If you grew up or were raised on or near a farm, ranch or just out in the country and you saw a bull standing alone in a field you would probably say to yourself or someone else, “Look there’s a bull” and it’s no big deal. However if you take that bull into the city and he’s put into an arena people will come to the arena just to see how big is the bull. But if that bull gets loose and goes into an upscale store there will be people running around screaming “THERE’S A BULL IN HERE”. Sooner or later a different crowd will begin to gather to gawk at the bull and wonder how did it get in there or who’s going to get it out? When the owner of the bull shows up with a rope he will lead the bull outside and back into his trailer and take the bull back to the ranch as he might be muttering “City slickers don’t know nothing about bulls”.
Take the New York DA’s who are trying to keep Donald Trump tied up in court and off the campaign trail with all these “felony charges” which are nothing more than accusations to prevent him from being elected again. Do they not think (no they don’t think) that making sure Trump is kept in New York he is not able to do a “TRUMP STUMP” micro-mini rally event, a one on one with the people of New York?
In this respect Trump is liken to the bull in the arena or off into a part of New York where politicians don’t venture because it’s just not worth it. Well guess what – to Trump everyone is worth it, even those throwing proverbial stones at him. I remember Trump saying at his rallies “they’re not after me, they’re after you, but I’m just in the way.”
New York is politically volatile right now with politicians running the show, locking up citizens for defending themselves while letting criminal elements run free. Oh yeah they might get arrested, but are back out on the streets before the ink on the charging documents dry – unless they’re name is Trump.
Right now there are demonstrators shutting down New York universities and college campuses demanding Israel stop the genocide in Palestine. Well guess what, there is no longer any country called Palestine and the genocide is perpetuated by the terrorists beginning on October 6th and it is Israel who is protecting the refugees in Gaza. In order for Israel to stop the genocide they would have to begin an all-out offensive attack on the terrorists and their sympathizers and terrorist co-harts and wipe them all out. But they do not and who’s the bad guys here?
New Yorkers have an overabundance of illegal alien migrants, homelessness and lawlessness because of their politician’s claims of “sanctuary city” status. Law enforcement is handcuffed to corrupt politicians and unable to break free, while the VOTERS continue to elect intellectually challenged radical leftists into offices of power.
Lawlessness left unchecked leads to rioting, looting and social unrest and that seems to be the aim of politicians (democrats, republicans and independents) who fail to stand up to defend the Rule of Law = The Constitution!
Prove me wrong President Biden, Senate Majority Leader Schumer and House Speaker Johnson?
Prove me wrong!

I’m guessing the radical progressive politicians in American society haven’t gotten the memo or maybe they simply couldn’t process it correctly? The campuses of New York’s premier Ivy League universities are being held hostage by those making a political statement that shows their ignorance of world affairs. Even when a New York high school soccer field has been unlawfully occupied by illegal migrants doesn’t even raise an eyebrow of the Democratic politicians who made it possible. The political elite are proudly displaying their bias by prosecuting a former President of the United States, while congressional democrats attempt to demonize Trump with a “disgraced former president’s act” that if passed could come back to bite them in the tush. But does it really matter that lawlessness runs freely on the streets of New York City while the “justice system” is involved in its own version of election interference? For Democrats going after Trump time after time using the same tactics and expecting different results simply doesn’t register with them.
Insanity – The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition
Insanity /ĭn-săn′ĭ-tē/
noun
Severe mental illness or derangement. Not used in psychiatric diagnosis.
Unsoundness of mind sufficient to render a person unfit to maintain a contractual or other legal relationship or sufficient to warrant commitment to a mental health facility.
Incapacity to form the criminal intent necessary for legal responsibility, as when a mental disorder prevents a person from knowing the difference between right and wrong.
Insanity – Wikipedia
Insanity, madness, lunacy, and craziness are behaviors caused by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. Insanity can manifest as violations of societal norms, including a person or persons becoming a danger to themselves or to other people. Conceptually, mental insanity also is associated with the biological phenomenon of contagion (that mental illness is infectious) as in the case of copycat suicides. In contemporary usage, the term insanity is an informal, un-scientific term denoting “mental instability”; thus, the term insanity defense is the legal definition of mental instability. In medicine, the general term psychosis is used to include the presence of delusions and/or hallucinations in a patient;[1] and psychiatric illness is “psychopathology“, not mental insanity.[2]
Stupidity – The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition
Stupidity /stoo͞-pĭd′ĭ-tē, styoo͞-/
noun
The quality or condition of being stupid.
A stupid act, remark, or idea.
The quality or state of being stupid; extreme dullness of perception or understanding; insensibility; sluggishness. Similar: insensibilitysluggishness
Since everybody is an expert arm chair quarterback on what ails America, let me offer this bit of advice on the lawlessness occurring at institutions of higher education, Congress or the President should immediately suspend, terminate or stop funding institutions who allow educational disruptions to occur on campus. Freedom of Speech and the Right to Assemble do not include causing an unsafe campus for ALL students. As for the “migrants” occupying a high school campus, or any other facility or property should be removed, booked (documented) and deported to the nearest country outside the confines of the United States. On the lawlessness let loose on New Yorkers, the state’s Governor and the Attorney General who allow these actions to continue should be immediately recalled, arrested and imprisoned and impeached and barred for life from holding any elected office. As for Congressional malfeasance, that should be grounds for dismissal from office and being held accountable in the same criminal justice system being levied on their political adversaries.

The first 10 amendments called THE BILL OF RIGHTS are guaranteed to Citizens by the Constitution of the United States of America.
CITIZENS
The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from quartering troops in private homes, a major grievance during the American Revolution.
The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure. The government may not conduct any searches without a warrant, and such warrants must be issued by a judge and based on probable cause.
The Fifth Amendment provides that citizens not be subject to criminal prosecution and punishment without due process. Citizens may not be tried on the same set of facts twice, and are protected from self-incrimination (the right to remain silent). The amendment also establishes the power of eminent domain, ensuring that private property is not seized for public use without just compensation.
The Sixth Amendment assures the right to a speedy trial by a jury of one’s peers, to be informed of the crimes with which they are charged, and to confront the witnesses brought by the government. The amendment also provides the accused the right to compel testimony from witnesses, and to legal representation.

I mean there is a song we sang in church as kids, “He’s got the whole world in his hands”, but that is really hard to imagine, but have you ever tried? If there is a God and I believe there is, and if he created the whole world, and I believe he did, and if he created the stars, planets and galaxies, and I believe he did, then you big would he have to be to hold all creation in the palm of his hand?
That being the case one human life is a microcosm, a fraction of a spec on a planet that is part of a galaxy in a universe we have yet to explore, let alone begin to number – way more than the sands on the sea shore. Wrap your head around that?
How is a God so obviously huge able to connect with and get into the heart of a simple man like me? More importantly how do I get the attention of the creator of all creation? I don’t know about you but it’s a miracle to know that the Creator God loves all of his creation equally and without favoring one over another. It is more than miraculous that the same Creator God knows the hairs on my body, the number of heartbeats I will have and whether or not I will have another breath of air.
Want to know how big God is? He is big enough to send his only Begotten Son Jesus to live as a man and die on the cross at Calvary for a sinner such as I. When Jesus said “It is finished” and took his last breath he was talking to you and to me.
It is better that one man “Jesus” lay down his life on the cross so that all who believe in him would have a way to God the Father who is in heaven. In 3 short years Jesus healed the sick and the lame, the blind and the deaf and made the mute to speak; he raised the dead and turned the hearts of men to God; he said and did what he saw his Father do in heaven and now sits at the right hand of God and resides in my heart at the same time.
How big is God? God is bigger than all my problems, any situation that may arise and ready to give eternal life in heaven for all who believe.
It is not rocket science to insure elections and voting go smoothly and uncompromised.
It does require vigilance to insure no election interference, tampering within the voting process or other intrusions disrupt the election process of a state’s polling precinct.
What can we do to insure the voting process is done correctly?
State Election Officer held accountable for uncompromised elections in each precinct
Registered voter database (current & accurate)
In Person Voting
Secure Voting Machines
Secure Voting Software
Secure Polling Stations (open for early voting and until closing on election day)
Independent Voting Monitors
Secure transportation of ballots from satellite/remote collection points
Supervision of Ballot processing
Private Voting Booths
Voter ID (matches database)
Valid State Driver’s License
Valid State ID Card
Valid Voter ID Card
Absentee Ballots – when authorized (signature verification matches database)
Prompt and accurate transmitting of tabulated voting data
Swift identification and judicial action (prosecution) when irregularities occur
It is important to note that constitutionally US Citizens are authorized to vote – non-US citizens are not.
Voters must be registered in the precinct where they reside (picture ID is required). – RTM
Because former President Donald J. Trump is the nemesis of all the Democratic Party both fears and hates it is considered okay to convict him in the court of public opinion before and during his Hush Money trial in New York and a mounting number of criminal cases (91) in multiple states, thus insuring that INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY need not apply.
As I have written in previous RTM blogs politically based allegations do not equal guilt or convictions. Normally allegations are seen as political suicide or “career” ending.
What is on trial is FREEDOM IN AMERICA. The freedom to work hard, grow a family and create a work ethic that is unheard of in third world countries around the world.
Donald Trump has been and is being demonized because he stepped into the DC swamp knowing full well that there would be pushback. He may not have realized the extent of corruption, but with his eyes wide open knowing full well the exposure of corrupt politicians would be painful.
This latest tactic is one that was played even before Trump left office in 2021, as Democrats then attempted to cut ALL Former Presidents Act benefits from President Trump. It didn’t work then and it shouldn’t have even come up again, except ALL IS FAIR IN THE WAR ON TRUMP.
Remember when on January 20, 2021 newly elected Representatives Marjory Taylor Green (R-GA) introduced articles of impeachment for his misconduct toward Ukraine as Vice President on newly elected President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) did nothing with those articles, but did removed MTG from all committees and caucuses? Those same accusations were not given credence during the campaign season because it was not acceptable to politically target a rival candidate for President.
So what has changed? With Democrats – NOTHING!
American voters must stand their ground and make their votes count – the Constitution either works for all or it won’t work for any. – RTM
The Disgraced Act
House Democrats have introduced a bill that would strip Secret Service protection from convicted felons sentenced to prison, a move directly targeting former President Trump who is currently on criminal trial in New York City for alleged hush money payments made during the 2016 election campaign and faces several other cases which could land him behind bars.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the former chair of the now disbanded Jan. 6 congressional committee, introduced legislation that would automatically nix Secret Service protection for those who have been convicted of a federal or state felony that carries a minimum one-year prison term.
The Former Presidents Act is a 1958 U.S. federal law that provides several lifetime benefits to former presidents of the United States who have not been removed from office solely pursuant to Article Two of the United States Constitution.
(a) Each former President shall be entitled for the remainder of his life to receive from the United States a monetary allowance at a rate per annum, payable monthly by the Secretary of the Treasury, which is equal to the annual rate of basic pay, as in effect from time to time, of the head of an executive department, as defined in section 101 of title 5, United States Code [section 101 of Title 5]. However, such allowance shall not be paid for any period during which such former President holds an appointive or elective office or position in or under the Federal Government or the government of the District of Columbia to which is attached a rate of pay other than a nominal rate.
(b) The Administrator of General Services shall, without regard to the civil-service and classification laws, provide for each former President an office staff. Persons employed under this subsection shall be selected by the former President and shall be responsible only to him for the performance of their duties. Each former President shall fix basic rates of compensation for persons employed for him under this paragraph which in the aggregate shall not exceed $96,000 per annum, except that for the first 30-month period during which a former President is entitled to staff assistance under this subsection, such rates of compensation in the aggregate shall not exceed $150,000 per annum. The annual rate of compensation payable to any such person shall not exceed the highest annual rate of basic pay now or hereafter provided by law for positions at level II of the Executive Schedule under section 5313 of title 5. United States Code [section 5313 of Title 5. Government Organization and Employees]. Amounts provided for “Allowances and Office Staff for Former Presidents” may be used to pay fees of an independent contractor who is not a member of the staff of the office of a former President for the review of Presidential records of a former President in connection with the transfer of such records to the National Archives and Records Administration or a Presidential Library without regard to the limitation on staff compensation set forth herein.
(c) The Administrator of General Services shall furnish for each former President suitable office space appropriately furnished and equipped, as determined by the Administrator, at such place within the United States as the former President shall specify.
(d) [Repealed. Pub. L. 86-682, § 12(c), Sept. 2, 1960, 74 Stat. 730. See sections 3214 and 3216 of Title 39.]
(e) The widow of each former President shall be entitled to receive from the United States a monetary allowance at a rate of $20,000 per annum, payable monthly by the Secretary of the Treasury, if such widow shall waive the right to each other annuity or pension to which she is entitled under any other Act of Congress. The monetary allowance of such widow–
(1) commences on the day after the former President dies;
(2) terminates on the last day of the month before such widow–
(A) dies; or
(B) remarries before becoming 60 years of age; and
(3) is not payable for any period during which such widow holds an appointive or elective office or position in or under the Federal Government or the government of the District of Columbia to which is attached a rate of pay other than a nominal rate.
(f) As used in this section, the term “former President” means a person–
(1) who shall have held the office of President of the United States of America;
(2) whose service in such office shall have terminated other than by removal pursuant to section 4 of article II of the Constitution of the United States of America; and
(3) who does not then currently hold such office.
(g) There are authorized to be appropriated to the Administrator of General Services up to $1,000,000 for each former President and up to $500,000 for the spouse of each former President each fiscal year for security and travel related expenses: Provided, That under the provisions set forth in section 3056, paragraph (a), subparagraph (3) of title 18, United States Code [section 3056(a)(3) of Title 18, Crimes and Criminal Procedure], the former President and/or spouse was not receiving protection for a lifetime provided by the United States Secret Service under section 3056 paragraph (a) subparagraph (3) of title 18, United States Code; the protection provided by the United States Secret Service expired at its designated time; or the protection provided by the United States Secret Service was declined prior to authorized expiration in lieu of these funds.

Section 4
The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
It’s been said that the only constant in life is change. The cycle of human life begins when God creates the embryo and ends not in physical death, but in life eternal at the place of OUR choosing – with God in Heaven or before God’s judgement thrown and then cast into the lake of fire – Hell.
A Time for Everything
3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
15 Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.[b]
16 And I saw something else under the sun:
In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there.
17 I said to myself,
“God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”
18 I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 19 Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath[c]; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”
22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
As we see world events happening in real time all around us we must understand that the political climate in America is changing so fast that each politician must adapt their campaign style to fit the time period they live in.
During the 2016 campaign period candidate Donald Trump began holding rallies in key states (all states are key) and patriotic freedom loving Americans eagerly responded.
Candidate Hillary Clinton called them a basket of deplorables.
During the 2020 campaign period President Trump continued his rallies and patriotic MAGA supporters continued to respond in overwhelming numbers.
Former Vice President Joe Biden from his basement campaign headquarters called them dog-faced pony soldiers and worse.
During this 2024 campaign season former President Trump has taken his campaigning to the court rooms of New York City as news outlets cover trial after trial with unprecedented and totally free publicity, drawing millions of voters to the law and order president.
Talking heads of the news are quick to call MAGA supporters anti-intellectually driven and label Trump a threat to democracy when they really mean Trump is a threat to Democrats.
So like the world around us, political climates change faster than a little tyke with a runny diaper.
What America needs more than anything else is a relationship with the God who created everything and without that personal relationship with the person of Jesus who is the Christ, man is condemned already and the choice is an eternity without God?
Think of it as a world full of Islamic radical democrats where common sense, adult supervision and good is eternally absent. Is that what you really want for your children and grandchildren?
All eyes are on the hush money trials in New York and it’s clear that the deck been stacked as potential jurors are run through the mill over whether they can render an fair and impartial verdict and the judge has issued a gag order preventing Trump from commenting on his accusers, yet a play by play transcription has been released to the main stream media among which is CNN that devoted almost its entire broadcast schedule in defaming Trump’s character and spreading their version of “what this is all about” over the airwaves, internet and in airports around the world where they have a broadcast monopoly for what they call Breaking News.
But it’s NOT ABOUT POLITICS, right?
What is happening is the dumbing down of America to the point that it would be hard pressed to find anywhere in New York that President Donald J. Trump could realistically get a fair trial before an unbiased jury of his peers, yet the persecution continues and I call it like I see it – Domestic Political Election Interference!
We’ve been bombarded with an intrinsic web of lies to the point that the facts of the matter have been overshadowed by misinformation. It was once said that when legend exceeds fact – print the legend.
It’s now understood that the November 3rd, 2020 election was not stolen and President Donald Trump incited an insurrection on January 6th, 2021. At the urging of Congress the media keeps repeating it and a majority of Americans believe them to be true.
The truth is not in either scenario.
On November 3rd, 2020 American’s went to the polls to vote for their presidential candidate, as has been our custom for more than 240 years. The choice boiled down to either Donald J. Trump or Joseph R. Biden Jr. As the polls began closing at the 8pm deadline, precinct after precinct local and national news outlets updated their tallies and when America went to bed Trump led Biden by a very substantial number of votes. However all was not as it seemed.
Under the cover of darkness a lot had been happening and in the days preceding “election day” election irregularities were being reported. In some state precincts election monitors were prevented from monitoring ballot processing; boxes of unverified ballots were still being processed and President Trump began contesting election results at either state legislative or in the courts.
Internationally the US election results were “magically” changing right before the eyes of television audiences. On November 4th, 2020 Joe Biden had declared himself the “President-Elect” (as the banner from his Delaware home stated) and he urged President Trump to concede. Not happening!
December was the month that the Electoral College delegates voted IN THEIR HOME STATES and each state governor signed a certification document that was recorded and forwarded to Congress and presented to the Vice President and on January 6th, 2021 each EC delegate presented their official ballot to a joint session of congress to be accepted or rejected.
Each chamber of Congress (House and Senate) had to accept or reject each EC ballot. Each rejected ballot had to be debated by each chamber for 2 hours before continuing with the process. There were unverified reports that speakers of the House and Senate issued warnings to every member of congress NOT TO REJECT ANY BALLOTS with penalty of sanction or worse.
During Trump’s MAGA rally in DC on January 6th, 2021 he told the MAGA crowd to walk to the Capital Building to let their voices be heard on the unfair 2020 election. Even as President Trump was speaking Capital Police were escorting ANTIFA, fake MAGA, and reportedly undercover law enforcement agents into the upper chamber of the Capital Building.
As the MAGA crowd arrived at the Capital Building, they were hot and tired and stood outside until summoned by Capital Police to enter through a lower entry level door. It has been reported that what they found inside was overturned trash receptacles and trash strewn about, which they began picking up and placing it back into the receptacles.
It was also reported that the DC mayor ordered businesses closed, cell towers and wifi outlets turned off and portable toilets removed in an attempt to get the estimated 3 million MAGA crowd to leave DC. It didn’t work.
In the aftermath official sworn documents called for President Trump’s MAGA supporters to be hunted down, arrested and imprisoned for just being in DC on January 6th, 2021. That is like after a bank robbery the FBI goes around arresting everyone who was inside the bank that day just because they were there. Many were held without bail, representation or access to medical or other facilities in a substandard, abandoned DC prison facility and without outside visitors indefinitely with charges ranging from disrupting a government function to interfering with the will of Congress or some other outrageous charge.
I do not have all or any of the answers for what we have been witnessing or experiencing over the past 4 years since President Joe Biden was inaugurated on January 20th, 2021. We are seeing democratic politicians going after President Trump in order to prevent him from being elected once again, and that my friend reeks of Election Interference.
Whether you like or dislike President Trump is irrelevant. What you should be doing is keeping your eye on the ball…….it could very well happen to you! – RTM
Katie Couric’s headline name calling could actually be defamation of character for President Trump supporters if we could just figure out what “Anti-Intellectualism” & “Eliteism” actually is? I guess it would be best to simply ignore the rantings of this darling of mainstream media.
The transparency of the far left radically progressive democrats is on full display every time they open their mouths, take up their pens or pound their keyboards with their made up rhetorically sounding words with meanings that are so insanely defamatory and says so much more about those spouting off than the targets of their attacks. These so called “experts” on all things Trump seriously don’t have a clue. That is why they continually paint a broad-brush stroke in blasting others for what they themselves are doing. – RTM
