With the World Watching

Have you noticed that world leaders are standing up, listening and paying attention when President-Elect Trump speaks of imminent changes coming on January 20? If they believe Donald Trump will do what he says why do American politicians not?

Paraphrasing Trump who said if the hostages are not released before he takes office there will be “HE double L” to pay. Trump said it wouldn’t be good for Hamas or for anyone.

What do I see on CNN – talking heads tearing apart Trump’s every word with their “fact[less] checkers”?

How are these political pawns going to learn? Will Trump have to make examples by branding them? He is really good at that you know?

As President-Elect, Trump received the red carpet treatment in France and everywhere overseas he travels, while President Biden is placed in a corner in the back of a group photo of world leaders.

A number of the tech giants, CEOs and business leaders are falling all over Trump, donating big bucks to his Inaugural Chest. Are they hoping for special favors or simply wanting to soften the inevitable hammer when it falls?

America is tired of the same old same old business as usual from lame Democrats who know only one tired stanza “Trump = Hitler”. Not even their children (if they have any) believe it one tiny bit.

It time to say WAKE UP AMERICA, the golden age is about to explode as the blessings of God are poured out upon us. – RTM

The Electoral College – January 6^th

J6 is historically a day where the all-important Electoral College brings their ballots to be certified by Congress, thereby officially confirming the President-Elect who will then be inaugurated three weeks later on J20.

It’s akin to watching the crucial November football game on Election Day but without the scoreboard. Although reports have come forth of the winning and losing teams, the scoreboard on J6 is where the official count, for the record, is done publicly and before a live audience – the American people.

J6 is meant to showcase the peaceful transfer of power from the incumbent to the newly elected President of the United States before a joint session of congress.

Tomorrow will mark the historical anniversary of J6 2021 where the diabolical plot to remove President Trump from office just 2 weeks before Inauguration Day.

What happened on J6 2025 is exactly what would have happened on J6 2021 had not domestic terrorists aided by agents of the FBI not inserted themselves into a peaceful look at this phase of the election process.

Let us look back at what really happened on J6 2021.

After the general election President Trump contested the results due to perceived election interference in various “swing” states. This constitutional process made its way through the courts until all efforts had been expended.

On December 20^th the Electoral College cast their ballots which were certified at the states level by the governors before a copy being sent to the Speaker of the House of Representatives in Congress.

It was feared that the Electoral College confirmation process might experience resistance. Calling for a military presence at the Capitol Building was suggested by President Trump and promptly rejected by Speaker Pelosi as being bad optics.

President Trump scheduled his final rally at the Mall in D.C. where he urged his MAGA supporters to go to the Capitol and see for themselves this phase of the electoral process – the confirmation of the Electoral College votes.

Let me remind my readers that during the protests of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, MN several months prior there were demonstrations and a “mostly peaceful” BLM march that turned into full-fledged rioting, looting, vandalizing and loss of life. There had been reports of “outsiders” (domestic terrorists) being flown (transported) into Minneapolis just prior to the rioting. These outsiders did in fact overshadow BLM’s control of the march and in my opinion were the “Antifa-style” domestic terrorists causing all the havoc. It was the responsibility of Governor Tim Walz to declare a state of emergency, activate the National Guard and/or request a Federal response through President Trump. Did that occur? No it did not, at least not at first.

Back to J6 in D.C. while and as President Trump was conducting his rally on the Mall the first MAGA supporters (with families) had arrived at the Capital and were being interviewed on camera by OANN’s White House Correspondent Chanel Rion as it became evident that individuals were being moved from bus(s) to the upper level and allowed entry into the Capitol Building by Capital Police officers.

A short time later a Capital Police officer motioned and invited MAGA supporters into the lower level entrance. Upon entering MAGA saw overturned trash receptacles and scattered trash, which they instinctively began gathering up and returning the trash into the receptacles. Reports indicate that individuals were grabbing MAGA gear, flags, hats and such in an attempt to look like the MAGA crowd coming down from the rally. This is reminiscent of the “outsiders” (domestic terrorists) inserted in the Minneapolis riots.

There was violence at the Capitol Building. There was a single fatality when Capital Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd shot and killed unarmed MAGA supporter and retired USAF reserve female security police officer (Ashli Elizabeth Babbitt). The confirmation process was paused as law makers and visitors alike were escorted to safety.

Many of the official written reports and accounts of J6 are full of inaccuracies, assumptions and outright lies. The ones I have read look convincing and it’s hard to believe Americans would act this way.

HOWEVER

“What really happened at the Nation’s Capital. Before you assume these were conservatives and Trump supporters who breached security at the Nation’s Capital, please read this from an eye witness:”

By Tracy and Joe Cataldo:

“I quit FB in November because Zuckerberg & his cronies censored my opinion. I am not okay with anyone’s opinion being censored & will fight for their right to have freedom of speech until my dying breath.

I am only temporarily rejoining because we are in Washington DC. We have witnessed what actually occurred here today. What the media is reporting is such bull sh*t that I felt first hand experience needed to be voiced.

There were millions of people here, hotel usage was estimated 3 million. Joe & I walked to the front of the Capital. Antifa was escorted in. They grabbed MAGA gear right in front of us & then started shaking down the police barricade. I said to them this isn’t how Trump supporters act & was told a few expletives. A few morons were sheep & did follow, but out of all the people there, asking for justice, this is what the media focuses on. A handful of morons that weren’t all Trump supporters.

Many of you believe the media 100%. I am not going to debate your political beliefs or ideologies but we are here. We were at the Capital. This is a setup. This is a narrative the media is attempting to spin.

We had a wonderful day, in spite of Mayor Bowser turning off all cell service to the city, all Wi-Fi to the city off, closing all restaurants, grocery stores, removing all porta potties. She did everything she could to attempt to make everyone give up, we did not. The media is attempting to make today a dreadful day, it was for a handful. Our only regret was not filming the Antifa members & attempting to stop them.

Anyone who is actually our friends know we would not waste our time even engaging the diehards on the other side if we didn’t want the truth out there.

If you comment politically I am just deleting it as I am not asking for Trump support and we have well researched our stance & aren’t looking to be changed as well.”

[This was copied from an eyewitness account of what happened in DC. J6 2021]

National Guard troops were summoned to D.C. and a perimeter fence was erected around the Capitol Building – dubbed by Speaker Pelosi – “the Temple of Democracy”. As an aside note National Guard troops from various states were first scrubbed of potential “MAGA supporters” who were then dubbed “White Supremacists” and a threat to democracy as the blame was falsely placed on President Trump.

After the Capitol was secured the confirmation process was resumed and Biden was confirmed as President-Elect.

The House then began Trump’s Impeachment #2 and convened the J6 Committee who began hunting down all MAGA supporters who were in D.C. on J6 many were and are still to this day “detained” in a D.C. prison without charges, legal or religious representation, medication and/or treatment for existing medical conditions.

Subsequently released J6 and FBI files indicate that in access of “26 employees” paid or otherwise were at the J6 “event” and were there to stir things up.

January 6^th must not be forgotten as it was among the greatest miscarriages of justice perpetuated upon the American people who exercised their constitutional rights of free speech and peaceful assembly.

There have been 46 “J6s” in our nation’s history and never has there been anything like what happened 4 years ago in Washington D.C.

We know not what tomorrow brings but we do know that change is inevitably coming to America.

An investigation into J6, the J6 Committee, the FBI upper echelon and all government agencies and branches of government officials must be conducted to assertion and assign responsibility for misconduct and bring justice back to our governmental way of life beginning on J20. – RTM

The Patsy

If you’re old enough to remember the duo of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in movie “The Patsy” you’ll understand how the 2007 political version was President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. America wanted and got change like never before. It is funny how Biden was for 8 years always overseas somewhere doing whatever he was doing and Americans were none the wiser.

When President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence assumed office in 2017 it was Biden who was running his mouth about how he blackmailed Ukraine into firing the special prosecutor looking at the Barisma-Biden connection. It was because of the infamous Trump phone call that caused Speaker Pelosi to impeach Trump (the first time). It was Pelosi who unsuccessfully called on VP Pence to invoke the 25^th Amendment saying Trump was unfit to serve.

During the 2020 campaign season it was Biden who ran a very successful campaign from his basement “Oval Office” and seemed oblivious to the reality of the outside world.

American got their “morning after” wakeup call on J6 when President Trump was blamed for the attack on the Nation’s Capital and Biden became officially the President-Elect and Kamala Harris became the Vice President-Elect.

I find it unconscionable that President Biden has been let loose in the office of the presidency for the past 4 years without a word being uttered by Speaker Pelosi, any of his cabinet secretaries or members of congress about Biden’s mental fitness.

What is more disconcerting is that members of the White House Staff or surrogates appear to be making major decisions affecting national security while VP Harris has remained silent. Is she really that incompetent, unschooled on the 25^th Amendment or complicit in this hoax before the American people and the world at large?

Even now in the final 3 weeks of the Biden presidency there have been no steps taken to declare President Biden unfit to serve, even with overwhelming and supporting evidence. – RTM

On Privatizing the Post Office

What would it mean to privatize the USPS from a government agency to a private postal service? After not having given it much thought I decided explore some pros and cons of this idea.

Cons

• What I discovered is that because Trump had expressed interest in privatizing the postal service that pretty much all related articles were adamantly against it.
• The postal workers union is leaning politically left toward democrats and not republicans. That in itself tells all I need to know that it may be a really good reason all by itself.
• Many in the know think it’s just wrong.
• The Constitution says that the United States Postal Service is the only entity granted the sole authority to create post offices and create postal routes.
• Privatizing would create massive job cuts and/or unemployment.
• No private company could duplicate the widespread postal routes.
• No private company could adequately manage the equipment, vehicles and/or contractors of the USPS.
• Cannot save employee retirement funds

Pros

• Cut costs and waste
• Increase productiveness and efficiency
• Eliminate job security for unproductive or inefficient workers

These are not all inclusive cons or pros but I could see with different management and less government interference the USPS could become a very efficient organization saving enormous amounts of money and bringing costs down for all customers.

Yes it would take a bit of brainstorming and forward thinking to even tackle this monumental task but that’s what defines American Ingenuity. Not so much as reinventing the wheel, but making that wheel work effortlessly and efficiently. I say give it to DOGE and see what proposals come forth. – RTM

Truth About Immigration

Are you easily influenced by what you see, hear or experience or by what you are told happened?

What is truth? How do we know unless we are able to discern the truth? The world we live in there seem to be many sides to truth.

The reality of what was seen happening and the facts reported influence what we believe happened.

It’s often not enough that we see something with our eyes, hear with our ears or know in our hearts only to be told that what we saw, heard or know is entirely false.

Commentators tell us what we are expected to believe. It is up to us to perceive with our eyes and to recognize or understand the differences.

The hardest part is changing our minds about what we believe.

For example let us look at immigration into the United States.

We see and feel the effects of Biden’s open border immigration policy in our communities by the huge influx of undocumented and unvetted people from other parts of the world that we are told are all refugees seeking asylum from corrupt governments, gangs or threats of torture or death when in reality many of those coming into our country are the very people causing fear of torture and death to the very people fleeing.

There is a huge difference between those seeking to migrate and those seeking asylum.

Not all migrants are asylum seekers.

Not all migrants are seeking a better life, only more opportunities.

There is an increase or resurgence of diseases previously made extinct in our society due to the lack of disease or health screening.

We are told that thousands of unaccompanied minors have crossed into our nation only to disappear. Why are unaccompanied children leaving their families in their homeland, traveling alone and being handed off to “sponsors” while there are no reports of parents searching for their children?

Each request to relocate into the US is a privilege that requires commitment and obedience to the laws of our nation. Unlawful immigration is not automatic grounds to be admitted, but a violation of US immigration laws and sufficient grounds for removal from the US. The rights defined in the Constitution of the United States apply to citizens.

We are told by elected officials that their priority is to protect the rights of migrants. People expect to be treated respectfully. Aiding and harboring unlawful migration is a federal offense and can lead to prosecution, fines and/or imprisonment. – RTM

Efforts to Fundamentally Change the Nation

I remember Barack Obama after being elected and being the community organizer that he was and is today began the gas lighting of America almost immediately. To add credibility to his “mission” Obama was awarded the “Nobel Peace Prize” not for what he did but for what he had the opportunity to do as president. Obama made a statement about being close to bringing fundamental changes to our nation which came as a complete surprise and the American people had no idea that those changes would be.

The first of many changes began with the categorical division of Americans by race, ethnicity, classes and monitory ($$). We were told that the United States was an evil nation from its foundation and that certain people among us (white, Christian, Veterans, & gun owners) were enemies of democracy.

The Democratic Party has gone so far as to write a proposed constitutional change that would take the United States from being a Constitutional-Republic to a Constitutional-Democracy giving ultimate power to the very elite at the top and turning us into just another 3^rd world country.

During the 8 years of the Obama administration we began to see changes to our nation’s history with the removal and/or elimination of historical statues, monuments and even the renaming of our stateside military bases.

We witnessed the 9/11/12 attack on our nation’s embassy in Benghazi, Libya that killed 4 Americans, including Ambassador Stevens with absolutely nobody monitoring the White House’s presidential Situation “War” Room during the attack. The “cavalry” did not come to their rescue.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used unsecure emails, an unauthorized private server for classified communications with President Obama and others, and then she tried scrubbing her server of more than 34,000 emails and nobody blinked! No special prosecutor investigation. Nothing!

During the peaceful transfer of power from Obama to Trump what occurred was less than peaceful as governmental and media attacks on Trump began immediately on Inauguration Day 1-20-17. Americans who supported Trump were labeled threats to democracy. Trump administration officials and supporters were subject to discriminatory personal attacks and refused service at D.C. establishments. Trump was impeached twice during his term and accused of trying to bring down the president (himself). J6 was the final attempt to remove the sitting president and interfering with the electoral process by casting the blame on Trump and his supporters, many of whom have been rounded up and imprisoned, with many held without charges.

There is this ongoing effort to flood the country with AOC’s “Green New Deal” climate change schemes to stop fossil fuels production and distribution in an effort to bring the US economy crashing down.

There is a global effort to open national borders to allow the funneling of undocumented migrants claiming asylum from a host of nations through Mexico and Canada into the US in direct violation of US immigration law. In spite of the fact that aiding and harboring illegal migrants is a federal crime a number of cities and states are doing so claiming to protect the rights of migrants, while violating federal law and ignoring the rights of US citizens to be protected across our nation. These elected/appointed officials do not understand the predicament they place themselves personally in as they become actual lawbreakers.

America is at a historical crossroads to allow the continuation of “business as usual” politically or restore constitutional law and order? – RTM

The WSJ Bombshell Report on the Mental Health of President Joe Biden

I could begin by saying I told you so but it comes as no surprise to those outside the democratic bubble.

It was obvious to me back in March 2021 that newly elected President Biden was not at his best mentally. It was a combination of how he spoke and conducted himself presidentially. I saw it then as I do now that signs of aging had overtaken then 78 year old Biden. I blamed his wife, his family, his political party handlers and rightfully called it a crime of Elder Abuse, but greed overtook common sense and now after 4 years the Biden presidency has been fully exposed by an expose from the Wall Street Journal that summarized the handling of president with seriously declining mental health issues.

It is criminal, if not illegal, the manner in which presidential decisions were made and executive orders written and executed by a president not fully able to function in his presidential capacity. Who made those decisions, his chief of staff(s), office manager or residential custodian? Maybe an investigation into every decision, every document or every presidential action will uncover who is behind it all?

I believe it began even before the 2020 Election. Then VP Joe Biden spent much of his time at his home in Delaware and I made a comment that if someone set up his basement to look like the Oval Office and told him he had won the election, Biden would believe it. It wasn’t long before Biden was seen with that infamous photograph of him in front of his “Office of the President-Elect” (office did not exist) sign demanding that President Trump concede the election. This was way before the Electoral College had voted in December 2020 or confirmed the election on J6, 2021.

What transpired was the greatest hoax ever played on the American people. They were told that President Biden was the greatest president ever. Former Speaker Pelosi said he was a “Mount Rushmore” kind of president, just before she axed his bid for re-election.

Experts say it was “The Debate” with President Trump that made it very clear that President Biden was not in control of his faculties. It was then that the Democratic Party knew the jig was up and swapped Harris for Biden in their failed bid to defeat Trump at the polls.

What I don’t understand is how in the world VP Kamala Harris has not invoked the 25^th Amendment to seat herself in the Oval Office? There is precedence and protocol. At best she could have become the #47^th president and at worst she could have become Acting President until January 20^th. Is she not that smart? Is there anybody in Congress or the Cabinet smart enough to read the 25^th Amendment?

The USS America is a rudderless ship, with the engines running at full speed, but the captain is actually asleep at the wheel. The world around us is at war. Our neighbors are funneling undocumented migrants, drugs, gangs, human trafficking and worse into our homeland. 32 democratic states are in shambles as they must care for and feed the migrants and have no time to worry about the citizens they are supposed to protect and defend. President Biden is being kept out of public view while Vice President Harris is also nowhere to be found and what is worse – nobody seems to care!

In 31 days President Trump will be inaugurated and his cabinet picks are being vetted before the Senate. – RTM

DBSoI

The other day California Governor Gavin Newsom rallied supporters at a news conference with talk of his being DOGE before there was a federal task force. He eliminated this & merged that and did this and did that. It was very impressive. 

One thing Newsom didn’t say was how many tax dollars he saved California taxpayers or the surplus of federal COVID tax dollars his state had recently reinvested or why they didn’t get to the people who desperately needed it then and more-so now.

I award this democratic blue state governor with the prized DBSoI (Democratic State of Inefficiency) award. – RTM

Is Jesus Enough?

In this game we call life where everyone seems to be out to get as much, do as much to become the top dog in our realm or sphere of influence we begin to wonder is this it? Are we all we can be? Or is there more to life than what we’ve experienced?

I can tell you that as sad as it may seem, even in the kingdom of your mind – life is not about you.

Fame, fortune, riches and treasures beyond your wildest imagination do not fill that emptiness, that spot in your heart that is longing to be filled.

So what is life all about? Is it putting money in a collection plate, a beggar’s tin cup or giving $19 per month, getting a t-shirt or blanket that says you gave? Is it handing that street urchin a buck, a bottle of water or a hot meal on a cold day? How about giving socks, a coat or clothes to those in need or helping to bring comfort to a tortured soul? All of these may be worthy causes, but if your motivation is misplaced or your thought process is in the wrong place, the satisfaction is only temporary. People around the world are in desperate need. They always have been and always will be.

What if you could give someone something that is eternally life-saving? And what if that gift is nothing more than the introduction to life’s greatest gift from God – HIS son Jesus? Then couple that to meet both the spiritual and physical needs of that person to forever change the direction of their life?

Jesus is more than enough to meet the challenges of life’s ups and downs, but it requires placing all of your trust in him.

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world [you just as you are] that he gave his only begotten son, Jesus, that whoever [you] believes will not perish but have eternal life.”

As we approach the season of Christmas, don’t get overwhelmed by all the commercialization of buying and giving or what you may get.

Remember one thing – Jesus loves you. He always has and always will love you.

Merry Christmas – RTM

Drones Gone Wild

This reminds me of a really bad movie plot that could be called “The Attack of the Drones”. Americans are panicking big time, like the “Clown Scare” of a few years back – remember?

Folks are seeing flashing lights in the nighttime sky and wondering what they are, so they call the news, the police, local military sources and even the White House to find out what is happening. People are wondering if it’s an attack on our nation’s homeland, military style training or law enforcement action.

The answers from a DOD spokesperson really lack substance – “It’s not anything concerning public safety or national security and no there isn’t an Iranian “mother ship” just off the eastern coast of New Jersey sending drone swarms to spy on us”. When asked why the DOD isn’t doing anything to shoot them down, the answer given floored me, “We haven’t been asked:.

Another unofficial response was that only 5 government agencies are “authorized” to use lethal force on aircraft and if a citizen takes things into their own hands they could end up in jail.

 Some officials doubt the validity of these drone sightings that are occurring nightly and when a New Jersey State Police helicopter spotted one hovering below, it simply turned off its lights and skedaddled away like a speeding car from a police radar trap.

White House and DOD spokespersons have no problem telling us they have no idea what they are, where they originated but rest assured they pose no public threat.

During a press conference when President Trump was asked about the drones, his answer made the most sense of anything I’ve heard so far – “Our government knows what they are, where they come from but for unknown reasons they just don’t want to tell the public.”

I venture to say that maybe it’s because there is no adult supervision in the White House or elsewhere to tell the appropriate agencies to take a look and report to the American people what they find?

Granted anyone can go down to their local hobby shop, a big box or specialty store or go online to purchase a drone for a fairly reasonable price and fly them all over the place, but drones the size of a small car or SUV (as some have reported) might just cost a bit more.

I’ve seen a number of videos, pictures and assessments of whether these are drones or aircraft and one thing I know for sure is that the FCC requires all aircraft to use transponders that tell the type of aircraft and air traffic controllers at each major airport can “see” on their radar screens aircraft in the vicinity of air traffic patterns. The FCC also requires specific operating lights on the tips of each wing and landing lights for incoming and outbound air traffic. If there were wayward drones in or around the airspace or certain military bases there is no way they could go undetected for long.

What we don’t need is a bunch of video game expert sharpshooters or snipers aiming howitzers, cannons, or machine guns at things flying around in the night time sky, because what goes up must come down, includes ammunition (bullets).

I have no doubt that on or after January 20^th there will suddenly be “full disclosure” of these drone sightings and then the nations of the world will cease their laughing at us crazy Americans who are scared at their own shadows.

So everyone please take a chill pill. – RTM
