All of us have said something that eventually comes back to revisit us. Sometimes it is innocent and someone takes what we say not how we intended.
Candidate Donald Trump, when questioned about where Hillary Clinton’s 3,000 emails were said “.. maybe the Russians could find them.” Oh, oh, an idea sprung into the Democrats, FBI, CIA, and fake media proverbial heads that Trump was in bed with the Russians.
Now after close to two years of investigation by Mueller and Co., no evidence of Russian “collusion” (which is not a crime), or Russian involvement of any kind in the 2016 election. Yup, I have no illusions they wouldn’t like to disrupt our government and the elections, but no evidence of it happening in 2016 in determining the election outcome. I’m sure they tried, but no go.
However, our government has tried to influence other elections. President Barack Obama overtly tried to influence the outcome for the Prime Minister election in Israel. Tax money ($350,000) was used to support the opposition in any way they could. It is no secret and Obama was proud to interfere in another country’s political election. Now for those of you who think Obama was a wonderful president and what I present is BS, look it up. I’m not about to provide links for investigative purposes — get off your lazy butts and check it out.
Also, President Obama’s administration separated children from “parents” or those accompanying the children. When it became too hot and politically incorrect to keep up the separations, the president and Democrats invented “catch and release,” where illegal aliens were arrested and released, promising to come back to have their case adjudicate in court. Once released, they melted into the masses, never to be seen again. Another fine idea given us by the Democrat Messiah and his self-serving Democrat minions.
Liberals don’t get how President Trump was elected. It’s very easy to understand, but logic was never high on a liberal agenda or way of thinking.
1) Build the Wall – two words, Molly Tibbets! Stop the drugs flowing into our country and getting people hooked on drugs. Overdose deaths have mounted steadily. Support ICE.
2) Drain the Swamp of those not responsible to the voters they represent. They go in with very modest means and come out multi-millionaires. How does that happen on $170,000 per year when they have a place in their state and a place in D.C.? That includes Remocrats, those who act like Republicans to get elected and then vote like Democrats. I know them as scumbags, liberals love them because they are “reasonable” in that they want to be liked by Democrats and be invited to their parties and media events. A great example is Sen. Jeff Flake (appropriately named).
3) Follow the Constitution. Protect the country, give power back to the states, and get rid of laws and regulations that are not needed or effective.
4) Investigate the Clinton campaign, Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation (aka: Bank of Clinton and Massage Parlor). She and her campaign paid for the phony dossier from a foreign agent and the FBI, Justice Dept. and CIA lied to the judge to get the permission to start the Mueller investigation into Trump based on this fake information. But who cares about legalities when it comes to smearing the President that has done more in less than two years than most do in eight?
They hate him, he doesn’t fit, and besides, the people like him, so that really peeves them off. Stupid Deplorables! He says what he means and he means what he says. He gets it done. Thank you, President Trump!
5) Stop welfare. All welfare. Corporate, agricultural, individuals. Wean them off after one year of notice at 20% less per year until the end of a total of six years. The only ones needing welfare are those who can’t provide for themselves because of physical or mental disabilities. My liberal readers will have a cow, but get over it (and yourself). There are plenty of jobs out there begging for someone to fill, thanks to President Trump and his initiatives. America is on the move and respected again.
And to all my loyal readers on the left side of the political spectrum who have commented in the past, please keep up the love and best wishes to loveable Ranger Rick – much appreciated. Because I know if you’re commenting, I at least got you to read my posts. Of course, most of you either don’t address what was in the post, but I don’t expect much from you any more than you expect from me. But keep up the gibberish, I love to get the ire of those disagreeing with me to comment. And the more you comment, the more other people read to see my post and your comments.
So I take off my hat in salute to those commenting. Keep it up!
The rotting of the country from within continues…
To say anything concerning President Trump that does not contain the words: stupid, criminal, Russian, impeachment, raciest, sexist, homaphobe, idiot, criminal or other derogatory terms is not allowed, how dare you! Good column, the truth hurts the folks with TDS, which are most of the media.

Another excellent article…But I disagree on the welfare comment. Yes the system does get abused. But the idea that there are hords of jobs available to those getting welfare is just not accurate.
There is multitudes of evidence that minimum wage employment can not sustain a family even with both parents working minimum wage jobs. Many of the employment opportunity requires skills welfare recipients do not have. Plus there is little or no way to achieve those skills and support a family .
The myth that all welfare recipients are happy living on some one else’s dime, is not the truth. Most would love to live in better housing. own decent transportation. have their children in better school systems . The fact is currently that can not happen.
Many complain about welfare and subsidies, the truth is to fix the problem will cost the taxpayers more than the current system.
We over time have created this problem and not one of us ( including myself) are willing to pay outrageously high and more taxes to remedy it.
I comment because it’s necessary for someone to present facts rather than opinions posing as facts rather than innuendos, half truths and misinformation spread by President Trump’s tweets, President Trump’s speeches, Fox News commentators and taken as gospel by Ranger Rick and those who believe him on face value.
Lets begin. We’ve heard of 30,000 missing e-mails for at least two years. Why can’t they be found? Are the cyber experts from Homeland Security, CIA, FBI and Secret Service all part of a cabal that the fringe calls the “Deep State?”
Ranger Rick acts as if the Mueller investigation has already gone on too long so let’s look at how long other Special Prosecutors have taken before wrapping up their investigations. Assistant AG Rothstein appointed Robert Mueller as Special Counsel to investigate possible Russian meddling in the 2016 Presidential on May 17, 2017, about 15 months ago. For comparison to other Special Counsel investigations; Valerie Plame leaks took three years, Iran-Contra lasted over six years, the Cisneros perjury investigation lasted over eight years and Whitewater led by Ken Starr lasted over seven years. I suspect Ranger Rick never broke a sweat at how long Ken Starr was taking to investigate Whitewater. When you look at other investigations, Robert Mueller’s investigation should have at least five more years if that’s what Ken Starr needed.
Molly Tibbetts didn’t die because we didn’t have a wall on the Mexican border. Ironically, she was killed by an undocumented laborer described by his Iowa dairy farmer employer as “An employee in good standing “ who had worked there for more than four years. The reason he was there is Iowa doesn’t require E-Verify, only I-9 confirmation. So the accused killer used a fake ID that sailed through the system because the employer only checked to see if the name and number matched according to Social Security. E-Verify also checks data at Homeland Security and if the ID name and number are being used by others.
It’s a shame, but the dairy farm owner who is also active in the Iowa Farm Bureau and state GOP politics failed to use an existing program of E-Verify because he didn’t have to and he got cheap labor by an undocumented worker for years. I don’t see any call for ICE to raid every Allegan County farm and check their employees using E-Verify in any opinion pieces. No wall is going to overcome greedy employers wanting cheap labor by doing the bare minimum like happened in Iowa.
Rick’s opinions of the Clintons and former President Obama are paraphrases of Limbaugh, Hannity, Tucker Carlson and the trio from Fox and Friends. Not all facts but repeated enough that people who limit their sources of current events to those outlets believe it must be true.
Rev. Martin Niemoller began as someone who went along with the flow in post World War I Germany and for a time did nothing. When he began to speak out, warning others what was happening around them, he was initially belittled and later spent time in a German concentration camp. When I read Ranger Rick’s “opinions” and followups mocking those who disagree, its time some people stand up before the right to dissent is stopped.
Rev. Niemoller wrote this (Its from The American Holocaust Museum site):
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
And so it goes.
Well put, Couchman. I agree.
Harry and Couchman, what great comments on Rick’s garbage. The Trump people just can’t get over Obama and Clinton. Still whining and all ways whining about something. Can’t see what is happening to our country with all the lies and corruption from this administration.
