Kerry, Obama Unleash Direct Betrayal of Israel

In the aftermath of the US abstention at the UN Security Council vote on a resolution slandering Israeli settlements (actually a directive from President Obama), Secretary of State John Kerry, an idiot at large who served in Vietnam, unleashed a comprehensive plan offering further destruction of the middle east while scolding Israel.













"Kerry's central conclusion, that "Israel can either be Jewish or democratic, it cannot be both" is an inanity that passes as profound only in Ivory Tower faculty lounges" offered Sen. Ted Cruz. "It is a sign of their radicalism and refusal to defend American interests, that Obama and Kerry choose to attack the only inclusive democracy in the Middle East -- a strong, steadfast ally of America -- while turning a blind eye to the Islamic terrorism that grows daily."

Kerry and Obama are opponents of America as founded, despising her and her allies all while emboldening her enemies. For me, aiding and abetting enemies of our nation is an act of Treason, Obama and Kerry should be held accountable in any and every legally permissible way.

Crisis Management

In the aftermath of the horrific terrorist attack in the SODO district of downtown Orlando, like clockwork, the left has unleashed an well coordinated and financed attack, not on those responsible for the attack, but on law abiding citizens of this nation.

Imagine the arrogance of this crowd, who immediately take their progressive ideology of government knows best to making tracks to steal your rights outlined for you in our Constitution away from you?

It is not just them.

Progressive republicans are sadly all too willing to join the fight.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

What part of this do these progressive elites not comprehend?

And for those who scoff at the idea the citizenry may at some point have to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government, they identify themselves as illiterate in history.

Sen. Ted Cruz took to the floor of the Senate to call these folks out.



Cruz accurately summed it up in a Tweet.









Forget that the progressive left has no right to infringe on the rights of the citizenry bestowed upon them in the Constitution, we are at war.

Ask anyone at Pulse; the government will fall far short in their efforts to protect you.  When it comes to crisis
management amidst a terror attack, you must protect yourself.

And against these ISIS fighters, that will be mighty tough to do after your government has disarmed you.

Orlando Terror














Radical Islam strikes again in the SODO district in the heart of downtown Orlando.

Terrorism is alive and well contrary to media reports and the bumbling of President Obama. When will America wake up!

Is anybody paying attention?

"ISIS Announced Florida Threat THREE Days Ago: “We Will Attack Florida!”

ISIS Muslim terrorists released a statement on their plan to attack Florida, and even put out a list with the names of people in Florida that they plan on killing."

Our president refuses to identify the enemy, and is making feeble if any efforts to eliminate them. Given the failure to face this evil with adequate force, no wonder the Trump train is gaining momentum! Americans have had enough!

“Our nation is at war. From 9/11 to the Boston Marathon, from Fort Hood to Chattanooga, from San Bernardino to last night’s horrific attack in Orlando, radical Islamic terrorism has declared jihad on America.” “It is a time for action. We need a Commander in Chief who will speak the truth, and who will unleash the full force and fury of the American military to utterly destroy ISIS and its affiliates." ---Sen. Ted Cruz (R:TX)
















As we expressed in previous posts, we had little doubt a terrorist act was imminent; however we had no idea it would occur in our own back yard.

We also had noted repeatedly Obama is not only the worst president ever but the first anti-American president.

Obama is literally on the other team, and Donald Trump just eluded to it, noting "He doesn't get it or he gets it better than anybody understands. It's one or the other, and either one is unacceptable." "We're led by a man who is a very -- look, we're led by a man that either is, is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind," which we consider to be the destruction of the United States of America as you have known her.

Sadly, we fear this is only the beginning of a very rough summer.

Everything you need to know about the Orlando terror attack is presented in the report from WFTV-ABC9 Orlando, with famed anchor Bob Opshal reporting.



President Obama, elected (sadly) to be OUR President, cannot bring himself to reach out to Florida Gov. Rick Scott as of this AM regarding the worst single shooting incident, an act of terrorism committed no just against the LGBT community, Latinos or Floridians, but against The United States of America. George W. Bush has done so, but not the petulant Obama. He is nothing short of a complete disgrace, and we will be most fortunate not to have many more Americans fall victim to terrorism before he exits office.


In a rather stunning speech today, a petulant Obama hunkered down in defense of Islam essentially blaming America for the grotesque loss of life in Orlando. Obama took a shot at Trump, as did Hillary in a follow up speech. But it is Trump who has accurately assessed the real issue, radical Islamic terrorists, and make no mistake, it is the left, led by these two anti-American elites, and their policies, that are in large measure to blame for this terrorism. As Katie Hopkins illustrated in a brilliant piece today, "Perhaps it is those who preach tolerance that we should be most afraid of. Democrats and liberals preach tolerance. But in doing so they have chosen to ignore the dark truths of a religion which is the most intolerant of all."

While Obama searches for a motive, The Daily Caller brings us stunning information about Orlando killer Omar Matteen. “It is no coincidence that this happened in Orlando,” a law enforcement source told Fox News Sunday." "Omar Mateen, the perpetrator of the terror attack in Orlando, was enrolled in an online Islamic fundamental course ran by a radical Muslim released from prison last year" named Marcus Dwayne Robertson, who runs a school in Orlando known as the Timbuktu Seminary. Robertson is reported to be the former bodyguard of Omar Abdel Rahman, otherwise known as the Blind Sheik, the mastermind of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

The motive of the terrorist act in Orlando is known to everybody and anybody, except our anti-American president whose dereliction of duty is getting folks killed, which just might be considered treason.














The events of a tragic weekend in The City Beautiful will leave our town scared forever.

On Friday night, emerging star Christina Grimmie was gunned down by a crazed individual signing autographs after a show at The Plaza Live over in The Milk District. We all were very saddened.

But, the terrorism events of early Sunday morning at The Pulse over in the SODO district floored our entire nation.

We remain at war with radical Islamic terrorists whether our anti-American president is aware of it or not. It is rather obvious Obama will not take any steps to destroy ISIS, so perhaps it will come down to the citizenry.

Or Donald J. Trump.

Tax Fraud as a Systematic Transfer of Wealth

MUST SEE VIDEO REPORT:

FOX News moderator Chris Wallace chastised Donald Trump for citing government waste as significant in a recent debate. If you only knew how correct Trump is.

As reported by "The Gateway Pundit", "A staggering 80% of Latino illegal immigrant families in California are living in poverty and need government assistance.

The Obama administration wants to open to door to millions more." According to the video report, illegal immigrants, through fraud associated with their ITIN numbers, are using the IRS as a cash register; with your money!


This theft must be stopped Monday morning at 8AM; but don't hold your breath.

The original report noted this was happening through a tax loophole; however, with the video going viral, Forbes.com looked into it and found something even more disturbing. They proclaim it "tax fraud".

Forbes attempted to identify who the culprits are, but left out the elephant in the rook: the corrupt IRS.

The IRS is too busy auditing Tea Party organizations and the private citizens who support them.  No doubt that the direction of the Obama administration, who is orchestrating and conducting a  force invasion of our nation by illegal immigrants, the IRS has been told to look the other way.

The funneling of money, in most cases blatantly illegal, is simply considered by the administration as reparations, an organized systematic transfer of wealth.  President Nixon was facing impeachment for threatening to utilize the IRS as a weapon against political opponents, but for some reason (our lawless Attorneys General), Obama can do it impunity.

This to must stop immediately, but it will not until we elect an individual who places the law above the men.

For the record, if elected, Donald Trump will build the wall and Ted Cruz will seek to "end the political targeting, simplify the tax code, and abolish the IRS as we know it."

Cruz Apparently Been Cruzin!

The media has gone hog wild over the National Enquirer cover suggesting Ted Cruz has "five" mistresses!










Cruz is quite the ladies man!  Who knew?

But the media is falling all over themselves to inform you of all the sordid details, just as soon as they find any.  Don't worry, it continues to be reported that rumors are being reported, with sources nobody know who know.

Yes, the National Enquirer did hit a home run, exposing former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards for the scum bag we always knew him to be.

But, the media is really overheating on Cruz.























Man, I don't recall even a mention when a tabloid exposed Obama for his gay activities, which at least to this point, have substantially more evidence behind them than the story about Cruz does.

Was there widespread media attention to this story reported in World Net Daily, with more reported HERE. Did anyone alert the media to this most troubling account?  What about his relationship with his former associate Reggie Love and others?

The media is biased at a minimum but actually complicit backing those in power who are participant in the destruction of our nation.

Oh well, nothing to see here. Ted Cruz is the new Brad Pitt. Carry on.

A Player On The Other Team

As GOP presidential front runner Donald Trump accurately notes, "The terrorists are totally winning."

We found that out the hard way again today in Brussels, where an orchestrated systematic attack occurred this morning.  We join Sen. Ted Cruz in lifting all those affected in prayer.

In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Obama is having a grand time chastising America in Communist Cuba, catching a Tampa Bay Rays game. While Brussels Bleeds, Obama Does the Wave

But are we allowing their success under our anti-American president?

"Everything he [Obama] has done has supported murdering Islamists and the Caliphate. He bows to Iran and is importing an invading Islamic force into the US. The rapidly expanding number of terrorist attacks, nations targeted and civilians killed virtually guarantees that terrorism will continue set new records in the years ahead. Thanks to Obama, a number of those records will no doubt be in the US." --Terresa Monroe-Hamilton.

Agree wholeheartedly.

As evidenced, not by his rhetoric, but by his actions, which dictates it is reasonable to conclude Obama is playing for the other team. In fact, there is evidence he has been a player on the other team, The Muslim Brotherhood, right from the start.

Security Concerns

Paid protesters at the direction of MoveOn.org (an organization Hillary Clinton helped start) forced the cancellation of a Donald Trump rally Friday evening in Chicago due to "security concerns".



Sen. Cruz sadly said "A campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment where the candidate urges supporters to engage in violence,"

Cruz is wrong.

Donald Trump is not to blame, the left is.

President Obama, the most divisive president perhaps ever, has created an environment which actively encourages division between race, class and economic standing. Trump accurately notes this, and those who are on the receiving end of the entitlements are prepared to initiate violence to keep them.

We appear to be carting a path similar to the election of 1968. Please pray for the safety of all our candidates, their supporters, the individuals who protect them, our police and our nation.

Free speech will not be silenced.

The Case For Cruz

BAHL Revere will  be casting a ballot on March 15 in Florida for Senator Ted Cruz of Texas for President of the United States of America.

To take a step back, the wide field for the GOP was a collection of outstanding individuals for consideration, with each and every one of them far superior to anyone the Democrats have running or thinking of running.

While a couple of them had no hope, some had stellar backgrounds and compelling visions for the future of America.

Rick Perry and Scott Walker were very accomplished men who for whatever reason were eliminated early on.  Both were outstanding, conservative governors.

Bobby Jindal has always impressed, but although he came out swinging, he never got any hits.

Sen. Rand Paul we hold in very high regard, but he got off kilter in many of the debates and did not in our estimation adequately address the terror issue, which sadly became a top discussion point in the aftermath of terrorist activity.

Carly Fiorina was tremendous, calling out folks and speaking with eloquent and intellectual precision, but she never could keep hold of gains she would make. If it were up to me, I would find something for her to do in the next administration.

The time has passed for Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, although Santorum does have keen insight on the Islamic situation, which could benefit the next president.

Chris Christie is a very smart guy and quite capable.  But over time, we have learned of his progressive leanings and we cannot get past his embrace, seemingly for political purposes, of President Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  Brokeback Boardwalk we found appalling.

As governor of Florida, we had absolutely no complaints with the performance of Jeb Bush.  But Bush is now an open border man, spearheaded common core and thinks we need to move away from the Reagan years.  He must have lost his ever loving mind. Thanks, but no thanks.

We have never really embraced John Kasich, who we consider a conservative Democrat.  Had he switched parties, he may well be our next President.  He is a fan of Common Core and thinks government can pick winners and losers, which I abhor.

Dr. Ben Carson is a brilliant mind and a wonderful person, and would be dealing with healthcare issues in the next administration if it were up to me.  But we never saw him as "the man" this go around.

That leaves Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.

Marco Rubio got our vote for Senate in Florida, where he campaigned as a Tea Party guy.  We elected him to go stop Obama.  Next thing we know, Rubio has team with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R:SC) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D:NY) to craft an immigration policy which allows forms of amnesty. In addition, Rubio cast the sixtieth vote on the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which we consider an attack on American sovereignty. Therefore, of the remaining three, he gets our bronze.

Donald Trump is an individual I have always liked over the years, and love his book "The Art of the Deal." In 2011, we asked Trump to run as a Democrat to derail Hillary, as Trump himself said he has always thought of himself as more of a Democrat.  Trump is scoring big on the issue of the border, and is also against the TPP, which no doubt helped him get the endorsement of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R:AL), one of our favorites.

We have been very disappointed with the demeanor carried by Trump during the campaign.  Trump does not take criticism lightly and appears to have an enemies list of those who he considers an opponent, which we do not condone.  Trump appears to not have a deep understanding of the Constitution, and seems uninterested with the constraints of placed on government within the document. He recently said he supports the healthcare mandate, which we deem unconstitutional.

The list of people who despise the candidacy of Trump includes many of our favorite folks, inclusive of Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Sen. Ben Sasse (R:NE), Dana Loesch, Andrew McCarthy, Dr. Thomas Sowell and David Barton to name a few.

Other folks we like are backing Trump, inclusive of Sen. Sessions, are Sarah Palin, Michael Savage, Eric Bolling and Steve Forbes.

Trump will get things done, and we consider him perhaps the Grey Champion described in work of Strauss and Howe in their "The Fourth Turning" book. As described by Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform, the Grey Champion "doesn't necessarily have to be a good person, but they must lead and display tremendous confidence in their cause and path." As America enters the period of a Fourth Turning, the arrival of a Grey Champion is a must, and he will come. Is he here?

While Trump is intriguing, a breath of fresh air and someone ready to place a well deserved kick in the ass to not only the GOP establishment but the entire ruling class, he exhibits too many liabilities to garner my support in the primary.

That leaves Sen. Ted Cruz.

In the last several weeks, the Cruz campaign has lapsed, having been taken off message and blindsided by some decisions made by staff members.  Cruz is in the weeds trading insults with Rubio and Trump and the news media.  Just this Sunday on FOX News, Cruz appropriately called out Chris Wallace, but when given the opportunity to knock him out with truth, failed to do so.

Cruz needs to get back to his original message, which empowers the individual, limits government, forces financial sanity and returns our nation the the friendly confines of the Constitution.

Much is made that Cruz is not well liked, but we view that as a positive. My vote is not sending him to Washington to get along with and do deals with progressives and socialist whose objective is to transform, if not ruin, the country as founded.

I know which politicians have been fighting Obama every step of the way, and Cruz leads that brigade. Cruz is a principled man with great respect for our founding who is country first, recognizing the expansive opportunities available in an America which champions liberty and freedom.

A major divide in the GOP is forming, and good people are getting in unnecessary scraps.  All of the blame can be placed on the GOP establishment, who have become one with the ruling class and have rejected the will of the governed.

While my ballot will be cast for Cruz, I fear it is too late with the Trump train having already left the station and I am quite certain Trump will win Florida easily.

Should Trump become the eventual nominee, while I have reservations beyond those documented above, I will support him against Hillary Clinton, who could never secure my vote, Micheal Bloomberg, who could never secure my vote, or a GOP establishment candidate (Mitt Romney?)should the GOP start playing games down the road.

America is over with the games, and that is why, in large measure, Trump is on his way to a landslide win, not only in the primary, but in November as well.

I think the Grey Champion is here.

The Candidates Debate

It sure was an interesting GOP debate the other evening in South Carolina.

After an initial coming together to express condolences over the tragic passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (perhaps the worst day for freedom loving Americans since Obamacare was passed), things got rather dicey quickly.

This was to be expected, as South Carolina has in recent cycles been where the gloves come off, and winners and loser are separated.

However, it was particularly ugly on Saturday night, with the majority of the altercations coming, not from those initially attacking front runner Donald Trump, but Trump attacking & his challengers.

Trump labeled Cruz nasty and "the single biggest liar, a real nasty guy who does not get along with any of his colleagues. In a news conference today, Trump essentially went scorched earth on Cruz.

"Ted Cruz is a totally unstable individual. He is the single biggest liar I’ve ever come across, in politics or otherwise, and I have seen some of the best of them. His statements are totally untrue and completely outrageous. It is hard to believe a person who proclaims to be a Christian could be so dishonest and lie so much".

Trump is feeling heat from Cruz, and unleashed a major attack, however, the Donald was sadly incorrect in his assertions.

I am not seeking a candidate who gets along with Congressional members who are complicit in the destruction of our nation.  Cruz called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor, and Cruz was correct in doing so in my opinion.

Given what CNN reported publicly, Cruz is also correct in the dispute with Ben Carson Trump references. CNN is not a sound news organization,  which Cruz's team should have known, but with the information out, it was not only appropriate, but a responsible and smart course of action to inform voters.  If anyone is to blame, it is Ben Carson for not making his plans known to his supporters to prevent any misconceptions.

And for the record, Cruz is also correct in his ongoing spat with Marco Rubio on immigration.

Then Trump really got going.
 
First, Jeb Bush has a much more favorable assessment of his family than most do.  Most folks think the Bush family are good people, and I certainly do.

As a Floridian, it is my opinion Jeb Bush, whom I voted for, did a great job as governor of the Sunshine State.  I gleefully voted for Bush 41 in 1988 but found his performance weak, but supported him again in 1992 against Bill Clinton.  I enthusiastically supported Bush 43 in 2000 and in 2004, and while I still consider his presidency successful and know he was far superior to his Democrat challengers, the more time went on the more disappointed I became with his administration.  However, my disagreements with 43 are minimal and my admiration for him (particularly as a man of class and honor) is strong.  It would be difficult for anyone to no consider the Bush family as a great principled family who care deeply for the United States of America.

But Trump got loose, calling not only the war with Iraq a mistake, but called George W. Bush a liar, commenting that Bush and his team had lied about weapons of mass destruction while saying under 43 "we were not safe".

After being attacked on 9-11, George W. Bush did in fact keep us safe.  Many can question the steps he took to make that happen, but we were not attacked again on our soil during his administration, unlike the Obama administration.  Argue about the Patriot Act if you please, and I will join you, but to say that Bush did not succeed in keeping America safe while prosecuting a global war on terror war is false.

As far as concluding Bush lied about the weapons of mass destruction being in Iraq, I vehemently challenge that statement as false. There were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and they were moved to Syria and are there as we speak. As I noted in a post in December of 2012:

"No longer politically expedient to admonish George W. Bush for going to war with Iraq on false assumptions of the existence of these weapons, it should come as no surprise that stories shining light on the weapons transfer from Iraq to Syria are emerging in frequency. While many reports are discussing recently discovered pathways of weapon movement from Iraq to Syria, hidden behind the discussion is the transfer during the postponement of the invasion of Iraq that France President Jacque Chirac, a dishonest broker who worked against US interests, bought. The second to none editorial page of Investors Business Daily leads the way as usual in presenting and detailing the truth. IBD, in an editorial yesterday, continues to present the facts even if few Americans are willing to absorb it".

I have always personally liked Donald Trump and admired much of his business accomplishment and while he is not my first choice for the GOP nomination, unlike many, I had felt comfortable in supporting him should he win the nomination.

I am now questioning that assessment.

Donald Trump is not an idiot, so I am sure his attacks are based on some level of methodology. However, defeating opponents on merit and on the battlefield of ideas has often been superior to berating with opponents with name calling, lies and threats.

America is some kind of pissed at the establishment of both parties, and Trump has a very unique opportunity before him.  However, while I may be wrong, his scorched earth ramblings in recent days may not only burn up his opponents, it may engulf his candidacy as well.

Disagree with their policies as you wish, but I conclude neither Ted Cruz nor George W. Bush (and I note that Bush is no fan of Cruz) are liars.  Trump; however, is starting to look as though he may be.

Or maybe this is just South Carolina as usual.

Rubio Right On Obama

Marco Rubio is getting rocked for being "robotic" and having canned commentary. The news media, even FOX News, the establishment and other candidates are trashing Rubio. Fine, but it is Senator Rubio who is correct; Obama is gleefully orchestrating the destruction of America as founded.

Nobody seems willing to attack Obama, but there is little problem going after Rubio.

An intellectual elite with a big time chip on his shoulder, through his successful efforts, President Obama is bringing his ideas on wealth transformation, open borders and social justice while diminishing America, who he deems an oppressor, down to the level of the rest of the world.

Upon completion of his term, we conclude he will seek the position of UN Secretary General, because his talents cannot be only limited to the shores of our fruited plain.  He will effort, in his mind boggling arrogance, seek to rule the world.

He is achieving many of his goals here in America.  It is most distressful to note that, like we are reading from the pages of George Orwell's Animal Farm, it appears we are actually living on the Animal Farm.  We continuously send representatives to Washington with one simple task; stop Obama.

They fail, miserably, over and over again.

Note comments made by Rush Limbaugh noting a quote he learned of from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.  "The Senate Majority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell, has just said there will be no stopping Obama's agenda, because to criticize Obama makes us look bad. What the hell is this campaign gonna be about if not that?"

With folks like this slime ball McConnell in the GOP, is it any wonder our nation is in such disrepair.

GOP front runner Donald Trump has often labeled Obama incompetent, but that is naive and stupid; also quite incorrect.  But why are Rubio, and Sen. Ted Cruz, the only candidates that will accurately portray Obama for the anti-American president he so arrogantly is?

Rush Limbaugh, The Truth Detector, knows.

Rush Limbaugh accurately stated “Rubio’s point is that “Obama’s not incompetent, he’s not inexperienced, he’s doing exactly what he wants to do and none of these Republican moderates will go there. You want to know why? You want to know why? You want to know why they cannot agree that Obama is doing this on purpose? It’s very simple. They cannot agree that Obama is doing it on purpose, they do not dare say that Obama is doing it on purpose, because they have all worked with Barack Obama.”

BAM! Take it to the bank, or in this case, the voting booth!!!

The Real Question: Why Won't Anyone But Rubio and Cruz Say Obama Is Destroying the Country on Purpose?

A Grey Choice

Jim Quinn, of the truly excellent blog The Burning Platform, quotes Franklin Delano Roosevelt from a speech in Philadelphia in June of 1936: “There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.”

It seems apparent that America is facing such an important turning point in 2016.

Quinn has written extensively in spellbinding eloquence and intellectual fortitude about The Fourth Turning, a book written by Struass & Howe in 1997 which advanced the idea of generational cycles where decisions by particular generations of individuals have life altering consequences, not only individually, but for their generation and for generations to come. Similar to the Tytler Cycle, the thought centers that life is not led on linear progression, but rather a reoccurring circle of generational trials and tribulations, that if not dealt with effectively, can significantly alter the tract moving forward.

Both the book and Quinn's works on the subject I would highly recommend you seek out and consume.

Quinn summarizes in his writings the theory of a Grey Champion, who emerges at the time of the fourth turning, a period we have recently entered as a nation. Quinn discusses it as follows:

"The world is becoming increasingly chaotic and the American people are seeking a leader who can bring order, make tough decisions, and capture the zeitgeist of this moment in history. They are in search of a prophet generation (Boomer) Grey Champion, whose arrival marks the moment of darkness, adversity and peril as the Fourth Turning careens towards its climax. The Grey Champion doesn’t necessarily have to be a good person, but they must lead and display tremendous confidence in their cause and path. Franklin, Lincoln, and FDR have many detractors, but during their Fourth Turnings, they most certainly led, casting aside obstacles (sometimes illegally) and enduring dark days and bleak prospects for success. Is there someone of that stature ready to lead the American people now?"

Apparently conservative icon Sarah Palin thinks such an individual is Donald Trump, whom she endorsed at a campaign rally late this afternoon in Ames, Iowa.

Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump
“I am greatly honored to receive Sarah’s endorsement,” Mr. Trump said in a statement trumpeting Mrs. Palin’s decision. “She is a friend, and a high-quality person whom I have great respect for. I am proud to have her support.”

In many ways, the endorsement of Trump by Palin is not surprising, but most would have thought she would have sided with the true conservative in the race, Sen. Ted Cruz. However, there is no doubt her endorsement will provide Trump a significant boost in the campaign.

Like many others, Palin feels Trump is a powerful force that will wrestle the power away from government and give it back to the people, making America great again.  She may not be wrong.

In fact, if you subscribe to the thought process of The Fourth Turning, Trump does in my mind fit the criteria of what a potential "Grey Champion" would look like.  Trump seems poised to upset the apple cart, dealing establishment politicians a heavy blow and disrupting the status quo, which as Ronald Reagan once noted, was Latin for the mess we are in.

When asked about Palin's endorsement of Trump, Cruz campaign spokesman Rick Tyler said on CNN’s New Day "I think it [would] be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion for the conservative cause, and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly, she would be endorsing someone who’s held progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, on marriage, on partial-birth abortion.”

Bristol Palin
While Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, and apparently Sarah herself, took great offense, Mr. Tyler is correct.

Although it may not be a central factor in the grand scheme of things, or as part of the emergence of a Grey Champion, Trump is not a conservative. Trump has previously supported eminent domain, bailouts, a single payer health care plan and a wealth tax.  Good grief!

Trump is so far away from conservatism, and given the potential of a Hillary Clinton presidency, which we feel would doom America as founded, we encouraged Trump in 2011 to play a real trump card and run as a Democrat to derail her.

An area which we disagree with Trump strongly on is when he often notes that our government is being run by incompetent people.  That through process is incredibly naive and dangerously incorrect.  The folks running our government, full engaged in orchestrating the transformation of America, fully understand what they are doing, and without any real push back from the GOP, have been quite successful in their endeavors.

Furthermore, Trump thinks, that with his intellect and proven success as a businessman, he can control the levels of government in a much more efficient manner, bringing America back to prosperity with the right administrator.

Except I wish to drastically reduce the levels of government, whether it is "administered" by someone whose ideas I champion or someone whose ideas I vehemently oppose.

Ben Shapiro wrote a great piece today, noting "The Palin Acid Test: Do You Care More About Conservatism Or Fighting The Establishment?"

Sarah Palin
I have been and continue to be a big fan of Sarah Palin, and this may the first time I have parted company with Palin. While I am also a fan of Donald Trump, and will gleefully support him should he win the GOP nomination, I will remain true to my principles in the primary, and like Shapiro, position myself at home with the conservatives.

However, it is worth noting, that as a subscriber to the ideas presented in The Fourth Turning, it certainly does appear Trump may be just who are nation is not only looking for, but needs.

We may not wish the Grey Champion to come again – but come he must, and come he will.” – The Fourth Turning – Strauss & Howe – 1997

Perhaps that is what Palin is seeing and feeling. Maybe I don't disagree with her after all.  The choice is Grey.

Angry Voices Must Be Heard Loud And Clear

President Obama, after promising brevity, spoke for hours praising himself for his perceived successes while a growing majority of the nation has finally caught on to the incredible failure of his administration to deliver freedom and prosperity, delivering what should be his last State of the Union address.

Without question, in his arrogance, Obama no doubt thinks the American citizenry is stupid and that all the problems facing our nation are in fact our fault.

It really is amazing, in a Nineteen Eighty Four sort of way.

Nikki Haley
R: South Carolina
Nikki Haley, Governor of South Carolina, who I have never had issue with, gave the GOP response, and it was truly eye opening. While she was eloquent and made some sound points, she also traveled in a direction that no doubt torqued the conservative wing of the party.

"We learned last night that the Republican establishment is very comfortable identifying themselves as elites and members of a club -- and that you can't get in just by being who you are and doing what you want to do as a Republican and pursuing what you believe in" said Rush Limbaugh.

It appears the GOP establishment, worried by Donald Trump and petrified of Ted Cruz, is making it's move.

As reported by Dustin Ulsterman of The Ulsterman Report, who is on top of the political spectrum like few others, "The Republican Establishment’s choice to be the next President of the United States, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, is said to have sent operatives to engage in off the books discussions with South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley last month. The meeting was the brainchild of two significant Republican donors who have indicated a strong desire to see both Rubio and Haley sharing the GOP 2016 ticket."

"This morning Governor Haley told NBC she was “open” to finding herself running as a Vice President for the 2016 Republican ticket. Interestingly, Haley also said in that very same interview she was intentionally calling out Donald Trump for what she termed, “…the siren call of the angriest voices.” Both the interview and its subject matter would indicate Mrs. Haley is happily doing the bidding of the GOP Establishment."

Once again, the GOP establishment turns it guns on those aiming to disrupt the governance of the elite ruling class with far more resolve than an anti-American president who is orchestrating the transformation of America.

It should tell you everything you need to know, and if you value America as founded, you should hit the campaign trail and voting booth with superior resolve and urgency.

Your angry voices must be heard loud and clear, while we still have freedom of speech.

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!

Media Exposed

CNBC Panel/Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick & John Harwood
CNBC hosted a GOP debate last night, and it was disgraceful.  The moderators, Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick and John Harwood, were exposed as political hacks.

CNBC used to be a respected network which brought America the financial news it sought well beyond the three major networks. Certainly, there has always been rivaling political presence among the hosts on the network, held in adequate check in years past.

But in the last half decade or so,  CNBC has turned into a biased arm of NBC News, which is no longer credible as a unbiased presenter of the truth.  There are still good people over at CNBC, most notably Bill Griffith, Sue Herera, Jim Cramer, Joe Kernen and the wonderful Larry Kudlow.   But given what America witnessed last night, and make no mistake the suits over at the network are thrilled placing a much higher value on political positions than profits or God forbid the truth, they may not have the lights on much longer.

Several former employees have made their way over to FOX Business Channel, inclusive of Neil Cavuto, Stuart Varney, Lou Dobbs,  Eric Bolling, Trish Regan, Melissa Francis and the "Money Honey", Maria Bartiromo.

Becky Quick used to be quite good, but the arrogance dripping off her blouse last night flooded the stage. Carl Quintanilla has seemingly gone the way of Tom Costello (now at NBC News), a good reporter who reached certain status and turned political.

John Harwood, a supposed new representative of parent NBC News who gleefully baths in Barack Obama's bathwater, has a long history of partisan journalism.  Harwood extended himself so far out last night, he arrogantly lied on the issue of Marco Rubio's tax plan.  I wonder how many Americans thought he may have a point no doubt missed Megyn Kelly pointing out Harwood's lie.

Jim Cramer, and animated truth teller Rick Santelli, got a few questions in an effort to stem accusations of bias, but it failed miserably to work.

Senator Ted Cruz, R:TX, had enough and called the panel out.



The comments made by Cruz received the highest register among the polling by Frank Luntz of Luntz Global since he began charting responses in 1996.

Incidentally, the second highest rating came when Sen. Marco Rubio, R:FL, labeled the mainstream media a Hillary Clinton Super PAC.



 BAM!  The truth just hit everyone across the forehead with a two by four.

The media was given special privileges to operate to keep the three branches of government in check.  As Rubio, and Cruz, pointed out last night with lethal precision, that has not bee the case in America for some time.

It is among the many reasons America is now suffering, falling significantly short of reaching her potential.  As such, these individuals who are part of the propaganda machine protecting the elected officials operating in contempt of our Constitiution should be considered enemies within.

Tracking The Traitors

A gathering in Washington today voiced public opposition to the deal with Iran the Obama administration is championing, which is against the will of the people (70% are opposed) and the majority of the House and Senate.

The speakers at this event are folks BAHL Revere thinks very highly of.  Among them were GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, former congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and Brigitte Gabriel.

Mark Levin
Mark Levin, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, hammered home the obvious regarding the deal, which will have drastic negative consequences across the globe.

“Never before has a President of the United States. Never before has a political party consented to funding and arming the enemy. Never before has a President entered into agreements with a terrorist regime that holds American hostages; that has killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers, and that seeks nuclear weapons and ICBMs (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles)  to attack his own country,” said Levin. “Barack Obama makes Neville Chamberlain look like George S. Patton,” the former Reagan staffer added. 

"The Democrat Party will have blood on their hands as a result of this deal for the rest of time. And let me be clear, this deal sows the seeds of war." Agreed.

This deal, negotiated from a position of weakness, is, as Sen. Ted Cruz said, catastrophic.  In fact, it is an orchestrated effort from within to weaken American and strengthen those who describe themselves as our enemies. The deal would make Uncle Sam a top financier of global terrorism, essentially arming those who fight against our military. Let that sink into your thoughts for a moment.



If elected president, Ted Cruz reverse the deal on day one. Donald Trump would not eliminate the deal, but would drastically restructure the deal, which he terms as crafted by very stupid people.

I stand with Senator Cruz on this one.  While Senator Cruz is well aware of the terrorists we are dealing with, Trump approaches it as a business deal.  My appreciation of Trump's abilities in deal making (I read The Art of the Deal like most everyone else) is vast; however, I do not do deals with folks who are not trustworthy, particularly with nuclear weapons.

In addition, Trump should know the folks at the top crafting this deal are not stupid; far from it. These people are enemies within, people who view America as the problem and not the solution to the problem. They loathe the citizenry, and seek centralized power over the peasants they have to deal with.  They view America as an oppressor, and seek to diminish her power through the transformation of wealth and by advancing opportunities to embolden her enemies.

This deal with Iran is such an opportunity. For Iran, it is the Deal of the Century.

Adding insult to injury, just for Obama's pleasure I am sure, the deal is to be vote on on September 11.

And as we have noted, Obama seeks to help facilitate the formation of a caliphate in the middle east, ushering in a Greater Syria, or a new Ottoman Empire, if you will. The pieces have been being placed for some time.  This would include a Muslim nation with power rivaling that of any other nation, inclusive of the United States.  ISIS is doing the cleansing, and Obama is not too concerned about that, evidenced by his putrid effort to stop the unspeakable violence and chaos these murderers are engaged in.  It is noted Obama even allowed them to seize a large amount of our equipment, in the form of tanks, missile launchers and Humvees, inexplicably left in the region.



Glenn Beck has noted that we are at a crossroads. President Obama has chosen to stand with evil in Iran, against Israel, and against the will of the citizenry he governs.

The United States was placed in great peril with this deal, and future citizens will die due to this utterly despicable and irresponsible act by a brazen president acting outside or historical avenues of legislation. The Congress, which has allowed his reckless behavior, should also bear responsibility, and that certainly includes Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to act is to act. Not to speak, is to speak"---Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Along with thousands of folks in DC today in spirit, I have spoken.

Disciples of Death

Over the last several weeks, there have been a series of videos released describing in no uncertain terms the activities underway at Planned Parenthood.  Unless you have been under a rock, you have seen them. Or maybe not, as you were unable to stomach the content.

These undercover videos, presented by the Center for Medical Progress, inform the public of the grotesque and appalling activities of Planned Parenthood, which takes on added significance given of the sad reality our taxpayer dollars are funding these insidious actions. The Alliance Defending Freedom has more.

One can perhaps argue that, although it is logical birth begins at inception, while a collection of cells is engaged performance of an abortion is not murder.  However, at the time these abortions are performed, it is unquestionably murder, as if there was no baby, there would be no parts to sell.

No matter where you fall on the debate of abortion, I hope we can agree this despicable action is sickening and horrifying; and evil.  The folks performing these activities, some with a cavalier attitude buoyed by arrogance, will rot in hell.

I am incensed our government is funding the murder of the unborn with my tax dollars. Given these videos, which document the commerce of selling baby body parts of aborted children, our political leaders can no longer say they were unaware of what taxpayers dollars are funding.

Sen. Mitch McConnell
A Bill to Defund Planned Parenthood was blocked by the Senate this past week, as Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said it was not the proper time to do it.  I would like to ask the Senator when the appropriate time might be? When would be a good to stop giving money to an organization the murders unborn children and brokers their body parts for profit?

Sen. Ted Cruz, R:TX, has sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky,early next week urging him not to schedule a vote on legislation that continues to fund Planned Parenthood. “In light of recent and horrific revelations that Planned Parenthood is trafficking in fetal tissue and body parts from abortions, we urge you not to schedule or facilitate the consideration of any legislation that authorizes or appropriates federal dollars for Planned Parenthood."

Actually, Sen. McConnell, the time is now.  And, not withstanding a truckload of other reasons, due to your inexplicable action on this issue, I am calling for your resignation.  Your lack of leadership, equaled in large measure by your House counterpart John Boehner, has significantly contributed to the demise of our nation. In no way, shape or form do either of you RHINO's represent your constituents.  We sent both of you to the leadership by voting in GOP members who promised to stop the transformation enacted by President Obama.. Most of them have failed miserably, and for those who continue to fight you, they have faced punitive retribution for siding against you.

I am against you both, and will work to end your tenure as representatives of the GOP.

The defunding of Planned Parenthood is a noteworthy example of decisions on your behalf that go against GOP principles, and are of assistance to the objectives of the left and President Obama.  While we will exercise our legal options in terminating your elected status, there will be en eternal price to pay for, given an opportunity to stand for life over death, you took death.

Those who support Planned Parenthood, given the knowledge we now have, can only be accurately described as disciples of death.  May God have mercy on you.

GOP Debate Update

The main event GOP presidential candidates debate took place in Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, OH, and it did not disappoint; highlighting the fine field of top candidates there are to choose from.

The under-card GOP debate winner was Carly Fiorina, who continues to impress, exhibiting broad knowledge of the issues. Particularly astute of her was to note the movement of money within the global financial system. Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry round out our final four first round performance, although it would seem Perry was in need of a stronger performance to leave his misfortunes in 2012 behind him.













The main event featured a very impressive field. For the GOP debate on this evening, Dr. Ben Carson was the winner. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee round out the final four in first round performance.

Jeb Bush seemed to get caught in a lie on the issue of Common Core, but otherwise did no harm. John Kasich looked good to the viewers and Scott Walker was steady as she goes successfully navigating away from any potentially rough seas.















Nobody blew up, but it appears Rand Paul and Donald Trump failed to gain any ground while others did.

Chris Christie and Rand Paul got in quite a dust up over surveillance.  Each candidate has a long list of support for their position, and while I am on the opposite side of many folks I generally am in agreement with, including of note Kimberly Guilfoyle, I stand with Rand Paul on this topic.

FOX News was horrible and clearly aimed to diminish Trump.  Megan Kelly, whom I generally think highly of, was way off base in some questioning of Donald Trump and she seems to be paying quite a price for her odd and suspicious line of questioning of Trump.  Among those who are hammering her is The Great One, Mark Levin.

It should be clearly noted that these GOP debates were inclusive of some very fine candidates, each having a long list of impressive credentials, and any candidate on the either stage on this opening evening of debates would be far superior to anyone the Democrats have to offer.

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.
