It is interesting to hear the response to renewed insistence on the need for the White House ballroom. They are claiming that President Trump is saddling the country with a huge unnecessary expense. We definitely need it and it is not at taxpayers expense. It is being built with donated funds. They never said anything when President Obama made extensive renovations to the White House at taxpayer expense. I have not seen a President so attacked and lied about as President Trump. This is the third assassination attempt. I don’t remember any President who faced two, let alone three assassination attempts. They have continually claimed he is destroying Democracy by protecting the security of our voting system to prevent fraud and rooting out fraud and government waste. It was President Biden that raided the Treasury of a couple billion dollars after he lost the election and before leaving office. A lot of it was never accounted for but a lot went to the campaign chests of prominent Democrats. They claimed he colluded with the Russians. Sorry, that was President Obama and Hillary Clinton and the accusations were funded by the Clinton Foundation. They claimed he incited a riot at the Jan 6 rally. Sorry, that was Antifa agitators funded by Democrats. President Trump urged them to go home. He also suggested they call out the National Guard but Nancy Peloisi refused to do it leaving the Capital with very little protection. They are claiming he is responsible for the high gas prices. Sorry, that was President Biden who shut down American oil fields and cancelled the Canadian pipeline to force us to buy from the mid eastern countries claiming he was protecting our environment. The war against Iran is only forcing up prices because we are dependent on mid Eastern countries for oil. It takes a while to restart oil fields once they are shut down. You don’t just turn on the faucet again. They claim he is threatening Social Security but it was President Biden that threw open our borders and offered Social Security to illegal immigrants who didn’t pay into it and plunged our country into further debt making it more difficult to redeem the government bonds that they used to secure the Social Security fund.

Virginia has just joined 17 other States and the District of Columbia in attempting to subvert the will of the people. They has passed legislation awarding their electoral college delegates to the winner of the popular vote nationwide, regardless of who the voters of the State vote for. In other words, a vast majority of voters in a State may vote for Republicans but its delegates will vote for Democrats if the Democrats win the popular vote nationwide. The electoral college was instituted to prevent a few large population States from determining the election. Candidates have to win a majority of the States. It is even more important today with widespread attempts to corrupt the ballot box. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote against Trump by a very slim margin, only because she won heavily in California. She lost in every other State in the union, including many States controlled by Democrats. It is now known that millions of illegal immigrants in California were registered to vote and many of them voted. They alone could have pushed her over to win the popular vote. If so, she would have become President based on millions of illegal votes, but was prevented by the Electoral College. California, New York, and Minnesota alone harbor millions of illegal immigrants and are known for their corruption in elections. The Electoral College is needed to prevent the corruption in a few States from undermining the will of the people.

I look at the facts and find it hard to grasp how anyone who looks at the facts can believe anything that the liberal media says. Unfortunately our schools have discouraged students from questioning what they are told and conditioned them to accept the answers they are given. Strong control of our social and public media has allowed them to peddle a continuous stream of lies and distorted truth while censoring the facts to promote everything from abortion and gender confusion to climate change fears. They have been able to push through a multitude of irrational policies by pushing emotional arguments and shutting down debate in the public forum and in our universities. It is important to study the issues and the facts to make rational decisions if we are to pull our nation out of the downward spiral it is in. I taught Sociology in college for several years and have tried to pull together a comprehensive study of the major issues we face in government, economics, immigration, health, education, and welfare to aid in serious discussion of the issues we face today. Liberals have tried to shut down discussion because they know their programs are based solely on emotions and cannot withstand exposure to the facts. In addition, I have tried to bring together a serious study of the values that made America great and how they are being eroded by liberal values.

While liberals have criticized Christianity for its treatment of women, they ignore the fact that Christianity values women and motherhood far above most other religions. Most cultures and religions range from ignoring the value of women to enslaving them. Most of the benefits women enjoy are the result of Judaism and Christianity. Though men oversaw the business of the church, the women oversaw the needs of the community. They served formally and informally as teachers, nurses, and Social service workers caring for the needy in the community. Most of those who mistreat and devalue women in our society have nothing to do with the Christian faith. The wife-beaters and the pimps are not only outside the church but are strongly condemned by the church. While liberal women claim that society views women as sex objects, our society as a whole, due to the influence of Christianity, condemned such a view. It is the liberal influence which has resulted in the increasing view of women as sex objects in our society. Liberal women, true to the liberal philosophy ignored the facts and used such arguments to open the door to allow women to use themselves as sex objects to attract men and have opened the doors to the widespread exploitation of women we see today. As a result, it has been increasingly difficult to enforce laws protecting women from rape and children from incest. (See “Truly In The World, But Not Of It-part-A” under “”Women’s Liberation And Women’s Rights” by Lulu Press) While they claim that they are pushing for the liberation of women, they have broken down the laws protecting women, which their mothers and grandmothers fought so hard for.

We are faced with an attack on women like never before. Our country was founded by people who believed that a man protected his wife and she worked right along side him. Men did not dominate women but worked with them to build America. While women weren’t allowed to vote or actively participate in government affairs, they were highly respected. Perhaps men felt they were protecting women or they were protecting the family, but women weren’t looked down on generally. Some men dominated women and abused them but it does not seem to be a general practice. Men that abused women or mistreated them often quickly found themselves put in their place by other men who did not tolerate that. Women were active in civic work and charity work as well as working to improve their communities, as well as taking care of their children and helping care for both sets of parents as they got older. Mothers trained their children for taking their place in society while their husbands worked or they worked alongside their husbands on the farm or in a family business. The liberal philosophy has actually degraded the place of women by demonizing staying home to raise kids and traditional women’s occupations like nursing and childcare. It has demonized women in general and forced them to be like men, causing them to be ashamed of their natural desires and feelings. It has demonized men and turned women against them and wonders why they don’t get along. They have destroyed the family and disrupted the normal training of children so many children are reaching adulthood while still thinking like children and our society has paid dearly for it. Society expects the school to train up children like the family did but it doesn’t work because the kids don’t have any consistent example. Society now says that a single man or single woman, or two men or two women can teach a child what they need to know to be a boy or girl and how to relate to the opposite sex when the children never see it demonstrated. Society expects a boy or girl to grown up to be well adjusted while it confuses kids so they can’t even figure out if they are a boy or a girl. The current trend is not seeking to build a better future like they claim, they are seeking to destroy civilization so they can seize control.

Apportionments for the House of Representatives is based on the total resident population of the fifty States. The total number of representatives has been set at 441. 435 from the 50 States and one from the District of Columbia and each of the five US territories. It is reapportioned after every Census count to ensure everyone’s vote is equal Liberals claim the illegal immigrants should be counted because they are losing population as residents flee the State and they are replacing them with illegal immigrants to maintain their representation in the House. Conservatives feel that it unfairly gives Congressional seats to liberal States and deprives legal voters of representation since the immigrants are not here legally. Since the delegates are apportioned by population to give equal voting power to everyone, counting illegal immigrants, who can’t vote, in apportioning seats, gives voters in liberal States more voting power than conservative States. If a representative is assigned to every one million people, and all people are counted, a conservative State with one million legal residents and no illegal residents gets one representative representing one million voters but a liberal State with one million legal residents and one million illegal immigrants totaling two million people gets two representatives, one that represents the one million voters, and one that represents the one million illegal immigrants, who can’t legally vote.

The members of the House of Representatives are reapportioned after each Census to ensure that each Representative represents approximately an equal number of voters. Since illegal immigrants cannot vote legally, it was felt they should not be included in the Census. Liberals claim that the Founding Fathers wanted everyone counted, not just voters and refer to the 1787 Compromise where they allowed slaves to be counted as three fifths for the Census. The Continental Congress was debating the apportionment of taxes for each State which was determined by population. The Northern States wanted the slaves counted as part of the population so the Southern States would pay their fair share but the Southern States didn’t want them counted in order to reduce their taxes. They finally reached a compromise where the slaves would be counted as three fifths of a person. Indians were excluded from the count until 1860 when those living off the reservations were counted and in 1900, they began counting Indians on the reservations. The Census was also used to determine seats in the House of Representatives and the electoral college. The Census counted every resident except foreign nationals visiting or temporarily working in the United States. The fact that they did not count foreign nationals temporarily working in the United States indicated they were only counting legal residents, and not counting those who were not legally residents. Since illegal immigrants are not American citizens, they are still citizens of their home country. The 14th Amendment conferred citizenship on all residents born in the United States or naturalized. Liberals claim that nothing in the Constitution precludes counting non-citizens in the Census, however since illegal immigrants are not born here or naturalized, they are not covered by the 14th Amendment and are not counted as citizens until they become naturized citizens.
