WITH SOUR GRAPES YOU MAKE WHINE

The "Never Trump" bunch, along with frustrated supporters of Ted Cruz and other candidates that failed to win the GOP presidential nomination, must dry their eyes, shrug their shoulders and make peace with the results.

Everyone has the post primary blues and the "I don't like either candidate" doldrums prior to a general election. Runners up, are not crowned king, bridesmaids don't walk down the aisle and when your home team loses the pennant, sometimes it is your team's worst rival that makes it to the world series. However, conservatives need to stay focused on what is important, not on what might have been, and remain focused to defeat liberals and social progressive policies.

Left leaning Republicans (RINOs) are attacking Trump, with some, even claiming that they will vote for Hillary. If ever there was a Shakespearian moment of truthful soliloquy then these trashing the candidate asides by establishment Republicans, cynically, answer for us, the often asked loyalty question, as to whether they: be or not be, genuine conservatives.  Because what they fail to realize, is that Trump represents the will of the people. Publically discrediting Trump, is tantamount to arrogantly snubbing the American voter and ignoring Americans viewpoint on policies.

Wise or not, thoroughbred or not, traditional or not, Trump was elected because of the positions he took on three major policy issues, Immigration, Trade Pacts and the restoration of the American economic engine. They want border laws enforced, they want trade to not cost jobs and they want the federal government to stop micromanaging business through over regulation. In fact on almost every major policy issue, the public demands reform. Shouldn't that tell you something? Senator, Congressperson?

It should humble your ego and make you look for the ticket window in the depot, so you can board the right train that rumbled you into Washington and that can equally transport you back home. It should remind you that as a representative of the people, that it doesn't matter how "you" think but rather how "they" think, the American voter, about public policy. It should inspire you to make peace with one man (Trump) in order to create a better America for average Americans clamoring for these policy changes.

Instead, too many of these pompous potentates of puffery can't see behind their enormous ego. They have the audacity to call out Trump as an egoist, but how egotistical is it, to ignore millions of American voters? The answer appears to be part of why people are angry. Washington won't listen to anyone but big donors and the Middle Class's patience with politicians is threadbare thin.

One would think, that instead of whining about what might have been. Instead of complaining that Trump isn't a conservative. Instead of creating doubt as to whether you will support the party, why not play a positive role. Be a representative in the true sense of its commitment and stump for Trump while reminding him every chance you have his ear, that he can't change his policies and betray the voters. Then you would be doing something useful and constructive as a representative of your conservative constituency.

 

Pundits say it is up to Trump to unite the Republican Party, but I think the political spinners are wrong. It is up to the representatives to rally round their flagpole winner.  Ryan and McConnell must govern for the people instead of continually serving the corporately bought  beltway, and getting every policy issue backwards and inside out.

All this chatter about Trump lying to the voters is amusing considering that it is coming from politicians (Romney, Rubio, Graham) that have done nothing but swindle conservative votes for decades. The debate is over. The left leaning GOP is a dying dinosaur. The American public is not in a very forgiving mood, so it behooves all the "hate Trump" crowd to either sit down and clamp shut, or join Hillary's campaign.

Real conservatives, principled conservatives will support Trump's presidential campaign. Will stay vocal about the policy issues that America needs to change, and will vilify the only candidate that should be called out as a sour grape in the political vine; crooked Hillary Clinton.

SLOW AND IMPERIOUS!

On December 14, 2010  an American border agent Brian Terry was killed by guns allowed to walk across the border by the ATF's sting operation known as "Fast and Furious" that started in 2009.  Pursuant to a  lawsuit filed by Congress, the court finally burped out a ruling in January 2016, that required the administration to release a portion of documents requested by the oversight committee. 

Now three months after that court ruling and almost 5 years after the scandal first broke, the Department of Justice is releasing some, (not all) of that portion of documents required by the court ruling and demanded by the House and Senate.

 

Obama used Executive Privilege to shield Attorney General Eric Holder and his Department of Justice officers, allowing them to withhold documents for years regarding the gun-running scheme. Congress then sued for the documents claiming that Obama could not use Executive Privilege in order to deny the Terry family or the American people, the right to know the extent of the government's involvement in this deadly so called anti-crime caper.

After a long laborious court battle the square cement wheels of justice, have finally rolled the cart of corruption forward, where it is spilling a little more of its oozing load of backhanded culpability onto the public street. Congress is just now weeding through voluminous notes and e-mails looking for evidence. Meanwhile, most Americans believe justice for the Terry family and countless others, deadly affected by our government's Machiavellian arrogance, will never be served to those that deserve punishment.   

"Justice delayed is justice denied" is a quote by William Gladstone a 19th century British politician, but its razor edged truth has not dulled with time. This Administration has used delay, deflection and subversion as its modus operandi from the very first days in office and will shamelessly have all its henchmen and women safely far away, from viewing vertical iron bars and wearing orange jumpsuits, when it finally folds its occupy the White House tents, for good, next year.

It is one thing to have a deliberate and due process system that protects the rights of citizens from being falsely or unjustly imprisoned, but if our justice system is so slow and imperious to the need for a swift end to the withholding or the destruction of evidence, by our government, then there isn't justice, but rather elitist absolution.

The Obama administration has been turning its back to Congress knowing the chamber is just a room full of rubber cleavers. He is unconcerned that his iniquitous activities would earn them a stab of ethical retribution or legal accountability.

Why have our representatives done nothing to government violators of our laws, while the average citizen experiences swift and heartless legal enforcement? Given the corruption of Holder's justice system they should have passed an independent counsel bill, to sharpen the cleaver blade. 

There is a difference between government scandals that involve innocent citizens being killed or financially ruined, versus government waste. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS targeting, need swift justice not years of stalling. Retribution needs to be swift and harsh to send a strong deterrent message to those people in government who are involved with callous acts against the citizenry. Otherwise animosity between the government and the people ferments a cynical loathing by both, and then government power becomes routinely abusive. 

Waco, Ruby Ridge and now the recent FBI shooting of Lavoy Finicum involved in the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge center in Oregon, make all Americans wonder, "Do citizens matter"? Whether you think the ranchers should have been protesting and trespassing on federal lands, or not, was killing a man necessary? When did vandalism and trespassing rise to a death sentence in America? Why didn't the FBI let this man go turn himself in, to the county sheriff? 

Not all government corruption is equal, just as not all crime, involves sirens and paddy wagons. For instance, police are not called when there is a beating by a sadist married to a masochist. Police are not called when parents are robbed by their drug addicted child. Police are also not called when criminal gangs are warring with criminal gangs.

However, if the sadists lays hands on a unwilling victim, or that addicted child robs the neighbors, or those gangs shoot and kill innocent bystanders on the street, then police are called and the community clamors for justice and accountability.

 "Fast and Furious" did spill out onto the street. It is, the sadist government,  the addict government and the gang government spilling out of their haven and harming innocent citizens in three ways. 

First, we citizens have a masochistic tendency to call for laws on every folly in life, unwittingly causing more pain to a wider group of people. The government sadists love it, because they protect their own, but for the rest of us, more laws, only results in less freedom. Most Americans believe that our justice system has ceased to be blind, and there are sadly those who live, above the law. Today, it seems that only  unconnected citizens suffer consequences under the federal code.

Second, as government is addicted to money and power, we as citizens continue to enable our addicted Congress persons by re-electing them back into office rather than tossing them out. Too many inept and constitutionally ignorant House and Senate representatives hold on to power because we refuse to demand accountability. How can we not, expect that our rights will be altered, ignored or legislated away, when we refuse to stand up to Washington corruption?

Three, government departments are like gangs. When they engage in turf wars with each other we have incidences like 911 or the Boston Marathon bombing, in which all of us, trusting citizens are victims, thought of only as collateral damage by the bureaucracy. There are people dead and missing limbs, because the DHS and the FBI, acted politically correct rather than err on the side of American safety. (The Tsarnaev family should never have been granted asylum by DHS, and the FBI should have deported Tamerlan Tsarnaev.)

Worse, when government agencies join forces in a collective gang to harass citizens, it becomes a conspiratorial cabal as rotten and thuggish as any section of a major city where street gangs set the rules.

When citizens like Catherine Engelbrecht, start a civic minded group called True the Vote, in order to ensure that elections are not filled with fraud, instead of our government celebrating her participation in helping to keep elections clean, they ganged up to shut her down. The IRS, BATF, OSHA, EPA and FBI all investigated Engelbrecht family and their business because they don't like conservative groups exposing government and Party corruption. Countless other Americans have been harassed and financially hurt (Gibson Guitar) by bureaucrats empowered by a lazy Congress. 

Our government has spied on us, lied to us, used unwarranted investigation to intimidate us, forced lawful gun dealers to sell to drug dealers across the border and when these scandals result in the ultimate price of death, we as citizen expect more. Much, much, more than a grandstanding hearing by pompous politicians promising to make law changes to ensure abuses don't repeat. We want all those at the ATF and Justice Department, IRS, Veterans Administration, FBI who abused their power and caused citizen's irreparable harm to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Doesn't law enforce clamor for swift and strong justice in order to deter future crimes? Where is citizen justice for a corrupt government?

Unless citizens demand smaller more accountable government, from both political parties, then tyranny will slowly but imperiously shadow every citizen's doorway, and government edicts will be fast and furiously tyrannical, while guilty government officials remain free to be above the law. Is this the government, that so many brave Americans have died to preserve?  How perverse are American values today, that we are willing to allow government to get away with murder?    

NEITHER FRIEND NOR FOE, JUST FAUX PROTESTING

For decades the Democrat Party and billionaire backers like George Soros, have stirred the street with  radical liberal gangs seeking to convince average Americans that their liberal fascists viewpoint was righteous and very popular.

For years the news media gave these small bands of agitators, exaggerated size, grassroots identity and moral legitimacy even though none of those facts represent the true measure of these organized dissenters.

However, as successful the media has been in the past, at falsely portraying the left's manufactured political mob as real although faux, the latest band of overacting players starring in "Black Lives Matter" (BLM) replete with its calculated histrionics, has finally shamed their sham.

The professional protesting puppets of the left have taken their act from a "War on women"  scene to a "War on Wall Street" scene to the obscene scene, a "War on cops". The BLM movement's script loses credibility because it makes choir boys out of thugs, uses wrong to correct wrong, by profiling cops and  conflating the issue of police brutality that makes heroes out of criminals while accepting no accountability, and offering no solutions. How can anyone believe the sincerity of those shouting the slogan "Black lives matter" when forthright Americans spontaneously intone "All lives matter" and are defamed as racists.

 

 If the BLM protesters really cared about the legitimate concern of police using unwarranted deadly force, then this parody on parade, would not turn against average Americans when they denounce the devaluing of any life. They would use that alliance to bring awareness to the issue and the need for our peace officers to be equipped and trained in non-lethal methods to subdue threatening and belligerent suspects. 

Instead, this canned group, alienates all who won't, chant their militant slogan. Only a counterfeit group with a spurious script and a staged agenda, would rather stir up tension and animosity rather than bring a broader and more inclusive awareness into the public viewpoint.

So given the political left's penchant for cultivated sophism pranced out by media as candid and heartfelt, we can say, the jig is up. The Bastille has been stormed, and the phony-baloney paid sign makers and shakers have walked their last mock, with the in league media covering up their plastic pretense with lies about it being spontaneous activism. 

The veil has dropped and the faux brick wall has cracked, revealing its paper Mache cheapness. Americans are not buying the fakery anymore. Americans are not believing the delusion anymore. Americans have seen the synthetic fabric of liberal whole cloth lies and the left can't mislead them anymore.

Many Americans wonder how these spoiled prodigy of a free nation have the time to dance on the street spitting their contrived rhetoric and lighting flames to our flag of liberty? Most of the hard working Americans worried for their country are spending more and more of their limited time at their job or jobs, without the ability to do any marching, save their commute home.

People are realizing that only the college youth and the EBT card carriers along with their retired flower power sixties parents are able to ride the sanctimonious poster bus from city to city intoning simpering slogans with hollow meanings. The rest of America is busy, tired and fed up with ideologues playing on our emotions.

This is one of the reasons why career politicians are in disfavor this election cycle, and this is also why the media is abhorred. Yes, this is also why the country is seething in resentment against a corporate corrupt government and the globalist godless thieving of our republic by the law-breaking, law-makers in Washington.

 

In this presidential election the antics of faux protests and misdirected polls that equally includes the played-out return of accusations of adultery by candidates and musty scandals over faux pas responses to gotcha hypothetical questions, Americans' eyes are glazing over. Americans' stomachs are turning over. Americans' patience is, ... well ... just plain over it.

The political bashing of traditional American beliefs and values by faux protesters, faux media, faux reporters, faux polls, faux Supreme court rulings, faux blind equal justice, faux free trade, faux border security and the faux war on terror has the real American street, resentful, seething and wanting.

That real and genuine grassroots angst has been simmering just under the hard crust of the Beltway bubble and unless Washington sets a new tone and direction there is no doubt, there will be, a true, naturally forming and earth shaking, reckoning. 

OUT TO LEFT'S SOCIAL PROGRESSIVE FIELD

It is striking to witness the liberal arrogance and mindless protestation of the free speech right in America. The Chicago protests of Trump's campaign rally shows how anti-American and ghastly radicalized our youth has become under the cheerleading by Alinsky preaching prophets, that call themselves social progressives.

What is social about shouting down your neighbors viewpoint? What is progressive about inciting violence and hatred out on the city streets? What is the underlying activists message being sent throughout our communities?

 Is that message about throwing off government tyranny? No, these smug socialists want bigger and more intrusive government controls. Are the protests about ridding the government of corruption and  ineptitude? No, they are under the idiotic belief that if guns were banned, crime would vanish, that by taking all the wealth from the rich, poverty would disappear, and by not arresting and prosecuting gang thugs, city streets would be safer.  Are these screeching bullies trying to awaken awareness for a noble  cause? No, these professional puppets are agitators without a cause, clue and coherent complaint. These are the ignorant anarchists indoctrinated by the left's socialists teachers and funded by Fabian fascist globalists.  

The left's tactic of protest involves occupying a street, with a brick wall for brains (OWS), as well as stirring up the militant angst of the black against white anger (BLM) for a moronic and deadly false utopian dream, named socialism. Social Progressive, is just a new American name for Fabian Society members that seek to replace individual freedom with collectivism and private ownership with government ownership.

The wealthy and the globalists elites want the ignorant masses to believe in the nonsense of ideas like the "living wage" so as to better control their potential rivals from gaining a foothold on their upper crusted perch. Socialism helps those with money and power to ward off competition and criticism, by using regulation to kill ambition, and freebies to enslave by reliance. For why would you aspire to achieve more if your needs were being met and how could you fight the hand that feeds those needs?    

Our history was founded on escaping the elites governing the masses, escaping the government running our lives, and the few dictating to the many. The resurgence of socialism has been spoon-fed by the left to a generation of restless dreamers who religiously want to believe in the Fabian fairy tale of Eden on earth.

Worse, our Bill of Rights specifically the First and Second Amendments, have been hijacked by the left to mean  free speech, only for liberal ideas and gun rights only for government and criminals. The everyone in America has rights reality, was lost in translation when it comes to the opposition's viewpoint.

 The left bashes their country's Republic in order to advance an idealist fantasy of equality wrapped in a jackbooted philosophy of amoral indulgence in eccentric behavior. Their tactics of rudeness and belligerent bullying exposes their never-ending hypocrisy of claiming to be victims as they walk over conservative's rights and attack respectful Americans.

The utter emptiness of their objectives to silence Americans that love their God and country, intimidate shop owners and proselytize paganism throughout every American institution, has reached new heights in lows.

Conservatism and libertarian Americans need to realize that the left needs no inciting. The left needs no crises. The left needs no incident at all, to rouse its lost souls, to smugly bully all Americans that believe in law and morality.

Trump's campaign and every one of his political rallies and speeches did not incite the left's antagonism of traditional American values. You may not like Trump, but you can't call yourself a conservative, and blame anyone other than the radical Fabian fascists, their funders, supporters, preachers, teachers and foot soldiers for the attacks and protests, done to suppress conservative expression. 

The fact that Republican leaders have been either silent or quick to blame Trump for the Chicago intimidation of free speech protest is obscene! It is why the Republican base is so angry at the establishment in the Party, they don't get it, and they don't care. 

Conservatives need to stand tall and unified as candidates (Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich), conservatives need to voice condemnation as representative leaders (Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan), and blame the Chicago thuggery on the left, where it was born, bred and continues to be nurtured by the DNC that is inundated by social progressives. 

 

Sadly all want to blame Trump and his supporters, which only illustrates how useless, tainted and estranged the politicians have become to the people they are suppose to represent. The GOP supports nothing, yet they want to claim that Trump isn't conservative? Well, if being conservative in Washington today means ignoring your base, siding with special interests, bashing voters for their choices, and believing in nothing; then put them all in left field, where they belong.  

TAMPERING IN TAMPA

The latest scandal coming out of Washington is that CENTCOM censored and destroyed reports that were painting a more negative picture of the danger of ISIS terrorism and the growing instability in the Mideast. This was done to make the President's foreign policy (some might say, "What foreign policy?") look more effective. 

CENTCOM is short for the United States Central Command which is one of the six areas of the globe that the Pentagon divides up to analyze and track, for an accurate picture of real time threats and intelligence information for both our military and political leaders.

There are nine commands divisions, the six covering the world are CENTCOM, AFRICOM, (all of Africa except Egypt), EUCOM, (Europe and including Turkey and Israel), NORTHCOM, PACOM, and SOUTHCOM, while SOCOM, STRATCOM, TRANSCOM function as operational structure for the military.

The CENTCOM division headquartered in Tampa, Florida, covers twenty countries. These are; Afghanistan, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Uzbekistan and Yemen.

As most Americans know, the CENTCOM region is the hot zone for the ISIS growing expansion of terrorism, the Syrian civil war, the purging of Christian enclaves and the refugee crises. One would expect that information and analysis gathering in this strategic area would be void of politics, and equally empty of misinformation. After all, this is data and fact finding that vows to keep America safe by assessing national security threats before they materialize into deadly realities, and therefore it would be a dereliction of duty to whitewash facts, right?

Although the mainstream media is barely covering this story, the whistleblowers from CENTCOM came to Congress with allegations that reports from military analysts were being heavily edited, and that many were under pressure to write more favorable assessments by their Pentagon superiors. The whistle-blowing over undue White House influence over military intelligence gathering coupled with many rumors that the Obama administration has been purging generals based on their politics rather than their performance so as to replace them with administration friendly obsequious Pentagon pawns, has just found its walking legs.

The House Intelligence Committee, chaired by REP. Devin Nunes has recently revealed that files and e-mails regarding intelligent analysis of ISIS have been deleted at CENTCOM headquarters fueling the whistleblowers claims that Pentagon and White House pressured re-writes of reports, and then destroyed unfavorable drafts, all in the name of political narcissism. Obama's vanity will not allow Americans to know how ineffective are his foreign policies and how the threat of ISIS grows under his rudderless leadership. 

Let's see, the IRS can't find e-mails and files over the conservative targeting scandal because Louis Lerner's hard drive (inexplicably) crashed without backups. The White House has continued to stonewall as to the timeline of the Presidents movements and actions during the Benghazi attack. Hillary Clinton as Secretary Of State had a private non-secured server in which she deleted files and had the server wiped clean. Now we learn that CENTCOM in Tampa had files deleted. Oh but sure, this is just another routine leftist government mistake. At least, that is certainly how the corrupt mainstream media is treating this latest scandal under this morally bankrupt administration.

 Obama's White House spokesperson claims that this scandal matters little because it did not affect the outcome of Obama's foreign policy. Does that sound familiar? "What difference does it make?"

Americans should be furious that under the Democrats our government is operating like a corrupt leftist's orchestra, that plays the only tune they know, Chopin's Funeral March of our constitutional Republic. Since taking office Obama has appointed and promoted only the most obsequious office holders, that are far too willing to commit subterfuge and destroy evidence for their commissar of the White Dacha. 

Once again, our media buries the facts, in the by-the-way news coverage. They are unwilling to join the whistleblowers that have flown out of the government mine to warn us all of the noxious nature of the communists neophytes running the country headlong into its demise.        

Once again, the oversight of Congress is being foiled by the destruction of computer files, and the slow walking committee is chasing a cold trail of scandalous behavior by the most divisive and covert administration to ever hold the White House. 

Once again, no one will be fingered, no one will be charged, no one will be held accountable amid the feckless reckless and rampart reprehensible behavior of both this administration, and their enablers in Congress. 

Will a new Commander in Chief bring integrity to a government so embroiled in amoral fidelity to their political gods, named money and power?

The question most Americans should have, is not, is this administration corrupt, but rather, how broken is our government that so many military and civilian government personnel have forgotten their service oath, and are willing to be loyal to their temporary superior, Obama, rather than their permanent boss, the Constitution and the American people.
