The Misdirect…

by MyBaconPress

I’ve seen several op-eds (always op-eds, so…no facts required) suggesting how horrible it is that the Russians managed to influence the American “election”.  I think it’s a distraction, a misdirect, brought to you by the DNC as part of their multi-pronged effort to pretend they didn’t manipulate the primary with disastrous results.

The part we’re not supposed to think about?  How easy it was for the Russians to find so much damning evidence on Hillary and her supporters.  It’s all, “Look what the Russians did” and absolutely NO “Look what Hillary did”, “Look what the DNC did”, or “Look what Podesta did”.  (See, it’s three scandals centered around emails, not ONE “email scandal”…)

They’re basically telling you that if someone brings you evidence that your partner is cheating, you should choose to ignore it because you don’t like the guy who tells you.  It’s all about ‘Ignore the message, kill the messenger’!

The DNC should not have intervened.  Their job is to facilitate, not make the choice.  They made the choice and installed a flawed, vulnerable candidate absolutely reviled by a large segment of our county…

But I’ll tell you this: The more I hear about the incoming misadministration, the more I’m hoping for Jill Stein’s recount effort to succeed…

Acting President Pence?

by MyBaconPress

Do these three pieces of information fit together?

I’ve seen stories here and there the last few days suggesting that Melania won’t be moving into the White House anytime soon and that even the Donald only plans to be there part-time…

There was a story from Slate during the campaign that the Trump camp contacted a John Kasich advisor to see if Kasich was interested in being Trump’s VP.  The caller, reportedly Donald, Jr., told the advisor that Trump’s VP would be in charge of domestic AND foreign policy.  The advisor asked what Trump would be doing.  “Making America great again”, was the answer.

Now, he’s not even attending intelligence briefings.  Apparently, he’s leaving that to Pence…

So…just connecting dots, here: The President-elect doesn’t intend to be at his primary job site (the White House), isn’t attending intelligence briefings, and we’ve already heard one rumor that he plans to put his VP in charge, are we REALLY preparing for the Mike Pence administration?

I’ll tell you this: I never really believed Trump in his role as bat-shit crazy Republican.  But I believe Pence…

Thoughts on the New (Old) America…

by MyBaconPress

I’ve got to get my predictions out now because, honestly, predictions are FAR less impressive after the events predicted (see Nostradamus…)

I don’t think Trump is going to last very long as President.  So far, everyone (me, included) has been completely wrong about Trump so this is a big risk, predicting something about him.  Still, I think sooner or later, his big, bold “screw convention” style is going to run into some big, bold “conflict of interest” law…

This is not a good thing.  Mike Pence is – if such a thing is possible – worse.  Nobody really knows what Trump thinks about, well anything, really, but we all know about Pence…

My other prediction is that the economy is about to crash in a big way.  For clarity, “about to” is within 24 months of the inauguration.  It’s sort of the conservative way.  So be careful.  Now is NOT the time to take chances, financially.

These next two years will see the end of The New Deal, forcing most Americans back into the Old Deal.  The thing is, most Americans struggled mightily under the Old Deal.  You’ve heard of the social safety net?  Most of that stems directly from the New Deal.

I’ll tell you this: I think many, many Americans are about to have a “come to Jesus” moment in which they begin to understand that the New Deal wasn’t so bad, after all…
