What BLM Activation Really Does

What BLM Activation Really Does

We see daily on television and social media the plastering of Black Lives Matter like wallpaper saturating everything it touches, including people. Recently while celebrating with family and friends I had an opportunity to see the blatant fakeness of the importance of sports.

At first I thought my eyes had deceived me, but upon closer examination I realized that two baseball teams were competing in a playoff game where it really didn’t matter. The stadium was filled with cutouts of real people filling the stadium. This was something I’d expect at a Biden basement political rally to convince people that the stadium was packed with energetic supporters.

As I the station switched to a major basketball game with playbacks of previous games with all the distinct team jerseys of different colored it was all erased when the scene focused back on the game being played with basically everyone wearing black lives matter shirts. Even had Black Lives Matter painted beside the playing field and I wondered what happened.

I have no problem with black lives matter because all lives matter to God who created every single one, including those in the womb. The real problem isn’t with black lives not mattering it’s that when no life is treated with value it ceases to matter.

We have grown accustomed to living our instant shake-n-bake lives where we want what we want and we want it now – instant gratification.

I can even understand someone wanting to get their point across that Black Lives Matter. The message is simple, yet the method of delivery and the manner in which it is taken to extremes in its delivery is counterproductive. Plainly it is bully tactics to the extreme. Probably the same bullying tactics used in urban housing areas to keep folks in line by making them stay in line “I ain’t no snitch”.

It then becomes a game where everyone is not only expected to play, but required to participate. Everyone knows that lives matter, but now they are being pressured and forced to think and say that only black lives matter. One of the founders of BLM in one of American city went so far as to say that before any life matters, black lives have to matter FIRST!

How stupid and absurd is that? It insinuates that if black lives don’t matter, no life matters. It may be true for some people who pull out a gun and kill someone for no apparent reason at all. It most certainly true for abortion clinics that routinely kill the baby in the womb because women are told it is the woman’s right to choose. God created that baby and entrusted it to the mother to nourish and protect until adulthood. But really what lives are most affected statistically by abortion – black lives. In urban areas of large cities the lack of love, nurturing and parenting skills turn young people into natural born killers because they have not been taught to cherish life, not even their own.

There is no legislation or mandate that will force black lives to matter. It is a choice to treat everyone with dignity and respect. It is a matter of character to make every life matter. Painting it on the street, across the sky in huge letters, making banners and signs, even t-shirts worn by those sympathetic to the cause of black lives still leads back to a choice by each individual.

One of the Ten Commandments from God says don’t kill. There are state and federal laws declaring it unlawful to murder. So why do we tolerate the taking of human life? Every senseless killing could be prevented if every person thought they were important and treated others more highly than they treat themselves.

Romans 12: 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

We are told in Romans 12:18 to live at peace with everyone when we have the power to do so (paraphrased). So what is stopping us? Pride, thinking we are all that and a box of chips? Thinking we’re not valuable, so neither is anyone else?

Do you want to stop racism? – Stop talking about it. Start doing something to unify everyone. Help your family, neighbor, and even strangers without expecting anything in return. Being a servant to others is the most important job you can do. Place EVERYONE before yourself. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Everybody Wants a Civil War – Until

Everybody Wants a Civil War – Until

We see it on social media, in news reports and political press releases as aggressors are victimized and victims are demonized when violence is confronted. Remember when then President Obama brought the police officer and the “victim” to the White House for a beer together, was it to make amends or to lord over LEOs that the president stands on the side of the offender?

When did politics and law enforcement come together – when we were told that someone mailed suspicious packages to various Democratic legislators and high profile movie stars, then within a relatively short period of time an arrest was made with a white van, remember? The story was leaked to the press and even though picture released were of two different white vans, case closed – bad guy arrested and the story forgotten in the annals’ of history.

Every arrest or apprehension of a bad guy by LEOs was turned into a racial thing. Should it result in the death of the bad guy (offender) it soon became a bad cop thing? What started out as raise your hands and turn around became hands up don’t shoot, remember?

What about the ambush and murder of LEOs called to a potential crime, only to be turned into a crime scene? Officers sitting in their vehicles, shot by unknown suspects and nobody was arrested. When officers responding to a radio call were met with violence ending up in their murder, where was the media outrage?

Sanctuary City Violence in places like Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington where LEOs were told to stand down and only observe, turned quiet streets into chaos and terror for business owners and residents alike. Elected officials sided with criminals and domestic terrorists and demanded federal law enforcement not enter their cities.

Governors activated National Guard military police units in the District of Columbia WITHOUT WEAPONS. What were they supposed to do – dance? Yes that’s what they did because standing around looking like defanged kitty cats made a mockery of our military. Local establishments contaminated food and drink being sold to these soldiers, intent on making them sick or even die from broken glass in pizzas or cleaning solution in drinks – was anybody arrested or charged? No – it was just a mistake!

The offender in Minneapolis was a convicted criminal attempting to commit a crime of using counterfeit currency. Upon being arrested he appeared to be murdered by a bad cop who placed his knee on the neck of the offender for an excessive amount of time. The reaction was one of anger and fear that this bad cop would get away with murder, so he was fired and then charged. Turns out the man died of a drug overdose, confirmed by autopsy. By then the damage had already been done.

BLM and Antifa groups began expanding their campaign of terror and chaos across the nation in the name of George Floyd who became an instant “hero”, idolized by politicians and the media as his funeral was live streamed and law enforcement was publicly demonized once again. Elected officials began holding hands with terrorists while citizens were hung out to dry. Crime flourished and criminals became emboldened to the point that widespread looting, burning of property, injury and even death of innocent bystanders, business owners and residents became common place in America.

Local elected officials gave LEOs orders to stand down when rioting mobs began roaming the streets and citizens in places like St. Louis, Missouri where an armed husband and wife faced down a BLM mob trespassing on private property in a gated community. The couple was charged and the mob remains free.

In Kenosha, Wisconsin an armed 17 year old boy was attacked by 3 felons (1 armed) while protecting a business that had been previously burned. Fearing for his life, he ended up shooting his 3 attackers, killing 2 and was arrested for murder. The BLM mob remains free to continue their reign of terror again because elected officials allowed it to happen. The attackers were treated as heroes while the victim acting in self-defense was arrested and charged with murder.

In cities across the nation citizens are standing up to the unprecedented mob violence when elected officials threaten to reduce funding for LEOs and/or give stand down orders not to enforce certain laws or protect life and property.

Recent violence in the District of Columbia landing at the White House have drawn fire from President Trump for the mayor to stop the violence before federal LEOs will be brought in.

Leftist radicals, domestic terrorists, fascists, Antifa and Black Lives Matter are fighting a civil war with street rules from the playbook of Saul Alinsky who says to use their own rules against them as they will be unable to violate their own rules (loosely paraphrased).

All the civil unrest is a coordinated and organized attack on the government of the United States aimed directly at President Trump in an effort to remove him from office or make his administration ineffective. That leads me once again to believe that one person has organized a community of anarchists intent on causing the government to fail. I say follow the money and it will lead straight back to the source, which may be closer to the White House than you might think. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

What does it mean to be an American?

What does it mean to be an American?

Yeah I know you probably think it’s a ridiculous question but hey what have you got to lose, right? Unless you have lived in another country, ate with other people, slept and breathed the same air or have found yourself adhering to the same laws, customs and traditions you have no idea how fortunate you are to be living in the United States of America and calling yourself an American.

Don’t believe all the hype of the media or the political left, right or center either because they are biased and intent to make you believe the truth is a lie and lies are in fact truth.

I have traveled many roads in Southeast Asia where happy people did not have the creature comforts we enjoy. Cooking over a coal fire and sharing the contents with family, friends and guests brings everyone together smiling, laughing and enjoying the company of each other. The sights and smells of the town market is something I cherish and children playing with a frog always bring a warm smile.

I’ve walked the streets of Panama, fished and swam in the Panama Canal, watched the graceful stingrays in the Atlantic Ocean swimming above me. I’ve been mugged in broad daylight; rescued after midnight while stranded in a boat in the middle of the Panama Canal; always felt the warmth of friendship who really cared.

I’ve traveled from Bremerhaven to Bad Tolz and broke down on the autobahn; picked grapes with family and shared lunch with German friends. I’ve broken the cardinal rule of ordering from a German language menu by price and ending up with a meal I abhorred and could not eat.

I’ve driven the crowded roads in and around Tokyo; watched a bluegrass festival in the forests of Japan; spent the weekend exploring the source of the sulfur pits that smelled like rotten eggs; smelled the cherry blossoms and rode the bullet train; ate meals with many a friend and walked through the snow in Hokkaido eating ice cream.

For friends it is not goodbye – it is See You Later Again!

Of all the places I’ve lived and visited over the years the most welcome sights is that of the Flag of the United States waving over military installations and US Embassies, our piece of Americana that you cannot imagine until you have gone so far from home in a strange and foreign land.

What being an American means to me:

Enjoying freedom that isn’t free.
Putting others before myself
Treating everyone as I want to be treated.
Not lording myself over anyone else, but seeing everyone as equals.
Working to raise my family free from government interference.
Helping my community and neighbors because I can.
Doing my part to help others live the American dream.
Living MY American Dream for a better future for our nation.
Defending the weak and defenseless.
Standing up to the bullies, and there are many.
Lending a helping hand to lift another up, not just giving a handout
Although at times a handout is better than simply ignoring other human beings
Calling evil for what it is
Rewarding good behavior
Holding myself and others accountable

America has been called a melting pot where other peoples, ideas and cultures merge together to develop our own customs and traditions while maintaining our cultural roots. People do not come to America to be hyphenated, but to be accepted as equal, with the same opportunity for employment, advancement and the blessings and riches available for those willing to work hard and achieve their own American Dream. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Searching for American Made

Many years ago I bought a brand new Ford pickup. Drove it off the dealer’s lot and kept it for about 11 years before selling it. One day while looking at the data plate inside the driver side door frame it said assembled in Canada.

Recently while shopping with my wife in a supermarket chain store I remembered I needed a padlock. As I walked through the store I decided that I wanted an American made padlock. I found myself near the back of the store and on the wall were a variety of padlocks in various makes and sizes. So I found one that was the right size and looked at the packaging – Made in China. WRONG! I can do better than that so I kept looking. Another one looked really good – Made in Mexico. Still another made in Canada. So I thought to myself and probably said it out loud – why can’t I find padlock made in the USA? I ended up getting one that was assembled in China from American made parts. Geeze……you got to be kidding me. Doesn’t anybody in the USA make padlocks anymore?

That got me to thinking about how hard it is to really find something made in the USA. I mean something that I want or need right now. If I want a US flag, there are many choices and the ones with the flag saying Made in the U.S.A. are pretty good ones too.

Reality sets in when you need an item then go online. You search for a particular item and it comes up rather quickly. The price is right and it’s a bit cheaper than in a local store and shipping is free. WOW! I recently took a chance on a doorbell camera. The item was described as a second generation model and free shipping. The item came in a couple of days and when I opened it, it wasn’t even the item described in the ad. Right away I contacted the seller and complained they had advertised item “A” but sent item “B” (a completely different item). I asked for return authorization. They said I couldn’t return it as their warehouse was in China.

So I searched again and found the name brand item I was looking for and as a reconditioned item the price was right and I ordered it. I had it in a day or two and the box was the right brand and I was happy that finally I had the item I wanted. I opened the box and yes it was the name brand I had ordered. Just for kicks I looked at the back of the item and it said made in China.

There was a time when workers signed their name to their work as a sign of quality. I haven’t seen that much anymore. The old adage that “it’s good enough for government work” seems to infer there are no standards. Do they even do that anymore? There is one name that stands for quality workmanship and it’s very pronounced so it cannot be missed. Unknowingly people falsely assume it is a sign of flaunting the name. In a way maybe it is but in reality the name TRUMP signifies extreme quality in construction.

There is a computer company that manufactures mobile devices and people are amazed that it took quite a long time for it to be rated as a fortune 500 company then in just a few short years it became ten times more valuable. It’s not that hard to understand after realizing that they moved their assembly line to China where it costs less to produce their product and Americans will gladly pay for their new technological inventions.

I challenge you to shop around no matter what you are about to purchase. Check the brand, look at the device and examine the country of origin to see if it really is a really good deal or was it even made in America? There have been various trade agreements whereby poultry and livestock were slaughtered in the US, shipped to China or other overseas locations to be processed and then shipped back to US consumers. That has to stop. American made products should be available throughout America before they are replaced by foreign made products. I have travelled extensively overseas and I often find myself looking for made in USA labels on brand name items. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Time Waits for Nobody

Here we are on the eve of the most important presidential election in the history of our nation. The candidates have stated their goals, plans and aspirations for the transformation of America. In essence battle lines have been drawn. There is no in between, you are either for or against them based on your assessment of their political track record or your perception of their character.

Forget all the smoke and mirrors tactics of past elections. Disregard all the hype coming out of the media, across the internet, television or radio. The ads are designed to draw you in by making you feel good or feel bad depending on which side of the political spectrum you support. What matters is whether either candidate supports your basic core values or religious beliefs.

Maybe I’m a realist, or just a plain old fantasist call me whatever fits your narrative but I believe the cup is half full so that we as patriotic Americans can fill it back up with what’s important to us. The sweat of hard work is sweet when providing for family, having a safe environment to raise our children, grandchildren and their children and being able to go to a place to worship God as I choose.

I believe in the rule of law as defined by the US Constitution. The right to peaceful assembly is not the right to bring anarchy and chaos to our doorstep, just know that you will be stopped.

I also believe that when you throw your hat into the political arena you shine a spotlight on yourself. Good, bad or indifferent the reflection is you. Don’t seek political power to gain financially at the expense of your constituents. Say what you mean. Do what you said you would. Treat everyone as you wish to be treated. Put others before yourself. Politics is more than just a game and it should be seen as a means to make life better for everyone.

I consider mandating a threatening act and I don’t like to be threatened. I consider lying as lying and I don’t like to be lied to. Giving your word is more important than signing your name to a written lie with no intent to honor it.

Professions I watch out for: Doctors, Lawyers and Politicians – each have their place and are needed at times, yet all are dispensable. Never mess with or in mom’s kitchen. Never tee off your barber, cook, dentist, or undertaker. Customer Service means exactly that – serve to satisfy your customer.

American’s have a choice on November 3^rd – to vote or not. Inform yourself on the issues (taxes, welfare, public safety, abortion and every issue important to you) and how each candidate stands on those issues. Then when you vote you then have the right to complain or challenge your elected officials on their conduct in office. When you do not vote (no matter the reason) you forfeit that right and should just remain silent. Voting is a right of citizenship. Choosing to not vote is giving up that right.

When politicians promise to fix things, look at their political track record? Are their promises things they could or should have already done or are their promises things they have been doing to or for Americans? Keep in mind there are no PERFECT politicians. Politics is a game of compromises (give up to get). Are you better off now, than you were before? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Choose Wisely Grasshopper

The political divide in America has never been wider and the choices clearer that they are and you don’t need hindsight to see the fallacy of the left in 2020. Like many of you what I see happening in our cities is truly sickening. Emboldened by the rioting in Portland and Seattle, domestic terrorists and fascists and Marxist groups are openly attacking law enforcement, federal facilities and innocent civilians while the Democratically elected officials like Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot are concerned with their personal safety. Her house is surrounded by a high steel fence with LEOs guarding entrances insuring that neither protestors nor the media get too close.

We do not hear condemnation of the violence from governors, mayors or city council members nor are there requests for federal assistance (except $$). Constitutionally (state and federal) these elected officials are charged with the public safety of everyone, not just their own immediate family or private property. To act selfishly while ignoring the rioting, assaults and murder is a violation of public trust and a gross abuse of power and misuse of their elected office.

I charge you to look at what’s happening in your neighborhood. Is it safe to walk the streets at night? I mean is it really safe to take an evening stroll through your part of town? Do you feel safe sitting on the porch at night talking with family and friends? In many neighborhoods it is not. Drive by shootings and home invasions plague many inner city neighborhoods and into the suburbs.

This is a critical election year. If you watched the DNC “Convention” you will have seen what they promise for America should you vote for their Democratic Party candidates. They (the Democratic Party candidates) have promised to raise your taxes; Defund local law enforcement and/or abolish the Police; Open our borders and tear down the wall between the US and Mexico; Mandate $15 per hour minimum wage; Free college education; Forgiveness of college loans; Medicare for All (socialized medicine); and even if ill advised by scientists to shut down the entire nation indefinitely; and Mandating mail-in voting for all.

Rioting, Demonstrating, Vandalizing and Assaulting or Murder is not a right protected or defined in the Constitution, they are criminal acts and violators must be held accountable.

The RNC “Convention” has not happened yet, but President Trump has promised to fight for American First, jobs, more wages, lower taxes and restore public safety to America. The future of America depends upon YOU. Your vote counts.

It doesn’t matter whether you love or hate Trump.

That is your choice.

However it is your responsibility to go to the polls and vote. Do it in person or by choosing to vote with an absentee ballot. Voting is a citizen’s right and cannot nor should not be mandated. Voting Democrat or Republican is also your choice. Choosing not to vote is a choice (by default) and robs you of the right to complain about government intervention or abuse of their elected office. Voting is a responsibility and I urge you to choose wisely grasshopper. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Black Lives Matter from an Idea to a Movement

8-21-2020

Black Lives Matter from an Idea to a Movement

I’d like to believe that someone conceived an idea to draw attention to black lives being taken by violent criminals. It did not turn out to be an overnight success as nobody was listening or paying attention. The election of Barack Obama in 2008 must have sparked the idea that a black president would lend credibility to this idea and it might become a mighty movement bringing sweeping changes across the nation. And after his inauguration in 2009 there were opportunities for the leader of the Black Lives Matter organization in Seattle, Washington to be invited to the Oval Office in Washington DC. It must have been frustrating after 8 years of an Obama presidency and the spark had not yet ignited. There was no BLM movement, there were no BLM protests. Nobody gave it a second thought.

What was happening was black lives were still being taken by violence particularly in the inner cities of America’s major cities. Many lives were lost to gang violence, drugs and occasionally by law enforcement. In fact there was no action being taken by the administration to stop the violence.

In the underworld of violent crime things were about to change when Donald Trump was elected in 2016 and was inaugurated in 2017. Not only was violent crime surging upward, but inner city crime was taking even more lives, black lives.

I don’t have all the answers, in fact I don’t have any of the answers. But what I do know is someone was orchestrating something big, something that would bring George H.W. Bush’s Shock and Awe to the heartland of America. It had to be spectacular with unlimited funding and precisely executed. What was lacking was the catalyst.

Minneapolis, Minnesota was the epicenter and the apparent murder of a black man at the hands of a police officer became the spark. Within hours the community was outraged and began protesting in the streets the death of George Floyd. The manner in which this incident was mishandled created a stain on police officers nationwide.

That is where opportunity came knocking. The Black Lives Matter organization in Seattle, Washington sprang into action to capitalize on the situation. Shirts were made, banners created and protesters were moved into position from across the nation on buses, planes and probably trains to reinforce public sentiment during this volatile time. Not to be outdone and most likely unbeknownst to BLM a Marxist group (Antifa) hijacked this new BLM movement by inserting themselves in the mix, donning the distinctive apparel of BLM and turning it into a nationwide movement of violence, intimidation, and burning, looting and utter chaos.

What could have been deescalated rather early on was given the green light, the tacit approval by Democratic officials at city and state level and across many state lines and even given the OK by members of Congress. The idea was to create uncontrollable chaos in the streets of America so that voters would relish the idea of removing President Trump from office and keep him from being re-elected.

As with any mob violence left unchecked it swells and many innocent people are caught up in the violence and many lives, black lives are lost needlessly. As violence increases, tensions rise and any attempt to utilize National Guard forces and/or federal taskforces are met with strong resistance by the elected officials who swore to protect and defend their constituents. It then goes a step further as local officials cave in to the crazy ideas like “defund the police” and “abolish the police” where anything and everything goes, except law and order. We’ve seen governors; mayors and city council officials clearly side with the lawlessness by instructing law enforcement to stand down; calling on attorney generals to not prosecute violent offenders; and demanding federal taskforces to leave clearly not in the best interests of those living in the affected cities.

There have been “BLM murals” painted on buildings, and on city streets declaring Black Lives Matter. Even a blind man could see they matter little to those in elected positions of responsibility and when a leader of a BLM “chapter” makes a public statement that NO LIVES MATTER UNTIL BLACK LIVES MATTER FIRST they have just invalidated their entire argument. When racists in Congress proudly display their disregard for American values defined by the US Constitution, it becomes time to remove them from office at the ballot box. And just for curiosity’s sake, how can so many elected officials afford to maintain two households (one in their home state, the other in Washington), pay their staff in both locations AND become millionaires on the salary of a public servant? Asking for a friend = America!

President John F. Kennedy did NOT say to ask what your country can do for you. It’s not about entitlements, reparations or getting free stuff at government expense. The expense is born by American taxpayers & Freedom isn’t Free! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Hypocrisy Revealed

Hypocrisy Revealed

The double standard of the democratic left has been on full display for all to see. “The Hunt for Red Trump” reminds me of the movie with Sean Connery as the Russian submarine captain trying to defect. Only this is no movie and while President Trump is fighting for the soul of the nation democrats on the left are fighting for full control of the nation and its people. This is not an overnight sensation as it has been going on for well over 21 years. Every President has had to deal with it but seem to capitulate or embrace it rather than confront the menace it has become until now.

The recent events of 2020 leave little hindsight to look back on. The continuation of the failed Russian Collusion Delusion led to the impeachment of President Trump without a crime, the criminalization of members of the President’s campaign and administration.

Throw the radicalization of domestic terrorist groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter spreading violence faster than a wildfire wreaking havoc upon America like never before. Innocent lives lost, immeasurable damage to public and private property and rather than condemning the violence politicians actually aided the violators. Many were simply catch and release in the revolving door justice system of New York politics, while the hunt for wrong doings continue with the recent arrest of Steve Bannon a former Trump campaign staffer. New York City is experiencing an increase in crime and many of the rich and famous have already left the city, moving to more hospitable cities and even moving their business enterprises with them because of the craziness of Mayor DE Blasio and Governor Cuomo’s handling of crime and the virus which have turned NYC into a disaster area.

Has the violence stopped in Portland, Oregon where Antifa and BLM openly attack police and citizens at random and at will?

Has the violence stopped in Seattle, Washington where Antifa and BLM assaulted the city center, claiming their separate nation of CHAD, later known as CHOP where police were not allowed to enter? What about vandalizing the Mayor’s residence? A mayor who basically said they were young people having fun or some such nonsense.

I haven’t even mentioned Minneapolis, Minnesota; Houston, Texas; Los Angeles and San Francisco, California; Denver, Colorado; Detroit, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois or …….wait a minute let’s take a quick at Chicago.

All the defund the police hyperbole coming from places like Chicago where Mayor Lori Lightfoot (it’s only fair to use her name as she recently showed her true colors) actively promoted reducing funding for Chicago Police without dismissing her personal security detail, just yesterday made some brazen statements that tell how she really feels underneath the political mask of the Democrat Party. During what must have been a heated interview she blurted out for protesters to go back to unimportant neighborhoods and stay out of her neighborhood as she claimed she had a right to protect her home? That coming from a public official such as Chicago where innocent lives are lost due to gun violence EVERY DAY and Mayor Lightfoot has a responsibility to provide public safety to everyone in Chicago. I’d say it’s time for the mayor to step down, immediately if not sooner. It’s not so much because of what she said, but it’s shirking her responsibility and making Chicago a more violent city by failing to provide a safe environment for the people who live there.

There are many other cities with Democrat Party leadership at city and state levels who fail to provide safe cities. Baltimore, Maryland’s mayor claimed people are not leaving in droves. Aren’t droves how the cowboys used to move cattle across the prairies? I’d say people are tired of not mattering to the politicians who claim to have their backs, but buy into the BLM insanity. This insanity could have been prevented had it not been enable by former President Barack H. Obama who invited the BLM leader into the Oval Office on more than one occasion during his eight years in office.

That brings me to my next point. If you watched the DNC Convention (I did not) you might have seen it was the most unconventional convention ever. Prerecorded speakers, juggling acts and from the basement sleepy Joe Biden and the chameleon Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic Party nomination to run against President Trump and Vice President Pence. What you would also have seen and heard was a who’s who of orators blaming all the issues of the nation on the current administration, even placing blame for their misadministration of justice, honor and freedom over the previous eight years of Obama/Biden. It kind of reminded me of some recent funerals where speaker after speaker came to the podium to remember the deceased while bashing the sitting President, and against tradition – by the living former Presidents. Sure glad they didn’t call upon the dead presidents to speak.

And did I mention the WuFlu, Coronavirus? How did they come up with the term Corona? Was it a couple of guys sitting around drinking Corona and they were the experts? I hope not. Seriously this virus should have been called ElectionVirus-19 because it appeared just prior to the upcoming 2020 Presidential Election and has grown steadily worse in the fear driven media. All the so called medical experts have taken the unprecedented position of discrediting a well proven drug that has worked well for over 75 years. A drug that has proven effective for the COVID-19 in early stage prevention and treatment and chosen to sideline it and bench EVERY medical doctor who has come out in support of its successful use. Even social media has taken to silence dissenting voices by removing, blocking or suspending the accounts of those who speak out in favor of its use.

The Democratic Party’s congressional leadership in the House and Senate are committed to one thing and one thing only – that President Trump not be re-elected. The DNC convention brought all the failed party former officials who are each in their own right responsible for the condition of the nation. America has been shut down because of a virus with a 99.9% survival rate, while Wuhan, China (the epicenter of the virus) is back to normal. Let that sink in!

I will close with these words, “The reason I am standing before you as President is because President Obama and Joe Biden did a terrible job!” President Donald J. Trump – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Stacking the Deck

Stacking the Deck

The term to “stack the deck” is an American idiom used in various contexts simply means to cheat or fix something to achieve ones desired outcome.

In the world of business stacking the deck is where one could take credit for the work of another to get that coveted promotion.

In gambling stacking the deck might be to add or arrange cards in order to win.

In politics stacking the deck could be called insider trading where knowledge or strategically placed contacts will give one the advantage in an election like evidence supporting opposing arguments is rejected, omitted or simply ignored.

Over the past 4 years of the Trump presidency we’ve seen “Stacking the deck” as a technique that’s commonly used in propaganda. A legitimate crisis is downplayed while opposition politics creates manufactured crisis which cannot be ignored. Arguments presenting counterevidence is slanting or one-sided assessments imply and use fear to drive voters.

Look back at the political implications that President Trump is a womanizer, sexual abuser, self-centered bigot, and racist, homophobic and hates he women. Every one of those accusations has been proven false by the very nature of his words and actions.

What has also been proven is that Trump is out of control, out of the leftist politicians control and is not one to back down when faced with threats or intimidation. When faced with massive waves of migrant convoy’s intent on crashing the US border, he closed the border. Then Trump went a step further and applied pressure on Central American governments to stop the flow of migrants headed north. This was a different tactic than the open border agenda of the Obama administration.

When faced with national disaster’s Trump went on the ground where he met and talked with American’s affected by the disaster. He instructed federal agencies to expedite relief supplies and funds directly to the areas and people in need.

When faced with civil unrest within the nation Trump unleashed federal DOJ taskforces to restore law and order to communities in which Democratic lead mayors and governors strongly resisted federal intervention, yet did nothing to stop the violence or protect the citizens in their areas.

The one strikingly clear picture Americans have seen repeated over and over has been the resistance of a democratically led congress. The failed impeachment of President Trump and the constant drone of oversight investigations that lead nowhere should be an obvious indicator that Congressional Democrats have intentionally “stacked the deck” in an effort of removing this president from office and have committed themselves to doing whatever is necessary to prevent his re-election at all costs.

There have been direct and repeated threats against the family and life of President Trump made by sitting members of congress, former officials of both the Obama and Trump administrations and most recently one by Speaker Nancy Pelosi that “he won’t be president in 2021, one way or another!”

It’s been said that doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is a sign of insanity and the Democrats have been using the same failed playbook for more than 4 years achieving the same failed results.

The 2020 Democratic debates and subsequent DNC Convention all show that common sense has not been in play in the Democratic Party for quite some time. They are clearly NOT the party of the common man, the working man or woman on the streets of America. Their interests are not the betterment of an America to be proud of, but forcing their power by the submission of voters to cast their ballots for democratic candidates or face the wrath of Antifa and Black Lives Matter thugs with the power to vandalize, maim and kill with impunity anyone who stands in opposition.

The promises of the Biden/Harris ticket are to tax, tax and more taxes; gun confiscation or imprisonment; defund law enforcement; eliminate oil production in America and continue the shutdown of America until there is no more resistance.

Don’t believe me? Listen and read for yourselves the political promises made by the Biden/Harris team. Look at their track record of political accomplishments. Is lying, cheating “stacking the deck”, sexual manipulation for purely political gain the qualities you approve of and accept?

Choose:

President Trump 3 ½ years working for America, without pay and fighting a resistant Congress; while securing our border; stopping drugs and human traffickers; and addressing the international community’s failure to adequately pay for America’s protection; lowering taxes; bringing manufacturing jobs back on American soil and more.

Biden = 36 years in Congress, 8 years as Obama’s VP and 4 years of selling China’s unimportance.

Harris = 13 years in California politics in AG’s office and as AG putting many in prison for minor offenses and standing up for violators against children, the 3 ½ years in Senate – actively resisting Trump.

November 3^rd is Election Day in America. Your choice, your vote can make a difference, and will surely make a statement about you. Voting Red, Blue or not at all is a statement you will forever live with. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The USPS Course Correction

Going Postal - Branco

The USPS Course Correction

I don’t buy into the false premise hoisted by congressional democrats and others who say the Post Master General Louis DeJoy is doing President Trumps bidding in order to inhibit mail delivery of ballots in the 2020 election, thereby insuring a Republican victory. That would be attempting to influence an election and that would be wrong.

What is also attempting to influence an election is pandering fear and spreading lies about the President and/or the USPS without knowing any of the “facts” or in the case of congress actually knowing what they are spreading are not facts but outright lies. So are media headlines about “Trumps war on the USPS” threatening to withhold funding to stop mail-in ballots from getting to the polls in time?

The Constitution states that voting is a right of US citizens. Registered voters know they must exercise that right so their one and only vote can be counted. Military personnel and those who are absent from their precinct are able to request absentee ballots be sent to their current address where they can vote early and mail those ballots back to their home precinct.

Postal officials have declared that if they can manage 25M Christmas Cards during the holidays they can surely handle processing ballots for the election, as they have always done in the past. They have said there is no shortage of funding that will impact processing mail well into 2021 should additional funding not be approved until then.

One big “issue” according to congressional democrats is the removal of big blue mail collection boxes by Postal employees in certain areas. This is not seen as a cost saving measure or relocating boxes to new construction or areas sorely needing but not having these collection boxes available.

Everyone knows that the cost of postage has been going up steadily every year and it is now close to $0.50 to mail a letter, as inflation rises, so do postage rates.

Congressional democrats and their media lackeys would have you to believe that President Trump appointed the PMG to do his dirty work. How uninformed they must be to not know that the 75th Post Master General Louis DeJoy was appointed by the USPS Board of Governors in June 2020. Oops!

Mr. DeJoy has spent more than 35 years growing and managing a successful nationwide logistics company. As Chairman and CEO of New Breed Logistics, he has spent decades in collaboration with the USPS, Boeing, Verizon, Disney, United Technologies and other public and private companies to provide supply chain logistics, program management and transportation support. New Breed Logistics was a contractor for the USPS for more than 25 years, supplying logistics support for multiple processing facilities. The company received Quality Supplier Awards from the USPS on four separate occasions.

In 2014, New Breed merged with XPO Logistics and DeJoy served as CEO of XPO Logistics’ supply chain business in the Americas before his retirement in December 2015. He then served on the company’s board of directors until 2018.

As PMG, DeJoy has committed to creating a long-term, viable operating model for the Postal Service that will insure the organization can fulfill its public service mission while remaining self-sustaining.

DeJoy is a member of the Board of Trustees at Elon University in North Carolina and the Fund for American Studies in Washington, DC. He received his Bachelor of Business Administration from Stetson University.

I can see why he was nominated by the USPS Board of Governors to head USPS. In my humble opinion he is exactly the right man for the job at this critical time in the USPS transformation process. For those who say he has no experience with USPS I say bullhockey.

During the Presidency of George W. Bush the Postal Service began to change with the Postal Act of 2006, the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act is the first major legislative change to the Postal Service since 1971. It significantly changed how the USPS operates and conducts business. The Act provided new flexibility in competitive pricing for shipping services, enabling the Postal Service to respond to dynamic market conditions and changing customer needs for packages.

As the Postal Service has worked to implement the Act, modernize its business, and take advantage of new opportunities for growth, it has remained loyal to the principles established to help guide implementation of the Act. The Postal Service’s mission remains the same: to provide trusted, universal service at affordable prices.

I believe that continued change is not only inevitable but necessary for the USPS. When businesses fail it can be a combination of leadership, politics or the union and because the Postal Service is such a huge operation there has to be a time for someone has to step in and determine what went wrong and how to fix it. The unique problem with the Postal Service is that it is a government agency with bureaucratic red tape and congressional oversight.

President Trump in 3 ½ years began reducing bureaucratic red tape almost immediately after the inauguration in 2017. So for congress to blame the President for something they have had hands on with congressional oversight is a bit much, even 83 days before a major presidential election.

The real reason for all the fuss was not for Speaker Pelosi to bring the House back in session to help Americans affected by this global pandemic, but to try one more time to place the blame of her attempt to create panic over voters not having their voices heard because it’s not safe to vote in person.

Give me a break, give me a break, just hand me a piece of that ice cream bar. The one Speaker Pelosi has stashed in the $17,000 freezer in her home in San Francisco. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
