Congressional Democrats Continue to Get NOTHING and Do NOTHING

There is an ancient saying... "Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice shame on me," and the Democrats simply do not get it.  They have collectively allowed, if not outright encouraged, President Trump to make them look like fools on several occasions. Now the Democrats have decided to continue this foolish path with impeachment proceedings. 

Consider the Democrat Machine's history to this point:
  1.  They yelled before Trump could even be sworn in that he had ties to Russia and was conducting business with Russia.  They yelled this even as he was stepping down from his companies to work as the President, but they still yelled about his worldwide business and NOTHING came from it.

2.  They conjured up a porn star to say she was paid to keep her mouth shut about sexual relationships with Trump.  The case was dismissed, and in fact, the judge ruled that the porn star and her lawyer had to pay Trump's legal fees.   While we would like to say NOTHING came of this, the fact is Trump's legal costs were covered - finally, the Democrats had some success!  Later the lawyer was arrested, and it has since been reported in some circles that the porn star was lying.

3. They attempted to block Trump's Supreme Court Nomination by having a woman come up to testify - you know because she is so brave now 30 years later - about a sexual encounter where the future judge forced himself on her in a sexual nature - 30 years ago, at a party, located someplace, somewhere, on some date, that nobody could seem to remember the exact details including this woman.  The woman was surprisingly able to pay off her new beach home, disappeared after testifying and was hailed as a "Hero" by Democrats - not sure what their definition of a hero is at this point BTW.   In the end, there was NOTHING for them to use.   Even now, there are reports it was all a lie -you know, from someday, somewhere, someplace, at some point in the past - but who the heck knows for sure!

 4.  They then continued their Russia Collusion claims and tried to show how the President allegedly cooperated with Russia to work on winning the elections.  Naturally, they never mentioned the various ties that Hillary Clinton had to Russia - not as a businesswoman, but as the Secretary of State of the United States, a former member of Congress, and a former first lady of the United States - no, somehow all of that was ignored only to have a report that showed Trump had NOTHING to do with Russia during the elections.

5.  Then the Democrats attempted to use their power in Congress to get Trump's tax returns.  It was a move that even the IRS said was politically motivated when they said that they would not allow a citizen's tax returns to be "weaponized."  They filed and pushed, and in the end, Democrats got NOTHING to this day.

6.  Democrats then turned to states and local cities where they had friends and pushed to get rules to where President Trump had to release his tax returns to them or in some places he could not be on the ballot without releasing his tax returns.  Federal courts continue to strike that purely political move down and again the Democrats get NOTHING.

7.  Now Democrats are yelling for impeachment.  They are not only citing the old, disproven information again - cause apparently, they do not understand when you have NOTHING that you have "NOTHING."   So impeachment is going to proceed with full Democrat support and what are they going to get?  NOTHING.  The push will not make it through the Senate, and once again Democrats will be left with egg on their face for their futile, waste of time.

While it is easy to dismiss and laugh at all the complete failures of the Democrat Party to attack Trump, it equally disturbing.  Since before Trump took office, Democrats have worked, tried to pull strings, pushed for outside help, and done everything in their power to discredit and now they are pushing to remove the lawfully elected President of the United States.  They want to remove him, not because he has done anything illegal or wrong, but because they don't like him.   The Democrat dislike for the President is so severe for one reason and one reason only - he is doing precisely what he said he would do for the nation, and he can not be bought.  They can not walk into the President's office and buy him.  Democrats simply do not like that.

They have attacked the President and his supporters and gotten NOTHING.

They have slandered the President and his supporters and gotten NOTHING.

They have used their positions to attack the President and his supporters and got NOTHING.

They have used their supporters and friends to attack the President and their supporters, and they have gotten NOTHING. 

The sad thing is we have allowed the Democrats in Congress to receive a yearly salary for nearly four years now to do NOTHING except attack a President with baseless lies and false accusations.  The people in those districts represented by Democrats should think long and hard the next time they go to the polls. While these Democrats have focussed on Trump, they have completed neglected the people who elected them, and that is the ultimate shame in all this fiasco.

Beto O'Rourke Masters "Flip-Flop Magic"

Beto O’Rourke shared his "Flip-Flop Magic" with America last night. You know the type of magic that can have a person saying one thing one day and the complete opposite the next day? Yeah, that's "Flip-Flop Magic."

In 2018, Beto sounded like the Democrats of old - you know the ones with the"Put a man on the moon," and "We'll die with our guns in our hands" type of Democrat that many of us grew up around. These Democrats often were in close alignment with Republicans on many issues. It made it easy for us to all come to the table, discuss issues and compromise, develop policies, and move America forward. In those glory days- that's what I'll call them - of our Democrat friends, these words by Beto should not only sound familiar, but they should stir you:

“Well, to be clear, they should have them. If you purchased that AR-15, if you own it, keep it. Continue to use it responsibly,” said O’Rourke. “I think Texas has a real opportunity to lead on this issue right now because we so jealously guard that Second Amendment. We believe in it. We’ll defend it.” - Beto O'Rouke on “The Chad Hasty Show” April 2018

Beto actually looks like an American there, doesn't he? Well, that all changed last night. Whether Beto was playing to a specific audience, trying to sound tough on guns, or just showing off his "Flip-Flop Magic" abilities, he suddenly seemed like a Socialist Dictator from some third world country trying to impress himself and elevate himself as the top ruler, lawgiver, and enforcer for the entire nation. Beto's "Flip-Flop Magic" became glaringly apparent as he told a story about children being killed by AR-15's and then made the following statement:

“Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” - Beto O'Rourke Third Democrat Debates 9-2019

No, you are not reading that wrong. "Flip-Flop Magic" Beto O'Rourke has gone from respecting law-abiding gun owners to outright screaming curse words and telling America on live television that if elected, he will - note this is not he might, he might ask you, he might ask you to give it up - no, he is "GOING TO TAKE YOUR AR-15, YOUR AK-47". This is not a debate, it's not a discussion, it's not a "We'll negotiate." No, this is an outright declaration that if elected President of the United States, he will throw the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights out the window and take your guns.


To my Democrat friends - is this the type of candidate you want to support? Do you want someone who will take your guns? Maybe you don't have an AR-15 or an AK-47. Perhaps you just have a hunting rifle or a handgun or a shotgun. I mean surely he did not mean he would take those too, did he? I mean if a person will take one gun away from you, what would stop him from taking another firearm away from you? What would stop him from suddenly deciding that since we don't need the Second Amendment, we really don't need the First, Third, Fourth and so on - after all, wouldn't "illegal search and seizure" need to be tossed out too so that he could take your guns? Wouldn't the "freedom of speech" need to be removed so he could keep you silent about his actions? Do you really think Beto would stop with just two types of guns? Do you think he would finish with only one set of your rights?


Well, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Beto doesn't have that "Flip-Flop Magic" going. Perhaps he is just blowing smoke as he screams and yells his plans to a cheering audience. I mean, it's not like anyone else in history has ever screamed, yelled, listened to the cheering crowds and then removed guns, rights and eventually lives that interfered with his plans, right? ...

2020 Elections: A Time to Stand

You are not alone!

Elections 2020 will be here before we know it and politicians from all major parties will be mailing flyers, doing interviews, campaigning in their areas, and promoting their agendas for the next few years after they are elected.   Politics in America has always been a wild ride, but for Republicans, it is about to get not only wild but potentially dangerous.  The fact is, as Republicans, we face an election year where Democrats really have nothing to stand on for election or reelection.  They have spent four years chasing a President with porn stars, and "Russian Collusion" only to have it all blow up in their face.  They have spent four years as virtually a "Do Nothing other than chase Trump" party.  Now it's election time, and they have nothing to run on as a platform.  Since they have nothing, they will do the next best thing they can think of to do...they will stand on and attack you.

This election season will be like none before.  Because opponents of the President have nothing, they are going to intensify their attacks on his supporters.  Let's face it, nothing phases President Trump.  They call him names, he just strikes back on Twitter.  They say he is a traitor, he just calls them out for their failures in their own districts.  They attack him and Israel, and he tells them to go home.  To be straightforward, not only is President Trump blunt, but he doesn't care what the opposition does or thinks about him.  Because President Trump is unlike any other President in the history of the United States, the Democrats simply do not know how to handle him and his supporters.  In the end, they resort to the only thing they can cling to against Trump and Republicans.  They resort to name-calling, threatening, yelling, vandalism, and even physical violence.  Democrats have decided to take their own history (racism, segregation, buying votes, etc.) and turn it against Republicans.  A necessary playbook call is to "Accuse others of that which you yourself are guilty of doing," and the Democrats have mastered this playbook.  So, this election will be like none before. 

What can you expect?  You can expect it is going to get worse before it gets better.  Do not be surprised if when you put out your Republican signs out,  bumper stickers on cars, or wear your MAGA hats if any of the following does not happen to you:
 You will be called a racist - regardless of your heritage, you are a racist according to Democrats.
 You will have your yard signs removed - they will steal them, even as you watch.
 You may have your car keyed or damaged or your stickers removed.
 You may be harassed if you wear a Trump hat, shirt, button, etc. and it will be harsh verbally.
 You may be called many other names such as "Nazi," "Fascist" "Traitor," and others.
 You may, as horrible as it is, be attacked physically for your Republican support. 
 Your headquarters may be attacked through vandalism or some other means.

The fact is, this election season the Republican voter is going to be singled out.  The Democrats and their liberal supporters are going to try to scare you, intimidate you, threaten you, and do whatever it takes to get you to shut up and hide.  That is what they want.  They want Republicans to hide away, say nothing, show no support, or they want us to not be seen.  They fear our visibility because when we are seen, others will become less afraid to stand up as well.  When Republicans stand together and say, "No, we will not go quietly.  We will not be silenced.  We will not have our right to freedom of speech destroyed by you," then Democrats become very afraid.  It not only upsets them, but it bothers their image.  They want a picture that Trump can not and will not win.  They want to discourage us, disenfranchise us, and make us feel alone.  They really do not care how we vote in the booth.  They know they will not change that secret and sacred ballot, but they want to ensure that we do not influence anyone else.  They want us silent so that those undecided voters will not hear what we have to say.  It's going to be a scary time for Republicans....it's going to be an election like none you have seen. 

As the 2020 election draws near, you have to make a choice.  You are either going to stand up and support your Republican candidate, or you are going to allow the Democrats to cause you to cower, hide, and sneak into a booth to vote.  How will you handle it?  Will you let them intimidate you into silence?  Personally, there are few things I do not like in this life, and perhaps one of the top things I do not like is being told when I can and can not speak my mind.  Trust me, the Democrats are going to single you out and try to knock you down.  But you have one advantage that they are not prepared for and it is your most substantial advantage yet-they have knocked us down before and we always get back up stronger and better prepared.  We are Republicans. We are the party that stood up to slavery when few others would, we are the party that stood up for former slaves rights to vote, we are the party that supported the women's right to vote, and we are the party that pushed to see Civil Rights become law.  We are the party that sent troops when Democrats said "No" to desegregation, and we are the party that pushed to win the cold war.  We have a long history of fighting the uphill battles, but we also have a long account of winning them. 

YOU are not alone.  YOU are a Republican, and there are more of us out there than they can count.   When one of them knocks you down, one of us will step and tell them, "Why don't you try to knock me down now."  We are together, and we will stick together through it all.   This election season we are going to stand.  Our headquarters are going to open across the state and the nation, and we are going to be prepared.  Our signs are going up, and if they take them down, we will put more up in the same place.  Our flag has 50 stars, and that means there are 50 states where Republicans live, thrive, work, and vote.  You can reach out, you have the support, and we will support your right to free speech and your freedom to support the candidate of your choice.  We are Republicans...YOU ARE REPUBLICAN... and we will never back down from the fight to save this nation we love.  Always remember, you are not alone.   Perhaps Fredrick Douglass summed it all up best when he said, "I am a Republican...and I never intend to belong to any other party other than the party of freedom and progress." The fate of this nation is now your shoulders.  Will you decide that now is a time to stand?  Don't worry, there's an entire herd of us elephants out there, and if it comes to Democrats knocking us down, they are going to find there are some mighty big elephants in our herd that will be hard to knockdown. 

Just Fix It, Chuck

Chuck Schumer's cages are inhumane

At 8:18 p.m., on July 19, 2019, Chuck Schumer twitted on his official account the statement below:

"Humans being locked in cages.  To see these people, coming to America in search of a better life, treated in such inhumane conditions.  This is heart-wrenching.  This is wrong.  This is not who we are.  This has to end.  Now." 

Senator Chuck Schumer is not a new politician.  Let's keep in mind that he has been serving since 1981, in one form or fashion in Congress.  Chuck's resume reads like a man climbing the policial mountain.  He has served as the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Senate Democrat Caucus, he has served as the Chair of the Senate Rules Committee, and he has served as Chair of the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee.  To put it bluntly, Chuck has been around a long time.  In fact, Chuck has been in Washington for 38 years.  38 years is an impressive record for Chuck.  He has served in Congress, the place where laws are made and spending are determined, for nearly 40 years now.  

Chuck is very concerned about the inhumane cages being used at the border.  Now, a basic Internet search, and a review of Congressional records, as well as presidential actions, will show that these "cages" that Chuck is concerned about were built and put into operation in 2015.  

Wait? 2015?  You mean to say that these cages were built long before President Trump took office?  Yes, these cages were built and put in place in 2015.   Now, President Obama served as President from January of 2009 to January of 2017.  President Obama was a two-term, Democrat President - you know, the same party as Chuck is a member, and President Obama actually oversaw the development of the cages in 2015 - you know, like when he was still President and Chuck was helping fund the cages.   

Now, if we consider that the cages had to be funded - that would mean Congress has to put the money out, right?  So, that would mean that Chuck had to be one of the people that approved and knew that funding was going to these cages.  Did Chuck think the cages - clearly indicated to be used for illegal immigrants - would actually be used for something different?  Was Chuck so dumb, or did Chuck just not pay attention to the fact that he was voting and allowing money to fund cages for human beings?  Maybe Chuck was missing at those meetings - I don't know, perhaps it was campaign time for him.  Or, maybe...just maybe Chuck was supporting a Democrat President as they cooperated with each other and developed the cages for human beings because they were in the same party together.  

Chuck Schumer, you're right, it's "heart-wrenching."  Sadly, you would have absolutely no concern at all for these people in "cages" until well after there is a Republican President in office trying to fix the problems you helped create.  Yes, Chuck...you not only helped create the problem, but you also funded it, approved it, and looked the other way while it benefited your party.  The minute a President tries to actually do something to fix the issues at the border, all you want to do is jump on Twitter and sound like a cheerleader for the people being held in your cages.  

Well, Chuck, let's not mess around here with your history.  You supported these cages, and now you want to distance yourself and your party from them, but the ties are simply too deep.  The American people are not stupid, and no amount of Tweets from you will ever change that fact.  You are acting like a fake and fraud.   With 38 years of knowledge, experience, and the ability to make change happen, we deserve more from you.  Maybe it's just time for you to do your job and just fix it, Chuck. 

Protest v Disrespect

During the 1960s, there is no argument that the United States set the example of racism for the world.  African Americans were denied such fundamental rights as the use of public bathrooms, meals in restaurants, and even access to medical services.  African Americans deciding to travel and see their country, also had select hotels and motels around the country that were for "Colored Only" and guidebooks to show them where to find those hotels.  It was, no it is, a sad, pathetic, and very un-American time during our history.  It is one we should be ashamed of, learn from, and promise future generations that regardless of sex, religion, race, or sexual orientation, it will not happen again. 

In those 1960s, African Americans had little to be proud of in the United States and in fact, they had every right to protest, stand up, march, and demand equal rights and equal treatment.  While this happened, some chose to protest the country, but others decided to protest the action and not the country they so dearly loved.  George Foreman, the winner of the 1968 gold in boxing, had reasons to protest the treatment and demand equal rights.  He wanted rights, but he chose not to disrespect his country as a form of protest.  Foreman, after his victory for the gold medal, held up a small America flag as he was announced the winner.  Today, the former heavyweight champion, preacher, and salesman says that if he had it to do over again, he would have held up two flags.  Foreman wanted equal rights, but he understood something that today's protesters do not understand.  He understood that his best chance at getting those equal rights came from the country represented in that flag of stars and bars.

Yesterday the U.S. Women's Soccer Team won another Gold Cup.  Yeah for America!  It is a great triumph, a great accomplishment, and an excellent symbol for women and the nation.  Sadly, rather than take this opportunity to become representatives for making a change, some of the women on the team chose to disgrace the flag and even attempted to walk on it after throwing it to the ground.   In one writer's words, "They won the gold cup, and lost America."   Almost immediately after winning some on the team announced they were not going to the White House to celebrate the victory.  In fact, the actual words were "I'm not going to the F****** White House."

Just before making the statement about the "F****** White House" the team had thrown the flag down on the ground and attempted to step on it.  At the last second, the video shows another team member snatches the flag off the ground before her teammates could walk on it.  Perhaps she thought they accidentally dropped it, maybe she thought they did not mean to step on it, or perhaps she just had a little higher respect for the flag.

The Women's U.S. Soccer Team could learn something from George Foreman.  George Foreman wanted better treatment, he wanted equal rights, but he knew the United States was the best chance for that equal treatment and rights.  He chose to honor his nation and fight for equal rights at the same time.  He may not have liked the President, he may not have liked what was happening in government, and he may not have liked how life was on the streets, but he loved America nonetheless.  He respected the government, even when he disagreed with it.   Foreman set an example that the U.S. Women's Soccer Team could and should learn from, and that is respect and love your country, even when you're working to correct a wrong within your country.

In 1968 George Foreman wanted equal rights.  He won the gold in boxing.  Two days before, two American Athletics won the Gold and Silver in Track.  They also wanted equal rights, but when the Star-Spangled Banner played, and the flag of their country went up, they chose to give a Black Power sign instead of placing their hands over their hearts.  It is the equivalent of kneeling today or walking on the flag.

Interestingly, the man who chose to love his country and work to see changes would still be popular today in 2019.  Without doing an Internet search, I would be willing to bet that most people do not remember those two athletes who gave the Black Power sign nearly as well as they remember Forman.  It's a simple message, you have two avenues.  You can love your country and work for change, or you can hate your country and work for change.  How you approach the matter says a lot about you as an American, and it says a lot about you as a citizen.

Trump, love him or not, is President for four or eight years.  America, the White House, and the U.S. flag will be here long after the Trump administration has been written into the history books.  Change, one way or another will come, and for people like Foreman, they will become the People's Champion, but for those like the U.S. Women's Soccer Team that walks on America and walks away, they will likely be a short footnote in history.  Those teams and individuals will end up as small players when it comes to comparisons with a man like George Foreman.   Respect and love for your country does not mean you always agree with it, the leaders or the policies, but it means you love it and work to see a better day for it without disrespecting it.
