TRUMP

Let me start by saying I have no love for Trump. I think his "reality show" (or any "reality show") is pure crap, and only idiots would watch any of them, at least not without being drunk  or high and wanting a few laughs.

I think he is an egomaniac. I think he knowingly tells lies. I don't think he is nearly as smart as he claims.

That being said, I admire him for having the balls to say what he thinks, to fuck political correctness, and to have managed, despite all his faults, to win the Presidency.

I agree with a lot of the things he says he wants to do: build a wall, deport illegals, stop unvetted immigration, stop providing aid to anyone and everyone (domestic or foreign), shut the door on liberally biased media, end trade agreements that only benefit foreign entities, bring the Supreme Court back to the job of supporting the Constitution, as written, rather than rewriting it based on progressive interpretations, strengthening the 1st and 2nd amendments, getting government out of the healthcare business, take down ISIS anywhere and everywhere without restrictions, and enforce the laws we already have.

I know there were many who were disgusted when Obama won his elections, and there were some demonstrations, including burning American flags, hanging Obama in effigy, and signs and banners with foul language. Honestly though, I don't recall anything close to what we're seeing now from the disgruntled democrats.

I think Obama was presidential during his reign, though I don't agree with many of the things he said or did. I think he was gracious during the transfer of power. I think Hillary, though not at first, accepted what happened as well as one could hope. But, the rank and file democrats, is quite a different story. I don't care if they want to whine and moan and bitch and demonstrate; but, when they start resorting to violence, and destruction, and interfering with the rights of others, I have no problem with jailing them, or even shooting them if need be. They may think blocking a major freeway or bridge or airport is just exercising their right to free speech. I say it is tantamount to kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault, and even terrorism. Fuck 'em. If they want to block O St. in Lincoln, and I happen to be going that way, I'll run the motherfuckers down until my truck can no longer get traction due to the bodies and blood, and then I'll pull out my Glock and start shooting until I have no ammo left (and I have a lot).

Long live the United States and freedom!

I'll be damned!

I never would have thought it would happen, but Donald Trump is going to be our new President. That's pretty clear now, unless someone decides to assassinate him before the inauguration. I hope he at least gets a chance to show what he can do, or screw things up, whichever comes first.

It should be apparent that I'm not a huge fan of Trump, but at least he says the things someone needs to say without worrying about the political fallout. We should build a wall, even if we have to pay for it. We should stop immigration from Syria, or all Muslims for that matter, until we are 100% sure they are not terrorists. We should cut back on foreign aid. We should stop being the world's policemen. We should have a strong military. We should stop supporting people who simply choose to be supported. We should say "fuck you" to countries who accept our aid but flip us off because they don't like us. We should cut back on government.

Mr. Trump obviously likes to be liked. Maybe he's in this thing for the wrong reasons, but if being liked is his real goal, then he will do whatever it takes to get the most people to like him. If he brings more jobs, if he makes us safe, if he lowers our tax burden, if he keeps us out of wars to save the unsaveable, what's not to like?

TIPPING POINT?

I knew our country was gradually succumbing to the liberal mantra and political correctness for quite some time now. I had hopes that with the election of Trump, liberals would take a step back and think about what they are doing, and realize that a great many Americans do not share their progressive views. Yes, it was a fairly close election, yet conservatives managed to pull it off, much to the surprise of even themselves. You would think that this might bring about a moment of reflection among the masses of liberal progressives who for so long now have seemed to feel that anyone who didn't agree with them had to be a racist, or ignorant, or worse. It never dawned on any of them for even a second that maybe they could be wrong about anything.

However, Trump's victory seems to have them doubling down on their progressiveness. I never even dreamed this could happen, and if you had told me it could, I would have thought you were nuts. I never thought liberals were stupid; I just thought they had a lot of bad ideas and were quite full of themselves. But, then it happened!

An administrator for a public school informed students that they would no longer be allowed to display the U.S. flag on school property. If it wasn't bad enough already that you couldn't celebrate Christmas, or use certain words; at least, there was some logic behind the idea that we shouldn't offend others with our religious preferences or ethnic slurs.

But to ban the flag? Who are we offending with the flag? Aren't we all Americans? Well, maybe not those who came here illegally, but do we owe them any kind of respect? I'd just about guarantee you that if an illegal alien, or anyone else, were to burn a U.S. flag on school property, nothing would be done about it. It would be considered an act of expression protected by the first amendment. Yet, an actual citizen is prohibited from being proud to be an American and expressing that pride by displaying and honoring the flag?

Had the decision to ban displays of the flag not been rescinded shorty after it hit the news, I hate to think what might have happened. If you think the people who went to the polls to stand up against big government and political correctness would have simply accepted this slap in the face, I think you are dreaming. I was about to put my flag on the back of my Harley and ride out there to parade it all over the campus, and I think there would soon have been thousands of others joining me. I think that administrator and anyone else supporting or connected to that decision would have, at best, been looking for a new job (and having trouble finding one). I can't even imagine what else might have followed.

I'd say I'm surprised, but I'm not, that this didn't make the national news, or crippled the Internet with tweets and Facebook posts. I'm not surprised the media didn't pick up on it, because they probably supported the ban. The fact that it was rescinded so quickly probably kept it from going viral on the Internet, but I think it should yet.

ELECTION DAY 2016

Needless to say, those of us who want to protect our gun rights should vote for Donald Trump. Still, I can't bring myself to do it. As much as I dislike Hillary and her liberal agenda, I find it impossible to vote for a buffoon who can only articulate at a 3rd grade level.

Anyone with an ounce of integrity could only voter for Trump as a last resort to try and keep Hillary from office. I can understand that, but I can't bring myself to do it. It's not that I don't admire Trump for speaking his mind and refusing to be politically correct. The problem is that he appears to have an IQ of around 60.

It could be that he is much smarter than he appears, and that he knows this elementary level vocabulary he uses will win him votes, but if you have to appeal to idiots in order to get elected, I'm not sure you're the person I want representing me.

I don't believe the media that Republicans are less educated than Democrats. After all, who has the money? If we're so stupid, why are we doing so much better than the Democrats? I don't doubt there are more Democratic graduates with liberal arts degrees, and they may outnumber Republicans with any kind of degree, but is that truly an education? No, that is brainwashing by the liberal arts colleges and universities that provides a meaningless and worthless degree.

WOW

That's about all I can with all that's been happening locally and around the world since I last posted.

Well, maybe I can say more. Like, suck it national media! While I'm no big Trump fan, I'll sure as Hell enjoy seeing the national media eating crow for the next four or eight years if Donald gets elected. It's looking more and more like he will. His good points: non-politically correct and unafraid to speak his mind and an outsider when it comes to Washington. His bad points, he speaks his mind without regard for the political consequences and he has few true friends in Washington. The good points may just well be what gets him elected; the bad points may spell doom for anything he tries to do here or abroad and could turn some of our allies against us.

I'm hoping he's really smarter than he appears and that once elected he will tone it down enough to gain some cooperation from those who can help him achieve some of his stated goals.

Aside from being a gun grabbing liberal and most likely causing an increase in taxes for the working class and well to do, I don't think she'll ruin the country any more than it already is. Then again, she might keep moving in the direction of protecting everyone but straight white people to the point where they can do no wrong and us poor bastards will take the blame.
