The Proverbial Fox Guarding the Henhouse

I’m reminded of growing up in the farmlands of Southwestern Idaho in the 1950s and 1960s where we had a slew of farm animals, dogs and cats. Our family was known for raising prize winning porkers. Those were the days of working alongside seasonal workers in the fields picking fruits and veggies.

We had to watch out for were foxes. They were notorious for getting into the chicken coop after eggs and a chicken or two that didn’t get away fast enough. Often it necessitated shoring up the chicken coop with good old chicken wire and buttoning up the chickens inside the chicken coop at night and let the yard dog prowl at night.

After we moved to the big city the scenario changed but still stores were locked at night and those with high priced jewelry and high ticket items would hire security guards. Even junkyards had security, usually a couple of mean old dogs who’d tear you apart if they got hold of you trying to get in for some parts using the five-finger discount method.

Today everyone wants to make lots of money while doing as little work as possible. New fast food hires begin with mopping, sweeping and emptying trash while learning to flip burgers and fries all the while dreaming of being the boss where nobody gives them orders.

Those who make it through law school hang a shingle outside their office wall and begin looking for that one client in need. I call those lawyers by what they do chase ambulances.

Those who go into politics can be something else altogether. It’s hard to find an honest politician because the bad apples tend to spoil the whole barrel. When they make it to the big time in political circles something happens. Either they become disillusioned at how “business as usual” is done in D.C. circles and go back home or they become something of a rebel. They violate the first rule of congressional politics – “Don’t rock the boat”!

There are many who make a career out of congressional politics. I call them homesteaders. They carve out their territory and keep working to gain more influence and power. They stopped seeing themselves as public servants. They are like the fox hired to protect the chickens as they see themselves as a sort of “Robin Hood” taking from the rich and storing it up.

I like to think these lifetime politicians are more like security guards. They come on “duty” to protect American citizens and to defend the Constitution, yet the reality is they systematically turn off all security systems, unlock and open the doors wide while they invite and assist in emptying the store. If they were anything other than politicians, we’d be calling them what they really are – “Criminals”!

The Constitution has instituted what is called the Separation of Powers between the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches of government as a means of checks and balances of power to prevent one branch from unduly influencing any other. After more than 240 years we are at the point where the Legislative Branch IS unduly influencing the Executive Branch. Under the guise of C19 they are literally raping America in ways never before thought possible.

The Biden “bully pulpit” is seen as “The Buck Never Stops Here” and his Build Back Better policy of razzing the foundation of the nation one building block at a time as personal liberty and freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution are no longer absolutes to be protected.

According to the Biden playbook “Fear” is the only absolute. Fear of death by C19 is seen as the worst possible outcome from a virus with a more than 99% rate of survival. Meanwhile in America providing a living for our families will soon be a thing of the past, unless one becomes a member of the ruling class or submits to their ridiculous demands. Fear is a powerful tool. Life without God is a dog eat dog world.

The constant in life is change and death is a natural part of life. Life does not end with death. What happens after death is determined by what you do now. The non-believer will spend eternity is a place where there is nothing good. The believer in Jesus as the Christ will spend eternity with God who alone is good.

The Plan Is Working

The president said both his Build Back Better plan and his Vaccination Mandate is working and I must ask how so? I see eliminating everything Trump was a great idea for Biden but in order to build back don’t you have to first tear down?

• It first stopped the XL Pipeline and eliminated American jobs while making us totally dependent on foreign oil.
• It then stopped construction on the wall, although $300+M in supplies already purchased under contract and stored on site have been allowed to sit in the sun while more than 600,000 undocumented migrants have been hand-carried through the US-Mexico Border, loaded on buses and transported to the American interior without monitoring or tracking.
• It began with mandating all government vehicles must become electric by a certain date in the immediate future.
• Then came everybody must continue to wear masks, inside, outside, in the air, under water or anywhere on a US government facility regardless of vaccination status.
• Then vaccine passports and masking are required for international air or sea travel.
• Next came mandating all government personnel military or civilian must become vaccinated unless qualifying for White House, Congress, vaccine manufacturing organizations, certain medical or religious exemption or become unemployed.
• Employers who have unvaccinated employees will be fined by the government $7,000 per person for those not fired.
• Undocumented illegal migrants are automatically exempt from masking, vaccinations, testing or monitoring.

The president also has said that the super-rich will pay their fair share in taxes, and the vice president said that corporations must begin paying their fair share. That being said do these political geniuses understand that small businesses are unable to meet customer demands, supply chains have begun drying up due to logistical snafu’s and soon there will be NO tax revenue being generated?

Corporations that supply national defense will no longer be able to meet contractual deadlines or pay penalties for a government inspired reduction in force, therefore generating no income stream which will result in NO tax revenue.

This raping of America over the coals of congressional and presidential malfeasance is causing catastrophic failure of an economy worse than any other in American history. To consider Biden policies a total success and working as planned one must assume that the tearing down of America’s infrastructure of goods and services, law enforcement and seriously weakening of national security and crippling America’s national defense is not arbitrary but deliberate much like a bull inside a china shop choosing to leave not through the open door, but through the wall. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Who Do You Trust?

As a general rule we Americans are a trusting lot. We give strangers the benefit of the doubt and are quick to place our complete trust and confidence in others UNTIL that trust becomes misplaced, misused or violated.

As Christians we are taught to place our trust in God alone because it is the sin nature of man that always lets us down.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humans. (Psalm 118:8, NIV)

https://www.cru.org/us/en/train-and-grow/spiritual-growth/trusting-god-verses.html

I was just a lad when Congress passed a joint resolution to add “In God We Trust” to our currency as a reminder in whom our trust lies.

A law passed in a Joint Resolution by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by President Dwight Eisenhower on July 30, 1956, declared “In God We Trust” must appear on American currency. This phrase was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_We_Trust

In American politics we hear promises to the moon and back, where we are smooth talked into believing that our best interests are foremost on the minds of those courting our vote. By now we know when a politician is lying – their mouth is moving.

In Matthew 7:15 Jesus said ““Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

https://www.biblehub.com/matthew/7-15.htm

In 2015 when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president he made three promises that caused me to laugh when he said he was going to “Build the Wall”, “Drain the Swamp” and “Make America Great Again”.

I was a bit skeptical to say the least.

Building the wall actually made sense because it would help control who and what crosses our border. Obama said it was necessary when he became president, as did Bush before him and do my knowledge there were only feeble attempts made, like a barbed wire fence to keep cattle from getting through, but nothing like a bonafide barrier or wall.

Draining the swamp seemed to be needed in the DC corridor where politicians did their dirty deeds and reaped the benefit of their political pork deals and Trump was a political outsider who seemed well suited to begin the process.

Make America Great Again seemed just a slogan. America has always been a heavyweight in world affairs. Our military might has been felt across the globe as we engage a number of hostile forces and rogue regimes committing human rights abuses upon their people and as the force behind the United Nations. It wasn’t until Obama that I heard such utter nonsense like “America was never great” from the mouth of the First Lady Michelle Obama. It was like a kick in the gut!

So skeptical is a word that described my feelings when I heard these political promises coming from the mouth of someone who said he wouldn’t stop until he made good on his promises that seemed impossible to keep.

At the same time I wanted to believe. America needed someone to believe in, someone to trust that could turn the nation around. It’s just that nobody in politics knew Trump, except his showmanship and grandstanding on television. They just couldn’t get behind this super-rich guy whom they felt had no political history backing him up.

My hang up was Trump’s religious background or as I figured his lack of one. So I did a Google search and found an interesting book “The Faith of Donald J. Trump” where at least I would learn what kind of faith he had since this book was written by two Christian journalists of different religious faiths and with full access to Trump. What I discovered hidden within the pages of this book forever changed my attitude about Trump and confirmed to me that this man was on a mission to bring patriotism lost to the Obama years back to America.

I began blogging about Trump in a feeble attempt to enlighten America on why I felt that Trump was the right man for the job. Americans felt Trump wasn’t suited for the job. He had all the toys a rich man could want. He had more money than we could ever dream of, so why would he chance giving it all up for the presidency? It simply boggled the mind. Christians felt his temper and vocabulary were simply not that of a Christian. From all outward appearances he was a womanizer, a hard partier and spent money like it poured from a faucet.

As Christians we tend to run to God when things aren’t going well in our lives. We treat God as our own personal genie in the great beyond. We know he’s there, but unless our relationship is kept alive we only call on him to fix something for us. Unbelievers (non-Christians) blame God when things go wrong and everything is God’s fault.

What I know is that God is in complete control and has been since before the beginning of time and space as we know it. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing is by “chance”.

In Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

I read in the book concerning prophesies spoken to and about Trump about his future presidency where he was compared to Cyrus in Isaiah 45. Also about Trump being God’s sword to the Spirit of Political Correctness that had taken hold of our nation and much of the world we live in.

Six years later I can say with absolute certainty that the root of the swamp in DC is at the Temple of Democracy, the very heart of political correct movement in our country. The fervor, anger and intensity directed at Donald Trump during and after his presidency is testament to that fact. The demagogues in the upper echelons of government consider Trump the greatest threat to democracy and have taken extraordinary steps to silence and prevent him from returning to political office. Even now they are afraid he will reenter the political fray.  

We have become a pop-tart nation wanting our right to fun loving sexual freedom, at the expense of human life and wanting them now without restriction.

The tenets of our nation – Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are no longer sacred and the god of our nation is control, money and power – WE WANT TO CONTROL OUR OWN DESTINY!

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Some have questioned why the United States is omitted from the end time biblical prophesies and I agree with those who see the premature demise of this nation because collectively we have forgotten who we have placed out trust in. We no longer hold true the values of the Ten Commandments from God, nor even the Bill of Rights (1-10 Amendments) or our Constitution. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

California – Nightmare for Truckers

The news declares that ships stacking up at the international shipping ports are the culprit behind the ever deepening logistical and supply line shortage affecting goods and services at stores nationwide, like the toilet paper shortage of 2020.

President Biden says his administration is “on it” to get those ships offloaded in short order. This is the same administration that is pressing forward with mandating the jab for truckers who traditionally travel alone or in driving pairs and pose no threat of spreading the C19 virus.

Florida Governor DeSantis said bring those backlogged ships to Florida and they will easily get offloaded and distributed. What’s not being talked about is that for each container ship docked at the ports in California they would have to get to Florida which is no easy task.

In fact each container ship would have several options:

• Transit around South America and back up to the Florida coast,
• Transit the Panama Canal no longer under US control, resulting in a tremendous backlog of ships waiting to transit the canal and incurs a huge price tag to pass through the canal.
• Continue waiting in the queue for a turn at getting unloaded.
• Turn around and return to the overseas port of origin and wait to be unloaded.  

Meanwhile back in California this insight from an over the road trucker provides an entirely new take on what’s happening under Governor Newsome.

The news says the California port situation is caused by a driver shortage. It’s easy to blame it on these logistical truckers who travel millions of miles annually bringing the goods. Before we believe the news that has a track record of misinformation let us take a look at California laws affecting truckers,

California Truck Ban called AB 5:

• Bans ALL trucks 2011 and older.
• Prohibits Owner Operators (self-employed non-union drivers).
• Trucks must become electric by 2035 or become illegal.
• Trucks manufactured before 2010 that have not met the new Truck and Bus Regulation as of 2020 are automatically blocked from being registered at statewide DMVs.
• New “health-based requirements” must be met before drivers are allowed to register his or her truck through the DMV.

California is the state that blocked plastic straws, not homeless campers on city streets statewide.

California is the state that recently banned small lawnmower engines.

California is no longer a business friendly state.

As a retired military truck driver I would not recommend having my professional career cut short by idiotic PC rules, regulations, laws or mandates. I recommend relocation from California to a state where freedom, personal rights and professional opportunity abound.

It began with a manmade biological agent (virus) unleashed upon the world, leading to self-isolation, masks and social distancing, dividing the populace as essential vs non-essential, getting the jab to stop the spread to where we are currently vaxx vs unvaxx. We will never reach a point where this C19 ceases to be a threat or an item of controlling the global population with vaxx passports. There is one immediate option – JUST SAY NO! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

A Truly Divided House

During the Iraq war President George H.W. Bush used the term “Shock and Awe” to describe the effectiveness of American firepower against Saddam Hussein’s military regime that shocked his troops as they stood in awe. In fact the entire offensive herded Iraqi soldiers all the way back and into Iraq where American forces were ordered to stop. After the events of 9/11/2001 President George W. Bush issued his declarative “War on Terrorism” speech where it gave notice to the world that you were either with us or against us as America hunted down Iraq’s Saddam Hussein where he was executed on 12-30-2006. As America continued the war on terror President Barrack H. Obama conducted his worldwide apology tour before ordered the execution of Al-Qaeda mastermind Osama Bin laden in Pakistan on 5-2-2011, and pushed for regime change for Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi who was killed on 10-20-2011. As the war on terror continued in Afghanistan President Donald J. Trump ordered the complete dismantling of Al-Qaeda and execution of high level Al-Qaeda operatives and relegated the Taliban to hiding inside Pakistan. Although the nation rallied behind each of these presidential actions, the extended war on terror began to weigh heavily due to the cost and lives lost during these endless wars.

Change was about to come to America’s heartland.

Under Obama allegiance to our flag was no longer required and division came in differing forms and shapes. Public displays of loyalty to our nation were no longer encouraged or tolerated. Public displays of distrust and anger carried down from the Oval Office where criminal behavior was caused because of racist police.

Under Trump patriotism was seen as white supremacy, immigration reform was seen as racist and public demonstrations against law enforcement was seen as freedom of speech. Government ordered removal of statues, gave way to placing statues of public criminals in their place. Constant bombardment of the sitting president led to his impeachment (twice), his being banned on social media, and an orchestrated insurrection led to his supporters being imprisoned without charges for extended periods of time without bond.

Under Biden freedom is being viciously attacked and patriotism is seen as anti-American and racist. American sovereignty has been compromised by an invading army of undocumented and unvetted migrants with complete presidential immunity. Using the C19 China Virus as a Trojan horse the nation has launched unprecedented political attacks on American citizens with unfounded mandates for masking and vaccines which do little to eradicate the effects of the virus. Jobs are being forfeited, professions wasted and families are losing their freedom and their livelihood for the “common good” as this administration begins monitoring the financial assets of its citizens, under the guise of making the super-rich pay their fair share.

In Mark 3:25, Jesus states, “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

I venture to say that America is such a house, divided by racial ethnicity, finances, sexual persuasion, and religions preferences and basic human rights given by Almighty God as written in and protected by the US Constitution. America has been lulled into a false sense of security where danger around every corner is presented simply as fake news.

What if, the hordes of invaders, swarming across the US southern border, or flown in on “evacuation” flights out of Afghanistan and elsewhere allowed to migrate freely across the A

But what if, the hordes of invaders, swarming across the US southern border, or flown in on “evacuation” flights out of Afghanistan and elsewhere allowed to migrate freely across the American heartland are in fact Biden’s Trojan Horse brought or allowed in for the specific purpose of marshalling covert bands of Islamic marauders to inflict the final death blow to our form of government and physical death to the unsuspecting US population as they are doing in countless nations around the globe?

We’ve seen the Toyota pickup gun trucks all over Afghanistan and elsewhere used by Taliban and Al-Qaeda – what if we suddenly start seeing them like an invasion force snaking across this country? Multi-pronged attack forces hitting inner cities where LEOs are under attack and the feds not doing anything? People would be slow to react until it’s too late.

Just saying we’re already under assault from so many sides as it is that people are wary of another “threat” scenario. It could morph from ISIS flags to BLM or ?? and nobody would be the wiser? Would or could we be ready? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

God Created the Box

Why is it so hard for man to live as God intended? We look at life through the skewed perspective of one of God’s creation, but we think everything revolved around us. Does that come from our upbringing, our environment, (who our parents are, where we live, go to school) or where we work?

We see things in black and white where everything is either right or wrong. The trouble with that is with our interpretation of what is right and what is wrong, what is the baseline?

Religion tells us to be good to others because what you do will come back to you – Karma. You are a human in this life, but in the next you may be something lessor, like a frog.

What we see from Hollywood says we must be thinner, or muscular, or lighter, darker or something that we are not meant to be. Surely if there is a god in heaven he must have made a mistake and we spend our life living a lie. We don’t love who we are and we think God made a mistake when he created us.

We are so caught up living inside the box we have created for ourselves, like actors on a stage. We must look a certain way, live a certain way and act a certain way to stay within the norm of our “box” life.

Biblical teaching says to love one another as God loves us. We are to love others as we love ourselves. We are to love God and when within our power to live peaceably with others.

Man has this unique way, maybe it’s more of an insecure way of looking at God. We think that God surely should have done things differently. If he is real, he wouldn’t let people do what they do to other people. But then whether through ignorance or arrogance we collectively stand up for the right to choose death to others and that’s okay.

God told us not to kill, covet, worship other gods, and disobey our parents, steal or gossip. He wrote them in stone and we have passed it down from generation to generation, and we choose to ignore his commandments. Even though he said it would prolong our life.

We think we are indestructible. We search for the secret to the fountain of youth. We use plastic surgery, skin creams and lotions to slow the aging process. We blame everything on climate change, when we as humans may be the biggest part of that change.

There are many who put God in a box, like a genie in a bottle or an insurance policy – just in case of emergency. We forget one teeny weeny little thing – God is not man that he should lie, and God created the box in which we live. God is always accessible on “Faithtime” – try him!

We could never create a box large enough or strong enough to contain God, Creator of Life! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Get Back to Patriotism without Politics

I remember the good old days when Americans were flag waving, red white and blue loving patriotic lovers of our great country without the political correctness and politics dividing our nation today. Kids said the pledge of allegiance at school, sang the Star Spangled Banner and could go outside and play all day without fear. Small town America had carnivals, county and state fairs with cotton candy, rides, farm animals and rodeos. Everybody decked out in cowboy boots, Levi’s, flannel shirts, cowboy hats and big wide belt buckles. Sunday’s were the days to worship God, listen to bible stories and sing about Jesus. Neighborhood dogs would wander at will or sleep on the porch and nobody locked their doors at night and those were the good old days.

Where did it all go? Are we not the same people? Do we not have the same dreams?

American’s are God fearing, fun loving, bible thumping, gun toting, watermelon tasting, corn on the cob and mom’s apple pie eating, cool aid drinking, horse shoe throwing people who jump at helping neighbors in distress. Americans are neighborly, kind people who would give the shirt off their back without wanting anything in return.

What was the turning point that changed America?

Was it the war in Vietnam, Iraq or the events of 9/11/2001?

When did America sell its soul to the devil?  

Is it too late to bring back the nation that I loved?

Have we gone from “All for One” to a “Free for All” mentality?

Does it really matter the color of one’s skin or where our families have come from?

America was founded on the backs of migrants who came to this land for a better life for raising their families. Americans have always overcome the barriers and obstacles in their paths. Americans have risen to the task of one people, one purpose when the chips are down and when it really matters. Americans have taught our children the heritage of our family lineage and how we got to the land of the free, the home of the brave. We have stressed the sky is the limit and the only one who can prevent you from moving ahead is you.

Believe it or not, but America was NOT founded on political parties. In fact the parties of today are vastly different than those which they were founded on. The political left and political right are intended to divide the nation, like two wings on a chicken.

How high can a chicken fly?

We are at a point in our nation’s history where its present course is unsustainable. Our Legislative Branch is so divided and fueled by its love for power and control of other people’s money and every battle is one of wits. Our Executive Branch is become an extension of the Legislative Branch, no longer bound by the separation of powers. Much of what happens in the Judicial Branch is weighted by political leanings rather than in the Constitution.

America must come together once again as one people and curtail the abuses predicated on the people by a rudderless federal government. After 240+ years we are once again faced with taxation without representation as legislators have decided to place foreigners ahead of American citizens. We must get off our high horse, humble ourselves before Almighty God and ask for divine guidance and deliverance before it’s too late.

We must ask God to Bless America once again. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Entertainer

Life can be filled with challenges and sometimes we are faced with the unexpected or the most unlikely. It politics it is mostly the same old same ole with a different wrapper. It can be like watching your favorite television show and finding out your favorite star has been replaced by someone who just doesn’t fit the bill.

I used to watch “The West Wing” where President Josiah “Jed” Bartlet played by Martin Sheen was a most likeable president yet made some the best policy decisions ever made by a republican president – BUT he was a democrat. The acting was top notch and the script was pretty good. What I liked was how we got an inside look at the 1999 White House. Of the many shows and productions I felt that Martin Sheen did a pretty good job, although I liked his acting I couldn’t stand his personal politics and that used to give me all kinds of fits.  

Fast forward to June 16, 2015 when Donald Trump accompanied by his wife Melania ascended the escalator at Trump Tower to announce he was running for president. Up until that moment in time there was no trump mania, nobody outside of New York’s social circles knew or cared about him. If they dealt with him on a professional basis that had a healthy respect him or were out looking for a new line of work. Like many I had no feelings one way or the other, thinking it was just a political stunt to get people to tune in to The Apprentice so he could say “You’re fired!”

His flashy hairdo, debonair business attire, flashy toys, and his fabulous women did not fit the bill of anyone wanting to be presidential, or so I thought. During the GOP debates it wasn’t until the second one when we saw that aggressive “grab them by the throat” attack style that I was completely turned off to his style and at this point I knew absolutely nothing about him.

It was the debates between him and Hillary that were the most revealing. She had preview to the questions and acceptable answers and he did not. Her answers were prepared and his were off the cuff, more his style. What he lacked in prepared or scripted answers he made up by a seemingly unending supply of one liners or pet names that usually stuck while causing anger from the other side. His crooked Hillary was a good one. On the other hand she lashed out in frustration at Trump supporters by calling us a Basket of Deplorables. She had to reach deep inside to get that one. Trump’s popularity grew tremendously and by Election Day it was obvious that he had won.

What happened after Election Day is what surprised everyone. Hillary’s army of supporters went into a severe fit of depression. Everything about Trump depressed them even more and they used a diaper pin as their shield of protection. After that came the torrent of anger at losing to someone who wasn’t even a politician.

By the time of the Inauguration anger had morphed into a full blown rage and the tweets by the president-elect were causing mini-fits out of elected officials of both parties. Those who had their feelings hurt, or were sore at being picked on by Trump.

I don’t know what people expected? Trump was obviously no saint, nor was he a politician and with no military experience outside of military school how was he to become the nation’s Commander in Chief. More importantly he just wasn’t presidential and that is a must for a president, right?

As the media began their vendetta against Trump, his only weapon seemed to be his social media tweets on Twitter. It was during this time I decided to get on Twitter so I could see with my own eyes what he was tweeting, without some go-between telling me this is what the president meant.

The attacks on Trump became progressively more and more deadly. There were threats on his person, his presidency, his supporters and these were from elected officials – Members of Congress. They drummed up false charges, threatened impeachment continually and accused his campaign of conspiring with Russia to hurt Hillary’s run.

What the leftists do not know, nor understand is that we didn’t vote for Trump because of his good looks, his dapper attire or his vocabulary. We voted for Trump because he promised to build the wall, drain the swamp and make America great again. Initially we didn’t know there was a swamp, or a deep state, but we found out it’s much more of a tangled web that even the internet.

Trump began coming through with his promises. He said what he meant and meant what he said. He pulled no punches and of course his vocabulary would never cut it in church. Trump said a number of times he was a Christian, but nobody believed him because…..well maybe nobody else was either.

If you want to read my RTM blogs on Trump (there are many) might I suggest you go on over to my blogsite.

I find it interesting that God uses people that we mere humans overlook or consider insignificant or not likely up to the task. We look at the outside or what flows from their mouths and decide we like or don’t like them and that’s it. God looks at the heart and does things for HIS glory and according to his plan.

Long story short, God sent Trump in answer to our prayers as Christians. Collectively we rejected Trump. God used him to expose the extent of the swamp so we would see how corrupt our politics have become. We’re 10 months into what I call the post-Trump era and we see how fast a slide it is in this race to the bottom of the barrel.

At one time Trump is quoted to say that publicity is publicity, good or bad and if he doesn’t have to pay for it – he’ll take it. Right now people are asking is Trump running in 2024 and although he has hinted, he hasn’t committed himself. I think that is smart because having Trump as a motivator, indorsing likeminded political hopefuls and those seeking re-election is much more of a threat to liberal politicians with the chance that Trump will not run, than if he came right out and said it.

These liberal politicians will continue to dig their own graves as quickly as possible and at the expense of American voters, just in case Trump runs and wins and they can no longer get their way in Congress. They are so cocky about having gotten away with the greatest scam on America (the stolen election of 2020) and have no clue that the graves they dig are for themselves. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

The Airplane at Julia Davis Park

In 1960 when dad injured his leg on the farm in Wilder, Idaho he was transported to the VA hospital in Boise. After his operation to remove the knee and fuse the leg he would remain in Boise for rehabilitation. We traded out farm for a house on Lindsey Lane on Boise’s south side so we would be close enough to visit dad regularly (but that’s a different story).

One Christmas we all got bicycles, and all were the same color. Mom and dad spent hours trying to assemble them on Christmas Eve and somewhere I have a picture of us standing with our bikes. There are many stories I could tell about us scrounging for beer and pop bottles we could recycle for a nickel each, but this is not one of those stories.

When we were not in school we’d find ourselves riding all around Boise. One place I liked to go was Julia Davis Park. There was a small zoo, a locomotive and at one point an airplane on display. Over the years I’d forgotten about the plane and every so often I’d wonder what kind it was, where it was now and what happened to it. A few years back I wrote to the Boise Parks Department, but got little to no information.

A few days ago I started wondering about that plane again. I thought it was a WWII B25 Mitchell bomber and I remembered riding to the park and shinnying up the pedestal and finding a way into the plane where I’d sit for maybe an hour or less, then climb down and take off riding my bike.

I began actively searching for information. I contacted a B25 group online and asked if they had any info of any B25s on static display in Boise? They had nothing in their research about any such plane. Then I got a reply from the Boise Parks Department about a plane in 1961 being donated to the park. There seemed to be a bit of controversy over it being a B26 or an A26. I was vandalized, removed and scrapped in 1972.

My research wasn’t over yet. I did something called a Google search and found this Warbird Registry website http://www.warbirdregistry.org/a26registry/a26-4322606.html which contained a photograph by Lee Hartman of the plane at the park in 1964. It was indeed an A-26C Invader (GB-26C) Serial # 43-22606 Production # 18753 used in WWII by the Army Air Force.

I finally felt vindicated. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Still a Soldier

In the years after the Korean War while I was but a small child I was drawn to the life of a soldier. I watched “Combat!” starring Vic Morrow (1962 – 1967) and “PT 109” starring Cliff Robertson (1963). As a kid I was known to ride my bike throughout the downtown Boise area frequenting thrift shops before heading over to the A-26 Douglas Invader then on display at Julia Davis Park. I became a member of Civil Air Patrol in high school (64-66) and for Christmas 1966 mom gave me the book “Green Berets” which sits on my book case today.

My turning point came after graduating high school in 1967. I went with a friend to see the army recruiter. Since I loved to drive and I signed up for one of the army’s truck driving courses. America was fully caught up in the war in Vietnam and it must have been a real shock for my family when I enlisted in the army on 13 September 1967 and I ended up in Southeast Asia.

My career lasted 22 years and covered various assignments around the world until I retired on 31 December 1990. I don’t take my service time lightly and have been retired now for almost 30 years.

I still watch war movies where I look for authenticity. Except for movies like Stripes & GI Jane that may be humorous to watch they bear no resemblance to what our men and women train and do everyday

Unless you’ve taken the oath, worn the uniform of the United States military, you can’t fully begin to understand. There is no expiration date on the oath to “Protect and Defend the Constitution” and in spite of what others may tell you there is no “X” in veteran.

I’ve been a soldier my entire adult life and yes I’m still a soldier. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
