Sadly, it just doesn′t end with merely the Establishment Media, which has gone totally deranged in their hatred of President Donald Trump. I saw The Daily Caller run a story about how Ann Coulter is losing faith in Trump. Seems that she is growing weary over the building of ′The Wall′ along the Mexican border. I have said it before and I′ll keep on saying it, ″Trust In Trump!″ Poor Ann just doesn′t ′get it′. Her lack of faith is due to her lack of knowledge in the discipline of Trump Fu. The greatest martial art of the 21st Century!

As an Abbot and disciple of Trump Fu, I am reminded of the old Shaolin saying, ″It is the impatient squirrel who goes nuts rather than gathering them.″ In terms of Trump Fu, President Donald Trump has already built The Wall! He has created it in our minds. The idea of The Wall exists, therefore it does exist. Just look at the reality. We have already seen a drop of over 70% in illegal border crossings! Along the Florida coast, the number of aliens trying to use boats to enter our country has dropped to ZERO!

Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Mika & Joe, and the liars at the Washington Post just don′t get it at all. I would like to think that it is due to the simple fact that none of them can pee on a fire from a distance. That they have all just wussed out and are lost. However, I suspect that they are angry, their hearts filled with hatred. Last night, Tucker Carlson on Fox News perhaps put it best that The Media are afflicted with blinding rage. They refuse to see anything positive.

I see plenty of positive things in the Trump administration. Just yesterday, we had yet more new records on Wall Street. Since Trump′s election, the Russell 2000 index has increased some 17%! We haven′t even had the tax cuts yet! Just wait till all of that happens! As a another Shaolin saying goes, ″The sheepskin is good for holding water, but is delightful when holding wine.″ Once again, we have more examples of Trump Fu at work. Thoughts moving from the subconscious to the conscious, then taking physical form, physical reality.

Just look at the latest dribble from Barack Obama. He now claims that not bombing Syria after they used chemical weapons to kill civilians was brave and courageous. That is plain insanity! If Obama had his way, FDR would have let Germany and Japan conquer the whole world. Trump Fu is action! President Trump acted, swiftly and decisively with his cruise missile technique and the Tomahawk Palm method. Trump then exercised his MOAB Punch against ISIS, blasting them to smithereens.

All the fools at ″Morning Joe and the Washington Post have to counter Trump Fu are lies. Fake News. Others, like Ann Coulter and Michael Savage, suffer from a lack of faith. Mostly, I suspect, because success by President Donald Trump will hurt their business of writing books about how bad things are. For myself, I will be happy when Trump Makes America Great Again! I will go on practicing and improving my skills in Trump Fu, such as the Sean Spicer Podium Grip. Hopefully, finding devoted disciples whom also wish to learn and become enlightened in the ways of Trump Fu. As long as there are Liberals, Socialists, there will always be a threat of Liberty. To Freedom. There will always be a need for Trump Fu to fight Evil and to keep us free and safe.

Played by the recently deceased actor, Tim Pigott-Smith, Charles goes half mad after his mother dies. All of his previous foibles, his aloofness, insecurities and other shortcomings, are all magnified. He even starts seeing the ghost of his first wife, Princess Diana, lurking about Buckingham Palace. Directed by Rupert Goold, the BBC production of the video play follows suit with the live stage version, with the dialog in ′blank verse′, a.k.a. Shakespearean prose. You almost get the feeling that you are watching a modern version of ″Richard III″ or some other dark history by ′The Bard′.

I have to give this one two thumbs up! For all of the daily nonsense we watch on cable news of the goings on in Washington, when it comes to political intrigue and back stabbing, nobody does it better than the British! Perhaps that is the charm of Monarchy? The fact that you can forget about political parties as enemies, you have to worry more about your own blood relations trying to steal your power along with ′The Crown′. Coup d′etats are done just as easily with a dagger or a vial of poison as they are with an army of rebels.

One would think that after an unruly press caused the death of Diana, as well as fill pages of the tabloids with royal gossip, that Charles might favor some sensible restrictions on what the press can say and show. But, nope! Charles is a modern Liberal. He even believes in polling data, which makes he think that half of the country supports his position. Oh, how wrong he is on that score! The moment he challenges the power of Parliament, the gloves come off. Parliament tries to pass another law ending the need for Royal Ascendency, the written consent and approval by the reigning monarch for all new laws. But Charles will have none of that and orders Parliament to be dissolved!

The last English king who tried that was Charles I. His actions led to the English Civil War and his own beheading on January 30, 1649. That came after a bloody rebellion between what came known to be the Royalists and the Roundhats. The Roundhats were essentially Protestant factions, namely the Puritans and Calvinists, fighting on behalf of Parliament and led by Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell won, obviously, resulting in Charles I to be tried and convicted by Parliament of treason. Namely conspiring with Catholic Spain and Ireland against Protestant England. For about 19 years, Cromwell ruled over England, some say as a dictator, making the island nation a republic for a short time. Charles II, son of the dead king, lost his battle to remove Cromwell and retake England. However, while in exile, Charles II was invited back to rule following Cromwell′s death.

In the play and film version of ″King Charles III″, it is Prince William, spurred on by his wife, Princess Katherine, who deposes his father and restores Parliament. This followed a period of chaos with tens of thousands of protesters rioting across England, including besieging Buckingham Palace. At one point, Charles counters the protesters with the British Army, including parking a tank by the front gates with its gun pointed at the protesters. What I found most amusing about this whole plot line is that what we have here is a case of Absolute Monarchy versus Fascism. The People apparently prefer Fascism as does apparently William and Kate. Even Prince Harry sides with his brother against Daddy.

In the end, Charles abdicates ′The Throne′, and, as things settle down, William and Kate are crowned as the new King and Queen of England. Just as the Archbishop of Canterbury is about to place the crown on William′s head, Charles advances and takes the crown, holding it for a moment before placing it himself on his son′s noggin. Then, Charles runs off to sulk. LOL! ″King Charles III″ is an interesting piece of fiction from the BBC. I have to wonder if they are laying the groundwork for William to skip over his father to the throne? This is a scenario that many ′Royal Watchers′ have been proposing for years.

Understanding the political implications of such fiction is not new in England. Recently, I discussed with one of my nurses about how Shakespeare fiddled with history in his play, ″Richard III″. We see this in the books by Philippa Gregory and BBC TV mini-series, ″The White Queen″. The Starz Network recently began airing the sequel, ″The White Princess″.

In Gregory′s novels, Richard III is not the blood-thirsty, bad guy Shakespeare had him be. Richard actually was very loyal to his brother, King Edward IV, far more so than his other brother George. It was George who plots to overthrow Edward and later even hires a sorcerer to speed an early death. But there is a very simple political reason why Shakespeare paints Richard so darkly. The reigning monarch of the day was Elizabeth I, and she was quite ruthless when it came to beheading any and all critics. So Shakespeare makes Richard out to be an extreme villain, to be defeated by Elizabeth′s grandfather, Henry Tudor. In truth, the Tudors were far from saintly, but if William Shakespeare wanted to keep his head on his shoulders, he had to make them thus.

One of the reasons why I am taking the time to write about the Masterpiece Theater presentation of the BBC film, ″King Charles III″ on PBS last night is because of the power of Media over our society. I really have to wonder if the BBC is meddling with the UK monarchy? Last week, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Phillip, husband to Queen Elizabeth II, is stepping down from his royal duties due to health reasons. The Queen just turned 90 recently as well, and also had some health issues since last Christmas. The inevitable is coming. At some point, British people are going to go through a royal change, something they have not had to deal with for over 60 years since Elizabeth II became Queen in 1953.

The impact of the live stage production of ″King Charles III″, which has been in London theaters since 2011, has actually been quite profound. Now that the BBC film version has aired in both the UK and in America, there will be a lot of talk about what will happen when Queen Elizabeth II passes from this mortal world. How will it effect our alliances? The world economy? The remaining political associations of the Commonwealth, all of whom we Americans also have alliances with? While Prince Charles is the next in line, he is not all that popular within the UK. His brother, Prince Andrew, is still kicking around, too. Then we have the next generation of William and Harry, whom the people seem much more enamored with. The foolish ′experts′ who bellyache about how our Electoral College system is archaic have no idea how lucky we are. Even in a worse case scenario, we only have to deal with a particular president for 8 years. Try dealing with a crazy king or queen for 50, 60 years! Or replacing a good one who lasted for decades. Many people will rue and curse the day when Nature takes it′s course.

The fun begins at 11am Eastern on El Rey, starting off with the film, ″Come Drink With Me″. Next follows, ″Golden Swallows″, then ″The 14 Amazons″, ″Clan of Amazons″, ″Executioners of Shaolin″ and ends with ″Clan of the White Lotus″. Now THAT is entertainment! Wholesome, clean fun for the whole family.

El Rey Network has been a lifeboat for me of late, especially in the mornings. I hardly ever watch the 6am cable news shows any more, as they all suck! ″Morning Joe″ is even worse now that the dummies on CNN. As for ″Fox & Friends″, I usually watch the early version at 5am to see what the headlines for the day are. At 6am, El Rey airs two Kung Fu movies every week day. True, I might only watch the first one for a bit, but I usually DVR the rest to watch later in the day. I′m so disappointed with Eric Bolling′s new show at 5pm on Fox News, I time my DVR playback accordingly. I don′t know who Eboni K. Williams is, other than she is some defense lawyer, but Katharine ′Kat′ Timpf is simply awful! She′s some ′Never Trump′-er who got her start on FNC through Greg ′Cuckfeld′ Gutfeld.

For those of you have are not aware of El Rey, they offer much in the way of ′Grindhouse′ style action films. During the day, they run a different series of classic TV shows like ″Knight Rider″ and ″Air Wolf″. In the evening the blood starts flowing with action classics like ″Machete″ or horror flicks like ″House of 1,000 Corpses″. I almost wish I had one of those old drive-in speakers hooked up to my TV for that authentic, tinny, scratchy sound.

So give mom what she really needs. The Mothers Day 2017 ′Kick Ass Kung Fu Mama Marathon″ on the El Rey Network. I just love those Kung Fu movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, produced by the Shaw Brothers. Recently, I have mastered the 7th level of Flying Squirrel Kung Fu, enabling me to talk out of synch and in the tone of those old dudes with the long white beards and whiskers who tell their opponents, ″My Tiger Kung Fu is better than yours!″ So will you watch some emasculating movie on Ovation or OWN? Or will you check out hot women beating the crap out of whole armies?

Another lie spread by the fake news reporters at the Washington Post was that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to resign if the White House did not ′clean up the time line′ concerning the Comey firing. When asked directly by a reporter, Rosenstein denied that he ever made such a threat. Meanwhile, the Fake News Media is making what mileage they can by twisting the words of President Trump during an interview with NBC News host Lester Holt. President Trump said that the decision to fire James Comey was wholly his own. Umm, news flash! That is the President′s job! Sure, others can make recommendations, but ultimately its is the person in ′The Big Chair′ who makes the final call.

The utter hysteria we see everyday from the Fake News Media proves that they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Any story, no matter how erroneous or how far they have to stretch and twist The Truth, is suddenly some major scandal equal to that of Watergate. The Media would just love to see President Trump resign and run out of the White House. Of course, during the previous eight years while Barack Obama was bending and twisting the Constitution with some real scandals and crimes were totally ignored. Selling guns to Mexican drug cartels? Who cares? Ignoring pleas for more security to protect our ambassador in Libya? Not a problem! Handing over hundreds of millions of dollars in cash to a terrorist state? Oh well!

I haven′t even brought up how over 4 million people have been butchered in the Congo during Obama′s 8 years without so much as a single story in the American Media. Or of all of the graft and corruption stealing millions from Haitians by the Clinton Foundation and their pals with the blessing of the Obama administration. One, small, Haitian newspaper published in Florida covered that story. But the rest of The Media turned a blind eye to the faults of Obama. Even as Aetna and other insurance companies abandon Obamacare exchanges, somehow its all the Republicans fault that Obama′s signature legacy item is a failure.

I am not surprised by any of this, though I am disgusted. The Fake News Media hates President Donald Trump with a passion that goes well beyond derangement. They are absolutely insane! They will say anything to throw dirt at Trump. They trot out stories from the Washington Post or the New York Times as the ′paper of record′, claiming they have umpteen ′anonymous′ sources to their ′facts′. Usually, within 48 hours, those ′facts′ all turn out to be totally wrong! Even Fox News cannot be trusted much of the time. I suppose in a week or two there will be something else to complain about. Lets face it, even many of the hypocrites in the Democratic Party weren′t too happy with James Comey and probably privately cheered President Trump firing him. Maybe even the ′love birds′ Mika and Joe′, at MSNBC are secretly happy to see Comey gone?

While idiot, partisan politicians and Media types express outrage over the decision by President Trump, claiming this is some ′Nixonian′ move due to the Russian collusion investigation, Comey got what he deserved. He bungled the FBI probe into the Hillary Clinton email scandal, granting her extraordinary favors which no ′regular′ citizen would have received. Then Comey assumed the authority of Attorney General himself in his July 5 statement on the probe. He claimed later that he did so because A.G. Loretta Lynch had compromised herself after meeting with Bill Clinton in her plane on the tarmac in Phoenix, AZ. Even last week, Comey told Capitol Hill that he would do the same all over again.

James Comey politicized the FBI to a degree we have not seen since the days of J. Edgar Hoover. He basically got too big for his britches. He is a perfect example of we need to #DrainTheSwamp. When non-elected officials exceed their authority, it endangers our Constitution and our entire system of self-government. Comey was literally beginning to act as if he were his own branch of government, with powers equal to that of the Presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court. As FBI Director, his job is to carry out the orders of the Attorney General and oversee investigations of criminal acts. When asked last week during hearings before the House and Senate, Comey refused to acknowledge if the FBI was even looking into the leaking of classified material.

There have been many reports in The Media that morale within the FBI has been quite low since Comey became director. Indeed, the ′back-story′ as to why James Comey re-opened the Clinton email probe late last October was due to rumors that the FBI′s New York office was about to revolt and go public about the probe and the connection with Huma Abedin′s husband, Anthony Weiner. Last week when Comey testified in the Congressional hearings, we learned that a large number of emails, including many classified documents, were sent by Huma to the laptop which Weiner had access to.

Even now, we are still finding more of those missing Clinton emails thanks to Judicial Watch. If any candidate for president, or government official, was subject to potential blackmail by the Russians or other foreign powers, it was Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin. Whatever Michael Flynn and other former Trump campaign aides had going on is small potatoes in comparison. Comey′s excuse for ending the email probe in July was based on a mistaken understanding of The Law, compounded by his assumption that it could not be prosecuted.

Much of The Media is making hay about how ′Candidate′ Trump praised Comey last year and now President Trump fires him today over the very same actions. Well, why aren′t they asking why Democrats like Sen. Chucky Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi reacting differently now? Last year, they wanted James Comey fired. For Trump, the situation changed. He wasn′t responsible during the campaign for the nation or its government. Now he is! His perspective is different. Some say he should have fired Comey right after being inaugurated. Well, look how long it has taken to get cabinet members and others confirmed. While Jeff Sessions is the head of the Justice Department, it is actually the office of Deputy Attorney General who runs things on a day-to-day basis. Rod Rosenstein was just confirmed about 9 working days ago.

I suspect that Rosenstein made his recommendation not only after reviewing material himself, but he probably has had a meeting with the Inspector General for the Justice Department, who is currently reviewing the actions by both James Comey and Loretta Lynch. It is my hunch that the IG convinced Rosenstein that both Comey and Lynch bungled their jobs. Lynch is already gone, so Comey was had to be removed next. The IG′s report is due shortly, possibly next week. When it is released, I would bet the farm that it will not be very pretty for either Comey or Lynch. I′ll add to that the FBI Deputy Director, Andrew McCabe, too. The top echelons of the FBI had become too politicized, too partisan.

There is nothing unusual, nor ′Nixonian′ about President Donald Trump firing James Comey as Director of the FBI yesterday. The ′timing′ was not based on anything to do with the current investigation into possible Russian meddling into the 2016 elections. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein only took office two weeks ago and as part of his job he reviewed the actions by the FBI and the Justice Department. Rosenstein determined that Comey exceeded his authority on more than one occasion, making him subject to dismissal. The motivation for Comey being fired was not to cover-up anything, it is meant to restore and rebuild the integrity and independence of the FBI. More importantly, to restore the principle that all citizens are treated equally under The Law. No special privileges or considerations for an elite few.

I watched some of the hearings in between my usual TV viewing routine. I have to say it was a rather dull affair, if not a total waste of time. Most of the questions of actual importance could not be answered during this ′Open Hearing′ session by either Yates or Clapper. Some questions they couldn′t answer at all, either because they claim they didn′t know or that there was an ongoing investigation.

After their testimony, as well as that of James Comey last week, it seems to me that there is little evidence of any actual collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. That Russia may have tried to influence the outcome is possible, but that is par for the course. They′ve been trying to influence our elections for decades. Given voter responses in exit polls as to why they voted one way or the other, the Russians wasted their time and money. The election outcome was based on what the actual candidates did, or did not do.

As for the whole thing with Michael Flynn, much of The Media is making a big deal about how Barack Obama apparently ′warned′ Donald Trump about Flynn during a phone call shortly after the election. Naturally, Trump did not care about Obama′s opinion about Flynn, since Flynn was critical of how Obama was running the War on Terrorism. Trump agreed with Flynn on that score. On Sally Yates, it does seem a rather odd coincidence that within days after she talked with the White House about Flynn, the Washington Post was leaked a story about it.

Here we are some 7 months after the election and there is no evidence of Russia colluding with the Trump campaign. The FBI, the Justice Department and much of our intelligence apparatus had been looking into this at least since last June or July. The only criminal activity connected to any of this is the leaking of unmasked names from intelligence reports, as well as summaries of the reports, themselves. Clearly committed by members of the Obama administration, or by enthusiastic supporters of Hillary Clinton or Obama within said agencies.

Susan Rice, whom was one of several people who was responsible for some of the unmasking of names is refusing to voluntarily testify before Congress. We have recently learned that in 2016, well over 2,000 requests for unmasking of names occurred compared to only 650 in 2015. There appears to have been more interest in investigating the Trump campaign than there was with the whole use of a private email system by Hillary Clinton and the mishandling of classified material. At worse, Michael Flynn might have lied to the FBI when questioned. However, when the FBI questioned Hillary, they didn′t even keep a transcript. Clinton received undue leniency by the FBI, something which Flynn did not get.

The bottom line is simple. Sally Yates and James Clapper are covering their own butts, as well as those of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Also, doing whatever they can to cast doubt and innuendo upon the Donald Trump administration. We know from the hearings about how the NSA eavesdropped on 300 Million Americans that James Clapper lied to Congress. So far, nobody is prosecuting him for that felony. Nor is anybody planning to prosecute Hillary Clinton for all of the violations of security procedures she committed. This whole thing about Michael Flynn stinks as much as the old witch hunt against Scooter Libby did. I hope that President Trump will exercise justice better than George W. Bush and grant Flynn clemency should Flynn be tried and found guilty of a minor mistake.
