DON TRUMP, character assassination thereof....

We all remember how actress TINA FEY set about destroying Governor Sarah Palin's character in the McCain/Palin run for office. Through the harassment of comedy, her skits  tore down the Governor to a point that the mindless among us MSNBC launches everything but the kitchen sink at him, which in their case, pretty weak.
     Anyway, they're back. This time, Don Trump is the target. Today, the net is loaded with negs courtesy of the Lord of objectivity, the Huffpost, at the controls of Adriana Huffington, butt buddies with Hillary. So take that and run with it.
     The same drek press is still harping on the Melania speech accusing her of swiping whole sections from Obama's prior tome. I thought we  had moved past that, but, then again, MSNBC figures they don't have much to talk about, they'll just keep driving nails in that coffin until we all get bored with it.
     Speaking of Melania and bad press from the internet, they're still banging on about her "NAKED" pictures she had taken when she was a nubile teen age model for a professional shoot for a magazine. She was NOT naked, she was on a professional job, that was about half her life ago, and by the way. BIG DEAL. Think about this. Who would you like to have in the White House helping to entertain visiting dignitaries from Russia, the Middle East, South America and the Pacific Rim?
     Melania Trump? Or somebody who rides a broom to work?
     Oh, the Muslim dad and Mom on the DNC platform? We take nothing away from their pain and suffering. We cannot imagine their anguish, Captain Kahn served us to the maximum doing more than his duty for us. However, statistically, Hillary & Co must have dug deep to find them, Muslim troops represent LESS THAN .0015 % of the entire armed forces from the US on station in the middle east. Grateful though we are that any of them are with us, we offer up thanks for Captain Kahn's sacrifice for our country.
      My point? Mr. Trump did read the Constitution. He and I attended the same Wharton School class and graduated in May `1968. The Constitution was part of the reading material at the time.

CALIFORNIA SOLDIERS BEING "DUNNED" FOR BACK PAY

We have the finest military in the world, the bravest guys and girls in uniform. We have spent decades building up our Armed Forces since the "Jane Fonda" inspired public collapse of confidence of our people in uniform.
      Our public has honored, paid tribute to the fallen each and every time. I say this without reservation. Our current government lags in supporting our fellow volunteers in the service, far behind the voters.
      I am ashamed and embarrassed by press reports out of California that say the Pentagon is going after the soldiers who were asked to re-enlist due to short-falls and were paid bonuses to do so. NOW, THE PENTAGON IS GOING AFTER THE BONUSES, AND FORCING THE GI's TO RETURN THE MONEY.
      Shameful. My anger and resentment knows no bounds. I think we should all contact our Congressional representative and lodge a protest.  How are we ever to encourage continued enlistments while stabbing loyal soldiers in the back like this?

" YOU ARE A GOOD FATHER FOR MY SON" she wrote to me. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

That was the first time in nearly 20 years I'd heard that. After a ruinous divorce involving a landslide of alcohol, acrimony, poisoned daughters that ran from me, damaged and broken, I left alone, weighing 18 years of senseless family life.
    A total waste. The kids, the girls now huddled in bomb craters somewhere, were secured in helmets, accusations flying, it was ugly for a couple of years. My father hauled me aside with unusually harsh advice, "I'm not going to be around forever, so here it is - I'd think long and hard before I'd let those kids back into MY life ever again. They really stabbed you in the back."
    Years pass, wounds fester, slowly heal, memories form lumps, some cover over, then, finally, gone.
    My wife and I form new relationships here in our town a woman and her 20 year old son, Joe. He and I pal around together. As I age, I can do less and less, but I'm a fountain f experience and I need his brains, brawn and cheerfulness. He needs companionship, absent a father. I'm missing a son.
     What an opportunity. I taught school for years, college, too. It seemed to naturally for me, getting along with people, and Joe is so good to be with. I taught him how to string fence, paint, oil on fencing, architecture landscaping. He works fast, accurate and honestly.
     We always lunch on the Fridays or Saturdays. His Mom just gave me a Father's Day card just a day or so ago and made me feel so good about my treating her son, like he was MY son. Joe wrote a note to me too. He likes my friendship, too.
     It makes me forget the nightmare of those 18 years and treasure what I have now. I am so grateful

ATTACK ON DONALD TRUMP..........REPUBLICANS???

FULL DISCLOSURE: I GRADUATED WITH TRUMP, MAY 1968 FROM WHARTON SCHOOL, BILL PALEY WAS THE COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER CBS BIGGIE. I say that to clear up any conflict of interest on my personal opinion.
       The  Republicans are screwing the elections up. At this writing, they are starting to discredit the legitimately chosen candidate for their party. Don Trump wrapped it up early as he said he would. He won it fair and square. He is not a typical pol. He says what he means and the reverse. If you want smarmy, listen to Sunday morning politico interviews. You can all the double talk you can swallow.
          Trump says the system is unfair, and look what happens: " da boys" in the back room are smokein up a storm plotting to undo him. NO WONDER THERE ARE MORE INDEPENDENT VOTERS (LIKE ME) THAN EVER BEFORE. When at Wharton, I wrote my thesis on our political party system and made the case for and Independent system. I see now that I was right, all along. So was Donald Trump/
         If these dissenters in the Republican party continue, we're going to wind up with Billary back in the White House, Bill on the golf course, soiling some girls dress, Hillary taking money from anyone, doing anything, and us not knowing anything about what she does.
         IF SHE ISN'T INDICTED FOR CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY. What keeps me up at night are two disturbing ideas:
  • has the American IQ sunk so low as to happily accept someone of such flawed, low character?
  • Of all the people in our country suitable for the presidency, THIS is what we have to offer?

BARACK, I HARDLY KNEW YEE...

Just when you thought it was safe to re-evaluate your opinions on politics, on the morality of human beings, on the speaking the truth to those of s still seeking it, Barack Obama, president of us all, said last night on a late night comedy show:

                    " I'm really worried about the Republican Party~!"

     My wife has asked me countless times, " how can you tell when a president is lying to us?  A review of his public track record, his statements to the press, and us, if you are careful enough to review what he says he will do, then follow the historical outcomes - proves that in almost ever case - it does NOT happen.
     So, I tell my darling wife, "  if his lips are moving, he's lying."
     Your thoughts?

WATTERS' WORLD vs REALITY

Unfortunately, I believe Jesse Watters World has become a reflection of the real world around us. The college kids are stupid. Don't think so? Check out his walk about tonight. " Who fought in
 the Civil War?" he asks of a world class dish. "Russia? and China?" she says without missing a beat? As Jesse has qualified in the past, most of these people come up to him, or, he stops them as a professional mall questionnaire does - every third person, random stops. He does not pick and chose his targets. You should have seen the Harvard Campus. It was so bad, those students, they had to throw him off the campus.
     The point? No wonder Bernie is so high in the polls. NO ONE understands the meaning and consequences of SOCIALISM. Idiots at the helm of our University are not teaching it, just as the public school systems are dumbing down our kids on history. Don't think so, ask your kids where Columbus landed in America. See what you get.
     It is a stain on America that we even HAVE a Socialist on a presidential ticket, let alone serving as a United States Senator. This country was not founded on Socialism, it was free enterprise and capitalism.

OBAMA - 7 & 1/2 YEARS.........??,

This evening's newscast on Bill O'Reilly, it was mentioned that " our president is a Socialist and most of the public doesn't know it. In fact, recent statistical data from on University source says 49% of the public, when scientifically polled, doesn't know what "Socialism" is or what it does. " It just sounds cool.
     Another polling company today said for the first time in our history, the majority of Americans do NOT believe in Capitalism, the majority believes Socialism should take first place, yet, most don't understand what it is.
     Hillary Clinton, in a debate was asked about gun control and her take on Australia's ability on handing guns. ( last year, total confiscation, no exceptions) Her answer, " I'll have to consider it once I'm in office."
     Obama has stepped in to Unisex bathrooms in public schools. That means sexually confused young men showering in your daughter's locker rooms at school, after tennis practice. First time for everything.
     The Prez has stripped the military out of  Billion dollars of funds, so much so they are de-nuding good airplanes in storage for parts, just to keep what's left of their flying units in the air. He also has frustrated the hell out of the military theater commanders by ordering them NOT TO FIRE back on enemies unless our attorneys are consulted first. Strict orders have been issued they re NOT allowed to fire back.
     Apparently this has increased our casualty count. George Bush spent/spends a lot of time with the American soldier wounded in battle. Obama spends a lot of time on the golf course. All of the Generals on staff when he walked into office have been fired, retired or demoted out of Washington. Compliant, manipulative, controllable senior officers gliding through to their retirement have been placed in positions where they can be counted on by Obama to "yes" him to death when needed. On occasion, stories float down Constitution Avenue about such times, and the aftermath of his obtuseness and subsequent foul ups.
     Koskinen at the IRS, the VA from General Kinsecki onward, and the plethora of Federal Agencies showed by media stories of ineptitude, waste, fraud, cheating, abuse and lying, pepper the national conscience to a state of epidemic depression.
     Despite the Big-Lie on the Economic Front, recent studies show about two thirds of all Americans cannot raise a measely grant for a hospital bill, car accident or other emergency. That goes for practically ANYONE in practically any income bracket.
     Race relations are at an all-time crappy low, and I can be an accurate judge of that, having grown up in south Philadelphia during the 60's. Black gangs roamed my school from elementary to senior high school from 3 grade to graduation day. It was a tough way to live in the 50s. (...the good ole days, my foot. It was the " Blackboard Jungle).
