President Trump has done it again—causing even more controversy.  One must understand that in any controversy the truth lies within.  I watched the entire press conference yesterday and could not leave it for one moment.  I was utterly compelled to remain watching, because I wanted to hear what President Trump was going to say next.  All the network news agencies and most of the mainstream cable outlets were beside themselves with outrage over this epic press conference.  I believe that Obama and company have spoiled the press, that has morphed into a pathetic group of “cry babies”.

President Trump is playing hardball and most of the general media just cannot get over playing “softball” over the past 8 years.  I have a very short message for the media… “Get over it!”  President Trump was not only a serious candidate, but is also proving just how formidable and tireless he is working for the American People.

I believe the media is being over critical and needs to focus more about what is being accomplished, but it seems they have sided with the Demoncrats, throwing out all kinds of “stumbling blocks” in the way and needs to be more open-minded to President Trump’s “off the wall” style and celebrate the fact that this president is not going to allow anyone or group use him as a doormat.  The media needs to pay more attention to the pressing issues and job performance of those who are serving in this present administration and their respective offices, for which they are all well qualified.  Yes, there is a degree of fumbling, stumbling and regrouping from a political standpoint, but these people are more business-like and politics is merely “office gossip”.  

President Trump does not deserve the piss-poor treatment his is receiving from both the press and the Demoncrats.  President Trump aptly stated he “inherited a mess” and is spending quite a bit of time cleaning it up.  It is quite apparent many people including the media, were comfortable with that “mess” for 8 years.  Any competent commander is always concerned about the condition of his ship and he morale of his crew.  President Trump is no different, who has no fear of storms when they arrive and rides those storms with unswerving confidence.

Those on Capitol Hill have one basic complaint—they are doing all they can just to keep up with President Trump’s pace.  Forget about the Demoncrats; they complain about everything; dragging their feet over frivolous issues with President Trump’s choices for empty cabinet positions.  I have never witnessed more overnighters by any party during my adult lifetime of 45 years.  There have been 3 overnight confirmation hearings just in the past 2 weeks.  The real problem is the bitterness of the Demoncrats, no matter how one may slice it… it shows!  They have only themselves to blame, for their lack of substance and Hillary never had any focus on the issues, who did not much more than bad mouth candidate Trump at every turn.

In general, the American People are quite ignorant, but not stupid.  The electorate has had enough of the political posturing and the dramatic proof was overtly displayed at every Trump rally—and the fun never stops—President Trump is going to attend a third rally since his inauguration, but not without first making a stop in South Carolina, for a visit to a Boeing plant to view their newest plane and encourage all those in attendance.  It is my understanding that this is another Boeing gamble since the introduction of their Boeing 747 back in the early 70’s.  The test pilot of that first 747 did something that would be considered quite risky for such a huge aircraft, but apparently the pilot had every confidence to do a “victory roll” for all the spectators on the ground to view.  I do not expect such a display to take place for this new 787-10 and it is something of a gamble for a rather large aircraft, by employing carbon fiber for the entire plane, which is a 10 percent weigh savings over the traditional aluminum.

I am not alone in my assessment of all bureaucracies that have morphed into a forth branch of our government, for which a contributor to “The Weekly Standard” so aptly stated, but if you recall, I said it here first and previously in my book titled, “What Difference Does It Make?!”  In view of our bureaucracies morphing into a forth branch of government—this has been fermenting in my mind for several years and I did specifically address this paradigm in my book, mainly to point out the true cause of both world wars.  On the surface, such a statement might be considered a non-sequitur, but I did directly tie them together.  For every effect there is a cause, but not the causes recorded in your school textbooks and this is also addressed in a prior blog.

I am rather sorely disappointed about the lack of feedback from this blog I have been writing for the past 3 months.  I also made such a statement in my book, inviting comment.  Okay, I can understand that one might be rather embarrassed to publicly comment; so here is my email address; mark.debarbieri@gmail.com and put "blog" in the subject line.
