Is Donald Trump a Conservative or a RINO?

If you've been watching the Republican presidential contest for the nomination, you will have noticed all the hype surrounding Trump. Early on, the common sentiment was that, "Don't be concerned; he's just a showman and will burn out soon."

Well folks, that didn't happen and the pundits are getting nervous. They're not sure why he is demonstrating such holding power. It's easy to see; he has tapped into a nerve common to the average Joe and Joan on the street.



He's talking about the issues that concern the common citizen. The established Republicans have long promised to tackle these issues. They include jobs, illegal immigration, the economy, crime, local and national political corruption, and more.

The professional politicians have a habit of making promises regarding these issues while on the campaign trail but once elected, they promptly forget and proceed glad-handing with the boys carrying the money bags.

Now that they are getting nervous they are crying, "Trump's not a real conservative!"

But how many true conservatives are really out there among the candidates or sitting in Congress? I can't find one except for Ted Cruz. Even though Republicans control both the House and the Senate, they continue to capitulate to the liberal Obama administration.

John Boehner was a huge disappointment as Speaker of the House. Paul Ryan showed promise early on but has since proven to be Obama's lap-dog.

Donald Trump scares them because he is not beholden to special interests, speaks his mind (coinciding with the average man and woman on the street) without worrying about political correctness, and is actually a financial success unlike the mainstream ruling class suckling the government teat.

It's impossible to say in advance how conservatively the Donald would run the country, but one thing's for sure. He couldn't do any worse than the current batch of RINOs. Let's make America great again.

The Obama Administration's Delimma Over Hillary's Emails

The long drawn-out story of the emails Clinton stored on her personal server is looking more and more like a soap opera. And it's going to get worse for her before it gets better. First there were so many initial lies (which for the most part the complicit media glosses over). I didn't want to carry more than one device. I didn't store any classified emails.

The problem with that last one is that according to the Washington Examiner, "They are now at over 1,200 classified emails." And folks, they're not done yet. Once they are done examining the emails the FBI will interview her and present their case to the Justice Department.

What will Lynch Do?

Now comes the rub. There is already enough overwhelming evidence that a criminal indictment is a very real possibility. But will the administration let that happen or will they try to shield her until after the election?

Attorney General Loretta Lynch is the individual that will have to level charges and order the indictment. She was appointed by, and is presumably advised by, President Obama. This puts the administration between a rock and a hard place.



On the one hand, the administration is keen on keeping the White House in the Democrat camp. It's Hillary or nobody. Bernie would have a hard time competing with any of the potential Republican possibles. If an indictment doesn't happen or is delayed, three things are likely to occur. First, it will be obvious to the voting public that political chicanery is afoot.

Secondly, The FBI and others in the intelligence community will suffer a credibility loss and will be much less cooperative with this administration going forward. Finally, a precedent will have been set and it will in the future it will be much harder to press charges on any federal employee of negligently handling classified information.

In the end the question is, will the Justice Department actually serve up a dose of justice or will we be seen in the eyes of the world as just another banana republic?

Trump vs Clinton on Women's Issues?

It is already obvious that Hillary is waving the "women's issue" banner as one of her primary running points. Well, she hasn't got much else; she was a lousy Secretary of State and she certainly doesn't want to bring up email protocol or Benghazi. (Recall "Who do you want answering the phone a 2 AM talking point the last time around?) That really worked out well when our Ambassador was under attack.

But in reality she doesn't really have a leg to stand on as far as woman's issues go. She's been covering up Bill's infidelities for decades. In fact if you believe Juanita Broaddrick, Hillary approached her some time after the alleged rape and lip-biting session and told her, "We want to thank you for everything you do for Bill," according to an open letter that Broaddrick wrote to Hillary.

Rumor has it that Hillary has plans to trot Bill out once again on the campaign trail to stump for her. Well, last time around he proved to be more of a liability than an asset. With women's issues being front and center this is likely to be a repeat performance. (And she brought that one on herself; what are her advisers thinking?)

Now what about Trump? He claims he is strong on women's issues and respects them but some of his statements make one wonder. Nevertheless, at the date of this posting he has a huge level of support among women, both right-leaning and independents. Whether that will continue as the primaries approach is impossible to predict.

Fast Forward Past the Primaries

Now for the hypothetical. Supposing Trump becomes the Republican candidate and Clinton the Democrat. Clinton seems a shoe-in; it seems unlikely that Sanders will have sufficient funding or popular support as the primary draws near.

My feeling is that Trump knows women's issues are Clinton's Achilles heel and knowing Trump he will latch on it like a shark. He's already said that as soon as Bill enters the fray all of his antics are fair game. Obviously, this will have to have to be soon, well before the primaries if he is going to have any effect on Hillary's campaign.

The debates themselves will be as wonder to behold. Trump is much better than Clinton on stage and he has the benefit of being a Washington outsider. He can most likely only be substantively attacked on his bankruptcies. On the other hand, Clinton, the perennial insider, will have, will have many issues to defend, namely Whitewater, Benghazi, her defense of Bill's peccadillo, and her dismal track record as Secretary of State.

Yes Sir, this is shaping up to be quite the spectator sport.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Sigh. She3 is such a good-looking woman; it's a shame she is such an idiot politically. Another example of a very good-looking Obama lap dog.

What a waste.

George Clooney is Looney for Obama

I usually give Hollywood types a pass for their convoluted view of the real world, but George Clooney's gushing boy-love for President Obama surpasses disgusting - it's embarrassing as an American.

Okay, I can understand Oprah's obsession with the democrat "Messiah". After all, endorsements is what she does. But Clooney? How pathetic. In fact, he says, "There's a guy in office right now who is smarter than almost anyone you know, who's nicer and who has more compassion than almost anyone you know. And he's having an almost impossible time governing. Why would anybody volunteer for that job?"

Smart? What am I missing here? Compassion? Are you kidding, George? On the one hand, he takes advantage of being half-black when it works to his advantage yet he won't ease the governmental restrictions that are preventing job creation when black people are having more trouble finding work than any other demographic.

Do us a favor George; stick to your make believe world and leave reality to the rest of us.

Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead, So Long Usama Bin Laden

Yes radical Muslims, we know you celebrate death in your "religion of peace". So celebrate today because your leader caught a bullet between the eyes. And guess what? There will be no virgins waiting for him as he goes to his watery grave.

We in the west have no desire to revert to the stone age, embrace woman-hating sharia law, and emulate the Flintstones. If certain knuckle-draggers want that, that's fine, but hey, keep it to yourselves. Those of us in America want none of it.

It's been years since Islam declared war on us and even though your leader has now been executed, we know the war is far from over.

Radical Islam's long-range plan to establish a new caliphate and rule the world with a sword and a religion which embraces hate and death will continue. But it is important to realize that it will not be successful.

Mexican Smuglers Get Bolder

The US/Mexico border crossing at San Ysidro, California was closed and later reopened this morning after three vans packed with illegal aliens zipped through.


The driver of the first van handed his driver's license to the border guard, and when the guard turned to his booth, all three vans made a mad dash through the border.

This time it wasn't drug smuggling, but human trafficking. But alas, this is another case of "the stupidest criminals". Thinking to avoid the traditional methods of sneaking into the country, they missed that whole thing about California traffic.

Don't these guys get CNN or Fox News? Car chases never turn out in a good way. Pendejos.

It's the Government, Stupid

The core of the problem is that the government refuses to take responsibility for border security. And I'm not throwing stones at any particular administration here. No, none of them have shown any testicular tendencies in running an effective program.

Hussein Obama, Bush, Clinton; none of them have done their job on this issue. The government has no issues with using citizen's tax dollars to protect other countries, but it won't protect it's own citizens.

And it's not just the illegals aliens being allowed to take jobs while Americans are enduring a monumental unemployment rate. It's the drug war spilling across the border. It's the Mexican gangs running operations openly in our "sanctuary cities".

It's time for hope and change, but in actuality this time, not more empty campaign promises.
