Ten Weeks

As we approach the November 5^th 2024 Presidential Election it would seem that the train has literally run off its tracks. Vice President Harris is ditching her main ride = AF 2 for a tour bus across Georgia. Her campaign strategy is simple = get elected before giving her official policy statement. It drives the right leaning media crazy while the left leaning media surrogates put out bits and pieces of “what she said then isn’t where she stands now” statements. In the meantime keep on flashing those pearly whites and wave, wave, wave.

On the other hand former President Trump is holding Harris fully accountable for her actions as vice president under Biden where a bad decision by them led to 13 Americans dead, and hundreds, if not thousands of Afghanistan allies and their families were left stranded in the hands of the Taliban in 2021. Harris’ public policies say she is against basically everything that Trump is for.

Both candidates know the importance of a secure border, one has insured it remains open, the other promises to shut the door on day one. One candidate believes that abortion is wrong, but a federal mandate is not the answer because that responsibility is and should be in the hands of state governments; the other believes abortion is health care for women’s choices. The Constitution guarantees the right to life and the bible tells us “thou shalt not kill” but those seem to be suggestions that can be bent for personal preferences.

The economy is great according to Team Harris, while ALL Americans are affected financially in all aspects of daily life by the current Biden/Harris policies, which she has sort of promised to fix, (but not really).

Team Trump has been there, done that and knows exactly what to do, but voters don’t trust him because mainly they’ve been told not to (and remember he tweets too much).

The world seems to be headed downhill like an out of control train with nobody at the controls, but all that will change in just ten short weeks…… yeah right! – RTM

Do Not Erase Our History

The history of the United States of America is more than 240 years old and began as the first settlers sought refuge in the New World and were introduced to the inhabitants who were already here. Land was cleared, homes were built and settlements established as people simply wanted to live and freely worship God without government interference. Many hardships were encountered, battles fought, wars won and lost, but the quest for freedom never died.

Over time the wild frontier was tamed and expansion saw towns and villages could be found from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to the north and to Mexico to the south. Slaves and workers were introduced to work the fields, build factories and cities established and states were formed as our nation grew.

There was a time when government pushed so hard and our nation became divided into an all-out Civil War. The fight wasn’t simply over slavery, but over differing interpretations of the rights and privileges held dear in the Constitution and the right of citizens to prevent government interference.

Over time statues and monuments were formed to memorialize the men and women who fought every step of the way forging ahead. As a nation we have lost our way, our moral compass. There are those who have become “offended”, and have demanded the tearing down of manmade monuments and statues while others have passed laws demanding the renaming of US military installations.

 This is wrong.

History does not change because someone is offended or doesn’t like what they see or read in the history books. To recognize modern time heroes is one thing, but do so by creating new monuments or statues dedicated to their memory. It is equally wrong to erect statues or monuments to current or recently deceased lifetime politicians because of political correctness.

Tearing down and/or defacing statues or monuments is still a federal crime.

Public service is just that = Serving the Public.

Public Service is not serving self, any political party or elected office. – RTM

Stupider than I

I was raised in a family of dirt farmers in Southwestern Idaho in the 50s’ & 60’s. We lived for a time in a converted chicken coup next to a ditch bank in Homedale. I was the oldest of my three brothers and at first I rode my little bicycle to school. Our family all worked the fields harvesting crops during the summer. My dad was a crew boss who managed and worked alongside a number of regular migrant workers. Nobody told us we were poor, but we were family and always had more than enough.

When harvesting potatoes we little guys were out front shaking the vines knocking the dirt clods and potatoes free. As we got bigger we donned the belts of the pickers and drug those burlap bags as we filled them with potatoes. When I was big enough I began steering the spud truck as dad bucked two one hundred pound bags over his head and onto the back of the truck. Mom was the driver who took us 4 boys in tow and headed to Simplot’s scales and shed to be unloaded.

We picked other crops too, strawberries, peaches, apples, corn – whatever crops were ready Mondays through Fridays. On Saturdays we went for a burger, fries and a coke at the Dew Drop Inn and over to the theater to watch a Tarzan movie or those horror movies like The Blob. We also got our 25 cent chocolate-dip cone at the Frosty Palace and sometimes ended up at the park where we climbed all over the Sherman tank. On Sundays we went to Sunday school at the Nazarene church.  

We learned right from wrong and I remember the time I tried stealing a pair of leather gloves I got caught and after being punished at home I was made to go back into the store and apologize to the manager.

Life was much simpler back then.

So what happened? In society today it is common practice for someone to take something just because they can, and if they get caught it’s often not even a slap on the hand. Lying is considered normal behavior and mistreating animals is grounds for immediate punishment, but killing babies by abortion is to be seen as a woman’s right to choose or called health care.

I was never called the brightest bulb in the box but even I know that the 10 Commandments are but guidelines to follow simply because God said so. There is no amount of justification to break even one on purpose.

I know that God loves me and I can humble myself before him and ask forgiveness. I know that because I know God hears me, he has promised to forgive me. That means I simply do an about face, turn from my wicked ways and not repeat the sin I’ve been forgiven of.

It’s mindboggling that people feel they can outsmart God or do something behind his back or in the dark and nobody is the wiser. (What is done in darkness will be brought out to the light).

I’ve had people get offended when I tell them I hate stupid or have no patience for stupid people doing stupid things, I really don’t – but God does!

As hard as it may seem, it is impossible to be too stupid for God.

God loves you just the way he created you and no you are not a mistake. Ask God to forgive you, place all your trust in him and ask God to become your Lord and Savior. Do it today. Do it now. – RTM

Stay on Script They Say

There is one constant in a MAGA rally – President Donald Trump. Over the years his message hasn’t changed very much and this is where the public get to see “Trump the entertainer” in action, adlibbing and going off on a seemingly endless rant against his political opponents and those who threaten the welfare of our nation.

There is the tender side to Trump highlighted during the RNC Convention where the public saw and heard from Trump family members talking about Dad and Grandpa. It touched the very soul of our nation.

And there is the fighter side of Trump that was clearly visible during the Butler, PA rally when a 22-year old would be assassin fired at Trump from a rooftop, striking him on the right side of his head, just above his ear. Flying projectiles killed one rally goer and injured two more before a secret service sniper ended the carnage with a single one in a million shot.

America saw the humanly rational side of Trump when he sat down for a live conversation with Elon Musk. It was a side that the public rarely if almost never saw before.

And we all saw the logical side of Trump after the secret coup that turned President Biden into a lame duck president just five months before the 2024 Presidential Election, when CA (D) former house speaker Nancy Pelosi and others exerted enormous pressure to get Biden to withdraw from his bid for reelection for the good of the Democratic Party and back Vice President Harris’s run for the presidency.

President Trump called it like it was a coup. It was orchestrated to remove the Biden liability so that an even worse Harris liability could take advantage of confused democratic voters in what is supposed to be a slam dunk over Trump. Democrats and even Republican talking heads say that Trump must change his tactics and not attack his opponent personally but to stay on script (message) attacking her record.

I beg to differ, as vice president – Kamala Harris owns the failed record of Joe Biden as well as her failure as the appointed border czar (Biden used the same term “Czar” that his former boss Barack Obama used during his presidency) and by extension Obama’s failures as president).

The media blitz given the re-branding of Kamala Harris focused on her failed prosecutorial career, while totally ignoring her failures as vice president. To date there have been no policy announcements, simply empty promises like raising taxes on corporations, raising the minimum wage for “hospitility” workers, knowing the importance of securing the border (California has a border wall) and promising to be the president of ALL Americans (except Trump, Kennedy, MAGA or GOP).

That leaves no positive record as vice president, is thats what Trump is supposed to talk about?

America is seeing the forward thinking side of Trump during his Arizona Rally when former Democrat, turned Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. who ended his campaign and threw his full support for Trump was introduced as an ally to join forces as a coalition to end corruption in various government agencies as well as to release the still secret records of the JFK assassination.

It should be obvious that the Democratic Party put all they had into hyping up the DNC Convention in Chicago with nothing but lies to raise already low expectations while providing nothing of substance for voters of any party, except a host of big names and big money to talk trash about Donald Trump.

Americans deserve better, much, much better. – RTM

High Stakes Political Fluff

What is my takeaway from the DNC Convention in Chicago?

The entire affair was simply a lot of adulation about nothing. There were no tangible tidbits that sparked hope and joy. While we waited for something we could sink our teeth into America got nothing.

In fact America got hoodwinked (google it).

Among all the glamour and glitz in the way of entertainment, entertainers, famous names and faces, former presidents and first ladies and the democratic elites and the super rich tooting the same tune-

The Harris/Walz ticket is for ALL Americans (unless you are Trump, MAGA or GOP).

Democrats are the party for Democracy and freedom.

Look around, under Biden/Harris the economy is great, the border is secure, the world is at peace (except for pesky Israel not submitting to constant threats and pressured to end the suffering in Gaza that is being caused by Hamas).

Is that about it?

No, but in America there are those Americans standing in the way of “familial genocide”, but “We trust women” for reproductive health that is intentionally killing for any reason our nation’s future generations.

According to democratic nominee Kamala Harris she is “charting a new path forward for America”.

That’s concerning to me because the path America is currently on is not healthy for anyone, and Harris is responsible and contributed directly to it. So when all the glitter is gone, and the trappings go away America is left with not only unfilled empty promises but under a Harris administration America will feel the pain, and like never before.

Mark my words! – RTM

Ode to Princess Kammy

If the rise of John Kennedy to the presidency showcased America’s Camelot couple, then by extension the rise of Kamala Harris to the Democratic presidential nominee could be seen as the coronation of America’s homegrown princess. The Cinderella story of a working girl from the hood flipping burgers at Mickey Dee’s with sights set on moving into the White House in Washington, D.C.

Thanks to Democratic Party politics what we have been experiencing during the past few weeks and months also amounts to the funeral of a living president (Joe Biden) even before his life or term have ended and his eulogy by former house speaker Nancy Pelosi praising Joe Biden’s presidency is but one more nail in his political coffin.

In stark contrast we have seen team Harris/Walz for what they really are – committed democrats not afraid to extol the evils of Donald Trump while glossing over or sugarcoating their own virtues with a political cloak of secrecy.

With the Obamas and the Clintons and all of the wealthy and celebrity speakers telling us about Kamala Harris, none have shown more clearly who she is than the words she has failed to deliver about herself or her campaign promise “we’re not going back”, “forgetting what lies behind and focusing on what lies ahead” tell us more than Oprah’s “decency and respect” and “common sense over nonsense” speech which seem to have been come from a Trump rally. In fact Trump’s name has been spoken more than 300 times at the convention and by democratic surrogates instead of how the Harris/Walz campaign for ALL Americans intends to bring everyone together for the common good.

Team Harris/Walz has given American voters simply more lies about Trump but nothing about Harris’ presidential policy on abortion, and the border, economy, national defense or world affairs. Where exactly does she stand on matters of substance?

I must remind everyone this party of decency and respect has shown neither to members of their own party – President Joe Biden’s “telling voters you are not black enough” (his words), RFK Jr “he has been carrying water for Trump and is funded by MAGA” and while crying out against racial imbalance have yet to show tolerance for reconciliation or unification unless it’s under their party’s terms.

The United States of America is not a democracy (like the Democratic Party would have you to believe), it is a Constitutional-Republic (where the Constitution IS THE RULE OF LAW) not to be broken by any political party, government agency or private individual without consequences. Nobody is above the law, not even princess Kammy!

Unity begins not with government, rules or regulations, but with YOU and ME! We call ourselves Americans (as do citizens from North, Central and South American nations), we are created equal by our creator, yet in this country we respect the rule of law, honor and respect each other and have freedom to own and bear arms, worship God and live in peace and security while pursuing the American Dream.

FREEDOM – FROM THE WOMB TO THE TOMB! – RTM

Exceeding Low Expectations

The Democratic National Convention taking place at the United Center in Chicago is a hub of bustling excitement where all the “D’s” in Democrat are gathering to solidify the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris vying to be the first woman president. After obtaining the expected delegates Kamala’s immediate goal is to convince voters that she is “The One” to beat former president Donald Trump.

Nothing else matters!

Not the protestors outside the convention center or the hastily assembled security barrier (fence) to keep them out; not the security screening of prospective attendees (they probably needed proper identification (state or federal) in order to get past security agents; not the fact that Chicagoans are being murdered on the streets of Chicago and right outside.

And apparently not even having an agenda (or idea) of why Kamala should be elected or what she will do for (or to) all the people she is courting for their votes. Team Harris/Walz have put forth no talking points, no organized plan, nothing except the campaign of “Hope and Joy”……..

Wasn’t Obama’s 2006 campaign slogan “Hope and Change”? How exactly did that work out? Remember Obamacare ie The Affordable Care Act where congress had to pass it to find out what it did?

The only thing that matters is beating Trump.

So here’s what we know Democrats are proud and I mean proud of Abortions. So proud that there is even a Planned Parenthood mobile abortion clinic set up outside the event center to do abortions and vasectomy’s (castrations) – take a number.

Don’t worry because the mental castrations are done inside.

In case you didn’t already know Hawaii is the first state to legalize abortions, pass healthcare for all and is the birthplace of Barack Obama…….how nice!

This morning I saw a woman who fled Texas for an emergency abortion and they were saying that an abortion ban is not pro-family – tell that to the aborted!

So Hope and Joy must be hoping that Harris can beat Trump and oh what Joy that will be……..?

If I seem sarcastic – I am and if that offends you so be it.

What America is seeing is a convention of no measurable goals, no expectations and nothing presented thus far to lift up our nation to become a safer, more secure leader of the free world. What is in our future should we continue on this trajectory is a nation internally torn apart equal only to Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba, China, Russia and many other nations who’s succumbed to “Hope and Joy”.

I sure do Hope Kammy has a plan, and that she lets America in on it BEFORE the election otherwise KAMMYCARE will be to the people and not for the people. Mr. Kammy (2^nd Gentleman) has said that “Empathy” is Kamala’s greatest strength.

Well sir Empathy will not put money in the bank, pay the bills or raise America to new heights. You may have put your family’s future in Kamala’s hands, but my family and America deserve better. – RTM

The Lies We Tell Ourselves

From the sound bites on cable TV the DNC Convention is more like a New Orleans funeral. President Biden came to endorse VP Harris, and tell everyone that Trump has a problem. While the audience goes gaga over the career California prosecutor as the best thing democrats have going for them. Even Hillary refers to Harris as the gauge of how far women have come in politics. If elected Harris will become the first woman president (a spot Hillary had claimed for herself in 2006 & 2016) and when Hillary spoke of Trump’s legal woes the crowd began chanting “Lock him up, lock him up” as Hillary smiled in approval.

Not to sound morbid but this convention reeks like a funeral pyre with all the praise and honor of Harris’ past accomplishments and future endeavors on behalf of working men and women of which there are a great many qualified to hold the top elected office, but like Harris & Hillary – not everyone should especially when they place politics over public safety or national defense.

The “elephant in the room” seems to be the protestors outside the convention, emboldened by Democratic Party politics which affect every segment of Chicago from the streets to the convention and they say crime is on the decline. You wouldn’t know that by the lack of an officially stated democratic response to lawlessness or by the Convention’s theme of “Hope and Joy” or by the Convention being surrounded by at least three (3) “security” barrier walls to keep protestors outside. (Maybe Harris should let Chicago lead the charge of finishing that wall on the US/Mexico border)?

There have been four people who spoke of the effects that they “suffered” by a ban on abortion, yet nobody spoke for the aborted. Shame on you all! I submit to you that the aborted are our future, lost forever by bending a knee to the god of choice. I don’t see how anyone who calls God their father can approve of or otherwise condone abortion for any reason.

But that is not the unpardonable sin – however choosing not to believe in Jesus Christ is! America must awake from her slumber and compare everything and everyone against the Word of God. America has not a political party problem, but a sin problem.

Throwing Someone under the Bus

If throwing someone under the bus was an Olympic sport and the 2024 winner would undoubtedly be California Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi for her historic action of throwing away a 50-year friendship with President Joe Biden over politics.

You know it didn’t have to be that way.

When Barack Obama and Joe Biden left office in 2017 there was no reason for either to keep one toe in the political mess they left behind. It would have been perfectly fine for them to go out on top of their political game having been defeated by Donald Trump.

But they just couldn’t leave well enough alone.

It is my opinion that the Obama-let Democratic Party began working their “Never Trump” campaign even before January 20^th 2017. We’ve all seen the spectacle of the Congressional Black Caucus’ democratic boycott of Trump’s inauguration ceremony; the leaks and rumors; the betrayals of confidentiality of presidential conversations and telephone calls; the public display of disloyalty by government officials sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against ALL ENEMIES both foreign and domestic; the two impeachments led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; the outrage over border security by members of congress; the gerrymandering of the sham 2020 election where the most unqualified basement campaign by then former VP Joe Biden and then Senator Kamala Harris  took the political stage by storm beginning with the culmination of orchestrated events of January 6^th 2021 followed immediately by the January 6^th Committee hunting down MAGA supporters simply because they were there.

As if that wasn’t enough, the political mess created by the Biden/Harris administration (their words) have caused the deaths of American military personnel, American citizens and our allies in Afghanistan and an untold number of American citizens becoming hostages in the war on Israel and nobody in this administration has come to their rescue.

The southern border debacle has let more than 20M illegal aliens (many confirmed or suspected terrorists and criminal gang members) into the heartland of America without so much as a blink of an eye.

Literally on the eve of a presidential election President Joe Biden while going through a serious senior crisis was blackmailed by Nancy Pelosi to drop his bid for re-election because she feared not for his or the welfare of our nation, but that uncle Joe was a liability to the party that guaranteed Donald Trump victory. (This was after calling Joe Biden a “Mount Rushmore-kind” of president.)

I don’t use the term blackmailed loosely either. Nancy exerted the pressure of a 50-year friendship to the point that if Joe Biden did not make the “right” decision she would publicly expose the cover up of his declining health or worse. Nancy hoped Joe would make the right decision just as she hoped and prayed that Joe would forgive her and rekindle their friendship.

Once that decision had been made public everyone jumped on the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz bandwagon as they battle for the hearts, minds and votes of America. The 16,000+ delegates committed to Biden were pushed aside and courted to become Harris’ votes instead.

I don’t have any confidence in the DNC committee or the possibility that during the convention scheduled to begin tomorrow in Chicago (Obama’s hometown) that same committee could pull a completely new switcharoo. (I still remember back in 2006 when Obama swooped down and took the nomination from unsuspecting Hillary Clinton after she made sure Bernie was out of contention). They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, but the DNC is not lightning but are and have been operating from the same old (Saul Alinsky) playbook (because it’s the only one they have and has worked in the past for them).

The only difference now is that we know who is driving the bus (& it’s not Joe Biden). – RTM

Why Am I Not Surprised?

It is less than 90 days away from the November 5^th Presidential Election and it comes as no surprise that Christians are being courted by prominent Christian-based evangelical organizations to cast their vote for VP Kamala Harris not because she has suddenly announced her new found faith in Jesus, but simply because she is not Donald Trump.

This is especially troubling since Harris has done nothing to warrant this new found following by evangelicals, yet Trump has done more for America, and it’s Christian base and Christians around the world than, dare I saw the past 6 presidents (including Jimmy Carter) combined.

How many American presidents have begun their overseas travels visiting Israel, the Middle East and The Vatican and stated emphatically that in America we worship God, not government?

Okay I’ll wait…….

What America president did the unthinkable (other presidents said it couldn’t be done) by moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem?

Trump emphatically stated the US support for Israel and a dire warning for those regimes who threaten to attack Israel.

What American president orchestrated the signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel and prominent Middle Eastern Nations?

What American president signed an executive order to provide for permanent funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)?

So it is only natural for major nationwide evangelical 501(c) 3 organizations to come out publically to put all of their support for a political candidate (the incumbent vice president) who has never conceived an idea to support any religious group whatsoever, right?

Although VP Harris is married to a devout Jew she has made it her public record to stand against supporting Israel.

Again why am I not surprised because in biblical times when Jesus walked on the earth and taught at the synagogues it was the religious leaders (Sadducees and Pharoses) who mocked him and called for his public execution so as to send a message to Jesus’ followers to cease and desist?

 Donald Trump has never portrayed himself politically or otherwise as being God or a god. Trump has simply done what he was sent to do as president by the one true God who sent him, not to exalt himself, but to bring glory to God by stopping evil.

God never selected Donald Trump because he was a Billy Graham-type, but precisely because Trump became available when God called.

It is a testament to everyone who has witnessed the events of the past 8+ years that in doing so evil has come against Donald Trump in spades with political and character assassinations, threats of financial ruin, trumped up charges of lawbreaking with fear of imprisonment and a very real assassination attempt.

The bible tells us that the very best place to be is in the perfect will of God where nothing can stop what God has ordained until its purpose has been completed. That my friends is where Donald Trump is, in the perfect will of God – FOR HIM! So when you fall for the lies and do your best to stop Trump, just remember that you could be coming against the Creator God and HIS plan?  

Donald Trump has never said “FOLLOW ME” instead of God. Trump has said JOIN ME in Making America Great Again.

From our nations creation it has been carried on the backs of strong, courageous men and women with the vision of what America could become – the United States of America.

We must not give up on that vision. It is up to you and me to educate our children and grandchildren and their grandchildren to the fact that this nation was CREATED UNDER GOD and to honor God we must honor our nation and each other in a way as to give God all glory, honor and power.

It’s not about you or me. – RTM
