Isn't That Special?


                For a nation that alleges as one of its founding principles that its citizens are innocent until proven guilty the left sure wants to throw a rope over a tree limb with Trump’s name on it awfully bad, don’t they?

                I, for one, am glad a special investigator has been appointed “to get to the bottom” of Trump’s alleged collusion with the Russians. Let’s just get it over with and either shoot the guy at dawn or make the left shut the hell up. Like any finding other than something unspeakably horrible about the President will ever shut them up. And what would that be, anyway?

                I’m still waiting for one single, solitary wing nut on the left, either in the media or the hallowed halls of the 12%-approval-rated congress, or in my own damn neighborhood, to tell me what the result or outcome of that alleged collusion is supposed to look like.  I suppose the knee jerk answer is that they helped Trump steal the election (how is still a bit elusive) but I still get their narratives confused about whether it was Comey’s fault or the Russian’s fault. I used to just shake my head at them but my neck is getting tired.

                News flash: Most of the folks in the miles and miles and acres and acres of the mostly red counties on the mostly red election map already thought Hillary was at worst a murderous and corrupt thief and at best an unscrupulous, dishonest, two-faced loser before either Comey or the Russians would have had a chance to say “Boo” in those weeks (years for some of us) leading up to the election.

                I even know some democrats who voted for Trump, but I will pull a lamestream media trick and refer to them as “unnamed sources,” so that no one takes a baseball bat to them or their property…in the name of the First Amendment, of course.

                I think it is ironic that Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General who wrote the memo which was forwarded to Trump that said Comey “could not continue” as FBI Director, is the fellow who assigned a special investigator to the whole mess. And let’s not get sidetracked with Trump’s statement that he had already decided to fire Comey.

What if he had? What if he was just waiting for a third party confirmation to pull the trigger? What if his ego is merely too large to let it be someone else’s idea? What if he is enough of a leader to prefer the heat be on him rather than a member of his administration? What if it mattered?

The rage and hatred of the loving left that brought us to this point is going to provide a fascinating analytical study at some point in history. The naked bias that the left continues to deny would be breathtaking if I could stop laughing.

We need a special prosecutor to investigate whether Trump colluded with the Russians to some unspecified end?  The “investigations” into Trump’s relationship with the Russians as well as Finding Bigfoot would have gone on without all the hysterics on the left after Comey was fired anyway. It was already established. And now I’m glad it’s in the hands of someone other than Comey.

It seems that these days the definition of a scandal is simply to establish an accusation even if it’s completely unfounded. And the definition of an “impeachable scandal” is to make that accusation loudly and angrily and to use the word “impeach” in a sentence. Put it in the hands of a blindly furious liberal media and there ya’ go.

If the media were capable of doing its job; if the left were capable of anything but rage and hatred against all things conservative; if congressmen and senators on the right were capable of anything but trying to maintain the status quo and hold on to their jobs and ever-growing bank accounts (man, that’s a lot of ifs), maybe we could have some special investigations into a few other things.

For example, the intent behind Obama’s open-mic comment about nuclear disarmament of the U.S. after he didn’t have us pesky voters to worry about. Or the IRS targeting of conservative political action groups on his watch if not at his direction. Or the scam that was Solyndra. Or his choosing to ignore court decisions that reversed his immigration policies. Or the freaking pallet of cash he gave to his new pals the Iranians. Or the false narrative about the origin of the Benghazi attack. Or the allegations of his justice department busing in protestors for the Treyvon Martin incident and others.

Those would be a good start.

I’d really like to see investigations of even a few of Hillary’s transgressions. I still hear voices on the left saying there was no problem at all with Hillary deleting 30,000 emails, maintaining her own personal server in a storeroom in Denver, and making U.S. security vulnerable to any decent computer hack with her carelessness. Really? We’re worried about Russians hacking our election but not about Hillary forwarding classified information that ended up on Anthony Wiener’s computer?

Our friend James Comey said she was innocent because she had no malicious intent. I’m not at all convinced of that but since when is intent an ironclad defense, not to mention that doesn’t undo the damage?

That investigation would have been even more interesting because I don’t actually think Comey made that decision. I think it was forced on him by Loretta Lynch. I think she was ordered to do so by her boss, old what’s his name. And I no more think Lynch’s 90-minute meeting in a plane on a tarmac with Bill Clinton was innocent than I think the moon is made of green cheese.

I’ll take scandals for 200, Pat.

                Even more intriguing is HRC’s relationship with Uranium One and those dreaded Russians. The largest stockholder in Uranium One has primary business interests in Russia. He personally gave $100 million to the Clinton Foundation to support their good work. He raised another $31 million for the foundation in pledges at a fund raiser in Toronto. Eight other Russian investors, who just happen to have large holdings in Uranium One donated another $14 million to the Clinton Foundation. Shortly thereafter Uranium One was granted leases by then Secretary of State Hillary C to 20% of active Uranium mines in the U.S.

                Despite Hillary’s assertions to the contrary during the presidential debates, most accounts of her foundations charitable giving hover around the legal minimum 6% mark to maintain foundation status. Wonder what the rest of the money went for?

                Nothing to investigate there, right?

                C’mon you guys. I have a full-time job so I’m not even an investigative reporter and I found that much out. You can check it all if you’re even marginally proficient (a rating my children have bestowed upon me) at using The Google.

                But whatever.

                Even if Trump is guilty of the meanest, nastiest things a (deleted-redacted-deleted-redacted) liberal can think of, here is my message to the left (as if they care or would even listen to anything but their own noise):

                All that red on that map I mentioned earlier is filled with people who voted for concepts and ideas more than a man. We were sick and tired of the direction your side was taking the country and whether your histrionics gain you what you want or not with regard to Trump that won’t change.

                We won’t go away.

                We voted for border security, American jobs, tax cuts for corporations and the middle class, a better plan than Obamacare, an undefeatable military, no more murders of cops in the street by hateful racists supported and encouraged by a presidential administration, and above all, the desire to make America great again.

Do what you will to President Trump. In eight years on Obama’s watch democrats lost over 1,000 seats and offices in Federal and state government. We are here. We are Americans too. We matter too even though the left doesn’t like it. We will continue to be the pain in their side that sends them to bed crying at night.  We promise.

This past week Susan Rice found a media outlet that will still quote her and said, “It is horrible Trump wants to put America first.”

Someone is going to have to explain that one to us. (1400 words. Sorry.)
