My dear readers, in my last post I promised a series to look at the interviews to put together Donald Trump's stance on different issues and see how different interviewers were treating him. I must apologize for missing the deadlines. I have been laid low for over a week now with pneumonia and have not been able to write anything. Thank you for you messages of concern and I assure you that this writer is back in the saddle and getting back on track. Now down to business.
This last week or so has been busy. This election is running at full steam and things are happening faster than most people can keep up with them. I can't remember a race that was this exciting this quickly. I digress.
Finishing up the old business, we have the News Chief over at FOX demanding that Trump apologize to Megyn Kelly. This just shows that the establishment isn't rolling over and letting the game play out.
Donald Trump has been making his trademark "double barrel blast, in-your-face" speeches. In a recent speech in which he makes a case for amending the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution which reads:
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.[1]
The debate has really begun with many different sides weighing the consequences for their views. We have lived in such a lawless state for so long that trying to enforce, or even try to define anything in order to enforce it. People have been doing so many "because it feels good" actions as authority figures that we are now facing an election that is rapidly becoming the difference between freedom and chaos, capitalism and socialism, establishment and rebels. The massive influx of immigrants has completely tilted the scales and with the Supreme Court striking down State laws requiring people to prove that they are US citizens in order to register to vote; well, this may be an election that law and order champions cannot win.
Donald Trump also had a run in with Jorge Ramos from Univision. During a press conference Jorge Ramos was trying to talk out of turn and confront Trump about his "anchor baby" comments. As usual Donald Trump has not backed down and is standing by what he says... for good or bad.
What does this week bring for us? Well. Joe Biden is throwing his hat into the ring and Hillary Clinton continues to sail her ship into deeper waters; all the while it is filling with water.
Speaking of Hillary, a question has been brought up. Despite the fact that we now know that her emails were full of classified information, she claimed that her server never had any classified information on it. Well, since she was using her private email server to do official communications; Hillary handed it over to the FBI since it was wiped, then how did she get the classified information? Does the State Dept. have an army of people with briefcases with handcuffs on them driving around the country giving and receiving classified information to people?
