Like Chinese Water Torture, The Democrats Are Trying To Kill President Trump

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Drip by drip, they began putting Trump’s family and him through torture when Melania and he came down the escalator at New York City’s Trump Tower, and commenced their quest for the presidency in 2016.[2]  They did something similar to former President Richard Nixon with Watergate, and to former President Ronald Reagan with Iran Contra.  Any American who defies them can expect the same treatment, which is evil and unconscionable.

Those of us who began as Democrats are stunned by what has happened to our party.  Some of us left it years ago, and became Independents.  Others became Republicans, or joined the non-aligned.  Today, many of us are chastened, saddened and appalled by how unrecognizable our former party has become.  Read George Orwell’s prescient “Animal Farm”[3], or understand how Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung came to power, and wielded it; and you will understand the pattern.

If Trump dropped out of the 2024 campaign, would they stop?  Unlikely, because they want to send a message, loud and clear, far and wide, never to challenge them.  They are ruthless and demonic; and a force behind them is the racist and anti-Semite Barack Obama.  From day to day, Joe Biden doesn’t know what planet he is on.

Obama’s hatred of America began decades ago, before he ever lived on the U.S. mainland, and it continues to this day.  To his credit, he was bold enough to describe it in vivid detail, which few Americans heeded much less understood.[4]  Michelle Obama understands his hatred, and shares it; and her anger at times becomes uncontrollable.  Unlike her, he just keeps on grinning.

Revisit the attacks on Trump since 2016, and it will become clearer that they have been launched by Barack’s acolytes and true believers: in government, the media, among prosecutors and the judiciary.  They are cruel and relentless.  However, make no mistake about it: they are determined to destroy anyone and everyone in their path.  And they will kill if necessary, without a twinge of guilt or remorse—like Abraham Lincoln was killed.[5]

The Amtrak Scam

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

For many years, I have written about scams—all types, scopes and targets.[2].  They are only limited by one’s sinister imagination; and they fleece Americans and others globally of their monies, with zero remorse.  The latest one involves Amtrak, and those who want to ride its trains.

Sadly, Amtrak’s services were crippled by the Covid pandemic lockdowns, like so many other American businesses.  Now, as concerns about Covid mutations grow[3], Amtrak’s reputation and employees are being damaged by this scam, whose architects must be incarcerated for decades.

The scam is described as follows:

Amtrak is running a promotion where all US residents can get a card for 1 dollar to ride trains for free for a year. . . .

Click on the “Read More” button and answer a few questions to get your card. . . .

Hurry . . . Limited quantities. . . .[4]

Its criminality has been described as follows:

If you are a frequent traveler, you may have heard of the Amtrak $1 Gift Card Giveaway Scam.  This is a fraudulent scheme that targets people who are looking for cheap deals on train tickets.  The scam promises to give you an Amtrak gift card worth $100 for only $1, but in reality, it is a trap that will cost you much more.[5]

Not only does such a scam hurt innocent victims, but it maligns the fine services provided by Amtrak and its dedicated employees on its Coast Starlight and other trains.

E pluribus unum

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

E pluribus unum is Latin for “Out of many, one,” and it is a traditional motto of the United States, appearing on the Great Seal.  Its inclusion was approved by an act of the U.S. Congress in 1782.  It is still considered the de facto motto of the United States from its early history.[2]

In many ways, America is best embodied in Sylvester Stallone’s original “Rocky”—the rise of someone from nowhere, against all odds.[3]  We have been that country, regardless of our color, ethnic origin or sex.  Yet, the United States is not that country anymore. 

Those of us who followed championship boxing since we were kids don’t know who the title holders are today.  A former heavyweight champion is the mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine; and he is enmeshed in that vicious, seemingly-unending war.[4]

Perhaps one of the most telling developments is that the Democrats are abandoning Joe Biden.[5]  They are smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall, but they are caught on the horns of a dilemma: how to jettison him—and Willie Brown’s former ho Kamala Harris[6]—and who can win for them?

Will it be Nancy Pelosi’s relative Gavin Newsom, or the racist and always-angry Michelle Obama?  Or will they pick some “sacrificial lamb” like George McGovern, who ran against Richard Nixon in 1972.[7]. If so, they are apt to spend the next four years trying the destroy the likely-winner, Donald Trump, as they did with Nixon after his landslide victory.

Trump and his family have already endured more attacks than any President in our history, except Abraham Lincoln.  Will they actually kill him too, and end any hope of “E pluribus unum,” as crime sweeps through America?[8]  It took many decades to heal the divisions created by our Civil War.  Some contend that the animus has never really left us.

Netanyahu Is Destroying Israel’s Democracy, And Biden Is Destroying America

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

To be especially kind, Joe Biden is “brain addled.”  He is an embarrassment globally; and he is a criminal who should be impeached and removed from office.  The same is true of his Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, their “hatchet man” Jack Smith and many others in the “Deep State.”

They are turning off Democrats, former Democrats, Independents and the non-aligned.  When I left the United States Senate, I concluded that the Democrats were “evil” but smart, while the Republicans were “Neanderthals” and dumb.  I have been an Independent ever since.

Joe Biden has been systematically destroying the Democratic Party; and it is in a bind.  Those who count don’t have the guts to dump him, especially with Willie Brown’s former ho Kamala Harris standing in the wings to replace him, and being a laughingstock in America and globally.[2]  Gavin Newsom wants to be the Democrats’ nominee, and perhaps Michelle Obama does too, but Joe Biden may take the party down with him between now and November of 2024.

Decades ago, Benjamin Netanyahu morphed into his ancestors’ Nazi oppressors.  He was hated by Ariel Sharon and the Rabins; and the “Lioness” Leah Rabin blamed him for her husband’s tragic assassination.  She believed peace was impossible with Netanyahu at Israel’s helm; and her views were prescient.[3]  Today, he and the Settlers and rabid Zionists are systematically “destroying” Israel’s democracy, while Biden is destroying his party and America.

“Make America Great Again” (MAGA) supporters are united behind Donald Trump’s reelection, and more committed than ever.  Independents and even disgruntled minorities (e.g., Hispanics, blacks) are drawn to their ranks, by increasing numbers.  Clearly, Israel’s hardliners will take umbrage at my conclusions above.  And many or most Democrats are in denial about their political prospects with Biden as their titular leader.  But both groups need to be realistic and appreciate what the future may hold for them.

America’s Sodom And Gomorrah

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Harvey Weinstein, Roman Polanski and Bill Cosby are not aberrations.  Women have been raped and defiled by the likes of them since the movie capital of the world began its existence as such.  Washington, D.C. is the mirror image of LA.[2]. They are “Sin Cities USA,” along with Las Vegas.  Today, they don’t even pretend to be otherwise.[3]

Needless to say, America’s enemies haven’t missed this decline and degradation one iota.  Quite to the contrary, they are taking advantage of it at every turn.  We are enmeshed in a war in Ukraine, which like other American debacles—Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq—has no end in sight.  Wokeism has exalted freaks of nature and proper pronouns to such an extent that women’s sports are denigrated; their safety in restrooms and athletic facilities is threatened[4]; and sex changes are taught if not encouraged at an early age.

There are zero doubts that the inmates have taken over the asylum.[5]. Our borders are essentially wide open; drugs flow freely; crime is RAMPANT; and America’s future is seriously in question.  Moreover, those who love our country feel helpless to change its trajectory.  Everywhere they turn, there is madness.  America has become unrecognizable since brain-addled Joe Biden and his thugs regained control of the levers of power barely two and a half years ago.[6]

Can 9/11 Happen Again?

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

More than two decades ago, I had dinner in the “Windows on the World” restaurant at the top of a World Trade Center tower in New York City, which no longer exists.  Twenty-two years ago, on September 11, 2001, it was hit by a passenger jet and came crashing down.[2]

I had worked in the Pentagon too, and that day another jet cut a swath into the building, and killed many inside as well as its passengers.  Another jet crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after a group of passengers rushed the cockpit and its hijackers.

Still another jet brought down a second World Trade Center tower.  For some of us, 9/11 will be remembered forever, like the day when I walked out of my law school class to learn that John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas.

Also, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii changed lives forever.  Most of the “Greatest Generation” of Americans who won World War II are gone now.  So are many of those who served in our wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.

But no American should ever forget these events in our history, lest they be repeated in horrific ways.  Nuclear attacks can occur, as well as nation-ending EMP attacks that would take down our electrical grids and make electric vehicles (EVs) useless, and kill most of us.[3]

Tragically, D-Day that changed the world is largely forgotten[4]; and the Fourth of July is too.[5]. Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it . . . or even worse—much worse than 9/11.  History must be taught and revered, not ignored or rewritten.  The good, bad and the ugly must be understood, to put the future into perspective.[6]

Challenging The Sacred Cows And Orthodoxy

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

We Americans live in troubled times of great divisions, as great as I have seen since the Vietnam War era, when friends of mine died for nothing, and our warriors came home to ridicule and condemnation.  Obviously, our Civil War pitted Americans against their brothers in the South, and became the greatest loss of life in our history.

In a very real sense, the Democrats gave us both wars.  John F. Kennedy launched the Vietnam War, and Lyndon Johnson escalated it.  The Democrats perpetuated slavery; and after the Civil War, they gave us the KKK, segregation and Johnson’s “Great Society” programs that destroyed black families and consigned them to economic servitude.  Today’s racial issues are a direct result of their actions.

To compound their atrocities, they have attacked our police, and unleashed the lawless society in which we live, where once-great cities such as San Francisco are being destroyed.  Why should any American want to travel there, when crime and drug-infested areas, along with empty stores and malls, permeate the landscape?

Are we a welcoming and benevolent people?  Of course we are.  But not so much that our immigration laws are to be ignored, and our borders are wide open to criminals, cartel members, human traffickers and killer drugs such as Fentanyl.  We say enough is enough, and hopefully mean it this time.

But the always-despicable Democrats—and yes, lots of us began as Democrats—are banking on the fact that most Americans don’t care.  Or the Republicans are sufficiently incompetent and divided that they will eke out a victory again, by hook or crook.

And who can blame them for thinking this way.  They have rigged elections ever since the Kennedys, Sam Giancana and the Chicago mob stole the 1960 election from Richard Nixon.  Then, after he was elected twice, with his second election being a landslide, they forced his resignation and retreat to San Clemente.[2]

Today, the Democrats and the prosecutors such as the despicable Jack Smith and biased judges are jailing those who challenged the 2020 election results, which is the world turned upside down.  Indeed, each and every prosecutor and judge who aids and abets such lawlessness needs to be incarcerated at Rikers Island or comparable facilities, where the inmates will dispense true justice to them.

Needless to say, our enemies globally—such as China’s Xi Jinping, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un—are amazed at their good fortunes.  America is being led by a flaming imbecile, Joe Biden, with Willie Brown’s former ho Kamala Harris waiting in the wings for Biden to croak.  And yes, the world is amazed too, as America is torn asunder from within.

Rest assured that those of us who challenge the sacred cows and orthodoxy will be attacked in a thousand different ways, because that’s what the Pigs of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” always do.[3]

The Dream Of Freedom Will Never Cease

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

People flock to our shores from other countries because the American dream is alive and well.  It has been estimated that those seeking entry via our southern border alone are from more than 140 different countries.[2]. They aren’t seeking entry to Vladimir Putin’s Russia or to Xi Jinping’s China, but they are enduring enormous risks to come here.

Contrariwise, Adolf Hitler’s dream of a “Thousand-Year Reich” is dead and buried.  So is Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union.  I was in Berlin when it breathed its last gasps.  The sun set on Japan’s “Rising Sun” too.  And the oppression of Joe Biden and his despicable Democrats will end like the Pigs of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.”[3]. History has recorded the rise and fall of despots too many times to count.  Vladimir Putin’s time on this Earth is finite, and the same is true of Xi Jinping.

Some of us began as Democrats, and we are ashamed of that fact today.  We were sucked in by the “style” and flowery words of John F. Kennedy—written for him by Ted Sorensen[4]—who was probably the greatest fraud in American history.  He is rivaled only by the consummate racist Barack Obama, who may be “pulling the strings” like a puppeteer over brain-addled Joe Biden.[5]. The term “Progressives” is a total misnomer, which was coined to mask their thoroughly-evil intentions and actions.  They are no more “saintly” than Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Xi Jinping and their thugs.

By and large, Americans are very forgiving and tolerant.  But they reach a point of no-return, where enough is enough.  Obama, Biden and their Democrats have been systematically destroying the America that we love.  And yes, ours is a country of different races, ethnic backgrounds and aspirations.  Aside from Donald Trump, their latest target is Vivek Ramaswamy—whose family came from India—because of his rising popularity.  They are vicious, other-worldly and bent on snuffing out our freedoms, which more and more Americans are realizing in spades.[6]

Perhaps the most disturbing question is why any American would want to run for the presidency or other political offices after what Trump, Ramaswamy and their families have been subjected to?  An attempt has been made on young Barron Trump’s life[7]; and that is only the beginning of the insidious Left’s efforts to intimidate conservative candidates.[8]. Surely their threats and actions are as evil as those perpetrated by Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Xi Jinping and their thugs.

A Turning Point In Global History?

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Most Americans and those of other countries are myopic in terms of their lives and visions of the future.  They are focused on day-to-day living, and little else, and understandably so.  Having survived the Covid-19 pandemic, in terms of their health and economic well-being, they are being forced to revisit those issues and consider wearing masks again, as new strains emerge.[2]  No rest; just a relatively-short breather; and worries return.

Will our kids go into lockdowns and virtual classrooms like before?  Will governmental rules affect and direct our lives?  Will they be used to “order” us?  Will Americans and their counterparts abroad rebel, and say enough is enough?  Many have gotten used to working remotely, and they are being told to come to the office again, at least part of the time.  They view crime-infested cities and lengthy commutes as an anathema, to be avoided.

We live in times of “haves” and “have nots,” vast wealth side-by-side with homelessness.  “Tent cities” seem to be the norm, certainly in America’s metropolitan areas, like the once-admired and now-boycotted San Francisco.  Real estate prices have skyrocketed, reflecting over-arching inflation, but that bubble may burst and “reality” may hit with a thud.[3]  Perhaps the reality of “Life” was described most succinctly when the poet Robert Frost wrote that everything he had learned about it can be summed up in three words: “It goes on.”[4]

Russia’s Vladimir Putin kills his rivals, and unleashes unfathomable brutality and inhumanity on Ukraine.  China “warehouses” more than a million Uyghurs and others in “concentration camps,” and threatens Taiwan, yet the world is silent and keeps buying Chinese products.[5]. Sophisticated weaponry is developed and tested, which might destroy large portions of the world.  India and China pollute our planet; illegal aliens invade our country, and drugs flow freely; yet life goes on.  Our nation is divided like no other period in its history except the Civil War.

Organized religion is attacked at a time when our churches are finally recovering from the Covid lockdowns.  Sporting events are an emotional “escape” from the trials and tribulations of life, just as movies, live concerts and festivals enhance joy.  Yet, violent weather systems savage the Gulf and East Coast, and other parts of our country.  Where is God?[6]  Here, there and everywhere[7]; and yes, life does go on.
