I cannot believe how long it has been since really attending to this site. It looks like I posted one post all of 2020 so far. I need to get active again. The United States of America is at a tipping point. We will save the Republic or lose it depending upon the final outcome for the Presidency……. Trump or Biden. It is that serious.

The top national headline in the Tuesday, December 17th, issue of the Kokomo Tribune said, “Dems: Trump betrayed nation” when the only betrayal of our nation has been that of the Democrats.

It has been angering and disgusting to watch what the leaders of the Democrat party in the House of Representatives have done. They have repeatedly lied to the people of our nation. They have been trying to come up with some grounds…. any grounds…. to seek impeachment of President Trump since before he was sworn into office in January 2017. Russian collusion did not work. That attempt went on for years. Nothing else worked until they seized on Ukraine.

Now the alleged grounds are withholding military aid from Ukraine in turn for an investigation into the Bidens, both Joe and Hunter. It is damned clear the Bidens are as guilty as sin of corruption. The President has every right to ask the new President of Ukraine to take a look at what happened around the 2016 USA election as it involved people in the Ukraine. And he has every right….. and even duty….. to ask for investigation of the Bidens when good ole Joe was Vice President and Hunter was on the take. And even if President Trump wanted to withhold military aid to get an investigation — which he did not — that would have been in the best interest of the United States. I remind you, too, that President Obama did NOT provide any meaningful military aid to Ukraine as it defended itself against the Russians. President Trump did.

Both President Trump and President Zelensky, the new President of Ukraine, have repeatedly said there was no pressure for any investigation of anything. Too, we learned later that Zelensky knew nothing about any military aid which was forthcoming, let alone if it was being withheld which, I repeat, it was not. The tank busting Javelin missiles came.

So, the impeachment of President Trump for anything is a total basket of bird droppings. The Democrats have dug a hole for themselves. The Trump train gets longer and stronger with every passing day. All one has to do is look at the crowds that show up at Trump rallies. These are folks from all around the country. They are the deplorable, smelly Walmart shoppers. They no longer will be quiet or fooled by the Democrat establishment corrupt politicians. They cannot wait for the election in November 2020. Again, they will come from the hills, valleys, farms, small towns and large to elect President Donald Trump for four more years.

President Donald Trump deserves exoneration, not just acquittal in the US Senate. He is innocent of any wrong doing let alone any that rise to the level of treason, bribery, or high crimes and misdemeanors. The do-nothing Democrats are on the road to destroying their own political party. If so, good riddance. The worst are Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. Their sun is rapidly setting.

In just a few short weeks, voters will have the opportunity to elect to Kokomo’s Common Council one of Kokomo’s finest. His name is Lynn Rudolph from the 2nd District.

I have known “Rudy” for decades. His background and reputation precede him. Rudy served many years on Kokomo’s police force. He led a special task force dealing with crime and drug enforcement. This task force, which benefited not only Kokomo and Howard County but surrounding counties as well, was recognized in law enforcement as one of the best. Rudy led by example. He always made it a goal to see that he and his fellow officers had the best training and education available. In short, they were very effective.

One year, Lynn Rudolph was recognized nationally as one of the top ten “Policemen of the Year”. He well deserved this honor and recognition.

I know all of this because I was an executive at the Kokomo Tribune at the time. I served on the Mayor’s Drug Abuse Task Force along with others of the community. We held Lynn Rudolph and his task force in highest regard.

Now we are at a time when we are hearing about drugs and crime in the news about every day. Kokomo is not exempt. We need leaders with experience and an outstanding track record. None could be better that Rudy’s. He would bring common sense, effectiveness, and results to a variety of issues as a part of the Kokomo Common Council. Rudy’s life is one of service to the community. We could do no better than have him as a member of our Common Council. We need to elect Lynn Rudolph.

Several months ago, the 116th Congress was sworn in, and all day long, the media was fawning over the “remarkable diversity” of the new Democrat members. It was a day of “firsts,” we were told repeatedly. While the new Democrat majority offers members of note, we want to highlight a few “firsts” who are examples of the “diversity” that was sworn in then.

Here are our Top Most “Diverse” house Freshmen:

1. Ilhan Omar — The first person who married her brother to commit immigration fraud ever to be elected to Congress. Omar is also the first open supporter of female genital mutilation to ever be elected to Congress. Such amazing diversity! And this does not mention her problems with fraudulent tax filings.

2. Rashida Tlaib — One of the first Muslim Brotherhood-linked and anti-Semitic candidates to be elected to Congress. She also claims to be a Palestinian — not American. Wonders never cease. Also, she has a potty mouth using the term “Mother F—er” for the President.

3. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — Where do we even begin? Let’s just say she is the first person elected to Congress who lied about being from the Bronx, and thus, made up her life story. She’s also an overt Marxist, in case you forgot.

4. Abigail Spanberger — The first substitute teacher from an Islamist school (nicknamed “Terror High”) ever to be elected to Congress.

5. Donna Shalala — Rep. Shalala was HHS Secretary from 1993 to 2001 under Bill Clinton and worked from 2015 to 2017 at the Clinton Foundation, and in 2016 she admitted in an interview that some significant Clinton Foundation donors received “courtesy appointments” in the Clinton State Department. To top it off, apparently she can’t let go of politics. At 78, she’s the oldest female House Freshman in history.

6. Krysten Sinema — The first bi-sexual atheist to be sworn into Congress. She refused to take the oath of office on the Holy Bible.

These are just a few examples of the “firsts” that the media has been celebrating. Those who apparently show an open disdain and animosity for America as we’ve know it for over 200 years. And they all represent the Democrat Party. Kind of makes you proud to be an American, doesn’t it? All of this “diversity”!
