Trump Derangement Syndrome

There is so much craziness going on in Dysfunctional DC, the D-Rat “Blame Trump” Caucus and Media, and the ever popular “The Sky is Falling” Chicken Little “Trump is Destroying the World” Snowflakes; it is an “Article: Target Rich Environment”, but “a ball of confusion”. So, I will try to address how they tie together: The insanity of D-Rat “Resist & Obstruct” or “Trump Derangement Syndrome”:

Nancy Pelosi’s “Shampeachment” of President Trump marches, stumbles, or slithers on: It was such a National Emergency that she had to have a vote on her “Non-crime with no real Evidence Accusations” before Christmas Vacation. But from the House vote Dec 18, until ‘Dead-line’ for this paper, 23 days, she has not delivered her House Vote to the Senate Clerks. Pelosi is trying to manipulate the Senate Trial as she did the “Impeachment Investigation”, it is a farce. She knows her “Articles” are made-up accusations, not crimes, no evidence, only “opinions” on policy differences, and mostly a ‘cover-up’ for real crimes by the Bidens and others in the Obama Admin.

While Pelosi is dithering with the “Impeachment Vote”, Iran was creating chaos in Iraq. The D-rats were cheering for “Trump’s Benghazi”, but Trump immediately sent troops to protect our Embassy. Then we got a great opportunity to get the #1 Terrorist in the Middle Eeast, Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, and Trump ordered the drone-strike. Queen Pelosi had a hissy-fit because Trump did not ask her permission. Everyone knows why, she and her Leaker-in-Chief Schiff would have dithered some more, tried to make more “Impeachment Fodder” out of it, and CNN would have been broadcasting ‘The Plan’ world-wide in 5 minutes. Trump acted to save our troops, Soleimani, 5 other Hezbollah and Shia militia leaders were killed, and 6 others wounded and captured.

The Lib/Prog Media went full attack on “Dictator Trump” while Pelosi is flirting with “Treason” trying to protect Iran and their terrorist surrogates, as well as “Sedition” for her domestic campaign of “Resist and Obstruct” of the President’s Duties. The Dems and Media accused Trump of starting WW III, while the Mullahs tried to woof their people and military up for Reprisals for killing their favorite terrorist. After the funeral, the Iranians launched a major ballistic missile attack on two bases where US troops were. 16 missiles were launched, 4 didn’t even find their way to the targets and the 12 that made it did no significant damage. No Americans were hurt. The real casualty was a Ukrainian airliner with 176 passengers and crew. The Iranians denied responsibility, but refused to turn over the ‘black boxes’ recovered. The debris-field indicated an explosion at altitude rather than a crash, damage and parts recovered indicate the airliner was hit by anti-aircraft-artillery fire and 2 anti-aircraft missiles. The Lib-Prog media switched back to “Trump is a coward for not retaliating”, while Pelosi pushed some non-binding resolution through the House stopping him from doing anything militarily without House approval. That same day, Iran was forced to admit responsibility for shooting down the airliner, but the Lib-Prog Media is still pushing “Trump made them do it”. Whose side are those people on?

Trump and our Generals knew the Iran attack was an embarrassment to Iran and a “face-saving act” for their own people. And Iran is now trying to de-escalate. In less than a week, the Leftist Media accused President Trump of being incompetent in protecting our Embassy, to a “murderer” for killing the Terrorist King-pin, to “causing WW III”, to being a “coward” for not retaliating for the ineffectual missile attack. Pelosi and her Dem-Socs are so wrapped up in trying to “get Trump” that they are forgetting about their duty to the American People and their Oath to the Constitution and our Republic to “protect and defend from all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Updates: Nancy Pelosi will release the Impeachment Articles to the Senate so the Trial can begin or an Acquittal Vote held. There will be motions to “Dismiss with Prejudice”, For lack of a crime, and lack of evidence to support the Accusations. I hope that McConnell resists the pressure to try and “cut it short”, and gives it a Full Trial. With all the witnesses Pelosi wants, and all the witnesses the Trump Defense Team need to prove a “Not Guilty” Verdict; and to prove all the Sedition Conspiracy and Criminal Cover-ups to force DoJ Trials for all the Criminal Co-conspirators.

The Iranian Govt admits they shot the Airliner down, they claim “fog of war”, try to blame Trump, but their excuses do not fit the facts. The Airliner was under radio & radar contact, probably with a transponder, there is no excuse for them shooting it down! There are massive Demonstrations by the Iranian People against the Islamic Regime. The regime threatens repression and violence, President Trump warns the Mullahs not to kill the demonstrators. President Trump may have started a ‘Make Iran Civilized Again’ movement!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the Democrats would get behind an effort to help the Iranian people change their government into something that helped them and developed their economy for peaceful trade? Instead of destabilizing all of the Middle East by religious war? There are already rumblings from Pelosi to prevent Trump from encouraging them to throw off the chains of the Islamofascists. Has it been the Obamunist fad of “Appeasement” for so long, that the D-Rats are incapable of anything else? Or are they so blinded by their Trump Derangement Syndrome that they don’t want anything to work well for America?

Dear Dolphin Talk,
Happy Birthday to Me – Nov. 29, 2019!
Just turned 91 years old today. Thanksgiving Day was yesterday, Nov. 28, 2019.
Alone and forgotten – almost!
Son came to my house and said, “Me and Grandson will fix you a Birthday Dinner.” O.K. I went and ate my birthday dinner there. Very nice.
I was born 91 years ago at Romerville, Texas. Doctor Oscar Ryan from Seaddrift came in his horse and buggy to deliver me. Don’t know what he got paid with because money was very scarce. “Yesterday” was a different world.
P.S. Am sending a picture of me when I was in Mrs. Wise’s 1st grade class in Seadrift. “Cute.” Sorry I ain’t cute any more.

Something to ponder… by John Kirkland

Something to ponder: as you stumble through life and begin making bad decisions as in, drugs and alcohol. And I’m not talking about the occasional drink. Im talking about using drugs and alcohol as a crutch to get through the things that life throws at you. Just remember, habits become addictions. It’s all fun and games at first. But then that monkey on your back turns into a full grown gorilla and he’s got your head in his mouth. I hear people say, addiction is a disease. I don’t believe that. Addiction is a life filled with wrong decisions and once a person gets there they can’t find the exit. The God that I worship, heals the sick, makes the blind see, gives the crippled the ability to walk. My God is bigger than addiction! If you don’t ask, you can’t receive. Now, with that being said, is it gonna be rainbows and unicorns when you ask? No! It will be ugly, you will work hard, you will suffer. But in the end you will be victorious!! This struggle will make you a stronger person than you ever thought you could be. Your so called friends will turn their backs and walk away. There will be very lonely times. This is when you take the time to get to know Jesus. He will put angels in your path to lift you up. If you’re struggling, cry out, He’s there. Just remember, there are consequences for the choices you’ve made. You are rebuilding a fortress that was never meant to be destroyed. It’s a hard rebuild but so worth it. Ok, my rant is over. There are those that really need help. Ask God for guidance and foresight to make that decision. He will give you the ability to see through the fake ones.
