Readers react to Trump’s inauguration

New Sheriff in town

Since President Obama was elected eight years ago, the liberal media has become the media mafia, with Obama as the anti-American godfather. Fortunately for United States, there’s Fox News and a new sheriff in town named Donald Trump -- and his all-American posse.

Donald Trump was just sworn-in as the 45th President of the United States. He will be working tirelessly to give America back to the people who will govern themselves as a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Ruinous rule by former president Obama and the liberal elite is over. President Trump, his administrative posse and the Republican Congress will protect and defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Indeed, there is a new Sheriff in town, backed by our Constitution. America will be reformed, recover, prosper and be great again for all of us….

President Obama’s last days of chaos

President Obama and his administration have made it painfully clear that his last days in office will be consumed by attacking President-Elect Donald Trump, and doing as much more damage to America as he can – along with hateful liberal Democrats in Congress -- leaving a legacy of social, political, economic, anger, division and chaos with our domestic and national security.

Indeed, Mr. Obama’s legacy will be replete with an explosion of serious crimes committed by blacks and Hispanics, enormous increases of blacks in movies, television series, commercials and the overall entertainment industry with an emphasis on black lives and open borders as the only things that matter – regardless of the deaths and damages inflicted on society.

Worse, the outgoing president will be responsible for the proliferation of ISIS and terrorism in America and throughout the world – the Florida airport ISIS assassinations, Orlando police officer assassination, the Chicago murder rate, and the vicious racial hate crimes against a mentally disabled white male by four black males and females being the latest cases of hate and violence.

And he says he will remain in Washington to keep up what has become his reckless and ruinous work against America -- with his former attorney general, Eric Holder taking up the defense of California’s un-American activities – as the painful beat goes on and on – liberal press included…. Thankfully, our new president, Twitter Trump will be in office soon – hopefully, backed by a Republican Congress with guts!

John Kerry: Un-American

Secretary of State John Kerry proved that he is un-American by his stance against Israel in the United Nations move to condemn Israel’s settlements wherein President Obama’s administration abstained from the vote. Of course, this is nothing new for Kerry or Obama since they are both anti-American.

Indeed, John Kerry demonstrated being anti-American when, as a member of the U.S. military, he came out against the Viet Nam war testifying against America before Congress. Since then, he became a U.S. Senator, married a wealthy business woman and continued undermining America.

Worse, Kerry stands with President Obama’s insidious legacy – with a Democrat Congress -- of war against America’s military, economy, healthcare, police, domestic security -- and national security -- by proliferating the rise of radical Islamic terrorism against America and the world.

Fortunately, the American people fought back and elected Donald Trump as the next president. Alas, with President Trump and a Republican Congress, we will survive, recover, be strong and prosper again with true freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Obama and Brown’s spite

President Obama has commuted 178 felony prisoners’ sentences, and California Gov. Jerry Brown has commuted one felon’s sentence and pardoned a total of 1,258 felony prisoners in spiteful acts against the public’s interests and safety – striking dangerous blows against our domestic security.

Coupled with AB 109 and Proposition 47, Brown has released thousands of felons to prey upon the people of California.

Even worse, President Obama failed to veto a bad U.N. resolution to spite Israel, while Governor Brown continues to bolster sanctuary cities throughout the state, further endangering our national security against terrorism.

Indeed, the only thing Mr. Obama has left to do against America is to empty Guantanamo and pardon Bergdahl, Manning, and Snowden to secure his destructive legacy against America and the world – not mention doubling the national debt -- while none dare call it treason.

President Obama’s damage

President Obama is bent on doing as much damage to America as he can before leaving office. Indeed, his latest edicts, commutations and pardons are designed to inflict as much damage as possible to the oil industry and America’s domestic security.

Coupled with eight years of relentless attacks against America’s coal, oil and gas energy resources, releasing criminal predators upon the public, and his war against America’s police, he has recklessly inflicted untold damage against our society, our economy and our safety.

Worse, Mr. Obama has intentionally allowed open borders and sanctuary cities and marijuana to flourish, subjecting our people to increased gangs, crime, drugs, murder and the infection of our children without remorse.

Even worse, President Obama has inflicted deadly damage on our national security by blatantly allowing the proliferation of ISIS against the Middle East, America and the world by unleashing relentless attacks against Christians and humanity.

Alas, Obama’s last act of defiance will likely be to empty Guantanamo and to pardon blatant traitors Bergdahl, Manning and Snowden.

President Obama’s press conference

President Obama’s last press conference was obviously rigged with predetermined questions from the White House (Pravda) Press Corps. All Mr. Obama wanted to talk about was his feigned accomplishments, which were done despite his abuse of power and deceit.

And his press complied with questions about Russia hacking the election, helping Syrian refugees and criticizing President-elect Trump in disguise. Too much for one reporter who fainted.

Indeed, there were no questions or answers about national and domestic security to wit: the deadly world plague of ISIS terrorism, or the American plague of crime and drugs, all created and highly intensified by President Obama’s gross failures.

Bergdahl pardon?

I believe deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who asked President Obama for a pardon, will in fact be pardoned by President Obama on his last day in office. Indeed it will be a national security travesty to pardon a traitor, as it was a far worse act of treason to trade five Taliban terrorist leaders for Bergdahl’s release. Surely, considering President Obama is responsible for the proliferation of ISIS and terrorism in the world, he will have been the enemy within during his eight years in office.

California vs. America

State’s rights is one thing, however California leaving the union is not idle talk. Indeed, the once golden state has been turned into a dictatorial state with a socialist Democrat governor and supermajority legislature rejecting the U.S. Constitution and federal law – which for all intents and purposes means that it has been a separate nation for a long time – increasingly abusing most of our citizens with punishing taxes and regulations, and a relentless invasion of illegal immigrants, exposing us to an increasing epidemic of crime.

As for the remainder of America, Socialist Democrat President/King Barrack Obama has done nearly the same thing as California has done in just under 8 years to the other 49 states. Indeed, the first black president has gone to the extremes of making African-Americans superior to all other races, dominating everything with about 14 percent of the population – believing all others are inferior racists.

Indeed, our nation has yet to suffer the full consequences of Mr. Obama’s insidious superiority complex reign, which would have been even worse with the insidious superiority complex of the first woman president, Hillary Clinton. Thank God, hopefully, President-elect Donald Trump’s “Make America great again’ complex and a Republican Congress will save us, our national/domestic security and the country.

Petraeus to the position as a national security warrior secretary of state against ISIS, Syria, Russia and Iran, and pick former New York Mayor Rudolph W.

Stein/Clinton insult voters

It is bad enough that Hillary Clinton sent her supporters on a devious mission to intimidate Donald Trump electors into changing their votes to Clinton.

Now Clinton’s failed Green Party candidate, Jill Stein has launched a recount campaign to topple Donald Trump’s election in the key states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, which is undoubtedly at Hillary Clinton’s direction and will be joined by Clinton’s supporters.

Surely, bitter Hillary Clinton refuses to accept the decision of Trumps electors and voters, even though she said that the only reason she relented and conceded the election was at the urging of President Obama.

All the more reasons that Donald Trump is saving America from Obama’s ruinous record and an ultra-dangerous election of Clinton. Indeed, January 20th, 2017 can’t come soon enough for America to reform, recover and prosper.

Calls for a vote recount are just plain desperate

It is bad enough that Hillary Clinton sent her supporters on a mission to intimidate President-elect Donald Trump electors into changing their votes for her, now Jill Stein (the Green Party’s presidential candidate) has launched a vote recount campaign in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. This was probably a direction from Clinton to topple Trump’s election, which will surely be supported by her followers.

It looks like Clinton refuses to accept the decision of Trump’s electors and voters, since it’s reported that she conceded the election only after receiving a call from President Obama urging her to do so.

From Obama to Trump

During the Clinton-caused economic meltdown and presidential election of 2008, the Democrat Party, and the insidious media, Hollywood and Academia cartel seized on the politically correct opportunity to elect Senator Barrack Obama as the first black president of the United States.

Of course, the cartel knew that President Obama would lead into the two-term tyrannies of overwhelming government together with the first term Democrat Congress establishing forced national health care, the wars on coal energy and finance industry, and unconstitutional wars against small business and hardworking Americans.

Worse, the second term was replete with a war against the police, surrendering the war against terrorism in the Middle East causing the rise of ISIS, terrorist attacks here and around the world, and his deadly deal with nuclear Iran.

Fortunately, the arrogant and un-American cartel failed to elect evil Hillary Clinton as the first woman president.

Indeed, real American states and voters rejected the cartel and the deeply corrupted Clintons, elected the Donald Trump, Mike Pence team, and retained the Republican Congress to bring back America from the edge of social, political and economic ruin. Clearly, there is hope to rebuild and to restore our national and domestic security.

And, to increase our efforts to make America great again – the way we once were, before the Democrats turned to the ruinous socialist devil….

Hispanic, radical left anarchy

The core of anarchy, demonstrations, riots and violence against president elect, Donald Trump rests with Hispanics, mostly students and illegals.

Obviously, the anarchy has expanded throughout the country. Most disturbing is the organized Hispanic anarchy in Los Angeles, led by Union Del Barrio furthering the aggression of La Raza, which is intent on taking back California, New Mexico, Texas and the West, taken from Mexico by the Mexican American War.

Indeed, other groups carrying large Mexican flags, they express hatred for the (imperialism) of the U.S. government, including the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton, and of course Donald Trump. Del Barrio organized the current demonstrations in Los Angeles, including the violence.

Considering the vast numbers of Hispanic illegals in America, liberal sanctuary cities, and the fragmented enforcement of the border and ICE, this post presidential election has become a real and present danger to America and our people. Decisive action to preserve national and domestic security is vital.

Worse, anti-American George Soros and his wild Democrat billionaire donor bunch are financing the radical left’s anarchy, dangerously exacerbated by the liberal media.

Coupled with California’s liberal Democrat government turning a blind eye to the release of criminal illegals from prison, refusing to cooperate with U.S. immigration laws, the legalization of marijuana, punishing taxation against tobacco smokers, the enormous cost if miseducation, and war of treacherous teacher unions’ war against non-union charter schools, California taxpayers and the people lose.

Election determines whether destruction continues

Since the election of President Obama, our democratic republic has come increasingly under attack by the liberal media and the politically powerful -- so much so, that we are in eminent danger of losing our national security and our democracy to the evils of socialism.

Though the Republican Party has the majority in Congress, it has been gutted and weakened by wrath of the previous Democrat Party majority of Mr. Obama’s first term and that contingent’s tyrannical legislation. This has left our country mortally wounded. Mr. Obama’s second term has been replete with edicts and executive orders, pouring salt in the wounds and seriously dividing the nation.

If corrupt and criminal Hillary and Bill Clinton are elected co-presidents under the fraud of intimidation and political correctness, we are in danger of continuing the downward spiral. With little hope, the only thing standing in the way of overwhelming socialist power is Republican candidate and freedom fighter Donald Trump. God help us if he and we don’t win.

Hopefully, five days from now, we can begin the delivery and recovery of our Constitution, democracy and freedom from evil.

Campaign chaos

Local, state and federal campaign chaos, exacerbated by biased television news and the press, abounds throughout the nation in this presidential election year like no other.

Indeed, Hillary Clinton has lied, cheated and personally profited throughout her political life bound to be the first woman president, supported by President Obama in his legacy to divide and weaken the nation. He is currently supporting Kamala Harris over the more experienced Loretta Sanchez for California U.S. senator in a racial move, and he is placing Syrian refugees throughout the country without notifying local governments.

In a local San Bernardino County, California campaign for county supervisor, scurrilous Victorville City candidate Angela Valles is attempting to unseat a very competent incumbent, Robert Lovingood by being dishonest and hateful. Surely, Valles is more qualified to work for corrupt Hillary Clinton.

Alas, it’s time to take America back with a president Donald Trump, a Republican California U.S. senator, keep Supervisor Lovingood, and send the 23 Syrian refugees planted in Victorville by Mr. Obama back where they came from -- and end the chaos.

Irresponsible liberal media

President Bush attempted to put a stop to the results, but Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and others stood in his way. Certainly, President Obama has exacerbated the insidious problem, which is leading to another, probably worse, housing and financial collapse.

Slamming Donald Trump comes as no surprise from the liberal media, but when they blindly endorse Hillary Clinton with her history of malfeasance, abuse of power and corruption, that hurts America and the people.

Indeed, the Los Angeles Times front page article, “Scope of Trump’s lies unmatched,” and their lengthy half page, “An easy decision: Hillary for president,” editorial endorsement overlooks Clinton’s devious and unlawful conflicts of interests record, that’s irresponsible free press.

Clearly, all the dominant liberal media follows suit with extreme political bias, and all have ignored the fact that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for the 2008 housing and financial meltdown caused, not by Wall Street, but by Clinton’s administration forcing banks and mortgage lenders to give unaffordable home loans to unqualified home buyers.

In the first Hillary Clinton – Donald Trump debate, each candidate displayed the roots of their character. Donald Trump was brash and to the point, and Hillary Clinton was condescending and arrogant.

The main different between them is that Trump is a very successful businessman, and Hillary Clinton is a slick politician with a history of political corruption, abuse of power and extreme greed.

In terms of their goals, Trump wants to save America and make it great again. Clinton expects a coronation as the first woman president and to rule as queen of America down the road to ruin.

What was missing from the debate, was the fact that Clinton and Obama are responsible for the proliferation of ISIS, nuclear weapons and Russian aggression, and that Bill Clinton is responsible for the 2008 housing and financial collapse.

Trump must save us from Clinton

Slamming Donald Trump is nothing new for the liberal media, but when it blindly endorse Hillary Clinton. who has a history of malfeasance, abuse of power and corruption, they hurt America and the people.

Indeed, the Los Angeles Times front page article, “Scope of Trump’s lies unmatched,” and their lengthy half page, “An easy decision: Hillary for president,” editorial endorsement overlooks Clinton’s devious and unlawful conflicts of interests, that’s irresponsible free press.

Clearly, all the dominant liberal media follows suit with extreme political bias, and all have ignored the fact that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for the 2008 housing and financial meltdown. That’s right -- it was caused, not by Wall Street, but by Clinton’s administration forcing banks and mortgage lenders to give unaffordable home loans to unqualified home buyers.

President George W. Bush attempted to put a stop to the results, but congressmen Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and others stood in his way. Certainly, President Obama has exacerbated the insidious problem, which is leading to another, probably worse, housing and financial collapse.

America must have relief from all this and the expansion of world terrorism caused by Mr. Obama and Mrs. Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump and a strong Republican Congress are our only hope.

Wrecking crew against America

President Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and Governor Brown are the primary wrecking crew against America, as follows:

President Obama has damaged the freedoms of Americans with the reckless, unconstitutional actions against our economy, our energy resources, our national security and our domestic security with executive orders and edicts, wars against coal and oil, finance, healthcare, the police – diminishing our border security, military defenses, allowing the proliferation of ISIS terrorism – releasing criminals to prey on the people, and imposing punishing regulations and taxes.

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton participated in the proliferation of ISIS terrorism, and used and abused her office for the Clinton Foundation and personal gain. As a candidate for president, she intends to assign the economy to her former president husband, Bill Clinton, who is directly responsible for the 2008 economic collapse, by forcing banks and mortgage lenders to give unaffordable home loans to unqualified buyers in mass.

California Governor Jerry Brown is a major player in the wrecking crew against California and America with economy-busting, punishing taxation, regulations, bullet train and water tunnel bond scams, $billions in the miseducation of students, high energy costs, releasing criminals to prey on Californians, lack of border security, support of sanctuary cities, and threats to our national and domestic security.

Indeed, the unconscionable Democrat Party and the liberal press covers for the un-American trio and all who support continued attacks against the people. Attention voters: wise up and don’t commit voter-assisted suicide by electing or re-electing more of the same poison to our freedom and liberty.

Alas, that they’re doing is tantamount to treason….

The economic collapse bomb

Before it’s too late, Donald Trump should drop the 2008 economic collapse bomb on Bill Clinton for causing it.

Indeed, Clinton caused the meltdown by using HUD’s Andrew Cuomo and AG Janet Reno to intimidate banks and mortgage lenders to provide unaffordable home loans to unqualified buyers, mainly African Americans, who defaulted on their loans in mass.

Wall Street did not cause the collapse, they simply attempted to survive Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Macs compliance with Clinton’s mandate by bundling good and bad loans.

Bill Clinton was the risk-taking presidential bad guy in the 2008 crash, not George W. Bush. He tried to stop it, but Barney Frank and Chris Dodd stood in his way. Worse, If elected, Hillary Clinton intends to put Bill in charge of the economy.

The insidious liberal media has ignored the truth and has been protecting him all this time. And the conservative media has dropped the ball. It’s past time for voters to know it, and hold Clinton and the media responsible for the damage to the economy and America.

But wait, it’s not over. Eight years of President Obama has America on crash course for and even worse economic train wreck….

Liberal media cartel vs. Donald Trump

The worst enemies to America’s constitutionals freedoms are President Obama, Hillary Clinton, congressional Democrats and the liberal media cartel that supports them. Indeed, under the Obama administration, our social, political, economic, domestic and national security are at all-time lows.

Clearly, the liberal media has abdicated their freedom of the press responsibilities for fair and objective reporting. Instead they have chosen a path similar to Russia’s state media, Pravda under the direction of overbearing government that violates the people’s freedoms, and attacks any resistance.

Surely, the only way America’s future can be protected against intrusive, domineering government, and a world wrought with terrorism will be to reject a continued Obama regime with Hillary Clinton, elect Republican Donald Trump president and increase Republican majorities in the House and Senate.

And the only way that will happen is if voters wise-up to the media cartel’s relentless attacks against Donald Trump and reject Hillary Clinton’s history of corruption. Otherwise, the 2016 presidential election will result in voter-assisted suicide.

President Obama’s carefully articulated sermon at the memorial for the 5 assassinated Dallas police officers was nothing more than a veiled attempt to justify his underlying contempt for law enforcement -- our first line of defense -- the rule of law and America.

Considering President Obama’s divisive history with race relations, and his hateful war against the police, at this point, it’s gone too far. Indeed, he must pull back the militant Black Lives Matter movement for the good of the nation before it’s too late.

Trump made right choice with Pence

Donald Trump made a good choice of Mike Pence as his VP running mate. When he wins the election, he should choose Newt Gingrich as his chief of staff, Chris Christie as Attorney General, Rudy Giuliani as director of Homeland Security, Lt, Gen. Michael Flynn as Secretary of Defense, and Ben Carson as Surgeon General director of HHS for a good start.

However, it should be noted that Hillary Clinton calling Mike Pence the most extremist VP choice in a generation, and the Democrat national media nitpicking Trump’s wife for plagiarizing Obama’s wife’s comments at their nominating conventions, is as politically stupid and low as you can get.

Indeed, there is no comparison between true American conservative Pence and Hillary’s potential VP un-American choice of Communist Elizabeth Warren. And surely, valuing your parents moral advice is meaningful. The difference is, Trump’s wife meant it. Obama’s wife did not.

California Attorney General Kamala Harris is a political opportunist.

Her recent announcement to investigate the contemptable incompetence of San Bernardino County’s Children and Family Services, responsible for the child abuse, torturing and killing of children, is too little and very late in coming.

Indeed, the only reason Harris is taking action now, is to further her campaign to replace Barbara Boxer as U.S. Senator for California.

Question is, where was the Attorney General over a year ago when a Channel 11 Fox News completed an investigation into the insidious situation over a year ago?

Surely, Harris’ misfeasance that contributed to the pain, suffering and death of innocent children is more than sufficient evidence that she is not fit to be Attorney General -- certainly not a U.S. Senator -- and that she should resign from office immediately.

Hillary Clinton, absolute power

Hillary Clinton’s insidious career is replete with an obsessive drive for absolute power, from her conflicts of interest power grabs as first lady, to the Clinton Foundation, to running for president against Barrack Obama, to Obama’s Secretary of State, and her ultimate grab for absolute power as the first woman president of the United States.

Problem is, as Barrack Obama was the worst choice for the first black president of America – deeply damaging our country -- Hillary Clinton would be the worst choice for the first woman president – potentially damaging our country beyond repair and recovery.

Indeed, as it has always been known tyrants are developed on the premise that absolute power corrupts absolutely, Obama has proved the premise and now Clinton promises to join those absolutely destructive ranks.

Worse, President Obama has openly diminished our economy, domestic security and national security. Likewise, Hillary Clinton has unjustly enriched herself using her position of secretary of state, and she has criminally violated our national security with her personal emails.

Surely, the American people cannot be seduced into electing such a corrupt parasite. Particularly, when she intends to put her husband, Bill Clinton in charge of the economy. You know, the president Clinton who caused the economy to crash in 2008!

Bret Bair’s Fox News Special Report regarding America’s Rising Threat, Shrinking Military is a comprehensive dire warning about President Obama’s perilous national security legacy of causing the rise of violence and terrorism in the world, dangerously shrinking our military, and the rising of threats to America from, Russia, China and North Korea.

Indeed, because of President Obama’s long record of divisions -- attacking our society, our economy and our freedoms -- and his overall contempt for America, supported by the liberal media and Democrat Party, he has recklessly placed our country and our people in extreme debt and danger.

Culture warriors can save U.S.

As President Obama’s corrosive legacy continues to bulldoze the best interests of the American people, we are painfully reminded of just how insidious overwhelming government can be. It is not so different from the tyrannical government that inspired the American Revolution.

Indeed, Mr. Obama’s arrogant monarchial reign and reckless, narcissistic pursuit of a legacy has been bent on increasing government attacks on our social, political and economic freedoms with unconstitutional executive orders, taxes and regulations. Worse, Mr. Obama has been undermining our economic security with his “climate change” hoax and its wars on oil, coal and natural gas in favor of costly and unreliable solar and wind. This constitutes an overall attack on our economy and cost of living.

Even worse, President Obama has divided our nation, conducted a wars on the police and our domestic security, and critically compromised our national defense, military strength and readiness. His expanding romance with Communist nations – Russia, China, Cuba and Viet Nam -- is surpassed only by his record of allowing the unbridled growth of the Taliban, al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Our only hope after President Obama’s 8-year war on America, is to reject the continued socialism of Clinton/Sanders and elect conservatives to government. Otherwise we will be committing voter-assisted social, political and economic suicide.

Unfortunately, most of my state of California has long been in the forefront of socialism, with overbearing government attacking the people and business with punishing taxes and regulations, and allowing crime to flourish. Fortunately, there is an island of hope in most of San Bernardino and our Victor Valley high desert community. Here have solid conservatives both in office and running for office, which is comforting in a world fraught with fear and evil.

Hopefully, there are enough culture warriors remaining our country to overcome our enemies. This November, vote Trump and vote Republican.

Clinton’s economic record

In a recent campaign speech Hillary Clinton indicated that if elected president, her husband, Bill would assume large part of the presidential portfolio. She said that she would put him in charge of stimulating the economy because, “you know he knows how to do that.” Problem is, he knows how to do just the opposite.

Indeed, when Bill Clinton ran for president in 1992, he campaigned against George HW Bush’s economic recession, with the mantra, “It’s the economy, stupid.” When in reality, the economy was coming out of a natural recovery from a recession. So, it was a stupid political lie to get votes, of course.

Personal attacks aside, what really matters about the Clintons is what former president Bill Clinton did in his second term to cause the collapse of housing and finance by forcing banks and mortgage lenders to give home loans to unqualified buyers -- based upon his devious drive to do overcome “redlining” against black home buyers -- which expanded to national, unchecked mass of unqualified buyers and the real cause of the economic meltdown.

Clearly, Bill Clinton and his hit squad of AG, Janet Reno, HUD Director, Andrew Cuomo, and Fannie Mae chairman, Franklin Raines are totally responsible for the 2008 housing and finance bust, not President George W. Bush or Wall Street. Indeed, an economic bust which President Obama has exacerbated throughout his terms in office.

Alas, no one is talking about the real cause of the housing and financial crisis, especially the irresponsible, biased press. Clearly, if Hillary Clinton is elected, it would not only be economic suicide, it would be a Benghazi-style national security disaster.

Real wrongdoers not being punished

Former president Bill Clinton taking on Black Lives Matter about black on black crime, etc. is reminiscent of his romancing the middle during his presidency. For purely political reasons, and to get re-elected, he went along with the Contract with America Republican/Gingrich Congress in sentencing reform, welfare reform, etc. which were very successful.

However, the $5 billion housing mortgage settlement against Goldman Sachs as being part of the 2008 financial meltdown fails to recognize the real cause, What has been seriously neglected, is that Clinton forced the housing finance industry to give home loans to unqualified buyers (primarily blacks) who could not afford them. Therefore, Clinton caused the 2008 housing and financial collapse, not Wall Street.

Indeed, the constant call, backed by the liberal media, for executive heads to roll over the financial crisis is wrongheaded. Instead, there should be efforts to punish Bill Clinton, his then hit-team against banks and mortgage lenders, Attorney General Janet Reno, HUD Direct Andrew Cuomo, and Fannie Mae manipulator Franklin Raines should be punished. And, lest it’s forgotten, Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd for perpetuating the fraud.

President Bush attempted to stop the mortgage madness, but his efforts were derailed by Frank, Dodd and Democrats in Congress. Bush attempted to soften the financial blow with TARP and other measures. And, of course, newly-elected President Obama falsely blamed Bush and Wall Street for the costly Clinton/Democrat fiasco.

Alas, the tendency of liberal government and media to punish essentially innocent companies as wrongdoers when they are the real culprits is unconscionable, bad for the economy, bad for business, and worse, bad for the country and our people. President Obama simply perpetuated the recession, exacerbated by two terms of economic lies, abuse and doubling and nation debt.

President Obama’s speech at the Journalism awards ceremony, telling them that Journalists should hold (Republican) presidential candidates accountable for their actions and policy statements confirms his undue influence over the already liberal news media.

Indeed, President Obama speaks as the acting chairman of the liberal ( Putin-controlled Pravda light-like) news media in furthering his corrosive fundamental transformation of the United States America from a Democratic Republic to an authoritarian-style state. No accountability allowed.

Unfortunately, Mr. Obama began his life as one of the last members of the heavy-laden liberal element of the Boomer generation, who infected their children and the next generation in their hostile counter-cultural and political takeover of the safe conservative-American republic as it was founded.

Alas, the Clintons were the first of the Boomer generation, and Obama has been the last and end-all of an insidious revolution, which could end it all for our freedom. Particularly if Hillary Clinton becomes president as the power and greed commander-in-chief.

Propaganda vs. reality

Wow! It was a wingnut love fest today, March 24, for the Cranky Old White Men of Apple Valley. All three spewing their vitriol, intolerance, and ignorance on the same editorial page. I really did not read their letters all the way through, since their diatribes are as predictable and trite as all the others they have written. They are a template of the Repugnican (as in Repugnant) propaganda spewed daily by Fox News: President Obama is the worst person in the world who is destroying the USA single-handedly; ObamaCare is the worst government program in the world; all the world’s ills can be blamed on the liberals; Repugnicans good, Democrats evil.

The Crankies, you see, are members of the GOP — God’s Only People. Only they have the God-given right to rule America. Only their candidates should win. Only their opinions matter, since they possess superior knowledge over all of us who don’t agree with them. In other words, they possess no democratic instincts whatsoever. They are inerrant. It’s all about them. We who think differently than they do don’t matter.

I am guessing, though, that these three have it made. They never had is so good, but that doesn’t stop the gritching and groaning. They love their socialist programs, Social Security and Medicare, even though they paid in a lot less than they will receive. They live in the Fox News twilight zone of balanced government budgets, the end of welfare and food stamps, big concealed weapons and big, high walls on the border.

Boys, why don’t you go to the library and educate yourselves. The world doesn’t revolve around you. All the modern, progressive things we take for granted — Social Security, 40-hour work week, Medicare, family leave, ban on child labor, unemployment insurance, auto safety, etc. — sprang from liberal, progressive thinking. Your side of the political equation comes up with nothing except tax cuts for the rich, which have just worked wonders, haven’t they? Please take off your Fox News-colored glasses and experience reality.

Hesitant to lower myself to a writer’s level, I seldom, if ever, engage in personal debates with the left. However his personal attacks are beyond the pale.

His spiteful condescending diatribe against conservative letter-writers is painful evidence of his indoctrination as one of useful idiots of the far left, which is a clear and present danger to our society and America.

Surely, his scurrilous comments about “cranky old white men of Apple Valley” and the “GOP God’s Only People” are blatantly racist and bigoted -- unfortunately, expected from the hateful Left.

Supreme Court Injustice

By Daniel Jeffs

Democrats and the liberal news media never let up with their tyrannical intimidation of conservatives to further their insidious agenda against America and the traditional values of the Founders.

Indeed, the Supreme Court has become the focal point of what’s wrong with our society, under siege by socialists who are determined to undermine our Constitution and our founding principles.

Clearly, the leaders of the war against America are well-documented in our history, including what was supposed to be the chief safeguard of our Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States.

Surely, the brutal liberal lynching by Senate Judiciary Sen. Joe Biden against Supreme Court nominees Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas is clear and convincing evidence of authoritarian Democrats against the Constitution.

Certainly, Republican mistakes have been made in the appointments of Supreme Court Justices, John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O’Conner, Anthony Kennedy, and Chief Justice John Roberts – not to mention the drastic mistake of Chief Justice Earl Warren by President Eisenhower….

Of course, Democrat presidents Clinton and Obama have ensured the Court’s liberal agenda and indifference to Constitutional law with the appointments of justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

Alas, the latest grave injustice is being attempted by President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland, an Anthony Kennedy-like teetering centrist/socialist to replace the deeply troubling constitutional originalist vacancy left by deceased patriot Justice Antonin Scalia. Yet will still have patriot Justice Samuel Alito.

Sadly, that’s the authoritarian liberal way of President Obama’s terms of contempt for America, by simply ignoring and circumventing the Constitution. Supreme Court injustice, indeed, like the presidency and government, the Supreme Court problem is systemic. Absolute power in government and on the Court corrupts, absolutely.

We, the American people must correct it, for our survival….

Donald Trump destroying the Republican Party

Self-consumed commercial hustler Donald Trump has played upon conservative anger against the corrosive liberal Democrat Party establishment by running for president in the 2016 election, which handed the Democrats the opportunity to create the perfect storm against him and the Republican Party.

And the liberal Democrat cartel of government, news media and education are doing it. This is not politics as usual. It is in fact a looming calamity (an event that causes great harm and suffering) for America.

Unacceptable! Particularly in this era of domestic and national security peril. Vote for survival.

Greatest threat: Leftist ideology

Since the eras of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt, the insidious liberal Democrat ideology has tightened its iron grip on America by infecting our government, our schools, our news media and the entertainment industry. All of this has had an extensive influence over our society.

Indeed, if it were not for people who hold fast to conservative Republican and libertarian constitutional principles, freedoms, moral values and religion, our nation and our future would be lost forever to liberal indoctrination.

The 2016 presidential election run-up has been a brutal display of the battle between good and evil, exacerbated by two terms of the insidious Obama administration, starring Republican Donald Trump, and Democrats Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

Unfortunately, pathological narcissist billionaire Donald Trump is a political anomaly, a gift to Democrats intent on destroying the Republicans. He is playing into their insidious ideology.

Fortunately, Republican candidates such as Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas have the wherewithal to beat Mr. Trump, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders. That is, if the Republican Party gets its act together and works to dismantle the greatest threat to our country: Liberal Democrat ideology….

Supreme Court Injustice

Democrats and the liberal news media never let up with their tyrannical intimidation of conservatives to further their insidious agenda against America and the traditional values of the Founders.

Indeed, the Supreme Court has become the focal point of what’s wrong with our society, under siege by socialists who are determined to undermine our Constitution and our founding principles.

Clearly, the leaders of the war against America are well-documented in our history, including what was supposed to be the chief safeguard of our Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States.

Surely, the brutal liberal lynching by Senate Judiciary Sen. Joe Biden against Supreme Court nominees Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas is clear and convincing evidence of authoritarian Democrats against the Constitution.

Certainly, Republican mistakes have been made in the appointments of Supreme Court Justices, John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O’Conner, Anthony Kennedy, and Chief Justice John Roberts – not to mention the drastic mistake of Chief Justice Earl Warren by President Eisenhower….

Of course, Democrat presidents Clinton and Obama have ensured the Court’s liberal agenda and indifference to Constitutional law with the appointments of justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

Alas, the latest grave injustice is being attempted by President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland, an Anthony Kennedy-like teetering centrist/socialist to replace the deeply troubling constitutional originalist vacancy left by deceased patriot Justice Antonin Scalia. Yet will still have patriot Justice Samuel Alito.

Sadly, that’s the authoritarian liberal way of President Obama’s terms of contempt for America, by simply ignoring and circumventing the Constitution. Supreme Court injustice, indeed, like the presidency and government, the Supreme Court problem is systemic. Absolute power in government and on the Court corrupts, absolutely.

We, the American people must correct it, for our survival….

Election insanity 2016

When Donald Trump announced his Republican bid for president, he seized the stage as ringmaster in the greatest show of political insanity on earth, turning the Republican race into upside down side-shows.

On the Democrat side, corrupt pathological narcissist candidate Hillary Clinton seized upon her coronation role as the first woman president, complicated by the insanity of grumpy old man socialist Bernie Sanders.

Of course, all the insanity is being exacerbated by biased news media sensationalism. Hopefully, voters will wise-up enough to elect a president who will lead us out of the insane darkness into the light of America’s survival.

Re: “GOP has more to lose than gain” … Absolutely. Who will be elected president in 2016?

Considering the probable nominees, it doesn’t look good for America. Clinton or Trump? No!

Unfortunately, too may clueless and indoctrinated voters influenced by biased media will go along with lemming voter-assisted suicide, one way or the other. Why? It already happened with two-term President Obama: Social, political, economic, domestic and national security disaster.

Worse, the state of the Republican Party, Democrat Party and outsiders in the presidential election have created a Trump-driven, ringmaster-cheapened political circus with ugly side-shows, making it painfully clear that America is steeped in election trouble.

The news media, of course, are exacerbating the dilemma. Surely, It’s time for voters to get our act together and promote real democracy wherein we decide, not the personal power hungry narcissistic fools running our country into the ground….

Sen. Rubio or Sen. Cruz are OK alternatives, particularly against a Corrupt Hillary Clinton or a grumpy old socialist, Bernie Sanders.

However, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is the only grounded, qualified candidate with the character, integrity and deeply proven federal and state government experience to pull our country together against government self-destruction, economic ruin and terrorism.

Apple vs. America

Apple’s refusal to co-operate with the FBI regarding the encrypted phone records of the San Bernardino, CA terrorists is simply un-patriotic and un-American.

Particularly, in the insidious climate of national security failures created by President Obama’s dereliction of duty over the past seven years of fundamentally and dangerously transforming America.

Surely, Apple and all American tech companies should be working hard with our domestic and national security officials to prevent terrorist attacks, and to attack terrorists working to hack and attack us, our government, businesses, power grids and our freedom.

Indeed, President Obama is directly responsible for the rise and proliferation of al-Qaeda, ISIS and terrorism in the Middle-East, America and throughout the world – and the criminal invasion across our borders -- which are tantamount to treason.

Clearly, if it were not for this climate of treason, there would have been no post-2008 traitors such as the terrorist attacks in America at Fort Hood, Texas, San Bernardino – and no traitors such as Manning and Snowden – or the aggression of Russia, North Korea and China – or peace with Communist Cuba.

Alas, the liberal media should be ashamed for supporting the treasonous, as should Hollywood for supporting the government-caused fall of the economy, and Oliver Stone for his un-American activities and for glorifying Traitor Edward Snowden.

Obama’s Gitmo legacy

Re: “Obama’s Guantanamo plan hits wall of opposition” [Front page, Feb. 24]:

President Obama doesn’t miss a beat in orchestrating his insidious legacy of fundamentally transforming America.

Indeed, he is determined to release more terrorists from Guantanamo back into rejoining the terrorist jihad against America and the West, and transferring the remaining terrorists to federal prisons – increasing the danger to our people.

Of course, if the Congress does not approve Mr. Obama’s proposed actions to close Guantanamo, he will surely circumvent the Congress and the Constitution again with his all-too-frequent monarchial executive actions.

The New Hampshire primary election launched the proving grounds of a Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders fight over who is going to best continue and expand on President “Barwreck” Obama’s corrosive policies -- and a battle for the Republican spirit of American recovery.

Indeed, through the campaign chaos, indoctrinated Democrats must choose between a Hillary Clinton crook and a Bernie Sanders socialist. And reminiscent Republicans must choose between a sword, shield and chariot charging Donald Trump -- and a winner in wisdom.

Revolting development scenarios

By Daniel B. Jeffs

The rise of uncivilized Islamic assaults on civilization in the world, have been exacerbated by the rise of uncivilized technology resulting in superficial societies of selfish interests, social aggression, political tyranny, economic stress and extremes – particularly in America.

Indeed, America -- the model and historical leader of peace and freedom in the world -- has been severely undermined by the post-WWII cultural revolution resulting in tearing down our established institutions, corrupting our society and diminishing our freedoms.

Clearly, the revolting developments have been caused by social, political and economic extremists from the 1960’s and 70’s, who spawned countercultural hate and decay in society and government, leaving America vulnerable to attack by enemies from within and the outside.

Which leads us the revolting political developments of now and how we got here. Alas, most Democrats have made a costly mess of things, and most Republicans have been less than efficient in cleaning it up. The best of both have been Kennedy and Reagan. The worst: Carter, Clinton and Obama.

Surely, the best outcome for the 2016 presidential election would be either Rubio, Kasich, Christie or Fiorina. The worst would be Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, with Barack Obama on the Supreme Court. The elephant in the room isn’t really an elephant. He’s certainly not a Trump card. He’s a dangerous anomaly.

Presidential race to oblivion?

It’s still the economy, stupid is not Hillary Clinton’s truth any more than it was in 1992, when Bill Clinton schemed his way into the presidency, then undermined the economy by causing the unaffordable housing and financial collapse of 2008.

Indeed, the counter cultural revolution and decades of extremist and socialist indoctrination by the miseducation and media cartel came to fruition with the 2008 election of Barack Obama, humiliating John McCain and the bumbling Republican Party, and assigning Hillary Clinton to dismantle foreign policy and escalate terrorism.

Now, the 2016 presidential race to America’s oblivion is on again, with corruption-in-her-heart and fire-in-her-eyes Hillary Clinton leading, challenged by the cranky old socialist Bernie Sanders and his wild-young indoctrinated crowd of supporters.

Of course, they’re being chased by a narrowing herd of patriotic Republicans, stampeded by wheeler-dealer Donald Trump, and struggling to gain traction with Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Christie and Kasich – with a Bush in the background.

Alas, the liberal media curse is the venomous snake in the grass that will frighten the voter multitude all the way through to the poisoned finish line. Hopefully, the American voters will be concerned enough to find the antidote and a way back to the strong tradition of who we are: Home of the brave and land of the free.

Question is, who will it be? First woman,? first Hispanic? or who? -- I vote for Kasich/Fiorina, for political sanity.

Other people’s money

President Obama is on the tax tyranny against self-reliance express again by proposing an oil tax of $10 per barrel that will increase gasoline, diesel and heating oil prices in his climate change hoax carbon attacks on energy, which will drive up the cost of living.

Indeed, that doesn’t matter to seizing other people’s money liberals, California Governor Brown included. Worse, if either socialist Senator Bernie Sanders or the corrupt Hillary Clinton should be elected president, the road to ruin would continue unabated.

Obama’s Iran scam

President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry have taken a giant step backward in giving the terrorist state of Iran everything they want, with nothing in return but seriously reducing our national security. Indeed, our naval patrol boats unintentionally straying into Iranian waters gave the president exactly what he needed to complete the national security nightmare deal with Iran.

Clearly, it wasn’t enough sucking-up to Iran for releasing our humiliated sailors. No, President Obama and his Secretary of State stooge Kerry seized the moment, gave away the farm and bowed-down to terrorist Iran in the worst of ways, by making another unbalanced exchange for U.S. prisoners, removing all sanctions, releasing $billions in funds, and finalizing the phony nuclear deal.

Which, of course, puts Israel, America and the world in ever-greater danger -- leaves our long-held FBI agent hostage in Iran -- and by releasing Guantanamo terrorists, Mr. Obama continues to exacerbate the damage to our overall national security. Clearly, coupled with laying America bare to terrorism, President “Osama” Obama’s insidious pursuit of his warped legacy is simply insane….

Obama’s chaos 2016

President Obama’s latest unconstitutional executive orders against gun owners and the Second Amendment comes as no surprise. Clearly, Mr. Obama’s staged phony tears over mass murders of children were certainly lacking when he conveniently stopped to meet with families of the victims of the San Bernardino terrorist attack, while on his way to an extended vacation in Hawaii.

Surely, his legacy-building history of unlawful executive orders and edicts have been tantamount to treason. Indeed, President Obama has been on a campaign of creating chaos in America since he took office in 2008, which is consistent with Saul Alinsky’s socialist Rules for Radicals, which Hillary Clinton ascribed to in her college thesis. Certainly, they have both betrayed America’s national security time after time in dealing with Islamic terrorism

What America must realize is that the Middle East has been in a war of Sunni vs. Shiite tribal savagery for centuries, which is now coming to a head between the Saudi Sunni and Iranian Shia. Lest we forget, we backed Sunni Saddam Hussein when he went to war with Iranian Shia and only took him on when he invaded Kuwait.

Then it all went under because Iran exploited Iraq and the nation building didn’t work. Extreme Islamists like al-Qaeda and ISIS simply exacerbates everything against their common infidel enemies, America and the West. Thus we’re caught in the middle of the war of savages. Meanwhile we must elect a strong Republican president and Congress, vigorously defend ourselves at all costs, and hope the Islamic terrorists destroy themselves.

President Obama is a rogue, lawless president, blatantly abusing his executive power, circumventing the Constitution, and contaminating most, if not all, departments of our government -- primarily the DOD, DOJ, EPA, FCC, Homeland Security and the Bureau of Prisons -- which have severely weakened our domestic and national security.

Donald Trump is loose cannon, exploiting American angst, oblivious to Putin’s aggression.

Hillary Clinton and President Obama are the team who disassembled the Middle East, abandoned Israel, the Ukraine, NATO and surrendered to terrorism.

Indeed, Obama reduced our nuclear power 90 percent from Reagan’s 15,000 warheads to 1,500, while making a bad deal allowing Iran to become a nuclear weapons power, assisted by Putin, leading to the potential of nuclear war.

Clearly, America has reached critical mass, and the 2016 Presidential election is vital to our survival, meaning the direction of leadership must be turned around. But not by a dangerous Donald Trump or a corrupt Hillary Clinton.

In the aftermath of the San Bernardino massacre, President Obama’s speech to the country was little more than meaningless babble masking the fact that he wants to disarm Americans more than prevailing against terrorism.

Trump and the GOP

Donald Trump is political suicide for the Republican Party.

Following Donald Trump’s rise as a potential Republican nominee for the 2016 presidential election has gone from fresh conservative vigor to the inescapable conclusion that Trump as the Republican nominee would amount to political suicide for the Republican Party with dire consequences for our nation.

Indeed, it is certainly understandable that President Obama’s abuse of power and his feckless leadership have had a corrosive effect on America’s social, political and economic health, exacerbated by his dangerous irresponsibility in dealing with the growing terrorist threats to our national and domestic security.

However, Donald Trump -- the extreme antithesis to President Obama -- is not the answer. Though Trump talks tough and says what he knows his growing followers want to hear, he simply doesn’t have the temperament or the character to safely and responsibly lead our country.

Clearly, a president Trump would throw fuel on the fires of terrorism against America.

Instead, conservative, moderates and independents should support candidates such as a team of Sen. Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina for strong, clearheaded leadership to support and defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic -- and to protect the American people.

America in peril

President Obama made it painfully clear when he helped remove the dictators of Egypt and Libya and encouraged the Arab Spring to spread throughout the Middle East, that he would do nothing about the proliferation of terrorism when he neglected to stop the spread of ISIS from Syria into Iraq.

Furthermore, Mr. Obama endorsed Morsi as president of Egypt, and with it, the Muslim Brotherhood, which resulted in the expansion of al-Qaeda and the entry of ISIS into Egypt -- and most probably, resulted in the bombing of the Russian airliner.

Surely, President Obama is simply not dealing with the aggression and threats from ISIS, Iran or Russia, which creates more and more danger for the world. Most certainly, his unabated incompetence has failed our national and domestic security, which places America in grave, ever-increasing peril.

Alas, the president’s feckless administration is in the last round of a legacy that has done serious damage by reducing America to a quasi-socialist state pushing a superficial society of selfish interests, social aggression, political chaos, and economic instability – a perfect handover to a Saul Alinsky-loving first woman president by the name of Hillary Clinton.

As the 2016 presidential debates began, Fox News hosted the first GOP debate, which was fair and balanced. Less so, when the second debate was hosted by CNN, which was slanted by the usual liberal-elitist questioning.

Meanwhile, the first Democrat presidential debate hosted by CNN was little more than fawning over the candidates, concluding with the anointing of Hillary Clinton as the first woman president, just as the liberal media did with Barack Obama as the first black president in 2008.

However, the third GOP debate hosted by NBC’s business channel CNBC was anything but subtle bias. Rather than concentrating on their specialty, the economy, panel members were condescending, rude, sometimes hostile to the candidates with personal attacks, which came as no surprise from the left.

Coddling our enemies

President Obama has made it painfully clear that he has no responsibility for America’s national and domestic security as evidenced by coddling the Taliban and ISIS, by Russia’s aggression in Europe and Syria and his making a bad deal with Iran.

President Obama has made it painfully clear that he has no responsibility for America’s national and domestic security as evidenced by coddling the Taliban (Bowe Bergdahl prisoner exchange); ISIS (allowing them to flourish and run over the Middle East); Russia’s aggression in Europe, Syria and assisting Iran’s nuclear ambitions; making a bad deal with Iran than will ensure them obtaining nuclear weapons; China undermining our economy, and illegal alien criminals preying on our citizens with impunity.

Indeed, Mr. Obama has intentionally established himself as our greatest threat by turning his back on America and our enemies to pursue his insidious agenda of fundamentally transforming the United States.

Clinton’s email espionage

Hillary Clinton will likely escape prosecution for her top secret email espionage simply because the Clinton’s have “gotten away with murder” since they burst on the political scene in 1992, winning the presidency by default, handed to them by Ross Perot.

Indeed, as a former law enforcement officer since 1960, and since my retirement in 2006, I have witnessed the rise and decline of our country -- including the Clinton “horror story” and President Obama’s abysmal terms in office – causing me to be deeply concerned for my family, my country and the American people.

Clearly, It was bad enough that Bill Clinton’s silver tongue conned his way passed a long history of sexually abusing women, to accomplish his goals for fame and power, backed by his greedy, ruthless wife and first lady, Hillary -- at any cost.

Alas, that cost included fraudulent land and stock deals, the lives of Arkansas state troopers, White House troubled ally, Vince Foster, surviving impeachment and removal from office, Pardoning America’s foremost tax cheat and traitor, Marc Rich, stealing White House property, being the root cause of the 2008 housing and financial collapse, and working the system for personal gain and absolute power.

Coupled with her profitable illegal deals with foreign powers, incompetent service as secretary of state – costing the lives of four Americans including our ambassador at Benghazi, Libya – and receiving classified emails on her private server (tantamount to treason), Hillary Clinton is not qualified to hold public office, particularly the presidency. Clearly, there will be ample evidence to prosecute her.

Dynamic trio

In the first Republican debate for president, Gov. Scott Walker, Carly Fiorina and Dr. Ben Carson confirmed their credentials as a dynamic duo who could and should win the 2016 presidential election. Indeed, with either candidate as the nominee for president, and the other as a vice president running mate, they have the capacity and expertise to turn government and the economy around as should have been done decades ago.

Clearly, Gov. Walker has proven himself as a chief state executive officer with the courage and conviction to get results from taking on the tyranny of government and teacher unions, reducing the size of government, cutting taxes and creating jobs, which got him re-elected twice. He is also the only governor who survived a recall election.

Coupled with Newt Gingrich and Gov. John Kasich as his chiefs of staff, Walker would be an ideal president. And surely, Carly Fiorina proved herself as the CEO of HP, the largest tech company in the world, with a deep knowledge of the overall economy, highly capable as vice president to correct government’s role. Indeed, Dr. Ben Carson is sorely needed as the Secretary of HHS to deal with Obamacare and to prepare its repeal.

A strong president and administration is just what our country needs to recover from the serious damage inflicted on America’s society, economy, domestic and national security by President Obama and his administration, hopefully, before it’s too late…. Walker and Fiorina are the best choices to do that.

Obama’s power abuse plan

As promised by President Obama in his 2008 presidential campaign -- stating that he would eliminate coal-power and establish renewable energy, which would necessarily cause people’s electricity rates to skyrocket -- Mr. Obama is marching non-stop down the road to fulfilling his legacy at any cost, waving the flag of the global-warming hoax, while he continues fundamentally transforming America, as promised.....

Certainly, coupled with nationalizing health care, over-regulating Wall Street and the finance industry, establishing national education -- and lawlessly circumventing the Constitution and Congress with continuous executive orders and imperial edicts – President Obama’s abuse of power seems limitless.

Worse, the president’s feckless foreign policy has allowed Russia’s aggression to escalate, the al-Qaeda – ISIS terror machines to spread throughout the Middle East and the world, and Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism to reign toward nuclear weapons, the destruction of Israel and attacks against America and the West.

Sadly, along with the lack of border security, the infiltration of criminal illegal aliens, socialist chaos, damaging race relations and his war against the police, President Obama Is in the process of pounding the final nails of his legacy into America’s social, political, economic, domestic and national security coffin.

Alas, hope is not lost if American voters rise up, reject the liberal disease infecting our country, and take back government in the 2016 elections….

Obama’s climate plan

Clearly, as promised by President Obama in his 2008 presidential campaign -- stating that he would eliminate coal-power and establish renewable energy, which would necessarily cause people’s electricity rates to skyrocket -- Mr. Obama is marching non-stop down the road to fulfilling his legacy, waving the flag of the global-warming hoax as he continues fundamentally transforming America – as promised.

Trump support retraction

As reader Philip Gericke rightly pointed out, how anyone could be drawn to Donald Trump is difficult to fathom, I am embarrassed and apologize with an explanation: Before the Daily Press published my letter supporting Trump, I submitted a commentary two weeks earlier (July 20) modifying my support to Gov. Scott Walker for president and Carly Fiorina for vice president, a dynamic duo.

Indeed, after watching the first Republic debate, and first question to the candidates, I realized that I was being hustled by Trump, as I painfully recalled being hustled and betrayed by Ross Perot, which had caused me to change from Republican to Independent to support him.

The first Republican debate hosted by Fox News was a great success, revealing the core principles of each candidate, most of whom were highly qualified, with two standouts. First was Carly Fiorina who clearly won the second-tier debate, which should elevate her into the first tier.

Second, and more importantly, was Donald Trump, who disturbingly refused to take the pledge not to run as an independent candidate, which would clearly hand the general election to presumed Democrat nominee, Hillary Clinton, just as Ross Perot did for Bill Clinton to spite George H.W. Bush in 1992.

For that reason, Donald Trump should be scorned and ignored by Republican and most independent voters.

Indeed, the best choices for a Republican presidency should be as follows: Scott Walker, president; Carly Fiorina, Vice President, with major Cabinet positions comprised of: Marco Rubio, Secretary of State; Ted Cruz, Secretary of Defense; Rick Perry, Homeland Security; Chris Christie, Attorney General; John Kasich, Secretary of the Treasury; Ben Carson, Secretary of Health and Human Services; Rand Paul, Secretary of Commerce; and the Department of Education eliminated.

Finally, as a result of the 2016 elections, if Republican don’t control the Presidency and the Congress, flaming liberals lit and fueled by President Obama and Hillary Clinton, exacerbated by Russia, China and terrorists, will surely burn down America.

Trump’s truth for president

The demonization of Donald Trump by America’s insidious Left comes as no surprise, particularly, when Trump hits that liberal nerve. Indeed, the attacks are increasing and relentless, even to blatantly violating his constitutional conservative free speech and property rights.

Does that bother Mr. Trump? Absolutely not. Since announcing his candidacy for president, he has aggressively taken on all comers from the liberal media, to divisive racial agitators, business cowards, and spineless Republicans.

Clearly, what America and the Republican Party need to recover from President Obama’s terrible-terms in office, damaging Democrats and the anti-American Left is “The Donald” playing his patriotic Trump cards against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Surely, with a solid VP such as Sen. Rubio or Gov. Walker, a president Trump would take-on economy-busting big government, build strong national security and restore the economy. Certainly, the TRUTH is what America needs to triumph over evil. And Trump’s got it!

First woman president

Editorial cartoonist, Lisa Benson – as usual -- hit the mark with her political sign, “Running from Hillary 2016.”

Surely, former First lady (co-president), Senator and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has made it painfully clear that she is unquestionably entitled to inherit absolute power in Washington. Unfortunately, the first black president, Barack Obama, was an impulsive, costly mistake by the press and voters. Indeed, President Obama is establishing a painful legacy of unrelenting abuse of power.

Question is, will America make a worse mistake with the first woman president? Hopefully, the answer is a resounding, NO! Hillary Clinton has a long record of political corruption and abuse of power, as evidenced by her sullied performance as first lady, U.S. Senator, and Secretary of State – which carelessly resulted in the terrorist murders of our Ambassador at Benghazi, Libya and three other Americans.

And the Hillary corruption chronicles continue as presidential candidate, unabated. Alas, the only alternative from the Democrat Party side appears to be extreme leftist, Senator Elizabeth Warren, which would be worse because she, along with Senator Bernie Sanders and President Obama, represent ERR, Evil Revenuers and Regulators -- demons who defame the name of the Democrat Party.

Clearly, the first woman president should be an honest, strong and productive woman of integrity such as Republicans, Carly Fiorina or Meg Whitman who genuinely represent the freedoms of our democratic republic.

President Obama vs. America
(Round 7 starts with a $4 trillion budget)

In the deadly hostile environment of ISIS, al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorists, it has become painfully clear that President Obama is covering his arrogant ineptness and refusal to deal with the imminent dangers to our national security by insulting the intelligence of the American people.

Indeed, since when did Taliban terrorists -- controlling Afghanistan and joining with Osama bin-Laden’s al-Qaeda to plot and carry out the 9/11 attacks on America -- become insurgents?

The answer is simple: Since the president traded 5 top level Taliban terrorists for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, an American deserter and traitor who collaborated with the Taliban for 5 years, costing the lives of 5 of our troops searching for him. Since President Obama surrendered Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Middle East to Iran and the radical Islamic Jihad against all non-conforming Muslims, Israel, America and the West.

Surely, Mr. Obama’s Taliban prisoner exchange intentions were to appease the Taliban – followed by closing Guantanamo and giving it back to Cuba -- suppress Bergdahl’s military prosecution and quietly slip him out of the military with a dishonorable discharge – not to mention ignoring the ongoing Taliban terrorist takeover of nuclear Pakistan, recently costing the lives of 132 school children.

President Obama is the antithesis of a responsible U.S. President and Commander-in-Chief, and he is betraying the American people with his dangerous ineptness, distractions, deceptions, lies, abuse of power machinations and parsing official language – too numerous to include here -- in the blind pursuit of his un-American agenda.

Unfortunately, impeachment is not an option for the first black president. Hopefully, with an $18 trillion national debt, and coming out with a $4 trillion budget in Round 7, America can survive the sucker-punches of Mr. Obama’s last two years in office. And hopefully, wised-up voters, a reformed media and a Republican president and Congress can undo what Obama/Democrats have wrought upon our society and lead us out of the liberal wilderness to the light of freedom and recovery.

President Obama is waging war against coal, oil and much more

President Obama and his liberal Democrat culture have been waging war against America since his 2008 election. Clearly, the president’s latest attack against oil by designating 1.5 million oil-rich acres in Alaska a wilderness area, and refusal to approve the Keystone Pipeline -- added to his EPA’s crushing blows against the coal industry -- is painful proof of his campaign promise that our electric bills would necessarily “skyrocket,” in favor of costly and unreliable renewable energy.

Indeed, we now know that when then Senator Obama boldly stated that he was going to fundamentally transform America -- by undermining our security and freedoms with extreme social, political and economic divisions -- he meant it.

Certainly, President Obama and his Democrat Congress undermined our economic freedoms with his Unaffordable Careless Act, and the Dodd Frank finance legislation. Worse, Mr. Obama’s foreign policy and feckless war against terrorism has put our nation at extreme risk, particularly by playing into the feigned negotiating hands of the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, Iran while they develop nuclear weapons and expand their influence throughout the Middle East – with little or no resistance.

Surely, President Obama blatantly lied in his 2015 State of the Union speech when he said that he had no more campaigns to run, when in fact he has never stopped campaigning, and won’t stop during his last two years in office. The question is, how much more damage will he inflict upon us? Fortunately, Congress is now controlled by Republicans, albeit subject to Mr. Obama’s veto. Hopefully, the presidency will go to a Republican in 2016 instead of incompetent Hillary Clinton – a poor choice for the first woman president – as it sadly was for the first black president.

Alas, America is steeped in uncertainty from being assaulted by big government, abuse of power, regulations taxation and debt – and battered by the failures of good intentions. Hopefully, the Republican Party will nominate Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, with an articulate running-mate such as Sen. Rubio or Gov. Huckabee. Governor Walker is an honest man with high integrity, state executive experience, and he will be strong for our society, our economy and our national security.

Clearly, our freedoms, our future, our security and democracy are in the hands of our fellow voters – a voter nation of fools -- until we took control of the House in 2010, slipped back to President Obama in 2012 – then took control of the Senate in 2014. We will need someone like Governor Walker in 2016, to pick up the pieces of our unique republic, recover and move on to true liberty real democracy and prosperity.
