Don't even play him for a fool

"If I were a betting man, I would almost bet the house this much needed wall will be built. It is wanted and needed by the normal people who live in this country." 

The road is littered with those who have played Donald Trump to be a fool. In the real estate business in NYC, many know not to mess with Donald Trump. They respect and fear him. Play nice with him, he will play nice back. Negotiate a fair deal with him, he will live up to it. Screw him over, and he will spend boatloads of money to screw you back. Turning the other cheek, does not exist in his business paradigm. 

Because he is a patriot, in 2016 he decided to jump into the total dysfunction of Washington DC. In his mind as a CEO, he could not understand how this town could be this broken. Thus, he wanted to be President to try and fix it. He soon found out how unfixable it is. It's the cabal. The cabal which has existed now for decades.

The once legit Forth Estate (media) has turned into being anything but legit. So, the cabal are the socialists from the Democrat Party, now teamed up with their lap dog media. Together, the cabal was going to make quick work of this pretender to the throne. In other words, they played him to be the fool.

The rest is history. The man with the most unconventional style in the history of American Presidents, is getting great things done for this country, despite the best efforts of the cabal. In fact, the best chapter in this saga is about to play out. Now that Congress has set this trap for the President by only authorizing pennies on the dollar for border security, Donald Trump is about ready to outflank them once again. 

How so? He let out an "inkle" just the other day. When asked about how he was going to proceed with the wall after only getting such parsimonious funding, he looked up and said, "We have lots of money in this country. The wall is going to be built." Even though once he starts taking legit money from other sources and re-positions them for wall use, causing the Democrats start judge shopping to have him stopped, Donald Trump will be four or five moves ahead on the chess board. 

If I were a betting man, I would almost bet the house this much needed wall will be built. It is wanted and needed by the normal people who live in this country. The American Haters, who always root for the bad guys, are in for some major disappointment. Sorry about that. Sometimes the good guys in the white hats do win. As far as border security is concerned, this is one of them. 

Unfit to serve

"This country is under attack right now from within. These nut balls want to open your borders, kill your children, legalize all kinds of crime, destroy our economy, and liquidate the State of Israel."

Those of us who have been in the armed services know this to be true. The worst thing a person could hear from a higher up, is you are unfit to serve. That is an "ouch" like no other. Once you are deemed to be unfit to serve, your unceremonious exit from the service is usually close behind. And that - you carry with you for the rest of your life.

We seem to have a whole gaggle of folks in this Congress who are unfit to serve. Not by a little bit - by a lotta bit. And of course, the once proud state of Minnesota has produced its own nut ball. A woman who (allegedly) committed immigration fraud, by marrying her brother to get into this country. Huh? Has that allegation been fully vetted? Nope. Seems she has some Teflon coating due to her refugee status and religion. 

Of course we also have the potty mouth from Michigan who also is Teflon coated. Who else, could get away with calling our President a "M-F". Again, protected by her refugee status and religion. Just imagine some Republican had done that to Obama. That Republican would have been tarred an feathered, then run out of town on a rail. But white, Christian men have no Teflon coating. In fact, it is usually open game on them by the Loons on the Left.

How about those in any form of government who loudly advocate third and fourth trimester abortions? Are they fit to serve? HELL NO, they are not! Then how in the world can they get away with what they are advocating? The killing of our children? How? They have been brainwashed by the Party of Death. Co-opted, into thinking a baby is no more than a tumor. A baby is not a gift from God, but an inconvenience to be gotten rid of. Like I say, these people are unfit to serve.

Just look at the people who have already signed up to be candidates for President from the Democrat side. I have seen more talent in the cast of the F Troop. These people, many who are either unfit to serve, or just marginally fit, want to lead this nation? Really? This would be Hillary Clinton, deja vu. Not one of these morons, including Amy hot dish, would I trust with the nuclear football. Imagine if Omar was our President. She would nuke Israel, just for kicks and giggles.

Ladies and gentlemen of the norm - please be advised. This country is under attack right now from within. These nut balls want to open your borders, kill your children, legalize all kinds of crime, give anyone (legal or otherwise) the right to vote, destroy our economy, and liquidate the State of Israel. And they are doing under the hideous guise of PC madness.

You may think the warnings from the citizens and patriots are shrill and full of histrionics. But they are not. In my view, the warning sirens and bells should be going off at 150 decibels. We need to CLEAN HOUSE! Get rid of these misfits, before they ruin the country. Recall them, impeach them - whatever. I don't know if we can afford to wait until 2020 to vote them out. And that in my opinion - is nothing more than hard, cold fact. 

The shaming of our shrews...

"Do I feel animus towards this woman? No more than any other Democrat phony or hack. And have no doubt - she is a phony and a hack. And a shrew." 

Years ago in high school, I was in a play called Kiss me Kate. This play written by Cole Porter, was about a theater troop tying to put on the Shakespearean play, The Taming of the Shrew. It was great fun, and the lead female actress in the troop who was to play the role of the Shrew, was quite a shrew herself. That play came to mind yesterday, when famous Amos (aka Amy Klobuchar) made her snowy announcement. 

Do I feel animus towards this woman? No more than any other Democrat phony or hack. And have no doubt - she is a phony and a hack. And a shrew. If there is one modicum of truth in the stories of how she handled and harassed her staff, both as a senator as well as when she was AG in Minnesota, she is absolutely a shrew. And our highest office is no place for a shrew. Ask Hillary Clinton - another shrew. The country showed her the door long before she stepped foot in the Oval Office as the Commander in Chief.

By now, some sharp proof readers think I made a mistake in the title. I said "shews" instead of just shrew. It was no mistake. That is because there are more than one shrews. In fact, there are many in this state. All reside within the Party of Death. How about our Barbie Doll from the 5th? The one who is letting her true colors show more and more. This is a woman who HATES the Jewish people as well as the Jewish State of Israel. And now she is in our Congress. She is a hateful young woman, with a tattered background, little education, and (God forbid) - a security clearance. 

How about our other Senator? The one who was a big deal in our state's Planned Parenthood? I wonder how she feels about third and fourth trimester abortions? I am guessing just fine, as she has been very silent on the New York or Virginia issues. To me, on an issue like deaths by murder of our most innocent, silence in consent. Let me say that one more time. WHEN IT COMES TO ABORTION, NO MATTER WHICH TRIMESTER, SILENCE IS CONSENT. 

By the way, when the women from the Party of Death say they represent all Minnesotans, that is crap. When they say they care for all Minnesotans, that is also crap. Be it Angie Craig, Betty McCollum, Ilhan Omar, Tina Smith, or Amy Klobuchar, they are all the same. Like they were stamped by the same cookie cutter. Seldom if ever, a mention of our deity. But - always a mention of how Gaia is being wounded by "man-made" global warming. Never a word about the miracle of birth, but always cast iron support for the killing of a fetus. For this alone, they are all shrews.

There is an old statement - "We get the government we deserve." Minnesota, do you really think we deserve this bunch? I don't. Minnesota is better than that - or are we? Maybe the state has been co-opted by the dark side, like California and New York have been. If that is the case, maybe it is time for the good folks to leave, and not look back. After all, the good folks don't deserve to be turned into pillars of salt. 

The great energy war cometh!

"That being said, beware of the knee jerk ideas which will be premature and dangerous. Like the Green New Deal. This would be a great way to kill our golden goose."

This is going to be interesting to watch. We are on the verge of a great energy war. It has taken forever, thanks to obstructionist tactics by the Loons on the Left, but we have finally become not only energy self sufficient, but also a net energy exporter. And once Anwar comes on line up in Alaska, it will be even better. It will add an additional 10 billion barrels of oil to our already full reserve. That is one side of the equation.

On the other side are the socialism nuts, the kooks, the commies, and believe it or not - the auto industry. If we wanted to take things all the way from the goofy to the idiotic, let's look at the Green New Deal. That nutty plan would have ALL our fossil fuels going bye-bye in ten years. Including jet fuel, as there would be no more airplanes. We would however, still have cars.

But yesterday Bing had an article about how the auto industry is geared up for the 2020's. If you are a internal combustion person like I am, it is not good news. Some companies which made totally gasoline powered cars, will be making mostly, or all, electric/hybrid by 2025. Some by 2022. That is the other side of the equation.

Let's look at what would happen if we took fossil fuels out of the equation, and immediately went 100% "green". For starters, we would not be going anywhere, or staying warm. Why? 85% of our energy still comes from fossil fuels. Thousands would have perished during the last polar vortex. We can cheer and clap all we want about clean energy, but it is still a small ball player in this country. Also, about two and half million people work in in existing energy jobs. That is a whole lot of people to throw out in the street. Plus - almost 10% of our GDP comes from our existing energy production. Take that away, and we are in a deep recession - immediately.

Many of the "greenies" think this is all but a done deal since they believe the end is in sight for oil. Some think we have only ten years of oil supply left, and then we will really be in a lurch if we don't do something. Maybe. One thing however, which is being left out of the equation are other sources of oil. Like shale oil for example. We have (estimated), 3.7 trillion barrels just in the United States. That means decades of supply. As for coal, we have enough proven reserves to last for 150 years. So, are we going to run out of petroleum products in the United States in the near future? Not hardly.

That being said, inventors all over the world are working day and night to come up with a better mousetrap. The golden fleece of energy. No, not wind nor solar. They have their limitations, as well as externalities of production. It will come, and sooner than most think. Many think it will be hydrogen - the most abundant element in the universe. My guess is by 2050, our oil reserves will be used for strictly manufacturing purposes, with our new energy sources doing all the heavy lifting in getting us around, and keeping our abodes comfortable. 

That being said, beware of the knee jerk ideas which will be premature and dangerous. Like the Green New Deal. This would be a great way to kill our golden goose. Our transition of energy needs to be thoughtful and well planned out. Failure to do so will really put us up a creek without a paddle - or, in a house with no heat.  

Control Freaks

"Freedom loving people, please listen up. These control freaks are for real. They are coming for your freedoms. They want total dominion over your life."

If I were to declare this morning, that I was going to instruct all of you on how to live your lives, I dare say not too many would be happy. For example, if I dictated what to eat, when to sleep, what to do in the daytime, and even when to go to the bathroom - most would tell be to pound sand, right before hitting the "unfriend" button. But folks - that is what is happening right now. We have legions of statists, globally, all the way down to locally, dying to control your life. I wish this were a joke or a parable, but it is not.

Anyone remember Agenda 21? That is the mandate from the master global control freak - better known as the United Nations. Remember the UN? The organization who had one time had the charter of ensuring world peace? Since they are useless at keeping tin horn dictators from popping up all over the place, from keeping Russia and China in check, they have devolved into simple social engineering. Global redistribution of wealth and resources, and crapola such as that.

Part of Agenda 21 is developing Sustainable Development Goals. There are 17 of them, which cover everything from totally equality for everyone on the planet, to each family having a unicorn in the back yard (okay - I am kidding about the last one). I encourage each of you to read through these 17 goals some time. The main theme is making everything equal, by making the playing field level. Since there is not enough tea in China to make every country have the lifestyle of the US, the US would have to ratchet down its life style a bit - like to the early 1900's. This is what our massive dues to the UN are paying for. 

If you live in the United States, we have the Green New Deal (GND) being discussed right now. Forget Agenda 21 - this puppy will not put us back to the early 1900's, it will take us back to the stone age. I would like to say this plan is nutty, but that is an insult to nuts.

Most of us by now have read some of the low lights of what the statists and socialists have in mind for us in the GND. It will be utopia, but - you will not have a choice - all will be mandated to join in. Each of us may sit by a pond and write poetry, if that is your heart's desire. Nobody has to work. Healthcare, education, and rent will be free. No more climate change, as we will have dumped planes, trains and automobiles. AND (this is the big one) - no more water problems. We will be recycling our urine for coffee, orange juice, or whatever. Fred Flintstone -here we come!

Finally, if you are blessed enough to live in Minneapolis, you also will have Thrive 2040 telling you how to live. Not just how to live, but where to live. Like vertical. The city planners have this all worked out. We will no longer be citizens of a large city - we will be lab rats. We will be told what to eat, how to transport, how many kids to have (if any), how many square feet we have to live in, the temperature we can keep those square feet at, and so forth. Is this Brave New World? No, this is much, much darker.

Freedom loving people, please listen up. These control freaks are for real. They are coming for your freedoms. They want total dominion over your life. You might as well be living your life like a human battery, as in the Matrix. The most important thing ALL can do right now is PAY ATTENTION! These nut balls have YOU in their sights. 

Freedom is not free. Someone is always willing to relieve you of your freedoms. Look around. These freedom grabbers are all over the place. Be aware, Be vigilant, Be prepared. 

AOC and her Fountain of Babble

"Both however, are capable of talking nonsense and babble for hours at a time. When either of them talk, I am reminded of that famous line from Macbeth: "'Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'" 

This is like a dream. Not a nightmare. Not a sweet dream. Just a crazy dream. One where nothing makes sense. We have all had them. You wake up in the morning, shaking your head, wondering what that was all about. Welcome to the world of our twenty-nine year old fruitcake from New York. Who somehow has figured out the way to take all the oxygen out of the air, only by pontificating absolute nonsense.

I have been told by freshmen in the Minnesota House, your status that first term is lower than gum on the bottom of a shoe. I assume it would be the same for a freshman in the United States Congress. Nope. Not for AOC. And to a much lesser extent, our own Barbie Doll. Both however, are capable of talking nonsense and babble for hours at a time. When either of them talk, I am reminded of that famous line from Macbeth: "Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." 

In the old days, when I would be spoofing my mother-in-law, she would tell me I was so full of crap, my eyes were brown. All in good fun. However, what is not in good fun is what I call the "Brown New Deal". Why brown and not green? For the same reason my mother-in-law commented on the color of my eyes. There is nothing green here - this "New Deal" is so full of crap, it is brown.

Of course, this nutty idea will go absolutely nowhere. It would be somewhat amusing if so many idiots on the other side did not take this seriously. I mean, if you did take it seriously, you should know this plan is not only impracticable - it is out and out impossible.

Get rid of all fossil fuels in ten years? According to the local Left leaning newspaper, if we did not have the energy reserves we have in this state (that be fossil fuels), people would have froze during the last polar vortex. But who cares? For the Party of Death, they would just be collateral damage in the battle for the common good.

Actually, when AOC went over her "plan" point by point, it was not a mixed bag. I could not say there were some was good, some so-so, and some just plain bad ideas. Nope - the entire plan was beyond bad. It was just nutty. Any Democrat worth his or her salt should have been the first in line to tell her to shut the hell up. She is embarrassing the party. Instead, many of the new social democrats look like zombies, eating up every word she says.

Welcome to the new world of Alice in Wonderland folks. Seems we have fallen down the rabbit hole and nothing looks as it should. The fact that AOC even exists right now is stranger than the Cheshire Cat smiling in the dark. My view? She is very good for Donald Trump's chances in 2020. Every time she opens her mouth, our President looks more and more like the adult in the room. It really is as simple as that.   

WTH Virginia???

"Virginia, time to grow up. Purge all these dastardly Democrats from your system and let the grownups once again be in charge. You are better than this Virginia - much better."   

When I was in heat of my working days, one of the quips I would often tell when asked where I live, would be this - "Sometimes Minnesota, but mostly Virginia". Why would I say that? I have been to Washington DC over 200 times in my lifetime. When I would go there for business or for Navy, I would mostly stay in Virginia. I was there so much one year, I was afraid I would have to pay Virginia state taxes.

Now, what does that story have to do with the price of tea in China? Only this - I believe I got to know the State of Virginia. The people. The culture. Even though Virginia was one of the 13 Confederate States, it never felt that southern to me. And it certainly never felt redneck. I worked with all kinds of people, from all races, and never witnessed any discrimination.

After reading and watching the news this week, I guess I might have been wrong. Especially about the state Democrats. "Black face"? Really? Well, the Governor and Attorney General said (even though innocent), it was from the 80's, man! You know - back then, everybody did it as a joke. It was nothing personal. 

Well here is a news flash. When I was growing up in the 60's, I never saw ANYONE do "black face". Why? First, it is not funny. Not then, not now. Second, even back in my time, it would have been considered to be inappropriate. For these three Democrats holding high office in Virginia, two accused of using "black face" (or white hood) in college, and the other forcing oral sex on a woman at the DNC convention in 2004 - it is time to go.

Right now, the DNC powers that be are pooping tacks about this issue. From a PR perspective, it is killing the Democrats. How in the world can they keep accusing the Republicans of being racists and sexists, when they have these three stooges running Virginia government? Plus (and this is the cherry on the pie), the next in line to be Governor of Virginia after these three are gone - is a Republican. Oh, the irony!

Virginia, time to grow up. Purge all these dastardly Democrats from your system and let the grownups once again be in charge. You are better than this Virginia - much better.
