Got to Hand It to Trump!

Hey, folks. I know it's been several months since I last posted, because I've been sick, off and on, and I've also just simply not felt like writing. However, I have to make an admission. Donald Trump might not be the greatest person on earth, but he has done a pretty decent job of being our United States' president. Our adversary in North Korea, Kim Jong Un, aka "Little Rocket Man," has realized that our current president is not a pushover nor an appeaser like at least two of our three previous presidents were. No, sir. No, ma'am. Ol' Kim knows that Trump is more assertive, and perhaps crazier (?), than he is, and that he has the weaponry to back it up his talk. Trump is a businessman, first and foremost, and he means business. I was particularly pleased, yesterday, when I heard Trump's speech about withdrawing from that bass-ackwards agreement (read "illegal treaty") that we made with the tyrannical mullahs over in Iran. It was a terrible deal to begin with, it was a terrible deal when Trump took office, and it was a terrible deal yesterday. I'm glad we're out of that garbage, and, hopefully, this will incite the citizens of Iran to fight back against their masters.

By the way, is John Kerry being investigated for Logan Act violations? He's a private citizen, in no official capacity as a United States' diplomat or representative, and the law says that private citizens dealing with foreign governments is a big no-no. Yes, I know it's an unconstitutional law, and that no one, save for Michael Flynn, who was acting as a part of Trump's transition team back in 2016, has ever really been prosecuted for violating it. Thankfully, this judge has seen through Robert Mueller's bovine feces, and is making him present his assertions in court.

Ah, how I love it when things start to turn on leftist progressive scum. It would really be nice if we could see Hillary's huge snow-white butt in prison, but I guess I'll take what I can get for now.

Credit Given Where Credit is Due

Okay, so I've blasted the Donald a few times these last few days for using the phrase "son-of-a-bitch" in reference to certain professional football players. However, I have to give the man a "thumbs up" for how he is handling the tenuous situation with North Korea. We have coddled these Marxist hoodlums for decades, and we have handled them with kid gloves since the Bill Clinton administration. We have given and given, but all the North Koreans have done is take and take some more, without us reaping anything good from our efforts. If anything, all we have done is purchased the Kim-regime time to develop its own nuclear weapons, and no one in their right mind would agree that such an irrational, deranged actor needs nukes. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has stood up to the belligerent, paranoid, crazy little dictator, Kim Jong Un, like President Trump has, and it is about darn time someone did. Somebody needs to show this little thug that the United States means business. When we say we are going to annihilate North Korea and wipe it from the map, Kim Jong Un has to believe it, and Donald Trump, as crude and unsophisticated as he is, might just be the right man to get the point across.

Should We Support Donald Trump?

Donald J. Trump, President of these United States of America, was doing so well. His handling of the situation with North Korea is commendable, not to mention refreshing. His speech to the United Nations was spot on, and whomever wrote it for him deserves a huge raise. But, like he often does, Trump resorted to buffoonery, last week, when he alluded to certain National Football League players as sons-of-bitches.

Should Trump have addressed the NFL anthem protests? Yes, of course. It is a very divisive issue, far more divisive than just splitting our country down the middle. Some people agree with the players, some don't agree with the players, some agree with them but don't think they should take a knee, and some of us don't agree with them but say they have a right to take a knee. Personally, I have no problem with Trump calling them out, but I do have a problem with the President of these United States calling citizens, whom he represents on both a national and an international level, derogatory names in a public forum.

If the President, whomever he is, does what we see as being right by the country and by its citizens, we conservatives should support him, whether he is conservative, liberal, or moderate. If the President intentionally does something to further tensions and widen division in our once fair nation, it is up to conservatives to call him out on it. We have to get back to respecting decorum and tact, folks. It is that simple. When Trump does something right, applaud him and stand with him. When he does something wrong, do not be silent, and call him out on his error. We cannot have a civilized discussion about anything in this country until we all get our emotions in check and begin to think and act reasonably again. Donald J. trump, as President, has to lead the way and he has to lead by example.

We Need a Real Leader, Folks

Well, time to piss somebody off...again. :)

Let me put it this way:

The Ravens and Jaguars that disrespected our flag and country on foreign soil are selfish jerks. Period.

The players who knelt during the anthem prior to this weekend are leftist jerks that despise the very system that allows them to play a kid's game for a lot of money. Period.

However, I have found it hard to be overly angry with the players who took a knee this weekend. Although I disagree with their tactics, and find their "protests" as disrespectful as previous ones, I cannot blame them for being outraged at the President. Donald Trump is supposed to be our leader, the face of this nation, the voice for all Americans, even the voice of those with whom he disagrees. The office of President of the United States is supposed to be bigger and more important than any one man, including the man that is in office. Donald J. Trump alluded to the anthem protesters as "sons of bitches". Think about that a minute. There is a huge difference between any President of the United States saying that he disagrees with the stance taken by these players and flat-out calling them derogatory names.

Folks, seriously, I ask you, are we all back in middle school? I'm guilty, myself, of getting mad and saying some choice words, even stooping low enough to call folks bad names, but this is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES we are talking about here. He is a living symbol, whether he likes it or not, of every living American, even of those with whom he disagrees, and even of those folks who hate him with every fiber in their body. Between Trump and Obama, we have two consecutive Presidents that have narcissistically elevated themselves above the office, practically creating an emperor-like status for themselves. They aren't supposed to do that and we aren't supposed to allow that, but we have! The President is supposed to adhere to decorum, utilize tact and discrimination, and hold himself above the fray, at least to give the impression that he is working hard for us and keeping the best interests of our nation in mind. We don't have that, folks. We don't. Meanwhile, all we have is a bad situation made worse, simply because someone wanted to show off by pointing a finger at a few jerks who were already realizing that their little "protests" were doing more harm than good.

I'll say it, again, and it will probably fall upon deaf ears, but we are in the middle of a 'cold' civil war, people. America as it was intended, for now, is dead, remnants of it living on only in the people who inhabit the land, now. We are in dire need of a leader, a real leader. We don't have that. Not meaning to be a pessimist, y'all, but we may never have a true leader ever again.

Trump versus the NFL: Breathing Life into a Dying Fire

Imagine that you are a firefighter. You and your crew have been fighting a relatively small fire- small, but dangerous and very threatening, nonetheless. You all worked very hard to the point of almost having the fire completely out, with only a few smoldering embers remaining. All of a sudden, without warning, a huge sustained gust of wind comes along and blows away some of the ashes and soot, and breathes new life into the fire with you have worked so hard to extinguish. The remaining fuel erupts into a blaze, and now you and your tired crew set about, again, to fight the conflagration.

Having to once again fight a fire which was nearly extinguished would probably frustrate you and anger you, would it not? This is but a metaphor for the current situation in our country regarding professional football and one Donald J. Trump. Unless you've been living way off the grid, you probably know that a few professional football players, over these last two seasons, have decided to not stand for the National Anthem at the beginning of ballgames. Fans took sides, some continued watching while others chose to boycott professional football, one season passed, a new season had come around, and things had actually started to calm down- that is, until Donald J. trump decided it would be fitting to blow some hot air onto the smoldering fire. Now instead of the occasional flickering flame and a few smoldering chunks of what was once part of our collective sanity, the entire country is once again up in flames over one the stupidest, most selfishly asinine notions ever advocated for during our lifetimes, that protesting the one thing that is supposed to bind us together as fellow countrymen will suddenly bring us all together in perfect equality and freedom.

The one thing that is supposed to bind us all together, really, is that we are all Americans, that we all live together in the most prosperous country the world has ever known, that we all are born with the opportunity to take what we are given and make ourselves better people, individually, and a better country, collectively. Both the NFL and its interests, as well as President Donald J. Trump and his interests, have shown that neither of them have any real interest in what is best for all Americans. Each individual involved cares nothing about the average, regular everyday American, nor do they care about the outliers among us nor anyone in between the middle and the extremes. They surely do not care about this country and the ideals upon which it was founded, that all men are created equal and have the opportunity to pursue their own life, liberty, and happiness, regardless of the station in life into which they were born. Our Founding Fathers provided us with a well-thought out paradigm upon which we could build a nation that emphasizes and encourages personal liberty, while also considering the respect for the rule of law, respect for the rights of everyone, and respect for that which binds us together as Americans. Just as things were starting to settle down, Donald Trump gave the anti-American protests the air they needed to flare-up again.

How would a conservative president have handled a situation such as the one with the NFL-player protests? That is a good question to ask and upon which to ponder. I would like to presume that a truly conservative president would have kindly addressed the players grievances, and perhaps invited some of them to the White House to discuss their concerns, rather than verbally attacking them at a campaign rally or fundraiser. I also wonder how a conservative NFL commissioner would have handled the protests, but I can merely speculate on this, as well. Perhaps, a conservative NFL commissioner would have kindly addressed this and done what he could to put a stop to it before it got out of hand. Like I said, one can merely speculate. Meanwhile, our country is in the middle of a cold civil war, and both sides are doing their darnedest to stoke the coals that are burning under the surface of our national identity, threatening what remains of our American unity.

Nazis are not Conservative!

Just a couple of points:

1) Y'all do know that Nazism is a left-wing ideology, right? "National Socialism"? Hitler's vision was fascistic, staunch nationalism combined with a centralized planned economy and an emphasis on the needs of the state above the rights of the individual.

2) The Nazis and the Communists hated each other, but there were two primary reasons for that. One, each group wanted power and did not want to share with the other, naturally. Two, the Russians were the driving force behind international efforts to spread communism around the world, and many Germans viewed the Slavs, Russians, Poles, Czechs, etc., to be a subhuman species (the name "Slav" is a cognate of our word, "slave".

So, learn, pay attention, and you'll see that these jackasses wearing swastikas are not "conservatives", just severely misguided fools with terribly low senses of self-worth. They have more in common with the idiots waving the hammer and sickle than they do with any conservative-minded person.

Politics is about POWER!

Not feeling very well, today, so I'm going to be brief. We all know that Democrats, liberals, socialists, and progressives of all types LOVE big centralized government. Why? Because big centralized government gives them the POWER to implement their pet programs and experiment on people and society. They get to play with our lives while we are the ones that suffer. True conservatives don't want power, and they don't want centralized government. True conservatives want to shrink the size of government and put the POWER back into the hands of the constituency. In part, this means getting rid of unnecessary bureaucratic agencies that act as independent legislators that are not subject to the will of the people. A lot of the problem we are having with the federal government is the entrenched progressive bureaucracy, and we have to elect representatives willing to dismantle it piece by piece. Y'all think about that. God bless and have a great rest of your day.
