Pick Your Battles

 

As I prepare for the New Year ahead I have decided to look back at the many “crisis” that have hit our nation as the left has waged an all-out war against President Donald Trump for the past 2 years. I have taken each crisis as it came and did my best to be informative, constructive and yes at times satirical as I wanted the reader to see the hypocrisy and pettiness of liberals on the left as well as the Rhinos on the right.

 

We watched as everyone began calling right wrong and wrong right. Women marched in the streets holding signs demanding the same rights as guns. Too bad they didn’t get their wish because guns have no rights or lefts for that matter.

 

The spontaneous walkout of students across the nation, and nobody challenged these blatant attempts at manipulation where students were bussed across towns and across the nation and financed by who, all in the name of gun control?

 

When you thought it couldn’t get any crazier Women’s March organizers gathered women and huge signs and demanded the right to murder their unborn children in the womb, in the name of “A Woman’s Right to Choose an Abortion”. Well women many women have made that choice even though it goes against the 10 Commandments as written in Exodus 20: 2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:5-21, you know the part where we are commanded not to kill (murder).

 

We’ve see gays marching in the streets parading themselves around as something they are not. Women dressed up as men; men dressed up as women; men and children dressed up as drag queens, all in an attempt to gain acceptance by mainstream America. Let me point back to Exodus and Deuteronomy, where God calls it sin. There are no big sins and little sins, sin is sin. We are admonished not to sin.

 

We’ve had the “caravan” scare more times than I can count, and all it boils down to are people manipulating other people and facilitating their blatant attack on our nation’s sovereignty by pressing our border so that the USA becomes an open border state. It matters not that many immigrants make the trip north with diseases and illnesses that are highly contagious and even deadly to children (2 from Guatemala have already died at the border), and there is no telling how many may have died on the way.

 

The attack against President Trump, his administration and even his supporters goes against all sense of normalcy and the laws of our nation. These attacks are carried out by members of Congress (who cannot be prosecuted when they do so during a session of Congress), but many have taken to the streets and instigated their loyal followers to harass, stalk at work, home or in public places and attack, attack, attack.

 

I haven’t even discussed the sanctuary cities, counties and states with politicians, mayors and governors who instruct their state agencies to disregard US law enforcement requests concerning illegal immigrants who commit crimes against US citizens.

 

There are many who act like schoolchildren on the playground when someone doesn’t play “fair”. They pout, moan and groan about the President not acting presidential. Well howdy doody, do you know that I didn’t vote for Trump to act presidential. I voted for him because he wasn’t a politician and he promised to do the very things he has been doing for the past 2 years.

 

That being said, I don’t make “New Year’s Resolutions) as a general rule, but I resolve over the next 24 months to do everything in my power to stand firm against those anti-American attacks on my President Donald Trump. However I will not argue debate or go “tit for tat” with anyone anymore.

 

I will battle with the truth and with facts; not the CNN’s style “facts” as they are presented nor the fake news media journalistic Hodge- Podge of inaccurate trash of the past. Don’t bring “allegations” or “he said, she said” either.

 

State your case, include a source (links are acceptable) then move out smartly. I will not be bullied, nor will I be silent. It is my belief that the Congress of the United States has been compromised and has no integrity left. The Schumers, Pelosis, Feinsteins, Bookers and Harris’ have all contributed to this hateful spirit oozing out of the pores of Congress. I have not yet dug into the “caucus” effect, where 535 members of Congress have created 512 Congressional Caucuses and have contributed to the chaos in the halls of Congress. As far as I can tell a caucus is no different than a lobbyist organization, only most caucuses are paid for by US tax dollars. I will begin sorting through each caucus membership and determining exactly how they effectively bully other members of Congress into becoming nothing more than a legislative doormat! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Moving Forward with Reckless Abandon

Moving Forward With Reckless Abandon

 

While going to the store the day after Christmas we came to a light that changed from green to yellow and then red. We were in the left turn lane and witnessed the most bazaar incident where two kids crossing traffic were within inches of being hit by two cars that ran through the red light completely oblivious to the danger of their actions of moving forward with reckless abandon and it was a miracle that neither child was hit.

 

Normal reactions range from alarm, relief, dismay and anger (not necessarily in that order), before trying to pin the blame on the drivers for running the red light, or the children who pushed their bikes across the intersection. Who’s at fault?

 

In the mindset of today (2018) some would say it was the parents fault, because they should have had eyes on their children at all times. Others would blame the auto manufacturers for making cars that could be driven over the posted speed limit. A few would blame the bicycle makers because they made the bikes to attract kids. I’m sure someone would blame the city because the light changed to red (a hindrance to the drivers).

 

To all I ask, what would you do? Would you roll down the window and yell at the kids? Would you follow the drivers and attempt to get license numbers? Or would you even care?

 

Politics of today is much like that incident at the intersection. One side is clambering for the wall, the other side is wailing against a stupid wall and some are going about their business and don’t care one way or the other.

 

Is it futile to argue over the wall, because after all what is the purpose of the wall? Do we complain when we go to a ballgame? They have walls to contain the players and insure the playing field is clear of obstructions. Visitors are seated in the bleachers, behind a wall that separates them from the players to insure their safety. There is a manned entrance where one often pays for and receives a ticket to gain admission. Is there a big fuss when someone tries to gain entrance without a ticket?

 

What happens when you go to the mall? Can you gain access without going through one of the sets of doors? What happens if the doors are locked and the mall is preparing to shut down for the night? Are there demonstrators demanding entrance because they can?

 

Let’s discuss border security. What is the purpose of having a closed border, with access points where everyone crossing into or departing from are checked for proper identification and documentation that authorizes them to cross? Prior to the events of 9/11/2001 many countries simply required picture identification for citizens to gain access to certain countries.

 

For those of us who travel we understand that security is a major concern and US immigration laws require everyone who enters or exits the USA must have a picture ID and a valid passport. We also understand that everyone who enters the USA must proceed through the TSA checkpoint where personal items are checked and everyone receives a body scan.

 

For those physically crossing the Southern and Northern borders of the US the rules are a bit different in that vehicles are scanned and passengers have their passports checked, and occasionally a detailed inspection is conducted searching for unauthorized passengers, drugs or weapons.

 

There are serious problems along the Southern border with Mexico. Inadequate or non-existent security fencing, paneling or wall paneling allows for the often times unrestricted access of individuals who possess not identification or documentation to gain entry.

 

Whether you agree or disagree with having a border wall is irrelevant. It is the responsibility of the Government of the United States of America to secure our borders and to keep our citizens and visitors safe. Building an adequately reinforced border wall is vital to the national security of our nation.

 

Those who are ill-advised misinformed or simply against a secure border because it has been requested by the President of the United States are prime examples of a people moving forward with reckless abandon. Just like the intersection the consequences of doing nothing are far outweighed by the benefits of building a wall which will reduce or eliminate the flow of illegal drugs coming across the border as well as bring illegal immigration and human trafficking to a halt.

 

Immigration is not a democrat or a republican “thing” it is vital for the national security of our Constitutional-Republic. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Constitutionalism versus Legalism

Constitutionalism versus Legalism

 

Do you ever wonder why Republicans and Conservatives hang everything on the Constitution, yet Democrats and Liberals hang everything on the Law, well sort of?

 

Time and time again we see President Trump use the powers of the Executive Office, backed up by the Constitution to right a wrong or to protect the citizens of the United States, only to have Democrats or a Liberal Justice of a federal court strike it down, or block the EO from going into effect. Is that crazy or what?

 

When Trump questions an area that needs to be addressed, he notifies the Legislative leadership and provides detailed problem areas that need to be fixed. Doing this in a public setting, with cameras rolling and journalists in abundance everyone is all smiles as they tippy toe around the bramble bush, waiting for the room to be cleared so that they can get down to the real wheeling and dealing in private, so much for transparency.

 

While the president tweets, “We had a good meeting” shortly after the meeting has concluded and almost before the doors are unlocked the main stream media has released an in depth article telling all the nasty things the president “allegedly” said.

 

The first thing the Democrats do is head outside to the press and tell American citizens and the world how they are going to stop the president in his tracks and prevent him from getting his way. They even throw in a “presidential tantrum” or two to emphasize their point.

 

Take the recent resignation of Defense Secretary Mattis. The White House announced that the Secretary was going to resign effective February 2019 and as the President thanked the Secretary for his honorable and faithful service, the media had published the entire letter online. So President Trump decides to make the resignation official on 1 January 2019 and the speculation blows up.

 

I’m just surprised that a judicial ruling didn’t spring up saying the President couldn’t do that? After all when Trump blocked an adversarial Twitter follower, there came a court decree that he couldn’t. When Trump had Jim Acosta removed from the White House Press Room, pulled his credentials and had him escorted off the premises, a judicial decree demanded Acosta be reinstated and his credentials returned.

 

When President Trump issued an Executive Order stemming the flow of immigrants from select countries and geographical areas, as is his power to do, a judicial decree soon popped up blocking it from taking effect.

 

Conversely when in 2012 President Obama got tired of waiting for Congress to act he issued his unconstitutional Executive Order on DACA and there was no outrage or judicial decree blocking it. Yet in 2017 when President Trump instructed Congress to fix DACA or it would expire naturally and not be renewed. Everyone pitched a fit and a judicial decree soon appeared.

 

Democrats attempting everything from allowing illegal immigration to gun control and confiscation complain that except for the Constitution they would have already succeeded. They offer “bribes” to low income and minorities in exchange for Democrat votes, but do not hesitate to belittle and shame anyone who dares to stand up against them by calling them stupid, racist and anti-American.

 

Republicans on the other hand stand on the Constitution as the basis for protecting citizen’s rights against a tyrannical government. They encourage everyone to become familiar with the Constitution and with the Bible which was the basis of its standards. Everyone is encouraged to work hard, save for their retirement and vote according to their personal values and common sense and are called Americans.

 

Don’t let the insane rantings from the left or the right because you to cause you to do what is wrong because they say it is right. Think about it. – I am The Real Truckmaster!

Memories of Army Truckin’ 2

Memories of Army Truckin’ 2

 

I have a number of memories stored up about driving trucks overseas while in the army, but not all truckers drive trucks, or do they? This one involved the “snake eaters” of the Green Berets in the Panama Canal Zone.

 

It was 1974 and Vietnam was still a war when I did a permanent change of station (PCS) to Fort Davis in the Canal Zone which was on the Atlantic side near Colon and the lake called Gatun. Sometime in 1975 I found myself being assigned and working as a military customs inspector. Technically it was a military police function, but our office was a three man office and only Staff Sergeant Brian Stoner was a cop.

 

Our job was to go anywhere on the Atlantic side to inspect household goods, hold baggage shipments, privately owned vehicles and to customs certify (clear) unaccompanied and unit baggage for our Special Forces guys who would leave in the dead of night for parts unknown and incase their baggage ended up stateside it had to have a customs seal affixed to it. We’d go to their isolation area and do our business, then leave. No sweat, no problem.

 

Other times we’d be at Fort Sherman clearing temporary duty unit personnel after they finished jungle school. One of those times I had finished clearing a unit and we were standing around when “Doc” (don’t remember his real name), he was my next door neighbor, a SF medic, came up to me and asked if I was going to be around for the rappelling demonstration? I told him I might be able to wait for it. Doc said he would be the first one out of the helicopter because the medic needed to be on the ground in case anyone got injured. I believed him.

 

So when the helicopter came overhead above the drop zone we all had our eyes on what was going to happen and as they threw out the rappelling ropes, the first one out dropped like a rock. My mouth must have hid the ground just as he did. What was I going to tell his wife? She was Japanese and my Thai wife and she were good friends. I’m stunned and in shock.

 

About that time Doc came up behind me laughing. He saw that I was in no laughing mood and begged me not to tell his wife what he’d done to me. He said for demonstrations the first one out is always the dummy.

 

It was lunch time so we went to the mess hall where they served huge lobsters on Fridays, and since I don’t eat shellfish, Stoner ate his and my lobster. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Congressional Caucuses Friend or Foe

12-26-2018

 

Congressional Caucuses Friend or Foe

 

I’ve written several articles about Congressional Caucuses. When President Trump took office there were 242 Congressional Caucuses. Yesterday I decided to check again and by golly in the span of 2 years there are now 512 Congressional Caucuses. 512! Do you wonder about whether this is a good thing or not? There is even a Caucus Makers Caucus!

 

Don’t get these confused with Congressional Committees.

 

The House has a committee and the Senate has a matching committee. Take the House Veterans Affairs Committee (I just made that up as an example), it would presumably create legislation about a specific need for Veterans. It would then vote to send it to the floor of the House for a vote. The full body of the House would vote on it, say to issue a pair of clean socks to Veterans. If it is rejected it would go back to committee to be reworked and then voted on to send it back to the floor. If it is passed, it goes to the Senate.

 

The Senate Veterans Affairs Committee (again I just made that up as an example), would create legislation about the same specific need for Veterans. It would vote to send it to the floor of the Senate for a vote. The full body of the Senate would vote on it, say to issue a pair of clean socks to Veterans. If it is rejected it would go back to committee to be ironed out then voted on to send it back to the floor. If it passes it is combined with the House bill and goes to the President to be signed into law.

 

This process is extraordinarily complicated in itself. The language must be exact. The voting must go exactly right. Both chambers of Congress must basically agree in detail. The President can reject it with a veto, or sign it into law, but if it is vetoed there are specific procedures to override the Presidential Veto and it becomes law.

 

Are you still with me? According to the Constitution the House and the Senate are separate bodies of the Legislative Branch of government. One of the “perks” is the creation of Caucuses. These are where members can join together to further like-minded goals. A Caucus is controlled by the rules of the House. Some are even funded by taxpayer dollars while others are not. They sort of act like Congressional Lobbyists and can bring legislators together to enable or block certain legislation.

 

Now think of 512 Congressional Lobbyists Groups each with a possible total of 535 members that could feasibly give 273,920 votes on any particular bill. What if a single Caucus had say, 49 members and out of those members there were 36 actively engaged in more than 100 different caucuses, involving members from BOTH sides of the isle and BOTH chambers of Congress? Would that be troubling to you? Or is that not troublesome whatsoever?

 

Someone once told me that I’m placing too much importance on the activities of one simple caucus and they are not that important. I strongly disagree.

 

Let’s look at one caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus which began in 1971. It currently has 49 members of both sides of the isle and of both chambers of congress. Sound familiar?

 

As of the date of this article they have 36 members actively engaged in a total of 109 Congressional Caucuses and 9 Congressional Organizations. The CBC has 13 members who may not be visibly active in caucuses, but many are extremely up front and vocal never-Trumpers frequently in the spotlight of the news at the drop of a hat.

 

The Congressional Black Caucus is made up entirely of African-American members (a requirement) and non-African-Americans are not accepted. They are primarily responsible for attacking public and private organizations, church organizations as they have taken the “mantle” of searching out racism in government and shedding light on it. Too bad they don’t start with themselves.

 

Currently they are attacking the Knights of Columbus (a Catholic entity) as a racist group. They have attacked men in general calling for them to be silent. They have sought to bring down statues of American Veterans, Christian symbols and even attempted to have US military installations renamed because they were named after Confederate Generals.

 

Their attack on law enforcement (Abolish ICE, etc) and their resistance to enforcement of immigration laws is a threat to the national security of the United States.

 

Are there no checks and balances in Congress to stop this kind of racism? Who is to say, “Enough is Enough”? Some of the more recognizable members of the CBC are Maxine Waters, Cory Booker, Keith Ellison, Mia Love, Elijah Cummings, Frederica Wilson, Kamala Harris, Sheila Jackson Lee and many others.

 

I have not delved into any of the other 511 Caucuses or 9 Congressional Associations, but how difficult just working in Congress can be without being thrown into the proverbial Lion’s Den with the appearance of political corruption by a few bad apples? Maybe we need a special investigation into Congressional Caucuses? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Memories of Army Truckin’

12-26-2018

 

Memories of Army Truckin’

 

I have a number of memories stored up about driving trucks overseas while in the army. Some of them involve the “snake eaters” of the Green Berets.

 

During my final overseas tour (they now call it a deployment) I was in the land of the rising sun and on my very first (no field duty) Corps level Field Training Exercise North Wind ’89 to the northern island of Hokkaido. Keep in mind I’m an army senior transportation sergeant (E-7) with 20 years active duty, and sitting behind a field desk as a dispatcher and I’m not real happy.

 

I also have the job of transporting soldiers to and from the airport as well as out to training locations in a right hand steering Isuzu minivan. This particular day I’m transporting an A-Team to the rifle range over a snow and ice covered dirt road we call a tank trail. Inside the van is an entire A-Team complete with rucksacks, gear and weapons needed on the rifle range where they will be qualifying soldiers from the 25th Infantry Division out of Hawaii.

 

Everyone was joking and carrying on as we bounced along the snow covered dirt road. The Captain was sitting on the engine cover between the two front seats. He leaned over and asked, “Sergeant how long have you been in Japan?” That was an easy question so I answered, “Two weeks sir!” Boy howdy did it get quiet in the van. All we heard was the creaking and squeaking as the van bounced along.

 

After seemingly catching his breath he asked a follow up question, “Where did you come from before Japan?” Without hesitating I said, “Fort Carson sir!” Immediately it was like everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief and the joking and carrying on continued until I dropped them off at the range.

 

As I drove away I thought to myself, why does everyone think Colorado is the land of snow and ice? Prior to ending up in Japan I had been stationed at Fort Carson for almost 4 years. My office had been a conex container in the motor pool. I spent quite a bit of time in the field or out to some remote training location and don’t seem to remember any “big ones” dumping snow. Oh that would come a few years later when we got hit with “the big one” in 96 or 97. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Trump is Ruining Our Country

12-23-2018

 

Trump is Ruining Our Country

 

Let me dive into this head first. I’ve listened as Democrats call him a crook, a cheat and a womanizer and worse. You forgot Trump was far worse than those things he was in fact a Democrat. You say Trump had his business handed to him on a platter. His dad built the business and son Donald simply exploited the business, by lying and cheating. You say his father bailed him out many times and yes to some extent I agree.

 

I’ve read about Trump’s early years and how his father taught him about life, business and as a disciplinary tool even sent him to military school to “straighten him out”. His father always came to visit him during the holidays. It was during this time when Trump’s primary instructor drilled into his students that winning was the only thing. Trump grasped that idea quickly and set that as his primary focus in life.

 

Never have I read that Trump’s father handed him anything. At the point in life when he took over the business, Trump began building up the Trump Empire by branding his name “Trump”. That was not necessarily what the father liked, but he didn’t interfere.

 

Trump did what many successful businessmen have done before and since, he gambled on ideas that didn’t always pan out. Some were successful and others not. Going bankrupt to the point of losing everything but somehow negotiating a deal out of it, wasn’t cheating, just getting the rules changed. Trump didn’t just get knocked down, but he got up fighting. That by my definition makes him a successful businessman. And remember Trump was the “darling” with the powerful, the rich and the famous, who wanted his money and/or his endorsement. The powerful and those groupies alike had to get their picture taken with “The Donald”. Those same people today are the very ones who turned against him once he became President.

 

But you obviously don’t know Trump any more than you know me. You believe what you read in the tabloids and through the fake news media, right? Oh and you know that I get all my information from Fox News, right?

 

Well I hate to break it to you but as they say, “You don’t know Jack”. All of your assumptions thus far have been without any factual basis. You don’t call Trump a Republican by claiming he doesn’t know what it means to be a conservative, right? That’s because Trump has been a Democrat all of his adult life and even the Republicans didn’t claim him as one of them.

 

When you call all Republicans Conservatives is like me calling all Democrats Liberals. So are you? For your information there are Conservatives AND Liberals on both parties and Trump is well he’s just Trump!

 

You say politicians have argued over fences since 2006 and that may be true, or it could have been going on quite a bit longer. You say politicians have poured a lot of money in trying to secure the border over the years. That also may be true. But I suspect the politicians have not been seriously considering border security at all, simply seeing how they can profit from it with pork barrel projects in their home states. That seems to have been the trigger behind virtually all legislation during our lifetime.

 

I like it when you call Trump’s wall stupid. It just shows me a little more about you. You Democrats call it unnecessary and costly and belittle Trump for saying he can build it cheaper. Again you call that stupid. In fact if it’s not stupid, it’s racist, it’s anti-American or some other catchy title. Lest you forget what Trump did almost immediately after being inaugurated, he canned the new Air Force One project because it was bloated and overpriced. Boeing came back with a huge price reduction to salvage an airplane that Trump will almost certainly never fly in because it won’t be ready for several years away. So I don’t doubt Trump when he says he can build the wall cheaper, because he won’t just talk about it, he will do it. And the Southern Border needs an effective wall, fence or barrier that is strengthened in certain areas and built across vast stretches of the border where penetration is difficult but enforcement is non-existent.

 

You give figures of billions of dollars approved for border security which you say Trump hasn’t used. Show me? There have been contracts bid over various types of border sections, and many miles have already been constructed or reinforced. We don’t see that in the news. Nobody talks about what has already been done, and when Trump “toots his own horn” he’s called a braggart.

 

Politicians like to do things which they personally profit from, and Trump has made it a point to donate his salary back into government agencies and programs, so as not to profit at all.

 

Trump says he can build a wall for $5B and unlike politicians who have no idea how to turn that into reality, the businessman in Trump has already turned ideas into reality over and over again. I have no idea that he will use every tool in his arsenal to get the job done, ahead of schedule and under budget because he has the experience to make it happen.

 

You have no problem stating that Trump is selling out his country and I say provide the proof? As President, Trump makes US foreign policy. He has gone around the world not kissing up as Obama did during his 8 years in office. Trump has made it clear that his policy is America First. He hasn’t made secret deals behind closed doors with our enemies. He has negotiated with foreign leaders, in the open to be transparent, and kept many of the details secret at the time.

 

So whether open or closed doors it’s the liberal media and their followers who try calling him out as a traitor which he is not. How else can someone account for the misrepresented details being leaked to the press, even before the lights have been turned out in the meeting room?

 

You say Trump obstructs justice or attempts to block DOJ investigations about him, name one? Tell me how the Mueller investigation even began? From made up source documents, paid for by Clinton and her foundation? Perpetuated by FBI leadership, of which Mueller had been a recent past director, with his “investigators” being connected to Clinton and Obama?

 

You say his past doesn’t bother his supporters. Be advised I speak for nobody but myself when I say that I’m not concerned so much as what Trump has said or done in the past. When it comes to the decisions he makes as president because my faith is not in him, but rather on what God is doing through him.

 

This may be something you either don’t want to hear or cannot comprehend, but Trump did not become president to tickle anybody’s ears. He came from a very tough background and is not afraid to say what he means and do what he says. He is not a politician and that’s one reason I voted for him and support him 100% thus far. His draining the swamp campaign rhetoric was not just an idle threat. Although many of us didn’t know there was a swamp, we did know that there is something fishy in Congress when you have lifetime legislators who seem to have a lock on the power in Congress. They’ve been in office because the voters feel obligated or misinformed enough to keep electing them and overlooking their selfish legislative decisions.

 

Take the wall, who was in the legislature in 2006 when the wall was reportedly being discussed for the first time? Many who are still in office, including then Senator Barack Obama and why did the wall not get built? Who was President? George W. Bush, so how much of the border wall was built during his presidency? How much of the money was spent? Where did the rest go? When Barack Obama became President, same questions, how much of the border wall was built during his presidency? How much of the money was spent? Where did the rest go? Why are we still talking about building a border wall anyway?

 

When did mass migration become an issue? Was it during the Bush, Obama or just the Trump Presidency? When did our border become so riddled with holes big enough for “caravans” to come across? When have foreign actors been so emboldened that they organize masses of immigrants into massive invasion forces?

 

It seems to me that rather than taking exception to President Trumps stand on national security in particular along the Southern Border, why are not legislators on both sides of the isle not up in arms upset that there is inadequate enforcement methods in place, to include a border wall, fence or barrier?

 

Keep in mind this is just my opinion, but those who oppose Trump do so just because they can. It has nothing to do with our national security or to make our nation better, safer or more secure. They are simply misguided patriots who are not patriots at all. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Schumer Shut Down Over Funding The Wall

House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Vice President Mike Pence, President Donald Trump, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., argue during a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House, Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2018, in Washington. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)

12-22-2018

 

The Schumer Shut Down Over Funding The Wall

 

So it has happened, the federal government is officially shut down because a divided Congress disputes the request by President Trump to fully fund the wall along our southern US-Mexico border. That’s just great, isn’t it? Does anyone remember reading something about this in the bible?

 

Although the subject matter was slavery, in 1858 President Abraham Lincoln gave his “House Divided” http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/house.htm speech about the congressional approach to ending slavery referencing Mark 3:25 that sounds very much like the meeting between President Trump, House Speaker-Designate Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Schumer https://www.marketwatch.com/story/transcript-of-the-heated-exchange-between-trump-pelosi-and-schumer-2018-12-11  about virtually ending illegal immigration by funding and building the wall.

 

Mark 3:25, ESV, “And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.”

Mark 3:25, NLT, “Similarly, a family splintered by feuding will fall apart.”

 

What’s not hard to figure out is that immigration is what makes the United States what it is, a nation of peoples from across the globe. Yet the problem of unlawful, illegal entry into the country is a plague that invites a myriad of societal issues that if left unchecked can spell the downfall of our nation.

 

We see how those wanting to come to the United States to work and provide for their families in their home countries are being taken advantage of by coyotes (bandits) for money to skirt around lawful entry points and often left to their own devices in the desert without food, water or shelter. Those who survive are many times severely dehydrated and in need of serious medical treatment. Completing the wall will close that gap and insure that those who enter the country do so in accordance to our immigration laws and current US policy.

 

National Security without a wall to control immigration in places where it is needed most is not security at all and a Congress not concerned about national security by funding a wall is not a Congress at all either!

 

We are not a nation of Democrats and Republicans. When we were born it did not state our political affiliation on our birth certificates. We are citizens of and love our nation, the United States of America.

 

American’s who attempt to tear down our nation from within (citizens, congressmen, media, entertainers or sports super-stars) by their actions have become enemies of our Constitutional Republic and are therefore enemies of the people. Enacting insane and repressive laws, rules or directives that go against the laws of nature (God’s laws) and/or against the Rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States will lead to a rebellion not seen in this nation since the Civil War.

 

It is time to terminate the “life as normal” by allowing our elected legislators to act out their fantasies in the halls of Congress or in front of media outlets without being held accountable by “We the People” who elected them. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Trump says Yeah Liberals say Nay

 

Isn’t it extremely odd that “leakers” release fake news, yet real accomplishments are kept hidden?

It’s as if President Trump says “strive to reach your full potential” and those on the left simply say “Hands Up”! If Trump is for it, they are against it.

 

Until the mindset of the Swamp changes, the voice of the media falls in line with patriotism and reports the actual news as it happens, unaltered and the un-American liberal left is removed from government at all levels, there will continue to be “politics as usual” in America!

 

Trump says, “Yeah” = Leftists say, “Nay”

I Do It 4 You = Screw You

Build Wall = Resist and Stall

Denuclearize North Korea = No Way

Tariffs = Not Good

No to NAFTA = Not Good

No $$ UN = Not Good

Nominate = Obliterate

America First = Hate / Racist

No DACA = Hate / Racist

Close Border = Hate / Racist

National Security = Don’t Need Wall

No TPP = Not Good

No $$ NATO = Not Good

Defeated ISIS = It will spring back up

US out of Syria = Wrong Move

US out of Afghanistan = Wrong Move

Voter ID = Hate / Racist

Stand 4 Anthem = Kneel in Protest

Jobs = Welfare

Love 4 Country = Care for Illegals

Take care of our Veterans = Cost too Much

Build Wall = Wasteful and Expensive

Drain Swamp = Un-American

Worship God, not government = Power Rules

 

We’ve been “conditioned” to simply accept the constant personal attacks of all things Trump both online and over the media for the past 2 years. We are told that we are deplorable and mindless minions who blindly follow Trump in his quest to destroy America and the world.

 

Those who spew hatred and divisive misinformation are only showing their true colors as they peddle what they’ve been told so many times that they actually believe it. It is because they do not know history, nor have they been taught that many times others have come before them, trash talking our nation, or president and our military. They have attempted to trample on the Constitutional Rights of Americans and have failed. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Ten Commandments Explained

12-20-2018

 

The Ten Commandments Explained

 

Here we are approaching December 25th, 2018 and every day we have quite a few people who are just not in their right mind or thinking clearly. I feel that maybe they just need a little help to understand the biblical perspective of humans living with humans peacefully.

 

I do realize that without the revelation by the Holy Spirit, the Word of God (the Bible) is seen as just a book. Yet we who are believers, born again by the Holy Spirit of God, and are called by HIS NAME “Christians” understand the one universal truth of Colossians 1: 15 – 18 that God created everything for HIS glory and according to HIS purpose.

 

Colossians 1:

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or [e]principalities or [f]powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

 

God gave Moses a series of “Laws for Earthly Living by Man” in the form of Ten Commandments which when violated are seen by God as sin against HIM. In Romans God has declared that sin requires death and that God has provided the free gift of eternal life in the personhood of Jesus.

 

Romans 6:23

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

 

In the book of John we are told by Paul that Jesus is the payment for the sins of the world and one must personally accept that payment to receive eternal life.

 

John 3

11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.

12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?

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

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

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

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

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

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

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

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

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

 

That being said, what exactly do the Ten Commandments tell us?

 

God tells us that our relationship with HIM is most important.

We should not place anything ahead of that relationship with HIM.

We are not to take HIM for granted or misuse HIS name.

We are to rest in HIM on the Sabbath, seventh day.

We are to honor our father and mother.

Do not murder.

Do not commit adultery (sex outside of marriage).

Do not steal.

Do not lie.

Do not want after another or their possessions.

 

 

Ten Commandments

 

Exodus 20: 1 And God spoke all these words, saying:

2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]bondage.

3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor [b]serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting[c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

13 “You shall not murder.

14 “You shall not commit adultery.

15 “You shall not steal.

16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

 

We honor God by being hearers and by being doers of the Word of the Word of God. We place the welfare of others before our own. We treat everyone as we ourselves want to be treated. (Do unto others as we would have them do unto us.) We don’t look down on anyone, because only God is seated that high.

 

Life is relational, God to Me; Me to You; Us to God (through Christ Jesus). – I am the Real Truckmaster!
