In the Days of Adam – Trump

 

In the days of Adam, God said do not eat of the tree of life or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The serpent deceived Eve, they ate and in that instant they sinned against God. They were banished from the Garden of Eden, to work the fields and to bare children the days of their lives.

 

In the days of Noah, God said build an ark exactly as I tell you. The people laughed and perished for their unbelief. Noah and his family believed God.

 

In the days of Moses, God said raise up both arms with your staff. God parted the waters and the people crossed over. Moses lowered his arms and the pursuing armies perished.

 

In the days of Mary, God said you will be overshadowed by the Holy Spirit and become pregnant with a Son who will save all mankind. Mary said as you have said let it be done unto me and her Son was named Jesus.

 

In the days of Jesus, God said point the way. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me. Jesus was born, lived a sinless life, died on the tree for the sins of the world and rose again on the third day to be seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven.

 

In each case cited in the Word of God, man was chosen, based upon their availability and obedience, God made a way where there was no way.

 

There are many other instances in the bible where God has called out to man to be instruments of his choosing whereby God would make his presence known to his people.

 

In the days of George Washington, God selected a leader among men to lead this nation to become a light upon a hill that the world would see what God has done.

 

In the days of Abraham Lincoln, God selected a man from the people to lead a divided nation so God could heal their wounds and unite the nation.

 

In the days of Franklin Roosevelt, God selected a man to lead the nation through troubled times after 12-7-1941. The task was continued with Harry Truman to wrap up the war and help the nation heal.

 

In the days of John Kennedy, God selected a man to lead the nation in a changing world. The task was continued with Lyndon Johnson as new wars raged on.

 

In the days of Richard Nixon, God selected a man to bring the nation through perilous times, and the task was continued with Gerald Ford.

 

In the days of Ronald Reagan, God selected a man of strength to lead the nation during times of trouble to bring forth the light upon a hill.

 

In the days of George H.W. Bush, God selected a leader, a politician to demonstrate strength during troubled times in a changing world.

 

In the days of George W. Bush, God selected a leader, to bring a nation through tumultuous times as the world changed forever on 9-11-2001.

 

In the days of Barack Obama, God gave the people a leader whom they wanted to demonstrate their racial tolerance and political correctness gripped the nation.

 

I was once asked by a young man of 12 years old who the greatest president was. My response was simple, the current president things he is the greatest and the previous president it thought to be the worst. We have seen the best and the worst of presidents over time. Yet God continues to choose the right man or woman for the right job and at the right time. The very best place to be is in the perfect will of God for your life. There are many examples in modern times where God has yielded to the people their wishes and desires, so that they might know and fear the creator God of the bible. Many times man seeks to be in control of their own destiny, but in reality it is Almighty God who gives the next heart beat and the next breath to everyone according to his pleasure.

 

In the days of Donald Trump, Love him or hate him, the choice is up to you. God’s ways are not man’s ways. God uses what others cast off to do the impossible, but with God all things are possible. God selected a leader to be a warrior against the spirit of political correctness and return the fear of God to the nation.

 

Nobody knows what tomorrow brings nor can anyone go back in time to yesterday. Our purpose on this earth is simply to love the Lord your God with all of your strength, mind and soul. We are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Too often we don’t like who we are and attempt to re-create what God has ordained us to be, as confirmed by out birth.

 

This earth will not last forever. Our earthly bodies are temporal and will return to the dust of the earth after our eternal soul departs. It matters not whether you believe in life after death (there is) or hell as a real place (it is). What really matters is that you recognize that Almighty God loves YOU with the same intensity that he loves even me. It is not his will that anyone should perish. Hell was created for the devil and the angels of darkness. Man is the only being who chooses hell over eternal life with God the Father.

 

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

 

Matthews 6:24, “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

 

The time is now, “Whom will you serve?” – I am the Real Truckmaster!

A Look at Alinsky’s Rules for Power – EXPOSED

 

When Hillary Diane Rodham was in college she interviewed Saul Alinsky for her thesis. It would seem that she grew to idolize him and stored it away in her memory bank for possible future use.

 

As some point during his college education Barry Sotoro also came across the writings of Saul Alinsky. He too was impressed by his ideology and stored it away in his memory bank for possible future use. After changing his name to Barack Hussain Obama he was appointed to the Illinois state senate before running and winning the U.S. Senate for Illinois.

 

These two individuals driven by the ideology of Saul Alinsky and his writings collided during the 2008 Presidential election campaign cycle. They learned so well learn how to manipulate American voters and one individual eclipsed the other to win first the Democrat Party nomination, then the election and was inaugurated on 20 January 2009 as the 44^th President of the United States – Barack Hussain Obama.

 

Not sitting idly by nor forgetting the writings of Saul Alinsky, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton literally adapted her 2015 – 2016 campaign to the principles listed below. She followed this platform so perfectly so it would seem that winning the election and becoming the first female president was certainly within her grasp.

 

 

Rules for Radicals

Alinsky’s Rules for Power

 

From Rules for Radicals

by Saul Alinsky

 

Tactics mean doing what you can with what you have.

 

Tactics are those conscious deliberate acts by which human beings live with each other and deal with the world around them. In the world of give and take, tactics is the art of how to take and how to give. Here our concern is with the tactic of taking; how the Have-Nots can take power away from the Haves.

 

For an elementary illustration of tactics, take parts of your face as the point of reference; your eyes, your ears, and your nose.

 

• First the eyes; If you have organized a vast, mass-based people’s organization, you can parade it visibly before the enemy and openly show your power.

 

• Second the ears; If your organization is small in numbers, then…conceal the members in the dark but raise a din and clamor that will make the listener believe that your organization numbers many more than it does.

 

• Third, the nose; If your organization is too tiny even for noise, stink up the place.

 

Always remember the rules of power tactics.

 

First rule:

 

Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

 

Second:

 

Never go outside the experience of your people. When an action is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear, and retreat.

 

Third:

 

Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.

 

The fourth rule:

 

Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.

 

The fourth rule carries within it the fifth rule

 

The Fifth rule:

 

Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.

 

Sixth rule:

 

A good tactic is one that your people enjoy. If your people are not having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.

 

A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time, after which it becomes a ritualistic commitment.

 

Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.

 

The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.

 

The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.

 

If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative.

 

The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.

You cannot risk being trapped by the enemy in his suddenly agreeing with your demand and saying “You’re right – we don’t know what to do about this issue. Now you tell us.”

 

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

 

In conflict tactics there are certain rules that the organizer should always regard as universalities.

 

One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and “frozen.” By this I mean that in a complex, interrelated, urban society, it becomes increasingly difficult to single out who is to blame for any particular evil. There is a constant, and somewhat legitimate, passing of the buck. The target is always trying to shift responsibility to get out of being the target.

 

One of the criteria in picking your target is the target’s vulnerability – where do you have the power to start?

 

Furthermore, the target can always say, “Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?” When you “freeze the target,” you disregard these arguments and, for the moment, all others to blame.

 

Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all of the “others” come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target.

 

The other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract such as a community’s segregated practices or a major corporation or City Hall. It is not possible to develop the necessary hostility against, say, City Hall, which after all is a concrete, physical, inanimate structure, or against a corporation, which has no soul or identity, or a public school administration, which again is an inanimate system.

 

Power goes to two poles: to those who’ve got money and those who’ve got people.

 

Born in 1909 Saul Alinsky was a community organizer and organizer trainer in Chicago. He was a champion of confrontational tactics. Alinsky wrote two books on tactics and a biography of Mineworker president John L. Lewis.

 

Fred Ross, a student of Alinsky, was a major influence on Cesar Chavez, founder of the United Farm Workers union.

 

 

After reading this article it is perfectly clear that these principles (target, freeze, polarize and attack) can be used successfully against the attacker. When Barack Obama circumvented the Democrat front runner in a run from behind to beat Hillary Clinton in the 2008 campaign to gain the nomination nobody saw him coming and he went on to beat Republican John McCain for the presidency.

 

During the 2016 presidential campaign Hillary Clinton tried unsuccessfully using the same tactics against Republican Donald Trump. What she failed to recognize was that political and personal attacks did not hurt Trump and he counter-attacked using similar tactics and failed to realize that she could not out-trump Trump. She could have used a few pointers in Trump’s first book “The Art of the Deal”.

 

This resulted in Trump winning the election and he was inaugurated on 20 January 2017 as the 45^th President of the United States. That should have been the end of it, but liberals and Democrats across the nation plunged headlong into what has been described as TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).

 

There was a total meltdown of common sense as marches, protesting and rioting began in carefully orchestrated venues and cities across the nation. The protests included members of Congress boycotting the inauguration, the state of the union address and going full head on in resistance mode against anything Trump. This was a case of targeting, freezing, personalizing and polarizing President Donald Trump.

 

It also brought into play the First Rule, “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy things you have”. All the marches gave the façade of huge masses of dissatisfied voters, when in reality the voters were what gave Donald Trump the victory in the election.

 

This brought into play the Second Rule, “Never go outside the experience of your people or the result will be confusion, fear and retreat”. The experience of these liberals is to malign, slander and discredit which seems pretty typical for those with legal training.

 

The Third Rule, “Whenever possible go outside the experience of the enemy where you want to cause confusion, fear and retreat”. This works when the target is a political powerhouse who is primarily interested in maintaining enough votes to remain in office. It doesn’t work particularly well when the target is Trump who is not a politician and knows in advance who his enemies are.

 

The Fourth Rule, “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.” This is where you take their rhetoric and shove it down their throats in spirited debates or through repeated public service announcements or campaign ads. This is where the target deflects or redirects this back in a counterattack.

 

The Fifth Rule, “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s almost impossible to counterattack ridicule, as it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage”. Hillary should have paid special attention to the word “Impossible”, because once again you can’t out-trump Trump. His counterattacks are instantaneous and very effective.

 

The Sixth Rule, “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy”; “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag” & “Keep the pressure on”. This rule is a 3-part one, but your people only enjoy using this tactic when it’s not directed against them personally or when they run out of things to say or invent as they try to keep the pressure on. We’ve seen this constantly as the media, television personalities and athletics look for ways to take “Trump speak” to new levels where it comes across as Fake News.

 

According to Alinsky, “The threat is more terrifying than the real thing itself”; “Development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition” & “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside, because every positive has its negative”; “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative” “Don’t risk being trapped by the enemy by him suddenly agreeing with you and asking what you would do”.

 

Why else do you think the “Caravan” scare was announced so far in advanced and reported on with daily regularity? Same thing happened with “Family Separations” just before that. And don’t forget the “gun control” and “second amendment” attacks on taking guns from law abiding gun owners.

 

“Like getting guns off the streets will make everyone safer”. This premise has no basis or foundation as taking guns away from lawful gun owners simply allows unlawful gun owners free reign to perpetuate random acts of violence.

 

According to Alinsky, “In conflict tactics there are certain rules that should always be regarded as universalities”

 

“The opposition must be singled out as the target and frozen. It’s increasingly difficult to single out who is to blame for any particular evil”; “The target must have a vulnerability, where you have the power to start.”

 

“When you freeze the target, you disregard all arguments to blame others”.

“Then you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack. This will bring out all others who are visible by their support.”

 

“The other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract. It is not necessary to develop the hostility against City Hall, or a corporation or public school administration which is an inanimate system”

 

This is why it was necessary to personify Donald Trump as the target. Singling out Trump enables the attacking of his person, family, business dealings, domestic and foreign policy and his proven passion for beautiful women. By pressing these attacks (putting on the pressure) the target (Trump) is kept off balance, constantly defending and unable to perform effectively.

 

Alinsky, “Power goes to two poles: to those who’ve got money and those who’ve got people.”

 

This was an unforeseen development in choosing Donald Trump as the target. He is not your typical politician. He has no “need” to become president. He already has money “power” and people “voters” and therefore the two poles have come together nicely.

 

President Donald Trump has been a fighter his entire life. He knows how to scrap on the streets and in the corporate boardroom. Trump is someone who does not fall down without getting back up and when he comes up he comes up swinging.

 

I’ve written about it before, but nobody counted on the “God” factor affecting the outcome of the US elections. It was revealed early on during the campaign that God had chosen a special man for a special task. A man whom others looked down upon as unsuited to the presidency and who did not know God (profess to be a Christian).

 

Because God’s ways are not man’s ways, man was ultimately surprised when God chose a “swordsman” and not an “evangel” to become president. In the manner of Isaiah 45, God chose Donald Trump to be an “Isaiah 45” president; a scrapper who would not quit and was committed until he achieved or completed the task to which he had been chosen for.

 

America must see through the “smoke and mirrors” of the evil one who has been waging a battle against Almighty God from the time he was caste out of Heaven and banished to the realm of the earth. It’s not a battle between good and evil like we are led to believe. It is a battle of evil against God. The outcome has been predetermined and evil loses.

 

We are in the end times of an earth that is not our mother or has no feelings, no soul and yet is undergoing birth pains (earthquakes, fires, floods, famine, wars and rumors of wars in diverse places). There are many who say it will pass, but they are fooling only themselves.

 

I ask, “DO YOU KNOW JESUS?” In the bible (John 3:16) we are told that Jesus is the way to the Father God. There is no other way. The time to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior is now while you still breathe the breath of life. It is not by works, but by the grace of Almighty God who wishes none to perish, but that all would live with Him eternally. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Will you accept him right now? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Coming to America

 

Look behind the scenes and forget about the political posturing over these so called asylum seeking migrants and the Trump administration’s refusal to simply let them in. By now it’s clear that this was an orchestrated “invasion” attempt by 3^rd and 4^th parties of undeclared origin whose only purpose was to take unfair advantage of simple, ordinary people who want to raise their families.

 

Clearly there were those who are troublemakers and criminal elements with the intent of breeching a hole in American sovereignty and consisting of known MS-13 gang members and others who traffic in human cargo and drugs with the intent of getting on US soil to continue their unlawful enterprise.

 

We saw the assault on the border, with staged “events” using CS gas canisters from the Mexican authorities and trying to pass them off as having been lobbed by agents of the US border patrol.

 

Even as they were being formed up in Central America and prior to their trek northward, media outlets and reporters were beefing up the story of these poor immigrant families preparing to walk 2,000 miles northward to enter the United States. Along the way someone obviously thought calling it a walk for asylum was a good idea and heart wrenching.

 

Why would a people willing to work in the United States not simply go to the nearest US Embassy and apply for a work permit visa? There would be no disruption of life for families and no hazardous journey on the hopes of gaining entry. Children would not suffer along the way. Women would not face the threat of being raped or murdered at the whim of criminals. Fathers would not worry about having to defend their families from intruders or outsiders. This was a political stunt on the world stage, an effort to test American resolve see if the sovereignty of a nation would stand. I think it’s a dress rehearsal for something more intense in the making.

 

A universal law, whether written or not, calls for someone seeking asylum to do so at the first country they come to by showing proof of their fear of social, political or religious persecution. Those wishing to gain asylum in the United States would then apply at the nearby US Embassy. Those receiving asylum would be given documentation and possibly transportation to the United States where they would be assigned a sponsor, provided temporary assistance (housing, medical, job assistance, etc.) and expected to become productive members of our society and provided a path to citizenship. This process happens every day in America but is not something easily done in a day or two.

 

Those who are denied or turned down for entry have no “right” to combat any government over their laws or to claim they are being discriminated against. They must simply go home or try applying elsewhere.

 

 

What have happened in the United States are politicians who are willing to weaken national security because they don’t like the President of the United States because he threatened their power over the people, it then boils down to a power struggle.

 

 

“Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.” – Proverbs 17:28

 

 

As the saying goes, “Even a broken clock is right twice a day.” Quotation Celebration

 

“The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.” – Sir Winston Churchill Quotation Celebration

 

As Forrest Gump would say, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Quotation Celebration

 

I like this one “A fool is totally unaware that they’re a fool. To thee fool, EVERYONE ELSE is the fool.” Quotation Celebration

 

Our nation is one diverse peoples and of blending cultures. We have more in common than we have apart. It’s like someone telling someone else to go back where you came from, an expression of outright racism. However if you carried that thought out to a logical conclusion you would see the fallacy in that, first we are all descendants of Adam and Eve who were in the Garden of Eden. God moved them out of the Garden of Eden and placed an angel in front of the entrance so that they could never return. But if returning was a possibility, I don’t see the Garden of Eden capable of holding the population of the world. So another quote comes to mind, “Can’t we all just get along?” – Rodney King

 

Coming to America is such a misnomer because America spans South, Central and North America. Most of the immigrants who came as a result of the “caravans” are Americans and were already in America. What they all wanted, for various reasons, was an opportunity to live and/or work in the United States of America. The vehicle they used was not the right one, nor was the path they chose the right one.

 

Before we can help anyone we must first learn to help ourselves. We have our own homeless and down trodden living and dying on the streets of America. We have entire communities living in despair.

 

“And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?” – Matthew 7:3

 

“Do not look down or judge anyone else, only God sits that high!” – Unknown

 

We are all drifting in the same body of water – Jesus is the life line! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Proud to be a Democrat?

 

To truly understand what it means to be a Democrat one must look at the definition according to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary.

 

Democrat

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/democrat

noun

dem·​o·​crat | \ˈde-mə-ˌkrat

 

1. Definition of democrat 

1a: an adherent of democracy

b: one who practices social equality

2: capitalized: a member of the Democratic party of the U.S.

 

1. Definition of Democrat

1: a person who believes in or supports democracy

2: a lifelong Democrat

 

By this definition a democrat adheres to democracy, practices social equality and is a member of the Democratic Party. Really not much to go on is there?

 

So let’s compare the definition against what we see in today’s main stream media, online and on social media.

 

Do we see Democrats adhering to or subverting democracy?

The answer is obvious Democrats go out of their way to subvert democracy.

 

Do we see Democrats practicing social equality or social inequality?

The answer again is obvious Democrats go out of their way practicing social inequality.

 

Do we see Democrats as members of the Democratic party of the U.S.?

The answer is a resounding NO they are not all members of the Democratic party but conduct themselves with liberal social tendencies and are beholding to no political party.

 

Did you know there is such a thing as a Liberal Democrat?

 

Liberal Democrat

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Liberal%20Democrat

noun

 

Definition of Liberal Democrat 

:a member or supporter of a British political party that is known as the Liberal Democrats

 

So by this definition all of you liberal democrats must be BRITISH, right?

I thought we fought the British during the Revolutionary War already?

 

The last definition is that of Democratic Socialism where we get Social Democracy.

 

Social Democracy

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/social%20democracy

noun

 

Definition of social democracy 

1: a political movement advocating a gradual and peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism by democratic means

2: a democratic welfare state that incorporates both capitalist and socialist practices

 

That is where we are today in 2018, we have those who call themselves Democrats but have no idea what it actually means to be one. Then we have those who take being a Democrat even further left to think like a British Liberal Democrat while pushing off Social Democracy as their overall goal to move capitalism over to socialism by democratic means, thus the welfare state with capitalism and socialism co-existing.

 

This leads to anarchy and chaos in nations around the world who have taken that step left. In a period of 10 years the nation of Venezuela went from being one of the richest nations in South America to the failed socialist state that it is today.

 

So I ask you are you proud to be a Democrat? Do you aspire to the notion that the purpose of government is to give you free stuff and take care of your personal needs?

 

Do you call that patriotism? I do not!

 

I find it difficult to believe that men, women, boys and girls fall for the trap of socialism, thinking that it’s a grander state of social media. It’s especially hard for military veterans and retirees to follow that same path, where many have seen firsthand the pitfalls of socialism.

 

This nation was founded on the principle that ALL men are created equal by their creator. Not by any political party or by getting loads of free stuff. This nation was founded on freedom and freedom isn’t free.

 

When you line up behind the talking heads in Washington who trash our country and our president, his family and all that he stands for, you are trashing YOU! The statement you give to the world is “LOOK AT ME I’M TOTALLY CLUELESS!” The Democrat Party has systematically manipulated class and racial separation in the United States. They have enticed by bribery the very folks who suffer the greatest under their control.

 

It is time to walk away from the Democrat Party and get behind someone who is working hard to make your life better by raising your standard of living and making the United States a more secure and safer place to live and raise your family.

 

If you are an immigrant who has come here to work and live you must abide by the laws of this country and become part of the American Dream (not just a dreamer).

 

And if you are a political leader in your community or state or a member of Congress you must stop the political bickering and begin to think like a patriot who will not stand idly by while the fabric of this nation is torn asunder.

 

It is your duty and mine to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies both foreign and domestic and obey the orders of the President of the United States and those appointed over us. Stand for what is right. Defend the defenseless. Care for the poor. Honor each other and to trust in Almighty God. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The “Glass Ceiling” in the White House

 

Earlier this year there was a story of CEO Stacey Cunningham of the New York Stock Exchange where the reporter talked about breaking the glass ceiling for women. According to this NPR article this is the first time in 226 years in NYSE history where a woman has been named CEO. I think the article is pretty well written and Stacey Cunningham has a lot to be grateful for.

 

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/22/613353836/a-woman-has-been-named-as-nyse-ceo-it-only-took-226-years

 

Why has the press overlooked the Trump Administration pushing against the “Glass Ceiling” for women in government? It’s not about simply putting women in government to fill a position or “slot”. It’s more than that, it’s about bringing onboard women who are smart, knowledgeable and experienced in the area where they are needed.

 

I’m sure some sort of similar “Glass Ceiling” has been reached a number of times as seen in this article which acknowledges President Trump receives little credit for some very big deals in his administration.

 

http://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/369112-trumps-first-year-in-office-was-the-year-of-the-woman

 

I’ve listed women who are currently in these critical positions, and who have done well in presenting and moving forward President Trumps agenda.

 

• Nikki R. Haley – Ambassador to the United Nations. Ambassador Haley has stood toe to toe with the United Nations while representing the United States standing side by side with Israel. She has announced her departure as ambassador where she was an example for all.
• Elaine L. Chao – Secretary of Transportation
• Kirstjen Nielsen – Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security
• Heather Wilson – Secretary of the Air Force
• Sarah Huckabee Sanders – White House Press Secretary
• Kellyanne Conway – Counselor to the President
• Linda E. McMahon – Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration
• Elizabeth “Betsy” Prince DeVos – Secretary of Education
• Jovita Carranza – U.S. Treasurer
• Neomi Rao – Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
• Zina Bash – White House Domestic Policy Councilmember
• Katy Talento – White House Health Care Policy Advisor
• Melania Trump – First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS) – is an example of an accomplished and knowledgeable lady in her own right, who rose from immigrant to U.S. citizen and FLOTUS.
• Karen Pence – Second Lady of the United States (SLOTUS) – is a role model as she furthers her own agenda while reaching out to the spouses and families of America’s military.
• Lindsay Reynolds – FLOTUS’s Chief of Staff
• Stephanie Winston Wolkoff – Senior Advisor to FLOTUS
• Stephanie Grisham – Director of Communications for FLOTUS
• Abigail Slater – National Economic Council
• Madeleine Westerhout – Executive Assistant to the President
• Julia Hahn – Special Assistant to the President
• Seema Verma – Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
• Kelly Sadler – Director of Surrogate & Coalitions Outreach
• Mercedes Schlapp – Senior Communications Strategist
• Ivanka Trump – White House Advisor
• Jessica Ditto – Deputy Director of Communications
• Lindsay Walters – Deputy White House Press Secretary
• Helen Aguirre Ferre – White House Media Affairs Director
• Gina Haspel – Director Central Intelligence Agency

 

It would seem that the Trump Administration has truly broken the “Glass Ceiling” in filling these very important positions within the White House Staff and in the Administration.

 

What amazes me is the amount of talented women in government who are virtually ignored by publications worldwide who would do well to do extensive articles (stories and pictures) highlighting the accomplishments which these women exemplify as working wives, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, aunts and sisters, they are among America’s greatest treasures. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

My thoughts on Storming the Border

 

Here we go again, another hot button issue, right? We should all thank Congress, the international agencies and the illegal immigrants themselves for this wild display of theatrics. It was a better watch than “The View” or just about any program on CNN over the weekend.

 

Seriously, it is insane to travel from your homeland, breaching several international borders, bypassing armies and police because you want to come to the United States. It is greatly compounded when you have no money, no papers, families or children (minor children) setting out on what seems to be a great adventure. It is pure nonsense for everyone who orchestrates or enables this hair-brained idea in the first place. It is also illegal and a really bad idea.

 

So we see pictures of women and small children running wildly away as US officials launch tear gas grenades at them. Other pictures are of women holding one hand over their mouth and the other over a child’s mouth. It is repeated over social media, the news and on radio that the US has attacked poor people with children travelled over 2,000 miles to seek asylum in the US. If that’s not bad enough prominent members of Congress lead the charge insisting these illegal immigrants be let into the country.

 

Does that about sum it up, or did I miss something?

 

A normal rational and logical person would begin asking questions. They would want to know why someone seeking asylum would not first seek it in a nearby country. Or why not go to the closest US Embassy or Consulate and apply for asylum?

 

And to “walk” 2,000 miles in a month, did that include hopping the train, riding a bus or on a semitrailer or truck? What did they do for food or sanitation (toilet breaks)? How about shelter enroute? More importantly what about personal safety, or the safety of their women and children? How did they know they were going in the right direction? When coming to an international border, who took the lead to rush the border? What were the hazards they faced?

 

So far none of this makes any sense. Unless you factor in the organizations who are anti-border that provided “volunteers” to gather the masses and herd them northward along an organized route. Plus you have representatives from the United Nations who are to insure they are treated fairly and humanely. And one must not forget those who provided the finances for procuring food, water and shelter (as it was) to accommodate more than 7,000 people in each caravan, then times it by the caravans who follow.

 

Mexican authorities did not deter these travelers, but ESCORTED them northward to the US border crossing at Tijuana. In fact the conditions they brought with them have been deplorable at best. Local residents live in fear as these “invaders” have disrupted the very existence of locals. They behave unlawfully, unruly and DEMAND better conditions, instead of working together to make their conditions better.

 

President Trump’s response has been firm. No unlawful crossings. No asylum processing for anyone who crosses illegally.  Trump has urged Mexico to hold in immigrants or deport them back to their home countries by any means necessary. US forces have been given authority to use deadly force if necessary to protect themselves and/or Customs and Border Patrol personnel. Congress has been challenged to fully fund the border wall.

 

So yesterday (Sunday 11-25-2018) migrants concentrated their efforts to rush the border and were met with tear gas and when it was over around 50 migrants were apprehended and will be prosecuted for unlawful entry into the United States. All foot and vehicle traffic was halted for a period of time as the border crossing was closed. President Trump has threatened to permanently close this crossing point until this crisis has been resolved.

 

It is important for the American public to understand that it is a criminal offense to aid and abet immigrants attempting to circumvent ignore immigration laws. Immigrants who do can be permanently banned from any future attempt at immigrating and US citizens can face prison or fines.

 

Instead of bantering back and forth about the inhumane treatment of immigrants, Americans should rally behind the President in securing the US Southern border against unlawful immigration. Failing to support President Trump doesn’t make you a racist. It just makes you ignorant and totally stupid!

 

If you want to bring immigrants into the United States, try sponsoring an immigrant family (at your own expense) until they have established themselves and are able to support themselves. You might help them to prepare for citizenship and insure they fully understand what assimilation is all about.

 

Immigration is not a “right” it is a privilege extended to some who apply. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

On Trump and Constitutional Rights

 

I know there are many scholars, journalists and accomplished authors who may disagree with my take on this article, but then I guess it’s you right to disagree.

 

There has been a lot of political posturing from Congress, The White House, POTUS, and the SCOTUS as well as from each political party here in the United States. Those on the left think they’re right, those on the right think they’re justified and those in the middle don’t realize that they are all from the same political bird.

 

Donald J. Trump was the political darling of the Democrat Party. He was everyone’s “sugar daddy”. He had the money and didn’t mind flaunting it so that everyone knew it. Politicians had no problem with that because he filled their coffers and money is what makes the world go around. Those who worked for Mr. Trump knew he had a nasty temper and they dared not cross him. Anyone who did ultimately ended up hearing “You’re Fired” or worse. Those who went head to head with him knew he was a tough nut to crack. Generally you either loved him or hated him, there was no in between.

 

So in 2015 when Trump announced he was running for President everyone thought it was a stunt to ramp up the ratings of “The Apprentice”?  During the political debates he was seen as the least like to be nominated. Everyone underestimated him and even Hillary Clinton seriously misjudged him.

 

During the transition period then President Obama appeared to support his winning the election and said it was in America’s interests for Trump’s administration to be successful.

 

After the inauguration of Donald Trump as POTUS #45 all the niceties ended. If this was a honeymoon, it ended before the ship of state had even set sail. In fact encouraged by Democrats in Congress, the media became hostile toward the administration. Various groups immerged who were openly hostile toward President Trump, more so than any other president in US history.

 

So when Trump comments as is his custom, every sentence he speaks is dissected and taken apart, reassembled and broadcast as unadulterated fact. Early on Trump had taken to Twitter as a means to get his message out to America and to the world. Rather than simply getting on Twitter to get the exact message, journalists, reporters and the media were offended that Trump wasn’t giving them a fair shake.

 

Trump responded by saying that much of what was being written was “Fake News” and those who peddled it were “the enemies of America”. These fake reporters should have taken it as a wakeup call and decided to get back to reporting the news but they didn’t.

 

Now take the CNN Jim Acosta incident. During a presidential press briefing Acosta asked his question, but did not sit down nor release the microphone when the WH intern needed to move it to another reporter. Acosta had his credentials taken and he was removed from the WH press room. Case closed? No, Acosta acted like a spoiled kid who had his candy taken away. It wasn’t until after CNN sued to get the credentials returned that Acosta was allowed back into the WH press room. He didn’t however come in as a meek and mild mannered reporter, nor was he grateful to be let back in because he felt he was entitled to be there.

 

Then the “outraged” press began accusing President Trump of violating Acosta’s first amendment rights of freedom of the press. Not even close.

 

The First Amendment:

 

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

 

How anyone can accuse the President of violating the first amendment is pure fabrication and kicking a correspondent out of a press briefing is indicative of bad conduct by the journalist.

 

What I have seen by President Trump is time and again he prods people to change their behavior. Maybe his methods are unorthodox by many standards, but his goal is accountability. It goes back to the old Trump adage of doing a job right the first time and putting your name on it (to own up to the finished product).

 

President Trump has openly said what he means and means what he says. He is not one to accept a good try and failure is not an option. At home and on the international scale President Trump has placed America First and is doing what he said he would do during the campaign.

 

Trump’s rhetoric is not that of the average politician. He’s interest is not to hurt feelings but to change thinking. For quite a number of years Americans have been like a frog in a pot of lukewarm water on a stove. We have been led to believe that the way things are is the way it has always been and that it’s good enough.

 

Our schools have dumbed down educational standards until the only requirement is showing up. Basic reading, writing and arithmetic have been replaced by common core. The very thought of “It takes a village to raise a child” is misplaced thinking in that it takes away from parental responsibility.

 

Common core leads away from common sense. Instead of male and female there are an infinite number of gender combinations to choose from and one must only need to “feel like” any one of them to be one. Lowering the bar does not insure a learned education, but insures more students are simply pushed through the system.

 

One of the latest “fades” is the false representation of immigration. Being a citizen of the world does not entitle anyone to be accepted for immigration into the United States. It is not a human right to come here. In fact it is a privilege for anyone who has been approved for any type of immigration into the United States. When mass immigrants come to our borders demanding and threatening to cross over with or without documentation it is called an “invasion”. There are no amendment rights to insure someone has the right to enter the United States.

 

Border security has to be taken seriously by the legislators who write the laws and the president who enforces the laws and by law enforcement who secure the border. It must be taken seriously by US citizens who are affected when unlawful entry is made by anyone.

 

The Second Amendment:

 

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

 

This insures that Americans are able to defend themselves, their families and in case of national emergency the very nation.

 

If more American citizens would read and understand the rule of law as defined in the Constitution of the United States, then spend more time working to make America a better place to work and live, and get away from the “entitlement” mentality and of “being offended”, these petty differences would become a force for uniting the country.

 

I may not talk the way President Trump talks, nor think the way he thinks, but I will support him as he works to make this nation safe again. So don’t kick up a fuss, just get on the bus! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

If Mass Immigration is not a Problem

 

Former President Barack Obama was in the media criticizing President Trump saying that the “caravans” were a fabrication by the GOP and were nothing new as they have been happening for a long time. So immediately questions came to mind. If you knew it was happening when you were Senator Obama why did you not attempt to write legislation to change the immigration laws? Or during your 8 years as President why did you not push the Congress you had been part of to conduct immigration reform? Lastly show me since 1990 when we had internationally organized mass immigration marchers trekking through Central America and Mexico intentionally crossing the US border? Or why did you as President allow unvetted immigrants from Middle Eastern nations into the US without so much as a blink?

 

What we are seeing today is a U.N. sponsored and sanctioned attempt to override the sovereignty of the US as well as other countries by providing “escorts” for the massive migration “caravans” which are not caravans at all, but organized waves of invaders.

 

What is disheartening is the fact that former President Obama and the members of Congress who should be supporting President Trump’s efforts to strengthen our Southern border had in fact become a “legislative wall” preventing national security.

 

Earlier (January 25^th of this year), President Trump met with Congressional leaders of both major political parties to talk about Comprehensive Immigration Reform. During the meeting each member received President Trump’s proposed plan to reform immigration laws. As cameras rolled all the Congressional power players smiled and conducted themselves cordially to let the public know how they were open to working with the President on this matter. After the cameras were removed from the meeting room it was a different story and what was leaked to America by Democrats was a misquotation and out of context statement that President Trump called immigrants thieves and criminals and that he hated immigrant. Do you remember?

 

What has Congress done since that time on immigration reform? What changes have been made to the Southern border or to immigration across the board for that matter?

 

More importantly why are we seeing these massive organized hordes of people from so many nations being rammed like a ramrod through Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico while being aimed directly at US border crossings?

 

It is way past time for Congress to act. In my opinion it is time for President Trump to get Congress back in session, where they should remain until they fix immigration, confirm presidential nominees and begin earning the trust of the people who elected them.

 

Here is the White House Framework on Immigration Reform and Border Security that President Trump issued on January 25, 2018. It can be found online it its original format.

White House Framework on Immigration Reform & Border Security

Issued on: January 25, 2018

ALL NEWS

BORDER SECURITY: Securing the Southern and Northern border of the United States takes a combination of physical infrastructure, technology, personnel, resources, authorities, and the ability to close legal loopholes that are exploited by smugglers, traffickers, cartels, criminals and terrorists.

 

The Department of Homeland Security must have the tools to deter illegal immigration; the ability to remove individuals who illegally enter the United States; and the vital authorities necessary to protect national security.

 

These measures below are the minimum tools necessary to mitigate the rapidly growing surge of illegal immigration.

 

$25 billion trust fund for the border wall system, ports of entry/exit, and northern border improvements and enhancements.

 

Close crippling personnel deficiencies by appropriating additional funds to hire new DHS personnel, ICE attorneys, immigration judges, prosecutors and other law enforcement professionals.

 

Hiring and pay reforms to ensure the recruitment and retention of critically-needed personnel.

 

Deter illegal entry by ending dangerous statutorily-imposed catch-and-release and by closing legal loopholes that have eroded our ability to secure the immigration system and protect public safety.

 

Ensure the detention and removal of criminal aliens, gang members, violent offenders, and aggravated felons.

 

Ensure the prompt removal of illegal border-crossers regardless of country of origin.

 

Deter visa overstays with efficient removal.

 

Ensure synthetic drugs (fentanyl) are prevented from entering the country.

 

Institute immigration court reforms to improve efficiency and prevent fraud and abuse.

 

DACA LEGALIZATION: Provide legal status for DACA recipients and other DACA-eligible illegal immigrants, adjusting the time-frame to encompass a total population of approximately 1.8 million individuals.

 

10-12 year path to citizenship, with requirements for work, education and good moral character.

 

Clear eligibility requirements to mitigate fraud.

 

Status is subject to revocation for criminal conduct or public safety and national security concerns, public charge, fraud, etc.

 

PROTECT THE NUCLEAR FAMILY: Protect the nuclear family by emphasizing close familial relationships.

Promote nuclear family migration by limiting family sponsorships to spouses and minor children only (for both Citizens and LPRs), ending extended-family chain migration.

 

Apply these changes prospectively, not retroactively, by processing the “backlog.”

 

ELIMINATE LOTTERY AND REPURPOSE VISAS: The Visa Lottery selects individuals at random to come to the United States without consideration of skills, merit or public safety.

 

This program is riddled with fraud and abuse and does not serve the national interest.

 

Eliminate lottery and reallocate the visas to reduce the family-based “backlog” and high-skilled employment “backlog.”

 

 

These are not only reasonable, but a common sense approach to controlling migration into the US by allowing individuals and families who are intent on becoming constructive members of our society and grabbing hold of the American Dream.

 

Should Congress continually fail to do their constitutional legislative duty President Trump could use his constitutional authority to close the entire US Southern border from Texas to California until immigration reform is accomplished, at which time orderly and lawful immigration could continue. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Ramp it Up President Trump

 

America has been on a roller coaster ride for almost 2 years. The offended have become the offenders in an “anything goes” political environment. It has come down to the “Never Trumpers” against the “Forever Trumpers” in a literal battle of the Swamp War.

 

President Trump tweets or says something and after various media slanted “Breaking News” announces and the entire world seems to erupt into chaos as everything is “Trumps fault”. Sound about right?

 

What I keep hearing from both the right and the left is Trump’s not qualified and he should “tone it down”. You know don’t get in their faces. Don’t stir up the pot. Don’t stoke the flames of hate. Stop being the racist who hates immigrants so much. These naysayers are coming out from all sides and literally searching for something to stop Trump in his tracks and saying he’s bad for America. Yeah right.

 

Do you know what polar opposites are? It’s the old North Pole versus South Pole thing where they are so far left that they think they’re right.

 

During the campaign prior to the 2016 presidential election Donald J. Trump made several promises to American voters.

Four things really stick out.

First he promised to build that wall.

Second he promised to drain the swamp.

Third he said we’re going to win, win, win until we asked him to stop winning, we can’t handle it.

Fourth he said we’re going to Make America Great Again.

 

Instead of embracing these as four positives, people get offended and act like he is promising to poke them in the eye with a big stick four times.

 

They say hindsight is 20/20 and what I see happening is politicians who previously championed border security and were for building a wall, now are adamantly against it simply because Trump is not a politician and he’s pushing it. Isn’t it like someone with a big shiny new car, running out of gas and complaining that the tow truck driver is racist because he wants to tow the car to a gas station?

 

Trump promised to drain the swamp in Washington and many Americans didn’t even know Washington had a swamp. Looking back we see that there are many layers to this political swamp. Politicians, lobbyists and even bystanders all trying to keep things the way they were and at all costs. If the swamp was a huge dam with a small crack with water beginning to leak, they would all be fighting each other to insure that nobody was the first one to plug the hole, and then complaining that the hole is getting bigger.

 

Trump said we would tire of winning and he was right. They are all fighting to see who can become the biggest loser. That might be great for a television show, but after all winning is a good thing. When American’s work, they are contributing to society, they feel good about themselves and we all become stronger together.

 

Trump also said we are going to Make America Great Again. The naysayers are quick to say America was never great and to that I say “poppycock”; “hogwash”; and “horsepucky”. If America was never great we would all be speaking German after World War I and there would have been no industrial revolution in America. Instead of being called the new world, it might have been called the New Germany. Instead of calling for American dollars to bail out many third world nations, we would have been a third world nation ourselves, possibly 50 insignificant third world nations. The United Nations would have never been conceived in New York and funded by American tax dollars. And Barack Obama would never have been the first African-American to become President because after World War I there would no longer have been a United States of America.

 

So instead of caving in to the voices of many who have no vision, no future for America, or no idea of how to push ahead successfully, instead of toning it down I say Ramp It Up President Trump! – I am the Real Truckmaster!
