There are actually some people, starting with the McCain family, that believe God can be fooled into believing that if you're famous you can act with hatred and corruption with no consequences. Of course these hypocrites further believe that if you have enough people singing false and lying praises you have an automatic ticket to heaven.
Here's a wake-up call to all the people that used John McCain's funeral, including his own daughter, to throw bashes at President Trump, God doesn't work that way people. To start with, the McCain family, starting with John himself, having so much hatred for President Trump that they informed him he wasn't invited to his funeral. Remember in high school when a "certain person" was left off the party guest list so that everyone could talk about the absent purpose without giving them any platform to defend themselves at the event?
Of course the media, along with Hollywood and the Dem Socialist Party are spreading this hatred faster than the Florence hurricane. While our President Trump continues to do great things for our country he is consistently being attacked by these people who refuse to even acknowledge his accomplishments.
Another reason I admire, respect, and support President Trump is he has reinforced his army of 63 million that will propel him to another victory in 2020. Yes, us 63 million deplorables are no match for Whoopi, Clooney, Colbert, and the rest of the elites. I mean do you think CNN or MSNBC would want me on their interview schedule instead of a stupid elite?
But it's so heartwarming to know that come November I'm just as powerful as Clooney, Behar, Whoopi, etc. Their fame and status still only gives them one single vote, which is the same as I get and the 63 million that voted for Mr. Trump in 2016. That's when we will be soundly recognized.
One has to almost feel sorry for the pathetic Dem Socialist Party and their Hollywood and media supporters.
I believe in God and even St. Peter as guardian of Heaven's pearly gates. I can just imagine John McCain's conversation with God and St. Peter when his soul approaches them at the gates. God/St. Peter: Mr. McCain, did you love your fellow man while on earth? John McCain: Yeah, but there was this guy Trump that I just hated". God/St. Peter: "So you're telling us you died with heavy hatred in your heart and still think you qualify for heaven"?
Before John McCain's should could answer God and St. Peter spke again: "We're sorry, but with heavy hatred in your heart and with no attempt to show love to ALL people we must decline your entrance. I'm sure the committee down below where it's warmer will welcome you with open pitchforks".
It's so comforting and heart-lifting to know that the hateful people like Pelosi, Crooked Hillary, Barry and his husband Michael, andthe many other Trump haters in the media will never adorn the gates of heaven when their time is up here on earth. The hatred in their hearts only guarantees them a ticket on the elevator going down. Is that why Meghan McCain put an air conditioner and sun tan lotion in her dad's casket?
And that's Politics with Pete for today...God bless our country and our troops.

Badass Trump!
Yes, President Trump is a bad ass, and I'm proud to be one of the 63 million that put him where he belongs...in America's White House. After 8 years of Barry Soetero and his husband it's so refreshing, invigorating, and hopeful to see a President that pushes back on the media, elites, and entire Democratic Socialist Party. And he does this by keeping the promises he made on the campaign trail in 2016. Even the Dem Socialist Party are borrowing his slogan, "Promises Made-Promises Kept"
He is not backing down at all from doing all he can for this great country, regardless of what his critics say. He continues to move forward doing all he can to repair the years of damage Soetero did to us. Americans should take a long hard review of why President Trump calls the media the "enemy of the people". Just hours ago the infamous NY Times posted an article that the WH lawyer was going to Mueller with evidence that could impeach Mr. Trump.
Truth is the lawyer was instructed by the President to meet with Mueller. The lawyer spoke highly of the President and reaffirmed there was no Russian collusion with Russia and then-candidate Trump. But the NY Times offered no correction or apology for printing such a lying false article. Of course there are many, many stories of lies perpetuated by the media and the "elites", but President Trump shows no sign of ever backing away from these lying malcontents.
They couldn't slow him down by attacking his policies, so they decided to personally attack him and his family, and he still wouldn't bend an inch to them. Instead he just let the media, Hollywood elites, and the Socialist Party have threat insults returned with both barrels. Of course the personal attacks on him and his family failed to slow this great man in proving every day he works for us.
He was chastised for insulting dogs when he called Omorosa a dog. Yet it was OK for Colbert to call him a c**k-sucker on nationaaal TV. It seemed OK when George Lopez wanted to pimp out our First Lady Melania. How about Madonna wanting to blow up our White House. Peter Fonda wants to put Barron Trump in a cage of pedophilles. Always seems to be freedom of speech when the left says horrible things, but when the President pushes back he's a racist.
How can anyone blame our President from tweeting? I hope he continues, because it is truly the most honest avenue to get the correct news to the American people. I'm amazed the media cries and whines while they have given, and continues to report 92% negativity loaded with lies towards the President. The "never-Trumpers have ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC turning on all their faucets of hatred to Mr. Trump.
Of course the media, Hollywood elites, and the Dem Socialist Part are driven by pure hatred for this man, nothing more. It's going on two years and they still can't recover from Crooked Hillary's loss to Mr. Trump. Nothing for them to do but continue their hatred. The personal attacks haven't worked, so now the Socialist Party has degraded themselves even further by now attacking our own great country by bloviating that "America was never that great". Don't tell me the Socialist Party is patriotic. I seem to recall that in 2009 Barry Soetero after his election visited many countries with the same sentiment that we weren't a special country, and we had many faults.
Mr. President, they're calling you evil even with all you've accomplised in less than two years, so I'll close with please keep being evil and keep on tweeting. I know of 63Million that have your back.

Why Fox News??
A few days ago I was having lunch with some family members, two of which are very staunch Democrats and Trump haters. So I asked them "why do you hate Trump so much"? Their answers ranged from "bigotry, corruption, lying, among other things". However, when I asked them to give me examples of President Trump's "lying, corruption, and bigotry", they couldn't produce a single scenario.
So I asked where my dear family members received all their news, and their answer was unanimous, "well, we certainly don't watch Fox News". I saw this as a profound opening. I then asked where did they get their news. And what was ironic was none wanted to admit they watched MSNBC or CNN. Later on though they dropped names like Maddow, Blitzer. Reed, Matthews, Tapper, and Anderson.
The point in this is that most all Dem liberals form their opinions from news they receive from the left Dem media. When no one at lunch could offer a truthful and valid reason for their disrespect and dislike of our President, they started on the personal attacks against Mr. Trump and his family. It was hard to comprehend where their justifications eninated from. When one of my family members said he actually believed Michell Obama (Michael L. Robinson) was more beautiful than FLOTUS Melania Trump. Their justification: "Michelle is on the cover of every fashion magazine, and that refugee from Czech land can't even get on one magazine cover". It was then I realized I was in very unfriendly waters.
Of course, being a conservative who believes in President Trump's accomplishment, I cited all the positive accomplishments of this man in just 19 months, mainly lower taxes, job growth, 4.1 GDP, average of 220,00 jobs added every month, and 3.9% unemployment. After a few short moments of silence from my family members the personal attacks against President. Trump and his family resumed, just spewing out their diatribes of hate.
After 8 years of a spineless jelly-fish in our White House who put down our great country every chance he got we finally have a President that is putting America first. Of course he's bombastic, loud, opinionated, but take a look at what's doing and what he's brought to us in just 19 months. When I started to brag about 3.9% unemployment the only retort I got from my Democrat Socialist family members was, "Oh, you watch too much Fox."
As lunch was winding down I got my last chance to ask my favorite question: "OK, so what's the Dem's message for the 2018 and 2020 elections to persuade us to vote for your party?" At this point, two family members abruptly jumped up from their seats and vociferously said, "We're outta here". It was clear they had no message supporting their party. By the way, has anyone ever seen a happy Democrat Socialist?
And that's Politics with Pete for today...God bless our country and our troops.

You go media!
Here's a message for ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, Whoopi, Joy, Colbert, Kimmel, Samantha Bee, and Schumer and Pelosi: Thank you, thank you for making this November such an easy road for the GOP. And a double thank you with the hope that you contiinue down your "resistance" path to make November, 2020 so encouraging for us. Please keep it up. The combination of Hillary and Pelosi are the best duo the GOP could ever hope for.
Even with the media's platform President Trump's approval ratings are climbing every day. Americans, even anti-Trumpers are seeing through the left's "resistance" ideology. The left has control over the media and Hollywood elites, but they are beginning to realize that the 63 million of us aren't buying or budging in our unwavering support of President Trump.
The left has no platform or candidate to getting in the way of our President's goals for Americans. They just keep parading celebrities in front of their cameras 24/7 in hopes of turning the tide on the support we 63 million have pledged to the GOP and President Trump. For eight years our great country had to endure Barry Soetero's plight to destroy our country.
Barry Soetero stayed in the background doing nothing but catering to people and organizations that supported his ideology that America was a horrible country. And now after eight years of his insufferable leadership we now have a strong decisive President that continues to prove every day that America and its people come first. He is unlike Barry and his husband Michael who put everything above America.
So CNN and MSNBC strongly believe that parading those mentioned in my opening paragraph will really advance their cause of bringing down President Trump. However they just keep forgetting about us 63 million strong Trump supporters. You can bet that the media will never interview any of the 63 million, let alone have us on a panel talking about Trump's accomplishments.
Why is there so much bitterness among the lib Dems? Is it because everyone on the lib Dem side believed that the corrupt Crooked Hillary was going to be their queen? I have some family members that refuse to discuss anything all on the matter. They bitterly raise their voice and say, "Stop right there Pete...not going to talk about it". These are the same people, who for eight years, "rubbed" our noses in Barry and his husband Michael-the-Tranny living in the White House. They gave it out, but now, only 500 days in office, they can't take it, and will not accept Mr. Trump as our President, regardless of all he's accomplished for the American people.
I had a friend, well he's just an acquaintance now, that lives in California, and he knows I'm a staunch Trump supporter. We used to email political jokes and cartoons back and forth. He was so distraught and upset when Mr. Trump won, that he told me to stop emailing him. I was hurt and dismayed at first, until I realized he was happy drowning in his quagmire of liberalism, and he was just full of hatred for Trump. Much like the people in my first paragraph.
Final thought. Do any of those in my opening paragraph think, even for one second, that any of us 63 million could be persuaded to give up our support of President Trump? I fantasize about being on The View or on Colbert's show for an interview. Alas, I know that will never happen, and it's all because the lib Dems are scary afraid of the success of Republicans.
And that's Politics with Pete for today....God bless our country

Guns vs. Meth
Have you noticed all the lying bloviating going on about our 2nd. Amendment? Looking for an excuse to continue their hatred of President Trump because he believes in our rights under the 2nd. Amendment seems to be the norm of the media, Hollywood elites, and the lib Dem Party.
Everytime there's a school shooting it's Mr. Trump's fault, and extra coverage is given if the shooter happens to be Caucasian and if even one victim is Black or other minority. However the media gives no coverage to Blacks wielding, shooting, and killing Caucasians. Recently four evil degenerate Blacks murdered a female police officer while she was answering a fake police call. Did anyone notice Fox News was the only network to cover this story?
Why is it that the media does not report on all the Black on Black crimes in Chicago. Just last week there were 84 shootings in Chicago, and all 84 "gun wielders" were Black. Did anyone hear about this on CNN or MSNBC? Of course not. They're too busy spewing out hatred of Press. Trump. I always ponder what the media would do if Mayor Emanuel of Chicago were a Republican.
By the way, if you tune into any network other than Fox News, you won't know that guns are NOT the number one killer of our young people in America. It's Meth.However, you'll never hear this on any network except Fox, because the media's platform on hating President Trump is their foundation and base to attempt to impeach him.
We are witnessing protests, sit-ins, boycotting of all businesses that are in support of gun control, and yet none of these protesters can utter a single intelligent word relating to firearms. Recently Senator Feinstein(D-CA) said, "If all of us turn in our firearms then the criminals will too". Really? What a profoundling idiotic statement Senator. And don't forget to tell us that when you visited your husband in the hospital you were always "carrying".
Did you happen to see Kelley Clarkson in tears while hosting the Billboard show, that by the way had horrible ratings? She stood on stage bloviating about gun control, but didn't offer any inkling of a solution. She just used her speech as a "popularity platform". People laying in grocery store aisles do nothing but prevent people from buying food for their families. Are these displays any way to get at the root of tragedies caused by Meth or the misuse of firearms? No!
Has anyone in Chicago ever investigated the correlation of Black on Black crime to over 80% of Chicago children being from single parent families? Has anyone ever investigated just how easy it is for our young people to obtain Meth? How about investigating the multitude of sites where Meth is manufactured? It's just too easy attack the NRA and ALL firearm citizens. Why is Fox the only network that correctly claims no NRA member has committed a firearm crime?
Our country will be better served to address the largest killers in our country, drugs, opioids, and Meth. Decent, law-abiding firearm owners are never going to use their fireamro commit crimes, whereas, all the criminals owning firearms will commit gun crimes regardless of laws or confiscations of guns. Maybe the largest problem is not Meth and firearms, but parents. Do your jobs parents, or get help doing so.
And that's Politics with Pete for today...God bless our country and our troops.

It's our kids stupid
Be honest now folks...how many of you out there know, or remember, that April is National Child Abuse Awareness month? It seems that everday is National 'something or other' day. National pancake day, national chocolate day, even national grilled chesse sandwich day. Really? We're actually honoring, yes honoring, irrelevant inanimate objects that are just for promoting products for sales. They actually don't mean a hill of bean to most Americans.
I feel somewhat knowledgeable in the area of child abuse prevention, as I worked for John Walsh's California branch of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children for four years. I served as voluntary board chairman, facilitated many parenting workshops, spoke in many schools on "Stranger Danger". But my real qualifier is I'm a father, grandfather, and even two-time great grandfather.
It seems all societies fail to grasp and digest that our children, all over the world, are our greatest natural resource. Someday, and it'll be here faster than you can blink an eye, us "old timer" are gonna turn this world over to our young 'natural resources', and our man focus today, right now, immediately must be on preparing them to handle their responsibilities as they grow to handle the decisions they make for our country.
When an infant emerges from their mother's womb there's not a set of instructions taped to their bottom on how to properly raise and prepare them for their futures. They're just helpless little 6 or 7 pounders who seem for scream for attention to eat, sleep, or get re-diapered. I'm 82 now, and remember telling the parents and students in my workshops that I was raised on LSD, and I always got the last word when Dad read the riot act to me when I screwed up. They would look at me wondering if they were in the right workshop.
First of all, what I meant by LSD was Love, Support, and Discipline, and what I meant by 'last word' was me saying "Yes Dad" when he doled out the disciple, which usually consisted of one week of "grounding". Dad could care less about the big school dance after the game. Grounded meant grounded. Dad came from Italy without a day of education, he was my hero and still is.
Ever since Columbine we've turned school shootings into political platforms. There have been entirely too many school shootings, bringing chaos, harm, and even death to our children striving to get an education. The political part seems to be that as soon as there's a school shooting, or any public shooting there are groups who immediately take to the streets screaming for gun control.
The protest signs carried by the political protests read like protests right out of Hitler and Stalin's playbook. Blame the 'other Party', particularly the one in office. Blame the NRA. Blame the gun manufacturers, after all they manufacture the firearms. Yes, plenty of facets of our society to blame for firearm crimes, and plenty of blame to go around.
Yesterday was a beautiful Spring day, and while I was "putzing around" in the garage I spotted five or six 10-12 year olds running around the neighborhood. Three African-American children, along with two little White girls were giggling, laughing, and exploring. Being a strong child advocate, it was nice to witness. They waved at me laughing.
Frosting on the cake? Later, when I walked inside my wife told me these young kids knocked on our door and asked my wife if she had any trash to throw away. Then she further explained these youngsters were actually going around our condo complex, knocking on doors, asking people if they had any trash to throw away. There's a large dumpster area at the end of the street, and these youngsters actually thought there may be some people who can't carry their trash to the dumpster, and they wanted to help.
So many thoughts and questions running through my brain. Who taught these kids that it was really nice to do this? Where did they learn to be respectful? So heartwarming to see them play together; laughing, chasing each other on their bikes. Then I started to think, what will happen to these children? What changes will they go through that may dictate one becomes a Dr., Attorney, etc., and one end up in a gang taking drugs, and ending up in the morgue?
The answer is very simple...PARENTING. I have seen all the protest signs at these anti-gun marches blaming everything, but parenting skills. Some parents find it easier to blame the schools, racism, and a multitude of reasons that don''t befall them in any way.
I would like to see some signs at protests that read, WE NEED BETTER PARENTING, or HOMES MUST BE STABLE FOR OUR CHILDREN, even signs that ask WE NEED MORE TWO-PARENT HOMES. But no, we'll never see signs like this at protest and marches. It seems easier to blame everyone, and everthing else.
Wake up people! If we all want a better America, start focusing on what really matters:
IT'S THE KIDS STUPID!!
And that's Politics with Pete today. God blss our country and our troops.

There have been entirely too many school shootings, bringing chaos, harm, and even death to our children striving to get an education. The political part seems to be that as soon as there's a school shooting, or any public shooting there are groups who immediately take to the streets screaming for gun control.
The protest signs carried by the political protests read like protests right out of Hitler and Stalin's playbook. Blame the 'other Party', particularly the one in office. Blame the NRA. Blame the gun manufacturers, after all they manufacture the firearms. Yes, plenty of facets of our society to blame for firearm crimes, and plenty of blame to go around.
Yesterday was a beautiful Spring day, and while I was "putzing around" in the garage I spotted five or six 10-12 year olds running around the neighborhood. Three African-American children, along with two little White girls were giggling, laughing, and exploring. Being a strong child advocate, it was nice to witness. They waved at me laughing.
Frosting on the cake? Later, when I walked inside my wife told me these young kids knocked on our door and asked my wife if she had any trash to throw away. Then she further explained these youngsters were actually going around our condo complex, knocking on doors, asking people if they had any trash to throw away. There's a large dumpster area at the end of the street, and these youngsters actually thought there may be some people who can't carry their trash to the dumpster, and they wanted to help.
So many thoughts and questions running through my brain. Who taught these kids that it was really nice to do this? Where did they learn to be respectful? So heartwarming to see them play together; laughing, chasing each other on their bikes. Then I started to think, what will happen to these children? What changes will they go through that may dictate one becomes a Dr., Attorney, etc., and one end up in a gang taking drugs, and ending up in the morgue?
The answer is very simple...PARENTING. I have seen all the protest signs at these anti-gun marches blaming everything, but parenting skills. Some parents find it easier to blame the schools, racism, and a multitude of reasons that don''t befall them in any way.
I would like to see some signs at protests that read, WE NEED BETTER PARENTING, or HOMES MUST BE STABLE FOR OUR CHILDREN, even signs that ask WE NEED MORE TWO-PARENT HOMES. But no, we'll never see signs like this at protest and marches. It seems easier to blame everyone, and everthing else.
Wake up people! If we all want a better America, start focusing on what really matters:
IT'S THE KIDS STUPID!!
And that's Politics with Pete today. God blss our country and our troops.
