Many of us old timers remember a very popular TV series cop show starring Sgt. Joe Friday. Sgt. Joe had this dead pan no-nonsense demeanor and appearance. One of his famous quotes when he would question women was, "Just the facts ma'am". You could almost anticipate him quoting this while questioning a lady.
In view of the media and Socialist Dems' attacks on Justice Kavanaugh and the Ukraine lies from an unknown "whistle blower", the word FACT has become the most important word in journalism today. Just think how great our good old U.S.A. would be if all networks, and news reporting outlets would focus on facts instead of ratings.
Maybe my most personal favorite fact is that the Socialist Dems along with their fawning media refuse to accept that they lost the 2016 election. They have been trying to replace our President since before he took office in 2017, and they can't legally lay a glove on him even with the lies and personal attacks. Everyone knows this whistleblower-impeachment fiasco is nothing more than a distraction so the Department of Justice cannot look into the Obama-Clinton crimes.
Democrat Socialist Congressman Al Green even admitted, "We have to impeach him now or else he's gonna get reelected next November". Really? Is that how our D.C. lawmakers want to conduct themselves? Socialist Dems know they have the media and Hollywood elites in their back pocket, and can go on TV and maliciously fabricate all the lies they want to attack our President. The biggest and most outrageous display of this is Adam Schiff (D-CA) who not only heads up the Intelligence committee, he's also leading one of the Socialist Dems impeachment inquiries. Would you call overkill?
Americans, especially the 63 million of us who voted for Mr. Trump, are seeing this charade for what it truly is; a purely non-factual attack on a man who continues to do so much for our country. The Socialist Dems realize they have no factual evidence that our President should be impeached, so they just continue with their onslaught of personal attacks against him.
ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, CNN, and MSNBC have now even resorted to attaching names to the 63 million of us who voted for Mr. Trump. According to the media I am a racist, xenophobic, deplorable, despicable, foul-smelling, and worthless human being because I voted for Mr. Trump. The media is quickly losing all their credibility with Americans, who realize there are no FACTS to substantiate their claims against our President.
The tragic sadness is these news outlet organizations are becoming the National Inquirers of our daily news. Everyone giggles about the National Inquirer as we read their headlines while going through the grocery store check-out lanes. Yes, we are entertained and laugh at the headlines, but we surely don't ever believe any of their made-up drama filled stories.
And that is precisely what the American pubic is experiencing today. Gone are the FACT reporting journalists we grew to rely on their factual reporting. Walter Cronkite is being replaced by Fredo Cuomo. Famed journalist Jessica Savage is replaced by Rachel Maddow, Edward R. Murrow is being replaced by Chuck Todd. We all remamber the famous nightly news program of Huntley-Brinkley. They are now replaced by the likes of Chrissy Matthews and Jake Tapper. Their mantra is ,"We don't care about facts...we want ratings.
And the Socialist Dems are not giving up their evil and fruitless battle to overthrow this President with manufactured lies because they know full well they cannot defeat this President at the polls next November. Fasten your seat belts folks. It's gonna be a messy campaign season next year. However, I feel so very confident that the 63 million of us will not waiver in our support this great President in his reelection bid.
And that's Politics with Pete for today....God bless our country and our troops.

Don't get lazy folks
When you woke this morning you probably started your daily routine. First, the bathroom, brushing teeth, jumping in the shower, dressing with clean fresh clothes, in the kitchen for fresh coffee, turning on one of your two or three plasma TVs to watch the morning news. Then off to school, work, or if you're retired maybe golf, reading, gardening. or anything else you CHOOSE to do.
Than after school, work, golf, etc., it's home for your choice of what you want for dinner. After dinner and a nice tasty desert it's TV to scroll through over a hundred channels. or maybe it's off to night school, or anything else you CHOOSE to do. At bedtime you slide into a nice warm bed, or a nice cool air-conditioned bedroom. And don't forget you have the ability to CHOOSE what comfortable temperature you want.
My point in today's blog is Americans have so many wonderful privileges, including our freedoms, and right to CHOOSE each and every minute of our lives. These privileges, and freedoms were given to us by God and our Constitution. We must, in fact, we cannot ever forget what has been given to all Americans by the grace of our God and our constitution.
However, and this an important however, Americans must not get lazy, and just take for granted all our rights, privileges, and freedoms. Since the Revolutionary War and all the wars that followed so many men and women fought and sacrificed their lives for the freedoms and rights we have today. Americans must not take these freedoms and rights for granted.
Well, what can you do? Of course at the top of the list is to honor God, family, and friends each waking moment of our lives. We also must never forget the greatest tool our Founding Fathers gave us...The Constitution of the United States of America. So many times we hear people say, "But what can I do...I'm just a plumber, school teacher, construction worker." etc.
Please folks, don't ever, ever sell yourself short on what our greatest contribution can be. The most important and lasting contribution we can make is how we prepare our children for the future. BOTH parents have the responsibility and obligation to raise our children, at a very young, to be law-abiding honorable individuals. Parents have the responsibility of preparing and supporting our children for the proper education, and what lies ahead for them.
When there is no father figure in the home a working single mother has a difficult time giving attention to needs of her growing children. Never forget the greatest natural resource in the entire world is the child. ALL parents have the obligation and responsibility to nurture our children and prepare them as the future citizens who someday will be leaders of our earth.
This is the greatest country in the world, and to continue with our greatness we cannot take our freedoms and rights for granted. We cannot ignore the challenges and dangers that befall us and our future leaders. I've always maintained that raising a child the right way is the toughest yet most rewarding job you'll ever have. We owe it to our children, our country, and ourselves. We have a beautiful and strong country. Let's not take it for granted.
And that's Politics with Pete for today...God bless our country and our troops.

I'm a Dem
I am a born-again Democrat. Joe Biden will make a great President. Time for a change to go back to the Democrat
Party. Hope President Biden raises taxes, incorporates more EPA regulations, return Obamacare, appoint better and more liberal Supreme Court Judges.
Joe, you're certainly getting my vote. (Of course this is not true. I just wanna see if facebook will post this. They have not allowed any of my conservative views to be posted)

Is this a great country, or what?
Some of us old timers remember the Russian comedian Yakim Smirnoff, On stage he would say something funny about what's going on in the U.S., then he would laugh and with tongue in cheek say, "Is this a great country, or what"? On a very serious and heartfelt response to the funny guy from Russia, you're right Yakim, this is a very great country.
If only the Socialist Dems on the left would just forget about Crooked Hillary's defeat and just focus on doing all they can to work with our President to maintain this greatness, instead of spending all their time with hatred and verbal assaults on him and his family. Their hatred is blinding them to the true realizations of just how great this country is.
It's horrific when illegals swarm our borders, bringing MS13 and other criminals, along with diseases, unrest, and yes actual hatred for our great country. They even bring flags from their home country while proudly burning our American flag. And yet when they get to our border they are demanding free EVERYTHING from us including housing, food, healthcare, and education. Does anyone think for a second these 2nd and 3rd world country leaders are letting their Doctors, engineers, teachers, etc. migrate to America? But we definitely know they are using our great country to send us MS13, drug and sex-trafficking criminals from their own countries.
Why aren't these illegal staying in their own countries and fight to have a better way of life?
Maybe they can take a page or two from our own great country. First, our great country was dominated by the tyrannical British Empire, and with our overwhelming desire for independence and peace we defeated the evil tyrants in the 1770's which gave birth to our United Sates of America. Instead of fleeing here why don't these immigrants fight for their own independence and peace in their respective countries?
Another war on our own soil erupted in 1861 to abolish slavery and advance freedom equally to all. America was victorious in both wars, even though Democrat leaders at the time wanted to maintain slavery. Let us never forget brave American with their strong desire for independence, peace, and freedom fought and died in these two great wars. Since then every war, cold-war, and battle has been won by people who love our America and are proud to honor
our National Anthem and flag.
And just maybe an equal tragedy is many of our own American-born citizens jump on the hate-America bandwagon; Kaepernick, Chubby Michael Moore, Arquette family, Will & Grace. Even Barry Soetero, after only two weeks in office, went on a tour to other countries to "apologize" for America's greatness.
We now have a president that truly believes America is the greatest country ever in the world today. He works tirelessly every day to make our country even greater. God bless you President Trump. If you choose NOT to have your freedoms damaged with the Socialist agendas put forth by Bernie, Pocahontas, Biden, etc., then you only have one pure logical vote to make to assure America stays great: DONALD J. TRUMP in 2020.
And that's Politics with Pete for today....God bless our country and our troops.

Ah, the olive branch
My wife keeps telling me I live in a la-la fantasy land. I keep reiterating to her and anyone else I talk to and the few supporters that read my blogs..."What If". My main issue on my what if scenario has to do with President Trump, the media, Socialist Dems, and our beloved Hollywood elites.
Today's blog really started yesterday while visiting my granddaughter and her family. Her father-in-law was also there, and we talked a little politics, as he is a strong Trump supporter like me. My friend Ron said, "I'm a big Trump supporter, but why does he have to tweet so much"? So I "dove" into my Trump-Tweeting support mode. I told my friend that I hope our President continues to tweet, in fact, I hope he cranks it up some.
President Donald J. Trump loves this country, and especially the American people. He wants his messages to the American people be disseminated fairly and honestly by the media. President Trump realized early on in his presidency the hatred and vitriol thrown at him since he began his first term in the White House by the media. Just what if the media held out an olive branch to President Trump? Think of the positive reaction from the White House and Americans.
Five days before the 2016 election our beloved media had Crooked Hillary up by 13 points in the polls leading up to the election. In fact, on election day morning in November, 2016 the media, led by CNN and MSNBC, reflected Hillary up by 10 points. CNN and MSNBC declared Crooked Hillary the 45th. President even before many voting sites throughout the country even closed.
Many thought the hatred toward Mr. Trump would end with the election, and many thought the media would watch the President to see results before painting him as an inept, corrupt, racist, and white supremicst president. These accusations began on Inauguration Day, January, 2017, and are steadily increasing, continuing to this day. It matters not what he has accomplished with our economy, low unemployment, jos for minorities, etc., etc.
President Trump is a strong leader who is just looking for a "fair shake" from the media, but instead the media just reports lies and hatred to the American people. So our President, who is a strong-willed leader basically told the media, "I'll just report directly to the American people myself". I guess the media thought he was going to fold and step back. This man is a true strong leader. He's not a politician, so he doesn't answer to lobbyists or any other "favor seeking" entity.
Now back to my fantasy: The media offers an olive branch by start going to press briefings asking fair, decent, and respectful questions. And then reporting the answers fairly, honestly, and with integrity. Suddenly then President Trump stops tweeting. Then the Socialist Dems start respecting the office of the Presidency and President Trump himself. Socialist Dems in Congress, specifically people like Schumer, Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff start cooperating with President Trump. And lastly, Hollywood and talkshow hosts stop with the viscious verbal attacks, and begin supporting President Trump.
Apologies for the lentghty blog, but isn't this the greatest country in the world, and what good can come of complete hatred by these Trump-haters? No good ever comes from hatred. Until my fantasy comes to fruition, keep tweeting Mr. President.

LSD
Right this instant, as I'm typing this, thousands of babies are being born all over the world. So, the burning question seems to be, "What makes one child grow to become a decent law-abiding citizen of the world, while another child grows to become an evil-filled monster." Books are written, movies are made, lectures and studies have been made, but no one wants to face the ultimate truth. It all starts in the family.
'Starts in the family' seems to be a phrase that doesn't interest a major part of our society. In this maddening, out-of-control gun violence going on right now, it seems there is plenty of blame to go around. It's the NRA's fault, it's Trump's fault, and my favorite, "it's the gun manufacturers' fault". Some non-thinkers even blame the gun itself. With that logic maybe we should stop building automobiles.
Just plain old common sense will show that cities with gun-free zones are the cities that have the highest gun crimes. And we all know what that means, but are not willing to accept, and that means criminals will never, never, ever abide by any gun laws. So does anyone have any answer to the gun violence happening now in Chigao, L.A., Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, etc.? Is there anyone who actually believes criminals will ever begin to abide by any type of "gun reform"?
Criminals are just laughing at us, just hoping good law-abiding citizens obey all the gun reform laws. It certainly makes their life of crime and violence much easier. Now add to that scenarios that many city mayors, especially Socialist Dem mayors actually give direct orders to their police forces to "stand down" during protests. This can be seen openly during Antifa protests. Criminals are just not afraid of any police presence while they unlawfully carry on a life of crime and unruly protests with no respect or regard for law.
I always tell people that I was raised on LSD....Love-Support-Discipline. Raising a child the right way is one of the hardest jobs you'll ever have, but if done correctly, is absolutely the most rewarding job you'll ever experience. Being raised in a Judeo-Christian environment with strong family values in a two-parent family certainly doesn't guarantee a child won't turn to crime, but the odds are certain guaranteeing the child has a chance to grow into a law-abiding and contributing member of society.
When that miracle emerges from its mother's womb there isn't a set of instructions on its backside with instructions to the parents on how to raise the child. Does anyone believe that a parent wishes their child leads a life of crime? Of course not. Most parents are pulling for and supporting their son/daughter to grow into a law-abiding contributing member of society.
As parents we are obligated to provide our children with a safe, free, and loving home and environment. Society agrees that child has a greater chance to accomplish success in a two-parent family. It's important for a growing child to know they have the love, guidance, and support of both parents. Many children in inner city urban areas are greeted in this world with never knowing who their father is, or what prison their mother is currently living in. Our children deserve better if they are going to succeed in life.
Someday we are going to turn over this country, this world to our younger generation, and it is the duty of all parents to prepare them for their future and thd the future of our country. If our children believe that they are the most important people in their parents' lives, then it's a very good chance that legacy will continue when they become parents.
And that's Politics with Pete for today...God bless our country and our troops.

Switzerland's got it right.
Did you hear/read about all those mass shootings in schools, churches, homes, and malls in Switzerland? Me neither. And there are many people in the world, including me, believe that mass shootings in Switzerland won't happen. Anyone wonder why?
Switzerland's military consists of a mandatory 3-month tour of duty for all men. Women serving are volunteer. and yet is the most peaceful country in the world. Yes, Switzerland has the right idea. Want to know how? Very simply put every citizen is very strongly recommended to have firearms and ammunition in their home. When does it start? When the new-born is in their crib. Protecting the family and the country is foremost in the minds of citizens of Switzerland. Nearly 90% of gun deaths in Switzerland are due to suicides, not pointing and shooting at another human.
Do you know the real reason Hitler never invaded Switzerland? He was actually afraid of the small country of Switzerland. Why? Hitler knew full well that behind every blade of grass in Switzerland was a citizen with a rifle and/or a handgun with unlimited ammunition. It has been 20 years since there was a mas shooting in Switzerland. A disgruntled man stormed a political meeting, killing 14 people, then himself. There is no record of a mass hooting before or since that incident.
Switzerland has continued to be a neutral country for over 200 years, and that is due, for the most part, because its armed citizens compose the military. Firearm ownership is not mandatory among the Swiss population, but what is mandatory is every male join the military for a short stint. This is definitely what you call a well trained militia. And there are no radical political or religious groups entering the country. The well trained military citizenry will not allow it in any form in their country.
Switzerland encourages firearm training, hunting, and even festivals with several shooting contests. No one is alarmed at seeing a young school boy or girl riding a bike to school with a rifle slung over their shoulder. There are very little requests for a concealed carry license. Think about it. Why conceal? Most citizens have firearms and display them openly anyway. Would you not agree that the main reason there are no convenience store robberies, or home invasions, or mass shootings among the Swiss is because the evil cowards know they will not be the only ones brandishing a weapon in a store, school, or home.
Americans need only to review the "gun-free zones" of L.A., Chicago, New York, Detroit, St. Louis, and Baltimore. Does anyone really belive that criminals even read any gun law regulations in these cities. Shootings occur everyday in the schools, businesses, and homes in America, especially cities hat have strict anti-gun laws and gun free zones. Criminals actually laugh at our gun laws in hopes there will be more gun laws for the law-abiding citizens to blindly obey. It just makes their life of crime easier.
And where does it all lie? In the family of course. Young children in Switzerland are raised to respect and train in firearms. They are encouraged to hunt and take part in festivals that involve shooting contests. To the few people that read my blogs, I encourage you to go on Bing/Google and research Switzerland gun laws. It is truly eye-opening and amazing.
In closing I am going to hope and pray that someday America will adopt Switzerland's mandatory military service participation and gun ownership laws and policies. Way to go Swiss. You're doing it right.
And that's Politics for Pete for today. God bless our country and our troops.

Americans need only to review the "gun-free zones" of L.A., Chicago, New York, Detroit, St. Louis, and Baltimore. Does anyone really belive that criminals even read any gun law regulations in these cities. Shootings occur everyday in the schools, businesses, and homes in America, especially cities hat have strict anti-gun laws and gun free zones. Criminals actually laugh at our gun laws in hopes there will be more gun laws for the law-abiding citizens to blindly obey. It just makes their life of crime easier.
And where does it all lie? In the family of course. Young children in Switzerland are raised to respect and train in firearms. They are encouraged to hunt and take part in festivals that involve shooting contests. To the few people that read my blogs, I encourage you to go on Bing/Google and research Switzerland gun laws. It is truly eye-opening and amazing.
In closing I am going to hope and pray that someday America will adopt Switzerland's mandatory military service participation and gun ownership laws and policies. Way to go Swiss. You're doing it right.
And that's Politics for Pete for today. God bless our country and our troops.
