After the Democrats won the trifecta in 2008 capturing the House, the Senate and the White House conservatives watched in horror as the Progressive liberals shoved their collectivist agenda down our throats.
Then came the Taxed Enough Already TEA Party revolution. It was amazing. I watched with joy as tens of thousands of people got up off the couch, turned off the game, and became involved in politics many for the first time. It was heady time of mass demonstrations, organizing for change and exciting election campaigns by novices tilting at windmills and attempting to take down the perpetually re-elected.
This led to the wave election of 2010 which gave the Republicans control of the House. And what did our new majority do? They went to Washington and found their place at the trough re-electing Boehner as their leader, they re-affirmed the Patriot Act and started passing continuing resolutions and nothing changed.
They told us, “We can’t do anything with just the House we need the Senate too.”
So in 2014 in another wave election through the herculean efforts of the grassroots we gave them the Senate and nothing changed.
They told us, “We can’t do anything with just the House and the Senate we need the White House too.”
So in 2016 defying the odds, the odds makers, the media and the establishment of both parties we gave them the White House too.
Now that We the People have given them both them Congress and the White House what do we hear?
John “Reach Across the Aisle” McCain and his faithful side kick Lindsey “Democrat in all but name” Graham couldn’t wait to start criticizing the one man in Washington who seems to know how to get things done. And has the guts to do it.
Then our supposedly right wing leaders tell us that they can’t repeal and replace Obamacare without 60 votes. Funny the Democrats could pass it without 60 votes but te Republicrats need 60 to repeal it. Who says so? The Senate Parliamentarian that’s who?
Why should this unelected bureaucrat get to tell the representatives of We the People what they can and cannot do?
The Parliamentarian’s job is to be an expert on the Senate rules to know them backwards and forwards. He is also to make rulings about what is allowed and prohibited according to those rules. So far so good. The man is just doing his job.
However, according to Article One, Section Five of the Constitution it is up to the Senate itself to set the rules that the Parliamentarian must know and rule on. It only takes 51 Senators to change the rules and the Republicans have 52. So change the rules and do what you promised you would do. Repeal and replace Obamacare so America can be healthy again. Don’t give us some watered down “Repair” gobbledygook.
The conservative side of the twin headed bird of prey that is the Government Party resents that act that all of the peasants with their pitchforks, torches, and votes have put someone in the White House who isn’t one of their puppets. They are working together with their Progressive twins in the Democrat Party and the Media to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
We cannot allow this to happen! The millions who awoke out of their stupor, turned off the game and voted for real change must stay activated. Or else these political hacks are going to subvert our revolution and bring back the status quo. Hold their feet to the fire! Call your Senators and let them know you demand that they stand with President Trump. We must drain the swamp now while we have momentum and votes on our side or the quick sand of bureaucratic inertia will drag us back under the surface and the alligators, frogs and snakes will continue to rule the roost.
Change the rules. Go nuclear or use the Reid Option as it should be called. Do whatever you have to do within the constitutional framework to fulfill the promise of the new day. Leave your own agendas behind and Make America Great Again!

Anti-Trump Demonstrations Prearranged Prepaid and Predictable February 1, 2017

Just look at the hysterical reaction to President Trump’s long anticipated executive order to limit the admission of refugees from seven countries.
How do leaders in Muslim countries see it? According to United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, “The vast majority of Muslims and Muslim countries have not been affected by this ban. This is a temporary ban that will be reviewed within three months. It’s important to take these points into account.”
For one thing except in the case of Syria, where a long civil war has made vetting all but impossible, this is a temporary ban of 120 days not a permanent or even an indefinite one. A 90-day ban has been imposed on travel here from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen. Of the seven countries facing a 90-day ban, three are U.S.-designated state sponsors of terror, and the other four are war zones. This is about national security not religion.
If it was about religion why then were not most populous Muslim nations Indonesia, India, Pakistan and Egypt included?
These demonstrators, Schumer’s tears, and all the hate filled rhetoric has been waiting in the wings for the first opportunity to show its ugly head. Our retired community organizer even chimed in with his two cents worth after gracefully keeping silent for a full eleven days. His unsolicited remarks doing all they could to delegitimize President Trump and incite the protestors at the same time.
How spontaneous are all these demonstrations? Make no mistake there are many people who just show up. Given the power of social media to motivate the couch potato revolutionaries to march in circles and hold signs someone else makes and supplies, it is no wonder anyone with funding and expertise can generate a flash mob. Who organizes and pays the organizers? That is the question. Since the media cartel is the opposition we cannot expect them to reveal who the puppet masters are. Luckily others have done the leg work and unearthed the evidence.
The Free Thought Project has not only discovered but published the proof that these protest provocateurs were recruited, trained and funded by among others George Soros. In an eye opening article entitled, “Soros Caught Red-Handed Funding Anti-Trump Protests, Paying Protesters $15/hr” found on their website they not only tell us what they have found they show it to us actually showing the want ads used to hire the AstroTurf grassroots of the Left.
While I heartily repeat and sincerely endorse the sentiment expressed in the saying, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” We must not mistake the ginned up outrage of people who are pawns of the limonene liberals with the heartfelt cry of true opposition.
If this was genuine opposition I believe the people would at least have their facts straight. Saying the President’s action was a complete surprise when he said throughout his campaign he would do it is a first indication that this isn’t well thought out. Saying it is a religious ban when even those who practice the religion it is supposedly banning say it isn’t shows that it is disingenuous at best. Ignoring the fact that President Obama did essentially the same things when in 2011 he had the State Department stop processing Iraq refugee requests for six months shows that these protestors either do not know history or they are expressing the phony outrage of sore losers.
That mouthpiece of the Collectivist elites Rolling Stone provides proof that this entire reality show of protests was prearranged, prepaid, and predictable. Back on January 13th before Mr. Trump was even inaugurated, the discredited yellow-journalism sheet most recently noted for pushing fake news rape accusations against innocent people in Virginia reported that they had interviewed more than a dozen top leaders of the Trump resistance. The following is their outline of the conspirator’s strategy:
Beyond direct action and street protest, five clear opposition strategies are emerging. First, leverage Trump’s unpopularity and fragile governing coalition to defeat him outright. “He’s going to overreach dramatically, and we have to be prepared to deal him a significant setback,” says Weaver. Second, where Trump cannot be stopped, constrain his ambition by bleeding his political capital – “raise the cost of Trump radicalism,” says Frank Sharry a top immigrant-rights advocate. Third, blunt Trump’s impact with political resistance in the blue states – and even the blue cities in red states – where Trump’s agenda remains anathema. Fourth, get out of a defensive crouch: “The best defense is a good offense,” says Sierra Club Director Michael Brune. Fifth, when in doubt, sue.
So much for the spontaneous nature of these protests, as these facts are easily found with even a cursory search of the internet. Mr. Trump rode the crest of an actual grassroots movement. He found the parade and successfully marched in front of it all the way to the White House. Those of us who can remember what America used to be before the Kennedy Immigration Act transformed the melting pot into a smelting pot pulling us apart instead of welding us together want our country back. The elites who want to send our wealth overseas and import, support, and exploit enough voters for a permanent majority dedicated to collectivism will stop at nothing to derail our last best chance.
So buckle up and get ready for four years of escalating civil unrest with wall-to-wall coverage. People have complained about gridlock in Washington for years. What is coming is complete paralysis. The Left will attempt to make the country ungovernable. Their media arm, the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media will do their best to make it appear as if they are the majority valiantly resisting the imposition of authoritarian and racist measures by an illegitimate minority government. This is what we are facing. Four years of battle.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Yes, I know most of the Silent Majority are too busy working to spend much time in political activism. I also know that we face an army of people many on the government dole and many rich enough to finance a lifestyle of life in the trenches from their gated communities and country clubs. However, we cannot leave our leader out there alone to face the coming storm. We are all the support President Trump has. The Progressives have the media, academia, Hollywood, and the Democrat Party. Mr. Trump can’t even count on the Republicans. Led by John McCain and Lindsey Graham these Never-Trumpers are reaching across the aisle to sabotage our re-boot of America.
Stand up! Speak up! Put those who wish to preserve the status quo and continue to manage the decline of America on notice that we are here and we will not rest until we make America great again!
Keep the faith. Keep the peace. We shall overcome.
