What the heck was Donald Trump thinking when he did this?!?!?!

Oh my goodness…. 🙄

The headlines speak for themselves:

You see, this stuff right here, is basically why I backed away from formally endorsing Trump. I think at this point, it is safe to assume Trump, at some point, is going to flame out. As for James Edwards, he is unapologetic.

How stupid. 🙄 As I said in my video; I will be voting for him in the primary. But, this was incredibly dumb.

 

 

Reuters: U.N. puts harsh new sanctions on North Korea drafted by U.S., China

This could be a double edged sword:

The United Nations Security Council on Wednesday unanimously adopted a resolution that dramatically expands existing U.N. sanctions on North Korea in response to its Jan. 6 nuclear test, a measure largely negotiated by Washington and Beijing.U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said the new sanctions on Pyongyang go further than any U.N. sanctions regime in two decades and are aimed at cutting off funds for its nuclear and other banned weapons programs.Under the sanctions, all cargo going to and from North Korea must be inspected and North Korean trade representatives in Syria, Iran and Vietnam are among 16 individuals added to a U.N. blacklist, along with 12 North Korean entities.Previously states only had to inspect North Korean cargo shipments if they had reasonable grounds to believe they contained illicit goods. – Source: U.N. imposes harsh new sanctions on North Korea drafted by U.S., China | Reuters

The reason why I say that this could be a double edged sword is that Kim Jong-un has been known, much like his Father; to be an unstable leader. This could lead to more rockets being fired into South Korea. Which could lead to South Korea going to war, which they have said that they would be willing to do. Park Geun-hye has stated that she will defend her Country if needed. If you read her bio, you will fully understand why. To say, that she personally has been affected by North Korea’s lunacy, would be an understatement.

So, I would say, that it would be a good idea to keep an eye on that little situation.

Kudos to Paul Ryan

My comments on House Speaker Paul Ryan condemnation of Donald Trump’s reluctance to disavow support from extremist groups. But first, the video and story.

The Video:

The Story via Politico:

Speaker Paul Ryan offered a rebuke of Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying that any candidate hoping to be the GOP’s presidential nominee needs to “reject” bigotry.

The comments came after Trump failed to disavow the Ku Klux Klan and an endorsement by former KKK leader David Duke during a CNN interview this week. After answering a question on CNN about the white supremacist by saying he doesn’t “know anything about David Duke, OK?,” Trump later blamed a faulty earpiece for his remark.

The flap has created a major firestorm for the GOP as voters in 11 states prepare to cast primary ballots in Super Tuesday races.

Ryan, who didn’t mention Trump by name, told reporters that “no evasions and no games” could be used by anyone seeking the Republican nomination when it comes to hateful comments and racism.

“If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican Party, there can be no evasions and no games. They must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry. This party does not prey on people’s prejudices,” the former vice presidential candidate said.

He added, “We appeal to their highest ideals. This is the party of Lincoln. We believe that all people are created equal in the eyes of God and the government. This is fundamental.”

The remarks of the Republican Speaker of the House are an example to those wishing to enter Republican politics and everyone, Republican and Democrat alike should follow it. I only wish that there were others in the in the Republican Party who felt the same way.

Paul Ryan is correct in his assessment. The Republican Party is the party of Lincoln. The Republican Party was the party that debated Stephen A. Douglas, a Democrat, over the issue of slavery. Unfortunately, since that time, many things have happened: The New Deal, The Great Society, and The Civil Rights Act — all of which begat, The Southern Strategy.

These political policies and outright exploitation of these issues, have led to the pitting of classes and races of people against each other. Both of the political parties are guilty, they have done it and now; we have a Presidential candidate that finds himself being attacked, by the same people who created this entire culture and they want him to give obeisance.

The political chess game has started; I just hope that Trump has a better game than the accusers do.

Quote of the day

The Bernie Sanders insurgency appears to have been turned back by the vested interests of his party. But like the George McGovern insurgency in ’72, which also relied heavily upon the enthusiasm of the young, Sanders’ socialism may be the ideological future of his party.

The same may be said of the Trump insurgency. Whatever happens at Cleveland, the returns from the primaries look like the passing of the old order, the death rattle of an establishment fighting for its life, and being laughed at and mocked as it goes down.

As in 1964 and 1980, a new Republican Party is taking shape.

Defections are to be expected, and not altogether unwelcome.

More interesting reading about the neocon panic over @RealDonaldTrump

I wrote previously about the neocon, Trotskyite panic that is happening in the Republican Party.

Here is more about it, check out: Why Trump Is Panicking Robert Kagan | The National Interest

Needless to say, from now to the election in November is going to be very interesting. Not to mention from now till the end of the primaries.

 

 

Heh…..

I happen to look at my blog’s back-end and I happen to see this:

Obviously someone doesn't like me!
Obviously someone doesn’t like me!

Someone must have come to my little humble blog, didn’t like it’s contents and went through the trouble to make a fake referral; so that I would see the referral and the insult. 🙄  I’m almost…touched. 😉 😛

Well, fella, next time you want to call me a “slimball babtist fool” you could at least spell it right! 😆

Too funny, wish I knew where it came from, because I’d publish his IP for all to see.

The things we pro-trump bloggers must endure! Ha!

The Neocon Trotskyist Attacks Start on Donald Trump

Just as I predicted last night, the neoconservative Trotskyist attacks have begun. They are of course, lead by a one William Kristol; who is the son of one of the men, who pressured George W. Bush to invade and occupy Iraq — Irving Kristol. These two are of the “Ethnicity that shall never be named“, of course. So, it is natural that they would be adverse to any sort of American Nationalism.

Kristol mocking a Christian pastor by the name of Pat Robertson writes:

‘You inspire us all.” With that fulsome greeting, Pat Robertson welcomed Donald Trump this week to the stage of Regent University. According to the school’s catalogue, the university’s name invokes the fact that “a regent is one who represents Christ, our Sovereign, in whatever sphere of life he or she may be called to serve Him.” We leave it to others to decide what sovereign Donald Trump has served in his life. We will simply note that Trump seems not merely an all-too-human example of one who has on occasion fallen into the grip of some of the seven deadly sins. He seems rather a veritable apostle of most of them. A proud defender of greed, an unabashed indulger in adultery, a wanton mocker of the meek (the “losers”) of this world, Donald Trump does not inspire us.

The Trotskyite goes to say that Donald Trump does not fit his Globalist, Wilsonian Agenda:

Fine sentiments. But here’s the reality: If we nominate Donald Trump, we’re choosing the nominee who is the least likely to defeat the Democratic candidate. If we were to elect him, we’d be placing our trust in a chief executive who’s shown zero interest during his long career in shaking up Washington. And if we swear him in, we’ll have a commander in chief who is seemingly more enamored of our enemies (Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad) than of a recent president of the United States, whom he accuses (falsely) of knowingly lying the country into war.

Oh man, we can hear Trump enablers say: You just don’t get it! You’re out of touch. Your points might once have been relevant. But we’ve moved on from the politics of the past. Trump is different. He’s broken all the old rules. We live in a new world. You’re making analog arguments in a digital age. You’re obsessing about evidence in an age of appearance. You’re worrying about character in a time of celebrity. Your concerns are anachronistic, your opposition futile. “You better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone / For the times they are a-changin’.”

So they say. But here’s our response: The times may be changing, but principles don’t. We choose not to dive into the infinity pool of Donald Trump’s Republican party. The water in the pool might seem refreshing, even cleansing, at first. But in truth, Trump’s waters are cold, shallow, and not fit to swim in. Rather than join the crowd and go with the flow, we choose to make our stand on dry land, with flags flying and guns blazing.

But let’s not jump the gun. So far, after the first four contests and before Super Tuesday on March 1, Donald Trump has won an impressive but not conclusive 32.7 percent of the 1.3 million or so votes cast. (Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have gotten about 20 percent each.) There has been almost no negative advertising from super-PACs and campaigns against Trump. The mainstream media have given Trump an amazingly easy ride. Weak-kneed conservatives, desperate to sidle up to the winner, have made extraordinary excuses for him. And he’s still beatable.

But he won’t be defeated if no one tries to defeat him. Surely it’s worth fighting to save a respectable political party, an admirable political movement, and a great country from a charlatan and a demagogue. There’s nothing inspiring about the appeasement of Donald Trump. It’s the fight to defeat Donald Trump that should now inspire us all.

Yes, Mr. Kristol it is a battle and it is one, that I will wage personally against you and your Trotskyite followers until the day of the general election. You and your late Father, along with Norman and John Podhoretz were one of the biggest reasons that the Republican Party turned into a Wilsonian cesspool that it is today.

You and your globalist friends have always been proponents of free trade — that has utterly decimated the Detroit area and surrounding communities here, where I live. Therefore, it is natural that you and your bankster and elitist friends in high places of power find Trump a threat to your trust funds and piles of money that you have obtained by ill-gotten gains. Ill-gotten gains provided to you, on the backs of 4,425 dead American Soldiers and 32,223 wounded, and counting.

You see, my friends, I was not always a conservative blogger. I was one of the many Americans, out of a job, feeling very frustrated with George W. Bush’s moving of the goal posts in Iraq and extremely ticked off, because of George W. Bush, and Donald Rumsfeld’s handling of the War in Iraq. Therefore in 2006, I started a blog. When I first started out, I made alliances with the Democratic Party left, something that I deeply regret today. As the Democratic Party, was no more interested in stopping that war, than the Neoconservative Republicans were — because it made for a good wedge issue for them.

It was sometime in 2007, when I discovered the writings of a true conservative — Mr. Patrick J. Buchanan and that was my “Ah-Ha!” moment. I knew that somewhere out there, was a true conservative, who agreed with me, on things like Immigration, Trade, the Iraq War, the Bush Administration and many other subjects and issues of importance.

It was from there, that I began to research the true roots of conservatism and as I learned, it was not the values shared by the likes Kristol and Podhoretz. Theirs were values that were trumpeted by the Democratic Party prior to the Vietnam War and the rise the values heralded by the 1960’s counter-culture. This being Wilsonian foreign policy, which was a staple of the Democratic Party until the big switch that took place around that era and onward into the Carter era.

This, my friends, is why I will be voting for Donald Trump in the primary and, God willing, in the general election — not because he is a perfect Republican, whatever that means anymore. I will vote for Donald Trump, because Donald Trump will stand up against these monsters in the ivory towers and inform them that America and its people are taking back control of their government from them and are going to fix the mess that they created. This mess was not just created by President Obama, this mess goes back to end of the Kennedy era and the creation of the “great society” championed by President Johnson. Little by little, brick by brick — these monsters destroyed our Nation —- Republicans and Democrats alike, did destroy the Nation — All in the name bipartisanship and for the so-called “greater good” of the nation.

Therefore, yes, I will vote for Donald Trump and I will write against any of those who engage in slanderous attacks against Donald Trump, for whatever reason — whether it is ethnic, political, or personal. I will defend him from those sorts of attacks. I am not a fanboy or paid propagandist and I do not wear rose-colored classes, when it comes to Trump. I am not bought by Trump; my political opinion is not for sale, at all. When Trump screws up and believe me, Trump has really blown it in some areas; I will write about it and express my displeasure with it.

However, when it comes to important issues that all Americans should be concerned about; Trade, Immigration, Our Vets, and all the rest of the issues that the Trump campaign is championing, consider me on the team that will defend America. I will defend America with every fiber of my being and with every bit of bandwidth of this blog, from now, until the end of the primary season and of God’s grace allows, until the general election.

With that, I am voting for Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America.
