Making America Great Again-A

14 Feb

President Trump’s slogan of making America great again appeals to a lot of older people who remember America’s golden age in the 1960s and 1970s when the economy was booming, jobs were plentiful, and our streets were safe. While the threat of nuclear war cast a shadow on the prosperity, times were generally good. Russia knew they could not conquer us with their military because America had a great military. They also knew they couldn’t seize control of the government because Americans would resist and Americans were well armed due to the Second Amendment allowing citizens to own guns. However they had one thing America did not have, and that was patience. They knew that if you chip away at a foundation long enough, eventually the house will fall. It might take  three or four generations, but they were willing to wait.  Like Satan in the  Garden of Eden, socialism appeals to man’s greed. Europe fell fairly quickly because Christianity there was mostly an empty shell. Europeans had long ago given up belief in God even though they retained the outward appearance. America still retained a strong church that taught Christian values and those values were widely accepted beyond the church. The Socialists knew that strong Christians would not support their humanist values. Respect for life, the rule of law, and the value of the individual and personal property are deadly to those who seek to take over the world. Total control requires elimination of your opponents, twisting the law to your advantage, and seizing personal property. In addition, it requires submission of the individual to their control. Dictators require total obedience and those who put obedience to God first will not obey those who want to be the first and the only authority, when that authority requires them to disobey God. They knew that to overthrow America they would have to break down its allegiance to God, which was the foundation of our success.

The various government departments were established to provide a means to carry out the laws passed of Congress. The President is charged with overseeing them with the help of the Senate. Over time, Congress got lazy and began passing vague laws and allowed the departments to flesh out the policies and carry them out. As a result, the various departments have become a law unto themselves and have run rough over the American people, openly abusing their powers. Often departments and agencies have seized property and punished those who resisted with no oversight and leaving innocent citizens with no legal recourse. President Biden used the various agencies and department to get around laws and opposition through executive orders directing them to openly violate federal and State laws. He distributed billions of dollars to Planned Parenthood for abortions here and overseas and used agency power to force foreign nations to accept abortions, in spite of federal laws which prohibit federal funds going to support abortions here or overseas. He directed the veterans hospitals to perform abortions in States that prohibited it and directed the Post Office to facilitate the delivery of abortion drugs to States that had outlawed abortion. Such an abuse of power and violation of federal laws would have gotten any former President impeached but Democrats prevented an investigation. Many people think President Trump is being too heavy-handed but he only has four years to clean out a deeply entrenched bureaucracy.

Government agencies have no real incentive to cut costs. The government has free reign to tax and can demand more taxes when they want to spend more. A practice that President Biden has made full use of. The government has no competition to force them to cut costs and often pads its organization with useless administration positions. The department heads who have been appointed as rewards for supporting the party owe their allegiance to the party. Since their experience is mainly in politics, they have little experience in running things efficiently. It is time we turned  the government over to those who have know how to run organizations efficiently. President Trump is the first President in recent times that has a business background and was not a career politician. He entered his first term with a good understanding of business, but with very little understanding of politics and he was hampered by not having a majority in both houses which made it difficult for him to accomplish much. However, he learned a lot the first time and has been working hard since then so he has come to his second term well prepared for dealing with Congress and the Deep State. He has sought to fill key offices in the departments with people who are well experienced in running large corporations and know how to cut red tape and streamline organizations, rather than political appointees with very little experience.Businesses have to cut waste as much as possible to keep costs down so they do not price their products out of the market.

It seems that FEMA suddenly had lots of money because they rushed aid to California while the wildfires were still burning out of control. It is a serious abuse of power to use government funds to help California when they still had not sent aid to those in N. Carolina who was still struggling to recover after  the Hurricanes that hit it, just because California voted for Democrats while N. Carolina did not. Government help should not be given out on the basis of political affiliation since tax dollars come from taxpayers without regard to political affiliation. The President is supposed to look out for the welfare of the whole country, not just those who voted for him and he has no right to use taxpayer funds to reward his friends and ignore his political opponents. Numerous FEMA workers surveying the damage reported being told to bypass houses that had signs supporting Trump. It is high time for a thorough investigation of the way FEMA has been doing business to see  if this has been a long-standing practice or recent development and the people responsible should be held accountable.

It is interesting to see the liberal media attack anyone who gets in the way of what they want. Liberals are crying how President Trump is violating the Constitution and trashing the 14th Amendment. At issue is birthright citizenship. President Trump is seeking to enforce the 14th Amendment as it is written. It states “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Liberals have been granting citizenship to babies of illegal immigrants and babies of women who crossed the border so their babies could be citizens of the United States. However, those babies don’t qualify because neither parent is “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” Since neither parent has established any legal status the babies don’t qualify. It will not effect those who have at least one parent who is here legally, only those who have come illegally. Since a great many babies have been illegally granted citizenship, it is going to create a real mess. We cannot simply pick and choose what part of a law we want to enforce.  The Amendment places two qualifications on citizenship and one alone is not sufficient. Liberals claim that President Trump is depriving these kids of their rights which sounds terrible but since the law never granted them that right, he is not depriving them of anything. He is merely restoring the rule of law and enforcing it as it was written.

Economics-EF

27 Jan

Democrats accuse the Republicans of refusing to negotiate on the debt limit, but they are refusing to do so as well. They have repeatedly pushed the budget to the deadline and then demanded Republicans give in and raise the debt limit. When Republicans refuse, they accuse Republicans of threatening the stability of the economy by refusing to raise the debt limit and allow Democrats to go on spending.  Now that Democrats no longer have the majority and the ability to raise the debt limit, they have decided to take a lesson from President Biden and simply designate the expenditures as outside the budget. By removing it from the budget, they can continue their wasteful spending without exceeding the spending limit. However, no matter how you look at it, the money comes out of the treasury and is paid for by working Americans. Politicians need to realize that the government doesn’t have an unlimited amount o f money. There comes a point where the American people cannot or will not support the out of control spending in Washington. The American people have to live within their income and the government should do so as well.

The drama with Guatemala shows the difference between a politician and a businessman. President Trump sent illegal immigrants back to Guatemala and Guatemala refused to accept them. President Trump then informed them that he would impose a stiff tariff on Guatemalan goods. The President of Guatemala then announced they would accept the immigrants. Guatemala is much more dependent on their sales to us then we are to them. High tariffs could destroy the Guatemalan economy. President Trump knows that money talks and he knows how to put pressure where it is needed. In spite of all the damage done by liberal politicians, America is still a powerful country. A couple more years under liberal control and our country would have had an economic collapse due to the out of control spending. Liberal politicians have worked for fifty years to destroy our economy and the moral fabric of our country to allow them to usher in a one-world government. It will be very hard to rebuild our economy due to the massive wasteful spending by President Biden, and we cannot expect to reverse it in four years, but it will be a start. President Trump can at least set the right course. It will depend on the American people to select Congressmen who will support him and follow through with putting his policies in place. Voters must carefully weigh the background and voting record of  everyone they elect from the local mayor to the President of the United States.

President Biden issued numerous pardons before leaving office. In addition, he reduced the sentences of almost everyone on death row to life in prison. That included many convicted of murder and a number convicted of mass murders. That shows how little he values human life. The death penalty has always stood as the penalty for the worst crimes including premeditated murder, killing a police officer, and mass murders. It is felt that those committing such crimes pose a great threat to society. Apparently he feels mass murderers are doing us a favor by eliminating people they don’t like. He also set free 500 terrorists being held in Guantanamo Bay who returned home to rejoin their terrorist groups. That is in sharp contrast to his support of abortion which includes the killing of innocent babies. Apparently he feels we need to save the guilty and kill the innocent. He also issued a blanket pardon for his son and included all crimes he has committed over the last eleven years. I didn’t know you could issue pardons for crimes people have not been charged with. I thought you only pardoned those who have been wrongly convicted or who you feel were sentenced to unfair prison terms and have already served an adequate sentence. It is apparent that he has something  to hide and he does not want those crimes investigated. It also seems a breach of his authority to pardon his son, since he has a clear conflict of interest. In addition, he issued pardons for a number of his family members and relatives that have not yet been implemented in crimes which makes you wonder what they are guilty of that he doesn’t want investigated.

Democrats are already attacking President Trump’s cuts to the budget which are necessary because of President Biden’s reckless spending. They are claiming that cuts to the budget of the IRS will benefit the rich who will be able to get away with fraud because the IRS won’t have the personnel to audit them. That ignores the fact that President Biden added hundreds of IRS agents to audit and threaten churches and conservative non-profits with revoking their non-profit status if they did not comply with the liberal pro-abortion and pro-gay agenda. While churches are automatically considered non-profit, and not subject to audit, the IRS has added a lot of rules about how collections are handled and staff are paid to gain access to church records and intimidate them into being silent on social issues. They have even demanded copies of some pastor’s sermons to see if he is speaking out on social issues and inserted spies in churches to monitor the pastor’s sermons. While  President Biden claimed that if Trump was elected, he would become a dictator, President Biden has shown open contempt for the law and acted more like a dictator then a President.

President Trump will probably go after President Biden and his son for their illegal influence peddling and Democrats are already gearing up to discredit it as the Republicans trying to discredit Democrats like they did to Donald Trump, however where they prosecuted Donald Trump with fake charges most of which they ultimately dropped because they could find no evidence of a crime, the Justice Dept. has had adequate evidence of Joe and Hunter Biden’s wrongdoing since 2020 and has tried to bury it by censoring social and public media and distributing fake news. Federal agents openly lied to the public stating that the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop was fake news until whistleblowers produced the laptop and they could no longer deny it. Then they finally admitted it but would not let the media publish it. Unfortunately for them, they don’t control all the media yet. While they prosecuted Trump for possession of documents he was legally allowed to possess as President, they refused to prosecute Joe Biden for possession of documents he obtained when Senator and Vice-President which he was not allowed to possess legally. Hopefully they will also go after him for the billions of dollars that he funneled to voting blocks like college students to buy their votes, including two trillion dollars in the last three months of his term. Democrats will probably claim that he had immunity because of the Supreme Court ruling that a President cannot be prosecuted for acts he commits while carrying out his duties as President, however the Supreme Court ruled that he did not have the authority to cancel student loan debts or authorize the other expenditures, so it was not part of his duties as President and so should not be immune to prosecution.
