Throwing Stones from Glass Houses

Might I suggest that congressional democrats calling for members of the U.S. military to commit sedition, insurrection and/or treason to stop, look in the mirror, hold up and read their Congressional Oath of Office or the military oath they took?

“I, _STATE YOUR NAME__, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the president of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

In 2020-21 I witnessed the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Miley acting on orders from House Speaker Pelosi to not take orders from President Trump around the time of January 6^th. Those orders were unlawful and unconstitutional and should have caused the highest ranking military commander to be in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). General Miley was not held fully accountable for his action by a military tribunal because he willingly and knowingly followed orders from Speaker Pelosi.

Speaker Pelosi and other congressional democrats are either ignorant or do not fully understand their congressional oath of office, nor the oath for enlisted members of the military. These non-veteran politicians mistakenly feel that the military oath is to protect the President of the United States, when in fact the oath is to “Protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL ENEMIES, foreign and domestic.” By virtue of the actions of Speaker Pelosi and various members of congress (Senate and House) they have aligned themselves with domestic terrorists and enemies of the Constitution, and thus the government of the United States of which they are a major part.

Here we are in 2025 and some congressional democrats clearly have not gotten “the memo” as they publicly egg on military members to refuse to follow orders, not because they are unlawful or illegal, but because they are told or think that orders they believe are illegal can simply be refused or ignored. Every private in basic training is broken of that mindset the very first day of basic training.

In light of the fact that these members of congress who previously served in the military or other government intelligence agencies yet are attempting to create sedition and/or mutiny within the ranks of the military while they think themselves on a noble and patriot mission is appalling.

 The oath you have taken and your honorable service wearing the uniform of the United States military give you no business trying to adversely influence patriotic American servicemen and servicewomen to dishonor that oath, one they swore to uphold. – RTM

Leader of the Party?

The government shutdown gave Americans a glimpse of real American politics up front. We saw the rising up of one major political party while showcasing the demise of the other. On one of the news stations someone said “we know President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, but who do you say is the leader of the Democratic Party”?

The answer “President Trump is the leader of the Democratic Party” totally shocks across the political divide.

How can that be, you might ask?

It’s really quite simple. For the past 10+ years the Republican Party (GOP) has undergone political growing pains as they struggled to accept Donald Trump into their inner circles. In fact there was turmoil after he was elected because he came in outside political normal channels. The final rebranding became complete with Trump’s creation of and coining “Make America Great Again” campaign.

That should be enough to cause patriotism and love of country, “the USA” to well up inside the hearts and minds of every red-blooded American citizen. In reality it caused a real divide in what constitutes patriotism.

Pledging allegiance to the Flag of the USA, reciting the pledge in classrooms across the nation and standing with hands over hearts for the National Anthem became the anti-anthem for anti-Trump radicals as well as for the Democratic Party (DNC).

From local to national sporting events and international Olympic competition participants made known their anti-Trump sentiments by refusing to stand or placing their hands over their hearts and/or displaying publicly the traditional “California Welcome Finger” for all to see.

What we are seeing from a number of elected officials and national media and internet and social media spokespersons are constant reports falsely citing spiteful, dishonest and slanderous propaganda about President Trump hating immigrants, lowly industrial employees or food service workers so much that he is intent on removing them from this country and sending them home to their original “third world hell holes”.

The media and elected officials don’t want to admit the obvious that every immigrant who entered the USA illegally (without proper authorization or documentation) are in fact lawbreakers and criminals by their very first act of entering the USA and deserve deportation at the earliest possible date, not benefits and/or handouts to make their lives more comfortable, and at the expense of American taxpayers.

What is also being falsely reported is that (Not My) President Trump is destroying the White House like he is destroying the nation by tearing down structure and building his new Ballroom. While what has not even been reported on until recently are the repairs, improvements and enhancements that President Trump has already completed inside the White House.

By virtue of President Trump’s unique position of occupying “rent free” space in the minds of Democrats across our nation it is true that President Trump is in actuality the leader of the Democratic Party like leading livestock with a bit and bridal or a horse to water, dragging its feet or tugging the other way. Democrats have demonstrated their resistance like temper tantrum 3^rd graders arguing on a school playground over who gets to throw the ball.

It’s time for real Americans to get behind making our country healthy, great, strong, and safe again with unity of purpose and great patriotism. – RTM

MASA

I find it interesting that Americans seem to have become the non-smartest of all people. Farmers, ranchers and growers of the food Americans eat have been taken for granted and overlooked. School children are taught how to identify themselves with pronouns, but are unable to do basic mathematics, civics or world history. Many who advance to colleges and universities grapple with being able to “fit it” instead of gaining the necessary skills to make a significant contribution to society. Those choosing legal professions soon forget that the basis of US history is the US Constitution as they angle for political office not as a public servant but obtaining their elected office for celebrity status and ultimately personal financial gain.

How did we get here collectively as a society of learned people?

I must say it begins in the home. Parents must instill in their children the tenets of right and wrong as given in the bible. Behaviors are formed and modified at home even before they enter the academic setting.

When entering public or private school settings it is the responsibility of teachers not to teach doctrine, propaganda or personal political positions, but to set the spark of “learning” ablaze within the hearts and minds of every student.

In the interests of shrinking government the Department of Education is being abolished and it’s functions to be absorbed by other credible government agencies in order to give more latitude and responsibility to parents and to state and local educators.

Make Americans Smart Again (MASA) should be a national campaign geared toward learning and empowering Americans to think through learning, problem solving and putting into action theory presented in the classroom.

This dumbing down of America must be brought to a screeching halt. Americans are capable of and deserve more from parents, teachers and each other. Failure in the classroom should lead to triumph in real life outside the classroom.

Know what you believe, believe in what you know and trust not in your own understanding but place your trust in the God who created you in HIS image.

We must ask ourselves:

Has our life changed someone else for better or for worse?

Have we made someone else happy or happier?

Are we content with what we leave behind?

Will God say “well done my good and faithful servant” or “depart from me, I never knew you”? – RTM

Reverse Incrimination

Does anyone else see the hypocrisy of today’s Democratic Party, or is it just me?

In 2015 everyone categorized Donald Trump as not only a real estate mogul but nothing more than an entertainer because of his hit show “The Apprentice”.

Today in 2025 it’s Barack Obama who’s the comedian and sitting members of congress who record themselves doing nonsensical videos, podcasts and street dances protesting Donald Trump but are unwilling to open the government so working class Americans, government employees, military personnel and first responders can get back to work and get paid.

Maybe these self-made entertainers should resign their elected offices and go fulltime into “show business” – they have the experience in showing their real business.

Americans on government assistance are unable to receive that assistance and Democrats keep saying its congressional Republicans who are keeping the government shutdown……..as they cast their NO vote more than 13 times thus far. Some even go so far as to blame Donald Trump (who has no vote in congress) – how crazy is that?

Democrats have turned “public service” into being “public slave masters” needing total control.

Let us not forget that “elected” officials need those votes to get elected. If they are not looking out for you, why keep voting for them? – RTM

Twenty Nine Thirteen

Attention American Voters: Members of Congress are PUBLIC SERVANTS. That means they work for you and for me.

We are seeing what ignoring their constituents mean to them – NOTHING.

I’m tired of the blame game being played by congressional democrats.

There are 535 seats in congress – how many voted to hurt Americans?

How many registered voters have contacted their congressional democrats in the Senate and/or the House about keeping the government shut down?

Are you happy that your family members working for the government or serving in the military or federal law enforcement are no longer getting paid?

It is a choice you know?

More than one congressional democrat has confessed publicly that the shutdown is “leverage”. Leverage against what or whom?

Claiming “the other side” is responsible is irresponsible!

Every elected congressman, congresswoman and senator leaves a voting record:

YES, NO, ABSTAIN or PRESENT

How has your elected official voted on keeping the government open or shutdown or on anything?

Do you know?

Do you care?

Ignorance is no excuse?

Neither is Apathy!

Make your wished known TODAY, call, text, email, social media or IN PERSON VISIT……… – RTM

Rent Free

What I’m starting to hear from leftist politicians is that they are living rent free in the head of President Trump. In their minds the world revolves around them and their obsession with Trump. They plan all their resistance parties, rallies and marches and invite the media along for the ride. On social media they attempt to flood memes, pictures and stories about how great Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were and how miserable Trump’s MAGA followers are based on how the left’s TDS has skewed themselves into an alternate reality. So let me set the record straight.

I’ve been a Trumper since the day I read the book “The Faith of Donald J. Trump”. I signed up and voted on what Donald Trump did in his first term and what he has done and is doing in this his second term.

American politics have become corrupt over time. The only reasonable solution is a complete, using a golf term a government “do over” and in my opinion that is exactly what President Trump has been doing beginning on January 20^th, 2025. Trump began by calling the Biden presidency the worst one in American history, worse than Jimmy Carters or Barack Obamas.

Trump began rolling back Biden’s harmful changes to the economy, immigration, national security and international affairs using Executive Orders, Presidential Actions and Congressional legislation, while being fought tooth and nail by democratic judicial, media and in the court of public opinion.

Using the power of the pen and tariffs abroad Trump is normalizing international trade with other nations.

Using the power of the U.S. military and the Department of Justice Trump has taken the War on Drugs to the very next level by eliminating drug transport to the United States by land and by sea and working with other nations and their leaders to further reduce and eliminate drug production.

Trump began by authorizing D.O.G.E. to audit and expose Fraud, Waste and Abuse in Government so that runaway spending could be stopped completely.  This has caused major disruption for money going to places and peoples or governments where no U.S. interest is served. Government agencies identified for elimination are systematically being dismantled and their functions transferred to other agencies.

Closing the border, resuming construction of the Southern Border Wall has all but stopped the unlawful entry of migrants, human trafficking and drug smuggling over the border and into the nation. Reinforced with U.S. military personnel has been a God-send to the Customs and Immigration Service enabling border patrol agents to do the job they are hired and trained to do.

There is a new and growing threat on the American homeland – criminal elements actively rioting disguised as “resistance” which threatens to destabilize public safety.

Democratic lead efforts in various cities and states have placed their emphasis on backing criminals while denying there is a crime problem. These elected officials actually encourage criminals to wage war on Law Enforcement thereby mandating action by the Department of Homeland Security under Trump’s War on Crime.

Trump has traveled abroad, being greeted by emperors, kings, princes, prime ministers, and world leaders as they honor and pay their respects. Trump has gone where no other American president has gone before and accomplished more than anyone could reasonably expect.

What is obvious to me is that in reality their obsession allows President Donald Trump to live rent free in the heads of everyone suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. – RTM

New York City Attorney General Letitia James

When the shoe is on the other foot Tish cries foul after her indictment for mortgage fraud charges are filed for prosecution in Virginia. She claims President Trump is going after her in retribution for her prosecuting him for 38 counts of criminal wrongdoing and going after his family, his business, his money and his reputation .

My concern is when did Tish do her alleged “dirty deeds”? There are documents showing as early as 1983 and again in 2020 involving properties in Virginia and New York. Were there other properties?

For someone already experienced in frauding finance companies in her personal life, running for elected office on the pretext of “going to get Trump” if elected, and then following through with her lightly veiled threat, it appears that “the chickens are coming home to roost”. Did she not think her bad deeds would come out in the light of day? She did say “Nobody is above the law” and apparently she didn’t think of herself as a “nobody”, because after all she is the one who “Got Trump”.

I don’t think of it as retribution but more like Karma. Tish is going public about how she won’t bend, break, give up or give in…….let’s see what jury trials can do when they are followed by lockup in a federal facility where her only beneficial friend could very well be President Trump. I’m not a vindictive person, but I have watched too many cop shows on TV where the defiant crack under pressure once they hear that cell door slam shut. – RTM

Checks and Balances in Government

After the Constitution was written, signed and then ratified by the Thirteen Colonies the balance of power was divided into three separate Branches of Government: The Legislative (Congress: Senate & House), The Executive (President) and The Judicial (Supreme Court).

Over the past 249 years there have modifications, changes and amendments to the Constitution. What remains unchanged is the separation between the three branches of government. The Legislative Branch writes bills and passes in the House and Senate, the Executive Branch signs into law, and the Judicial Branch insures there is no violation of the Constitution.

The Legislative Branch has been primarily a “good old boys and girls club” where arguing the merits and demerits of each piece of legislation usually leads to compromise before being passed in each chamber.

The Executive Branch holder in our lifetime has almost always come out of the Legislative Branch. This has led to everyone knowing how the “process” works and how bills are made into law. The Judicial Branch hears cases where the letter and intent of the law is measured by the Constitution.

President Ronald Reagan ascended to the office not from the Legislature, but from the governorship of California. Reagan ruffled congressional feathers but held firm to his campaign promises and to what he felt was best for America.

President Donald Trump ascended to the office from the private sector as a successful New York business tycoon. Trump ruffled congressional feathers such has never been seen before, so much that a non-medical diagnosis called “Trump Derangement Syndrome” became so prevalent across the political landscape of America that it has lasted for the past nine years.

President Joe Biden sought to “stack the court” by expanding the number of seats and filling them with political favorites to insure his policies would endure. That idea didn’t see the light of day during his term.

State legislatures have sought to redistrict counties in favor of their political persuasion, but have repeatedly been thwarted when coming before the Supreme Court, if they are based on racial biases,

Many falsely claim that the United States is a Democracy or a Constitutional-Democracy, neither of which are true. The US is a Constitutional-Republic and thus the three branches of government.

Others claim that President Trump sees himself as “King” or “Dictator” and call him an Oligarch and even “Hitler”. Those claims are untrue as well. Trump has refuted these claims, saying “I work hard for the American people because I love the United States”.

If one has ever lived or visited a nation with a Monarch or a Oligarch or even a Dictator it’s not hard to see that simply breathing discord or discontent with the government or the leader is met with swift “justice”.

Never once have I heard President Trump refer to himself as “King”. However, If Trump was King he could call a national emergency, enact Marshal Law, suspend the Constitution, the Legislature and the Judicial and use the full force of American military to curb dissention, prosecute, try, sentence and imprison or execute capital punishment on EVERYONE who dissents against him or his policies.

Elected Officials are sworn to protect and defend the Constitution and to insure the safety and welfare of the American people, not their political party stance or wishes. American voters must use good judgment BEFORE casting their votes on Election Day. Elections have consequences. – RTM

Department of Homeland Security

How is it that the media wrongly label nearly all federal law enforcement as I.C.E. operations? It could be due to willful ignorance of those don’t know what they’re talking about or what they see in the news.

Whether it is state or local law enforcement gang units operating to take down gang members or federal law enforcement going after felons or illegal activity not all police activity can be attributed to ICE.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was created as an umbrella over federal law enforcement to insure that various government agencies were able to communicate and share necessary information pertaining to criminal activities.

One such agency, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was created in 2003 merging the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the former U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Within I.C.E. there are three operational directives – Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and the Office of Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA), while a forth directorate Management and Administration (M&A) support the other three branches to advance the ICE missions.

ERO upholds Immigration law at, within, and beyond our borders enforcing immigration law against those who present a danger to our national security, are a threat to public safety, or who otherwise undermine the integrity of our immigration system.

ERO targets public safety threats such as gang members, convicted criminal undocumented aliens and gang members as well as those who illegally re-entered the country after being removed and immigration fugitives ordered removed by a federal immigration judge. ERO deportation officers assigned to INTERPOL also assist in targeting and apprehending foreign fugitives or Fugitive Arrest and Removal (FAR) cases who are wanted for crimes committed abroad and who are now at-large in the US.

ERO manages all aspects of the immigration enforcement process, including identification and arrest, domestic transportation, detention, bond management, and supervised release, including alternatives to detention. ERO removes undocumented aliens ordered removed from the US to more than 150 countries around the world.

Aiding and assisting illegal immigrants is a federal crime with potential fines and/or imprisonment.

I might suggest that instead of members of congress empowering lawlessness against ICE officers, they might better spend their time REFORMING U.S. Immigration Laws with meaningful changes to better protect the national security and make it easier to apply for lawful entry into the USA.

Recently a news story from the Vatican showed the very first Republican in history to become Pope Leo blessing a block of ICE. Was there significance to that or was Pope Leo sanctioning I.C.E. activity? We may never really know? – RTM

A President Like No Other

Whether you love him or hate him Donald J. Trump is no ordinary president, none before him and likely none after him to compare. He came into office in 2017 not through prior political office or as a favor beholding to anyone.  He knew many of the political players in Washington. Trump might have even figured that he would have their unconditional support, but it wouldn’t have been the first time he would be wrong.

Fred Trump could not have imagined his son would one day be president. Fred was hard working and felt it was the duty of those who walk with God. Fred was “post war master builder of housing for middle class”. Fred was a strict disciplinarian who accepted no foolishness at home, school or in public. He may have expected his sons to take over the family business one day, but younger son Donald was not his first choice. His youthful antics made it necessary for Fred to send him off to the New York Military Academy (NYMA) (1959 – 1964). WWII army veteran Ted Dobias was his mentor who wanted to instill the tenets of manhood “Respect for authority. Set a good example in your appearance, you manners, and how you speak. Be proud of your family. Be proud of yourself.” Trump learned that life is about survival. It’s always about survival. Dobias taught that winning wasn’t everything, it was the only thing. Donald’s stated purpose became “to win”.

Donald Trump learned from his dad to respect the dignity of work and the dignity of working people. Fred was most comfortable in the company of bricklayers, carpenters, and electricians. Donald is comfortable among the working class as he is with royalty. Like his father before him, his hobby is work.

Although a very successful builder, Fred Trump was not flashy. He had to impress nobody. On the other hand it was son Donald who after taking over the family business made the Trump brand recognizable around the world. Donald took old buildings and pieces of land with years of history and renovated, remodeled or built from scratch works of architecture that have become landmarks on the Manhattan landscape. (The Faith of Donald J. Trump)

Keep in mind that Donald Trump isn’t perfect. Not by a long shot. He is straight forward in his thinking and his talking. His focus is on family, purpose, work, and the path forward for America is his all consuming passion.

Donald Trump is funny, compassionate, selfless and extremely giving of himself, his time and his money when it comes to lifting up the underdog, the downtrodden or the forgotten.

Name one president in the history of America who served for the good of the country and the people without taking a salary – 4 years or more? Name one president who commits himself and his fortune on investing into the presidency by committing to building an architectural marvel for host future presidential events and at no national or public?

Donald Trump’s 2nd term (45-47) vision for the future of America knows no bounds.

A king they say…..preposterous!

“I am no king. I work hard every day for the American people.” – DJT

I venture to say that no other politician, let alone president who works as hard or as long day after day, hour after hour to do what is best for America. Trump’s efforts toward world peace, from initiating the Abraham Accords during his first term, moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem to his 2nd term of orchestrating the return from Hamas the hostages to Israel, ending 8+ wars around the globe and showing no signs of letting up will not only earn him the respect of world leaders, but the title of “The Peace President” where peace is the prize.

“History will record Donald J. Trump as the greatest president of all time!” – Henry Kissinger

“Envy always hates the excellency it cannot reach.” – Dr. David Jeremiah

The negativity toward President Donald J. Trump is really an expression of the hatred of evil toward Almighty God who sent him.

Across the nation it is evident that at least to President Donald J. Trump – Public Safety Matters! – RTM
