We get a second chance to save our country and support President Trump who won in 2020; but, the Democrats cheated big time. Will they cheat again and deprive our nation and people of its Constitution and freedom, again?

KOMMONSENTSJANE – TO ALL DEMOCRATS – WHO REALLY DIVIDED AMERICA?

Posted on October 4, 2020 by kommonsentsjane

The woman who wrote this lives in Sedona and is a retired lawyer. She writes in simple language as a former Democrat to Democrats in general:

If you haven’t started asking yourselves those questions, maybe you should. As I said, my entire family used to be Democrats, but NOT ONE will ever vote for a Democrat again. They asked themselves the same questions and the answer was clear.

Democrats –

Now I know you don’t like President Trump. That’s a given, SO let’s move on from that.

How about the division of America. Do you really blame Trump for that? How about when NONE of the DEMOCRATS showed up for his inauguration? Don’t you think that started the division? He hadn’t even been president yet, and EXCEPT for Clinton and Obama, not one Democrat showed up. Is that when Trump divided America? Can you imagine if the REPUBLICANS didn’t show up for Obama’s inauguration because they lost? Can you even start to imagine what would have happened?

How about when 19 minutes after Trump was inaugurated, the Washington Post declared the IMPEACHMENT CAMPAIGN has STARTED? Was that when Trump divided America?

How about when Nancy Pelosi ripped up Trump’s state of the union right in front of the world, showing complete disrespect for the President of the United States? Did that bring the country together and is THAT when Trump divided America?

How about when America had to endure 3 years and over 30 million dollars spent on trying to PROVE that Trump only won because of RUSSIAN COLLUSION and NOT because America voted him in. And 17 democrats did EVERYTHING in their power to PROVE that there was Russian Collusion. and came up with ZERO? Was THAT when Trump divided America?

I can’t even start to go over the NEGATIVE PRESS he’s received since his surprise win. Remember, the DONORS, the likes of Bloomberg, who gave 27 million, Tom Steyer who gave 17 million, George Soros who gave 9 million and MANY MORE that gave MULTI-MILLIONS to Hillary, wanted a return on their investment. Do you really think that donors give MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS just because they love Hillary? NO, these weren’t campaign donations, they were INVESTMENTS into what HILLARY had promised them when she became President. They were so sure she would win and they would be SHOWERED with HUGE RETURNS, and when it didn’t happen and they LOST all those millions, they went all out to TAKE TRUMP out of OFFICE by any means possible.

DID YOU KNOW that 90% of the Mainstream media and the corporations that own them, are owned by or run by BIG DEMOCRAT DONORS? You can verify all of that for yourselves. I did. Since the moment Trump won, even before he was inaugurated, the mainstream media’s reporting was 92% negative on Trump, do you know why? It was those big donors that lost their dream of MILLIONS of dollars, on their returns that they were going to receive when Hillary was President and they weren’t going to take that loss lightly. They needed to PUNISH TRUMP and those that VOTED HIM IN.

I’ve said this since the night he was elected. “There is NOTHING the left won’t do to take down our President”, our country and us, no low they won’t go to, to get their power back”, and sadly, we have seen this every single day since his election.

Let me ask you this. Have you ever listened to Trump or appreciated any accomplishment or campaign promises he’s kept, have you ever gone to one of his rallies or have you just closed your mind to anything he does? Please ask yourselves the following questions, if you dare.

What has Joe Biden done for America for the last 47 years that he’s held an office?
What did Joe Biden ever do for BLACKS when HE and Obama were in office?
What has Joe Biden ever done in his entire life to create a private-sector job?
What has Joe Biden done to help the American middle class worker?
Let me also ask you this. Why do you think there are so many people tearing down statues, our burning flag, beating up police officers, disrespecting our founders and hating our country? It comes straight from our SCHOOLS that have slowly been tearing down our history. If there is a teacher out there, please tell me the following:

Do you teach the truth that it was the DEMOCRATS that were the KKK?
That the GRAND LEADER of the KKK was Robert Byrd, who was elected to congress as a DEMOCRAT and served for decades, and that it was Hillary, Bill, and Obama that gave his EULOGY praising him?
That the DEMOCRATS fought the Civil war to KEEP SLAVERY? That the inner-city ghettoes were created by DEMOCRATS to keep control of slaves after they were freed?
That planned parenthood was founded in inner cities to CONTROL the BLACK POPULATION? Is any of this in your history books?

Let me ask you this as well: Can a student speak up when he/she disagrees with a teacher when they say that Trump is a horrible President or the electoral college has to be eliminated? I don’t think so? Well, I know a student that actually happened to. When the teacher said it had to be eliminated because Hillary lost, and he stated the reason it should stay, she ripped him apart and gave the entire class a 5 hour test, and stated it was because he DARED to disagree with her. Is that happening in your schools?

I’m only asking questions. I’d like your answers.

President Trump and his entire family has been vilified, demeaned and disrespected, for one reason and one reason only. HE WON.

Have you noticed the DEMOCRATS only throw tantrums and OBJECT to everything he does and have NEVER ONCE gotten behind him to make America the best it can be? WHY? They can’t afford to get behind him. he would WIN AGAIN, and they can’t let that happen. if he wins again, the Democrat party will be destroyed and they know it.

Did you notice that the “CAGES” the left claimed that Trump built to put Illegal children in, WERE BUILT BY OBAMA for the very purpose of PUTTING ILLEGAL CHILDREN IN? Was THAT all over the news when Obama did it? The very same “CAGES”, but the media was silent!

How about when Trump commuted Roger Stone’s sentence, and was DEMONIZED 24/7 but NOT A WORD when Obama commuted 1,715 inmates, which included 330 that he granted on his last day in office. DID WE EVEN HEAR one WORD about it?

Were there reporters even reporting it. NO! Just look at the difference in the reporting. By the way, since Trump’s been in office he’s commuted 10 people. compare that to Obama. Is that reporting fair?

How about when Biden and Obama allowed the H1N1, the SWINE FLU, to INFECT MILLIONS of Americans before declaring it a health emergency. Was the press losing its minds and calling it the OBAMA FLU AND BLAMING OBAMA and BIDEN for the spread? —— SILENCE!

Compare this to the NEGATIVE COVERAGE that Trump got when, he immediately halted travel from China. Then, in February, Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown and said come on down, or when DeBlasio, in March, said ride the subways and go to Broadway. BUT those same people are blaming Trump for the spread of coronavirus.

A FINAL QUESTION:

What have the DEMOCRATS done to help make America the best, to get behind a president that works tirelessly to care about WE THE PEOPLE instead of using us as political pawns? What have the democrats done for people of color EXCEPT for GIVING ILLEGALS more rights than citizens and having us pay for it?

JUST imagine what this country could accomplish if the Democrats worked with him on the economy, the coronavirus, the inner cities where he’s created opportunity zones, job training etc. When Trump tried to get school choice for inner-city students they ran Betsy Devos out!! The democrats running those inner city schools wanted no part of school choice. Have you ever wondered why it’s cities that have been run, for decades, that have the MOST HOMELESS, the MOST CRIME, the most MURDERS, the worst INNER CITY schools, ARE ALL RUN BY DEMOCRATS?

Again, if you haven’t started asking yourselves those questions, maybe you should. As I said, my entire family used to be Democrats, but NOT ONE will ever vote for a Democrat again. They asked themselves the same questions and the answer was clear.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Merrick Garland’s Remarks at Selma Church – and why they don’t believe Democrats anymore.

Posted on March 4, 2024 by kommonsentsjane

3/3/2024

Humor – just too funny – DID HE MISS MAKING someone a good GRANDPAW?

Compare his misleading comments to what happened there. Shame on him for misleading those people!

Is the AG stating that we don’t need our VOTER ID/drivers license or social security number any longer because they are cumbersome AND GET IN THE WAY and cause DISCRIMINATION?

Glad to hear that – everything is up in the air. When I buy a ticket I don’t need anything to board a plane. How about that? Isn’t that what he is saying – because it is so cumbersome and is discriminatory. Glory be! Anyone believe this guy?

Is he lost in the sea of Democrat LIES?

Wonder if the attendees in the church believe all of this BS?

*****

That is why we are challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements.”

ttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/maga-furious-at-merrick-garland-s-remarks-at-selma-church/ar-BB1jgNiz?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=99389578f85d44dcb93f7fd2d3e0dbf2&ei=5

Supporters of former President Donald Trump expressed anger at Merrick Garland Sunday after the U.S. attorney general decried efforts to restrict voting access during an address in Selma, Alabama.

Garland, alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, visited the historic city to mark the 59th anniversary of the 1965 event known as “Bloody Sunday,” in which Selma police officers attacked demonstrators marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge as part of a broader African American civil rights movement. Speaking at the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Garland touched on the ways in which “the right to vote is still under attack.”

“That is why the Justice Department is fighting back,” Garland said. “That is why one of the first things I did when I came into office was to double the size of the voting section of the civil rights division.

That is why we are challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements.”

The methods of expanding voting access listed by Garland have often come under scrutiny from Republican-led governments. Their subsequent efforts to curtail them have been criticized as efforts to minimize the ability of predominantly marginalized communities to vote.

They have also more recently come under fire from former President Donald Trump, who made false claims that such methods were used by his opponents to conduct widespread voter fraud, which he falsely blames for his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election. These ideas, though widely debunked by Democrats and independent experts, have been adopted by followers of his “Make American Great Again” (MAGA) movement, who responded to Garland’s comments from Sunday with vitriol.

“Merrick Garland makes it clear the Biden regime intends to cheat in the 2024 election,” former Fox News producer Kyle Becker wrote in a post to X, formerly Twitter. “The Biden AG said election integrity measures like voter IDs & drop box bans are ‘discriminatory, burdensome & unnecessary.’ This is how cheaters talk. The fix is in.”

“Attorney General Merrick Garland LIES (again), claiming that election integrity efforts — such as voter ID requirements and restrictions on ballot ‘drop boxes’ — are “‘discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary,'”

an X user going by “Proud Elephant” wrote. “Do these people EVER tell the truth?”

“AG Merrick Garland tells a group of black people at a Selma church service that he is working hard to halt voter ID laws because they are ‘discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary,'” Collin Rugg, co-owner of the Trending Politics news website, wrote. “Assuming that black people can’t get an ID is extremely racist.

Counter to Rugg’s assertion, voter ID laws have been criticized for decades as broadly discriminatory, with opponents, like the League of Women Voters (LWV), arguing that they “disproportionately impact Black, Native, elderly, and student voters.” Generally, such laws are seen as having outsized impacts on communities where people are less likely to have forms of photo identification, while also not having a material impact on lessening fraud.

Newsweek reached out to the Department of Justice (DOJ) via email on Sunday evening for comment. Any responses received will be added to this story in a later update.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – TO FAIL MEANS NOTHING – DEFINITION – YOU TRIED!

Posted on March 3, 2024 by kommonsentsjane

3/3/2024

To fail means nothing. When you failed at anything means you tried.

What happens when you failed – it is a given? You dust off and either study more about what you failed and try again or try something else.

Those who have never failed in life – are lying.

ttps://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/20-donald-trump-business-ventures-that-failed-miserably/ar-BB1jb7di?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=ea34c9a3e2ae470390f5aa1aaa7c25df&ei=41

The story I was told about success was from a real estate business man who was a multi-millionaire. He stated that he tried 27 different businesses and in each case felt it was not the business he felt he could be successful. When he started number 28 it was real estate where he met his calling.

All of the transactions had a HAPPY ending to it – His famous sign was – DONE IT AGAIN.

You could listen to his experiences for hours on knowing how to fail and pick up the pieces and move on. If you are a person who hasn’t failed in some endeavor – then you HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE.

Experience is the best teacher in life – so don’t knock it – it the mother of experience. If you keep your head buried in sand and do nothing with your life – you never will be able to say:

DONT IT AGAIN!

Donald Trump, a name synonymous with both business acumen and controversy, has navigated through numerous ventures over the decades.

As a child of the 1980s, I remember a few of my uncles on my mom’s side would sit around and play poker. Then a few of my uncles on my dad’s side would play some game where they flipped dimes to see who would get closest to the wall.

But I was told not to gamble because the house always wins. I wasn’t allowed to play these games. But then again I wasn’t even ten yet.

At the same time there was this guy on the news all the time for bankrupting casinos. But he was also on TV constantly telling people how rich he was.

I remember asking my dad about this Donald Trump guy. I was very confused. How was he rich, yet bankrupting casinos? As a kid, I did not understand.

My dad (who now proudly wears Trump hats and socks), explained that Trump made his money from his dad and from telling people he was rich by writing The Art of The Deal.

That has resonated with me over the three decades as we’ve seen all of his business failures and claims of success. Then, just like The Art of the Deal, he made a lot of money off of The Apprentice. A showcase of his business skills.

While some of his endeavors have boasted success, a significant number have stumbled, showcasing the complexities of entrepreneurship and market dynamics.

I am not including all of his financial failures here (like the recent $355 million ruling, or payoffs to Stormy Daniels, E. Jean Carrol, and others). This article is just focused on his business failures.

Here’s an in-depth look at 20 of his business ventures that didn’t quite hit the mark.

11. Trump SoHo Hotel (2008-2017)

Faced legal challenges and struggled with occupancy rates before being rebranded, showing the competitive nature of the luxury hotel sector.

Shelved following the 2008 financial crisis, illustrating the global impact of economic downturns on luxury real estate.

This is another example of Trump experiencing financial losses related to planning and initial development efforts without achieving fruition.

19. Trump Institute

A separate business from Trump University offering real estate seminars under a licensing agreement until 2009. Trump endorsed the program through infomercials despite not being involved in its operations.

While Trump endorsed the program, financial details on the scale of investment or revenue share are not public, suggesting a venture that did not meet its expected potential

20. Professional Football and Social Media Forays

Trump’s business interests have also spanned professional sports and social media.

These endeavors, while not detailed in financial outcomes here, signify his diverse portfolio and his readiness to take on high-risk ventures, demonstrating his approach to business and entrepreneurship.

Is Marriage A Business?

Trump hasn’t limited his financial failures to business. Donald Trump has been married three times:

Ivana Trump

They married in 1977 and divorced in 1992. Ivana was a significant figure in the Trump Organization, notably in interior design and managing the Plaza Hotel.

The divorce settlement with Ivana Trump was one of the most talked-about in the early ’90s. It was reported that Ivana received a settlement that included $14 million, a mansion in Connecticut, an apartment in Trump Plaza, and use of Mar-a-Lago for one month a year.

Marla Maples

The marriage took place in 1993, following their affair that began while Trump was still married to Ivana. They have one daughter, Tiffany, and divorced in 1999.

The divorce from Marla Maples was less costly in comparison. Reports suggest that Maples received around $2 million in the divorce settlement.

Trump: A Lesson Learned

This comprehensive overview of Donald Trump’s less successful ventures showcases the challenging nature of entrepreneurship.

Each venture, from educational endeavors like Trump University to ambitious real estate projects like Trump Tower Tampa, underlines the importance of market timing, financial management, and the complexities of navigating various industries.

Trump’s widespread interests, spanning from luxury goods to online platforms and professional sports, highlight his entrepreneurial spirit but also the potential pitfalls of extending one’s brand across too diverse a range of sectors.

These failures not only represent financial losses but also offer lessons on the importance of ethical business practices, market research, and strategic planning.

Despite these setbacks, Trump’s career continues to be a subject of study for understanding the dynamics of business success and failure in the modern economic landscape.

In Conclusion

Each of these ventures illustrates not just the ambition and breadth of Trump’s business interests but also the inherent risks of entrepreneurship and market speculation.

The financial figures, where available, help to illuminate the scale of investment and the magnitude of losses involved, offering a cautionary tale about the complexities and challenges of business ventures across diverse industries.

May God Bless him in this endeavor. He loves our country and is trying to put it back together after Obama took it apart. Just think how many people are trying to keep him from putting our country back on the road of the Constitution/freedom.

The question to those who are fighting against him – the one question that needs to be asked of them:

What do you stand for and why are you working with Obama/Biden to blow up our country?

What are they afraid of – are they also guilty of being part of Obama’s treason?

Is the corruption that will be exposed and they are a part of it – they accepted money?

Something is bigger – than country – if they are on Obama’s side?

KOMMONSENTSJANE – CAN WE CLARIFY THE OATH OF OFFICE A POLITICAN TAKES – since we are having so much corruption in our government.

Posted on March 3, 2024 by kommonsentsjane

ttps://www.usa.gov/impeachment#SnippetTab

It is time to review the election of our political folks. The Constitution states they must take the oath of office. but, is that happening? We are having a lot of problems with people being elected who do not want to be seen taking the oath. What are others professing their oath on what?

Are we conducting this part of the process correctly and does it mean anything? We must take this part more seriously and have it a part of the impeachment process.

We must clarify this. Since people are getting by with so much who are employees

How federal impeachment works

Impeachment is the process of bringing charges against a government official for wrongdoing. A trial may be held, and the official may be removed from office.

The impeachment process

The Constitution gives Congress the power to impeach federal officials. An official can be impeached for treason, bribery, and “other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

  1. The House of Representatives brings articles (charges) of impeachment against an official. Learn more about the House’s role in impeachment.
  2. If the House adopts the articles by a simple majority vote, the official has been impeached.
  3. The Senate holds an impeachment trial. In the case of a president, the U.S. Supreme Court chief justice presides. Learn more about the Senate’s role in the impeachment process.
  4. If found guilty, the official is removed from office. They may never be able to hold elected office again.
  5. If they are not found guilty, they may continue to serve in office.

Learn more about impeachment, including its history and how the U.S. Constitution grants impeachment powers to Congress.

Past impeachments of federal officials

The House has initiated impeachment proceedings more than 60 times. But there have been only 21 impeachments. This includes three presidents, one cabinet secretary, and one senator. Of those who were impeached, only eight officials were found guilty by the Senate and removed from office. All eight were federal judges.

The presidents impeached by the House were:

Presidents Johnson, Clinton, and Trump remained in office following acquittals by the Senate on all charges.

Former President Richard Nixon was not impeached. He resigned after Congress started the impeachment process against him in 1974.

Impeachment of state and local officials

A state legislature can impeach its governor and other state officials. Many local governments also have impeachment procedures. Find your state legislature’s website to learn more.
