Democrat Hypocrisy

       Since this may be my last blog of 2016, I would like to wish you all a very happy and joyous holiday season.  The new year 2017 should bring us much happiness as we will be getting rid of the most harmful president in the history of the country.  I would like to thank you, my loyal followers, for your continual support.  With your help, my readership has grown to over 1000 and with your continued support and sharing of my blog, it will continue to grow. 

      The Democrats and a few Republicans are critical of Donald Trump's nominee Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State.  Objections seem to center around Tillerson's dealings with Russia. As CEO of Exxon, he negotiated deals with the Russian state owned oil company Rosneft.  As a result he was awarded a Russian Medal of Friendship.  A number of American have been awarded this medal since its inception around 1990 by Boris Yeltsin.  Americans that have received the award include the pianist Van Cliburn, Russian Museum of Art (Minneapolis) founder Raymond Johnson and other business people, historians, and an anthropologist.  Like Johnson, some never met Putin and the award doesn't imply close ties to the man.
     Both of Obama's Secretaries of State had much more serious issues  that should have been disqualifiers.  Hillary Clinton's ties to the Clinton Foundation were clearly a serious issue and despite her claiming to separate herself that was just not the case.  Pay for play ruled the day at the State Department and contributions to the foundation often accompanied face time with Secretary Clinton and many times the approval of arms sales.  Though she signed an agreement for Obama that she would separate herself from the Clinton Foundation, it was just for show as she continued to act as its agent and use of her private server were done with both Obama's knowledge and tacit approval.  Some of her State Department staff were also employed by the Clinton Foundation, which was illegal.
      John Kerry had a more serious conflict that he failed to disclose during the Senate Hearings for his confirmation. About the time he was being approved,  Kerry's daughter Vanessa married Behrooz Nahed, an Iranian American neurosurgery resident at Massachusetts General Hospital.  Dr, Nahed was born in New York City to Iranian parents who now live in California, but with many family members who still live in Iran. A matter of some controversy is the appearance of the son of Mohamed Jakad Zarih, the current Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs with whom Kerry negotiated the treaty (called an agreement by the Obama administration) with Iran.  Kerry was no stranger to Zahir as they met in NYC at a party thrown by none other than financial anarchist George Soros when Zahir was the Iranian Ambassador to the UN. It was claimed that Zahir's son, a friend of Nahed was his best man, but this has been denied though a wedding party photo has surfaced that included him.  Kerry should have not been involved in negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran and his Iranian friendships may indicate why the deal, with Obama's approval, was so bad for America.
      On the other hand,Tillerson was a tough negotiator for his company and stock holders when dealing with Russia and other countries with whom US relations may not be on the best of terms.  He has received very positive endorsements from both previous Secretary of State Condolezza Rice and previous Secretary of Defense under both Bush and Obama, Robert Gates.  He knows the world and many world leaders.  If the Democrats were so worried about cozying up to Russia they didn't do or say anything when Obama was caught on a live mike talking to Russian President Dimitri Medvedev that he will have "more flexibility to negotiate after the November elections."
      There is also some negative comments about Donald Trump utilizing his daughter Ivanka as the White House hostess. As we have seen she is attractive, smart, and, like her father, will work for free, a far cry from Michelle Obama who spent $85 million of our money on elaborate vacations. She will not be taking vacations at taxpayer expense.  Democrats should keep their mouths shut over this selection.  She will be a gracious hostess and I don't think the Trumps will leave the Israeli President Netanyahu waiting while they finish dinner.
     Trump seems to be assembling a cabinet of superstars who have been successful in the real world.  He has behaved like the CEO of a huge corporation,  assembling an executive  staff of intelligent successful people who can do the job, not a bunch of academics and  professional politicians.  We saw how a man, with little life experience except as a community organizer and two bit politician, could destroy a nation and an economy.  There are only a few spots left, but the most important nomination to come is to fill the empty Supreme Court seat.
      The Democrats and mainstream media would have gone crazy, if Trump had lost and requested recounts in the states he lost and they belittled him for saying he would contest the results if there were instances of voter fraud.  Miscounts were not the reason for Hillary Clinton's loss. In the previous blog I showed that the Democrats were attacking the messenger and if they had not performed unethically and criminally, the hacks by whoever and exposure by Wikileaks would have been meaningless.

      Thanks again for your support and I know we are looking forward to January 20, 2017 with eager anticipation.
