Let's Get Real about Trump

Ok, I have been offline from blogging for quite some time, but I feel it necessary to jump in and provide my viewpoint (take it as you will) on the subjects of the Mueller Report, Donald Trump, and Congress in general.

The Mueller Report dropped and Trump and his talking heads immediately began to push a message of TOTAL EXONERATION, which anyone who has read the report at this point would know is complete and utter rubbish.  They wanted to get out in front of the news coverage and try to own the narrative by talking about exoneration, and by diverting attention from the facts which are plain and in black and white.

Mueller stood by documented opinion that a sitting President cannot be indicted.  Having said that, he also set up the findings in his report to be a road map for Congress to perform their Congressional Oversight role and look into the ample number of obstruction of justice claims clearly noted within the report.

Trump and the DOJ Trying to Silence Mueller...

Mueller is set to sit in front of Congress on Wednesday this week and answer questions regarding the Mueller Investigation.  The DOJ, and organization that is supposed to look out for the best interests of America but has recently decided to become Trump's personal Law Firm, has sent correspondence to Mueller about what he can and cannot answer. For instance, you have the question of the 10 documented cases of obstruction in volume 2 of the report.  Mueller made it clear that he was bound by DOJ policy and could not indict a sitting president.  One very important question the Congressional Leadership will likely ask is, "If Donald Trump wasn't the sitting President, would you have indicted him based on the amount of evidence in the report?"  That question in every respect is fair.  You are asking the head of an investigation if they would have indicted someone had an arbitrary roadblock not been in place.  I say arbitrary roadblock because the policy is...

Truth Matters

If there is one thing I need to keep reminding myself in today's world of political discourse, it is that Truth Matters. At any point in time I can turn on (insert news agency here) News and what I see is vastly different depending upon the news agency I watch.  Why is that?  Every mainstream news organization is bias in some way based upon who runs or owns the news organization.  Don't get me wrong; there are great and impartial journalists and agencies out there, but we are talking in aggregate and not about individuals or one-off agencies. When an issue like immigration is at the forefront of political discourse you can tune into CNN, MSNBC, and FOX and likely get three completely different takes on immigration.  Each news organization tailors their message to speak to what they feel is their viewer base and potential viewer base. That in and of itself is understood by people who follow politics on a regular basis and dig through multiple news sources in ord...

Why does it have to be one way or the other?

I remember a time when I could sit and talk politics and religion with people and have good, productive debates.  The debates were not hateful or one sided, and only rational personal opinions and actual facts were used during the discussions.  They included each person stating their points and making their case, and then each side came to compromises that allowed for solutions that would be good for both parties in the debate.  How did we come to a time in our country's history where we are so vehemently divided on every issue that nothing beneficial to the majority of the American populous or the stability of the country itself can be accomplished?  I am going to state some facts in the next paragraphs.  They may be facts you don't agree with, but they are facts none-the-less.  Those of you on the Right who believe your party's platform has all of the answers to the issues and problems this country faces...you are wrong.  Those of ...
