From the “You can’t make this stuff up” Department:
It is beyond me how the Communists, I’m sorry I mean the Socialists, oh excuse me I mean the Democrats are able to peddle the bilge they’re spewing this election cycle. But I’m sure that a significant segment of the voting public will swear this bilge is rose water come Election Day. Now if these Soros-Clinton-Pelosi-Waters supporters were knuckle-dragging drooling Neanderthal types I could understand it. However, I personally know many very intelligent people who prove they’ve had one too many drinks of Kool-Ade by casting their precious votes for the Party of Obama and the new normal.
And now for some anecdotal proof:
I live in a State that is enjoying record high employment, has received the biggest tax cuts in history, has a balanced budget, millions in a rainy day fund and is ranked near number one in education and healthcare. In response to this the Pelosi Party has a gubernatorial candidate who says people are starving to death in the streets, rotting away on gurneys in the halls of broken down hospitals, and the pining away for the good old days of presidents who bow to kings and a perpetual Great Recession.
Nationally the party of globalism, open borders, and mobs as always promises one thing and plans on delivering another. They promise to fight for the little guy, protect Social Security, provide health care for all, and rainbows every day of the week. If given control of the House and/or the Senate they will deliver years of Kavanaugh style show trials and though their leader tells them not to talk about it they will impeach President Trump in 2019.
Currently their propaganda arm in the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media foist what they hope is a self-fulfilling prophecy of a huge blue wave on the low information voters. To facilitate this fever dream and create a spectacle they hope will overwhelm our border agents, detention camps and legal system they’re financing and coordinating an army of gang-age males hiding behind the skirts of women and children. Marching north after violently storming across Mexico’s southern border carrying the flags of Guatemala and Honduras the publicity flacks of the ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBCPBSNPR Cartel tell us over and over these are peaceful hardworking people are peaceful asylum seekers and not the gate crashing pawns we can see tearing down fences and forcing their way into Mexico.
Promising to raise taxes, increase regulations, expand welfare, shut down the oil and coal industries, impeach Kavanaugh and President Trump the campaign slogan for the America Last fellow-travelers should be “Let’s Make America Miserable Again!” All I can say is if you buy this bilge I’ve got a bridge you can buy right here.

This is the art of the deal? Schumer and Pelosi get everything they want and Trump supporters get nothing?
Yes, the military needs what it needs but the President should have vetoed this monstrosity, shut down the government, forced the RINOs to come back from their vacation and send up individual appropriations.
This is a debacle. Why should anyone vote for any Republican when the Democrats still rule the roost?
What’s next amnesty for the so-called dreamers? That will turn into amnesty for millions with more on the way. Anyone who is arrested will say they were brought here as a child. All they will have to do is say that and the judicial legislators will give them a pass.
So when I say Trump got played I am beginning to think so did we.
Build the wall! End the wars! Make America great again!
Signing this pork barrel budget buster wasn’t the way to do it.
Very very disappointed….8—(

Trump Republicans Where Are You? February 6, 2017

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!

Trump Hits it Out of the Park January 30, 2017

In a political world trained to the wretched rhythm of the perpetually re-elected and their focus-grouped nuances never meant to clarify as much as cover their rear-guard the penetrating pronouncements of President Trump are like a breath of fresh air in a partially sealed coffin.
On the one hand we have a trimmer like Big Bill Clinton of New York’s Sixth Crime Family. When confronted about his perjury he had the chutzpah to look directly into the camera and say, “It depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” The most definitive, declarative thing he ever said to us was, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
This is emblematic of what we have been conditioned to expect, the lowest common denominator of plausible deniability wrapped up in the quivering forthrightness of a lie labeled as the truth.
On the other hand we have The Donald. Standing in the belly of the beast, surrounded by the political hacks who have been hacking us up he had the courage to say, “For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.” Looking into the camera he did not hedge and equivocate like the ex-lawyer Bill Clinton. He did not try to lead us off on a fool’s errand to build democracy around the world in countries who don’t want it like George the Second. He did not wax on for hours using the word I more than anything else like the self-absorbed narcissist BHO.
No, Mr. Trump not only called a spade a spade he tossed the whole deck in the air for a political version of fifty-two pick-up when he continued, “Washington flourished — but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered — but the jobs left, and the factories closed.”
After years of hearing nothing but the cha-ching of politicians making fortunes as public servants. After decades of wondering what happened to the Reagan Revolution as Progressives from both sides of the twin headed bird of prey that makes up the Government Party finally we heard from the Country Party when our President Trump said, “The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.”
And now after the first week of an actual working president he also nailed the media’s hide to the wall. Not only were working people who believe in America First cheering we were giving him a standing O when he said, “I think the media is the opposition party in many ways.” How long have we thought that? They are no longer a watch dog. They became the Democrat’s attack dog long ago. For a perfect example of their biased presentation of the gatekeepers compare the recent so-called “Woman’s March” and the March for Life.
The Woman’s March got wall-to-wall coverage the week before it was scheduled no doubt ginning up attendance. This led to wall-to-wall coverage by an army of reporters and cameras while it was going on followed by a week of glowing reviews and video highlights. Now reflect on the March for Life. This massive event has filled the streets of Washington every year since the abomination of Roe v. Wade in a vacuum. There is the partisan bias of the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media in stark relief.
The Democrat Party is in disarray. Hillary may be contemplating a talk show to make hers the face of the opposition to America First. The Ego from Chicago may be planning on moving into his Washington mansion and popping out at propitious times to voice the collectivist reaction to America First. And we always have Pocahontas in the wings ready to do a war dance, a rain dance, or just shout old soviet slogans against America First. And of course the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party or as they are also known, the media will be right there to supply the sights and sounds and film at six against America First.
Luckily we have someone who is ready to stand up and voice the heart-felt cry of so many who believe in America First. Our President Trump seized the moment and captured the spirit of the age when surrounded by the thieves who came in the night to steal the American dream he said:
That all changes — starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.
It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now.
At that moment and in many others since he has captured lightening in a bottle, said exactly what we have been waiting to hear, and hit it right out of the park.
Can I get an Amen?

Trump Makes America Great Again – Why Wait January 18, 2017

I know the snowflakes and their geriatric leaders are freaking out because they have lost the keys to the gravy train. However, out here where Americans work every day to pay the bills our President, The Donald isn’t waiting to take the oath to fulfill his oath to us.
Just like the interminable hostage crisis that Jimmy Malaise Carter couldn’t solve solved itself when the Gipper took the oath of office. As Ronaldus Magnus placed his hand on the bible and raised his hand the Ayatollahs deiced, “We don’t want to mess with him,” and sent them home. So too as BHO’s death grip on the throat of American enterprise weakens people begin to see the light at the end of the collectivist tunnel. Just the promise of fewer regulations, tax relief, and the Commissars returning to their faculty lounges is enough to inspire entrepreneurs to hope again. It is enough to ignite America’s Can-do class to once again plan and project growth instead of stagnation.
Just look at what has already been announced and imagine what will happen once the assault on American enterprise has finally ended.
As reported by Warner Todd Huston in Breitbart:
Ford: 700 Jobs to Start
As January began, Ford Motor Company went public to tell Donald Trump that they are ready to deal with the new administration and also noted that at least 700 new jobs were on the table with more to come as the year rolls onward.
SAP SE: 400 Jobs
German business-software maker SAP SE is adding nearly 400 jobs to its Pittsburgh and suburban Philadelphia facilities, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Amazon.com: 100,000 Jobs
Amazon is eyeing a huge expansion starting this year and recently announced it intended to add up to 100,000 workers to its retail staff in new facilities across the nation.
Many of these jobs will be in brand new fulfillment centers the online giant plans to begin building this year.
Lockheed Martin: 1,800 Jobs
Aeronautics leader Lockheed Martin told President-elect Trump that it intends to hire over 1,800 new workers in the coming months.
Indeed, Lockheed feels that its expansion will bring even more jobs indirectly. CEO Marillyn Hewson said of the new jobs, “when you think about the supply chain across 45 states in the U.S., it’s going to be thousands and thousands of jobs.”
GM: 1,500 Jobs and $1 Billion Investment
General Motors said this month that it is looking to re-invest in factories in the U.S.A. and will add some 1,500 or more jobs to its roster of workers. The plans will include a one-billion-dollar plan to build new manufacturing lines in the U.S.
Bayer AG: $8 Billion Investment
The Trump transition team is touting a commitment by German-based Bayer AG pharmaceutical company to invest an additional $8 billion in the U.S.A. in research and development in cooperation with Monsanto AG.
The announcement came on the heels of a “very productive meeting” between the Trump team and Bayer CEO Werner Baumann and Monsanto chief Hugh Grant.
Walmart: 10,000 Retail Jobs, 24,000 Construction Jobs
Retail giant Walmart is eyeing an expansion plan to build new stores that will eventually amount to some 10,000 new jobs in outlets across the country. But it will also mean up to 24,000 jobs for construction workers needed to build the new stores.
Walmart intends to build at least 59 new stores in fiscal year 2017, according to a statement by the company.
LKQ: 150 Jobs and New HQ in Tennessee
Publicly traded automotive company LKQ Corp is establishing a new headquarters in the Nashville, Tennessee, area. It is a sign that the company feels that the automotive industry in the U.S. is on track to grow in the age of Trump.
Add to that other announced industry expansions: Carrier 1,100; US Steel 10,000; IBM 25,000; Soft Bank 50,000; Dow Chemical 1,000; Tesla 1900; Sprint 5,000; One Web 3,000; Black & Decker 100; Chrysler 2,000; Toyota 5,000; and Apple 2,000 and it becomes apparent how much change some real hope can inspire.
During the tenure of our Regulator-in-Chief it is estimated that 107,000 jobs were created or saved per year. Since the unexpected victory of Himself and even before the official beginning of the Trump Revolution by my estimation he has added 220,650. Not bad for a prequel. Just imagine the growth we will see in the coming years.
Remember the Democrat controlled Creature from Jekyll Island will do its best to slow or sink the economy. The rent-mob Progressive grass-roots simulation will do its best to agitate. The nomenclature in Congress and the bureaucracy will do its best to malign, de-legitimize and possibly impeach The Donald. However, I believe that they will not be able to get the lightening back in the bottle. I believe that unlike the Reagan Revolution this re-birth of the American Spirit will not be betrayed and sold out by a thousand points of light and led into decades of darkness.
Keep the faith. Keep the peace. We shall overcome.

Donald Dumps Bubba Dashes Dowager’s Dreams October 10, 2016

The Dowager dreamed of doing great things
Importing voters
And taxing your bling
Her dupes in the media played right along
Planning on 90 minutes singing the same song
When the first question asked
About trash talk and jibes
Was answered with reminders
Of Bubba’s philandering crimes
The sycophants changed tracks
Interrupting Donald and proving their hacks
One against three
The battle exposed
He wins on the issues
Hillary Billary Sleazy Media deposed.

Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic October 22, 2015

Last week I offered five simple solutions that could turn this ship around.
First, jettison the Empire to save the Republic
Second, declare our energy independence.
Third, end the de facto amnesty.
Fourth, end the centrally planned welfare state.
Fifth, grow the economy instead of the bureaucracy to bring back prosperity, opportunity, and hope.
Does anyone realistically think the two headed leviathan in Washington will implement any of them? No matter who is elected the bureaucracy will maintain full speed ahead into the iceberg of collapse. In other words these fixes may be easy to propose however they are impossible to implement given the current toxic climate in Chicago on the Potomac.
Look at the Planned Parenthood scandal for an example of how degraded our society has become. Secretly produced videos clearly show Planned Parenthood leaders laughing and joking about harvesting the organs of babies and selling them for profit. The supporters of Planned Parenthood respond by saying that the videos are heavily edited. Then we learn they were edited to take out things like taking trips to the bathroom and ordering food and that forensic experts overwhelmingly find them authentic. The advocates of abortion on demand do not dispute what is said they dispute the manner in which the information was obtained.
Progressives will argue for the personhood of chimpanzees because their DNA is a 99% match to human. Yet they deny the personhood of babies in the womb that are a 100% match. These types of dichotomies and absurdities among our ruling class remind one that hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue.
Look at the current presidential demolition derby.
The Republicans clearly favor people who are not traditional Republicans. After looking over their establishment, mainline Republicans and the rank and file members of the Party are asking isn’t there someone else? I believe if Someone Else was on the Ballot in the coming primaries they could well win. As it is, since they must choose from people actually on the ballot after dismissing him as a reality star the betting is beginning to move towards a Trump win. Mr. Trump is a big man with big ideas, unfortunately most of these will need big government to accomplish and the hope for a return to limited government recedes a little further from the realm of possibility with big government advocates on both sides.
On the Democrat side we are witnessing the Clinton restoration and America is heading for a sequel to the Golden Nineties when character didn’t matter and White House interns were fair game. Hillary, after her original courageous testimony concerning Benghazi summed it up in “At this point what does it matter?” continues doing her Whitewater stonewalling routine to the applause of her devotees.
The handwriting is on the wall and we may have truly reached the tipping point where whoever wins the Democrat primaries wins the election. Eighteen States have voted Democrat in six consecutive elections with 242 electoral votes. University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato said the hurdle for Republicans doesn’t look any better if you count the underlying votes by citizens, not just the electoral results. “Democrats have also won the popular vote in five of the last six presidential contests,” Sabato said. “The demographic shifts heading to mid-century are all pro-Democratic.”
Add to this that the illegal migration invaders are being dispersed to red states combined with court ordered motor-voter status and what is coming is a tsunami of undocumented democrats to turn the red states blue. We are nearing a mirror image of Chicago where the Republicans often don’t even bother to run a candidate for mayor because they have a hard time finding sacrificial lambs.
They have elections in China. Everyone eighteen years or older can vote. They get the chance to choose between a communist and another communist. This adds up to an election in name only or a distinction without a difference.
In America today we get to choose between one of two members of the twin headed party of power. Whoever wins the government grows and more power is concentrated in Washington. Clinton, Bush, Trump, or Sanders whoever wins the bureaucracy continues to wield extra-constitutional power and the Founders dream of a limited government grows dimmer.
Seeing what is happening to our American heritage is like waking up one day and realizing that eventually all of your prized possessions and all of your memories will end up in a land fill.
This all reminds me that a pessimist is what an optimist calls a realist.
Sounds depressing doesn’t it? In the world we have little hope for change. We are on an express to national suicide and the fix is in. This is why I have written my latest book, Political Action Follows Political Philosophy. This book was written because I believe once liberty is extinguished it may be generations before the light of freedom will again burn bright. I wrote this book to be a seed for future generations so they will know what happened to the American experiment and provide the philosophical foundations for the rebirth of limited government, personal freedom, and economic opportunity.
Because, the vast majority of human action reflects the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings of the actor. There have always been and there will always be those whose actions are erratic or divorced from reality. The actions of this small minority are best ascribed to pathology not philosophy. For the rest of us, we think therefore we are. What we think about today we act upon tomorrow.
The Dispatches from the History of the Future contained in this book convey the basic political philosophy which I believe will one day re-inspire our nation to stride upon the stage of History with another round of liberating political action.
