Response : County residents attend Women’s March
I am terribly saddened by the view of America expressed by these women who were quoted in this article. It is not the same American in which I, and all the women in my family, live.
Or, their perception is terribly skewed. Perhaps by personal events, but I think it may be the fodder being fed by those instilling notions of sexism, racism, societalism, or any feeling which can marginalize you, our Republic, and government leaders they do not agree with.
The first misconception made was “The site of the inauguration. Trash was everywhere and a post-apocalyptic feel of the city depressed us.” This is a statement from the Nation Park Service on Sunday after both events. ” This time around, officials say, visitors were tidier than prior years. Linroth says so far, the cleanup is going well. Fortunately a lot of people, even though the trash cans were full, have stacked the trash neatly as close to the trash cans as they could get them, so that is making our job easier.”
Could you be referring to the debris left by rioters, looters and anarchists there to disrupt the right of Democracy-at-work and a peaceful transition of powers ?
You say you marched for:
1. Civil rights and social justice for all: Our laws already protect your civil rights and justice for all.
Exert these rights anytime you choose. Take personal responsibility and teach your young women (and men) to do the same.
2. Women’s rights, all of them: Exactly what right do you not have ? Or are you speaking of free “stuff” you want me to pay for ?
3. The right to choose: I assume you mean abortion . You are responsible to make and obtain your own choices. I don’t ask you to pay for my choices and I do not want to pay for yours. You want an abortion ? There are many clinics in Georgia where you can get one. You do not have the right to make me pay for your abortion !
4. The right to be yourself, equal and unmolested. Again, your responsibility. Dress anyway you want, blue hair, nose rings, be a trash collector or a doctor. Who stops you? Equal ? Our Constitution and our laws guarantee that. Unmolested. Your responsibility to stay safe or call a Policeman.
5. You want your daughters to have opportunities because they are capable and not beautiful ? Not a right. A personal responsibility. Teach them respect, integrity, good work ethics, kindness, cleanliness and they will succeed .
6. The marginalized, for you are one; Again, so sad, that you feel insignificant. And again, not the government’s responsibility but yours. Stop feeding on the fodder.
7. The right to work outside the home and to receive birth control. Are you kidding ? Women were enlisted to work outside the home in WW11 when men were serving at war. My great grandmother was a nurse years before that. You have never known a time when women didn’t have this right. Buy your own birth control from any doctor or drugstore. Personal responsibility.
8. Full equality in employment: EEO, heard of it ? Equal employment opportunity. Your responsibility.
9. Misogyny (hatred of women): More fodder from the left. Women are in the government, military, business, entertainment and sports. Please do not ruin your daughter’s life by filling her head with this nonsense !
10. Racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism: Personal problems of prejudice. Government cannot make someone not harbor these feelings. You may try to change that on a one-on-one basis if you wish. Behavior sometimes can change a prejudice. Sounds like all of you may harbor prejudices. And know that “racists” is too often used by anyone of any race to chide a person who doesn’t agree with them. More fodder.
11. Xenophobia ( unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners) ; The number one job of our Government is to keep its citizens safe. President Trump, and millions of citizens, feel that unauthorized foreigners threaten our safety. Note, he speaks of UNAUTHORIZED foreigners. More of the fodder !
12. ATROCITIES BEING REVISITED BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION: The most egregious statement made : What in the world are you referring to ? Please give us one example. I do not believe you can name a single atrocity (assuming you know the meaning of the word)
You ladies will better serve yourselves and your daughters by teaching them personal responsibility, to think for themselves, to look for the best in people and the world, to educate yourself on the history of America and our Constitution, to study the ruination by socialist governments, and lastly, to understand that the government is not your nanny and banker. As Pres. Kennedy said, “Ask not what your Country can do for you, but what you can do for your Country.”
My daughter, 3 daughters-in-law, and 4 young adult granddaughters have never experienced or seen the America these ladies describe. We have chosen our own paths, and rejoiced in our successes. We never felt repressed by any law or man. We rejoice in our God given rights and love America. I wish this joy for all you ladies.

Short Takes – What We Learned From Helsinki, 2018
Opinion July 18, 2018
What We Learned From Helsinki, 2018.
We watched a clash of two techniques at the Helsinki Summit yesterday, Trump’s The Art of the Deal and the other, The Art of Deception, as practiced by KGB’er Vladimir Putin. After the joint press conference two things emerged that need to be understood. President Trump is a deal maker. He thinks in those terms and he employe’s the idea of let’s not fight, but let’s both succeed, so long as it doesn’t harm America and is good for you. Putin is a czarists!
In the American political scene, those techniques managed to sweep away all opposition from Republican contenders challenging him for the GOP nomination. They worked to bring along American voters to drive the Democrats from the field. It worked and by doing so drove the Left crazy. It did not work against Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Trump looked weak and that’s a danger to the base. I hope he will learn from that experience. He usually does.
I do not doubt that President Trump was fully briefed on the deceptive characteristics he would face with his Mano-a-Mano with Vladimir Putin, a career KGB officer who is skilled, not in the Art of the Deal, but in the Art of Deception. Russians are not New York real estate brokers. They seek a restoration of empire and power, not buildings. Therein lies the differences.
Putin’s post “Summit” interview with Fox News reporter Chris Wallace, revealed to even the most casual observer, the purest application of the techniques of the Art of Deception by Putin. His body language, when examined in minute detail, as it will be, was so evident of deception that practitioners of Kinesic interview techniques will be able to write thesis on what Putin revealed through his body language alone, lies and deceptions. He is a practiced Russian politician and the history of Russian politician’s suggests they don’t make deals unless there’s a gun to their head.
What gun does Trump hold to Putins head? It’s what Trump knows best, how to make profits, especially when his opponent is in deep economic trouble. Trump’s gun is his continued sanctions against Russia. They’re working and it’s hurting. What does Putin have to counter Trump? It was Russia’s new natural gas deal with Germany a project soon, I fear, to come to an end. It’s also Russia’s support for Syria, which, as foreign policy, Russia cannot afford, and the massive amount of GDP Russia is pouring into it’s military, especially it’s deep water navy.
Trump was not coruscating in his post “Summit” interview and it has alarmed his base. It drove the American media wild with cheers and jeers and predictions of Trump’s early demise. But, as they’re already demented and would seized any rumor as a truth and exploit it, fewer people will believe them. Beware the Russians because they will exploit this apparent weakness.
Winners and losers are already being touted or jeered and by all accounts, at least by the Leftist media, Trump lost and Putin won. Not only did Trump lose, he was made to look the fool and so, therefore, must be guilty of treason. But, regardless, Russia is still in the throes of economic decline unable to afford their adventurism, still needs relief for its infrastructure expenses. It needs to earn some serious cash.
If we suspected that nothing noteworthy would come out of the Summit, the Left’s reaction would still hover between sneering contempt and laughter while Trump’s base will experience their first bout of mild depression. The late night comedy shows will be veritable clown shows regardless of the truths. And, this too shall pass. Trump is still our best fighter yet!
Remember, Freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (17Jul18)
Short Takes – A Return to the Draft? A Memorial Day Thought
Opinion May 30, 2018
Suggestions are swirling again about a return to the draft. For those born after the 1960’s, the draft was compulsory military service for two or more years. Throughout America’s history from the Civil War to Vietnam, different rules governed who was drafted, how one could get a deferment or a buy out, or get a political commission to work his time on a staff. That was all rife for abuse, and, it was abused.
Deferments were applied to account for medical reasons like, say flat feet and lung diseases, but a medical officer at the induction stations would make that decision. If you got your notice, you had to show up for induction and if you passed, your life changed forever.
Political deferments for celebrities, politicians and sons of politicians, like Ted Kennedy, were created while many others, stood up, begging their way into uniform. John Kennedy and his older brother did so. They weren’t famous then but their father had been US Ambassador to the UK. Hollywood stars flocked to the ranks during WW2 and did their duty as the government needed, including combat.
The draft was a numbers system, most draftees going into the army. With usable skills, one could be enrolled in a technical program for training as a mechanic, medic, or radio operator, otherwise, it was into one of the combat arms, Infantry sucking up the most. Only a few draftees ever went into the US Marine Corps or the Navy, because they filled their needed quota’s with volunteers. Many escaped the draft by school deferments and some when drafted, ran away to hide. During the Vietnam war, it was to Canada.
Many, eager to fight, volunteered to join a combat arm. That’s where the action was. For many, it wasn’t until they were covered with blood, sweat and the brains of their buddies, that they realized the awful truth about combat. It’ was then when a boy became a man and what he experienced would stay with him for the rest of his life. Every Memorial Day reveals more of these stories as the old Vet’s pass away.
Since 9/11, the military has had no problem filling its ranks with volunteers.These patriotic young people, with a few exceptions like Bowie Bergdahl, stay the course and remained loyal active members of their units. Many re-enlist to continue the fight and many comeback without limbs, emotionally traumatized or forever needing care. Some alas, never come back.
America celebrates these fighters twice a year, Memorial day and Veteran’s day when the sacrifices of our military men and women are recognized and honored. How many people do you see today stand to attention when the American flag passes in review? Veterans always do. It’s honor and sacrifice.
The problem with a return of the draft today is that most of our youths are not qualified. They have been subverted by an education system, its teaching ranks filled with the anti-war radicals from the 1960’s, like the Clintons. Our schools have failed to educate our young people about Americas traditional values and why we fight, or have lied about our history making it hateful. That’s a sad but true fact. The one great pool of true Americanism, the Boy Scouts, is being perverted into a potential pool for pedophiles.
Do we need a return to the military draft? I don’t think so! To recreate a program that expects its personal to perform, even to die on a battlefield, but turns many of them into deserters requiring efforts by the military to keep them, was never good for moral. Cowards in the ranks reveal themselves quickly and their whining can bring the moral of a whole unit down to their level of defeatism. Too, a new draft would now necessarily demand the inclusion of our daughters. Those that want to go, can do so now. Those that don’t, should stay home and tend the home fires. Today, on this Memorial Day, just be thankful Hillary Clinton’s not President. That’s worth cheering about.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! Hug a soldier today and have a happy Memorial day event. (26May18)
Short Takes – A Not Unlikely Solution to the North Korea Problem
Opinion May 14, 2018
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.!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!
Short Takes – Assumptions
Opinion December 8, 2017
Assumptions
One must ask why it is assumed that the logical candidate to replace a conservative office holder, must be a Democrat? The plethora of campaign appeals from loser Democratic PAC’s, for donations to combat those dangerous, misguided Republicans, claim in the text of their appeals, that Trumps election was an aberration and that American’s really demand that Democrats be returned to power because that awful Trump is so divisive & etc., etc.!
Well, no, they assume incorrectly! The vote for Donald Trump signaled the beginning of the end of official criminality, Obama’s terrible legacy and, expectantly, an end to the Democrats Marxist-Socialist experiment in collectivist government.
The Left ignores the reasoning that got them in their present unhappy circumstance in the first place. The voters didn’t want a third Obama term. The voters didn’t want that crooked Hillary Clinton screwing up America any more and, Americans really expect justice to be served for her crimes. Americans once assumed the FBI could be trusted implicitly. The Clinton’s ruined all that. The FBI is now wreathed in controversy, infested with Clinton partisans and politically, stand on the wrong side of Constitutionality earning the same level of trustworthiness as aluminum siding or Obamacare salesmen. Once lost, trust cannot be reinstated without pain.
The Left is mounting an all out assault on Donald Trump on their assumption that his Presidency is illegitimate. But the underlying issues that motivated voters to elect Trump are ignored. Americans don’t want to share bathrooms with perverts. Americans are sick and tired of illegal alien intruders breaking into our country, protected by Renegade Cities and murdering Americans on the streets with impunity. That includes Islam. Americans are dismayed by the stupid Liberals driving our government into unbearable debt. Americans are saddened by the less than adequate quality of graduates being turned out by Commie infested colleges and universities and Americans are exhausted from the tax burden that pays for everything except our national defense. They’re tired of unaffordable healthcare and being told they had to buy it regardless. All that is what the Democrats did to us and will do to us again in the future if Donald Trump fails. Now why would they assume we could possibly want democrats in power again? Their message is the same one they’ve used for decades and it still rings hollow!
Americans voted for Donald Trump because he promised solutions and, ‘surprise,’ he’s delivering. The Left is going berserk trying to change the results of the election that gave us Donald Trump. We’ve had nearly a year of Progressive generated crisis’s all centered around a fake Democrat created narrative about Trump and the Russians, ignoring greedy Clinton’s own collusion evidence with the Russians. Nothing was proved, yet it’s still droning on. So, why do Democrats assume that we would even tolerate them in office any more? Do you?
The Democrat Party is leaderless. The only solid front presented to us in the Congress is when the aging and demented Nancy Pelosi and the feckless Chuck Schumer grab the podium and spew out their fear mongering claims that Republican policies will lead to Armageddon, ‘women and children to be hardest hit.’ What’s to replace the ranks of geriatric Democrat leadership in the future? Anarchists, Islamics, and antifa’s, all now learning their trade on our streets today, like the Clintons did back in the 1960’s. Now is the time to stick a fork in ‘em. They’re done or should be. Sadly, Republicans won’t do it. They’re still afraid of wielding the power we gave ‘em.

Short Takes – The Changing Political Landscape
Opinion November 29, 2017
The Changing Political Landscape
Despite the outward appearance of viability, trying desperately to raise funds to reclaim the Congress in 2018, the dysfunctional Progressive, Democrat Party is actually nearing its end. We’re on to ‘em! For all of that, so the GOP may be in the twilight of its existence if they continue to legislate with fear, govern with uncertainty and waste time maneuvering themselves, as individual politicians simply to keep their jobs in disregard of what’s best for America. There are exceptions. Georgia’s Senator David Perdue for one and Rep. Jody Hice for another.
We now learn the Democrat candidate for Governor of Florida has abandoned his party affiliation, not to become a Republican, but to run as an independent. A pox on both parties. That’s not a good sign. Trust is a fungible quality and once lost is rarely, if ever, regained.
America is at a turning point. We’ve allowed the Progressive Socialist to ruin what was once America while we casually accepted the “collectivism” type of government that never works. The solution comes when we realize our plight and work to understand the gift that is our Constitution, protect it and make sure that any new politicians who want to face the challenge, do so within the rule of law, not personal enrichment. How did Senator Mitch McConnell manage to accumulate $55 million in personal wealth if he wasn’t a swamp dweller? I’m just asking?
Political restoration Is a slow process requiring time, joint efforts and funds but, it must be done or Reagan’s “Shining City on the Hill,” dream, the beacon for hopeless people everywhere, will flicker out and the world will be plunged into darkness for a thousand years and the word “Freedom” will only be understood as willful compliance with the state.
The forces of the Left are arraying themselves against us. Conservative candidates are under attack with slanders, false accusations and innuendos of perversion, sexual assaults and pedophilia. Why? Because, when challenged, the Left have no arguments that can prevail against, truth, justice and the Constitution. Therefore, they must try to kill the messenger.
Judge Roy Moore, Republican candidate for Alabama Senator, represents a clear and present danger to the existing, corrupt forces of the DC political elites or, more simply, the swamp. Poll takers, including Fox News, project that Democrat Jones, ahead of Moore on percentage points to become the next Senator from Alabama, will probably prevail. Don’t bet on it. The pollsters predicted with certainty that Hillary Clinton would be the next president by a landslide. Hummn?
People lie to pollsters including on-line polls directed to supposedly party loyalists. Voters are beginning to recognize the skewed types of questions designed to produce a desired outcome so, they lie! The President uses this process in reverse. He “tweets,” early in the mornings, and sets the his day’s agenda, while the Democrats and the media go berserk trying to figure out just what he meant but, coming from Trump it must have been bad! Elizabeth Warren rose to his tweet bait today with his “Pocahontas” remark, once again revealing herself as a fool. Trump therefore, controls the agenda while we are treated to the medias dysfunction.
In our current dilemma of tax reform, the Democrats cannot retreat from their constant claim that America is Capitalist and greedy but, they can’t explain why half of the population is subsidized and the subsidized half are victims. Victims of what, Capitalism? Yet Republicans, uncertain of the way the wind blows, dither about in confusion and inaction and get nothing accomplished. Indecision is as deadly as incompetence.

Short Takes – The Roy Moore Affair
Opinion November 17, 2017
I take no side on Roy Moore except to recognize an organized plot to disenfranchise Alabama voters by the Elite DC Swamp dwellers. Whatever happens to Roy Moore is the concern of the voters of Alabama alone, not Mitch McConnell. If he wins he must be seated. Senate rules or not, it is not the ”Elite” establishments role to kill the Senatorial choice of the voters of Alabama simply because Roy Moore is an ultra conservative and not one of them.
The array of females accusing Moore of predatory sexual offenses in years gone by, standing alongside ultra feminist lawyer Gloria Alred, is proof enough that the whole tawdry thing is another orchestrated coup attempt against Trumps administration in favor of maintaining the status quo of the DC swamp dwellers. It’s a full court press against our Constitution too.
Sean Hannity, fearing that his earlier interview of Roy Moore tended to exculpate the Judge, in light of the phony school yearbook business shows him in a bad light, has demanded that Judge Moore clarify his position, immediately, in view of the damming new information of the old signature in the yearbook trick. Just who the hell is Hannity to demand such a thing?
I still have my high school senior yearbook from 1957. It is filled with pro forma signatures of fellow students, of both sexes, wishing me good luck in the future and all that stuff. And I did the same. Looking at some of these names today, I don’t remember many of the people who signed my book except those with whom I grew up with from elementary, through Junior High to High school. For the others, from other school systems, I cannot even now, know what our relationship was or why they were interested in my future. But, their names are there.
Roy Moore matriculated through Alabama politics, as a Christian and a Democrat all the way to Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court without ever being accused of anything but being a Christian. He stayed there until the evil forces of Marxism contested his decision to maintain the “Opiate of the Working Class”, a visual stone monument of the Ten Commandments, on State property. The anti-Christ’s went berserk, forcing an unelected board of Christian haters to remove the judge from his chair. Could they actually do that without a criminal charge?
The people of Alabama elected Moore to the Alabama Supreme Court, not an unelected board of weaklings bowing to the grinding forces that demand the separation of Church and State, to remove him. Now, Roy Moore, as the Republican candidate for Alabama’s junior Senator, a true believer in the Constitution as it was intended to be applied, not as the Left want’s us to believe it should be applied, is the target of a scurrilous attack against his character and his Christianity.
As a career criminal investigator, I still haven’t heard that any of those women, not one who have stepped forward to demean judge Moore, have been deposed under oath. To the Left, it makes no difference though because the alleged crimes, long past their shelf life, still sells so the charges just hang out there as truths. I don’t believe it for one minute.
It is unfortunate for Judge Moore at the moment, that Left wing Democrat men, DC and Hollywood types alike, are being sucked into the vortex of sexual crimes against women, with evidence, just at the time the establishment politicians are trying to defend their swamp from Conservatives like Roy Moore. What a splendid opportunity for the left to add the Judge in there, which is exactly what they are doing. Lumping Moore into the class of perverts like the Democrats are riddled with, is disgusting. Think of Bill Clinton, Al Franken and Robert Menendez. It’s the dirty politics we’ve been expecting and being ratcheted up to full volume.

A View From Behind – Look Beyond The Dust
Opinion November 16, 2017
Believe me, it’s better than “leading from behind.” Oh, sure, if you are the leader, the view’s the same despite the dust, but when you know what you’re looking for, the perspective changes and the dangers reveal themselves including all the obstacles, the road ruts, the promises broken and the many forks in the road ahead. It’s a dangerous path America is following and the dangers are perceptible if one knows where to look. Look beyond the dust.
On the surface, it is assumed that America has two political parties when in fact, it has five. The once premier American party, the Democrats, long ere since rotted from the inside, changed its stripes from Constitutional Americanism to a good facsimile of the Communist Party USA, intent on collectivizing America by creating two classes, the leadership class composed of the establishments elites (them) who think they know better how to make people happy, and the followers (us) who it is believed, know nothing and need to be led. It’s dusty out there.
The other party is the Republican party, a feckless bunch who desperately want to be in the top class, beloved and respected but clueless to new facts and changing times. They live in fear of being invalidated, of being dismissed as inconsequential which is exactly what is happening now. The tawdry assault against Judge Roy Moore of Alabama is evidence enough of that.
It must be a terrible thing to live in fear not knowing when some muslim will decide to use his automobile to mow you down with other pedestrians, or Christian worshippers fearful of a black clad antifascist, entering their sanctuary and gunning down men, women and children in their pews, or Republican Congressmen and Senators fearful of losing their chairmanships or worse, their jobs because they are afraid to do what is right and Constitutional and what is expected of an American politician instead of what the money lenders want. It’s a choking cloud of dust.
There are however, three other Party’s lurking in the wings, two intent on destroying America regardless of what the other parties do. First, the Marxists far left wing of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren that represents the modern version of the old Soviet Bolshevism variety, still playing by the old rules. On the Right, the Constitutional wing of the Republican party, (Tea Party) who will, very shortly I think, become the party of Trump trying to rescue America.
Finally, the Fifth Columnists, “Organizing For America,” the Party of Obama, a collection of violent totalitarian fascists who go where they are led, destroy as they are told, and riot as it pleases them. This group is especially hateful and dishonest. They claim to be anti-fascists when they are the very epitome of fascism. Their propaganda is inflammatory, offensive and deadly. Their mission is to incite violence, always trolling for targets for their hateful wrath, and their goal is to seize America, destroy Trump and protect Obama’s legacy, by force if necessary.
These reprehensible people include the Antifa and Black Lives Matter, et. al., who perform like Germany’s SA, SD, & SS all rolled up into one. Their “Fellow Travelers” include the main stream media who, in their delusional hysteria over Trumps Presidency, have thrown all pretense of objectivity aside and go all in with their lies, and made up stories against all Conservatives they see fit to destroy, while ignoring the offenses of their own (Clinton’s, Menendez, etc.).
We’re organizing into group people states, unreconcilable to any point of view but their own. The Constitution, the guide laid down for us to follow, is out of date they say, because it interferes with the radicals and their desire to destroy the world’s only bastion of freedom, the USA. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (15Nov17)
The Clinton Saga Continues
Opinion October 31, 2017
The Clinton Saga Continues
The Clinton’s years of association with big cash donors aside, many now being outed as sexual predators, pedophiles and rapists, the Clinton’s actual collusion with the Russians, as compared to what they claim Trump did, is becoming a point of fact, not a phony $6 million dossier filled with rumors, lies and innuendos.
Uranium ore now becomes center to our Clinton story with implications that have revealed Obama’s government to be despotic and its citizens targets. The implications extend far beyond the money grubbing underway by greedy politicians from special interests, it is the unbridled and unconstitutional power of government to seize private property and kill to do it.
I am referring to the standoff last year between the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Oregon State Police and local law enforcement, pitted against the Hammond family ranch at Burns, Oregon that involved other concerned citizens as protesters occupying the Malheur Game Refuge. The government’s siege of the park gave the story legitimacy while the back story was ignored. It’s a dark story indeed.
Recall that the BLM lost public’s approval when they were forced to stand down in their attempt to seize the property of the Bundy Ranch in Nevada on piddling allegations that Bundy’s cattle were illegally grazing on open range, government (BLM) land. Oh, woe! It was reported then that Senate majority leader, Harry Reid (D-Nv) wanted the land to resell to a solar power company, supposedly to advance Obama’s green energy scheme and to help defray the cost of his retirement. Maybe!
Apart from the fact that some armed Bundy Ranch supporters went to Burns, Ore. to assist the Hammond’s in what appears to be another trumped-up case to allow the BLM to seize the their ranch, what is the connection? It’s uranium, and is a scandal that could take down the Clintons once and for all.
The Hill broke the story as far back as 2009. Clinton, as Secretary of State, approved the sale of 20% of American uranium to Russia through a Canadian businessman, a big donor to the Clinton Foundation. He was representing a Russian front Canadian mining business called Uranium one. The FBI was investigating the proposed deal and successfully inserted an undercover agent who has subsequently been gagged from even talking to Congress about it.
The Obama administration and the Clintons (Bill Clinton received a half million dollars for delivering a speech in Moscow) defended their actions insisting there was no evidence that any Russians or donors engaged in wrongdoing and there was no national security reason for any member of congress to oppose the Uranium One deal. The deal was clear and above board said Clinton’s State Department. But was it?
The Hill reported that documents from the FBI, the Department of Energy and a Federal Court shows the FBI in fact had gathered substantial evidence that Russian businessman Vadim Mikerin was engaged in wrongdoing starting in 2009, well before the committee’s decision and, was, in fact, overseeing Putin’s nuclear expansion inside the United States.
Where is this uranium? It’s in Burns, Oregon. To quote the source: “The central part of the Malheur Refuge Protest was the Hammond family, and their ranch outside of Burns, Oregon. Dwight and Steven Hammond were ordered to return to prison by the Federal government over a small range backfire. They had previously served out the sentence reluctantly imposed on them by Judge Hogan.” “During the court preceding the Hammond’s were forced to grant the BLM first right of refusal. If the Hammond’s ever sold their ranch they would have to sell it to the BLM.” “It was during this turbulent time that the political implications of Uranium One were shouted out over the internet.“ (not the main stream media, note.)
Source: INTELLIHUB: “Clinton Foundation took massive payoffs, promised Hammond Ranch and other publicly owned lands to Russians along with one-fifth of our uranium ore.” ”The Hammond’s ranch and other ranch lands surrounding the refuge sit atop a vast swath of precious metals, minerals, and uranium that’s heavily desired by not only the federal government but foreign entities as well.”
“Oregon Energy, L.L.C. (formally Uranium One) is interested in developing a 17-Claim parcel of land known as the Aurora Project through an open pit mining method. Besides the mine, there would be a processing mill. The claim area occupies about 450 acres and is also referred to as the “New U” uranium claims.”
Source: News-Target also reported: “Massive Cover-up. BLM leases Hammond ranch land to Russia through donors to the Clinton Foundation for its uranium. Evidence has surfaced that the BLM has been taking land with plans to lease it to Clinton Foundation donors.”
“Russia gradually gained control of Uranium One, a major Russian mining company, in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State. Canadian records reveal that the company’s chairman used his own family foundation to make four donations to the Clinton Foundation during that time, resulting in a sum contribution of $2.35 million. Secretary Clinton approved the deal for Russia soon after her family’s slush fund received the donations. Now, Vladimir Putin controls 20 percent of all uranium production capacity in the U.S.”
The previous data was as indicated, copied from open sources. The Burns, Oregon refuge siege incident, that included the murder of one protester at a police checkpoint, was another blatant example of a corrupt (Marxist leaning) government running rough-shod over its citizens, for the financial benefit of one of its “elites” (the Clintons).
Americans are wising up and are getting sick and tired of it. The Federal government, with a One World Government attitude in the hands of corrupt politicians lining their pockets with taxpayer dollars, must come to an end. Throw in the Clinton’s cozy connections with Hollywood’s “A- List” of pedophilia admirers and the corruption and criminality of our political leaders in the Obama administration becomes clearer.
It’s time for term limits to be seriously considered as a corrective to career politicians whose entire reason to exist is to gain personal wealth off the unsuspecting American taxpayer, American security and sovereignty be damned. Trump is their main danger.

Time to Fish or Cut Bait
Opinion October 13, 2017
“United we stand, divided we fall.” Where have we heard that before and how many times? Our nation is not united as the media keeps reminding us. But, it’s true! The division began in ernest with LBJ’s Great Society, a socialist scheme supposedly to level the playing field for all Americans to enjoy America’s bounty, skills and ability be damned. Both of America’s political parties couldn’t wait to implement LBJ’s wonderful plan, not because it was Constitutional, but because politicians all wanted to look good to the vast pool of potential poor voters.
The two parties appeared to want to out do each other but, these many years later, we know that the Progressive Left had already suborned the Democrat party and, under the guise of the party of FDR, presumed to undo Americas exceptionalism by introducing multiculturalism, and diversity, change its educational goals to re-cast American history and denigrate its Christian religion. First, they destroyed the black family by their welfare schemes to ensure the enslavement of black Americans to the Democrat party, for ever.
Enter another rub, Affirmative Action, a patently unconstitutionally, wicked scheme that at a stroke, tipped the level playing field to favor America’s non-producers, to the detriment of America’s productive work force. That it was aimed to assist our black population was the noble goal. But, for blacks, It was a “fish or cut bait” scheme leaving the streets littered with failed, unemployable black males without family obligations, income or hope.
Over fifty years later, a new President is returning the rule of law that will make the Constitution work the way it was intended. When our Americans of African descent finally realize this, they will succeed not only as a culture but as successful Americans. Many already have. The fifty plus years of liberalism’s dysfunction is coming to an end, as it surely must.
To be effective, political party’s must also stand united. Their first duty is to the Constitution. But, the Socialist-Democrat party is in disarray. Do they go all in for Marxism or move to the center to challenge Republicans? The Republicans are in disarray because having sipped the wine of political privilege they became intoxicated with their individual power. Now that they have it, they don’t know how to handle it. They are not united because they have lost the trust of their conservative voter base. It’s the Humpty-Dumpty fable in real time.
The bewildered GOP leadership, apparently not yet having fully recovered from the catatonic shock that Trumps election gave them, still believe that because they now hold the reins of government and party discipline in their soft little hands, all Republicans should stand united in supporting their program, you know, the one they talked about for seven years, to repeal and replace Obamacare. Suddenly, they were caught in a lie. They don’t want to replace Obamacare because those same poor voters won’t vote for them, they think.
The GOP has yet to accept that President Trump is now in charge. To the causal observer, the vast sums of taxpayer money paid to insurance companies as cost sharing subsidies by Obama’s Executive Order, were funds not authorized by the Congress as the Constitution demands and are therefore, null and void effective immediately. Trump did it around the GOP Congress and neither the Congress nor Liberal Judges can arrest the stoppage.
If GOP politicians expects to enjoy the support of their voter base, they had better get behind President Trump and stop this silly #Never-Trump nonsense. For individual politicians, its definitely a “fish or cut bait” proposition. America can’t afford any more nonsense.
Can Gun Violence Be Controlled?

Can Gun Violence be Controlled?
This business about free Americans owning guns, it seems, is not going away. The overwrought, dysfunctional left simply won’t let it go using any opportunity to try to seize our guns. “Never let a crisis go to waste” has long been their motto. The Las Vegas massacre is the current issue they hang their hats on to pursue their primary objective, the total disarming of America, the 2nd Amendment be damned. “People are dying by guns; only total confiscation can stop the carnage; nullify the 2nd Amendment, etc. & etc….”
The Las Vegas shooting is still on the minds of most Americans and will be for awhile because it involved guns in the hands of a white male. As no connection to any conservative group has been reported by the media, it therefore follows that the Mandalay shooter must have been a registered Democrat. If he wasn’t, the Alt-media would have never let us forget it.
To the “Left” guns, legally in the hands of free, independent Americans, is the worst possible thing that they can imagine. But, crime statistics do not support the Left’s claims of a vast count of criminal deaths by guns. No matter, because statistics that do not support their positions are irrelevant, lies made up by the NRA. One third of all gun deaths are suicides. Most of the rest are murders in Chicago, Baltimore, LA, and other urban centers of cultural enlightenment.
The rush to legislate guns by ignorant politicians, exclusively Democrats, constitutes their perennial assault on our Constitution, especially the 2nd amendment. The 2nd Amendment gives American citizens the right to possess firearms. The Left contends that our Founders simply could not foresee advancements in modern technology. They claimed that arguments today about why the Founders considered gun possession as a right enshrined in the Bill of Rights, don’t apply by today’s standards. Nonsense! They apply because of today’s standards.
In Colonial America, citizens had to have guns to defend themselves as well as provide meat for the table. The founders knew government couldn’t defend citizens from robbers, thieves and hostile Indians. Governments charge was, and still is, to defend America from foreign attack. Otherwise, you’re basically on your own. So, what’s changed?
What they do not consider is that while firearms existed in the 1700’s and on, so did vehicle’s, hammers, hatchets and axes. It was the black powder gun and the horse drawn wagon that experienced a rapid change by technology but, it was only firearms that were protected by the Constitution as an “inalienable right.” Vehicles hatchets, and hammers were not. Why?
How many murders are occurring today using vehicles? Enough to give us pause when we go out, yet there is no outrage from the Left. More people are murdered yearly with hammers than are killed by guns. Should the left demand that government totally confiscate hammers?
What’s is not seen in our press are the almost daily reports of murderous atrocities committed by Islamic Jihadists against host country citizens throughout Europe, and even here in America and Canada, using knives, cars and home made bombs.
Are Americans becoming immune to gun violence? Can we trust Government to protect us when we need them, like ‘right now’ for instance? We know the answer to that. Of course not. So, keep your guns clean, keep ‘em oiled and keep ‘em legal. The “Left”, they are out to get us!

Short Takes – Transportation Woes

Transportation Woes
Leave it to the media to anathematize Trump and Conservatism using any issues that flies by.
The media has become so unscrewed by their hatred of President Trump that, like the NFL, they don’t really see or understand what they are continuing to do to themselves, further tarnish their credibility and diminish their brand name. Now it’s private airplane flights by Tom Price, H&HS Secretary, doing his job that they are attacking. I don’t care.
That Sec. Price used, or had to use, a private conveyance to do his job is a symptom of a problem, not the problem. He asked for and received permission to book his flights so I don’t understand the media’s outrage. The media didn’t express outrage when our Royal Princess, Nancy Pelosi demanded and got, befitting her elitist station, a large Air Force plane to convey her back and forth non-stop to San Francisco every week when she was House Speaker. The media didn’t go berserk when Attorney General Loretta Lynch secretly booked a private plane for her flight to Arizona where incidentally, she accidentally met former president Bill Clinton, also there in his private airplane, to discuss golf and grandchildren. By the way, she doesn’t play golf and has no grandchildren.
The dysfunctional but Progressively obedient media fended off complaints when Obama flew to Hawaii aboard his presidential yacht, a huge fuel consuming 747 costing millions, several times a year not to mention all the other pleasure and campaign flights he took in it. The eight year bill for his highness’s pleasure must have been stupendous but nobody in the media was outraged. Clearly, to do so would have been racist. For Tom Price, it’s “white privilege.”
We haven’t heard one word about the private travel expenses of Obama’s many Czar’s, Department Secretaries, administrators and etc. during the eight years of gracious living they all enjoyed but, one Trump official doing his job, using the most expedient method to do so, and the Leftist media goes completely berserk.
For the media their problem remains. They can sling all the offal their dirty little hands can hold against the wall but nothing sticks because nobody believes ‘em anymore. In fact, nobody really cares because American’s voted in Donald Trump as President and no attack against him, coming from the media’s organs of Leftist propaganda, even from the rear against his appointees, is going to change that.
Every department in the Federal Govt. has a Transportation office. It’s sole reason to exist is to find the least expensive mode of transportation for government officials needing do their job in the most expeditious manner possible. Mostly, almost exclusively in fact, US Commercial Carriers are used for that purpose. Abroad, foreign carriers are authorized as needed.
In order to get that authorization for government travel, temporary duty (TDY) orders have to be cut authorizing the expense, including overnight accommodations. If the overnight is spent on a military installation, including Aircraft Carriers at sea, it still costs money and must be budgeted for. Nothing is free and nobody gets a free ride. It only has to be justified.
Travel expenses are all budgeted a year or more in advance and usually causes no problems. Upon completion of the travel, the official traveler submits a detailed expense voucher, with receipts as necessary, detailing the travel and the expense involved. In the case of Tom Price, some aide is responsible for this task. I used the term TDY, and that’s military jargon so I don’t know exactly how H&HS does it, but, there are only so many dollars budgeted per year for travel and it must be accounted for. The Mean Stream Media doesn’t report those little details. I have no clue how the Obama administration and Hillary did it, but I suspect like everything else they touch, some skullduggery was involved. It’s just a job. The media should get over it.

Predictable Outrage – Stop SCOTUS
First, the good news: The danger of a youthful soccer team perishing in a monsoon filled cave deep in the jungles of Thailand after nearly two weeks, is now ended. All twelve boys and their leader have been rescued by the splendid efforts of Thai Navy divers and other volunteers. Sad that one diver died in the effort. To Democrats, it had to have been Trumps doing all along to deflect news of his programs successes to make America great again.
At the same time, a conservative candidate for the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the Washington DC Circuit, was introduced as the President’s choice to fill the seat of the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Predictably, the street zombies on the left went into action, selecting the correct name signs from the prepared pile of signs already laid by to protest whoever of the four candidates Trump picked, was available to select from. Predictable!
In front of the Supreme Court, after the announcement, the outraged Left, encouraged by the elderly Bernie Sanders, issued a call for resistance to Trump’s government. The “Left” has gone completely “nuts.” It does beg the question though, are the Progressive cohorts of the Left now willing to resort to violence to express their outrage? The growing body of evidence suggests that “yes” they will!. Fox New’s, covering the expected protest event in front of the Supreme Court, faced that very possibility. Predictable!
Senate minority leader, Chuckie Schumer, as expected, announced he would oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s selection, on principle. But, we knew that because he said he would oppose any of Trumps picks. The new slogan for the Progressive Democrats must be: “Remember Garland,” Obama’s final choice for the Supreme Court who was totally ignored by the Republican Senate under Mitch McConnell’s leadership. Then came Gorsuch! Predictable!
President Trump praised his selection for his “impeccable credentials, unsurpassed qualifications, and a proven commitment to equal justice under the law.” Trump also urged Sen. majority leader, Mitch McConnell, to act swiftly to confirm Kavanaugh. It’s important to keep pressure on the Democrats, first to make them reveal their animus to Trumps choice and to reduce campaigning time for Democrats in their districts, at least for those seeking re-election.
Can we next expect the Democrats to wheel out some skanky old broad who claims she had been the unwarranted victim of Kavanaugh’s sexual advances when they were in grammer school? Wait for it. It’s coming as surely as elm blight comes in January.
The Left will focus “on the children” and will undoubtedly demand to know how the new Justice would rule of the government snatching children away from their parents at the southern border. They will say we have a border crisis. Let’s Stop for a moment. I want to ask why do we have a crisis on our southern border? Let’s make it a crisis on Mexico’s northern border instead.
The Democrats will demand to know Kavanaugh’s position on abortion, Roe vs Wade hovering in the background. He’s Catholic not that that matters anymore, but abortion, by any other words is “infanticide.” To Democrats, mass scale killings is okay but separating children at the borders from their criminal parents is not. The Democrats face a conundrum. If they love little children and are prostrate learning about separating them, then why is it okay to kill children in the womb? If they don’t mind killing the unborn, why do they care about wayward foreign children at our border? Just asking? Democrat outrage is predictable. They are communists!Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (10Jul18)
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.
