It's a No-Brainer, No Boner, No Blaming America Hat Trick Thing

Dear America,

it's not a good day in America,

but let's just pretend that it is, shall we?

this is rich...

“Lucifer in the flesh,..“I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life...”  this, out of the mouth of John Dumb-ass Boner  Boehner

and isn't this the best news ever!  

and somebody, please, 

  hail the snap cup ...

and make that snappy.

(tee hee)

Boner also went on to say he would vote for Trump, if he gets the nomination -- and would not even consider a vote for Cruz.  And so  which candidate is preferred by 4 out of 5 establishment operatives?

Thank you, Boner, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If there was ever a time to have a "son of a bitch" to be the leader of the free world, the moment is now.  No --- scratch that -- let's be real...that moment has passed long ago, but this girl will settle for now.  But thank you for illuminating which was which for all of the low-information voters out there -- or for even the high-information voter imbibing on the Trump punch and finding themselves a wee bit dizzy on the dreams and aspirations of another American boy, only this time a "conservative."

and how about that new running mate speaking with  Megyn Kelly -- who said -- 

“This isn’t over until someone reaches 1,237. … I believe Ted Cruz will be our nominee. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are virtually indistinguishable in their positions. And he cannot be our nominee, and if he were to be our nominee, Hillary Clinton would be our president. And that is a future that I’m not prepared to lay by and allow to have happen.”               and thank you, Carly Fiorina.

so for kicks and giggles, how about we consider the day Ted Cruz is having these days, shall we?  

and while the prevailing sentiment seems to be he is playing games....that he's desperate...jumping the gun and putting horse before cart yadi yadi yada by outlining his VP long before convention...

Well, keep it up, CRUZ!  And let me just add, if Cruz is king of the sideshows and circus acts -- what does that make Trump?

oh and speaking serious, how about that foreign policy speech?

yeah, it was kinda good, wasn't it.  

oh bother...

it was just nice to hear him speak without yelling or calling anyone names or sounding like he's standing at the craps table.

Here's a Rushie analysis, in full conversation in real time -- go EB...Excellence in Broadcasting!

Here's a second analysis from my favorite place @The Patriot Post...Better Than Blaming America First.

are we having fun yet?

and yet, in the post (linked above) by Nate Jackson, he summed up a couple of " 'yuge' red flags...." so let me highlight:

First, Trump obviously doesn’t think deeply about anything, so his speech was, as is typical of everything he says, all over the map in terms of a guiding vision. Trump has now taken both sides of almost every issue, just as Obama does. For example, Trump promised to eradicate the Islamic State “very, very quickly,” but he also rejected a large ground force or occupation. How would he accomplish his goal? He didn’t say. He said U.S. foreign policy should be “more unpredictable” but also “disciplined, deliberate and consistent.” A good start would be a consistent speech. And that’s only scratching the surface of his inconsistencies.

Second, our biggest worry is exemplified in this single quote: “I’m the only one — believe me, I know them all — I’m the only one who knows how to fix it.” Since 2008, we’ve gone from “Yes We Can” to “Yes I Can.” We’ve endured almost eight years with a man who still thinks he’s the messiah, and we have no desire for a similar second coming.

it's a good day, indeed.

One thing  that Nate noted there in the end should be addressed by me, little g, tee hee...and that being the part going like this: "He said U.S. foreign policy should be “more unpredictable” but also “disciplined, deliberate and consistent.” A good start would be a consistent speech."

and the thing is, this girl totally gets what Trump is saying; and not only do I get it, but I agree! For in the area of foreign relations and policy, being "more unpredictable" on the front lines, in military strategy, in protecting and defending people -- whether our own or in another land -- we MUST keep secrets and be "unpredictable!"  For how stupid is it to tell the enemy (and even fellow Americans at times) exactly what we are doing and why and how and when!  Can I get an amen, or perhaps better, a oorah! in formation?!  The element of surprise IS a military cornerstone!  Hello???   Trojan Horse, anyone?

And speaking of surprises, 

can we just stop and notice how Biden is heating up?

upon this great and good day in America,  sure hope somebody on the right is preparing for the JB takeover...just in case...but who am I but just a girl...

here's the thing,

Cruz has not captured the flag, to date, because of things like this:

"The amazing thing is, that basketball ring in Indiana, it's the same height as it is New York City and every other place in this country,"

 nice analogy but the buzzer got you beat, buddy.  just sayin'

Basketball ring?  really?  seriously?  even I know it's a HOOP!  

and this girl loves playing H  O  R  S   E....but I digress.

America has halfheartedly picked Trump because he is all alpha all the time.  

America wants somebody to take control of the reins and run with it, make it great again, maybe even do a little good, and most of all, put America first without apologies.

This is a no-Brainer, no Boner, no Blaming America hat trick, alongside Cruz behaving -- presidentially speaking -- as the polar opposite of Trump.  Propped up by bogus media bias, with Drudge highlighting every single Cruz mistake, and Fox News declaring Trump the winner (in spirit) only every single freaking day, the horse has arrived and sits inside the pearly gates, folks.   And Trump's mission, being the man's man, alpha persona, dog whistling dixie-do-little-or-alot, is of no surprise; and not only does it come naturally to him, it has encouraged many Americans to perceive things seen and unseen.

oh it's a good day to be a hot mess in America.

and so let's just wrap things up.

H

O

R

S

E.  

if this were a game, and it is, Cruz is on E (and it's not for empty).  Let's hope it's for ELECTRIC ELECTORATE -- or at least enough to get him to the big show, shall we?

I mean, how much fun will that be...a contested convention collision.  I think it has a nice ring to it, don't you?

gotta go.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's BE Your Own Caucus Thing

Dear America,

Be Your Own Caucus

and then there were three

 (oh, plus the other two bozos...but who's counting the race-baiting, income inequality propagandists...the social re-engineering leftist/socialists/progressives, who are now equally, hellbent on undermining the nation's Constitution while eviscerating American traditions and values , right?)

Now let's get down to the brass tacks, shall we?

Be Your Own Caucus

Last night was enlightening; and this morning, having painstakingly arrived at my inner-pithy-girl core -- let me just say this:  every candidate who did not achieve double digits needs to bow out gracefully right now (and thank you, Huckabee).  The tea leaves have left the building.

Of course, we could just sit tight and see if New Hampshire causes any more stirs, but this girl just isn't seeing it... and my chakras were re-aligned just last Tuesday, so you can trust me.

Be Your Own Caucus

Being your own caucus is not an easy thing to do--  you know, given the depth of distractions, the variance of perceptions, and the intensity of political maneuverings in which we are surrounded in the every day.

A good example of this is found immediately following the last Republican debate -- if you did not watch it with your own two eyes -- the pundits just may have led you astray with the thinking that Jeb may have had one of his best nights and may have given his campaign some life.  Not.  (Sorry, Charlie Krauthammer)

Now -- for me, G -- having watched every maniacal minute -- Jeb did no such thing.  Matter of fact, this girl would be hard pressed to even acknowledge, let alone remember, if he was even on stage, to tell you the truth.

So let's just speed things up a wee bit and skip right over to the Manipura Chakra (the third, if counting) -- it is the source of our personal power, and sits right about the belly button...

and breathe...find your inner faith hill and just breathe.

Be Your Own Caucus

so where are we now?

Now, in the beginning, God created Man...and eventually, we arrived at a place in history when our Founders asked of Americans to do our duty, to God and to country -- having laid the groundwork and poured the foundation and built the cornerstones that elevated the REPUBLIC over two hundred years ago -- in each new generation.

"A people must

 from time to time,

 refresh themselves at the well-spring 

of their origin, lest they perish."  

"Though, when a people 

shall have become incapable 

of governing themselves 

and fit for a master, 

it is of little consequence 

from what quarter he comes."

"A frequent recurrence 

to the fundamental principles 

of the constitution, 

and a constant adherence 

to those of piety, justice,

 moderation, temperance, industry,

 and frugality are absolutely necessary

 to preserve the advantage 

of liberty, 

and to maintain a free government."

Coming into enlightenment within the Universe of All Things Encompassing a Free, Limited Government requires activating our inner guru and educating ourselves, meditating on the truth, understanding the fundamentals, and enriching life within the collective by being responsible, self-governing, self-reliant individuals.   There is no other way to get there.

Read The 5000 Year Leap, and you can be one who knows, too. [btw above quotes from The Leap]

Let's get through what happened last night...

Marco Rubio - -  aka MR President -- was brilliant. xoxo

Sure, he finished third, but you would never know it by listening to him.   LISTEN NOW.  IF the election were right now, he would get my vote.  Take my word for it -- he had THE BEST SPEECH of the entire night.  Pithy.  Good.  Preaching Conservative everything in perfect pitch.  A little slice of nirvana, through and through...  The thing is -- he is electable, like yesterday.    (I know, I know...that's like two days in a row where I crow about Rubio....weird.  Let's just call it some new found faith for now and move on...)

Now, The Donald ducked out of his speech as quickly as he could, having come in second place, and clearly not winning like he said he would do... because that's all he does, wins.  'We're gonna get sick of winning', he said.  

He looked small... as in itty bitty.  Just a speck in the universe.  Which amuses me a bit, you know, given he thought IOWA would be such a cake walk and all...

Allow me to paraphrase his second place acceptance speech:    me, me, me, I love you Iowa, me, me, me, I love you Iowa, back to me...And then he promptly ends his three minutes with a bribe?   

Are you kidding me?  He didn't say one thing about being conservative, or the nation's fundamentals, or anything.    Nothing.  Nada.  He's like, gotta go.  Is it just me?  He's not a natural...conservative. (and fyi...about 60% of the country can't stand the guy....this is a problem.)

SO, CRUZ.

hmmmmmmmmm

ommmmmmmmm

and being a real follower of his -- it just pains me to say this...

no. stop.  no.

you're killing me softly, ted.

First, you begin by sounding like a television evangelist.....and you dragged on and on about nothing and yet, too much, simultaneously, in some kind of spontaneous combustion...and then... when you went to your mom... my fifth chakra, Vishuddha , nearly choked me into a sudden death.  

And you weren't done!   

Next up,  Cousin Bibi...Dad...the American people stories...and then finally to the people of New Hampshire and talking to the camera directly....seriously? Newsflash:  You've only just begun, Ted; you're acting like you won the big one when it was just Iowa -- and a primary!

You, kind sir, carrying on like that, hypothetically have not a chance in hell in the big election IF that election were hypothetically held today.  Just sayin'.   Namaste.  No, really, namaste.  

[Before last night, Cruz was only at 37% unfavorable rating, if anyone is keeping track.]

Be Your Own Caucus

This is so hard.

Isn't there a pill we can take for this?

...just breathe...

What I would give for "a thousand petal lotus" right now.  [if scratching your head on that, then may I recommend you head up to review the Chakras link above one    more     time     ommmmmm]

From Alexander Hamilton:

"The fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE.  The streams of national power ought to flow immediately from that pure, original fountain of all legitimate authority."

yes indeed.

And just in case you missed it -- we are that one pure original fountain, now simply effervescing upon our legitimate authority, as we speak.  Iowa just so happened to speak up first.

You do your part and I'll do mine; transcending the mundane, reaching into our own soul, and getting to the truth is all in a day's work, boys and girls.  It takes courage and strength of conviction,sure  -- but it begins with an open and spotless mind, anchored in something far greater than ourselves, and then educated, like the wind... softly blowing against our cheek, on a beach, with the sun shining down upon our shoulders, in everlasting peace.  deep intelligence is mine. And can be yours, too, if you respond in the next......

In God we trust.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's a Grey Morning in America Thing

Dear America,

"To him whose 

elastic and vigorous thought

 keeps pace with the sun, 

the day is a perpetual morning.  

It matters not what the clocks say

 or the attitudes and labors of men. 

 Morning is when I am awake 

and there is a dawn in me," 

 Henry David Thoreau

and yet it is morning and look at me,

stymied by the perpetual angst growing wider and deeper and stronger between camps.

Making heads or tails of any of it becomes an exercise in futility; round and round we go, where it stops nobody knows.

How in the world can a Sarah Palin be aligned with Trump...when the entire crew at National Review writes THIS.   And please, by all means, read the post and click into the full review @National Review, by clicking the little blue box directing you to all of the individual opinions of the editors at large, including Glenn Beck, Steven Hayward, Andrew McCarthy, Edwin Meese....just to name a few (four, actually).

All the while, we have people like Lindsay Graham -- the sad little Rino that he is -- saying things like this, when responding to the choice between the two front runners (Trump or Ted):  "It's like being shot or poisoned. What does it really matter?"

oh really, you sore loser?

The problem that seems most glaring -- and it has come about nearly overnight, mind you -- is that now, the Republican National Committee has come out to chastise the National Review for it's position and has "dis-invited" them to be a sponsor at the next debate, airing now on CNN instead of NBC.  Also worthy to note, how "the establishment" seems to be rallying around Trump as if he's been the one all along.  See more at NBC, here -- or just let me take Ted's word to you direct:

 "If we nominate another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole, or a John McCain or a Mitt Romney, all of whom are good and honorable men, but what they did didn't work," Cruz says often in his campaign stump speeches, implying they were not full-fledged conservatives...Mr. Trump's pitch to the Washington establishment is he's a dealmaker," Cruz said. "He'll go and cut a deal with Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, and those deals. He'll do exactly what John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have done — continue the failed big government policies of this administration, continue the cronyism, continue the corporate welfare, continuing Washington picking winners and losers."

While Bob Dole simply says this of Cruz:  "Nobody likes him."

And now hear this, from Peter King:

"Cruz isn't a good guy, and he'd be impossible as president. People don't trust him. And regardless of what your concern is with Trump, he's pragmatic enough to get something done. I also don't see malice in Trump like I see with Cruz."

[the last two thoughts coming from here]

Hmmm just where have I heard "pragmatic" before...right, right...that's how they characterized a young senator from Illinois just before we walked down the path of the last seven years and grew an establishment so big, we can't see over the fence.

Which reminds me of one thing I can share wholeheartedly with Trump.  And that is my understanding and respect of this little Robert Frost diddy:  "good fences make good neighbors"  [and -- if you were so inclined to click the link there -- further discovery would find that no one can actually claim original possession of this thought...]

Now, getting back to the news of the day -- my opening, on loan, made courtesy of Thoreau -- came from the epic, cultural phenomenon, WALDEN.  Allow me to revisit this for just another moment in time in this morning:

"The nation itself, with all its so-called internal improvements, which by the way, are all external and superficial, is just such an unwieldy and overgrown establishment, cluttered with furniture and tripped up by its own traps, ruined by luxury and heedless expense, by want of calculation and a worthy aim, as the million households in the land; and the only cure for it, as for them, is in a rigid economy, a stern and more than Spartan simplicity of life and elevation of purpose."

Indeed.  And this is Thoreau speaking of the world in the mid-eighteen hundreds!

Me thinks he would have a thing or two to say about today's "trappings" -- no?

Of course, perspective is fairly due -- and accordingly we get it, rather snappy on the very next page -- as Thoreau goes on to conclude that he "could easily do without a post office."  funny stuff.

Alas, The Establishment has much to be ashamed of -- given how the mornings grew into decades, and the decades grew into centuries, recklessly furnishing America of its temporal and blissful, unforgivable and unconscionable, debt, made by society, for society, and through every channel of society, foolishly and selfishly, for the life-everlasting, eternal supply of a dream from here to eternity.

Not to mention this --

We didn't seem to fancy the thin-skinned narcissist leader of the last seven -- what in the world, on this sunny Southern California morn, has made us think we can handle another?

"The intellect is a cleaver; 

it discerns and rifts 

its way into the secret of things." 

yes...more Thoreau...
just to be thorough in the nip tucking of a thought.

Deep down we know.

Deep down, there is a thing to be had and we just might be it.

And it's pretty critical that we think critically, without ceasing.

The confusion -- unlike the crystal clear aquamarine sky above me -- rains down upon a nation, arguing with itself like cats and dogs. begging for mercy --- and praying that one day soon, the heaven's will open up and shed some light.  Or just maybe, a bolt of lightning! ...to shake us to the core of every issue, stir us, and hopefully cast a sudden awakening to the truth; and perchance, rather matter-of-factly, merrily send us on our way up the path...the path being the one and only, the straight, the narrow, the good,  and thoreau-ly conservative path to take.

Make it a Good Day, G

....having said this, let me say that,  I WILL support the GOP nominee without fail, with pail or pitch fork, come hell or high water..."Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in."  HDT
