The Ranting Patriot

California.  Land of the Progressive. Land of the One-percenter. Land of the Trump Hater. Land of Highest State Income Taxes. Land of the Highest State Debt. Land of the Highest Homeless rate. Land of the 4th Highest Income Equality. California is like a bad Irwin Allen movie - which is saying something as far as disasters go. And now they are in the news again as President Trump filed suit against California's new emission requirements - lower than Federal requirements for automakers - claiming California does not have "... the authority to set its own fuel economy standards as well as emission standards for greenhouse gases." Car companies, including Chrysler, GM, Toyota and others, stand with President Trump.   I think the easiest way to handle the situation is for the car companies to grow a pair and tell California Socialist Democrats to "Bite me!" Simple. What exactly would California do if all the car companies said, "F...

biased adjective :  having or showing a bias:   having or showing an unfair  [emphasis added] tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better or worse than others At what point do those on the Left show some stones and admit what the world knows -  "We hate President Trump because he beat our God Queen Hillary Clinton." I mean, honestly, isn't that what this all comes down to?  All the media and politically manufactured "scandals", "controversies" and "bombshells"?  All the vitriol, lies investigations and constant, 24-7 attacks upon a duly-elected President who is - get this - actually following through on his campaign promises? It's insanity.  It's vicious.  It's malicious.   The economy?  Well, that was all Obama!  Trump is just riding on Obama's coattails!  Record low Unemployment?  It was already coming down under Obama!  Trump is riding on Obama's coat...

All b.s. aside, and just so we are crystal clear,  this attempted impeachment of a duly elected and lawfully sitting President isn't an aberration from the Progressives.  It's not out of left-field.  It's not a rarity when it comes to the Dem's hatred of those who fight against their progressive agenda. It's important you fathom the depths of the Lefts frothing contempt of anything that stands in the way of their game-plan to turn this country into a globalist loving, socialist hellhole, at any cost... The Democrats have filed "Articles of Impeachment" against five of the last six Republican Presidents. Though these investigations were partisan and went nowhere (w ith the noted exception of Nixon) , it doesn't exclude the fact that except for President Ford - who was in office for just 2.5 years - every Republican President since Eisenhower has had Articles of Impeachment filed against them. Time and taxpayer money wasted on frivolous, petty a...

Since Donald Trump threw his hat into the political ring, the Left has been on a mission to tear him down (and apart) at any cost.    From Russia, Russia, Russia, to Stormy Daniels, to General Flynn, to firing Comey, to firing Sessions, to SCOTUS picks Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, to the name-calling (racist, bigot, misogynist, xenophobic, etc,) to collusion and obstruction, the Left has been firing at him from the get-go.   Spygate?  Bang!  Pardon Joe Arpaio?  Bang!  Immigration Detention Centers? Bang! BANG!  Trump Tower meeting?  Boom!  Recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel? BANG! Rat-a-tat-tat!  Tariffs?  <whistling sound overhead> KABOOM!  Pulling out of the Climate Accords?  BOOM!  Bang!  And the closer we get to November 2020, the worse it gets.  It's no longer scattershot.  It's no longer individual snipers taking potshots from the treeline.  This is now a...

The Washington Post "broke" this non-story with these words... " Trump's interaction with a foreign government leader included a promise that was regarded as so troubling, that it prompted a whistleblower to go to the IG (Inspector General)." While Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) immediately jumped on the bandwagon, telling reporters the transcript "is far more damning than I and others had imagined" while accusing President Trump of engaging in a "classic mafia-like shakedown of a foreign leader." Now read Trump's 5-page Ukraine phone call Transcript HERE and ask yourself if anything like that even remotely happened? Ask yourself if the MSM is misleading Americans? Let's face it...there is nothing there. Absolutely nothing. The President asked for cooperation in investigating Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. He did not ask for anything in return. And for those apoplectic "Never Trumpers" who are in full Trump Derangeme...

To all the high-minded, sanctimonious, condescending progressives who have nothing better to do than act like pompous, self-appointed, social justice police, please take your "I'm offended" act somewhere else. I'm tired of you. I'm tired of you being offended "for" me, by things that don't offend me at all. I'm tired of you acting as though you are my "moral compass," when you are nothing more than a self-important, "fifteen-minutes-of-fame" wannabe. I'm tired of you preening for the cameras, thinking you are a better person than the rest of us because you are "woke," while seeing us - the clueless populace - as needing the guidance of your gentle hand while at the same time attempting to oppress us with the hammer of your narcissistic, moral wrath. There are far more pressing concerns to deal with, without injecting fake racism charges against people who are not racists, who were dressing ...

This is what happens when you sit around and let your mind wander.  If you have any other suggestions on how to fix congress, leave them in the comments. Any entity receiving taxpayer funding of any kind (including companies receiving tax breaks) is barred from donating to or accepting donations from any political fund. e.g., Planned Parenthood Any tax-exempt entity is barred from donating to or accepting donations from any political fund. e.g., Religious entities, etc. Congressional salary raises may only be granted by the citizenry through a referendum placed on the ballot every two years.  The ballot would include the current salary of Legislators. Congress shall pass no laws from which they are exempt. Congress shall not pay into nor receive a government-funded pension or healthcare. In the interest of transparency, any Bill presented in Congress must list any and all persons and or entities involved in the conception of , and or writing of said Bill , e.g., Lobb...
