SADNESS… YEAR OF OUR LORD, 2021

 As I watched my favorite source of information today, (1/6/2021), I saw a group of people with good cause become infected with the same evil that we saw in those who have spent the last two, or more, years destroying cities, businesses, in the name of protest by violence, looting, and shootings.  It is totally unfortunate that some have become mirrored versions of the same mobs that we have been against.  It is sad that the majority of those who believe in the rule of law and democracy will be stained with the paint of a few.  Let's face it, what happened this week in our capital was not a one-day event. It was not JUST the result of one speech, one tweet, one disappointment, one slur, it was the result of five years of acrimonious activity culminating in a result covered in doubt. 

In the previous Presidential election (2016) we elected a non-politician, and instead of supporting him as our President, he was attacked constantly and consistently for the duration of his tenure.  If we were to look at the explosive events of Wednesday being a result rather than an event, it might make more sense.  The result of all this “Russia collusion”, liar, liar pants on fire, attacking of our President resulted in pent up anger towards the weight of those spewing the hatred toward President Trump, namely those folks he threatened with shining light on their games. What took place in the hearts of some 70 million members of our society was similar to someone filling a balloon with gasoline, it had to burst at some point in time.  The last drop of gasoline was forced into the balloon during the unbelievable election of Joe Biden and when it was not allowed to be questioned, for the legality of the process, one too many drops caused an explosion.   As in most explosions, more than one thing was damaged, sadly it gave President Trumps’ enemies an opportunity to say, I told you so.

Under the strength of a President that put our country and our society as a priority, the United States of America, was steering toward a better place in the world in terms of economics, world peace, and improvement of living condition for all strata of our society, however, we were also shown how far we have removed ourselves from our roots.  We watched as the media, the body politic, entertainment, media, big tech, academia, and our in place bureaucracy attacked our president with a consistency of a starving animal on the hunt. 

The pandemic of Covid dealt a blow not just to our country but to the world, touching every continent on the planet.  Unfortunately, this occurred during a year that politics entered every nook and cranny of our land. The typical method of smearing a political opponent with every bit of innuendo, fact, and or fiction brought us to a position that has defiled the very existence of our country. 

The date January 6,2021is a point in time that will be written in history as a date of great awakening.  We had allowed our body politic to create a volcano of rot to infect our society. Our population no longer has any solid rock to stand on, instead of being able to find a source of fact and truth, we flail about blindly in a sea of propaganda, partial truths, and outright falsehoods.  The media is no longer a watchdog that we can rely upon to help us make logical and basic decisions.  Instead of giving us factual data they are propagandists dispelling whatever words will prop up their particular biases.

Don’t let Satan’s best weapon, the lie, turn us against our neighbor.  Don’t let anger infect our society.  Don’t let our enemy create doubt in the beauty of our system of governance.  Some may have cast votes against a personality instead of effectiveness of the persons results time will prove that as an error in judgement.

Quoted:

Trump said a LOT of crazy stuff in his tweets the past four years... Let's examine them;

He said: My offices are bugged. He was right.

He said: The FBI, CIA, DOJ and the Obama administration were plotting against him. He was right.

He said: The media both liberal and social are liars. He labeled them FAKE NEWS. He was right.

He said: Russian collision was a hoax. He was right.

He said: He could bring manufacturing back. He was right.

He said: If we build a wall and manage immigration it will create jobs. He was right.

He said: Joe and Hunter got rich off of shady corrupt deals with the Ukraine and China. He was right.

He said: New trade deals would be better for the people. He was right.

He said: Moving the embassy to Jerusalem would be the right decision. He was right

He said: getting us out of un-winnable wars would create peace. He was right.

He said: The Clintons were corrupt. He was right. And still are!

He said: Locking up minority’s for decades for non-violent offenses was wrong, so he changed it. He was right.

He said: Jobs are worth way more than welfare so he gave the people jobs.

He was right.

He said: Our Government is filled with corrupt people and he will fight to drain the swamp and right the wrongs. He is right.

President Trump has been right on just about everything he said. So when he says the election was rigged, I’ll bet my life on him being right. 74 million strong Sir, we got your back.

 

Personally, I think this President, Donald J. Trump will be looked at in history, as one of the most productive and important Presidents.

 

Mr. President, should you ever get an opportunity read this article, please know sir that your hard work will result in one of the most cohesive political movements since the first breath of our beautiful system of governance.  Those who oppose you today will be long passed in time, but your results will be in affect for centuries to come.  I believe God chose you for a particular time an d for purpose.  You have put light into hidden areas and shown us our enemy.

 it was our society that disappointed… Not you. 

God bless you sir you have blessed our country

THAT'S RICH FOLKS

 

WOW!

November 2020 saw the emergence of the first President of color put himself back into our national discourse.  Yep it was the same President, that the systemic racist WHITE folks in our country, voted to loan our white house too.  The same President who spent eight years in the White House setting the table for the election of President Donald J. Trump. “Is there anyone in our population who doesn’t recall who said “You can keep your doctor”?  Who said, “Ours will be the most transparent administration”?  Who was it that said “Hope and Change” would be a good thing.  In some states, if a car salesman made such statements and gave a similar grade of product in place of the car advertised, he might well face hefty fines and in egregious cases jailed for fraud.”*  

To listen to Mr. Obama call Donald Trump unqualified and unfit to be President is almost laughable were it not such a giant lapse of recall.  Mr. Obamas credentials and qualifications did not even exist at the time we elected him President.

Thanks to the standard bash Trump media, Past POTUS Obama once again stepped up to the camera’s eye, facing bravely, tough questions that would allow him opportunity, once again, to further bash the Trump presidency and Trump personally.  Mr. Obama, with sincere pompocity, said “he (President Trump), should “PUT COUNTRY FIRST”

Hearing Mr. Obama infer that President Trump is harming the office of President of the United States of America made even me doubt my memories abilities of recall.  Here are a few things, of many, that the Obama administration orchestrated: The international mea culpa tour**; Obamacare; one and one-half billion dollars to Iran; outsourcing of businesses to China; disruption of our relationship with Israel; re-establishing diplomatic relationship with Cuba; and the list goes on, and on, and on.

To hear Mr. Obama, chide our current President, touting the non-acceptance of the past election as being harmful to our system and to our country, was vomit inducing.  Mr. Obama kept his silence during the last four years of his Democrat Donkey Congress, the mass Media, the intelligentsia claiming the Trump presidency as illegitimate.  Where was his sage advise as he aided and ignored the fake Russia hoax in an attempt to disrupt the Trump administration?  Where was he as he listened to the media spew propagandic falsehood and innuendo backing up the false narrative?

The past President, as a constitutional lawyer, must be ashamed of himself as he tries to make us believe that Trumps efforts, to complete the election under the constitution, are not legitimate and called for by it.  I would hate to think that Mr. Obama is a liar.***

Mr. Obama “did not concentrate on improving race relationships in our country, improving the problems of his race within their own communities, showing young people the advantage of education,, exemplifying the opportunities provide for people of all color and creed within the boundaries of our great country. He did not use the strength and power of our country to make the world a better and safer place.  He did not provide a better standard of living for any section of our society.  He did not unify our country.  The list could go on ad infinitum.  Just ask yourself what would you have done?”****

For Mr. Obama to fly the “false flag” of patriotism, is a really rich way of calling all “WE THE PEOPLE” ignorant and to uneducated to recognize his attempts, to make his prejudice against our nation and its history cause a fundamental change for what it really was.

IT'S A OATH

 

Oath of Office for Members of Congress. “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.

support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic

IS THIS WHAT WE ARE GETTING?

The 12th Amendment to the Constitution,1 which supersedes Article II, § 1, clause 3, was adopted so as to make impossible the situation that occurred after the election of 1800 in which Jefferson and Burr received tie votes in the electoral college, thus throwing the selection of a President into the House of Representatives, despite the fact that the electors had intended Jefferson to be President and Burr to be Vice President.2 The difference between the procedure that the Amendment defines and the original is in its providing for a separate designation by the electors of their choices for President and Vice President, respectively. As a consequence of the disputed election of 1870, Congress enacted a statute providing that if the vote of a state is not certified by the governor under seal, it shall not be counted unless both Houses of Congress concur.3
A number of provisions of the Amendment have been superseded by the Twentieth Amendment.

While the oath of office does not mention the process of election or the measure of elections results on a national basis it does give that function to the states.  The thing it does mandate are the dates of performance.  It is my thought that when allegiance is promised, through oath, to the United States of America.  

ALLEGIANCE TO A POLITICAL PARTY SHOULD BE SUBSERVIENT TO THE NATIONAL NEEDS.

In order for our republic to survive there are certain things that we as “the people” should be able to trust, and in fact we should demand.  We, as “The People”, should demand a system that strives for the “every vote should count” requirement.  In order for that to occur we must use every possible method to ensure that accuracy in the count, adherence to the law, and collection methods are performed in an honest and factual way.  We know that mistakes can be made, unfortunately we also know that, over the last couple of centuries, irregularities and outright fraudulent practices can and have occurred.  It is imperative that we ferret out wrong doing in order to preserve our faith in the election process.  This is particularly true in the situation where we “The People” are so emotionally invested and divided in belief and practice.  Over the past few years, we have been under the attack of divisive and partisan political and media rhetoric which has led to actual violence in our streets.  That has resulted in the full-fledged doubt of our having a fair and honest election process.  Regardless of which President is actually elected as our Commander in Chief our faith in the process has been damaged.

Should we continue along the same path in our governmental deterioration, by the clapping and cheering  for the team play of political parties, lifelong political office holders, and adherence to ideology, our republic is in danger of obliteration.

How many of We The People are in favor of those who shout and scream:

We will change the United States; Defund the Police; Open our borders; Outsource our products; allow for the theft of our intellectual output; Remove our independence on energy production

Not I

LOSER LOSER

 Move along now... Nothing to see, hear, or speak about. Hold on for just a minute. Just coming in a report from Nevada... Registered Republicans, Ron and Catherine Burres did not receive any of the millions of mail-in ballots, (not even one). This translates to how many others with no transportation were able to vote. More now... newly registered Democrat younger member of the family received 3 (three) of the impartial mail-in ballots. hmmmmmmm...  I wonder if that was just an innocent error. 

Well, it has finally come to pass.  To the chagrin of our progressive, woke, a citizenry that there are actually winners and losers and not everybody gets a medal of participation.  With all the subdued response of the liberal faction, over the eventual transfer of our Presidency from one party to the other.  This seems at this point to be inevitable although not yet legally substantiated.  The press continues with its successful use of false narrative to misinform the citizens of our country. The press does not tell us, nor is there any legal avenue for them to tell us emphatically that there is a winner or loser of any election. It may be that they can't wait for the legal decision is in the books. They do appear to have been successful in their four-year attacks on our President, to prevent a second term.

For the sake of conversation, let’s assume that the unproven election results hold.  Let’s assume that the more intelligent, more highly educated, the kinder, gentler portion of our populace will now be in charge of our country. 

That is, however, a bitter pill for the wild angry, bible thumping, gun wielding, ugly, racist conservatives to deal with.  It is a given that conservative anger will bring about a rampage of destruction across the face of our nation, abolishing all hopes of defunding the police, of abolishing late term abortion, and income distribution with-out a united population.  Thanks be to whatzname for letting us board up all the businesses.

President Trump may lose the office of President of the United States of America, which at the moment does not appear to be very united, BUT he may not be the only loser in this race.  In most races there is one winner and a bunch of folks that came in behind the winner.  They are losers.  In the case of our country the losers may be the policies and the positive results achieved by bad boy Trumps administration. https://arbeeresponds2.blogspot.com/2020/08/irony-unexpected-results.html Prior to our receiving the gift of Covid, some of the Trump administrations activities actually helped, the minorities with-in our borders, the growth of manufacturing, energy independence, lower fuel costs, bringing jobs back into our country, lowest unemployment in our history, highest increase of income for the middle-class in our history, and the list goes on and on and on.

https://arbeeresponds2.blogspot.com/2019/09/what-are-we-allowing-to-happen.html

Abraham Lincoln: America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. Nakita Khrushchev: "We will take America without firing a shot.  We do not have to invade the U.S. we will destroy you from within." It appears that we have reached a precipice in our country's growth toward enhancing the animal society called mankind.  We have seen a portion of our body politic as it attempts a coupe against a legally elected President of the United States of America. 

https://arbeeresponds2.blogspot.com/2017/09/we-were-warned.html Our society has discarded pragmatism in favor of idealism, unfortunately, while thinking we can run and leap, we are still just crawling and stumbling not yet able to personify our goal of perfection.  Mankind in its climb toward becoming more god-like, more merciful, kinder and gentler than the rest of those in various food chains has some of us denying the nature of our world.

So America, as you ask who the loser is… go to your mirror.

PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY, GET ON YOUR KNEES, FOLD YOUR HANDS AND PRAY LIKE YOU’VE NEVER PRAYED BEFORE!

TO BE EXPECTED

 TO BE EXPECTED

 At a time in history when we are so separated emotionally, physically, and politically, why were we in such a hurry to condone lax voting requirements?

During the existence of our republic, our citizens have always been able to swallow the bitter taste of losing our political arguments.  We have always been able to out-number the outlying corner of dissent and to coalesce as a united force in the world.  I would expect we will be able to do so at this time, perhaps not to the degree of acceptance of the result that we have ever reached in the past.

Our divisions, due to the myriad of causes, have given us reason to doubt, to fear, and to dismiss every situation that we are on the different side of the coin.  The doubts created during the counting of our vote ballots and the gathering processes in progress are doing our country a grave disservice.  So much for reviving unity.

Our governing politic looms large in this formula as does our watchdog the “Press” which we gave the “freedom of the press”.  We no longer have the yardstick of honesty in fact to base our decisions of national direction on.  The factor of truth, formerly base on fact, has been replaced with the unending barrage of personal opinions coming from the mouths of those susceptible to the propaganda and partial truths they have been in contact with over the course of time.

In the jungle of politics, this weakness has allowed the predatory lure of political power and societal control, to attack our freedom of choice of whom we elect as leaders.  Using the basic and fundamental underlying foundation of the majority of our country’s people, “fairness” and “equality”, we have attempted to give our citizens easier means of voting.  This factor has put ourselves in a situation of potential national disaster as a society. 

Our politicians, in an effort to win, have not always had our country’s best interests at heart.  There are actually times in that “game” they have attempted to change the rules, the number of players, and the position of the goalposts.  The oath of office taken by those we have elected, hired and are paying for, should require those folks to put the country first, in front of self and party.

Using the “China Pandemic” fear-factor, as a cause for change, changes to our voting process have increased the opportunity and probability that vote manipulation will or can occur.  Instead of creating rules that would give us all a degree of trust in the process our leaders have managed to increase doubt.  Regardless of which side, red or blue shirts, ends up with the most points… doubt in the process has been established. 

Our democratic republic has received a systematic blow from our own hands. 

Without our individual effort to seek fact, over innuendo, propaganda, and self-serving rhetoric,

We are in danger of losing that which is inherent in nature.

FREEDOM

A NEW DIRECTION

  President Trump has sparked a new fire in our political approach to help lift our minority population out of the mire of past administrations failed and non-existent or factual responses to their economic and educational conditions. Words matter for sure, but actions do speak louder than words. Leftists believe that good intentions are more important than results. If you meant well and your heart is in the right place, that's what really matters, according to this creed. As Bill Clinton put it so famously: "I feel your pain." And that was enough.   Quoting the Chicago Tribune No one cared more about the plight of black Americans than Barack Obama — our first African-American president — who won well more than 90 percent of the black vote. But the sad paradox of Obama's presidency is that a president who was going to lift up black America economically didn't deliver. From 2009 to 2015, the incomes of black Americans fell by more than $900 per family adjusted for inflation.

The black unemployment rate has fallen by a full percentage point in the last year, black labor force participation is up and the number of black Americans with a job has risen by 600,000 from last year. Preliminary data show black wages and incomes are up since the election.

Another issue that is critically important to black and Hispanic economic progress is good schools. Trump is advancing the idea of school choice so that every child can attend a quality school, public or private. In cities such as Washington, D.C., and Milwaukee, the children who benefit from voucher and scholarship programs are predominantly black. Trump wants to increase by tenfold the number of black children who benefit from these vouchers and scholarships.

Trump also wants more infrastructure spending, more energy jobs and more apprenticeship programs so our youth have access to better jobs and better training. Disproportionately, blacks and other minorities will benefit from these programs, because fewer have the financial capability to go to a four-year college.

Trump is creating more jobs and higher incomes for blacks and other minorities and is trying to give a better education to every disadvantaged black child in America. That is a pretty impressive civil rights record. ‎

TRUMPS NO HEALTHCARE PROGRAM

Trump is not the Senate, Trump is not the cause of the failure of the ACA, it is not Trumps fault that so many in our country are losing their coverage do to their inability to afford the payments or the deductibles required. Regarding the present offering of the Senate... Pre-existing conditions are not being removed from the program being offered. The fact that our people are being miss-informed in an effort to continue what is failing us just on a political basis, on so many fronts is plain criminal.  

While constantly being harassed by Russia blather, (proven hoax) President Trump has facilitated and passed numerous health-care-related bills and improvements

• ·       Trump signed a law ending the gag orders on Pharmacists that prevented them from sharing money-saving information.
• ·       He signed a bill this year allowing some drug imports from Canada so that prescription prices would go down.
• ·       Trump signed an executive order this year that forces all healthcare providers to disclose the cost of their services so that Americans can comparison shop and know how much less providers charge insurance companies. When signing that bill he said no American should be blindsided by bills for medical services they never agreed to in advance.
• ·       Hospitals will now be required to post their standard charges for services, which include the discounted price a hospital is willing to accept.
• ·       In the eight years prior to President Trump’s inauguration, prescription drug prices increased by an average of 3.6% per year. Under Trump, drug prices have seen year-over-year declines in nine of the last ten months, with a 1.1% drop as of the most recent month.
• ·       He signed a bill this year allowing some drug imports from Canada so that prescription prices would go down.
• ·       Trump’s USDA committed $124 Million to rebuild rural water infrastructure.
• ·       Signed Right-To-Try legislation allowing terminally ill patients to try an experimental treatment that wasn’t allowed before.
• ·       Secured $6 billion in new funding to fight the opioid epidemic.
• ·       Signed VA Choice Act and VA Accountability Act, expanded VA telehealth services, walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care.
• ·       Under Trump, the FDA approved more affordable generic drugs than ever before in history.
• ·       Reformed Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs—saving seniors 100’s of millions of $$$ this year alone.
• ·       Signed legislation to improve the National Suicide Hotline.
• ·       Signed the most comprehensive childhood cancer legislation ever into law, which will advance childhood cancer research and improve treatments
• ·       2019 President Donald Trump signed the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education and Support Act (CARES) into law which allocates $1.8 billion in funding over the next five years to help people with autism spectrum disorder and to help their families.
• ·       2019 President Trump signed into law two funding packages providing nearly $19 million in new funding for Lupus specific research and education programs, as well an additional $41.7 billion in funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the most Lupus funding EVER.

BEHIND THE MASK

https://www.facebook.com/MyownLogic

One Of the first things I learned in my college psych class: the face we show others, the who we want them to see is our persona and it is kinda like a gilded Lilly or in truth speak its misrepresentation. The persona of a political party is much the same except it consists of a whole bunch of contributing prevaricators.  (def. prevaricator= noun. a person who speaks falsely; liar. a person who speaks so as to avoid the precise truth; quibbler; equivocator.)  The sad part about this group is that they, for the most part, are not even aware of what they are doing.  In their quest to be loved by all, to seem kinder, gentler and smarter than the average bear. The law of unexpected results eventually wreaks havoc.  This tendency is not prevalent in one party more than the others, but…

Here are some ideas that were put into practice in the last fifty or sixty years and these are just the few that my ol’ mind is able to recall.

·       Let’s make it easier for people to own homes: lower the credit history requirements for home loans, let’s make the loans with an adjustable rate and longer term.

·       Let’s make college and university educations available to more people by offering loans to pay for the education.

·       Let’s stop keeping folks with diminished mental capacity and those with chemical imbalances in those wretched asylums.

·       Let’s show the world that we are a nation of kinder, gentler warriors that will allow our enemies to fire upon our military first and only then will we fire back.

·       Let’s provide those addicted to drugs with drugs and the freedom to self-medicate.

·       Let’s show our enemies that we trust them to hold true to treaties if we pay them enough.

·       If we treat our enemies and our friends “nice” they will in turn be nice to us.

·       If we open our borders, we are showing the world that we really, really, care about other people.

·       If we make regulations to protect our environment, reduce carbon-based fuels, raise taxes on businesses, collect from the rich and give to the poor we are better people.

Those are just a few of the things that come easily to mind. We should have learned that moderation is a better rule than shut your eyes and believe your persona’s mirror.  The examples of the unexpected results are scattered across our landscape and across our history.  The majority of these misplaced intentions have actually harmed the folks that were the targets of them.

·       The housing bubble, the ruination of individual credit, cost our population billions of dollars in loss of our national output because the banks loaned money to people who did not have the sufficient means to pay the debt.

·       The education loan program buried many of our students economically for years after their graduation, the costs charged by the universities and colleges took advantage of the large increase in dollars available to make their own bank accounts larger.

·       The dislodging of the mentally ill filled city streets with people who needed the help that was no longer available. 
This has cost, many of our larger metropolitan areas, the loss of business and revenue.

·       The limitations and rules of engagement which hand-cuffed our military in the middle-east conflicts prevented our warriors in prosecuting the war.  This caused the expense of blood and treasure to continue for many years longer than needed.

·       Preventing guns has prevented safety in our schools, our places of worship and is even now hindering our basic rule of law.

·       The current defunding of law enforcement, sanctuary cities has escalated violence across our nation, cost our taxpayers millions and assisted mob assaults on both large and small family business’s.

We all need to look past the proposals of well intentioned, misled and misguided politicians and those who are in it just to win it.  As long as we allow ourselves to vote for promised potential we will forever be enslaved to our greed.  Our country, our people, were once driven by the potential of achievement.  We were motivated not just by riches but we were pushed by curiosity, by inventiveness, and by our quest to become better.  Today we have allowed ourselves to be motivated by anger, distrust, and the feelings brought on by a constant barrage of discontent as a weapon of political choice.  We need to look at what our politicians are actually doing for us, what they are producing in actual positive result.  It’s not about how nice we feel, how much we will get for free or how much of what we get will be paid for by someone else, it is about our society’s future existence.  It’s not about how we appear to others, not about our mask, not about what we hide.  It is about what we will leave as fact.

OUR HISTORY OF ACHIEVEMENT AS A NATION IS A STORY OF DOING BECAUSE WE CARE

GOD BLESS THE USA

FOR WHO OR FOR WHAT?

Here we go again. It’s time to stand up and be counted.  It’s time to decide what’s really best for me, for you and for our children and their children.  Like it or not we have a responsibility to do this based in fact and truth.  Like it or not we need to vote not for someone, but for the resulting impact of purpose.

In today’s climate of propaganda and miss-direction, information being fed to we the people, for the purpose of selfish self-interest, it is our personal responsibility to seek fact.  Fact is not a feeling about an individual it is about what history has proven in the form of result.   We can’t really rely on how we feel about someone because the human in us is to easily swayed by gossip and innuendo in sync with our individual personalities.  We tend to judge others in agreement with our herd associations. 

In our country today we are experiencing the results of herd thought, mob mentality in some, cowardice, greed and apathy in others.  Some of us have taken refuge in the title of the “silent majority” and in our silence, we have given approval to what-ever happens.  Our silence is a condemnation of what we have allowed to take place in our country.  Some of us have even chosen not to vote at all, some choose not to vote for someone we feel is not a good enough person to vote for.  It’s time to vote for what we want to see happen and against what we don’t want to see happen.

This election cycle is not just about a guy called Donald J. Trump, it is about a congress that has spent the last four years chasing a lie.  That lie was perpetrated by some who knew it was false and some who were complicit because of team mentality.  I, for one, would prefer a congressional body that concentrated on the purpose of best for Us.

I also don’t want a society that is ruled by poorly informed anger, a disregard for the rule of law, a lack of respect for our country, our flag, our history.  I don’t want a government that removes the word God from our people’s speech.  I particularly resent a government that dictates what is acceptable speech and what is not.

We need to have an honest look at what has happened to our country, to our large cities, to the increase in crime.  The why, what and who of that is important.  We need to take an in-depth look at our body politic and how it has served our people in the last fifty or so years.  It’s time that we put a limit on the term of influence any one individual can have on their influence on the direction of our country.

In the last three years of the current administration, we saw the greatest economic growth in the history of our country; the reinstatement of our military; the defeat of a murderous caliphate; a reduction of our military’s involvement in the middle east; the lowest unemployment percentages and the highest employment in all minority segments of our population.

We have listened to those who would divide us into every possible group and pitted one against the other just to gain some preference at the ballot box.  False promise and false blames have become a predominate method of reportage in our news media, the one place we have looked to for truth in the past.  That puts the responsibility on each of our shoulders to look at facts not rumor.  You may rest assured that some folks in the past hated the father of our country and Presidents throughout our history, but somehow our country survived.  History is how a President, how an administrations’ accomplishments and failures are judged and pragmatism is a tool of that judgment.

This cycle of choice, in terms of history, is important and the history of administrations is available to study.  We can pragmatically examine the result history of the current administration against that of those seeking to replace it.  We can see the results of the actions our governance, Senate, Congressional, and Judicial.  Do we want another four years of the debacle that has held our nation the captive to a false narrative?  Not I.  Do you want the loss of companies, the loss of jobs, the high cost of pharmaceuticals, the high cost of energy, the reliance on foreign energy sources that we experienced under the previous administration?  We have witnessed one of the greatest reversals of fortune, in our country’s history under the current administration’s leadership.  I, for one put more trust in the promise kept administration than the administration that boasted they were going to fundamentally change the United States of America.  I am more closely aligned to the administration that is proud of who we are as a people and what we represent in the world as country.  I am proud of our flag and our history and don’t consider either as something to denigrate.  I am proud to think that I belong to a culture that continues to march toward the brotherhood of mankind in one nation UNDER GOD.

GOD BLESS THE USA
