On The Stump, The Media Trumped

GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump released a statement just at a campaign event Monday evening which has caused the mainstream media to lose their ever loving mind. Please see the following statement Trump read at the campaign event.

The media could not help themselves; after all, it afforded the opportunity to step the nation away from focusing on the stunning, abysmal failure on terrorism of the Obama administration.

It also gave the establishment GOP ruling class a highly sought after opportunity to body slam Trump, who with his substantial poll numbers strikes them with more fear than the ISIS terrorists the have miserably failed to contain.

As usual, Trump crashes on the scene like an out of control garbage truck firing out rhetoric that seemingly is outlandish and extreme.  At least that is how it is reported in the media.  Every Tom, Dick and Harry is aghast at Trump's statement, with GOP members joining in with the media in lambasting Trump for having the gall to insult our friends in the Muslim community and our allies that are Muslim nations overseas.

Among the overcrowded list include GOP Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R:SC), and even Carly Fiorina, sadly.  As Bill Bonner reported, Jeb Bush says he’s “unhinged”…Chris Christie says he has “no idea what [he’s] talking about”…John Kasich accuses him of “outrageous divisiveness”…and Marco Rubio describes him as “offensive and outlandish.” And those are just his fellow Republicans! “Reprehensible… prejudiced…” adds Hillary Clinton.

Not all are against Trump on this issue.  Rush Limbaugh does not find it unreasonable. Rand Paul, a fierce critic of Trump on the campaign stump, has previously proposed a plan which was aimed at banning immigration from countries in the Middle East where radical Islam is a big problem. Additionally, Sarah Palin had previously called for profiling of Muslims. Sounds reasonable to me.

While Trump did not do a good job in articulating his objectives, and was actually vague in outlining his potential actions, the premise of his remarks, which we consider to be "calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on" quite reasonable given some simple, "common sense" criteria in application.

It is not unprecedented in this nation. Under number eight of US Code 1182, inadmissible aliens, a law written in 1952 called the Nationality Act, "Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by president.  Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."

In fact, President Jimmy Carter utilized it to keep Iranians (Obama's good friends) out of our nation during the hostage crisis. Carter, who for those out to lunch, was and still is a staunch Democrat (and a horrible president), actually ordered the deportation of a large number of Iranians.

It is not Donald Trump that is extreme and seeking to derail long standing principles of this nation; that would be transformer in chief Barack Obama. Obama has opened the floodgates to illegal immigrants with Muslim backgrounds.

It would certainly appear that Trump is channeling his inner "Art of the Deal" negotiation strategy, invoking the Overton Window theory regarding immigration in this country.

All illegal immigration needs to be immediately stopped, with the borders (north and south) being sealed. Although the president told us otherwise (liar in chief), US officials admit ISIS is planting operatives among the tens of thousand women, children and orphans invading our nation on a daily basis, which without question, poses significant national security issues.

The legal process of immigration, a process that is heartily welcomed and needed for the survival of our nation, must be promptly streamlined and redesigned to meet the myriad of new challenges the act presents. While there are significant measures to be enacted, and far reaching legalities to be considered, it is not a process that could not be tackled appropriately within 60 days.

Those who are already here who commit a felony crime will be immediately deported if found guilty be our legal process.  A plan for those who entered illegally must be drawn up, which include penalties.  We have laws, and those whose first act in stepping foot in our nation is to break the law must be assessed punitive penalties.

Many have cited Constitutional issues with Trump's outline for a plan. Call me crazy, but illegal immigrants are not protect by the US Constitution, as they have no legal rights. As of now, and not for the lack of effort by Obama, we are not an open society where all the world is entitled to the benefits of being an American citizen.

Many are very concerned about Trump supposedly insulting the Muslim community.  I am far more offended about Obama insulting us, lecturing us repeatedly about how wonderful Islam and the people of that religion are.

Trump is playing everyone.  But he is correct.  We are at war, and it is beyond nonsensical to allow our nation to be invaded by illegal immigrants from nations that wish us harm, many who belong to a religion that deems us infidels and ultimately seek the establishment of a caliphate to ultimately rule the word.  Their words, and the teachings of the Quran, say it is so.

Don't let the lamestream media trump you. Yes, shut the borders down immediately, and allow no more illegal immigration.

Progressives: The Mad Dogs of Hell

Donald Trump's recent comments on immigration have lit a political fire that may well burn down many before being extinguished. The comments area as follows:

"The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems. Thank you. It's true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people. It's coming from more than Mexico. It's coming from all over South and Latin America, and it's coming probably -- probably -- from the Middle East. But we don't know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don't know what's happening. And it's got to stop and it's got to stop fast."

In response to the heavy criticism, Trump responded with the following comments:

 I was really criticized for the border, but the truth is it’s true. They think it’s like Mother Teresa is coming across the border. Well, I said drug dealers, I said killers, and I said rapists. They made the word rapists, they really picked that up. I tell you, I love the folks from South America. They’re friends of mine. Many work for me. Many are friends. Many buy apartments from me. I have great love for the Mexican people, and I always have, and they like me. No apology because everything I said is 100% correct. All you have to do is read the newspapers."

Donald J. Trump

While those who deem America oppressive and advocate for progressive ideals inclusive of open borders are continuing to blast Trump as incorrect, racist and bigoted through seemingly orchestrated waves of progressive politicians and media propagandists, the fact of the matter is Trump is quite accurate.

However, even with an introduction of the facts, those pesky leftists will pretend they don't exist and march right on with their agenda, which in this arena seems to be based on using hate speech laws to destroy America.

But Trump has indeed struck a serious nerve with these recent comments about illegal immigration, with two significant byproducts producing what appears to be a violent upcoming collision.

First, Trump has surged in the polls of those seeking the GOP nomination, as many in the electorate found very refreshing his challenge of open borders and the ridiculous effort, or lack thereof, of the government to halt illegal immigration. Although his comments could have been said with greater maturity, he was essentially accurate and I am among the many who are in agreement with Trump on this subject.

"I’ve never seen them this outraged, this vicious, this motivated, this coordinated – NEVER in all my years in politics, have I seen anything like the way the mad dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump ---Wayne Allyn Root

Second, the political correctness police has unleashed the gates of hell on Trump based on his "accurate" comments, including Univision and Macy's, both ending long relationships with Trump.  Univision says it will not broadcast the Miss USA pageant as contractually obligated due to Trump's comments, but Trump has counted with a lawsuit heavy on zeros.

Others who joined in boycotting Trump and Trump properties include the PGA, ESPN and regrettably, NASCAR and one of its signature sponsors Camping World.  The media, as you may suspect, made it out to be bigger than it was.

Rush Limbaugh noted that the GOP establishment has seemingly aligned against Trump's stance on illegal, may I repeat, illegal, immigrants. The list includes, of course, Jeb Bush, along with Marco Rubio and Chris Christie, each a 2016 candidate, along with GOP pundit Michael Steele and conservative columnist George Will. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus even called Trump to tell him to back off.

Hell, it's a Rhino convention!

Rick Perry condemned Trump for using such a wide brush in describing the illegal immigrants, which is odd because Rick Perry has a pretty darn good record in fighting the in-flight of the illegals on his Texas border.

When asked if he thought Donald Trump's comments on Mexicans have hurt the Republican Party, Mitt Romney relied "Yes, I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican Americans and I feel it was unfortunate." News flash to ole Mitt; illegal immigrants are not Mexican Americans, as astutely pointed out by a caller into Rush.

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is the only GOP 2016 candidate I have heard defend Trump in any form or fashion on this topic.

Some in the GOP consider Trump a mole, taking votes away from a potential winner in the GOP much as Ross Perot effectively did back in 1992.

 As Dustin Ulsterman of DC Whispers reports, "The path is being paved in real-time at this very moment and is apparently set to be unleashed “very soon.” An all out assault upon the Trump organization by Obama/Jarrett-approved operatives within the Mainstream Media to both humiliate and weaken the Republican candidate for his recent demand that something be done to secure the southern border."

Ulsterman added on his Facebook page the following accurate assessment of the trouble facing Trump: "Trump is in big-big trouble. They want to destroy him. It seems to have become very personal with them. He has threatened decades of effort in changing the face of the voting public. Another five years, ten at most, and conservatism will be an insignificant minority throughout most the country. Republicans will be an arm of the Democratic Party meant only to keep up the appearance of a choice. There will be no choice. There already is hardly one now. Donald Trump is disrupting that dynamic and they won’t stand for it. The countdown to his demise begins now."

In the real estate business myself, I have been a longtime fan of Donald Trump, admiring his work as a real estate developer.  As a candidate, while I am in full agreement with many of his positions, he is not among my favorites.

Although he considers himself one, I do not find him a conservative.  Trumps' positions on eminent domain, the Iraq war, taxation and health care are not in line with my principles and beliefs in those areas. In addition, Trump, who was a registered Democrat until 2009, has given money to many Democrats in the past, including Hillary Clinton, and speculated about Oprah Winfrey, among Obama's top supporters, being his vice presidential pick.  No Thanks!

America does not want a contest of Jeb Bush versus Hillary Clinton.  The reason Trump is rising so quickly is that Americans are tired of weakness and lies, and want somebody who is not afraid to upset the status quo, accurately stated by Ronald Reagan as "the mess we're in".

Trump is making some serious waves, tapping into an angry electorate, saying things most of the other candidates are too politically correct to say. Until such time a GOP candidate joins him in bucking those in the establishment, like this dope, and calling out those who are complicit in the destruction of America, I suspect he will remain high in the polls.

"People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme. It's not extreme, it's common sense. We need to secure the border.” said 2016 GOP candidate Carly Fiorina.

Border security is just common sense, for those of us who still have some.

Crony, Phony and Downright Dangerous

Although GOP hopeful Carly Fiorina accurately notes logging mile flying worldwide is an activity and not an accomplishment, Hillary Clinton portrays the book of her life as containing volumes of significant achievement.  With the mainstream media labeling her the most qualified to seek the office of the presidency, which is fall off the stool laughable, it would appear from the dismal turnout on her recent book tour the electorate know better.

Editorial Essay/Micahel Ramirez/Investors.com

It remains an imponderable that seemingly half the country, after all this time, really has no idea who Hillary Clinton really is.  Readers of the blog will recall we have devastated her in previous blog posts, most notably the one describing her as lurking in the shadows.

The Clinton's are everything the Progressives claim to despise. Rich and powerful members of the 1%, they award gifts and access to those who pay for them, engaging in crony capitalism making the system inefficient and crowding our opportunities for those on the outside to achieve success. If the Progressives were legitimate in their quest for the working family, they would run from these folks like their hair was on fire. But, the Progressives are far from who they claim to be, and it should be easily obvious to all.

Since the very bizarre beginning of her 2016 campaign, each step has been a train wreck, not withstanding the news media carnage while foot chasing her around while she rides aimlessly in her rented econoline van.

Sure, we laugh at the meetings with ordinary folks in random areas of Iowa that are actually orchestrated with campaign operatives playing the roles of Hawkeye voters.  HRC, who has reportedly not driven a car sine 1996 (yeah, she is just like you) rolls up to your local fast food outlet like it is an everyday occurrence.

By the way, have you seen Bill around?  Have you ever wondered the last time they slept in the same bed together like 99% of most other married couples?  Oh, they are in the 1%; I almost forgot.

Everything about this woman presented in the mainstream media is propaganda, except now that the curtains have been pulled on the Clinton Global Initiative, it may be a matter of fraud.  Frequently lying to the American public is certainly not considered virtuous as the Founders hoped our leaders would be. Selling access to a public official usually ends in jail, but somehow it seems jail is not a place a political darling will end up, although former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell may quarrel with you.

But selling weapons to friends and enemies without proper Congressional approval could be considered treason based upon who actually got the weapons.  Yes, ever widening pay to play scandal has entered the realm of international arms dealing, as reported by DC Whispers.  The more we learn, the closer we come to preparing a cell in the Graybar Hotel next to Mr. McDonnell.

A logical look at Hillary Clinton would conclude she has been champion of distortion and failure throughout her career.  However, if you approach it from what she would deem successful, from a basis of the teachings of Saul Alinsky and Cloward and Piven, you consider her a rousing success.

For those of us who are stewards of the Founding Fathers, who believe in limited government, liberty, freedom and the right to pursue happiness free from excessive government intervention through regulation and taxation, she is in no way, shape or form is this an individual we should even remotely consider for our highest office. She is a champion of distortion and failure, an oppressor of the little people and someone who lies at the shift of the wind to bolster her personal position.

She is a crony, a phony and as it turns out, a very dangerous individual to the freedoms American holds dear.

As noted by Cleon Skousen in his brilliant book "The 5000 Year Leap, "The most promising method of securing a virtuous and morally stable people is to elect virtuous leaders."

Without question, this does not describe Hillary Clinton.

The Candidates Cruz

The copy of the painting below is outstanding, and may be foretelling as we approach the 2016 election.

There are several candidates seeking the GOP nomination, and I would support each and every one of them in a battle against Hillary Clinton.

Many candidates have officially jumped in, while others are waiting around, raising money and sizing the electorate.

Commentary about the candidates will be held back at this time as the field settles in but will come at a later date.

For now, I will rank them in four tiers as I see the field right now. Tier 4 are candidates that I am not crazy about. Tier 3 will include some I am intrigued by and want to hear more from. Tier 2 includes those who are positioned to perhaps gain some traction, and among the group a VP candidate may come from. Tier 1 will include those that I am strongly considering and among the group my choice will likely come from.

The list only includes individuals that appear likely to jump in the race.

Tier 1:   Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Scott Walker and Marco Rubio

Tier 2:   Rick Santorum, Rick Perry and Allen West

Tier 3:   Carly Fioirina, Dr. Ben Carson, Bobby Jindal, John Bolton, and Donald Trump.

Tier 4:   John Kasich, George Pataki, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Peter King and Lindsey Graham

I am looking to eject from the status quo, which as Ronald Reagan said, is Latin for "the mess we're in".

Stay tuned!

A Champion of Distortion and Failure

On Sunday, the inevitable announcement came that Hillary Clinton will be running for president, seeking the Democratic nomination that slipped through her fingers in 2008 when a dashing community organizer with spiteful disdain for America appeared as the one the progressive left has been dreaming about stole it away.

Although this has the look of a coronation, even with the Clinton's setting the rules of engagement for the media and potential primary opponents, it is hard to imagine that no other Democrat wants this job.

Almost immediately, her campaign is full full of missteps and mistruths.  For example, she went on a bus tour stopping along the way at a Chipolte (owned by huge Democrat supporters ) for a bite to eat, just like the common man does each day.  Except, this is activity she simply does not engage in, having not paid for a meal in decades and reportedly not having driven a car since 1996.  Hillary is far form a normal person, in fact loathing the little guy she purports to wake up every day to make life better for.

Hillary Clinton in staged Iowa event.

Today, she met with common folk for a chat, even though the "common folk" were driven to the location by campaign operatives. "Everyday" Iowans outside looking in had a rough day, but for those on the inside, it was sunshine and lollipops. For the Clintons, it is all a fabrication, and the joke is on us.

While she has logged many a mile, as prospective GOP candidate Carly Fiorina so appropriately pointed out, flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.  Clinton operatives are out touting her record, recently evidenced by Howard Dean noting she is the only candidate with foreign policy experience.

New flash to Dean; the experience is far from anything to brag about.  While she was Secretary of State, the situation in the middle wast has completely collapsed due to horrendous polices with the middle east left in ruin having become a major national security threat with Iran gaining legitimacy and strength.

Her reset with Russia have left us with Vladimir Putin invading countries and with our relationship with Russia at its lowest point since the conclusion of the cold war.  At best, her lack of attention to detail in Benghazi resulted in our Ambassador being murdered, along with three other heroes with nobody held in account for the tragedy.

Clinton lied about the incident to the American people, and made no mention about the real reason for the firefight, which was illegal gun running. But hey, what difference does it really make?

Recently, she lied about email accounts during her tenure as Secretary of State, where she destroyed emails of her experiences, skirting federal law. While due to this matter she should be facing jail time, it becomes evident that Clinton does not have to live by the same rules, or laws, you and I, and most other elected officials, do.

On a side note, I get real torqued when politicians think they are above it all and destroy documents that belong to the people and sever the preservation of the historical record., where the Clinton clan has along history, inclusive of Sandy Burglar.

We have informed you of the danger of Hillary Clinton in previous posts, most notably in this piece.  Hillary Clinton is a liar, far more interested in self promotion than the health and welfare of America, a country she has disdain for as evidenced by her close associations over the years with anti-American activists inclusive of Saul Alinsky and Frances Fox Piven.

Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to be your champion. I want individuals across the fruited plain to all be champions, forging their own path unencumbered by a controlling government. As Senator Rick Santorum recently said, "Clinton believes government is the solution to the challenges our nation faces, not the underlying cause of many of those problems".

She is an arrogant hypocrite, an intellectual progressive operative with disdain for the blue collar working families she professes to support, an individual who dreams of squelching free markets through taxation and regulation championing crony capitalism in support of self promotion and her political advocates all the while welcoming opportunities to abuse power.

In no way, shape or form is this an individual we should even remotely consider for our highest office.  She is a champion of distortion and failure.

Gore Fits Obama's Controlling System

The anointing of Hillary Clinton as the 2016 Democratic nominee for president has ran into some quick sand, due to her failing to adhere to best practices she forced her staff to follow and violating the law by withholding correspondence and documents during her destructive tenure as Secretary of State.

Hillary Clinton, as we have previously noted on numerous occasions, is not worthy of holding higher office in our government.  Beyond being a socialist disciple of Saul Alinsky, she has no service of merit, had a disastrous tenure as Secretary of State with debacles with a Russia "reset" and oversaw the horrendous events of Benghazi.  She is an elitist member of the ruling class, and a liar.

Who knew long shot GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina would have the line of the month, noting that all the flying Ms. Clinton fancies as accomplishment is actually nothing more than an activity. BAM!

There will be those that will continue to love her no matter what; the ready for Hillary crowd.  These people are brainwashed idiots; our liberal friends who know so much that is not so.

The pundits backing Clinton are blaming the GOP for stirring up this trouble, part of the "right wing conspiracy" she claimed has been after her and her husband for decades.  If only it were true.

The GOP leadership is feckless, and would not know how to knock Ms. Clinton off her game if they had the playbook.  Sadly, as evidenced by the lack of measurable resistance to Obama, many must agree with policies she advances.

Famed author Ed Klein has it right.  It is Obama, and more specifically his henchwoman Valerie Jarrett, who is going after Hillary.  Obama and his backers are not supporting Clinton, thinking she is not leftist enough to continue the Obama policies, and are the ones who are attacking her campaign.

Jarrett has reportedly been in talks with both Elizabeth Warren and Martin O'Malley to step in as the preferred candidate after Clinton is disposed of.  But, there is one individual who, in his arrogance, would love to step in; Al Gore.

Gore is a complete buffoon to most, but to those progressive elitists who champion control over the people, the work Gore has put in in the arena of climate change is most appreciated. Should Gore ride in, it would immediately prompt America to debate global warming, which I deem among the greatest hoaxes of all time.

In the early pages of Cleon Skousen's Five Thousand Year Leap, government is accurately defined as "as system of ruling or controlling".  The American Founders measured political systems in terms of the amount of coercive power or systematic control which a particular system exercises over its people, with the yardstick not political parties, but political power.

Global Climate Change is a manufactured mechanism to, under a perceived fear of the unknown, seize an element of control over the people through measured deemed reasonable to combat the propagandized threat.

Gore claims the science is settled, although nothing could be further from the truth.

Just this week, Gore claimed those who disagreed with his "settled" science should be punished punitively. For all the moonbats who think Gore would be a ideal candidate, imagine for a moment how damaging his proposal to punish punitively those who disagree with government policy is to our founding principle of freedom of speech.

Gore, like Hillary Clinton and most certainly Barack Obama, claim to be fighters for the little people, but favor and implement polices that restrict freedom for all and provide substantial road blocks to those who are aiming to seize the personal freedom and achievement this glorious nation offers.

Think about giving some fish to eat, rather than teaching how to fish and become self sufficient.  Only those powerful enough to dish out entitlements are powerful enough to take them away.

And with the restrictions and regulations being placed on our corporations and citizens by elected officials who cannot predict when it will rain next, in the the name of Global Climate Change, expenses are increased and freedoms are indeed lost. This political power exercised over the people hurts the lower income people the most, the very people these leftist liars claim to be breaking their backs to help.

What would help is less government, which showers the people with freedom and liberty.

99ers Boxed In

Nationally, not withstanding the ineffective and harmful moves by the Obama administration, high unemployment levels remain an anchor on the recovery effort of the economy.

Congress has expanded the time frame for unemployment benefits to 99 weeks, but since each of the moves made by the administration, from raising taxes to expanding regulatory burdens, have placed barriers on small business creation and expansion, the economy remains in borderline contraction.

Few places have been hit harder than California. Last night, 60 Minutes ran a simply devastating story on the unemployment situation, centering around California towns in Silicon Valley. This is a must see piece:



The benefits are about to run out for many of these folks. Unfortunately, since rather than creating an environment for business to prosper, the government has expanded regulatory constraints, raised taxes and created uncertainty going forward on what steps they will take to further control the lives of the people.

It seems those in charge are following the Cloward & Piven playbook, crashing the system and forcing the people to turn to government for the answers. In California, those in charge would include arrogant left wing Senator Barbara Boxer.



It appears much of the nation is ready to throw out of office many of these types, but polls indicate that California may re-elect nanny state supporters. It has not worked well for the Golden State, which is borderline bankrupt. In the case of Barbara Boxer, opposing her is a candidate with prime business experience in Carly Fiorina.

Time is up California. No extension of the unemployment benefits past 99 weeks. Put arrogant Senator Boxer to rest, elect Fiorina, and Meg Whitman for that matter, and get some jobs created!
