do so, we cannot lose faith, but get out there and get busy; continue
the attack on the idiots and idiocy of the Left.
Finally, the good news is that I can now have my e-mail back. Daily, and I suspect most of you also,
delete hundreds of pleas for donations, double donations, split donations and etc. especially from
democrats PAC’s whining about being stabbed in the back and etc.
Today is the first day of Trump’s campaign for re-election. He’s a winner so let’s find politicians who will
work with him.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way, now, go get ‘em! (07Nov18)

The Democrat tergiversation of their once rock-solid position on illegal immigration and how to

Good ol’ Harry Reid, the hypocrite, when he was Senate Majority Leader, once spoke out
eloquently on the subject saying that America had a duty to protect its borders and should do so
by changing the law to forbid the idea of anchor babies as legitimate American citizens as the
14th amendment was then, and still is, interpreted. “If you grant citizenship to children of parents
who have no lawful right to be in the United States, you’ll get more would-be parents attempting
to enter the United States unlawfully.” Thousands are approaching our border right now.
Harry even wrote a law for consideration. Reid’s 1993 proposal was intended to try to change
the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment by an Act of Congress, i.e.: a law. The basis of
Reid’s proposal was to: “declare that any person born after the date of enactment of this title to
a mother who is neither a citizen of the United States nor admitted to the United States as a
lawful permanent resident, and which person is a national or citizen of another country of which
either of his or her natural parents is a national or citizen or is entitled upon application to
become a national or citizen of such country, shall be considered as born subject to the
jurisdiction of that foreign country and not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within
the meaning of section 1 of such Article and shall therefore not be a citizen of the United States
or of any State solely by reason of physical presence within the United States at the moment of
birth.” Well, obviously that didn’t catch hold but, if it had it would have then presented another
problem for the flip-flopping Democrats, how to get rid of it.
Senator, Barak Obama, once defended actions that would deny America birthrights to children
of illegal gate crashers. Then he signed DACA. How do you spell hypocrisy? Democrat?
Trump tossed out a signal that he would cease the practice of legalizing anchor babies born in
America to illegal mothers by executive order and, predictably, the left and its media went nuts
again. Trump is trolling them and they rise to his bait. There is an old saying that cautions:
“Never argue with an idiot because he’ll drag you down to his level and beat you to death with
his experience.” That might as well be said for Donald Trump. Don’t try to argue with him or
match him in the field of hardball argument. You’ll lose and look stupid doing it.
One of the arguments now rising asks how Trump’s Supreme Court would handle this issue if
the Congress actually passed a law forbidding the legitimation of birthright babies as US
citizens. It is suggested they would take their good time in serious debate and consideration and
probably find the law unconstitutional. In fact, an 1800’s era Supreme Court actually did so. But,
as constitutionalists, we know that can change because we also know that Roe vs. Wade is
unconstitutional and will, hopefully someday soon, find itself on the ash heap of liberal mistakes.
I mean, murder is murder, isn’t it? How does a potential real US citizen have the opportunity to
experience the constitutional guarantees of Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness if they are
shredded in the womb before they even have the chance to find out? Just asking!
The Supreme Court cannot change the Constitution, only the laws that do not fit within its
construct. But, neither can they legislate. That’s not their job. This issue highlights the problem
of judicial activism that is the real danger to America. Maybe we can kill two birds with one
stone! Remember, freedom is the goal, the constitution is the way. No, go vote! (31Oct18)
Collapse or Political Theatrics?
Opinion September 17, 2018
The skinny figure of Obama racing onto the American political stage in a fruitless attempt to
claim credit for Trump’s economic success is one visible symptom of the inevitable collapse of
the Democratic party. Or is it? The theatrics of politics is often funny, sometimes hypocritical and
ofttimes dangerous, the players not skilled as thespians, but earnestly deadly.
Other symptoms are all around us. The uncivil behavior of Democrat Senators Cory Booker and
Kamala Harris, both hopefuls for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination, disrupting the
Kavanaugh hearings even before they got started; the scheming plan by Chuckie Schumer to fill
the senate judicial hearing chamber with protestors, one of which was later photographed
outside receiving a cash payment from a radical leftist organizer; the absolutely asinine, last
minute revelation of an anonymous letter breathlessly alleging a sexual assault by Judge
Kavanaugh in his high school years. Where did that aging blowhard, California Senator Diane
Feinstein, come up with something that? Desperation, that’s where!
Former senator, failed Secretary of State and Ketchup heir, John Kerry (who has three purple
hearts from paper cuts he received in Vietnam), is actively undermining US policy on Iran by
illegally running off to advise the Iranians on how to out-wait Trumps presidency. He admits it.
Can he be charged with treason? These are only a few of the derangement symptoms currently
on display by radical leftist democrats.
Of course Feinstein, in all her pious seriousness immediately forwarded the anonymous
missive, like any good citizen would, to the FBI where, presumably it was received by them with
the contempt it so richly deserved, “Oh hum” and a quick trip to the round file.
Mr. John Kerry, has been upbraided by President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo,
for activities “unseemly and unprecedented” meaning treasonous, and Kerry’s fall back position
is to tell the President to read his book, Every Day is Extra. Knowing Kerry’s long known far left
radical sympathies, it isn’t difficult to assume his book is but a conflated list of excuses for his
socialist leaning diplomatic failures. Remember, like Obama, John Kerry too has a legacy to
save.
Will the Democrats penchant to continually grasp for symbols of their heroism, never end? Why
does Cory Booker believe he had an “I am Spartacus” moment? Why did the leftist media claim
Obama’s return to the political stage was as “the Return of the Jedi?” These are serious
questions.
And of course the biggest piece of democrat theatrics ever conceived, the Mueller Investigation
of Donald Trumps (alleged) collusion with those scheming Russians, continues apace in the
medias efforts to throw off the collusion by Hillary Clinton onto the shoulders of Donald Trump.
Nearly two years have passed and the only true and actual collusion found was committed by
the Democrats, especially the yet un-indited criminal Hillary Clinton. The evidence, not symbols,
of her criminality and treason are no longer so opaque they can’t be dealt with almost
immediately after the DoJ is finally purged of it’s Orwellian Obama obstructionists.
The raft of Leftist millennials, especially females, running for congress, seem to be out of touch
but, that’s because they are but youthful amateurs not skilled in the art of dissemblege, yet! When
they do, we had better be prepared for ‘em because they won’t be acting. Remember, freedom
is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (15Sept18)
Short Takes – How Deep is the Deep State?
Opinion July 20, 2018
How Deep is the Deep State?
The outrage from the remnants of the Bush, Clinton, Obama administration’s, supported by the Leftist media keeps trumpeting against the supposed “faux pas” Trump made in his Helsinki summit with Putin. This includes the seriously nonsensical cries of “TREASON.”
Definitely not treason. I’ll go with a “faux pas” (a stumble) but nothing, absolutely nothing, Trump has done compares with the absolute treasonous activity of Hillary Clinton with her sale of American uranium to Russia, her unauthorized email server passing classified information, her aides destroying evidence (Cell devices) and her Clinton Foundation’s money laundering for Clinton’s profit. All that criminality is ignored by the press, by most Republicans, by the DNC whose deranged activists not only destroyed evidence, but denied the FBI the right to examine the physical evidence of the DNC’s alleged hacked computers, not to mention the DNC’s imported Congressional IT experts, a whole family nest of Pakistani Muslim spies.
The question now circulating is did Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein allow special counsel Mueller to publicize his indictment of several Russian operatives just before Trumps Helsinki Summit with Vladimir Putin to stop the summit, affect its outcome or embarrass the President? Rosenstein said he informed the President three days before Helsinki and Trump didn’t object. Okay! That’s the politics today. I’ll leave it at that because tomorrow there will be yet another outrage for the Democrats to glam up on. It’s just a matter of patience. One day something could stick.
How about let’s play ‘Jeprody,’ except I’ll provide the answer: “Who is Lisa Barsoomian?”
Lisa H. Barsoomian is an attorney, a graduate of Georgetown Law School. She’s a protege of both Robert Mueller and James Comey. She worked for R. Craig Lawrence and represented Bill Clinton in 1998. She also represented Robert Muller three times, James Comey five times, Barack Obama forty-five times, Kathleen Sibelius fifty-six times, Bill Clinton forty more times and Hillary Clinton seventeen times not to mention the FBI at least five times. She’s good!
Unlike the demented Left that seeks fault in Trumps every nuance and demands his immediate Impeachment, the folks she represented were doubtless sued by some organization or another, for some frivolous complaint or other. The courts are filled with this stuff. it’s all a matter of looking it up. She’s a lawyer, a good one apparently, doing the jobs she was hired for. But, who is she and why should we care?
We should care because all her files, documents and court cases relating to the Clinton’s are being purged including her defense of Bill Clinton in the Hamburg vs. Clinton case in 1998 and its appeal in 1999. In my world, once, purges like this, or change of stations, suggested the need to protect an informant in some scheme against a criminal element or a foreign government. Was/is she an Intelligence agent? I won’t speculate further except to note that her email address is with the NIH, a known hiding place for deep cover government operatives. The NIH is the inoffensively titled National Institutes of Health. Just saying!
Much of her professional work was defending American Intelligence agencies from FOIA requests. She has been involved, reportedly, in hundreds of cases representing the US Attorneys office in Wash. DC. But here, I should point out that we’re venturing into the dark world of the American Intelligence Community that Trump allegedly dissed in his Helsinki remarks that has the Left in a tizzy.
Isn’t it the American Intelligence community that has been actively engaged in organizing a Coup against President Trump ever since his election? Which brings us back to the continuing, dull, mind deadening Mueller Investigation that will never cease. Why?
Well, because, among other things, it deals with Trumps tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, funding the border wall, providing amnesty to the illegal Stateless children (DACA) collecting on our borders, protects the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Jeff Sessions recusal and other dangerous changes to the Deep State that Trump is bringing down.
Where does Barsoomian fit in and why should we care? Because she is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s wife. How about them apples? Nothing I’ve mentioned here is secret or classified in any way. It’s all from open sources.

Short Takes – Independence Day, Can We Keep it?

Independence Day, Can We Keep It?
As Americans, we see that the focus of the rising tempo of incivility in our public discourse has moved from politics to issues of culture and we must ask why? Well, it’s because for America, the political arguments have already been settled although one side won’t admit it. It’s settled because of our Constitution which gives us our inalienable rights. The defense of that document has risen exponentially to the assault on it.
The great struggle now, between constitutionalists and the marxists has morphed into the cultural arena that avoids the distasteful facts of logic, truths and law, those trivial little items that impede their move to socialism. Its tenants, protected by “political correctness,” allows PC proponents to range widely in their destructive process of changing America’s culture, if not its laws, before the people could catch on. It almost worked, then along came Trump!
Political Correctness is the hand-maiden of diversity, multiculturalism, socialism, fascism and communism. It is the vehicle used to change our cultural norms. For example, once, the important emphasis taught in school was on the proper use of the English language. After the Civil Rights law era, It was abandoned as a requirement specifically because of diversity, inclusiveness and multiculturalism. Some couldn’t or wouldn’t understand it. Today, our language is a mishmash of Babel. That’s only one aspect of the Lefts hidden attack on Americas exceptionalism. If they can’t read or write, they’re going nowhere. That applies to all races.
Political correctness requires no authority. it survives on the precept of exclusion and fear. It exists solely on what “group think” determines to be correct and uses the power of the mob, whether its the media or the Hollywood Leftists, or the street thugs like Antifa and BLM, to challenge, almost daily, our Presidents authority. It is this fear that keeps us everyday, working class Americans in check because our side doesn’t do what they do. We are constitutionalists and expect the rule of law to function. We relay on debate and persuasion to make our choices and we are not prepared, yet, to bash heads
For the Left, political correctness denies the “free exercise clause” unless it’s for them alone. That requires disciplined adherence to group think or blind allegiance, and to disagree with them, is to invite the wrath of the Lefts public approbation like the rejection Kayne West is now experiencing for his apostasy.
The theater of the street, now extended into the dining rooms of public restaurants, has become the stage for the Lefts threatening noisy attacks on constitutionality and civility. Screaming over the objections of others and drowning out other opinions is the Lefts only way to stay relevant. They intend to paralyze the process by division and political polarization and until Trump, they were succeeding. That being the case, how does the once successful union of American politics and culture survive in the future? Apparently it won’t. The Left is engaged in an all or nothing battle to kill our independence and move us into the common ranks of a one world government.
To be in politics is because those are paying jobs, even if it costs more to get the job then the job pays. There’s a contradiction there, surely? But, with the job however, comes the reward of legitimate authority, until the next election. Since the authority gifted by elections is essential to the Lefts agenda, they will take all steps necessary to ensure the Left does not lose those elections. So far, it’s not workings quite well as as they had hoped. It’s our Independence day, not theirs. So enjoy it. It’s Independence Day, not July 4th. Let’s try to keep it.

Where We’re Going
It now stands without question, after James Clappers admission under the withering tongue blathering he received from that pillar of elite intellectual liberalism, Joy Behar on the “View,” that he, James Clapper and John Brennen, heads of their respective spy agencies, conspired with the FBI’s Comey, to spy on the Donald Trump campaign (Watergate x ten). The genesis for this seditious activity is simply that the criminal Hillary Clinton, lost the prize to Donald Trump. That loss left the doors open and the chickens are fleeing the roost.
Democrats truly believe that Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to (their) America and “resistance” to him is absolutely necessary. It’s “all hands to the oars,” that sort of thing. It’s amazing to see how fast their cunningly crafted house of cards is collapsing under Trump’s refusal to be bullied like any normal Republican would. They’ve become deranged at Trump’s success, befuddled by their failures to bring him down and distraught they cannot counter his successes. They are bereft of any arguments, plans or policies that would benefit America. That is why they cling to their foolish notions of a Trump-Russian collusion. But, it’s OK they did it!
Now their ‘resistance’ has passed far beyond simple dissent, it’s sedition; It’s not disagreement, it’s total hatred. We can hate the Democrats. We can suspect it’s they who are the worst thing happening to America, but we can’t work with them because they don’t play by the rules. They created their own rules that voters have rejected and, when they consistently reject the results of elections they don’t win, then all that’s left is the potential for anarchy.
Democrats have ruled for so long that they see themselves as the only legitimate power in the country. Whenever Republicans exercise power, as Trump is doing, it’s illegitimate and he faces the consequences of Impeachment. When Obama did the same things, he was praised for his brilliant leadership. The double standards there are choking, but Democrats, supported by their propaganda machine, the mainstream media, are never affected. Forget it, let’s move on.
What prompted this essay is the clumsiness of James Clapper to keep his stories straight, and the near violent reactions of John Brennan to the demands for the release of documents from the FBI and DoJ to the Congress that demands them. Brennan is near apoplectic in his reactions. Clapper and Brennan, as heads of their respective spy agencies, according to Clapper on the “View,” did spy on the Trump campaign. That’s one chicken out of the roost. There is no possible excuse or subterfuge that can obscure their treasonous act(s).
Their problem was, they failed to use the professionals in their agencies to do the dirty work relying instead on a host of foreigners, democrat office workers, in house savants of the FBI and the compliant media to protect their backs, by clouding the issues and promote their lies. Federal bureau heads seem to screw up simple operations, making mistakes the professionals under them would never make. To coin an old phrase, C,C. & B. “let the cat out of the bag.”
Republicans now hold the reins of complete power, and don’t know what to do. But, what do the Democrats do? They set about, right or wrong, obstructing Trumps initiatives trying to save Obama’s agenda through the federal courts and what’s left of their bureaucratic deep state. When a federal judge issues an order telling the President of the United States he cannot perform this or that function, then that’s like the first guns fired at Ft. Sumpter. Has it started? Yes it has, but a long time ago. It could get very messy now. We must be prepared.

A Not Unlikely Solution to the North Korea Problem
A time, date and place has been picked for the historic first meeting between a North Korean family oligarch despot and a definitely nonpolitical mover and shaker President of the United States. The world stands back in breathless anticipation. I still think that “Rocketman” will generate an excuse to back out except, he has lost the favor of China. but, we’ll see!
When one views the whole of the Far-East Asian sphere from space, nearly all the countries, especially Communist China, the largest, are enjoying unparalleled economic prosperity, except there sits, nestled among them North Korea, a small squalid little country, a rotten black spot on the earth un-illuminated by either the science of electricity, the ingenuity of invention or any level of prosperity for its starving people; a savage little kingdom that spends any money it gets on the toys of destruction. and exists only by the power of its threats.
One could suppose the only reason for North Korea’s existence is to keep South Korea from being an Island. We know it exists because we can see it from space in the daylight but as the shadows of night envelope the Korean peninsula, the hermit kingdom retreats like a sea worm back into its dark hole of obscurity, save for the occasional nuclear test flash.
North Korea only exists at China’s pleasure. Now they are becoming a nuisance with their nuclear threats to America, their nuclear detonations that have collapsed a mountain and spewed radioactive contamination, and is still contaminating, a large area of Chinese Manchuria, North Korea itself, the aquifers that lie beneath them, and the Yalu River that is now carrying the poisonous contamination to the Sea of Japan.
China does not want a united Korea on its borders, especially one united under the South Korean model. So, what to do? To solve the problem of the petulant Kim Jung Un, once and for all, China should remove Kim and the hierarchy of the North Korean government that supports him and replace it with a Chinese approved North Korean puppet government and allow No. Korea to enter the prosperity sphere enjoyed by all other asian countries and, that quickly, the Kim problem is solved for everyone. China doesn’t need Kim, it needs quite.
What would China ask in return? How badly does China want their problem child on its border neutralized? I suppose they would demand the return of Taiwan for sure, complete hegemony in the South China Sea, both economic and militarily, and a demand the US Fleet stay out of its waters. Naturally, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia, Malaysia & etc. would never agree to that but, those are the cards laid out on the table and they’ll have to be played or negotiated. Trump is the very man for that.
Of course, for successful US policy, the Democrats can never, ever be allowed again to have a seat at that table. If Obama’s foreign policy fiascos are indicative of how a future Democrat government will govern, then it would be a greater danger to the entire world than is Kim.
Obama and Kerry’s Iranian fiasco, their leadership characterized only by back door agreements with Islamist militants, unsupported by any treaty, but agreed upon by a sheepfold of political lackey’s, then Kim and his Ilk, would stay in power forever.
it’s in the Democrats genes to ruin anything that would make America Great Again and doesn’t support inclusion, diversity, multiculturalism, perversion, and etc., etc., & etc.!
