Trump Grounds Pelosi – Can You Hear Me Now?

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump’s decision Thursday to deny House Speaker Nancy Pelosi military aircraft for an overseas trip drew sharp reactions from both Democrats and Republicans.

In a letter to Pelosi, the president “postponed” the trip just minutes before the congressional delegation was set to depart. The “excursion” would be rescheduled following the end of the partial government shutdown, he said.

“In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate,” Trump wrote. “I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown.”

While Trump pulled the plug on using military aircraft for the journey, he gave the Democratic leader the option of flying commercially.

“Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative,” Trump wrote.

The president’s move to cancel Pelosi’s trip came after the House speaker’s request to delay his annual State of the Union address — though one White House official claimed the aircraft decision was not a “response” to Pelosi’s letter.

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a frequent supporter of the administration, admonished both Trump and Pelosi for their actions, tweeting: “One sophomoric response does not deserve another.”

“Speaker Pelosi’s threat to cancel the State of the Union is very irresponsible and blatantly political,” Graham continued. “President Trump denying Speaker Pelosi military travel to visit our troops in Afghanistan, our allies in Egypt and NATO is also inappropriate.”

Graham continued on Twitter, writing that he approved of Pelosi’s efforts to visit U.S. troops, but was “very disappointed she’s playing politics with the State of the Union.”

“I wish our political leadership could find the same desire to work for common goals as those who serve our nation in uniform and other capacities,” he tweeted.

There appeared to be some conflicting information as to where the delegation was traveling, however. In his letter, Trump wrote that the trip was to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan.

But Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Pelosi, tweeted that the group was going to Afghanistan, with “a required stop in Brussels for pilot rest.” But they were not scheduled to visit Egypt, he wrote.

“In Brussels, the delegation was scheduled to meet with top NATO commanders, U.S. military leaders and key allies–to affirm the United States’ ironclad commitment to the NATO alliance,” Hammill tweeted. “The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation & thanks to our men & women in uniform for their service & dedication, & to obtain critical national security & intelligence briefings from those on the front lines.”

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-MD., criticized Trump’s maneuver, saying it was “petty,” “small” and “vindictive.”

“It is unbecoming of the president of the United States. But it is unfortunately a daily occurrence,” he told reporters.

Republican Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar tweeted an offer to the Speaker, inviting her to join himself and fellow Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs “at the border this weekend” in their home state.

Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida also tweeted, calling out the “tit-for-tat move,” saying Pelosi was “the only one” involved in the trip who was “being singled out.”

Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic Fellow Travelers in the House of Representatives remind me of a young fellow I had working with me several years ago when I was a Director of Audio Visual Services in a Convention Center in an area full of Hotels and Casinos.

When this fellow was hired on by my company as my Assistant Director, he somehow got it in his head that he was my equal, not my subordinate.

Needless to say, after about a year of me doing most of the work, selling our services, planning events, and setting up and tearing down events, he was shown the door.

Since she regained the position of Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has viewed herself as President Trump’s equal, if not his superior.

Yesterday, she received her comeuppance.

This whole fight for dominance reminds me of the Classic movie “Caddyshack”, in which the late, great Rodney Dangerfield played a hard-working Blue Collar American who had made a fortune in the construction business. He joined a country club named Bushwood for the purpose of playing golf and conducting business with clients while on the links.

The snotty folks whose families had been members for years looked down their noses at him. In their eyes, he just didn’t belong. He laughed too much and didn’t behave as they did. They also believed that this “common” man wasn’t as smart as they were.

In the end, he triumphed over the snobs, helping a young caddy out along the way.

President Donald J. Trump has come into Washington, DC and upset the Elite’s Political Apple Cart, disrupting the Washingtonian Status Quo.

Professional Politicians, on both sides of the Political Aisle, have never understood the fact that this outsider whom average Americans elected as our 45th President, is a very intelligent man.

He is a self-made BILLIONAIRE, for gosh sakes.

Pelosi, Hoyer, Schiff, and their fellow Democrats in the House thought they would be able to outwit Trump, trick him, or outlast him in the fight for a wall on our Southern Border.

They thought wrong.

Pelosi’s petulant attempt to cancel the State of the Union Address by lying about security issues precipitated Trump’s actions of yesterday.

The Speaker and over 100 fellow Democrats were about to leave on a trip designed to undermine President Trump’s Foreign Policy.

Trump’s action yesterday was not only appropriate, it was brilliant.

By cancelling Pelosi’s use of that military transport plane, he not only reminded her who is the Commander-in-Chief, he embarrassed the Democrats in front of the American people and the entire world.

Pelosi’s already taken a vacation to Hawaii and other Democrats went to Puerto Rico to be bribed by Lobbyists (I’m sure).

It’s time for them to act like public servants and work with the president to secure our nation’s Southern Border.

Our National Security is at stake.

Until He Comes,

Obama: “Stop Just Hatin’ All The Time” (A KJ Op Ed…”Oh, Stewardess! I Speak Jive.”)

ObamahatingBranco812014It’s just your jive talkin’ you’re telling me lies, yeah
Jive talkin’ you wear a disguise
Jive talkin’ so misunderstood, yeah
Jive talkin’ you’re really no good – The Bee Gees, 1975

This past Thursday, at a Town Hall Meetin  filled to the brim with handpicked audience members, the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, in the face of his domestic and foreign policies failing and his presidential approval polls sinking more rapidly than the Titanic, decided to forgo the lofty rhetoric, which he usually delivers with the help of his trusty teleprompter, and revert back to the language of the streets. The language that he used during his job as a community organizer.

According to the Leader of the Free World, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America, and the Most Powerful Man in the World, the reason that he is a colossal failure in this job is because everybody is hatin’ on him.

Say what?

Fo’ real.

It reminds me of one of my favorite movie scenes of all time…

Randy: Can I get you something?

Second Jive Dude: ‘S’mofo butter layin’ me to da’ BONE! Jackin’ me up… tight me!

Randy: I’m sorry, I don’t understand.

First Jive Dude: Cutty say ‘e can’t HANG!

Jive Lady (Barbara Billingsley aka “Mrs. June Cleaver”): Oh, stewardess! I speak jive.

Randy: Oh, good.

Jive Lady: He said that he’s in great pain and he wants to know if you can help him.

Randy: All right. Would you tell him to just relax and I’ll be back as soon as I can with some medicine?

Jive Lady: [to the Second Jive Dude] Jus’ hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da rebound on da med side.

Second Jive Dude: What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no dummies. I dug her rap!

Jive Lady: Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don’ want no help, chump don’t GET da help!

First Jive Dude: Say ‘e can’t hang, say seven up!

Jive Lady: Jive-a@@ dude don’t got no brains anyhow! Sh****t.

Airplane, 1980

The President of the United States of America complained to his sycophants in attendance at the Town Hall Meeting that everybody was hatin’ on him.

Kinda reminds you of the old Coasters’ song, “Charlie Brown”, huh?

Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?

Poor little baby. Does it hurt and have a temperature?

Evidently, the present President of the United States of America has forgotten exactly how his predecessor, George W Bush, was treated by the opposition party and by the Main Stream Media, who have covered for Obama throughout his Presidency

Obama has been pampered and protected by the Main Stream Media for these past five and one-half years.  Not only that, he has had the Puppet Master, Billionaire George Soros, protecting him and running interference for him, as well as promoting his Adminustration’s propaganda on all of the Liberal Websites, such as mediamatters.org, which he funds.

Bush was vilified from the moment he took office, until he left. The only time that the Main Stream Media gave George W Bush any sort of break was on that horrible day of September 11th 2001, when 3,000 Americans were murdered by cowardly Muslim Terrorists. That cease-fire lasted around 24 hours.

During Bush’s presidency, there were pictures portraying him as a chimpanzee. Not only that, Comedy Central aired an animated series making fun of a sitting President, titled “Little Bush”.

What do you think the odds are of them running a series titled “Little Obama”?

Don’t hold your breath waiting for that one.

In fact, in my lifetime, since 1958, Obama is probably the least picked-on president we have ever had.

Even before he was elected President, after he gave the Keynote Speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, he was lauded and praised as the next big thing, a wunderkind who could do no wrong.

Then, after Obama won the nomination as the Democrats’ Presidential Candidate, the idol worship progressed from praises to idolatry. The Main Stream Media placed Obama on a pedestal as high as Mount Olympus, bestowing godlike properties upon him, a position which they hold him in to this day.

Hatin’? Are you kiddin’ me?

President Obama has hate confused with opposition.

While those who of us who oppose him,  professional politicians political pundits and average Americans like you and me, do not like his policies and are vocally upset with his leadership or lack thereof, 99.9% of us do not wish him any bodily harm.

If he was to pull a “180” and actually start to act like an American President,  much of the opposition, which he calls “hate”, would go away.

Of course, there’s about as much chance of that happening,  as there is of America – hating Russell Brand actually being funny one day.

Mr. President. you can’t expect average Americans to sit still and take it, when it is obvious that you want to “radically change” this nation into a Socialist Country, governed by a huge central government which controls every part of our daily lives, to the point where everyone is the same and American exceptionalism is neither encouraged nor rewarded.

If opposition to governmental tyranny is “hatin'”, then I’m a “Hater”… and so were our Founding Fathers.

Until He Comes,
