IT'S TIME TO SEND THE HIPPIES HOME

Why are liberals always so mad? Take a look at Bernie Sanders. Have you ever seen him smile? Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren are always scowling and just visibly angry. Perhaps if you had the world view that they have, you would be mad too. It could be that they know in their heart of hearts that they are fighting a losing battle and it is just a matter of time until it is all over for them. Or it could be that they understand that Trump’s programs are working and their plans have proven time and again not to work. That’s enough to bring a frown to any liberal’s face.

I actually know a few liberals personally and even communicate with them. We don’t usually talk about the future however. Liberals seem to have a negative idea of the future. What a terrible way to live. 

Listen to Bernie. Everything is bad and getting worse, and he actually believes it. The same with Joe Biden. The problem with these folks is that they don’t want to be confused with any facts. They seem to prefer the world they live in. Where did all this thinking come from? This isn’t America. America is a shining city on a hill, not the pit of despair these liberals believe it to be.

Conservatives, on the other hand, seem to have a more positive attitude about the world in general. Look at Trump. Even with the entire Democrat party trying to come down on his head, he still smiles broadly. His world view is completely different from that of the Democrats. I think this comes from the confidence of knowing. 

So, what do conservatives know that gives them such confidence? Well they know that the programs that have been put into effect by the Trump Administration work. They know that personal responsibility is necessary in a free society and they are capable of being responsible. They know that having a job beats being on the government dole. 

For years I have tried to determine the biggest differences between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives believe in personal responsibility. Liberals don’t. Conservatives believe in the rule of law. Liberals don’t. Conservatives believe there should be some restraint on one’s actions. Liberals don’t. I know some liberal folks who, given the opportunity, would lay on their sofa, smoking dope, drawing a government check, and never even think about getting an actual job. Conservative people would shudder at the thought of not being able to earn their own living. 

I lived in the California Bay Area during my early twenties. I watched the onset of the hippie movement. I remember seeing large groups of them in San Francisco standing on a corner and I could smell them from quite a distance. You see, they didn’t believe in bathing. This was the beginning of today’s liberal movement. They didn’t want any rules. They wanted to just travel through life doing whatever they pleased, whenever they pleased. Bathing was for other people. Jobs were for suckers. Besides it all got in the way of their preferred way of living which was total freedom with no restraints.

Fortunately, that way of living faded into the dust, but remnants have remained. Some of these hippies had offspring and some of these offspring grew up and became actual adults. The problem is they brought some of their parent’s thinking with them into adulthood. Today’s San Francisco is an example of what I am talking about.

I believe today’s liberals were spawned by hippie thinking. Bernie Sanders lived on welfare for most of his early adulthood. He is nothing more than an aging hippie and his thinking is dangerous to freedom loving people everywhere. 

This country needs responsible people to get busy and send these flakes back to their hippie pads and out of public life. Then we all can smile.

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A DILEMMA

The Democrats have a dilemma. They know that none of their announced candidates for President can beat incumbent Donald Trump. Worse than that, they also know that if Sanders wins the nomination, he will split the Democrats beyond any means of recovery. Their original hope that Biden would be their champion has proven to be faulty. Biden’s age and lack of any real political skill is showing every day. They know that avowed homosexual Buttigeig cannot win a national election. Warren was always a joke. Billionaire Steyer is a political neophyte and it shows. Bloomberg comes off as a hateful old man who really isn’t gaining the kind of traction he would need to win any national election. Besides, nobody wants government to tell them how much salt they can use or regulate the size of their soft drink.

When you add to that the simple fact that under Trump our economy is exploding, unemployment is at historic lows, and confidence is growing more every day. For Democrats, this is a dilemma. 

Did you hear James Carville? You may remember Carville as the Democrat operative who was key to the election of Bill Clinton. He is the one who famously said, “It’s the economy, stupid.” Well he is going to be famous again. On a recent television talk show he said that some in the Democrat party seem to want to be in a cult. He was obviously referring to the socialist movement in the party and specifically Bernie Sanders. No doubt he was also talking about the “squad” and those who seem hell bent on taking over the Democrat party and moving it so far to the left that it goes over the cliff. Carville said he was not a cult kind of person. I’m pretty sure you are not alone, James. Bernie commented on hearing Carville’s thoughts that he was just a political hack. Politics is a tough business. 

Plainly stated, the Democrat party is in disarray.

I don’t want to think about it but, if Bernie Sanders even got the nomination to be President, the stock market would lose half of its value in a matter of days. Did you know that since Trump’s election it has gained over 11,000 points? Some say, so what. They don’t seem to understand that our entire economy as well as their jobs and way of life is directly affected by the stock market. The actual election of any socialist or even one who leans in that direction would put this country back to the dark ages. I could see real estate losing over half of its value and unemployment in double figures.

America needs to wake up. This leftist movement is designed to destroy this country as we know it. All the free stuff is nothing more than shiny objects meant to divert our attention away from the true motives of the socialists. 

The Democrats and their willing associates in the liberal leftist media have done everything in their power to get rid of this President. They have lied and continue to do so. They investigate, use special prosecutors, and even tried to impeach him. It didn’t work. 

Attention Democrats and the liberal media, in the last election sixty-three million people voted for Trump. I am sure some of those thought their vote was less than a ringing endorsement of Trump, but they voted anyway. Since Trump’s election and the almost miracle-like recovery our country has experienced, how many of those people do you suppose will vote for Trump in 2020? I’d say probably all those sixty-three million plus another thirty to forty million more. Who believes this country wants to return to the dismal days of Democrats in charge? Does anybody actually think this country would throw it all away for a moron like Bernie Sanders?

The Democrats know everything I just wrote is true and that’s called a dilemma.

I'M LOOKING FOR ORANGE JUMPSUITS

Everything they have tried has failed. From the Russian hoax to impeachment, nothing has worked. The reason is simple, it has all been a lie. No reasonably sane person actually believed Donald Trump conspired with the Russians to win an election. The Democrats pulled everything they could out of their dirty tricks bag and it all failed. 

The multimillion-dollar Mueller investigation proved to be just a silly, expensive exercise in futility. This, you may remember, was originated by FBI agents lying to the FISA court to get authority to spy on the Trump campaign. You should also remember that the so-called evidence offered to the court was from a phony dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton which has since been proven to be all lies and made up from whole cloth by a disgraced British spy. 

All of this was clearly coordinated by higher ups in the Justice Department and the FBI. It may have even been run by the Obama Administration. 

When Trump refused to be intimidated by all this, the Congress decided to just impeach him and deal with it that way. We were treated to wild eyed drama from wild eyed Congressmen and women. All led by the most wide eyed of them all, Nancy Pelosi. The result? Complete exoneration, of course. This, their final act of desperation, also failed. Worse than that for them, it resulted in Trump’s popularity growing by leaps and bounds. 

Now any reasonable person watching all this would have to conclude that it was a wasted exercise and now it is time to get back to the real work of the Congress. I did say reasonable didn’t I? Apparently Democrats shouldn’t be considered as reasonable. 

They have now decided to start all over again with what they are calling “Impeachment 2.0”. I am reminded of the old adage, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. They have to know that they will lose this fight again and will come away looking like complete idiots. But, I guess that’s what idiots do. 

The real problem for the Democrats is that they think they represent majority- thinking regarding Trump. Nothing could be further from the truth. They look like a general waving a sword charging into battle leading his troops only to realize nobody is following him. 

So, how do reasonable, sane people stop this nonsense? Well I don’t know if this would stop it, but I guarantee it would put a serious dent in their thinking. We should immediately begin prosecuting all those who were involved with the attempted overthrow of our duly elected government. Hillary conspired with the Russians, not Trump. The FBI lied to the FISA court, not Trump. Adam Schiff lied to the Congress, not Trump. You would be amazed at what few well-placed indictments might accomplish, not to mention a few parades in orange jumpsuits in front of the cameras.

Those closest to me say this is just having wishful thinking. Probably, but all those folks involved in this attempted coup should go to bed tonight and thank God that I am not in charge. 

In the final analysis it is up to us. I heard talk today that if the Republicans wind up with control of Congress after the next election, they intend to expunge the record of Trump’s impeachment. So much for Pelosi’s belief that Trump will forever be stained by this impeachment. I don’t care. I never believed it was a legal impeachment anyway. It was always just a political dirty trick and the fun part is that it has blown up in the face of the perpetrators.

PETTINESS ON DISPLAY

PETTINESS ON DISPLAY

Every time I think I have seen or heard it all, something happens to blow my mind all over again. 

It has become the norm for Members of Congress to behave in certain ways during the State of the Union speech by the President. If the President is a Republican, the Democrats as members of the opposition party sit on their hands during applause breaks. After all one could not expect the opposition to approve of anything good coming out of the other side. It is all so predictable. Even when the very security of the country is discussed, Democrats can find no good reason to offer congratulations to a Republican President.

I have no problem with this childish behavior. Look at who we are dealing with. For the most part these are people you wouldn’t even allow in your house for a meal. Let them play their silly little games. The only message they offer is that they are trite little people who would be more at home on a school playground than in the halls of Congress. 

Last night’s State of the Union was no exception. It all went as planned until the very end. That’s when the Speaker of the House, the queen of the swamp, Nancy Pelosi decided to give pettiness a brand new meaning. In a dramatic display of disrespect, she tore up her copy of the speech given to her by the President after his remarks. She did it with an evil relish and a snarl on her face. She appeared to make sure that the entire event was front and center for the cameras. I am sure that in her tiny mind she was showing the world how disgusted she was with the whole affair. Well guess what. She miscalculated. This whole thing is blowing up in her face. People all across the spectrum and that includes members of her own party were disgusted by the spectacle. 

As it stands today, those torn up pages could well find their way to the National Museum where they would sit on display as a testament to the former party known as Democrat. 

If you are a Democrat is this what you expect from one of your leaders? Are you okay with such an expression of hatred for the duly elected President of the United States? If this is all okay with you, shame on you. Shame on Nancy Pelosi. Shame on the very few in the audience who thought this was funny. It was not.

I suspect this November, when Trump is reelected by a landslide and the Republicans take over both houses of Congress, that situation like Pelosi’s hissy fit might come back to haunt them. Many current Members will be looking for new jobs. I was just at a McDonalds. They had a sign up that they were looking for help. Don’t say I never helped people in need. 

In all my years on this planet I never thought I would see such disrespect on display. We are better than this. We have the right to demand better from our elected Representatives. They are our employees. Let’s fire them and start over.

THIS IS AMERICA, QUIT MESSING WITH IT

I have tried to watch some of the so-called impeachment of our President. Frankly it has been so disgusting, it is almost unwatchable. I am writing this on Saturday just shortly after the Republicans have started their defense. If, what the defense is saying is true, and I believe it is, the Democrats should hang their heads in shame. Consider this. If the Democrats had a majority in the Senate today, Trump would be removed from office. With no evidence, no crime, no misdemeanor, the vote of the American people would be thrown out and the Democrats would select a President that suits them without regard to the will of the American people. That my friends, is the real danger here today. 

Future Presidential elections would become irrelevant. In the event voters elect a President who is of a different party than the Congress, all the Congress has to do is impeach him and he would be removed, no questions asked. And that goes for the Republicans as well as Democrats. Any such President would be subject to blackmail. The Speaker simply has to say to the President, give us what we want or we will kick you out of office. Is that what America wants? I think not. That is the weaponization of the impeachment process. 

I have mentioned Joe Soucheray before. Joe is a radio personality whose show is called “Garage Logic”. He broadcasts from St. Paul, Minnesota. Joe has a lot of interesting sayings but one of my favorites is this, “liberals can’t connect the dots.'' It’s one of the main reasons most of their programs fall apart. They never consider what the result of their pipedreams will be. They either can’t or won't connect the dots. They obviously haven’t considered the outcome of this latest political dirty trick. I am quite sure that they have a perfect scenario in their minds that basically eliminates Trump from office as well as removing him from the ballot in the 2020 election. They have publicly announced that they cannot beat him at the ballot box so they have to impeach him. Do you think a political party should have the power to select who will be the President without the vote of the people? I’m pretty sure that is not what the Founders had in mind when they established the rules for impeaching a president.

So, what is next? As much as I would like to see the continued humiliation of the Democrats in the House, I think Leader McConnell should call for a vote and end this charade immediately. It would be for the good of the country.

Then we should put into place a system that stops this kind of political chicanery for all time. Our government consists of three branches. Maybe the answer is to make the Judicial more powerful so as to rein in politicians who scream insults at the President and threaten him. That already is illegal. Why don’t we prosecute offenders? Maxine Waters should be held to account for screaming for the impeachment of Trump on the day he was sworn in as President. 

Look at the millions the Democrats have spent already trying to thwart the will of the American people. Look at the lives that have been ruined in this effort. Look at the reputations which have been destroyed. We need a legal remedy for this nonsense. 

Finally, the Democrats must be held responsible. Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Waters, AOC and the squad, plus all others who have participated in this scam should be summarily removed from office forever. America deserves better. The Congressional districts involved deserve better. 

The Justice Dept. and the FBI absolutely must clean house. Individuals, regardless of their rank, who would lie to any court in order to gain favorable rulings should be prosecuted. And this last frightening thought, if Hillary had won, we would never have known about any of this corruption. This is America. Quit messing with it.

GOLD PLATED AND MONOGRAMED

Well the high mistress of the swamp has finally brought the articles of impeachment to the Senate. It took a while for her to get around to bringing these phony charges and we finally found out what the holdup was. Nancy Pelosi, in keeping with her solemn, prayerful, philosophy, decided to have special pens made to commemorate the occasion. Apparently not just any pens would do. No, these had to be special pens for the signing of the documents. These special pens are gold plated and personally signed by none other than the Speaker herself. How arrogant can you get? I just hope the taxpayers didn’t have to pay for this farce, but I’m sure they did.

Not content with just the turning over of the documents, Pelosi had to add her snarky comments. She said, obviously aware of the almost certain dismissal of the charges by the Senate, that Trump was impeached and that impeachment will be forever. For all of history he will be on record as having been impeached. Senator Ted Cruz added a thoughtful comment. Yes, and when the Senate acquits him, he will be acquitted forever,

It is important for history that it be noted that the Democrats alone impeached President Trump. This was a Democrat, completely partisan, act designed to negate the 2016 election and to affect the 2020 election. It will go down in history as completely partisan without a single Republican vote and will forever be seen as what it is, a political dirty trick.

For those among you who like history and even like to try to prejudge what history will be, I have something more to consider. 

Like most of the sane people in the world I believe Trump will be exonerated by the Senate and all of this impeachment nonsense will just be a bad memory, that is until election day later this year. On that day I believe Trump will be reelected by a huge landslide and that he will bring a strong Republican Congress with him. That means that Her Highness Nancy Pelosi, will no longer be Speaker and will fade into the dust heap of bad political history. I’m pretty sure that is not the history she had in mind when all this impeachment talk started. And it started well before Trump was even sworn in as President. You see, he committed the unpardonable sin. He beat another anointed one in the Democrat party, Hillary Clinton. 

Some of my more astute readers have said even when Trump is found to be innocent of any of the charges brought by this kangaroo court, the Democrats will just try again to impeach him. I’m sure the wheels are already in motion.

Well guess what Dems, the American people are fed up with this crap. They will not sit still for another round of political gamesmanship. The smart Democrats know that. And yes, there are some smart Democrats. Let’s hope they are smart enough to put this country first instead of their politics. 

We the people have the ultimate power here. Look around you. Look at the numbers. Look at the economy. Look at the state of our nation. No President in recent history has had a more positive effect on this country. Unemployment is at historic lows. Never have we, as a country, been more secure. 

So, what is the Democrat’s problem? Simple. They want the power and they know that Trump will be reelected and they will have to wait again for the power they crave.

The Senate should immediately dismiss the impeachment charges against the President using, among other reasons, the comments by Democrat Professor Alan Dershowitz, legal scholar and former law professor at Harvard. Loosely quoted he said, “even if all of the charges against Trump were proven, there would still be no legal, Constitutional way to remove him from office.” You got that Dems? You should take your gold plated pens and prepare your resumes or otherwise use your imaginations.

SHARING MILITARY SECRETS WITH CONGRESS. ARE YOU KIDDING?

Some Members of Congress are upset with President Trump who, as Commander- in-Chief of the military and within his authority, took a military action which killed one of our enemies without consulting them first. So upset are they that they have decided to enact legislation that restricts the President in the performance of his duties. They want to know first before he does anything so they can decide if they are okay with it. 

Now, let us look at just who would be informed before we carry out any military mission, top secret or not. I am going to point out just a few of the clowns who would be notified before our military could do their job. 

Let’s start with that mental giant, Rep. Hank Johnson, D. GA. Hank who famously believes that the island of Guam is floating like a cork in the sea. You may remember when he cautioned us against stationing eight thousand troops on Guam believing that would cause the island to flip over. Hmmm. Then there’s Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D. Texas. One of her many brilliant questions was whether we had photographed the American flag that Neil Armstrong had planted on Mars. It appears Jackson Lee doesn’t know the difference between Mars and the moon. 

How about the “squad”? These are three women who can’t seem to decide which side they are on. Their loyalties seem to me to be more for the thugs in the Middle East than with our own country. And they want our government to inform them first before we take military action anywhere? They want to have the authority to approve or disapprove of our actions? To quote a line from an old television show, “I don’t think so, Tim.” 

Next comes Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Jerry Nadler, and far too many others to even name. These, in my view, are not trustworthy people. I wouldn’t share any secrets with them, certainly not one which involved a military mission which could result in harm to our troops.They have proven time and again that they cannot be trusted with any secrets, certainly not secrets which could get our troops killed.

Now I understand these people have been elected by their constituency. I also recognize that Congress is a separate branch of government from the Executive branch. But I do not believe the Founding Fathers ever imagined there would be people like this elected by the people to serve in the Congress. Consider, if you will, the people who voted for Maxine Waters or Hank Johnson. They have to know what idiots they are. What does that say about the voters in their districts?

This is yet another reason to elect intelligent people to Congress. These are the folks who enact the laws which direct our lives. We absolutely must find out who is running and what they are all about. Big money and slick television ads say nothing about the character of the candidate. I have long believed we should have a minimum IQ score to serve in Congress. Sadly, if we did, the halls would probably be empty for the most part.

Fortunately for America, Trump will make decisions for the good of the country and not for the benefit of a political party. We truly couldn’t have a better Commander-in-Chief. 

By the way. I just watched the College National Football Championship which our President and his wife attended. There was spontaneous cheering for them both. Chants of “USA” and “four more years” were loud and clear.  Mind you, this wasn’t a political rally. It was a football game. The Democrats have very good reasons to be worried.
