Should Trump have Attended a Black Christian Church?

Heavens Yes. The Christian Church is a very vital and influential component of the American society. The Black Christian church is a very vital and influential component of American Christianity. Mr. Trump’s visit to this congregation is a reasonable gesture acknowledging both. To ignore the importance of the Christian Church and of the black Christian Church would be a grievous mistake.

Many commentators are criticizing Mr. Trump as pandering to the black community. Many say that his attention to black people and especially to black Christians is mere politics. However, these same people praise President Obama for having leaders of the Black Lives Matter protest group to the White House. This does not surprise anyone, since the liberal left has always claimed the right to criticize others while ignoring their own faults.

A candidate for President of the USA should pay attention to the place of the Jewish-Christian religion in the lives of millions of American citizens. There are those who say that the Christian Church must stay out of politics- that the administration, management and government of the USA is none of their business. Such an attitude ignores the faith foundations of the nation. It seeks to sideline and shove those who practice and proclaim their faith into a religious ghetto allowing them freedom that is forced to live behind the walls of Churches. Mr. Trump is a Christian. He is protected by his own civil rights and the US Constitution to attend, speak at and worship God with anyone.

This writer is a Christian. He is glad that Mr. Trump went to Church. He is happy for the recognition and acknowledgement of faith that this gesture of Mr. Trump communicates for all the world to see.

Jesse Jackson and Trump

http://www.wnd.com/wnd_video/98-1999-jesse-jackson-praises-commitment-to-minorities/Jesse Jackson and Trump

Came across this video of the Reverend Jesse Jackson praising Donald Trump. It from years ago, before Trump was a candidate.

Read today that Trump will visit black Church Saturday service in order to address concerns they have about his Presidency.

Also read of black protests against Donald Trump visiting the city. Strange that people think they can protest and use their first amendment rights in order to intimidate and deny Mr. Trump his first amendment rights.
Hope you can see the video, is is historical and very interesting.
A last thought, didn’t the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. say, ( We need to judge another person not by the color of their skin but the content of their character.”?

Time for change in the White house

This blog entry is a little lighter side viewpoint. Its about the people we see in our politics. This writer is tired of the same faces and the same names and the sames families. It’s time we bring fresh new talent into our White House.
Let me be very quick to say that this is not a criticism of the family of the current occupants of the White House. Socially, culturally, and really, they are just fine. And let me immediately say this has nothing to do with the children of our President. Like the Obama family, this writer would protect and defend his children against one and all. Yes, the kids are just fine.
During the Democrat convention, we saw the same old faces, the same tired expressions, the same families and names and all of the old celebrities and that old stuff. After all, the Clinton family has already occupied the White House for eight years and if we include Hilary as Secretary of States, and although she spend almost all of that time out of the country, we could say the Clintons have been at the White House for twelve years. And what was the chant I heard before, “No more Bushes!!” So, maybe we can chant no more Clintons.
As I said, this is intended as a lighter side blog. And in that spirit, I will tell you that I enjoyed looking at the Trump family. They are both a beautiful and a handsome family. They are new and they are different. And yes, I have seen the photos published by the New York Post and do not expect such to be true at the White House.
But it is time for a change of scenery. Time for new faces and refreshing personalities. Yes, even time for a little more pizzazz. Maybe, that is not enough reason to vote for a President. But, it is an interesting and delightful effect of the vote. So, although it probably shouldn’t be your reason to vote for Trump. Well, it can be a consideration.
Hope this brought you a smile.

Trumps Mexico Visit a Success.

The invitation of Pres. Nieto to invite Donald Trump for a personal meeting was a bold move of leadership and friendship. He told the world that Mexico is a free and independent nation and that as a people, they are fiends to the USA. His invitation was that of a neighbor to a neighbor.
Donald Trump accepted the invitation and as a good neighbor he went to Mexico. He did not stay in the USA and declare that the representative of Mexico come to him. Rather, he saw an opportunity for friendly and frank discussions with the leadership of Mexico. Like all things “Donald” he was quick to consult his advisors, quick to deliberate, and quick to make the appropriate decision. That alone, improved our relations with Mexico in the same way it would in a neighborhood.
There are some that say that Mr. Trump was not bold, not strong and that he softened his position about American immigration laws and their enforcement. Let’s get real. Mr. Trump was honored by the Mexican government by the invitation. He was gracious in acceptance. Mr. Trump was treated with respect by the President of Mexico. Donald returned that respect with respect. The President of Mexico represented the good will of the Mexican people and for his part, candidate Trump, represented the good will of the American people. There was nothing to be gained by being a rude guest.
In reading the Yahoo and Google commentaries this author was distressed at the headlines, Like, “Trump goes to Mexico because he is losing.” Well, well. It would seem that the google writers in Washington and the Yahoo writers in Chicago cannot get out of their anti Trump straight jackets. Not surprising, really, since the Google and Yahoo reporters are consistent with the print press reporters in looking for every way to discredit Mr Trump, while elevating Mrs. Clinton.
Rightly, Candidate Trump acted with dignity and restraint as he met with the President of Mexico. It is not surprising that he did so. As the head of Trump companies, Mr. Trump has met with the leaders of very powerful companies, unions, and nations. He has a long experience with high level diplomacy and negotiations in the making of the Trump enterprise worldwide. He has been successful in that area, he will be successful as President of the USA.

Should Trump Go To Mexico?

There are many people who think that if Donald Trump is elected President of the USA, he will deport up to eleven million illegal immigrants back to Mexico. This had caused hysteria on the Left and is much used by the Hilary campaign. Is it really possible for a President Trump to order an immediate deportation of eleven million people? No it is not! But it is possible for a President Trump to uphold and enforce the immigration laws of the USA.
It is silly to think that Mr. Trump’s position is an immediate roundup of illegal immigrants. Such a action would require a massive and expensive effort. It could only be done by a military force. Think about it! Eleven million is a lot of people. So, let the far right be a little more sensible and sophisticated and not imagine that such a campaign statement could be actualized by a real time round up and deportation of eleven million people. Likewise, let the hysterical liberal Left stop the screaming and over reaction. Let the liberal left stop the race baiting and the incendiary shouting of racist, bigot and the similar reprehensible slurs.
Let’s instead begin with a question. How did we get to a place where there are eleven million illegal immigrant in the USA? It came from lax law enforcement on the federal level. It came from the massive numbers of south of the border people entering the USA across its one thousand mile southern border. It came from sympathetic popular thinking that the immigrants were poor and down trodden people who wanted a better life, loved the USA, and like our pilgrim ancestors, were fleeing oppression. But is this the actual image of the modern day southern border immigrant? The answer is too long for this blog, so I will let the reader give the answer.
Whatever, you answered, the fact is that over time, a time before Donald Trump as candidate, there evolved a massive influx of people who did not want to be American citizens, preferring to retain their language, culture and national affiliation as Mexican, or South American, while living in the USA illegally. These people, overwhelming the social services of many border States, were also given free education for their children, food stamps, and even cash welfare payments. Indeed, many advanced economically, learning English as a second language and getting a job. However, they did not become citizens and the pressure of their numbers forced changes in the USA that were unanticipated and many would say were unwanted.
Why is this a problem for people? All USA citizens are children if immigrants. (Some would exempt the American Indians, but they too migrated from Northern Asia.) It is a problem because of the changes to American social culture that eleven million people of Spanish language have forced upon American society. The key word is “forced” because it is a result of massive illegal action and persistent government laziness that has produced it And now people are hearing talk of the importation of one hundred thousand Muslim immigrants by the Obama government. Please note, that this author is calling the southern border immigrants by culture and nationality. It is not common to call them eleven million Roman Catholics. However, the importing of a possible one hundred thousand South West Asian immigrants is according to their own designation, namely, Muslim. This self designation is significant because of its association by the immigrants as to who they are and who they intend to remain. As the southern border immigrants forced an acceptance of Spanish upon the whole nation, so the Muslim immigrants would force acceptance of Muslim Sharia law upon the nation.
Mr. Trump is the only candidate willing to assert that the answer to the continued immigration crisis is a simple assertion that immigrants must become citizens of the USA and that they must accept the laws of the USA as supreme. Of necessity, this applies to those already here illegally, and to those being imported by the Obama administration. How can this be done? Simply by faithfulness to already existing US laws and a consistent and intentional enforcement of the laws. This is nothing new. If you have ever been to Ellis Island, in New York harbor, you realize that our ancestors were closely examined by the government, were registered, and those who were With-Out-Papers were investigated and given temporary residency. These temporary residents were allowed entry, taught English and US law, went to citizenship classes and eventually became US citizens.
The force of Mr. Trump’s campaign rhetoric is to focus a pin point laser upon the reality of USA immigration policy. His intention is to solve it. He is a problem solver. Some would said he is the best hope the nation has to solve this and many other problems that face the USA. This author agrees with that assessment. I have read his book, “The Art of the Deal”. It is not the whole of his credo, but in his book, Donald Trump shares a philosophy of winning by creative deal making. It is a philosophy he will bring to the Presidency. It will be a guiding principle to his compassionate and visionary solution to a problem that many believe to be unsolvable. But Donald Trump has surprised his critics before. He will surprise them again.

People of Islam Claim we Must change our Laws

In an article by the Gatestone Institute published on Internet, the Institute reported on a month long emphasis in Britain upon the topics of multiculturalism and Islam. A quote from their article says: “This area is home to a large Muslim community. Please have respect for us and our children and limit the presence of dogs in the public sphere…those who live in the UK must learn to understand and respect the legacy and lifestyles of Muslims who live alongside them.”
Can we say the same for the Muslims, namely, that having migrated to UK from a foreign country and having accepted the hospitality of the people of Great Britain, that it is necessary for the Muslims to learn to understand, and respect the legacy and lifestyles of English people into whose country they have moved? After all, multiculturalism is a two way street of interaction and interchange between groups with equal rights and equal status. But this seems to not be acceptable to the so called Muslim community. Instead, they tell others to respect, consider and understand, while they continue to be closed minded.
This writer does not know if the Muslims of Great Britain were invited to move in or they just moved in! Nonetheless, the Muslims are immigrant visitors to Great Britain and if they were born and raised there, it seems they have not accepted the nation, its people or its culture. But they have accepted the safety, security and freedom affirming policies of a parliamentary, historically Christian society. Instead of integrating into the society of Great Britain, the Muslim community has banned together voluntarily as a religious ghetto exclusive to itself and demanding of exceptions from others.
The problems with Muslims that Great Britain is facing are the same problems that could flare up in USA. The Republican nominee for President, Donald Trump, is not a bigot, a religious zealot or a racist. He is merely reflecting the strong opinion that in USA, America and Americans have priority. It is a strong political position because Mr. Trump is reflecting the consensus of popular public opinion when he says that only people who love America, love the American political system, and love the American people, should be let into the USA.

Trump Does Not Hate Hilary

Many of those who oppose Trump also oppose the people who voted for Trump in the primaries. They are against regular, hard working American citizens who got out and went to the polls and voted for Donald Trump. These antagonists to Trump say that the people who voted for Trump are ignorant, or misinformed, or low information voters, or just bigots, racists, or whites who have been left behind, or Uncle Tom Blacks. The anti Trump people, who are both Democrat and Republican, are themselves arrogant snobs, and elitists, who look down on so called “working class” or so called “blue collar” people. They are the problem and not the solution. They are the cause and not the remedy. They are the disease and not the cure. They are repugnant and must be rejected.
The Trump revolution is real. It includes a host of real people who have real lives, and real jobs, and real families and do not live on Park Avenue, New York, or the various haunts of the rich and powerful. And it is their realness that is swelling in power as it rises up to overwhelm and utterly reject the arrogant pride of the anti Trump forces. It is a rising tide of power that will drown the prideful voices of the privileged and smother them under an overwhelming vote of popular affirmation for Donald J. Trump and his intentional preference for the regular and the ordinary and the citizens of America.
This is a real revolution. As of now, it is a political revolution. It is the last desperate gasp of hope by a long suppressed silent majority. It is their last desperate faith in a system that has been corrupted and rigged against them. And they are the ones, the so called clueless taxpayers, who are arrogantly expected to pay for it,-they are the ones who are still hope filled by one man, Donald J. Trump–a billionaire, who like a champion, has entered the arena and volunteered to fight for their cause.
If you, my friend, are reading this, I ask you to vote for Mr. Trump. If you are indeed a friend, and I acknowledge that assertion to be a bold one, nonetheless, if you are a friend, I ask you to share the hope filled and faith filled and reality filled message of Donald Trump. American is supposed to be great. I really believe that is our destiny. Not as a matter of undue pride, but as a humble acceptance of the burden of greatness.
Friends, this writer is a Christian. I am not afraid nor am I ashamed of it. However, I accept and acknowledge that there are Jews, and Hindus, and witch-ans and Confucians, and Shinto-ans, and many other good people of God’s Spirit who are anxious about our America. Trump has no exclusive claim on them nor they on him. But please allow me to assert, that he, Donald J. Trump, and he alone, is standing forward and bravely accepting the derision of those who mock and laugh and deride our faiths, and mock us as they say that we “cling to our guns and our Bibles”.
The author of this article has been involved in political and social revolution before. These have failed. Why? Because good people, people who said that they were on our side, failed to follow through. Your author is afraid of the same result, but I am asking you not to accept the same result–failure. My heart and soul cry out to you to rise up and to go out and to vote for a successful political revolution. Vote for Trump. Your vote is important. If you vote, it will change America for the better. It will change America forever.

Trump is The Future

This blog entry is written at 9.28 after a seven hundred and thirty mile car drive from Lexington, Kentucky. It is a stream of consciousness blog entry concerning Donald Trump for President.

Donald Trump is the future and Hilary Clinton is the past. Yes, it is nice and nostalgic to think about the simple past. But the past is the past and there is no return to it. Hilary Clinton with her “first” husband Bill Clinton is the past and there is, no doorway to that past. It is over.

Donald Trump is the future. He is new. He is bold. He is not afraid. He is willing to go where no politician has ever gone before. This writer votes for the future. He votes for his own future which is tied to the bold initiatives of Donald Trump. He votes for the future of his children which is tied to the honesty and basic human integrity of Donald Trump. He votes for the future of his grandchildren which is tied to Mr. Trump’s sincere promise to do the best he can (and that is formidable) to undo the toxic policies of the past and to initiate a brand new policy that will benefit all American citizens whether they are new after being her illegally for fifteen years or they are born of parents who came here in 1838.

Friends, and I regard you as friends even if you disagree, we have an option in November. We can vote for Hilary and the past or Donald and the Future. I vote for the future.

Trump, Hilary and Obama

Much is made of the idea that a vote for Hilary is a vote to extend the Obama policies. This is because they feel that the Obama policies were the wrong policies. These people fear that Hilary is politically and perhaps financially indebted to Obama and his billionaire backers. Why is this a problem? It is because voters want the person they elected. They do not want the backers, lobbyists, power brokers and political careerists who are backing Hilary. To think that Hilary will be her own person and reject the demands of her financial and political backers is to believe that such people, with such a heavy investment in her, will allow her to be independent. That is unlikely.

What is wrong with the Obama legacy? It starts in Cambridge Mass. There, President Obama inserted his own brand of black racism into a neutral situation,. His assertion that the Cambridge police were acting “foolishly” when they tried to protect the property of a black professor was a huge signal that he intended to interpret things from a black versus white prejudice. This racist philosophy evidenced itself again and again. Notable for this writer was the George Zimmermann and Evon Martin Case. Again Obama inserted his racism when he made several public comments on the case. He went so far as to say that if Obama had a son, he would look like the victim. This seemingly innocuous statement was Obama’s taking sides in the judicial case identifying himself with the victim and thereby casting a shadow of guilt on George Zimmermann.

The next episode for our remembering is the method of passage for Obamacare. The President used obvious bribery of political support, public contracting support, and favoring the pet projects of Senators who would sell their convictions for money and the promise of patronage. Additionally, Obama, in typical fashion, moved quickly, once he had bribed votes, to cut off any opposition. Some would call this politics as usual, this writer calls it blatant interference in the legislative functions of the Congress. This strident disregard for the separation of powers clause of the Constitution is further revealed by Obama’s use of Executive Orders. Executive Orders are the same as writing and passing legislation without permission of the legislature. The most prominent expression of Obama’s lack of respect for our constitution was his statement that with his phone and his pen he would bypass Congress and impose his will on the citizens without their consent.

The concept that the so called Constitutional scholar Barrack Hussein Obama should want to usurp the Constitution by a dictatorial use of his phone and his pen is very troubling. For this writer that alone, if extended by the Hilary administration, spells more Federal intrusion into our lives and more dictatorship of the federal government over business, education and personal life. Therefore, a vote for Trump is a vote against an overly dictatorial federal government and its continuation under a Hilary administration.

Moderates for Trump

When is it time to moderate your viewpoint in order to achieve success? This is a very important question for the voters in this 2016 election. It is not concerning only the Presidential candidates, but also the Senate and House of Representatives candidates.

Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Republican House member Paul Ryan won his primary battle against a newcomer. It was an important event because Representative Ryan is also Speaker of the House of Representatives. Therefore, he is third in line of succession to the Presidency if both the President and Vice President should be killed. He is also the leader of the House and it is from there that a great deal of legislation originates and it is from there that all money legislation starts. As the Speaker of the House, Ryan is either an ally or a foe of the President and Executive policies. In a very real sense, Speaker Ryan is the head of the legislative branch, even as Chief Justice Roberts is the head of the Judicial branch and if elected, Donald Trump will be of the Executive branch. All of them supposed to be equal in power so as to safeguard against any one branch of government becoming dictatorial.

Ryan is a member of the Republican party. At the beginning of this election cycle Speaker Ryan seemed hostile to the potential of Mr. Donald J. Trump becoming the Republican nominee for President. Eventually, Mr. Trump became the nominee, and met with Mr. Ryan to overcome any objections that Speaker Ryan had about candidate Trump. Recently, a seeming disconnect occurred when Mr. Trump seemed to support Mr. Ryan’s opponent at the Primary level. Much commotion was caused by the media, but Mr. Ryan affirmed his support for Mr. Trump and Mr. Trump officially endorsed Paul Ryan.

Does it matter? Who knows? But it was a symbol to this writer that voters will need to moderate their political positions in response to the extraordinary opportunity to elect a truly non politician Mr. Trump. Why? Because there is a new American Revolution happening. It is a political revolution. It is a revolution of the workers against those who do not care to work. It is a revolution of business people against those who would tax businesses out of existence. It is a revolution of union workers against those who approve of exporting their jobs to foreign countries. It is a revolution of citizens against those who seek citizenship by breaking the law, It is a revolution of middle class people against effete snobs in universities who take their money and use it to turn their children’s values against them- a middle class that is tired of Black Lives Matter, of Occupy Wall Street, of Ferguson and looting, of agitators who burn down neighborhoods hooded Muslim athletes, spitting out their hate for America and of anti morality advocates who claim that if a man wants to pretend he is a women and enter a woman’s bathroom, it is OK. It is a revolution of all Americans against liars, cheaters, phonies, manipulators, and elite political careerists who think that they are owed the Presidency because they are the “best qualified” for the job.

Yes, this writer is a Trump advocate. Yes, this writer is a moral conservative. Yes, this writer identifies with the Republican party. However, “yours truly” supports Mr. Trump because I believe that the New American Political Revolution that we daily experience has made him the voice of the disenfranchised American who is told to give over America to immigrants who for twenty years have succeeded in breaking the law. A Revolution of disgusted Americans who see the results of a President who disparages them for clinging to their Bibles and guns and who started his administration by claiming that the White (his words) cop in Cambridge, acted foolishly; of Americans who are still startled by Secretary of State Clinton’s testimony about the murder of four embassy personnel in Benghazi, Libya, ” What difference does it make, they are dead?!”

The New American Revolution represented by Donald Trump is a political revolution. It is one last expression of American citizens that they may be able to save the USA from its spiral into the oblivion of Presidential executive orders and a newspaper and news reporting system that constantly treats them as stupid people to be used, manipulated, lied to and propagandized. And Donald Trump? Billionaire business man and Republican nominee for President, what of him? He did not make the New American Revolution, It made him. He did not convince people to believe as they do, they find in him a leader willing to listen to their beliefs and to respect their opinions and to honor them as citizens of the USA. This New American Revolution is political for now. It is based on hope, the hope of a majority of citizens who have been ill treated by their leaders, lied to by their media and who have seen their beloved nation delivered to illegals, law breakers, and college teachers who despise them and seek to turn their own children against them.

Will this phenomenon remain political? Who knows! If the religious right cannot moderate their views to embrace Donald Trump, the revolution may fail. If the Conservatives cannot moderate their views to accept a less than “pure” conservative in Donald Trump, it may fail. If the vast rank and file of adherents to the Democrat party cannot move toward Mr. Trump, it will fail. But its failure, if it happens, may be the new strident revolution that dismisses politics and like a Phoenix from the ashes rises to create a new reality, a viable third political party that will forever change the power structure of America.
