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!
There has been a lot of talk about Joe Biden being a puppet president but nobody has revealed who is in fact pulling his strings. I have a hunch but no facts to support it. I have said all along since the middle of 2020 that he is a man suffering from dementia and should have not been exploited but protected.
I recently watched the movie with Frank Sinatra called “The Manchurian Candidate” and I had forgotten the premise of the movie that an army patrol during the Korean War had been captured, brainwashed and released as “sleeper” agents or snipers to be used in the US at a later date to assassinate the projected president elect that would enable his opponent to be installed as president.
What happened during the 2020 campaign season was nothing more than a bait and switch with the DNC culling through a host of qualified, but unsuited presidential candidates to pull a “rabbit out of the hat” with Joe Biden being the best the Democrats had to offer to beat Trump.
Then pulling out all the stops during the November election to insure that a candidate who couldn’t fill a phone booth during his infrequent rallies wouldn’t even have to try because the “fix” was in and all he had to do was continue breathing.
What I’d like to know is how long did the incoming White House staff have to prepare for his day one signing of that stack of Executive Orders that not only cancelled Trumps policies, but adversely affected the very people who “voted” for Joe Biden?
What America is seeing is not the most transparent administration, but the most invisible administration in American history. Falling on the COVID excuse for hosting virtual press briefings and having the live feed cut repeatedly gives one the impression that the puppet master is not pleased when Biden acts presidential by asking “anybody have any questions?”
Americans cheered when Biden won. They cheered again with each stroke of the pen cancelling Trump. They cheered when Congress and the White House issued those $600 stimulus “crumbs” while promising more free money to be spent not on helping hurting families, but “National Treasures” and foreign treasuries not realizing that every red cent comes out of the pockets of every tax paying American. Americans cheered for a $15 per hour minimum wage; for the abolishing of college tuition debt and the cancellation of the border wall construction and the XL Pipeline construction; as the cost of living rises even faster than ever before.
Cheer if you must, while social distancing, wearing face coverings and staying at home, after all you asked for it! – I am the Real Truckmaster!
Today’s lesson came from Pastor John Mark out of the book of John, chapter 15 and in its most basic form Jesus taught that “we should love God and love others” and that is a difficult concept for “bible thumpers” to grasp and neigh impossible for non-believers.
Jesus calls us friends when we obey his commands.
Jesus said in John 15:12 – “This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.” NIV
In John 15: 17 – “So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.” NIV
As believers we too must understand who we are in Christ then we too will be able to live in the fullness of his power and with his authority over the sin that abounds around us. We will then be able to make godly decisions and intentional action for God.
Matthew 28: 18-20 NIV – 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
We are reminded in 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 NIV – “12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by[c] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.”
We must ask God to reveal to us our gift so that we can use that gift for God. Before we can begin we must establish our relationship one-on-one first with God, then with one another.
Jesus didn’t waffle or flip flop on issues of his day and neither should we. Jesus had the advantage of knowing who he was and who his Father in heaven was. He didn’t use idle words, nor seek to impress anyone. He constantly said he was about his Father’s business.
The most important decision we can ever make is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. That decision although freely made will cost you everything and will require total commitment with no room for compromise and no looking back.
A life without Jesus is no life at all.
I don’t have all the answers in life, but I know the answer and his name is Jesus! – I am the Real Truckmaster!
There’s a right way, a wrong way and in this case a democratic way. In my estimation politics is a nothing more than a guessing game. Mostly we have lawyers who studied at some of the finest institutions in the nation. Many have gone out into the real world and made their marks as attorney’s, prosecutors and in several cases as judges exacting their brand of justice as officers of the court or defending clients accused of breaking the law.
At some point in their often short careers as legal beagles they become experts in their own minds, have gotten involved with a political party then choose to go into local or state politics. Some become city council members or on the board of county commissioners before setting higher goals of county prosecutors, city mayors or even state attorney generals or governors. The ladder has many rungs and after all politicians have to start somewhere.
A number of politicians at state level run for state senate or representative offices where they have grandiose ideas of public service to fix a specific injustice or public need. When given the opportunity they move on to higher goals in the US Senate or US House of Representatives where they can do the most public good and if they aren’t careful it is here where they can also do the most public harm.
Not all politicians start out as lawyers or attorneys. Some are professionals, doctors, surgeons or successful business men and women who feel up to the challenge of guiding the nation according to the constraints of the US Constitution and good old common sense.
I have done a brief study on Congressional Committees and Caucuses primarily in the House and found a number of interesting yet confounding or perplexing things that just make a person’s head spin. For instance there are more than 262 Caucuses or Committees in the House. Some are exclusive in that one must be of a certain persuasion or political party and not only be accepted but must accept or submit to the will of the group whether it is right or wrong.
Let me give some examples there are Veterans Caucuses, some are for Democrats, others for Republicans and still others are for Veterans of certain races, yet all must have been awarded the DD-214 and some members are on active, reserve or guard duty while serving in Congress. To say the very least there is the potential for a conflict of interest for those in uniform.
There is a Caucus where non-black races are not allowed to join, yet skin color trumps race. In this caucus being a member of the Democratic Party is preeminent and fighting racism in government is their claim to fame. I’m referring to the Congressional Black Caucus of which former President Barack Obama, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Vice President Kamala Harris are among their distinguished alumni. Their current members include Representatives Waters (CA), Presley, Wilson (FL), Lee (CA) and a host of others currently in the news concerning reparations, removing statues, renaming military bases, purging Trump from government, and pushing for a $15 minimum wage, and allowing unrestricted immigration into the US, pushing for the lowering of the voting age to 16 and in many cases changing or ignoring the Constitution as being outdated. There are allegations of mishandling campaign finances by CBC members to their family members and as yet no investigation has been forthcoming.
There are members of Congress who are clearly on the wrong side of right and make a mockery of the office of public service they hold. By their actions, words and deeds their allegiance appears to be toward other nations and peoples rather than to the Constitution they swore to protect and defend.
I’ve never been a politician, nor have I visited the US Congress or seen them in action, other than on television over the past 5 years, yet I can envision a new member of Congress upon arrival having a rude awakening at how political business as usual is conducted.
One would think that every member of Congress has the welfare of their constituents, their state and that of the nation as their priority after all they were elected or appointed to serve the people of their home districts. Is that not why we have elections?
It seems that no political party has exclusive bragging rights on being on the wrong side of issues affecting the American people. I am of the opinion that while applying common sense to every political question would solve much of the dilemma we see happening today. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
What is the difference between a peaceful political party and a mostly peaceful political party? Is it simply a matter of using terms that disguise the intent of that party? Or is it just a way of passing on misinformation as political truth?
There are elected officials in Congress and appointed officials in the current administration who want you to believe that orchestrated and organized violence in the streets of American cities is a mostly peaceful protest exercising the constitutional rights of those taking part in it. Some have even said it does not constitute domestic violence statutes because the violence occurs at night.
These same people have led many to believe that peaceful rally’s by supporters of former President Trump are defacto domestic violence and constitute insurrection against Congress. Really what this boils down to is the will of the American people or the will of Congress. It’s not hard to figure out that members of Congress are elected by the American people. Therefore they are in Congress to work for the will of the American people and not the other way around.
The same holds true for the President of the United States who is the head of government, the chief executive with certain powers and responsibilities that fall on nobody else.
The Constitution established separations of powers within the government so that a Congress comprised of a Senate and a House would serve to create laws, regulate taxes and declare war against foreign powers, when necessary and protect the Constitution. Those same separations of powers within the government enable the President to develop the foreign policy, regulate immigration and protect the Constitution. The Supreme Court has the sole responsibility to determine whether or not local, state and federal laws are in accordance with the Constitution or not.
The purpose of government is to protect the American people and visitors.
It has been a long standing practice (protocol) for former presidents to live out their years quietly and allow the current president to be seen as sole leader of the United States as the Constitution provides for only one president at a time.
What we have seen over the past 5+ years amounts to a serious deviation of past norms that began during the Obama years where a covert investigation was launched to derail his predecessor and cast serious doubt on his presidency.
During the Trump years there were overt acts of resistance by state and federal government officials and blatant attempts to defame and to restrain the president. There were acts of open defiance and calls for interference of his administration, while even urging violence to those Americans who supported him by congressional democrats and often supported by congressional republicans.
We have seen former Obama administration officials meeting with and advising foreign officials on ways to circumvent US foreign policy during the Trump administration. We have heard former Obama administration bragging of how they used the power of their office to interfere with the administration of justice of a foreign government.
We have heard repeated calls of election interference by a foreign government with big money during the 2016 election, then calls of election interference during the 2020 election were deemed unfounded while dissenting voices and opinions were routinely silenced or ignored.
During the Biden months in office we continually hear his administration called the Biden/Harris administration, clearly not supported by the constitution. We have seen a massive purge of Trump’s presidential actions and executive orders without regard to the consequences felt or imposed on the American people. Clearly this is not only a most unconventional presidency as the norms of having a president be seen or speak from the Oval Office have yet to occur. It would appear that the 46th President of the United States is nothing more than a virtual president, controlled by puppet masters behind the scenes and off stage.
The mostly peaceful Democratic Party have besieged themselves with fences and armed National Guard while opening up America’s borders to anyone physically able to cross into the United States and for any reason at all.
It is time for partisan politics to cease in the halls of Congress. America deserves better! – I am the Real Truckmaster!
Let me digress back a few years when on a trip to Thailand I decided to go to a dentist in Khon Kaen. He was a very pleasant sort of guy and his dental degree was from Philadelphia, PA. With my trusty interpreter (my better half) he understood that I had some missing teeth and needed a bridge on the left side of my mouth. I don’t recall the price but he guaranteed it would last me 5 years.
I was fitted for the bridge and had to come back a few days later for the install. It didn’t take long and it seemed to fit rather nicely. I think it would have been classified as a partial. The next day we headed to Bangkok for a day of shopping in preparation for our early morning flight back home.
That evening I began having some dental pain so I went to 7-11 (yes they are everywhere) and purchased some OTC aspirin and popped a couple before bed time. The next morning the pain was back and I ended up taking some every 6 hours or so throughout the long flight home.
After getting back to Colorado Springs I called my dentist to see what was going on. By the time of my appointment the pain had stopped completely, but I had a sensation that the bridge had come loose. His exam went rather quickly and I asked about the bridge? He said no problem it was still securely attached to my teeth however one tooth had been pulled out by the constant pressure. He removed the bridge from my mouth and asked if I wanted to keep the tooth as a memento? I said good heavens no, I didn’t want anything that reminded me of the pain I had undergone in the past 48 hours. On my many trips back to Thailand I often think I should have asked that Thai dentist for a full refund. But like I said I really don’t like going to the dentist but I’ve had 8 or 9 implants over the years and in a couple of instances I’ve had to have some of them replaced.
If you can’t tell I’m one of those guys who hates going to the dentist. I don’t like the smell or the sound of grinding bone. I will say that very often you get what you pay for (at least I normally do). When I went in for my exam, prep and temporary crowns, the dentist asked if I wanted gold crowns or porcelain. I only had to entertain that idea for a second or two before I told him porcelain would be fine as I really don’t look good in gold and don’t want to be mugged at the mall so somebody can take my crowns. After finishing up on the 2 crowns that had splintered, had to be ground off today was crowning day.
Well today I was crowned twice and so I feel pretty special and maybe I could have asked for a red carpet to the car, but figured that was asking way too much. Besides I got crowned twice and didn’t even have a kingdom.
The good news – (there’s always good news) later this month I get another implant. Late last year my front lower tooth fell out. Yep that’s the one everybody sees when you smile. Not good. I’ve had to go in 3 times to get them to glue it in place for cosmetic effect. They said not to bite or eat anything hard with my front teeth or the glue will not hold. With all my dental work thus far I still don’t have a mouth full of teeth (fake or otherwise). On my left side is still that spot where my molar was holding onto that bridge before they both came out. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
There has been a lot of talking and articles written about using the 25th Amendment to replace President Trump during his 4 years in office. Mostly it has been just that – talk, that is until the General Election on November 3rd, 2020 and the days, weeks and months after when it became a disputed election. If you have followed my blogs you will note that I have posted about the 25th Amendment and about the sequence of events to be followed following a presidential election that has become disputed.
What followed the election was highly irregular, at best. One side determined that their candidate had won and the other side MUST concede even before the popular vote counts had been confirmed in each of the 50 states. In fact their candidate was not referred to as the projected president-elect, but simply “created” a non-existent office of president-elect, and was even referred to prematurely as the 46th POTUS and made the cover of newspaper and magazines long before the Electoral College votes had been confirmed and submitted to Congress.
The incumbent who contested the election was cast as simply a sore loser and urged to concede.
Then the events leading up to and occurring on January 6th, 2021 the date when the Electoral College votes were to be counted and confirmed and the president-elect officially declared during a joint session of Congress by Vice President Pence.
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 1 “in case of the removal, death or resignation of the President”.)
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.
The events and hostilities that occurred on January 6th were in fact preplanned and coordinated to coincide with the MAGA rally held on that day so as to create the impression that patriotic Americans who supported President Trump were a violent and angry mob bent on violence. According to President Trump he offered to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops insure the peace in the area around the Capital in Washington, D.C. but that offer was refused by none other than the office of Speaker Pelosi who thought it would be bad optics. I have read the reports from Capital Police who said the intrusion into the Capital began shortly before President Trump began to speak. It’s interesting to note that once reports of intruders in the Capital, legislators were moved by Capital Police and law enforcement to safety and were under no direct threat. Of the deaths attributed to the intrusion that day only one, USAF veteran Ashli Babbitt (a Trump supporter) was shot and killed by a Capital Police lieutenant. Marchers have reported that Antifa members were in fact being escorted inside the Capital by Capital Police. I watched footage as the MAGA crowd began arriving (after a 45 minute walk) they were waved into a certain area of the Capital by Capital Police. Media footage of the crowd showed both individuals and families arriving outside the Capital, far from the violent angry mob. I have seen video and still shots of Antifa members forcing their way into areas inside the Capital and making their way to Speaker Pelosi’s office and other areas not generally accessible to the public. I watched a video of individual placing objects around the outside of the Capital during the hours of darkness prior to January 6th, 2021. I have also seen the FBI photo’s asking for identification of individuals inside the Capital and I have seen other staged photos of individuals inside the Capital on January 6th and in each case they are clearly not Trump supporters. However that did not stop the knee jerk reaction by House Democrat Jamie Raskin (Maryland) who introduced House Resolution 21 urging Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. Clearly not the intent of the amendment as President Trump was fully able and functioning as President of the United States. I have read HR 21 and find its contents full of false misstatements (lies).
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 should Congress decide to go after a President who is clearly able to function as president, would they 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 the temptation be too great not to claim her rightful place as the first woman president?
Harris would then have to name her Vice Presidential candidate, to be approved by both the House and the Senate; who could then invoke the 25th Amendment to have her removed from office and the circle of misuse of the 25th Amendment could theoretically continue until the General Election of 2024.
When you open Pandora’s box and let the cat out of the bag there is no way to make it right again? – I am the Real Truckmaster!
After January 20th you would think that President Biden’s calls for national unity would usher in a new era in America where Americans would be proud of their heritage, our nation’s accomplishments and how we are seen by people around the world.
I could be wrong or maybe I just missed something. I have heard literally nothing coming out of the White House or from Congress that indicate we have been reaching or have reached national unity. It is obvious that with Trump out of the picture the only thing that I see happening are fast tracking the decline and downfall of America by the liberal left, congressional members of the Progressive Democratic Party and the cover given by the mainstream media.
It’s like the lies about Black Lives Matter while calling for the funding of Planned Parenthood who actually terminate black, white, brown and yellow lives for the convenience of American women and their “right” to choose which baby to terminate. So don’t tell me you give a hoot about any lives other than your own, or maybe you would volunteer to self-terminate as your right to choose.
I see the America that President Biden said was back is simply the failed policies of Obama being carried out as the “Biden Deal” where open borders; placating our enemies in the middle east “Iran Arms Deal” (remember Obama’s plane loads of cash to Iran?); joining the Paris Climate Accord and stopping the XL Pipeline construction that would have ensure our dominance and American oil independence; not to think of the thousands of American jobs lost due to presidential action (power of the pen).
With Trump off social media (that’s what you wanted right) the media have to actually look for news the old fashioned way, but when Trump speaks they have gained back their purpose of dissecting every word he speaks.
Yet when President Biden speaks, he’s like an NFL quarterback fumbling the ball. He has trouble connecting the dots into coherent sentences without a teleprompter really, really, really close. He comes off as one of those in an old folk’s home pretending he’s king of the world, then heading off camera for his naptime.
I’m surprised that congress hasn’t pressed Vice President Harris (like they did with Vice President Pence) to invoke the 25th Amendment and declare Joseph R. Biden, Jr. unfit to execute the office of the presidency. I figured that would have been their Plan B within 24 hours after the inauguration.
Everyone would think that a president Harris would choose someone like Speaker Pelosi to be her VP, but if I had to guess I’d say she would pick Senator Cory Booker (her old running buddy in the Senate) to insure she was doing the presidential thing better than Trump.
During the recent CPAC convention in Florida a number of GOP speakers made it clear that their goal for the upcoming 2022 and 2024 elections is to unseat quite a number of democratic legislators and upcoming legislative candidates and back an America First agenda and they overwhelmingly support former President Trump for the 2024 election. Trump himself rejected forming a new political party citing that we have the Republican Party and he is pushing for real conservatives to step forth to take the party across the finish line, possibly with him at the helm. That is good news for American conservatives who are holding onto the inspiring and refreshing words of hope moving forward.
Do you hope that the Democratic Party will magically grow a pair and develop a vision of a better America or are you content to help with the destruction and downfall of the home of the brave and the land of the free because you’ve been told you are no longer proud of being an American?
Which I leave you with this question – what are you holding onto? – I am the Real Truckmaster!
Picture of chicken coup converted into our family home “on the ditch bank” in Homedale, Idaho era – 1950s
3-1-2021
The Fort
I grew up in Southern Idaho and one of my fleeting memories was a time when my brothers and I went to that old rundown shack on Lindsey Lane. I was probably 11 or 12 years old and the oldest of 4 boys. I don’t remember what we thought it was at clubhouse or a fort, so I’ll call it “the fort”.
To us it could have been the Alamo or an outpost on the old frontier. This was the days of Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone both played by Fess Parker on television. We had moved to the city to be near dad at the VA hospital after the operation on his leg and we had lots of time to play cowboys and Indians or good guys and bad guys after watching the Lone Ranger. During those days we played outside as most kids did and our imagination was our only limitation.
I don’t think we did much to whip that place into shape, so we just sort of hung out their pretending it was our domain, when in reality we didn’t know who owned it or what it had been, most likely a chicken coup or an old shed for farm animals.
No matter but when it was time for supper or beginning to get dark we’d head for home.
Those early days in Boise, Idaho were when we were able to ride our bikes on Overland Road all the way to Meridian and back without fear of heavy traffic or anybody with ill intentions toward us. The only fear we had was each other and not doing what we were told or in a timely manner.
Our evenings might be at the Boise VA Medical Center watching movies with dad or doing crafts like making hot pads or pot holders or exploring outside around the old Fort Boise. I’ve gone back to Lindsay Lane a time or two but each time it has changed with new housing in what used to be farmland. The old house is still there although it looks different than what I remember. I haven’t been back since dad’s funeral in 2019 but I still have lots of memories from those days or from where I’d often just drive around town and seeing something that would trigger another memory. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
Your statement sir about “God’s will is of no concern of this congress” is one of the most reckless and outrageous things any man could possibly say. What you fail to remember is who gives you each breath and causes your heart to beat. It is not the place of congress or you to discount the will of God in your life, in this congress or in this nation. Your statement insinuates that you and congress are more important than the one who created you and that is absurd. Next to the will of God it should be your utmost concern that the will of the people who you represent is more important than your wishes or desires OR the “will of congress”. Congress has no will independent of We The People for whom you work.
Might I remind you of the oath you swore upon taking your place in Congress, “I, Jerry Nadler, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
And for the record H.R. 221 which was introduced in the House on January 6, 2021 is a waste of time and energy and totally unnecessary.
“An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: ‘I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I place this obligation above that to any individual, political party, or faction; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.’ This section does not affect other oaths required by law.”.
The Enlisted Oath of Office for Military Personnel needs no “adjustment” to make a politically correct congress feel safer from patriotic American’s who swore to support and defend the Constitution, not any person.
Public Law 87-751 – 5 October 1962
Enlisted Oath: I, ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the president of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
I suggest that any member of Congress who does not support and defend the Constitution above themselves or their political party affiliation should reconsider their position or resign their office and go back to their life before politics. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
I couldn’t resist when Coca-Cola sent the memo to its employees to ‘be less white’. What are they thinking catering to cancel culture? I don’t drink coke products often but when I do I drink the doctor – “Dr Pepper” and now I’ll simply resign my carbonated preference to un-cola products.
But let me go down the road of “be less white” for a moment or longer if need be. How much of the world’s population is white? Well I don’t know either but I’m sure someone can google it and come up with the acceptable answer (it’s probably only a small fraction).
Since I have been white my entire life and the only way I know to be is white without being taught to “act” white like some famous people (actors or politicians) on television or in the movies I guess I first of all must learn to jump so I can prove the myth that white men can’t jump. Next I must learn to dance. If you’d ever seen me try you’d agree that I “ain’t got the moves”.
In this way of thinking then it must be socially acceptable to apply “black face” like that governor of Virginia did when he was in college, but to tell you the truth – that’s totally ridiculous and unnecessary unless maybe you’re one of those highly famous Hollywood producers who can’t afford to hire a dark skinned actor to play a dark skinned character. In that case it may be in your best interests to leave Hollywood anyway.
There are those in Congress, the media and far leftist groups who are attempting to re-make America in their own image. They want to guilt trip everyone about the ancient practice of slavery as if their ancestors were the only ones sold into slavery. Well news flash African blacks sold other African blacks into slavery because they were of a different tribe. In Europe and throughout the Middle East human trafficking has been going on for thousands of years and most of those people are far from black.
Sorry about digressing but now I must focus on the task at hand. I have to learn to talk less white, so I must learn something I think is called Ebonics. I don’t even know where to start because for me it’s easier to say “my wife” or “my old lady” than to say “my baby momma” or anything I think is disgraceful when it comes to talking about a woman. Not all women mind you, because there are some women who are in themselves disgraceful.
The hardest will be trying to think less white. I mean yes the KKK have used white hoods, sheets and linen as symbols to strike fear into the hearts and minds of men and women. But dark skin when adorned by white clothes is not by itself fearful. In fact less white skinned people wear bright colors very well. I personally wouldn’t look good in stop-sign red or bright orange clothing. But I’m sure nobody would ever forget seeing me try to jump, dance or to the boogaloo in broad daylight or at night in bright clothing.
So I have to say sorry Cancel Culture and Coca Cola for that matter I’m happy just being the best me that I can be. In fact God created me and only I can do what he created me to do. So don’t expect me to do the bootie bump, the wrist, arm, elbow and thumb wrestle as a greeting sign. Don’t expect me to holler at you from across the room or talk to you on the phone in the men’s room while taking a dump either.
When we meet and say “Hay” or “Hi” or even just “Hello” let that suffice and don’t try to tell me what kind of a day to have. I’ll take each one as it comes. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
