Fair Weather Friends and Hot Button Politics

Can you think of a more toxic combination than mixing friends and politics? Yesterday I was loaded for bear so to speak. After reading some nauseating remarks by a couple of well-known politicians I had the perfect article and began to write and got so wound up in the story line. I heard a knock on the door and my granddaughter was here with my great-grandbabies.

My focus immediately changed into small child protection mode for a 3 year old and a 1 year old. We have steps, lots of breakables, but what got their attention was focusing on a bowl of cut up watermelon. We then moved to the TV room where I had previously recorded Toy Story 1, 2 & 3. I don’t remember when I watched Woody and Buzz Lightyear and gang get in and out of so much trouble, but I suspect my granddaughter was a bit younger back then. After 1 & 2 it was time to go home and she packed up all their stuff and carried the 1 year old, followed by papa with the 3 year old, out to the car. Getting them strapped in was more of a chore than I remember, but soon they were waving and yelling out the window, “Bye papa, love you!” But you know something? I lost my focus on what I was writing and scrapped the entire article before going to bed.

I caught a headline off of twitter today and Laura Ingraham wrote about the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Her headline was along the lines of Republicans argue the law, while Democrats argue emotion and she’s absolutely right. As for the immigration laws, they have worked quite well for the life of our nation. They’re not perfect, but they have been modified a number of times and could still use a tweak or two.

The mass hysteria over family separation is just hype, playing on emotions and feeding on fear. It is a tactic the Democrats and liberals have mastered using to demonize the opposition and channel through fear the masses to jump on board their Titanic-style agenda. What is so tragic is the very people who have the power and authority of the Constitution are unwilling, not unable, to sit down and write effective legislation that the president will sign. Isn’t that what we sent them to Congress to do, protect the American people?

I’m not talking about Republicans or Democrats; I’m talking about American’s; Legislators in Congress with the power to change the current immigration law, simply refusing to do so. They would rather blame the current administration for doing their job, while taking no responsibility for not performing the constitutionally mandated job of Congress – to write law.

I’ve listened, watched and read accounts of a number of legislators who raise crowds of people in order to motivate them into action and raise awareness issues by using false narratives and fake talking points, but have not even attempted to do the job they were elected to do.

The president tweeted and the vice president spoke about immigrants wanting to come to the United States. They will be welcomed with open arms but they must follow the law and established procedures, otherwise they are not to come at all.

The president has also tweeted that immigrants caught up in unlawful entry should be returned with their family to the place they came into the U.S. from. This is the only way to stop family separation at the border, don’t try it.

Those politicians, who cry, “Stop Family Separation Now” or “Abolish ICE” and cry for public harassment of cabinet officials and their families, refuse to consider the law in any of this. Not do they consider the consequences of their actions when they encourage and call for mass civil disobedience in front of a police station or and working law enforcement agency such as ICE. Those who ignore orders to disburse or fail to leave can and will be apprehended, finger printed, photos taken and charged with violating lawful orders to leave. Those who are illegal immigrants or those with outstanding warrants will be arrested and/or processed for deportation. The law is clear anyone who gains unlawful entry into the U.S. will be apprehended, prosecuted and sentenced to begin the deportation process.

Why is no one asking why families travel for thousands of miles, walking past U.S. Embassy’s and Consulate where they could apply for asylum or begin the immigration visa process? It’s not because they are fearful for their lives and the lives of their families, it’s because someone organized and put these “caravans” into action for a reason.

It’s time to put all the partisan politics aside and tackle the real issue of “Hot Button Politics” which simply clouds the issue of immigration. What is presented on Facebook, Twitter and through the Main Stream Media are simply stage props for an Immigration Reality show.

Hot Button politicians are indeed similar as Fair Weather Friends are seldom seen and heard until the going gets tough, then the tough get going. I have some fair weather friends who cheer me on when what I’m saying agrees with them, but are silent when I’m being attacked by the opposition.

Politicians are seldom seen or heard unless there’s a good chance of a photo opportunity. I’ve been questioned on why I (and other conservatives) come down hard on Democrats? We’re always negative toward them? For me the answer is easy, liberals (Democrat or Republican) put a negative spin on positive news events. They come up with some of the craziest ideas and go around finding a receptive audience. Too often they are the biggest hypocrites of all, calling other politicians liars and far worse while cringing if someone says the same thing about them.

When will this bickering stop? When will we once again see ourselves as Americans, nothing more, or nothing less and from what I’m beginning to see of the Congress of the United States are roughly 535 members of congress and 241 Congressional Caucuses, formed for various causes, racial and religious mixtures and I wonder, how can we expect Congress to think and act like one legislative body when no two legislators can agree on much of anything, with one exception – President Donald J. Trump.

Like him or hate him, one thing is clear – President Trump is a man on a mission. His stated purpose is to put “America First”, and those two words have solidified him for the American people, and alienated him from the Congressional Swamp in Washington.

What is certain is this, where the governmental leaders go, so goes the nation; where the nation goes, so goes the family; where the family goes, so goes our freedom. A nation divided against itself cannot stand. We are a nation that comes together during times of national or world calamity and we do our best work under pressure. We are not billions of people, we are Americans, “One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all“.

Stop being a disgrace; Be a blessing. Help us help each other. If we are not the solution, we are the problem. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The initial list was sent from by friend, so I decided to create a sort of senior dictionary and to add to it.

Mergatroyd!… remember that word? Would you believe the email spell checker did not recognize the word Mergatroyd? Heavens to Mergatroyd!
The other day a not so elderly (65) year old lady said something to her grandson about driving a Jalopy. He looked at her quizzically and said “What is a Jalopy?”
OMG (Oh My Goodness)! He never heard of the word jalopy!!
I hope you are Hunky Dory after you read this and chuckle.
Did you remember singing along to the Flying Purple People Eater?

Here are some old expressions that have become obsolete:

“Don’t touch that dial,”
“Carbon copy,”
“You sound like a broken record” and
“Hung out to dry.”
Heavens to Betsy!

Slow pokes,
That “Teflon” can’t stick,
Grind me off a pound of those gears.

We discover words we grew with, words that seemed omnipresent, as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our keyboards. Gone is:

We of a certain age have been blessed to live in changeable times. For a child each new word is like a shiny toy, a toy that has no age. We at the other end of the chronological arc have the advantage of remembering there are words that once did not exist and there were words that once strutted their hour upon the earthly stage and now are heard no more, except in our collective memory. It’s one of the greatest advantages of aging.

Kissinger Assessment of Trump

HenryKissinger_c0-341-4960-3232_s885x516

6-29-2018

Dr. Henry Kissinger’s Assessment of Donald Trump

I did a check on Snopes.com and they reported this story as false, I guess the fake news folks at Snopes must have somehow missed this commentary by Dick Morris on February 9, 2018 that is now on Western Journal.

https://www.westernjournal.com/kissinger-trumps-foreign-policy-style-remarkable-new-people-need-open-eyes/

I’m going to insert my thoughts into this commentary which I fully agree with Mr. Morris. For those who have been following my Realtruckmaster.blog articles you know how I feel about President Trump and the constant character attacks from the liberal left. Those attacks have progressed into full on assaults on Trump Administration Cabinet Members, Trump supporters and our children who have taken a stand to honor Donald Trump.

I’ve watched as former Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger traveled around the world representing the President of the United States putting boots on the ground for the U.S. Foreign Policy. So it should come as no big surprise as the 94 year old Kissinger, a longtime friend would give us a bit of advice when it comes to President Donald Trump and his foreign policy.

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger gives us a new understanding of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy and predicts its success:

“Liberals and all those who favor (Hillary) Clinton will never admit it. They will never admit that he is the one true leader. The man is doing changes like never before and does all of it for the sake of this nation’s people. After eight years of tyranny, we finally see a difference.”

Then he goes on to explain how Trump is making it happen.

Kissinger knows it and he continues with: “Every country now has to consider two things: One, their perception that the previous president, or the outgoing president, basically withdrew America from international politics, so that they had to make their own assessments of their necessities. And secondly, that there is a new president who’s asking a lot of unfamiliar questions. And because of the combination of the partial vacuum and the new questions, one could imagine that something remarkable and new emerges out of it.”

Then Kissinger puts it bluntly: “Trump puts America and its people first. This is why people love him and this is why he will remain in charge for so long. There is not a single thing wrong with him and people need to open their eyes.”

Kissinger once explained that he and Nixon felt that it was important to convince Soviet leader Brezhnev that the U.S. president was unpredictable and capable of anything. Trump has held North Korea at bay and gotten China to accept sanctions on its people and companies that do business with Pyongyang by just such a strategy.

When he boasts that he has a “bigger red button” than Kim Jung Un does, he so transcends the mealy-mouthed rhetoric of the past that he forces a new recognition of American power.

Kissinger once wrote, “(T)he weak grow strong by effrontery. The strong grow weak through inhibition.” No sentence better captures the U.S.-North Korea relationship.

Trump is discarding the inhibitions and call(s) the bluff on North Korea’s effrontery.

Just like Kissinger would have done.

His point is that the contrast of American retreat under Obama and its new assertion of power under Trump creates a new dynamic that every one of our allies and of our enemies must consider.

They grew complaisant with Obama’s passivity and now are fearful due to Trump’s activism. And they must balance the two in developing their policies.

They realize that the old assumptions, catalyzed by Bush 43’s preoccupation with Iraq and Obama’s refusal to lead are obsolete. So, Trump is forcing a new calculus with a new power behind American interests.

Those — here and abroad — who rode the old apple cart worry about its being toppled.

But, as Kissinger so boldly states, Trump “is the one true leader” in world affairs and he is forcing policy changes that put America first.

Dick Morris is a former adviser to President Bill Clinton as well as a political author, pollster and consultant. His most recent book, “Rogue Spooks,” was written with his wife, Eileen McGann.

I’ve watched Dick Morris over the years and he is more experienced in White House political affairs than I could ever hope to be. His ability to make an accurate assessment of previous presidents and their foreign policy decisions while assessing the present administration is priceless.

If patriots (left, right, and center) would stop the infighting, name calling and public bickering and come together to solve the many problems and issues we have in this country, and the world, there is nothing that we could accomplish.

Case in point: We have homelessness; we tolerate wide spread abortion in America by calling it a
Woman’s right to choose”; we have massive substance abuse problems; still no cure for cancer; and intolerant political hatred, yet we fight to justify or condemn those who strive to gain unlawful entry into the United States?

We attack our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line in our behalf? Our children emulate us and want to be just like us when they grow up, so our society bullies them until their “American Dream” is nothing but a nightmare.

Elementary school kids dress up as their favorite super heroes: military, political or law enforcement, and they are ridiculed by other students, castigated by teachers and school administrators and expelled for daring to recognize the President of the United States by dressing as him on a super heroes recognition day.

Have you not heard the old saying, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”? Intolerant Americans are like the neighborhood tree trimmer who climbs out on a limb, then proceeds to saw it off between himself and the trunk.

The old America of intolerance is dead. It’s time to bring back good fashioned common sense. It’s time to use that “noodle between the ears”. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Like a Pack of Hyenas

Like a Pack of Hyenas

Maybe it’s a natural human tendency to gather together in a mutually beneficial pact where ideas are exchanged, solutions are proposed and implemented. I don’t think one man working alone could have come up with the “wheel”. How was it determined to be round? Who put a hole in the middle? What about the name? Could all this have been done in a majority of one?

What I think is two or more guys were sitting outside the man cave, near an open fire roasting dinner and slurping on a “wet one” while deciding on inventing something. It may have been hard to come up with something after someone had already invented “fire”.

Over time someone may have been climbing a hill and dislodged a huge rock which “rolled” (new idea) down the hill and thus the idea of rolling was formed. The rock may have hit something and split open, thus producing 2 halves. Someone else may have come along and started pounding in the middle trying to split the half and only succeeded in punching a hole through the middle (this could have been the first hole in one), then he moved to the other half and ended up doing the same thing, another hole in the one. No it wasn’t until much later that golf was invented.

Could the next evolutionary use of these halves have been someone else putting a branch through each half, standing up the 2 halves and needing a purpose, put a log on top of the branch and moving it further down the hill? This is all speculation (my speculative powers).

In the animal kingdom there are mommy and daddy animals that produce baby animals. OK, so much for basics. But take several young wild animals and when they come together as a group they become a pack. In hyenas they may be called a pride, but when they focus on their prey, acting as one they attack and nothing will detract them. After making the kill they devour the prey, beginning with the alpha male or female, leaving the lowest ranking member to savage for scraps.

People are the same way only they become a click, gang or mob. The funny thing (not funny) about gangs is how they act when they come together. In much the same way as hyenas, gangs take individuals who lose their individuality while striving to be accepted. As the mob mentality sets in they find themselves powerless to resist and end up doing and saying things they wouldn’t otherwise say or do.

When it comes to American politics there are hierarchies and divisions which mimic those in the animal kingdom. Take an Bobby who feels slighted, he can scribble on a sign “Johnny’s Unfair”, then marsh up and down the street for days or weeks protesting. Passersby stop and ask Bobby what’s going on? Bobby tells them he feels slighted by Johnny and suddenly someone else scribbles on a sign and joins Bobby. As the crowd begins to grow, the tension changes and tempers get heated. Now you have a crowd which has just become a mob as they take off after Johnny. There are threats and words being thrown around and next comes setting trash cans on fire, tipping over the family doghouse or worse. If left out of control nobody wins.

What we have today is an organized mob action against President Trump led by some very highly placed U.S. government officials, directing violence against other government officials and private citizens who happen to believe an alternate perspective on political issues. The media attention focuses a spotlight on come pretty outlandish behavior, which may affect it in a negative or positive manner.

If all you hear on social media, news networks and radio are reports that the sky is falling, it’s only natural to believe the sky is falling. What one should probably do first is look outside to see if the sky is really falling? What you find may surprise you. Either the sky is really falling or some people are going off the deep end without a paddle or a canoe.

Bad behavior, whether on the left or the right is not acceptable, in particular when it is a prominent government official stirring up the pot. Reciting hateful or destructive rhetoric only hurts the cause of freedom. Threatening anybody with death or physical harm is against the law and can result in your being put away for a long, long time.

Civil discourse is healthy, while hatred burns like a cancer and scars our very souls.

In the Bible we are told that the love of money is the root of all evil. Once someone has been bitten by that money bug, there is on satisfying it. Money leads to power. Power in the hands of the wrong person can be destructive.

Remember that nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. When everybody does nothing bad people can cause a lot of destruction wherever they go.

This week we are on the eve of America’s July 4^th celebration, where patriotism rules the day. We celebrate the birth of our great nation, the heritage we all share, and the look forward to the future that lies ahead.

Contrary to what others tend to tell you about our country, the United States of America is the greatest nation on earth. Our friendship and support of Israel is cemented in our belief that God blesses those who bless Israel and God curses those who curse Israel. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Clueless Liberal Business Guidelines

H1193-L100633032

Clueless Liberal Business Guidelines

We’re beginning to see symptoms exhibited in clueless businesses nationwide. It’s hard to pin down the actual disease, but it must be something in the water that is causing an epidemic-like illness similar to what was seen in the wild west during the 49 California Gold Rush that caused bustling and booming mining towns to go belly up. It is spreading across the United States and it is growing worse every day. Does it have a name yet? I might propose calling it what it is, “C.L.B. syndrome” (Clueless Liberal Business syndrome).

I know they must teach business classes in colleges and universities. There are a couple of universal principles that successful business must adhere to. One is location, location, location. Location is important when wanting to attract new customers or bring out new products. Being in the wrong location hurts the business and stifles growth. Second is that the customer is always right. Pleasing customers gets the word out to other potential customers and just helps businesses grow. A major factor in having a successful business is having the right business model and the right employee staff. When you neglect having knowledgeable supervisors and workers the end result is that not only will you stop growing the business, but you will lose your motivated workforce. Finally having the right signage is crucial in identifying your business, promoting your product line or announcing upcoming specials?

There are a number of things a business owner can do to kill a business faster than this upcoming liberal plague. One sure fire way to stifle your business is to place signs that single out a specific group of the local population and announce their business is no longer wanted. In America we call it discrimination. It is against the law to discriminate based upon race, religious, sexual orientation, creed or national origin and is a good way to draw attention from county, state and federal health inspectors, or Internal Revenue auditors or even local building inspectors. Placing a sign up that prohibits Republicans is simply ludicrous. The purpose of a business should be to attract customers, not chase them away.

It is clear that some people should never delve into the business world. Maybe those same people should reconsider having offspring as well. After all what good is a business that is content to be substandard and/or hire employees without any customer service skills or adequate training to develop those skills?

Lucky for everyone the internet has made it so that many businesses are forced to conduct their businesses on level playing fields. One can now go on twitter, Instagram or facebook and locate any particular business, read and post comments as to the merits or demerits of a particular business. Even the old fashioned letter to the editor in a local newspaper can get the word out on a particularly worthless business. Reporting a business to the local Better Business Bureau can cause a reversal of substandard business practices. Although it takes more man hours, one can always create a huge distracting sign and pace up and down the street in front of the business, forcing them to change their business practices.

It’s not really a good idea to target folks who have the power to put your business out of commission in short order. It’s like the saying, “Raise your children right, as they will be selecting your nursing home.” I’m surprised that legislators with the power to create or write bills that can become laws would spend so much time complaining about a law, instead of working to correct it? Liberals are the only “species” that will shoot themselves in the foot and wonder what happened. I guess another saying is appropriate and that is, “Life is hard, harder if you’re stupid.” – I am the Real Truckmaster!

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

whats wrong with trump

6-27-2018

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!

A Crack in the Liberal Armor

OLD AND NEW

6-26-2018

A Crack in the Liberal Armor

Today is sort of a turning point in American politics. It is the day the liberal armor began to crack. It is the day that Representative Steve Scalise spoke out against the inappropriate rantings of Representative Maxine Waters. It is the day that a motion to censure and ask for the resignation of Rep. Waters. It is also the day that Senator Chuck Schumer, fearing the political backlash moved away from Maxine. And finally it is the day when America can finally see how unhinged the liberal left Democrats in Congress have become.

It seems unreal that the manufactured hatred toward President Donald J. Trump was virtually unheard of until he announced his run for the presidency. It didn’t materialize with action until it was clear that Queen Hillary would not move into the Oval Office.

I could see displeasure with the president, had he started off his administration by declaring the United States an open border state and openly invite Islamic terrorists to ply their wares here, as they do in their homeland and throughout the Middle East, Africa and other parts of the free world. I would be outraged had the president, sold our natural resources to China, Russia or other nations for personal gain, or began undercutting the Constitution of the United States and dismantling our Republic. It would pain me greatly to see the president wreak havoc on our nation’s financial establishments and begin tearing apart our nation by race, religion or sexual orientation or embraced the torturous death by abortion of our unborn, ripping them literally from the womb. One doesn’t have to be a Rhode Scholar to see what has been tearing at the very fabric of our nation since the removal of God from our public life and establishments and the passing of Roe vs Wade.

Over the course of our nation’s history our system of political governance has morphed and migrated to what we have today a system of political parties with very different ideas on what is better for America. Historically the Republican party rallied for the abolition of slavery, the rights of women to vote, the abolition of racism in America, while opposed at every step by a Democrat Party, that presents itself as the savior of the racial minority and the under privileged in America.

America’s inner cities have bought into the lie spewed by the liberal leftist that they and they alone give voice to their plight, while one only has to look at the leadership of America’s large cities and most populated states, where stifling policies on law enforcement, unemployment and high taxes, coupled with increases in violent crime and old fashioned “Chicago-style” mob rule is order of the day.

Today is a new day in America and many a new start will begin as the 2018 mid-term elections are running full swing. I ask America, “Are you better off today than you were just 2 years ago?”

“What have you got to lose?” The liberal armor is about to crack wide open as a new breed of Democrats, free-thinkers who look beyond the hype and look to the future of a better America.

America doesn’t need another “politician-president”, America needs a “problem solving-president”. America needs a winner. When our president stays focused on American safety, security and economy – America wins. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Weaponized Arm of the Blue Dog Democrats of Congress

Bring Common Sense Back

6-26-2018

The Weaponized Arm of the Blue Dog Democrats of Congress

Lost in the shroud of forgetfulness and hidden among the 241 Congressional Caucuses is the key that unlocks the constant anger and no longer silent rage within the Congress of the United States.

Since the 2016 election and the 2017 inauguration of President Donald J. Trump members of the Congressional Black Caucus began taking aim and focusing a liberal agenda to target the president and his administration. They have charged the media, to incite the public against the Trump administration as the cause of all the woes of this nation. They are wrong. Now let that sink in for a moment.

Much has been happened across the United States and can be directly linked to the Congressional Black Caucus whose members are not shy about standing in front of television cameras and lambast the president.

Upon the 1971 formation of the Congressional Black Caucus its founding member Representative James E. Clyburn (D-SC) made this statement which holds true even today, “Black people have no permanent friends, no permanent enemies…just permanent interests.” Currently Rep. Clyburn is the #2 Ranking member of the Democratic Party.

The CBC from its inception have committed themselves to using the full Constitutional power, statutory authority, and financial resources of the federal government to insure that blacks and other marginalized communities in the United States have the opportunity to achieve the American Dream as they see it. (The CBC agenda as stated on cbc.house.gov). The CBC is mandated in their charter to restrict membership to blacks only and have refused membership to the only non-black representative who challenged them.

We have seen various CBC members taking public stances against President Trump. Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) has yelled the loudest, “Impeach Trump”, and back in 1998, while Chairwoman of the CBC, she called for Fidel Castro of Cuba to protect cop-killer JoAnne Chesimard who fled to Cuba to escape prosecution. I’m glad to see the Congress calling for a censure and the removal of Maxine Waters after her insane plea for liberals to “Harass and intimidate Trump Administration Cabinet Officials”.

CBC member Representative Frederica Wilson (D-FL) tried publicly to humiliate President Trump over the private phone call made to the widow of a Special Operations soldier killed last year in Africa.

CBC member Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) called for the resignation of HLS Secretary Neilson who was harassed by a mob inside a restaurant while dining.

CBC members have touted presenting Articles of Impeachment against President Trump, while leading the effort to remove Confederate and Religious Statues and Monuments from private, public and federal lands citing they are offensive.

The so called “Immigration Crisis” has come to a head because legislators of both the House and Senate have been unwilling to sit down and draft a Comprehensive Immigration Reform plan that would correct various discrepancies in our immigration laws. Those liberal “Blue Dogs” and “CBC” members who yell the loudest about this crisis are the ones most unwilling to step up and do what is necessary.

Yes the emboldening of the Democrat Party has come by way of the Congressional Black Caucus, who has been virtually unopposed in their attempts to dismantle much of the American way of life as we know it. They have become the virtual “weapon” of choice against anyone or anything that threatens their power and control in the Congress. I call upon the Congress of the United States to disband ANY CAUCUS or congressional assembly that threatens the United States of America and its citizens. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Time to End the Craziness from the Liberal Leftists

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!

Blue Dogs Turn Red

Blue Dog Gang Sign Chart

6-25-2018

Blue Dogs Turn Red

Why do democrats use such visually stimulating colors in the presentation of the facts “as they see them”? It’s interesting to me that the color “blue” has long been associated with Democrats and the color “red” has been the Republicans color of choice.

So why all of a sudden have the Democrat Party launched into this childish era of using what amounts to gang signs? The raised fists are reminiscent of the days of the Black Panther party or the Socialist Party. Recently it has been designated as a red fist telling supporters of President Trump they are not welcome in certain establishments. So why the red fist, because red is representative of the Republican Party?

It’s been said that Democrats are so keen on using graphical representation to get their points across, in particularly with voters. They do such a great job that I’ve heard of dead voters casting their ballots for Democrats.

What is really telling in the grand scheme of things are the number of elected Democrats in federal and state positions and are suffering from early stages of dementia, having reverted back to kindergarten level problem solving. They are reported to have told audiences to go “beat up or harass” the mean old Trumpers. Some are even calling government officials and agencies mean and nasty names, which often show the true intelligence of the one talking. Remember don’t talk to strangers? Well don’t talk about strangers either. There’s nothing stranger than a stranger talking about another stranger, strange don’t you think?

When you hear or see someone telling you that wrong is right and right is wrong, don’t fall for it. If you want an infallible standard that will never let you down or steer you wrong, try picking up a Bible and reading the Ten Commandments from God to man. They are rules to live by. When someone tells you that stealing is ok, it’s not! No amount of rationalizing will change the fact that law breaking is law breaking is law breaking. I may not be the brightest light bulb in the box, but I am The Real Truckmaster!
