Trump’s New World Order

Those who have followed my RTM blog posts know that I’ve felt that our government had run off the rails some time back (at least after WWII) and simply needed a “do over” (like in golf). Both major political parties have been acting not in the interests of the American people, but apparently for the money of special interest groups.

I had (and still have) no clue of how a coarse correction would/should happen and until recently verified by people like Glenn Beck that the things I have long suspected even before Trump assumed office in 2017 (I was not quite smart enough to do a thorough research on it). Under Obama as early as December 2016, he issued guidance to his national security team to sink Trump’s presidency even before Trump’s inauguration in 2017. This was a coup, or as democrat politicians like to say “an assault on our democracy” because their favorite “daughter” Hillary lost the 2016 election.

What followed was the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 2 impeachments and nationwide resistance to President Trump and his administration and lawfare against the Trump White House (sending some under presidential protection (Executive Privilege) to jail for not answering Congress); mass migration invasion at the Southern border; COVID and then came the 2020 election which Trump rightfully disputed and led to the events of J6, 2021.

I still don’t understand how over the years our presidents although recognizing the need for a more secure border but failing to take necessary action to stop unlawful invaders; the need to cut down on wasteful government spending; and reduce a bloated government; or how to effectively win the war on drugs (just to name a few).

During the 4 year debacle which was the Biden administration a great many things went wrong but Americans got what they wanted, “Anyone but Trump”.

During Trump’s 2nd term his team strategized on how to effectively reverse the “Biden effect” should Trump win a second term in the 2024 election, Trump began his 2^nd term in 2025 by hitting the ground running. Trump dropped so many truth bombs, calling it like it was and promising to fix everything that Biden did and then announcing to the world that the United States was finished being the world’s “ATM and war police” but was now focused on American interest first, a necessary step to Making America Great Again. Who knew that utilizing tariffs would begin to turn things around globally?

We have seen an untold number of assassination attempts/plots/threats on Trump, his family, his administration and on the nation as a whole.

Like I said, I have no clue when it comes to the things Trump has done and is doing, knowing that he had less than 4 years to “get her done”, moving at the “Speed of Trump” he has shifted much of the global resources under the dominion and control of the United States.

He was mocked for moving quickly on Venezuela; his stance on the Panama Canal; Greenland; Canada; Cuba; and snatching control of the Strait of Hormuz from the hands of Iran. By not following the path of previous presidents I believe that Trump has purposefully eliminated the Iranian military threat, setting the stage for Iranians to rise up and take control of their own destiny while preventing American boots on the ground in an extended combat scenario, placing the nations of the world on notice that they are responsible for their own defense and must first “pony up” with their own money and resources (military forces).

I firmly believe that God is in control and has been using Trump to stop political correctness and evil from taking over the United States and the nations of the world before their appointed time.

What we see happening at home are politicians coming out of hiding as they openly oppose supporting Israel while openly supporting Iranian proxies and positioning themselves to destroy the US Constitution and the government through Marxist and socialist agendas, leading to a call for American Patriots to stand up and fight to preserve the American way of life?

Nothing surprises God. One man obedient to God is invincible until such time as his mission is completed.

One man plus God is the majority. – RTM

Sentido Común

If you’ve been following my RTM blog posts you have read my thoughts on quite a number of topics, mostly political and intentionally informative. You will also remember that I am a staunch Trump supporter, or as one sign that sums it up best, “An Ultra-MAGA”.

I remember the 2015 campaign season and after the 2016 election, how the term TDS was born after the results did not favor democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. In the almost 10 years since, I have written my thoughts on many things, including the COVID epidemic which swept across the globe in record time.

I have written extensively about the lawfare being used exclusively on Trump’s MAGA supporter, in particualrly the after January 6^th, 2020.

Today I find it extremely useful to watch information revealed and uncovered by podcasts from Glenn Beck and others who validate my conclusions of the past particularly the running coup initiated by Barack Obama from the Oval Office in December 2016 outlining stopping the upcoming presidency of Donald Trump.

I have written extensively on how Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (both US Senate alumni) were taken by the teachings of Saul Alinsky, who told how to incite chaos (TDS) by any means necessary, yet cautioned against  keeping it going way too long as people will grow weary.

A number of people stopped following my RTM blog posts for that very reason.

Today we see that during Trump’s 2^nd term he’s playing a multi-dimensional game of real-life chess, with a game board and pieces never before seen. His end result is clearly focused on taking care of America First and Americans in general, while politicians get caught up on making every issue about race.

Trump is a visionary who sees what could be and then speaks it into existence, something politicians have no clue.

Justin Case

I’ve spent my entire life making room for things that might happen sometime in the future. I remember the time while doing computer repair I received a huge shipment of nonworking computers which after testing each one I parted out. Components went into bins, even nuts, screws and case fans, each into their own compartments. A few months later I took the empty cases (packed to the roof inside my Dodge Durango) to a local recycler only to receive a few cents per pound (not enough to pay for the gas). I then loaded up boxes of computer parts and donated them to a small-time computer store, only to discover, a few days later, that I needed one particular part and in my mind I could see which box I had stored it in. I went back to the computer store and they were unable to find that part (or offer me one they might have had on hand). Today I have a small inventory of working desktop computers that I’m saving for Justin Case somebody might need one.

The other day I went out to my storage unit to search for something I wanted to pull out for one of my kids or grandkids. Looking around I kept spotting items that I have no intention of using, or donating to a local thrift store. My reasoning is that Justin Case might actually come looking for any one of those items.

I’ll bet that you too have stuff squirreled away for Justin Case too……… lol – RTM

The Quest for Power over American Citizens

A driving force resulting in American freedom has been against unfair and over burdensome taxation and stifling of the free spirit given my Almighty God. That fight continues today after 250 years.

Unfortunately governmental overreach by unethical politicians seeks to limit the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, beginning with Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Let me be clear, unless an elected official swears allegiance to protect and defend the Constitution and simultaneously denounce foreign ties and allegiances, they should never hold public office.

Being elected or appointed to public office carries with it great responsibility, to Almighty God, the Nation, or State and to oneself respectively without respect to political party affiliation. Elected office is a public service and should never be seen as a “career” or a job to be held and retired from.  Nor should it be a position of relentless power over others or a means to amass a financial fortune in the process.

Public service means serving the needs (public safety and welfare and national security) of the constituents who voted to elect you by putting their needs ahead of any personal or political ambitions or aspirations. Instead of harping on what is wrong with others, why not sell your story of what you bring to the table and what you can do for the public good.

The checks and balances codified in the Constitution are meant to insure no branch can run amuck or impede any other branch of government. Civil discourse does not mean hurling insults, threats of violence or shouting down anyone because of personal, political differences. It does mean working it out TOGETHER!

It’s been said that absolute power corrupts absolutely; so let it also be said that the great equalizer to power is responsibility for words, actions and their consequences.

If public service is on your bucket list, make sure you’re carrying the right bucket! – RTM

Trump Puts His Name on Everything

The left rants that President Trump is acting like a king by putting his name on everything he can while sitting in the White House siting Trump’s name on the Kennedy Center (which a judge ordered removed), and the president instructing the DOW not to use his office designation for their newest stealth fighter (the F-47).

In the news now is the newly renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport in West Palm Beach, Florida and the President Donald J Trump Bridge on I-40 over the French Broad River in Dandridge, Tennessee which must be driving their TDS absolutely crazy(ier) than ever before as communities honor President Donald J. Trump.

I can see how they and everyone who’s not paying attention will always get it wrong. When Donald J. Trump took over his father Fred’s construction business one of the first things he did was to change it to Trump Enterprises and put the Trump brand on just about everything he built as a statement that Trump quality was excellence. In fact Donald Trump has told others when you work, put your name and reputation out there where others can see it and publicity (good or bad) is worth money you don’t have to pay out.

When the Kennedy Center board decided to add Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center, it was to honor the man who had chosen to upgrade and modernize the center at his own expense, so when a judge ordered his name removed, that upgrade was stopped immediately and America lost out.

When President Trump began the creation of a White House Ballroom, it has all the trappings of a well thought out Trump property, but without his name on it and still the leftists have tried to squash it with legal maneuvers and a misinformation campaign.

I haven’t seen the design for a future Trump presidential library, but after the Obama Presidential Center fiasco in Chicago, I can envision something straight out of Donald Trump’s construction empire playbook for his library. I’ve heard the site has already been selected at an undisclosed Florida location. Because Florida has no mountains to speak of, maybe a manmade monument that rival Mount Rushmore is in order (& with the Qatar AF1 aircraft) and with an 18 hole golf course to boot?

On the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Grand Opening

The small town of Medora located in the “Badlands” of North Dakota is home to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Today’s ribbon cutting ceremony by President Donald J. Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum officially opened the newly completed presidential center which focused on the life and legacy of the 26^th President Theodore Roosevelt.

What we saw were the ceremonial Rough Riders riding escort, in formation and later in the stands behind President Trump as he delivered his address to the crowd praising Theodore Roosevelt and denouncing the ills of communism in American politics.

I couldn’t help but make a comparison of the TRPL in Medora, ND and the BOPC in Chicago, IL each with distinctly different focuses such as the bling, glamor or glitter, Hollywood entertainers, and elites and the trappings seen in Chicago recently when the Barack Obama Presidential Center opened. Also not seen were any of the living former presidents and their wives and democrat members of congress standing in solidarity and paying homage while the Obamas talked about me, myself, and I, as unpaid workers (-$13M) stood idly by, forgotten by a man they had once idolized. – RTM

The Big Tent Party

This may be one of the shortest blog posts I’ve made in quite a long while.

The Democratic Party has died an agonizing death, far worse than being buried alive. It has undergone a hostile takeover by social democrats who are not really democrats at all and in Washington congressional democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said something to the effect that “a leader has to stand with his party” (loosely paraphrased by me). All this time I thought a leader was someone who leads by example, not from the sidelines or back of the crowd.

I seem to remember a funny hat “Which way did they go? I’m their leader”. It just doesn’t seem funny for democrats now does it?

The transformation from the party of the working man into the Big Tent Party is fraught with problems right from the start. I heard a democrat say “Democrats don’t hate anybody”, yet all we hear from the talking heads in Washington and their media is hatred for all things TRUMP and MAGA Republicans.

In the spirit of 250 Years as a nation, the Great American States Fair was a huge success even without the blue states boycott. In what world does anyone not want to draw people to any particular state or showcase the accomplishments of every state?

It wasn’t that long ago that it seemed the clowns were running the Democratic Party politics and now to adopt the Big Tent as their party, where nobody is welcome unless they “say as we say; do as we do; believe as we believe” hinging on “ORANGE MAN BAD”.

President Trump has continually beckoned everyone to join the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement, regardless of political party, race, religion or gender with his “WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE”?

Now we know – it’s everything. – RTM

On The Obama Presidential Center

What can I say? Speechless would only be kind. After 10 years the $850M OPC is a glaring example of DEI raring its ugly head during the ongoing 250 celebration of American independence. To put it mildly one news commentator described the OPC as resembling an ugly cinderblock standing resolutely on its end.

Let me be clear. All the hype and glitter surrounding the opening of the OPC reminded me of the Kamala Harris presidential campaign and why if failed terribly with her still missing and unaccounted $2M.

The tradition of the Democratic Party paves the path forward over the blood, sweat and tears of democrat voters and in this case the DEI contractors and workers who are still waiting for their unpaid $33M for services rendered, while Hollywood superstars are brought in to declare the “beautifulness” of “King” Barack and his presidency.

The group photo of five ex-presidents and their spouses (Joe & Jill Biden; Barack & Michelle Obama; George W. & Laura Bush; William & Hillary Clinton), noticeably missing was the current office holder, President Trump and Melania. Just like the banning of President Trump (#45) from attending the funerals of prominent politicians during his first term.

With President Trump busy saving the free world from the Iranian Islamic regime while forging ahead with the America 250 events across the nation. It had been reported that invitations had been sent but that would be like inviting a master chef to a backyard BBQ to taste a very bad rack of ribs.

The OPC boasts of a museum, the inscribed first and last pages of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) are visible on the exterior, while inside houses a public library, community and conference facilities, a fountain honoring his mother and houses the nonprofit Obama Foundation, and a basketball court (from the White House)? The grounds outside the OPC appears even be a golf course.

The Grand Experiment Called America

“When was America ever great?” my grandson asked. He then alluded to the taking of land from the indigenous peoples (Indian tribes) by white settlers, but we never quite got to the issue of slavery in America.

This short conversation got me to thinking of why did groups of Europeans leave their homeland to embark on individual journey’s into the unknown? After all so called “experts” said the world was flat and anyone who challenged that idea would simply fall off the edge.

We’ve heard a lot about people being overtaxed to the point that they would take their chances on a sailing ship into the unknown, where they would be free to worship God and raise their families free from the tyrannical kingdoms of Europe.

For those who survived the ordeal that took weeks if not months they found that the overreach of the European kingdoms stretched across the vast Atlantic Ocean and setting foot on the new continent did not mean actual freedom from oppression or taxes.

The new inhabitants of what became the original 13 colonies were still being governed and taxed, without any representation. The kings believed what was his was his and what was theirs was his as well.

What many wanted was a place where they were free to build their homes, work the land and worship God without any outside interference. Initially settlers interacted with local tribes exchanging ideas about which crops were best for their particular area and climate – thus the first Thanksgivings were about the abundant blessings of God.

As the various tribes did not consider land something to be “owned” but shared and “Mother Earth” was to be worshipped. Culture is unique among people around the earth and passed down from generation to generation.

There were some people who felt that religion was something everyone had to accept. Looking at early paintings and photographs it seemed that in order to be accepted as “civilized” western clothing was a must.

Among those who came to the colonies were men and women, good and bad and the mix wasn’t always good. The bible tells us that the root of all evil is money. It is still true today.

I heard Steve Harvey say that all that we have and all that we are came from the imagination of people (read it again).

The imagination of dreamers brought various people from all over the world and what they did individually and collectively can be seen all around us today.

God created man and gave birth to man’s creative genes.

Everything didn’t flourish overnight. It took a lot of hard work for things to begin to take shape in the colonies over many years. When it came time to declare independence and fight for freedom there were years of suffering. Settling on a particular type of government was a painstaking ordeal that no one could agree, except that there would be “NO KINGS” (the first movement).

The founding fathers finally agreed from the start we not settle for a democracy or simply a republic but that we become a Constitutional-Republic by the drafting of a bill of rights and a constitution that was different than any other nation in the world at that time, or since.  

From a ragtag band of brothers and sisters who stood up to the greatest empire in the world at the time and won independence (7-4-1776), we became The United States of America where our rights come from our creator and government is from and of the people.

As a nation we have made mistakes, and yet strived to bring peace to a world constantly in a state of war. We have had 47 presidents with varied backgrounds and life experiences who have been successful when not leaning on their own understanding but seeking guidance from Almighty God.

It’s important to note that on this 250^th year of independence, America is the greatest nation on earth and we bow our knee to Almighty God, from whom our strength comes from.

When I hear someone say they are strongly “Anti-MAGA” I have to ask what does “MAGA” mean to you? Are you not grateful to be living in a society where you are free to speak, travel, work, and raise your family to worship Almighty God as you choose?

MAGA = Make America Great Again isn’t just a nifty slogan, but a means of uniting Americans together as one people, under God, a light to the world around us, a testament of what mankind can do when imagination is unlimited and hard work leads to the American Dream.

If you have no pride in America, need I suggest that you go back to history textbooks that chronicle the defeats and triumphs of the men and women who came before you? – RTM

Reversing the Weaponization of Government

What began unnoticed during the presidency of Richard M. Nixon went to a whole new level after Barack H. Obama was inaugurated into office in 2009, class racism surged primarily against American male citizens deemed patriotic, Christian veterans became “enemies of the state” by a simple declaration by Obama’s Attorney General and the Obama DOJ.

When Donald J. Trump was inaugurated in 2016 the focus of all that was evil in America turned toward Trump supporters who identified as M.A.G.A. (Make America Great Again). This class racism was brought to a head on J6, 2020 with a greater level of Weaponization under the 4 years of the Joseph R. Biden presidency where Americans were hunted down, imprisoned in unmistakably horrendous conditions, many denied their inalienable rights under the US Constitution, with many forced to sign “confessions” in order to return to their already shattered lives.

Beginning on Day One of the second Trump administration the reversal of Weaponization of government began. Every agency head, secretary or director was given specific directions (orders) by President Trump to purge those responsible for Weaponization policies and actions from government.

A new office called D.O.G.E. (Department Of Government Efficiency) was created to conduct a full comprehensive financial audit of every portion of government in order to identify and stop fraud and wasteful spending.

A huge overhaul of government functions, procedures and policies became necessary in order to drain the swamp which was bigger than anyone imagined and created a backlash so huge that it spilled over into the private sector with attacks on everyone who aligned themselves with Trump’s MAGA agenda.

During the first year of Trump’s second administration were witnessing a total meltdown of common sense as elected officials, judges and organized domestic terrorists stoke the racial fires that lead to the assault of federal immigration law enforcement officers, doxing their home addresses, children’s schools, houses of worship and vehicle license plate information in order to create chaos and unrest to prevent mass deportation of illegal migrants.

Working within the confines of a 4 year window President Trump is working hard to save freedom in America, while pushing hard to make America safe, prosperous and great once again.

A recent poll determined that 18% of registered democrats do not like or love America. The left is calling this reversal “Weaponization” when in fact it is just the opposite. They would rather do anything and everything that would lead to the downfall of our system of life in America simply because it is being championed by President Donald J. Trump.

I have a message for all who feel this way – America: Love it or Leave it!

PS – Once you relocate to another country of choice, stop badmouthing the nation of your birth! – RTM
