“We
should understand the Constitution as the founders meant that it should
be understood. We can do this by reading their words about it, such as
those contained in the Federalist Papers. Such understanding is essential
if we are to preserve what God has given us.” —Ezra Taft
Benson
“We
may be tossed upon an ocean where we can see no land – not, perhaps,
the sun or stars. But there is a chart and a compass for us to study,
to consult, and to obey. The chart is the Constitution.” —Daniel
Webster at an address at Springfield Massachusetts on 29 September 1847
President
Trump Listens to Us
Am I
pleased with our President-elect’s choices so far? Yes, I am. Like
Trump, none of them are perfect, but they will do a wonderful job for
our new President. Even if there are areas in these men’s political
lives that are not perfect, we now have a president who will listen to
the American people. He has heard us in the past.
We told
Mr. Trump that common core was rotting the minds of the students and destroying
the teaching profession, and the government schools have eliminated academic
teaching. Trump knows, and common core is on the way out. More than that
needs to go as well.
Long
ago, Trump was pro-choice, thought it was a woman’s right, but then
he watched a video of an abortion, and that was the catalyst that brought
him to the saving knowledge that it is an evil that needs to be eliminated.
The gestating baby is a human being that is separate from the mother,
and as such should have the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
When
Mr. Trump was first questioned about the land in the Western states being
held by the Feds, he thought it was okay. Then he got some flak from the
American citizens who know what is going on. He sent his son to investigate,
and then Trump wrote an article about it in the Reno Gazette Journal,
Trump:
Nevada, US Needs a President Who Obeys the Law. Listen to this three-minute
video on same.
I do
not know of any politician, much less a president of the United States
who has listened to the people like Donald J. Trump. This is why I have
hope.
There
are two areas I’m deeply concerned about; the main one is education,
because I do not believe he is getting the advice he needs to make proper
choices in personnel. The names I’ve heard are the enemies of education,
and are extremely troubling, but more about that in another article.
The
other area that deeply concerns me is Veteran Affairs. We need a veteran
to take on the problems in this arena. It would also be wise to have a
veteran who has been through the VA system and knows what needs to be
done to implement our President’s agenda.
The
choices of our 45th president are, so far, absolutely brilliant. He is
choosing the cream of the crop, and those who will follow through with
the policies and plans our new President has to Make America Great Again.
Lt.
General Michael T. Flynn
General
Flynn has accepted the position of National Security Advisor. I am so
pleased to know he will be helping our new President. This is a man of
great character and intellect who is absolutely perfect for the position.
I cannot express how absolutely delighted I am at this appointment.
If you
wish to know all about General Flynn, pick up a copy of his bestselling
book, The
Field of Fight. It is 180 pages long with an index and is a quick
read. His book offers a plan that combines creative, imaginative, and
strategic solutions with political engagement and effective military action…a
plan to win.
Congratulations
to General Flynn!
Senator
Jeff Sessions
For
two decades, Jeff Sessions has been the junior senator from Alabama. He
is beloved by his constituents.
Senator
Sessions chaired Trump’s National Security Advisory committee. ‘‘The
president-elect has been unbelievably impressed with Senator Sessions
and his phenomenal record as Alabama’s attorney general and U.S.
attorney,’’ a Trump transition statement released Thursday
read. ‘‘It is no wonder the people of Alabama re-elected him
without opposition.’’
Sessions
has opposed nearly every immigration bill that has come before the Senate
the past two decades that has included a path to citizenship for immigrants
in the country illegally.
He’s
also fought legal immigration, including guest worker programs for illegal
immigrants and visa programs for foreign workers in science, math and
high-tech. In 2007, Sessions got a bill passed which essentially banned,
for 10 years, federal contractors who hire illegal immigrants.
‘Legal
immigration is the primary source of low-wage immigration into the United
States,’’ Sessions argued in a 2015 Washington Post op-ed.
‘‘... What we need now is immigration moderation: slowing
the pace of new arrivals so that wages can rise, welfare rolls can shrink,
and the forces of assimilation can knit us all more closely together.’’

He's
also a debt and military hawk, and a full-fledged climate change skeptic!
I have
always favored Senator Sessions because of his stance on trade, and especially
on the horrible Trans
Pacific Partnership (TPP). He was also against fast tracking of TPP
which many senators voted for, including Sen. Cruz. Fast tracking actually
gave away Congress’s control to the President for six years. Fast-track,
or trade promotion authority (TPA), allowed the White House to send trade
deals to Congress for up-or-down votes. The Senate would not be able to
filibuster them, and lawmakers would not have the power to amend them.
The
expedited process, which lasts until 2018, and can be extended until 2021,
greatly increased Obama’s chances of concluding negotiations on
the TPP, which was a top goal of his. Thankfully, it has not passed.
Senator
Sessions has not always voted the way I would have liked, but he is strong
on the rule of law, and strong on protecting America. This is an honorable
and good man, and I pray the Senate endorses his nomination.
Congressman
Mike Pompeo
President
elect Trump has nominated Congressman Mike Pompeo for head of the CIA.
I’m impressed with Pompeo’s strong stance for law and order,
not to mention his ability to staunch pro-terrorism activities in local
mosques. [Link]
Mike Pompeo, a conservative Republican congressman from Kansas, has heavily
criticized the Iran deal, and was a member of the congressional committee
that blasted Hillary Clinton over the attack in Benghazi, Libya. Watch
his questioning of Hillary on Benghazi. Pompeo would be a huge improvement
over John Brennan.
See
YouTube Video Here.
Pompeo
is a member of the House intelligence committee, which oversees U.S. intelligence
gathering efforts. In 2014, he was appointed to the House Select Benghazi
Committee to probe the 2011 attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi.
Pompeo
certainly has the knowledge and skills to run the CIA. More than that
he has the guts to make a tough call, something the CIA has been unwilling
to do since early in the George W. Bush administration. So far, so good,
but…
Unfortunately,
here’s what Mike Pompeo had to say about Edward Snowden: “[He]
should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think
the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence.”
(Washington
Examiner, 2/11/16). I am in total disagreement with
Pompeo and Trump’s stances on Edward Snowden. To most Americans,
Snowden is a hero.
Rep.
Pompeo is also a heavy supporter of the NSA’s surveillance programs:
“Congress should pass a law re-establishing collection of all metadata,
and combining it with publicly available financial and lifestyle information
into a comprehensive, searchable database. Legal and bureaucratic impediments
to surveillance should be removed.” (The Atlantic, 11/18/16). Sorry
Mike and President elect Trump, this is totally unconstitutional and I
fully disagree with you.

NEWTOWN, Conn – -(Ammoland.com)- President-elect Donald Trump will nominate Alabama U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general, several news sources are reporting today.
Sessions was the first senator to endorse Trump and served as a trusted adviser during the campaign.
Prior to the Senate, Sessions served as Alabama attorney general in the mid-1990s and was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Alabama during the Reagan administration.
The attorney general’s position is arguably the most important of the cabinet positions with regard to the firearms industry.
His A+ rating from the NRA validates Sessions’ strongly pro-gun record as an elected official.

Trump Taps Jeff Sessions for AG,
Rep. Pompeo for CIA Chief
BY CHERYL CHUMLEY

Donald Trump has reportedly made his picks for key Cabinet and administration roles, including Sen. Jeff Sessions for attorney general, Rep. Mike Pompeo for CIA director and retired Gen. Mike Flyn for national security adviser.
That’s according to Bloomberg News and the New York Times, newspapers that both reported Trump’s team was due to make a formal announcement in the coming hours.
From Bloomberg:
“President-elect Donald Trump has settled on Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions for attorney general, according to two people familiar with the matter.“It wasn’t immediately clear if Trump has formally offered the job to Sessions, a lawyer who was an early and ardent Trump backer, but the people familiar said Trump wants Sessions in the role.“A Trump aide on Thursday night called Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a one-time Trump rival who was under serious consideration for the role, to tell him the job was instead going to Sessions, one of the people familiar said. The people asked not to be named because the decision has not yet been made public.”
Pompeo serves on the House Intelligence Committee.
From Breitbart:
“Rep. Mike Pompeo has been selected by Trump as CIA director and retired General Mike Flynn has been selected as his national security adviser.“[Pompeo’s] popular with the national security hawks in Washington as he supports restoring the intelligence community’s ability to collect bulk metadata. He is also a firm opponent of the Iran Deal and served on the House special committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks.”
The New York Times offered a bit of background about Sessions, as well as confirmed his looming formal appointment to the attorney general spot.
The newspaper said:
“Mr. Sessions, a former prosecutor elected to the Senate in 1996, serves on the Judiciary Committee and has opposed immigration reform as well as bipartisan proposals to cut mandatory minimum prison sentences.”
That last was a pet project of President Obama, who made it his personal goal to issue mandatory jail sentence reductions to certain criminals currently behind bars.
Sen. Ted Cruz had been talked about as a likely candidate for the lead Justice Department spot. But Bloomberg reported Friday that the Texas senator was told by Trump team members the job had gone to Sessions instead.
The Washington Post reported more:
“Sessions’s offer was finalized Thursday and the senator has been working with staff to lay the groundwork for an official announcement, said one person close to the transition, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.“Two people who have spoken directly with Trump officials said Pompeo had been offered and has accepted the job of CIA director. They also asked for anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the process. …“Sessions, 69, was Trump’s first endorser in the Senate and quickly became the then-candidate’s chief resource on policy. Known for his hard-line views on immigration, the fourth-term senator has been dogged by accusations of racism throughout his career. In 1986, he was denied a federal judgeship after former colleagues testified before a Senate that he joked about the Ku Klux Klan, saying he thought they were ‘okay, until he learned that they smoked marijuana.'”“Pompeo, 52, was elected to the House in 2010 as part of the first wave of so-called tea party lawmakers. A West Point and Harvard Law School graduate, he serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and is a close ally of Vice President-elect Mike Pence.”
Pompeo, who had endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio for president during the primary season, has been an outspoken critic of President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran.
