Interesting take on Trump. William J. Bennett
Interesting take on Trump. William J. Bennett, Host of Bill Bennett's Morning in America Show, is one of America's most important, influential, and respected voices on cultural, political, and education issues. He has one of the strongest Christian world views of any writer in modern times.
What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency By Bill Bennett
They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump. Don't be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few. It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one. It's a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We're the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened. Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart. It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won't change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations - like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock,stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations. These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone. There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign. Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn't need anyone's help. That means he doesn't care what the media says. He doesn't care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters. Don't you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don't you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don't you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama's clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right? First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything. Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They surveil everything. Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment. Fourth , why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you're a good old boy, you've got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win. But Trump doesn't play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate. He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university. Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad. Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question! I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election? Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. Trump's election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over. The jig is up. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money. Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi. The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison. Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That's why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.
Yes, it's become open season on Donald Trump. The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates. But they can't silence him. And they sure can't intimidate him. The more they try, the more the public will realize that he's the one telling the truth.

A SHORT OBAMA BIOGRAPHY BY MAUREEN SCOTT...
God help us...
The Architect of Destruction
By Maureen Scott
Barack Obama appears to
be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger,
and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his.
He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways
in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others.
Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding
bitterness toward the U.S. that was instilled in him by his family and
mentors...it seems to have never left him.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America. Rather it is the
blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where
there should be abiding pride and love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S.
Or its people, with deep appreciation and
genuine respect for our history, our customs, our
sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most
patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays
"The Star Spangled Banner," (no he gets goose bumps when he hears the ''Muslim
call to prayer" (his words) or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition
of " America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride
when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday - or someone plays
"taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the military,
as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by?
It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our
experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle
who showed us his medals and told us about the bravery of his fellow
troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He
didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then
coming to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for
building a business and life for their children.
Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of
America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in
kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and eating a hot
dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks
exploded over head, or placing flags on the grave sites of fallen and
beloved American heroes.
Rather he was separated from all of these experiences and doesn't really
understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions
that most feel reegarding this country and insensitive to the instinctive pride we have
in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either
envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions
and patriotism that unites us.
He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary,
heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that
inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short time our
country became a leader, and a protector of many. Quite the contrary,
his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he
faults our achievements as well as any critics or opposition
for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to
threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading any American who
opposes his policies and actions. A secure leader, who has noble
self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of
critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.
Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, and anxiety among the
people of America, rather than uniting us (even though he was presented
to us as the "Great Uniter"). He creates chaos for the sake of
keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue. Under his
leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and
security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, and disrespectful
of, those of differing opinions. And through such behavior, Obama has
lowered the standards for self-control and mature restraint to
the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should be raising the bar
for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant,
self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and self-assured.
Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws,
remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install
controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial
form of government.
Never has there been a leader of this great
land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.
Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue
against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing,
calming and trustworthy force.
Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man
can cause a nation of people - on a daily basis!
Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of
cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building
us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America, and the epitome
of a Demagogue.

We are living in exponential times...
YOU MAY WANT TO WATCH THIS VIDEO TWICE click here...
ARTICLE BY THE ONE WHO SHARED THIS BELOW
Bob XXX: I got this video from a DuraXXX/XXXXXX workmate this PM. When you view it you too may be as surprised as I was. It is a little over 4 minutes long, but I had to watch it a second time to let it sink in as I was overwhelmed by the rapidity of change that is impacting humanity now and apparently will continue at a high rate. In hindsight the impactful change the world is being exposed to through technology and the ability to have a type of 'instant information' is what I was trying to respond to regarding our conversations yesterday about the political climate America finds itself in today. The traditional culture and traditional legacies, along with the traditional value systems and the traditional behavior to maintain those values is being impacted in a wave of dynamic change. I have been opining that the ultra liberalism now surfacing at an increasing rate caused to some degree by the speed and breadth of communicative ability available from modern technology, is gaining momentum at a rate that will be difficult, or perhaps impossible, to stop. Going back to what we know as fiscal conservatism, along with prudent and responsible behavior from our political leaders may be beyond the reach of reality with the rate of change the world is experiencing and expecting. We discussed the vision of the author of the book "Future Shock" that was published back in the 1960's. One of the main premises of the book was that the rate of change from improving technologies would be so great that individual humans would have difficulty coping with that speed of change. And that human directed systems would have to adapt so quickly and often that they would become significantly less effective. Couple all that with an economic system that depends heavily on consumption to thrive and the dynamics of life and economic well being would be in for that "Future Shock".
From a political perspective, getting back to a governmental position of fiscal responsibility, prudent and responsible leadership, along with clear direction mutually agreed upon and common goals would be a difficult position to regain; perhaps impossible. There is no effective plan in place for the traditional republican party's position to be regained. America's traditional values have not been emphasized in the public school systems for well over two decades, maybe longer in some regions. Liberalism has been well accepted by the bulk of younger society members as shown by the current positions on gay marriage, legalizing marijuana, protests against the 1%'ers, alleged police brutality, laws mandating minimum wages, sick days, and "politically correct" language. The Nanny state supporters are 'on a roll', and most Americans, especially those from the younger generations, seem to be willing to accept the potential loss of freedom and their independence and let the elitist political leaders lay out their life's direction.
Within this framework of ever accelerating change in technology and its impact on society which is contributing to society's reorientation of values, what I was trying to communicate is that getting back to America's traditional values using traditional political practices will be highly unlikely because of the rapid change affecting all aspects of society today. Something will likely come about to bring change, but what direction that change goes and what the specifics of the change will be is not clear today. Just like the video points out that the current younger generations will be dealing with gaining knowledge and working at job activities they can't as yet even visualize, I would offer that the same principles apply to the political arena as it impacts our national leaders. If there is no clear vision as to how to achieve their goal and there is no unified support from all segments of society to achieve that goal, the fiscally conservative and traditional value leaders will have a very difficult time getting into power to make the changes we would like to see.
xxxxxxxxx
ps: If you think about the impact of rapid change and the ability of humanity to "keep up", one of the ways to slow things down and get societies under control is to emphasize traditional behavior from traditional systems. Like religion? Wonder if ISIS has that in mind?
HAVE A GREAT DAY...
