Should Democrats capture The House and unless cooler heads prevail, if any are left in the leftist Democrat party, and Mueller, after yeoman effort, is unable to do more than write a report that, at least, provides ammunition for the Trump haters, Trump will probably be impeached. In all likelihood, the charge will not prevail in The Senate. Consequently, the public will be tortured for several months as the Waters' types are given the opportunity of evacuating their bile at public expense.
Nothing in this sordid trumped up affair will have served the public other than a few out large people will have been found guilty of being crooks.
Trump voters will learn what we already knew - "Donald" has a "uge" ego, led a Playboy life prior to becoming President and has done more to keep his campaign pledges than any president in recent history though, you have to acknowledge, Obama did transform America.
In 2016 we did not choose to elect a fraudulent "saint." Instead, we decided it was time to elect a can do president barnacles and all.
We have been reminded, again and again, Trump is a New York brawler type who is brash, boorish, crude but leaves no doubt where he stands and for those who are fed up with the Hillary-Kerry- Schumer-Pelosi-Ryan types, Trump is refreshing. He is more than willing to engage, he is willing to touch the third rail, he is not crippled by inertia and convention, he cares deeply about our nation and, so far, has mostly proven to be the right man at the right time.
I will go out on a premature limb and assert we will look back decades from now and come to this realization.
Trust the people not the politicians and the mass media is the lesson to be learned. (See 1 and 1a below.)
Comment from a dear friend and fellow memo reader: "Omarosa, Cohen Defections Raise Questions About Trump’s Leadership Style"
My response: "Trump's leadership style is fine for a New York Play Boy?Real Estate Developer but the transition to The White House revealed the errors of his format. He is in the big leagues now and his former position was equivalent to sand lot play. Also, his ego is too large for the fish bowl in which he now lives. Me"
This also some a dear friend and fellow memo reader.
These beautiful words are taken from a posting on my facebook page by my cousin Lilah (Lily) Rose, the daughter of my cousin Carola.
It’s about her son Jake.
I hope it will touch you as deep as it touched me.
“As we begin a new school year, take a minute to say a little prayer for the kids that don't fit in. The kids that come home in tears, because they sit on the buddy bench at recess- and even then no one will play with them. The kids that are “different” at school. Pray they know they are loved, pray they know they are special, and pray they find their tribe of friends.
Teach your kids to be kind. Teach them to reach out to those who seem to need a friend or buddy. The best way to do this is to model this ourselves......

1) President Trump didn’t violate campaign-finance law
By Dan Backer
In light of Michael Cohen’s plea deal, Democrats and the liberal news media are out for blood. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., called for a congressional hearing to “obtain sworn testimony directly from Mr. Cohen.” Time magazine proclaimed: “Trump is in trouble. Here’s how much worse it can get.”
Except he’s not, and it won’t get “worse.” Actual campaign-finance experts, outside the liberal outrage mob, generally agree: Even if Cohen’s activities are campaign-related — though they probably aren’t — they amount to a Federal Election Commission speeding ticket.
President Donald Trump didn’t violate campaign-finance law; the payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal came from his personal finances, not campaign funds, for something he believed was unrelated to the campaign. As the president told Fox News, “They didn’t come out of the campaign; they came from me.”
At the very worst, even if re-characterized to be campaign-related, the “violation” amounts to underreporting relatively insignificant contributions from a candidate to his own campaign.
But the liberal mob never misses an opportunity to undermine the Trump presidency, lobbying for an endless investigation into President Trump. All this after the Mueller investigation has already cost roughly $20 million — and no Russian collusion found.
Why should Congress perpetuate this witch hunt? The Mueller investigation has morphed from chasing after paid-for allegations of Russian collusion to chasing down Paul Manafort’s and Michael Cohen’s transgressions — a testament to the investigation’s ineffectiveness. However justified, albeit politically motivated, the underlying prosecutions of Manafort and Cohen may be, they stem from business dealings long before there was a Trump campaign.
Mueller and his team of Democratic lawyers should either produce actual evidence of collusion or pack it up.
There’s no fire here; there isn’t even any smoke. In the face of a booming economy, the left is just running out of ways to attack President Trump — and hoping you won’t notice.

1a) “Give me an asshole who can play …”
This is a famous quote from iconic drummer, Buddy Rich. Buddy only wanted the best on stage with him. He didn’t care about their “moral character” or if they were pleasant to be around. He didn’t even care if he, himself, liked them. He hired only guys who could burn the room down with him …not boy scouts who were mediocre. Hence, the famous quote.
President Donald Trump appears to be in trouble. A series of confessions and convictions, of and by people around him, are casting a strange, dark light on his presidency at the moment. There is a perception (at least) that shady stuff has gone on around this guy. And when shady stuff constantly goes on around someone in charge, you have to conclude that the guy in charge is okay with shady stuff.
Has he hung around tax evaders and money launderers? Clearly. Did he pay off porn stars and Playboy Playmates to keep their dalliances quiet? I think we can safely conclude that he did. Is he a petulant child in the Twitter-verse? One hundred percent. Does he say things in public my mother would slap me for saying? Literally, everyday. Did he conspire with a foreign power to win an election? Maybe. Will any of this make a difference to his supporters? That’s a complicated answer. Let me explain …
I have a theory that all presidential elections are reactions to the sitting president at the time. I’m old enough to remember Jimmy Carter getting elected (in large part) because he was a wholesome, moral breath of fresh air in an atmosphere of corruption and scandal created during the Nixon years. I was only a kid, but I distinctly remember entire churches being excited to go out and vote for an openly Christian man for president. Then, after four years of that disaster, I remember those same people breaking speed limit laws to get to the polls to vote for Reagan as fast as they could.
The conditions that created a “president Trump” kinda started with Bill Clinton, who led to George W Bush …who led to Barack Obama.
By the time we got to him, Mr Obama was going to be the antidote to incompetence and corruption and war mongering and, yes …even racism. But a very strange thing happened during Mr Obama’s presidency. Racism didn’t end. Corruption didn’t end. Wars didn’t end. And incompetence might’ve actually gotten worse. My full day of talking to the customer service agent at the newly created healthcare exchange, did NOT leave me confident.
And what was discovered during Mr Obama’s 8 years, was that in a free market nation, over-taxing, over-regulating and a leader who constantly berates the business community and supports policies that place more emphasis on celebrating the “diversity” of people groups than on law and order for every individual, and foreign policies that take everything but the nation you’ve been elected to lead into account, simply doesn’t work.
What was also exposed in those 8 years was how feckless and weak Republicans had actually become in their opposition to such things. And with candidates literally talking openly about socialism and nationalizing private institutions, a guy like Trump comes along and promises to re-set the foundation of the nation the way Americans understand it …and the way they want it. Is he really that much of a surprise?
I talk occasionally about the fourth revolution. And Donald Trump is the leader of it.
If you’re appalled at the lewd behavior of your president, you’re behind. That ship sailed when one was getting blow jobs by an intern half his age, in the Oval Office …AND. NOBODY. CARED.
If you wish your president was decent and measured and refused to return fire at his critics, you’re behind. We already had that guy and he was called a war criminal, who should be tried at the Hague (Rosie O’Donell’s public announcement) and “retarded” (Chris Rock’s word – DEFINITELY not mine), someone who should force his daughters to go to war (Matt Damon’s suggestion) a monster who deliberately broke the levies in New Orleans to drown black people (Spike Lee’s claim) and on and on and on …AND. NOBODY. CARED.
If you wish your president was upstanding and righteous and said all the right things, you’re behind. Mitt Romney already ran. AND. NOBODY. CARED.
If you wish your president was a humble and honorable true public servant, without moral blemishes, you’re behind. Bob Dole (a man who gave his right hand to his country) and John McCain (a man who gave both arms to his country) already ran. AND. NOBODY. CARED.
Donald Trump was the last branch to grab before the nation hit the ground. But he has changed the game in some ways. Nobody believes a nice guy can get it done, anymore. We’ve had nice guys …and nothing changed.
Cutting taxes and repatriating a trillion dollars was the right thing to do. And it’s working. And only a guy who doesn’t give crap about what people think of him could’ve gotten it done. Moving the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem was the right thing to do. It sends a message to the rest of the middle east and, in turn, creates a stability hard to quantify. Presidents on BOTH sides of the aisle have promised to do it. It should’ve been done decades ago. But only a guy who doesn’t give a crap about what people think of him could’ve gotten it done.
Taking Kim Jong Un on …head on …is looking like it was the right thing to do. But only a guy who doesn’t give a crap about what people think of him would’ve even attempted it.
While Mr Trump’s lawyers and campaign people were perp-walking in and out of ivory towers, a teenaged girl in Iowa – as middle-America a place as you can find – was being murdered by someone in the country illegally. That creates real world fear for Americans everywhere. We have enough fear of our own citizenry, breaking our own laws. And reasonable Americans don’t think it’s UNreasonable to ask people wanting to come to our country …to sign the hell in. They don’t see how that makes them racists. It simply doesn’t compute. And the only elected leader giving them any cover is the flawed president.
So, did Donald Trump collude and conspire with Russians to win an election? What the media and his opponents (and even a lot of Republicans) STILL don’t or can’t or won’t understand is that it doesn’t matter. He didn’t have to collude with anybody. He was going to win either way. He had millions of Americans at “build a wall” and “cut your taxes” and especially at, “I don’t give a crap what people think.”
Donald Trump may get impeached or arrested or disgraced or unseated or whatever. But what people had better realize is that if he’s gone, a large percentage of the population will be looking for something or someone JUST like him …to replace him. There’s too much at stake; too many socialists on the horizon, too many empty suits looking for lifetime political gigs, too many “nice guys” with great smiles and weak spines, to take anymore chances.
We just want an asshole who can play. And with the economy roaring and North Korea neutralized and ISIS basically contained and defeated, it appears that despite all the weirdness that surrounds him, he can, indeed, play.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++2) On their way to the church to get married, a young Catholic couple were involved in a fatal car accident.
Being good Catholics the young couple find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.
While waiting, they begin to wonder: could they possibly get married in Heaven?
When St. Peter finally showed up, they asked him.
St Peter said "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out" and he leaves them sitting at the Gate.
After three months, St Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled. "Yes" he informs the couple " I can get you married in Heaven".
"Great!" said the couple "But we were just wondering, what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
"Great!" said the couple "But we were just wondering, what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
"You must be bloody joking" says St. Peter, red-faced with frustration, slamming his clipboard on the ground.
"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple".
"OH, COME ON!" St. Peter shouted "It took me three months to find a priest up here.....Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?"
