MAKE IT COUNT

As this will be my last column before America officially decides which path to take (Tyranny or Freedom) I thought it pertinent to express appreciation to and for the person who has given Americans a very real chance of regaining our country.

The man who has reclaimed the idea of “hope” from the clutches of the ignorant and “change” from their grip of stupidity.

The individual who knows we have 50 States, not 57, because he’s actually been to all of them.

The  citizen who has spent over 100 million dollars of his own money to make America Great Again.

The process of living the life of a billionaire has to be dramatically more enjoyable than running for the office of President of the United States.

Before this venture started Oprah, Sharpton and the Clintons all called him wonderful things.

Millions of television watchers loved the Donald.

Now because he told the TRUTH they call him a racist, xenophobic bigot who hates women, children, and puppies.

They imply he is a communist and a warmonger.

I guess this is an improvement.  Mitt Romney was actually called a dog abusing, tax cheating MURDERER.

The “Free Press” has circled him like sharks with blood in the water while the Democratic-Socialist-Progressive-Liberals (Communism) brought out the old game plan of Scorched Earth.

They just didn’t realize that not only were they dealing with a different deck they in fact weren’t dealing at all.

This time standing in front of them was someone who laughed when they tried to go “low” and basically said you better have more than that…I’m from Queens.

No, Donald Trump wouldn’t have won the previous election, nor the one before that or the one before that.

This however is the perfect time for the brutally spoken man who appears unable to stop any thought he may have from escaping his lips.

This is the most opportune time for the brash New Yawk brawling state of mind.

This is the time for bare knuckles, no holds barred and the taking of no prisoners.

It’s time for New Hampshire to Live Free or Die and the Gadsden flag bearers to start doing the “treading”.

It’s time for the Show Me State of Missouri to proclaim they’ve seen enough and for Oklahoma to be Sooner before it’s too late.

It’s time for Washington to live up to its namesake, California to reclaim her Republic and the Brexit States known as Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to shake off the rust and rise up!

It’s time for Massachusetts  to show us that “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty” still exists on Plymouth Rock.

It’s time for Texans to be…Texans.

It’s time for Oregon to roar, the Dakotas to soar, and for Florida to give us a reason to happily drink mojitos on a very specific Tuesday night.

It’s time for warrior poets, gardening guerrillas, and Men who need not more than a Minute.

America is in peril and as such it is time to stop defending ourselves.

The time now is to ATTACK.

Your vote is your voice.  It is your one bullet that must be fired in order to be free.  It is time to release 100 million American Snipers with a direct order.

One shot one kill and put the traitor down.

Stand straight, stand tall, and make it count.

Ready, steady, aim…VOTE  !!!

Baseball is a white man’s game

Recently a black major league baseball player commented that “baseball is a white man’s game,” when asked why NFL players were having “protests” (in others words cowardly acts of stupidity) and MLB players were not.

“Baseball is a white man’s game,” said the millionaire black baseball player who probably thinks Plato is a kids toy that comes in a can.

It’s actually called America’s Past-Time but why bother with facts when bigotry and lies are available.

Then again maybe he has a point not found directly on top of his head.

Let us take a quick look.

It is a fact that “modern day” baseball was created by a white man and spread throughout America by white men but then again so was football, basketball, the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Emancipation Proclamation.

These men are all dead but if they were here, rather than kneel, I’d ask them to take a bow.

Now we could run down the false narrative/rabbit hole that this “country was built on the backs of blacks” and “it’s time for reparations” as the UN just stated but to do so we would have to ignore facts like the slavery of white humans (Irish) in America well before the “Afrikan” arrived.

Never mind the small “inconsequential” fact that black humans owned slaves as well.

We’d also have to ignore that almost half of the United States never had black slaves which includes the largest State in America.

California.

By itself, California, is ranked as one of the top ten economies in the world.

Furthermore the War Between the States (nothing Civil about War) crushed the South as death, destruction and Sherman burned everything in their path.

It’s called Reconstruction for a reason and it happened by people of all colors who were FREE.

America wasn’t built on the “backs of blacks”.

It was built by the Individual.

Individual humans who bigots like to call Whites, Blacks, Browns, and Blues with Purple Polka Dots if you so choose.

Some will disagree but this is irrelevant as no humans from this time period still exist.

One does not get credit or blame for the actions of others, past or present.

Ignorance, or the ignoring of facts, comes in every color, gender, sexual preference, etc.

The latest propaganda we are being fed is that kneeling at the playing of the national anthem is about black humans being shot by law enforcement.

This is false.

Hands up don’t shoot was and is still a lie.

Michael Brown was a criminal with an extensive record who robbed and assaulted a store owner before attacking a police officer who then shot and killed him…in self-defense.

As I am tired and disgusted by the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton, who marched the mothers of dead criminals onto the podium at their convention, I will say this.

Those neighborhoods are better and safer places to be without those abusive thugs.

Get it? Got it? GOOD!

Furthermore standing up on that stage playing the victim was and is pathetic.

Michael Brown and others weren’t born criminals.

They were babies that were ignored, abused, and egregiously shorted on love and discipline…by the women on that stage.

Where hugs were needed drugs were heeded and they became detriments to society.

Forty years of “programs” and crushing illegal “immigration” has ruined the “inner” communities.

The “ghettos” are filled with drugs, prostitution, child abuse, and according to Obama, humans that look like him.

That he ever said those words is “deplorable” but then again what difference does it make?

Barack Obama is and has been a parasite to the black, brown and white communities and after eight years things are worse for those that look like him…and those that don’t.

I digress.

This isn’t a “rant” against Obama.  This is information and an explanation, on how many in the black communities, especially athletes, are getting sucked into Islam and I’ll bet most of them have no idea.

In the sixties through “black liberation” and “black theology” Islam, specifically Sunni Islam, crept into the homes of many Black Americans.

While Martin chose Jesus and a dream, Malcolm chose Mohammed and a nightmare.

While the rest of America moved towards the seventies and eighties, voices began to surface, calling for the killing of the white devil and death to America.

White Guilt emerged and programs like Affirmative Action began to allow the indoctrination of hate into our colleges and universities while Ebonics celebrated illiteracy.

Although Americans were attacked by Iranians most didn’t understand Islam and those that did were okay with Americans not liking Iran because Iran was predominately Shiite not Sunni.

As the eighties and go go nineties roared on, the immigration policies, changed by the Democrats (Ted Kennedy) were taken advantage of by the Clintons who opened up a personally profitable relationship with Saudi Arabia that has continued to this day through the Clinton Foundation and has only been slightly curtailed, by Obama favoring Iran (Shiite), and pseudo investigations by the hapless or possibly/probably complicit Republican controlled Congress.

While all this shifting and fighting was taking place Democratic groups like ACORN were created to take advantage of our electoral system that is suppose to be about reliability and transparency.

Our elections have neither today.

As in all times in human history, when moral shifts to the downside happen, it is the children, the weak and the poor who suffer the most.

While the ghettos collapsed, black Americans fled and continue to flee searching for the same things every human requires.

Water, food, shelter, security, and to belong.

Those that couldn’t or didn’t are now trapped in a circular or cyclical feedback loop that virtually guarantees the failure of those in these situations.

This has been going on for forty years and Islam is now rooted in many of these communities with many not even realizing they are being used as pawns.

This has been further exacerbated by the immigration pattern/policy of the politicians in the Boomer Generation (Clinton and Bush) and Barack Obama over his last eight years.

I would like to point out, so far, every professional or college athlete that I have seen that has knelt, except for a female soccer player, has been black.

They’ve told themselves and others it is about “police shootings” but it wasn’t in the beginning and it isn’t now.

More white Americans are killed by law enforcement every year.

More black Americans are killed by other black Americans than police every year.

More blacks die from drugs and car accidents than police shootings.

Of course to those who won’t gather facts this doesn’t sound right.

Most Americans think they hear on television every day another black man was shot…for no reason.

This is absolutely false and a narrative that is working quite well for groups like the Nation of Islam, CAIR, and even La Raza who uses different “opportunities” to take advantage of falsehoods while stating they care about “people of color”.

It’s basically the Crips and the Bloods but rather than flying colors like blue and red they have embraced different forms of the crescent moon.

Now everything I just stated is true and verifiable but some will still not want to do the research or simply don’t want to believe that Islam is involved.

Prove it Jason.  Everything you just said is circumstantial or subjective.

Fine.

Black Lies Matter endorsed the Palestinian Authority.

They endorsed HAMAS, an Islamic Sunni terrorist organization that also takes money from Iran.

Every time a knee is taken those players, knowingly or not, are endorsing Sharia Law and the executions of apostates and infidels.

They are approving of the subjugation of women, the murder of homosexuals and insanely enough themselves, if they aren’t Muslim.

From a historical perspective they are also approving of the Nazis as the Muslims fought with the Germans.

The same Nazis that referred to humans with brown or black skin as “mud people”.

In essence every time they kneel they are championing bigotry.

Every time they kneel they are spitting on Martin and praising Mohammed.

Every time these teams allow this behavior they are spitting in the face of our troops in harms way.

With that said I want to point out something NONE of the media is talking about.

The overwhelming majority of black athletes are standing at attention and many with hands over their hearts.

If the media is going to continue to spend time listening to athletes, how about we focus on the cream…not the crap.

Yes the Klan still exists

A question was posed to me a while ago when the media was running around making a big case about “racism, Trump, and the Klan.”

“Jason, do you think the Klan still exists?”

“Of course they do.  They even come out and make statements quite often,” I answered.

In 2010 a white man was “impressed”  that a certain black man was “light-skinned” and spoke with “no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.”

Also in 2010 a white woman called a  “former member” of the KKK a “friend and mentor.”

In an incredibly bizarre twist, also in 2010, a black man called a recruiter for the Klan “a fierce protector of the US Constitution.”

The name of the white man who was “impressed” with a black man’s “light skin” and able to speak without “Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one,” was none other than Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.  DEMOCRAT.

The name of the white woman who called a member of the KKK a “friend and mentor” was none other than Presidential Candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. DEMOCRAT.

Hillary would have been a wonderful Nazi as she also adored Margaret Sanger who, if she could have, would have sterilized every person she deemed “unfit” in America.

The name of the black man who called a recruiter for the Klan “a fierce protector of the US Constitution,” was none other than the President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama.  DEMOCRAT.

Yes the Klan does exist these days but they aren’t running around in hoods burning crosses.

They are running the Democratic Party.

Of course Progressive bigotry isn’t just a Klan thing.

In 2015 a “Latino” male threatened on television to put in place a “militancy that will be activated throughout the immigrant community.”

This threat was made in case legal deportations were made.  In other words the enforcement of the law.

Militant means “engaged in warfare or combat.”

His name is Luis Gutierrez.  Congressman from Illinois.  Democrat.

In 2012 a black woman stood on a stage, and knowingly being filmed, stated Sharia Law was compatible with the United States Constitution.  That same woman also made it a point to mention another woman (Hispanic) who agreed and was also in attendance that day.

The woman who made the statement was Congresswoman Maxine Waters from California.  Democrat.

The woman who agreed and was in attendance was Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez from California.  Democrat.

Due to a media that will not cover the truth most Americans have no idea what Sharia Law is or to what it pertains.

Sharia Law or Islamic Law is the “law of the land” in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

A blind man can see the United States Constitution is not “compatible” with these oppressive nations.

To put it bluntly women are property under Sharia Law and can be beaten, raped, and even killed…legally.

Homosexuality is a crime under Sharia and punishable by death.

There is a War on Women.

It’s happening in the misogynist and homophobic Middle East, with approval in 2014 from a white woman, who reportedly told many members of the press, that “Hamas is a humanitarian organization.”

Hamas is of course a Sunni Muslim terrorist organization that also accepts money from Shiite Iran and practices…Sharia.

This woman goes by the title former Speaker of the House.  Two clicks away in the Presidential ascension.

Her name is Nancy Pelosi.  Democrat.

Now some of you may not be familiar with Hamas.  As stated earlier they are an Islamic terrorist organization that hates Israel and The United States.

They also run the Palestinian Authority.  The same Palestinian Authority that continues to fire rockets into Israel with money from Iran.

The same Iran, Barack Obama, just gave over one BILLION dollars to.

Well not exactly dollars.  Obama helicoptered in different currencies to the Ayatollah where, according to John Kerry’s own words, “those funds could be used for terrorism.”

John Kerry Secretary of State.  Democrat.

Truly stunning.  The usage of propaganda, money, and lies to murder, rape, pillage, and create terror in other humans, specifically those that follow Judaism or as a black man would say “hymie town”.

The man who made that comment was “Reverend” Jesse Jackson.  Democrat.

Of course he isn’t alone.  In 2015 another black man called for the killing of humans with pale faces.

While college students screamed and threw tantrums about “micro aggressions” and Obama said he “understood” when cops were targeted and murdered, nothing was said about the aforementioned man who called for ten thousand black Americans to take to the streets to kill the white man.

That man is named Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, and he said these things in a church, not a mosque, where he reportedly received a standing ovation.

Calling for the militancy and the outright murder of others because they don’t look like you or because they are Semitic.

Kind of like…the KKK.

Well not kind of like.

Exactly like the Ku Klux Klan.

The Klan is still around and going strong.  It just comes in all colors now.

It’s found on the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor and as an appointee to HUD (Julian Castro).  Democrats.

Both supporters of La Raza.  Just in case some don’t know what La Raza means.  It means “the Race”.

Pray tell what “race” are these bigots referring to?

I could go on and on with the bigotry coming from the Klan err Democratic Party but let us be honest with each other.

You don’t need me to.

We all know we have very real problems in America.

What’s that?

One more example of diversity in the new Klan?

Okay.

A black man stated recently that if blacks don’t vote for Hillary it would be “disrespectful” as it would ruin a legacy.

Basically if you are black and don’t vote for Hillary you are an Uncle Tom.

The name of the hateful bigot who said this.

Barack Hussein Obama. Democrat.

He is half right.

A vote for Hillary won’t ruin a legacy.

It will ruin a country.

Jason Kraus

Then they came for me

Decades ago as I settled into my seat the college professor began to pass out the syllabus and stated, “You could probably pass this class by just reading the book…but then again.  I am telling you now there will be things on the tests that can only be learned in class.  The text will not hold all the answers.  So it is up to you.  Come to class, don’t come to class.  Pass or fail.  I suggest for those who want to pass, regular attendance, should be one of your primary goals.”

Attendance wasn’t a problem for me.  I was on campus everyday because of baseball.  Going to class wasn’t the hard part.  Staying awake through some of these “lectures” was a task unto itself.  This teacher however was one I knew I would enjoy.  He spoke clearly and at a good pace.  He also presented himself well as someone who’d lived but hadn’t been crushed by the living.

He wasn’t there to scare us, berate us, or bore us.  He was there because he enjoyed teaching.  He wanted to share his experiences within the scope of the class.

In other words he liked to tell stories.

We moved through the breakdown of the semester, two tests, one project, and points for attendance.  My kind of guy.  Not only did he tell you attendance was important but he also attached value.

Something many teachers still don’t understand.

The class finished and two days later we were all back for more.  Some of us anyway.  Noticeably there were many empty seats.  I watched the professor with a bit of pity.  I felt bad for him.  He had done a great job.  His stories were entertaining, his points well thought out.  He perused the room and then said, “Showing up is half the battle.  You will not learn by being absent.”

He then started to speak.

After about 15 minutes I looked around the room.  The professor had been talking the entire time and had everyone’s attention.  No notes were taken, no chatting in the back, no trying to talk to the opposite sex.  He had us in the palm of his hand.

He was teaching.

He talked about human behavior, ethics, and then mentioned off hand how one time he had a professor who gave a 100 question true/false test and all the answers had been true.  Thirty five minutes later our fifty minutes was up and we shuffled out the door to our next destination.  He’d given quite a bit of information but because he’d relayed it in story form I thought I would remember the important points.

Turned out I was right.

Two weeks later the class was packed as one of our two tests was scheduled.  The prof entered, smiled, and said how lovely it was to see EVERYONE today.  I laughed to myself as he started to pass out the test.  Hand over head the test was distributed until each of us sat silently with our test, number two pencil and scan-tron.

“You have the rest of the class to complete your test.  Once you are finished you are excused.  We will go over them next time.  Good luck.”

I turned my attention to the test and read the first question.  I nodded and marked True.  I read the next question.  True as well.  The third, fourth, and fifth questions were all True before the light bulb went off.  I quickly skipped to the end.  There were 100 questions.  I read the last question.  It was true.  I reversed back to the middle and randomly selected another question.  It was true.  I almost laughed out loud.  I looked up at the mad scientist at the front who was sitting watching the room.  I shook my head and without bothering to read any other questions, marked every single one of them True.  I did double check to make sure I’d filled in every single spot.  I even counted them individually to make sure.

When you’ve got the magic code you want every single point and I had the magic code.  After a few minutes I gathered my backpack and walked to the front of the room.  I could feel the looks from many of the other students.

Some because they couldn’t believe I could read 100 questions that fast.  They were right.  I couldn’t.

A few others watched me as well because they too had the magic code but wanted to wait for verification that they were right.  I looked at the professor with a quizzical set of eyes.  It was possible I could be wrong and if so I was about to flunk this test.  He met me with laughter in his and said “have a nice day.”

I barely made it half way to the door before ten other students were turning in their tests.

All True.

Two days later we were back in class.  ALL of us.  Our teacher walked in and started talking as always.  While passing our scan-trons back the class sat as though in a spell.  We all wanted to see our results.  Even more importantly we wanted to hear more from this man.  He had our attention because those of us who had “showed up” had been rewarded and those of us who didn’t, were not.

Knowledge isn’t about rote memorization, or the taking of tests.  It’s about having experiences that lead to thinking critically.

Teaching is about provision of the truth and facts, and then the reward of those who learned through the experience by thinking critically.

In other words, “show up and get to work.”

There are too many in America who haven’t any knowledge and aren’t questioning lies.

There are too many in America who aren’t even showing up.

Generations on food stamps who believe they deserve a check.

Generations of bigotry who don’t support the United States but rather La Raza.

Generations of hate that call for the collapse of America and the killing of apostates and infidels through the word of Mohammed.

It’s time to “attend class” citizens of these United States.  It’s time to show up in record numbers and vote properly.

If you were one who bought into Bill Clinton, I understand.  The man is a world class liar and sociopath.

If you were one who bought into George Bush, I get it.  What were the alternatives? Gore or Kerry? Hardly.

If you were one who bought into Obama, I get it…the first time.  The second time…just plead insanity.

A second helping of a Clinton and a third helping of Obama?

There is no excuse.  Those who continue to support Hillary Clinton, for any reason, are detriments to a free society, traitorous in their decisions, or ignorant beyond aid and can no longer be tolerated.

Democratic Politicians are calling for the “militancy of illegals against Americans” while naming anyone who wants the rule of law  enforced a racist, bigoted, homophobic, xenophobe.  Democratic Politicians support the Nation of Islam, Sharia Law, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

OPENLY.

Some will tell you they don’t but lies of omission are still lies.

While Hillary takes money from Saudi Arabia, Obama is the greatest stimulus program in the history of Iran and they both continue to do it over and over again while the Press, Loretta Lynch and James Comey ignore or provide cover for their criminal behavior.

What do we hear from the Liberals (Republicans and Democrats)?  They are worried about Donald Trump???

They aren’t worried.  They are complicit and they know the only outsider since Ross Perot is going to raise the hood and start poking around.

If you have friends, family, or acquaintances that are supporting the demise of America you must defend our country.  Stop worrying about their feelings.  They aren’t worried about ours. Use your voice in whatever capacity necessary to show them the light.

The alternative will certainly be less agreeable to us all…especially to those who will be marked as traitors.

We either have the Rule of Law or we don’t.

Trust me Liberals you better hope we do.

Democracy has been a failure and a lie.  We are a Constitutional Republic.  If you cannot grasp this concept Comrade Obama has opened a path for all of you to visit Cuba.

“First they came for strangers and I did nothing.  Then they came for my neighbors and I did nothing.  Then they came for me.”

The Five Phases of Trump

Each week I gather as much information as I can pertaining to the happenings in the World.

As this takes place ideas or subjects jump out at me that I feel are important to expand upon.

This week has been truly bizarre.

Seemingly everyday Wikileaks is releasing past Clinton criminality (with promises of more) at the same time Donald Trump continues to say things that make me grind my teeth.

In other words the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.

For years I have written columns, and a book, about the financial and moral collapse brought on by tens of millions of members of the Boomer Generation.  How sex, drugs, debt and the perversion of laissez-faire into “living for the now” has crippled our country and allowed oppression to grow through “government programs”.

Liberal and Liberty are not synonymous.

Progress and Progressive are like water and oil.

One of these columns pertained to Trump and his Scorched Earth style of dealing with enemies.

The Donald has been an enigma his entire life, as he seems, to never have had a thought, that didn’t escape his lips.

If he thinks it, he says it.

I’m sure in his younger years he was a bit more diplomatic but I know as each year passes for me, my ability to politely tolerate stupidity has virtually disappeared.

I’m 45.  Donald is 70.

In the beginning it was great to hear him talk about the border and human trafficking.

The Ostrich Syndrome provided by both Parties, and too many citizens, has lead to the murder, rape, and sexual trafficking of women and children.

In another word…SLAVERY.

Unfortunately his verbiage was a bit rough and is now being used against him by the cowardly politically correct crowd and the treasonous CAIR and La Raza supporters.

Both enemies of America and Americans.

When he stated murders and rapes were and are happening, because our border is nonexistent, he was and is right.

Unfortunately he doesn’t appear to be able to evolve in any communicative manner and has lead us to where we are now.

Trump has gone through three campaign managers and although I am sure they are all intelligent people, they don’t seem to understand, or be capable of managing The Donald.

To do so one must be willing to admit that (a) he is uncontrollable (stop trying to) and (b) he thrives on negative attention.

Trump walks to the beat of his own drum.

Let us call it the Five Phases of Donald.

Phase One begins with him being insulted, acknowledging the guilty party and blasting away.

Cue Rosie O’Donnell.

This only continues if the person responds.

Trump likes to think of himself as a counter-puncher and not a bully.

His recent tirade with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski only escalated because Joe continued.

Once Trump started talking about secret love affairs Joe seemed to quiet down dramatically.

Not sure what Mika said.

I don’t watch Morning Joe enough to garner what the Claire Underwood House of Cards lookalike pontificated upon, if at all.

Regardless, if the other side continues, he does as well, which kicks off Phase Two.

Now before we go any further I want to be very clear.

Trump isn’t doing this on purpose.

This isn’t some strategy he is following.

His only strategy is flamethrower to the left, flamethrower to the right.

This is my subjective opinion from leading, learning, coaching, teaching, and dealing with people in many situations for almost five decades.

Combine this experience with understanding Adam Smith and Abraham Maslow and it is relatively easy to predict certain behaviors of the Individual.

Especially successful people.

Successful people have daily routines.

It helps to create wealth, stability, and happiness.

It also creates patterns that are easy to see if one is willing to look.

Metaphorically it is the difference between hearing (the tympanic membrane reverberating in our ears creating sound) and listening (the gathering of information from aforementioned reverberation).

I digress.

Phase Two of Mission Scorched Earth began when he started to garner support from mainstream America.

Again millions of Americans loved to watch Rosie receive her comeuppance.

Tens of millions of Americans also loved to listen to the Party of Bush (RINO) get ripped apart.

Trump could do no wrong in Phase Two as even he commented “I could shoot somebody and still get votes”.

Unfortunately he personalized this affection as America loving him, when this wasn’t the case overall.

Freedom loving Americans love AMERICA!

We don’t do hero worship.

Yet most were willing to go along for the ride because SOMEONE needed to remove the corruption from Washington D.C. and the Donald’s “kung fu seemed strong”.

Trump was riding high and even took the lead in the polls for a week or two.

Sadly we must remember the two things the campaign managers don’t seem to understand.

(a)He is uncontrollable (don’t bother to try) and (b) he thrives off negative attention.

Things were going TOO well.

It is possible the speed of it all caught up to him, or even the reality that he may actually become President, suddenly landed uncomfortably in his psyche.

We will never know but the wheels on the bus completely fell off and it stopped going round and round.

Do not pass go.

Do not collect $200.

He even acknowledged this by saying “if I lose I’ll go back to my great life.”

This is the statement of someone who is preparing to not win.

How do I know this?

We’ve all said something like this at one time or another when we thought we might not get something we wanted especially in competition.

It’s human nature to emotionally “hunker down”, lick our wounds and tell ourselves everything will be okay.

It’s our first line of behavioral defense.

Trump just did it in front of the World.

With Rosie O’Donnell, Phase Three started with her going into hiding.

Trump continued to hammer her at every turn and lost some support because people started to forget who started the entire thing.

The Donald started to look like a bully.

This is where his campaign managers could make such a difference.

The man thrives on the fight but just like Rosie, Hillary has been hiding, poking her head out occasionally while refusing to give an actual press conference for a couple hundred days.

Trump wants to fight but Hillary is refusing to actively engage him (smart and cowardly) until her people tell her to.

She then pops up with “Trump is a racist” at a fundraiser and disappears into the night.

Trump doesn’t see her as an equal.

He thinks she’s lazy, incompetent, corrupt, and in general not on his level when it comes to real achievement.

He’s right and because of this he finds her boring.

I guarantee it.

Hillary Clinton is a criminal and a horrible candidate.

She knows it.  I know it.  You know it.

Her supporters know it.

Everyone knows it.

She is simply playing possum and running out the clock and it is working because Trump’s people aren’t doing their job.

We all know what he is.

Work to his strengths.

He needs a target.

We need him to target her.

His people need to draw her out.

They cannot sit there and wait for the debates.

The polls, have to be even, going into the first debate, or this election is probably over unless some type of catastrophe happens that none of us want.

This leads us to Phase Four.

Phase Four has brought eye rolls and puzzlement from Trump allies and the return of Rosie/Hillary supporters again attempting to defend their “friend” and attack Trump with viciousness and lies, while she continues to hide from the public eye.

This is the problem.

Trump is hitting every single one of them back AND piling on Clinton/O’Donnell.

Although this worked against Rosie he has got to ignore the mealy mouthed press and Hollywood types and aim that bazooka at Clinton.

Unfortunately it appears Whack-A-Mole is Hillary’s game plan.

Sometimes you see her, sometimes you don’t.

Trump isn’t nuanced or even patient enough for this.

His people have to be and they aren’t.

Trying to “soften his message” on immigration is foolish.

Border security is good for the entire country especially the poorer neighborhoods.

He should be hammering the gangs and cartels that are causing all this mayhem, rape, death, and destruction.

He should be reminding people about heroin and meth and what it does to the human spirit and he should remind people that our failing cities are controlled by Progressive Liberals.

Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, Oakland, Los Angeles, etc., are all broke and broken.

Don’t get softer Donald.

GET STRONGER.

We want to hear you ROAR American Greatness!

We want to hear America First!

When The Donald was declared the victor over Rosie the 5th cycle was complete.

Trump buried O’Donnell.

Her life has been a mess ever since.  Her own child reportedly despises her.

We are in Phase Four right now.

Trump allies are still with him but understandably tense as he Scorches Earth with his Twitter account daily.

Sometimes necessary.

Many times not.

Trump’s part-time friends are quietly distancing themselves while Clinton supporters like CAIR, La Raza, and the NAACP pile on.

The question now is this.

Can Mr. Brexit focus on one target, sniper-like, and put the Cackle Queen away or will we all be stuck in the 4th cycle and four more years of lies, deceit, and corruption known as an Obamanation?

One thing is certain Donald J.

I am here to defend freedom.

To defend these United States.

As such I am willing to help you in any capacity.

Although James Taylor has turned out to be a rube, easily manipulated by the financier of Iran known currently as the President of the United States, he did at one time create wonderful music and one line is currently poignant.

“Winter, spring, summer or fall,

All you got to do is call,

And I’ll be there, yeh yeh yeh

You’ve got a friend…till the end.”

There’s millions of us.

Stop trying to carry the load yourself.

We have strong backs and bright minds and we stand:

Shoulder to shoulder.

America First.  American Only.

Freedom First.  Freedom Only.

All you got to do is call.

Ignorance will never be blissful

Last week a conversation took place of which I became privy.

One individual (let’s call her a cross between Margaret and Marilyn, Thatcher and Monroe) was patiently trying to explain to another individual (let’s call her a combo between Bernie Sanders and nataS) why, despite the ignorance of the media and politicians of both Parties, the United States of America is a Constitutional Republic and not a Democratic Republic .

“But Dan Rather said we are a Democratic Republic and I agree with him.”

Yes you read that right…Dan Rather.

The same Dan Rather who was fired from CBS due to reporting lies about the Bush Administration.

Stunning when you think about it…having to create lies to go after Bush when W supplied so much to prosecute on his own.

According to this “proud progressive”, Dan Rather is the end all be all, when it comes to what kind of country we have.

I guess Brian Williams was unavailable.

Probably busy ducking bullets with Hillary.

Insert disgust here.

Marilyn Thatcher, showing incredible patience, started to explain the difference between a Constitutional Republic and a Democracy.

As I have explained this ad nauseam (for those of you who use the term Latino but don’t speak Latin ad nauseam can be defined as having to explain things to you, over and over again, causing me to retch) over the years, I will keep this short just in case we have any liberals (attention span issues) looking to be educated.

Constitutional Republic:  Protects the Constitutional Rights of the Individual through the Rule of Law. (Freedom)

Democracy:  Majority over Minority or in other words gang mentality. (Oppression)

DO NOT SEND ME LINKS FROM SNOPES ABOUT DEMOCRACY.

YOU ARE WRONG.

I digress.

This info was presented to the SS acolyte along with the fact that in referring to the United States as a Democratic Republic, she was ignoring a little thing we AMERICANS like to call:

The Constitution.

Our heroine did a little copy and paste and sent a note to the Progressive puppet.

United States Constitution Article 4, Section 4:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a REPUBLICAN Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Furthermore it was pointed out to Beelzebub that there are Democratic Republics around the world.

The Democratic Republic of Congo.  (Also known as one of the poorest countries on the the planet.)

The Democratic Republic of Algeria.  (Yes ye of the crescent moon)

The Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. (No more need be said)

If you are reading this, and thinking these are all countries in Africa, you would be correct.

In other words the worst continent to live on in the world.

Some will point to Germany as a Democratic Republic and after some research it appears they call themselves quite a few things including a Democratic Republic.

Sounds about right for the motherland of Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler.

So on one side of the equation we have the teachings and thoughts of Plato, Adam Smith, John Locke, and others, evolving through time, arriving in America through generation after generation of humans, eventually able to construct the ideas of Free Will and Freedom, into a document written by many, including Alexander Hamilton and James Madison.

I can hear the liberals now.  What is this written document of which he speaks and what does Pluto have to do with it?

On the other side of the equation we have destitute countries in Africa, Islam and Marxism (systemic oppression) and Adolph Hitler (Nazism).

Is it any wonder, those of us with a soul, abhor “Progressive Liberals”.

When you or your ignorance decide to choose Karl Marx over James Madison you are an enemy of free people, an enemy of all people, and an enemy of the American People.

“People who are free are never equal.  People who are equal are never free.”

The breakdown of Progressivism (Communism) is in full bloom.

Crushing debt, lack of the rule of law and overt corruption has overtaken the greatest country in the history of man.

When Dan Rather becomes the “go to guy” the jig is up.

The game is over.

It’s simply time to send in the clowns.

The fat lady with the Chairman Mao attire is singing…and she is tone deaf.

It’s time for a brand new band.

A band of Constitutional Republicans known as…Americans.

The Rule of Law no longer exists in America

Almost two decades ago (seemingly a lifetime) I had the unfortunate experience of working for an individual whom I did not like.

This person had all the prerequisites.

Communicated poorly, lied, cheated on their spouse, institutional fraud, etc.

Without walking down the entire path again it is fair to say it wasn’t a positive experience.

I rarely think about this walking cold sore as my time now is spent moving forward with my life but if one day horrible things were to happen to this individual I will nod and acknowledge the arrival of karma.

With that said I would vote for this foul piece of feces everyday, and twice on Sunday, over Hillary Clinton.

Too many times over the years we’ve heard “this is the most important election in our lifetime”.

The Liberals have ranted (if Trump is elected) that the country will be taken over by “Nazis” or “White Supremacists”.

Children will collapse without “a free education”.

Citizens will choke from dirty air and water and old people will die from a lack of medical care.

Aside from this all being false I’m quite sure millions of humans didn’t die at the hands of the Nazis because they didn’t receive a “free education”.

Medical care, dirty water and air don’t make much of a difference either when you are being MURDERED with guns, knives, rifle butts, and bare hands.

Nothing quite like a Progressive…then again they should know.

Black Lies Matter, CAIR, and La Raza are all Naziesque.

Many Conservatives on the other hand continue to wistfully call for the return of Ronald Reagan.

This is the same man who gave the Liberals both of what they are screaming for now and frankly a big part of the reason we are in this mess now.

Amnesty and free medical care (IRCA and EMTALA, 1986).

Disregarding a Herbert Walker, Bill Clinton followed with eight years of absurdity, Bush gave us eight more of pure lunacy, and then we graduated to full blown arrogance, stupidity, and asininity with Barack Insane Obama.

A little known fact is this.

Every single one of these individuals GREW the Federal Government…whether we want to admit it or not.

Rather than really understanding how humans actually work, Plato, Adam Smith, Abraham Maslow, etc., the individual American has given way to “group think”.

Free Will has been replaced with “Gender Rights”, “Racial Rights”, Republicans, Democrats, Progressive Liberals, and Compassionate Conservatives.

After listening to thirty seconds of FOX, MSNBC, CNN, or lately ESPN, most believe they can speak from a knowledgeable point of view.

I’m not sure which is more dangerous.

The narcissism or the inanity of it all.

Through all the madness, the Central Banks continue to extract wealth from individuals, every second of the day.

One need only watch the “debt clock” to see this madness in action as every dollar in debt, is another taken, from the Individual.

But hey “what difference does it make?”

This time it will make a very big “difference”.

The Rule of Law no longer exists in America.

The only reason anarchy hasn’t broken out is most of us are good people who aren’t looking to hurt others.

Still, the longer any behavior continues, the more “conditioned” most will become.

Like Pavlovian dogs when the bell rings, too many start to salivate, not realizing the bell isn’t our friend.

Trump is not a savior.

He isn’t God.

He is a man who hopefully will get an opportunity to put the Rule of Law back in place.

Yes I will absolutely vote for Donald Trump, but the most important part of Trump being elected, isn’t what he will do, rather it shows, America has finally awakened.

This is what makes this election so important.

Are our eyes finally open?

I don’t know.

As I am writing this now, and possibly as you are reading, another member of law enforcement was murdered.

This time in Kansas City.

Sadly this probably won’t be the last before I publish this column.

There is quite a bit of instability and fear in the country, and world right now, as the culture of freedom gives ground to the culture of oppression.

Living free without fear is a choice.

A conscious decision.

Nothing is free in this world.

Nothing.

Everything comes with a cost.

Whether you believe that or not…is irrelevant.

Too many have paid with their lives in America, for us to simply go quietly, into the night.

Remember what we are.

Human Beings gifted with Free Will who do not cower, will not waver, and never quit.

In other words…An AMERICAN.

14th Amendment

Recently I listened to Chris Matthews of MSNBC state “the Democrats want the border open for the votes and the Republicans want it open for the cheap labor”.

Chris Matthews has said many things that are wrong but on this one he is absolutely correct…and everyone knows it.

When I read or listen to people screaming about the Democrats trying to force a second amnesty upon America I am amazed the blame isn’t twofold.

Have they forgotten how the first one took place?

Yes, that was Ronald Reagan…a Republican.

When I read or listen to people screaming that the 14th Amendment doesn’t allow the deportation of illegals born in America I am again amazed.

Apparently they have forgotten that it’s already happened…twice.

Both Eisenhower (Republican) and Truman (Democrat) deported humans here illegally (whether “historians” want to admit it or not) and I can guarantee you most of them took their children with them.

Not so much anymore.

Our border issues (ignored by Bush (Republican) and emboldened by Obama (Democrat)) now allow the muling of children through the desert.  Not that human trafficking (see slavery) hasn’t been happening for decades (or centuries) but the overt encouragement of the Obama administration created horrific events of abuse, rape, and murder of women and children.

So we ask again…why is the border open?

See Chris Matthews.

The Democrats believe by continuing to bring in illegal humans they can count on their vote.

Of course we all know illegals cannot vote (insert laughter here).  It is kind of funny (in a not so humorous way) that we send out millions if not billions in fraudulent Social Security checks, that are cashed, but according to the “experts” our elections aren’t tainted…not even a “smidgen”.

In case that wasn’t clear to the Obama/Bush/Clinton supporter let me ease your burden.

Whomever is receiving and cashing the fraudulent S.S. checks has everything they need to be able to vote…as many times as they like.

Each fraudulent S.S. number allows for one fraudulent vote.  Coupled with the opportunity to vote absentee (mail-in), the sky is the limit for election fraud although these days with so much hacking happening to all our personal information from Russia, China, and the Department of Homeland Security, it would probably only take someone with Edward Snowden type access to change a few votes in a few States to swing an election one way or another…and no one would be the wiser.

Yes I know many think this already happened.

Anything is possible these days.

The 14th Amendment has been thrown around quite a bit this week.  With Donald Trump stating his ideas about all illegals in America being deported, the Democratic and Republican politicians have begun to panic.

How do we know this?

They’ve given up on calling him a racist and decided they would use the “law”.

Of course this is a bit ironic and hypocritical when supporters of illegals and illegals themselves turn to the “law” to protect them as their entire presence is “unlawful”.

Or in other words…AGAINST THE LAW.

The 14th Amendment says many things but the “important” one being used in defense of the criminals here illegally is stated below:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

The talking heads have been yammering that no child born here illegally can be deported because they were “born here” and if no child can be deported then the parents must be allowed to stay to take care of the child.

From the perspective of insanity this make perfect sense.

One would expect this type of person to answer “Lincoln” when asked “who is buried in Grant’s tomb?”

Of course most of us don’t reside in the world of the insane (by the way Obama, Bush, Clinton supporter…it’s Grant) so we shake our heads at this type of asininity.

For a child to be born here illegally both of the child’s parents must be “illegal”.  Of course only one of the “parents” has to be in the United States (the mother) for the child to be born here but you get the picture.

Any woman (or man) here illegally, regardless of giving birth, is guilty of a federal crime.

Her reward?

Citizenship for her new born and status as an illegal who must be allowed to stay because someone must take care of the child.

This has been referred to as an anchor baby.

Never mind the fact the woman cannot pay for the care she received let alone provide water, food, or shelter for herself…or the baby.

We provide all of these things.

Everything you’ve just read are facts.  They are not refutable or debatable.

These things are happening every day in these United States.

Non United States citizens who are here illegally (criminals) from all over the world are walking, floating, or landing in America.  They are welcomed by sanctuary States like California and provided everything they need to live, as well as documents needed to vote (drivers licenses) and  are now allowed to sign up for California’s version of Obamacare (although this is supposedly against the law under the ACA).

If you are reading this now and don’t believe me…well…they are running commercials up and down the Golden State on television…some in Spanish.

On a side note the State of Oregon just passed a law automatically registering to vote anyone with an Oregon Driver’s License.

On a side side note I spoke with a California DMV employee recently who explained to me how California is supplying translators and driving tests in foreign languages for humans who don’t speak English.  When I asked how the new drivers would read the road signs printed in English she just looked at me for a second and said, “Good question”.

Apparently “votes and cheap labor” are more important than the safety of the American Citizen.

I digress.

The American tax paying citizen who refuses to sign up for Obamacare will not only be fined but also forced to subsidize the insurance of illegals…whether you live in California or not.

Laws are only beneficial when the overwhelming majority agrees to follow them.

When tens of millions of people break law after law with the encouragement of government…the writing is on the wall.

Time after time Americans have shown their compassion and “live and let live” side of the coin.

But once that compassion has been thrown back into our faces too many times, the roar that historically has awakened, changes nations, continents, and the world.

Americans require freedom.  It is ingrained in us.  We use to require justice.

But that has gone away with the continued abuse of the tax paying, law abiding citizen.

America is now is search of retribution and the politicians and illegals better understand very quickly what this means.

If the lawlessness continues too much longer the citizenry will have no other option but to defend itself.

By any means necessary.

We must come together to remove the politicians that are unwilling to enforce our laws before retribution is replaced by revenge.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

The politicians think this statement is black and white.

They couldn’t be more wrong.

“And subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is government code allowing any judge to allow or disallow any “law” subject to the “jurisdiction thereof”.

Besides after watching John Roberts literally make up law while dealing with the “lie of the year” known as Obamacare these wearers of robes don’t need any help in passing whatever “law” they deem necessary.

As I’ve stated many times the pendulum swings both ways.

But then again the pendulum won’t really matter if the law abiding citizen decides to join the illegals and not follow the law anymore.

Trump

It appears the political world has decided Donald Trump is a powerful force.  DNC Chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus,  among many, have waded in with attacks in the Donald sweepstakes.

“News” organizations such as FOX, CNN, and MSNBC have filled their airwaves with Trump quotes hoping viewers will tune in and boost their ratings.  Of course these same networks using his material attack him mercilessly for his thoughts.

There is terminology for this.

Those of us in the world of the responsible American refer to this as cowardice and hypocrisy.

I’ve been asked quite a few times as to my opinion on the Donald.

My answer is this.

Anyone (especially with 100 percent name recognition) that steps into the fray and tells the truth about our crushing debt and criminal border situation is just fine with me.

But Jason what about his prior “attack” on Rosie O’Donnell?

What about it?

Two adults (one who was on a television show that wanted ratings (O’Donnell)) ranted and raved at each other over the airwaves.  American networks drooled and panted and opened every show with  “breaking news” about the on air cat fight.

Millions of Americans tuned in to see who would throw the next punch.

None of this on any level captured my interest.

But the networks filled their allotted time with this inane banality and eventually America chimed in as well.

The Donald/O’Donnell fiasco became a proxy fight between Conservatives and Liberals.

The Liberals lobbed any and all verbal and probably financial bombs possible at Trump.

He wasn’t just in a “fight” with O’Donnell.

The press piled on as well.

Again, I could care less about any of this drivel and the only attention I paid to this media contrived high school food fight was a small shake of my head passing the checkout counter of any store as it seemed every magazine cover had some comment about these two adjacent to “aliens are about to invade Earth.”

But then something happened.

Rosie O’Donnell threw in the towel.  As much as surrendering had to be grating to her, surrender she did.

The Donald had worn her out.  As bad as both of their behavior was apparently only one of them was willing to go the distance.

As America was tuning out…this situation finally had my attention.

You see someone forgot to tell Donald Trump that Rosie O’Donnell had given in.

She’d cried uncle.  She tapped.  No mas.  No more.

Or maybe someone did tell him and he just didn’t care.

Apparently he’d decided he’d been attacked and the fight wasn’t over until he said it was over.

It seemed for months he continued to skewer her in public (and presumably in private) taking any and all opportunities to pile on.  At first I found this to be a bit much.  The whole thing seemed immature to me, his continuing to throw punches after the fight was over made no sense.

The term overkill came to mind.

He’d come out on “top”.

Just quiet down and let the ridiculousness fade away allowing America to focus on more “important” citizens like a Hilton or a Kardashian.

But it simply wasn’t meant to be.

Trump continued to pound and pound until one day my opinion of what he was doing changed.

Don’t get me wrong.

As a matter of fact (not a fact of the matter) the entire situation was still purely absurd.

Adults calling each other names in public while the press ran around baiting them with “he said this” and “she said that” falls into the category of “are any of them smarter than a fifth grader?”

But as Trump continued on…the Liberals began to shrink away.

As they shrank away he increased his barrage until one day no one stepped up or into the fray on anything Trump discussed.

The Donald gave the Liberals of taste of their own medicine.

In Liberal political terms this is called “scorched earth”.

It worked against Mitt Romney and works very well against their adversaries in general.

Stay on the attack, lie when beneficial to the “cause” and create so much noise and discomfort the other side simply gives up. Gives in.  Cries uncle.  Taps.  No more.  No mas.

War is the continuation of politics by other means (Clausewitz) and although the term “love” shouldn’t be used in this context “all is fair in war”.

The Liberals subscribe to this theory wholeheartedly and have been fighting a war for years now.  The term “Liberal” also includes many Republican politicians currently in office including Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and ones that aren’t such as Jeb and George Bush.

Their panic has begun as into this fray stepped…Donald Trump.

Someone they know is willing to scorch and torch not only the Earth under their feet but his own as well.  He thrives on the drama and when combined with overwhelming name recognition his domination of the ratings driven media was a foregone conclusion.

For some people this is a return to NBC’s “must see TV” (no Cosby pun intended here).

America has been screaming for someone, anyone, to stand up and do something, anything, to stop the corruption, lies, and overt crime taking place in Washington D.C.

Of course we are here pounding away everyday but currently we don’t have Trump’s name “fame”.

Currently.

For those of you who’ve read Late Bird you are aware our time doesn’t completely arrive until early 2016.

Could the time frame change?  Certainly.

But unless or until it does the only person talking about the real problems in America on a level that is being heard is Donald Trump.

Is he scorching everything around him with his verbiage?

Yes he is.

Is this good for America?

No, it isn’t but something has to be done…and that something…is us.

While both sides are down in the gutter serious Americans with serious minds willing and able to implement new systems and ideas must continue to come together in what will be the ultimate defense of our country, of our freedom.

Trump is right.

The debt and border are crushing us monetarily, criminally, and emotionally.

He has also correctly observed one cannot bring a knife to a gunfight.  So in layman’s terms the Donald brought a “flamethrower” and is moving from left to right and back again hitting anything that moves.

Is Donald Trump the right person to be President?

Probably not.

But as I’ve stated many times when the pendulum swings it never stops in the middle.  The energy gathered swinging from one side always over corrects.

Trump would attempt to run our country as a “business”.  Some believe this is a good idea but in reality it’s only better than what is currently happening or a term we’ve all become familiar with:

The lesser of two evils.

That isn’t what our Constitutional Republic is for and will never work.

Government is never supposed to make a profit and those who point to certain government takeovers in the private sector as positives only show their lack of economic knowledge, complete misunderstanding of freedom, and tighten the proverbial noose around their own necks.

There is a word for a government controlled economy.

The word is Communism.

The only role of OUR government is to serve and protect the individual citizen affording each American the same opportunity to succeed or fail of their own accord.

To pursue happiness to the best of our own ability, dreams, and desire.

To restore freedom the Liberal mindset of government must be removed completely and permanently.

The Donald will never do this.  It isn’t in his DNA to give up control once he has claimed victory.

To return control back to the States.

Back to the Counties.

Back to the people and the individual the Constitution protects.

But God bless Donald Trump.

I absolutely believe he truly loves America.

Furthermore, he is the only one the country can hear right now telling the truth and shining the light on our real issues.

The only one.

There is one thing of which I have no doubt.

The Donald would definitely build one heck of a wall.

We just need the right person at the bully pulpit to make sure that wall says the United States of America.

Not Property of Trump.

“Late Bird” by Jason Kraus
