NOT what we were looking for....not even a little.


I am not going to jump into this too deeply, preferring to let the pundits parse the language and thought behind it before I determine what I think right looks like.  But, I wanted to put something out there because, let’s face it…I am bored, its’ Friday night, you’ve been drinking and you are pissed.

Of course I am referring to President Trump signing the “Omnibus Spending Bill” today; a bill that by ALL accounts is a loser for the American people.  And by ALL accounts, I am also acknowledging that the democrats consider it a victory for their ongoing revolution (sort of like the tax payer funding the lefts’ treachery), therefore competing the circle of suck for the American people.

I am not going to go into the semantics of a “spending bill” versus a “budget” or a “continuing resolution” or a threatened “government shutdown” and what the language of one does allow for and not allow for.  What I KNOW is that the congress (both houses) are required by law to pass a “budget”, which is….a BUDGET, like the one you likely use in your house (but you use real dollars, don’t rob others and, if you are smart, stop spending right about the time you run out of money), and I also KNOW that congress hasn’t done that properly in about a decade.  I do KNOW that the left has elevated the “government shutdown” to a black mail tool, knowing that, with the assistance of an increasingly biased media, they can always cast the “shut down” as a republican function, one that keeps the boy scout troop out of the ST Louis Arch and 96 year old WWII veterans from the gravesides of their fallen veterans; a republican outrage.   I KNOW these things, and you should too, whether or not you do.  I also KNOW, based on what they DO, that the left gives not a shit about what is good for America, or in simpler terms, America in general……America and Americans are not “part of the plan”.

I also know this.  I voted for President Trump, despite the fact that we all know that he is not a true conservative.  He was an outsider, desperately needed by Americans, as anyone would be whom Americans thought could un-screw the progressive march towards national suicide.  And given what I think I know about the alternatives at the time, I would vote for President Trump again.  I have the knack, as most of you probably do as well, to see from the lies and distortions of the left, to understand the motives of the left relative to their actions, not what they say (though, both are increasingly similar).  But today, at face value, the President severed a tie between himself and people like me that voted for him.  He and the vice President, by LAW are the only two, nationally elected officers in this country, and NATIONALLY we voted for border security, a strong defense, law and order and an end to statism and the deep state.  Now, into the second year following that vote, we have gotten none of that.  The words are right, the results are wrong.

To be fair, we had no true understanding of how the left and the media would turn on this nation following the election.  Some of us, me included, thought that the enemies of the Constitution would pause to lick their wounds, not ramp up and come out in the open.  Few of us realized that the election was, for the left, their public relations Tet offensive, allowing them to come out in the open, even if suffering defeat.  Rather than re-group, even pause, the left attacked and showed that they do not care that the people lawfully elected the two only nationally elected officers; they didn’t care and they were not going to play….they were not going to let the people have their way.  I’ll be honest, even I was take aback by the brazenness of the lefts’ oppression, and now its’ increased oppression through the media and academia.  I did not understand how the left itself would establish itself as a stand-alone government, through which change and improvement would not be allowed.

But our, my, lack of understanding doesn’t change the fact that, people like me, who voted for President Trump, assuming that a congressional majority would work with him, feel betrayed.  I don’t blame the President as much as I blame the GOP in congress.  They either didn’t get the memo, or don’t give a crap or are so ingrained in the system that they don’t understand.  But the GOP in congress has proven to be the staunch allies of the left, so thoroughly that they are indistinguishable…..that there is now no conservative element, no constitutional element to congress.  I don’t blame the President, but others will.  The media will, Schumer and Pelosi already have (I think that is what Pelosi was doing…who the hell knows with that mental case…….I am telling you…..the whistle on that train is fading into the distance), and those that accepted Trump grudgingly will.

But I trust him for now.  I trust that somehow he has a plan, something up his sleeve, some strategy to turn this dramatic loss into a failure, to shove this up the ass of the left like the left shoves their shit up the ass of America at every opportunity. 

But for now, the President has separated himself from his followers, from his supporters….and he will need to work like Santa’s elves on Christmas eve to get some of them back.
