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!
I cannot imagine the pain and suffering a parent goes through to lose a child. The death of a child must leave a gaping hole in a parent’s heart that can never be filled. They’re memory is never replaced, but lingers on for a lifetime. What about when a child goes missing? The uncertainty the horrors they may be facing must tear that hole even more?
In America an Amber Alert goes out over the airwaves, across the internet and on cell phones throughout the affected area when a child disappears. Occasionally the child is found and returned to grateful parents, who are overjoyed at their reunion. Quite often that reunion never takes place.
During the Obama administration the “dreamers” were allowed entry into the US under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals; during the Biden administration out of the more than 20M undocumented migrants, more than 130,000 were unaccompanied children simply disappeared after being “absorbed” into the US; in the first six months of the Trump administration more than 13,000 unaccompanied minors have been “recovered” but to what end?
Among the questions that come to mind is, “Where are the parents?” Have there never been any investigative reporters or law enforcement investigations to determine where they came from? We’ve seen the pictures of 2 year old migrant children coming to the US Southern border wearing new clothes, sometimes brandishing a handwritten sign with the name of a city, state and a contact phone number, but has anyone followed up as to who is at that number? Has anybody documented names, cities and countries of origin for any of these children? Why have there not been heartbroken parents besieging the embassies of the United States around the globe with pictures, information, birth certificates, dates and circumstances of the disappearance of these children? Where is the worldwide clamor for affecting the return of these missing children?
How many of these children died enroute to the US? Who mourns for them? Who cares?
What are the circumstances for parents to give their children into the hands of strangers, never to be seen again? I thought international human smuggling was a major criminal offense? – RTM
When asked why not assist I.C.E. one New York City Democrat answered, “……we will not help ICE put our neighbors, friends, gardeners, etc. etc. in Alligator Alcatraz” (Paraphrased). Failed logic of democrats is they do not want a wide net cast upon their city by I.C.E. (I call that willful ignorance) yet by their actions the narrow focus of I.C.E. becomes a wide net by necessity.
If you knew your neighbor was a bad hombre i.e. bank robber, drug dealer, or murderer evading police would you want them to remain at large? What if you were to become their next potential target? What if you were taken hostage, held for ransom and nobody came to your rescue? Worst case scenario, what if local law enforcement decided you weren’t worth their effort to save you?
Politicians and the media have tainted the reputation of I.C.E. by casting them in the light of Nazi storm troopers who kidnap people off the street for no reason. Not true (and you know it). They chastise and attempt to prevent I.C.E. from covering their face while performing their assigned duties, citing (falsely I might add) that they are out of uniform, in unmarked vehicles and act like armed thugs (who enjoy the freedom to mask up and use automatic weapons). They say that I.C.E. randomly goes into schools, churches, hospitals and job sites simply searching for brown skinned individuals.
Show me the evidence?
I.C.E. is a federal law enforcement agency serving active warrants for the arrest of specific individuals who have been issued orders for removal by an immigration judge. It is in the best interests of everyone that I.C.E. supported by local law enforcement go into the community and apprehend, arrest and remove those individuals, and ANY OTHER PERSON SUBJECT TO DEPORTATION in the vicinity. The only way out for illegal migrants is to self-deport using the CBP HOME APP or face deportation.
What local city council members, mayors and state legislators fail to understand is that by ordering law enforcement NOT to assist I.C.E. the repercussions of their actions insure the flooding of the community by I.C.E. agents IS A SURE THING. The primary responsibility of elected/appointed or law enforcement is for the safety and security of all members of the community. Failing to enforce federal immigration law has consequences.
Additionally those officials who break federal immigration laws in the process of resisting I.C.E. face felony charges which when charged and convicted range from hefty fines and/or lengthy prison time could follow which governors do not have the power to override or issue pardons.
There is no justification for breaking the law to seek lawful residency status or citizenship. – RTM
This incident recently reported in the news was about an illegal (undocumented) alien migrant working as a ride-share driver in the San Diego, California area who while driving passengers entered the border crossing to Mexico and in effect “accidently” self-deported.
Those on the right say, right on man!
I’ve seen where American citizens have made the same mistake and when found to be carrying contraband, i.e. drugs and/or weapons (both are a huge no-no) got no special exceptions, but paid the consequences for their actions.
This case should be no exception either.
While those on the left cite it’s a massive mistake that has consequences like separating this husband and father from his family in the US. One California Democratic congressman acknowledges that US immigration laws are broken, but we must encourage and make it easier for migrants to come here to work.
There are specific steps that immigrants can take in order to enter the US to work, to obtain legal residency (green card) and a pathway to citizenship, if they meet existing immigration requirements.
However there should be no pathway to citizenship for those who enter the US illegally. That is what makes the Trump administration’s Self-Deportation CBP Home App a great way to allow those who voluntarily leave the country with documentation that does open the door for a future return to the US AND a pathway to citizenship.
As for the unfortunate ride-share driver, his only choice at this point should be having his family join him in Mexico so they can go thru the process correctly in order to return legally. If his family self-deports using the CBP APP, they could even get a stipend and documentation that will help them return in the future.
Otherwise they are open to future deportation which could ban them from returning to the US.
As the left so aptly puts it we are a nation of immigrants and we need those farm workers, hotel workers and food service workers, however they must come here legally.
Why not focus on those Americans (there are plenty) who are unemployed and homeless who could step up, do the work and enjoy the benefits of contributing to our society, instead of being overlooked, passed over and forgotten by our politicians, the news media and US.
Tom Hanks starred in The Terminal, a movie about an immigrant without a country stuck in an airport terminal? And didn’t Will Smith also starred in a movie, The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) about a man who found himself unemployed and homeless with his son living on the streets of a major US city?
Hollywood entertainers produce a movies about problems to be solved and then in many cases side with liberal democrats, who working together in real life fail to solve anything except highlighting the number of democrat politicians see themselves as entertainers?– RTM
Bad actors behind the scenes have been steadily advancing their silent march toward a world without borders while Americans argue the political pros and cons of mass migration with no clear end in sight.
It’s no surprise that the United Nations is located in New York City, USA. The UN has orchestrated leaders from across the globe, but primarily in the Americas as they promote The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2012 signed in Brazil and The UN Global Compact for Migrationsigned in 2013 by then President Barack Obama representing the United States. These documents are reported to be non-binding agreements honoring nation state’s sovereignty.
Believe it or not there WAS a reason for President Joe Biden’s open border madness.
The United States rule of law is in the US Constitution, not the New World Order or other concoctions of the United Nations.
Maybe President Trump should consider removing the United Nations from the United States altogether? After all who’s footing the lion’s share of the UN bill? – RTM
Let me be honest, I don’t give a crap about the Epstein Files or who did what to whom.
That means a meaningful investigation into a number of questions:
When did Jeffrey Epstein begin his depraved “adventure” into (for lack of a better term) sexual pleasures for profit?
Who were his accomplices?
Where did this “adventure” lead him, (when and where did he purchase his properties)?
How did he communicate to his “co-harts” in crime?
Where and how did he obtain his sexual play toys (girls and boys)?
Who were the play toys?
Who were the participants?
How was transportation arranged and used?
What kinds of monies were involved?
When and how did this “adventure” end?
However, what investigative tools have been used or conducted?
Was anybody charged with a crime?
Did Jeffrey Epstein really commit suicide in prison, on suicide watch, and nobody saw nothing?
Due to the nature of Epstein’s activities and the length of operation and there is no punishment this side of the grave for the dead.
So FBI & DOJ show us your work? Where did the paper trail lead? What is the concluded conscience?
While speculation that some very big name US politicians and others were among those listed on JE flight logs to his “Island” may be useful, but unless they have confessed or were tried and convicted of sexual misconduct it is all accusations and hearsay.
I think the DOJ should release ALL non-sensitive documentation and investigative work so the public can move on. – RTM
According to Google, Ice is water that has frozen into a solid state; occurs naturally on Earth; plays a significant role in the water cycle and climate.
If you listen to many of the left leaning democratic politicians you will hear that ICE are mask wearing, no identification thugs kidnapping our neighbors off the streets, at school, work and in city parks and splitting up families by sending them to some godforsaken third world countries.
What you won’t hear is the reality that when ICE goes out to arrest criminal illegal migrants it is with an arrest warrant for a specifically named individual signed by a judge. And in places where local politicians refuse to allow (order LE not to cooperate with ICE) there are generally present individuals paid to obstruct ICE, which is a federal offense.
Also due to the fact that some individuals are DOXing, releasing to the public the names, addresses and phone numbers of ICE agents and their families it is often necessary for ICE to mask up while performing their duties to enforce federal immigration law.
One more tidbit is the fact that when apprehending criminal illegal migrants they are often in the company of other illegal undocumented migrants, who may or may not be on a BOLO report or simply may be in the wrong place at the wrong time, yet are fully eligible to be deported.
ICE has made it possible for any illegal undocumented migrant to “SELF DEPORT” by using the app and therefore being able to apply from their home country for legal documented status to return as an asylum seeker, student, tourist, or resident alien. However once they have been deported by ICE they are banned from entry into the U.S. again.
Most of the political hype centers on the roundup of criminal illegal aliens by ICE’s ERO division:
Formally known as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and commonly referred to as I.C.E. was created in 2003 through a merger of the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the former U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The agency is primarily devoted to three operational directorates – Homeland Security Investigations (HIS), Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA), while a forth directorate Management and Administration (M&A) supports the three operational branches to advance the ICE mission.
Enforcement and Removal Operations
The ERO directorate upholds U.S. immigration law at, within, and beyond our borders. ERO’s work is critical to the enforcement of immigration law against those who present a danger to our national security, are a threat to public safety, or who otherwise undermine the integrity of our immigration system.
ERO operations target public safety threats, such as convicted criminal undocumented aliens and gang members, as well as individuals who have otherwise violated our nation’s immigration laws, including those who illegally re-entered the country after being removed and immigration fugitives ordered removed by federal immigration judges. ERO deportation officers assigned to INTERPOL also assist in targeting and apprehending foreign fugitives or Fugitive Arrest and Removal (FAR) cases who are wanted for crimes committed abroad and who are now at-large in the U.S.
ERO manages all aspects of the immigration enforcement process, including identification and arrest, domestic transportation, detention, bond management, and supervised release, including alternatives to detention. In addition, ERO removes undocumented aliens ordered removed from the U.S. to more than 150 countries around the world.
The progressive democrats on the left, their legacy media broadcasters, hire “paid political protestors” and others who react without any idea of what they are protesting. These “protestors” should understand that facing off with law enforcement puts them directly in the crosshairs of apprehension, arrest and/or further investigations which could result in substantial criminal charges for interfering with law enforcement.
Might I remind congressional democrats that as the Legislative Body it is their constitutional responsibility to write the bills that would create change or modify new or existing laws when signed by the president and it is the constitutional responsibility for the Executive Branch to enforce the laws.
Voters – YOU alone are responsible for your vote. If your elected official spends his/her time in office resisting instead of legislating YOUR wants and desires, it is YOUR responsibility to vote them out of office. Remember you get what you vote for. – RTM
People ask why I write many of my blog posts about Donald Trump. I say to them what I’m saying in this post that if nobody writes the truth how will they know?
During Trump’s presidency #45 he went into office blindly relying on and trusting his advisors and handlers, several of whom either gave him bad advice or turned him by leaking sensitive information to the press. When the chips were down a number abandoned ship or were replaced. In spite of all the negative press, a hostile both republican and democrat led congress Trump managed many great accomplishments in his quest to Make America Great Again.
During the Biden presidency Trump wasn’t sulking in the shadows. In fact Trump still had that dual mandate from God to stand against the Spirit of Political Correctness and to stop Evil. Behind the scenes Trump’s advisors were gathering individuals with one or more of Trump’s two primary pre-qualifications for his next administration – Talent and Experience. Keep in mind Trump was still taking hits from Biden’s weaponized D.O.J. as well as coordinated legal actions from democratic state and city attorney generals who were trying to bankrupt, put him behind bars (he got his infamous mug shot) as they prepared to prevent him from ever holding public office again.
As the Biden presidency #46 was on its last legs the Democratic Party was coming unglued and became desperate to stop Trump’s run for the presidency J13 in Butler, Pennsylvania became ground zero as a would be assassin shot Trump and killed innocent bystander Cory Comperatore and seriously injured rally goers David Dutch and James Copenhaver before the shooter, 20 year old Thomas Crooks was neutralized by a secret service sniper. This was a turning point in Trump’s life personally and politically as he felt the hand of God protecting him for a greater purpose. In Palm Beach, Florida on S15 a second would be assassin was arrested near his golf course.
As American voters became galvanized so did the polarization along political lines. President Biden dropped his bid for re-election and endorsed Kamala Harris who literally ran her campaign into the ground. Trump won the election of 2024 by a landslide promising to seal the border, fix the economy, and put Americans back to work, rebuild our military (peace through strength) and correct America’s trade balance with tariffs for every nation on earth that trades with the U.S.
Beginning on J20 President Trump #47 hit the ground running announcing the Golden Age of America has begun. His major concerns were to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine and return the hostages in Gaza; close the border to illegal migration; resumed construction on completing the border wall; and began deporting criminal illegal migrants; and to issue pardons for many of those arrested, charged and convicted of J6 offenses.
Trump formed the D.O.G.E. taskforce, headed by Elon Musk to conduct a financial audit of every government agency to root out fraud, waste and abuse; he then began paring down the federal government workforce and took steps to eliminate unnecessary/duplication of government agency responsibilities; keep men out of women’s sports and stop D.E.I. in America; and most important are holding former government officials accountable for their actions while in office by meaningful and legal investigations by congress and by the F.B.I.
Every step of the way Trump is being met with judicial interference, yet he remains focused and is continuing forward at a rapid pace. A major piece of legislation for Trump was signing his Big Beautiful Bill on J4 in a ceremony at the White House and we are just approaching Trump’s first six months in office. – RTM
In the history of our Nation there have been 47 presidents who were either great military leaders, veterans of foreign wars, medical, and legal professionals, “career” politicians or business leaders but there has never been a real visionary with the intestinal fortitude and stamina like President Donald Trump.
Six months after assuming the office a second time Trump was asked what made him more successful this time? His answer was short and to the point, “Talent and Experience”.
He said, “The first time I had the talent but not the experience”. Trump said the first time he relied on advice from others and chose some very bad people.
This second time around the Trump cabinet has very smart talented people in very critical positions and they work well together not just for Trump but for the American people.
Trump accomplished more during his first term than many presidents before him. In the first six months of his second term he has accomplished more for our country than all the presidents before him combined. Not only has he placed America first, but followed closely by working hard to save human lives by striving to stop senseless wars overseas while fighting lawlessness, two blotched assassination attempts and continual political infighting here on the home front.
When the Israeli Prime Minister recommended President Trump for the Nobel Prize he remarked that Trump should get the Peace Prize for EVERY action taken to bring peace during both of his terms in office. He was right.
Everything about Trump’s second term from border security to foreign affairs, the economy, immigration and the industrialization of putting our nation back to work is nothing short of remarkable.
History may soon look back on President Donald J. Trump as the man who saved America. – RTM
Democrats who fail to learn from their errors will repeat them, is the lesson applicable for today. More importantly voters who continue to vote for candidates based on political party, instead of merit will continue to get what they voted for. What we see in proclaimed sanctuary cities and states are the lawless values of politicians put upon the people as a means of control. Claims of racism used by politicians are putting people back on the plantation and is in fact what democratic democracy is all about – full and total and willing control.
How does what we see today compare with the nation prior to the Civil War? Did that war start at its core because southern states refused to free the slaves and the northern states under President Lincoln moved to force compliance or was it their refusal to enforce federal law? After all, immediately after the war the democratic Klu Klux Klan (KKK) began marching throughout the southern states murdering and lynching minorities and sympathizers leading to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
We are led to believe that democrats of yesteryear are somewhat different today? The party of the working man has become the resistance party espousing the values (or lack thereof) and using the tactics long since associated with the KKK riders. Voters are pressured, badgered and bullied into believing voting democrat is a must for American minorities.
I think of sanctuary governors and mayors who defiantly state their order not to assist I.C.E. agents enforcing federal law, yet these same politicians attempt to determine and limit the scope and attire of federal agents in the performance of their duties. One state seeks to prevent ICE from wearing masks, while others seek to prevent areas within their municipalities from being accessed by I.C.E. These democratic politicians fail to realize that their rants and raves do not prevent I.C.E. from enforcing federal law and wearing their clearly marked attire ANYWHERE in the United States.
A recent I.C.E. raid of a California state sanctioned pot field netted the arrest of 319 illegal migrant workers and the recovery of 14 unaccompanied underage juvenile migrant children working there illegally. I wonder why the D.O.J. does not federally deputize local and state law enforcement (much like the President activating state National Guard) so they can assist rather than stand by when lawlessness abounds?
Is it not the primary responsibility of city, state and federal politicians to protect Americans from bad guys, gangs, and terrorists? Don’t forget that federal law TRUMPS local city and state law. Politicians who empower, encourage or promote lawlessness or order to selectively enforce federal laws of the United States have become law breakers who can and should be prosecuted and removed from public office.
Who then is protecting American’s from these bad politicians? – RTM
It is no secret that American politicians are so divided over enforcing federal laws. Mayors, governors and state and federal elected officials feel empowered to resist the federal government when it comes to abortion, education, public safety and international affairs. From whom do they get their “authority”?
A number of state officials have come to office after serving in the U.S. Congress where their “worldview” has been shaped, in part, by various congressional caucuses, which I last counted was more than 200, including caucuses which accept or reject congressional members solely by race. Isn’t that illegal?
Caucuses are created to influence the political agenda of its members.
The Congressional Black Caucus of which Barack Obama, Karen Bass and other notable politicians are alumni, has billed themselves as the “Race Police” to seek out racism in government, and now are focused on resisting the executive actions of the Executive Branch, i.e. President Trump. Not only that, but they have committed their statuary authority, congressional power and ALL THE MONEY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT toward their ends. Not to mention that they are federally funded.
There are so many others, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus; the Congressional Asian-American Caucus; caucuses for other nations, other topics and each going in separate directions. Members who join must abide by the decision of their caucus.
Do you remember the “African shawl” debacle lead by then Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other congressional democrats unknowingly wore the colors of the African slave hunters who sold entire villages to the captains of slave ships back in the day? The African woman who spoke out about this was conveniently silenced.
Today’s 119th Congress is committed to resisting Trump at every juncture. They defend unlawful, illegal immigration and promote their unauthorized usage of federal programs by migrants who have no legal right to them. The resist Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s actions to remove illegal migrants from our nation, to the point of breaking into federal prison facilities, traveling to foreign lands to demand the leaders of other nations return THEIR CITIZENS back to the U.S.A. where they don’t belong in the first place.
On the subject of abortion, congressional democrats have no problem killing off America’s future citizens while feigning outrage over the children of foreign citizens being sent back to their home countries in order to keep families together.
It was President Richard Nixon who first challenged the first rendition of the CBC by defunding them. They simply renamed themselves the CBC and have grown steadily over the years. We all know what happened to Nixon, right?
I have a solution: defund ALL congressional caucuses to prevent federal funds from funding our nation’s demise, especially those promoting anti-American, anti-government or foreign terrorist groups and individuals. – RTM
