Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs
For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion.
I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump.
There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience.
My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as have many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!
According to what we see from Hollywood in movies and on television when American CIA operatives work behind the scenes to topple the leader of a foreign country it’s called a coup. In the movies the citizens of a fictitious country are rescued by the miraculous and valiant efforts of the brave men and women like modern day 007’s. How great is that? Isn’t that how legions are made? Believe me America has a lot of those legions in her clandestine closet.
In the 1960s the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was almost a bloodless coup, except for his blood and that of his alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
The ouster of President Richard Nixon was a coup of a different sort, one of intimidation by congressional democrats who threatened Nixon with impeachment.
In our immediate lifetime the attack on President Donald Trump was an attempted political coup that all manner of intimidating tactics were launched in order to get Trump to resign. It didn’t work. Even after leaving office those political attacks continue, to this day only now it’s to prevent him from running for office and to spoil his chances of winning a second term and even after an orchestrated assassination attempt where the secret service detail, wasn’t really secret service after all, because of attrition or mismanagement by extreme upper level managers to the level of the director that caused her rightful resignation more than a week after the July 13th event.
As fate would have it, the same democrats who attack Trump have attacked President Joe Biden and were successful in preventing him from continuing to run for re-election. They went so far as to force him to resign, not for the good of the nation, but for the good of the Democratic Party. As they have done in congress, DNC policy makers are changing the rules of engagement for selecting the democratic presidential nominee with the sole purpose of beating Trump as they cast aside 50,000 delegate votes which have already been cast for President Biden.
America is on a slippery slope politically speaking. Brow beating a senior citizen into submission used to be called “Elder Abuse”. I have long said that even putting Joe Biden in the position to run for President in 2020 was a form of elder abuse as well.
When he could have left the public spotlight gracefully having achieved the office of the vice presidency, he chose or was pushed from his bid to continue his run for the presidency only to face ridicule and disgrace while dealing with his own twilight light years, he may be broke, in debt and facing financial ruin after leaving office. That would be the ultimate elder abuse – a single use president – used and abused. – RTM
I recently watched part of Vice President Kamala Harris’s Milwaukee campaign speech and she reminded me of the snake oil salesmen of the old west pandering to her democratic audience with flowing words they wanted to hear. Some democratic loyalists said she went far beyond Barack Obama’s in 2006.
The trouble is that Kamala continues to drive a political wedge striving to divide Trump voters and her democrat base by claiming her record will stand against his record any time. Kamala will “give” – affordable, low cost or free healthcare to everyone; making the middle class financially stronger; allowing seniors the ability to retire with dignity……and I just couldn’t watch anymore as she spoke bla after bla after bla.
Kamala said the Democratic Party is looking forward, while the other party keeps looking back. I find that the only truth coming out of her mouth. Her party is look forward to fleecing Americans, and the “other” party she mentioned is looking back at the 2020 election and how Kamala and her follow democrats stole the election and then began dismantling Trump policies and the gains Americans were getting as a result of those policies.
When it comes to making our nation safe, prosperous, strong and great once again all Kamala Harris and her party have to offer is empty promises. I have heard no actionable plan thus far.
After 3 ½ years ask yourself “Am I better off now”?
Her first bla was that she is proud to have served as vice president to our great, wonderful and extra-ordinary President Joe Biden, whose accomplishments are greater in 3 ½ years than what any other president has done in 2 terms [8 years].
Remember the cat fight between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during the 2019 campaign “debates” where they each identified each other’s weaknesses and neither being fit to be president – but now the political “love fest”? Give me a break.
One of her other blas is her record (according to her) as a tough prosecutor and attorney general where she went after spousal abusers and big corporations and sexual offenders, but taking a closer look at her record it shows her on the wrong side of right almost every time, as an AG Kamala fought to keep wrongfully convicted felons from being released.
Another bla, she claims to know Donald Trump’s “type”, you know……a convicted felon. I think she was confused with her then boyfriend California democratic political “fixer”…..Willie Brown who helped her get all the way to the US Senate – (friends with benefits deal) in 2017.
And another bla (lie by omission) – her legacy as vice president was being appointed Biden’s “border czar” and having never gone down to the border in her 3 ½ years. When questioned about that specifically her flippant answer “well I’ve never been to Europe either” shows her not taking responsibility for her lack of action or that the question was even being asked.
And all of that free stuff she’s promising……I guarantee nothing is coming out of her pocket. In fact one expert said that for someone who has never cut a payroll or outside of politics held a real job – how did her net worth get to more than $12M in her short political “career” or did she marry for money?
That was just a taste of Biden’s “Build Back Better” scheme. – RTM
Recently AOC (of the squad fame) said something like “without Biden the democrats have no plan”.
After President Biden released a statement about exiting his bid for reelection he said he fully supported VP Harris and that she has a vision or plan for American that we can all believe in.
So what’s the plan?
It appears that the prospects for the future of our nation are fluid as the Democratic Party is torn between the option of supporting VP Harris or someone yet unnamed.
In the meantime the left leaning media are raising the stakes of division by broadcasting that the Trump team as poised with ads attacking Harris after Biden’s exit. What they fail to mention is how fast after Trump was shot that the Biden team continued their full on assault of Trump and even downplayed his being shot while saying nothing about the massive Secret Service security failure that could have prevented the incident altogether.
The democrats went so far as to say that Biden getting COVID (if he had it at all) is equal to Trump being shot. No it isn’t!
Obama did not come out right away to support Harris, but wants the DNC to have an “open” method of nominee selection, while congressional democrats are throwing themselves behind Harris – lock, stock and barrel.
Tomorrow (Wednesday – 24 July) the DNC committee will decide?
This is important to note VP Harris made a topic of debate the fact that the RNC VP candidate Senator JD Vance is married to a South Asian Indian-American woman (same as Harris).
Also important is what could be coming next in the political pressure campaign to remove Biden from office before the election since he folded on his bid for reelection? Will the democrats force Biden to resign, will they call for the 25th Amendment or will the republican-led House threaten Biden with impeachment over the economy, national security, immigration or ?? (That kind of pressure worked with Nixon)?
It looked like as Americans were waking up to the façade of democratic politics, but still there may be that tendency to vote along a straight party line “because that’s how we’ve always voted”.
America needs democratic support to make our nation great once again and the only way to do that is with a strong candidate with a vision for America and the backbone to stand up against all critics. That candidate almost certainly could come forward from the public sector.
I can’t wait to see what if Harris really has a plan, other than Biden’s “Beat Trump” plan. – RTM
Three years ago there was House Resolution 21, 1-11-2021, Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) calling for VP Mike Pence to use the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office with Democrats saying he was unfit to execute his duties as President.
I have long said the President Joe Biden had no business being president as Kamala Harris had no business being Vice President either. What we have seen over the past four years should have been a vindication for me and as the Democratic Party seems to be imploding from within it has only gotten worse.
With Biden’s obvious mental faculty decline and seemingly nobody steering the ship of state I wonder why there has been no push for VP Harris to pull the 25th Amendment handle which obviously needs to be pulled?
After the disastrous Biden-Trump “debate” the nation has gotten a good look at the competency of the President. The Democratic members of Congress, the former Speaker of the House, the Majority Leader of the Senate and even former President Obama have exerted so much pressure for Biden to make a decision (which had he already made).
It was after President Biden tested positive from COVID and under immense pressure that it was released to the press that Biden would not seek reelection and supports VP Harris for President. Except at this point the DNC doesn’t want her to be the nominee, but has no idea who will get the nomination.
At this moment it’s clear that President Biden won’t resign of his own volition, but it’s not so clear he can last until January 20th, let alone until November 5th. Should VP Harris use the 25th Amendment she would become the “Acting President” until Biden recovers or the election. I don’t think that has ever happened before?
It is important for us to first look at the 25th Amendment (1967) of the Constitution and what it actually says. (Keep in mind that Section 3 “Whenever the President transmits to the President pro temp of the Senate (VP Harris) and the Speaker of the House (Speaker Johnson) his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits a written declaration to the contrary”.)
Section 1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
[This amendment clarifies the Constitution’s previously ambiguous language about presidential succession, explicitly confirming the long-standing custom that when a president dies in office the vice president becomes president, rather than acts as president.]
Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
[If the vice presidency becomes vacant, the president may nominate a new vice president, subject to the confirmation of both the House and Senate. The amendment also provides procedures for replacing a president who becomes incapacitated.]
Section 3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
This resolution calls upon Vice President Michael R. Pence (1) to immediately use his powers under section 4 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments to declare that the President is unable to successfully discharge the duties and powers of his office, and (2) to transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House notice that he will be immediately assuming the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Even though Vice President Pence did not invoke the 25th Amendment it did not stop the House from presenting Articles of Impeachment to the Senate and attempting to take other unconstitutional actions against President Trump during his final days in office and in the weeks after leaving office.
I want to make a point that when Congress decided to go after President Trump who was clearly able to function as president; they did not hesitate to go after President Biden who clearly is not able to function as president? With a willing accomplice like Vice President Harris who would claim her rightful place as the first East Asian American of Indian descent and the first woman president – what would she have to lose?

Although I didn’t get to watch the entire convention what I saw was a positive message from President Donald J. Trump after accepting the RNC nomination for President and those who spoke for all American’s to unite together as one people and become active in making our country better.
After more than 9 years of being bombarded by the slanderous political lies and accusations it’s time to rid corruption from the halls of congress and the weaponized government agencies that have become a plague to the people of the United States.
The events of July 13th in Butler Pennsylvania where a radicalized and highly impressionable 20 year old male was unsuccessful in his actions meant to end the life of President Trump at 6:11 pm, and we thank Almighty God.
Even though the recent events of July 13th were not the main focus of the convention, those actions have become a major focus of the unanswered questions of how they were allowed to happen and why was Secret Service security so lax and substandard?
In hindsight it seems imperative that this being yet another flaw in the corruption in a government agency that is charged with protecting America’s upper level of highly visible leaders and their families.
Even after initially pointing fingers at local law enforcement, the head of the Secret Service said that the buck stops with her. When pointedly questioned by members of congressional oversight committees to resign, she will not and President Biden is not in a position physically to fire her. So after this critical flaw has been exposed what will happen next?
The main thrust of the convention was aimed at a new focus on who Donald Trump really is and has been throughout his private, public and political life. It was a chance to hear from those who are closest to him – his family, sons, daughters, grandchildren and family friends, so that America can see the distinction from what has been falsely said about him, his family and his ardent supporters.
We heard and saw only a window into the character of President Trump. It is that character that brought him out of a very successful private life into a life of public service to save America from politically corrupt politicians and their destructive goals of bankrupting and the ultimate destruction of the United States as a nation.
With nothing viable to offer American citizens except accusations, lies, threats and violence the Democratic Party is imploding from within. They have assaulted the intelligence of EVERY American by accusing President Trump and his MAGA movement of every atrocity and dirty dealing that they (Democrats) are doing, which is nothing more than casting blame on the innocent.
President Trump have a personal invitation to people young and old of every race, creed, and political party to join this movement to save our country.
The ball is in your court – what will you do? – RTM
Despite President Biden’s call for everyone to tone down the divisive political rhetoric he personally violated his own message by continuing to attack his political rival after the failed assassination attempt by what is termed as a lone wolf.
To make matters even worse it’s obvious that although many speakers at the RNC Convention in Milwaukee reached out to Americans of all colors, races and creeds and political parties to take a step forward to heal this country and bring back the American ingenuity that has brought us thus far over the past 250 years, nobody on the left got the memo.
MSNBC talking heads began slinging false accusations of “White Supremacy” being promoted by President Trump and JD Vance his pick for VP running mate. During their televised attack on Vance, they went after his wife who is of South Asian Indian heritage. Insinuating they are a perfect example of white domination of another race. How insulting!
I guess they didn’t look far enough into the facts of their own democratic candidate VP Kamala Harris who is herself of South Asian Indian heritage and married to a white guy.
Harris’ father is from Jamaica, right? The answer is yes, and he is of South Asia India heritage and his mother was of African decent in Jamaica.
What is more damning for Kamala Harris is the Democratic Party attempting to force out pour old Joe Biden for his apparent loss of his mental faculties?
(They couldn’t see that after he left the office after being Obama’s VP?)
I contend that the Democratic Party’s plan all along – string up Joe Biden for as long as possible, strip the “America” from the American people and bring this nation to its knees economically and financially, but to do that there is only one man in the way – a bold and stubborn man on a mission to Make America Great Again – Donald J. Trump.
When democratic politicians call us deplorables, pony soldiers and worse – Trump calls us Americans and invites us to become the solution rather than the problem. – RTM
Whether it is artificial intelligence (AI), lack of intelligence (LOI) or no intelligence (NI) select social media platforms struggle to prevent any humanization of certain political figures demonized in their social media platform and by any means necessary.
They balk when presented with the truth, their immediate and I mean immediate response is to remove posts, give warning to the poster, but not because the post violates any common sense community standards but because they have the power to exercise control over what they assume (Ass [out of]-U-[not] Me) is a sinister or ulterior motive (likes) for certain posts containing key words or phrases that are triggers for lingering TDSs. – RTM
I find it unbelievable that everyone is calling for President Trump to reign in the violence when said political violence has been aimed directly at him. It’s like a cop stopping Trump for speeding down the freeway and calling on him (demanding) that he make other drivers stop speeding.
It really does remind me of when the democrats calling for gun control kept saying that when law abiding citizens lay down their guns, the bad guys with guns will see that nobody has guns but them and they will in turn lay down their guns……..remember that?
Let me put it another way so even democrats can understand – The left keeps referring to things Trump said 8 years ago, while ignoring what Biden is saying and doing now in 2024.
After the assassination attempt on President Trump, which left one man dead and two other people in the hospital in serious condition, President Biden went on television calling for EVERYONE to tone down the violent rhetoric. He said there was no justification for political violence ever (or something close).
And then less than 3 days later Joe Biden and his campaign team continued running those despicable campaign ads calling Trump a threat to democracy. I still say Biden doesn’t even know what democracy really is?
If President Joe Biden was serious about stopping the threat to democracy he would look in the mirror and point his finger at himself and say – “STOP IT JOE!” He could then in all good conscious head for the refrigerator and get his container of ice cream and sit in front of cartoon network and nobody would know. After all it has been reported that the White House staff has been laid off since Biden is at the top of his game from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm (and doesn’t really need anyone looking over his shoulder except Jill).
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” – John 8:32
Americans have been hammered with this false narrative of what and who Donald J. Trump is and what we’ve been told from the pundits on the left is far, far from the actual truth. If you want to really know a man, look at how he treats his wife and his children. It’s real easy to think that Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he simply passed that spoon down to his children, but that’s not true.
Years ago I watched a documentary on how Donald Trump raised his children into the construction industry by taking them to a job site, turning them over to the foreman and letting them learn literally from the ground up. They each started with shovel in hand to learn and perfect basic skills. Early on Trump may have had a problem with women and marriage, but with kids he did it right.
What many people don’t know is that when he was young, Donald got into trouble and his father Fred Trump sent him away to military school for five long years (to straighten him up). It was then that he became involved in sports – baseball and boxing. He became captain of the school baseball team and learned how to stay on his feet or to get back up on his feet while boxing.
After military school Donald went to earn a degree in finance as he was very good with numbers. Then he went to work in his father’s construction business and wasn’t the first choice to take the reins from his father, but after taking over he was all about branding and exceptional workmanship, well above the average construction competition.
It was without hesitation that Donald Trump stopped a mugging in New York City by holding down the assailant until police arrived, and then proceeded on his way.
Trump made some bad business deals which were costly, but when knocked to his knees he always rose back to his feet and continued on, learning as he went. Trump saw opportunity where others saw failure and on more than one occasion he created a masterpiece out of ruin, like Trump Tower.
Trump likes to help other people and has done so repeatedly and without any thought of repayment back to him. Talk to people like actress Jennifer Hudson how Trump helped when she went through a family crisis; or that disgruntled former White House employee who had her New York wedding at Trump Tower, at no cost to her; oh there have been other examples of Trump’s random acts of kindness, just ask any of the soldiers stranded in California and Trump sent airplanes to transport them back to their military base in time for the holiday at no expense to them.
Donald Trump had dealings with some very prominent politicians always ready for photo-ops with him.
There were ups and downs in Donald Trump’s personal and professional life but nothing like the onslaught launched after he announced his candidacy for President of the United States and that ride down the escalator in Trump Tower with Melania in 2015.
Donald Trump’s life forever changed when he entered politics on the national and international scale and won the presidency and was sworn in as POTUS #45 in 2017. Trump may have thought he knew many of those politicians, but found they had turned on him furiously as he became a threat not to democracy but to their political power over our nation. That’s why draining the swamp caused a tidal wave of animosity and hatred that can be seen by those same politicians today in 2024 and in spite of battling legislators in both the house and the senate and of all political parties Donald Trump’s accomplishments: Moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem; the Abraham Accords; and building the wall were some of his most notable.
To those on the political left Making America Great Again is an affront to the Obama’s “America was never great” and sayings like “all white people are racist”.
When told of the left’s characterization of Trump as a dictator and he will come after those who attacked him as retribution, his answer “Yes on day one I’ll be a dictator and seal the wall and we’ll drill, drill, drill and regain our oil independence once again.
Donald Trump’s reaction after the assassination attempt on 7-13-2024 showed his real character and it has changed the thinking of some major political players and has caused his support to grow even larger.
Trump’s calls for unity are being met by the same lies from the left and they are so afraid and emboldened to continue attacking Trump, but Americans who don’t fall for their false claims.
Do you want to hear directly from Donald Trump about his vision for America, tune in to Fox News’ coverage of the RNC Convention in Milwaukee tomorrow night 7-17-2024.
Whether you like, love or hate Donald J. Trump be assured that Almighty God is in control. – RTM
The 2024 RNC Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is on day two and in the aftermath of the Assassination Attempt on President Donald Trump who picked Senator JD Vance as his VP running mate, today’s day two theme “Make America Safe Again” should chart a new course for America with a renewed focus on keeping our president(s) safe again.
While Trump’s Clarian call for unity was coming out of his mouth, shots rang out as a lone would be assassins bullets creased Trump’s right ear, killed a firefighter and wounded two MAGA attendees in Butler, Pennsylvania. Shortly after this tragic event President Biden said everyone needs to tone down the destructive rhetoric. Barely 24 hours later, had Biden forgotten his own words as he launched into Trump and his followers as threats to democracy?
The 2024 DNC Convention is set to be held in Chicago in August with the theme “Decision 2024”. It truly will be a time for decisions over who will be better for the safety and security of our nation. Will it be President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris or an unknown X factor candidate like RFK Jr?
I remember back in 2006 when Senator Barack Obama stealthily took the DNC nomination right out from under Senator Hillary Clinton and never looked back.
In 2012 it was Senator John McCain who introduced Governor Sara Palin as his VP running mate and the politicians kept comparing President Barack Obama with Governor Sara Palin (Not Senator John McCain).
In 2016 the tables turned and Senator Clinton aced out Senator Bernie Sanders for the DNC nomination and it was Donald Trump who introduced Governor Mike Pence as his VP running mate.
In 2020 it President Donald Trump who ran with VP Mike Pence and it was Vice President Joe Biden who introduced Senator Kamala Harris as his VP running mate.
2024 appears to have battle lines drawn for at least one debate between VP Kamala Harris and VP candidate Senator JD Vance. Let them be judged as they stand on their political records – the good, the bad and the ugly. – RTM
