Opinion written by George McClellan:

While the Democrats are in their self-loathing mode, wasting our time delaying Trumps Cabinet appointments, a few in the GOP now pretend they want to be Statesmen, as in seriously considering the possible negative affects of rooting out Obamacare and replacing it with an affordable free market plan that everybody can participate in. What negative affects?

Some GOPer’s, in their steadfast commitment to inaction, claim there is still 10% now covered by the ADA (free health care), who needs to be considered. Well, no, they don’t, because there is no way in hell any of those freeloaders are going to vote for a Republican, on any account, at any time so, forget that option. Repeal Obamacare, right now, while we still hold the Congress.

In these nearly final days of our Grand Republic, many politicians, a majority in fact, Democrat and Republican alike, have sought political office simply to enrich themselves and their cronies with absolutely no thought to real statesmanship. Jeff Sessions is probably the last real statesman coming out of the Senate. I’ll give credit to first term Senators David Perdue and Tom Cotton, as falling into the “Statesman” category. The rest of ‘em aren’t worth spit!

Macaskill and Collins? When did these two illuminaries decide they were qualified to be Statesmen? The minute Trump was elected, that’s when!  As “Never-Trumper’s” they might as well be Democrats for all the good they’re doing to the GOP’s plans to move America away from Obama’s fascism. For any Republican to align themselves with Democrats, on any issue, is the supreme act of betrayal to their party and to their country. To pretend they do so as Statesmen, is even worse. It is the supreme act of fecklessness. That’s John McCain and Lindsay Graham!

Democrats are fooling nobody. They are the party of small minded, nasty, hate filled hypocrites. Their media rants provide fodder for Comedy Central, Saturday Night Live, Roger Moore and Bill Maher. These people are the leftover dregs from the1960’s, like Hillary and Bill Clinton.

They look down on those who serve and support the military, as simple creatures incapable of getting a job anywhere else; kinda like many college professors with PhD’s in useless subjects, unable to get a job in the real market so, they teach to eat.

These delusional Progressives called the wife of a Navy Seal warrior killed in combat, dumb because, they say, President Trump used her as a prop. They see all of us who serve or have served in the military, as just bible toting populist and patriotic, nationalistic numbskulls, in the way of their plan for a one world government. Is it no wonder the Democrat Party is shrinking as more and more sane people head for the doors?

The Democrat party, in its death struggle, have elevated hypocrisy to a high art form. Trump’s election halted their global agenda dead in its tracks. When Trump withdrew the from TPP, he stymied the lefts nearly completed plan to give away America’s sovereignty to a one world government. His encouragement of other nations, especially in the EU, to recover their national identities, sovereignty and dignity, has inflamed them all the more. Nationalism is the enemy of a One World government. To that end, we can easily see the role of multi-national trade unions as the deceptive vehicles to encourage a one-world government. Jews need not apply.

The political conflicts we now endure, between what’s left of the Democrat party and the real Americans taking over, can best be visualized in their choice of leadership. The Democrats  unsuccessfully hyped Keith Ellison, a known anti-Semite and supporter of radical Islam, as their party chairman. He was endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Chuckie Schumer. This is not just a battle of Republicans vs Democrats, this is a battle of good vs evil.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (05Mar17)

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Clearly some judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals are bereft of any understanding of Constitutional Law. It would be churlish to call them “Progressives” but, three Court of Appeal judges, collectively and laughingly agreed that the ‘opinion,’ not a ruling, but the opinion of a Federal District Court Judge. Robart, stood the test of Constitutionally concerning the authority of the President to do his lawful job. Maybe the smoke from California’s cannibus laws has risen to the highest levels of progressivism, the judges chambers. Maybe!

Judge Robart, took ten minutes to issue his nationwide injunction against the President’s temporary travel ban on Islamic Jihadists without once referring to any case law, prior courts decision, or other ruling that have in fact, empowered the President to do just exactly what he did. This is simply an attack on Trump, a determined effort by the Progressives to stop Trumps “drain the swamp” programs. Simple as that! It’s all anti-Trump and anti-American.

The President’s oath is to protect us from all our enemies, foreign and domestic. Apparently the oath of judges of the 9th Circuit is to prevent the President from doing that, at all costs. Who is going to protect us from activists judges who have presumed a judicial supremacy over the Constitution, the Executive and the Congress, an authority that is not theirs?

Trump realizes, if Democrats do not, that the Constitution is not the key to allowing unvetted terrorists into America, but is the authority to keep ‘em out. As far back as Thomas Jefferson, the issue of Presidential authority was tested. Jefferson, in response to a court ruling that opposed what he was constitutionally authorized to do simply defunded that court until they understood the message of what the courts real job was. It was not to set policy. Andrew Jackson in defying his court said: “The courts have made their decision; now let them enforce it.”

In The Federalist, No. 78, Alexander Hamilton wrote that the judiciary is the “least dangerous” branch of government because it “has no influence over either the sword or the purse,” i.e.: the President or the Congress. What changed that? They’re supposed to be three equal branches.

Trump could, like Andrew Jackson, ignore the court ruling, but he won’t. The Progressives with their media lackey’s would scream bloody murder, dictatorship, fascism and hateful totalitarism against Trump and the Republican party. It’s all fake news. They have nothing else to stem the sea change that came with Trumps election as President. They will pay dearly in the end.

Under the Progressives, the judiciary became increasingly bold, deliberately moving America away from the Constitution, an old, out of date parchment document not in keeping with modern times, by issuing screwy decisions that empowered the inmates and caged the normals. It’s coming to an end and, it will be brutal in the meantime. Get ready to resist!

The point here is the courts are actually powerless to enforce their edicts because they serve at the grace and favor of the President. To ignore the 9th’s decision would be a reminder of their actual impotence. To defund them would be a better reminder. “To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an Oligarchy.” Thomas Jefferson, 1820.

How about that? Rationalizations outside of the rule of law does not Trump the Constitution. Trump can end it, if he chooses to. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em. (11 Feb 2017)

Opinion written by George McClellan

Evidence of the lefts collapse into puddles of gelatinous protoplasm continues as evidence mounts daily in the flurry of negative and, may I also add, fake news stories condemning Donald Trumps leadership as President. They see it as a harbinger of a Trump dictatorship. But, having confirmed their reputations as liars, no one believes them and they can’t make it stick. The sky is not falling but the pain of change is unbearable to those who think so.

Trump is doing what he said he was going to do and they can’t really stop him. It’s painful. Clearly, Brexit set into motion a new wave of nationalism and populism. Trumps election confirmed to other Europeans that a way does exist for their frustrated citizens to throw off the yoke of unwanted Socialism imposed from Brussels. The gates have opened that will start a flood that probably can’t be stopped by the efforts of any New World Order.

Nigel Farage of Britain’s Independence Party saw it this way: “There is a genuine feeling that Trump taking over the White House is part of a bigger, global movement. Our critics, looking at Trump’s candidacy and his speech yesterday, would call it the rise of populism. I would say it’s simply a return to nation-state democracy and proper values … This is a genuine political revolution.”  It’s the pain of unexpected change and they don’t know what to do about it.

A former Obama era security advisor was even brazen enough to suggest that the US military  would probably have to stage a coup to rid America of its hated Trump. I don’t know what this advisor was smoking, but if Americas military ever had a reason to stage a coup, it would have been against the feckless Barak Obama. Oh, the pain continues. They love Donald Trump.

It is noteworthy to tell readers that even at Obama’s Pentagon farewell address to the military, where he awarded himself a participation medal, there wasn’t enough GI personnel in the vast chasm of an auditorium to pay the light bill. Obama spoke to a nearly empty house.

The hysteria over Trump’s immigration ban, especially after Trump’s “tweet” calling that jurist a  “so called judge,” really roiled the sea of leftist discontent. Maybe Trumps tweets are inappropriate, maybe not, but one thing is certain, he get’s the issues out in the open where both sides are talking about ‘em and where the voters can tweet their two cents worth and then, moving beyond the hyperbole, the truth eventually comes out. The press still lies!

Some leftists claim Trumps ‘tweet’ against the judge was unprecedented. Well, it wasn’t! Does no one recall Obama’s State of the Union address, where he publicly chastised the Supreme Court for its Citizens United decision? The Democrats cheered wildly. Nothing is unprecedented in politics. Democrats (liberals) would have us believe that their judges are sacrosanct. But, when they lose at the ballot box they go straight to their activist judges to circumvent the will of the people. Liberals have shown no scruples about bypassing the constitution when it advances their narrative. Therein lies the precursors for real tyranny. Trump will sweep that all away.

Politicians are elected to serve the people of America, not themselves or their party; and, the Constitution is the infallible guide to their deliberations and their votes. American politics is like a pendulum, popular for awhile, then losing favor swinging to another view, but always, the Constitution must remain their guide. This applies to Presidents and Judges too. The Congress has got to reclaim its legislative authority under Trump, before another Democrat takes office.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, let’s make America great again! (5 Feb17)

Opinion written by George McClellan:

The firing of liberal activist, Sally Yates, an obscure Obama appointee serving temporarily as the AG until Jeff Sessions is installed, is a non issue. But the press is going ballistic. They have become literally vituperative over the issue.

Yates would have been gone anyway because, like the State Department officials who left on 20 January she, as an Obama appointee, submitted a pro forma letter of resignation. Trump, naturally accepted it in light of her publicly defiant stand against his Immigration order. There is no comparison to Nixon’s Saturday night massacre. None! Don’t buy into that!

Trumps heterodox approach to the immigration issue, smacks of a puerility not experienced before in our government. The release of Sally Yates is under attacked by the hysterical left talking heads of both the media and the democrat party, as unconstitutional, illegal and etc. No, it isn’t!

For years now, we have heard these words spoken in defense of the indefensible: It’s not who we are,” “It’s not the way American’s do things,” “ It’s not fair,” and, “It’s unAmerican,” etc.. Nonsense, it is who we are. The Left want’s our constitutional America destroyed using any tool they think is available to them, like immigration rules. They believe that by inviting in the very people who can destroy America, they, as a party can survive.  Well, just who are we then?  The left, even now languishing in their last gasps of relevancy, are still trying to set the agenda and promote a narrative that is, in fact un-American, unfair, dangerous, damaging to our economy and harmful to our culture.

NY Sen. Chuckie Schumer, at the Battery Park in NY, demonstrated, by his phony tears and emotion, a puerile process that attempts to re-enforce the lefts narrative that Islam is a religion of peace and America would be woefully harmed if we ceased letting them freely into our country. The democrats see them as votes, the “elites” see them as cheap labor and the rest of us see them as rattlesnakes. Nobody except democrats, could possibly want to invite rattlesnakes into their houses.

These people are demented. After only two years of Obama’s agenda, Americans delivered him a staggering loss in Congress and two years later, a staggering loss in the Senate. The American people clearly rejected Obama’s Marxist agenda. But, that didn’t stop Obama from pushing his claimed executive authority to the very brink of Constitutional lawlessness. The end result, as we know, was the loss to the Democrats, of even the presidency.  Some more changes are coming, so be prepared! We now have a strong willed executive in the White House getting the things done we wanted done.

The lefts narrative is in tatters but that doesn’t keep ’em from pushing it anyway, especially among our younger citizens who have passed through Americas dysfunctional education system, their heads filled with socialist nonsense. Now is not the time to relax our guard. Now is not the time to question President Trump’s vision. We know what they are. They are our visions too and we need to support him.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (31 Jan 2017).

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Democrats are practiced in the art of circumlocution. They say one thing then claim they meant another. They change word definitions to fit their narrative, hide them in a flurry of rhetoric and then shamelessly move on to the next lie or problem they create.

In case they didn’t get the message, they have also lost three elections in a row. Judging by the incredulous, vituperative reaction to Trumps presidency, now being harmlessly showered down on a Trump who doesn’t really care, I think the Democrats days are probably numbered. Trump vanquished them, completely and he sweeps on while they’re trying to figure out their next plot to undermine him. Their message doesn’t resonate any more. Donald Trump was elected by Americans who believe his policy proposals will reverse years of economic decline brought on by, among other things, Obama’s overregulation, overspending and mismanagement.

The rising level of opprobrium belongs to the Democrats alone. Their propaganda machine, the MSM, is itself now under serious attack by Trump while it flails away at the wrong issues. Trump doesn’t play the game their way. By ‘tweets’, he chums them and they rise to his bait. To us, he speaks simply, in clear words and then follows up on his pledges and they can’t keep up. All this tawdry unpleasantness simply because the Left don’t know what is and is not the truth anymore, unless it’s the truth that fits their socialist agenda. We’re not listening!

Here’s an example of media driven fake news. The Weekly Standard, still clinging to their “Never Trump” mantra, would have us believe that the mass State Department resignations of senior officials must signal a loss of confidence in Trumps administration. An interesting point, since Trump hasn’t hardly even got started yet. In fact, their resignations are pro forma when a change of administrations occurs. As presidential appointees, they serve at the pleasure of the President, not the Civil Service. The resignation letters submitted by Obama’s appointees, Progressive all, after the election, were legal and accepted immediatelyTrump was sworn in. They weren’t fired! Interestingly, the last time the US Government experienced such a mass loss of employees involved in foreign diplomacy was at the Little Big Horn.

Such change Is good for the government, good for realigning our foreign relations priorities and good for setting the parameters for knowing who is really for us and who isn’t. Doubtless, good relations with other governments, including the several sanctuary cities and counties in America, are critical to our own security as a country. American’s see that, the Left doesn’t and frames their dissent in terms of hate words, i.e.: we are racist, homophobic, islamaphobic, & etc. Their power to instill fear with twisted language is fast ebbing.

These Short Takes essays you read are exercises in anti-circumlocution. One can show a level of intellectualism without verbosity. When published, they are limited to filling one page with basic truths, free of peripheral nonsense that say’s nothing. They are direct and to the point! To achieve that end, I always have at hand three essential books: a book of Synonyms, a Thesaurus and a Dictionary. Searching for the best word(s) that succinctly explains my thoughts, eliminates the boring and mind numbing verbosity that the Left uses to explain their ‘truths’. Winston Churchill is my literary example. I confess also, that I am occasionally aided by a friend who apparently has a dictionary too.

What do you call 68 democrats who refuse to attend a Presidential inauguration?….. A good start!  Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, Let’s help Trump make America Great again. Trump can’t do it alone. Let him lead. (27 Jan 2017)

Opinion by George McClellan:

Today, at noon, Donald Trump, a very successful businessman and a non politician, ascended to the highest job in the land, President of the United States. As a campaigner he easily vanquished his opponents whose sole objective was to maintain the status quo of political corruption. I think an exception would have been Sen. Ted Cruz, but he lost his bid as well, and even has lost his way afterward, meandering about in the rubble that was the old dysfunctional, eastern elite Republican Party. Like the others he too cannot get over the Trump ascendency. It was a salubrious day indeed.

But, those most adversely affected, those with the most to lose, the Democrat Party, distraught in their candidates loss to Trump, were revealed as but a shallow entity without substance, void of ideas and diminished popular support. Lacking any depth of leadership, its ranks of potential leaders, wiped out by preceding elections, has fossilizes their party like dinosaur eggs.

Those Democrats that still exist in some minor capacity in government are totally derange over the circumstances of their loss. Their flailing efforts to derail the Trump train has left them prostate with grief, notable by their whining, ineffective legislating and all but ignored in their  commentary. But, some are still there, abiding in the Congress, promising to be a hinderance, demanding to be relevant and insisting that their already installed socialist programs should be maintained, for the people, not pulled out root and branch for the failures they really are.

In desperation, the Democrats, who only a few short months ago demanded that Trump must accept the results of the General Election now, do not themselves accept the result of the General Election. Oh, the irony! Instead, many refused to attend the orderly ceremonial transition of power, while they conspiratorially organize or encourage disruptions of this important transition ceremony, and bad mouth anything the new president Trump will say or do.

The Democrats made a practice of disobeying the laws unless it was to their profit. The long mantra of the Socialist Democrat party is “do as we say, not as we do. If you resist you will be crushed by regulations we have imposed to control you.” That has been the daily meme here in the Land of the Free, for eight long, miserable years, if not longer.

Today the Democrat party lies in shambles. Their is no mandate to resurrect it, no further need for its existence, indeed, now is the time to destroy it completely. If grassroots democrats want to try, they should consider forming up Tea Party Democrats and see if that gains traction.

Trump owes the democrats nothing! No respect and no loyalty. He owes them nothing! They do not need to be listened to. Their message is as irrelevant as it is unimportant and their words stand only as a reminder of their already totally exhausted political philosophies of long ago.

Obama’s Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, when she paid her secret flying visit to Bill Clinton at a remote Arizona airfield and, in doing so violating America’s laws, in effect, set us free. They are owed nothing. They lost our respect and crushed any claims to our loyalty. They return the favor by not showing loyalty to America’s new leadership. They have distanced themselves from righteous people and will wander lost in the wilderness for years while true Americans, with a returned reliance on divine Providence, will pledge to those who have earned our loyalty, “our adherence to the rule of law, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”  Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, let’s make America Great Again. (20 Jan 2017)

Opinion by George McClellan:

The main theme of this Russian hacking of the DNC non-story is that the hackers, whoever they are, did it for the benefit of Donald Trump with the specific intent to harm Hillary Clinton in her campaign to become looter in chief. Nonsense! It’s fake news and takes our eyes off her crimes.

The flood of stories now being inflicted upon us by the leftist media have yet to reveal any evidence that supports any claim that Russia affected our elections. Doubtless, they did hack the DNC and revealed the Clinton team’s criminality, which the DoJ has declined to pursue.

Additionally, given the total failure of the feckless Obama administration, especially during Clinton’s four years of State Department mismanagement by ignoring any response to Putin’s military actions on the Ukrainian border, the Crimea, Syria, Libya or in the Mediterranean, why would he want to help Donald Trump and the Republican Party gain control over the total of the US Government? Trump’s a tough guy. So is Putin. They both know that!

That media’s scenario makes no sense whatsoever. Even if we were to assume that Putin is an idiot, which he isn’t, he most certainly knows that when the US President has the support of the Congress and Americans, that he is much more powerful than the fool who has been presiding over a divided America, as we have suffered under since 2008.

The hacking revealed the DNC, and its candidate, to be dysfunctional, overzealous, careless, and arrogant in its approach to handling official US government communications by using unauthorized email servers. The DNC, overrun as it is with folks that have no use for each other and are not in the least bit reticent about carelessly putting that in writing, it comes as no surprise that they were easily hacked or that her campaign ultimately collapsed. In frustration the Democrats, what’s left of ‘em, are now blaming anybody but themselves for their loss.

It was evident the Democrat Party was deeply divided over their choice of who should be their presidential candidate. The DNC was not. Hillary was to be their candidate. To assure that, the fix was in. All the Democrat wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments not-with-standing, she, ultimately lost the election. The leftist medias news claims is not evidence that her loss was the intent of the hackers. To claim that is fallacious reasoning indeed.

Add to that the fact that no one has offered any evidence whatsoever that even a single popular electoral vote was swayed by the release of the DNC information let alone by the pleas of the leftist Hollywood elite, it’s then we realize we have experienced the worst example of failed representative government since King George III.

Too, the far left media has focused our attention solely on the issue of “hacking” while ignoring the crimes they revealed. The classified data in those hacked emails, known to everybody, cleared or not on the Clinton team, is a crime and forms the basis of serious criminal charges against the entire Clinton team starting with ‘herself,’ John Podesta, Uma Abaden & D. Brazile.

Americans will not be satisfied with the new Republican government until that government allow’s justice to take its course without political influence from mere politicians. Clearly, it is revealed that the highest levels of our intelligence agencies, including the FBI and the DoJ, have been so politicized that they may actually be a danger to the country they are pledged to protect.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, Go get ‘em! (06 Jan 2017)

Opinion written by George McClellan:

I’m becoming a bit concerned that Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace, is edging to the ‘dark side.’ Today’s interview (01/22/17), nay challenge, of Trumps Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus, was a tawdry example of combatively exploring the trivial to energize the petty, in order to trivialize Donald Trump’s presidency by giving credence to pure nonsense. Who cares? The Leftists do!

The MLK bust issue, a chance opportunity taken by a pool reporter who “tweeted: “Trump ordered the MLK Bust removed,” because he, the reporter, couldn’t see it. It was purposely designed to start tongues wagging on the same level, or worse, as when Obama handed the bust of Winston Churchill back to the British Ambassador on his first day in office. If you can’t see something, wait for it. If it’s still not there ask about it before tweeting a “gotcha” to the world. I would suspect that guy will have his WH press credentials taken. Who needs him?

The media doesn’t understand Trumps push back on these small issues and so they waste valuable Sunday airtime talking about nothing. The same with the head count. In two more days, who will even care unless the media chokes themselves trying to keep it alive? The end result, Trump will still be president and the press will still remain untrusted.

Hit Trump and expect to be hit back. In this era of divided loyalties, no politician can stand the free hits the press constantly delivers against Conservatives. George W. Bush, had a policy of not responding and look where that got him. Obama blamed him for every Democrat congressional failure in the Americas political and economic scene since the last two years of Bush’s final term. Trump isn’t going to stand for that.

Then comes the vagina vigilantes, the woman’s march, most of ‘em white feminist distraught that Hillary lost the election, demanding freedom. From whom, from what? Looking at the close ups of the feminist crowd, no two signs they held, said the same thing, One group wanted free sex without consequences, another wanted state paid contraception, another group demanded abortions, it was painful. Even street interviews revealed some really stupid young women.

It did not go unnoticed that the alleged feminist celebrities seized control of the microphones to proclaim their anti-Trumpism. The odious and scraggy Madonna, in her usual profanity laced profile, screamed out to the assembled women her vile thoughts and demands. So did the beautiful Scarlett Johansson and sadly, the once sweet and lovely Ashley Judd felt compelled to join the fray and smear herself with anarchist shame. Who got to her one wonders?

Why is celebrity granted a free pass? These people are basically stupid about events, guided only by a mistaken philosophy that abhors men except when its time to get impregnated, if a machine can’t do it first. Who is Alicia Keyes and Janelle Monae? I’ve never heard of them and didn’t recognize them when they spoke on live TV but they had a stupid message to proclaim and a platform to proclaim it.

The first feminist, Gloria Allred, now an aging old hag, screamed out that “if Trump registers Muslims, then we will all register as muslims.” This woman is certifiable. If it’s that important to her to welcome Jihadists, shouldn’t she be wearing a hijab now? If she really wanted to be a muslim woman, perhaps she should practice first by living in Saudi Arabia for a year. A beating once or twice a day would do well for her reeducation. She might even beg Donald Trump to get her out of there. Naw, he shouldn’t waste his time on silly trivia.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now. go get ‘em! (01/22/17)

Opinion written by George McClellan:

The tatters that is the Democrat party still survives, barely, as the evil antithesis of Constitutional government, morality and decency. For the next four to eight years the total aim of the Democrat Party will be to destroy, delegitimize or render ineffective, anything the Trump administration attempts to do. It will be a hard task, but, It’s for the children, isn’t it?

Thanks to Harry Reid, the Democrats, having little political leverage left, will resort to all manner of tricks to keep their narrative in the publics mind, abetted naturally, by the media. In any event, they will have a tough row to hoe as they have no vision that is truly American or fits within the Constitutional framework Americans demanded in November. But, that’s their problem.

How did they arrive at this unhappy state? I believe it was because their charming, black candidate Barak Hussain Obama, was just that, a candidate, a Democrat in name only. In intelligence trade craft lingo, it was good cover. He allowed the party to go its way, slavishly lingering on the periphery of his marxist leadership. Basically, he ignored the Democrat party and allowed it to atrophy. They didn’t even realize it until after the shock that was Nov. 8th.

Populism swept all that away and ushered in the era of Donald Trump, as a Republican candidate. But, here is the caution: Trump is, and will remain just that, the Republican candidate, pushing ahead with his own vision just like Barak did. He will do so with or without the establishment Republican’s active support. If they don’t catch on they too, ignored and unwanted, will atrophy. Both parties are severely damaged clinging as they do to failed ideas.

The Republicans, however, unlike the Democrats, still have some political leverage because they control the majorities of both houses of Congress. But, they do not have the good will of their voter base. Donald Trump has the “Bully Pulpit” and knows how to use it. It will be a sad fate for the establishment Republicans if they fail to recognize the populist juggernaught that has overwhelmed them and crushed the Democrats. Socialism is endemic but not incurable.

Unenlightened GOP advocates, like John McCain and Lindsay Graham, will still stubbornly cling to their old philosophies of crony conservatism, unfettered immigration, extending the hand of friendship across the aisle, and find value in the Democrats narrative that should be nourished, all in the name of bipartisanship. The comparisons are complete!

Republicans beware! You are still distrusted and the Tea Party activists will start moving their populist message forward, just like the never dead Democrats will try to do. Right now, appears to be the best open window available to start making the changes to enfranchise the Independent conservative Republican movement, the one built on the corpse of the out of date establishment Republican Party. The mechanism is in place, only the people need to be changed. Remember, all politics are local. That’s where populisms greatest strength lies.

And, let’s not forget how Trumps victory is affecting the Democratic world. Populism is sweeping Europe. It started with the Brexit and was confirmed with Trumps victory. The path forward has been revealed and soon, we’ll see the cracks in the EU’s foundation open wider. France, Germany and the Netherlands are right behind. It’s a bright day dawning, but it will not be an easy one. Among our other problems, the fascist forces of Islam still hovers within our midsts and like a cancer, must be cut out and neutralized.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (27 Dec 16)

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Donald Trump is the President. I reckon it’s all over but the shouting and they’ll be a lot of that. Friday, 20 Jan 2017, American history was made that will reverberate in the history books for decades. A single individual who could have as easily been cast as one of the hated 1%er’s forced himself upon the body politic as the savior of the American Dream, the indispensable leader of a Great America and the primary threat to all who represents the corruption in American politics, Lo, these many decades.

We have witnessed the slow encroachment on Americas traditional values by the freedom eroding concepts of multiculturalism and diversity, inclusion and political correctness and we haven’t known how to resist it, until now. Once, we were told resistance was futile. Now, resistance is inevitable while the dark forces of the corrupted class, in danger of being dislodged from their sinecures, tryi to regain their footing to reestablish themselves as necessary to the good functioning of government. We must be prepared to resist a return of the power class. A battle is surely coming. Judging by the vehemence of the street protests, its already begun.

Today, Donald Trump, a very rich New York real estate developer, the antithesis of our ideal of the hard working American, is President. He stood before us and said even he’s had enough, then set about working hard to snatch away the hopes and dreams of the ruling class, our over educated ‘betters’ who seek to rule, not by personal experience and hard work, but because they were taught somebody else’s beliefs (Marx) on the value of labor and who should reap its rewards. It is a renewed battle between Capitalism and Communism, for the moment, leaving the ruling class reeling in confusion. They will comeback. Watch out for the elite GOP too.

Donald Trump is the President! His short inaugural address, derided by the pundents as “dreadful,” short of content and an in your face threat to the existing ways of doing governments business, was a brilliant statement of purpose. We all heard it, loud and clear, even if the pundents and talking heads didn’t. They didn’t like what he said because it didn’t comport to the way things have always been done. They still don’t get it, but we do! Trump didn’t extend an olive branch across the aisle, he threatened their very existence. He told them to do their work on behalf of the American people, not themselves. Dangerous words indeed for an idealistic, novice politician who never held office before.

These are the same people who promised that Trump would never, ever be President, and well, here he is, our President facing his greatest obstacle, actually draining the swamp. We know what that means, and we know the swamp is a bit deeper, muckier and smelly than originally thought. We must help. Much of the far left media focuses their attention on the opinions of the Hollywood Leftist elites. That’s got to be a loser. None of them, not one, that threatened to leave America if Trump won the presidency, seem to have left yet. Why is that? We could help them by not buying tickets to their movies and concerts.

Realistically, we’re in for a rough ride now. The battle is joined, the concepts are clear and the moribund democrat party, leaderless, except for the most vocal of the Marxists within its ranks, will strike out at every opportunity to thwart the Presidents promises to Make America Great Again. It is our duty to help him. The rising tide of optimism sweeping across America is a rich field to be harvested. Every American should carry a copy of our Constitution in their pocket, learn it and use it at every opportunity to reeducate our failing youngsters. That’s where the battle will actually be joined. Prepare yourselves. This battle is not even close to being over.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, Go Get ’em! (21 Jan 2017)

Opinion by George McClellan:

The weeping extent of the resounding defeat of the Democrats in this years elections has raised such an agonizing, painful cacophony from the Left, as to suggest, indeed promise, that the next four years will be very interesting if not eventful. Democrats are very sore losers. They thrive on conflict, but they never, never, ever quit. The fight for America’s soul is joined. Good vs. evil.

I fear the world of “fake news,” hasn’t seen anything yet. Democrats, past masters of deceit, exponents of feckless propaganda, twisted stories, convoluted meanings, outright lies and personal attacks on anybody they don’t like, will be on full view during Trumps administration.

It has already started with a stumbling assault on the Electoral college system by unorganized elements of hateful losers who tried desperately to reverse the tide before time ran out. They couldn’t because, well, time ran out, on that issue at least.

What to do next? Well we already hear leftists promising us that the Democrats are calling up their Storm Troops of dissent, their street thugs, like BLM, and other fellow travelers, to conduct demonstrations at Trumps inauguration, his Inaugural Balls, and any place else they believe they can make a believable statement that Trump stole the election from Hillary. This will go on and on because the media, mired in it own death throes, will continue to spew out the Marxist party line given to them by their masters.

Another piddling example will be a Democrat sponsored, in your face concert to coincide with Trumps inaugural celebrations featuring all the leftists buffoons in the entertainment industry, many no names of any celebrity importance, who pleaded in a TV ad for Electors to vote their consciences and elect Hillary instead of that awful Trump. Ignore the TV presentations.

We will be treated with scammers who plot events that, on the face would be considered churlish, crass, disrespectful and hurtful, but will gain some notoriety. An early example was the attack on Ivanka Trump on a Jet Blue airplane with her family in tow. The headlines screamed  “for exercising his free speech rights the offender was thrown off a Jet Blue flight.” He should have been bloodied first as an object lesson for his disrespect, then thrown off.

I am getting weary of the political correctness crowd that allows idiots to scream and holler and get in our faces without penalty but being accused of a “hate crime,” if one slew the dragon right where he/she stood. The Left’s greatest trick is their ability to set the narrative. Righteous Americans must put an end to that, now. It is time to push back, seize the narrative, and deliver some necessary blows for decency, then move on. If Americans don’t start protecting themselves from these in your face attacks, and do so with prejudice, i.e.: drawing blood, these attacks will never stop, indeed they will get bigger and meaner.  Trust me, they are bullies and bullies won’t ever stop if the victims don’t stop ‘em cold in their tracks.

The remedy is to destroy what’s left of the Democrat Party; Investigate democrat criminal perpetrators and send them to jail. Eviscerate the leftist media by collapse their advertising dollars, Attack their narrative every time it appears in print, on web sites or social media outlets. Do not be afraid to speak out yourselves. As a community, seize back the schools and educate yourselves first. Learn the lessons on civics and history no longer taught in our schools because its not multicultural or diverse. Support “English Only” for everything and let’s help Donald Trump make America great again. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (27 Dec 2016)

Opinion by George McClellan:

Why do the elites stay contemptuous? Why were their polls all wrong? Why is the radical media  always hostile? I think because the American people, who tossed them and the Democrats out on their ears, left the whole establishment in near catatonic shock. The Democrats, who long ere since picked up the mantel of Marxism, expected it would be their destiny to rule forever. Forever is a long time and a populists transition is all too painful for lost ideals.

Now, a month later, not only do the elites remain in catatonic shock with fits of epilepsy and spasms of St. Vitas Dance, but their “fellow travelers” in the entertainment business are slobbering over a slim to none prospect of affecting the “Electoral College” vote to deny Trump his mandate. They act simply on the basis of their celebrity. Time for a change there as well.

The Trump phenomena was an explosive, in your face event full of energy, enthusiasm and real hope. It was a triumph of populism over a government gone mad, out of control, out of ideas, out of energy but not out of oppression. The populist trend that started the Democrat (Marxist) decline began in 2010, grew in the elections of 2012 then, gaining populist strength, overcame the Democrat hegemony in 2014, ending with the Trump coup d’gras, of 2016.

The people saw in Obama’s first term a rising arrogance, confirmed in his second and, penultimately, in Hillary Clinton’s campaign the total, corruption that had risen even above the law’s ability to curb it. That is why the polls didn’t see the explosion coming. The press was and remains, a happy part of that corruption, until Trump of course. They’re not happy now.

Trump has the potential to shift government in profound ways as evidenced by his choices to fill his Cabinet positions. He has successful business people, military generals, people virtually unknown in public but well known for their abilities in their own fields and, despite the anguished cries of the entitled class of the bureaucratic establishment, he will succeed. But, they will stop at nothing to resist the inevitable. So, what can we expect?  We can expect a reversal of the wealth transfer from maker’s to taker’s, by striking out the oppressive rules, regulations and taxes that afflicts us all, especially the Obamacare scheme for wealth redistribution.

Students of history will understand that the socialization of America started in the Roosevelt administration, mostly as make work projects, to feed and house a nation in a depression. It was called the “New Deal,” an era of growth of bureaucratic government, redistributing to a depressed America, the wealth of others. But, it also managed to depress the ideals of self-reliance. It changed optimism for the future to reliance on government. World War II killed the depression, put people back to work and generated wealth building, but it didn’t kill the New Deal. It’s with us today because big government demands it. Bureaucratic government has no reason to exist if it isn’t creating problems that it must solve, using our money, of course.

If Trump succeeds in replacing the “New Deal” model of government that’s been with us since the 1930’s, his place in history is assured. But he must understand, the bureaucratic machine has outlasted other attempts to kill ‘em off and, as citizens, if we do not remain constantly vigilant, the old order, lingering like the stink in a cesspool will slowly reestablish itself and, like a slow growing cancer, in a few years, the next generation will be wondering what happened to them. These generations will not have had the experiences we had. They will not have known of America’s greatness, only what has been taught to them by the leftists still lurking in our several, and many, institutions. We have a lot of cleaning up to do!

Opinion by George McClellan:

Are we having fun yet? The Democrat party has all but been done away with and now it’s the GOP elites turn, if they don’t get Trump first. The “Freedom Caucus” of forty plus Tea Party House Republicans are turning their eyes toward the corrupt mess that still exists within the ranks of the GOP.

It’s been eighteen months since the departure of John Boehner as Speaker and the installation of Rep. Paul Ryan as his replacement. The turmoil among hopefuls jockeying for political sainthood, combined with the long and tedious campaign for power, gave Speaker Ryan breathing room to attempt to mold the House Republicans into a polyglot machine to maintain the status quo. They haven’t learned a thing.

Naturally, not one of the elites, especially those with deep connections inside the beltway, thought for a moment that Donald Trump stood a chance of winning the Primary let alone the General Election. Immediately he did, all was in disarray and, like a 7.0 earthquake, the political landscape was permanently altered and the upheaval became a wonderful sight to behold.

Trumps GOP enemies, reeling in confusion and stunned disbelief, quickly abandoned their own pledge to support the Republican nominee, the very same pledge they attempted to extract earlier from an unwilling Donald Trump. Speaker Ryan, a confirmed elitist, waited until too late to endorse Trump and his creditability as a supporter is now suspect. His term as Speaker may end sooner that he thinks. But, not to worry, Trump is doing what successful business people do, he’s moving on, without Ryan and the GOP. It is now the Freedom Caucus’s turn to help Trump make ‘America Great Again’ and they know it but, they have very little time to act.

First, the House failure to pursue impeachment against IRS Director Koskinin has stirred their ire and suggests a continuation of Boehner’s inept leadership by finding reasons for not doing what Americans want and need, a full accounting of the federal government’s criminal machine under Obama and Clinton and flushing those creatures out of government and into prison. Already the House Leadership talks of delaying the repeal of Obamacare for one, two or maybe even three years. This will not do and one suspects Trump doesn’t think it will either.

Syndicated columnist Ann Coulter, the only media type who was prescient enough to predict in advance that Trump would be President, now complains that Trumps nominees aren’t different enough from what could have been expected from Jeb Bush. She may be right, she often is, however, we must recognize that Trump is not yet President, Obama still is, and so it would be churlish not to speak kindly of the outgoing regime no matter how loathsome it is.

For the Elites who can’t believe that Trump is ignoring them and their Republican platform, it’s time for a mind re-set. Trumps choices for Sec. of Labor, Andy Puzder and Dir. of the EPA, Scott Pruitt, marks an important step in confirming to Americans his promise to drain the swamp.

Finally, the faux fake news about the Russians hacking the DNC and the RNC’s emails, has generate a phony, media organized storm, the purpose of which is to undo the election. The geriatric Sen. McCain and Sen Lindsay Graham were joined by Mitch McConnell to request an investigation into alleged Russian hacking. A storm in a tea cup and nothing more. They can’t abide a Trump presidency and the Left can’t believe they were rejected. So, what to do? Discredit Trump even before he takes the oath of office. Remember, freedom is the goal, the constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (12 Dec 2016)

Opinion written by George McClellan:

The push is on to legalize marijuana in America and a few states have already complied with the demand. They are in violation of Federal Law, specifically the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act.

The Harrison Narcotics Tax Act was approved by Congress on 17 December, 1914, 102 years ago. It involved “a special tax on all persons who produce, import, manufacture, compound, deal in, dispense, sell, distribute, or give away opium or coca leaves, their salts, derivatives, or preparations, and for other purposes.” (to include marijuana). States and communities who permit the growing, sale and manufacturing of MJ products do so in violation of this Act.

The Controlled Substances Act (CSA), is Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. It is the legal foundation upon which the government’s desperate fight against the abuse of drugs and other substances, i.e.: “The War on Drugs,” is waged.

The Controlled Substance Act, is the statute prescribing US federal drug policy under which the manufacture, importation, possession, use and distribution of certain substances is regulated in an effort to categorize regulated drugs based on their potential for abuse.

However, the War on Drugs has exceeded its original intent fostering the growth of organized crime, causing the militarization of police departments that are now filling up our prisons with non-violent offenders, as well as providing excuses for the unconstitutional confiscation of a persons money and property by the enforcers, not the courts. Once seized it’s seized forever.

Government grows on itself and so long as a law exists allowing government to felonize simple marijuana use, the social fabric of America will be further weakened than it is today. Too, local police, conducting actions contrary to the 4th and 5th amendments of the constitution, are basically moving away from their original mission which is to protect and serve.

The Federal Law Enforcement bureaucracy has grown exponentially as a result, spending more and more of the tax payers money just to stay in business. Alarmed at the soaring coat of drug enforcement, states have allowed police departments to confiscate peoples cash and property, often on manufactured pretext, so as to help defray the cost of their subjugation.

The Harrison Narcotics Tax act is, in fact a “Tax Act.” It should be enforced that way or done away with. I see, as a suitable enforcement solution, an idea that utilizes that singular fact, that it is indeed a tax. For example, an officer stops a driver for erratic driving and it turns out he is under the influence of marijuana. He’s arrested, same as a drunk driver besotted with alcohol (a legal substance by the way), and is taken to jail. Normal procedure. Here’s the enforcement difference. The arresting officer should also demand of the arrestee proof he paid his tax. Lacking that, the offender would face an additional and separate offense, tax evasion, a job for the local tax department to work out.  A drunk driver will have already paid tax on his bottle of alcohol so, why cannot this same enforcement action be applied to marijuana users as well?

Finally, every police investigation into the growing of marijuana should include the tax man, not SWAT teams. It’s time to think out of the box. This damn war on drugs is stealing away our rights and our liberties. They must be protected. Note, I speak only about marijuana even though all evidence shows it does cause lasting harm on users minds. More on this later.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way, now, go get ‘em! (3 Dec 2016)

Opinion by George McClellan:

The euphoria sweeping the ranks of the GOP upon Trumps election must be tempered with common sense, a commodity sorely lacking in Washington politics, especially the Republicans. Please note that Speaker Paul Ryan did not get a unanimous vote from his caucus for the Speakership, but in his happy talk to the press, surrounded by fawning congressmen and women smiling for the photo op, he said one of the most alarming things I heard for awhile.

Ryan posited a return to the corrupting program of political favoritism, “earmarks,” so beloved of the elite class and hated by the taxpayers. It’s also called “Pork-Barrel” spending and is damaging because it corrupts. If Ryan wants to be the author of the GOP’s plan to follow the DNC into political oblivion, then, by all means he should push ahead for that program.

Be alarmed Republican voters, because Trump’s populist victory, expressly to drain the swamp and stymie the evident corruption ruining our government, is in real danger of being derailed by the Establishment elites, if we let them. We expect competent, honest government, we want it and by damn, if it doesn’t happen we can sweep the GOP away too.

Beware also of complacency. It’s deadly to the process and politicians know it. Here’s a message the GOP should heed: long serving Florida Republican Congressman, John Mica, (22 years), failed in his reelection bid to ride either Trump’s or Rubio’s coattails to Florida election victory because he specifically and proudly, endorsed a return to congressional earmarks. He lost to a Democrat in a district that otherwise went totallyTrump. John Mica was a GOP pillar of corruption and to save his position, his district was gerrymandered to make his re-election assured. Well, he lost!  How’s that for a special kind of stupid?

Younger readers may wonder what “earmarks” are. The short definition is they are legalized political bribery, a mechanism that allows the House Speaker to legislatively direct taxpayer funds to individual members in turn for votes favorable to another member or favored programs. A congressman then, theoretically, gets to spend the earmarked money in his district making his voters happy thus reassuring his reelection in the next campaign. It’s the old “Bridge to Nowhere” scam. It’s corruption!

The Tea Party put an end to the practice and now comes Paul Ryan wanting to reintroduce it to our congress. That folk’s, is the swamp that Trump wants to drain. Our own 9th District Congressman, the Hon. Mr. Doug Collins, has proudly announced his elevation to a position in the House leadership conference somewhere at the fifth level of importance. That might be important to Mr. Doug Collins, but it has no importance to me except to remind me that in politics, leadership positions are ego feeders that rewards those who go along to get along. Corruption is the handmaiden of fiscal mischief.

It alerts me also, to closely watch the voting record of my Congressman and act accordingly. I suggest everyone add GovTrack.us to their bookmarks and keep up with the voting record of your Senator and Congressmen. Complacency will kill us. That this idea still lurks in the incubator of political favoritism and was exposed so easily by the House Speakers off the cuff comment, should alert all voters that Trumps victory is not all inclusive and Trumps path to draining the swamp, is strewn with land mines, traps and extreme dangers.

I am hopeful. Christie, an establishment type along with Mike Rogers, are both gone. That’s just the start. Actually, we can’t afford the old ways. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, got  get ‘em. (18 Nov 2016)

Opinion written by George McClellan:

The controversy about Trump’s tweeting attacks on people who attack him and his willingness to do so outside old normal channels of political discourse (WH Press Corp), are leaving an indelible mark on the communicators who were once our only sources of knowing what was happening in the news. Modern technology, i.e.: the internet, smart phones, Facebook and Twitter accounts, have swept all that away. It’s catch as catch can in recording what’s really news in today’s world, what’s the truth and what’s a lie?

The old broadcast media outlets, ABC, NBC, CBS, and cable news starter CNN, have been exposed for the charlatans they have long been, as purveyors of fake news, lies, and story’s designed simply to keep the population alarmed and the socialists in office. There is no prevarication they are not willing to embrace to keep their movement moving.

CNN commentator Maria Cardona, speaking of Trump, said : “He think it’s somebody else’s fault that we’re not united.” Well, duh, isn’t it? Trump wasn’t in the drivers seat the past eight years, Obama was. Trump didn’t launch the Black Lives Matter movement against law and order, Obama did. Trump didn’t disrespect the thin blue line causing the ambush murders of police officers, Obama did. Trump didn’t ignore his own “red line” warning, Obama did, Trump didn’t sell guns to Mexican criminal gangs, Obama did. Whose fault could it possibly have been?

Trump doesn’t go into office expecting to win over ‘skeptics’ either. He ran for office to rescue a once proud and successful America, and return it to its original glory. It doesn’t matter any more. He has invited everyone to come along with him, especially Americans of African descent, to join him in fulfillment of their dreams, not the dreams of Obama’s father. “What do you have to lose?” he asked them. By the way, ”skeptics” are simply democrat politicians and liberal voters who cannot accept that their candidate, Hillary Clinton, could have possibly lost the election.

Cardona complains that Trumps cabinet is filled with rich white people. She means, it lacks diversity and necessary aspects of multiculturalism required by socialists. Of course that’s true. Diversity and multiculturalism have made no money, provided no jobs, created no wealth, sustained no population outside of poverty levels and created no new ideas to move our country forward except by top down control and dependency on government.

Rich white people are in his cabinet because they are rich. That means they are successful. They know how to create prosperity for everyone who wants to chance it. The dependency state created by Democrats (Progressive Liberals) has nearly bankrupted America. Social Security is $32 trillion dollars in the hole. How can that program possibly be sustained? It cannot.

So, watch a businessman who recognizes the differences between assets and liabilities, make serious moves to fix our economic problems. And, it will hurt too. That’s why rich white people make up the majority of Trumps cabinet. Dr. Ben Carson, the exception, is a brilliant man, a survivor of poverty and a single parent family and an achiever in his own right. He rightly takes his place in Trumps rich white peoples cabinet. Herman Cain should be there too!

Reps. Barbara Lee of California and John Lewis of Georgia have said they will “boycott” Trumps inauguration. No, they won’t! The inauguration has nothing to sell, so a boycott isn’t what they will do. They simply won’t be there, by their choice, and they certainly won’t be missed.  Maybe they can join the losers rabble who intend to disrupt Trumps inauguration ceremony and parade.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (16 Jan 2017 am).
