Questioning the Politics of Politics

Politics like Religion lead you nowhere

Bear with me now but there are just some things that don’t make a lot of sense unless, of course, it deals with Washington D.C. politics or politicians and the media attention they draw. We always seem to hear when things happen that tear down one politician after another. Except when these actions are despicable and destroy the reputation of another. Many times there are allegations or innuendoes suggesting illegal wrongdoings which turn out to be false or misleading.

Look at the Nixon presidency and what he was attempting to do around the world and with the war in Vietnam. Just when you’d think he was about to succeed something happened that changed everything. The infamous Watergate scandal turned into threats of impeachment and ultimately to the unheard of resignation of Richard Nixon.

It does seem a bit odd that it involved individuals breaking into the Democratic National Committee Headquarters. The recorded conversations of Nixon in the White House were his undoing. My question is why would someone break into the DNC Headquarters in the first place? Were there stacks of gold bullion or libraries of pornographic pictures featuring Democratic political hopefuls? Maybe there were secret documents waiting for the Mueller Investigation to dig up on Donald Trump?

There have been others like when the Iranians took a host of American civilians as political prisoners and kept them until immediately after the swearing in of Jimmy Carter as President when they were released. But we don’t hear much about that.

Reagan came in as an outsider and everyone thought of him as a cowboy not suited to the presidency. Surely Reagan would take us down the road to war. The airstrike on Libya that missed Kaddafi, but killed his son were perfect examples, but did we go to war over that?

There was a buzz in Washington when G.H.W. Bush sent our military to Saudi Arabia where troops were met on the beach by CNN who broadcast openly about the ongoing secret invasion. How did CNN know when and where to place their camera teams? Has anybody looked for a leaker or whistleblower to be held accountable? I think not.

Clinton brought all his baggage into the White House and his sexual escapades literally drove the headlines with the cherry on top being the Monica Lewinsky scandal. This brought calls of impeachment and Clinton was in fact impeached, but not removed from office. The media didn’t hound him and make unreasonable demands. The terrorist strike on the USS Cole didn’t draw the response from Clinton or a reaction from the media even though US lives were lost.

1. W. Bush came in basically on his father’s coattails and was almost immediately hit with 9/11 and drawing a focused response on terrorists also drew a focused resistance from the left and the media which haunts him even today.

Obama was something else. Coming from out of nowhere he eclipsed Hillary to take the DNC nomination and ultimately the presidency. The funny (not so) thing about the Democrats and Obama even before the swearing in ceremony the FBI received an anonymous tip that Somali terrorists had snuck into Minnesota and were planning on an assassination during the Obama inauguration. This put the FBI on high alert but nothing happened and it was soon forgotten.  The 9/11/12 attack on Benghazi was spun out of control in as US leadership and administration officials squashed all efforts to respond to the attack and save the lives of US personnel under attack for more than 13 hours. The media was complicit in spinning the story of an anti-Muslim video. This entire matter was washed over and not sufficiently investigated. Another incident was the hiring of foreign nationals as IT professionals for Democratic legislators and in the DNC with full access to the DNC official computer network. But the spin was pointing to Russia and the Trump campaign as conspirators in hacking the DNC computer system. Again what is in the DNC computers that is so important that anyone would want to hack into it, but so secret that FBI investigators were not given access to the computers after the hack?

Trump came in promising to drain the swamp, build the wall and expose the deep state. Just making those promises to fight for the American people have unleashed the forces of darkness like we’ve never seen before. For almost 3 years we’ve heard Russia, Russia, Russia and the evidence has been null. Now we’re hearing Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine and the transcript is null. What is seeping to the surface is a host of Obama administration officials doing a host of things that are unethical and illegal in dealing with US assets, Russia and Ukraine. What Trump has brought back into America is patriotic pride and opened a can of worms called hate and lies. It will be interesting how this plays out over the next 5 years, but in the meantime we’re getting ready for another round of the Democratic Circus Acts featuring Gerald Nadler and Adam Schiff, with ringleaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. We even have guest appearances by Maxine Waters and AOC + 3 which at times is very entertaining. So head to the refrigerator, grab a cold one and a bag of popcorn. Set the DVR to record and watch the show begin, and begin, and begin again and again. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

When They Go High We Go Low

That is the mantra of the Progressive Democratic Party. It’s a double standard that we’ve seen it boldly played out since the 2016 Presidential Election.

Take the congressional softball game where a shooter wounds a republican congressman and the media gives it minimal coverage.

But remember the mail bomber who sent packages to prominent democratic legislators? It was all over the airwaves and the internet for several days until the FBI miraculously hunted down and arrested the “perpetrator” and that was right before the midterm elections of 2018.

What about the sudden rise of sexual allegations by a prominent educator against a Supreme Court nominee? It was the talk of the town and still surfaces in an attempt to smear the now sitting SCOTUS justice. Based on lies, allegations and ending up profiting the accuser while attempting to destroy a man simply because he was nominated by President Trump?

The Russia Collusion delusion was one of the biggest hoaxes played on the American people. Also lies and false allegations that normally would bring ruin to many a politician’s political career and ran for more than 2 years and the “investigation” revealed no basis for it in the first place.

Another long running scam from the democratic playbook is the Impeachment inquisition. Simply a real life version of “Chicago Politics” and mob tactics, in an attempt to get the sitting president to default on his promise to American voters – drain the swamp. The latest chapter is using the Ukrainian presidential phone calls as an excuse to bring forth the impeachment inquiry with trumped (that’s a riot in itself) up charges by Chairman Adam Schiff who wrote his own version of the call after reading the transcript. Then he proceeded to read into the official records the shady Schiff version while stating it was what the president said. That’s why it’s important to see, hear and/or read instead of “This is what the President meant or said”.

I think it was Michelle Obama and parroted by Hillary Clinton the phrase of “When they go high, we go low”. In sports it would equate to hitting below the belt, clearly against the rules of fair sportsmanship. But alas this is not sports. It is war and everyone knows that anything goes in love and war, right?

To muddy up the waters we have the ongoing fiasco of Climate Change where fiction is being touted as fact and what better place than in the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. So let’s set the record straight – the climate has always been changing. God created it to change constantly. However to say that in 12 years the world will end and all mankind will be killed because of the climate is a flat out hoax. Is there a danger in cutting down all the rainforests and trees around the world? Yes, but planting trees to take their place is taking a responsible approach to preserving nature. Do banning plastic straws and cow farts help the environment? Not even a little bit.  Take into consideration the wasteful habits of humans to literally throw away unwanted or unneeded items and that greatly outweighs the savings of banning plastic straws. But this is something for another article.

The Progressive Democratic Party leadership have become very focused on doing whatever possible to reverse the reforms instituted by President Trump, simply because it loosens their grip on power over the people who voted for and sent them to Washington DC in the first place. They vow to give all sorts of free stuff to those who haven’t worked to earn it, and do so by taking from those who do work for it. They want to raise taxes on the super-rich, while ignoring and/or hiding the fact that they (politicians) are among the super-rich and did so while in public office.

We must not forget that politicians work for the people. Once they have obtained your vote you are dispensable, at least until the next time your vote is needed to secure their power. Nothing in life is free and all the promise of free stuff is simply how to enslave (endure) people (You’re now obligated to vote for me). It matters not what political party you choose to belong to because everything has a cost. When you were a baby you are fed “baby-food” and there comes a time when you want to eat real food like everyone around you.  The same is true in politics. There comes a time when you must think and decide for yourself. Are your politicians really working for your best interests or their own self-interests?

Maybe it’s time for a change? Are you willing to leave the political plantation? Or are you content with getting your share of free stuff? You cannot serve God AND mammon. Who or what is your god? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Case to Impeach Donald J Trump

It seems we are back where we started from almost 3 years ago. The House Democrats lead by Speaker Nancy Pelosi with her two lieutenants Chairman Adam Schiff and Chairman Gerald Nadler are firing up their respective committees in order to Impeach the sitting President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

After salivating over tidbits and morsels of a concocted version of what would make a movie audience go to sleep, they now have the silver bullet. They have caught President Trump in the act of communicating with a foreign power in a quid quo pro of influencing the 2016 elections, or so they think.

Like a student going through books in the school library they have finally found the playbook on taking down the President of the United States brought forward by a diligent member of the CIA who turned into a whistleblower (protected by law) even though what he brought forward was something he admitted he had no direct knowledge of, but had been told what someone, a source in the White House had told him about a phone call between President Trump and the President of the Ukraine back in July 2019.

Immediately this great news was grasped by House Speaker Pelosi and she called for a vote on the House floor for an Impeachment Inquiry of President Trump. Both House Democrats and Republicans pounced on this with both feet and most likely cheered and patted each other on the backs for finally getting what they had been seeking since Donald Trump won the Republican nomination in 2015.

There was only one problem and that was when the President released a full and un-redacted transcript of said call so everyone could read for themselves the entire phone conversation. I read it and found nothing improper had taken place. It was simply a cordial conversation where both men complimented each other on their election victories and Trump asked him to look into what happened to the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating a company involving the son of a then sitting Vice President Joe Biden and something called Crowdstrike?

That transcript release did little to stop Chairman Schiff from fabricating his own version of the Trump call and reading it into the record. So moving forward toward the impending Impeachment could very well be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back because there simply was no crime committed by President Trump and all the accusations made by Democrats are what they themselves have been guilty of doing.

Here’s what impeachment will do to President Trump and to the Democratic Party members of both the House and Senate. It will formalize a trial of the President where the House acts as prosecutors (very fitting given their propensity for asking lots of irrelevant questions) and the Senate – all 100 members will be the jury. Presiding over the Impeachment Trial will be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts.

There will be indictments, witnesses to call and this will become a circus like never before in the history of this nation. Very likely we will see President Obama and members of his administration being called and questioning will be quite serious as they discuss foreign interference in the 2016 election which will show ALL the players at their best.

Since the call for an Impeachment Inquiry by Speaker Pelosi thousands of American voters have abandoned the Democratic Party and literally thousands of GOP donors have come forward insuring President Trump’s re-election after failing to remove him from office.

The entire nation and the world will see more clearly how utterly preposterous the Democratic members of Congress had become and American voters will begin selecting new members of Congress to carry out their wishes. Many of the current legislators will be unsuccessful in maintaining their seats in office and will be relegated to follow up Impeachment trials into their misconduct while members of Congress going back literally 40 + years for many.

Impeachment is not something that builds up the nation, nor does it restore trust and confidence in those who partake of it. The entire process seeks to nullify the vote of the people and bring down a dully elected President. The founding fathers wrote into the Constitution at Impeachment was restricted to “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” and was not to be taken lightly nor abused. They would be turning over in their graves if they were watching the fiasco taking place in Congress today.

American’s have a high threshold for tolerance yet a low tolerance for stupidity. Rather than working for the American people many of today’s politicians have opted to ignore their official duties as their quest for power through corruption has turned into greed and hatred because the 2016 election did not go their way. Hillary Clinton has failed to admit that SHE and she alone lost the election because she was so smitten with the idea of becoming the first female President of the United States at any price!

The 2020 election will insure President Trump another 4 years to continue to drain the swamp and out the deep state operatives who seek to destroy the very fabric of our society. We are with you Mr. President as you fight for us – the deplorables from fly over country! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Roller Coaster of the Progressive Democratic Party

I don’t know about you but either its DEJAVU or we’ve seen this trick a time or two over the past 3 years. An unnamed (Whistleblower) source has revealed that he has caught President Trump in the act of being presidential with a foreign leader. In fact it so happens that President Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian leader was highly inappropriate and placed undue pressure for an investigation into the Joe Biden pay-for-play over Hunter Biden’s business dealings in the Ukraine during the Obama administration. Joe Biden was the sitting Vice President and used his official influence to insure his son Hunter emerged with a huge amount of money paid to him for what, services rendered?

On the hearsay of the so-called whistleblower House Democrats went from zero to Mach-Nine as they began formulating their plans to impeach President Trump. The only problem (oh there are many) thus far is the fact that the whistleblower heard it from an unnamed source, who heard it from an unnamed source with absolutely no evidence to substantiate the inappropriate phone call. Sound familiar?

That brings to mind what the Democrats have been threatening over the past 3 years, but just haven’t found any flypaper to make things stick. This case is no different because just as House Speaker Pelosi made her revealing announcement, President Trump gave the order to release the transcript of the suspect phone call, calling it a normal part of foreign relations on his part.

So that brings us back to the whistleblower who in reality is nothing more than a deep state leaker who wasn’t even assigned to monitor or listen in to the official call, and has only hearsay information which wouldn’t stand up in a court of law, but is enough for the lawmakers of the Democratic House.

It seems to me that President Trump may have had something special in mind that would blow up in the faces of House Democrats and they didn’t see it coming. What I refer to as not seeing the forest for the trees scenario.

It seems that every time something really great happens for the good of the nation, the Democratic legislators think they are firemen throwing water on the fire, when in reality they grabbed the can marked “Highly Explosive – Gasoline”.

The real crimes are being committed by certain House Democrats who have “Gone Rogue” (Sorry Governor) a long time ago. They beat the impeachment drum wildly and show themselves out to be cowards at best and traitors to their elected constituents and to the nation as a whole.

Congress was never meant to be a career path and many of the House and Senate members who’ve been in Congress more than 2 terms are living proof that advanced aging can really be a pain. It must be tough going into the chamber of Congress and forgetting why or what you’re doing there?

This stunt by House Democrats will do one thing and one thing only and that is to insure that President Donald J. Trump is re-elected in 2020 and the swamp will continue to drain. Don’t believe me? Well folks all I can say is “Hold On Buttercup” the roller coaster is about to move. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Have We Lost The Art Of Journalism?

Gone are the days of Clark Kent and Lois Lane reporters for the major newspaper of their fair city. In the day and age of the internet where anything goes and nothing is sacred.

Things began to change after the Second World War. Honesty and character were the norm. A man’s word is his bond was actually sealed with a handshake. Hard work built character. Families were taught to honor and respect parents, the elderly and authority. Life wasn’t always fair. Becoming a journalist was easy, but becoming well respected had to be earned.

The really tough part was covering without become the story. Journalists around the world held to certain principles. It has always been important to report the truth accurately. Staying independent of any influences and maintaining fairness and impartiality were important. Keep in mind the humanity of the lives being affected. Most of all professionals are responsible journalists standing by their words and admitting when an error has been made is being responsible.

A coveted spot for journalists has been covering the President of the United States. America has ogled over little John-John and Caroline and the children who resided in the White House residence. The formation of the White House Press Corp made it possible to maintain an orderly team of journalists who would insure America was informed of the goings on within the White House.

What we’ve seen since the 2016 election is a departure from the norms of journalism. No matter what is going on with the presidency, the national economy or world events today’s journalists have allowed personal prejudices to influence the accuracy of their reporting to the point of becoming disrespectful and belligerent toward the White House Press Secretary, President Trump and his administration officials and their families.

The vitriol and hatred expressed by members of the media is inexcusable and leads me to believe that we’ve truly lost the Art of Journalism. Let me present five basic standards which professional journalists must adhere to.

Five Principles of Ethical Journalism

https://ethicaljournalismnetwork.org/who-we-are/5-principles-of-journalism

1. Truth and Accuracy
   Journalists cannot always guarantee ‘truth’, but getting the facts right is the cardinal principle of journalism. We should always strive for accuracy, give all the relevant facts we have and ensure that they have been checked. When we cannot corroborate information we should say so.

   2. Independence
   Journalists must be independent voices; we should not act, formally or informally, on behalf of special interests whether political, corporate or cultural. We should declare to our editors – or the audience – any of our political affiliations, financial arrangements or other personal information that might constitute a conflict of interest.

   3. Fairness and Impartiality
   Most stories have at least two sides. While there is no obligation to present every side in every piece, stories should be balanced and add context. Objectivity is not always possible, and may not always be desirable (in the face for example of brutality or inhumanity), but impartial reporting builds trust and confidence.

   4. Humanity
   Journalists should do no harm. What we publish or broadcast may be hurtful, but we should be aware of the impact of our words and images on the lives of others.

   5. Accountability

A sure sign of professionalism and responsible journalism is the ability to hold ourselves accountable. When we commit errors we must correct them and our expressions of regret must be sincere not cynical. We listen to the concerns of our audience. We may not change what readers write or say but we will always provide remedies when we are unfair.

EJN supporters do not believe that we need to add new rules to regulate journalists and their work in addition to the responsibilities outlined above, but we do support the creation of a legal and social framework, that encourages journalists to respect and follow the established values of their craft.

In doing so, journalists and traditional media, will put themselves in a position to be provide leadership about what constitutes ethical freedom of expression. What is good for journalism is also good for others who use the Internet or online media for public communications.

It is well to remember that internet bloggers, tweeters and Facebookers would be well to adhere to these standards before facing legal troubles of libel, slander and malfeasance. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Elevating From The Swamp

I am guilty of referring to Congress as “The Swamp” not without good reason. Every day we are subject to the unprofessional antics and political stunts played out on Social Media and Television day time talk shows and even news anchors or so called political analysists.

There are certain Constitutional responsibilities afforded members of Congress, among those are creating laws and adhering to certain ethical standards in the performance of their jobs. For the most part members of Congress do a fairly good job at conducting themselves in high ethical standards. However as with a barrel of apples there are some bad ones that go to untold lengths to hog the political spotlight so that they achieve name recognition as movers and shakers.

There are certain times when those in political power decide to run for the highest office in the land, the Presidency of the United States, while other times it is thrust upon them. We are told not to judge a book by its cover, but once achieving the office of the Presidency, they become an open book exposed for all to see. Not everyone makes a good president and each must learn to adjust or do the best they know how or leave office for the good of themselves and for the nation.

The Constitution was written and adopted at a time when there was no “norm” as the American way of life was just beginning. Trying to foresee every eventuality was an impossible task. Electing a president had never been done before and a system of voting included the use of an Electoral College where surrogates chose the president.

Another process was what to do to remove a president? This brought up the impeachment process for elected officials, and specifically the president could be removed for high crimes and misdemeanors, but what are they exactly? Over time the Speaker of the House (Gerald Ford) said “High Crimes and Misdemeanors is whatever the House says it is at a particular time in history”). Well low and behold it came about that the Speaker of the House Gerald Ford became our 38^th President.

This brings up a question, what happens when a member of the so-called “Swamp” moves into the White House? Keep in mind most have spent a considerable amount of their adulthood as a member of Congress of 4 – 8 years or longer. It’s like someone working in a fast food restaurant who suddenly gets elevated to shift leader or store manager. They are no longer known as “buddy”. How do they adjust?

We’ve a number of presidents in recent years that have come from either the House or the Senate and now they’re the “most important man in the world” (in their eyes, and the eyes of many). How exactly does one shake off the swamp mud?

Lyndon Baines Johnson was thrust into the presidency with the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and he launched the nation fully into the war in Vietnam and refused to run for reelection. Both Kennedy and Johnson were WWII naval officers and both were members of Congress who elevate into the White House. Jimmy Carter also a WWII naval officer and combat veteran was also a member of Congress who rose to the highest office.

Barack Obama was one of those who used the power of the pen to exert his “presidential power”. He became impatient with Congress acting too slowly or not at all (remember he spent 8 years in the US Senate) and created DACA (Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals) when Congress couldn’t seem to get the job done.  The fact that it was unconstitutionally enacted made no matter to Obama and Congress said and did nothing!

It seems that once a politician gets immersed into the swamp through the Congress it’s pretty near impossible to get away clean. Most simply go from Congress to a cushy political job in their home state. Hillary Clinton was one who had been in the White House as the First Lady, then elected into the US Senate with aspirations of going back into the White House as the first female President, so much so that the means of her election campaign justified the end. Yet what put a stop to her dream job was a non-politician whom she knew very well and had solicited for campaign contributions in past campaigns. I’m talking about Donald Trump. He came out of the shadows, stole the limelight and ultimately won the presidency. That dream job turned into a political nightmare for Hillary and her supporters who have yet to recover. It stands to reason that if you bathe in a mud puddle, then tromp throughout the house you’ll leave a trail that a blind man can follow.

As the 2020 Presidential Election is just around the corner, a lot of the swamp rats are scrambling for exposure in hopes of keeping the swamp alive and well in the foreseeable future. The only way out is to drain the swamp and having a viable plan to clean up all the muddy tracks and remove all traces that the swamp ever existed. Seeing the resistance coming from the congressional leftists I’d say that President Trump is well on the way to getting the swamp drained – One rat at a time! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Here’s Your Sign

I’m amazed at how quickly we forget. Somebody goes crazy with a gun and immediately there are parrots shouting “Gun Control” at the top of their lungs. I guess if they say it long enough and loud enough the threat of political pressure causes corporations who thrive on political financing will cower down just to appease those yelling the loudest.

Recently we’ve had active shooter situations in schools, shopping centers and events and many situations were stopped by someone open carrying or with a concealed carry permit. Think about that for a moment, an active shooter was stopped by an actively armed citizen because law enforcement had not arrived on the scene and people were in harm’s way.

Contrast that with literally hundreds if not thousands of people killed in cities around the globe. Major urban areas in Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle and other places that are so called safe havens for criminals because of strict gun control laws and are under the control of democrats in government.

The Bill of Rights protects every US citizen’s rights to free speech and self-defense (own and bear arms) against intruders (including an out of control government). American’s have fought and died to protect those and other rights listed in the US Constitution. In the days of the wild, Wild West outlaws with guns robbed and killed at will and during the depression of the 1930s bad guys with guns repeated the process until stopped by good guys with guns. Declaring a city, place or area a “gun free zone” is like hanging up a huge sign, “Take what you want because we won’t allow anyone to stop you”.

How soon we forget that evil succeeds when good people do nothing! Now is not the time for standing idly by and watching bad guys with guns to run amok.

Gun control is not gun control if you cannot control criminals with guns.

Assault weapons used to assault others must be dealt with by stopping the assaulter and a gun is just a gun until the trigger is pulled! – I am the Real Truckmaster!
