On November 5th, 2024 the nation awakened and elected Donald Trump as POTUS 47. The Democratic Party still has no idea what went wrong as their finger pointing clearly shows. However there are some in the Democratic Party who see the writing on the wall and are warning fellow democrats that they should be alarmed because Donald Trump is picking some very competent and learned people like Pam Bondi his cabinet nominee for Attorney General.
But are the “Trump deniers” listening?
I fear they are not!
I’m not surprised to hear someone like basketball great Charles Barkley tells fellow Democrats to “SHUT THE F@%K UP!”
Nor am I surprised to see Joe and Mika (Morning Joe Live) hightail it down to Mar-a-Largo to have a chat with the big guy either. It is costing them credibility with their loyal (not loyal) fellow democrats like Rosie O’Donnell who calls the traitors who kissed his ring. Democrats act like piranhas devouring their own kind as they attack fellow democrats. There is talk about falling ratings after talking to Trump and MSNBC either pulling or cancelling the show entirely?
Well maybe there’s a spot on Fox for them during primetime to offset their MSNBC replacement? Wouldn’t that be a hoot?
Kamala Harris’ Democratic Party is now a party of losers. They lost when they picked Biden/Harris in 2020, and now the Harris/Walz pick in 2024 was the straw that broke the camel’s back (Google It)!
Now they are trying to leverage Biden from the White House so that Kamala Harris can become the first woman president BEFORE TRUMP TAKES OFFICE! How insane is that?
The fact that most democratic voters are clueless is more troubling. They are like sheep being led to slaughter. The sad thing is that they are taking clueless voters from all walks of life and all political parties with them – jumping and skipping all the way!

Politicians talk a lot about how they are protecting the Rule of Law as they justify why they are breaking that rule.
So one must first ask what is the Rule of Law?
The rule of law is a durable system of laws, institutions, norms, and community commitment that delivers four universal principles: accountability, just law, open government, and accessible and impartial justice.
– World Justice Project
The phrase “the Rule of Law” has to be distinguished from the phrase “a rule of law”. The latter phrase is used to designate some particular legal rule like the rule against perpetuities or the rule that says we have to file our taxes by a certain date. Those are rules of law, but the Rule of Law is one of the ideals of our political morality and it refers to the ascendancy of law as such and of the institutions of the legal system in a system of governance. The Rule of Law comprises a number of principles of a formal and procedural character, addressing the way in which a community is governed.
The Rule of Law is one of the essential principles that form the basis for our Constitution. It ensures equal protection under the law and helps to limit governmental power over citizens.
The rule of law is a fundamental part of American society.
Definition of the Rule of Law
The Rule of Law is a concept that dates back to ancient Greek and Roman philosophers, but it was made famous by British jurist William Blackstone. It states that all people should be treated equally under the law regardless of their wealth or social position in society.
Rules are not designed as a means for one group to gain an advantage over another, and they should never be used to punish or favor a particular individual. It is the basic foundation for the Constitution.
The Constitution is the fundamental law that provides this structure, but others, including treaties and laws passed by Congress. Some of these have been around for a long time before they were included in the main body of constitutional protection. At the same time, others came later on through amendments or judicial decisions. All together, they form what’s called the “Rule of Law.”
– ConstitutionUS.com
Not only is the Constitution of the United States the Law of the Land but it is the foundation of The Rule of Law in our nation.
Other important aspects to consider are the Rules of Law for each of the 50 States, territories and US protectorates. What is the law in some states may not be the same in others. That is why it is a requirement for lawyers and attorneys after graduating from a school of law must then pass a state Bar Exam and be admitted to a state bar association before hanging up their “shingle” to begin practicing law.
A small percentage of lawyers and attorneys venture up the political chain from public defender, prosecuting attorney to attorney general, governor, senator, representative and a very select few make it to the office of the President or Vice President of the United States. They make the transition from public servant to public master as the one who knows what is best for the people of their district, state or nation.
What gives them the power? We do! We The People are the masters of our own fate, or at least we like to think so. Biblically speaking ultimate power is very hard to let go, especially when it brings fame, fortune and control over others.
That’s why I don’t understand when election boards, elected officials, city, county or state governors can take a public stance to “defend the rule of law, and public safety of citizens” as they effectively shred the Rule of Law they have sworn to uphold.
We see this played out with Pennsylvania election officials in 4 counties who defy the Pennsylvania state supreme court or the Democratic Governors Association members who openly resist President Trump’s agenda to remove first criminal elements who’ve invaded our country illegally, and then those migrants who came to this country illegally. Yet it is those elected or appointed officials who are not held accountable for their law breaking actions, yet are quick to stand up for migrants instead of the citizens of their states, and they do so with impunity (exemption or freedom from punishment, harm or loss).
We call that “Business as Usual”.
When will Americans stand up and shout it from the rooftops “ENOUGH”? – RTM
Patriot: a person who loves and strongly supports or fights for his or her country.
Dictator, a single person who possesses absolute political power within a country or territory or a member of a small group that exercises such power. Dictators usually resort to force or fraud to gain despotic political power, which they maintain through the use of intimidation, terror, and the suppression of basic civil liberties. They may also employ techniques of mass propaganda in order to sustain their public support.
You be the judge…….
These terms Patriot and Dictator have been thrown about by both political parties and depending upon the leanings of the media each are justified in the eyes of the general public after and 4 years of President Donald Trump and almost 4 years of President Joe Biden we must do our own comparison.
President Trump said he would only run for president if his country needed him and in 2015 he felt that call to run for public service for the sake of others at great financial loss instead of for personal gain. A firm believer in the Rule of Law as stated in the US Constitution and a staunch supporter of the rights of American citizens to chart their own coarse toward a prosperous future, President Trump is poised to make good on his promises to fix the border crisis, correct the course of the US economy, secure America’s place in world affairs by strengthening our military and keeping America out of unnecessary, costly wars and aggressively reshaping the size of government to stop unnecessary wasteful spending in order to balance the national budget and bring down the tremendous deficit facing our children and grandchildren. That is what patriots do.
President Biden has spent his entire adult life in politics, first the congress, then as vice president and now as president arguably at great personal and financial gain. A firm believer in the Democratic Party President Biden has used his party’s bully pulpit to force compliance of a segment of the American people and literally shredding the Bill of Rights in the process demonstrating the acts of a dictator, calling Americans who support his political opponent vile names for publicly speaking out against his failed policies. His party calls him a great president, yet has abandoned him in his greatest hour of need. That’s what dictators do.
Instead of blasting “the other side”, Americans must come together to forge a new way forward that unites us as a people. It’s not a democrat or a republican thing; it’s purely an American thing.
Unless we learn the lessons of past mistakes, our future is destined to repeat them.

I first posted this in December 2017 near the end of Trump’s first year as president. What I said then is still true today. If it wasn’t so true it would be funny, but prominent people “in the know” seem to think that telling President Donald J. Trump he can’t do something is going to make him change his mind. It only fuels his motivation and makes him that much more determined to push on thru.
Before he decided to run for president, the name Trump was well known in New York City, Atlantic City and all the way down to Florida for his real estate deals. There were some deals that fell through and cost him a tremendous amount of money, but didn’t stop him. He just found other ways to push thru with his philosophy to never give up.
President Trump is a wild card and that scares those lifetime career politicians. Trump is brash, outspoken and very unconventional. Trump is the quaint essential un-politician who is an author of several books, but since 2015 Trump has been rewriting the political book of “You Can’t Do That”!
Presidents have used various media to get their messages out and Trump grasped social media in a way that others could not. Roosevelt used the radio for his fire side chats talking friend to friend. Reagan used television a media that he knew. Obama used late night talk shows and thought of himself a star. Trump used Twitter giving those on the left and their media lackey’s a huge hissy fit. When technology changes, so has Trump’s use of it. Twitter banned Trump while he was the sitting president and Elon Musk bought Twitter, cleaned it up, rebranded it as “X” and Trump has been tweeting ever since.
Donald Trump speaks what’s on his mind, not necessarily as a casual off the cuff remark, but after giving it much thought. Trump tells it like it is and because it’s spontaneous and unpredictable it may come across as crude or “not very presidential”, yet the media is all over it like flies on……….honey.
So why is it that prominent world leaders know exactly what Trump means, yet so many (or so few liberal) Americans can grasp it?
I find it refreshing that a successful businessman can do what he does best – look at government like a business, bring in fresh, experienced and highly successful men and women to evaluate the situation and bring about much needed changes that are much like a clock maker, fine tuning a Swiss watch. Changes aimed at bringing back American pride; pride in manufacturing; pride in working toward the American dream. Having pride in the accomplishments of the people who make up the American workers, through hard work, dedication to service and helping others is something to be sought.
Being so proud of yourself that you resent what you don’t have and the only outlet is to lash out at symbols of freedom and use all your energy to tear down anything that you feel is “oppressive” or representative of something evil in the past. How oppressive is that? Turn your energies into something positive.
Our government has become so huge like a machine that gobbles up people, spits out rules, regulations and laws aimed to enslave society as a whole and has gone unchecked for way to long.
It’s time for someone to say “check mate”, “Stop”, “There has to be a better way”.
President Donald J. Trump has said that he is not the savior of America or of the world. Unlike his predecessor who sought the office of President for various reasons and said all the good things they would do once elected, but did he really make things better? Trump knows the savior of the world, Jesus who is the Christ, and when following the leading of the Holy Spirit of God things will get better for America AND for the world.
It has been a long time since one man so determined to bring about real change in government with an open and aggressive agenda to return to the strategy he began in 2017 to fix what is wrong in America.
A major part of Trump’s agenda has been to “Drain the Swamp” in D.C. What began as a campaign slogan caused rumblings coming out of Washington that is the sound of the swamp creatures afraid as their power is being taken away.
Donald Trump didn’t seek the presidency for power or prestige, he had all that. Nor did he take on the job of president for money, he had more than enough. He didn’t do it so he could fly around in Air Force One, not when he had Trump One with golden faucets and all the elegance of HIS own choosing.
President Trump didn’t seek the presidency so he could be ridiculed over every word he says. In business his employees were totally committed to making sure he was happy and satisfied on everything he saw, felt or touched. As far as worldly riches, Trump had more than enough.
What a far cry for the man who had everything money, power, prestige, a family whom he loves and who loves him, why would he take on the job of president?
Deep down inside like many of us when we see something wrong and think to ourselves “Somebody outta do something!” and we forget that we are somebody and we can do something. Donald Trump said I WILL do something. I will run for president because America needs me and I will win.
Everybody laughed at him.
They said it couldn’t be done. Even when the community organizer said “He will never be president”.
Everybody laughed.
If I know one thing about Donald J. Trump (whom I’ve never met), when you tell him it can’t be done, he will prove you wrong. I don’t know of anything that Trump has ever done in his life that he has not done to win.
Failure is not an option with Donald Trump. Quitting is for losers and Trump is not a loser.
President Donald J. Trump is for America winning again on the world stage. Trump is an entertainer and he doesn’t put himself into a situation where he plans to lose.
Love him or hate him, Trump is for you – winning again.
Trump is a President who believes in taking care of America First – secure our borders (finish that wall); rebuild our military (prepare for war, live in peace); Talk Straight (say what your mean) and Mean What You Say; hold your loved ones close and your enemies closer.
Draining the swamp is first and foremost on Trump’s mind during his second term and that scares the daylights out of those swamp creatures.
In the days to come after January 20th America will experience changes like never before. Good changes, positive changes and changes that will secure FREEDOM for all American’s.
Stay focused – keep the goal in sight and above all “Run the race to win”.

I remember when the party of “Democracy” went into a full-fledged TDS hissy fit, tissues were in high demand and I believe subsequently led to the toilet paper shortages we saw during the covid lockdown period. Women in particular were hysterical; men not so much (unless they self-identified as other than men).
Who would have guessed that even the thought of another Trump presidency would trigger TDS 2.0? This time women again are being hysterical as they self-isolate themselves with no sex and no babies with men. To show their commitment and to seal the deal women are shaving their heads.
As we approach the holidays it is politically okay to unassociated with family members and/or friends who voted for Trump. Don’t ask, oh well!
The biggest takeaway I see in this behavior comes in something I read online (not on FB either) that after the inauguration of 2021, there was “an agreement” between Biden and Harris whereby it would be a joint Biden-Harris Administration. I’m pretty sure that isn’t what voters voted for.
But since the office of the Vice President is a CABINET POSITION dedicated exclusively to carrying forth the agenda of the elected President, going where told and saying what to say, this should have been an easy task – no pain, no gain. Well that didn’t happen, now did it?
So the article I was reading indicated that there must have been tension from the beginning between the President and the Vice President, since there was tension between the staff of both offices. It seems that the VP Chief of Staff eclipsed the President’s Chief of Staff and that may never have been made public or even resolved.
Remember when President Biden began suffering mental lapses and seemed to be mentally absent much of the time in public? After the presidential debate with Trump, Democratic leadership and Biden’s former colleagues in both the House and Senate exerted pressure for him to terminate his bid for re-election for the good of the party and throw his support behind VP Kamala Harris. That must have been a hard pill to swallow at first. Biden readjusted his attitude going forward and did just that.
After the failed presidential campaign by VP Harris (Kamala) you’d think the pressure was off and Biden could focus on the duty at hand – being President. Not so fast. It seems that a “former” VP staffer had the audacity to suggest that Biden step aside and pass the torch to VP Harris – as a reward? After all Biden’s legacy is that he is the only one to beat Donald Trump. Harris should have a legacy of being the first woman president right? Wrong!
This selfish attitude is one of the reasons the election ended the way it did. Another reason is the fake candidate pushed upon Democratic voters. (AOC was right)! A candidate and a campaign without substance is a failing one from the start.
But the Democracy Party isn’t finished. As President Trump puts forth his nominees for the various cabinet positions TDS 2.0 requires the “ladies” (I use the term loosely) of The View, the hosts of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR and CSPAN (all I can think of at the moment) are losing it over President Trump’s picks. They are going into full panic mode and that alone tells me that the Trump B-2 is dead center over the target. (Just remember Objects in this mirror are closer than they appear.)
I don’t mean to sound cynical or as if I don’t care. I do care, really!
Like you I’m not a Trump mind reader and I don’t understand his methodology but his intent is very clear – DRAIN THE SWAMP IN DC, and now we can see that the swamp rats are squirming and they see the writing on the wall – NO MORE BUSINESS AS USUAL.
I have long felt that our government is too corrupt, bloated and has out of control spending with lots and lots of pork waste. I’m hopeful that Trump-style change can affect the needed changes – for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
I would love to see Trump move many downsized government agencies out of Washington, D.C. and relocate them into the interior of the nation where they could become more effective.
Don’t forget that Trump’s mandate was to be God’s Sword against the Spirit of Political Correctness and to restrain evil attacking the nation. – RTM
Every day we see commercials and advertisements telling us to – get paid when we say; law firms will get us the money we deserve; food additives, medications and supplements will make us feel younger, have more hair, slim-out those ugly wrinkles and on and on.
Frank Sinatra’s song “I did it my way” put that spark of forgetting the rules or in some cases common sense doing things his way got the end result he desired.
It may have worked for Frank, or maybe it was just words on the pages of a song?
Clint Eastwood’s television persona used “My way or the highway” to get his point across.
The bible tells us that God’s way is the narrow way, the only way is through the Son, Jesus Christ to the Father who is in heaven, yet we constantly want to believe that it doesn’t apply to us. In fact if we had our way nothing would apply to us, just to everyone else around us.
A little food for thought, If it were not for Jesus Christ, we would get exactly what we deserve…..death, spiritually and for eternity (longer than time). So the next time you ask, no demand what you deserve……think about that!
Salvation is a gift from God that no man may boast and that my friend is called Grace that only God can supply. Thank God for HIS Grace!
If you don’t know God, you can’t even begin to imagine what God’s grace is. Believe God is, trust that what God says is, and ask for God’s grace to fill your heart and give you peace.
God say’s his ways are higher than man’s ways. Certainly my way is not God’s way, but it’s a struggle that I have every day – make me like you Lord, make me like you! – RTM
If you believe the political hype about “Safeguarding Democracy” you must know and understand that without Freedom democracy is simply an organized government controlling the lives of its people.
The United States of America is not a democracy.
The United States of America is a Constitutional-Republic, in fact the only one in the world. It has been declared in our Declaration of Independence that All men are created equal and endowed by our creator (God – not government) with certain inalienable rights – LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
The Constitution of the United States is the Rule of Law to be upheld, defended and obeyed by all who come to our land by birth or by choice.
What Americans have endured over the past 4 years is an overpowering government trying to force democracy down the throats of Americans with mandated executive orders and government regulations that not only prohibit Americans from living out their American Dream, but requiring Americans to adhere to the constricts of those government regulations under penalty of fines and imprisonment. Unrestricted that is democracy in a nutshell.
Government is by the people, from the people and for the people. It is WE THE PEOPLE who have the final say in how we are to be governed. It is the responsibility of government to provide a safe and secure land where we can prosper, grow and raise our families.
We must all understand that when government intrudes into the lives of its people, there can be no equal justice or opportunity simply because we are individuals with differing wants, desires and needs. It is up to us to strive to achieve OUR goals with hard work and perseverance. – RTM
Failed Leadership A Review of the Joe Biden presidency
When President Biden assumed the office of the presidency he listed as his Biden-Harris Administration Immediate Priorities that he will deliver bold action and immediate relief for American families as the country grapples with converging crises. This will include actions to control the COVID-19 pandemic, provide economic relief, tackle climate change, and advance racial equity and civil rights, as well as immediate actions to reform our immigration system and restore America’s standing in the world.
With 68 days left of Joe Biden’s presidency you be the judge of how he lived up to his promises?
Did Joe Biden deliver bold action and immediate relief for American families as the country grappled with converging crises of COVID-19, economic relief, climate change, racial equality and civil rights, reforming our immigration system and restoring America’s standing in the world?
Are we better off now than we were 4 years ago?
The election of 2020 was questionable at best. The ballot harvesting, extended counting, legal challenges and the issue of January 6th were just a tip of the iceberg. It seems that voters didn’t vote for a president, but for a joint Biden-Harris administration, so that means that Americans must hold both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris jointly accountable for every detail of the presidency, right?
Isn’t the office of the Vice President a cabinet position under the President? Does the Vice President not serve at the pleasure of the President? It is her duty to put forth the agenda of the President, not her own agenda?
Kamala Harris said that she was in almost every meeting of importance with Joe Biden. Yet when asked during her campaign why she didn’t implement changes that she felt needed to be made she replied “I’m not the president” or “I’m not Joe Biden and I’m not Donald Trump” When pressed for additional information about whether there is anything she would do differently than Joe Biden, her reply was “Nothing comes to mind”.
The media has gone so far as to say that Donald Trump made Kamala Harris look worse than Hillary Clinton [in 2016]. I beg to differ. Kamala Harris is solely responsible for the way she looked.
What I gather from reading various articles, watching televised appearances and doing my own evaluation is that while Joe Biden failed to take an active leadership role in his own administration it has led to a breakdown of trust and increased contempt by his own party that rivals the contempt of Donald Trump expressed by Democratic Party surrogates and both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
The Democratic Party rule over the American people has gotten out of control to the point that any form of respect has been replaced with widespread contempt of normalcy or common sense.
American voters are not stupid! They want to be treated as if they matter, and they do. In fact the Constitution says so and the Declaration of Independence makes it clear that an out of control government can be replaced.
Politicians can and should be replaced when they stop being public servants. Joe Biden’s lengthy career in Congress, the office of the Vice Presidency and as President of the United States is a perfect example of someone who may have gone into politics for the right reasons, but his quest for power would not allow him to simply step aside at the height of his “game”.
What I feel led to his downfall and ineffectiveness is related directly to the DNC leadership and Joe Biden’s presidential handlers and his immediate family. They should have not pressed for him to run for president and/or reelection. I call that elder abuse and yes it is a crime! – RTM
There is still an underlying “Safeguarding Democracy” resistance movement within the Democratic Party when it comes to President-Elect Trump’s second term as President. What American’s may not realize is that the organization stems from and is fueled by “The Democratic Governors Association” composed of the governors of 32 Democratic lead states as well as Progressive Congressional Democrats.
They justify themselves in resisting the GOP agenda which according to them endangers their autonomy as governors of independent states concerned for the welfare of their state, it’s citizens, their residents and their democracy (paraphrasing a recent phrase of the Massachusetts governor). These sentiments are parroted almost word for word by Democratic governors of Blue States.
Might I remind anyone who is in doubt that public safety of American citizens is the responsibility of government (federal and states).
I find it unconscionable for the Department Of Justice or agencies of the federal government to interfere with federal, state, county or city law enforcement agencies during the enforcement of US law.
What I also find unacceptable are elected or appointed government officials who routinely ignore the enforcement US law or who go after US citizens engaged in protecting themselves, their families or others at home or in public places when being assaulted by criminals.
It seems to me that organizations such as The Democratic Governors Association or the Progressive Democratic Party or any other organization who incite resistance, looting, rioting or assault on individuals and government leaders should be cited under conspiracy statutes, sedition or other applicable federal laws where prosecution and imprisonment is an applicable punitive action.
As we celebrate Veteran’s Day 2024 the Democratic Party is focused not on paying tribute to our nation’s veterans, but are locked in a game of “Whack-A-Dem” over why Kamala lost the election.
I kid you not!
It was bad enough that the democratic think tank brains dug Biden and Harris out of last place in the 2020 democratic debates to make them the winning team to beat Trump, and when poised to do it again Biden was yanked to the curb and hastily replaced by Kamala as the new face of the democratic party to wage a losing war against Trump in 2024. Pelosi recently said that Biden should have dropped out of the race for reelection sooner.
There are Harris staffers expressing the absurd, “Biden resign so that Harris can be crowned President”. This late in the game it only goes to show how radically selfish and demented they have become with no respect within their own party.
There is a process whereby VP Kamala Harris could argue that Joe Biden is unable to perform his duties as president, get it verified by a number of cabinet secretaries and she would become the first ever Black East Indian female “TEMPORARY” President in American history.
Has anybody thought of that? It was tried by then House Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer when they tried to get VP Pence to enact the 25th Amendment on his boss President Trump but Pence didn’t buy into it.
With all the outlandish, dastardly things to come out of the minds of democrats it wouldn’t surprise me to hear from the Oval Office President Joe Biden borrow a Trump line and say to Vice President Kamala Harris. “YOU’RE FIRED” and finish out his term without a Vice President like Nixon did without Agnew.
It’s clear that the Democratic Party has not only abandoned the working men and women of our nation, but they have abandoned their own “HEAD” of the Democratic Party – Fiery Joe Biden, #46th President of the United States while he sits in the Oval Office. – RTM
