Politics-AB-AC

29 Aug

It is interesting to see that Joe Biden suddenly called for closing the borders after fighting it for four years when the election approached, and every poll said immigration would be a big issue. Yet, he continued to fight Texas who tried to secure their borders. Kamala Harris is now calling for closing the borders after being responsible for the border crisis for four years and not doing it. It is also strange that Democrats are silent about her new stand. They fought it for a long time too. At least some of them should be outraged that she would suddenly change her stance. I suspect that the silence is due to the fact the Harris has already assured them that it is just words to deceive unsuspecting voters and will not affect her attempts to keep the border open once she is elected.

 

 

 

Politics-AB-BB

There are calls for an Article V Convention– They want to amend the Constitution to limit federal power, balance the budget, secure the border, and impose term limits. Those are worthy goals but the Constitution already limits federal power and federal law already requires a balanced budget and secure borders. However, voters keep electing representatives that openly violate the Constitution and federal law. Term limits would help by ending career politicians who live off the federal payroll, however voters can easily impose term limits by refusing to re-elect someone who has served over two terms. Unless voters take responsibility for who they vote for, nothing will change. If voters continue to re-elect the present politicians who ignore the Constitution and federal laws, we will get to where they will so corrupt the voting process that the people cannot vote them out, if we haven’t reached that point yet. The law means nothing if the people allow politicians to ignore it.

It is interesting to watch liberals trip over their own words. The Democrats in their convention have been railing against Republicans who they say are depriving families of having kids by opposing artificial breeding of babies. Yet, they push the murder of over a million unborn babies a year. If they want every family that wants a baby to have one, all they have to do is cut back on aborting them. If abortion was abolished today, there would not be enough families to take all the children. Those who push abortion have created a monster by unleashing sexual freedom. Before, women were afraid to have sex outside marriage because they might get pregnant. Now, they say you can enjoy sex with anyone anytime and not have to worry about carrying a baby to term. If you don’t want the baby that results, you can abort it. Now we are reaping the fruit of that. Then they say if you do want a baby, we can manufacture one for you. It is strangely similar to Hitler’s plan for the master race. You abort all the babies that aren’t wanted because of their race or some disability, then you kill those who are born with disabilities, and finally, you selectively breed the strongest of the race to create a master race.

Democrats joined Republicans in criticizing Harris for not controlling the border and other tasks assigned to her as Vice-President. All of a sudden, when she became the nominee for President, she is portrayed as competent and confident. She didn’t change overnight, but Democrats realized if she was going to win the election, they would have to change her image.  Voters have to look at her record and realize she isn’t fit to be President. President Biden was not competent to be President and a lot of the work was probably carried out by Harris. President Biden referred to Harris several times as President Harris and to himself as Vice-President. She also referred to herself several times as President. Was it just a slip of the tongue or did they accidently forget and reveal who was really running the  country. She did a poor job then and won’t do any better once she is elected to the Oval Office. It is even worse the fact that she wasn’t selected by the Democrat voters but was appointed by the Democrat party leadership.

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.

 

 
 

The Courts-B-AA

14 Aug

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.

Immigration-VII-F

31 Jul

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.
