Trump described Hillary as a ‘puppet’.

As it might possibly have escaped your notice, I’m informing you that we are sadly, living in a nation that has had its American-English language re-defined by that brilliant linguist, Barackus Hooz-insane Obummer.  This faux-educated charlatan-buffoon has taken it upon himself to re-define many long-established terms and has turned them upside down to mean something far afield from the original definitions that have appeared in print in widely-accepted dictionaries for so many decades.

Recently, during what has laughingly been called, ‘The Last Debate’, Trump described Hillary as a ‘puppet’.

Permit me to role-play as the ‘Great Re-definer-in-Chief for just a moment.  I would submit this re-definition of ‘puppet’ in Hillary’s case as,  ‘POOP-ette’.   Are there any questions?

The “Pinocchio Syndrome”

The fictional character named Pinocchio, by Italian writer Carlo Collodi (1883), is a symbol of a person having a short nose that gets larger under stress, especially when lying. The more lies, the bigger the nose.

When certain people, who seem to be addicted to lying, is it fair to say that they are part of a “Pinocchio Syndrome”? Hillary Clinton has bragged that she is one of the most transparent and honest politicians ever to have run for office. Do you believe that? This is not a recent evaluation of her penchant for telling lies. Back in 1996, the late N.Y. Times prize-winning columnist, William Safire, labeled her a “congenital liar”. Now 20 years later, that label seems to have been validated, especially since the recent F.B.I. report listed at least 6 times she didn't tell the truth when being questioned by the F.B.I.

Hillary's latest health problem at the 9/11 ceremony was focused on her physical problems, but another problem, in addition to her feinting spell, is her “inveterate lying” about her condition, is also equally troubling to discerning people. Even a fawning news media, who supports Hillary Clinton, with a passion, are getting antsy about her constant lying and lack of transparency. Even a partisan Democrat like David Axelrod, President Obama's political guru, has said that Hillary's quest for absolute privacy, is causing her to lose support from the voting public.

The old saying of “honesty is the best disinfectant” doesn't seem to enter Hillary's psyche. Even when it has been proven that what she claimed is not true, instead of being contrite and apologetic, she doubles down and repeats the same discredited lies. Might that be called a personality flaw? Would that also validate the charge that she is a “congenital liar”?

In recent years, Hillary Clinton seems to put foot in her mouth over and over again, and yet she has a sizable contingent of toadies who will overlook her penchant for lying, and support her no matter what damaging information comes out about her untruthfulness. It seems that the (D) Democrat symbol is all that counts to a faithful Democrat and that integrity takes a back seat to moral outrage.

It seems like the Hillary Clinton campaign has decided that they don't want to emphasize the “dismal” results of the Obama administration these past 8 years, but will attempt to marginalize and demonize Trump as being incompetent, a racist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, a sexist, and other personal epithets. She also has attacked the Trump supporters as being un-American. Will she succeed or will the majority of voters realize that personal attacks doesn't solve their pressing problems related to the economy and national security?

So, if Hillary Clinton seems to be addicted to lying, would it be fair to put her actions into the “Pinocchio Syndrome” category? From all her verbal gaffes and obfuscations, she turns that phrase that “truth is stranger than fiction” on its head to change it to “fiction is stranger than truth”, and she does it with a straight face, thinking that the “deplorable” people (Trump supporters) and others are too stupid to figure her out. She might just get the surprise of her life on Nov. 8th. Let's hope so!

What has this got to do with anything?

The Clinton team shook the beams and a slew of lackeys
came out of the wood work, accusing Donald Trump of
improper behavior, to support their smear campaign against
him and conservatism.

Ambulance chaser Gloria Allred conveniently appeared
with composed dialogue for her latest meal ticket to read,
properly coached for effect, that she was one of the recipients
of Trump's amateurish behavior.

Donald Trump should have consulted a pro like Bill Clinton, to
show him how it should really be done.

"Tell me again, what has this got to do with anything?" My
country is falling apart, along with the rest of the world and
the media is devoting their time and space on salacious
dribble.

I have to look hard to get news about deleted emails from
Hillary Clinton's bleached unauthorized private server after
a court subpoena was violated, ordering her to produce them
before a Congressional inquiry.

We are now compelled to rely on WikiLeaks for the nefarious
activity by the Clinton campaign and its tie to the
administration, against opposition to their socialistic
agendas that will continue the damage done to the
country for the last eight years.

Conservative column from George Giftos

What's at Stake - The Supreme Court, that's What!

Whether you supported Donald Trump in the primaries or not, the main thrust of your vote in November should be - will that Republican candidate, Donald Trump, support nominees for the Supreme Court who will interpret the law (as written in the Constitution), and not make the law? He has said he would and has presented a list of possible nominees, all “constitutional originalists”.

Coming up during the next administration will be 3 or possibly 4 openings to fill vacancies on the Supreme Court. If you elect, as president, someone who will appoint activist judges, who will tend to have a “progressive” interpretation of the Constitution, then you can expect to see a wholesale change to our society as we know it.

The Supreme Court, as it is currently made up, is broken into two groups - half liberal and half conservative, with Justice Anthony Kennedy being the swing vote. Although, from recent decisions of the Supreme Court, some supposedly “conservative” judges like Chief Justice John Roberts, have voted for policies that tended to fall on the radical left (ex: Obamacare decision calling “fees” a tax). Chief Justice Roberts was a George W. Bush appointee who was considered a conservative nominee when confirmed, but seemed to have strayed from that designation when he ruled on the Obamacare question. That decision went against the prevailing opinion of legal constitutional scholars and the citizens at large.

If the Democrats retain the White House, you can expect potential nominees to make decisions, if confirmed, who will promote the far-left agenda as personified by the four liberal judges now sitting on the Supreme Court (i.e. Kagan, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Ginsberg). That will give them the majority on the court.

The Republican candidate. Donald Trump, has promised that he will appoint and support Supreme Court nominees who will interpret the Constitution and who will not try to circumvent it by “legislating” from the bench. That must be taken into consideration when determining who you will vote for in November 2016. It is that cut and dry.

So, forget all the petty attacks by the candidates on each other, and try to visualize what our country will become if we have more (a majority) progressive (a/k/a liberal, Democrat) judges confirmed to the Supreme Court? Our society will be turned on its head, and not for the better.

This admonition goes for those Republicans and Conservatives who said they will not vote for Trump because their candidate did not get the Republican nomination or who don't like the persona of Donald Trump. Doing that would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face. If that mind set prevails, and a Democrat is elected, you, who will vote for Hillary or who will sit out the election, will have no one to blame but yourself if the prevailing opinion of the Supreme Court becomes a majority liberal court.

Elections do have consequences, so make it your mind to support the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, through the democratic process. Our country is at stake, so don't blow it by harboring petty differences and not getting out to vote.

So you can see, a lot is at stake if we want our traditions and laws interpreted by judges who will follow the Constitution as it was written. Our children and grandchildren are depending on your vote.

God Bless America! VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP!

    Hey, hey.  It’s Today!

Yesterday we looked forward with great anticipation to the near future and what it would hold for us - the opportunities for positive changes that this new day might bring.  

Well, Happy Day and hey, hey, it’s Today –  it’s here. And, what do we find?  We find that it is still up to us to identify possible  opportunities and it is still up to us to create and facilitate  the changes we desire in difficult or seemingly insoluble situations.  Damn. Change is still up to that image we see in our mirror. But now, we’ve lost another 24 hours in the process, while waiting and hoping for change to happen.

We watch the news in our newspapers and on our TVs and wonder at the same old, same old.  We are appalled at what is going on in the world around us and we are distressed to the max by the disasters that are befalling our country with each loud tick of the clock. How can all this be happening to us, here in this exceptional nation?  Who is minding the store while we watch ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and ‘Family Feud’?  Obama & his pals in the lunatic world of radical, vicious Islam – that’s who.  

Sorry to rattle your cage, my friends.  But, in case you hadn’t noticed, over the past 7.5 years under the Obama regime, we are no longer the nation of proud, courageous fighters who won WWII.  That ‘’Greatest Generation’ is over the hill and nearly gone.  The United States is no longer the, ‘Home of the Brave’. We’ve become a population that is unabashedly, the ’Soft and the Stupid’.  And why is this the case? Simple:

We’ve taken our eye off the ball.  We’ve forgotten that Freedom demands active participation in the operation & function of our Government.  When we leave it to chance, we get the control freaks -‘Obama, Hillary & Kerry who hate and openly despise the Constitution. They cannot abide the freedoms it affords to every individual and they abhor the limits it places on Central Government.  But, most of all, they cannot stand the limits it places on elected officials and on control freaks such as they are. They are in fact, so delusional and so blind to reality, that they dangerously toy with accommodation to the lunacy of Islam’s Shariah.  They seem oblivious to all the horrors of such crippling corruption.  They seem unaware of the hallmarks that define them as anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anti-American miscreants.  And . . We ignore all this at our very real peril.
