The Comey Incident

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Former FBI Director James Comey’s opening statement to the Senate Intelligence Committee, not the seven page pre-scripted nonsense leaked to the press the day before, was a self-serving, bitter, exculpatory exercise in whining about losing, a rectification perhaps for his past bad deeds. Besides, he really hates Donald Trump. But, so does the GOP for that matter.

Any further time wasted by Democrats in the vain hope that anything Comey could say to help their radical leftist media driven agenda to destroy Donald Trump, is a futile exercise. They will have to keep searching. The value of Comey’s testimony to the Progressive attacks against President Trump legitimacy only reveals to Americans just how rotten, crooked and subversive the Democrat party and their media cohorts have really become. Comey is one of ‘em!

Comey’s testimony will be consigned to the history books as a footnote in the chapter on sour losers. But unfortunately, heartened by his fellow travelers in corruption, the Democrats, the press and the “Never Trump Republicans,” the attacks on Trumps illegitimacy will go on and on.

Comey’s is a phony. He admitted he was a leaker for which justification were outlined in the convoluted rhetoric he published before his testimony. For him his final fifteen minutes of fame was a catharsis of sorts, marking the realization that his suddenly ended career as protector of the corrupt elites with the power to break other peoples careers while suborning the establishments high crimes and misdemeanors, had finally ended.

Comey admitted he wasn’t a Captain Courageous and was afraid to face down the new President. We knew that when he exculpated Hillary Clinton and passed on her illegal activity.

In a way, Comey was lucky. If Hillary Clinton had cause to fired him for what he did and knows, he could have been either dead by now or promoted to the Supreme Court. “You pay your money, you take your chances,” that’s how the corrupt elites do business. Comey had a choice. If he couldn’t tell the President “No”, then resign! That’s courage. But, when he lies and obfuscate his answers, creates an after action “memo” that he circulates to the NY Times, the purpose of which was to sew more confusion about events, then that’s cowardly if not treasonous. It could get you fired!

The arguable Issues of “he said-he said” discussions, come out of a couple of early meetings between Comey and President Trump where, allegedly, the President asked for loyalty, (a “yes or no” answer would do), help find the leakers in the new administration, announce publicly that the President was not a subject of an FBI investigation, as he said privately three times and maybe, take it easy on Flynn, but not kill the Flynn investigation.

Forget the Russian collusion nonsense. It didn’t happen but, bet on it, the radical media won’t let that one go because they did rifle through the DNC’s emails, didn’t they? Thanks, John Podesta.

The Director of the FBI cannot wear two hats, loyal to the country he works for and against the administration in power. Comey proved that was a myth. It in fact does. They do take sides.

  1. Edgar Hoover, the first FBI Director and basically its founder, wasn’t a political animal, he hated all politicians, collected every scrap of dirt he could find on ‘em and held that information close to his chest until needed. Politicians did what Hoover wanted and Hoover lasted a very long time. Things are going to get nasty around here. We need to have Trump’s back.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (08Jun17)

Facing The Peril

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

We’ve all seen movie scenes of people walking across beds of hot coals or struggling bare footed and naked crossing a cactus covered desert, but nothing, nothing, appears harder to do than run a conservative government with a bunch of useless damn Democrats in the way.

After three election cycles, the American people finally all but reduced the influence of the once powerful, but dangerous socialist Democrat Party to near irrelevance. So, why, why do they still command center stage? Why do they feel compelled to act as if they were still all powerful and influential to America’s future? But, more importantly, why do the Republicans let ‘em?

With endearing spokespersons like Maxine Waters screaming for Trumps impeachment, Nancy Pelosi, garbling answers to questions she doesn’t even know the answers to and Chuckie Schumer claiming how “shocked and disappointed” he was that Trump did this or that, it’s apparent they’re not going to get very far without serious help.

If they had the guts, Republicans could seize the day and actually push the Democrats out the door. Sadly, they don’t seem to have the will to fight or win against anything the Democrats are doing to stop Trump. They just seem to go along to get along with whatever they and the ultra-left wing media scream about every day. It is apparent of course, that Donald Trump is actually threatening a combined, corrupt political machine long entrenched in the American body politic, to the point that he could actually succeed so, he presents a real and present danger to their own futures that must be neutralized, at all costs.

The political discourse for the past several years has always fed into the Democrat agenda, subverted years ago by the social philosophy of Marx & Lenin to reshape the American character from one of personal responsibility and self-reliance to one of total reliance on government. That scheme, decades in the making, was so near fruition that the sudden appearance of a once in a life-time character like Donald Trump, threatening to destroy all of their slow, methodical and incremental preparation, has created their near hysteria, imperiled their future and clouding what’s left of the atmosphere of decency and respect, with a cacophony of noisy threats, accusations, and political attacks against everything Trump does.

For President Trump, the first peril to draining the swamp, while at the same time trying to run a government, rebuild a broken military and repair a shredded foreign policy left over from the previous regime, is the remaining Marxist acolytes not yet purged from government offices, bureau’s and departments, the source of most leaks. Neither can we neglect the forth estate, the ultra-leftist media, now all in to the purging of President Trump instead.

The Democrats are approaching the mid-term congressional elections with the same naive determination of a Christian pastor preaching Christ’s love in a mosque. They need to regain their numbers in both houses of Congress so, they fill the ether with pleas for donations to save the party. Georgia’s 6th Congressional district and Montana’s Senatorial campaigns, are just two cases in point. In both, the Democrat message is always the same, attack the incumbent or the Republican Party. Make President Trump a villain and therefore their support of him, almost criminal, but never, ever, under any circumstances, present an arguable need for America to return to the path of socialism. The fight will be long and hard and not helped by non-cooperating Republicans. Somewhere, there has to be an end to the RINO Republicans like McCain, Graham, Collins & others. It will come but we must be patient. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (18May2017)

What’s Wrong With “Queen” Hillary?

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

What is it with Hillary Rodham Clinton? She just won’t go away. She won’t quit or accept the inevitable, the one clearly decided by the electoral vote, that she lost. She will not be President; she will never be President, but she’ll be a constant pain in the butt until she’s finally jailed.

Remember the scene in the movie Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy throws a bucket of water at the burning broom and it splashes on the Wicked Witch of the East who then promptly proceeds to melt? That’s exactly how I see Hillary right now, in meltdown screaming “Oh, all my lovely wickedness destroyed by a brat.”

I suspect in a few years, colleges and universities that teach psychiatry, will closely study the life that is Hillary Clintons with minute scrutiny as the best textbook example of a psychotic, desperate psychopath, a conditioned narcissistic liar and a dysfunctional sociopath, emotionally crippled by not getting what she wanted the instant she wanted it. To be labeled a ‘Queen,” when one is specifically not, is the starting point for the derision that follows, the “queen,” in Hillary’s case, never realizing the hyperbole of the supposed honor.

New police officers, in their initial training at their police academy’s are taught some of the rudimentary but dangerous aspects of mental derangement to look for as a means of self defense when confronting violators. This is true for simple traffic stops but especially more important when responding to domestic dispute situations. In Hillary’s case, how does a Secret Service protection detail protect the President from his outraged spouse who throws lamps and crockery at him?

If reports from Hillary’s former security details members have any validity, and none have been disputed yet, then Hillary fits the model of one who is to be handled very carefully lest her derangements ends up in uncontrollable tantrums and regrettable violence.

Hillary’s crimes, both as Secretary of State and as a private citizen running for high office are inexcusable and certainly would be to the ordinary citizen like General Petraeus, for example, or any former government employee who did what she did. Over the decades Hillary has created for herself the myth of inevitability. Her will is so great, her turn to be the first woman president was pre-ordained and her right to it is incontestable. These are examples of the derangement syndrome that affects not only her but her many equally deranged followers.

Nut houses are filled with people who believe they are the reincarnation of Genghis Khan, Napoleon or some other swaggering hero of ages past. Some are certain they came to earth as travelers on a space ship and got left behind. Maybe Hillary is one of those.

This woman is an emotional time bomb ready to go off. Her reappearance on the public stage continues her delusion and no amount of counsel will move her from her derangement, the continued belief that she should still be President, and was entitled to it, the Russians not withstanding, is evidence enough. After the November 8 election and its disastrous outcome for the still disbelieving Hillary Clinton, her supposed therapeutic walks in the woods could actually have been hazardous to small animals and children at play, yet she still believes she’s a contender. Ain’t gonna happen sister! She’s a loser, twice, and will get no more chances. Her time is up and the Socialists had better dump her quick and move on. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (7May17)

Democrat Dementia

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

The dysfunction of the Marxist Democrat party continues to reveal itself in all its impotent nastiness, because of Donald Trump. He swept away years of Leftist planning, clever schemes and Common Core education of our nations children through political correctness and multiculturalism, that they were unprepared to believe or accept. From Brexit to Trump, the shock waves have reverberated around the world. Tomorrow, France perhaps?

The political reordering for America’s future had been arranged, the Establishment elites and the favored bureauracy’s that support them, were in place. The world bankers were ready to fund their One World Order scheme by financially reducing America to a third world nation status by filling our borders with the dregs of the over populated, undereducated, war weary third world homeless, helpless, and sick, while keeping us in constant turmoil. Then came Trump.

After nearly 100 day’s of Trumps administration, the shattered establishment, which includes many, many Republicans, are now beginning to reorganize themselves in a singular, united but stealthy effort to impeded any further destruction of their beloved corruption by Trump’s promise to Drain the Swamp. Paul Ryan is implicitly one of them.

Once, there was an ugly rumor that nothing could get done without the House in GOP hands. So we gave them the house. Then, nothing could get done without the Senate in GOP hands too. So, we gave them the Senate. Then, we balked. We were not going to give them their choice of our President because they had not kept their promises on anything so, we picked Donald Trump for them and the political establishment went straight into dysfunctional mode.

A trapped wild animal is very dangerous when it s thrashing around, teeth bared and claws out. The Democrats are like that trapped wild animal except, they have no teeth and no claws because we made a startling discovery. The Democrat party was in fact dying. They have no youthful leadership, they have no depth of organization and they have no ideas except failed Marxism. Consequently they must settle with the likes of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth, (the Indian Princess) Warren and a still sputtering Chuckie Schumer (D-NY) now threatening to shut down government to stop funding of the wall and blame the Republicans to boot!

But he might not be far off the mark. Some corrupt Republicans will indeed help him shut down the government and blame Trump. They all hate Trump, but he doesn’t care. He made promises to drain the swamp, and he going about it, all the screaming and caterwauling not withstanding. So, destruction by stealth, to delay, expose, reveal, has become the implied order of the day.

Trumps enemies are the same ‘elites’ who believe its important for bipartisanship, to “reach across the aisle” to produce effective laws. They’re the same as the ones hidden in the bureaucracies dragging their feet on Trump’s orders to restore effective and fair government. It’s Republicans as well as the Democrats hindering him and, it’s dangerous if not treasonous.

We know the bipartisan days are over. Marxism cannot be negotiated with. The Democrats lost and the Republicans, if they don’t realize it yet, had better get on Trump’s train PDQ or they are going to get the shaft too.  A series of local elections are on going throughout America for congressional seats and conservatives had better stay involved. We haven’t won yet and if we’re not careful, our recent victories could easily be snatched away and we can’t have that, can we? That simply won’t do!  Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (22Apr17)

When Leadership Disappears 

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Yesterday, I expounded upon the problem of leadership, or lack of it, demonstrated by United Airlines. By no means does United stand alone in its failings of leadership. Our ability as a nation to make righteous decisions, or bad ones, comes after decades of progressivism that has denied Americans the right to think for themselves and do what’s right, but do only what feels good and what the rule book allows.

The United Airlines incident reveals exactly the same degree of time warped decision making that allowed the government of Bill Clinton to drag a screaming, fearful little Cuban boy, Julian Gonzales, at gun point, out of the closet of a relatives happy home in Miami, Florida, to be forcibly returned to a despotic communist regime for a proper readjustment of his values. It’s what makes fools like Obama think that by opening doors to that failed communist state, America will be the better for it. It’s why “Rules of Engagement” for our military have been so restricted that the numbers of our killed and maimed soldiers has risen so highly. They can’t attack and kill the enemy lest the enemy should be offended. “War is hell!” but not for them.

What was the point in both United’s forcible removal, and Clinton’s Gonzales cases? It is the same level of leadership that operates in that liberal/progressive/fascist climate of management that ignores the rule of law, abandons the rule of common sense and forsakes the rules of good manners. For United, it could not have been for the bottom line, could it? Was it a power play? No, it was inviolable, pre-ordained policy. What was Bill Clinton’s reason? He blamed Janet Reno. He couldn’t make a righteous on the spot decision. Neither could United. It’s a mind set!

Progressive-Socialists always mean well regardless of the unintended consequences of their actions. As they only intend the best for their customer(s), employees or the general public, they should, naturally, be forgiven. Schedules have to be maintained, crews returned to their home bases, and rules obeyed, that sort of thing. It’s what Progressives do. It’s how they live, work and operate. It’s how they’ve screwed up America. It’s polite evil!

Another example, “Gun free zones!” Only a rabid do good’er could possibly think up such idiotic nonsense. Zero tolerance rules and “gun free zones,” have left the streets of our cities, the floors of our classrooms, and the crowded dance halls of night clubs littered with the dead and bleeding bodies of innocent people because Progressivism demands an environment of “zero tolerance.”  Where does most of America’s gun violence occurred? In Zero Tolerance gun free zones. The whole city of Chicago is a gun free zone and the death count there, by guns alone, is absolutely staggering. Their decision, ban guns not shooters.

For most Americans, the biggest offenders are the bureaucracies’ of the Federal Government, the IRS, EPA, USDA, BLM & etc. who use their own little made up rules as clubs against citizens simply trying to earn a decent living. For example, Obama’s health care rules demanded all citizens, except Congressmen, enroll in his wealth redistribution plan or pay a financial penalty. EPA steals a ranchers inalienable right to use his property because, the EPA say’s, such use could adversely affect a tiny fish a thousand miles down stream. We can all recite similar atrocities from our own experience, United Airlines simply revealed them.

America is under new leadership. Until Trump, there was no evidence of positive leadership at any level, corporate or government, only the rule book. People were afraid to make decisions. The inviolable rules of engagements, the pre-ordained mind-set, has neutered Americans. Screw up and blame the rule book. Beat up somebody and blame the victim. That’s how it is!

Here Comes John (Kasich)…Again

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Not ignoring the continued Islamic attacks against western culture, other items of importance reveal themselves that should be addressed. I’m referring to the continued scheme by pushy Ohio Governor John Kasich, indefatigable champion of global warming, to position himself as the primary challenger to Donald Trump in 2020 and place the elite driven, corrupt American government he so loves (the swamp), into his capable hands. John knows the way! Hummn?

He made the usual perfunctory comment by a nobody, about the most recent Islamic London Bridge attack: “We stand in solidarity with our great ally and send our prayers across the Atlantic, Now more than ever we must strongly keep the trust of our allies.”  The “strongly keep the trust of our allies,” bit was Kasich’s dig at President Trump’s abandoning the silly Paris Peace accord. Specifically, The Ohio Governor said:

”Rather than withdrawing the United States from the climate agreement and relinquishing our historic role of world leadership (Obama already did that,Trump reclaimed it), the Trump Administration should have worked to improve the treaty from within (how?). Continuing, he added: “Let’s be clear. I wasn’t happy with the original agreement, (a sop to conservatives) especially in light of the Obama administration’s failure to work with Republicans in Congress on terms acceptable to both parties.” “But, I know that climate change is real.” (It’s called weather John, and fuzzy thinking like that should kill your campaign right there) “It is a global issue and will need a global agreement to address.” (it’s only an issue to believers in global wealth redistribution). “And we could have (re)negotiated that agreement in ways that would not needlessly destroy jobs” (Clearly, Kasich has bought into the fake news of American job loss when just the opposite is true). “The Trump Administration could have shown leadership by working to improve the agreement”:  (It did! He took us right out of it).

“The largest emitters of greenhouse gases (China & India) could have been asked to commit to concrete, obligatory reductions in emissions”; (they were, and they declined)

“The agreement could have targeted the root cause of global warming greenhouse gas emissions, (from what source, the sun or those hundreds of pesky volcanoes?), instead of an indirect measure such as aggregate global temperature; and….

More thorough analysis of the costs and the benefits could have provided greater assurance that jobs were not unnecessarily being put at risk. (It has been done John, by Conservatives not agenda driven radical marxist numbers crunchers) “A properly negotiated agreement could actually have ended up driving innovation and creating jobs.” (Dealing with EU leftists leaders will never happen. Besides, innovation and creativity are not government jobs).

“By withdrawing from the agreement, the Administration has passed up an opportunity both to expand U.S leadership in clean energy technology and to create well-paid American jobs with a future.” (Green energy policy is not a government function as Obama’s pet project failures proved. If people want it they’ll buy it. If it cannot compete in the market place, without government interference, then it’s not wanted. This is the very essence of Americanism).

America cannot afford a return to Kasich’s idea of Americanism. American’s are not for a One World Government either. We can’t afford it and we don’t need it. It’s unamerican after all.

The Failing Attacks on Trump

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Why the hysterical Democrats, entrenched Republican’s and their propagandists, the MSM, feel it’s important to continue their attacks on Donald Trump is because he’s a danger to their livelihoods. They have assumed Trump, despite his business success, to be a politically illiterate buffoon, evidenced by the class of people who voted him into office. That was an incalculable outrage they never expected, will not accept and will work tirelessly to reverse.

How does an entrenched corrupt political machine save itself when it’s caught in the headlights? By corrupting the very organs that could put them in prison, the DoJ and the FBI. I suspect that Loretta Lynch, former AG, could soon find herself in the dock along side other identified DemPro politicians of the Obama administration, not forgetting Hillary’s crimes as well. Lynch was stupid and got exposed. Clinton was deceitful, greedy and egocentric. She got exposed. The IRS got exposed, the EPA got exposed and yet, nobody is headed for jail!

Then comes the Comey affair. Comey, as FBI Director, was the linchpin of corrupt propriety. “We can’t prosecute her, she had no intent on her part to harm America!” The FBI has spoken and Comey was her savior. His indisputable ten year position as Director of the respected and feared FBI was thought unassailable. Or was it? Democrats trembling in eager anticipation that Comey would find or create, a Trump connection with Russia that would prove Hillary should be President, never materialized. It couldn’t because it didn’t happen. So, continue looking!

Then that sneaky, cunning Trump, the medias presidential buffoon, did the unexpected. He actually did fire James Comey while the Director was in LA. The Democrats screamed, it was a  violation of protocol, bloody murder, “He can’t do that,” the Director was heading up a Trump collusion investigation so, he must have been getting close, all nonsense of course.

Immediately Comey was away on his trip and Trump issued his “pink slip” to the Directors office, the new AG, Jeff Sessions, swarmed the Directors office, seized all his files, lap tops, disks, papers, reports, names and address books, storage units, everything not nailed down and all are now in the hands of the AG, a loyal staff going through them bit by bit. A classic move, but not unexpected. Important to the firing was complete secrecy or Comey, hearing he would be fired, would have removed all incriminating evidence beforehand. It was a White House, DoJ stealth operation with DoJ lawyers and FBI Agents loyal to America eagerly participating.

Former FBI Director Comey, the epitome of the corrupted establishment state composed of Democrats and Republicans alike, embedded deep state federal bureaucracy workers, lobbyists and even, I suspect, some high ranking military officers are all now wondering when the axe will fall as surely it will. Comey was the plug needed to drain the swamp.

Comey’s professional history is a study in favoritism. He was indebted to the Clintons. He owed them his career and did so by providing cover for their crimes. His job was to kill the felony investigation of Hillary Clinton. At the same time, Comey started work on an Obama demand to monitor Donald Trump (illegally) and all persons involved in the Republican campaign to acquire dirt that could be used to hurt Trump later. This included using a fake “dossier” paid for by Clinton’s campaign to create justification for the surveillance and connect Trump’s campaign to Russians skulduggery. It failed, the scheme was exposed, the media went nut’s looking for another excuse to discredit Trump and yet, he still smiles and goes about his business of erasing the Obama legacy. It’s a pity the press hasn’t got it yet. Hate is a powerful drug.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (24May17)

The Future?

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

We have not as yet witnessed a rise of defenestration within the ranks of the distraught, silly Progressives still fuming over Hillary Clinton’s loss to that abominable Donald Trump. We will watch and report. The evidence will mount when the streets and sidewalks of college and universities fill with the lifeless, limp bodies of the lost generation who can’t take it any more, unable to comprehend America’s sharp right turn into Constitutionalism. So be it! That’s in the near future but, whatever happens, it will still be Trumps fault. Except success of course.

Unfortunately, Obama kept our economic disaster ball rolling, in fact he gave it an extra kick so that no matter what he does, can do, will want to do, Trump will be unable to stop the country’s rapid descent into financial chaos. The chickens will come home to roost. They are not Trumps.

Among the current problems facing the GOP, apart from the coming world financial collapse, is the immediate removal of the Progressives biggest tax, Obamacare. The economic future of America demands it. The Democrats are desperate that their Progressive plan for Americas future, that hinged on a single payer health care plan like Britain’s NHS, is in serious danger of going away. Once it does, they will never, in our lifetime, have another shot at the prize.

But, as an act of political warfare the GOP, predictably, formed up their usual circular firing squad and introduced a completely unsatisfactory replacement plan, one encased in the mist of verbal nonsense about America’s health care future. Correctly, they were challenged by the Conservative Freedom Caucus, who insisted Obamacare “repeal” had to be the first act.

This idiocy could have been easily avoided, especially the unfortunate consequences of the media’s scrutiny that always accompanies the GOP’s screw-ups, leaving the field free for the Democrats to enter. The Democrats are almost dead and yet they are allowed to set the narrative. Obviously the House leadership, incapable of shearing away from the money supplied elitism to which they have long been addicted, simply had to reintroduce the GOP’s 2015 bill that Obama vetoed. Trump would have signed it. That’s what he wants, a bill to sign.

Wounded and bleeding as they are, Democrats are still the aggressor and in politics, the aggressors almost always win. Why? Because the GOP sits and waits for the next blow instead of going on the attack themselves. They don’t know how to attack. If Mitch McConnell invokes the “nuclear option,” on the Gorsuch nomination, that is going on the attack! The Democrats are near apoplectic in fear that that’s actually what’s actually going to happen to them. They’ve about shot their last bolt. Chuckie Schumer has no more bolts. His talk is now only bravado.

Politics survive in the murky swamp of fear and hope. Obama was a master at invoking those concepts, invoking fear by scaring those dependent on government while dividing the races. It is no surprise that these disparate elements are having a hard time coming to grips with the divisions of the political winners, the Republican party. It’s a matter of perception, isn’t it?. Trump is not a Republican. He is not a Democrat either, but a businessman who knows the glories of an economically vibrant America. That’s where I want to go but we will never get there if we still cling to the hope that our future lies on dependence on government.

There is no comity now, between Americas political parties. There cannot be if one party remains unAmerican, trying to impose a Marxist society on freedom loving Americans who hate being robbed by government and worse, being told what to do by bureaucrats.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (05Apr17)

The Comey Memo…and other stuff!

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan

For the Left, the current Comey memo constitutes a serious frisson event. The controversy now enveloping the White House is not about investigations, the former FBI Director’s firing, Lt.Gen. Flynn, revealed secrets to Russian diplomats or White House fence jumpers. It is totally and completely another opportunity for the deranged ultra-leftist media to destroy Donald Trump and his administration, and do it fast before he can finish drawing the swamp. Simple as that!

The Donald is like a lightening rod. I have a hunch he does a lot of it on purpose so we can all see how dysfunctional and out of control the media really is. Since 2008, voters have seen how awful the previous administration was and it took three election cycles to remove the new Marxist Party (Democrat), from the game card. Chuckie Schumer, supposed leader of nothing, can’t get to a microphone fast enough to bloviate in somber tones, predicting America’s imminent demise at the hands of the loose cannon, Donald Trump, rolling around recklessly on the deck of the ship of state.

The firing of Director Comey was in-artful, but still everyone could see it coming. Humiliated by the process, Comey, a political creature right from the swamp, will become a weapon of the Left to continue the attack on Donald Trump. Comey’s memo, shared with a NYT reporter via telephone conversation, has not been seen, yet it is considered to be ‘revealed truth’ and as important to exposing Trumps’ inadequacies as finding a lost book of the gospel proving Darwin was right.

Wouldn’t it be fun if President Trump rehired James Comey just to see how fast the Democrats could change positions again? Former Director Comey will never be a model of rectitude. He blew that with the Hillary Clinton investigation. Indeed, it was an obstruction of justice for Comey to present a case for Clinton’s carelessness that revealed state secrets (a crime) to our enemies while declining to recommend prosecution because Clinton lacked intent.

I cannot avoid believing the Directors recommendation to have been part of the secret Lynch/Clinton tarmac meeting. He thought he should step beyond his duty to shield Attorney General Lynch and give her cover for not being forced to prosecute what was Clinton’s clear violation of laws that specifies “intent” is not needed for a crime to have been committed. This especially applies to violations outside penal codes, the laws, rules and regulations pertaining to the proper handling of classified materials. Materials includes documents, manuals, equipment, software, hardware, and anything that pertains to government operations deemed classified.

The whole story will probably not be known, to us anyway, until years have passed. Comey had to know the Clinton fix was in, and his shocking “no reasonable prosecutor” comment really meant “no prosecutor in this DOJ”. But, so long as he had gone this far, a rarity in FBI proceedings, he should have laid out enough evidence to show culpability, and then say, “it is now up to the Attorney General to decide on whether to bring charges or not.”

Comey is a team player for the Left so his true mission was to protect the process, not the results. If he had not, he would’ve been fired then and there and Lynch would have been insulated. As it is, she now becomes one of the dominos, standing in line behind Eric Holder, Lois Lerner, et. al. always fearful of facing prosecution for their misdeeds, unless..Trump can be neutralized and made redundant. Is that too much to ask of a loyal swamp creature? Fall on your sword and give one for the “Gipper?” Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (17May17)

The New Estate

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

I’m coming around to a concept that, because it is so near it can’t really be seen except when some significant event should occur that draws specific attention to itself. That significant event is the continuing dismay over Donald Trump’s election. It is the bizarre fact that the new CPUSA, or whatever one wishes to call it, no longer resides within the bosom of the Democrat Party, i.e.: Schumer, Pelosi and company, but in the colossus that is the floundering main street media, the forth estate so to speak, particularly the cable networks. They have rallied from their shock and are pushing the marxist narrative, the Democrat party be damned.

The raging demands of White House reporters, editorial staffs, commentators, essayists and etc., appear to be in unison, dedicated to destroying Donald Trump or neutralizing any appointment he makes, any E.O. he signs and challenging any statement he offers. They don’t wait for Chuckie Schumer or Nancy Pelosi to pontificate on issues, but force them into making absurd comments, then running with their own commentary anyway. Anderson Cooper and Rachael Madcow are but two good examples, not to mention the awful example of disrespect Lester Holt of ABC showed to the President in his one on one interview.

The Comey firing presents the latest example of media dysfunction. The media expect certain reactions to follow predictable outcomes and when they don’t get them, they manufacture ‘em. All agree Comey usurped the authority of Attorney General, Loretta Lynch in his confirmations of Hillary Clinton’s high crimes and misdemeanors then telling the world she lacked intent, and therefore would not be prosecuted, while at the same time sending other classified document offenders off to prison for lesser, but still serious offenses.

American’s, who voted Trump for President, see no justice here. They see that media corruption is as rampant as the establishments and are perplexed that the media does nothing to help the President press his winning promise to drain the swamp, but actually gets in his way by spreading fake news, lies and innuendos, challenging his every decision, remark and action like he’s an uninformed idiot. The media is the new enemy of constitutionalism since the old Democrat party is but a vague shell of itself, a mere shadow on the wall of political events, ineffective, redundant and obsolete. But, not wanting to appear as anything other than a fair “news source,” the media pretends to be concerned with events, while at the same time they drive them or worse, create them. Republicans are clueless on how to respond.

Sundays cable news shows, starting with Chris Wallace on Fox, and Chuck Todd on his channel, and others, want to appear to be objective in their lines of inquiry but whenever they meet the slightest opposition by a ‘guest’ they are interrogating, they push back with a degree of vehemence we’re unaccustomed to seeing. Interviewers should at all costs be phlegmatic but Wallace has even gotten testy when his assumptions are challenged and worse, when they are denied. His body language in his chair is a dead give-away, reinforced by overrunning the guest speaker with one new question after another leaving the question, not the answer to hang as a truth. It all appears to be an attempt at “gorkking” that satisfies only the interviewer who can then assume viewers agree with him. “Sorry, The matter is settled because time has expired.”

I like Reince Priebus as an interviewee. He doesn’t take any crap off Wallace the several times I’ve seen him and indeed, he’s the only one so far, that makes Wallace squirm in his seat for a better launching position, one supposes, for his next stupid question. It’s from the arena of public concern that changes must come.  Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (12May17)

The Democrat Problem

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Their first problem is that after decades of change, from an American Political Party to a Marxist-Leninists one, they lost their American message, fumbled their election opportunities and have now even lost their ability to promote one. They don’t know who they really are.

If any party wants to be taken seriously in this post Trump, return to Americanism era, they had better field candidates who are worth a damn. The contest for Georgia’s 6th District, the seat vacated by Dr. Tom Price, Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, is an example. Out of no where, the Democrats, desperate to stay in the game, fielded a youthful John Ossoff, a film maker with a short work government history (shamelessly aggrandized), as a congressional aide to Georgia Rep., Hank Johnson, (yes, that Hank Johnson who asked a General Officer at a congressional hearing, if he, the General, wasn’t concerned the Island of Guam would “capsize” with the addition of a US Marine Brigade adding to the weight there?)

Do you remember the expression on the Generals face. Bewilderment! He would have been in his rights to politely excuse himself from the proceedings and quietly leave the room. The media quickly rallied with spin control telling us that’s not what he (Johnson) said (which he did) but meant something else and, after all, he meant well and should be forgiven. Possibly! I could accept that for one who’s highest level of education was to be the sixth grade, but not from a overpaid ignorant politician. Well, he is a Democrat after all!

Ossoff, on the other hand, can’t even vote in the district he wants to represent, but lives ten minutes away with his girl friend of twelve years, while she studies to be a doctor. He was flummoxed by an interviewer who challenged him on his residency then asked, about his girl friend of twelve years, “when are you going to marry her?” The silence was deafening!

Conservatives should attend Democrat rally’s for candidates challenging Conservatives incumbents and ask them, if you can, two questions: Do you, or do you not, support the Constitution of the United States of America? The answer invariably will be “Yes, I do!” The follow up question should then be: “Then why are you running as a Democrat? Then stand back and wait to be assaulted, verbally by the screamers or even physically by the knuckle dragging Neanderthals who often show up at conservative rallies and speeches.

Among other tools available to advance Progressive programs are the “shock troops”, of organized street thugs, i.e.: Black Live Matters, The New Black Panther Party, and even, occasionally, the Flower of Islam, Louis Farrakhan’s pseudo Islamic followers. Don’t forget the invaluable contributions by the snowflake populations that can be rallied from out of nearby colleges and universities. They’ll come for certain if they can earn extra credit in civics.

The Georgia 6th District contest is in limbo until June 20th. Ossoff, the only Democrat candidate didn’t get the 50% plus one vote to win outright as Democrats had hoped, despite spending several millions of dollars, while the Republicans, forming up in their usual circular firing squad, fielded eleven candidates, the top go getter being Karen Handle at 18%. She will win! All total, more Republican votes were cast then Democrat ones, so Junes runoff won’t be easy.

Republicans would do well to focus on the Democrats lack of an American message. They are Socialists and their ideas was tossed out in three successive American elections. So, make ‘em defend their progressivism, Make ‘em fight for it. Make it painful. But make it!

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (19Apr17)

It’s an Invasion, Not Immigration

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

It’s probably about time to understand what constitutes a criminal invasion, how to properly identify foreigners to our shores, when they come here uninvited, and what to do about it before and after they’re here. We already know that the Jihadists motives is to expand the Islamic Caliphate, by the sword if necessary, but, what about the peon class?

The brutal attack and rape of a14 year old girl in her Montgomery County public school by two illegal ‘invaders’ (they are not immigrants), age 17 and 18, assigned to the 9th grade class at Rockville High School because they do not speak English, is yet another ignored example of the assaults on our laws and common sense, ignored by the mediocre media and denied by the Liberals who run city, state and Federal governments and worse, our public schools.

These two migrants were apparently not jihadists, but just a couple of MS-13 gang wannabe’s starting early to build their resumes. Tattoo’s to follow! Judging by the  booking photo’s, it appears they may have only recently learned to peel banana’s with their hands. America has enough of its own home grown knuckle draggers; we do not need to be welcoming more.

The costs of dealing with illegal invaders is becoming unbearable. How would our economy be affected if they all went away? Let’s start with the accepted figure of 20 million. If 3.5 million illegals, in California alone, moved back to Mexico and Central America, Calif. would have an extra $10.2 billion to spend on their now overloaded school systems, shore up bankrupt hospitals and overcrowded prisons. Certainly, our streets would be cleaner, less congested, less deadly and English would again became the dominant language.

If Colorado lost half a million illegals, including their 300,000 children and grandchildren, Colo.  could save an estimated $2 billion, perhaps as much as $7 billion annually in taxpayer costs for schooling, medical services, social-services and incarcerations. Also included would be twelve thousand gang members, saving $20 million in prison costs with a noticeable drop in street crime including drugs, burglaries, assaults, robberies, rapes and homicides.

These figures can be extrapolated to other states but a more important figure is that $80 billion in US dollars, much of it untaxed, would not be sent back to Mexico. Those savings could contributes to reducing our $20 Trillion deficit.400,000 anchor babies cost us $109 billion per year. Nearly 100 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would not have to close by bankruptcy because illegals pay nothing for the services they demand and, by law get, in emergency rooms.

Thousands of illegal TB and hepatitis carriers, brought in under Obama’s ‘no enforcement E.O., have entered unscreened and have been infecting Americans nearly everywhere. If our cities experienced 20 million less people driving, polluting and gridlocking our streets, they would look less trashy, and would be far safer places for Americans to live and raise family’s.

A loss of 20 million illegal invaders would present the ‘progressives a dilemma in a loss to their voter base. But, a restoration of respect for our laws would return. If action is not taken, the current growth rate will increase 20 million more n twenty years. They should be told to go home, fix their own countries and/or make Mexico better. We cannot allow Progressive indifference at our borders, or the lawlessness that comes with it to redefine American laws.

A Quagmire

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

How to kill a mandated wealth transfer scheme, i.e.: theft by government, seems to be a problem for the GOP. Why? The unaffordable no health care tax scheme is probably the one law in legislative history that the GOP can’t be blamed for creating so they can enact more laws to fix it. The ADA hangs out there like a piñata ready to be swatted out of the park.

The problem is unique in its difficult simplicity. Just repeal it and roll out Tom Prices’s plan then start the amending process. The obvious problem here of course, is not the small number of poor who will be left uninsured, that’s an excuse to do nothing but, it is the fact that the elite establishment GOP never expected that their unwanted candidate, the loathed Donald Trump, could possibly become President of the United States. His victory flew in the face of all odds  especially against Hillary’s well financed Clinton Foundation machine, criminal accusations not withstanding. The elites also expected the long conditioned minds of American voters well have accept the inevitable coming of Socialism as a given, and Trump as a clown. Whoa!

Some folks just weren’t paying close attention. If the GOP thought their candidate, even the estimable Ted Cruz, would have stood a chance to win against Hillary, they would have long ere been prepared to launch a replacement health care plan, based on the free market, and have it already in the public domain on January 21st, even in face of the screams of the suddenly toothless democrats. Never has a political party so completely disintegrated in a flash, as has the Democrat party. All they can do now is stand knee deep at the edge of the swamp and throw rocks at the squabbling Republicans and bide their time. Doubtless, John McCain will be standing there with ‘em throwing his rocks too.

It would be a capital mistake, now, to involve the Democrats in seeking bipartisan solutions to anything. They have no intention of ever helping Trump on any issue so, it’s really safe to ignore them and even try to destroy them once and for all before they destroy us, which they will try to do at their next opportunity.

But, back to the GOP. Just when everything seemed to be going well, the GOP’s fumbling, argumentative legislators appear not only inept at legislating, but indecisive and incompetent to boot. The House leadership, Paul Ryan, is reeling in confusion and time is passing too quickly to not seize this opportunity to root out Obamacare and kill it forever. The GOP elites have not accepted the fact that their crony capitalism way of doing business was also rejected and a new leader, Donald Trump, was put in place to show the way for America to get out of the socialist quagmire in which it finds itself firmly stuck.

Trump’s just published budget suggestions (Congress sets the Budget) are a joy to American taxpayers chopping out, as it does, many nonsense programs. His “America First” plan would cut the budgets for the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development by 28 percent. Trump proposes to totally eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Legal Services Corporation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the United States Institute for Peace as well as cease funding UN Climate Change Programs. Mick Mulvaney, Director of the OMB, gleefully laid out the economic direction Trump intends to take America for Taxpayer relief. A lot of peoples bulls will be gored in this exercise but Trumps said he would drain the swamp and we believed him. If you follow the money, into the Swamp is where it all goes. The consequences of failure are too horrible to contemplate. Entitlements are next, they have to be!

“The” Press Conference

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

To many viewers who watched President Trump’s first solo press conference Thursday, an event the main stream media thought would be their great opportunity at last, to challenge him on his every issue, make him fall back in confusion and agree to their version of the truth under the withering assault of their inspired questioning, failed, absolutely. It failed because to Americans the press has become an exercise in indifference to reality. They still don’t get it. The medias priorities are not Trump’s priorities and the people saw how he handled them, and cheered, and were confirmed in the validity of their vote.

The press tried to create a news storm that only ended up only stirring Shakespeare’s ‘storm in a tea cup’ proving Trump was right when he said: “The public doesn’t believe you anymore!”  Even in the evening news the left’s media stars still condemned Trump’s vision as chaotic, idiotic and one creating an atmosphere of government confusion, disarray, inaction and, well basically an imbroglio of amateur incompetence. I thought that was Obama’s hallmark!

Trump calls the MSM the opposition party. Well, who could deny that seeing what was on display? Trump singled out individual reporters, especially CNN’s, and trashed their opinions. He ripped the “failing New York Times” and the Washington Post for publishing information that was leaked from yet unidentified federal officials. Trump swatted the “leaks” question away when he answered: “well, you write about them, what do you know?”

Neither Hillary Clinton nor Obama got away without hits, echoes of his campaign rhetoric:

“Hillary Clinton did a reset, remember, with the stupid plastic button that made us all look like a bunch of jerks?” Trump said. “Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov looked at her like, ‘what the hell is she doing with that cheap plastic button?’

 About Obama’s two failed terms, Trump simply reminded us of Obama’s statements after his inauguration when he said:  “I inherited a mess. Jobs are pouring out of the country, you see what’s going on with all of the companies leaving our country,” low pay, low wages, mass instability overseas no matter where you look — the Middle East, North Korea.”……BHO.

 To the Left, the elephant in the room remains Obamacare and its survival even in the face of its economic collapse as insurers are abandoning it in droves. The media reminded Trump about all the turmoil at Republican Town Hall meetings by people demanding Republicans retain the ADA. Trump brushed that argument away reminding them, and viewers, that the protestors were not Republican people our Representatives are representing (Soro’s hires). End of story.

The Specter of racism raised its ugly head when he was asked if he was “willing to meet with the Black Congressional Caucus.” Trumps disarming answer: “Well I would. I tell you what: Do you want to set up the meeting? Do you want to set up the meeting? Are they friends of yours?“Set up the meeting. Go set up the meeting. I would love to meet with the black caucus. I think it’s great, the Congressional Black Caucus, I think it’s great.”  Trump also said he made overtures to Rep. Elisha Cummings, who was pleased and wanted to meet him, but political light weights like Sen. Schumer, or someone, talked him out of it.

What was the purpose of the press conference in the East Wing? Oh yes, it was to announce his new choice for Secretary of Labor, Alexander Acosta and, Acosta wasn’t even there. Who is manipulating whom? Trump or the MSM?

The Old Tricks Don’t Work Anymore

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Even two months after the 2016 General Election that, to the complete shock of nearly everyone, swept away decades of carefully crafted, cunningly supported and voraciously defended Marxist tenants of socialism forced upon the American people, the Left’s visible meltdown continues. The rejected class are still publicly displaying paroxysms of angst, garment rendering fits of outrage, weeping scenes of regret and remorse, and spasms of volatile hatred, simply because Trump won the election they thought was Hillary’s by divine right.

Hopefully, like in the five stages of human emotion in reaction to immediate threats, it will all end in resignation and acceptance. It won’t of course, but we can still hope. It is because the past four decades of encroaching socialism, propaganda driven education, imposed diversity and destructive multiculturalism based on a philosophy of political correctness, has ossified their little mushy brains into, how does ‘Rush’ put it? “mind numbed robots.”

Their candidate was visibly flawed, representing as she did, all that was failing in our culture, our government and our institutions. Striking out in anger, her over confident acolytes have even managed to reintroduced, albeit, inadvertently, an old term they once used to beat down weak, simpering Republicans: “McCarthyism.” It is now theirs, except “BuzzFeed” is the new moniker.

For all younger people who are unaware of the term, it comes from Joe McCarthy, a US Senator of the 1950’s who claimed the US government was infiltrated with Communists and he “held in his hand a list of names he would soon expose.” The fallout was enormous, unsubstantiated and destructive to the political process and did serious damage to the era of “good feelings” that once was in our politics. Decades later, some of McCarthy’s claims were verified. There were indeed communist plants in our government, and still are. And, while McCarthy couldn’t prove it then, time has proven him substantially correct. But the negative term, “McCarthyism,” was set in concrete. That’s why we’re where we are today. In any event, the damage was done.

This week, Senate confirmation hearings for Trumps cabinet choices began and suddenly, “Buzz Feed,” in the best traditions of McCarthyism, became itself the purveyor of destructive lies and false innuendos. It has proved the era of fake news is indeed, alive and well. Unlike the 1950’s though, Americans are now aware of the old techniques from the Democrats playbook of dirty tricks, and instead of becoming outraged and cynical, are becoming aware and amused.

Buzz Feeds supposedly explosive anti-Trump revelations allegedly came from foreign intelligence sources and passed on to the FBI and CIA. Senator John McCain, personally claimed credit for this, “as any good citizen would.” The report, quickly exposed as fake news, is the best and latest example, since McCarthy himself, of how low Trumps enemies will go to ruin his presidency, including from the the “Never Trump” GOP crowd, before it even begins.

These people are determined to maintain the corrupt status quo of their political sinecures, advance their desire to stay in the swamp of graft and corruption and reap the rewards of being career politicians. Such false claims, the sole purpose of which is to destroy by innuendo and lies, a persons reputation and adversely affect his or her ability to function without censure or approbation. It is deplorable and, if I judge “The Donald” correctly, actionable. In this era of “fake news,” BuzzFeed has reached new lows and has ensured its place as simply another Democrat rumor mill, not to be trusted. It is the new McCarthyism vehicle for leftist haters, if it survives.

Is Schumer For Real?

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

The dysfunctional Democrat Party, still in free fall from their election loss to Donald Trump and seeing a future that no longer includes them…. well, let’s face it, a future no longer controlled by them, will resort to anything to prevent that from happening.

Chuckie Schumer, Senate minority leader, doomed by events to never be the majority leader, always struggling in the shadow of Harry Reid, is doing all he can to disrupt the new Trump administrations choices for high government office. Actually, it’s all he’s got left because his mentor, Harry Reid, made it impossible for Democrats to use the filibuster because good ol’ Harry left them the “nuclear option.”

Presently, the question is who will be the new FBI Director. Schumer pledges to halt the selection unless and until the Asst. Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, appoints a Special Prosecutor to investigate the non-story of the Trump-Russian affair. I might add that he makes no such demand that the DOJ should pursue its investigation against the RICO infested Clinton’s and their scheming, money grubbing Foundation that sold American uranium to Russia. But that doesn’t matter. It’s only important to hound Trump to his ultimate destruction. Ain’t gonna happen baby, because there is no evidence of a crime, will never be evidence of such a crime and will be another waste of taxpayer money. Anyway, there is more than enough to put Hillary and her crony’s away for good.

Schumer and his coterie of slavish anti-Trump followers, have lost control of their cognitive thinking skills. They have ignored the old adage: “never interfere with your enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself,” not that I think Trump is killing himself. Trump is trolling Schumer and the good Senator rises to the bait, chasing shadows while Trump continues to dismantle Obama’s legacy. Schumer believes the polls that tell us Trump’s popularity is going down a rat hole. Well, nobody believes those pollsters anymore. He believed Hillary would be president too, and, by his actions is continuing to show people what the Democrat Party is really made of, the inmates from the asylum. Do we want these people leading us in the future? I don’t think so!

The Leftist media is becoming confusing, especially as they are the drivers of the anti-Trump campaign, independent of the Democrat Party. Dana Perino, Bush era White House spokesperson and now Fox news commentator said, “everyone thinks everyone else should resign.” That about sums it up. Currently the constant vocabulary that hourly flows through our ears if we stay tuned to the political news, and who can’t, is resign, resists, special prosecutor, authoritarian, investigation, collusion, Putin, Russia, Nazi’s, disrupt and delay.

The Democrats are certifiably dysfunctional. They cannot, nor will not accept that Trump was elected and Hillary wasn’t. Trump gets to appoint judges and justices, even conservatives ones, to the Federal bench. The Left can’t accept that. Trump is enforcing the immigration laws, not making new ones. They can’t stand that. He is pro-life and pro Second  Amendment. That’s awful! Trump is in good company as a jack ass, but so are all the rest of them and in the wake of the corruption left by the Clintons and Obama’s destruction of America, there is little Trump could do that could do any worse damage. His goal, and he’s pursuing it, is to make America Great Again while Schumer and company insist in keeping America in the swamp.

Do we really want these dysfunctional, screaming leftists in charge of our government again?
