OPEN LETTER TO DEMOCRATS

Thank you kindly for sharing this excellent article. It comes at a perfect time for me, as I have been trying to find some common ground with some close people – who are unwilling to listen and attempt to understand just how serious things going are impacting America.

Forwarded by a friend of mine...but very good!

This will probably draw some negative comments but it is worth reading and giving some thought……..

Don't know if some of the facts, as stated here, are verified but the message is clear and on point.

OPEN LETTER TO DEMOCRATS: (FROM A DEMOCRAT!)

I just have a few questions for you.

Let me start with, I already know you don't like President Trump, that's a given.

SO, let's move on from that...

How about the division of America..

Do you really blame Trump for that?

How about when NONE of the DEMOCRATS showed up for his inauguration?

Don't you think that started the division?

He hadn't even been president yet, and EXCEPT for Clinton and Obama, not one Democrat showed up.

Is that when Trump divided America?

Can you imagine if the REPUBLICANS didn't show up for Obama's inauguration because they lost?

Can you even start to imagine what would have happened?

How about when 19 minutes after Trump was inaugurated, the Washington Post declared the IMPEACHMENT CAMPAIGN has STARTED?

Was that when Trump divided America?

How about when Nancy Pelosi ripped up Trump's state of the union papers right in front of the world, showing complete disrespect for the President?

Did that bring the country together and is THAT when Trump divided America?

How about when America had to endure, 3 years and over 30 million dollars spent trying to PROVE that Trump only won because of RUSSIAN COLLUSION and NOT because America voted him in.

17 democrats did EVERYTHING in their power to PROVE that there was Russian Collusion, and came up with ZERO?

Was THAT when Trump divided America?

I can't even start to go over the NEGATIVE PRESS he's received since his surprise win.

Remember, the DONORS, like Bloomberg who gave 27 million, Tom Steyer who gave 17 million, George Soros who gave 9 million, and MANY MORE that gave MULTI-MILLIONS to Hillary. They wanted a return on their investment.

Do you really think that donors give MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS just because they love Hillary?

NO, these weren't campaign donations, they were INVESTMENTS into what HILLARY had promised them when she became president.

They were so sure she would win, and they would be SHOWERED with HUGE RETURNS, and when it didn't happen and they LOST all those millions, they went all out to TAKE TRUMP out of OFFICE by any means possible.

DO YOU KNOW that 90% of the Mainstream media and the corporations that own them, are owned by or run by BIG DEMOCRAT DONORS?

You can verify all of that for yourselves.

Since the moment Trump won, even before he was inaugurated, the mainstream media's reporting was 92% negative on Trump, do you know why?

It was those big donors that lost their dream of MILLIONS of dollars, on their returns that they were going to receive when Hillary was president and they weren't going to take that loss lightly. They needed to PUNISH TRUMP and those that VOTED HIM.

I've said this since the night he was elected.

"There is NOTHING the left won't do to take down our President”, our country and us, and no low they won't go to, to get their power back", and sadly, we have seen this every single day since his election.

Let me ask you this. Have you ever listened to Trump or appreciated any accomplishment or campaign promises he's kept, have you ever gone to one of his rallies or have you just closed your mind to ANYTHING he does?

Please ask yourselves the following questions, if you dare.

What has Joe Biden done for America for the last 47 years that he's held an office?

What did Joe Biden ever do for BLACKS when HE and Obama were in office?

What has Joe Biden ever done in his entire life to create a private-sector job?

What has Joe Biden done to help the American middle-class worker?

Let me also ask you this. Why do you think there are so many people tearing down statues, or burning our flag, beating up police officers, disrespecting our founders and hating our country?

It comes straight from our SCHOOLS that have slowly been tearing down our history.

If there is a teacher out there, please tell me the following:

Do you teach the truth that it was the DEMOCRATS that were the KKK?

That the GRAND LEADER of the KKK was Robert Byrd, who was elected to congress and served for decades, and that it was Hillary, Bill, and Obama that gave his EULOGY praising him?

That the DEMOCRATS fought the Civil war to KEEP SLAVERY?

That the inner-city ghettoes were created by DEMOCRATS to keep control of slaves after they were freed?

That planned parenthood was founded in inner cities to CONTROL the BLACK POPULATION?

Is any of this in your history books? Let me ask you this as well.

Can a student speak up when he/she disagrees with a teacher when they say that Trump is a horrible president, or the electoral college has to be eliminated?

Don't think so?

Well, I know a student that this actually happened to.

When the teacher said it had to be eliminated because Hillary lost, and he stated the reason it should stay, she ripped him apart and gave the entire class a 5-hour test, and stated it was because he DARED to disagree with her.

Is that happening in your schools?

I'm only asking questions. I'd like your answers.

President Trump and his entire family has been vilified, demeaned and disrespected, for one reason and one reason only. HE WON!

Have you noticed the DEMOCRATS only throw tantrums and OBJECT to everything he does and have NEVER ONCE gotten behind him to make America the best it can be?

WHY? They can't afford to get behind him. He would WIN AGAIN, and they can't let that happen.

If he wins again, the Democrat party will be destroyed, and they know it.

Did you notice that the "CAGES" the left claimed that Trump built to put Illegal children in, WERE BUILT BY OBAMA for the very purpose of PUTTING ILLEGAL CHILDREN IN THEM?

Was THAT all over the news when Obama did it?

The very same "CAGES", but the media was silent!

How about when Trump commuted Roger Stone's sentence, and was DEMONIZED 24/7, but NOT A WORD when Obama commuted 1715 inmates, which included 330 that he granted on his last day in office.

DID WE EVEN HEAR one WORD about it?

Were there reporters even reporting it? NO!

Just look at the difference in the reporting. By the way, since Trump's been in office, he's commuted 10 people. Compare that to Obama. Is that reporting fair?

How about when Biden and Obama allowed the H1N1, the SWINE FLU, to INFECT MILLIONS of Americans before declaring it a health emergency.

Was the press losing its minds and calling it the OBAMAFLU AND BLAMING OBAMA and BIDEN for the spread? SILENCE!

Compare this to the NEGATIVE COVERAGE that Trump got when, he immediately halted travel from China when, in February, Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown and said come on down, or when DeBlasio, in March, said ride the subways and go to Broadway.

But those same people are blaming Trump for the spread of coronavirus.

A FINAL QUESTION:

What have the DEMOCRATS done to help make America the best, to get behind a President that works tirelessly to care about WE THE PEOPLE instead of using us as political pawns.

What have the Democrats done for people of color EXCEPT for GIVING ILLEGALS more rights than citizens and having us pay for it.

JUST imagine what this country could accomplish if the Democrats worked with him on the economy, the coronavirus, the inner cities where he's created opportunity zones, job training etc.

When Trump tried to get school choice for inner-city students, they ran Betsy Devos out!

The Democrats running those inner-city schools wanted no part of school choice.

Have you ever wondered why it's cities that have been run, for decades, that have the MOST HOMELESS, the MOST CRIME, the most MURDERS, the worst INNER-CITY schools, ARE ALL RUN BY DEMOCRATS?

If you haven't started asking yourselves those questions, maybe you should.

COEUR D’ALENE, IDAHO STANDS UP…

I am truly honored to share this story! Thank you, Bruce, for sharing.

COEUR D’ALENE, IDAHO STANDS UP…ANTIFA STANDS DOWN! 2^nd Amendment Rights!

 If you ventured to downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho last night you would think you had entered a Militia family reunion. No one has an accurate count of how many heavily armed citizens came out to support peaceful protestors and protect local businesses and citizens against shipped in ANTIFA members, but it was certainly HUNDREDS, perhaps over a THOUSAND.

“We just drove downtown Coeur d’Alene. It is packed with armed citizens. I’ve never seen so many AR-15s in my life. There’s at least a thousand-armed citizens walking on the sidewalks and the streets are packed with cars and trucks with guys in the back with AR-15 and American flags everywhere. We saw two protesters wearing their little black clothing and black masks and sitting on a step quietly with their little poster board sign saying, “our system sucks!” Guess why they’re being so polite.” ~ Keith Gibson, Coeur d’Alene resident.

Word got out that ANTIFA was going to ship in rioters to mingle with peaceful protestors in our quiet little town…and indeed they did as several white Mercedes vans were seen with dozens of people that didn’t belong in our community. It was also made known that they were planning to use the local WINCO store as their staging ground. After learning this, a well-organized local group of concerned citizens set up a post in the parking lot to ensure that these unwelcomed invaders clearly understood that the citizens of Coeur d’Alene would have ZERO tolerance for any type of violence or destructive behavior in our town.

Concerned Citizen removing crowbar from ANTIFA member 

Don’t tell me you’re peaceful and bring a crowbar to a protest…. not in our town… Was happy to remove it from their possession as we escorted him to his vehicle [and just to clarify the guy in the beard handed me the crow bar when I requested it, His name is Sam and he did get that guy to leave ] ~ Brett Surplus, Coeur d’Alene resident

The downtown area of Coeur d’Alene, ID was wall to wall with armed citizens, who protected the city for the entire night. Many had posts directly in front of local businesses while others walked the sidewalks making their powerful presence known.

What was witnessed last night, 06/01/20 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, was PROOF that Good Guys with guns keep bad guys with evil intent away. There was unity in a cause to protect the community. There were young people, old people, individuals from all walks of life out patrolling the community and believe it or not, EVERYONE, except the ANTIFA creeps felt extremely safe!

We were surrounded by people so heavily armed…there was literally thousands of guns of all types…most people had several different weapons on them, and I never felt more safe in such a huge crowd in my entire life! ~ Grayson Cross, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho resident

How I See It

IF YOU WANT TO UNFRIEND ME AFTER THIS, please do, my page my views.

💯% Let me break it down...

1. Joe Biden isn’t winning just like Hillary wasn't winning.

2. Bubba Wallace wasn’t a victim.

3. Black lives do matter, along with everyone else.

4. What happened to George Floyd, should never happen again.

5. All cops definitely aren’t bad, nor are they all racist.

6. Trump is the President.

7. Rioters and looters have nothing to do with George Floyd. (And should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law).

8. Police lives matter.

9. Unborn lives matter.

10. Colin Kaepernick isn’t a hero, and never will be.

11. CNN isn’t news (nor is MSNBC)

12. Elizabeth Warren isn’t Indian just a fake person.

13. Facebook only censors conservatives.

14. All lives do matter (red, yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight).

15. COVID 19 is real but it is also being used to gauge just how much of our freedom they can take away.

16. All fear is fueled by the media, this is a fact.

17. God is still in control and always will be.

18. Epstein did not kill himself, but NASCAR did kill themselves.

20. There is NO White Privilege, we all have American Privilege. Get off your ass and work for nicer things if you want them.

21. There are no slave owners or slaves still living. There are no people trying to enslave anyone in the U.S., except for those here illegally selling women and children into the slave trade. And when the perpetrators are caught, their cold bodies should be thrown back over the wall.

Department of Education and you

Why is there a Federal, Department of Education in America?

How does DOE serve America’s students?

1.     Establishes policies relating to federal financial aid for education, administers distribution of those funds and monitors their use.

2.     Collects data and oversees research on America's schools and disseminates this information to Congress, educators and the general public.

3.     identifies the major issues and problems in education and focuses national attention on them.

4.     Enforces federal statutes prohibiting discrimination in programs and activities receiving federal funds and ensures equal access to education for every individual.

Should the Department be closed? 

Is there a better way to accomplish these duties? 

How would you change the Department of Education in America?

Shared Facebook Post

This may open up a ton of outraged comments by some. Many who will argue how "wrong" this post is. My suggestion, save your time and effort! You're not changing the reality of what we are living by trying to somehow justify this insanity. Nevertheless, I couldn't resist because we are becoming the Twilight Zone.

We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!

§  If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

§  Somehow, it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

§  Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.

§  It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquiries about it.

§  Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.

§  People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

§  Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.

§  People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

§  Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

§  Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.

§  $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

§  If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.

§  People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

§  We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.

§  Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

§  Criminals are catch-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

§  And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!

Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus.

We are living in an upside-down world for sure.

To all…..great piece

From a (justly) worried old geezer

The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday: 47 times.

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, blue hairs, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire, others are from the Greatest Generation already retired. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and have grown old together.

In school we studied English, history, math, and science, which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. We still use two spaces after a period when typing. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, $.25 gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes.

We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Vietnam. We can quote “The Pledge of Allegiance” and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag.

We know the words to the “Star Spangled Banner,” “America,” and “America the Beautiful” by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you should have read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America.

Yes, we are older and slower these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We love this country, fought and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country, and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that’s an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies” from your college professors. 

You youngsters need to taste socialism and see evil face to face to understand you don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise, most are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.’

Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2016 we took back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like, but we get where we're going, and in 2020 we're driving to the polls again by the millions.

So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor your country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Gray-Haired Brigade."

Footnote: This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this still great country. Can you feel the ground shaking? It's not an earthquake, it’s a STAMPEDE. And, you and I are members.

JUDGE WILLIAM YOUNG, SENTENCES THE SHOE BOMBER

As we celebrate our Freedom over the 4^th of July weekend, let us don’t forget how important Freedom is.  

JUDGE WILLIAM YOUNG, SENTENCES THE SHOE BOMBER 

I hope you will read every word!   Pray for more Judges like this one.

US District Court Judge William Young made the following statement in sentencing "shoe bomber" Richard Reid to prison.  It is noteworthy, and deserves to be remembered far longer than he predicts. I commend it to you and anyone you might wish to forward it to. 

January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid. Judge Young: Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you. 

On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the custody of the United States Attorney General. 

On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutive with the other. That's 80 years. 

On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years consecutive to the 80 years just imposed. The Court imposes upon you each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 for the aggregate fine of $2 million. 

The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines. 

The Court imposes upon you the $800 special assessment. 

The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further. 

This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence. Let me explain this to you. 

We are not afraid of any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is all too much war talk here. And I say that to everyone with the utmost respect.  Here in this court, where we deal with individuals as individuals, and care for individuals as individuals, as human beings we reach out for justice, you are not an enemy combatant.  You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist.  To give you that reference, to call you a soldier gives you far too much stature.  Whether it is the officers of government who do it or your attorney who does it,  or that happens to be your view, you are a terrorist.  And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice. 

So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior.  I know warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal guilty of multiple attempted murders. 

In a very real sense Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and where the TV crews were and he said you're no big deal. You're no big deal. 

What your counsel, what your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific.  What was it that led you here to this courtroom today?  I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing.  And I have an answer for you.  It may not satisfy you.  But as I search this entire record it comes as close to understanding as I know.  It seems to me you hate the one thing that is most precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, and to believe or not believe as we individually choose. 

Here, in this society, the very winds carry freedom.  They carry it everywhere from sea to shining sea.  It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom.  So that everyone can see, truly see that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely.  It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf and have filed appeals, will go on in their, their representation of you before other judges. We are about it.  Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bear any burden, pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. 

Look around this courtroom. Mark it well.  The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here. Day after tomorrow it will be forgotten. But this, however, will long endure.  Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America, the American people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being done. 

The very President of the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged,  and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically,  to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice. 

See that flag Mr. Reid?  That's the flag of the United States of America. That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. You know it always will. 

Custody Mr. Officer. Stand him down. 

How much of this Judge's comments did you hear on our TV sets?  

ZERO!

Please pass this around.  Everyone needs to hear what the judge had to say.
