LOSERS TRY TO OUT DO AND OUT WIT TRUMP WITH LITTLE SUCCESS

President Donald Trump has been in office for a little over a month and already his enemies are calling for his impeachment! On what grounds nobody seems to know but none the less they want him out of office.

What is interesting is Trump has accomplished more positive legislation in these first few weeks than Barack Obama did for his entire eight years in office. How did this happen? The answer is glaring; he is keeping his campaign promises.

And perhaps this is what frustrates his opponents. As a consequence folks like Sen. Chuck Schumer, Congresswomen Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and every other liberal Democrat in office don’t seem to have a clue as to what to do about this maverick now holding the office of President of the United States. As for reasons for impeachment is concerned there is nothing for them to hang their hat on.

What is more disappointing are the number of senators and congressmen in the Republican Party who are also on board for the removal of Trump. The prime movers include Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain. Both suffered defeat at the hands of Trump during the presidential candidate debates. Even though McCain wasn’t running for the nomination he was scored by the new President over his capture by the North Vietnamese during the conflict.

During the presidential campaign Trump made the comment that he didn’t care for those who were captured in combat. In fairness this was a cheap shot since an airman flying a jet over enemy territory littered with anti-aircraft rockets had little chance of getting away unscratched. In McCain’s situation he was blasted out of the sky by one of these rockets and was captured. But that isn’t all; Landing he suffered a broken leg and arm. Unable to avoid the enemy he was caught, tortured and thrown into what came to be known as the Hanoi Hilton.

Once he was confined he underwent constant beatings at the hands of the enemy. His wounds were neglected and to this day he suffers pain. When the Vietnamese found out that he was the son of a famous admiral they offered him an early release. McCain however rejected the offer and remained a prisoner until the end of the war.

Many call McCain a hero but this isn’t necessarily the case. Rather than being a hero his true mark is of courage. It took courage to endure what he went through and in comparison to the title of hero his courage outdistances such an honor.

Courage supersedes heroism.

So in fairness to McCain Trump’s accusation was uncalled for.

The President’s mistake can be understood but in honesty he should have retracted the statement.

But what about McCain? He has every right to be offended but again he should call on his courage to put the slur behind him and work in the best interest of the country. However, here his courage fails him. Rather than put the comments behind him—which he is capable of doing, he now takes it upon himself to do battle with Trump.

As a result he joins the group of miscreants who prefer to grovel in their hurt feelings. For Graham and McCain this is their personal vice. For the Democrats it is much more. For them it is loss of power and control.

The liberal agenda is the road to destruction. For all of the years of their influence as “leaders” they have taken the United States down the road of moral poverty, economic depression, loss of military leadership and increase of government dependence and much more.

Liberals claim that “freedom” is under attack by Trump and his policies when in actuality it is the opposite. In his first month as President he has accomplished more good for the American people than Barack Obama did in his entire time in office. To combat this liberal democrats along with RINO’S (Republican in Name Only) continue to try to discredit Trump. But they might as well be spitting into the wind!

Orchestrated tactics by demonstrators, riots and intimidation, closing interstate highways seems all the left has. The result is the American people are quickly becoming fed up with the histrionics of flag burning, window breaking anarchists.

Apparently those in congress who want to unseat Trump haven’t learned their lesson. Their attempts such as linking Trump to Russia is ludicrous. Their cries for impeachment they claim, is because Russia allegedly hacked the Democrats emails at Trump’s behest. This is nonsense and doesn’t hold water. What they hang their accusation on is when, on national television, Trump made a facetious remark that perhaps the Russian’s could find the 33,000 emails Hilary Clinton erased!

On second thought maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad idea after all!

If anyone thinks Donald Trump is going to roll over and resign or be kicked out of office they need to visit a good head doctor. Trump’s ratings continue to climb and when he is through getting his policies enacted then America will be well on the road of being great again. Next on the must-do list is a program to cut taxes, replace Obama Care and get American industry working again. These things are scheduled to be enacted within the first 300 days of his administration. However there is one big problem; Sen. Chuck Schuler’s continuous obstruction, interference and control of the Democrats holding office is intentionally designed to delay any favorable progress proposed by the Trump administration. Just look at the Democratic stalls in confirming the President’s cabinet. All of this is intended to hamper anything the President wants to enact.

The result is this; who are the true patriots? Those who care what is in the best of the American people or the professional politicians who don’t want to see their cushy jobs replaced by real statesmen? The way it is working out the money is on Trump!

NOW THE JOB BEGINS

          Even now that Donald John Trump has officially taken office as the 45th President of the United States the country continues to be torn between supporters and discontents. Mobs in the thousands continue to march hoisting banners of protest about the newly elected President espousing everything from so called women rights, calling Trump a “fascist,” and promoting homosexual inclusion in all forms. All of this registers under the name of Progressiveness. They used to be known as “liberals.”

But many go farther in their demonstration’s—they prefer to smash windows, beat people and destroy property. These folks are known as anarchists! All of those who can’t accept that the election is over and Trump is truly the country’s new president means little to them and nothing can be accomplished as far as national unity is concerned.

            And this behavior is a first. Nothing like this demonic uprising has ever occurred before at this large of scale. And for what reason?

            This isn’t the first time in our nation’s history when an unpopular person was elected to the nation’s highest political office. But once the election was over the American people unified and got behind the new man in office with the hope he would be successful. But not this time. Instead mobs of disappointed malcontents have taken to the streets infringing on the rights of others.

            Those protesting claim their activity is an expression of “freedom.” The question is whose “freedom?” The true expression of freedom also requires an equal amount of responsibility to go along with it. That responsibility means adhering to the laws of the land in all respects.

            This behavior is new to our times. In the past there was an expression of civility between the winner and loser. Regardless who won the campaign a solid promise of cooperation existed between the two. Unfortunately that ideal also seems to be discarded to the bin of history.

            What is so baffling is how did all of this happen?

            It was in the early 1960’s during the John F. Kennedy administration that the United States got involved in the Vietnam problem. The communists were making inroads and battling against the Diem government for control of the nation. Kennedy was ready to come to the rescue of the Vietnamese government by sending in the Green Berets Army units to act as “advisors.”

            Following Kennedy’s assassination Vice President Linden Johnson took over and the war escalated to the point that a full-blown war blossomed. As the action escalated more and more young men were drafted into military service with the result of thousands of American deaths. The result was the loss of American support for the war. College campuses became sites of protests against the war. One horrific incident occurred at Kent State University where army personnel opened fire killing one of the protesters and injuring many others. This set the tone for things to come.

            Since that time mob mentality has grown. With no foundation as far as civic pride of country or sense of responsibility is concerned there are no longer restraints. Much of this blame can be placed on our educational system. Subjects, as civics is no longer taught. However the philosophy of an independent teacher is fair game. And if they (for the most part) have liberal leanings you can best be assured that will be unintentional or unintentionally passed on. And as the majority of instructors today seem to harbor “progressive” ideas students can’t help but be influenced. Subjective thinking now seems to replace objective thought.

            With the adoption of the Department of Education, thanks to former president George W. Bush, and the flaunted idea “leave no child behind,” teaching took a nose dive! Common core became the rule of enlightenment. The result has been described as “disastrous” by many in the academic community.

Coupled with poor quality of education and no sense of history, philosophy or civics it is no wonder the country finds it in such a strange land we now face. With no restrictions or belief in law anyone with a personal belief as to what they want to do or believe—even if such ideas or action are contrary to establish rule, now seems allowable.

            The result of such actions manifests the mob mentality. What those who engage in such behavior seem to forget, or wish to simply ignore, their responsibility to good citizenship. Rather than to come together politicians as Senator Charles “Chuck” Schumer, (D-NY), Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, (D-CA), and even Senator John McCain, (R-AZ), and Senator Patty Murray, (WA), all fail the test of statesmanship. Politics be-damned; the nations needs should come first and apparently Donald Trump, contrary of the progressive politicians, believes this is the tract that he must follow.
