They have been fighting for a flood diversion ever since the flood of ’97.

That flood wipe out Grand Forks along with the fire.  Because of that flood, the Federal Government bailed them out and built a diversion flood wall.

Does the city of Fargo expect the same things from the Federal Government?

During that flood, the mayor of Grand Forks wasn’t very well prepared for it; so they deserved to be flooded out. It was poor city planning on their part.

The only reason Fargo didn’t get flooded out then was because at the time Dennis Walecker works for the Fargo streets.  He knew what to do to prepare for the flood.  That was why he was the right choice for mayor when he ran.  He will be remembered.

The idea of the Federal Government paying for the diversion, I disagree with.  Why should the Federal Government pay for everything.  That is why we have the debts we have.  North Dakota had a huge surplus because of the oil boom.  What happened to it?  They just sat on it.

The city of Fargo wasn’t hurting themselves either.  They tax property owner through the nose.  They are finally fixing up downtown thanks to Doug Burgum.

The city of Fargo is doing better financially than Moorhead.  All because of better city planning.  I mentioned this before when Moorhead lost out after businesses were allowed to be open on Sunday in North Dakota.

They even voted for special tax votes and still nothing.

If I was in Washington, I would say you got the money, come up with a good plan that will benefit all people not just a few.  The Federal Government will not help.  You weren’t flooded out.

Once again it’s that entitlement thing.  They feel that the Federal Government owes them.  That is not true!

The battle over the flood diversion goes very deep.

Have you ever been down by Oxbow and Hickson?  I have!  Let me say this, “on one side of the road it’s the rich side and the other is the poor side.”  You know which side is which.  It’s seem very strange and comical.

The only reason why Oxbow wanted the flood diversion is because they can get a new club house  and golf course out of it.  They didn’t care what happened to Hickson.  That’s a crying shame!  Where is the justice in that?

Do you know what Jesus would say to them in Oxbow?  You have your rewards.  You’re not willing to think about others who are in the same boat as you.  The people of Hickson deserve protection as well as the people of Oxbow.

As my step-dad would say, “If you build on an old lake bottom, you deserve to be flooded out.”

If you know your history, where the Fargo is, use to be Lake Agazzie.

Just like if you build by a river, expect to be flooded out.  You may think that it may looks very nice.  How is it when it’s floods out?  Not so nice is it?

I understand that the reason for building by the river was because the trade industry.  The city of Fargo had years to prepare from being flooded out.  Yet they done nothing but bicker with one another; in hoping that the Federal Government will finance a flood diversion like they did for Grand Forks.

Now both North Dakota and Minnesota is working together to come up with a workable flood plan.  Both Burgum and Dayton are working together.

Not everyone will be happy though.  You can’t please everyone.

If you build high enough, you will not get flooded.  Down on the farm we were on a hill.  I also remember the summer of ’75.  There was an overland flood in the end of June and the beginning of July.  We were living in West Fargo.  Since we were up higher, we didn’t get flooded.  The entrance way into the trailer court got flooded.

The last few years we have been lucky.  We haven’t got too much snow.  So now is the time to think of getting a diversion built to protect ourselves for the next great flood.

I’m not saying that we should go to the extreme of Noah in Genesis and build an ark.

As the Oak Ridge Boys sang, “It’s going to take a lot of river to wash away.”

If you are going to build on a lake bottom or by a river, you must be prepared to be flooded out. Or else you must finds ways to protect yourself, so that don’t happen.

In the flood of ’97, I was working at the Fargo Country Club and I helped sandbag .

One of the biggest money making business out there is sex trafficking.  It is also illegal and very dangerous.

Sex trafficking is highly profitable and usually where the most money can be made.

When the oil boom hit the western part of North Dakota, so did sex trafficking came in rapidly.

Most recently, when the Super Bowl was played in Minneapolis, MN, sex trafficking also became very prominent there as well.

There is also sex trafficking from other countries.  People are selling themselves just to get a chance to come to the United States.  Even children are victims of sex trafficking; not just here in this country but also abroad.

Amsterdam is one of the biggest European city that really profit from sex trafficking.  Even the Philippine, been know to be apart of the sex trafficking industry.

Now churches are finally getting involved to combat sex trafficking in other countries.  The missionaries are fighting hard against it.  Some are even being killed or tortured because they are hurting their prime source of money.

Children are being sold for sex!  So it’s not just women!

Men can order themselves a bride from other countries on the internet, if they want.  I had women from Russia who would e-mail me, pleading for me to pay for their way into this country.

Even Craig’s list can be used for sex trafficking.

These strip joints out there is just a cover for sex trafficking.  I won’t name them but I’m sure you know who they are.

Whatever your liking it’s out there.  Whatever you prefer, you can find it for a price.

If you like bondage sex, that too is out there.  I won’t go into that because that is a whole different subject.

Some may be surprised that even Fargo, ND has their share of sex trafficking.  Whatever you are into, it’s there.

I remember when I was home sick the time I worked at Concordia College.  I happened to have a talk show on and I noticed them talking about the sex trafficking even in Fargo.  I even found out for those who are into it. there is even young male prostitute selling themselves, to either men or women.

Sometimes when teenagers, both girls and boys run away to bigger city or Hollywood, they will end up selling themselves on the streets just to make money to survive.

Sometimes when the parents had thrown them out and for them to survive, they have to sell themselves.  Some of them were abused at home; so they don’t know any other ways to survive.

When I was a teenager, I would hear stories how people from the Twin City would come up to Fargo and West Acres looking for young teenagers to take back with them.  The advise, I would get was to never go to the bathroom alone.  go with the person you are with and wait outside the bathroom until both are done.

This is why I had a hard time thinking why the Jacob Wetteling  kidnapper  only took Jacob and left witnesses.

Even these child beauty pageant is a form of sex trafficking.  These dirty old men uses them to see what they can get for their pleasures.  Any parents who pushes their kids into the beauty pageant is unfit and abusive as a parent.  They are just as guilty in sex trafficking.

Brooke Shield, herself, said that she regret the route that her mother took for her to become famous.  She admitted that what she went through was a form of sex trafficking.  She would never do that to her kids.

Many young Hollywood stars were used sexually either on the set or by their agents.

Sex trafficking is a dangerous business.  It ruins many young lives.  Some of them would even wind up dead because of an abusive partner.  Many will get AIDS or other sexual transmitted diseases out there.

It’s not just big in this country. It is also a big business in other countries as well.  Countries that is so poor, the sex trafficker will take advantage of these young people to get them to come to the United States.

The big question is: how do we stop it?  How do we protect those caught up in sex trafficking, women, men, young boys, and young girls?

The police has police sting to do what they can, but that only hit a minor part of it.

As I said earlier, the church is finally trying to fight against sex trafficking in other countries.  The bad part is missionaries are either being killed or tortured because of their involvement.  The reason is because they are cutting into the big business of sex trafficking.

Whatever your preference, it’s out there.  It’s not hard to find, if you really want it.

I could go on but I will leave some for another blog.

All I will say is we must end this dirty business of sex trafficking.  We must save our young people from being force to sell themselves, by using their body as a sexual tool.

I wrote a short story on this years ago.  Maybe I will print it for a blog if you guys are interested.

 

In light of Valentine’s Day coming up this coming Wednesday, Feb. 14, I thought I lighten it up a little.  The men may not be happy of me giving away our secrets; but the women will truly loves reading this blog.

First of all, Valentine’s Day was created by women.  If it weren’t for women, men wouldn’t have anything to do with this holiday.

Valentine’s Day is a sentimental, romantic holiday.

You all heard of  the book, “Men are from Mars and Women from Venus.”  Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s not as difficult as the author wants us to believe.

Us, men would be happy with a cold beer in one hand and a beautiful woman by our side, or riding shotgun. Us, men loves fast cars and fast women. As I said in my blog on breastfeeding, men are pigs.  We have sex on the brain.  We do most of our thinking about women with our organ down below our belt.

Emotions doesn’t come easy for us men.  That is why Valentine’s Day is a women’s holiday.

Men also finds it difficult to ask for help.  Our pride gets in the way.  If we’re lost we will continue driving until we find what we are looking for.

Whatever help we may need, men will not seek it.  By seeking the help, it will only admit to our weakness.  We want to remain strong!

Men will find it difficult to admit being victims of abuse.  Men are taught to be strong from childhood.  They are taught to not show any emotions at all.  The only emotions that is shown is anger, and that is through violence.

When it comes to expressing our feelings to a woman, it is very difficult for us men to do.  I speak from experience here.  I’ve had woman that I was interested in; but I could never expressed my feelings toward them.  Maybe this is why I’m still single, and not for the lack of trying on my part.

I have kissed a few girls in my life.  My first kiss happened when I was 10 years old.  Then when I was 13, and in the seventh grade, I kissed the girl I had a crush on since the 6th grade.  Her name was Janet.

When I was in college, there was an older woman named Susan, who I became friends with.  We went roller skating together, and even held hands.  We ate supper together in the dining hall.  Anyway, bunch of guys in my dorm thought that we had more going on together than what we had.  Men are more apt to fall for peer pressure.  So I did just that, and believe that was the biggest mistake I made.  I lost the best thing in my life.

My real father nickname was, “Whistler’s.”   I, myself cannot whistle.  I guess, you can say I pick up more of my step-dad ‘s traits.

Some may think this was creepy, but my mother thought it was romantic when my step-dad got in her house to say either marry him or she will never see him again.

There were others women I was interested in after Susan.  I’m not going to name them all.  There is one I will mentioned though.  She was the last one as of date. Her name was Danielle.  She lived in my apartment building.  I’ve been to her apartment and she had been to mine.  I’ve gave her a hug because I saw that she needed it.  Believe me, it felt good.  Guys knows what I’m talking about!  I even made Strawberry Margarita and brought her some.  I just couldn’t put my feelings out there to let her know how I felt about her.

When a man loves a woman, he will do anything for her.  Whatever she wants, her man will do what he can to get it for her.

Women has that spell on us guys that way.

Things that men normally wouldn’t like, they will like because of the woman they are trying to win over.  From the music we listen to, to whatever else it may be.

If you ask me, I would say that women are harder to understand.  They are harder to satisfy.  They are more complex than us men.

When a woman asked a man something, she really doesn’t want the truth.  For example: when she asked, “Does this dress make me looks fat?”  Don’t tell her it does when it does.  She will only get mad and may deny you what all men wants.  SEX!!  There I said folks!

So you see, men are not hard to figure out.  Women knows exactly what we truly desired.  It’s you, women that is hard to figure out.  Us guys will do anything for you.

If a woman wants romance for such days as Valentine’s Day, we’ll romance you with chocolate, flowers, etc.

Before I get to the main reason for this blog I have to say, way to go Eagles for winning one for the gipper( Carson Wentz).  He brought you to the playoff and you took it home.  Good job Eagles!!

I also want to say this blogger was prepared to eat his words involving the Minnesota Vikings; but they just choked as usual during the playoff.  They could had made history by being the first team to ever have home field advantage at the Super Bowl.  It would been nice to see.

Now let’s get to the real reason for this blog.

What is this about kneeling to the anthem?  I know that this is a free country.  So you have every rights to do that.  But out of respect for those who fought and died for our freedom, you should stand up during the National Anthem.

I understand the reason for doing it.  I’m not against social injustice.  You are just hurting the NFL organization and yourself by doing it continually.

This is as bad as protester who burned the flag during the Vietnam War.  The American flags stood for freedom and for those who fought for it.

The blacks not the only one who face social injustice.  Those who are poor and white also face social injustice.  You don’t see us disrespecting this country and those who fought for our freedom?

When I was in school, every morning we would say the Pledge to the Allegiance to the flag.  My big question is, do they still do that now in this country?

My answer to that is a big NO.  The ACLU had gotten involved to put a stop to that.

If you don’t like this country and respect those who fought so you can have the freedom you now enjoy.  You can get the hell out!

We stand during the National Anthem out of respect.  The same way those in church stand up for the reading the Word in the Bible.  We do it out of respect.  If you are not willing to do it, as Merle Haggard sang, “You are walking on the fighting side of me.”

The NFL organization had lost a lot of respect and viewers over this and they not taking a right stand for America.

I was never in the military but I was in Cub Scout and so I know about respecting America.  I had relatives and friends who fought or even were in service.  I had a cousin who was killed during the Vietnam War.  I never knew him since I was only about 3 years old.  My hat goes off to all those who fought for our freedom.  I love our military.

I love this country and will gladly stand up for her everyday.  God bless the USA!!

What gets me, if people hate this country so much?  Why do they keep coming here?

They come here for the freedom that we have that they never had in their own country.

While watching the State of the Union, this past Tuesday, it was something to see.  Only the Republicans stood up and chanted USA during Pres. Trump’s speech.  The Democrats just sat there like a lump of coal.  They don’t love this country either.

If Hillary Clinton would had gotten in, the Islamic terrorist would had their flag waving over the White House instead of ours.  If the Islamic terrorist were in control their would be even less social injustice than what it is right now.  They don’t like women to be in control.

The Democrats is UN-America.  Pres. Kennedy would roll over in his grave he knew how bad the Democrats had become.  Kennedy was a Nationalist, like Reagan and now Pres. Trump.

The only reason the Democrats wants the illegal immigrants to come to this country is to get the votes.  A true American would not vote Democrats.

If you hate this country so bad, you can leave!  USA, USA, USA!!

As for me and my family, I will continue standing up during the National Anthem and for the American Flag.

I understand you wanting to take a stand for social injustice.  I’m all for that!  When you are affecting the American flag and those who fought and died for our freedom, that is where I draw the line.  I don’t like the social injustice either.

 

 

As you may or may have heard the latest talk going on about breast feeding.  People are upset that mothers are breastfeeding their babies in public; at least according to the mothers doing it.  Well I’m here to set the record straight.

It’s not the idea that you are breastfeeding in public that being offensive.  It’s the idea that you are not using any tact while doing it.

Mothers had always breastfed their babies throughout history.  There wasn’t any complaints about it before.  The reason, they used some tact.  They used their common sense when it came to breastfeeding in public.  There is an appropriate way in breastfeeding.

You got to understand, us men are pigs!  When we see breast of a beautiful woman, we are going to ogled.  If you don’t want us to do it, find a appropriate way to breastfeed the baby.  I’m not saying  you have to stop doing it in a restaurant.

You wouldn’t like it if a man sat next to you and just whip it out would you?

If a man was to take a whiz outside, he would be arrested, fined, charged, and made to registered as a sex offender.  What about you woman who inappropriately breastfeed your babies in public.  Don’t you think that you too should be charged, fined, arrested, and registered as a sex offender?

I wouldn’t doubt  the same woman who accused men of sexual assault are the same who inappropriately breastfeed their babies in public.

It’s almost like, you wouldn’t wear a very short dress or skirt to church, either for a wedding or a funeral or just church service?  Those dresses are so short, when you bend over, everyone can see what you don’t want to be seen.  Or do you want people to see it?  Dress appropriately, that’s all!

I’m not saying that you have to  dress like a nun and cover-up completely.  You can still dress sexy and wear nice clothes, just do it with some tact.

Just like guys, when you wear your pants, no one wants to see your boxer.  Pull those pants up.

When I was a teenager, and if our underwear was showing, we would either get a snuggy or our pants pulled down to our ankles, just to embarrass us right in front of everyone.  If you do that now to a teenager, they will say, “He touch me inappropriately.”

This is not just a black guy thing about wearing your pants down low and boxers up high.  White teenage boys do it too.

I just don’t understand how you can walk like that.  If my pants were down like that, I would feel expose.

Believe me, I like to wear a little bigger clothes; that way they don’t feel tight on me.

It’s even bad to see someone butt crack.  It’s as disgusting to see.  It turns my stomach.  Pull your pants up!  Wear a belt or suspender!

How about an older lady dressing as though she is still sexy and in her 20’s.  You are not the same as you were back then.  Don’t try to dress like you are.

The same goes to the older men out there.  Don’t try to dress like you are still young and in your 20’s.  Older men, please don’t wear speedos!

Actually us older men, got a huge gut and hairy back and even hairy chest.  We don’t have the bodies we had when we were younger.

Just like you older ladies don’t have the same bodies you had when you were younger.

I don’t know it you seen the video of Joe Nichols’ song, “Tequila makes her clothes fall off.”  In that video, the grandmother came back home to see a party going on and she got down herself.  By the end of the video she says, “let’s get naked.” Believe me, you don’t want to see that.

So you women out there who is upset that no one wants you to feed your babies.  I’m not telling you not to breastfeed.  All I’m saying, use some common sense when doing so.  If you don’t want us men to fondle you either with our hands or eyes, think before you do.  Usually woman has a towel covering their breast while they are feeding their baby.  They don’t just whip it out.

Young men/boys pull up your pants!  No one wants to see your boxers either.  No one wants to see your butt crack either.

Dress your age!  Don’t dress as though you are still young and sexy.

This is not a porn!!   I’m not really naked.

We have become so addicted to our phones and computers.  We cannot leave home without our phone without realizing something is definitely missing.

Last summer I had written in one of my blog that I could do well living out in the wilderness.  Well something happened to make me rethink this.  Something that cause me consider writing this blog.

Last Fall I had my phone taken and had to get a new one replace under my replacement plan.  Since I was without a phone for 2-3 days, I felt rather naked without it.

It got me thinking what we did and how we survived years ago without a cell phone and a computer.

As you know a cell phone is everywhere.  You can’t leave home without it; otherwise you will be lost.

Years ago, people did their calling from home on the old landline phone.  You were even charge long distance for any long distance call.  The phone was first rotary, then became push button.  The rotary was very hard on your fingers.

Even before my time, when a person made a call, they went through the operator to make it.

If you happened to be out and about and needed to make a phone call, you could find a pay phone, practically every corner to call someone to let them know that you are on your way.

Only those who had a car phone was businessman or lawyer.  Those phones were huge also.  You couldn’t just put it in your pocket or purse.

I never thought I would get a cell phone but believe I’m glad I did.  The reason I got my first cell phone was because I had too much trouble with my landline phone, being dependable.  So when an offer was made to lump my phone and internet together, I took it.  I eventually had to separated the phone and internet from my phone bill.

Everywhere you go you see either people talking on the cell phone or texting someone.  They are even holding onto the phone.  They cannot just put it in their pocket or purse.  It’s almost like they are afraid that they might miss out on something.

They are driving with the phone up to their ear or reading  or writing a text message.  One of the reason for distracted drivers.  Or else they are walking and have the their phone in their hand.  They are even going into a store with a phone in their hand.  Put your phone in your pocket or purse!  The call is not that important that you cannot call back later.

How about going to a concert or play and is ask to put your phone away?  How many will still have their phone out texting someone?  We are so addicted to our phone and it’s a crying shame.

There is no face to face conversation hardly anymore.  The old joke is a family is sitting at the supper table, and they all are on their phone texting one another.  When the power goes out, they stop and look at each other and they had nothing to say.

Years ago, telemarketer would call during supper time.  Now they call whenever possible.

Even computers are becoming more prominent in every homes.  I never had a computer growing up.  The only computer training I had was in college and a little in high school.  Now I’m starting to make money with my computer through writing my blogs.

Kids today are being taught on the computers at an early age.  They don’t go outside much to play.  They are busy playing computer games.

When I was a kid, we had to use our imagination in playing games outside.  We would pretend to be motorcycle gang and ride our bikes in the neighborhood.  If you want to play video games, you went to the arcade.

When my internet was down for 2-3 days, I felt lost without it as well.

Now days when parents are disciplining their kids, if they send them to their room, the kids are so happy to go there because they have all their electronics in there.  If a parent wants to discipline their kids, they have to take away their phones, computers, etc.

I don’t think that kids under 13 should have a cell phone.  They need to be old enough to learn responsibility first.  Years ago, kids never had cell phone and if a parent needed to get a hold of them, they either called the school or the neighbor.  People now days don’t even know their own neighbors.

The only socializing kids are getting is on the internet, such as Facebook and Skype.  You never really knows who your kids are talking to, like in the old days.

I could go with this subject but I think you get the message.

As the world we are so addicted to our phones and computers.  We will be lost and naked without them.  How else do we stay in tough with the world?  Maybe it’s time we consider putting our phone away and go back talking face to face with someone.  Open communication is dead!

 

For those who have been keeping up with my blog, here it is, part 3.

As I said in last week blog, the reason for all this racial tension in America isn’t because of Pres. Trump.  The real person too blame is Pres. Obama.

As you know we remembered Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday tomorrow.  He was a big civil rights march movement leader. Everyone should remember his, “I had a Dream” speech.  In the speech he said, “all are created equal.”

I’m not saying that it happened overnight, by no means.  We still struggle with equality for everyone.

As the United States elected their first African American President in 2008, with Barak Obama.  He could had lived up to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy, but he failed at that.  One thing it proved was that Obama was only interested in himself, like so many of these career politicians.

I have to admit I was dupe by him and his promise of change in America.  I felt that he was different than what we had in Washington.  He proved to be just like all the rest.

Where’s the change Pres. Obama?  It sure didn’t happened under you.  The change is happening right now under Pres. Trump.

When Obama was President, there were lots of cops shooting; in which the cops had to shoot the victims just to protect themselves.  It just happened, that the victims were people of colors.  When that happened, what did Obama do?  He made a big racial stink out of it.  Then the fake news media just ate it up.

Now when Pres. Trump make any racial comment, the fake news media calls him a racist bigot.  Like it was ok for Obama but not for Trump!  If they want to be treated as equal, they need quit crying foul and playing the race card.  I don’t think Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted it this way.

He, like Rodney King wants everyone to just get along.  Remember what Rodney King said, “Can’t we all just get along.”

This country was founded on the melting pot theory.  We are one nation with many nationality.  We are a diverse country; yet we don’t act like it.

It was Abraham Lincoln who was behind freeing the slaves in this country.

It was Ronald Reagan who signed the bill to make Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday a national holiday.

They were 2 Republicans President and the greatest President at that.

What had the Democrats done for equality for all but rather complain about it?  Or like Obama, make race a big issues during his whole time in office?

I belong to a multinational church in Moorhead, MN.  Let me tell you, we do much better at diversity than this country does.  How we do it is because of the love we have for one another and for serving God.

Equality is a hard things to get because we are not all equal.  Somebody will always cry foul one way or another.

I remember after the bombing of the World’s Trade Center on 9/11.  I was working at Concordia College at the time.  Let me tell you this: that day, I felt tension in the air while at work at Concordia College.

I think the reasons behind the tension were 2 reasons.  The American people were scared and concerned for this country.  The other reason was, some of the college students, that was from another country; especially the Middle East, was scared for their safety.

So I guess there is our equality, our common ground with one another.

If we can just find common grounds with people of different race, color, and nationality; we can get along.

As I said in a previous blog, not all Muslims are terrorist.  It’s only the radical Islam.  The radical Muslim even attack their own people if they don’t go along with them.

Even Christians have some bad seeds as well to give Christians a bad name.  As Donny Osmond sang, “One bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole batch.”

So those who wants equality, you must come to common ground with others.  Don’t constantly play the race card; without knowing the facts.

One thing that did happened after 9/11, we all became united.  United we stand, united we fall.

There is always going to be hate in the world.  The devil wants us to hate others. We don’t have to hate though.

Jesus taught us to love one another despite our differences.  As John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave us His one and only son; so that we may have life, eternally.”  Jesus is loved and the world is hate!

 

I think it was a big mistake for Kmart to build Sears out. You ought to read my blogs at Speaking out with Dale Heger. Especially the blog I wrote titled, “Sears is an albatross Kmart neck.”

lampertblog's avatarEddie Lampert's Blog

At Sears Holdings’ annual stockholders meeting this week, we talked a lot about the difference between turnarounds and transformations. I want to share some of those thoughts here.

Turnarounds happen when a company succeeds again at doing what it had once done successfully before. Transformations are almost entirely different – they occur when companies adapt their business model to fundamental shifts in technology, competitive landscapes, government policies and regulations, or macro trends to serve their customers (or, in our case, members) in new ways. Over the last decade, incidentally, Sears and Kmart have faced all of the challenges I just listed.

As you might expect, we talked a lot about Sears and Kmart at our annual meeting. But we also took a close look at the transformations of three other companies: Apple Inc. (formerly Apple Computer), General Dynamics Corporation, and Eastman Kodak Company. I want to be clear that I…

I know that the title is from a great Billy Joe’s song; and a great singer he is.  This title of that song just fit so nicely for this blog on the tension in America.

Let me just say this right off the bat.  Pres. Trump isn’t responsible for all the tension in America.  Even though, the Democrats and fake news media tell you different.  Whatever you do, don’t believe a word they tell you.  Take it with a grain of salt!

The fire been brewing for some times now.  The American people had been very upset with the Government for a very long time.  They have been upset with the fake news media for almost as long.

I remember growing up and my step-dad would say at the supper table, “One of these days, the American people is going to be so upset with the Federal Government that they will start an uprising against them.”  Well look like the time is now!

The Tea Party movement had started during Pres. George W. Bush’s terms in office.  He was part of the establishment that the American people was so upset with.  Even though, he was a Republican, he was being more like a Democrat. He may claimed to be a Reagan Republican; but say that is a big fat lie.  I’m more of a Reagan Republican that he ever was.

He did a lot of wasteful spending when he was President.  The way he handled the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, he made that war into another Vietnam.

There is a lot of racial tension in America but Trump is not too blame for that either.  The blame goes to Pres. Obama.  I won’t say too much on that, because I will save it for part 3.  All I will say is this, There had been more racial tension under Obama then any other President.

Sure, there have the rising of Neo-Nazi since Trump first ran for President.  It’s only because he says what the American people are thinking.  Trump only tells like it is and the people are so upset with him.  They must be upset with themselves then as well; they just won’t admit it.

All these sexual harassment scandal, Trump is not to blame for that either.

First of all, ever since Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy, had died; that is when all this sexual harassment went down.

I mean, if Hillary Clinton was elected president, would we have this sexual harassment scandal.  I say, “Hell no, we wouldn’t!!”

How quickly Hillary Clinton and the fake news media forget what happen when Bill Clinton was president?  Remember, his nickname was/is slick Willy.

I’m going to remind you all what Slick Willy did when he was President.  First of all look at all the women he had an affair with Hillary just stood by his side.  He done it with Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky and many others.  Then he lied about it!  What did Hillary do?  She never stood by those women.  She made them out to be liars.

What about Congressman Weiner and his sex scandal?  Hillary called those women who accused both Bill Clinton and Weiner as downright liars.  You women wanted Hillary and thinks that she will back you up in the sexual harassment scandal?  Think again before you get angry at Trump!

Oprah Winphry and the press thinks they are getting a bad rap right now.  The American people is only seeing the press for what they are.  They have no integrity and they do not report the news fairly.  They are very bias.

They attack Trump but not once did they went after Hillary Clinton for all of her crimes.  Trump saw it and he let them have it. All they do now is cry, “Woe is me. Trump is just a big bully.”

If the press would do their job fairly like they are suppose to, Trump wouldn’t have to go after them. Also maybe the American people will believe them.

As I said in previous blogs, the reporters is suppose to stick to the facts and ask the 5 w’s., and they are not suppose to be bias.  The last great news reporter with actual integrity was Walter Cronkite.

The Washington Post and New York Time is the most Liberal newspaper out there.

President Trump is doing what the American people elected him to do.  He is at work cleaning up the swamp in Washington.  He had done more good things as President in his first year than any other President since Ronald Reagan.  The press didn’t like Reagan either.

Keep up the good work, Pres. Trump!  Clean up that swamp in Washington!  The time is now for term limits for our Senators and Congressman.  If you have been office for more than 2 terms step down and go back home and live with what you did.  I don’t believe that they are in it for the money as they are for the power that comes with being in office.  Since being in office, they have more than one mansions.  They forget about the American people.  Well, the American people is mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.  That is why Trump was elected.  He is only saying what we don’t have the guts to say.

Stay tune for next week continue saga.  As Paul Harvey would say, “Stay tune for the rest of the story next week.”  There we will continue the racial tension as we go after Pres. Obama.  This will all be in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy New Year to all my readers out there!!

This will be the first of a 3 part blog.  This one I will review how well I think Pres. Trump is doing for his first year in office.

This has been a rather busy year for Pres. Trump and for the fake news media.

The Democrats and the fake news media had been looking for ways to get Trump impeach by crying foul.  They kept saying that Russia was somehow involved in our election process; which cause Trump to get elected.

Remember, before the election, the Democrats would say that the election isn’t fix.  They sure sang a different tune since Hillary Clinton loss though.  Now they are whining and grasping at straws.

You can’t tell me that the Russian were behind the election?  Like they are trying to sell me ocean front property in Arizona, I don’t buy it.  The Russians don’t have that much power to influence our election process.

Trump won because the American people saw right through crooked Hillary lies.  They didn’t fall for the fake news media like they expected.  The American people was fed up with our government.  They wanted the swamp in Washington clean up.  They felt that Trump was the person to do it.

Since Trump been elected President, there had been many others Trump-like characters running for office in this country and abroad.  Some had failed but some had succeeded.

Pres. Trump kept us out of war so far by standing his guard against North Korea.  Since he stood his ground, the dictator felt that they better not mess with the United States because Trump meant business.  Even the terrorist didn’t dare mess with Trump.  Isis is slowing being eliminated because of Trump strong stance.

They tried to eliminate Obamacare but that kind of failed.  I thought it would; because messing with Obamacare is like cutting wire on a bomb.  If you cut the wrong wire, it could blow up prematurely.

Pres. Trump, along with the House and Senate did pass a new tax bill.  Who is lying here?  The Democrats and fake news media says one thing and the Republican says the opposite.  We’ll find out next year when it takes affect, how good it really is.

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp voted against it.  What was her reason?  As I said in earlier, I admired Heitkamp because she vote with her conscious.  Did she see something in the bill that we don’t know about or was she pressured by her fellow Democrats?

Washington was in a middle of a big clean-up due to the sexual harassment scandal.  I won’t go too much into that until next week blog on tension in America.  All I will say is, the swamp is slowly being cleaned up; but not as we expected.

We had people in Washington who had step down in both party.  We just need to get rid of Mitch McConnell.  He need to step down and retire.  When he goes, maybe we can also get rid of his buddy Sen. John Hoeven as well.

We also need to get rid of Paul Ryan.  And while we are at it wipe that smug look off his ugly face.

God may be getting rid of Sen. John McCain for us.  He got brain cancer.  I don’t wish anyone ill, especially him but he needs to go as well as McConnell.  I agree with Trump, he is no war hero.  He is a loser and a liar.

For 2018, Pres. Trump still have a lot of works he wants to do to make America great again.  He still wants to build a wall between United States and Mexico.  He also wants term limits for our congressman and senators.  We need that badly.  We need to cut government waste.

Pres. Trump been good to me this past year.  Since he was President, my investments been doing very well.  It wouldn’t done good under Hillary Clinton.  Since I started my blog, I had achieved over 1300 viewers. (thank you)

Trump been good to others as well.  He made Megan Kelly famous.  He gave the fake news media something to complain about.

He just need to keep his promise to have Hillary Clinton investigated and lock up in prison.

So far I’m very please with the job that Trump is doing as President.  I would vote for him again. I was scared of him at first but this country needs someone like him to make America great again.

So to all you Trump-hater and whiner out there (pardon my French here), in the words of Blake Shelton, “You can kiss my country ass!”

Once again Happy New Year to you all!!  May you continue reading my blogs in 2018.  As long as I have things to say, I will keep on writing them.

Stay tune for part 2 next week as I talked about all the tension in America; which led to Trump getting elected President.

So let’s make America great again!!!
