Veterans Day 2018 Thailand Veterans Vietnam War

 

If you know me, you know my heart is with our Thailand Veterans of the Vietnam War. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t eat, sleep and breathe a deep sense of gratitude for the service and sacrifices made in Southeast Asia at a time when it really counted.

 

For many of us the war over, oh the American War has ended alright, but for those of us who were exposed by herbicides, pesticides and petroleum products the suffering and the dying continue. We suffer heart disease, diabetes, neuropathy and too many illnesses for even the VA to recognize.

 

We’ve been shunned by many of our countrymen, fellow veterans and our government because our tour was seen as one huge Rest & Relaxation Tour (R & R). Our service has been hidden, marginalized and ignored by so many for so long that it has taken 40 years for us to hold our heads up high.

 

Not part of the war; not really there; stolen valor and much worse they said and still do today. We missed our family birthdays and anniversaries, Thanksgiving Dinners, Christmases and for many of us we missed the protests, the marches, the hippy movement and the veterans against the war.

 

Where were you when man walked on the moon (one small step for mankind) or during Kent State and the LA riots? We were still there. Our mission, our lives and the lives of so many others depended on it.

 

Fighters, B-52s and many other aircraft need fuel, bullets and bombs. Crews need the “beans”. Our jobs were not 9 to 5 banker’s hour jobs. We worked long, hard and often in adverse weather in a land so far away that even our families did not know where we were. We worked 24/7/365 rain or shine, day or night – because we were sent and given a mission. Failure was not an option.

 

So for the many “unknown” warriors who made it happen in the land of smiles and endured 12 months and often more so that others may live – I salute you!

 

Tomorrow is officially Veterans Day 11/11/18, and our nation observes it on Monday 11/12/18.

 

Thank you for your service and more importantly “Welcome Home Brothers and Sisters”!

Chain of Custody

11-9-2018

 

Chain of Custody

 

This will be a short article and straight to the point. In both the military and in legaleze (I just made it up) there is such a thing as “Chain of Custody” when handling evidence, transporting prisoners and in the civilian world when dealing with such things as handling ballots.

 

If you vote absentee you generally get an envelope in the mail with instructions on how to fill it out correctly, where to place and verify your signature on the envelope. You are instructed to add additional postage if mailing it in, and insure you have enough time for it to go through the USPS system and make it to the county voting body in time to be counted.

 

If you vote in person you are notified as to the location of your polling place and what you are allowed to bring into the polling station to verify your identity. You are then handed a paper ballot or a form to insert into the electronic polling machine and instructions on how to cast your ballot and are given an “I voted” sticker showing that you did your civic duty.

 

So what happens next?

 

All ballots received in the mail are handled by qualified personnel who validate that the ballot has been properly submitted and that the voter is on the rolls for absentee voting.

 

All ballots collected at the polling stations are then transported in a secure mode and taken to the county voting center where they are sorted and counted and then secured, in case of a recount. I’m sure that state to state guidance insures they are secured and stored properly so that if needed for a statewide audit everything is shown to be above board.

 

So what is happening with Florida, Georgia and Arizona? Are the state election officials incompetent or just shady in their dealings with their ballots? Are they separated and marked “Democrats” (save for future count) or marked “Republicans” (hide and ignore)?

 

What has been revealed about Georgia is that wiping the election server has occurred after being notified of a civil suit? Do they not know that someone (an internet technician or software program), somewhere and at frequent and scheduled intervals does something called a BACKUP!

 

The same thing happened in the lost Hillary Clinton email scandal, yet Russia, Wikileaks and those two IT brothers from Pakistan were able to obtain over 34,000 documents with relative ease. Isn’t it sad that the only ones who couldn’t find those lost documents were the FBI?

 

The same thing is happening in Florida and in Arizona where although the entire nation has completed their vote counting in a reasonable manner, in Democrat controlled corners of these two states they are still finding buckets, bins and storage containers of ballots in trunks of cars and have collected possibly close to 100,000 missing ballots (probably more than the population of the counties involved many times over).

 

It’s time for a DOJ joint taskforce with state and local law enforcement to raid and seize ALL documents, electronics and computer equipment, cell phones and detain everyone in separate federal facilities where they cannot influence each other or coordinate their “stories”.

 

I have one reasonable request for the DOJ, please don’t assign this task to Special Counsel Robert Mueller as he apparently couldn’t find evidence of wrong doing until well after 2020. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Distractions to Take Your Eye Off the Ball

11-8-2018

 

Distractions to Take Your Eye Off the Ball

 

The calm after the storm seems to be what we’re seeing today as the midterm elections are over (less the potentially and massive voter fraud we’re seeing in Florida, Georgia and Arizona and maybe California to name a few.

 

The Democrats have gained control of the House, while the Republicans have increased their numbers in the Senate.

 

President Trump has replaced Jeff Sessions as Attorney General with the AG Chief of Staff Matt Whitaker stepping in as the Acting AG until a nominee is submitted by the president and confirmed by the senate.

 

CNNs James Acosta is out after his stunt during a presidential press briefing. The Secret Service removed him from the White House and took away his WH Press Credentials. I’m sure that many in the press corps are overjoyed and relieved that it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy (sarcasm).

 

So now we have the House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer both calling for Matt Whitaker to recuse himself from the Mueller investigation, and they are denouncing the president for appointing a loyalist as acting AG. The poor masses on the street are crying and begging congress to investigate the president for obstruction in appointing Whitaker and it’s quite obvious that they should have begun their day actually reading the Constitution, particularly the part about presidential powers of appointment.

 

This is shaping up to be a Thanksgiving to be remembered. Long and forgotten are the hot button issues of the 12+ suspicious packages sent to Democrats and liberal entertainers a couple of weeks before the elections.

 

Also forgotten are the sexual assault victim’s accusations against SCOTUS Brett Kavanaugh, although the pendulum has swung the other way on at least one accuser and her lawyer. Somebody might even get some prison time over it.

 

What is not forgotten are the hordes of immigrants who are drinking those tasty little sissy umbrella drinks in Mexico City before continuing their trek towards the US border station in San Diego where they will be met with the presidential executive order against unlawful crossers being able to file for asylum and I seem to remember the president telling them to turn around and apply at a local US embassy or consulate instead of at the border, where they would be denied. Some of these ungrateful immigrants have sought the US judicial system over the abuse of their “rights” as illegal immigrants to cross into the US. (Doesn’t that take the cake?)

 

I suspect things are going to get even more interesting as old legislators prepare to pack up and go home as the newly elected legislators are anxious to get on the job in Washington. (I sure hope they show up in D.C., and not Seattle).

 

One more surprise came as SCOTUS Justice Ginsburg is lying in the hospital with broken ribs after a fall in her office. We wish her a speedy recovery and healing and hopefully she will choose to retire or resign from the SCOTUS and take up waffle boarding or bungie jumping or maybe watching Wheel of Fortune on television.

 

It appears that #POTUS45 will have a busy schedule as his appointments and nominations are processed through the Senate, the US military assists US Border Patrol in beefing up the border fence, while contractors are continuing to build the wall one stretch at a time.

 

We must not forget that there still is a swamp to drain and those pesky Democrats, liberals and racial hate groups like Antifa and BLM are brought to justice and out of circulation whereby making America safer again.

 

Yes we are already into the 2020 campaign mode where President Trump has energized Conservatives and Republicans across the nation and apparently has no plans to let up now. I’m reminded of a saying by Mr. T who once said (many times), “I pity the fool’ and I’ll add to it, “who misjudges President Donald J. Trump”.

 

I realize that previous presidents failed miserably in performing their duties as president because they had no vision. No plan for the future. No advisors who could impart that critical knowledge of what could be, but instead focused on what could never happen.

 

President Trump came on the scene with a plan to right the wrongs of a government so intent on holding down the people it should be representing. Trump had not only a plan, but a path to accomplishing that plan and returning the government to the people, one de-regulation at a time.

 

Politicians do not understand how it is possible to do the things President Trump has done. They do not have the vision. They have not received their mandate (marching orders) or they do not know how to make it happen. I look forward to the next 6 years of the Trump Presidency and I especially love watching the “Make over” of America by a true American patriot – The Real Donald Trump.

 

It is not dishonorable to serve honorably in the Trump administration or the White House staff where you can really make a difference, because everyone knows that they serve at the pleasure of the president. They can choose to leave or do so at the request of the president.

 

I am not ashamed of my allegiance to my God, my family and my country and ‘I would willingly serve at the pleasure of the president” because I have been and always will be an American Soldier who loves the United States of America and chose to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. So help me God! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Serve at the Pleasure of the President

Serve at the Pleasure of the President

 

On the day after the mid-term elections President Trump did the “unthinkable” he fired his Attorney General Jeff Sessions and he took away CNN Jim Acosta’s White House press credentials. The grumblings seem to be louder over Acosta than over Sessions.

 

AG Chief of Staff Matthew Whitaker became Acting-Attorney General by the president and by all accounts this gives the president a “new sheriff in town”. Whitaker is a pro-Trump powerhouse who is a no nonsense and highly intelligent member of the AG’s office.

 

Just think this was on day one after the mid-terms. I wonder what’s in store for day two. Anyone who has followed President Trump should not be surprised because of what the president did to begin dismantling Obama’s legacy on day one after the inauguration.

 

I used to watch the television series “The West Wing” (1999 – 2006), what always irritated me was a Democrat president Jed Bartlett (Martin Sheen) making “Republican” decisions daily. I didn’t personally care for Martin Sheen as an actor and I don’t particularly care for Democrat presidents, but I loved to watch the show.

 

The one take away I can still remember was the West Wing Chief of Staff Leo McGarry (John Spencer) asking their token Republican White House staff member Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe) about his loyalty toward the president. His response was priceless, “I serve at the pleasure of the president”!

 

White House Press Secretary C.J. Cregg (Allison Janney) ran the press briefings like a military unit, taking no guff from anyone. But that was television and the shows advisor was a former White House staff member.

 

So it makes no sense to me for anyone to be upset over President Trump hiring or firing anyone if he so desires. The constitution gives the president the authority to do so, and congress must only confirm presidential appointments, not try to make grilled cheese out of them. The president has the authority to fire, release or remove his cabinet members without reason or cause and he doesn’t need permission from the congress or the American public and not even from international world leaders.

 

I’ve wondered why or how does President Trump succeed where other presidents before him have failed. He is criticized for his appointments, for his firings and for his replacements. Some presidents have come into office and appointed cabinet members and expected them to learn their roles and make decisions on their own. Others have expected them all to learn their jobs together.

 

President Trump selects his cabinet members carefully and surrounds himself with individuals who are successful in their chosen fields, whether it’s business, legal or public affairs. He expects and encourages them to continue being successful as members of his cabinet or of his staff, yet is not afraid to call them out. Often I see the public calling out is a sort of motivator, like when you challenge someone by saying they can’t do this or that. What you expect is for them to prove you wrong or to see the error of their ways.

 

When President Trump does it using Twitter the media irrupts and it makes the headlines then everyone is an expert and becomes an “armchair quarterback” giving unneeded or unwanted advice to the president.

 

It is not my place to do that with President Trump either. I would like to see the president turn loose a “pit bull” in the office of the Attorney General and his selection of Matthew Whitaker may turn out to be that “pit bull” who gains the appointment. Or the president may surprise us?

 

As for CNNs Jim Acosta it may be time for him to take an assignment for CNN in a remote location, say Mexico or Honduras where he may feel right at home.

 

As for former AG Jeff Sessions he is a good man, who has faithfully served Alabama, the nation and the president with honor. It may be time for him to sit back and enjoy his retirement years and write a book or two.

 

I am hopeful of the changes in congress and maybe some degree of common sense will return with the election of these new members. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Gods Will Be Done

11-7-2018

 

Gods Will Be Done

 

The election craziness is over, except for the fallout. I heard many Christians calling for God to act. He did some 2,000 years ago when he gave his only begotten son Jesus to die on the cross at Calvary for the sins of the world and rose again to be seated on the right hand of the Father.

 

John 3:

13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.

14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

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.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

 

The elections are over and as former President Barack Obama once said, “Elections have consequences”, we are now going to see how those consequences are going to affect every part of our daily lives in America and I haven’t even begun to see how the final results turn out. Only God knows.

 

As I said earlier Christians were asking God to bring Christian candidates into the political arena and that was not the right way to pray. We should have prayed for God to take all political candidates and bring them to a salvation knowledge of HIM so that it God would affect the outcome to his glory. Isn’t that what God does ultimately? He is to be glorified by all creation!

 

It matters not whether the Democrats won or the Republicans won, but that we as Christians keep our eyes fixed upon the one who matters – Jesus and realize that God is in control.

 

So many Christians were upset and surprised at the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency, but did not see God’s hand in it. Even today Christians try to marginalize the God factor in American politics. It may be hard to see a positive outcome as the political scene changes, but remember that God is still in control.

 

As in the days that Jesus walked on the earth and ministering with his disciples Satan thought the cross was his victory over God and he was wrong. Satan is hooting and howling over his seeming victory in these elections, but again he is wrong.

 

It is God’s mandate for the spirit of political correctness to be broken, crushed and destroyed over its grasp on America. We know it as “the swamp” and it must be drained as the political correctness loses its power so it is only natural for this huge election “victory” to give a false sense of security to the forces of evil, to which God has already numbered their reign upon the earth.

 

We are going into Round Two of a prize fight in which God not only wins, but wants ALL the participants to submit to His will and purpose for their lives, for God ALL SOULS MATTER as they are HIS creation.

 

I don’t know what the future holds for America or for the world, but I do know that because God is in control it will turn out all right when we keep our eyes on Him, trust in his son Jesus and pray for God’s will over our lives and over America.

 

I pray that God will continue to bless the United States of America and President Donald J. Trump. I pray that God will continue His hedge of protection upon and around each of us as we place our trust in Him. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Voting is Your Right

11-5-2018

 

Voting is Your Right

 

Every election is important and winning at all costs is not winning at all. If everyone was a “cookie cutter” voter and had all the same values and there was only 1 name on the ballot, voting for that one name would be meaningless, unless it meant the difference between voting for that 1 “candidate” and taking a bullet in the back of the head.

 

That is how voting has been done for countless generations in many countries around the world. It happens in countries controlled by a dictator or lifetime president and the government “rubber stamps” the will of the leader. We see this being carried out today in communist, socialist and totalitarian governments.

 

US elections are fairly simple when the Constitutional rules are obeyed. US Citizens can join a political party of their choice, or choose no political affiliation, but are eligible to vote one time in each election when they reach the age of 21, but cease to be eligible when they die.

 

So why is it when people gather together as a political body and it takes on a life of its own? In many cases voters are influenced by classy or nasty political ads, peer pressure and threats of violence or feel shame for casting their vote, and in some cases do not vote at all.

 

Many states have early voting, voting by mail, as well as voting at specified polling places. It is unlawful for anyone to intimidate voters at the polling place, or to alter automated voting machines, or to prevent someone from entering a polling place to vote.

 

The Democrat Party has pretty well mastered the “get out and vote” process and sent teams to insure unregistered voters register Democrat. They even assist in transporting voters to the polling places so they can vote. What crosses the line is when they insist persons intimidate voters to vote Democrat or prevent them from casting their ballot.

 

The Republican Party has not mastered the “get out and vote” process so well. Republicans feel that everyone should register to vote. They feel that voters should inform themselves on the issues and candidates and cast their vote in their best interests. They feel voters can find their own way to the polls and need no “reminder” of how to cast their ballot.

 

Independent voters may want the freedom to vote across or outside party lines without outside pressure.

 

All US voters want their vote to count and nobody wants their vote ignored.

 

It is illegal and unethical for someone to vote who is not eligible, yet there are some who think it is a game to register and cast a ballot for dead voters or ineligible aliens.

 

Presidential elections are different in that the popular vote tells the state delegates in the Electoral College how voters have cast their ballots. EC delegates are normally bound to honor the popular vote and the candidate who achieves the magic number (270) out of (538) EC delegates is declared the President-elect. Primarily because voters do not understand the Electoral College they are often upset when they popular vote is different than the EC vote, but it’s been this way from the beginning of this country and has worked very well to insure all states have an equal number of votes.

 

Tomorrow is November 6th, 2018 and Election Day in the United States and it is your privilege and civic duty to cast your ballot for the candidate or issues that represent your best interests. Don’t make it a Democrat or Republican issue, make it personal. Vote for the one who in your opinion will make your life better. Do higher taxes, more regulations or tighter government control over your personal life and your rights guaranteed by the Constitution make your life better or worse? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Flash Mob Caravan Effect

11/4/2018

 

The Flash Mob Caravan Effect

 

So this is all some big joke? Sending our troops to the Southern border is a big waste of time and taxpayer dollars? A waste of training, yeah right! Unless you’ve worn the uniform, laced up your boots and headed out to perform the mission, stop talking trash. You have two choices stand behind our troops or get in front of them!

 

If you listen to the liberal left talking heads you will hear that these are desperate people, families heading north to the US for a better life. Their poor, have nothing, and want our pity and acceptance. That is precisely the thinking that Barack Obama used when he became impatient with Congress and decided to issue his unconstitutional DACA executive order. He in fact tried to legalize unlawful entry into the United States.  It has worked so well in circumventing legal immigration and the US Constitution that literally thousands of foreign immigrants have poured into our country creating a host of legal, moral and ethical problems, as well as bringing in crime.

 

For the past 2 years President Trump has asked Congress to fix our immigration laws. He has pleaded with congressional leaders of both parties to take the initiative and close immigration loopholes. He has even allowed DACA to die a natural death (expire normally) and has been met with total resistance and subsequent inaction by Congress.

 

Unlawful immigration continues to this day. In fact the last group of immigrants was met with some brilliant legal minds (the best California could offer) to coach them through the immigration process in order to apply for “asylum”. These legal scholars did in fact break federal immigration laws and have yet to be held accountable or brought to justice.

 

This action has led directly to “family separation” where children were placed in “protective custody” while their “parents” (natural, unnatural & human traffickers) went through the immigration courts and in many cases were deported or jailed. This action caused such a commotion that an executive order was issued by President Trump to insure that children were reunited with their parents, but not the human traffickers.

 

The next wave has been this organized mass migration, an invasion where these poor, innocent and hard working families have forcibly pushed through Honduras, Guatemala and into Mexico using rocks and other weapons at their disposal defying the sovereignty of every nation in their path.

 

This has led to other “caravans” being formed and moving north using the same tactics as the ones before them. Be sure that these are in fact organized invaders who are being orchestrated and used for political purposes and pose a real threat to the sovereignty of the United States.

 

Many have cited the Posse Comitias Act that prevents federal troops from acting in lieu or in an extension of law enforcement, but doesn’t prevent US troops from stopping an invasion of our homeland.

 

People are seeing are not military forces going to a training exercise, of limited duration where they are to hone their combat skills and prepare for overseas deployment. These are fully trained and armed military forces moving to the US Southern border with orders to stop the invaders, assist the US Border Patrol in reinforcing the border against unlawful entry. There are military police, engineer, transportation (air, land and sea) forces who are capable of sealing the Southern border until the threat is neutralized.

 

Have no illusions as to the seriousness of their mission. Each member has pledged an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies both foreign and domestic and to obey the orders of the President of the United States and the officers appointed over them. So help us God.

 

Again I say to the naysayers that you can support our troops or cross over the border to join the invaders and in doing so will be associated with them and treated thusly.

 

So don’t give me this crap about “open borders” if you lock your house and your car and your finances so that others do not have access to them. This is just another method of gaining identity theft of an entire nation on the eve of the mid-term elections of 2018.

 

Do not let political parties scare you into voting for their cause. Do your own research, weigh the evidence and make your informed decision and vote as if your life and the lives of your family depend on it, because they most certainly do.

 

Ignorance is no excuse! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

I Met A Homeless US Navy Veteran Today

I Met A Homeless US Navy Veteran Today

 

While downtown this morning watching as the Colorado Springs Veterans Day Parade was forming up I met a homeless Veteran I’ll call him Navy (US Navy, former aircraft maintenance tech on an aircraft carrier).

 

Navy asked a simple question, “Why is nobody helping Veterans in this town?”

 

Navy has been in town for a month, has money for rent but no agency has offered help. Even the VA clinic said they didn’t carry blankets, which is probably true as they are not a hospital. He said one homeless shelter has only 12 beds and there’s a waiting list. Other cities have organizations or programs that one can call and when you tell them you’re a veteran, they find you a bed where you can stay up to 6 months. I told him I don’t think we have that here.

 

I told Navy there are places that help veterans and gave him directions to a place I was sure could get him help or information of where to turn. I then continued walking and crossed to the other side of Tejon St. and it was barely 8:30 am, still an hour and a half before the parade would start.

 

I was approached by Navy again after he went to the place I sent him but they offered no help.

 

We parted and Navy faded back into the sea of homeless veterans and others living on the streets of Colorado Springs becoming invisible in plain sight. As I walked I saw many homeless persons on the streets, some with shopping carts full of their entire life possessions, others with nothing more than the clothes they were wearing. I continued walking a block or two down the street, crossed back over and ended up back at my vehicle.

 

It was cold 38 degrees and breezy and I just couldn’t take the cold and I returned home puzzled and depressed thinking about this homeless guy Navy, a guy whose been sleeping under the bridge, dodging eggs and rocks and ridicule while simply trying to survive. How does our society deal with our homeless? We care more for our illegal aliens and refugees, providing for their needs, but ignore the homelessness of American citizens and Veterans. There has to be an answer. I just don’t have one yet.

 

I went online and found a couple of possibilities, but most are geared up for counseling or adventures for veterans dealing with issues they had during active duty. I found very few local agencies or organizations in Colorado Springs that dealt with feeding or housing the homeless.

 

Winter is upon us, snow is in our future and we can bundle up if we must go out. What about the homeless veterans and others who have no shelter?

 

There is at least one company in town who builds tiny houses for those who can afford them. So why can we not allocate the resources necessary to address the homeless, provide assistance in food, shelter and job training and assistance for our most vulnerable?

 

In Colorado Springs there are motels (ComCor) that are turned into secure facilities for convicted criminals that are really facilities for rehabilitation and reentry into society.

 

Why not for our homeless? Not simply to provide housing, but to provide a total “VA Stand down” atmosphere where Veterans show up to have their veteran status verified, provide temporary housing, food, medical and dental checkup (prescriptions filled, eye ware renewed) job training and placement so they can moving into affordable housing, access to transportation and reentry into civilian life as productive citizens once more?

 

It’s easier said than done, but there has to be a way? It would require staffing services, committed medical and dental facilities, as well as dining facility and staff & food stocks, and oh so much more but it could be done with the right push by citizens, churches, non-profits, civic leaders and state legislators and the Department of Veterans Affairs all coming together to make Colorado Springs a leader overcoming homelessness.

 

As I said earlier I don’t have all the answers, but lots of questions and “Winter is Coming” and already is upon us. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

What is American Political Correctness?

11-2-2018

 

What is American Political Correctness?

 

 

To understand what we mean by political correctness we must identify the definition, terms and conditions of its application and use. Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary defines Political Correct as an adjective where “Conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated.”

 

In biblical terminology we see that there is a spiritual force behind Political Correctness as the forces of evil continue their rebellion and resistance to the supreme power of Almighty God.

 

We also need to understand when it began to be used and the context and for that we must refer to The Origins of Political Correctness as in the article by Bill Lind published on February 5, 2000.

 

Bill Lund’s article reveals Political Correctness in its three forms Cultural Marxism, Classic Marxism and Economic Marxism. Political Correctness has its roots as cultural Marxism. It goes back to World War I Europe and has the basic tenets as classical Marxism. Marxism is translated from economic into cultural terms.

 

Here we are in 2018 (eighteen years) after Bill’s article was published and what we see today are the advanced stages of feminism where feminists are the victims, the gay rights movement has morphed into the LGBT movement where they are the victims and history has been rewritten by the invented statistics movement, plus all the lying liars and all their lies and baseless demands have many Americans fearful of what they say, what they write and what they think.

 

Anyone on the political right who uses an offensive or insensitive word are labeled as racist, sexist or homophobic, while the political left claim its freedom to speak.

 

Cultural Marxism of Political Correctness, like economic Marxism, has a single factor explanation of history. Economic Marxism says that all of history is determined by ownership of means of production. Cultural Marxism, or Political Correctness, says that all history is determined by power, by which groups defined in terms of race, sex, etc., have power over which other groups and nothing else matters.

 

In the classical economic Marxism, certain groups are good – workers and peasants, and other groups are evil – capital and business owners.

 

In the cultural Marxism of Political Correctness certain groups are good – feminist women, (only feminist women, non-feminist women are deemed not to exist) blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals. These groups are determined to be “victims,” and therefore automatically good regardless of what any of them do. Similarly, white males are determined automatically to be evil, thereby becoming the equivalent of the bogyman in economic Marxism.

 

It is also interesting to note that in 1923 Germany a “think-tank” was established to translate Marxism from economic into cultural terms, thus creating Political Correctness as we know it today. A wealthy German by the name of Felix Weil became a Marxist and used his money to sponsors the First Marxist Work Week bringing leading Marxists together to iron out the differences in Marxism.

 

In the United States we see PC become prominent first with the peace movement and the hippies of the 1960s. Over time these hippies became college and university professors and deans and cultural Marxists began taking over campuses across the nation.

 

Because both economic and cultural Marxism rely on expropriation which is taking away personal property and rights of those who didn’t espouse the Marxist thought process. They began using things like quotas for admissions, affirmative action, regulating who graduates and who doesn’t.

 

In the business world and in government contracts are withheld from white owned companies in order to give minority and women owned companies priority, this is another form of Marxism.

 

Classical and Economical Marxists both have a method of analysis that automatically gives the answers they want. For the classical Marxist, it’s Marxist economics. For the cultural Marxist, it’s Deconstruction.

 

Deconstruction essentially takes any text, removes all meaning from it and re-inserts any meaning desired. So we find, for example, that all of Shakespeare is about the suppression of women, or the Bible is really about race and gender. All of these texts simply become grist for the mill, which proves that “all history is about which groups have power over which other groups.” We see that today as Political Correctness.

 

Since 2015 when Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency, he said he was going to drain the swamp. It was a figurative statement with literal repercussions. What he began doing after being sworn in as President was to begin deconstructing the political correctness we call the swamp.

 

The swamp is like the many tentacles of an octopus.  Once you identify and take measures to remove the tentacles, others begin earnestly interfering because they know that they are on the chopping block too.

 

The talking heads of the media and other Trump critics are constantly saying that he is too hard on the media, calling them the enemy of the people and Fake News. Normally politicians are trying to appease everyone and not become offensive. In case you don’t know, Donald Trump is not a normal politician. Every time he opens his mouth or sends a tweet someone is offended. It’s like America wanted another politician? Quite the opposite, America NEEDED a warrior president who would stand up for Americans and place America First.

 

Did I say that Donald Trump was not a normal politician? Well he isn’t!

 

World leaders know what the American liberal left has yet to learn, Donald Trump doesn’t make idle talk as President. He speaks from the heart and he makes promises that he intends to keep. His goal is for ALL Americans to get a better deal from our government. When he makes an announcement he has weighed the pros and cons and had already decided when he feels it is right for all Americans.

 

Donald Trump may very well be America’s “Last Samurai” warrior or our last “Gladiator” so be advised that he takes the job of being President of the United States very seriously and will never give up or give in when it comes to the welfare of the American people or the United States of America. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Anchor Babies and the 14th Amendment

11/1/2018

 

Anchor Babies and the 14th Amendment

 

President Trump has indicated that he’s going to issue an executive order putting a stop to the Anchor Baby citizenship debacle.

 

I know what you’re going to day. Everyone born on US soil is automatically an American citizen, right? Not so fast Sherlock that may not be true. In fact that may be the complete opposite of what is written in Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.

 

Amendment XIV (1868)

Section 1. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside……….”

 

When the amendment was written the writer specifically noted that no special law was being made, but it was to include blacks who had been slaves and thus not afforded the rights and privileges of citizenship.

 

Although the 14th Amendment has been challenged in the SCOTUS a number of times and upheld, there still seems to be an overall misunderstanding over its intent and meaning. A child is born to a natural born or a naturalized US citizen parent they are in fact citizens by birth.

 

 

In fact the misunderstanding is over what it didn’t say.

 

The 14th Amendment did not give automatic citizenship to foreign visitors, foreign dignitaries or illegal aliens nor did it give citizenship to offspring of foreigners born while on US soil, they are simply called uninvited guests who have unlawfully entered the US and are not US citizens by birth. They are citizens of the country of their mother’s citizenship.

 

Forget all the misinformation coming out of the main stream media or even when it is communicated by members of the US Legislature or other political figures. All foreigners must apply for citizenship and complete the naturalization process to be sworn in as US citizens after taking the oath of allegiance to this country and our flag. This includes denouncing their allegiance to their former homeland and forfeiting their citizenship.

 

DACA recipients were allowed to reside in the US with a path to citizenship that was illegal and unconstitutionally done through executive order of Barack Obama. Steps to terminate or invalidate it have been met with stiff resistance from politicians and through the legal system.

 

Although not needed, an executive order to close the door to what has become a lucrative business of encouraging and taking advantage of Anchor Babies is the perfect way to change the “business as usual” thinking of those engaged in the process. Any executive order issued by President Trump should probably include a directive invalidating or revoking the citizenship of EVERY Anchor Baby to date.

 

At the same time Congress should seriously consider Comprehensive Immigration Reform that closes loopholes and clears up confusing language leaving no doubt new immigration standards for the United States. The president may also want to close the borders to immigrants wanting to cross into the US from Mexico until such time as he feels that immigration control has become satisfactory. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
