It's become more and more evident with each passing day that our government, the one we Constitutionally installed in 1789, is no longer in charge of the country. Someone else is.
Can you imagine an Attorney General, a FBI, a Justice Department all willing to tell the President to go to hell? Can you imagine a government employee insisting that she has the right to a particular job, even when the President replaces her? Can you imagine a Senate or House leader who reuses to attend an important meeting with the President. Can you imagine someone mishandling classified information, selling off 20% of our uranium supply to our enemy, accepting $149 million in bribes... and getting totally away with it? Can you imagine an Attorney General being held in contempt of Congress and nothing happens? Can you imagine a national population sending a clear message to its Congress that it has had enough and Congress ignores it?
Does it ever occur to you that those who say there is a "deep state" within our country are actually saying that there is an organization pulling all of the strings which has absolutely no connection to us or our government? If so, of whom does it consist, Mr. Soros?
You know, if you get Soros, Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, Reid, Lynch, McConnell, Ryan, Sessions, Comey, Mueller... all working together on the same team and the same agenda against us, that's pretty powerful, isn't it?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submiitted.
It's one thing that Al Franken has admitted his wrongdoings, nevertheless, he's essentially said, "I'm sorry, but I'm staying on my job and if you have a problem with it, T.S." Then you have John Conyers who admits nothing, but says he'll temporarily step down as Chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee while they "investigate," which means that's not going anywhere.
But, step back a minute and take a look at a bigger picture. The majority of the House and the Senate had to create legislation that included a budget set-aside for a slush fund which they could use to buy off employees who might file sexual harassment charges, meaning they all expected to be able to screw around at our expense.
New, step back some more and take a look at the whole big picture. You've got the Democrats who have yet to allow one Member to vote for any one thing the Republicans have proposed. You've got the Republicans bound and determined to ensure that Trump cannot win in 2020, so they're doing everything they can to keep him from accomplishing anything. The whole bunch of them are collectively determined that they do not work for us and that they can do anything they want, whether we like it or not.
Every damned Member of Congress is being bought off and controlled by one lobbyist or another. They're all a bunch of hypocritical, corrupt, lying and evil souls, and I for one am getting sick and tired of butting up with their all of their relentless, unapologetic bullshit.

Here's something to make you regurgitate on during the Thanksgiving holiday: The IRS has admitted it illegally targeted Tea Party and similar conservative groups during the Obama years; the agency now expressly admits wrongdoing including screening applications for tax-exempt status based on applicant names or policy
positions, subjecting those applications to heightened scrutiny and
inordinate delays, and demanding of some information that
has been determined unnecessary to the agency’s determination of their
tax-exempt status.
The Department of Justice, even under the Trump Administration, has also states it will not review or investigate the case.
America has just been given THE BIRD by the very administration we elected to clean up this Washington mess.
Are they all corrupt... including Trump?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
It's hard to believe it, but it's been a year since we had the 2016 elections and virtually nothing has changed in Washington. We turned out a whole lot of both Democrats and Republicans and the remainders still haven't gotten the message. We have leaders in both Houses of Congress and in both parties who haven't don't one damned thing for this country in 25 or 30 years. If they're the leaders, what can we expect the rest to do?
Well, we're obviously not through yet. It's going to have to be another rout in 2018. The Democrats and the media would have us believe the Democrats are going to win back the House and the Senate because we're ticked off at the Republicans; the Republicans would have us believe that they're going to gain super-majorities in both Houses of Congress because the Democrats are being downright obstructionists. The truth here is that they are both right... and they're all going to get the boot.
We need fresh blood in Washington... men and women who are not willing to sell out their country and their souls for their own political power. We got rid of a third of them in 2016; let's get another third in 2018. Take no prisoners. Throw them out and bury them in their own stupidity.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
One of the major problems that the Democrats having been fighting tooth and nail is the effect of voter fraud. Yes, there has been rampant voter fraud; you know it, I know it and even the Russians know it. But, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Democrats have been adamantly against even the requirement of valid identification at the polls.
You may think we have until 2020 to get our acts together on this issue, but if just two or three Senatorial seats can be switched from Republican to Democrat in 2018, that will greatly alter the balance of power within Congress, thereby affecting everything coming out of Washington government.
The Supreme Court will soon hear arguments as to whether or not states have the right to clean up their own registration rolls. At issue is the number of dead people still on election rolls, the number of people registered in two or more states because they've moved, the number of people registered two or three times and similar problems which muddy the integrity of our election systems.
Our country is being infiltrated by thousands of illegals and other non-citizens who have no right to vote in our elections. Yet, evidence seems to suggest that many of them have, in fact, already voted in one or more elections. It is patently unfair and unconstitutional; it is also clear that, unless we scream bloody murder from the tops of our lungs, nothing is going to get done about it.

Mitch McConnell professes to be an American and he pretends to be a Republican. He is neither.
McConnell has been doing everything he can, both openly and surreptitiously, to sabotage and undermine Trump's Presidency. He has, for example, collaborated with Paul Ryan and other members of the Washington Establishment to sink Trump's plans for ditching ObamaCare, just as they are now working to torpedo any meaningful tax reform. They don't seem to give a damn what the American people want, as signified by their votes last November.
Now, the jackass from Kentucky has announced that Judge Roy Moore from Alabama is guilty of sexual misconduct which allegedly occurred 40 years ago, although no accusations were ever made, no charges were ever filed and no trial has ever been held.
How un-American can you get?
In the same breath, Republicans of the same ilk are saying that Luther Strange should be Alabama's Senatorial nominee, although he lost in the runoffs. They and their friends should pack their bags and go shack up with Hillary Clinton and her corrupt miscreant hussies.
Or, maybe it's time we Americans had another belligerent uprising?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
One of the questions we always ask each other when we're sitting around in a real conversation, especially now since none of us are watching NFL games anymore, is: "What is happening to our country, and when did it start?" Then you hear, "When the liberals invaded U.C. Berkeley," "When Reagan left office," and "With the invention of television." After some jawboning over those possibilities, someone invariably comes up with, "When we got rid of the draft."
You know, when you really analyze the way things were back in the days when we had patriotism in this country, and the way they are now, I think getting rid of the draft is when it all started. Up to that point, every male 18 and over was eligible to be drafted into the U.S. Army. There were some deferments, such as physical disabilities, and late in the game just before the draft was eliminated, they allowed an educational deferment if you were going to college. But, by and large, every male had his name on a list and his name could be drawn by the local draft board and he'd be off to two years of mandatory U.S. Army duty. If you wanted to join the Marines, Navy, Coast Guard or Air Force for four years, you could do that but you had to do it before you got drafted.
Once you got into the military, you learned how to take orders, what the Uniform Code of Military Justice was all about, how to take apart a carbine and clean it, how to spit shine a pair of brogans, and what being an American was all about. Once out of the military, you had become a man who could be called upon again to serve if the country ever needed you... and you'd have experience. These days, young men without that experience don't know how to shine boots, don't know how to take orders, don't have the slightest idea of how to shoot a gun and they don't know what America is all about.
We should all be required to give two years of service to our country. All men and women, regardless of disability or educational status, should be required to give service to their country. That doesn't necessarily have to be in the military; it could be in the Peace Corps, for example. There are plenty of jobs people with disabilities can do to support the rest of the mission, unless they have a severe mental handicap in which case they can go to Washington and serve in Congress. And in the process, everyone learns a trade they can use when their required service is over.
Moreover, everyone learns what it is to be an American.

Imagine you are hunting and camping in the woods where state law prohibits the killing of wolves. Along comes a pack of wolves and begins attacking your 12-year-old son. Do you: (a) consult your hunting guidebook to see if it covers the situation; (b) drive down the trail to the nearest place where you can get a cell phone signal and call for instructions, (c) start shooting wolves?
The House of representatives passed a bill in July preventing the Veterans Affairs from using dogs for painful or stressful procedures in medical research, even when the animals are sedated. The VA argues that such research is necessary to advance care for our wounded warriors and proponents of the legislation insist such experiments are cruel.
Now, I have almost always had a dog for a pet. I have one now; he's a Schnauzer and the love of my life. It would be an upsetting decision for me to make, but if it came right down to it and such a procedure on my dog might lead to the cure of a life-threatening medical problem for humans, I'd certainly go for it. There are certain priorities in life, but human life is the second-highest; number one is God and the Divine Order of things.
As we learn more about our own existence, we certainly have to suspect that there may a higher order of life in the universe from whence we came, and that we have been visited by aliens over the centuries and that... yes, they've taken us aboard space ships and done experiments on us. If we couldn't dissect frogs or examine butterflies, how could we ever learn what makes life tick? How could we search for cancer cures?
In the same breath that these idiots tell us such experiments are cruel, most of them would not hesitate to abort human fetuses so they could sell the embryonic tissues for stem-cell research and the like.

He deserted his post in combat conditions. He had no intentions of returning. His sentence amounts to a slap in the face of those who went looking for him and total disregard for the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Every American and every man or woman who has served in the military should be mad as as hell.
It's this phony baloney, upside down world we live in that is why ISIS, Antifa, Al Qaeda, Mexican drug cartels and other murderous thugs are invading our country.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
This is our country, not theirs. Foreigners have absolutely no rights whatever to admission into this country under any circumstances. Period.
Furthermore, the authority to control who can come into this country rests solely with the president; not the Congress and not the courts. Federal courts that rule the president can or cannot do this or that with respect to immigration and visas lack jurisdiction... period. That means they cannot rule on the subject.
That being said, the situation in which we now find ourselves, that of having borders that are essentially open, lotteries for visas, legal protections for illegals and inability to control in any reasonable manner who comes and goes... is the fault of previous occupants of the White House and of courts which have ruled on the various aspects without the authority to do so.
Nobody should be allowed to enter this country for any reason if they are an enemy of the country, if they intend to do harm to the country or its citizens, if they do not have a means of supporting themselves and their families, if they have been convicted of a felony in another country or charged with such a felony when the charge is still pending. We have the right to deny admission into the country of any non-citizen for any reason, discriminatory or not. And no one who gains admission into the country, whether legal or not, gains any rights in this country until they become a citizen; they can be expelled at our will.
Unless and until the left-wing, liberal, politically correct woosies of the country can manage to amend our Constitution, that's the way it stands. Period.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
There may be hope for this nation after all.
A good indicator is the continuing plummet of TV ratings for the NFL. Professional football has been a national pastime for decades now; sports fans have been glued to their television sets on Monday and Thursday nights, as well as all day on Sundays from August to the end of January as long as long as I can remember. Colin Kaepernick and associates have changed all of that, and the longer the battle carries on, the worse their ratings become.
The fact that more and more people are tuning out those who show no respect for our National Anthem or our country is a good, positive sign for patriotism in America. Hopefully, as patriotism increases, we will come to some sense of national unity. Maybe them, we can cure this almost hopeless sickness that has infested us for far too long.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
