Susan Rice to Testify?

Congress wants Susan Rice to testify? What a joke. She’s the one who first appeared on television to tell the American people who the attack on the consulate in Benghazi was the result of an angry protest from a video. If you want to know when Susan Rice is lying, it happens every time her lips move. It is a complete waste of taxpayers’ money and time for Congress to ask her anything. She needs to be charged with treason or espionage and face real prison time before anyone will get anything substantial out of her.

If they do interview her they need to get her to at least purger herself. She held the position of advisor to the President Obama, and anyone who believes the B.S. story that Obama only heard about the whole Benghazi story on the news is an idiot.

Susan Rice’s job was to tell President Obama everything, all the time, whenever she knew it, period. He not only knew of the illegal wiretap on Trump Tower, I believe he ordered it. Any unmasking of names could only have been done by and from Obama’s direct orders.

The people in the federal government who serve under the President do not have autonomy, they work under the direction of the President of the United States.

 

Repeal the Health Care Tax, Already!

The recent debacle in Congress with regard to health care is so dysfunctional I can’t believe it. First of all, every Republican agreed that the health care tax, affectionately known as Obama care should be repealed. Why it needs to be replaced at the same time seems to be a self-induced paranoia based on the Republican Party’s level of intimidation by the Democrats in the narrative that they have no “alternate plan”. The fact of the matter is they don’t need one.

The entire premise of the A.C.A. is simply a government guarantee of payment to the insurance industry for carrying coverage to those who “can’t afford” health insurance. If the Congress and Senate repealed the A.C.A. right now, those who are currently covered under these insurers would still be insured for at least a year, because of their annual contracts. 

The healthcare industry would not fall flat on its face, as some would have you believe. The federal government gave billions to the insurance industry in the 2008 bailout. It’s time that the federal government stops being held hostage by the insurance industry.

Simply put, the A.C.A. could be repealed right now, with unanimous majority, and President Trump could execute the necessary mandates like tort reform, to reign in the insurance industry through executive action.

The Republican Party needs to man-up, and stop being intimidated by Democrats, after all, the Democrats have no apparent problem ignoring the wishes of the Republicans. That’s exactly how the A.C.A. got thrown in our faces. Remember? The entire bill was not read until AFTER it was passed!

Infrastructure Reform for USA Energy

Infrastructure reform for the USA energy supply begins with government prioritizing projects around the country, usually determined by some engineering study, performed by either a contracted official, or government personnel. One of the main concerns of late, is domestic or imported terrorism to the vital electrical grid. Just like rats, terrorists are attracted to some kind of bait. The more appealing the bait, the more they want to destroy it. We have to change the way we produce electricity. Nuclear power plants are too vulnerable, with all kinds of intricate systems to avoid catastrophic faults, by both man and nature.

Hydrogen is the energy source of the future. Ionization splits the hydrogen atom from the oxygen atom from water molecules. The process is already being applied in industry. As much as it pains me to say, the federal government can play a critical role in expanding both the availability and the use of hydrogen as a modern fuel. It starts small with federal regulation of, believe it or not, the fossil fuel industry. If federal regulation required all gas and diesel suppliers along the interstate system to provide a hydrogen fueling station, automakers, who already have developed vehicles powered by hydrogen, would begin to produce more as availability of the fuel grew. Even more importantly, these hydrogen vehicles are much cheaper to build than electric ones.

The energy footprint of these vehicles is comparable to an electric vehicle, but only because the technology for the ionization process has not yet become economical. As the technical achievement of this process becomes more feasible, the application of the hydrogen atom will become mainstay. Hydrogen can then be used on much greater scales, to produce electricity, hopefully eliminating the need for obsolete nuclear energy, and the catastrophic dangers that go along with it.

The next step to make the grid safer, is to bury the obtrusive electrical lines that run along almost every roadside in America. The primitive technology of cutting trees, and hanging the vulnerable lines on them desperately needs a modern solution. This overhead system has become a cash cow for the utility industry, keeping utility rates high needlessly. The expense to maintain these overhead lines far exceeds the expense to simply bury them.

The retroactive savings to our economy would be astronomical, as there would no longer be weather related outages. The timber used for power poles could then be used for home building or other construction, lowering the cost of these materials to consumers. Many modern housing developments offer underground utilities to attract buyers, however, the service to these developments still runs on wooden poles, suspended and vulnerable to the weather.

If we are to make America great again we should at least be smart about it.

Liberal Protesters

These brainwashed protesting rioters are perfectly suited to become servants of “The New World Order,” a society dreamed up by elite progressives. This order would do away with the constitution completely, in fact, it cannot exist under a constitution. It is a socialist ideology where one of the current wealthy elites would rule over a world society, someone like George Soros or Hillary Clinton. One centralized government, where the populus would basically work as servants to pay for its operation. What do you think the Clinton’s Global Initiative means? Reverse the spelling and you have initiate globalization. This is sad, and I think a dysfunctional educational system is mostly to blame.

Years of union run education have deprived our children of the ability to think outside the realm of what is expected of them. Simply put, unions are a form of socialism, and their infectious influence festers into the minds of those whom they have a hold on. In layman’s terms, a union is a centralized entity which operates on a portion of the salaries of those who are members of that union. The union decides what salaries and conditions are best for the workers, then demands them from those who would employ the workers. The downside being that the operational or management expenses of the union often become intrusive to the salaries of those it is intended to serve.

The workers become complacent, and their productivity, or in this case the teacher’s performance drops. It is an eventual inevitability of the system. At one time, unions were necessary to protect the rights of workers, now they are obsolete, government  has instituted laws and regulations that perform the task of worker’s rights. The teachers unions should be abolished, and a comprehensive curriculum guideline should be established by the Department of Education, one that is historically inclusive, not selective. One that punishes teachers that have an agenda contrary to the United States constitution, or deliberately teaches socialist propaganda to our youth.

I think Betsy Devos may have an uphill battle on this front, but if something isn’t done to reverse the decades of complacency in the union run education system, our country’s youth will become nothing more than a bunch of lab rats for another failed social experiment for the history books.

Democratic Party Hypocrisy

I simply can’t believe the blatant hypocrisy from the Democrats. They do it without blinking an eye. After several months of probably the most contentious election cycle in history, in which several instances of deception and betrayal were committed by Hillary Clinton; there was an absolute denial of any possible influence by foreign governments, even though the Clinton’s clearly accepted foreign donations to their non-profit.

How quickly the Democrats want to launch an investigation into some phone conversation by General Flynn to the Russian Ambassador. The Democrats are even trying to tie this to the President, asking when and what he might have known about this. I don’t remember any of these same Democrats asking the what and when about President Obama with regard to Hillary Clinton’s suspicious activity.

The really disturbing thing is, that four American servicemen lost their lives in Benghazi, on her watch, and the what and when was never brought up. Furthermore, Flynn had the decency and integrity to step down. That thought never even entered Clinton’s criminal mind.

Watching Elizia Cumming’s determination to launch an investigation into the matter regarding General Flynn, in stark contrast to his determination to defend Hillary Clinton’s criminal activities, is reprehensible. This hypocrite needs to be voted out as soon as possible, he is obviously serving his own agenda, not those of the American people.

The desperate attempts to both demonize Russia, and tie Donald Trump to that narrative, by the Democratic party, is astounding. Why is there such a lack of this doggedness when it comes to national security regarding refugee infiltration by Islamic terrorists? Even if Russia had directly influenced the election, through some kind of voter machine hack, which NEVER happened, why this concerted effort to demonize them?

Yes, they are bad actors on the world stage, guilty of human atrocities, but so is Iran, and the Obama administration was willing to cut a deal with them! Does Putin have public appearances where he shouts “death to America?” I think not. This is pure hypocritical propaganda from the now hijacked left leaning Democratic party.

If the Democrats ever intend to be competitive in future elections in this country, they need to rid their party of this pestilence that has infected them. The liberal left has but a small minority vote of brainwashed idiots, and doesn’t represent true Democratic values, or democracy itself.

Chris Wallace’s Interrogation of Kellyanne Conway

I was witness to another textbook interrogation (interview) of a conservative by a liberal journalist, with the questions asked of Kellyanne Conway on Sunday’s broadcast by Chris Wallace.

The shameless bullying of a female on the receiving end of the questioning was despicable. I thought Kellyanne handled it fairly well, considering the obscure nature of questions being asked. The typical  liberal line of rhetorical questions about what the president intends to do. What happens if a trade war starts (purely speculative). The random questions fired in rapid succession before an adequate response can be made bordered on verbal abuse.

This type of journalism has no place in our society, it was offensive and nonproductive, and I was left wondering what the point of the interview really was. Was it to discredit Kellyanne Conway? Or was there some other sensible argument.

It seemed to me that most of the questions could only be properly answered by the President. Why Wallace decided it was a good idea to berate Kellyanne Conway on national television is just another example of the misguided liberal agenda.  The “tolerance” is underwhelming.

Media Madness – Fake News

In my opinion, when the media causes hysteria in the general public by spreading propaganda, the 1st amendment should not apply. The shameful, intentional misleading news stories from some of these networks, in some cases, is getting people hurt and hurting the bottom line of the businesses that are affected by the riots that ensue from the false narrative.

The most recent propaganda was aimed at the airports, disrupting air travel and causing national security concerns. It was reported that all muslims were being detained at airports in N.Y. and other states as well as their departures from the Middle East. What was not reported, intentionally, was that out of 325,000 travelers, about 300 were originally detained because their immigration status was not verified at the start. Out of the 300 or so, verification allowed about 200 to continue on their way. A total of 109 people have been temporarily detained. This amounts to about 1/30th of 1%, however, these treasonist news agencies would have people believe that all muslims are being detained and persecuted for their faith.

These fake news stories are aimed with one purpose in mind, civil disruption, and chaos. Is it not the primary job of the president to protect all Americans from enemies, both foreign and domestic? Wouldn’t this type of intentionally caused civil disruption, property damage, and in some cases bodily harm be considered an enemy of society? 

The 1st amendment should have some boundaries when things get this out of hand.  After all, it is not free speech and against the law to yell ‘fire’ in a movie theater. Those responsible for these false stories with important, relevant facts edited for the sole purpose to mislead and cause havoc in society, need to be removed from these organizations, and charged with treason.

Maybe if the laws of this country were actually enforced for a change, society could return to normal. Bringing these treasonists to justice would send a clear message to these media outlets to stop the false and misleading news and they could get back to what their job is, to accurately inform the American people of national and world events. It used to be, that you listened or watched the news to find out what was really happening at The White House. Now, you have to watch and listen to what’s happening in The White House, to find out the truth about the news.

The truth is, that the proverbial “cat is out of the bag” when it comes to attempting to push the liberal agenda these fake news feeds have adopted. In order to convince the public that the liberal ideal has any integrity, the liberal media resorts to propaganda and fake news.

Pipeline Executive Orders

I am all in favor of energy independence, but very little attention by the “mainstream media” is being placed on the concerns  of the Native American people that reside in areas where the proposed pipeline is to be located.

This situation is reminiscent of the treatment of Native Americans when America was first settled (invaded) by white men. In my opinion, I don’t care if the pipeline has to be detoured a thousand miles, if it is going to have a negative impact on the regional native people, it must be relocated, period!

Unless the Native Americans have another solution that accommodates their wishes, there is no other equitable solution. Donald Trump, surely has the wisdom to recognize this situation. To not do so, would be a travesty, and even myself as a supporter would lose respect for him. I hope he does the right thing here.

Secretary of Education Confirmation

Every single Democrat has asked for a different standard of confirmation for Betsy Devos than that of those confirmed during previous confirmation hearings.  The difference between the questions being asked by Republican representatives and the Democrats is so stark it has been hard to watch. While most Republicans ask pertinent questions about school choices or how she would follow the laws of the federal government, Democrats like Bernie Sanders (and I use the term Democrat loosely in his case) asked if college education should be free to everyone and Ms. Devos replied “nothing is really free,’ Sanders went into his usual rant, that millionaires and billionaires would pay for it. He then asked if her contributing to the Republican party made it possible for her nomination. She responded, “I don’t think it mattered.”

Al Franken had the audacity to ask if Devos believed in conversion therapy. At first Devos was so stunned, but she finally responded that all children have the right to a good education regardless of race, gender or economic status. The Democrat from Colorado tried to use the standards of education from Detroit to tarnish Devos’ record of accomplishment, Devos being from Michigan, implying that those standards applied to the state as a whole.

The Democratic senator from Connecticut asked if guns should be allowed in schools. Devos replied “in the case of the school in Montana with the Grizzly Bear fence around it, probably so.” This clearly being a guideline determined by federal and state law, not a matter for Education Secretary to decide.

The Republican from Louisiana asked every relevant question for the secretary’s position. It was articulated in a yes or no forum, several questions were asked and answered with complete clarity of the nominee’s requirements to fill the position. This manner of irrelevant questioning clearly shows Americans, that the Democratic party has gone completely off the rails, with their intent being to put Devos in an interrogation room under a bright light and question her for hours as if she were a murderer being questioned at the police station, asking everything from what day she was born to what her sexual preferences are,  or maybe, what her grandfather bought her for Christmas in 1993.

I have to commend Lamar Alexander, the committee chair, and Republican from Tennessee, for attempting to keep the hearing focused on the relevant issues at hand, and not allowing these discontented Democrats from allowing their disappointment in Trump’s victory cloud the process of selecting the new Secretary of Education.

The theme has been the same for all Trump’s selections for confirmation. These obstructionist Democrats that were perfectly content with the process for Democratic nominees in previous hearings, are somehow extremely dissatisfied with the same process for a Republican nominee. People in the districts where these Democrats are supposed to be representing, need to pay close attention to this self-serving determination by these individuals to forward their own agenda, not necessarily that of their constituents. An agenda they have been pressured to adopt to forward the cause and ideology of the outgoing president.

I truly feel this ideology will be the demise of the  Democratic party. The Liberals have hijacked the party and it no longer retains true American values.

Democrat Boycott

The only message that these Democratic defectors are sending, is that when it comes time for re-election, they need to be voted out of office. Any elected official that does not participate in this very special process to Inaugurate the incoming president, does not deserve to serve their district. They are, very simply put, placing their interests ahead of their constituents, who they have promised to serve.

Elected officials are by definition, public servants, and have taken an oath to be sworn in as such. If Republicans pulled this crap when Obama was to be sworn in, they would have been labeled as racists. These Democrats are demonstrating that they are un-american. They should step down and allow more honorable willing candidates to serve our country. Here is a list of those ungrateful, un-americans that don’t deserve the positions in government that they are serving in:

Anyone living in any of these districts and states where these representatives are from, should seriously reconsider your vote for any of these individuals when their terms are due. Frankly, immediate impeachment procedure of these congressmen and women should begin right after the inauguration.
