Donald Trump dividing America and Distroying the Republican Party

Donald J Trump

Donald Trump is spreading hate stoking fear and anger in America by unearthing old dogmas disrespecting long lived traditions Americans hold dear. Mr Trump introduced himself to Americas Political theatre by calling Mexican Americans in the United States Rapist and Drug Dealers. Muslims Mr Trump argued hated America discounting the millions of Muslims who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending the right of Americans here and abroad.

Taking back our country", how many times have we heard that?, since Barack Obama was elected President some people including Donald Trump believe Barack Obama is an illegitimate President. The anger and protest we see at Donald Trump rallies has absolutely nothing to do with Jobs and low income. If that was the case "People would be mad at Donald Trump for refusing to increase the minimum wage and importing immigrants to work in his hotels". 

Donald Trump and 66% of the people who follow him believe President Barack Obama is not a US citizen that is what the anger is about, how shameful. When Donald Trump had the opportunity to create Jobs in America Mr Trump like most unscrupulous American Corporations moved the manufacturing of his apparels to China and Vietnam. Mr Trump sells Shirts, Ties, suits, Socks underwear and other kinds of apparel all made in foreign manufacturing plants.

Thanks to seven Democrats - Debo Adegbile Voted down

Weak Democrats 

The Democrats who opposed Adegbile’s confirmation are Sens. Bob Casey (D-PA), Chris Coons (D-DE), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Mark Pryor (D-AR) and John Walsh (D-MT).

Debo Adegbile previously served as the acting head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, he is one of the nation’s top civil rights attorneys is a leading expert on voting rights who twice defended the voting rights Act before the Supreme Court the first time successfully. He is the ideal candidate to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division the division which, among other things, oversees the federal government’s voting rights work in an era where conservative state lawmakers are currently waging a widespread campaign to prevent demographic groups that tend to vote for Democrats from casting a ballot.

These seven Democrats should be held to account for their votes especially at a time when the voting rights act is under fire in several States across the country. Democrats know Sen. Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp are unreliable but our surprise came from Senator Chris Coons who promised to make tough choices in support of freedom his vote was the biggest surprise and a failure to stand with the President and be on the right side of this issue.

Thanks to seven Democrats Debo Adegbile voted down leaving the Civil Rights Division without a leader while the assault from states continue on voting rights.

Dick Cheney Food Stamp hypocrisy

Who Get Food Stamp

Dick Cheney said the president “would much rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops”. Cheney accused  the Obama administration Monday over proposed military spending cuts, insisting that budget cuts would be “absolutely devastating” to the U.S. military and accusing Pres. Barack Obama of preferring welfare to military spending.

Food Stamp Use by State

Dick Cheney is not the first Republican to criticize President Obama over rising food stamp spending, but the Bush Cheney administration oversaw significant growth in enrollment in the food stamp program as well. The number of Americans on food stamps grew by 14.1 million during first five years of Obama’s presidency (2009-2013). When Dick Cheney and George Bush was in office, the number grew by 16.2 million (2001-2009).

Republican Joshua Black

Joshua Black

“I’m past impeachment,” Joshua Black, who is also African American, tweeted on Monday Dr Martin Luther King day. “It’s time to arrest and hang him high.” “I make no apologies for saying that President Obama is not above the People,” he added in his post. “If ordinary Americans should be executed for treason, so should he.”

This Tea Party Republican like most Tea Party Republicans are loud, they have the habit of using words and phrases loosely and in the case of this candidate for the Florida House of representatives Joshua Black have no sense of history. Mr. Black would be well served taking a car ride up to Mississippi find a white family and ask, what does it mean to "hang him high" he should then sit and listen for however long it takes.

Dr Ben Carson

Dr Ben Carson

A son of slavery declare Obamacare is slavery, do you agree? 

Benjamin Solomon "Ben" Carson, Sr., (born September 18, 1951) is a retired American neurosurgeon. Among other surgical innovations, Carson did pioneering work on the successful separation of conjoined twins joined at the head. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, by President George W. Bush in 2008. After delivering a widely publicized speech at the February 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, he became a popular figure in conservative media for his views on social issues and the government's role in the health care industry.

Dr. Ben Carson didn't mince words: Obamacare is “the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.” “It is slavery because it aims to make all of us subservient to the government,” he said. “It was never about health care. It was about control.” Is it having control over your health care that Insurance companies cannot deny you coverage as a result of a pre-existing condition.

 When he was eight years old, his parents divorced and he was raised by his mother along with his 10 year old brother Curtis. He struggled throughout elementary school both academically and emotionally with his temper.

Ben Carson Prostate Cancer Pre-existing condition

In June 2002, Dr Ben Carson cut back on his public appearances when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He still operated on more than 300 children a year, but tried to shorten his work days: prior to his cancer he used to work from 7:00 in the morning until 8:00 at night.

Dr Carson has identified himself as being independent of any political party. "If I were part of one, it would be called the 'Logic party,' and it would be dedicated to commonsense approaches we all should be able to see." This would include "recognizing that our debt is so great we have got to stop digging the hole and spend less." Despite largely expressing conservative viewpoints in his National Prayer Breakfast speech, Dr Carson has also expressed some views at odds with conservatives, such as supporting banning semi-automatic weapons in cities

Debt ceiling increase $5.365 trillion or 90 percent under Bush

Republican who voted for debt ceiling increase  

The debt ceiling was raised on seven occasions during President George W. Bush's two terms in office, from $5.95 trillion in 2001 to nearly double that, $11.315 trillion, in 2009 - an increase of $5.365 trillion or 90 percent increase over 8 years.

Under Bush the debt ceiling increased:

    by $450 billion to $6.4 trillion in June 2002;

    and by $700 billion to $11.315 trillion three months later, in October 2008.

Senator Mitch McConnell a Failure.

 “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term President.” McConnell confirmed.

Senator McConnell, I failed to stop Obama.

The one Job I undertook for 4 years I failed at it, to filibuster legislation in the senate is easy I have 46 other republicans to do that for me, I promised to make President Obama a one term President and I failed. Now my promise is to make the American peoples life hell under this President they are the ones who voted for him. No legislation will pass through the senate even the ones I support in practice and I know will help the American people and  Kentucky.

This President must be punished for his success, killing Osama Bin-laden, who dare him to make such a gutsy call even when the military told him of the risk involved, who does he think he is Churchill?. Although we conservative  led by our Governors have tried to stop the economic recovery by laying off State and local Government workers all over the country creating large surplus in State and local Governments Budgets to strangle the job growth, my God the Obama recovery continues. That attorney General Holder blocking every effort Republicans make to suppress the vote in the November 2012 election he will be punished, that will be House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa job to bring him down.    

Those bastards on wall street they promise to hold the reins on the recovery in 2012 so that republicans could win but Greed, wall street greed took over and the stock markets grew leap and bounds they lose all that money they gave us but those wall street bastards didn't mind because they made a lot of money under Obama. Its sad I will still have to support the Banks legislation in congress to kill the Dodd-Frank Bill although I know the Dodd- Frank bill is good for consumers the country and the people in Kentucky. (looking out for my friends in business there is where my bread is buttered need the contributions to finance my re-election campaign). No wonder wall street didn't care about the GOP in 2012, the markets made more money under this Barack Obama Presidency than any other administration in the past.

I know the Banks and broader market is doing fine making money under this President Obama, the problem is those Greedy Bastards on wall street do not want to pay taxes and if the Markets crash again they do not want to be held accountable. Those wall street people do not like regulations although most regulations are good protecting Americans especially the people of Kentucky. I know good regulations could have prevented some of the abuse that brought the market down and prevented the hell the people of Kentucky suffered with foreclosure and loss of employment. I know that! but that's not where my party is right now, I have election next year and I don't want to get primaried, the Tea Party is right over my shoulder.      

Senator Republican Leader Mich McConnell pledged, "My only Job for the next 2 years is to ensure the President is defeated" and here we are no Job Growth and the Economy us close to a double Dip Recession. Over the past 2 Years The Senator and his Republican Cohorts did everything they could Blocking Legislation, rejecting efforts to Stimulate the Economy, refusing to raise the death ceiling, have their Republican Governors in their various States lay off Public sector workers while giving tax break to election campaign donors.

During the recession companies especially in retail have shed enormous number of workers due to increased technology in the workplace. These Jobs are not coming back, Companies Productivity levels are at their highest levels ever and their profits is the highest ever. Hourly paid workers are receiving the worst pay in the past 40 years CEO's salary are the best in history.

Bio Mitch McConnell

Addison Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell, Jr. (born February 20, 1942) is the senior United States Senator from Kentucky. A member of the Republican Party, he has been the Minority Leader of the Senate since January 3, 2007. First elected to that position in 2006, he is the 15th Senate Republican Leader and the second Kentuckian to lead his party in the Senate. 

"Stage III cancer of socialism"

Todd Aiken - Stage 111 Cancer of Socialism

"Most successful industrialized Countries including Israel, India and Germany have pulled themselves ahead the United States in education and training. These Countries they have not allowed their Students to be saddled by Loans and other Debts  rather subsidized their Education up to a first Degree in return for voluntary service".  In America some Politicians advocate students Education should become Pawns of of the Banks before they earn a penny in their profession". 

President Obama removed a part of this extra financial obligation by taking away the Student Loan disbursement from the Banks saving Students $6 Billion Dollars in interest and fees. These actions were seen as a Negative by some Elements of the Republican Party including Representative Todd Aiken referring to the move as, "Stage III cancer of socialism"  as a result of the Presidents action more than 7.4 million students currently hold affordable student loans at a 3.4 percent interest rate.

Rep Todd Akin compared student loans to Stage III cancer: "America has got the equivalent of the Stage III cancer of socialism because the federal government is tampering in all kinds of stuff it has no business tampering in. So, first to answer your question precisely. What the democrats did to get rid of the private student loans and take it all over by the government was wrong. It was a lousy bill. That's why I voted no. The government needs to get its nose out of the education business."

"The Banks should be allowed to participate in students Loan but their rates should be reasonable and affordable. Like the Government the Private sector has a role to play in the Education of our Students and that does not include unreasonable Loan Rates and fees saddling them with long term debts to enrich themselves". 

Are AMERICAN lives expendable to GUN RIGHT?

Sandy Hook Massacre

Lives Expendable to protect Gun Rights

The lives of 6 adult  were snuffed out at the end of a 20 year old shooter, reports are the guns used were owned by the shooters mother, probably a lifetime member of the NRA the organisation representing that having guns no matter how many bullets they carry should be in the hands of every citizen it is our right. 

The other five adult is yet to be determined what their position on the right to bear harm stand. Mental illness is again used as an excuse for these killings, exactly where the NRA want this conversation to take place. Did I also mention 20 Babies were also killed even then only 53% of Americans support legislation to control automatic weapons while 87% support the right to bear arms!

“In his first term,” Mr. Romney said, “ we've seen the president try to browbeat the Supreme Court. In a second term, he would remake it. Our freedoms would be in the hands of an Obama court, not just for four years, but for the next 40. That must not happen.”

Mr. Romney, who was introduced by his wife, Ann, received a standing ovation after his speech, though in the cavernous downtown dome where audience members filled only the floor, not the stands, the sound was subdued.

Drumbeat to war!, we will be greeted as liberators. Dick Cheney

Q: Do you think the American people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with significant American casualties?. 

We will be greeted as liberators.

Q: Mr. Russert: If your analysis is not correct, and we're not treated as liberators, but as conquerors, and the Iraqis begin to resist, particularly in Baghdad, do you think the American people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with significant American casualties?

Vice President Cheney: I don't think it's likely to unfold that way, Tim (Tim Russert), because, I really do believe that we will be greeted as liberators. I've talked with a lot of Iraqis in the last several months myself, had them to the White House. The president (President George W Bush)and I have met with them, various groups and individuals, people who have devoted their lives from the outside to trying to change things inside Iraq. And like Kanan Makiya who's a professor at Brandeis, but an Iraqi, he's written great books about the subject, knows the country intimately, and is a part of the democratic opposition and resistance. 

The read we get on the people of Iraq is there is no question but what they want to the get rid of Saddam Hussein and they will welcome as liberators the United States when we come to do that.

The reality of it all is Vice President Richard Cheney and President George W Bush could not have been more wrong. The answers Dick Cheney gave to Tim Russert were later proven to be figments of Dick Cheney's imagination on the Drumbeat to war in Iraq. The interview with Dick Cheney by Tim Russert was one of few serious penetrating inquisition by the press truly examining the consequences if the prediction my the Bush administration turn sour and they did.

 A total of 4,486 U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2012, The war has killed at least 134,000 Iraqi civilians and may have contributed to the deaths of as many as four times that number, according to the Costs of War Project by the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University.

The U.S. war in Iraq has cost $1.7 trillion with an additional $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans, expenses that could grow to more than $6 trillion over the next four decades counting interest

Exerts meet the Press, March 16 2003

Seeking a Scandal to bring down a President!

Bengazi!

In the month before attackers stormed U.S. facilities in Benghazi and killed four Americans, U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens twice turned down offers of security assistance made by the senior U.S. military official in the region in response to concerns that Stevens had raised in a still secret memorandum, two government officials told McClatchy.

US Facility in Benghazi, a Country at war

Army Gen. Carter Ham, then the head of the U.S. Africa Command, did not wait for the separate cable, however. Instead, after reading the Aug. 16 cable, Ham phoned Stevens and asked if the embassy needed a special security team from the U.S. military. Stevens told Ham it did not, the officials said. 

“He didn't say why. He just turned it down,”

Officials have publicly referred to Ham’s phone call before. In his Feb. 7 testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the military was aware of the Aug. 16 cable and that someone had turned down Ham’s offer.

“As far as Mr. Hicks knows, the ambassador always wanted more security and they were both frustrated by not getting it,” she said.

Some Republican lawmakers expressed surprise when told that Stevens had turned down such an offer.

Ambassador Christopher Stevens was by all account was a good man, will be remembered by the people of Libya for his efforts in bringing some semblance of order after the fall of the Qaddafi government. Chris Stevens will also be remembered by the citizens of the United States for his service as an ambassador and public service.

US Embassy in a peaceful Nation.

It is most important that we take lesson learned from the tragedy in Bengazi, Ambassadors and those the United States in foreign Nations cannot on their own determine when security is sufficient when and where, this is not a case of cowboy diplomacy but why did an ambassador refuse additional security at such a dangerous time?. In the future ambassadors must be guided by those security assessment and recommendations made by agencies deemed to carry out those tasks.

"Its all About PRESIDENT Barack OBAMA in the White House"

Obama's Election Night Phone Calls To Rep. John Boehner And Sen. Mitch McConnell Went Unanswered Because They Were Sleeping.  

Election 2012 President elect and Family

It is necessary to reintroduce the President on the united States to the world and the conservatives, Tea Party members and disgruntled republicans who still cannot believe Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States. It is also important to remind these groups of people Barack Obama was re-elected by the American people popular vote in a national election on t Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Importantly Barack Obama received 65,910,437 or 51.1% of the popular vote, Obama won 332 electoral votes he only needed 270 electoral votes to be President. Barack Obama is our President a fact that Congressional Republicans will soon better come to grips with.

Americans are waiting for congress to Govern, the time for "pussyfooting around is over" accept the fact that President Barack Obama does belong in the White House and like all other Presidents and their Family should enjoy honor of the home that office.

Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States, the first African American to hold the office of President. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004, running unsuccessfully for the United States House of Representatives in 2000.

President Barack Obama does belong in the White House

Obama's Election Night Phone Calls To Rep. John Boehner And Sen. Mitch McConnell Went Unanswered Because They Were Sleeping.  In November 2012, The New York Times reported that following his election night victory speech, "Mr. Obama tried to call both Mr. Boehner and the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, but was told they were asleep."  [The New York Times, 11/7/12]

President Barack Obama with 4 other Presidents

Congressional Republicans Were "Too Busy" To Accept Obama's Invitation To A Bipartisan Leadership Meeting.  In November 2010, The Wall Street Journal reported: "After congressional Republicans said this week that they were too busy to accept President Barack Obama's invitation to a bipartisan leadership meeting today, the White House without fanfare announced the meeting had been postponed until Nov. 30 to accommodate the GOP's schedule." [The Wall Street Journal, 11/18/10] 

President Barack Obama gracious to his opponent.

Mitt Romney Was The First Losing Presidential Candidate Not To Attend Inauguration Since 1989. In January 2013, The Huffington Post reported that "an aide told NBC News that Romney was at his beach home in La Jolla, Calif., during Obama's inauguration. While Romney reportedly had 'no big plans,' the aide said it was "doubtful" that Romney would watch the ceremony. Romney was the first losing presidential candidate not to attend the inauguration since Michael Dukakis in 1989." [The Huffington Post, 1/24/13]

Nothing is better than a family in the white house.

In June 1989, Obama met Michelle Robinson when he was employed as a summer associate at the Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin. Assigned for three months as Obama's adviser at the firm, Robinson joined him at group social functions, but declined his initial requests to date.They began dating later that summer, became engaged in 1991, and were married on October 3, 1992. The couple's first daughter, Malia Ann, was born on July 4, 1998, followed by a second daughter, Natasha ("Sasha"), on June 10, 2001.The Obama daughters attended the private University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. When they moved to Washington, D.C., in January 2009, the girls started at the private Sidwell Friends School.The Obama's have a Portuguese Water Dog named Bo, a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy.

"This is the guy who tried to kill my dad."

President George W Bush on Iraq War , "I have No Regrets".

President George W. Bush, Discussing the threat posed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Bush said,

 "After all, this is the guy who tried to kill my dad." 

10/29/2001, Michael Leeden, American Enterprise Institute,

"Just wage a total war against these tyrants; I think we will do very well and our children will sing great songs about us years from now."

10/7/2002, George W. Bush, President,

"The Iraqi regime . . . possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons. We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."

09/18/2002,  Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense (before Congress):

"We do know that the Iraqi regime has chemical and biological weapons. His regime has amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of chemical weapons -- including VX, sarin, cyclosarin and mustard gas. ... His regime has amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of biological weapons—including anthrax and botulism toxin, and possibly smallpox." (presentation to Congress)

 11/01/2002, George W. Bush, President,

"... for the sake of protecting our friends and allies, the United States will lead a mighty coalition of freedom-loving nations and disarm Saddam Hussein. See, I can't imagine what was going through the mind of this enemy when they hit us. They probably thought the national religion was materialism, that we were so selfish and so self-absorbed that after 9/11/2001 this mighty nation would take a couple of steps back and file a lawsuit.

 03/16/2003, Dick Cheney, Vice President,

"My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly, . . . [in] weeks rather than months."

The reasons for the Iraq war remain a serious question in Americans mind, closure is still a long way decades away from the Iraq real effect on the United States and the world at large. The immediate effect of over 4000 lives lost, the increasing thousands and thousands of injuries to our troops and their long term or life time care. A financial cost that will reach closer to 2.5 Trillion Dollars on the United States Credit Card creating deficits for the foreseeable future.

Of all the statements above on the reason for the war only one has so far proven to be true, the question is, did our Political leaders lie and take this country to war?.  

The Angry Old John McCain

After President Obama addressed the nation from the White House, former presidential campaign opponent Sen. John McCain delivered a blistering critique of the President.

“ I've been around this town for a number of years, and as is well know, had an interest in the Presidency more than academic”, McCain said as he began. John McCain noted that his perch as a lawmaker has afforded him a chance to see several presidents handle national moments of crisis.

“As I watched other presidents address crises, the way that they were able to resolve them and resolve them with presidential leadership".

“So what did the president of the United States just do? Well, he made a couple of jokes, laughed about how people are going to be here for New Year’s, and sent a message of confrontation to the Republicans".“ I guess I have to wonder!

McCain-Hotheaded

"The thought of [McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me." - Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi), the Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Republican Leadership In Confusion 3/23/2013

Chairman Reince Priebus

“This is not my report,” Republican National Committee chief Reince Priebus told reporters, describing the contents as simply recommendations by a five person panel, even though he was the person who had commissioned the self-audit after the party lost a second consecutive presidential election last fall.

The idea was to develop a road map for a new, more inclusive party that would attract minority voters, support immigration reform and embrace “welcoming and inclusive” attitudes on gay rights.

“There’s not unanimity even among Hispanics as to what the exact immigration overhaul would look like". 

He made the comments immediately after declaring Monday “day one” of the party’s push to change perceptions the audit uncovered that the Republicans are “narrow minded,” unwilling to grant other people social rights or to accept other viewpoints narrow-minded

 people who feared social change.> “out of touch” and “stuffy old men.”

“The perception that we’re the party of the rich unfortunately continues to grow,” Priebus said as he released the report, drawn up by panelists with ties to “big-tent” Republicans who have long favored more inclusive policies opposed by ideological purists.

Luke 6:24-25 – “But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
