Ten Great Deals For The Donald
There is a sliver of hope. If Donald Trump is elected, eschews a law and order crusade and does not capitulate to the destructive policies of the Wall Street/Washington/bicoastal establishment, there is a way forward. The political outlaw who considers himself to be the world’s greatest deal-maker would need to do just that.
To wit, a President Trump determined to rid the nation of its mutant regime of Bubble Finance at home and failed interventionism abroad would need to make Ten Great Deals.
A Peace Deal with Putin for dismantlement of NATO, cooperation in the middle east, strangulation of ISIS by the Shiite Crescent and a comprehensive worldwide agreement to end the arms trade and pave the way for general disarmament.
A Jobs Deal based on slashing taxes on business and workers and replacing them with taxes on consumption and imports.
A Sound Money Deal to repeal Humphrey-Hawkins, end the Fed’s war on savers and cash, abolish the FOMC and limit the Fed’s remit to passively providing liquidity at a penalty spread over market interest rates based on sound commercial collateral.
A Glass-Steagall Deal to break up the giant financial conglomerates, limit the Fed’s liquidity window to “narrow banks” which only take deposits and make loans and deny deposit insurance to any banking institution involved in Wall Street trading, derivatives and other forms of financial gambling.
A Federalist Deal to turn back most of Washington’s domestic grant and welfare programs to the states and localities in return for a mega-block grant with a 30-year phase-out.
A Regulatory Deal based on an absolute 4-year freeze on every single pending regulation, and then subjecting every existing statute to strict cost-benefit rules thereafter.
A Liberty Deal to get Washington out of the war on drugs, criminal law enforcement and regulation of private conduct and morality.
A Health Care Deal based on the repeal of Obamacare and tax preferences for employer insurance plans and their replacement with wide-open provider competition, consumer choice and individual health tax credits.
A Fiscal Deal to slash post-disarmament defense spending, devolve education and other domestic programs to local government and to clawback unearned social security/medicare entitlements benefits from the affluent elderly.
And a Governance Deal to amend the constitution to rescind Citizens United, impose term limits and establish public finance of all Federal elections.

1. Some of the most outrageous stories about Hillary or Trump are on their face ridiculous. Please refrain from being an idiot. She isn't killing babies in the back yard and he isn't hauling truckloads of migrants and Muslims across any borders. There is enough reality and truth to do a proper indictment of the candidate you oppose. Crying babies and the fact that he took a purple heart from someone is a stupid reason for outrage against Trump. Get real. No one thinks you are serious. SMH
2. If you are going to vote for Hillary Clinton then say so... be courageous and don't pretend that you ALMOST were persuaded like King Agrippa. You pretend conservatives and fake republicans who find ways to be outraged by everything about Trump are so transparently phony, no one believes you. Go for your candidate, we'll forgive you later. This goes double for those who are say they are going to vote third party. You think you are voting for a third party but a vote for Stein or Johnson has a vote for Hillary or Trump connected to it. It's all an illusion. Don't get all upset about this or that and expect us to believe you have any integrity. From now on when I see this I will post this meme in your comments section. Get real please.
3. For those of you who are still angry that Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Kasich, or Fiorina isn't the candidate, PLEASE take a cold shower, face the facts that Donald Trump is the only alternative to Hillary Clinton we have. If you can't do that you belong in the admonition to number 2 above. Wishy Washy faux outrage is useless now. We only have one opponent in this election. I don't love Trump, but I cannot see Hillary Clinton as President. She is dangerous and destructive. If you don't see that, please see number two.
4. Stick to the real issues. Trump is NOT going to nuke anyone. Clinton is not going to give away free college or make abortion mandatory. The facts, the real facts are bad enough than to let the mainstream media tell you want to think.
Truth is always a casualty in these campaigns. When you hear the candidates speak, you have to know that the second after they are elected they will abandon half of what they are promising. Right now Trump is talking about free trade and canceling NAFTA. He can't do that. A second after taking the oath of office he will back away from that campaign promise.
This is a great time to grow up and face facts. This campaign compared to many I have lived thru is so docile it's boring. People are much nicer to one another than ever before. Living a long time gives you that perspective.
Yet this election matters. I will do my best to post truth about the candidate I oppose, Hillary Clinton. I will allow the candidate I will vote for to carry his own water. I have said it before, if people really knew the real Donald Trump behind the curtain and if they knew the real Hillary Clinton behind closed doors, Hillary would be at 10% in the polls. She's that bad. She must not be President.
Think of the 300 Spartans who Died at Battle of Thermopylae. There were many who did not want to take a stand and it cost them greatly. Get a backbone and say out loud what you stand for.
ONE PEOPLE... ONE NATION Under GOD
I know it's origin. I am German after all. But there is a question what the idea of taking back our country, making America Great again is all about. Many wonder why socialism works in Noway and many Scandinavian countries. It's because they are or were before Islamic invasion, One People and One nation. The under God part is questionable. In Germany there was a time when the nation saw itself as one. In many ways it still does. One people, One Nation.
We all have a longing for this. We want to stand side by side on the sea of glass as one in worship of the Lord of Lords, the Nation of God. The People. This is deeper than you can imagine. Like is says in the Book of Ecclesiastes, "Eternity is hidden in the Soul of Man". We long for that unity, that oneness, that nation, that being under a benevolent King.
When we see division in the USA, Balkanization by racist misleaders, Islamification without assimilation and the many divisions caused by politicians and in the end satan himself. We are warned to mark carefully those who cause division. We think this is in the church. No, this applies to social order as well.
The reason there is such a strong force for taking the country back from division and restoring oneness of the people and oneness of the nation again is because deep inside, even if we have never actually experienced it ourselves we know in our hearts it is right. Oneness only happens with selflessness. You set yourself aside for the greater good. You look out for the others interest and not your own. This is not economic, this is the Plan of God for your life. He demonstrated it first on the Cross.
Living and working in Germany as an American for several years I learned one thing about the cultural norms. They were Germans FIRST and something else second. You were GERMAN and then Croatian, Czech, Russian, Italian and while I lived there, American. Unity was the key thing. And yes there are a lot of Black and Indian people (from India) that live there. There are a lot of Iranians, I got to know many. They are Germans first. And that works fine. No black lives matter there. Isn't needed. Even many Turkish are Germans.. but they fail to assimilate and many have become outsiders, Turks first and German second.
The Japanese are exactly the same. They see themselves as ONE NATION ONE PEOPLE. There are no immigrants to Japan. They believe that Creation of the earth took place in Japan.
This is why it was so damaging for there to be a virtual invasion by muslims from the middle east that Merkel encouraged. She believed mistakenly that they would be proud to become part of ONE PEOPLE ONE NATION. EIN VOLK.
That is a failure. The nation of God must first be Under God. Even in a secular sense. Islam has no desire to become part of ONE PEOPLE.
We need unity, we need to take our country back again, we need to restore American to greatness as One People One Nation Under God. No division allowed... ever. Mark them who cause division.
The Devil HATES unity and when you see disunity you see satan at work.
Make American ONE Again.

How Loretta Lynch Responded to the Horsehead in her Bed
AG Loretta Lynch was headed to Aspen, Co from Washington DC for a speaking engagement, a distance of around 1500 miles in almost a direct line East to West. The Government plane she was flying in was a G5 with a range of 6500 miles. Question is why she would go to Phoenix first which is 600 miles South of Aspen then go North to Aspen from Phoenix. She did not need to stop in Phoenix for fuel because if she had flown direct, fuel would not be necessary. In fact, do the math, the G5 has the range to make that round trip without refueling?
Why was Bill waiting for Lynch's plane to land in Phoenix when she was going to Aspen? That meeting was planned to put the Clinton Fix on and some guy who worked at the FBO in Phoenix, called his friend who was an Anchor at the local ABC Station (that is a shocker) and then he verified the meeting with a second independent source at the airport. Ms Lynch said "They talked for half an hour about grand kids and golf".
Loretta Lynch does not have any grand kids and doesn't play golf.
At Least she hasn't committed Suicide Yet... So the fix was in and that my friends is how the Clinton Crime Family plays Hardball.
Tony Soprano? Amateur!!!!!
