HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT TRUMP?

SPECIAL POST

There are those of us... just about all of us who are either Democrat or Republican... who are sick and tired of "politics as usual" in Washington.  We're tired of being treated like pissants and peasants.  We not only want our voices to be heard in Washington, we also want them to be respected.  So, it's no surprise that Donald Trump, an outsider, can come along and snatch the Republican nomination, simply by saying that he wants to "Make America Great Again," just like the good old days that we grew up in.  

There are also those of us who were brought up to respect the presidency.  In those days, the president treated his office with dignity and decorum.  The relationship between leaders and followers in this country was at a much higher level of mutual regard.  And we are the ones who do have some trouble with the "Trump-style" of lashing out and battering people... particularly those who disagree with him.     

Don't get me wrong; I'm no fan of Susana Martinez.  The way she treated the presumptive presidential nominee on his recent visit to Albuquerque was shabby at best and would be considered by most to be contemptuous.  Trump was entitled to take some umbrage over this, but there are many people who think he went overboard... way beyond the pale of presidential decorum.  

We had questions about this atypical behavior in the past, but he and his campaign assured us that once he sewed up the nomination, he would become more "presidential."  Now, we are asking ourselves if he is just like the rest of the politicians in this country... that he'll say or promise anything in order to get elected.  

Have we made a mistake here?  Are we really that dumb?  Or will this man who would be our president seize the opportunity now being entrusted to him by us... finally step up to the plate and start meeting our expectations?

BE AN AMERICAN THIS MEMORIAL DAY

LET US FORGET OUR MISTAKES OF THE PAST AND PRESS ON TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

ATTACKS ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM INCREASE

SPECIAL POST

Two significant events have just occurred: (1) some Democrat Senators are pushing a bill that would ensure religious exemptions cannot be applied to any health care service, including abortion and gender transition treatments.  (2) The city hall of Hiram, Georgia, removed 79 crosses from a local highway that are historically put up each year to honor local military personnel who lost their lives in service to their country, on the basis that no one could certify that each and every one of them was a Christian.  

To be fair in this report, the city council did allow those crosses to go back up after a huge public outcry.  

How long are we Christians and our churches in this country going to put up with this bullshit?

WAS U.S. MUSLIM MOSQUE BEHIND BOSTON BOMBING?

SPECIAL POST

That intriguing question is brought to light after a report on WND.COM surfaced yesterday.  According to the report, one Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, was under investigation one day after the April 15, 2013 attack. Department of Homeland Security officer Philip Haney had begun an investigation of the Islamic Society of Boston’s extensive ties to terrorism four years earlier.  Haney quickly determined that Alharbi, who was at the scene of the bombing, was an "armed and dangerous terrorist" who was about to be deported.  

When DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano was questioned about this information by a House Committee, Napolitano refused to answer, saying the question was “so full of misstatements and misapprehensions that it’s just not worthy of an answer.”  

Evidently, Napolitano was concerned that implicating that a Mosque was involved, or that a student of the same Mosque that the Tsarnarev brothers attended was involved, would be "politically sensitive."  

Since then, as we now know, it has come to light that an investigation into Muslim activities in San Bernardino was squelched just days before that massacre... on the same grounds.   

I smell treason at the highest levels of our government... treason that is being excused and swept under the rug on the grounds of "political correctness" about Muslims.

TARGET STEPS DEEPER INTO ITS PILE OF DUNG

SPECIAL POST

Back in 2013, Michael Turner saw Leon Walls stabbing a 16-year-old girl in a Target store in Pennsylvania.  Turner and friends intervened, during which time several of Turner's friends were cut or stabbed by Walls.  Turner grabbed a baseball bat and started swinging at Walls, who ran out of the store, was arrested and found guilty; he subsequently got off on a mental finding.  

Although witnesses and everyone involved have credited Turner with saving the girl's life, Target is suing Tuner on the basis that he acted in a manner that was unsafe and irresponsible.  And where was Target security when this all came down? 

The message is clear: if you're going to be a good Samaritan, don't do it in a Target Store.  Their management must all be in training for jobs in the U.S. Government.

OBAMA'S CRISIS MANAGEMENT

SPECIAL POST

"Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Saul Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit the rules altogether and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one. (Courtesy Discover the Networks.org)  

 

First, we had the economic crisis.  Obama didn't create that, but his cohorts in Congress set it in motion back in the early 2000s with their aggressive home loan policies and by hiding the fact of imminent financial collapse from the public month after month until the bubble eventually burst.  After taking office, Obama went on his infamous "worldwide apology tour" and got Americans so angry they almost forgot about the economic collapse.  

 

That was followed by Obama's plan to require military vets to pay for their own war injuries, a fact he later tried to spin by saying that military vets had to have private insurance to cover they non-war-related illnesses and injuries, so the plan was to bill those companies for the V.A. treatment of war wounds.  He argued the plan wouldn't cost the vet a dime but would save the government hundreds of millions of dollars.  He neglected to mention that insurance companies would undoubtedly raise their premium rates.   

This was all followed by the healthcare crisis, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS tax scandal, the national security crisis, the Nevada BLM task force... on and on and on; it was a never-ending string of crises happening, each one manufactured specifically to get the public's mind off the previous one and to keep the Congress totally off balance.  

 

The most recent events in this parade are, in order, the rise of ISIS, the Iranian nuclear "deal," worldwide terrorist attacks, Russian invasion of the Ukraine,  the South China Sea, the threatening midget in North Korea and... transgender bathrooms.    

One only has to guess what's next: a nationwide noise abatement law that prohibits the firing of guns?  A declaration that illegals can vote for federal offices, including the presidency?  A declaration that Islam is now the national religion of the United States?  

Whatever it is, it will occur within a week or two, and Americans will predictably fall for it again and again, each time allowing Obama to get his way on the prior issues.

CHINA WAVES WAR FLAG

With all of the news breaking yesterday about Egypt Airlines, the shooting at the White House, Clinton calling Trump "unqualified" to be in the White House and the NRA endorsement of Trump for president, this  more ominous bit of news almost got lost in the shuffle: China is warning the U.S. to "stand down" its military presence in the South China Sea or to risk war.   

"The Chinese people do not want to have war, so we will be opposed to the U.S. if it stirs up any conflict," said Liu Zhenmin, vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They go on to say they are ready to engage in a repeat of the Korean or the Vietnamese War if they have to. 

The Spratly Islands are coral reefs in international waters of the South China Sea; China has been claiming sovereign ownership of the entire South China Sea for decades and has been consistently overruled by the United Nations.  Now, China has been building the islands up with the addition of sand and has turned at least one of them into an armed fortress with a military air base.  China has recently reasserted its claim to 1.4 million square miles of the area, to which the United States and other nations object.  The sea is a vital trading route between the Philippines, Japan and Malaysia and is of strategic military value.  

China has the largest standing army in the world - more than two million soldiers - and it has been building up its naval and air capability in recent years, while the U.S. military has been virtually decimated under the Obama regime.  

Sorry to bother you on the golf course, Mr. President, but what's your next move... a campaign trip to Vegas?

GAY RIGHTS HAVE GONE TOO FAR

SPECIAL POST

Let me be clear: I don't have anything more against gays than I do any other segment of our society.  But, this country was built on liberty, equality, fairness and justice for all.  When any segment of our society gets away with pushing its agenda to the extent that it infringes upon the liberty, equality, fairness and justice of others... there I draw the line.  

The LGBT agenda seeks to wipe out my religious beliefs and my sense of values.  It seeks to scrape away any sense of dignity or  self-esteem that any heterosexual has.  

When the LGBT agenda gains the upper hand and is able to dictate who I can or cannot bake a cake for or under what circumstances I can go to the bathroom... I take avid and livid exception.  And frankly, I don't give a damn whether they like it or not.

AMERICANS CAN BE PROUD OF THEMSELVES

SPECIAL POST

They stood fast through threats, cajoling, lies, spins... even talk-downs from the Romneys, Kristols and Grahams of the world... and they wrestled control of the Republican Party back from the elitist establishment that has threatened the very roots of American democracy over and over and over again.  

And they proved that they can pull together, they can stand strong in the face of adversity and they can succeed in taking back our country from the negative forces that have been camping out on the steps of our nation's capitol for at least 24 years.  

But they understand they cannot let their guards down.  The lesson that it's WE the people who control this government has not yet been driven entirely home; we have a long way to go.  But, it's a start... a good start... and we need to be proud of ourselves and to pat ourselves on the back; we certainly know that the Clintons, the Obamas, the Warrens, the Pelosis, the Reids, the Grahams, the Romneys of the country will be the last ones on the face of the earth to do it.

IRAN: ANOTHER OBAMA COVERUP

SPECIAL POST

Never mind that White House aide Ben Rhodes is now refusing to testify before Congress over Obama's manipulation of the press and American opinion leading up to the Iranian nuclear "deal."  Never mind that North Korea and Iran have been collaborating on nuclear and missile technologies in violation of U.N. sanctions and that we're not doing anything about it.  Never mind that Kerry and associates have been downplaying Iranian "game playing" regarding disclosure of its pre-deal military activities.  

A recent report has a senior Iranian missile commander saying that the U.S. has told Iran not to disclose its missile tests, allegedly so that the local region won't be "distressed."  According to BREITBART.COM, "Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace and Missile Force, said in an address to students in Qom on May 14 that the Obama administration is anxious that the missile tests remain clandestine so as not to raise questions about whether Iran is adhering to the nuclear deal."  

We are being lied to.  We are being manipulated.  The press and media, by refusing to investigate and report, are complicit.  We are the losers and radical Islam is the winner... all under the direct control and guidance of America's traitor-in-chief, Barack Hussein Obama.

9TH CIRCUIT COURT STUNS GUN OWNERS

SPECIAL POST

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that gun shops have the same rights to bear arms under the 2nd Amendment as individuals do.  Three men were trying to open a gun shop in Alameda County, California and were denied because the proposed store was within 500 feet of a residential area.  The Court ruled the ordinance did involve the Second Amendment because the right to purchase and sell arms is "part and parcel of the historically recognized right to keep and to bear arms." The county, therefore, has to present evidence to justify the restriction and can't simply assert that gun stores increase crime."  

Coming from the predominantly liberal 9th Circuit, this ruling is stunning.  Maybe there is hope for the county yet.

THE ULTIMATE ABASEMENT

SPECIAL POST

Seeking to install the final chapter in his plan to "change America," Barack Hussein Obama has reached into the bottom of the gutter of slime and extracted a new, illegal and unconstitutional proclamation that lays down the rules of who you can go to the bathroom with.  In doing so, he has transgressed every possible definition of civility and decorum and he has plunged his knife of oppression straight into the very heart of American society and culture.  

He deserves to be impeached, lose whatever citizenship he has and run out of the country.

THE DEMOCRATS CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL

By way of only a partially enumeration:  Fast and Furious; the IRS scandal and coverup; Benghazi; the V.A. scandal and coverup; the Great Iranian "Deal;"  the unconstitutional abuses of Executive Power; the flat refusal to provide Obama's college transcripts... 

And now, they have the unmitigated gall to demand... DEMAND... Trump's tax returns? 

The Democrats are the real evildoers in this country and they need to go straight back to hell, from whence they came.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  
 

ABOUT TRUMP'S TAX RETURNS

SPECIAL POST

It is interesting to note that the same people who are bearing their fangs over Donald Trump's refusal to release his tax returns are the same ones who stubbornly insisted that Barack Hussein Obama did not have to release his college transcripts or to provide a legitimate birth certificate.  

To hell with all of you and your totalitarian, one-sided ways.

FACEBOOK: JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG

SPECIAL POST

The recent disclosure that Facebook has been withholding news with conservative viewpoints or about conservative subjects is just the tip of the iceberg.  Virtually every modern source of news in this country is either slanting news toward a liberal bias, refusing to report conservative news or generating its own news content according it its own agenda.  

As Spock would say... "Trust no one."  Independently verify everything you are told or read.  

Yes... we are being oppressed.  If one liberal shows up at a protest, it's 100,000.  If 100,000 show up at a conservative protest,  it's one.  

Be aware.

TAKE YOUR BATHROOM AGENDA AND SHOVE IT

The left-wing liberal progressives are undermining every facet of decency in America.  Now, they're telling you who you have to go to the bathroom with.  Pretty soon, they'll legalize the sale of fetus body parts, and the next thing you know, they're going to want your guns.

U.S. MILITARY: WE ARE AT SERIOUS RISK

SPECIAL POST

The ARMY TIMES is reporting that U.S. troop strength is at its lowest level since 1940.  Under a draw-down plan unveiled last July, the number of active-duty soldiers would be reduced to 460,000 soldiers by the end of fiscal year 2017 and 450,000 by the end of fiscal year 2018, barring action by Congress or the Pentagon.  The Army says its draw-down plan is required due to budget cuts under the Obama Administration.  

In the interim, Russia, China, North Korea and Iran have been drastically increasing their military strengths.  The Russians, for example, now have a larger nuclear stockpile than the United States.  

I fear we are being deliberately put at risk.

TRUMP HASN'T WON THE NOMINATION YET

SPECIAL POST

It may well be that everyone has dropped out of the race for the Republication presidential nomination except Donald Trump, but that doesn't mean that the nomination is "in the bag" for Trump.  According to the rules, he still has to have 1,237 delegates going into the Cleveland convention.  

That means he still has a lot of campaigning to do.  

That also means people still have to turn out and vote in the remaining states.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

UP WHOSE?

Hey there Ryan, Romney, the Bushes... and all of your deadbeat establishment cronies: 

THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF COMING TO TOWN!

You'd better be saddling up and getting ready to high-tail it out of Washington, because we American townsfolk smell blood and we sure as hell want our country back. 

IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION, YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! 

For years now, you've been saying "Up yours," to Americans and you've been getting away with it.   We handed you the House and you failed us.  We handed you the Senate and you failed us.  Now, we're going to hand it to someone else and if you're smart, you'll start packing up and get the hell out of the way.  

Now, it's time for US to say "Up yours," to YOU! 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

LAMEBRAINS

SPECIAL POST

The "establishment" never ceases to amaze me with its totally incomprehensible imbecility.  Convinced that Donald Trump is the enemy and that American Republicans are incapable dolts, they consistently and relentlessly pulled out all of the stops in an effort to derail the Trump candidacy.  They threatened, they cajoled and they plotted.  

Nevertheless, Trump ends up in the drivers seat.  Anyone in his right mind should get that message.  

So, Ryan, Romney, the Bushes... the establishment leaders... are now commiserating that they will not endorse Trump nor will they support him in his coming battle with the "Witch Lady."  Far from it... some of "establishment" has gone so far as to suggest they won't vote at all... or even that they might vote for the "Witch Lady."  They'd rather shoot themselves and their Party in the foot. 

They cannot seem to grasp that this is, in fact, an American Movement and they are the enemy.  We're sick and tired of their bullshit.  None of their self-pity, none of their whining, none of their threats scare us anymore.  

We ARE taking back our country and THEY are in the way.  If they want to stay in politics, they'd damned well better change their antisocial lives.

ANOTHER STUPID "RED LINE?"

SPECIAL POST

Secretary of State John Kerry has drawn another line in the infamous Syrian sand: he's told the Syrians that they'd better find a way to get Assad out of power by August or risk the consequences.  

Assad and his henchmen are probably rolling around the floors in laughter, sipping Russian vodka and shuddering in fear.

TRUMP MAY SOUNDLY DEFEAT CLINTON

SPECIAL POST

Of course, we know by now that more and more Republicans are turning out this election cycle than ever before.  A huge number of independents are also saying they like Trump.  To my surprise, one of the things the pollsters learned during yesterday's Indiana primary was that Sanders supporters to a large degree are saying that if Sanders doesn't win the nomination they will vote for Trump before they will vote for Hillary.  

Sorry, Mr. Romney, but this election could already be a "done deal."  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

NO CHOICE: SEND THE ILLEGALS BACK

SPECIAL POST

They are flooding our streets in protest, demanding rights and telling us how to run our country.  They are raping, killing, stealing... and when they don't get their own way, they are rioting.  That IS what happened in Costa Mesa, you know... although the media didn't report it as a riot.  But, when you start trashing a cop car and throwing things, it's no longer a protest; it's a riot.  

There have been over 200 murders recently in this country that are directly attributable to illegal aliens who were released from incarceration.  There's plenty of evidence to support my position that Mexicans are taking training in I.S.I.S. camps in Mexico and coming across our border illegally.  How does that sit with you?  

And what is Obama doing about it?  A recent analysis shows that resources directed at containing the border have gone up by 25%, but that actual arrests and detentions have gone down by 40%.  

They are straining state and local budgets.  They're getting more in government benefits than our own poor people.  And even though we don't want them here, we're paying for it dearly.  Just ask the family of Kate Steinle.  

I welcome legal immigration to this country, but the illegals need to scurry back across the border before the stuff hits the fan.

OBAMA'S NEW NATIONAL POLICE FORCE

SPECIAL POST

Obama said early on in his presidency that he wanted to reduce the size and strength of the U.S. military and to create a national police force. Of course, that met with immediate and strong resistance because... Hitler did that.  

Obama has now quietly set about getting individual state and local police forces under one federal umbrella.  It was announced more than a week ago that 53 police departments around the country have signed on to the White House-created Police Data Initiative, supposedly a plan by President Obama to make crime-fighting more technology-driven and accountable to higher-ups.  Most observers see it as a not-so-subtle federal takeover of community policing.  

Critics point out that it is little more than a federalization of local police because it puts the White House at the helm of deciding such matters as cameras on cop uniforms and whether or not local jurisdictions accept equipment from the military.  They also say the data that’s being gathered at the local levels will lead to a massive federal database, overseen by federal authorities, who will then decide whether the individual police department is pursuing crime-fighting techniques in a manner that doesn’t discriminate against minorities.  

Just because Americans are glued to their TV sets and Internet over politics doesn't mean that Obama has ceased his Marxist anti-American activities.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
