God Uses People

I hear folks saying that God couldn’t use Trump because of his background or lifestyle or because of the things he has done in the past. Well there is only one who walked the earth without sin – Jesus.

Let’s look back at the only man made in the perfect likeness of God was Adam. Adam walked in the garden and talked with God daily. He was the first human and he had nothing to do except name the animals that God created because he felt Adam needed a helper and there was no sin. As Adam slept God took a rib and created woman. Adam called her Eve and together they walked and talked with God daily. Life was simple, eat, sleep and walk with God. There was no sin to separate them from God. God did tell them not to eat from the tree of knowledge or the tree of life. That was it. When the serpent entered the garden he first tempted Eve to eat from the fruit of the tree of knowledge telling her she would not surely die, but would become like God. Eve ate the fruit and gave Adam who ate also. It was then that when they heard God coming they hid themselves because they were naked and their sin separated them from God. God asked why they were hiding. They said they were naked and afraid. God asked who told them they were naked. Adam said it was the woman you gave me. Eve said it was the serpent who told me I would not surely die. And the serpent said, who me?

An over simplification – maybe, but we can see that from the beginning there have been ordinary men whom God uses to do extra-ordinary things throughout history.

Noah was an old man when God said build a boat. He did while his neighbors mocked and scoffed at him because they did not see a need for a boat, there was even no water nearby. After the animals came in and God sealed the door shut. It began to rain and they must have sensed that it was better to be in the boat, but they could not get inside.

Moses was an old man when God gave him the stone tablets – The 10 Commandments. Maybe there were more but one stone was dropped and shattered. Who is to know if there were more instructions from God for mankind?

Abraham was an old man and Sarah was an old woman with no children when God promised him so many descendants they could not be counted. Abraham believed God and his name became Israel.

God always keeps his promises. After the flood God gave us a rainbow to remind us that he would never again flood the earth.

Over time there have been many who conquered the known world in the name of God. Who is to say that they were instructed by God to do so? I think rather that God used ungodly men for his purposes.

As the world became populated there were missionaries and preachers who traveled the highways and byways sharing the good news of Jesus who is the Christ, the only begotten son of God, who lived without sin, died on the cross at Calvary, was buried in a tomb and rose again on the third day to take away the sins of the entire world. They preached that Jesus would come again one day and we must be ready and alert.

I believe that God tugged at the heartstrings of many to come to this land we call home – America. They came on ships and on foot to settle in a land where they could worship God without interference. There were many ordinary men and women who settled this land, and fought for the cause of freedom. We only hear of a few of those who came before us. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and so many others chosen to make an impact on our nation and the world around us, so why not Donald Trump?

I can tell you that God is fully in control and he places rulers and leaders in positions of authority to accomplish HIS plan that will bring Glory and Honor to him alone. I have watched as one man became obedient when God called his name. He wasn’t a Billy Graham or the religious-type and he knew of God, like so many today. Yet when he was called he said Yes Lord (not necessarily with those words).

What I have seen over the past 4 years confirms in my spirit that this man is the perfect man for the job God has called him to do. Our nation has risen to the point that corruption on many levels could not be stopped, controlled or turned off unless it was by Almighty God, using a man whom many have deemed unqualified and unsuited.

I am reminded of the young boy David who faced and slew the giant with a slingshot and a single stone, yet it was God who guided the stone on target and killed Goliath. When God calls, he always prepares the way and he has promised never to leave us nor forsake us. In fact being in the perfect will of God is the safest place to be.

I believe that God has watched as wickedness and unrighteousness have increased in America and around the world. He has heard our cries, our prayers and chosen to act as he has always done before taking the unknown and undesirable human beings to accomplish his purpose so that everyone knows that it was God, not man who receives the glory. So when you mock and bash God’s anointed you are really rebelling against Almighty God and is simply not advisable. There will come a time when God may reveal his plan, but in the meantime maybe we should be calling out to God on our knees and asking for his guidance in these trying times. 2020 has changed the world we live in such a way that it may never revert back to the pre-2020 normal, much as 2001 was changed on 9/11. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Putting COVID in the Rearview Mirror

Like you I’d like to put this Covid pandemic behind me and in fact to do that maybe we should put it into a different kind of perspective? I have a hard time with people telling me that COVID is the deadly disaster that it has become.

Most of what I’m saying is not new. There are hundreds of biological laboratories here in the United States and they have very specific functions in the world of virology. Some study toxins, others vaccines and some may even be searching for the cure of cancer and/or many other diseases.

Do you know why doctors and nurses are always changing their gloves, gowns and masks after attending patients in a hospital setting? Is it to make the patient feel better? Not hardly! It is to prevent or control the spread of germs from one patient to another.

Do you know why Level 4 Biochemical Laboratories have an isolation decontamination room with airlock doors and possibly separate purified oxygen generator systems? Or why someone coming in must strip outside clothing and change into clean gowns that resemble space suits worn by astronauts? Or why when they leave the lab, they must go through the process to include leaving the contaminated clothing, showering and changing into street clothes before exiting the decontamination room? Like something out of a movie right? Well it too is to prevent the spread of viruses.

Military personnel are familiar with the 5 levels of MOPP.  (Military Operational Personal Protective) gear that give differing levels of protection for Nuclear, Biological or Chemical (NBC) attacks.

MOPP0.
IPE is issued to and inspected by the individual and prepared for use. Personnel carry their protective
masks with their LCE. The standard issue overgarment and other IPE are carried or are readily available. To be considered readily available, equipment must be carried by each individual, stored within arm’s
reach, or be available within 5 minutes; for example, within the work area, vehicle, or fighting position. Units in MOPP0 are highly vulnerable to persistent agent attacks and will automatically upgrade to MOPP1 when they determine or are notified that persistent NBC weapons have been used or that the
threat exists for NBC weapons use. The primary use for MOPP0 is during periods of increased alert when an enemy has a CB employment capability, but there is no indication of use in the immediate future. MOPP0 is not applicable to forces afloat.

MOPP1.
When directed to MOPP1, personnel immediately don the overgarment. In hot weather, the overgarment jacket can be left open and the overgarment can be worn directly over underwear
and other IPE making up the individual MOPP gear (e.g., footwear covers, mask, and gloves are readily
available or carried). M8 or M9 paper is attached to the overgarment, (carry the NAAK and decontamination kit or keep them at hand). MOPP1 provides a great deal of protection against persistent agents. The primary use for MOPP1 is when a CB attack in theater is possible.
Personnel must remove contact lenses and wear protective mask optical inserts. Leaders also monitor
hydration levels. For forces afloat, MOPP1 means IPE is available

MOPP2.
Personnel wear and/or put on their footwear covers, overgarment, and the protective helmet cover. As with MOPP1, the overgarment jacket may be left open, but trousers remain closed. The mask with mask carrier and gloves are carried. The primary use for MOPP2 is when a CB attack in theater is possible. Personnel carry M8 and M9 paper, nerve agent antidotes, and decontamination kits or keep them at hand. Personnel wear the protective mask optical inserts and maintain hydration levels. For forces afloat, MOPP2 means that personnel begin carrying masks.

MOPP3.
Personnel wear the overgarment, footwear covers, protective mask, and protective helmet cover. Again,
flexibility is built into the system to allow for personnel relief at MOPP3, particularly in hot weather.
Personnel can open the overgarment jacket and roll the protective mask hood for ventilation, but the
trousers remain closed. The protective gloves are carried. The primary use of MOPP3 is for personnel operating inside areas where a chemical-agent contact hazard does not exist. MOPP3 is not appropriate if a contact hazard is present. At MOPP3, forces afloat don protective suits and boots and activate intermittent countermeasure washdown.

MOPP4.
Personnel completely encapsulate themselves by closing their overgarments, adjusting all drawstrings to minimize the likelihood of any openings, and putting on their protective gloves. MOPP4 is used when the highest degree of protection is required, or if CB agents are present but the actual hazard is not determined. As with every other MOPP level, flexibility is built into the system to provide relief to the individual. Once the hazard is identified and risk assessment measures are employed, the overgarment may be left open.

Note: During coalition operations, US forces familiarize themselves with the protection levels used by
personnel from other nations.

*Taken directly from the Army Study Guide.

I wouldn’t expect everyone to understand the military terms or abbreviations used in the study guide, however I have a warm fuzzy reassurance to know that in the case of a NBC attack there are procedures in place, designated protective clothing and training that can insure maximum survival of myself and that of my soldiers.

So my military training wants to know how wearing a paper mask or rubber gloves will protect me while driving in a car by myself, or walking in the mountains by myself, or outdoor seating under canvas flaps while the restaurants indoor seating area is closed due to the virus – how is that preventing or controlling the spread?

Walk outside a hospital emergency room, a big box store, a mall or even a church and while walking to the parking area and you may have to step on or over discarded paper masks. Why are there not receptacles or bins marked “Biological Hazard – place discarded masks here?” If we are so caught up in wearing masks to protect us, why not do it right?

If the Covid virus is a real virus, causing real damage and deaths why is the entire world not at MOPP4 already? Why are we not encapsulating ourselves as if we were exiting a space craft to walk on the moon?

So think back one year ago to December 2019 when the virus was first discovered coming from Wuhan, China. Why did China cordon off Wuhan stopping all modes of transportation into their mainland? Why did they let Chinese nationals working at Chinese factories in northern Italy and elsewhere continue departing Wuhan for these foreign destinations? Think of the obvious? Was this a coordinated biological attack on the world by the Chinese Communist Party’s military biological scientists?

We have been conditioned over the past 12 months to think that the spreading of this virus is entirely our fault. We have also been sold on the idea that there is no antidote. Our only hope, we are told is to wait on a vaccine – wear a mask, social distance and self-isolate because our businesses, our livelihoods and our way of life have been declared non-essential. In fact Congress has recently conducted an open discussion on the affordability of abortion.

I have said, and still say the way to handle Covid is to use common sense. Stay away from sick people until they get well. Take appropriate measures when going out in public. If going into a store it may be required to wear a mask (but think of using that mask for a full day – the amount of differing germs, viruses or other toxins) and common sense tells me that I’m better off NOT wearing a mask. It has nothing to do with spreading the virus or not being considerate of others either.

We have had other viruses that required masking for a time, but not indefinitely.

We used to use soap and water with mops to decontaminate equipment and personnel after an atomic bomb explosion. How well did that work?

Every living being fights to survive (fight or flight). So do I trust medical “experts” who have thus far not been entirely truthful with the public? Do I think this was an orchestrated and deliberate attack on modern civilization? YES!

Could this be the “mark of the beast” described in the Book of Revelations? Quite possibly as overseas travel has already been affected and many countries refuse entry unless you can show proof that you don’t have the virus: Health Certificate, Vaccine Certificate, and/or Certification of Non-Infection? What’s next?

So when I was asked recently now that vaccines have become available will I go down and take one. My reply was that if there is concrete proof in any way shape or form that Bill Gates was involved in the process of creating the vaccine my answer is a resounding NO! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Not the Top just the Big Wheel

You had to be there to understand but back in the day you could call the First Sergeant just about anything except “Top” or “Sir”. One might get you on extra duty while the other would get you a reprimand or gentle reminder “Lieutenant I call you Sir!” I was taught early on that the first name of an officer was “Sir”.

In an army transportation company the First Sergeant (1SG) was the ranking enlisted soldier who advised the company commander, and ran the company but it was the Truckmaster who ran motor pool operations and received all tasking from battalion and higher headquarters and issued commitments to the line platoon sergeants who then assigned drivers and vehicles.

I spent my entire career in army transportation in Southeast Asia and Panama and stateside during the Vietnam War. Sometimes my assignments were in the support platoon of a combat arms unit, occasionally I went into the Army Transportation Office as supervisor of the Household Goods section or at one time as a Military Customs Inspector. Once I became an army recruiter, then an instructor at an army service school where we trained drivers of various branches of the DOD.

I have flown on various types of Army, Coast Guard, Navy and Air Force aircraft and have rode the rails on a military train returning from a training exercise and I have gone on friends and family cruises on USN and JSDF vessels. Each reminds me the virtues of having my feet planted firmly behind the steering wheel of an army VIP sedan, bus or tractor trailer. The real highlight of my career was becoming the “big wheel” – Truckmaster, first in an army line haul petroleum transport company at Fort Carson, Colorado, and then my final assignment was as the Truckmaster of the Army Transportation Motor Pool at Yokohama’s North Dock in Japan.

There were times as Truckmaster my unit was alerted for deployment into a hostile combat zone. That entailed identifying serviceable equipment to be deployed and coordinating with the First Sergeant about company assets being deployed.

Other times it was on a Corp level training exercise in Japan where aircraft, bus and passenger traffic had to be coordinated at the training site for redeployment back to their home stations. Sometimes it meant getting behind the wheel of a transport van, while other times it meant gathering necessary assets to make the deadline. Regardless of the assignment I was always a military trucker and forever more – I am the real Truckmaster!

Simple Mathematics Even Liberals Should Understand

I should have titled this RTM as How to Understand Liberal logic, but that seems to be a lost cause all by itself, yet often their answers need to be followed through to a logical conclusion. A recent comment asked “What do you do with ALL of the down ballot GOPErs who got elected on those same ballots?? Throw them out??” I guess in his own way these were probably the only really good questions that came out of his rant.

So let’s just say that there are approximately 331,828,037 citizens in the US as of the most recent census. Out of that there are 235M eligible voters in the US. Some voters are Democrats, Republicans, Independents or Unaffiliated and we must not forget those who are Ineligible.

Next we must look at how many in person, absentee or mail in ballots were cast on November 3^rd (Election Day) as early reports indicated that 69M votes were cast? Then how many ballots were counted after Election Day? Just to be fair how many ballots were counted or scanned more than once?

Next how many votes for Trump?

How many votes for Biden?

It seems preposterous that on November 3^rd local state Governors and both state and US Congress members could be declared on time, yet no declaration of a winner for POTUS and VP and as the wrangling continued so did the increase in number of ballots counted? I don’t even think that there is any legitimate way to determine those numbers at this time, unless a real audit of every ballot in every state could be done.

331,828,037 – US Population

235,000,000 – Eligible Voters

  69,000,000 – Votes Cast in 2020

• Democratic votes cast
• Republican votes cast
• Independent votes cast
• Unaffiliated votes cast
• Ineligible votes cast
• Trump votes
• Biden votes

So how does one candidate claim to be the president-elect prior to January 6^th when a joint session of Congress will unseal, read, approve or disapprove each Electoral vote before announcing the president-elect?

And how does the President of the United States become simply “candidate”?

How does the Democratic Congress get away with ignoring the President while holding one of their alumni up as the shining example for all to follow before January 20^th when the inauguration and swearing in of the President of the United States?

More importantly how does someone holding a non-office get away with demanding anything from the one holding the office of President of the United States?

I don’t care if you like or dislike any or both candidates for the office of President of the United States, but to buy into this fallacy is simply absurd. There can only be one president at a time. That is why one leaves public office and public life so as not to interfere in the affairs of state or the administration of the Executive Branch.

So why is it that we hear more from POTUS 44 during the campaign than we did over his 8 years in office? And why did it take so long for Mr. Obama to endorse Mr. Biden for the office he so carefully kept him away from during his 2 terms in office? Maybe an even bigger question was why did former Secretary Hillary Clinton not step in at an appropriate time and challenge her 2016 opponent to secure the notoriety of the first woman to become President of the United States? After all she won the popular vote, right? Maybe it was the same way that the 2020 popular vote?

I don’t have all the answers for many of the questions being asked today. I’m not a nuclear physicist, a medical doctor, an astronaut or a brain surgeon. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Deranged Lunatic Dictator

I’ve heard or rather read comments from a number of people whom I don’t know and judging from their comments about President Trump they don’t know him either. What it tells me is that they are simply parroting talking points from the far left media. I can see them using these kinds of terms when talking about former Vice President and presidential wannabee Joe Biden or Senator Kamala Harris, but they don’t.

So let me dispel some rumors and clear up some terms with a few basic facts. I know in today’s “modern” times facts really don’t have any bearing or relevance, so I’ll try and type r-e-a-l s-l-o-w so you can keep up, okay? Okay!  

First President Trump was elected for 4 years from 20 January 2017 until 20 January 2021.

Second former Vice President Biden has not been made president-elect, nor does he have any official office of the president-elect. Only a deranged person would stake that claim or even try and “back him up” on that claim.

Thirdly Senator Kamala Harris’ husband is not referred to as the Second Gentleman although I doubt that he’s anywhere close to that title in her life, even at this point.

I define a deranged lunatic as someone who holds onto that which he does not have and attempts to berate the one who has it to give it up for the sake of national unity, while threatening to institute a number of control measures that will keep the national population locked up, masked up and isolated from their now non-essential businesses that could afford at least a meager family income. I give you Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, his vast political experience coupled with her lack of it make them exactly the wrong people for the highest offices of the land. I’ve heard Obama say that Mr. Trump should be escorted out of the White House by Secret Service. So I ask was that Sir, how you left the White House in 2017? I think not. I’ve also heard from Ms. Waters that he should be dragged out by his hair. Ms. Pelosi says he should be dragged out by his itty bitty hands. Others have suggested the use of the military to evict him from the White House.

Now for those who call President Trump a dictator. It’s obvious that they have no idea what a dictator is or what one even does. So let me just say – take a look at Argentina or North Korea or China or Russia or any number of countries where the national “leader” is for lack of a better term “elected for life” and anyone who objects is summarily sent to the salt mines or executed.

So are they suggesting that President Trump declare a state of national emergency and call Marshal Law, Suspend the Constitution and declare he is now “President-for-life”? Isn’t that what our lifetime members of Congress have done, die in office after a lifetime of uselessness in Congress?

I mean after all we have just endured a disgraceful Presidential Election where the opposition party (Democrats) have stretched and bent election rules that we didn’t know existed, making it perfectly legal to electronically and physically stuff ballots, alter outcomes and “adjust” irregularities or “glitches” that plague Dominion Voting Systems software and machines? So maybe playing hardball is simply turning the tables on the bad guys (Democrats) who find no fault doing it unto others?

I know many of you were hoping I’d crawl into a hole and let bygones be bygones. That’s just not how I roll. I have been engaged with a number of other issues that have had my full attention and kept me pretty well preoccupied.

So I’ll leave with this little tidbit that you won’t find on the national or local news – JOE BIDEN IS NOT PRESIDENT ELECT. Also SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS HAS NOT RESIGNED HER SEAT IN CONGRESS. So that means only one thing – THE ELECTION PROCESS IS FAR FROM OVER!

If I were a betting man I’d say 2 to 1 odds on President Donald J. Trump being inaugurated on January 20^th, 2021. But first January 6^th is right around the corner. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Political Hardball

I writing this piece so that those who choose to read it will know that I feel the media have hijacked your thinking and reasoning ability. In my opinion you have let the media form how you see Trump and have personally taken it too far.  Most of the people who allow the media to influence what they think are misinformed when it comes to the Biden/Harris ticket. Those same people are misinformed about Trump/Pence too.

We are at a dangerous crossroads politically and for the survival of the nation. Congress tries to play the Russia card, when in fact China is making dangerous moves all around us. For the Chinese foreign minister to demand the US get back to the Iran Nuclear Treaty is ridiculous and dangerous.

I still think the virus was a biological attack on the planet by China. The way they sealed Wuhan off from mainline China, but continued early on to send 200,000 Chinese workers out from Wuhan to Italy, Iran and beyond seems to have been focused on infecting the entire globe and I get it.

The way congress has played into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party has never been more evident than rigging a presidential election so that the least likely candidate is one China is familiar with and would be able to control would make Biden the real Manchurian Candidate had their plan worked.

After the popular vote (obviously stacked for Biden) we’ve been told that it’s over, Biden won and we must get over it, come together in unity and let bygones be bygones, while they prepare to identify, isolate and remove Trump supporter resistance after securing the presidency.

You may not see that, but I do.

China would not try to force the US if they realized that Trump is still president and very likely will be re-inaugurated.  But congress and many Americans would rather submit to China than stand with Trump because the media says he is bad for our country and foreign leaders are laughing at us. Neither is true.

It has been 1 year ago that China released the virus. The world as a whole is vulnerable. America is vulnerable. Yet all I keep hearing is Trump is bad. Let me say this about Trump. He has been stressing to politicians to do their duty according to the constitution. They have been adamant that when Trump exercises his constitutional duties he is a tyrant. That’s not true either.

I’ve said it before that Biden is bad news for America and Harris is even worse. She uses others to advance her political career of what – 4 years in congress after raping California on her way up? Neither of them has a vision for America going forward. Neither of them could move Americans in any particular direction without using fear and intimidation tactics.

January 6 is around the corner and January 20 is not that far behind.

The far left is prepared to abolish the rights of Americans under the constitution and Democratic governors already have crossed that line and people are ok with that. I’m not.

A dictator demands full compliance with threats of punishment for violators. Wearing a mask is not an act of consideration for others, it is step one up the ladder of compliance. Step two is isolation of families, friends, co-workers and anyone who could be an ally in fighting to keep our rights. Step three is to close down government deemed non-essential businesses putting families out of work, no income and becoming dependent on stimulus checks which are as Pelosi says “crumbs”.

If Trump was a tyrant he would have locked down the country, declared Marshall Law, suspended the constitution and declared himself president-for-life. Members of congress, governors and state attorney generals would be in prison and public executions would have begun already and rioting would be dealt with by shooting. That is not who we are as Americans.

We pride ourselves in a peaceful transition of power, not in election or voter fraud. We don’t condone “Chicago-style” mob rule or violence against law enforcement. I know you don’t want to read all that pro-Trump stuff, but it goes along with the anti-Trump stuff that’s been going around for the past 4+ years.

My stand is for the freedom to live peaceably and safely while I worship and honor God by my actions and my words. I stand with President Trump because the values he fights for are in line with my religious beliefs and what I believe is best for America and the world. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

On the China Virus COVID-19 Vaccinations

I congratulate those who worked hard under the leadership of Vice President Mike Pence’s COVID-19 Taskforce to be able to bring forth a number of US medical companies to produce safe and effective vaccines in relatively short order for American citizens and the world. This wouldn’t have been possible had it not been for the leadership and drive of President Trump and his administration. That being said I have a number of concerns that I have discussed online and with friends.

My major concerns deal with the complexities ranging from high-risk to children and infants. Our individual bodies, our health conditions, a variety of medications, vitamins and supplements as well as our mobility and exercise regimens may cause a host of incompatibilities with any one vaccine.

I know that one vaccine has been approved and shipped, while a second has very recently been approved by the CDC for use in the US. What are the ingredients of each vaccine? Does each manufacturer use the same chemical composition or do they vary slightly? I understand that testing has been done fast-tracked so as to be made available to the public very quickly and safely.

How will vaccinations be documented – public health certificate of vaccination for COVID-19? What about travel documents? Will there be a COVID-19 Vaccination stamp or seal with a vaccination date entered in US passports?

I for one have trouble placing any faith or trust in the one who gave me the dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH back in Windows 95, so if Bill Gates is involved in any way shape or form I think I’ll just pass on the vaccination and take my chances of building up my immunity should I be exposed to COVID-19.

Maybe we’re going to be told something like the ominous and infamous “mark of the beast” referenced in the Book of Revelations in order to enter a store to buy or sell or to travel?  

I’m not a medical professional, a scientist or a “vaccinologist”, just one man with many questions.

One thing I do know is that my trust is not in a vaccine or in a man, but my trust is in the Lord. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

An Open Letter to Our Congressional Leadership

Dear Madam Speaker and Majority Leader,

I doubt that you will ever know me or care about what I have to say about your conduct or congressional leadership style so let me go out on a limb for my fellow countrymen as I say that I believe you have forgotten why you were sent to Congress in the first place.

In the years since you first walked into the chamber of your elected office you went from a fireball with grandiose ideas of a politician that keeps your word to a politician so wrapped up in your self-importance that you have forgotten the little guy. Do you even remember the campaign promises you made during your first run for public office? I suspect it was something like “Vote and send me to congress and I’ll fight for you.” I’m probably not that far from hitting the nail on the head.

We are not that different you and I. We might have grown up in different eras or different parts of the country but we have fought for mom, apple pie and freedom in our own special ways. We have saluted the flag as we came to work. We have tried to instill a sense of worth and excellence to every project by signing our name. We swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies yet today by your actions you have abandoned that oath. You have made it your mission to stand in opposition to the very principles you claim to hold dear.

I have watched you puff up as your feathers have been ruffled because you allowed yourself to be so offended that you have discredited yourself in front of the nation and the world with your distain for one man no better and no worse than you. A man who has stepped in the gap when he could have very well stepped on any golf course in the world without a care, yet he chose to stand up for the little guy, that same little guy you have forgotten. It is THAT little guy for whom you pledged and promised to fight for. It is that little guy. It is for ME who you work for – John Q. Public an American taxpayer and a registered voter who has voted in every election for you to make me proud and to make America a safer and a better place for my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and generations yet to come.

I urge you. No I implore you to stop trying to prove your self-importance to everyone in Congress and in government. Prove yourself to me and my fellow countrymen. Walk in my shoes. Look out for my welfare. Protect my family. Do it for me.

Your shame has been made public for everyone to see. You have disrespected others without a second thought. You have used and I dare say abused the public trust, my trust in you by publicly tearing up an important document in the House during a Joint Session of Congress. You have remained silent when America needed you to speak up. You have spoken up at a time when you should have exercised your right to remain silent.

You have placed personal financial gain and profit ahead of the welfare of this nation and people like me who placed our trust in you to do what is right. When given an opportunity to protect the unborn you have waffled and fought for more funding for abortion clinics, at the expense of countless future generations of American citizens for what gain? When given an opportunity to protect our nation against wave after wave of unlawful and illegal immigration you have fought for the complete opposite.

I ask that you forget the petty posturing and get down to the business of working with the sitting President no matter his political party affiliation for the betterment of America. I also ask that when you can no longer serve MY needs as an American taxpayer that you tender your resignation and go home with pride for doing your best or in shame for failing to do exactly that.

In the eyes of Americans you are expendable. A replaceable resource that can and will be replaced by the next fireball patriotic American citizen who will fight for the rights of ALL Americans regardless of political party or persuasion. God Bless America. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

I Told You So – On Jenna Ellis Announcement

You may have erroneously thought the election ended with the popular vote or that once the Electoral College voted it was a done deal. Yet for several weeks now I have been urging everyone to wait for the election process to draw to a conclusion. We’re almost there, but not quite.

Beginning on November 4^th the Democrats made it clear that Joe Biden was the president-elect and Kamala Harris was the vice president-elect. Joe Biden even called for unity and demanded President Trump concede and begin the transition process, he wasn’t happy when it didn’t happen.

Although Congressional Democrats have refused to work with President Trump over the past four years they are all too happy to accommodate one of their own – former Senator and Vice President Joe Biden. That should tell you something about what is in store for America under a Biden presidency.

I’m surprised at the number of people who see the process of contesting an election as a sore loser instead of part of the Constitutional process of a presidential election. If you’ve followed my blog posts you will notice that I continually include a link to the official timeline for the 2020 election.

On July 6, 2020 the Supreme Court ruled that state laws penalizing or replacing faithless electors are constitutionally valid.

We’ve already completed the Nomination and Election Campaign Timeline of nominating candidates for the debates, the national conventions and presidential and vice presidential debates.

On November 3, 2020 the General Election’s casting of in person or mail in ballots for president and vice president was completed and the election results were contested by President Trump. We’ve seen court filings at various states Supreme Courts and a filing at the Supreme Court which they declined to hear.

On December 15, 2020 the Electoral College Timeline was completed when the EC votes were cast, certified and sealed to be delivered by special courier to the US Congress by December 23, 2020.

As we have seen there is a lot of political pressure to try and hurry the process along or to get one side to concede the election. There have been extraordinary amounts of pressure put on the Supreme Court and Members of Congress to not “rock the boat” and let things slide. However that is not how the Constitution was written, in fact the process is working properly.

The Electoral College: A 2020 Presidential Election Timeline

December 23, 2020: Certificates Must Be Delivered to the Designated Officials

Certificates of electoral vote results must be delivered to above mentioned officers by the fourth Wednesday in December, in 2020, by December 23 (3 U.S.C. §12).

Failure to Deliver Certificates by December 23

If the certificates from any state have not been delivered by December 23, 2020, the President of the Senate, or in their absence the Archivist, is required to request the secretary of state or equivalent officerin that state to send one of the copies they hold to the President of the Senate by registered mail (3 U.S.C. §12, 13). The Code also directs themto send a messenger to the judge of the U.S. district court in the state directing the judge to transmit the certificatethey hold by “hand …to the seat of government.”

January 6, 2021: Joint Session of Congress to Count Electoral Votes and Declare Election Results Meets

On January 6, or another date set by law, the Senate and House of Representatives assemble at 1:00 p.m. in a joint session at the Capitol, in the House chamber, to count the electoral votes and declare the results(3 U.S.C. §15). The Vice President presides as President of the Senate. The Vice President opens the certificates and presents them to four tellers, two from each chamber. The tellers read and make a list of the returns. When the votes have been ascertained and counted, the tellers transmit them to the Vice President. If one of the tickets has received a majority of 270 or more electoral votes, the Vice President announces the results, which “shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected President and Vice President.”

Joint Session Challenges to Electoral Vote Returns

While the tellers announce the results, Members may object to the returns from any individual state as they are announced. Objections to individual state returns must be made in writing by at least one Member each of the Senate and House of Representatives. If an objection meets these requirements, the joint session recesses and the two houses separate and debate the question in their respective chambers for a maximum of two hours. The two houses then vote separately to accept or reject the objection. They then reassemble in joint session, and announce the results of their respective votes. An objection to a state’s electoral vote must be approved by both houses in order for any contested votes to be excluded. For additional information, see CRS Report RL32717, Counting Electoral Votes: An Overview of Procedures at the Joint Session, Including Objections by Members of Congress, coordinated by Elizabeth Rybicki and L. Paige Whitaker.

January 20, 2021: Presidential Inauguration

On this date, the President and Vice President are to be inaugurated. The Twentieth Amendment set the date for inaugurations as January 20, beginning in 1937. Since 1981, the ceremony has, with one exception, been held on the West Front of the Capitol. The Vice President takes the oath first, followed at noon by the President.

From Jenna Ellis…

“Today, the electoral college votes will be sealed and sent by special carrier to Washington where they will remain sealed until January 6th when the House and Senate will come into a joint session to open the votes. The media is going to make you believe that it’s all over and Joe Biden is now officially president…

On January 6th, Nancy Pelosi will sit down with the rest of the House members as she has no special power or authority over the hearing… Vice President Mike Pence will have all the authority as president of the Senate for that day and will accept or reject motions to decide the next steps by the assembly.

Remember… Mike Pence is in full authority that day as written in the Constitution. The ballots will be certified today but that means nothing…

The votes will be opened and at that point, one House member could, and most likely will, raise their hand to object to the Vice President on the state of elector’s votes. That objection could cover fraud or any other reason, and with the seconding of that objection, everything changes. Everything!!

The House and Senate will divide for two hours (at least) to debate, then vote. The vote will be per Senator with the Vice President being the deciding vote if needed in the Senate, while the vote in the House will only be ONE vote per delegation, per state, not per House member!!! The Republicans have 30 delegation votes compared to the Democrats with 20 delegation votes.

If this scenario runs true, President Trump gets re-elected.

The Democrats, the media, social networks, and globalists around the world will come unhinged and chaos will erupt. Bigly.

President Trump is trying to do the right thing and go through the courts first, expose all the fraud, but we all knew that none of the courts, even the Supreme Court wanted to touch this issue with a 10-ft pole!

This is why our forefathers were so brilliant because they knew something like this could happen someday. So, don’t listen to the media and all their deception and lies. All you have to do is read the Constitution and you know that the law, policies and procedures in the end are on our side.

Tic Toc… Tic Toc…

As you might well imagine the nation is poised to know for sure who the president-elect and vice president-elect will be. Will President Trump win his bid for reelection? Or will it be former Vice President Biden?

I don’t know about you but I’m not quite tired of winning yet. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Wild Hogging in Colorado

Unless you knew me back then (2006 – 2007) you’d find it hard to believe that the Real Truckmaster was at one time a Wild Hog-type. We didn’t call ourselves that but every time I watch the movie I find myself drifting back to a time when my buddy (who will remain anonymous) brought over a ‘83 Honda 750cc Magna and asked if I wanted to buy it. He knew I needed a bike I could straddle the seat with both feet on the ground.

It was a basic no frills bike and riding it that first morning over to his place where we were going to ride somewhere was an eye opener. What I mean was riding in 37 degree weather with no windscreen at 45 mph made my teeth chatter and my face felt like it had been frozen.

It was nothing like my younger days of riding my ‘63 moped in sleepy Boise, Idaho during my high school years. Nor was it reminiscent of my Thailand days riding my Blue Honda 125cc with my “ol’ lady” on the back on that 350+ mile drive from south from Northeastern to Southwestern Thailand with a suitcase strapped on the luggage rack. Or the red 90cc Honda I brought back from Japan and rode it in Colorado Springs, up Powers Blvd at 35 mph looking like the Pillsbury Doughboy on a pedal bike with traffic whizzing past at breakneck speeds in ’91.

I had great plans and ideas of endless riding without a care in the world until one day I got on the interstate I-25 and wound that bike up but couldn’t get it to the posted speed limit of 75. It felt like it was starving for fuel even after I had topped off the tank. Another time riding with a friend we stopped in at a Loaf n Jug to get fuel, a cup of black coffee (not that fufu stuff I drink now) and a doughnut. As we’re sitting inside just beginning to talk I look outside and my bike is peeing……a stream of fuel like I’ve never seen before. Lucky for me my riding buddy was a Honda mechanic and was able to locate a hole in the fuel line and get it stopped. After we got back to his garage we stripped the fuel line with an unauthorized or unneeded inline 2^nd fuel filter and replaced it with a new fuel line. Man that bike had power and 75 was no problem anymore.

I went whole hog with leather jacket, chaps, gloves, boots and we did a number of rides from Colorado Springs to Westcliff, Pueblo, Limen and all points in between. Sometimes there would be 3 or 4 of us riding to Canon City for lunch and back. I was able to ride with a men’s church group a few times after church.

I got involved with the Patriot Guard for a time riding for funerals of US servicemen and veterans. One time during an escort from DIA to the church the entire escorted convoy was on Hwy 70 in stop and go traffic. It was hot and my bike overheated. I couldn’t get it started and had to find the nearest exit, head down the ramp I got it running. I took an alternate route to the church and by the time I arrived everything was done and the guys from Colorado Springs had already headed back home.  Had a few protest groups show up but they were only a small nuisance.

I had a two instances occur that really changed my focus on riding and the first occurred as I was returning from Parker on Hwy 85/83. I was southbound and as I approached the Northgate Road a motorhome pulled out in front of me. Not panicking I prepared to shift right an around him then encountered a vehicle and a boat he was pulling and was still able to shift right around them all and still stay on the apron. It was a close call.

The second occurred in 2007 as I was headed out to meet other bikers for a final ride before a predicted incoming storm was scheduled for our area. I was in town and decided to turn onto a side street, as I was turning I hit the curb causing the bike to fall on top of me. A passerby came over and pulled the bike off of me. I stood up and attempted to push the kickstand down with my left leg and found that it was broken and I almost passed out from the pain. Someone said they were going to have to cut off my chaps and boot. I said no way, reached over and unzipped the chaps top to bottom and upon removing my boot and found that besides my broken leg my femoral artery had been punctured by one of the engine mounting bolts.

When the ambulance and the police had arrived they asked which hospital I wanted to go to, so I said I wanted to go to the USAFA hospital because I’m retired military. The hospital refused to accept a motorcycle trauma patient so I went to one of the other local hospitals and landed on the operating table of Dr. Storm. I received a titanium rod in my leg to secure the bone.

On a follow up visit to his office I was behind a guy in a wheelchair with a metal contraption called a Halo affixed to his head. He had been in a motorcycle accident and I decided I didn’t want to end up like that. Plus my wife said either the bike or she goes and to be honest – that bike didn’t cook.

My last interaction with the Patriot Guard was during the Veterans Day Parade that year when I showed up in a wheelchair to watch the parade and speak to some of the PG riders. I miss the bike and the rides and have learned on valuable lesson – “It’s not the destination but the journey”! – I am the Real Truckmaster!
