President Trump, NATO and Vladimir Putin’s Russia As President Trump leaves NATO and heads to Vladimir Putin Russia I will make some observations. First, the European countries participating in NATO have not paid their required 2% for many years, and we have allowed it for many years. With an ever menacing Russia looming in the distance, why would any European nation not stand up there own defense and work to make NATO stronger? Answer, They do not see Russia as a threat, we do, they don’t. So who is right? I would say the Europeans have this one right, that Russia is not the threat we claim it is. Let me be clear, when I say we or us, I mean the USA, and when I say the USA, I mean the federal government and the news media they control. We have consistent stream of news reporting on the evil and diabolical Russia. Be afraid Americans, be scared Europe warn the “experts”, but lets be honest, when was the last time the “experts” were right? Or the media? About anything? The experts and media will not tell you, but it should not be forgotten that the Soviet Union bore the brunt of defeating the Nazis during WWII, losing 27 million people, and saw a third of their country destroyed in the process. So we, the USA, Europeans and Russians were allies not so long ago. Russia meddling in our “democracy” is a hoax, twitter and face book accounts by people of Russian decent, it is an embarrassment to watch. It is our own DOJ and FBI that meddled meddled more than any Russian actors. So lets stop this foolishness. President Trump should understand that any move toward better relations with Russia has been already pre-approved by the American people. His position on Russia was well known. Let us hope that a Trump, Putin meeting begins a move toward real reconciliation and away from the threat of nuclear war. NATO is a relic of the past, lets dissolve it and put the money to a better use, that we finally get the peace dividend hoped for. Let it be said that we are not scared little people, in fear of so many countries. Let it be said that we are friends. Times are tough, I understand, but if you can contribute, please do.

Trump, Trade & Teriffs The most important thing we can do now as citizens, is support President Trump in negotiating trade deals around the world; more specifically, communist red China. I will make three main points, then explain: 1. What do we trade if we do not make anything? Exporting factories is not free trade. 2. What can the Chines buy from us when they make four dollars an hour? 3. Manufacturing is military might. What is being sold as “Free Trade” is not really trade at all, outside of raw materials and if the United States has been reduced to trading soy beans, pork and dairy, we have a problem. We need to make things. As China has benefited greatly by the one-sided trade deal, so have our farmers as they ship food stocks to China. I believe our farmers are patriots and understand that markets will adjust. President Trump should stop usingtariffrevenue to subsidize farmers. With the exception of farmers, those of us out here in the real world feel little to no effect of the tariffs. What we now have is global labor arbitrage allowing jobs to move to nations where the cost of doing business and wages paid to employees is less expensive. We outsource the bulk of their manufacturing to Third World countries, where labor is dramatically cheaper. Jobs outsourced from developed countries to China alsoallows a threat that firms can move offshore helps to keep a lid on wages. Politicians, republican and democrat cannot rail against income inequality without addressing the issue of trade and the offshoring of good paying manufacturing jobs. The trade issue should also addressthe climate change problem as China is a major polluter. So demarcates should lobby China to reduce their carbon emissions, good luck, or seek to bring our factories home. As our factories come home, they will be built or rebuilt using the latest technologies that produce the least amounts of pollution possible. Nations with a lower cost of labor such as China, India and Mexico, paying employees much lower wages, what can they purchase from us, outside of foods? We simply do not produce things the rest of the world wants at a price it can afford. Companies that manufactured here were conceived and grown in the USA, likely to have been funded by our banks, using deposits from average citizens, grew using our labor and knowledge. Companies that once supported whole towns, participated in community efforts and celebration. Companies that paid a good wage, enough where a mother could stay home, raise children in a decent home, take a vacation every year. These companies have left the communities and people who made them for cheap labor with little if any regulation or environmental standards. If returning good paying manufacturing jobs and much cleaner factories is not a good enough reason to support President Trump trade negotiations, national security is. Manufacturing might is military might. War is won with the ability of one nation to produce more weapons of war than the other. If we were to get into another war like WWII a war that depended on America’s ability to produce massive amounts of military equipment, we could notwin because with all of our advanced technology, we are just not building andproducing things like we used to. I want President Trump to be hard on this issue, to have all products involved in military application to bemade in the USA; from the most sophisticated computer chips to the thread in a GI’s sock. With more than 700 billion being spent on our military budget, it is surprising that our ability to manufacture is overlooked. This works both ways, our products sent to China and used in military application has to stop for the purpose of national security. Being a Purple we offer solutions. President, Trump cannot tell China what to do, he can tell China what we will do. Tariffs are used to restrict imports by increasing the price of goods and services purchased from another country, making them less attractive to domestic consumers. President Trump became the first president to threaten and impose tariffs to try and reshape the flow of trade. His purpose for new and higher tariffs? Shrink the U.S. trade deficit, boost U.S. production and increase good paying manufacturing jobs. The purpose of a tariff is generally to protect domestic production and jobs, countries generally impose tariffs to protect certain industries that are perceived as essential. President Trump can also impose quotas or other non-tariff trade barriers to restrict foreign companies from competing in domestic markets to safeguard domestic industry. However, Tariffs will force a tradeoff between consumers and workers. In helping our manufacturing sector, creating more jobs and improving workers lives is a good trade. The U.S. imports from Chinaaccounted for 21% of overall U.S. imports in 2018 and we can afford to have this reduced with little inconvenience. We need to require all industry involved with our military to manufacture here, in the USA, with no exceptions. I see little harm in China making furniture and toys, But only in factories certified as clean, non-polluting, and onlywith a tariff. The talk of China’s commitment to honor U.S. intellectual property rights is nonsense in my opinion. Our companies went willingly to China, knowing they would have to partner and share property and information. We also propose that any US company receiving R & D funding from the federal government (our tax dollars) be required to manufacture here. Do notbe fooled as pundits. Analystssee every stock market dip as a fear of a “trade war”, the selloffs are more a result of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy then trade. We are not helpless; we have been week, Republicans, Democrats and Citizens. If we do nothing, nothing will change. China will continue to prosper, we will continue to decline if the citizenry allows it, as it has been.  So support our President, he has put us first, going up against powerful people, establishment politicians, entrenched bureaucrats and globalists. It is time We Come Home, it is time We put America First, it is time We return to a system that once served us well and can again.

The Vote Everything in the ballet count debacle was predictable and predicted. Some states, under the guise of Covid-19, mailed thousands of ballets out to people who did not request an absentee ballet. This created a one-time set of circumstances, and it was by design, and it is systematic. This prompted return date deadline issues, verification problems, transparency problems, poll watcher lockouts and late votes being counted. If this fraud is allowed to continue, dozens of states and millions of citizens will be disenfranchised. What we have is a handful of demarcate-run cities manipulating the count to swing this election to the demarcate party. Is it odd that Republican states were able to produce results without incident on the night of the election? Texas, the second-largest state, had almost all votes tallied by midnight. Florida, our third-largest state, had no trouble counting all its votes in a few hours. So how does a man, Joe Biden, who could not draw a crowd, did very little campaigning and when he did, people seemed disinterested in his silly drive-in rallies, get the most votes in history? More than Obama, more than Clinton? There is no way Biden received 73 million “legal” votes, there was absolutely no enthusiasm for this guy. It defies logic. It may be circumstantial but it is worth consideration. I would argue that Biden sat at home because he knew the fix was in. What can we do? First, fire Wray at the FBI and appoint a competent director to investigate, a fraud of this magnitude surely has a trail and fingerprints. This is a crime of the highest degree. Second, get the DOJ involved, if Barr has no idea, get someone who does. For the life of me I cannot understand Trumps appointment of Wray and Barr? Why not just appoint Nadler and Shift? Third, every mail in ballet in each county that is the slightest bit questionable must be verified or rejected. This should limit the audit (audit, not recount) to the cities, blue counties in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina. Michigan and North Carolina are critical in securing the Senet seat. This audit of the mail in ballots will provide the evidence of the wide spread fraud needed to make a case in court. Do not wait, get access now, get a court order if necessary, and a highly reputable auditing form to confirm the legitimacy of each and every vote. Should a court order be required for access to the ballets, seek each county in each state in one action as time is of the essence. With the rights of all voters at stake, the Supreme Court should issue the order, superseding a state constitution under equal protection and/or supremacy. In sweeping out the illegitimate ballots, all down ballot candidates will benefit, securing the Senate and probably regaining the house. Republicans better wake up, get off the bench and take the field. It may require federal marshals in attendance to insure an orderly and secure process. Fourth, use the FCC or any regulatory body to stop the censorship by the internet platforms. Communication and information is so important and should not be blocked. The Tec platforms, by suppressing information are tipping the scales in favor of their preferred candidate in what seems a coordinated effort. I would urge states with Republican governors that voted for Trump to join in litigation to determine the legitimacy and accuracy of the states in question so their citizens will not be disenfranchised. Counties that did not follow the law or court orders in separating ballots received after deadlines, mixing the timely with the untimely, and they cannot be separated out or any other irregularity must bear the consequences locally, in said county. Their mistakes intended or otherwise should not be allowed to negate the votes of people, counties and states that acted properly. This counties vote count will be recorded at their count of November 3 rd . It is clear the Democrat party fights dirty and anyone caught committing or complicit in fraud need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Send a message. All we want is an accurate tally of legally cast ballots. A presidential election is just too important.  Regards
