Trump’s Deal & State of Emergency

Today President Trump finally declared a State of Emergency with regard to the invasion at our southern border. This is long overdue, and what most people like Jim Acosta @ C.N.N. don’t want to recognize, is the crisis has long been manifesting itself within our borders.

 Our Public Assistance programs are shelling out hundreds of billions of fraudulent payments to illegal immigrants that are living in America. Yes, my friends, that’s right, billions with a B. Recent investigations show that about seventy percent of those here illegally are tapping into our public assistance programs, and most of them have no plans of letting go of this cash cow. Most of the others are in prison, and they too have no intention of letting the cash cow go either. The problem can’t be blamed solely on the illegal immigrants, though. The federal government has an extremely poor track record of both verification and accountability in most of the welfare, or Socialist programs, as I regard them.

These programs are a runaway train wreck waiting to explode one day, as they drain the resources paid into them by working businesses and individuals. This is why people abuse them, because the federal government rarely actually sends a person of authority to the locations where the payments are going, never mind, to verify who is actually spending our money or cashing the checks. This ballooning financial burden gets a little worse as each illegal gains entry and immediately begins exploiting this lucrative means of income. The biggest lie being perpetrated by C.N.N. and other networks including Fox is that most of the people climbing our fences at the border are coming to work. Why the heck would someone who is used to getting paid twenty dollars a month working in Guatemala work here, when they can get twenty thousand or more annually on public assistance? Loopholes in the system and the lack of checks and balances can pay for food, housing, transportation, medical care, education, even funeral expenses.

This and finding a way to give voting rights to illegals is the real reason the Socialist wing of the Democratic party is fighting so hard to deceive Americans. It’s simple, if illegals keep pouring in, and the government continues to support them, the voting bloc of the dependent grows to a point where it out numbers those who are opposed. Socialism is then the inevitable outcome.

Disparity is the Fault of the Desperate

If wealth redistribution by a government was a feasible solution to the income inequality problem in the United States, George Soros, or Oprah Winfrey, or Elizabeth Warren, for that matter, could set up a ‘go fund me’ site for all the wealthy Liberals.

The site could then redistribute the millions, if not billions (if you go by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez seventy percent taxation suggestion), to all those poor less fortunate overworked and underpaid folks they pretend to be so concerned about.

 According to Mr. Ryan, Democrat Congressman, the richest 400 people in this country have the same wealth as the poorest 150 million. These entire hypocrite Democrats like Sanders, Warren, Obama, Winfrey, and dozens of actors and actresses are all worth hundreds of millions each, with Winfrey alone worth billions. If these Democrats are so unhappy about class disparity let them solve it. It is well within their financial grasp to give them money, if you do any basic math.

Why should it fall on the backs of those who work, in some cases a lifetime to achieve, to give any part of their money up for this absurd cause? The disparity is the fault of the desperate, not the rest of the working class.

 Let’s try showing the results of those who came from nothing and have, through hard work, made millions, instead of focusing on the lazy and dependent. That’s what’s great about America; I don’t have to feel sorry for anyone if I choose not to. I don’t need government to force that on me.

2020 Democratic Hopefuls

All the Democratic hopefuls for the 2020 Presidency seem to have one common theme, Medicare for all. Just the past Sunday morning on Maria Bartiromo’s morning program, “Sunday Morning Futures”, on Fox Business channel, one of what is considered the more conservative Democrats, Tim Ryan of Ohio, was repeating the mantra that we (Americans) pay the most for our health care, but get the least.

 Where the heck do these Democrats get this stuff? America has not only the most available, but also some of the finest health care in the world, especially when it comes to surgical and cancer treatment. Every country that uses a single payer system, with the exception of maybe Sweden, people flee in huge numbers every year to the U.S. for any major surgery or complicated treatment.

So when I hear the lie being spread about Americans pay the most, but get the least, I have to ask; where are these great countries? Where are the statistics to back these assertions? And finally, if there is a statistic out there I want to see direct correlations of population to the availability, procedural success rates, and quality of care, not obscurities of statistics in tiny countries with no comparative relevance.

Stacey Abram’s Rebuttal

I have never seen a more lame rebuttal of the President’s S.O.T.U. address. Abrams spent more time portraying herself as a victim than making any relevant point. Who in their right mind would allow this idiot on the gubernatorial ticket? Never mind the possibility that she would be given the authority to govern a state. She spoke of “Social and Economic Justice” i.e., Socialism.

 My question is – Who decides what is socially or economically appropriate, and who makes law to set the guidelines of compliance? Do we choose a disgruntled black person, like Abrams, who thinks the world has been unfair to her or her parents? Maybe we choose an immigrant, who has been deported several times and relies on public assistance to live in this country. Maybe a person from the Middle East who was raised in a home where part of evening prayer was to chant “Death to America”. Should we choose a self proclaimed Socialist, like Bernie Sanders? Or find a real Socialist who was a dictator from a country that used the guidelines of Socialism to govern.

What would the “Social and Economic Justice” police force look like? What would be the penalties imposed on those found guilty of the crime of social injustice? As this country continues to elect more of these nuts to public office, we head farther down the path of “Big Brother” having all control over us. Americans are getting closer to losing the free America that both we the people, and the rest of these nut jobs, have had the luxury of living in. The same America that allows these radicals the liberty to espouse this kind of  treasonous rhetoric.

Dear President Trump:

For Christ’s sake, there is another invasion force of migrants heading here, Pelosi will not negotiate, it is time to call this a national emergency, already! Let the chips fall where they may, politically.

Face it Mr. President, the next two years are going to be nothing less than more of this crap from the Democrats. Ask yourself, what do you think Obama would do in this situation? The answer is anything that is necessary to move forward with the agenda. Stop playing a stooge for the Democratic left, grow a pair and get this done. Otherwise the Democrats are going to find a way to tie you directly to the suffering of those laid off government workers. Face facts! The Democrats are just hell-bent on impeachment anyway. ”The Art of The Deal” will not work in this situation.

 Obama had no problem governing from the Executive Branch and neither should you, Mr. President. Forget about the optics, and just get things moving forward, despite Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of the Socialists. The political price has already been paid at this point.

Socialism

Any person attempting to run for any public office, who professes openly that they are a Socialist, should be banned from serving in the United States of America. The concept of Socialism directly contradicts the free principles of our Constitutional Republic, and has no place in public service in government or otherwise.

These people have every right to protest our way of governance, but in serving as U.S. Representatives their objective can do nothing less than attempt to tear down the fabric of our freedom. Let the hard lessons of Stalin, Hitler, Chavez, Chairmen Mao, Fidel Castro and Czar Nicholas not be forgotten.

 America is the only America in the world! Let it not be lost to the deception of the Socialist ideal.

Government Shutdown

There is a perfectly reasonable way to deter these government shutdowns. When Congress reaches these types of impasses, and the government is partially shut down, the first people that should go without a paycheck should be those responsible for the shutdown. Both houses of Congress should be the first to lose their paychecks. Like Dr. Phil says, “You just don’t reward bad behavior”.

 As with any circumstance, if your son or daughter wrecks the car, they must learn from the experience before you buy them a new one, otherwise the mistake will reoccur. Such as the case before our country now. Only Congress can fix this, and only Congress should be punished for it. I suggest that not only they not be paid, but that the pay they would normally receive be redirected to keep National Parks and tourist sites open.

Not only are these politicians not learning from their bad behavior, but they are thumbing their noses at any attempt to rectify the situation. Nancy Pelosi somehow has the notion that the President serves at her convenience. Her most recent stunt, demanding that the President not give The State of The Union Address as scheduled, containing blatant language in her letter to him, that directly contradicts the President’s constitutional obligation and authority (see Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution). The President is required to give the address, and he has the authority to call both houses of Congress before him to do so, at any time he deems it necessary. Pelosi and these other obstructionists have the tail wagging the dog here. Neither the President nor the public serve Congress, they are there to serve the people.

 Nancy Pelosi is directly responsible, and she and others have either been vacationing in Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, or planning to be a.w.o.l. with a trip at the American taxpayers expense, which includes, by the way, a security detail, to the Middle East for another week.

This further solidifies the fact that Nancy Pelosi has no regard for the welfare of those who are going without pay, which she espouses to be concerned for. Graham Ledger, a commentator on One America News articulated perfectly, what President Trump should do: He should give The State of The Union address, as scheduled, call both houses of Congress, as is his Constitutional authority, and at that time call the border crisis A State of Emergency and put an immediate, stop to these obstructionists agenda, for the sake of the laid off workers and the rest of America.

The Demonization of Opioids

A recent statistic about opioid use has been hitting the headlines. The propaganda being pushed into weak minded Americans is that Americans are more likely to die from an opioid overdose than a car accident. The fact that the number of opioid overdoses resulting in death has surpassed those from car accidents does not mean that any American is more likely to die from an overdose.

First of all the statistics being compared to one another is like comparing apples to oranges. One simple reason; Statistics of auto related deaths are based on the amount of licensed or registered drivers, most of which are American citizens. The statistics of overdoses doesn’t follow the same criteria for any practical baseline comparisons. I can agree that there were more deaths from opioid overdoses than car accidents, but that absolutely doesn’t mean that Americans are more likely to die. This is pure propaganda. There is a problem with rampant over use of opioids, but fear mongering is not the way to address the problem. In addition, it is a huge mistake for illegal use and legal use to be lumped together in the same category.

 There are huge numbers of Americans that benefit greatly from small doses of narcotic medications, and can use them for decades responsibly with very few adverse medical complications from them. In fact, eastern cultures have been using unrefined narcotics to treat chronic pain for thousands of years, with patients commonly living into their eighties, even after many decades of use.

 Overdose statistics are gathered from hospital and law enforcement statistics, which don’t specify whether the person that died was a citizen or not. Therefore to compare and accuse all Americans of being susceptible to meet that fate is extremely disingenuous. These statistics are not even gathered from a baseline of people that are prescribed opioids, or even estimated users of opioids, legal or illegal. The fact that the statistic is out there is alarming, but probably can me more accurately attributed to an increase in illegal contraband flowing across our southern border along with the massive increase in illegal immigrants that more likely responsible for the sudden rise in overdoses than anything else.

Flawed USA Immigration Policies

I have my own personal “tale of woe” to tell about how our nation’s flawed immigration policies have negatively impacted my life. I want people to really understand the mentality of most of these migrants from a personal interaction perspective. I spent the better part of my life working in construction, side by side with migrants from all different countries; I can tell you first hand some facts that may elude most folks.

 Most of the immigrants that I encountered were here illegally. People need to understand that for the most part, these immigrants come from extreme poverty. Yes! Extreme poverty! The American ghetto looks like paradise compared to this kind of poverty. In most of these Central American countries, for a few pesos one can buy a live chicken and some dried beans or rice, enough for the one or two main meals during the week. These people come from countries where the law is taken into one’s own hands for the most part. The police are mostly pawns for the drug and other illicit trades. Sexual assaults, muggings, robbery, murders, drug overdoses, and homelessness, are simply the normal way of life and a direct result of the dysfunction of how these Dictatorship governed countries operate.

Now back to my original point – when I worked on job sites and had conversations with those who knew enough English, they came here and worked, with the sole intention to bring the rest of their family here. As much of their paycheck as possible was sent back home to be saved up to be able to pay the coyotes to bring their family here. As more and more of these migrants entered the construction field, the price paid out for jobs dropped. As a drywall subcontractor, paid by the square foot, and making decent money, in just a few years, it became impossible for me to afford to have a new vehicle and a mortgage payment. The main companies that I subcontracted work from figured out that it was way more profitable to bring in illegal workers, house them, train them with the skills necessary, in house and pay them less than half of what it cost the company to sub out the jobs. These immigrants came from such poor conditions that to be crammed eight or so people into a small apartment and getting a paycheck of any kind was like a gift from God to them. I have to laugh out loud, when these politicians make general comparison of economic strife of these immigrants to our way of life here in America, and use these skewed guidelines to form the concepts of immigration laws.

This is a story that millions of American workers could tell, if anyone ever had the wherewithal to research it. Every single subcontractor that I was associated with experienced this, and this was back in the early nineties. I can only imagine what has become of the industry now. All this type of labor is probably being done now by first generation immigrants. I guess that’s what President Obama meant when he and other Democrats said “they are doing jobs no Americans want to do”.  What they mean is the jobs that no Americans can afford to do anymore. Fortunately, for myself I was able, with some continued education, a sharp wit, a few lucky breaks, and hard work to change careers. May of my colleagues lost all they had worked for years to accomplish. That is the true immigration crisis in America, not the bleeding heart propaganda about how hard it has been for these people that struggle to reach our border.

On the Matter of a Manufactured Crisis at the Southern Border

On what most on the left considered short notice, President Trump gave a public address to the nation to explain his concerns for the security and well being for the American people with regard to the situation on our southern border.

The disturbing thing was not what was said in the address, but the response from the leaders of the Democratic party, particularly the comments made by Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Immediately following the President’s remarks, they issued their rebuttal. Their claims were that the crisis on the southern border is all a manufactured crisis by the President. The complicit media then set out with the usual propaganda campaign, literally repeating the hypocritical statements from Pelosi and Schumer word for word.

The Democrats are accurate in their analysis that it is a manufactured crisis, but it has been manufactured by the Democrats, through an aggressive advertising campaign perpetrated by operatives that have been deliberately sent to the Central American region to convince people, particularly, pregnant women and children, to come to America for the promise of a better life, with all the freebies that come with our social welfare programs. These people were deliberately told that there were  loopholes in American immigration laws, and to claim asylum when they arrived at our border. These migrants were also told that women with children would be cared for and given entry into America. The people were then given instructions and routes to follow, as well as some logistics to provide food, water, and shelter along most of the journey.

The sad thing about this is not only  the denial by Democrats to admit the facts, but the cover up of the whole scheme. To deny that there is a crisis at the southern border, and having the complicit media follow suit is nothing less than criminal, and those responsible for this humanitarian crisis should be prosecuted. The media has been reporting about these migrant “caravans” for months now, and not only is this a threat to national security, but the migrants attempting to get here are being sexually assaulted, robbed, plagued with illnesses, and risking their very lives because of the deception perpetrated on them by these Democratic operatives. All  this done to try to gain Democratic majority and control in government to figure out, in their best interest, ways to spend the American taxpayers money.

You can be certain that someone in a think tank operating in the interest of the Democratic party somewhere, thought this mass migration would tear at Americans heart strings and guilt all of us into favoring the Democratic party for compassionate humanitarian reasons.

Let me put this out there: If twenty five strangers showed up at your house demanding not only entry and permanent lodging, but to be fed, clothed, and medically evaluated, and treated if necessary. Would you just open the door? This is the situation at our southern border. Pundits on both sides of the aisle are criticizing the President for considering a declaration of national emergency to address this situation. There are even Republicans that are saying that there is a high political price that President Trump faces for doing so.

The Democrats are already trying desperately to come up with ways to impeach the President. How much higher can the political price get at this point? If the President acts now, I submit that he can fund the project of protecting Americans from this imminent threat through military action, deter the incentive, as well as remove any political leverage that the Democrats are holding over him on this issue. The Army Corps of Engineers can then build the wall, as well as roll out rows of razor wire in areas where it isn’t practical because of adverse natural terrain to construct the wall, barrier, or fence, as some would rather call it.
