Trump's First Year...

Trump's 1st year:

Record year for stocks
Tax cuts, including corp. rate, passsed
Record low unemployment for Blacks and Hispanics
GDP growth from private sector highest in a decade
Regulations actually being reduced 22 for every new 1
ISIS kicked out of Syria and Iraq
U.S. embassy moving to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel
Obamacare mandate gone
Freed the internet from gov't mandated "net neutrality"
Record appointments to the federal courts
Neil Gorsuch on the SCOTUS
North Korea and Iran no longer being coddled
Ended Obama's war on business
Passed VA reform
Rebuilding the DOD
Fired Omarosa.  Again.
Ended Obama's war on conservative Americans
No more corruption and politicization in every branch of government
Power being returned to the States and the People
Illegal immigration down significantly
Corruption at FBI and DOJ exposed
Travel ban instituted from un-vet-able countries
Chain and lottery migration about to be ended
Introduced the term "Covfefe"
America is respected once again by our enemies and competitors
Standing up to the jackals at the UN
And much, much, more...

...Including the Left's heads exploding.  Every. Single. Day!

And he did all that while fighting off a concerted coup d'etat by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, the entire Democrat party, the FBI, DOJ, CIA, the pop media, and just about every deep state bureaucrat in the federal government.  So far he has been winning, armed with nothing more than a Twitter account, a Diet Coke habit, and a pair of gold plated cajones. 

And while the goal is to Make America Great Again for the people, in order to do that Trump has had to undo eight years of Obama which was making America weaker, poorer, and less respected around the world.  Here's how that's been going:

Double Standard - Number 20 Trillion



(For some reason the number 20 trillion rings a bell, but never mind...)

Today's double standard has to do with how the politicization of Robert Mueller's team is being dealt with.

In addition to the obvious conflicts of interest like what's been revealed in the Stzrok/Page emails, or the Ohrs connections to Fusion/Steele, or the conspiracy hatched by FBI/DOJ for "insurance" against Trump winning, or Mueller's right hand man attending Hillary's "victory" party,  tens of thousands of dollars were donated to Democrats and Hillary by Mueller's team!  In fact, 100% of the money given to presidential campaigns went to Hillary's.  0% went to Trump.  What are the odds of that happening randomly?  If money talks, what is it saying about this so-called independent investigation?

So what is the response by the Left now that we know Robert Mueller has assembled a team of Hillary supporting / Trump hating Democrats to investigate everything Trump?  Answer:  "Hey, everyone has political opinions, but that doesn't mean they can't do their job!"   

Remember the name Stanley McChrystal?  Barack Obama was famous for never firing anybody, no matter how incompetent as long as they were of the Left, but that didn't apply to General Stanley McChrystal.  He ran Obama's Afghanistan war and got fired when Rolling Stone attributed some negative comments about the administration to him.  Bam!  A stellar military career was cut short overnight for expressing opposing political beliefs.

The Left applauded this action.  Meanwhile, they spent this past weekend warning that any move against Mueller and his politicized team would lead to them taking to the streets.  The hypocrisy is breathtaking. 

In general (no pun intended), all government personnel who are not Leftists are held to a "zero tolerance" standard, while Leftists are held to an "infinite tolerance" standard.

The exemplary General David Patreus was forced to resign as Obama's CIA Director over a minor case of mishandling classified information.  Hillary Clinton, who was scheduled to be the Commander in Chief was given a pass for far worse.  Chelsea Manning and Bowe Bergdahl did incalculable damage to U.S. national security, yet both essentially got wrist slaps.  Michael Flynn, after decades of exemplary military service has had his life destroyed over a fraction of what every single member of the Hillary Clinton team was guilty of in spades.

The list goes on, and on, and on...

Those who oppose totalitarian Leftism are told to just accept the double standards and keep a stiff upper lip.  Move along.  And they wonder how a scrapper like Trump got elected!

What Is Net Neutrality, Really?



[UPDATE]
FCC repeals Obama's net neutrality.  The Left goes apoplectic!      



[2nd UPDATE]

And from the FCC Chairman himself!:  

(NOTE:  The original link went bad most likely due to mischief by snowflakes at a content carrier trolling the FCC Chairman.  Incidentally, conservative content has been blocked continuously and routinely while "net neutrality" rules were in effect.  Prager University and others have lawsuits meandering through the courts as we speak for such actions.  Net neutrality has nothing to do with free speech like this.  Private companies run by leftists have been keeping conservative content from viewers all along, will continue to do so, will continue to be sued, and will lose based on existing public accommodation laws.)

#MeToo = #GetTrump [Bumped & Updated]



As of today, four Democrat Senators have called for the resignation of Donald Trump over sexual allegations.  Is that not rich?  Has the party that made heroes out of murderer Ted Kennedy and rapist Bill Clinton suddenly discovered that character matters?  I wouldn't bet on it.  This is just more hypocritical politics from the party that makes everything, and I do mean everything, political and hypocritical.

It was obvious where this was going from the start, which is why I wrote the following before Al Franken "resigned"...


What's up with this sudden tsunami of sexual allegations? For answers we need to look at what causes tsunamis.  Tsunamis are usually caused by earthquakes, so to understand them we first have to find a seismic event.

Consider how the #MeToo thing got started:  The Weinstein case was the catalyst,  but it wasn't Harvey Weinstein who got the ball rolling, it was The New York Times who broke the story.  Why did the leftist Grey Lady suddenly publish the Weinstein story when they'd been sitting on it for an entire decade?

Similarly, Matt Lauer was another case everyone knew about for over a decade, yet it took leftist Vanity Fair to finally blow the lid off that story in 2017.

If you go back to any one of the now 30 or so prominent outings since the #MeToo movement started, you'll find many of them trace back to traditionally leftist media outlets who all sat on these stories for years.

Why would such stalwarts as The NYT, Vanity Fair, Time, NBC, CBS, CNN, WaPo, MSNBC, ABC, etc. suddenly pirouette and begin publishing sexual assault stories about members of their own power structure?

The answer, and the earthquake, was the election of Donald J Trump.

Much to the left's chagrin, Donald Trump was elected despite his own exposure on sexual predator charges.  It wasn't supposed to happen that way.  Gloria Allred teed-up a handful of female clients who came forward with salacious stories about Donald Trump.  Add to that, NBC thought they had a magic bullet with their Access Hollywood tape.  You remember, the one where Trump said women just let him "grab them by the pussy" because he's famous?  But instead of killing Trump, the bullets just bounced off!

Donald Trump taught the left that they can no longer hypocritically ignore the misdeeds of Clinton, Kennedy, countless others, and their allies in media and entertainment, and then credibly go after Donald Trump on lesser more dubious charges.  They also can't  credibly ask for Roy Moore's head and then allow Conyers, Franken, Menendez, et al to continue serving.

This is why the #MeToo movement is happening now.  After decades of blatant leftist hypocrisy, this tsunami is an attempt to wash away enough sins to "credibly" go after Donald Trump in 2020.

Plan "A" has always been to scream, "Russia, Russia, Russia!", get an independent counsel, and then  use it to impeach Trump.  But if that doesn't work, Plan "B" is to hang Trump on his alleged sexual predator past.  Only time will tell if either strategy works.

Roy Moore and Reasonable Doubt



By now everyone knows the allegations against Roy Moore.  What they may not know is that he, like just about everyone in public life,  is more than what the media is telling you.  While I have no personal experiences with Roy Moore, it turns out a friend of mine does.  Bill Staehle served with Roy Moore in Vietnam and wrote the following letter (he also masterfully introduced him last night at his rally in Alabama - see below). 

Bill is as solid a guy as you've ever seen.  So while I am as concerned as anyone by the allegations against Roy Moore, I have the utmost confidence in Bill's credibility and judgement.
  
(Here's the link to the original letter in YellowHammer News)  
I served with Roy Moore in Vietnam in 1971-72, where I knew him to be an altogether honorable, decent, respectable, and patriotic commander and soldier. I have had no contact with him since. 
He and I were captains and company commanders in the 504th Military Police Battalion, stationed at the base camp called Camp Land, just west of Danang. 
I knew him well in my first four months in-country before I was re-assigned within the battalion to another location. During that time, I grew to admire him. 
I am Bill Staehle, residing in Asbury Park, New Jersey. I am an attorney, practicing law continuously for 42-years. I began my career as an assistant United States attorney, and for the past 32 years, I have been the managing trial lawyer for the staff counsel office of a major insurance company. 
Allow me to relate to you one experience involving Roy that impressed me. 
While in Vietnam, there came a time when another officer invited Roy and me to go with him into town after duty hours for a couple of beers. That officer had just returned from an assignment in Quang Tri Province north of Danang, and we were interested to learn of his experiences. 
I had not met him before, and I don’t believe Roy had either. On other occasions with other officers, we would go to the officers’ club at the air force base, but on this occasion, he told us he knew of another place in town. 
When we arrived at the place and went inside, it was clear to Roy and me that he had taken us to a brothel. That officer appeared to know people there, as he was greeted by one or two young women in provocative attire. 
The place was plush. There were other American servicemen there. Alcohol was being served. There were plenty of very attractive young women clearly eager for an intimate time. 
In less time than it took any of the women to approach us, Roy turned to me and said words to this effect, “We shouldn’t be here. I am leaving.” 
We told the officer who had brought us that we wanted to leave. He told us to take his jeep and that he could get a ride back later, which he did. Roy and I drove back to camp together. 
That evening, if I didn’t know it before, I knew then that with Roy Moore I was in the company of a man of great self-control, discipline, honor, and integrity. While there were other actions by Roy that reinforced my belief in him, that was the most telling. 
I reject what are obvious, politically motivated allegations against Roy of inappropriate dating behavior. What I saw, felt and knew about him in Vietnam stands in stark contrast to those allegations. 
I sincerely doubt that Roy’s character had changed fundamentally and dramatically in a few short years later. He deserves, in my view, to be heard on the issues that are important to the people of Alabama and our country. 
Roy was a soldier for whom I was willing to put my life on the line in Vietnam if the occasion ever arose. Fortunately, it did not. 
I was prepared to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him then, and I am proud to stand by Roy now.
— William E. Staehle, Asbury Park, New Jersey



Obviously, Bill is not in a position to judge Roy Moore's entire life. All he knows is what he saw of Roy Moore for a brief time in Vietnam. And what he saw appeared to be a man of character in a setting known to test character.
Alabama voters should know this side of the man as they prepare to judge him at the polls.
[UPDATE]  Here's Bill introducing Roy Moore last night:

Is This Black Woman Crazy?

First of all, she's a woman!  Second of all, she's black!  How can she say these things?



(Maybe she's seen this, or this, or this, or this?  Just sayin'.. ;-)

#MeToo = #GetTrump



Time magazine has named the #MeToo phenomenon as it's "Person of the Year".  What's up with this sudden tsunami?
