Former Secretary of State John Kerry & the Iran Nuclear Deal

It is being reported that former Secretary of State, John Kerry, is working “behind the scene” to keep the Iran Nuclear Deal alive. Now let’s think about that for a moment. On its face, it sounds like no big deal, but I have to wonder how one gets the contact info for the Mullahs in Iran? I seriously doubt that any average American can just get on the phone and call up any given leader of a country.

So that must mean that John Kerry is using top government clearance information, obtained while he was serving as Secretary to deliberately go behind the backs of the C.I.A., and other officials assigned to these matters of foreign diplomacy for his own purposes. Doesn’t that genuinely undermine the normal process of diplomacy assigned to the responsibility of the current Secretary of State?

I can see no better example of treason. This is the definition of treason – A former top-level government official, working with foreign governments on top-secret matters, concerning nuclear weapons.

Where the heck is the F.B.I., The Justice Department, the C.I.A., and the Foreign Intelligence Committee on this? Kerry should at the very least, be brought in for suspicion of both espionage and treason immediately.

Unless and until some of these high-profile people are treated  under the same rule of law as average Americans, there can be no faith in the legal process in this country.

 

Caravan or Act of War?

The Republican Party, and everyone else in the White House have to stop buying into Liberal definitions. A peaceful demonstration by legal American citizens is NOT the same as non-citizens attempting to cross America’s borders bypassing the legal immigration laws and processes.  This so-called  “Caravan” is nothing less than an invasion force from a foreign country. The only difference here, is that they are not wearing regular military uniforms, but then again, neither do most guerrilla fighters in these South American countries. The military needs to be deployed to halt the invaders, and turn them back!

If the United States does not act in this manner, next time, there will be ten thousand, instead of just the thousand that are expected. Many might say, “…but they aren’t carrying any weapons”. No one can say for certain how many are carrying weapons, or what type they may be, however, we can say for certain that these people intend to break our laws through an unlawful entry. We can also say for certain, that we have no idea whether these people’s intentions are to benefit this country, or abuse the entitlement programs that President Obama generously expanded during his tenure.

In any case this attempt to cross our border is nothing short than an act of war, and should be dealt with as such!

Veto Spending Bill, President Trump

PLEASE VETO THIS SPENDING BILL, PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!!

One has to know that if Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi love the spending bill it has to go against every principle that you stand for. You campaigned on the promise to drain the “swamp”.

These R.I.N.O.’s and Democrats that passed this over 2,000 page bill, are “the swamp”. Not only must this bill be vetoed, but Congress must be forced to stay in session until it’s READ and hammered out!

Shame on Facebook

The S.E.C., F.T.C., F.B.I. and the U.S. Congress all need to get a handle on the runaway train that is internet related criminal activity. Mark Zuckerberg should be jailed. There is no circumstance that excuses the invasion of privacy that has occurred at Facebook.

These high and mighty ultra wealthy people that have created these access sites on the internet, somehow feel that their political views need to be used to invade people’s privacy for the betterment of humanity, even at the expense of everyone else’s civil liberties.

It is virtually impossible to use Google-search to look up any political figure without being bombarded by views of the left. These people like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Pichai, Cook and others need to be reigned in, and keep their political views at home and out of the supposedly free internet.

The powers that be in evaluating the legality of this activity need to put an end to this stuff. Congress is worried about Russian intervention-interference, but they also need to get a handle on these internet moguls, because the implications of their interference are exactly the same thing.

Interference into the very fabric of our election process or civil liberty is a criminal act from Russia or Zuckerberg, and the penalties should be the same for anyone.

 

Jim Carrey’s Sara Sanders “art”

As if Jim Carrey’s despicable rendition of Sara Sanders wasn’t repulsive enough, he had to ad his degrading comments questioning her faith, belittling himself even more.

Like most of these Hollywood elites or shall I say “so called Americans” their aspirations to live in their Socialist utopia puts them so far out of touch with reality, that they have lost all sense of morality.

It’s true that one could call this depiction “art” but let’s have a look at the outrage from the left, over the caricature depiction of Mohammed that supposedly sparked the attack on Benghazi, a lie perpetrated by Susan Rice’s Liberal propaganda spread on the fake news channels.

Venezuela is in complete chaos, maybe these elites could all go down there and form their own Utopian Socialist state, and bring order back, rather than smothering everyone with this type of garbage, and justifying it by calling it “freedom of expression”.

Using a quote from Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura, “he’s a Loosaahaherrr!!!”

Tragic Common Theme in Recent Killings

A bridge collapse at Florida International University last week killing six had structural deficiencies. Once again, an official was notified by an engineer prior to the collapse, yet no preventative measures for public safety were taken. Worse yet while testing the span, traffic was allowed to continue under the span.

There is a common theme between this and other disasters like the Parkland shooting. The failures of state and local officials to put public safety as a top priority are not the fault of the individuals who “dropped the ball” so much as the unions to which they all are members.

Union regulations and wage guidelines are set in the contracts of the workers that are employed under them. These are union guidelines outside of those that are required by law such as membership dues and other restrictive job obligations. Unions are Socialist organizations that are designed to insulate their members from the general public. The people who belong to these unions have to pledge their allegiance in writing, and a signature is required. This creates an unspoken code to watch each other’s backs for fear of reprisal, either in the form of pay demotion, or bullying from coworkers. It also creates an air of complacency, not to take on any excessive responsibility. After all their pay is the same as their coworker, so why not let a coworker handle it.

Nearly all federal and state workers are members of one of these Socialist organizations. These huge corporate organizations feed off the backs of the men and women who are members. Workers are often duped into believing that the union can provide better working conditions or better benefits. Almost always, workers have no choice, in order to be an employee; they must join the affiliated union.

The truth is that most federal laws prohibit all those things that the unions are “protecting” the worker from. Any employee can purchase health insurance for far less than what the unions expenses are, not just to the employee, but the contractors that pay the exorbitant fees for the contractual obligations to the unions. State and federal municipalities don’t mind the extra expense, because it is figured into the overblown tax budgets charged to the communities they are supposed to be serving.

So, when you see politicians blaming the N.R.A. or some other intangible thing like “social injustice” or “racism,” they are just deflecting from placing blame where it belongs. The Socialist mindset that is created when members sign up with their respective union inherently puts their interests ahead of the general public or public safety.

New Low for Democrats – Parkland School Shooting

The liberal Democrats have sunk to all time lows. They organized several protests around the country to push for gun control and make misguided verbal slanders aimed at the N.R.A.

The sad thing about it is that they used unwitting children as pawns to try to get their message across. In many cases, using the still grieving children from the Parkland Florida shooting. This in simple terms is child abuse. To use impressionable children in this manner, is beyond reproach, and the parents should be outraged. Not only were children convinced to  “cut” classes, but the Democrat politicians  used their authoritative positions as legislators and adults to bully the children from the pulpit.

All the politicians that participated in these organized marches should be prosecuted for child abuse crimes. Where are the child advocacy groups? Where is the A.C.L.U.?

President Trump’s Tariff Deal

Donald Trump has proposed a 25% tariff on imported steel and a 10% tariff on aluminum imports. Those on the left and some Republicans are, as usual, resisting the President. The argument being that it would start a trade war, or make other countries angry. The problem here is that you have politicians trying to tell a world-renowned businessman how to better conduct a deal. The same inept politicians that have made the lopsided arrangements that keep this country beholden to the rest of the world, especially when it comes to trade deals. Just as you wouldn’t have a baker fix your car, you don’t have lawyers make business decisions, or in this case, trade deals. Lawyers, i.e. politicians can draw up contracts and provide legal representations of all sorts, but make deals, not so much. Way too much reliance has been placed in the hands of these politicians to conduct these activities for the federal government.

Our country has been in a trade war for decades with many countries that we get our imported goods from. We are not winning that trade war. The fact is we are losing badly.

The love affair from the left with the ideal of globalism has put our country in this bind that is bankrupting our manufacturing sector, and leaving us too reliant on imports. The cumulative trade deficits are a huge factor in the massive national debt we have accumulated. If we remain reliant on these other countries for our domestic products, we will never make good on our credit rating, and be forced into more and more concessions with these other countries. This is another huge concern, because the media, driven by the left, has managed to keep Americans in the dark about this.

Donald Trump is doing absolutely the right thing here, and should expand the scope of these tariffs dramatically. Yes, there will be a pain at the checkout counter, but that is the result of years of degradation to our manufacturing sector sacrificed for cheaper inferior products made in China and other countries. It is time to “pay the piper” for our foolish trade policies. You can thank Bill Clinton for the initial “sell out” by instituting N.A.F.T.A.

This agreement started the downward spiral, first by importing cheap labor, then dissecting the manufacturing and other industries, by creating the reliance on cheap goods, like getting America hooked on a cheap drug. Selling out America has made the Clintons very wealthy. The problem now is the pain of weaning our dependency from the cheap imports. Like all addicts, there are those politicians who will try to think of every reason in the world to keep us dependent. These politicians get suitcases of money from these other countries lobbying to keep us hooked on these lousy trade deals.

Another unspoken factor is new businesses will emerge in the steel and aluminum industry because of the favorable tax climate and the incentives created by these tariffs. This will establish competition, which will normalize pricing and availability for consumers.

Millennials don’t recognize the enormous benefits to our country because they have never witnessed a time where most manufacturing occurred in the United States. I can remember when the United States was the manufacturing giant of the world.

Only a businessman like Donald Trump, who has lived in that great era, can recognize were we went off the rails, and figure out the best formula to fix it. Wilbur Ross and Steve Mnuchin are some of the smartest people in the world when it comes to this topic, and to watch these talking heads in the media criticize them about economics, tariffs, and trade is hilarious.

We have nearly become energy independent, and soon with the guidance of Trump and these brilliant men on his economic team, we may actually no longer be manufacturing dependent.

 

 

America’s School Shootings Epidemic

There have been many suggestions as to how to prevent a tragedy like the Parkland massacre from occurring again. Many are not only foolish, but seem to have only an ideological theme for an answer. Arming teachers is one suggestion. I personally would not feel comfortable trusting that an educator would have the ability to make the split second decision required as to when and how to use a firearm, but worse, to accidentally shoot the wrong person. Not only that, but what if the teacher failed to act as needed, or froze in the moment? The whole country would place blame on that individual for the outcome.

One cannot expect to guarantee to prevent any future tragedy by banning firearms, forced registration, or stiffening the existing laws. The F.B.I. is mainly to blame for this one. The agency has virtually unlimited resources funded by the American taxpayer. This kid, Nikolas Cruz, was on their radar, and they simply chose to not use those resources to follow-up the leads. If they had fired Strzok, Mccabe, and Page instead of reassigning them, the F.B.I. could afford to hire a half a dozen low-level agents in their place, to investigate this, and some of the other “low priority” leads that come in, like the San Bernardino shooter, and the Las Vegas one as well. The F.B.I. admittedly had prior leads regarding these tragedies, but considered them not worthy of spending our money to investigate them further. The excuse was they didn’t feel there was enough to make charges stick, given the information they had. Well guess what, that’s why you investigate things further, so that you acquire the information needed to determine if charges are justified.

Furthermore, local law enforcement failed to properly investigate this maniac, even after being called to the residence three dozen times. There was an officer at the school, but I guess the Parkland school budget didn’t have enough funding to have more than one police officer cover the enormous campus of three thousand students. The officer did nothing wrong. In an armed suspect situation, rule # 1 is there must be two officers to properly approach. One officer approaches, while the other covers and they rotate positions during the approach.

There is a lot of chatter about gun control, but before we can allow the federal government to take away our right to keep and bear arms, they must first demonstrate that they can adequately protect us without having those rights. Obviously the government has a long way to go in convincing Americans that it has that ability. These continued blatant failures at all levels of government are in essence the responsible entities in the Parkland and a whole host of other tragedies. Rather than improving their efficiency, they just continue to increase their budgets, and try to convince the public that we are the ones that need to be more vigilant.

This may not totally prevent another tragedy, but I think Congress could easily pass a law that simply states: Any facility whether public or private must either employ armed private security, adequate for its geographic size and location, or if the facility is a publicly funded one, it must have on premises, prior to opening the doors, a minimum of two law enforcement officers present. Instead of arming the teachers, the teachers would carry some sort of pager that immediately alerts the officers of the location of any given threat. I believe that the presence of two or more squad cars would be somewhat of a deterrent by itself.

We have law enforcement officers to protect our money, automobile safety, and welfare for the homeless. Why is it so difficult to perceive that they be assigned to protect our children? Most educators’ salaries are far higher than what police officers are paid. There is no reason that any public school should not have funding in their budget for adequate full-time police presence at every school in America! With the price of tuition at these private schools, there is no excuse for lax security there either!

Instead of government asking of us to give up or modify our second amendment rights, we need to require more from our government. After all they are supposed to be working for us, not the other way around. “…The right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” so that the people have the ability to defend themselves, from a government that would oppress them.

It seems that people think that the second amendment has something to do with hunting. It doesn’t. It has everything to do with exactly what Liberals want; to first disarm, then oppress the people. The possession of these assault type weapons is simply an attempt by the people, to maintain some balance of power between ‘the people’ and a government that becomes too oppressive. This government of ours has grown to such an overblown bureaucracy that it has lost sight of its purpose, “A government by the people for the people”.

 

Devin Nunez House Intel

On January 29, 2018, the House Intelligence Committee approved the release of a long anticipated memo, summarizing the activities of the F.B.I. and the D.O.J. during the campaign and election cycle of 2016.

The Democrats have been fighting tooth and nail to obstruct this release for several months, and one can’t help but to assume the memo contains a litany of what may amount to criminal activities by corrupt individuals in both departments, and the Executive Branch, to tear down the very fabric of our democracy.

If one can reflect, for a moment, on the events that occurred during the Obama administration, it is not very difficult to make that assumption. Failures in the D.O.J., the Executive Branch, and at the State Department, led to not only loss of life, but the trust of the American people as well.

Let’s review. There is:

  1. Eric Holder’s failed “fast and furious” covert operation.
  2. The disastrous actions by our government to support the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, creating a false narrative of embezzlement and murder (but later he was cleared of the charges), all in order to justify supplying arms and logistical support to The Muslim Brotherhood that took control of the Egyptian government, and then became major sponsor of the terrorist group ISIS.
  3. The retreat from Iraq and Afghanistan, allowing the terrorist organization to fester, also leading to a bunch of airline hijackings and disappearances, to which the group claimed responsibility.
  4. The strict guidelines placed on our troops restricting the rules of engagement, leading to more unnecessary American troop casualties.
  5. The inaction to assist the Ukrainian government when Putin sent troops to suppress the democracy there.
  6. The ousting of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya which led to the failures in Benghazi. Basically this is the complete collapse, corruption, and failure of the State Department under Hillary Clinton’s tutelage during her tenure.
  7. What about the explosion of the nation’s debt? How else do you suppose the economy was able to float along at nearly zero G.D.P. for eight years? Somehow the Obama Administration managed to borrow and spend   11 trillion dollars, pump it into the economy through government programs, and keep anyone from becoming suspicious. The failed trade policies with China weren’t any help in that regard either.

Now we are finding out about “Uranium One” and the relaxed policy regarding Hezbollah drug trafficking, and “the Pelican Project”, Fusion GPS and it’s fake dossier, Comey and Lynch collusion, and the messaging between Strzok, Page and McCabe at the F.B.I.?

So it’s not too hard to make the assumption that there was some wrongdoing going on in the D.O.J.  President Obama is directly tied to all of this, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. The President is briefed daily about the activities of all the departments, and in most cases, must approve, or disapprove of those activities. Not only was he aware, but was complicit in the actions, or inaction at the D.O.J., and at the State Department.

If this memo indicates that there was unlawful unmasking of members of the Trump campaign through the use of a document created, paid for, then deemed classified, by political party opposition, to obtain F.I.S.A. warrants as well as attempts to subvert the election by prematurely exonerating Hillary Clinton, and corrupting the F.B.I. investigation into hers and others illegal activities, then you can be assured that President Obama was in it up to his eyeballs.

In addition, if this is the case, it completely discredits the Mueller probe, and warrants the need for a new, impartial investigation into not only top ranking officials at the F.B.I., but also the D.O.J. and Loretta Lynch, the Clinton’s, and the former President as well. This cuts to the heart of what president Trump refers to as “The Swamp”. This stuff makes “Watergate” look like a runaway at a lemonade stand! Only when these prominent figures are brought to account, can Americans truly have faith in government.
