WE'RE BAAAAACK! AMERICA'S REPUTATION IS REPAIRING.

After eight years of bowing, shoulder shrugging and window dressing diplomacy, America, finally has its machismo back, at long last, America has a real POTUS in the oval office. The world needs to take notice. Gone are the days of feckless speeches and inaction from our nation. Gone are the days of paying our lunch money to the bullies of the world, while phony politicians tell us, it is a victory. Gone are the days of being schooled by our enemies while our Commander in Chief responds sheepishly, while sitting in a golf cart.

No, Obama's foreign policy record was a train wreck involving a domino of carnage that was left to rot in the sun for the next administration to bury. The political diplomacy garbage, that the Progressives passed off as designer decor, was faux, hollow and weak and is finally being carted off back to the landfill of useless idealism from which it was birthed. America, is no longer in the hands of progressive snowflakes that believe every solution to a problem, poses a political insensitivity issue, so let's just ignore the problem and hope fairy tales come true.

Yes, the United States is back baby. America swagger is getting stronger. American leadership is back on track and the days of hemming and hawing are starting to be a small memory seen in our rear view mirror. The adults are now in charge of our foreign policy and they see the world for what it is and deal with it in a no nonsense approach. 

It is a foreign policy that Democrats and media pan as blunt and undiplomatic, that libertarians view as violating the sanctity of isolationism and the neo-cons hope will bring us closer the WW3. Yet, it is not a foreign policy devoid of  diplomacy, and no we can't continue to ignore the growing strength of our enemies waiting for attacks to breach our shores, nor is it a warmongering battle cry. Trump's foreign policy presentation bespeaks less talk and more action. It is a far more traditional American foreign policy for it displays strength, boldness and confidence, that bullies will back down when confronted with tangible proof, that America means business.

America has always in our long history presented boldness, rational thinking, moral imperatives and a willingness to lead and not be bullied. When a dog growls but wags its tail, you don't know if it will bite, but if it nips your leg, then you give the dog the benefit of doubt and back away. America is that dog and it is time our enemies start backing up. 

Unlike the two tailed Obama dog that had no head or leadership to present to the world, Trump is leading front and center. He is re-establishing America's reputation in the world after Obama eight years of appeasement, inaction and neutering of our political will and military might.

This Foreign Policy is old and traditional for it presents America as we are,  honest, unapologetic, decisive yet unpredictable, bold but respectful, friendly as treated and savage as needed. The Progressives don't recognize this traditional foreign policy because it is smart, old and so very pro-typical  American. It is Reagan-esque, "Peace through strength."

No, this is not how the Democrat's media scripted their slamming of Trump as the Manchurian plant of Russia, that was suppose to ruin his administration. This strike against Syria and calling out Russia  as complicit in the chemical weapon attack, can't be a good story line for the Democrats to snow, sell and spray into the air as fact, to convince even the most gullible ears, that Trump is a puppet of Putin. A puppet is not designed to humiliate its owner.

The new story line for the Democrat's media, is that Trump is betraying his voter base by striking Syria and negotiating with China. The media thinks it can convince Trump supporters that he is reneging on his campaign promises. 

How exactly is Trump doing that? Is he doing that by bombing Syria, after Assad used chemicals weapons on civilians repeatedly under Obama with no rebuke, except talk of a red line? Is he doing that by publically calling out the Russians for their collusion with Assad's chemical attacks? Is he doing that by allowing our military to drop the MOAB (GBU-43) or the Massive Ordinance Air Blast over the ISIS and Taliban hideouts in Afghanistan? Is he doing that by giving China a choice between a carrot or a stick, by offering the carrot of more favorable trade, if they get control over North Korea and defuse its nuke program, or stick, by suggesting we will undertake the task without their help or advice and if the fallout hurts their interest, then so be it?

Explain to us, oh wise and witty media, how exactly does America acting in its own best interest betray Trump's promise to "Make America Great Again"? Explain how America becomes great, if North Korea launches a missile strike at California? Explain how America becomes great, if the use of chemical weapons on civilians becomes a legitimate tactic of conventional warfare? Explain how America becomes great, if we continue to act feckless and fearful to a handful of world thugs and bullies that have been trying to hurt us politically, (hacking and cyber war) economically, (unfavorable trade) and militarily (terrorism). Explain, how repeating the head burrowing by the Obama administration is what Trump promised on the campaign trail?

Trump promised not to be a war hawk and involve America in conflicts that risked our lives and fortunes without any compensation for our efforts, economically and morally. All of the our soldier's blood spilled in Iraq and we didn't get squat. No oil, no thanks, no peaceful trading partner and Iraq was and is currently, overrun by ISIS and Iran. 

Trump said he would bomb the hell out of ISIS. Trump said he would not give our enemies advance warning as to how, when and what we would do, if they acted in aggression against our interests. Trump said he would always ensure that America's interests would be first and foremost in his administration.

He has not betrayed that overarching principle. He has no foreign policy details because his foreign policy is wide open, it is flexible to those nations that want to cooperate with us and inflexible to those seeking to hurt us. Too simple for you, media? Too un- nuanced for your taste? Too sane, reasonable and or Reagan-esque for your liking?

Well unlike the McCain-thumping, Graham-prancing never-Trump neo-cons and Hillary screeching for arms and bombs to be sent to unknown Syrian fighters (perhaps ISIS) we dodged that nightmare. Neither Hillary's desire to relocate more refugees into our country, her warped vision of a multicultural European-styled America, fret with debt and downfall, lost, and isn't in charge. Equally, the  never-Trump, neo-cons that want to start WW3, lost, and are thankfully not, in charge.  Sane foreign policy has returned America to the world stage, donning a familiar face of traditional American values, representing the land of the free and the home of the brave. 

Barely in office, and without a real friend in the leadership of the Congressional swamp of Washington, Trump is so far doing quite well with his supporters. The American people know to be patient and understand, Rome wasn't built in a day. Tackling Washington's swamp of snapping turtles, lizards, snakes, rats and gators can't all be caught, bagged and tagged, instantly. The Democrats and Rinos will hide, attack and then hide again under the murky water of their political campaign promises, and we must hold them accountable.

 

If we are to help the President, then we must ignore the bashing media and instead bash our Reps living in the swamp, telling them to either jump on board Trump's raft, or suffer your wrath, at the polls. If we want America to return to greatness domestically, we need to put pressure on our representatives to fulfill their promise to repeal Obamacare and shrink federal power. If we want to make "America great again", then we need to replace "hope and change" with honor, duty and strong American values.     

RYAN IS "MASTER OF THE HOUSE" OF THE MISERABLE WASHINGTON SWAMP

The Wisconsin Representative that bashed and dismissed Trump during the 2016 election, has introduced the new administration to his "band of soaks" that are more interested in serving their lobbyist donor masters than the American people. The GOP Congress is filled with "cunning little brains, regular Voltaires, think they quite good lovers but there's not much there." ( LES MISRERABLES, Musical from the song MASTER OF THE HOUSE)

As "keeper of the zoo" Speaker Ryan tried to hoodwink conservative Americans again, by introducing a backroom  health care bill that "Charge 'em for the lice, extra for the mice, two percent for looking in the mirror twice." This Ryancare bill once again proves that the so-called two political parties are instead, one common "den of dissolute's" that Ryan is not a "gent of good intent" as he works for lobbyists and special interest while being a hypocrite claiming to work for the average citizen.  

The GOP used the voter's anger over Obamacare in their re-election campaigns. Over and over in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016, they promised to repeal Obamacare if they were given the majority. Now that payment is finally come due, what do they do? They give us, "Food beyond compare. Food beyond belief. Mix it in a mincer, and pretend its beef. Kidney of a horse, liver of a cat, filling up the sausages with this and that." 

Certainly the lobbyist for the insurance companies were happy with a bill that would unwind Obamacare slowly while they scooped up their profits off the table, but it would have done little to help the average premium payer. Trump might be the President of the people, but Paul Ryan is a servant of the lobbyists, and a butler to the great swamp of Washington insiders.

RyanCare  was as slick and stealthy as Pelosi's reconciliation trickery. After years of promising to repeal Obamacare and replace it with singular reform legislation that would kick the government out of the healthcare business, we got instead, "Here a little slice, there a little cut, three percent for sleeping with the window shut. When it comes to fixing prices, there are a lot of tricks, I knows, how it all increases, all them bits and pieces" my gosh "it's amazing how it grows."

Trump should be disappointed. However, Trump did not fail his supporters, Ryan failed Trump. In fact, this failed Ryancare bill is a win. It is a win for conservative principles, a win for the Freedom caucus conservatism, that helped elect Trump, and a win against those Democrats and Republicans twits "isn't worth my spit" swamp rats, that have played us for fools for too long. 

The American people are tired of being told by Congress that a huge bill must be rushed and or that we need them to "pass the bill, to know what's in it" that we suspect will screw the taxpayers, yet again.

Perhaps Trump has learned a lesson from Speaker Ryan. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on all of us. Paul Ryan is NOT the Speaker for the American household, NOT the Speaker for the working citizen, NOT the Speaker for small government freedom fighters. 

No Speaker Paul Ryan coming on the heels of John Boehner is a "cruel trick of nature, that landed us (me) with such a louse, God knows how we've (I've) lasted living with this bastard in the House."

Time for Trump to take Speaker Ryan's word as the voters do, with a grain of salt, skepticism, suspicion first, then get control out of his "toady" hands so he can't renege and then, only then "Everybody raise a glass, raise it up to the master's arse.

 Only when Paul Ryan and his merry band of never Trump rino swamp water inbreeds start acting on behalf of the interests of the American people will "Everybody raise a glass to the Master (Speaker) of the House. Until then, Trump needs to be leery of the "sons of whores, who spend their lives in the (my) inn."

The health care bill that was just defeated is a win against same old swamp rules, now let's put pressure on these corrupt Washington "homing pigeons" that "fly" against patriot values, that it is time to "crawl on all fours" and repeal Obamacare, completely, immediately and permanently, and pass sensible laws that help to lower health care cost to consumers while keeping big government mandate hands out of the mix.

SMART PHONES, STUPID REPRESENTATIVES, AND THE C-RIMINAL I-NQUISITOR A-GENCY

Is anyone shocked by the release of the CIA secret spy kit, by Wikileaks that ominously named their disclosure Vault7? Is anyone surprised our government could not keep their secrets secret? Is anyone still naive enough, to trust a government that has been exposed as a sneaky snake, injecting its viperous venom against the 4th amendment right of citizens? The short answer, and the sad answer, is no. The belief in a government conspiracy, to hack, bug, spy, wiretap, eavesdrop, and remotely control everything from cars to residential electric smart meters, is a conspiracy theory that had legs, long before it had footprints, and now it has both. Its shadow walks brazenly into our bedrooms.

 

Weeping Angel is a fitting name, for a spy virus that devilishly eavesdrops via our turned off smart televisions, for that is a godless fallen angel, that flies in a  warrantless hell, making us all weep at the depth of the state's devilishness. 

The American public is beyond outrage, beyond trusting our Representatives in Washington, beyond ever returning to a naive notion, that our government is an innocuous federal body that seeks to protect its citizenry. The intelligence agencies in our government have been exposed, for what we always suspected them to be, a combination of corrupt and inept bureaucrats, we can't trust. 

The unholy mix of deception and bumbling has left the spy door wide open for even more sinister forces to enter our homes and lives. Wikileaks provided information on our government's spyware but also disturbingly informed us that many non-government entities, sub-contractors etcetera, have this spyware toolkit. 

Basically, the secret intelligence is not only no longer secret or intelligent, it has lied to American citizens, and invited security breaches into our internet devices. Through its deception and ineptitude, it has allowed this covert toolkit to fall into the hands would be sinister agents and hackers, by not keeping its own firewall hack free. Now, we all suffer intrusions into our private lives through their careless negligence. Like a doctor that treats you for an illness you don't have, then kills you with medication, the CIA has opened up Pandora's box on all our devices.

Their covert and underhanded mass spying shows arrogance and an infringement upon the right of free citizens to be protected from fact gathering before any unlawful act is committed. If upon some other time you are under investigation, can the government use the warrantless data already collected (in Utah's Metadata facility) to arm prosecutors with dirty data on you? Can they blackmail any American they wish? Can the government destroy your career, reputation and financially ruin you, even if they can't convict you. They can, they have, and they do. It is one of the big reasons Trump supporters want a smaller limited federal government.

Welcome to the new world of Orwellian order. Our smart technology has been treating us as fools at the feast, where we are the guests of honor as our privacy and rights are treated as a joke. Regardless of whether you buy or use this connected technology, you are caught up in its wide "peeping tom" snare of spying, like it or not. 

You can't live today, internet connection free, it isn't about avoiding buying a smart TV or the latest cell phone to keep ahead of the CIA, for it is almost impossible to buy any product in the modern world, be it  a car, dishwasher, or a microwave or that doesn't have remote internet connections. So unless you want to buy an old fashioned washboard, build a fire pit to cook your meals, eat squirrels and live "off grid" in a cave, our government can monitor you, spy on you, keep a covert dossier on you,  without a warrant, or rhyme or reason under the guise of national security. Does this make you feel safe or violated?

There is no longer any spy-safe privacy in America today, on every street corner stop light, shop and public park have cameras today watching our movements. So don't fight that traffic ticket because the camera doesn't lie. Or does it? Doctoring video is not difficult even for a novice, so would you trust this government not to doctor the footage if they were viewed you as their enemy? We do know this, not one official was convicted, fired or even slightly reprimanded for using the IRS as a political weapon against conservatives. Shouldn't that make it clear, that our government's politicians and bureaucrats don't follow the laws they write for us? Indeed, the incredibly voluminous and capricious laws that exist today, allows the federal actors to gang up on any one of us. That's called tyrannical power.

Beyond their covert spying is the lesser known government use of "administrative subpoenas". An administrative subpoenas is just as it sounds, a subpoena (warrant) issued not by the courts, but rather by a federal agency, (such as ATF for example) that claims a right to force an electric power company, a medical records company, a phone company and or all manner of businesses to hand over access to customer information and records, per their own un-reviewed suspicions of wrongdoing. No court or independent body is required in an administrative subpoena. Does that sound constitutional to you?

Meanwhile the NSA has billions of bits of data collected on law abiding citizens, and they haven't been forced to destroy this unwittingly, ill-gotten information they are storing in Utah. No, our dufus politicians in Congress do nothing to protect our 4th Amendment rights, either before, during and even after the warrantless invasions of our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Our privacy is being violated whole scale and instead, of thwarting the contamination of our constitutional rights by elitist agencies that play god with our fate and fortunes, lawmakers grow fat with pompous proclamations that citizens are being protected. 

It has been going on for years and neither Congress nor our court system seems to think this is an unlawful affront to our 4th amendment rights. The ends justifies the means, attitude by our government's anti-terror catch-all excuse, is boundary less, lawless and over ripe with corruption.

Media has the gall to defend Obama against wiretapping allegations during Trump's campaign, even when it was media that reported that un-named intelligence officials claimed General Flynn's phone calls were recorded, and that the transcripts proved he lied about the content of his conversations with the Russian ambassador regarding sanctions. That leaker to them was committing a felony.

Right, Obama is going to leave a paper trail for Congress to find, that uncovers the bugs planted in the Trump tower? Seriously? There is no paper, FISA warrant, or any trace evidence to come back and haunt Obama's covert corruption, only a whistleblower, unafraid of deadly reprisal, might unearth the buried bones of truth. Yet, even without evidence, does anyone believe it didn't happen?  

  

There are reasons we need spying, and Americans understand that, however, there is still that pesky thing called the Constitution and the 4th Amendment, that regardless of today's technological advances remains sacred to the people. The onus is not on the consumer to live in a cave in order to protect their freedom, privacy and rights, the burden is on our government to respect due process, and get their warrantless noses out of our personal devices.  

Congress should require the Utah facility to either justify keeping data on law-abiding citizens or demand we all have a copy of their extensive information on us, to insure it cannot be used in any court against us. FISA courts need to be brought out to the light of day. The Patriot Act needs to be amended to insure warrants are secured. Stupid representation must be replaced with office holders that both understand and uphold the Constitution. And the CIA needs to do less sneaking and leaking on American citizens, especially for political reasons. 

Americans are not afraid of the Russians, we are pounding our shoes on the table, because we are more worried about criminal moles inside our own government, that if left in place, and are allowed to operate with reckless treason, well it would be a grave mistake. Indeed, we would be burying, the home of the brave and land of the free.

 

Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you! (Khrushchev)
