PERFECT MAN FOR THE JOB

Donald Trump is NOT a perfect parson, but he IS the perfect person for the job we elected him to do. 

He sometimes says things I wish he had not said, and he often tweets things I wish he hadn’t, but in spite of that, like it or not, he IS the savior of our Republic. 


We have tried softer speaking, more gentlemanly speaking presidents in the past, and they didn’t achieve the results the country needed.  The GOP establishment’s distinguished gentleman candidates of the past – George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain and Romney – all looked and acted as though they belonged at the head of a boardroom table somewhere.

Democrats elected Obama who is quite well spoken, and almost completely destroyed the country.  I shudder to think of the condition this country would now be in if Hillary had won the election.

We now have the perfect man for the job, so let’s all give him our full support in the mid-term elections and help him continue to “make America Great again”. 

Judge him by the state of the country which has been under his watch the last two years, not by his mannerisms which you may not approve of.  Listed below are facts and not emotional platitudes.  Read them and judge for yourself.

*Reduced regulations on business and lowered business taxes, which has led to historic economic growth.
*The tax cuts ( I now actually keep more of my money / the 50% of the citizens that didn’t pay ANY taxes before still don’t pay ANY taxes)
*The stock market is at historic highs and trillions of wealth has been created ( anyone with a mutual fund, IRA, or 401k is worth more than ever)
* Pulled out of the Paris Accord which penalized the US while allowing countries like China to continue to pollute for the next 20 years (They are the highest producer of greenhouse gases in the world)
*Unemployment is at an all time low
*This is the first time in many many years where the unemployment rate is lower than the GDP
*Unemployment for Blacks, Hispanic, Women, and Veterans is at historic lows
* Fewer citizens are reliant on food stamps
*There are more jobs than there are people looking for jobs
*The GDP last quarter was 4.2% . Political analyst said this could never happen. The last President said we need to get used to sub 2% growth and that manufacturing jobs are gone and folks need to accept that and get retrained for another job
* Manufacturing jobs are up
*Multiple Fortune 500 companies are reinvesting in this country and cancelled plans to move businesses outside US
* Hundreds if companies across the country gave bonuses and raises to thousands of employees after tax cuts
*Consumer confidence is at an all time high.
* The NATO partners are finally paying their dues
* He is renegotiating our trade agreements and today struck a deal with Mexico that even stipulates they have to pay workers a fair wage to do business in the US
*Our citizens that were held hostage in North Korea were returned without paying a ransom.
*North Korea is no longer shooting missiles over Japan
* Pressure has been put on China and our other trading partners to repair all the trade deficits
*Isis has been beaten back

*Iran is no longer intimidating our Navy’s ships at sea.
* The military is getting an overdue equipment upgrade and the men in uniform are getting raises
*He has shown unwavering support for first responders, the military, police , and the American Flag
* Continued pressure through sanctions on Russia, North Korea, and Iran ( the Iranian economy is collapsing )
*US is now a net exporter of fuel
* Etc.

Just imagine what he could have accomplished if the entire Democratic wasn’t fighting against him on everything he tries to do.

 I urge each and every American please get out and vote in this very important midterm election, and Please vote a straight Republican ballet to help support what our President is trying to accomplish.

God Bless our President, and God Bless America!

Patrick Buchanan predicts 'we are in for a hellish year'

Do Democrats want an impeachment fight?

Patrick Buchanan predicts 'we are in for a hellish year'

“If anyone is looking for a good lawyer,” said President Donald Trump ruefully, “I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen.” Michael Cohen is no Roy Cohn.

Tuesday, Trump’s ex-lawyer, staring at five years in prison, pled guilty to a campaign violation that may not even be a crime.

Cohen had fronted the cash, $130,000, to pay porn star Stormy Daniels for keeping quiet about a decade-old tryst with Trump. He had also brokered a deal whereby the National Enquirer bought the rights to a story about a Trump affair with a Playboy model, to kill it.

Cohen claims he and Trump thus conspired to violate federal law. But paying girlfriends to keep past indiscretions private is neither a crime nor a campaign violation. And Trump could legally contribute as much as he wished to his own campaign for president.

Would a Democratic House, assuming we get one, really impeach a president for paying hush money to old girlfriends?

Hence the high-fives among never-Trumpers are premature.

But if Cohen’s guilty plea and Tuesday’s conviction of campaign manager Paul Manafort do not imperil Trump today, what they portend is ominous. For Cohen handled Trump’s dealings for more than a decade and has pledged full cooperation with prosecutors from both the Southern District of New York and the Robert Mueller investigation.

Nothing that comes of this collaboration will be helpful to Trump.

Also, Manafort, now a convicted felon facing life in prison, has the most compelling of motives to “flip” and reveal anything that could be useful to Mueller and harmful to Trump.

Then there is the Mueller probe itself.

Twenty-six months after the Watergate break-in, President Nixon had resigned. Twenty-six months after the hacking of the DNC and John Podesta emails, Mueller has yet to deliver hard evidence the Trump campaign colluded with Putin’s Russia, though this was his mandate.

However having, for a year now, been marching White House aides and campaign associates of Trump before a grand jury, Mueller has to be holding more cards than he is showing. And even if they do not directly implicate the president, more indictments may be coming down.

Mueller may not have the power to haul the president before a grand jury or indict him. After all, it is Parliament that deposes and beheads the king, not the sheriff of Nottingham. But Mueller will file a report with the Department of Justice that will be sent to the House.

And as this Congress has only weeks left before the 2018 elections, it will be the new House that meets in January, which may well be Democratic, that will receive Mueller’s report.

Still, as of now, it is hard to see how two-thirds of a new Senate would convict this president of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Thus we are in for a hellish year.

Trump is not going to resign. To do so would open him up to grand jury subpoenas, federal charges and civil suits for the rest of his life. To resign would be to give up his sword and shield, and all of his immunity. He would be crazy to leave himself naked to his enemies.

No, given his belief that he is under attack by people who hate him and believe he is an illegitimate president, and seek to bring him down, he will use all the powers of the presidency in his fight for survival. And as he has shown, these powers are considerable: the power to rally his emotional following, to challenge courts, to fire Justice officials and FBI executives, to pull security clearances, to pardon the convicted.

Democrats who have grown giddy about taking the House should consider what a campaign to bring down a president – who is supported by a huge swath of the nation and has fighting allies in the press – would be like.

Why do it? Especially if they knew in advance the Senate would not convict.

That America has no desire for a political struggle to the death over impeachment is evident. Recognition of this reality is why the Democratic Party is assuring America that impeachment is not what they have in mind.

Today, it is Republican leaders who are under pressure to break with Trump, denounce him, and call for new investigations into alleged collusion with the Russians. But if Democrats capture the House, then they will be the ones under intolerable pressure from their own media auxiliaries to pursue impeachment.

Taking the House would put newly elected Democrats under fire from the right for forming a lynch mob, and from the mainstream media for not doing their duty and moving immediately to impeach Trump.

Democrats have been laboring for two years to win back the House. But if they discover that the first duty demanded of them, by their own rabid followers, is to impeach President Trump, they may wonder why they were so eager to win it.

Open letter to Miss Sarah Jeong.

This is an open letter to Miss Sarah Jeong.  

If you don’t know who she is, I will just say she is an extremely racist young Asian lady whom the New York Times recently hired as a member of their editorial board.  Here is her photo along with one of her recent tweets.

 

There were a lot more of facebook, but the really bad ones have now been deleted…

She seems to have a genuine hatred for “old white American men”.  I know that she was born in South Korea, and she seems to be a well-educated person, so she must have at least some knowledge of the history of South Korea, and the roll these “old white American men” played in that history.

I wonder if she has ever even considered the possibility that she might not even be alive today if not for some of those Dumbass white people she seems to hate so much.  I wonder if she even knows that the Korean People were actually slaves of another Asian country until America put an end to their slavery with the end of WW2.  I wonder if she knows how many Americans fought and died protecting South Korea during the Korean War.

I was stationed in South Korea for a year shortly after the war so I know what her Grandparents and Great Grandparents went through.  Many of us from the 58^th Fighter Bomber wing spent most of our off duty time taking care of South Korean Orphanages.  We often took cases of powdered milk and powdered eggs, along with gum and candy bars to them.  When time permitted, we played games with the kids and even taught them to speak a little English.

I’m not writing this to brag about our “good deeds”, I just want people to understand why her words hurt so many of us.  There were literally thousands of orphans in south Korea in those days, so it is within the realm of possibility that one or more of her grandparents or great grandparents could have been one of them… Wouldn’t that be ironic?

THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INCOMPETENCE

The FBI is supposed to be completely non-partisan.  I don’t know exactly when it first became political, but it was long before President Trump was elected. 
It was really apparent to me during most of Obama’s second term, but became far worse during the campaign.  What is occurring today is nothing less than the crumbling of the foundations of an agency that for many years personified the finest in government service and law enforcement. There can be no strong foundation at the FBI when the pillars of leadership are corrupt. 

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation, which later became special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, possible collusion by Trump campaign associations and now much more.  

Sessions’ deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, a career prosecutor, has no job security either. It was he, after Sessions’ recusal, who recommended that Trump fire Comey.  When Trump took his advice and fired Comey, he then appointed Mueller as special counsel to investigate Trump for firing Comey as part of the Russian collusion investigation.
Rosenstein retains his job, despite constant talk that he could be fired, but he must walk into the building each day and wonder if it will be his last on the job.  Sessions has warned that he might leave his post if Rosenstein is fired.

Comey’s book tour is, as expected, a flop.  He has enemies on both sides of the aisle.  Democrats who believe he cost Hillary Clinton the presidency by reopening the investigation into her use of a private email server just before the election.  Republicans dislike him because of his obvious roll in the plot to take down the president. 

Comey’s book was an opportunity to make the case for his actions and past decisions, to sanitize his reputation much as possible.  If that was his intent, he blew it.  The things he says about his interactions with the president is just as damning to himself, as his prior testimony before Congress was. Those accounts are backed up by contemporaneous memos he made which have been shared with Congress and have now become public. 

Any hope Comey might have had of being seen as objective in telling the story of the president’s response to the Russia probe and their interactions was undercut by some of his petty personal remarks in the book and by his using his book tour to attempt to destroy the President.  Case in point is when he declared that he believes Trump is “morally unfit.”  Comey is entitled to his opinions about the president, but by expressing them so soon, he has established that he was NOT a bi-partisan law enforcement official.

Comey’s loose lips is not by any means the FBI’s only problem.  The agency is also in the middle of a damaging controversy involving Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director who was fired by Sessions a day before his scheduled retirement. He now faces the possibility of criminal charges for authorizing the sharing of information with the Wall Street Journal about investigations involving Clinton and, according to the department’s inspector general, later misleading investigators. Like Comey, McCabe also was helping to rig the election for Hillary, and when that failed, both were involved in the scheme to take down the president. 

Restoring the FBI to its former status will not be easy, and it will take time, possible years.   The degree that public confidence has been eroded by these events, and the fact that there are conflicting interpretations of what the problem is. It may be MANY years.   Like so much else these days, the FBI is in danger of becoming one more partisan battlefield in an endless and consequential war.
