On Trump’s Anti-Weaponization Fund

In 2019 President Donald J. Trump, his sons (Don Jr., & Eric) and the Trump Organization filed a suit against the Treasury and IRS in court over their leaked tax returns. Per the settlement the plaintiffs will receive no monetary payment or damages of any kind and the IRS is restricted from auditing their tax returns.

As part of the settlement the Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch has established “The Anti-Weaponization Fund” to provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others claiming to be victims of Weaponization and lawfare to be heard and seek redress.

A sum of ($1.776 billion) was to be paid out of the judgment fund and a quarterly report outlining who has received relief and what form of relief was awarded.

Due to the politicization and misinformation of this process the Attorney General announced the AWF will not proceed.

Critics of the fund misreport and claim that President Trump wanted to reward his followers, in particular those J6ers who attacked police officers. This claim is totally untrue.

When questioned on this matter President Trump recognized that many lives were shattered by individuals who were in DC but never entered the Capital or actively participated in the civil unrest created by a great many unnamed FBI operatives. Innocent victims of J6 were in many cases denied their protected civil rights under the Constitution.

The AWF would provide a means of financially recouping a portion of what was lost. Anyone could file a claim, but had to prove it was due to governmental Weaponization or Lawfare.

There appeared to be safeguards by the DOJ to prevent a repeat of President Obama’s “Keepseagle” case where $760 million fund to redress various claims alleging racism against the federal government over a period of decades led to distribution to various non-profits and NGO entities, including some who had not even submitted claims.

I only wish that those who objected to the AWF paying to J6ers would use the same logic as those rioters posing as ant-ICE demonstrators that attempt to prevent the detention and deportation of illegal aliens who have taken advantage of federal programs to obtain tax dollars and benefits aimed at American citizens and are now being returned to their homeland, where they so rightly belong. – RTM

Free Speech versus Organized Chaos

What we are seeing on a daily basis across our nation staged as “Anti-ICE Protests” at various ICE detention facilities are not protected free speech under the 1^st Amendment of the US Constitution. Instead of elected officials coming out against these violent gatherings, we see governors, state and national members of congress joining in solidarity to protest leaders and others participating in violence against law enforcement officers, while ordering state and local law enforcement to stand down or not respond to calls for assistance.

Left wing media outlets mislead the public with “talking points” aimed at villanizing federal law enforcement (ICE) officers as untrained, vigilantes arresting US citizens and others without authorization and disregarding their constitutional rights. Wrong!

I hear public outcries against J6ers who attacked and injured police officers and yet stoke the fires of attacks on ICE police officers doing their official duty that calls for the arrest of ANYONE who interferes with, hinders or blocks ICE officers while in the performance of their duties serving court issued deportation orders and defending against bodily attacks.

In my opinion, it is time to arrest and prosecute elected officials who violate their sworn duty to protect the public from those who have broken US immigration law by entering this country illegally and those who commit crimes of violence while being here illegally.

Any state, city or municipality claiming to be sanctuary for criminals must be dealt with in the name of public safety in accordance with the US Constitution and individual State Constitutions. For those in state governance who warn federal law enforcement to abide by state laws of face prosecution by state’s attorney generals, let me issue the same warning within the confines of the United States, abide by federal law or face enforcement and prosecution by the DOJ where governors are themselves liable to prosecution and cannot “save” you from federal prosecution.

Praying in or near abortion clinics is an act of exercising protected free speech.

Engaging Law Enforcement is NOT protected free speech. – RTM

Tax the Rich Billionaires Syndrome

The message we hear on television, radio and read on the internet from socialist leftists and others in blue cities and states across the country and then according to NY’s (D) Representative AOC “you can’t earn a billion dollars” as a message to justify this massive collection of other people’s wealth to take care of the poor and make everything okay again.

Doesn’t that sound reasonable?

Tax the super-rich and provide free food, health care for all and higher wages even “pay teachers what their worth”. I hate to say it but if the measure of a teacher’s worth is the education of their students, a great many teachers really aren’t worth that much now are they?

Most of those who cry the loudest are themselves filthy rich based on either family money or the lowly salary of an elected public official. If crime doesn’t pay, surely public service does.

Has anyone heard of the “law of the lid” where nobody rises above the level of the guy at the top? The same principle applies to a city when taxing the rich creates a mass exodus of those with wealth who simply “take their ball” and go somewhere else.

It’s like draining a cesspool until all you have left is a film on the bottom and then it all dries up and blows away. Nowhere on the planet can you stifle capitalism, take other people’s money and give to someone else who hasn’t earned or worked hard for it, and then expect everything to be hunky dory.

If that were the case, Cuba, North Korea, China, Russia and every other dictatorial nation would have been successful a long time ago. Look at Venezuela it only took roughly 25 years to take it from one of the richest countries in South America to complete poverty, where the nation’s wealth was squandered by the ruling regime.

Be careful what you wish for! Keep your eyes on the prize in places like New York City, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Portland, Oregon and everywhere that the elite electorates peddle their tax the rich scheme. If those ideas sound feasible get in line to hand over YOUR money so someone else doesn’t have to work hard for it.

When someone cries “the sky is falling”, it could be falling on you. – RTM

Memorial Day in America

While watching a televised interview of former Pastor, Army Chaplain and current VA Secretary Doug Collins he said it better than I could.  “When conducting services for a lost service member I often say we don’t celebrate their death, but that they lived. (Paraphrased)

I urge everyone not to wish “Happy Memorial Day” as the loss of one military service member (active, reserve or national guard) is not a happy occasion for the teammates, family or friends.

Among America’s current national holidays that honor our military there is often confusion over Memorial Day and Veterans Day (VA):

Memorial Day (last Monday in May), military personnel who died in the service of their country (particularly in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle

Veterans Day (11am, November 11^th), (originally Armistice Day end of WWI) 1918, to thank and honor all those who served in the military (living and dead) who sacrificed and have done their duty in the United States Armed Forces – RTM.

To Democrat Politicians Democracy Equals Power

Gerrymandering

Democrats are no longer hiding it and openly talk of gaining political power by any means necessary, including the gerrymandering of voting districts using race as the basis, which in the cases of Virginia and Louisiana were recently struck down by the Virginia state supreme court and Louisiana by the US Supreme Court as both blatantly unconstitutional.

Redistricting

For the uninformed, redistricting is required every 10 years to account for the shifting census as citizens relocate or migrate throughout the nation as is the case in Florida, where a net gain of 2M citizens from other states.

What will result as other states comply with the federal redistricting mandate without using racial bias should be natural reflection of our nation’s population?

Don’t believe the rants of angry misinformed politicians who fear losing their stranglehold on democratic voters and cry foul. They falsely claim the US Supreme Court is illegitimate for holding to the standard of the US Constitution.

What will they next call the constitution unconstitutional?

Until voters realize and understand the harm being done to their cities, states and the nation by radical politicians on the left and on the right and selective use their voting power to place responsible, commonsense politicians to protect their families and return government to providing safety and security to neighborhoods across our country, this game of political chess will stifle the American spirit and result in the death of this nation we love so dear.

Vote wisely grasshopper…… RTM

Casting Pearls before Swine

Yesterday at the White House, King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom received a royal welcome by President Trump and First Lady Melania with all the pomp and circumstance befitting the King of England beginning with the presentation of the colors (US & UK), the military pass in review, and the F35 flyover and followed by the formal welcome speech by President Trump.

King Charles then gave an impressive speech to a joint session of Congress highlighting the 250^th birthday of the United States and although the monarch is not a politician his speech touched on a number of relevant political events in our shared nation’s histories with multiple standing ovations by a fully united US Congress.

The evening gave way to the impressive State Dinner at the White House, highlighting the very real need for the formal ballroom now under construction on the grounds.

What has been researched and released yesterday was that King Charles and President Trump are 15^th removed cousins (Royalty).

It became fully apparent that congressional democrats laid aside their “No Kings” signs and trappings and gave King Charles (the real king) the honor, respect and homage they refuge to give President Trump (the real president). In true American vernacular we call that “Kissing Butt” and to what end, to a king with no direct connection to them or their positions of political power? To see this hypocrisy broadcast live around the world for all to see was truly disgraceful (as kids on a playground).

All the while left leaning media talking heads continued spewing their hateful rhetoric about President Trump as they insinuated the multiple assassination attempts on his life were in some way “staged”?

I see a number of congressional politicians posturing politically as they plan their future political careers for higher state or federal office. I urge voters to check their congressional voting record, especially as our government continues to be partially shut down for more than 70 days, causing serious national security concerns.

I will update this blog post as more information becomes available or as I feel necessary. – RTM

WHCA SHOOTER

To be clear it is not “a right” to attempt to assassinate political figures.

Last night at the Washington Hilton hotel in D.C. a single shooter shot a secret service agent and attempted to storm the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner where one prominent attendee was President Donald J. Trump and many of his administration officials, various journalists and assorted guests. The shooter was identified as Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, CA who traveled by train from California via Chicago to Washington and checked in to the Hilton the day before the WHCD event with the intent to shoot a Trump administration official. There were an estimated 2,000 persons in attendance in the ballroom at the time of the attack.

There is much discussion on the manner in which the Secret Service and partner law enforcement agencies failed to prevent this incident from happening inside the hotel. How did a man armed with a shotgun, a handgun and several knives manage to shoot an agent and sprint through the security station as he headed toward the crowded ballroom? Although several shot were fired by law enforcement, the attacker was not hit, but wrestled to the ground, apprehended and then handcuffed.

There are obvious the questions were, was security successful, since the shooter failed to gain entrance to the ballroom, or a failure for not stopping the shooters intrusion past the security station? Are there training issues or new techniques needed to prevent repeat attacks? Is it even possible to adequately secure a prominent public hotel with multiple access points and other events happening simultaneously?

 This makes what amounts to a third assassination attempt on the life of President Trump (that we know of) and there is no indication that this would be the last attempt.

There is a strong argument for the Grand Ballroom being built at the White House where multiple security features are being adopted during the planning and construction phase that could very well prevent such an attack. But will it be enough?

It is time for all the rhetoric promoting political violence to stop. Politicians, news media talking heads and public officials must abandon this harmful rhetoric that has already caused injury and death to citizens and visitors alike, plus the destruction of private, public and government facilities.

It is time for elected officials to take a stand for American values. – RTM

A Discussion of Sexual Misconduct Among Members of Congress

It’s a proven fact that allegations of sexual misconduct are a surefire way to terminate the path forward for accused members of congress. With former D (CA) Eric Swalwell “unraveling” by five allegations of sexual misconduct that not only torpedoed his aim for the California governor’s office, but drove him out of his 13 year run in the US House of Representatives.

Are there lessons to be learned here? Surely what is reported to have been an open secret throughout congress tells us more about the “powers that be” than the disgraced former congressman.

How did this happen?

How long have others known?

Why was nothing done about it?

When questioned, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed no knowledge of Stalwell’s misconduct. I find that hard to believe because she also claimed no knowledge of then President Joe Biden’s mental cognitive decline, but was the one to pull the rug out from under his re-election campaign, while he was the sitting president.

I have no proof, but strongly suspect she was instrumental in the downfall of Swalwell too. (Nothing gets past Nancy unnoticed).

There have been other members of congress Tony Gonzales (R-TX) and others who have succumbed to sexual improprieties while in office and each one simply vanish after leaving office.

And then there is the alleged “democrat sexual payment ledger” (book) chronicling names, dates and settlement payments. Who maintains that book and stores it (securely)?

What other secrets are lurking in the halls of congress?

Democrats aren’t the only ones engaged in allegations of sexual misconduct either. There have been and are today republican congressmen facing the same fate.

Why has it been tolerated? Why is it still being tolerated?

Absolute power corrupts absolutely, right?

How can an accused member of congress simply “retire” from congress? Is not public service a chosen endeavor to give back to the American people? Elected officials are elected by the people and should after doing their “duty” in good faith and honor, return to the people from whence they came.

On the other hand, sexual allegations are just that until they are tried and proven in a court of law. Sexual predators (those who go after vulnerable “marks”) must be held to a higher standard BECAUSE they used their elected office to perpetuate their crimes. – RTM

THE KING IS COMING!

It was announced that Brittan’s King Charles and Queen Camilla will be coming to the White House for a four day visit in honor of the 250 year Independence Day celebration. It’s ironic in that we’re celebrating independence from England.

With all the left’s “No Kings” demonstrations happening across the country it will be even more ironic how a real life King will be treated on US soil? Politically Americans have been extremely disrespectful towards authority. They want government out of their business, but they want all the “free stuff” offered by leftist politicians. They want lawlessness and disorder (chaos) instead of law and order enforced by government agencies under the US Constitution.

Do you know the difference between the Democratic Party and the Boy Scouts?

The Boy Scouts have Adult Supervision!

Christians in America and elsewhere understand that Jesus Christ in coming back again soon. This time it will be as the triumphant King and Judge over all the earth. We don’t know the day or the hour, but we know HE is coming, because the Bible tells us so.

So whether it’s King Charles, “No Kings” President Trump or the second coming of King Jesus – get ready.

Ready or not, here comes the King! – RTM

America the Beautiful – Love it or Leave it!

It’s unbelievable (not really) members of our own government are fully committed to its downfall because they don’t like the rhetoric of President Trump. We’ve known that since he came down the Trump Tower escalator in 2015. It’s okay not to like the way he carries himself and talks America First.

It’s something entirely different when someone actively tries to impede, resist, silence or assassinate any politician or president. When those types of comments come from the members of congress and echoed by the talking heads of the media it’s time to call it what it is – Un-American!

When individuals choose to represent our nation, they had better be crystal clear, that taking the office, wearing the uniform or publicly support – it must be with real American spirit!

To do otherwise is a disgrace!

Over the past 250 years men and women have fought and died for freedom, at home and abroad. We are the great experiment of freedom to worship God, pledge undying support for this nation where we raise our children and grandchildren to chart their own destiny.

The red and white stripes represent the original thirteen colonies and each of the fifty stars represents each individual state and together we are guardian to the territories and protectorates in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

United under God we can do anything, yet divided we have failed already.

America First does not mean America Only. Politicians tend to divide by class, party, race and age seeking to dictate the very thoughts and actions of fellow Americans.

This is wrong!

Every elected or appointed member of congress, presidential cabinet office swears an oath “to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic”. There is no room for partisan politics when it comes to the welfare and safety of Americans at home or abroad. It is un-American for politicians to choose aliens, legal or illegal over American citizens and to do so to spite the sitting president is criminal, even treasonous.

Every enlisted member of the military also swears the same oath “to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic and to follow the orders of the President of the United States and the officers appointed over them”. It is illegal for members of the military to discredit or publicly voice opposition to those in authority over them under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The only time military spears should be pointed in all directions is when on the perimeter protecting the backs of soldiers to the right and to the left, even unto death.

Members of accredited national sports teams must check themselves in the locker room and project a united front before, during and after competition. To the outside they individually are the United States of America in action, words and deeds.

Personal and professional responsibility belongs to everybody.

I challenge everyone who does not love this country or is not proud to be an American, spin the globe, pick a spot and renounce your citizenship and then leave. – RTM
