Donald Trump Should Not Run For The Presidency
Nov 9, 2022 2022 Election, Opinion
I was hoping to be invited to play golf at one of Trump’s resorts, but I think this will put an end to that.
I was, and to some extent, still am a Trump supporter. I think his first term in office was effective and good for America. We had record employment, low inflation and a stock market that was humming right along. Despite 4 years of constant torture by the left (and some on the right) Trump managed to stay effective. I know in my heart he won the election in 2020 and that it was stolen from him in a grand act of treason by the left and some on the right. The swamp needed him out. Trump, unlike Biden, could not be manipulated by the people who really call the shots.
But there were then and are now things about Trump that drive me nuts. His ego and his mouth constantly get in the way. He is like the child who will do or say anything to be noticed by others. Look, here I am see me!!! He is a counterpuncher and I like that. I like that he will fight back but he does not know when to keep his mouth shut. His biggest issue in that regard is that he must always be the center of attention. He must be the one all others look to. No matter what, his actions are designed to keep him in the spotlight.
That might seem great to some, but it is detrimental to the team. Two things from the past week lay that out quite clearly.
At an event Trump called the Florida Governor Ron Desanctimonious. Trump likes to give people little nicknames. Most are degrading (though accurate like Crooked Hillary) but DeSantis is an ally. He is the younger wing of the party that is every much a counter puncher as Trump but without the mouth, the ego and the baggage.
Trying to be cute and call DeSantis a name in an effort to diminish his status got some chuckles but it did not play well with the base. DeSantis is genuinely liked and when Trump violated Parkinson’s 11th Commandment, popularized by Ronald Reagan, “Thou salt not speak ill of any fellow Republican”, many felt it was inappropriate. This has been a problem with Trump for a very long time. He simply does not know how to keep his mouth shut.
Case in point. It has long been speculated, and Trump has hinted, that he will run for the presidency again. That appeals to the base of avid Trump followers, but it scares many on the outer edges of the party. While Trump works hard, there is no doubt about that, and could outwork many people half his age (and could outwork Biden on Trump’s worst day), he is in his 70s. He is an old man, a hard-working old man, but old none the less. Many younger folks want new blood in the races and many older folks are not ready for a return to the chaos that Trump creates.
I often wonder if his business empire is full of this amount of chaos.
The second thing Trump did that demonstrated a lack of restraint is announcing, on the eve of what was anticipated to be a wave election, that he had a very big announcement to make and that he would make it a week from election day (look here I am, see me). Speculation had been that he would announce his intention to run for the presidency on election eve, but he teased everyone with the very big announcement nonsense.
What was supposed to be a wave election focused on all of our candidates turned into a spotlight back on Trump and the belief that he just announced without actually saying it. Once again, he opened his mouth and sucked the air out of the room. He made it all about him. He could have waited until the day after the election. He could have waited until next week, but he lacked the discipline to keep his mouth shut for the good of the nation. How many people were terrified that if they put more Republicans in office Trump would see it as approval of his intention to run again? How many people decided not to vote after he opened his mouth in hope of reining him in and avoiding a future return to chaos? Maybe Dr. Oz underperformed in PA districts that Trump carried because people were not willing to vote after Trump’s announcement. We will never really know but Trump should have remained silent and let the election play out.
Trump is worried about others announcing they will run in 2024. Trump has stated that if anyone runs against him it will be seen as disloyalty. Sorry Sir, the presidency does not belong to you and no one owes you allegiance. They, just like you, are free to run and in fact, many will run but they had the discipline to keep it to themselves. Trump is worried that Ron DeSantis is gaining a lot of steam in the party and will be the preferred candidate for 2024. DeSantis is young, a heavy hitting counter puncher, a conservative and a man who has the discipline required to lead. He knows when to speak and more importantly, he knows when NOT to speak.
So, after Trump insulted Governor DeSantis and after his non announcement, announcement what happened? The people of Florida promptly gave DeSantis a landslide election in Florida and that was in most seats up and down the state. They made it clear he was the future of the Republican Party. They made it clear that of the two heavy hitters in Florida, DeSantis is the one they want leading them. DeSantis led Florida through the Covid nonsense, and he showed true leadership during Hurricane Ian and he did it without the chaos and drama that seems to be inherent in Donald Trump’s character. The state is markedly improved because of DeSantis’ leadership. Floridians respect that and they rewarded that.
I like Donald Trump, but I now think his time has come and gone. He should come out next Tuesday and say he has decided to semi retire and let his kids run the business while he enjoys his remaining years playing golf at his golf courses. He should also make it clear he is passing the torch to Ron DeSantis.
On Tuesday the wave never came, some Republicans lost their seats, and the Senate is in peril. The people Trump endorsed for national office floundered and only a few made it across the finish line. What did Trump do the day after an embarrassing election? He made it about himself once again by touting how well his endorsements did. Trump said it was a great midterm because he was 174-9 in endorsements. I think he might be embellishing but the reality is it was not a great midterm when the Republican Party that he is the de facto leader of failed to pick up very many seats against a senile president with economic woes and tons of other issues that should have made wins easy. Once again Trump had to make it about him.
The big winner in all this is not Donald Trump and it is not the Republican Party. It is certainly not the American people. No, the big winner is Joe Biden. That man is a demented doddering old fool who was in a position to suffer an embarrassing loss. He did not and he might actually suffer fewer losses than Trump did in his first midterm. Trump lost 40 seats. Biden will probably not lose that many (though I firmly believe cheating helped out in this regard).
While Trump celebrates a Pyrrhic victory, Joe Biden is taking a victory lap.

More Games In The Sham Impeachment
Feb 13, 2021 2020 Election, Commentary, Tyranny
The trial portion of the President Donald Trump impeachment was expected to wrap up today. Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland was not expected to call any witnesses. In fact, he indicated previously that he did not want to do so. All of the sudden, there is information that they need to get to the bottom of. There is a new, not new revelation from Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler that Trump was aware of what was going on and refused to help.
The reason that this is not a new revelation is that she indicated this was her reason for voting to impeach Trump. She is one of only ten Republicans who did so.
This is not new. She said this for over a month now. If the Democrats had actually held a proper impeachment hearing they could have called her as a witness and asked her what took place. Instead, they rushed to judgement and now the impeachment managers are left to find evidence at trial. According to Herrera Beutler, Kevin McCarthy called Trump as the mostly peaceful protest was going on and told the President he needed to call his supporters off. When told by Trump that these were Antifa (Antifa involvement is something most news articles describe as discredited), McCarthy told him, no these are your people. It is then that Trump is alleged to have said “Well Kevin, I guess they are more upset about the election than you are.”
It looks like the Kavanaugh hearing debacle all over. Wait until you are ready to wrap up and see if you are losing. If you are, then call in a witness and bring new allegations.
Here are some problems I see.
It is possible this took place as described. Going on TV or sending Tweets would not have stopped any of the mostly peaceful protests. The people inside the building were not watching TV or reading tweets. Besides, when Trump did tweet that day Twitter removed his tweets. He called for calm and those tweets were removed.
Trump is not in charge of the Capitol police or the DC National Guard. Congress is in charge of the police and the DC Mayor is in charge of the guard. President Trump offered extra help in the days leading up to January 6th and was told no extra help was needed. Mayor Bowser said she had it all under control. Trump has a duty to act if the country is being attacked but when this went down it was nothing more than a riot, the same kind of riot that took place against the White House in the summer. The same kind the left refused help for and cried when pepper spray was used. A riot is under the purview of the police (and/or the National Guard).
Herrera Beutler has no first hand knowledge. Since the beginning when she asserted this incident as her reason to vote to impeach she has stated that McCarthy TOLD her what Trump said. She did not hear it for herself and has no idea what was actually said.
It reminds me of a joke where a Texas Ranger was chasing a Mexican bandit who had stolen a lot of money in a robbery. As the Ranger gained on him the bandit threw the money down an abandoned well. The Ranger caught up to him and asked where the money was but the Mexican bandit only spoke Spanish and the Ranger did not. A man was riding by and the Ranger asked him if he spoke Spanish and he indicated he did. He said ask this guy where he put the money. The reply was I am not telling. So the Ranger pulls his pistol and points it at the bandit’s head and says, tell him if he does not tell me, right now, where that money is I am going to blow his brains all over the desert then he cocks the hammer. The man tells him and the Mexican bandit says, in Spanish, tell him not to shoot, please, I have a family, tell him the money is an that abandoned well over there. With that the interpreter looks at the Ranger and says, he said go ahead and shoot he is not telling you.
Without actually hearing what was said (and understanding it) one cannot possibly give a first hand accounting.
They could call McCarthy but he did not vote to impeach and he has not made any statements, that we are aware of, that Trump said what has been reported.
Even if Trump said it that is not an impeachable offense. How could he possibly stop what was going on? I indicated earlier that if he went on TV no one would see it and no one was reading tweets but his were being taken down anyway.
Do we now impeach Obama because he incited Ferguson and did nothing to get them to stop? Do we impeach Harris and a whole slew of Democrats because they incited and encouraged riots all summer and then did nothing to stop them?
We have police officers to maintain law and order. It looks like the Capitol Police failed in doing that. Funny thing is when police departments were told to stand down and when politicians across the country refused to stop riots (and refused help from Trump) these were seen as good things. But let the police stand down in the Capitol and it is quite another.
As for the claim being made by the propaganda media that Antifa was not involved and this has been debunked, well you can add that to the list of other issues they have been gaslighting you on. Free and fair elections, no cheating took place, Joe Biden is not suffering from dementia, etc.
Antifa was there. Antifa started and instigated the riot. The video footage the House Impeachment Managers are showing as evidence was recorded by a member of Antifa and he happens to be one of the first people arrested in connection with it. There are videos of Antifa members changing out of Trump gear, rioting and then changing back into Trump gear. There were certainly supporters of the president in the Capitol. The video I saw of them has them walking around taking pictures like they are on a tour. The Antifa and others I saw were damaging things and causing trouble. That is not to say that some of the folks who were causing trouble were not Trump supporters. It was not ALL them as the left and its media wing would have you believe.
I do wonder though. What happens if the defense attorneys take depositions from people who were arrested that day or who were on film that day and they say that they were incited by [enter name of Democrat here]. Will the focus be changed? Will they go after that person?
After the beating the Impeachment Managers took yesterday, one that had Alan Dershowitz saying the defense had won the case, they had to come up with something. You can always count on them dragging a hooker or a reprobate, or someone less honorable like a member of Congress, from someplace and changing the focus on some invented act. None of that changes the fact that Trump did not cause it and he had no method to stop it. And if it was a riot, as was reported, it was up to the police and/or the National Guard to stop it.
They are trying hard but I doubt this will stop anything. I doubt they will get 17 people to convict when they have already said it was unconstitutional.
As for the four or five Republican Senators who voted to move forward with witnesses, your time will come. We will work hard to remove you from office and replace you with someone who has a spine.

Trump Administration Accomplishments
Jan 28, 2021 2020 Election, Political
The Trump Administration published a list of the Administration’s accomplishments on the White House website. The Xiden regime will likely take has taken it down so linked below is a pdf of the entire list. It is quite impressive at 49 pages and when one considers how the left interfered, blocked, attacked and investigated every minute of every day it is all the more impressive.
Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy.
• America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections.
• Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration.
• The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century.
• Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job-hirings.
• More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million.
• Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low.
• The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record.
• Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades.Delivered a future of greater promise and opportunity for citizens of all backgrounds.
Read the entire document here
Imagine how petty Xiden and his people are to remove a document from an official government website because it lists his predecessor’s accomplishments.
Then again, they do not want a list of things up there that they will be compared to and which they can never match up to.

Daily Wrap Up For 26 January 2021
Jan 26, 2021 2020 Election, Commentary, Political
I know that does not narrow it down since they are hypocrites about everything. In this case we have the dynamic duo of dementia Pelosi and Xiden. When Donald Trump was in office he had law enforcement protecting the federal buildings in Portland. They would take people into custody for breaking the law. Nancy Pelosi condemned this as:
“Unidentified stormtroopers. Unmarked cars. Kidnapping protesters and causing severe injuries in response to graffiti. These are not the actions of a democratic republic. @DHSgov’s actions in Portland undermine its mission. Trump and his stormtroopers must be stopped.”
Pelosi further showed her dementia by claiming that First Amendment speech (that Amendment protects the right to peaceably assemble) should not be met with one-sided violence. Anyone who watched what took place in Portland knows that the one side that was violent was the Pelosi/Biden Antifa side.
Now that Xiden has assumed his spot as Chairman the story is different. Federal agents have been “storming” out to arrest people who continue to break the law and this must be coming under orders from Xiden. Still no word from Pelosi about one sided violence from Xiden stormtroopers…
Same Old Story For the Black Population Who Supported the Left
It is well understood that the only time the Democrats want or need the black population in America is during election time. The black community, pushed by Congressman James Clyburn (D-SC), sparked a fire that catapulted Xiden over his primary opponents. As is usually the case (and has been for decades) the black community was relegated to the back of the bus after the election had ended. Chairman Xiden has made it clear that his priorities from day one are to appease the illegal immigrant population and the alphabet homosexual and gender confused community. Blacks, who were falsely told Trump did not care for them and that Xiden would address their concerns, have found that the Chairman has little time for them or their concerns.
Donald Trump carried a higher percentage of blacks than any Republican in recent history. In fact, that was an indication he would win as no Democrat could win without a certain percentage of support from the black community that Xiden did not get.
Maybe Xiden is signaling that with the perfected mechanism of stealing votes the left no longer needs to woo the black community to win office. Caveat emptor.
Better Late than Never, Maybe Not
Rioters have rocked Seattle for months. All summer long the democrat inspired rioters tore the town apart. People were arrested and then released. People were not charged with crimes and were free to go back out and cause more mayhem. The left wanted to paint this as a picture of Donald Trump’s America and that because of him people were aggrieved and expressing their frustration. Offers of help from the federal government were declined and it got so contentious that the police chief resigned and the Mayor stated she would not run for reelection (the best news to come out of this).
As Chairman Xiden was being anointed, the people allegedly upset with Trump vandalized the Democrat Party Office in Portland and rioters in Seattle have focused on breaking windows and setting fires.
Evidently, Trump was not the problem as this seems to be Xiden’s Amerika. The interim police chief has stepped up enforcement of the law and is working with the Seattle City Attorney to ensure people are charged appropriately.
I guess now that they can’t use this destruction against Trump to harm his chances of reelection they decided they might want to do something. It was common sense that the Antifa thugs could not be pacified and that they really do not care who they attack but as long as they could be exploited by the left there was not much concern for how people were harmed by this. Now that Xiden is running the show (is he) they can’t have these thugs destroying things.
Looks like Frankenstein’s monster has turned on its creator…
Wall Street Looking to Give New York a Shot in The Arm
New York City is in a bad way. People are moving out and there is no indication they are going to return. The planned shut downs designed to eliminate the elderly and harm Trump’s reelection have taken a devastating toll on the city. The Big Apple is now a ghost town. Many high rent office buildings are empty and companies who have figured they can do their work from just about anywhere might never return to fill them. Many businesses have been shut down by the government and a large number of them will never reopen. They were driven out of business by the people they elected to run the show.
Wall Street firms have offered their assistance in getting vaccines to people more quickly so that offices may be reopened. These Wall Street CEOs are concerned that if there is much more of a delay the City will never recover.
I believe it is too late to salvage that once thriving city. A lot of people have ditched their high rent living spaces for the suburbs or other states all together. Some businesses have determined they can run effectively from remote locations (like home) and save a fortune in overhead.
Cuomo and De Blasio are inept to begin with and their coordinated effort to use the pandemic to exert tyrannical control over their citizens while trying to harm Donald Trump seems to have backfired.
This is what happens when you let criminals run your show.
Mitt Romney was the Republican nominee for president against Barack Hussein Obama. Romney, like John McCain, was trounced by the liberal messiah. Romney, who as the governor of Massachusetts designed the state version of Obamacare, claims to be a conservative and a statesman. Romneycare ran the state into the ditch and was way too costly and was not something a conservative would have devised.
When Donald Trump was running in the primary Romney did not have good things to say about him. When Trump was the nominee Romney was not a fan.
Yet when Trump won Romney showed up groveling for a place at the Trump table. Donald does not reward those who go against him so Romney did not get any cushy position.
Mitt Romney voted to convict Trump in the first impeachment and now he endorses the trial of NOW CITIZEN Trump on the phony charges that Trump riled up people and caused them to attack the Capitol. Evidently, Trump telling people to peacefully protest means to storm the Capitol. Oh no, wait, he questioned the results of the election and that is why they did it. Plenty of Democrats (including some of the House impeachment managers) challenged the legitimacy of the Trump election in 2016. They expressed those concerns in 2017 and there were protests that turned into riots in DC on the day Trump was inaugurated. The riots over the summer were supported by many on the left (see what Pelosi said in article above). No one believed that these people were calling for violence even if their words demonstrate they condoned it.
No one is blaming Bernie Sanders for his rhetoric that inspired a man to shoot a bunch of Republicans at ball practice. The responsible party was the one who pulled the trigger. Even if people believe they are being told to do bad things by anyone they are still responsible for their own actions.
But Romney is a vindictive little wussy and he wants to see Trump convicted. I doubt there are 17 Republicans who will vote to do so and it is likely that this is all unconstitutional to begin with. Of course, that never stops Congress.
The truth is these people are afraid Trump will run again and this time they know it will be a juggernaut because of the criminal acts that gave us Xiden. Speaking of that, if the charge is that Trump calling the election rigged sparked the mayhem, he will be able to present evidence that the election was, in fact, fraudulent. He can demonstrate to all of America the evidence the courts refused to hear. That would have to be allowed as part of the defense against the charge.
Trump does not need to run for president again. He can remake the Republican Party from the outside and earn some money while doing it. Maybe he can destroy the left while he is at it.
Good for him. I will be in his corner.
The White House posted what looks like a PSA with the Sainted Anthony Fauci telling us all to “please wear a mask” (it looks like Fauci wants you to wear TWO of them now). Some woman named Asha Rangappa, who I have never heard of but is allegedly someone people actually know, expressed her disdain of Trump and his Corona policies by Tweeting;
“Imagine if this message had come out clearly and unequivocally back in March.”
The implication, of course, is that trump did not believe in masks and therefore the message never came out. If only we had Xiden back then the Sainted Fauci could have given us this message.
The only problem here is that in March the Sainted Fauci (who happens to be the highest paid federal government employee OUT OF ALL OF THEM) was saying we did not need to wear masks.
“People should not be walking around in masks. Right now, there is no reason, people should not be walking around with masks.”
Seems to me that this is a clear and unequivocal message that people DO NOT need to wear masks.
A Tale of Two Xidens
Chairman Cho Bai-Din before the election:
“We’re eight months into the pandemic and Donald Trump still doesn’t have a plan to get this virus under control.
I do.”
Cho Bai-Din now that he does not need to pander for votes (of course they had to appear to pander so the steal would go off as planned without much suspicion):
“There is nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.”
Of course this reality has not stopped the tyrants who closed us down in order to harm Trump (remember, they hate him more than they love America) from declaring they are opening back up. Nothing has changed except who is living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Republicans Are Better Than What?
Jan 23, 2021 2020 Election, Commentary, Political
Republicans have an identity crisis. They also appear to have battered spouse syndrome. You see, they have been abused for a very long time by the Democrats and instead of actually fighting they acquiesce. Democrats lie, cheat, steal and smear and the best Republicans can do is send fund raising emails asking everyone to send money to stop the evil liberals and their sinister agenda. It is amazing, Big Dog, we need you right now to stop Nancy Pelosi and her liberal gang from [insert list of sinister things here] can you donate? Republicans also have that identity problem in that they talk a really tough game but when push comes to shove they can’t dig deep enough holes to hide in.
Donald Trump is no choir boy and the truth be told, we did not hire him to be. We hired him to clean up a swamp that has been festering with self serving politicians who get rich off the hard work of the people. Donald Trump removed the yoke from our necks and unleashed the American spirit and we produced. Lowest unemployment, highest growth and great things for people of every stripe.
Now this did not sit well with the left and the squishy right. After all, they have a sweet gig in DC that is allowing them to launder our money through all kinds of entities so they and their families can get rich. They cannot have someone, anyone, come in and ruin that. So the Orange Man had to go. It started from the day after he was elected when the left decided he was to be impeached and set about looking for a reason. They used Hillary Clinton disinformation to start an investigation that wasted MILLIONS of your hard earned dollars only to show there was no Russian collusion and that the only people who were colluding with Russia were the Clinton folks. On the way out the door Barack Obama had Trump spied on and set people up in order to keep their corruption from being exposed.
All of this resulted in Trump being impeached for the things that then former VP Joe Biden was guilty of.
All of this failed so plan B went into effect. They rigged the election but they ran into an issue. Trump was steamrolling his way to a second term. The real collusion took place when they had vote counting stop in the battleground states at nearly the same time (places Trump was leading bigly in) and then they went to work. When things “reopened” a huge ballot dump that defies all history of election statistics gave Biden a lead that forensic analysts have said is impossible without fraud being involved. The deed was done and this is where we find that Republicans are better than no one.
Many Republicans, some of whom I think benefitted from some ballot stuffing in their favor in return for rolling over on ousting Trump, simply decided that there was nothing to see here and that Trump lost move on. They said this in light of the fact Trump had more votes than any incumbent president in history, Trump hit all but one indicators of a win, that evidence kept pouring in and that video showed the crime in progress. These spineless Republicans refused to fight.
Whether you like Donald Trump or not, the man FIGHTS.
So we fast forward to the coronation of a man compromised by his mental decline and indebtedness to China and we end up with Chairman Zhou Bai-Din.
We have a woman in Congress who has more testicular fortitude than the men in the party. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced (or will) articles of impeachment against the Chairman. I know they will go nowhere and would have preferred they be filed after Republicans take control but let’s face it, Republicans are not likely to use impeachment as a weapon like the Democrats did. They will move on with governing and trying to get along with the very people who will knife them in the back the moment they get a chance. No matter how terribly the Democrats acted (don’t forget there is a bogus second impeachment of Trump designed to keep him from ever being in office again) Republicans will say that “we are better than that.’
It is what minority leader Kevin McCarthy recently said with regard to the articles that Greene will file. McCarthy is part of the swamp. He is no different than Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, Sanders and any other swamp creature. He is willing to do anything to keep his place at the trough.
The Republican Party is always better than that because it refuses to fight. It refuses to support, protect and defend the Constitution. It rolls over and gives the Democrats what they want in exchange for $24 worth of beads. There are a few fighters, Cruz, Jordan, Gaetz and a few more but by and large the party is full of the Mitt Romney/Mitch McConnell wing of do what you need to in order to keep suckling at the teat of taxpayer money.
I hope Donald Trump is working on being a political force in 2022 and beyond. He does not need to run for the presidency again as long as he can assist in getting another fighter in office. He can also be a king maker in the 2022 primaries by recruiting worthy candidates to take on incumbent Republicans and get them out of office.
Because despite what they say, Republicans are not better than anything. The reality is they are merely a different wing of the same bird. Their inaction will get you to the same terrible place the left will get you only a little slower.
Donald Trump did not lose to a basement dwelling demented child molester who people had no enthusiasm for. He was cheated but Republicans refused to fight for the truth (fight the steal) because, apparently, they are better than that.
