Putin Can't Be Honest With His Fellow Countrymen

Russia may have be a great country with a terrible history and for that we must try to understand. They murdered all the Royal Family and since that time has been a mess. (Read the bottom of page).

Remember the good times under a dictatorship such as Putin, standing line for shoes, toilet paper, food, and the wonderful hospitals people were sent to if they said anything about the leaders and those were the lucky ones. Some just disappeared  (murdered) without a trace. Now they poison people in foreign countries they don't like.

How do you spell Putin (KGB) as he doesn't give a damn about the Russian people as he is one of the wealthiest people on this plant and yet the average person in Russia struggles. He keeps telling his people how the world is against Russia and that is one of the BIGGEST LIES that never goes away. 

No-one wants to take over Russia or tell the people what to do. The world wants peace and to help the average Russian to a better life. This is the same problem that takes place in the middle east. The people in the Middle East are also not told the truth and the leaders only care about themselves not the people. That is another story.

Putin is a great liar and I can't understand why he thinks taking off his shirt means anything. He keeps trying to show how mucho he is and many times guys try those things because of just the opposite is true. He tries to keep the average citizen in the dark as to the truth because if they learned the world want to help, he would have no power over the people.

If anyone in Russia reads this, find the truth about what is going on and be careful as it could cost your life. Never believe the first article you read so be sure to research a lot before you accept what government tells you.

One thing is certain: Putin's view of Russian history, fueled by his regular reading of historical biographies, is organized by success and achievement, not ideology. The country's great "tsars" were Stalin and Peter the Great, the disastrous ones Mikhail Gorbachev and Nicholas II. And, as he has told his entourage, unlike Gorbachev and the last Romanov tsar, "I'll never abdicate."

I recently completed a history of the Romanov dynasty, and I am often asked if I censored anything from the gruesome and sexually explicit materials I discovered in the archives of the family's three-century rule. The answer is yes, but only one once. As I was finishing the book, I left out the more horrid and brutal details of the family's murder in 1918. Whatever the fate of the bodies, whatever the future of Russia, however one regards the violent drama of Romanov rule, this remains the most heartbreaking and unbearable scene of them all.  

  

This Kid is Scary

I have not heard him speak, I have only seen him photos and the first thing I thought of was "Hitler" and the photos I have seen of him. His raised first also reminds me fo Tommy Smith during the olympics but he is no Tommy Smith.

Tommy was protesting racial inequality that happens in America and is still happening today. That is another item for another day. 

Today it is about a young person who comes across mean, scary, and not to bright when it comes to why we have the 2nd. Government is not to be trusted and this is the main reason Americans must protect the right to bear arms. Our forefathers knew that governments can and may try to become controlled by dictators once our freedoms are slowly taken. It will be like the frog you placed in cld water and slowly bring to a boil. You don't know what has happened until it is too late.

Why did 3 Colleges turn him down with a 4.2GPA?????????

Over 50 years ago my father told to be be armed as we would have to fight for freedom again as our rights and freedoms were being slowly taken. He is right and all you have to see is the National Debt this country has. No family would ever be allowed to become so much in debt like our country has.

Cold Eyes and Reminds Me of Hitler

When government takes our guns we as a free loving people are finished. I remember a movie that had a GREAT statement. The line was "People should not be afraid of the government, Government should be afraid of the PEOPLE". Government is not to be trusted as OUR government is corrupt, dishonest, and when the rubber hits the road, doesn't give a damn about "We the People". They only care about what "They the Congress" can get out of us.

If anyone thinks this kid gives a damn about We the People is wrong. He loves the limelight and attention. Because a person on Fox spoke out and may have been a little harsh folks have turned on her and she may now be fired for "Freedom of Speech". they have that right of course and I as an American have the right to no longer use their products. When free speech is blocked, lousing our freedoms is right behind and coming fast.

Below is a partial list of companies that may or have left the program and tried to shut down free speech. They leave her show, I leave their products.

Top Laura Ingraham Advertisers

Johnson & Johnson (who cares) told HuffPost that it “will pull advertising from Ms. Ingraham’s show.” Stitch Fix (what is stitch fix) also confirmed that it would stop purchasing ads on her program. A representative for Jenny Craig said, “We have decided to take steps to discontinue advertising on this show.”

After seeing this list on the net, won't be a great loss as only Hulu was of interest.

Remember just because I may not like what he is saying or how he looks. He has that right and many people have or carry guns to protect his right to speak.

  

Obama Scandal free, What a liar or doing drugs

Obama Scandal: Former President Obama and his political supporters have repeatedly stated that his administration was scandal-free, unlike administrations before and after. "We're probably the first administration in modern history that hasn't had a major scandal in the White House," Obama himself said. A new book puts the lie to that statement.

Never mind that the left-leaning big media basically ignored major scandals during the Obama years, ranging from the IRS targeting scandal and the VA's deadly waiting lists for veterans to Hillary Clinton's illegal use of an unsecured, hackable home-brew server for her official duties as secretary of state and the Fast and Furious gunwalking program.

These and others were epic scandals that the media simply ignored or downplayed.

The media have contrasted Obama's supposed honesty and forthrightness with President Trump's supposed venality and political unscrupulousness, as embodied in the year-and-a-half long Russia-Trump scandal investigation that shows few signs of letting up.

The book claims "Obama and his administration would deem industries either destructive to the environment or 

exploitative for the financial and professional gain of his friends, including industries such as coal mining, 

offshore drilling, cash advance companies, and for-profit colleges,"  wrote Katelyn Caralle of the Washington Examiner.

Schweizer's book, based on extensive research, says 

that Obama acted to regulate certain industries in such a way 

that the regulations lowered the value of some of the 

companies, wrote Katelyn Caralle of the Washington Examiner.

 These actions let two family friends to profit handsomely 

on deals through their own investment firm.

Here's how it worked: Obama buddies Marty Nesbitt and Harreld Kirkpatrick III formed a private equity investment firm called Vistria, right around the time Obama was re-elected in 2012.

Nothing wrong with that, except, as Schweizer notes in his book, "A curious pattern began to emerge. Obama and his administration would attack industries with government power, which led to substantially lower valuations for these companies. Nesbitt and Vistria, or others close to Obama, could then acquire those assets for pennies on the dollar."

As an example, Schweizer cites the case of for-profit higher education schools like University of Phoenix, ITT Technical Institute, and DeVry University. In 2013, Obama blamed the schools for taking advantage of students by saddling them with massive amounts of student debt, ruining their credit and making a profit on it. He ordered the Federal Trade Commission to go after them.

In the case of the University of Phoenix, its parent Apollo Education Group was suspended after a Federal Trade Commission investigation in 2015. The following year, three companies, including Vistria, swooped in to buy what remained of Apollo at a price 90% below its share price before the investigation.

As Vistria's education investment portfolio bulged, a number of Obama Education Department officials, including Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, ended up taking high-level jobs with Vistria.

That's just one example. There are others.

Schweizer noted in his book, for instance, that both Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry were deeply involved in trade and security talks with China even as that country began its aggressive campaign to expand its military and physical presence in the South China Sea. Contrary to standard diplomatic practice, however, both played "good cop," not seriously confronting China on its misbehavior.

Remember, Biden and Kerry were close friends from their years spent together in the Senate. So there was little surprise when Biden's son, Hunter, and Kerry's stepson, Christopher Heinz, one of the heirs to the Heinz ketchup fortune, went into business together in 2009.

They created a number of equity and real estate investment firms allied to Rosemont Capital, "the alternative investment fund of the Heinz Family Office."

So far so good. Except, "Over the next seven years, as both Joe Biden and John Kerry negotiated sensitive and high-stakes deals with foreign governments, Rosemont entities secured a series of exclusive deals with those same foreign governments."

In December of 2013, for instance, Biden traveled to China for talks. He brought Hunter Biden along. While there, the senior Biden soft-pedaled China's clear aggression, and played up the bilateral trade partnership. Ten days after the trip concluded, China's central bank, the Bank of China, set up a $1 billion investment joint venture called Bohai Harvest RST. For the record, the "RS" referred to Biden's son's firm, Rosemont Seneca.

That's questionable enough.

But months later, in July 2014, Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to China, also for talks. Kerry talked little of China's clear aggression, but did conspicuously note that "China and the United States represent the greatest economic alliance trading partnership in the history of humankind."

He should know. In the ensuing months, Chinese government-linked firms took major stakes in several of the firms owned or controlled by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz, and provided them with massive funding totaling billions of dollars. Nor is this the only scandal involving John Kerry.

And this just scratches the surface. The book is a catalog, a virtual roadmap, to the way corrupt business gets done in Washington — and why Americans are smart to question why their representative go to Washington as paupers, and return as millionaires.

We can only hope that as Biden or Kerry gears up for a challenge to Trump in the 2020 presidential contest, they will receive the same relentless scrutiny that a Republican with the same record of venality would get. But we won't hold our breath.

The Dumbest Idea from a Teacher

Lets arm our teachers and students with ROCKS to fight off nut jobs in schools or wherever with guns. Folks talk about a policeman with a 9mm fighting a person with a semi automatic rifle and now some dumbass teacher thinks a bucket of ROCKS will help!!!!!! 

What the hell was this teacher smoking to come up with that. Rocks fighting a gun, what you get a a dead rock thrower. Listening to this crap is it any wonder nothing gets done. Some simple laws would solve part of the problem but that will take people that do not have a preconceived idea works. What may help is if the laws we have now would be ENFORCED.  

Police have to do their job which they didn't in Parkland, the FBI following up WHICH THEY DID NOT and facility listening to students as they know usually what is going on with other students.

Parkland was a total failure by the FBI, Sheriff, and school itself for what happened. They had info and warnings but chose to do nothing but as Washington says, "KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD". Doing it this time got 17 children and adults killed.

Charles Krauthammer"s Interesting Take on Mr. Trump.

  

A TAKE ON DONALD TRUMP 

A different take on Donald Trump: (a non-political agenda) 

Trump Is Not A Liberal or Conservative, He's a "Pragmatist." 

(Definition: A pragmatist is someone who is practical and focused on reaching a goal. 

A pragmatist usually has a straightforward, matter-of-fact approach and doesn't let 

emotion distract him or her.) 

"We recently enjoyed a belated holiday dinner with friends at the home of other friends. 

The dinner conversation varied from discussions about antique glass and china to theology 

and politics. At one point, reference was made to Donald Trump being a conservative, to

which I responded that Trump is not a conservative.  I said that I neither view nor do I 

believe Trump views himself as a conservative. I stated it was my opinion that Trump is a

pragmatist.  He sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn't see the 

problem as liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality that should

be admired and applauded, not condemned. But I get ahead of myself. 

Viewing problems from a Liberal perspective has resulted in the creation of more problems, 

more entitlement programs, more victims, more  government, more political correctness, and more attacks on the working class in all economic strata. 

Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative perspective has brought 

continued spending and globalism to the detriment  of American interests and well being, 

denial of what the real problems are, weak, ineffective, milquetoast, leadership that amounts 

to Barney Fife Deputy Sheriff, appeasement oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In brief,

it has brought liberal ideology  with a pachyderm as a mascot juxtaposed to the ass of the

Democrat Party.

Immigration isn't a Republican problem,  it isn't a Liberal problem, it is a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure  of America. It demands a pragmatic approach not an approach that is intended to appease one group or another. 

The impending collapse of the economy wasn't a Liberal or Conservative problem, it is an 

American problem. That said, until it is viewed  as a problem that demands a common sense approach to resolution, it will never be fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix things and the longevity of  their impracticality has proven to have no lasting effect. 

Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things work, they do not promise to accommodate.  Trump uniquely understands that China's manipulation of currency is not a Republican problem or a Democrat problem. It is a problem that  threatens our financial stability and he understands the proper balance needed to fix it. 

Here again, successful businessmen like Trump who have weathered the changing tides of 

economic reality understand what is necessary  to make business work, and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know that if something doesn't work, you don't continue trying to make it work hoping that at some point it will. 

As a pragmatist, Donald Trump hasn't made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of a cell phone in every pocket, free college tuition, and a $15  hour minimum wage for working the drive-through at Carl's Hamburgers.  I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see a problem and find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound  it by creating more problems. 

You may not like Donald Trump, but I suspect that the reason some people do not like him is because: 

(1) he is antithetical to the "good old boy" method of brokering backroom deals that fatten the coffers of politicians; 

(2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a president speak who is unencumbered by the financial shackles of those who he owes vis-a-vis donations; 

(3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology; 

(4) he says what he is thinking, is unapologetic for his outspoken thoughts, speaks very straightforward using everyday language that  can be understood by all (and is offensive to some who dislike him anyway) making him a great communicator, for the most part, does what he says he will do and; 

(5) he is someone who understands that it takes  more than hollow promises and political correctness to make America great again. 

Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America is like listening to two lunatics trying to "out crazy" one  another. Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Marco Rubio are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the bankers, corporations, and big dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush can deny it, but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts is that people don't give tens  of millions without expecting something in return. 

We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues and what has it brought us? Are we better off today or worse off? Has it happened overnight, or has it been a steady decline brought on by both parties? 

I submit that a pragmatist is just what America needs right now. People are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance, but that is common among those who have never accomplished anything in their lives (or politicians who never really solved a problem, because it's better to still have an "issue(s) to be solved," so re-elect me to solve it, (which never happens) and those who have always played it safe (again, all politicians) not willing to risk failure, to try and achieve success). 

Donald Trump put his total financial empire at risk in running for president and certainly did not need or possibly even want the job; that says it all. He wants success for the U.S. and her citizens because he loves his country!
