Cruz Campaign Shoots Themselves In The Foot In Michigan By Trying To Undermine Both Trump and Kasich Campaigns

Cruz Campaign shoots themselves in the foot trying to undermine
Donald Trump and John Kasich Campaigns


Ted Cruz's campaign is whining this evening as they devised a devious plan to keep the Donald Trump campaign out of key positions in the Michigan Delegation, working with John Kasich campaign. The plan ended up backfiring on them.   At the last minute, the Kasich campaign switched sides and joined the Trump campaign in knocking out the Cruz campaign from holding key positions.

Cruz's   campaign ran eight delegates for eight committee spots and lost every single one of them.  The campaign is now alleging it was "double-crossed" by Kasich supporters.

The Michigan delegation picked one Trump supporter, Matt Hall, and one Kasich supporter, Judi Schwalbach, for the two seats on the powerful rules committee. The Cruz campaign lost votes for both seats.

The rules committee spots have become extremely important

when it comes to having a say when it comes to a contested convention, which may happen in Cleveland this summer.  After the delegates are selected in each state, they meet as a group and pick the members of four convention committees, the most important of which is the rules committee, which will then decide who can be nominated president.

Former Michigan Cruz campaign  director  Saul Anuzis whose duties where shifted to Texas a few months back, stated they were "double-crossed" by Kasich's campaign. 

The Kasich delegates were supposed to vote with Cruz delegates, he said, but switched sides and voted with Trump behind closed doors Saturday afternoon.

Jeff Timmer, Kaisch's delegate director in Michigan said the Cruz campaign broke their end of the deal when they tried to win all eight delegation seats.

He said they finished their slate of Trump and Kasich candidates about 10 minutes before walking into the delegation meeting.

Saul Anuzis is quoted as saying " To be clear, the Cruz campaign maintained all of their convention delegate spots today in Michigan. What's new is that John Kasich has decided to bypass any attempt to blur his rationale for staying in the race, and is now openly auditioning for Donald Trump's Vice President slot. That's the only possible reason for him to instruct his campaign to join forces with Trump for votes on convention committee assignments."

What really appears to have transpired Saturday in Michigan is that the Cruz campaign shot themselves in the foot in Michigan by not only trying to undermine the Trump campaign but also the Kasich campaign.  Dirty tricks seem to be the trend with the Cruz campaign.

The Questionable Resume of Rafael Cruz, Father Of Ted Cruz



Since Ted Cruz has made his father Rafael one of his primary campaign speakers, one should be able to look into his past to see if he is trust worthy or not.

Upon researching it is interesting to see that Rafael Cruz's resume doesn't seem to add up. Virtually every part of his biography has been disputed based on the facts.

For example, the True the Vote Summit website listed Rafael Cruz as “Director of Purifying Fire Ministries, ministering in the U.S., Mexico and Central America. He is also a professor of Bible and Theology, and the president of Kingdom Translation Services.” This is a common bio you will find provided on many websites or speaking events Rafael has attended, though sometimes differing in details, such as in spelling or names. Sometimes he is a “pastor” of a Dallas church, other times that is not mentioned.

There was no Purifying Fire Ministries that he was “director” of. It does not exist anywhere. There is no location for it anywhere. There are no remnants of a website somewhere. There is the Purifying Fire Ministries that was operated by Suzanne Hinn (the ex-wife of Charismaniac Benny Hinn), but the Cruz campaign has denied any connection with them, claiming that he “only used the name” for a little while before dropping it. Keep in mind, this “dropping” would have to have been pretty recent, because Rafael Cruz was being identified as “Director” of Purifying Fire Ministries as recently as January of this year.

Bizarrely, the Suzanne Hinn affiliated website was actually identified as belonging to Rafael Cruz in this speech he gave, despite the denials of any connection with the Purifying Fires franchise. That same website actually came down sometime early 2015.

Of course, Rafael Cruz has no church in Dallas either. He is a “one-man” pastor, which the campaign admits.

We find similar problems when we examine his “Presidency” at Kingdom Translation Services. It is a real business, it seems, where he is listed as both Director and President, and, in the past 3 years since it was founded, has only put out an audio bible of Rafael Cruz reading the Bible in Spanish. The address associated with this business takes you to a residential address— which all leads me to believe that Rafael Cruz is the Director and President of a business with probably just one employee, himself.

Rafael Cruz’s claim of being a Professor of Bible theology. 

“He’s also claimed to be President of Kingdom Translation Services (another one-man gig that he started a year ago), and a “professor of Bible and Theology”, first at Advance Institute, then Advanced Bible Institute, neither of which can be found… anywhere…”


All of this is just the tip of the iceberg. Cruz’s immigration story (he might either have broken immigration law or embellished his story), his life in Cuba, his “fire bombing” for Castro, of having witnessed certain revolutionaries die (when they were on the other side of Cuba), and so many other details, are all contradicted.

Donald Trump likes to call Ted Cruz - Lyin' Ted. Perhaps the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?

The Media Lied: Donald Trump Didn't Flub Matthews Abortion Question



Don't believe what you see in the media.  The media lynching has begun in earnest. That abortion question was asked with the sole intent to generate a sound byte and make Donald Trump look foolish. 

Here’s the full exchange between Donald Trump and Chris Matthews of MSNBC.  Trunmp actually make Chris Matthews look foolish.  

QUESTION: Hello. I am (inaudible) and have a question on, what is your stance on women’s rights and their right to choose in their own reproductive health?

TRUMP: OK, well look, I mean, as you know, I’m pro-life. Right, I think you know that, and I — with exceptions, with the three exceptions. But pretty much, that’s my stance. Is that OK? You understand?

MATTHEWS: What should the law be on abortion?

TRUMP: Well, I have been pro-life.

MATTHEWS: I know, what should the law — I know your principle, that’s a good value. But what should be the law?

TRUMP: Well, you know, they’ve set the law and frankly the judges — I mean, you’re going to have a very big election coming up for that reason, because you have judges where it’s a real tipping point.

MATTHEWS: I know.

TRUMP: And with the loss of (Supreme Court Justice Antonin) Scalia, who was a very strong conservative…

MATTHEWS: I understand.

TRUMP: … this presidential election is going to be very important, because when you say, “what’s the law, nobody knows what the law’s going to be. It depends on who gets elected, because somebody is going to appoint conservative judges and somebody is going to appoint liberal judges, depending on who wins.

MATTHEWS: I know. I never understood the pro-life position.

TRUMP: Well, a lot of people do understand.

MATTHEWS: I never understood it. Because I understand the principle, it’s human life as people see it.

TRUMP: Which it is.

MATTHEWS: But what crime is it?

TRUMP: Well, it’s human life.

MATTHEWS: No, should the woman be punished for having an abortion?

TRUMP: Look…

MATTHEWS: This is not something you can dodge.

TRUMP: It’s a — no, no…

MATTHEWS: If you say abortion is a crime or abortion is murder, you have to deal with it under law. Should abortion be punished?

TRUMP: Well, people in certain parts of the Republican Party and conservative Republicans would say, “yes, they should be punished.”

MATTHEWS: How about you?

TRUMP: I would say that it’s a very serious problem. And it’s a problem that we have to decide on. It’s very hard.

MATTHEWS: But you’re for banning it?

TRUMP: I’m going to say — well, wait. Are you going to say, put them in jail? Are you — is that the (inaudible) you’re talking about?

MATTHEWS: Well, no, I’m asking you because you say you want to ban it. What’s that mean?

TRUMP: I would — I am against — I am pro-life, yes.

MATTHEWS: What is ban — how do you ban abortion? How do you actually do it?

TRUMP: Well, you know, you go back to a position like they had where people will perhaps go to illegal places —

MATTHEWS: Yeah.

TRUMP: But you have to ban it.

MATTHEWS: You banning, they go to somebody who flunked out of medical school.

TRUMP: Are you Catholic?

MATTHEWS: Yes. I think…

TRUMP: And how do you feel about the Catholic Church’s position?

MATTHEWS: Well, I accept the teaching authority of my church on moral issues.

TRUMP: I know, but do you know their position on abortion?

MATTHEWS: Yes, I do.

TRUMP: And do you concur with that position?

MATTHEWS: I concur with their moral position but legally, I get to the question — here’s my problem with it…
(Laughter in the audience.)

TRUMP: No, no, but let me ask you, but what do you say about your Church?

MATTHEWS: It’s not funny.

TRUMP: Yes, it’s really not funny. What do you say about your church? They’re very, very strong.

MATTHEWS: They’re allowed to — but the churches make their moral judgments. But you running for president of the United States will be chief executive of the United States. Do you believe…

TRUMP: No, but…

MATTHEWS: Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no as a principle?

TRUMP: The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment.

MATTHEWS: For the woman.

TRUMP: Yeah, there has to be some form.

MATTHEWS: Ten cents? Ten years? What?

TRUMP: I don’t know. That I don’t know. That I don’t know.

MATTHEWS: Why not?

TRUMP: I don’t know.

MATTHEWS: You take positions on everything else.

TRUMP: Because I don’t want to — I frankly, I do take positions on everything else. It’s a very complicated position.

MATTHEWS: But you say, one, that you’re pro-life, meaning you want to ban it.

TRUMP: But wait a minute, wait a minute. But the Catholic Church is pro-life.

MATTHEWS: No, let’s not talk about my religion.

TRUMP: No, no, I am talking about your religion. Your religion — I mean, you say you’re a very good Catholic. Your religion is your life. Let me ask you this.

MATTHEWS: I didn’t say very good. I said I’m Catholic. And secondly, I’m asking — you’re running for president.

TRUMP: No, no…

MATTHEWS: I’m not.

TRUMP: Chris — Chris.

MATTHEWS: I’m asking you, what should a woman face if she chooses to have an abortion?

TRUMP: I’m not going to do that.

MATTHEWS: Why not?

TRUMP: I’m not going to play that game.

MATTHEWS: Game?

TRUMP: You have…

MATTHEWS: You said you’re pro-life.

TRUMP: I am pro-life.

MATTHEWS: That means banning abortion.

TRUMP: And so is the Catholic Church pro-life.

MATTHEWS: But they don’t control the — this isn’t Spain, the church doesn’t control the government.

TRUMP: What is the punishment under the Catholic Church? What is the…

MATTHEWS: Let me give something from the New Testament, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Don’t ask me about my religion.

TRUMP: No, no…

MATTHEWS: I’m asking you. You want to be president of the United States.

TRUMP: You told me that…

MATTHEWS: You tell me what the law should be.

TRUMP: I have — I have not determined…

MATTHEWS: Just tell me what the law should be. You say you’re pro-life.

TRUMP: I am pro-life.

MATTHEWS: What’s that mean?

TRUMP: With exceptions. I am pro-life. I have not determined what the punishment would be.

MATTHEWS: Why not?

TRUMP: Because I haven’t determined it.

MATTHEWS: When you decide to be pro-life, you should have thought of it. Because…

TRUMP: No, you could ask anybody who is pro-life…

MATTHEWS: OK, here’s the problem — here’s my problem with this. If you don’t have a punishment for abortion — I don’t believe in it, of course — people are going to find a way to have an abortion.

TRUMP: You don’t believe in what?

MATTHEWS: I don’t believe in punishing anybody for having an abortion.

TRUMP: OK, fine. OK.

MATTHEWS: Of course not. I think it’s a woman’s choice.

TRUMP: So you’re against the teachings of your church?

MATTHEWS: I have a view — and a moral view. But I believe we live in a free country, and I don’t want to live in a country so fascistic that it could stop a person from making that decision.

TRUMP: But then you are…

MATTHEWS: That would be so invasive…

TRUMP: I know, but I’ve heard you speaking…

MATTHEWS: So determined of a society that I wouldn’t be able — one we are familiar with. And Donald Trump, you wouldn’t be familiar with.

TRUMP: But I’ve heard you speaking so highly about your religion and your church.

MATTHEWS: Yeah.

TRUMP: Your church is very, very strongly, as you know, pro-life.
MATTHEWS: I know.

TRUMP: What do you say to your church?

MATTHEWS: I say, I accept your moral authority. In the United States, the people make the decision, the courts rule on what’s in the Constitution, and we live by that. That’s why I say.

TRUMP: Yes, but you don’t live by it because you don’t accept it. You can’t accept it. You can’t accept it. You can’t accept it.

MATTHEWS: Can we go back to matters of the law and running for president because matters of the law, what I’m talking about, and this is the difficult situation you’ve placed yourself in.
By saying you’re pro-life, you mean you want to ban abortion. How do you ban abortion without some kind of sanction? Then you get in that very tricky question of a sanction, a fine on human life, which you call murder?

TRUMP: It will have to be determined.

MATTHEWS: A fine, imprisonment for a young woman who finds herself pregnant?

TRUMP: It will have to be determined.

MATTHEWS: What about the guy that gets her pregnant? Is he responsible under the law for these abortions? Or is he not responsible for an abortion?

TRUMP: Well, it hasn’t — it hasn’t — different feelings, different people. I would say no.


MATTHEWS: Well, they’re usually involved.

Rapper Goes On Racist Rant On Sarah Palin

Palin / Banks


In a string of early-morning tweets on Sunday, talentless rapper Azealia Banks called for Sarah Palin to be brutally gang-raped by a group of black men.


Screenshots of the tweets (which Banks later deleted) were captured by the Media Research Center’s Ashley Rae Goldenberg.




This is isn't the first time Banks has gone on a racist rant on twitter, in December 2014, she went on a racist rampage demanding $100 trillion. 

Sarah Palin responded to Banks by writing the following post on her face book page:

"Hey Female Rapper – listen up, little darling," Palin responded on Facebook on Tuesday, April 5. "No one has any idea what you're wigging out about in these bizarre, violent rants against me, but you're obviously not exercising enough intelligence to acknowledge you've been sucked into believing some fake interview in which I supposedly offered comments representing the antithesis of my truth,” the former governor of Alaska wrote.

“And now I'll go through my young daughter's playlist to make sure there hasn't been any inadvertent addition of any anti-woman, pro-rape garbage that you seem to endorse, which perpetuates the cultural challenges we face in America. I encourage other parents to do the same.” Palin concluded her post: “God bless you Ms. Banks, as you consider a change of heart.”

Sarah Palin is currently considering a legal lawsuit against Banks for her malicious comments that could lead to violence.

Why This Hispanic Woman Supports Donald Trump

La Luz Saenz
The media is working overtime in trying to make Donald Trump look like a racist and a misogynist.  They continuously lookover all the women and minorities that support Trump.   

Here is one such  example of a minority who also happens to be a woman.  La Luz Saenz is a legal immigrant who came here as a child and grew up in poverty.  She never gave up and believed in the American Dream that she now sees being stolen away by a corrupt runaway government.  This is what La Luz Saenz posted on Facebook:
  


I am a Christian Hispanic attorney and former judge who came from Colombia S.A. as a legal immigrant and grew up in poverty. I live the American Dream because I was born in 1960 and I learned that if I worked really hard I could become successful in the USA. I learned to Never give up. I learned American History!

I support Trump 100% because he and Dr. Ben Carson are the only Candidates who speak out the truth about the current political regime within both republican and democratic parties. We the people are being kept in the dark about the corrupt Government that is currently in place. I liken these parties to the Pharisees and Sadducees of Jesus' time in the New Testament. I have done lots of research with my attorney husband John on the presidential candidates. We have been in prayer that the USA WOULD RETURN TO THE CONSTITUTION THAT WAS FOUNDED BY God fearing men. This law of the land works because it's founded on Godly principles. We had to take a full year of Constitution in law school to become lawyers and I summer clerked for Judge Blackburn at the Ga Court of Appeals where
research occurred daily to search out veracity (truth).

I also prayerfully researched for truth as I presided as a Juvenile Court Judge. I know Dr. Ben Carson has done the same before endorsing Trump; he is a Godly man who prays for God's wisdom. To return to the Constitution we have to take out the current political establishment, -as it is for the politicians instead of for the people. Both parties have career politicians who want to continue to hang onto their power, prestige and (our hard earned tax $) money (much like the Pharisees and Sadducees from the New Testament).

We need a candidate like Trump who sees the root of the problem in our nation and who is willing to work hard to make America great again!
Remember---God is our CEO not man and it is God who is in control of this great nation. I encourage you to do your own research and avoid the media's biased opinions. And dear friends please let's pray for Trump. ❤ God is for us all!❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Ps because I has to work at age 16 I had to take my GED .


Now I have a JD from John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, GA and a BA in Special Education from Georgian Court University in NJ. Make America Great again Mr. Trump! Viva Presidente Trump!

A Sex Scandal About To Explode On John Kasich?



An E-mail sent to an unknown number of media outlets could lead to a sex scandal bombshell for John Kasich.  The e-mail states that John Kasich is a closet gay man.  

Here is the e-mail:

From: German Village Gadfly <germanvillagegadfly@gmail.com>
Subject: John Kasich and Gay Hypocrisy
To: germanvillagegadfly@gmail.com
To Whom It May Concern:

Someone should be looking into the likely Republican nominee for governor. John Kasich is another one of the those “pro-family” Republicans who is gay. He’s voted against gay marriage and gay adoption but is well known to be a homosexual and to surround himself with equally hypocritical gays.

This has been an open secret for almost 18 years. Kasich is married with young twins, but he only recently was married.


– While in Congress Kasich lived with his chief of staff, Don Thibaut (gay), in Washington DC for 14 years. This has been published extensively and a member of Congress even called for an investigation into it.

– While in Congress, Kasich used to fly home on Thursdays for dinner at an italian restaurant in Columbus called Rapollo’s. He dined every Thursday with the same two young men. A current Democratic state senator from Southeast Ohio used to wait on him regularly. Today, Kasich denies ever setting foot in Rapollo’s or even hearing of it.

– Don Thibaut now lives in German Village in Columbus. Kasich is a frequent after hours visitor there.

– Kasich’s campaign is being run by gay men. His team consists of Doug Preisse (openly gay). Preisse came out two years ago in a Columbus Dispatch article. He is also chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party. He is a protégé of Alex Arshinkoff, a notorious gay from Akron who chairs the Summit County Republican Party.



Arshinkoff is also on the Kaisch campaign team. He has been pulled over by police after picking up a young man at 2:30am in Akron and soliciting him for sex. There is a police report and it’s been published in several papers. He’s also regularly spotted in gay bars in Cleveland. It is well known around Columbus that Arshinkoff made a sexual advance toward one of his local state senators while driving him in his corvette including groping his leg.

These issues are further complicated because not only did Governor Kasich oppose the Gay Marriage Amendment to Ohio’s state constitution approved by voters in 2004, but he now opposes any efforts to push back against the Supreme Court’s historic pro-gay marriage ruling. In fact, he has even attended gay weddings:

“The court has ruled, and I said we’ll accept it,” Kasich said in Cleveland during the GOP’s first presidential debate, in response to a question about how he would explain his position on same-sex marriage to one of his daughters if she were gay.

“And guess what, I just went to a wedding of a friend of mine who happens to be gay,” Kasich continued, drawing applause from a home-court audience at The Q.

“Because somebody doesn’t think the way I do doesn’t mean that I can’t care about them or can’t love them. So if one of my daughters happened to be that, of course I would love them and I would accept them,” he added, the applause growing louder. “Because you know what? That’s what we’re taught when we have strong faith.”

Don Thibaut and Kasich have been friends for decades. Don spent nearly 20 years as Kasich’s chief-of-staff and occasional roommate when Kasich was in Congress.

When Kasich left congress he help set up multiple political funds under the “New Century Project” moniker that paid Thibaut and other former aides $500,000 each for three years of work.

When Kasich later got a part time job making $50K/yr to work 1 hour a month giving lectures to OSU students, Thibaut was included in the contract, making $20K/year from OSU as Kasich’s “aide”.

Alex R. Arshinkoff, who was outed by the Cleveland weekly Scene in June, 2003.

The paper reported accounts of Arshinkoff’s presence at Cleveland area gay bars, including the Leather Stallion and the Grid.

"Arshinkoff’s vanity license plate ARA‑1 has been seen in Akron gay bar parking lots and cruising areas for years.

According to a December 27, 2002 Akron police report, Arshinkoff picked up a 21-year-old male Kent State student who was stranded and needed to get home.

The report says Arshinkoff asked the student if he was gay or bi, then began rubbing his thigh and grabbing his crotch, asking the young man if he wanted to make some money.

An officer saw the student jump out of the car, but let Arshinkoff go and police never investigated further.

A second incident concerned a sexual harassment complaint reported to a deputy clerk of the Summit County Board of Elections by a former Municipal Court employee, also male. No charges were filed."

Oakland County Michigan Reduces Its Precinct Delegates Leads To Online War

Matt Maddock
Due to the vacancies in the Oakland County Precinct Delegate positions the Oakland County Republican Party Chair, Theresa Mungioli, submitted the new delegate allotment for the 2016-2018 term.  There is a group that is not happy with that allotment as it is a reduction from previous terms.  

Here is what former Senate Candidate and leader of the group Battle Cry Matt Maddock had to say:

Breaking News.....Oakland county Republican Party Chair Theresa Mungioli just cut 503 precinct Unfortunately this final gasp will only weaken our great party. Very sad.delegate positions while at the same time admonishes grassroots activists for recruiting delegates and growing our "boots on the ground" delegate base. The only reason they are cutting delegates is because they are losing. This is their final gasp.

The fear though has been with all these open vacancies for outsiders, such as Democrats and Libertarians to come in  and wreck havoc within the party.  Already there has been a reported influx of Libertarians taking these vacancies to infiltrate the Oakland Republican party and this is probably also happening statewide and nationwide.

The Republican Party in Michigan narrows the options for voters as it pertains to the Secretary of State, Attorney General, Judges as well as College Trustees and Regents.  

Early this afternoon, the Oakland County Republican Chair - Theresa Mungioli issued the following Statement



Dear Oakland County Precinct Delegates,

Theresa Mungioli
Today I submitted the Oakland County Precinct Delegate allotment for the 2016-2018 election cycle. The number is lower than it is today. This was not an easy decision to make, however after the County Convention last week and everyone that wanted to go the State Convention was elected, it was one that made sense. For the past several years I have heard complaints about why are there more PDs than spots to the State Convention. We elect 306 Delegates and 306 Alternates to the State Convention. This past County Convention was the first time in many years that there has not been an argument over who should go to the State Convention. We were able to elect everyone that wanted to go and even elect guests to open spots. Only the 14th District filled all Delegate and Alternate spots. There are almost 100 Alternate spots open between the other three districts.

Decisions are not made based on stories alone, so let me share some information and numbers with you:

Michigan Law (MCL 168.623a) designates the County Party Chairman is responsible for determining the Precinct Delegate allocation using a formula based on the 2014 vote for Secretary of State. This is not a new law and has been implemented by County Chairs for over 20 years. The process must be uniformly applied across all precincts in the county.

Today there are 903 elected Precinct Delegates (PD). There are 1700 allocations. So approximately 53% of the PD spots are full.

The numbers this year would change based on the 2014 Secretary of State vote, new precincts created in some communities and PDs that moved or choose not to be involved.

At the recent County Convention, only 435 PDs attended the convention – around 50%.

Many PDs have not been involved since they were elected. They ran to support a candidate in 2014, we have not seen or heard from them since then and they may not seek re-election. PD positions are for grassroots activists, people who want to be involved and help the Republican Party elect its candidates, not just for one issue/candidate and disappear. You are the grassroots and know the active PDs in your community.

Some will complain that I am preventing the grassroots activists from getting involved. And they are entitled to their opinion. The reason for changing the number is as simple as what I laid out above and not some conspiracy theory to keep you from being elected. We have a strong base of grassroots conservative PDs in Oakland County and we need to keep those that want to be involved active in the party. For those that prefer a short term role, there are many other volunteer opportunities available.

With the race in your local precinct, it is up to the voters to elect the best representative for your precinct. And when we get to the county convention, we can select our delegates and alternates to the state convention. OCRP is not going to public events to recruit PDs to run against you or create contested races, unlike other activists. We will host PD campaign class so you can run an effective campaign in your precinct. More details will be shared in the coming weeks.

I know you have questions and want the opportunity to be heard. Please contact me at chair@oaklandgop.net and I will answer your questions. As I get your questions, I will put together a PD newsletter to address them as well. I will also be coming to your community to get you to sign up again as a Precinct Delegate. Watch for an email announcing where we can meet.

Thank you for all you do for the Republican Party. I look forward to working with you.

Yours in freedom and liberty,
Theresa Mungioli

OCRP Chairman

Even with the reduction of delegates the facts that remain are 1) that anyone can run for a delegate and 2) you have to put in the effort to win the seat.   

Perhaps the reason some are complaining so loudly is that they will now have to work for their seat and isn't that what conservatism is about,  hard work and earning your position through merit?
