I remember wading out into the ocean and watching as the waves came in. That first one was usually a big one that took me by surprise. I was fully expecting and ready for the others so much so that they really didn’t bother me all that much.
9/11 was one of those big ones. The War on Terrorism was one of those long drawn out aftershocks, as was the war in Afghanistan. The effects of each one was like another wave coming in.
2020 was another pounding of the consciousness of America after the release of the 2019 China Virus, and the war on Trump, which was really a war to divide Americans against one another.
To make matters worse was enacting AOC’s Green New Deal, curbing fossil fuel production and development, opening the US borders (north and south) to unvetted or mislabeled foreign migrants and dispersing them strategically throughout the continental US and giving “legitimacy” to homosexuality by openly and mandatory indoctrination of school age children with “classes”, cartoon programming and popular attractions and theme parks and full length movies and advertisements promoting it as normal behavior to be accepted by all – Wave after wave after wave.
What is more disturbing are the “churches” and organizations latching on to the “non-profit” status where perversion is fully embraced and has become god, while the Creator God has been “overruled” in man’s vain attempt to shut Him out completely.
It reminds me when God saw the condition of man’s heart at the time He commanded Noah to build the Ark and then sealed the door with Noah and his family along with all the animals safely inside and it began to rain.
After the rains had stopped, the waters subsided and the Ark came to rest on dry land and God made a covenant with Noah that never again would he destroy the earth with water and gave a rainbow as a sign of His promise to man. God has never broken that promise.
The devil has brought into the minds of men the desire to take what God has created and misuse or redefine its use in ways that God calls sin. Man has sought to remove God from daily living by putting him in a box only to be opened in an emergency. When emergencies happen it is God who is blamed and then the box is closed again.
We are told in the bible that the consequences or wages of sin leads to death, a spiritual separation from God.
There is coming a time when every man and woman will stand before Almighty God and answer for sins.
Those found guilty will be banished to a place where there is no God. It will be the answer sinful man has wished for from which there is no return.
Those who have accepted the gift of salvation (their sins covered by the blood of Jesus) will worship before the throne of God forever. It will be the answer the redeemed have prayed for and it will have no end.
What was first seen when a few gay lawyers began “coming out of the closet”. We now have gone to declarations of “stop the hate” commercials on television and we are led to believe that hatred against God and his law is a right. Well not to disappoint you but being gay is a choice and a really bad one at that.
Genesis 1:27
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Of all creation how is it that only man has decided that isn’t enough or that God in his wisdom made a mistake? He did not!
Genesis 1:31
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
What is apparent at this time in the history of the world is that man has defiantly rejected his creator and the rules for healthy living in order that man can control of his own destiny. When God say’s “Do Not” man says “I will do anyway” while the consequences are ignored, leading to a host of bad choices and bad decision since the fall of man in the garden.
We are continually bombarded by propaganda that tells us that not only is man on man, woman on woman, but man/woman on animals and the “trans-gender” justification of mankind is acceptable and normal. It is not!
Leviticus 18:22
22“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.“
God calls it sin.
God loves sinners, but hates sin.
The penalty for sin is death (spiritual separation from God for eternity).
Think about that, choosing sin over God is choosing one’s own destiny – eternal damnation.
Know that God’s love for his creation has no limits. So much is God’s love that he sent his only begotten son Jesus to be born as a man, live a life without sin, and died on the cross to pay the penalty for the sins of all mankind and then raise from the dead on the third day. Jesus is alive and sitting on the throne at the right hand of God interceding for you and for me.
That is how much God loves you.
When God created mankind he gave each one the right to life. Historically man has done very badly in preserving that right for everyone through murder, war, and abortion.
It is time to stand up for what God said is right and come against what God said is wrong. No other opinion counts.
It is better to stand alone with God, than to be in a crowd headed to hell.
The bible addresses pride as a prelude to a fall.
I say it like this the bigger they are the harder they fall and that last step is going to be a doozey. – RTM
Given the manner in which presidential elections have been held since 9/11/2001 it is anybody’s guess who will be declared the winner of the 2024 election for President of the United States. That being said, unless something drastic has been taken to ensure the sanctity of elections across the board in EVERY precinct, county, state and/or territory there will be the very real possibility of election interference, ballot tampering and polling place strong arm tactics in an attempt to influence the outcome.
So who exactly is eligible to run for the offices of President and Vice President?
Constitution of the United States of America
Article II, Section 1
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
The real question is why would anyone want to be President? Is it a quest to occupy the most powerful office as leader of the free world?
Is it a money thing?
Is it a power thing?
Is it a “calling” from God?
Unless someone has diagnosed what has gone wrong in America, has a clear plan to turn it around and the wherewithal to turn it into a reality to bring back that national fervor and pride for our country they shouldn’t even run.
More importantly do they really, deep in their heart and soul believe they can win?
During the 2020 election we saw a host of elected members of congress toss their collective hats in the ring, knowing that without a doubt they couldn’t take their party’s nomination, let alone the majority vote of the people or that of the Electoral College.
For the most part they had no dog in the fight, no stake in the claim and were doing it strictly for the publicity knowing that they would go back to their elected office after wasting so much time, money in an effort that was futile to begin with.
So what is so different this time?
Like all races there are winners and losers. When it comes to a Presidential Election quite often the runners are losers. The real losers are the American voters who continue to cast their ballots based on name recognition, not on past performance or track record, and certainly not on any future expectation of national importance or security.
Don’t believe me, look at this Ballotpedia article and tell me that because any Tom, Dick and Sally can run, should they, although qualified, ever become President of the United States? – RTM

The VA’s mission is to provide health, education, disability, funerary, and financial benefits earned by Veterans of the United States Armed Forces.
VA offers benefits that can help Veterans buy, retain, or modify a home; earn a degree; start a career; stay healthy, and do much more in life after the military.
And no, this is not an infomercial for the VA.
My first interaction with the VA was in the late 1950s and early 1960s when my father a World War II navy veteran suffered an accident on our farm in rural southwestern Idaho and was transported to the VA hospital in Boise, Idaho. His injury was to his service connected leg injury which resulted in having his left knee removed and his leg fused together.
During his recovery and rehabilitation at the VA hospital our family moved from the farm to a house in the city in order to be close to him. I was 10 or 11 years old at the time. My younger brothers and I spent quite a bit of time with mom visiting dad, making hotpad-holders and watching movies in the hospital theater.
My experience with the VA began 2 months after my ETS after 3 years in the army in 1970 where I had outpatient surgery to do a biopsy of a service connected lump on my left shoulder which was benign. I didn’t realize it but that was the beginning of my official claim where I was awarded 0% disability.
Over the years I obtained a VA home loan Certificate of Eligibility, treatment at the Boise VA Medical Center’s Emergency Room, educational benefits to obtain a BA degree.
More recently my dealings with the VA have taken a totally different tone as I am one of many Thailand veterans of the Vietnam War suffering from the effects of herbicide (AO) exposure and having to “prove” how we were exposed.
After 22 years of active military service, exposure to herbicides in several worldwide locations, suffering from heart disease and fighting with the VA from 2008 until 2023 to obtain a 100% PT disability rating and receiving the associated back pay it is clear to me that the VA is like its own “pentagon” (Health, Education, Disability, Funerary, and Financial) benefits with literally thousands of employees, many of whom have no prior military background or knowledge of military jargon, composition or assignments, making it difficult for the right hand to know what the left hand is doing.
The Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs is a Presidential political appointment, confirmed by Congress and yet the Under-Secretary is the CEO, and along with the heads of each department makes day-to-day decisions affecting the lives of millions of American veterans and their families.
Healthcare overall is superb and improving, with few exceptions, yet benefit and compensation rules and regulations lack clarity, continuity or consistency resulting in decision making an individual best guess by each claim reviewer. – RTM
For more than 6 years there has been a rush to open the borders of the United States to the illegal migration invasion. Liberals are for it, conservatives against it and until now the general public has been ignoring it.
There have been midnight buses, trains and planes moving illegals into cities across the nation. Democrats want to get these people into non-democratically controlled areas in order to bolster the voter rolls in their favor.
One democratic state governor is threatening to sue a republican state governor for “kidnapping” plane loads of illegals and dropping them off at the democratic state capital, and I‘m not naming names.
But there is a push to house illegals in private homes. (Think about it.)
Democrats seem to be saying it is okay to put illegals into states, cities and homes so long as it is not MY state, city or home. And it’s not only democrats.
If I had my say (and I do in this article) I would take down the names and addresses of ALL 535 members of the Legislative and Executive Branches, as well as those former members of congress still living, who have voted against securing our borders, and send a bus load of illegals to take up residence in their private homes. That is taking responsibility for their legislative actions.
Take that a step further with the 50 state legislatures and governors by sending a bus load of illegals to their homes where they could take up residence.
It is petty bickering by predominately liberal lawyers turned politicians who use the legal tool of suing as a means of controlling the narrative in their favor when things don’t go their way.
This would almost be comical if it weren’t for the fact that every person being affected by this illegal invasion of America is in fact a human life. Feeding or contributing to this miscarriage of justice is being overlooked as breaking the law of our land and fixes nothing.
Entering our nation illegally is a federal offense and violators are subject to being banned from entering the country ever again. Aiding and abetting illegal entry is also a federal offense and violators are subject to fines and/or imprisonment. Transporting illegals is also a federal offense and violators are subject to fines and/or imprisonment. Ignorance of/or ignoring the law is no excuse either. Violating federal and state immigration law for political purposes is criminal. Federal and state immigration laws begin in the legislatures and are signed into law by the Executive Branches.
The worst is apathetic voters who could care less about the welfare or security of our nation and continue to vote slick politicians into office because “that’s the way we’ve always done it”! When a politician is caught “with his or her hand in the cookie jar” it should be the voters who raise up and demand the resignation and criminal prosecution of that politician, based on the evidence of their unlawful/unethical action.
People are not illegal. Entering this country without documentation/for nefarious purposes is illegal. Seeking political or religious asylum is a process (not a privilege or guarantee).
Throughout history the church has sent out missionaries to various continents, nations and tribes seeking to enlarge the kingdom for Christ. In our own communities children are drug to church, youth groups earnestly seek out teens with flashy, splashy gimmicks to get the attention of the lost youth of America.
After becoming Christians we get so caught up in doing the “work of the lord” that we all too often get in the way of what God is doing. It may be that we don’t ask God, but do our good works thinking we are doing it for Him.
I remember a time when I was chasing down a much needed part in order to accomplish a bit of outdoor yardwork for my local church. I had to go across town to get the part and then I had to get to the church and get back to work. I admit I was traveling down a major road in town and when the light in front of me changed to orange, I failed to obey the traffic control device. Immediately as I raced through the intersection I spotted Old Smokey at about the same time as he saw me. I pulled over and waited for the soon approaching red and blue lights as he pulled up behind me.
“License and Registration,” he asked more like a statement than a question. He said I had plenty of time to stop at the light and my feeble excuse of the car behind me didn’t fly. I couldn’t very well tell him I was running an errand for “God” or the “Church” and expect that to go anywhere either. I could see him as he ran my information in the computer.
Shortly he came back to my vehicle and said, “Somebody must be looking out for you” as he handed back my license and registration. Then he said he had to go back to the station and get another ticket book because he’d run out of tickets. He let me off with a warning – “obey those traffic control devices and slow down.” He then got back into his patrol car and pulled away.
I sat there wondering if he really did run out.
So often we miss the point of what God is doing and make a bigger mess by our witness to others by forcibly trying to bring the lost to Christ.
There is a story of a family on their way to church one Sunday morning. A car was following too close (tailgating) and the driver was getting more agitated as he was unable to pass this slow car in front. Finally he saw the opportunity and sped past the slow car. It wasn’t long before the family pulled into the church parking lot, only to see the impatient driver of that faster car was the new pastor who had parked in his designated parking spot.
Makes one wonder about that Sunday’s sermon topic.
Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works.”
The way of the world is “You will do it and you will have fun”.
God’s way is to prepare the hearts of the lost and through the leading of the Holy Spirit which draws the lost to God and his unconditional and unwavering love for everyone.
John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
When God sends you on a mission, he always prepares the way and hearts before you. – RTM
Our culture has grown accustomed to celebrating the 365 days created by God for thousands of differing reasons, some logical while others not so much.
Man continues to profane and make a mockery of what God has created, turning it into something sacrilegious, like pride in oneself, to the point that logic does not enter into it like when somebody comes up with still another way to demonstrate the stupidity of mankind as this CNN article suggests.
Proverbs 16:18
“Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
I once read a news article where someone was stopped by law enforcement for placing a life-size dummy in the front passenger seat in order to drive in the express lane on the freeway. Who was the bigger dummy?
This nonsense about 57 or more different sexual genders or identities where people actually believe that if they identify as a child of another gender it becomes true. It does not. Yet while man is trying desperately to one-up himself, the god of this world goes around like a roaring lion, when in fact he is nothing more than an itty bitty clown.
God actually created man and woman, not man and moron.
Genesis 1:27
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
The sanctity of marriage was created by God to join a man and a woman in holy matrimony and not so a human could “marry” a tree, an animal, each other of the same gender or even themselves.
Take God out of the equation = there is no equation. – RTM
In the book of Genesis, Chapters 6 – 10 is “The Story of Noah” but what is the backstory?
Have you ever wondered who Noah was, where he lived before and after the great flood? Who was Noah’s wife, where was she from? How about Noah’s three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth? Where were they born? How and where did they meet their wives? Where were their wives from?
We read that God called Noah the only blameless person living on the earth at the time and that he walked in close fellowship with God.
The reason Noah and his family were spared from the flood was because of Noah’s relationship with God.
God told Noah to build a large boat according to the specifications of God – Noah obeyed.
Nothing is recorded about whether anyone else in Noah’s family had a relationship, close or otherwise, with God, or whether they contributed to the construction of the boat or did Noah do it singlehandedly.
When God told Noah what type and number of animals to bring into the boat and insure there was food for Noah’s family and the animals – Noah obeyed.
It’s interesting to note that Noah’s relationship with God was such that he never strayed away from God.
After the flood when it was recorded that when God told Noah to take his family and all the animals and leave the boat – Noah obeyed.
God blessed Noah and his sons and told them to be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth.
After Noah grew a vineyard and became drunk of the fruit of the vine, it was his son Ham (the father of Canaan) that saw his father naked and sinned against his father by telling his brothers.
Noah cursed his son and said he and his descendants would be the servant of his brothers and their descendants.
So what is the backstory?
Corny as it may seem, like it or not we are the descendants of Noah and if we can’t get along now we should all go back to the top of Mount Ararat or further back in time, like to the Garden of Eden? If we could just get past the Angel guarding the garden we’d finally have a shot at the Tree of Life and break the first commandment God gave Adam, so that we could become immortal?
The heart of man became evil in the days of Noah and God brought forth the flood. Afterwards God gave a rainbow as a sign that he would never again flood the earth with water.
Now because the heart of man has once again become evil in all his ways, a minuet few flaunt the rainbow as a means of legitimizing their individual and corporate sin against God.
This time God has promised to consume this earth and all of its evil with fire.
But first, the rapture of those who have secured their relationship with God by the saving Blood of Jesus. Salvation comes by no other name. What is the nature of your relationship with God? Do you know him? Read John 3:16 and repent of your sins and then ask God to save you, in the name of Jesus Christ. – RTM
I know you’d expect from this heading it to be about getting married or getting buried. Well I hate to disappoint you but it can’t get much worse, or so I thought.
I’m writing about Presidents (#33 – #46) of the United States during my lifetime. I hadn’t given much thought about the office of the President during my early years until #35 came along and then I wanted to be a Democrat just like him. That was also long before I knew what Democrats and Republicans actually stood for. If I only knew back then what I know now I’d have to have said “Not Much”.
If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.
Let me take the President in the order they served.
33rd POTUS – Harry S. Truman (1945-1953) Democrat (Farmer, Captain Army WWI, businessman, judge, (writer). 34th VP
Harry was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s VP and when FDR died, he inherited getting WWII finished. And then just when everyone thought the really bad stuff was over, along came the Chinese invasion of Korea, called the Korean War. Almost overnight it became clear that some serious stuff was happening. Although the fighting was bloody, there has never been a declaration of peace, since the North Korean aim is to unite Korea under the banner of communism.
34th POTUS – Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961) Republican (General SACDR Europe WWII), (writer)
The next hurdle for America was two-fold: Cuba and Vietnam. Nobody noticed when the motorcade of Eisenhower’s VP was attacked in Central America. At this time Richard Nixon was an unknown political entity.
35th POTUS – John F. Kennedy (1961-1963) Democrat (LCDR WWII, Journalist, Sen MA) – Assassinated in Office
It was this newly elected President who had toured Southeast Asia and authorized Army SF advisors in Laos and Vietnam in order not to send combat troops into Vietnam. While he issued instructions to his advisors that would insure no deployment would happen, those instructions were not followed and he was assassinated before he found that out, or was able to take action.
November 22, 1963 was a pivotal date in my life as it was for most Americans. I was a student at South Junior High School in Boise, Idaho when we got the news about the assassination of President Kennedy, and school was let out early that day.
36th POTUS – Lyndon B. Johnson (1963-1969) Democrat (Teacher, LTJG WWII, politician), (rancher, writer), 37th VP
It was LBJ’s goal to get the US involved in Vietnam and oh boy howdy he accomplished that.
Soon after graduating from Kuna High School (Class of 1967) in Kuna, Idaho I made the decision that forever changed my life – I joined the Army in September 1967. After completing Basic and Individual Training my first duty station was in Southeast Asia (February 1968 – July 1970).
I had been in Thailand for 11 months when Nixon took office. I remember writing a letter to President Nixon about moving all of our troops out of Vietnam and nuking the place. Little did I know or realize just how close I actually was to Vietnam (less than 100 miles). Had he read my letter and done what I suggested I and millions of other people wouldn’t even be here.
It was during this time that I met and married my wife of now 52 years in Thailand and started a family when our first daughter was born in Nampa Idaho during my break from military service.
I rejoined the Army and continued building my military career without giving any more thought to the office of the President or about politics. I wasn’t a Republican or Democrat per say but I do remember voting absentee a few times.
I spent most of these years (74 – 77) stationed in the Canal Zone of Panama. I had enough to keep me occupied and didn’t think about politics.
39th POTUS – Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) Democrat (LCDR WWII, Peanut farmer), (writer, humanitarian), 76th governor GA
I remember bits and pieces of political debate speeches, especially the one made by then candidate Reagan who wanted to give the canal back to Panama the same way we got it (filled in).
40th POTUS – Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) Republican (Actor, Captain Army WWII, 33rd governor CA), (writer)
I had no political persuasion at this time and was questioned about politics not long before President Reagan sent bombers from England to bomb the Libyan President Kaddafi hoping to erase him from the face of the earth (They missed their intended target).
I guess the world saw Reagan as a cowboy when he told Russia’s Gorbachev to take down the Berlin Wall.
41st POTUS – George H. W. Bush (1989-1993) Republican (LT JG WWII, Businessman, politician), (ambassador), (Dir CIA), 43rd VP
The first 2 years of President Bush’s administration I was stationed in Japan. I retired from the army when I came back from duty in Japan and watched my first presidential debate on TV. I was sorely disappointed over the outcome and began to take a bit more interest in politics since I was no longer in uniform, having served six “Commander and Chief’s” during my military career.
42nd POTUS – Bill Clinton (1993-2001) Democrat (Lawyer, politician), (writer, 40th & 42nd governor AR)
Who can forget the Oval Office escapades of “Wild Bill”, but alas he was not the first. Those honors belong to #35 & #36.
I was pretty happy to see the political change in the White House and began to see (what was reported) about the condition the West Wing offices and equipment were left in – computer keyboards super glued and much more and even the unauthorized removal of presidential china when packing up household belongings of the outgoing President.
43rd POTUS – George W. Bush (2001-2009) Republican (Captain TX ANG, Businessman, 46th governor TX)
When 9/11 happened I was shocked as I watched the planes hit the towers. Then I went to work where our company was handling conference calls from offices in the towers. I watched as the President, Vice President and key members of congress were whisked away to undisclosed locations. It was unexpected that the media began to call the president a coward who ran away, when they either didn’t know or didn’t care about protocol during an attack on the United States.
I was proud as the President launched the War on Terrorism and began attacking our enemies abroad. I knew then that he was the right person for the job at that time in history.
I watched as the DNC conducted debates and saw how the Democratic nomination went a political unknown, as it had been expected to go to Hillary Clinton.
44th POTUS – Barack Obama (2009-2017) Democrat (community organizer, Lawyer, State Senator & US Sen IL)
The world was thrilled that the first black American had taken the White House and he was awarded the Noble Prize as great things were expected from him. What America got, was quite the opposite. The most disastrous was Benghazi. Then there was Obama Care, financial bailouts, Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, and Acorn just to name a few.
I was asked by a young black man, “Who is the greatest president?”
I answered, “It depends on who you ask. Some will say the greatest was the last president, while others will say he’s the worst president.”
The political world was turned on its head when a real political outsider went into the White House.
45th POTUS – Donald J. Trump (2017-2021) Republican (Real Estate Developer and entertainer)
The “War on Trump” began in earnest with allegations, investigations, Impeachment 1, the Chinese Virus, Impeachment 2 and casting forth allegations of election interference, followed by the events of J6 (with investigation still ongoing).
The accomplishments of the Trump Administration (Abraham Accord, Funding Traditional Black Colleges, and more) didn’t matter as the “last man standing” announced, from the “Office of the President-Elect” (basement in Delaware), before the Electoral College had even cast their ballots on January 6th, that Trump should concede. Every vestige of political protocol was ignored as the election was finally called and contested for a Biden Administration.
46th POTUS – Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (2021 – Present) Democrat (Lawyer, US Sen DE)
Even as J6 continued to be investigated, Americans hunted down, arrested and imprisoned, the single most dramatic event was the capitulation debacle of exiting Afghanistan (turning and running while leaving American’s and our allies to fend for themselves).
Stopping Trump approved drilling and oil production, opening the US borders (Southern and Northern) to unvetted migration, ignoring existing immigration laws and transporting illegal migrants to various parts of the US have severely crippled national security and migration control.
The biggest problem facing the United States is not enemy states, nor is it White Supremacy as we are told, but it is American Politicians and their back door, dirty dealings that tear apart the very fabric of America. The campaign season of a presidential election year (2024) is upon us and it remains to be seen if there are any patriots of any political persuasion with the political/business savvy and/or common sense to put the interests of the nation ahead of their own political agenda.
I guess the way to gauge a president is by his record. Is/was he a man of his word? Did he do what he said he would?
Did he put his money where his mouth is? By that I mean did he suffer great financial loss or did he gain financially during his term in office?
Did he put America first?
I really hate to say it but the President of the United States is my (and your) president for better or for worse! – RTM
Here we are in 2023 and everyone knows or believes that Trumps a crook, Hillary’s a saint and Biden is the greatest president since…..well since Barack Obama.
If you believe that, you’ve bought into the biggest lie since the serpent conned Eve in the garden.
As I began reading the unedited, un-redacted and full Durham Report I heard that the media is calling it a “Nothing Burger”. I agree on one thing, linking Trump to Russia had no basis and was in fact nothing there.
The fact remains that so many “operatives” of the DNC, Clinton Foundation, DOJ, FBI and NSA-like agencies going all out to destroy the credibility and sully the name of then Candidate and later sitting President Donald J. Trump was and still is unbelievable.
One could hardly believe the talking “parrots” of the mainstream media, (fake news as Trump so accurately called it). Everyone and anyone who called themselves journalists, reporters, and anchors and up to organizational CEOs kept saying what they were told to say and “we the people” were supposed to believe it was true and really happened.
Saul (Alinsky) must have been rolling over in his grave – laughing hysterically!
It was like a never ending “April Fool’s Joke”.
To treat the president with utter distain and total disrespect said more about those who said and did it than the one individual of whom they spoke about – a total disconnect from reality. Really!
Hillary and her peeps were in total shock (again) when Trump beat her at the polls in 2016. It shouldn’t have been that much of a shock. Could she so soon forget that happened in 2008 when that senator from Illinois swooped in and took (stole is too strong a word) the DNC nomination right from under her nose and then went on to take the election using the same tactics that her party used on Trump in 2016?
That’s right.
Why do you think she was appointed Obama’s Secretary of State? Not for the good of the nation, just to keep her under his thumb (so to speak). She couldn’t very well blab about him when she was his representative at the State Department.
Democratic loyalty is a one-way street.
The machinery had been “greased” so to speak and it worked well in 2008, but not so well in 2016. In order for it not to be too obvious there had to be distractions, so blatant and in your face that 2020 would be a piece of cake, only Hillary no longer fit the bill. Her credibility and ego had taken a big hit and needed time to heal.
After the 2020 elections had cooled down why is it that Hillary wasn’t offered a job in the new administration? Saving her strength for a run in 2024 or a run at Biden during his administration? I saw something the other day where Hillary says Biden’s age is an issue…… WOW
Really, isn’t that like the pot calling the kettle black (pc = anti-white)?
Back to the Durham Report which seems to shout out the misconduct of a number of folks but not have been prosecuted for their wrong doings, not yet anyway.
Democrats keep calling Trump a threat to their democracy.
Yes that’s right, a threat to THEIR democracy.
And they are right.
Trump has consistently stood up for our Constitutional-Republic which is not a democracy.
Perception is everything.
Democrats are promoting the idea of changing our nation into a Constitutional-Democracy and people are cheering wildly thinking it’s got to be better than we have now. Well it is not. Remember the “cattle-car” trains in Germany taking the Jews to the gas chambers while the people cheered them on or stood by and did nothing at all?
The Constitution of the United States does not promote democracy, any way, shape or form.
The Constitution is about freedom.
Freedom to worship God,
Freedom of ideas,
Freedom to choose
In every democratic nation in the world individual freedom does not exist, only freedom to obey – or else.
Who would vote for a dogcatcher devoted to putting dogs down after being elected unless it was someone who didn’t like or have dogs?
We as a nation reap what we sow (it’s in the bible) when we continue to vote the way we have always voted, the way our fathers and forefathers have voted, because that’s the way we vote.
It’s time for a change. I mean a real change.
It’s time not to vote for those political dinosaurs in congress (state or federal) because they’ve always been there or any such nonsense. Look at their track record – what have they done for you personally? Vote for the politician who best thinks the way you do. Vote for the politician who holds the same religious views as you. Vote for the politician who values what God values – you!
