Syria like Libya is a Sovereign nation. It is Best to Respect the International law.

Any further attack upon the military of Syria is an act of unprovoked aggression. It is a sad fact that some kind of chemical weapon was released during a bombing attack by the air force of Syria. However, this writer wonders if we should automatically doubt the explanation of the Syrian government that they were not the ones who released the gas. Their explanation is plausible, namely, that the gas had been stockpiled by the ISIS gang and that unknown to the Syrian air force they were targeting a chemical gas depot.

Why do I wonder? It is a very convenient event for the ISIS gang and a very serious offense if committed by the government of Syria. However, the Syrian government denied they did it. The Russian government that had effective control of previous Syrian chemical weapons stockpiles, denied that the government of Syria used the chemical weapons. Of course, the bogeymen of today, used to frighten the childish governments of the West, are Assad and Putin. Why believe them? Many would immediately say because they are liars. But is that true? On the face and even with deeper analysis there would be absolutely nothing to be gained by Syria using chemical weapons. But if the ISIS gang and their liberal allies in the USA and Europe could fool everyone into believing that the Syrian and Russian bogeymen did it, then that would be a victory for chaos and an advance for what Obama called ISIL, which stands for Islamic State In Levant. Additionally, it was amazing to me that of all the unreported 22 thousand bombs dropped on Syria by the Obama administration, the PRESS photographers and video media were on the scene instantaneously with camera, mike and up link crews for this singular attack to broadcast injured children’s faces to the world.

It is understandable that President Trump, himself in meetings with heads of other countries, should decry the alleged use of chemical weapons. It is obvious that any civilized country should condemn the use of such weapons. But this author is always reminded of the only country ever to use nuclear weapons against civilian populations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Therefore, I strenuously opposed our war against Saddam Hussein. I also strenuously opposed our regime change war against M. Gaddalfi of Libya. Both were wars, the Bush Iraqi war authorized by Congress but the Obama Libya war never authorized.

President Trump acted with precision and out of a complete belief based on our Intelligence reports that the government of Syria was at fault. However, to attack the military of a sovereign nation is an act of aggression and a defacto declaration of war against that country. If such is the case, it is imperative that the President ask the Congress for permission to pursue that war with “boots on the ground” with the objective of defeating the Syrian government, occupying the country and taking responsibility for it, its people and its general welfare. The defeat of a country in war carries with it responsibility and accountability for the country thus conquered. To over throw a government and then just walk away is not only illegal, it is criminal and cruel. Therefore, this author is against any further action against the independent sovereign country of Syria. Rather, a thorough investigation of the chemical weapons stockpiles still in Syria must be conducted by the United Nations and must include ISIS and the other rebel groups there. President Trump should publicly declare that he is not seeking the overthrow of the Assad government, which is in keeping with his campaign promises to abandon the policy of Regime Change. Secretary of State Tillerson should not act belligerently toward Syria or Syria’s ally, Russia. Rattling the saber of War is not good policy. Threatening an international coalition against Syria and Russia is a warmongering policy and indicates a failure of State Department diplomacy.

This writer is a President Trump supporter. I still support him. However, I feel that this incident could have been conceived and conducted by forces like allies of former Nazi George Soros, ISIS ad their nihilist cohorts in order to further destabilize the world and thwart the efforts of President Trump to bring peace and prosperity to the nations of that region. Let’s stop acting unilaterally. We are not, nor should we be, the police of the world. Stop the bombing, talk to Assad and Putin with respect and not belligerence and let’s get this situation solved. It’s the only way.

The Trump Revolution is Real

Just look at the attendance and the enthusiasm at the Trump Rallies.  Packed arenas.  Lots of young people.  Attendees who will vote in November.  The Trump Revolution is real.

Yes, it does baffle some on the left.  They cannot understand that people who work for a living could possibly like the Billionaire, Donald Trump.  But it is exactly because they do work for a living that the people of the revolution understand and want Trump.  They know the importance of a job. They understand that they have entrepreneur leaders, Masters of Business Administration project managers, and work site supervisors who worked their way up from the bottom. They understand that these are the people Donald Trump hires and these are the people that hire them.   They understand that the big buildings of steel and glass were built by the employees of Donald Trump and that these workers were paid by the Trump organization.  The appreciate the need for hard core, solidly based, forward thinking, revolutionary business people in order to create new and better jobs and more and higher paying positions for those who achieve.  These are people not baffled by Donald Trump, they like him.

At the start of this American Political Revolution, the pundits, the career television commentators and the newly minted college graduate news reporters talked a lot about voter’s outrage and about blue collar anger and white middle class Bible believers and gun owners who should be dismissed as not worthy to be considered.  After Trump’s initial successes there was a lot of TV chatter that this was merely the middle class suburban people expressing their frustration with modern life.  It was inferred that they were backward looking nostalgic people trying to cling to their religion, guns and childhood memories.  In all of this the attitude of those giving us their views on TV and news was that whites, middle class suburbanites, and blue collar workers should be ashamed of themselves.  The reporters used condescending language and expressive body language to show their disdain for those who are the heart and soul of America.   And this heart and soul of American resonates to the message that Donald Trump gives.  They have made him their voice.

Yes, this new American revolution is political, for now!  But there is a growing anxiety among its people that the powerful, and the careerist politicians, and the news media will join forces to quell the rebellion and crush the revolution.  Many would say that this assessment is correct and that once the new American political revolution is put down then all can rest easy.  But this may be a very big mistake.  The people started the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) movement and this was stolen from them by establishment politicians and made into an institution.  The TEA patriots didn’t resist.  They thought it was good.  They elected people who spoke the TEA words in the hope that they were sincere.  They have been disappointed and have leeched away from TEA.  Donald Trump is seen as an answer to their disappointment.

Many flocked to Republican libertarian Senator Rand Paul.  He was a viable and is still a credible source of hope for Americans.  But Senator Rand Paul was under funded and could not sustain the race for President.  Thankfully, he is a candidate for Senator from Kentucky.  Others ran to Senator Marco Rubio, a new voice, a young face and a solid message of hope.  But Senator Rubio was also underfunded and could not sustain the primaries.  Thankfully, Donald Trump encouraged him not to give up on a race for Senate and Marco Rubio is back on the election scene, a viable choose for Florida.   Many young, idealistic and enthusiastic people turned to Senator Bernie Sanders.  But Senator Sanders was undermined by the Hilary Clinton controlled Democratic National Committee.  He was stabbed in the back by Debbie Wassermann Schultz a DNC operative.  But more sad is Bernie Sander’s sell out of his ideas and ideals to Hilary Clinton- a sell out that brought tears of genuine hurt to his followers and calls of outrage for his duplicity.

At the end of the day there was only one man standing to carry the burden for his Republican party and be the voice for the disenfranchised and oppressed middle class.  Mr. Donald Trump stood up, stood tall, and stood fast in the face of unrelenting attack.  And the patriots of the New American Revolution know it and they will speak up and spread the revolution.

Rand Paul’s Speech to Senators was Courageous

Senator Rand Paul stood up in the Senate and addressed his fellow Senators to not allow the continuation of irresponsible spending. He pointedly used charts to show graphically how the Continuing Resolution by the Senate will allow spending to foolishly increase. His speech was informed, bold, accurate, and courageous. It was a well researched speech that used facts and figures to state his case for the American people. He used graphs and charts as visual aids so that people could see as well as hear the facts. Unlike others, Senator Paul was not simplistic, or shrill in his speech. He did not embarrass the American people or the Senators by using accusations sullying the character of his fellow Senators. He boldly spoke to them in person. He boldly asked them to change their minds and vote down the Continuing Resolution. He was accurate in his statements that the American people expect their Senators to made the tough and right decisions to stop runaway federal spending. And he was courageous because he stood up personally on the floor of the Senate chamber in the US Capitol and went on the record explaining why he was voting against the Continuing Resolution.

Mr. Donald Trump, also a candidate running for the Republican nomination, has stated that Senator Paul and others should drop out of the race for the nomination. This writer thinks of it as Mr. Trump’s issuing a “you’re Fired” to Senator Paul. One thing, all of the candidates are running for the Republican nomination. We are not even to the election year contest. There is no reason for Senator Paul or anyone else to drop out until the Republican party has chosen its nominee. This will be done through the votes of registered Republicans at the State level and through the groups called Caucuses. It should not be done by news polls, media polls, conservation talk show hosts, or the TV network debate system. It is not their prerogative to arbitrarily decide for the voters who they will be allowed to nominate. Members of each party reserve that prerogative for themselves.

Senator Rand Paul is a reasoned political personality who has been elected and has served with honor and distinction in the US Senate. His campaign staff is professional and he has raised enough money to pay for that staff and their expertise. Unlike Mr. Trump, Senator Paul is not a billionaire. He has money, indeed, from his practice of Physician. And his fiscal responsibility is a legend. He has returned sizable amounts of money to the federal government from his Senate operations budget. This he has done each year and this year it amounted to a refund TO the federal government of over one million dollars. In every way Senator Rand Paul is distinguished by his disciplined, reasoned, informed, bold and courageous programs to help America get better.
