Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death

 

His Royal Highness, President Joseph Biden’s first two weeks in office have shown exactly where his loyalties lie. In his first two weeks he has signed approximately 38 Executive Orders. Some, pertaining to the COVID-19 planned-demic are to help the American people stay afloat for a couple of months and keep the vaccinations going into arms. Most are anti-American, pro-foreign policy.

How, you ask, are they anti-American and pro-foreign? That question is easily answered with terminating the Keystone XL pipeline and border wall. These two EOs terminated tens of thousands of good paying Union jobs with the stroke of a pen. Overnight. Literally. With another stroke of his pen he re-entered the United States into the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran Nuclear Deal. Both will cost the American taxpayers billions of dollars. The worst part of these EOs is that they are not debated or voted on in Congress. He is legislating from the Oval Office. This is not how laws are made in America. That is how dictators rule.

No other President in the history of our nation has signed so many Executive Orders in so short a time. While President Joe is signing documents, some of which he doesn’t even know what they are, Congress is legislating laws that will put the nation even further into debt (which China owns most of) and making sure the American Communist Party (formerly known as Democrat Party) doesn’t lose another election.

The first two Coronavirus stimulus bills added up to around 5 TRILLION dollars. How much of that went to the American people that are out of work, losing their businesses, confined to their homes, etc. because of the planned-demic called COVID-19? Less than 25%. Billions were given to special interests, unions, contributors to the DNC, and billions more went to foreign countries. 15 million went to Pakistan for, get this, gender studies. Approximately 4 TRILLION dollars were spent on things OTHER than helping the American People.

Now, President Joe wants another almost 2 TRILLION dollars for another stimulus so that he can help out more contributors and special interests. The National Debt, most of which is owned by China, is at the 30 TRILLION-dollar mark. And the Democrat run states are still on lock-down, kids are still not allowed to go to school in person, businesses are still closed, and the economy is still tanking. Who is going to pay for this? How is it going to be paid? If people are not working, they are not making any money. No money means that taxes are not getting paid. No taxes, no National income to pay for anything.

Yep! The Harris/Biden Administration is off to grand start. President Joe is proving how great a President Donald Trump was. At least the ACP is in charge and is going to make America Communist.

Free speech is under attack. The main-stream media is owned by the Left. The right to keep and bear arms is under attack. Due Process no longer exists for conservative politicians, after all, Trump was impeached without witnesses, counsel, investigation, or debate.

The Biden EOs:

Jan 20, the day he was inaugurated:

Rescinded Trump’s 1776 Commission (a project to bring America’s actual history back to light) and endorsing the 1619 Project (which promotes how bad America is because of slavery)

Revoked Trump’s plan to exclude noncitizens from the census (which makes the deep blue states more powerful by adding millions of people to the population)

Prohibiting workplace discrimination in the federal government (which there are already LAWS for this)

Created a COVID-19 response coordinator who will report directly to the president (not against this, just more money spent on another government position)

Revoked Trump’s 2017 Interior Enforcement EO which broadened the categories of illegal aliens subject for removal, and restarted the Secure Communities program and supports the federal 287(g) deportation program (in other words – he isn’t going to deport illegals, no matter what)

Launched a government-wide initiative directing every federal agency to review its state of racial equity and deliver an action plan within 200 days to address any disparities in policies and programs (there is SOOOOO much wrong in this one. First of all, there is a huge difference between ‘equality’ and ‘equity.’ Equality give everyone the same access; equity gives everyone the same outcome. If there are disparities in policies and programs within the Federal Government, then the government is breaking its own laws. If it’s because minorities aren’t advancing or being hired as quickly as white people, maybe they aren’t getting, or have, the qualifications)

Extended the pause on student loan payments and nationwide restriction on evictions and foreclosures (Ok, here’s the deal on this: OPEN THE DAMN COUNTRY UP SO PEOPLE CAN GO BACK TO WORK! And, as far as student loans – you signed a bloody contract stating that you would repay money borrowed. I do NOT want to pay for YOUR loans when I paid for my own)

Created an equitable data working group to make sure federal data reflects the country’s diverse makeup and direct the Office of Management and Budget to allocate more federal resources to underserved communities (instead of spending more money on useless committees and programs, start spending LESS money on illegals and other wasteful spending in the Democrat-controlled cities and states that are so far in debt and NOT helping minorities)

Canceled the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline (way to go, Joe! Killed tens of thousands of good paying union jobs with the stroke of a pen and tens of thousands more of indirect jobs!)

Ended the building of the border wall and terminated Trump’s national emergency declaration concerning illegal migration (again, Joe doesn’t care about National Security and WANTS illegal migration into the country so that the ACP has a wider, stronger voter base. Not to mention the child trafficking, drug trafficking, and other criminality the wall helped to curb)

Reversed Trump’s travel ban from countries of predominately Muslim religion (no, he banned travel from predominately TERRORIST countries. He can’t help it that most terrorists are Muslim. Besides, Obama banned travel from the SAME countries)

Declared Jan 20 as National Day of Unity (just another government paid holiday. There is no unity coming from the Harris/Biden administration)

Directed the Office of Management and Budget to make recommendations to modernize regulatory processes (not sure what this means except it is just more money spent on another useless project)

Extended the deferred deportation of Liberians through end of June 2022 (so, we aren’t deporting ANYONE anymore)

Strengthened the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) for certain illegal aliens who were brought to the US as children (DACA is NOT a Constitutional Law. It was never debated or voted on in Congress. The little tykes were brought over here by illegal migrants and are here illegally. MOST of them have had enough time to apply for citizenship and go through the legal channels but haven’t. SEND THEM BACK)

Jan 21:

Order to identifY supplies and accelerate the production of supplies needed to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, including vaccines and ppe (didn’t Trump do this?)

Order stating support for reopening schools (I agree 100% with this. Time to get the kids back to learning)

Called on OSHA to issue guidelines on COVID-19 for workplaces and establish an enforcement program for violations (in other words – the planned-demic isn’t going away anytime soon even though it isn’t near as bad as what the mainstream media and the government would like us to believe)

Order to require mask-wearing on certain modes of transportation and for international travelers to the US (gotta keep those faces covered! Paper and cloth masks do absolutely NOTHING to prevent coronavirus. The ONLY effective masks against this are the N95 which are made to work for infectious disease)

Order to encourage acceleration of the production of treatments for coronavirus and expansion of access to therapies (again, didn’t Trump do this?)

Established a COVID-19 testing board to increase test supply and bring manufacturing of tests to the US (Trump’s Project Warp Speed did this without creating another useless government committee)

Order directing the government to examine and prevent inequities in health care and services for communities of color and other marginalized groups, established with HHS a COVID-19 Health Equity task force (once again, here is the race card being played. If minority communities are being forgotten about, that is on the STATES in which it is happening. Maybe we should start a committee or task force to police those states and cities that are neglecting those of color, like New York City, Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc)

Enhanced data collection and sharing among governmental agencies to strengthen public health infrastructure (another committee, agency, task force to do the job of the states)

Directed FEMA to cover states’ costs for the National Guard to assist in pandemic response (Isn’t the National Guard paid for by the States?)

Jan 22:

Restored collective bargaining power for federal employees, and directed the Office of Personnel Management to provide recommendations for achieving a $15 minimum wage for federal workers (what FEDERAL workers only make minimum wage? Most are OVER paid)

Promoted assistance for federal agencies to individuals, families, and small businesses amid the COVID-19 pandemic (I guess I can’t complain about this – other than just opening up the country so people can go back to work instead of spending billions of dollars on welfare payments due to a Government induced chaos)

Jan 25:

Reversed Trump’s policy to ban transgender people from serving in the military (I don’t care if you want to be something you’re not but trying to fight on a battlefield while taking meds for your mental condition isn’t exactly safe for your co-soldiers)

Committed to investing in American companies and closing loopholes ‘that allow companies to offshore production and jobs while still qualifying for domestic preferences.’ (OK, Joe, that’s why you’re killing American jobs, the American economy, giving back the oil industry to Russia, China, and the Middle East)

Suspended the entry of noncitizens to the US who were present in certain regions in the 14 days prior to their attempted entry, including: the Schengen Area, the UK (excluding overseas territories outside of Europe), the Republic of Ireland, the Federative Republic of Brazil, and the Republic of South Africa (from what I’ve heard these are hard hit COVID countries so I don’t disagree with keeping most out)

Jan 26:

Directed the phase-out of private prisons by not renewing contracts from the DOJ. The order does not apply to other federal agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (OK. So what are you going to do with all the criminals? You want to defund the Police and that would include corrections officers, right? Oh, hang on! You’re releasing all those people that are rapists, murderers, gang members…)

Order condemning racism and xenophobia against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in response to the coronavirus, and instruction the DHHS to consider best practices to mitigate language in guidance that could further racism (I didn’t know that Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders were being harassed about COVID and mitigating language is against the First Amendment right of FREE SPEECH)

Directed agencies to mitigate racial bias in federal housing policies ( again, there are already laws prohibiting this)

Recommitted the government to respecting tribal sovereignty (The Indian tribe’s sovereignty shouldn’t have been messed with to begin with. They were here before us and the Federal Government screwed them royally. THEY are the ones that need, and are getting, paid for what was done, and is still being done, to them)

Jan 27:

Elevated climate change as a national security concern and committing to the goal of conservation goals (I really can’t find the words strong enough to voice my opinion on this. Climate change is cyclical on this planet. Nothing we do is going to change it. As for it being a national security concern – only a feckin idiot would see it that way. As for conservation goals – Ask any farmer about that, he’ll help you out, Joe)

Established the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (another useless committee that will cost the taxpayer more and more money)

Jan 28:

Strengthened the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid by directing agencies to review any policies that may hind access to the ACO and recommending the opening of a three-month enrollment period for uninsured Americans (ObamaCare is a failed program that needs to be eliminated not strengthened. The only people that can afford it are the ones that don’t work and aren’t paying for medical insurance. As for the rest of us – totally unaffordable)

Reversed Trump’s ‘Mexico City Policy’ that blocked funding to groups that include abortion services or information in their family-planning programs, and suggesting the reconsideration of policies that ‘impose undue restrictions on the use of Federal funds or women’s access to complete medical information.’ (I have no problem with NEEDED medical care for poor women. I do have a problem with the Federal Government subsidizing adolescent and poor women’s abortions. Try subsidizing ADOPTION, which is out of reach for a lot of people, instead of abortion)

Fed 2:

Reestablished an Obama-era task force, the Task Force on New Americans, to help integrate immigrants into American communities. The order will also call on government agencies to conduct a review of regulations and policies that create barriers for legal immigration (As long as those immigrants are LEGALLY here, this would be a pretty good thing. If it is for integrating ILLEGALS into the country then it is just another way to screw the American people)

Introduced an interagency task force to reunify families by identifying the children and parents or guardians who were separated at the border, facilitating reunification and then creating a report on recommendations to ensure the federal government does not have policies in place that separate families (Just a little question here; if these kids were separated from their FAMILIES, wouldn’t you think those parents or guardians would be trying to get those kids back? If the government has to go find the parents/guardians and try to reunify them with kids, maybe those parents/guardians aren’t really family)

Created a framework addressing the underlying causes of migration to the US southern border from mostly Central American countries, and work with foreign governments and organizations to create opportunities to process migrants seeking asylum in that region (Does it really matter WHY? It’s NOT the United States responsibility to support the world or figure out every country’s problems. Stop the illegal migration by any means necessary. Up to, and including, shooting those people as they illegally cross the border. Most importantly: QUIT INVITING THEM IN!!!!)

 

Unfortunately, We, the People, have lost our voice in government. How? Very easily: we allowed the same vermin to sit in power for decades and become more and more powerful, elitist, untouchable. We, the People, keep voting these same parasites into office cycle after cycle. When we FINALLY get a man into the White House that will fight for the American people, for our rights, our freedoms, our country, what happens? The elitist establishment, the Deep State, fight him from day one on everything he does; they concoct crimes to impeach him; the continually investigate him and everyone around him; they impeach him for a crime that didn’t happen; finally they commit fraud and corruption to win an election to oust him and impeach him again to try to keep him from running again, ever.

Yes, Patriots, it is we, the People, that have allowed this. There was a time when politicians that committed crimes such as has been going on over the last several decades would be tarred, feathered, and run out on a rail. Now, they are re-elected, vote themselves raises, and celebrated by a brainwashed population.

If we have any hope at all of keeping our God-given, Constitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms then we, the People, must fight back, take back, our government. We must never allow politicians, or the government, to gain so much power as to be able to control us. The Constitution limits the Federal Government to where it is weak and small when it comes to the everyday business of the country. It is the STATES, and the PEOPLE, that have the power. It’s time to get back to what the Founders intended. NOW! There is no time left. With the Democrats (now known as the American Communist Party) in total control of the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate, there may not be another fair and honest election. We, the People, must make sure that no political party has this kind of power and control over us.

Peaceful protest. Civil disobedience. These are the right way of doing things. Even President Trump used every legal strategy before saying that there would be a new administration. He did NOT concede. We MUST use the legal system first. We MUST use non-violent means first. If those fail, then it is our RESPONSIBILITY to forcibly take our country back. It must be NOW. Tomorrow is too late.

Successes and failures: Obama vs Trump

Let’s do a recap here. What were the accomplishments of the Obama/Biden Administration?

The biggest accomplishment that came out of the Obama years would have to be The Affordable Care Act, commonly known as ObamaCare. Was this really an accomplishment, or was it a failure? As far as most working-class Americans, it was a massive failure. Not only did most people lose the plan they already had, along with their family doctor, but it increased the cost of medical insurance by up to 250%. For those that decided they couldn’t afford to pay the exorbitant fees for medical insurance, President Obama made sure they still paid by ‘fining’ them through their taxes. Definitely not affordable to anyone that had to pay for it. For the poor, the non-working, the low-income people it was great! It didn’t cost them a dime or was extremely low cost.

We can’t forget his first 100 days, either. That was his ‘Apology Tour’ where he toured the world apologizing for America’s bullying; like ending WWII by nuking Japan, or freeing Iraq from Saddam Hussein’s tyrannical rule, or fighting for basic human rights in countries around the world.

Probably the most controversial accomplishment that the Obama/Biden Administration achieved was putting boys in the girl’s bathrooms. Yeah! That went over well with the moral majority!!!

As for his epic failures: An ambassador and four Navy Seals killed after begging for hours to get reinforcements in Benghazi. Selling arms to the Mexican Cartels. How about spying on journalists, using the IRS as a weapon against conservatives, and the FBI to spy on the Trump Campaign. Can’t forget Bowe Bergdahl; the AWOL/Traitor that was traded for five top-level Taliban soldiers. How about the Iran nuclear deal and the 15Billion dollars paid to that enemy? The GSA scandal, Pigford scandal, the Great Stimulus heist – all of which extorted money from the taxpayers to pay for who knows what, lavish parties, pay-to-play schemes, and paying off contributors. Obama’s Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, using a private server for classified emails. And this is just a few of the epic failures of that administration yet the left love both Barry and Joe like they were the Messiah.

Obama had the lowest GDP growth since the Great Depression, capping out at about 1.5%. The highest unemployment, most incarcerations of blacks and minorities, family separations of illegals on the border, and highest welfare rolls. And the left loved him.

Now, let’s take a look at the Trump Administration. What, exactly, did Donald J Trump accomplish during his four years as President of the United States?

Space Force. Massive Tax reform. First Step Act – criminal justice reform. Defeated ISIS and killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He installed THREE Supreme Court Justices and 226 federal judges. Highest employment rates for minorities and women in history. Lowest unemployment rate in 60 years. Income inequality lessened. Secured border. More fair trade deals. North Korea returning MIA/KIA remains. Manufacturing brought back to America. Highest GDP growth in decades. Record high stock markets. Wage increases for lower income earners. More jobs than people to fill them. NATO members starting to pay their share. Four Mid-Eastern Peace Treaties with Israel.

Quite a list of things that helped the American people. That was Trump’s campaign motto: Make America Great Again! He did that by putting America First!

Was Trump always right? Not by a long shot! He tweeted too much. His personality rankled a lot of people and foreign leaders. He trusted the wrong people. He was impeached, twice; both times unconstitutionally and fraudulently. If you want to believe the left, he failed on the economy, race relations, the plandemic, global respect, and being Presidential. All of these are just opinions from the Trump haters, both left and right.

There was a lot of controversy during Trump’s years in the White House. The Democrats persecuted him worse than any other President, including Richard Nixon. If Donald Trump had cured cancer, those with Trump Derangement Syndrome would have berated him for killing a disease. The left fought against him from the time he announced his candidacy. Politico printed an article stating the Impeachment had begun on April 17, 2015, and nineteen minutes after the election, I believe it was CNN said the same thing. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D. MI), yelled immediately after she took her oath of office, “Now we impeach the motherfucker!” Rep. Maxine Waters (D. CA) implored her followers to follow anyone from the Trump administration into restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, or wherever else they might be and harass them by “getting into their faces.”

Was Donald Trump the perfect President? Of course not! He’s human and humans have a lot of faults. Was he as bad as what the Left portray him to be? Not in the least. The Left blame Trump for all the ills of the country including, but not limited to: racism, rioting, white supremacy, corrupt law enforcement, world-wide hunger and poverty, COVID-19, and a plethora of other things that he had absolutely no control over. Yes, there were times that he could have acted more swiftly. Yes, he tweeted too much. Yes, there were times he wasn’t ‘Presidential.’ Yes, he called Kim Jung Un “RocketMan.” Yes, he pissed off a lot of the world’s leaders (only because he quit giving to them and made them face up to their obligations). So, was Trump the perfect President? Nope, but he was the perfect man at the perfect time and did the perfect job.

Who wins the grand prizes here for failures and accomplishment? In my humble, conservative opinion the results are obvious: Trump, hands down for accomplishments and Obama hands down for failures. Trump’s “America First” policies far outweigh his failures and Obama’s pro-Muslim, anti-American policies far outweigh his very few, controversial accomplishments.

We Are Now at DEFCON 2

 

We are under attack! Not by outside forces but by seditious forces within. Forces that would undermine and destroy the rights and freedoms granted to all people by the Creator and guaranteed to the American People by the Constitution of the United States.

The Rights to Free Speech, Religion, and Free Press are being torn apart by the Party. The conservative voice is being silenced by big tech relentless in their endeavor to change the Republic into a Socialist State. With social media banning President Donald J Trump, destroying the free speech platform of Parler, eliminating thousands of conservative voices on Facebook and Twitter, by demanding that all conservatives be removed from Congress, and businesses refusing to accommodate anyone supportive of President Trump, it is a clear and present danger to all Americans.

With the new administration’s blatant disregard to the will of the people by legislating through Executive Order, it is obvious that the Republic is under attack.

When Congress will ignore the will of the people by not investigating when blatant voter fraud is committed and then turn around and impeach a President that has left office, it is obvious that the Republic is under attack.

It is imperative that we, the People, make our voices heard in a way that our so-called representatives understand. I do not advocate violence. Just as President Trump stated in his speech, “Go to the Capitol and PEACEFULLY protest.” We have protested and Congress has ignored us. We have spoken out and addressed Congress about our grievances. They have ignored us. Is it time to come to arms? Not yet, brothers. Not yet. But to Battle Stations we must go.

Amendment 2 of the Constitution of the United States says:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The Declaration of Independence:

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them to another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God entitle them a decent respect to the op9inions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. –That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. –Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States…

Let us be clear: we are not fighting King George of Great Britain and these are no longer Colonies. Our enemy, our tyrannical rulers, are the Democrat and Republican Parties. The present Speaker of the House, the present Senate Majority leader, the majority of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the present President and Vice President of the United States are the enemies of the People.

The mass media (including but not limited to: The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, National Public Radio, and media such as Facebook and Twitter) are the enemies of the People. Why are these enemies when Amendment 1 states clearly that there is freedom of the Press? The Press has become the mouthpiece of the far-left. Newspapers no longer print truth but only what Government wants them print. Propaganda through media is not what America is about. When the Press only prints what Government wants, the nation no longer has a free Press. Only communist nations demand only Government controlled media.

It is painfully obvious that we are a nation under attack. We must man the battle stations, prepare for war. The war has already started, though. It started decades ago when Government became more powerful than the Founders intended.

The Constitution of the United States of America; Article One; Section Eight:

The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the Untied States;

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;

To establish Post Offices and post Roads;

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writing and Discoveries;

To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;

To declare War, grant letters of Marque and Reprisal. And make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States

Respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; -- And

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by the Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Office thereof.

These are the enumerated powers of the Federal Government. The Tenth Amendment says:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

We, the People, and the several States, have abdicated most of our power to the Federal Government. How, you ask? By allowing the Federal Government to continually take more and more power away from us. We vote in the same power-hungry career politicians cycle after cycle. Some of the representatives in Congress have been there thirty, forty, or even fifty years. They are so far removed from normal, everyday life that they have no idea how their legislation affects the American People. They just legislate to gain more and more power and wealth for themselves with no regard for their constituents.

Article Four; Section Four:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Article Six; paragraphs two and three:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation to support the Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

As you can see, the Federal Government has usurped its power and has become a tyrannical dominion over the people; gross overreach with no repercussions. In effect, the representatives that we keep voting into office have become untouchable. In some cases, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, they have become so powerful and wealthy that their re-election is almost guaranteed.

In States such as California, with their election laws and the gerrymandering of districts, it is almost an impossibility for any conservative to ever win an election. With HR1 2021 this corrupt form of voting would be nationwide thus eliminating any chance for a conservative to ever win the White House again. What do I mean by corrupt form of voting? To start with there would be no voter ID for absentee ballots, mail-in ballots would become the norm with no voter ID, illegal aliens would be able to vote, dead people would vote, some people would vote more than once; and this is only the beginning.

With the Democrat Party’s win of the White House, the House of Representatives and the 50/50 split of the Senate, there is nothing to stop the Democrats from transforming our Constitutional Republic into the Socialist State they desire so much. Complete Government control over every aspect of our lives.

Yes, we are a nation under attack!

Abraham Lincoln stated: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

We are destroying ourselves by allowing a rogue Party to remain in power. President Joe Biden, in his first week in office, signed almost 40 Executive Orders; most of which gave more power to the Government, took more liberties from the people, and weakened our National Security by empowering China and giving the Chinese more access to American infrastructure.

With the COVID-19 pandemic stimulus packages, Congress gave away, wasted, trillions of taxpayer money by giving it to foreign nations while giving less than a trillion dollars back to the American taxpayer. Democrat-run states and cities have effectively destroyed the economy with closing small businesses while allowing large corporations to remain open. Those same states and cities won’t allow the people to worship in Church, gather peacefully for any occasion (even within the family home), or let children go to school in person; and the Government will not allow the coronavirus to be called the Wuhan Flu, China virus, or even say that the virus started in China.

Because a handful of anti-government radicals breached the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. during, and after, a rally by President Donald Trump, Facebook and Twitter deleted the President’s accounts, permanently. This deprived the Commander-In-Chief, the most powerful man in the world, of his Constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech. Why did they do this? They deleted him because he called for his crowd of half a million Americans to walk to the Capitol and PEACEFULLY protest and let their voices be heard. Congress decided that, because he said that, he incited the riot and breaching of the Capitol while Congress was in session certifying the Electoral count. A count that was fraudulently gained.

We are under attack. We are destroying ourselves from within. A house divided will soon fall and this country is divided. The Democrat Party demands compliance to their ideology. Conservative voices are being silenced daily. Radical left-wing members of Congress are demanding the resignation of all conservatives that supported President Trump or asked to investigate allegations of voter fraud and corruption.

The Defense Readiness Condition system was set up for a nuclear attack. Since WWII, there has been no nuclear weapon used in war. With almost every industrialized nation having nuclear weapons in their arsenal, it is unlikely that any would be used. As for emerging nations, such as North Korea and Iran, working on obtaining nuclear warheads for long-range missiles, it is more likely they would use them to attack the Western Nations, especially the United States. I do not use the DEFCON system for this reason. I use it as a reference to how close we, as a nation, are to civil war once again.

Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, although only 87 years after the formation of our new nation, sounds true today.

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that battle field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.

It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new bieth of freedom 00 and the government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

During the election cycle of 2020, several states changed their election laws. Not through the Constitutional process of the legislatures of those states but through using the court system, by Secretaries of State, and even by the Governors. Voter ID was ignored, cleaning up of voter rolls was not allowed, ballots were sent to people that did not request them and to addresses where the people no longer lived. Drop boxes were used thus eliminating a chain of possession.

Courts, both state and district, Congress, even the Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and wouldn’t even look at the cases brought before them concerning voter fraud, corruption, and unconstitutionality.

President Donald J Trump received eleven million more votes in the 2020 election than he did in the 2016 election; received more votes from minorities than any other conservative candidate in history; and won Florida, Ohio, and Iowa. No other President achieved this without winning the election.

Now President Joe Biden, who remained in his basement throughout the campaign; twice dropped out of the primaries due to lack of support; all but dropped out of the 2020 race due to lack of support until he won the South Carolina primary; and lost minority votes supposedly won eighty million votes? More than Barack Obama? More than Hillary Clinton?

Kamala Harris, who dropped out of the primaries due to total lack of support, was chosen as Vice Presidential candidate. A woman who entered politics through nefarious means by having an affair with a powerful California politician. A woman who, during the debates, called Joe Biden a pedophile and woman abuser and accused him of having dementia, was called upon to run with that same man. Why? Kamala Harris is a woman of color. Mixed breed of immigrant parents, that is why.

With approximately 135 million registered voters in the country the numbers just don’t add up. President Trump received between 74 and 75 million votes while the Biden/Harris team reportedly received around 80 million. Even if you round down the votes for Trump, that adds up to 150 million votes; 20 million more than registered voters. Do you understand how the Democrat Party is destroying our Constitutional Republic? Especially when vote counting was stopped in the middle of the night in several strong Democrat cities and during that recess thousands of ballots appeared; all for Joe Biden and some with only that one box checked. Fraud, corruption, a stolen election.

We are under attack from within by the Democrat Party. A Party sworn to destroy conservative speech, thought, and ideology. A Party sworn to complete Government control over the people. This Party is reminiscent of the Communist Party that the United States, and every freedom loving country around the world, has fought against for decades. The Democrat Party has now become the American Communist Party. You swear fealty to the Party or you are an enemy of the State.

For four years plus the left has been screaming for the impeachment of Donald Trump. On April 17, 2015, as soon as Trump announced his candidacy for President, Politico printed an article stating that the impeachment had begun. Nineteen minutes after the inauguration of Donald Trump the Democrats started screaming about impeaching him. As soon as the freshman Congressman Rashida Tlaib was sworn into office she yelled, “Now we impeach the motherfucker!”

For four years the mass media and the Democrat Party swore that there was Russian collusion and that was how Trump won the election. Millions of dollars, thousands of interviews, reams of reports and three investigations and the only thing that came out of it? The Clinton campaign and the DNC bought a false dossier from a foreign former spy who got shady info from the Russians.

Do you understand now how we are under attack as a free nation? Do you see how the ACP is destroying our Constitutional Republic and the very documents that are the foundation of our country, our freedoms? Do you understand now why the left wants to silence the right?

Andrew Wilkow, radio talk show host on SiriusXM Patriot channel, says it so well, “We are right. They are wrong.”

President Ronald Reagan once said, “It isn’t that our Democrat friends don’t know anything, it is that they know so much that isn’t right.”

It is now time, past time, to take back our country from career politicians. The Founding Fathers foresaw that our Government could possibly become so bloated, so powerful, and so corrupt as it is now. In fact, they did everything they could to ensure that the Federal Government stayed small and weak against the power of the States and the People. Our form of Government was, is, an experiment. No other country in the world had ever tried governance by, for, and of the People. Our rights and freedoms, granted to every man by the Creator, are guaranteed to not be infringed by the Constitution of the United States of America.

Freedom of speech, religion, press, to peaceable assemble, and to petition the Government. The Right to keep and bear Arms. To not have troops quartered in our homes. The Right to be secure in our persons, houses, and possessions and against unreasonable searches and seizures. We cannot be held for a capital crime without an indictment, or be compelled to testify against ourselves and are guaranteed due process. We have the right to a speedy trial by impartial jury, can face our accuser, and can obtain witnesses on our behalf. We cannot be tried twice for the same crime. There is no excessive bail, fines, or cruel and unusual punishment. The rights enumerated in the Constitution do not deny others. Most importantly: Powers not granted to the Federal Government are retained by the States and the People.

The DEFCON emergency system is used in regards to nuclear attack. We are not under that threat at this time. I use the DEFCON symbolism in regards to civil war. We are now at DEFCON 2! One more step before the country is engaged in another all-out war within itself. Prepare yourselves. The war has started, Patriots! The ACP started it over a year ago with the riots by Antifa and BLM. They started it with the fake impeachment of President Trump two years ago. They started it with the illegal and unconstitutional surveillance of CANDIDATE Trump and his associates. We are under attack! DEFON 2

What happened to America

The ‘New Normal;’ Government control of businesses, whether they are open or closed; Governors forcing people to wear ineffectual surgical masks and social distancing; Governors and mayors allowing rioting, looting, arson, and assault by terrorist organizations while demanding their law enforcement to stand down and not allowing federal agents to assist in any way; The coin shortage and businesses not accepting cash payments for goods or services; a vaccination that is much more expensive than an FDA approved drug that has been tested for over 20 years; Stimulus checks that make it more profitable to stay at home than to go to work; Congress and government employees still getting paid (huge) salaries while most Americans are going broke getting next to nothing; Democrat’s pet projects getting millions of dollars through legislation that is supposed to be helping everyday Americans; Illegal aliens receiving money meant for citizens; Democrat and liberal-leaning government officials given a free pass on incontrovertible crimes; obvious treason and attempted overthrow of a duly elected President; mainstream media’s obvious bias and the continual attack against any conservative voice and especially against the duly elected President; the silencing of conservative voices on social media and in the mainstream media; The list goes on and on and on how we, the People, are being controlled, subjugated, and being forced into a Marxist, Socialist/Communist, fascist society.

Anonymous, the 3Percenters, the Militiamen, the Minutemen, the NRA, etc.; ALL the so-called Constitution upholding, patriotic, rights protecting organizations are silent. Where are they? Why are they silent on all that is happening in the country? Are they, dare I say it, afraid? If so, what are they afraid of? If being called a racist is the equivalent of being called a witch in the Middle Ages, then so be it. I remember a time when being called a COMMUNIST was about the worst thing that a person could be called. Now, it’s a badge of honor to be labeled a Communist, a Marxist, a Socialist. In the last bastion of freedom, the land of the free and the home of brave; a country that has fought against tyranny and oppression for 244 years. Since the Colonists decided that they had had enough of tyranny, taxation, and oppression from a government across the Atlantic, we, as a nation, have fought two world wars, two wars of Independence (the War of 1812 was actually fought, once again, for our right to be a free nation. Look it up if you can find a history book that hasn’t been rewritten to fit the liberal agenda), a civil war (yes, it started as a war for State’s rights but was turned into a war against slavery – in other words – oppression), a police action and a conflict (Korea and Viet Nam), and have been engaged in the Middle East for well over 20 years against oppression (and, of course, oil, for those that want to be technical and liberal-minded). What happened?

When did Americans become so – anti-American? Why did we? Was it because we have been blinded by the constant liberal assault on our institutions (such as the liberal takeover of our primary and secondary school systems)? Maybe it is because we have allowed our sense of fairness and well-being for all to overshadow our sense of freedom and self-reliance. “The good of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” That is a great slogan for the liberals. After all, ‘from each according to his ability to each according to his needs.’ That works if it is voluntary. If forced, it becomes tyranny. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

The First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” What, exactly, does this say? It seems clear cut to me. The citizens of this great nation have the right to worship as they please, or not. We have the right to speak our minds, vocally and in the press. We have the right to assemble for any reason as long as it is peaceful. Lastly, we have the right to go to the government and complain that we do not like the way they are running things.

There is some clear wordage here: NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion, or PROHIBITING the free exercise…; abridging the freedom of SPEECH; PEACEABLY assemble. What Congress and the Supreme Court have done to this Amendment is bastardize it. Now, freedom of SPEECH includes actions (such as burning the Flag); it’s against the law to have the Ten Commandments anywhere near a government-owned building or in the schools, but it’s alright to teach Islam; rioting, looting, arson, other destruction of property (both private and public), even assault on another person, is considered peaceful protesting. What a sad situation this country has come to because of the far-left liberal ideology; and it is because of the far-left.

How do these policies get into law? Simple. The Democrats put policy into legislation that is needed or the appearance of being needed because that policy would never get passed on its own. If the President, or conservative members of Congress puts through legislation that the liberals don’t like, they take it to the Supreme Court, or a Circuit Court that is liberal, and put it down and vice-versa if it is a policy that they want and the President or conservative Congress is against it. This makes the Judicial Branch legislators, not jurists. Another way this has happened is in what people call the Deep State.

The Deep State are those government employees that are not elected but hired into positions of making regulations that Congress does not want to be bothered with. Yes, Congress has made the choice of letting agencies and departments make rules that are the same as laws but are not voted on. These employees make rules that they feel are needed according to their beliefs and ideology whether those rules are Constitutional or not. A lot of these people are far-left leaning. A lot of these regulations are unconstitutional and infringe on our Constitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms.

What is happening right now, today, in cities like Minneapolis, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, etc., is criminal. Obviously. Yet, the Democrat governors and mayors of these states and cities sit back and allow the destruction. They are doing all they can to defund law enforcement and instructing the law to ‘stand-down’ and allow what is happening. The sad thing is that, once the destruction is done, the looting is over, the assaults are through, etc., these same Democrats are demanding that the Federal Government step in and pay for what they allowed and blame President Trump for it all. No, where in the Constitution does it state that the President is responsible for what happens in any state. There are specific, enumerated powers that the federal government has, and the rest is up to the individual states. The federal government is not responsible to fix any state’s problems. That is up to the governors and mayors of those states.

If we, the people, don’t open our eyes and start standing up to these Congressmen, governors, mayors, etc., and fight for what the Founders fought for, we are doomed as a free nation. The last bastion of freedom will no longer exist and the world will be cloaked in darkness, tyranny, and oppression for the foreseeable future. The world looks to us, the American people, the United States of America, for hope and freedom. If the United States was even a fraction of evil that the Democrat, far-left, socialists say it is, why do people from around the globe come here, both legally and illegally? Why is there such a push to get to the U.S. instead of the utopian, socialist/communist countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, China, North Korea, Russia, etc.? I’ll tell you why – because this country, the United States of America, is still the best, the greatest, the freest country in the world. Yes, there are other capitalist countries that have basic human rights but none come close to ours. We are the most prosperous country in the world because of our capitalist economy, our freedom to do as we please with our lives, the ability to go out and take risks without government interference.

We are on the event horizon. Will we fall into the black hole of socialism, tyranny, oppression and government control of every aspect of our lives or will we fight back and regain what the Founders fought for 244 years ago? Are we going to allow people like Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and a host of other far-left radical liberals to control our very souls; or will we fight back and keep people like Donald J Trump, Mike Pence, Jim Jordan, Dan Crenshaw, Andrew Wilkow, Mark Levin, Kevin Sorbo, etc., keep watch on our rights and freedoms to make sure they don’t disappear? There are far more liberals out there that need to be leased and/or chained up than there are conservatives that need to be freed.

Major league sports, Hollywood, international business, the internet, social media, mainstream media, federal, state, and local governments are filled to overflowing with enemies of freedom. It is an uphill battle to be sure. A lot of good, clean, patriotic Americans have been brainwashed by the far-left. I call out Anonymous, the 3Percenters, Militiamen, Minutemen, the NRA, and every freedom-loving American out there to start fighting back. We will not go quietly into the night if we all stand together and fight this war that the left has thrust upon us. We, the conservative voice, did not start this war. We are not the ones rioting, looting, assaulting, destroying. We are taking care of our families, working our jobs, respecting the rule of law, upholding our responsibilities. We have not the time for such foolishness as rioting. I will venture that once the left has woken the gentle giant, they will rue the day they decided to fight against us. Even the Japanese after Pearl Harbor knew better than to attack Americans on the mainland.

We will prove victorious if we stand united against this assault on our freedoms. But we must not tarry. To wait will be to lose. The Colonists, a rag-tag army of farmers, fought against the mightiest army in the world and won. We will win again.

Our Divided Country

I understand that the divide in this country is getting wider. It has almost gotten to the point of no return. Why, is the big question. Why are we so divided? Why can we not repair the damage done? Why can we not discuss our differences instead of trying to silence the opposite view? Why is one side ignoring the Constitution, or interpreting it to mean what they want? Why are our morals and values being destroyed? Why? Why? Why?

It is painful for me to watch this great country devolve into a quagmire of deceit, deception, intolerance, and violence. Not since the Civil War has the country been so divided as to have brother against brother, father against son, mother against daughter, and friend against friend. Our Congress is against the President in everything he does or tries to do. They will not give him credit for any of his accomplishments such as: the lowest unemployment rate in recent history, highest employment rate for women and minorities in history, the largest tax cut in history, trade deals that are great for America, getting rid of the ISIS leader and giving the credit to the military that did the work, putting America first in all things, exposing the corruption and the greed of politicians and the Deep State, etc.

If you read the Federalist Papers, the Federalist Farmer letters, and the Constitution you will see that what we have for a government now is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned. Point in fact, it is exactly what they feared the most. We have a Congress that is so partisan that the impeachment proceedings are one-sided against the President. The Democrats have all the power; the Intelligence Committee is leading the inquiry instead of the Judiciary Committee; the Chairman of the Committee has final say in who is interviewed, what the witnesses can be asked, who can be present, and what can be brought forth as evidence; the accuser is being kept secret and not allowed to be interviewed in person; only selective information is being leaked to the press; worst of all, the American people are being kept in the dark. The Founders did not want to include impeachment into the Constitution for this very reason.

We have Congressmen/women that have served for thirty, forty, even fifty years. This is, again, not what the Founders envisioned. They envisioned a Congress that would serve for a term or two then return to the real world, their real life, their real job. Why? Because our representatives needed to keep in touch with their constituents. To realize the ramifications of their legislation; to keep Congress from becoming too powerful. We, the People, and Congress determined that a President could serve only two terms so as not to become too powerful, to become a monarch. Isn’t it time that the real power in Washington, in our government, be subjected to the same limitation? The President can do nothing permanent without the consent of Congress. Congress can overrule the President, even if he vetoes legislation, simply by casting another vote. As has been proven in the last three years, Congress can overrule the President by using a Circuit Court that is sympathetic to their cause. This is too much power for any group of people.

The Founders did not want a large government that could rule over the country. They wanted a limited centralized government that had limited power over the people. The States had the power over their citizens, not the Federal Government. Today, we have hundreds of thousands of federal employees in hundreds of agencies, offices, and committees that can ‘legislate’ without being elected. This is the Deep State; those that have not been elected yet have the power to control the citizen’s actions. Who are these people? They are employees of the EPA, DHS, DNR, Commerce Commission, FMCSA, Federal Trade Commission, Federal Communications Commission, etc. These people are not elected to any office but have the authority and power to enact laws that we, the People, are subject to regardless of whether we agree or not.

What are some of these laws? We now must ask permission to hunt or fish and pay for that right. We must ask permission to build a house and pay a fee to do so. We are required to secure our children in car seats up to a certain age. We are limited in our speed on the roads. We must watch what we say (political correctness is of utmost importance – we cannot, under any circumstances, offend anyone). It doesn’t matter what action it is; it is either 1) regulated, 2) taxed, or 3) illegal. This is 95% due to the Deep State and its ability to enact law without debate, consent, or vote by elected representatives.

What does all this have to do with the country being so divided? There are two ideologies at work in the United States; one being Constitutional originalists that believe the Constitution is set in stone and the law of the land. These conservatives also believe in a free market, capitalist economy and limiting government control. The other side believes that the Constitution is a living document meant to be interpreted with every passing fancy, a large, controlling government that the people depend upon, and a Socialist economy that redistributes wealth from those that have, to those that have-not.

The United States grew to be the world’s wealthiest nation by people that were innovators, believers, doers. If Edison hadn’t believed he could make money with his inventions, we probably wouldn’t have the electric light bulb. If Bell hadn’t seen that there would be profit made, we wouldn’t have had the telephone. Ford wouldn’t have created the assembly line for automobile manufacturing. We wouldn’t have gone to the moon. Capitalism and the free market are what encourages innovation. In a little over a hundred and twenty-five years, this country grew to the nation that the world looked to for everything. We had the strongest military, the strongest economy, the greatest inventors, and in a lot of ways, the greatest thinkers. All this is due to our freedoms, our rights as citizens, our values of compensation for effort and work. In short, because we were a capitalist society with little government regulation or control over the people.

There has never been a successful, strong nation that was socialist or communist. Socialism does not encourage innovation or even participation. When the government gets its hands into anything bureaucracy strangles creativity to the point of creativity, innovation, and invention being almost non-existent. Almost. There will always be government-sponsored innovation, but it is shadowed, by far, by the innovations of a free society. Yes, the Russians were the first to put a ship into space, but it was the Americans that were first to put a man into space and to land on the moon. True, the Chinese have developed some pretty good tech, but it doesn’t match the quality of that produced by the United States.

The far-left would have us become a socialist state with the government controlling our healthcare, all our schools, how our homes are built, how much money we can make and where that money would go, what kind of energy we use, car we drive, what we eat, etc. The far-left wants to regulate what companies can charge for their products, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. True, healthcare is expensive and needs to be more consumer-friendly. How do you do that? Less regulation and more free market. Competition is what brings about lower costs and better service. I don’t mean that drug companies, hospitals, clinics, doctors and nurses shouldn’t be licensed and certified as competent. I’m saying that if they weren’t so regulated by policy that there would be more competition in the field and that would lower costs. It isn’t like the FDA doesn’t allow harmful drugs to be distributed to the public. There are hundreds of drugs that have side effects worse than the disease they treat.

The radical left would like to do away with fossil fuels. Oil and gas are what drives the world. Without using petroleum products how would consumer goods be shipped? I really don’t think a solar-powered semi-truck would get the job done as efficiently as a diesel-powered one. With the world being as mobile as it is, how would people travel? Do we go back to sailing across the oceans in ships such as the Mayflower? Do we return to the days of the steam engine train to travel across the nation? Do we go back to the horse and buggy and stagecoach? If the radical left gets their way we will have to; they want to do away with cars, planes, trucks, cruise liners, cargo ships, and trucks.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would like to retrofit all existing buildings, including homes, in the nation to make them totally green with no carbon footprint. Not only would that be fiscally impossible, what is she planning on heating and cooling those buildings with? I don’t think those high rises in New York City have enough roof space for solar panels to run the light, heat, and air conditioning, as well as all the electronics that today’s society depends upon. As for wind generators, well, it takes more energy to construct them than what they would save in their useful lifetime. Ms. Cortez has not come up with any viable solution as of yet. The Green New Deal is nothing more than a way to change the economic structure of our nation to one of government control over private ownership.

The division of the country gets even wider as each day goes by just by actions of the far-left Democrats and the liberal media propagandists. As Democrats commit crime after crime and get away with them without even a slap on the wrist, President Trump is being impeached on nothing more than doing his job. What Rep. Adam Schiff is doing in the way of investigating a supposed quid pro quo is actually a way for the Democrats to get as much dirt on the President as they can on the taxpayer’s dollar for the election. They are doing everything they can to find a crime that he has committed while actual crimes committed by Democrats are going totally ignored.

With the 24/7/365 propaganda against the President by mainstream media and our elected Democrat representatives in Congress, the people of the nation are being torn apart. The liberal voters are taking whatever is fed to them as truth no matter what it is (as long as it is against the President) while conservatives are questioning everything. If a conservative tries to inform a liberal with facts on a subject, that liberal ignores those facts and continues on with their emotional rant. It doesn’t seem to matter that Hillary Clinton obviously engaged in obstruction of justice by smashing phones with hammers, destroying emails, and removing SIM cards that were subpoenaed by Congress. It doesn’t seem to matter that the Clinton campaign and the Obama DOJ engaged in spying on the Trump campaign and using foreign operatives to get negative information on an opposition party. It doesn’t seem to matter that the DOJ lied to the FISA court to obtain warrants against Americans. It doesn’t matter that Joe Biden bragged, on tape, that he engaged in a quid pro quo with the Ukrainians to protect his son. All that matters is that Trump be deposed and destroyed in any way possible with accusations of exactly what the Democrats have done. Trump is guilty and the facts against the Democrats are just conspiracy theories. The country divides more.

Over the last forty years, the liberal left has slowly been indoctrinating our young into the socialist way of thinking. The Millennial generation has become almost 100% socialist. GenZ is up for grabs at this point. The problem is this: with liberal indoctrination from kindergarten through college, the people have not been taught what this country was built on. They have been taught that America is the bad guy; that capitalism is unfair; that the feelings of the few outweigh the rights of the many. Kids don’t know what it means to lose, to have their opinions debased, to not get what they want through throwing tantrums. They have been taught that everyone deserves a trophy, that their feelings are more important than the next person’s, that freedom of speech is only for those that agree with them, etc. With this way of thinking contradicting the Constitution and the ideology of the Founding Fathers, the country has become more divided now than during the Civil War. With conservatives on one side fighting for the God-given rights that the Constitution guarantees and the liberals on the other trying to take down everything that America is.

The Republican Party has never had a backbone. The elected representatives have never stood up and faced down the Democrats in Congress no matter what went on. They have always believed in fighting fairly and openly. The Democrats, on the other hand, have fought dirty, low and with no mercy. They would do anything to win. Anything. That is being proven right now, today, with all that is going on in Washington, DC. And as the left fights tooth-and-nail against the right, the country is being torn apart. The sad part about it is that the Democrats, and the left-leaning Republicans, don’t care. They would see our nation totally destroyed just to gain power. What they don’t understand is that if they destroy the country, they will have no one, and nothing, to rule over.

It doesn’t matter which side you are on. You can be a Democrat or a Republican, a conservative or a liberal, a socialist or a capitalist. If you don’t start believing in the United States as a sovereign nation, with immigration laws, Constitutional rights for citizens, equal justice under the law, an unbiased media, and fair elections, then you are part of the problem. You are part of the division of this great nation. If you can’t question what is being shoved down your throat by the media and politicians, and believe all that you read and hear, then you are part of the problem. If you are one of the millions that believe that only the government can fix the problems in the country, then you are part of the problem. We don’t need a huge, unchecked central government. That is not what the Founders wanted. We don’t need to be regulated so tightly that it will get to the point where we have to ask permission to use the restroom, and then worry about who is in there.

The Constitution enumerates the powers of Congress. That is all the power they have; no more, no less. We, the people, have allowed the federal government to grow to such a monstrosity that it will never be the way it was intended. As long as there are those that like the government doing for them, providing for them, thinking for them, we will never truly be the free nation that we started as. We have been divided so much that it has become another Civil War. Not with shot and powder, but with regulation, propaganda, and ideology.

Maybe we can fix the problem without going to a physical war. If we can only return to the founding principles of the nation; if we can go back to the Constitution, as written. Maybe we can heal the nation of the wounds inflicted by dividing ideology. Maybe.

Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave

“Be careful the chosen path and the webs of practiced deceit, for where they led, all were responsible for the outcome of their fate.

“Good or bad, no one could be blamed save the person who brought favor or destruction down upon their own head.”

Those words by Sherrilyn Kenyon in At Death’s Door makes a lot of sense. Then again, Ms. Kenyon makes a lot of sense in most of her books. This quote is notable now because of where we are in the political arena currently. We have the far-left wing radicals, both Democrat and Republican, that are banging at the door of impeaching President Donald Trump while some are campaigning for the White House next year.

How does the quote match the circumstances? If you think about what is going on in both camps you can figure it out. On the impeachment front, the Democrat chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, has been deceiving the American people for three years with outbursts of having clear evidence against the President. Did he have any evidence? If he did, he should be charged with obstruction of justice because he never brought it forth in any investigation against the President.

After the now-infamous phone call to the new Ukrainian President, Rep. Schiff has announced at least two ‘whistleblowers;’ one of which had no first-hand knowledge of anything the President said. The other supposedly overheard the conversation. Both say that President Trump engaged in a quid pro quo with the Ukrainians by asking if they would look into the corruption scandal of the 2016 election. He didn’t ask for anything in return, just asked for a favor. He also suggested the Ukrainians look into the firing of the head prosecutor in the Burisma Holdings investigation when then-Vice President Joe Biden told them either fire the prosecutor or they wouldn’t get a billion dollars in foreign aid. The problem here is Rep. Schiff is keeping the identity of the whistleblowers a secret and not letting them testify.

Since then, the Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, has called for a formal impeachment inquiry with Rep. Schiff heading it up. Why would the chairman of the Intelligence Committee head up an impeachment inquiry when that would be more in the Judiciary Committee’s realm? Maybe because Rep. Adam Schiff is not quite on the up and up. He has kept all his interviews secret, behind closed doors. House members are not allowed in to listen and can only read the transcripts of the testimony with one of Rep. Schiff’s staff present. Only he can subpoena witnesses, only he can interview witnesses, witnesses are not to be cross-examined by the Republicans and the President is not allowed to have his attorney present during any interviews.

In other words, for those in California, it is a kangaroo court with a dictatorial, corrupt Representative heading it up.

How does the quote represent the 2020 Democrat presidential hopefuls? Each and every one of them is doing the politician thing spectacularly. They all are espousing the virtues of socialism, denouncing the evils of capitalism, and telling the American public that only the rich are going to pay for all their freebies.

The biggest deceit here is that only the rich will pay. There isn’t enough wealth in the country to pay for all their free stuff; which comes to anywhere from $9 Trillion to $15 Trillion per year. Next is that socialism is so great. Income equality, social justice against capitalism, open borders, abortion on demand even up to, and if wanted after birth. What the Democrats aren’t telling anyone is that all this is, is a stepping stone to a total government takeover of our lives. Socialism is the first step towards communism and communism has never achieved anything, anywhere, anytime, only total power to the government. When they talk about equality for all, they mean equally poverty, starvation, sickness, and hopelessness for everyone; except the privileged elite class that the government deems worthy.

What the far-left radical Democrats, and Republicans, don’t seem to understand is that we, the people of the United States, have tasted freedoms never given to a country’s citizens anywhere in the world. We, alone, have the guaranteed right to keep and bear arms. We have the right to speak out against our government and those that serve in government. We have the right to protest, peacefully. We are protected from unwarranted searches and seizure of our property. We won’t give those rights up willingly. We will use the Constitution as our biggest, strongest weapon. We, the people, are the rightful owners of the courts and government. We will not go peacefully into the night.

To make things better, we have the mainstream media. You know the ones: CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, etc. How are they making things better? It was in April of 2016 that Politico said that Trump needed to be impeached. You read right. Before he got nominated, Politico was saying that he needed to be thrown out of office. After the election in November, the rest followed suit. In less than forty-eight hours after the results of the election came in, “Trump has to be impeached.” It hasn’t stopped since. Every day the mainstream media accuses the President of some manufactured impeachable offense.

For over two years the nation was put through investigations into Donald J. Trump. There was the FBI investigation; the House Intelligence Committee investigation; the Senate Judiciary Committee investigation; and the two-year Mueller investigation. The Democrats knew that Trump had colluded with the Russians to win the election. They knew it. Through all those investigations there was not a shred of evidence that Donald Trump, his campaign, or any of his associates colluded with any Russian to win the election.

Since they couldn’t prove collusion, they decided to accuse him of obstruction of justice. After all, he fired James Comey, head of the FBI, for mishandling information, leaking to the press, and ineptitude. Since he was head of the FBI that had to mean that Trump was trying to end the collusion investigation. Mueller couldn’t prove that, either.

What the Mueller investigation did uncover was that the Clinton Campaign, Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation had bought a report (the dossier) from a former British spy filled with unverified dirt on Donald Trump from the Russians and/or Ukrainians. There is audio of Rep. Adam Schiff talking to Russians asking for nude photos of Trump and a prostitute. (This was a hoax perpetrated by what sounded like Russians, but Schiff was very eager to obtain these photos.) The Ukrainians admitted to interfering with the elections on request from the Clinton campaign. This has not been investigated by any Democrat committee or organization or the Congress.

Is this what our political parties are becoming? Is deceit, deception, corruption, quest for ultimate power the norm? It seems as though it is. The now formal impeachment inquiry has no chance of removing Donald Trump from office. The Senate knows that there is nothing impeachable that the President has done. They also know that there is nothing Constitutional about the inquiry and that it is being controlled totally by the Democrats. All this is, is a political ploy to undermine Trump’s campaign for the 2020 election.

If you can’t win with policy, cheat. There is no candidate on the Democrat side that would win an election against Trump and all that he has done for the country. With record low unemployment, record-high employment of minorities, record high stock market, historic tax cuts and regulation cuts, effective trade deals, stronger border security, working toward getting us out of endless wars, working toward de-nuclearizing North Korea, etc., the Democrats just can’t compete. They are running on socialism, open borders, abortion on demand (up to and even after birth), free everything for illegal aliens, stacking the Supreme Court, eliminating the Electoral College (thus ensuring Democrat wins because New York, California, and Illinois are the most populated states and are Democrat), and eliminating the Second Amendment.

Rep. Al Greene stated it so eloquently, “The only way to beat Trump is to impeach him.” Rep. Maxine Waters has been screaming (literally) for three years, “Impeach 45!” The mainstream media, which is just the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, has been reporting rumor instead of facts since before the election and parroting the cry for impeachment. Hollywood celebrities have joined in, also. This is a web of enormous proportions against a duly elected President. The far-left radicals, both Democrat and Republican, are doing everything they can to undo the 2016 election and go against the will of the people. The Founding Fathers were terrified of this.

From Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, etc., all the way to Reagan, politicians, conservative celebrities, philosophers, statesmen, authors, and everyday citizens can be quoted saying that we, the people, must be ardent in protecting our freedoms from tyranny and it will be we, the people, that will ultimately allow the government to become so big and so powerful as to be able to take those freedoms from us. The last three years have proven just that. The political machine in Washington, DC has shown just how corrupt it is and how far it will go to protect itself from the people. The Washington elite would rather destroy the entire country than give up their power and wealth. That is why they must get rid of Donald Trump. He is their Waterloo.

Richard Nixon was persecuted by the Democrats. He resigned before his impeachment was over. He committed crimes. Bill Clinton was impeached. The impeachment articles enumerated, I believe, eleven felonies. He was not removed from office. Both of these Presidents were afforded due process. They both had their attorneys present during questioning. They both had the opportunity to have witnesses on their behalf. Witnesses for the prosecution were cross-examined by the defense. Both of these impeachments were public. Point in fact, I can remember Senator Sam Irvine asking John Dean questions on TV.

What are the Democrats giving Donald Trump? Nothing. So far, the witnesses have all been disgruntled, former employees and/or Obama era employees. All interrogations/interviews have been behind closed doors. There has been no cross-examination, no witnesses for the defense, Trump’s attorneys are not allowed, and the public only knows what Rep. Adam Schiff decides to leak. In other words, for those of you in California, there has been no due process afforded President Donald J. Trump. There has been no crime committed. Articles of Impeachment have not been filed or voted on (this is supposed to happen this week). I’ve said it and said it and said it: this is a kangaroo court using communist-style investigating and interrogating/interviewing. Unconstitutional is an understatement.

The web of deceit, of corruption, is enlarging exponentially each day. The far-left radicals will soon learn that their ideology, their insane hatred of the President, the Constitution, conservatives, and the country as a whole will destroy the very thing that they want to control. The United States is on a precipice with one foot on a skateboard and the other hanging over the edge. They will have no one to blame but themselves when the economy collapses under their socialist policies, the government is overrun by the illegal aliens that they are protecting, or they are beheaded by the terrorists that enter the country proclaiming refugee status.

What Are The Congressional Powers

Congress, the elected representatives from each state that is responsible for legislating law. The Founders enumerated, in the Constitution, exactly what the powers of Congress are. Article One, Section Two, Paragraph Five: “The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.” Article One, Section Three, Paragraph Six: “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present.” These are important at the moment as the Speaker of the House has declared a formal impeachment inquiry.

The enumerated powers of Congress are in Article One, Section Eight:

The Congress shall have the Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises, to pay the Debts and Provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts, and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow Money on the credit of The United States;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;

To establish Post Offices and post Roads;

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Time to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

To constitute Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court;

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;

To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of Particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; - And

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Those are the powers that Congress has. Any and all other powers are reserved to the several States and the people. Since we, the people, elect our representatives to fulfill these duties, they cannot be delegated to any other persons, offices, agencies, or departments. As I have stated in previous articles, there are a plethora of rules and regulations that are set by the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the EPA, the Department of Human Services, the Department of Homeland Security, the IRS, etc. In other words, Congress has delegated legislation to persons, agencies, offices, or departments that have not been elected to represent us in any way. Congress has been derelict in its’ duties.

For the last several weeks, Congress has been trying to get the President to use military force against Turkey for its’ force against the Kurds in Syria. The President cannot do this without the consent of Congress, and they refuse to take a vote on the subject. To make matters worse, Turkey is a NATO member. The United States cannot use military force against a NATO ally without consequences. Article Five of the NATO Charter states that if one member is attacked it is an attack on all members and all members will go to the aid of the attacked nation. If the United States was to attack Turkey, then the other twenty-seven nations would have to come to the aid of Turkey against us. The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives would love for President Trump to do something that inept so they would have good reason to impeach him.

Article Two, Section Four states: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” So far, after four investigations conducted by the FBI, the Senate, the House, and the Special Prosecutor, there has been no crime of any kind committed by the President. Now the House has started another inquiry into some manufactured crime and are conducting interrogations, sorry, interviews, with former employees of the State Department and White House.

All these interviews are being done in secret, in the SCIF room, by Rep. Adam Schiff. He, alone, knows what is being said. The Democrats are the only ones that can subpoena witnesses. The President is not allowed to have his attorney present at any of these interviews, Republicans are not allowed to cross-examine any of these witnesses or call any of their own, and no one is allowed to read the transcripts of these interviews without a Democrat present. In other words, the President is not being afforded due process and only negative testimony is being given.

It was leaked that a Ukrainian official was interviewed and refused to say that the President committed extortion or blackmail, in essence, a quid pro quo, when asking for assistance in an open and ongoing corruption investigation regarding the 2016 election and possible abuse of power, a quid pro quo, by then-Vice President Joe Biden. Rep. Schiff attempted to coerce this official into saying the President did something that he had not done.

The Democrats have been demanding impeachment since Donald Trump was elected. By that, I mean less than forty-eight hours after the election and a month and a half before he was inaugurated. He was not supposed to win the election. He is a Washington outsider. He is not one of the political elites. He isn’t a politician. He is getting things done that our elected officials haven’t for decades. He is ruffling feathers and draining the political swamp of Washington, DC. And the Democrats, and some Republicans, aren’t liking that very much. Thus, this insane obsession to impeach him and get him out of office, or at the very least, keep him from being re-elected to a second term.

Yes, the House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment – for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. The Constitution does not say a President can be impeached because the opposing party doesn’t like him. What the Democrats are attempting to do is overturn the 2016 election against the will of the people of the United States. It is a silent coup to take control of the government. Some conservative talk show hosts have theorized that the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and the Chairmen of several committees would like to rid the White House of both President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence and make the Speaker President. That would give the Democrats control; at least until next November.

As it is, there is nothing Constitutional about this impeachment. There has been no crime committed; they are searching for something to convict him on. There has been no vote of the whole House for this inquiry. There has been no due process. Rep. Schiff is using banana republic tactics for his kangaroo court. The inquiry was started because of a phone call between heads of state that should have been classified and has since been made public that supposedly proved Trump was forcing the Ukrainians to investigate a political rival, Joe Biden (who is running for President but hasn’t been nominated to be the candidate). The transcript of the call was made public and there was no quid pro quo. The whistleblower is not known to anyone except Rep. Schiff and he is not producing the witness or interviewing him/her. The whistleblower did not have firsthand knowledge but was going on overheard conversations and there have started to be questions as to whether there really is a whistleblower at all. Rep. Schiff declared for two years that he had incontrovertible evidence of Russian collusion, but the Mueller Investigation proved there was no collusion. Rep. Schiff recited, on record, to the House a transcript of the President’s call to the Ukrainian President that was a total fabrication. In a nutshell, Rep. Schiff is a liar and a charlatan; not one to be trusted at all.
