Silent Majority

Every election is never won by the Democrats or Republican. The silent majority in the middle will decide who represents the country.  The people decide the culture of government in a democratic society. When government attempts to decide the culture of the people you have tyranny. The obvious protection is The US Constitution and The Bill of Rights.      Some people will split ticket vote, casting ballots for all party affiliations. Ardent hard line party people vote straight ticket partisan voting. These people for the most part are candidates or wanna be candidates and special interest private sector voters who wish for unfair legislation in their favor. Unfortunately this condition carries predominately into all government. There has been an undeniable attack ongoing against our President that began during his campaign for election. The issues occurring in 2016 are now being the centerpiece of a criminal investigation in progress  by Attorney General Bill Barr. Remembering back to November 2016 the polls reported by the media favored Hillary Clinton by wide margins. Reports were everywhere the Russians were meddling in our elections. President Obama was aware of Russian Activities and slapped the hands of Putin in a similar manner as his administration sat on their bureaucratic butts while the Russians shot down civilian aircraft and invaded Crimea. Crimea then was held by the Ukraine. No real explanation from the Obama in his last days of lame duck. Hillary was ahead in the polls and the administration was on the Down Lo.  There is strong evidence the FBI obtained illegal F.I.S.A. Warrants to spy on the Trump Campaign. Very similar to Watergate. The difference being No Such F.I.S.A. Warrants were legal until 1978 . The crimes are virtually the same, the investigation are different with the 2016 focus are now on the FBI and F.IS.A. Courts. The 2016 FBI investigations resulted in the conviction of people in the Trump Campaign BUT, for crimes committed in 2006 . In the case of Carter Page they yielded nothing as Pages Civil Rights were needlessly trampled several times over many years. Conversely, many people at the FBI were fired for their part in Attacking the Trump Campaign. Even the Muller Report Found NO Evidence against Trump. In stark comparison to President Obama and President Trump is Ukraine and how it should be handled. Nobody can dispute the difficulty confronted by every President and even the worst President would be considered exceptional in comparison to the average guy. A tough job indeed.. We the People are being saturated with partisan facts from the Democratic Party under their control is the US House of Representatives. The lists of wrongs supported by these people are undeniable. Wrong Hillary would win the election. Wrong about the Mueller Reports. Further lies from the Democrats that evidence against the President was forthcoming and Representative from Beverly Hills California Adam Schiff had actually seen the incriminating evidence. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also from California responds to all charges like a shell shocked war victim who is not capable of controlling her party much less the Speaker Duties. This is a very long dissertation on information spread over many years. The reason is simple, the attack on President Trump is an attack on the US Constitution and the Executive Branch. The truth here is the objections coming from the Democrats  are Bribery, Obstruction, Collusion and Quid Pro Quo. What they describe as impeachable are actually the President carrying out his Oath of Office. The President has the rights to make treaties with foreign powers, The President has the right to investigate corruption. It's his job!! Also the charges in the Impeachment Inquiry are biased as the witnesses called. Not attacking Bill Taylor, George Kent or Yavonavitch. All of the witnesses are good Americans without prejudice towards the President. However they will only respond to the questions asked which paints an entirely different truth. The result of Chairman Schiff in complete control of both witness and questions acceptable to the Chairman. The outcome can only be  a Adam Schiff truth. Make no mistake about it OUR US Constitution is being tested as two branches of government go head to head. What is clear to me is the answer to the House Impeachment Inquiry will not be justified until all the facts are known. Not starting in the middle and jumping around cherry picking facts. Adam Schiff and Shell Shocked Pelosi are wrong again. Not because Trump is innocent, they are wrong because they refuse to start at the beginning. Before 2016 and how we got to where we are now.  Let's call it the WHOLE TRUTH...The Attorney Generals Ongoing Criminal Investigation must be completed before we can assess the actions of the President. These events are tied together as one.  Or as I began with ,The Government deciding the culture of the PEOPLE IS TYRANNY.... Stop it NOW Schiff!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Trails Tom

STRESS

Stress is defined as the resistance required to choke the daylights out of someone who desperately needs the adjustment. So goes the House Inquiry Impeachment of Donald Trump chaired by Adam Shifty Schiff. The Kangaroo Rodeo continues at great costs to the taxpayer. Two statements standout from the fiasco at the House were: First the statement made by Adam Schiff "he did not know the identity of the Whisleblower". Obvious lie that is condescending to even the most uniformed of people. The second also hard to believe exchange is when Ambassador Taylor revealed the revelation he received from a unnamed person that this individual overheard a phone conversation between President Trump, where Trump inquired about the pending Biden investigation forthcoming from Ukraine. The voluntary new information was after the the cell phone conversation was completed this individual declared the President was more concerned about the Biden investigation than US Aid released to Ukraine. Chair Adam Schiff eagerly questioned. Was the second hand information audible to or " could the eavesdropper hear the voice of the caller from his position? The Ambassador Taylor quickly answered "YES"  What the American public had just witnessed was the manufacture of so called truth between two people who were never party to the content of the Phone call. The comment was the analyses of the forth party removed from this new revelation. Pure opinion of the forth person and if we believe that the third person could hear both people: why would the question be necessary???  Back Stories circulating among Republicans that Adam Schiff is secretively seeking a spot on Dancing With The Stars is largely unconfirmed!! After two and a half hours of Democratic misrepresentations of partial fact and inappropriate conclusions the Republicans were finally allowed to question the George Kent and Ambassador Taylor. Devin Nunes let the dogs out. During the first two and a half hours both George Kent and Ambassador Taylor answered the democratic question comment and conclusion effortlessly. The comfort of both witnesses no doubt stems from the coaching received by Adam Schiff either directly or indirectly. Also the question were also vetted so that any questions that followed with undesirable results would not be asked so as not to confuse the American people about game day on TV. Conversely when Devin Nunes let the dogs out. Nunes first asked a plethora of questions confirming past statements taken from witnesses previously.  These question removed any possible back peddling of the testimony. Neither changed their stories and stayed in concert. Both witnesses slowed in answers, ask that questions be repeated and response time slowed while they chose their answer. Both Witnesses were uncomfortable with the uncoached questions. The first dog out was John Ratcliff Texas who spurned Adam Schiff about calling the Whisleblower. Then Stephen R Caster Republican Attorney began closing the dialog tighter and tighter to reveal real truth from each witness. A pattern was developing as Republicans passed the ball back and forth confusing the once confident witnesses. The hammer came down when Jim Jordan Ohio verbal attack of fast paced undeniable facts. The uncomfortable witnesses were forced to answer questions about the real corruptions that faced President Trump and the collusion that took place against the Trump campaign in 2016. Also noteworthy was the declaration that Hunter Bidens position at Burismo was a conflict of interest. Any inappropriate conflicts automatically gives the President a obligation to protect the people of The United States of America. I believe this is the smoking gun that will exonerate the President and eventually will place his opponents behind bars. Clearly, first hand information from witnesses under oath will be more valuable than rumors from third, forth and even sixth places removed. Representative Elise Stefanik also proved to be effective bringing out facts. I think the Republicans won the day hands down.

Kangaroo Rodeo

The Democrats celebrated Halloween 2019 with a partisan vote for impeachment inquiry of POTUS. Democrats should suspend the Kangaroo Rodeo immediately and Trump should plead guilty to save the taxpayer money. The finding will go to the Senate where the smart people live and the whole process will get thrown out. The Democrats will ride their Kangaroos out of town next election and The House will get a new Speaker... Happy Trails Tom

Lazeee Boy

Much of the focus in politics today is centered on the impeachment blather spewing from the Democrat Controlled House of Representatives. My fear is the Democrats will continue their siege in 2020. The constant drum beat of Impeachment is drowning out important  issues we Americans need. Immigration, Trade and Jobs have replaced the  national dialog of unemployment and poor economy of the Obama Administration . Americans are finally off the easy chair and back to work in numbers not seen in 50 years. Wages are on the rise and Wall Street and Main Street are in step together. If you support war overseas, uncontrolled immigration up your butt trade deals then Impeachment is for you. Dust off that Lazee Boy and settle in for years of maybe gonna get better hopeless change from the Democrats. The Democrats had eight years to solve the problems of Deuce Bush. Sadly, nobody went to jail and the laws passed will not prevent another melt down crash. Vote for Democrats next November pick out your Lazeee Boy and wait for your check in the mail and long lines everywhere. The Dems don't have a plan accept empty promises of tomorrow. So get to the store and buy that Obama Lazee Boy made in China. The Republicans need to stop defending the President, he will be fine. Instead Attack the Democrats for control of the House. Stop the Nonsense!!!!!!!

More Blather

America seems to have placed the Mueller Report in it's rightful place in the ash heap of history. The attacks against the President have continued. The most recent attacks accuses the President of strong arming the President of Ukraine to complete their investigation into corruption in a Petro Company owned by Russian Oligarch and Hunter Biden AKA Burisma.  The investigation against Burisma was dropped when then Vice President of  the United States was video taped saying if they did not drop the investigation and fire the Ukraine Prosecutor the Vice President would use his power to withhold billions of dollars in foreign aid to Ukraine. The investigation was dropped and Ukraine got the US Payola. Seldom does America get a smoking gun as obvious as Joe Biden's video tape. Old Joe was never the sharpest knife in the drawer. I am certain that when the investigation completes into the charges against the Biden's we will find a abuse of power by the Vice President and the Biden family profited from that abuse. We have no such evidence against President Trump and the phone call in question has been made public. It is also just as clear to me that Trump asked the President of Ukraine to complete the investigation into Burisma Biden's Fiasco as a matter of US Investigation in Corruption at the White House. It is also clear the Trump Family did not profit from Trump's actions. No Smoking Gun. In comes Rep Adam Schiff with a full press Capt Queeg strawberry investigation to prove Trump obstructed Congress against Trump's obvious innocents. We all were lied to by Schiff who advised the public he had seen the evidence against Trump in the now infamous Mueller Report. Trump has continued to tell the truth. For those of us who remember a time when televised programming contained civil persons who spoke only when it was their turn to speak and did constantly try talking over a room of rude discourteous people in televised Smack Down Event. Years ago these people were courteous and the message was truthful and important  interesting information exchanged. Today we sit through endless hours of blather on the boob tube spewing lies from serial liars. Each yelling louder than the next. In the end both Trump and Biden are guilty of conversations with Ukraine. Only one was illegal, unethical and immoral. Only one made billions Only one would take a job as Al Capone's account and claim innocents

Daily Blather

The constant blather of maybe, what ifs and looks like it could be, has vanished from the bobble heads of cable news. Silent since Mueller gave testimony. The daily blather has focused instead on President Trump being a racist. Racism charges are tossed about without proof or documentation. It appears that if you are charged as a racist you are guilty until proven innocent. Never any specific standards or definitions are required. You need not commit an act. Hear say is good enough in lieu of facts or evidence. Meanwhile noise coming out of D.O.J. Bill Barr regarding collusion at the F.BI, D.N.C. Fusion GPS is equally silent. Disturbing that charges so serious are not considered news worthy. I conclude that violence and enforcing the laws at the border are deemed racist even though not all are similar minorities detained. Collusion in the FBI and election meddling takes a distant second place to the perceived plights of citizens from other lands. Happy Trails

Connecting the Dots

It was active in Washington DC this week as the democrats rolled out Robert Mueller to testify on his part in the Special Investigation ordered by D.O.J. Rod Rosenstien. The hope was that Mueller would provide the smoking gun on charges of obstruction of justice clarifications by President Trump. Sadly, the Democrats were availed to No Collusion No Conspiracy, No Obstruction and No smoking gun. What was revealed was Robert Mueller was uniformed on many issues regarding the investigation and subsequent report. When questioned by democrats on obvious answers he refereed to pages in the report. When questioned by Republicans he answered with I cannot speak to that because of ongoing investigations at D.O.J. What I witnessed was a confused man wielding immense authority who did not seem familiar with his Investigation. All this rhetoric was not to discuss Russian Meddling in US Election. The real purpose was to open the doorway to impeachment of the President. Purely. political and supports nothing in Russian Influence or future election. I was disappointed the Special Counsel would not address information on the accuracy of the evidence that was the basis of the investigation. We will be forced to wait until Attorney General William Barr  concludes his report with John Durham. Then we may may find out what parts were played by Chrisopher Steele and Joesph Musfid.  The fact we need two costly investigations to validate what happened in 2016 elections is all the evidence you need to see the Dog and Pony Show Politics at work. The only aspect of the Special Counsel Investigation I learned is Bob Mueller is totally unaware his investigation omitted half of the evidence.  Moving on to Sunday I tuned into hear what the networks talking heads would reveal. Much to my surprise, The Mueller Testimony took second place to a rant from Elijah Cummings made to D.H.S. Secretary about deplorable conditions at the Border and Border Patrol in general. Specifically enraged by children who sat in their own feces. A position which is difficult to argue. Having sat in my own feces many times in my life I can attest to the odors and comfort issues at play. I suspect that if Mr Cumming were equally as honest he would be just as guilty of the embarrassment of the situation.. Again this is politics at work and Mr Cummings is just as responsible for his part in allowing these conditions to continue at the border. Enter President Trump who is equally enraged that Mr Cumming's refusal to take ownership of the legislation and funding as root causes at the border and children with dirty diapers. Trump in turn challenges Mr Cummings with similar and worse conditions in Cummings own district. Trump is immediately vilified as a racist and Cummings although guilty of the same logic gets a free pass, but just as guilty. The networks pile on ABC, NBC CBS all condemn the President as a racist. Chuck Todd should change the name of his show to Beat the President instead of Meet the Press, Chuck pounded Senator Rick Scott not on the accuracy of the Trump claim, Comparison of Baltimore Conditions to Conditions at the Border. Todd and all the other networks chose not focus on the accuracy of the claim but rather Trump's motive or why did he think such a thing, He must be racist. Remember, Mr Cummings did the exact same thing, yet he gets a pass. My questions are simple. Was Eligah Cummings assessment of conditions at the border accurate and what proof can be provided? Was President Trumps assessment of comparable or worse conditions in Cummings district accurate?  Are Poppy Diapers now more important than Russia Meddling in Elections?  If Russian Meddling were Racist would this issue become more important on Sunday Talk Shows?. How did poppy diapers become racial? This is the basis of investigative journalism. Find the truth! Jumping on the Band Wagon of unknown motives and jumping to unverifiable conclusion is just loose talk and unprofessional. Not good for rating, because nothing lights up the rating quite like Who's a Racist this week. Anyhow, this all very simple to figure out. Even Homer Simpson could get the correct answers. Oh yeah I forgot Homer is on FOX... Happy Trails Tom
