The Obama administration has been marred by debt, scandals, foreign policy failures,and an overall fragmentation of this country. He has plunged the United States into an abyss of economic debt that will create generations of American servitude paying off his wayward spending endeavors. The Red, White and Blue’s epitaph will read like a litany of failures perpetrated on both the American people and the world by this president:

The BEST way to beat the left wing media is to support conservative writers
Trump Derangement Syndrome has been described many ways by the media. The most accurate way I can define it is: a syndrome by which the left-wing media (which is 90%) and progressives want to negate the fair and undisputed 2016 US Presidential Election results by acting both irrationally and unreasonably to anything President Trump says or does. In addition, it also compels one to believe as gospel anything said or reported that is negative about the president, regardless as to its truth. Psychiatrically, it can be considered a form of denial, delirium, or even paranoia when taken to its extreme.
As evidence for such syndrome, the media and progressives have given the American people a treasure trove of “fake news” stories, uncorroborated accusations, and irrational reporting to reveal their affliction with this condition.
I have compiled a growing list of media hysterics since President Trump has been duly and fairly elected by the American people. The list will continue to grow as the progressive and left-wing media outlets continue to let both their souls and brains rot by their affliction with the Trump Derangement Syndrome.
1. Collusion with the Russians. The media, along with crooked Hillary, alleges President Trump colluded with the Russians to cheat the American people out of a fair election and wrongfully take crooked Hillary’s place as the next president of the United States. This story has since and continues to be repeated proven false and without a bit of corroborating evidence. Despite the witch-hunt by Robert Mueller, not a shred of evidence has emerged linking President Trump with the Russians.
2. The Robert Mueller witch hunt. This farce is not an investigation. Because Mueller has been unable to substantiate any claim against President Trump, he has turned to eviscerating any person who has had contact with the President. This travesty is nothing short of a KGB show trial meant to discourage anyone from ever working with the president and curtail President Trump’s agenda.
3. Meeting with Putin at Helsinki summit. The media alleged the meeting had nefarious implications and were appalled that President Trump spoke with Putin in private without the scrutiny of cameras during this conference. Plus, the medias’ heads exploded when President Trump publicly agreed with Putin that that Russians did not sabotage the 2016 Presidential election, a fact which has since been corroborated.
4. Travel Ban. President Trump’s travel ban, which was upheld by the US Supreme Court, was deemed racist, xenophobic, and anti-Muslim by the media. However, the countries identified in the ban were undeniably considered major state sponsors of terror and the both the CIA and FBI deemed personal records from the people in these countries seeking to enter the US as either as absent, not able to be corroborated, or untrustworthy.
5. Dismantling the Affordable Care Act. Though the Affordable Care Act has been an economic disaster causing many to lose their health insurance or pay exorbitantly high premiums, the media continue to lose their minds that President Trump wants to dismantle a failing and costly program that is slowly eroding the entirety of the American healthcare system.
6. Enforce Immigration Laws. As President Reagan said, “A nation without borders is not a nation.” Plus, isn’t it the president’s job delineated by the Constitution to enforce the laws already on the books unless they are overturned or changed?
7. Child Separation and Mistreatment at the border. Remember, child separation from illegal immigrants caught entering the country is US law. Plus, it’s a law enforced by the Obama administration, and the retaining centers which hold the children were funded any many built over the Obama years. What the left-wing media did was highlight a long-held policy inherited by the president and blamed the entire system and any perceived improprieties on him. Many of the border pictures displayed on the news were taken even before President Trump took office. It’s blatant Fake News. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/may/29/donald-trump/trump-correctly-tweets-democrats-mistakenly-tweete/
8. Withdraw from the Paris Agreement. The Paris agreement would have been costly to the American people, deteriorated American manufacturing, and been ineffectual to the environment. Plus, America would have lost any energy competitiveness to such countries as China and India in the process.
9. Firing Comey. FBI director Comey was dislike and reviled by both the Republicans and Democrats. He proved ineffectual in office and incompetent in his job. Instead of congratulating him on this move, the media turned it into conspiracy meant to hide any Russian collusion.
10. Trump allegedly referring to some nations as “shithole” countries. This again is second-hand information and at best can be regarded as mere gossip or here say.
11. Keystone XL Pipeline. This pipeline strengthens US energy security by importing crude from Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast and beyond and was deemed as environmentally safe by the State Department’s Final Supplemental Impact Statement. Plus, remember the negative environmental impact from the Gulf Oil spill?
12. Withdrawing from TTP. Basically, this deal was NAFTA on steroids. Not only would this trade deal negatively affect the US economy and bolster other economies such as China’s in the process, but it would have also given power to unelected officials to oversee the process. All we need to do is turn to the EU and look at how poorly they are doing to see how this trade deal would have been a potential disaster.
13. North Korea. After decades of failed American-Korean foreign policy, President Trump successfully met with Kim Jong Un and diverted a potential nuclear war. Despite Kin Jong Un’s new commitment to denuclearization, returning 3 American hostages, curtailing war drills, and stopping long range missile tests, the media has touted it a failure. This is Nobel Peace Prize material and not something that should be ridiculed.
14. Stormy Daniels. I’m not sure if any of these or other sexual allegations are true. However, I’d like to point out the double standard given by the media to the rapist and sexual predator Bill Clinton as compared to President Trump. Plus, the American people elected a president, not a Pope.
15. Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff. This story burned like fire any fury as much of it was quickly discredited. Plus, Wolf himself discredited the book in his own author’s note by acknowledging that he wasn’t certain if the contents within the book were true.
16. U.S. Embassy move to Jerusalem. Can you say massive overreaction by the left-wing media?
17. Withdrawal from NAFTA. NAFTA was proven failure and disaster to the US economy, dismantling manufacturing jobs across the country. Despite President Trump renegotiating a significantly better deal known as the USMCA, the media failed to report the truth and continue to perpetuate lies about the deal.
18. Revoking the security clearance of John Brennan, Obama’s former CIA director. This former communist sympathizer should have never had clearance to begin with. Plus, the move to revoke his security clearance was more a symbolic gesture in retribution for Brennan leveraging his former position to make unfounded lies about the president.
19. Trade War with China. Remember, current trade deals with China have decimated US manufacturing, perpetuated the theft of US technology, and undercut American producers. This atrocity should have been stopped years ago before we rebuilt China’s entire infrastructure and military.
20. Judge Kavanaugh’s sexual assault allegations. The media perverted the me-too movement to destroy an innocent man’s life. Without a shred of evidence, the media latched onto the story and reported it as if it were gospel– utterly despicable!
21. President Trump illegally helping father to cheat taxes. It wasn’t enough to attack the president, his wife, and children, now the media wants to discredit President Trump’s deceased father. The NYT did an unfounded and much unsubstantiated hit-piece on the president, while the rest of the media reflexively touted it as fact without corroborating information
22. President Trump blamed for Violence in Charlottesville. Not only was President Trump unjustly blamed for the violence in Charlottesville at the “Unite the Right” rally, but he was also chastised by the media for not condemning it to their liking. This is a prime example of how the media attempts to turn any situation against our president, even if he has no involvement with it al all.
23. President Trump praises General Lee. NBC needed to instantly retract the story as it became obvious they fabricated the whole thing. President Trump’s praise was going to President Grant and was taken out of context.
24. President Trump caused the Jewish massacre. The media was quick to blame President Trump for the massacre. However, the depraved idiot who perpetrated the massacre hated the president and was an anti-Semite. Remember it was Eric Holder who said, “Whey they go low, we kick them,” not our president.
25. President Trump Inauguration Spending. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are looking into misspent donations for Trump’s inauguration. As all the scandals in the Obama 8 years and Clinton years go untouched, the witch hunt continues to topple the non-globalist President Donald Trump.
26. Cohen paying off President Trump’s mistresses. Known liar and charlatan Michael Cohen who is deemed untrustworthy by the prosecution and received 3 years prison time is now being hailed as a reliable source and is the key whiteness to the misappropriation of campaign funds. Ironically, it was the same prosecutors who called him a liar that are now touting him as trustworthy in the case.
27. Christmas 2018 Partial Government Shutdown. Despite being elected to build a southern wall and fulfilling both a campaign promise and the will of the American people, President Trump is being ridiculed for performing his job as elected. There was a clear mandate by the hard working men and women of this country to have the southern wall built. However, the globalist left wing media, democrats, and RINO republican bought off by their fat-cat donors oppose it. Shame on you all for selling out the security and financial well-being of our country for both political and financial gains!
28. President Trump worked as an agent of Russia and Putin. This falsehood being force fed to the American public is nothing more than public slander. Without any evidence from the FBI to corroborate the authenticity of this story, the mainstream media falsely publicized it as fact. Like the saying goes: If you say it enough, people will believe it is true. Unfortunately, this story is the embodiment of this saying.
29. President Trump paid his lawyer, Michael Cohen, with a bag of cash to fix polling data. Again, Michael Cohen is a known pathological liar. Any time he fabricates a story against the president it is deemed true by the mainstream media without a shred of evidence. What is more ironic is that all the search engines and some of the polling procedures are fixed by the left and provide left leaning results. The real story should be how Google, Facebook, and Twitter among others fixed the midterm elections with the help of the progressive left.
30. President Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the timing of discussions over a proposed Trump Tower project in Moscow. This Buzzfeed article that spread like wildfire throughout the mainstream media fizzled as Robert Mueller’s office denied its authenticity. When will people learn that Buzzfeed and Michael Cohen are both total pieces of garbage?
31. Jussie Smollett Hoax. The mainstream media instantly cried foul with the Jussie Smollett attack, belittling all President Trump Supporters and bigots, racists, homophobes, and xenophiles. However, the story was a hoax. Plus, the true story which they don’t report is all the genuinely true attacks against President Trump supporters. No wonder why America is yelling, “CNN SUCKS!”.
32. Michael Cohen’s Testimony to Congress Part II. Though Michael Cohen is a known liar, is going to jail for lying to Congress, and was disbarred from his profession for being a scumbag, the mainstream media taut his testimony in front of Congress as if it were gospel. Just like the Justice Cavanaugh trial, the entire proceedings were a hoax meant only to embarrass our president and derail his agenda. Plus, nothing of substance was gleaned from Cohen’s appearance, and his testimony held absolutely no substance.
33. The Full Mueller Report. Despite the special investigation (aka witch hunt) by Robert Mueller exonerating President Trump, progressives are going crazy to see the entire report so that they can propagate future false narratives to derail our president.

Many liberals are surprised that President Trump won the election. Most are still in disbelief, and actively don’t won’t to accept the election results. However, what is most surprising is how many, most especially the liberal media, don’t understand why anyone would want to vote for President Trump. This misunderstanding is the exact reason why middle, working class America will continue to vote Republican in upcoming elections.
Liberals ideas no longer resonate with middle America. Their dogmatic concept of social justice, the theory of global warming, open borders, high taxes, globalism, and intrusive government among others do not put food on the table or bring jobs to America. In fact, the liberal agenda stagnates the economy and hinders job growth.
I believe a picture is worth a thousand words. As a lesson to my liberal friends, I would like to show why Democrats will continue to lose seats across the country. If they can’t understand these numbers, they will never win again.

I write this blog to express my concerns over Hillary Clinton’s neurological fitness to become the next present of the United States. In this blog I will discuss from a neurological standpoint the stroke Clinton suffered in December 2012 along with some potential complications that she may have suffered.
Stroke effecting the brain can either be due to a blot clot or a ruptured vessel. In the brain, just as the rest of the body, there are 2 main vessels: arteries and veins. Clots can occur in either of them. Though clots in the cerebral arteries are a far more common event, clots in the venous system can also occur. Through multiple media outlets (http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/31/politics/hillary-clinton-hospitalized/, http://nypost.com/2014/06/23/hillarys-health-issues-are-much-worse-than-she-lets-on-book/, http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/31/politics/hillary-clinton-hospitalized/) it was confirmed that Clinton suffered a blood clot in the transverse sinus (a major draining vein that leads to the jugular). The picture below depicts what such an event (the arrows depict the absent vein and wear the blood clot resides):
As a result of the clot, Clinton was treated with a strong blood thinner known as warfarin (Coumadin) to help dissolve the blood clot and prevent others from forming. Multiple risks could precipitate such an event. However, the ones leading to Clinton’s blot clot appear to have been due to head trauma and some dehydration. Most people assume that a person who is dehydrated appears parched and looks as if they may have been stranded on a desert island. However, one could be dehydrated and show no overt signs of this condition. Through lack of water intake and drinking caffeinated fluids, one can easily become low on their fluid status.
When a blood clot forms in a major vein in the brain, it can lead to what is known as a venous infarct. And by all accounts, this blood clot in Clinton’s brain did cause a stroke and produce demonstrable neurological deficits as demonstrated in this blog: (Medical information obtained from the AHA/ASA 2011 Guidelines- Diagnosis and Management of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: http://stroke.ahajournals.org/content/early/2011/02/03/STR.0b013e31820a8364):
1.Double Vision. The following picture shoes how Clinton was wearing prisms in her glasses. Prisms are used when the eyes are not moving together and cause double vision as a result.
2.Neurocognitive Problems. Long term cognitive and memory deficits can occur as a result of a venous stroke. Plus, Clinton suffered a blood clot adjacent to her temporal lobe. The temporal lobe is the anatomical area of the brain which stores short term memories. If this this area was affected by her stroke, it is of no surprise that Clinton now suffers from memory issues. As evidenced by her aide and confidant Huma Abedin, Clinton suffers has long term cognitive deficits:
Here is another example of her confusion. Notice how quickly she loses her train of thought when not robotically reciting canned talking points:
3.Seizures. Both immediate and long term epilepsy can occur after a venous stroke. Though no media outlet confirms Clinton has seizures, a revealing video certainly raises questions as to if she suffers now from epilepsy:
Here is yet another example of what appears to be a seizure. Based upon my medical experience, I would call it a complex partial seizure. Notice the blank stare in the next segment followed by an absurd response. Plus, why would a supposed security guard rush to the podium and ask if she were OK just from a few hecklers. Something appears briefly neurologically wrong with her here:
4.Headaches. Chronic and severe headaches can also be a long term sequela of a venous infarct. Some have introduced the idea that she suffers from “blinding headaches”:
In addition, patients with venous infarcts could also suffer from, weakness, visual loss, loss of balance, or even extra fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus). What is most concerning is almost half are left with permanent psychiatric issues. Though I cannot confirm that Clinton suffers from these particular neurological issues, the American Stroke Association does state that people such as Clinton who were afflicted with a venous infarct may suffer from them. Notice how the secret service need to escort her up the stairs. It is uncertain as to if she lacks the balance or strength for such an endeavor:
With such an important election this November, it is incumbent upon each of us Americans to know as much about our candidates as possible. After considering the facts presented in this blog, one must question if Clinton in neurologically fit to be our next Command and Chief. You decide.

After almost 8 years of an Obama administration, what message has he sent to the American people about themselves and their role in the world. I’ve made a short list of how Obama and the liberal media want you to feel as an American:
1. Like a second class citizen
2. Ashamed of our heritage
3. Ashamed of the Founding Fathers
4. Like America does not matter any longer, and the notion of a nation state is an outdated relic
5. That we should put our needs second before the world’s
6. Our Judeo-Christian values a bigoted and should be thrown away
7. That we should all play the role of a victim
8. America has done much evil in the world
9. Our money and hard work means nothing
10. We owe the world something
11. Our NATO allies are evil colonialist and we should mow befriend countries like Iran
12. We are too weak to stand up to aggression by the Chinese, Russians or North Koreans
13. Our military is evil and should be downsized
14. Capitalism is evil
Donald Trumps’ foreign policy speech on 4/27/16 was a major turning point in the USA’s stance on both herself and the world. First of all, it was completely refreshing to hear Trump trumpet America First and embrace Western culture. For the first time in a while being an American and embracing Western immigrant/Judeo-Christian values felt really good. Between both Obama and the media berating us every day about our heritage, our beliefs, our religion, and our history, it was rejuvenating to hear Trump speak of America and her accomplishment with pride! Just because they hate America does not mean I must also!
Over the past 8 years, you were called a xenophobe, racist, bigot, or nativist for doing such a thing. We should feel good about being an American and all that we bring and have brought to the world. We should embrace not only our rich heritage but also look forward to our prosperous future. Obama has attempted to take that all away from us. No longer. There will be a new sheriff in town soon!
As people flew down to the annual American Enterprise Institute (AEI) meeting on a private island off the coast of Georgia, it reminded me of a who’s who list of the rich and powerful. The leaders of the Republican party included Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and Karl Rove among others bellied up with the richest of the rich including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Before continuing, I must ask is this entire meeting a slap in the face of every legal American in this country? Is this what our forefathers envisioned? The answer is a resounding no! If the Republican elite had any respect for the American voter and their populist choice, shouldn’t they be supporting Trump or possibly Cruz instead of hobnobbing with those with the largest pockets? It only proves who really has the ear of our elected Republicans in office. Clearly it is not the working man or woman of this great country.
Those at the AEI meeting unmistakably understand one simple fact—that Donald Trump or possibly is a viable threat to their borderless, cheap labor, big business, world economy agenda propagated by the minions of sheep they have financed to win seats in both the Legislative and Executive branches of our country. And who is the biggest, sellout sheep they are prodding along like a mindless puppet influenced by desires of power and money? It’s none other than our prior Tea Party Golden Boy Marco Rubio. Remember Rubio entered the Senate preaching the Tea Party doctrine which is as follows:
1. Illegal aliens are here illegally.
2. Pro-domestic employment is indispensable.
3. A strong military is essential.
4. Special interests must be eliminated.
5. Gun ownership is sacred.
6. Government must be downsized.
7. The national budget must be balanced.
8. Deficit spending must end.
9. Bailout and stimulus plans are illegal.
10. Reducing personal income taxes is a must.
11. Reducing business income taxes is mandatory.
12. Political offices must be available to average citizens.
13. Intrusive government must be stopped.
14. English as our core language is required.
15. Traditional family values are encouraged.
Despite The Tea Party fighting for Marco Rubio’s entrance into the Senate, Rubio has displayed where is his true allegiance lies—not to the Tea Party members or the working American citizen but instead to big business and the global elite. The disastrous Gang of Eight of bill, his no show vote for the 1.1 Trillion dollar Omibus bill which funded Obama’s agenda and big business interests, his support for illegal immigrant and unfettered immigration, and his denouncing public broadband while promoting the interests of AT&T all clearly show where his interests lie—BIG Business.
Unfortunate for the American citizen, Rubio continues to do the bidding of the financial elite. Just ask yourself, is there any reason he is still in the race? Real Clear Politics have his numbers almost 25 points below Trump in some Florida polls. Plus, the irony is, this is the only state left that he has any chance in winning. So why is he still running when there is absolutely no path for evident path for him to the White House and remaining in the race will only continue to make him look stupid?
The answer is that he is propped by the financial elite like a mindless puppet just waiting to do their bidding, no matter what the consequences. If Trump or Cruz do not achieve the magic 1237 delegates needed, the convention could become contested, whereby all the delegates become “free agents” able to vote for whomever they please. It is the same reason Kasich remains in the race. In a contested convention, outliers like Rubio, Kasich or even Romney could possibly be ushered in as the Republican nominee if the majority of delegated vote for them—despite popular support. If that happens, the only people who will win are the financial elite while leaving the vast majority of American voters disenfranchised, at the mercy of big business, and without any say in government.
As Donald Trump’s popularity continues to climb, one wonders why he appeals to so many Americans of diverse backgrounds. One argument from some ardent supports is that a success businessman like Trump is needed to run the country. Though it does seem superficially like a cogent argument, one speculates why the government should be in business in the first place. Can anyone name any successful business venture they manage? Amtrak, Social Security, Healthcare and the VA are but some of the most obvious programs that are woefully inadequate. Plus, if a private businessman could do better than the government, why are programs such as the ones previously mentioned not placed into the free market where businessmen can run them? (This argument was well articulated by Mike Church during his morning show on Sirius/XM). In addition, does being a successful businessman translate into being a successful president? I don’t know.
Another reason people support Trump is his ability to openly fight the PC police. Americans are tired of the same politically correct jargon spewed out from the political candidates and force fed to us by the media every day. Americans are discouraged by the stories of so many citizens that are politically and economically ruined if they find themselves at odds with the system. The draw in Trump is that he fights back. He says what he thinks, and openly attacks the bastion of PC dogma- the mainstream media. Many find it refreshing to hear someone actually speak his mind and fully flex their First Amendment Rights. They also find it refreshing to hear someone articulate issues that are seemingly ignored by the political class such as illegal immigration, crimes committed by illegal immigrants, a southern wall, the trade inequalities with China, and a balanced budget.
Donald Trump is also a political outsider. He is not part of what Senator Cruz calls the Washington Cartel. As we have seen after the last election, no matter how many Republicans we vote into office, or how many branches of government the Republicans control, no positive change is being undertaken. People feel as if their vote doesn’t count. No matter who goes into office, the same outcome will emerge: bigger government, more rules, more regulations and less economic growth. Thus, many Americans believe that the only way to fix Washington is to bring an outsider like Trump into this city.
Lastly and most importantly, I believe people are attracted to Trump because he is simply entertaining. No matter how you feel about the man, he can bring in ratings. Americans love entertainment, and thus many simply love Donald Trump as a result.
Will his appeal lead him into the White House? Time will tell.
