The Same Coin

Barack Hussein Obama is an ideological soulmate to the late Fidel Castro. Obama was somewhat constrained by the Constitutional framework of the US government. Obama could not be as capricious as Fidel was. Make no mistake though, Obama pushed the limit of US law as far as it would bend, politicizing the IRS against his opponents, creating the largest surveillance mechanism ever, sending drones to kill Americans on foreign soil without due process, and issuing more executive orders to bypass Congress than any previous President. Obama is a creature of the Left, which is why he and his administration did not denounce the Cuban despot as Castro passed from this mortal coil.

Stop the Fires

Keeping areas clear of dry underbrush might help contain the fires ravaging my home state of Tennessee. Clearing large firebreaks would also help. Attacking an ignition early also would be beneficial (although that might not be easy, as some of the fires are starting in remote and largely inaccessible areas before they spread). With winds as high as they have been, fighting the fire is exceptionally hard. That is why efforts should have been made before the fires ever started.

The Ultimate Betrayal

A Somali was welcomed into America as a refugee. Somalia is a failed country riven with war, disease, and starvation. This Somali was not loyal to the country that sheltered him and was giving him an education at taxpayer expense. He was loyal to the Koran as he read it, and decided to try and slaughter his fellow students at Ohio State University. Now, thanks to the quick action of a law enforcement officer, this Somali is burning in Hades with Castro.

A Spewing Sewer

The network morning "fake news" programs vomit anti-Trump bile. They have become unwatchable.

A Criminal Enterprise

Those in the main stream press lauding Castro are praising coldblooded murder. There really is "fake news". It is emanating from the dinosaur media. You find more truth on Drudge in a day than you do on the three old-line networks and CNN in a month.

More Good News

Fidel Castro is now in hell. He was a murderous tyrant. Now, if his brother Raul joins him, Cuba has a great prospect of being free.

Always Some Drama

The family was waiting to see if the turkey would show up for last night's Thanksgiving gathering. I arrived about 6:10!

Counting My Blessings

I am greatly blessed. At the top of the list is my (our) beautiful daughter. I only wish I could have more time with her.

The Garden Party

A dear friend is hosting a pre-Thanksgiving party today. I have been advised not to talk about the divorce I never wanted, religion, politics, or sport (since all the local teams just lost). I guess I could talk about it being relatively cold for a garden party, but that might offend our beloved host, whose idea the get-together is. I guess I could pretend I only speak Spanish, but heaven forbid a real Spanish speaker is in attendance.

The Ordered Society

The United States is about to see Europe 1968-style disruptions. There will be student action as we are already seeing. Both high school and college students will ditch class to march. There will be more strikes and labor action than we have seen during the Obama administration when Trump takes office. There has already been action by black flag anarchists. The riots will continue and only worsen until Trump stops them. Those forces aligned against Trump want to make thee US ungovernable. It is up to law enforcement to prevent this dark side from implementing their plans.

Rule of Law

Police officers are being gunned down in the streets. Roads are being blocked by agitators, and it has been reported the father of a four year old died because his ambulance was blocked by protesters. Obama has actually encouraged the lawlessness in words and by welcoming the Black Lives troublemakers to the White House. The moment Trump gains power, he must crush the anarchy!

Remembering Our History

Jimmy Carter allowed the deterioration of America's military and could not stop Iran from seizing and holding US hostages. Bill Clinton would not send American tanks to Somalia for the sake of appearance; thereby allowing the "Blackhawk Down" tragedy. Barack Obama decimated our own military, allowed our VA to neglect veterans, and with Hillary, left Americans to die in Libya. When Democrats have the White House, those who defend America suffer.

Forgetting Our History

One of the early challenges that Donald Trump will face is rebuilding the US military. When George W. Bush left office, America was the lone superpower with the greatest armed force the world had ever known. The one area of the budget that Barack Hussein Obama allowed to be cut, in fact slashed deeply, was our defense budget. These cuts occurred with jihadists at war with us, Iran drawing ever closer to a nuclear bomb and spreading influence into Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen, and helping prop Assad up in Syria, and China asserting regional hegemony of the Pacific. A more potent Russia has also shown aggressive tendencies in the Ukraine. In the run up to World War II, with clear signs that conflict was brewing, the United States allowed its armed forces to shrink so much they were actually smaller than those of Portugal. America's weakness invited Pearl Harbor. Trump must strengthen us quickly because the level of threat we now face is unprecedented.

The Leaderless State

The empty suit who has tried for eight years to tear America away from its founding has just handed the baton of leading (misleading) the Western World, not to his successor Donald Trump, but to the hideous Angela Merkel, the German Hillary, who is using Muslim refugees to undermine the character of her own nation. Barack Hussein Obama also has not denounced the anti-Trump rioters or asked them to stop. Quite the contrary, the departing insouciant apostate Muslim Marxist has encouraged them to use their "voice" and "march on", giving overt approval to those who will try to prevent Trump from governing. Pound sand Barry, you have hurt the country and the world enough already.

Follow the Leader

If "Crooked Hillary" had managed to steal the election, the sycophants in the main stream media would not be criticizing her selection of corrupt cronies, long-time lobbyists, or recycled failures for her Cabinet. They would be lauding her wisdom instead. Donald Trump could appoint the risen Jesus to his Cabinet and the Leftists that run the dinosaur press would have only ill to speak of Christ and Trump.

The Trump Cabinet

There has been much speculation about the Trump cabinet. Judging from the way he ran his campaign, only Trump knows who his cabinet secretaries will be. There is speculation that Ted Cruz might be Attorney General, but I doubt this as Cruz was such a bitter rival during the primaries that he might well appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate Trump.

Nobody Is Perfect

With all my recent criticism of Trump, he is still manifestly better than Hillary would have been.

Just Another Politician

I never thought of Donald Trump as some sort of conservative avenger. I never believed he was going to try to deport eleven million (or more) illegal aliens. I did not think an impenetrable wall would be built between the US and Mexico. Trump was greeted with the chant at rallies: "Lock her up" in reference to Hillary. Donald has now said that he will not appoint a special prosecutor, so we must assume his recent opponent will be spared incarceration. Paul Ryan has declared there will be no "deportation force" under Trump. The Trump Team is saying border security will be improved but that a physical wall the length of the Southern border is "impractical" to "impossible" to construct, so we will end up with a virtual wall not paid for by Mexico, not a real one. Trump had promised during the campaign that he would move the US embassy to Israel to the contested city of Jerusalem, but now that he has won the nation's highest office, he will not. All the lefties and progressives fearing Trump have little to worry about, because Donald is just another politician who said anything to get elected, but who will not keep promises made during the campaign.

Get Over It

To those "peacefully protesting" the election results: We won, you lost. Go back to your parents' basements, your pot shops, and your hookah bars, or maybe go look for a job, as Trump will be creating millions of them, by releasing free enterprise.

Why Hillary Lost

Clinton is blaming the FBI director for her defeat. I would say much of her loss stems from the fact that she is an unskilled but constant liar with a shrill voice and the personality of an oven mitt.

Very Little Changes

Donald Trump is no conservative firebrand. Trump is a pragmatist who was simply better than Hillary. Donald is not the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan. Trump will not throw the money changers from the Temple. He will keep aspects of Obamacare and hopes to spend one trillion dollars on an unprecedented infrastructure stimulus which no small government right-winger would ever propose. Still, I think our nation, our Federal Courts (including the US Supreme Court), and our precious liberty are safer with Trump than they would have been with Hillary.

How Much Damage

How much damage will Barack Hussein Obama do in the waning days of his tyranny? How many felons will he pardon? Will he sell out Israel at the United Nations? Will he continue to poke a finger in Putin's eye, when Russia is taking the battle to terrorists? Will he pardon Hillary so the Clintons never face justice?

Hope Trump Succeeds

Eight years ago, Rush Limbaugh was famously asked for a few paragraphs on the new President Barack Hussein Obama. Rush brilliantly declared, "I hope he fails" because Limbaugh knew Obama's socialist agenda would harm America. Unfortunately, Obama largely succeeded and hurt our nation. Limbaugh did nothing to cause Obama to fail. Obama passed Obamacare and much else he sought and imposed even more through executive order. Obama's actions fell by their own weight. Obama did not immediately after election have to face riots and other protests and people threatening to assassinate him. Obama did not have to face labor unions, students, and Hollywood elite saying they were going to make the nation ungovernable for the next four years, to bring out hell for four years so there could be no chance of reelection. Donald Trump will have to overcome all this. I pray for the sake of the United States that Trump succeeds in overturning all the damage Obama has done.

Go Pound Sand

To those on the political Left who are calling President-elect Trump a racist or even comparing him and his supporters to Nazis: Do you really think you can call him and us such hideous names and have us be magnanimous in return?

World's Loudest Exclamation

The voters just told the establishment elite where they can go. Are you tired of winning yet?

Deliver Us Evil

If Hillary wins, as I fear she will, the United States will have voted in a warmongering felon. Clinton has no reverence for anything, including our Constitution. There is an expression, "you could do worse". America could not do worse than that harridan Hillary.

Ordeal Almost Over

Tomorrow, we can put paid to the fundamental transformation of America, that sick war the Left is waging against the people. We can extinguish the disaster that is Obamacare. We can forever exile the Clintons from the power they crave and exploit. Save America-vote TRUMP!

World War Candidate

Hillary has a track record of destabilizing the world. She and Obama allowed Syria to spin further out of control. Hillary fomented the overthrow of Gaddafi, aiding the rise of ISIS. She and Obama gave up America's gains in Iraq, creating a vacuum filled by Iran in Shia areas, the Islamic State in many Sunni areas, and Turkey near the Turkish border. Clinton has picked fights with Russia and wants a Syria no fly zone to block Russian aircraft that might start World War III. Donald Trump would restore America's military strength, which Obama has sapped and Hillary would not strengthen, and will bring stability back to the world.

A Future Together

The Democrats are the party that divides. They practice triangulation based on gender, race, and sexual orientation. They foment hatred for those who have achieved material success. They are masters of the politics of envy, all the while enriching themselves by selling government favor (as the Clintons so aptly demonstrate). If you want the states and people united, vote GOP.

Nothing But Misery

Crooked Hillary offers no solutions- only increasing misery. With almost 95 million able-bodied, working-age Americans out of the workforce, does Hillary have a jobs plan? No, she has a raise taxes plan that will further stifle job creation. Does Clinton have a defend the nation plan? No, she wants the opposite of a safer country- open borders. Hillary talks a good game about bringing people together and "respect for everybody", but she calls the Americans that do not support her "deplorables". Save America- vote TRUMP!

Everything for Sale

Hillary has sold her office. Do not let her sell our nation's honor.

Selling Our Nation

Hillary Clinton sold access. She plays the class-envy redistribution game but is ultimately interested not in raising you but only in enriching herself and Clinton Inc. She can knock the pegs out from the prominent that are not part of her crony circle and will gladly do so to make herself more palatable to the jealous among us. All the while, Hillary will gladly take money from energy, brokerage, banking, and education syndicates through her all-for-us, none-for-you foundation.

A Sinking Ship

Hillary Clinton never inspired much enthusiasm and certainly now, under the cloud of scandal, can no longer inspire any trust. Anyone who would vote for Clinton under active FBI investigation has as poor judgement as Hillary does.
