Trump Lessons on Democrat Lunacy

1. You’re not too young [or too old] to do  something great – In America with drive and ambition you can do anything
2. You have to love what you do
3. Think big – it’s just as hard to solve a small problem as a big problem and it’s just as much energy….and the result is going to be a smaller one so love what you do and think big
4. Work hard
5. Don’t lose your momentum – if you do, know when to stop
6. Have the courage to be an outsider – take certain risks
7. Trust your instincts (common sense)
8. Everybody believe in the American Dream – it’s right in front of you
9. Think of yourself as a winner (positive thinking)
10. Be an original – God only created one of you
11. Never give up – perseverance is everything – in America the impossible is what we all do best

Why democrat politicians fail:

1. Always playing the “victim” card
2. Denigrating “opposition” voters
3. Passing the buck “it never stops here”
4. Resisting all things Trump
5. Standing on the “wrong” side of right
6. Failing to take care of their constituents (American voters)
7. Declaring America as a failed country
8. Inaccurately calling America a democracy
9. Not understanding that America is a Constitutional-Republic
10. Taking from the rich (or anyone) and giving to the poor or undeserving doesn’t replace the policies of poor leadership or bad decisions

What is the difference in digging a well or a grave? If you don’t know where you are, where you are going or how to get there, how in the world will you know when or if you’ve gotten there if there is no there, there?

Corruption knows no bounds. Corrupt politicians see nothing wrong in being rewarded by what we call “bribes” – because everybody’s doing it, right! Wrong! Right is right and wrong is wrong.

The political systems of America need men and women of integrity who will stand up to tyranny, oppression and corruption.

I watched a portion of the televised congressional hearings with the Senate Finance Committee interrogating Secretary of House and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

What I was and heard was a combination of corrupt senators from both sides of the isle accusing the secretary of incompetency, while justifying or not denying the “in-your-face” corruption of members of congress who demanded his immediate resignation or called for his being fired because the secretary fired the entire CDC board due to their incompetence.

I demand that every member of congress (Senate or House) who has taken or is taking bribes from lobbyist groups, industries or corporations should themselves voluntarily step down and face prosecution.

The last time I checked President Trump is the only one to make that call, but when the president fires someone, they refuse to leave and instead file a lawsuit to prevent them from being ousted.

During the next joint session when members of congress boycott or refuse to do their duty to their constituents, maybe then we could hear President Trump say to those defiant members of congress, “I DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND TO THOSE DEFIANT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS – YOU’RE FIRED”. – RTM

Democrats Should Thank President Trump

If ever the time is right for a political party to rethink their overall strategy it is now. For more than 10 years the Democratic Party’s basket has been filled with Trump’s deplorables and nothing more. We saw severe opposition to Trump during the 2016 election, the 4 years of the first Trump administration, the 2020 election and 4 years of the Biden-Harris administration. The blame for Harris losing to Trump was “I didn’t have enough time to prepare a proper campaign” as her book “107 Days” must really shed some light on how she managed to waste $20M in 107 days, leaving the DNC to foot the bill.

In these first 8 months of Trump’s second administration we have seen many democrats attempt to rise to the top and capture the title “Leader of the Democratic Party”. We have yet to hear how DNC leadership is poised to improve the lives of ALL Americans. All we have seen are Democrats taking up arms in support of illegal immigrant invaders and transgender dysphoria stricken “athletes” and school students wanting into the bathrooms of their biologically opposite sexual students (at any expense). We see Democrats taking up arms in resistance to the deportation of international drug dealers and the repatriation of unaccompanied migrant children brought here under the Biden-Harris administration to work in the fields and as sexual slaves by human traffickers.

What it all boils down to is a nationwide conspiracy to resist all things Trump (including attempted assassination, executive actions and decisions pertaining to the Executive Branch of which the President is constitutionally mandated. I venture to say this all equates to Sedition and/or Treason by current and former elected or appointed officials in their efforts to STOP TRUMP!

Isn’t it time the Democratic Party come to their senses and THANK PRESIDENT TRUMP because otherwise their basket is completely empty. They have nothing to offer to American citizens except threats, fear and control.

Show me one democrat politician with a single idea of how to make our nation strong, great, safe and respected again, at home and abroad and I’ll show you a politician wanting to be a republican but afraid to be ostracized by his party and his constituents. – RTM

Homeland Invasion?

Happy Labor Day America!

If one is to believe the political left politicians like Illinois governor J.D. Pritzker or Chicago Mayor Johnson who believes he fights every day to protect the people of his city, then why are they so dead set against helping the olive branch offered by the White House to fight crime in Chicago?

Democrats seem only to be good at filing law suits. So why not file law suits against criminal elements in their fair city? Why stand idly by while Chicagoans are attacked and murdered in the streets and in their homes? Why are criminals given free rein to do as they please with little to no consequence for their actions, while law abiding citizens are left to themselves but restricted to which weapons they are allowed to use in self-defense?

BAN CRIMINALS, NOT GUNS!

If one takes the recent D.C. crackdown as an example of how crime can be brought down and murders stopped in a few short days, would not Chicagoans be safer if the same tactics are brought to bear in their neighborhoods? The same could be said to every democratic run state and city across America?

Maybe the problem is that while democrats run a really good election campaign, they are simply not capable or willing to fight for the safety and rights of their electorate, but choose to be on the losing side of right versus wrong?

I live in the blue state of Colorado where crime has gone over the top and I welcome the use of federal law enforcement AND EVEN National Guard troops if it will stop the bad guys in their tracks and make our cities and our state safer.

So why has American troops been sent globally to fight terrorists and criminals in other countries but forbidden from being used as an effective deterrent to crime on our homeland?

I have a stern warning for politicians who are unwilling or unable to protect AMERICANS – get out of office and go back to being one of us and let real men and women of honor lead the way with responsible leadership.

One quick lesson: When soldiers see figures advancing in their fields of fire they are the enemy and must be dealt with immediately and unhesitatingly (enemy in front, friends on either side and behind!).

God – Family – Country!

This should never be a political football issue of left versus right or political party against political party. In fact politicians are elected to take care of ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS AND FOREIGN VISITORS against law breakers and criminal elements no matter where they are in our country. – RTM

Trumps Policies Strike Fear and Division

If you believe the mainstream media “Fake News” their take on President Trump’s law and order mandate would have you believe that Trump is striking fear and division across America.

Beginning with the federalization of the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan police and the activation of the National Guard in a few short days bad guys were put behind bars, crime went way down and during the first seven days no murders happened in Washington D.C.

The President has identified several major crime cities lead by blue democrat mayors and blue democrat governors have publicly come out against Trump’s law enforcement officers coming down squarely on the side of criminals.

I’m sure that plans are underway to use D.C. as the model for dealing with crime and criminals in cities and states across the nation. It would behoove these politicians to get on board the “Law and Order Train” by eliminating liberal restrictions on local law enforcement and when needed reaching out to federal agencies for assistance in arresting bad guys and bringing the crime rate down. Law and Order and public safety is the primary responsibility of government!

What these blue state politicians fail to realize is that federal agents do not have to obtain “permission” to enforce federal statutes and laws ANY WHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. That alone could spell serious trouble for those who choose to hinder, interfere, or obstruct federal officers in the performance of their official law enforcement duties.

So the charge that President Trump is striking fear and division is a true statement considering that the bad guys fear their reign of terror is coming to an end. Justice will prevail!

Americans need only to see the number of elected or appointed democrats who feel like America has been their oyster and it was their duty to pick it clean. As the Trump D.O.J. continues their investigative efforts to uncover blatant and obvious wrongdoing by certain “untouchables” it will soon be apparent that accountability is coming to America.

When I was a child I used to have bad dreams where I was being chased and just before I was caught I would whirl around saying I was one of them. We would go off to chase someone else and then I would wake up.

The problem is that blue democrats have contracted a serious mental disease called “Trump Derangement Syndrome”, a dream from which they are unable to wake up.

Americans must separate themselves from those affected by TDS, stop watching or listening to the fake news media and decide for themselves whether politicians and their policies allow or restrict them from fully living the American Dream.

Life, Liberty, National Security, Freedom, Safety, and “Justice for All” begins right here, right now – with You and with Me! – RTM

On The Trump – Putin Summit

Here’s my take on the summit, when President Trump announced he was meeting with Russian President Putin everyone was wondering why not with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Trump offered no explanation. Finally the date 8-15-2025 and location Alaska were announced. It was said that Putin had his own deal to present to Trump, but nobody knew anything about it.

After Air Force One had touched down and taxied to the apron the red carpet was rolled out as a formality to welcome Presidents Trump and Putin as they moved with a purpose and met center stage with a firm handshake and a warm greeting.

I imagined that Putin’s first words to Trump could have been “Welcome to Russia Comrade President Trump, we decided to take Alaska back!” he could have said with a wry smile…but when the B2 and its F22 fighter jet escorts flew overhead it would have been Trumps “Don’t even go there look” to have foiled that notion.

It was apparent to everyone that no deal of substance was agreed to that would immediately end the war with Ukraine or stop the killing as there would be other meetings to be scheduled. More importantly as Trump had said in the past, the real deal has to be between Russian President Putin and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. All Trump could do was conduct a carrot and stick approach to getting things moving.

Trump held a 2 hour telephone call with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy which I’m sure was to brief him on the progress made and on the sticking points that still need to be worked out. In the meantime soldiers and civilians are dying needlessly and it is Trump’s sincere desire to get the killing stopped. – RTM

Bringing Accountability

For all you naysayers who are saying that Trump is on a crusade to bring vengeance upon his political enemies you are greatly mistaken.

In fact if you line up all the people – politicians, fake news media corporate officers and talking heads, and those on social media – who have been preaching the evils of Donald Trump going back the past 10 years there is no way that any of them are expected to be held accountable for their actions of smearing (personally, professionally and politically) the name of Donald J. Trump to the point of untold numbers of legal attacks held publically in plain view for all to see leading to biased court rulings, unimaginable and unjust fines as well as innuendo’s that cast a great cloud of doubt as to the patriotism and honesty of President Donald J. Trump (#45-47) except they didn’t count on the determination and the extent Trump’s quest for justice and accountability for them to face for all their lies and false accusations.

When you add in the entirety of the federal government, administrative cabinet secretaries, senior level staff and even the mindless minions who fell for it all hook, line and sinker the list would probably reach the moon and back, several times over.

I personally would never have guessed the extent of power and corruption of the deep state or that any one man could singlehandedly (with the right supporting people) either could or would attempt to right the ship of state called the United States Government.

I have watched with horror and now mild amazement as the chickens come home to roost. Democratic operatives, White House staff, Democratic Party officials and even Congressional Democrats are finding out that wrong is wrong no matter how you attempt to justify it publically.

Even now dems are saying how incompetent President Trump is, when for 4 years they vouched for the competency of President Biden (right as rain they said). Dems say Trump is throwing up political smokescreens with the D.C. takeover so as to hid his involvement hidden in the Epstein files or his failing international tariffs (that are not failing) when the real reason Trump is moving at a pace so fast that Nancy Pelosi couldn’t keep up in a high-speed walker, is simple – Trump believes in and loves America and the American people working those low paying jobs (fast food, food service, sanitation, and even field workers).

It would tickle my heart to see a great number of people getting their official photographs, fingers printed and those silver bracelets as they are processed in to actual government housing facilities (not the country club, feel good ones without guards). But then again maybe I’m just a dreamer. – RTM

Homelessness

What causes people to become homeless in the first place? Is it circumstance, habit or choice?

Most people (myself included) simply look the other way or ignore the obvious – these are people who maybe down on their luck, destitute or just plain hungry. You have probably heard the stories like I’ve heard where someone parks their high end automobile in a business parking lot, gets out wearing their “homelessness” attire and grabs their sign to begin their fulltime job on the corner. Some even bring a dog (maybe not even their dog) to garner sympathetic support and a lot of extra bucks. Or the guy who rides a commuter bus to another city, begs for 4+ hours and then catches the return commuter bus back to where he started out (all in a day’s work).

These are just some of the questions I have when I see people panhandling, sitting on street corners begging or bum rushing cars at intersections with unsolicited wash your window for money schemes and businesses are begging for workers.

How is homelessness being dealt with? Is there a cure for homelessness? Finally who is ultimately responsible for ending homelessness?

Is homelessness confined to large inner cities or urban areas? I’ve seen the “tent cities” up in inner cities, downtown streets have people sleeping on the streets (sleeping bags, shopping carts full of possessions, and one enterprising individual staked out an area in a vacant lot and had a lawn mower where he kept his area clean and neat.

Some say it’s the government, others say the “church”, while still others say it’s everybody’s responsibility. What say you? I say to a certain degree – all three.

So how do we change it?

Government can provide programs that can help lift an individual out of poverty; churches can provide food, clothing and shelter; and everybody can offer friendship, assistance and instruction.

The problem is whether the homeless individual is really wanting or asking for help out of the situation they find themselves in.

It’s impossible to help someone who doesn’t think they need or want your help.

Farmers, ranchers and business owners and managers are always looking for workers who take pride in themselves and bring forth a good attitude with dedication and commitment.

I once read of a “homeless” man who went to a church service where the “new” pastor was about to address the congregation for the first time. As the homeless man walked in and moved past the congregation to sit on the first row nobody said a word, however an usher or deacon approached the man and politely asked him to move to the back or outside as his appearance and body smell was offending everyone around him. The man refused to move.

Finally it was time to introduce the new pastor, yet the deacon who had been waiting patiently for him to arrive got up and made an announcement about waiting a moment longer for the new pastor who was a highly respected and well education theologian.

At that time the “homeless” man stood up and took to the pulpit. He introduced himself and his sermon was on Jesus’s sermon about the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) and everyone bowed their heads in shame.

We are not to look down on others, regardless of their outward appearance, the color of their skin or their racial background as everyone is equally made in the image of God.

We are instructed to Love God, Our Neighbors and when possible to live in peace with everyone. Let us start with our homeless neighbors who may just need a hand up instead of a hand out. – RTM

D. C. Under Attack 

One of today’s talking points in the news was President Trump’s announcement of the public safety threat in the Nation’s Capital. Trump federalized the Capital Police and activating the National Guard under 740 of DCs Home Rule Act.

Almost immediately protesters hit the streets in front of the White House with protest leaders repeatedly shouting over megaphones “DC Under Attack what do we do?”

When Eric Tarpinian-Jachym a 21 year old congressional intern was killed on 30 June 2025, Mayor Bowser referenced him as “#84”. I wonder what number the 3 year old girl killed a short time later was?

DC is just another blue sanctuary city where the cost in human life is simply another senseless number.

I answer the chant “DC under attack what do we do?” With this simple message “WHAT WE DO IS BACK THE BLUE” and take our cities back one at a time starting with DC. – RTM

The Elephant in the Room is a Donkey

I know what you’re thinking but the real truth about is what is happening before our very eyes is a total political meltdown by the Democratic Party.

Since the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 and installing Lyndon B. Johnson as his predecessor the Democrats have been “calling the shots” from the liberal side of the political aisle. They have gone from being the party of the working man to becoming the defender of non-working Americans and migrant invaders while further dividing the nation along racial and sexual orientational lines as well as political identities.

President Kennedy said ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what can you do for your country and he was soon assassinated for thinking outside the box. Neither Johnson, nor presidents after him have truly looked out for the good of American citizens.

I have to believe that the United States has been run by a cabal of incompetent politicians, many of whom spent their entire adult lives inside the political establishment in Washington D.C. They may have begun their “careers” in congress, but seeing the White House from a distance obtained the notion that it was theirs for the taking. Moving from legislator to executor seemed logical.

The problem is and always has been that while serving in congress gives politicians a certain sense of power, there are not many who proved themselves (wrote bills that became law until signed by the president) with their name attached. In fact many of the laws on the books lacked adequate review and/or revision or updating, i.e. Immigration or national security. Everything seems to have always been done that way and why fix it?

President Reagan was an actor turned politician and he was despised because he was a D.C. Republican outsider not easily controlled or figured out. His international clout may have been due to his persona on “Death Valley Days” as a gun slinging cowboy.

As if on que a number of Democrat politicians fancy themselves as entertainers or media rock stars, Bill Clinton and his Sax; Barack Obama and his linguistic way with words and his appearances on the late night talk show circuit. Several others see getting interviews on Legacy Media programs as their 60 minutes of fame. Even those congressional democrats who purposefully make a scene trying to break into federal detention centers may be telling us that is where they actually belong?

A famous person once said, “When you find yourself digging a hole so deep you can’t seem to get out – STOP DIGGING” (I just don’t recall who that famous person was).

It’s been six months since the democrats have had a party leader (not including the 4 years of Biden/Harris Administration) and the party is floundering like a headless chicken. Oh there are many “rock stars” immerging in the limelight, but not a one has a fresh idea of what ails the country or how to fix it. Their only goal is to resist Trump, at all costs. Soon they may realize that the cost includes them.

It’s too bad that they refuse to get involved in fixing the nation’s ills and being seen on the winning team fighting for the safety and security of ALL Americans. They can’t even take credit for being there. America deserves better. – RTM

Getting Around To It 

Someone once said, “There is no cause to nag a man for not doing something he’s put off for the last six months” now is there?

Sometimes today young people try to impress others who’ve encouraged or prodded them toward a certain goal or objective  that aims to produce positive results if followed by saying “I’m fixing to” or as we used to say “when I get around to it’.

By the time they “come around” with a changed attitude it is quite often too late and plays out like a Shakespearean tragedy.

I must remind myself that we learn the easy way, the hard way or our way.

We tell ourselves that “someday” we’ll get around to it and by that day we’re not physically able to enjoy or accomplish that vacation road trip. – RTM
