Impeachment

Written By:  Andrew Eide

Since the Mueller investigation report was released where Special Counsel Robert Mueller stated in his findings there was no collusion with Russia by President Trump or anyone associated with his campaign, and that there was no Obstruction of Justice on the part of President Trump, we still have half the Democrats in Congress demanding Impeachment of Trump. Shall we discuss this?

There have been 45 Presidents over the history of the United States. Only two Presidents, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, have been Impeached. This means the process of Impeachment of a President is rarely used and under normal situations, like what we have with President Trump, wouldn’t be successful anyway.

Both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were Impeached but using the lesser process which is a written letter of reprimand and they leave them in office.

Now I know what some of you are thinking and that is President Richard Nixon was Impeached so why are you not talking about that. I am informing you that Richard Nixon was not Impeached he resigned. The official Impeachment process was never started on Nixon. And several of the Attorneys who worked on figuring out of Impeachment on President Nixon would have worked have all stated that even if they had started the process there was not enough evidence to Impeach Nixon.

What about President Trump? He was found innocent off all accusations of collusion with Russia and Obstruction of Justice. If the Democrats in Congress even tried to prepare Impeachment documents they would get slam dunked so hard they wouldn’t regain consciousness for months. I keep telling people with all the illegal things President Obama did, and nobody brought up Impeachment on him, then with Trump being innocent of all accusations there is no way Democrats would be successful if they tried Impeachment.

Threats

I worked for 20 years in the United States Navy, and for 22 years in the civilian workforce, and I would like to tell you how I was harassed in the workplace.

While in the United States Navy I had so many jealous people try to take me out and take me down. Thry ranged from the lowest-ranking Enlisted member of Seaman Recruit to the highest ranking Officer which is an Admiral. In every case their accusations were false. What I did was tell them if they believe I am guilty of their accusations then bring me before a Court-Martial (same as going to a Court for a trial in the civilian world) and let’s see what happens. I also told them when the Court-Martial finds me innocent of their accusations I will counter-sue them for bringing a frivolous lawsuit against me. Guess what? Never once did anyone bring charges or accusations against me to a Court-Martial because they knew they were wrong and I was right.

During my time out of the United States Navy I worked in the civilian workforce for 22 years both full-time and part-time. I worked for Government Civil Service, I worked for the City of Oakland, California, I worked at three church-related organizations, and then I worked at a rehabilition facility.

In each of these civilian jobs there were the same jealous people but instead of wearing a Navy uniform they wore civilian clothing. They accused me of everything you can think of. Go ahead and toss some accusations out there and don’t spare your creativity as I am sure I was accused of it. As I did when I was in the Navy I stood up to these people and told them if they believe I am guilty of their accusations then bring a lawsuit against me. I reminded them the entire burden of proof is on them, the accusing party, to prove me guilty as I am innocent until proven guilty. I dared them to bring a lawsuit against me so that when I am cleared of their accusations I can counter-sue them for bringing a frivolous lawsuit against me. Guess what? Never once did anyone bring charges of accusaitons against me in a lawsuit to bring it into court for a trial because they knew they were wrong and I was right.

My point is simply that I have stood up to the jealous accusations against me and in every case these people backed down as their accusations aagainst me were false. You need to do the same thing and never let anyone abuse and threaten you. Not in the work place, not at school, and not in your family.

Palestine

Written By:  Andrew Eide

You hear a lot about Palestine in the news, in debates in Congress, and you wonder what is going on. Today I am here to tell you what is going on.

The history of the region where the area, district, whatever you call it other than a “country” is not a country at all. It is a region, area, district, location, etc., where a group of people who have never had a country decided to call it their home.

If you read the Bible you know that the Israelites wondered for a very long time to get their stubbornness out of them. Finally God told them where they were to settle and they settled where God told them to.

To be a valid legal “country” you must have a Government, regulations, borders, and of course a national flag. Palestine has never had any of those things. Up until around 2008 they came under control of Jordan. They were classified as Jordinians and carried passports issued by the country of Jordan. Finally Jordan became tired of dealing with these people so they stoppeed supporting them.

Palestinians have been demanding to have their “country” recognized by the world even though in the history of the world they have never had a legal valid “country” as we define countries.

Israel, on the other hand, was given legal valid “country” or “nation” status on May 14, 1948.

I have friends who are Palestinian and all of them say the same thing. They said Jordan didn’t support them and now that they are on their own, with no government, no financial system, and no jobs, they are in huge trouble economically. All their jobs, medical facilities, etc., are located in Israel. Most of my Palestinian friends tell me if they would come under control of Israel they would be way better off than when whey were under control of Jordan and of course way better off than they are today on their own.

There you go. You have just been schooled.’

Does White Privilege Exist?

Written By:  Andrew Eide

White privilege? Seriously? You think there is White privilege? Let me give you two personal incidents that happened to me while I was living in Oakland, California, and then you tell me I was the benefit of White privilege.

First incident:  I stayed with my mother for a few months in 1982. I would walk to the Fruitvale BART Station in Oakland. Nearly everyone on the platform was smoking cigarettes so I lit up and was smoking. Two BART Police Officers approached me, one Black and one Hispanic, and they told me I am violating the law by smoking on the  BART platform. I told them everyone is smoking, and there are cigarette ash cans everywhere, so why am I being confronted for smoking on the platform. The two officers said smoking is not allowed on BART platforms. They then looked around and said they didn’t see anyone else smoking, only me, and they gave me a $50 Citation. So all the Blacks and Hispanics on the platform smoking were ignored and me, a White male, was issued a citation. Sure great to have White privilege eh?

Second incident:  I saw a job listing in the Oakland Tribune newspaper. They were looking for people to teach “entry level administrative skills” to high school students so they can apply for jobs and have some experience. The only requirements listed for the job were:  (1) You must have at least 5 years work experience in the Administrative field. (2) You must have a desire to teach others Administrative skills. (3) You must be able to type 50 words per minute or faster.

When I called a Black woman answered the phone and talked with me. She asked me my skills and I told her I had 8 years as an Administrative Assistant, I love helping people obtain entry level Administrative skills so they have experience going into a job interview. She then asked about my typing speed. I told her I am around 70 words per minute (which was 20 over their minimum requirement) and I told her I would be willing to take a typing test to verify my speed and accuracy. Her immediate response was:  IF YOU CAN’T TYPE 50 WORDS PER MINUTE OR MORE WE DON’T WANT YOU!!! Then she slammed the phone and hung up on me. Never gave me a chance to take a typing skills test. Sure great to have White privilege eh?

In my 42 years of working I’ve never obtained a job due to being White. I’ve never obtained a job for being a White Male. I’ve never received any special benefits for being White. I have, though, been discriminated in job hiring, promotions, etc., for being White.

Yeah, sure is great to have White privilege eh?
