It’s Open Season on Non-Career Politicians in Washington, D.C.!

I will make no bones about it….I supported and voted for Donald Trump.  Why?  Well, after living through the terms of more Presidents than I care to count, I decided that maybe career politicians did not make the best Presidents.  (Okay.  I confess.  Trump makes number 13 during my lifetime!)

In the good old days, many of our Presidents were elected because of having military experience.  During my lifetime, that would have been Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush.  Ten of the thirteen Presidents during my lifetime had some form of military experience.  The three that have not served in the military are: Clinton, Obama and Trump.

So, for the last three that did not have military experience, which were the professional career politicians?  That would be Clinton and Obama.  That leaves just one person left and he was a career businessman as opposed to a career politician, Donald Trump.  And Washington, D.C., the political muck-hole and swamp of the political world cannot tolerate a non-career politician in the Oval Office.  Thus he, and anyone associated with him, have become targets in a political assassination game that the majority of this country finds detestable.

So what were the significant contributions and accomplishments of William Jefferson Clinton, the first non-military experienced president during my lifetime?  He was the Attorney General for the State of Arkansas, before becoming the Governor of Arkansas.  He then became the third youngest POTUS in 1993 and was POTUS until 2001.  In today’s political arena, he would have been considered a moderate. With some of his legislation, by today’s Democratic socialist yardstick, he may have even been considered slightly moderate to conservative!  But Bill also had the distinction of being only the second POTUS to ever be impeached.  (The first POTUS to be impeached was Andrew Johnson.)  Yup.  Bill had an affair with a White House intern and lied about it before congressional committees.  He lied about the affair before the 1996 election, which he won, and was impeached in 1998 after scathing evidence was presented concerning the affair.  Because the Republicans did not want to give Al Gore, the Vice President, presidential exposure and experience before the next election, Bill was allowed to finish out his term.  Bill was a lawyer.  As scandalous as his affair was, it pales in comparison as to what he and his wife have done since his presidency.

Barack Obama had a different career path.  Initially, he was a community organizer.  I am not sure for what organization, but that is what he did.  He served 7 years in the Illinois senate.  He then won election as a U.S. Senator.  Within 150 days after becoming a U.S. Senator, Obama began his campaign to become POTUS.  Amazingly, he won the Democratic nomination for POTUS, defeating the well-entrenched, well-funded Hillary Clinton.  He served as POTUS from 2009 to 2017. He was also a lawyer.  (And, from the day he was inaugurated until the day he left the presidency, his net worth increased 30 times!  Wow! )

Now along comes the billionaire and successful businessman, Donald Trump.  The one big advantage for Trump was that because he was not a career politician, he did not owe his political success to any particular lobby group or voting bloc.  Thus, unlike Clinton and Obama, he could not be controlled by campaign contributors or lobbyists.  He spent half of what Hillary Clinton spent on her campaign.  Hillary was the first politician in the United States to spend over a BILLION dollars on a campaign. The Washington smut machine does not like independent players on its field.  They are considered uncontrollable, and….they can be dangerous because you just never know what they can do.  When I was a teenager, I asked my dad why he voted for John F. Kennedy.  My dad’s reply?  I voted for JFK because “its tough to bribe a millionaire.”  Big Daddy G was ahead of his time without knowing it.  Now Trump is in the same position, except he is a billionaire.

Then, Trump had the audacity to place the best and brightest in his cabinet positions and his advisory positions.  As he was making these selections, I said to Grandma P, “This country could not afford to hire the people that Trump is appointing.”  They were the best and the brightest people that could be gotten.  They were paragons of industry, high level military leaders; and the best at everything.  He made these appointments without having to settle political debts, with one exception.  He even appointed Ben Carson, a former political opponent, to be Director of Housing and Urban Development.  How many people would do that?

But the media and the denizens of the deepest part of the ‘swamp’ reared their ugly heads and wasted no time in doing it.  The new word of the day became the ‘I’ word….impeachment.  And they began using this word before he was inaugurated!   But wait…for impeachment to take place, one would have to commit some impeachable offense.  So, in the truest tradition of fake it or make it up news,  we ended up with the Mueller investigation.  It is difficult to remember that this investigation began to determine the Russian influence and tampering in our last election.  It now has become an extended ‘witch hunt’ into Donald Trump and anyone associated with, or close to Donald Trump.

I am not sure what Paul Manafort is guilty of, but I am sure it was not something that required a 4:00AM arrest at his home, and incarceration without bail.  His arrest, when he answered the door in his underwear, was well recorded and publicized.  How convenient.  Manafort was the former campaign chairman for the Trump campaign.  In the good old days, those being any days before the Obama presidency, Manafort would have been subject to an IRS audit, not a publicized arrest by the FBI.

Some of Trump’s former friends and associates have come under scrutiny because of the Mueller investigation and are pleading guilty and plea bargaining to circumstances that are not really criminal.  Why would they do that?  Well…it is really quite simple.  Once the Justice Department, the IRS or the FBI wants to get into your knickers, they can do it with a battalion of attorneys that are all on the government payroll and at tax payer expense.  The accused, on the other hand, has to pay for a defense out of their own pockets.  With the Mueller investigation now rapidly approaching two years of existence, it is evident to any accused to what lengths our misguided legal system will go to harass.  A lengthy court battle would put most people into financial ruination.  Or, you could get a get out of jail card if you turn on Trump?  You would have to be some kind of person not to take a plea deal and turn on Trump with the alternative being financial ruination.  Our misguided legal/judicial system is using this sentiment to their advantage.  Rather than handling the accused persons with ‘kid gloves,’ they come at them with a sledge hammer.

But now as the skins of the onion are being peeled away, we are learning that this ‘witch hunt’ has been coordinated between three departments within the US Government; Justice, FBI and the CIA.  All of this dependent on a fictitious Fusion GPS dossier that was funded by the Clinton campaign.  If I am reading the tea leaves correctly, John Brennan, former head of the CIA, submitted the Fusion GPS report to the FBI while knowing it was all baloney.  The well entrenched FBI Obamaites/Clintonites could not pass up the opportunity to take this to the mat and received all kinds of judicial support, all the while knowing it was baloney, also.  Remember in an earlier paragraph where I said Trump appointed people without political debt except for one?  That one person would be Jeff Sessions, the current Attorney General .  Sessions was an early Trump supporter, and was rewarded with the appointment.  When the issue of the Mueller investigation gained steam, Sessions recused himself.  Big mistake for him and for Trump.  The now steam-rolling Mueller investigation has proceeded unencumbered because the Attorney General has taken a ‘hands off’ approach to the whole affair and the investigation is in the hands of entrenched ‘Anti-Trumpers.”

The arrogance of some of the key people concerning this investigation is breath taking.  John Brennan, the head CIA ‘spook’, has not found a TV camera he doesn’t like in his jihad to belittle Donald Trump and his presidency.  (Aren’t ‘spooks’ suppose to keep their mouths shut?)  Peter Strzok, the most arrogant piece of beetle dung that is collecting a government paycheck, said in a congressional hearing that, he “knew what was best for Americans.”  This was suppose to justify his nefarious actions and his office affair?  Peter, I know what is best for America today…not having our governmental agencies politically weaponized to influence this nation, favor a political party, or chastise and harass a candidate/elected official.  Brennan was CIA, Strzok was FBI, and Bruce Ohr was at the DOJ.  It was Ohr’s wife that worked at Fusion GPS and submitted the fictitious report that worked its way through all three agencies.  

Why are some of the leaders of these three organizations (and the all-to-willing media) attacking Trump and his associates with such ‘heavy  handedness?’  In football parlance, ‘the best defense is a good offense’ and there is not anyone more offensive than the above mentioned individuals.  They are up to their crooked necks in a highly illegal and treasonous  cabal at the highest levels of our government.

If I had a genie in a lamp and could rub it three times for three wishes (did I mention my genie would look like Sandra Bullock?) I would wish for the following.   Wish one:  Jeff Sessions is replaced by Trey Gowdy as Attorney General. Wish two:  Brennan, Strzok and Ohr all lose their jobs, lose their retirements and have their security clearances stripped.  Wish three:  The legal process will finally investigate that the Clinton money machine and Barack Obama are behind all the ‘Anti-Trump’ machinations taking place in ‘Swampington, D.C.’  One can only hope for justice…finally.  Obama may have only been a community organizer, but he certainly is excellent at organizing resistance.

Who is watching the top policemen (FBI), when its top hierarchy is loaded with crooked cops?

Hopefully, God and the midterm election will save this great nation.

How Deep Is That Swamp?

Stop the presses!  Man the ramparts!  Fill the moats!  Double up the manpower on the ‘Clinton Suicide Prevention’ hotline!

Frankly, I am concerned about the psychological condition of the the Hillary Clinton supporters that have now found out that the Russians did not assist Donald Trump on the way to the presidency.  Could Hillary actually have lost the election for other reasons?  I am concerned about the psychological mental imbalance that the 50 million liberal wonks, who are now clutching their teddy bears for comfort,  must now be suffering because of her defeat.  And…..there is even talk that Hillary may indeed have been the person colluding with the Russians!  Could this get any worse?  How could this possibly be?  But never fear.  I, Grandpa T, am going to attempt to talk you down from your precipice of despair.

Let us take a trip down memory lane.  In 1992, the United States elected a POTUS named William Jefferson Clinton.  He was charming.  He received an overwhelming amount of female votes because of his appeal over his competitors.  (George H.W. Bush in 1992,  Bob Dole in 1996)  And, as later proved, he had the morality of a snake.  Yes, Bill decided to take up with a White House intern, and their affair became public.  But , Bill, being the power seeking cur that he was, lied about the affair just prior to the upcoming reelection campaign of 1996.  “I did not have relations with that  woman.”  And, you liberal wonks, decided that your man just could not be lying like a cheap rug, and decided that because ‘boys will be boys’, you reelected him.  Later, Bill was charged with being a sexual predator.  More importantly, he was required to pay, as a result of a court case, damages to one or more of his victims.  But during all of this, while he should have been impeached, his loving wife, Hillary, stood by her man.  And, because a better script could not have been written by the National Enquirer or by Hollywood, she was regarded as the ever dutiful wife.  As her reward for supporting Bill (and to maintain power), Hillary ran, and won a senate seat in a state she never lived in, New York.  Hillary lamented the fact that on the day that they left the White House, they were broke.  Small wonder, because that’s what sexual predator settlements do to your net worth.

I must interject at this point, that in my entire business career, if someone has deplorable morals regarding their personal lives, they very often have these same morals with their business life.  I digress.

Because of book deals and exorbitant speech fees, the Clintons’ made a quick financial recovery.  In 1997, they founded the Clinton Foundation.  This foundation is headquartered in New York City, but any donations funded to the organization go through Canada.  The reason is because Canada has laws protecting the identity of anyone contributing to the foundation, both foreign and domestic.  After being sanitized, the funds are then forwarded to New York.

So, during the same election that George W. Bush was elected in the fall of 2000, Hillary was elected to her first term as a U.S. Senator from New York.  She was reelected in 2006.

Now the presidential election of the fall of 2008 rolls around, and Hillary believes that she is finally going to get her shot at becoming POTUS.  But…no…this upstart named Barrack Obama, a relative unknown politician receives the Democratic nomination.  Why?  Because every political poll at that time showed that she would lose the election, regardless of the Republican challenger.  So the DNC made a bold and desperate move and nominated Obama.  After his win, Obama appointed Hillary as the Secretary of State.  As it turned out, a very nice consolation prize for supporting him during the election campaign.  The Clinton’s kept their fingers in the political power pie!

I have to backtrack and say that for the purposes of intrigue, the next part of this article should be held to last.  It would provide for a dramatic ending.   But for the purposes of accurate chronological portrayal, it needs to be discussed next.

During Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State, somehow the Obama administration decided it would be a wise decision to sell Russia 20% of our enriched uranium reserves.  This occurred in 2010.  Perhaps you have heard about it recently as it is dominating the news?  Now I will admit that in 2010, I wondered, as a concerned citizen, why we would sell enriched uranium to a questionable Russian entity.  Why would Congress allow such a transaction to take place?   Well, part of my wonderment has recently been fulfilled when it was reported that this transaction took place because they bypassed Congress.  A decision of that magnitude, with worldwide implication made without Congressional approval!

So why, dear readers and liberal wonks, was this transaction allowed to take place?  And…more importantly, what did Russia do with that enriched uranium.  Let me assist both the liberal and conservative readers by attempting to talk you off the precipice of despair.  The ‘why’ portion of this ordeal is easy.  It was done for MONEY!  Lots and lots of money!  Some in the form of kickbacks, and some in the form of $140 million contributions from Russia to the Clinton Foundation.  In the meantime,  Bill was receiving exorbitant fees for 20 minute speeches in Russia.  Let me interject that the scab is just now being torn off this wound.  The number of people involved, the members of the past administration involved, and the amount of monies being involved will blow your mind once this has been investigated.  We are talking billions!  And the Clinton’s are in this up to there necks as Hillary was deeply involved in this transaction occurring.

One question not being asked is, ‘what did Russia do with the enriched uranium?‘  Now the official response from this whole can of worms is that they would sell the enriched uranium back to the United States.  Does that make sense?  Why would our country buy back what we already own.  Here is my fear, and for once I hope I am wrong.  What if Russia sold this enriched uranium to Iran?  What if Russia sold it to North Korea.  There are billions of dollars at stake here, and our country delivered $1 billion to Iran, in cash, during the Obama administration.  Would this not be treason of the highest magnitude?  Could Iran or North Korea use our own uranium to attack us or our allies?  If so, there should be people in prison.

Now we get to the 2016 elections.  Hillary’s time has come.  She and the DNC decided to undermine Bernie Sander’s election campaign.  But, what the hell, Hillary deserves to win regardless of the cost.  But the upstart Trump needs a political haircut.  Enter…..Fusion GPS.  Ah yes.  Fusion GPS is a company founded in 2011 in, of all places, Swamp Central, also know as Washington, D.C.  Their primary business is opposition research.  They will research a political opponent for a fee.  One of their first targets?  Mitt Romney.  If they do not find any dirt worthy of a good smear campaign, they will make dirt up.  Then they will hire some down and out reporter or author to submit the recently fertilized dirt to a media source.  There are no shortage of media sources that will publish fiction as fact, especially if it is against a Conservative or against the POTUS.   Of course, the article will be submitted stating that it was thoroughly researched and investigated.

So now, we find out that the Trump dossier, that damning piece of evidence that has triggered all kinds of investigations into Trump’s alleged ties with the Russians, is more fictitious than ‘Alice in Wonderland.’  And who paid the $9 million to Fusion GPS for this great work of fiction?  These guys received their payments from the DNC and the Clinton Campaign Committee.

This little dust-up, much like the enriched uranium scandal, are just beginning to surface.  All kinds of election laws were broken because of this.  And now, we have Robert Mueller and his hired team of 17 attorneys, investigating alleged ties between Trump and Russia, based on a fictitious piece of literature generated by Fusion GPS.  Did I mention that Robert Mueller was Director of the FBI during the Russian uranium purchase?  This investigation is going to cost the taxpayers millions, and who should pay for that?  I think the Clinton’s should pay for the whole damn thing.

Another very disturbing fact that has surfaced during this Fusion GPS affair, is that the CIA  and FBI took this garbage as fact, and consequently were granted wire-tap privileges of Trump because of it.  How frickin’ incompetent are these organizations?  If our two primary intelligence agencies can’t separate fact from fiction, our country is in a world of hurt.

So for my liberal wonks that need to come to a logical, analytical stage of emotional fulfillment as to why Hillary lost the election, grab your teddy bear tighter and let me offer the following:

  1.  Bill and Hillary have always been about money,
  2.  Bill and Hillary have always been about power, because power equates to money.
  3.  Bill and Hillary do not care one bit about average American Joe.  They hob nob with celebrities with money, not the working people in Wisconsin.
  4. Hillary spent over $1 billion on her election campaign.  Where did that money come from?
  5. Lying and declaring ignorance are not uncommon to Bill and Hillary. (Or the DNC.)
  6. Neither have been forthcoming about their personal lives.  Don’t expect anything better in their political lives.
  7. Hillary is not  a likable person.
  8. When in doubt as to the Clinton motivation, refer to 1 and 2.

So in the spirit of easing your troubled minds about Hillary’s loss in the last election, here is my soothing, conciliatory advice for you and your teddy bear, “Sorry.  But your candidate sucked!”

It is obvious from the recent events that draining the swamp is going to take bigger equipment and more equipment.  Many people believe that Donald Trump is brash and unreasonable.  I am beginning to think he has the patience of Job.  If I were him, I would immediately terminate any of the Obama strap hangers that have proven to be incompetent, non-trustworthy, or colluding to halt any progress for his administration or are attempting to cover-up the numerous transgressions of the past administration.  Make America Great Again!
