Rasta Man Down

 

It was 12:34 pm on 23 July 2020 when shots rang out near Wright and Bremen in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee. The unlikeliest murder victim was 60 year old Bernell Trammell was easily recognizable with his dreads and his homemade Trump 2020 signs, just another of the “dregs” in society who was not afraid to talk politics or religion to those willing to listen. According to one friend, “He never tried to convert you or change you. He would tell you what he thought, listen to what you had to think and he would respect that.”

 

Bernell ran eXpressions Journal, was a Trump supporter and a Rasta street preacher as described in this article https://pmnightlynews.com/bernell-trammell-black-trump-supporter-killed-in-milwaukee/?fbclid=IwAR0ZJKS-VAFLvRC-rQ43hGMVNaY-DivB2A8J4obXg1zDlASkoNKDDLXLf5Y.

 

Amidst the violence on news broadcasts everywhere there were no local or nationwide protests against gun violence. There were no peaceful marches, not even a riot in his memory.

 

Outrage over the senseless murder of Bernell Trammell in broad daylight was voiced by Wisconsin GOP “No American should fear for their personal safety because of where they live or their political affiliation.” WISGOP called for the state’s district attorney and the US Attorney to open an investigation as the shooting may be politically motivated. https://www.oann.com/black-trump-supporter-fatally-shot-in-wis/

 

When will we stand up for what is right and stop the senseless slaughter of the innocent? It’s sad that Bernell Trammell’s name was added to a long list of victims of violent crime in America and we mouth the words “Black Lives Matter”……as we add another! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

When Trump Divided America

When Trump Divided America

 

You should know by now where my loyalties lay. I’ve written many a blog supporting President Trump and criticizing Congressional Democrats and Republicans and their media lackey’s for what they have done or more importantly what they failed to do when they had the opportunity to do good for our country.

 

To put things into perspective I am a conservative and for a very long time a disillusioned Republican long before the Tea Party. I voted Republican primarily because I saw nothing in either party that stirred my soul or sparked my interest since Ronald Reagan.

 

I voted for GHW Bush and although I didn’t agree with everything he said or did he was the lessor of two evils running for the presidency at the time. Being active duty I had little time to think about who to vote for or what platform they stood on. I was finishing up a career in the army when Desert Shield and then Desert Storm began. I anticipated being called back to active duty, but the war was over so quickly. Shock and Awe!

 

WJ “Bill” Clinton was a slap in the face and initially I couldn’t see how God could allow him to win the election. I learned to trust God and saw that Americans wanted what they wanted and in my opinion God let them have their way. How could a draft dodger rise to a state attorney general, become governor and then into the White House? The attack at Oklahoma City happened and what was the presidential response? You tell me? WJ Clinton was a good old boy, loved to talk and had a way with words and women. Remember Paula Jones and the intern? It is how God works, patiently and to achieve HIS purpose.

 

When GW Bush won the presidency I knew nothing much about him. People falsely called him a draft dodger because of his service as a pilot in the Air National Guard. They were wrong. Soon after taking office this president was tested like no other president since FDR. The infamous 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and possibly the White House changed life as we knew it in America. The War on Terror began with Bush saying, “either you are with us or against us” as we plunged headlong into the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The media began their routine of blaming Bush.

 

It set the stage for a Democratic victory in the 2008 election and just as Senator Hillary Clinton was to begin celebrations at the DNC convention, she was upstaged by newcomer Senator Barack Obama who took the nomination out from under her, and then the presidency over Republican Senator John McCain. Before she had time to pout Obama used the tactic of bribery by nominating her as his Secretary of State. She had no choice but to tout the party line, his party line until things got a bit out of hand and we had the 9/11 Benghazi debacle among other things. By 2015 it was once again Hillary’s turn and she had it all sewn up to take the nomination and then the presidency.

 

Enter political newcomer Donald Trump, who overpowered the entire Republican lineup and then the presidency taking the spotlight off Hillary just as she was set to celebrate (see a pattern here)? What happened next has never been seen before in American politics. It started after the election and as Democratic legislators boycotted the inauguration of the 44th President and merely 19 minutes after the inauguration the announcement by the media that the Impeachment process had begun.

 

Read this article posted on Facebook and think about her questions which haven’t covered the events of 2020. Here is the link https://www.facebook.com/RealTrumpNation/posts/2339785952819202 and I give credit where credit is due to Deena Loveland who posted her writing on Trump Nation’s FB page.

 

It raises some really good questions which I may include some of them in this article, but I have questions of my own which I have been asking for the past 4 years.

 

When did Trump divide the nation? Was it when he said he was going to drain the swamp?

Maybe it was when he said he was going to build the wall?

Or it could have been calling out corrupt politicians as “do nothing” Democrats?

 

Of all the events of the past 4 years it is those of the past 7 months that are most troubling. Democratic controlled cities and states have been run into the ground by successively failed leadership. California, Oregon and Washington states have home grown domestic terrorists taking political advantage of protests, thereby turning them into full-fledged war zones. Seattle’s Black Lives Matters and autonomous zones called CHAZ or CHOP; Portland’s Antifa gangs who rallied in a heartbeat to Minneapolis to stoke the fires of racial division and chaos.

 

The inaction of failed political leadership has created unsafe living conditions for thousands of residents of cities across the nation springing up out of the unrestrained political chaos. All while Americans are restricted in their own homes while mayors and governors send LEOs to root out those who refuse to wear facemasks, while letting the rioting mobs roam freely. Cities like NYC have a catch and a no bond release in effect. Before the paperwork is completed lawbreakers are back on the streets committing more crimes against the unsuspecting public.

 

Political power has further corrupted the most corrupt legislators in the nation as they jockey for political position in their quest to replace President Trump in 100 days.

 

So tell me again when was it EXACTLY when Trump divided America? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Combating Racism

Combating Racism

 

From the time we are born life is nothing but choices – where we live, who our friends are, what school we attend, which house of worship to join, what job we get and what we believe? Americans have been making those hard choices for more than 240 years. Freedom isn’t free but paid with the blood, sweat and tears of everyone who fought to keep freedom alive.

 

Slavery has been alive since early biblical times for various reasons and specific purposes. There are indentured servants, hired or bonded workers and slaves purchased as property and slavery leads to racism when someone feels others are beneath them socially or educationally. The foundation of this nation was built on slavery yet hatred fosters racism which continues today as one person chooses to manipulate another because of race or tribal ethnicity. We see racism as a cancer to the state of mental dysfunction. It leads to social unrest and organized mistrust and mistreatment of others for personal or political gain.

 

There was a flare-up of racism that caused the Civil War between northern and southern states. After the war men and women began to stoke the fires of racism with groups like the Klu Klux Clan and others where threats and intimidation led to outright murder because of the color of someone’s skin or their ethnic heritage.

 

This fire was stoked again during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s and moved into the Congress of the United States with an alliance of black legislators leading to the creation of what is now the Congressional Black Caucus.

 

Active flair-ups once again occurred during the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s & 70s.

 

The latest fire was actively stoked when Democratic legislators, extreme leftists and the media refused to accept the results of the 2016 election.

 

Their efforts went into overdrive when actively resisting the Trump presidency. It has been called Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and can be seen every time a member of Congress or the media begin to rant and rave about what the President does, says or tweets.

 

From the fashionable kneeling of Colin Kapearnick to the Black Lives Matter movement sweeping across the nation it has crept into sports, movies and over the airwaves and television and cable networks that people feel the need to pick up the chant or become swept away.

 

The fires of racism must be actively stoked so that it becomes a feeding frenzy continually in the public eye. It is a choice whether to buy into it or let it pass. Talking about it constructively between two differing points of view will only work when both sides agree to listen. Calling names, intimidating people or harassing someone in order to change their point of view is pointless.

 

Kneeling before any sporting event is most effective when done in a timely, respectful manner. Disrespecting the National Anthem, the US Flag, the President, his administration officials or his supporters only shows the caliber of individual and ethics of the one being disrespectful.

 

The tide is turning across the nation. Slavery should be a thing of the past, but until we join forces and fight slavery we are wasting our time and efforts on each other. Racism can only be eliminated by people who are focused on helping each other without expecting anything in return.

 

Americans can lift each other up by supporting their worthy causes, but not by acts of violence or rioting that hurt others in the process. If one truly believed that Black Lives Matter there would be neighborhood watch groups patrolling every street, neighborhood and city in America putting a stop to the black-on-black violence. It must start in the home. We must teach our children to respect themselves, others and the laws of this nation. It must start with you and I together we will succeed. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Fantasy of Politically Correct Sports

The Fantasy of Politically Correct Sports

 

I’m not a season ticket holding, die-hard sports fan but to be fair I think everything needs to change starting at the top. Since these the 32 teams in the National Football League that has recently capitulated their National standing by allowing players to wear never before allowed patches and kneeling during the National  Anthem which is offensive to Americans nationwide. They should be called or nationally rated, but simply known as the Football League, no longer needed are the colors of the red, white and blue, but just white and black since everything not revolves around those colors (which are really colors at all, now are they)?

 

 

Football League

 

Today the franchise announced that the Washington Redskins will officially be called Washington Football Team and I think it’s great. In fact let us help spread the wealth to all 32 football teams and even to baseball, volleyball and basketball teams.

 

 

 

Washington Football Team

 

Don’t forget we started naming teams in elementary, middle and high schools. When the PC dysfunction comes a knocking be prepared to dispense with all the birds, animals and pirate stuff and call them as they should be:

 

 

 

 

Arizona Football Team

 

Atlanta Football Team

 

Carolina Football Team

 

Chicago Football Team

 

Dallas Football Team

 

Detroit Football Team

 

Green Bay Football Team

 

Los Angeles Football Team 1

 

Minnesota Football Team

 

New Orleans Football Team

 

New York Football Team 1

 

Philadelphia Football Team

 

San Francisco Football Team 1

 

Seattle Football Team

 

Tampa Bay Football Team

Buffalo Football Team

 

Cincinnati Football Team

 

Cleveland Football Team

Las Vegas Football Team

 

Los Angeles Football Team 2

 

Miami Football Team

 

New England Football Team

 

New York Football Team 2

 

Pittsburgh Football Team

 

Tennessee Football Team

 

 

Don’t worry about all the NFL stuff you spent a fortune on because you only need to blacken out the logo so you can keep the same colors. Isn’t this going to be fun? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Is Black Lives Matter Really Legit?

106598844_4072895126085928_7464177493005741043_n4

7-23-2020

 

Is Black Lives Matter Really Legit?

 

Just a quick note – Last night (7-22-2020) I saw the interview on Shannon Breen’s show on Fox. She interviewed the founder of Black Lives Matter Utah (can’t remember her name) and Senator Lee (R). They were discussing the bill Senator Tim Scott (R) attempted to get voted on but it was blocked by Senate Dems. The interview focused on law enforcement reforms that are perceived as needed nationwide and repeatedly the BLM lady kept saying she was hopeful that after 6 years now people are having the hard talks on racism. She urged Congress to pass a reform bill and urged Republicans to come to the table. This all sounded reasonable and positive. However one thing sorely missing in this interview was a representation from Senate Democrats? Why were there not folks from both sides of the isle? So why was her plea only to Republicans?

 

Another “elephant in the room” that was not discussed was how the nationwide rioting and vandalism in the name of BLM was not condemned or even mentioned by anyone on the program?

 

I’m no Einstein but how can you truly have police reform without addressing the punitive side of lawbreaking (vandals, rioters, looters and murderers)? We have state and federal laws that are selectively enforced or ignored by citizens and elected officials alike. Why not address the other side of the coin?

 

If we are to take Black Lives Matter serious their method of means justify the ends doesn’t hold water. When you profess to seek change to the system it is not through demands, but with reformative change recommendations. You have a list of grievances and a list of recommendations to be discussed by both sides. If one side or the other has a hidden agenda and/or refuses to participate in open discussions there can be no negotiation.

 

You most certainly do not employ or allow any other entity to hijack your agenda with unlawful conduct and expect to be seen as separate from it. When it happens you must come out strongly and forcefully against the lawless behavior and actions being committed in your name or you own it.

 

This is just my opinion but BLM should rethink their banner and their image. A black in your face fist is not a sign of respect but one of defiance. Had my kids or grandkids come to me with a raised fist, they would have lost the fight without every saying a word and left with a sore hinny.

 

In my 70 years I have always see myself as who I really am. A man with a family to support and now with grandkids and great-grandkids I am proud of. I have taught them to love God, our family and honor our country with its symbols, customs and traditions. Treat everyone with respect and how you want to be treated. As a multi-cultural family I want them to know and understand their heritage and where our family came from.

 

If you want to be seen and treated equally as a man or woman you must come as an equal; act as an equal and see yourself as an equal. When you see yourself as a victim or as a hyphenated American you are placing yourself at a disadvantage from the start.

 

Do we need police reform? Yes – most definitely, but true reform comes by honoring and obeying the Rule of Law which in the United States is the Constitution. Willful violation of the law is criminal and subject to arrest and prosecution, as it should. Willful misconduct by law enforcement is equally criminal. It must be dealt with swiftly and fairly under the law, not tolerated, hidden or swept under the proverbial rug.

 

Lastly, do Black Lives Matter – of course they do. All lives matter. Baby lives matter. We are one people united in purpose to see that every life is treated equally and fairly under the law as stated in the Constitution of the United States. I am the Real Truckmaster!

Cause and Effect of the Coronavirus in America

90043698_2554455638155202_6060087198391205888_n

Cause and Effect of the Coronavirus in America

 

Do you remember when we first learned about the dreaded Wuhan-Virus a number of things began to take place?

 

  • First was a worldwide shortage of toilet paper, paper towels and hand sanitizer and other cleaning supplies
  • Next there was a worldwide supply shortage causing farmers, ranchers and processing plants to become unable to meet the demand from eggs, milk, pork, beef and who knows what else
  • Farmers and ranchers were told to slaughter their livestock, dump their milk and eggs onto the ground as it was too costly
  • We were told that worldwide hospital ERs were being overwhelmed and portable hospitals began to be deployed to places like Seattle, Chicago, New York City and other places across the nation
  • We were told there were non-existent or insufficient stocks of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in hospitals across the nation
  • We were then told that no ventilators could be found and they were critical for life-saving treatment
  • We were told there was no vaccine or medicine to treat this COVID-19
  • We were told that if you became infected it was fatal
  • Then came the lockdowns, stay safe at home to flatten the curve
  • No going outside, no visitations in hospitals, nursing homes and care centers
  • No church gatherings, services and no funerals
  • Self-Isolate and wear a mask, hospital gloves and gowns
  • Businesses were considered essential (liquor stores, pot shops, big box stores & home supply stores) could open with limitations
  • Businesses considered non-essential (hair and nail salons, massage parlors, churches, mom & pop stores, exercise centers, swimming pools, beaches, hiking trails and national parks) were closed
  • Hydroxychloroquine and Z-Pak were the miracle drug that reversed the effects of the virus almost immediately or within 24 hours
  • Once it was announced that President Trump was taking the HCQ + Z it suddenly became an ineffective and lethal medication
  • President Trump’s political rallies would endanger hundreds of people who don’t wear masks and don’t do social distancing
  • Public gatherings could not exceed 100 persons provided they wore facemasks and social distanced 6 feet apart, protests and riots were exempt from these mandates
  • The latest is a nationwide coin shortage, stores are not receiving their coin shipments, banks do not have adequate supplies of coins and shoppers are being urged to roundup to help the needy or use plastic
  • The CDC has been collecting data on COVID-19 infections, deaths and hopefully recovery, but somehow the data became contaminated or grossly mislabeled and is considered useless

 

Is it me or does anybody else see a pattern here? Because this is an election year and we are now just over 100 days until the November 3, 2020 presidential election we are hearing politicians in full panic mode as they have no idea how to react.

 

For the past 2 months we have been seeing protest marches, violent rioting, burning, looting and killings in cities across the nation that resemble third world countries. What have we heard from members of congress, state and local officials? Trump is to blame. There is no accountability for the actions of the violent few. Law Enforcement has been hog-tied by their political bosses as evil reigns in city after city.

 

I don’t care if you’re a democrat, republican, independent or a speckled ostrich if you do not recognize what has been happening all around this country you are part of the problem. Maybe you are the problem because it was you a registered voter who either voted blue or not at all in past mid-term and presidential elections yet is everyone else to blame?

 

This country is in the midst of a very uncivil war with one side street fighting, no rules and no holds barred while the other side sticks their heads in the sand hoping it will just go away. Which side are you on?

 

This land is our land. This country is our country. Red, White or Blue – We are America. It is time to drive the domestic terrorists from our midst. They seek to divide and destroy. We seek to unite. There can be no coexisting with those determined to pull us asunder. Either we stop them or it will get much worse.

 

If you’re a praying person who believes in the power of prayer and that God is fully in control, now is the time to humble yourself and pray for God’s grace and his guidance during these troubling times. Pray over our nation, our leaders and pray for our enemies. Let God be God now and every day. – Amen! I am the Real Truckmaster!

Dealing Effectively with Vandalism and the Homeless

Where In The World is Jared Polis

7-18-2020

 

Dealing Effectively with Vandalism and the Homeless

 

This piece is probably one of the hardest I’ve had to write. I recently watched a video showing the vandalism of the state capitol building in Denver, plus the homeless encampments on the streets and city parks nearby.

 

Watch it here:

https://vimeo.com/438364105?fbclid=IwAR0kR59rSCirEL7O8wDT4c9dsYns8j300yznPzYOraNZWJI09tUM5yN7j2w

 

It was moving, motivating and heartbreaking. My biggest questions are why?

 

Why were vandals allowed to target the state capitol and why was it not stopped in its tracks? It’s obvious that windows were broken and graffiti spray painted as high up as vandals could reach. Other nearby buildings had been targeted as well. The grounds around the capital resembled barren wasteland with no grass visible.  There were no state caretakers or groundskeepers. It was embarrassing and heartbreaking.

 

The video continued showing “tent cities” communities of homeless everywhere doing nothing or helping nobody. Where was the mayor of Denver? Where were Colorado’s state parks and recreation? Where were concerned citizens? Where is local, state and federal law enforcement? Does closing your eyes or turning your head the other way make this all go away? No it does not!

 

Identifying, locating, apprehending and processing vandals, looters, rioters and criminals must become a top priority to bring law and order back to the streets of Denver and Colorado.

 

I must admit that I don’t live in Denver and rarely go there unless I have a specific purpose. For more than 30 years I haven’t been deep in downtown Denver or around the capitol building. Now I would never go or recommend anyone to go anywhere near that place. It’s a shame and a disgrace.

 

What happened when Hickenlooper was governor? What has Polis done since becoming governor about it? Has there been any high level meeting between principal politicians, business leaders and community members to discuss the impact this has on Colorado or the effect on tourism?

 

Can the governor mandate it through executive action? No it takes real hard working Americans to make a difference. Why hasn’t somebody assembled resources needed to put things back in order? Why have these homeless camps been allowed? This is not San Francisco or Los Angeles, but this is another Democratic run state and Denver is a Democratic run city.

 

The homeless should be rounded up and told to move on, or put to work for an hourly wage with specific goals to remove graffiti, repair broken or vandalized property, and re-plant grass under the supervision of Parks and Recreation.

 

There must be an endgame where the homeless are given meaningful employment in exchange for a decent pay, a path to a place to live. Not on the city streets or in parks or abandoned lots. They should receive medical care and properly prepared meals while they are working. They should receive assistance in getting a job after homelessness. We have many state and federal programs available to rehabilitate those willing to be rehabilitated. Canvassing the homeless can uncover felons and troublemakers. Those who are illegally in this country can be identified, apprehended and prepared for deportation back to their home countries. Those who refuse or are unwilling to work will find a way to leave.

 

Elected officials are charged with upholding public safety, maintaining law and order and keeping their districts, cities and counties clean and safe. Those who fail in those duties must be held personally, punitively and financially accountable. They must strive to maintain public trust. I don’t have all the answers, in fact I don’t even have the questions. I am the Real Truckmaster!

An Open Letter to Colorado Governor Jared Polis

Jared Polis wearing a facemask

7-18-2020

 

An Open Letter to Colorado Governor Jared Polis

 

Governor Polis,

I see what is happening to America and specifically to Colorado during the COVID-19 pandemic. I understand and share your concern over the increase in case numbers we are seeing being reported.  I do not have an undergraduate degree nor am I a professional in the medical field. However I disagree strongly with your assessment and decision that Colorado needs to be mandated to wear masks or face coverings indoors or in many cases outdoors.

 

I take the medical advice of doctors, nurses and medical professionals very seriously. Prominent professionals have said that the prolonged wearing of masks may become fatal for those with certain medical issues and the wearing of dirty masks may even cause viral infections that can kill. Recently these same doctors are saying that mandating masks this late in the pandemic is not wise. It should have been done from the beginning, not 4 or 5 months down the road. I tend to agree with them.

 

Masks and face coverings that are not professional high-grade specifically made for viral infections do not stop the virus, nor do they protect others from getting it. The commonly available cloth or paper masks we see in stores or online are useless to stop the spread. The only useful purpose of these types of masks is to prevent someone who is sneezing or coughing to freely pass germs to others. These masks should be cleaned regularly with soap and water or replaced frequently. Wearing a facemask while driving is dangerous as some drivers may pass out for lack of oxygen.

 

Recently you called “Selfish Bastards” those refusing to adhere to your mandates. You sir are wrong! What Colorado needs, you cannot mandate through executive orders out of the Governor’s office – Common Sense!

 

It is common sense to stay home unless you decide to go somewhere for necessity or pleasure.

It is common sense to social distance around strangers.

It is common sense to stay connected with family and friends.

It is common sense to visit the sick and dying in hospitals and nursing homes.

It is common sense to treat others the way you want to be treated.

 

Governor you have led Colorado down the path of closure by declaring who or what is essential or non-essential and that sir is not yours to determine. Every person is essential and every business began because it was essential for its particular purpose or product. Those deemed non-essential failed by their own merit or lack of it.

 

I urge you to stop following the pack and lead Colorado into a new era of prosperity by opening up the state WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS. Let us get back to the life of liberty and chasing after the American dream.

 

I am 70 years old and have spent more than 30 years in Colorado working, raising my family and urging others to come to Colorful Colorado until now. I have a bachelor degree in computer science and a certificate of life-long learning at the school of hard knocks. I am a retired military professional who has lived around the world. What I have seen and experienced tells me that we as Coloradoans and Americans deserve better than this. Open Up Colorado – Do It Now! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Beyond the Unthinkable

Beyond the Unthinkable

 

Have you ever talked back to your mom? Sassed your dad? How did that work for you?

Have you ever gone to your boss at work and demanded……anything? What about while working at a job you really like you refuse service to a customer wearing a uniform and a badge? What about working in food service or fast food and did something unspeakable to the food of a customer who was you didn’t like? Or worse yet, pulled out a gun and shot someone because they disrespected you in front of your friends? Maybe you speak out for “women’s rights” to take the life of a baby in the womb? How much sense does any of this make?

 

I find no pleasure in watching the news broadcast the lawlessness being played out every newscast on every station day after day. Someone recently told me it was a bad time to be living in times such as these. I disagree because it’s a great time to see history unfolding all around us. It’s an even greater time watching biblical prophecy unfold and to be a follower of Jesus Christ telling others the good news “Jesus Loves Them”.

 

2 Timothy 3:1-4

1“But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, 4 traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!”

 

I don’t claim to understand what is going on or who is behind the scenes pulling the strings but rest assured that Almighty God is fully in control. The good, the bad and the ugly he will use to fulfill his purpose and bring glory and honor to him.

 

All of these street thugs acting out every fantasy they can imagine. Tearing down statues, defacing property while they destroy, loot, and burn to their hearts content will never be satisfied. The sad part is that they need Jesus just as much as we each do. They don’t know it and won’t unless someone tells them. Will that someone be you?

 

Romans 10:8-17

8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.

 

11 It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” 16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” 17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

 

The election of a president has never had a reaction such as we see today which is not about Donald J. Trump. It is about evil continuing to rebel against truth and right. I won’t call it a battle between good vs evil because there is no power on earth that does not answer to Almighty God.

 

I must ask whose side are you on; who’s your daddy; who’s water are you carrying? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Like Ravenous Wolves

 

Acts 13:44-45

On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying.

 

As I was reading this morning’s devotional I thought about Congressional Democrats and the way they have chosen to respond to the presidency of Donald Trump. It was like history repeating itself. I guess that happens when one doesn’t learn from it or maybe it’s when someone becomes extremely jealous of the popularity and fame of another.

 

Webster’s Dictionary defines jealous as: “envious; fearful of competition; and protective.”

 

It seems to me that the entire body of Congress has tried to distance themselves from newly elected President Trump because they feared he was a flash-in-the-pan entertainer who wasn’t a politician and would fail as president. His popularity with Middle American “Deplorables” brought out the worst of the Democratic Party and exposed the RINO’s of the Republican Party for what they truly are – wolves in sheep’s clothing.

 

The 2016 campaign season introduced Presidential Candidate Donald Trump to the nation at large. His entertainment style campaign rallies energized an often forgotten and overlooked part of the nation. That should have been expected as Trump is quite the entertainer. Yet nobody took him serious as a politician.

 

When President Trump entered the world stage he was treated with respect by world leaders, while at home American politicians were still trying to adjust to the election as they instantly began plotting on how to take down this president.

 

Like ravenous wolves they have tried every trick in the book from leaking dirty little secrets, exposing past prejudices and worldly behavior to more serious manufacturing lies, falsehoods and even threats against the Trump family and against his very life. Everything that would sink a political head-of-state or a lifelong politician, yet try as they might everything has failed. Not for the lack of trying, but because they refuse to acknowledge who is in control.

 

From the onset of his administration President Trump has held up the Constitution as the rule of law. He has continually reminded Congress that their constitutional responsibilities take precedence over personal preferences or petty differences. Over the past 4 years I have watched as Congressional Republicans and even Democrats have begun warming up to Trump’s leadership style and begun pushing much of his agenda.

 

However Congressional Democrats have stubbornly clung to the belief that they and they alone are solely competent to govern without the advice or consent of the people or the president. When challenged to reform immigration, beginning with DACA they stubbornly refused. When challenged to protect our borders they pushed for open borders instead. When challenged to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a more effective and affordable alternate they simply ignored and would not budge.

 

As President Trump reached out establishing a dialog between world leaders Congressional Democrats sought to undermine him with public statements fabricated with lies and falsehoods. I have listened and read statements that twist and turn every word out of the president’s mouth or his tweets.

 

I say to myself that had Congress as a whole set out to support this President as he pushed for regulation and reform in government how much better our nation would be as a whole, yet the rebellion continues.

 

In my opinion it is simple jealousy of a man so popular with mainstream Americans who flock to his rallies by the thousands. Each one sold out to overflowing crowds. So much is the jealousy of Congressional Democrats that many sought to oppose him in the presidential race, but ended up back in Congress pushing their own agendas.

 

The first portions of Webster’s Dictionary definition of “envious; fearful of competition” fit Congressional Democrats perfectly as they want the popularity and favor of the American people but have yet to realize that it comes willingly from the hearts and minds of people who are proudly referred to as “Americans”.

 

The Democratic way has been rooted in threats and intimidation to conform or else. Those who dare to think outside the Democratic way are simply wrong and not fit to think differently. Those who walk away from the party of the people (party of doing to the people) are publicly chastised and shamed for their disloyalty.

 

Loyalty and respect go both ways and voters are seeing that Trump rallies are fun and vibrant with a man who loves this country and is not afraid to say so. He respectfully calls you friends and fellow Americans while poking fun at those pesky “do nothing Democrats” in Congress demand compliance and only want your vote.

 

Like him or hate him – with Trump there is no middle ground. What you see is what you get! – I am the Real Truckmaster!
