Trump Accepts Nomination – Here’s the Plan

Tonight in Cleveland Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination.  He wasn’t my first choice, but I don’t care much for Gary Johnson and cannot stand Hillary Clinton.  That said, I watched the acceptance speech and thought it would be good to have a record of ‘The Plan’ he rolled out tonight and some tidbits along the way.

Also for any who were supposed to watch and didn’t for summer school, maybe you will find my notes helpful.  Or of course you can watch approximately 4 hours of speeches here on youtube:

Donald J Trump’s – Acceptance of Nomination Speech (my rough notes)

July 21, 2016

The Plan

• Put America first
• Americanism not globalism will be our credo
• American people will come first
• Safety at home
• Law and order
• Rebuild America – jobs and economy
• Big business major donors media not happy – losing control (cronyism at work)
• Things must change and now
• Horrible Trade deals forgotten people – no longer
• No patience for injustice
• Great police
• No tolerance for government injustice
• Corruption will not be tolerated in administration (example HC – careless / negligent / crimes)
• Nobody knows the system better than me – I can fix it starting with bad trade deals (reaching out to Bernie Sanders) to bring fairness and justice to all Americans
• Suspend immigration from suspect terrorist countries until vetting mechanisms in place
• We will build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration to stop the drugs and gangs from pouring in – enforcement from border control officers (ending catch and release programs)
• Overstaying visas will stop
• Americans will wake up in a country where the laws are enforced – considerate and compassionate to everyone but greatest compassion will be for our own!
• Oath of office
• Will make country rich again with the greatest business people in the world – bad trade agreements will be turned into great trade agreements
• Will bring back jobs to this country undoing NAFTA ramifications
• Reform of tax laws – largest tax reduction of any candidate this year / simplified for everyone!
• Regulations – ending excessive regulations fast by lifting restrictions on production of energy (steel workers and miners going back to work again)
• Millions of more jobs
• Rescue kids by sending them to a safe school of their choice
• Repeal and replace disastrous Obamacare – chose your own doctor again
• We will fix TSA at the airports which is a total disaster
• We will work with student debt and take the pressure off
• We will rebuild our depleted military (big cheer)
• Countries we are protecting will be asked to pay their fair share
• We will take care of our veterans like they have never been taken care of before. Those who served will be able to see the doctor of their choice with no waiting
• We will eliminate wasteful spending in first 100 days
• Appoint justices who will uphold laws and constitution
• Replacement of Scalia will be someone of similar philosophy
• Endorsed by NRA – supports second amendment
• Evangelicals – thanks (undeserved and appreciated) – very sincere – speaking your minds in your own pulpits / will work hard to repeal that language without threat of tax exempt status
• Start believing – America is back bigger and better and stronger than before

These things were mentioned in the midst of the list above:

Vice President – Mike Pence of Indiana
Christian – Conservative – Republican (in that order)

Kudos to all of his family – specially the ones who spoke at the convention

Task – to liberate USA from crime and terrorism in our communities — because an attack on law enforcement is an attack on all Americans.  We must restore law and order – will work with and appoint best and brightest to get the job properly done (side shot to Rudy Guliani)

My Congressman Jim Bridenstine — April Newsletter and Recent Votes — working to stop ObamaCare ASAP!

April 2013

From the desk of Congressman Jim Bridenstine:

Restoring fiscal responsibility to Washington is one of the most urgent matters facing our nation. We must start living within our means and on a budget.  That is why I voted in favor of the conservative budget offered by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin that would balance in ten years. Moving toward a point where federal spending does not exceed federal revenue will spur economic growth and real job creation. Such a plan is an immeasurable improvement over our current path of ever increasing debt and economic decline.

.

Washington, specifically the United States Senate, has not done its job of passing a budget for the last four years, so the federal government is forced to operate on a series of so-called “Continuing Resolutions” (CR) instead.  A CR keeps the government running but, just as the name implies, continues “spending as usual” rather than providing a path to fiscal responsibility. I saw the latest CR as the last, best opportunity to stop the wasteful and increasingly unpopular ObamaCare program in its tracks before it is actually imposed. No one in the House fought harder than me to stop ObamaCare.  I voted against the CR since it included full funding to implement ObamaCare, and moving forward I will work to defund, dismantle, and repeal ObamaCare at every opportunity.

Reblog — The 2012 Elections: A Death Knell for the Christian Right by Kevin Swanson

The 2012 Elections:
A Death Knell for the Christian Right

By Kevin Swanson

Well, the dust has cleared on the Obama agenda. After four years of Barack Obama’s presidency, we have socialist medicine through mandated insurance, more government-funded abortions, and about $4 trillion of extra debt. Knowing this, I’m apparently supposed to vote for the Other Guy. Never mind the fact that George W. Bush left office with a 1.5 trillion dollar budget deficit (inflation adjusted), and it was his appointee to the Supreme Court who gave the final push to Obama’s socialist medicine plan.

I am told to set all this aside in this election and to endorse the Other Guy for President — the latest elephant in the room. He must be better — but why? I am offered reasons for supporting the Other Guy, and here they are:

(1). The Other Guy is a Mormon, and everybody knows that Mormons are better than Muslims. Clearly, not all Muslims or Mormons are polygamists. Then again, it is possible that President Obama has cooled on his “Muslim faith.” Or maybe the Other Guy has lapsed with his “Mormon faith.” If Mormons or Muslims led the nation for a hundred years, where would we be? I wonder. Suffice it to say, I’m not convinced that Mormons are better than Muslims.

(2). Everybody knows that Republican presidents are more conservative fiscally than Democrat presidents. This may be true in the minds of Republicans who enjoy listening to Republican rhetoric. I know. I know. Most conservatives do not want to be confused with the data. But here it is.

Annualized Growth in Spending:

• Reagan — first term — 8.7%
• Reagan — second term — 4.9%
• Bush I — 5.4%
• Clinton — first term — 3.2%
• Clinton — second term — 3.9%
• Bush 2 — first term — 7.3%
• Bush 2 — second term — 8.1%
• Obama — 1.4%^[1]

sometimes a picture says it all….

Now let’s imagine if the graphic had gone on to 2012 and speculate if there is anything left or if it has actually gone negative now.  Why yes we know that it has since we are $16 Trillion in debt now…

So how much paper do you have?  How much do you have in real commodities?

Or are you in debt too?

Wake up America!
