Jeff Sessions, President Trump’s just appointed Attorney General, recused himself today from the investigation into the left’s fake pretence that Russia meddled with the Presidential elections and had ties to the Trump campaign. Sessions’ hasty retreat from a non-fight about a non-event is IMHO the Trump Administration’s first big mistake. This is not a miscalculation in the legal realm, it is a miscalculation in the PR war that the left, led by Obama, is waging against President Trump.
In January I posted here on FA, “The Coming War On America – by Soros/Obama/Democrats”. It has been evident that the movement leaders don’t care about America or its people. Their objective is and has been to lessen its presence and dominance. They cannot create jobs because they don’t know how. They have repeatedly demonstrated disdain for the Constitution, the very basis for why America exists and why it is probable that half of the world’s population wishes it could live in America.
In all my years of travel around the world, for both business and pleasure, other than a few self-righteous Canadians and Parisians, almost all people I met wished they could enjoy the Freedom available in America. The Soros and Obama crowd are determined to change that, all the while pretending that if you maintain borders you are a racist.
Sessions succumbed weakly to vacuous and counterfeit accusations promulgated by a corrupt media. Jeff Sessions is a solid, intelligent, but unassuming man, too virtuous to fight in the dark and sick trenches that socialists are ready, willing and able to drag people through.
The Administration should have stood firm and taken to task any Republicans who didn’t attack the preposterous accusations. It should have publicly impugned anyone not in support of Jeff Sessions.
Republicans have historically and consistently been failures in the realm of PR and marketing. Today they have a leader in President Trump who could solidify and deepen their support nationally. Every Republican should get some PR training and should be made to understand why there is such a thing as a “sound bite”. Instead what we have are mostly independent egos flapping their lips into the nearest microphone, without cohesive objective, or commission.
They didn’t learn from eight years of a consistently lying President. They didn’t learn from observing an Administration which used the bureaucracy as its own private army to decimate the opposition as evidenced by the IRS scandal. They didn’t learn from an Eric Holder who helped Obama stomp all over the Constitution and who launched such corrupt programs as Fast and Furious which resulted in the death of Americans.
President Trump should stop thinking that from Obama on down the line of socialists any of them might ever be his friends, or support him, or provide him intelligent advice. Washington is a vast nest of vipers and scorpions. Dealing with this breeding ground of hateful subversives is much different from the world President Trump has know for seventy years.
He should remind himself that nothing is ever as it seems.
Although he has surrounded himself with experienced and intelligent people, the President’s Chair is the most lonely place in the Nation and the glad-handers are all wielding daggers. He should launch at broad, take-no-prisoners investigation into the leaks he has suffered and into the thousands of Obama staffers still in position. Go after them hard and get them to talk. And make it ALL very public.
The stain of corruption that Obama has left behind throughout the government bureaucracy must be taken seriously, or the next four years will be a daily barrage of distracting and attention diverting insanity the anarchists, led by the Community-Organizer-In-Chief, will dispense. They are waging war.
A constituent of the vast baby boomer generation with a career which has been fortunate to know the ponderous corporate worlds, as well as the intimately pressurized, and invigorating entrepreneurial domains of high tech and venture capital, I have harvested my share of mistakes meandering through corridors of enterprise from Silicon Valley, to London and endless, colourful, sometimes praetorian points in between. The voyage has provided an abundance of fodder for a pen yielding to an inquisitive keyboard, a foraging mind, and a passionate spirit.
Whether political or business or social or economic or personal, is it not all political? It is a privilege to write, and an even greater privilege to be read by anyone, and sometimes with the wind at my back the writing may occasionally be legible. I do not write to invite scorn, nor to invite respect, but if I get really lucky the writing can stimulate thinking. I also write for the very selfish purpose of animating my own processes, and engaging the best of what life offers. Above all, whether biting fire or swatting shadows, I am grateful to be gifted the freedom to write and publish whatever flows down to the keyboard. To all those who enabled this freedom, and to all those standing guard to preserve it, I am indebted.
