A blue sea of useful idiots...

"Solution? VOTE! Not only vote, but contribute. Help out. Mailers, phone banks, door to door visits. There are more of us than there are of them. But if half our people stay home because they think this election is "in the bag", we could lose the day."

Hard to believe that November is coming up so fast. One might be tempted to think, "So what? With how good things are going right now, re-election is in the bag." And it should be. But there is a random variable which is counter intuitive to us winning. It is called blue voters. Lots and lots of blue voters. Uninformed blue voters. Useful idiot blue voters. Felons, illegals, dead people, frauds, you name it. The Democrat Party is going to throw everything at this election, save the kitchen sink. Why? They can't win on the issues. So they will try and win the old fashioned way - by cheating.

It really is astonishing when I hear some of the socialists in Congress. They sound just like many folks in urban areas, when they discuss politics. They are uninformed, ignorant, and selfish. Not what is best for the country - what is best for them. It is the polar opposite of what JFK talked about. And because they are ignorant, and many are generational useful idiots, logic escapes them. They would vote for a ham sandwich if it was on the blue ticket. And they are lead by the people who want to run (and ruin) the country. Schiff, Nadler, Waters, Farticus, Pelosi, Biden - the list goes on to the horizon.

Last night, I saw a ray of hope. During the championship game, right before the colors and anthem, POTUS and FLOTUS arrived and were introduced. This packed Superdome, packed with mostly college kids, erupted in cheers. Not jeers, but cheers. Then the chants of "USA, USA" could be heard. Maybe even a "Four more years!" could be heard. Why? These are normal people, people who are paying attention. And for them, this President is loved. The people KNOW what he has done for this country. They appreciate it. They want more of it. They can see that America is great and greater again.

Tonight is the final Democrat debate. It is where six of the remaining socialists/progressives will tell the American people how bad things really are in the country. That the Trump recovery is only for the rich people. The "real" people in whoville, are still suffering. They can't make ends meet. It is only by socialism, where everything is free, that this "blue sea of useful idiots can make it". How in the world did these people get this way? Who knows. Lousy educations for starters. But whatever, this thinking is toxic for a free country.

A pundit was on one of the news shows last night. He was warning the citizens and patriots about this growing blue sea of useful idiots. He was warning if their numbers grew large enough, and if too many patriots took this election for granted, the Democrats could actually capture the White House. Yes, as hard as it is to believe, one of the misfits who will be on stage tonight, could end up being President.

Solution? VOTE! Not only vote, but contribute. Help out. Mailers, phone banks, door to door visits. There are more of us than there are of them. But if half our people stay home because they think this election is "in the bag", we could lose the day. And if we lose the day, we lose the country. If that happens, there will be no one to blame but ourselves.  

A tale of the two drones....

"I have said this before, and it bears repeating. The Air Force needs to shoot one of these drones down without destroying it. Then we can get some clues to their origin."

An update on the drone(s) stories. Yes, we have two different drone stories we are following right now. The first is the real interesting one. It is an update on the mystery drones which have been plaguing areas of the west since late last year. The other is the exact opposite in being interesting. It is the drone of the US Congress. Yes, that be Nancy Pelosi. The woman who can drone on for hours about absolutely nothing.

First an update on the drone in Congress. The other week I actually had to unfriend someone. Why? She said two things which qualified her for the FB trashcan. To start with, she advocated for abortion rights on one of my threads. That in itself is a no-no. But then, with regards to Nancy Pelosi, she defended her. Said the Speaker was "highly accomplished". That sealed the deal. I hit the FB flush lever and she was gone.

In any event, the drone of Congress might, just might, send over the articles of impeachment today. I am sorry - was that yawning I just heard? Probably was. She has droned on for months now about this sham impeachment. On the news this morning, one of the pundits said that probably nine times as many people in this country care more about the break up of the royal family, than care about this sham impeachment. But who really cares? The drone of Congress will continue to drone on about this issue until we are all bored out of our skulls.

Now for the interesting drone story - the drones out west. Yes, they are still out there. A few days ago, a medical helicopter on a emergency run, had a close call with one. At about 700 feet in altitude. A special plane has been dispatched to look for these drones, to try and figure out who they belong to, and what their purpose is. Here is what I find unsettling. We have drones flying around our airspace, with no (we assume) authorization to do so. We don't have a clue right now who they belong to. In these days of living in the War on Terror, I find that unsettling. Not that they belong to terrorists, but as of right now, we have no clue WHO they belong to.

I have said this before, and it bears repeating. The Air Force needs to shoot one of these drones down without destroying it. Then we can get some clues to their origin. We owe that to all Americans, especially the ones living out west who have been putting up with these things for weeks on end now. In any event, that mystery continues to live on.

Even though the western drones continue to play peek-a-boo with us, the drone of Congress is more than happy to drone on in front of us, 24 X 7. This week, I expect to see her face, and hear her shaky voice on media quite a bit. That by itself is enough to drive me to watch re-runs of McHale's Navy instead of the news. More on both these drone events later. Or not. 

Can Iran come back to us?

"I see Iran being ripe for revolution right now. Anything we can do to help the rebellion would be great. Rather than us cutting the head off the snake, it would be so much better for the people of Iran to take back their own country."

Just over 40 years ago, the wheels came off the country of Iran. Why? Maybe part of it was the Shah's fault. Living too large while the rest of the country did not. Maybe part of it was the university's fault by teaching false history. In any event, the country decided to cast off its love for the 20th century, adopt a theocracy, and venture back into the 8th century. It seems that even though hidden well from the world press, there is an undercurrent of dissent in Iran. Seems many of the folks with long memories, plus some of the young ones with no memories, want Iran put back the way it once was.

Iran's theocratic leadership decided long ago, their calling card would be state sponsored terrorism. And they have done it well. Too well. So well in fact, their military got a bit trigger happy using some Russian made surface to air missiles, right after the missile attack on some Iraqi bases housing Americans. Even though this missile attack did not hurt or kill any Americans, they did shoot down an Ukraine airliner shortly after takeoff. It was loaded with innocent passengers. Not only were 63 Canadians killed in the crash of this plane, but also a dozen or so students from the university. 

I know, I know - accidents happen. It happened with us, when the USS Vincennes accidentally shot down a Iranian passenger jet in 1988. We did a mea culpa to the Iranians, and paid the families of the victims compensation. But this was different. It certainly was different to the students in Iran. This corrupt government of theirs, who is giving them nothing but misery right now due to the sanctions imposed by the United States and a few other bold other countries, killed innocent Iranian students. For many in Iran, enough is enough!

For patriots in this country, for lovers of freedom and liberty world wide, the past few months have been exhilarating. Why? Look at the young people in Hong Kong. By definition, Chinese residents. They want NO PART of the corrupt government in China. They want freedom. They want freedom the United States way. Why else would they be carrying our flags and singing our anthem while protesting? And now Iran. With the protests of freedom loving young people in that country, a ray of hope has appeared. 

What does this tell us? The jack booted theocracy in Iran, and the jack booted communist dictatorship in China does not sit well with many. One of the reasons Ronald Reagan thought it was important for the world see us as the "shining city on the hill", is for freedom to be seen for what it is. There is no reason for any people to be subjugated to an oppressive government. Why? All men (and women), are born free. Someone just has to take that freedom away from them. Or, as in many cases, that freedom is surrendered by a people to a heartless and ruthless government. 

Those who are anti-Second Amendment, pay attention - this part is for you. When we look over the world, as well as looking back in history, most brutal dictatorships start out by "un-evening" the odds. And the best way to do that, is to disarm the public. Our Founders knew that would always be the case. That is why the Second Amendment was put in our founding documents. That is why it is the ONLY article which has the caveat, "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED".

I see Iran being ripe for revolution right now. Anything we can do to help the rebellion would be great. Rather than us cutting the head off the snake, it would be so much better for the people to take back their own country. A free Iran would take the temperature in the Middle East down about a hundred degrees. The world needs that. We need that. And Iran needs that.    

  

Life in Wonderland - or is it Oz?

"This did not happen over night. It happened because America took its eye off the ball. It happened in the school systems, the colleges, the city halls. Soon, the contagion of socialism and ignorance had spread across the land, and it started looking for a warm and moist place to grow and fester. It then found the Democrat Party. And that is how we got to where we are today."

I would like to go back in time, maybe just a few decades, and catch the proverbial "man on the street". I would describe what is going on today in our world/country. After a short while, he would want my head examined. Why? First off, what is happening today makes no sense. None, what so ever.

I would tell him, we are probably going to start an impeachment trial next week, on a President who has committed no crime. A President who is trying to stare down Iran as well as other bad actors, so we don't have to fire any missiles or bullets in anger at them. A President who has brought us the greatest economy in perhaps - forever.

What we should be doing for Donald Trump, rather than putting him on trial in the Senate, is prepping Mount Rushmore for another head. This man is a leader like no other we have had. Yes, I am throwing Ronald Reagan in the mix - and I loved the Gipper!

The "man in the street" from a few decades ago would ask me why we are doing what we are doing. I would explain to him that the country is fractured. The last President we had really did a number on us. Democrats are no longer democrats. They have morphed into socialists, and one of the leading candidates for President (on the Democrat side) is a 100% socialist. At that point in time, the "man in the street" will wonder if I escaped from Wonderland or Oz. That type of thing CANNOT happen in the United States of America! At that point in time, I really tell him the bad news.

First the good news. The President and Vice President we have right now are excellent. If we re-elect them, we can have them for four more years. But there is another side to this coin. And it is very bad news. The number three person in succession to the White House, is still the Speaker of the House. And in 2020, we have a doozie. She is old, vicious, and could not put a sentence together if her life depended on it. SHE is the one driving the train on having our innocent President impeached. If for some reason, she ever gained control of this country, we, as well as our fantastic economy would be doomed. She may not be a socialist like Bernie is, but very close to it.

By now, the "man in the street" is ready to jump off a building. In his mind he is thinking, "This cannot be our future!". But it can be sir - and it is. Right now the country is on the verge of a "hot" civil war. We have been in a "cold" civil war since Barack Obama took our country in a very bad direction, and further divided us six ways from Sunday.

I would then tell the "man in the street" this, and this one is really going to hurt. It is your fault this happened. As he looks at me with saucer eyes and a wide open mouth, I would continue - "This did not happen over night. It happened because America took its eye off the ball. It happened in the school systems, the colleges, the city halls. Soon, the contagion of socialism and ignorance had spread across the land, and it started looking for a warm and moist place to grow and fester. It then found the Democrat Party. And that is how we got to where we are today."

2020 is the year we can beat back this contagion. We can escape from Wonderland and Oz. We can elect grown ups who have grown up beliefs to run this  country, and send the socialists scurrying. Unfortunately, the "man in the street" from decades ago, can't do anything. Time has passed him by. But we can. Our future is in our hands. We need to take back the country. Now.    

The Trump Doctrine

"Well, that is it folks. The Trump Doctrine. I love it. I hope future Presidents also use it. Somehow, even with a hateful Congress, the President will make it work. Why? He knows his number one task is keeping America safe. And he will."

Well, ladies and gentlemen - for those who were paying attention so far during this young year, have seen history revealed itself once again. We had a chance to see what the Trump Doctrine is. When he was elected, he made it quite clear that getting involved in nation building, or fighting in endless wars, was not his thing. Except nation building. Only for this nation, that is. Other than that, he took this thorny issue he got handed from Obama (that be North Korea), and tried a different highway with Chairman Kim. Did that work? Not yet. But, time will tell.

Let's look at the last three Presidents, concerning their doctrines. First the Bush (43) Doctrine. He was handed a mess shortly after he took office. That would be 9/11. So his plans for his first term changed considerably. He had to become a war fighter, and fast. So the Bush Doctrine became unilateralism and the use of preventive war (per Wiki). And if I might add - the Left hated it, and hated him for it. They hated Bush more than they hated Al Qaeda. 

The Obama Doctrine. Anyone care to fill in the blanks? I did a search on his doctrine and found zip. So, I will come up with some. I would use global citizen (over American citizen), and appeaser. What he and Kerry did with Iran shortly before he left office was nothing less than appeasement. But that is the way he rolled. Mr. "lead from behind" Obama. Other than killing a few hundred bad guys via our drone system - during his administration, the Russians, the Chinese, and the Iranians all went to town. And those are just the nations which did. ISIS also went to town. When the sheriff dozes off, the bad guys like to ransack the banks in town.

Now the fun one. The Trump Doctrine. It should have been a doctrine decades ago. If a nation state sponsors terrorism, either directly or through a proxy, and through the actions of that nation state, if any American is killed or wounded, the United States will unleash hell on that nation state. It is so simple, that even a terrorist can understand it. Don't believe it? Ask General Soleimani (or what is left of him). 

President Trump has been quite clear on this issue. Using our intel, our eyes in the sky, our military, when a terror event happens, it will take next to nothing to find out who is responsible. And once we find out, bad things will happen to that nation state - immediately. Trump's idea of a war like response is quick and deadly. The new definition of "shock and awe". 

Will any bad guys test this new sheriff with his new doctrine? I think we can count on it. The President has said many times (said it again yesterday), we have the finest military in the world, but he would prefer not using it. However, if he has to use it, he will unleash hell on the bad guy(s). 

BTW - Nancy Pelosi and some of the traitors in Congress, the ones who always side with the bad guys, are trying to handcuff the President from protecting this country. To neuter his ability to execute this new doctrine. Why? You will have to ask Ms. Nancy. Most of us think like patriots, not traitors.

Well, that is it folks. The Trump Doctrine. I love it. I hope future Presidents also use it. Somehow, even with a hateful Congress, the President will make it work. Why? He knows his number one task is keeping America safe. And he will.

Behold, our present and future leader!

"Donald Trump is our President. He is our leader in the present and in the future. Thank God for that! He is not only making America great again, he is allowing America to be America once again."

Once again, the mind of Donald Trump moves at warp speed, while his adversary's minds are not even in impulse power. I mean - this in not even close. Trump is not much of a politician (thank God!), so he can call a spade a spade without worrying about the repercussions. His speech today about the Iran situation may not have been his most eloquent, but it touched all the bases - more than once. He called out the bad guys and named names. Both in Iran and in this country.

Those who hate Donald Trump will always hate him. Why? For the same reasons that so many people hate Tom Brady. He has a beautiful wife, and until this year, most always wins. Brady has the rings to prove how much he as won in the past.

I have always thought people who have visceral hatred for this President are only peeing in the wind. They are only wetting themselves. Why is that? Donald Trump is tough as nails. He can take it. He has for years. He knows what needs to be done, and how to do it. There is nothing which means more to him (outside of faith and family), than making this country great and greater again. And if it cost him a good part of his fortune - so be it.

I have admitted to this before. I was not a Donald Trump guy in the beginning. I wanted Ted Cruz. When Donald Trump won the nomination, I knew I would vote for him. Main reason - much better than Hillary. But in this past three plus years, this man Donald Trump has revealed himself to me. More and more, month by month, I saw his genius and leadership. I have seen how he can work with people who want to be helpful, and how he can play people who want to hurt him or the country. Love him or not, he has made this country great again. We are once again the city on the hill, for all to see.

Back to Iran for a minute. The biggest threat Iran has posed in the past 40 plus years, is closing down the Straights of Hormuz. Now that President Trump has given us energy independence, it is like, go ahead Iran - close it down. You will only be hurting yourself. We on the other hand, will be fine. 

We have the best economy (sorry China, ours is better when you take everything into consideration). We have the best military. The best sciences. The best innovators. The best standard of living. The best of just about everything. As tired as people are of hearing about the "Roaring Twenties, Part 2", they really are going to be roaring. Why? Trump is not only a business man, and a man of vision - he is a man of peace. Peace and prosperity. The Nobel Peace Prize went to Obama for doing NOTHING (except blowing up hundreds of people with drone missiles). Donald Trump on the other hand DESERVES ONE!

Go ahead Trump haters and TDS minions - pile on. I don't care. I feel the same way that millions of other red blooded Americans feel right now. Donald Trump is our President. He is our leader in the present and in the future. Thank God for that! He is not only making America great again, he is allowing America to be America once again,

  

A REAL modern day mystery!

"I have a hard time believing that if our government was behind these drones, the FBI would not know about it. Or the FAA. Or the Air Force. It would be unsettling to know that our air space is being penetrated by aircraft of an unknown origin."

Some are aware of this, others may not be. There is a honest to goodness mystery happening over the western plains right now. Specifically, in Nebraska and Colorado. Drones. Not the hobby kind, are flying in grid patterns over large tracts of land (and some cities) at night. This has been going on for many weeks now, and many phone calls have been made to the authorities. So far - the answer to this mystery is just a blank page.

This ranks right up there with mass UFO sightings in my book. Lots of witnesses, no answers. Right now, the Air Force, the FBI, and the FAA are involved. Nobody is claiming responsibility, and nobody knows who might be behind these things. Many residents who have called in, said they fly in a "formation", and fly in swarms. Some have grown so tired of these things, they have been tempted to "shoot one down", to see who is behind this mystery. 

Me? I am behind the "shoot one down" crowd. Not with a gun, have the Air Force do it with an F-16. I think if they could get one of these drones on the ground, much could be learned to solve this mystery. Or not. If after investigating a downed drone, no intel could be obtained, this rabbit hole just got a whole lot deeper.

When this story first broke in November or December, I really thought it would only a day or two when the mystery was solved. Although the mystery of the jets flying in search patterns over California last fall was never fully explained either. So, what is going on? Some think these drones are part of the NEST program, either looking for, or training to look for stolen nuclear material. Others have taken a step further into the wild side. These drones, as well as the flights over California, are looking for DUMS (Deep Underground Military Sites) which may have been compromised. Compromised by whom? Good question.

I have a hard time believing that if our government was behind these drones, the FBI would not know about it. Or the FAA. Or the Air Force. It would be unsettling to know that our air space is being penetrated by aircraft of an unknown origin. Then I get back to shooting one down. If these could be either friend or foe, it is time to find out. 

Anyhow, I am not really following this story, but it does pop up on a weekly basis on either my Bing or Drudge feeds. So, I read the updates to see if we have solved this mystery as yet. The fact the FBI has been dragged into this and also have drawn a blank, has further stirred my interest. I will keep an eye on this and post updates if any of value come forward.
