Trump – An Ignorant President

Donald Trump obviously is not on his game with North Korea. Why did he just expect North Korea to disarm its nuclear arsenal just by his demands? Does he not realize that North Korea has always believed that they have just as much right to nuclear weapons as the United States does? If Kim Jong Un gives up his weapons now, he will be considered weak by his own people. He has spent too much of his time and money to develop his nuclear arsenal, and the only person who doesn’t see that is the most ignorant President in U.S. history, Donald J. Trump.
There is ONLY one way that Trump will disband North Korea from nuclear weapons. The United States would have to start a war, but the result would be thousands upon thousands of casualties just within the first 15 minutes, according to many reputable sources. North Korea would not have to use its nuclear arsenal to cause severe damage. Kim Jong Un can use the regular ground to ground artillery against its southern neighbor. When it came down to war, who would South Korea side with? Since the long outstanding war between the North and the South has been dissolved by a recently written treaty by both presidents – North and South Korea, the Americans would solely be the blame if an outbreak of war began with casualties in the south.
The whole world witnessed North Korea free the only three prisoners from the United States within the last month. The whole world witnessed the North and South Korean presidents shake hands and sign a treaty, officially ending the war between the North and South. The whole world is witnessing the threats made by Donald Trump against the North Korean President, even after he freed the prisoners and signed a treaty. They even agreed to dismantle one of their nuclear facilities. But that wasn’t enough for Donald Trump. He obviously is not a president that has the skills to negotiate with a dictator such as Kim Jong Un. Prove of that is when he ripped up the nuclear treaty with Iran. Proving that Donald Trump is the disrupter, he tries to destroy NAFTA, and now has harmed Planned Parenthood, taking no consideration of what good Planned Parenthood actually does. They provide screenings and care for women who cannot afford to go to doctors and hospitals. But the recent presidential action he as signed without the US Congress will severely limit the ability for women to get their services from Planned Parenthood. Donald Trump does not care about the lives of these women.
Going back to the subject of North Korea, my bet is that Trump and Kim Jung Un will NEVER meet, as now even ignorant Donald Trump realizes that the North Korean dictator will NEVER give up his nukes. Trump needs to understand that North Korea already has nukes, and it’s too late to prevent the North Koreans from producing them. They have now considered a nuclear power whether Donald Trump likes it or not. Still, Trump continues to threaten North Korea, and demand that they give up their nukes.
Only Donald Trump most likely is the ONLY person on the face of this earth that doesn’t recognize that making him one of the most ignorant people on the face of this earth.

Trump and Cohen Coverup

Anyone following the Stormy Daniels case along with her attorney Michael Avenetti has been following the more recent developments involving her attorney with respect to a man that paid her $130,000 to keep her silence regarding an affair she had with president Trump.

Below is a timeline of events since the beginning….

In January of 2015, Donald Trump marries his present wife and first lady, Melania.

Back in March of 2006, their son Barron Trump was born.

Just 4 months later, Trump has an affair with the porn-star named Stormy Daniels whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. which continued well in 2007.

Four years after the affair in 2011, she was approached by a man that warned her to stay silent about the affair.
A man threatened her with a statement similar to this “Oh it’s a beautiful little girl, would be a shame if something happened to her mom. Forget about this story, leave Mr. Trump alone.”

The money flowing begins just days before the November 2016 election as Michael Cohen pays Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep her quiet. This story was told to by untrue by Trump’s spokeswoman named Hope Hicks.

In June of 2017, Trump disclosed his personal finances with no listed debt to Michael Cohen.

Almost 7 months later, The Wall Street Journal claimed that Michael Cohen made arrangements with Clifford back in October of 2017. Michael Cohen states the payment was lawful.

About this time her attorney Michael Avenetti shows up on a scene with a Story Daniels lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court in an attempt to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement that apparently only Michael Cohen signed, but not the president. Meanwhile, Trump claimed that none of the allegations are true.

On March 25th, 2018, Stormy Daniels has an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes, as she mentions that she was threatened to keep silent.

Just 10 days later on April 5th, Trump tells reporters getting ready for a flight on Air Force One that he did not know about the payment made to Stormy Daniels by Michael Cohen. Trump mentions when asked why Cohen made a payment to her, he claims, “I don’t know”.

Then Michael Cohen himself takes a big hit and is now facing a criminal investigation of his own in New York, as on April 9, 2018 Federal agents raid his office and his hotel room and his home, while seizing many records on different things, including the recorded payment to Stormy Daniels.

On April 26th, while in a phone interview with “Fox & Friends” from the Fox News Channel, Trump reinserts that he didn’t know about the Cohen payments but that Cohen did represent him in what he called the “crazy Storm Daniels deal.”

Just one month later, the former Mayer of New York Rudy Giuliani, who was hired by Trump to now be one of his lawyers, blurts out on Fox News to host Sean Hannity that Trump actually reimbursed Michael Cohen for the $130,000 that Cohen paid Stormy Daniels, which confirms Trumps lie in the past that on April 25th, he did not know of a payment to Daniels. Giuliani says the payment was completely legal, but the fact is that Donald Trump was caught in another lie to the American people. Trump comes clean after caught in the lie on May 3, 2018 making a statement on Twitter as he now claimed that he repaid Cohen the $130,000.

Michael Avenatti, the attorney of Stormy Daniels presents evidence against Michael Cohen on ‘The Late Show’. He claimed that the case is not normal. He continues to use the media and is confident that he can win the Stormy Daniels case. He also stated on this show that he believes that the president will not serve out his term. The purpose of the case is about the coverup, the lies and deceit by Cohen and the president.

He shows a $130,000 receipt coming from a First Republic bank in California instead of a New York bank on the ‘Late night show’.  If Cohen is charged in the California case, Cohen could not be pardoned by the president. He also claims that Cohen will eventually flip on the president.
He also claims that Trump will step down from office. The FBI seized 16 cell phones and tons of records belonging to Cohen and believes that the president will not be able to stand the heat of the day. Cohen was his personal attorney for approximately 15 years.

In some of the most recent findings of monies tendered by Michael Cohen, it was determined that Avenetti claims a connection of Michael Cohen accepting over $500,000 by a Russian billionaire Oligarch with ties to Putin. Besides that payment, he received more money from AT&T in an attempt to receive possible favors from Donald Trump. Avenetti claims that Cohen misled officials with lies about receiving the money. Michael Avenetti claimed in a published 7-page document that from October of 2016 through January of 2018, that Michael Cohen’s consulting firm called ‘Essential Consultants, LLC’ “engaged in suspicious financial transactions totaling $4,425,033.46.” The payment included a $500,000 payment from a Russian Oligarch named Viktor Vekselberg with a US company called ‘Columbus Nova’. He used part of those funds to pay Stormy Daniels the infamous “hush money” to keep her quiet. After the payment was made, it was believed that Vekselberg replenished the account following the payment to Miss Clifford. A spokesman for Viktor Vekselberg and Renova Group also stated the following..”Neither Viktor Vekselberg nor Renova Group has ever had any contractual relationship with Mr. Cohen or essential Consultants. As to relationship between Columbus Nova and Mr. Cohen you have to ask Mr. Andy Intrater, because Columbus Nova is a company owned and managed by him.”
Michael Avenetti also stated that there were several payments by other LLC’s to Cohen’s firm in late 2017 and early 2018. These payments included $300,902 from a company called Novartis, a pharmaceutical company, and $200,000 from AT&T but then the story was revised to state that AT&T paid Cohen allot more. AT&T now acknowledges the facts, but also now state that they should have never paid the money to Cohen, as he was never going to give them the information that they needed. It is well known now that the reason why AT&T paid Cohen to get some information about Trump, but to also maybe convince the president that he should put his blessing on the upcoming possible merger with Time Warner, in which Trump actually previously stated that he did not approve of the deal. Time Warner is presently being sued by the Justice department.
The bottom line, if Michael Cohen is convicted of crimes, he can spend decades in jail if the payments are found to be illegal, and it is possible that Trump will not be able to help him. He could face bank fraud as he may have lied on his forms with an FDIC insured bank, not to mention that he knows that he is taking money from someone that he knows to be Russian, so then he may be accused and convicted as acting as a foreign agent.
Michael Cohen is hanging low these days, but his silence now will not save him from the courts that most likely will convict him. He’s always stated that he would do anything for Donald Trump. What I really expect him to do is to turn on Trump to save his own skin.

Gasoline Prices going up thanks to Donald Trump

People are asking, “WHY NOW” for Donald Trump to crack down on Iran. This oil rich nation happens to be the world’s fifth-biggest oil producer. It is known why gas prices fell in 2006 when the nuclear agreement was struck with Iran. They ramped up their oil production by 1 million barrels per day after the sanctions were lifted in 2016. But what is going to happen now? But instead we should be asking why gasoline prices have gone up considerably within recent weeks prior to the U.S. pulling out the the Iranian Nuclear agreement. Crude oil topped $70 for a barrel this week for the first time since 2014. Because of increased oil prices, the cost of gasoline has gone up to an average of $2.81 when it was only an average of $2.34 twelve months ago.
So thank you Donald Trump. You have successfully taken away the tax break dollars that you gave to Americans with your flawed tax bill. The average for a barrel of oil will not go down any time soon thanks to Trump, and the gasoline pumps will reflect the upward trend in oil prices.
Saudi Arabia will take advantage of Trump’s actions. They claim that they are “committed to supporting the stability of oil markets.” But so far, they haven’t been able to keep gasoline prices down.
Another factor that will drive up the cost of oil and the price of gasoline are the tensions that are now brewing between Iran and Israel. Iran may attack Israel, and when that happens, gasoline prices will go up again.
The nuclear deal caused oil production to go up from 2.9 million barrels of oil per day in January 2016, to 3.9 barrels a day in April 2017.
There are other sources of oil to manufacture gasoline, but it will take time for other production such as US shale production to replace what is now readily available from Iran. There is a major surge brewing in what is considered America’s biggest oilfield, known as the Permian Basin, but that production will not be ready for another year.

So much for the plan of protecting American consumers of gasoline who depend on the oil from outside of the United States.

Mike Pence – The worst person in government?

 

George Will this week from the Washington Post in his opinion states that…

“Trump is no longer the worst person in government”. He writes that “Trump is what he is,  a floundering, inarticulate jumble of gnawing insecurities and not-at-all compensating vanities, which is pathetic. Pence is what he has chosen to be, which is horrifying.”

Trump is not alone when it comes to the ridiculous operations of the White House. It has been reported and there is ample evidence that Vice President Pence is just as bad as Donald Trump. On Thursday of this week, Mike Pence told Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC in an interview that it is time for Robert Mueller, special counsel for the Russia investigation, to “Wrap it up”.
Really?!!! How convenient. This Republican administration expected that the Mueller investigation would have been over by December of 2017, but thanks to the help of Donald Trump’s recent acquired counsel of Rudy Giuliani, the council will go on. Rudy Giuliani continuously says things on public TV that hurts the Trump case and helps the Mueller investigation, so I don’t know why Robert Mueller would stop now. It is my opinion that Mueller will continue with his investigation process well past the midterm elections this November. In the meantime, Rudy Giuliani is now part of the Trump attorney team to help end the Mueller investigation, starting with a possible firing of the Attorney General Rosenstein. There will be more to come here on someone who claims to be Trump’s attorney – Michael Cohen. It looks as if the president and his lawyers are making wild attempts to get Mueller taken down. Meanwhile, Trump knows that he has the power to just fire Rosenstein and get an Attorney General sworn in that would fire Robert Mueller, but it will be for a political price and also can work against him in an obstruction of justice case. Even though Trump claims he would never fire Mueller, everyone who has been following the Russia investigation with Mueller and the president seems to think that this may be Trump’s only choice. Why? Because eventually Mueller will get to Trump and ask him to testify in the Russia investigation. Everyone also knows that Trump will not willingly do that even though he spreads the lie that he will interview with Mueller if he is asked. None of his lawyers would allow it even if Trump is forced to testify. Before that happens,  the case would be determined by the Supreme Court. Then Trump will testify as he will have no choice.

Also, the U.S. Congress who seems to back the president in everything that he does, most likely will turn against him if Rosenstein or Mueller are fired.

But in the meantime, you have the Vice-President of the United States, Mike Pence, wishing that the investigation would end. He claims that Trump is a man of his word and a man of action. He totally supports the president.

But in a column from

But even more of an explanation of Mike Pence, on MSNBC – Nicole Wallace’s show, asked a longtime Republican political operative Steve Schmidt who is a frequent visitor on MSNBC, stated the following…

“He is a titanic, and I mean a titanic fraud. We’ve listened to this guy for many many years in this country and his moral high horse, assaulting the dignity of gay people, across the board. His moral preening is famous across the land, yet he is the most obsequious of all of Trump’s cultists in the Cabinet. There have been occasions, as George Will points out, Pence would speak of Trump in front of Trump, Pence complements him in an average of every 3.2 seconds. We have never seen such slobbering servility by a high government official in this country than we do with Mike Pence and Donald Trump. It is amazing.”

To think that this is what the country will have as president someday when Mueller takes down the president the new 46th President of the United States, Mike Pence. But it is what it is. You would think that Pence suspects that he may be President of the United States someday, but when he totally supports a president like Donald Trump, how successful could he ever be when the time comes. Of course, you would expect that the Vice-President of the United States would be totally behind his boss, the president. But it is a no-win situation for him.

While Pence was in the US Congress, he had several different views and did not support all the views of  Donald Trump, but now for some reason, his views are now exactly like Donald Trump. He does not stand on his own. Mike Pence is Donald Trump’s muppet. He will do and say what he is told, even though in his heart he may not truly believe what he has to say or do. Mike Pence could help guide the president, especially when it came to world affairs, like studying the Iranian Nuclear Agreement a little more before pulling out like Trump did this week. Donald Trump’s presidency is now officially a total disaster as he made the worst mistake in his presidency when he pulled out of the Iranian Nuclear Agreement not with just Iran but the P5 +1 and the EU. Mike Pence’s tenure as Vice-President is now scorched by his insistent following of the disgusting deeds of Donald Trump,

Trump Pulls out of the Iranian Nuclear Deal

Donald Trump had decided that now was the time to keep another campaign promise, and that was to unilaterally blow up the Iranian Nuclear Agreement, which was agreed to by the P5 +1 countries, while Iran agreed on the framework to make this deal. In exiting the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, otherwise known as the JCPOA, he has single-handedly potentially triggered a new crisis in the Gulf. The governments that Donald Trump single-handedly went against in his retraction of the nuclear agreement are Iran, Russia, the United Kingdom, Oman, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, the Holy See and finally the European Union.

The European Union consists of the following countries… Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.

In other words, Donald Trump has single-handedly decided to violate the agreement that many developed countries have agreed to. He has also re-instituted sanctions that were lifted when President Barack Obama and Iran agreed to the deal. There is no indication that any country could state that Iran broke the agreement that would initiate Trump’s actions. It appears to be purely a campaign promise that he needed to keep for his base supporters. Nevertheless, it’s turned out to be his biggest mistake of his presidency.

People in power during Obama’s term as president think Donald Trump’s actions is his biggest mistake since he became president. John Brennan, the former CIA Chief under Barack Obama stated the following on Twitter after Trump’s announcement to pull out of the deal ”This madness is a danger to our national security”. In a tweet, he also stated that “Today, Donald Trump simultaneously lied about the Iranian nuclear deal, undermined global confidence in US commitments, alienated our closest allies, strengthened Iranian hawks, and gave North Korea more reason to keep its nukes.” He also states that it “puts us at odds with the world’s major powers and is a danger to our national security.” President Obama also chimed in, deciding not to stay silent as he has in the past about Trump’s actions as president. Obama wrote “In a democracy, there will always be changes in policies and priorities from one administration to the next. But the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding America’s credibility to the rest of the world”  What Trump has done is totally undermine Obama after 18 months working on the nuclear agreement with Iran and other nations in 2014 and 2015.

It is being reported by Eli Okun, a rising senior studying international relations at Brown University where he works as the editor-and-chief of the Brown Daily Herald, states that Iran still wants “to preserve the deal during a limited period of talks with its other signatories, China, France, Russia, Germany, Britain, and the European Union.

It is unknown as to what Trump expects to gain by pulling out of this agreement with Iran. He definitely has less bargaining power with Iran, and leaves the door open for Iran to eventually drop out of the agreement and start manufacturing centrifuges again to produce more nuclear fuel for bombs.

Sanctions will be re-instituted against Iran within a period of 90 to 180 days as Trump claims that Iran is building a nuclear program, but he has supplied no evidence of facts that this is true. The fact is that Iran has acted in compliance with the nuclear agreement. Other European allies such as Germany, France and the UK said that they plan to continue abiding by the agreement, in hopes that Iran will continue to work with them without the United States.

Donald Trump – A Sorry Representation of President

I have been silent over the last several months in an attempt to see if the President of the United States would ever act like a President. Sadly, I am to report that the leader of the free world is not the leader of the free world that I know. He is looked down on by many leaders of the free world. He lies continuously.  With just 1 year plus a 2 months in office, Mr. Trump has belittled just about anyone and everyone that has disagreed with him on anything, even his own government. He has the lowest approval rating of ANY president in U.S history. From this point on, I will refer to the 45th President of the United States, as “president”, not “President” or “my president“.   Donald Trump tries to rule with an iron fist and never admits fault, compared to President Obama who admitted fault, and who truly was the leader of the free world whom everyone around the world respected, even Vladimir Putin. The Russian president may not have agreed with him on mostly anything, but at least Putin and Obama knew where they stood with each other and had an awkward respect for one another. This thing between Trump and Putin is almost like a ‘love fest’. How pitiful our president is, someone who couldn’t even properly respect the victims of the Florida shooting. After all the gun violence, he and his Congress refuse to put up any bans on guns and condemn the shooter. Instead he continues to state that the shooter named Cruz must have mental issues

Well, the fact is that Donald Trump, IS unequivocally the most hideous president of ALL-TIME, and continues to live up to his most pitiful representation of a U.S. President. It was proven over the weekend with Bob Mueller’s indictment of 13 Russians over the weekend that it proves the conspiracy theory’s and that the Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election was not “FAKE NEWS”. Donald Trump constantly calls out about the reporting of the news media. It was a “hoax” as he calls it referring to the Russians involvement into the 2016 elections. How biased can a president be? So biased and favored towards Russia, president Trump will never call out the Russians with interference in our general election. Well, as a previously registered Democrat and a supporter of liberals, Donald Trump has only not abandoned ship and the ideals that everyone believed that he lived by, but now represents the Republicans as their president. He is supposed to be the leader of the Republicans? For the most part, the Republican Congress support him and back him in just about everything. They have become co-conspirators to his actions. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, the leaders of the House and Senate, are totally complicit in the actions of this sorry display as president.

The basis of this website from it’s inception is to reflect on president Trump’s decisions made in office. For the last several months, I have been complacent in providing updates. But this president cares for no-one, and only is concerned about himself. I can no longer sit back and just watch him destroy this country day by day without showing how culpable he truly is.

The office of the President of the United states is a place of moral leadership, and Donald J. Trump does not have ANY morals. In other serious news on the president, a second woman came out with allegations of sexual interaction with him while married to the First Lady Melania Trump. How long does the First Lady put up with her cheating husband? In his quest to become the most hated U.S. president in history, ee continuously tries to convey that it is O.K. to govern with fear instead of hope. He is totally unfitting to be the President of the United States. What he does, matters. But in his eyes, what he does is great and he can do no wrong, instead, he is defensive, self-serving, and his incorrect defenses  are most  indefensible. Everyone except the president actually knows that what he does from day to day belittles our country. What an ignorant person he truly is.

How much longer will this country put up with such a sadistic president? How much longer can the U.S. Congress support him.? He surely will take a beating in the mid-term elections along with most Republicans that support him, including Russian evidence with interference in the election that he never wants to put an end to. He has done nothing to prevent further attacks in our mid-term election this year. Mark my words here. Before the end of his third year in office if he lasts that long, he will be impeached, most likely by the House, not necessarily the Senate,  and this body of governing representatives will gain a Democratic majority in 2018. It is unknown if the Senate will swing to become a Democratically controlled body, but if it were ever to happen,  this president WILL be ousted from office. The Republican controlled Congress does not have the guts to disagree with this president now since they are in majority. But in 2018, I can tell you now that the Democratic wave is coming and the U.S. Congress will turn against Trump after the mid-term elections.   

Regarding Russia, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are the only two people that disagree Russia meddled in the 2016 election. But the rest of the world thinks differently, including the U.S. Justice Department, the CIA, the FBI, the Director of National Intelligence, the NSA, the Senate intelligence committee, also including H.R. McMaster and Senator Chuck Grassley, Ben Sass and many more. With the condemnation and indictments of 13 Russians by Bob Mueller, the president still will not admit Russian interference. Both the House and Senate created a bill and sent it to the president to sign for further sanctions against Russia, but he refused to sign it, even though Congress voted mutual consensus that the Russians interfered. Trump continues to protect Russia. The question is WHY?  What does Putin have over Trump?

The Twitter storm over the weekend regarding Mueller’s findings, proves the presidents melt down over the Russian investigation. There is no precedent for his actions, and what we are witnessing today I can predict will in the future never happen again. Trump has singularly destroyed what the office of President of the United States represents.

The Upcoming Government Shutdown Vote May be the Showdown to Protect ObamaCare

I was at work at 3AM this morning when the House of Representatives passed H.R.1, the ‘Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’ and couldn not believe they would approve of such a vote. Where were the Republicans that voted againt ObamaCare repeal who were responsible for the failure of the Republican healthcare insurance law that never got off the ground. Where was Maine Senator Susan Collins and Senator John McCain who helped defeat the Senate’s more comprehensive Obamacare repeal bill this past summer?  Maybe they cut a deal with the Republican majority that would make up the difference in their minds for now repealing the Healthcare individual mandate.

Susan Collins, along with a Democratic Senator Bill Nelson of Florida may now get their bill passed together that would aim to lower insurance premiums on the exchanges by helping insurers cover their costliest patients. Susan Collins most likely will now push the stalled bipartisan Obamacare stabilization bill to offset the repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate, which requires almost ALL Americans to get health insurance or pay a penalty. This bill may be part of the resolution to keep the government running, and if the Republicans do not go for it, then we may have the shutdown. Both Collins and Nelson also want to lower insurance premiums on the exchanges by helping insurers cover their costliest patients. So where do you think they may sneak in that bill? I think it would have to be in effect fairly quickly, and the bill may be included in the upcoming continuing resolution to fund the government. Let’s see if I’m right on this one.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Passes in the U.S Senate

The U.S. Senate passed H.R. 1, as the ‘Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’ passed in the house 51 votes ‘for’ and 49 votes ‘against’. The voting went ALL Republican and NO Democrats. Obviously, this was not a bi-partisan bill, as the Republicans would have been hard pressed to get any Democratic votes. Still, there was one Republican who voted against the measure, and that was Senator Bob Corker. The Senate approved a $1.4 Trillion tax overhaul at 3AM today along with sneaking into the bill,  the repeal of Obamacare personal mandates. Whatever happens to Obamacare now, may now be called ‘TrumpCare’ as now millions of Americans may loose their medical insurance without the mandates in place. Something else must happen to save people from loosing health insurance. So much for decreasing the national debt. The Republicans are no longer the so debt hawks as they previously professed to be. They will be responsible for increasing the national debt. They are increasing the national debt by over a trillion dollars. President Donald Trump should be very happy that he has given extensive tax cuts to the rich including himself even though he publicly denies it, at the expense to low and average income families, as they will pay more taxes then they did before the passage of this bill. At the same time, he now has to watch his back, as I expect several Senators will now turn against him, as they only needed him to sign off on this bill as soon as they can get it to his desk, which most likely will be sometime before Christmas. The Republicans will not need him anymore. Now they can invoke the 25th Amendment and Vice President Pence can take over the presidency. They would be very happy with a President Pence as they watched this man gavel into law as the head of the Senate their new tax bill that gives them along with their friends, the richest Americans, immediate tax cuts.

There is one thing that President Trump may not know, or that he is just so naive to know. The members of the U.S. Congress, the same Republicans who originally did not want him to be the next President, who voted for another person to become president, now line up with him but why? I don’t believe that they are doing it out of respect even if many of them have questions about his demeanor, his grip on reality and don’t show concern about his mental health at this time. They are ignoring the symptoms that Trump displays every day. I believe  it is happening to him because of his constant threats and pressure he is facing with special council Robert Mueller pushing on with his pursuit of investigating the people surrounding Donald Trump prior to the election and after. More and more people believe that Donald Trump is becoming very mentally unstable. With the admission of guilt just yesterday of Mike Flynn admitting guilt as he lied to the FBI, Trump has never been more threatened than now. General Michael Flynn received a fairly lenient plea deal, most likely for what he told special council about the Trump campaign. But my guess is that Flynn is doing so to save his own hide, so most likely he may have been co-operating with the special council for some time now and there is more dirt to stir up against the Trumps, including Kushner, Donald Trump Jr. and the President himself.

Why does the U.S. Congress support him? It’s not that Trump continues to throw insults against them, not his racist re-tweets, or even his very erratic behavior. Why do they not care that he got into office with the help of a foreign power? Deep in their souls, they all believe that. You might even ask why they support him so much regardless of how he degrades the office he represents, the Presidency of the United States. It became crystal clear when the Senate voted for a bill that raises taxes on working Americans in order to reduce taxes on the rich and with corporations. If President Obama were still president, you would just know that he would refuse to sign such a bill favoring the super rich immediately cutting their taxes, while immediately raising taxes for middle class working Americans and the poor. But again as I see it, the U.S. Congress only needed him to support a bill such as this that he would sign. Now, do you think that they need him any more? Time will tell as special council Robert Mueller’s investigation snow-balls and whether the senators stick with Trump or not, but I truly believe that they will start peeling from him and it will be the beginning of the end for Trump. It may very well,  spell the end for the Senators who voted for the bill. This may be the only way that they may now try and save themselves from their own constituents, which would be to get rid of Donald Trump. The Senators all know that they will be facing stunning defeats in the House and the Senate and that many may loose their jobs.

During the next several months, the fallout of such a vote will be heard nationwide. Town halls will denounce every single Republican that voted for the tax bill. Ironically, the only sitting Republican Senator now that may have a chance to hold his job in Congress is the single Senator, Bob Corker, who does not plan to run for office for another term.

The Democrats, now have so much to run on, and I doubt that any sitting Republican senator now has a chance to keep his own seat. Only time will tell, as the Democrats will rub this vote into their faces for the next year until the mid-term elections. Everyone may have been tired about listening about the Republicans complaining constantly about Hilary Clinton’s emails, but now they will have to hear the constant outcry from not only the Democrats about their disastrous vote on taxes that in every respect also repeals ObamaCare, along with the constant outcry from most Republican voting Americans who most likely will vote against their own party in 2018. The midterms should now represent a windfall for the Democrats, and they should easily reclaim both the Senate and the House with ease.

But wait, this bill is a product of the U.S. Senate. It now has to be ratified by the House of Representatives. As it is written now, the House Republicans may refute the bill as written, and they may have to amend it, thus sending the amended bill back to the Senate. After all of this celebration, the bill may never reach the Presidents desk for signature at least by the end of his first year in office. I say this because House Republicans have to know how signing off on such a bill puts their own jobs in danger.

Personally, I believe that they (the Republicans) will pass it anyway, for the mere fact that if they do not, they will forever own the fact that they never got even a single major legislative decision under their belts the entire 1st year that they totally owned Congress, along with the Executive branch of government. But the effects of the bill which they ratified, will forever haunt them in future elections regardless of whatever good may come out of it, which cannot be much.

Thanksgiving Today, Keep Up HOPE.. Better Days Ahead

Today is Thanksgiving. It is a time to reflect on the year we have just witnessed and to share your hopes and dreams for the upcoming year. In a Washington Post opinion article, written by Dana Milbank, an opinion writer for the Washington Post, an article titled

‘Dear Sara Huckabee Sanders: I’m thankful that Trump has failed’

kind of hits the spot for me.

It can be found at the following link.. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/thank-you-george-w-bush-and-sally-yates/2017/11/21/c6ca7504-cf00-11e7-a1a3-0d1e45a6de3d_story.html?utm_term=.8a76f1690c6b

For me and for many Americans, TRUMP HAS FAILED.

What immediately comes to mind is the millions of Americans that he failed in Puerto Rico. Still, after 2 months after the weather disaster that took down their electrical grid, the majority of people living there still are without power, yet Donald Trump is enjoying  his holiday weekend in his Florida luxury resort called Mar-a-Largo. He stated in his campaign as he used to mock everyone, that he would not be golfing as much or if at all, as he was comparing himself to President Obama. Has he kept his promise. The answer is an outright NO. He has already golfed more times that the prior President has done for the entire time of his 2nd term and he’s been in office now for just under a year.

What I’m thankful for, number 1, is my family. Second for my health. Third for the Lord that I worship. Forth, for my job with IBM and soon to retire, Fifth, to be able to profess my ideas and truths within this publication and others that I write, thanks to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. It prevents Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise of religion, or abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble, or to petition for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights. I’ve never been rich, and never will profess to be. But I am thankful for the life that God has given me. Sure, there has been some ‘ups and downs’, divorces and heartaches. But the saying goes, ‘the third time is the charm’, and I can say without hesitation that being married a third time is ‘a charm’. I feel as if I’m still on my honeymoon.

I don’t think I would ever feel safe until Donald J. Trump is out of office. I pray for our country. Donald J. Trump has taken this country down a road of despair, but now is not the time to give up to oppose everything he does. Mark my words, Donald Trump’s time is coming. I feel sorry for his family, as he is dragging them into the depths of hell with him. I pray for countries like North Korea, as Donald Trump may be responsible for the killing of millions of people if the North Korean leader does react on Donald Trumps threats. I pray for places like Guam, and other places close to North Korea and my wifes home country – the Philippines, with millions of innocent people and of American soldiers who have a good chance of being exterminated if North Korea attacks. Within the boundaries of our own country, I pray for the millions of people who may loose their health insurance because of failed leadership and governance of the 45th President of the United States and the failed U.S. Congress who has yet to pass ANY major legislation to help the people of this country. If Donald Trump does not get his tax bill passed, then he will be forever known as being the first lame duck President after only one year in office. The trouble is that if it is passed the way that it is written now, Obamacare will be pushed into extinction because Senate Republicans have decided to include the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that most people have health insurance into the sprawling tax rewrite, merging the fight over health care with the high-stakes effort to cut taxes. Hopefully the Congress will see the light and Bob Mueller of  the ‘special council’ will be able to enlighten the world all about Donald Trump, starting with displaying his taxes so that the American people can witness what he has been up to within the last 20 years or so. Hopefully the tax bill will fail, thus the beginning of the end of Donald J. Trump.

Trump Endorses Roy Moore for Congress – Needs Moore to Support new Republican Tax Plan

On another trip, this time to go to his Thanksgiving holiday at his Mar-a-Largo estate in Palm Beach, Florida, President Trump made statements about accused pedophile Roy Moore, supporting the accused child molester in his responses to questions. He supports him because Roy Moore stands by his denial of the accusations of women and that there is no proof other than statements by women as he claims who have everything to gain by coming forward and lie. He also supports him because the Republicans cannot afford to loose a Senate seat.

So, this is where the world is today. You have a president who has been accused of sexually harassing approximately 18 women, supporting another man who is running for U.S. Senate as a Republican who has been accused of sexual allegations concerning under aged girls decades ago.

The President seems to have no moral standards. Even his own members of Congress, including the leader of the Senate – Mitch McConnell, believe that Roy Moore should never be a U.S. Congressman along with dozens of other Republican members.  Roy Moore is denying all sexual harassment claims against him. He is running the play-book of Donald Trump and expects to get away with it. The White House in news briefings state that it should be up to the Alabama voters who may put him in the Senate in just a few weeks.

Before the 1st of next year, the President may also get a chance to sign the very controversial tax plan. Everyone agrees that the passage of this bill is critical for Don Trump and the Republican party, because if the bill does not pass, then Donald Trump will have no real legislative wins since he was elected.  The Republicans are willing to sell their souls, and go against the will of their constituents in order to pass tax laws that only the very rich want or can benefit by.  You have Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate that fought President Obama at every turn, complaining that what he was doing was not reducing the Federal deficit.  But now it’s OK that the Republicans will now guarantee that the deficit will greatly increase if the tax bill goes through. And if it does, it will pass at the expense of low and middle class earners, only helping the rich.
