What is a Democratic Socialist?

By Linda L Barton

Yesterday’s New York primary ended in a way that most never expected. Believe it or not, the primary voters of NY chose a Democratic Socialist to run in the November mid-term election. Apparently, the voters haven’t heard that Socialism DOESN’T WORK!

However, the unthinkable happened when the 10-term incumbent Democrat, Rep. Joe Crowley lost to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old Socialist in the 14th district of New York. Even Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was surprised by her win.

I’m sure this was a difficult pill for the Democrat Party elites to swallow as Rep. Crowley was the 4th ranking Democrat in the House.  He had hoped to become the Democrat leader since Pelosi is so unpopular with many in the Democrat leadership. It’s funny how life will throw you a surprise.  Now a 28-year-old socialist activist has kicked him to the curb. Way to go, New York 14^th district voters.

So, just what did the NY voters choose? What is Democratic Socialism? Well, it’s quite simple.

It seems the Democrats have been going through a wide range of names they call anyone who supports President Trump. We started out as Deplorables (my favorite), then we moved on to racists, haters, bigots, and on and on. However, the latest name they are throwing at us is over the line; Nazis.

Those on the left have breathlessly compared President Trump to Hitler. They’ve also compared our law enforcement to the Nazi Germany “Gestapo,” which is the abbreviation of Geheime Staatspolizei or Secret State Police. This was the official secret police of Nazi Germany and German-occupied Europe. However, the Democrats of today do not seem to understand history and the term Socialist or Nazi.

While the leftists are pointing fingers and screaming “Nazi” at Trump supporters, they are proving just how ignorant of the facts they are.

Let’s start with the word "Nazi." For those on the left who love the throw it around, Nazi was an abbreviation for "der Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiters Partei. The English translation: The National Socialist German Workers' Party.

What?? But, how is that possible?? I’m sure the liberals would be surprised to learn this fact. You see, the platform of the Democrat Party today is right out of the Nazi/Socialist playbook. Complete government control over every aspect of lives, the government having control over our children, and dividing the people into groups with chosen favorites over the others.

Labeling a group of people as unfit and the need to eradicate them is something right out of the Nazi handbook. In Nazi Germany, it was the Jews. This hate led to the murder of over six million Jews in the German Concentration Camps. Today, the targets are Americans who support President Trump.

The far-left fringes of the Democrat Party are calling for violence against those who support President Trump just as the Nazis did against the Jews in 1930’s Germany. Another frightening fact is if you’re a Christian, get ready to have a BIG bulls-eye on your back. This is why those on the left are trying to take our gun rights. Those millions of Jews who were forced on those trains and taken to their deaths had surrendered their guns and freedoms.

If liberals love the idea of Socialism so much why don’t they go visit Venezuela? The once wealthy country is now in shambles. The people are starving. Heck, they’ve even resorted to eating the animals in zoos. There have even been reports of cannibalism.

However, as always, those in power in Socialist regimes never go without.

As you can plainly see, Socialism is a clear case of the Haves and Have-Nots. Those in power live in luxury and have plenty to eat. While the people STARVE and die from illness.

So, this brings us back to the victory of a self-pronounced Socialist yesterday in New York. This is what she had this to say after her victory:

“This is not an end, this is the beginning. This is the beginning because the message that we sent the world tonight is that it’s not OK to put donors before your community. You have given this country hope, you have given this country proof that when you knock on your neighbor’s door, when you come to them with love, when you let them know that no matter your stance, you are there for them — that we can make change.”

We can make change? Just what change are you wanting? Do you want us eating the animals in zoos so we don’t starve? Do you want the government to control every aspect of our lives? Do you want the divide between the elites in government and the common citizen to grow even wider? Have any of you ever watched the movie series, The Hunger Games?

The Nazis called their movement, The New Order. Does that ring a bell with any of you, my fellow Deplorables? It sure does to me. I remember the first time I heard a similar term said by a past American president. Do you remember when Bush 43 uttered the term, New World Order?

So, just what are Alexandria’s goals if she reaches Congress? Universal healthcare, a guaranteed job for everyone, and the abolition of ICE. Does that sound like the United States of America?

My fellow Deplorables, we are facing dangerous days ahead. The civil war many have warned us about it already here. While we may not have pronounced war on the leftists, they sure as heck have pronounced war on us.

Sheriff Clarke said it best:

Our side HAS to develop the INTESTINAL FORTITUDE for what is ahead to defend OUR choice of @realDonaldTrump as President of the United States. It can't be done from in front of television cameras and flowery rhetoric at National Review and Weekly Standard. Gonna take REAL guts. pic.twitter.com/sXOIUDBRnB

He’s right. We can no longer hide behind our computer screens, only sharing memes and posts like this one you’re reading now. We must be ready to stand up and fight against this steady movement toward socialism and the New World Order by getting out and voting is VAST numbers this November. We did it to put President Trump in the White House, we can do it again. Our futures and the future of our children and grandchildren are at risk if we sit at home and not vote.

Arizona Deplorables: You Have the Opportunity to Help President Trump

By Linda L Barton

We are all hoping the mid-term elections in November will bring more Conservatives to DC.  President Trump needs help to get his agenda through the halls of Congress. With the Democrats sitting on their hands and the RINO’s refusing to set up and do what they were elected to do, we need to send those who are on the same page as President Trump.

Senators McCain and Flake have not well represented our fellow Patriots in Arizona. However, they have the opportunity to elect a true Conservative who will support President Trump in November by casting their vote for Dr. Kelly Ward (R) Arizona.

As you can see she is a strong supporter of the Trump Agenda. BUILD THE WALL!

Let’s take a look at Kelli’s stance on important subjects:

The Constitution - Kelli agrees with the late Justice Scalia’s view that the Constitution is not a living organism. It's a legal document, and it says what it says and doesn't say what it doesn't say. She also believes our rights are granted by God, not government.

Education – Kelli believes it’s important to rethink the way our education system is run. We need to stop letting faraway politicians micromanage our children’s education. Politicians in Washington don’t know what’s best for kids in Arizona, parents do. Kelli supports school choice for all families, no matter where they live.

Faith & Family - Kelli believes traditional principles and values strengthen our communities and make America stronger. Her professional record as a physician and her record as an Arizona State Senator have proven that she is and has always been pro-life.

Gun Rights – Kelli believes there is no right more fundamental to the character and safety of our nation than the right to keep and bear arms. Our Founding Fathers understood that fact, which is why our constitution ensures that it shall not be infringed. She was endorsed by the Gun Owners of America and National Association for Gun Rights in 2016.

Healthcare - Kelli has seen all sides of America’s healthcare system, from medical school to private practice, to the emergency room, and beyond. She knows there is nothing wrong with our healthcare system that can be fixed by Washington politicians or scheming bureaucrats. ObamaCare is a disaster for patients, doctors, and taxpayers, and must be fully repealed in favor of free market solutions.

Immigration - National Security starts with border security. We can never be secure as a nation as long as we have wide open borders and a dysfunctional immigration system. We cannot reward breaking our laws with citizenship, ever.

Jobs & Economy - Personal responsibility, government meddling less in our day-to-day lives, and lower taxes are key ingredients to stimulate economic growth and job creation. So often we hear statistics and generalities, but one’s job is a deeply personal issue and a major aspect of their life. We need to focus on the dignity and independence that good jobs provide and adjust our policies accordingly.

National Security - As a military wife of a husband who has been deployed overseas, Kelli supports military engagement only as a last resort, only when Constitutionally approved by Congress, and only when there is a clear strategy for decisive victory. She does not support endless occupations and expensive nation-building overseas.

Kelli Ward believes, like Ronald Reagan, in "Peace Through Strength,” alongside a realistic and restrained foreign policy. We simply cannot afford to be the world's policeman anymore, and weak half-measures often cause more problems than they solve.

Veterans - As a child, Kelli’s grandmother would take her to the VFW for every holiday, parade, and event. As an adult, she’s been a supportive military wife and has worried and waited for her husband to return from Iraq, where he was being rocketed on a daily basis. That’s why she’s a life member of the VFW Auxiliary.

Since she and Mike moved to Arizona in 1999, and throughout her time as a state legislator, Kelli has been a steadfast supporter of the Arizona National Guard and all members of the military in Arizona.

It’s as important as ever that we honor our veterans by fixing the disastrous VA and ensure that they receive the best healthcare this country has to offer — without red tape and bureaucracy.

As you can see, Dr. Kelli Ward supports the things President Trump has been trying to do since he took control of the White House.

She also has strong support from other Conservatives.

I’m so excited for the Deplorables in Arizona. They have the opportunity to send a strong Conservative to Senate in DC. President Trump needs all the help he can get!

Well, there you have it, my fellow Deplorables. Get out and vote for Dr. Kelli Ward this November and help President Trump KEEP AMERICA GREAT!!

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley Says NO MORE!

By Linda L Barton

Most Conservatives I know are NOT huge fans of the United Nations. In fact, most of us wish the US would pull out and kick them out. We’ve been forced to pay most of the cost of this organization that is corrupt and honestly, a complete joke. Well, it looks like things could get heated between the United States and those on the U.N. Human Rights Council.

It is being said the US pullout is “imminent,” and diplomats have said it’s not a question of IF but WHEN the United States will pull out of the Human Rights Council, which is holding a three-week session through July 6.”

However, this isn’t the first time U.N. Ambassador Haley has spoken about the problems with the Human Rights Council.

It’s hard to imagine countries that regularly violate human rights are allowed to sit on the council. As Ambassador Haley stated, sitting on the council is a privilege.

The Human Rights Council had no problem inviting Iranian Justice Minister Alireza Avaei, a man cited as one of the most brutal men in the world to address it, and a look at the new members inaugurated in 2017 into the Council shows a list of some of the most anti-human rights governments in existence.

Saudi Arabia
Venezuela
China
Cuba
Iraq
Qatar
Burundi
Bangladesh
United Arab Emirates

President George W. Bush boycotted the Human Rights Council for three years before Barack Obama rejoined it in 2009. Last month, the notoriously anti-Israel Council voted to accuse Israel of excessive use of force. The United States and Australia were the only two members of the 47-member body to vote against the resolution.

This video asks an important question of those sitting on the UN Human Rights Council.

We must stand strong with Israel. In Genesis 12:3 it is written: “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Regardless of what many liberals and Muslim Extremists claim, the United States of America IS a Christian nation. We believe the teachings laid out in the Holy Bible, and we will ALWAYS stand strong with Israel.

The Trump Agenda and The War of Words

By Linda L Barton

Nothing could have prepared those on the Left for a President Trump. He came into the White House like a raging lion and has shown the world what TRUE leadership looks like. While the nuts in the liberal media do their best to twist every single word the President says, we, as Patriots need to stop allowing them to control the narrative.

One such example is how we refer to the children brought here illegally by their parents. I’m sorry, but every time I hear someone say, “children brought her through no fault of their own,” I nearly LOSE it!

By allowing that term to stand, we are painting a picture of poor little children being ripped from the arms of their parents and taken away by the meanie Republicans and President Trump.

No, that’s not what’s happening. Those children are NOT victims of a cruel, uncaring government. They are children brought here illegally. Just because they are children, it does not give them the right to be here. They are illegal aliens, just like their parents.

I’m sorry, but that is the excuse used to force Americans to say we need to let mom and dad stay too because we can’t separate the family. Okay, so if a family decides to move into YOUR house against your will, you can’t force them to leave because the children are there through no fault of their own? Doesn’t sound so good now, does it?

Another term that gets me worked up is Dreamers. That’s another way to stop Americans from demanding them returned to the country of their parents. I may sound like a heartless bitch, but when I see young adults holding a sign and demanding that I pay for their college and turn a blind eye to the fact they are breaking the law by being here just gets my blood boiling.

Today at #NHPB18: “Despite what you may have heard, the Democrats just don’t want to make a deal. They don’t want to secure our border, they don’t want to close loopholes....and they don’t want to solve #DACA.” pic.twitter.com/NCR4RijptY

— Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) June 14, 2018

What about our children and grandchildren? Why aren’t they Dreamers? Why aren’t they entitled to the special privileges like the so-called Dreamers? While many support the DACA kids, I don’t. Once you become an adult, I believe it’s your responsibility to take the proper steps to become a legal resident of this country. Marching and demanding the American people give you something you’ve not earned is wrong. Call me heartless, I just don’t care.

45 's Admin. Has Ripped Away
2,000 Children From Their Families
In 42 Days.

— Wisdom Rocks (@GetWisdomDude) June 16, 2018

The lies told to garner support for illegals is never-ending.  The one about nursing babies ripped from their mother's arms is a classic example. According to ICE agents it NEVER happened, but hey, it makes for great propaganda, right?

Then there’s the term, UNDOCUMENTED immigrant. What the hell is that? So, does that mean a drug dealer is an undocumented pharmacist? I don’t think so. It just means you don’t have the proper documentation, pure and simple. It doesn’t make you legal. Nope, you’re still breaking the law.

Today #DACA turns 6 years old. Today i’m still undocumented. Today parents are being deported. Today children are being held in detention centers. Today there is still no legislative solution. Today I just really need to know people are still willing to stand up and fight♥️✊🏾

— Vane (@catalyst_voice) June 15, 2018

With our DC lawmakers voting on the illegal immigrant issue next week, we need to remind them not to fall into the liberal word trap. Those children that the liberals claim are being mistreated by President Trump would not be taken from their parents had their parents entered the US the right way… LEGALLY!

Haters Have No Respect for Charles Krauthammer

By Lisa Vandiver

Charles Krauthammer, an  American syndicated columnist, author, political commentator, and former physician,  recently announced in a letter that he only has about two weeks to live. He was born on March 13, 1950.

Krauthammer’s weekly column was syndicated to more than 400 publications worldwide and became a news commentator on Fox News.

While attending his first year of medical school, Krauthammer was injured in a diving board accident and left paralyzed below the neck. He has used a wheelchair since that accident.

Whether you like the man and agree with his ideas, or not, is a person's choice.  Speaking ill of him on Twitter is not becoming of a person to do so, but then when has that stopped the left from tweeting out death wishes to our president and ‘old white voters?

RIP Charles Krauthammer if you've finally died. It's a shame such a kickass name was wasted on such a craven nutsack of a man.

— Gerard W.A.Y. ("Weird Al" Yankovic) (@patruckmiller) June 16, 2018

There are those who loved and respected this man as well, and I'm sure he's focusing on those and ignoring the haters.

Charles Krauthammer. I often disagreed with him. I never missed reading him. One of the best in our profession. Shalom, Shalom. Tom

— Thomas L. Friedman (@tomfriedman) June 9, 2018

The news that Charles Krauthammer’s condition is terminal is heartbreaking. Beyond the brilliance of his analysis and the paralysis he so remarkably overcame, there is his extraordinary personal grace and kindness. I have missed him very much. I always will

— Brit Hume (@brithume) June 8, 2018

I ask my fellow Americans, conservative, or not, let us put our own agendas to the side and give this man the respect he deserves. Don't be a hater. In this difficult time, I pray for him and for his family.

Operation Broken Heart Nabs 2,300 Pedophiles Nationwide

By Linda L Barton

While the liberal media is losing their minds over children taken from their parents who crossed the southern border illegally, the US Department of Justice has been busy saving children. The leftist media have been accusing the Trump administration of putting the children of illegal immigrants into ‘concentration camps’ after ripping them away from the arms of their parents. However, when it comes to reporting on children saved from sexual abuse at the hands of pedophiles; crickets.

On Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of more than 2,300 pedophiles in a nationwide sting called Operation Broken Heart. This operation targeted sex offenders operating online.

2,300 pedophiles were arrested yesterday in a massive nationwide, multi-agency operation/

---DOJ issued an official press release.---

No coverage from:
- CNN
- NY Times
- Washington Post
- MSNBC

The implications of that omission are....intriguing. pic.twitter.com/8wbtVNPqIf

— Mike Cernovich 🇺🇸 (@Cernovich) June 13, 2018

All 50 states participated in a plan to snare the pedophiles. The alleged crimes ranged from sexually abusing children to producing and distributing child porn. The operation began in March and lasted until May.

The operation originated from more than 25,000 complaints, according to the Department of Justice. Officers also delivered presentations to children on internet safety as part of the operation.

According to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, it was triggered by the increasing popularity of the internet which facilitates pedophiles. 

No child should ever have to endure sexual abuse, and yet, in recent years, certain forms of modern technology have facilitated the spread of child pornography and created greater incentives for its production.

We at the Department of Justice are determined to strike back against these repugnant crimes. It is shocking and very sad that in this one operation, we have arrested more than 2,300 alleged child predators and investigated some 25,200 sexual abuse complaints.

Any would-be criminal should be warned: this Department will remain relentless in hunting down those who victimize our children.

 As of now, the names of the alleged offenders have not been released. Of the 2,300 arrested, 195 offenders either produced child pornography or committed child sexual abuse. Police identified 383 children who suffered recent, ongoing, or historical sexual abuse or who were used in child pornography. According to local media reports, a Secret Service employee residing in Maryland was arrested in March as part of the nationwide operation.

Pedophilia is no longer hidden in the shadows. When you have academics stating pedophilia is normal, the LGBTQ community seeming to promote pedophilia by sexualizing young boys, and of course, Muslims who openly promote child rape, pedophilia is running rampant worldwide and demanding normalization.

Families are powerless against 'ritual pimping' where boys as young as nine dress up as women and dance for older men, only to be raped after their performance.

I cannot begin to say how angry it makes me to know how this disgusting practice is being mainlined today and how those in the media seem to be enabling it. Millions of children are having their childhood stolen from them. They are being treated as property, while many in our society today seem to turn a blind eye.

I’m sure there are MANY in powerful positions today who are guilty of this demonic practice. I only pray that our Department of Justice will continue to arrest these monsters. The futures of many of our children are at stake.

YIKES: A Conservative Author's Worst Nightmare

By Linda L Barton

I was sipping my morning coffee and watching Fox News when my hubby turned to me with a frightening idea. They were showing Former F.B.I. director James Comey pimping his book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership in a Barnes & Noble bookstore. My husband, who I must say has a sharp, and sometimes cruel sense of humor said to me, “How would you feel if one of YOUR books was sitting on the bookstore shelf between Comey’s and Hillary Clinton’s books?”

I just admit my first response was bone-chilling HORROR!! For those of you who don’t know I’m a published author. As any author knows, we dream of our books sitting on the shelves beside famous authors, BUT the thought I’d have one of mine trapped between those two works of FICTION hyper-babble, made my stomach turn. I mean, NO ONE would ever see my book!

With the initial surprising sales of Comey’s little love-fest with himself, I’m sure as the facts of his actions while at the FBI come to light, his sales will tank like Hillary’s have in her rambling last book, What Happened. Heck, I even saw a picture the other day where her book has been discounted 30% and was listed as FICTION. I’m sure Comey’s little piece of work will enjoy such treatment in the now so distant future.

I also have a question for her publisher. Where is the question mark after HAPPENED in the title??? Okay, I feel better now. That has been bugging the heck out of me and it had to be said… snicker.

So, there you have it my fellow Deplorables. You now know a Conservative Author’s WORST nightmare. I just hope I can put that frightening image out of my mind.

FAKE NEWS: Whew… I was Worried!

By Linda L Barton

The crazy Liberal Media is always coming up with endless FAKE NEWS stories about the Trump administration, but sometimes they are ones that get Deplorables worried it might be true. The latest one is the report from CBS News that Sarah Sanders is planning to leave her position as White House Press Secretary.

On Wednesday, CBS News reported that Sarah Sanders would be leaving the White House by the end of this year. Of course, this caused social media to explode with supporters of Sarah and President Trump saddened by this news.

In the report, CBS News stated:

Two of the most visible members of the Trump administration are planning their departures, the latest sign of upheaval in a White House marked by turmoil. Press secretary Sarah Sanders and principal deputy press secretary Raj Shah are both heading for the exits, according to sources inside the White House and close to the administration.

Sanders, who has become a confidante of President Trump since the departure of former communications director Hope Hicks, has told friends that she plans to leave the administration at the end of the year. Shah is also considering his exit, but he has not yet settled on an exact date.

Neither Sanders nor Shah responded to repeated requests for comment before this story was published.

 However, there was ONE major problem, Sarah Sanders never made such a claim. In a tweet, she sets the matter straight.

Does @CBSNews know something I don’t about my plans and my future? I was at my daughter’s year-end Kindergarten event and they ran a story about my “plans to leave the WH” without even talking to me. I love my job and am honored to work for @POTUS

— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) June 14, 2018

I don’t know about you, but I breathed a sigh of relief after reading her response. I know she has a difficult job. It must be a pain in the butt putting up with the whining, bitching, little babies in the media every day, but she does it with style and to be honest, I LOVE watching her put them in their place. We’ve all seen Press Secretaries come and go, but Sarah Sanders is HEADS above the rest!

So, my fellow Deplorables, we can all relax for a while. Sarah will be around a bit longer to make us smile when she puts those crazy reporters in their place with her classic style.

BREAKING: Kim Jung-un Makes a Surprise Announcement

By Linda L Barton

With the success of the Singapore Summit between President Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jun-un, we’ve all had hopes this will lead to a nuclear-free North Korea. While those on the left are doing EVERYTHING, they can to downplay the success of this meeting between the two leaders, those of us who see the full picture are thrilled to see something finally happening to end the threat of a nuclear North Korea.

Earlier today the North Korean state news confirmed that Kim Jong Un has officially accepted President Trump’s invitation to visit Washington, DC. This means even more peace talks will take place in the near future.

#BREAKING Kim accepts Trump's invitation to visit US, says KCNA pic.twitter.com/inxPV5Kntj

— AFP news agency (@AFP) June 12, 2018

During remarks with Kim Jong Un on June 12th, President Trump told reporters the two leaders would continue to work on the issues dividing the nations.

“We will solve it,” Trump said. “We will be successful, and I look forward to working on it with you.”

With the howls from liberals about how President Trump gave away everything to make a deal with Kim Jung-un, it looks as though things are continuing to move toward the goal laid out at the summit. The fact that President Trump was able to get the three Americans released, the destruction of a missile testing site, and one thing that doesn’t get much attention; the returning of the remains of our soldiers killed during the war, President Trump has accomplished much more than anyone expected.

Of course, liberals have done everything they can to cast a wet blanket on the success of the summit.

While people praises Trump for the summit that wasn’t a summit but more of a photo op, I want us to take a minute to think of Otto Warmbier’s parents. As the President of The United States gives a thumbs up to the man responsible for the murder of their son. pic.twitter.com/jCEFrIMgP9

— Michelle Bhasin (@michellebhasin) June 12, 2018

President Trump has even mentioned the death of American prisoner, Otto Warmbier at the hands of his North Korean captures as a driving force for the summit. While those on the left had hoped they would reject the President’s caring gesture, the opposite has happened.

Statement from Fred and Cindy Warmbier, the parents of Otto Warmbier: “We appreciate President Trump's recent comments about our family. We are proud of Otto and miss him. Hopefully something positive can come from this.”

— Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) June 12, 2018

Wow, President Trump Shared this Video with Kim Jung-un at their Meeting

By Linda L Barton

We’ve all heard how President Trump is a master at dealing with difficult people. However, this was a BRILLIANT move to take when facing North Korea’s leader Kim Jung-un. Sometimes, a visual is just what’s needed to drive home an important point.

Is this why smiles were shared between the two men? Is Kim Jung-un ready to join the nations of the world and put his past behind him? I sure hope so.

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

By Linda L Barton

It’s been said when President Trump spoke with former President Obama after the election, Obama told President Trump, “North Korea is a mess, here you go.” I’m paraphrasing, of course.

Well, to be honest, that was an understatement. North Korea was a powder-keg about to explode.

Many had wondered how a former businessman would handle such a difficult international problem. Well, in no time it became clear. President Trump would NOT back down and allow Kim Jung-un to bully the US or its friends in the region.

The NK leader wasted no time in testing President Trump’s resolve. He threatened a nuclear attack against our forces in Guam, our friends in Japan, and he even went on to say he’d nuke our western coastline. Yep, Kim Jung-un was feeling his cheerios after eight years of President Obama and his weak-kneed, kneeling to world leaders, and groveling at the feet of tyrants around the world. However, NOTHING could have prepared him for President Donald J. Trump!

President Trump is not one to let a threat stand unanswered. When Kim Jung bragged about his nuclear button, President Trump claimed that he had a button too, but his is bigger and works. Ya just gotta LOVE that comeback.

Then, of course, the comment about how he wouldn’t say Kim Jung-un was fat. That one was priceless. Also, the Rocketman nickname was too funny.

With this back and forth between the two leaders, the liberal media, never-Trumpers, and even some of those who claim to support President Trump, cringed and said President Trump being unpresidential. Well, yesterday was proof that President Trump knew full well what he was doing.

In the interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, President Trump explained his reasoning for taking such drastic measures:

There you have it, my fellow Deplorables. Sometimes you have to roll around in the mud to subdue the squealing piglet. President Trump understands that you have to handle certain people harsher to get them to come around to your way of thinking.

Good job, President Trump. I’m behind you 100%!

Another Promise Kept and History Made!

By Linda L Barton

While the Leftist Media is twisting themselves into knots over the meeting yesterday with President Trump and NK Leader Kim Jung-un, those of us who love freedom are celebrating. President Trump has done it again… another promise kept!

I realize that we need to wait and see if Kim Jung-un will follow through on his promise, but I have a good feeling about this. President Trump is a master of the deal. I believe he was able to show the NK leader it’s best to go down in history as a man FOR the people of his country.

North Korea is a dying country. Its people are starving. Heck, Kim Jung-un didn’t even have the money for his flight and hotel room, China had to pay his bill.

When you hear President Trump speak about the beachfront property in North Korea and how condos would look great, it lets you know that he presented the same idea to Kim Jung-un. What better way to build your country’s wealth than to open it up for commerce.

So, with lots of fanfare, the two leaders sat side-by-side and signed an agreement between the two countries.

The signing of this agreement is the first crucial step to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Wow, and the naysayers said President Trump had NO IDEA what he was doing.

Here is a highlight of what was in that agreement:

 “President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un conducted a comprehensive, in-depth, and sincere exchange of opinions on the issues related to the establishment of new U.S. – DPRK relations and the building of a lasting and robust peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DRPK, and Chairman Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to COMPLETE DENUCLEARIZATION of the Korean Peninsula.”

Wow, isn’t that amazing? I believe Kim Jung-un saw the ‘writing on the wall’ and decided if he wanted to survive as the North Korean leader he better make some major changes. I’m sure that’s why he got rid of the three Generals that had served under his father.

So, my fellow Deplorables, as those on the left squirm and complain, I for one, am so PROUD of President Trump and his ability to do what most considered impossible. He has brought the North Korean leader to the table and began a dialogue that could lead to a new era of peace for those in that part of the world. Good job, President Trump. YOU ROCK!!

Virginia Governor McAuliffe Plans for Felon Voting Slapped Down

By Linda L Barton

Democrats are ALWAYS trying to find a way to cheat the voting system. From registering DEAD voters to giving illegals a driver’s license so they can vote or pad the voter rolls; Democrats seem willing to try anything to win elections.

The latest trick was done by Democrat Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe. He figured one way to help the Democrats win in his state would be to allow felons to vote. Now, I’m not saying that I’m against someone getting a second chance, BUT I do have a problem if it’s done in a way that is against our constitution.

Fox News reported that Virginia’s highest court ruled on Friday the Democrat governor overstepped his authority and should not have allowed tens of thousands of felons the right to vote.

In a 4-3 decision, the high court ordered the state to cancel the registration of roughly 11,300 felons who signed up to vote after McAuliffe’s April 2016 executive order. His ruling allowed many felons to vote in the 2016 presidential election, which happened to be a state Hillary Clinton won.

House Speaker William Howell and Senate Majority Leader Thomas Norment called the ruling a huge victory for the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law:

“Our nation was founded on the principles of limited government and separation of powers. Those principles have once again withstood assault from the executive branch. This opinion is a sweeping rebuke of the governor’s unprecedented assertion of executive authority.”

Unfortunately, the voting rights will not be immediately canceled. The state will remove the rights of the more than 200,000 felons periodically.

McAuliffe’s had ordered the voting rights restored to criminal offenders who had already completed their sentences. By doing this, his order allowed them to become a public notary, serve on a jury, and even run for public office.

McAuliffe, who has been a top ally to Clinton and campaigned with her in the 2016 presidential election, came under fire last month when an admitted pedophile and convicted felon announced he would be running for state office. The felon was legally eligible to run for public office because of McAuliffe’s order. I guess that’s over now… whew!

However, it doesn’t end there. You see, another felon who wants to legalize incest in Virginia is also eligible to run for public office because of McAuliffe. The sicko stated that he not only wanted to ban incest, but he also said publicly that he wanted to have sex with his own daughter.  No kidding, you just can’t make this stuff up. I don’t know about you, but I’m about to be sick.

So, I guess this is the face of the Democrat Party today:

If you’re an illegal alien, they love you and will give you the keys to the nation.

If you’re a Muslim ‘refugee’, they will bring you and your many wives here, set you up and force Americans to bow to your wishes.

If you’re a Porn Star, they will hold you up as a hero for the downtrodden against the big mean President.

If you are a lazy, no-good, man-child or welfare Mom with several baby-daddies, they will say you are entitled to freeload off the American taxpayer.

Of course, we can’t forget that you’re entitled to destroy all social rules if you don’t agree. If you want to be a girl one day and a boy the next, that’s your right. If you want to marry your dog or cat, hey, that’s okay. Also, if you want to have sex with a child, that’s just fine as long as you’re a Democrat.

I don’t know about you, but I find the Democrat Party has lost its soul. Maybe they want that sort of country, but I sure as HELL don’t!

And on a side note, for those Democrats bitching and crying that President Trump is destroying our Democracy. Sorry, but the United States of America is a REPUBLIC!! Big difference! A Republic saves the individual from the mob. The Founders understood that fact. It’s time we reminded the Democrats!

President Trump takes on the G7 Crowd

By Linda L Barton

Sometimes NO words are needed, and a picture taken at the G7 summit in Canada speaks volumes.

We all know several world leaders do not appreciate President Trump’s style of governing.  His no-holds-barred, America First way of negotiating is something they are not accustomed to from an American President in recent history.

However, that’s exactly why we voted for him, and this picture shows just what I mean.

Check out the smirk on President Trump's face. I can’t stop laughing. It looks like an old-fashioned stare-down, and I bet President Trump wasn’t the first to blink either.

Well, there you have it, my fellow Deplorables. President Trump is clearly showing those Progressive World Leaders that he doesn’t care what they want. It’s time they realize they are no longer dealing with Obama. President Trump is a true leader. He loves this country, and he will only make deals that benefit THIS country.

Democrats Make a Frightening Promise

By Linda L Barton

November is fast approaching which means freedom loving Americans will need to get out in LARGE numbers to stop the Democrats from regaining control of the House and Senate. It’s no secret what they plan to do if given the change. Not only will they waste NO time in trying to impeach President Trump, but they will open our southern border wide for MILLIONS of illegals to come here like a massive tidal wave, they will also gleefully raise our taxes.

This week, Congressional Democrats released a detailed tax hike plan they promised to pass if given majority control of the House and Senate. The Democrats now seem to have a problem with the deficit. We’ve all heard them go on and on about President Trump’s excessive spending and only helping the wealthy with his tax cut bill. Yeah, I know, I find that quite amusing too. LOL

President Trump holds up the tax bill after signing it in the Oval Office on Dec. 22, 2017

So, how do the Democrats say they want to reduce the debt and pay for their pet projects? You got it, through raising our taxes.

Here’s what they plan to do:

Increase the top marginal income tax rate from 37 percent to 39.6 percent. This nearly 3 percentage point increase in the top personal rate is not only a hike in the top bracket levy, but it's also a direct tax increase on small and mid-sized businesses.

Increase the corporate income tax rate from 21 percent to 25 percent. Up until this year, the United States labored under the highest corporate income tax rate in the developed world.

Bring back the alternative minimum tax (AMT) for 4 million families. Up until this year, 4 million upper-middle-class families had to calculate their income taxes two different ways, and then pay the higher result.

Cut the "death tax" standard deduction in half. Over the past few decades, no tax has proven more unpopular in every single poll than the death tax, the federal tax on estates. 60 to 70 percent of poll respondents consistently call for its full repeal. The new tax law didn't repeal the death tax, but it did the next best thing--it doubled the death tax's "standard deduction" from $5.5 million to $11 million (and twice that for surviving spouses). As a result, far fewer family businesses and farms will be subject to the death tax, and many smaller firms can shed the costly insurance, legal, and actuarial costs of avoiding the death tax.

I don’t know about you, but their plan would destroy all the great things President Trump has achieved since he took the helm. We cannot allow that to happen. Educate your friends about what the Democrats plan to do. Share posts like this with everyone on social media. We cannot allow the Democrats to turn back to clock to the Obama America-Last era.

President Trump Lays Down the Challenge

By Linda L Barton

Wow, President Trump has done it again. While speaking to the press on his way out of the White House to Marine One this morning for his trip to Canada, he spoke of his reason for doing his latest pardons. However, he told of an idea that will surely make those in the NFL take notice.

He was speaking of granting pardons to those in sports when he suddenly announced his idea of challenging those players in the NFL who are taking a knee to tell him the names of those they know of who they believe have been treated unfairly by the justice system. He said he and his staff would go over each case provided and decide which ones should be granted a pardon or have their sentence commuted.

WOW, talk about a wonderful idea. 

Let's see if the protesting players will take President Trump up on his gracious offer. As it's said, "The ball is in their hands now."

The Slow Steady Death of San Francisco

By Linda L Barton

We’ve all heard Democrats proclaim that President Trump and those who support him do not care about the poor and homeless here in the USA. We are forced to listen to the likes of Pelosi and Schumer ramble on about how President Trump has made life worse for the average American through his massive tax cut bill. However, what they aren’t saying is it’s only happening in DEMOCRAT run cities.

As a former Californian, I’ve always thought it was a beautiful state. The state has just about everything you could want. The regal Red Woods, the beautiful view along the Pacific Coastal Hwy, the endless miles of orchards and fields growing yummy food in the center of the state, the Sierra Mountains along its eastern border, and all the way down to sunny Southern California. I never thought I would leave, BUT something happened to that once great state… Democrats.

We’ve all watched on News Reports how homelessness has hit California. Now, I’m not saying they was not a problem before. Unfortunately, now, it seems to have grown to an uncontrollable level. Tent cities are popping up all over the place in California. What’s even more distressing is many of these Tent Cities are NOT full of drug addicts and criminals. Nope, many have families who can no longer afford the expensive housing in California.

This is what brings me to the topic of this post; San Francisco, a once beautiful city. Heck, whenever I think of the song, I left my heart in San Francisco by Tony Bennet. I wonder what lyrics it would have today?

Let’s take a closer look at San Francisco, one of the nation's wealthiest and most cultured cities and how it came to have so many people living on its streets…

San Francisco has been declared one of the world’s filthiest slums. In fact, it has conditions dirtier than the slums found in third world nations such as Kenya or India. Just how dirty are the streets of San Francisco, you ask? Well, imagine drug needles, garbage, and feces throughout downtown San Francisco. 153 blocks of the city which is more than a 20-mile stretch that includes popular tourist spots like Union Square and major hotel chains are covered with the filth mentioned above. This area is bordered by Van Ness Avenue, Market Street, Post Street and Grant Avenue. The City Hall, schools, playgrounds, and a police station are also in that area. It’s sad when great swathes of the city are covered in feces and needles. So much so that hospitals overflow with patients that have fallen ill due to the contamination.

One frightening story was how nearly a dozen hypodermic needles scattered across a one block area was seen by a group of preschool students as they walked by on their way to an afternoon field trip to City Hall. YIKES!!!

“We see poop, we see pee, we see needles, and we see trash,” said teacher Adelita Orellana. “Sometimes they ask what is it, and that’s a conversation that’s a little difficult to have with a 2-year old, but we just let them know those things are full of germs, they are dangerous, and they should never be touched.”

As a parent and grandmother, I cannot image young ones being subjected to such awful things. Children should not have to worry about stepping on discarded needles and human waste on their walk to school.

What’s even more frightening is dried feces can lead to airborne viruses!

“If you do get stuck with these disposed needles you can get HIV, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B, and a variety of other viral diseases,” said Dr. Lee Riley, an infectious disease expert at University of California, Berkeley. He warned that once fecal matter dries, it can become airborne, releasing potentially dangerous viruses, such as the rotavirus. “If you happen to inhale that, it can also go into your intestine.”

The results can prove fatal, especially in children. Riley has researched the conditions across the poorest slums of the world. His book titled, “Slum Health,” examines health problems that are created by extreme poverty.

Riley went on to say, “The contamination is much greater than communities in Brazil or Kenya or India.” He states in those countries slum dwellings are often long-term homes for families in which there is an attempt to make them more livable. However, the homeless communities in San Francisco are often forced out from one part of town to relocate to another. The result is extreme contamination.

So, why is this happening in this wealthy Democratically run city? I thought Democrats were for the little guy. While claiming to want equal rights for illegals and opening their city as a Sanctuary city, San Francisco has forgotten the average American. If you take a close look at Democrat-run cities all over the country, you can see the same thing happening.

Tent cities are popping up all over the place. People are being forced from of their homes by high state and local taxes. Heck, even California Governor Moon-Beam is contemplating putting a tax on drinking water, along with limiting the amount a family can use per day. What’s next, a tax on air?? Damn, maybe I shouldn’t have said that because I wouldn’t want to give him any ideas.

Lombard Street in San Francisco

So, I guess the days of strolling the streets of the once beautiful city of San Francisco are a thing of the past. Now, it’s a city of poverty, waste, and lost hope.

I’m sure many on the left would LOVE to blame this on President Trump, but that will never fly. They have NO ONE but themselves to blame. Whenever a Democrat politician talks about equality, what they’re actually saying is EQUAL SUFFERING FOR ALL… except, of course, for them.
