ELECTION 2018 UNPLUGGED: THE FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC REASONS MY VOTE IS LIMITED FOR REPUBLICANS

Foreign influence over our nation is a real problem as I observed in a previous post.  You don't even have to talk about Khashoggi as awful as it was.  Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen has killed hundreds of thousands and threatens more than 10 million with starvation.    

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is calling for a cease-fire and talks between the sides in Yemen.  Its about time.

But Saudi Arabia's war in Syria which the US backed as President Trump bucked up the false claims of chemical weapons attacks in the last two years by their jihadists and jihadist helpers like the "White Helmets", stands out like a sore thumb.

Iran is obviously the greater enemy as Prime Minister Netanyahu pointed out Friday so Saudi Arabia's brutality means little in the end.

How ironic that the nation that spawned Al-Qaeda, where 15 of the 19  9/11 hijackers came from, is our ally and must be our ally, we are told.

The Saudi-Qatari war in Syria spawned ISIS and as one of this year's Nobel Peace Prize winners Nadia Murad reminds us it spawned the rape and abuse of women on an industrial scale in Syria and Iraq.

And then the war spawned the migrant invasion of Europe and more rape and abuse of women, plus political turmoil continent wide.

But remember, Saudi Arabia must be our ally, its about half-a million jobs President Trump told us, then he said a million in regards to the 110 billion dollar arms deal.

President Trump wants to put Khashoggi behind him wherever his body is.   No one seems to know where.   But the rest of the story speaks for itself.

In early 2016 President Trump campaigned in New Hampshire's primary and was pictured with Marine Jerry DeLemus, co-chair of the New Hampshire Veterans Coalition for Trump.

Jerry DeLemus now sits in the Devens federal prison in Massachusetts where Anthony Weiner is among his fellow inmates and Weiner has the shorter sentence (21 months) than Jerry's (87 months).

DeLemus was arrested in connection with the Bunkerville Standoff near Bundy Ranch in 2014 and had charged piled on him to intimidate him into a plea deal.

We now know prosecutors engaged in "gross misconduct" (as the judge put it) in the case, with charges dropped against key defendants like members of the Bundy family.

But it was too late for Jerry and he sits in prison.   Where is the pardon for him and for the other two defendants convicted in the Bunkerville case in rigged jury trials before the truth about their hiding of evidence by federal prosecutors came out.

Todd Engel is jailed for 14 years at the federal prison in Lompoc, California and Greg Burleson for 68 years at the federal prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania.

I was called earlier this year to support the candidacy of Lou Barletta for US Senate here in Pennsylvania and I simply said:

"When is Greg Burleson getting out of prison"

Lets give President Trump credit for saying there are too many people in prison and we need reform.

Watching the criminal justice system work in relation to the Oregon and Bunkerville cases convinced me of how rigged the system utterly is.

Its been turned on its head from the vision of the Founding Fathers to:

"guilty until proven innocent"

It results in a 98 percent conviction rate in these federal cases.

The USA is five percent of the world's population and 20 percent of the world's prisoners.

These three need to be free and why aren't they?

Ryan Bundy was at the federal courthouse in Las Vegas just days ago announcing a lawsuit for malicious prosecution even as Steven Myhre (Lead Prosecutor of the Bundy's and a Republican) backed by the US Attorney for Nevada appointed by AG Jeff Sessions, Dayle Elieson. appeal to get charges in Bunkerville reinstated after the obvious and egregious misconduct of the federal prosecutors in the case.

*itching about Jeff Sessions isn't solving anything period.

Ryan Bundy is running as an Independent for Governor of Nevada reminding us that the Republicans from Washington to Nevada like its Attorney General and candidate for Governor, Adam Laxalt, have done and are doing nothing to help the Bundy's in particular and farmers and ranchers in general obtain freedom from federal land control.

Here we are talking about the border and a wall right before the election.  It was pushed to the back burner for 20 months with President Trump in the White House and GOP control of Congress.

Now it gets rolled out to meet the "caravan show" being staged out there by someone looking to cause a stir or trouble.   We get the troops sent to the border right before the election and a bill introduced, NOT PASSED, to build the wall right before the election.

In Mississippi, four candidates are vying in a "Special Open Primary Election" for US Senate.

As Chris "REMEMBER MISSISSIPPI" McDaniel, the Trump supporter who will support Trump in the US Senate candidate, said the other day at a campaign rally.

"Why hasn't the wall been built?"

Besides the two Democrats in this open primary mess where the top two finishing candidates Tuesday go to a runoff election November 27th, there is the US Chamber of Commerce (CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS) endorsed candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith.   Hyde-Smith appointed to the Senate by the governor.

President Donald J. Trump actually claimed that voting for the candidate endorsed by the "Cheap Labor Express" at the US Chamber of Commerce is a vote for him when he went to Mississippi and endorsed her at a rally.

Many wore red t-shirts in that audience that simply said:

"Trump Voter for Chris McDaniel" 

Getting back to the world scene, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, the Republican overlord of federal lands who's pushing wildlife bridges out west to interdict farmers and ranchers was speaking at an event in Pittsburgh and actually said the United States could blockade Russian energy exports.

Here is the link.....RYAN ZINKE RUSSIA BLOCKADE 9/28/2018

The election is happening, that's for sure, but it is there something like war coming after it.

I will vote for some Republicans but others I will not because things are troubled in the matters I've mentioned.

God Bless America and lets hope some good things happen after these elections regarding the confrontational approaches to Russia and Iran and to the Bunkerville case and that the feds finally back off the Bundy's in connection with it.
