Dark money in our politics

The Democratic Alliance is putting everything they can behind buying the electors in the Electoral Collage and getting them to turn their votes to Clinton.  Should that happen, there will be a rebellion the likes of which has not been seen since 1776.  George Soros is behind this and is using our Constitution for toilet paper.  He is as bad as Hitler.  He was given safety and citizenship in this country and is and has been using his money to upset governments and to facilitate the influx of as many illegals as he can.  He has no respect for our laws.  Sound familiar?  Yeah,  it does to me.  If you move to a country or your are born into a country, it is your responsibility to obey and uphold the laws of that country.  You are not to try and overthrow the country and that is what he and his ilk along with Citizens United are trying to do.  It is time we banned all these groups from politics and if caught meddling, jail them.  This country belongs to the voters.  We support it.  These elite billionaires do not pay taxes.  They offer nothing to the country except unrest.  Oh and encouraging breaking of our laws.  They put up no money to support all this rabble that they encourage to come here.  Nope.  They stick the taxpayer with that.  We are damn tired of it.

Astounded.

I can't quite wrap my mind around what is happening in my country.  We the people voted in our next president and because it is not whom the liberals wanted, they are now trying to overturn the election.  We have had the same Constitution for 228 years and we have had the electorial college since the beginning of the county and ratification of the Constitution.  And now we have these fools screaming for the election to be overturned.  Clinton won the popular vote.  Now they want to force the electorates to vote for her.  Take a good look at those protesting.  They are daddy's money, illegals, recent refugees, not recent immigrants, but those who were brought here and given citizenship and allowed to bypass the system and pay nothing.  So, of course, they put no value on our laws and citizenship.  The illegals want to be handed their citizenship without going by the law, so they don't value our laws nor our citizenship.  Daddy's ;money has had everything handed to them throughout their lives so they value nothing and demand to have their way.  None of these people deserve citizenship in this country.  As the old saying goes, something gotten for free is of no value.  And this is so true. 

And now we are going to have to suffer Obama bringing in all those trying to push their way into Australia.  Australia is smart enough to not allow them to push into their country.  Obama will fly them here, give them housing, welfare, free money, food stamps.  We don't even know who these people are.  We don't know if they are terrorists.  We don't know if they are criminals.  And guess what?  The liberal democrats could care less because they won't be settled in their upscale gated communities.  Obama and the rich dems will never have to deal with them.  The rest of us will.  I am really tired of the liberals just handing our country over to whomever wants to stroll in, make themselves at home, expect us to support them, break our laws, curse us.  Really tired of it and this is why we voted in Trump. 

Congressional Republicans

It is time those republicans in congress realize we did not vote in Trump because he is a Republican.  A vote for him was not a vote for them.  And threatening to privatize Medicare and Social Security after forcing us into the programs when we wanted no part of them is really asking for a boot in the backside.  If you do not buy, and it is expensive, Medicare when you turn 65, then your insurance, which you have paid all your life, is allowed by law to dumb down what they will pay.  They are allowed to only pay what Medicare would have paid if you had bought it.  In other words, they are allowed to keep charging you the same outrageous premiums but dumb down what you can get to around 20% if medical costs.  A very large gift from congress to the insurance companies for which said companies paid a huge kickback.  And Social Security.  Were you asked if you wanted to pay Social Security?  Were you asked if you wanted to invest your social security funds the way you wanted to?  No.  Congress changed the social security fund over to general revenue because they had looted it and nothing was left there.  Now the funds come in, benefits are paid out, and the overage goes into general revenue for the sticky fingered thieves to steal.  For every nickel they spend, they should have to show how it benefits the entire country.  No smoke screens, Just the facts.  And if it is not good for the country and they spend it anyway, then reimbursement to the taxpayer should have to come out of their pockets.  Any congressmen taking kickbacks from lobbyists and pac's should be charged with racketeering.  Congress should be held to a much higher standard than the average citizen.  As it is now, they are held to no standard.  They are worse than the Mafia.  And we are in a world of hurt.

The irony of the democrats

Democrats are supposed to be the party of the people. Not any more.  I am seeing rioting in the streets because they did not get their way.  I have even read that Trump's sexist comments are worse than Clinton's casual use of an unsecured server to send and receive classified documents.  Wow.  Just Wow!  She endangered our people working overseas.  We don't really know what damage she did.  And she lied.  And lied.  And lied.  She just kept lying to the people.  She, along with the DNC and the media conspired to push Bernie Sanders out of the race so she would have a clear shot.  The DNC is supposed to remain absolutely neutral.  We had a candidate selected for us and served up on the proverbial silver platter and told to vote her into the White House.  Oh, and she would represent Mexico as well.  And she would allow as many illegals to become citizens as wished.  She would not enforce immigration laws.  She would stop the illegals from being arrested and deported.  Nowhere was there any mention of what she was going to do for the poor, underemployed and legal minorities.  There was no mention of improving schools.  There was no mention of trying to clean up the ghettos and make those neighborhoods safer for children.  There was no mention of all those kids going to be hungry because their parent has to make the choice of rent or food.  There was no mention of the thousands of homeless.  She was in it for the elite, narrowminded liberals and Wall Street.  Not one damn thing for the working class and poor.  It was as if we just do not exist.  That was the same attitude that we saw in Romney.  He made it very clear that he was in it for his rich friends.  So did Clinton.  And the millineals cannot understand that.  They have never seen hard times.  They live in a bubble where they cry if you hurt their feelings.  None of those democrats including Clinton live in the real world.  The world where we have to find the money to keep cars running, to pay for a leaky roof fix because we can't replace the roof.  To find the money to fix our kids' teeth.  To just find the money to keep up.  We are there.  We exist.  We are not illegal.  We are the citizens that carry the weight of the country on our backs.  We pay the taxes.  But we don't exist.  That is why Clinton lost.  And those republicans in congress had better get their act together or they will be out in 2 years.  The revolution has begun.  I vote we stick those millineals in the military and make them grow up.  I firmly believe that there should be a 2 year mandatory service for every kid turning 18.  Every one needs to have some skin in this game.  If you want to be a citizens, then man up and help move this country forward in the right way.

Sad state of the country

I am really ashamed of those protesting because they did not get their way at the polls.  We the people elected our president.  It does not matter that half the people did not want this president.  He was elected per Constitutional law.  He is our president and the country had better get behind him because if he fails we all fail.  He is there because neither party gave us anyone to vote for.  The politicians from both parties were so in bed with the super pac's, the moneyed brokers trying to buy them into the White House.  Hillary Clinton was the candidate for the illegals.  Clinton was Mexico's candidate.  Had Sanders not jumped on the bandwagon to give all illegals citizenship, I could gladly have voted for him.  But the 20-50 million illegals here are a problem and they are depressing wages, taking jobs, costing us a huge amount of money and destroying our schools.  We don't need  cheap labor that badly.  75% of all jobs created in the last 4 years went to illegals.  Bill Clinton set the stage for the recession of 2008 by repealing the Glass-Steagall act in 1999.  This set the stage for merging of the traditional banks and the investment banks and this set the stage for the wholesale gambling in risky mortgages which in turn led to the recession.  And George Bush took it even further and destroyed the rest of the safeguards.  Clinton did not engineer the NAFTA trade agreement, but he could have stopped it.  He did not.  So the actual taxpayers supporting the country have had no representation in the White House in about 50 years.  And each administration has chipped away at regulations intended to protect the taxpayer from businesses and they underhanded and bordering on illegal activity.  NAFTA also set the stage to move production overseas and reap the benefits of cheap labor while dumping all these cheap goods here for the consumer to pay top dollar for.  A pair of shoes that cost maybe 12 cents to make sells for around $150.  This is a huge profit for the company and a real screwing for the consumer. 

So we have had our revolution and I hope Washington realizes what has happened.  It is not business as usual.  Two years down the road many congressmen will be running for reelection.  If they haven't done any housecleaning, we will toss them out as well. 

And somebody need to wipe the snot off the dems faces and slap them silly for crying like spoiled brats.

State of the Country

Just recently we had a recall of Bumble Bee tuna.  Why?  It seems a worker was caught in the oven when the other workers loaded it and set it to bake the tuna.  The man was literally cooked.  The names of the employees say volumes.  They were illegal aliens and they were hired by said company because this company, just like all other American companies,they don't have to pay payroll taxes, can pay a lower salary and most important, these illegals will not complain to labor or OSHA when there are major safety violations.  The company probably has no safety standards in place.  So, when you are on your high horse and screaming for "rights" for these here stealing from us, it goes farther than just taking jobs.  The working people are the ones that feel that the hardest.  They are the face of the damage allowing illegals to come in unchecked and multiply like rats.  But those liberals screaming for them to have open access and all benefits accorded to citizens are also being damaged by all this.  Yes, for now their jobs are secure.  That could change on a dime.  Remember the e coli in Gold Medal flour?  Who do you think staffs those plants?  What kind of safety regulations do you think the plant and by extension the powers that be in the companies have in place to insure the safety of their product?  My guess would be none.  Because they have no fear of labor or OSHA coming and in and busting them for safety violations.  Why?  Labor and OSHA cannot get involved unless there are complaints from the workers.  So, those companies are free to do whatever they want to do.  Take the Swift packing plant in Iowa for example.  Back in the 90's or before, they were paying $15/hr plus benefits.  When the illegals moved in, all the Americans were fired and replace with illegals at $10/hr and no benefits.  When the fed raided the plant a couple of years ago, they deported all but 2 workers.  2 workers in the entire plant were not illegal.  The plant still operates, but they have replaced the illegals with more illegals and still pay low wages and probably no payroll taxes. 

Those illegals that have gotten a tax number and "pay taxes" have done so because they have been clued in that ICE will not use these records to bust them and they can get a ton of money back because they show low income and have a bunch of kids.  So Child tax credits and Earned Income and they clean up.  So they take our jobs, depress wages, take SSI, food stamps, WIC, tanf, housing, free schooling, free medical for their kids and top it off with a huge kickback from the taxpayer via the IRS.  They are truly gaming the system.  Yes, they are living the American dream at the expense of the lawful taxpayer. 

California just voted down their English only education.  We have that in Texas.  The only ones benifiting from bi-lingual education is the illegals.  They are taught in Spanish.  Our own kids fall farther and farther behind because the teachers are concentrating on those who do not speak English.  And it is not just the countries to the south of us.  It is the whole damn world.  We are the safety net for those countries that won't control their population growth.  Mexico, Central America, India, Pakistan, most of the Middle East and the African countries.  And this over population is fueled by the churches.  The Catholic church to the south of us, the Muslim religion elsewhere.  And the countries have no incentive to stop this dumping of their welfare class because we, the US taxpayer, are factored in in their GDP.  We make up 2% of Mexico's GDP. They factor in the money sent back by the illegals into their budgets. 

End of the circus

Yesterday, we voted and put an end to the circus called the presidential election.  Half the country is elated at the result and half the country is depressed at the result.  We are a very divided country and I don't think we are actually fixable.  On the one side, the side who elected Trump, are realists and people who believe in enforcing our laws.  This entire election was about illegal immigration and Washington's refusal to enforce our immigration laws.  The refusal of our elected officials to even see that we are drowning in the cost of the illegals is mindboggling.  The liberals tried to shame us into supporting them.  Oh, those poor people, they just want a better way of life.  Well, so do we.  And we would just like to make it from payday to payday without running our of money.  We would like to be able to afford a decent house and a car that at least runs.  We would like to be able to plan and save for college for our own kids.  We can't do that because we are so busy supporting illegals from all over the world that we are broke.  I don't think any of us have a problem with legal immigrants.  It is the illegals that stick in our craw.  And the Democrats just could not wrap their minds around this concept.  They live in their own elite liberal bubble so far removed from the working people that they don't even really know that we still exist.  And the Republicans are in the same boat.  We just don't exist for our elected officials.  Well, we sent the message and the politicians in Washington had better get the message or we will be back in force in two years aiming for congress, senate and in 4 years aiming for the presidency again.  We want our country back.  We pay the bills.  We are the ones having to work two and three part time jobs to pay the bills.  We are the ones who have no choice but to put our kids in public schools where they are neglected so that those who don't speak English can be educated.  We are the ones without medical insurance because the ACA is too expensive for us to afford.  We are the ones who when sick, just tough it out.  There is no money for doctor's visits and medicines.  We are the ones who ignore dental problems.  We are the ones who make do with reading glasses that we can't see out of because we can't afford prescription glasses.  We are the ones who carry the weight of the country on our shoulders and we don't exist for those who are supposed to be representing us.  Well, maybe after this election, we will exist.

Famil

I just made a family member angry.  She has an Indian doctor.  I voiced my feelings on this.  And those feelings are that there should be no Indians or any other nationality coming here, getting their degrees, and being allowed to stay.  In the first place, we pay for those educations and we should not be doing so.  Until every one of our own children are educated and in good jobs, we have no business putting out money and slots in college and medical schools for foreigners.  And this is the destination for Indians.  Bobby Jindal is a product of that education system.  His mother came here on a graduate fellowship when she was 8 months pregnant with him.  She came to give him citizenship.  I have a real problem with this.  I also have a real problem with H1-B visas.  No company should be able to get an employee on this visa until they can prove they have exhausted every avenue to hire a citizen.  It should take mounds of paperwork on their part.  Instead, they just issue a blanket statement that they cannot find qualified citizens to do the work and apply for the H1-B visa and force the employees they are firing to train these from India that don't even speak the language.

Back to my family argument.  Her doctor, she tells me, was born and raised in England, married a US citizen.  She wanted to return to the US so they came here.  He was educated in England and now practices medicine in the States.  I called bs.  I maintain he is here because he can make much more money here than in England.  The anger erupted.  No.  He is an upstanding person and would never do that.  Again I call bs.  I know some of those doctors from England.  They are here of the money.  Would I see any of them?  No.  Pure and simple, I want our own.  I want US citizens treating me.  I don't want someone who cannot speak my language.  I don't want some one who is here for what they can get.  I want my own.  If that is racist, so be it.  But I put our citizens above any foreigners, no matter where they come from.  They could walk here on water and I would feel the same.  We owe it to our own children to educate them, give them a comfortable lifestyle, before we pad the way for any foreigners.  My feelings.  We have so many children who have no home life, who are on drugs, who are mothers even though they themselves are still children.  They are our priority.  Not those coming into the country for what they can get.  They are not interested in being citizens of this country.  They are interested in getting what this country can offer.  And I think that for a child born here to be a citizen, at least one parent has to be a native citizen or a naturalized citizen.  Yes, I have a homophobic view.  I am watching our country being destroyed from within and I don't like it.  This is not what my father crawled through the jungles of the South Pacific for.

As to the family member that got angry, well she is always expressing her opinion. She is entitled to it. And I am entitled to mine. I have never hung up on her for expressing this opinion.  She always does me.  Now the ball is in her court.  I'm done.

Our politics

My son has asked me to explain why I dislike Hillary Clinton so much.  I had to give it a great deal of thought.  I have voted Democrat all my voting life, so for me to really dislike a candidate enough to not vote for them, I had to review my voting record.  I began to dislike what the Democrats stood for back in 2008.  I did not like Obama.  He had no credentials that qualified him for the Office of President.  And I saw innate racism in what he had been doing, community organizer.  Also, in his short stint in the Senate, he did nothing.  He had no experience and not really any attachment to the country as a whole.  And I really did not like how the Democratic party was treating Hillary Clinton at the time.  She was the first woman who had a chance at the White House.  And the Democratic elites were intent on instilling Obama and made no bones about it.  So I was ready to vote for McCain.  Then he trotted out Palin.  The idea of that woman being one heartbeat away from the Presidency scared hell out of me.  I did not like Obama.  He was a white man passing as a black and he was elitist.  My people did not matter to him.  I am Southern middle class and grew up very poor.  So I held my nose and voted for Obama.

We come around to 2012.  I was so hoping that the GOP would come to their senses and give us a viable candidate that we could be proud of.  Not to happen.  We were given another elite.  Romney.  Romney made it clear that he would be representing his peers, the top 1%.  Again we did not count.  So I held my nose again and voted Obama.  For the first time in my life, I was not voting for a democrat, but against a republican.  And it has gone about as I had expected.  Our military is in a mess.  Our Naval ships are breaking down at sea.  And he, with his community organizer skills, has turned the Middle East into a hell.  And has pushed Russia toward war.

Which brings us to Hillary Clinton.  As a first lady, I could tolerate her.  Bill Clinton, even though he is sleeze, is a fantastic administrator and has a great hold on the economy.  He is smart with common sense.  Hillary is very smart, but has not morals, no loyalty to the military and no common sense and will do anything for a dollar or a vote.  She also doesn't give a tinkers damn about the working citizens of this country.  Any politician who would put criminals ahead of citizens and inform those citizens that we have to take care of any and all who sneak into our country does not have a realist view of the country.  She lives in an elitist bubble right along with that white man passing as black.  They can't see past their own socioeconomic class and the rest of us are to be ridiculed.  We are the ones supporting this country and the democrats see us as bumbling idiots.

Now the real clincher.  Hillary's mini-me.  Huma Abedin.  She is from a Muslim family that preachers against Westerners.  Her mother edits a newspaper trashing the Western world and is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood.  And this woman, at 19, gave up her entire life and made herself a shadow of Hillary Clinton.  The woman has a small child, but devotes all her time to Hillary.  Every waking minute, if the reports are right. Why?  No one in their right mind gives up their life to live it for another.  Even Karen Hughes, Bush's brain, gave up the power she had to return to Texas because of the toll it was taking on her children. And how in hell did Abedin and Weiner afford a $600,000 townhouse on their salaries?  He made, in congress around $175,000 and she made less than that.  So how in hell did they afford this?  Add in the cost of maintenance, property taxes and insurance.  That had to be one hell of a payment.  Nothing adds up about this woman.  It will be unthinkable if she turns out to be a mole on the payroll of Iran or Saudi Arabia.  Or maybe the rumors are right and she is Hillary's long time lover.

More garbage

Been reading about the new scandal on Trump and the things he said years ago.  I don't know and don't care if they are true or not.  However, as a woman who spent 40 years in the workforce and 35 of those years in a field where I was in constant contact with all kinds of people, I can tell you a few things about men. There are three kinds of men
1)Those that actually do respect women
2)Those like the description of Trump
3)Those who have no respect and cop a feel whenever they get the chance.

Those that truly do respect women do not make them feel uncomfortable.  They treat them as equals.  And they expect equal treatment. Those like Trump who spout sexism and lewd comments are always easy to read and call out.
The sneaky ones, these are the ones who will turn anything you say into a suggestive comment.  They are the ones who will make casual contact and pretend it is an accident or that they didn't notice they were doing it.  It is a casual brush against the breast with an arm or a hand on the shoulder with a slight squeeze all the while looking at and talking to others.  If you are sitting near them, then it is a hand on the thigh.  Calling them out produces a look of hurt innocence.  These are very hard to pin down and gaining credibility when calling them out is difficult to do.  With the ones like Trump, they are right up front with their sexism and those you can slap the snot out of when they put hands on.
With the sneaky ones, everything will slide off them and make you look like an uptight bitch.  So to beat them at their own game is a little more difficult.  You have to actually turn the tables on them.  The best way is to wait until you are in the presence of their wives.  Then you come on to them really strong.  Touching, caressing an arm.  Smiling at them.  And do all this while you ignore the wife.  Make his life miserable.
With the ones like Trump, after you put them in their place, you can sometimes even be friendly with them.  You just have to always be on your guard.  You can actually earn their respect by being just as jaded and hard nosed as they are.  With the sleezy ones, you can never, ever trust them.  They have no self respect so there is no respect for anyone else either.

So of the three, I would, of course, prefer to deal with type 1.  You can actually be yourself with them.  Next in line is the Trump's of the world.  Never, ever the sleeze.  I learned my way around the workforce and how to deal. A woman can tell.  As soon as that hand lands on her shoulder, she knows whether or not it is a casual friendly hand or that that hand is planning on something more sinister.  When you are young, you get a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach when this happens.  As you get older and more jaded, you just feel disgust.  And you put a stop to it.  And if that makes you look bitchy, so be it.  I was well know in the workplace as being a bitch who would slap hell out of you if you invaded my personal space.  I was always a good friend but a very bad enemy.  It is a shame that we do have to walk that line, but we do.  And the sooner women learn that they have to, I guess, grow a pair, the better off they are.  Remember, if you could not have prevented it from happening and you did not encourage it, you have nothing to feel guilty about.  I developed such a thick skin that I never felt guilty.  I just cut them off at the knees and moved on.  Best thing to do.

Our politics

I keep reading on the internet about all the other countries angry because there is a possibility that we, the voters in the USA, will put Donald Trump in the office of the President.  We are being called stupid, redneck, and all kinds of other names.  Well, here is my take on this.  Those of us supporting Trump are neither dumb nor are we stupid.  What we are is really pissed off.  We are pissed off because every damn politician in DC is there to line their pockets and pat the asses of the a)lobbyists b) every damn country that want a handout.  There is nothing, nothing for the working class, the poor and the poverty stricken.  We have people living in cardboard houses on the Reservations.  We have citizens living in moldy, rotting houses.  Our good politicians do not want to see this.  They are not interested in this.  They just want it to go away.  And now they are on a new land grab from the Native Americans.  Their Public Land Initiative is nothing but a land grab to steal the public lands that are sacred to the Native Americans and give it to the oil companies.  Why? Because the oil companies gives them bunches and bunches of money. 

The BLM controls everything on the Reservations and have literally given away all the natural resources on said reservations for pennies on the dollar because businesses wanted it.  We could have taken care of the Native tribes in style if the government had not stolen the natural resources from them. But hey, they are just Indians.  The very people who have more right here than any immigrant legal or illegal and they are treated like so much trash.  This is disgusting.  And we have Obama jumping through hoops to move in as many Muslims as he possible can, but not one word about the Native Americans.  Not.One.Damn.Word! I believe that every damn politician in DC should have to live like the poorest among us for at least 1 year before being put in office.  They need to feel the pain and hopelessness that these people feel.  They need to go hungry.  They need to look at their future and see nothing.  But that won't happen.  We the people only count if we have money. And the rest of the world needs to butt the hell out.  It is our election and we will vote into office whomever we wish. 

scary times

I was just reflecting on a bit of history and I think I have hit on why I am so opposed to Muslims settling in my country. I recently read an article written by a Muslim immigrant. The author was female and she was very arrogant.  In her article, she argued that the Islamic religion was far superior to the Christian religion and it was the duty of the Muslims to bring Islam to everyone whether they wanted it or not.  In other words, to force their religion on the rest of the world.  And that the Islamic religion could not be separate from the politics of a country because the Islamic religion was to be lived in all aspects of life whether anyone wanted it or not.  So yes, I am opposed to settling Muslims in my country.  This is not a Muslim country and we don't want their religion.  And in this country, we do not have to accept it.  Islam cannot coexist with the Constitution.  Let's hope that there are enough of us that will stop Islam from spreading here to cause trouble with our politics.  Although, I really do worry for my country. 

Another thing, it really irritates me to watch our Democratic leaders jump on the bandwagon and drive it in forcing us to accept the illegals.  They are illegal.  They have no right to be here and they are taking resources away from our own children and especially our poor.  We are making no effort to take care of our poor and we have too many children in dire straits.  And the only thing we can thank Mexico and Central America for it is drug mess.  We can really thank them for that.  I personally believe that our Border Patrol should be allowed to execute any crossing the border with drugs.  It wouldn't take but a few and the flow of drugs would stop immediately.  Of course, the hard core liberals that depend on the cartel for their drugs would be screaming loud and long, but hey who cares.  Time we stepped up and took care of our own.  I'm feeling really angry and uncharitable right now.  I just watched my grandchildren return to school and my grandson is hating every minute of it because he is bored out of his head because the teachers spend all their time with the non-English speaking and ignore the citizen kids.  Our tax money is going to educate criminal's kids.  How the mighty have fallen.  My father must be spinning in his grave and thinking " I crawled through the jungles of the South Pacific for this!"  Shameful.  And of course our vets are thrown under the bus.  They are treated like so much trash that the government and the stupid self-centered citizens of this country wish would just go away.  Never mind that those same people are responsible for their problems.  Never mind that they were sent into those hell holes by the very taxpayers that now deny they.

Disaster in Louisiana

The wreck on I-10 in Louisiana was something that should never have happened and the two men, both citizens, should never have died.  The driver of the bus had no drivers license and was illegal.  He had been stopped before for driving without a license.  The owner of the company that supplied the bus, the driver, and the 42 illegal construction workers on the bus, was illegal.  The only legal citizens in this whole mess were the owners of the staffing company contracting to furnish the workers to the companies in Baton Rouge and they were, drum roll, an elected state representative from Louisiana and an elected state representative from Arkansas.  Now from my standpoint, those two politicians are responsible for the two deaths that occurred because of this illegal driving a bus he did not know how to drive.  I so hope the families of those killed sue the socks off these two politicians.  And that is why we can't get rid of the illegals.  Our own elected officials are hiring them over citizens.  Don't you just love your government?

State of our country

I saw where Trump went to Louisiana and took a filled semi with food, clothing, supplies and toys.  He didn't notify the media that he was going.  He just went.  I don't know if the man will make a good president or not, but I seriously doubt that he can be any worse than what we have had for decades.  There has not been one damn person in that office that worked for the taxpayer.  They work for foreign entities, illegal aliens, the rich, anyone but the people who carry the weight of the country on their backs.  And that would be the very small middle class and getting smaller every day.  And Trump was trashed for going to Louisiana.  Well, guess what I was impressed.  And no we don't expect any help from the government here in the south because we are always an afterthought.  Ever wonder why those politicians from the south voted against aid for SuperStorm Sandy?  We get really tired of being ignored as though we don't count.  Katrina got attention simply because the news media could get good ratings from showing the suffering of the people.  A few weeks later, Rita hit western Louisiana and East Texas.  Where was the media then?  Where was the help? We still have people living in homes that they could not afford to repair.  One of our local grocery store chains set up shop in several parking lots with generators they furnished themselves to furnish food for the people.  East Texas did without power for two weeks after Rita.  Help?  Well, Fema was nowhere to be seen. 

Ike.  Ike hit the Texas Gulf Coast at Galveston, moved through Houston and up through East Texas.  A reporter asked Bill White, who was mayor of Houston at the time, if FEMA had been to Houston.  His reply." Yeah a fellow from FEMA came by my office before Ike made landfall. He told me not to worry. That FEMA was there and we would be joined at the hip through this. That is the last time I saw anyone from FEMA."  Galveston was pretty much destroyed.  Federal help?  Nope.  George Mitchell rebuilt Galveston with his money.  He was born and raised in Galveston and had the money.  The only thing they got from the fed was fury that there had been no public housing rebuilt.  Mitchell told them he would not build public housing.  His money was not going to that.  If they wanted public housing, build it.  I guess they did.  Crystal Beach and Boliver Penesula was destroyed.  It is coast land and the fed was supposed to move in and search the debris for bodies.  They never showed up so Perry ordered Texas disaster recovery to do the job.  We take care of our own.  If we don't, there is no help.  And that is why our politicians voted against Superstorm Sandy funds.  Sandy was a cat 1.  On the coast, for a cat 1,  we only evacuate those within the storm surge.  And that is pretty much right on the beach.  And we are still; hearing about Superstorm Sandy. 

Banks

Banks have been given a license to steal.  I lost a job in 2014.  As a result, I got behind on my credit cards.  I know, my fault for even having them.  Well, they closed the accounts after I had begun making payments.  I was not notified they had closed the accounts.  I found out when I went on line and tried to set up to view my accounts.  So this was in February.  I have been trying since to get in touch with someone with this bank.  All calls go to India.  And those taking the calls speak very little English.  I finally got in touch with someone in Orlando today and he was perfectly happy to let me call in and make payments.  No, I could not mail them in.  I could not have them draft a checking account.  I could not view them online.  Basically, what I would do is just call them, give them my account number and routing number and tell them how much I wanted to pay.  I was told that this was an "unofficial" payment plan.  So I asked, well if you charged off the account, should I not have gotten a 1099-C.  Oh, yes, they mailed me a 1099-C.  No, they did not.  So then it gets really crappy.  I will have to pay income taxes on that money, but they will allow me to pay it back to get it off my credit report.  So, in essence, they write it off, take the tax deduction, then take my money to pay it back.  I would be paying double and they would bury the payments somewhere and it would never get reported.  I told them to stick it. Oh, and if I want them to mail me "another" 1099-C then I have to deal with those idiots in India.  They want your name, social security number, date of birth and your mother's maiden name.  Nope. Not happening.  I will just write it up, file an amended return and attach a statement telling them that this bank did not give me a 1099-C.  This just confirms that banks are the new Mafia.  They can steal and face no repercussions.  Wow! I will not deal with a bank again.  I am going credit unions all the way.  This crap is really scary.

The illusion that is our democracy

We all think we have a say in our government.  That our vote counts for something.  Well, that is just an illusion.  Unless you are very wealthy, your vote and you count for nothing.  Nothing.  Your congressman only ever considers you when he needs that vote that he can't bypass to get into the halls of the legislature.  Other than that, you are non-existent. And the same holds true with businesses you deal with.

Let's take "credit" for starters.  What the term credit entails is the use of credit cards.  Nothing more, nothing less.  If you are one of the few who does not use credit cards, then you have no credit.  You can have purchased a house on a mortgage, ie creditl.  You can have purchased and paid off several cars on credit.  But if you do not have credit cards, you are non-existant in the "credit" department.  And your credit worthiness hinges on three little numbers.  And those three little numbers are arbitrary.  They will change daily or even hourly.  If you have credit cards pay them in full every month, not good.  If you use them only for large purchases, not good.   If you carry balances on them, not good.  So there is realistically no way for you to keep those three little numbers high.  Businesses that collect all your personal information, and I do mean all your personal information, decided whether you are an honest person or not.  Three. Little. Numbers.  I was in the mortgage business way back in the day.  Back in the day, if you had more than a couple of those credit cards, that went against you.  We collected proof of employment, how long you had been with your present employer, what your monthly bills were.  We talked with your employer.  And unless you qualified for a VA or FHA loan, you put 20% down.  Most people did qualify for FHA or VA loans by virtue of being poor but with a stable history, or you were a veteran.  And FHA and VA sent their own home inspectors out  and those home inspectors worked for the home buyer.  If they found something wrong with the house, the seller was told to fix it.  I have been out with those inspectors.  House on a slab, he crawled under the house.  He inspected everything.  Plumbing, electrical, dry rot, roof, everything. I was taught by the best in how to assess a house.  Not anymore.  If you want a halfway honest inspection, then you have to hire and pay your own inspector.  And you have to pay for a plumber to inspect the pipes and an electrician to inspect the wiring.  Otherwise, it is ignored. 

But back in the day, a lending institution was concerned 1) for the buyer because he was going to be paying for the house and 2) the soundness of the structure because in the case of a foreclosure, they wanted that structure in good shape so they could resell quickly. 

So much has changed in my lifetime and I have watched it unfold and both political parties are guilty of selling off of the country.  Only those with money count.  Only big business counts.  Ask any small businessman about all the taxes and fees he has to pay.  Back in the day you could start a business and make it successful.  Try it today. 

And for the consumer, we had savings accounts with a guarenteed 5% interest.  Every one saved.  Now good luck with .05%, And I have watched this happen over the years.  It started with Nixon and has only gotten worse.  We were shocked, as a nation, when Nixon pulled his tricks.  Now Nixon seems like a babe in the woods.  And those town hall meetings, they only call on pre-selected people with pre selected questions.  I took part in one of those telephone town hall meeting when Flores first started them. I was not allowed to ask any questions of Flores because what I wanted to ask would have made him look bad.  However, he took calls from people not even in his district.  There is a book out by a former congressman detailing how the congressmen spend their days fundraising.  They are being paid by the taxpayer and all they do is fundraise.  Feel like you have been royally screwed yet?

Our Politics

I keep trying to step back and ignore politics.  Washington D.C. has become worse than the swamp it was built on.  It is a toxic cesspool.  And the players do not change, just the names do.  Clinton is still promising citizenship to any and all who want to just waltz across our border.  Trump is Trump.  Will he do what he says?  I can only hope so and many, many others in this country are hanging onto him because he is our last ditch effort to take back a shadow of our once great country.  The is total disconnect between those in Washington and those of us who have to work for a living.  We, quite simply, do not matter and if they could find a way around the elections, we would truly be relegated to the trash heap for that is how we are view now--simply a necessary evil because the pesky Constitution is in the way.  There is a bumper sticker I see every day.  It states "How can you trust a government that does not trust you with guns?"  My question is a lot more in depth.  How can you trust a government that sees you as basically cannon fodder to be trotted out, lied to, and used to get those votes to get into office.  And it does not really matter who we want in office.  It boils down to who will the democrats trot out for us to vote for and who will the republicans trot out for us to vote for.  And no one cares if they are good for the country.  No one cares if they will put the citizens first.  The only thing these people care about is their bank accounts.  Pure and simple, politics had evolved into how much money can I get from it.  And it has been this mess since Nixon.  Actually Barry Goldwater started us on this trip.  Republicans are in the back pockets of business.  Democrats are as well, but they try to cloak it in civic responsibility. 

And we have recent arrivals coming here and making their own demands and getting their way.  Let's just talk about Silicon Valley.  One of the new billionaires who is from India is going to jail for assult and battery.  He should be deported and if he has gained citizenship, revoke it and boot him out.  The two graduating seniors who stood on the podium and rubbed our noses in the fact that they are illegal and have stiffed the taxpayer for their education, they get very good offers from places like Harvard because they are illegal.  Those offers would never have been made to a poor citizen who really needs the help.  Nope, that poor citizen is screwed.  I look at my grandchildren.  They are brilliant.  And they are white and poor.  They will have no chance.   I will take out a second mortgage on my house to put them through college.  There will be no  help for them otherwise.  However, if they are illegal or the children of illegals, those parents show no income because they work under the table.  So they can get all kinds of grants, loans, and scholarships.  They will get a free ride right through college.  They will be rewarded for being criminals.  What message is that sending to the world?  That the Americans are suckers and can be used and stolen from and nothing will happen to them for it.  And our politicians sit on their welfare rears in Washington and let it happen and have been doing so since the 1970's. Your elected officials do not work for you, the voter.  They work for big business and lobbyists.  Tom Cotton was paid a cool million for trying to block the Iran deal in congress and no one has yet to charge him with taking a bribe.  Why not?  Because congress has fixed the laws that allow them to take these bribes.  Nancy Pelosi made millions on insider trading.  Martha Stewart went to prison for the same thing.  And yet none of these congressmen and women are ever going to face any repercussions from these illegal acts because they are not illegal for congress.  So now you have an understanding of why we will keep those guns.  We may, God forbid, actually need them at some time in the future.  Bottom line is we are on our own.  If you are not at least in the upper middle class, you are person non grata as far as your elected representatives are concerned.  They don't give a damn.

The Farce that is Politics

I just read an article on the internet which featured an interview with Bernie Sanders.  In it, he focused on Trump and how dangerous he is.  In this interview, he pretty much accused Trump of starting the birther movement.  And if that is not calling the kettle black I don't know what is.  The birther movement was started by the Democrats in an attempt to discredit McCain.  They were claiming since he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, he is not natural born and therefore not eligible to serve as president.  First, McCain's father was serving in the US Navy at the time of McCain's birth and was stationed in the Canal Zone by the  citizens of the United States.  He did not chose to be there.  He was ordered there.  Therefore, McCain is eligible to serve as president.  Then the Democrats cried foul when the Republicans turned the tables on them with Obama.  And the Democrats are trying to flood the country with as many illegals as they can before the election figuring that they will orchistrate  citizenship for all these criminals.  Every one of those Democrats that actively engage with the illegals should be prosecuted, but we don't have a president with the, for wont of a better word, balls to do his job.  The democrats have abandoned every group in this country except the illegals.  Why?  Because they think they have the black vote sewed up and they think the poorer whites and the lower middle class will automatically vote for them.  And Hillery's stupidity while in the state department is another telltale sign that she does not value the country nor our government and the government workers who keep it going.  And now the DNC has been hacked three times.  They also don't believe in security.  And if that does not scare the beJesus out of every citizen, it should.   Her casual attitude toward security tells me that our agents will most definitely be exposed by any administration she heads up.  She is in it for herself and her high dollar friends.  Screw the rest of us. 

Now the Republicans.  They hate Donald Trump, but remember this is the party elected a president with Alzheimers. And they elected him twice.  And they elected George Bush Jr.  And they tried to elect Romney.  Romney cannot even see the working people.  They are way beneath him.  The Dems should be very grateful to the Republicans.  They got Obama elected twice.  The first time because McCain trotted out Palin.  She scared the beJesus out of us.  She is so very stupid.  Then they trotted out Mitt Romney.  Mitt made his fortune by buying and gutting other companies.  He has not a clue how those who support the country live and how hard their lives are.  They are also the party responsible for arming Iran.  They are also the party responsible for the mess in Central America.  They are also the party responsible for the cocaine addiction in this country.  Don't believe me?  The CIA, on Nixon's orders, back in the early 70's, flooded the black neighborhoods and the hippie communes with cocaine.  Nixon's reasoning is that they would be easier to control if they were addicted.  Look it up.  I did.

So we have two parties so out of touch with the country that they do not even know why Trump has risen to where he is.  We are in a mess and I really don't see a way out unless, and I say this in desperation, Trump can really come through for us.  I am betting on it.  I will; hold my nose and vote for Trump.

The Rise of Donald Trump

The elites in politics are still trying to figure out what it is that has landed Donald Trump at the top of the political spectrum.  I just read that Obama is blaming the Republican party for Trump.  I have read that it is the stupid and uneducated that is backing Trump.  I have read that it is the evangelicals that are responsible for the rise of Trump.  Once again I will try to explain why Trump has risen so far.
1) illegal immigration
2) illegal immigration
3) illegal immigration

I could go on and on, but this along with the so called business visas are the reason we are so pissed off.  We have no say in any of this.  The politicians just ignore the will of the people and are just handing our country over to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that decides they want to live off the taxpayer.  They come here and drop and anchor baby immediately and to add insult to injury, the taxpayer is forced, against his will, to pay for the delivery and care of said anchor baby which is followed by many more brats.  Our schools are gone.  We no longer teach our citizens anything.  All our tax dollars for schools go to educating, or I should say, babysitting the non-English speaking brats of mostly Mexico and Central America.  We are pumping money into those countries like water over a waterfall and still we have them coming into the country in a steady wave and the Democrats screaming for us to give them everything.  We are supposed to even give them citizenship.  They cost us over $10billion a year.  Yes I did say $10 billion.  Factor in the cost of courts, lawyers, border patrol, housing them in prison, food stamps, wic, housing, free medical, free schooling in their native language, yeah, over $10 billion.  We don't even teach our own Natives in their own language.  In fact, the government forced them to abandon their native languages and learn English and the "white man's ways."  Or own people.  We let children go to school with peeling paint, leaking roofs, dodging bullets.  We lest our children sit in the system because we are too cheap to care for them.  We refuse to do job training for our poor so that they can get a decent job.  And when those decent jobs are created, they are given to illegal criminals.  75% of the jobs created that Obama touts went to illegals.  This is one pissed taxpayer.  That is who is responsible for the rise of Trump.  The pissed off taxpayers who are damn tired of both parties giving away our country.  Both parties because the Democrats are just looking for votes and the Republicans are looking for cheap labor for their business buddies.  We, the taxpayer, are damn tired of having no representation in our own government.  We, the taxpayer, are damn tired of our country being run by lobbyists, big business and lazy assed idiots who would not rub elbows with the trash they are trying to force down our throats.  If those illegals moved into their neighborhoods, you would hear such screaming.  And I am tired of supporting Israel. 

So there you have it.  Trump's rise has nothing to do with the education level of his supporters.  Trump's rise is a very desperate attempt by those who are forced to support the country and forced to support all these other countries that keep dumping their welfare trash on us.  Trump's rise is the average taxpayer that is so pissed off at Washington that we could definitely form a new revolution and I don't think we would be any worse off if we did.  At least maybe we could get rid of the trash in Washington.  Trump's rise is because we want someone who has the balls to do a good housecleaning. 

Politics

I don't see the problem with England pulling out of the European Union.  Since Germany's Merkel made he broad acceptance of the so-called refugees Union wide without consulting with the other countries in the union, I would think that would make the agreement null and void.  It is not simply up to her to allow half the world's population into Europe.  She is not dictator.  However, she sure destroyed Europe and I see England's withdrawal from the European Union as an act of self preservation. These Middle Eastern countries have bred like flies and overpopulated their own homes and are now looking to take over the homes of the Europeans.  Europe needed to learn a lesson from the United States.  Within the last 15 years, we have handed our country over to the illegals mostly from Mexico but we have trash in here from all over the world and I consider anyone coming here illegally trash.  Pure and simple.  The problems of other countries are not the problems of the American taxpayer and we should definitely have a big say in how our tax money is spent.  We don't.  We have a lazy-assed welfare congress and a welfare president.  All are drawing obscene salaries and benefits at the expense of the taxpayer and which said taxpayers had no say in.  And we have fools that are dead set on giving our country away.  We have starving children here, our own citizens.  We have so ignored our own that our children are now as dumb as the illegals slithering into our country to steal us blind.  .

It is time that every country on earth instituted population control.  It is time those in the western world stopped subsidizing the breeders of the rest of the world.  Stop with trying to save every one.  It will be brutal for awhile, but we are only delaying the inevitable.  And the more we delay the reckoning of the stupidity of humans thinking that they can breed all they want, the more brutal it will be.  Stop it now.  Force them to stay put and fix their own countries.  They are destroying their own homes and moving on to destroy other societies.  And they see it as their right.  Never mind that the prospering countries have sweated blood to build their home countries.  Europe, in 60 years, completely rebuilt from a devistating war.  So did Japan.  And when violence takes over in the countries they have pushed themselves into, they will just try to run somewhere else.  They are running out of places to run to.  The planet is finite and we as humans are well on our way to destroying it.  It cannot continue the assult that humans have been launching on it for centuries.  And most of the damage has been done in the last 100 years.  One short century to destroy what nature took eons to build.  Wow!  This does not say much for the human species.  Seems to me we are on the bottom rung of the intelligence level of all the species.  We have destroyed ecosystems because we can.  We have eliminated species because we can and now we are killing the only planet we have because we can.  Maybe, if the planet is lucky, a killer virus will get lose.  It would be nasty but it might save the planet.  Try reading On the Beach  by Nevil Schultz.  It will scare you into jumping on the save the earth bandwagon like nothing else.   

Refugees and Economic Migrants.

I fail to see how all these people can just descend on Europe and expect to be taken care of.  There is no request.  There are demands.  There are demands for passage to the country of their choice.  There is demands for money, housing, the food they want.  How can you charge into another country and make these demands?  I want someone to as these refugees and migrants what they would do if the situation was reversed.  I want those refugees to assure me that if this were Europe in turmoil that Syrians, Afghanistans, Egyptians and others would step up to the plate and give them everything that is being demanded of Europe from these refugees.  We have had a similiar situation here in the US for over 50 years, but the people sneaking into our country are not refugees.  They are coming here to get whatever they can.  They are pure and simple coming here for the federal benefits they can get.  Yes, there is gang activity in their countries, but we have very dangerous gangs here in the US as well and most of the members are from these countries that are dumping on us.  And they come here and demand that we give them everything they want.  There is no "request".  There is only demands.  And we have no politicians with a pair that will put a stop to it. We need Eisenhower.  Or someone who has the guts to actually put citizens first and deport all the trash that we have sneaking into our country.  And we have a president that is dead set on destroying this country.  Why? Because he does not have to live with them and his kids will not have to compete with them for jobs.  Yeah, if he had to deal with them every day and his kids were denied an education because the public school was forced to throw all their resources to the illegal kids.  If he had to sit through a school presentation and endure it in Spanish before hearing it in English that he can understand,he would have a different perspective.  But he will live on the welfare of the taxpayer for the rest of his life, and live well, I might add, so he will not have to deal with the riff raff he has thrown open the door to.  No, he will live above the rest of us who pay the bills.  He will have his head so far in lala land, just like the rest of the politicians, that he will never see nor acknowledge what he has done to the citizens of this country.  Those WW2 vets must be rolling in their graves.

Remember, write your congressman

Every congressman and senator has an email address.  Let them know what your feeling are.  It would be good if we got behind outlawing lobbying and political action committes.  It would be nice if we forced them to govern instead of being on a perpetual fundraising ride.  At our expense, I might add.  So, email your congressman and both senators.  Let them know what you want.  And I would recommend putting forth ideas that are good for the country and not just your own personal agenda. 

Humanity continues

The Catholic church does not "allow" their people to take birth control.  They tout it as in violation of God's will.  No.  It is so that the Catholic church can assure themselves of continual growth and money.  The more of their people who drop 8-10 brats, the more their ranks grow and the more money they get.  Never mind that a good chunk of those dropping those brats never get an education.  Never mind that a huge number of those illerate and ignorant people are stealing, yes stealing, from my country.  I would love to see a justification for that.  They steal everything they can.  They come here to drop their brats so that they can get those benefits.  And on it goes and the taxpayer has no say  in this.  The taxpayer has no say in how those taxes are thrown away.  We are just the cash cow for the rest of the world.  And they laugh at us for it.  The joke in Mexico is that they send us their trash. 

I would, in my lifetime, see just one congress stand up and say, we are going to work for the taxpayer and protect the taxpayer.  But that won't happen.  The illegals don't even bother to stay in the shadows anymore.  They are being hired in all our businesses and the government just lets it happen.  This country is screwed and it is the fault and direct doing of my generation.  My generation that stayed here and did dope while the poor whites, black, and Hispanics fought the Vietnam war.  The very same ones that spit on the returning troops from Vietnam.  The very same ones who didn't have the balls to do their duty.  Instead they let someone else go and die  in their place.  Oh, and we have an "Iraqi war veteran" in congress.  Arkansas was stupid enough to vote in Tom Cotton.  Tom Cotton gave himself a bronze star for being a pencil pusher.  He tarnished that medal.  That is supposed to be for bravery in combat and he had the balls to give himself one for being----a pencil pusher.  Then he gets in congress.  The Iran Nuclear deal is coming up for vote.  Cotton takes a cool million from Israel to try and block it.  He took a payoff from a foreign country.  And he has wiped his feet on our Constitution.  Hell, even Nixon had some respect for the Constitution.  The crop of politicians in Washington today do not.  There is no respect for the Constitution.  And Obama and his group of rabble rousers have devided the country so bad.  It will take several more generation to get anywhere near where we were.  Oh, and I saw where Obama's HUD chief was set to force the settlement of Section 8 residents in upscale neighborhoods.  His reasoning is that they would have better access to better jobs and schools.  He is so full of crap.  He is doing this to rub the noses of those who have made the money and cann afford to live in these neighborhoods in the fact that the government can destroy their property values and destroy their neighborhoods.  I have nothing against poor people of any color.  I have something against those on Sec. 8 who are too lazy to work and bring crime and drugs anywhere they go.  Add to that, how in hell will these people afford to keep up that upscale house?  There is a yard to maintain, repairs to be made and don't tell me that the fed will keep up the repairs.  Have you seen the section 8 housing in this country?  All those section 8 complexes are trashed.  Totally trashed.  And that is our tax money and again we have no say in how it is spent.  Am I disgusted?  Hell yes and so should every taxpayer in this country be.

Humanity

Every one is fussing over climate change.  From what I am seeing, it is already too late to reverse it.  I saw an article today saying that 5 of the Solomon Islands in the Pacific had disappeared and the rest would also disappear under rising seas.  A tribe of Native American in Louisiana are now being resettled from the land they have occupied for over 100 years because of rising seas.  Miami floods at high tide.  And that is just the US.  The rest of the world is facing it's own rising seas.  And humans keep breeding like, well, humans with no regard to what they are doing to the planet, the only one we have.  Within the last 150 years, we have effectively destroyed our own home.  And not one damn politician has the balls to demand practicing population control.  Not one damn politician has the balls to demand the use of birth control.  We just settled a bunch of Syrians in St. Louis.  One of those claiming refugee status came with 11 kids.  11 kids!  You have got to be shitting me.  There is no excuse for anyone having 11 kids.  There is no excuse for anyone having any kids while living in a refugee camp and demanding the rest of the world take care of you and that is what is happening.  Ok, they have a country.  They need to stay and fight for their own country.  By the very act of their running away tells you what kind of citizens they will be in whatever country takes them in.  If and when it comes to fighting for their new country, does anyone think they will have the guts to do so.  Of course not.  They will come here, crap all over our country and then try to move on.  Trouble is there is nowhere to move on to.  ;Mankind has effectively fornicated themselves into the beginning of oblivion for the species.  And I am not too sure that that is a bad thing.  There is nothing that mankind has done to better the health of this planet and this planet is a living thing.  Add to that it is the only home mankind has.  Mankind is the only species that will crap in their own living area and that is what we have done.  We have crapped all over our home.  We have treated the only home we have as our sewer.  Now, whatever part of mankind survives will have to live in that sewer.  But fear not, mankind will not stop fornicating and dropping babies that they don't want and cannot take care of.  I was taught you have only the children you can financially support.  I was also taught that it is prudent to practice population control.  I seem to really be in the minority.  It will become very ugly when there is not enough food and water to go around.  Then we will really see the survival of the fittest.  There will be dead bodies everywhere.  The countries in Africa and the Middle East have already polluted their homelands with too many bodies.  So what do they do?  They force their way into other countries that have taken care of their lands.  They force themselves in and promptly set about destroying the host country.  Like locusts. 

And closer to home, we no longer have a country.  We, the taxpayer, are the slaves to the illegals slithering across the border to steal us blind and they are doing so with the blessing of our very own government.  They also have lots of kids and they do so on the taxpayer's back.  Then we have to support those kids.  These people are not interested in better schooling nor anything except what they can get free.  And we have the ex-president of Mexico trying to tell us who to vote into our White House.  The same ex-president that made absolutely no effort to stem the tide of his own citizens sneaking across the border.  Why?  Because these are Mexico's poor and Mexico does not want to have to deal with them.  Add to that that they come here, work under the table, send money back to relatives in Mexico.  Mexico counts on that money.  It is actually figured into their Gross National Product.  That is a several billion dollar income for Mexico.  So of course Mexico does not want them back and do want them to be here sending money home.  We are the doormat for Mexico and Central America.  We are the cesspool for India.  And now we are becoming the cesspool for the African nations and the Middle East.  And Washington federally elected officials check their balls at the door when they walk into the legislature.  Those that came before them must be turning in their graves. 

election politics

I am really tired of the rest of the world trying to tell us, as citizens of the United States, whom we should put in our White House.  It is no one's business but ours.  And it really frosts my cheerios to have a piece of Mexican garbage like Vicente Fox trying to insert himself into our politics. Mexico and their practice of dumping their trash on us is what is putting Trump in the White House to begin with and the more this fool pushes us to not vote for him, the more determined we are to do so.  Fox makes no mention of stopping the illegal entry into our country of his citizens.  He makes no mention of reimbursing us for the billions that Mexico costs us every year with this uncontrolled invasion from that country.  He makes no mention of anything his country has done wrong. He is so intent on trashing the voters in the US and that is his only goal.  He wants the status quo to remain as it is with the welfare class from Mexico slithering across the border and camping here for the taxpayer to take care of.  I personally think it is time for an invasion.  If he can fight a preemptive war half way around the world with a country that has done nothing to us, we can damn sure fight one for the invasion that has been happening for 50 years.  Time it stopped.  We the people are going to take back our country.  The rest of the politicians had better sit up and take notice.

Politics

I haven't been on here much lately.  I am really disgusted by the world in general.  No one is even mentioning the need for population control.  The Catholic countries to the south of the United States believes in the women dropping a kid every nine months.  And the Catholic church is dead set against birth control.  But that same church which is filthy rich does nothing to help the very people they are screwing over.  The church has enough money to take care of every one of these poor but they won't do it.  However, they have no problem trashing us because we won't just throw open our borders and give they all a new house, free utilities, free medical and free food.  We are expected to fork over for every thing that slithers across our border. 
Which brings me to an article I read earlier tonight about how the rest of the world is so upset about the possibility of we the people electing Donald Trump to the Presidency.  Well, it is up to we the people, not the rest of the world.  It is our country still even though both parties have tried with all their might to hand it over to whomever wants to take it.  We are at war and the politicians will not admit it nor will they stop aiding and abetting the invaders.  We are voting for Trump for several reasons. 1) being drowned in illegal aliens 2) being forced to hand over all federal and most state benefits to the same criminals. 3) Having no say in our own government. 4) Having the pac's, the lobbyists, the banks and any foreign country that feels like meddling controlling our own country.  Tom Cotton from Arkansas took a cool million from Israel to try and kill the Iran deal in congress.  How is that not treason?  At the very least how is that not a violation of the RICO act?  We have no representative government for we the people.  We are slaves to the businesses, the foreign countries, the lobbyists, the pac's.  We are forced to work and pay taxes so that our own elected congress can give it away like candy to all these special interests.  Yes, slavery is alive and well and the middle class (what's left of it) and the working poor are the slaves.  And our own President sits in that public housing called the White House and allows Mexico to openly meddle in our politics and our country.  He does not even open his mouth concerning this.  We have illegals forming violent demonstrations and beating up citizens that are trying to attend a political rally for Donald Trump.  Why?  They don't like him.  They are criminals and they are pulling this and our elected President does not send ICE to arrest and deport them.  Our country is gone.  We will not get it back. 

Trump is being trashed for not wanting to allow in the Muslims.  I am with him on that.  We already do not know who is coming into our country.  Just recently, there was a killing in Dallas in a very upscale neighborhood.  It was a member of the drug cartel from Mexico.  He had bought a home and moved his family here illegally.  A high ranking member of the Mexican drug cartel.  And this does not bother Washington at all.  It scares the hell out of me.  There is no control and no we don't need to be bringing in more of the same.  The Muslims do not assimilate.  They don't want to be a part of our country.  They don't want to be Americans.  They want to be Muslims in America and have America cater to them.  This citizen is fed up with the way the country has gone in the last 8 years.  That is why we are supporting Trump.  We see him as our last effort to control our own country.  If that fails, we are done. Sad fate for America.  And those countries criticizing us for our choice are dependent on us for their freedom.  Had it not been for the average American in WW2, they would all be goosestepping right now.  Maybe we should have left them to their fate. 

Illegal Aliens

We are constantly bombarded with statements to shame us into letting the illegals just move right in and force us to support them.  We are told,"Oh they only work jobs that citizens won't do." And "they only want a better life for themselves and their families."  They come here to get that better life on the backs of the taxpayers.  They come here with the express purpose of getting everything they can.  And our politicians in Washington will just turn a blind eye to what they are doing to the country.  Julissa Arce.  An illegal that came here, went to secondary school free, well free for her, bought forged papers with a stolen Social Security number, applied for student loans, got all of them, went through college with these forged papers, landed a job at Goldman Sachs making 6  figures.  And helped engineer the crash of 2008.  So here we have an illegal that committed forgery, identity theft, terrorism and guess what happened to her.  Well, she got married, applied for and got a green card with these forged papers and then got her citizenship with these forged papers.  And where is she now.  She is an advocate for the rest of the worms slithering into our country hoping to do the same thing she did.  And where are our politicians that are supposed to represent the voters and citizens?  Sitting in their plush welfare digs in DC doing nothing.  Nothing.  This woman should be in prison and they do nothing.  There is not a congressman in DC that has a pair.  Our congress has been spayed and neutered by those promising votes and the lobbyist paying them big dollars to just look the other way.  Nothing will be done to stop the flow of illegals swarming into our country like roaches.  Nothing.  We will waste a ton of money on the border, build a fence that does not even slow them down and disrupt the wildlife corridors for nothing.  Why?  Because they know that all they have to do is get here and they are home free.  As soon as they hit the El Norte side of the Rio Grande, they can sign up for all kinds of benefits.  Pregnant.  Well let's get you into medicaid.  Let's get you SSI, which is welfare.  When that kid is born, then the bennies will really start to flow.  Food stamps, WIC, tanf, and everything else under the sun that citizens cannot get.  And those kids.  They don't want to go to school.  But we stick them in our schools, shoving our own kids aside.  With our own kids, we have to provide a social security number, shot record, proof of residency in the district.  Not the illegals.  They just walk into school and are immediately enrolled, provided with a translator, given free breakfast and free lunch, taught in their own language.

My nephews were here from Arkansas.  They went into a Wal Mart to buy a six pack.  One was asked for his ID.  He gave the checker, who spoke broken English, his drivers license.  She sounded out the state name and then asked if that was in Texas.  Her supervisor was standing near.  He told her that Arkansas was a state.  She went through our school system here.  She had been here since she was small.  She cannot speak English, knows nothing of the country nor does she want to.  We waste our children's education on this.  We throw our own under the buss to cater to these here breaking our laws.  Our country is in pathetic shape and we don't have even one politician with the balls to fix it.  I am disgusted with everything in Washington DC.  We need to fire them all, go overseas and hire our congressmen and women, keep them two years then deport them.  We would be money ahead.  We could pay them less than we do our present congress and no benefits.  Give them a two year H1B visa, don't allow them to bring any family and deport at the end of two years.  Think of the money we would save. 

taxes

When Mitt Romney was running for President in 2012, he stated that his income for 2011 was 2.4 million and he paid a whopping 13% in income taxes.  Well, my taxes always run at least 16% on less than 50,000.  We are being scammed and we have been getting scammed for years.  The middle class, what's left of it, and the working poor carry the weight of this entire country on it's backs.  There are no tax breaks for us.  There are no tax loopholes for us.  There is nothing but taxes.  And if you get job number 2 or three, it just ups the amount of taxes you are forced to pay.  And the illegals can file for earned income tax credits and child care credits.  We are already paying their free medical, schooling, food and on top of that we have to pay them EIC and child care.  We do indeed have a socialistic society--for the criminals.  The rest of us are so screwed.  There is no way to get ahead.  None at all.  And them we are told on top of that we need to save for a rainy day.  Well, if we do manage to save a little and we should earn $10.01 in interest, we pay taxes on that too.  I don't know about the rest of you, but my days are all rainy.  If you want to save, stick it in a cookie jar and don't tell anyone you have any money.  If you do let anyone know you have it, the government will find a way to take it from you.  And they wonder why we are so pissed off.  At this rate, I can't even afford to die.  This is just sad.  One has to laugh to keep from crying. 

Socilism

The Unites States is a socialist nation---for all the illegals.  It is not socialist for the taxpayer footing the bill.  However, illegals come here already breaking the law.  They get jobs.  They get food stamps.  They get medicaid.  They get ssi, or welfare checks.  They get housing vouchers.  They get free education for their brats. And we get screwed and without even a thank you.  And now I have heard Hillery Clinton state that she will not deport anyone and she will give a path to citizenship to all illegals.  And Bernie Sanders followed suit with agreeing with her.  Hillery has never had to wonder where her next meal is coming from.  Hillery has never had to chose between food for her daughter or paying the rent on a rat hole.  Hillery has never had to sit and dread the ringing of the doorbell knowing that it could be officers telling her her child had been killed in action.  In short, Hillery Clinton has had the proverbial silver spoon in her mouth all her life.  She does not have a clue about the working poor and the middle class nor does she give a tinkers damn.  And she thinks she is above the law.  And why not.  If she is willing to champion all these criminals stealing the taxpayer blind, why would she think she had to obey the laws of the country.  Setting up and using a private server for classified information is illegal and dangerous.  If hacked, it could have gotten our people killed.  Snowden is more of a patriot that Clinton is.  He has made a point of not revealing anything that would endanger any of our people.  Clinton just does not give a damn. 

Then we get to Sanders.  Sanders is on the oversight committee for the Veterans Administration.  Sanders did nothing to fix the VA.  Nothing.  He did nothing to force care of our returning vets.  Not one damn thing.  And he touts his days of anti-war demonstrations and protests.  Yeah.  He was military age and he did not go to Vietnam.  Think about it.  He did not go.  That means someone's son, husband, brother went in his place and maybe died in his place.  What we have in congress is my generation who did not have the balls to do their duty and take their place in the military and those that came directly behind them. They were either busy screwing and doing drugs or making money off the war.  And off the backs and bodies of our troops.  And that is what is wrong with the country now.  If Chuck Hagel had been Secretary of Defense at the time, Bengazi would not have happened.  But Obama did not like Hagel because Hagel was not a yes man and he put the troops first.  He cared about the troops because he was boots on the ground in Vietnam.  Obama could not stand that.  So we had Hillery in there. 

Of the men and women I would vote for:
Elizabeth Warren, democrat
Chuck Hagel, republican
John Huntsman, republican
Donald Trump, God only knows what party. 

All the political idiots

None of the politicians get it.  Not a damn one of them get why we are backing Trump.  Romney wants a "brokered" convention because he wants to pick the candidate and has "volunteered" himself to make the sacrifice and step in to be the candidate so Trump can't be elected.  I have news for those fools controlling the political parties.  We don't need them to elect a president.  We can write in Trump and still put him in the White House.  We the people have had on representation in Washington since Johnson, or maybe as far back as Eisenhower.  We have a bunch of spoiled brats in the congress who are there for what they can get to further their riches and force their agenda onto the populace.  Not a damn one of them has a clue what it is like to be poor in America.  Not a damn one of them has a clue about kids living in fear and gunshots and drugdealers on ever corner as the norm.  Nor do they care.  I would like to load them all on a bus and take them through the ghettos that these kids have to grow up in.  Through the abject poverty in the rural southern states, the hopelessness on the reservations.  Let them watch a family who loses a child and how these poor neighbors give money they can't spare to help bury that child.  How parents cannot take their kids to the doctor or hospital because they do not qualify for medicaid and have no money and no way of getting that much money ahead.  They treat their kids at home and hope for the best.  To see mothers in the ghetto hoping against hope that their kids can get out of the crime and poverty.  To sit side by side with child protective workers and deal with the child who has been beaten, raped by a parent.  To see a child picked up with nothing, not even clothes and that social worker frantically trying to find a place for that child.  Then I want them to tell me they "feel my pain."  That they understand how hopeless it is for those in poverty with no way out.  Let them clean grills in their fine clothes.  Let them cut wood in those expensive clothes.  Let them load and haul wood to an old woman living in a falling down house because she can't afford to use propane or electric.  She will cook what she can get on that wood cook stove.  She will try to stay warm by that wood heater.  And she is one of the lucky ones.  Yeah, I want to see all these stupid politicians experience this.  But the best we can do is elect Trump and hope like hell he will do a third of what he promises and hope like hell he will deport those criminals here and fine the hell out of the businesses hiring them.  I want to see tarriffs slapped on goods made by American companies and being shipped back here for the people trying to pay the bills to buy.  I want to see those companies stuck with their products that the American worker was not good enough to build but is good enough to buy the product.  We need a good house cleaning.  Maybe Trump can deliver that house cleaning.  I hope.  And that is why we are backing Trump. We need jobs, good jobs.  We need to not have to battle the illegals for those jobs.  Those jobs Obama touts as having created, yeah, 75% of those went to illegals.  We truly do have a socialist system here and the taxpayer is forced to pay for it for the trash of the world.  We are tired of this.  Time to hold the politicans feet to the fire.

Humans

It isn't often that I notice anything about people.  I am not a people person and I do not enjoy people watching.  That being said, I was at the Scott and White hospital today and I did notice something that just made me so sad.  A woman was in there with her mother.  The mother was in a wheel chair.  The daughter was sitting near her.  The old woman was just sitting there.  The daughter was on her smart phone and never spoke a word to her mother.  When they called her mother, she stood up, stuck her phone in her mother's purse and pushed her to the back.  She never said a word to her mother.  This struck me as just heartless.  Old people need to feel wanted and relevent.  They need interactions.  They are not dead.  This was so inconsiderate and disrespectful.  I just can't warp my mind around it.  I would give the world to have my mom back and be able to talk to her.  Then I saw a mother with three small children.  She was pregnant, very pregnant.  Her smallest was a baby.  The baby was in a stroller and the about 2 year old wanted to be in the stroller.  He was screaming and screaming.  She sat with her smart phone and ignored him. Just ignored him.  His older brother, around 4-5, calmed him.  Why in hell would that woman have children if she had no more feeling for them than that?  Humans never cease to piss me off.   Life is short and those damn smart phones do not matter.  Your family is what matters.  Sorry for the rant, but it really gets to me. 

Idiots

I have gotten really tired of both the liberals and conservatives.  There is no middle ground with them.  The liberal have kinda taken on the mantra of the Nazis.  To them, it is my way or the highway.  They taunt the police and post videos of them doing it.  The jump on the bandwagon of protecting the poor, downtrodden illegals.  They don't give a tinkers damn that we have children here in this country that go to be hungry at night.  They don't give a tinkers damn that our child protective service is a nightmare and our foster care system is really just licensed child abuse.  There are untold children that are abused in those foster homes.  And when those kids age out of the system, they are just turned out onto the streets with no training in how to live at all.  But they don't count. When the shootings went down in South Carolina, every liberal and every black activist jumped on that bandwagon.  And the shame of this is  that the law would take care of the shooter.  There is no one to be in those moldy schools, no one in the streets where these kids are being killed or lured into drugs.  There are no role models for these kids.  But they can damn well jump on the bandwagon and scream racism when it gets them attention.  Helping those kids in the ghettos would not get them their 15 minutes of fame so that is not important to them.  Building good schools for these kids is not a priority to them.  Causing trouble is a priority to them.  And there are just as many whites out there that are just as bad as the blacks.  We see it every day.  The parents would rather shoot up than be a mom or dad.  I find it shameful.
Now lets get to the liberals.  They will jump on any bandwagon that gives them a feel good moment.  Never mind that they are really not helping anyone or anything.  They have their feel good moment and that is what is important.
And the conservatives.  They are a disgrace to the word.  They are not conservatives.  They are another form of Hitler.  This form is that they own the country and we should just be glad they let us live here and pay us a pittance but only because they are forced to by the government.  We should have no rights.  And we have precious few.  However, the illegals have all the rights.  They have the right to free schooling.  They have the right to free medical.  They have their kids so they will then have the right to food stamps, tanf, wic, housing and whatever else they can steal from us.  The conservatives are ok with this because they get cheap labor and they use the illegals to hold down wages to citizens.  So, the name of the game is screw the taxpayer. Screw the hell out of the taxpayer.  And no one can understand why we like Trump.  Because with Trump, maybe, just maybe we will have a chance of surviving.  But we really aren't counting on it.  There is no common sense.  There are no politicians that give a damn about the middle class and the working poor.  We are just there to be sucked dry and discarded.  So we rally for Trump and hope like hell he will deliver for us.

Analyzing the candidates.

I just read an interview with Dr. Carson.  I believe if he has let this personality show while on the campaign trail, he would have had a much better following.  Reading his beliefs really showed what kind of man he is.  He did grow up poor in the ghetto.  He knows racism and he knows classism.  His take is that what is being passed off today as racism is really classism.  He was asked if Flint, Michigan could have happened if it was a white neighborhood.  His answer was that if this would not have happened in either an affluent black or white neighborhood.  That what happened in Flint was classism.  I agree totally with him.  It is the poor that gets shafted and it does not matter skin color.

Another thing that Dr. Carson hit on is that Obama cannot understand the world that Dr. Carson came from.  That Obama was raised white.  This is what I have said all along.  Obama is white.  He was raised by white affluent parent and grandparents.  He attended affluent white schools and prep schools.  He is white.  He is also the first African-American president.  Not black American president, but African-American president.  If Dr. Carson were elected, he would be the first black American president.  He understands the plight of both black and white poor.  I like the man.  I just wish he has shown this side before.  And I hope he stays in the race.  If for nothing else, to knock out Cruz.  Cruz is a very dangerous person.  I won't call him a man because he isn't.  He has no conscience.  He has no empathy.  He is an empty suit that sees himself as emperor.  Cruz and what he wants is his one goal.

So my ideal team would be Trump for president and Dr. Carson for vice president.  Make no mistake, Trump is smart and can read people and situations.  He is very up on world politics.  So I have picked my team.  I want them to win.

Illegal Immigrants

The illegal immigrants are still flowing into our country screaming persecution from the drug cartels.  I have never bought that.  They are coming here for the free stuff they can get and to have their anchor babies for their path to citizenship.  I for one am very fed up with it.  They are not fleeing the cartels.  They are bringing the cartels with them.  We have 11 million so the government is telling us.  My guess is that it is at least 30 million and probably 50 million.  And they cost the US taxpayer $6 billion a year.  For that money we could have state of the art schools all over the country.  This is wrong on so many levels.  It is time we took back our country.  It is time we kicked out the opportunists and that is what they are.  They don't give a tinkers damn about being citizens.  They are here for the free stuff they can get.  And the media keeps trying to make us feel guilty about not wanting them.  No mention is made of the thousands of children in the system being shuffled from foster home to foster home and facing abuse.  No mention is made of those same foster children, upon aging out at 18, just being put out on the street with no job prospects, no training and no support network.  No mention is made of the children living in the ghettos and dodging bullets while they play.  No mention is made of the sorry state of our schools in these ghettos and poor areas of the country.  No mention is made of the fact that all our schools are flooded with illegals that do not speak English and all our resources have to be used to try and educate them.  Those pushing for rights for these criminals don't give a damn about their own citizens.  And those pushing for those rights do not have to live shoulder to shoulder with those illegals.  Those pushing for those rights do not have to stand in line behind them at the grocery store, watch them load up a shopping cart with $00-500 in groceries and pay with a Lone Star card (welfarre), and load those groceries in a new Cadallac Escalade.  The only time they come in contract with them is when they are telling them how to cut their grass or clean their house.  It is 50 years past time for this to stop.

What we need to do

What the citizens of this country need to do is form a committee in every county, pick a candidate, send them to a state committee and each state select a candidate.  We would have to coordinate with the rest of the states, but it can be done.  Pick the most viable candidates and the ones that show that they understand the citizens and what they want.  Then the states narrow it down to one.  Then we put him or her out there on the ballot.  We chose our own candidate.  We elect our own candidate.  We reject whom we do not want.  Or do it like a jury selection.  Every committee has strikes.  Those left standing after the strikes are the ones we chose from.  It would for sure beat the hell out of what we have had since WW2.  We have no statesmen in Washington.  We have nothing but politicians there to take bribes from lobbyists.  Tom Cotton from Arkansas comes to mind.  He is a blowhard and a fool intent on getting rich off his service.  While in the military, he engineered a Bronze star for pencil pushing.  I'm sorry those medals are for those who pushed through bullets, blood, and guts and walked out the other side.  He did not.  And he was paid a cool million to block the Iran Nuclear Deal in congress.  Rand Paul traveled to Guatemala to undermine the US policy in trying to stem the flow of illegals. We have a bought and paid for congress.  And they are in now way representing us.  Neither is the White House and it has not since Eisenhower.  Eisenhower deported the illegals to make room for our returning service men to have jobs.  He took care of Americans.  No one since has had the balls nor the intent to do so.  So, we need to pick our own candidates.  If we don't, then we just get more of the same.  Lobbyists are the new Mafia.  And until lobbying is outlawed, we will not have a government.  It should be illegal for any congressman or senator to even speak to a lobbyist.  It should be a felony punishable by 20 years in prison to take money from a lobbyist.  And it damn sure should be illegal and an act of treason to deal with a lobbyist from a foreign country.
