Kamala Harris claims that she will institute price ceilings to stop the price gouging of big corporations. She refuses to admit that the price raises are the result of out of control government spending which has fueled inflation and increased regulations and taxes on corporations  which have driven up production costs forcing companies to recoup the increased costs from the consumer. Price ceilings have never worked. They limit how much a company can charge for its product but do not limit the costs of producing the product. When companies can no longer charge enough to pay for producing goods, they stop producing them. The result is that the product is no longer available and the workers who produced them are laid off. It sounds good to stick it to corporations but people forget that corporations have to make enough to pay their expenses in order to stay in business. When they can no longer meet expenses, they go out of business. President Trump recognized that. He cut government spending and the rate of inflation dropped. He also cut taxes and regulations and businesses expanded, the economy flourished, and unemployment dropped.  President Obama and President Biden expanded government spending and increased taxes and business regulations. As a result, inflation increased and businesses cut back production and laid off workers. President Biden even went beyond President Obama in wasteful government spending and in expanding welfare benefits which led many people to go on government benefits rather than go to work. The result is less job openings, but far fewer people looking for work so there are a lot of jobs available but people don’t want to work because they can make more in government benefits.

The Courts-B-AB

14 Aug

We are seeing an increasing number of courts that ignore the law and push their agenda. The Colorado courts are continuing to prosecute a man for refusing to bake a transgender transition cake even after the Supreme Court has twice overturned previous convictions. Now the man is facing prosecution in another attempt to force him to create cake depicting Satan. This has gone on for over a decade. In addition, we are seeing the courts continue to prosecute the man who revealed that Planned Parenthood was illegally selling body parts from aborted babies. Yet, no attempt has been made to prosecute Planned Parenthood for violating the law by selling the body parts. We are seeing similar cases in Texas where they are prosecuting a nurse in for revealing that the hospital billed Medicaid for child transgender hormones and a doctor was  previously prosecuted for revealing the program and was sentenced to prison for sharing patients records even though they were redacted to preserve patient privacy. Liberal judges seem to feel that it is a crime to reveal their crimes but that they are exempt from prosecution for their own crimes. Its time we got judges that prosecute criminals and not those who expose the criminals.

Recent decisions by the Supreme Court show the shift taking place between ruling on the case based on the Constitution which has been its tradition to ruling based on furthering their agenda. The Supreme Court did rule that religious organizations are exempt and are still free to decide for themselves whether to conduct same-sex marriages or not but government employees must do so. So once you are hired by the government, you no longer are allowed to object to things that violate your conscience. I am certain that now that a precedence has been set allowing the Supreme Court to set aside the Constitution when it gets in the way of their agenda, we will see attempts to get the Supreme Court to repeal that exemption, just as we have seen attempts by President Biden to take away the rights of people of faith to refuse to conduct abortions and to refuse to support Gay marriages. The liberal press has severely criticized the conservative judges for detailing what they believe is the end of democracy. The conservative justices know that when a majority of Supreme court judges can ignore the Constitution and ignore the will of the people, imposing their will on the country, there is nothing left between us and a socialist dictatorship. Supreme Court justices are appointed, not elected, and serve for life. They can only be removed by impeachment to isolate them from political pressure but it can’t protect us from Supreme Court justices who put their own agenda before the will of the people. We are seeing similar trends in lower courts who choose to ignore Supreme Court rulings which they do not agree with. Courts are to uphold the law, not ignore them when they don’t like them. It is important for voters to carefully consider the judges they elect, whether they will continue to uphold the law or violate it and impose their own agenda. It is also important to consider the candidates for US President who appoint federal judges, whether they will appoint judges  who support the rule of law or who will impose their own agenda over the rule of law. A good indication is whether they themselves obey the law or ignore it. You cannot rely on what they say but must research what they have done in the past.

It is strange that all through the past four years  Vice –president Harris has been dropping in the polls. Her ratings were even worse than President Biden’s. Now all of a sudden she is being promoted as the presidential  candidate and they say she has great ratings. Why the switch. She still has the terrible record of failing to carry out her duties of monitoring the southern border and for her promotion of abortion up to birth, as well as other liberal programs. Is it because she is a woman and the women feel she will promote the cause of women? They elected Obama president because he was Black and it set the status of Blacks back some 40 years. President Obama caused more division between Blacks and Whites through promoting Black Lives Matters and the attacks against police. In addition, he caused more fear among Whites of Hispanics and Muslims with his open border policy which allowed large numbers of Hispanics and Muslims to enter and we have no idea who they are. Many could be criminals and terrorists and we wouldn’t know it, unless  they come through proper channels and are screened. Vice-President Harris may be a woman but she promotes transgenders in women’s bathrooms and in women’s sports which will definitely hurt women. Margaret Thatcher in Britain showed that there are capable women who can effectively lead a country but Vice-President Harris is not one of them. Like Obama, she will cause more harm than good.

It is hard to understand why Democrat voters are not outraged at the way the Democratic leadership has run their primaries this year. All opponents were shut out of the Democratic primaries in a lot of the States so only Joe Biden’s name was on the ticket. As a result, voters did not get to express a preference for anyone else, in spite of the fact that numerous top Democrats said he was unfit to run. It seemed there was doubt in the beginning whether he should run, yet voters were not allowed to express their views.  Now suddenly, at the last moment, Biden removed himself from the running and Biden’s replacement is being picked by party leaders with no input from voters. Was that the plan all along? It seems that the Democratic Party is not being very democratic. It remains to be seen if Democrat voters will rebel against their leadership in November.

We are seeing a record number of arrests at the border. That means that border patrol are more burdened then ever in catching them, screening them, housing them, and processing them. It means they have less time to pursue drug dealers, human traffickers, criminals, and terrorists. As a result, it means an increased danger as more people enter the country illegally and Democrats are frustrating attempts to build the wall to keep them out and fighting attempts to export them. As a result, there are more of them roaming the country. The border states have born the brunt of the increasing inflow, though the country as a whole is suffering as the migrants fan out across the country. In fact, Democrats have introduced the “Climate Displaced Person Act” that would open our borders to people who are displaced by climate change. Since Democrats claim every disaster is the result of climate change that will open the doors to just about anybody effected by a disaster. You name it, fires, floods, droughts. snowstorms, hurricanes, if they are all caused by climate change, anyone effected could move to the U.S. Since records are often destroyed in disasters, and the sheer numbers involved would make proving former residence difficult, people could claim they were residents when they were not. It is apparent that Democrats have no concern for what the flood of refugees, many penniless and unable to support themselves, would do to our economy. The same money could benefit more by helping them rebuild and modernize their country. Now Texas is fighting back. They have started busing illegal immigrants to liberal strongholds. Suddenly the liberals are starting to see the problem as it lands on their doorstep. Hopefully it will spur them to act. It is easy to ignore a problem when someone else has to deal with it but harder to ignore when you have to deal with the problem yourself.

Immigration has risen to the front but there is very little factual information being supplied by the media. We need immigration to supply workers for jobs Americans don’t want but blanket amnesty is not the way to go. Crossing the border without getting caught should not be the only criteria for citizenship. To grant them citizenship without going through the normal channels says that it is alright to commit a crime (cross the border illegally) as long as you do it in sufficient numbers. They should go through legal channels and apply for citizenship like anyone else. It is just one more instance where liberal politicians are saying that laws don’t matter as long as they serve their own self-interest. President Obama sought to weaken our border defenses and open our borders to encourage people from Mexico to flock to the US and promised to give them amnesty so they would vote for him, with no thought in regard to protecting Americans. By leaving the borders open it allows Hispanics to cross the border without registering. As Democrats move to ease election laws allowing for increased voter fraud, it will be easier to register illegal immigrants and have them vote illegally. In fact, studies of jury selection records in Virginia have shown that thousands of people who were registered to vote were rejected for jury duty because they were not U.S. citizens. Studies of those rejected show that many of them voted. In California, millions of illegal immigrants were found to be registered to vote and many voted. That is only two States. When you consider how many may have voted illegally in all 50 States, you are looking at a large number of illegal votes, possibly enough to throw a close election.

President Obama gave promises of citizenship and other benefits which lured a lot of people to come to the United States in the hope of cashing in on the promises. When President Trump signaled that he was going to close the border, the number coming dropped off, even before he started work on the wall, because they realized it would be more difficult to get in. but picked up again as soon as President Biden took office and ordered construction stopped.  Since President Biden took office, he has increased promises of benefits, so the number flowing across the border illegally has reached record numbers. In addition, drug dealers, gun runners, and those dealing in human trafficking have taken advantage of it by encouraging people to flood the border in order to overtax the border patrol and provide cover for them. As a result, the border has been overrun by people trying to get in. As a result, the courts are so overwhelmed, they release many into the United States, rather than deport them, on the promise to appear on their court date, but many just disappear and never show up for their court date. In addition, the White house ordered many asylum cases removed from the records, so they no longer have to check with authorities, effectively granting them amnesty, if they did not have a criminal record or appear to pose a threat to the security of the United States. In 2022, 100,000 people were removed from the legal system, compared to 36,000  who were deported, and 31,000 granted asylum. In 2023, 150,000 have been removed from the books , 56,000 have been deported, and  43,000 granted asylum. While that includes only those who were caught, a lot of them were able to get in without being caught. As long as liberal politicians continue to promise open borders and numerous benefits, they will continue to come.

Hillary Clinton used her own private server as Secretary of State to avoid scrutiny, a clear violation of law. When exposed, she destroyed the computer, phones, and laptops to prevent them being used as evidence against her, but she has never been held accountable. The FBI began investigating Donald Trump knowing that the evidence they used to get permission to investigate him was fake, and it was leaked to the press to discredit Trump so  Hillary could win. Fortunately it failed and Donald Trump won. When it came out that the Clinton Foundation produced the fake evidence, they were not investigated, and the Democrat controlled House continued to investigate Trump to discredit him and prevent him from getting a second term.  They then impeached him in spite of evidence that he was innocent. On Jan 6, 2020, Trump ordered his followers to go home and urged Congress to call out the National Guard to help the capital police but Nancy Pelosi refused their help.  Yet they impeached Trump again for encouraging his followers to riot when clear video evidence proved otherwise. When a laptop was found with incriminating evidence against Hunter Biden, the FBI claimed it was fake news and a number of FBI staff attested to the lie. When it became clear that the story was true, no attempt was made to prosecute Hunter Biden. The FBI raided Trump’s Florida residence and seized sensitive government documents even though as President he was legally allowed to possess them and they were in a secure place. The Justice Dept then proceeded to publicly trumpet his supposed guilt. When it was found that President Biden had such documents from when he was a Senator and when he was Vice-president, which was illegal for him to possess and they were laying around his garage where anyone could access them, they felt it was not worth prosecuting him. I think we are seeing a clear pattern here where politicians and unelected government agencies are acting to interfere with the election process through a media campaign to discredit their opponents and protect their friends and that is eroding public confidence in our government. Those responsible need to be prosecuted but it is apparent that they won’t be by the current administration.
