Violence-social strife 2-AD

13 Jun

The media is in a frenzy about how President Trump is overstepping his authority and interfering with California’s sovereignty  and the San Francisco mayor and California governor are screaming about it. However, we need to look at the facts. The governor and mayor were refusing to turn over illegal migrants to immigration authorities in violation of the law. Immigration authorities proceeded to arrest the migrants in accord with the law. The governor and mayor sought to prevent them in violation of the law. Protestors showed up to demonstrate against the arrests. Their “peaceful” protests involved burning cars, looting neighborhood stores, and assaulting immigration officers, however neither the mayor or governor attempted to interfere with the rioters.  President Trump sent the national guard to protect the immigration authorities. That is under his authority because the rioters are preventing federal agents from doing their job, it’s called, obstruction of justice. Neither the mayor or the governor were protecting their citizens so  President Trump had to step in to protect American citizens. The riots were too well organized and the rioters too well equipped to be spontaneous. We now know that the rioters were funded by  organizations supported by the Democratic party which explains why the governor and mayor did not interfere. Over half of the rioters were from out of State which means they crossed State lines to commit a crime making it a federal offense. President Trump was well within his rights and was fulfilling his responsibilities. Contrast that to a few years ago when President Biden sent federal agents to intervene in State affairs. President Biden was not protecting the border which was a violation of his oath of office to defend the country against invasion. He was also violating federal law by not building the border wall as required by an act of Congress. Texas and Arizona were forced to build barriers to protect their citizens which is their responsibility in light of the fact the federal government failed to do so. President Biden then sent in immigration agents to tear down the walls. While President Trump had the authority to protect the American people, President Biden did not have the authority to use federal agents to prevent the governors from protecting their citizens. The media said nothing about President Biden’s abuse of power but have been relentless in misrepresenting President Trump’s legitimate exercise of his authority.

Senior Citizen Issues-L

04 Jun

 L-Liberals continue to yell about how Social Security is running out of money and they will need to cut benefits or raise Social Security taxes that workers pay. There would have been plenty of money for the future if liberals had not raided the Social Security fund to fund their social welfare programs. Seniors should demand that there be no more cuts in benefits or raises in Social Security taxes until every cent taken out is returned to Social Security along with the interest it would have earned. They are not cutting benefits to those on welfare and are in fact expanding them, even though those on welfare did not pay into the system. The Democrat’s main interest is in increasing those who are dependent on the government though receiving welfare payments and through expanding the number of those employed by the government. They claim that Republicans are going to cut welfare, cut Social Security, and reduce the number working for the government, to get the recipients to vote for Democrats. They showed  where their priorities lay when they passed the Fairness Act that benefited government workers by allowing them to double dip and receive both Social Security and government pensions while further depleting the Social Security fund. Doing so will result in reducing time before Social Security payments will have to be cut due to the shortfall that will be created when Social Security payments exceed the amount taken in in Social Security taxes. Seniors worked their whole life to put that money aside and if there are any cuts, the cuts should be to those who haven’t paid into the system before they cut benefits to those who have paid in. While Republicans will cut benefits, it will be to those that are not eligible, not to those actually in need. Though Republicans will cut some off Social Security, it will be those in the country illegally who did not pay into the system. Though Republicans will cut government workers, they will cut those who are not really needed. Our bloated government bureaucracy wastes millions of dollars a year which needs to be stopped.

The Democratic party has always been autocratic. While they call themselves Democrats, they do not support the vote by the general population. It was founded by the Aristocrats in the South to protect slavery. They felt they knew better than the slaves and poor Whites what was best for them. The party was formed with a strong central leadership that has frequently overruled the will of their members. It has continued to be run by the leadership but has become more dictatorial in recent years. The Democratic Party now has a large number of delegates at large which includes former Presidents, major donors, and other important people. In the national convention, after the vote by the delegates elected by the States, the delegates at large add their votes. There are enough of them to alter a close vote. Both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden were eventually nominated to be the Democrat candidate, yet both complained that they had been passed over in the nomination for president in previous elections, even though they won the Democratic primaries. It was evident in the vote for Obamacare. Several pro-life Democrats in Congress refused to vote for the abortion amendment. They were called to the White and later voted for the amendment. Apparently President Obama threatened to withhold support from the Democrat party and Planned Parenthood which would have crippled their reelection campaigns. The Republican Party was formed to oppose slavery and has usually been responsive to the will of their members. They have very few members at large and they generally support the candidate elected in the primaries. While they encourage their members to vote for certain legislation, they don’t blackmail them to get them to comply.

It is only now that we are learning the full intentions of the Democratic leadership in its constant attack on Donald Trump. Not only did they want to discredit him so they could get control of the office of President so they could carry out their liberal agenda. They knew the American people would not support their agenda and vote them on its merits. They also wanted to get the American public so used to the baseless accusations that when their own crimes came out, people would simply dismiss them as baseless accusations and not take them seriously. Hillary Clinton knew that if Donald Trump became President that he would begin investigating her use of her own computer to shield her from discovery of her dealings with Russia and the Arabs to undermine the security of the United States. By keeping the government tied up in investigating Trump, they would not have time to look into what she had been doing. By selling our uranium to Russia and sacrificing the diplomatic staff at Benghazi to avoid exposure of her dealings with the terrorists, she was aiding and assisting those seeking to overthrow the United States. She provided the information to the FBI that they used to discredit Donald Trump by leaking it to the media and the Democratic leadership used to impeach Trump, both of them knowing the information was fake. In addition, the FBI tried to cover up the discovery of Hunter Biden’s laptop knowing it contained a lot of incriminating evidence against him. Such actions indicates corruption at the highest levels of government and poses a clear threat to a democracy.

It is shocking the more we hear about how incapacitated Joe Biden was and how his aides and leaders of the Democratic party hid the fact so they could use him to further their own interests. In effect, we went four years without a President because he was incapable of making rational decisions. His aides literally ran his office. We are fortunate that our enemies did not take advantage of it to attack to United States or its offices abroad. We would not have been able to launch any kind of defense with no one in the White House capable of making rational decisions. Our economy fell apart, our border security fell apart, and the deep state took advantage of the occasion to further their own interests. In addition, President Biden’s son and family took advantage of his term as Vice-President and as President to enrich themselves using his influence. Yet people wonder why President Trump has had to be so heavy handed in cleaning out the corruption in our government.

Many people see the price increases resulting from the new tariffs, and don’t bother to understand the reasons behind them.  The United States prospered after World War II because the manufacturing plants in Europe were destroyed and the United States was supplying the manufacturing products to the world with no competition. In addition, many of the homes and businesses were destroyed so they needed a lot to rebuild. Our manufacturing was not destroyed in the  war and had greatly expanded to produce a lot of the war materials for the Allies. They were quickly converted to peacetime production. Without competition, unions forced pay increases which greatly increased the cost of goods and companies did not bother to modernize equipment to cut production costs. With the newfound prosperity, Americans could afford to pay the higher prices. When Europe began to rebuild its manufacturing, they built the most modern facilities.  Their  wages were far lower and with new cost saving equipment, they were able to sell far below our cost. In addition, Europe imposed tariffs on goods from the United States to protect their manufacturers from American competition, but the United States did not impose tariffs in return. As a result, we lost the overseas sales and our retailers began importing goods from overseas because they were cheaper than American made goods. It destroyed our manufacturing and forced many manufacturers to move their plants overseas where they could produce goods cheaper.  It not only cost us jobs, it also reduced the money received from taxes on the goods produced. In addition, it made us dependent on foreign manufacturers which was evident after 9-11 and after Covid when our borders were sealed cutting off goods from other countries, because our manufacturers were not ready to produce what we needed. By President Trump imposing tariffs on other countries, he increased the cost of goods from overseas so our manufactures could compete.  It also forced other countries to reduce their tariffs on our goods. More important, it encouraged manufacturers to move their plants back to the U.S bringing the jobs and the money from taxes with them. It will raise prices some because we will no longer have low cost foreign goods available but that should have been done a long time ago before we became addicted to low cost foreign goods. It boils down to which you want more, a job, or low cost foreign goods you can’t afford.

Critics accuse President Trump of causing price increases by instituting tariffs. They forget  some critical things. President Biden raided the treasury in the last three months of his term to give out trillions of dollars, which were not in the budget. A lot of those funds were untraceable. The huge government spending further fueled the inflation beyond that from his previous spending.  In addition, it added a tremendous amount to the national debt. It was designed to break the bank and force the country into a depression which they would blame on President Trump. He also added a large number of new workers which vastly increased the cost of government. Many of those workers were assigned to  spy on and harass those who opposed their socialist policies. We have no record of any previous President going so far to ensure that his successor failed.  To avoid a financial meltdown, President Trump had no choice but to make drastic cuts in spending to offset the trillions of dollars that President Biden spent. In addition, he had to lay off many of the workers that President Biden hired since they served the Democrat party and not the country.

Environment-P

I continue to see articles that hammer on the old lie that the United States is the greatest contributor to pollution, just as they pushed the threat of mass starvation from over-population to push through abortion. That was a lie because the world’s population was on the verge of going into negative growth as we weren’t having sufficient births to sustain our population and we were facing the threat of eventual extinction rather than overpopulation. We were making such great advances in food production that the government had to force farmers to take land out of food production to reduce food surpluses. Many of those policies remain today and farmers are paid to set aside a lot of farmland and not plant it. As a result, the U.S. has to import a lot of its food in spite of the fact that we produce more food per acre than any other country. The United States contributes only 1% of the world’s pollution. China and India alone make up over 50% of the pollution, yet the climate accord put all the burden on the United States calling for massive reduction in pollution which would have been impossible to achieve and while it would have destroyed the U.S. economy it would have done very little to improve the overall air quality if we did achieve it. On the other hand, it put no requirement on India and China to reduce their pollution. It is obvious that the goal wasn’t to improve air quality but to destroy the American economy by shutting down our manufacturing and transportation industries. Dictators say that free enterprise is evil and destructive to prevent their people from rebelling and overthrowing their government, due to the failure of their government’s economic policies. If America prospers, it exposes their lies so they have to destroy the American economy to prove their point.
