Why We Elected Donald Trump...

Another Trump Effect?

From Bloomberg: U.S. Small-Business Optimism Index Surges by Most Since 1980.

Outstanding Parody!

To All Those Out In The Streets And Protesting Trump's Election

You are making asses of yourselves by throwing these tantrums.

Your candidate lost.

Go home!

Go back to class!

Go back to wherever you were before the November 8 election!

In other words, get over yourselves.

The rest of America — and not only those who voted for Trump — have long fuses before we blow our stacks, but that fuse is getting shorter and shorter as we watch you putting on your displays of batshit craziness.

THIS MEANS WAR !!

Michael Moore Has A 5-Point Post-US Election Plan For Democrats To Regain Power…

The uber-leftist as taken to Facebook with a "Morning After To-Do List".

As part of the 5-point plan, he lists taking over the Democrats, firing the media and remembering that Clinton won the popular vote -- meaning: "The majority of your fellow Americans wanted Hillary, not Trump."

(WRONG - and CNN admits it.) 

Since he published it 11 hours ago it has been shared more than 120,000 times.

Here's the list. 

1. Take over the Democratic Party and return it to the people. They have failed us miserably. 

2. Fire all pundits, predictors, pollsters and anyone else in the media who had a narrative they wouldn't let go of and refused to listen to or acknowledge what was really going on. Those same bloviators will now tell us we must "heal the divide" and "come together." They will pull more hooey like that out of their ass in the days to come. Turn them off. 

3. Any Democratic member of Congress who didn't wake up this morning ready to fight, resist and obstruct in the way Republicans did against President Obama every day for eight full years must step out of the way and let those of us who know the score lead the way in stopping the meanness and the madness that's about to begin. 

4. Everyone must stop saying they are "stunned" and "shocked". What you mean to say is that you were in a bubble and weren't paying attention to your fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew. Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and tell them all "You're fired!" Trump's victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one only strengthened him. He is both a creature and a creation of the media and the media will never own that. 

5. You must say this sentence to everyone you meet today: "HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE!" The MAJORITY of our fellow Americans preferred Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Period. Fact. (WRONG - and CNN admits it.) 

The only thing true about the list the MSM. They're catching it from both ends.

But I do agree with him on one point:

Those same bloviators will now tell us we must "heal the divide" and "come together." They will pull more hooey like that out of their ass in the days to come. 

Meaning there will be NO healing. There will be NO coming together. There will be NO compromise with the opposition!

This means WAR!!

And Trump and the Elephant gang better WAKE UP to that fact and fast.

Rust…Never…Sleeps

With the election of Donald Trump, the Republic has been saved……..for now.

I’ll get to that comment in a moment. First I want to tell you a little story.

A couple of three decades ago, I had a friend of mine who was a NASA engineer. I visited him at his office at NASA Ames in California. Behind his desk, like most engineers, was blackboard filled with numbers and equations.  Tacked to the wall of the top corner of the blackboard was a note that read “DO NOT ERASE” and pointed to a pristine space on the blackboard that read:

RUST NEVER SLEEPS!

My NASA engineer knew that constant vigilance was necessary in his business. The corrosive effects of rust will always – ALWAYS -- be lurking beneath the surface.

And the corrosive effects of two decades of RINOism and Progressivism has corroded the very foundation of our society and culture.

And now, with Trump, we have a chance to reverse that process and repair SOME of the damage done to our country.

BUT…….

If you think these calls for unity are true  --  you are living in La La Land.

As Rush said on his show yesterday, these calls for unity are a TRAP.

Folks, there is no desire for unity by the people on the left.  It's a trap, it's a sucker play, and what makes me nervous is that we have Republicans who want to fall into that trap.  I don't know about Trump yet.  Way too soon for that….. They do not want unity.  The protests, the college snowflakes melting before our eyes? They do not want unity.  It is a sucker trap.  

It's a sucker play designed to get us to essentially act like we didn't win.  We've seen it before.  We've seen the movie!  Remember when we won the Senate and then said, "You know, it's not fair! It's not fair we should have majority," and so we gave them essentially an extra vote so the Senate would be 50-50, trying to show the American people how open-minded and fair we can be.  I made this prediction numerous times. 

And, by the way, it sounds really wonderful to say in the afterglow of an election, to talk about putting aside our differences and unifying. It sounds wonderful, and maybe that's what Americans want to hear.  I'm hoping it's just what people think they have to say right now on our side.  Look, there's a headline in The Politico today: "Obamacare Defenders Vow 'Total War.'"  They're not gonna lay down, folks.  They're not gonna unify. 

RUST NEVER SLEEPS.

This is not the time for unity with those that are bent on destroying this country. Whether they be Progressive socialists or Islamic Fundamentalists. This is the time to place the BOOT on the NECK of the Progressives and Islamists and the running dogs that travel with them – the RINOs and the #Trumps – and never let them up to corrupt our country again.

Rush is right. We’ve seen this game before. In 2010 and 2014. The unity plead is a trap made to lure Republicans back into being little polite Lord Fauntleroys who want to play nice-nice with the virulent opposition.

Folks. The opposition will not quit. NEVER! They said so. And If Trump gives them any quarter – ANY QUARTER AT ALL! – we will allow the RUST lying beneath to re-emerge and gain power. Do you really think the riots and protests will subside when we all call for unity? Bullshit! These are organized riots – that’s what they are called, not protests –bought and paid for by Soros and his ilk and will never end no matter what olive branches s we extend. They are fascists and they know it.

The Left in the form of Progressivism, as Denise Prager has said, has ‘NO moral compass’. Right or wrong has no meaning to the Left. Logic has no meaning. Only ‘feeling good’ about a solution to a problem counts and damn the consequences. And if you disagree with them you…are…the…enemy and are called every name in the book that they themselves represent. And they have made that very, very clear.

So what do we owe them? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. We must marginalize them and keep them at arm’s length and forever from the levers of power. Or as my father used to say, “Don’t argue with fools and drunkards”.

I’ll go one step further. The Progressive Left and their cohorts – the Muslim Fundamentalists – are not only mentally ill – just look around the absolute stupidity of their actions – but EVIL and we must keep our boot on their neck as we reconstruct what made this country great and become that “Shining City of the Hill” Ronald Reagan so accurately spoke about.

The Republic has been saved --- for now.

But Rust…Never…Sleeps

Hey, Karl! Can you hear me now?

Last night, "pundit" Karl Rove opined that Donald Trump owes Paul Ryan a debt of gratitude. The other Fox people on the desk nearly broke out into a riot live, on the air. Too funny!

Today is a good day to review my post from May 2016:

Over and over, Karl Rove and his various mouthpieces have declared:

"Donald Trump will not be the nominee."

Back in October, I tried to tell one of the inner circle (an individual whom I will not, at this point, name):

"If you don't get out in front of this right now and put up a candidate who addresses the issues that the peasants beyond the moat care about, Donald Trump will take the party right out from under you."

I was told more than once in the hours long meeting:

"We must remain tethered to reality."

Here's your reality, Karl et al,...

Donald Trump is the 2016 GOP nominee.

And, today, Donald J. Trump is the President elect!

Hey, Karl, can you hear me now?

Why Republicans May Never Win the White House Again

I received this email from a friend of  mine that should make us all think.

From an Air Force and airline buddy of mine. 

Just finished a 11 day drive across the country. I could hold all the Clinton posters in my hand but could not hold all of the Trump posters in a railroad car. I believe that Trump will win over 80% of all the counties in the US but will lose the election. Our country is being run by the inner cities. If we made people show a W2 to vote it would not be close. Hillary today went from one gathering of hispanics and blacks to the next. How many countries run by these people do we want to emulate?  And yet we have them picking our President and therefore running our country.  We have turned the corner in our country and we are going down hill. How I pity the generations to follow. 

It's all in the numbers. The urban areas are infested with Democrats and will very soon outnumber the rural counties. Just look at a state election results map from years past as an example.   

Notice that the majority of counties in Florida were RED - Republican. But the urban areas, filled with Democrats - though few in number - had the greater population. This kind of spread can be found in most US States.

Guess where the urban areas in BLUE are?

What will be the end result of this? Would the RED counties someday resent this breakdown? Would they feel disenfranchised? And what will be the response?

The only hope is that the Hillary contingent somehow decides to assimilate and become Americans - and not hyphens - and vote for the American values that founded this country.

If not, we may be on our way to being a third world country.

Truth In Song

(with a hat tip to Thersites, who left a link this video in a comment at my blog)

SPEW ALERT! SAVE YOUR KEYBOARD!

Post-Debate Thought

Comment I made yesterday during the second 2016 Presidential debate:

You know what I'm sick and tired of?

All sorts of "news" and entertainment media acting so offended and and horrified about braggadocio-male Trump when those same media people entities have been debasing American culture and the traditional American ethos for at least three decades!

And for the record...Donald Trump did apologize — at least twice.

Assange May Not Be Announcing This Week After All

From the Washington Examiner (dated October 2, 2016)...

Report: WikiLeaks founder won't make announcement because of 'security concerns'

The status of WikiLeaks' anticipated release of information on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is up in the air.

After Donald Trump ally Roger Stone tweeted the group was set to release information about Clinton on Wednesday, a NBC News reporter tweeted that the group was no longer making the announcement.

"Due to security concerns at the Ecuadorian Embassy, Julian Assange's balcony announcement on Tues has been cancelled, per @wikileaks," Rodriguez tweeted.

It's unclear if Assange's scheduled speech means there will be no release of new information on Clinton or if WikiLeaks will release new documents but without the pomp and circumstance of Assange making a speech.

WikiLeaks has released a trove of emails related to the Democratic National Committee's dealings over the presidential primary race between Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Those emails had more of an impact on the DNC than the Clinton campaign directly, which revealed correspondence DNC officials plotting to undermine Sanders in favor of Clinton. Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz stepped down from her post as chairwoman of the committee along with multiple staffers in the wake of the email dump.

National security analysts have suggested WikiLeaks received the emails from hackers working at the direction of Russia or possibly agents of the Kremlin. It's been widely speculated that WikiLeaks is being used by Russian President Vladimir Putin to influence the United States election.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has promised to release information that could impact the race before Nov. 8.

The Clinton Political Machine strikes again?

Trump's Vulgarity

Certain "conservatives" have bemoaned Donald Trump's vulgarity. I've seen opinion column after opinion column on that topic.

Other conservatives don't give a damn. In their view, Donald Trump is telling it like it is. I'm a member of that particular school of thought.

Recently, Adrienne of Adrienne's Corner made this comment at my site:

I don't accept the supposition that Donald Trump is vulgar. Speaking truth is not vulgar. Love of country will never be vulgar. Trump recognizes there's a real problem in this country and has proposed ways to start down another path.

Vulgar is forcefully taking money from people in the form of confiscatory taxes and giving it to other countries, institutions, and people. Vulgar is defending a woman's right to slaughter her child in the womb. Vulgar is being obsessed with who uses what bathroom. Vulgar is trying to convince me that two men or two woman having sex is perfectly normal. Vulgar is the quasi intellectuals who are forever telling us little people how stupid we are.

Exactly how have these "conservative" politicians done anything to stem the tide of the "long march through our institutions?"

I don't want a candidate who waves his Bible about and declares his creds as a Christian. I want a candidate who allows me to wave my Bible about without fear of reprisal.

Video: Hillary delete it

With a hat tip to FJ, who made me aware of these videos:

Can Hillary successfully stonewall, and lie her way out of what she's done? She's doing her best to make the unthinkable happen: another Clinton occupying the Oval Office.

Parody version:

Tim Kaine's Comments About Islamic Treatment Of Women

Well, more specifically, about women in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Rwanda as compared to women in the United States:

Vice presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said Tuesday [August 17, 2016] that the United States has made it difficult for women to be elected to higher office, and argued that America ranks behind Iraq, Afghanistan and Rwanda in this area.

"It took 144 years before women even got the right to vote in this country," Kaine said at a campaign rally in Fayetteville, N.C. "What were we thinking when we said equality mattered, but no. One hundred and forty four years. It took us that long to say in 1920, to say women get a right to vote. And now we're 96 years later and we have just nominated a woman. We know we haven't had a woman president....

Beyond the labels I've added to this post, I have no further comment.

What is there to say?

One More Time

Hillary Rodham Clinton is unfit to hold any political office which requires security clearance.

Before leaving the topic of yesterday's blog post "Extremely Careless" Hillary Clinton, please read How the FBI director systematically dismantled Hillary Clinton’s email defense (Washington Post, July 5, 2016), reproduced in its entirety below the fold and worth your time if you give one whit about the truth:

FBI Director James B. Comey’s remarks Tuesday about Hillary Clinton’s email use while she was secretary of state directly contradicted much of what Clinton had said publicly about the issue.

Here’s how Comey’s statements stack up against Clinton’s explanations.

Did Clinton send or receive classified material using her private setup?

What Clinton said:

March 10, 2015: “I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email.”

July 2, 2016: “Let me repeat what I have repeated for many months now. I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified.”...

Hannity's Interview With Donald Trump

Worth 40 minutes of your time (hat tip to Adrienne):

Why Donald Trump Has Such Traction

From the Telegraph's article Donald Trump is giving the over-educated geeks who run the world a sharp lesson in reality (May 6, 2016):

...Like Reagan before him, Trump is the great communicator of his time, and while his style might not be to everyone’s taste he is in sync with the zeitgeist. He is bringing back disgruntled voters who had given up on the whole process and is giving them hope. Those blue-collar workers who always looked to the Democrats to give them a break now look to Trump. The under-educated—normally ignored and despised by the media—are getting their moment to speak, and they’re not as dumb as they look. They’re actually street smart, full of common sense, and way ahead of the curve on this.

Maybe the geeks who rule us at the moment, who are not doing a very good job of it, need a few extra classes in reality....

Paradigm Shift?

The Cambridge Dictionary Online defines "paradigm shift" as the following:

a time when the usual and accepted way of doing or thinking about something changes completely.

Last week, I said at at Ed Bonderenka's blog Not of This World...

If what we are witnessing [in this election cycle] is a paradigm shift, we shouldn't be surprised that there is a great deal of animosity. And I've come to believe that we may well be in the early stages of a paradigm shift. I lived through the huge paradigm shift of the Sixties followed by a smaller paradigm shift (Reagan),and, of course, the more recent paradigm shift (2007-present).

When a pendulum swings in reaction to a very recent swing, the pendulum will swing hard. If time allows and the clock doesn't implode, the pendulum will come back to center.

From Trump: What American Conservatism Needs:

...“True” American “conservatism” cannot be saved by the executive branch or the Republican Party. It can only be preserved in the family, the home, the small town, and the political communities that make up America, what truly makes “America great.” When Americans subscribe to a national prescription as a remedy for all that ails us as a people, they unknowingly invite the type of executive abuse we have weathered for the past twenty-eight years.

If Americans wish to “conserve” anything, it should be hearth and home, freedom to have your local political community reflect your values, and the possibility of upward mobility unrestrained by unconstitutional federal regulations. It should be a revival of the rugged individualism that provided the blood and sweat of American greatness. More than anything, Trump has tapped into these values. The establishment can’t stand it.

Trump’s victory has made establishment “conservatives” angry. It may even signal the demise of the Republican Party (I doubt it). It may drive some people to support Clinton or a third-party alternative in the general election. But it won’t destroy American conservatism. Trump has, whether the establishment wants to recognize it or not, rekindled it....

Please read it all HERE. We have a lot to consider before we cast our ballots in the 2016 National Election six months from now.
