Why Donald Trump Is Still Here

 It Appears You Have No Idea
 Fans, to government: ENOUGH!

Sorry.
You have probably noticed that Donald Trump has supporters who are loud, proud and do not care what you think of him, STILL. I think you may have forgotten, or not realized why that is, despite the clue stick bruising you by this point. 

So, here are some reasons. You'll notice that most are things he DIDN'T do. That's because Trump fans want government to stop any and all crap they're doing, and if the guy who will do that is an ass in some way, that's OK. Democrats never seem to care about their guy's character, anyway... 

They apparently have no interest in Kamala Harris' or Tim Walz' record. None. Try asking.

Anyway:

• He's not a career politician. Why is this important? Because the vast majority of problems seen by working Americans have come from government. Although many of the problems were not caused by a President, any President is associated with the Congress who DOES produce those problems if they are the same party. It's not even just Democrats to blame for this; career Republicans suck, too. Did you notice that Teh Donald was the ONLY candidate with an (R) who was at all different?
• He has run multiple businesses and made payroll. If you seek to yell about bankruptcies, have you noticed that those occur in courts, and he has been in business for decades?
• His Vice President did not: a) seek to allow falsified evidence at trial, and b) try to extend the prison sentences of black Americans for their labor. Harris did, as AG of CA.
• He didn't lie about Obamacare, repeatedly, as it put tens of millions of Americans out of full-time jobs and kept them there - and medical facilities are still closing.
• He didn't violate Federal law by modifying the terms of Obamacare outside the legislative process.
• He didn't claim loudly that "you didn't build that!" when talking about your life's work.
• It's obvious where he got his money (mostly inheritance). Where did your candidate get theirs?
• He told Chicago police that they could solve their crime problem if they were only allowed to. That is a fundamental quality of leadership: expecting capability from those you associate with and acknowledging that in public.
• He "might be mean" to gays, but he didn't take money from regimes that kill them (Hillary). Didja know that?
• He didn't put "diversity" over competency in selecting staff positions, or in the armed forces where such individuals would require constant and radical medication - or think about themselves rather than their military unit.
• He didn't party at Epstein Island; it is obvious that those who did are still at large, but career pols, and not to be pursued.
• He didn't allow American cities to be burned, as one current VP candidate did, by an organization that did nothing but enrich themselves as they destroyed the property of American workers - and parts of Washington, DC ("Mostly peaceful", my ass). This cemented the idea that "news" was nothing of the sort, never to be trusted - and that the current Administration was not going to protect the citizens.
• He was the target of "news" that was clearly false. So were others, but this is about DJT.
• He didn't call half of Americans "deplorable" or claim they were bitter, clinging to their guns and religion.
• He didn't trade captured senior terrorists for a deserter.
• He didn't trade an international criminal for a basketball player who could not read Russian laws about drug possession.
• The targeting of his candidacy and his supporters was obvious and continuous, continually raising the question, "What the hell is wrong with making America great?"
• He didn't lead or encourage "an insurrection" of any kind. A different cast of liars ignored the Capitol police guiding people into the building, where they largely took selfies. Think not? There is video, and in a wonderful "tell", the Jan 6 commission actually published that they were seeking the officers who did that. Not fiction.
• He didn't decide to hide manipulation of the free market by telling banks to deny assets to unfavored professions, called "Operation Choke Point".
• He didn't let an American ambassador die in Libya with no consequences, while shifting blame.
• He didn't claim ignorance of US cybersecurity law while in an office required to acknowledge it - or claim that the law didn't apply.
• He wasn't involved in the conspiracy to violate 8USC1082, to open the border or keep it open to give American resources to illegals. Although he did fail to deliver on the promise to close the border, he could point to obstruction.
• He didn't abandon billions of dollars of taxpayer property - military equipment! - leaving the Middle East, in a manner that also killed 13 Americans.
• His people didn't invent or perpetuate the practice of groping toddlers because their parents want to fly on an airplane.
• His conservative supporters are keenly aware that their people are shouted down by adults who aged without maturing intent on preventing free speech.
• His Attorneys General didn't have to take the 5th Amendment talking to Congress, nor did he engage in the gun-running of "fast & furious".
• His people didn't bugger the 2020 election; Michigan waited 4 months, then dumped 177,000 people off their rolls. Not fiction.
• His people haven't presided over increases in some costs of over 50% due to just 4 years of inflation.
• He divested himself of controls of his money while in office - while Ms Pelosi and others apparently engage in insider trading the very same day legislation they favor becomes law.
• His Inauguration featured a stroll afterwards down the street. The Biden Inauguration featured razor wire and thousands of troops against an attack that wasn't planned and was incredible from the start. The Public? Screw them, they can't be trusted to see Mr. Biden swear in.
• His people didn't put cocaine in the White House. Isn't this a hint the people in there aren't interested in your country?

ALL of these things are the product of career politicians. ALL Americans have a right to expect better service than they are getting, even as they don't usually act. Yet we see repeatedly that a person who advocates for Trump may be physically attacked, or their property damaged, by someone, and that someone is often a gibbering mess, hysterical and incoherent. Why? Who might that be?

Now, you might want to talk about a trial. Do you not recognize that Stormy was in the news years ago? Want to talk about Epstein, dead, and Ghislane Maxwell in jail? For what, now? With whom?
It is a simple thing for the average citizen to blow this off, to look at the unending harassment of Trump and everybody with a red hat and say, "I don't care. Trump is better than any of that... filth."

Can you seriously speak of the law, given the transgressions of the Biden family, Kamala Harris as California AG and their handlers? For years, government officials have done what they pleased, convinced and then proven right that there are no consequences for them. Think about this: while Teh Donald was with Stormy, somebody in government office was diddling children provided by Epstein. Who do you support now?

Now, notice what the Democratic Party is doing with respect to primaries this year, and tell me that doesn't reek.
Because the ventriloquist doesn't retire his puppet until its usefulness has passed. If you wanna heave when you hear, "Trump", you might think why it is that you're on the side of shooters.

I'm registered "Unaffliated". I don't want to have to select the lesser evil, or deal with braying and whining about slights both real and imagined. I want candidates who have a service record we know about and can be proud of. I don't see one, but I know that I can't find many in the political profession today - and I know that all this time, the career pol has been flagrantly avoiding the oath of office his/her whole career while backed by two Administrations, at least.

How You Lost The United States of America

You have. How? Wait for it…

I have a friend whose sister is an elementary school teacher. She had difficulty with one of her second-grade students, in that he would untie his shoes several times a day, but couldn’t tie them again; he would whine about their being untied incessantly until she tied them for him. So, at a scheduled meeting with his mother, she mentioned that the tyke needed to learn to tie his shoes. The response?

 “That yo job.”

That is a quote. And an example, for she was in no way alone in that opinion.

Nationwide, Americans think it is "someone else’s" job… to do everything. This is well acknowledged. Nearly everyone has a story about someone they know, wanting, even expecting special treatment from others at some time.

But there is a second aspect, invisible and truly horrible. 

_____________________

The average American – by extension, you – decided you would assign the entire job of “education” to teachers, even aiding and abetting the absolute myth that teachers are nobles, of special status if not divine.

Here are problems, giant ones:

• Parents lose respect in their own home as they claim apathy and ignorance every time their children ask a question
• The teaching profession has evolved into a political entity with no personal experience other than… attending school.

More than half of the instruction, training, and education previous generations received is now gone.

_____________________ 

Almost nothing is learned from family, as arguments about “education” revolve around testing and money. The teaching profession takes an adversarial position to parental involvement, which somehow has turned into a battle for “self-esteem” which somehow has become disconnected with either aptitude or achievement. Kids don’t learn anything substantive? Ignore that. Make sure they feel OK about it, instead. Be hostile to those who insist that your judgment is suspect.

How did you lose the United States of America? By wanting nothing whatsoever to do with maintaining it. For wanting to avoid judgment of people you knew in your heart were wrong, foolish or evil, because that was not only unpleasant but would expose your inactivity, your uselessness in matters of ethical import. You seized on the idea, "Judge not, lest ye be judged" at once, utterly fearful of Jesus' command at the real end of that story: "Go, and sin no more!"
You have never noticed that the founders of this country set up a system depending on you.

 

In all aspects of American society.
Including family. Which you’re teaching to be selfish and entitled.
I’m sure you’re a wonderful person, otherwise.

So you get a “participant” trophy, too.

Loyalty

You look for a dog that is loyal ...why not a partner?

We are told that somewhere in the vicinity of 50% of marriages in the USA now end in divorce.

I suggest that this is not necessary, though it is understandable.

As time passes, more people are taught that what they want now is the supreme consideration. Nothing whatsoever should stand between themselves and utter satisfaction. The evidence permeates media: we are shown a parade of celebrities who have decided they are tired of what has turned out to be the flavor of the month. We are shown athletes in every major sport who reject marriage, for whatever reason... we even celebrate their casual relationship that has produced a child.

But marriage is not the point, however it may speed probate courts and enable emergent medical decisions.

If you embrace a simple idea, commitment, before you engage in what you think may be serious relationship negotiations, and if you find a partner who recognizes its value...

...you may beat those odds. Especially if tough times come your way.

This lady DOES understand: a promise is the heaviest thing you will carry, and that the rewards of life are often on the other side of a... challenge.

May you find your own way so gifted, that your partner can actually be serious.

Who is in charge?

It's not "government". It's YOU. But not really.

As the political season has been extended to a year-round activity, apparently by popular demand, let me apologize beforehand for any offense you might encounter in reading only part of the story.
If you're not interested in politics, you can stop now. I don't blame you.

Only part of the story? Yeah, you're not really looking at legal actions in the news. For decades, I have watched political expediency set aside law. Please note that Reagan, both Bushes, both Clintons and Obama were surrounded by and buried in a pile of criminals. None of them got touched, no matter how much lying they did. You know you saw their fans loudly proclaim they didn't care, too - even before Facebook, outrage was not linked to education, logic, or reason. The list of offenses against the Constitution are countless.

Each generation has had the opportunity to fix this - to see that the candidate was *not* a liar and conniving miscreant bent on enrichening themselves.
You know in your bones that you now have one person in mind. Now, be honest: this applies to *your* favorite, too.

Each generation has been distracted so well that they only *react* to offenses already complete. I am sure none of you has an idea HOW to get a deserving person on the national stage for the next election - I don't know how to do that - but it's clear that the existing political machines are self-serving, that we have no moral superiority anywhere in sight. Nearly half of the country realizes that the existing government does not serve them - yet the other half is certain that this machine holds them dear.

Okay, I guess. Some owners do love their slaves...

The founding documents of this nation say that YOU are in charge, and that there are commensurate responsibilities YOU must exercise.
But that's the most unpleasant and most hastily-denied word on the planet: "responsibility".
All this time, you've been delegating *authority* to elected officials, to act on your behalf. In the process, you probably didn't notice that your collective attitude, "I pay my taxes, now do your job" has undermined us all. Having no idea whatsoever about what you want to happen, your will is now irrelevent, replaced with whatever that ruling class wants.

So you might be offended now that someone doesn't like your stance on a political issue. Sorry - you have to deal with it. No one gets to ignore a society's rules while they interact with it. That's not me talking. It's one of the laws of cause and effect.

Meanwhile, steady pressure exerted by the actions of Congress will determine whether hobnailed boots come to your house.

You might want to look at that now and then.

The Grievance Industry Wants Your $$

 If I can convince you someone deserves help, I can make a fortune

You may have seen, earlier in this blog, the tremendous hoax behind the term, "African - American". That's not the only case in which people are exploited for monetary gain.

At the sci-fi/fantasy convention, "Dragoncon", it was apparently necessary to single out some demographics for special attention. These groups cannot advance on their own merit, it seems, and so special attention is necessary based on... identity. Not achievement.

So an organized effort must be mounted to see that everyone gets market share.

This is nonsense.

The Dragoncon venue/universe encompasses every kind of performing art - emphasis on, "performing". In general, the audience absolutely cannot tell if the artist is LBGTQ or of a given race, and in fact this is totally irrelevant to them. Elton John and James Brown showed more than 50 years ago that people ignore such things when a killer product is delivered. This has been lost on the professionally offended today.

So:

When have any of us cared who the performer is until after we have seen their work?

To the point, there is serious money to be made in the grievance industry - that industry concerned with the outrage of... third parties. As we have seen the real achievements of minorities obliterated because they succeeded the "wrong" way, we see yet more Reasoning Deficit Disorder.
Such people who insist that the way to success is to penalize the already successful are deranged, and we should not oblige them. Especially heinous is the effect chivvying for advantage has on the market: standards are lowered. This is not the way to get excellence. The mediocre are not magically made great by calling on their personality.

Be careful. The issue is not that such people exist. It is that there is value being assigned to identity independent of contribution to society. Two excellent articles illustrating this are Six Harsh Truths That Will Make You a Better Person, and Fisking NPD About Latinos In The Movies. I note in the latter that LGBTQ+ is represented on-air at nearly ten times their representation in the population.

Somehow that's not enough.

In short: you want success, my attention? Put out great work. Even Hollywood, the most savagely competitive environment there is, asks for that as it pretends to care about those who can't do that.
