Politics-AB-AV

26 Apr

It is interesting to hear those who are screaming because President Trump is sending illegal immigrants involved in criminal activities home and sending students involved in violent anti-American riots home portraying them as innocent freedom seekers. They have been very soft on crime. When President Obama and President Biden were in office, they pushed for reducing police forces making it more difficult to stop criminals and outlawed guns in areas they control to disarm innocent citizens and give criminals free reign since criminals don’t obey gun laws. They reduced penalties for crimes and often don’t prosecute criminals, resulting in increased shoplifting, theft, and murders in areas they control. They encouraged the rioters in major cities attacking the police, burning businesses, and killing people and the people vandalizing and burning churches and crisis pregnancy centers and did nothing to bring them to justice. On the other hand, they arrested and prosecuted innocent people whose only crime was praying in front of an abortion clinic. No property was damaged and no one was killed or injured yet they sentenced them to 11 years in prison and treated them shamefully in prison. It seems they only want mercy for the criminals and those who support their policies and they use the courts to threaten and intimidate innocent people who oppose their policies.

Making America Great Again-E

27 Feb

My wife and I saw this first hand when I broke my hip. We sent the bills to the insurance company for the company I worked for and they returned them saying the company forgot to add me to their medical insurance plan so they paid nothing. We had $10,000 in medical bills. We made agreements with everyone to pay them off in installments. After two years, we had paid off everyone except the surgeon and the hospital. Suddenly, we got a notice that the surgeon’s bill had been taken over by a collection agency and was due in full within two days or it would be sent to court. We consulted a lawyer who told us that we didn’t need a lawyer, all we had to do was show the court we had paid as agreed and the court would throw out the case. However, it never went to court, the judge just signed off on a court order requiring us to pay the money, plus court costs. A court worker later told us the collection agency never came to court, the judge just signs off on the cases and they collect the money plus court costs. We consulted a lawyer who said they couldn’t do that legally and we could appeal it but it wouldn’t help because we would still owe the money plus we would have to pay even more court costs. We signed an agreement with the court to pay it off but after my wife and I deposited our paychecks in the bank, and we wrote checks to cover our bills, the checks started bouncing. The court had seized our paychecks as soon as they hit the bank without notifying us. We consulted another lawyer who told us he could not help us. He could tell us what the court could do legally but the court saw no reason to obey the law so any advice he gave us would not do us any good. Formerly a judge would be disbarred and sent to prison for such actions, but now it is accepted as normal. However, one day those judges will stand before God who will hold them accountable.

 

 

Making America Great Again-D

Liberals have also attacked the rule of Law. It is an old saying that he who makes the law can change the law. With man, if someone makes the law, they can change it when they want. They can ignore it when it effects their friends and use it to harass or punish those they don’t like. We are seeing this openly today where judges ignore the law and rule however they want. If you don’t want a baby, you just declare it’s not a person and is not protected by the law. Then you can kill it and not worry about being prosecuted. However, when God makes the law, no man can change it. David thought he could do what he wanted but Samuel confronted him and reminded him that he was not above the law. The law applies to the king as well as the pauper. A French visitor to the United States once remarked how strange it was to see a car sitting at a stop light waiting for it to change when there were no police or other cars around. Americans respected the law. Now they take their cue from the politicians who ignore the law whenever it suits their purpose. We see it on the highway where people ignore speed limit signs and even stop signs.

 

 

Courts-B-AC

The Constitution contains numerous guarantees of the rights of citizens, but it is only as good as the courts that interpret it. President Trump pledged to appoint nominees to the Courts who would uphold the Constitution and nominated judges to fill many of the lower federal court vacancies. While the Supreme Court gets the major attention, the lower courts hold a far more important position today since many cases never make it to the Supreme Court. If lower court judges respected the Supreme Court, once the Supreme Court upheld your rights, you would be safe because the lower courts would uphold that decision in any cases before them. However, since judges are appointed for life, many of these positions are held by liberal judges appointed by former President Obama who had eight years to fill vacancies that occurred. Since liberal judges do not respect the Constitution or the Supreme Court, many continue to openly violate decisions of the Supreme Court. Rights guaranteed by the Constitution and upheld by the Supreme Court are not being respected by the lower federal courts placing American citizens in general and those who hold conservative values in particular at risk. The decisions of the lower court stand until they are overturned by the Supreme Court but many cases do not make it to the Supreme Court or take a long time to get there. When an investigator uncovered evidence that Planned Parenthood was selling body parts of aborted fetuses in violation of federal law, the attorney general of his State prosecuted him for violating the privacy of Planned Parenthood, but has never moved against Planned Parenthood for violating the law. The State courts convicted the investigator but the Supreme Court overturned the conviction. The courts then tried him again in violation of the Supreme Court ruling and convicted him, but it was again overturned by the Supreme Court. The courts have now convicted him again in violation of the Supreme Court ruling. Many of our courts are being used to prosecute the innocent while failing to prosecute the guilty. It is time we returned a President to office that will appoint judges that uphold the Constitution and federal law, and elect representatives that will approve the appointments because it does no good to appoint them if they are not approved by Congress. We cannot do anything about current judges since they are appointed for life, but we can guarantee new judges appointed will uphold the Constitution and federal law by who we elect to office.

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

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.

 
 

Politics-Deep State-A-L

A-D (6/6/2024) We are entering another Presidential election year. The President not only guides the country, he also appoints federal judges and Supreme Court Justices, as well as the head of federal agencies that carry out the policies of the administration. The judges are appointed for life and they can’t be removed, except for gross misconduct, so it is important that you elect a President who respects the Constitution because he appoints the Judges  you will have to live with until they die or retire. President Obama appointed a large number of judges who had no respect for the rule of law. They openly ignored the Constitution and many federal judges have ignored the Supreme Court rulings when they didn’t agree with them. As a result, we have seen the extension of abortion and Gay privileges and the deterioration of the rule of law. It has resulted in increasing persecution of Christians and other law abiding citizens. President Trump filled many vacancies with judges who would uphold the Constitution and the rule of law, however many judges appointed by President Obama remained and continued to subvert the law. President Biden has filled many federal judge positions with liberal judges and has undone a lot of what President Trump accomplished in restoring judges that respect the law. The person elected President this year will have many more positions to fill and will tip the country more towards respect for the law or away from it. It is also important to elected Senators who will approve the President’s nominations. If the Senate doesn’t confirm them, the positions will remain empty or the President will be forced to appoint judges that the Senate will approve.  It will also be important to elect both Senators and House Representatives who respect the will of the people because they will need to pass the laws needed to restore justice and to investigate wrongdoing by both President Biden and the federal justice system which liberals have been using to harass President Trump and conservative churches and agencies and to protect Hillary Clinton and President Biden from prosecution for their crimes.

I believe God raised up President Trump for this time which God knew was coming. President Trump respected the rule of law and sought to balance the budget. He did not take any salary but donated it to various agencies to help balance the budget. President Obama had no respect for the rule of law and used the mass shootings to push gun control in spite of opposition from the majority of Americans, yet the mass shootings continued. When President Trump was in office, he did a great deal to restore the rights of law abiding citizens to carry guns and you didn’t see the mass shootings like before because potential shooters knew they might face armed citizens who might spoil their plans and President Trump was not constantly calling people to attack those they disagreed with like President Obama and President Biden have. President Obama also used the “so-called” health care crisis to seize power by using Obamacare to require paying for abortion and contraceptives in spite of the fact that the law prohibited it and the majority of Americans opposed it. The House tried to add requiring paying for abortions to the Corona virus emergency act in spite of the fact it had nothing to do with containing the virus. Fortunately, conservative lawmakers were able to remove it.  President Trump also repealed President Obama’s mandate to pay for contraceptives but liberal State courts have still mandated it for their States. He could have done far more but was hindered by liberal politicians, liberal courts, and liberal agency personnel left by President Obama.  People reflect the government. If the government doesn’t respect the law, people lose their respect for the law and it is very difficult to restore that respect. You have only to go out on the highway to see how little respect people have for the law.

Since the American people are opposed to the liberal agenda liberals are working through judges and unelected bureaucrats to subvert the will of the people. They know that Federal judges and unelected officials are hard to get at because voters never have a chance to vote them out since they didn’t vote them in. Most voters do not realize the power of the politicians they elect. While the President and State governors aren’t allowed to enact laws, they appoint the heads of the various government agencies under them. A candidate for governor may not talk about abortion in his campaign but when it comes to appointing officers to agencies like the Board of Health, a pro-abortion governor will usually appoint a Director who is pro-abortion and abortion often quickly rises to a top priority for the Board of Health and the only way to remove him is to defeat the governor in the next election and elect a governor who will appoint someone who is pro-life. While agencies are only supposed to carry out laws passed by Congress, liberal directors are taking it upon themselves to ignore the laws and push their agenda. In addition, liberal Presidents like President Obama and President Biden have taken it upon themselves to issue executive orders to force the government agencies to violate the law. For instance, President Biden ordered the border patrol to not hinder immigrants entering illegally and ordered the Veteran’s Dept to perform abortions in States where it is illegal. Candidates for President are even more important since they appoint the Supreme Court justices who then serve for life. They aren’t appointed by each new President so once they are appointed, they are there until they die or retire. The President also appoints federal judges to fill vacancies so it is important to know where the Presidential candidate stands. President Trump filled many vacancies with conservative judges who respected the law but there were many who remained from before he became President who were hampering his work in restoring rights to the people. The Constitution was written to protect the rights of the people but politicians like President Obama openly ignore and violate the Constitution.
