Senator David Perdue Comments On End Of Schumer Shutdown
State & National January 23, 2018
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA) made the following statement after Senate Democrats agreed to end the Schumer Shutdown and reopen the federal government:
“It is ridiculous that we were ever in the Schumer Shutdown in the first place. I’m glad to see that Senate Democrats came to their senses and stopped this nonsense. It is frustrating that this is the same proposal that was offered to them days ago before they decided to shut down the government over immigration. Senate Democrats took their political stunt a step too far since a majority of Americans support funding the federal government over continuing the DACA program. Clearly, Congress’ budget process is a complete failure. It has only worked four times in the past 43 years, and given the current political dynamics it will never work. Tying important policy decisions to the funding process is the reason we end up in these damaging situations. It’s time Congress gets serious about reworking the way we fund the federal government. That way we can start tackling other big ticket items such as fixing our immigration system and beginning to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure.”
Senator Perdue is the only Fortune 500 CEO in Congress and is serving his first term in the United States Senate, where he represents Georgia on the Armed Services, Banking, Budget, and Agriculture Committees.
Short Takes – See What Trump Has Wrought

See What Trump has Wrought
Rumor has it that the GOP will suffer terrible losses in 2018, an off year election losses that comes as surely as Elm blight comes in January. Rumor also has it that the Democrats may survive their current malise and sweep all before them in the off year election, if the had something to offer. A return of Obamacare perhaps, or more perverts in bathrooms? How about making all of America a “sanctuary” country by law? Yes, that should do it. Good selling points.
Why is it assumed that the alternative to the GOP should be a Democrat? They have moved so far to the “Left” as to be no longer recognizable as an American institution. They are a facsimile replica of the old Communist Party USA, an odious group of Marxist-Leninist social engineers whose goal, as a political philosophy, was top down “collectivism.” Losers for over 100 years.
American’s already cast their vote for change when they elected Donald Trump despite the screaming establishment GOP’ers who fought against him and the purveyors of doom and gloom, the geriatric Democrat leadership who fear the truth of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” program could doom them forever. We now know Trump was not bombast but a man of action. We took our chances as voters sick and tired of “diversity and multiculturalism, lying and stealing, Hillary Clinton and her Money laundering foundation and, we see it’s working.
It has taken a year for the “Establishment” GOP to realize that Trump, like a bulldozer, has made changes never thought possible. That’s what Americans wanted, a fighter, not a phony group name that was scared to do anything against the supposed might of the Democrat colossus that wielded power for themselves, not Americans, like they were entitled to it.
Democrat programs have turned out to be a concoction of lies designed solely to social engineer American society into a diverse, multicultural collection of perverts, homosexuals, transgenders and other victims that would keep the Democrats in power. Americans do not want “sanctuary cities” harboring illegal criminals, protecting them from the consequences of their crimes. Americans do not want perverts sharing bathroom facilities with their little children. Americans do not want “collectivism” as their guiding principles but rather would prefer a return to some level of moral and cultural certainty based on the centuries of Judaeo-Christian moral codes that made America great.
For 2018, Trump’s successes are out in the open for all to see. Passing the major overhaul of the “Progressive Tax Plan,” including all but killing off Obamacare by eliminating the odious mandate to buy the thing, is a success that should be trumpeted daily. Let Democrat politicians try to explain why they voted against tax cuts when the rewards start flowing in simply because they didn’t like Trump? Republicans had best get on board and help Trump, not hinder him.
Americans are vaguely aware that the EPA is being reduced and its unconstitutional laws, rules and regulations are being rolled back returning to property owners control of their own property. The Dept. of Energy, under former Texas Governor Rick Perry, is likewise making changes to advance America’s role in the energy sector. Now, we’re selling energy, not buying it.
Another occurrence this past week that made the Democrats go berserk was Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the legitimate capital of Israel. That act alone flushed out the real enemies of the US, the third world nations in the UN enjoying the generosity of American taxpayers. Supported by Nikki Haley that could bode ill for them. Americans want out of the UN!

That Gun Argument Again
Opinion October 16, 2017
That Gun Argument Again…
Good ol’ Sen. Diane Feinstein (D- Ca). She can always be counted on to reveal the obvious. On Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press, she said: “the U.S. is a “gun happy country,…“and I think there are many of us in growing numbers that don’t want a gun-happy country.” Of course she’s wrong but was referring to the annual deaths of Americans by gun fire. She could have said the US is a gun-savvy country but that wouldn’t have fit the Progressive narrative needed to disarm all American, to protect us from gun violence, a la Las Vegas.
Last weeks mass murder in Las Vegas, by a deranged, white millionaire gunman who shot himself to death before his apprehension, gave the anti-self-defense and anti-second amendment crowd another platform of self-serving outrage to attack our Constitution.
Let’s change one word in her sentence and see where that goes: “The U.S. is a car happy country…and I think there are many of us in growing numbers who don’t want a car happy country.” Or, “The US is a hammer-happy Country…etc. & etc.” I substitute cars and hammers because these two inanimate objects account for more killings in America than guns do.
The Progressives, like Diane Feinstein, a multi-millionaire, can hire gun toting bodyguards to safeguard her person but, that’s really only from attempts at assassinations. Most Americans are subject to the sudden armed assault on the mean streets of America, or home invasions, or attempts at car-jacking from mall parking lots. These people need to defend themselves.
One third of all gun deaths in America, apart from the body count occasioned by the Las Vegas murders, are suicides. More people are killed in domestic assaults by hammers than guns and the score racked up by vehicles, jihadists included, outpaces them all.
So, why the assault specifically against firearms and not hammers and cars? All three are inanimate objects. All three require a human being to actuate them and all three are capable of killing, yet it is only the firearm, the possession of which is specifically permitted to Americans, as enshrined in the 2d Amendment, yet still stands as a horror to Progressive politicians.
The Anti-gunners argue that hammers and cars are needed daily by society to grow and guns are not. And there they miss the big picture. Society is growing and as it does it generates its own class of citizens who do not wish to participate. They won’t swing a hammer, or buy a car but they’ll go out of their way to possess a gun. What does a street creep want with a gun except to intimidate others, steal from them the rewards of their labor and leave a trail of dead bodies. Why do Progressives, like Diane Feinstein, want to deny Americans their right to self-defense from such predators?
Worse, the Founders clearly foresaw the dangers of Progressive governments, human nature being what it is, growing into a totalitarian state that, to defend itself, threatens all citizens. They foresaw the indispensable right of those citizens to especially be able to defend themselves from government despotism. And that’s what scares the hell out of Diane Feinstein, et. al..
One statistic I have omitted but is available for confirmation is, that thus far, all the mass shooting outrages committed in the USA, since Columbine, have been committed by either committed Liberals or registered Democrats. Therefore, the logical answer is to prohibit Democrats from owning firearms. Simple, isn’t it? Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now go get ‘em! (10Oct1)
Can The Swamp Be Drained?

Can The Swamp Be Drained?
It’s a crying shame that Dr.Tom Price, former Ga 6th District Rep. and Trumps appointed Secretary of Health & Human Services, saw it necessary to cave in to the leftist media’s tsunami attack on his transportation woes. The “Establishment”, the corrupted one world government crowd of Progressivism, can now proudly hang another trophy head on their wall. It appears the VA Secretary may be next followed by whomever shows even a hint of weakness. Beware, the establish will eat its own.
But let’s be truthful. This is not an accident. It’s a coordinated ‘establishment’ attack by our ‘betters’ to neuter Trump presidency they see as dangerous to their lifestyle. They haven’t been able to demonize or criminalize Trump, so they have now started picking around the edges claiming a trophy here and a trophy there until Trump’s vision of draining the swamp collapses into the very swamp we know he was talking about. They will drown him in vile pettiness.
They are stealing our election. Do not look to the GOP for succor. They are all in for the kill. This is larger than just Democrats and Republicans wanting to retain power; this is a massive coordinated, well funded attack by the “establishment elites,” funded by their financial cronies, to maintain the status quo. The organizers behind it don’t really care if the government is Constitutional, Socialist, Marxist or Fascists so long as the money brokers control the strings that make all us puppets dance to their tune.
John Kasich, Republican Governor of Ohio, a total establish bureaucrat, is licking his chops waiting to offer himself up once again as America’s best hope. Hope for what? Government through bipartisanship? That’s all he talks about. Hope is just wishful thinking as we learned after suffering eight years of “Hope and Change’ during the excruciating Obama days. Bipartisanship with Democrats simply means that our side caves in to their sides Progressive agenda, an agenda the American voters rejected in the past three elections and continue to reject with the recent primary election of firebrand Ala. Senatorial candidate, Judge Roy Moore.
Now we have to continue the fight, It is incumbent upon conservative voters everywhere to stand up and be counted, to understand, as Reagan cautioned, “Don’t look to Government to solve the problem, the government is the problem” and realize that…“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!.” …Mario Savio, UC Berkeley, Dec. 2, 1965.
The ‘machine’ is trying to save itself. With the alarming exodus of Trumps conservative cabinet secretaries, presidential advisers, associates and mid-level managers, it appears the deep state could win the battle after all. The next generation following us are becoming our enemies, brainwashed as they have been by the socialist dogma spewing from lecture stands in our colleges and universities. How can it be stopped? Can the swamp be drained? How do we address America’s history without being challenged over its every perceived error?
But what about the swamp? If you haven’t read The Art of the Deal, you can’t possibly understand Trumps tactics. He will get around to draining the swamp. It’s a three step plan with steps one and two almost completed. I don’t think a mere politician has the tactical skills to compete with Donald Trump. He’s a lot smarter than the average bear. More later.

Who’s Really Obstructing Justice?

Who’s Really Obstructing Justice?
With the Democrats now in complete control only of the House, they’ll use it as a child would a sandbox, a place to play with their toys, scatter sand in others children eyes and run off and pout if things don’t go their way. The frustration of their inaction will mount, because everything anti-Trump that comes out of their legislative sandbox or supports progressivism in any way, will simply die a natural death on Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell’s desk.
But, not to worry. Apart from two years of dysfunctional Democrat legislative nonsense, it will also be two years of orgasmic democratic presidential pandering by the old guard, and the new far left Socialists, both sides aimed at defeating Americas most remarkably successful President since Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump. Figure some Republicans to join in in this scenario too.
They all hate him. He ruined all their plans; he defeated their champion, queen Hillary, exposing the depth of Deep State corruption. He revealed the multiple high crimes and misdemeanors on the Democrats part and, he immediately set about destroying Obama’s legacy of leading from the rear by reversing Americas economic decline by over regulation, by restoring Americas damaged foreign policy, and by halting the transition of socialism into American culture.
Nancy Pelosi, whose grasp of her party’s leadership, as tenuous as her scattered thought process, is fixated on destroying Trump but she has lost control of her machine. The newly minted Democrat-Socialist congresspersons however, want Progressive legislation first, i.e.: all that free stuff, and they will be pulling her to the far left to comply, or pushing her out.
Among Nancy’s mental aberrations is her fixation on Trumps impeachment and the only tool she can possibly use now, is that silly Russian collusion business, glorified by the long suffering Mueller Investigation, already discredited as an unproven pack of manufactured lies.
That brings me to ask this question. Who is really “Obstructing Justice?” Is it Trump? I don’t think so. It’s the Deep State machine coiling up like a rattlesnake to defend itself from the inevitable, that is obstructing justice. With a corrupted DoJ, FBI and IRS in charge of the legal system, we then know that the true obstruction of justice is assured. Americans see that!
Anyway, that’s what Pelosi and Schumer will continually raise every time any hint of a threat to end the Mueller witch hunt is raised. Their constant rallying cry will be “obstruction of justice” endlessly repeated by their MSM propaganda mouth pieces. Does anyone watch ‘em anymore?
For Democrats it may be too late. The cat’s out o the bag. Pelosi and Schumer are not dealing with our standard run-of-the-mill weak-willed politician turned President. Remaining President is Trumps primary goal because he sees, as clearly as through a windex clean window, the dangers to the America he loves. Also, he implicitly understands that his base loves America too and hired him to do exactly what he is doing, dismantling the Deep State. They will suffer no commie-socialist politician(s) or leftist fake news organizations, to take him down.
Americas defense, its national security and foreign policies, were left in tatters by the corrupt politicians of the Progressive Left especially H. Clinton in Obama’s first four years and the dunce, John Kerry, as Secty of State, in the last four. Losing to Trump was not a good plan. It wasn’t expected, it wasn’t prepared for and, like children drowning in a sand box, their reaction to it was predictable, even these two long years later. TDS lives on!

A NFL Maelstrom is Coming

An NFL Maelstrom is Coming
Can it possibly be that the citadel of America’s favorite Fall pastime, the mega money making conglomerate called the National Football league and its appendage, the NFL Players Assoc., are in cahoots with the radical left, both politically and economically? “Say it ain’t so Joe.” Are they really contributing millions of dollars to George Soros and other ultra-Liberal organizations dedicated to Socializing America. Do the players know? Probably not. I’ll explain…
The outward appearance is that the NFL and the NFL Players Association are determined to destroy their brand, and their livelihoods, by continuing their “unity” crusade to disrespect every thing Americas stands for and the Left hates, including its honor, its military, its customs and traditions and even the people who support them, the same middle American’s who provide the soldiers, sailors and airmen that have stood up to defend our country.
The NFL owners tell us they respect the player’s right to exercise their free expression. I use the term “free expression” and not free speech because the majority of the kneeling players are too ignorant to articulate a cohesive speech except by the use of cliches. The supposedly college educated members of Pro-Football, it is determined, are educated to the 8th grade level.
We realize this instinctively when we hear them being interviewed on the sidelines, or watch as they raise a leg doggie style on a goal post to signify their status in the pack, and Americans are starting to realize that pro-football has turned into a side-show of muscled freaks, each trying to out do the other with their dancing skills in the end zone to the screaming cheers of their team fanatics. As we watch we determine, to ourselves, that while the antics we see may be stupid, even outrageous, they are no longer unexpected. The reins of restraint have been loosened and the flood gate of sub-cultural habits are pouring out. It is becoming the new norm.
Why has the NFL and the NFL Players Assoc. donated millions to the leftists political organizations like the Center for Community Change, a George Soros group, and the Leftist “Working America” that is devoted to bringing down the Trump presidency? I’m just asking. Shouldn’t you? Why are our high cost entertainment dollars being spent to help topple a government? Is it because the Progressive Left still believes they will return to power and will need spectacular games and ignorant gladiators to keep the citizenry happy while the world collapse around them? Yes indeed, a maelstrom is coming!
And, the basis of their alleged complaints lies in what happened 150 or so years ago when blacks were actually slaves. Today blacks, who are not slaves and never were, well, at least until LBJ’s War on Poverty under 1964 Civil Rights Act, want to fight whites who were never slaveholders over Confederate symbols that were created by Democrats. So, what’s the NFL’s role in this business? I believe it’s white guilt by white team owners not wanting to injure the feelings of their ignorant slave/gladiators, by giving in to their claims of “Team Unity,” and I have no idea where that comes from. When white players join them in “taking a knee” in disrespect, it’s because they’ve been intimidated by the taunts of “Racism, and white privilege.”
It is for this reason we see the positions, once solely occupied by skilled white players on majority black teams, quickly declining; why coaching staffs are turning darker and why more broadcast booths are filling with fashionably suited black game prognosticators telling viewers what they just saw. It’s a happy facade. It’s in your face racism and it’s not whites doing it.

As Goes the NFL, So Goes Middle America

As Goes the NFL, So Goes Middle America
Apparently, from what I read and hear, the fast spreading flames of customer discontent to the NFL’s anti-American, anti-Veteran, anti-police position, because it is taking a “unity” stance with its over paid employees, could bring that august industry to near financial collapse. Unlike the GOP whose coming collapse is occasioned by its demonstrable untrustworthiness, the NFL’s demise will be financial. Follow the money. Sadly, I don’t think they see it coming.
The NFL, a major consumer of a large portion of middle American’s declining pot of left-over earnings, dollars left untaxed by government rules and regulations, Obamacare mandates, groceries and gasoline, is facing a catastrophe. The daily struggle to exist cost money. Nothing is free, bills must be paid and those free dollars can as easily be spent elsewhere.
Middle America not only supplies the vast earnings enjoyed by sports franchises, vendors and jersey manufactures, but it also supplies the soldiers, sailors and airmen whose job it is is to keep America safe so its citizens can enjoy the diversion of watching over paid athletes bash each other once a week in a fest of organized mayhem; or tip a little ball into a net.
In our economy, leftover from the Obama era, middle American’s exists on a shoe string, the string ends cut shorter and shorter every time Liberals gets control of the governments purse strings. Americans don’t like it, but accept it, so, to simply exist requires that they spend their free money wisely. So, the smart thing to do, one should think, is to not mess with their patriotism and treat fans like morons. The first expenses to go is that spent on entertainment.
Middle Americans entertainment dollars are spent on beer, fishing, big trucks, BBQ, the NFL and the NBA. So far fish, big trucks and Bass boats have not registered protests to Americas traditions of rendering respect to our flag, our anthem or our military. If pro sports organizations continue the trend of disrespect to those traditions, then they can expect their share of middle Americas entertainment dollars to dwindle away.
I’m not at all conflicted by what’s going on here. It’s Progressive (Marxist) politics, attacking one more of America’s remaining religious institutions, organized pro-sports. They have all but eliminated the Christin religion from our culture, so, the next “opiate of the working class,” NFL and NBA pro sports, has to go as well. Already we are seeing the trickle down effect of the disrespect the NFL is showing to America’s traditions, eight year old pee wee footballers, “taking “the knee” and wondering why. They are being taught to hate America.
That Alabama’s conservative electorate chose Judge Roy Moore to face a Democrat challenger in December over appointed Republican incumbent Luther Strange, despite the President and Vice-Presidents support of Strange, signals more problems for Mitch McConnell than for Donald Trump. That the issue rises just when the Pro Football season is just getting underway, with its unfolding political problems, is a threshold moment that bears close watching. We can suppose Trumps endorsement of Strange was a sop to McConnell to appease his hurt feelings.
The NFL, on the other hand, enters the fray at their peril. They are an entertainment business, not a political one. They need money and lots of it to pay their mostly unenlightened work force the outrageous millions of dollars the players demand. Middle America knows the difference between entertainment and politics. They want ‘em separate. Hollywood is also facing a loss of its entertainment share because they have become political too.

Injustice Personified
Opinion December 14, 2018
I’m dumbstruck when I consider all the money authorized and wasted by the Republican
controlled congress over the past two years, on the baseless Trump-Russia collusion fallacy
when the low hanging fruit of the Clinton’s RICO reeking cabal that is Bill and Hillary’s self
sustaining charitable foundation offers such low hanging fruit so ripe for the picking that even
the most incompetent federal prosecutor, even one with a mail order degree, could win.
The avowed criminal, former FBI Director James Comey, by his own admission, is one of those
low hanging fruits ready for easy harvesting. He should be a “slam-dunk” for prosecution. So is
Andy McCabe and Peter Strzok, Bruce Orr and the several previously disgraced attorneys
serving on Mueller’s team of Trump hating investigators. (Sen Stevens R-AK)
Now that Pelosi and her stable of mindless idiot socialists are soon to take over the House, the
GOP has finally decided, in its last three weeks of existence, to consider the crimes of the
Clinton Foundation ignored by the DoJ, and investigate ‘em themselves. It’s all Nonsense!
Pushed for time the GOP has now decided they had better look like they are doing something to
appease the base. But remember, most of these people are still part of the “uni-party’ that is the
deep state, many of them still hate Donald Trump.
Taking down the Clintons should be easy via her foundation. Hillary, the driving force of her
foundation’s corruption, unfortunately, lacks the people skills that should keep the little people
under her, the now mass of whistleblowers coming forward, from turning “states evidence” and
dropping a dime. Many have physical evidence proving her corruption and now we learn that
one whistleblower has been the recipient of a late night FBI search warrant. Why was that? He
already gave them everything he had. It was to shut him and other whistleblowers up.
The mafia does that for their own security except they don’t take chances; the whistleblower is
usually killed publicly, for all to see so that other witnesses will readjust their commitment to law
and order. Right now, a bunch of former Clinton employees, State Dept. employees and others,
who Hillary held in contempt as simply “little people,” servants beneath her dignity, are ready to
dump on her. So, let’s get it going.
The former senior executive levels of the FBI, Director James Comey, and his associates,
considered themselves sacrosanct when it comes to enforcing the law of the United States,
except when the law interferes with their own needs. At the moment, they want Trump out of
office before they lose everything and, hiding behind the facade of counterintelligence, they set
about fabricating a case against Donald Trump, because he won and their favorite, Hillary
Clinton, didn’t. That is injustice personified and corruption at its most apparent.
One of their early targets was Trumps National Security advisor, Lt. Gen. Flynn, former Director
of the DIA, with a distinguished thirty-year army career. Through ruse and subterfuge, they
tricked the general into making statements, not under Miranda warning, that they claimed were
lies. Lying to the FBI constitutes a serious crime if nothing else can be proven. It now appears
the Federal judge involved in the Flynn case has serious doubts about the FBI’s handling of the
Flynn case. Flynn pled ‘guilty’ just to avoid bankruptcy but, none the less, he was left near
destitute, in penury. That’s injustice personified. What do we learn from this tawdry business?
Stay out of politics? Perhaps! Trust the judiciary to do the right thing or absolutely never, ever
speak to or trust the FBI? All apply.

Is It The Unravelling?
Opinion October 1, 2018
In a desperate attempt to end the ceaseless flow of campaign drivel from pretenders, PAC’s
and politicians, most of whom suffer TDS, I met another appeal from John Kasich of Ohio to
separate me from my Trump generated earnings with the following polite missive:
“Dear Governor Kasich,
No Sir, I would not like to “chip in” to your campaign. That would be a waste of money because
we absolutely do not agree. Your message isn’t making any difference at all. You will never be
President. Your policies and ideals were rejected at the last election. You tallied fourth in the
Primaries and like a silly twit you continued to campaign even when second and third place
contenders had dropped out. Voters could see that you lacked common sense.
No one believes your message because bipartisanship with Democrats cannot possibly happen.
Democrats have become America’s enemies because they are Marxists. If you continue to
believe they can be accommodated to accept a constitutional representative government with
Republicans, through bipartisanship, then you’re not only a fool but a stupid one as well.
You said you called for a delay in the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing because of “the serious
accusations against Judge Kavanaugh,” playing right into the Democrat hands to delay, delay,
delay. What serious accusations? A patently false, thirty-six-year-old hit job on an unverifiable
allegation to which not even a crime scene, time, date or place can be ascribed? That makes
you a “fellow traveler” in the true sense of the word who, like Jeff Flake, is an avid Trump hater
suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Governor, you need to get a real life and stop
pretending that you matter any more or that anybody cares about you.
Americans voted Trump as President because he told us what he was going to do, then he set
about doing it, successfully! Your “bipartisanship” BS can’t compete with Trump’s success and
Americans don’t care about a fellow who doesn’t look and act Presidential, so long as he does
what he say’s and keeps his promises. Trump is doing that. Quit trying to spoil the pie.
Kindly remove me from your email list.”…& etc.
Even now, after the two-faced Arizona, Republican Senator Jeff Flake threw a monkey wrench
into the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings with his notion of being fair and bipartisan, (he turned
over) the Democrats can no longer conceal their true motives, refill the swamp at all costs to
regain and keep power – forever!
The Democrats operation “Ford” was a clumsily organized, last-minute campaign to obstruct
and delay the confirmation of Trump’s second appointee to the Supreme Court. I can’t wait for
the third. Such a campaign had to have been well funded. We saw expensive Democrat
lawyers, paid Soros protesters in the Senate hearing room admitted via Democrat Senator
issued tickets (Schumer), and a hysterical nitwit in an elevator screaming at Sen. Flake
nonsense about not protecting her fat body, we’ve seen ejected Senate protestors being paid
cash out of doors, and now we learn that through the device of a “GoFundMe” site, Dr. Ford will
be $700,000 dollars richer at weeks end. How about them apples?
One fact remains inviolable: Jeff Flake is a moral weakling. For whatever reason (TDS) he has
violated his party’s trust, turned to the ‘Dark Side,’ and foolishly entertains the notion he has the
moxie, skill and aptitude to challenge Trump in 2020. It’s an unravelling coming for the Dark
Side. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (30Sep18)
Short Takes – DACA and US Citizenship
Opinion, Politics January 24, 2018
DACA and US Citizenship
American citizenship should be earned not awarded for simply being here. That’s what laws are for, to give applicants a fair shot at getting in. There is a pathway to citizenship available for those outsiders who apply. Yes, it’s hard and lengthly but, so what? On top of that, Democrats defending Obama’s DACA Executive Order is unconscionable because it’s not law, but opinion only, and that’s the argument Democrats want to hang their hats on, Illegals over Americans.
So far, the really stupid visa programs initiated under a Democrat regime and supported by “Compassionate Conservatives,” who do not want to be smeared as racists or bigots, have swept aside the rule of law, in the name of “fairness.” America must atone for its undeserved prosperity by welcoming in the worlds great flood of unwashed, without conditions. Whoa!
The Democrats unrestricted illegal invasion program has met strong resistance in the form of Donald Trump who has said “No more!” meaning the unfettered importation of third world denizens from S__thole countries will end. For the present America is faced with solving the problem of the many Dreamers who arrived here years ago when our guard was down.
Here’s what I would accept concerning any DACA plan that attempts to legalizes the 800,000 “Dreamers,” kids who were brought here illegally by their criminal, gate crashing parents. Understandably they had no choice but like kidnap victims, they must be returned to their home country.
Democrats cite the unchanging DACA numbers at 800,000 because that’s how many Dreamers, more or less, who actually signed up for Obama’s ‘amnesty’ program. There is in fact over three million, but for purposes of negotiations, let’s stick with the Democrats number of 800,000, most of whom have matriculated into adulthood.
First, eliminate, out of hand, those who have failed to learn English, those with MS-13 and other gang affiliations, and any “dreamer” with one or more felony or firearms convictions. A few have matriculated through college and are employed in good jobs. Save them. Some have found low level jobs, started families and avoided accumulating police records. Save them too. Of the 800,000, only around 900 have entered military service on the promised path to citizenship. Save them. Chain migration must be eliminate. Assimilation does not occur when old family units are attached to and influence, accepted immigrants.
Democrats whine about Trump wanting to spend a one time cost of $18 billion to build a wall but ignore the annual $99 Billion taxpayers cost to cloth, feed, house, educate and provide medical care to the flood of illegals spreading over our country. The Visa program, the one that allows entry on a lottery system, has proven deadly and must not even be considered in negotiations.
Some national figures should be considered in this negotiation as well. 97% of immigrants in the Dreamers grouping identify themselves as Hispanic. By the fourth generation that number falls to 50%. Only 7% describe themselves as Americans, but only 56%, in the third generation, believe they are Americans. Even the use of Spanish slowly declines. The Democrats have abandoned Americas working class base to chase what they choose to believe is a racial group in harmony with their dream of a socialist state, when what they were actually chasing is the momentum of unlimited migration.

Short Takes – Exactly What is a S__t Hole Country?
Opinion January 15, 2018
Exactly What is a “S___hole” Country?
I don’t really care that Trump asked why America was taking in millions of people from third world “S___hole countries,” and less people from European nations. He said Norway but he meant all of Europe. I don’t care because he said exactly what I think, indeed what many of us think. His choice of a descriptive adjective could probably have been better said but, really, it doesn’t matter because he’s right and we know it.
We are in fact overrun with third world creatures who don’t want to be American’s, they simply want to be in America, plant their culture, demand we recognize their language and, in the case of Muslims, accept their religion while they stand back daring anybody to challenge them because that would make us Americans, of Europeans origins, the real “racists” that Nancy Pelosi tells us we are.
Wasn’t Trump’s comment made in a closed door session with other legislatures, including Democrats? Shocked, they couldn’t wait until the meeting was over to rush out and tell the world that Trump’s was a ’racist’ and therefore it was necessary to return Democrats to power, because Trump doesn’t care for the little guys. The Democrats and their media cohorts, went berserk because of Trump’s alleged gaff, to reset our thinking to the socialist agenda and the new world order, a paradise without Trump or conservatives. And that’s what’s this is all about, destroying Trump and stem the damage he is doing to them.
I remind Democrats of the existing record collected over the years by audio and video tapes of politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, expressing their personal animus towards peoples who contribute nothing but drain the taxpayer coffers. It’s a program specifically designed to keep Democrats in power, filling the voter rolls with life victims sure to vote for the hand that feeds them.
Does anyone not remember Bill Clinton, referring to Presidential candidate Barack Obama, say: “in the past that guy would have been bringing us coffee?” Didn’t Marxist Senator Dick Durbin, call American soldiers just like Nazi’s, after the Iraq war ended?
The world is full of S__t hole countries. It can’t be denied. The attacked photograph is of Haiti. I’ve lived and worked in countries like these in my career. The one thing everyone of these places had in common was they were either war torn, in the process of rebuilding, or subjugated by Progressive regimes. These are people without hope so why should they even waste their energy trying to clean up the tons of cheap plastic and rubber deritius of failed economies.
Totalitarianism is the end product of Socialism. It comes when people finally realize that socialism is not providing for them as we see happening in Venezuela, Cuba, and Zimbabwe just to name three. Capitalism is the only driving force of economic prosperity left for mankind and the Democrats want none of it. Their best advocate is the demented Durbin and the loony Nancy Pelosi who reportedly said: “The people are too stupid to understand the global plan”
My first experience abroad was South Korea ten years after the Korean War. It was an armed military camp left in place by an armistice to protect South Korea and its defenders. Then, it perfectly fit Trumps description. Now I stand back in admiration as that country has become an asian economic powerhouse, even selling excellent motor cars here and around the world. The infrastructure I experienced, dirt roads, muddy ditches, trash heaps, broken military equipment not yet cleaned up from the earlier period, are all gone now.
Trump’s poor choice of words in a closed door session with Democrats should be a lesson for all. Do not include democrats in your parlays especially when they have no power. It was taken away from them so why should they expect to have influence on America’s future? Bipartisanship is an old meme, now championed for Republicans by John Kasich who desperately wants to become President. He’s telling us, in essence, that he’s willing to give in to the Democrats socialist agenda.
Trump’s decision to deny the DACA compromise presented to him by the bipartisan group of three Republicans and three Democrats, is a perfect example of how a weak president could easily fall in line with the Democrats socialist agenda, as Kasich surly would, by telling us it advances hope for mankind despite the rule of law saying otherwise. The end result is that America would soon be over run by the denizens of third world S__t holes countries, quickly turning America into one too. Trump is right!.

Obamacare, The Gift That Keeps On Giving!
Opinion June 27, 2017
Obamacare, The Gift That Keeps On Giving!
The current state of our medical care after the passage of Obamacare, is a total disaster. We all know why. It was a socialist wealth transfer scheme that demanded everybody buy insurance, including options not needed or wanted. It was designed so those without any form of insurance could get their healthcare provided by the government, practically free. It was an expansion of medicaid, with medicare thrown in. It was a start, they thought.
The idea was that Medicaid, the existing plans for the poor, and the “Part B” Medicare supplement for those who had insurance, while sounding good, was a Br’er Rabbit tar baby trap. Both plans had limited eligibility but the socialists, the Democrats, cunningly raised the eligibility levels bringing more and more folks under the governments health care umbrella creating yet another layer of dependency so voters would, hopefully, resist any attempts to change it. That’s exactly where we are at right now. Republicans are stuck. Oh, what to do?
Today, the political fortunes of the Democrat party are tanking and the Republicans, stuck in the socialized medicine tar baby left for them, are trying to figure out how to reduce costs while maintain Obamacare’s unaffordable eligibilities. Nothing is free! To reduce costs, the first order of business is to dramatically reduce the eligibility requirements back to pre-Obamacare levels.
In other words, repeal Obamacare, then get on with necessary changes. Just do it! The two major problems of government tax subsidized employer-owned medical insurance are portability and the pre-existing conditions issues. The insurance companies will do anything so long as they can make a profit, even if it’s from government, and politicians who, through health industry lobbyists gladly take insurance companies donations, will help them to maintain the status quo. It’s called maintaining the swamp! The Obamacare scheme served only to provide a small number of really poor people, homeless, addicts and immigrants, some form of insurance, through Medicaid, at costs few Doctors are willing to take while making insurance totally unaffordable to the majority who once did have it. Politicians cannot run anything.
The Republican are now in charge yet their solution seems to be trying only to “tweak” Obamacare simply to maintain that status quo, not reforming it, or eliminating it like they promised and the conservative base wants.
Republicans have legislated HSAs, but have not made HSA’s the centerpiece of their reform efforts. Why is that? Probably because they didn’t expect Trump to win the presidency and push them to repeal Obamacare as they promised, leaving the corrupted GOP politicians to continue their obfuscation (lie to us) in order to keep their power. They are in danger of losing it all.
The Democrats, on the other hand, seem to be fixated only on obstructing the Republicans. They continue to advocate for a single payer system, as Bernie Sanders demands, and Chuckie Schumer soon will, when no solution comes out of the Republican Senate. That means the Federal Government as Single-Payer of course, exactly what the socialists want.
Ryan and McConnell are losing ground here because they continue to push for employer-based plans, now out of date, rather than individually owned HSAs. Individuality is anathema to their power and control. It’s a sickness. That’s one reason five GOP Senators are hedging their bets on this bill. Five GOP Senators want the GOP to keep its promise to repeal Obamacare. Any vote that does not do that will doom the GOP bill and dangerously, the GOP’s majority in Congress. The GOP will lose their conservative base; the GOP will be gone forever.
Should individually owned HSAs actually become the dominant form of private health care, (fat chance of that) there is a probability tax subsidies could be phased out leading to true, affordable free-market health care while dropping costs as well. These efforts would even facilitate affordable care for the poor and the elderly and, of course, the little children. Mustn’t forget them.
The current state of our health care is disastrous and it appears that all the posturing and promises made by Republicans to repeal Obamacare, was nothing more than an exercise in blowing soap bubbles. At the moment, the Democrat Party lies prostrate before us, but don’t count on the Republican party to kill ‘em off. It ain’t happening.
What is sorely needed is to continue the restructuring of the what’s left of the GOP, by working at the grass roots level to kick out the RiNO’s who can’t make a decision to shove in the knife into the Socialist ribs starting with Obamacare.
