WARREN DISRESPECTS NATIVE AMERICANS—NOT TRUMP

POCAHONTAS NOT A RACIAL SLUR

The President called out Senator Warren as a “Pocahontas” during a ceremony to honor the Navaho “Code Talkers” on November 27, 2017 at the White House.   The major news outlets went ballistic.....calling the President’s remarks “ a racial slur” and claiming he disprespects Native Americans.  

The Navaho Code talkers were Native Americans who heroically served in WWII in front line units to send and receive messages that were impossible for highly trained and elite German code breakers to decode.  The Navaho simply spoke to each other using their own native language which was unknown to US enemies.  Their service was invaluable in winning the war and they were rightly honored.   

But the news media all ignored the facts and missed the President’s point when he included a dig against Senator Elizabeth Warren in his remarks honoring the Navaho.  

That is that Senator Elizabeth Warren is KNOWN TO HAVE LIED when she falsely claimed to have Native American heritage to take advantage of the the government’s affirmative action program. It is well documented that when she applied for entrance to Harvard Law School she falsely identified  herself as a “ Native American”.  

In effect, her false statement denied a real Native American from access to the position she occupied at highly selective Harvard Law.  When we examine the facts of who disrespected Native Americans rights and privileges and who should be called out for hypocrisy...it is not the President.   

LYNCHING JUDGE ROY MOORE

Lynching Judge Roy Moor


In the 1940 novel “The Oxbow Incident”  Walter V T Clark tells a tragic tale of the brutal lynching of four innocent cowhands in Nevada of 1885.  Clark’s novel relates how a group of vigilantes  capture four men they believe are cattle rustlers and the killers of a local rancher.   Instead of bringing these men back to face a court of justice, the mob brutally hang them..  After their heinous deed, the vigilante posse returns to town.  On the way, the vigilantes encounter the supposed victim—the rancher— alive and well and  taking part in a formal sheriff’s  posse seeking to apprehend the actual rustlers.  In recent weeks our nation seems to have regressed back into 19th Century “frontier justice” described in Clark’s novel.  

In these last weeks we have been barraged by waves of allegations of male sexual predation. The media-driven accusations have led to summary justice—“lynchings”—with the accused suffering loss of reputation, firing, expulsion, and worse.   As in the actual lynchings of 19th century’s frontier justice—at the end of a rope in the recent wave of allegations of predatory behavior there has been no attempt to provide an impartial inquiry, no  judge presides, there is no presentation to a body of peers, or ability of the accused to respond to their accuser.  All we observe is the drumbeat of allegations dug up by and for journalists who, too often ignore the search for the truth and are only eager to  post a new and scandalous story so as to sell more air time or more newspapers—or tip the political balance in a direction they prefer.  

To compound the injustice and the danger to our democracy,  in too many cases there is a powerful and clear underlying political agenda motivating the newspaper investigators and media types.  Both the left and the right are guilty.  But in the Roy Moore case the element of political motivation is the elephant in the room and is impossible  to ignore.  The loss of the Alabama Senate seat, could tip the knife edge balance of that body back into Democrat hands.  Such a scenario could lead to upending the President’s tax and trade agenda. More importantly it is the lynchpin of the underlying holy grail of the left and its all pervasive strategic objective...impeachment.  In such circumstances we must all be circumspect in examining the allegations against Roy Moore.

In this process our so-called “investigative journalists”. seem to forget that than an “allegation” is just an assertion—an unsupported statement— with no proof, that someone has done something illegal.  The USA and the rest of the civilized world has long ago developed a systematic way to evaluate allegation of illegality  through our justice system—a confrontational process—between the accused and the accuser in an impartial setting which begins with the presumption that a person is innocent until proven guilty.

“Innocent until proven guilty” has a long legal history.  It may have first appeared in ancient Roman Law and certainly appeared in the legal codex of Roman Emperor Justinian, Justinian Code, (@500 AD) It is clearly stated as “Every man is presumed  innocent until proven guilty” in the French  “Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens” (1789).

I don’t know if the allegations against Moore are true or not.  But I do object to the character assassination  and political lynching of a person simply based on allegations that are in most cases four decades old.  His response to these unproven claims that  he is innocent, deserves our attention as well as the alleged behaviors claimed by his accusers.  Let’s not regress to Nevada frontier justice. Let’s not descend to mob rule. .


On another matter.   CNN and MSNBC continue to unjustly and erroneously  label Judge Moore  a ‘paedophile”’.   Of what we know of the allegations against Moore, not one of his accusers were prepubescent children nearly four decades ago when these actions are alleged to have occurred.  The actual definition of paedophila is one who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent (immature) children.  The constant mis-use of the term  is an example of the “big lie” form or propaganda used in North Korea and Communist China. It  underscores a purposeful attempt at disinformation, left wing political machinations and bias.  It undermines and weakens any actual allegations against Roy Moore.

TWO YOUNG LEADERS, HISTORY, WAR-THREATS AND IMPRECISE SPEECH

NORTH KOREA AND SAUDI ARABIA BOTH THREATEN WORLD PEACE



Santayana: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

The US is faced with a growing threat of war—in North Korea, with a recalcitrant, young, inexperienced, nuclear-armed leader: Kim Jung Un.  And half way around the globe an even more tense situation is developing in the Middle East.  No, not between the Arabs and Israelis, but between Sunni and Shia  Moslem sects represented by Saudi Arabia and Iran. This other hot spot for war—around the world from North Korea—and with another too young, inexperienced leader is being championed by our government, but is more of a threat to world peace than North Korea. In both cases careless and imprecise speech can tip the balance toward disaster.

Saudi Arabia (SA) is a  nation governed as if it existed in the Middle Ages.  It is a an anachronistic 21st Century absolute monarchy.  There is no constitution, bill of rights, or meaningful representative parliament. The people do not have the right to pick their own leaders.  Political power is transferred not by election, but by fiat and inheritance among the so called “royal” family.  Saudi Arabia is one of the wealthiest nations in the world due to its production and massive reserves of petroleum. It is also in what seems the absolute control of a young and inexperienced  young leader—Prince Mohammed bin Salman.  A mere four years ago this young man was a wet-behind-the-ears 28 year-old apprentice attorney.  Then his uncle— King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia—died—-bringing Salman’s  aged father to the throne in 2015.

The new king is elderly, weak physically, and reputedly suffering from dementia. He has essentially given the levers of real power to his  young son, Prince Mohammed bin Salman.   The young man was swiftly ushered through the Arabian  equivalent of a Roman “cursus honorum”. In short order, Salman was transformed into the most powerful, youngest and most inexperienced head of state in Saudi Arabia’s history.

Prince Salman took over the reins of power at a time when the world is experiencing an oil glut.  SA is no longer flush with petro-dollars thanks to a business down-turn and new US geo-technology (fracking) that has the potential to keep prices low.  In these dire economic circumstances Saudi Arabia, a nation inured to spendthrift  habits,  has quickly  burned through a third of its financial reserves.  But young Salman ignored the need for spending restraint and cut backs.  Instead, he turned to brash and dangerous behaviors at home and abroad to strengthen his position of domestic power and muffle the  hollow sounds from the coffers of the SA treasury.   At home, he ordered the arrest of 11 princes of his own family, and nearly 200 members of the nation’s business and political elite.  He is rumored to have tortured these wealthy elite and stripped them of their wealth. Others are forced to release their assets to him for a pardon, or for better treatment in prison.  His actions frightened the investment community which has reacted by retreat and shunning new SA investment.  He blockaded the tiny nation state of Qatar, threatening them financially and militarily.  He brow beat other Arab Sunni states to do the same.   He intervened militarily in Yemen against the Houthi rebels (a Shia group) who were fighting a civil war against an unpopular and tyrannical Sunni leader.   His US supplied and supported air force has illicitly bombed civilian targets with abandon, killing tens of thousands of civilians and bringing world condemnation.  These actions pushed that desperately poor nation to the edge of a humanitarian health and famine crisis.  The Yemen war is not growing well for SA and the Houthis still control most of the nation and its capital.  He has attempted to destabilize neighboring Lebanon by recalling Saudi associated Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri (a Sunni) to SA and placing him in house arrest in Riyadh.  And while there, he had reputedly forced Hariri to resign his political post in Lebanon in an attempt to undermine the Lebanese government. These military and foreign policy adventures have gained him little, and cost a great deal to the treasury and to the reputation of Saudi Arabia.

But most egregiously he seems eager to start a war with Iran a neighbor-state which he sees as a religious and regional competitor.  Saudi Arabia on its own is not a military match for populous,  powerful, technically advanced, Iran, governed by the Shia mullahs.   Such a war would be a world wide  disaster, drawing in the major powers including the USA and Russia.

The danger is that as in North Korea, there is no one counseling restraint to this brash young, inexperienced leader the Prince of Saudi Arabia.

Mr. Trump is preoccupied elsewhere—-with another young and inexperienced despot.  He also seems to be making the same mistake that the Bush (41) foreign policy team made just prior to the First Gulf War.  At that time, again during a period of sagging oil prices, Saddam Hussein had  massed troops on its border, threatening its  neighbor Kuwait.   Saddam claimed Kuwait was cheating Iraq of billions of dollars in oil sales.  It was true.  He was hopping mad because Kuwait was pumping oil in excess of OPEC’s quotas. Pumping quotas were set by OPEC to buoy oil prices. Kuwait ignored the quotas which helped to sustain the oil glut and suppress oil prices—costing Iraq and other producers.    But Kuwait’s excess oil production was in large part produced by secret  “slant drilling”.  Sending their oil pipes under the Iraq border and into Iraq’s own oil reservoir.  So in effect, Kuwait was keeping prices low—harming Iraq’s profits—by pumping and selling off—not its oil,  but Iraq’s oil! Iraq’s anger was justified.

President George Bush (41)  sent Iraqi Ambassador April Gillespie to confront Saddam about the massed troops and saber rattling on 25th of July 1990.  But she seems to have failed to make it clear to the Iraqi despot  that the US would vigorously object to any attack on Kuwait. Transcripts of her conversations seem to indicate that she directed Saddam to “take care of this Arab issue yourself”. In the end Saddam Hussein seems to have concluded that the US objections were only of the vigorously verbal sort.  He assumed Bush would NOT field a US army to save Kuwait from Saddam’s anger.  He was very much mistaken.

In retrospect Bush and Gillespie could have avoided the First Gulf War and perhaps the even more disastrous  aftermath and continuation of that war —Bush junior’s Iraq War and what has been described as “the worst blunder in American foreign policy” — had the first President Bush and his envoy been perfectly clear in their language regarding the consequences of the invasion of  Kuwait with Saddam.  They were not!  Imprecise speech permitted or helped to precipitate a horrible war.

In the present situation, Mr. Trump, who  starts with a handicap since he habitually speaks, loosely and imprecisely in his  easily misinterpreted New York dialect.  He should NOT make the same mistakes of IMPRECISE SPEECH perpetrated by Bush (41) and April Gillespie in 1990 which resulted in disaster.

President Trump on his first foreign trip abroad to Saudi Arabia has already spoken carelessly and unwisely when he made the error of lauding the Saudi monarchy with unnecessary complimentary language, giving the impression (perhaps falsely) that he supported the policies of the Prince.   At a later date he unwisely supported brash young and inexperienced Prince Salman in regard to the  Quatar blockade.  Our US military support of SA in the humanitarian disaster in Yemen continues to this day.  And to make matters worse, our President  continues to verbally attack the Iranian leadership...as he was wont to do during the loose “get me elected” speech of the campaign.  His campaign speech for domestic consumption does not  belong in the sphere of diplomacy,   And now, sadly and with a threat to us all, he seems to be repeating the mistakes of Bush 41 and April Gillespie—by sending the wrong and misleading messages as he cuts the deck bindings of  a loose cannon in the Middle East.  Perhaps President Trump is not aware of how former President Bush stumbled into a disastrous war in 1990 with misleading imprecise language.

It was George Santayana who reminded us that: “Those who do not know the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them.”

Let’s hope someone reminds him of Bush 41 and the Gulf War.

Trump must make  it clear to Prince  Mohammed bin Salman that a war with Iran is off the table.

KILLING ELEPHANTS AIN’T SPORT

I read with anger that the Trump Administration is going to rescind the regulations on importation of elephant parts that were put in place during the Obama Administration.  Too bad.  The phony story that goes along with this decision is that the two countries that were impacted: Zimbabwe and Zambia will now be able to attract rich Americans who get their jollies from killing innocent wildlife —cutting off their heads and bringing them home to the USA to hang on the walls of their palatial mansions.  Hinting “trophies” like this are just a monument to the stupidity and ignorance of the so called “hunter”.  The funds they spend will supposedly be used for “wildlife preservation”.   This policy may have had some legitimacy thirty years ago. But today elephant herds are so reduced in numbers that each and every individual is a precious genetic component of our world natural heritage.  No one person has the right to reduce it,    Such acts are reprehensible in light of the fact that almost all wildlife is existentially threatened by loss of habitat, poaching, and loss of genetic diversity.  There can be no adequate “management” of wildlife which are suffering from collapsing populations, shrinking habitat and poaching.

There is no explanation for such stupidity.

If these nouveau-rich types want to do something worthwhile they might invest some money in efforts to prevent poachers from killing elephants indiscriminately and for the ivory trade which sadly still goes on.

The days of so called “game” hunting are long gone.  When I was a youngster in the 1950s there were millions of elephants in Africa. Hunting might have been a “sport” then,  Today there are only 350,000 left.  Perhaps only 5% or 10% of their natural total population.  Elephants have complex social interactions within their herds and killing trophy tuskers has a detrimental effect on the survival of the entire herd. There is no place in our modern world for “trophy hunters”.

The answer to the population crisis of the African elephant (and other wildlife) is a moratorium on all hunting, protection from poaching, and protection of habitat.

No to importing elephant parts into the USA from Africa!

FAILED BUSH PRESIDENTS BASH TRUMP—WHAT NERVE

BUSHES BASH TRUMP IN UPCOMING BOOK—WHAT CHUTZPAH1


(November 3, 2017)

Excerpts from a book on the failed father and son presidencies of the Bush family by  Mark Updegrove entitled “The Last Republicans” have hit the airwaves and newspapers.  In the brief  publicity excerpts released both Bush presidents are quoted as bad-mouthing the present Republican president, Donald Trump.

Both Bushes have a lot of nerve.

I can somewhat excuse the elder George Bush, #41 he is now in his nineties and his dotage.  He was a one term President who initiated the first Iraq War fiasco—when his foreign policy team mistakenly or by omission gave the green light for a Kuwait invasion to Iraq President Saddam Hussein. His weak performance in the White House and on the campaign led to the Clinton Presidency—another failed and destructive presidency...

His son, George H W Bush  No. 43 headed  the most disastrous presidency and foreign policy disasters of the Republic. Young Bush gave over much of decision making (knowingly or innocently) to his Vice President Cheney...who led the young, inexperienced, not too bright Bush into the disaster of the Iraq War.   A war of choice in which he and his Vice President deceived and cajoled the nation into fighting using cherry-picked data that claimed that dictator Saddam Hussein had “weapons of mass destruction”.  Which almost everyone knew was not true.  The Iraq War turned out to be a three trillion dollar political, financial and foreign policy disaster (and still counting) that caused thousands of American deaths and the loss of life of hundreds of thousands of. Innocent civilians and made refugees of millions.  The war and its aftermath destabilized a vast swath of the Middle East and led to political turmoil and the mass migrations and economic and cultural impacts that engulfed the Middle East and Europe and much of the western world.  We continue to this very day to deal with the Bush disaster which spawned the rise of al Qaida, ISiS and the lingering (15 years so far) wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen.  These were Bush wars.  Mr. Obama to his discredit continued to half heartedly fight them too.

Mr. Bush should have been prosecuted and punished for his perfidy in getting this nation into the never ending Iraq war.  But bashing Mr. Trump just brings to mind (or should) just how bad a leader he was.  He would be wise to keep his mouth shut, keep painting pictures and disappear into the brush of West Texas.  

KUDOS TO DONNA BRAZLE

THANKS DONNA FOR THE TRUTH

Ms Donna Brazile, a DC journalist I always irked..until it was revealed that see purloined questions from her journalist colleagues to feed to Hillary Clinton prior to the Trump Clinton Presidential debate, has in part revised her reputation.

But Donna’s new book “Hacks” in which she reveals that extent of the Clinton take over of the party machinery and the blatant rigging of the Democrat Party nomination process to insure that Clinton was the winner...throws the Clintons, the Obamas, and others under the bus.  A wise move for a political party that must move on to survive.  I wish her well.  We need a viable two party system.

Clinton was the worst, most hated, most divisive candidate theDemocrats could have chosen.  Her long history of corruption, lies, and misdeeds all contributed to her loss.  No need to blame it on the Russians.  The weak and powerless DNC, and the aggressive, scheming  cash flush-Clintons who took over a national party to make it their own—who denied the nation a fair shot at a wide diversity of candidates and who practically insured the election of almost any Republican candidate—all made failure in font of the American voter inevitable...and contributed to the weakened state of our nation and both parties.


If George Bush 43 and the Clintons had never made it to the national scene I can not help but wonder—would we be in the parlous state we now find ourselves?

I think not.

TALES FROM THE SWAMP

MUDDLED, MUDDY-MUELLER DC-SWAMP STORIES

The slime stories coming out of the mire and muck of lowland DC in the last few weeks are so confusing and difficult to unravel or digest. They reveal rampant corruption, a capitol awash with global cash and politically motivated fake news.  They reveal collusion and politicization of our domestic intelligence agencies, mis-deeds of the Obama Administration after the election and before the inauguration, pay-off from Russian investors to the Clintons, pay out of the Clintons to Russians for fake dirt on Trump, and revelations of the former DNC chair that the Democrat nomination process was rigged to favor Clinton long before any nomination votes were cast.  And finally, thee seems to be evidences of the last gasps of the awful Bush and Clinton dynasties.   Here is a —too long—I fear— attempt to put some meat on those bones,

WHO LIES?
We now know that President Trump, whom the media try to characterize as an inveterate liar is in fact probably the most open and honest president we have had since Jimmy Carter,  Trump simply says what he thinks.  He does not take time to parse his words or prevaricate.   Also, he speaks in a casual (and unfortunate ) New York outer-borough vernacular which can add to the confusion.  The left takes advantage of his verbal imprecision, parsing his every word literally ( as if he was Janet Yellin) and ignoring the underlying meaning.  He is also be misinformed at times, but this author suggests he does not purposely tell an untruth or lie.  When he speaks he believes what he says.  But almost everyone else in DC lies naturally. It is expected!  In DC  lying is almost as natural a response as the  autonomic nerve response—like breathing.  When you are surrounded by liars—telling the truth becomes the big lie.    See below.


MUELLER FISHING EXPEDITION—DEAD END
Former FBI head Robert Mueller now ensconced as the DC  “inquisitor general” has finally charged someone—but it seems his charges are far removed from his mandate which was to examine Russian interference in the 2016 election.  Many characterize his recent investigations as proof of a politically motivated  “fishing expedition”.    After many months as Special Counsel, spending enormous sums establishing a battalion sizers team headed by 14 or 15  democrat-leaning high pay-scale attorneys as associates —he has finally indicted someone.

In recent days Messers Manafort and Gates were indicted for alleged MONEY LAUNDERING  RELATED TO A 2014 UKRAINE CONTRACT  as well as failure to register as a foreign agent ( a misdemeanor).  Manafort did have a connection with Trump—a tenuous one.  For a few short months he was the Trump Campaign Chairman.  He was called in briefly when Trump won the nomination and needed specific help to nail down electoral college votes.  The alleged crimes of Manafort and Gates (his associate) were dredged  up by Mueller from as far back as 2014....long before Mr. Trump even thought of running for President.  If these two men are guilty of something—they did it long before they had anything to do with Trump.   Long prior to election  money laundering and lobbying for Ukraine are far removed from the Mueller mandate to determine if and how Russia interfered with our 2016 election.

In order counter claims by Trump supporters that the charges against Manafort were outside the special counsel mandate, Mueller simultaneously revealed the “red herring”  guilty plea he tagged George Papadopolous with for misstating a date.  The naming of this Greek heritage man sent everyone in Washington scurrying to their computers to find out who he was.  No one knew him.  But as with Manafort, this man did have a tenuous relationship with the Trump campaign—although a very minor one indeed.  After diligent research we all learned that the young Papandopoulous sporting a very thin resume served briefly as an unpaid volunteer member of an obscure Trump election committee..  Papandopoulous first worked for the (off the charts) Ben Carson campaign, again as an unpaid volunteer. When Carson’s campaign folded, he continued to seek involvement with the then successful Trump campaign. We know now that he attended one foreign policy meeting for that campaign—perhaps to toss a bone to the significant and well heeled Greek supporters of Mr Trump (Mr. Rience Priebus who served as Chair of Republican National Committee and later as Chief of Staff for the President  is also of Greek heritage)

It has been reported that at his one and only meeting— the all too eager—29 year-old  Mr. Papandopoulous—proposed making contact with an unknown Russian informant— but this  proposal was quickly shot down by the others at the meeting.  Mr. Papandopoulous  was not asked to attend again, and his connection with the Trump campaign effectively ended.  When he was questioned by the FBI about the dates he made contact with this purported Russian contact he either lied or misstated the dates. His naïveté in these mattes were apparent—the FBI already had the dates.  His sharp questioning (a form of entrapment) led to his misstatement or lie and that —the lie—is a federal offense...to which he pleaded guilty.  There is no state or federal legislation limiting or controlling contacts with foreign activists or lobbyists.  His guilty plea was the result of misstating the dates of these contacts nothing more...though the Main Stream Media ate this up as a guilty plea.  .


So we can conclude that there is no evidence of “collusion” or wrong doing in the Trump campaign after more that 18 months of intense scrutiny, by the most powerful, intrusive intelligence agencies of this nation. The Obama Administration, the DNC, the Clinton machine, a British MI6 former spy, the politicized FBI under first Mr. Comey and now Mr. Mueller were all eagerly searching for all this time and have found nothing.  The FBI turned over every possible rock here in the USA, and abroad, yet not one shred of  evidence has come to light that indicates President Trump or any on his Committee “colluded ” with Russians to subvert the election. All that has come to light is that Mr. Manafort—long before he was associated with the Trump campaign and long before Mr. Trump entertained the idea of running for president may have some legal problems associated with his foreign lobbying endeavors.  And that a young and over eager election committee volunteer contacted a Russian who claimed to have a trove of Clinton emails. No illegality there.  But this inexperienced young man lied about the dates of his attempted contacts.  Mueller has nothing on the President.


BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS ?
On the other hand, we do know that the Clintons had numerous dealings with the Russians—while Hillary was Secretary of State!.  The sale of a Canadian uranium company (Uranium One) to Russian investors during the Obama Administration is a prime example.  Russian entrepreneurs plied the Clinton Cash Slush Fund (aka Clinton Global Initiative) with $140 million dollars in cash  a year before the sale-decision was made.  Then, after Mrs. Clinton as Secretary of State, voted in favor of the deal Russian investors paid off Bill.  He got a hefty $500,000 for a short speech to a Russian bank which was one of the investors.  This is the typical “pay for play” scenario—the Clintons have used since their days in Arkansas when Hillary was paid off with a cattle futures deal...after Governor Bill cleared the way in the State legislature for the cattle investors.  These Clinton misdeeds and deals are  so common and so obvious, but are studiously ignored by the left.  After all,  at the time, the Clintons were scheduled by all the pollsters and prognosticators of elections to soon be “Mr First Lad” and “Madam President”—or so they and their supporters thought.  As a result of their likely ascendency they got away with “collusion with the Russians”.



CLINTONS PAID RUSSIANS FOR DIRT ON TRUMP
It’s hard to believe but there is more.
During the Campaign of 2016, a major supporter of Marco Rubio, billionaire Paul Singer funded anti-Trump research through a Washington firm known as Fusion GPS .  When Trump clinched the nomination, Singer closed down the operation.  But by that time some other Trump enemies may have become aware of the effort or perhaps Fusion GPS realized at that time they could market the partially completed dossier to the Clinton camp.  The DNC and the Clinton campaign were willing and eager—and flush with Clinton Russian pay-off money.  Fusion was eager to keep them interested and with ten million dollars available from the DNC to spend on salacious gossip of a political enemy—they didn’t  care about the produce being fact or fiction.  The gossip authors (if you want to call them that) were eager to supply this new client (the Clintons) with whatever they wanted and crafted a juicy document that would serve the purpose of the Clinton campaign...not the truth.

The huge sums of available money created a situation which favored  the collusion of a former British spy, paid Russian informants and co-conspirators in the USA.  The result was the “Steele Dossier” a salacious, fact free document of alleged Trump activities in Russia.  This was picked up by Trump enemy Senator John McCain.  McCain reportedly sent one of his assistants to Britain to access the document.  McCain then passed it on, as if it was fact, to the FBI.  Inside the FBI, our premiere domestic intelligence officers under the leadership of Mr. Mueller must have realized it was a fake (though they do make many mistakes) yet, for what can only be political motivation they used the document anyway


FAKE DOSSIER BECOMES BASIS FOR FBI DOMESTIC SPYING
However, we now know that the FBI used that “Steele Dossier” document as a basis of their (illegal) “investigations” into the Trump transition team and organization after the election and before the inauguration.  The phony Dossier gave impetus to several illegal investigations which caused much consternation and fake news before the inauguration.  The illegal “outing” of General Flynn, Trump’s National Security advisor was certainly the result of the circulation of the Dossier among the lame duck Obama Administration.  The involvement of former FBI director Mueller (now Special Counsel) with this fiasco should rightly result in his disqualification as an unbiased investigator.



DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGN RIGGED FROM START
No! don’t go away.  There is more!
Now most recently (November 2, 2017) the most recent revelations from the Democrats indicate how corruption within the DNC led to something the President often claimed—that the Democrat nomination was rigged.  He was blamed for lying about that too.

DONNA BRAZILE BOMBSHELL REVELATIONS THROWS CLINTONS UNDER BUS
In excerpts from her new book “Hacks”  Donna Brazile the former interim DNC chairwoman has revealed that the Clintons had financial and management control of the  Democratic National Committee (DNC) well before Hillary publically announced her candidacy.   Brazile the and TV commentator and “journalist”  who prior to this) was most infamous as the partisan journalist responsible for sneaking presidential debate questions to the Democrat candidate prior to the Trump-Clinton debate has turned on the Clintons.  In her new book Brazile now reveals that the Democrat campaign.  As the President oft4n stated the nomination was rigged from the start to favor Clinton.   According to Brazile the Clinton campaign organization had a signed and sealed legal arrangement with the DNC as early as 2015. That document gave financial and organizational control of the DNC over to the Clinton campaign.  So in effect, prior to any candidate seeking the nomination, any debate, or a single vote being cast—the Clintons controlled how DNC money was spent, what staff was hired, and who was going to be the Democrat nominee.  It was always to be Hilary.

Loyal Democrat voters had no actual say in who their standard barer would be in the nomination voting.  The whole “so called democratic Democrat nomination” process was a sham.  Joe Biden?  He hemmed and hawed about putting his hat in the ring, but it is clear now—he never had a chance.  Senator Sanders was a straw man independent candidate who knew of the deal and who  understood from the very beginning that he was never going to be the Democrat candidate—no matter how many states he won.  His candidacy was a personal odyssey for political power and influence.  It explains his overly gentlemanly campaign in which he never actually attacking Clinton—on her all too apparent weaknesses.   His famous. “I don’t give a damn about your emails” comment at the touted Sanders-Clinton debate was the give away line which revealed his real position.  He too was part of the political charade perpetrated on the public and on the nation’s voters.

In the end the Democrats fielded one of the most hated, disliked, weak candidates ever foisted on the public in their name.  Their perfidious behavior led to the election of Mr. Trump.

With all these revelations, it is time to end the phony, wasteful “investigations”. We know enough already!  Let’s save the taxpayer’s money and get on with tending to the nation’s real concerns.


END OF BUSH AND CLINTON POWER—
With the Donna Brazile revelations the power of the ugly, self serving,  corrupt Clintons is over.  We are well rid of them.  History will record their efforts in the White House and in foreign policy as negative on all counts.

In recent days we have learned that the Bush family former presidents did not vote for the Republican candidate and were reported to be bad mouthing President Trump.  The end has finally and justly come for them too.  Their statements reveal that their family power remains more important to them than the well being of the nation. These two men were failures. Bush 41, a one term failed presidency which led to the disaster of the Clinton ascendency.

 Bush 43 a weak minded novice who handed over his presidency to the evil Dick Cheney who then managed to advance the worst foreign policy decisions ever made in Washington. The Iraq war remains a fifteen year three trillion dollar financial, political and  foreign policy blunder that continues to hang around our necks like the proverbial millstone.  Bush 43 should never show his face or make a pubic statement again after his disaster terms in the Oval Office. He has some real chutzpah! But then again he probably doesn’t even realize it.

The Bush and Clinton “dynasties” are now dead.  Let’s shovel some dirt over them and relegate them tp the dumpsites where they belong.  We are well rid of them.
