Why Pro Trump

When Trump announced his presidential run, I was skeptical. His character seemed questionable, and his pro-choice stance typically would have been enough to make me oppose him.

As I examined the candidates’ positions, my perspective gradually shifted. His resolute approach to border security particularly resonated with me, aligning closely with my own views. Among the contenders, only he and one other candidate shared my stance. Though Senator Cruz remained my preference, especially regarding his pro-life position, I found myself increasingly drawn to the alternative candidate’s platform.

Reflecting on Trump’s account of his personal experience, I found his explanation initially convincing, yet lingering skepticism persisted. His past behavior and language further undermined my trust. In retrospect, I often contemplate whether Ted Cruz might have been a more suitable presidential candidate. Ultimately, the full truth remains elusive, and we may never fully know.

In the face of a polarizing election, my initial choice felt stripped away. Confronted with Trump, a relatively unknown quantity, and Clinton, whose public persona was exhaustively familiar, I felt politically cornered. As the campaign unfolded, my perspective subtly shifted. Trump’s candidacy began to resonate more strongly, while the alternative grew less appealing. Though momentarily tempted to protest by writing in my own name, I ultimately found myself gravitating toward a clearer electoral stance.

During the election, I found myself strongly aligned with Trump’s rhetoric, yet I harbored deep reservations about his character and credibility.

Throughout my years of observation, I’ve consistently maintained that individuals advocating for pro-life positions tend to demonstrate greater authenticity and moral courage. In today’s complex social landscape, embracing a pro-choice stance has become a convenient and socially acceptable narrative, which I characterize as fundamentally endorsing a culture of termination. The genuine commitment to protecting innocent life requires a deeper ethical stance and personal conviction.

Trump’s unwavering commitment to the pro-life movement demonstrated a principled position that demanded respect. His apparent sincerity on this issue suggested a deeper integrity that could potentially extend to other aspects of his political platform. By taking a clear and potentially unpopular stance, he showed a willingness to stand by his convictions, which was noteworthy in the complex landscape of all the political discourse.

Looking back, it was clearly true. No other modern president can claim such close adherence to his promises. While he couldn’t completely follow them all, it is not for lack of effort, even to the point of pushing the Constitution to the very edge. Also, this was not without opposition, even from Republicans. Might I remind one and all of the number one rino giving the thumbs-down during the effort to withdraw Obama Care. (I was never a fan Sen. McCain, who was the only Republican member of the Keating five & should have gone to jail)

President Trump is the only modern day president who enforced immigration laws, which were already on the books. He did this though there are even Republicans who opposed his actions. This likely was one of the main reasons he was elected. The Republicans only paid lip service to it and the democrats openly refused to enforce those legal laws. During the primary, he and Cruz were the only two that spoke of enforcing the law. All the rest of the Republican candidates got all mushy mouthed when asked about it.

Trump is constantly referred to as Hitler, this in light of all he has done for Israelis. No other president, whether he have a R or D after his name has hired more women in higher positions. No other president, except maybe Reagan & Kennedy, has done more to help our economy. Few have hurt in all of these categories as Old Joe. (For this reason Old Joe does not deserve to be called president, or even by his last name. Better to forget it completely)

President Trump has made a believer out of me.

Country Clubbers, as Bad for the Economy as Democrats

Rush Limbaugh frequently critiqued the affluent, establishment-oriented wing of the Republican Party, referring to them as the “country club segment.” Many Republicans likely dismissed his characterization without fully comprehending its deeper implications. Moreover, they seem unaware of the significant and potentially detrimental impact their political and economic approaches could have on the broader national landscape, particularly in terms of financial policy and societal economic dynamics.

One of the big reasons we had problems stopping illegal immigration is because the illegal aliens drive the wages down drastically. I hope I don’t need to explain why that is so beneficial to rich Republicans; as well as rich Democrats too. Naturally, many of the rich Republicans had as much of a desire to open the borders as the Dems did.

Though I don’t know the reason, this group also seemed to be in favor of making the killing of unborn children legal. My best guess is that they didn’t want to lose elections and their power.

Donald Trump’s political rise disrupted traditional Republican Party dynamics, challenging the established country club elite by appealing directly to a broader base of supporters. His unconventional campaign and messaging resonated with voters beyond the typical Republican establishment, potentially attracting disillusioned Democrats and working-class constituents who felt overlooked by mainstream political figures. Trump’s ability to connect with a diverse range of voters fundamentally transformed the Republican Party’s, especially those who wanted to stop illegal immigration as well as the traditional power structure and electoral strategy.

As you might have noted, many of those country club crowd have left the Republican Party and began opposing the Republican Party and Trump. No one told me why but I think I have a good guess. You will likely have a good guess too when you realize the drastic decrease in inexpensive illegal labor.

Contradictions of the Liberals

Several years ago, I wrote a post about people being let across the border. You might think it was during the early years of Trump’s presidency, but it was earlier. Actually, I was speaking out against open borders even before Trump decided to run for president.

During the presidential campaign, the border policy debate revealed a surprising consensus among candidates. While Democrats generally supported more open immigration, many Republican contenders also showed varying degrees of support for less restrictive border policies. In the early stages of Trump’s initial campaign, Senator Ted Cruz stood out as a notable exception, consistently advocating for stricter border control. His principled stance resonated with voters who prioritized immigration enforcement. For this voter, Cruz and Trump were the only candidates worthy of support. I would have abstained from voting any others at all.

Apparently, I wasn’t the only one with that view. Near the last of that primary, Cruz was the only one who gave Trump any competition at all. The rest dropped out. Still, there were Republicans who continued to give Trump grief over illegal aliens, fighting for them from the “humanity” concept. However, to them, humanity had little or nothing to do with it. They wanted the lower illegal wages. It contradicted with the fighting by both the Democrats and the liberal Republican concept of minimum wages. To be sure, hiring illegal aliens is the easiest way around minimum wages. Those who ran hotels and restaurants commonly hired illegal aliens at a fraction of the minimum wage, a financial advantage for businesses (rino Republicans) To some degree, this is still true. The dems fight to keep wages down by encouraging illegal immigration while at the same time, fighting for ridiculously high minimum wages. This has two results. It squeezes rightful American citizens out of the job market while permitting the rich to hire low cost labor.

I very strongly disagree with minimum wages and allowing the employment of illegal aliens. I can at least understand it, as selfish and wrong as it it is. However, lately the liberals have started another contradiction. They fight to require vaccination, especially in schools while continuing to fight to allow diseased and infections aliens across the border without even checking for any disease such as AIDS, measles, TB, etc, etc, and so forth.

I have no clue why we haven’t had breakouts of various diseases when President Biden opened the borders and invited one and all with a public speech. And now, the pro vaccine people complain about a few cases of measles and say nothing of the disease infested flooding over the border. We should count ourselves fortunate that we haven’t had an outbreak of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis. Or, perhaps something worse. We have dealt with measles, smallpox, and many other outbreaks throughout US history. When the border was opened, I had both concerns and curiosity about what diseases might have been permitted entry. Perhaps even a disease not yet seen inside our border.

To be sure, contradiction is the way of the Democrats. If you keep your eyes open, you’ll see them. Then again, there is none so blind as those who refuse to see, even that which is obvious.

In the What if Department

Maybe, perhaps, conceivably I should start writing posts again and specialize in the strictly odd or unusual. At the current rate, that would be about one a week.

So here am I thinking the thing is settled. The thing is I keep hearing this what if thing. Silly me. I kept saying, “Not going to happen. It’s done. It’s settled. There is simply no way that they will bring that criminal by the name of Garcia back to the US.

Color me stupid. Color me wrong. The what if actually happened, you know that impossible one. So now I must consider the highly improbability of the what if.

Already we know part of it. He has a ton of indictments hung about his neck. Looks like he will go on trial, which may go on forever and a day. You know how good these lawyers are these days. One thing and the other, it could be this time next year before the trial starts.

Those barristers will love that being as they change by the hour. Altogether, the trial will cost two and a half bundles. We all know the value of just one bundle. By the way, he will also get housed and fed all this time as well. That means at least one more bundle.

Now we must consider another separation in the pathway. What if he is convicted. Well, he will go to prison, ironically in more comfort than if he found not guilty. If found not guilty, he would immediately be deported to El Salvador, where he was.

Now tell me what is more unusual than a person hoping to be found guilty and perhaps even plead for a lifetime sentence.

Better than going back to his compadres down south. I am sure they would rather be in whatever prison Garcia would go to.

The Plans

When the dems lost the first election to Trump, they started making plans.

Plan A. Try to reverse the election, something they accused Trump of four years later.

Plan B. Impeach Trump. They used a number of false accusations and false documents as well as a ton of lies. Remember Russia, Russia, Russia, which is now a proven hoax started by Ms. Clinton and her friends in the FBI and intelligence agencies. This had one huge hole in it. Even if it succeeded, Pence would have done well, though I suspect he would not have done nearly as well with the border.

Plan C. Same as Plan B with a slight variation. This plan really fell apart after the last election. It resulted in a huge black mark against Old Joe, the FBI and all the dems. Everyone now knows now that it was another contrived plot, likely instigated in the planning rooms of the dems. Some of those in the crowd we now know to be FBI resources, likely the real instigators.

Plan D. Initiate one prosecution case after the next. Oh, and by the way, this absolutely included the high priority search of Mrs. Trumps underwear drawer. One by one, all of these cases fell apart as they were never on solid ground to begin with. I am sure the one conviction will be overturned when it reaches the Supreme Court… Or perhaps before. Of all the cases, it had the least real foundation.

Plan E. Well, I think they are still working on this one. Meanwhile, the party is in a shambles as well as their publicly department, also known as the main media. Meanwhile, the world has suffered a major pandemic originated by Fauci and enhanced by the dems and social media. Old Joe engineered a disaster while retreating from Afghanistan. As if that is not enough, two new major conflicts as a result of Old Joe’s foreign policies, specifically his funding of Russia and Iran. Oh yes, let’s not forget the embolding of China. After all that…. Well, not many will be able to come up with something that’s workable. However, I have confidence in them. Someone will come along and suggest just the right deceit, an outlandish enough lie with just the right idealism and half the voters in the country will fall for it. Of course there will be an element of truth in it, just enough to sell it. After all, it is the way Satan has worked since the Garden of Eden.

Unseemly?

I saw the interview of Trump by Kristen Welker this morning on CBS. I noticed she liked to answer the question many times before asking it. To me that seems unseemly, or improper, if you will. To keep the post reasonably short, I will give one example, though I could give at least a dozen.

She could have just asked, “Are you going to insist that you really won the 2020 election?” Instead, she said something to the effect, Everyone knows you lost the 2020 election, so are you going to admit that you lost the 2020 election to help unite the country?

Though it was a horribly biased and badly biased question, Trump came up with an excellent reply. The country is divided now and who’s the president now. I think Welker realized Trump got the better of her there, but I must admit, she went right back to her question, though she must have realized that Trump got the better of her on that question. It reminds me of the adage that a lawyer should never ask the witness the question if he knows not the answer.

Nonetheless, she couldn’t leave it alone when she asked, if the dems won the 2020 election by cheating, why didn’t they win the 2024 election by cheating?

Trump casually replied, “Because I won by too much.”

To some degree, I believe that is true. However, let me add 2 more things to the mix. Even with over a billion dollars, Kamala was unable to purchase the election, regardless of the method. Might I also add that the media, like Welker, like TV and radio stations provided more campaigning in kind in favor of Kamala; this without conscience. Trump still won the electoral college and the popular vote.

As a parting note, that must have really irked the dems. No one of them were able to use that saying they have used in the last 3 elections the Republicans won. Back then, you could hardly turn on a TV without hearing that complaint that they should do away with the unfair electoral college. Strange you don’t much hear a word about Trump winning both ways. Do I detect a little embarrassment? Just maybe there was a mass embarrassment there, I mean, as I said, they don’t like to mention it. If they do like to talk about it, why haven’t I heard one liberal member of the media say a thing about it.

I think the instructions have been distributed, “Do not mention the electoral college. Don’t even hint about the popular vote.”

2014 to 2024 Inclusive

I wish everyone would note that Old Joe pardoned his son, Hunter, for all federal, possibly all crimes from the beginning of 2014 through 2024. That includes a few future weeks yet.

I included the term all crimes because some believe that it includes state crimes as well as federal. Now, I don’t know about you, but I don’t know how many crimes Hunter was guilty of, let alone what he might be guilty of in the future. Truth is, I don’t know as Old Joe does.

One thing I do know. Joe hasn’t a clue what crimes Hunter is going to commit between now and the end of year. Perhaps he plans on robbing a bank or two. Near as I can tell, he is already pardoned for any such thing. Wonder if he thought of that. Fact is, once a pardon is granted, there is no “oops” function. If Hunter does something or somethings between now and the end of the year, Old Joe cannot take back the pardon or any part of it. I would say that might be embarrassing for Old Joe, but I don’t think it is possible to embarrassing the man.

To be sure, some have suspicions as to whether the pardon is legal. can a person be pardoned for future crimes? For that matter, can a pardon be issued for such a broad band of crimes, even those unknown?

Finally, and most important, the pardon has effectively put a stop to all investigations, including the ones concerning Old Joe. Effectively, Old Joe has pardoned himself without actually issuing the pardon.

How-some-ever, it does make me wonder if they can still investigate Hunter. Just because he can’t be prosecuted does not mean he can’t be required be a witness as any citizen in the prosecution of others. Moreover, he now cannot claim the fifth and he can still be prosecuted for false testimony after Jan 1, 2025. Hunter just might want to keep that lawyer handy.

Revisiting the CEO Principle

I can’t remember how long ago it was, but many years ago, I posted what I call the CEO principle. Some might actually remember it. I suspect most have not read it. For that reason, I will briefly review it.

You know when you go to the store and buy that gizmo wrapped in that really wonderful bubble wrap. When you get home, you go to work in the effort to remove the blister wrap. I’ve got to believe that they spent a lot of time and money engineering how to enclose those wonderful gizmos in that wrap. Invariably, one thing you must remember, never use a knife to remove the wrap. First, it is not very effective. Second, you might actually hurt yourself. I have no idea how much validity there is to it but I have heard of people cutting off a finger while trying to break into the things.

I really doubt that, but I can believe that some have cut themselves pretty good. So, if you are going to use a knife, be sure to have plenty of bandages. It might also be a good idea to have someone around to apply the bandages. Make sure whoever it is, is not so squeamish.

Now, what does this all have to do with my CEO principle? Simple. If the CEO of the company that makes those wonderful gizmos actually used the product, off the shelf, they would not be wrapped as they are.

I get it. I know why they do it that way. There are thieves out there that will steal the gizmos by the dozens. The blister wrap is something of an antitheft system, to make sure that the product is complete when you get it home.

The principle not only applies to the way that it is wrapped, but also how they are made. Did you ever try to put one of those pieces of furniture together with those “Easy instructions?” Yep. You know exactly what I mean, that is, unless you are one of those who can afford to have the furniture delivered completely assimbled.

My electric lawn more almost escaped the CEO principle. It is real nice and works good. Not only that, it is easy to use. However, I almost have to use a prybar to remove the charged battery from the charger. No way does the CEO have to do that. He has someone else do it. Well, that is not totally fair. I bought it 5 years ago. They might have fixed it by now, though I hold out little hope. The battery slides in and out of the mower easy. Why not the charger?

I’m sure by now, you get the idea. There is no purpose to go on, though I could for a long time. The reason that I am revisiting the post is that I realize it also applies to the government. Let’s face it. When Obama had that Obama care thing written up, he knew he would not ever need to use it. He knew his family would never need it, very likely to the 3rd and 4th generation. He knew that, when he or his family needs to see a doctor, they will be able to go to the doctor he wants to and he will not have to go on the internet and sign up for one of the plans. He will never have to pay a doctor, lab or hospital bill, EVER.

However, It does not stop there. All those idiots that call themselves democrats and voted for Obama care knew they would never have to deal with it as we do. I know that because the bill was originally written so that they would have all have to go through the same stuff. Then, suddenly, before it was passed, they found out and that was changed. So, it would appear that what is good for us is not good enough for them or theirs.

That is to say, they need not concern themselves with most of the stuff they force down our throats. Is there anyone out there that actually believes that the senators and representatives ever had to put up with all the stuff we did during the pandemic? Do you believe their kids have to take the shots before they can go to school? It is sort of the way things are done in government. The laws are intended for us, not them.

It does go beyond that. Nowadays, the laws do not apply to the dems, only the republicans. Moreover, they have lots of help from the media. There is not one law that they and their minions can’t break. On the other hand, if a republican walks within a mile of the Capitol building, he is picked up and thrown in prison. Then, by the way, he is denied a lawyer or speedy trial. Many of those that were imprisoned four years ago remain imprisoned, uncharged and without lawyers.

Worse yet, a republican need not do anything wrong to feel the sting of the dems and their media. If a man being nominated for a cabinet post is targeted, they simply dream up something from decades ago, so as to make it difficult to disprove. Never mind, true or not. He is indicted by the press and that is more than enough.

One thing I know about the CEO principle. Private or government, complaints are useless. I know. I tried. I don’t think I was the only one either. And… by the way… in case you haven’t noticed, I am still complaining, for what little good it does.

Consider, how the Keating five got off Scott free, though they were all guilty of banking corruption. They were never even charged. Google it, Keating Five scandal. Four dems and Senator John McCain were caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar and they all should have gone to prison. Instead, they did away with Savings and Loan system, forcing us to go to banks for our loans.

Moreover, if they had all been Republicans, they would have all gone to jail.

Listening and Talking

In a general since, people have been suggesting the reason the dems lost the presidency as well as so many other races is because they didn’t listen to the voters. Certainly, I must agree with them, but it doesn’t stop there.

To a major degree they didn’t even speak to the voters. Kamala especially refused to say anything that she would do. Then on the other hand, had she said what she planned to do, I suspect it would come out even worse for it.

Also, they came out with instructions. They told the Blacks and the Hispanic that they better vote democrat. They told the union workers to vote democrat. Moreover, they were trying to tell everyone what to think, what to send in messages and such. They said, you better watch what you say or we will come after you.

Maybe Black people were tired of voting democrat and yet being treated as step-children. Maybe the union people were tire of voting democrat and seeing all their high paying jobs find their way into Mexico & China. Maybe they were starting to say among themselves we don’t need that anymore.

On a somewhat related note: Many say that Kamala would have done much better had she had 150 days to run her campaign. Actually, it was quite the opposite. Every day of the campaign Kamala’s numbers went down. Had she had 50 more days, she would have done far worse. It would have given the voters more time to realize just how bad of a president she would make. Where this would be most notable would have been in early in voting. Had people who voted early the first chance the got, they would have had a better look at Kamala. They might have even voted for Trump.

On the other hand, if it was 50 days less, Kamala might have benefited from not being so well known.

The Release of Jack Smith’s Brief

It was not appropriate. First, what happens in a grand jury is secret. It is never supposed to be released unless it is the result of a grand jury investigation. There is a reason for this. In general, the accused never has a chance to defend itself, although the brief is often accepted as accurate fact. It is so to speak, only one side of the story. People who are accused by a grand jury are frequently found innocent. Indeed, once the other side of the story is heard, the case is frequently dropped before getting to court.

Schiff said it was appropriate to release the brief. Then again, he has a record of saying that there was collusion between Trump and Russia and he had proof of it. We now know he never had proof. When asked to produce it, he didn’t. I assure you, he hates Trump so much that if he had the proof, he would have produced it and he didn’t. because the proof was that there was never collusion. I wouldn’t believe the man if he was telling me the time of day. When a person has a long record of lying, we can only assume that when he speaks, he is likely lying.

Consider, someone says that you held up a bank and it went before a grand jury. You would likely never know it. If the grand jury is acting properly, they look at the evidence and see you did not hold up the bank and return a “no bill.” As a result, your life is never interrupted and your good name is not soiled. That is the way a grand jury is supposed to work.

Those on the grand jury are sworn to secrecy, which prevents the prosecutor or anyone on the grand jury from ruining your reputation. Now, that grand jury accusations are in public and Trump was never given the chance to build a defense. It is not the way our justice system is supposed to work. It is not the way you’d want it used on you. At the very least, it should have been accompanied with a statement that it is only an accusation that has yet to be proved.

Moreover, and more important, those that have heard or read the brief should realize that any and all all the statements in the brief have yet to be proved and they should not be accredited as fact.

Finally, any and all statements made by anyone based on that brief should not be treated as fact until, if and when they are proved. Hence, in the news media who use the brief as fact should be utterly disregarded as a legitimate source of reliable news.
