This is not a “throwback Thursday” kind of article, but maybe it really is.
Our nation was founded on the rights of people to choose where to worship God, what job or profession to make their life’s work, who to marry; where to raise their family; how to defend themselves; what kind of government to have; and where and when to take a break or retire from the daily hustle and bustle of life.
In today’s political climate there is one presidential candidate who wants to shrink government, while the other candidate wants to grow government even larger with more regulations and regulatory agencies to crack the whip. You don’t even have to be a really smart person to know which one is for the working class and which one is after the money of the working class.
One candidate offers incentives (tax breaks for all Americans) while the other offers opportunities (for handouts – but only if you’re black).
Let me say this. Forget the political ads that attack the character of their opponent, but rather look at their political track record of accomplishments.
Measure what each candidate’s promises whether you are better are now than you were 4 years ago? – RTM
As happens in politics and in particular with presidential elections the mud-slinging is of epic proportions. Both party candidate campaigns use soundbites and often false statements with claims to stir up hate and dissention toward their political opponents.
The primary way to determine whether claims are valid is to weigh it against a candidate’s political record. One claim being propagated by the Harris campaign is that Trump wants a military that is loyal to him, instead of the Constitution.
This sounds like what then Speaker Pelosi thought back around January 6th when she made sure that National Guard troops sent to the Capitol Building were NOT Trump supporters. In fact Pelosi thought the military oath of office had to be changed, but that proved to be untrue. The oath of office REQUIRES enlisted military personnel to swear/affirm to protect and defend the CONSTITUTION against ALL enemies both foreign and domestic and obey the orders of the President and the officers assigned over them.
So the Kamala Harris claim is totally false.
Another claim being propagated by the Harris campaign is that Trump offered to pay the funeral expenses of an American soldier Vanessa Robinson was murdered at Fort Hood, Texas in 2020….until he found out the funeral would cost $50,000, when in fact Trump said that if the military wouldn’t pay for the funeral he would pick up ALL expenses.
So this Harris team claim is totally false.
Another claim being propagated by the Harris campaign is that Trump does not believe in the Constitution and therefore wants to be a dictatorial President. During the 4 years of the Trump presidency is there evidence to support this claim? Absolutely not, in fact Trump never took a salary, but donated it to various government agencies as he saw fit.
This Harris claim is also false.
Still another claim being propagated by the Harris campaign is that Trump supports a national tax on imported goods. When in fact Trump supports using a tariff against other countries who charge a tariff on US exported goods. The Harris team claims that tariffs will make things more expensive, when in fact tariffs make US manufactured goods more desirable and affordable. Factories moving back onto American soil benefit from lower taxes, as do American consumers.
This Harris claim is also false.
Kamala Harris claims that during her reign as Vice President she got the southern border under control and border crossings are down over the past 3 ½ years. When in fact the Biden/Harris administration opened the border to more than 20 million migrants, moved them into cities and states across the country with no accountability or way to monitor their “assimilation” into our society. Harris has enabled the use of federal tax dollars to support many of these migrants making the US a welfare nation, where benefits are withheld from US citizens who find themselves homeless.
This Harris claim is also false.
The narrative of the Harris campaign is to demean, mislead and misspeak about the Donald Trump, his presidency and his patriotism in order to sway undecided voters. Her catering to black voters is also demeaning and taking them for granted, just to get their vote.
Just remember that Kamala Harris is first and foremost a lawyer (liar) who will smile as she stabs you in the back and make you pay for it. Her party’s goal is not to follow the Constitution, but to actually change the Constitution. The Progressive Democratic Party has authored documents that would make our Constitutional-Republic become a Constitutional-Democracy, which would be devastating to our country.
Another Harris team AND Biden White House claim is that if elected Donald Trump said he will be a dictator and use the military as his personal army to go against his political enemies. When in fact when asked about this claim Trump said, On day one he will be a dictator and close the border, drill baby drill and begin deportations of illegal, undocumented migrants beginning with the violent ones (Paraphrased). Trump has never said he will use the military against Americans or on American soil, although he had expressed an interest in using the military to guard the southern border to stop infiltration of people, drugs, guns and human trafficking.
This Harris claim is partially true, and majorly false.
Protecting and Defending the Constitution is a must for EVERY American. – RTM
Remember the old westerns when an attack upon the wagon train was imminent? The scout would come rapidly riding in and tell the wagonmaster that angry hostiles were on the horizon. The wagonmaster would give the order to “Circle the wagons”. In short order the wagons formed a perimeter (a wall) shielding the wagon train, people, animals and wagons as they prepared for the onslaught of an impending attack. During the attack it was “all hands on deck” as weapons were positioned to cover every side and all able bodied men, women and children were either firing at the enemy or carrying ammunition to those who were. At night fall the enemy carried off their dead and wounded.
That’s the way Hollywood portrayed life on the Oregon Trail and in the old west.
Today we recognize that was then and this is now where Hollywood has a whole new role in portraying good as evil and evil as good and our culture is totally hooked on what is politically correct.
We rally against ending abortion when it clearly is destroying our society and future generations of men and women who never left the abortion tables alive.
We scream for just and fair treatment of people who want to be free to do as they please, when and where they please without anybody telling them they are doing anything wrong as biological men compete with biological women in competitive sports and disrobe in women’s locker rooms without fear or shame.
In politics we have Hollywood superstars, icons and “super heroes” hawking the wares of those political elites who treat everyone not as equals but as a class far below their superior intelligence. We are told that there are good politicians and there are bad politicians. FALSE (Fact Checked by me).
There are politicians who once elected remain silent in order to blend in or are emboldened to hoist their opinions so blatantly on other politicians thereby creating their own “team” or “squad” for personal or political gain.
There are politicians who believe strongly in the Constitution as being written with biblical rights and wrongs and have promised to do everything in their power to uphold, strengthen and defend the Constitution against ALL ENEMIES, both foreign and domestic.
Contrary to the political hype of the democratic leftist politicians it is “THE ENEMY FROM WITHIN” that is a danger to our nation. That enemy is clearly the political party and its proxies who either ignore or find ways around the Constitution (the law of our land) or as the Democratic Party advocating for changing the United States from a Constitutional-Republic into a Constitutional-Democracy that is contrary to what our founding fathers envisioned before writing the Constitution of the United States.
The current political climate have surrounded the Constitution with political hype, misinformation and untruths that blur the meaning and intent to those who have surrendered themselves to this political super blitz.
The Constitution is clear that voting is a right of citizenship. PERIOD!
Residency (legal or illegal) is not equal to citizenship.
Voting is controlled by each state through voter registration registers that verify each voter’s citizenship and eligibility to vote. When those roles are inaccurate or out of date so is the entire voter registration system. Ballots must be received by 8:00 pm on Election Day. Ballots must be verified against the voter registration register (database). Ballots must be counted on Election Day.
Another important part of the voting process is the Electoral College votes for each state, which are to be cast, certified, forwarded to Congress and verified on January 6th by a joint session of Congress BEFORE a presidential candidate is confirmed as the President-Elect.
A presidential candidate may contest the results of an election and follow the prescribed process until the joint session of Congress has certified a President-Elect.
Those are the rules.
So when you see any anomalies in the voting process and/or a presidential candidate declaring him/herself as the President-Elect BEFORE the process is completed you can ASSUME that candidate is NOT what they claim to be.
The time to “Circle the Wagons” is now. Watch the polling place near you to see if there be any interference in the voting process, including but not limited to Candidates at the polling place (a major no no).
As I said voting is a right of citizenship. Non-citizens cannot legally vote. – RTM
What comes to mind when you see or hear someone say “Build the Wall”?
Come on man?
Think…..
What if it’s at a Kamala Harris campaign rally, Pelosi’s Temple of Democracy or wrapped around the huge BLUE WALL democratic Harris/Walz campaign bus?
Do you get the same feeling of pride coming together that comes from a Trump rally?
Before January 6th President Trump urged Speaker Pelosi to call for stationing the DC National Guard in case of trouble. Nancy said No, Optics would look bad. Yet on January 6th calls went out for National Guard troops to form a barrier (a wall) around the Capital Building and after vetting NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS ALERTED FROM ACROSS THE NATION to prevent National Guard Trump Supporters/Sympathizers from being sent to Washington, the “temple” was secured.
So don’t give me that Walls don’t matter. We all have “walls” around our property, our money, even our feelings (what will somebody say).
And for our nation’s leaders to recognize that drugs, guns and human trafficking are bad for America to open our nation’s border crossings or circumvent natural migration by airlifting unknown quantities of foreigners into undisclosed locations inside our nation’s interior is not only not smart, but unconscionable! Yet that is precisely what President Biden & VP Harris have orchestrated and set into motion knowing full well it is bad for our nation and unusually bad for those migrants who have been plucked out of their home countries and set down in ours without a plan or willingness to contribute by assimilation into our nation. They were brought here as indentured servants for a song and a dance and free stuff that is ultimately paid for on the backs of hard working Americans.
It’s been said that a nation without borders (walls) is not a nation at all! – Unknown
So think about that as you move about your daily life routine.
We have a tremendous amount of homeless citizens in virtually every major city in our country that get NO HELP from the government agencies/programs hijacked by the illegal alien’s welfare system where it is a hand out, not a hand up.
The same is true during this recent hurricane hitting several southern states where under Biden/Harris FEMA has no funds for those affected by the storm because they have spent it on unlawful migrants.
No man is an island. Walls have two primary purposes – protect the inhabitants and keep trouble out.
How about doing a Google search in YOUR STATE to find out where your elected officials live. Then go to see for yourself what kind of “WALL” they have erected around that which they treasure most. You might just be surprised. – RTM
It was comical in a way when a Fox journalist went on the street in Detroit asking voters what they thought of Kamala and Trump and who they were voting for? In particular one black woman said to give Kamala a chance. When told that Kamala was already in office as VP this same woman said to give her another chance.
During the Fox interview when asked about her policies Kamala said anyone could go to her website kamalaharris.com and see for themselves what she promises if elected. Well I decided to check the website for myself and after sifting through the popup, the ads and opening a couple of tabs I found that Kamala is promising “the moon” to black men.
So much for running as a president for ALL Americans!
It seems to me that saying, doing or being anything for everyone is the new path forward when it comes to political vote getting.
Why can’t Kamala simply say I’m for this, this and this or I’m against this and this, rather than her fallback position of DONALD TRUMP the cause of all that is wrong in America under her watch as Vice President?
I know American’s think that we deserve a woman president. That may be true, but not at this time and surely not this woman. Kamala Harris is from the same stamp as Hillary Clinton and self-gratifying woman lawyer (liar) wanting all the glory but none of the work to get there or how to be a successful president for the American people.
Kamala has had a White House staffing issue where she doesn’t appreciate those working for her or doesn’t trust them, much the same as Hillary bossing around her secret service detail and demanding not to see anyone in military uniform in the White House as first lady.
Potentially either would be a disaster for America.
Don’t be fooled by a number of RINO’s (republican in name only) who have jumped on the Harris-Walz blue wall bus, they are or have been those “Never Trumpers” who were in the Trump administration but resisted and/or were active in the coup attempting to take #45 down politically and not to be taken seriously. – RTM
At the gym this morning I expected pushback by major news outlets over President Trump’s roasting prominent Democrats during the Catholic Al Smith Charity Dinner reminiscent of Dean Martin roasts of yesteryear.
While seeing Trump speaking on Fox & Friends (couldn’t hear sound) the nearby Confused Cable Network (CNN) began saying that Trump told F&Fs that some Fox News writers had written some of his jokes for the dinner.
As I began reading it suddenly dawned on me that even after 9+ years CNN has no idea how to cover Trump so while broadcasting live they too are avid watchers of F&Fs. Who would have thought?
But then I’m reminded that it was CNN who broadcast live from a secret location in Kuwait the Iraq invasion as battler ready troops were coming off landing craft to chase Saddam Husain’s army all the way back to the Iraqi border. This irresponsible action by CNN put many American lives in danger so they could promote their exclusive “scoop”.
After all these years couldn’t news organizations across America have the ability or intelligence to recruit actual journalist, reporters and news anchors who can go out and investigate rather than taking cheap shots or sound bites to feed an audience?
I’m sure Fox News welcomes their CNN viewers to Fox & Friends. – RTM
Kamala Harris says Donald Trump has divided the country with his unsound and unhinged mind and rhetoric about Trump wanting unlimited power and is prepared to launch the military against his political enemies. Kamala constantly harps on Trump talking about the enemy within inferring the American people are that enemy. Kamala is no stranger to name dropping of prominent republicans who support her and openly call Trump deranged and unfit to serve as president again.
If that makes you want to go out and vote democrat then I challenge you to ask “What about Kamala?”
What about her you say? Harris is younger, a minority female and a lifelong California lawyer who has taken great pleasure as a district attorney in keeping prisoners locked up so as to be used to fight massive California wildfires.
As a California Senator Kamala fully backed defund the police, the new green deal and was against virtually everything President Trump backed. Kamala verbally disrespected federal judges who became nominated by Trump to the Supreme Court during their confirmation hearings. Kamala sided with the Congressional Black Caucus on matters of repatriations and their self-appointed “race police” in their anti-racism in government quest. Kamala even initiated bail for violent protestors of the riots in Minneapolis.
As Vice President Kamala claims to help President Biden make every major decision because it was the agreement/understanding they had after being sworn into office. Therefore as Biden’s designated “Border Czar” she bears total responsibility for opening the southern border to hordes of invading migrants bringing disease, drugs, human trafficking and worse – criminal aliens into our country. Kamala alone owns the blame for doing nothing to stem the tide or attempting to shut the border, yet she claims she is going to do that on day one if she is elected.
Kamala shares responsibility for the Afghanistan surrender and abandonment of US citizens, military assets and our allied partners and the death of US service members that fateful day in 2021.
Kamala shares the blame for glossing over the fact that President Biden’s diminished mental faculties were kept hidden from the public the entire time he has been in office. It is well within her constitutional powers as VP to initiate a 25th Amendment proceedings to remove Biden from office, yet she failed to do it.
Kamala seized on the opportunity when the DNC’s chose her as their best candidate against President Trump in the 2024 election without receiving a single committee vote. Kamala has no plan, no ambition and no idea what it will be like to become president, yet she has no hesitation in telling outright lies, speculation and political untruths in her bid to stop Trump.
Kamala has insulted the black community by catering to people who are “supposed” to vote for her because of their skin color and by attempting to bribe black men into voting for her for the same reason.
Shouldn’t the path ahead lead to a different place than the path behind? I mean political soundbites should be of encouragement, hope for the future and what lies ahead. So far what I hear from Kamala Harris is Americans are tired of the rhetoric of Donald Trump who gives no path forward, right? That’s what Kamala wants us to believe, but her words seem to be stuck soundly in Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).
Whenever asked what is her plan – moving forward Kamala gives a “let me be clear” filibustorial answer that rambles on without providing anything solid or actionable that makes our country better with or without Trump.
Trump on the other hand tells voters of all parties to do their research, look at the track record of Kamala Harris, listen to her own words and it WILL BECOME CLEAR that Kamala is not suited nor competent to continue serving as vice president, let alone as president.
If voters want a more stable environment at home or abroad they should elect Trump because he has the knowhow and experience to make our country better than ever before. – RTM
We are 3 weeks away from the most important election in the history of the United States and the political name calling is rising to a crescendo of major proportions.
VP Kamala Harris says that Trump is “dangerous” “unstable” “unhinged” “unfit to be president”.
President Donald Trump says that Harris is “incompetent as Vice President” and “too stupid to serve as president”.
So who do you believe?
Harris promises black male voters a great opportunity – but to do what? Vote for her or against Trump?
Harris says she cannot take black male voters for granted, but what about taking every black vote for granted already? They are expected to vote democrat BECAUSE they are black. How does that make any sense?
Trump urges ALL voters to consider his record against Harris’ record. What has Trump done FOR Americans versus what has Harris done TO Americans.
Harris was a major proponent of the defund the police movement, the bail out the violent ANTIFA rioters in Minneapolis movement, and who was vocally outspoken hurling insults at Trump Supreme Court nominees during their congressional hearings? Harris refused to speak up against the anti-Israel demonstrators as they became violent and shouted “death to Israel, Death to America” in the streets of American cities across the nation? As Vice President who was named the “Border Czar” by President Biden, but did absolutely nothing to stem the migrant invasion flow across the southern border, but promises to “fix it” as president. Harris has done more to divide America along social, political, racial and class with her wit and her smile.
Need I say more?
Trump is an advocate for stopping the systematic destruction of America through reckless and needless spending without limitations, unending regulations and executive order mandates, and the weaponizaton of various (non-law enforcement) government agencies (LAWFARE) against ordinary citizens and the unlawful invasion of America by unvetted or unchecked migrants. Trump is strong on building the economy, securing the border and shoring up our military. Trump’s record in world affairs is second to no one. Trump has taken NOBODY for granted and encourages everyone to vote smartly. Trump is the only candidate who openly strives to Make America Great Again and it drives the progressive left crazy (Trump Derangement Syndrome).

Not that long ago my brother informed me that our family tree stemmed from some dirt farmers (potatoes really) from Scotland, who migrated from England to Scotland at the bequest of the king.
When 3 Wilson brothers arrived on the shores of the new world they brought their written heritage showing they were in fact of the “Gunn Clan”. One brother turned south towards North Carolina, while the other two brothers came west with one settling in Southwestern Idaho. That is the part of the clan that my lineage is traced to. The motto of the Gunn Clan is “Either Peace or War”.
It’s gratifying to know that when a man, a family, a tribe or a nation is properly prepared, it matters little whether to plow or dig trenches. When our nation was divided during the Civil War years it was not fashionable to take sides against slavery and when taking an active part in the Underground Railroad, Quakers quite often excommunicated those violators. Undeterred our family simply moved further west and started over taking what they had and built upon it. In our case we were pig farmers. Well it was more than that we were prize winning Hog Farmers who took great pride in raising the best award winning Hogs in the area or state. You can tell a lot about a man by the pride he takes in the animals he raises.
During WWII 3 Wilson brothers in Southwestern Idaho all joined the US Navy and proudly served before settling down to raise their families in peace all the while knowing that the possibility of war was just around the corner.
When dad died in 2019 he was the last of the Wilson’s Navy brothers and as the world was at war on terrorism and he was living peacefully at the state Veteran’s Home in Boise, Idaho. Yet up until the end he was aware that peace not easily won must be defended. He left behind patriotic sons and grandchildren several of whom had served during the Cold War and the War on Terrorism, each capable of stepping up should the time arise for “Either Peace or War”.
The greatest threat to America’s Constitutional Republic and Democracy is not the prominent super-powers we are told, but from within, citizens and residents alike who feel that life isn’t fair and they have the answer.
They do not!
Our greatest threat is uninformed or misguided American’s who have been conditioned (brain washed) into believing that the only way to make things fair is to take our nation to its proverbial knees, collapse our economy and then when there are no rich versus poor, everyone will be equal and life will be fair.
It will not!
We have seen third world nations collapse under the same political ideology and tactics that have been used here in America. These are prolonged often long term tactics designed to destabilize and destroy and the funny part (not funny) is that our own government agencies have been engineering and facilitating it.
Gaslighting is a tactic of conditioning someone until the truth becomes false and reality is no more. Political Gaslighting is a long term prolonging of truth bending (lying) until everyone simply submits.
Man was born with a brain, but each one must exercise that brain not only with knowledge, but with common sense knowing the difference between and the consequences of right and wrong actions.
I urge you to do just that, know the difference, do and be the difference.
