TRUMP'S HOME RUN REPORT Week of 2018/02/19
It was quite a night on January 30 when the entire Congress membership,
except for a few 'cry-baby' members who chose to 'boycott' the annual, and first for
PRESDT, "State Of The Union" of his presidential term. It is really too bad, and a
blot on the state of our politics and society how certain of the members of the
Democrat Caucus actually chose to not show up to be counted as participating in one
of the classical government events of the year. My only statement to them would be:
"Get over it, we won, you lost so be an adult" after all, when they won seven years
ago, I don't recall any of the Republican Caucus missing, unless someone was ill, or
on ligitiment and necessary government business.
Unlike the previous four such events the speaker did not choose to 'rub it in' on
the losers nor did he use the pronoun "I" over and over ad nauseam. Everything I
heard him enumerate of the accomplishments for the better of the past year was
couched in 'we' or 'us', thus giving some recognition to his opposition, even though
that whole group, and a few of his own, with an 'R' on their vote registration record
have exerted every thing, legal and not so, effort to thwart his every move to change
the course of the Nation and improve things for even the most poor of those working,
and many who are not.
Surprisingly to me was the camera operators of the channel watched by me
seemed to focus on the Democrat side of the isle whenever PRESDT brought the other
side to their feet with applause. With one sole exception, a man sitting mostly in the
center of the screen was lightly applauding, but still not standing. The picture was too
small to get a good look at him, but at least he recognized the importance of what was
being said while following what I believe were instructions from minority leaders to
keep seated. My memory has no instance where Republicans in the minority acted
so childishly.
It appeared to me that this was going to be something special when the first
words were: "The state of the Nation is Strong", which exuded optimism for the
future. Hopefully PRESDT will truly be able to keep his promise to "drain the swamp"
and weed out the long time embedded employees who will do everything in their
imagination to thwart his agenda. That includes attempting to bring about impeachment
so that they can continue the long decline of our form of government into Socialism
while increasing their authority and rule over we poor citizens who pay and suffer.
Yes, those of us proudly called 'despicable' by FFLHRC (former First Lady Hillary
Rodham Clinton).
Proceeding onward PRESDT recounted one by one accomplishments of his first
year in office, again mostly using the pronouns we and us rather than I and me used by
predecessors. That is a true statement, since the President alone, no matter who, has
not the power to change things for the better, since the people, including those in the
Government, must want the same goals and be willing to work towards achieving them.
In my memory the last President to exude such a feeling of confidence and optimism
was PRESRR-40 who seemed to laugh at his enemies for a refreshing change of pace.
Quite frankly, I am tired of the politically correct political figures who cannot
speak truthfully and who seem to think that the only way to correct anything perceived
wrong is to simply throw more money at it and hope it will go away. Meanwhile they
sit back and collect their inflated pay and 'enjoy the ride', that is until enough of us
wake up to give them the retirement so badly called for.
It remains my firm opinion that things will become much better for US, and the
World, if those dedicated to slowing, stalling, of defeating his agenda can be convinced
of their misdirection so to change their current agenda, or be removed from their
positions of being able to thwart his efforts, on our behalf. That also includes the
imbedded tendency to resort to complete lies in attempts to get their way.
To gain that will take a massive change in the elections in those areas so
completely and continually sending socialists and 'tax and tax, spend and spend'
liberals into offices in not only Washington but state capitals. To gain that will take
efforts from we living in the more common sense areas attempting, in a friendly way,
to persuade those voters that their welfare would be much improved with the required
changes. That will take a massive change in attitude away from the current welfare
orientation of government owes me a living.
