On Tearing Families Apart

Should the government be in the business of tearing families apart is a serious question that demands an answer? With today’s emphasis being focused on children being separated from their family unit there should be increased discussion on the long term affects being placed on our society.

It’s almost reminiscent of a Hollywood sci-fi movie. Storm troopers marching in, busting down the doors and grabbing children and literally tearing them out of their mothers grasp.  Awful you say! It could never happen you think. Nobody would allow themselves to be used by an evil of a force like that. Nobody would stand by and allow that to happen. Not in America. Not in the United States.

What has the national news media focused on lately? What goes thru your minds when you are told the president is ripping children from their mothers and fathers, locking them in cages and treating them like animals? How do you visualize that scene in your mind? Let it sink in for a moment.

We in America have been desensitized over time until the unthinkable becoming reality. We are told that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are busting into homes and grabbing certain family members and deporting them. We are told that on the border the mean old Border Patrol is stalking immigrants who are people wanting a better life, the apprehend them, process them, then deport to an uncertain death.

Our hearts go out to these people. They are not animals to simply be tossed aside. They are human beings and they deserve to come to America. It is un-American to refuse entry to people who want to come here. That’s what we are told, right?

Have you looked at what the law says?

Title 8 – Aliens and Nationality of USC 1182 has amended Public Law 89-236 in 1965, amended Public Law 94-571 in 1976, amended Public Law 96-212 in 1980, amended Public Law 101-649 in 1990 and currently is in need of a comprehensive immigration reform bringing it in line with 21^st century standards, while maintaining national security?

USC 1182 lists the classes of aliens who are ineligible for visas or admission. The immigration laws are very complex and have severe penalties for violators. Immigration is a privilege that is extended to a wide range of people worldwide, yet is restrictive to certain categories, classes or groups of people to insure the national security of our nation.

I can understand the outrage over a perceived mistreatment of people wanting to come to America and that is only natural. Yet the outrage should be directed at the real cause of mistreatment, the people who organize for profit the movement (transportation) of people toward the United States and the governments who allow passage through their borders and yet enforce their own immigration standards. They are guilty of human trafficking whether or not they profit financially.

The shame and anger American’s feel should be directed toward the government who funds, supports and defends what is actually tearing families apart – the practice of Abortion! Here is where the Storm Troopers inside the facilities of Planned Parenthood ACTUALLY TEAR babies from the mother’s body, in many cases it’s piece by piece by piece and is done in the name of a “Woman’s Right to Choose”. It is here that women choose to lay the very life of their child down on the altar of “Choice” before the god of “Feminism” for whom you wear your pink hats and carry your offensive signage.

It is the shame of America to deny the “Immigration” of human life in the womb where it is naturally protected from conception through development and birth. Abortion is nothing more than “forced” birth and death is accomplished manually with instrumentation, and the carnage is simply discarded as human waste. Where is your outrage America? Where is your shame? Your very lack of it is offensive!

What’s wrong with the Real Donald J. Trump?

Based on a composition of commentaries published in the Realtruckmaster.blog series documenting the political firestorm that ensued during the Trump Campaign 2015 – 2016 and subsequently since the January 20^th, 2017 Inauguration of President Donald J. Trump as the 45^th President of the United States.

There have been charges, news reports and personal commentary on a wide variety of issues relating to the perception of Donald Trump by members of the entertainment, political, and sports figures that have been fueled on by the main stream media and fed to the public in real time via Facebook, Twitter and various podcasts and the talking heads of late night television. I want to thank all those people for making this book possible. Without your material future editions or sequels will not be possible.

Disclaimer: The author is in no way privy to the inner workings of the mind of Donald J. Trump or that of any Democratic Party spokespersons and no the Russians were not involved in this process. – The Author

In the Beginning

The Declaration of Candidacy for President of the United States

Who can forget the grand public entrance down the golden staircase of the Trump Tower with beautiful Melania Trump at his side when Donald J. Trump announced to the American people his candidacy for President of the United States?

What followed were the infamous GOP debates where everyone thought the first one to drop out would be billionaire, entertainer and non-politician Donald J. Trump.  Everyone thought his candidacy was simply a joke, a stunt for increased exposure and ratings of “The Apprentice” television show. When asked by the moderator if Donald Trump had what it takes to become president? Governor Mike Huckabee without missing a beat instantly replied, “On his worst day Donald Trump and ANY of the GOP candidates would be a better president than Hillary Clinton on her best day.” (Very loosely paraphrased)

Then there were the 2018 debates between Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Donald John Trump (R-NY) where the deck seemed to be stacked in favor of New York’s favorite queen bee. Remember when Hillary received the answers to the questions beforehand and made fun of Trump for not knowing the answers?

Sandwiched in between and around the debates were the rallies where Hillary’s were always shown with filled stadiums and hordes of devoted fans and admirers, while Trump’s were reported as pitifully small turnouts. Yes Hillary’s campaign was going to win and everybody knew it. Everybody except Donald Trump, whose campaign was in high gear from the start going state to state, coast to coast and making full use of the people Hillary called a “Basket of Deplorables” and were soon known as the “Flyover Nation”.

Yet even during the campaign Donald Trump became hated by the left and the right, while he made a connection with the people and even challenged voters (African-Americans) to think outside the box with, “What have you got to lose?” Trumps comments seemed to infuriate the Democrat Party and thus began the covert “Russian Collusion Investigation” of the Trump campaign and Russian meddling in the 2016 elections.

The Trump Presidency

POTUS #45

In much the same manner as Lincoln with his “Nation Divided” speech, stumped his way to the presidency; Roosevelt had his “Day of Infamy” and fireside chats; Kennedy used television with his “Ask not what your nation can do for you” speech; Reagan broadcast his “Take down this wall” speech from Berlin; Trump used twitter with his, “Make American Great Again” slogan and in true form Trump infuriated the Democrat Party over his use of twitter.

What was obvious to President Donald Trump was that his campaign had been under FBI surveillance with wiretapping. That sort of thing just doesn’t happen, at least not since Nixon’s Watergate scandal. When the president tweeted and went publicly on television he was painted by the liberal leftists as delusional and unfit for the presidency.

When President Trump issued an Executive Order ordering a halt to immigrants from six nations, the left launched a federal judge to stop this executive order and he was painted a racist who hated dark skinned people. A recent Supreme Court decision determined the Executive Order was within the constitutional rights of the President of the United States and is now being implemented.

When President Trump used the media and twitter to call leader Kim Jong Un “Rocket Man” and urge him to stop these provocative missile tests in which KJU threatened the security of the US and its allies or face “fire and destruction” such as has never been seen before, the leftists went ballistic. To the president it was no idle threat and to North Korea it was nothing new, as we had “bombed them into the stone age” during the Korean War which ended in a truce, not a peace treaty.

Previously the United States had entered into numerous non-proliferation agreements with North Korea with each ending up being violated by North Korea who then received U.S. Sanctions. Nothing has seemed to get through to the North Korean leadership, until recently when Kim Jong Un indicated he wanted to meet with President Trump.

When President Trump in January 2018 held a meeting with members of Congress to address DACA and Immigration, the president instructed Congress to use their legislative authority to make a Comprehensive Immigration Reform effort that would Stop chain migration, end the lottery system for visas, secure our borders and enhance enforcement and improve our military’s equipment, plus fix DACA. What came out of the private portion of that meeting was a misquote that was taken out of context and leaked by a member of Congress to the media that the president called third world nations s**tholes, and referred to immigrants as rapists and murderers, thus once again painting him as a racist.

In the interim Congress has done nothing to fix immigration law loopholes or to fix DACA. The president announced that he was going to allow DACA to expire naturally and it was up to Congress to do something about it. What they did was to get a federal judge to issue an injunction to prevent the president from allowing DACA to expire. Like how do you order the federal government to allow an unconstitutional order (DACA) to keep it active?

On several occasions massive “caravans” of migrants from South and Central American and African countries have traversed Central and North America, traveling through Mexico and converging upon the U.S. border region near San Diego, California and others where they simply expect to be allowed into the United States. These are migrants without any documentation and suddenly after being “coached” by liberal US lawyers on how to talk to immigration judges to gain entry. After ordering the Attorney General to instruct the DOJ to enforce a “zero tolerance” policy of enforcement for all immigrants the result is that violators are being prosecuted and processed for deportation, with the exception of minors are not being prosecuted but held for up to 20 days after being separated from parents, must be released, but to whom? The left has organized and painted the Trump administration officials as racists and compared to the Nazi’s of Germany during World War II.

There was a first of its kind meeting between the leaders of North Korea and South Korea held at the DMZ. After their meeting the leader of South Korea said that President Trump should be given the Nobel Peace Prize for making this historic meeting happen and the leftists said Trump wants the Peace Prize and there is nothing historic about it.

The president sent his new Secretary of State Mike Pompao to North Korea to discuss the possibility of a future meeting. The secretary explained what would have to happen before a meeting would happen. He also explained about total and irreversible non-proliferation and how it would have to be accomplished and verified. When the secretary returned to the U.S. he brought along two Korean nationals American citizens were being held in North Korea labor camps for teaching English to North Koreans. The leftists said it was no big deal because they didn’t know beforehand this meeting was going to take place and did not know what was actually said. The secretary announced that planning was underway for a meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un at an undisclosed location and date.

President Trump said on twitter that Kim Jong Un has been given the terms and if Trump doesn’t like what he sees in the first 60 seconds he will walk out and the meeting will be called off. Those on the left began calling Trump unstable and not qualified to talk to North Korea because he didn’t ask Congress.

A release to the media indicated that a meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un was scheduled to be held in Singapore on June 12^th, 2018. The ridicule from the left was immediate and continued for several days. Then the meeting was cancelled by President Trump without reason. The leftists said he word didn’t mean anything and he was being played by North Korea.

After another meeting in North Korea by Secretary Pompao and Kim Jong Un the meeting in Singapore was back on schedule after KJU received assurances that President Trump was not trying to remove him from power.

The historic meeting known as the Singapore Summit was the first time an American President had a face-to-face sit down meeting with a leader of North Korea (the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea). The “Trump-Kim Summit” was a total success by all standards as both leaders signed the formalized written document and shook hands. What was agreed to was the total and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean peninsula to be completed and verified within 2 ½ years. President Trump was praised by the international community, yet at home those on the left continued to ridicule him and accused him of “giving away the farm”.

When President Trump issued a proclamation that children would no longer be separated from families, the leftists wanted all immigrants to be release and allowed into the U.S. especially those without documentation or authorization and that is not going to happen. What the left fail to realize is that the president has the constitutional authority to STOP ALL IMMIGRATION and for as long has he sees fit. President Trump has on numerous occasions challenged the Congress to exercise their constitutional authority as legislators working together to put together a bill meeting his requirements and he will sign it. Rather than expending their efforts on productive legislation, there are those on the left who are instructing Democrats not to do anything the president wants done, and this is wrong.

In recent weeks we have begun witnessing the implosion of the Democrat Party as witnessed by Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) calling for the resignation of Homeland Secretary Neilson after she was harassed inside a Mexican restaurant by a group of protestors. We’ve seen Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) publicly telling her supporters to “Harass Trump Administration Cabinet Officials in public places, malls, restaurants and tell them they are not welcome anywhere, anymore.” This has led to White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders being asked to leave a restaurant because she works for POTUS. Then after moving to another nearby restaurant, the owner of the first one followed her with a group of protesters and began yelling at her in front of the other restaurant. This is totally delusion behavior that is not accepted in any setting.

When protesters accosted Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell and his family you would think that these protesters had lost their mind, attacking the person in the senate who controls the proceedings of the U.S. Senate, which has not yet allowed the nuclear option to be used. We’ve also seen protesters yelling at other cabinet officials, even screaming obscenities at President Trump during a public meeting.

There seems to be a total disconnect between Congressional Democrats and reality. These law makers have become notorious for being law breakers and chastising anyone with a differing opinion. It also seems that entrenched legislators have become emboldened in the past 2 years and now feel invincible thinking they can say and do anything with impunity. Congress is a self-policing branch and should begin the process of impeachment, indictment, censuring and removing some of the congressional dinosaurs who exhibit clear signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia affecting their judgment. Yet it is up to the America people to vote a newer breed of free-thinking democrats and republicans who want a better place to raise their children and grandchildren.

For those who have yet to realize what is wrong with the Real Donald J. Trump, it seems to be that he is in love with America and is truly concerned with what’s been happening to America from within and from other countries that have taken advantage of our leaders. Even if President Trump once again became a Democrat, the leftists would say that’s not enough.

What’s wrong with Donald J. Trump is what is wrong with every other American – He’s Human! Let me say this in closing, “DRAIN THE SWAMP MR. PRESIDENT” oh yeah and “BUILD THAT WALL SIR!” – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Time to End the Craziness from the Liberal Leftists

In less that the time it takes to order fast food the liberal leftists have come totally unglued and California seems to be one of the common denominators, as are the Congressional Black Caucus members who are vocally spewing their divisive and hate filled message of fear, intimidation and clandestine bullying tactics against America.

Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer and Democrat Representative Nancy Pelosi are battling against the Congress doing anything that would help the Trump Administration as we have “asylum seekers” and other undocumented migrants attempting to cross our borders. We’re supposed to cater to them?

We have MS-13 gang members posing as children “separated from their parents by U.S. immigration officials”, and it’s the liberal left who call us inhumane. Since our nations inception in 1776 our borders have seen some of the hardest working and innovative migrants this nation has ever seen. They have a host of job skills, dreams and have no illusion about how hard it will be, but still they are willing to give up everything and chase the American Dream.

Although flawed our immigration system has worked quite well until recently when our duly elected legislative body began tearing at the very fabric of our society. We have the “Blue Dog” Democrats aided by the “RINO” Republicans in Congress actively doing what they call “Resistance” toward the Executive Branch and President Trump’s entire administration’s efforts to make America a better place to live.

Historically California’s legislators have spoken out publicly castigating administration officials as they go about their constitutionally assigned duties. We’ve had Education Secretary Betsy DeVos held in contempt by administrators and teachers who lead students in open rebellion and outright disrespect as she visited public schools.

Homeland Security Secretary Nielson was publicly harassed by a group which included an employee of DHS while dining at a public restaurant. Instead of condemning the harassment California Senator Kamala Harris calls for the Secretary’s resignation.

Another Democrat Representative and Congressional Black Caucus member Al Green is drafting articles of impeachment against President Trump for misconduct?

Democrat House and Senate members openly challenge and oppose President Trump and his efforts to quell the manufactured immigration crisis near San Diego, California.

While another active member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and California Representative Maxine Waters, is calling for open harassment of Trump Cabinet officials in public spaces.

These are acts of rebellion and if left unchecked things will get much worse before they gets better. Voters must step in and change their representation at the voting box.

Here is one comment that I agree with that provide steps that can be taken presidentially to stop the Unlawful Immigration practice in its tracks.

It’s time for Trump to use his trump card on immigration

https://www.conservativereview.com/news/its-time-for-trump-to-use-his-trump-card-on-immigration/

When you have a flooding basement, the first thing any sane person would do is immediately work to stop the flow of new water before figuring out a strategy to deal with the water that already got in. That’s exactly how we should handle our flooded border. The president has a trump card, rooted in Article II of the Constitution to control foreign affairs, and reiterated as delegated congressional authority under 8 U.S.C. §1182(f) (Sec. 212(f) of the INA) to shut down all immigration. It’s time for him to pull the trigger and shut down all forms of border migration once and for all.

 

This comment sums up the legal fallout that is about to become those on the left who call for, organize or participate in a public disturbance or riot, as those not too smart legislators seem to have overlooked.

Dave Sweeney – June 25, 2018

Here’s the law violated: Under federal law, a riot is a public disturbance involving an act of violence by one or more persons assembled in a group of at least three people. Inciting a riot applies to a person who organizes, encourages, or participates in a riot. It can apply to one who urges or instigates others to riot. According to 18 USCS § 2102 “to incite a riot”, or “to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot”, includes, but is not limited to, urging or instigating other persons to riot, but shall not be deemed to mean the mere oral or written (1) advocacy of ideas or (2) expression of belief, not involving advocacy of any act or acts of violence or assertion of the rightness of, or the right to commit, any such act or acts.” Maxine Waters beware!!!

As you can tell the liberal left has totally gone of their rockers (literally) and are advocating for the downfall of the Trump Administration at the expense of American citizens. They are not setting a good precedence or example for future generations. I’m not a medical professional and cannot say clinically whether or not they are displaying signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s but their actions seem to indicate so.

While the Democrats are attempting to tear down American society Republicans are working to restore this nation to greatness beyond what it has been in the past. As we are into the mid-term elections in several states I urge you to get out and vote, but use common sense and help us remove these prime examples of liberal leftism who call themselves Congress.

All the while politics as we know it is changing faster than I change my socks. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Liberally Celebrating the 4^th of July

So American Independence Day is approaching and I wonder how wonderful it will be to throw on the proverbial feed bag liberal style? Traditionally Americans become patriotic with outdoor festivities, parades, fire crackers, BBQ’s and diverse activities planned for the entire weekend, but 2018 will be different.

How so you might ask? Why would this year be different? Are we not the same country we were last year and the year before and the year before that?

My answer is emphatically – NO, we are not!

Oh the people are the same they have not moved or changed their names, but they themselves have changed. We have ceased to be simply Americans. We are no longer neighbors, trusting neighbors. We no longer throw out the welcome mat for strangers. Yes America we have changed.

Long gone are the days of standing and saluting the American flag. No more reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, because according to past governmental decrees we are a selfish, spiteful and vengeful society. Any nation that is isolated from the rest of the world is a hateful place to live and we, America, are no different than say Iran, Turkey or North Korea.

Americans are tired of the Rule of Law in our land. We have become a land of Sanctuary Cities, Sanctuary Counties and Sanctuary States; Sanctuary, Sanctuary, Sanctuary – sanctuary from what?  It would appear it is sanctuary from good old fashion common sense.

As I said earlier American Independence Day is fast approaching. WooHoo!

Now if we are in such a sorry state of affairs as some would have us to believe, why would anyone want to leave their homeland and immigrate here? And why would so many spend countless days walking, hitching rides on trains, buses and trucks in order to make it to the U.S. border, if we are such a bad place to live?

Now back to July 4^th, 2018 why do we celebrate? What is independence; Independence from what or whom? Why is it even relevant in our day and time? I won’t try to answer those questions, because they are different for each of us. Remember we aren’t just Americans we are citizens of the United States of America.

Did you know that until recently our southern neighbor Mexico had been officially called The United States of Mexico? Now they have changed their name officially to Mexico, so as not to be confused with the United States.

Yes if you’re a left leaning liberal with Communist or Socialistic tendencies I don’t see how you would compromise your beliefs and call yourself an American Patriot or be able to enjoy an old fashioned BBQ or picnic. Or how you could stand or sit through a disgusting parade honoring our nation, our troops and our heritage? There’s no way you could recite the pledge or salute the flag which you hold in such disgust!

But look at the bright side. July 4^th, 2018 is the second Independence Day of the Trump presidency and conservatives across “flyover country” will be proudly flying our flags, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and reading our Bibles while thanking Almighty God for the freedoms we enjoy in America. We will pray for our nation’s leaders, and for our country that has given so much to make this world a better place with the help of God Almighty. We will enjoy breaking bread with our family and friends in an attitude of humbleness. We will pray for you, our liberal brothers and sisters and ask God to bless you and make you fruitful in this land we all love.

Yes indeed Independence Day is rapidly approaching. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

What are The Rights of Citizenship?

Stop Look and Listen!

There is a difference between basic human rights and the rights of citizenship. Everyone has a basic human right that is given by Almighty God. This is called the “Right to Life”. It is evidenced by the life blood flowing through the human body, and upon birth the breath of life which is breathed into each person’s lungs. Nobody has the right to end life prematurely.

In the United States of America enshrined in the Constitution (the Rule of Law) are what we have termed the Bill of Rights that are guaranteed to every citizen in the Amendments and we commonly refer to them as “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” where citizens enjoy the right to bear arms, to vote and a host of other benefits afforded all U.S. citizens. These are some of the reasons that draw people to our great nation.

So what are the rights of immigrants coming into the United States? They enjoy basic human rights, and must live peaceably and obey the laws of the land. Many are afforded the opportunity to apply for citizenship where they are then covered by the Bill of Rights. That’s it! Failure to comply with U.S. laws can result in fines and imprisonment or deportation and expulsion.

A direct result of the miseducation of the youth of our nation, as well as the ignorance of our citizens when it comes to knowing federal and state laws allow for the rise in misinformation and false narratives being pass on the internet and by the main stream media outlets nationwide this leads to today’s political climate which stems from a prolonged attack on the Constitution. Attacks to weaken our resolve for continued self-government and systematically attempting to remove the very rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

The United States of America is not a Democracy as some have eluded to, but as a Republic, to be more precise a “Constitutional-Republic” in which everyone is created equal by the Creator God. It is not wrong for our governmental leaders to look out for and protect the Constitution and the people of the United States while not succumbing to the pressures of public opinion which cries otherwise.

Our government is one “By the people and For the people”, not “To the people” and when the government becomes unresponsive to the people, they have the “Right” to petition for a governmental change.

“A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.” (unknown)

You may find this hard to believe, but everyone does not have the right to enter the boundaries of the United States. Just because someone wants to come here, they are not allowed to just come on in. They are afforded the opportunity to petition for entry, whether it is for clemency, employment, and residency or as a tourist. There are well established procedures that have worked quite well since our nation was established over 200 years ago. Even though the procedures have been changed and updated over the years, they are still effective when followed.

Currently those wishing to immigrate into this country should start with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate and fill out the necessary application paperwork and clearly spelling out why they want to come to the United States.

Many people falsely reference coming to the United States as “Coming to America”, but America in the technical sense covers the South, Central and North American continents. American citizens are not necessarily citizens of the United States, yet citizens of the United States are indeed citizens of America.

The United States of America is a nation of laws that are based upon biblical principles. Obedience of those laws is the essence of a healthy society. Disobedience leads to anarchy and the crumbling of an unhealthy society.

The foundation of our society has been built upon the backs of our citizens. It is protected by our first responders and the men and women of our nation’s military, who pledge their very lives for its defense. I urge you to consider where you are, where you live, work and play. Our strengths and weaknesses as a nation are only as strong or weak as our people, our citizens.

Stop letting the ultimate right or ultimate left define you. To paraphrase the words of former President Barack Obama, “There is not an African-American America, not a White America, not a Hispanic-American America, not an Asian-America. There is only the United States of America.” – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Comprehensive Immigration Reform Is There A Need?

On January 12, 2018 President Donald Trump held a meeting with select legislators to discuss Immigration and DACA. All of the big names were there, Pelosi, Schumer and a host of others from across the aisle. Among the things discussed while reporters were in the room was a need for a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill that included funding for the wall, enhanced enforcement personnel and equipment and a permanent solution for DACA. Everyone smiled and nodded and several spoke their piece about whether or not they supported the president’s recommendation. With the photo opportunity over and after reporters left the room the group got down to an actual discussion.

Later in a demonstration and show of political bias what was said about the meeting had nothing to do with the substance of the meeting, but a statement by a democrat member of congress who misquoted the president in order to stir up racial division and public sentiment against Donald Trump. What resulted was an orchestrated series of reports against the president and virtually shutting down what should have been a very productive meeting on Immigration Reform.

On several occasions since that January meeting the president has challenged the congress to prepare a bill, containing the four pillars discussed in the meeting, and he would sign it into law. The resistance of the democrats in congress is simply disgraceful. As a matter of record the republican controlled house and senate have been unable or unwilling to examine current immigration laws to determine errors that should be corrected by a new piece of legislation. Instead, democrats have proposed a bill to ban plastic straws from the capitol cafeteria!

So my question is Comprehensive Immigration Reform actually needed, or does it simply need enforcement and funding? Republicans say yes, CIR is needed to stem the flow of unlawful entry of foreign nationals into the country. Democrats say no, CIR is not needed we just need to allow everyone into the country, without regard to country of origin, nationality and especially if they are traveling with children. We should then allow them to run freely in the country, because detaining and vetting them through the current immigration process is un-American and in-humane.  So you be the judge?

Have you recently traveled outside the United States? Was it walking or by car, boat or air?

• Walking you can cross over into Mexico or Canada, but you need a passport and federal or state issued identification.
• By car you can go to Mexico or Canada, but you need a passport and federal or state issued identification.
• By boat you can cruise the Caribbean, or off the coast of Mexico, or even up along the coast to Alaska, but you need a passport and federal or state issued identification.
• By air you can travel to destinations around the world, but you still need a passport and federal or state issued identification.

What about returning from a trip outside the United States?

• Whether walking or by car, you must pass through an authorized entry point where they check your credentials and your passport and federal or state issued identification.
• By boat you must go through an authorized entry point at the pier where they check your credentials and your passport and federal or state issued identification.
• By air you must pass through an authorized entry point where they will check your passport and federal or state issued identification and you will be required to stand in front of a camera where your picture will be taken and your index finger scanned using biometric software, then they will collect your customs declaration and inspect of your luggage for contraband. Violations can result in fine or imprisonment.

What happens if you want to travel outside the United States and do not have documentation, such as a passport and federal or state issued identification? You will be denied and if you make a fuss or a scene you will be apprehended then arrested and could face imprisonment on federal charges.

Let us examine the so called “asylum seekers” and “refugees” who come through Mexico to authorized border crossings into the United States. The main stream media would have you to believe that these are people who have made the long and arduous journey over a period of many months, facing extreme and unimaginable hardships, escaping oppressive conditions and should be allowed into the United States without question or documentation.

The liberal legislators in congress would have you to believe that America has an obligation to allow entry to these people and that President Trump is standing at the border ripping children from the arms of their mothers and locking them up in cages while deporting the adults without reuniting families – Unimaginable! Unconscionable! Disgraceful! And the liberal left makes their plea in front of news cameras which adds to the effect. That is what we see minute by minute, hour by hour on TV.

Well I hate to burst your bubble (yes your bubble), but that is all hype. Those are real people alright, and yes they want to come to the United States to live a better life, and many are escaping oppressive conditions back in their homeland. Yes those who enter without documentation are being detained and vetted for entry into the United States. BUT………..

• Why didn’t these people apply for amnesty or residency at the FIRST COUNTRY of their journey?
• Why didn’t these people go to the nearest US Embassy or US Consulate and apply for amnesty?
• Why didn’t any of the countries these people pass through offer them amnesty or residency?
• Why did these countries allow or even assist these people transit to the United States?
• Why do people think that everyone who WANTS to come to the United States MUST be allowed entry?
• Why do liberal democrats who see the issue not seek to fix it, rather than pass the blame to the president?

The issue of immigration is not a new issue. After World War II immigration laws changed to allow quotas of immigrants from various countries, with varying job skills permanent or temporary (residency or work visas) and a path to citizenship for those who qualify.

What has changed?

I can think of only one single incident in the history of the United States that would be the cause of this dilemma, and it wasn’t the events on September 11, 2001, although that even caused stricter procedures to insure anyone wishing entry into the United States was not intent on her destruction.

It is the job of every American and our elected and government officials and agencies to keep America safe, and to protect the Constitution of the United States of America.

The single event that brought all of this to a head and has Americans raising their hands in total anger has nothing to do with the way in which immigration is being enforced it has everything to do with the biased media coverage after the election of President Donald J. Trump.

Donald Trump made a number of campaign promises, he said he would build the wall (along our southern border and Mexico would pay for it) and he would “Drain the Swamp”. Nobody expected him to have to keep those promises because Hillary Clinton would soon be the next president and that didn’t happen.

The Constitution is the rule of law in the United States of America. The three branches of government are the Legislative Branch (who make laws), the Executive Branch (president signs into law), and the Judicial Branch (insure the constitutionality of the laws). They are designed as a check and balance against any one branch overpowering any other branch.

The president sets the foreign policy of the United States, and with the backing of congress and the American people the world sees our nation as that “light upon the hill” talked about by President Reagan.

President Lincoln once invoked a bible verse when he said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand”. That is why we honor our nation with a pledge, “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”.

Veterans of the United States military have taken 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 and the officers appointed over us.

We stand in the gap for America and for Freedom, which is never free.

The Swamp Just Got Bigger

This morning the liberal left and both democrats and republicans were berating President Trump for tearing families apart, locking up children and prosecuting parents, unthinkable they said, disgraceful they said.

President Trump took that message to heart and signed an executive order giving Congress an opportunity to change immigration laws to prevent family separation. Good job Mr. President they said – NOT.

In fact before the ink had dried on the executive order liberal democrats were crying foul. That’s not enough, you can’t incarcerate entire families forever they said, you must let them go they said.

President Trump declares that “zero tolerance” will continue and illegal entry will not be allowed. The media continues to blitz a false narrative, of numerous and massive concentration camps reminiscent of the Nazis of WWII Germany, all over the news, chastising President Trump and his administration for dastardly deeds and major misdemeanors.

The legislators in both the House and in the Senate have drafted multiple bills which will fix much of the immigration issues, but guess who is not doing their part, Senator Chuck Schumer and Company, and the Representative Nancy Pelosi and CBC gang. They are not only not playing, but not even showing up for the vote. Well why doesn’t both the House and the Senate LOCK THE DOORS TO THE CHAMBERS and not unlock them until a majority of THOSE PRESENT cast their votes? (Remember how voting was done on Obamacare?)

While they’re at it, how about a resolution (or bill) be presented, voted on and passed that would dock the pay of legislators who intentionally and willingly refrain from attending the proceedings and casting their votes?

It becomes very clear that there is a movement within the legislature, aided by the media and compounded by various cabinet agency senior officials to stop the Trump administration at all costs, and to tear down the national borders of the United States and overturn the Rule of Law as mandated by the Constitution of the United States.

We have seen what will happen when senior FBI officials decide to go rogue, sabotage official investigations, guide along fake inquiries, and repeatedly lie to congressional oversight committees in a covert and overt attempt to disrupt a national election, unseat a sitting president and bring the federal government to a halt in disgrace and now subvert the immigration laws of the United States by overwhelming the entire immigration process.

A critical component of this silent coup is the disarming of Americans by insane gun control laws which allow law enforcement to seize weapons of non-compliant citizens who are unwilling to simply hand over their very means of self-defense.

I say this in all seriousness, you are either the solution or you are the problem. Stand by, do nothing and then you will surely have no leg to stand on when America is no longer “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave”. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Political Posturing on Immigration

America is tired of the extreme bias, contempt and hatred being stirred up due to inaccurate and misleading reports on the Trump administrations enforcement of current immigration laws and other matters. One must distance oneself from the issues and examine each one individually and with logical thinking in order to identify problem areas and formulate solutions to the complex issue of immigration.

As of today what we see in the news is not always what it is reported to be. Turn on the news or go online to follow “breaking news” feeds will show one of two main sides to the current immigration story, “the children being separated from their families by Donald Trump” or “Congress can fix immigration”. So let me weigh in on this subject.

The Legislative Branch (Congress) is responsible for creating and passing in both the House and the Senate bills to be sent to the president.

The Executive Branch (President) is responsible for signing bills from Congress into law.

The Facts:

• Anyone who gains unlawful entry into the U.S. is an illegal alien
• Apprehended aliens who gained unlawful entry into the U.S. are prosecuted
• Aliens who unlawfully enter the U.S. are prosecuted
• Minor alien children brought by parents unlawfully into the U.S. are not prosecuted, but held until reunited with their parents
• Alien parents are brought before the federal immigration judge without their children to be sentenced
• Aliens and family members with valid pleas are admitted
• Aliens and family members without valid pleas are deported to their home country

The message sent by the Trump Administration is clear, “Don’t come into the U.S. unlawfully, violators will be prosecuted”.

All the hype (and it is just that) about Trump’s policy places and holds children in prison camps while their parents are prosecuted and deported are not true, simply misleading the American people and the world.

Democrat members of Congress, former presidents and their family members have spoken out publicly against the Trump Administration’s enforcement of current immigration law. They are playing on the emotions of a naïve public in an attempt to prevent enforcement of immigration laws.

There are individuals who are trained in the law, obtain their license to practice law in the U.S. who are currently violating the law by entering Mexico with the INTENT and PURPOSE of instructing immigrants on how to interact with immigration judges in order to gain entry into the U.S.

This entire situation can and must be remedied by the U.S. Congress. No amount of trash talking President Trump or his administration changes that.

On several occasions televised meetings have shown the president encouraging members of congress to do Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Secure our Southern Border and Strengthen Enforcement Measures, and to FIX DACA.

What has congress done about those issues to date?

So put blame where blame is due and credit where credit is due.

When people from any nation cross through any other nation with the specific INTENT of unlawful entry into the U.S. it is the duty of the government of the United States to insure lawful entry is allowed and unlawful entry is prevented.

Immigration and Asylum they are two different entities. Immigration is the lawful entry into the United States of foreign nationals. Asylum is the fleeing of refugees from their homeland in the face of persecution, false imprisonment and/or death. Those seeking to immigrate into the U.S. must follow established guidelines and procedures.

To apply for admission

• The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services by going online here https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/green-card-processes-procedures or
• The U.S. State Department online here https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process.html or
• Visit a nearby U.S. Embassy or Consulate

It is up to the American people without regard to political persuasion to ignore the hype (smoke and mirrors) to see not only the problems inherent with current immigration policies and to contact their members of congress and insist solutions be sought, considered and adopted so this “circus performance” ceases. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

A Perspective on Obama Politics

This is my take on Barack H. Obama and his politics, yet in the scheme of things I may not be able to change or affect anyone else when it comes to politics.

When I look at current situations concerning border security, immigration and the world’s nuclear proliferation in the context of Barack Obama and his coming onto the political stage it’s easy to see that he affected the outcome of these events as a U.S. Senator from Illinois 2005 – 2008,  and as President of the United States 2009 – 2016.

You might ask, how could he possibly singlehandedly affected either of these situations?

Well let me tell my theory on Barack Obama since I normally don’t delve into anything with his name on it for personal reasons.

Before you get all huffy on me, let me ask, “What have you done to inform Barack Obama of YOUR concerns about him or his presidency?” Have you spoken to him about them? Have you written him at the White House? Have you went online and filled out that WH questionnaire to the President? How about email or twitter contact?

Until you have at least recognized a problem and proposed a solution to him via one of the above methods while he was a state or U.S. Senator or as POTUS, don’t talk to me about being biased or racist or whatever. (Never mind, I’m trying to do this logically, ok?)

I’ve gone online to a number of different websites to gather information on Barack Obama. You can get detailed information here http://www.barackobama.net/index.html

I’m not going to delve into his biography as it is available at the link above. Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961 and raised in Hawaii. His higher learning education was first at Occidental College in Los Angeles, then graduating in 1983 from Columbia University in NYC.

In 1988 “Barry” enrolled at Harvard Law School, was the first black elected president of the Harvard Law Review and graduated from Harvard in 1991.

Obama returned to Chicago where he worked in a civil rights law firm and a lecturer at the University of Chicago. He began working as a community organizer and spreading the ideology of Saul Alinsky in his academic corner of the world.

He won his first election as an Illinois state senator in 1996, then served for 8 years.

In 2004 he gave this impressive keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention:

“There’s not a liberal America and a conservative America,” he declared, “There’s a United States of America. There’s not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America. There’s a United States of America.”

In 2004 he became a US Senator from Illinois and the Obama website above lists his US Senate voting record by year.

Giving credit where credit is due Obama was primary sponsor of 4 bills that were enacted:

1. 906 (110^th Congress) Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008
2. 1513 (110^th Congress) Predominantly Black Institution Act of 2007
3. 2125 (109^th Congress) Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act of 2006
4. 3757 (109^th Congress) A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 950 Missouri Avenue in East St. Louis, Illinois, as the “Katherine Dunham Post Office Building”

These are the key votes of Barack Obama in the Senate

• Yea – HR 6304 (110^th Congress) FISA Amendments Act of 2008
• Not Voting – HR 2419 (110^th Congress) Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
• Yea – On the Nomination PN177 – General George W. Casey, Jr., in the Army, to be General

In 2005 when Barack Obama was a US Senator from Illinois North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) vowed to close their nuclear program, but instead announced they had successfully conducted their first nuclear test with an underground explosion in 2006.

This is potentially the first time Senator Barack Obama had the opportunity to stop North Korea, but legislative action didn’t work. So what our legislators or the president do next?

In 2007 Obama launched his presidential campaign and at the same time North Korea announced it was preparing to shut down its main nuclear facility. North Korea even agreed to disable the facility in exchange for fuel and aid and normalized talks between the US and Japan.

In 2008 Barack Obama secured the DNC nomination selected fellow Senator Joe Biden as his vice-presidential running mate. After winning the 2008 election and inaugurated in 2009 as president.

Then in April 2009 North Korea launched a satellite and the agreement fell apart and became a full-fledged nuclear power. On May 25, 2009 a second nuclear test was conducted.

In April 2012 North Korea conducted a long-range missile test.

On January 6, 2016 North Korea claimed to test a hydrogen bomb.

On February 7, 2016 North Korea claimed to have put a satellite into orbit.

On 9 September 2016 North Korea conducted a fifth nuclear test.

On November 8, 2016 Donald Trump won the election.

On January 6, 2017 North Korea confirmed it had nuclear weapons.

Donald Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017 as President.

In 2017 North Korea test-launched two ICBMs and announced the test of another hydrogen bomb.

After a brief Twitter “war”, on June 12, 2018 Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un met face to face at the Singapore Summit and signed an agreement for total denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. The details have been spelled out and not we’re awaiting results while continuing sanctions.

I guess my question is at any time in his presidency did Barack Obama offer to sit down with Kim Jong Un? If so when? If not, why not?

The North Korean problem has been in existence for 70 years without a US president taking the unprecedented steps to have a sit down, drag out, face to face meeting and nobody has offered any reasons why it didn’t happen sooner?

As for the DACA debacle of 2012 that is entirely Obama’s creation. Congress is at fault for not having taken steps to conduct Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

After Obama took office he hammered Congress over CIR. Then he just got tired of waiting and circumvented Congress using an Executive Order unconstitutionally. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know one does not use illegal techniques to combat illegal immigration.

Remember back in 2000 when Bill Clinton’s DOJ forcibly extracted Elian Gonzalez from his family in the US, after his mother drowned in 1999 trying to escape Cuba with her 5 year child.

We’ve been dealing with a “broken” immigration system for years neither Clinton, nor Obama (or previous presidents for that matter) had been able to get Congress to fix immigration problems.

After taking office Donald Trump had a meeting in the White House and told Congressional representatives of both parties to draft up a CIR package and fix DACA. They still haven’t fixed it.

Now today I have yet to see Obama come out in support of a Trump CIR plan that is identical to the one he proposed to Congress after taking office. So yes it is Obama, Congress, and each previous president’s fault when given the opportunity to fix some serious problems did nothing. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
