How to aid Trump and begin taking back our stolen rights.

How to aid Trump and begin taking back our stolen rights.

SAVE for the 2026 - 2028 Elections;

Here is a way to bypass the corrupt and progressive owned media. It would cost about $30.00 per person, more or less depending on how many postcards you would send out in your district. 
The way is to write a simple but verifiable message on a regular prepaid postcard, with the message tailored to the Districts where the Progressives are going to be stumping to get re-elected. 
Simply set up a small but damning list of 3 or 4 critical issues where the Incumbent Democrat or RINO candidate has betrayed the public trust they are supposed to be representing, and end with the comment "Are you sure you you want to allow this to continue?" 
All postcards should be sent out about a week amnd a half before the Primary Elections, with a suggestion for a fully vetted challenger candidate in the case of RINO's, and a fully vetted write in candidate for the Progressive Democrats. 
The next wave of postcards should be sent out a week before the Regular election, with the vetted candidates promoted who are challenging the Incumbents. 
Do Not send write ins against the RINO's who made it through the primary process as that would split the vote.  
These postcards should have as the final line on them; Please tell all of your friends about this and/or send some postcards out to them as well.
 
Sample Format for main elections in 2028;
Postcard 1,
RepSen X voted for bill Y that's cost the people their rights.
(EXAMPLE);
Rep/Sen x voted against Picture ID for voting.
Rep/Sen x voted against Election Reform measures that would eliminate voter fraud.
Tailor the cards to what the most controversial issues are at the time for the Primaries
Rep/Sen x voted against the peoples wishes on bad Gun Control that will take away Constitutional Rights and make people easier victims.
Sen x voted against protecting the borders.
Rep/Sen x voted for Green Energy Production, GreenBatteries etc. that produces up to 10 to 20 times the pollution as conventional sources, and 100 times the toxic poisons in the disposal of used up elements.
 
Postcard 2 for All Primaries in 2026 - 2028;
(Example);
Rep/Sen x voted for a spending bill that lifted the debt ceiling and will cost the taxpayers an unknown amount more in taxes.
Rep/Sen x voted for a bill that gives Trans right to use any bathroom or play on any team.
Rep/Sen x voted for forced vaccinations.
 
List the most outrageous transgressions the official has done on these cards!!!
 
Of course the samples will have to be researched and tailored specifically for every State and every District to have valid information contained within them. the Progressives will not be able to discredit actual facts and figures in their controlled media at that late a date. Imagine if just 2% of the conservatives at large, did this, and of that sending another 2% of those who received it passed the information on, and so on and so on.

Ramblings on the 14th Amendment

Posted by The Tradesman on December 12, 2024 at 2:22pm

14th Amendment are you Pro or Con and why?

part 1

I believe the 14th Amendment and the way it was forced on the Southern states basically at gun point by Congress citing they had to ratify it to again be recognized in the Congress, was the beginning of the end for States Rights. Don't forget the Civil War was originally fought over the question of States Rights, and not over slavery.
 
 
  • Here's something I found that explains my position even better than I could; Part 1
    The problem with the 14th Amendment is the premise under it that imply's; "WE ARE ALL U.S. citizens, under the 14th amendment. There are NO STATE Citizens." That, and that alone gives the Federal Government the FALSE and UNENUMERATED authority to do what they want. Given the Language of the Constitution and the meanings that prevailed then, that statement can not be construed as a legally valid statement! 
    Strictly speaking the 14th Amendment was the one that Quietly took away states Rights and was Unconstitutionally passed. 
    The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution should be held ineffective, invalid, and unconstitutional for the following reasons:
    1. The Joint Resolution proposing said amendment was not submitted to or adopted by a Constitutional Congress per Article I, Section 3, and Article V of the U. S. Constitution.
    2. The Joint Resolution was not submitted to the President for his approval as required by Article I, Section 7 of the U. S. Constitution.
    3. The proposed 14th Amendment was rejected by more than one-fourth of all the States then in the Union, and it was never ratified by three-fourths of all the States in the Union as required by Article V of the U. S. Constitution. The federal courts are not ready to give consideration to the subject, because the U. S. Supreme Court and inferior courts have used the the 14th Amendment to enlarge upon their ungranted powers without limit or reserve. To read a complete treatise on this and on the most comprehensive research and documentation of every angle in the unlawful procedures, check out this link;http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html it's a long but informative read.

    Consider this about the flawed ratification of the 14th amendment as the most critical points cited in the article;
    A) New Jersey was disenfranchised in the Senate by having its lawfully elected Senator accepted, and then rejected, and without a 2/3rds vote;
    B) Oregon's faulty ratification vote with unlawful state legislators being allowed to cast votes; and the lawfully constituted state legislature then rejecting the Fourteenth, but too late.
    C) Non-republican [Reconstruction] governments of the southern States imposed by military force and fiat, cannot ratify anything. Either the Fourteenth is legal and the anti-slavery amendment is not, or the anti-slavery amendment is legal and the Fourteenth is not. 

    Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution provides two things; Every bill which shall have been passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States Congress, AND:
    "Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him shall be re-passed by two-thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill." 
    The Joint Resolution proposing the 14th Amendment (http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html#cite9 ) was never presented to the President of the United States for his approval, as President Andrew Johnson stated in his message on June 22, 1866 (http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html#cite9 ). 
    Therefore, the Joint Resolution did not take effect.

    It may be helpful to know that the 14th amendment proclamations of July 20, 1868, (http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html#cite51 ), and July 28, 1868, (http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html#cite53), were issued as Presidential Executive Orders.

    Presidential Executive Order No. 6 **, issued July 20, 1868. Ratification of the 14th Amendment certified as valid, provided the consent of Ohio and New Jersey be deemed as remaining in force despite subsequent withdrawal. **Signed by William H. Seward, Secretary of State. Has the form of a proclamation.

    Presidential Executive Order No. 7 **, issued July 28, 1868. 14th Amendment certified as in effect and ordered published. **Signed by William H. Seward, Secretary of State.

    From Presidential Executive Order Title List -- Presidential Executive Orders, 2 vols. (N.Y.: Books, Inc., 1944 Copyright by Mayor of N.Y. 1944), vol. 1, pp. 1-2.

    In this light the 14th (amendment), which has perplexed many, is an Executive Order, not an (Article) of Amendment to the Constitution of the united States of America, albeit a statute and so remains an Executive Order.
    ( above information is from barefootsworld.net research pages and reposted here for general information and education on the subject).

    Another challenge to the Article V Constitutionality of the Ratification of the 14th Amendment under it's requirements is that it only permits Congress to propose amendments whenever two thirds of both houses deem it necessary. that can and should be considered as two thirds of both houses as they were constituted before the forcible ejections caused by Reconstruction laws. Add to that, Congress violated Constitutional Requirements by depriving the Southern States of their equal suffrage in the Senate (The provision is; " no State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate." )and there are no exceptions to that in the article one's Constitutional Language, therefore it was forbidden for the then 'fragmentary congress' to do that. In fact the plain language within the Article is incontrovertible and not open to interpretation. It is not in the purview of Courts, or the Legislative bodies of either Federal or State governments to alter the fixed Constitutional methods of proper legal ratification of an Amendment.

    Neither you, nor a court, nor a legislative body, can raise an illegally proposed or illegally ratified amendment to the force of legal authority as part and parcel of the constitution if it is not legally ratified by any of the methods required by Article V. There is no such thing as an Amendment by congressional waiver, nor by Laches ( failure to do something at the proper time, especially such delay that will bar a party from bringing a legal proceeding). Congress cannot acquiesce an amendment into being, in fact you cannot give an amendment power by any means but the specific means set down in Article V of the Constitution.

     
    Part 2;
    When the mandatory provisions of the Constitution are violated, the Constitution itself strikes with nullity the Act that did violence to its provisions. Thus, the Constitution strikes with nullity the purported 14th Amendment.
    The Courts, bound by oath to support the Constitution, should review all of the evidence herein submitted and measure the facts proving violations of the mandatory provisions of the Constitution with Article V, and finally render judgment declaring said purported amendment never to have been adopted as required by the Constitution.
    The Constitution makes it the sworn duty of the judges to uphold the Constitution which strikes with nullity the 14th Amendment.
    And, as Chief Justice Marshall pointed out for a unanimous Court in Marbury v. Madison (1 Cranch 136 at 179):
    "The framers of the constitution contemplated the instrument as a rule for the government of courts, as well as of the legislature."
    "Why does a judge swear to discharge his duties agreeably to the constitution of the United States, if that constitution forms no rule for his government?"
    "If such be the real state of things, that is worse than solemn mockery. To prescribe, or to take this oath, becomes equally a crime."
    "Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument."
    The federal courts actually refuse to hear argument on the invalidity of the 14th Amendment, even when the issue is presented squarely by the pleadings and the evidence as above.
    Only an aroused public sentiment in favor of preserving the Constitution and our institutions and freedoms under constitutional government, and the future security of our country, will break the political barrier which now prevents judicial consideration of the unconstitutionality of the 14th Amendment.
    A background on the 14th including the intent as stated by Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th and was reaffirmed by Senator Edward Cowan. 
    ( http://www.14thamendment.us/amendment/14th_amendment.html ) What are your views? Should it be "Repealed", or should "the Supreme Courts added intent of birthright citizenship for a child having "Foreign National Parents illegally in this country", by the highly Liberal Earl Warren Court be removed from it?"

God and American Beliefs

Posted by The Tradesman on December 10, 2024 at 7:28am

God and American Beliefs

The only way to save America and it's traditional values.

I fail to see why certain liberal people get so upset when anyone talks about or even says they believe in God. They seem to get even more upset when anyone talks about Jesus as their Savior and Redeemer. The true Marxist/Socialists are non-believers, and they want to impose their lack of belief on everyone else. They want that because they want to be considered the highest power anywhere. America over the last two or three decades, has been slipping into the idea that there is no God, and, the Ten Commandments are mythological/antique artifacts whose time has past.

I personally believe there is a Supreme Being. A being that our small minds can not understand. We universely call that being GOD. We use analogies to try and comprehend what the being we call GOD is. That's why we have so many diverse religions. The divisions between Religions, and how they view God, and in their rituals to honor God. That causes much friction. 
It's strange because every Religion considers there is only one true God. So, in actuality we who revere and honor God, are all praying to and trying to please the same Supreme Being.

In general, all the major religions, have some form of the 10 commandments as an integral part of their belief system. The non-believers also have a system that mimics, but does not work as well as the moral lessons of the Ten Commandments. Commandments we used to try to incorporate into, and practice in our society.

When you look at it from a civilization viewpoint, you see the Ten Commandments are the most concise ground rules for a workable human society, bar none. They work! The concepts behind them work. They stop abuse and excessive behavior on moral grounds. They teach Honesty and Integrity. They also teach honor. Our Societies adherence to them in spirit and fact, offers a benevolent moral and spiritual society.  What's wrong with that? 

At one time America was a stalwart Christian Nation. Believing in God, and keeping the Ten Commandments. Our Founders were mostly all Christian, or saw the impact to our fledgling nation as benefiting from the moral and social foundation that Christian morality provided. They also saw the need to keep the spiritual aspect incorporated in creating our laws, but not writing Christian Religious Dogma into law. Therefore they wrote into law, a seperation of church and state. This did not mean the United States would be godless, it meant the United States would not have a sanctioned formal State Religion like England had.

The watershed moment when rejection of our traditional values manifested publicly, was with the Madalyn Murray O'hare ruling. The ruling where the extremely liberal/left Supreme Court of Chief Justice Earl Warren, took God out of schools, and the purge of God from Federal, State, and Local government began. That was the beginning of what some say immoral, and what some say Godless, decisions of courts and law makers began. It won't end until America takes God back into the process and returns to 'letting but not forcing' God back in schools and other government functions, then using the Ten Commandments as moral guidelines for laws and regulations we live by.

We Must Reform or Lose

Posted by The Tradesman on December 10, 2024 at 7:20am

 

We Must Reform or Lose

Today, we need to re-evaluate our position on what this country needs to do, to reform itself back to the original intent of the Founders. The Founding Principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence, were categorized in the creation of the Constitution. Though it was a wonder in it's time, it still had many problems then, as it does now. That is the reason the Founders included Article-V. 

Just as the authority was given by act of Congress to revise the Articles of the Confederation of the Perpetual Union, it also gave a One Time Authorization, to the delegates of what became the Constitutional Convention. Article-V gives the Congress, and also the people through their States, the rights to amend, not the wording of the Constitution, but the way the Justice System interprets the intent of that wording. On how to apply Constitutional Law to every law, regulation, or practice. 

Article-V allows Federal Legislators authority to correct any problem the changing times creates. It also gives the people the 'Supreme Authority' to overrule their own government. So far our government, through the actions of Congress, has modified the intent of the Constitution 27 times. 

There have been approximately 11,000 other Amendments proposed and never ratified by the people into law. Affirming the people as the highest authority in the land, they have the final say on how they will govern themselves. 
(https://constitutionus.com/constitution/amendments/constitutional-amendments/) It is what keeps our Representatives from becoming our Overlords and Task Masters.

We have all seen how the Government has incrementally but consistently moved forward inserting itself as the ruler in our lives, instead of it's proper designated role as our servant.

We have seen how President Trump tried to reform the Federal Government. Likewise we have also seen how quick the embedded elements who created the usurpation of the peoples legitimate power, changed them back by edict or executive order. We can no longer allow that to happen. We can no longer believe our Federal Government will act in our best interests instead of their own.

The only way to take back our rightful authority is through the Amendment Process. The process is so lengthy and complicated to make it hard to change the interpretation of the Constitution for trivial reasons, and acts as a check and balance. The Congress has the authority to create laws, but those laws are constrained by Constitutional Limitations. The limitations are the checks and balances on Congressional law making powers.

Congress has seen fit to create all of the 27 amendments/changes interpreting the Constitution, since the Constitution was originally ratified. Strangely enough, the people through their States, have not had an amendment convention to propose/repeal amendments. In fact this action has been discouraged by many politically active naysayers over the years. If the people finally did Demand and Get a proposal convention, the main losers would be the Congressional powers taken from the people by some of the Congressionally proposed Amendments. 

As an example; The 17th Amendment gave people the right to vote for Senators. Until then, the Senators by Constitutional Law, were appointed Representatives of their respective States Legislatures under the Sherman Compromise, to insure Equal Representation in Congress, of every State in America regardless of it's population and size. Since the 17th was ratified, the Senators have devolved into representatives of their political parties and party agendas, instead of representing the People or the States in Congress to Congress.
My position is, this Amendment should be repealed like the 18th was repealed.

Another amendment which would benefit the people and their States, would be to get a term limit amendment ratified that included: 
Pay to be voted on by the people instead of allowing Congress to just give themselves a raise. 

Retirement and healthcare packages for Congress to be the same as given to the people by Social Security/Medicare, but not to disallow any private packages personally paid for by the individual, but independent from Government funds. 

Modifying the 14th amendment due process clause to forbid Anchor Babies. 
Preventing Congress from giving funds from social/welfare programs,et.al.to any illegal alien/s 

Eliminating the Federal Reserve and return money creation back to the Treasury under the original Tresury rules and regulations. All laws rules and regulations to be written in common language understood by average Americans. 

Allowing the Legal American Citizen Voters to overturn any law or ruling by a 70% vote against it in a scheduled or special election. 

Plus any more proposals the people may want to see. 

Those posibilities are why a States called Convention, is the greatest fear of the hidebound politician or political party. They would lose their say in how we decided to govern ourselves, and turn back into mere representatives of our wishes.

To preserve the Union, we must demand our State Legislatures petition Congress for an Article-V convention.

"Because You're Here!"

Posted by The Tradesman on February 2, 2024 at 5:03am

Source; Oren Long

There is much angst over why the people in the Mid-East fight us so viciously.  "Why are they so against us when all we're doing is trying to help them?" is the prevailing Western attitude.  
 
We don't get it and, I suspect, CANNOT get it.  It is far outside our reality.  It isn't that we DON'T get it; it's that we WON'T get it.  
 
I served a year in the Mid-East.  I get it.  
 
First, we must understand that the Mid-East has been 'on fire' for millennia.  The Greeks figured it out.  The Romans figured it out.  Even the Russians figured it out.  Now it's our turn.  
 
Muslims, Christians, and Jews have been at each others' throats in the Mid-East throughout recorded history-- AND PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL BE!  
 
THEY DON'T WANT US THERE, PERIOD!  It's their problem and they will deal with it as they -- NOT US -- please.  
 
As long as America and other countries 'assume' that we 'know best', they will resist and fight.  
 
This is best exemplified in a movie I saw years ago concerning the American Civil War.  In the movie, a Union and Confederate soldier confronted each other away from their units.  They talked.  In one scene the Union soldier asked the Confederate soldier why the South was fighting so hard.  The Confederate put it perfectly,  "BECAUSE YOU'RE HERE!".  
 
How would Americans feel if foreign countries imposed their rules, values, standards, morality, etc. on us by force of arms?  We would FIGHT!  "It's none of their damned business!  Get out!.  We'll settle it ourselves!  GET OUT!"  
 
Personally, and having been there, I have long believed that we just need to let them deal with the mess they have made.  
 
Yes, we can trade with them, but that's about all we can do.  
 
On the flip side, we CAN let them know that if they attack Israel, America, or any of our sworn allies and friends, HELL ITSELF will be unleashed upon them!  
 
Other than that, there is nothing we can do.  They broke it and it's up to them to fix it.  If they want to live in a state of perpetual war, well, too bad for them.

How Did We Become A House Divided?

How Did We Become a House Divided?
An Open Letter to All Those Suffering from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome);
Supporters of Black Lives Matter, On the Payroll of George Sorus
and Admirers of Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx
 
By:  E.P. Unum
January 14, 2024
 
Dear Malcontents, the Seemingly Oppressed and Misguided Students:
 
I just have a few questions for you.  I already know you don't like President Trump and feel that he is the cause of all your problems, including, but not limited to, the Great Flood, Noah’s Lost Ark, the Black Death of the Middle Ages, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and Vietnam and the many other trials and tribulations of mankind. You feel this way because that is what you have been told by the paid-for liberal media, who have lost all sense and discipline of what it means to be a journalist, your socialist/communist college professors, and the cancel culture crowd, hell-bent on destroying everything about our nation.  I get all of that.  I don’t accept it, but I understand you think you are upset and are feeling oppressed.  Hell’s bells, Trump was in government for four years while Joe Biden has been in government 53 years, Nancy Pelosi 47 years, Chuck Schumer 44 years, Gerry Nadler 41 years, and Adam Schiff 27 years, so Trump must be at the heart of all the problems because things were fine up until Trump arrived, right?
 
I feel for you and I would like your help in trying to understand why there is such a huge schism….a division in America.  How did we become a house divided?  I’d like to understand how it all started and why you blame President Trump for this.
 
So, reflecting on a bit of actual (not revisionist) history, here are my questions:
 
• Did this division in America and among Americans start when none (as in zero) of the Democrats showed up for President Trump's Inauguration on January 20, 2017?  Was that the date when the division began?  He hadn't even taken the Oath of Office, and except for the Clintons and Obamas, not one Democrat showed up. Is that when Trump divided America? Do you think it was respectful on the part of Democrats to not show up for the traditional transition of power from one Administration to the next?  Can you imagine if the Republicans didn't show up for Obama's inauguration because they lost?   I can’t because, in the neighborhood where I grew up, you would be considered sore losers if you did something like that.  But, what I did see was women marching in Washington wearing pink vagina hats and screaming obscenities against Trump because they suddenly and inexplicably developed a hatred for the man without ever giving him a chance to demonstrate what he could do for America…and all Americans!  But was this part of the division we are experiencing in our country?
 
• But perhaps it can be narrowed down a bit more precisely.  Did the division in America begin when 19 minutes after Trump was inaugurated, the Washington Post declared the Impeachment Campaign had Started? Was that when Trump divided America?
 
• Did this great schism that divides us begin when Nancy Pelosi ripped up Trump's State of the Union Address right in front of the entire world, showing complete disrespect for the President of the United States and the Office he holds? Did that one self-serving, hateful, and ridiculous act bring the country together, or was that the point when Trump divided America?
 
• Did the division occur when America had to endure, 3 years and over $40 million dollars spent on investigations and hearings trying to prove that Trump won the 2016 election because of Russian Collusion (whatever that is) and not because America voted him into office?  Or did the division occur when  17 democrats did everything in their power, including spying on President Trump before, during and after his election, in an attempt to prove that there was collaboration with Russia and that he was…wait for it….a Russian Agent...and came up with zero evidence to support their contentions! Was that when Trump divided America?
 
• Do any of you remember, the donors, people like Michael Bloomberg, who gave $27 million, Tom Steyer who gave $17 million, George Soros who gave $9 million and dozens of Hollywood Stars and Liberal Corporate Executives who gave multi-million dollars to Hillary Clinton, and now wanted a return on their investment?  How do you think the Russians felt after they had forked over $145 million to the Clinton Foundation?  Do you think that kind of financial assistance was simply because they thoroughly liked and respected Hillary?  Do you realize that the Russians, the people President Trump was accused of collaborating with, made zero, zilch, nada donations to the Trump campaign?  Yet, President Trump was the one who was investigated!  Was that when Trump divided America?
 
• Do you really think that all these donors who had given hundreds of millions of dollars did so just because they love and adore Hillary?  Wealthy, successful business people don’t do that.  These weren't campaign donations, they were investments into what Hillary had promised them when she became president. They were so sure she would win and they would be showered with huge returns, and when that didn't happen, and they realized their investments were lost, they went all out to take Trump out of office by any means possible.  Oh, and by the way, did you know that 90% of the Mainstream media and the corporations that own them are owned by or run by large Democrat Voters? You can verify all of that for yourselves...I did.  But, I digress.  Let me ask the question: was this when Trump divided America?
 
• Since the moment Trump won, and even before he was inaugurated, the mainstream media's reporting was 92% negative on Trump.  Do you know why?  Well, one reason surely might be that all those big donors who lost millions of dollars on their investments in support of Hillary’s quest to become President, suddenly had zero chance of getting a return on that investment when Hillary lost!.  These folks weren't going to take that loss lightly. They needed to punish Trump and those that voted for him.  They realized that Trump could not be controlled by them like Hillary could, and so they were faced with the only possible solution: they needed to find a way of getting him out of office.  And that way was a bloodless coups d’etat…impeachment.  And on the road to impeachment they would stand fast at being uncooperative with any Trump initiatives.  The result was a totally dysfunctional government in terms of getting legislation enacted.  But that didn’t stop Trump.  Despite this, he built the greatest economy our country has ever seen, got NATO to finally contribute its fair share and rebuilt the U.S. military to the strongest force in the world!  But all of you suffering from TDS still hate him! Why is that? It just doesn’t seem logical!
 
I've said this since the night Trump was elected..."There is nothing the left won't do to take down our President, our country, and us; no low to which they won't go to get their power back".  Sadly, we have seen this every single day since his election.  There was no clearer illustration of this than when Democrats lined up to cast filthy accusations against Judge Kavanagh trying to prevent him from becoming a Justice of the Supreme Court for which he is eminently qualified and deserving.  They levied baseless, fraudulent accusations without a shred of evidence mind you, charging Kavanaugh with sexual molestation, causing him and his family tremendous anxiety and embarrassment.  Thank God Judge Kavanaugh had the quality of character and integrity to face these accusations squarely and with the competence that will make him a successful Associate Justice of our Supreme Court.  But was this chapter in the Trump Presidency when the great division in our country began?
 
Then there were the two failed impeachments of Trump, both based on fictitious evidence, in a quest to remove Trump from office.  Was this when Trump divided our nation?
 
Let me ask you this...Have you ever listened to Trump or appreciated any accomplishments or campaign promises he's kept?  Have you ever gone to one of his rallies or have you just closed your mind to anything he does?  You do realize, I hope, that if you objectively evaluated Bidenomics and measured it against the economic results of the Trump administration you would find that there really is no comparison.  Trump wins hands down!
 
Have you looked into the wonderful things Trump has done for everyday people like you and me, without fanfare or publicity?  His good works are legion and the stuff of which movies are made.  Trust me.  I know…firsthand!.  Do you know that he served our nation as President and did not accept a single penny for his work, opting to donate his entire salary of $400,000 per year ($1.6 million) to various charities and causes like Wounded Warriors, Disabled Veterans, the Interior, etc?  Did President Obama ever do this?  Did Joe Biden ever do this in any of the 53 years he has been in government?  Has anyone serving as President ever done this?  Are you aware that President Trump, without fanfare or media attention, visited Arlington National Cemetery, alone, sometimes when it was cold and raining, solely to pay respect to our fallen heroes?
 
Please ask yourselves the following questions:
·      What has Joe Biden done for America for the last 53 years that he's held an office?
·      What did Joe Biden ever do for Black Americans when he and Obama were in office?
·      What has Joe Biden ever done in his entire life to create a private-sector job?
·      What has Joe Biden done to help the American middle-class worker?
·      What has Barack Obama done for Blacks, Hispanics, and people of color?
·      What has Barack Hussein Obama done to help the U.S. Economy during his tenure?
 
Let me also ask you this...Why do you think there are so many people tearing down statues, burning our flag, beating up police officers, robbing small business owners in broad daylight, disrespecting our founders, and hating our country along with the contemptuous college students protesting against Israel and waving Palestinian flags in our streets shouting “from the river to the sea”?  You do know this phrase contemplates the destruction of the state of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East and one of America’s strongest allies!  But today, three years into the Biden Presidency, our silver-tongued leader announced that he suddenly does not support Taiwan's independence!  Yet another abandonment of an American ally and an open invitation to China to move against this nation.  Forgive me, but didn’t Biden do the very same thing with Ukraine?  Why?  Whose side is he on?
 
Do you really believe that America was a country founded on evil principles?  Do you honestly believe that America is an imperialist nation? America saved Europe twice in the 20th century winning two World Wars in the process.  What lands and treasures did we seize other than small tracts of land to bury our honored dead?  Do you believe that there is systemic racism in our nation and that all blacks killed in our streets are the result of police brutality?  Here are some facts you need to reflect upon:
 
The reason why today we see so much rioting and violence in our streets and a desire to change our culture and tear down memorials and historical statues is twofold:  First it is the decline in family values and the elimination of Christian faith from our daily lives.  Secondly, is the fault of an education system that is corrupt to its core.  You may not like to hear this, but our children are actually being taught to hate America in our school systems, colleges, and universities across this great land.  They are being taught that there is nothing exceptional about America.  They are being taught Revisionist History, not history as it occurred.  Schools have slowly been tearing down our history.  If you don’t believe me, do some research on Google or any search engine and look up the “1619 Project”.  This has been embraced in over 3,500 school systems in America and it is simply a fraud, a hoax.  And it is being taught to our children and young college-aged students across America.  But, while we are on the subject of education, and in specific, the fallacy of systemic racism, which the left keeps trying to sell to the American public, and which does not exist, if you happen to be a teacher or a parent involved in your child’s education, here are a few additional questions:
• Do you teach your students that it was the Democrats that started the KKK?
• That the Grand Leader of the KKK was none other than Senator Robert Byrd, who was elected to Congress and served for decades as a Senator, and that it was Hillary and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama who gave the eulogy praising him?  Why are there no protests about that?
• That the Democrats fought the Civil War to keep slavery and that Democrats voted against the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution which freed slaves and gave them the right to vote as citizens.  Let that one sink in.
• That the inner-city ghettoes were created by Democrats to keep control of slaves after they were freed?
• That Planned Parenthood was founded in inner cities to control the Black Population?
 
Is any of this in your history books?
 
Let me ask you this as well:
Can a student speak up today when he/she disagrees with a teacher when the teacher says that Trump is a horrible president or the Electoral College has to be eliminated?  Do you know if this happens?  Well, I know a student to whom it actually happened. When the teacher said the Electoral College had to be eliminated because Hillary lost, the student spoke up, took exception to her comments, and provided historical facts as to why the Electoral College was created by the Founders and why it is necessary today.  The teacher responded by giving the class a test and stated she was doing so because the student dared to disagree with her.  How does that sit with you?  This is not an isolated instance.  It is happening all over America today.
 
Did you know that it was the Portuguese who first brought black slaves from Africa to our shores?  I didn’t either because it is not true.  Muslim slave traders did this.  But this is what young students are being taught in our schools today. Do you think the average tenth grader in high school can recite the Gettysburg Address or tell you how a bill becomes a law?
 
Is this any of this happening in schools your child attends?  I'm only asking questions...I'd like you to think about your answers.
 
President Trump and his entire family have been vilified, demeaned, and disrespected, for one reason and one reason only...he won!  And because he won, he was in a position where he can and has upset the gravy train of political corruption.  He is a very dangerous figure to those who have made careers in politics, who can retire after serving only five years of service in Congress and receive a lifetime pension equal to 100 percent of their compensation as either a member of Congress or the Senate.  Can you retire from service and get a pension of $175,000 or $190,000 per annum with full family health care?  I couldn’t and I spent over 45 years in industry and teaching at some of the finest universities in the nation!
 
Have you noticed that Democrats only throw tantrums and object to everything President Trump says or does and have never once gotten behind him to make America the best it can be? Why is that?  The simple answer is: they can't afford to get behind him...he would win again, and they can't let that happen. If he wins again, the Democrat party will be dealt a terrible blow and they know it.  Heck, if you look closely at the Democratic Party today it is nothing like the Democratic Party your grandparents knew.  It is a leftist-leaning, Socialist/Marxist party that is seeking to literally destroy our nation from within and rebuild it as a socialist state.  Remember the words of Barack Hussein Obama…”Change You Can Believe in”  Obama’s entire mantra was to tear down America and rebuild it as a socialist state.  What he meant by that catchy phrase was “We are Going to Change What You Believe!” Just look at the so-called platform espoused by Joe Biden.  It is nothing more than a regurgitation of the Socialist Green New Deal of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocascio-Cortez, and others and it will literally and figuratively destroy America!  It simply cannot work from a financial and economic perspective.  Their focus on climate change is nothing more than a major effort to usher in a New Order, one which completely restructures our economic and financial system. The end result will be failure as in the cases of Argentina, Venezuela, Cuba, China, and North Korea all rolled into one and it is spelled disaster!
 
It seems to me that people ought to take a deep breath and think a bit about history, specifically who we are and where we came from:  America has been in existence for 248 years.  There are nations on this earth that have existed for thousands of years….China, England, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany.  We are a speck in terms of the period these countries have occupied in history.  Yet, America has created the single greatest economy in the history of mankind with the highest standard of living known to man.  We have developed technology, and a space program, earned more Nobel Prizes in Science and Medicine, pioneered flight, cured diseases, and developed new surgical interventions in the span of 248 years.  And during that time we have made slavery illegal in this nation.  Americans need to know that slavery exists even today.  But not in America.  Yes, we have more work to do but as the commercial says so eloquently “We’ve come a long way baby”.
 
But here are some additional questions:
·      Did you notice that the "cages" the left claimed that Trump built to put illegal children in, were built by President Obama for the very purpose of putting illegal immigrant children in them? Was that fact shared all over the news media when Obama did it? The very same "cages"...but the media was silent!!
·      How about when Trump commuted Roger Stone's sentence, and was demonized 24/7 but not a word was said in the media when Obama commuted 1,715 inmates, which included 330 that he granted on his last day in office. Were there reporters even reporting it?  Just look at the difference in the reporting. By the way, when Trump was in office he commuted the sentences of 10 people. Compare that to Obama. Or Bush. Or Bill Clinton.
·      How about when Biden and Obama allowed the H1N1, the Swine Flu, to infect 60 million Americans before declaring it a health emergency? Was the press losing its minds and calling it the “ObamaFlu” and blaming Obama and Biden for the spread? No, just silence…except for Nancy Pelosi who today calls COVID-19 the “Trump Virus”
·      Compare this to the negative media coverage that Trump got when he immediately halted travel from China, to when, that February, Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown and said come on down, it’s safe!  Or when New York’s Mayor DeBlasio said to ride the subways and go to Broadway Shows....but those same people are blaming Trump for the spread of coronavirus. You can’t make this stuff up!
·      Have you looked at what Trump did with no help whatsoever from the Democratic party to deal with the Coronavirus? 
ü He ordered the retrofitting of two U.S. Navy Hospital Ships capable of handing over 1,000 patients each and dispatched them to Los Angeles and New York City in response to “urgent requests” by the governors of those states. 
ü He deployed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build 3,000-bed hospitals at New York’s Javits Center and San Francisco’s Mosconi Center, and a like number of hospital beds in NYC’s Central Park.  These assets went virtually unused!  Did you catch that….unused? 
ü Trump engineered through government/private enterprise partnerships the single greatest effort to produce PPE (remember then Governor Andrew Cuomo pleading for thousands of ventilators which Trump delivered, the bulk of which went unused). 
ü Then Trump personally orchestrated the fastest level of research to develop a vaccine for COVID-19 as well as the development of much-needed treatment regimens over the criticism and gnashing of teeth of democrats who never lifted a finger to help!  All in record time. 
 
Yet, he is still assailed by the media and Democrats even to this very day.  Why?  What have Democrats done?  What initiatives have they advanced?
 
SOME FINAL QUESTIONS AND OBSERVATIONS:
What have the Democrats done to help make America the best, to get behind a President that works tirelessly and genuinely cares about We the People, instead of using us as political pawns?
 
What have the Democrats done for people of color except for giving illegals more rights than citizens and having us pay for it with higher taxes?  Biden now wants to give illegal aliens free health care and allow them to participate in Medicare.  You do realize that Biden single-handedly is responsible for over 8.0 million illegal aliens entering our nation over the past three years with an estimated 1.0 million “got-aways”.  More threatening, some 300 illegal aliens are on the terror watch list.  Doesn’t that give you a warm and fuzzy feeling of comfort in today’s hate-filled world?  We don’t even know where these thugs are.  Remember, it only took nineteen illegal aliens to give us September 11, 2001. And Biden has allowed over 9 million into our nation.  I have one word for this…treason!  People say he is old and tired.  I say that is true but he is also pure evil because if he were not, he would care about the people…and he doesn’t!
 
Just imagine what this country could accomplish if the Democrats and Republicans actually worked together on behalf of America!  What a novel thought!  Imagine if they worked with President Trump on the economy, the coronavirus, the inner cities where he created opportunity zones, job training, etc.  When Trump tried to get school choice for inner-city students they ran Betsy Devoss out!  The Democrats running those inner city schools wanted no part of school choice. I found this fascinating and very revealing. Have you ever wondered why its cities that have been run, for decades, that have the most homeless, the most crime, the most murders, the worst inner-city schools, are all run and led by Democrats?  Did you know that today, as I write this letter, all of the cities where we are seeing riots, looting, destruction of businesses, desecration of churches, tearing down of statues and monuments, and attempting to destroy federal buildings and courts are all led by Democrats?  Are you happy with that?
 
If you haven't started asking yourselves all of these questions, maybe you should.
 
Today we have front-row seats to the outrageous spectacle of Trump defending himself in four separate legal actions all intended to stop him from running for the Presidency in 2024.  Never before have I ever witnessed such politicization and weaponization of our legal system against one man.  It is a disgrace and a stain on who we are as a nation and as a people.
 
Equally disgraceful was the letter signed by 51 former National Security and Intelligence Officers stating that the infamous Hunter Biden Laptop had “all the earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign”, when none of these people ever saw what was on the laptop, and didn’t even read the letter.  This was during the Presidential Debate of Trump vs Biden.  It has been proven false and was orchestrated by Anthony Blinkin, now Secretary of State for Joe Biden.  But it was also election interference in spades!  And 91 charges against Trump in four separate jurisdictions, all arising in an election year are also election interference.  This must not be allowed to stand in America.
 
Trust me, this is not because they hate Trump.  It is because they fear him.  Trump is a good man and he is incorruptible…and they know it.  In the minds and hearts of all fair-minded Americans, Trump was a great President and he will be again.  This by no means is intended to thumb down Nicki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy or Ron DeSantis who are all good people.  But Trump can hit the ground running, knows Washington D.C. and the Swamp, and will make the tough decisions needed to set our nation on the right path.  Our country desperately needs his leadership today.

READERS: EXAMINE YOUR SOULS AND DO COMMENT ON WHICH PART YOU DISAGREE.

How Rich Eugenicists Weaponized Medicine

 

History recap reveals the 100 year path to the covid-crimes-against-humanity

Early in the twentieth century, the Rockefellers and the Carnegies were deeply involved in eugenics.

The Carnegies and the Rockefellers worked with Abraham Flexnor to invade human health care. They created a medical monopoly that has persisted since then. Their deception and this monopoly resulted in profound deterioration of what was once a robust and diverse free-market human health care sector. What ensued was more than a century of deception, poison based “health care”,  chronic disease, and a high-profit, recurrently-criminal, pharmacologic  industry that has filled grave yards and destroyed lives. In the 2020’s this medical-hospital-industrial complex was used to create the atrocities of the covid-genocide and extensive violations of human rights globally.

Here in under 10 minutes, Dr Glidden gives a great concise history lesson. This will help us remedy our situation, and not be lured into a similar trap in the future

That Virus

Posted by The Tradesman on January 31, 2024 at 5:08am

Source; Anonymous

The left-wing schoolmarms at politiFact want you to know that evil scientists are not actually engineering “Disease X” in an effort to stage Plandemic 2.0. Yes, untold hundreds or even thousands of virologists may be tinkering with virus genomes to enhance them for human hosts; and yes, still more of them may be plotting their response to this entirely hypothetical “Disease X” once it begins infecting humans. But, nobody is engineering a specific pathogen for the direct purpose of imposing another public health hygiene dictatorship on the world they tell us.


Neo-liberal lies--AGAIN! One of these threats, after all, has already declared a global pandemic and magnified the harm caused by their lackluster pathogen via lockdowns and the coerced vaccination of billions; the other remains confined to imaginary science fiction scenarios and (strangely) the pandemicists’ own fever-dream tabletop exercises. I guess it is not deranged right-wing conspiracising when our betters contemplate bioterrorism scenarios for fundraising purposes, but should you take their own fantasies at all seriously, well, that is a step too far.

The world economic forum flirts with their critics by cultivating a self-aggrandising Bond-villain rhetoric with just enough plausible deniability for the fact-checkers. Accordingly, they held a monumentally dumb panel discussion yesterday on “Preparing for Disease X.” Naturally, none of our preparers had any significant epidemiological qualifications. The discussion was chaired by a pinched humourless woman named nancy brown, who is CEO of that eminent pandemic preparedness center known as the American Heart Association. Over the course 50 minutes she spoke with WHO Director General tedros adhanom ghebreyesus (who is at least an immunologist), Brazilian Health Minister and social scientist nísia trinidade, AstraZeneca chairman michel demaré, and healthcare executives roy jakobs and preetha reddy. These are the people eagerly plotting all the public-private partnerships, developmental pathways, strategic collaborations, equity initiatives, data sharing projects and viral surveillance programs that will be necessary to stage the next virological circus.

Climate Update Here is the Real Science

Posted by The Tradesman on January 31, 2024 at 4:57am

Source; Researchers at the University of Minnesota and the U.K.’s University of Leeds, published by the European Geosciences Union,

 

Researchers at the University of Minnesota and the U.K.’s University of Leeds, published by the European Geosciences Union, finds that in the decade between 2009 and 2019, the Antarctic ice shelves increased in mass and extent, on balance. Using global satellites to measure changes in 34 ice shelves across Antarctica

In Geophysical Research Letters, by an international team of researchers from universities and research institutes in the US, Switzerland, and France, found that the rate of meltwater in Antarctica has declined between 1980 and 2021 Using satellite microwave measurements run through the physics-based multi-layer snow model SNOWPACK.

In the science publication Nature by an international team of scientists from universities and research institutes in England, Scotland, and the US found the rate of ice decline in West Antarctica is not reflected in ice trends elsewhere on the continent and varies dramatically by location. They surmise that the ongoing ice loss in the region is likely being driven by “interdecadal atmosphere/ocean variability,” although more study is warranted because direct observations have been limited over time.

In peer-reviewed journal The Cryosphere, determined that ice sheets were thinner in Antarctica during the interglacial in the past than they are now, and that they recovered, indicating natural cycles drive ice extent changes on the continent and ice declines are not irreversible. A team of 13 researchers from universities in the US, the United Kingdom, and Australia, used cosmogenic-nuclide analysis to examine the history of ice sheet decline and expansion in an area of West Antarctica abutting the Amundson Sea, during the present interglacial period (the Holocene).

This research indicates that the present deglaciation is not unique within the Holocene, natural factors have driven deglaciation historically, and such events are not just reversible but have reversed themselves previously, with sea levels falling after the reglaciation commenced. What the evidence indicated, is that glaciation and deglaciation is not uncommon and historically has been driven by natural factors, on net, the Antarctic ice sheet is gaining ice.

Meanwhile, research Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Nexus indicates that a significant factor in “rising sea levels” measured at cities on the U.S. eastern seaboard is land subsidence due to groundwater withdrawals—in other words, they are sinking. Led by Leonard O. Ohenhen at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, with others from Virginia Tech and the U.S. Geological Survey, used: “measurements of vertical land motion rates obtained from analysis of radar datasets to evaluate the subsidence-hazard exposure to population, assets, and infrastructure.” A number of areas along the mid-Atlantic coast are subsiding at annual rates exceeding the calculated rate of actual sea level rise for those areas each year.

Meanwhile, Like hurricanes and tropical cyclones, Extra-tropical cyclones aren’t playing by the climate alarm playbook. Data show ETCs in the United Kingdom, for example, have not been as severe in recent decades as they were in the past, despite media coverage of ETCs in recent years claiming otherwise. And globally, there is no evidence ETCs are worsening either. Who says so? Why, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. So, despite climate alarmists predictions based on model outputs, there is no trend in more powerful or more frequent ETCs. Rather, they are forming and dissipating as they have historically, varying in number and intensity both annually and on a decadal scale.
 
Meanwhile, "When carmakers test gasoline powered vehicles for compliance with the Transportation Dept's fuel efficiency rules, they must use real values measured in a laboratory. By contrast, under an Energy Dept rule, carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of electric cars by 6.67. This means that although a 2022 Tesla Model Y tests at the equivalent of 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory (roughly the same as a hybrid). It is counted as an absurdly high compliance value of 430 mpg. That number has no basis in reality or law.  For exaggerating electric car efficiency, the government rewards the carmakers with compliance credits which the can trade for cash, Economists estimate these credits could be worth billions, a vast cross-subsidy invented by bureaucrats and paid for by every person who buys a gasoline powered car...Until recently, this subsidy was a government secret. Carmakers and regulators liked it that way...Regulators could announce what sounded like stringent targets and carmakers would nod along, knowing they could comply by making cars with arbitrarily boosted compliance values, Consumers would unknowingly foot the bill."--WSJ

The above are the worthless carbon credits that companies got rich selling to companies like GM and Ford so they could pretend to reduce the carbon from their highly profitable gas guzzling trucks and SUVs.  In other words, your government, the carmakers and the eco-wackos knew this was a massive fraud but they didn't care. They were greedy and their junk-science addiction needed a fix. People are irrelevant, especially the poor and middle class. And of course, left-wing/democrat campaign workers posing as left-wing journalists, have participated in perpetuating the fraud by just repeating talking points without doing research or asking questions.

left-wing/democrats claim they care about the poor and middle class but the poor have been screwed for years to pay more for their gas-powered vehicles to cover the massive losses from selling inefficient, expensive, impractical vehicles powered by the highly flammable pollutant lithium that environmental extremists are forcing all of us to buy. The fraud(1) in this green agenda dwarfs any other fraud we have ever seen and there is not 1 piece of significant, REAL scientific data that shows the radical green policies will change temperatures or limit storms and maintain sea levels where they are.  It is no wonder the left-wing/dems & eco-wackos seek to shut up those of us who have continually told the truth that the climate has always changed cyclically and naturally and pointed out the fraud for what it is, by calling us climate change deniers and anti-science.

 

1.Among the companies spending big bucks on corporate jets, meta platforms (aka facebook)topped the list in 2022, spending $6.6 million on the perk for personal flights for zuckerberg and sandberg. The figure marks a 55% increase from 2019. neo-liberal hypocrisy--AGAIN!

Another Way they are Culling the Herd-A Cautionary Tale!

Posted by The Tradesman on January 31, 2024 at 3:48am

Source Anonymous

4 years ago, the Canadian province of British Columbia gave addicts legal access to fentanyl and other opioids, hoping to reduce hospitalizations and deaths. Safer Opioid Supply program included lenient rules to encourage users to join. Doctors could write prescriptions even for people at high risk of overdose. Addicts did not have to enter treatment or even agree to counseling to participate. Canada’s national health insurance program even paid for the drugs.


The results have been catastrophic. Published in JAMA Internal Medicine, Canadian researchers found opioid overdose hospitalizations and deaths have soared in British Columbia since 2020. The rise occurred both in absolute numbers and compared to other Canadian provinces that did not legalize opioid prescriptions. The researchers first compared British Columbia to two small nearby provinces. But they found similar results when they checked bigger provinces too, including Ontario, Canada’s largest. By 2022, deaths in British Columbia had risen roughly 100%. The 7,200 opioid overdose deaths British Columbia suffered from 2021 through 2023 are thus suffered the equivalent of about 475,000 deaths in the US. And the figure does not include overdoses from cocaine or other drugs like Valium. Put another way, people in British Columbia are dying from opioid overdose at roughly double the rate in the US, where overdoses are rightly viewed as a national emergency. If British Columbia were a state, it would have the 2nd-highest rate of opioid overdose deaths, behind only West Virginia.

For drug advocates, the answer to the failures of “harm reduction” is always more of the same. About 12 months ago, British Columbia fully decriminalized the possession and use of heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl. But with death rates continuing to rise, advocates argued last fall addicts be allowed to receive drugs without a prescription - a proposal that essentially would end any restrictions on state-funded drug use.

What no one in the harm reduction community will admit is that societies can control drug use. They can’t eliminate it entirely, but they can make it more or less acceptable by highlighting its harms and making users legally responsible, thanks to stigmatization, increased taxes, and police enforcement. How many deaths will it take for the harm reducers to admit the truth?

Democracy is 51% of the people taking away the rights of the other 49%.—Thomas Jefferson

12369246092?profile=RESIZE_710x

 

12369246285?profile=RESIZE_710x

“The American founders saw democracy as part of a republic form of government prone to descend into corrupt and/or mob rule and demagoguery. Which is why they attempted to protect against that with constitutional provisions limiting the power of the government and mandating an electoral college to bring into balance the interests of both small and large members.”—Frank Salter

While “majority rules” has always been an appealing slogan, it’s an insufficient principle for structuring an electoral system. “Pure democracy” is just another phrase for “mob rule.” Dictatorship of the majority means 51% of the citizenry rule the other 49%. That minority has no rights except those the constenting majority grants. It works well for those in the 51%, not so much for those in the 49%. Plato and James Madison knew it too. Plato and Madison both recognized that justice and liberty for the minority is possible only when power is shared between groups in society.
 

Plato’s Republic heavily influenced Madison and the other Framers to devise a constitution that protected the minority. Plato held that the ideal (aka just) form of government was one in which power was shared correctly between workers, warriors, and rulers. Madison held that the ideal (aka American) form of government was one in which power was shared correctly between judges, lawmakers, and rulers. Inspired as it is, our Constitution protects the minority while preserving the best of democracy: we the people elect representatives to run the government (republic) and we do so by majority vote (democracy). Ergo, this is a democratic republic. Ergo, the Electoral College.

The purpose of the Electoral College is to balance voting power across states so no one region of the country can gain too much control. If a president is elected by a simple majority of votes, a candidate who is wildly popular in one region (e.g., Ted Cruz in Texas, Ron DeSantis in Florida) can ignore smaller regions and campaign only where large majorities are possible. The founders designed the Electoral College to help ensure that states, with diverse preferences among them, could cohere under a single federal government.

Anyone who thinks this concern is irrelevant today hasn’t been paying attention to the current polarization in American politics. The Electoral College helps check polarization by forcing Presidential candidates to campaign in competitive states across the country, instead of spending all their time trying to motivate turnout in populous partisan strongholds.

Presidential elections often do not produce popular majorities. In 2016 neither mrs.b.j Clinton (nor did her husband in the 1990’s) nor Trump won 50%. “Plurality rules” doesn’t have the same ring to it. In the absence of the Electoral College, the winner’s vote share would likely be significantly smaller than is common today. 3rd, or 4th, or 5th, etc.  party candidates who can’t realistically win a majority in any state would have a greater incentive to enter the race. What if a President was elected with 30% of the vote in an election featuring 5 formidable 3rd-party candidates? A free-for-all plebiscite would hurt the system’s legitimacy. The Electoral College helps narrow the field to usually 2, occasionally 3 serious contenders, as voters decide not to waste their vote on candidates who have no chance to win.

The Electoral College also contributes to political stability by delegating vote-counting to the states and thus delivering with rare exceptions a faster result. The uncertainty arising from a nationwide recount for President amid myriad regional irregularities—as happened in North Carolina and Florida in 2018—would make Florida 2000 look tame.

Consider the practical implications of this radical plan to remove an institution that has stabilized our political life for more than 200 years. The urban centers of America, run almost exclusively by left-wing/democrats for decades, which would become dominant under the plan, are also the centers of America’s crime problems, gun homicides, intractable poverty, failed public schools, high taxes, over-burdening regulations and political corruption. Do we really want to replicate for all America the failed welfare & economic policies that have created a permanent underclass in cities like Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Baltimore, San Franciso, Philadelphia, etc, etc.?

The electoral college was an integral part of the federal plan, part of a very successful plan for balancing power and has helped maintain a high level of tranquility and cooperation. It made a place for the states as well as the people in electing presidents. Without the electoral college there be no sense in having states, except as administrative apparatus for a centralized government.

What remains in question is that in a desperately divided society does there still remain the will to not just recognize the important issues but also the impact of their breath and depth, in time? The Founders’ ingenious design to produce compromise between competing factions and to put checks and balances on radical adventures was never more needed than now, when the country is divided in a way that it has not been seen since the Civil War. But apparently this is the perfect time for an out-of-touch and increasingly out-of-control left-wing/democratic Party to undermine the constitutional foundations of the nation, push a divisive agenda, and move the nation towards a one-party state, with all the dangers to our freedom and prosperity that entails. 

The national popular vote movement is a left-wing/democrat scheme that proposes an interstate compact in which participating states agree in advance to automatically allocate their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, disregarding the popular vote results in their states or what the relevant legislatures might then desire. It would put the fate of every Presidential election in the hands of the voters in as few as 11 states and thus undermine the protections that the Electoral College affords to smaller states. It is an expedient way to circumvent the Electoral College without formally amending the Constitution.

“It was the electoral college that made it possible to end slavery, since Lincoln only earned 39% of the popular vote in 1860, but won a large victory in the Electoral College."--Prof. Allen Guelzo and James H. Hulme
 
But the left-wing/democratic Party, which was responsible for “jim crow laws,” such as poll taxes, literacy tests, and other intimidation tactics, seeks to incorporate even more fraud into the voting system. Their plans would eviscerate efforts to: authenticate a voter's identity, to make absentee ballots secure, to alleviate inaccurate registrations (such as dead people, people who have moved, ineligible felons, non-citizens or those who have registered more than once), protect online registration from hackers, to protect free speech on political activity, to prevent weaponization of government departments against a particular party, and to prevent political parties from receiving huge amounts of funding from government—which is not a neutral party to the election process.

The left-wing/democrat ruse, to ensure political dominance in order to implement their agenda, is their BIG Lie, which falsely claims that identifying who is voting constitutes "voter suppression." All of which is done in order to nationalize their so-called "voter rights" bulk-ballot fraud strategy. And any opposition to their plan is attacked by them as “jim Crow 2.0.” Of course these are again just more of their lies and distortions to achieve their corrupt ends.

A poll from the Angus Reid Institute found 58% of respondents harbored doubts that the electoral process had necessary safeguards against "widespread fraud and cheating," with 26% saying they were "not confident at all."

Last Sunday's Sermon

Posted by The Tradesman on January 31, 2024 at 3:30am

“Can borders be controlled? Yes, each country has a right to control its borders, who enters and who leaves, and countries that are in danger — of terrorism or the like — have more right to control them more.” --Pope Francis

The inextricable relationship between borders and national identity, culture, and sovereignty was for so long understood that few popes ever spoke on the relationship between borders and immigration before the World Wars. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote on borders and immigration in his 13th century masterwork the Summa Theologica. Relying on analysis of Sacred Scripture, Aquinas explained that while nations are called to exercise charity to foreigners, each nation’s chief responsibility is to its own people, with the dual aims of preserving national unity and the common good.

A nation’s relations with foreigners, Aquinas explained, may be: “twofold: peaceful, and hostile: and in directing both kinds of relation the Law contained suitable precepts.” That is to say, God’s Law demands nations respond differently to peaceful and hostile foreigners. Aquinas declared that a nation has the right to reject or repel immigrants it deems “hostile.” Furthermore, in order for immigrants to be adopted into a country, they must first adopt that country’s culture and way of life, stating: “The reason for this was that if foreigners were allowed to meddle with the affairs of a nation as soon as they settled down in its midst, many dangers might occur, since the foreigners not yet having the common good firmly at heart might attempt something hurtful to the people.”

Centuries later, especially in the wake of World War II, immigration escalated exponentially, prompting Catholic leaders to speak on the subject in order to inform the consciences of the faithful. Pope Pius XII was one of the 1st pontiffs to directly and clearly address the issue of immigration, laying particular emphasis on not only the common good of a nation but the common good of the whole human race. Witnessing countless masses of refugees displaced by the near-global conflict, Pius XII asked Americans: “Is the policy concerning immigration as liberal as the natural resources of a country so abundantly blessed by the Creator would allow and as the needs of other countries seem to require?” In his 1952 Apostolic Exhortation Exsul Familia Nazarethana, Pius XII wrote: "Since land everywhere offers the possibility of supporting a large number of people, the sovereignty of the State, although it must be respected, cannot be exaggerated to the point that access to this land is, for inadequate or unjustified reasons, denied to needy and decent people from other nations, provided of course, that the public wealth, considered very carefully, does not forbid this.

The pontiff was speaking of immigration of necessity — not of want, not of whim, but of necessity — the sort of immigration Aquinas would classify as “peaceful.” Families displaced by war and violence still seek shelter in nations blessed by God with abundant riches, and while every nation has a duty to its own people, it has also a duty to mankind as a whole.

But today hundreds of thousands of fighting-age males are not necessarily fleeing war — and if they were, they would leaving behind their women and children while they refuse to fight. Asylum claims are a scam, are too readily accepted by the derelict our government. Even fleeing economic impoverishment is not asylum nor always necessary: America’s success is not predicated simply on its geography and topography, but on the will, imagination, and fiery spirit of its people; if America can produce a culture of success and prosperity, so also can other nations, if they are not readily abandoned by their own people.

Pope Benedict XVI spoke of this principle in his 2013 Message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, saying: “[E]ven before the right to migrate, there is need to reaffirm the right not to emigrate, that is, to remain in one’s homeland.” That is to say, a right to emigrate, to leave one’s own country and attempt to enter another’s, may be mitigated or nullified if one does not avail oneself of the right to simply remain in one’s own country.

There is the further problem of what Aquinas would classify as “hostile” immigrants. America’s southern border is being flooded with gang members and cartel agents, drug-smugglers carrying inordinately lethal doses of fentanyl, potential and even confirmed terrorists from across the Atlantic. And yet the biden regiem’s obscenely lax policies and practical weaponization of “parole” procedures have admitted millions of illegal immigrants into the nation — nearly three-quarters of a million through “parole” procedures in 2023 alone!

Then there is the very nature of illegal immigration. Aquinas stressed the importance of respect for a nation’s laws and assimilation for its culture. So also did Pope Pius XII when he said that an immigrant: “must be conscious of what he owes the people that welcomes him and tries to facilitate his progressive adaptation to his new way of life.” By the very mode of entry sought by illegal immigrants, they are flouting and violating the very 1st set of American laws they encounter. How can they be expected to respect the remainder of the nation’s laws or assimilate to the American way of life (which is being rapidly eroded by the immigration crisis) if they will not even attempt to enter the nation legally?

In order to prevent the undermining and eventual destruction of a nation’s laws, culture, and way of life, stringent immigration regulation is necessary. Recognizing this as both a reality and a good, the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches: "Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants’ duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws, and to assist in carrying civic burdens."

There are, of course, other factors to consider with immigration, such as the natural resources and economic state of the country receiving immigrants — the Catechism again explains: “The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin.” This is why Pope St. John Paul II stated, in his 2001 Message for the World Day of Peace" “The challenge is to combine the welcome due to every human being, especially when in need, with a reckoning of what is necessary for both the local inhabitants and the new arrivals to live a dignified and peaceful life.”

The regulation of one’s borders, then, is most certainly a principle not only permitted but advocated by the Catholic Church, going back centuries and centuries. Although the circumstances of the modern world have changed what immigration looks like and even how it’s discussed, Catholic teaching addresses the unchanging moral dimension of the issue.

 
“There is no reason biden needs to wait on Republicans to try to constrain him into enforcing the law; he could start enforcing it himself. Or to be more specific, he doesn’t have to wait for Republicans to limit his power to parole illegal immigrants into the country; he could instantly start paroling fewer people on his own. biden’s border crisis, which he initiated immediately upon taking office and has allowed to reach historic levels the subsequent 3yrs, is the starkest example in recent memory of a president engaging in wholly avoidable political self-harm.”—Rich Lowry

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has released more than 2.3 million migrants into the US the southern border under the biden regime. That’s only the ones they’ve caught! The figures from the Dept of Homeland Security for the 1st time, illustrate the extent of the volume of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce types who need low- and semi-skilled workers may be thrilled to be awash in prospective cheap, under-the-table labor, but the rest of us paying the huge tab, in money, safety, healthcare, education, housing, veteran services, culture, etc. aren’t sharing in that feeling of happiness. We have borders for a reason, and people are supposed to ask permission before they enter.

biden’s refusal to enforce the border is in clear defiance of federal law, which REQUIRES immigration officials to detain asylum applicants who are not “clearly admissible.” The horde of 3rd-worlders pouring into our country are economic migrants, which is not grounds for asylum at all, much less “clearly admissible.” The law says they must be detained until they are removed. biden is detaining none of them, meaning biden's regime has broken federal law at least 6 million times so far.

Gov. Abbott of Texas has defended his state with Operation Lone Star, installing razor wire along the state’s 1,254-mile border with Mexico, and deploying thousands of Texas state troopers and National Guardsmen there. In response, biden ordered federal officials to cut down the razor wire, so that he may continue hauling millions of illegals into the country — again, breaking written law.

Texas is experiencing an invasion of several million people per year coming from 150 countries. Given the cartels, drugs, violent criminals, and third world masses storming cities like Eagle Pass every day, the magnitude of today’s invasion is greater than any scenario our Founders could have envisioned when they implied that a state can downright employ ships and troops to conduct war. According to our Constitution, the supreme law of the land, Gov. Abbott is completely within his rights to spurn such a manifestly unconstitutional court ruling. This, he did yesterday, issuing a statement explaining that the biden regime’s refusal to detain illegals — as required by federal law — has triggered Article 1, Section 10, clause 3 of the United States Constitution(1), permitting Texas to go to war to stop an invasion. Texas is well within its rights to follow the law, despite orders from the President and Supreme Court that he violate it.

Also note that biden ignores the Supreme Court when it acts Constitutionally, for example, by forgiving student loans after the Supreme Court said he can't! If the law is not what is plainly written but is whatever the President and his agents decide, what's left of the law? What's the point of the whole legislative process? How does this not differ from dictatorial rule? How isn't that a real threat to democracy? And why do left-wing/democrats support, vote for, and want more tyranny?

1.      “No State shall …engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay… And, by the way,, Article 4, Section 4 states: “The United States shall…protect each of them against invasion…”

Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken ploughs,
Broken treaties, broken vows,
Broken pipes, broken tools,
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking,
Everything is broken

biden's democrat Party is the established order. Trump is the rebel, he embodies rejection, even disdain, for the establishment. As in 2016, he is lapping his challengers with his contempt for the Washington establishment.  Americans are angry.  For years now, Americans have seen that nothing much works as it should. ny times' bret stephens explains that: “brokenness has become the defining feature of much of American life: broken families, broken public schools, broken small towns and inner cities, broken universities, broken health care, broken media, broken churches, broken borders, broken government.”

Trump’s popularity is a flashing red warning of that system failure.  Trump sees what the other candidates do not:  Americans hate Big Brother.   The brokenness of government is the least of it. The government tells us what to do, and how to do it, without doing its own job very well. Immigration is out of control. The workplace is a thicket of rules.   Have you finished your dei and anti-harassment training?  Is your paperwork in order? Don’t be yourself:  you wouldn’t want someone to feel “unsafe.”   Washington is bad theater, like watching phoniness on a continual loop. Did you hear the one about how Ivy League universities are beacons of free speech?  woke teachers teach hate and agenda not information, knowledge, wisdom and learning. School have lost authority over the classroom, doctors and nurses spend half the day filling out forms, you risk your job by telling a joke in the workplace. Washington is useless, like a perpetual motion machine. It can't even give a permit for a transmission line everybody agrees is needed.

Oh, and never forget that most Americans are bigots, the beneficiaries of white privilege—even if you’re working yourself to the bone with 2 jobs, and still have trouble making ends meet.  Institutions can’t function without trust at the top—trust in consistent standards, values and common purpose.  Why would you trust to lead the rebuilding of government for the benefit of everyone by the very same ideologues who broke it?

Suffocation + Sanctimony + ineptitude = Time for a change

America has a vast reservoir of the human spirit.  But it's dammed up inside the massive legal concrete-like gate of Washington. Open the gate and release Americans’ energy and ingenuity in all parts of our society. Area by area, we'll replace dense rulebooks with simpler frameworks, like the Constitution, that are activated by human responsibility. Let Americans be Americans. Give Americans the freedom to do what’s right. Give back to our communities the responsibility to do things in our own ways. Judge us by how we do, but don't tell us how to do it.  Accountability must work both ways: Give us back the power to hold the people in government accountable.  Nothing works unless a person makes it work. Decades of dense red tape must be replaced by simple frameworks that people can understand and be accountable for. No institution works unless the people in charge are trusted to maintain common standards of right and good, on the solid foundation of human responsibility.

Foreign Affairs

Posted by The Tradesman on January 31, 2024 at 3:19am

Source; Anonymous

Terrorists have declared war on Western civilization. And you don’t bring combatants to justice; you rain destruction on them. There is no alternative to confronting, deterring and, if necessary, disarming such states or groups. To dismiss them as a bunch of cowards perpetrating senseless acts of violence is complacent nonsense. They are deadly, vicious warriors, complete with a cult of death and need to be treated as such. They have a very specific game to bring Western Civilization to its knees and to introduce a tyrannical dark age, dedicated to imposing its fanatical enslaving ideology on societies they control and destroying the societies they can’t. others. You can abdicate, but you can't hide.

Soothing words, soothing speeches, soothing policies, mutual respect have yielded nothing. Rogue States or groups are, by definition, impervious to moral suasion. Deterrence does not work against people who ache for rewarded an afterlife. It does not work against undeterrables. And it certainly does not work against undetectables. Their war remains. Until you declare war in return, you will have thousands (and with wmd’s, maybe millions) of more innocent victims.

The lesson of history is that the world does not sort itself out on its own History doesn't act autonomously. It needs agency. If you leave it to the forces of History to repel aggression and redeem injustice, what's the point of politics, of leadership, in the first place? When peace and stability is achieved it is the product of a self-conscious action by a great power. The US is not an imperial power. There is a reason that we became the only nation in modern history to not have immediately catalyzed the creation of a massive counter hegemonic alliance against. Which is why so many in the world welcomed our presence as a balancer of power and a guarantee of their freedom. We are a commercial Republic. We don't take, we trade for, as a commercial, maritime, trading nation that needs an open (free), stable world environment in which to thrive.

Yes, foreign entitlements are indeed a burden. But some are also a necessity. America's high standards of living and its relative ability to keep the peace come with some cost. The rise of hostile powers, building weapons of mass destruction and terrorist organizations, let alone armies, can hardly be a matter of indifference. Missiles shrink distance. Weapons of mass destruction and terrorists multiply deadly power.  In a world of terrorists, and weapons of mass destruction, the option of preemption is especially necessary.

Therefore, as Henry Kissinger taught us, with history confirming, the only way to achieve relative peace is through hegemony and the balance of power. But without hegemony, no balance of power among nations will hold. Therefore, we must, as a free society, be a hegemon, a for the same reason, a reluctant one. We will support democracy everywhere, but will commit blood and treasure only in places where there is a strategic necessity - meaning, places central to the larger war against an existential enemy, an enemy that poses a global mortal threat to freedom. It must be targeted, focused and limited. We are friends to all, but we come ashore only where it really counts.

And this point to another fatal flaw in neo-liberalism. neoliberalism has an aversion to using force for any reasons of national self-interest. That’s primarily because the left-wing is rooted in the so obviously false conviction that America is so intrinsically flawed, so inherently and congenitally sinful that it cannot be trusted with, and does not merit the possession of overarching world power. So, because the left-wing feels (to describe it as thinking would be a false use of the word) we are so imperfect a nation, we are in no position to dictate our professed values to others around the world. That our shortcomings are so grave, our offensive both domestic and international, so serious, that we lack the moral ground in which to justify hegemony. Therefore we must constrict, rebrand, and diminish ourselves deliberately - to try to make ourselves equal partners, even with the real bad guys, and with our obviously unequal powers in order to make some unnecessary amends.
 

Thus security threats have emerged as a direct result of that ideology combined with biden's profound ineptitude. And that incompetence has significantly eroded our nation's military readiness because biden has denigrated our military men and women to the point that morale is as low as his presidential approval ratings. On top of the explosive foreign threats to our nation, biden's ineptitude has also degraded the recruiting efforts of our military service branches, which are not meeting their minimal recruitment goals. In fact, 2023 was the worst recruitment year on record, with the uniformed services coming up short by more than 40,000 recruits.

With military recruitment and morale at an all-time low, the biden regime has floated lots of reasons to explain away this shortfall crisis. biden's "white supremacy" lie — demeaning our military ranks by claiming they are full of "extremists" — is a factor. But an extensive report concludes that, in fact, our military ranks are not full of "extremists." The real reason for the morale and recruiting bust is that biden et al. have imposed their woke policies on the rank and file, as well as their diversity, equity, and inclusion criteria for both recruitment and promotion. Thus, the most highly qualified military personnel are leaving, and at the same time, the most qualified recruits are not showing

The consequences of that deeply fatal flawed dogma inherent in neo-liberal ideology are not only real, but catastrophic. The notion that this will lead to reciprocal gestures is beyond simply childish. It is a death wish, a product of globalization that believes the illusion that such course of action can change human nature. It does not. It destroys humanity. To voluntary renounce power, others will not follow suit. They will fill the vacuum. And those others are not in any shape or form benevolent, especially to the children of such a radical revolution, upon whose graves the proof is found, the left-wing.

"America's military morale and readiness have declined to some of the lowest levels since World War II. Frankly, this should come as no surprise. ... Our military is in the middle of an undeniable crisis in recruitment, retention, and morale."--Rep Mike Garcia

Our fighting men and women are required to sit through indoctrination programs, often with roots in the Marxist tenets of critical race theory, either by Pentagon diktat or through carelessness by senior leaders who delegate their command responsibilities to private Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion instructors."-- retired Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr, former director of the Center for National Defense:

Broken

Suffocation + Sanctimony + ineptitude = Time for a change

America has a vast reservoir of the human spirit.  But it's dammed up inside the massive legal concrete-like gate of Washington. Open the gate and release Americans’ energy and ingenuity in all parts of our society. Area by area, we'll replace dense rulebooks with simpler frameworks, like the Constitution, that are activated by human responsibility. Let Americans be Americans. Give Americans the freedom to do what’s right. Give back to our communities the responsibility to do things in our own ways. Judge us by how we do, but don't tell us how to do it.  Accountability must work both ways: Give us back the power to hold the people in government accountable.  Nothing works unless a person makes it work. Decades of dense red tape must be replaced by simple frameworks that people can understand and be accountable for. No institution works unless the people in charge are trusted to maintain common standards of right and good, on the solid foundation of human responsibility.

Broken Border by Biden

Posted by The Tradesman on January 31, 2024 at 2:45am

Source; SNGLR

Our border conflict is not an isolated incident. It is part of the world economic forum program of "denationization" of the US.

Edmund Burke described society as “a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.”

Illegal aliens directly threaten the immortality facet of social self-organization because they alter and disturb -- sometimes beyond repair -- the communication mechanism connecting past, present, and future generations, material, measurable, and mortal -- a country, its citizens, and its government, immeasurable, and immortal -- a nation.

The modern leftists are fighting so fiercely for the “rights of immigrants,” not because the fate of illegal aliens worries them in any way. It is because globalists anticipate illegal immigrants as the main “engine of the revolution,” which must bring about socialist transformations and catapult the globalists to power. Consequently, the greater the number of “engines” in a country, the happier the elite of the globalist party will be. So, naturally, they call (irrationally and contrary to common sense) for opening the US borders, dissolving the Border Patrol, and granting the right to vote to non-citizens.

In essence, the left-wing world economic forum runs the program of denationization of the US. The position of globalists on this issue is ultra-uncompromising because, for them, illegal immigration is not a legal issue but a political and close to existential one.

Following globalists, this is not a matter of violating the country’s sovereign rights but a matter of political survival. In the opinion of globalists, illegal immigration encapsulates precisely that army of mere mortals stupefied by the propaganda of the masses. These mere mortals will be required to stand on the barricades to gain political power over every area of the planet.

Basically, the globalists’ idea might be expressed as follows: “If our citizens do not vote for us, we will import hordes that will.” The Texas National Guard on the banks of the Rio Grande protects not only the state and not only the country. They secure the immortality of the American nation.

Broken

Posted by The Tradesman on January 31, 2024 at 2:43am

Source; SNGLR

biden’s refusal to enforce the border is in clear defiance of federal law, which REQUIRES immigration officials to detain asylum applicants who are not “clearly admissible.” The horde of 3rd-worlders pouring into our country are economic migrants, which is not grounds for asylum at all, much less “clearly admissible.” The law says they must be detained until they are removed. biden is detaining none of them, meaning biden's regime has broken federal law at least 6 million times so far.


Gov. Abbott of Texas has defended his state with Operation Lone Star, installing razor wire along the state’s 1,254-mile border with Mexico, and deploying thousands of Texas state troopers and National Guardsmen there. In response, biden ordered federal officials to cut down the razor wire, so that he may continue hauling millions of illegals into the country — again, breaking written law.

Texas is experiencing an invasion of several million people per year coming from 150 countries. Given the cartels, drugs, violent criminals, and third world masses storming cities like Eagle Pass every day, the magnitude of today’s invasion is greater than any scenario our Founders could have envisioned when they implied that a state can downright employ ships and troops to conduct war. According to our Constitution, the supreme law of the land, Gov. Abbott is completely within his rights to spurn such a manifestly unconstitutional court ruling. This, he did yesterday, issuing a statement explaining that the biden regime’s refusal to detain illegals — as required by federal law — has triggered Article 1, Section 10, clause 3 of the United States Constitution(1), permitting Texas to go to war to stop an invasion. Texas is well within its rights to follow the law, despite orders from the President and Supreme Court that he violate it.

Also note that biden ignores the Supreme Court when it acts Constitutionally, for example, by forgiving student loans after the Supreme Court said he can't! If the law is not what is plainly written but is whatever the President and his agents decide, what's left of the law? What's the point of the whole legislative process? How do we differ from dictatorial rule. And how isn't that a real threat to democracy. And why do left-wing/democrats support, vote for, and want more tyranny?

1. “No State shall …engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.” - U.S. Const. Art. 1 § 10 cl 3:

Broken cutters, broken saws,
Broken buckles, broken laws,
Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices on broken phones

Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face

Broken hands on broken ploughs,
Broken treaties, broken vows,
Broken pipes, broken tools,
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking,
Everything is broken
                                                ----Bob Dylan

biden's democrat Party is the established order. Trump is the rebel, he embodies rejection, even disdain, for the establishment. As in 2016, he is lapping his challengers with his contempt for the Washington establishment.  Americans are angry.  For years now, Americans have seen that nothing much works as it should. ny times' bret stephens explains that: “brokenness has become the defining feature of much of American life: broken families, broken public schools, broken small towns and inner cities, broken universities, broken health care, broken media, broken churches, broken borders, broken government.”

Trump’s popularity is a flashing red warning of that system failure.  Trump sees what the other candidates do not:  Americans hate Big Brother.   The brokenness of government is the least of it. The government tells us what to do, and how to do it, without doing its own job very well. Immigration is out of control. The workplace is a thicket of rules.   Have you finished your dei and anti-harassment training?  Is your paperwork in order? Don’t be yourself:  you wouldn’t want someone to feel “unsafe.”   Washington is bad theater, like watching phoniness on a continual loop. Did you hear the one about how Ivy League universities are beacons of free speech?  woke teachers teach hate and agenda not information, knowledge, wisdom and learning. School have lost authority over the classroom, doctors and nurses spend half the day filling out forms, you risk your job by telling a joke in the workplace. Washington is useless, like a perpetual motion machine. It can't even give a permit for a transmission line everybody agrees is needed.

Oh, and never forget that most Americans are bigots, the beneficiaries of white privilege—even if you’re working yourself to the bone with 2 jobs, and still have trouble making ends meet.  Institutions can’t function without trust at the top—trust in consistent standards, values and common purpose.  Why would you trust to lead the rebuilding of government for the benefit of everyone by the very same ideologues who broke it?

Suffocation + Sanctimony + ineptitude = Time for a change

America has a vast reservoir of the human spirit.  But it's dammed up inside the massive legal concrete-like gate of Washington. Open the gate and release Americans’ energy and ingenuity in all parts of our society. Area by area, we'll replace dense rulebooks with simpler frameworks, like the Constitution, that are activated by human responsibility. Let Americans be Americans.

Earnings and Benefits

Posted by The Tradesman on January 31, 2024 at 2:37am

Source; Anonymous

Washington is the primary insurer of Americans — 194 million — through Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare.

One of the triumphs attributed to BObamaCare was job growth.  According to Goldman Sachs: “500,000 jobs were added to health-care sector under BObamaCare.”  When the data are studied in detail, 47,000 were care providers, meaning that 453,000 (91%) were non-clinical jobs, people who did not provide patient care.

Mentally calculate the salaries for millions of bureaucrats, administrators, rule-writers, regulation compliers, compliance officers, overseers, mandate-enforcers (BARRCOME).  This is the cost of healthcare associated with regulations such as BObamaCare, which cost $1.76 trillion.  In fact, to cover part of this cost, $716 billion was taken from the Medicare Trust, money intended to pay for hospital care for seniors.  According to the Trustees, Medicare will be insolvent by 2028 and thus unable to provide this care.

BObamaCare was merely one more money sump that diverts healthcare spending away from paying for care.  In 2023, the U.S. expended $4.5 trillion on its healthcare system.  It is estimated that 31% to more than 50% of U.S. healthcare spending goes to BARRCOME.  That translates to $2 trillion’s worth of patient care Washington denies its citizens while paying itself.

Job growth in healthcare demonstrates a variation of the seesaw effect: as government takes over healthcare,  BARRCOME goes up, patient care goes down, and Americans die. Washington’s takeover (by regulation) of healthcare has produced a Potemkin village. Grigori Potemkin, an 18th-century Russian statesman, built a façade of a prosperous village and hired actors so one thought the change had been a great success.  In fact, it was a failure — and Russians continued to starve.

Washington has produced a Potemkin village called Federal Healthcare. The uninsured rate is the façade of success. Each reduction of this number is heralded as a new triumph.  Another false building front is added and propped up for viewing pleasure.  Behind the façade, there is reality: Washington paying itself with “healthcare” dollars, and Americans with BObamaCare waiting in line for rationed care.

Then there's Social Security whose taxes fund a thing known as Social Security benefits.

The “net tax rate” is the statutory Social Security tax paid by workers (and what their employer pays to the government instead of to them) minus the benefits they receive from the program.

If you receive benefits equal to your taxes, then your net tax rate is zero.

If you pay more in taxes than you receive in benefits, your net tax rate is positive

If you receive more benefits than taxes your net tax rate is negative.

The highest-earning top 20% of individuals—the fifth quintile—pay a positive net tax rate of 3% of lifetime earnings. They pay 3% more than they receive

The other 80% pay negative net tax rates, meaning that they tend to receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes. (bear in mind that the program is insolvent.) The lowest-earning 20% of the population has a negative net tax rate of almost 27%, which means they receive far, far more from Social Security than they pay into the program.

Many Americans, mislead by a disingenuous liberal-biased media, think the Social Security taxes they’ve paid all their working lives are in a trust fund waiting for their retirement. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Since lbj that money has been spent by our government, for example by helping to pay for such things as funding for artists who place crucifixes in urine; or housing, educating, feeding, clothing, and for medical services for illegal aliens; or protecting the border of Ukraine; or funding failed windmill projects; or subsidizing rich people to buy expense electric cars. The result is that the trust fund is nothing more than a mountain of IOUs. IOU’s that will have to be repaid from higher taxes. Despite all the denials, our Social Security system will begin paying out more than it takes in. That deficit is accumulating to trillion$. The only way to avoid that crisis would require either a 25% reduction in benefits or an increase in Social Security taxes by 37%.

If businesses ran their pension funds that way it would be called deception and fraud. And those in charge, similar to the government bureaucrats controlling and operating Social Security, would face prison. The real scam, and it’s a huge one, is that there are no penalties for government officials who violate the same laws we private citizens are held accountable to. Any wonder why government officials do as they please?

The arithmetic link between economic growth, wages, and benefits is so strong that there is virtually no possibility of economic growth that can return the Social Security system to solvency. Jagadeesh Gokhale estimates that only long-term growth in excess of 8% per year would bring the system into balance — a virtual impossibility for a mature economy such as our own. 

Growth is indeed a necessary ingredient for fixing our long-term budget problem, but it’s not enough. What’s more, the policies that left-wing/democrats have been touting as pro-growth  — such as the boost in infrastructure spending— tend to conflate short-term stimulus and long-term economic growth. We need not just more people working, but also increasing the productive capacity of the U.S. growth is necessary too but, it’s not sufficient. The absolute necessity of reforming entitlements has no easy out.

Next time you review your expenses and find that you give government, at all levels, nearly half of everything you earn in taxes, fees, licenses, etc., consider the alternative to politicians who insist on taxing, spending, and borrowing us to death. As law and regulation become more centralized, they are more likely to have unexpected consequences.

Decisions on laws and regulations should be based on clear understandings of the costs and harms of them, not simply by the heady feeling of exhalation produced by particular agendas or desires. With exercised rights or entitlements, there is often a 2-way flow among those effected. And that means that those wishing to express them are not absolved from absorbing the impact of them on others, regardless of their desire for such.  neo-liberalism denies that, advocating instead to social-engineer categories of people entitled to outcomes regardless of their inputs. And it often does this sub-rosa, by creating huge burdens of proof for any criteria that reveal the inequalities of capabilities and circumstances, while assuming with little or no evidence that only maligned intentions or systemic bias could explain unequal results.

Social Security is a pay-as-you-go program. It wasn't designed to provide over 2 decades of income. The current beneficiary isn't receiving their money paid in years ago. That went to the previous recipient. The money for today’s recipient is coming from tomorrow's recipient's paycheck. Pay-as-you-go is the definition of a Ponzi scheme. The crucial distinction between a Ponzi scheme and social security is that social security is mandatory. And though compulsion allows sustainability it does not guarantee it. Even a mandatory Ponzi scheme can fail if it cannot find enough new entrants. 

Clinging zealously to the current design and increasingly obsolete structures of Social Security, (Medicare, and Medicaid too) is the very definition of a reactionary neo-liberalism. Today's radically different demographics and technology have rendered these programs, as structured, unsustainable. Everyone knows that unless reformed, they will swallow up the rest of the budget.

Consider minimizing the problem, which is government, for the solution—Privatize Social Security.

“I believe public approval ratings for Congress have fallen to single digit levels not because of the heightened partisanship, but because of blatant cowardice and dishonesty. Their dereliction of responsibility will not translate to respect or popularity. Real fiscal conservatives should continue to focus on the dangers that we continue to face and look to constructive solutions. Honesty, consistency and courage are the only real options. “—Peter Schiff

"Don't let anybody tell you that, ah, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly."---Mrs. b.j. clinton

Interesting that one proclaimed to be so smart can't do something so simple as connect the dots that it takes an employer and their profit to create an employee to create wages and salaries(1).

That's how some 150 million Americans get paid every week. Mrs. b.j. clinton made her millions in the cattle futures market, probably on insider information, as a government employee & by giving speeches for fees of $250,000 a pop. The rest of us mere mortals actual have to work for a paycheck.

The scary thing is left-wing/democrats believe her ideology. Her sophomoric comment reflects a long-simmering ideologically driven war against business that has become a central platform of the left-wing/democratic party.

Her remarks were simply an extension of BObama's insane "you didn't build that" statement denigrating businessmen and women who have created companies — large and small.

In the neo-liberal mindset, economic output and jobs are achieved collectively and thanks to the beneficence of government (which can’t function and prosper, certainly not with freedom, without the efforts of private citizen), not because of the ambition, drive, vision, risk-taking and guts that it takes to start a new enterprise out of nothing.

It says a lot about the state of the left-wing/democratic Party that Mrs. b.j. clinton was viewed by many as "too moderate." Many of the euphemistically called "progressives" lean toward marx's more radical ideas — more redistribution from the earners to the non-earners by ever more government with stifling regulations, less and less freedom and more and more coercion and punishment.

“To say that all individuals are embedded in the product of society is banal... Of course we are shaped by our milieu. But the most formative, most important feature of the individual is not government. It is civil society, those elements of the collectivity that lie outside government; the voluntary associations that Tocqueville understood to be the genius of America and the source of its energy and freedom. Moreover, the greatest threat to a robust, autonomous civil society is the ever-growing Leviathan state and those left-wing/democrats who see it as the ultimate expression of the collective...What's variable is the energy, enterprise, risk-taking, hard work and genius of the individual. It is therefore precisely those individual characteristics, not the communal utilities, that account for the different outcomes."--Charles Krauthammer

  1. Not to mention that Mrs. b.j. clinton subverted government laws and government servers while working for the government, exposed herself to blackmail, and was obviously engaging in things that she didn't want anybody to know about or ever to be able to find out about; or that she took what looks to be millions of dollars of bribes from foreign governments for her and her daughter's and her husband's foundation; or that hillary left her ambassador unprotected in Benghazi, left for dead, even though she knew about it; or that hillary lied saying that the video caused the terrorist attack that led to the death of the ambassador and watched a hapless nobody video maker thrown into jail to take the blame for her lack of action; or that she ruined innocent women's lives to protect her husband who sexually assaulted numerous women; or that she had botched the first attempt at nationalizing health care; or how horribly that Russian reset thing went, that fake reset button with Putin; or that she has no foreign relations qualifications--no experience; nor that her book was an absolute disaster, nobody showed up to see her book tour; nor that her Rose Law Firm billing records mysteriously, magically showing up, after having been lost for years in the Map Room of the White House; nor that she had 900 secret FBI records for blackmail use; nor Whitewater nor Travelgate.

"So much of the mathematics that we teach and learn depends on so many factors, and it would be a frightening thing if somebody tried to legislate how to teach mathematics,”. But that is exactly what Jimmy Carter did when he initiated the Department of Education. We had no trouble with scholastics and the grades, were at the top of the heap. If we want to get back to being the best, we need to deconstruct every idiocy the Liberal Left has pushed on us in their attempt to destroy us. We must end the destructive Woke Agendas, and we must do it soon, or we will lose America to the Traitorous Anti-American Left. IMHO!
