JOHN BOLTON AGAIN SOUNDING LIKE A BROKEN RECORD…


What is it with some people where their first response is always an adversarial one. There can never be an attempt to negotiate or to compromise without those choosing diplomacy being accused of surrendering. Why is it that so many members of our government, past and present, always see diplomacy as the last option instead of the first option. And love him or hate him it’s because President Trump would rather negotiate than jump immediately to conflict that he’s always accused of surrendering to our enemies and potential enemies. Clearly one must have a very myopic view of things in order to be so cavalier when it comes to choosing conflict over compromise.

Take, for example, John Bolton, another disgruntled former employee of President Trump. It was on Wednesday of these week during an appearance on CNN’s “The Source” claimed that President Trump “has effectively surrendered” to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Host Kaitlan Collins said, “You’ve previously said that that you believe Putin sees Trump as what you described as an easy mark. You were there for their first meeting in Helsinki. What are your expectations for this one?” Bolton rather quickly responded saying, “Well, I don’t have any expectations anymore. I think we know exactly what’s gonna happen.” Really Mr. Bolton?

He went on to say, “President Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin before the negotiations have even begun. The positions that Defense Secretary Hegseth announced in Brussels – which I’m sure I’d be stunned if Trump didn’t convey them directly to Putin in their phone call – constitute terms of a settlement that could’ve been written in the Kremlin. Maybe they were written in the Kremlin and got out in propaganda channels. But it’s a complete reversal of the U.S. And NATO position on a number of issues. For example, up until today, the official American position was that Ukraine should be returned to full sovereignty and territorial integrity, that’s gone."

And he said, “The question of NATO membership as far back as 2008 had been that ultimately Ukraine would become a NATO member, that doesn’t look like that’s around anymore either. Putin has scored a whole series of victories today.” He added, “Putin doesn’t wanna negotiate with Zelensky. He wants to negotiate with Trump because he thinks he’ll get more out of him, and he’s absolutely right.” Yup, President Trump is pushing for peace between Ukraine and Russia, keeping our military out of it, and in so doing is surrendering to Putin. Bolton has lost his friggin’ mind. Yet we have troops in the Middle East, thanks to Biden and Austin, and Trump is the problem?

What kind of reverse universe are we living in? Another globalist voice in the wilderness. Nobody cares what this insignificant boob has to say about anything. We all know what he has to say before he says it. He wants war on a massive scale fought on his behalf by others. The good news is that Bolton's days of influence are very much over except, perhaps, when it comes to the dolts on CNN or MSDNC. They still all greedily lap up everything he says especially if he’s trashing President Trump. You can bet your bottom dollar that Bolton has never spent a single second on the front lines. He wants war because it makes him feel like a ‘big man.'

Bolton is only able to gain airtime with Kaitlan Collins and only then with those poor souls that are likely stuck at an airport or in a hospital bed unable to change the channel. Bolton again demonstrated his incredible disgusting hatred for anyone, and anything, that would stop war and senseless killing. I loved it when President Trump fired him. Bolton is likely more upset about the fact that President Trump gave him the boot and has since taken his security clearance away. This old political harlot needs to quit selling himself to the highest bidder, retire, and go away for good. Bolton just needs to go away. He's a scumbag with delusions of grandeur.

The fact that he has spoken out against President Trump and DOGE tells me that not only is he petty, but that he’s also more than likely corrupt. Another career bureaucrat who loves to send our soldiers to die claims that President Trump trying to end a war that has caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people and cost the U.S. taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars is somehow surrendering to Putin? It was the weak, feckless Biden administration that allowed Putin to invade Ukraine. Bolton is an absolute disgrace. But he’s only one of thousands of bureaucrats who have never been held accountable. But the jig is now up, and he can’t stand it.

This guy has no understanding of nuanced political relationships, it’s all or nothing with him. President Trump isn’t allowed to have a dialogue with an adversary without this moron screaming ‘Orange Man’ bad. I’d rather see some kind of a discussion going on rather than the Biden style of diplomacy where things are only allowed to fester. For those like Bolton it’s whatever it takes, that we’re in for the long haul with regard to Ukraine. Sure, it’s a money pit and death trap. This guy is of a different era where dumb wars were considered good things. America can no longer afford to be the world’s policeman, but those like Bolton refuse to accept that notion.

Bolton is well aware of the fact that Ukraine cannot win this war. Bolton is frustrated that unlike Joey, President Trump will not allow American troops into Ukraine least of all Russia. Bolton knows that Putin has to succeed in annexing areas of Russian influence in Ukraine or he is history. Zelensky knows he cannot defeat Russia he is running out of men and money. Bolton knows Putin will never agree to Ukraine joining NATO but Bolton hates President Trump, so he ignores the truth of the matter and blames President Trump of surrendering to Putin. Such a pathetic little man. Clearly there is nothing this guy won’t say in his effort to malign President Trump.

Bolton is completely irrelevant and so he’s desperate to have someone put a microphone in front of him so he can blather on about the dangers that President Trump represents not only to the country, but the world as well. He’s another war monger who is not happy that President Trump is pushing Ukraine and Russia to cease their confrontation. It doesn’t matter to him that thousands of lives have been lost, or billions of dollars have been wasted. Fools like Bolton are all in when it comes war if it produces profits for weapons manufacturers, and a little for themselves. Trump 1.0 was four years of relative peace and prosperity; we need to get back to that.

JOHN BOLTON, A STAR PLAYER IN THE EFFORT ‘TO GET’ PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!


Ya know, for people who continue to hold themselves in such high regard, and who consider themselves to be so much smarter than the rest of us, you would think that those who continue to come forward to attack President Trump, those who dare to call themselves ‘Republicans,’ would understand that the more they do in their effort to derail his candidacy, the more people will become convinced that everything being perpetrated against President Trump is politically motivated. And yet they persist. While I suppose there will be those who do believe the drivel, does it really matter? Because, for the most part it’s they who already hate President Trump.

Which once again brings me to John Bolton, a man who, I’m embarrassed to say, is someone who I once thought rather highly of. That is until he revealed himself to be something other than what I truly thought he was. And it was as recently as this past Thursday that Bolton once again gave us all another ugly glimpse of his true self. You see, it was during CNN’s ‘special coverage’ of the indictment of President Trump, hosted by none other than ‘Mr. Fake News’ himself, Jake Tapper, that the esteemed Mr. Bolton made the idiotic comment that it was “false” that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is being weaponized against the former president.

Tapper said, “There are a lot of Republicans in Congress railing about two standards of justice. They say when you look at the conduct that Donald Trump has been accused of. Is there any part of you that thinks that it’s true that the Justice Department is being weaponized against Donald Trump for political reasons?” Bolton said, “You know, I’ve been an opponent of the special counsel concept as long as I can remember, and I’m still against it. But in this case, nobody can say the Department of Justice is weaponized. I think the special counsel has proceeded independently.” I can only assume that Bolton must think we’re all pretty stupid. Note to Mr. Bolton, we’re not!

Anyway, Bolton said, “I happen to think that’s not a good thing, constitutionally, but it’s simply false to say the Department of Justice has been weaponized.” He added, “It is possible, and I think seriously open to question, whether Hunter Biden has been treated in a similar way. But as my mother always used to say, two wrongs don’t make a right. You don’t make up for Hunter Biden getting a sweet deal if that’s the fact by letting Donald Trump skate free. You prosecute where the law has been violated.” It’s every one of President Trump’s supposed crimes that have been, and continue to be, completely manufactured! Which bothers Bolton not in the least as the end justifies the means.

Unfortunately, it was upon his arrival in Washington, being a true outsider to the goings on in our nation’s capital, that President Trump was in the rather unenviable position of having to rely on the ‘locals’ when it came to selecting those for his team, those that were familiar with the inner workings of our government. And as an outsider he had no clue when it came to who he could really trust and who he could not. There was no way he could possibly vet them on his own. So, they all took advantage of this fact. He unknowingly relied on other Deep State Republicans to make recommendations to fill key positions in his administration.

He was under the illusion that he could at least trust members of his own party like Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Lindsey Graham, and any number of others. And he was essentially forced to pick from a tainted pool of ‘experts’ when it came to filling key positions within his administration. President Trump was, is, and always has been, a true patriot. And as a man who was already rich upon his arrival to public office, and therefore not in need of using his newfound position as a way to enrich himself, he couldn't be bribed into joining their little swamp club. They didn't like the fact that he was rocking the boat of their precious swamp so he had to go.

And it’s now that we have this very same cadre of ‘Deep State’ weasels crawling out from under their respective rocks to busy themselves in the ongoing effort to continue the persecution of their number one enemy, President Donald J. Trump. Their fear of his return is literally driving them insane. Bolton proved to be someone who thought Donald Trump would do as he, Bolton, wanted. When that proved not to be true, he turned on his boss and has been bitter ever since, doing everything that he could in an attempt at some twisted form of retribution. All he’s really succeeded in doing to reveal himself as a vindictive little man who puts himself above the country.

Finally, sitting presidents are not supposed to directly instruct the DOJ to pursue targets. Especially not their political opponents, and that is exactly what Joey has done and what Bolton seems to be condoning. And so here we have yet another example of how CNN continues to scrape the bottom of the barrel with its revolving door of raving lunatics. This really makes clear just what kind of scum Bolton is, and if he’s saying there is no DOJ interference that’s pretty much a guarantee that there is. That’s how these people operate. John Bolton, a man has zero creditability and a proud card-carrying member of ‘The Swamp.’ Bolton should crawl back under his rock and stay there.

NOW IT’S JOHN BOLTON RUSHING IN TO DEFEND *president ‘CREEPY JOE’ BIDEN…


Please excuse my ignorance, and what some may see as naivete, when I say that there was once upon a time when I was very much a supporter of John Bolton. And it was then that I actually agreed with his tough talk directed at those who were America’s enemies. But it’s been more recently that I have come to recognize the error of my ways. And there is nothing that proves better what a fraud this guy is, and likely has always been, than how he seems to have come out in defense of ‘Creepy Joe’s Afghanistan debacle and instead proceeded to blame it all on…wait for it…DONALD TRUMP. I mean to make such a claim, even in jest, is absolutely ludicrous!

And so it was, as recently as this past Friday, that during a visit there at ‘fake news’ HQ, aka CNN, that Bolton was again provided a platform from which to spew more of his typical anti-Trump pablum when he said that former President Trump’s “mistake” of negotiation with the Taliban was what led to the unfolding chaos in Afghanistan as the United States withdraws. By all means, negotiation is never a good thing, we must always waste resources and manpower in trying to obliterate our adversaries and never even attempt to seek out a peaceful resolution to any conflict, potential or actual. This has always been his mantra and rarely has it been effective. And yet…

So anyway, it was Friday that Bolton said, “I think Biden has been very clear for a long time. He and Trump actually see this exactly the same way. They both wanted to get out. Now, there’s finger-pointing, Biden saying we’re stuck with the Trump deal, Trump saying well, they could have done it differently. Look, the basic mistake that’s playing out here is that Trump negotiated this deal only with the Taliban. There are a lot of mistakes in the deal itself.” And he added, “But the fundamental problem of dealing with this terrorist organization is that the Trump negotiators delegitimized the Afghan government.” He’s simply trying to provide cover for ‘Creepy Joe!’

And it was Bolton who continued by saying, “The government we set up — the government, with all its many, many flaws, had at least some democratic legitimacy, of which Taliban had none.” And he then went on to say, “And by delegitimizing the government, de-recognizing it in effect, we shattered the morale of the Afghan army. The army is saying, well, if the Americans won’t even protect that government, why are we going to end up protecting it?” And he concluded by saying, “Which is why, honestly, nobody should have been surprised that the army collapsed so quickly when Biden announced the final withdrawal.” Again, simply more excuse making.

Look, in truth, ‘Creepy Joe’ kept none of President Trump’s deals on anything, he simply went his own way. And I cannot be the only one who views it as being rather cowardly that they proceed to blame President Trump for the border crisis immediately after they stopped construction on the border wall and proceeded to throw open our southern border. They have blamed President Trump for everything that *president ‘Creepy Joe’ has done wrong, so this drivel now coming from Bolton should come as a surprise to anyone. Also, more than a little dishonest is how they’ve taken credit for the vaccines though, when that too was President Trump’s doing.

And, if I remember correctly, wasn’t it the Democrats who said they wouldn’t trust, nor would they take, any vaccine developed under President Trump. But now they claim that it was all their doing while at the same time making threats about how we must all be vaccinated or else! Democrats are nuts. ‘Creepy Joe’ has been nothing less than a disaster on every level that he could have been, and has done absolutely nothing right since being sworn in. And those who continue to defend him, like those such as Bolton, demonstrate what frauds they truly are and, sadly, likely have always been, making those who once trusted them feel like we were simply made fools of.

Bolton, by making such claims, is clearly demonstrating that there is nothing that he will not say in his effort to remain, in any way, relevant. But it’s not going to work with most. As far as I’m concerned, he’s worse than a loser, he’s a traitor who seems interested in doing nothing other than to put his own petty personal issues above the interests of the nation. So, of course, he’d show up on CNN. And it’s in his attempt to defend ‘Creepy Joe’ that Bolton is simply telling another whopper. ‘Creepy Joe’ publicly repudiated the deal President Trump negotiated with the Taliban back in April. That is why this mess, and the idiotic decision making is all on ‘Creepy Joe.’

‘Creepy Joe’ threw out any and all things President Trump did without any consideration because he thought it would make him look good. The whole purpose here was to make it look like Donald Trump had never been President. And it’s one thing for ‘Creepy Joe’ to dump President Trump’s deal, but to do so and have nothing to replace it with, that’s simply dereliction of duty. And while “Orange Man Bad” seems to continue as being the political battle cry of those on the Left, as we have seen, it’s not much of a foreign policy strategy. Diplomacy involves sitting down with those groups you don’t like and finding common ground and acting like an adult.  

Bolton was, and continues to be, patently incompetent, and is still childishly angry and resentful because he was fired by President Trump. Bolton is now even less in touch then he was when he worked for the Bushes. He is definitely not someone who should continue to be taken seriously. He has been reduced to a joke, and all by his own doing. The retreat from Afghanistan was totally the work of ‘Creepy Joe’ & Co., and any attempt to portray it is anything else should be seen as nothing more than a work of pure political fiction. So I ask you, can our country or, dare I say, the world afford another three and a half years of *president ‘Creepy Joe’ and his team?

As I said, Bolton continues to work so very hard to remain relevant, so hard, in fact, that he was forced to resort to appearing on CNN with its 250,000 viewers a night in order to prove just how irrelevant he still is. We all know, this would be the only Trump plan that ‘Creepy Joe’ would have followed, if indeed he had followed it. We aren’t stupid enough to believe that this ‘Keystone Kop’ plan was cooked up by anyone other than those who comprise the current administration. President Trump did the right thing by choosing to fire this fraud. Bolton has proven himself to be such a disappointment. The time has come for him to simply go away.

BOLTON ‘CHOOSES’ TO MAKE HIS EXIT BY WAY OF THE GUTTER…


Once upon a time I actually thought of myself as being a pretty darn good judge of character.  But if time has shown me anything it’s in that regard my ability has been somewhat haphazard at best.  You see, I once voted for Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney and really, at the time, had no problem with doing so, given the alternative.  Now fast-forward seven or eight years and I find myself wondering what it must have been that I was thinking to have actually done such a thing.  And now I find out that another guy I used to think was a pretty smart guy, John Bolton, now appears to be yet another who was able to quite easily pull the wool over my eyes.  How embarrassing!  

Apparently Bolton, who appears to be nothing more than your average disgruntled employee, is about to release a book that would seem to be nothing more than an attempt on his part to exact a little political revenge in the hopes of torpedoing the president’s chances at re-election.   Excerpts from the book, leaked earlier this week to major American media outlets, were said to expose what was described as being Bolton’s widespread criticism of the president.  Don’t get me wrong, I remain a steadfast fan of the president, but his skill in dealing with what would appear to be numerous Washington backstabbers continues to cause him much unnecessary grief.

And as expected, it was both The Washington Post and the New York Times that wasted precious little time in posting summaries of the book’s contents after the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to block the publication of the book. The 592-page book entitled, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” was initially scheduled for release next Tuesday, June 23.  It was also The Wall Street Journal that released an excerpt of the book, this one regarding conversations the president supposedly had with Chinese President Xi Jinping.   It’s a shame that Bolton waited until now to reveal his true self.  And to think I once trusted this guy.  

Details were leaked from the book about how Bolton didn’t necessarily agree with President Trump’s leadership style amid his conversations with various world leaders.  It also featured conversations with other members of the Trump administration.  No doubt Bolton will work to ramp up his public media profile in the upcoming days to promote the new book.  It’s sad that the respect I once had for Bolton has now been made to completely evaporate.  He’s made himself out to be less of an American patriot and more of a ‘Deep State’ hack, another of those out to get the president simply because it’s the president who seeks to put the concerns of America, first.

In his book, Bolton has apparently accused the president of asking China for help with his election.  Bolton is a disgruntled ass who is bitter only because he couldn't get President Trump to attack countries that Bolton apparently thought were worthy of being attacked. And we’re also to believe that President Trump, who has been at economic war with China since day one, actually asked if they would be kind enough to help him with the upcoming election.  Now I freely admit that I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I’m finding such a claim to be more than a little difficult to swallow.   Bolton, I think, simply got a little carried away with himself.

As far as I’m concerned, Bolton can sell his stinking book to the entire Bush clan, Romney, Cindy and Meghan McCain and to every RINO and totalitarian Democrat in the country! Personally, I'm ashamed of ever having actually given Bolton the benefit of the doubt. And what a pathetic way for Bolton to end his career, but then it’s his choice!  However it is rather sad that he would choose to make his exit from the gutter, but I can only guess that it was more important to him to smear the president to the greatest extent possible as he makes his way to the exit.  Might he be hoping for a position in a Biden administration, not that that is likely to happen.

Also, rumor has it that apparently Bolton has always had the reputation of being rather rough on his underlings as well as being a bit of a butt-shark.  Now he can add his reputation of being a backstabber to his resume.  While Bolton is one of those long suspected of being a member of ‘The Swamp,’ after all he’s certainly been around long enough, with this new book of his, he’s now removed any and all doubt that he is most definitely a true creature of ‘The Swamp.’  Another of those who, because of their over-inflated sense of importance along with rather sizable ego, feel they are far more capable than our president to determine what it is that’s best for America.

To say that I’m deeply disappointed by the actions of Mr. Bolton would, in fact, be an understatement.  I don't know what’s in the book, and frankly I couldn’t care less.  But I most certainly must question the timing of it.  He surely doesn’t need the money, therefore, I can only conclude that he is trying to undermine President Trump, which only serves to expose Bolton as an establishment, ruling elite, deep state, traitor to the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. If he had any class, the memoir would be released after the election, if it had ever been written at all.  And that this is how he chooses to be remembered is truly pretty sick.

If anything, Bolton simply provides us with additional proof of how there are today so very few in government who are worthy of being trusted.  Most of those involved in the running of our country seem only to be out for themselves, which should concern all of us who do still love this country.  And it’s people like Bolton who, because of their ‘my way or the highway’ attitude, tend to encourage getting the country involved in skirmishes which, while they can always come up with a rational sounding justification, we would be far better off if we avoided.  And when their advice is not taken they attempt to imply the country is now in some sort of danger.   

While I would only hope that the book will be a financial disaster for its publisher, Simon and Schuster, if it’s only those on the left who decide to purchase it, it will still likely make them plenty of money.  But I can honestly say that I have no intention of buying the book despite the fact that I’m quite sure it will be available on ‘Amazon’ at what will be cut rate prices if for no other reason that to attempt to get it into as many hands as possible.  And while I’m quite sure that it will be the subject of conversation for weeks to come in the world of ‘fake news,’ I would like to think most intelligent folks will view it for what it is, the raving of a disgruntled employee.    

Finally, the task President Trump chose is incredibly difficult. To get an administration moving in the right direction and staying on the desired path you need a core of dedicated people who you can trust.  And choosing those who have their own personal agenda can result in many unnecessary speed bumps being put in place. Relying on ‘Establishment’ types got the president off to a wobbly start, that's for sure, but it was an olive branch in my estimation.  Winning re-election is what gets peoples’ attention the most in DC, so I'm looking forward to Act 2.  And it is nothing less than imperative that the president win.  A President Biden would be a disaster!
