INSPECTOR GENERAL: ANOTHER SHAMEFUL SESSIONS STONEWALL

Both the Republican and Democrat establishments are wanting us to believe that having the Inspector General conduct an investigation into the FISA abuses is a huuuge step toward into getting to the bottom of Washington crime and corruption during the Obama-Clinton years.  The fact is, having the Inspector General look into this mess is like trying to insert a wet noodle into a sewing needle and it's just another downright lie.  

For over 18 months, the DOJ, the FBI and the DOS have been openly obstructing justice and stonewalling any and all efforts to get to the facts.  Out of 1.2 million documents that have been subpoenaed three times since August of 2016 by Congress, only 3,000 have been delivered; many of those have been greatly redacted.  Congress, in playing along with this dog and pony show, has accepted the delays without doing anything about it.  There have been no calls for Contempt of Congress or for impeachment of the officials responsible for their refusal to comply.  

I have no bad things to say about Inspector General Horowitz, but the fact of the matter is that he is toothless.  An IG cannot file criminal charges, cannot subpoena testimony or documents, and cannot compel former government employees or outsiders to cooperate.  All he can do is refer his conclusions to the DOJ for possible further action, and neither AG Jeff Sessions or his sidekick Rod Rosenstein have shown even the slightest inclination or desire to get to the bottom of all of this.

But, that's not all.

The IG "investigation" being touted as the cat's meow only looks at FISA.    What about the Clinton Emails?  What about pay-for-play?  What about the Clinton Foundation?  What about the cellphones that were smashed in defiance of a government subpoena?  What about Benghazi?  

But, that's not all.  

Sessions is directly responsible for perpetrating another establishment slight-of-hand and erecting yet one more barrier to justice.   He's telling Horowitz, and another U.S. Attorney, David Huber, (an Obama appointee from Utah), who is supposedly looking into certain issues involving the FBI, the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One, that these two guys are ordered to report directly to Sessions and/or Rosenstein, which means that DOJ and the FBI will have the opportunity to see what they are uncovering and to take steps in advance to spin the results for public consumption... or to bury the facts altogether.  

And Congress is complicit in playing right along with the dirty, rotten scheme. 

Happy Easter.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

REELECT NO ONE

As angry as I am with Trump for signing the Omnibus Bill, I have to admit that I'd rather have him as President than anyone else right now.  I do agree, beyond a doubt, that neither Ryan or McConnell should have allowed this legislation to even get to Trump's desk.  

It is a disastrous bill, written behind closed doors by Ryan, McConnell, Schumer and Pelosi.  Nobody else had a say in it.  It was presented to the House at the last minute and Ryan insisted that House Members approve it before they even had a chance to read it, a move straight out of the Pelosi ObamaCare playbook.  Like the uncaring sheep that they are, House Members immediately passed it without hesitation.   From there it went to the Senate and McConnell and Schumer twisted arms and got it passed just before the start of Easter vacation.  Both House and Senate members then promptly left town, leaving Trump to either sign it, or to veto it and shut down the government.  

Of course, Trump could have called them back into session and vetoed the Bill; why he didn't, I'll never know.   The dirty, underhanded way that it was compiled and passed required both Republicans and Democrats to go for it.  

And we Americans get it all shoved where the sun don't shine.  

There is not a Member of Congress who allowed this to happen who should be reelected in November.  Not one.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

ACTUALLY, CLINTON WAS CORRECT: TRUMP IS DEPLORABLE

Ann Coulter says the Dems will win back the House and Senate in 2018 and they will impeach Trump.  As much as I hate to say it, I hope she's correct.

Trump betrayed our trust. 

Mike Pence will make a much better President.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

TO HELL WITH TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS

THEY MADE AMERICA

CRAPPY 

AGAIN

PISS ON TRUMP AND ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS

The Congressional Republicans have just passed and the President has just signed the most obnoxious piece of legislation to pass since ObamaCare.  

This is just one more example of how, when we the people hand them the ball, they fumble it and they fumble it royally.  

It's obvious that we are mere pissants.  

I'm done with them.  All of them.  They can all rot in hell. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, angrily submitted. 

WHY NO BORDER WALL? ASK MCCONNELL AND RYAN

The proposed new Omnibus Bill, now approved by the House, includes a paltry 5% down-payment on the promised border wall over the next two years.  

Trump promised construction would start on the wall immediately after he became President.  Here we are, 14 months down the road, and we're no closer to the border wall than we were in 1936 BC.   On the other hand, the Bill includes funding for a new tunnel between New Jersey and New York... funding that benefits a limited number of Americans.  

Why?  

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell don't give a rat's buttocks about what Trump or the rest of us want.  While vocalizing that they support Trump and his agenda 100%, they've been doing everything possible to delay or totally divert important segments of his agenda.  In fact, they are dead-set against the border wall and purposely inserted language in the Bill limiting the funding.  Since they're both staunch members of the progressive establishment, they had no qualms about adding funding to create the new tunnel, thereby pleasing the Schumer zombies and giving rise to celebration in the Democrat ranks.  

They have proven beyond a doubt that they are Republicans in name only, and that they are the enemy of the American people.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

OMNIBUS BILL: SHOVING IT UP OUR KEESTERS

SPECIAL POST

The Republican-controlled Congress and White House are poised to do what they have always done... shoot themselves in the foot.  The Republicans are about to pass a huge, outlandish bill that does not build the border wall, but instead funds a tunnel between New Jersey and New York that pleases Schumer and his cronies at the expense of people in Nebraska, Arizona and the rest of the nation.  

It is, in short, largess at its worst.   

By funding that tunnel, they are caving in and satisfying the interests of a selected few while sacrificing the interests of the nation at the entire southern border.  Furthermore, Trump promised to stop this nonsense in Washington.  

If this Bill passes as it is, Americans must throw every damned Republican and every damned Democrat in Washington out of office.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

DEMS WILL RESCUE MCCABE

NBC News' Andrea Mitchell suggested the other day that Andrew McCabe might save his pension if some Democrat in Congress would hire him for a week to get him past his required time for receiving his government pension.  Word around Washington is that several Dems have decided to jump on board and have offered him the temporary "gig."  

There is obviously no sense of civic responsibility left in the Democrat Party.  We need to get rid of all of them in November.

POOR, MISTREATED JOSE

Jose Garcia-Zarate, the illegal immigrant who had been deported five times and yet found sanctuary in San Francisco, and who shot and killed the 32-year-old Kate Steinle in July 2015, was found not guilty because the jury conjectured it was an accident regardless of the fact that he had stolen the murder weapon, is now suing the government for what he suggests is “vindictive prosecution.” 

I really am inclined to agree with him.  He was in a sanctuary city and therefore entitled to do as he pleased.  He claimed it was an accident, so you have to believe him.  And he should be compensated for all of those nasty and vile things prosecutors had to say about him, simply because he's an underprivileged illegal and has "rights." 

They're now set to deport him again, which just isn't fair.  If Nancy Pelosi had any real compassion for the illegals like Zarate, she'd invite him to move in with her. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

FALLING OFF THE EDGE, GOING AROUND THE BEND

Ever since the first firearm appeared in America, they've been used for hunting, target shooting, and self-defense.  Thousands, if not millions, of young men and women went out hunting with their dads and, when they graduated from high school or turned 18, they were rewarded with their own rifle as a "rite of passage."  Tens of thousands or more young men proudly displayed their rifles in the back windows of their cars or trucks for decades while on school campuses and not a single one of them, nationwide, was ever used in a campus shooting. 

Now, in 2018, after another young man under 18 has possessed a gun which he should not have possessed in the first place due to mental instability issues, the move comes to ban anyone under the age of 21 from owning or possessing a gun or ammunition.  

Once again, the innocent suffer while the nincompoops create laws that will not solve the problem.  Do you think for one minute if a nutcase wants to grab a gun and go on a killing spree that he/she is going to allow such a silly law to stop them?  Somehow, they'll appropriate a gun somewhere.  

In Oregon, a 20-year-old who legally owned a shotgun went into a Kroger's and was denied the ability to purchase ammunition, because store policy had changed to require purchasers of guns or ammo to be at least 21.  He's suing for age discrimination; state law says you can't deny a person his or her rights for a variety of reasons, such as race, sex, religion or age.  But, the store doesn't care about that; they want to make a political statement.  

If these laws are enacted, say goodbye to military ROTC rifle competitions.  As a matter-of-fact, and based on the ability of cities and states like California to declare themselves sanctuary havens, why couldn't they also proclaim that the military cannot issue rifles or carbines to members under the age of 21 residing or stationed in their state?   

It boggles my mind to think that the answer to some crazy guy charging into a mass of people with a gun is to deny them the right to defend themselves.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

TILLERSON GONE: SESSIONS, ROSENSTEIN AND WRAY NEXT?

I was shocked to awaken yesterday to the news that Trump had nominated Mike Pompeo to be the next Secretary of State.  My initial reaction was, "What happened to Tillerson, and why?"  Certainly, he had done a much better job than his two immediate predecessors, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. 

On second thought, anybody could have done a better job than those two birds.  The more I thought about it, the more I began to realize why Trump fired Tillerson and why he chose Pompeo for the replacement.  

Sometimes in the course of human management, you have to first hit people over the head with a baseball bat in order to get their attention.  I can't begin to tell you how many times in my history, when I've been asked to go into a business and help turn it around, I've immediately been faced with resistance when trying to instill change:  "We've always done it that way."  Well, if you've always done it that way, why are you failing and why don't you want to accept change?  

Tillerson was a fine man with, I think, good motives and a great background.  I don't know that he ever swung a baseball bat, but Trump wants and needs to drain the swamp and it's obviously that several baseball bats are needed.  The State Department is permeated with... overflowing is the word... jackasses and insurrectionists who think they run the government.  Those incumbents continue to cover for Obama and Clinton and to stonewall any attempt to move the Trump agenda forward.  They simply must be removed, relegated to the basement or thrown out the door.  Tillerson was so busy putting his arms around the huge international problems that we have to deal with to do any house cleaning.  But, there's an old adage that your own house has to be in order before you can go out and reorganize the world.  In that respect, Tillerson failed.  

So it is with Sessions.   So it is with Wray.  Rosenstein is an integral part of the problem that needs to be fixed.

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

IS GOD A DEMOCRAT?

I must first of all make my case that there is a God, simply because many people these days don't believe in God; they also believe that when you die, that's the end and there is no more life or afterlife.  Their excuse for Earth and the universe is that it was created by the big bang, but when you ask what was there before the big bang or what caused the big bang, they get up and leave the room.  

The universe is not all black and white, either.  There are countless things going on in the universe and on Earth itself which are unexplainable.    Most scientists these days will admit that there is some energy floating around in space, but they don't know what it is or where it comes from; they have theories, but no proof.  

Certainly, what exists did not always exist, at least in its present form.  But, logic would tell us that something had to exist; you cannot create something out of nothing.  Hence, something all powerful must exist or existence itself would be impossible.  Religi0n teaches us that there is a Supreme Being, a Great Spirit, a God from which all things including us are made.  The more that scientists investigate, the more they conclude that if God does not exist, one most certainly cannot rule out the possibility.  

The Bible teaches us that this God is all powerful and that you cannot deny His existence or evade His Word.  Certain instructions or commandments have been laid down among all religions, and all religions teach that defiance of those instructions is neither possible or allowable.  If you defy them, you will pay a heavy penalty.  

Democrats believe that their word is not to be denied or defied.  If you disagree with them or do not obey them, you will face their wrath.  If you speak out of turn, your mouth shall be shut.  There is no law on Earth except the laws which they create and dictate; they are not compelled to obey any law of any society.  

Since they are all powerful and live in heaven, which we do not and never will, we must conclude that Democrats are Gods.  You would therefore be wise my friend, the next time you encounter one of these divine creatures, to throw yourself upon the ground and beg forgiveness, lest you say or do something wrong and create a sin which will result in your spending eternity in purgatory.

CALIFORNIANS: THANK YOU JEFF SESSIONS

Not all of us in California are happy with the "Sanctuary State and City" policies of the left-wing liberal Democrats in power in Sacramento.  For one thing, no citizen in this State was granted a say in the decision; it was rammed through by a cartel of socialistic anti-Americans in the State Legislature and promptly signed by Moonbeam Brown.  It was a "cramdown;"  there was no public debate, no discourse and no forum granted to anyone who opposed the dictate.  

There are millions of Californians who don't have their heads screwed up by fascism, who don't want Mao as their next governor and who do believe in their country and their national roots.  We've been left to fend for ourselves while being overrun by illegals who commit crime after crime after crime and get away with it.  We're surrounded by people, both illegals and citizens, who commit violent acts and who get a slap on the wrist before being turned loose to do it again.  

Just because we're surrounded by thoughtless, self-serving left-wingers does not mean that we have lost our values or our ideals.  We're very grateful for President Trump and his administration's goals to rid this state... and this country... of illegals and crime.  A breath of fresh air is wafting across the orange groves and the beaches of the Golden State.

NRA GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS

Google searches for "NRA" have risen by more than 4,900 percent since the anti-gunners started their confiscation dance right after the Parkland, Florida shootings.  While more than four dozen companies broke off all relations with the NRA, a large swath of the American populace is equating these attacks on the NRA with attacks on the Second Amendment, and others see the attacks as proof of “media bias.” The result is an explosion in NRA memberships.  

Some student survivors of the Valentine’s Day massacre are planning "March for Our Lives " protests in 50 cities on March 24th to demand increased gun-control legislation. The effort has the backing of major left-wing activist groups and celebrities, most of which are backed and funded by George Soros and Michael Bloomberg: MoveOn.org, Planned Parenthood, the Women’s March LA, Everytown for Gun Safety, Giffords, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and the American Federation of Teachers are helping to organize the protests.  

Seeing the anti-gun hysteria and the mass mainstream media bias, thousands of people who don't even own a gun are signing up for the NRA, news that is "disconcerting" to the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Hollywood.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

F.B.I. TO AMERICANS: "UP YOURS!"

There were top-secret, undisclosed meetings between James Comey and President Obama as late as just a few days before President Trump took office.  The January 5, 2017 meeting included Vice-President Biden, Susan Rice and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.  

In response to a request for records of those meetings an on "expedited" basis, the F.B.I.'s David Hardy said, essentially, Americans have no interest and the F.B.I. will therefore get around to releasing the requested information when it damned well pleases.  “You have not provided enough information concerning the statutory requirements permitting expedition: therefore your request is denied,” he told TheDCNF, (Daily Caller News Foundation).  Such information is not “a matter of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exists possible questions about the government’s integrity which affects public confidence.” 

So there it is: The F.B.I. has now seized full control over the American investigation into crime and corruption at the highest levels of our government.  You need to let your Congressmen and Senators know that, unless they do something immediately to correct this gross insurrection, you won't be voting for them in November.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

SCHUMER PROVES IT: DEMOCRATS ARE BIGOTS

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday voted against a nomination by the Trump administration to fill a federal judgeship because the nominee is white.  

The nominee, Marvin Quattlebaum, appears to be eminently well-qualified, but Schumer voted against him, essentially saying Trump has no business selecting someone who is qualified; nominees must be from racial minorities in order to ensure "diversity" on the bench.  

Be sure to vote for the Democrats in November; they're just soooo respectable.  And remember... every Democrat in Congress voted against ending slavery. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION,  respectfully submitted. 

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GROW UP AND BEHAVE OURSELVES?

First off, let me say that I agree 100% with Trump's plan to ban bump stocks in this country.  Any modification to any gun that is made to allow that gun to fire automatically like a machine gun should be outlawed.  They are designed to kill multitudes of people, pure and simple.  That's not to say such a band will mean anything; there are many bump stocks already out there and available and a simple law does not mean spit to a criminal or terrorist.  But, I do agree with the idea of a ban.  

Raising the age limit on long gun possession to 21 is the dumbest idea Trump has come up with, ever.  That's not going to make it any more difficult for someone determined to get his hands on a long gun; they're in almost every gun closet in America.  All you're going to do is to create a black market for them.  At the same time, you're punishing the law-abiding and the innocent.  You're taking away a father-son sport that has been around since guns were invented... hunting.  The next logical step in this crazy thinking is to ban long guns anywhere in the residence of anyone who has someone under 21 living there.  

Allowing volunteer school staff to carry concealed campus is an excellent idea.  But, there needs to be some conditions; (1) must legally possess the firearm; (2) must obtain and maintain a concealed weapons permit;  (3) must take and pass training in how to deal with mass shootings in schools and public places, and (4) must pass a competency qualification on the gun range.  

 I also believe that laws which prohibit concealed carry permit holders from being on school campuses or in other public places should be abolished.  

That all having been said, we can't stop there.  These are valid stop-gap measures.  Talking to governors and other high muckety-mucks about what they think is not the answer; we need to pull together school teachers, administrators, law enforcement, the NRA, psychologists, social engineers and the military to discuss the root causes of gun violence and to study solutions.  That's a medium-range objective.  Finally, we need to come to grips with violence in general and eliminate the "need or desire" to commit any act of violence, and that is going to have to be a long-range objective. 

Finally, we have to start acting like adults.  This constant screaming, demanding and threatening... much like a kid throwing a tantrum in a sandbox... has simply got to stop.  Is this the kind of example we want  to show our children?  Grow up.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

ANTI-GUNNER SOCIALISTS JUST "FINE" WITH FLORIDA SHOOTING

Anti-gunner socialists are just fine with the way the Parkland, Florida school shooting turned out.  They're perfectly okay with the fact that no one in the school had a gun or the training to counteract Cruz.  

You can tell that by the fact that they are not screaming bloody murder over the four cops who hid outside while the shootings were going on.  The media, to the contrary, seems to be covering it up; they're downplaying that sad fact and instead, climbing on the "Blame the NRA" bandwagon.  None of them want school teachers or staff members to be armed and trained.  

Obviously, they would prefer to seize guns from legal and responsible gun owners than to defend their school children from sick, psychotic and evil criminals.  They don't even want your children to pray while they're being shot, because they're in a public school!   

And, you'd damned-well better make sure your kids attend school, danger or not; otherwise, you're going to go to jail for being an unfit parent.   

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.   

GUNS: WE NEED TO COME TO THE TABLE

Mass shootings at schools, churches and other "no guns" venues has to stop.  Shootings of cops has to stop.  There is no one in the NRA who doesn't agree with the rest of the country that these things have to stop.  

The other side of the story, that the left-wing socialists and Democrats in the country want to abolish the Second Amendment and totally get rid of guns in this country, is also true... but we all know that such an event would only leave the criminals and terrorists totally in charge of our destinies.  

Nevertheless, the common denominator between the NRA membership and the anti-gunners is that we both desperately want gun violence to stop.  The nation in its entirety, as a whole, needs to come to grips with the problem and solve it.  There is absolutely no reason why law-abiding citizens should have to give up their Second Amendment rights in the process.  They are not the ones to blame here. 

So, how do we deal with the ones who are to blame?  That is the question which both the NRA and the rest of Americans need to deal with.  Why can't we all sit down at the table, cut out the name calling, and solve it?  Don't be afraid of the issue; look it straight in the eye and find a way to come together and solve it. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

CRAZY DOGS

We're just learning that the Russians infiltrated our social media platforms and fed information to Americans designed to pit them against each other and create social unrest.   They even organized public demonstrations, both for and against Trump, for and against Hillary.  Obama and the intel people did nothing, because they mistakenly believed that the Russians were for Clinton and against Trump; the Russians, however, were against all of America and our political processes.  

The mainstream media, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Clinton cartel and the Democrats, pounced on anything and everything the Russians were doing for Clinton and against Trump and went trumpeting Russia's messages around the country like rabid animals, sowing further division and disruption among the populace; Hillary and Barry even started to think that Hillary's election was "in the bag." 

When the election was over and Hillary lost, they were stunned.  I doubt they ever realized that Russia was playing both sides against the middle.  In fact, they're evidently still in denial. 

And so it festered upon itself, like the hateful and spiteful lunacy that it has become.  The Soros-inspired  media is controlled by the Democrats and the Russians, the Dems are driven to greater depths of depravity and insaneness by what they read in the papers and hear in the media, and the whole cabal of idiots proceed, like crazy dogs, to think they were somehow cheated in their quest to take total control of America.
