The secret is out. No longer is it a mere lunatic theory of the ‘Vast Right Wing Conspirators,”
there does exist a “Deep State” within the body politic of the Federal Government.
The Democrat party, in their zeal to reverse the 2016 election of Donald Trump over their
champion the corrupt Hillary Clinton, have proven it. The screwballs of the Radical Left, over the
better advice of their leader, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, convinced her to pursue the removal of the
illegitimate president Donald Trump using the only strings of power in their control, the House
majority, to accuse the President of crimes their own party members have committed.

The pursuit by the radical Leftist to undo the 2016 election hinged upon a sad, expensive, two
year investigation of the Presidents supposed nefarious activities vis a vis the Russians, by an
appointed special prosecutor of unimpeachable integrity, Robert Mueller. For the Democrats,
sadly, that investigation produced no evidence whatsoever, ruining instead Mr. Mueller’s
undeserved reputation after his pitiful showing at the Democrat House Judiciary Committee
hearing chaired by the radical dufus, Rep. Jerry Nadler.

Nadler's fumbling of his charge to unseat Trump was then passed to the House Intelligence
Committee chaired by the equally demented Adam Schiff. Schiff’s own hand picked witnesses
schiffted on him when their testimony unequivocally confirmed a Deep State does indeed, exist.
First was Lt. Col. Vindman who testified: he was concerned over “influencers promoting a false
narrative of Ukraine inconsistent with the consensus views of the interagency.” One wonders, is
‘Interagency Consensus’ a definition of Deep State? You bet it does!

Vindman earned high praise from the leftist media with his hearsay evidence that President
Trump had committed serious offenses with his phone call to the new President of the Ukraine.
It was Vindman’s opinion that president Trump was “shifting U.S. policy away from providing
offensive weapons to the Ukrainian government!” Vindman iced the cake with this comment:
“While my interagency colleagues and I were becoming increasingly optimistic on Ukraine’s
prospects, this (The President’s) alternative narrative undermined U.S. government efforts to
expand cooperation with Ukraine.” How dare he (Trump) try to interfere with our foreign policy
mission. Wow, a mere Lt. Col. takes umbrage with the policy decisions of the elected president
of the United States? I can tell ou right now, that a Lt. Col would never, without the assured
backing of his State Dept. superiors, ever contemplate such a treasonous act against his
Commander-in-Chief. Never!

Secondly, Schiff Witness and Vindman’s boss Fiona Hill of the National Security Council Staff,
threw in the 2017 “Intelligence Community Assessment” a product of former CIA director John
Brennan, asserting that Russia’s President Putin and his FSB sought to affect U.S. foreign
policy in Europe, including in Ukraine. Mueller couldn’t prove it. So, the deep state feels the
heat!

Who decides U.S. foreign policy anyway? Apparently not president Trump according to Fiona
Hill. In fact, she told Congress that, “If the president, or anyone else, impedes or subverts the
national security of the United States in order to further domestic political or personal interests,
that is more than worthy of your attention.” Hill asserted also, “that the president has no right to
change U.S. foreign policy.” Wow, Yes Virginia, there is a deep state! Her boss, John Bolton was
a crypto deep stater too and that’s why he’s gone. It’s called Trump draining the swamp.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution its the way. Now, go get ‘em!

Opinion by George McClellan:

Not ignoring the continued Islamic attacks against western culture, other items of importance reveal themselves that should be addressed. I’m referring to the continued scheme by pushy Ohio Governor John Kasich, indefatigable champion of global warming, to position himself as the primary challenger to Donald Trump in 2020 and place the elite driven, corrupt American government he so loves (the swamp), into his capable hands. John knows the way! Hummn?

He made the usual perfunctory comment by a nobody, about the most recent Islamic London Bridge attack: “We stand in solidarity with our great ally and send our prayers across the Atlantic, Now more than ever we must strongly keep the trust of our allies.”  The “strongly keep the trust of our allies,” bit was Kasich’s dig at President Trump’s abandoning the silly Paris Peace accord. Specifically, The Ohio Governor said:

”Rather than withdrawing the United States from the climate agreement and relinquishing our historic role of world leadership (Obama already did that,Trump reclaimed it), the Trump Administration should have worked to improve the treaty from within (how?). Continuing, he added: “Let’s be clear. I wasn’t happy with the original agreement, (a sop to conservatives) especially in light of the Obama administration’s failure to work with Republicans in Congress on terms acceptable to both parties.” “But, I know that climate change is real.” (It’s called weather John, and fuzzy thinking like that should kill your campaign right there) “It is a global issue and will need a global agreement to address.” (it’s only an issue to believers in global wealth redistribution). “And we could have (re)negotiated that agreement in ways that would not needlessly destroy jobs” (Clearly, Kasich has bought into the fake news of American job loss when just the opposite is true). “The Trump Administration could have shown leadership by working to improve the agreement”:  (It did! He took us right out of it).

“The largest emitters of greenhouse gases (China & India) could have been asked to commit to concrete, obligatory reductions in emissions”; (they were, and they declined)

“The agreement could have targeted the root cause of global warming greenhouse gas emissions, (from what source, the sun or those hundreds of pesky volcanoes?), instead of an indirect measure such as aggregate global temperature; and….

More thorough analysis of the costs and the benefits could have provided greater assurance that jobs were not unnecessarily being put at risk. (It has been done John, by Conservatives not agenda driven radical marxist numbers crunchers) “A properly negotiated agreement could actually have ended up driving innovation and creating jobs.” (Dealing with EU leftists leaders will never happen. Besides, innovation and creativity are not government jobs).

“By withdrawing from the agreement, the Administration has passed up an opportunity both to expand U.S leadership in clean energy technology and to create well-paid American jobs with a future.” (Green energy policy is not a government function as Obama’s pet project failures proved. If people want it they’ll buy it. If it cannot compete in the market place, without government interference, then it’s not wanted. This is the very essence of Americanism).

America cannot afford a return to Kasich’s idea of Americanism. American’s are not for a One World Government either. We can’t afford it and we don’t need it. It’s unamerican after all.

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Why is tolerance never asked of Islamic supremacists who take to the streets of western nations  and proclaim the ultimate victory of Islam for Allah, declare “death to the Infidels,” and claim responsibility for any attack that occurs on western streets? Why are the only people ever accused of intolerance, islamophobia, racism and hate, those who try to warn us about the true nature and magnitude of the jihad threat? On whose authority is “hate” considered a crime?

On the London-Westminster attack by a confirmed Jihadist, four people have been confirmed dead including one Metropolitan police officer, as well as the attacker, shot dead by a Minister of Defense security officer. Twenty-nine innocent civilians were injured, mowed down as they trod the streets of London. This deadly attack was carried out with the simplest of tools, a rented automobile and a kitchen knife. Are these implements soon to be banned for public use?

Britain’s Home Secretary Amber Rudd, in a display of complete jingoistic cowardice, called the attack, one on “our shared values” and, defiantly said “they would never be destroyed.”  Just what, one wonders, does she mean by shared values? There are no shared values with Islam.

Her comments are a liberalistic denial of the truth, a repudiation of common sense that proves the lie of Liberal thinking that believes the West can easily absorb any and all manner of outlandish, violent, stupid, third world causes, laws, and religions without experiencing the unintended consequences of the destruction of western culture. Worse, Libs don’t accept that the West is in a war with Islam. Islam is in a war with the West, they asked for it, they praise it, they call for their followers to rise up and strike the Infidel wherever they can, all for Allah.

Rudd was in Lahore, Pakistan when the attack occurred. She said: We do not yet know the full impact of this terrible incident (Yes we do!), But I know that the whole country will be thinking and praying for those who are affected as I am. I want to thank the emergency services for the quick response and pay tribute to their bravery their courage and their professionalism.” The traditional sop to law enforcement and ambulance services. So, nothing will change!

The rest of her comments were public pablum, full of nonsense and half truths, “the Government’s top priority is the security of the people (is it?) and I urge everyone to remain calm but to be vigilant and if they see anything they are concerned about they should report it to the police. We have the best police, the best security services in the world and we must make sure that we let them get on with doing their job. The British people will be united in working together to defeat those who would harm our shared values. There’s that shared values nonsense again! Values of democracy, tolerance and the rule of law (Sharia Law?).Values symbolized by the Houses of Parliament. Values that will never be destroyed. Well, there’s that word ‘values’ yet again, as well as democracy, tolerance and rule of law nonsense.

These statements are designed to lull the British people to keep their anger at a low boil, unresponsive to the next Islamic carnage. The British government is not prepared for the possible rise up of the people. Jihadists are sneaking arms into Britain; should not the English, Welsh and Scots as well? How much more are the native peoples of Great Britain going to take before they realize the error of their politicians immigration policies and protect themselves?  How is toleration of the unacceptable the right way to protect society? Do we really believe any more that we can continue to feed the crocodile without being eaten ourselves? No!  Arm yourselves, take lessons and get prepared. They are coming to get you.

Opinion written by George McClellan:

We hear little about the investigation into the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich on the mean streets of Wash. DC following a Wikileaks expose´ that revealed systemic cheating by the DNC against Bernie Sanders and, other juicy revelations. Will the murders continue? Yes they have!

Of all the media sources I connect with, only the Maine Republic has so far reported another similar homicide, in Miami, Fl.. The body of a young federal prosecutor, Brandon J. Whisenant Jr., investigating voter fraud allegations connected to Democrats, was found floating in the surf on a Miami beach last Wednesday. Like Seth Rich, he was not the victim of a mugging or robbery and, like Seth Rich, Whisenant was shot in the head. Where the murder occurred is so far unknown, but a bullet hole in his head eliminates the possibility of an accident.

Can it possibly be that democrats are actually the evil organization they appear to be? Do they have their own ‘Cheka’ (KMVD) hit squad like the early Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia did?  Was the Clinton machine involved? Serious questions indeed. Because Whisenant was a US Attorney and worked out of the Miami AG’s major crimes unit, expect the FBI to go all in to solve this crime. Remember too, that the DoJ is under new management and murderous attacks against police, investigators and guards, especially Federal ones, will not be ignored or covered over by corrupt top level political leadership.

The overlooked issue here is voter fraud, a felony, often causally committed by enthusiastic supporters of one cause or another, but of late, mostly covered with Democrat fingerprints.

Donald Trump complained openly about suspected voter fraud and how it would affect the Nov. election. I believe he went to bed on Election night fully believing Hillary Clinton would win because of the fraudulent shenanigan’s Democrats were noted for. It was one reason Trump refused the media’s entreaties to pledge his support to the ‘winner.” Even the media thought the fix was in and badgered Trump for an agreement. He didn’t rise to the bait.

One of Trump’s first acts as President, not widely reported, was the establishment of a voter fraud commission to investigate voter fraud cases. This would be a function of the DoJ now under AG Jeff Sessions.They have now actually started investigating such claims and already one Asst. US Attorney involved in a Florida voter fraud inquiry was found awash on a Florida beach, a bullet hole in his head. Draining the Swamp has its price.

The focus of the investigations will be on the process of registration in federal elections, misuse of absentee ballots and will endeavor to discover what laws and policies adversely affect American voter confidence in the integrity of the election process. Also, to identify and charge those officials who work to undermine the voting process to ensure outcomes.

Recently, Nevada’s Secretary of State, discovered three cases of non-citizens voting in last year’s election and at least twenty-one non-citizens registered at the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. North Carolina State Board of Elections found at least forty-one non-citizens cast ballots in 2016, plus four hundred and forty-one, who were felons still in jail. Also, twenty-four voted more than once and two voted under names of deceased family members. Two women in Colorado are charged with casting absentee ballots in someone else’s name.

This inquiry is also revealing voter fraud in Kansas, Illinois, Wyoming and Texas. One wonders where and when will the next murder(s) occur? The Justice Department, under Jeff Sessions, will go all out in resolving these crimes. All fingers point to the Democrats.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the constitution is the way. Now, go get ’em! (01 Jun 17)

Opinion by George McClellan:

The dysfunctional Democrat Party, still in free fall from their election loss to Donald Trump and seeing a future that no longer includes them…. well, let’s face it, a future no longer controlled by them, will resort to anything to prevent that from happening.

Chuckie Schumer, Senate minority leader, doomed by events to never be the majority leader, always struggling in the shadow of Harry Reid, is doing all he can to disrupt the new Trump administrations choices for high government office. Actually, it’s all he’s got left because his mentor, Harry Reid, made it impossible for Democrats to use the filibuster because good ol’ Harry left them the “nuclear option.”

Presently, the question is who will be the new FBI Director. Schumer pledges to halt the selection unless and until the Asst. Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, appoints a Special Prosecutor to investigate the non-story of the Trump-Russian affair. I might add that he makes no such demand that the DOJ should pursue its investigation against the RICO infested Clinton’s and their scheming, money grubbing Foundation that sold American uranium to Russia. But that doesn’t matter. It’s only important to hound Trump to his ultimate destruction. Ain’t gonna happen baby, because there is no evidence of a crime, will never be evidence of such a crime and will be another waste of taxpayer money. Anyway, there is more than enough to put Hillary and her crony’s away for good.

Schumer and his coterie of slavish anti-Trump followers, have lost control of their cognitive thinking skills. They have ignored the old adage: “never interfere with your enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself,” not that I think Trump is killing himself. Trump is trolling Schumer and the good Senator rises to the bait, chasing shadows while Trump continues to dismantle Obama’s legacy. Schumer believes the polls that tell us Trump’s popularity is going down a rat hole. Well, nobody believes those pollsters anymore. He believed Hillary would be president too, and, by his actions is continuing to show people what the Democrat Party is really made of, the inmates from the asylum. Do we want these people leading us in the future? I don’t think so!

The Leftist media is becoming confusing, especially as they are the drivers of the anti-Trump campaign, independent of the Democrat Party. Dana Perino, Bush era White House spokesperson and now Fox news commentator said, “everyone thinks everyone else should resign.” That about sums it up. Currently the constant vocabulary that hourly flows through our ears if we stay tuned to the political news, and who can’t, is resign, resists, special prosecutor, authoritarian, investigation, collusion, Putin, Russia, Nazi’s, disrupt and delay.

The Democrats are certifiably dysfunctional. They cannot, nor will not accept that Trump was elected and Hillary wasn’t. Trump gets to appoint judges and justices, even conservatives ones, to the Federal bench. The Left can’t accept that. Trump is enforcing the immigration laws, not making new ones. They can’t stand that. He is pro-life and pro Second  Amendment. That’s awful! Trump is in good company as a jack ass, but so are all the rest of them and in the wake of the corruption left by the Clintons and Obama’s destruction of America, there is little Trump could do that could do any worse damage. His goal, and he’s pursuing it, is to make America Great Again while Schumer and company insist in keeping America in the swamp.

Do we really want these dysfunctional, screaming leftists in charge of our government again?

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Crimes of “sedition” are not common jurisprudence in America although it take place with daily regularity. They were tried once but flew in the face of the 1st Amendment and were abandoned almost as fast as they were enacted by colonial era outrage. Briefly, “Sedition” is conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of the state or monarch. America was founded by sedition against George III and should not be denied to future populations.

In today’s highly charged political atmosphere only the Democrats and their propaganda machine the Leftist media, outwardly conform to the pure definition of “sedition.” Their aim is to incite people to rebel against Donald Trump and the Republicans. In some undemocratic countries, Venezuela for example, they would already be in prison or executed.

James Comey, the former FBI Director, a clumsy bureaucrat who sought through rhetorical machinations to redefine the meanings of law (intent), and the meaning of responsibility by declining to focus on the real high crimes and misdemeanors apparent to nearly everyone simply to protect the Progressive candidate, caused his own firing. He was political.

Comey usurped the authority of the equally seditious Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, and succeeded only in damaging his personal reputation and destroying the confidence of the FBI Special Agents Corps. in his leadership. These actions caused undue turmoil for the boss and  it’s really not a good idea to irritate the boss, especially one who is attempting to deconstruct the long entrenched corruption that is the DC swamp in which Comey revealed himself as a denizen. Comey must have thought he was dealing with stupid people in President Trump and the White House staff. So, for this essay, sedition is out but, the crime of “misprision” is not.

There are three basic elements to misprision, i.e: concealing a crime, that apply. First, is   seditious conduct against the government or courts, already mentioned. Treason applies here but that requires positive evidence far beyond circumstantial, to even be considered, with first hand witnesses testimony, that sort of thing. Many of Obama’s senior staff could, by their conduct under cover of authority, be investigated for treason, including Obama himself, simply by his willful violation of the Constitution and the crimes against Americans they perpetrated.

To his credit, Comey did not flinch with Lynch after her hoped for secret meeting with Bill Clinton was exposed. For Lynch, her conduct was a misprision, being a collusion, with intent, to affect the election in favor of Hillary Clinton. These are felonies. In this case, it specifically focuses on Lynch’s neglect or wrongful performance of official duty.

The final element of misprision includes the concealment of treason or a felony by one who is not a participant.  Here, the field is wide open to criminal investigation requiring strong leadership in the highest levels of the criminal justice division of both the DoJ and FBI. Politics takes a hand here as well, with political party’s jockeying to avoid having their schemes exposed as either stupid or criminal, what ever applies, and keeping their people out of jail.

By congressional agreement, the Director of the FBI was granted a ten year term not to be interfered with by politics. It was necessary that the director not be political or make the FBI a political machine for either party, but to protect America and its Constitution. Comey failed here in all parts and that’s why he’s gone. When Trust is gone so is efficiency. Trump did what he promised to do, continue to drain the swamp. Comey could not be trusted. He’s gone! Simple!

Opinion written by George McClellan:

So, the Republican House has finally passed an excuse for a Repeal and Replace bill of the Unaffordable No care Act, aka: Obamacare. Don’t bet on it. Be suspicious, very suspicious. Trump is a populist and as such, he’s combatting not only the now childish Democrat party of useful idiots, apparatchiks dedicated to a socialist America but, more especially, he’s facing an entrenched “establishment’ party cunningly disguised as conservative Republican’s, equally dedicated to his destruction because he’s promised to root out political corruption in our body politic, i.e.: Drain the Swamp. Remember, the ADA was only a wealth transfer scheme.

It would seem the Democrats role in the “establishment” government has been seriously eroded in the last three election cycles and in their demise, unaccustomed as they are to losing, they want to take Republican’s, what’s left of ’em, with them.  Alas, If only that were the case. The Democrats (Marxists) will never die. They will poke up here and there like weeds in a garden that constantly need hoeing and a populist Americans will be forced to contend with them seemingly forever, until they should recover and take all. There will be no more “next times.”

America’s war with Socialism, starting with the collapse of the Soviet Union, will be a never ending contest of wills, between those who believe governments purpose is to provide all for its denizens, from cradle to grave, and those who don’t. Education is not required in their plan because government will do all the thinking. How’s that been going so far?

Others, schooled in Constitutional republicanism, where citizens are allowed to compete in a free market and rise or fall according to their abilities is anathema to socialists and a danger to their plan. Education is cherished in this environment because a thinking citizen is a free citizen and a free citizen is a producer, not a taker.

The Left uses the term “Nazi” as a club to shut down dissent, debate and free speech. It’s only a word but its connotation is fearful, or once was. Except for the odd neanderthal “skin heads” and outlaw motorcyclists who fancy themselves as bad characters, we don’t have a problem with Nazi’s any more because upon the conclusion of World War Two, the victors swarmed over Germany and conducted a brutal program of denazification.

High Nazi Party officials and military General Staff officers complicit in the crimes of the Third Reich, were imprisoned, tried and either executed or jailed according to court verdicts. In the field, lesser officials were likewise apprehended and tried, without the burdens of a public Nuremberg scenario, and shot or hanged according to the desire of the occupying force that captured them. Many others were disposed of in extra-judicial proceeding and others were hunted down and terminated in foreign countries where they hid but, Germany was denazified.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, without war or occupying forces, the poison of Marxism continued to roil about and spread in the educational systems of western countries until, by slow degrees, the children of the West, as Marx predicted, became the socialists and anarchists we face on our streets today. The fascist phenomena of a spreading Islam is just another piece of the radicalization of the west, a long term Soviet plan that never stopped functioning just because the Soviet Union collapsed. What happened to Gorbachev, the USSR’s last leader? He’s operating a Think Tank in San Francisco. Look at the dysfunction of our government today. Its the lingering result of Marxism still doing its dirty work. We must be constantly aware. Trumps victory did not stop the rot, but it is a good beginning. We must never, ever give up.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. No,w, go get ‘em! (05 May 17)

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Yesterday, I expounded upon the problem of leadership, or lack of it, demonstrated by United Airlines. By no means does United stand alone in its failings of leadership. Our ability as a nation to make righteous decisions, or bad ones, comes after decades of progressivism that has denied Americans the right to think for themselves and do what’s right, but do only what feels good and what the rule book allows.

The United Airlines incident reveals exactly the same degree of time warped decision making that allowed the government of Bill Clinton to drag a screaming, fearful little Cuban boy, Julian Gonzales, at gun point, out of the closet of a relatives happy home in Miami, Florida, to be forcibly returned to a despotic communist regime for a proper readjustment of his values. It’s what makes fools like Obama think that by opening doors to that failed communist state, America will be the better for it. It’s why “Rules of Engagement” for our military have been so restricted that the numbers of our killed and maimed soldiers has risen so highly. They can’t attack and kill the enemy lest the enemy should be offended. “War is hell!” but not for them.

What was the point in both United’s forcible removal, and Clinton’s Gonzales cases? It is the same level of leadership that operates in that liberal/progressive/fascist climate of management that ignores the rule of law, abandons the rule of common sense and forsakes the rules of good manners. For United, it could not have been for the bottom line, could it? Was it a power play? No, it was inviolable, pre-ordained policy. What was Bill Clinton’s reason? He blamed Janet Reno. He couldn’t make a righteous on the spot decision. Neither could United. It’s a mind set!

Progressive-Socialists always mean well regardless of the unintended consequences of their actions. As they only intend the best for their customer(s), employees or the general public, they should, naturally, be forgiven. Schedules have to be maintained, crews returned to their home bases, and rules obeyed, that sort of thing. It’s what Progressives do. It’s how they live, work and operate. It’s how they’ve screwed up America. It’s polite evil!

Another example, “Gun free zones!” Only a rabid do good’er could possibly think up such idiotic nonsense. Zero tolerance rules and “gun free zones,” have left the streets of our cities, the floors of our classrooms, and the crowded dance halls of night clubs littered with the dead and bleeding bodies of innocent people because Progressivism demands an environment of “zero tolerance.”  Where does most of America’s gun violence occurred? In Zero Tolerance gun free zones. The whole city of Chicago is a gun free zone and the death count there, by guns alone, is absolutely staggering. Their decision, ban guns not shooters.

For most Americans, the biggest offenders are the bureaucracies’ of the Federal Government, the IRS, EPA, USDA, BLM & etc. who use their own little made up rules as clubs against citizens simply trying to earn a decent living. For example, Obama’s health care rules demanded all citizens, except Congressmen, enroll in his wealth redistribution plan or pay a financial penalty. EPA steals a ranchers inalienable right to use his property because, the EPA say’s, such use could adversely affect a tiny fish a thousand miles down stream. We can all recite similar atrocities from our own experience, United Airlines simply revealed them.

America is under new leadership. Until Trump, there was no evidence of positive leadership at any level, corporate or government, only the rule book. People were afraid to make decisions. The inviolable rules of engagements, the pre-ordained mind-set, has neutered Americans. Screw up and blame the rule book. Beat up somebody and blame the victim. That’s how it is!

Opinion written by George McClellan:

How in the world does a huge corporation, like United Airlines, faced with eager competitors engaged in the sole business of public transportation, believe it somehow has the inalienable right to club some fellow over the head, who bought their product, and drag his bloody body, inchoate and screaming, out of the seat he just purchased and down the aisle with dozens of onlookers, with iPhones I might add, as witnesses, and think they are doing a good deed? It has nothing to do with leadership because their is no leadership, just a manager with a rule book!

Good intentions are the opiate of the Progressive/Socialist class empowered by a pre-developed mind-set that does not allow for individual reasoning, decision making or accepting responsibility for mistakes. All responsibility now lies in “books of rules,” tomes of ‘one size fits all’ command and control, relegating no authority to anyone to say “Stop it already, enough is enough!”

As far as United Airline’s problem is concerned, hundreds of cheaper and understandable  remedies have already been posited on the social media sites so I’ll not add my views here, but, I’d  rather focus on why leadership has failed. It’s an easy study; we have failed because we have over burdened ourselves with rules, thousands of rules, books of rules, and have given the power to enforce those rules to people who apparently have little or no understanding into the constitutional reasons why those thousands of rules are generally archaic, invalid, and legally unenforceable, but are enforced anyway. It’s a subject that is rarely ever discussed. Where has American leadership gone awry? Where are the examples of the leadership that was once Americas? There are none. Progressivism has seen to  that.

Hopefully, not too many public companies, like United Airlines, entertain clumsy business models that permits the clubbing of customers. But, as they are corporate entities that follow unbendable rules, they will pay the penalty in lost ridership, rotten PR and declining stock rvalues, and worse, possible bankruptcy, throwing hundreds of employees onto the dole.

For companies like United, apologies from top managers,”we re-accommodated him” are laughable and meaningless. Unless corporate structures change to the point that any employee, at any grade, is empowered to fearlessly call a halt to such stupidity when they see it, the carnage will continue. That’s the problem with strict adherence to rule books. There is no wiggle room so, blame the rule book.

In the United Airlines case, any member of the cabin crew should have had the authority, right then and there, to stop the assault and battery on a customer when other remedies were so easily available. The unhappy lesson of a mind-set that draws its actions from an inflexible rule book, that denies authority to employees to make spot decisions, is soon to be realized by the coming massive lawsuit, and will hasten a reevaluation of the unintended consequences of strict management by the no tolerance book of rules. Stupidity always accompanies indecision. When the lack of making an apparently simple decision is denied to the very employees who could have stopped it, then “stupidity” becomes the norm.

Last question. Who thought it was important enough to call the Airport Police to physically remove the customer from his paid seat? As a result of such stupid thinking, there are now, additionally, three police officers on the dock for taking action that was not not theirs to take, by enforcing some idiotic rule of a private corporations decisions to ruin their public relations. The good news is that United has apparently decided not to club their passengers any more.

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Trump attacked Syria because of Assad’s use of chemical weapons in contravention of UN agreements outlawing such use. Syria is a Russian client state. Russia sits on the UN Security Council. The UN Security Council did nothing! Remember when Obama brazenly drew his red line in the sand, then did nothing? Well, that’s not really true. He did do something. He left the door wide open for terrorists, tinpot dictators like Assad and Kim Jung Un, to assume it was okay to do what they wanted because Americas was too weak or indifferent to respond.

Then came Donald Trump. No hesitation, no hand wringing consensus by committee, just the necessary decision to point out to Syria that there is indeed a UN Convention against the use of chemical weapons. Nothing more! And half the world went nuts. The President now yields another big stick (for poking wasp nests) by sending a Carrier Strike Group into the waters surrounding the Korea’s and suddenly, Kim has gone to ground, either hiding in his bunker or enjoying a cultural respite in Manchuria. He could even be on holiday in Hawaii for all that. It wants to be a sanctuary state.

It took two full days for a startled Russia and a bellicose Iran, to issue a public response that threatened our well being if we dared an attack like that again. Iran say’s it has this remarkably efficient army, now earning their battle credentials in Syria, that stands ready to repel America,  the “Great Satan.” Senator Rand Paul said: “As horrific as those attacks were, and as heart-rending as the pictures and the atrocity and the children dying are, I don’t believe that there was a national security interest of the United States.” He’s correct up to a point, that point being Syria’s illegal use of chemical weapons, nothing more! Sen. Paul wants a debate first before launching any such attacks. Problem with that is, events move too fast for slow deliberation by a congressional committee to be effective. Besides, inefficient and incompetent as it is, government can’t really be trusted to do what’s right, when it’s needed. Sen. John McCain would already have us involved in a full scale, boots on the ground, bloody war by now, if he had his way. Clearly, Trump is not going to take a lot of crap off other Arab dictators either. Trump doesn’t care if they kill themselves wholesale, just don’t use chemical weapons to do it.

We may actually see an increase of Iranian attacks, either actual or inspired, in the Persian Gulf theater to show us who’s boss over there, but Iran hasn’t sallied forth any viable surface combat ships yet to show their flag, only a flotilla of small PT boats that C-Whiz Phalanx Gatling guns can quickly turn into splinters. They claim they have a potent submarine force. If its still in the Persian Gulf, it will stay there because the Straits of Hormuz is as deadly bottle neck for ‘em as it is for us.

Turning to North Korea, Kim Jung Un hasn’t threaten with a vast chemical weapons inventory, though he doubtless has them. Remember the assassination of his brother in Kuala Lumpur? Kim just prefers thermonuclear devices for the shock and awe effect, if the can deliver them.

Trump has their measure. He reads people like a deck of cards, understands their motives and, so far as I can tell, anticipate their movements. Trump has honed effective strategies for defeating his opponents developed over years of business negotiations. There is nothing sacrosanct about running a government different from running a business except governments don’t have to turn a profit. They’re still run by people and people will negotiate. Governments just spend until the money runs out, then vote themselves more while refilling their coffers by theft through taxation. Let’s stay with Trump. We’re moving in the right direction al last.

Opinion written by George McClellan:

We have not as yet witnessed a rise of defenestration within the ranks of the distraught, silly Progressives still fuming over Hillary Clinton’s loss to that abominable Donald Trump. We will watch and report. The evidence will mount when the streets and sidewalks of college and universities fill with the lifeless, limp bodies of the lost generation who can’t take it any more, unable to comprehend America’s sharp right turn into Constitutionalism. So be it! That’s in the near future but, whatever happens, it will still be Trumps fault. Except success of course.

Unfortunately, Obama kept our economic disaster ball rolling, in fact he gave it an extra kick so that no matter what he does, can do, will want to do, Trump will be unable to stop the country’s rapid descent into financial chaos. The chickens will come home to roost. They are not Trumps.

Among the current problems facing the GOP, apart from the coming world financial collapse, is the immediate removal of the Progressives biggest tax, Obamacare. The economic future of America demands it. The Democrats are desperate that their Progressive plan for Americas future, that hinged on a single payer health care plan like Britain’s NHS, is in serious danger of going away. Once it does, they will never, in our lifetime, have another shot at the prize.

But, as an act of political warfare the GOP, predictably, formed up their usual circular firing squad and introduced a completely unsatisfactory replacement plan, one encased in the mist of verbal nonsense about America’s health care future. Correctly, they were challenged by the Conservative Freedom Caucus, who insisted Obamacare “repeal” had to be the first act.

This idiocy could have been easily avoided, especially the unfortunate consequences of the media’s scrutiny that always accompanies the GOP’s screw-ups, leaving the field free for the Democrats to enter. The Democrats are almost dead and yet they are allowed to set the narrative. Obviously the House leadership, incapable of shearing away from the money supplied elitism to which they have long been addicted, simply had to reintroduce the GOP’s 2015 bill that Obama vetoed. Trump would have signed it. That’s what he wants, a bill to sign.

Wounded and bleeding as they are, Democrats are still the aggressor and in politics, the aggressors almost always win. Why? Because the GOP sits and waits for the next blow instead of going on the attack themselves. They don’t know how to attack. If Mitch McConnell invokes the “nuclear option,” on the Gorsuch nomination, that is going on the attack! The Democrats are near apoplectic in fear that that’s actually what’s actually going to happen to them. They’ve about shot their last bolt. Chuckie Schumer has no more bolts. His talk is now only bravado.

Politics survive in the murky swamp of fear and hope. Obama was a master at invoking those concepts, invoking fear by scaring those dependent on government while dividing the races. It is no surprise that these disparate elements are having a hard time coming to grips with the divisions of the political winners, the Republican party. It’s a matter of perception, isn’t it?. Trump is not a Republican. He is not a Democrat either, but a businessman who knows the glories of an economically vibrant America. That’s where I want to go but we will never get there if we still cling to the hope that our future lies on dependence on government.

There is no comity now, between Americas political parties. There cannot be if one party remains unAmerican, trying to impose a Marxist society on freedom loving Americans who hate being robbed by government and worse, being told what to do by bureaucrats.

Opinion written by George McClellan:

California Senator Diane Feinstein used the issue of abortion for her attack on Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. She said that she will probably oppose him because he believes “the intentional taking of a human life by private persons is always wrong.” Private persons here being abortionists, including professionally trained medical doctors.

It’s apparently okay to take lives, by execution, of adults who have passed the line of abiding in a safe society by their decision(s) to become murderous or treasonous criminals, but that’s another argument. Society basically agrees there is a point that disposing of the lives of those who made bad choices is indispensable for a communities safety and happiness.

Continuing the estimable Senators delusional pontifications, she opined: “Judge Gorsuch has not had occasion to rule directly on a case involving Roe. However, his writings do raise questions. Specifically, he wrote that he believes there are no exceptions to the principle that ‘the intentional taking of a human life by private persons is always wrong.’ This language has been interpreted by both pro-life and pro-choice organizations to mean he would overturn Roe.”

How more morally reprehensible can she and her party, be? Diane Feinstein proudly labels herself a Progressive and demonstrates that pride in act, word and deed. A casual examination of the history of her “Progressivism” reveals a sordid story concerning their attitude toward human life, who should live and who should not, a philosophy not wrapped in a “woman’s choice,” but what was actually best for the “collective.” Women’s healthcare was never an issue.

The 20th Century alone reveals a bleak, history of Progressive (Communist) regimes that glorified in murdering over 100 million innocent people in the name of the “Party.” Concerns for human rights, when the Bolshevik Revolution swept across Russia in the early 1900’s, was not an issue at all. The leap from Soviet Russia to Maoist China is a short one, but the body count raised exponentially. We cannot forget the killing fields of Cambodia and Burma either.

A reading of the 20th century history of Soviet Russia reveals little, if anything, about abortions. Why would abortions be important in a Progressive paradise whose policies were the wholesale murder of men, women and children. The effectiveness of mass starvation, slave labor camps and summary executions of enemies of the state, (and abortions) cannot be denied.

Sen. Feinstein did say something very important about Trump, he would keep his word and that reflects on Gorsuch. Specifically, she said: “President Trump repeatedly promised to appoint someone in the mold of Justice Scalia and that the nomination of Judge Gorsuch illustrates he’s a man of his word,”  that “The Supreme Court has the final say on whether a woman will continue to have control over her own body or whether decisions about her healthcare will be determined by politicians and the government.”  “By politicians and the government?”

Politicians are the government and if its a Progressive one, then mass killings could be here to stay. One supposes, according to Feinstein, that Progressives think they are morally superior to Judge Gorsuch. For a politician to be morally superior is to arrogantly rise above the Scriptures (the Torah in Feinstein’s case) and, to assert that “the Party” knows what’s best for all is to make social injustice a conceited excuse for criminal behavior, women’s choice be damned. We have left Obama’s murky world of political favoritism, threats and lawlessness. Let’s not go there again.
