Using Every Tool in the Toolbox

Using Every Tool in the Toolbox

 

Have you ever visited the home of a home builder or a general contractor? What you find will amaze you. There could be saws, hammers and all sorts of tools for a host of specialties. Maybe even a bucket lift, a cement mixer or a sawzall. Builders are by nature creative. They have done it all and still have the tools to prove it. The really good ones have some of the really good tools too. They surround themselves with guys who can individually do a host of specialty skills like electrical, plumbing, painting and carpentry work. They know what it takes to bring the job up to code.

 

Leaders are a lot like builders. They too surround themselves with guys who know how to get things done. They know a job worth doing is done right the first time. Leaders just have a different toolbox to choose from. There are guys who are right for a certain phase in the creation or development of a specific job like a guy with a certain skill set. One person can size up a business, a department or a specific job and has a working knowledge of how to turn things around or tune it up. However it may take an entirely different person to take it to the next level. A good leader knows when to step up his game and bring in the right person and at the right time.

 

Isn’t it funny how people are always quick to criticize something they know absolutely nothing about? They are the ones who can tell you how things ought to be done, but have no experience in doing what they are telling you what they think you should do. Does that make sense?

 

Military leaders are another breed altogether. Their toolbox is full of knuckleheads, sometimes fresh out of basic or advanced training schools. They are the privates who are eager to please. They answer as they’ve been taught to say “”Yes Sergeant”, “No Sergeant”, or “I don’t know Sergeant”. Once they’ve been in the unit a while it becomes “Why me?” or “Can’t you get someone else?” and they get lax or lazy. It takes a good leader to come in and turn things around and get them re-focused and back on track.

 

The same thing is true with the President. A new president will come into office and disrupt things by bringing in new blood or in his case a new Administration. His transition team has worked closely with him to insure the right people go into the right jobs. Often it’s a combination of former military personnel going into positions dealing with the military or foreign affairs. Looking at things from the outside it may look like some of the people are simply rich people going into positions without any rhyme or reason. Yet everyone’s quick to give their assessment of the situation they have no experience with.

 

When there is a shakeup or a change in cabinet level leaders or in the White House staff the media goes crazy with all kinds of evaluations and public criticism as to why the change is being made. Personality clash with the President; disgruntled former insider tossed out in the cold without any reason; the President picked the wrong guy or gal for the job.

 

It never occurs to those naysayers that the President is just pulling another tool out of his vast toolbox. Sometimes you need a screwdriver and other times you need a sledgehammer. It’s been said that you can’t remake a first impression.

 

I can honestly say that I’ve never been President of the United States. I have however 20 years’ experience as a military leader. It is essential to come into a job knowing what the mission is for both the unit and your section. You must size up the situation, determine if you have the right men and women to get the job and the mission accomplished properly. Sometimes you have to adjust by rearranging or reassigning personnel to new or differing duties. Other times you remove people and bring in new ones. Never have had a previous section leader come back to criticize how you are handling the section. That’s why you don’t normally hear a former President criticize the current President over how his administration is leading the United States domestically or in foreign affairs.

 

I venture to say that if we as a people would keep our noses to the grindstone, focused on OUR best interests and doing what is best for ourselves and our families we wouldn’t be concerned as to whether or not our President is doing his job the way WE think it should be done. After all we have no dog in that fight, do we?

 

If we listen to all the political banter it usually comes from politicians sewing discord and discontent in an effort to gain enough votes so that they can go in and mess things up for all of us. Gone are the days when we can see our economy growing and on the world stage other nations are seeing strong leadership coming from the White House yet hear nothing but politicians telling us how messed up we are for backing such a leader as President Trump.

 

Let me leave you with this thought. This successful builder and entertainer has done in such a short time while putting up with the egocentrically challenged political left because this President has both a vision for America and the knowledge and experience to make it a reality.

 

As we approach the Presidential Election cycle for 2020 all the political bantering I hear coming from the left is simply talk with no substance. We have failed politicians who are currently in Congress and have been for some time without making a case for themselves that is backed up with any substance, yet they want us to believe that they have all the answers? Once a politician always a politician, kissing babies and making them cry by promising them the moon and what they have no intention of delivering.

 

I urge you to Vote for America! Don’t vote political party, we are better than that! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Constitutional or Unconstitutional That Is The Question?

3-16-2019

 

Constitutional or Unconstitutional That Is The Question?

 

Have you read the Declaration of Independence?

 

What about the Constitution of the United States?

 

What we keep hearing from the House, the Senate and the President are accusations of constitutionality of various decisions relating to foreign policy, national security and immigration.

 

Just a lot of finger pointing or is it more than that?

 

Who’s at fault? Senate Republicans says it’s the Democrats. House Democrats say it’s the Republicans. The President says it’s the Dems. All the Dems say it’s the President. I’m no brain surgeon (Dr. Ben Carson is) and I’m no astronaut (John Glenn was) and I’m surely no expert on politicians, but it seems to me that our entire government has been corrupted over time.

 

I venture to say that first and foremost we have a top heavy congress, who pride themselves on who is the longest serving “public servant” among them, like it’s a badge of honor or something, a career maybe?

 

Whatever happened to the “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” kind of thinking?

(Go watch the old Jimmy Stewart movie).

 

We have Senators and Representatives in the House who are older than dirt and accuse President Trump of being unable to perform the duties of the presidency? Ridiculous! Some of those faces look like they’ve used a bottle as more than a prop to keep their heads up. They speak with the authority of those who were given it by Abraham Lincoln himself.

 

There are Republicans who decry Democrats as some sort of abnormality in Congress, and Democrats who say the same thing about Republicans. Yet there are those on both sides of the isle who are united in declaring implied deficiencies as truths about the President.

 

When I took another look at our founding documents (Declaration of Independence and Constitution) I found no mention of either Democrats or Republicans? Strange those documents only referred to Citizens (The rights of Citizens to vote shall not be infringed upon)?

 

It’s obvious that the purpose of the Constitution was to limit the powers of government.  So it’s implied that for government to be of the people, by the people and for the people our elected officials must be FROM the people right?

 

All elected officials swear by an oath to honor the office and to protect and defend the Constitution and generally the oath asks Almighty God to help them to do just that. It’s a serious oath for a serious elected position in government.

 

There can be no allegiance to any other government or foreign power.

 

Members of the Legislative Branch are charged with creating public laws in accordance with the Constitution of the United States (the law of the land). How can they be effective if they don’t know or care what the Constitution says? How can they represent the people if they don’t know, haven’t read or understand the Declaration of Independence on which our nation was created?

 

In order for a law to be legal it must first be Constitutional. If a law is unconstitutional it is illegal. It must be repealed or brought into conformity with the Constitution.

 

The Executive Branch is charged with enforcing the law of the land and protecting the Constitution. The chief executor (President) determines and declares US foreign policy and it should ultimately reflect the best interests of American Citizens and American interests abroad. When his decisions are inconsistent with the Constitution, it is unconstitutional and must be repealed or brought into conformity with the Constitution.

 

The Judicial Branch has the responsibility empowered in the Supreme Court to determine whether a law or executive decision complies with the Constitution. All judicial decisions rest on whether or not there has been a violation of the Constitution. Their decisions are final, unless or until the Constitution has been properly modified or amended.

 

So rather than rely on anyone’s interpretation of what is or is not constitutional delve into what is actually written in the Constitution. Educate yourself by going to www.senate.gov and read the Constitution which sets the balance of power for our government.

 

I am tired of all the political bantering, posturing and bashing of Americans by Americans, and especially when it comes to the President of the United States (regardless of political party or personality). – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Dirty Dozen or Blue Dog RINOS?

3-15-2019

 

Dirty Dozen or Blue Dog RINOS?

 

It’s now an established fact that one dozen RINOS have turned tail and ran into the arms of Senate Dems and gave Senate Minority Speaker Chuck Schumer a big fat kiss and a fond embrace while extending the finger to President Donald Trump. While this may be an exaggeration on my part it’s entirely what is seen as treasonous by a vast majority of the American people. So let’s examine this a bit closer.

 

It’s true that the Dirty Dozen Senators Paul Rand (KY), Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Roy Blunt (MO), Mike Lee (UT), Mitt Romney (UT), Lamar Alexander (TN), Pat Toomey (PA), Jerry Moran (KS), Rob Portman (OH), Roger Wicker (MS) and Marco Rubio (FL) turned their backs on President Trump and the US Constitution.

 

Also true that the Bakers Dozen in the House, the 13 Blue Dog RINOS who fled into the arms of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi giving her a huge high five and flipping off President Donald Trump.

 

These are the Bakers Dozen Representatives Justin Amash (MI), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Mike Gallagher (WI), Jaime Herrera Beutler (WA), Will Hurd (TX), Dusty Johnson (SD), Thomas Massie (KY), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA), Francis Rooney (FL), Jim Sensenbrenner (WI), Elise Stefanik (NY), Fred Upton (MI) and Greg Walden (OR) also succumbed to the political peer pressure to turn their backs on the American people and the US Constitution.

 

Be it also noted that in the House there were 5 Representatives who did not vote for or against the House measure against President Trump’s Emergency Declaration.

 

I’ve heard one Senator’s perspective on why he voted against the declaration and he feels the president should not be allowed an end run around congress. That may be his reasoning, but I submit that it is why the President has the Constitutional authority to issues an Emergency Declaration, in particularly when Congress REFUSES to act to a recognized National Emergency crisis such as what’s happening with orchestrated and organized attacks at our national sovereignty and the safety of the citizens and visitors in this country.

 

When will this political bickering cease? When will the Congress of the United States throw aside political posturing and get to the business of legislating safety and genuine concern for the American people? Or was this just a power struggle over the purse strings so that President Donald Trump cannot divert funds toward “Building the Wall”? So what happens when President Trump VETOS HJ Res 41? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Congressional Popcorn Popping

3-9-2019

 

Congressional Popcorn Popping

 

Anyone remember JiffyPop popcorn? It came in an expandable pan that turned into a tinfoil bag of popcorn. Maybe that’s before your time. What about microwavable popcorn? Stick it in the microwave, push the button marked popcorn and wait for it to pop. What happens when you overcook your popcorn? You can try to eat burnt kernels or maybe just throw it away and start over or you can still go to the movie theatre and pay an enormous price for a huge tub of popcorn and a large coke.

 

Oh the memories of DIY popcorn, reminds me of what’s happening lately in the House of Representatives. Democratic House Speaker Nancy (I’m so important) Pelosi is trying to appease her “Green New Deal” AOC, the “We’re gonna impeach that M*$@*R” Tliab and now the “Obamas bad policies” Omar who are “hotter than a pistol” renegade freshmen Representatives now has overcooking popcorn kernels going off faster than a handful of ammo thrown into a fire.

 

I suspect that her compadres in the Congressional Black Caucus are sitting back laughing their mules off and watching madam speaker defending these undefendables who are giving the media their money’s worth of gaffes and misquotes that would be funny if we were watching it on a comedy TV show. But we’re not. It’s all coming live from the halls of Congress, where there is supposed to be common sense legislative working being done.

 

I mention the CBC, as freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar is also one of their newest members and has her part to play. If you can call playing dumb is a real part. Speaker Pelosi seems to think so, “she’s new and doesn’t understand about her words” (roughly paraphrased). I suspect Omar knows exactly what her words mean and besides dissing former President Obama, she has spoken out blatantly anti-Sematic comments meant to hurt American Jews and the nation of Israel.

 

So concerned were House Democrats that they passed a bill that condemned anti-Sematic speech and actions by everyone except Rep. Ilhan Omar D-MN. That bill is a slap in the face of every American citizen as it insinuates we are not smart enough to figure out what’s going on in Congress. I’m glad there were members of the House who stood against it anyway.

 

The age old saying “Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely” holds true today, and since the House has no intention of policing its own members (they have the Constitutional mandate to do just that), it will take an outside Congressional Ethics investigation and a Special Prosecutor with a bipartisan team of investigators to peel back the layers of this congressional onion to reveal the truth and recommend action against these corrupt legislators.

 

Someone needs to stop the congressional popcorn cooking machine (CBC) and begin by defunding this racist caucus once and for all. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Who is Pushing the Narrative?

3-8-2019

 

Who is Pushing the Narrative?

 

Aren’t you tired of hearing the same old same o coming from the House Dems, the DNC and the Democratic Party operatives in Congress and in the media (entertainment, television and print)? There seems to be quite a bit of racial and class division going around almost all the time. What we are fed is that it’s all because of President Trump, his connections to Russia, his hatred of immigrants, women and especially black people in general. Plus Trump hates the media, football players and anyone who’s not a republican like him.  Doesn’t it just make you sick?

 

We have most recently had an increase in expressions of hate and anti-Semitic speeches coming out of the mouths of our freshmen House Democrats, which appear to have the “blessing” of House Majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi with the implied sanction of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who failed to condemn the rantings of the “three amigos” (Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib) in the House.

 

What is the missing link that prevents the House Speaker from condemning this latest anti-Semitic ranting of Ilhan Omar? Is it because of her religion? Maybe condemning her would bring down the ire of Minnesota’s Somalia’s? I suspect it’s something more close to the heart of the problem than anyone realizes.

 

Anyone remember when 9th Term Rep. Steve King was stripped of all his committees by Speaker Pelosi because he said that White Supremacy and White Nationalism have become offensive terms? Who was behind the push for King to be stripped and blocked for 2 years of being put into any committees?

 

The answer to many of the questions I’ve raised points back to the Congressional Black Caucus, a House sanctioned, taxpayer funded politically charged racist organization of which Ilhan Omar is one of the newest members.

 

It was the CBC whose members have stood up for Ilhan Omar and it was the CBC who demanded that Steven King be stripped of his committees. It is also CBC members who stand up when House members are accused of ethics violations, and it is a CBC member Chair the House Ethics Committee.

 

It appears that the Congressional Black Caucus is the glue that holds many of these missteps within Congress together. They are the self-appointed “enforcers” who hold everyone else accountable, not to the Constitution, but to the CBC. Think of the CBC as an octopus with tentacles reaching out to more than 62 Congressional Caucuses and 19+ Committees, Groups and Task Forces using the full Constitutional power and resources of the Government to insure that their agenda is fully implemented to benefit those they deem worthy and at the expense of law abiding citizen taxpayers.

 

There are many talented and educated members of the Congressional Black Caucus, 55 to be exact as of the beginning of the 116th Congress of the United States. They are focused on many important issues that face our nation, yet for the wrong reasons. It is their goal to insure that black Americans receive their full and undivided attention, all the free programs they “deserve” and are even behind the effort to secure repatriations from white Americans as a debt owed to black slaves. Tell me when in this century or over the past 200 years have there been legalized slavery in the United States? How many members of the CBC have been directly involved in slavery (slave owner or slave)?

 

This is nothing more than an orchestrated attempt by the Congressional Black Caucus to shame America into compliance of their nefarious schemes, and failing that the use of racial division, intimidation and fear mongering against anyone black or white who doesn’t fall in line.

 

If Congress would have taken action in 1971 to stop this group, many of the problems we encounter in the America today would not have occurred. In fact if the CBC would channel their efforts toward defending the Constitution they swore to uphold and working across the aisle in both chambers of the legislature and with the president, just think of how much more could have been accomplished for the benefit of ALL American citizens. I’ll say it again there are many talented individuals who have become pawns of the CBC and the slanted goals of bringing down the very institution they have helped to corrupt.

 

It may be too late.

 

It may require a re-boot of the government in accordance to the Constitution of the United States so that mistakes of the past are not repeated today or in the future. It’s a shame that 55 individuals control the other 480 members of Congress. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Some are Called While Only One is Chosen

3-5-2019

 

Some are Called While Only One is Chosen

 

The qualifications for the President of the United States are spelled out in Article II, Section I of the Constitution.

  • Must be a natural born citizen of the United States
  • Must be at least age 35 and
  • Must be a 14 years resident within the United States

 

It’s easy for someone who meets those qualifications to fancy themselves in the White House and the leader of the Free World. If Barack H. Obama could become President, so could anyone right? Think of all that power!

 

The run-up to the 2016 presidential campaign cycle had GOP candidates coming out of the woodwork announcing they were throwing their hats in the ring, “running” for President. Many of the candidates were in public office at the time and had name recognition while others were corporate CEOs or professionals. All were well qualified. In fact it has been reported that there were over 100 candidates on the ballot in New Hampshire when they held their primary? That must have been quite a mess for voters to sort out?

 

I’m sure that every one of those prospective presidential candidates was thinking to themselves that they were going to win otherwise why would they run in the first place? There must be several reasons someone would run for political office – prestige; power; superiority; patriotism or just for the thrill of saying “I ran in 2016”.

 

Then there was Donald J. Trump, the candidate who threw the entire GOP process out of whack, a “wild card” with no previous political experience (held no prior public office), yet his experience with politicians made him the perfect Washington outsider because he was the “go too guy” when politicians needed campaign financing. He was a household name and photo opportunities were like putting money in the bank, just to be seen with him. He knew the players on both sides.

 

What people still don’t understand about Trump is that he doesn’t do anything unless he thinks he can win. He had been toying with the idea of running for president since the 1980s, but didn’t think the time was right. He wasn’t going to “run” for president just for the exercise and it was not a last minute decision.

 

Trump was a man who had virtually everything that money could buy prestige, and power as well as man toys galore. He had a successful business empire, a successful television show “The Apprentice” and was living the life of the rich and famous. So what compelled him into the presidency? Donald Trump felt that Almighty God had a calling on him and the time was now. It was this calling on his life and because he of how he did everything this was a race he was going to win.

 

The challenge of a Trump Presidency was not for the money, he has enough; nor was it for the prestige, he has enough; it was pure patriotism, to Make America Great Again. Throughout all the adversity of his presidency his laser-like focus is and has been on making the United States that shining city upon a hill that President Reagan so often talked about.

 

What we are witnessing is likened to a political grieving process where liberal candidates are stuck in denial that Donald J. Trump is and has been President for the past 2 years. This has brought out the dirty dealings of unfathomable proportions including a failed campaign to embarrass and derail Donald Trump from gaining the Presidency and failing that to stop his administration with constant attacks on his character, his lack of experience, his business career and now his financial success over the years are subject to criticism.

 

Had you watched the Barbara Walters special on Donald J. Trump and the Trump Empire that aired prior to the 2016 campaign season you might have seen trappings of his pride over his accomplishments in the form of trophies and newspaper articles and pictures spanning much of his adult life?

 

It is because of the Trump wild card campaign style that we see from the Democrats who feel if Trump can win, so can they in the upcoming 2020 Presidential campaign we see die hard liberals, democrats, socialists, former administration officials and former governor plus a host of congressional members flooding the Democrats stage in an attempt to upset President Trump and prevent him from a successful bid for a 2nd term. Good luck with that! Unlike politicians before him, Trump thrives on conflict.

 

Jealousy is a powerful thing.

 

What I see coming from the Democrats are beyond anyone’s wildest imaginations – socialism, fascism, communism, Islamism, liberalism and just about every ism except patriotism for the nation they all hope one day to lead?

 

American’s are a lot smarter than these so called liberals and far left fanatics give credit to. It is the liberal talking points that say Americans are not smart enough to make their own decisions and it is the duty of liberal democrats to make those hard choices for them.

 

On the other hand conservatives say that Americans don’t need government advice, handouts or pre-made decisions. American’s want jobs, fair play in the workplace and a safe environment to raise our children and grandchildren. American’s want a leader who relates to the common man, not some pie in the sky liberal socialist dictator like we see in places like Cuba, North Korea or Venezuela, where suppressed people starve and the dictators live like kings.

 

Americans don’t want a Green New Deal which is just a new label on failed worldwide policies aimed at stripping away individual freedoms and lead to dependence on failed governments. Americans don’t want political correctness which causes racial and social division.

 

Americans want common sense back in government, but less government in our everyday lives. Americans want a wall to stop drugs, human trafficking and illegal immigration and a path to citizenship for immigrants who come here based upon merit. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Putting Politics Aside

3-3-2019

 

Putting Politics Aside

 

It’s virtually impossible in today’s politically charged environment to get politicians out of the politics of making public policy. It’s like getting lawyers out of the legal system, or businessmen out of business.

 

Since when do we need anyone telling us what to think say or do? More importantly what NOT to think say or do? An important theme running through the Constitution of the United States is that we are all created equal by our Creator God, referred to by our Founding Fathers as The Higher Power.

 

The United States of America is commonly referred to as America, when in fact it is only one country on the American Continent of North, Central and South America. In that respect not all citizens of the Americas are “American” citizens. Every person born is a citizen somewhere and that should be a source of pride and the heritage of that person and their family tree.

 

There are a lot of factors that over the years have brought us to this point in the history of our nation where a minority of individuals feel it is their “god given right” to make decisions that affect the majority of people here in the U.S.A. and around the globe.

 

I’ve been to many other countries and have experienced firsthand what it means to have certain liberties taken away, or to have the freedom of speech inhibited or restrained. I’ve been to places where it is against the law to speak out loud against the reigning leader, his family or the ruling government. It’s not pleasant to think that even thoughts can lead to arrest or imprisonment.

 

I’ve been to places so steeped in tradition that change is not even contemplated, but deemed impossible. I’ve been to places where governments are often changed by force or revolution and the threats of fear and intimidation, even death is routinely carried out. What is more frightening is a place where common sense is thrown aside and the government IS the larger threat and mob rule is the norm.

 

The purpose of government is first and foremost the safety and security of its people. Life is good when people are safe and trust the government. Life is not good when government betrays its people and threatens freedom and removes liberty.

 

In the United States ours is a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

 

The Congress is called the Legislative Branch of government and has the responsibility to create law. It is made up of members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives. There is nothing written in the Constitution that determines any authorized political party in Congress. There are majority and minority leadership roles in both the Senate and the House, yet their express purpose as members of Congress is the responsibility TO the people and to the states as they assemble together to create law. What they do not know, have not learned or often forget is the fact they are NOT the leaders of our nation. Congress has become a huge voting block along political party lines and as such has become a less efficient government entity and nothing more than a “unionized shop” with threats, fear and intimidation as their primary “enforcement” tools to ensure compliance. Members of Congress are PUBLIC SERVANTS who work for and are accountable to the people. They can and will be held accountable at the polling booth on Election Day.

 

We the people choose a single leader who is the head of our government and charged to do is the will of the people of this nation. The office of the President of the United States is called the Executive Branch of our government and is responsible for enforcement of the rule of law as outlined in the Constitution.

 

The President is not the leader of the free world, nor the leader of a global conglomeration of nations. The President is the Leader of the United States of America. He speaks with the authority given in the Constitution and by the people. He represents the United States on the world stage and there is no other spokesman for this nation, unless so delegated by the President.

 

American citizens should stop voting by political party but every President should be judged by the results of his efforts for the national security of our nation, the administration of our government agencies and be assured that he can also be replaced at the ballot box on Election Day. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Congressional Black Caucus Modern Day Klansmen

3-1-2019

The Congressional Black Caucus Modern Day Klansmen

 

The term Klan was first used in 1867 referring to an organization of Ku Kluxers and a fairly comprehensive encapsulation of the Ku Klux Klan is given on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan). There were three distinct eras (1860s – 1870s), (1915 – 1920s), and (the 1950s) where the Klan has existed at different points in time during the history of the United States. The methodology of the Klan has been the advocating of extremist reactionary positions ranging from reactionary white supremacy, white nationalism, anti-immigration to Nordicism and anti-Catholicism.

 

During the 1950s and the 1960s there were entire regions of the United States that were segregated with widespread abuse, torture and murder of blacks the norm. These were highlighted by the Civil Rights protests and marches in the Deep South under Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Selma, Alabama bus protest of Rosa Parks and the intervention by President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert Kennedy with U.S. Troops to escort black children into a public school.

 

It was after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Attorney General Robert Kennedy that the ugly head of racism began forming in the Congress of the United States. It should have been seen as a reverse form of Klanism when the Congressional Black Caucus formed as an official “blacks only” Congressional organization in 1971.

 

The Congressional Black Caucus encountered one of its first tests when President Richard Nixon refused to recognize their organization and the CBC responded by boycotting his State of the Union address. That has since been the norm for the CBC to boycott the SOTU addresses of every Republican President whose political position differs from theirs. The latest target of the CBC is President Trump and his administration.

 

The CBC has grown from 13 founding members in 1971 to more than 50+ members as of 2019. One of their stated objectives is to root out racism in the Trump Administration and in government. Not only are they behind the wave of removing confederate statues and religious monuments from public and private land. The Congressional Black Caucus members have risen within the Democratic Party with power and influence to become the guiding force of today’s DNC.

 

 

Using a combination of theologies such as Principles of Saul Alinsky to pick, isolate and attack their target by any means necessary to bring down their target, they use tactics of radical Islamic extremists to attack blacks and other minorities who do not subscribe to the Democratic Party mantra. It is no wonder that these are the same tactics employed in places like Chicago, Baltimore, New York City and other cities controlled by gangs, cartels and crime families of the era of yesteryear.

 

Emboldened by their successful tactics and empowered by their positions on various Congressional Committees and Sub-Committees members of the Congressional Black Caucus have proudly donned the dress (costumes) reminiscent of the robes of the Klansmen before them. I yearn for the day when Congressional Oversight Committees and Ethics Committees look around and take notice of the racism introduced and supported by the Congressional Black Caucus and other racially biased Congressional Caucuses active in the 116th U. S. Congress. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Trump-isms and Phobias

2-28-2019

Trump-isms and Phobias

 

What is an ism? Is it just keywords? Is it triggering phrases? This wikiquote.org page defines Trumpism in the positive light.

 

Trumpism is the philosophy and politics espoused by Donald Trump.

Trumpism, broadly defined as secure borders, economic nationalism, and America-first foreign policy.

 

While this urbandictionary.com rendition casts the definition in a very negative light, as does just about every liberal writer who think they have the scoop on Trump. In their eyes there is no good to come out of Trump Tower, or from anyone who is a trump supporter.

 

Trumpism is a nearly incurable disorder when a trump supporter blames everything else when someone criticizes Donald Trump.

 

After a brief online search I found that anti-trumpers blame Trump supporters who they say blame everything else when someone criticizes Donald Trump. That is really funny because anti-trumpers or never trumpers haven’t come to terms with the fact that Donald Trump is president because he is not your run of the mill politician who can be cornered or controlled like politicians who’ve come before him.

 

The fact that Donald Trump is a successful businessman turned public official who has been doing what other politicians have been promising to do for years. Their failure is when they do not follow through on those promises which must be extremely traumatizing for as they attempt to justify their own superiority over average American voters who are not swayed by the mindless banter of those affected by TDS that ignore the accomplishments and successes of President Trump while criticizing his choice of social media. It is likened to ignoring a glass that is half full or half empty while complaining about why Trump uses a glass at all? TDS seems to rationalize anything connected with President Donald Trump as a trigger!

 

Here are some of my favorite Trumpisms:

 

  • Fake News = Dishonest Media Outlets who strive to become the news

 

  • MAGA = Make America Great Again is rebranding the nation from the weakling to a nation of strength

 

  • TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) = The insane jealousy of a man who became President of the United States

 

  • They’re after you I’m just in the way = Personal attacks are meant to silence Trump while the Constitution is being shredded before our very eyes

 

  • Build the Wall = Secure the US/Mexico Southern Border to control and enforce immigration laws and national security

 

Those who claim to possess liberal tendencies exhibited by openly opposing President Trump’s domestic and foreign policy agenda have not learned to look to what the future holds. Instead they stay bound up in the past and ignore that Trump is making our nation stronger in the face of worldwide aggression and orchestrated mass-invasions on the US Southern Border.

 

These liberal’s suffering from TDS have no one else to blame for their phobia. Their actions and their words clearly show their anarchist intent and their hate for an individual over any love they may have had for our nation that allows them to openly express their ignorance.

 

TDS is all about control of “we the people” who are insanely jealous and intent on becoming the ruling elite. The primary blocking their “objective” are American patriots who place God over country and family over self as they stand protecting and defending the Rule of Law as defined by the Constitution of the United States and based upon biblical principles. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

To Which Kingdom Do You Belong?

To Which Kingdom Do You Belong?

 

 

I’ve been awake about an hour unable to go back to sleep. I decided to check my email and to my surprise I have only one email from The Pocket Testament League (www.ptl.org), a ministry that offers daily emails called Pocket Devotions. These are scriptural topics with tidbits to think about as well as internal questions designed to keep your focus upon what the Word of God instructs us to do.

 

You can find The Pocket Testament League on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pocketpower).

 

Today’s topic is “To Which Kingdom Do You Belong” and the following scripture verse:

 

Ephesians 4:29

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

 

This hit home to me as I have been blogging for about a year and attempting to use my blogs to enlighten and inform readers on issues of personal, political and spiritual issues. Often I have become cynical, voicing my complaints, criticisms, throwing into the mix a bit of gossip and fault finding.

 

This has sort of become my writing style and until I received this devotional for today I never considered what I was doing was not pleasing to God. I did feel it was my God-given right.

 

The Questions to Ponder really hit home and made me realize the error of my ways.

 

What does your speech say about your residency? Do you belong to the kingdom of darkness or the kingdom of light? Are your words spoken to build others up according to their needs? Do those who hear you benefit by listening?

 

Four simple questions that apply to my writing as speech where I have often inserted scripture with personal opinion and lambasting others whom I felt were wrong or had wronged others. WOW! I just slapped myself in the face with my own self-righteousness. This brings me back to one of my recent writings entitled “Anger Without Sin” where I referenced another Pocket Devotional article.

 

We are created in the image of God. That’s what the Word of God tells us. We struggle daily to think with the mind of God, but because we are simply unable to comprehend or fathom beyond the surface of the wisdom of God we fail miserably.

 

My personal challenge moving forward will be to write about or choose subject matter that builds up others according to their needs. I want my writings to benefit the reader, without focusing or drawing attention upon myself. For me that will be difficult, unless I let the Spirit of God flow through my writings so that others see God the Father instead of me. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
