Listen up ..Whether you voted for Trump or not. We said this all during the campaign that when push comes to shove every Republican holding office will support him once he gets elected. We wouldn’t be one bit surprised if when they were in the voting booth that they pulled his lever. Believe us when We tell you that all the bluster that everyone heard during the campaign was just politically correct posturing & nothing more.
The real name of the game is Jobs..Contracts & Grant Giveaways not policy among the Politicians. We would venture to say that it is 80% Politically Connected Plumb Jobs & that will include those most sort after Lucrative Govt Contracts as well as Big Money going for Grant Studies & Just a mere 20% Actual Political Policy.
All Though we all worry and hope that’s not the case with all elected Politicians. We’d like to believe in our Heart of Hearts and that there are still real some dedicated Loyal Patriotic Americans holding office today. Wake up and Face Reality. Do you really believe that any one holding Political Office can be their your own man and sort be a Rogue Office Holder Casting his or her vote as they bloody well choses.
There’s not much future in that..No Political Party will ever endorse you again. The majority Whip tells you (pardon Our French) But when to Shit and when to get off the Pot.. Unfortunately even an Independent Elected Member of the House or Senate has to caucus with one of the major party’s
The Top Echelon Cabinet positions are Small Potatoes in the handing out government connected jobs .What where talking about is Tens of thousands of politically appointed jobs from low to mid level positions & let us not forget those most sort after lucrative Govt Contracts and Federal Judgeships is why each & every sitting elected Republican will get in line with Trump.
Policy is basically not what they are concerned with. You can be rest assured that they will play the public like a fine violin with Hot Button Issues such as Abortion & Middle East and more..Make no mistake about it without all the” Pork Barrel Goodies” available plus all of rest of that good stuff available for the pickings all of those elected officials would find some other line of employment .
So put on your thinking caps on..Why do you think anyone in their right spend Millions in a campaign for a job paying anywhere from $175,000 -$194,000 ?So when Trump asks every Republican to jump they will reply back How High?
Don’t delude yourself they know only to well where their bread is buttered.Yes in the final analysis they will all support the President and you can take that to the bank!
The newly Trump pick for Secretary of State has set up a red flag to many motorists throughout the nation..While Trump kept his cards close to his chest on this pick..One many are saddened that Giuliani was somehow passed over for the slot..Were not sure if Giuliani jumped or was pushed but both him & Ambassador Bolton somehow were shown the door.
We just saw Opec lowering oil production that alone is going to take a big toll at the pump..
This Exxon top executive scares drivers even more.many motorist believe that Big Oil was part & partial to the oil hike few years back when gas Prices soared to nearly $5.00 a gallon at the pump. We are aware that there is a GOP majority in the Senate but we’d nonetheless like to hear this be brought up at that Rex Tillerson’s conformation hearing and have his feet held to the fire so to speak on thus issue. We believe that his approval is not in the nations best interest,the oil hike a few years back wrecked havoc on our economy many Americans lost their cushion if comfortably and never recovered their financial loss and can’t risk 1 -2 punch of another oil hike..Sorry but our homeowners don’t want to choose between heating their homes and feeding their families again.
Bottom line Rex Tillerson’s choice not a good oneLets see if our Senators will do the right thing & nix his conformation. Just like the Bannon connection to Trump all during the campaign and the Press feigned ignorance right after the elation votes were tallied…you mean to tell us that all
the mainstream media knew nothing about Tillerson?
Whoever is tapped to head the Veteran’s Administration nothing will change not one ioda. The outcry of disaproval is loud and clear, but let us tell everyone the Facts of Life. While we all heard the old expression “a New Broom Sweeps Clean “We would bet our bottom dollar it’s not going to happen. First off The top Echelon are all the high level and mid level employees most likely are not going anywhere they will most likely be kept around as not to loose the time in for their pensions & will continue on the VA’s Employ untill they put in for their retirement papers.
Secondly no lower level workers will see a pink slip.They are either Political Appointees or Union & its harder than pulling teeth to send them to the Unemployment line..Gone are the days of Ronald Reagan along with the AirTraffic Controller firing just not going to happen in 2017.
Thirdly the VA lures Doctors and Nurses to work for them with huge sign on bonuses and the VA is not going to throw way their investment. Lets clue in all the workers in the VA’s employ..Just in case anybody forgot the VA does not exsist so the workers an make a living but to serve the Veteran..that’s all.
We often find it a bit unbelievable when the day after the election that you first hear about Who will be White House Chief of Staff, or in this case that the press knew nothing of Steve Bannon’s top involvement & slated to be Trumps right hand man.We don’t by that for one minute. Not one press agency or reporter neither print or broadcast ever made mention of this.. Someone known for leaning & supporting White Supremacy & it was hushed up? Trump was supposed to clean up the Swamp of Washington DC..looks like he bullshited his voting base and is now either softening or reneging on his campaign promises only one day after the election. While where not fans of Chris Christi with Bridgegate looming over him & The 23 cents a gallon Gasoline increase in Jersey, But after Christi lended his support all through the campaign to sort if drop him like a hot potato because Christi prosecuted Trump’s son in laws Father..you tell me that Trump was of aware of that situation at day one ? The first 100 days in office is supposed to be a Honeymoon period with the press looks like there’s really no need for a “Honeymoon’ since it just about appears that the press was in bed with him all along.
Does any one think in their right mind that congress will ever reform and police themselves.. It ain’t gonna happen. It irkes me too that these old cadavers can still roam the halls of Congress & the Senate untill the day they die. They have plenty of pull as long time incumbents they pull the strings in their party & stay in office.The only way that it will ever cease to happen if we find not only Democrat law makers have a Trough to feed from such as USAID but Republicans also wind up drinking from USAID or have a source of their own that their feeding from.Hmmm?

Don’t watch reruns of Hogans Heros.The false portrayal of POW’S is downright insulting to our men and woman who served in the Armed Forces and were POW”S.When you see the old T.V. series Hogan’ s Heros starring Bob Crane,Richard Dawson it paints a false picture of all fun and games for the POW’S.They all appear to be having a great time of fun and camaraderie..This is the furthest from the truth for the WWII German POW Camp inside a German Stalag or The Hanoi Hilton or for the Poor Souls who endured the Bataan Death March of WWII and if they survived that they were led to a Japanese POW camp.
I personally had an Uncle who was an American serviceman captured in North Africa by Romels invading Army and sent to a German Stalag. The beatings the Torture and stuff that went there that we can’t even begin to print here. There was even a POW WWII movie starring Peter Graves,Harvey Lembrick & William Holden..Much if the same false picture being portrayed.It was far from the reality of a POW camp ..Once again it was all fun & games in the Pow camp just like as “The Hogan’s Heroes” T.V.Show.
Whenever you see a War movie and you see the soldiers wearing official U.S. Army uniforms or even referring to themselves as U.S Army they enjoy the complete blessing and approval of the Pentagon .Even when portraying a Post Office Employee for that matter and they are in shown wearing official Post office attire be rest assured it has the complete blessing & approval of UNCLE SAM as well. In other words perhaps our government wants this image to be shown as to soften what is the true reality of war is really like.
If Uncle Sam dislikes the content of the script in any way shape, manner or form then it doesn’t give its approval to use official U.S. Uniform & insignia’s in that particular film. I saw many 3 stooges clips and the U.S.Army didn’t approve of their portrayal of The Army & they had to use non official UNIFORMS & badges in their films ..DO NOT FEED INTO THIS GROSS DECEPTION OF THE THAT THEY ARE PRESENTING.
DO NOT WATCH IT WHEN ITS IN SYNDICATION & REFRAIN FROM BUYING ANYTHING THAT THE SPONSOS SELLS.
After careful Thought I will Sit Out The Presidential Election .When I see that Trump Sent out a Tweet wih a Star of David On a negative Tweet concerning Hillary, I can no longer in good concsience support him any longer..I keep asking myself maybe it was a sherrifs Star or perhaps some aid was handling his tweets and he wasnt on top of it , But as of right now I’m done with him. I know His daughter Converted to Judaism and his grandson is Jewish ..No excuse,I let a lot of things go…the wall with Mexico ,the imitation of the reporter with a handycap,the prisonersof war remark,the remark on veterans returning with PST,but his latest crude remark caught on tape from 5 years ago was the straw that broke the camels back.
I’m no fan of Hillay Clinton , I will no longer voter on the Democratic party line..I feel that they reek of Anti Semitism by their past and present actions Whats sad is that neither the left or the right is courting the once saught Jewish Vote as they once did in the past .The Jewish voting block of old has shrunk due to intertermariage and the younger Jews who Don’t grasp the old Jewish way of thinking concerning Politics,and have some liberal ideals that aren’t in concert with supporting Jews and Isreal… Unless Trump makes some sort of Mia culpa about these crude remarks that he was caught on a tape by Billy Bush and find it exceptableexceptable & satisfactory Iwont support him and will sit out the election ..Don Lerman
It’s about time a major European nation took a bold step and voted to exit the E.U..
Open borders ? What were they ever thinking when they implemented that? Now Britain will once again regain its sovereignty as a independent nation.
We at the Lerman Report are in favor of the succession vote Just look at what open Border policy has done for Britain as well as every other member state?
It been nothing less than a security nightmare.Lets us not forget Britain’s nose dive in their economy. We at the Lerman Report Editorial Board highly applaud this move.
Their very large immigrant population is not assimilating and adopting the British standard of behavior as we are witnessing a loss freedom of speach..time to exit..

Republicans Signed A pledge To Support the primary Winner..Guess What? ” They Lied”‘ and now show that they are a party with out honor. Trump won fair and square,he beat a field concisting of 17 canidates and put away each one one by one ,an now deserves the party’s endorsement. For Speaker of the House Ryan to say that he is not in his corner is pathetic, for Mit Romney who saught and recieved a larger donation fromtrump when he ran for President to now turn on him ,is nothing short of a charactor flaw ..both men are empty suits ,how they got this far in politics is beyond me .This non support is unpresidented in modern polticts .
Whats really going on is that they are extremely upset that a political outsider to clinched the nomination it doesn’t sit well with the republican heirarchy. If trump with his miillions can’t secure the party’s support to run for president then what chance does an average Joe have to run for office with little money ?..answer..none

The entire E.U. nations ain’t worth the last crap We took . When The Terror struck at Jewish Eatery occured in Paris stemming from the Charlie Hebdo incident the entire World community of nations gave support for France.You could have picked up any newspaper and read “We are all behind you France” The same goes for that recent or the incident in Belgium or Boston and rightly so …But when it happens in Isreal it is asked to capitulate and make concessions. Talk about Double Standards and lo and behold the terrorist receive a free ride, and everyone blames Isreal..how strange and
What the ultimate travesty of this assembly of all the World Leaders is the fact that they let Palestinian Authority President Abbas attend this March.. Heres a guy who pays reward money to terrorists that kills Jews and also names streets after these Terrorists.
To make manners worst the French Government is attempting to by pass the Israeli governments sovereignty and put Up Jerusalem on the action block so to speak and force Israel’s hand to start up peace talks .. and will be demanding a 2 state solution.
France you want a 2 state solution? You and every other E.U.nation with your muslim population soon will have a have your chance for a 2 state solution in your own countries. When you implement yours let Israel know how you like it and how wonderful it is.In the meanwhile…..
Mind your own business and worry about your own nation which seems to be plunging in downward spiral motion as refugees pour in.What you seem to be doing is placating your own Muslim population by puting Israel in the hot seat. If its Terror in Europe its terror in Israel Don’t stand up for the perpetrator of terror and stick it to Isreal.Isreal handed over Sinai,Gaza and parts of the West Bank as a land for peace deal..well does anyone see peace coming from these areas? Now the E.U. Wants Israel to further hand over more land for peace. Haven’t we all heard this song before? What example are the Palestinians setting for a land for peace DEAL… you tell me….Yes the Palestinians want Peace,all right a Piece of Haifa A Piece of Tel Aviv A piece of Jerusalem.
