I guess most Republicans see through his act but there’s no doubt that those on the Left buy into his story. Their naivete presents itself daily thus empowering the politicians that lead their deplorable Party.
I find it so funny that President Clinton still runs around like he’s some country boy from Arkansas. The guy doesn’t know how to hunt or fish. He’s a fake. He’s lived like a king ever since he moved into the Governor’s Mansion in Arkansas around 40 years ago. He hasn’t had to drive himself anywhere. He has personal chefs and housemaids. Still he tries to get away with being some humble, country bumpkin.
I guess most Republicans see through his act but there’s no doubt that those on the Left buy into his story. Their naivete presents itself daily thus empowering the politicians that lead their deplorable Party. From a historical perspective, the Legislative Branch generally goes the opposite direction of whichever President is in the Oval Office. In this case, Democrats are hoping to enjoy a “Blue Wave” taking over the House and Senate in the mid-term elections. I’m going to go out on a limb and state that in no way do I think it’s going to happen; history will not repeat itself this time.
The reason I state Democrats are naïve to reality are due to the following reasons: 1) Even Democrats who hate Trump are enjoying tax relief and the only thing they’re hearing from their leaders is that they want to increase taxes. 2) Even some Democrats believe we lost our military edge under President Obama. They understand peace through strength. President Trump ran on increasing our military readiness and there are plenty of Democrats serving in the military (and veterans), who appreciate his stance. 3) Democrats are understanding more and more that Obama’s foreign policies were horrendous (i.e. Iran Nuclear Deal, Russian reset button, Syrian Red Line, etc.). They’ve been made aware of what went down with the Iran Nuclear Deal (including the downplaying of the payout to Iran of billions of dollars). Trump is making major headway in areas like North Korea and even the most Left of liberals don’t want to duck a nuclear missile. 4) Democrats can’t argue the excellent job growth we’ve experienced under Trump or the skyrocketing stock market. Democrats once used the mantra: “It’s the economy stupid!” and in this case, they’re on the losing side. Our economic growth is outstanding. 5) Most Americans don’t want open borders and that’s not the message they’re getting from Democrats. People might disagree on the policies, but the fact remains that a large percentage of U.S. citizens are concerned about the impact of illegal immigration and don’t feel Democrats are the Party for fixing these problems. There’s more but I’ll leave it at the above. There’s no telling when it comes to politics how things will eventually shake out but in my opinion, the House will remain strongly with the Republican Party and the Senate will maintain a slight majority thus going completely against historical trends. When it happens, will Democrats finally get the message that they too need a platform other than attacking everyone and everything associated with Trump? I truly don’t have a clue what the Democrat Party stands for anymore when it comes to the things that matter (i.e. economy, infrastructure, national security, etc.). As someone once said: “You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.” The hits keep coming as the Obama Administration gets caught again doing some under-the-table negotiations with Iran; in this case, it involves close to $6 billion dollars.
Iran received access to this money during the Deal, but it wasn’t going to do them a lot of good unless the U.S. allowed them access to U.S. financial markets to where they could convert the money into Euros and U.S. Treasury; which is exactly what they did. Not only this, but as we know the Obama Administration gave Iran over $1 billion dollars (our tax money), just as a thank you for saying they’ll no longer build nuclear weapons. We already know that some of our tax dollars went towards terrorists’ activity. President Trump has said it numerous times and the more I learn about the Iran Nuclear Deal, I agree…this is one of the worst foreign policy fiascos in our history. I’ve written about this topic before but since the media doesn’t let up, I figured I wouldn’t either. What is the glass ceiling? In other words, what laws are in place that hold women back? Are there laws that require they be paid less than men? What would the laws look like if women were to be paid the same as men? How big of a government agency would it take to monitor the millions of businesses as to whether there is any pay disparity? Will they take into consideration someone’s experience? Will they take into consideration how long an employee has worked for the employer? Just how often do two employees in the same department have the very same profile? It just isn’t realistic to have equal pay laws because enforcement is too far out of the spectrum.
There’s no doubt it took time, but the fact is women are doing better and better while men are not. More girls are graduating high school than boys. More young ladies are getting college degrees. More young ladies are getting advanced degrees than young men. Times have certainly changed so once again where’s the glass ceiling? It won’t be long, and women will be paid more than men. It’s a process that has played itself out. With the above in mind, have you ever heard someone from the women’s movement explain the changes they want to make? Exactly what legislations are they pushing? There are none. They do a whole lot of talking (and screaming), but they aren’t doing much else. A new report just came out by the Inspector General which makes many statements including faulting then-FBI Director James Comey for being “insubordinate” and other senior FBI agents for sending anti-Trump text messages even though they oversaw both the Russian Collusion and Hillary Email investigations.
One of the text reviewed was from the FBI agent in charge of the Russian collusion investigation and part of the Hillary email investigation, and he stated explicably in a text that he and others would make sure Trump wasn’t elected. Please let this sink in. The very person in charge of the investigation said he’d help take Trump down. How in the world can we trust anything they found? Just how diligent would they have been regarding investigating Clinton? As we saw, they weren’t. They found that although Comey said there might have been classified information stolen from Clinton’s email server that he did in fact know it took place. Why didn’t he say anything? Why wasn’t Hillary charged when people who have exposed national security have gone to prison? Comey said it was because she didn’t know what she was doing. I’d say that setting up your own personal email server has nothing but nefarious written all over it. She had things she wanted to hide…it’s that simple. The report also stated in so many words, that Comey went completely off the rails in following FBI protocol when it came to investigating Hillary Clinton. For example, they would have taken the server and not allowed the Clinton team to clean it up but in this case, they acted more like they were legal representatives of Clinton and not the FBI. Remember when they raided Trump’s attorney’s office and home? They did this to him because it was FBI protocol, but it wasn’t followed when it came to Clinton. The I.G.’s investigation looked at a variety of allegations, including whether it was improper for Comey to make a public announcement about not recommending prosecution over the Clinton email arrangement. "We found that it was extraordinary and insubordinate for Comey to conceal his intentions from his superiors, the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, for the admitted purpose of preventing them from telling him not to make the statement, and to instruct his subordinates in the FBI to do the same.” In other words, Comey was afraid they wouldn’t let her off the hook, so he moved forward as soon as he could to publicly announce they wouldn’t prosecute even though in reality there were plenty of reasons to prosecute. The bottom line is they found pretty much what was expected by those on the right side of the aisle. The higher-ups at the FBI looked after Clinton and proactively set out to take Trump down. I find this shocking that it would happen at such a prestigious agency. I try to keep in mind that it was isolated and that 99% of the FBI had nothing to do with this scandalous conduct. There were around 45,000 suicides in the U.S. last year. To put it in context, it would be like everyone committing suicide in 16 small towns. It's so sad!
Comparative speaking the U.S. ranks 48th among other countries when it comes to suicide rates. Of note, here are some other countries and where they rank (South Korea 10th, Poland 15th, Russia 17th, Japan 26th, North Korea 28th, Sweden 46th, France 54th, Canada 87th, Germany 105th, China 115th, Britain 123rd, Israel 143rd, Mexico 148th, and Iraq 156th). Keep in mind that Mexico has a very large Catholic population and the church is very much against suicide. If you know of anyone struggling, please send them to the NAMI website or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Phone Number: 1-800-273-8255. Thank you. Whatever happened to the women who came out before the election to say Donald Trump abused them? I’m not saying I know the truth about the situation, but I find it interesting that so many times before various elections, things like this will come out and then they completely fade away. I think we should keep this in mind regardless of our Party affiliation.
Democrats and the mainstream media quickly coined it: “The Monica Lewinsky Scandal” when in fact it was the “President Bill Clinton Scandal.” They controlled the narrative from the beginning and began vicious attacks on Monica’s character making it sound like she made the whole story up and that she was doing it to get her 15 minutes of fame. Who in the world would want this kind of fame? Why didn’t the women’s rights groups help Monica?
Could you imagine if President Trump had a sexual affair with a White House Intern? The Left would lose their minds and demand Trump be impeached. Where was their outrage during Clinton’s scandal? It wasn’t even the first time Clinton had been tied to other women which in the end, he had to settle out of court for sexual assault/misconduct. What’s worse is Clinton lied about the affair with Monica thus calling her a liar…a message heard around the world. She was an innocent 22 year- old with no voice and Democrats were burying her in the press. I feel so sorry for what Monica went through and come to find out, President Clinton never apologized to her…he never even spoke to her again. How does that fit the Me-Too narrative? He’s not taking ownership for what he did. Women’s Rights groups have the chance to make good on their platform and that is to hold President Clinton responsible for treating Monica like a piece of trash. From Webster’s Dictionary: A secret or “illegal” cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others. I’ve heard some political pundits say that collusion isn’t illegal, but the fact is, it can be. The bottom line is the Moeller investigation hasn’t presented anything that proves Russian collusion let alone anything that would warrant “illegal collusion.” My guess is that even when Moeller presents his findings and President Trump is in the clear, that Democrats will never give up trying to pin Hillary’s loss on some conspiracy. I feel sorry for them because they’re missing out on some vital insight into what’s happening in their Party.
To increase diversity among air traffic controllers, the FAA under President Obama, reduced its qualifications for new hires. In the past, military experience and college degrees in applicable fields (some colleges cater to this industry), lost their importance in the hiring process and instead racial make-up is one of the key qualifications. Meaning based on the weighting system, someone could be ex-military but miss out on the job solely because he’s white.
There are certain jobs, like air traffic controllers, where we certainly want the most qualified personnel possible. We don’t need the FAA to lower standards we need them to raise standards. Quite frankly, if a white person doesn’t get a job because he or she is white, then that’s quite simply called racism. |
