Trump 2020

The choice for President in 2020 is quite clear: Donald J. Trump!

In the Democrat challenger Joe Biden, a lifetime Senator from Delaware who became vice president under Barack Obama, America could expect to be dealt a devastating blow to prosperity should he be elected. 

Biden, who does not have an original idea with respect to Coronavirus, would listen to the scientists who are financially invested in the virus and have been noting but wrong so far in the predictions surrounding the virus. A Biden presidency will usher in further infective lockdowns.

Biden is weak, and heavily influenced by a group of radicals who will shove him aside if he is victorious and forge forward on actually following through on Obama's idea of fundamentally transforming The United States of America.  

Packing the courts, adding states to strengthen the position in their Congress and eliminating the electoral college ( a last line of defense of middle America) would arrogantly achieve that.

The mainstream media has had limited coverage, if they have covered it all, of the corruption involving Joe Biden's son Hunter. Evidence suggests Joe Biden had some level of involvement. I would like to know; wouldn't you? Some of these allegations have interaction with the communist government of China. Perhaps most importantly, if elected it is feared Biden will surrender to China and welcome placing America under globalist's rule under the "great reset.".

Biden supports anti-capitalist agendas involving such items as rent control and will increase taxes and regulation  This will thwart prosperity. Rule of law will relax and violence on our streets would escalate under Biden's direction. Citizens will then welcome big government to expand authority to squelch the unrest, which is part of the original plan.

America, as founded, would risk being lost forever under Biden's leadership. Biden seeks the overreaching government hand Ronald Reagan warned us about in his "Time For Choosing" speech in October of 1964. In fact, we are indeed at time for choosing.

Meanwhile, under President Trump, America can expect to embrace freedom while increasing prosperity.  

Continued progress will significantly restrict the virus, and it will fade into the annuals of history.

Entrepreneurship and individual freedom for all will advance.  Taxation and regulation will remain reasonable, assisting in the continued growth of the economy which offers avenues of prosperity for everyone.

America will continue to stand strong on the world stage, no longer being taken advantage of by those who seek ill will upon our people. Peace comes through strength, and the advancements recently made under President Trump will continue to bear fruit in that regard.

Rule of law will be expected and enforced. Racism, police brutality and rogue gangs terrifying our cites will not be tolerated. Equal justice for all will stand tall. 

If the DC elite does not like the way President Trump goes about his business, we take that as as a badge of honor. That elite has been wrecking our nation, without a care in the world of the citizens they proclaim to be attempting to help. It is President Trump who is lifting the forgotten man, and people on the ground of all races and income levels know it. 

Anybody who seeks individual freedom and prosperity and for America to continue her stature as a beacon of freedom and peace in the world should without question cast their ballot to re-elect Donald J. Trump as President of The Untied States.  We would walk over broken glass to do so. So should you. 

MAGA!

 

The Light of Life Burns

It's A Wonderful Life

This is without question of of the greatest films of all time, seen mostly around the Christmas holiday season.

There are a multitude of valuable lessons to be learned within the film, some noted in the following linked piece.

But there is much more to be learned, as outlined in a piece from Imprimis titled Frank Capra’s America and Ours. A quote from the writings of John Marini tackles the relativity from Capra's words and principles to those of America, and a man who shared them.

It is hard to think of a better way to describe Frank Capra’s view of the world, and America’s place in fulfilling its purpose, than to turn to another great American who made his living in the world of motion pictures. Ronald Reagan was a friend and admirer of Frank Capra. They were very much alike. The inscription that Reagan had carved on his tombstone could have been written by Capra: “I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there is purpose and worth to each and every life.” Both Capra and Reagan looked to a benevolent and enduring Providence, and the best in man’s nature, as the ultimate grounds of political right. For them, as for Lincoln, America was more than a geographical location or a place where citizens shared a common blood or religion, or belonged to a common culture or tradition. America was a place where an enlightened understanding of “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” had made it possible to establish those principles of civil and religious liberty that gave “purpose and worth to each and every life.”

One of the strongest statements within the film comes nearing the conclusion. It is very simple, but most meaningful:

"Remember no man is a failure who has friends."

Merry Christmas to you all!

Larry Kudlow

Larry Kudlow will take the job of top economic advisor to President Donald Trump.

President Trump named Larry Kudlow as the replacement for the departed Gary Cohn as National Economic Council director.

From our perspective, this is an excellent choice!

We have been longtime fans of Kudlow, reaching back through his long tenure with CNBC back to his days with the Reagan administration.

Certainly, while we are in agreement with much of Kudlow's free market and strong dollar advocacy, there are areas where we disagree. Without question, Kudlow will not always see things as President Trump does, and the recent topic of tariffs is one of them.

What Trump will find in Kudlow is a smart economist who has been around the block, a man steadfast in beliefs having witnessed their successes over decades. Additionally, Trump will benefit from Kudlow as a respectful and honest broker in debate, which will serve President Trump and our nation well.

As Kudlow is famous for noting, "Free Market Capitalism is the Best Path to Prosperity."

Broken Silence Telling

Both Bush Presidents Vengefully Berate President Trump in a New Book

Left Purposely Forgets The Forgotten Man

"The Forgotten Man President Trump often references should never be forgotten.

At CPAC 2017, a speech from Amity Shlaes, author of the brilliant work "The Forgotten Man," introduces him to you. He is an individual the left forgets in orchestrated fashion, as he serves as a vehicle for their social engineering projects.

Ronald Reagan once said government is not the solution to the problem; government is the problem.

Amidst confusing economic and governmental policy, understanding the plight of the forgotten man develops the knowledge that potentially morally sound efforts at intervention come with heavy costs on free markets and individual freedom through excessive taxation and regulation.

As such, while the forgotten man bears the costs associated with government provided entitlements, which strip away the freedom and dignity of the individual recipient, one should never forget there is no free lunch.

Free Market Capitalism remains the best path to liberty and prosperity!

Enduring Love for the United States of America!

"In the rhetoric of Reagan and Trump there is a simplicity and a directness that is familiar to, and appeals to, the men and women out in Middle America, to whom both directed their campaigns."

Both men have an enduring love for the United States of America!

They Want The Government To Quit Doing Things To Them

"Most Trump supporters don’t want the government to do something for them; they want the government to quit doing things to them. They viscerally revile the elite—it’s personal—and they want no part of that class or its government. They know how to take care of themselves, and many know the government hurts the most those whom it ostensibly protects."

 Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.--Ronald Reagan

Much More Than Trump by Robert Gore

Hillary Insults Silent Majority

As noted by AgainstCronyCapitalism.org, without question, "The political class loathes a large part of this country. Now it’s official."

We cannot get enough of British freedom fighter Nigel Farage, who joined Stuart Varney on Varney & Co. this morning on the FOX Business Network.
 
Farage accurately noted, People have had enough of being sneered at by out of touch political ‘elites'.

Indeed.

Hillary Clinton, while completely unfit for public office, really committed a political error in insulting half of the country, who supports her competitor Donald Trump.  There are enough people in the middle who really don't appreciate being insulted, and certainly in this political season, that amount could sway an election.

Hillary Clinton should be quite careful insulting the silent majority in this country, made up in large measure of Reaganites who abhor political elites who are dangerously out of touch with the greater majority of the citizenry and how ordinary people live and conduct their lives.

Nigel is quite correct, and it appears the silent majority ship has left port, sailing for seas of freedom and liberty, sinking the intellectual elites in similar fashion to those who were shocked by Brexit.

Insanity

This is completely insane.

"U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman wrote that John Hinckley Jr., 61, no longer poses a danger to himself or others and will be freed to live full time with his mother in Williamsburg, Va."

This scumbag was not locked up because he might hurt himself or others, he was serving the penalty for his crime of attempting to assassinate our president.

I find this beyond offensive and another signal our criminal justice system is flawed.

Would-be Reagan assassin John Hinckley Jr. to be freed after 35 years--Washington Post

Happy Independence Day

"I Can't Imagine Life Without Her"

Nancy Reagan, wife of 40th President Ronald Reagan,  passed away early Sunday morning at the age of 94.

She will be re-united with the love her of life, The Gipper, Ronald Reagan, our 40th president.

The love affair of the Reagans was something to behold, and Reagan's love letters to his beloved Nancy are a must read for romantics worldwide.

We remembered comments President Reagan made in 1994 regarding Nancy:

"Nancy Davis Reagan has led a remarkable life -as an adoring daughter, a loving mother, a devoted and sensitive partner, and a worthy ambassador for our country as First Lady. I have seen her cope bravely with life's most difficult challenges, exuding grace and dignitiy and strength. I am so proud of this woman...I can't imagine life without her." --Ronald Reagan.
 
God Bless Mrs. Reagan. RIP

A Devastating Death

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, dead at 79

The new leaked out late Saturday afternoon.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia passed away early Saturday morning while on a hunting trip in Texas apparently from natural causes.

Scalia was 79.

“This is a devastating loss for people who love this country. It’s a devastating loss for those of us who love the Constitution,” said radio talk show host and Constitutional scholar Mark Levin.

Devastating indeed.

Scalia, appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, was perhaps one of the greatest supreme court justices has seen in a century.

An individual with extreme intellect, Scalia's writings, often in dissent, were often laced with wit and sharply directed commentary at liberal ideologies which were a pleasure to dissect.

Unlike some of his colleagues, and what seems to be a position gaining support across the nation, Scalia appropriately advocating the interpreting the Constitution by its original intent and wording, not viewing the cornerstone document of our founding as something to be tinkered with by intellectual elites who think they know best.

“It’s an absolute disaster. Let me put it this way, Scalia is kind of the Churchill, the Thatcher, and the Reagan of the Supreme Court. He wasn’t even Chief Justice and yet his impact has been massive as an originalist,” Levin went on. “The point is, he moved the Court in ways that the Court would never have moved before, even though we have these disastrous opinions coming from the Court, the brilliance of his decisions … he was able to cobble together often four justices, sometimes five justices. He was energetic, he was intellectually bracing. He was by far the leader of that Court, and there are great Justices on that Court,” added Levin.

Judge Scalia will leave a huge void, one that could have negative ramifications on this nation for eternity. In fact, it occurred to me upon learning of Scalia's passing we may have just lost the country.

Scalia was a faithful defender of the Constitution.  To Scalia, the Constitution was not a living and breathing document; it was dead, dead, dead.

America will suffer without his protection on the court, and if republicans in the senate do not step up fiercely within the fire, our country as we have known her may have perished on this Saturday along with beloved Justice Scalia.

“God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools ... and he has not been disappointed,” Scalia said. “If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity,” he added. “Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.” --Justice Antonin Scalia

Wish You Were Here

We Waved Goodbye

Space Shuttle Challenger Crew

FOX News reports on this day, a day thirty years ago we lost the Space Shuttle Challenger, that "Family members of Challenger victims to mark 30 years since shuttle disaster".

"It's going to be wonderful to watch the pages turn,"  said June Scobee Rodgers, widow of Challenger commander Dick Scobee, earlier this week. The second generation "can now speak for our family and speak for the nation," she said, adding that she's looking forward to these grown astronauts' children "sharing their stories, their beliefs and their leadership."

Americans, and certainly us Floridians living near Kennedy Space Center, share a sense of pride of our space program. Space exploration is most dangerous, and is only reserved for our bravest pioneers.

It was a dark day for America.

The Challenger mission was noteworthy for having a civilian astronaut, Christa McAuliffe, a teacher who took the hearts of students across the fruited plain with her on her voyage.

In similar fashion to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, most remember where they were when the tragic, televised event, took place.

I recall watching it unfold in the cafeteria of my fraternity house at Florida State University; it was approaching the lunch hour.  Within a half hour of it occurring, I picked up my now wife after her class and sadly informed her of what had transpired.

With the eyes of America swelling in tears, President Ronald Reagan addressed the nation with beautiful words and elegant grace. Reagan spoke for all of America, and today we remember with heavy hearts the lost crew of the Challenger Space Shuttle.

Rockin The Bloat

The Hill columnist John Feehery is an absolute idiot, as he said:

“Listen, I think both Cruz and Trump would have a similar impact on the party, neither of which would be very good. I am actually more concerned about Cruz than I am about Trump,” said GOP strategist John Feehery, a former senior leadership aide who is a columnist for The Hill. Feehery added, “I think Cruz has made a reputation of relentless mendacity ... I think he’s a demagogue and I think he’ll destroy the party. I think Trump is much more of a blowhard. But there’s not really a dime’s worth of difference between Trump and Cruz.” 

Actually, Trump and Cruz differ significantly.

Trump is a get things done progressive, who thinks he can utilize his management skills to orchestrate the levers of government to function in a much more efficient and productive manner.  Banking the many relationships he has established in many areas of commerce, Trump visualizes making America great again.

Trump thinks our government is led by a bunch of idiots who fail miserably at getting what those of on the outside would be considered common sense initiatives implemented.  The Donald finds their negotiating skills horrendous, monetary management atrocious and lack of a backbone and ability to advance positive solutions for the nations ills a mind boggling failure. And Trump is not afraid to call them out either.

Americans, not only republicans but democrats and independents, are eating it up.  Trumps position in the polls is not by mistake, is on quite solid ground and appears to be gaining strength.

But there are many pitfalls in the course of action Trump aims to take, as it appears Trump has no plans for a reduction in government activities, just promises much stronger management and effectiveness on the activities he deems warranted. But continued centralized planning and control, a mainstay for progressives, makes for a powerful government highly susceptible to corruption, which is something Trump campaigns against.

Cruz is a Constitutional conservative.

Following the constitution is paramount for Cruz as he seek to bring America back to her founding principles, which are inclusive at their core to individual rights, limited government and Christian values.  Cruz finds the government bloated and oppressive in their ever expanding regulation and taxation, and seeks to limit government influence in the everyday lives of the citizenry, returning the power to the people.

Cruz does not view our current government as idiots at large, rather men who adhere to a differing ideology which borders on anti-american, policies that favor a reduction in the sovereignty of our nation, increasing control over the citizenry by the ruling class and an oppressive government and centralized power increasing in reach from the people.

The reason Cruz ins unpopular with many of his colleagues in the Senate is due to the fact he has called them out as the thieves and liars they are, merchants of a corrupt system of the ruling class they desperately seek to protect.  As president, Cruz would immediately begin work to dismantle these levels of corruption in the halls of Congress.

So it is that one area Mr. Feehery is accurate in is that both men would derail the status-quo, which has the ruling class in GOP establishment quite concerned.  You know, Ronald Reagan labeled the status-quo as Latin for the mess we're in, and boy howdy, are we in a mess.

Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz

With the candidacy of Jeb Bush in ruins, the GOP establishment has turned to Marco Rubio, a candidate they tried to squash as he rose up as a Tea Party candidate challenging the unprincipled Charlie Crist is a senatorial race in Florida.

Now, Rubio is the only hope they have to salvage the big game they are playing in Washington. While not the wildcard Trump or Cruz represents, Rubio is not a sure bet for the establishment either, just preferable to the unthinkable.

But as it stands now, with Trump and Cruz out front, the establishment is very, very nervous.

Meet the ruling class, who consider authoritarian control over the nation appropriate, and as it suits them, engaging in corruption and failing to follow the rule of law with an allowance for what they view as legally permitted. Any candidate that is perceived as a threat to their power will be targeted for ridicule; labeled as extreme and discredited within the media.

While they fear Trump, they are petrified of Ted Cruz, and will make every effort to destroy either or both candidates as polling would dictate.

The long knives are out, including from some unlikely sources, inclusive of usually on point Ron Paul.

If they fail in the efforts of destruction of Trump and Cruz and cannot get Rubio in, many have stated openly about the possibility of a brokered GOP convention or God forbid, consideration of supporting Hillary Clinton.

They wonder how this has happened, but the rise of outsiders, of which both Trump and Cruz would be considered by any analytical measure, is a creation of a themselves, a republican party that has failed, in large measure since Reagan left office, in adhering to the principles of limited government, individual freedom entrepreneurship.

Rather than opposing the socialist democrats, with such limited push back while the government expansively runs roughshod over the citizenry, it would be reasonable to conclude the GOP was complicit and supportive of the transformation of America.

Exit all conservatives and libertarians, in addition to the Reaganite republicans.

Should the ruling class not be toppled in 2016, I am fearful America will continue to promptly drift away from freedom and liberty for all and become a much darker place as Reagan once warned us about.

Trump and Cruz differ significantly, and there is a choice to be made between the progressive Donald Trump, perhaps a version of the Gray Champion depicted in Struass and Howe's 1997 brilliant generational theory masterpiece "The Fourth Turning", or Ted Cruz, who wholeheartedly embraces the Constitution and the principles laid out by our founding fathers.

Either of these two gentlemen, both of whom are certain to crash the status-quo, would be far superior to another administration of ruling class elites who seek global governance, embrace the transformation of wealth and govern against the will of the people.

Our nation is in real trouble and the next administration will have legions of major, unforeseen issues to navigate through. We will need an individual whose feet are firmly planted in principle to guide us through.

Trimming The Bushes

The Bush family has a long legacy in politics in this nation.

Prescott Bush was a Senator from Connecticut, which heavily influenced his son, George Herbert Walker Bush, who became the 41st President of the United States after serving eight years as Vice President under President Ronald Reagan and had perhaps the most distinguished career of any modern day politician.

George H. W. Bush's son, Jeb Bush, currently running for the GOP nomination for president in 2016, was a very successful two term governor of the state of Florida.  Of course, another son, George W. Bush, after a successful two terms as governor of the state of Texas, became the 43rd President of the United States.

Overall, while many disagree with differing policies of the each of the Bush's during their tenures of governance, generally speaking most citizens have a favorable opinion of each of the men and their family.  I fit in that category.

As a Floridian, I though Jeb Bush performed very well as governor of my state. I have overall favorable of the presidencies of both 41 and 43, while I would not consider either among the top presidents in our history.  I am not supporting Jeb in 2016 for the GOP nomination.

The Bush family usually stays above the fray of political for the most part.  George W. Bush has had not one word of criticism of Barack Obama, who seemingly weekly blamed W for every problem he encountered.

But, sadly, over time, the Bush family has felt compelled to bash other republicans.  Former First Lady Barbara Bush had spoke strongly of her distaste for Sarah Palin.  Jeb Bush discussed how the GOP should move away from the policies of Ronald Reagan.

Unlike many, while we had areas of disagreement, we have always held George W. Bush in high regard.

Therefore, from a man of decency who has declined to comment on a president leading our nation to destruction, we were puzzled on his unprompted voiced negativity regarding Sen. Ted Cruz. Glenn Beck has a theory on this, on which we place a high degree of accuracy. On the issue in question, we strongly side with Sen. Cruz, and expansion into the area of question reveals some troubling avenues of concern, inclusive of immigration.

Although I did not really recognize it at the time, both Bush presidents can be classified as progressive, where the idea of government expansion in the lives of the citizenry, something Reagan acted against, is welcomed.  In fact, given the families close relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton, it would appear they have little problem with the US traveling the same track, just think they can do a btter jog of maneuvering the levers.

It appears, given where Jeb currently stands in the race for the 2016 GOP nomination, the progressive blueprint the Bush family has embraced to political success has been discovered by GOP primary voters and appears to be being soundly discarded.

At least we can recognize that the Bush family are good people, as evidenced by the actions of George W. Bush just today, who on this Veterans Day, visited a group of veterans who were visiting his presidential library in Dallas.


God Bless all our Veterans! We all greatly appreciate your service and sacrifice!
