Election season is upon us

 Wow its been six months since my last post and a lot of things have happened in politics and our country.  Lets start on the right side of the spectrum, Trump was indicted in several states and liberal courts on charges which have little to no evidence and I fully expect to be thrown out in the end.  He was also selected as the Republican Party candidate for President!  This will be his third time being the candidate and his momentum is at an all-time high.  We have seen vast numbers of minorities leaving the Democratic party and throwing their support to Trump.  So why would lifelong Democrats change their party affiliation and vote?  The answer is much simpler than it seems, they realized for generations the Democrats have done nothing for their communities and only give a crap about them every election cycle.  These groups have seen greater success under the Trump/Republican policies.  They also have seen the left push further into the fringes on topics like abortion, antisemitism, anti-white racism, socialism, open borders and overthrowing our country as we know it.  The left has begun advocating for segregation in schools, dormitories, offices, and every other part of our lives.  They have focused on victimhood and why that prevents each group from success.  They blame everything on systemic racism and claiming white people are preventing a thriving minority community. They are also ok with jailing political rivals, changing our checks and balances when it comes to the Supreme court, censoring speech they disagree with and most of all they have suggested throwing out the Constitution and starting over.  They are doing all of this in an effort to provide "equity" when in reality it is because the levers of power have shifted more right leaning and they want to remove obstacles to ending America as we know it.

On the left side we have heard them preach that Trump is a "threat to democracy" and "he will be a dictator."  They are against ID's to vote and ensuring only American citizens are voting.  They claim if he is elected there will never be another vote.  The reality is they had a Democratic primary and the voters selected President Biden as their candidate.  After a terrible debate in June the Democratic machine and media turned on him, began saying he was unfit for office and forced him to withdraw as the candidate.  So naturally I think most Americans assumed there would be a shortened primary where candidates could be vetted for voters to select the candidate.  The reality was much more dark, the Democratic machine and donors hand selected VP Harris as the candidate and negated the will of their voters.  That is a threat to democracy and removal of the power of the people.  To be clear VP Harris is just as responsible for the policies put in place as President Biden is.  According to the President, his press secretary and media outlets have consistently stated she was as involved in those choices as he was. Now that she is the candidate she states positions in direct opposition to the policies that have been put in place.  She has stated she was for mass amnesty, open borders, abortion up to birth, govt healthcare and removal of private healthcare, increased taxes, writing off college loans, militarizing govt agencies against political rivals, and increases in CRT and the LGBTQIA agenda in schools and businesses.  Now she states the exact opposite view on all those issues.  She claims to fix all those things on day 1 when she is elected, but she is forgetting the is the Vice President and can make those changes now! But she isn't, so my question is why?  She is avoiding interviews and debates, why?

Of all the elections in my lifetime this one seems to be a pivotal one for the direction of our country.  There is a very clear choice to be made.  On one hand you can select VP Harris and continue down the path we have been on since 2020.  That path leads to the downfall of America and transforms us into a socialist nation and eventually to a third world dictatorship.  On the other hand you can vote for Trump.  This path we have seen before from 2016-2020.  Until Covid destroyed businesses and killed our economy Trumps policies had the lowest unemployment among all demographics, most secure border ever in our history, the Abraham accords saw Muslim countries and Israel agree to trade agreements and peaceful interaction, he did not get us into any wars and began a strategic draw down in Afghanistan, during his term Iran/North Korea/Russia and all our other adversaries did not attack us or any of our allies, he renegotiated trade agreements to our benefit, his refusal to pay the UN until all the other countries paid their share led to a massive increase in countries meeting their obligations, and he was willing to sit with any and all world leaders.  Under Trump we were the freest, most prosperous and safest we have been in several generations.  

For me the choice is not a choice at all.  As I have stated many times in this blog I will always fall on the side of America and making us great!  My next blog will focus on the VP candidates and what they stand for.  In 2024 I will be voting for Trump and doing my best to expose the left, VP Harris, Gov Walz and all the other leftists for their policies and lies.

Unity and equality for all......No not you

 

In 8 days we will see a new President take the seat in the White House.  I didn't vote for him but I am willing to give him a chance to prove my concerns and fears wrong.  I have stated many times before I think he is simply a place holder for 5-6 months and then he will step down making Kamala Harris our first Black female President.  Why is that important?  Well the Democratic party has for years made their platform "The first..." They have pandered to minority groups for votes and then gotten into power and done nothing for those groups.

President elect Biden gave a speech the other day expressing how he is going to help small businesses recover from the Covid lockdowns.  The thing he did not address was that his party controls the cities and states which have had the worst response to Covid, imposed the most restrictions and cause the most deaths based on policies they have put in place.  The one thing he said that struck me the most was this "Our priority will be Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American owned small businesses, women-owned businesses, and finally having equal access to resources needed to reopen and rebuild."  I have no problem supporting those businesses, my problem is excluding other racial groups from the same aid opportunities.  The Democrats scream about racial injustice and equality but at every single turn exclude and put policy in place which places other racial groups at a disadvantage in order to benefit others.  This is systemic racism.  Putting systems in place for the benefit of one racial group over another is the definition of systemic racism.  So why are the same people who have screamed for equal justice now silent?  The answer is simple, it does not fit their idea of equality.

We have seen with the lockdowns the hypocrisy of these people.  The do as I say not as I do mentality.  The justice for me but not for you ideas have set us back to a time where nobody is equal.  Some of these equality advocates have petitioned for segregated dorms on college campuses, black only rec centers, and even supporting financial help through the crisis for minorities only.  Biden's campaign rhetoric was all about unity and healing the country but his actions are about dividing us further.  He and the far left are doing this to restrict our rights and squash the conservative viewpoint.  Just this week every social media platform banned the sitting President of the United States from their platforms, this is not right.  This is censorship.  Never in our history has one viewpoint been censored while others are allowed to continue.  Why is it people are not standing up and stopping this?

We saw people storm our capitol building in DC, which I covered in my last blog, and we saw lawless riots in the streets all summer.  These were cause by the division being sewed in the media and through our politics.  Only when we realize the government works for the people, the people don't subject to the government will we begin to stop this shift in our political system.  If we don't stand up soon I am truly afraid we will lose everything we know and all the freedoms we enjoy.  For now I will pray for the best and hope we eventually get to unity and equality for all not just some.

The vote is in!

    I am a little late with this blog but bear with me.  So I said the other day on Facebook that this election cycle I decided to vote based on two factors 1. Which candidates personality do I like more and 2. Which ticket best represents me as a white middle class male. This has been the litmus test for leftist voting in a majority of recent elections. The Democratic party consistently selects candidates who have very magnetic personalities and a "golden tongue" when it comes to speaking. When they have run candidates that did not have those two traits they have lost elections. Now I know the cycle of the Presidency tends to go back and forth based on the population getting frustrated with the Government as a whole not getting things done.     So lets get to the first reason I am voting this way, the candidates personality. Let me say first and foremost I think Donald Trump has a very boorish, brash and very "New York" in his speaking and actions. He does not have the golden tongue and tends to over exaggerate statistics and numbers to make a situation better than it might be even when the actual numbers are a net positive on his legacy. The biggest positive he has going for him is the results of that attitude breaking the cycle of politics and treating negotiations like business deals. He has gotten much better trade deals around the globe, got Muslim countries to agree to peace with Israel, got better trade with Mexico and Canada, was the first President to never start an armed conflict during his Presidency, and kept North Korea and Iran from getting Nuclear arms. So while his Twitter should be better managed he is getting things done. Joe Biden was once a very shrewd debater, had the golden tongue and could talk his way out of difficult situations. In his "prime" he was a skilled politicians and negotiated deals which ultimately made him and his "friends" a lot of money. He has consistently flip flopped on important issues like climate change, abortion, healthcare, and foreign policy. In this election cycle we have seen the rapid decline of Joe Biden mentally to the point he loses his train of thought and highlights numbers that can not possibly exist. With the idea he will not make it through a 4 year term we must look at Kamala Harris. She IS the candidate going against Trump in reality. She has shown more than one time that she is a far left politician. She believes in extreme changes to our stance on energy and conservation. She wants to abolish police departments and has supported the violent riots. She has consistently used her ethnicity and gender to get jobs and rise into the position she is in. When it is convenient she has used those things and when it isn't she doesn't. While AG of California she used her position to lock up African American males at a disproportionally high rate. She also refused to allow people out of prison who had served their sentence in order to use them for labor for the state. She locked up people for minor marijuana offenses while at the same time gloating about smoking weed while listening to Tupac. When it comes to which personality I trust and don't mind more Donald Trump wins this one.     The second point, which ticket best represents me as a white middle class man. This point will be easier since I have already covered their pasts. Joe Biden having been in congress for over 47 years and not passing laws or writing bills which have aided my life but instead hindering it I cannot support him. In the three and a half years Trump has been in office my take home pay has gone up due to tax cuts, gas prices have gone back to reasonable levels, and most goods and services have decreased in price as well. I think Biden/Kamala are more interested in raising my taxes to support people who I feel take advantage of the system. So on this point Trump wins again.     So in the end I have decided because Trump is white, likes money, and speaks very bluntly I have decided he will be getting my vote. I know this choice instantly makes me a racist, sexist, homophobe, elite one percenter, rapist, and all the other terrible names that come with being a "Trumper" even though nothing in my life supports any of those accusations. I know all of you who read this and know me personally are shocked and I understand if you choose to not be my friend any more. If you disagree with my positions please feel free to comment and share your opinions. No judgement here and I support all peoples ideas and politics!

THE FLY!

 

    In politics we often hear people say "Man I wish I was a fly on the wall in the oval office that day" what we don't hear usually is "Did you see the fly on the Vice Presidents head during that debate?" but last week that was the topic of so many memes, news stories, and social media buzz.  What does that say about the debate itself?  Now that I have had a chance to watch the debate I am here to offer my opinion.

    Lets talk first about the challenger, Senator Kamala Harris.  Throughout the debate she repeated talking point after talking point with little to no facts to back up her statements.  She directly misquoted the President and VP while denying statements Joe Biden and herself have made in speeches that were recorded.  Here are a few of them I have seen for myself.  First she denied Joe Biden and herself wanted to end fracking, they have both been on video in multiple instances stating indeed they wanted to end fracking.  Next she denied that Joe Biden would raise taxes.  She stated he was simply going to repeal the Trump tax cuts granted to big businesses and the wealthy.  Joe Biden has been on video multiple times saying he would raise taxes.  When asked about the Green New Deal she avoided support of this even though Joe Bidens own website states it is a critical piece of their platform.  This was the strategy, avoid admitting or stating the facts of their campaign but instead attack Trump and Pence for being elitist, racist, and utter failures.  Her most effective attack came while trying to tie the administration to Russia and Putin.  That too was weak but at least Trumps friendly nature with Putin and Chinas leader seem like a valid criticism. 

    VP Pence did not do much better.  For anyone who suffered through the Bush/Gore debate his performance was eerily similar to Gore.  He talked with a monotone voice standing on the Presidents record and stating statistics and facts that we have all heard a million times.  His attacks on both Harris and Biden failed to come across as genuine despite the validity of the claims.  His overall performance seemed tired and lackluster.  His best attack came when pointing out the records of Biden and Harris in reference to criminal justice reform and and packing the supreme court.  While he had many good points in his holster he failed to deliver any form of hard blow at all.

    The moderator was annoying all night as she repeatedly cut VP Pence off, although more than once it was valid due to his bloviating and going over time.  She seemed to Favor Harris but overall had more control them the last moderator did with Trump and Biden.  Both candidates avoided name calling and dragging it into the gutter which was a nice change. At the same time both candidates seemed to be simply going through the motions.  At one point a fly landed on the VP's head and stayed there for some time.  Social media blew up with memes ranging from "Flies are attracted to shit" to a pic showing Kamala spread eagle with the statement "Where the fly came from".  The memes kept coming and the fly became an overnight celebrity.  

    In the end an hour of peoples time once again wasted as nothing substantive was presented.  Pot shots and repeat talking points, real or not, was all we got.  Maybe for the remaining two debates we can invite the fly and a spider to debate one another.  As the saying goes "What's normal for the spider is chaos for the fly."
