What If?

I don’t normally do this, but I figure what the heck. This is not an attempt on my part to enter the realm of conspiracy theories, I will leave that to others. It is just something to think on.

In the last post I ended with the question, How far are they willing to go. Also in the last post I kept making references to the Liberal Leftist Socialist Progressives(LLSP). The LLSP also includes those masquerading as Conservatives in the republican party.

I probably should have asked, What is their intention. I did not because their intention is heinous and unbelievable. Their unbelievable intention will be revealed at the end of this post.

First, the lead in.

Every couple of years America is embroiled in a Geo-Political war, not a shooting war but a war of politics. It is akin to the Feudal wars that waged across Europe long ago. The feuding political parties fight for control of America. There is even a map of feudal America, it is even colorized, blue for one political party and red for the other. This feudal war relegates the citizens of this Republic to little more than serfs. Serfs that are passed to the victor of the political wars. The victorious party only sees the citizens as little more than obedient servants, servants to the party.

There is even more to this political war we must endure so often. This feud is based on of all things demographics. This is how the colorized map comes into play. There are three classifications in the demographics. There are the consistently blue states, as well as consistently red states, the other are called swing states. The swing states are purple in color on the map. It is the purple sates that garner so much attention from the feuding parties. Little attention is paid to the consistent states. If you don’t believe that, ask yourself how many times your states are normally visited in a national campaign. In the state elections how many times is your county visited by candidates? Are you consistently blue or red, or are you purple? You can bet little attention is paid to blue or red counties. Demographics also let the party candidate know what to say and to who. There are certain things he or she can only say in blue areas. The same goes for the red areas. Never say red in blue. Never say blue in red. The purple areas are where most candidates show their true “colors”, they are purple, they say what the demographics say they should say. This had been going on for far too long.

This past election changed everything. There was a new “combatant”, the citizens finally got a chance to get in the fight. The feuding political parties got defeated on the field of honor. This is and was just the beginning. Donald J. Trump was the GOP nominee not because of the GOP, but in spite of the GOP. He beat all of the political elite to become the nominee, in spite of all the tricks they pulled, or was it because of the trickery. Now Donald J. Trump is the President-elect, not because of the political system, but in spite of it. He beat the DNC and the media in spite of all of the trickery, or again, was it because of it.

I like to refer to President-elect Trump as the Citizen President. In the past America had Citizen Soldiers now we have a Citizen President. The Minute Men come to mind, the ones who would be ready in a minute, to come to the aid and defense of their country. They were ready to answer the call. President-elect Trump answered the call, he came because his country needed him. President-elect Trump may have arrived just in time to save this Republic. One thing for sure this Republic has at long last been wrested from the claws of the political ruling class. Make America Great Again may be contagious, it could spread to the State, County and City levels. This could be what has the LLSP in such a tizzy.

Now, the unbelievable part.

I am sure that everyone has heard of crimes of passion and crimes of jealousy. For now let’s stick with crimes of jealousy. How many times has one spouse tried to leave the other for another. In a fit of jealous rage, the one being left murders the one leaving. The logic, If I can’t have you then nobody will. The right thing to do would be to let the one go who wanted to leave. Some do the right thing. Sadly, most choose to do the wrong thing, they murder the one they claim to have loved. Nobody wins, everybody looses when one acts out of a fit of jealous rage.

I have been doing some studying up on wars, shooting wars, civil wars. A goodly portion of them began because of politics. The Spanish Civil War was not an exception. I choose to bring up that civil war because of the term, Fifth Column. There were Four Columns outside of Madrid, but a general claimed to have a Fifth Column inside the city. What could not be solved through the political process was solved at the muzzle of a rifle and the point of a bayonet.

There was an old adage that went something like “If America were to ever be destroyed it would not be from the outside, it instead would be from within”. Most would agree that America has many adversaries on the outside. Aside from the occasional militant groups in history, there has never been what one could refer to as a Fifth Column. That may well be changing.

Let’s go back to the hacking for just a minute. The most recent accused of such activity is Russia. Others that have been accused of hacking are North Korea, Iran and China. Note the number, there are Four. All four would have something to gain by the demise of America. None alone are capable on their own of causing the demise of America. But what if the four of them joined forces? They would still be on the outside. There would be little if any help inside for them certainly nothing that would amount to a Fifth Column. The political ruling class, their henchmen and certainly their controllers have no intention of handing all of this over. Not in its present state anyway.

Let’s go back to the fit of jealous rage “If I can’t have you then nobody will”. The political ruling class, their henchmen and controllers have long suspected that the citizens of this Republic might someday awaken and see what was happening. Some of us have been awake for a long time, others are waking up. They have a plan to deal with an awakening population, they have always had a plan.

They always knew there was no Fifth Column available in this Republic. Their only hope was to import one. It began with the southern border, open the border to any and all. They did not care who they were loyal to. Look at the demonstrations, better known as riots, of recent. Which flag did they carry and which flag did they burn. You can bet that they are not loyal to this Republic. The awakening of the country began before they could bring in enough. What were they to do?

Start wars in the Middle-East, thus creating a refugee crisis. How many refugees have arrived in this Republic? Where do their loyalties lie?

We used the process laid out by the Founding Fathers to wrest this Republic from the hands of Tyrants and Despots. Yet these same Tyrants and Despots apparently seem to take on the role of the jealous spouse. By bringing in a Fifth Column you are choosing to murder what you have claimed to love.

See I told you it was unbelievable. Or is it?

Grasping for Straws

It would seem that desperation is setting in on the Liberal Leftist Socialist Progressives(LLSP). Their efforts to derail the election process by suing for recounts has failed. Now some of the state delegates, electoral college, want a security briefing concerning computer hacking by the Russians. One has to wonder what is next and how far are they willing to go.

All this “drama” on the part of the LLSP is a direct result of the democratic nominee getting her butt handed to her in the presidential election. Actually all this drama is typical of the LLSP par for the course, so to speak, “playing the blame game”. The LLSP has a habit, a very bad habit, of blaming others for their failures. They have to blame others they never blame themselves. When everything goes their way they have no complaints, they complain to the high-heavens if things do not go their way. When their plans and schemes fail they say they did no go “far enough”.

The “hot” subject now is the claim that Russians, specifically the Russian government, had hacked into election computers. First our intelligence agencies have to somehow prove that the Russian government had hacked their way into the system. Once they do that, they then have to somehow prove that the Russian hacking had influenced the election, by changing Clinton voted to Trump votes. If votes were not changed then all of these allegations are a moot point.

I doubt very much that if HRC had won the election any of this would have ever come up. Not the recounts, nor the LLSP wanting to do away with the Electoral College, in favor of a popular vote. And certainly none of the LLSP would be blaming Russia, or Russian hacking for a HRC victory. I doubt very much it would have ever come up, much less looked into. And most certainly “fake news” would have never seen the light of day.

There are very few days until Donald J. Trump is sworn as the nation’s 45 president, 36 to be specific. There are only 4 days until the Electoral College meets in their respective State Capitols to cast their votes.

I wonder what is next. How far are they willing to go?

Fences, Walls and Bridges

Fences are meant to keep something in or to keep something out. Ranchers use fences to control the movement of livestock, keeping something in. Farmers use fences to keep critters out of the planted areas, keeping something out. Fences are also used for ornamental purposes.

Walls outside of structural uses(homes and such)have been used to keep things out, including people. There were walls built around entire cities in history. There was a time when walls were built around forts. China even has the great wall, one of the seven wonders of the world. The great wall has even became quite a popular tourist destination.

Bridges have been constructed throughout history. They serve many purposes. They provide ease of access by avoiding obstacles, either natural or man-made. They are used to control and/or limit access.

Common sense dictates that one should build fences, walls or bridges when and where appropriate. What is happening in Europe at this moment is what happens when a bridge was built when what was needed was a wall. By the way, where is the country known as “the rape capital of the world” located? Oh, that’s right Europe. Was Sweden the rape capital of the world before or after the refugee invasion? I do not recall Sweden having that distinction prior to the refugee crisis. European countries have built a bridge that leads straight to their women and the raping hordes have been more than appreciative of that bridge. By the way, it is not only women that are being raped across Europe.

Kindness, compassion and being big-hearted are words the liberal socialist progressives and globalists like to throw around. The words themselves sound harmless even inviting, problem is the invading hordes are not harmless. Again I use Europe as an example, the Europeans have bent over backwards to be kind, compassionate and big-hearted to the refugees and look at what has happened. One can not be kind, compassionate or big-hearted to those who are incapable of showing even the slightest bit of gratitude. The ungrateful will most assuredly bite the hand that feeds them.

Fences and walls are no more than obstacles. One should always place as many obstacles as possible between themselves and those that would do them harm. The more the better and make them as formidable as possible. Unfortunately many governments are removing or have removed any and all obstacles between their citizens and those that would do them harm. It is not just the physical harm inflicted on the citizen but the economic harm. This is true in Europe as well as right here in the U.S.

The Politician and the Pastor

Before I begin let me say this, this post is not in reference to every politician or to every pastor. If this post does not reflect you(politicians and pastors)then it is not about you and you should not take offense to it. If this post reflects you(politicians or pastors)then it is about you and I personally hope that it offends the He double hockey sticks(Hell, in case you could not figure that out on your own)out of you. If your denomination uses a different term than pastor, just insert the correct title according to your denomination. One might not think so, but politicians and pastors have a lot in common. Both are servants.

Yes, politicians holding office are servants, they are public servants. They serve the public interest. The job even comes with a set of clear and explicit instructions. It matters not at what level they serve, there are instructions. Whether it be the U.S. Constitution, the State Constitution or the County or City Charter. Sadly, some who hold Public Office lose their way, they go from severing the Public Interest to serving their own Self-Interest. Rather than doing what is best for the public or the Republic they instead do what is best for them and furthering their political career. In addition to serving their own self-interests the serve their political party. They place their own interests and party politics ahead of this Republic and the citizens.

Yes, pastors are servants, they serve God and the congregation. This job too comes with a set of clearly defined instructions. It matters not what the denomination there are instructions. It is the Holy Bible. Sadly, some pastors have lost their way. They go from serving God and the congregation to serving their own best interests. They go from doing what is right in God’s eyes to doing what serves them best in their eyes. Once they no longer serve God there is no way to serve the congregation.

Power and control.
Government(politicians elected or appointed)does(do)have power and control, but only to a limited extent. Their power and control may be lost at the next election. In our government the ultimate power rests with the citizens, well it used to anyway. The only power government has is the power granted to it, well it used to be that way.

Pastors falsely believe that they have power and control over both the Church and the congregation. In truth they have power and control over neither. They can never have power over the Church, Christ is the Church. The Congregation is the body of Christ. No mere mortal can ever have power over the One who defeated death or his body. Silly human. God has the Power and is in Control. God’s power and control are not temporary.

Do as I say not as I do.
Politicians elected or appointed seem to think they are above the law. The same laws, rules and regulations they pass or shove down our collective throats. We are expected to obey the law, no it is demanded we follow the laws, rules or regulations or suffer the consequences. Some of them are apparently exempt as there are no consequences to be paid.

Pastors break the 10 Commandments or the New Covenant(sometimes both)and preach to the congregation about obeying the 10 Commandments and the New Covenant. No the written Word is for all to obey. Unlike the politician there is no loop-hole for you or a position so great as to avoid the consequences. Forgot that one did you.

The Cash-Cow.
Let’s face it there is a lot, I mean a whole lot of money in both politics and religion. There are many politicians and pastors who were quite wealthy before getting into politics or religion. Many became wealthy because of politics. Many became wealthy because of religion. No one should acquire massive wealth as a servant, not a public servant and certainly not a servant of God. There is a little something from the Bible that addresses money and possessions. Those who love money never will have enough and will be ruled by their possessions. A little bit more. As everyone comes, so they depart.

There comes a time when the most inept at their chosen profession must surely recognize that they are doing more harm than good they would just do the right thing for once and leave.

Good grief

Here we are some 18 days after the presidential election. Some 17 days after HRC conceded the election to President-elect Trump. Some 55 days until BHO is out of the Oval Office. Now the leftist Green party candidate wants a recount in some of the “battleground states” and sure enough the DNC piles on.

Nothing will change, Clinton will still have lost and Trump will still be the President-elect. The Green party will still have only about 1% of the vote and no electoral college votes. The rest will still have what they had. I guess the Green Party candidate is worried about voter fraud. No that can’t be it if she were really worried about voter fraud she would sue to have all 50 states do a recount.

I can think of only two reasons for this recount to even take place, given that it is in so few states.

The first is to give legitimacy to the “he’s not my president” crowd. You can rest assured that President-elect Donald Trump is going to be your President, regardless of what you write on your forehead. The Electoral College is why, and with it all states get a say in who the next president is. The presidential election is not a nation wide popularity contest. It is a statewide popularity contest. If a candidate gets the majority of the popular vote in a state, then that candidate is awarded the Electoral College votes for that state. The candidate is not awarded the popular vote for that state. The goal is to win enough states to attain 270 Electoral College votes. The goal is not to win 50% of the popular vote plus 1. Look at it this way, if HRC had gotten every popular vote in every state she won she would have seen no increase in Electoral College votes. So yes, snowflake Donald Trump will be your president because he attained enough Electoral College votes. So now some of your ilk want to do away with the Electoral College, you want a president elected by a nation wide popular vote. You only want to do away with the Electoral College because your candidate lost.

The other is to provide a distraction. Another shiny object to look at. The political elite is not a happy lot, neither are the global elitists. This recount was announced after many started complaining about President-elect Trump’s Cabinet and staff picks. It was not announced after the election. So keep your eyes and ears open.

I understand that some on the left are not very happy with the results of the election. I have been displeased with the results of many elections, I did resist the urge to write on my forehead with a Sharpie in protest. I also resisted the urge to engage in riotous behavior, tearing up stuff and burning stuff down. Actually I had no inclination to do either.

Now I understand that some of you are so displeased you actually want to secede from the United States. You must not have studied history. My ancestors did that many years ago. Darn near succeeded. But do tell us how this works out for you, you know just in case.

Happy Thanksgiving

I wish each and everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Not long ago returned from a day of Thanksgiving and a hearty meal with family and friends. This is the officially recognized holiday, the fourth Thursday in November. The Thanksgiving Day meal I enjoyed today was the second for this month. The first was last Sunday after Church, with my Christian brothers and sisters. As a matter of fact I give thanks at every meal.

I am thankful for;
I am thankful that I am Saved by the Grace of Jesus Christ.
I am Thankful for the blessings bestowed upon me by God Almighty.
I am Thankful for my family and friends, both biological and Christian.
I am Thankful to the Founders and Framers of this Republic.
I am Thankful to have been born in this Republic.
The list goes on and on I have much to be Thankful for.

There are two sides to Thanksgiving, or giving thanks. We should be thankful for what we have and we should be thankful for what we do not have.
I am thankful for not having another President Clinton.
I am thankful that the politicians of today were not around at the founding of this Republic.
The list goes on, I have much to be thankful for not having.

I am also Thankful that I will not be among the masses taking part in the “black Friday” sales.

Relax about President-elect Trump’s Cabinet already

Is it really necessary to give minute-by minute updates? Also is it really necessary to speculate on who gets what post? Relax already. There is still plenty of time to fill the Cabinet level posts. He will get it done, and most likely ahead of schedule. Pres-elect Trump seems to have a knack for finishing things ahead of schedule.

There is another thing Pres-elect Trump has a knack for. He has a knack for placing the right person in the right job. He did that in his business life and he will do it as president. People will be nominated to Cabinet level positions based on knowledge, skills and abilities. Look at it this way, we had enough Confidence and Trust in Mr. Trump to elect him as our 45th president. We should have enough Trust and Confidence to let him nominate his Cabinet. He and his transition team will interview a lot of people and choose the right person for the right job. Having a Cabinet staffed with the most competent individuals based on Knowledge, Skills and Abilities will be a welcome change.

There is another aspect to the right person holding the right job, it must also be at the right time. President-elect Trump entered the presidential race at the right time. Without going through and rehashing the past(primaries and the election)Mr. Donald Trump was elected to be the 45th president because he was the right person for the job at the right time. Yes, it is just that simple. His administration will also be staffed with the right people in the right position at the right time. Not just the Cabinet but the entire government. Think about that for a moment, each department and agency in the entire federal government staffed with the most competent men and women available. Men and women holding positions based on knowledge, skills and abilities, not in return for political favors or donations. That will be the first step of many towards Making America Great Again.

Rising from the ashes

If the rioters(calling themselves protesters)would just stop rioting, sit and have a cup of coffee(decaf if necessary)and think they may come to understand what great impact a Trump presidency will have on their lives. This is especially true of the citizens living in the large Liberal Socialist Progressive controlled cities and states. I mean face it after years of Liberal Socialist Progressives control towns, cities and states are a broken and rundown. The Republic itself was heading towards being broken and rundown as well.

Things could be better across this Republic, a lot better. For a Nation that is some $20 trillion in debt one would think that this Republic would be in stellar condition. Sadly this is not the case. I could go on about debts and deficits, wasteful spending, outright fraud and corruption but most of the people reading this post understand all of that. So I will just say that this Republic is so far in debt because our elected government, you know the Liberal Socialist Progressives, stopped placing America and America’s interests first. When the government stopped putting America and America’s interests first it also stopped putting the interests of the citizens first. What was best for America and the American citizens was the last thing on the mind of the Liberal Socialist Progressives.

Things will be better across this Republic, a lot better. The $20 trillion debt will have to be paid. But, I have a feeling that from Noon on the 20th of January 2017 forward any money spent will be spent wisely. No more nation building, except for rebuilding America. No more bad trade deals, you know the ones that hurt American workers. No more harmful and burdensome government regulations that drive industries to foreign and distant lands. No more ill-thought and ill-planned regime changes in foreign and distant lands.

At last America will come first, whether you call is Nationalism or Americanism does not matter, what does matter is that it is not Globalism. Americanism is not such a bad thing, placing America first. Taking care of oneself first just makes good common sense. Look at it this way, if your neighbor is financially embarrassed(broke)and you have just enough to take care of you and yours, are you going to give him anything?

It is time to knock off the non-sense. Quit tearing stuff up, burning stuff down and assaulting other American citizens.

President-elect Trump wants to rebuild cities, towns, infrastructure and this Republic. The time has come to get busy. Look around at your towns and cities. Are you happy with what you see? Are you happy with the Liberal Socialist Progressive agenda, the same agenda that has turned some of the greatest cities in this Republic to slums. Slums with no future, no jobs and little if any opportunity.

We the citizens of this Republic really start need to start asking why. I for one would like to ask, just what are you protesting, and how did your protests turn into riots? Could it be that is what was intended? How long will you continue?

There could be much rising from the ashes. Would you not like to see the once great cities of this Republic rise from the ashes? Does anybody remember the American city that at one time had the highest standard of living in the country? Look at it now.

I would like to ask the residents of Detroit, how does your standard of living compare to the Liberal Socialist Progressives that run your fair city. The same question could be asked of the residents of the “Rust Belt”, the residents of “Coal Country” and so many other places across this land.

I personally am looking forward to the day and time January 20th 2017 at noon when the American government begins to rise from the ashes.

The way I see it there were 2 people running for president.
One was promising to give you free stuff and spewing the usual Liberal socialist Progressive crap.
The other was promising you the opportunity to get a job and earn your stuff.
Apparently the ones who are rioting wanted the one who was promising free stuff while spewing the usual Liberal Socialist Progressive crap.

JFK is credited with saying, Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country. One thing you can do for your country is to stop tearing it up. We do live here too you know.

If you promised to leave, please do so. You are like a crooked politician, making promises and failing to carry them out. Do what you say or say nothing.

So what happens next?

One has to wonder why the FBI has re-opened the investigation on HRC and the e-mails, especially at this late date. Me personally, I wondered why the investigation was closed in the first place. Given the fact that there were still so many e-mails unaccounted for. And given the fact that so many were given immunity.

The investigation was re-opened with 11 days remaining until the presidential elections. Was the investigation being reopened a distraction from the WikiLeaks dumps? That is one possibility. But, I point out that the MSM was giving little coverage to the WikiLeaks releases anyway. To the MSM the WikiLeaks releases of the Clinton and company e-mails was a distraction from any Trump stories they could dig up. I can assure you, however that if the WikiLeaks releases were about Mr. Trump the MSM would be all over them like flies on feces. It would be wall-to wall 24/7 coverage.

Which brings me to this concerning the MSM. Why is it that the MSM is so much in the tank for the democrats and the socialist liberal progressive agenda? Could it fear, and if it is just exactly is it that the MSM fears? It is plain to see that the MSM does not fear the conservatives. They have nothing to fear from the Trump supporters. They have nothing to fear from the legal and lawful gun owners. They in fact have nothing to fear from Mr. Trump.

America at this time faces a much larger problem than the MSM being in the tank for the socialist liberal progressives and their agenda. America could be facing a national security breach that could prove to be catastrophic. It was reported that HRC’s top advisor and long time friend did not deny the existence of copies of the e-mails on her husbands laptop, she merely stated she did not know how they got there. This leads to yet the possibility of other smart phones, tablets, blackberry’s and laptops that contain the same information which they may find on the laptop in question. Not only is there the possibility of countless devices outside of the government domain having classified information on them there is also the possibility that some, most or all of them could have been hacked.

Think about that for just a minute. Imagine the entire administration could be blackmailed into doing something or not doing something because one person decided on her own to operate outside of normal government security protocols. We will never know what is in the e-mails, but the possibility exists that many(as they are referred to as)bad actors could already have the information contained, all the information, including the yoga schedules, and probably do. Think on this for a minute. “Bad Actors” spend much time and effort trying to hack their way into government websites, they probably spend more time and less effort trying to hack into computers of government employees. There is also the possibility that the former Secretary of State was not the only one in the administration operating a home-brew server for e-mails and government business.

There is no honor among thieves. If it is true as reported that HRC’s top advisor and long time friend did not deny the existence of the e-mails and only offered the defense of she did not know how they found their way to her husbands laptop. There is only one way for an e-mail to end up on a device, in the “in box”, someone had to send it. One thief can not trust another thief.

This re-opened investigation will in most likelihood go on well past the presidential election. The outcome of the election will most likely determine the outcome of the investigation. If HRC wins the election and is inaugurated I doubt very much that we will have a repeat of Nixon.

If Trump wins and is inaugurated prior to the conclusion of the re-opened investigation and there is an indictment of HRC, there will in all likelihood be no presidential pardon. There will instead be a trial, a very ugly trial. She will not go down by herself. BHO and the democrats can not take that risk. If Trump wins and there is a presidential pardon given BHO will have to do that prior to his leaving office. Concerning presidential pardons, Nixon did not pardon himself, Ford gave Nixon his pardon. Had Nixon pardoned himself, or been able to do so, America would have at that moment become a “Banana Republic”. Remember Nixon was not indicted, he was merely exposed and caught up in lies. He resigned in disgrace. He was not even impeached. His pardon settled the issue of him being corrupt. It did not expose the corruption in the rest of the government. The pardon saved a trial and all that could have come with it. If HRC loses and is pardoned by BHO it only settles the matter of her. The pardon will do away with the need for a trial, the corruption and how far it stretches into the government will remain hidden, just as it did with Nixon.

It’s only 8 days until the election and any thing can happen between now and then. If nothing changes there will be only one outcome, by this time or slightly later next Tuesday either Trump or Clinton will be the president-elect. For the sake of this Republic I pray that Mr. Trump is the president-elect.
