It's About Amazing and UN-AMAZING Things

Dear America,

"OUR

FOREFATHERS

WOULD BE 

SHOOTING 

BY NOW."

It's from the backside of a t-shirt @ a Trump rally,

somewhere in America, only a few months ago.

...And this is me,  AWESTRUCK; 

my army of amusing muses never stop amazing me.

happy tuesday

In the spirit of the great I AM who Lives and Breathes Everywhere and Often, UNCEASINGLY, let's just start here:  I AM becoming completely UNGLUED! these days, gasping for Higher Air in the midst of total Chaos.

And let me just add, if we were to consider the Obama Administration synonymous with "the Great Community Organizer-in-Chief (and we do), then it would be fair to say, that the Trump Administration is leading by way of the Great Community UN-ORGANIZER-in-Chief.  And Yes!  this is good; and NO! it isn't...for it runs parallel with the incredibly UNBEARABLE Heaviness of Being in the face of such attacks from within and without, above and below, the White House. 

Now granted, we are bearing witness to the complete UNMASKING of  America's "UNBIASED" media wreaking havoc and making hay upon everything and nothing...that we are sure.

  

See WASHINGTON COMPOST...Glenn Kessler's Twitter: "Applause in the newsroom as the Russia-leak scoop breaks the Hollywood Access record for most readers per minute."

How about the Post, post THIS.

And let's get McMaster's take, take THIS... pointing out, "...Their [the adults in the room] on-the-record accounts should outweigh those of anonymous sources."  While McMaster doubles down, today.

Of course, in other news -- and there is some -- the DNC Staffer, Seth Rich, who was murdered just outside his home, allegedly after leaking documents to Wikileaks....Let the unmasking begin, beginning with the documentation of a rampant siege, including a plethora of internal backstabbing withing the ranks of the Clinton presidential campaign, thereby unmasking the clear intent to derail Bernie Sanders....buh bye bernie.  Of course, we need to mention, this story is via an anonymous source, too.  Wow, the forces are coming in from all sides.

Hmmmmm  To Siege: 1. the act or process of surrounding and attacking a fortified place in such a way as to isolate it from help and supplies, for the purpose of lessening the resistance of the defenders and thereby making capture possible.
2. any prolonged or persistent effort to overcome resistance.

The thing is, there is no question, the TRUMP Administration is UNDER SIEGE.

But if we are to cover the WHOLE truth and nothing but the TRUTH, it would be fair to consider this siege actually began long before Trump even arrived in the theater.  As in the maneuverings of the massive army of free radicals still active, still dangerous, still siege-ing, and boldly taking every opportunity that comes their way to demonstrate their treasonous intentions against this country; we are referencing the directives and tactics under Saul Alinsky, a regime in which every Leftist Lives and Breathes and worships it's rules and commandments as written by one of its masters of re-creation.  Because, you know...this is how they think:

 “If they bring a knife

 to the fight, we bring a gun,” 

Obama said in Philadelphia last night. 

“Because from what I understand, 

folks in Philly 

like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

oh man, to have the last nine years back, right?

What we are really witnessing, is America being re-organized --with malice -- from within.

Here comes the judge, here comes the judge, now scrolling back to the Napolitano interview with the beautiful Bartiromo:  He says, “The use of intelligence data for political purposes is a felony.” 

But back to the present (sorta),  never you mind that HILLARY CLINTON has been directly associated with a whole host of leaks and conflicts of interest and UNSCRUPULOUS acts, be it as a presidential contender or while at the state department (and BS, before the state schtick) or even as a wife of an Arkansas Governor, who would eventually become president.  

And yet for purposes of getting through today's news, maybe we should just start here: How  James Comey put it on July 5, 2016, and as thoroughly documented @CNN going something like this:  ...7 Most Damning Lines On Clinton.  And looky there, CNN was sorta sticking it to Hillary using James Comey of all people; ah yes, that was then, this is now.

And then again...

Maybe, just maybe,  how about we start with Leftists everywhere (wherever they live and breathe and have their being, make their living....media, universities, bureaucrats)  just drop their knives and see what happens.  Can't we all co-exist with respect, one damn good debate after another?  Like, you know, using our words and facts and arguments intelligently, and suspending these greater understandings into the atmosphere, the blogo-sphere, the media-sphere, for all time with a certain degree of enlightenment and decorum vs. the not so much?

Apparently NOT:  Hillary Clinton Officially launches a resistance group...see CNN.

[This message also goes out to the Trump twitter account...just keeping it real]

To which this girl must dwell for a moment upon something not straight outta Compton or New York, but from straight outta Proverbs:

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, 

but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."

oh thank God, right?

And suddenly, in this moment, all of the many aspects of the complete un-glue-ing of me is coming to a pause, as a certain hush takes over my feeble and humble understanding of the many UNSEEMLY persons, places and things surrounding America and seem laser focused with the siege of unwavering attacks against her and now pulling out all the stops (with shots) upon the Trump Administration...  

[AND please don't misunderstand -- I AM ALL FOR A FREE PRESS.  A free, honest, open, intelligent, unbiased news stream for ALL is what separates us from places like Venezuela, and Russia, and Syria and France; and, I AM ALL FOR the Trump Administration to tidy up within the fortress of the people's White House...maybe a little re-organizing would be a good idea.]

...My anonymous source tells me that the source of these unseemly things are unquestionably UNBECOMING of being an American.  It's like, I just have to ask -- whose side are you on? 

But perhaps the better question -- whatever happened to being on the same side?  
.... and just thinking out loud now...like, as in the days of JFK, when he asked 'ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."   

Indeed; that one just never seems to get old.

This is the time and the place that all AMERICANS should wrap their little heads around those words and put it to good use....everywhere and often.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's America at the Crossroads Thing

Dear America,

No Justice, No Peace

No Peace, No Justice

in the context of replacing Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia,  this depicts two sides of the same coin.... e pluribus unum  ...squaring off.  yay.

The coin this girl is looking at right now is a quarter --- honoring North Carolina -- and it shows the Blue Ridge Parkway curving 'round into what is clearly a tunnel, and whose got time to stop and smell the flowers at a time like this? [And that would be the Flowering Dogwood fyi.]  While good 'ole George is on the front...right alongside the words "In God We Trust" and "LIBERTY."

The court is in the cross hairs, here at the crossroads.

And there is a wonderful piece, at The Washington Examiner, by Philip Klein, that might explain this thing called partisan...which is, surprisingly, defined in The American Heritage Dictionary as "a militant supporter of a party, cause, faction, person, or idea."  Seriously.  It said "militant" -- which is simply speaking of "a combative character... a militant person, especially, a political activist."

Klein lays it out like so -- the confirmation fights got bitter because government got bigger.

In modern Washington, appointed bureaucrats can issue sweeping regulations imposing billions of dollars in costs on industry, small businesses, and consumers; they can determine what type of health coverage every citizen must buy; and can make individuals pay more for electricity.

It wasn't supposed to be this way. Originally, the federal government was to be one of limited powers. Whatever power wasn't explicitly granted to Washington, or ruled out, was to reside with the states and their people. When that's the case, it allows citizens to debate divisive issues amongst themselves, giving them a voice in the process, and allowing for regional differences to exist on particularly contentious issues.

hence,
the arrival of the number one reason to reform the federal government and return to the Senate it's intended purpose as stipulated by our founders; the Senate was intended to represent the best interests of the STATE.    And to that end, unlike the House of Representatives,  the two Senators/state were to be placed in office by the elected STATE legislatures accordingly.  In this manner, the smaller, less populated, and possibly less prosperous, states would share an equal portion and voice with the larger, more powerful, metropolitan centers of the country.  And likewise, the balance between conservative and liberal ideology, by number, by state, is met somewhere in the middle.

Rhode Island would have two votes in the Senate just like California... or Iowa; South Carolina and North Carolina...North Dakota and South Dakota....to each state comes the same two votes, supporting the whole of the state.  boom.

And since we have been discussing the aspect of the Separation of Powers (as in, yesterday's gthing), it would behoove us to recognize that the Judicial Branch was intended to be of fairly little importance in the great scheme of things.  It was not intended to sway, write, re-write, violate, desecrate, the Constitution, or the Rule of Law, itself.  Activism of any kind would not only usurp the process, but nullify legitimacy of any, if not all, decisions forthcoming. [The reason Roe v Wade decision has never ended the debate on abortion...]

No Justice, No Peace

No Peace, No Justice

The partisanship rearing it's ugly head has the capacity to destroy the Republic; and the beginning of the end will be the day the Supreme Court shifts to a reckless, progressive stance in re-writing, re-litigating, the law.   Ultimately, setting America up for a kind of fundamental transformation unimaginable; such a transformation violates our Checks and Balances, our Separation of Powers, our very nature of a government of the people and for the people.  Without such balances in place, the government gets bigger, the people in power grow more oppressive, confirmations grow more bitter, -- and --  true liberty for all dies.

Take a quarter out of your pocket and look at it...Under a limited government, there is neither front or back -- there is simply the whole. Feel the rough edges in between, where the slow process of critical thinking and colorful debate shape and define and limit the powers from on high.   Minting the law, respective of the intention back behind its origins, the original thought, is of the highest order.  And, indeed, often times it comes in fine lines and discriminating, treacherous, decision making -- there is only so much space for change -- otherwise the law becomes meaningless, changing on whimsy.

Fascism anyone?

Klein continues to illuminate, noting something quite profound:

As for the judiciary, it was conceived as the "weakest" branch of government, as described by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78. Hamilton explained that the judiciary "has no influence over either the sword or the purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society; and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment…"

And now look at us -- being on the receiving end of our Chief Justice John Roberts conforming to a certain lawlessness in Obamacare... and consequently, having fully re-defined the law, as in designating it to be a tax in order to confirm the president's authority to tax every citizen, and subsequently, siding with the liberal majority in both branches to MANDATE every citizen to be insured!   So much for limited powers.

You know, Scalia joined the High Court in 1986.  At the time of his confirmation hearings, it finally led to a vote of 98 to 0.  Nobody contested his confirmation.  Nobody contested Kennedy in 1988 either.  And Ruth Bader Ginsburg, circa 1993, was nearly unanimous, too.  [See also a fun map of the bench, just swipe over a judge for a quick bio on confirmation, here.]

President Obama has decidedly opted out in attending Antonin Scalia's funeral, tomorrow.  Shameful, considering this is a moment to leave the partisanship home and safely tucked under the cover of darkness.  A presidential salute of gratitude and respect is just part of the job description, if nothing else.  Not to mention, this would be a first -- a presidential, partisan, supreme size dis.

ON another front, how ironic that President Obama finds himself buried in regret [albeit disingenuously... sidebar alert, sidebar alert] in responding to his own actions during the Alito confirmation hearings... when the democrats did everything in their power to stop it.  He says now, as in Tuesday, this:

“I think what’s fair to say is that how judicial nominations have evolved over time is not historically the fault of any single party,” Obama said Tuesday. “This has become just one more extension of politics.”   [and for more, go to The Hill, here]  

well, there you go.
While his tone of voice, his face, really said it all --  it went something more like this... f%$$ the Constitution


The tell.  The truth. The travesty illuminated and confirmed in the year of our Lord, Two Thousand and Sixteen: we elected a free radical into the Oval Office, blinded by hope and change.

Thank God elections do have consequences -- whether it be the Executive Branch, or the House, or the Senate.  This is a time for the partisanship in the Senate to hold tight to the "two bits" in the hand and all for which she stands -- e pluribus unum -- and purposely fight for what is right for the American people, for it is reasonable and sound governing.

If we, the people, are ever to accept the reality that the Supreme Court has evolved into a mere extension of politics, and it sticks in our hearts and minds like a bad penny -- then it might as well be our funeral tomorrow, too.



Make it a Good Day, G
