Somebody needs to stop me before I jump on the Trump bandwagon!
Last night I watched the House hearings questioning FBI Director James Comey on the decision not to indite Hillary Clinton. As I watched my disgust and anger grew. Somebody now needs to stop me before I jump on the Trump bandwagon!
I still think
Trump is a danger to the Republic, most fearful he may start trade wars
and fearful that he may do something stupid like default on the national debt or
really try to deport 12 million Mexicans. I still think he is an
ill-mannered, egotistical, bully with unknown political views and unfit to be president. It is not that I think any better of
Trump, but I am so outraged at the thought of Hillary becoming president, that I would almost rather pull a random name from a hat to be president rather than trust Hillary.
I am outraged at the long list of Clinton scandals. I am outraged she mixed her
private, Clinton Foundation, and State Department email on an unsecured
server and then when the emails were subpoenaed she deleted 30,000 of
them! Any normal citizen who destroyed evidence in that fashion would
be in jail. She showed reckless disregardful for the security of our
country and destroyed evidence. She has contempt for our nation's
security and the rule of law. I am outraged she got by with it. Nixon
did nothing coming close to her criminality.
I wish we had a better
alternative than Trump, but I may prefer to risk reckless rude Trump
than put the country in the hands lying criminal Hillary.
It is clear that she mishandled classified information and it is clear she destroyed evidence and she has gotten by with it. That she got by with it is the real crime and that her supporters don't give a damn is the real outrage. This should not be the end of it, however. It is crime to lie to Congress. The House should ask the FBI to open criminal investigation into allegations that Hillary Clinton lied to Congress. Unfortunately, It may not matter. I have the feeling that the fix is in and Clinton will get a free pass from the Obama Justice Department no matter what she does. Clinton probably sealed the deal on that private airplane in Arizona. The Obama administration has demonstrated it's contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law. The vast federal bureaucracy is only a tool for handing out favors and punishing enemies. The rule of law is dead.
If charges had been brought against Clinton for the mishandling of classified material and destruction of evidence, then most likely she would have withdrawn from the race for President and the nomination would have most likely fallen to Joe Biden. For those who want Trump to be president, what happened with Hillary is probably not a bad outcome. Trump probably has a better chance against Hillary than he would Joe Biden. While in a normal election year I would have agree that this was a good outcome, I really do not want a Trump presidency. In a choice between Trump and Biden, I could have reluctantly welcomed a Biden presidency. Justice should have been served and Hillary should have been indited.

Nashville judge throws out fairgrounds gun show lawsuit
The Tennessean - Davidson County Chancellor Carol McCoy, in a ruling from the bench, granted Metro’s motion to dismiss the case and denied the motion of plaintiff David Goodman of Bill Goodman’s Gun and Knife Shows for injunctive relief. Goodman had requested that the court order the Metro fair board to block off weekends next year when gun shows at the fairgrounds had previously been scheduled. ... McCoy said that Goodman does not face immediate and irreparable harm to warrant an injunction and also lacked standing to bring the lawsuit .... “I cannot find that there is a right to contract with Metro,” McCoy said. (link)
My Comment: While my sympathies are with Goodman, I am not surprised or outraged by this ruling. I am not a lawyer but I thought the Goodman argument was weak from the very beginning.

Charles Sargent Earns NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award
NFIB Press release, June 30,2016 - The Tennessee office of the
National Federation of Independent Business, the state's leading small-business
association, has presented its coveted Guardian of Small Business Award to
state Rep. Charles Sargent. NFIB made the presentation this afternoon at Elliott
Davis Decosimo, an NFIB member in Brentwood.
 |
| Rep. Charles Sargent |
Jim Brown, state director of NFIB, said, “Charles Sargent is an exceptionally strong supporter of NFIB on a variety of issues. Most notably, he sponsored legislation to repeal the state’s inheritance and gift taxes, as well as a reform bill that provides a more flexible, less punitive reporting method for businesses that pay our franchise & excise tax. Representative Sargent once again scored a perfect 100 percent voting record with NFIB and continues to support legislation that promotes a stable business environment for free enterprise.”
“Tennesseans are fortunate to have leaders like Charles Sargent representing them in our legislature,” Brown said. “On behalf of all small businesses in Tennessee, NFIB wants to thank Representative Sargent for everything he’s done for our state’s entrepreneurs.”
Sargent, who chairs the House Finance Ways & Means Committee and serves on the Insurance & Banking Committee, is a longtime NFIB member from Franklin.

TNGOP Statement on FBI's Investigation of Clinton's Secret Server
TN GOP, NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 5, 2016 - The Tennessee Republican Party released the following statement from Chairman Ryan Haynes regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation's criminal inquiry into Hillary Clinton's secret server:
Today's FBI findings are nothing short of a disaster for Hillary Clinton. This announcement was a damning indictment on Clinton's character, integrity, and her use of a secret email server. We now know that Hillary Clinton has repeatedly made false and misleading statements about sending and receiving classified materials. Director Comey's comments clearly reveal a pattern of criminal behavior with Clinton. Given this, and the fact the status of her security clearance is now in question, how can Hillary Clinton be president? While the FBI may not be bringing charges, I am confident that American voters will render a much different verdict this November.
