I have given this one much thought this morning. After reading all the news articles, I have decided to put this video out. I just hope someone in the Trump campaign sees it. I will vote for him, as I said in the video; if he is still on the ticket in November. But, at this point, I just do not see a Trump win.
Good morning from Detroit, it’s 4:28 a.m. and my body clock has been turning somersaults as of late. So, I am up rather early. Hopefully, I get this straightened out.
Memeorandum, which is a pretty cool site and a good tool for bloggers; is reporting this morning that a bunch of woman are reporting that Donald Trump did some pretty bad stuff to them.
This, my friends, is problematic. There is a third rail in politics and that is sexual abuse, of any sort. Both parties are that way, and if you hit that rail, you will end up without a political career. This is nothing new, it has been this way for many, many decades.
Even Pat Buchanan, who is a very sane voice in the conservative movement and one of Trump’s biggest supporters; is beginning to concede that Trump’s path to the White House might be drying up, speaking on this very subject, he says:
Trump exposed the fraudulence of the Clintons’ clucking concern for sexually abused women, brought Pence back into camp, turned the tables and changed the subject from the Trump tapes to the Trump triumph at Washington University.
Upshot: The Donald is alive.
While his path to 270 electoral votes still looks more than problematic, there is a month to go before the election, and anything can happen.
Indeed, it already has — many times.
Indeed, it is a month out, and anything can happen; it is not looking good from the realist standpoint. That being said, I am still voting for him; because I cannot, in good conscience, vote for that dreadful woman. I would be going against everything I know to be right, to do so.

You reap, what you sow…:
In April I went into the hospital and stayed there a week. Subsequently, I have gone back numerous times. In fact, I have spent more time in the hospital this year than all the rest of my life combined. My lungs were filling with clots and I could barely breath. By the time I got admitted, my blood-oxygen level was below 90%. While I was there, doctors found a tumor in my wife’s right lung. In June, she had it removed and on the day of surgery the doctors found a new growth on her left lung. The one was removed on a Tuesday and the other that Friday. My wife, it turns out, has a very uncommon form of lung cancer that only affects non-smoking women. – Source: If I Die Before You Wake… | The Resurgent
I wish that I could sit here and write that I felt a slight twinge of sympathy for this man. But, if I wrote that, I would be straight up lying. This man allowed on his former blog; which he started and ultimately got a financial bail out from Townhall, because of his inability to run an effective business — his users to smear me, lie about me and defame me on a regular basis. I have no pity for him at all. You allow bad things to happen to other people, bad things happen to you. It is Biblical:
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. – (Galatians 6:7-8 KJV)
Right now, this man, is reaping what he sowed.

I have to say, the so-called “Christian Right” has fallen away from what it once was in the 1980’s. As you know, and as I blogged about at about four this morning, Trump got caught on a hot mic saying some pretty nasty stuff about a woman.
This is what amazes me to no end. The so-called “Christian Right” has pretty shrugged the shoulders and said, “Oh Well…”.
Click here for the story via the Daily Beast. I shall quote some interesting parts:
The fact that Donald Trump said in 2005 that he could grab women “by the p*ssy” because he’s famous doesn’t seem to be changing how social conservative leaders feel about him.
Evangelicals who opposed him before still aren’t fans. And the ones in his camp aren’t phased by the recording. That’s because this isn’t about how much they like the brash billionaire; it’s about how unflinching they are in their opposition to Hillary Clinton.
“People of faith are voting on issues like who will protect unborn life, defund Planned Parenthood, defend religious liberty and oppose the Iran nuclear deal,” said Ralph Reed, who heads the Faith & Freedom Coalition. “A ten-year-old tape of a private conversation with a talk show host ranks low on their hierarchy of concerns.”
This whole thing that I just quoted above, encapsulates the entire downfall and compromise of the Evangelical Christian right. Now, I happen to be 44 years old and I remember the Reagan era very well and I remember the militancy of the Christian Right. Could you imagine, if you are old enough to recall; what would have happened to Ronald Reagan, if something like that would have broken, during his bid for the Presidency? Ronald Reagan would have been shamed out of the Presidential race in an instant!
The reasoning for this reasoning of this, “eh, it happens” stance, is this:
Robert Jeffress, the pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas and a member of Trump’s Evangelical Executive Advisory Board, said the comments were “lewd, offensive, and indefensible.”
But, he added, he’s still voting Trump. He said he moderated a meeting between the candidate and Evangelical and Catholic leaders, and he was forthright about his hesitations about Trump’s moral
“I said at that time, with Trump sitting next to me, I would not necessarily choose this man to be my child’s Sunday School teacher,” Jeffress said. “But that’s not what this election is about.”
He added that he doesn’t think Hillary Clinton is morally superior to Trump.
“Here is a woman who lied to the families of the Benghazi victims, she destroyed 33,000 emails while under subpoena, and she’s attacked the women who attacked her husband,” he said. “The fact is we’re all sinners, we all need forgiveness, and God doesn’t grade people according to their level of sin.”
And David Bozell, a Roman Catholic who heads the conservative group ForAmerica and supports Trump, said the audio won’t change how conservative voters view the candidate.
“Bill Clinton’s history of being a sexual predator, including affairs with interns, dwarfs any locker room banter,” he said. “The clip is unfortunate, but then again, we’re not electing saints in November.”
Unbelievable. The reasoning is, “Donald Trump is pretty bad; But Hillary Clinton is worse.” This is a fatal flaw and bad reasoning. It also is a sure sign of the apostasy within the ranks of the Evangelical Church.
Now, do not misunderstand me here; I am voting for Trump and I will be holding my nose. However, as a Christian and an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist; I would expect those who claim to represent me and my beliefs to at least take more of a stand on an issue much as this one.

I said it a long while back on this blog and it turns out that I was absolutely correct.
It appears that the media has dug something up about Donald Trump that has him reeling and apologizing.
If anything, it shows a desperation of the liberal-left and possibly those on the neocon right to stop this guy from being president of the United States.
I just hope it doesn’t damage Trump fatally; because I don’t think this country could handle Hillary Clinton presidency.
