Op-ed: 
A Truly Hard Decision But My Clothespin Is Ready

Donald Trump has chosen a Vice Presidential running mate and it’s Indiana Governor Mike Pence…a choice that will not draw many #nevertrump folks to his camp simply because the man who claims one of his greatest assets is that he’s not a career politician has now chosen a career politician as his running mate. 

 

And this proves once again just what a self-serving hypocrite Donald Trump really is and yet, sadly, I will now have to put a literal clothespin on my nose and vote for him because the alternative…the now and forever to be know as the 'Butcher of Benghazi'…is far worse.

 

And a career politician puts it mildly as Mike Pence…yet another lawyer…entered the political arena in 1988 at age 29…he’s 57 now…when he first ran against and lost to Democratic Congressman Philip Sharp. Losing again to Sharp in a second go round, Pence finally won in 2000, and served six terms in the House. Becoming governor in 2012 after incumbent Republican Governor Mitch Daniels was term-limited out, Pence has been in politics non-stop for almost 30 years…the consummate career politician…albeit one many in Congress like and speak highly of.

 

A career politician and quite the hypocrite himself as Mike Pence was a Ted Cruz supporter during primary season and is a man who continues to disagree with Trump on certain key issues. And while those disagreements might just be his saving grace as far as some conservatives are concerned, it does take a hypocrite to surrender one's core beliefs for a political position. And so Mike Pence has now hitched himself to a man who when he loses…and I still do believe that Trump was put into the race to assure a Hillary win…will see his own political career come crashing to a screeching halt. 

 

But no matter for I will now have to put that clothespin on my nose and vote Trump/Pence as the alternative…Ms. ‘What Difference Does It Make’ and her most probable oh so vile running mate Julian Castro…is far and away worse. 

 

Hmmm…I wonder if I still have the clothespin hanging around that I used when voting for the McCain/Palin ticket back in 2008.

 

So why did Trump pick Mike Pence, the very man who, like I said, has not and still does not see eye to eye with him on certain key issues. Why pick a man who takes a more hard line position on religious freedom and abortion than he does. Why...I believe it’s because Trump somehow thinks that Pence can deliver the Mid-West to him…something I seriously doubt will happen as Pence was likely going to lose his re-election bid for governor. And lest we forget that Donald Trump and Mike Pence are also to some degree compadres in hypocrisy…something Trump and his blind followers see as serving their ticket well. 

 

And as a side note here's a little bit of advice about serving their ticket well...the Trump/Pence TP logo serious doesn't cut it and for obvious 'potty humor' reasons...and this election is anything but humorous...just saying.

 

And now for the differences between the two men with number one being that last December 8th, the very day that Trump spoke of banning all muslims from entering this country, Pence said in a tweet and I quote, “Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.” And while I totally disagree with Pence’s words, as I believe all muslims must be banned from entering our country, the hypocrisy in Pence’s words… ”offensive and unconstitutional” were that they were meant for every other state but not his home state because he directed Indiana state agencies to suspend a resettlement policy that would have allowed Syrian refugees to settle in his state…which a federal judge ruled "clearly discriminates" against refugees from a particular country.

 

So I guess in Mike Pence’s mind, what’s good for the goose…the other 49 states…is not good for the gander…as in Indiana…and yet I have the clothespin ready for resettlement hypocrisy aside, Mike Pence does seem to understand the dangers islam and its followers pose to America. 

 

And that is the one thing…probably the only thing…I have always agreed with Trump on…as in muslims are not conducive to the fabric of our American society and that all muslim immigration to America must stop. Yet now Trump’s hypocrisy shows in the fact that he has ‘walked back’ on his original statement that all muslim refugees must be banned from entering the U.S. to just "temporarily banning" muslims from ‘certain’ countries alone. And this most assuredly means not banning those muslim refugees from the Arab countries he has high stakes business deals with.

 

Maybe I’ll need a whole row of clothespins to pull that lever but pull it I still will.

 

And speaking of business, while we all know that Trump is most vehemently opposed to the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) calling it "disastrous…terrible…and a continuing rape of our country by special interests”…his continuing to spew words such as this could very well start a nasty trade war. Mike Pence, on the other hand, did support and still continues to support TPP as do I and many others. Another saving grace for Mike Pence, as far as I’m concerned, is that he voted for "swift adoption" of TPP saying back in September 2014 that, "Trade means jobs, but trade also means security.” And you know what…he’s right…as those you have ‘friendly’ trade with will usually…but not always…be hesitant to jeopardize said trade over issues that can hurt their country's pocketbook.

 

So, has Mike Pence become to Donald Trump what Sarah Palin was to John McCain…meaning some will only vote for Trump because of Mike Pence as some only voted for McCain because of Sarah Palin…could be. But look at how that scenario has unfolded as McCain, after losing to Obama, became the personification of the word ‘RINO’ and once relevant Sarah Palin seems to have gone off the deep end as witnessed by some of her recent appearances. And I was a big fan of Sarah Palin but no more, because in her ‘sucking up’ to Donald Trump she has fallen so far from her once true conservative political base.

 

And still I keep telling myself…actually I still keep trying to convince myself…that Mike Pence aside...no matter that his more conservative positions on certain key issues do have a certain appeal to the more hard line Republicans and far right conservatives among us…there remains no tangible option but to vote for a man whose life-long Democratic policies and positions I so despise. 

 

But back to the differences between the two most unlikely of running mates…differences that even include the social issues. For starters, Mike Pence wants to make abortion illegal even in cases of rape and incest…something I again disagree with him on…and he even co-sponsored a controversial proposal back in 2011 to redefine rape cases connected to abortion laws as what he called "forcible rape." His thinking in that is clearly something to be questioned as Trump supports…and so do I…abortion in cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is in jeopardy if a pregnancy continues.

 

Oh dear, I guess that means I agree (gag) with Trump on two not one of his stances...and possibly even on three for while Mike Pence wants a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, Donald Trump has said not a word to that affect. And while he says…at least he’s saying it now for political expediency as he plays to the masses…that marriage is solely between one man and one women…he has not come out and condemned same-sex marriage…something I also will never do…as he seems to recognize the fact that this is an issue that belongs to the states alone.

 

And the last major difference between the two men is their approach to foreign policy regarding the war in Iraq. Mike Pence voted to authorize the war in Iraq while Donald Trump claims he opposed the war right from the start...something that remains in question to this day. But at this point in time that is an issue of semantics that really does not matter anymore as the war we now face comes in the guise of ISIS not in the guise of the now long dead Saddam Hussein.

 

And it’s ISIS and all the recent acts of islamic terrorism carried out both here on American soil and in countries abroad…all carried out in the name of allah…allah the most unholy…that has been the deciding factor in my hard fought decision of whether to stay true to my long-held gut feeling and belief that Donald Trump is not the man now nor has he ever been the man to beat Hillary Clinton. And the addition of Mike Pence to the ticket does not alter that fact for Mike Pence will most likely not unite the ticket but might split it even more as the last thing needed to show unity...to show and reflect the changing face of the Republican voter...was the addition of yet another wealthy white middle-aged man to the ticket.

 

And as a proud member of #nevertrump…a movement I one hundred percent still support…this decision is tearing me up inside, but when I look at the pictures of the recent carnage in Nice, France and when tears came to my eyes when I posted a memorial picture honoring our two American dead…Sean Copeland and his 11-year old son Brody…I realized that a Hillary Clinton presidency will allow these acts of savagery to continue. And so I have to gamble that a Trump presidency will not for one thing I do believe is that Donald Trump is not a traitor while I know in my heart that a traitor is indeed what Hillary Clinton is.

 

So while I will not endorse the Trump/Pence ticket nor will I actively work to promote it, I will not work against it...but if asked I will say I am voting for it. Nor will I speak out against those folks in #nevertrump nor against Kendal Unruh and the #freethedelegates and the #delegatesunbound movement for my true beliefs and my conscience remains with them and what they stand for, and tried so very hard to do.

And regarding the delegates themselves...something most have forgotten is that we are not a democracy...we are a republic with a representative form of government which translates into delegates and those we elected to make decisions for us. But due to the above stated recent events in Nice, France coupled with the fact that even if the delegates are unbound the numbers still aren't there to stop Trump, common sense now tells me that common sense itself has lost out to the emotions of the (sometimes rightfully) angry masses, and that as World War III now appears to be on America’s doorstep we must unite together to deal with that first and let 2020 sort the whole assorted mess out.

 

So I’ve got my clothespin ready...as do millions of others including my candidate of choice Marco Rubio...to do what I nor they never wanted or expected to do but know we must do... unite behind Donald Trump...for no third party candidate is a tangible option nor has even a remote chance of winning against the Clinton machine and its promises of 'free stuff.' 

 

And now, just like my Right Side Patriots Partner and friend Craig Andresen also knows, our consciences must sadly be relegated to the back burner for we know and accept as fact that the Hillary Clinton alternative truly is a hell of a lot worse...not that either one of us were ever going to vote for her...worse for both our beloved America and for the world as well.

The Hypocrisy of Donald J. Trump
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on http://americanpbn.com/ 

As Obama tries to distract us with all the brouhaha over who goes to the bathroom where...and just know that without the media aiding him in this should be obvious issue this what have long ago died a rightful death... some of us have become complacent... accepting really...of a candidate who has not even garnered the needed 1237 delegates to claim the 'official' title of the Republican nominee for president.

And you all know I am speaking of Donald J. Trump...shoved down our throats by the media... especially by FOX News and Trump's chief flag waiver Sean Hannity...as they try to anoint him as the second coming of the savior of us all. And if you think Obama was and is anything but our savior, the truth is that neither is Trump for his 'horns' are visible in all his hypocrisy for all who truly look at him with eyes wide open.

Case in point...we all know today's world is a most dangerous place what with the muslim invasion of Europe; ISIS committing genocide against Christians as we in this country just give this atrocity mere lip-service; as Iran continues to chant 'Death to America' and moves forward with its plans to wipe Israel off the map; as North Korea has as its leader a man-child who truly is quite mad; as China tries to militarily take over the China Sea; and as acts of terrorism are now so common place as to garner little if any media attention. This list barely touches the surface but those of us with eyes wide open do see...at least on the surface...the dangers facing both the Western world and Western civilization in general on a religious, secular, and tangible basis.

But, and this is so sad, what many do not see is that it's not only the Democrats turning a blind eye to the above stated reality, but that some 'supposedly' on our side are doing so as well. Enter center stage Donald J. Trump...a man whose ego rivals that of Obama's but maybe even more so as Trump has the dollars to buy allegiances and sell loyalties even on an international scale.

Take Israel for example...the Jewish State of Israel...the tiny sliver of a country surrounded by bullying Arab and muslim nations...the very country that many blame for all the world's woes. Israel...a biblical promise to the Jews by God with that promise finally fulfilled by man in 1948 when today's Israel rose out of the ashes of WWII... and by ashes I mean literal ashes...ashes of the attempted genocide of the entirety of the Jewish people...a should be warning for Christians everywhere.

Israel...our closest ally in all the Middle East if not the world has not seen a true and long lasting peace in its 68-years of modern existence. Israel...so desperate for an American president who will outwardly side with and support them against their enemies...and know that their enemies are our enemies as well...surely will not see one if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders becomes president. Remember, their true allegiances lie with Obama and his brethren as witnessed, in Hillary's case, by the advisers and confidants she surrounds herself with. Does the name Huma Abedin ring a bell...it should. And in Sanders' case it comes down to the word 'isolationist' for if Sanders has his way Israel and the rest of the world either would become one global nation or be damned.

And now with the possibility of Trump becoming the Republican nominee and even America's president, Israel again is on tenuous grounds at best as Trump is not fully in their corner either...and having a Jewish son-in-law and marching in a Jewish parade does not make one a true friend to Israel. And how do I know this...Trump's actions speak louder than any words to the contrary he can say.

"No one will be a bigger friend to Israel than me," Trump loves to say, but if truth be told how can one be a friend to Israel when one publicly states that they want to try to remain neutral in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and then flip-flop and say that they sees this ongoing and continuing conflict as "the ultimate deal" in the making. And why would this be the "ultimate deal"...because Donald J. Trump has so many business dealings going on with Arab countries that do not like Israel...or Jews for that matter...that to say or do otherwise would kill those deals.

Telling the 'American Israel Public Affairs Committee' earlier this year that "there is no moral equivalency" between Israel and the Palestinians, and calling to task Palestinians for fostering a society that glorifies terrorists as "heroes and "martyrs" are all pretty words to help garner the pro-Israel vote, yet not spoken of is Donald J. Trump's business dealings with the very people who when all is said and done would stab Israel in the back faster than one can say Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

"The Palestinians are not a real estate deal, Donald," said former presidential hopeful Senator Marco Rubio during one of the GOP debates, but in Trump's elitist empire building world that is exactly how Trump sees the Palestinians for if he can sway enough power... money wise...in the countries surrounding Israel he can then dictate to some degree the goings on within the country of Israel itself, including with the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. And know as fact that Trump has many business dealings going on with the very countries that are no friend to Israel...with the very muslim countries whose people he wants to stop from entering the U.S.

Fact, American wanna-be presidents do not go around making personal business deals with 'unfriendly' nations just to pad ones personal wealth, but apparently Trump does. Making millions from business deals in countries where islam is the main religion, let's site just a few examples of how two-faced Donald J. Trump really is. First up is Trump Home's partnership with the Dubai-based and Landmark Group operated, 'Lifestyle' brand where not too long ago Lifestyle CEO Sachin Mundhwa announced that Lifestyle would officially partner with Trump Home to sell high-end home furnishings exclusively in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. The rich pandering to the rich for profit alone...never mind that these countries are not really America's friends.

Also, there's Trump International Golf Course in Dubai along with a management deal with DAMAC Crescent Properties; Trump Hotel in Dubai with others under construction in Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia... the very country the 911 hijackers originated from and who are America's ally only when it serves their purposes and their purposes alone. Trump also is connected to Qatar Airways...you know Qatar the very country solely under islamic rule complete with sharia law...the very country which has its main office in of all places Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.

Trump also has various interests in the United Arab Emirates; a luxury hotel and residence deal in Baku, Azerbaijan; and Trump Towers Sisli, a residential tower in Istanbul, Turkey...Recip Erdogen's radical Turkey that sells ISIS oil, transfers monies for ISIS banks, and is a weapons delivery transit stop for terrorists from around the world... Turkey where Trump has licensed out his name to the tune of five million dollars; and Trump also has two new ventures on the drawing board in the largest muslim country in the world, Indonesia, where he has plans to build a ultra-luxury resort in Bali and a golf course in West Java, Indonesia; with all being built to increase the wealth of Trump and his empire alone. But isn't it odd that 'Mr. I'm a Billionaire' has not one altruistic project in sight to help those country's struggling middle class or poor.

And what exactly is Trump's hypocrisy in all this high stakes muslim wheeling and dealing, and how does it show him to be unsuitable to be the steward of America's ship let alone a friend to Israel...first, Trump has said on numerous occasions that he believes all muslims, no matter their country of origin, should be temporarily banned from entering the U.S. (not a bad thing actually) because we, according to him, cannot trust any of them or differentiate between the 'good ones' and the 'bad ones', yet this very man is in our face doing business with muslim countries just for personal profit and gain. Doing business with countries not truly America's friend, and employing and paying said countrymen, so isn't Trump in reality possibly helping to fund those out to kill us all. Now if that's not hypocrisy I don't know what is for if Donald J. Trump was an honorable and forthright man...a man who believed in the words he said...shouldn't he stop doing business with, profiting from, and creating jobs and wealth for the very people he does not want here...I certainly would think and hope so.

But as we all know, hopes, especially in the political arena...and Trump is indeed the consummate politician...are just thoughts cast to the wind when the bottom line is and always was, greed.

Second, with Trump acting and truly sounding like all muslims...as in every single one...are terrorists...at least when trying to stir up the masses and the angry to garner their votes...he seems to think that he and he alone can decide the exceptions to the very rule he himself is proposing. Remember, to do otherwise makes it seem that as long as a muslim country has enough money to line Trump's pockets, said country's terrorist nature...and its terrorist supporting people...can and will be overlooked. And in this hypocrisy is forgotten the fact that logic in and of itself dictates that if muslims are physically banned from coming here...whether temporarily or permanently...than that same logic should dictate that their for personal gain money should be banned here as well, especially when said money goes to line the pockets of one of America's wealthiest men who's trying to make us believe that he is one of us...as in the struggling middle class.

So how does all this influence Trump's stance on the afore mentioned Israeli/Palestinian conflict...first, it shows that Donald J. Trump cannot be trusted to do the right thing for Israel for how can America's remaining neutral be the right thing when one of our closest allies is surrounded on all sides by those trying to wipe her and her people off the map. Second, as Trump is about the almighty dollar alone you just know that there must be dollars to be had by remaining neutral and waiting to see how this conflict plays out. And the fact is that no matter who wins in the end there is money to be had...lots of it...in the rebuilding of Gaza and the West Bank. If Israel wins Trump can say he did not stand in Israel's way and invest for profit in Israel's rebuilding of land that was always rightfully theirs, and if the Palestinians are successful in stripping Israel of even more of its land for a people who actually do not exist, then Trump can move in and help develop, again for profit, a new Palestinian homeland. Either way his empire grows as do his pockets.

And the bottom line in all this...especially when we're living in such a dangerous time.. is that we're almost at the end of Barack HUSSEIN Obama's eight years of narcissistic, ego driven hypocrisy...we (and Israel) sure do not need nor can we afford another four or eight years more of the same courtesy of Donald J. Trump...a Democrat masquerading as a Republican dressed in 'Made in China' clothing.
