Trade, Jobs and the Political Ruling Class

America has not been America for forty years.  The American ruling class of politicians have increasingly dumped onerous free trade deals upon the American people while refusing to close our borders to illegal immigration.  The result has been a widening divide between the rich and the poor.  Our elite politicians do so to further their own electability and personal fortunes at the expense of the working and middle class.  Looking back through the mirror of history, it is difficult to discount the conspiracy theories about a secret regular meeting of worldwide economic power brokers intent on manipulating the peoples and politics of the world for their own financial good.  Somebody has to be pulling the strings.

 

In America the strings have been pulled by the ruling political elite class of politicians lead by those of us named Clinton and Bush.  Political affiliations matter not at all because the strings have been pulled regardless of who wins a particular election.  In 2016 this political reality would not be changing were it not for two candidates running for the presidency.  Both Republican, Donald Trump and Democrat, Bernie Sanders, are calling for radical change that would again focus our politics on the welfare of all Americans and away from Wall Street and the big money power brokers who insist on cheap labor.

Bernie Sanders would like to solve the dilemma with an even bigger government that will be intimately involved in making the economy work for the little people by regulation.  Mr. Trump seems to have an economic plan that may come to be called, smart capitalism.  The buying power of the American consumer is the only leverage left to us that can protect the American worker from economic abuse from abroad.  Mr. Trump believes that this leverage could be applied to trade negotiations in a smart fashion, if and when there was the will to do so from the top.

There has been no will for the last forty years.  Nothing has exposed the bottom line issue for the Republican establishment as this primary election season.  The scrapping has not been about conservative principles, it never was.  The traditional application of free trade principles is why the so-called conservative billionaire Kock brothers have given up fighting Donald Trump and will likely support the Clinton campaign.  Support for Mr. Trump is not dependent upon foreign policy as claimed by former Senator Sununu on Fox News today, May 9.  Newly elected speaker of the House of Representatives and past vice presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, now refuses to endorse Donald Trump.  Is he hoping to out maneuver the Donald on the issue of trade in exchange for the party unity, good luck.  Stupid free trade deals are the issue that the people want confronted in 2016 and the Donald is the man.

We the people must ask our political representatives the question, do you endorse Donald Trump?  I want to hear from my own Congressman, Col. Cook, congressman, have you joined the Trump train?  Being the simpleton that I am, I placed a call to the office of Col. Cook in Washington (202-225-5861) and was told that the house ethics committee has ruled that a house member can’t or should not have an opinion on a particular presidential primary candidate.  So I called the House Ethics Committee (202-225-7103) and was quoted a Rule 7 as a justification for the lack of candor they were promoting.  Does this talking point make sense or are they all blowing smoke to protect their Wall Street funding?

Marine Col. Cook has his head down in the foxhole!

The Pro-Life Failure

The Pro-life movement in America has always been a failure, the movement has always lost the spiritual and political quarrels with the culture for one simple reason.  The Pro-Life movement has tried a politically correct approach to speak to the killing instead of a spiritual approach.  Sure, we march and carry signs as if to say, aren’t we righteous!  Jesus would scold, you hypocrites!
    

The movement allows the woman who kills her child in the womb to play the victim.  The woman is not responsible, only the doctor who does the killing can be blamed.  The woman is just unlucky to become pregnant when her circumstance are not ideal or uncomfortable.  The religious communities give her a pass and thereby exacerbate the killing.   The greater Church is scared to tell the woman and the culture the truth, the truth that the only relief for the murderess is to accept the responsibility for this action before God.

Hang in there for us Mr. Trump

The Republican Party is fractured because our American national identity in 2016 is fractured.  In American history only one other fracture can be compared to our present state and that was the civil war between the states of 1861.  That war was fought to prevent a complete fracturing of America into two governments and two armies separated by the economic issue of slavery.  The political leadership of the southern states demanded an economic model that required a large poor underclass to support the privilege of the relatively few wealthy.

Today America is also fracturing on the same fissure, there is again a war like atmosphere between those who have a stake in this economy and those who have none.  Slavery is gone but the economic bondage of the underclass has ballooned in the last twenty years.  Half of Americans are making less than thirty thousand dollars a year and they know they are politically powerless.  Good paying jobs for Americans and a future for our children is the only real issue that matters to the underclass.  Instead, our politicians trade away jobs and crush our children with trillions of dollars of national debt that will consume future federal revenue when interest rates rise.

   

These are war times, the political leadership of both parties, sometimes called the establishment, are solidly on the side of the few economically powerful.  The establishment politicians fund their careers by taking money from the Wall Street corporations, the too big to fail banks and the stock market sensitive folks.  These contributions obligate the politician to support the national policies that benefit the wealthy few.  The only critical issues of concern to the wealthy few are free trade and free immigration, both policies give the wealthy few cheap labor benefiting big business and thereby inflate the stock market.  All politicians are of the establishment and want only to manage the decline of America on behalf of the wealthy few, it is that simple.

2016 is different only because of the candidacy of Donald Trump, he is the Lone Ranger on a white horse riding into the fight against political and economic injustice perpetrated upon the American underclass.  Mr. Trump is the ultimate outsider, the nonpolitician who only promises to apply commonsense to every issue and vehemently defend the interests of the underclass. Mr. Trump gets it, he says what the underclass wants to hear and has the courage to stand up against all the political elites of both political parties.  The fact that he is not a polished politician able to spin all the accepted political lingo is his greatest strength, not a weakness as his opposition claims. 

When he began his campaign, Mr. Trump only wished to be treated fairly by the Republican establishment.  This was probably a naïve request but it was more or less adhered to by the overconfident establishment through December of 2015, expecting the Donald to fade away.  Instead, the Trump bandwagon took on a winning character and the stock market reacted with a dip of 2000 points in January 2016, the donor class woke up and demanded that the Republican party stop Donald Trump.

 

In the following two months few if any person running for the presidency in the history of America has been so viciously attacked by the other Republican candidates, the Democratic candidates, the left wing stooges, the pontiff, the former president of Mexico as well as the President of the United States.  And what is their grip?  Mr. Trump is not a polished issue wise politician who can be controlled by money.  Well, praises be!

Bloody Bastards

Four Ohio folk were slaughtered today by a machete wielding Mohammad from Somalia.  We ask for such bloody terrorism because of our political correctness. Will Governor Kasick of Ohio do anything besides express condolences to the families?  Will he agree with Donald Trump to stop allowing Muslims among us?  Who are the real hatters?  America will only get silence from the so-called peaceful American Muslim when asked this question.  

Allah is a fraud clung to by the stuck minds of 1.6 billion people worldwide. There is nothing good about the Muslim religion as long as killing is considered by these people a sanctified holy divine act.  How can so many be so deluded? Give all of them a ticket to la la Allah land, ship them all out of the country. No Muslim can be an innocent bystander to the killing, they all are guilty because they are silent.  If your name is Mohammed, watch your back, violence begets violence.  

* O.K.. there were no deaths, four hospitalized, one remains in serious condition. The machete motive is being investigated??

California Nuts

Don’t you just love those California pistachios?  Both delicious and nutritious, they are so good that eating just one is impossible.  There is another schoolyard definition of the word “nuts”, the children use the word to insult and dismiss an offending playmate.  On such an occasion the word means insane or just plain crazy.  We have all heard it and we have all made the accusation, your “nuts”!  When used this way, out of anger or ignorance, the words are an extreme exaggeration that is not intended nor does it have a reality in fact.

    

Mr. O’Reilly was not talking about the delicious pistachio nut on his factor show on the 3^rd of February.  The schoolyard “nuts” insult was flung by Mr. O’Reilly at all persons who disagree with his deluded understanding of Islam as just another religion.  The context for this childish insult was the visit by President Obama to a Mosque in Baltimore.  The message that the president brought to the Muslim folk was to assure them that America is about religious freedom and that an attack upon one religion is an attack upon all religions.  Frankly, the president should go back to school, banning criticism of any religion is not American religious freedom.

 

The fact that President Obama visited a Mosque is no surprise.  The fact that the president made another speech to hand out politically correct spin is certainly no surprise.  The fact that the president of these United States was somehow compelled to defend Muslim killers is no surprise.  This California nut is surprised, however, at the just plain ignorant words and simpatico of Mr. O’Reilly with the deceit of our president.  A high school student could discover the facts of Islam by checking out Wikipedia or any history book on the rise of Islam. 

The prophet Muhammad began the violence as he conquered the peoples of the Arab lands 1400 years ago.  The spiritual betterment of the people was never the primary motivation for the conquests by this religion, all the killing was and is about political control and the establishment of Caliphates.  This word does sound familiar, no?  The rise of Islam has always been by the sword, economic manipulation or at the ballot box.  Guess what is planned for America, could it be all three?  

Why would the president and Mr. O’Reilly soft peddle the threat?  Islam and all other religions will never just get along because Islam wants to control the whole earth and 1.6 billion people is a good start.  When push comes to shove, the so called peaceable Muslims in America will fall in line with their religiously defined family and real freedom will go bye, bye.

Why is it that the Islamic reform organizations fail to influence the Mosques of America?   Why are the Mosques in America funded to a large extent by the brothers in the Arabian Peninsula?  Why are there no apologies or condolences given by American Islamic leaders for the killing of Americans by these nuts? Why do mosques not inform on their radical brothers?  Why are potential terrorists not ratted out by their American families?  Terrorists blowing themselves up so that they can have perpetual sex with the virgins in heaven, this is insane craziness, you would think that even sex would get tiring after a few thousand years.

This California nut is tired of all the Ostrich like behavior from our church, political and media leaders.  These folk must get their heads out of the sand and be Americans, their blind passivity is criminal and traitorous.  The Muslim believer is a Muslim first and an American second.  Every religion asks their people to positively influence the culture through the voting process but no other religion advocates the dismantling of a national political structure.  The Muslim religion orders all secular politics be destroyed.

Allah says you must believe or die an infidel.  Are you tone deaf Mr. O'Reilly?

BOTTOM LINE

There is no separation between church and state within the faith of Islam.  Anyone who believes otherwise is ignorant of history, Mohammad and his followers have been demanding political control for the last 1400 years. The demand may come from the barrel of a gun, economic intimidation or the ballot box, either way, Allah will rule the world!
