IT IS A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS WHEN YOU CANNOT TRUST THE COPS !

As in the Senior Cops like the FBI and the Justice Department.

In that regard, we are waiting breathlessly for the release of a memo which will chronicle efforts by both of the above to discredit Donald Trump.

As an aside, I can say that even in my home Province and Country the Ontario Provincial Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police..have been caught out from time to time giving succor to one party or the other...usually in support of the Liberals.

The same thing has happened in America especially during the 8 year tenure of Barack Obama.

Permit me to list but a few of the most egregious:


  • The Black Panthers were never charged even though they intimidated voters from voting against Obama in 2008.
  • The Internal Revenue Agency launched a campaign to specifically to audit Conservative Non-Profits Organizations. Again, no one was charged.
  • The ATF's program named Fast and Furious which put guns in the hands of Mexican Drug Cartels resulted in an agent's death. The White House blocked all attempts to get to the bottom of it.
  •  In the Benghazi fiasco Hillary Clinton and her senior officials in the State Department tried to blame it on some obscure video when they knew all along it was a pre-planned terrorist attack and when they had all along turned a deaf ear to their Ambassador's request for greater security.  Again no inquiry.
  • Then there was Hillary's use of insecure servers even though she was the second most powerful person in the Obama Administration.  Again no follow-up.
  • And in regard to Hillary again.  Senior Officials in the Democratic Party were actively working for her against her main competitor Bernie Sanders.  Little was done to rectify this certainly nothing was done for poor Bernie.
  • And to get back to the infamous memo about to be released, it will confirm that it was one and the same Hillary who had her campaign pay the Russians for dirt on Trump.  
And all the while Hillary was accusing Trump of working hand and glove with the Ruskies.  

Why it even led to the Meuller Special Prosecutor's investigation of how Trump et al worked with Russia to turn the last Election in his favour.

It wasn't Trump who was doing it...again it was dear Hillary.

But you would never know it from the Left Wing Media.  Silence.

I have said from the get-go that Trump was not working with the Russians or any other country for that matter in his victory over the Dems.  

But I cannot comprehend how Meuller did not come to realize that early on in his investigation.  He should have at least expanded it to include malfeasance on the part of Hillary and her Campaign Team.

So why is this so important?  Why is it not just interesting reading?

I will tell you why.  A Democracy without the Rule of Law is not worth the Constitution it is written on.

And in order to have Rule of Law, a country needs Impartial Enforcement.

This has been lacking in the United States for too long and if that state of affairs continues, the net effect of that is just too dangerous to contemplate regardless of who calls the White House home.    

As I see it...

IT'S ALL IN THE NAME.

It must be or how else can you explain why the first two candidates out of the gate to replace the hapless Patrick Brown are a brother of a deceased Mayor and a daughter of a former Prime Minister.

Yes, I am speaking of course about Doug Ford and Caroline Mulroney.   The former's brother was Mayor of the City of Toronto... the infamous Rob Ford and, the latter's father is the humble Brian Mulroney.

This is Star Power at its worst and will certainly not work for Ford and hopefully not for C.M. either.

I say hopefully, since Justin Trudeau's status as the offspring of the late great Pierre Elliott certainly launched him into the Prime Ministership of Canada with little more than drama teacher experience. And not much of that.

Ford's biggest problem is that he lacks the charisma possessed by his more popular brother.  He could have benefited from the sympathy vote for his late brother had he run for the leadership in 2014. Now, 4 years later, that sympathy vote has evaporated with time. 

With respect to Caroline whatever happened to earning your stripes so to speak?  It borders on arrogant to think you can just opt for the top job without moving up through the ranks.

She will have her famous father beating the hustings for her but these will be Ontario hustings...not that of Quebec, so his help will be muted at best. Voters here in Ontario still remember that it was the big BM who added greatly to the National Debt during his 8 years in power.  After 14+ years of the Liberals, the last thing we  need are more big spenders.

There is though one man in the PC Ranks who has more than earned his stripes....proprietor of his own Marketing Business, former Mayor of North Bay, Member of the Provincial Legislature since 2011, in recent years Critic for Finance and today the Interim Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party.

I am speaking of course about Vic Fedeli but he has announced he will not seek the permanent leadership.

Pity.

As I see it...
