Obama: Trump is a Russian Spy!

That’s right; Donald Trump is working for the Russians! It’s a terrible revelation I know but the Obama regime has concrete evidence and well those people who hacked the inattentive and secretive Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails, well they were RUSSIAN!

President Obama was heard to say, “You know the FBI tells me that it’s very difficult to prove the source of a cyberattack but, since the FBI works for me, and we would never lie about something this big, we have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Russia is the source of the stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee. Yup, Trumps a spy alright. We may have Loretta Lynch issue an arrest warrant.

Heck Hugo Chavez can arrest his opposition, why can’t I? “

Obama Demands Trump Release Birth Certificate!

I have heard that President Obama wants to see Donald Trump’s birth certificate to prove that he isn’t Russian. Right now the CIA and the FBI are looking into Mr. Trump’s ancestry to see if he had any distant relatives that were either in the Russian Royal Family or better yet, the Russian Revolution.

“And where”, President Obama asked,” was Mr. Trump when Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK, anybody know? He talks about Ted Cruz’s dad meeting Mr. Oswald but that was just a smoke screen. Where was he when Oswald was around, a grassy knoll perhaps?” At the time Trump would’ve been 23 years old, certainly old enough to buy a gun in Texas.

National Press All in for Hillary

The suddenly righteous outrage of the media propagandists, especially a video by the New York Times that could be taken as a campaign blitz FOR Donald Trump. Who wouldn’t want to have Russia on our side for a change? They would be a better friend than an enemy. Wouldn’t it be great to put 60 years of distrust and counteractions behind us? Haven’t we seen this take place between Ireland and Great Britain? I never thought I’d live to see the day when Ireland and Britain sat down and made a deal over Northern Ireland. It’s not the best but it brought peace to the region. And peace lays the groundwork for prosperity and an elevated quality of life. There are a lot of people in the U.S. who hold how Vladimir Putin is running Russia in higher regard than how they view Obama running this country. That’s a strange thing.

Granted, there is a lot of bad history on both sides of the aisle but with the right people in charge for a change, it could happen. Previous U.S. governments felt that the adversarial roll served their ability to hold power but it has taken a man like Donald Trump to view such ideology from a different angle. Why not be more open with another world power?   

But alas, no one president could right our trust issues even in two terms.

Keeping the Cold War Alive

Many presidents in the recent past have used this Us vs. Them dynamic with Russia to help keep themselves in power. It served them better that Russia was the enemy. But now the United States has NO SHORTAGE of enemies and what we really could use are friends. Reviving and keeping the Cold War alive no longer serves us and our nation’s leaders should find some other value to hold power with. How about benevolence for a change? How about a fucking tax cut?

Obama’s Chinese Connection

During his last two presidential runs, Barack Obama had taken money, a lot of money, from government money men in China but that certainly got little play in the Government Press. This money was very influential. And what did they get in return? Any kind of recent trade deals come to mind? Mr. Obama doesn’t really talk much about this for obvious reasons.

Hillary Grasping at Straws

By alienating Bernie Sanders supporters and being unable to find, never mind fire up, her own voter base, the Clinton campaign is resorting to throwing bigger and bigger accusations up against the wall of public opinion with more frequency and larger failures. Would a thinking person understand that Trumps so called “Fear Mongering “ of illegal immigrants and ISIL at our doorstep is any different than the Democrats using Russia and Vladimir Putin as a Boogie Man?

Or that Trump openly asking Russia to release Hillary’s emails that she deleted even though she was under a court order not to do so is a bigger worry than the fact she deleted said emails and maintained an a private email server for government correspondence that was hacked in the first place? And if, like we were originally told, there was nothing in those thousands of deleted emails, then why would it matter, if Russia indeed had them, if they were released.

Right now the Political Left and their media enablers will say anything and do anything to hold onto power, the power they can’t hold if the American People aren’t on board with come election time. All information is suspect and if you are a Trump supporter, you already know this.

The Real Truth

In our Shoot-the-Messenger world, the real heroes are the people who risk their future, their fortune and their very necks to brink the public this information. Imagine how stupid and uniformed were were about the level and nature of the NSA spying on all Americans without a warrant like the law stipulates. The not so distant past seems like another world to us now. 

But it took people like Julien Assange, Eric Snowden and that poor devil Bradley Manning who battled their consciouses, their upbringing and their nations to bring out the truth to the world. It invites a comparison of Prometheus bringing light to mankind. Now enlightened, what do we do with this information? 

It's time to make an informed choice. 

Sanders Sells His Soul

He should have been the Democratic Nominee. And he would have been the nominee had the Democratic National Committee not secretly colluded with the Hillary Clinton Campaign to freeze him out of the race.

Votes were stolen. Support was not supplied and super delegates were appointed to stand against him. All of the time, effort, work and MONEY that went into the Bernie Sanders for President campaign was in the end just a Dog and Pony Show for the RUBES. 

It's not like Hillary was somehow surprised this was going on. She was in on the whole con. It was she who was driving the bus when it ran over the Sander's campaign and don't let anybody kid you. The DNC dances to Hillary's tune and not the other way around. 

Still, Sanders had a chance. His message was being heard, his vigor was infectious and his campaign proved popular. I believe he got most of the votes but we'll never know because his weren't counted. Bernie Sanders had his nomination literally taken, stolen from him and his substantial voter base.

Julian Assange really only confirmed what we already knew: That the Democratic Establishment conspired with the Clinton Campaign to deliver Hillary the nomination as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States. 

How historic was this challenge? In many ways it did make history. Hillary’s campaign will go down in U.S history as the most underhanded demonstration of campaign skulduggery in the modern era. 

That we know of.

Fairness, Fairness, Fairness…

After all this, one can better appreciate the theme of this year’s Democratic National Convention. It’s all about fairness, unity and establishing a level playing field for the American citizen. The Democratic candidate will seek to promote fairness and transparency at every level of government.

All put forth without a hint of irony or even a facial tick.

Sander’s Supporters just Bad Sports

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz addressed the crowd at the opening of the convention with these inspiring words for the disgruntled Sanders delegates:

“Come now people, you’re just being ridiculous. You are just uninformed about how the game is played. This is national politics and we can’t have a guy like Sanders win the Democratic Nomination, can’t you see? Listen, we had a process and fair or unfair you lost so suck it up and vote for Hillary. What? You mean you all thought you were part of a national movement? You’re kidding, right? You people are more naive than we thought. You all fucked up, you trusted us! You thought we would treat each candidate fairly and without preference. Well it doesn’t work that way so grow up and meet the real world!”

“Oops, gotta go!”

And with that, she was gone.

Everything Free in America!

But Bernie’s legacy will live on in the Democratic Party Platform:

• Free College Tuition: But no jobs to go to. And since we all know how highly people regard free things, the value of a public college education won’t be much if this should happen.

• Raise the National Minimum Wage: No jobs will come of this either. If you can’t pay $10.00 an hour you’re not going to be able to pay $15.00. Not for a crumby job only worth $7.50.

• Renegotiate College Debt: This is good because this actually hits a government program up to renegotiate the bad-deal loans they have been handing out to anyone who applies since they took over the student loan program. So essentially it will be the government cutting the money it will receive. Odds of that happening: Zero.

• Universal Child Care: Everybody’s kid gets to go to a daycare facility free!  This idea has also been flown as Universal Kindergarten. Just another government program for another government paycheck for another class of government employees. Oh, and who is going to pay for that? Answer: You.

• Paid Family Leave: More holidays for American workers paid for by, ultimately, the American worker! It can't get any better than that!

Bernie Endorses Hillary!

I checked the temperature in Hell this morning when I woke up and it was 20 degrees F! It surely was a cold day in Hell as Bernie stood up and told his die-hard supporters that HILLARY CLINTON was the best person for the job of President of the United States! 

Did they believe it? Hell NO! 

Did Bernie believe it? Hell NO!

Does ANYBODY believe it?

HELL NO!

So in the end Bernie sells out on the floor of the Democratic Convention in order to get his agenda adopted as part of the party platform.

But nobody is buying it.

Hillary Picks Crazy-Looking Fat White Guy for Vice President

Can they take a picture of this guy that doesn’t make him look demented? Is such a thing possible? I just get a weird vibe off of the visuals of this guy since before this I’ve never laid eyes on Tim Kaine before. Now that I have, I’m not so sure of what I’m seeing. He reminds me of the uncle in the family you didn’t leave the kids alone with.

Again, the Sanders supporters just have to grin and bear it, right? Hillary is the nominee and that’s just the way it is, ok?

National Public Radio is on board. CNN is on board. The DNC is on board too.

So shut up and sit down!

Sanders Endorsement of Clinton Rings Hollow

No one believed it when President Obama recently endorsed Hillary Clinton and said that she is the best candidate for the office that there is.

And nobody is going to believe it if Bernie Sanders can choke out the same line.

Bernie Sanders endorsing Hillary Clinton for President of the United States would need a great moment in acting to pull off since knowing what we all know and the slow burn that Sander’s supporters are going through right now after having been jobbed by the Democratic National Committee just before the polls opened for the California Democratic Primary. And it wasn’t the first time they got screwed by the “Creative Democracy” that the Democrats practice.

We all know that the DNC had picked Hillary Clinton as the nominee right from the start and did everything they could to derail the campaign of Bernie Sanders.

How can anyone believe that Sanders would truly and sincerely endorse Clinton and validate everything they did to him? It makes no sense.

There certainly isn’t much democracy going on in the DNC these days and Sander’s campaign exposed the rigging, the behind –the-scenes skullduggery and the outright rigging of the vote to favor Hillary. For Bernie to stand there and say “I want Hillary Clinton for President” will be the ultimate humiliation. Will he do it? How will he handle it? How will his staunch supporters handle it?

Good question.

I don’t believe Hillary did win the popular vote amongst Democratic Primary Voters. But how are we ever going to know? All we have is what the Dems have told us. Now shut up and sit down!

In the long run this treatment of Sanders will haunt Hillary. Never a good candidate to begin with since even the people who are going to vote for her don’t believe she is capable of doing anything but keeping the money flowing their way for as long as it’s going to last. And that isn’t saying much.

Nobody believes Hillary Clinton can restore prosperity and tranquility domestically and regain respect and integrity globally. Who has heard that plan? There isn’t one. With a Hillary regime there will only be the Status Quo for the preciously short time that is going to do any good. No no, a Hillary presidency is going to be a disaster.

We might not get much better under the circumstances from Trump but at least we may have a chance.  Donald Trump is a man of bold ideas and he will have his chance to put them out on the big stage for the citizens of this country to weigh.

And that chance to compare his own big ideas was taken away from Bernie Sanders.  Not by the popular vote but by the DNC powers that be that had already decided who their candidate was long ago. The Sanders campaign, all that energy, all that optimism and all that time and money was all a charade. It was never going to happen. It was all a waste of time and effort, shoveling shit against a rigged system help bent on Hillary Clinton despite her vast problems, baggage and weaknesses.

It should have been Bernie Sanders grasping for that brass ring instead of the conniving, devious and distrustful Hillary Clinton. What did she ever do to deserve the nomination? What, did she ever accomplish in politics that had any impact on anything? All she's managed to do is steal an election. 

So does anybody think that Sanders supporters are just going to forget this?

Don’t think so. 

Gay Community Should Arm Itself

When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

And President Obama anxiously awaits his next anti-gun press conference.

So rather than being a government propaganda tool as a dead person, it would be ok to choose to learn how to defend yourself and avoid the whole political tussle.

When you are a target, and gays have been targets from the beginning of the age of Christianity, then perhaps you would take an interest and responsibility for your own protection because, let’s face it, nobody is in a better position to do it than yourself.

More women are arming themselves than ever before and successfully defending themselves too. Although as a general rule the National Press tend to suppress news of people successfully fighting off attackers and robbers. They wouldn’t want people getting “ideas” that they could actually stop crime when it happens to them.

If someone in the club had a gun on them beside the detailed police officer, who was not enough, then they could have popped this guy Mateen. Preferably, when his back was turned.  It has happened where someone in an establishment under attack had shot the attacker. In fact, this has happened many, many times.

If we were talking about a segment of society that made up 50% percent of the population then we wouldn’t be talking about gays being shunned and attacked as often since only minority populations are targets of discrimination and prejudice. Gays are a minority population and despite the laws passed to protect their rights and freedoms they are still subject to ridicules and violence not experienced by most straight people. 

Turning our attention to the shooter, Omar Mateen, a 1^st generation American citizen as well as a radicalized Muslim terrorist, his father made a totally bullshit statement about the shooting not being “about religion” since his poor unfortunate son witnessed two men kissing in public and THIS is what drove him to shoot up the gay nightclub. I’m glad he took the time to straightened that out.

Most people aren’t driven to kill upon witnessing such things but the most likely characteristics of those who do seem to be Muslim. The Muslims are attacking people in Europe. Attacking women in Brussels and Munich, attacking women without headscarves in their own country and attacking non-Muslim people everywhere. Muslims are throwing gay people and people just plain suspected of being gay, off of two story buildings with their hands tied behind their backs in Libya, Iran and Pakistan. Gays are being hung in Saudi Arabia. Everywhere in Muslim countries gays are being HUNTED and KILLED.

But this shooting in an Orlando gay club, it’s not about religion. It’s just about killing gay people.

That’s all. We should just understand this. 

To clarify a major misconception concerning so called “Assault Rifles”. These are just semi-automatic rifles, a rifle that resets the trigger using a “blow-back” system that was first invented before the Civil War. Today it is a very common device that is in almost every firearm made and legal in every state. To think that these are going to go away regardless of what the Obama regime attempts is naive at best. Whether the gun is displayed in a classic wooden stock or in a rather fierce looking black polymer encasement, it is still the same weapon. Under the Clinton syndicate's Assault Rifle ban back in 1994, the oft-demonized Colt AR-15, with it's lightweight polymer stock and sleek black design was branded an assault weapon while it's wooden-clad competitor, the Ruger Mini-14, was not. Of course the sale of the AR-15s really took off because of the ban and it remains the country's most popular rifle.  

When the government media speaks of "Automatic" weapons, they are actually referring to these semi-automatic weapons to purposely mislead the uniformed. Automatic weapons can only legally be possessed by law enforcement and military personnel. Civilians cannot have them legally.

If these guns or even ALL guns were banned in the United States, then they will just come into the country from someplace else. Our borders are unsecured, remember? The same inaction by our present government that allows illegal aliens to enter also allows goods and materials not allowed in this country to come in also. China and Russia among other armament manufacturing countries will find a ready market for their guns here in the U.S.  If we can’t keep drugs out of the country to the point where we are legalizing them, what makes any thinking person think that we can keep guns out?

So the message should be clear: Protect yourselves at all times.If you won't do it, who will?

Sanders More Important than Clinton in 2016 Election

Despite the charade by the national media and the “looking ahead to Trump” posturing by his Washington Insider opponent, Bernie Sanders may yet be able to wrest the Democratic Presidential Nomination from a faltering and lackluster Hillary Clinton.

With landslide wins in New Hampshire and Vermont, wins in Minnesota, Oklahoma and Colorado and a very close near win in Massachusetts, Senator Bernie Sanders has already demonstrated that his message carries across the nation.

With more primary victories on the horizon, the Vermont senator is underscoring the profound weakness of Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate.

The South notwithstanding, Sanders popularity and that of Donald Trump, sends the message that people are tired of establishment candidates trotting out the same old populist bullshit with the result that nothing ever changes for them. The poor stay poor and the rich stay rich.

This is a cycle voters appear to want to break and whether it means a break to the Left or a break to the Right, they still are voting in large numbers to break away from the same old establishment candidate.

Trouble for Hillary

Despite all the big talk about her dominance on Super Tuesday, Clinton still did not win nearly what she and her media enablers thought she would. All the messages Hillary has tried to float have not served her well. All her votes are based on her past, not her future. Nostalgia is a poor running mate!

The Importance of Bernie

Nothing of what Hillary is saying breaks any new ground. Hers is the message of the something for everyone variety. A Hillary speech is more like things you say when you are running for President with an expectation that you just do it and get it over with and nobody really believes it or believes in it and it shows. 

Now compare that to the message that Senator Sanders is engendering. Sanders campaign is energetic, enthusiastic, certainly idealistic and is attracting new ears young and old who do believe in what he is saying whole heartedly. Talk with the people of Vermont and they all say that Mr. Sanders hasn't changed his message from the very beginning and that he has seldom failed to deliver on his promises. Love the message, hate the message, there is an energy there that brings weight to his convictions. 

It is my profound wish that Bernie Sanders succeeds in his efforts to become the Democratic Nominee and gain the grand stage to put forth in the worlds ultimate arena of ideas his argument for why he and his plan is the best for the American people. Because if that should happen, can you imagine for a moment what these debates will be like? 

They will only be the ultimate education for everyone in the entire world lucky enough to be able to tune in.

The absolute most Socialist candidate the nation has produced since the 1920s. Bernie Sanders, who is the second coming of Eugene V. Debs will take the stage to debate one of the country’s most successful Capitalist entrepreneurs to have ever run for the office of the presidency, Donald Trump!

One man, with the message that only through Government can the nation become a safer, more secure and prosperous place for the individual versu the other man who exposes less government intrusion, more self-reliance and self-determination as the way to prosperity for the nation and its people.

This would be just brilliant!

It’s the message of a free lunch versus you just can’t get it for free!

In Bernie Sanders’ world it is Government that creates jobs, housing and funds for the “downtrodden” who have failed through no fault of their own but for a system that is stacked against them. Bernie’s government will rectify the inequality of their situations and punish those who are guilty.

In Donald Trump’s world, it is not government that creates jobs but the individual with the better idea. Success isn’t a crime nor is it derived through anything but hard work and risk. You take the risk and you either fail or reap the rewards of your efforts. You have a right to your success, government does not.

These debates would be something ALL of America and really the whole world should hear, especially our youth.

This is why Bernie Sanders is an important figure at this time in history where we find the United States deeply divided and groping in the lack of clarifying light to find a path to take that will bring back the prosperity that it has lacked for the last decade and to bring renewed opportunity to the nation's underutilized youth.

These are the two messages that resonate across the country right now. They are compelling, they are vibrant and they are well presented by people who are absolutely resolute in their belief in them.

This could be the greatest political confrontation we could ever hope to see in our life-times.

And the last person we need there is Hillary Clinton. 

Castro's Revolution a Failure

The largest export of Cuba is Cubans. 

This has been the end result of the glorious Communist vision of Fidel Castro. The people who are left on the island are glad to see the others go not because they view them as traitors to the Revolution but that by leaving their backward, impoverished island nation they know there will be fewer people to compete for the limited resources they need to sustain themselves.

After all this time, the only thing Fidel Castro and his Revolutionaries have to trumpet about is the glories of an empty island in the sun that doesn’t look like it’s progressed a day beyond that first day of January 1959 when Castro and his merry band of brothers road into Havana and time, for the Cuban people at least, stopped.

Yes, the Cuban revolution managed to throw out American business interests. And THEN what happened? Nothing! Such is the extent of the success of the revolution.Oh, they tried to get Russia interested in a missile base and they managed to train some decent boxers but that's about it. 

Although it hasn't been good to anyone else in particular, the revolution has been good to the Castro brothers, Fidel and Raul. They get to rule over a fiefdom that never ever actually accomplished anything but throw out the American Capitalists. For the time being anyway. And then there is that thing about the mass exodus of it's people from the workers paradise.  

Never having anything to offer people born with ambition, for we are all born with ambition, the hardly educated Castro just let them go so he could go on being the Dictator rather than actually attempt to build a culture, educate the people, build a shining city or even a road for that matter. 

After all, being King was all he was ever good at. A fighter can lead a revolt but they can never lead a peace. Mao couldn’t do it, Stalin couldn’t do it and although Castro’s death counts hasn’t noticeably come near that of those two, he has killed his share. He knows no other way to hold onto power. A killer can never be anything else.

But soon El Captain will shed his mortal coil and although Raul, part of the Communist youth movement at a spry 85 years old and the rest of the now geriatric placeholders will try to keep Castro’s “Vision” alive, not knowing what that ever was and the hands of time will once again hand over Cuba to people who actually want a quality life and who want to own stuff.

And to think that there are people, mostly privileged people who have been allowed to travel to Cuba despite the U.S. ban, who think opening up the country to trade will somehow RUIN the country and its people. Can you believe it? How backward can you get? They are already ruined, now they must be resurrected. 

How would YOU like to live everyday like its 1959? And I’m not talking about Soc Hops, souped up hot rods, chics in poodle skirts and Buddy Holly on the jukebox at the soda shop kind of 1959. No no, Cuba today is the 1959 where X-Rays were just coming into fashion, a time where there was no such thing as a pacemaker, high blood pressure medicine, blood thinners or coronary bypass surgery. All gasoline sold had LEAD as an octane boosting additive, automobiles didn't have either seat belts or head rests never mind airbags and "Smoking isn't bad for you at all." said your doctor while puffing on an unfiltered Camel cigarette in the examination room! 

Some phones still had a crank on them and "party lines", where the whole community was on the same phone line, still were prevalent outside of the big cities IF the phone company decided to run a wire to your town at all. Most of the TVs were still black & white and there actually WERE roads like Mayberry RFD (for Rural Farm Drive) and nothing was open on Sunday EVER. Plus you could go to jail for a year for possession of one joint in many states. Yes, THAT 1959. 

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t know what you were missing but guess what? You DO know what you’re missing. And so do the Cuban people. People are people everywhere in that they want to enjoy the fruits of their own labor and to provide for their families. They want a goal to work towards and to achieve things in their working lives. They may not all get to where they want to go but it’s in the chance to achieve these things that the Castro Regime has kept from them. Look at the way Castro’s “Children of the Revolution” are living. Then look at the masses that have risked everything to get the hell out of there. Let’s face it, it is a total act of desperation to get on an old car tire inner tube and try to paddle your ass to Florida. But that’s just what these people are doing.There are many Cubans on the bottom of the Florida Straits. 

Castro won the revolution alright but he will leave his nation worse off than when he “saved” it and in reality he didn't save it from anybody, he only saved it for himself. Cuba is a land that time has left behind and like North Korea, will have a huge learning curve when civilization finally catches up to them. And it will. It always does.

Now in his twilight, we can look at Castro's reign over Cuba with clarity and so with clarity can declare that he has failed Cuba. Castro failed Cuba and its long suffering people with his selfish small thinking. He never had a plan after victory. He never accomplished a thing beyond the revolution. A revolution he relived in his mind everyday and never stopped talking about. But what he always spoke so fervently about was in the past. And now it's the distant past. 

Castro never took a step beyond that one victory, 57 years ago, to develop a country that could exemplify that his way was the better way. He could never show that to the world because he couldn't do it. In this Castro failed like the other despots before him who espoused a Communist ideal that they could never conjure and despite all his grand talk of freedom for the working people, he was just another short-sighted man who could only lead with a gun. 

The sooner history forgets him, the better. 

Anti-Trump Media Cries Grow Shrill

Each morning my clock radio greets me with anti-Trump messages. The morning wags on the local stations repeat ad nauseam: Trump will be Genghis Khan. Trump will be Charlie Sheen. Trump will be Leona Helmsley!

He can’t win. He’s not presidential. He’s coarse. He’s hateful…blah blah blah.

It’s all water off a duck's back to me and to the other people who already know who they're voting for. 

Nobody cares. Nobody is listening and these radio idiots will all pay for their behavior after the general election. Of course, these value-less touts will have changed their tune before then when they see the writing on the wall. They are noting but mere just prostitutes with high paying media jobs doing the bidding of their media masters because they already know what we know; that they have no talent and the only reason they have their jobs in the first place is because they are connected. They have kissed the pinky ring of the government media moguls and their fealty is required. And I can beat Anderson Cooper at anything he thinks he's good at. In fact, line 'em all up and I'll knock them down. They aught to be ashamed but then again they have no shame. That's why they have the jobs they have. 

Of course, all this bluster is coming out of fear. They fear a man they can’t buy. The government fears a man they can’t influence. Donald Trump is not “one of the gang”. He is not part of the establishment that has Ruled the United States for the last, oh, 46 years or so even though they have failure written all over their residency in the Halls of Power. Trump will have capable people around him, not donor hacks and the GOP/Media complex has failed in it's attempt to get rid of Corey Lewandowski with their bullshit assault setup. What a hoax!

It’s all so tiresome the endless tirade of morning, noon and night media going on and on. It’ becomes one long sad song even from the so called Conservative stations like FOX and our local Boston station WRKO. The morning people there, I don’t even remember their names they are so awful to listen to They just recite their lines about Trump every Goddamned day. I tune in for the first anti-Trump word and turn it off just to be sure they’re still at their game of charades. Give it up already.

But they can’t because these autobots are just doing what they are told.

It’s a shame I think because at one time I’m sure these people wanted to make a difference in their radio careers but now all they can get are these crumby government propaganda jobs and so are just following orders to keep their big money paychecks coming. How they can look at themselves in a mirror each morning boggles the mind.

 The glee that imbues the writing when the online media reports the prospects of a brokered convention is even more annoying. Even the New York Post, a newspaper I love and adore and which I consider one of the last bastions of good reporting left in the country, is divided in their reports about The Donald.

But that is because Donald Trump is a polarizing figure no doubt. I have gone to see him speak and he's the real deal. Flawed yes, but culpable and accountable. He is a candidate who bleeds. You either believe in him or you don't. But who else is there to believe in?  

So if not Donald Trump then who could it be? John Kasich? Have you listened to this guy speak about well, anything? I have and this guy is on the moon! Anyone who wants this guy in the driver’s seat when the country is facing the serious financial, security and diplomatic problems we have today is not thinking about the well being of the United States. They are only thinking about stopping Donald Trump above the welfare of the nation. Oh yeah, and nobody outside of Ohio has voted for the guy. When I think of Kasich as a candidate I think of the term "Grasping at Straws" which is what the government media is doing when they mention his name as the Republican nominee without laughing out loud into the microphone. 

And there is the smarmy and overtly religious Ted Cruz. He of the faux outrage and righteous indignation at having to play second fiddle to Mr. Trump when the nation should be rallying around HIM. The key to a Cruz victory is Sincerity. If he can just fake that better, he's in. 

Still, the national media and their crony controllers don't want him either. They’ll take a cardboard cutout before they’ll ever want Ted Cruz to replace Donald Trump as the Republican nominee. No, the powers that be want BOTH Cruz and Trump GONE. That's why they’d take Kasich in a minute even though I believe the guy is hearing voices for Christ’s sake.

So as it stands, the GOP would rather hand the election to Hillary Clinton even though when the Shit does eventually hit the Fan, which it WILL sooner or later given our financial balancing act, she will be less than useless with her “we have to work together to beat this” rhetoric. I’m sure the nation will be reassured often while we are all standing in the bread line.

But there is a good chance that she will not get to the general election. Hillary has been out hustled by a driver on her Left shoulder when she was looking to the Right. Bernie Sanders is only a Convention Intervention away from knocking her off too.

The funny thing about this whole subversion of the electoral process is that both Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders are in the same boat as Donald Trump. They are also “Personas non-grate” when it comes to being their party’s nominee yet they are willing to go along with the whole anti-Trump campaign with the FAT CHANCE that they will gain acceptance by doing so. This shows them as hypocrites AT BEST. They don’t know that their best chance at acceptance by the American People (remember them, the voters?) is to defend the process for everybody involved. To look the other way while a fellow candidate, rival or not, is torpedoed by the GOP Political Establishment that only cares to hold onto power while the country goes to Hell means that they would gladly be part of the problem rather than a bold and independent force for a solution. That’s just peachy isn’t it? Go 'head, vote for those guys.

The reality is that neither the Donald Trump supporters or the Bernie Sanders supporters are going to vote for “Brand X” in the general election. That’s a fact. And don’t think the mid-term elections are going to work out for established candidates either if these popular and viable candidates are derailed over some kind of procedural skulduggery. You can bet on it. 

It would be best for all involved to preserve the integrity of the American System of Government and it's electoral process regardless of the outcome. That's why we hold a VOTE. So you GOP establishment types can just go collect your substantial pensions, paid for by the American Taxpayer btw and get the hell out of the way. We need fresh ideas right now and the YOU GUYS haven't had any for quite awhile now.

But if these nefarious powers should succeed, I guess the United States should change its motto: “The United States: Where anyone can grow up to be President” to “The United States: Where SOME people can grow up to be President.”

Others aren’t allowed. 

Will Romney Run?

The rumors of a planned Brokered Convention, or rather, a convention where a candidate is not decided upon during the first ballot and further deliberation and voting is required until a candidate is chosen, is more than likely a story cooked up by the national media since the race for at least the Republican nomination could be over by next Tuesday. What will they have to write about then?

There hasn’t been a brokered convention in the Television Era and there will not be one now. The party conventions only serve these days as a confirmation of the leading candidate after the grueling primary process. It is a jumping off point for the party platform heading into the last step of the presidential race. For someone to “Jump the line” and try to gain the party nomination without busting their ass on the trail and spending all that money and energy will be impossible to pull off today. Visually and politically it will be a disaster. 

What group wants to cast further doubt upon the validity of the electoral process when the people who support Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are already wary of the establishment attempting to step in and correct what they have built? Are the primaries something to ignore if the “wrong” candidate is chosen?

Predictability of outcome is not a part of a free and fair election process. If something should happen that makes the people feel their votes have been ignored, only chaos will follow. And if you are a party to such a thing, do you want your name associated with something like that? History is a harsh judge.

I don't believe for a moment that the story is true of Mitt Romney entering the 2016 presidential race at this late stage or of him being offered as a viable candidate in a brokered convention. If people get that the fix is in they will certainly turn on both him and what's left of the Republocrat party. 

Plus, if Romney should enter the race at this stage he will be crushed.

The one thing that Mitt Romney will never shake as long as he lives is that HE is the father of ObamaCare.

RomneyCare NEVER ran in the black. It ran deficits right from the beginning and nothing changed except for the name on the program. To cover up the deficits that the Massachusetts exchanges were running, Obama's pal and former governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick used the general highway funds to cover the shortfalls so it looked like it was holding its own. This is why all the roads and bridges in the state are in bad shape and the legislature is always trying to raise the gas tax...again…and again.

ObamaCare, as predicted, is blowing a hole in the nation’s economy. This is why we are stumbling along in the Obama Years and never getting ahead. Any economic gains are offset by growing debt. It's a catastrophe that Mitt will have a difficult time washing his name off of. 

Mitt Romney left a terrible legacy for the state of Massachusetts. If he had run again for governor instead of running for president the first chance he got, he would have been in a better position today in the presidential sweepstakes and of more importance he would have kept Deval Patrick out of the governorship. We paid dearly for that move and more has yet to be revealed. 

So now Mitt has come out at the behest of the establishment and launched an attack on the leading candidate of, subject to dissagreement, his own party. And it's over something he got hung out to dry on himself in 2012, his tax returns. This is going to endear him to the electorate? 

Donald Trump is right, Mitt Romney is a fool! 

Romney's political career is one of hurried missteps, hesitating miscalculations and failures to make the correct decision at the correct time. 

Mr. Romney, it's over.   

Tim Cook Right to Refuse FBI Request

“The United States government has demanded that Apple take an unprecedented step which threatens the security of our customers. We oppose this order, which has implications far beyond the legal case at hand.” – Time Cook – CEO Apple Inc.

In America we still have the right to say “no”, especially to the federal government.

Tim Cook, the Apple Executive who has just thrust himself and his company into the biggest battle he and his company ever faced over his refusal to have the corporation he leads aid the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, in cracking the encryption algorithm on the Apple iPhone5 which the fanatical Islamic Terrorist couple, Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik had in their possession at the time the FBI caught up to them and shot them full of holes after they shot 14 people to death in in cold blood at a rented hall in San Bernardino during a holiday party.

You know, it’s the Federal Government who let these people into the country, didn’t investigate them, gave them JOBS, free college, free health care, government paid apartments all funded by the U.S. taxpayer and basically kissed their asses right up to the point where these "Huddled masses yearning to be Free" rewarded all this altruism and kindness by killing a bunch of people and spitting into the eye of the American public.

And now the FBI wants Apple to help. NO, they DEMAND that Apple help.

And I say “Screw Them!”

Does this resemble at all another little incident from the not-so-recent past where President Obama and his minion, form Attorney General Eric Holder, allowed guns to cross into Mexico, fall into the “wrong” hands ie: The Mexican Drug Cartel, get a thousand plus Mexican citizens killed plus a U.S. border agent, Brian Terry, and then turn around and blame the 2^nd Amendment of the U.S. Bill of Rights for allowing people in America to own guns?

Damned Skippy it does!

The FBI isn’t investigating SHIT when it comes to these Islamic refugees who they are flying into our towns. The level of indoctrination into this cult religion that they are possessed by is on a scale of fanaticism the world hasn't since the 15th century. To label most of these characters as moderate or even conservative does not come close to how they think. Let's not continue to kid ourselves. 

So you would think just for the sake of a concern for our citizenry that someone in our government would have bothered to ask, “Well, how do you suppose these people are going to cope walking around in an open and free society?”

Well, we have the answer now don’t we, they aren’t coping very well, are they?

Radio "Conservatives" on Wrong Side of Issue

Two notable radio talk show people who are on the wrong side of this issue and thus have lost all credibility with me since their lack of consistency on Truth, Justice and the American Way is startling.

One cannot rail against the government for their over intrusive methods day after day, year after years and then suddenly say,, “Well, Apple should help out he FBI, after all, it’s for our own good.”Are you kidding me? How off the fucking rails is that?

Michael Savage is one. He’s a national figure. He’s been banned from entering Great Britain for…I don’t know, something he said if you can believe that excuse. Of course this is the same band of British idiots that have been debating banning Donald Trump so who knows how they think.

But Michael Savage, the man who's mantra of "Borders, Language and Culture" has made him a national icon seems to have taken a turn to the Left on the Right to Privacy and the increased infiltration by the government into every facet or the American people's daily lives.

On the radio today Savage asked a question: "Why would you trust that big conglomerate guy Tim Cook more than FBI head James Comey?"

And my answer is: "Yes, why WOULD I trust that big conglomerate guy Tim Cook more than FBI head James Comey?"

There are plenty of reasons but the big one is that James Comey works for the Government. Tim Cook doesn't trust the FBI and I don't trust the FBI. That's our new bond.

What an absurd question. If he hasn't lost his marbles, he certainly has lost his moral high ground so I don't know what's next for him after this. All he'll have now is his money. Good luck with that Michael. 

The second radio wag is Boston’s own Howie Carr. Not as prominent since his act of “I hate everything” probably doesn’t play well nationally. He goes on about how "we're taxed too much, too much is given to people who don't work, the government thinks they can tell us what to do etc" but at the end of the day, he's on their side. What a hypocrite. 

The Bill of Rights

You cannot pick and choose which Amendments of the Bill of Rights you want to uphold and defend, you take them ALL or you take NONE and attempting to apply them for some things but not others is hypocritical and arbitrary. Not the stuff of legendary or lasting governance.  

This is not about Liberty for ME and not YOU. It's Liberty for ALL and if we can't all enjoy the same liberties in this country no matter who you are or what you do then perhaps we deserve what we get. Imagine for a moment what this country would be like without the Bill of Rights and the constant struggle to keep the United States for it's citizens and not for it's government. Why, we'd probably be like Germany or the UK, where the government just decides what it wants to do and you, you unfortunate son of a bitch, well, you just have to lump it! That's how Germany got all those killer immigrants. You think there was a vote on it?

Freedom, it ain't free. And it isn't just the government we have to fight but the short-sighted among us who are all too willing to give up their rights just because they think the government can and is even willing to protect them.

There is nothing more annoying to hear someone say "I'm all for the Bill of Rights BUT...this is different" or "I'm all for the people's Right to Privacy BUT...this is different." Or those idiots who  would let the police just search their house because..."I've got nothing to hide."

That's not the point, stupid! Like the police have never brought anything with them to "find" before.

And everybody is for the Freedom of Speech right up until they hear something they don't like. Even the late and great Supreme Court Justice Anthoney Scalia ruled against the right of free speech for that wackado Westboro Baptist Church who's members show up and picket the funerals of U.S. soldiers killed in our endless wars in the Middle East and shout "Thank God for dead soldiers" while the deceased's family are burying him. Yes, they have a right to do that. In America there is no "Free Speech Zone" every public place is a free speech zone.

You may not like it but you should defend it because if a time ever comes and you want to speak out about an affront or perceived injustice and couldn't, then where would you be?

Of fair weather Patriots, there are many. How easily someone abandons principle in the face of controversy and a little peer pressure. How would you like someone like this packing your parachute?

Many states in the Union have in the past here and there attempted to pass “Duty to Rescue” laws. These are laws that were written and passed to compel citizens under penalty of law to intervene if they happen upon a situation where someone is in danger or about to be killed. These laws made the person, who in no way did anything to put these victims in danger; liable if the victims were injured or killed. Some of the laws merely compelled people to call 911, others had stricter and more demanding wording. These laws have always been a failure. You cannot compel a person to act against their own interests.

Apple Inc

And in the case of Apple Inc., the Federal Government is demanding they act in opposition to the best interests not only of the company but also our Constitution of the United States. Complying with the government's demand will undermine the entire organization and drive it's value into the ground.

Would you trust an Apple product again if they did? 

There are a lot of people and organizations who don't like Apple Inc. They don't like it that they are a big successful organization that have brought products that people want to the marketplace and have become a major company employing thousands of people worldwide and have created wealth where none existed before. Many on the political Left and Right are just hoping to see Apple Inc fail and our left-leaning national news services report with glee the coming showdown with the government.

Many people let their feelings about Apple's position in the marketplace cloud their thinking. They may be a rich company but they can still be right when it comes to defending their business and the rights of their paying customers against Federal Intervention. And they are.

So say the Feds do manage to compel Apple to comply with their demands. Once they got their hands on the ability to get into the iPhones, it would be THEY who would then be trading it away to foreign interests with something to barter and the desire to know. Don't let 'em kid you.

No, this is a big fight. This is bigger than Apple Inc and bigger than San Bernardino. What there is to be gained at this point from the killer's phone is nothing compared to what that phone represents to the freedom of all Americans. This is a fight for the rights of every citizen to be secure in their homes and property, not from terrorism but from the people we THINK are going to protect us. I hope Apple fights this with every resource at their disposal. Let's hope. 

Make no mistake, it has been the Federal Government that has been negligent in their handling of the refugees and now that their behavior has been exposed as not acting in the best interests of the American people, they want to point the finger of blame at Apple and use the blood of 14 dead as the reason they should help them.

I don’t believe the deaths of 14 people, when stacked up to the millions of lives lost in the defense of our nation and the bedrock we have built it upon, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to be a good enough reason to comply.

Turkey Trots Out Big Lie in Syria

Where are the bodies?

Russia reportedly hits hospitals and schools and kills 50 “civilians in rebel held Northern Syria yet the videos show no bodies! A couple of guys run by the camera with a pile of blankets in a stretcher. Lots of shouting and people digging in destroyed buildings while a voice-over in English describes the destruction.

This is the Big Lie come back into plain site in the warm up to continued intervention into the Syrian Civil war. While earthquake videos always show people being dragged out of crumbled buildings, here in Syria there is no such vision. Not even a snapshot has come out of this with a corpus delicti.

In a war of pictures in the television age, the one thing that would best sway the hearts and minds of the people seems to be missing: Evidence of a Crime.

Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, always a reliable source for truth and justice in this situation since it it Turkey that is supplying arms to the anti-Assad forces, said that Russian missiles hit a “children’s hospital” and that many civilians and children were killed. There’s plenty of footage of the buildings but where are the dead? There is nothing, not a second of footage of bodies anywhere. You know why? Because the only bodies they pulled out of those buildings were SOLDIERS!

Now we’ve all seen the bullshit setups the Palestinians love to film where one minute someone is lying under a concrete slab and the next minute they’re walking around with a crutch. There seems to be a limit to the number of actors these guys can come up with so you’ll have to forgive me for being skeptical having seen the so called “Palestinians” shoot their own people because they were in the presence of a foreign journalists video footage so they could claim that Israeli soldiers did it. The footage was remarkable because it depicted a man and his teenage son caught in the crossfire between the opposing forces and he was shielding his son with his back not to the Israeli forces but to his own supposed protectors because he knew as well as they did he was on camera. 

   

There is little coming out of Syria right now in the form of “News” that I am inclined to believe so one thing I will believe is when I see footage of actually bodies being pulled from the newly minted wreckage. If this existed I am positive that the rebel forces would have had no qualms about showing them to the world. Where is it?

Everybody filmed the Japanese Tsunami in 2011. Everybody filmed the World Trade Center Towers coming down. Nobody got this? No, next week will be too late so if the archivists for ABC, CNN or Reuters are going through old video footage right now, forget it. It won’t fly. It’s all a lie and it’s an Obvious lie given the circumstances of Assad being on the verge of victory. “This cannot stand” say the forces of good in Europe.

Just like the unbelievable stories of gas warfare being reported by the French, again no friend of Russia or Assad, which they attributed exclusively to the Assad regime and yet not proof was ever presented. Surely the accusations of the French, who only hold the best interests of the world in there heart, should be enough to begin more armed conflict in the region. Where is the footage? In an age where everybody is walking around with a God Damned video camera in their shirt pockets, there is no video escaping into the world to document these “atrocities”. And for these accusations, Europe will again look the other way when Turkey is bombing the shit out of the Kurds. But since when have the Kurds gotten anything out of their efforts whether they fight on the side of the U.S. or on the side of Assad. No difference there. 

Any excuse will serve a tyrant and here we are with yet another U.S. with Turkey as our puppet to setup an excuse to reign more warfare upon the people of the Middle East just when things are about to be settled. BUT not settled the way we like it.

Good must triumph over evil. 

And it ultimately will. 

Obama, United Nations Renew Plans for Syrian Intervention

The Setup

First Angela Merkel is trotted out to say she is “Horrified” that there is actually a WAR going on in Syria! She has just now suddenly noticed that people are being killed there. Previously she just wondered why so many Syrians were coming to Germany. Now she seems to have realized why.

Let’s face it, Merkel is under the gun at home right now for her bizarre move to allow Germany to be overrun with unmixable Middle Eastern Visigoths. In part she needs a distraction so now she is shocked, shocked I say, that the fighting in Syria has produced what fighting usually produces: casualties and people on the move.

But is this sudden outrage really just Germany and Turkey acting out of concern for the welfare of the Syrian people?  

For one thing, the rhetoric is just insipid: “No one should excuse or show tolerance toward the Russian air attacks that amount to ethnic massacres….” So said Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.

Who writes this stuff?

If Merkel and Davutoglu were really so concerned about the people of Aleppo not being massacred, they should be calling for the rebel forces there to surrender but wait, we don't hear them doing THAT. It's either surrender or fight to the death. That has usually been the custom, before the television age anyway.

So since when is trying to win a war an Ethnic Massacre? Yes, Syrians are getting killed, it’s fucking Syria! Who else would they be bombing in Aleppo, Bulgarians? Trying to prove that Russia is bombing Syrians because they are Syrian doesn't fly. They are also helping Syrians, apparently the "bad" Syrians, win the war. Turkey on the other hand, is backing the rebels with arms and other supplies. If they stopped doing THAT less people would be killed.

It's getting harder and harder to find a good guy in all this. In the U.S., we love the Good Guys. It's always good guys vs the bad guys. We get upset when we can't find a good guy. 

Now Ms. Merkel blames the Russians for their bombing runs despite the fact they've been doing this for five months. Can it be that her outrage and calls for the siege to be ended is really only due to the Assad forces being on the verge of final victory? This is an ominous sign.

There is no love lost between Turkey and Russia we know plus president Obama and the U.S. State Department will stop at nothing to undermine an Assad victory. It is beginning to look like they will go to their long standing trump card, the United Nations, for yet another attempt at legitimacy via coalition for their interventionist actions. But the United States is too far away and things appear to be too far along for this to actually work. 

The Syrian Civil War has gone badly for president Obama and the United States. 

 http://freedominanunfreeworld.blogspot.com/2015/09/united-states-of-obama-on-wrong-side-of.html

The Billions of dollars in arms that were “walked” into the country by the United States with the blessing and support of Saudi Arabia for ISIL to mount an offensive on the side of the anti-Assad rebels have not been enough to alter the inevitable outcome. In fact, the ISIL forces were so uncontrollably fanatical that they were attacking the rebels too and forcing them to fight on two fronts. Hardly a dependable alliance.

Iran and Hezbollah have also been instrumental in turning the tide for Assad forces to the point now that even the meager amount of ground troops that Saudi Arabia plans to send into the country will not be enough to stop them. Let’s hope the Saudis stick to fighting ISIL like they have stated publicly and do not draw themselves into bigger troubles than they have already.

A freshly funded post-embargo Iran poses a bigger threat than ever to the Saudi effort to take over Syria. Iran is now better positioned to fund a military contingent on a larger scale than they have in Syria now as well as landing an economic blow on the Arab Kingdom by entering the glutted oil market and continuing to drive the price of oil into the ground since 80% of their Gross National Product is based on oil. The Saudis have already been put under a great deal of pressure by the American fracking industry which produces oil at a competitive profit margin compared to what comes from overseas. There is also the added threat that if oil prices should jump, much of the dormant fracking installations could be brought back on-line quickly.  

Enter the UN

So a propaganda war to get a multi-national “peace” force to enter the fray will have to do.

This is why the United Nations has suddenly put forth a “report” that detainees by Assad forces are being “systematically” executed and that Prime Minister Davutoglu says that the rebel stronghold of Aleppo “is de facto under siege” and that “We are on the verge of a new human tragedy.” Perhaps he was referring to the “old” human tragedy of how Turkish soldiers have been killing the Kurds for as long as anyone can remember.

Nope, having the German and Turkish Prime Ministers dance like puppets on a string is just too neatly cued. These moves are a renewed and orchestrated attempt to keep Russia and Assad from final victory by either more direct armed intervention or the threat of an “International” Tribunal for War Crimes.  There are no more people left to arm so that’s out.

Will they try to indict Vladimir Putin? Have they even indicted Bashir Assad? Whatever they come up with you can be sure it will be ineffectual and all for show since the UN has never helped anybody but themselves in the long run and if they try to interfere and extend the war in Syria, even more people will die.

It always happens with the UN. They intervene, prolong the conflict and more people get killed than would have happened if one side actually won the fight. Look at the job they’ve done in Bosnia. They’ve kept that one going since 1995.  

The United Nations should keep to just warning North Korea that they better not shoot off another “Satellite” or NEXT TIME they will be in REAL trouble.  This will be your LAST warning, you hear me?!!

Heaven forbid anyone should actually win a war any more. War isn’t supposed to be fair. It’s intense, brutal, kills people and destroys things. Destruction does not build a people, a nation or an economy. It only lays waste to resources, countrysides and human destiny. 

That’s why we should think before we get involved in armed conflict. It's been all too easy when we remove the human element and the national sacrifice from warfare. If we couldn't do that then we wouldn’t have them but then again, the United States leads the world in war. We are the best since we've had the most practice. 

It's a terrible deal these people have gotten and as an American citizen disconnected from the people who call the shots, I feel powerless in the winds of the political forces at play but there really isn’t too much to choose from in this Lose/Lose game of a Syrian Conflict. 

On one side we have Bashir Assad, a person where no truth will ever describe any longer since he has fallen out of favor with the forces of the United States. Is he a brutal dictator? He’s pretty brutal right now and he certainly hasn't pulled any punches when it comes to keeping control of his country from the many outside influences. And did he really use poison gas? Although it is constantly talked about as a given in the U.S. Propaganda machine that passes for the National Press, it has not been proven. 

http://freedominanunfreeworld.blogspot.com/2013/09/un-indisputably-partisan-in-syria-report.html

It has been reported however that the rebels used gas and that so did ISIL. The truth may lie somewhere in between. Call it the Fog of War.

On the OTHER side of this equation is ISIL.  A group that cannot be governed, a group who it has been proven will send a 12 year old boy into a marketplace filled with civilians with a suicide vest on. A group that has cut off the heads of perhaps thousands of people who don’t worship Allah the way they do. A group that has “martyred” many outside recruits whose only mistake was wanting to join them. A group that has vowed to take over not only the Middle East but Europe and the United States as well. THIS is the group Barak Obama has chosen to back in the overthrow of Assad.

There are bad people in this world and there are WORSE people.

You pick one.

Jeb Bush’s Money is Useless

Talk about all the money in politics and the influence it buys, it  just doesn’t seem to be helping former Florida Republican Governor Jeb Bush in his efforts to reach the White House.

As Bernie, Hillary and the rest of the Political Left rages against the U.S. Supreme Court allowing political campaign contributions by corporations and Political Action Committees (PACs) and raging that Wall Street cash is changing the face of the 2016 Presidential Election, Jeb Bush must be sitting and staring at his television wondering why the hell it hasn’t done him a bit of good.

With a sixth place finish in Iowa with 2.8 percent of the vote, Jeb was left pulling up the rear behind Rand Paul and Ben Carson. Not a good result for the Man Who Would be President.

But what about all that money?

It has been reported that Jeb! has already spent over $31 Million in his own campaign cash and his Political Action Committee, “Right to Rise” has doled out between 90 and 103 Million dollars. 

That's a lot of Cake for 2.8 percent of the vote in Iowa. If you gave money to Jeb Bush's campaign, you might be feeling like you had made a bad investment. And in reality, you did. 

But if Jeb! thinks that’s bad, wait until next Tuesday in New Hampshire.

All that money, the root of all that is wrong in politics if you listen to the political wags, hasn’t gained Jeb Bush the trust of the American people. Quite the opposite, it has been a colossal waste. In contrast, the New Hampshire primary favorite, Donald Trump, has spent less than $20 Million.

Perhaps it isn’t the money then. All the money in the world isn’t going to buy you a vote if people don’t believe you or your message. And Jeb Bush’s message has been disturbing to a majority of American voters. This is a fact borne out by the lack of voter’s interest in his candidacy.

The former Crazed Mayor of New York City , Michael Bloomberg, (he's still Crazed, just no longer Mayor) has been spending money hand over foot to get more anti-gun ownership legislation passed and it hasn’t done him any good either. In this time of random terrorism on soft civilian targets to go along with every day criminal activity, people aren’t inclined to give up their right to own a firearm. Add to that, given his high profile governorship of the nation's largest city, people know Mr. Bloomberg has more money than brains and if he should jump into the race for the 2016 presidency, it will really prove that money isn't everything when it comes to American politics.

So as it stands, people just aren’t interested in the product Jeb Bush is selling, namely himself. They don't like the substance of his ideas and the package of his veneer. They don’t want amnesty for illegal aliens, they really don’t want another big spender, they aren’t interested in more military intervention in the Middle East, they don’t want continued expansion of government and they certainly don’t want to create a political dynasty by sending yet another misguided Bush family member to the White House.

Otherwise they would have voted for him.

Jeb Bush and his group has dished out plenty of cash to get his message across to the American people and the people apparently have heard his message loud and clear and they’ve sent one back to him.

Forget it!
