This Sunday, the first since Donald Trump won the presidency and
protesters were dispatched to several cities across the country to
protest, I attended the service at Duke Chapel in Durham, NC.
As the deacon began his homily he said he wanted to share a letter
he wrote to his children. Before doing so he cited the fear which led
to protests.
He described the divide in our nation. He told the congregation what
he observed. He told of the "White Power" signs, and "Black Lives
Matter" over written with "White Lives" so those who listened would
know what he saw.
What the minister did not mention were the riots, flag burning, taunting
of police, "swastika" written under Trump signs, businesses shut down
and worse, pulling young Whites out of cars and beating them.
The minister also omitted telling his congregation of the buses bringing
people to select cities from coast to coast to initiate confrontation. This
was orchestrated anarchy, something not even Jesus would do.
There was no need to fully educate the congregation. After all, offering
"Jesus" name throughout was enough to show his own "righteousness".
But, to me....it showed his own bigotry! The minister like half the country
was disappointed with the election and he spent nearly ten minute beating
his drum of discontent over and over.
Not one word of Trump's promise to protect us from terrorism or creating
American jobs. The minister played the role of a Democrat surrogate
preaching the gospel of political divisiveness, "us vs. them".
He did read the letter to his children, telling them to have faith, believe in
Jesus and to not be afraid, but not one word of our wonderful country
and how we elect one person to lead all of us!

The Unreported story of the 2106 election
The unreported story of the election has been the failure of both
political parties. Each took two missteps and both shared one.
One party was severely damaged while the other was 'saved' thanks
to its unlikely candidate.
The Republican Party did what it always does, push the initiatives
of donors who spend tens of millions to see that only an establishment
(the party's choice) candidate is the nominee even when its at the
expense of American workers as occurs when it promotes globalism
and the desire to increase the size of government.
Fortunately, Donald Trump, the candidate committed to "true
conservatism", not the lip service conservatism the Republican
Party promotes, won its nomination.
The Democrat Party problems are much worse, beginning with insulting
its members once again by "rigging" the process, for a second time.
In 2008 the first 'coronation' of Hillary Clinton was staged so she would
be the "first" woman president. The desires of the Democrat voters did
not matter, the party's establishment would tell them who its nominee
would be. All key groups were aligned, including the Congressional Black
Caucus. The donors were locked in and the Super delegates promised to
support Hillary.
Not one more experienced Democrat opposed her, only a single neophyte,
Barack Obama, who entered to make a splash, not win the nomination.
But Obama proved to be the politician Hillary was not and won.
Although the party failed, it did claim the White House for eight years.
But, the lesson of the failed coronation was either missed or ignored.
Hillary would be the nominee once Obama would be gone.
This year was a replay of 2008. Again, no consideration of the desires
of its electorate, the Democrat establishment which failed in 2008 lined
up donors, told others they "need not apply", locked in Super delegates
to guarantee her nomination and even undermined the noble attempt of
strong challenger Bernie Sanders with collusion between Clinton and
the DNC!
All remembrances of 2008 were forgotten. No need to consider the
Democrat party members, the establishment would once again say
who their nominee would be.
I write this on Nov. 11th, two days after Hillary Clinton was dispatched
from the political scene. All that is left is a party which must face its
members and explain to them why their voice (and vote) do not matter!
Will the Democrat Party change? Probably not, especially since its members
are treated as groups of women, minorities, organization labor, teacher
unions, environmentalists, and any other cadre you can think of.
The burden of pleasing groups with different desires is much harder than
governing people with more in common interest.
The Republican Party may have learned what it takes thanks to Trump's
victory. Be true to your platform, don't compromise on principles and
do what your membership wants.
The Democrat Party cannot as long as it looks at members are viewed as
victims, consigned to groups dependent on government, rather than a
single constituency defined by what they have in common.

Be not afraid my children
My grandchildren are teen, the three oldest voted for the first time.
I wrote to reassure them fears of students reported should never
let them lose confidence in our wonderful country.
Welcome to share with others,
Tony
April, Devin, Kelsey and Nick,
I am writing after reading stories that many students, especially those
in college, are fearful for their future after Donald Trump was elected
this week. Some schools are even offering counseling sessions for
students deeply fearful.
This is disappointing coming from young adults who react as an eight
year old would. It makes me wonder why haven't parents or educators
not taught them life is not always what they want it to be. I hope this
year old would. It makes me wonder why haven't parents or educators
not taught them life is not always what they want it to be. I hope this
is not the case with you.
There is no reason to be afraid, even if you are disappointed. In my
life I have been disappointed with elections at least half the time but
I was never fearful of the person elected even if I disagreed.
I always knew our country keeps moving forward, responding to
whatever challenges as we always do.
Rather than try to convince you Trump was a good choice, I will
tell you one thing he will do, improve the lives of tens of millions
of Americans!
But, first I want to caution you about what you see on TV, the
protests in several cities against Donald Trump. You are smart
enough to see that a bunch of people don't just happen to be in
protests in several cities against Donald Trump. You are smart
enough to see that a bunch of people don't just happen to be in
the same place at the same time in different parts of the country
and all had the same idea.
These protesters are not independent or 'spontaneous', they are
a 'team' that responded to social media commands to go to
designated locations in selected cities to create an illusion, not
an honest and respectful protest. Listen to what they are saying,
they often repeat one another.

Now about Donald Trump. Forget what others are saying about
him, understand his core message. He wants the country to do
for you what it did for me and grandma and our parents too.
He is pledging to give you something I had when I worked but
has been stolen away, job security.

for an entire career and retire with a pension.

This was what made the United States the strongest economy in
the world. But, no more.

You may not realize it but over the past thirty years millions

their jobs and face an unsure future taking new jobs, often

for retirement!
What worked in the past is rarely available today.
This was "workforce transformation". People are fired rather
than retrained and replaced with younger workers paid much
less, even from other countries. No one disagrees, this is unfair!

less, even from other countries. No one disagrees, this is unfair!
THIS is the promise Donald Trump has made. He will work
to keep prices lower so you can afford a home of your own
and pay for health insurance and even save for vacations.
So, put aside the chatter you hear on TV, talk with friends
about the bills they pay, look at the taxes taken from your
paychecks, see how much it cost to go to college.
Be confident in your new president, give him a chance and
if he fails you, than do what citizens have done for over two
hundred years....vote for someone else.
Love you all,
Grandpa

Democrats can be beat if they are approached in the right way.
NOT my commentary....but important enough for limit government
citizens to understand...
One of the problems that we have had to endure as voters and as
citizens is that the Republican Party, our party, has not believed that.
Party leadership has not believed the Democrats can be beat, and
Donald Trump has shown how to do it. It took a political outsider,
somebody with no fingerprints on anything to do with the way
Washington works, ie. "fails", to demonstrate how you beat an
opposing political party.
How many times I've shared this story with you, Republican
presidential candidate after candidate come to this studio and
talk to me about their campaign, their ideas, how they want
to go about winning, and each one of them say...
"We can't win with Republican votes alone. We have got to be
able to cross the aisle, and we have got to be able to engage in
group politics."
"No, no," I said, "You guys are going about this the wrong way.
All you need to do is approach the American people as citizens,
as the American people. To hell with what group they're in. We're
human beings. We all want the best for ourselves and for our
country." Now, the opponents don't l ook at life that way. They
do look at people as victims and members of groups. But we can
beat them.
I've always known we could beat them. Beating the left has always
been what this is about. In addition to whatever I must do in the
realm of broadcasting in order to succeed, the substance and the
content portion of this program has always been, whether it's been
humor, whether it's been satire, whether it has been serious
commentary, it has always been about beating the left.
I have never understood, and I do not understand people on our side
who do not believe that, who do not hope that, who do not also share
that sentiment -- and, furthermore, who don't think it's possible. We
have been validated.
The things that we feel and think about our country, the direction it was
going, we have been validated by virtue of what the American people
did yesterday. Now, I have made notes throughout the night as I was
watching the various cable networks and their coverage.
And I've thought about, how do I want to approach this day with you
today, because really there's so much to say, and there's so much to
share, and so many observations that I want to make. I thought,
Okay, well, maybe I can just do my stream of consciousness and
share with you note by note as I make them," or maybe try to come
up with some more organized presentation of things, or just react as
things happen as the program is taking place today.
And I figured that regardless of the approach that I take, I'm gonna
get it all said. Regardless in what format I design it and present it, it's
all gonna be said. It may take three days or three hours here today
and a couple hours tomorrow to get it all said, because there's a lot.
There's a lot to react to. There are so many teachable moments that
have occurred in this entire campaign, and there is so much uplifting
and positive about what happened.
There is so, so much that is beautiful and American and Americana
that is still worth believing in and still worth promoting and still worth
fighting for, and all of this was demonstrated last night.
The angst, the shock, the disappointment over the entire Democrat
Party, the entire left wing, and even some on our side. One of the
things I kept hearing last night... The media will always be predictable.
The Democrats will always be predictable. When it was finally clear
last night that Hillary was gonna lose,
They began to demonstrate who they really are, started talking about
how it's gonna be necessary for Trump to approach them.
"Trump's gonna have to be inclusive, gonna have to do this!"
Trump doesn't have to do anything! He probably will. Trump is the
winner. If Trump wanted to, he could play this the way Obama did
and say, "I won! Whatever you want to do, well, you've just
gotta stop listening to Rush Limbaugh guy. That's not how
things get done in Washington." That's what Obama said two
weeks into his administration to a bunch of Republican leaders.
And then everybody started saying, "Now, this is not an ideological
election." You can always count on that. When the left loses, it's not
because of their ideology, and they came through last night.
Wrong, folks. It is always ideological. Big Government was told to
take a hike last night just like Big Government was told to take a hike
in the Brexit vote in England!
Last night, yesterday, was a total repudiation of Big Government. It
was a total repudiation of the Obama presidency and every aspect of
it. It was a total repudiation of the Democrat Party by the people I
always describe as those who make this country work. The people
who define the character and who define the values of our country
were the winners in what happened yesterday. And what has been
going on the last eight years was repudiated and was pushed back
against and defeated.
It's important to point out. I was listening to Paul Ryan today, a new
Paul Ryan. I've never seen Paul Ryan this enthusiastic! I've never
seen Paul Ryan this optimistic. He was genuinely optimistic. He was
enthused, and he seemed surprised at the same time.
Donald Trump heard a voice out in this country that no one else heard.
A lot of people heard it. A lot of people are that voice! People didn't
have to hear it; we have been shouting it! People missed the voice
didn't think it was there. It's not they didn't hear it; they didn't
think it was there.
If there is a lesson for the GOP, this victory has been there all along, in
2008 and 2012. But it's obvious and apparent now that many in the
Republican Party never thought this was possible and they really didn't
think it was possible with Donald Trump. They really were prepared
to be embarrassed and humiliated losing the House, losing the Senate,
and yet look what happens, they control both Congress and presidency.
Now the Republican Party have no excuses. There aren't any excuses
anymore. The Republican Party has been given the full reins of this
government in this country, and there is a mandate behind it. There's
nothing mysterious about this. There's nothing to unpack. There's
nothing to understand. There's nothing confusing about it. It is dead
straight simple what the American people voted yesterday and last
night, and it is a full repudiation of Obamacare.
It's a full repudiation of Obama economics. It's a full repudiation of
our culture and the way the Democrats go about dealing with people.
In Hillary's concession speech she rattled off all these groups: LGBT,
women, one-armed amputees SOHO in New York City. Groups.
Victims.
Democrats see the country is not the way this country is.
This is not a nation of victims! It is not a nation of people who are
discriminated against and denied opportunity. But that's what they
see when they look out and see America.
Trump's victory proved how absurd this is!

Profile in Political Courage.....
After elections the media always has answers for why candidates win that
are often at odds with what they report before an election. So, it was today.
I will not join this crowd and look as foolish as they sound.
But, I will point to something I hope the Republican Party will finally learn,
believe in your party's platform rather and fight for what you believe in.
THAT was the message of the 2016 election that needs to be heeded by
the Republican Party and its elected leaders.
Donald Trump displayed on the political most of us have seen, a 'profile in
political courage'.
He did not shy away from a threat of "Islamic terrorism' a term that sent
shivers up the spine of the politically correct. Nor, about doing the unthinkable,
'building a wall' on the Southern borders.
These two controversial statements would never be stated by a politician
who weighs every word and consults with political consultants or donors
who give approval first.
As for the Democrat side, anything and everything goes. When Arizona
attempted to deport illegal the Federal govt. sued the state. When North
Carolina
I will offer something else which every future president should keep in mind.
Failures in government need to be addressed, not dismissed or ignored!
Case in point Obamacare. It has been reported since inception that insurance
premiums would be going up, proven as each year more people saw increases.
Yet, President Obama did not publicly address the issue or work behind the
scenes to fix it.
I won't venture why the Obama Administration took the "ostrich" approach
to this problem, as it had with problems at the Veterans Administration or
deporting illegal alien criminals.
But, the message should be clear when problems are not resolved the burden
falls on an incumbent running for reelection or the party's candidate to replace him.
Hillary was saddled with problems Obama could have fixed but didn't.
If he did Obamacare would not have been an issue Trump could use and Hillary
Clinton would not avoid speaking about it.

From Wall St., markets have "spoken", the system is rigged
Donald Trump has been saying the system is "rigged", something no one
in the political universe dared to say, or curiously attempted to defend!
Over the past year we have learned Trump was right, proven by numerous
revelations of the unseemly relationship between the media, Democrats,
donors, lobbyists and Wall. St.!
It may not have been obvious Wall St. was part of this cabal, but candid
remarks demonstrates the "crooked" connection it has with Washington.
I often laugh when I hear a business commentator tell their audience the
markets "spoke" when stocks rise or fall in dramatic fashion. A silly answer
without evidence to support what occurred!
Recently, the markets 'spoke' again, and this time even I heard it. What
they "said" came through loud and clear from the voices of Wall St. power
brokers and showed to all what Trump has been saying for over a year,
the system is rigged!
How so?????
Many of the rich and powerful in the financial industry among them,
Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley, JPMorganChase and Bank of America
consider Hillary Clinton a pragmatic problem-solver. They are confident
she is someone who gets the idea that we all benefit if Wall Street and
American business thrive.
“I think people are very excited about Hillary,” says one Wall St.investment
professional with close ties to Washington. “Most people in New York on the
finance side view her as being very pragmatic. I think they have confidence
that she understands how things work and that she’s not a populist.”
Is it any wonder Hillary Clinton received tens of millions in donations
and speaking fees after seeing what Wall St. is saying?
Consider what this 'telegraphs" in contrast to what Donald Trump
wants to do.
Wall St. gurus see no problem with the highest corporate tax rate
of any advanced nation that Trump wants to reduce to 15%.
Wall St. shows no concern over the cost of egregious regulations
which can exceed 30% the Trump wants to reduce.
Wall St. doesn't even care that more that $2 trillion parked safely
overseas hurts their investments here in the US and only Trump
wants to 'repatriate' this money with a modest tax.
Wall St. does not even believe one sided global trade agreements cost
American workers jobs despite decades of stagnant wages, that Trump
promises to end.
If this does not convince you of the collusion orchestrated between
Washington and Wall St. I don't believe anything will!
This is has been the intended "transformation" planned long before candidate
Barack Obama spoke of one when campaigning in 2008. His remarks
should have been seen as a warning rather than 'hope' as he presented it.
Today, more people are closer to the lowest rung of the ladder of success
than ever before, including even those with college degrees.
Most workers will see the cost of housing, health care and education
accelerate faster than their incomes.
More couples need two incomes to raise their families than ever before.
More people are taking a second part time job to keep up.
Finally, despite what is happening across the country, what we "hear"
from Wall St. tells us how rigged the system is, stock market at record high!

in the political universe dared to say, or curiously attempted to defend!
Over the past year we have learned Trump was right, proven by numerous
revelations of the unseemly relationship between the media, Democrats,
donors, lobbyists and Wall. St.!
It may not have been obvious Wall St. was part of this cabal, but candid
remarks demonstrates the "crooked" connection it has with Washington.
I often laugh when I hear a business commentator tell their audience the
markets "spoke" when stocks rise or fall in dramatic fashion. A silly answer
without evidence to support what occurred!
Recently, the markets 'spoke' again, and this time even I heard it. What
they "said" came through loud and clear from the voices of Wall St. power
brokers and showed to all what Trump has been saying for over a year,
the system is rigged!
How so?????
Many of the rich and powerful in the financial industry among them,
Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley, JPMorganChase and Bank of America
consider Hillary Clinton a pragmatic problem-solver. They are confident
she is someone who gets the idea that we all benefit if Wall Street and
American business thrive.
“I think people are very excited about Hillary,” says one Wall St.investment
professional with close ties to Washington. “Most people in New York on the
finance side view her as being very pragmatic. I think they have confidence
that she understands how things work and that she’s not a populist.”
Is it any wonder Hillary Clinton received tens of millions in donations
and speaking fees after seeing what Wall St. is saying?
