Why We hate Politicians

Look at Washington DC right now.  Actually look at it over the last several years.  Nothing gets done.

We can't change the past so lets focus on the here and now.

Both parties are too busy fighting each other to look at the opportunity right in front of them.  Democrats are too busy trying to discredit Trump instead of sitting down with him and pushing their agenda.  They could actually get some of their agenda in the bills.  Trump isn't a politician, he is a business man and knows the benefits of give and take.  They could really be involved in the changes to Health Care.  Everyone knows that Obama Care is in the midst of full failure without massive change.  Instead they want to sit it out and use it for Political purposes.  The American People just want things done.  The Republicans are the same way.  They would rather do things without the Democrats. 

Democrats and Republicans need to pull their collective heads out of their asses and work together.

The Democrats need to get over the fact that they are the minority party and lost the Presidency.  They need to tell the President and the Republicans, "Lets sit down and talk".  Negotiate and give their ideas and reasons.  Then if you get none of your ideas in or considered, then complain.  But you can't complain if you don't try. 

Health Care is collapsing.  Anyone can tell you that.  It has to be changed.  How it is changed is up to the politicians in  Washington.  The Republicans can't even agree on how to do it.  The Democrats are just sitting back and saying your killing people.  If they would put away their party and just sit down they will get something done.  Will it satisfy everyone, NO.  Never will.  This is the perfect opportunity for both sides to get some of what they want. 

The Republicans need to invite the Democrats in.  Ask them to come to the table.  If they don't show up or refuse then you can show the American People they don't want to be a part of it.  Look at the President.  He has invited the Democrats to the White House for sit downs to discuss things and they have refused.  If you don't think the American People have noticed, then you would be wrong. 

It is time for Politicians to forget about the D or R attached to their name and think about the American People.  Nancy Pelosi doesn't represent America no more that Paul Ryan does.  Every state has their elected officials and they need to work for us and not their political leaders.

When Will the Media and Democrats Move On?

How long will it take for the Democrats and the Media to Move On?  Trump is the President and will be for at least 4 years.

They have tried everything.  The Collusion with Russia tactic, that so far has shown no evidence and a vast majority of people know it for what it is, a witch hunt to stall the agenda.  Obstruction of Justice?  The top two people at the DOJ recommended the termination of James Comey.  A majority of Democrats had called for his Termination.  Again, another attempt to stall the agenda.

The Democrats and Media have been in an all out blitz to discredit that the Trump Presidency is legitimate.  However there has been 5 special house races since Trump won the Presidency and the Republicans have won all 5. 

The Democrats Strategy of being obstructionists and just bashing and being negative appears to not be a winning strategy.  They have tried that from the day that Trump became the Nominee and have failed to realize that strategy is costing them.  They are falling into the trap of believing their own BS.  When you hear the News and the Democrats saying the same thing every day, every broadcast and you still are not winning, at some point you better wake up.

What they have failed to realize is, Trump doesn't care if he works with Republicans or Democrats.  The Democrats have a golden opportunity to be influential in the lawmaking process and the policy process if they will take a seat at the table.  Trump isn't your typical Politician.  He isn't locked in with any one political party.  He leans to the Right, but it appears that he can be swayed by the Left if they take the opportunity.  They have chosen to not be involved.  They are hurting themselves in the process.

What is the Independent Counsel Investigating?

We have heard that there is an Independent Counsel set up to investigate President Trump.  But what we don't know is what is it that he is investigating.

The Russian Collusion?  We have already heard from everyone including Republicans, Democrats, The Attorney General at the Time, Intelligence officials and anyone else who would know, that there is no evidence that Trump or his Team colluded with the Russians.  So why would be investigating this? 

Trumps firing of James Comey?  The President has the right and ability to fire the Dir. of the FBI at any time.  It was expected.  Democrats along with Republicans had called for his firing for months.  After Trump fires him they say it was because of the Russia Investigation.  But read above, there was no evidence that Trump did anything wrong.  Comey even said that directly.

So again, what is the Special Counsel Investigating?

Did Comey Lie in Hearing to Congress? It would Appear So.

The former FBI Director who claimed that Trump "Flat out Lied", appears to have himself lied.  Only he appears to have lied to Congress under Oath. 

FOX News:

“I woke up in the middle of the night ... because it didn’t dawn on me originally that there might be corroboration for our conversation,” Comey told senators. “And my judgment was, I needed to get that out into the public square. And so I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter … because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.” 

The admission itself was dramatic, and drew the scorn of Trump allies. Trump’s personal lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, read a statement blasting Comey for admitting “he unilaterally and surreptitiously made unauthorized disclosures to the press of privileged communications.” 

Kasowitz, however, also said Comey’s testimony was incorrect.

“The public record reveals that the New York Times was quoting from these memos the day before the referenced tweet, which belies Mr. Comey’s excuse,” the statement from Kasowitz said. 

Though Comey claimed he didn't orchestrate the leak until May 16, four days after Trump's May 12 tweet, a New York Times article from May 11 appears to track closely with the memo's contents.

There are in fact striking similarities between that pre-tweet article and Comey's written testimony, suggesting the memo's contents may have been leaked -- by somebody -- before Trump vented on Twitter.

It should be pretty easy to match up whether this is true or not and by looking into the NY Times story from May 11th, the story already seems to follow the memo pretty closely if not exactly.  So it would appear that Comey is not being honest.

Special Investigator Needed for Clinton/Obama

Big news coming out of the Comey hearing on Capitol Hill and it has nothing to do with President Trump.

FOX News -

Former FBI Director James Comey revealed in Senate testimony Thursday that then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch directed him to describe the Hillary Clinton email probe as a "matter" and not an "investigation." 

He also said that the directive, combined with Lynch's unusual Arizona tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton, led him to make his independent announcement regarding the Clinton email probe last July. 

In his closely watched Senate Intelligence Committee testimony otherwise devoted to discussing the circumstances of his firing, Comey said that tarmac meeting was a "deciding factor" in his decision to act alone to update the public on the Clinton probe -- and protect the bureau's reputation. 

"There were other things, significant items," he added, citing how "the Attorney General directed me not to call it an investigation and call it a matter—which confused me."

“That was one of the bricks in the load that I needed to step away from the department,” Comey said, later adding he was concerned Lynch was trying to align the DOJ’s comments with the way the campaign was talking about the probe. “That gave me a queasy feeling,” he said.

Lynch and former President Bill Clinton met on a tarmac in Phoenix, Ariz. on June 27, 2016, which immediately raised questions about whether she—or the Justice Department—could be impartial in the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Days later, Comey called Hillary Clinton’s actions “extremely careless” but declined to recommend charges.

 So it would appear that the former AG was trying to stop the investigation and obstruct Justice.  There is more evidence against the former AG and the Obama Administration than there is of Trump and the Russians.

Russia and the American Election

It seems that the entire Government is up in arms that the Russians might have interfered in the U.S. Elections.  Never mind the still unsubstantiated collusion part.  We will discuss that if there is every any evidence that it actually might have possibly could have happened.

Obama and the Left was outraged that a Foreign Government like the Russians may have been involved in trying to interfere.  WOW! What a bunch of Meanies.  How dare they!

Wait?  Hasn't the United States been involved in many elections of Foreign Governments?  Haven't we tried to tilt elections in favor of the Candidate that we wanted elected?

LA Times 12/13/2016-

The U.S. has a long history of attempting to influence presidential elections in other countries – it’s done so as many as 81 times between 1946 and 2000, according to a database amassed by political scientist Dov Levin of Carnegie Mellon University.

That number doesn’t include military coups and regime change efforts following the election of candidates the U.S. didn’t like, notably those in Iran, Guatemala and Chile. Nor does it include general assistance with the electoral process, such as election monitoring.

For decades, American intelligence agencies have historically used clandestine tactics to put leaders into office who are favorable to U.S. national interests. This practice of meddling dates back to the early days of the CIA and was seen as a necessary strategy to contain the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

It’s something Tim Weiner has explored in great detail. He’s won the Pulitzer Prize for his work on clandestine national security programs, and his books include "Enemies: A History of the FBI" and "Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA.” He says election meddling is not a grey area for the CIA.

“Several months after the CIA was created in 1947, it set out to steal the Italian election in 1948 to support the Christian Democrats who were pro-American, against the socialist Democrats, who were pro-Moscow, and they won,” says Weiner. “It’s just the beginning of a long, long story.”

NPR.org - 12/22/206

This is hardly the first time a country has tried to influence the outcome of another country's election. The U.S. has done it, too, by one expert's count, more than 80 times worldwide between 1946 and 2000. That expert is Dov Levin of Carnegie Mellon University. I asked him to tell me about one election where U.S. intervention likely made a difference in the outcome.

So as you can see this isn't all that uncommon and not this earth shattering event as the Media and Washington would have you believe.  So why all the uproar?

Been a While, Time to Catch Up

A lot of things have happened since I last posted.

The world has really changed and it has gotten completely out of control.  Time to catch up.

Dems Double Standard on FBI Director

I have to just catch myself from completely laughing hysterically every time I see a Democrat on TV complaining about the FBI Director.  The same man that just a few short months they were on the same TV praising for his impartiality and greatness. 

Now things are different?  Oh yes, he doesn't agree with them.  He isn't helping their cause. 

Just completely and totally amazes me. 

To be fair, the FBI Director was doomed no matter what.  He already had half the country wanting his head for not charging Hillary.  He also knew that if he didn't notify congress about what they had found he would be torched again for withholding information until after the election.  So for now he has the Republicans off his back and now the Democrats are jumping on.  However the good news for him is, that they have no credibility.  They have gone on the record of how great he is and how impartial he is.  So they have negated their own argument.

Gotta love politics. 

How Secret Was the Emails Hillary Exposed?

Not only did she have them on an unsecure server, she allowed people without proper clearance to go through them after she was caught.

 You know you got problems when even David Axelrod is calling you out and your a Democrat.
