MY MOST POPULAR POSITION

MY MOST POPULAR POSITION

The one thing Democrats and Republicans can agree on in Orange County is this– we need to bring back the Pac 12.

This is my post popular position by far right now. Everyone loves the idea of getting the college conferences back into proper alignment.

Seeing UCLA and USC have to fly to Rutgers for a conference game is absurd.

Stanford and Cal playing in the ATLANTIC coast conference is insulting to the English language.

Plus it is MURDER on the student athletes who have to travel back and forth across the country and still somehow perform both academically and athletically.

Its terrible. All bad. Money grab.

Look I am all about the free market– but once in a while the government has to step in to fix something dumb.

This is a great example.

Let’s get the Pac-12 back and put the rest of the conferences into their classic alignments– and keep them there!

“We cannot trust the Department of Justice.”

“We cannot trust the Department of Justice.”

This is where we are right now.

Partisan federal representatives openly claiming the DOJ can’t be trusted.

Insane.

But not unexpected.

When Democrats are in power the Republicans say the DOJ can’t be trusted.

When Republicans are in power the Democrats say the DOJ can’t be trusted.

We need to end the parties.

NONE of these people can be trusted.

Any R. Any D.

Can’t trust them.

They don’t work for you.

And they sure as heck don’t work for justice.

Americans are smart. We’re tired of the partisan nonsense.

Need to end the parties.

Then we can have a department of ACTUAL justice again.

It will happen.

Soon.

Bet on it. America Deserves to Win!

The PEOPLE Are Angry

The PEOPLE Are Angry

I don’t like where this is headed.

There’s a clear disconnect now between ICE and the people.

Did you see that moment of silence during the Timberwolves game?

The people are very angry.

They don’t view ICE as law enforcement anymore.

They view ICE as an invading enemy.

Free people don’t like being invaded.

I don’t like where this is going at all.

Still time for a deal. Losers blaming each other doesn’t help. Need to listen to the winners.

This is easy guys. Not even tough to get a deal done here. Already gave you the roadmap.

Otherwise this is where we end up… and more people are going to die. For no reason.

Dave– These are serious times. Stop writing letters and start getting something done. Call me if you need help. I have some ideas.

Give ICE Some Space Guys

Give ICE Some Space Guys

Look, Americans are big believers in freedom.

We love freedom.

And when we see some things out there that look like people are getting their freedom taken away we want to stand up and do something about it.

I love that.

But we also need to be smart guys.

When federal law enforcement is actively following and enforcing the law we have to give them space to operate.

Getting in their face and calling them names and trying to stop them from doing their job isn’t right.

And really… it isn’t helping.

I understand the people are angry right now.

They’ve been LET DOWN.

But screaming in an ICE agent’s face is NOT helping anyone. If anything it creates anger and resentment in that human being that will come out in other ways later.

Bad ways.

Anger begets anger.

Love begets love.

Let’s remember we all love each other.

And yes, MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MADE. But these guys have a VERY tough job and the more times people get in the way the more mistakes are going to happen. And NOBODY wants that.

Protest safely. Protest SMART. Otherwise REALLY BAD stuff is coming guys. Trust me.

First rule of litigation– you can’t let one mistake lead to more mistakes.

So let’s be smart. Remember we love each other and give ICE some room to work while we try to make a deal to solve all of this once and for all.

Washington needs level-headed leadership. Support Troutman now!

Doing What the People Want

Doing What the People Want

Sat down with a politician the other day.

Told him it was his job to represent the people and only the people.

He told me I was wrong.

Should representatives do what the people want or what they want?

He said his job was to get superior information and make the best decision he could on behalf of the people, no matter what they wanted.

This was a fascinating statement to me– but also one that underscores the issues we are having right now.

We have representatives who think they know better than the people. Who think they are superior to the people.

“I won’t be a puppet to the people” he said.

Weird.

I will be.

The people need a representative they can trust.
