Only the Lord

Only God knows what will happen in the coming year. With all the Hillary hype entering 2016, I really feared she would be our next President. The only thing certain in predicting the future is uncertainty.

Time of Trouble

I have never seen an administration on its way out try to handicap its successor the way that Obama is trying to hamstring Trump. It is shameful. If a Republican President was attempting this with an incoming Democrat, the main stream media would never stop shouting about it.

A Real Joke

Mexico is going to "leverage" Donald Trump using NAFTA. Mexico does not understand Trump or the sensible portion of the American people. H. Ross Perot was right about the "giant sucking sound" of good jobs leaving America a generation ago and Trump knows it and will reverse it. Mexico is like a kid trying to trade his marble for the neighborhood mansion. If you want to make the vast majority of Americans and our new President angry, try to bully us with B.S.

The Punch List

Why do Democrat US Presidents try to break things before handing over government to Republican successors? Little things like taking "W"s from keyboards is one thing, but trying to make the world ungovernable is quite another. I never realized so many natural born anarchists joined the Democrat Party and rose to the top of its ranks.

An Arrogant Fool

Some years back, one of the Beatles quipped that the group was "bigger than Jesus". That Beatle, John Lennon, was shot to death a few years later by a deranged fan. Barack Hussein Obama, who is doing as much as he can before he leaves office to throw a wrench in the works for his successor, just said he "could have won a third term". Thank the Lord that we have a Constitutional Amendment that precludes that, because Obama might just have finished us off in another four years. I see great wisdom in term limits. Our departing "misleader" has surpassed the damage done by Jimmy Carter to become the worst US President in my half century.

How Much Damage

Barack Hussein Obama and his cadre are inflicting as much harm as possible on the US and the world before Donald Trump takes over and tries to clean up the Obama mess. Obama has become little more than a vandal or an arsonist in the waning days of his administration. Obama is working with many confederates in his effort to leave Trump an unstable world and an ungovernable nation on the brink of economic catastrophe. Obama has the main stream press, almost all of academia, and the Federal Reserve helping him to saw Trumps's legs off before Donald can lead us on a march of prosperity. Killing off the coal industry, blocking oil drilling, raising interest rates, and selling out Israel are all steps done by the outgoing radical. Let us hope Trump is huge enough to overcome all the damage.

Peace on Earth

Barack Hussein Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize essentially for winning the US Presidency, with apparent hope that his ascension to "Leader of the World" would advance the cause of peace. With his term blessedly about to expire, most would agree that the cause of peace retreated rather than advanced during Obama's miserably failed term of office. At this time of year, let us pray that peace moves forward during the Trump administration, that promises to use strength, rather than weakness and appeasement as Obama oversaw, to move that noble cause.

Obama Undermines Israel

In one last act of idiocy, Barack Hussein Obama has sold Israel down the river at the United Nations. Obama has stabbed America's only friend in the Middle East in the back. Instead of promoting peace and stability in the Middle East, Obama has caused instability and war. Israel will continue to flourish long after Obama is gone!

A Terrorist Neutralized

The filthy murderer of innocents in Germany has been eliminated by brave Italian police. Great police work was not involved. It was a random identification check that led the terrorist to draw his gun. Thank goodness, the Italian policeman out shot him. This particular jihadist shall take no more lives.

Determination to Prevail

Donald Trump will vanquish those who murder at a Christmas Market or gun down an ambassador in cold blood. Trump wants no uneasy truce with terror. Trump knows there is no compromise possible with the expansive nihilistic version of Islam. That brand of jihad and Islamism is incompatible with freedom. I would hate to be a terrorist when Trump takes over and the might of the civilized world is targeted on the barbarians.

Attitude of Appeasement

The greatest attribute Donald Trump has is his determination to prevail over Islamism. Trump is one of the very few Western leaders who will even say "radical Islamic terror". Trump is surrounding himself with war fighters, and battle winners. There will be no safe harbor anywhere on earth for nihilistic terrorists when Trump takes over.

Man of Peace

Ambassador Andrey Karlov was sent by Russia to some of the most dangerous areas of the world to keep a lid on trouble. He served Mother Russia and the cause of peace well. Rest well hero.

Could Go Wrong

The deaths at the Christmas market are on Angela Merkel's hands. What did she expect permitting hundreds of thousands of restive military age Muslim men into Germany? There is no possible way to vet the number of "asylum seekers" she has permitted in, even if they were not from failed societies where Islamic fundamentalism is ingrained from the earliest age. Merkel did not drive the truck, but she handed the terrorist the proverbial key to slaughter innocent Germans.

The Treacherous Ones

They come in daylight with open hand// Pleading to enter our Fatherland// Pretending they want shelter and peace// When all the while they seek to repeat Nice!

Worst Among Equals

Between Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, there are not many policy differences. What set Hillary apart, and why she lost the election, is that she is not likable. Obama seems to be engaging and concerned for you personally, which must be why his approval numbers remain high. Bill Clinton might even be considered charming. Hillary was a great national scold who could only criticize and talk down to people. When she was trying to be adamant, her voice became increasingly grating. I do not know how Hillary can blame Russia for her personal deficiencies.

Support Our Friends

If Donald Trump moves the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, it will be the strongest signal he can send that so long as he is President, jihad and terror will not be permitted to triumph and will be pushed back.

Destroy Evil Dictators

The blood of hundreds of thousands is on the hands of Assad and Kim Jong-un. There is no negotiating with cold-blooded mass murderers. Iran and Russia have propped up the Syrian tyrant, but Assad is mortal. North Korea has few allies. Tehran shares WMD and missile technology with Pyongyang. Red China also is mostly cordial to Kim. If a couple of well-placed cruise missiles could liberate millions from these despots, I would not doubt that Trump might launch them.

The Vanishing Left

Will we see a day when there is no Left left?

The Resurgent America

Many will try to undermine Donald J Trump. None will succeed. Trump and more importantly, America will overwhelm opponents.

Anti Trump Fed

The Federal Reserve that was giving away free money to prop up the insouciant Leftist Obama is going to start ratcheting up interest rates to throw cold water on the Trump recovery. The Fed, which pretends political neutrality, is a completely politicized creature of the Left. Trump needs to replace the Fed governors as their terms are up. He should also audit the Fed.

On Raising Cain

We have a main stream media and an opposition party trying to undermine Donald Trump before he even takes power. The reason Hillary is not about to be inaugurated to succeed Obama is that she is an evil liar with the personality of a coat hanger.

Now the Severing

The brighter, bolder things are gone// But we are left to soldier on// We blindly try to trudge on through// Because that is all we are able to// There is no feat of derring-do// That will permit me to reunite with you// You shattered my heart and shook my mind// I had once imagined you were kind// By smashing what was you and me// You think you will claim victory// But it is innocents who bear the cost// Of everything good that was lost

No Sweet Sorrow

We'll never have Paris// Which I would have given you on a plate// But now it is too late// It is all because of you// We'll miss Prague and Vienna too// One and one became three// But you think you want to be free of me// You will succeed// In watching me bleed// But you are hurting you and our daughter too.

On the Grow

America is on the mend. Trump may not make Mexico or China happy, but he will put smiles back on the faces of American workers.

Real Fake News

Almost everything that the three major news networks and CNN broadcast is biased against conservatives. Almost everything the BBC News and CNN air about the Holy Land is biased against the Jewish State. You find more accurate, unbiased news on Breitbart and Drudge every day than you find in The New York Times and Washington Post in months. There is "fake news" all over the main stream press.

The Trump Miracle?

I along with many others thought undoing the damage Barack Hussein Obama did would be a long and arduous process. I had feared an immediate recession after Trump won the election. I counted on shenanigans by Democrats and the Federal Reserve. Would it not be wonderful if we could transition smoothly into a Trump administration without the setbacks most pundits were fearing?

Should Japan Apologize

I do not think an apology from the current prime minister of Japan would in any way atone for what Imperial Japan did before he was even born. The Empire of Japan was an enemy of the United States. Japan today is one of our strongest allies. If Shinzo Abe does express regret, it will not undo World War II. If Prime Minister Abe does not offer contrition, it does not mean he or the Japan of today hate America or Americans. Whatever Abe decides, the past will stay buried.

Time for Trouble

On this day every year, we commemorate the sneak attack by Japan on US forces at Pearl Harbor. This day must serve as a reminder that we must constantly be both vigilant and prepared for what those who despise our way of life might try to do to us. At Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and again on September 11, 2001, the United States of America was caught with her guard down. Barack Hussein Obama made substantive budget cuts in only one area, that being our national defense. I believe Donald Trump as President will do all in his power to restore American military strength and will lead us in being ever watchful so that no enemy is able to surprise us during his Presidency.

Trouble for Time

We all know (or should anyway) that our time is fleeting. What we do not realize until we are in the situation, is that when we have a physical setback that slows us down, that mortality clock seems to be ticking even faster.

Watching Europe Disintegrate

The European Union never really was. There were just too many languages, too many different cultures, too many compelling local needs, for a unified Europe as one great nation-state to fully work. Nationalism that is not expansive is a virtue, not a sin. It really is alright for Britons to be "Great British" and Italians to be Italian. I am amazed that Germany has for so long carried Greece on its back and is allowing itself to be culturally erased by a refugee horde. For world peace and stability, it is fine to have sane European countries each pursuing the course that benefits their own the most.

To Fight Fire

The Oakland fire tragedy did not have to happen. A mass of people should not crowd into a building with only one hard to access exit point and no sprinkler system. This might not have been an accident, but more like woeful negligence. The saddest death is one that could have been prevented.

Real Rape Culture

There is no "rape culture" on American college campuses and never has been. If you want to see where real "rape culture" exists go to any swirling mass of male Muslim refugees as the world saw in Cologne last New Year or can see at any time in Malmo. That is where it is not safe to be a woman, not in the dorms at your university but where men have been inculcated that women are mere chattel in the lessons of their faith.

Not Just Attitude

Donald Trump is not about posturing and rhetoric. Trump wants to restore our greatness, including our dominance in manufacturing. If seven million dollars in tax credits saves one thousand industrial jobs in the heartland of America, that is money well-spent.

Embrace New Populism

A populism that protects tradition, sovereignty, and employment is not to be feared or resisted, but welcomed. Having someone in the White House fighting to keep good jobs in America will be a change for the better. Having a leader who wants a secure border will be refreshing. Valuing our Founding Fathers and American tradition instead of mocking them will move a long way to making America great again.
