DISPATCHES....And Random Thoughts

President Trump is on a tweeting rampage this morning on border issues. Folks, Donald Trump could not care less about the border.....and a lot of others things that he fooled us on.....and has proved this for two years now. What we are witnessing in these tweets is analogous to a real estate developer who found out that he was missing a few important permits and is applying pressure to get them. Nothing the President says,....on anything....can ever be believed without verification....for he proven this to be the case for three years now....and this is not Robert Mueller's fault.

I was doing a little Internet research on 'positive thinking' and came upon this from 2008....where Rush Limbaugh was commenting on his show about a Barack Obama campaign rally in Houston. It was a long commentary but within it was this...."Now I saw there were 20,000 people there, and they were mesmerized. I mean it's a cult. That's what I'm telling you....revival, whatever you want to call it. It's a cult, it's a personality cult. These people who are showing up for these things are investing all this hope in Obama, not in themselves. Hope, like I keep telling you, hope is an excuse for doing nothing." Rush is speaking here of a political hope....and would not include in this the hope that the Bible speaks of....but he did err greatly in telling us to put our hope in ourselves....and we ourselves erred in putting our hope in a man. There are many biblical verses concerning hope....I'll just pass on this one....Romans 12:12...."Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."

President Trump needs to announce that he will not seek a second term. We need a president concentrating on the important issues that we face right now....and not on a reelection campaign....or an impeachment trial that would probably be three months away....but as I posted earlier...."It will never happen short of a Nixonian dilemma." The Trump Party might keep this in mind....a second term nomination is not...by any means....a done deal.

Ivanka used the phrase...."our administration".....a few days ago in a Tweet....and now they are floating the possibility of Her husband becoming the Chief of Staff! Reiterating here from a past post....the doors should have been locked from the inside....and the President confronted.....when these two were first brought into the Oval Office....and those doors not unlocked until they were sent back to New York. It's amazing how they over two years have fallen under the spell of Donald Trump.

A government shutdown for $5 billion would not nearly be enough and who knows when we would actually see any of it anyway? And there probably wouldn't be any more coming in the future. They are trying to put one over on us with this....."give them $5 billion so they shut up." Inform the Department of Defense and all the associated generals and admirals right now that $25 billion is going to be used on a wall so that they can find out where they want the money to be taken from.

China and Russia know that Donald Trump thrives on news items where he can claim victory of some sort. China specifically takes advantage of this often. They will purposely give a little here or there....knowing that President Trump will run with it and claim a great victory....which he will....all the time they are putting their pieces into place on the chessboard where they are hoping to someday say...."Check"....which would be a 'Check' heard round the world.

President Trump said that the people would revolt if he was impeached. They wouldn't.....but they possibly would....if convicted on no legitimate impeachable evidence....and they might also revolt if President Trump pardons either Michael Cohen or Paul Manafort.

President Trump should expect impeachment proceedings.....followed by a trial of a month or more.....with Mitch McConnell as the judge.....(actually Chief Justice John Roberts but the Senate determines the procedures beforehand so McConnell would determine in what direction a trial would go)....House Democrats as prosecuting attorneys....and 100 Senators as the jury. Have the Democrats even given one thought to a President Pence?

Fox News has a lead headline right now on the outrage over the $25 million that the Mueller probe has cost so far.....yet it's estimated that it cost taxpayers at least $3 million every time President Trump spent a weekend at Mar-a-Lago...and he made the trip about every other weekend in the first few months of his presidency......and who knows how many times since then. President Trump severely chastised the golfing of President Obama while important issues were on his desk....yet he has blown President Obama's golf numbers out of the water hazard.....and talk radio says nothing about it.
