In some of my past blogs, I have tried to give Republicans facts, I’ve tried to shame them by calling them stupid, I’ve made fun of them, and I tried to shine light on their God Donald Trump. Are you interested only in money? Why do you tolerate Nazi’s, KKK, and white supremacists in your party? And there is complete disregard of facts and truth, the complete acceptance of conspiracy theories and lies. Are you really so hateful, or are you really just clueless. Here is a video that shows how you change reality to fit your view.

Ask yourself these questions:

  1. If the DEEP STATE and the Democrats were powerful enough to steal the 2020 Presidential election causing Donald Trump to lose, why did he win in 2016? The DEEP STATE and Democrats didn’t want him then either, so that should prove that’s just how people VOTED.
  2. Why do you still believe the lie that Trump won the 2020 election? No one has produced significant evidence of voter fraud, and Trump went to 60 courts to plead his case and could not produce any evidence of voter fraud. Trump either lost those cases or the cases were dismissed for lack of evidence. The courts is how we settle disputes in America, but that’s not good enough for you now. So the DEEP STATE with Republican judges are against Trump too?
  3. After the lie about voter fraud, why do you believe anything that Trump says. Here is Trump and his comments on the 5th Amendment. He is against the 5th Amendment. Now he’s for the 5th Amendment now that he is in legal trouble. Trump’s Liar Palooza. Please click on all 3 of these videos.
  4. Before Trump became President, here are somethings that were public records: Trump had 6 bankruptcies, his airline company, his water company, his clothing company, and his casino businesses FAILED!!!! So why did you still think he was a great businessman?
  5. Here are a few comments from some of my Republican friends before Trump was elected: Anybody but Hillary, Trump will become Presidential, He says what’s on his mind, He speaks to the common man. Did any of those things work out? Hillary now looks good in comparison, President Trump threw paper towels to the people in Puerta Rico after a devastating hurricane, he said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and wouldn’t lose any votes (who says stuff like that? it’s insane. He said he was joking and the crowd laughed, but he didn’t laugh. Would you really vote for a MURDERER?), he spoke to the common man, and those common men broke into the United States Capital in Washington, D.C., damaged offices, stole artifacts, defecated inside, sought to kidnap members of Congress, and shouted to hang Vice President Mike Pence. Trumps rhetoric has divided this country to near Civil War. Ok you gun loving nut bags, admit it, if someone was breaking into and entering your house, would you shoot them? Of course you would. So was it a peaceful protest or an insurrection? After watching this video, How can you say it was a peaceful protest. People were horribly injured, and some were killed that day. There is nothing peaceful about violent death. All of this is a result of the vicious words, blatant lies, and dereliction of duty by President Trump. He should have addressed the mob immediately to urge them to stop the violence and go home. Once they left the Capital, he should have denounced their actions and said something to heal the nation.
  6. Why do Republicans seem to settle disputes with violence? Since they never offer solutions to the problems they blame Democrats for, violence is their preferred method for change. Yes you have doctors, lawyers, teachers, scientist, and mathematicians, and a host of other very smart people, but what you lack is common sense. Just review my first video link. Stop making up conspiracy theories when your understanding of the truth doesn’t make sense to you, or you don’t accept the truth.

My Blog is called Voice of Reason because I present simple facts and video that clearly demonstrate the truth. It’s not what I believe, it’s the truth. When you look at the insurrection video, the majority of the people are white, there are confederate flags, Nazi’s, white supremacist, and just regular good old boys. If you think and act like those people, you should be ashamed of yourself. You don’t love your country, your neighbor, or yourself. My take on it is white people are crazy. If you consider yourself Christian, you have got to know you are probably going to hell unless you change the way you think, because Jesus talked about love your neighbor, help the needy and poor, and the love of money is the root of all evil, he that is without guilt cast the first stone. If you participated in the insurrection or you think the insurrection was justified, you were not in line with Jesus’s teachings.

All I’m really asking you to do is, instead of automatically rejecting things you don’t agree with, do your own research. Google is still and excellent source for facts and yes, so are the .gov sites. I know you don’t trust the government, so why did you trust Donald Trump (click the liar palooza video above). Here are a few more facts about the Trump President’s term: He didn’t build the wall, Mexico didn’t pay for it, there was a trillion dollar deficit and Trump cut taxes and the deficit grew to 6 trillion dollars at the end of his 4 years. Obama’s deficit was 6 trillion dollars at the end of 8 years, Trump had Russians in the oval office without an English interpreter, He believed Putin instead of his own intelligence agencies, he admitted to favoring red states over blue states, and his rhetoric pitted different groups of Americans against each other, got no infrastructure bill, didn’t stop the drug crisis, and didn’t do anything about mass shootings. I could go on, but I think you may finally get the picture. With all that has happened since Trump became President, He said “I alone can fix it”, very little of anything that he promised was done. He was truly a man of all talk and no action. How is that possible for a man that knows more about everything. So you may ask, what is the Republicans plan to lower the deficit, they either offer no plan, or they want to cut budgets that help the elderly and the poor. Really, you’re willing to ride with those guys? Oh yeah, one final thing, some of you refused to vote for Hillary or Trump, for those of you who could have held their nose and voted for Hillary, she would have become President. That’s the only statement I can’t prove.

We live in a great country where we have a Constitution to help guide us on the right way to govern securely and peacefully. The 1st, 2nd,13th,15th, and 19th Amendments are rock star clauses in the Constitution. Despite that excellent guidance, Americans seem to have lost their common sense and appear to do whatever they want. They completely ignore facts and believe what they are told on social media and the lies politicians are telling them. The biggest liar of course is Donald Trump. Trump lost the 2020 Presidential Election and he objected to the results by saying he won that election with more votes, and the reason he lost was voter fraud. Trump did the right thing by litigating his position. After all, courts are the most trusted way to settle disputes. All that is required is proof of evidence supporting Trump’s position. Trump’s arguments were dismissed in about 60 lower courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. Most were dismissed because Trump’s legal team could not produce any evidence to support his position. There were at least 8 Trump-appointed Judges that made the decision to dismiss Trump’s argument. In addition to the court decisions, former Attorney General Bill Barr, The Cyber Security Chief, Republican Election Commissioners in disputed states like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, FOX News, and other news reporting agencies all agree that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Still, Trump insists that he won that election and lost because there was voter fraud. Trump simply could not present a shred of evidence to support his position. HE HAS NO PROOF! Instead, he instigated a riot in the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. A Congressional hearing is revealing proof of Trump’s orchestration of that riot. Notice that most of the above sources are prominent Republicans that were initially strong Trump supporters. Over time, they realized that Trump would never become more Presidential and he is indeed dangerous for America.

If Trump is lying about the Presidential election, what else has he lied to you about? Common sense says you can’t trust a liar. Since Republican Legislators go along with Trump, you can’t trust them either. After all, Republicans don’t denounce the KKK, Nazi’s, or white supremacists. They should be kicked out of the Republican party, and let them start their own Political Party. Do you really want to be a member of a Party that tolerates that kind of people. Republican rallies are lily white and Democrat rallies have racial diversity. America is racially diverse and that diversity is what makes this country great.

All Politicians lie, but Republicans told the biggest lie with absolutely no proof and nearly destroyed Democracy in America. They also put children in cages, shut down the Government, downgraded the U.S. credit rating, removed a woman’s right to choose her right to manage her health care (Roe v Wade), legislated who you can love (anti-LGBTQ legislation), and ignore regulations to help control climate change. Another Republican flaw is that because they don’t believe available facts, they invent conspiracy theories. Just remember, theories by definition, have not been proven. Finally, because Republicans downplayed how serious COVID Virus was by delaying vaccine development, promoting the use of worthless vaccine treatments, and discouraged mask usage, over a million people have died in the United States. Our country’s short-term memory, or habitually voting along party lines, cannot be an excuse to vote for a Party with the above things as part of their legacy. Sometimes I feel that people who can vote for such a party are evil. They may not be evil, but they are certainly willfully stupid.

The following are links to a couple of my previous blogs that give additional facts, video, and commentary. Please click all the associated links:

We need to give the Republican Party a chance to regroup. They can become a viable party without the baggage eventually. The 2022 midterm election just isn’t the time. Consider voting for Democrats or Independents. But no matter how you vote, remember the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States is the standard by which we are best governed. Representative Liz Cheney, the cochairman of the January 6 Hearings, summarized the Hearing findings and how important Democracy is. Deviation from that guideline will destroy our Democracy. So may God continue to bless you and the United States of America.

We all know that being a Police Officer is a dangerous job. However, people applying for that job also know how dangerous it is. But when using lethal force, excuses like I was afraid for my life, I thought it was a Taser, he was resisting arrest, and he was fleeing the scene, do not call for the death penalty. Also, passing a counterfeit $20 bill, stealing a pack of cigarettes, having an air freshener hanging from your rearview mirror, and not taking an extra second or two to clearly identify a lethal weapon before killing the suspect, is also an unnecessary use of lethal force. These situations are more indicative of inadequate job screening, failed psychological testing, inadequate job training, poor judgment, racism, and cowardice. Prospective applicants to any police department that rely on these excuses should be weeded out from the application process and never allowed to be police officers. You can’t have nervous or trigger-happy police officers in control of lethal weapons.

OF COURSE POLICE OFFICERS ARE KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

GUN-RELATED DEATHS

The Memorial Fund’s report says gun-related deaths claimed the lives of 48 officers last year, a 6% decline compared to 51 officers killed in gun-related incidents in 2019.

Of the 48 officer gun-related deaths, 11 fatalities involved an officer investigating a suspicious person or activity, seven officers were killed responding to domestic disturbance calls, six deaths each involved officers attempting an arrest and an ambush on the officers, three deaths were tactical situations, and three others were in response to domestic disturbance calls.

Four officers died responding to a robbery or burglary in-progress call while three officers were killed during traffic stops. Two officers were killed last year while serving warrants, two others were killed by inadvertent gunfire and one police officer was killed by firearms while responding to a mental health call.

RACIAL DISPARITY IN POLICE SHOOTINGS

Compare those 48 police officers killed in 2020 to 457 White suspects killed and 241 Black suspects killed by police. Whites represent over 60% of the population and Blacks represent only 14% of the population. With only 14% of the population, Blacks killed represent about 50% as much as Whites killed. This fact clearly shows there is a problem with how police assess threat and administer lethal force. They either are afraid of Blacks, they are racist, or they simply don’t know how to properly do their job. These numbers are ironic considering the number of White people who love their guns, commit heinous crimes like murder, serial killing, mass killings, are members of right wing military groups, and overran the United States Capital on January 6, 2021. Republican voters and legislators have downplayed the absolute fact that White people tried to overthrow the government. They made all sorts of excuses that these were not Trump voters, they were Antifa and other left-wingers pretending to be Trump voters. The bottom line however is, those folks were White. The following are graphs and websites that illustrate how lethal and dangerous white people are.

SERIAL KILLERS BY RACE

MASS KILLERS BY RACE

Here, for instance, is the data based on the Mother Jones database of 121 mass shootings from 1982 to 2021 

Race% of mass shooters% of population
Asian6.6%3.6%
Black17.4%12.3%
Hispanic8.3%12.5%
Native American2.5%1.0%
White Non-Hispanic54.5%62.6%
Other4.1%7.9%
Unspecified/Unclear6.6%

FBI STATISTICS ON MURDER

As you can see by the above graphs and websites, White people in the US are very lethal and dangerous. According to the FBI murder statistics, Whites kill Whites, Blacks kill Blacks, Hispanics kill Hispanics, etc. As far as any White person is concerned, you should be more concerned and afraid of someone in your own race, than someone in any other race. And that’s where Law Enforcement should focus, on the most dangerous threat in the US, White people. Police Officers and White people in general don’t see the inherent threat and dangers of the White race. Senator Ron Johnson sums this point up. Black Lives Matter protestors went to the Capital and were met by military force. Protestors at the US Capital on January 6, 2021 were met by a skeleton crew of Capital Police. I guess Senator Johnson finally saw that White people can be very dangerous and lethal.

Now that we know the numbers, what can we do to make things better for everyone. First we have to get rid of the idea of defunding the police and abolishing the police. Those are truly crazy far left ideas. The next thing we need to do is thorough background checks of police applicants, thorough psychological profiles, rule out applicants that are hard up for money, and if possible focus on applicants with prior community service or educational service. Finally, once hired, the applicant should receive intense training with a focus on the use of lethal weapons, and have regularly scheduled re-qualifying and retraining at least 2 times a year. This training should also include some type of racial sensitivity training at least once a year. The overall initial training should last somewhere between 6 to 12 months before the officer is placed on the street. That is still far less time training than in other professions.

Regarding the use of lethal force, there should be a national federal standard. In non-violent crimes, no lethal force should be used unless a lethal weapon is clearly identified, and that weapon is not surrendered when ordered to do so. If there clearly is no weapon, and the officer feels like he cannot handle the situation, he should call for backup. In the case of the suspect trying to flee, the use of the Taser should be approved. If the suspect is handcuffed and subdued, and lethal force is used after the suspect is subdued, those officers should be charged with manslaughter or murder. Excuses like I was afraid for my life, I thought it was a Taser, he was running from the scene, are all invalid reasons for using lethal force or avoiding the manslaughter or murder charge. Of course, more agencies and individuals will have to agree on the specifics of a national lethal weapon standard, but it should be no more complicated than what I have outlined here.

These simple changes should help protect all Americans of every race from the unnecessary use of lethal force. It’s time the police were held accountable for racism, laziness, inactivity, uncontrollable nervousness, being trigger happy, poor training, and poor judgment. Let me make this perfectly clear. I believe the overwhelming majority of police officers are decent, hard-working, caring, honest, and are good at their job. We all know however, that police officers are a tightknit group that protect their own, good or bad. It’s time to flip the script and get the bad seed out of the police department and let the good thrive.

Donald Trump became President of the United States for 2 reasons. First, he had star power because of his show The Apprentice. People that watched that show perceived him as extremely wealthy and thought he could likely manage money well. The second reason was because there was gridlock during the 8 years of Obama’s administration. Most of the gridlock was initiated by the Republicans. Instead of turning to the Democrats, the people were so frustrated, they wanted somebody who was not a politician and who knew something about money, to become President. Trump had both of those boxes checked. Hillary Clinton didn’t stand a chance. Despite having those 2 boxes checked, Trump had no political experience but he was an excellent liar and con man. He used those two highly developed skills to tell the people what they wanted to hear, and they believed him. But, having no experience made absolutely no sense. Would you want your auto mechanic, your doctor, your contractor, your airline pilot to work for you or on you, knowing they have no experience. Of course not!!!!! Trump was the only President with absolutely no political experience, unless you count George Washington. At least he commanded armies for years.

Donald Trump had 4 years to become more Presidential. That’s what Republican voters and legislators expected would happen. Trump could not be Presidential if he called  women “horse face”, he had sex with a porn star and paid her not to tell anyone when he ran for President, he thinks some Nazi’s and KKK are “good people”, he publicly used profanity, he said “I could shoot someone on 5th avenue and people would still vote for me”, he encouraged his supporters at his rallies to attack peaceful protestors and he would pay their legal fees, he disrespected the Military by saying Senator John McCain, a POW, was not a hero because he was caught, and he ripped children away from their mothers at the southern border. These are some of Trump’s greatest hits. There are many others too numerous to mention here, but the worst is the treasonous statement he made in Helsinki while standing next to President Putin. He said he believed Putin instead of American Intelligence Agencies regarding Russian meddling in our 2016 elections. Trump resisted placing sanctions on the Russians until political pressure was applied. That’s TREASON!!!! VERY UNPRESIDENTIAL. Republican legislators have done nothing about overt treason, and that makes them traitors too. If you vote for Republicans, you are supporting a traitorous administration. You would think that treason is the worst, but he did worse on January 6, 2021. Donald Trump incited a riot to overturn an election. He initially went through all the proper channels claiming voter fraud. The lower courts, the Attorney General, the U.S. Cyber Security Department, many Republican run election commissions, and finally the Supreme Court determined there was no election fraud. Even after all that, Trump still stated that he won the majority of the votes. He then pointed his supporters, like a missile, to the US Capital on January 6, where they vandalized and desecrated it. They killed a Capital police officer and tried to capture or kill legislators. Treason and inciting a riot are very bad, but his impotent response to Covid–19 led to the deaths of over 500,000 Americans. Yes, Trump is a murderer.

Trump gets credit for things he had nothing to do with. He took credit for Obama’s great economy. He takes credit for appointing Supreme Court Justices that Mitch McConnell arranged by preventing Obama from naming a Justice during his last year as President, and rushing the Cavenaugh nomination. Despite having Republican majorities in the House and the Senate (They didn’t need a single Democrat vote), Trump’s day 1 promise to repeal and replace Obama Care and building a wall on the Southern border did not get done. Republicans thought taking children from their mothers was a great way to slow illegal immigration. Under Trump they removed regulations that protect the environment, offer consumer protections, reduce the chance of nuclear war, and prevent bank and corporations from getting us into another Recession. Republicans added laws that makes voting harder and downgraded the voting rights act in the Supreme Court. They blatantly ignored the rule of law and allowed Trump to do anything he wished.

During the Obama administration, Republicans started the chaos and gridlock in Washington by going on record to do everything possible to make Obama a one term President, shut down the government twice, and refused to raise the debt ceiling causing U.S. credit to be downgraded. They tried to use extortion to get Obama to repeal Obamacare or they would shut down the government. They wanted to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social security. Bottom line, Republicans have never cared about the working man. They are a one trick pony. Cut taxes for the the wealthy and corporations, give them tax breaks, and the money will trickle down to the people that need it. That policy has never worked and never will work, because that just becomes more money for them to keep.

Can you see a pattern here? Republicans don’t know how to govern, and now after 4 years, the American people said enough is enough. But wait, Trump, the Republicans on Capitol Hill, and 74 million Republican voters, don’t believe in majority rule as promised in the Constitution. Instead, it’s easier for them to believe that the approximately 5 million votes that gave Joe Biden the majority was voter fraud. They chose to believe 1 man, Donald Trump, the biggest liar on this planet. Even after Republican Governors, Election Commissioners, Senators, and Congressmen have accepted the results, and not a single major court case  made it past even the Conservative Judges appointed by Trump.  Trump Lawyers simply couldn’t produce any significant proof of fraud. 

There may become a time when Republicans may be trustworthy again, but Donald Trump should never again be allowed anywhere near our seat of government. His Legacy will forever be that he murdered 100s of thousands of Americans.

May our Constitution, our Democracy, and the Rule of Law guide our political leaders. God be with us all, and God bless the United States of America.

News has evolved from word of mouth, to newspapers, to Radio, to TV, the internet and social media. Somewhere along the way, we have been conditioned to not believe any of these sources. The term “Fake News” is relatively new and was hijacked then adulterated by Donald Trump. It was initially used to identify obviously false information. It was not designed to cast doubt on all news. The only way to dismiss all sources of news is to be present yourself at every event world wide and that of course is impossible. So at some level, you have to believe some of the news you are exposed to. Just proceed cautiously and trust but verify. Instead we are asked to believe the word of President Trump, a pathological liar, and Fox News only. This Blog will focus only on TV News for now. Here are some names in TV news that were trusted giants in their industry: Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw. Some of you are too young to remember these men, but you have to understand there are still some news broadcasters that maintain their integrity. Of course, occasional errors are made in TV news reporting, but a fair and balanced News agency will make the necessary corrections as soon as possible.

Watch more than one news source then compare each. Usually if they all agree, the story is probably reliable. If one source disagrees with the majority, the majority is usually right. Just don’t forget to trust but verify. That’s where facts come in. Federal websites and State websites are usually a reliable source of information and facts. Remember, people are entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. Armed with facts, you don’t have to guess if a story is true or fake. Treat News like the Constitution treats indicted criminals, innocent until proven guilty. Believing that all news is fake just proves you are lazy, narrow minded, and have a simple mind. America you have plenty of brain cells. Don’t waste them.

President Trump has been downplaying the severity of the COVID-19 virus for months. He was even mocking Joe Biden for wearing a mask even though the experts stated that the simple act of wearing a mask could reduce the chance of getting the virus. The bottom line is, President Trump could have probably avoided his exposure. I do hope he does not get seriously ill, but he does have significant risk factors regarding age and being over weight.

This one event sums up who President Trump is and how his reelection is truly a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER for the United States and the Constitution. Trump is simply a con artist, liar, and an unempathetic self serving ego maniac who suffers from delusions of grandeur. During the first debate, Trump was clearly out of control. He was like a rabid dog, attacking Joe Biden and Chris Wallace, the moderator of the debate. Between his debate performance and him being positive for Covid-19, you simply can’t trust anything he says and now you know he can wildly lose control of his emotions. Chris Wallace had to constantly remind him to allow him to ask his questions and allow Joe Biden to answer his questions without interruptions. Imagine Trump going into a blind rage during a nuclear crisis. If he can do that on a debate stage, he can certainly do that on the world stage.

The question is, did you listen to Trump or the science and medical experts regarding the virus. Trump said the virus was not a big deal, but the experts said take simple precautions like wear a mask. So who did you listen to? Now ask yourself, do you have family or friends who got sick or died? If you listened to Trump, you backed the wrong horse and the chickens have come home to roost. This sums up the Trump Presidency. I hope these recent events will guide you to make the best decision you can possibly make in the voting booth. God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

Preview(opens in a new tab)

Trump is a compulsive, habitual, and pathological liar. He can’t help himself. Lying is like breathing for him. The problem is, his dedicated followers simply don’t care. Those same followers give him a pass on all of the many things he says and does that are just anti-American, antisocial, anti-intuitive, and sometimes just vindictive. Of course he can fire anyone in his administration that disagrees with him, but to fire a twin brother or deny a pension one month before retirement to an FBI Agent is just hateful.

Here are just a few other things you know are Unconstitutional or just plain wrong:

  • Taking Putin’s word over U.S. Intelligence Agencies
  • Trump removed peaceful protestors
  • All news is fake news. Really? We are supposed to believe a pathological liar instead?
  • His policy led to children in cages
  • Trump states that he knows more than his Generals
  • Trump ignores the advice of medical experts and doctors and does not initiate a national effort to control the spread of the COVID-19 Virus. As a result, over 200,000 have died. Yes he initiated a Chinese and EU travel ban which saved lives, but every life lost after that is from his downplaying of the severity of the COVID-19 virus and the use of mask. To this day he is attracting super spreader crowds. He made no attempt to hide the fact that the economy was more important than human life.
  • The Constitution gives Congress oversite over the Executive branch of government. Trump ignored subpoenas, failed to appear, and encouraged his staff to do the same. This shows that the Constitution and the rule of law means nothing to him. By the way, his taxes are still being audited. Yeah, riiiiiiiight!!!!
  • The Kurds helped the U.S. fight Isis, but he withdrew military cover allowing them to be at the mercy of Syria.
  • Trump is quick to point out that the social unrest about Black lives matter has resulted in riots, looting, and several police shootings that are happening in mostly blue states. He spends very little time talking about the unarmed citizens killed and maimed by the police which started the social unrest in most of those places in the first place. By the way, most of the COVID-19 hot spots are in red states and far more people are getting sick and dying than in the blue state “RIOTS”. Trump doesn’t mention that.
  • During the social, economic, and medical crisis, previous Presidents try to calm the country and pull us together. Not Trump. He is hellbent on tossing grenades and pouring gasoline on the fires. Trump is a coward, he never admits he is wrong, wants you to believe he is the smartest man alive, he never accepts responsibility for anything, and he always blames someone else for everything that goes wrong on his watch.

You Trump supporters always say things like Trump misspoke, that’s not what he meant, he was just joking. Even Trump said “I never kid.” So how many times are you going to give him a pass? Aren’t you tired of trying to explain his actions? It must be exhausting to cover for him everyday. At some point you have to come to the realization that Trump is mentally unstable and he is ripping the fabric of Democracy apart. He is not fit to continue as President of these great United States. With any one of the above items, he should be disqualified to be President and dog catcher too. When you look at all of them together, you wouldn’t want someone like that living next to you, so why would you want him as President?

When you seriously think about Trumps words and actions, don’t think of them as character flaws, see them for what they are. They are a simple choice of right verses wrong, lawful verses unlawful, and Constitutional verses Unconstitutional. You should let your heart guide you regarding right verses wrong, but lawful and Constitutional you can actually look up. Some of you need to stop accepting everything that Trump says as fact and start looking things up. You’ll be amazed when you are exposed to facts. Happy reading.

For years, Republicans have been telling Americans that they are the party of fiscal responsibility. They’ve been promoting Trickle Down economics, by catering to corporate America, keeping the deficit low,  and tax cuts for Americans. During that same time, they have been trying to limit government programs that help people with food, healthcare, increased wages, and educational cost. Their approach is working for the rich. Corporate profits are high as are the salaries of corporate executives. Rich individuals are happy with Trumps tax bill. Trump even said, “Congratulations, you all just go a lot richer“. The only problem is, none of that money Trickled Down. The middle class and poor did not see a significant increase in wages, jobs, or healthcare. They never have and never will with Republicans in control of the economy. The following graphs expose the Republican perennial lies.

HERE ARE THE NUMBERS

The Numbers simply don’t lie. They clearly show that Republicans handle the economy much worse than Democrats. When comparing almost all metrics, they lose to Democrats almost every time. Republicans are making it difficult to get a decent wage, a decent job, try to deny you social services that provide food, child services, and healthcare, and keep trying to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. As you can see by the numbers, they preside over deficits and recessions more often than Democrats. The stock market doesn’t do as well under Republicans. So if Republicans have a bad record on the economy, bad on jobs and unemployment, and bad on social issues, why would you vote Republican? What have the Republicans done for you, ever? Better yet, what have the policies of President Trump done for you over the past 3 1/2 years? I’ll bet if you don’t have money in the stock market or have a retirement plan, you’re going to be hard pressed to come up with something positive. If you can think of something, let me know by leaving a comment.

Some Republican voters are having second thoughts about voting to re-elect President Trump because of his poor handling of the Covid-19 virus and the social protest that started with the murder of George Floyd. Trump has not tried to unite the country over either of these two issues. Instead, he has clearly demonstrated his lack of empathy, overall weakness, his desire to be a dictator by ignoring the Constitution of the USA (Lafayette Park), and lack of the ability to lead the nation under crisis. What I’ve heard the most from some of my Republican friends is that they agree, except for the economy, Trump is doing a horrible job as President. But they can’t vote Democratic because Joe Biden is senile and Democrats support abortion. Let me show you how these two reasons are not a valid enough reason to vote for Trump.

Regarding Joe Biden is senile. He does occasionally get his thoughts and words mixed up, but so does everyone. Are we all Senile? Trump spoke about Frederick Douglas in the present tense, and he replaced the word “origins” with the word”oranges“. There are many more examples, but they are too numerous to list. The bottom line is, the only other significant scandal Biden is implicated in is nepotism. He got his son a really high paying job. Oh but wait, Trump has two family members working in the White House. With this issue your choices are:

1. Joe Biden- a man who has occasional senile tendencies and who embraced nepotism or,

2. President Trump- a man who deliberately divides the country, incites violence, ignores the viral deaths of thousands of Americans, calls peaceful protests for Black Lives Matter riots, locks children in cages, ignores the Constitution of the USA, believed Putin over US Intelligence regarding 2016 election meddling, thinks some KKK and Nazi’s are very fine people, states the Confederate flag and monuments are part of the American heritage (traitors who killed American soldiers), said John McCain (a POW) was not a hero, and Trump also embraces nepotism. Joe Biden’s list of concerns will never be as long as Trumps. No matter how many more items you could add to the Biden list, you can multiply it 10 fold and add it to Trump’s list. Common sense says your chances of survival is best fighting just one man vs fighting 10 men. The same holds true for a mans character. You have the fewest problems and the best chance dealing with a man with the fewest character flaws. Trump brags about himself being the smartest, has the most, and nobody can match him on anything. He finally got something right. He is the biggest Liar and has the most Character Flaws. You wouldn’t accept a man like Trump as your neighbor. How can you accept him as your President?

Regarding abortion and Democrats. Time for you Republicans to have a biology lesson. Before the sperm and egg meet, that’s life. So if you men masturbate or use a condom, and you women use a  spermicide, IUD, or a morning after pill, you have just killed a child. Tens of millions of kids are killed this way compared to abortion. And just like the people that use abortion to kill, you too will be judged by God. The only truly moral way to have a clear conscious about not having a baby is to never deliberately try to not have a baby and just let chance decide. God doesn’t need your help to render judgement on people who choose abortion. He’s got this. Let Him do His job. Even Jesus said “Render unto Cesar the things that are Cesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s”. Translation, obey man’s law unless it conflicts with God’s law. Right now, abortion is legal and is not on the ballot in 2020. God’s message is one of love even if someone does something horrible. God doesn’t need you to kill the abortion doctor, He’ll deal with it. Women have a choice to have an abortion. If they make the wrong choice, He’ll deal with it. For you Atheist, it boils down to a matter of a woman’s choice and not right verses wrong. You and I have the choice to murder or not to murder and it is the same choice a woman makes when thinking about abortion. In both cases, man’s law will initially apply first, but if there is a God, His Law will be the final authority. Some ex murderers will be in Heaven just like the Thief on the Cross when Jesus was crucified. Don’t forget your Christian beliefs and apply them here. Remember Jesus said: “Love your enemies”(Matthew 5:44).

It’s obvious that Joe Biden has less baggage than President Trump and that Trump is the focal point of the political, social, and world unrest we are currently experiencing. I can only ask Republicans to vote for Biden, but if you can’t, either don’t vote or write-in your Republican candidate. Please, just don’t vote for Trump. If he gets another 4 years, we might not be able to save our Republic from becoming a Dictatorship, and a Dictatorship is far worse than the Socialism you fear. We’ll just become more like Canada and that’s better than Trump is doing now.

I’ve been saying in my Blog that Trump is dangerous for America and American Democracy for the past 3 years. Finally, there are high ranking officials in Trump’s Administration (General Mark Milley Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff & Mark Esper Defense Secretary)  and previous Presidential Administrations that agree. Most of these officials are Generals and Admirals. They have an unwritten code to not make negative comments about a past or sitting President. Many of them broke that code when President Trump used force to break up a peaceful protest so he could have a photo op in Lafayette Square. This shows Trump’s ignorance of the Constitution of the United States, his poor judgement, his lack of mature leadership, his poor understanding of the American people and society, and his blatant rejection of the rule of law. If you don’t agree with or understand these basic strengths relating to the Constitution, then you are the anarchist and traitor to the United States of America and not the protesters.
