An Immigrant’s View Of The Presidential Election

Leave a comment

I had my hair cut at a barbershop owned and run by “Jane” (not her real name), a Vietnamese woman. During my haircut we got on the subject of the Presidential Election. Jane said that she is voting for “Trump“.

She told me that she would not vote for Hilary. When I asked her why that was, she said that, “Clinton just wants to get more money.  She’s in it for herself.”

Jane is an immigrant and refugee. She told me in her community a lot of people say to vote for “Clinton“. She said that we need a change.

Jane said that under “Obama” her business has suffered. She said that she used to have five people working for her cutting hair,  Now she works the business alone because, she said, that people don’t have the money for a $10 haircut.  She feels that “Clinton” wants the country stay on the same path that hurt her business and only wants to be president to “get money“.

Jane said that she now has medical coverage under Obamacare but here is what I found interesting. She said having Obamacare doesn’t matter in her choice for President. I believe her words were, “I have Obamacare.  I don’t care.  We need to think about OUR country“.

This is from someone who fled a communist takeover of her birth country, came to The United States, started a business, and most importantly, CHOSE to become a citizen, adopting this country as HER country.

There is a lot of wisdom in the phrase, “We need to think about our country“.

Is Hillybob Channeling My Blog?

1 Comment

After FBI Director Comey dropped the bomb on dear Hillybob last Friday, I watched her rally that she held a couple of hours after the news of the Congressional letter broke. I was curious to hear what she had to say about the re-opening of the CRIMINAL investigation by Director Comey.

Blah, blah, blah. It was ALMOST word for word the same teleprompter speech she has given previously. As to Director Comey’s actions, she was completely silent. BUT that’s not what I found most interesting.

In a previous post I wrote that Hillybob threatened TO KILL DONALD TRUMP. You can read the post HERE.

Her speech on Friday, again WORD FOR WORD the same as her KILLING SPEECH, except she CHANGED the threat line. Instead of saying “I don’t know what WE would have done“, she said, “People deserve to be paid“.

Is she reading my blog?  Maybe I’m planting thoughts into her brain. The way of the Jedi mind trick, I have learned.

“The Clintons.  You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany”.

“Hillybob, this is not the presidency you are looking for”.

“Donald Trump can go about his business”.

“Move along, move along…”

Terrorism. It’s About Solar Panels!

Leave a comment

Regarding solar panels and renewable energy, “This is critical for dealing with the crisis of terrorism.“, said Secretary of State John Kerry after committing the US to the Paris Climate Agreement.

I didn’t realize that if we give some solar panels to ISIS that the problem of terrorism goes away.  And according to Secretary Kerry, this is SCIENCE, not some fringe Trumpian fantasy.

Sheesh and all this time I thought it was a jihad or ideological battle of the Radical Islamists against their enemy the infidels.

I wonder if the San Bernardino shooters were given bigger Federal and California state rebates on some solar panels, if 14 people would be alive today?

If only the terrorists who flew the planes into the World Trade Center, The Pentagon, and Flight 93 which was thwarted by the brave passengers, only had the educational opportunities afforded by solar panels.  Never mind the fact that some were Saudis and had free education through college and that Mohamed Atta, the ring-leader, attended THREE UNIVERSITIES.  A few more solar panels could have prevented this growing global crisis.  You know, I don’t recall  seeing solar panels on Osama Bin Laden’s compound when he was taken out by SEAL Team 6.

I think Secretary Kerry finally revealed President Obama’s strategy on fighting terrorism.
