Actress or Leader?

In last night’s debate between Trump and Clinton I thought about how the two were reported to prepare. In Trump’s case he openly admitted that he did not rehearse because there was such a thing as over preparedness. He chose instead to read and to study issues. Hillary spent five days, or more in sessions where she answered attacks posed by a Trump roll player. To me that sounds the same as an actress delivering a memorized script before the director in a dress rehearsal situation.

Trump was clearly on the defensive during parts of the session, and his answers were short, but to the point. He didn’t spend endless minutes hearing himself pontificate as did Hillary. His responses were extemporaneous meaning he was thinking on his feet. I’d be willing to bet that Hillary’s responses were fed to her through an ear-mic; a director feeding her cues such as “#3” and she automatically begins argument number three. It was very apparent that Hillary’s answers were very well written to address issues she wanted to get out rather than to answer questions head on.


I faulted Trump for not pushing her e-mail crisis more aggressively. I had to leave the room for about five minutes so I missed a part of the debate and did not hear anything about Benghazi, nor do I know if it even came up. There was one segment which Trump clearly missed when Hillary responded to her role in initiating ISIS. Trump was making the point that Obama’s failure to leave a security force in Iraq enabled ISIS to fill the void. She answered that President Obama was not responsible for removing troops because that decision was made before his tenure, clearly a blame Bush deflection.

Donald Trump is not known for his debating ability, nor for eloquent speaking. Because of that I did not expect him to perform as well as Hillary. The problem is that we have been conditioned by years of hearing lawyers argue against each other. Lawyers are trained to debate and spend years practicing their techniques. Since most candidates are lawyers we are barraged by eloquent and fluid arguments. For instance, I rate Ted Cruz as one of the most eloquent debaters ever heard on the campaign. The point I’m trying to make is that eloquence does not necessarily mean you win the argument. In every trial there is one side that wins and one that loses, so much for eloquence.

Who do you think won the debate?

PSA-160905-Unbelievable

A guy is driving in rural Alabama and he sees a sign in front of a tired old house with lots of deferred maintenance: ‘Talking Dog For Sale ‘

He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

‘You talk?’ he asks.

‘Yep,’ the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says ‘So, what’s your story?’

The Lab looks up and says, ‘Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so… I told the CIA.

In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.’

‘I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running…

But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.

I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.’

‘I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.’

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

‘Ten dollars,’ the guy says.

‘Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?’

‘Because he lies more than Hillary; He’s never been out of the back yard’

I am sorry for sending this to you, but it is too funny not to send it along. We all got to lighten up a bit and enjoy a joke or two.

PSA-160826-Remember These

Lest we forget…

If you’re over 35, you lived through it, so read it and recollect. Amazing to me how much I had forgotten!
For those under 35, read this, verify and don’t forget.

When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over an attempt to health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn’t get a vote in a Democrat controlled US Congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million for studies, promotion, and other efforts.

Then, President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration.

Next, she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.”

Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.

Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovery of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.

Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department.

Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

Many younger voters will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.

Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.

Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.

Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the “bimbo eruption” and scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:

She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.

She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor.

After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs. Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for ‘lying under oath’ to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.

Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.

After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.

What a swell person – ready for another four or eight years of this low-life fool?

Now we are exposed to the unsecure keeping and attempted destruction of beyond Top Secret emails while Hillary was US Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation. What “shoe will fall” next?

But to her loyal fans: “What difference does it make?”

Electing Hillary Clinton president would be like granting Satan absolution and giving him the keys to heaven!
