It's About Trump Being Eaten Alive by Wolves Thing

Dear America,

you know, if we keep ripping each other apart, bit by bit, we may as well just call in the vultures to finish us off.

buh-bye America

Trump, just yesterday....freely answering questions to the press --

"Frankly, people still don't know all of the facts. It was very important that – excuse me, excuse me – it was very important to me to get the facts out and correctly. Because if I would have made a fast statement, and the first statement was made without knowing much other than what we were seeing. 

The second statement was made after – with knowledge, with great knowledge. There are still things – excuse me – there are still things that people don't know."

........

Seems Fair to say.

(CROSSTALK)

QUESTION: Was it – two questions. Was it terrorism? And can you tell us what you're feeling about your...

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: Well, I think the driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family and his country. And that is – you can call it terrorism. You can call it murder. You can call it whatever you want. I would just call it as the fastest one to come up with a good verdict. That's what I'd call it. Because there is a question. Is it murder? Is it terrorism? And then you get into legal semantics. 

The driver of the car is a murderer. And what he did was a horrible, horrible, inexcusable thing.

Seems Fair to say.

next up, after a bit on Bannnon, we get to this --

TRUMP: Senator McCain?

QUESTION: ...the alt-right and...

TRUMP: Senator McCain, you mean the one who voted against Obamacare? Who is – you mean Senator McCain who voted against us getting good healthcare?  [LOVE THIS!]

QUESTION: Senator McCain said that the alt-right is behind these attacks, and he linked that same group to those who perpetrated the attack in Charlottesville.

TRUMP: Well, I don't know – I can't tell you. I'm sure Senator McCain must know what he's talking about. But when you say the "alt- right," define "alt-right" to me. You define it, go ahead.

Seems Fair to ask.

QUESTION: Well, I think that (ph)...

TRUMP: No, define it for me, come on. Let's go. Define it for me.  [LOVE THIS!]

Seems Fair to ask...again.

QUESTION: Senator McCain defined them as the same group...

TRUMP: OK, what about the alt-left that came charging them (ph)? Excuse me. What about the alt-left that came charging at the – as you say, the alt-right? Do they have any semblance of guilt?

..........

TRUMP: Go ahead.

QUESTION: Do you think that the – what you call the alt-left is the same as neo-Nazis?

TRUMP: Those people – all of those people – excuse me. I've condemned neo-Nazis. I've condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were White Supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee. 

So – excuse me. And you take a look at some of the groups and you see – and you'd know it if you were honest reporters, which in many cases you're not, but many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. 

So this week it's Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson's coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? 

You know, you all – you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop? But they were there to protest – excuse me. You take a look, the night before, they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. 

Infrastructure question, go ahead.

Seems Fair to say and question.

no, really....QUESTION: Should the statue of Robert E. Lee stay up?

TRUMP: I would say that's up to a local town, community, or the federal government, depending on where it is located.

This is where he blinked -- the final answer should have been more like, absolutely; for this allows the country to continue to have teachable moments into the next generation, and even the next, and the next. 

Next:
QUESTION: Are you against the Confederacy?

QUESTION: How concerned are you about race relations in America? And do you think things have gotten worse or better since you took office?

TRUMP: I think they've gotten better or the same – look, they've been frayed for a long time. And you can ask President Obama about that, because he'd make speeches about it. 

But I believe that the fact that I brought in – it will be soon, millions of jobs, you see where companies are moving back into our country, I think that's going to have a tremendous positive impact on race relations. 

We have companies coming back into our country. We have two car companies that just announced. We have Foxconn in Wisconsin just announce. We have many companies I say pouring back into the country. 

I think that's going to have a huge, positive impact on race relations. You know why? It's jobs. What people want now, they want jobs. They want great jobs with good pay. And when they have that, you watch how race relations will be. 

And I'll tell you, we're spending a lot of money on the inner cities. We're going to fix – we're fixing the inner cities. We're doing far more than anybody's done with respect to the inner cities. It's a priority for me. And it's very important.

Seems Fair to say and encouraging.

(CROSSTALK)

QUESTION: Mr. President, are you putting what you're calling the alt-left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?

TRUMP: I'm not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I'm saying is this. You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs and it was vicious and it was horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch. 

But there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left. You've just called them the left – that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that's the way it is.

Seems Fair to say -- 

although, sadly, also revealing how everything 

gets deciphered through a politically correct prism; 

a prism entirely controlled by the Left, 

and disseminated through the left-wing mainstream media.  

next up..............a crosstalk bonanza...............

QUESTION: (inaudible) started this (inaudible) Charlottesville. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest...

(CROSSTALK) TRUMP: Excuse me, excuse me. (inaudible) themselves (inaudible) and you have some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me – I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.

Seems Fair to say.  

Although became immediately clear,  to offer a plethora ofpathetic 

fodder for the left and weak republicans to feed off of for days.

like....Mitch, Bush, Romney, Ryan, Kasich, blah blah blah

TRUMP WASN'T CALLING THE NEO-NAZI'S PART OF THE 'VERY FINE PEOPLE' !  You Idiots!!!!!   He was talking about the other people who were in the crowd WHO WERE JUST THERE TO PERFORM A CIVIC DUTY to protest the erasing of America's history --  through the reckless act of demolishing every politically incorrect statue in town.  Unfortunately -- those few, those proud, were ambushed by two violent groups who were determined to ruin and fully corrupt the day....which they did.

so, that's as far as we'll go with the transcript, as the presser finishes with a chorus of crickets and crosstalk; thank you, McClatchyDC for graciously providing the link for the take.

 ONE MORE THING -- 

 and continuing on a theme, 

we might as well call this section "no man's land"

Let it be known that upon this day -- the sixteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord 2017 --  

Big Business  (all the president's men providing special counsel) ----- are just a bunch of pussies with weenies.  There... I said it.  

YOU'RE all that weak?  really?  Is it just that favorable these days to be on any other side but Trump's?

There was nothing wrong with Trump's first response.   

There was nothing wrong with Trump's second response.

And his third response -- answering to the fire and fury, of what amounts to automatic weaponry, at the hands of a mad press (with a few very fine ones, indeed) -- was nothing other than stellar.  And yet, here we are -- The Donald stands nearly alone.

Suffice it to say, there are now three sides to every story.  The Left, The Right,  and The Donald's.  

Or is it the wrong, the right and the Donald's?  

And what's up with the latest news on WHO IS jason kessler -- the organizer of the event??  Let's go to the Southern Poverty Law Center for more on the Occupy Wall Street protester and Obama supporter.

Or is it more correct to say that the truth of any story is somewhere unseen to the naked eye, at first, and only unearthed once the individual bias is revealed, and thus making way for the buried facts to come back to life.  A soft brush will surely shake off the dirt with careful consideration and time.

What do you think Fake News?  No, really, 'let's go' as they say....

The thing is, the president was more than fair, and surprisingly measured, through the entire media melee -- and it was a melee.  It was a melee.

Sadly, it has become politically correct to rip a sitting president apart, limb by limb, word by word -- even to the extent of making a firestorm from a falsehood....SEE HERE.  Thank you, Politico.

I hate the press; wait, can I say that out loud anymore?

THIS reality,  in the realm of the distribution of fake news,  should be making all Americans squirm; realizing that the PRESS Corps has taken sides, and are so disrespectful to boot, reveals a very bad state of affairs; also realizing that the Left's goal is really not about what makes them uncomfortable at all, says it all. 

Trump is being eaten alive by wolves every single day; all sides seem to find a piece of him with shameless delight.

The Left's villainous goals are right out of Rules for Radicals, and as such,  they will not stop until they take out ALL opposition  -- conservatives, the Christian right, the pro-lifer's, the republicans as a whole, even the innocent, very fine, and peaceful Americans who simply wanted to show support of  keeping our history -- the good the bad and the ugly -- front and center in the town square, lest we ever forget the truth of our sordid past.

The UNITED States has not a chance of survival if we continue to separate by the identity politics that the Left perpetuates and preaches, to the point of stifling any alternative opinion or ideology outside their own....and sadly, to the extent of erasing all evidence of America's painful, almost unbearable, past.

WE MUST COME TOGETHER, people.  All of the very fine people of this great land must come together.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's a Fight for Harmony Thing

Dear America,

-- harmony -- 

by definition, is

"the combination of simultaneously 

sounded musical notes

 to produce chords and chord progressions 

having a pleasing effect."

this little tidbit of inspiration on the day comes courtesy of the Kerry Shook Ministry, as seen on TV just this past Sunday afternoon; Shook began his message, defining harmony, just before redirecting a string of relationship advice to couples experiencing conflict.  His point -- for harmony to actually happen,  each individual note must struggle, even fight, for it's voice to be heard and then blended into the whole.   It is through these subtle and not so subtle differences that we carry a tune, and, hopefully, make beautiful music -- whether we are talking a combination of two, or twenty two, or twenty million.  True harmony sings praises of our differences!

Isn't that something!

And this also calls to mind one of my favorite Coca-Cola commercials of all time...when in the seventies they had a cornucopia of humanity standing side by side, singing..."I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony..." 

love love love

It would seem the world has forgotten how to do it -- you know, harmonize around our differences with a modicum of mutual respect and maybe, if we are really lucky, even a little bit of love.

Case in point on the day: THIS, featured on www.fortune.com. just yesterday.

Because it's so uber cool to hate Trump, this man-made plummeting of America's Global Image has now gone politically correct worldwide.  Oh color me surprised.

And now, how about we pause for a good chuckle, as also duly noted in the post comes this:

"Both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, with confidence ratings of 27% and 28% respectively, scored higher than Trump [22%]. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with a confidence rating of 42%, scored highest among the four leaders in the survey."

So out of the 40,447 people polled  -- there is more confidence in either Putin and Xi to "do the right thing in world affairs" than in the guy elected by the American people, fair and square, to be the leader of the free world?  Seriously?  In an age immediately following the discovery of Putin allegedly interfering with an American election and a conniving President Obama doing nothing about it?  And a couple of communists -- representing countries guilty of human rights atrocities for centuries -- get a higher vote of confidence than the American businessman turned president, political lightening rod?  Really?

Where is the world wide contempt for Putin?

Surely, Trump knew his presidency would be met with some discord, but this is ridiculous.

ridiculous.

As The Left continues to harmonize only among themselves -- gathering up it's fair share of global governance comrades, college snowflakes, radical militants, and un-peaceful protestors large and small; and what remains to be seen is their complete inability to co-exist with any person, place or thing singing a different tune.  They don't want harmony one iota; if what you think or believe doesn't jive with the leftist and progressive agenda then they will simply aim to yell over you for as long as it takes, and with all hope, ultimately stomp you completely off the stage.

And heaven forbid we, the people, dare ask or even require complete assimilation into one American culture  -- e pluribus unum -- speaking one language, playing multiple instruments of various talents, appearing at a myriad of venues from sea to shining sea, and complete with each individual soul bearing it all, in duty and delight, with a certain reverence to the nation's foundation of God, Country and Family in perfect harmony.

It's a disgrace, really.

Much of the blame can be thrown directly into the direction of the conductor -- the mainstream media.  For shame, for shame.  The power to twist the truth, or forgo the truth altogether, has been turned into a modern day opera of ill repute.  The mad men and women who make up the leftist dominated journalists (80/20 ratio) are the true obstructionists, the collaborators perpetuating the on-going crime that defies their own profession while putting all Americans at risk and into harm's way.

If it's a fact that the country is split pretty much down the middle 50/50 upon leaning left or right, one just has to wonder, do these leftists really know us, their audience, at all?  What is to be gained by dismissing, drowning out, an entire half of the total supply -- half the chords are being silenced!  Where is the harmony in that?

For more on that view -- go here, to IMPRIMIS, as Michael Goodwin let's it rip.

Here's a really good part:

"Free speech is under assault, most obviously on many college campuses, but also in the news media, which presents a conformist view to its audience and gets a politically segregated audience in return. Look at the letters section in The New York Times—virtually every reader who writes in agrees with the opinions of the paper. This isn’t a miracle; it’s a bubble. Liberals used to love to say, “I don’t agree with your opinion, but I would fight to the death for your right to express it.” You don’t hear that anymore from the Left. Now they want to shut you up if you don’t agree. And they are having some success."

Oh to have that kind of mutual respect......and to simply agree to disagree; and then, taking it but one octave higher, in equal portion, "fight to the death for your right to express it."

Oh hallelujah, alleluia

and can I get an amen...

When coupled in a relationship, it is totally unrealistic to expect to agree on everything, let alone believe your partner is responsible to fulfill your every need; that would be what we call immature.  

And besides, where's the real harmony if one person in the relationship just gives in all the time, laying themselves down like a doormat over and over again, denying how they really feel, and leading to a situation where one day they simply walk away flat out broken?

So taking this idea large scale, just how in the world did America get here?

When did it become popular to shout down dissent?
When did it become cool to shut out opposing views?
When did it become uber-worldly by the uber wealthy elitists to decry and attack a sitting and standing and tweeting American president?  macron, anyone    or    merkel, anyone

The thing is, when it comes to all this disdain against President Trump --  what the world, these 40,447 people polled, and leftists don't understand, is that REAL Americans voted for him, in the same manner as real Americans voted for Obama, and every other president, to date.  And if this is an accurate assessment of the amount of hate of one man, in turn, it quickly becomes an accurate assessment of the measure of contempt against half the country.  That's a whole lot of hate.

It's a whole lot of immaturity.
It's a whole lot of unrealistic expectations.
It's a whole lot of selfishness without any concern of the needs of the other half.

Where is the harmony, if the clear and distinct note of tolerance -- one highlighting our differences in a manner that lifts co-existence to a tenor of no return -- is no longer sanctified in society?  If only a hundred years ago we were at war against Germany, is it all that inconceivable to arrive at an age warranting another civil war?  It's just a question.  How far will this obsession of obstruction and oppression, at the hands of The Left, go?

Whatever.  Bring it.  I am not afraid to fight like an American Girl....I will fight to the death for your right and mine, to speak and to sing as freedom rings.

and didn't really want to end on this note, 
but that's just where the music stops.

God bless America.

Make it a Good Day, G

Dear America,

Happy Tuesday


you know what I believe Fox News teaches us -- that if we are to have a real conversation, if we are to ever get to the bottom of the "sensible center"...as President Obama described it in his interview with Bill O'Reilly...and get to the yummy goodness found only in the middle... in order to solve our nation's problems... to reach a compromise on more serious issues that directly effect our ability to 'win the future' -- then we need to look no further than Fox News. 

And if you actually watch Fox News on a regular basis, with an open mind that is, you would know exactly what I'm talking about.

ONLY Fox News brings fair and balanced reporting on both sides of the issue every day;
ONLY Fox News welcomes panels from all over the political dial every day;
ONLY Fox News delves into both the conservative and the liberal view every day; and deep down, even Obama agrees with that observation, and more importantly, "respects" Fox for what it brings to the media round table...everyday.

There was a total misfire moment with the liberal media, being so set in their ways, coming to the interview pre-judging it already, entirely missing things practically spelled out for them; after pounding O'Reilly since Sunday, accusing him of being disrespectful to the president, mostly stemming from his line of questioning as to how much some people hate him; his follow up, with additional footage intact, on the O'Reilly Factor was brilliant, really.

...it was as if he just let them  walk right into it...knowing full well that he, himself, had thoroughly dotted the I's and crossed the T's, in step with the back story, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

For the truth is, even as he carefully prefaced the question to the president right up front, admitting to the president and to the audience, on the spot, that he asked the very same thing to President Bush only a couple of months back...go back, listen for yourself again, or read the transcript here... his questioning was fair and balanced all the way.

While in typical polarizing fashion, the left immediately wanted to find a winner and a loser.

It's an interview!  Why does there have to be this gotcha moment?  And to get a visual on this crazy concept, Bill O'Reilly is certainly, and by far, and in more ways than two, no Katie Couric.

Now, the thing is, you would have to be living under a rock to be oblivious to the amount of hate manufactured here in America on a daily basis -- under a rock, I tell you -- no, make that a boulder.

Pick out ANY article, of ANY political view, and you get a string of comments venting to the nth degree showing absolutely no regard for human decency, no filter for poor taste, making all of us look bad.  With the amount of hate spewed on a minute by minute basis in this country and around the globe, no wonder we can almost operate totally immune to it by now. and isn't THAT a sad, sad thing to behold...

Half the time, I think to myself, does your mother know you talk like that?  Or... how would you like it if someone said that about you?  Or...do you kiss your dog with that mouth?  Because it is gnarly stuff.  I read the comments and think, oh my gosh, we're toast, burnt  $&%*ing toast.

Talk about absolutely no checks and balances!  We are ripe with atrocities of common man decency in the every day, lost apparently, to the new age of anonymity -- woohoo, let the fur fly, America -- power to the people!

Step back, please.

Take a breath, please.

Just because there is plenty of room -- wide open spaces actually --  to display our deep seated ideological differences, it doesn't mean we should, I mean, like that anyway; sure, we are all card carrying members of an elite group, bestowing upon us the very freedom giving each and every one of us creative license to simply sound off  and treat each other like $@*&! if we want to -- but do we really want to be that kind of country?

We've never made it customary to act like this before -- that is, and get away with it -- so why do we allow ourselves to sink to this new kind of low now?

I tend to believe that most conservatives, and independents, and good decent liberals, share this view with me.  I tend to believe, and trust, that most of us do not get caught up with this kind of hyper-vitriolic tit for tat.

I tend to believe, that those who do this -- you know, comment in free abandon -- usually misspelling simple words, throwing in choice urban phrases of attack, coloring their views with four letter descriptions, and labeling anyone of another political view as simply &^#*%*#&(^(@$(@%&@%, and having no real facts to back it up, oh, and acting as if they are all that, anonymously guarded under some strange disguised persona... that within a blink of an eye,  it transparently tells us everything we need to know without having to read a anything  more -- you know, those people -- I tend to believe it couldn't be any more than the bottom 2%.

For who, in their right mind, would act like that, talk like that, and actually think they garnered any great respect after it?

Not in this America.

And yet, $#@* happens.


What has become totally acceptable to the general public is attacking conservatives -- especially people like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann -- with no regard for decency or holding back whatsoever.

While it has become widely known that oh, my goodness, that Fox News, seems to be the only station displaying any opposition to the liberal view -- all mainstream media, all other cable news outlets, all of them, collectively gravitate and glorify the view that is only seen by the left eye, never the right, while some go so far as chastising the conservative opinion as being somewhat less than human.

really?
when the overwhelming majority of this country (63% and rising) swing right of center more often than not? really?
you really wanna go there?

A constant and verifiable source for where we stand in the nations polling can easily be found at http://www.rasmussenreports.com.

But switching gears for a bit,
Joining with the ranks of world leaders, like Angela Merkel, we have news coming out of the meetings in Germany that show surprising changes to the western world's political correctness coming up on the horizon:

"We have even tolerated these segregated communities behaving in ways that run counter to our values. So when a white person holds objectionable views – racism, for example – we rightly condemn them. But when equally unacceptable views or practices have come from someone who isn’t white, we’ve been too cautious, frankly even fearful, to stand up to them,"

  David Cameron

In so many ways, we have grown tolerant to unacceptable behavior -- why is that?   What does that say about the whole?

Perhaps if we could each be responsible for our own civility, the world would truly change overnight; even if it is in small ways, when we add them all together -- when we paint by the numbers and stay within the lines -- eventually we create a work of art, not a piece of overpriced meaningless #&*%...right?

Reading the nation's comments on a daily basis could make anyone dizzy, and sick to their stomach  -- no longer does it agree with who we are as a nation, and what we are supposed to stand for and live up to.

Truth is, we are so much better than the pee brains who respond in knee jerk reaction -- even if those people include those we normally trust as respected journalists, award winning authors, long time political pundits, historians, and even sometimes out of the mouth of someone who should always act presidential in every way...

...remembering a few metaphorical remarks from Obama over the last two years,  advocating things like "we don't mind Republicans joining us, they can come for a ride, but they gotta sit in the back [is that, in the back of a bus, mr. president? you should know better than to say something like that]",


or how about this one, "After they drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want the keys back. No! You can't drive. We don't want to have to go back into the ditch. We just got the car out."


or how about this one,“We’ve got our mops and our brooms out here, and were cleaning stuff out and they’re sitting there saying, ‘Hold the broom better; that’s not how you mop.’ Don’t tell me how to mop! Pick up a mop! Do some work on behalf of the American people to solve some of these problems.’’ 


or how about this one, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” this is exactly what Obama said while attending a fundraiser in Philadelphia in 2008...adding, “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

good stuff.

Now, when you actually get the president talking to anyone outside of  'his base' -- you get something more tolerable, almost polite, and sounding more like something like this.

That was a about a year ago -- it was right after these remarks addressing the representatives of the GOP, when the nation, and the president, morphed into campaign mode -- when he quickly began throwing out much of his heartwarming and sincere sentiment right out the Greyhound rear window, only to bounce off the Chrysler front bumper, and wind up harpooned and shellacked after the mid-term elections.

You know, the president laughed a lot [over the entire interview with Bill]...

Which is kinda funny, as anytime we are faced with a question we are afraid to answer, or want to avoid answering at all costs, we tend to laugh, uncomfortable with being put on the spot.  Couldn't help but notice how much O'Reilly got that kind of first chuckle reaction -- and at one point,  he even had to say to the president, "no, I mean, it's a serious question."

Over half of American public does not like the policies of the Obama Administration -- some people, as a matter of record, might actually hate.

And  we will agree, to disagree, with that all the live long day.
And when we do, it should be coming from a place not only found nestled in the deep of our best intentions, but it very well should come rushing in with what's seemingly on the blind side of the merits and nothing else.

What anonymous commentators must realize after all, once you lower yourself to the makings of your argument coming from a) character assassination  b) generalities solely based upon race, culture or religion or c) include improper, uncivil, rude, malicious, provocative language merely to huff & puff  -- you immediately lose whatever audience you think you had.

The thing is, I just can't understand how it is possible, in this day and age, to give these kind of bottom feeders any kind of credibility, let alone take the time to read what it is they have to say. I would say it is truly CO2 run amuk -- begging the final question, just where is the climate change police when we need them most? -- but in reality, they really aren't opening their mouths, are they -- whoever thought a little thing like a keyboard could be a saving grace (and having said that, it's not like I believe in CO2 being a crazy pollutant either).

Make it a Good Day, G

Steelers Wheel is playing on GTV -- 
if you will, dance with me stuck in the middle with you...just a click away on Dear America...
