Why I will vote for Trump

During my long life here in America I have witnessed many elections.  I have heard so many promises from politicians that I could wrap them around the world three times.  No matter which party was elected nothing changed.  Oh we’ve have had ups and downs in the financial market and some financial benefits have reached as low as the average citizen but not like it should.  The average Joe and Jill in this country are the people who create the wealth of this nation through their hard work.  The problem is most of the wealth is corralled in Washington in the hands of the politicians and very little trickles down to Joe and Jill.  They blame the millionaires and billionaires you know the top one percent for the lack of trickle down but it’s really the political system that controls our ability to earn.  It’s the politicians who create the laws that stifle small business, it’s the politicians who keep the poor trapped in poverty, it’s the politicians who come to Washington as average people and end up billionaires by making deals within their clique.  I think it’s time for a huge change, a change back to personal responsibility and a change in our demeanor as a nation.  We have allowed a puny little bunch of freaks who have no concept of civilization to cower a one time great nation in fear.  We have leaders who are more concerned about their power and wealth than protecting our nation.  They are more concerned about political correctness and the appearance what they do rather than actual achievement that will benefit our country. 

Yes I know Donald Trump is sometimes crass and say’s things at the spur of the moment that is upsetting to some but that’s just the non politician coming out.  That’s what people who are disgusted with politics as usual are looking for.  Take the time to look at the questions he is been given and see through the motives, how many are unanswerable without creating rancor from one side or the other.  Example the question on whether women should be charged with a crime for having an abortion.  The real question by the Democratic Hack Chris Mathews was “would you support the end of federally funded abortion” After answering to the positive Mathews cleverly through in should a woman who breaks the law and has an illegal abortion be charge with a crime.  How would you answer that?  If someone knowingly breaks the law are they guilty of a crime? 

What is really true is that a President can only enforce the law he or she cannot make laws.  When Trump says he will deport 11 million it is a suggestion not a law, Congress would have to fund the action.  Most of what any Presidential candidate says is strictly his personal concepts or in many cases what they think the public wants to hear.  I believe the biggest achievement of a Trump Administration would be the dissolution of the good old boy network.  Getting rid of the lobbyists and the those with their hands out would leave a tremendous amount money for actual government activity.  Building our military back to a force to be reckoned with is critical to our safety.  The best defense is always a better offense.  The last time we had a President that actually created jobs was Truman, he was a haberdasher who actually worked for a living.  The only jobs these other guys and woman have created were on paper and most of it worthless fakes like Obama’s job numbers. 

I believe Trump would also push for the answers on Benghazi, the border and several crimes that have gone unsolved in Washington, he would also appoint real world judges to the supreme court not idealogs who are in lock step with his personal philosophy.

This is a tremendous read. Do yourself a favor and read what Bennett has written...  

Whomever you support it is worth the read to understand the phenomenon...
Great article by a credible gentleman.
Written by the distinguished Bill Bennett about Donald Trump.
I think you will find it very interesting and alarming.  You might want to take the time to read it.

What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency

By Bill Bennett

They will kill him, before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.

Don’t be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.

It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one.

It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke.  He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.

It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald.  It's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won’t change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors.

They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money.  But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone.

There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama?

Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They surveil everything.

Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.

Fourth , why rock the boat?  After defeat or retirement, if you’re a good old boy, you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides  but not Trump.

Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate.  He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.  Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do.  He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question!

I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website.  By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion.

Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying.  Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election.  How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant.

Trump's election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over.

The jig is up. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.

Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi.  The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.

Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump. 

Yes, it's become open season on Donald Trump.

The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses and if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates.  But they can't silence him. And they sure can't intimidate him.

The more they try, the more the public will realize that he's the one telling the truth.

This Easter

This Easter I feel is a great time to reflect on our history, America has always been the place everyone has wanted to come to.  No matter their race or religion this country was built by emigrants, emigrants from all countries came here with the same hopes and dreams of being free to achieve their deepest desires.  The difference today is many of the emigrants are not coming here to assimilate into our society.  They don’t have the same dream of freedom that brought millions to our shores.  Many of today’s travelers to our country are not looking to become American’s, they are here to use our system or to destroy it.   They congregate into ghetto’s and try to make this country into what they left behind.  Others come to take the offered services, gain wealth only to return to their homeland leaving a hole in our financial system. 

Even as a terrible selfish conservative I welcome those who come with the dream of freedom and those who wish to become part of the greatest country in history.  It’s time though to breakup the enclaves that have become the breeding ground for anti-American descent. Places here in the United States that are basically run by criminals and the drug trade or the places that are run by Anti-American, Anti-freedom loving Mullah’s and only respect Sharia Law over that of American Laws.  We have seen in Europe what these Ghetto’s have produced. 

Our Country has always been the goal of every freedom loving man and woman in the world, what made it that way was our belief system and our Judeo Christian philosophy that were the building blocks for our form of government.  We have turned away from the teachings of our forefathers and our God and have tried to become something for everyone.  In doing so we have weakened our soul as a free society, instead of assimilation we have created a country that is separated by a basic understanding of what the American way of life is and always has been.  Yes. We should all be free to serve our God no matter what or who they are but not to subvert the basic tenants of our Constitution and to cause change to the basic freedoms that built this society.   Our turn away from things like the 10 Commandments are a good example, how do these statements cause discomfort or harm to anyone, they are the building blocks of what was the greatest society the world has known.  Why do we cow down and allow these statements, the last five which are the very structure of our system of laws to be taken away and removed from our lives. To me this is an affront to all those who came before us.  This beautiful and free country was a dream of all who came here of their own will to build this monument to freedom.  Now many come to destroy or to use our country not to assimilate but for personal gain, not to build upon our beauty but to weaken and destroy our way of life.  The liberal teachings of anti-religion and the movement to destroy all facets of our religious storied history, breeding ideas like no borders and no personal responsibility have opened the proverbial door in the floor and allowed our essence of life to leak away.  This Easter it’s time to close that door and pray that God comes back into our lives, not to destroy what others believe but to restore the original goals of America and the goals that made us great for 200 years.

We want our country back

As I see the demonstrations trying to block the free speech of Donald Trump it reminds me of 1968 Chicago. For those of you who are too young to remember it was the subculture of the progressive movement taught by left wing professors to fight against the war in Viet Nam. Instead of backing our troops they developed a hatred for those who served in fact spitting on them as they returned home. The group Weather Underground that included Obama's friend Bill Ayers bombed seve...ral historic sites that included the killing of those in the way. Ayers is still teaching in Chicago which should explain the lack of respect for life and the law there. I was in the beginning a Rubio supporter but as the radicals began their rampage against Trump and free speech I began to understand his appeal. The more things look like the radicalization of our politics by these Move on dot org and Black Lives matter groups the more I am drawn to Trump. He may not be a refined politician but nor am I. I'm just a regular guy who wants the things I grew up with. Respect for authority, respect for the lives of others, respect for the property of others, honorable treatment for our troops and Vets, Whether you believe in him or not at least the spirit of God back in our lives, A country where it's the norm to do your best to support your family not live decades off the government. You may consider me the radical in todays world and that may be but life here in American had been improving generation by generation until the left began it's war on decency. America supported the marches for equal rights, we supported the rights of women to vote and to earn equal pay, We fought for and supported the rights of all citizens to share equally in the wealth of America but not to take from those whose work to give to those to lazy to earn. I am an American and I want my rights to be considered too not just those of the far left. If it takes the election of a Donald Trump to bring sanity back to America so be it. Romney you and your buddies in the establishment, crawl back in the hole you came out of, your days are finished. Those of you who think your lives matter more than mine or those who believe that they deserve what I have worked hard to earn can join Romney and his bunch back in that hole. The majority of Americans just want their country back.

Donald Trump, what he stands for

 

 

  

 

 

I don’t think I have ever seen Trump’s plan detailed as this reporter has done. It is very interesting reading.

 

Peggy Noonan wrote about Trump this weekend in her Wall Street Journal
Trump - Things You Might Not Know About Him


  Trump, hopefully, is waking some of the RINOs up.  The criticisms of Trump are amazingly​ missing something. They are​ lacking in ​negative stories from those who work for him or have had business dealings with him.  After all the employees he's had and all the business deals he's made there is a void of criticism. In fact, long term employees call him a strong and merciful leader and say he is far more righteous and of high integrity​ than people may think​.  And while it may surprise many, he's actually humble when it comes to his generosity and kindness.  A good example is a story that tells of his limo breaking down on a deserted highway outside of New York City.  A middle-aged couple stopped to help him and as a thank you he paid off their mortgage, but he didn't brag about that.  Generous and good people rarely talk of charity they bestow on others.​But as much as all this is interesting, the real thing that people want to know is what Donald Trump's plan is for America. It's funny how so many people say they don't know what it is, or they act like Trump is hiding it. The information is readily available if people would just do a little homework.  But, since most Americans won't. 


1.) Trump believes that America should not intervene militarily in other country's problems without being compensated for doing so.  If America is going to risk the lives of our soldiers and incur the expense of going to war, then the nations we help must be willing to pay for our help.  Using the Iraq War as an example, he cites the huge monetary expense to American taxpayers (over $1.5 trillion, and possibly much more depending on what sources are used to determine the cost) in addition to the cost in human life.  He suggests that Iraq should have been required to give us enough of their oil to pay for the expenses we incurred. He includes in those expenses the medical costs for our military and $5 million for each family that lost a loved one in the war and $2 million for each family of soldiers who received severe injuries. 


2.) Trump wants America to have a strong military again.  He believes the single most important function of the federal government is national defense.  He has said he wants to find the General Patton or General MacArthur that could lead our military buildup back to the strength it needs to be. While he hasn't said it directly that I know of, Trump's attitude about America and about winning tells me he'd most likely be quick to eliminate rules of engagement that handicap our military in battle.  Clearly Trump is a "win at all costs" kind of guy, and I'm sure that would apply to our national defense and security, too 


3.) Trump wants a strong foreign policy and believes that it must include 7 core principles  American interests come first.  Always.  No apologies. Maximum firepower and military preparedness. Only go to war to win. Stay loyal to your friends and suspicious of your enemies.Keep the technological sword razor sharp. See the unseen Prepare for threats before they materialize. Respect and support our present and past warriors.


4.) Trump believes that terrorists who are captured should be treated as military combatants, not as criminals like the Obama administration treats them.


5.) Trump makes the point that China's manipulation of their currency has given them unfair advantage in our trade dealings with them.  He says we must tax their imports to offset their currency manipulation, which will cause American companies to be competitive again and drive manufacturing back to America and create jobs here. Although he sees China as the biggest offender, he believes that America should protect itself from all foreign efforts to take our jobs and manufacturing.  For example, Ford is building a plant in Mexico and Trump suggests that every part or vehicle Ford makes in Mexico be taxed 35% if they want to bring it into the U. S., which would cause companies like Ford to no longer be competitive using their Mexican operations and move manufacturing back to the U.S., once again creating jobs here. 


6.) Trump wants passage of NOPEC legislation (No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act – NOPEC – S.394), which would allow the government to sue OPEC for violating antitrust laws.  According to Trump, that would break up the cartel. He also wants to unleash our energy companies to drill domestically (sound like Sarah Palin's drill baby, drill?) thereby increasing domestic production creating jobs and driving domestic costs of oil and gas down while reducing dependence on foreign oil.



7.) Trump believes a secure border is critical for both security and prosperity in America.  He wants to build a wall to stop illegals from entering and put controls on immigration. (And he says he'll get Mexico to pay for the wall, which many have scoffed at, but given his business successes I wouldn't put it past him.)  He also wants to enforce our immigration laws and provide no path to citizenship for illegals. 


8.) Trump wants a radical change to the tax system to not only make it better for average Americans, but also to encourage businesses to stay here and foreign businesses to move here. The resulting influx of money to our nation would do wonders for our economy.  He wants to make America the place to do business.  He also wants to lower the death tax and the taxes on capital gains and dividends. This would put more than $1.6 trillion back into the economy and help rebuild the 1.5 million jobs we've lost to the current tax system.  He also wants to charge companies who outsource jobs overseas a 20% tax, but for those willing to move jobs back to America they would not be taxed. And for citizens he has a tax plan that would allow Americans to keep more of what they earn and spark economic growth.  He wants to change the personal income tax to: Up to $30,000 taxed at 1%. From $30,000 to $100,000 taxed at 5%. From $100,000 to $1,000,000 taxed at 10%. $1,000,000 and above taxed at 15%.


9.) Trump wants Obamacare repealed. He says it's a "job-killing, health care-destroying monstrosity" that "can't be reformed, salvaged, or fixed."  He believes in allowing real competition in the health insurance marketplace to allow competition to drive prices down.  He also believes in tort reform to get rid of defensive medicine and lower costs. 


10.) Trump wants spending reforms in Washington, acknowledging that America spends far more than it receives in revenue.  He has said he believes that if we don't stop increasing the national debt once it hits $24 trillion it will be impossible to save this country. 


11.) Even though he says we need to cut spending, he does not want to harm those on Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. He believes that the citizens have faithfully paid in to the system to have these services available and that the American government has an obligation to fulfill its end of the bargain and provide those benefits. Therefore, he wants to build the economy up so that we have the revenue to pay those costs without cutting the benefits to the recipients.  He disagrees with Democrats who think raising taxes is the answer and says that when you do that you stifle the economy.  On the other hand, when you lower taxes and create an environment to help businesses they will grow, hire more workers, and those new workers will be paying taxes that become more tax revenue for the government. 


12.) Trump also wants reform of the welfare state saying that America needs "a safety net, not a hammock." He believes in a welfare to work program that would help reduce the welfare roles and encourage people to get back to work.  And he wants a crackdown on entitlement fraud. 


13.) Trump believes climate change is a hoax. 


14.) Trump opposes Common Core. 


15.) Trump is pro-life, although he allows for an exception due to rape, incest, or the life of the mother. 


16.) Trump is pro 2nd Amendment rights. 


17.) Trump's view on same-sex marriage is that marriage is between a man and a woman, but he also believes that this is a states rights issue, not a federal issue. 


18.) Trump supports the death penalty.  Trump believes that there is a lack of common sense, innovative thinking in Washington (Hmmm... looks like he believes in horse sense!).  He says it's about seeing the unseen and that's the kind of thinking we need to turn this country around.  He tells a personal story to illustrate the point: "When I opened Trump National Golf Club at Rancho Palos Verdes in Los Angeles, I was immediately told that I would need to build a new and costly ballroom. The current ballroom was gorgeous, but it only sat 200 people and we were losing business because people needed a larger space for their events.  Building a new ballroom would take years to get approval and permits (since it's on the Pacific Ocean), and cost about $5 million.  I took one look at the ballroom and saw immediately what needed to be done.  The problem wasn't the size of the room, it was the size of the chairs. They were huge, heavy, and unwieldy.  We didn't need a bigger ballroom, we needed smaller chairs!  So I had them replaced with high-end, smaller chairs. I then had our people sell the old chairs and got more money for them than the cost of the new chairs. In the end, the ballroom went from seating 200 people to seating 320 people.  Our visitors got the space they desired, and I spared everyone the hassle of years of construction and $5 million of expense.  It's amazing what you can accomplish with a little common sense.  On top of his saving years of construction and $5 million in expenses, he also was able to keep the ballroom open for business during the time it would have been under remodeling, which allowed him to continue to make money on the space instead of losing that revenue during construction time.


19. Donald Trump's entire life has been made up of success and winning.  He's been accused of bankruptcies, but that's not true.  He's never filed personal bankruptcy.  He's bought companies and legally used bankruptcy laws to restructure their debt, just as businesses do all the time.  But he's never been bankrupt personally.


20. He's a fighter that clearly loves America and would fight for our nation.  Earlier I quoted Trump saying, "I love America.  And when you love something, you protect it passionately – fiercely, even."   We never hear that from Democrats or even from most Republicans.  Donald Trump is saying things that desperately need to be said but no other candidate has shown the fortitude to stand up and say them.  Looking over this list of what he wants for America I see a very necessary set of goals that are long past due.


Before we criticize someone because the media does, maybe we should seriously consider what he has to offer, as it is important to know what each of our candidates to replace a President who has ruined us globally, and who has put us on a path to disaster!   This is not an appeal to vote for Trump, only to give some depth of comparison, before this week's debate.

G.O.P. Caution

Be careful Grand Old Party, you are about to fracture beyond repair. The people will decide who their candidate is not a committee of the Old Guard

Romney just secured my vote for Trump

I have been undecided for several months now on how I should vote but Romney’s BS today just put me over the edge. Yes I will back Trump if he is our candidate. I would like to see more substance from the campaign, more real answers but the cheap shot that Romney pulled today by the establishment republicans put me over the edge. There is no such thing as party politics anymore it is man on man. The Republican party is split as far apart as it can get and any Republican that stays home because of this move by the old guard of the party might as well vote for Hillary. Sending Romney out to try to destroy Trump is as desperate an act as I’ve seen in politics. The same brand of politics that took place by the old guard republicans in 1964 against Barry Goldwater, allowing Lynden B. Johnson an easy road to victory. We are still recovering from his term and a half in office. Barry Goldwater made the huge mistake in politics of telling the truth. I honestly believe that had Goldwater been elected there would be a lot more Viet Nam veterans still alive today. Once again the old guard republicans did their best to maintain status quo even if it meant losing the election.

The old guard establishment Republicans have once again brought out the sucker punch this time in the form of Nick Romney an old guard previous loser. I have been leaning towards Rubio but after the gang up by him and Cruz in the last debate they have both lost favor. It reminded me of a couple of Piranha’s nipping at the heels of faster swimmer. I am disappointed in Rubio and expected it from Cruz, I had hoped to have a campaign that centered on what’s wrong with America not cheap shot politics. The old guard doesn’t seem to understand how disgusted the general public is with politics as usual. Without a drastic change it really doesn’t matter who wins, we the general public lose. We are in a desperate time here in America, our economy has been in a slow and precarious recovery for the last 4 years. We have lost our leadership role in the world by leading from behind, it’s called following in the dictionary and it has left us weak and unresponsive at a time when we have some of the gravest enemies we have ever faced. Another 4 years of Liberal leadership will be disastrous. America was built to lead the world not follow. We have allowed the Obama Administration to weaken our resolve among nations. Another four years of leading from behind will leave us weak and inconsequential.
