Why They Hate Him

Why They Hate Him

By Susan Stamper Brown

As the drumbeat to oust President Trump reaches near fever pitch, it is important for all fair-minded Americans to understand if that happens, America as we know it is finished…done.

Late last year, liberals were so close to their goal of destroying America they could almost touch it. They smelled the sweet aroma of victory in the distance, believing Hillary Clinton would carry across the finish line the torch that Barack Obama lit, then use it like a flame thrower to incinerate what remained of American values. They were that close.

And then Donald Trump happened.

Now, media organizations as saturated in leftism as a urine-soaked puppy training pad broadcast non-stop anti-Trump propaganda.

The hypocrisy of the Fourth Estate is astounding.

Commentators inebriated with their mission to take down Trump had zero interest in aggressive “gotcha” journalism when Obama was in office. They covered for the Obama administration’s culture of deceit from beginning to end.

They protected their smooth-talking president when his White House manufactured lies about what really happened in Benghazi and other scandals. They covered for him when Obama repeatedly promised Americans that everyone could keep their doctors and healthcare plans and looked the other way when Obama said there was “not even a smidgeon” of corruption — while an IRS investigation was still in process.

They took their guy’s words at face value when folks like former Secretary of State John Kerry bragged Obama’s administration helped “broker a deal that successfully removed 100% percent of all the chemical weapons from Syria.” Then, it was “mums the word” when Syria later executed a chemical weapons assault on its citizens and it became known the they trusted the same Russia they are now obsessed over to broker the transfer of Syria’s banned weapons to the international community.

Now the media is supposedly “digging for truth about collusion with Russia” while they use the dirt they shovel to cover over that Democrats likely colluded with Ukraine. As left-leaning Politico reported earlier this year: “Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump… they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisors.”

In 2014, a Fox News poll found that 81 percent of Americans believed that Obama lied at least “now and then” on what they interpreted as “important matters.” That is stunning. Regardless, to this day they continue to worship him because he moved them closer to their ideological goalpost.

Obama was a smooth-talking liar who, like them, would love nothing more than to hand over America’s sovereignty to the United Nations. His view that the U.S. Constitution was a “living document” soothed the souls of those who wish to ban free speech and gun rights, and eventually do away with the U.S. Constitution because they view it as an irrelevant racist rag.

The violent protests post-Trump election, show us they hate all things traditionally American, as well as the rule of law, absolute truth, Judeo-Christian values, capitalism, personal achievement, the Ten Commandments and about anything right of left.

And Trump. They hate Trump. Which means he is doing something right. Trump was them, except for the “R” at the end of his name, and he is using their rules to win the game. Something no other Republican was willing to do, although it was necessary to save America. America was on life support and establishment Republicans and “Never Trumpers” were happy to kick the ball down the field a little longer while whistling Dixie. Trump has accomplished more for America and the Republican Party in his first five months than any normal Republican president could do in eight years. Yet, they are still whistling Dixie.

Trump broke through the veil which separated Americans from hearing the truth. His tweets skip over the middleman and land in the laps of Americans, most of whom no longer trust media organizations like CNN as reliable, but as “fake news.”

Trump’s refusal to take part in the left’s political correctness assault against free speech means normal Americans get to hear their president give voice to things many of them think (sans the saltiness) but were afraid to say.

America is again respected globally, thanks to Trump’s alpha male presence and innate leadership on the world stage which commands the respect Obama so severely lacked. Some world leaders may not particularly like Trump, but they cannot help but respect him. They once again recognize America as a leader.

America is coming back. She is on the rise, and we can only hope and pray she stays that way, despite the attacks on many fronts by those who hate him.

Snow Joke: The Gipper Wins One For Flurry On Steamy Day

Snow Joke: The Gipper Wins One For Flurry On Steamy Day
Allowance victory gives Ellis leading trainer Brad Cox eighth win from 15 starters. “He’s rolling. He’s on top of his game everywhere right now,” owner says
HENDERSON, Ky. (Friday, July 21, 2017) — Horse owner Staton Flurry thought it was a good sign when Ellis Park bugler Bret Birkhead started playing “Let It Snow” before the post parade. Flurry, for obvious reasons given his name, has a snowflake emblem on his black and white silks.
So on a steamy afternoon, that was jockey Corey Lanerie with a big snow flake on his chest as he guided The Gipper to victory in Friday’s $41,000 allowance feature. That capped a three-win day for Lanerie, the defending Ellis champion whose 13 victories this meet are four more than 2015 titlist Didiel Osorio.
Asked if wearing a snowflake made it cooler to ride, Lanerie responded, “Absolutely not. Winning does, though.”
Or maybe the real sign of pending victory was that The Gipper was the 8-5 favorite in the field seven and, in addition to having Lanerie, is trained by the red-hot Brad Cox.
It was Cox’s eighth win out of his first 15 starters to not only top the standings in victories but also for purse earnings of $180,131. His win percentage slumped to 50 percent when Cox’s horse in the eighth race finished fourth.
“He’s rolling,” said Flurry, who has 10 horses in training. “He’s on top of his game everywhere right now.”
Cox, a lifelong Louisvillian, might possess country’s fastest-growing stable ranks No. 9 in North America in both wins (106) and purse money ($4.7 million). Cox is on pace to blast by last year’s career-best season, when he won 151 races, with his horses accruing $6.28 million.
“He’s got the numbers and the ammunition and a good team behind him,” Lanerie said. “That builds success.”
This is the first year that Cox has had a division actually stabled at Ellis Park, though he won the 2015 Ellis training title relying on horses from his Churchill Downs base.
“We had a lot of seconds and thirds at Churchill in the spring. Sometimes that equates to wins down the road,” said Cox, The Gipper’s second June 23 at Churchill Downs being a prime example.  “We got off to a good start. Hopefully we can keep it going at Ellis. Ellis has been good to us. We’ve had a good meet there the last couple of summers, and the money is good. We’re excited about what we’ve accomplished so far, and hopefully we’ll continue on.”
Flurry, 27, is from Hot Springs, Ark., where his family’s businesses include owning the parking lots across the street from Oaklawn Park. He’s owned horses since he graduated from college, switching to Cox when his prior trainer didn’t return to Oaklawn for the winter.
The Gipper, a 3-year-old son of First Samurai, was making his first start on turf after having a win, four seconds and a third in nine starts on dirt. He stalked the early pace, getting through on the inside for a 1 1/4-length victory over Zipp On By and jockey Chris Landeros, who edged 12-1 Chargin Storm by a head. The Gipper covered 5 1/2 furlongs on turf in 1:02.79, paying $5.40 to win.
“Last time I rode him, he’d shown a lot of speed previous, so I didn’t ask him to leave there,” Lanerie said. “And he ended up getting too far back with me. So today I asked him a little bit. They out-footed him a little bit going into the turn, so he got a little breather. I tried to ease on out, found no room, so I had to duck back in. He was just the best horse today. Once he got room, it was over.”
Cox also is 15-for-53 at Indiana Grand, including Tiger Moth winning her first stakes in last Saturday’s $100,000 Marie Hulman George. In that race, she defeated Big World, who two starts earlier captured Churchill Downs’ Grade 1 La Troienne Stakes. Tiger Moth’s next start could be Ellis Park’s $100,000, Grade 3 Groupie Doll on Aug. 13.
“It’s a Grade 3. We need to add that to her resume,” Cox said. “She’s already graded stakes-placed. Now we need to make her a graded winner. And in this region, that really is the only option we would have. That makes it attractive.”
Cox finished a close second in the 2015 Mari Hulman George with Call Pat, who in her next start won the mile Groupie Doll, the first of three graded-stakes that mare would win.
“I kind of had that in the back of my mind,” Cox said. “I took that approach with Call Pat. Get her on a winning track, get her going at Indiana. And that race at Indiana was a really solid race. Normally you don’t run in listed (non-graded) $100,000 races and run into Grade 1 winners. That was a very competitive field, and she won by two lengths going away. It was very encouraging.”
Laptops, scholarships for college students: Sunday is College Day at Ellis Park, sponsored by the Kentucky HBPA with an assist from Henderson County business. The Kentucky HBPA, which represents owners and trainers at the state’s five racetracks, will give away via drawing a Dell laptop and case to a full-time college student after every race. In addition, another college student will earn a $1,000 scholarship courtesy the Kentucky HBPA and Henderson County businesses.

THE BIRTHDAY “GIRL” By Jim Redwine

THE BIRTHDAY “GIRL”

My sister is not an antique. She is sometimes cranky, opinionated and usually stuck in the last century. However, she is not an antique.

Those few of you who actually read this column either know Janie or have heard of or from her. She is known for railing against many things, as old people often do, but usually saves her most acerbic wit for her three brothers. As Daddy’s favorite and Mother’s pet Janie could never accept her status as a possible antique.

No, Janie is more like a superannuated coquette with political views that do not gladly suffer fools and opinions which are of the adamantine variety. But an antique, not so fast.

Delores Jane (Redwine) Bartlett cannot be an antique because she still travels to Europe and preaches frequent sermons as a lay minister in several churches. Please be warned if you should be in one of her congregations: she was a college psychology professor and is still in recovery.

My sister may be intelligent, generous and of a happy heart, although she, as other older people, has endured some of life’s bitter slings and arrows. However, she is not an antique, as of yet, because, Gentle Reader, by definition an antique must be at least 100 years old and on July 23rd she will be only 80.

Well, those of you fortunate enough to know Janie and those of us blessed to have her in our family, know what a unique treasure she is. I, of course, as her much younger brother am just glad she’s a lot nearer to being an antique than I am!
