WHAT A HORRIBLE CHRISTMAS THIS WILL BE

I wonder how Kate Steinle's family feels now that her murderer got off scot-free in San Francisco?  And, isn't it great that we in California now live in a sanctuary state?  I think that makes us all complicit in her death and in his innocent verdict, because none of us in California is standing up and doing anything about it.  Merry Christmas, everybody... enjoy your inner peace what we have all become.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

PARDON ME, BUT I AM GOING TO REPEAT MYSELF

I am beyond angry.  I am beyond disgusted.  

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was found not guilty last week by liberal left-wing zealots in the death of Kate Steinle. 

The scales of justice no longer exist.  Our way of life and our Constitution have been successfully usurped.   

May God damn San Francisco and everyone in it.  May they all rot in hell. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.   

 

SAN FRANCISCANS SHOULD ALL BE HUNG AT MIDNIGHT

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was found not guilty yesterday in the death of Kate Steinle.    What else could we expect out of a city that declares itself to be a "sanctuary" that allows scum like Zarate to run free?  

I hope they all can rationalize themselves into being "not guilty" as well.  Somehow, I don't think a damned one of them can get past the pearly gates. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

OUR OTHER GOVERNMENT

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.  

CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS ARE ALL PUTRID

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.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

NOT A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING

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.  

2018: ANOTHER AMERICAN REVOLUTION

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. 

WILL YOUR VOTE COUNT IN 2018?

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.   

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

 

MCCONNELL: AMERICA'S MALEVOLENT SNAKE-IN-THE-GRASS

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. 

IT'S TIME TO BRING BACK THE DRAFT

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.   

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

THIS WEEKEND AND FOREVER...

SAY GOODBYE TO THE NFL

BEYOND ABSURDITY

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.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

BERGDAHL'S SENTENCE IS A DAMNED JOKE

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. 

POLITICALLY CORRECT OR NOT...

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.  

GOD BLESS AMERICA

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.  

WE MUST RISE TO THE OCCASION

The stench that permeates Washington... the corrupt culture that exists there... it's all so disgusting that even curdled milk is curdling.  What is even more scary is that Washington corruption has been the norm for at least 25 or 30 years; if we think for one minute that Obama, or Clinton just invented it all recently, we're sadly mistaken.  

There's a lesson to be had for us: If we bury our heads in the sand and pretend that we don't have to do anything to protect ourselves from those who would subvert our government to their own uses, we're deceiving ourselves.   If we want to keep our government, our freedoms, our way of life... then we have to be vigilant and we have to raise holy hell when things go wrong.  We certainly can no longer trust our media to sound the alarm, can we?  

I've been calling it a culture for years now, and that is what it has become.  Ir order for us to purge ourselves of this "swamp," we are going to have to remove every last one of the bastards from office in 2018, regardless of party.  That's the only way we can successfully weed the garden and and once again kindle the seeds of democracy.  

It is up to us, and we must surely rise to the occasion. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

ARE WE ALREADY UNDER COMMUNISM?

Some 54 years after the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, documents relating to that tragedy are still being kept secret from American citizens.  They are quick to say, "There's no conspiracy and no reason for concern."  Why then, are they hiding this from us 54 years after the fact?  

Oh, yes... They're releasing 2,800 records now.  The other 30,000 are going to have to wait; how long is anybody's guess.  And what they are releasing appears to be heavily redacted.  

They insist that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, so that stance would automatically rule out the participation of any foreign country.  If he did act alone, it seems to me that would also rule out any American politician or organization... including the mafia.  So, just what is the big secret?    After 54 years, we certainly have the right to know.  

We are also entitled to know about Benghazi, Fast & Furious and a dozen other things that have come along the pike in the interim.  My philosophy is that if something has to be kept secret, there's something bad involved.  

Maybe Kennedy was a transvestite?  

We need to put an end to this.  This is America, WE run the government and we're being treated like peasants.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.   

JUST WHAT IN HELL IS GOING ON?

Investigative reports put forth by Lou Dobbs of FOX BUSINESS NEWS and Judicial Watch reveal that the State Department is refusing, even to this day, to turn over some 72,000 Clinton emails ordered released by a Federal Court over two years ago.  In the meanwhile, an FBI informant who was working on the Clinton-Russia investigation, among other things, and who discovered far-reaching evidence that he wanted to turn over to Congress, was prevented from doing so by an employment clause; Congress now seeks the Jeff Sessions Justice Department to lift that gag order so that the agent can testify, but our Attorney General has thus far refused to comply.  Finally, although the FBI had flatly stated there was no information on the infamous Bill Clinton-Loretta Lynch meeting on a Phoenix airport tarmac and although it now admits that such records do in fact exist, it is also thus far refusing to turn those records over.  

According to these reports, both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have actively participated in blocking such information from public scrutiny.  

Somebody needs to sue the government and the Supreme Court needs to hear the case...now.  It may even be necessary for the President to declare a state of national emergency until this is all investigated and sorted out. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

WHERE ARE THE PATRIOTS?

We all knew when we elected Trump that we were sick and tired of "business as usual" in Washington.  Certainly, under the Obama regime, we saw "business as usual"  become "corruption as usual" and we knew damned well that we had to do something about it.  

As the days have gone by since the inauguration, it has become more and more evident that we did the right thing.  When crooks and thieves manage to corrupt power to their own ends, they are just not going to let some outsider come in and destroy their empire building.  The howls from the Clinton and Obama camps, coupled with the obstinance and recalcitrance of the Republican and Democratic "establishment" as well as the venomous lies of the press and media make it clear that they are bound and determined to get Trump one way or another; in fact, nearly a year after the elections, they're still foaming at their collective mouths.  

Before Obama and his thugs got out of office, they managed to put together a mean machine that is intent on covering up the misdeeds of that administration, but also doing everything possible and imaginable to discredit the Trump team and those of us who elected him to office; they know fully well that they are playing for all of the marbles.  

The game is being played by trying to wear us all down with an endless parade of bad news attacks on the current administration.  When Trump pulls off a really good move, sixteen new stories break out the next day about so-called Russian collusion, racism, and claims that Trump used a single wrong word during a 30-minute speech.  They've gone after his team one-by-one, marginalizing and demonizing them until they have no choice but to leave.  

November of 2018 is really just around the corner and it disturbs me that there are virtually no new faces yet on the horizon who are willing to challenge the establishment and run them out of office.  

Why?  Where are the patriots hiding and why? 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

THE ELIMINATION OF AMERICA

America's government has lasted longer than any government in history.  Some reasons for our success have been our deep sense of patriotism, our recognition and appreciation of our historical roots, and the structure of our government under the Constitution of the United States of America.  Those who would seek to destroy our country would logically seek to destroy these foundations of freedom.  

Our beliefs and foundations are under attack like never before in our history.  Our churches fail to stand up for the religious values upon which our country is historically based.  The infusion of socialism into the nation has led to far-left entities being able to assert their values over ours.  Our borders have become worthless; just recently, a Federal Court has even ruled Texas must pay for and allow an abortion for an underage and illegal alien, thereby announcing to the world that underage illegals are welcome here and can even get free abortions if they can find a way across the borders.  

The teachings of true American history in our schools is being modified through the elimination or rewriting of text books and the modification of required reading of historical American  literature.  One school district has ruled that the classic American novel, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, be removed from reading lists.  

Statues once erected as reminders of historical events are now being torn down, as are crosses created not in the name of religion, but to recognize wars, plagues and other disasters.  Founders of our country have come under attack: antagonists to America are demanding that the names of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln be eliminated from daily discourse.  Our National Anthem and even our flag are now the targets of disrespect and are being turned into symbols of national shame. 

Our courts stray from the confines of our Constitution and assert the right to legislate from the bench.  Our Congress shirks its legal duties, seizes the power of the states and of the people, cowtows to lobbyists and is embroiled in unparalleled corruption.  

How long America can survive these attacks from within is a matter of conjecture, but one thing is certain:  as long as we, the people, turn our backs on the facts and refuse to rise up and do something about it, the momentum toward elimination of America will not only continue unabated , but will increase exponentially. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

AMERICA: THE LID BEGINS TO BLOW OFF

Late yesterday afternoon, astounding news hit the table about the insidious extent of corruption, bribery and violation of the public trust that was running rampant throughout Washington from 2009 to 2017, involving Obama, Holder, Clinton, Mueller, then Lynch, Comey, Rosenstein and God knows who else... all associated with hundreds of millions of dollars illegally coming out of Russia.  

This story undoubtedly involves people in high places in the Democratic and Republican parties, because they had every reason to know what was going on and did nothing about it.  

It will be interesting to see to what lengths the mainstream media will go to stifle these ugly revelations in the days, weeks and months ahead. 


Now, back to my originally planned post.  

Colin  Kaepernick and the NFL aren't the only ones trashing our country and what we stand for.  The body of 29-year-old Army Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright was being returned home on a Delta Airlines flight and a passenger, Pamela Dee Gaudry, decided she wanted to stand up and sing the National Anthem in salute and recognition to the fallen soldier when they landed.  Many passengers wanted to join in, but a Delta flight attendant told them all to sit down and shut up because it was against Delta's policy to sing the National Anthem.  

Well, once a video of the incident started circulating around the Internet. Delta decided they'd better do some damage control and apologized to Gaudry; they did not apologize to Americans on board or to the family of Wright.  Why wasn't Gaudry trained in Delta's policy, whatever it is?  

Delta and Kaepernick and the NFL deserve to suffer their consequences for their anti-American displays.  If they don't like it here in America, why in the hell don't they move to North Korea or Iran, where I'm sure they'd be so much happier?  

As for me, I don't watch NFL games, I don't buy Budweiser and I no longer fly Delta.  

FOR GOD AND COUNTRY, that's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

IT'S NOT A SWAMP...

It's an absolute cesspool.  

You've got this guy Weinstein who has a contract that says he can do whatever he wants with women as long as he is willing to pay for it.  In other words, rape one actress, get caught, pay $250,000.  Two actresses cost $500,000, three are $750,000 and it's $1,000,000 each after that.  No problem.  He also donated piles of money to the Clintons and to the Clinton Foundation... presumably for political favors and Hollywood let him get away with it for years.  

Everybody in Washington is paying off and/or getting paid off by each other, lobbyists, unions, entertainers, and probably drug dealers and abortionists... and getting away with it.  When a political appointee gets in trouble, they simply convert his status to being a Civil Service employee and nobody can fire him.  Attorney General Jeff Sessions won't investigate Hillary or Comey or Rice or anybody else because the Civil Service employees working for him and appointed by the Obama administration won't carry out their jobs and you can't fire them.   

With the exception of one Donald J. Trump, nobody in Washington is willing to stand up for America and do their damned jobs.  The Democrats don't want them to, the Republicans don't care if they do and we Americans get royally screwed in the process. 

Folks... we need to get control of our country back into our own hands by firing every Democrat and every Republican in November of 2018.  Let us not take any prisoners and let us not spare a soul.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.   

IMPEACH JERRY BROWN

California's illustrious Governor "Moonbeam" Brown has really outdone himself this time.  After he and the rest of the state's dimocrats have conspired to create and legislate an endless parade of gun control laws over recent years, they have now decided that violent criminals who participate in gun crimes should have shorter sentences.   The theory is that current mandatory added jail terms for using a gun in the commission of a crime disproportionately affect "people of color." 

Number 1, people of color commit a larger percentage of violent gun crimes than others.  Number 2, how can you advocate for stricter gun control against those law-abiding citizens who will never commit a violent gun crime while at the same time decreasing the penalty for those who do? 

Governor, you and your cohorts are idiots... and total assholes. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, most respectfully submitted.

OBAMACARE: BEATING THE POOR INTO A PULP

The news is that ObamaCare premiums could by going up by... hold onto your pocketbooks... as much as another 70%.  Premiums in some parts of the country have already gone up by 100% or even 200% since ObamaCare was implemented.  Wages, on the other hand, have been rather stagnant.  

What's worse is that if you are too economically distressed to afford these outrageous premiums, if you drop your coverages altogether... you're going to be assessed a huge fine when you file your taxes and, or course, if you don't pay the fine... you're off to jail.  

The Democrats designed it; the Republicans have refused to change it.  If this isn't rape by the government, what is? 

Just how bad is it going to get before we Americans run every damned one of the jackasses out of the country on a railroad handcart?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

ARE YOU UP FOR THIS?

If you were the Queen of Spain today, and this idiot Christopher Columbus was in front of you asking for permission to do an expedition to America, and knowing what you do today... would you authorize the trip? 

BOSTON TEA PARTY IS COMING AGAIN!

The Washington Republicans are living down to their expectations.  A recent poll shows that Americans are fed up with the way the GOP is using the mandate we gave them last November to clean things up.  Some 62% of Americans see them unfavorably, according to a recent Suffolk University-USA Today poll.  

Every single time, without fail, that the ball has been squarely in the Republican's court, they've taken a hint from the NFL and sat on their royal behinds.  Granted, it's not just the Congressional Republicans who are on the s-list; Americans don't care for the Democrats, either; but the Republicans are the ones who are currently in charge.  

I don't think anyone in Washington has the slightest idea about what this country is going to do to them in November of 2018, and it surely is not going to be pretty.  It's very likely to be just one small step short of the Boston Tea Party all over again.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

OUR SCREWED UP PRIORITIES

While 59 innocent citizens are in Vegas mortuaries awaiting transport to local cemeteries and a hundred or more wounded remain confined to hospital beds, the media and the Democrats of the country are already piling on with another panicked move to tighten down American gun control.  They are already conjuring up more onerous laws and regulations to make it more difficult for honest and law-abiding citizens to legally purchase guns, while totally ignoring the fact that gun problems in this country are predominantly caused by criminals... those who have no intentions of obeying any laws, particularly those associated with the ownership or possession of guns.  

That's misguided.  

Equifax, the holder of some of the most sensitive information in the country when it comes to individuals, had its data systems breached, exposing well over 140 million Americans to all kinds of identity fraud, scams and economic loss.  Some top executives of the company allegedly used insider information to trade off their shares of stock in the company before the public was made aware of the data breaches.  So, everyone gets on the bandwagon of having Congressional hearings and SEC investigations, but there is not a single mention of finding out who actually pulled the data breaches off and prosecuting  them. 

That's also misguided. 

The left wing and the media of this country seem to be obsessed with trying to prove that the Trump team had some obscure illegal or immoral connection to the Russians before the election, but they have no interest in investigating what happened with the Clinton Foundation, the Benghazi Massacre, Fast and Furious, the Phoenix tarmac, the I.R.S. targeting, ad infinitum. 

That's beyond misguided. 

Why have we become a nation that can no longer see the forest through the trees?  Why can't we see things for what they really are? 

Maybe we really are as stupid as the Democrats say we are.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

PUERTO RICO: SEND BILL AND HILLARY TO THE RESCUE!

We all remember the devastating earthquakes that hit Haiti in 2010.  Surely, the carnage there was about the same as what we are witnessing in Puerto Rico today; everything was flattened or destroyed and getting aid and supplies into the area was nearly impossible.  But over $13.5 billion was quickly raised by international humanitarian efforts to help rebuild Haiti... a dream that has yet to come true.  

The Clinton Foundation and the Bush family teamed up together to spearhead a venture to use those dollars to rebuild buildings and infrastructure, provide training and education and help build the Haitian economy.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made sure that a good chunk of U.S. taxpayer money, almost $4 billion, got into the mix as well.  

So much for good intentions. 

 

Haitians say that very little of this aid money actually got to poor people in Haiti. As reported in the National Review, "some projects championed by the Clintons, such as the building of industrial parks and posh hotels, cost a great deal of money and offered scarce benefits to the truly needy. Port-au-Prince was supposed to be rebuilt; it was never rebuilt. Projects aimed at creating jobs proved to be bitter disappointments. Haitian unemployment remained high, largely undented by the funds that were supposed to pour into the country. Famine and illness continued to devastate the island nation."

Allegations that the major portion of the relief money got steered to contractors chosen by the Clintons, who managed to get paid "finders fees" and other cuts of the take still permeate the atmosphere.  What is largely agreed upon is that what relief that was provided was only a token of what was actually needed and that results were mixed at best.  In other words, it was a huge ripoff. 

Fast forward to September of 2017 and the situation in Puerto Rico.  The Clintons and the Bushes are unemployed.  Hillary is in the dumps.  Given their wonderful success in Haiti, why don't we select them to head up another "humanitarian" operation?  They desperately need the money and we all know that what they do must be legal, because they've never been investigated or prosecuted for it.

THE MOORE RESULT: SHAPING UP FOR A 2018 ROUT

The Strange defeat in Alabama portends trouble ahead for the "establishment."  Strange was heavily backed by Mitch McConnell and other Washington "insiders." He was also strongly backed by Donald Trump. 

So, what does that all add up to?  

Well, with all of the tweets and speeches Trump made supporting Strange, Moore won anyway.  Trump is the standard bearer right now for conservative Americans.  One would think Strange would win hands down.   But, there's that kiss of death from McConnell and others, labeling him as being a "good old establishment type guy." 

The answer must be that people still like Trump, but they hate the establishment more than they like Trump.  To me, this means that the public, Democrat and Republican alike,  is totally fed up with the establishment.  My conclusion is that every incumbent up for reelection in 2018 is on thin ice and that Americans are more than ready to throw all of the bums out.

That, my friends, is as it damned-well should be.  Hell... they might even throw Nancy Pelosi out... dishwater and all.

CANCELLING A SUPER BOWL PARTY

I belong to one of three veterans organizations in my town.  For the first time in a very long time, the three of us decided to get together on a joint fund-raiser to bring in much needed money to help local veterans, the youth and the community.  

We decided to do a big, first-class Veterans Football Party on Super Bowl Sunday, with hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled-pork sandwiches, chips, nachos, chili and drawings for TV's, NFL memorabilia, etc.  We were on the very verge of kicking this project off, with flyers and tickets already printed and ready to go.  

Well, we're not very happy.  

We put our lives on the line in order to protect America's freedoms, liberties and rights.  But, it seems like there are a lot of so-called Americans who don't believe in standing up for our flag or our National Anthem.  They put their self-centered political agendas ahead of their nation.  And just to show they're damned serious about it, they ignored the outcries and doubled down by getting into our faces with it on Monday Night Football.  

How can any veterans organization do anything to support those anti-American bigots?  

They and all of the advertisers who support them... from Budweiser to Hyundai, from Carnival to Coca Cola, from Doritos to Go Daddy... you name them... they can all take their sorry, unpatriotic butts and head for the poor house, because we're not supporting them or their disgraceful and disgusting anti-social, unsportsmanlike conduct ever again.  

Period.

YOU'RE NOT FREE; YOU JUST THINK YOU ARE

And that's what makes socialism, fascism and communism click. 

Stop and think about things as they are today.  You can't have a pond on your property unless the EPA gives its permission.  In most states, you can't kill a wolf that is eating your poultry.  You are compelled... compelled by law... to perform gay weddings, even if it is against your religious beliefs.  You have to send your kids to schools where Christian prayer is outlawed, but Muslim prayer is not.  

There are elite segments of our society who do not have to obey the laws, while the average citizen does.   I'm speaking of politicians, Members of Congress, bureaucrats, Democrats, Clintonites and the like.  Corporations are able to screw over the populace with impunity; anti-trust laws are routinely not enforced or ignored.   

When those in the high offices of government are sent a message from the people that they want laws enforced and certain legislation passed, the "holier-than-thous" can totally ignore the mandates of the people and do what they damned well please... all while nodding their heads in condescending agreement that the people have spoken and their ways will be mended; but nothing happens.   

And we, the people, blindly go along with it because, we live in a "free country."

DID ILLEGAL UNMASKING PERSIST AFTER TRUMP'S INAUGURATION?

News breaking Wednesday was that illegal unmasking of those Trump team members under surveillance continued at least until the inauguration, according to a FOX NEWS investigation.  "Two sources, who were not authorized to speak on the record, said the requests to identify Americans whose names surfaced in foreign intelligence reporting, known as unmasking, exceeded 260 last year. One source indicated this occurred in the final days of the Obama White House."

One has to ask, since we all know that Obama employees continue to work in various government positions even today, is whether or not these unmasking continued into the Trump administration and whether or not they continue to this day.

Every hour of every day that goes by brings more revelations  about the extent of the rampant corruption and illegal activities during the Obama years.  Why has nobody been prosecuted?  Mr. Sessions, is this the "new American normal," where those in our government can get away with anything?

HILLARY FINALLY SET TO OFFICIALLY CHALLENGE ELECTION RESULTS

While barely managing to hold back tears and at the same time lamenting that Trump conspired with the Russians to steal her just and due election to the presidency, Hillary Clinton has announced she may well challenge the results of that election which occurred ten months ago.  

And all of the left wing loons, the Democrats, the progressives, the "establishment," the media, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell... they're all so, so atwitter!  

When are we going to wake up from this endless nightmare?

IS WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ GUILTY OF ESPIONAGE?

Why would the Pakastani I.T. guy who worked for Debbie Wasserman-Schultz be storing her documents and DNC information on a separate hard drive?  Why was Wasserman-Schultz so adamantly opposed to an investigation into possible hacking of the DNC computers?  Why did she raise holy hell about getting her laptop which her IT aide was using back from the Capitol police?  Why, unlike any other Congressional Member, did she continue to employee this guy after an investigation began into his nefarious activities?  

It is now alleged that Imran Awan transferred massive amounts of information, including government documents and emails, to his own private Dropbox account in the sky, allowing him to access the information even after he was blocked from DNC networks. 

And just what did Awan intend to do with this information he was gathering?  Certainly, he did not intend to save it to give to his grand-children; he undoubtedly intend to sell it.  What was he going to do with all of the profits?  Could it be he was going to  split them with someone in order to guarantee continued access to the information for as long as possible? 

If so, who would most logically be that "someone, and would the information being compromised be of any use to the presidential campaign of one Hillary Rodham Clinton?"

NORTH KOREAN MISSILE LAUNCH: AN ACT OF WAR

North Korea got a pretty stern warning when it launched its last missile straight over Japan.  Then the United Nations has just piled on more sanctions and the little bastard has fired off another missile... over Japan.  

With the slightest technological mistake or equipment malfunction, that missile would come down in Japan or on one of our ships and kill hundreds, if not thousands of people.  Japan also has sovereign jurisdiction over the airspace above its nation.  

This was an act of aggression tantamount to war and needs to be treated as such.

WHY THE NORTH KOREANS AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE ALIKE

They both believe in...

DEATH TO AMERICA

A NAVAL BLOCKADE OF NORTH KOREA MAKES NO SENSE

It sounds good, but think about it.  

Who supplies North Korea with military and nuclear technology?   Who continued to trade with them when they profess not to?  Who wants North Korea to be a continued thorn in our side?  Who wants to start a war, but doesn't want to be blamed for it?  

China. 

And every map I read indicates that China is directly connected to North Korea by land.  

So, won't a naval blockade be just symbolic?  

When are we going to quite pussy-footing around this issue and get serious?

THE BROTHERHOOD OF AMERICA

I was in an American Legion meeting the other night where one of the members who lived far, far away was present for a rare and welcome visit.  During the course of the meeting, someone mentioned that there was surely another American Legion Post much closer to where he lives, so why doesn't he move his membership?  

The answer struck me to my core, because here was the answer to the current day American dilemma.  He said, "Because here, in this room, with all of you here, we are a brotherhood unlike I have ever been able to find anywhere else." 

You know... There were Democrats in that room.  And, there were Republicans, Catholics, Baptists, Presbyterians, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Army, whites, blacks, young, old... people from every walk and persuasion of life.  I've never heard a mean or cross word from any member of that Post to any other member of that Post.  That's not to say we don't have our disagreements but... we talk about them, discuss them, and reach common decisions and conclusions to whatever issues we face.  

No one tries to cram his positions down anyone else's throat.  When the meeting is over and things are done, we sit down together and have a beer or two and move on until the next meeting occurs. 

And there, my friends, is the essence of what is missing in America today.  When we take a vote and one or two sides to an argument loses and, it's over.  But, we're still together through thick and thin.

THOUSANDS OF GOVERNMENT WORKERS NEED TO BE JAILED

Everyday, we learn more and more about the corruption and coverups during the years of the Obama administration.  These efforts were made on the part of Washington bureaucrats who appeared to be more than willing to violate laws and breach the public trust in order to protect Obama and Clinton and to further their anti-American agendas.  

But, that's only the half of it.  

Even today, long after the American public decided it had had enough and threw the chief evildoers out, the stench continues as entrenched government officials continue the coverups and ignore court orders to produce documents and testimony related to a whole gamut of sick and putrid tricks perpetrated on the American public.  These people are actively thwarting investigations and even going so far as to undermine the government of the United States in their efforts to delegitamize the duly-elected Trump presidency.  

In other words, while Trump may want to drain the swamp, he is being prevented from finding the plug.  Until we do something about it, these scalawags are going to cling onto their positions in government, wreaking havoc in every way possible and imaginable.  

The big picture here is that hundreds, if not thousands of them need to not only be forced out of government,, they need to be investigated, prosecuted and put in jails for a very long time; otherwise, there is no deterrent against more of the same.

JUST REMEMBER...

While you're out there enjoying Labor Day weekend, just remember the people down in Texas and Louisiana, and the people who are going to get shot in Chicago because their mayor won't let people own firearms so they can defend themselves. 

Have a great day.
