NUGGETS AND TIDBITS

The Clinton Global Initiative is being shut down. Since the election and Hillary’s loss, there is no reason for foreign governments to continue to donate money to the Clintons. Since this little shakedown first started, it has always been an influence peddling scheme. With Hillary’s loss and with no influence to peddle or sell, no cash was going to come in. This, however will not cause the investigation to end. A Republican led Justice Department will get to the bottom of this “pay for play” enterprise and indictments will follow.

As I write this Rep. John Lewis, D Georgia, has decided that Trump’s victory is illegitimate. Therefore he, along with a number of other Democrats, will not attend the inauguration. He did the same for George Bush’s inauguration. I hope this doesn’t come as a shock to Mr. Lewis and the others, but I don’t care. I don’t think Donald Trump cares either. Over the next few months and years people will either be a part of the solution or a part of the problem. Which will you be Rep. Lewis?

Rosie O'Donnell has decided she should declare “Martial Law” until Trump is cleared of all charges??? Charges? What charges? Also, this little bit of information to Rosie. Private citizens cannot declare Martial Law and who really believes, other than a few wild-eyed liberals who see themselves as the smartest and most influential, that our own military would take up arms against Trump? Martial law is when the military takes over complete control of the government. Our military is far more apt to round up people like Rosie O’Donnell and put them in a rubber room for their own protection.

I am amazed as I watch this all unfold. As a lifelong Republican, it isn’t my place to say but, why do the Democrats think they lost? In their heart of hearts they surely know the Russians had nothing to do with our election. They also must surely know the election was fair and honest. Do you suppose it is possible that at some point in time they will come to understand that the reason they lost was, one, they had a scandal ridden, flawed candidate? Two, this election was a repudiation of the Obama Administration and his programs. Thirdly the American people were growing weary of the continued excuses for a poor economy. The recovery touted by Obama was lame at best. We always knew we could do better.

The direction of the country was not what the majority wanted. Think about it. The national media is out of hand. They have become nothing more than a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. Now Trump goes around the media by tweeting his opinions and thoughts. This drives them crazy because they are then not able to filter his thoughts and add their own agendas.

We are going to see some major changes in the coming days. Trump will probably spend his first few hours as President eliminating most of Obama’s executive orders. Obamacare is history. Illegal aliens running freely across our borders will end. Cities who have been defying Federal law with regard to these illegals will pay dearly if they continue. We are going to see major tax relief. The billions of dollars which have been hidden overseas will come back. Small businesses, relieved of the onerous regulation which has been strangling them, will come back.

Finally, I believe the VA will get fixed. The bureaucracy which has been responsible for its mismanagement will have to change. Veterans need pure choice and not government runaround. Incompetent employees and managers will be terminated and replaced by capable people. It can’t happen soon enough.
