For the first time

Remember back in 2008 when Barry Soetero won the Democratic nomination, and his husband Michael (Michelle) said "for the first time I am proud of this country"?   And now, just two days ago she spoke at the DNC, and couldn't say enough about how great this country is.

Well, as an old timer who has been around the Birthday block 81 times let me give you a few of my FOR THE FIRST TIME thoughts. 

For the first time in my life, I find it hard to digest that this great country would even consider voting for a person to hold the office of the presidency that has been proven to be a criminal.

For the first time in my life I can't believe that Crooked Hillary will get votes simply because she's a woman.

For the first time in my life I can't fathom that after the FBI director called Crooked Hillary reckless and irresponsible in her handling of emails that there was no indictment.

There were nine mothers on stage at the DNC being acknowledged for the crimes they committed and then got shot by men in Blue, while thirty-two officers in Blue have been assassinated to date this year. For the first time in my life I am ashamed of the DNC for not acknowledging the families of those slain officers in Blue.

For the first time in my life I am ashamed that the Pledge of Allegiance was not spoken every day at the DNC this year.

For the first time in my life I never saw an American flag on stage at the DNC. I am ashamed of the DNC's  position on our flag. No wonder that flag-burning was going on outside the convention.

For the first time in my life I will find it hard to comprehend that our brave men/women in our Armed Forces, or our brave men/women in Blue will cast a single solitary vote for this crooked criminal that should be in prison.

For the first time in my life it is so hard to believe that ANY American would cast a vote for a person that belongs in prison,not the oval office. She has the unmitigated gall to expect Americans to vote for her by promising she will "continue to do President Obamaa's work".

Just remember a vote for Crooked Hillary means, ISIS will continue to expand, our Supreme Court will be over run with progressive leaning decisions, Slick Willy back on the prowl with his new sidekick Weiner, increasing unemployment, increasing welfare, and of course a tremendous increase in our national debt, and of course more lost jobs.

Crooked Hillary continues to promise free healthcare with the continuation of the de-funct Obamacare, higher minimum wages, along with free college tuitions. Great stump speech Hillary, but how come you never explain who is going to pay for all this.

Hillary Clinton is a crooked politician, has violated many of our Constitutional laws, and still feels she is entitled to the reside in the White House. She is a power hungry monster who cares nothing about America and its people. She cares only about grasping for her own power.

The fawning media refuses to ask Crooked Hillary about the millions taken in donations from terrorist countries, and countries that hate us. Will she create more "Irans" while Israel keeps getting downgraded by the White House. And please remember these foreign dictators didn't donate to Crooked Hillary without expecting "something" in return.

Here's our chance America. Please don't waste this great opportunity to rid America of the corruption that has taken place over the last seven and a half years. Or will America allow four more years of Barry Soetero.

Bye guys

A few years ago I read Laura Ingraham's book, "Shut up and Sing". I came away with some very personal thoughts about the book.  First of all, I loved the book,  as it was written very well and very informative. Good job Ms. Ingraham.

Americans go to the movies, turn on the TV, radio, and buy CD's DVD's to get entertained. The lives of Americans are so far removed from the lives of those we spend our hard-earned money on to do nothing more than to entertain us. 

Yes, we get excited when we see them in person, and some of us to go great lengths to get an autograph and/or picture with the celebrity. Their main job is to entertain us, and in some cases, help us forget about the daily uphill struggles some face every day.

The problem today is that too many of these celebrities actually believe their "press clippings", and revel in all the fan adulation they receive from their fans. And, of course, so many of these celebrities feel they are so much more than just "glorified vaudeville" performers.

Another gigantic problem is these "vaudeville" performers actually overstep their job of entertainment and expect the very people who pay to watch and listen to them to believe EVERYTHING  they say outside the boundaries of their vaudeville entertainment jobs.

These vaudeville performers are so filled with their self-power that they want us to believe what they say is the gospel truth, and we underlings must follow all their beliefs. Then, by chance, if we don't follow their beliefs and directions they will punish the very people that pay for them by leaving our great country.

Don't you agree that you just want to be entertained by the vaudeville group? A very recent example for me is actor Mark Ruffalo. I enjoy his acting, especially in a role of playing a cop or Detective. But he very recently advocated that Congress defund all men/women in Blue  across the country. Does he actually believe Congress, or anyone for that matter is listening to him?

And now let me rattle off some name for you" Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Joy Behar, Rosie O'DonnelBill Maher, Chelsea Handler, Miley Cyrus, Danny Glover, Ravone Simone, Neve Campbell, Jon Stewart, and other Hollywood "elites", who, as I wrote earlier, are nothing more than glorified vaudeville performers. Maybe the biggest vaudeville act of all is our beloved Al Sharpton

These people are all "threatening" to flee the United States if Donald Trump is elected our President in November. Are these vaudeville actors so self-centered and full of themselves that they believe we're all going to switch to Crooked Hillary because we don't want them to leave?

Think of these vaudeville performers listed above and someone please tell me how much any of them will be missed when they leave our United States. Can you imagine waking up one day to find that Whoopi, Joy, Rosie, and Miley don't live here anymore. Oh, the tragedy of it all!

Most of us don't care how much money they make or what they're worth. We, everyday, average Americans just want to use these people to entertain us to the best of their ability.
Frankly, most Americans couldn't care less what political affiliation these vaudeville performers have. We just want them to read their scripts and entertain us.

And, again, as Laura Ingraham's book says, "Shut up and Sing"

It's who they bring

This morning I listened to Mike Pence's  speech accepting Donald Trump's choice for VP, and to be his running mate. I was captured by his speech, but the segment that has been resonating in me ever since is when he said, "We must have party unity in order to defeat the Democrats in November....we must do all we can to assure that Hillary Clinton never, ever becomes President of this great country". 

I gave much thought to the current administration and the complete, total, and utter losers that Barry Soetero has surrounded himself with for the past seven and a half years. First, the real true president Valerie Jarret is a Muslim, who wrote in her Stanford graduation that she will always show her allegiance to Islam and its laws.

I'm just going to name the other losers. You know what they've done, and continue to do. Secretaries Clinton and Kerry, CIA worthless POS Brennen, Intelligence Director Clapper, AG's Holder and Lynch, FBI sell-out Comey, spiritual advisors Rev.'s Wright and Sharpton, EPA waste Gina McCarthy, Jeh Johnson of Homeland Security, and let's not forget Justices Kagen and Sotomayer.

Of course there are more. I could fill this blog and many other blogs with the names of the losers that Barry has surrounded himself with that bring Teflon to all their meetings to paint Barry to protect him. Of course, we all know what this truly means; the leader of this bunch of losers and inept morons, Barry Soetero is just as much a loser as his posse. 

This prompts me to think of what Trump or Crooked Hillary will be "bringing to the table" come next January. First, the Supreme Court Justices. There is a vacancy now with the passing of Justice Scalia, but there could very well be three more vacancies during the next four years.

If Crooked Hillary is in our White House we could very well have a Supreme Court bench that would lean 7-2 in favor of all of Crooked Hillary's crooked dealings. Her daughter Chelsea has already said the first order of business would be to get rid of the 2nd Amendment.

How about the rest of Crooked Hillary's posse. Can we handle Slick Willie and sexual predator Weiner both in the White House at the same time?  Huma Abeden, with family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood will be chief of staff. Elizabeth Warren will be Sec'y. of State. Harry Reid
will be Treasure Sec'y. so he can help ruin our economy and fill his and Hillary's coffers. 

AG Lynch, as promised by Slick Willie on the tarmac in Phoenix will remain as Attorney General. Comey will remain as FBI director. California Governor "Moonbeam" Brown will be the new EPA chief, and just about shut down farming, mining, and agriculture.

What about Trump? Trey Gowdy as Attorney General? Sounds good to me. Dr. Carson as Sec'y. of Health & Human Services. General Flynn as Sec'y. of State. Herman Cain as Treasure Sec'y. Sheriff Joe Arpaio as Director of Homeland Security. 

Trump has so many good loyal Americans to choose from that will go forward to work hard for the American people. Whereas, Crooked Hillary will surround herself with only those that will push her agenda, and not for the good of the American people.

Americans have a heavy burden to carry come this November. What direction do you want this country to move toward?  For me, the choice is simple. I love this country, and this country cannot afford four more years of the Barry Soetero agenda. Join me in voting for Trump.

Greatest natural resource

If America had a single object that we all agreed on was our greatest natural resource what do you think we would to protect it? We would make sure it grows to continue to be a great source for us all.. We would feed this great resource  so it could grow and expand to make sure future generations can flourish with this great natural resource. Of course America would invest Billions of dollars every year to protect this great natal resource, right?


Many actually believe our greatest natural resources are "under the ground" in our oil and gas, which by the way Barry Soetero refuses to drill for. Many believe our great natural resource is our Constitution passed down to us from our Founding Fathers. Some believe our waterways, fertile farmlands, colleges and universities, and hospitals make our country chock full of factors that seduce millions every year to come to this great country, and are our greatest resources.

Everything written above pales in comparison to our real true great natural resource in America. There is no denying that the greatest natural resources America, and even the rest of the world is our children. Yes, someday in the future us old timers are going to turn our country and our world over to our children to lead us into their future and future generations. 

Speaking very bias, I have the world's most adorable two-and-a-half year old great granddaughter. Of course I'm her biggest spoiler. Right now all she cares about is her doll "Suzzie", ice cream, chasing the geese and birds on our walk. Teaching her songs and prayers are a joy for my wife and me.

She is surrounded by love from two great parents, aunts, uncles, grand parents, and of course three of us spoiling great grandparents, of which I'm at the top of the list. I'm confident this little two year old "great natural resource" is going to grow and flourish to be prepared to be part of the generation we give the world to.

In quiet moments when I'm rocking her to sleep and watch her eyes close I think of the world she's going to inherit. Will her generation face racism, rising unemployment, rioting and looting in the streets, wars drug addiction, and so many more important issues that will befall her generation.

Recently, I've been watching young people rioting and looting in the streets of the very cities they live in. Were they not taught respect while growing up? Did their parents not instill in them that they will inherit this world someday, and they will be faced with the decisions to make this a better world for the generation that follow them?  Did the parents of these wild rioters and looters not instill in them that their legacy will be to leave this world a better place than what we give them?

Years ago I facilitated Parental Workshops while doing volunteer work the the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. I always stressed that these little bundles don't emerge from the womb with a set of instructions on their little backsides.  What makes a child grow to become Secretary of State, or a renown brain surgeon, while another child grows up taking a life of gang-banging, drugs, and violence with no respect for themselves and others?

Children that grow in a family surrounded by love, with teachings of respect and giving them the avenues to pursue their dreams,  then there is a likely  good chance you won't see these children rioting and looting in the streets, or gravitating to gangs and violence. Parents have so much power and responsibility to raise our children the right and decent way.

On the other hand when a child grows up with not knowing who his/her their father is, and their mother is a drug addict, then there is a chance you may see this child rioting and looting in the streets following a life of drugs and violence. I've always said that good and proper parenting is the toughest, but most rewarding job you will ever have.

It must be the obligation and commitment of every parent to prepare these great natural resources to be ready to take over the world. Like it or not we're going to hand the world over to them, with hope that they will make the world a better place to live in. Any parent that does not follow this is doing their child and the world a great disservice. 

My number one piece of advice is always put your child to bed at night knowing you completely and totally love them unconditionally. However, at full disclosure I'm going to continue spoiling my great granddaughter with ice cream and cookies.

Look, I'm "privileged"

According to Sharpton, Jackson, and many other notable African-Americans I am a "privileged"White person. Wow, I didn't know I was so privileged. Wish someone would've explained what being "privileged means.

Does being White and privileged mean I don't have to work, and I still get free food with stamps? Does being privileged  mean I get free education and health care, along with extended unemployment benefits, and subsidized housing? Is that what White privilege means?

Now, if there is someone who can really lay claim to White privilege it's Crooked Hillary. Or should we say that Hillary has "Clinton privilege"? And yet just yesterday, Hillary, speaking out on the horrific Dallas shooting never once mentioned the five police officers who were killed protecting even the protesters. 

Crooked Hillary didn't mention them, but she sure took the opportunity to pander to the African-Americans by saying, "Whites must be more empathetic to the African-American, and understand their plights in life".  Way to go after the Black vote Crooked Hillary.

I am 81 years young, and throughout my entire life of family, school, military duty, college, and working have I never felt "White and privileged" Wish there were some Whites out there who can explain where I got all this alleged privilege just because I'm White.

Mom and Dad came from Italy though Ellis Island,, and immediately Dad went to work in the steel mills for 48 years taking care of his family. I can't ever remember Dad being privileged because he was White. One of Dad's favorite sayings was, "hard work won't kill you, but worrying about not might".

Look at the programs and organizations afforded the African-American community. The most notable are the NAACP and the United Negro Fund. There are also notable celebrities that have established scholarships for young African-American students. Most recently Magic Johnson just raised millions for young Blacks.

On the social scene Blacks enjoy many outlets. They enjoy BET (Black Entertainment Television), they have their own Miss Black America pageant.  In many colleges and universities Blacks have their own "Black only" fraternities and sororities. By the way does anyone think the Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter are helpful to the African-American community? Think about that.

Can you imagine the vociferous outrage by the likes of Sharpton and Jackson if there were equal programs for "Whites only"? How about a NAAWP, or a United White Fund? How about  raising funds by organizations/celebrities for White only students? Hey, what do you think of a White Entertainment Network, or maybe a White only Miss America Pageant?

Have you ever heard African-Americans take responsibility for any of their "woes"? No, and you never will. My uneducated hard working father always said, "the greatest helping hands you'll ever find are at the end of your arms".

Blacks make up 6% of America's population, but are responsible for over 52% of homicides here in America. Blacks also have the highest rate of high school dropouts, along with the highest rate of one parent families. A large majority of these families are without fathers, who are in prison on drug charges.

Recently, Barry Soetero, half-Black himself, and Crooked Hillary, nationally spoke on TV that
"Whites are mostly responsible for the problems and transgressions of African-Americans". The truth is that African-Americans are given more opportunities than Whites to succeed. However, many of them feel it's easier to take advantage of the "freebie" programs that the Government offers rather than work hard and become role models for their children.

Talk about slavery. Isn't it a form of slavery the way Soetero, and Maybe Crooked Hillary want to get the Black vote, and keep the African-American community happy with all the "freebies" offered and easily attained by African-Americans?It's easier to control the African-American community with freebies and condoning their mob violence with their protests.  Someone, anyone, please explain to me what is the ultimate long range benefit of mob protesting, violence, and looting. What does that accomplish? 

Protesting, rioting, looting, and vandalism is certainly not going to help race relations, but only serve to widen the chasm between Blacks and Whites. Many don't know the answers to solve this problem that has escalated in the past seven-and-a-half years. Do you think maybe the Blacks can step forward and start making positive moves

Black on Black crimes have risen to the highest it's ever been, especially in Chicago, and yet Barry Soetero blames it on Whites and guns. Not one Black criminal apprehended in Chicago said he obtained his gun legally. Most guns used in crimes on the streets of Chicago were bought on the street from other gang members. 

Maybe Blacks should feel "privileged" with all the great opportunities offered to them. They just need to take advance of them, instead of turning to gangs and violence.

It's the Clintons- Duh!

What I'm surprised at today is that so many people are angry, upset, steaming mad, etc., etc., that the FBI didn't recommend Crooked Hillary for indictment to the DOJ. I'm also surprised that many did not see this coming. I know I did. 

Let's look at some glaring facts before I offer my glowing opinion. Since Crooked Hillary's email scandals surfaced she kept vehemently stating at all her rallies and at the one or two pressers that she gave, that there would never be an indictment against her. She should've ended this sentence with, "because I'm a Clinton".

I really love these factual sequences: 1) Slick Willy waits for hours on the Phoenix airport tarmac for hours waiting for AG Lynch's plane to land. Of course we'll never know if the meeting was scheduled. AG Lynch and Slick Willy said they just talked for 39 minutes about grandchildren and golf. Yeah, right. Remember he's a Clinton.

Then there's 2) Hillary's "interview" with the FBI just a few days later where we don't even know how many FBI agents were there. Crooked Hillary was never sworn in and there was no recording of the "interview". The following Tuesday President Soetero 3) invites Crooked Hillary on AF1 to go campaigning. 

Now here's one of the big questions I have:DOES ANYONE THINK PRESIDENT SOETERO WOULD HAVE INVITED CROOKED HILLARY ON AF1 TO GO CAMPAIGNING IF HE EVEN THOUGHT SHE MAY BE INDICTED? Of course FBI Director Comey swears that no one knew of his decision not to indict until he took the podium. Yeah, right Jimmy. But remember she's a Clinton.

At he Oversight Committee's hearing today Director Comey was shown the TV split screen where Crooked Hillary kept repeating her lies about classified emails, unprotected servers.
The other side of the split screen showed Director Comey telling the truth about the emails, servers, etc. But we must never, ever forget, Crooked Hillary is a Clinton and above the law.

Director Comey slapped every law abiding American citizen squarely in the face. He spent several minutes explaining how Crooked Hillary was reckless, and even acknowledged that her lawyers, who had no security clearance at all erased thousands of emails  from the "in the basement" private server.  

When Comey was asked as to why this private email server wasn't government protected given the severity of the situations, he simply replied "Blah, Blah, Blah, and more blah". After fifteen minutes of Comey explaining all the mistakes, carelessness, and acts of irresponsibility that Crooked Hillary committed, FBI Director Comey said that Crooked Hillary really didn't intend to commit a crime, so no charges will be filed by the FBI.

Like many other Americans I have lost all respect for Director Comey, despite the many accolades praising him have come forward. In reality, Comey was just a puppet doing what his boss AG Loretta Lynch told him to do. I would have felt better if Comey had just told the truth, 
"Crooked Hillary will not have charges against her BECAUSE SHE'S A CLINTON"
