What Did We Learn from Rachel Maddow?.

By now you have undoubtedly heard about the much hyped Trump tax returns that were reported on by Rachel Maddow on her MSNBC show. What we learned from Ms Maddow was that despite being a Stanford grad and Rhode Scholar, she really isn't all that bright. Who looks at 2 pages of a billionaire's tax return and thinks they actually have something? A complete nincompoop that's who. Or perhaps someone so blinded by hatred of President Trump that it clouded her judgment. Has Maddow actually seen a tax return before? Regardless, this is precisely why Trump doesn't want a bunch of idiots looking at his tax returns. It's like giving Kierkegaard to a chimp. Even if he could  read it, he wouldn't understand it.

Pelosi's Expanding Vocabulary

Last June in the heat of the presidential campaign and in the lead up to the FBI's announcement as to whether or not it would recommend indicting Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton for her private email server and failing to properly safeguard classified emails, the then Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, had a private meeting on the tarmac of the Phoenix Airport with Hillary's husband former President Bill Clinton. As Attorney General, Lynch was the boss of FBI Director James Comey - the man making the determination whether to indict or not indict Hillary. This was completely inappropriate and many, myself included, called for Lynch to either resign or at least recuse herself from the decision process. Many but not Rep Nancy Pelosi (D - CA).

A few days later, Director Comey called a press conference where he described a list of potential criminal acts that appeared to have committed by Mrs Clinton but to the amazement of most, he concluded by saying  he was not recommending an indictment based on an incorrect interpretation of the law and because he believed the case wasn't strong enough to get a conviction.

Fast forward 9 month later and Pelosi is demanding that Attorney General Jeff Session recuse himself from the investigation into whether Russia influenced the 2016 presidential campaign because he met with the Russian Ambassador when he was a senator.

Is "recuse" a new word for Speaker Pelosi? Perhaps she got one of those "Word of the Day" calendars in her stocking last Christmas.

If Trump Caves His Presidency is Toast

As the hour approaches for President Trump's address to Congress, there are already rumors that he will make major concessions on illegal immigration. If that is true it will be his George H. W. Bush, "Read my lips. No new taxes." moment and his presidency is toast.

Trump Administrative Chaos

The reports of chaos in the Trump Administration by the Democrats, the mainstream media, and "Never Trump" Republicans reminds me of a cartoon I saw when I was a kid. A mischievous boy drops a cat into a dog show and you can imagine what happens. As the cat darts to and fro trying to achieve its goal - getting the heck outta there - chaos erupts as the dogs react to the cat in their midst.

The Trump Administration is like that cat. It isn't the one in chaos. It is its surroundings that are in chaos. Like the cat, Trump is doing what he needs to do. It is the others around him - the establishment i.e. "the dogs" - who are in complete disarray because they don't know what to do with an opponent that doesn't play by their rules.

Who is the boy in this example you might ask? The boys is the voters who sent Trump to Washington to shake things up. It's all a matter of perspective and point of view.

The Truth About Alternative Facts

When Kellyanne Conway introduced the world to the term "alternative facts", the Left immediately began equating that to lies. There is just one problem. By doing that, they are continuing in their own deception.

Ever wonder why before testifying in court, one is asked, "Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...?"
The truth - don't lie!
The whole truth - don't withhold any part of the truth!
Nothing but the truth - no opinions; just facts!

It is the second part that causes all the problems. As standard operating procedure, the Left and their lap dogs in the media conveniently leave out facts that contradict their world view. In this whole controversy, that is where the lie really resides.

Regarding Gorsuch

Judge Neil Gorsuch from the 10th Circuit of the US Court of Appeals was nominated this evening by President Trump to the US Supreme Court. He was unanimous confirmed by the Senate for his current position. Despite this, he will be fiercely opposed by Senate Democrats and he is already being called "way outside the mainstream of legal thought" and as having "extreme views" by the likes of Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY).

My questions are:
Senator, are you lying now when you say he is unfit or were you lying then when you said he was because you can't have it both ways?
Is there new information or did you just fail to do the proper "Due Diligence" before giving Gorsuch your approval back in 2006?

Pardon me Senator, I didn't catch that. Would you mumble your response again, please?

Character in Victory and Defeat

It's been said how one handles victory and defeat is very revealing of one's character. "Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat."

Over the last eight years and 2 months, the Democrats and the left have done neither. From Obama's "We won; you lost" to Republicans shortly after taking office to the current daily protests of President Trump and attempts to delegitimize him even before he was inaugurated, the left has truly shown us who they are: petulant children.

Thank God grown ups are back in charge! Don't disappoint us Mr Trump. The adult half of the nation is counting on you!
