Trust me I’m a Democrat!

 

You’ve heard it before, “Trust Me”! Taxes will be the new left.

 

What if I told you that I could provide a better life for you?

  • You’ll have 3 hot’s and a cot, no worries and everything will be just fine.
  • You won’t have bills to pay, food to buy, not even rent or a lease to worry about.
  • Want to go to school and get a degree? No problem and it’ll be free.
  • But you say you’ll need a phone? Not a problem, and yes – It’ll be free!

 

I’ll even throw in some extra benefits.

  • I’m going to do away with ALL petroleum-based products. Everything made out of plastics, rubber and silicone. It’ll be gone.
  • Think of saving planet earth one plastic bag at a time.
  • No plastic straws, cups, plates, forks, spoons or knifes.
  • No rubber-made products either.
  • We don’t need any stinking tires.
  • We won’t even need cars, trucks or buses. Think of all the pollution we’ll eliminate.
  • We’ll need to stop the use of fossil fuels like coal.
  • We need to save trees so we won’t have any more construction of new houses. We’ll have to stop burning wood in fireplaces because it causes pollution.
  • We’ll do away with air travel and trains.
  • There will be no automobiles, trucks or other means of conveyance because they all cause pollution.

 

There will be a slight need to increase or create new taxes to pay for this free stuff. Don’t worry about the job losses because they will be necessary. Corporations pay too little and keep too much for upper management salaries, so we’ll definitely have to increase taxes.

  • We’ll tax water coming out of the facet.
  • We’ll tax sidewalks because walking or running causes unnecessary wear and tear.
  • We’ll tax the air we breathe because everyone knows that air is a precious yet necessary commodity.
  • We’ll have to create a tax on humanity. This will cover the cost of having people milling around.

 

Under this new utopia the government will fix everything. Remember not to worry. Just trust me and everything will be alright. There will be no wars or rumors of wars because this is a single global government.

 

Yes life will be great and the best part is everything is free.

  • I’ll even give you free money for life, ok?
  • Sex is free.
  • Food is free.
  • Clothes are free.
  • Learning is free.
  • Love is free.
  • Free means Free.

 

This is complete, unequivally socialism at its finest and it’s all free. Choose and vote for me and it’s all free. You don’t have to worry about conservatism or republicans or anything because it’ll be so free that it will even be trump free. That’s right no Donald J. Trump in this utopian free world. Trust me I’m a Democrat! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Lefties Have Rights Too Unless You’re a Democrat

5-3-2019

 

Lefties Have Rights Too Unless You’re a Democrat

 

Many years ago my mom sent me a special coffee mug with a soldier polishing his boots and over the picture was “Lefties Have Rights Too”. Being the eldest of 4 boys I was the only one who was left-handed and she wanted me to feel the love…… I did until someone on the night cleaning detail knocked my cup off my desk. I sure miss that cup and I miss mom as she has been gone for almost 3 ½ years now.

 

What really ticks me off in today’s political climate is that the Progressive-Socialistic-Left Leaning Democrats have totally screwed up what it truly means to be left. It was once acceptable for one to be left while still being right, but not anymore.

 

Today’s Democratic Leftists are anti-EVERYTHING that makes sense. There is now an active movement to kill babies in the womb and even after birth; murder has become simply a post-term abortion; parents are forbidden to discipline their child; parents are not refer to the child by their gender but let the child decide if he/she/it wants a gender identity; parents are not supposed to even change a baby’s diaper without permission (maybe it will soon require written permission).

 

Today children go to school not to learn but to be indoctrinated with social-political nonsense. They are taught sexual education classes which provide visual aids and slides on differing sexual preferences and parental permission is forbidden. They are told to be tolerant of all religions, yet forbidden to present anything citing the Christian religion or to mention God or Jesus Christ at school. Textbooks cite that socialism is the way of the future in America, while touting that capitalism is completely wrong.

 

Students who make it through the public education system are sent off to colleges and universities where their indoctrination process continues and a wide range of hate groups and domestic terroristic factions have unlimited access to campuses where religions of the world are cultivated.

 

It has become the way of the left to be far-politically left to the point of calling for the destruction and removal of various religious and historical signs, banners and figures (statues) from public and private squares. There is a movement for the overthrow of the government by any means necessary. Political figures are encouraged to conduct seminars and rallies on campus, yet conservative views are not allowed.

 

The new socialist left has become one of everything’s free.  No tuition for liberal students; food, housing, medical, phones and injection sites where druggies can obtain free needles are all on the table. It’s no wonder that political parties today have nothing to offer in the real world. I see no plan of action for how to make anything better. It’s all about tearing down all that is deemed offensive to the left, while ignoring dissenting opinions. Political candidates on the left offer nothing of hope only a future if regression into something resembling South American dictatorial regimes where threats and intimidation rule.

 

Nothing is left but the right to leave the left to become morally right. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

It’s not only about the Emails

5-2-2019

 

It’s not only about the Emails

 

It isn’t about Hillary Clinton’s emails. It is about her ACTIONS and INACTION during crisis. It is about unlimited power; wrongdoing with impunity with real lives on the line; and trading up with intent to profit or gain personally. I watched a clip from one of the MSM morning talk shows where the anchor said “they’re still talking about Hillary’s emails”. It is obvious to me that the liberals on the left still just don’t get it.

 

Hillary Clinton lost her bid for the presidency to Barack Obama in 2008 when he stole the DNC nomination right out from under her and she didn’t even see it coming. Her consolation prize was becoming Obama’s Secretary of State. Even the TV show “Madam Secretary” paid tribute to her. However he show did not capture the real intrigue or intent of the real madam secretary.

 

Anyone involved in government (including Hillary) knows fully well the requirements of cyber security and the use of secure phones, computers and various communications in order to keep official correspondence and/or transmissions behind the veil of military grade security. One cannot even plug in a flash drive or portable drive without violating security protocol and having it detected almost immediately by official cyber security experts.

 

What has been coming out recently was more than the mere 34,000 emails Hillary had deleted, the official phones she had destroyed or the computer hard drives she had forensically cleansed. Destruction of government property is in itself a serious offense in itself. What occurred during her “watch” as SOS were the official communications she maintained with her boss President Obama using unofficial communications computers and possible unsecure mobile phones. This is a huge breech of protocol with violations from the Executive Branch and top administration officials. Did it only involve Hillary Clinton’s State Department? Were there other officials? It has yet to surface or come out. The national security of our nation was seriously compromised at the highest levels.

 

Many of the administration officials and high level officials were catering to President Obama, who was acting more like a famous movie star than the chief Executive Officer of the United States. So brazen were these acts that once the now ongoing investigations reach into the deep state it will become clear the extent of the compromise.

 

There are pictures of the Obama Situation Room where Obama Bin Laden was taken out while various cabinet and national security officials watched breathlessly on live video feed at the White House.

 

Yet when the Benghazi fiasco occurred there are no such pictures. It has been reported that the special USMC rapid response team was dispatched to the wrong city in Libya, while other reports indicate that military commanders were relieved for attempting to render aid and assistance to Ambassador Stevens and the US Embassy staff and security personnel in Benghazi. So much so that four lives were lost and many wounded Americans were evacuated after the US Annex had been thoroughly compromised and rendered utterly destroyed. This was a direct failure of SOS Hillary Clinton. US Ambassador Stevens was assigned by President Obama yet requests for assistance went on deaf ears in the White House and in the State Department.

 

Another failure of Hillary Clinton’s State Department was the selling of Uranium from the US to Russia under the knowledge and direction of President Obama with financial gain coming back to the Clinton Foundation. The Obama – Clinton team was akin to a pee wee league ball team, where nobody knew what to do or how to conduct international affairs in the interests of the United States.

 

This is so much more than a bunch of emails getting “lost”. Anyone using the internet for any length of time knows that nothing gets lost, ever! Emails travel through a host of servers around the globe and most are backed up continually by the hour, day, week and month. It is quite possible that Russian servers are “in the loop” of backing up sensitive information that is not protected in accordance with official protocol.

 

Hillary called Trump Supporters “A Basket of Deplorables”, yet her actions as SOS was totally deplorable, illegal and against national security. Obama called Trump Supporters people clinging to God and Guns, which in many cases is true. It is relying on God to reveal the deceitful dealings of Obama and Americans maintaining their right to keep and bear arms that insures a rogue or unresponsive government does not infringe upon the civil liberties enshrined in the US Constitution.

 

Hillary studied the grandfather of civil discourse “Saul Alinsky” while Obama put his principles into action with his community organizing skills. Neither of them seemed to take away from law school the importance of the US Constitution.

 

This is about the deep state actors within various government agencies, to include the Congress of the United States who considered themselves superior to ordinary American citizens. It is about draining the swamp and breaking up business as usual in Washington DC.

 

More importantly it is about what God is doing in the midst of this seeming chaos. He has once again taken the most unlikely to do the most important according to his will and it will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

My Take Away on the AG Barr Hearing in the Senate

5-2-2019

My Take Away on the AG Barr Hearing in the Senate

 

On 1 May 2019 I decided to watch the Senate Oversight Committee hearings where Attorney General William P. Barr was being questioned. What I saw and heard was both encouraging and disparaging at the same time on a purely partisan basis. Republican Senators were both sympathetic yet respectful while attempting to gain a better understanding AG Barr’s summation letter prior to the release of the Mueller Report on Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign and President Trump and members of his Administration. I wish I could say the same for the Democratic Senators who were disrespectful and treated AG Barr with total contempt.

 

I heard from more than one Senator who told AG Barr that his credibility had been lost in the eyes of the American people because he was only protecting President Trump in what they felt were clear violations by the Trump Campaign who were contacted by Russian agents. Almost every time AG Barr was asked a question or series of questions he was interrupted or cut off completely while answering. The contempt was so heavy one could cut it with a knife. On the other hand it was almost laughable as noted on the face of AG Barr when these Democratic Senators knew not what they were saying, although they told him several times of their constitutional authority for oversight of the DOJ and the FBI.

 

Briefly I caught a glimpse of MSNBC’s coverage of the hearing and was literally shocked when Brian Williams and other news anchors cut the audio of Chairman Lindsey Graham because they disagreed with what he was saying in his opening of the hearings, or during a portion of AG Barr’s answers. They couldn’t resist the opportunity to insert their narrative into the story instead of reporting the news as it was happening. I have not seen or will I allow main stream media elites (President Trump calls them “Fake News” and so do I) to tell me what is being said because they feel that ordinary citizens are unable to hear and understand first hand.

 

Now all that being said what is important to note is that AG Barr in preparation for releasing a completed report to the American public summarized that there was no legally binding violation of the law by the Trump Administration when it comes to Collusion or Obstruction – None! As the top legal officer in the DOJ his word is final in that matter and challenging that word would take it to the SCOTUS. That may still happen, but we will have to wait and see how this story develops.

 

Another important note is that although the Senate has congressional has oversight on the DOJ and FBI, and the AG is the authority for and in the DOJ, it is the American People who have oversight on the Congress of the United States.

 

Let me say that one more time for emphasis “We the People” are the constitutional authority OVER the Congress of the United States of America. Senators and Republicans answer to “We the People” and ultimately at the polling booth. We are not to be intimidated when letting our congressional Representatives and Senators know that they are messing up EVERYTIME they are unresponsive to OUR will and expectations.

 

We must not forget that first and foremost and even before they became members of Congress, each and every one of them was just an ordinary citizen (as we are). They chose politics. They decided to run for political office for any number of reasons, HOWEVER if they chose for any reason other than to serve the citizens of the United States without expectation of financial gain or power to be had, they probably did it for the wrong reason.

 

Public Service is never a career path to be taken for special favors or for retirement or for other benefits. It is to be done in the same way as jury duty. Go into office with specific goals or tasks that will enhance the lives of the peoples of the United States. Those goals or tasks are defined as campaign promises and should never be “pie in the sky” ideas which one is not prepared to complete. It is foolish to attempt to build a skyscraper unless you are a professional contractor or sub-contractor who has only built mud huts.

 

I saw and heard Democratic Party politicians who think they are all that and a bag of chips because they have aspirations for the highest office in the land, while actually disrespecting that office and the sitting President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. What makes me think that should one of them achieve that office they have my back? Why would I have a warm and fuzzy over their disparaging words against another citizen who is an expert in the field of law, which many of them have simply attained their law degree and smooched their way into their current political office? They must be replaced by patriotic Americans who are serving America for the right reasons, not selfish ambition.

 

The 116th Congress of the United States has become overtly corrupted by politicians who have compartmentalized the Legislative Branch within the House and the Senate. There are more than 242 Congressional Caucuses with a select few directing (racketeering, if you will) the entire body of Congress away from the Rule of Law as defined in the Constitution of the United States.

 

Within the Democratic Party there are Liberal-Democrats, Progressive-Democrats and Socialistic-Democrats all vying for control of the Democratic National Committee (presidential nominations), the Congressional Democrats (House and Senate) and wooing Democratic voters with a never ending supply of free handouts (Education, Housing, Medication, Money and more) while and in the same breaths touting the removal of many of the Rights guaranteed in the Constitution, and even advocating dropping the Constitution because it’s outdated. It is not!

 

The United States of America is a Constitutional-Republic, not a democracy or a simple republic. The Constitution was written based upon biblical principles and IS THE RULE OF LAW in America. Without the Constitutional guarantees we as a nation are nothing more than another third world country.

 

Many migrate to our shores and to our borders with the hope of a better life BECAUSE of our Constitutional freedoms and liberties guaranteed to our citizens. It is important that we ensure the safeguards are in place for our continued existence as a nation. We must protect the national integrity and security of the United States. We must be selective in who is allowed into our nation. They must come here to assimilate into our society and learn our language, laws and customs while retaining the traditions of their own heritage and tribe. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Notes on the Constitution of the United States of America

Notes on the Constitution of the United States of America

 

There is much discussion on the outdatedness of the US Constitution by legal scholars turned politicians who have gone on to become elected officials at various federal and state level positions. You should go to https://www.senate.gov/civics/constitution_item/constitution.htm and read for yourself the entire text of the Constitution of the United States.

 

The Constitution was written in 1787, ratified in 1788 and has been in operation since 1789.

 

The first three words – “We the People” – affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens.

 

Preamble

 

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

 

This should be foremost in your mind. The government of the United States does not exist for any other purpose, nor does it serve the interests of any other people. The government is not self-serving, nor serving the interests of its elected or appointed officials.

 

The Constitution was established as the Rule of Law whereby setting the tone and national standards for a more perfect Union to establish Justice while insuring domestic Tranquility while providing for the common defense and promoting the general Welfare and secure the Blessings of Liberty for the Founding Families and their offspring to come.

 

Article I created a Congress, consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives while insuring the supremacy of the people through their elected officials.

 

The Constitution assigned to Congress the responsibility for organizing the Executive and Judicial Branches of government, raising revenue (taxes), declaring war, and making all laws necessary for executing these powers.

 

That has not changed in over 240 years. Today the Congress has become inflated with complex rules, committees and caucuses that have become so politically charged that the making of laws have ground to a virtual halt. The holders of political power in Congress have become more interested in flexing their political muscles that they interfere with or obstruct the Executive branch and are unable to legislate effectively or efficiently.

 

The Constitution provides for a Presidential veto on certain legislative acts, but Congress has the authority to override presidential vetoes by two-thirds majorities in both houses (House and Senate). The Senate provides for advise and consent on key executive and judicial appointments and on approval for ratification of treaties.

 

This separation and balance of governmental powers is designed to safeguard the interests of majority rule and minority rights, of liberty and equality, and of the federal and state governments. The Constitution is more a concise statement of national principles than a detailed plan of governmental operation. The Constitution has evolved over time to meet the changing needs of a modern society and has been amended 27 times, most recently in 1992. The first ten amendments constitute the Bill of Rights.

 

Annotated Constitutions

 

The Constitution of the United States of America: Analysis and Interpretation (popularly known as the Constitution Annotated) contains legal analysis and interpretation of the United States Constitution, based primarily on Supreme Court case law.

 

The Constitution of the United States of America, S.PUB.103-21 (1994) (pdf), prepared by the Office of the Secretary of the Senate with the assistance of Johnny H. Killian of the Library of Congress in 1994, provided the original text of each clause of the Constitution with an accompanying explanation of its meaning and how that meaning changed over time.

 

One last note on the Constitution, during the initial session of the 1st Congress Representatives were to be chosen every 2 years with terms of 4 years and the Senate for terms of 6 years. Senators were divided into three classes. Class 1 = terms expired in 2 years, Class 2 = terms expired in 4 years, and Class 3 = terms expired in 6 years. This was by design to insure that it would take three legislative elections to fully change all Representatives and Senators.

 

Today’s pressing issues of national safety and security is all important in today’s society so isn’t it time for Congress to get back into the business of legislating for the American people?  – I am the Real Truckmaster!

A Discussion on the Issue of Immigration

46961255_2479555735395105_3033444399397732352_n

A Discussion on the Issue of Immigration

 

Immigration has been the lifeblood of the United States of America. Since the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, Massachusetts and founded Plymouth Colony in the new world. In the years leading up to the Revolutionary War migrants were settling along the East Coast, then moving westward into the interior. What we’ve had over the years are migrants coming here from virtually all over the globe. The admission criteria is constitutionally set by the President and can be slowed or even stopped if he so desires.

 

Although at times a problem, no President in recent history has taken serious steps to effect a radical change into the immigration laws until now. Since Congress has the constitutional authority to legislate, it only makes sense for Congress to take a serious look at the law and whether or not it should be amended. Why has it taken so long? Why is immigration still an issue?

 

The US Southern border with Mexico has been as porous as the waters of the Rio Grande which separates us. Not everyone or everything that crosses the border is good for America. Steps to tighten up the border crossings have been met with resistance, not so much with our neighbor to the south, but with our own United States Congress.

 

It is unconscionable that the President of the United States would have to task the United States Congress to take appropriate action on immigration reform. Upon taking office, one of the first acts President Trump undertook was to invite Congress to meet with him and to discuss Immigration and other matters. He said that Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) had been unconstitutional and needed to be fixed through proper legislation. He also said what was needed was Comprehensive Immigration Reform to plug some loopholes and enhance enforcement efforts with computer software and funding for a border wall.

 

What happened after than historic meeting? Nothing, well not exactly nothing, but complete and utter resistance by Congressional Democrats and Republicans. Instead of going back to the Capitol and getting to work the resistance movement began in earnest. When the President said he would not extend DACA upon its natural expiration, legal actions began to force the President to extend an unconstitutional Obama executive order.

 

Here we are 2 ½ years down the road in the Trump Administration. Our border has been under attack just as if an invading army was beating down the gates demanding to gain admittance. Thousands of migrants have forged unimpeded across Central American and North American countries in their quest to enter the United States.

 

It is apparent that a lot of financial “grease” has eased entry restrictions and allowed migrant convoys, under police escort all the way to the Tia Juana border areas outside the San Diego border crossing. It is also apparent that United States Citizens who are legal assistants or lawyers have gone into Mexico with “scripts” that instruct migrants how to respond to questions by Border Patrol and Asylum Judges in order to gain entrance under false pretenses by claiming political asylum. Not only are the migrants, but ANYONE who aids and assists them to cross the border illegally or unlawfully are breaking US Immigration Laws. The punishment can be denied entrance, imprisonment and fines. Those seeking entry can be permanently banned from entry. In some cases lawful immigrants can be deported and banned from re-entry into the US. Constitutionally the President can close down the Southern Border indefinitely or restrict entry to certain categories of persons able to enter.

 

President Trump is determined to have the Immigration Issue corrected not by executive order but as it should be done by Congress. He is also determined to construct a proper wall or barrier or enhance existing barriers to prevent unlawful crossings, drugs and human trafficking. It is the responsibility of the Government of the United States to ensure the safety and security of the American people, lawful residents and international visitors and to prevent unlawful entry.

 

When the President pleads with Congress to keep their focus on America first, he has been met with political posturing and total resistance. Certain members of Congress are set on doing the complete opposite of what they are asked or encouraged to do by the President, even when it endangers the lives of American citizens.

 

The 2020 Presidential Election is turning into a virtual who’s who of craziness as Social-Democratic candidates are literally stepping all over each other in their attempt to “prove” who has what it takes to beat President Trump and stop the drain of the swamp (which they are actively part of). Voters must take a determined stand on principle over party, safety over lawlessness, sanity over insanity and VOTE STUPIDITY OUT OF OFFICE at every level and every election. The world you save may be your own! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Cat is Out of the Bag

4-29-2019

 

The Cat is Out of the Bag

 

It’s no huge surprise if you’ve been paying attention to all the hoopla going on in the media. The call it progressivism, liberalism or socialism and at times outright communism under the banner of the Democratic Party and you don’t even have to squint to see the Dems logo is an update of the hammer and sickle of the Communist Party. The aim of the Communist Party and its doctrine is the downfall of capitalism from within and at any cost. That was how Saul Alinsky formulated his ideology which was adopted early on by Hillary Clinton (HDRC), Barack Obama (BHO) and apparently Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and other up and coming stars of the Democratic Party.

 

There is a method to their madness. Hillary studied and interviewed Saul Alinsky as her college thesis project in the early 1970s. Barack used it as his community organizing model in Chicago followed by his leap into politics where he infused it into various congressional caucuses. AOC took the concept one step further with the radical Green New Deal and is beating down the traditional House Democratic Party politics and reshaping it into her own socialistic plow shear.

 

The pillars of the Democratic Party in Congress are coming under fire from the new wave of congressional freshmen. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has been the old guard when it comes to presidential elections and its members include Uncle Joe Biden and others who are now considered completely out of touch with the new mainstream party.

 

On the fringes, for lack of a better term, is the socialist member Bernie Sanders who is just banging on the drum like the Eveready Bunny in hopes of finally obtaining the elusive DNC nomination from a field of more than 20 presidential hopefuls.

 

Darting back to AOC for a moment, although she represents New York in the House, her roots are founded in Puerto Rico. This explains her extreme hatred of President Trump and his administration. She attributes to the failed recovery efforts after the Hurricane leveled the island to Trump while completely ignoring the fact that a failed Democratic Governor and Mayor instigated major roadblocks that led to the prevention of supplies getting distributed to the people of Puerto Rico. More than a year after the hurricane pallets of bottled water was discovered still on the runway where they were off loaded to await distribution.

 

It seems that mainstream Democrats have either been forced to remain silent or have been pressured into silence in order to let these radicals on the extreme left take down the party which produced the KKK, intimidated minorities and others from full acceptance into American society with the same rights and privileges as every other American citizen.

 

It is only fitting that the left leaning tower of the democrats would crumble as it is reduced to a pile of ashes of its former glory in the days of John F. Kennedy’s “Ask not what your country can do for you” speech during his 1961 inauguration.

 

It’s ironic and no accident that the first 23 black congressmen were Republicans. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Alarm Bells Are Ringing for the Liberal Left

4-28-2019

 

Alarm Bells Are Ringing for the Liberal Left

 

Recently I’ve heard from critics concerning the direction this country is headed in their opinion we have gone over the slippery slope of politics because of the Donald J. Trump Presidency.

 

As “proof” one critic cited the following that he equates to the President Trump being unsuited to the office and because those on the liberal left and the conservative right will not concede or compromise there is an unwritten agreement to disagree.

 

What the left is hanging onto are the business failings of Donald Trump while ignoring the great many more business successes.

  • The debacle of Trump University
  • The leaked video of Trump at the bus using coarse language and talking trash politically motivated and orchestrated to throw off the Trump 2016 campaign. These efforts and others failed miserably.
  • There are the rumors of contractors going unpaid which very well could have happened due to failed business dealings and the rumors of Trump hiring illegals to work at various Trump enterprises are just unsubstantiated rumors.
  • The high profile rumor is Trump played more golf in 2 ½ years than Obama did in 8 years would be laughable if one considered the fact that Trump seems to work ceaselessly from the Oval Office, Air Force One and especially on the golf course.
  • What really throws the left is Trump promised to show his tax returns if elected. That hasn’t happened, nor should it even be discussed. There are some aspects of private life that are not open to public discussion and tax returns of a millionaire who runs for elected office should not even be an issue or it would be more appropriate (not constitutional) for all 535 elected legislators to annually post their tax returns to show how they have become millionaires while in “public service”.

One critic brought up the issue of Bill Clinton was impeached but found not guilty which is part truth and part lie. Clinton was impeached for lying to congress. Congress decided not to remove him from office which would set a really bad precedence for a sitting president.

 

Using this same failed logic saying that Trump should be impeached just because his name is Trump doesn’t make any sense. One must understand the impeachment process and even then some individuals continue the cry of impeachment.

 

  • Simply put if the House committee receives a complaint suggesting impeachment of a President must investigate the charges to see if they are warranted. If not warranted no charges are levied. If the complaint has merit then charges are brought forward and voted on by the full body of the House. If the House votes to impeach a President, he is impeached.
  • Constitutionally impeachable offenses are acts of
    • Treason,
    • Bribery, or other
    • High Crimes and Misdemeanors
      • Historically the House has defined High Crimes and Misdemeanors as
        • Real criminality – breaking the law,
        • Abuses of Power and
        • Violation of Public Trust or
        • Whatever a majority of the House considers it to be at a given moment in history.
      • The next step is to forward the articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial. The members of the Senate who become the impeachment jury will weigh the evidence argued before the judge (Chief Justice SCOTUS).
      • If found guilty of the charges of Impeachment the Senate votes to allow the President to remain or for Removal from Office.

 

The claim that “DJT should be impeached but would be found not guilty by the senate” fails in one respect, that in order to be impeached there must be verifiable evidence for impeachment. Thus far there have been no substances warranting impeachment of President Trump.

 

The critic and I agree that 2020 will be the deciding factor when voters will once again cast their vote for the candidate who will continue to drain the political swamp or drain the rights of American citizens to accommodate the influx of non-citizens who illegally enter the country.

 

The critic insists that it depends on charges to be filed by state of NY which have been a politically motivated threat by a recently elected New York States Attorney who follows the Democratic Party norms of using the Alinsky Principles to achieve a political agenda.

 

The critic has one last claim of higher cost of living lower wages which is only partially right. The cost of living rises annually, yet in the past 2 ½ years of the Trump Administration the abundance of jobs has brought rising wages to the lower percentage of workers.

 

All the 2020 Democratic candidates have introduced as their platforms

  • Higher taxes,
  • Open borders,
  • Sanctuary and free medical, food, housing and $$$ for illegals
  • Loss of Constitutional rights of US citizens,
  • While promising free stuff for those unwilling to work,
  • Eliminating educational debt for select students in select colleges and universities,
  • Voting rights for convicted felons and prisoners in jail,
  • Lowering voter age to 16,
  • Abolishing the outdated Constitution
  • Eliminating the Electoral College

 

There claims of socialistic bliss shows how truly illiterate and uninformed the left really is. As the campaign season continues to shape up there will be massive self-biting among the liberal candidates with the last one standing gaining the DNC nomination to stand up against President Trump.

 

It is my prediction that 2020 will be an easy win for America as President Trump gets another 4 years in office. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Examining The Impeachment Process

4-26-2019

 

Examining The Impeachment Process

 

Don’t you just get tired of hearing “Impeachment” coming from the House of Representatives? It has become their battle cry over the past 2+ years. To liberal House members two words must certainly be uttered together “Impeach Trump”. Don’t they ever give up?

 

What offenses are worthy of impeachment?

 

The Constitution states them as any of these acts “Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors?”

 

However it’s up to the members of the House of Representatives.

 

According to Constitutional Lawyers,

 

“High Crimes and Misdemeanors” are

  • Real criminality — breaking a law;
  • Abuses of power;
  • “Violation of public trust” as defined by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers.

 

In 1970, then Representative Gerald R. Ford defined impeachable offenses as

  • “Whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.”

 

It’s a little known fact that since 1841 over one-third of all American Presidents have either died in office, became disabled, or resigned. However, no American President has ever been forced from office due to impeachment.

 

Only four times in our history, has Congress held serious discussions of Impeachment:

  • Andrew Johnson was actually impeached when Congress became unhappy with the way he was dealing with some post-Civil War matters, but Johnson was acquitted in the Senate by one vote and remained in office.
  • Congress introduced a resolution to impeach John Tyler over state’s rights issues, but the resolution failed.
  • Congress was debating his impeachment over the Watergate break-in when President Richard Nixon resigned.
  • William J. Clinton was impeached by the House on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in relationship to his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Clinton was eventually acquitted by the Senate.

 

So why does Congress feel that its members can threaten the President with Impeachment because he doesn’t cave in to their political whims? Prolong that over 2+ years and it’s akin to the fable of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” where nobody took him seriously, even when the wolf showed up.

 

Let us take a real close and personal look at The Impeachment Process.

 

In the House of Representatives

 

If they do…

 

  • Based on their inquiry, the Judiciary Committee will send another Resolution to the full House stating that impeachment is warranted and why (the Articles of Impeachment), or that impeachment is not called for.

 

  • The Full House (probably operating under special floor rules set by the House Rules Committee) will debate and vote on each Article of Impeachment.

 

  • Should any one of the Articles of Impeachment be approved by a simple majority vote, the President will be “impeached.” However, being impeached is sort of like being indicted of a crime. There still has to be a trial, which is where the US Senate comes in.

 

In the Senate

  • The Articles of Impeachment are received from the House.

 

  • The Senate formulates rules and procedures for holding a trial.

 

  • A trial will be held. The President will be represented by his lawyers. A select group of House members will serve as “prosecutors.” The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (currently John G. Roberts) will preside with all 100 Senators acting as the jury.

 

  • The Senate will meet in private session to debate a verdict.

 

  • The Senate, in open session, will vote on a verdict. A 2/3 vote of the Senate will result in a conviction.

 

  • The Senate will vote to remove the President from office.
  • The Senate may also vote (by a simple majority) to prohibit the President from holding any public office in the future.

 

Impeachable Offenses

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

 

In his report, Independent Counsel, Starr accuses President Clinton of committing eleven acts for which he could be removed from office by impeachment.

 

In the past, Congress has issued Articles of Impeachment for acts in three general categories:

  • Exceeding the constitutional bounds of the powers of the office.
  • Behavior grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office.
  • Employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain.

 

What is perplexing is that over the past 2+ years President Trump has exercised his Constitutional authority to issue Executive Orders to curtail immigration from certain geographical areas. Congressional liberals have cried foul and a liberal justice has issued a judicial block preventing the executive order from going into effect, until the Supreme Court removed the judicial block.

 

President Trump declared that the illegal and unconstitutional Obama Executive Order on DACA would expire naturally unless Congress acted to legalize DACA through legislation. Instead a liberal justice issued a judicial block hereby ordering the President to prevent it from expiring.

 

President Trump issued an Emergency Declaration pertaining to the Southern Border situation. Rather than utilizing legislation Congress began opposing the order and calling it a non-emergency.

 

President Trump declared intent to build a wall along the Southern Border to deter illegal crossings. Rather than tackle the legislation required to fix immigration loopholes Congress decided to oppose and withhold funding for the wall. The president diverted (re-allocated) funding to accommodate construction requirements.

 

President Trump declared that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) would be stopped and replaced with a more efficient and user friendly healthcare system. Congress rather than seek legislative remedy chose to oppose the President at every turn.

 

There are a number of legislators in the House and Senate who are vocal opponents of President Trump and his efforts to administer from the Executive Office. Some have even called for the assassination of the President and the Vice President and/or their family members or Cabinet officials. This has been an ongoing problem for 2+ years.

 

Former government officials and high level cabinet members have come under recent scrutiny over a “soft coup” attempt to overthrow President Trump and his Administration. They have done so with implied impunity and under the watchful eye and organization of former President Obama.

 

As I have often said these liberal warriors vocalize accusations which mimic offenses they themselves are guilty of yet because Impeachment is generally considered in relation to the President of the United States I’ll bet these “Congressional Scholars” haven’t considered that Impeachment can be done to any of them as well. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

What are Politicians and Their Promises?

What are Politicians and Their Promises?

 

“A statesman is a politician who places himself at the service of the nation. A politician is a statesman who places the nation at his service” [Georges Pompidou]

 

As we enter into the campaign season for the 2020 Presidential Election the stakes could not be higher, or the boundaries further apart than they have become with a veritable fruit salad bowl of left-leaning Democrats opposing the incumbent Republican President Donald J. Trump.

 

The display being presented by the Democrats is reminiscent of the “show” they put on during the 2017 Brent Kavanaugh hearings for SCOTUS only this time every candidate is feeling their oats and acting as if they all downed their political spinach.

 

To help understand the process one must define the rules for the players or at least define the term “politician”.

 

Definition of politician

1: a person experienced in the art or science of government especially: one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government

2a: a person engaged in party politics as a profession

2b: often disparaging: a person primarily interested in political office for selfish or other narrow usually short-sighted reasons

As you can see from the above definitions and quotations there are politicians and there are statesmen with some very distinctive differences in their meaning. It wouldn’t surprise me if future dictionaries include a Trump-style political category.

 

political trump

delivers on political promises, results oriented, what you see is what you get, transparency in government

 

The rhetoric of the political left makes one wonder if the only requirements to run for the highest office of the land is that one promises everything under the sun, the moon and the stars no matter how outlandish and unsustainable it may be and have a burning hatred for President Trump?

 

Lawyers undergo extensive training on the Rule of Law as defined by the United States Constitution. There are classes on various types of court rulings and case law which have established precedence and stand until overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States. A student who completes the courses of study and obtains a degree must become certified by a state bar examination before they can hang up their shingle and begin practicing law.

 

The Bill of Rights (Amendments I – X)

I – Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. Protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly and the right to petition Government for redress of grievances

II – Citizens the right to bear arms

III – Prohibits government from quartering troops in private homes

IV – Protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure. Government must have a warrant signed by a judge based on probable cause

V – Citizens not subject to criminal prosecution and punishment without due process; not tried twice (double jeopardy); protected from self-incrimination (right to remain silent); establishes eminent domain ensures private property not seized for public use without just compensation

VI – Right to speedy trial by a jury of one’s peers; be informed of the crimes charged with; confront witnesses; provides the accused right to compel testimony from witnesses; and to legal representation

VII – Provides civil cases tried by jury

VIII – Prohibits excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishments

IX – States the list of rights enumerated in the Constitution is not exhaustive; the people retain all rights not enumerated

X – Assigns all powers not delegated to the United States or prohibited to the states, to either the states or to the people

 

Sadly there is no requirement for politicians before they can be elected into political office. There are classes on political science which tend to add fuel to the fire instead of how to regulate a political firestorm. A number of students receive their degree in political science and go off seeking an internship with a local political figure as their advanced trainer. Those who are successful may find themselves chosen to replace their trainer and thus begins their lifetime in politics with the prize of the White House as their goal.

 

Regardless of political office held the true test of a politician should be their political accomplishments. Have they honored their constituents by legislating fairly? Have they sought for the safety of their citizens? Or have they simply courted the voters and failed to follow through on their campaign promises?

 

Look at the political lineup for 2020 and what do you see? What appeals to your senses? What is important to you personally? Do you want to live in safety or in fear; does your family’s security determine your priorities; freedom to Worship; to hold a job of your choice; to own a home; to buy a car; to own a firearm; to own a business; or to pay your fair share of taxes? On the other hand you may be enticed with free stuff? Understand that free doesn’t mean free, not even freedom is free. The Bill of Rights does not entitle one to free food, housing, education, medical, jobs, $15 hour jobs; phones; needles; booze; drugs; or $$.

 

Listen carefully to what these politicians are actually saying. Many of them are going so far as to promising (if elected) to allow illegal aliens and terrorists into our country and into our polling places. Some have gone so far as to regulate how one is to think (must be Democrat); what to eat, drink, wear, where to live, how to act and every manner and ill-conceived notion be allowed, to include clinical assisted murder (abortion) and elder elimination – all for the almighty vote!

 

Understanding the rights of citizens as defined in the Constitution is the first step toward living the American Dream without being unduly influenced by fake news outlets or unscrupulous politicians. Living within (under the law) is necessary when becoming a contributing member of our society.

 

Equally important is that non-citizens do not have any rights under the Constitution. Persons entering the United States are not exempt because they are ignorant of our laws, but must remain in compliance in order to live and/or work here. Treating everyone with respect is not a right under the Constitution, but a commandment from Almighty God. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
