Why Donald Trump’s Star Is Rising (He’s Our Bernie Sanders)

Some are baffled that Donald Trump has ridden a sea of controversy to the top of the polls of GOP presidential candidates.

The same head-scratching is going on in Democrat circles over the irascible Bernie Sanders who is now within striking distance of their crown princess, Hillary Clinton. How could this aging socialist threaten the planned coordination of their queen?

These two men are as far apart on the political spectrum as any two candidates can be, but they do have one thing in common: bad hair. Is America really yearning for a fright wig or a comb-over?

That’s not it. Continue reading “Why Donald Trump’s Star Is Rising (He’s Our Bernie Sanders)” →

Why John Kasich Scares Me Most

Okay, he’s not officially in the race, and in the early polls he’s near the bottom, but I predict one of the last Republican candidates standing in the race for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination will be Ohio Governor John Kasich.

First and foremost, in the last three decades, with one notable exception, voters have selected a president the way a seven-year-old selects a Barbie doll. They pick the one with the prettiest face. That’s why Hillary has undergone a complete makeover.

Republicans desperately want to win this one. That being the case, this beauty contest favors Marco Rubio or John Kasich. Both have boyish good looks. Even though Kasich is 19 years older than the junior senator from Florida, he still has what it takes in looks and personality to charm the voters.

The Clintons’ “Get Rich Quick” Schemes

When Bill Clinton became president, he had earned a maximum salary of $35,000 as governor of Arkansas and another $5,000 from honorariums from speaking fees. His wife, Hillary, pulled down $92,000 as a rainmaker at the Rose Law Firm. Somehow, despite their modest incomes, and her profit sharing at Rose, they managed to accumulate assets greater than $1 million, which was placed in a public trust.

How did they do it? No one knows for sure. There was that infamous $100,000 Hillary supposedly made on cattle futures (no political payoff there).

The “Shred of Evidence” Against the Clintons

For all practical purposes the Clintons are a political team. In the run-up to the 1992 presidential election, we were told we could “buy one, get one free.” They would be “co-presidents.”

That line didn’t sit too well with the public so it eventually was dropped from the campaign. Hillary took a more retiring role until Bill was elected. However, once the deal was consummated with the American electorate, all that changed. Hillary was the first first lady to move into the West Wing, where White House insiders have testified that she ruled this roost.

In his book, The Dysfunctional President, psychologist and historian Dr. Paul Fick made a compelling case that, when Hillary was away on a trip, no big decisions were made until she returned. Bill simply couldn’t, or wouldn’t, function without her. Through their triumphs and many scandals they often quarreled, but they never ceased to function as a united political machine.

Go ahead. Crown her Queen!

The British must be laughing at us. We shake our heads and wonder why they have tolerated, if not worshipped, their royalty, while we, unofficially, do the same.

In England, the prime minister is burdened with the task of running the country. He does the heavy lifting while the royals carry nothing at all. They are coddled in luxury. The queen is one of the richest people on earth, but the state supports her lavish lifestyle and that of the entire royal family. It caters to their every whim.

Queen Elizabeth expects the “royal treatment,” much like our would-be queen, Hillary.

Most politicians are called by their surnames: Governors Walker, Bush and Jindal; Senators Cruz, Paul and Rubio; Dr. Carson; etc., but not Mrs. Clinton. It is simply Hillary. It’s on her campaign posters, buttons and signs.

Some believe it’s to separate herself from her husband. She shunned his surname until it became necessary to hide her feminist leanings in order to help him regain the Arkansas governor’s mansion. Once in the White House, it was Hillary Rodham-Clinton and now it is simply “Hillary.”

This is how it is done with the royals. A monarch only uses his or her given name, as in Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, etc. Continue reading “Go ahead. Crown her Queen!” →

Americans trapped in Yemen, Obama Does Nothing

The U.S. is no longer a world power to be respected by our friends and feared by by our enemies. It is not that we don’t have the might to protect our borders or the ability to defend our allies and our interests abroad, its that we no longer have the will.

As the world watches in disbelief, we appear too weak to rescue our citizens trapped in Yemen, a war-torn country we abandoned shortly after Obama held it up as a counter terrorism success story. Continue reading “Americans trapped in Yemen, Obama Does Nothing” →

Hillary Clinton: Worst Government Employee in U.S. History

The U.S. government has far too many overpaid employees who do little or nothing. Once hired they are virtually impossible to fire. They can come in, or not. They can sleep on their desks for the better part of the day and they are protected by a system that, more often than not, rewards failure and punishes accomplishment.

That said, I must offer my apologies to the thousands of sincere, selfless government employees who come in and do their very best for God and country every day in spite of the mess we’ve created for them.

Far worse than the career government employees are some of the 7,000 or so political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the president. They are completely untouchable. Many are unqualified for the jobs they now hold and may have little or no knowledge of the agencies that they now control. Some say that these political appointees lord it over the rank and file who are simply attempting to do their jobs.

Now, let me nominate a woman who should go down as the very worst government employee in U.S. history. Her name is Hilary Clinton. Her claim to fame is that she married a charismatic politician and rode his coattails to the White House, to a seat in the U.S. Senate and to the job of Secretary of State.

Poor Pitiful Hillary

It took “a village” to write Hillary’s latest tome, but it may take a city-sized team of professionals to get her out of this latest debacle.

In the acknowledgements for “Hard Choices” Hillary credits her “book team” for “making sense of her scribbles.” Nevertheless, this experienced politician committed a colossal blunder in one of the first interviews to promote her latest memoir, which is seen as a dry run for her 2016 presidential campaign.

One wonders how ABC anchor Diane Sawyer managed to keep a straight face Monday night when one of the most pampered women in the world opined:

“We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt,” Boohoo! Sob, Sob! “We had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea’s education. You know, it was not easy.”

Either Hillary thinks the country has collective amnesia or she believes that the America people are so dumb that we have no knowledge of anything except the little bits of information she decides to feed us when it serves her purpose.

Hillary Clinton’s Soft Underbelly

President Hillary in 2016? While some see this as inevitable, color me skeptical.

Hillary has a soft underbelly of supporting Marxist groups and sympathizers. A part of that underbelly was exposed last week when she endorsed Bill de Blasio for New York City mayor. The Democrat nominee is considered the odds on favorite for the top spot in the Big Apple. The former First Lady rarely gives her endorsement so this one is curious indeed.

Why did she go the extra mile and give this man her stamp of approval? Continue reading “Hillary Clinton’s Soft Underbelly” →
