After writing a weekly conservative column for 12 years, one thing has become crystal clear.  Only older Americans are reading and responding to what we write.  When we say older Americans, we mean those over 70 years of age, with many of our responses coming from individuals well over 80.

The results of the 2016 presidential election tell the story from the exit polls.  18 to 29 year-olds went 55% for Clinton.  30 to 44 year-olds went 50% for Clinton.  45 to 65 year-olds went 53% for Trump and 65 year-olds and older also went 53% for Trump.  The male-female vote was essentially split.  54% of females voted for Clinton and 53% of males voted for Trump.

But in the 2016 Primaries, what is even more telling, millennials (18 to 29) voted for Bernie Sanders 25% greater than Trump and Clinton combined.  Bernie Sanders is so far left of the center of the Democrat Party that he is in fact a pure socialist.

So why are millennials going for socialism?  One only needs to look at our public schools and liberal colleges to figure that one out.  At least three generations of teachers, parents and young adults have been indoctrinated in collectivism, multi-culturalism, political correctness, socialism, radical environmentalism and the one-world-order mantra.  Academia has gone so far left that it does everything in its power to silence any other point of view, including using violence, harassment and intimidation.  Check out the riots on college campuses these days against conservative ideas.

Like all large countries, America has been moving virtually unstoppable towards socialism.  With few exceptions, every single nation on the planet is run by a socialist or communist government, or brutally governed by a dictator.  America was the last bastion of freedom ….. until now.

At last count, out of the 196 nations that belong to the United Nations, at least 49 countries are ruled by dictators.  Some of those dictators threaten the stability and security of the entire planet, such as North Korea and Iran.  Socialist-run countries include, but are not limited to, China, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Canada, (yes, Canada, or neighbor to the north) Sweden, Norway and Ireland.  Russia, Australia and England should be on this list as well.  (Notice the socialist European countries.  Europe is socialism personified.)

The United Nations is, without a doubt, a socialist organization.  All of its policies are based on a socialist platform.  When will America be added to the list of socialist countries, or are we already a member of the socialist club of nations?  We are so close that it is only a matter of inches, not miles.

With this massive planet-wide rush to socialism, who will speak for freedom in America?  Right now, only those who know what freedom was, speak for freedom.  With three generations of socialist brainwashing, the only generation left that may remember what freedom was, is the generation closest to the end of their lives.  Sadly, their energy, drive and ambitions are significantly diminished and they don’t have the stamina or the will to fight anymore.  But they do have a broad point of reference that gives them a better view than those that are younger.  When they die off, who then will speak for freedom?

Sure, there are several million younger folk between 45 and 70 that have their guns oiled and their survival gear at the ready.   But when push comes to shove, will they put their lives on the line when there is no other choice but violence to restore freedom?  They will be a small minority in a nation of tens of millions of big-city socialists.

Not all older Americans have retained the vision or memory of freedom’s past.  Millions of older Americans have been bought off with Social Security and Medicare, socialist government programs, but paid for with payroll taxes.  A large percentage of these government program beneficiaries are not apt to bite the hand that “feeds” them.  (See “With Everyone Bought Off Nothing Can Change.”)

So what is the older generation saying about freedom?  The following responses to our articles represent some of what conservative Americans think and feel about the future of freedom.  To our point, most of these responders are in their late 70’s or 80’s.

No. 1

“Arguably, and sadly, one of your best columns.  A liberal friend and I decades ago were discussing the future of the country and how long it could last.  He said he didn’t know how long, but that it wouldn’t be war that took us down, it would be the bureaucracy, which answers to no one and grows exponentially with time.  So true.  I’m damned near 80 and hear more and more people of my vintage say they are, one, glad they’re old and, two, they have little hope for their children and grandchildren.  Most of them don’t have a clue as to what is really going on, but they sense and know things are in really bad shape.  What’s to say?  We’re toast and you’ve got to be damned near eighty to see it?”

No. 2

“As usual a great article to the heart of the matter.  Everything you say is unfortunately true.  The divide and conquer approach has been promoted for years in this country unobstructed by the general public.  Alinsky and Marx are well and just chugging down the road.  This scenario is a no win game because the answer to the problem is the problem itself—the people, which make up the individual groups.  They will not change and you and I both know that to be the problem.  I have not seen, heard, nor do I know of anyone who has put forth a realistic detailed plan to deal with this issue.”

No. 3

“Again you have written a clear and concise view of where we are as a country.  As you stated, because of the enormity of the beast, along with conflicting and over burdensome laws, this beast will collapse and there will be a revolution.  My view is that the people have gone from self-reliance, discipline, thrift, hard work and a strong moral base to an entitlement mentality, moral debauchery and greed.  I know I am not telling you anything new.  So many people were fooled into thinking there was a “free lunch” and they took the easy way out.  I am remembering a Russian friend.  She helped the current Russian immigrants in her community — this was around the early 1990’s.  She told me that she always got flyers from the government telling her about all the free services that she could sign up for.  She thought that was wonderful that our country was so rich that they could reach out and be so helpful.  I told her that our country was bankrupt and the people were maxed out on their credit cards.  She just couldn’t believe it.”

No. 4

“Hi. I just want to let you know that while I do not generally respond to your articles, I read each and every one of them in full and I save them all for future reference. Even if people are not responding to your articles, please don’t ever assume that you’re yelling into a void. A lot of us don’t really know what we can do about the state of things in our country, but your articles are giving us information and hope because you show us that there are other people out there who care about the same issues that we care about. Thank you for what you do.”

No. 5

“As usual Ron, a great, to the point factual article. Everything you have said is patently obvious to everyone but the general public with a progressive liberal mindset. Since roughly 50% of our population has a liberal mindset, the chances of Americas survival are slim at best.  Even in the face of irrefutable evidence to the contrary, liberals continue to cling to their destructive belief system. I am afraid that only a cataclysmic event effecting there belief system would alter there thinking—and maybe not.”

No. 6

“Not to be beaten down by ignorant responders, Ron, any dissenter from what has been soundly established as the “new normal” in that paradigm reflects the extent of success deep state control has accomplished over closed minded followers of the agenda to weaken America’s Constitutional system. We are well into the third, and possibly fourth generation of public school graduates who have no depth of history, consider America a tyrannical nation (since founding) and believe all our problems are the fault of capitalism. These followers of Socialism mirror the outcome of their K12 and college training.  Our social, cultural and moral systems have all decayed to shocking levels.”

In contrast, here is a response from a big-city Democrat (New York) who takes issue with our conservative viewpoint from time to time.  This response is representative of what well over 50% of Americans believe.  This is the mindset we are up against.  It didn’t happen by accident ladies and gentlemen and has been pre-planned by Progressives for over 100 years.

“Hey Ron, you really need to see psychiatrist. You have been so thoroughly brainwashed by right-wing propaganda you are now crazy! I pity you.  You are totally paranoid.  “My kind” have “destroyed America? That’s rich!  If anyone has destroyed America it’s the most dangerous terrorist organization in America – the Republican party, which has ruined the US economy with its disastrous “trickle down economics” imposed on us by the 3rd worst US president Reagan, after Trump the worst and GW Bush the second worse.  They have destroyed the middle class in America allowed the cost of living to increase steadily while keeping wages from rising, destroyed millions of jobs by outsourcing and created ever increasing unemployment, poverty and hopelessness in this country.  Yet clueless morons like you blame the Democrats for all our problems.  And the Constitution is whatever right-wingers like you say it is, not what it really is.  You use it as an excuse to justify your stupid and destructive right-wing agenda for America.   If you disapprove of something, it’s automatically “unconstitutional”.  “Unalienable rights?” What the heck are those?  Whatever YOU say they are.  Please calm down and see a psychiatrist! You need help.”

We’ll close this article with a response from a younger American who has a perspective that is shared by way too few of his peers.

“I am 50.  Although this country has made some pretty bad and even shameful decisions throughout history, it has brought forth generations of good loving people who have forged great communities across this land.  Our land even through wars and conflicts always had an innocence that you could feel inside and from the friends and family around you.  All the shows I watched as a young boy on TV were wonderful because they truly portrayed the reality and quality life that we had back then. Were we perfect? No. But we had a true and humbling sense of pride of who we were and of those who mapped out the way to freedom and independence.  Now it is a daily nightmare where freedom has been replaced by greed and corruption.  Independence is now dependence.  More and more I feel like an outsider in my own country.  Worst of all is that I feel isolated and fear that America is going to be lost forever if we don’t do something about it now.  Where is John Wayne and Davie Crockett when we need them?”

Many older Americans feel exactly the same way this younger man has described.

Tell us how you FEEL about the direction of America, no matter what your age, ethnic background, or gender.  We’d like to hear from you.

We are so grateful at the Institute On The Constitution for the wonderful, providential year it has been.  In light of this amazing holiday, I would like to give thanks for the opportunity to share the American View with others across this great country. I am especially encouraged by our American Club youth initiatives. Rush Limbaugh’s “Rush Revere Newsletter” recently recognized the efforts of one of our American Club chapters in North Carolina! In order to reinvigorate American youth, Rush featured this group that drew their favorite scene from “Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims.”

Statistically speaking, American Millennials’ (ages 18-34) worst subject is history.  Many know very little about our European ancestors, the Pilgrims, to whom the first Thanksgiving is attributed. These were the first Christian families to settle on the East coast of America.  Contrary to modern-day teaching, the main purpose the Pilgrims came to America was NOT religious freedom.  They had already gained religious freedom twelve years earlier, in 1608, when they fled England for Holland to escape the extreme persecution from a tyrannical King James I. They told us specifically why they decided to come to America in the Mayflower Compact – the first American government document: “…for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith…”

The Pilgrims came to America to set up an entire nation for the purpose of glorifying God and advancing the Christian faith.  This radical statement UNITED government with a responsibility to God and left a strategy for future generations to follow that has arguably brought about more liberty, prosperity, and joy to our nation than any other political philosophy in any other country in the history of the world!

The first national Thanksgiving occurred in 1789. According to the Congressional Record for September 25, immediately after approving the Bill of Rights, Mr. Elias Boudinot said he could not think of letting the congressional session end without offering an opportunity to all the citizens of America to render their sincere thanks to Almighty God for the many blessings He had poured down upon them.

The resolution was delivered to President George Washington who heartily concurred with the congressional request, declaring:

“Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor. . . . Now, therefore, I do appoint Thursday, the 26th day of November 1789 . . . that we may all unite to render unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection.”

This Thanksgiving let us give thanks to the God of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for America’s incredible founding and pray that our government would never relinquish its God-given duty to preserve our rights.

This is Jake MacAulay with the Institute on the Constitution bringing you the American View and wishing you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving.

“Progressivism started out as a social movement in response to the injustices of the industrial revolution and government corruption. Like many such movements, Progressivism began as a worthy cause. But the Democrats saw a political opportunity and adopted Progressivism as their party platform. It then evolved into a means to an end ….. perpetual political power. It further evolved into European-style socialism, which it is today. Ignorant, weak Americans bought Progressive-style government dependency hook, line and sinker and they liked it. All that ‘free’ stuff only cost them a vote for the providers-in-thief ….. and their liberty.” —Ron Ewart

THE NUMBER 1 PUNCH:

There were two polar-opposite happenings created out of the industrial revolution. First, capital was created at an unprecedented rate and the using of that capital for political purposes became commonplace, leading to massive corruption. Some have said that there was so much capital in the hands of an elite few, they could buy the presidency ….. or have one assassinated. Second and far worse, workers were being treated inhumanly, as if they were beasts of burden.

Throughout history, injustices have always created movements acting against those injustices. That a movement would rise against industrial revolution abuses was a foregone conclusion and about circa 1890 that movement became known as Progressivism. The movement’s goals were to eliminate waste and corruption in government and bring efficiency to government practices. Its parallel goals were to support worker’s compensation, child labor laws, minimum wage legislation, daily and weekly labor limits, a graduated income tax and allowing women to vote. With one exception, it is hard to argue that most of what the movement wanted were positive social goals, depending on your perspective. The exception was the graduated income tax, which we will go into later. It is also hard to argue that the movement was directly responsible for the centralization and increase in federal power to achieve those goals.

According to historian William Leuchtenburg: “The Progressives believed in the Hamiltonian concept of positive government, of a national government directing the destinies of the nation at home and abroad. They had contempt for the strict construction of the Constitution by conservative judges, who would restrict the power of the national government to act against social evils and to extend the blessings of democracy to less favored lands. The [Progressive’s] real enemy was ‘particularism’, state rights and limited government.”

After over 100 years of Progressivism, they still have contempt for the strict construction of the Constitution and they hate conservative judges. Most of the movement’s goals have been realized, with the exception of eliminating waste, fraud, abuse and corruption in government and greater government efficiency. Thanks to Progressivism, we now have a very powerful, centralized, in-efficient, hopelessly in debt, corrupt federal government who directs every aspect of our lives on the guise of social and now environmental justice.

But like most movements, the original goals, once realized, were never enough. Progressives have built up enormous political power through the electorate and like all people with power, they want more. The way to get more power is to “buy off” more voters with social promises without regard to the financial consequences and demean and demonize those who oppose them.

Those that hold the Progressive mindset have been hugely successful and have brought a majority of the people, most of government, academia, public education and the news media into the fold. Unfortunately, a free and prosperous people have paid an enormous price in the open and notorious assault on their liberties and the exponential rise in federal debt.

However, a surprising reversal took place in the presidential election of 2016, but that reversal may have a short life span because the Progressive side of the political spectrum has the majority votes, thanks to 100 plus years of institutionalized Progressivism.

THE NUMBER 2 PUNCH:

But one of the questions of the Progressive movement was how to pay for all the federal social programs that had been and would be passed into law, or by bureaucratic rule making. The old constitutional ways of taxation would not produce enough revenue to pay for a growing federal entitlement budget.

Prior to the 16th Amendment, excise taxes and duties were the primary sources of revenue to pay for federal government operations, in compliance with constitutional mandates. But government has been trying for 204 years to get around those constitutional limits and even proposed an income tax to fund the war of 1812. Fortunately, the tax was never implemented.

During the Civil War, Congress passed an income tax provision to fund that war. The tax started out at 3% on $800 of income and then was quickly raised to 5% on income over $600 in the following year. Surprisingly, the Congress let the Civil War Tax expire in 1872.

But after the expiration of the Civil War tax, the call for a graduated income tax became the rallying cry of the Greenback movement, the Labor Reform Party, the Populist Party and the Democrat Party. In 1887, the Socialist Labor Party jumped on board as well. The Democrat Party succeeded in passing the income tax law of 1894 and proposed an income tax amendment in their 1908 party platform. With Democrats in control of Congress and with the help of some very prominent industrialists and bankers, a graduated income tax Amendment to the Constitution was passed in 1909 and later ratified in 1913 by Congress and the states. The 16th Amendment authorized the creation of the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Service, in spite of constitutional prohibitions. (Government never has enough money to fund all the “great” things it wants to do and never misses an opportunity to raise taxes.)

Private bankers staff the Federal Reserve. They owe no concrete allegiance to the federal government, with the exception that the President gets to appoint the seven members of the Board of Governors for 14 years. The Board of Governors, unilaterally, determines Federal Reserve Policy without Congressional oversight, or audit. They can print money and then loan it to the federal government at interest. To make sure that those massive loans were collateralized, the 16th Amendment indentured the people of America, whose lifetime incomes became that collateral through the graduated income tax, enforced by the Gestapo-like Internal Revenue Service and its code of 74,000 pages of regulations. Once again, liberty was diminished by the Progressives.

Hopefully, it has not gone unnoticed that the Democrats, Progressives, socialists and labor parties have all been primary advocates for a graduated income tax to pay for all the social programs they have invented ….. to buy votes. The creation of the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service has essentially turned American taxpayers into indentured debt servants for an ever more powerful, growing federal government. The fact is ladies and gentlemen, “You Are An Involuntary Servant to Almighty Government” but 90% of the American people don’t realize it, or don’t care, especially if they are receiving the lush benefits from our government who is over generous with “our” money. In the land of the free and home of the brave, being “an involuntary servant to almighty government” is a contradiction of every principle of unalienable rights and individual freedom.

THE NUMBER 3 PUNCH:

Which takes us to the Number 3 Punch, the Great Depression. What really caused a nation to plunge into economic chaos? From the “Foundation for Economic Education” we learned that:

“The Great Depression created a widespread misconception that market economies are inherently unstable and must be managed by the government to avoid large macro-economic fluctuations, that is, business cycles. This view persists to this day despite the more than 40 years since Milton Friedman and Anna Jacobson Schwartz showed convincingly that the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies were largely to blame for the severity of the Great Depression. In 2002 Ben Bernanke made this startling admission in a speech given in honor of Friedman’s 90th birthday: ‘I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression, you’re right. We did it. We’re very sorry.'”

Ben Bernanke is sorry?!!! Well good for him! When will the people learn that when government starts “tweaking”, the people should be freaking ….. out. To the detriment of every American’s freedom and pocket book, government is “tweaking” all the time.

The Great Depression, a Federal Reserve caused event, plunged America not only into economic chaos and over 20% unemployment, bread lines, the loss of the gold standard and virtually national bankruptcy, it plunged Americans ever deeper into the socialism that the Progressives have been preaching and longing for since 1890. One could easily conclude that the Great Depression was created on purpose to further enslave the people to government.

Besides the many programs of FDR’s New Deal that included government subsidies for just about everyone, including the farmers, Democrat Progressives, under the 12-year reign of FDR, first or second dictator of America, (Wilson may have been the first) gave us going-broke Social Security and made Americans ever more dependent on government, a Progressive’s and Keynesian economic professor’s dream come true. (Later, Democrats would add the Great Society, Medicare, Medicaid and Obama Care to the Progressive mix, making Americans even more dependent and more in debt.)

In contrast and long overdue, the presidential election of November 8th, 2016 was a repudiation of Obama, Clinton and everything else Progressive. The failures and corruption of a Progressive government were on the ballot that day and they lost to a breath of fresh air called freedom, in the embodiment of a brash billionaire, a ferocious, plain speaking, irredeemable government outsider, with a mandate to “drain the swamp.”

Nanny government was soundly defeated that day, at least from an Electoral College perspective. It remains to be seen whether that breath of fresh air will last, or will be overwhelmed again by the putrid, anti-American smell of Progressivism, or worse, maybe even fascism.

Through Progressivism, America has evolved into a mob Democracy, without any regard to constitutional limits, a mostly ignorant, greedy mob that has neither the mental capacity nor the interest to discern whether government is their enemy, or their friend. Almost every person over 70 knows instinctively that government is always a dreaded enemy if allowed to go unchecked. The Constitution was supposed to be that check on power but only if the people held the government to the mandates of that Constitution.

But now the fate of America is left in the hands of the people under 70, who for a least three generations, have been steeped in a noxious brew of never-ending Progressivism.

It remains to be seen whether the “One, Two, Three Punch” we have described in this article, has “Doomed America’s Constitutional Republic” forever, or whether there is a chance to reverse course. That chance would have been lost forever if Hillary Clinton had been elected president. Progressivism would have been irreversibly entrenched in government and the entire body politic, until a violent revolution dismantled it, a revolution that always occurs when government sets its sights on “absolute power”, as have the Progressives for the last 126 years.

If you LIKED this article, let us know. Constructive comments are welcome.

Article IV – Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution reads – “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.” – This is a Constitutional idea and promise that today’s Democratic Party is 100% opposed to…

The Obama administration has done everything it could do to undermine the guarantee made in Article IV – Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. In part, it is this section of the Constitution which is at the foundation of Democrat claims that our Constitution is an old, outdated, useless document that stands in the way of their vision for a Global Marxist Open Society via Democratic Socialism – their new definition for “democracy.”

To put a fine point on the subject, there is nothing at all “democratic” about today’s Democratic Party, which is why that party is on the brink of extinction in America. In fact, today’s Democrats want neither a “Republican form of government” as guaranteed by our Constitution, or a true “democracy” ruled by popular vote alone.

The hot button topics that keeps the DNC afloat would all go down in flames under a pure democracy wherein voters would decide every issue by popular referendum.

• Gay marriage would be voted down
• Abortion would be voted down
• Higher taxation would be voted down
• More regulation would be voted down
• Open borders would be voted down
• Refugee Resettlement from the Middle East would be voted down
• Government run health care would be voted down
• Affirmative action would be voted down

In fact, nothing today’s Democratic Party stands for could survive a public referendum by pure democratic process. So, it isn’t “democracy” that today’s Democrats want, nor is it the Republican form of government guaranteed every state and every American in this country under Article IV – Section 4.

If you look at the basic “special interest” planks of the DNC in the bullet points above, you will see that the DNC has made itself a “minority interest organization” based upon issues opposed by the vast majority of Americans. They are NOT the “all inclusive” political party they claim to be in their campaign rhetoric. Their party includes everyone except Americans…

Therefore they, to include the remaining democrats in Congress, on the courts, at the State Houses, mayors and city councils will fight tooth and nail against Trumps effort to “make America great again.” They don’t want America to ever be great again!

After all, it isn’t Marxism, liberalism, progressivism or democratic socialism that made America great in the first place. It was free market capitalism, personal freedom, individual liberty, the sacrifices of the millions in pursuit of their own happiness under their own steam, by the sweat of their own brow, that once made America the greatest nation ever known to mankind. It was a Republican form of government that allowed the people to flourish and prosper, and grow a great society of free people.

Unfortunately, Marxist progressives have wormed their way into academia, pseudoscience, governmental bodies and the courts. As a result, we have college students hating Donald Trump and loving the likes of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and Karl Marx – Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein and Hillary Clinton.

In the book TRUMPED: The New American Revolution released in May 2016, we lay out who the real enemies of freedom and liberty are, their written game plan for destroying our Constitutional Republic step-by-step, their war tactics for accomplishing that goal and what the American people were poised to do about it in the 2016 election, which has since happened with the election of Trump-Pence.

The book was not written about Donald Trump, or as a campaign endorsement, or even to help Trump-Pence win the election. It was researched and written to help every American understand what Trump, Pence and all Americans are up against in the effort to make America great again. It was written to engage all Americans in a lofty goal that Trump alone, will not be able to accomplish.

In truth, many who voted for Trump did so simply because they opposed everyone else. Others bought into Trump’s vision for America, without knowing what Trump must overcome, or what they must help him overcome to make that vision a reality. TRUMPED was written for all of them… but it was also written for all Americans who have been trained to “fear” a Republican form of government. Trained to seek government tyranny to protect them from freedom and personal responsibility.

Those who have read the book understand completely that today’s Democratic Party is totally destructive of the Constitutional Republic and the party needs to be dumped on the ash heap of history and a new truly democratic party formed.

They also understand that they will have a critical personal role to play in Trump’s success if we are to ever make America great again.

I voted for Trump… believing that Trump will do everything in his power to make America great again – but at the same time, knowing he will not be able to do that alone, without the help of millions of Americans who will remain engaged in a productive way after the election.

Today’s Democrats do not want America to be great again. Many average democrat voters do, but they have been trained to work against themselves by the DNC and Democratic Socialists. Until the people learn the truth about who has kept a boot on their neck all these years, while claiming to protect them, they will not be able to make America great again.

TRUMPED: The New American Revolution should be under every Christmas tree this year, a copy for each member of the family, for the immediate future and for all posterity. It is necessary for every American to know who is really working against them and how, as well as who is really working for them.

Until every American understands what it takes to make any country great and who stands in the way, they will fall short of their stated goal, to make America great again!

“The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.”

Remember the headline from December 17, 2015: Paul Ryan Hands Everything Obama Wants in $1 Trillion Omnibus Bill – Including Funding Refugee Plan and CISA (Proverbs 26:28)?

It was reported that Paul Ryan’s first major legislative achievement was a total and complete sell-out of the American people, which masqueraded as an appropriations bill (Luke 22:48).

Why is it that the American people have not come to the realization that these politicians know exactly what they are doing when they are doing it? And why it is that the American people, instead of dealing with the treasonous self-serving criminals, give them a pass over and over again only to suffer another abuse of power? It is a question that Americans must answer for no one else can or will (Article 2, Section 4 of the United States Constitution; Isaiah 51:4).

Think of the content found in this unconstitutional and unlawful omnibus bill that Paul Ryan passed when he literally gave the foreign criminal in the people’s White House Barrack Hussein Obama everything that he wanted to further fundamentally transform America.

Let’s take a look at the content of this illegal bill:

1- Ryan’s Omnibus Fully Funds DACA

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals has granted around 700,000 illegal aliens with work permits, as well as the ability to receive tax credits and federal entitlement programs.

2- Ryan’s Omnibus Funds Sanctuary Cities

Almost 12 months ago, 32-year-old Kate Steinle was bleeding to death in her father’s arms. She was gunned down in broad daylight by a five-time deported criminal alien whose presence in the country was the direct result of San Francisco’s refusal to comply with U.S. immigration law—yet Paul Ryan’s omnibus rewards these lawless Sanctuary Cities with federal grants. Division B Title II of Ryan’s omnibus funds various grant programs for the Department of Justice (pages 167, 168, and 169) and contains no language that would restrict the provision of such grants to sanctuary jurisdictions.

3- Ryan’s Omnibus Funds All Refugee Program Ryan is not one of the 84 cosponsors of Babin’s bill to halt the refugee operation.
Paul Ryan stated that “We’re a compassionate country. The refugee laws are important laws.”

4- Ryan’s Omnibus funds all of the Mideast immigration programs that have been exploited by terrorists in recent years.

The omnibus would put the U.S. on a path to approve admission for hundreds of thousands of migrants from a broad range of countries with jihadists movements over the next 12 months, on top of all the other.

5- Paul Ryan’s Omnibus Funds Illegal Alien Resettlement, Ryan’s Omnibus Funds the Release of Criminal Aliens
6- Ryan’s Omnibus Quadruples H-2B Foreign Worker Visas
7- Ryan’s Omnibus Funds Tax Credits for Illegal Aliens
8- Ryan’s Omnibus Locks-In Huge Spending Increases
9- Ryan’s Omnibus Fails to Allocate Funds to Complete the 700-Mile
Double-Layer Border Fence That Congress Promised the American People
On the 13th of November Paul Ryan said the, Removing illegal immigrants will not be a “focus” of a Trump administration, says Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, a longstanding supporter of open borders and cheap labor.

For a guy who seems so adamant about alluring the illegal’s into America one should ask this criminal why it is that he has a fence around his property.
Breitbart again reported, “ICE officers have… been disturbed to hear some of the recent comments made by the Republican House Speaker,” said the ICE Council President. “Your 2015 spending bill funded sanctuary cities, the resettlement of illegal alien border crossers, the release of criminal aliens and executive amnesty—policies which jeopardize the safety and security of the American people.”

While reports have documented that the border surge is currently the worst it’s ever been, the ICE Council president said that as House Speaker, Ryan has pushed policies that would only “exacerbate the situation”:

In the nine months that you have served as House Speaker, I am not aware of you holding a single press conference devoted exclusively to addressing this national crisis. Indeed, we were disheartened to learn that instead, the House Speaker intends to push and fund policies, which we believe would only exacerbate the situation.

In the letter, the National ICE Council demanded a meeting with Speaker Ryan. Yet Ryan never responded and never met with the council’s president.
When grieving mothers, who were forced to bury their loved ones as a result of illegal alien crime, tried to meet with Ryan, the Speaker of the House literally fled from them.

Ryan “doesn’t care [about our families] one bit,” said Laura Wilkerson, whose 18-year-old son was tied up, beaten, strangled, set on fire, and tortured to death by his illegal alien classmate.

“Paul Ryan is personally responsible for the deaths, maimings, and sexual assaults of thousands of innocent Americans and lawful residents,” the grieving angel moms wrote in August.

“Paul Ryan has never shown one millionth the passion in defense of our families as he has spent advocating for policies that would result in the deaths of more Americans… [He] has the blood of so many on his hands—blacks, whites, Asians, Hispanics, immigrants, and children of immigrants…

If Ryan’s considerable powers had been marshaled, in any serious degree, towards advocating for our families, demanding change for our families, or insisting upon justice for our families, then so many more families just like us would have been saved. For all of these reasons and more, we deem Ryan disqualified from serving in Congress or any other position of public office that is supposed to represent the American people.”

It is the duty of every American to put a stop these criminals, who have a care about protecting those who destroy and destroying those who they are to protect. Enough is enough!

There is a true story told of Major Andre. He had been caught as a spy in our country, and there was undoubted proof that he was guilty. By the laws of war, he ought to be put to death. What he had done was intended to the ruin of the American cause and if such an act went unpunished, it would expose the army to surprise and destruction.

He should, in accordance with the law of nations, be put to death. On the other hand, there was his youth; his high attainments; his honorable connections; his brilliant hopes, all pleading that he might live, and that he might be pardoned.

In the heart of George Washington, the prompting of justice and mercy came into collision. Both could not be satisfied, and there seemed to be but one course of pursuit. His sense of justice was shown in the act by which he signed the death warrant. His feelings of compassion in the fact that when he did it, his eyes poured forth a flood of tears.

You see, Washington so loved his country that he knew if such an act went unpunished, it would only encourage the next person to do it as well, thus endangering the country. Justice had to be satisfied.

How every generous feeling of our nature would have been gratified if mercy could have triumphed, and the youthful and accomplished officer could have been spared.

Every country carries an “ethos” or philosophy about itself. That ethos runs through the core of its being. That ethos drives its laws, its actions, its history and its future.

That ethos runs through the hearts, minds and souls of its citizens. Ethos creates the individual and national ‘bonding’ that maintains the ‘glue’ of what it’s like to be a citizen of a country.

Today, through the efforts of Congress and Barack Obama, America’s national identity stands in the hangman’s noose and the Guillotine’s clutches.

For the past 51 years, Congress forced over 100,000,000 (million) legal immigrants from 190 countries with 190 different religions and with 190 different cultures along with 190 different worldviews to saturate America with multiculturalism and diversity. Congress allowed 15 to 31 million illegal alien migrants to cross over our borders and remain in our country in violation of our laws.

If you look at parallel societies created in Detroit, Michigan with the Muslim juggernaut or the Mexican contingent of La Raza taking over southern California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas—you witness the fundamental changing of America’s successful ethos that will eventually end up like Lebanon’s or Germany’s or Sweden’s or the United Kingdom.

The great philosopher Emanuel Kant said, “The two great dividers of any civilization are religion and language.”

Simply said, if you morph a country into different languages and religions, you create ultimate fragmentation. That historical fact runs true whether you witness Muslims breaking off from Hindu’s and Buddhists in India to form Pakistan, or, one look at Lebanon shows bombings and chaos among its diverse religious and language groups—forced upon that country formerly known as the “Switzerland of the Mediterranean.”

Some 35 years ago, a Frenchman Jean Raspail, angry that the French president began importing Muslims from Africa and the Middle East wrote a book, Camp of the Saints, which proved terribly clairvoyant. He spoke of a vast armada of poor people having destroyed the ecology of their own countries, sailed toward France to be saved from starvation, human misery and suffering.

He wrote one alarming scenario after another. One of the leaders of the poor spoke to a captain on one of the ships, “You don’t know my people—the squalor, superstitions, the fatalistic sloth that they have wallowed in for generations. You don’t know what you’re in for if that fleet of brutes ever lands in your lap. Everything will change in this country of yours. They will swallow you up.”

Today, you see Black Lives Matter attempting to have all police officers executed as they demonstrate and chant through the streets of America. You see Mexican patriots waving the Mexican flag as they parade proudly screaming, “This is Mexican land and it will be Mexico again.” You see Detroit, Michigan and Miami, Florida being turned into Islamic caliphates. Already, the U.S. Defense Department keeps an eye on 22 confirmed Islamic training terror camps within America from New York to Oregon.

You watch professional football players sitting down at the playing of our national anthem in defiance of our ethos, our pride in our country, our pride in our armed forces and our pride in ourselves.

Already in America, we see female genital mutilation of all Muslims girls in America; we see honor killings of women and daughters by fathers and sons; we see arranged marriages of little Muslim girls to much older men; we see Muslim tension toward gays and we see Muslims pushing their way into the White House staff with no less than 10 advisors. One of those aides, Muhammad Magid pushes for the installation of Sharia Law in America under the direction of Barack Obama.

Next, language forms the foundation of any civilization. Without a single, cohesive language, which everyone speaks, we see conflict.

Today, Spanish grows more powerful than ever before. A total of six different Spanish-speaking TV stations play in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. More in Texas, Arizona and Miami, Florida!

In New York City, with nearly 40 percent foreign born out of 8.3 million, that city features 800 different spoken languages within its city limits.

“The tie of language is the strongest and most durable that can unite mankind,” said Tocqueville. “It also can fragment any society faster than war if two different languages compete.”

Latinos grow to 51 percent by 2042 in America. Watch for the English language to degrade into Spanish. In places like Detroit, Michigan where Arabic dominates in 2016, look for complete and total separation of Muslims against Americans. You will not see anyone fly Old Glory or repeat the Pledge of Allegiance to America anywhere in Detroit under Muslim domination.

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Omar Ahmed, director of Council on American Islamic Relations.

On Monday, November 28, 2016, at Ohio State University campus, a Somali Muslim drove into a crowd of students, jumped out and stabbed nine people in a fit of Islamic rage.

As former Governor Richard D. Lamm of Colorado said, “We are the only country in history that deliberately changed its ethnic makeup, and history has few examples of “diversity” creating a stable society.”

Obama continues with his promise to fundamentally change America’s demographics. No less than 7,000,000 (million) Syrians have applied to come to the U.S. as “refugees”….

If we fail to stop mass immigration into America, that extra 100 million third world immigrants cannot help themselves, their languages, their cultures and their behaviors—that diametrically oppose Western thought, Western governance and Western reason.

We force our kids into a hell of a self-inflicted, devastating destiny.

“You don’t know what you’re in for if that fleet of brutes ever lands in your lap. Everything will change in this country of yours. They will swallow you up.”

These two videos give you and idea of what your kids face. Every American parent needs to watch these two videos:

In a five minute astoundingly simple yet brilliant video, “Immigration, Poverty, and Gum Balls”, Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.ORG, graphically illustrates the impact of overpopulation. Take five minutes to see for yourself: “Immigration by the numbers—off the chart” by Roy Beck

This 10 minute demonstration shows Americans the results of unending mass immigration on the quality of life and sustainability for future generations: in a few words, “Mind boggling!” www.NumbersUSA.org

Politics is like the sport of sailing. In a world-class competition, you may have 30 to 50 competitors, all very experienced, smart sailors. You all have identical boats. You have a level playing field. You have no control over the wind, the waves, the current, or your competition. You control only where your boat goes.

Competitive sailing is like a three-dimensional chess game where you must make a new decision every second. The race lasts about two hours. The wind may be 5 to 25 knots. At the end of the race, you will have made about 7200 decisions. You are physically and mentally exhausted, but not so much that you can’t attend the evening parties.

You have one race per day for several days. At the end of the series, the team that made the fewest mistakes wins.

In the last race, you may have to forego first place to assure that you beat your closest competitors in the series … like I did in a world competition when I won first place in the series by purposely getting third place in the last race.

In politics, we call this the art of compromise. We never get 100 percent of our desires in politics but by compromise, we can get much of what we want. If we refuse to compromise, or vote third party, we will get little of what we want. Compromise is part of the Art of the Deal and smart politics.

Presidential election

Donald Trump won the nomination because he made fewer mistakes than his Republican competitors. He won the presidency because he made fewer mistakes than Hillary Clinton. His detractors criticized his every action that they thought was a mistake. But Trump is smarter than his detractors. That’s why he won and they lost.

Similarly, now that Trump has won, we should let him do his job. We should not try to micromanage him. We should not criticize his decisions. Trump is smart and his data sources far exceed ours. What may seem like a bad decision to us, is very likely the best decision in the big picture.

Opinions about why Trump won are as many as there are pundits but here are the facts. Trump won because he had the best game plan, “Make America Great Again,” and he did not make very many mistakes.

Trump appealed to the disenfranchised working class, many of them lifelong Democrats. He appealed to the nationalists and populists. He appealed to conservative Evangelicals He gathered the support of all four faces of the Republican Party. No other Republican candidate had such wide support.

Donald Trump won because his candidacy became a people’s revolution. This song from Les Miserables describes the candidacy of Donald Trump. Understand this song to understand politics:

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!

When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Shocked at their loss, Democrats want to eliminate the Electoral College and choose presidents by popular vote. They don’t understand that America is a Republic. America is modeled after the Iroquois Federation of Hiawatha. Each state votes independently. The Electoral College gives each state one vote for each Senator plus one vote for each Representative. That was part of the deal when each state joined the United States. Democrats want to change the deal.

Rather than eliminate the Electoral College, how about we simply count the states? Trump won 30 states. Clinton won 20 plus Washington, DC. The states choose Donald Trump for president. That is why the Democrats will never get two-thirds of the states to approve the elimination of the Electoral College.

Clinton won Washington, DC, with 92.8 percent of the vote. That shows how strongly the Democrats control America. They dominate the bureaucrats. Washington, DC, has 3 electoral votes, the same number as Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Alaska.

Montana’s elections

The fewest mistakes also determined the election results in the political microcosm of Montana. The Montana GOP did a good job. They properly took credit for GOP wins in Montana. But they were lucky and they could have done better.

The Montana GOP was lucky because Donald Trump’s popularity pulled all the Republican candidates ahead. The Montana GOP made a mistake in not realizing Trump would win by so much. Many tea party players who dominate the Montana GOP did not support Trump.

Here are the results of Montana’s key statewide votes.

Montana’s vote for AG Tim Fox not only reelected him as Attorney General but also assured his election as Montana’s next Governor in 2020.

Montana’s second most popular candidate is Congressman Ryan Zinke. His reelection was a significant win over his opponent Juneau. Democrats tried to defeat Zinke by advertising Zinke’s support of Trump. They failed to recognize Trump’s popularity among Montana voters. Their advertising helped Zinke win.

The only Republican to lose a Montana statewide race was governor candidate Greg Gianforte. Gianforte’s opponent was incumbent Democrat Governor Bullock, certainly a worthy opponent.

Montana GOP’s and Gianforte’s mistake was to not connect Gianforte with Trump. I advised Gianforte personally to connect himself with the Trump campaign and to adopt Trump’s positions on the issues.

Gianaforte did not attend Donald Trump’s widely-viewed primary rally in Montana. Zinke did. Bullock beat Gianforte by 52 to 48 percent. Trump beat Clinton 61 to 39 percent. Had Gianforte associated his campaign with Trump’s, he would have gained at least 5 percentage points and won the governor’s race.

A former Montana Congressman, who advised Gianforte and the Montana GOP, continued to claim on Twitter and Facebook that Trump could not win. He was very anti Donald Trump. I argued that his logic was wrong and that Trump was going to win, and win strongly in Montana. His response was to call me “stupid” and block me on Twitter and Facebook. His political mistakes helped Bullock beat Gianforte.

Republicans Stapleton, Rosendale, and Arntzen also won their statewide races. Rosendale and Arntzen won by small margins and were helped more by Donald Trump than by the Montana GOP.

Democrats would have won more legislative races of they had simply connected their Republican opponents with their votes against the critical 2015 legislative bill, SB 262, Montana’s Last Indian Water Compact.

This bill was a clear example where the voters supported the Compact and the tea party Republicans opposed the Compact without good reason. AG Tim Fox and Governor Bullock supported the Compact and they won reelection.

Governor Bullock could have used the Compact against Gianforte because Gianforte contributed to many Republicans who voted against the Compact. Had Bullock done this, he would have raised voter awareness of the Water Compact vote, and helped Democrats win their legislative races. Lacking this attention to the Compact, unaware voters reelected many Republican legislators who voted against the Compact.

In conclusion, the team that makes fewest mistakes wins.

Between eating Turkey, passing out, and eating more turkey, plus pumpkin cheesecake (a dollop of whipped cream on top), I caught the news on TV. It seemed the lead story of every broadcast was Trump is an uncouth two-faced SOB. The incredulous mainstream media is going to bombard us for the next four years, spinning every news story to further the Left’s despicable lie that stupid racist whites elected America’s version of Hitler.

The Left has already begun doubling down on it’s efforts to demonize conservatism and block every attempt to reverse Obama’s illegal far-left radical transformation of our once great nation.

Heads up folks. Step one in the Left’s War Room playbook is to discourage us; convince us that Trump is a fraud who will betray his voters. This is why we are seeing so many Leftist talking heads, the NY Times and other democrat operatives disguised as media claiming Trump is backing away from his campaign promises. Don’t fall for it folks.

These people on the Left are relentless and evil. Yes, I said evil. Most of what they stand for and desire to do is consistently anti-God, anti-America and anti-traditional family and values. They always send the message that God’s original plan and purposes are stupid. They have a much better more sophisticated idea for the way things ought to be. But, I digress.

Even as I speak, Hillary’s camp is still insidiously scheming to steal the presidential election from We the People in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

In an unprecedented sleazy attack, Hillary’s thugs sent threatening letters to electors to bully them into breaking tradition and the law by voting against the will of voters in their states. Hillary’s thugs are trying to strong-arm electors to vote for Hillary on December 19th rather than Trump, the peoples’ choice.

The Clintons are like Jason and Michael Myers in those Friday the 13th and Halloween movies. No matter what was done to kill Jason and Michael; hit them with a train or cutting them up into little pieces, somehow they came back to life. Thus, I am holding my breath until after December 19th. Then, I can rest assured that Hillary is truly politically dead and Trump can begin fixing Obama’s mess; making America great again.

Since 2012, I have served as chairman of The Conservative Campaign Committee. CCC was birthed out of Tea Party Express. CCC’s brilliant executive director, Joe Wierzbicki and president Ryan Gill saw the need for a PAC laser-focused on electing conservatives; mostly House and Senate races. They asked me to come on broad as chairman of CCC.

I like to think of us as the “Wild Bunch”, the title of an old movie. We produce TV and radio campaign ads and utilize social media. We go the unusual extra mile of providing boots on the ground initiatives; organizing phone-from-home, rallies and standing on street corners waving signs; not my wife Mary’s favorite thing because she hates cold weather. We pride ourselves on squeezing every ounce of juice out of our resources, talents and efforts. Win or lose, we know we gave it our all.

Mary and I are still on the road. Post election, our CCC team is working on the Louisiana Special Runoff Election through December 10th, and then on top of that the push-back by Democrats to try and steal the election in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and then the 100 Day Plan, Supreme Court battles (go Ted Cruz!) and so much more.

My bottom line is yes, Trump won, but we’re not done yet folks. The Left is not going away, abandoning its evil mission to transform America. Think of them as villains Jason and Michael Myers, impossible to permanently annihilate. The Left will relentlessly seek to discourage us at every turn. Even before his inauguration, the Left has begun its shock-and-awe assault to destroy Trump’s presidency. It is vitally important that we remain unaffected by media spin. We must stay engaged, alert and prayed-up.

Like the Carpenters’ song, “We’ve Only Just Begun” the monumental politically bloody battle to reverse Obama’s evil transformation of our country. Crazy people are dangerous. Thus, be prepared for the crazy Left to come at Trump and normal thinking Americans with every evil scheme/attack their perverted brains can conceive.

Three Leftist black thugs beat up an elderly white man including kicks to his face for voting for Trump. A group of Leftist blacks beat up a black female Trump supporter and told spectators not to call an ambulance for her. Black Lives Matters have doubled down on assassinating police. Unprecedented, there have been 60 police officers fatally shot this year, 20 in ambushes. This is pure evil from the pits of hell folks.

We must be ready to legally push back. Quoting English military and political leader Oliver Cromwell, “Trust in God and keep your powder dry.”

My fellow patriots, yes, Trump won. But we have many more miles to go before we can sleep.

Benjamin Franklin on Electoral College

President Trump, I was disheartened to hear you say that we should do away with the electoral college when you wouldn’t have won the election, despite millions of illegal’s voting for Hillary, had we not been given the college by our founders. What those wonderful and brilliant statesmen gave us is crucial to preserve freedom and preventing a tyrant from getting elected. These are some of the important reasons the founders gave us the electoral college! Please refresh yourself on this important part of our Constitution which has kept us from mob rule since 1787. 

Although the preamble to the Constitution begins with “We the people,” the word “democracy” (mob rule) is not mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights. Even the Pledge of Allegiance is “to the Republic for which it stands.” We are supposed to be a nation of laws, “rule of law” rather than “mob rule.” Read on…

Creation of the Electoral College

The Electoral College was created for two reasons. 

The first purpose was to create a buffer between population centers and the rest of the country. 

The second, as part of the structure of the government that gave smaller less populated states a voice in the selection of President.

Without the electoral college giving a voice to the smaller states, the large populated areas (as those on both coasts) would always elect the president. Today, those areas are heavily populated with welfare recipients, sanctuary cities, and we cannot discount illegal alien voters, who vote largely democratic for the free stuff they receive from the federal government. The electoral college is a buffer that allows all states to have a voice.

America is a Constitutional Republic Based on Laws

One of the inherent weaknesses in a government based ONLY on the will of the people is the potential for mob rule. This was often the downfall of direct democracies, where all the people decided on public matters directly rather than through representatives. We were created as a representative Republic, NOT A DEMOCRACY! In designing the electoral college, the founders sought to insulate the selection of president from the convulsions of the multitudes. The college was essentially an extra layer of security helping to guarantee that the president would be a truly capable individual.

In creating the basic architecture of the American government, the Founders struggled to satisfy each state’s demand for greater representation while attempting to balance popular sovereignty against the risk posed to the minority from majoritarian rule from larger population states.

Our Constitution clarifies the Electoral College in Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2, and in part states:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The product of the Founders’ compromise has been well balanced and enduring, and we would be wise to leave it intact, despite what Soros and the Democrats would like to do to it.

The First Reason for the College

The first reason that the founders created the Electoral College may be difficult to understand today. The founding fathers were afraid of direct election to the Presidency. They feared a tyrant could manipulate public opinion and come to power. Alexander Hamilton wrote about it in the Federalist papers. I know they were right!

(See All of the Federalist 68)

Hamilton defends the process for selecting the president. He argues that the system of an electoral college ensures that “the sense of the people” will play a key role in selecting the president, while, at the same time, affording “as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder.” It was believed that electing the president directly, without the intermediate step of the electors, might lead to instability. Hamilton argues that electors will be protected from bias since they do not hold any other political office and are separated from electors from other states.Hamilton believed that this system would best ensure that the president was a man of great virtue and ability, which has not always been the case, but has undoubtedly kept us somewhat protected. 

They believed that with the Electoral College no one would be able to manipulate the citizenry. It would act as check on an electorate that might be duped. Hamilton and the other founders did not trust the population to make the right choice. (We have seen this many times in the past, which proved our founders right, and they didn’t have radio or television influence in the late 1700s.) 

The founders also believed that the Electoral College had the advantage of being a group that met only once and thus could not be manipulated over time by foreign governments or others. Brilliant men of letters, oh how I wish they were here today!

The Second Reason for the College

The electoral college is also part of compromises made at the 1787 Convention to satisfy the small states. The United States Constitution was made by and for the states, and the founders wanted each state to have a voice in elections.

Under the system of the Electoral College each state had the same number of electoral votes as they have senators and representatives in Congress, thus no state could have less than three. 

Again, the Electoral College system was drafted by the states to empower the states, so as to preserve regional identity and protect small states from the domination of the larger ones.

The Daily Caller states it even better than I ever could:

The Founders understood that democracy was important, but they knew that if it wasn’t tempered by a republican system, majority rule could lead to tyranny. Thomas Jefferson wisely admonished future generations of voters that, “Measures are too often decided, not according to the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an overbearing majority.”

Although the Framers guaranteed a “Republican form of government” to the states (Article 4, Section 4), the rights of states are under attack. Their jurisdiction in issues ranging from the death penalty to healthcare standards to the regulation of firearms have become subject to federal mandates. Presidents swear an oath to “preserve and protect the Constitution,” and that must include a firewall to shield our republic from the deception of “democratic” national elections.

Conclusion

The founders of America’s Republic, the authors of our Constitution, were men not only of letters, but of bravery and fortitude who gave us a document like no other document ever given to any nation. We need the electoral college, the inclusion of same in our Constitution was a brilliant addition. God certainly must have given those men a vision of our future for this measure to have been added to protect us.

These men were undoubtedly led by God to preserve the freedoms and liberties they fought to attain. May the Good Lord above help us to do the same, and may our new president take time to study the American Constitution he will soon take an oath to preserve, protect, and defend.

There is no more dedicated enemy of the United States than the theocratic dictatorship and state sponsor of radical Islamic terror known as the Islamic Republic of Iran. Since the radical Islamist followers of Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held captive, humiliated, and tortured 52 Americans for 444 days, successive Iranian regimes have dedicated themselves to a relentless campaign of condemnation of the United States, the taking of American hostages, and the funding and direct support of terrorist acts against the United States around the world. Among the many atrocities Iran has committed against the United States, Iranian Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani provided copper tipped IEDs to Iraq and helped train terrorists to kill American soldiers, resulting in the death of approximately 500 U.S. servicemen on active duty in Iraq. Iran has consistently provided funding support, weapons, weapon systems, and ground support to those who aim to kill Americans.

Despite Iran’s fervent desire and active campaign to kill Americans and destroy the United States, the Obama Administration embarrassed every American citizen when it acted directly contrary to American interests by entering into the decidedly pro-Iranian nuclear deal (a treaty for which Obama never sought Senate confirmation in violation of the Constitution).

That Neville Chamberlainesque deal has provided Iran in excess of $7 billion, including $4.2 billion of unfrozen assets, and has resulted in the elimination of sanctions against Iran. That massive infusion of funds, including actual cash delivered by plane directly to Iran, and the wholesale end to sanctions against Iran have enabled the Islamic Republic to rehabilitate its economy and vastly expand its global reach and state sponsorship of terror. Iran’s nuclear ambitions go unchecked and its power and influence in favor of radicalization and terror continue unabated around the world as a direct result of Obama’s unilateral surrender to Iranian demands.

President Trump has pledged that he will revoke Obama’s deal with Iran, which is an essential first step in righting the wrongs Iran has committed against Americans since 1979, but it is only the first step. We need to work closely with Israel to retaliate against Iran, greatly diminish its power and influence, and eliminate its nuclear capability. In particular, Bibi Netanyahu is sorely in need of a green light from President Trump to do whatever is necessary, including leveling Tehran, to destroy the Iranian nuclear capability and end the Islamic Republic’s support of international terrorism. The United States should make clear that it stands with Israel in its opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran and should provide full military support for an Israeli war against that bitter enemy of both the United States and Israel.

Chastened by Iranian backed efforts to topple their regimes, Middle Eastern states that might otherwise come to the aid of a fellow Arab country are unlikely to come to the aid of Iran. Iran’s jingoism and advocacy of terror is aimed not only against the United States and Israel but also against its more moderate neighbors. Israel can therefore rest assured that its war against Iran will not likely provoke a united Arab counterattack.

The failure to take prompt action now to eliminate the Iranian regime and its burgeoning nuclear capability will redound to the detriment of the world in years to come. No country is more likely to engage in nuclear blackmail and deployment of nuclear weapons against Israel than Iran. Our paramount interest in ending the foremost state sponsor of radical Islamic terrorism, ending the taking of American hostages, and ending the loss of American lives around the world dovetails precisely with those of Israel.

That natural ally has been severely hamstrung by President Obama, who has absurdly attempted to befriend Iran and has made it clear to Israel that the United States will not reliably come to Israel’s aid if Israel attacks Iran. The Trump Administration has a lot of work to do in rebuilding Israeli trust and confidence in the United States. Beyond restoration of good relations with Israel, the United States must assure Israel that Israeli pre-emptive actions to save itself from the threat of Iranian nuclear blackmail and war are actions fully consistent with the interests of the United States.

Betsy DeVos – Not NO, But Hell NO!

Charlotte Iserbyt, January, 2011

When Trump issued the word “REFORM” in the same sentence with Betsy DeVos I knew he was intending to back off of his promise to shut down the Federal Department of Education.

With HUNDREDS of Education researchers in this country he picks the rich Bush Charter/Voucher women who if she cared one red penny about our children she would have refused the offer. If confirmed we will now see the rise in school-to-work education and confirmation that she is not only a supporter of a New World Order but is also a socialist/communist at heart.

How anyone can endorse this woman for the top education position in our country and not know what the true agenda of the Charter/Voucher push is all about is a mystery to me.

Ronald Reagan was elected president of this country not because he was a great man or because he was a movie star, but because he had stated he was going to shut down the Federal Department of Education because in the first place it was unconstitutional.

Then he brought in his worker bees, Terrell Bell, Bill Bennett, Senator Lamar Alexander and others who whispered in his ear and said, you know we really don’t have to do that – all the department needs is some tweaking and everything will be just fine. What most Americans don’t realize is that Reagan also signed no less than 2 treaties with Russia during his presidency which was directly linked to the sharing of education information. 

Researchers around this country knew Mr. Trump was going to have to be educated regarding Charter/Choice/Vouchers when he said he supported Choice. With all the names that have been submitted for Education Secretary – he picks the one the least qualified.

Who are the Non-Americans who recommended Betsy DeVos? She has no background experience to hold this position other than the money she has given to ruin our children’s futures. Her kids went to private schools! To prove my point Sen. Lamar Alexander stated on the DeVos appointment “she is an excellent choice”.

As Secretary of Education will the DeVos Foundation STOP and DESIST from the funding of any organization/foundation of which has ANYTHING to do with education or are we faced with another “pay to play” using our children as the collateral? Signing an agreement didn’t work with Hillary in relationship to her appointment and the family Foundation.

Mr. Trump this is one area that you OWE all the hard working Americans and their children in this one appointment – one that is more important than all the others.

By nominating Betsy DeVos, the Trump administration has demonstrated just how out of touch it is with what works best for students, parents, educators and our local communities. Just this one time I agree with NEA President Lily Garcia when she stated, “She (DeVos) has consistently pushed a corporate agenda to privatize, de-professionalize and impose cookie-cutter solutions to public education.’’

 

DeVos is EVERYTHING Donald Trump stated during the campaign process that is wrong with America – she is an ultra-wealthy heiress who uses her money to game the system and push a special-interest agenda that is opposed by the majority of voters.

How can these people continually get away with dis-honoring the First Amendment when taking tax dollars to fund private/parochial schools? Once they take that hard earned money of Americans they are no longer private schools. How are they making up the deficit and loss in revenue by playing the federal game?

Things You Need To Know About Betsy DeVos:

• DeVos has NO background in Education other than funneling money to education causes with the direction and relationship of those wishing to nationalize our education system. The Clinton School –to-Work legislation is not a joke.

• Everything you read about Betsy DeVos is about her loyalty to the Republican Party over everything else. How will that fit in with loyalty to what is best for our children?

supports Common Core, Charter, Choice and Vouchers for our children?

• She also sits on the Jeb Bush foundation Excellence in Education which was the first and foremost leader in the push and endorsement of Common Core.

• With her sitting on this board, it tells me she was fully aware of all the backroom dealings that went on to get the CCSS in place along with the Data Mining, National Sexuality Education Standards, standardized testing and the treatment of our children as if they were all Common “Human Capital” and alike.

• She likes to explain her support of the CCSS as only endorsing the part about high standards, strong accountability and local control. If this is true than she has not read the documents and heard the speech’s by the likes of Sen. Lamar Alexander and Marc Tucker to name two who are pushing for nationalized cradle to grave control of our children. You cannot have it both ways Betsy. American researchers have told parents and politicians for over 30 years that every “dumb” and “damaging” thing that has been done to the education system was not for better education.

• Elected Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party four times between 1996 and 2005.

• Having myself realized during the Obama terms in office that there really is no difference in the “D” and “R” parties when it comes to the education of our children the statement regarding DeVos being “a true believer in core Republican issues that leave nobody in doubt on where she stands” rings very true.

• She actively supported Marco Rubio for President and during one 56-day period the summer of 2016 she donated $1.45 million to Michigan candidates, state PAC’s and Republican Party organizations.

• No American family has donated more money to the Republican Party than the DeVos family having given $2.7 million through the 2015-2016 cycles.

Charter school failures due to lenient legislation, fraud, corruption and unelected school boards).

• DeVos belongs to Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and is heavily influenced by Abraham Kuyper, a Dutch writer and Calvinist theologian.”

• Her brother Erik Prince founded Blackwater, the controversial and now defunct security group that, according to The Washington Times, was a “mercenary firm” that “gained infamy during the Iraq War for incidents involving civilian casualties.

• Betsy DeVos supports clean energy/Climate Change/Sustainable Development through their group the Windquest Group which invests in clean energy, technology and manufacturing. In 2011, DeVos and her husband, via the Windquest Group, invested in Energetx Composites, a wind energy company.

• All of DeVos’ attention to education has been through Charter/Choice/Vouchers. She has NO education background whatsoever nor does she know by experience what it is our children need to RETURN to the 1960’s and before excellent education our children were enjoying.

• DeVos served as chairwoman of the board of Alliance for School Choice and she heads the All Children Matter PAC which she and her husband founded in 2003 to promote school vouchers, tax credits to businesses that give private school scholarships, and candidates who support these causes. Over the years, DeVos and her husband have provided millions in funding for the organization. Strange don’t you think that she wouldn’t consider supporting parents who home school their children yet still pay into the tax base which funds public education?

• She shows no support for teachers – only her money funding the education she sees as being fit for our children. 

I would like these 2 to explain to the country how if at all, the GOING BACK to the ABC’s of grading increased the community involvement or that of the parents.

But all children are NOT learning Ms. DeVos, especially those that are now being schooled in your supported Charter schools with the Charter School Management companies in control, H1B and HB5 visas coming into the picture supplying foreign teachers and dollars for funding. There is BILLIONS of dollars of fraud being shown in the recently released report by the Office of the Inspector General of the Federal Department of Education AS THE RESULT OF MASSIVE FRAUD AND MANIPULATION and this report does not cover the fraud and corruption debt by all the Charter schools.

Additionally, they are not learning because men and women who know NOTHING about education are continually meddling where they have no business being.

I defy anyone supporting Charter/Choice/Vouchers to show America where there has been this level of corruption in traditional public schools. This is YOUR money America.

Betsy DeVos is NOT eligible for this position and America needs to be sure to let their Senators know this is NOT their choice for the leader of their children’s education.

Former four-star General David Petraeus said he would serve in the next administration if President-elect Donald J. Trump offers him a position. But he admitted he’s damaged good due to felony charges. Petraeus barely lost his freedom when he was charged with providing classified information to a writer with whom he was having a sexual relationship.

Because he was given a plea deal and managed to stay out of prison, it is still that President Barack Obama’s former CIA director could even qualify for a security clearance to enable him to work in the Trump administration.

“I’ve been in a position before where a president has turned to me in the Oval Office in a difficult moment and … said ‘I’m asking you as your president and commander-in-chief to take command of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.’ The only response can be ‘yes, Mr. President,’” Petraeus told BBC Radio.

But the problem of the security clearance isn’t the only reason President-elect Trump should use caution is dealing with Gen. Petraeus, a man who served his country well for many years only to tarnish his reputation while working for a corrupt administration. There is evidence that he had knowledge of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s shenanigans with her home-cooked Internet server and her alleged pay-to-play schemes.

“Despite his excellent military career spanning 0ver 40 years starting with his graduation from West Point as a distinguished cadet, he went on to a successful career as a professional soldier. But once he attained that fourth star he seems to have become more a politician and less a soldier,” said former U.S. Marine and NYPD detective, Sid Franes. “Gen. Petraeus has no one to blame but himself for a scandal that included adultery, classified information leaks and dishonoring his position as a top military commander. He’s damaged goods as far as serving as a part of the Trump team,” he added.

Gen. Petraeus and the Hillary Clinton Emails

About 1,000 emails between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former commander of the U.S. Army’s Central Command (CENTCOM), Gen. David Petraeus, were reported to be missing from the tens of thousands of emails turned over to the State Department by Clinton’s minions in December 2014, according to Fox News Channel’s industrious chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge last month.

Herridge reported that a number of documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch provided interesting communications between two of President Barack Obama’s top officials.

The documents reveal that Mrs. Clinton — the Democratic Party’s presidential heir apparent — advised Petraeus that he should begin sending official emails to her using a private Internet address rather than her State Department “Dot-Gov” email address which is meant to be utilized for all of her government work, including emails containing classified information.

“Gen. Petraeus had to know that Mrs. Clinton was using an unauthorized email system since it was not a dot-gov web address. Again, he failed to safeguard information from prying eyes,” said former police detective and corporate security director Lawrence Fredrickson. “Since many of the Clinton emails were destroyed, we’ll never know if Secretary of Homeland Security Hillary Clinton and Gen. Petraeus sent classified material back and forth,” Fredrickson lamented.

Among the documents released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation was a heavily redacted FBI interview summary from Aug. 17, 2015. In it, a State Department worker from the Information, Programs and Services (IPS) section, which processed FOIA applications, wrote about how Petraeus’ records weren’t among the official emails turned over to IPS by the Clinton team, which included Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and others.

“CENTCOM records shows approximately 1,000 work-related emails between Clinton’s personal email and General David PETRAEUS, former Commander of CENTCOM and former Director of the CIA. Most of those 1,000 emails were not believed to be included in the 30,000 emails that IPS was reviewing. Out of the 30,000 emails, IPS only had a few emails from or related to PETRAEUS as well as a few related to Leon PANETTA, former Secretary of Defense,” Herridge reported based on her interview with an anonymous source.

Corruption Investigation

Judicial Watch reported that its officials released roughly 1,000 emails between Hillary Clinton and Gen. David Petraeus which were thought to be missing from the 30,000 emails provided by Clinton’s team to the State Department in December 2014, according to the newly released FBI investigative files.

Additional documents obtained through a federal lawsuit by Judicial Watch show Clinton had directed Petraeus to send her emails at her personal address, which was used for all government work during her tenure as secretary of state.

In a heavily redacted FBI interview summary from Aug. 17, 2015, a State Department employee from the Office of Information and Programs and Services (IPS), which handles Freedom of Information Act requests, discussed how Petraeus’ records apparently were not among the work-related emails provided by the former secretary’s team.

“CENTCOM records shows approximately 1,000 work-related emails between Clinton’s personal email and General David PETRAEUS, former Commander of CENTCOM and former Director of the CIA. Most of those 1,000 emails were not believed to be included in the 30,000 emails that IPS was reviewing. Out of the 30,000 emails, IPS only had a few emails from or related to PETRAEUS as well as a few related to Leon PANETTA, former Secretary of Defense.”the email correspondence between former Secretary of State Clinton and Gen. Petraeus, in which she had what she termed “blackberry blues” over her inability to use her BlackBerry inside her secure office,” Herridge reported.

“The FBI recovered many of the new emails from those that Clinton failed to turn over. These emails are government documents and not personal emails, as Clinton claims in defending her decision to not turn over 30,000 emails sent or received by her as secretary of state. The emails also show she knew about the security issues of her Black Berry use [and yet denied recalling anything about it or refused to answer questions],” according to Judicial Watch’s press statement.

Within the new batch of email exchanges, Mrs. Clinton also wrote to Petraeus, “If there is ever anything you need or want me to know, pls use this personal email address – hr15@att.blackberry.net – when corresponding [with me].”

Petraeus, who would later be the subject of his own scandal and mismanagement of classified material, during the time of the email exchange with Hillary Clinton, was in-charge of U.S. military efforts in Northeast Africa, across the Middle East, and into Central and South Asia.

His command included overseeing counter-terrorism and other operations in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Egypt.

According to the Daily Mail, a British newspaper: General Petraeus said, in wake of the Battle of Benghazi, that Hillary Clinton was “extraordinarily resolute, determined, and controlled”

Also, “Clinton reportedly became close with Petraeus after inviting him over for wine to discuss the Middle East in 2008. After Petraeus resigned from the CIA over an extramarital affair, Clinton reportedly sent a note of sympathy saying ‘I have a little experience.”’

Sample Communications Between ‘H and Petraeus’

The emails included the following:

On January 28, 2009, only one week after becoming secretary of state, Clinton sent an email to Petraeus from her non-state.gov email account apologizing for her “tardy” response to his earlier email and blaming it on what she termed “blackberry blues”:

From: H [mailto:hdr22@clintonmail.com]

Subject: Re: Follow up

David – Sorry to be so tardy in responding. I’ve had blackberry blues. I can’t use mine all day long since my whole office is a SCIF [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility]. I don’t yet have a computer and I had to change my address and lost some of my traffic.

(The State Department represented to a federal court that Hillary Clinton did not have a State Department computer.)

Shortly before taking office, Clinton emailed Petraeus asking that he use only her personal email account when contacting her. At the time, Petraeus was the Commander of the United States Central Command:

I’m looking forward to working w you both. If there is ever anything you need or want me to know, pls use this personal email address. All the best, Hillary.

CLAY, W. VIRGINIA —Not much happens in this sleepy little town of W. Virginia. That is until recently. The entire quiet area encompasses 0.62 square miles, hosting a population of 8,910, all who live below the poverty line. So it is not a place that draws national interest or attention.

However, after Donald Trump’s election as president, Pamela Ramsey Taylor, who was director of the Clay County Development Corp., posted on social media, “It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful dignified First Lady back in the White House.”

So far, so good. BUT she added this; “I’m tired of seeing a ape in high heels.” Uh oh!

Clay Mayor, Beverly Whaling, responded to that post: “You just made my day.” Suddenly, that obscure little town, named for U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Henry Clay, was no longer obscure.

A national outrage burst forth like water through a ruptured dam and the entire town and its officials were declared, ‘racist,’ the all encompassing word to hit your perceived enemies in the head with the power of a 2 by four.

Both Mayor Whaling and Director Taylor were forced to resign within the whirling sand-storm powered by loquacious air currents.

Racist? to whom? This question needed authoritative counsel so the entire matter was turned over to MilesTones for clarification. Did the ape consider this racist? Here is their specialized analysis:

How can being compared to an ape be objectionable? After all, the Democrat Communists teach for fact in the public schools, colleges and universities that Darwinism explains the origins of the universe, and…us. OK, tell us more.

These learned professionals state that we (human species) descended from primates. This columnist remembers attending a class of Anthropology in 2006 taught by Instructor Gail Bouchet at Los Medanos College located in Pittsburg, California. She made several statements about; “Chimpanzees, our closest relatives.”

They may have been her relatives but I can say with certainty that primates, including apes, are not mine. Yet, this is what is taught by all secular Communist bastions of education during this perplexing judo exercise in history.

One assignment given to the class was to visit the San Francisco zoo to observe the Apes, who, we were taught, belong to our family. To be proper, should we have worn suits?

So, if this is fact, as all students today are inoculated to believe, then how can anyone be insulted if compared to an ape? That doesn’t jive since the demoncrats pour the theory of evolution into what’s left of our brains.

So if we are to obey and believe ‘the scholars,’ which they demand that we do, how can it possibly be an insult to be compared to an ape? Indeed, the ape is the one that should be offended.

Apes are magnificent, noble creatures, who are very family oriented, excellent protective parents, social beings, and not violent creatures unless they are provoked. They are honorable beasts.

So it is the apes that should be given the apology, for comparing them to a human being who murders their babies before they are born, declare wars for financial gain, allow prices for lifesaving medicines to skyrocket for the personal profits of the drug manufacturers to whom money is the bottom line in every transaction, never mind the saving of lives, as they withhold their product until you can come up with the cash and humans evict people who cannot pay the increase of rent demanded and they promote sexual deviancy. An ape would never do such things. Unlike humans, they are decent creatures.

Now the big question. If something evolves into something else, that result is what remains forever. The former creature that we evolved from would be no more. So why do we still see apes and chimps still prominently in existence? They could no longer be here if they had evolved into something else.

The Answer; They COULD NOT still be in existence, since the original would have been wiped out by Darwin’s ridiculous theory.

So if we go along with the infected Left, there should be no public outrage of being compared to a primate. Indeed, that would be a reflected honor to be compared to the ape since they would be our fore bearers, as the Democrat Communists insist.

So Leftists, leave Clay alone. You are the ones who have falsely made apes and people one creature. That is the kind of dem-logic contaminating our country today. Frankly, the apes are far better beings than any democrat who says we are related to them. Yet those same Communists jump to heights of hysteria if someone is compared to the one they have demanded we recognize as us. This is how logical the democrap party is. (Drat-2nd typo)

There was a great deal of prayer leading up to the election this year, but we should not lessen the work at this point. Scripture commands us in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” So what should we be praying for in this interim between the 2nd Tuesday of November and the 19th of December when the electoral college will meet in each State capital to cast their votes and then January 6th when those votes cast will be opened and counted in a joint session of Congress and they declare a winner and then on January 20th when the new president is inaugurated? What should we be praying for?

Obviously in light of the great level of corruption, lies and deceptions we are aware of, we should pray for faithful electors and honest counting in all 50 States as well as in the joint session of Congress. And we should pray for the safety of the president elect as the riots around the country reveal that violent forces are now at work.

As Donald Trump’s transition team shifts into high gear, we need to be praying for them as well as for him because the decisions made in these days will have great consequences. Those who are chosen to surround the President will have enormous influence upon him and the decisions he will make in office.

Years ago I voted for Ronald Reagan. I recall the wonderful promise he made to end the unconstitutional Federal Department of Education. He called the Department of Education “President Carter’s new bureaucratic boondoggle” and promised to abolish it. He was spot on with that goal, it was something required of him by his oath before Almighty God to uphold and defend the Constitution.

But something tragic happened along the way. He chose someone to head the Department of Education that was not committed to that goal. I don’t know if this individual lied to Reagan to obtain that position or if he changed his mind once his was in the drivers seat, but one thing is clear, the Federal Department of Education was not abolished in the eight years Reagan was President. Tragically the unconstitutional Department wasn’t even diminished during those eight years. 1981 the President’s budget for that Department was over 14 billion. And eight years later in 1989 the President’s budget was 22.5 billion. It is true he tried to shrink that budget in 1982, 1983, and 1984 to no avail, in each of those years Congress grew that budget. And it is true that 1982 he crafted a proposal to eliminate the Department of Education, but it went nowhere on Capitol Hill. But he could have used the hard ball tactics that would have forced its closure but he did not. He was surrounded by those committed to keeping that Department and they influenced his decisions.

My concern is that those whom Donald Trump may select during the operational period of the transition team may result in blunting Trump’s entire agenda unless they are properly vetted.

Just consider for example the list of potential nominees for the Supreme Court to replace Justice Antonin Scalia. One of the top contenders is a certain Judge William Pryor of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.[1] This is the man 13 years ago as Attorney General of Alabama, threw Chief Justice Roy Moore off that office that the voters of Alabama had elected him for. What was the issue, Pryor claimed that the Chief Justice of Alabama could not acknowledge God, indeed that the State of Alabama could not acknowledge God. So Pryor, unconstitutionally, in violation of his own oath of office removed Alabama’s Chief Justice because the Chief would continue to uphold his oath of office by acknowledging God. So we saw an oath breaker, Pryor, persecuting and oath keeper Chief Justice Roy Moore. The people of Alabama rejected Pryor’s evil decision and re-elected Chief Justice Roy Moore to that high office once again. Now of course another set of wicked judges are doing the same thing to the Chief because he upheld Alabama’s Constitution against unconstitutional actions of the U.S. Supreme Court. The claim is that U.S. Supreme Court overturned Alabama’s Constitution regarding the definition of marriage – which it did not and could not even if they spilled a tanker truck of ink on an Everest sized mountain of paper.

But back to the history of William Pryor. He was rewarded for his evil deed by President George W. Bush appointing him to the Federal Judgeship – one of the youngest to ever be given such a plum. So I must ask why is this oath breaker even on Trump’s list for the Supreme Court? Someone has I believed advised Trump that Pryor would be good.

Also “Trump has tapped Congressman Mike Pompeo to head the CIA….Mike is also a heavy supporter of the NSA’s surveillance programs: “Congress should pass a law re-establishing collection of all metadata, and combining it with publicly available financial and lifestyle information into a comprehensive, searchable database. Legal and bureaucratic impediments to surveillance should be removed.” (The Atlantic, 11/18/16)

Here’s what Mike had to say about Edward Snowden: “[He] should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence.” (Washington Examiner, 2/11/16)[2]

So there are two illustrations of the dangers facing us if Trump’s advisors are not themselves good Constitutionists, if they have an agenda which will only take our country further down the road of destruction.

Who a person surrounds themselves with makes a profound impact upon them. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:33 “Do not be deceived, Bad company ruins good morals.”

So we need to pray for the president elect, and we need to pray for ourselves that we will not choose bad company. The best antidote for that is spending time in God’s presence. It is a false claim that some one can be so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly good. For to be truly heavenly minded means they will understand very clearly and pointedly what it is that God wants to have done in this world and then we will do it. The most useful people on earth are those who understand what God wants and then implement that in the here and now. The truly heavenly minded are of tremendous earthly good. Consider Moses as a preeminent example in Exodus 34.

The Real Goal – Eliminate the Electoral College

Many seem bewildered by the anti-Trump riots and demonstrations. And many keep trying to find a reasonable response. Give it up. You can’t reason with them with words.

Here is my take. They know full well that they aren’t going to overturn the election. These privately funded forces are being used to create pressure to destroy the Electoral College so they won’t have to deal with it next election. This is how the Left operates. Make a big deal over here to force the hidden agenda over there. The plan is to make enough trouble that Congress will move to abolish the EC to get some peace.

For clues on who is behind this effort one only has to watch to see which member of Congress proposes such action. The answer of course is California Senator Barbara Boxer. It only took a week after the election for her to come to the rescue of the broken and distraught Left.

Meanwhile, hidden forces are now meeting with and brow beating members of the Electoral College to get them to change their vote from the true winner of their state and vote out Trump.

The danger is real and gaining ground. But it didn’t start with this election result. A campaign to eliminate the Electoral College and “let the people elect the president,” has been gaining steam for several years. A group called “National Popular Vote Interstate Compact,” started in 2006, has won commitments from eleven states to award their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote. These include, Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Massachusetts, California, New York, Hawaii and the District of Columbia. These states control 165 electoral votes. They only need states representing 105 more electoral votes to join and the Electoral College will be a thing of the past. Meanwhile, such legislation is under consideration in Missouri, Oklahoma and Arizona, to name a few.

When a state passes legislation to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, it pledges that all of that state’s electoral votes will be given to whichever presidential candidate wins the popular vote nationwide. These bills will take effect only when states with a majority of the electoral votes have passed similar legislation. States with electoral votes totaling 270 of the 538 electoral votes would have to pass NPV bills before the compact kicks in and any state’s bill could take effect.

As usual, it’s easy to get people to join this cause – yet annother sound bite based on emotion rather than knowledge or logic. “Let the people decide.” “It’s the American way.” “It’s Democracy at work.” Yep, that’s why America was never set up as a democracy. Here’s another sound bite for you – “Democracy is a lynch mob.”- Here’s another one – “Democracy is three wolves aand a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.” Majority rule violates the rights of minorities. It’s not a good thing. Get the picture?

The United States was created by the individual sovereign states. They were already free and independent governments on their own. As they came together to create a central government they feared it would grow too strong and overpower the states, making them subjugated to the central government. So, to prevent that, the states created the Electoral College to make the election of the President a STATE election.

Throughout history, certain factions have challenged the legality of the Electoral College. Opponents point out that our President is actually elected by 538 virtually unknown people who are members of 51 small delegations in fifty States and the District of Columbia. Moreover, in most states the electors are not even bound to vote for the candidate that won the popular vote. In fact, many Constitutional scholars believe that’s just what the founders intended, 538 independent thinkers, bound to no one. There is reason and logic behind the idea.

The Founding Fathers, particularly those from small States, were very concerned that they would be smothered by the larger states. Under the representative republic (not a democracy) established by the founders, the United States is made up of fifty sovereign States. Under the Constitution, except for limited powers specifically defined for the central government, power for the rule of law is intended to reside in the States.

To deal with the problem, the founders decided on a compromise that would establish two chambers for the Congress; the House of Representatives, whose size would be dictated by the population in each state and the Senate in which every state would get two representatives, regardless of its size or population. You see, in the beginning, the states appointed Senators to be their representatives in Congress. But, like these so-called scholars of today who want to wreck the Electoral College, previous “experts” came up with the idea that Senators should be elected by the people ? “It’s only fair,” wentt the mantra! The result is an imperial Senate that answers to no one but their own elite club members. That’s what happens when you mess with the real genius of the Constitution.

The same problem arose in deciding how to select a President, the one nationally-elected official. Here again there was the fear that election by popular vote would overwhelm the will of smaller States. Again, compromise was reached to address the issue in a fair and equitable manner in order to maintain the power of the states. Each state was assigned a number of presidential electoral votes equal to its representation in the House and the Senate. In each state, the electors would vote for a President and Vice President. The candidate receiving the largest number of electoral votes would be elected.

Under the plan, the connection to the popular vote was the selection of state electors. The popular vote was to be used to select individuals trusted by the people to select the President. Each presidential candidate has a slate of electors committed to them. As the people vote for a candidate, they are actually electing his/her slate of electors. Again, the selection of electors goes directly to local control of the process. Under the Constitution, even the smallest state was assured at least three votes in the process. To provide a further check to protect the smaller states, in the event no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote, the names of the top five would go to the House of Representatives, where each state delegation would cast one vote for one of the candidates. In this process each state, again, is equal.

To understand the Electoral College one must realize that the Founders considered the states as the dominate power in the nation. Election of the office of President was a bit like the selection of the Chairman of the Board, with the states serving as the board of directors for the nation. The great mistake Electoral College opponents make is to believe the President was supposed to be elected by the people. It was never the plan.

There are fundamental and often regional differences in how Americans view the role of government and the leaders they elect to run it. Little wonder those who seek to strengthen the power of the central government prefer that elections be decided by the popular vote. It’s a great sound bite- but the results will not give “the people” the “fair” result they desire.

Such a move will eliminate the power of individual states in favor of elections decided by the population of large, politically liberal cities. I’ve actually heard it said by residents of California, San Francisco, in particular, “why do we even let people in Ohio and Iowa vote?” Such elitism is behind the “National Popular Vote” movement which apparently believes that only the East and West Coasts count. The rest is just flyover country.

Keep these facts in mind as we watch the enforcement of Sustainable Development policies that lead to Smart Growth cities. The stated plans of such ideas are that most people will eventually be ‘persuaded” to leave the rural areas and migrate to the cities. In addition, we now are witnessing the invasion of illegal immigrants who normally land in such communities and swell their size.

The “feel good” propaganda of the National Popular Vote movement insists that a popular vote would not change the face of the nation. However, by design or not, the fact is their scheme plays right into the hands of the Sustainablists who openly seek top down control through the establishment of mega cities. By forcing the massive majority of citizens into such areas, a majority vote in just a few will drown any other area in the nation.

In such a planned agenda for the 21st Century, individuals living in the majority of the nation’s territory will quickly learn how little their “popular vote” counts if the Electoral College is abandoned by the “National Popular Vote” scheme. Those smaller states (and therefore their votes) may have no impact on the election of the President, just as our founders feared. Control by a few over the many can only be defined as tyranny.

The abolishment of the Electoral College would, in fact, establish an election tyranny giving control of the government to the massive population centers of the nation’s Northeastern sector, along with the area around Los Angeles. If these sections of the nation were to control the election of our nation’s leaders, the voice of the ranchers and farmers of the Mid and Far West would be lost, along with the values and virtues of the South. It would also mean the end of the Tenth Amendment and state sovereignty.

Not happy to even let the states decide if they want to support the idea of the National Popular vote or not, the hard Left has manufactured the unrest in the streets to pressure a fast solution. Senator Boxer has answered the call with immediate legislation to end the Electoral College. Her bill masquerades as the answer to the people’s unrest. And the deal is done. Just like that. In the end, the result will have nothing to do with Donald Trump. He is just the convenient excuse.

Allow that to happen now and the great silent majority of middle America in this nation will never again have a fair say in who is elected our president. And that is the true goal of today’s unrest.

Hillary would have damaged the real feminist cause for generations!

So the USA did not get its first female President of the United States.

This “loss” so bothered the cast of the New York play HAMILTON that they felt obliged to use the stage to lecture Vice President-Elect Mike Pence who attended on November 18th about how a Trump presidency might not provide what liberals believe to be critical to their security needs… like, they might have to get real jobs and give up their free cell phones for which the rest of us must pay. Rather than the physical assassination President Lincoln received in a theater, Vice President-Elect Pence received a character assassination. Liberals are so violent — and the New York theater is so highly over-rated!

The cast gave no thought to Trump voters who were in the audience and who paid from $500 to $1,400 per ticket and had to hear the unqualified, uneducated analysis of actor Brandon Victor Dixon who used/abused the theater stage to tell Vice President-Elect Pence his concerns regarding the Trump administration. Conservatives in attendance did not pay an abominable price to hear an ill-informed actor speak about political issues and I wish one of the Trump supporters who witnessed this anathema would sue Dixon and the entire cast and the theater.

How do I know Dixon is uninformed? Two reasons; Alexander Hamilton once suggested to then President George Washington (and made a public announcement) that if anyone said anything negative about President Washington, he should be deported. Lucky for Dixon, President Washington ignored his suggestion or Dixon would be on his way back to Africa or wherever else his ancestors originate.

Second, Alexander Hamilton represented the big banker interests of Europe and was responsible for getting the first central bank (Federal Reserve by another name) implemented. It was a 20-year contract and then, like now, so corrupted the financial and banking system the contract was not renewed. So this is who the Dixons of the world support?

The behavior of the Hamilton cast brought back a memory of when I was consulting for a bank client in Cincinnati, Ohio (1991) and got a call from Brazil asking me if I would fly to New York City to meet with the President of the World Bank. “No,” I said, “I won’t go to New York. I hate it there. But I will be glad to fly to Philadelphia or Baltimore to meet with him.” I had consulted for numerous New York banks and had spent quite a bit of time there and I just didn’t like it.

My offer was rejected and I’ve often wondered how my refusal to go to New York City impacted my future. What did he have in mind for me? I’ll never know… but the cast of Hamilton reminded me of why I hate New York and won’t go there.

As a woman who spent a good part of my younger life training men for jobs they got because I, as a woman, could not get promoted beyond a certain point, equal rights for women is very important to me. I was actively involved in getting the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 passed. As the first female vice president managing a large loan and deposit area at Denver’s largest bank, I was asked by the Colorado legislature to testify as to the readiness of the banking community to provide equality in the granting of credit to women.

Equality for women and all minorities is important to me. My granddaughters are half black. I worked hard to gain access to equality as a woman and I sat on many minority boards to help non-whites achieve it, too.

As a woman of the new millennium, I realize things have changed. For example, most young women are no longer virgins when they marry and I find that sad, not “enlightened.” Most young women of the 1950s were virgins and it was a wonderful way to start a marriage… a meaningful gift to give when beginning a lifelong relationship based on trust. There were no pregnant girls in my high school classes… in fact people were a bit uncomfortable when the word “pregnant” was used in mixed company. I do not recall one single time in high school that a teenage girl disappeared from class for months to “visit a dear aunt” in another state so she could have a secret baby.

Things have changed. I laugh (scornfully) at educators who insist they must teach students to put a condom on a cucumber in sex education classes because so “many” young people are sexually active and need to know how to make their encounters safe.

It’s a good example of how unionized teachers – how liberal progressives in general – expand their ever-intrusive power base through lies and false statistical data. Whether it is carbon footprints or melting icebergs or climate change or the benefits of genetically modified food, liberals have no problem throwing phony data at the general public to get what they want.

It is also a slap in the face to the history of high school students who had discipline about the natural desire to be sexually active but were not for hundreds of years before these enlightened teachers sold parents on the fact that everyone was doing “it.” It’s true that sex represents normal behavior. That was the tidbit of truth to educator statements. All good liars include a bit of truth because it makes their stories believable. When is it appropriate to have sex was the question and the erroneous answer our educators gave us resulted in a huge increase in sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies ending in abortion and both have long-term negative consequences on the lives of our children. You can thank the NEA for that!

Many forms of enhanced technology have made life easier… not necessarily better. For example, families used to sit around the dinner table together. We had meaningful communication within the family unit, not Tweets or emails or Facebook messages which, in my opinion, provide surface level rather than personal contact. Had I, my brother or sister reached to answer a phone or tweet a message while seated at the dinner table, we would have been excused from the rest of the meal. Family came first.

Today’s fractured family structure causes much of our social ills. It seems obvious that to make it believable that it takes a village, not parents, to raise children the family first had to be destroyed.

Those are the views with which I was raised. The point is, Hillary Clinton is only ten years younger than me. She was raised during the same era and was exposed to the same social and moral values – and obviously rejected them. Her PROVEN behavior shows she is, at best, amoral… she has no moral values. Many conservatives consider her an evil woman while others see her as a congenital liar with a psychopathic need for attention, power and money. Her performance level at most things she’s done in her life isn’t very high, including her time as First Lady and as Secretary of State. There is no record of high performance and there is record of her many failures. If you need a copy of her misdeeds, write. I’ll send it.

America didn’t lose anything by not getting Hillary Clinton as the first female U.S. President. It was a gift of fate because had a congenital liar who has failed at so many jobs become our first female President it would have probably been impossible to elect another woman to office for many years. She would have been a disastrous President… dishonest and willing to sell out anyone – she was willing to arrange a uranium sales deal for Russia in return for a contribution to the Clinton Foundation. She was playing pay for play with our lives! What else might she have sold to enrich herself?

I believe Hillary Clinton would have used the Presidency to increase her own power base and bank accounts. Her history proves that’s what she does. Had she been elected, two or three generations of future voters would have associated female presidents with self-serving liars that have no respect for the Rule of Law… because that is who Hillary Clinton is.

As a female who would love to see a qualified, strong woman as President of this country, I am hugely relieved that Mrs. Clinton did not get elected because of the example she would have set. Anyone really interested in having a female who will be remembered positively as U.S. President – which opens the door for more female Presidents – needs to make sure that person is a pillar of positives, not negatives.

The purpose of the above words is not to re-hash yet again the failings of this female… God knows I am sick of hearing of and writing about it. If you need a reminder of a record that proves she has no character, go to my article about Hillary which has numerous links to reports about her history.

The people protesting Hillary Clintons’ loss by taking to the streets are making fools of themselves. If her record proved her worthy of the office, I wouldn’t feel that way. Had Donald Trump beaten a good, honest and informed politician who is female, I would understand their sorrow. My own sorrow would have been great and I probably would have voted for a quality female candidate.

Because I know her history, I pity protesters for their lack of judgment and obvious need to have a government run by someone who wrote a book telling parents they weren’t needed because, like all good socialists believe, it takes a village to raise children.

The other thing we are seeing played out by protesters and rioters (not exactly my pick as advisors or leaders) is their arrogance in demanding an end the Electoral College. Why are they making these demands?

People who live in big cities don’t think those of us who live in fly-over country should have a voice in national elections. It’s that simple.

They argue that Hillary Clinton won the election because she got more votes than Donald Trump. So what? In 1864, John Quincy Adams only got 30.92% of the popular vote. He however got a majority of votes from the Electoral College. We’ve had several Presidents who lost the popular vote but received the required Electoral College votes to become President.

Of course Hillary Clinton got more votes than Donald Trump. All of the “give me something for nothing” voters live in major cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, etc. Big cities have lots of voters. All are dependent on the federal government for their existence because most are governed by Democrat progressives and socialists who over-spend and need Big Brother government to fund their lifestyles. According to them, those of us who have carved out a higher quality of life than they can even imagine need to listen to them. As I said in last week’s article, they are terrified to face a world where individualists rather than groupies dominate public policy.

Lassie could run for the Presidency as a Democrat and the same people who voted for Hillary Clinton would vote for Lassie because she would put her paw print on documents supporting these people and their something for nothing, amoral lifestyles. That is not said as a slam at Mrs. Clinton. It’s a slam at the voters who haven’t got a clue what Democrat President John F. Kennedy said in his inaugural speech: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” That’s a foreign language to liberal progressives.

Keep in mind the announcements of the Communist Party over the years that they would no longer run Communist Party USA candidates for President because those of a communist persuasion could feel comfortable voting for progressive Democrat candidates.

You might want to look up the history of the Electoral College. The psyops experts have already done a number on a lot of Americans, convincing them that the Electoral College is anti-democracy. To a degree it is… but we are not a democracy, we are a Republic. We utilize the democratic concept of one citizen, one vote – but that does not make us a democracy. In fact, when you hear a politician refer to the United States as a democracy, run the other way.

The Electoral College prevents the largest cities of this country from, because of the number of voters living in them, telling the rest of the country how America will be governed. Those of us who prefer to live outside of major population centers have a voice because of the Electoral College – and that’s what these idiots want to eliminate. Take a look at a map that shows counties where Democrat votes flipped from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump.

Here is another map from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)) – hardly a bastion of conservatism. If you scroll down this page, you will see numerous maps with very brief explanations of each… how many Democrats voted for Hillary versus Obama in 2012 versus how many voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Both maps are interactive (place your cursor over the map and it provides information by county or city or state).

When you look at these maps, the arrogance of protesters who think numbers are more important than the rule of law should shock you. Look at all of those red counties throughout the nation who voted for Donald Trump. They prove he is, indeed, the President of this entire country!

I am laughing today at the arrogance of the actors in the Broadway play “Hamilton.” I laugh because they do not understand the difference between their First Amendment rights to declare their personal opinions publicly and their non-rights to force on Donald Trump supporters in the audience to not have the cast’s political opinions forced upon them. I laugh even harder because Fox News doesn’t seem to have figured out the difference yet.

The real concern arising from the demonstrations based on ignorance of facts, reverse racism, anger, and fear is the weaknesses of character of the Millennial generation. When I think of the strength of the generation of young men who were jerked out of colleges and jobs to suddenly be trained to fight in WWII and compare it to college students who cannot deal with a political defeat without pampered counseling and the need to be excused from very costly classes, the lack of character is frightening!

If this is the generation that will inherit the responsibility for governing America in ten or twenty years… well, it’s the only thing that makes me glad I’m almost 80.

I am so very pleased with many of the appointments made by our new president. The people he will have close to him are brilliant and will follow his policies and agenda. I am also glad that President Trump doesn’t have a problem saying, “You’re fired,” because there are a couple he’s appointed, or who are on the list, that are anathema to Trump’s administration and the people who supported him. Probably 90% of Americans don’t know the difference, but researchers like myself certainly do.

Hillary Clinton Corruption

I can see that immediately going after Hillary Clinton could set up an Obama pardon, and I also can see that it would start off the new administration with more hatred from the socialist left, as well as disgust from the socialist right. However, President Trump, you made a promise! There are many reasons she should be thoroughly investigated by your attorney general and your new Department of Justice appointees.

1. No one is above the law. Are there different laws for multi-millionaires than there are for regular Joe’s? I certainly could give you many examples of far less done by ordinary folks who ended up in prison. 

2. The country’s democrat voters don’t know what Hillary has done, and they need to learn about it. A full investigation and exposure by the MSM would inform them of just how corrupt the entire Clinton cabal truly has been.

3. The very extreme radical democratic party needs to be destroyed, or they will destroy us. 

You campaigned on this promise, and people voted for you because of your promises, and we’re counting on you keeping them .

Secretary of State

Remember Mr. Trump when you read us the story of the “the snake?” What Mitt Romney said and did when you were campaigning was venomous. Don’t make the mistake of letting that snake into our house. 

1. Remember Barry Goldwater? Mitt Romney went to the 1964 Republican National Convention when his moderate father battled conservative Barry Goldwater for the party nomination over issues of civil rights and ideological extremism. The family ended up supporting Lyndon Baines Johnson for president. This is Romney’s training, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he voted for Hillary.

2. Remember Romney Care in Massachusetts? It was the blueprint for Obamacare!

3. After he claimed a pro-life conversion, Willard Mitt Romney

• authorized tax-funded surgical elective abortion two years after he claimed he was pro-life.
• advocated grisly research on embryos after he claimed a pro-life conversion.
• nominated a pro-abort Democrat judge after he claimed a pro-life conversion.
• gave Planned Parenthood a permanent seat on a state board after he claimed a pro-life conversion.
• bragged that he would continue to defend abortion “rights” after he claimed a pro-life conversion.

To top it off, the Pro-Life Family Movement discredit themselves again and again. These groups and people repeat the false claim of Romney being pro-life after he:

• funded abortion statewide through taxpayer monies.
• opposed a Massachusetts Defense of Marriage Constitutional amendment.
• said homosexuals should be allowed in the boy scouts.
• officially celebrated “Gay-Straight Youth Pride Day.”
• sat on the board of directors for a leading purveyor of pornography without opposing the corporation’s exploitation of women.
• supported Bill Clinton’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” and thinks it worked and shouldn’t be changed.
• boosted funding for homosexual “education” starting in kindergarten.
• opposes a ban on homosexual scoutmasters.
• forced Catholic Charities, the nation’s #1 adoption and foster care service to place children with same sex couples even though he was under no legal obligation to do so.
• passed over Republican lawyers for three quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he faced and nominated two open homosexuals.
• supports passage at the state level of the Employment non-discrimination Act which would force churches and other religious organizations against the beliefs of their faith, to hire homosexuals and transvestites or face criminal fines and prosecution.

On United Nations Agenda 21, Romney is all for it and enacted Smart Growth in the State of Massachusetts while Governor.

Lou Dobbs reminded us of Romney’s excursion overseas in 2012 and what a mess he made of the trip, offending every leader he met. Not good for a potential Secretary of State!

Here’s the short video

Remember what Huey Long said, “Do you know what you have when you reward an enemy? A rewarded enemy.”

President Trump, Mr. Romney doesn’t match up with your policies and promises at all.

United Nations Ambassador

Haley endorsed and campaigned for pro-amnesty supporter, Marco Rubio.

Globalist Haley criticized Trump’s hateful and violent rhetoric, linking it to last year’s Charleston shooting. She has called Trump dangerous and said he’s promoting hate, and she gets rewarded with an appointment as UN Ambassador. 

Perhaps Trump is rewarding SC for voting for him by removing their governor. The Lt. Governor, Henry McMaster, will take over the remainder of Haley’s second term. 

Huey Long again comes to mind.

Education Secretary

I was thrilled that Michelle Rhee was no longer in consideration for education, but now her evil twin is taking her place. Donald Trump promised to get rid of common core in education. Betsy DeVos has been appointed by Trump as Education Secretary, and what I want to know is why we need an Ed. Secretary when Trump said he was going to abolish the Department of Education. 

The Department of Education (DOE) was created by Jimmy Carter with the full support of Newt Gingrich, one of the few Republicans who voted for it, and he thwarted Reagan’s efforts to abolish it.

DeVos is the daughter-in-law of Amway founder, Richard DeVos, and her brother is the infamous Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater, the private military company whose contractors were responsible for the killing of 17 Iraqi civilians in 2007, among other incidents. Breitbart reports that the DeVos families have donated to the Clinton Foundation.

Researcher Rachel Tabachnik noted in a 2011 Alternet profile of the DeVos family’s school privatization efforts that after voucher initiatives were consistently defeated by voters, the DeVos family shifted their strategy to a legislative one, and began spending millions on both campaign contributions and lobbying.

Like many privatization advocates, DeVos has resisted efforts to hold charter schools and non-public schools to the same standards reformers apply to private schools. As Chalkbeat notes, since she and her husband helped get Michigan’s charter school law pass, they have “worked to protect charters from additional regulation.” That may be why there has been little action in the state to improve or close low-performing charter schools.

When Michigan lawmakers this year were considering a measure that would have added oversight for charter schools in Detroit, members of the DeVos family poured $1.45 million into legislators’ campaign coffers — an average of $25,000 a day for seven weeks. Oversight was not included in the final legislation.

1989 Governor’s Conference speech he gave which should scare the socks off any of today’s parents. Lamar is the same man who promised he was “ending the national school board” by rushing a huge federal ed bill into law, that gave the U.S. Ed. Secretary direct control over what children learned and when. Totally unconstitutional, this decision belongs to the states.

These people are a bunch of control freaks who promise “local control,” but whose every effort is directed in the opposite direction.

Molly Hensley-Clancy wrote that DeVos claims now to be against Common Core, but she pitted her big money against the legislative battles to reject Common Core. It has also been reported that DeVos’s husband personally called state senators in Michigan to get them to vote against a Common Core REPEAL BILL.

Her organization, American Federation for Children, contributed HUGE sums of money for state school board races in Alabama on the side of Common Core supporters trying to oust Common Core opponents.

Trump’s transition team reported that his “discussion with DeVos was focused on the Common Core mission, and setting higher national standards and promoting the growth of school choice across the nation.” I wanted to scream when I heard those words! “Setting higher nations standards” is code for Common Core. National standards are what Common Core was designed to be. That’s how we got this rotten filthy Common Core.

Tying so-called Common Core “higher standards” to school choice is double-speak for “requiring all private schools to teach this filthy, brain destroying Common Core by using the control mechanism of tests.” Teaching to the test is why so many good teachers have left their profession or retired.

When Betsy DeVos acclaims “school choice,” she’s pushing an ed agenda that includes requiring all the schools that take voucher money to use state-determined curriculum, LIKE COMMON CORE!

She has used her millions of dollars in the past to do this. She’ll use the power as ed secretary to do the same thing.

If Trump wants to increase school choice, (which I’m against because federal regulations will follow every penny of tax dollars), and improve education for our children, he needs to send Betsy DeVos packing. Her forms of “school choice” replace one set of monopolies with another, both controlled. That’s not choice, choice is what we already have, she is out to destroy it.

And there’s more…

what she wrote in RollCall in 1997: “I know something about soft money, as my family is the largest single contributor of soft money to the national Republican Party. I have decided, however, to stop taking offense at the suggestion that we are buying influence. Now I simply concede the point. They are right. We do expect some things in return. My money gives me the right to influence politicians more than you can, peons.” 

Really Betsy? You’re part of the cabal like Hillary who are wealthy enough that your voice counts, but ours doesn’t?

We sent a fighter to the White House and we expect him to appoint the same kind of personage to his cabinet, not the filthy phony status quo. We want the legacy of a conservative leader like Phyllis Schlafly who said plainly, “Back to real phonics, reading, writing, and arithmetic.” 

Charters, vouchers and choice sound so good, but when you peel away the phony veneer, you see the rot beneath that the American people know nothing about.

Conclusion

President Trump is far more intelligent than I am, and always seems to have tricks up his sleeves, but his latest choices give me the willies. Don’t get me wrong, I love General Flynn, Senator Sessions, General Mattis, and even can go with Rep. Pompeo, but I want to know who is advising our new President on these latest choices.

Grassroots Americans who have been in the battle to save our Republic for multiple decades, have more knowledge and documentation than any of the so-called D.C. insiders. I so wish our new president would give us an hour of his time.

Pray for him, for protection, and especially for God’s divine wisdom and guidance, he needs it.

The Midnight Cry

“It was a tremendous rumbling sound and all the school went dead. You could hear a pin drop. Everyone just froze in their seats. I just managed to get up and I reached the end of my desk when the sound got louder and nearer, until I could see the black out of the window. I can’t remember any more but I woke up to find that a horrible nightmare had just begun in front of my eyes” -Gaynor Minett
The Welsh mining town of Aberfan lost their children en-mass on that fateful day in 1966. It has been 50 years ago, but the heartbreaking images of parent and rescuer digging and scrambling through the tons of black slurry that had suffocated teacher and child as an avalanche of waste thundered down the hillside on to Pantglas Junior School, is something that many people can still vividly recall.

For 50 years prior to the incident, the mountain waste made up of millions of tonnes of mining debris had been steadily growing and for almost as long the numerous petitions for its removal had also increased. It appears to have been one of those constant battles that we daily witness between sensibility and indifference, where indifference blindly persists and the common sense approach is dismissed, until it is ground down into submission.

Today, for those living in Aberfan, and for all those who survived, there is a daily reminder apart from the annual memorials and missed anniversaries that there are 116 children’s graves all bearing the same premature date of demise. There is also the constant remembrance of the unexpected, the unbelievable, yet the forewarned tragedy just waiting to happen. Could they have done more?

One parent whose child died in the disaster asked that it be recorded that the cause of death was “Buried Alive by the National Coal Board”

From others, and the memory of what happened at Aberfan, it is sadly reflected by John Adams as he writes:

I was 14 at the time of the Aberfan disaster. My school was very religious, and I had been trying to decide how much I believed in God. When the disaster struck it was the talk of the school, and in many of the classes we found ourselves discussing it with our teachers. We particularly wanted to know why God would allow so many children to die. The teachers had no answer. I turned away from the idea that there is a God. And that’s my view, to this day. [Read]
Mr Adams wrote a reflective account of how he now experiences God and it is how many people feel when disaster strikes. Indeed, if people are genuinely honest with themselves there is a rejection and a deep resentment within them for even the smallest of slights against a being that we are told loves us.

Deeper questions on the relevance of an intelligent force of Good which appears to allow disaster, against an intelligent force of Evil creating disaster are rarely discussed.

Yet today more than ever we are witnessing the unleashing of evil in all its forms in a way that is obviously not hiding from us. Like the mountain of black slurry that was piling up on the hillside of Aberfan, it is in full open view. It is slithering its way in to every persons home, school and church at rapid speed. Why can’t everyone see it, and why do some people promote and protect it?

We are told evil comes to kill, steal and destroy every man, woman and child who has a destiny. We have an adversary. Realizing there is some type of intelligent force orchestrating our demise is probably one of the most frightening revelations you can experience. Realizing there is an intelligent force which can operate with extreme subtlety and patience, precision and planning, and which can also use you to destroy others is equally disturbing.

In your midnight cry, the point at which you discover you have been tricked, duped, used or abused, you must make certain that you do not reject the intelligence that wants to help you, who has revealed this to you in the light of his presence; otherwise you will have embraced what evil has set out to accomplish.

In typical Star Wars terminology you will have crossed to the other side.

The battle for the soul starts from birth.

Abortion on Demand – Whatever the Reason

In a world where abortion has for the main part been legalized in so many countries, we still live in a world where the ugly reality of gender abortion (mainly the killing of baby girls) still brings up some pretty startling reactions. Even those who believe in the women’s choice to abort a child can still show some flicker of reluctance to the fact that female babies can be purposefully disposed of based purely on their sex and their liability in a culture that views men and women in this fashion.

With the implementation of ultra-sonography machines which have become much more advanced in scanning the ‘well-being’ of a baby we have also now become very used to a culture of knowing the sex of a child before their birth through the 3D images that ultra-scanning machines provide.

However, who would have ever thought that a ‘blind eye’ would be turned against sex-selective abortion here in the UK and that we might be unaware of just how many sex-selective abortions have been taking place based on the outcomes of providing parents with this information.

In an undercover investigation in 2012 it is reported that Manchester based Dr Prabha Sivaraman and Birmingham based Dr Palaniappan Rajmohan were secretly filmed and recorded offering abortions to women who stated they didn’t want their children based on the fact they were girls.

A private prosecution bought against the doctors carrying out this illegal practice by a Christian woman, 23 year old Aisling Hubert, now sees Miss Hubert with a bill of £36,000 plus costs of £11,000, after the case against the two doctors was dropped and it deemed not in the ‘public interest’ to proceed with the case.

Aisling Hubert is currently expected to attend court to explain why she cannot pay the charges made against her.

You can read about the full case here.

Currently, the UK has different policies within different NHS trusts on whether they will allow parents to know the sex of their unborn child or not. This is based on the reality of sex-selective abortions which is known to exist in this country and also private prosecutions being made against hospitals who may give out the wrong details. Private organizations will however carry out a sonogram to provide parents with this information and many expectant parents will take this option. [Read], [Read]

The New Normal

Sex-selective abortions however may not become such a problem one day if the heavy promotion in ‘non identification’ of being born a boy or a girl fully takes a grip. Removing the value of who we really are in some type of consideration to what we might one day ‘identify’ with is being played out on young impressionable and suggestive souls.

Despite warnings against the abuse being imposed upon children through graphic sex-education in our schools, with an emphasis on pleasure; the promotion of a ‘new normal’ way of identifying with your own feelings is now being directed towards children of primary school age. What and who are we offering our children up to?

Already, we are now hearing of a rise in children telephoning the UK charity Childline and NSPCC with very young children confused about who they really are. The numbers have reportedly doubled in the last 12 months. [Read]

I have personally heard of a little girl who just because she likes football now experiences a belief that she is ‘gay’ through the propaganda she receives from school, and it was reported recently that one little boy aged 4 has been allowed to dress as a girl since he was 2 years old because of gender dysphoria whilst his ‘twin’ brother dresses as a boy. It is not an isolated case, although it is one of the youngest cases to be reported here in the UK. Does it really matter? [Read]

Many people reported on the article that genuine compassion and understanding should be directed towards any child with such issues, but imposing and promoting acceptance on sexuality at such tender ages like it doesn’t matter, is creating a distorted and dangerous view which could harm a child in later life. Those petitioning for such acceptance selectively remove or condemn any counter-acting scientific evidence provided against the danger.

Whilst the child’s mother believes we should talk about such matters, we live in a world that rarely reports, wants to know, and even vehemently silences the reporting of transgender/transition regret. There is a very high incidence in people who transition; but still do not find the happiness they think will discover from trying to change their bodies.

In a 1973 – 2003 study in Sweden on 324 sex re-assigned persons the conclusions following the procedures were found to be that there were even higher “risks for mortality and suicidal behavior” You can read the report here.

Could the problem and the answer be a spiritual one – rather than a physical one?

Author Walt Heyer, from his website ‘Sex Change Regret’ also offers a wealth of information with links to research and factual evidence that people need to know. He writes: “Most will grow out of the dysphoria. Isn’t there some way to work through the distress rather than experimenting on our children”?

Interestingly, you will also find that many people who are considered LGBT have also distanced themselves from identifying with this type of promotion in our schools and society.

These are surely matters to speak about, but sadly a politically correct system of silencing such issues by labeling any type of objection as ‘radical or hateful’ is allowing a false sense of guilt to enter in into how we care for each other. It leads to ‘indifference’ and ‘chance’; a hope that your child may just escape the experiment or develop new ways of ‘loving’ which is a contradiction to the right way of loving or caring for others.

The Final Hour

With child sex abuse scandals literally swarming the news in the UK, some people are now realizing that child sex abuse is much more prevalent and wide-spread than they could ever have imagined; and it is very difficult to comprehend that so many people in such prominent positions can be party to such horrific crimes. Child sex abuse, once thought to be the rare chance act of a locally disturbed unknown is being uncovered within religions, schools, parliament, public offices and entertainment by people of whom we have sometimes considered to be of high standing.

Our latest scandal to be revealed in the UK has been within the football industry with over 55 football clubs currently being investigated on historical sex abuse claims which may have been happening since the 1970’s.

The lid of the pit was opened when ex footballer Gary Johnson revealed he has signed a confidentiality agreement and received payment from Chelsea football club, after being groomed and repeatedly abused as a boy from the age of 11 by a well known football coach.

With the knowledge we now have on how child abusers can groom a child, is it right that we are now allowing the grooming, confusing and sexualizing of children in our schools under the disguise of ‘sex education’ to carry on?

Child abuse is also often linked to the occult or the evil arts as they were once know. For the most part, this is unknown about and kept away from the public. It is very difficult to understand and read about, yet we are seeing many connections with known sex offenders, as for example Jimmy Saville, (awarded an OBE by the queen) who was connected to the occult, satanic rituals and ritual child abuse and sacrifice.

If you do not believe in God, then you must be aware that evil really does exist if you can bear to read the history of one of the UK’s worse sex offenders, and know that people protected it, rewarded it and worshiped it.

The recent media bewilderment expressed in regards to the ceremony to ‘celebrate’ the opening of the Gotthard Tunnel in Europe, was a blatant satanic ritual attended by people who once more not only took part in the event but enjoyed it and even turned a blind eye to it. The event was labeled ‘glitzy’ and explained away as being a portrayal of North-South reconciliation
Culture is becoming transformed by dark, introverted and distorted imagery and symbolism, passing itself of as light and calling itself ‘glitzy’

Consider that the ceremony portrayed the mine workers who built the tunnel as zombies, and that a sacrificial lamb (symbolizing Christ) is made to a goat demon who mockingly then mates with the spirits of dead miners. There is a spiritually significant message in this ceremony indicating that evil ‘lives off’ the life force of others.

Consider the ceremony was attended by heads of state who gave the performance a standing ovation. [Read more here]

Remembering Kenneth Hayes

The Rev Kenneth Hayes was 36 years old and was the minister of Zion English Baptist Church in Aberfan in 1966. Despite losing his own little boy in the black landslide, he reportedly preached the day after the tragedy and in the years that followed continued to encourage and help all of the grieving families in the village through the example of his own unshakeable faith in a loving God and a life thereafter.

I believe, despite his own grief, he will have undoubtedly bought some light and hope into the darkness which smothered ‘Aberfan’, a tiny welsh village whose people still bears many mental scars.

He also reportedly never stopped speaking up about the removal of the black tip which killed 144 people and later headed a campaign to remove remaining tips. One of the greatest scandals known about in the UK was the coal board being allowed to take money from the disaster fund set up for the victims to remove the tips. Years of petitioning by Kenneth Hayes saw the money returned in 1997.
The penalizing of Aisling Hubert for seeking justice; the biased reporting on transgender issues; the unknown numbers of children in sex-selective abortions; rife and ritual child sex abuse. We should be connecting the dots and wondering if it is purely coincidence or part of an evil course that is sacrificing our children.

How do you stop the landslide, and who will ask if there is an intelligent force of evil creating disaster and speak out against a politically correct system protecting it? Removing common sense and the silencing of speech is making millions of children vulnerable. Fifty years on from Aberfan and nothing has changed. Where are people like Kenneth Hayes and where do they turn too in their own midnight cry?

In that silence you couldn’t hear a bird or a child. -George Williams

Preparing the kiddies for their higher education at Crayola University, the United Educators of San Francisco—you already know what’s coming, don’t you?—resolved last week not to tell their students that Donald Trump won the presidential election. Instead, they’ll kind of let on that Hillary Clinton really won.

They also plan to encourage the kids to use profanity when speaking of Donald Trump—because, asserts the teachers’ union, he’s a racist and a sexist and a symbol of white privilege and he’s mean and awful and the no-good rotten people who voted for him are just a bunch of biggits and deplorables and they’re crude and stupid and, and, and–! The rhetoric gets kind of overheated at this point.

Besides, Science tells us that cursing a lot means you’re really very smart.

When the kids come home from school and turn on the TV, and discover Donald Trump is actually the president-elect, and their teachers were totally BS-ing them, what then? Will they laugh at their teachers? Or will they still believe them, fending off reality as just another vast right-wing conspiracy?

Y’know, though—some of our most important institutions are deep in the creek-mud. They aren’t working. Our colleges and universities hand out Play-Doh along with meaningless degrees in useless subjects. Our nooze media does not report the news, and has become a bought-and-paid-for auxiliary of the Democrat Party.

And our public school teachers, knowingly and purposely, teach things that aren’t true. As one teacher-in-training once explained to me, “It’s all right to teach children things that aren’t true, if those things make them feel good about themselves.”

I don’t know how teaching that Crooked Clinton won the election is supposed to make ten-year-olds feel good about themselves. Maybe they’ll find comfort in thinking, “Gee, adults have tantrums, too!”

Leftists can’t believe the American people have rejected their open borders, Big Government, one-world, transgender, Climate change, atheist-utopian pie in the sky. They just can’t handle it. “No, it can’t be! It’s wrong, all wrong! And we was robbed—we musta been robbed!” They can’t get their little lefty minds around what happened. They see it as a peasant revolt, the deplorables in flyover country ungratefully snapping at the ankles of their betters. Unthinkable! It never happened, it never could have really happened—

“I gotta calm down! Gimme some of that Play-Doh!”

It remains to be seen, just how much mischief these alleged teachers can do by monkeying with the minds of children in their classrooms. It’s possible the kids might tune them out: then all we’re talking about is wasting untold millions of tax dollars spent on public schooling. But if they can get the kids to listen, and believe, who knows what kind of hell there’ll be to pay?

We can all tune out the noozies. Their credibility is shot, and they are being rapidly replaced by alternative news sources.

But the moral and intellectual train-wreck that is our entire education system—that we can’t tune out so easily. There’s no way to get unionized teachers to tell the truth. The only truth they know is left-wing politics.

Our children have to be taken out of an education system that only does them harm. The system is broken beyond any hope of repair. Homeschooling, Christian schooling, are luxuries no more: they have become necessities.

All that can be said for sure is this.

Parents who love and respect their children must not leave them at the mercy of the teachers’ unions.

Because, as King Solomon observed, the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel (Proverbs 12:10).

Each year, illegal Mexican migrant workers send $24,000,000,000.00 (billion) back to Mexico in cash transfers. American employers paid them under the table and off the books with fraudulent identification. They never paid taxes, FICA or Social Security on that money. Their employers wrangled financial murder for the past 40 years. (Source: Annual cash transfers to Mexico, www.PolitoFact.com)

While illegal alien workers transfer THAT much money annually, all legal and illegal immigrants account for $120,000,000,000.00 (billion) sent back to Mexico, South America, Africa and Asia. In other words, immigrants from all countries bleed America financially to death. (Source: Worldwide cash transfers out of America, www.dailymail.co.uk)

At the same time, Mexico smuggles $50 billion annually of drugs into America across a non-guarded, non-existent border. I’ve traveled the 1,952 mile Mexican-American border three times to witness that it allows anyone at any time to enter the USA in thousands of unguarded locations. (Source: www.DrugAbuse.net)

Those drugs—heroin, cocaine, meth and more—addict and destroy countless American lives. Nixon’s 1971 “War on Drugs” proved itself the joke of the century. Too many people in DC benefit from that “war” by making a lot of money and being paid off to make sure it never succeeds. Whether it’s the career, corrupt politicians like John McCain, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Orrin Hatch, Charles Schumer, Harry Reid or Tom Delay (gone), none of them made any effort to enforce our borders during their ‘forever’ careers in Congress.

Cash transfers and the drug trade fund and fill the bank accounts of the highest Mexican officials. It’s their second highest revenue stream outside of oil.

Worse, all American officials from Congressional Representatives to Senators KNOW it’s been going on for 40 years. Many of them benefit from it; that’s why you don’t ever see them speaking up like Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) spoke 15 years ago and suffered the scourge of Congress and presidents.

In reality, money drives the under-the-table financial crimes that line the big leaders’ pockets. They’re so crooked and so entrenched; they know they cannot be touched. A few face prosecution like Tom Delay of Texas or Dennis Hastert, former Speaker of the House.

British Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

That’s why we need term limits for all government officials. Ten years maximum in the Senate and House. We need new ideas and thinkers, not old men and women who are out of touch with America. Does anyone think that 83-year-old Diane Feinstein knows what’s going on in America? Or, the troglodyte 80 year old John McCain? It’s absurd to allow them 40-year terms in office when they prove themselves unable or unwilling to serve the American people. Nancy Pelosi of California and Harry Reid of Nevada much the same!

They’re the ones that got us into this mess along with their career corrupt colleagues.

Given our $20,000,000,000,000.00 (trillion) debt, the wall appears to be a sound fiscal project. It would pay for itself inside of a year.

A wall-impregnable fence system would stop 500,000 illegal aliens from violating our borders annually. A wall-impregnable fence system would stop them. (Source: www.cis.org, Dr. Steve Camarata, “500,000 illegals cross border annually”)

It would also stop illegal alien costs across 15 federal agencies for education, medical care, food stamps, etc. at $113,000,000.00 (billion) annually. (Source: www.TheSocialContract.com, Costs of illegal immigration.)

According to www.DrugAbuse.net, by cutting off the drug trade with a guarded wall-fence, the Trump administration could prevent:

• The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) makes over 30,000 arrests each year related to the sales and distribution of illegal narcotics.
• Over 32 percent of all inmates in state prisons in the United States were either under the influence of drugs or in possession of drugs when arrested (that number is above 25 percent for federal prison inmates).
• Drug trafficking in Mexico is a business worth over $50 billion per year.
• It is believed that the loss of the drug trafficking industry in Mexico would cause that country’s economy to shrink by over 63 percent.
• 13 teens die every hour from drug and alcohol abuse in the USA.

Illicit drug use causes many forms of death in the United States, including suicide, homicide, motor-vehicle injury, HIV infection, violence, mental illness and hepatitis. Ironically, prescription drugs kill 105,000 Americans annually via adverse reactions as prescribed by medical doctors.

In other words, in the name of personal gain, your Congressional representatives from Congressmen-women to Senators refused to enforce our borders or our drug laws since 1971. The Drug War remains a standing joke, while top guns in high places make billions of dollars. Again, Mexico makes $50 billion annually.

The Drug War cost you, the taxpayer, trillions of dollars since 1971 and it’s imprisoned 37,000,000 (million) Americans for smoking a joint, shooting heroin or inhaling cocaine. But it’s hasn’t stopped anyone, ever, from using drugs. It’s a medical problem; not a criminal problem.

No wonder so many in high places pummeled Trump. He plans to upset their financial gravy train.

Should we spend American taxpayer dollars to build a wall-impregnable fence system?

Answer: what do you think? What makes sense to you? What makes sensible use of your tax dollars?

Our kids deserve drug-free starts in life. Our citizens deserve drug-free communities. Our citizens deserve jobs at living wages instead of 500,000 illegal aliens jumping our borders annually and stealing our employment for our adults and youths. Our citizens deserve to speak and hear English, not Spanish. Our citizens deserve to pay for their own babies, not pay for 350,000 “anchor babies” by pregnant illegal alien Mexican mothers that live on our dollars for the next 18 years.

We American citizens grow sick and tired of helping everyone else in the world while we do all the work and suffer all the debt. We’re sick of being abused by our own presidents and Congress.

Notwithstanding the rioters in the streets of major American cities who are attempting to create the chaotic conditions for a neo-Bolshevik take-over of the United States through a “purple color revolution” of the George Soros/Gene Sharp pattern, tens of millions of Americans are provisionally pleased with the election of Donald Trump to the Presidency. Only “provisionally pleased”, though, because even among his most ardent supporters no one can be certain of what he actually intends to do, or will in fact do, once he has been inaugurated.

The most important duty of any and every President is to fulfill the “Oath or Affirmation” that he “do[es] solemnly swear (or affirm) that [he] will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of [his] Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”. U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 7. To this end, he must rigorously perform his constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”, the Constitution being first and foremost among those “Laws”. U.S. Const. art. II, § 3. On his official website, Mr. Trump assures us that he will champion what he describes as “Second Amendment Rights”. Unfortunately, a careful reading of this declaration demonstrates deficiencies in his understanding of those “Rights” and their proper applications.

At this early stage, Mr. Trump can be excused for his somewhat naïve views on the Second Amendment, which he has apparently drawn from simplistic talking-points put out by the National Rifle Association. In the long run, though, he will need to develop a better comprehension of the Second Amendment (as well as other provisions of the Constitution related thereto) than he has exhibited to date, if he really intends as to fulfill his Presidential duty to “take Care that [the Second Amendment] be faithfully executed”.

1. Mr. Trump states that “[t]he Second Amendment is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.” It would have been preferable for him, in invoking the clarity of the Second Amendment, not to have added a word which does not appear there (“upon”). It would have been even more preferable for him to have quoted, not just the Amendment’s last fourteen words, but also the thirteen words which precede them: namely, “[a] well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State”. For those words encapsulate the true purpose of the Amendment, enabling anyone who cares to study American pre-constitutional law and history to comprehend the full meaning of the Amendment’s last fourteen words.

As I have written a little book on that subject—appropriately entitled Thirteen Words—I shall not burden the readers of this commentary with a repetition of what appears there. Neither shall I inundate my readers here with the huge amount of relevant pre-constitutional law and history which appears in my much more extensive work, The Sword and Sovereignty. At this juncture it is enough to point out that, although Mr. Trump is quite correct in asserting that “[t]he Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that belongs to all law-abiding Americans” and that “[t]he Constitution doesn’t create that right—it ensures that the government can’t take it away”, he slips into dangerous error when he posits that “the Second Amendment’s purpose is to guarantee our right to defend ourselves and our families. This is about self-defense, plain and simple.” The defense of individuals and their families—solely as individuals and families—is but a very small part of the constitutional picture. The Second Amendment’s true purpose is to guarantee Americans the right—and to insure for them the ability to perform the duty—to defend their communities, to the end of securing “a free State” at every level of the federal system throughout this country. Ultimately, the Second Amendment provides for the perpetuation of those “well regulated Militia” which it declares to be “necessary to the security of a free State”. Mere individuals and families—as isolated individuals and families—cannot possibly succeed through individual self-defense in thwarting the kinds of threats most likely to endanger “the security of a free State”.

Mr. Trump reminds his supporters that “[i]t’s been said that the Second Amendment is America’s first freedom”. (Actually, this is a slogan of the NRA, which even publishes a magazine under the title “The First Freedom”.) “That’s because”, Mr. Trump explains, “the Right to Keep and Bear Arms protects all our other rights.” Now, if Mr. Trump means that the Second Amendment “protects all our other rights”—from the Declaration of Independence through the Constitution and laws of the United States and the several States—because it secures “well regulated Militia” as integral and permanent parts of the federal system, with governmental authority in the hands of We the People themselves, he stands on solid constitutional ground.

I have written another little book on that very subject, entitled Three Rights, which those who are interested in the matter can consult at their leisure. But if Mr. Trump means that individual self-defense, exercised by isolated individuals, can “protect[ ] all our other rights”, he totters on quicksand. Exactly how can mere individuals and their families, armed for the sole purpose of self-defense as individuals and families—but without the necessary organization, training, discipline, and specifically governmental authority—possibly “protect[ ] all our other rights” (or any of them, for that matter) against usurpers and aspiring tyrants who can deploy well organized and highly armed bands of myrmidons to suppress those rights under the deceptive color of law? To be sure, usurpers and aspiring tyrants would much rather work their evil wills against unarmed Americans; but in the long run the suppression of recalcitrant but isolated individuals here and there would amount to a mere inconvenience, compared to what would be necessary, were it possible at all, to suppress “well regulated Militia” throughout the length and breadth of this country.

2. Mr. Trump correctly emphasizes that “[w]e need to get serious about prosecuting violent criminals”, particularly because “law-abiding gun owners” are “the ones who anti-gun politicians and the media blame when criminals misuse guns”. This, of course, is self-evident. If there were very few “criminals [who] misuse[d] guns”, because the certainty of harsh punishments deterred them from doing so, there would be little grist for the mills of “gun controllers” on that score.

Of more concern is Mr. Trump’s suggestion of

another important way to fight crime—empower law-abiding gun owners to defend themselves. Law enforcement is great, they do a tremendous job, but they can’t be everywhere all of the time. Our personal protection is ultimately up to us. That’s why I am a gun owner, that’s why I have a concealed carry permit, and that’s why tens of millions of Americans have concealed carry permits as well. It’s just common sense.

Unfortunately, Mr. Trump fails to employ some basic constitutional sense in his analysis of this situation.

Pace Mr. Trump, present-day “law enforcement” suffers from many serious deficiencies which demand correction. Even were that less of a problem than it is, unless Americans desired to live in a veritable police state they should not want professional police forces—composed as they generally are of individuals who envision themselves as separate and distinct from, and even superior to, the mere “civilians” whom they are supposed, but often neglect or fail, to “protect and serve”—to be “everywhere all of the time”. This country already suffers from too much of a burgeoning police state, since the 9-11 Event rationalized seemingly endless inroads on the Bill of Rights.

Yet Mr. Trump is correct to observe that, because the inadequate “law enforcement” from which America suffers today cannot “be everywhere at once”, “[o]ur personal protection is ultimately up to us”, particularly (I should add) if Americans really want to maintain “the security of a free State” rather than groan under the oppression of a police state. The Founding Fathers knew this perfectly well. They were also aware that “personal protection”, let alone protection of the community, could not be achieved by individuals acting alone, without the benefit of specific governmental authority beyond the natural law of self-defense (and various old common-law doctrines of citizens’ arrest which expose to all sorts of nasty legal tangles modern-day individuals who attempt to act in reliance upon them). That is why the Founders explicitly enumerated, as the very first constitutional authority and responsibility of the Militia, the power “to execute the Laws of the Union” (and of their own States as well, the Militia being “the Militia of the several States”). U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cl. 15 and art. II, § 2, cl. 1.

Revitalization of the Militia would make tens (and even hundreds) of thousands of additional personnel available to perform various law-enforcement functions—personnel drawn directly from the body of the people themselves in their own Local communities, whose sympathies were fully aligned with those communities’ best interests, rather than the contrary interests of aloof politicians and bureaucrats in distant State capitals or (worse yet) the District of Columbia. Even in such hothouses of violent street crime as America’s major cities—all too many of which impose strict “gun controls” on ordinary Americans while proving thoroughly incapable of cracking down on lawbreakers even with professional police forces at their disposal—the very presence of the Militia on the streets would impose a wide-ranging deterrent effect on criminal elements. (I cannot expand here upon how service in the Militia would also re-educate and discipline youth now entangled in street gangs and other anti-social activities because the present-day system of faux “public education” has utterly failed to civilize and socialize them. But that beneficial effect should be obvious to anyone who considered the matter.)

Even more important, revitalization of the Militia would enable a truly patriotic and constitutionalist President to fulfill his duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” against political criminals throughout the federal system, especially in the District of Columbia. As an example, I commend to my readers’ close attention my commentary “The 9-11 Event, the President, and the Militia”, to be found at www.edwinvieira.com.

3. Mr. Trump correctly points out that many of “the tragic mass murders that occurred in the past several years” can be traced to the fact that “[o]ur mental health system is broken”, and that “this matter[s] to law-abiding gun owners * * * because they get blamed by anti-gun politicians, gun control groups and the media for the acts of deranged madmen”. Although this is true as a generality, it misses two specific points:

First, the genesis of many of these “tragic mass murders” can be traced to mind-altering drugs produced by the pharmaceutical industry and prescribed by mental-health professionals which and who are seemingly oblivious to the dangers involved in pushing these substances as panaceas for patients with real mental-health problems, when all too often these drugs may exacerbate those problems by rendering many of those people (as Mr. Trump rightly worries) “violent, a danger to themselves or others”. Much needs to be done to investigate the effects of these drugs and to control their use (if such use is allowed at all)—work that the FDA has refused to undertake in anything like a satisfactory manner.

Second, in the wrong hands the mantra of “mental health” can provide fertile rationalizations for the kinds of “gun control” which Mr. Trump doubtlessly opposes. If the present-day clique of “mental-health professionals” who support “gun control” were allowed to define “mental illness” for the purpose of disarming Americans who supposedly suffered from what these practitioners might claim were forms of “mental illness”, few (if any) common Americans would be allowed to remain armed. Americans cannot afford to relinquish “the security of a free State” to those “mental-health professionals” who are intent on camouflaging their “politically correct” ideologies in the garb and jargon of medical science.

4. Mr. Trump also correctly points out that “[g]un and magazine bans are a total failure. * * * Law-abiding people should be allowed to own the firearms of their choice. The government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own.” Actually, to ensure “the security of a free State” governments should require “good, honest people [other than conscientious objectors] * * * to own” at least the types of firearms—including, in particular, what Mr. Trump describes as “‘assault weapons’, ‘military-style weapons’, and ‘high capacity magazines’”—which are peculiarly suited for service in the Militia. Indeed, this is within both the explicit power of Congress “to provide for * * * arming * * * the Militia” when they are “employed in the Service of the United States”, and the reserved power of the States when the Militia are employed in specifically State service. See U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cls. 15 and 16; and amends. II and X. Obviously, if Congress and the States provided for arming the Militia in the manner in which the Militia should be armed, every law-abiding and able-bodied American from sixteen years of age upwards who was not a conscientious objector would be armed and properly trained with the very firearms that “gun controllers” were most intent on outlawing, as well as many of those Americans potentially being in possession of every other type of firearm which could possibly be useful for the performance of any conceivable type of Militia duty.

5. Mr. Trump correctly observes that “we don’t need to * * * expand a broken system [of background checks]”—particularly, I presume, in the manner in which rogue public officials in States such as Washington are now employing wildly excessive “background checks” as a means of harassing law-abiding American gun owners. What he apparently does not understand is that, were the Militia revitalized, this country would benefit from a far more comprehensive and rigorous arrangement of “background checks” than could possibly be obtained through the present-day system derived from the flawed “Brady Bill” or anything akin to it. Inasmuch as every able-bodied adult living in each Locality would be required to serve in some capacity in the Militia, the Militia would be able to identify everyone who should be disallowed from possessing firearms—including criminals, illegal aliens, those with real mental-health problems, and so on. We the People themselves would conduct essentially permanent, on-going “background checks” on themselves in order to ensure “the security of a free State” for themselves, in aid of the Constitution’s purpose to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”. U.S. Const. preamble. If We the People cannot be entrusted with this responsibility, no one can.

6. Mr. Trump supports a “national right to carry” law, because (as he quite correctly states) “[t]he right of self-defense doesn’t stop at the end of your driveway”. One may doubt that such a law could be enacted pursuant to Congress’s power “[t]o regulate Commerce * * * among the several States” in Article I, Section 8, Clause 3; or under Article IV, Section 1 or 2 of the Constitution. But it surely could be enacted under Congress’s power “to provide for * * * arming * * * the Militia” in Article I, Section 8, Clause 15 and the Supremacy Clause in Article VI, Clause 2. And as this right (and duty) would be a matter of internal discipline within the Militia, “gun controllers” within the Judiciary would be powerless to interfere with its enforcement. See Gilligan v. Morgan, 413 U.S. 1, 5-12 (1973).

7. Finally, Mr. Trump rightly excoriates as “ridiculous” the present regulations “[b]anning our military from carrying firearms on bases and at recruiting stations”. As the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States”, he could put paid to such regulations immediately upon his inauguration. See U.S. Const. art. II, § 2, cl. 1. In addition, he would do well to discipline those misguided officers of the Armed Forces responsible for this utterly absurd state of affairs.

In sum, it seems that with respect to the Second Amendment Mr. Trump’s heart is in the right place, and his intuition is basically sound. Now he simply needs to think through these matters in a more rigorously constitutional fashion, and then to act upon the insights that such a study will surely impart to him.

Social Emotional Learning in an Era of Entitlement

The National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health reports that one in five American children experiences social, emotional, and/or behavioral challenges. In the wake of America’s 2016 Presidential election, this statistic presumably spiraled as tearful youth showed themselves unable to cope with the outcome of our democratic process. Widespread meltdown inflicted adult counterparts who fared no better.[1] Defeat simply was not acceptable.[2]

Weak-in-the-knee response stands in stark contrast to the rugged individualism modeled in the Old West. Charles Portis’ novel, True Grit (1968), recounts a perilous wilderness journey undertaken by a tenacious 14-year-old girl. Seeking the murderer of her father, Mattie gains respect of the toughest deputy US Marshal whom, for his true grit, she recruits to help get the job done. In the face of grievous loss and severe hardship, Mattie remains tough as nails.[3] Rather than sulk or wither in defeat, she maintains keen focus and, when thwarted, courageously doubles her efforts.[4]

Not so in post-election America. More akin to Chicken Little, bummed kids have given way to depression, fear, and anxiety as if they’d heard too many scary bedtime tales of some terrifying Orange Monster, who swallowed sixteen lesser monsters in order to grasp rule of the kingdom.[5] No doubt kids’ responses mirror reactions of their parents and teachers.[6] Few among us escape the dogged drama of what Gregory Johnson calls “a myopic, cult-like sectarian, neo-liberal cocoon of copy-and-paste journalism.”[7]

It’s no wonder a Washington, D.C. clinical psychologist told The Atlantic that his clients are showing higher levels of dismay over the election outcome than what he’d previously observed in 25 years of practice. NBC news reported that Democratic staffers were so distraught that “therapy dogs,” including two golden doodles, were brought to Capitol Hill to help the bereaved cope with reality.[8]

The Therapeutic Classroom

To soften knowledge that, indeed, the sky is falling, educators at all levels pull out all stops by extending recess periods, offering yoga, meditation, and mindfulness work (K-8).[9] It is undetermined how many youngsters have even the faintest grasp of issues at stake, but no matter. Teachers dutifully create exercises (brainstorming, roleplaying, and listening circles) designed to help youngsters work through their presumed grief. Doing so, educators emphasize “soft skills,” such as being introspective and reflective—hardly the stuff of rigorous classical education. But I digress.

In a district-wide letter to teachers and parents, Boston Superintendent Tommy Chang offered students and staff a gaggle of counselors to assuage their seemingly inconsolable heartache. Chang tweeted, “Students, we [heart-emoji] you. You are intelligent and beautiful. We are here for you today and always. Please share your feelings today.”[10]

Coddled Campus Crybabies

Immediately following the election, college campus crybabies were equally coddled. Students at Cornell University staged a “cry-in,” and Yale University officials helped students vent their “internalized stress” by hosting a “group scream.” One Professor at Palo Alto University led post-election “Whine and Wine” group therapy, and free hugs accompanied community speak-outs. Troubled Yale students were excused from midterm examinations, and Berkeley students walked out of classes.[11] Lesson learned: Life’s obligations take back seat to one’s feelings.[12]

Other US campuses organized therapeutic poetry readings. Distraught pupils were ushered into binky optional nap- and crying- rooms equipped with adult coloring books, play dough, and healthy snacks. The University of Kansas provided the comfort of therapy dogs; others served cookies, tea and/or hot chocolate.[13]

As a reminder that “people matter,” the Princeton Public Library created a blank wall for Post-it messages, and the William F. Laman Public Library in North Little Rock, Arkansas, created tear-off posters with individual messages of encouragement to reinforce how “awesome” kids are. Students at the University of Iowa were blitzed with handwritten condolence signage.[14]

“Yes!” to Tantrums (Acts of Defiance, Even Civil Disobedience)

Elite New York schools turned a blind eye to violent, anti-Trump protests and walk outs, staged by disgruntled youth and fostered by adult enablers. To spare delicate sensibilities of staff and students, college campuses censored Trump signs and slogans, deemed unnecessarily unsettling to bereaved liberals; and some schools tolerated “F— Trump” Protests. At the University of Texas, representatives of the local Communist Party were permitted to march openly with khaffia-wearing pro-Palestinian groups; however, in the name of peace and harmony, conservative voices were restricted on the University of Rochester campus.[15] Why? Right-leaning messages might crush an already fragile student body refusing to acknowledge Trump as their President Elect.

Dog-Whistle Politics and Sexism

The Presidential election offers a perfect venue for students to cultivate flexibility and true grit by accepting what they cannot change, sorting fact from fiction, and making the most of disappointment, but: Rather than review and applaud America’s election process, rather than guide students to accept defeat, educators instead resorted to excessive coddling, all the while decrying dog-whistle politics and sexism.[16] Using tweets, a video, and a poster, students examined policy goals of the Black Lives Matter Movement.”[17] Another classroom activity included creating a timeline for protests against racial injustice and police killings, as initiated by NFL quarterback, Colin Kaepernick.[18]

SEL to the Rescue

Most agree that the staggering pace and ever escalating intensity of 21st century life warrants special attention. Healthy coping requires a unique skill set, hopefully nourished and reinforced early on in the home and at school. That said parents are best equipped to discern and capitalize on unique distinctions of their own child’s psyche, temperament, sensibilities, and the like.[19] Accordingly, a perceptive parent intervenes to shape his child’s character, set behavioral standards, affirm good choices and, when necessary, correct poor ones—always in a manner consistent with the child’s age, gender, and emotional constitution. Unfortunately, too many parents have absconded this role in deference to organs of the Nanny State.

Traditionally, competition, honest evaluation and correction, a deserved “atta’ boy,” and encouragement to “buck up” went a long way toward establishing what today is called “emotional intelligence.” It’s thought that grasp of how words, actions, facial expressions, and body language affect relationships measures one’s “emotional intelligence.”[20]

Today’s version of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) claims to teach skills for setting personal goals aimed at working well with others, feeling sympathy/empathy, identifying problems and, while making ethical choices, initiating help-seeking and help-giving behaviors.[21]

This is all well and good, but my questions are these: How are social-emotional benchmark objectives working for kids? Is cooperating with others really accomplished by staging walkouts? Must the focus of sympathy/empathy favor a limited subset of likeminded people? Do political pundits and mainstream media anchors reflect, or instead set, universal behavioral standards? How age appropriate are help-seeking and help-giving behaviors that promote university level “cry-ins” and “group screams”? Lastly, what “ethical” choices rightly affirm “F— Trump” protests and censorship?

Research has shown that learning from failure is a key to success, but it would appear that, unless ascribed to an opponent, failure is no longer an option. Rather than deal with reality, students learn that defeat and disappointment are to be coddled and/or acted out in temper tantrums. In a word, “true grit” is passé. To that, I say, “Come on, America! We can do better than this.”[22]

What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?

It is not happy people who are thankful, it is thankful people who are happy.

Thanksgiving has been celebrated off and on since 1789, after a proclamation by President George Washington. Abraham Lincoln made it a federal holiday in 1863 for the last Thursday in November. In 1939, Franklin Roosevelt declared the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving, rather than the last Thursday, because sometimes November has five Thursdays. Thanksgiving and Christmas are part of the broad holiday season. 

I always think of Norman Rockwell’s famous painting, “Freedom From Want,” when Thanksgiving is upon us. How blessed we have been! And how often we forget how blessed we still are! 

Giving Thanks 

As for me and mine, this Thanksgiving and Christmas will be one of great joy. Our nation has a reprieve, and a new leader, and he’s already off to a great start. But this article is not about our new President, it’s about all of us and how blessed we truly are.

Here I sit in front of my computer, in a warm, comfortable home, the dryer is running with a load of clothes, the dogs are sleeping at my feet, and my sweetheart is on the phone with one of our old friends. What a blessing! Thank you, Lord!

I’ll go to bed tonight in comfort with pillows and blankets, and Lord willing, sleep soundly. While I sleep, the dishwasher runs, and they’ll all be clean and dry in the morning. I’ll wake up tomorrow to a great breakfast, a hot bath, and hopefully some rain because we’re in a drought with fires all around us. What a blessing! Thank you, Lord!

With a flip of a switch, there are lights in the dark, there’s a song on the radio, there’s a friend or family member on the phone. What a blessing! Thank you, Lord!

Giving Thanks is Good for Us

Feeling and expressing appreciation is good for us. Like any wise father, God wants us to learn to be thankful for all the gifts He has given us (James 1:1-7). It is in our best interest to be reminded that everything we have is a gift from Him. Without gratefulness, we become arrogant and self-centered. We begin to believe that we have achieved everything on our own. Thankfulness keeps our hearts in a right relationship to the Giver of all good gifts. Psalm 138, “I thank you Lord with all my heart.”

Giving thanks also reminds us of how much we do have. Human beings are prone to covetousness. We tend to focus on what we don’t have. By giving thanks continually we are reminded of how much we do have. When we focus on blessings rather than wants, we are happier. When we start thanking God for the things we usually take for granted, our perspective changes. We realize that we could not even exist without the merciful blessings of God. And count that all joy!

Family and Friends

Many families live far apart today, and there is travel to be home with loved ones. What a blessing to gather with those you love. I remember well the many long rides to my grandparents’ farm in northern Indiana. What a thrill it was to be with all my wonderful family. Cherish these blessed times, for too soon they become fond memories. Thank you, Lord!

Holy Days

This season is my favorite time of year, even though it’s so very busy. Remember to stop with the hustle and bustle, and to thank God for all He has given to us. The joy overflows when you just list the many wonderful things we have. Smile at everyone, you never know what that smile will do for someone else.

I wish you all a most wonderful and blessed Holy Season, one filled with joy, love, and above all, thanksgiving to our Creator for the bountiful blessings we enjoy every day. 

Thank you, Lord!

I am happy to report that the highly prized FREEDOM DOCUMENTS are now available. Many people greatly anticipate this fall printing of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS so they can purchase them as Christmas gifts. Here’s how it all came about.

A few years ago, I sadly discovered that it was next to impossible to find our nation’s great historical documents compiled in one volume, so we decided to fix that problem. It took us a full year to research and compile over 50 of our country’s greatest historical documents, but we did it.

Now you can have these great documents at your fingertips in one beautifully bound, easy-to-read format. These are the documents that gave birth to the greatest free nation on earth. Nowhere else that we know of can you find these documents complete in one volume under one title. We call this magnificent collection THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. This compilation of documents is available only via Chuck Baldwin Live. Our supply is very limited and will not last long.

This is the great compilation of historical documents that presidential candidate and former Texas Congressman Ron Paul has in his possession–as does Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore. The Tennessee State Supreme Court also ordered several copies. Pastors, teachers, high school and college students, law and history students, and homeschoolers have found THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS immensely valuable to the study of American history and civics.

Included in this remarkable volume are documents such as The Mayflower Compact, The First Thanksgiving Proclamation, the complete text of Patrick Henry’s immortal “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech, The Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms, The Northwest Ordinance of 1787, George Washington’s Farewell Address, Ronald Reagan’s First and Second Inaugural Addresses, and so on.

We have also included several letters written between John and Abigail Adams. Do you remember the poem about Paul Revere’s ride? Well it, too, is included in this compilation. Also included is the letter written from within the Alamo by William Barret Travis to the people of Texas. Of course, the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights are also there.

This giant compilation includes more than 50 documents, over 170 full-sized pages complete with a spiral ring binding for easy copying and a professionally designed color cover. This volume is must-reading for every American patriot. For the price of a couple of good pizzas, you can have the great documents of American history delivered to your door.

The price is $35 for a single copy, or $25 each if you purchase two or more, plus a $5 shipping fee for each book. Example: if you order two books, the total price is $60. (The shipping cost might be more for books delivered outside the continental United States.) Simply mail your check or money order to:

Chuck Baldwin Live
P.O. Box 10
Kila, MT 59920

We also take credit cards. Obviously, this is the fastest way to obtain your copy of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. To order by credit card online or to learn more about THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.

In spite of rising packaging and shipping costs, we are maintaining THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS’ current low price again this year.

Former Constitution Party Presidential candidate, the late Howard Phillips, said, “THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS is must-reading for every American. It is essential that this volume be placed in every home in the country. I read my copy daily. We require our homeschooled children to study THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.”

Do not look for this volume in stores; it can only be purchased here. A retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel thought he could find a volume containing these documents by simply going to the Internet. After searching several days without success, he ordered two copies of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. He called my office and said, “Tell Chuck he’s right. You can’t find these documents anywhere else in one volume. I tried.”

Here are some other personal testimonials of people who have purchased THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS:

“I’m ordering one for me and one for our local library.” -GP, Kaunakakai, HI

“I really appreciate Chuck for putting this together!! I’m sending copies to my two different sets of homeschooled grandchildren.” -DH, Lewisville, Texas

“I’m looking forward to sending one of these to each of our seven children.” -JN, Post Falls, Idaho

“Thank you for putting this together. Should be required reading for all high school students. We can’t wait to get it!” -CB, Laurinburg, North Carolina

“I’ve been stressing the importance of our Constitution and Bill of Rights to my children, and this is a treasured gift that’s worth more than money can buy.” -BT, Granbury, Texas

“I have just started homeschooling my 12-year-old, and this is a perfect resource!” -SM, Redlands, California

“Thank You for putting this awesome collection of historic documents together.” -CB, Pendleton, Indiana

“Thank you, Dr. Baldwin, for compiling this fantastic collection of documents. I have purchased copies for our children, copies for our closest friends and copies for the children of our closest friends. Again, thank you! Besides the Bible, this is the best book I have read in a long time.” -RK, Austin, Texas

“I ordered several last year and gave as Christmas gifts. THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS are amazing! Thank you!” -DW, Smithfield, Kentucky

“You will be most happy to know that this morning THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS arrived. I went into raptures. I cherish my FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. Thank you, Pastor Chuck, for getting it into one binding and making it possible to hold such priceless documents for what is really a frugal price.” -John, Queensland, Australia

“We bought your FREEDOM DOCUMENTS and gave them away as presents to our children and others. They are great, and it is wonderful to have them all in one volume. They will be used to teach our children from kindergarten through twelfth grade and beyond.” -MS, Hillsdale, Michigan

“I have begun reading through my copy of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. I must admit, I was somewhat skeptical of the price before purchase, but now that I am reading it, I understand what a bargain it is! Priceless!” -KT, Massachusetts

“THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS could save our country, if we can get enough people to order it.” -WS, Mansfield, Texas

“I just wanted to say that I received my order and they are great! This is by far the best collection I have seen. I am a disabled Vet and would like to order 5 more to send to my children.” -GB, Oakhurst, Oklahoma

“Good job. I’ll give my extra copy to my old high school.” -RM, Fargo, North Dakota

“I am a deacon in our church and hope to use these books as teaching aids. Please send four copies.” -SO, Ocala, Florida

I believe you will be just as pleased to receive your copy of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS as were these folks.

Again, here is the link to order THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS

Notice how many people are ordering THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS for their children and grandchildren. This is for good reason. We know the public schools stopped educating students regarding real American history decades ago. And, sadly, most private, parochial, and Christian schools do not teach much U.S. history either–especially when it comes to the content of these great documents. The unfortunate reality is, if most young people do not obtain THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS, they will grow into adulthood having never read the vast majority of these wonderful historical documents. I remember being required to study some of these great documents in public school when I was a youngster. But those days are long gone!

More than one person has told me that once they started reading THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS they could not stop. They have told me that as they read these great documents the feeling of national pride and patriotism swelled in their hearts like never before. These documents will truly inspire (or re-inspire) the great feeling of American patriotism like little else will. And why not? These are the documents that came from the minds and hearts of the great men and women who birthed and built this wonderful country. I am sure that the Spirit of ’76 will swell in your heart, too, as you read THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.

Remember, this is a special, limited Christmas printing and will not last long. Plus, a delay in ordering may result in the books not arriving before Christmas. So order now!

Today I am also thankful for the good done by people not just here in the U.S., but in joint efforts like this first story. Every morning the first web site I click on is www.theanimalrescuesite.com Each time you click the link on the front page it provides a small portion of food for dogs, cats and projects for critters around the world.

Earlier this year they highlighted a massive project that needed donations. It was way cool! The largest ever rescue and transfer of thirty-three lions rescued from circuses in Peru and Columbia and re-located to South Africa. My, God, the torture they endured is beyond cruel. Their captors starved them, broke their teeth and took out their claws. Some of them had never stepped on grass in their lifetime.

There seems to be needless concern over Article V, the amending clause of the U.S. Constitution. Both friend and foe of the Constitution complain that, while the Founding Fathers gave the people a way to initiate the convention process, they dropped the ball by failing to establish procedures and regulations for the convention itself.

Was the omission of regulations a mistake? No. Article V is wisely, purposely, and deliberately vague. Those who complain that our founders left Article V strangely incomplete, fail to understand the most fundamental principle of a free and sovereign people.

Constitutional conventions are the government-making systems of free citizens. Conventions are sovereign assemblies. They comprise all power, including the power to establish the agenda, the rules, the regulations, the ratifying method, and all procedures by which the people might create, modify, or abolish their government. The convention system is the concentration of sovereign power by which “WE THE PEOPLE….[did] ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Why does Article V lack instructions for future conventions? — because no sitting convention can dictate to the next convention. The 1787 Convention could not make regulations for the next convention because the next convention would be just a sovereign as the first Convention — just as free to make its own rules as was the Convention at Philadelphia in 1787. For that reason Article V is purposely, deliberately, and brilliantly vague.

The following is found in the Records of the Federal Convention of 1787:

Mr. Madison did not see why Congress would not be as much bound to propose amendments applied for by two-thirds of the States as to call a Convention on the like application. He saw no objection however against providing a Convention for the purpose of amendments, except only that difficulties might arise as to the form, the quorum, and etc. which in Constitutional regulations ought to be as much as possible avoided. (author’s emphasis)

Why, despite foreseeable difficulties, should constitutional regulations be avoided? — because, as we have already noted, today’s convention cannot establish procedures for tomorrow’s convention. For that reason Article V requires the state legislatures only to apply, only to initiate the convention process. Article V provides no instructions regarding the form, the quorum, or regulations regarding the control of the convention which the state is simply asking Congress to call. The reason for this is simple: State legislatures have only the statutory power granted by their state constitutions; they have no structural authority, no government-making power.

As a general rule, when one principle is understood, it casts a little light on related principles. For example: State legislatures are not greater than their creators. This principle was affirmed during the 1787 Convention while the deputies were considering resolutions on who should ratify the new plan.

The record states:

Col. Mason considered a reference of the plan to the authority of the people as one of the most important and essential of the Resolutions. The Legislatures have no power to ratify it. They are the mere creatures of the State Constitutions, and cannot be greater than their creators…. Whither then must we resort? To the people with whom all power remains that has not been given up in the Constitutions derived from them. It was of great moment he observed that this doctrine should be cherished as the basis of free Government.

During that same discussion (July 23) James Madison made a similar observation:

Mr. Madison thought it clear that the Legislatures were incompetent to the proposed changes. These changes would make essential inroads on the State constitutions, and it would be a novel and dangerous doctrine that a Legislature could change the constitution under which it held its existence.

The basis of free government is that neither the legislature nor the Congress can determine the power and scope of the Constitution to which they owe their existence. A system under which lawmakers determine the limits of their power is the definition of a dictatorship. The doctrine that legislatures were not qualified to legislate changes in the constitutions under which they serve, was well-established at the founding of our country.

Today’s state legislators who seek to bring about a “limited” convention ignore the fact that during the first 100 years of American history all state applications for a convention were brilliantly vague — purposely absent even the subject for which the convention had been called.

A constitutional convention is not “simply an extension of the state legislature.” This widely asserted idea is a corruption of the authority of a free and sovereign people. Only the people have government-making and government-modifying authority. A state legislator has only the powers delegated to him by his state constitution, which most assuredly excludes the power to regulate a constitutional convention, or make rules for a “convention of states,” or to run an “Article V convention,” or to exercise structural authority in any form or under any pretext.

A state’s application for a convention that does anything more than initiate the convention process, as required by Article V, amounts to a usurpation of the authority of the people who alone have power to set the terms and determine the scope of their convention. Government is nothing more than the creature and cannot be greater than its creator.

Most current applications for a convention contain rules, regulations, and limitations on the purpose and scope of the requested convention. The “limitation language” in these bills is calculated to allay the very real concerns of state legislators who have been reluctant to support the uncharted road to a modern convention.

In addition to illegal (completely unenforceable) limitations contained in the state resolutions, the convention lobby is pushing “delegate responsibility” bills that impose severe penalties on convention delegates who might stray into constitutional changes not specifically authorized by the state’s resolution. It would be hard to find a more serious violation of the doctrine of civilian sovereignty than is found in such bills. Convention limitation bills, in any form, constitute the “novel and dangerous doctrine” of which James Madison has spoken.

It is a curious thing that after 227 years the convention lobby has “just discovered” that state legislatures have an amazing array of powers unknown to America’s Founding Fathers. And it is equally curious that the convention lobby ignores the authority of a sovereign people which in 1787 was “cherished as the basis of free government.”

Dawn was breaking over the Circle P in Western Wyoming. The Sun had just barely broken above the East horizon and the growing light cast an eerie pinkish glow on the Grand Tetons. A few puffy clouds lingered at the top of the peaks but would soon disappear from the Sun’s rising heat. The sky was not yet blue. The deciduous trees on the hillside had already turned to several shades of yellow and orange but appeared in dark tones because of the early morning light. Winter was just around the corner.

The valley below the ranch house was still shrouded in a low ground fog. A horse’s rump and head without any legs and a hundred fence-post tops in a row appeared above the fog, like a pastel picture only half painted.

John Pantrell stretched his arms into the air as he drank in the morning scene from the picture window of their ranch house. As he slowly lowered his arms, Jenny, John’s wife, still in her robe, snuggled under one of his arms in a sideways hug and shared the beauty of the new day that was just now presenting itself to the Pantrell’s of Wyoming. John and Jenny could but linger for a short while in the rapture of the moment. There was much work to be done before the Sun would set again on the Circle P. Jenny broke away from their hug to wake up their two children and then headed for the kitchen. John started towards the bathroom to shave and get dressed.

John was a fifth generation Wyoming rancher. He had inherited their eleven hundred-acre cattle ranch from a long-line of independent, self-reliant, tough pioneer stock Pantrells, born and bred from the days of the old West. John and Jenny met in high school and a loving bond between them was forged almost instantly. Jenny was the daughter of another long-time Wyoming rancher. Both were the product of the American free spirit, who daily stared adversity in the face and pressed forward, no matter what was in their way.

White smoke was already billowing from the stack on the bunkhouse. The cowboys of the Circle P were getting ready for a long day in the saddle. A good portion of the herd was in the upper pastures and had to be brought down to the lower valley. The upper pastures would soon be covered in several feet of snow and they could lose part of the herd should they delay the drive much longer. And there were still some calves that needed branding.

Not one person on the Circle P was giving any thought to what was going on in the Capitol of Wyoming, much less Washington DC. There was a job to be done, a nation to be fed and no one in either Capitol would or could help John and Jenny with that job. If anything, the people in those capitols, with their “finger” on the legislative and regulation trigger, could only make John and Jenny’s job that much harder because of the draconian laws and regulations they have or would pass, laws that only affected rural landowners and the food producers of America. Each law and regulation these arrogant “suits” passed, only drove the cost of food higher and made it more difficult for the independent farmers and ranchers to stay in business.

If the truth was known, most of the farmers and ranchers of America despise politicians and government. They don’t want or need government help. They just want to be left alone, like millions of other Americans.

John and Jenny have to rely on their skill, accumulated experience, knowledge and inherited wisdom and they can only hope that will be enough to save them from the ravages of what Mother Nature can throw at them, without warning, at any time. Hot dry spells, gully washers, wind storms, long snowy winters, pest infections and low crop yields were and are, an annual reality ….. anyone of which could wipe out the meager profits they hoped to achieve each year ….. anyone of which could make it difficult to pay the bank loans they take out between crop and herd payoffs.

The characteristics bred into the John’s and Jenny’s of Wyoming, living free, along with all the other men and women in all the states who feed this nation, are the backbone of her soul. They are the front line against the raw fury of the weather and the land that try to thwart these brave Americans from completing the vital work they do. When they lose, they endure. When they win, they share.

These people don’t have to be plucked off of rooftops after a blizzard, a windstorm, or a tornado by government. If in trouble they help each other. If one is down, the others come to their rescue. When times are good, they celebrate. When times are bad, they get to work. That stark contrast between good times and bad times forges a kind of American that is strong, resilient, self-reliant and fiercely independent, like the Americans of yesteryear.

All other Americans, along with millions of men, women and children around the world, owe their very lives to the inherited strength and perseverance of American men and women, like John and Jenny, who choose to challenge nature and extract from it the sustenance, without which none of us could live.

True Americans live in all of the Western States, not just Wyoming. But it is the hard, tough, independent countenance of those who choose to live out their lives on the high plateau or valleys of a wild land that put food on our tables. They carry the scars of battle with nature and proudly wear the badge of liberty at any cost. This stalwart character is the backbone of those brave Americans who choose to challenge the land, the weather and the government to grow the food and the livestock that feed us all. This being Thanksgiving week, each of us owes a debt of gratitude and thanks to the farmers and ranchers of America for the plentiful bounty on our tables.

Like many Americans who make their living from the land, the Pantells thought they could live their lives without interference from their government as the Constitution promises, but they were wrong. John and Jenny and every landowner in America must face that intractable enemy government, “who erect a multitude of new offices and send hither swarms of officers to harass us and eat out our substance.” (See “I Must Keep Running”)

Unfortunately, the government and the environmentalists will not leave them alone. But then, could a bunch of educated idiots, dressed in dark suits, in a far off city, inhabited by a crowd of dependent free loaders, be any tougher to tackle than what Mother Nature has been throwing at them for their entire lives?

Should American ranchers and farmers collectively turn their attention away from the weather and the land for awhile, and towards the government that now haunts them, the government would be wise to put their ears to the ground and listen for the hoof beats of an angry four horsemen. (See “Session or War – American West Against the East”)

Like most of the seventeen Western States, strong individuals inhabit the state of Wyoming, individuals that are imbued with an indomitable spirit, a spirit forged from adversity. Over 70% of the people in all but one county in Wyoming, voted for Trump. Only 22% voted for Hillary Clinton and those 22% came from the government workers that manage Yellowstone National Park in Teton County.

In fact, most of the Western States, all the way up to the Pacific coast mountain range, voted for Trump. There are exceptions of course in those states with a large illegal alien and Latino population in the big cities of New Mexico and Colorado, or those who smoke pot.

But cross over that mountain range to the coastal cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle and you will find a cesspool of government dependency and an ingrained Progressive-Liberal-Democrat half-stoned mentality. They are the ones that want legalized marijuana, government handouts, $15.00 minimum wages, free health care, free college tuition and sanctuary cities. They don’t care who has to pay for those handouts or the illegal aliens and in their minds they believe the handouts are their “unalienable” right. These big-city coastal inhabitants in the West are the ones who voted for socialists Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. (See: “Big Cities Spawn Corrupt Socialists Like Hillary Clinton”)

Sadly, there are more people who live in dependent big cities than those that live on the land. If they all voted, and one day they will, American will become a third-world socialist nation and there isn’t one thing that rural America can do to stop it ….. except stop producing the food the big cities consume. Farmers and ranchers literally hold the power of life and death in their callused hands. One day they may have to use that power. If collectively, the agricultural and livestock producers of America withheld production for just one week, they could bring America to its knees.

America’s “fly-over country” gives this warning to all politicians and bureaucrats who mistakenly believe that they are the aristocrats that have the divine, royal right and full legal authority to rule us. Whether it be the ranchers and farmers of the Western states, or the patriots who live urban or rural, millions of people, like the Wyoming Pantells, came for you on the night of November 8, 2016 to explain to you that you ARE NOT the law, nor are you ABOVE the law and your temporary authority comes from the states and the people.

We told you that your corruption, double-dealing and backroom shenanigans would not stand. We told you that we would not accept a hopelessly corrupt, pathological liar to become president of the United States, even if she is a woman. We told you that a sovereign America comes first. We told you that we will seal America’s borders and deport the illegal alien law breakers among us. We told you that this business-as-usual in a Progressive-socialist, one-world-order you have been trying to create can be broken up and sent to the scrap heap. And further, we told you that you are obligated to abide by the Constitution to which you swear on solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend, so help you God. We intend to hold you to that oath.

While we still are a free nation (sort of) American farmers and ranchers are in for a rough ride from local, state and federal bureaucracies and environmentalists. A President Trump may try to bring some relief but he can’t fix all of what ails landowners overnight, or even in a four-year term. Nevertheless, it isn’t time to throw in the towel yet.

There are tools landowners can use to make that ride a little smoother. They can hold government at bay, confuse them, or stop them in their tracks with the right tools. As advocates for all American rural landowners for over 10 years, from Florida to Alaska, we have developed some of those effective tools. They can be found on our two websites. For rural landowners click HERE and for rural and urban dwellers click HERE. If you are a rural landowner, or even an urban dweller, you owe to it to yourself to check out these websites and gain the knowledge that can slow government down, hold them at bay, confuse them, or even stop them in their tracks, when they come calling. We know. We and other Americans have used these legal tools and have thwarted government actions with targeted resistance and without a high-paid lawyer.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Our story about the Pantells of Wyoming is fictional, however the strong message of self-reliance, independence and freedom it delivers, is not.

“The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.” –Dietrich Bonhoeffer

This week, young protesters were surrounding police cars in an attempt to free rioters who were being arrested for breaking the law. I know the media backed (bought and paid for) rioting taking place is in many cases the voice of the unheard, yet that is not what we are dealing with in this country. We are dealing with those who are illegal, unruly and unworthy to even be a part of this country.

Many of these little communists simply want to rule the roost by being the law, when they do not know the law (1 Timothy 1:7). They simply want to be a law unto themselves (Acts 23:3).

Furthermore, I have warned that the likes of Barack Hussein Obama, who is continuously adding gas to the fires that he has incited, emulating the tyrant and dictator, Mao Tse-Tung. Mao, in his state of rebellion, overthrew the Republic of China by reaching into the younger generations, and teaching them that they were a democracy, only to take from the have’s and give to the have-nots.

These protesters are the young people who have been given to a federal government to illegally indoctrinate them through No Child Left Behind, Common Core, and international baccalaureate. Seven hundred thousand of these students can’t even read their own diplomas.

The school system from which these protesters have graduated is corrupt from the top to the bottom. The National Education Association has made the young an open prey by subjecting them to everything and protecting them from nothing. Students are given over to caucus to sodomites, as well as a transgender caucus. Furthermore, they are being taught false history and science.

These are the protesters that have been taught that it is acceptable for government to sanction the murder of the innocent (Proverbs 6:17) by calling it choice, instead of murder.

Since Roe vs Wade in 1973, 58, 586, 256 babies have been murdered in their mother’s womb. That number is equivalent to 18 states in our union.
Once they are done with public school, they can choose a college of their choice to be indoctrinated, and indebted, by a bunch of burnt communists, who are still high on PCP, high enough to call themselves professors (Romans 1:22), while the dumbed down are taught to believe it.

Former Education Secretary under Ronald Regan said, In America today, the longer you stay in school, the dumber you get…” –William Bennett

This is all happening because 86% of the American people that call themselves Christians, patriots or conservatives are dropping them off at the front door of a public school that should not exist in the first place (Proverbs 22:6).

All the while, cowardly professors in the church stood down (Psalm 78) because they did not want to judge what God commanded (Isaiah 59:14). They continually strain at the gnat and swallow the big, big camel by removing the Law (Romans 3:20; Galatians 3:24) and teaching a false grace (Galatians 5:13), which ends with hate rather than love (Psalm 109:4, and hell rather than heaven (Psalm 9:16-17); namely, Thou shalt not kill (Deuteronomy 5:17).

Out of their own mouths:

The following article was in the editorial section of the Dallas Morning News on Sunday, May 2, 1999.

Generation NEXT has some Questions I am a member of the upcoming generation–the one after Generation X that has yet to be given a name. So far, it appears that most people are rallying behind the idea of calling us Generation Next. I believe I know why. The older generations are hoping we will mindlessly assume our place as the “next” in line. That way, they won’t have to explain why my generation has had to experience so much pain and heartache. “What heartache?” you say. “Don’t you know you have grown up in a time of great prosperity?” Yeah, we know that. Believe me, it has been drilled into our heads since birth. Unfortunately, the pain and hurt I speak of can’t be reconciled with money. You have tried for years to buy us happiness, but it is only temporary. Money isn’t the answer, and it is time for people to begin admitting their guilt for failing my generation. I will admit that I wasn’t planning to write this. I was going to tuck it away in some corner of my mind and fall victim to your whole “next” mentality.

But after the Massacre in Littleton, CO, I realize that as a member of this generation that kills without remorse, I had a duty to challenge all of my elders to explain why they have allowed things to become so bad. Let me tell you this: These questions don’t represent only me but a Whole generation that is struggling to grow up and make sense of this world. We all have questions; we all want explanations. People may label us Generation Next, but we are more appropriately Generation “Why?”

“Why did most of you lie when you made the vow of ’til death do us part’?” “Why do you fool yourselves into believing that divorce really is better for the kids in the long run?” “Why do so many of you divorced parents spend more time with your new boyfriend or girlfriend than with your own children?”

“Why did you ever fall victim to the notion that kids are just as well off being raised by a complete stranger at a day care center than by their own mother or father?” “Why do you look down on parents who decide to quit work and stay home to raise their children?” “Why does the television do the most talking at family meals?” “Why is work more important than your own family?” “Why is money regarded as more important than relationships?”

“Why is ‘quality time’ generally no longer than a five-to-10-minute conversation each day?” “Why do you try to make up for the lack of time you spend with us by giving us more and more material objects that we really don’t need?” “Why does your work (in the form of a cell Phone, laptop computer, etc.), always come with us on vacations?”

“Why have you neglected to teach us values and morals?” “Why haven’t you lived moral lives that we could model our own after?” “Why isn’t religion one of the most important words in our household?” “Why do you play God when it comes to abortion?” “Why don’t you have enough faith in us to teach us abstinence rather than safe sex?” “Why do you allow us to watch violent movies but expect us to maintain some type of childlike innocence?” “Why do you allow us to spend unlimited amounts of time on the Internet, but still are shocked about our knowledge of how to build bombs?” “Why are you so afraid to tell us ‘no’ sometimes?” “Why is it so hard for you to realize that school shootings, and other violent juvenile behavior, result from a lack of your attention more than anything else?” Call us Generation Next if you want to, but I think you will be surprised at how we will fail to fit into your neat little category. These questions should, and will, be asked of the generations that have failed us. Written by Marcy Musgrave, a junior at Texas A&M University. [YouTube Video]

As a forewarning, you might want to bless this generation while you have time to do so. If you don’t, they will be there to curse you.

“The philosophy taught in the class room in one generation will be the taught in government in the next.”

This year, the British people, overwhelmed by senseless and endless mass immigration invading their country—stopped it with their Brexit vote to exit the European Union.

British citizens saved what’s left of their country by stopping the immigration flood. The majority of Muslim immigrants feed off the UK welfare system without end. They demonstrate for Sharia Law. They bring their honor killings, female genital mutilation practices, killings of gays and arranged marriages into the advanced culture of first world Great Britain. Other groups of immigrants from Africa change the entire culture and ethos of Great Britain to make in “everybody’s country”, rather than its founders—the British people.

The Brits felt exasperation at their leaders importing incompatible cultures and religions displacing them from their own country.

Brits voted against the “elites” forfeiting their country to mass immigration—much like Canada’s Trudeau, Germany’s Merkel, France’s Hollande and Australia’s Tony Abott. Those leaders forced refugee immigration on their people with no regard as to the sociological, racial, cultural and religious conflicts growing at every juncture. Consequently, Muslim immigrants created the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Paris, France slaughter, Nice, France truck killings, Brussels, Belgium, London, England beheadings…and more to come.

At his “last rodeo” trip to Europe, Barack Obama quipped, “The majority of Americans think I’m doing a pretty good job.”

NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!

Such a statement proves his cognitive dissonance and his arrogance in the face of facts. The majority of Americans dislike Obama for breaking our laws with illegal “executive orders”. They felt betrayed by him for aiding and abetting illegal aliens to violate our borders by the millions. In an interview, he encouraged an illegal alien to vote in our presidential election. I watched it. Such behavior by a president remains unprecedented.

Worse than that, his record needs examination as to his failure as a leader. During his tenure in the White House:

Food stamp recipients jumped from 36 million eight years ago to 48 million in 2014. Currently 45 million Americans subsist on food stamps because they cannot secure a job. Obama failed to provide employment to put Americans back to work. He failed to bring jobs from China back to America by changing “Free Trade” to “Fair Trade”.

Today, 8.7 million Americans cannot secure a job because Obama failed to take action in their behalf. Why? Because in excess of 10 million illegal aliens work American jobs under the table, in cash and at lower wages. Additionally, 1.5 to 1.7 million legal and illegal immigrants continue flooding into America annually. That’s over 110,000 every 30 days. How can average Americans expect to be employed with that enormous onslaught of immigrants into America? Obama did nothing to stop it.

Black America suffered the most: one in four African-Americans languishes without jobs. Three out of four black babies arrive out of wedlock with a mother subsisting on welfare paid for by your tax dollars. Black on black crime continues at 6,100 murders annually because of poverty, anger, drugs, illiteracy and lack of jobs. Obama accomplished little to change that in the black community.

According to www.cis.org, (Center for Immigration Studies) researcher Dr. Steven Camarota discovered that illegal alien flows continue at 500,000 annually. Additionally, 350,000 pregnant illegal alien women birth their babies on American soil (anchor babies) to enjoy welfare, food, housing and education for themselves and their babies—all paid for by your taxes. In other words, your taxes support an invading army.

When Obama entered the White House with scant experience and meager credentials, our national debt reached $13 trillion. In eight years, he jumped it to $19.5 trillion via lack of any financial acumen. We all pay over $30 million monthly in interest payments from our taxes.

During his tenure, he invited illegal aliens, by refusing to enforce our laws, over our borders to give them housing, food and schooling—but left 60,000 American military veterans out in the cold. The VA failed them because Obama failed.

Obama created the greatest racial divide in America since the Detroit, Michigan riots of 1968. He promoted and praised the anarchist group: Black Lives Matter. He told everyone that the thug Trayvon Martin could be his son. He encouraged violence in Ferguson, Missouri when Michael Brown attacked white police officer Darren Johnson. In the aftermath, black gangs and black Muslims executed police officers in many cities across America: New York, Chicago, Dallas, Baton Rouge and Atlanta.

Unknown by most Americans, Obama employed 10 Muslims as aides to promote Islam and Sharia Law in America. His one aide named Imam Mohammed Magid works full time in the White House to promote Sharia Law in America. Sharia Law conflicts with the U.S. Constitution. One of his immigration aides promotes as much Muslim immigration into America as he can get away with under cover of executive privilege. The Quran espouses these actions known as “hjhra”, another word for “seeding” a host country with an advance group of Muslims in order to conquer that country. It’s working all over Europe and destroying European countries at breakneck speed.

Muslims cannot in any way become Americans. The Quran forbids it. Their entire context of religious-political Sharia Law demands subjugation to their religion with no allegiance to the U.S. Constitution. The Quran forbids women’s rights, marital choice, free speech, gay rights and religious rights. Our way of life remains completely out of bounds to Islam. This 4-minute video explains our plight:

Because of Muslim immigration: 9/11, Boston Marathon, Fort Dix, Fort Hood, San Bernardino, Orlando, Florida, Moore, Oklahoma beheadings, Rocky River, Ohio honor killings, Dearbornistan, Michigan becoming a parallel Muslim society within our own country, 22 verified Muslim terrorist training camps from New York to Oregon, New York Times Square car bomber, underwear bomber, shoe bomber and hundreds of foiled terrorist attempts we never hear about.

Americans knew Hillary’s platform promises that if she became president, she would flood this country with hundreds of thousands of Muslim Syrian refugees that would wreak havoc in communities across the country. Hillary promised amnesty for 15 to 31 million illegal aliens. Her election guaranteed America’s borders would see accelerated illegal immigration. We must understand one reality: the third world adds 80,000,000 (million), net gain, new babies annually. They overwhelm their countries and create desperate migration to Western countries. But in the end, they don’t stabilize their birth rates, so the line of refugees accelerates:

Take five minutes to see for yourself

Hillary promised to fill the Supreme Court with liberal justices who would follow her personal quest for open borders. Note: NPR reported that 85-90 percent of Evangelical Christian women voted for Trump to stop the Supreme Court from being stacked with pro-choice justices.

In reality, the democrats and republicans created Donald J. Trump. They created Trump because for 40 years, Congress and our last six presidents failed to secure our borders and failed to stop “Free Trade”. These actions degraded America’s middle class by stealing jobs and allowed China to manufacture all our mercantile goods. Our poor and uneducated could not secure jobs because of millions of legal and illegal immigrants—taking those jobs.

In a sense, we Americans didn’t realize that endless immigration destroyed the fabric of our society with the insane beast of the 21st century: multiculturalism and diversity. Both don’t work, but average Americans must suffer from the tensions, conflict and religious chaos created by them.

Why Trump Won

Trump promised to build a wall to stop drugs and illegals. He promised to deport illegals by taking away their jobs so they leave on their own. He promised to “extreme vetting” of Muslim refugees to protect Americans, not terrorists. He told America that our immigration system should enhance our country, not degrade it. He promised to stop mass Muslim immigration proven to destroy host countries: Norway, Sweden, UK, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Holland—all face horrific ethnic, racial and religious chaos. Trump promised to change trade agreements such as NAFTA and TPP to secure American jobs. He promised to educate and enliven the ghettos of America. He promised to make NATO and the UN pay their own way. He stood for law and order instead of encouraging anarchy and violence. He promised to stop bleeding America’s money in cash transfers by immigrants back to their home countries at $80 billion annually.

Obama promised “hope and change”, but we never understood his attempts to undermine and defeat our country from within. As we awakened to his religious thrust, we didn’t want our country changed into an Islam caliphate and debt ridden ghetto! Hillary promised more of the same. We didn’t buy it.

Destabilizing Forces: Multiculturalism and Diversity

“Diversity within a nation destroys unity and leads to civil wars,” said social scientist Garret Hardin. “Immigration, a benefit during the youth of a nation, can act as a disease in its mature state. Too much internal diversity in large nations has led to violence and disintegration. We are now in the process of destabilizing our own country. The magic words of destabilizers are ‘diversity’ and ‘multiculturalism’.”

Whether Teddy Roosevelt or Donald Trump—history will show Americans, like the British people, came to their senses to vote for their best interests instead of more of the same “hope and change” that did little for Americans in the last eight years.

The ferocity with which the left and their running dog lackey in the main stream media have attacked former Breitbart publisher Stephen K. Bannon is a testimony to his effectiveness and clear-eyed understanding of the challenges detailed in wrenching control of the U.S. government from the special interest, globalists in multinational corporation whose policies have driven us to the brink of bankruptcy and to be the laughingstock of the world community.

In the interest of full disclosure I have written for Breitbart News and have every intention of continuing. Although Breitbart News is sharp edged and articulate it is neither anti-semitic nor racist and neither is Steve Bannon.

The claim that Bannon is anti-semitic comes from his ex wife in an acrimonious divorce proceeding and has been vehemently denied by Bannon. There is no other evidence that Bannon harbors ill feeling towards Jews or Israel. The Clinton Oppo file distributed by the Clintonistas to the MSM supplies the fodder for the constant barrage of incoming visited upon the former Brietbart publisher.

Bannon is targeted because the left knows he is dangerous. Bannon has a keen understanding of alternative media and the Internet. Bannon understands the greater cultural divides and developments in the electorate which made the Trump victory possible. Bannon also knows that the Trump administration must not be co-opted by the party establishment types or the neocons who’s war policies Trump disagrees with. Internally Bannon is the keeper of the Trump flame and must be a protector of the Trump agenda.

To be a great president Trump must deliver on his core promises of sealing our boarders, recharging economy, renegotiating the detrimental globalist trade deals upgrading veterans healthcare to be the finest in the world, creating a job boom in our inner cities while conducting a foreign policy that keeps us out of war while entering a new period of detente and hardheaded negotiations with Putin and the Russians that will enable us to work in coordination to crush our mutual enemy ISIS.

Concerns about crimes committed in their country by illegal immigrants and concerns about the ultimate social welfare costs for those who come here illegally and stay does not make one a racist.

The charge of racist has become a staple of the 500 million front organizations funded by George Soros and is used to attack anyone who questions the policy of record of the Clintons. In fact the 1994 Crime Bill which incarcerated an entire generation of young black men for the non-violent crime of possession of small amounts of drugs. In fact the mandatory penalties for possession of rock cocaine was far more harsh than the mandatory penalty for powered cocaine.

This was pushed by Hillary who famously who famously called inner city blacks super predators “who must be brought to heel”. This is the same Bill Clinton who argued in the federal courts for the Arkansas state police’s right to racially profile drivers.

I have worked for reformed of New York’s draconian and racists Rockefeller drug laws since XXXX. I spoke at a rally addressed by the Reverend Al Sharpton AKA Russell Simmons, Andrew Cuomo and a host of labor leaders. I have written in favor of affirmative action, which was a Nixon administration program to address passed inequalities for black people. I have long taken the libertarian view in support of gay marriage and I have written and said that marijuana should be legalized and regulated for recreational purposes and that the federal government should remove marijuana from the Schedule A-list that includes heroine and cocaine. As a first step to federal legalization as some republicans are now proposing.

Neither Steve Bannon nor Alex Jones nor Roger Stone is a racist or a bigot but that did not stop many in the mainstream media from continuing this narrative.

Floridians Were Glad To See Him Go

Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red, brown, yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight.

If you were going to a surgeon for the first time, would you really choose someone who only had one year of experience under their belt? Why is the head of our highest education positions considered to not need people with some experience under their belts but yet are referred to as highly qualified? 

I am doing a Part 2 on Gerard Robinson because I want parents to fully understand the manipulation which has been going on behind the scenes in placing individuals in charge/overseeing your children’s education. Cherry picking these individuals who have practically no teaching experience under their belts, but are willing to follow the “leaders” as to how they want education to affect our children’s lives is unacceptable.

At the time Robinson was hired in Florida, when listening to the members of the State School Board and Governor Scott, you would believe the man had been teaching for over 20 years. The truth is a far cry from that. One year – yes that’s it. Having taught only one year in a fifth-grade classroom the balance of his experience is having taught college courses for two years but has spent the bulk of his career on education policy, according to his resume. He had focused on what he called the “macro” side of school reform.

Following in the steps of Florida’s retiring Commissioner of Education Eric Smith who has a great deal of teaching experience, (but was certainly a Jeb Bush player), Robinson is in step with the path that had been laid for Florida’s education in that he and Smith are part of Jeb Bush’s gang of “Chief’s for Change” inside Bush’s Foundation in Excellence in Education.

Jeb Bush, his father and brother who are NOT teachers believed they knew what was best in giving our children a good education. Sadly, all the legislation passed from George H.W. including Bill Clinton to today have been pushed with an agenda which has thrown the education of our children into a tail spin. And most of their maneuvers have circled around money in their pockets.

What they were doing was following a path that had been laid out toward a New World Order and the “Dumbing Down of Our Children”.

Even with the Common Core (CCSS) – what did they give us but someone they claim to have written the standards who had never taught one day in his life, arrogant David Coleman? Truth be known, those in this country who worked on the CCSS were only tweeting a system that was already in force under the United Nations and being used in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the name “Common Core Curriculum” since 2003:

There have been many meetings and much discussion on how to compare and harmonize existing syllabi and create a Common Core.”

Link]

Jason Zimba, the other part of the CCSS and in charge of the Math unlike Coleman did teach for a short time at Bennington College where Coleman’s mother worked. He met Coleman at Oxford (and we know what kind of philosophy they teach) and they put their heads together and founded “Grow Network” a company that produced reports to help districts and states make sense of the new NCLB test results.

I was not surprised or sympathetic to Zimba when word got out his daughter’s school’s math scores had not gone up under the CCSS, but then why should they?

The CCSS are totally aligned with the UN/UNESCO “Education For All” which was agreed upon by all nations in 2000 and was supposed to be implemented by 2015 with the added aid of the World Bank. Never forget that Education For All was included as part of the implementation of Maurice Strong’s Climate Change scam to push the world to be governed through the United Nations again using our children.

You know that Hitler, Chavez, Mao Tse Tung, Castro, Stalin and Lenin were evil? Add Maurice Strong to that list since he is the father of this agenda and the main object is NOT Climate Change but the removal of your property rights and ruining the capitalist system while using the education system and our children to accomplish that objective.

Having died just last year, it is Maurice Strong and his cronies who have managed to get GAIA worship into our schools through their textbooks claiming GAIA is about Science when it is Nature worship.

Prior to taking the job in Virginia, Robinson was president of the Black Alliance for Educational Options, a group that advocates for school choice — including charter schools and school vouchers — for low-income black students. [Link]

I don’t care if this sounds racist or not – why are we always focusing on “low income black students when there are thousands of low-income white and Hispanic students also. Millions of dollars have been funneled into this single agenda with absolutely no results because the students are continually told they will never succeed, everyone is trying to make the world too hard for them and they are repeatedly sold the bill of goods of a “hand-out” rather than a “hand up” because “whitey” wants them to fail.

Florida’s State School Board members stated after interviewing 5 candidates Robinson was the best choice – why is that? His support of Charter/Choice/Vouchers because it certainly could not have been his education background since his job as Secretary of Education in VA was an advisory position – nothing like Florida’s position:

It is very apparent that experience in education as to what our children need and should have is currently based on who you know especially if you support Charter/Choice/Vouchers or you have a great deal of money to back it up. It has absolutely nothing to do with what is really needed for our children to succeed in life.

This link if you have never seen it before should put shivers up and down your spine as to how the education of our children is being looked at from under the dollar bills. [LINK]

Gerard Robinson is still not teaching but is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he works on education policy issues including choice in public and private schools, regulatory development and implementation of K-12 laws, the role of for-profit institutions in education, prison education and reentry, rural education, and the role of community colleges and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in adult advancement. What would be the basis for his being involved in any of that?

I will tell you up front that I am not a supporter of AEI simply because they are just another backdoor organization that dictates policy and laws with their money and mouths while not knowing anything about what they speak. 

I will repeat my opinion from Part 1 that Gerard Robinson should NOT be on the Transition Team for the Dept. of Education or to be more clear, should NOT have a voice in the education futures of ANY of our children no matter if they are Black, White, Brown, Green or Purple. This idea that it is not what you know but who you know and will support it unquestionably isn’t cutting it.

Experience counts and Gerard Robinson is not equipped – he is only selling what he believes should be offered for our kids and the money men and women he has found himself aligned with. [Link]

 

Mr. Trump, please it is not too late. Allow us to introduce you to individuals from around this country who have supported the “good” education of our children and have not been involved in “Mickey Mouse” games over who can get the most money out of milking the system.

Mr. Trump, since you voiced your desire and intention to get rid of the Dept. of Education, don’t you think it would be wiser to put individuals in place who agree with you and would have ideas on how to do that – not those who are buried deep into their personal financial gain which is based on being in the right place to support the current agenda.

Mr. Trump, please don’t let yourself get hood-winked like Reagan did as he also ran on an agenda to close down the department and he let his appointee’s talk him out of it by lies and many of those individuals are still around today – Bill Bennett, Chester Finn and others.

“We should understand the Constitution as the founders meant that it should be understood. We can do this by reading their words about it, such as those contained in the Federalist Papers. Such understanding is essential if we are to preserve what God has given us.” —Ezra Taft Benson

“We may be tossed upon an ocean where we can see no land – not, perhaps, the sun or stars. But there is a chart and a compass for us to study, to consult, and to obey. The chart is the Constitution.” —Daniel Webster at an address at Springfield Massachusetts on 29 September 1847

President Trump Listens to Us

Am I pleased with our President-elect’s choices so far? Yes, I am. Like Trump, none of them are perfect, but they will do a wonderful job for our new President. Even if there are areas in these men’s political lives that are not perfect, we now have a president who will listen to the American people. He has heard us in the past.

We told Mr. Trump that common core was rotting the minds of the students and destroying the teaching profession, and the government schools have eliminated academic teaching. Trump knows, and common core is on the way out. More than that needs to go as well.

Long ago, Trump was pro-choice, thought it was a woman’s right, but then he watched a video of an abortion, and that was the catalyst that brought him to the saving knowledge that it is an evil that needs to be eliminated. The gestating baby is a human being that is separate from the mother, and as such should have the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

When Mr. Trump was first questioned about the land in the Western states being held by the Feds, he thought it was okay. Then he got some flak from the American citizens who know what is going on. He sent his son to investigate, and then Trump wrote an article about it in the Reno Gazette Journal, Trump: Nevada, US Needs a President Who Obeys the Law. Listen to this three-minute video on same. 

I do not know of any politician, much less a president of the United States who has listened to the people like Donald J. Trump. This is why I have hope.

The other area that deeply concerns me is Veteran Affairs. We need a veteran to take on the problems in this arena. It would also be wise to have a veteran who has been through the VA system and knows what needs to be done to implement our President’s agenda.

The choices of our 45th president are, so far, absolutely brilliant. He is choosing the cream of the crop, and those who will follow through with the policies and plans our new President has to Make America Great Again.

Lt. General Michael T. Flynn

General Flynn has accepted the position of National Security Advisor. I am so pleased to know he will be helping our new President. This is a man of great character and intellect who is absolutely perfect for the position. I cannot express how absolutely delighted I am at this appointment.

The Field of Fight. It is 180 pages long with an index and is a quick read. His book offers a plan that combines creative, imaginative, and strategic solutions with political engagement and effective military action…a plan to win.

Congratulations to General Flynn!

Senator Jeff Sessions

For two decades, Jeff Sessions has been the junior senator from Alabama. He is beloved by his constituents.

Senator Sessions chaired Trump’s National Security Advisory committee. ‘‘The president-elect has been unbelievably impressed with Senator Sessions and his phenomenal record as Alabama’s attorney general and U.S. attorney,’’ a Trump transition statement released Thursday read. ‘‘It is no wonder the people of Alabama re-elected him without opposition.’’

Sessions has opposed nearly every immigration bill that has come before the Senate the past two decades that has included a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally.

He’s also fought legal immigration, including guest worker programs for illegal immigrants and visa programs for foreign workers in science, math and high-tech. In 2007, Sessions got a bill passed which essentially banned, for 10 years, federal contractors who hire illegal immigrants.

Link]

I have always favored Senator Sessions because of his stance on trade, and especially on the horrible Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). He was also against fast tracking of TPP which many senators voted for, including Sen. Cruz. Fast tracking actually gave away Congress’s control to the President for six years. Fast-track, or trade promotion authority (TPA), allowed the White House to send trade deals to Congress for up-or-down votes. The Senate would not be able to filibuster them, and lawmakers would not have the power to amend them.

The expedited process, which lasts until 2018, and can be extended until 2021, greatly increased Obama’s chances of concluding negotiations on the TPP, which was a top goal of his. Thankfully, it has not passed.

Senator Sessions has not always voted the way I would have liked, but he is strong on the rule of law, and strong on protecting America. This is an honorable and good man, and I pray the Senate endorses his nomination.

Congressman Mike Pompeo

President elect Trump has nominated Congressman Mike Pompeo for head of the CIA. I’m impressed with Pompeo’s strong stance for law and order, not to mention his ability to staunch pro-terrorism activities in local mosques. [Link] Mike Pompeo, a conservative Republican congressman from Kansas, has heavily criticized the Iran deal, and was a member of the congressional committee that blasted Hillary Clinton over the attack in Benghazi, Libya. Watch his questioning of Hillary on Benghazi. Pompeo would be a huge improvement over John Brennan.

See YouTube Video Here.

Pompeo is a member of the House intelligence committee, which oversees U.S. intelligence gathering efforts. In 2014, he was appointed to the House Select Benghazi Committee to probe the 2011 attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi.

Pompeo certainly has the knowledge and skills to run the CIA. More than that he has the guts to make a tough call, something the CIA has been unwilling to do since early in the George W. Bush administration. So far, so good, but…

Unfortunately, here’s what Mike Pompeo had to say about Edward Snowden: “[He] should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence.” (Washington Examiner, 2/11/16). I am in total disagreement with Pompeo and Trump’s stances on Edward Snowden. To most Americans, Snowden is a hero.

Rep. Pompeo is also a heavy supporter of the NSA’s surveillance programs: “Congress should pass a law re-establishing collection of all metadata, and combining it with publicly available financial and lifestyle information into a comprehensive, searchable database. Legal and bureaucratic impediments to surveillance should be removed.” (The Atlantic, 11/18/16). Sorry Mike and President elect Trump, this is totally unconstitutional and I fully disagree with you.

In April of 2014, Pompeo introduced the bill that would become The Dark Act, banning states from passing laws mandating GMO labeling on food. Instead, The Dark Act introduces very weak and confusing federal GMO labels. Few people will pay attention to them or even realize they’re there.

This position requires affirmation by the Senate. Pompeo would not be my first choice, but he is still a huge improvement over Obama’s John Brennan.

General Mattis, Sec. of Defense

“You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.” Mattis’s letter to 1st Marine Division.
“Marines don’t know how to spell the word defeat.” (Business Insider)

For more of his famous quotes, go here.

James N. Mattis is a retired United States Marine Corps general who last served as the 11th commander of United States Central Command from August 11, 2010 to March 22, 2013. Mattis is known for implementing the COIN strategy.

From Military Times:

General Mattis criticized President Barack Obama for being naive about Iranian intentions and Congress for being “pretty much absent” on last year’s nuclear deal. I’d bet he’ll get along with General Flynn just fine.

Mattis is a guy who speaks his mind, he has even disagreed with Trump in the past. There were two generals I thought would be great in this position, Generals James Mattis and Stanley McChrystal. 

Conclusion

The left is urging people to boycott Ivanka Trump’s line of jewelry and clothing at various outlets. I would bet this will backfire, and her products will sell even more quickly.

Starbucks, whose CEO once said he didn’t want customers who believed marriage was only between a man and a woman, is finding out how smart Trump supporters truly are. When they order their coffee from the barista, they have to give their names so when it’s prepared, their names are yelled out. Guess what name they’re giving? You’ve got it! Trump!

Donald J. Trump, the true gentleman that he is, spoke with the press right before meeting with Robert Woodson Sr., an adviser to House Speaker Paul Ryan on issues of poverty. Woodson says he’s being considered for a post in Donald Trump’s administration as secretary for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Watch the video here. 

Trump welcomed Woodson and was outside with him and Mike Pence when he asked the press, “How you guys doing out there? Need anything?” Some of the New York press answered, “Yeah, hot chocolate, it’s getting cold out here.” What did our new president do? He sent out hot chocolate, coffee and sandwiches.

The mark of a true gentleman, a class act … that’s our newly elected president.

Pray a hedge of protection around him, his family, and his administration, and for divine wisdom in all that he does.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the mayors of several other cities across the United States are the first to challenge President-Elect Donald Trump on his willingness to uphold the rule of law. On November 14, Emanuel threw down the gauntlet, declaring defiantly that “Chicago will always be a sanctuary city.” On Friday, January 20, 2017, after President-elect Trump is sworn into office, his first move should be to demand compliance with federal law and warn that any state or local official who stands in the way of federal law enforcement will be arrested and prosecuted. The example he should follow is that of President Ronald Reagan who on August 3, 1981, put a rapid end to the PATCO strike.

Confronted with a comparable flagrant violation of federal law, President Ronald Reagan told the striking members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO), the now defunct union decertified as a result of its violation of 5 USC Section 118p (since recodified at 5 USC Section 7311), that they would be fired if they did not return to work. Indeed, Reagan defended the rule of law against PATCO despite the fact that PATCO was the only union that formally endorsed his candidacy for the presidency. Each federal employee, including each PATCO member, swore then and swears today an oath not to go on strike. PATCO members went on strike August 3, 1981 at 7AM. By 10:55AM that same day, Reagan appeared before reporters stating that all PATCO members who did not return to work within 48 hours would be fired. On August 5, 11,345 PATCO members did not return to work. Reagan fired them all, and he banned them from employment in the federal government for the remainder of their lives.

The showdown Rahm Emanuel and other like-minded mayors seek from Donald Trump should come in a rapid and immediate fashion without fanfare in the pattern of Ronald Reagan. Upon assuming office, President Trump should announce that Sanctuary Cities violate federal law and that any state official who impedes federal law enforcement officers endeavoring to enforce the nation’s immigration laws will be arrested and prosecuted. He should then direct the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) to arrest and deport all persons who are in the United States illegally, beginning with those who pose a threat to the lives and property of others, particularly those who have criminal records.

By so doing, President Trump will ensure that the states and cities no longer impede ICE enforcement of the immigration laws. State and local employees have a right, as do we all, to their opinions but when they translate those opinions into open defiance of federal law, they cross the line. While it is beyond federal law to permit the arrest of state and local officials who enact sanctuary city laws and policies, it is not beyond federal law (indeed, it is entirely consistent with federal law and the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution) to arrest and prosecute any such official who actually physically obstructs ICE agents from investigating, arresting, and prosecuting illegal aliens. And, indeed, if local government agents do stand in the way, they should be arrested and prosecuted by the feds.

By upholding federal law and ensuring that those committing acts of violence and that those engaged in illicit other activities (like prostitution, drug smuggling, money laundering, and burglary and theft) are apprehended even if in sanctuary cities, President Trump will literally be saving the lives and property not only of American citizens but also of illegal aliens.

The great irony of sanctuary cities is that they are, in fact, often not a sanctuary because they permit illegal aliens engaged in criminal activities to go undetected and unpunished. It is precisely this kind of unlawful harboring of fugitives from the law that enabled an illegal alien to take the life of Kate Steinle in San Francisco and Jamiel Shaw Jr. in Los Angeles. Steinle and Shaw are but two examples of many who have suffered loss of life or property at the hands of illegal aliens and yet have evaded law enforcement by secreting themselves in sanctuary cities.

Consider the consequences that would follow if President Trump were cowed by Emanuel and did not defend the rule of law but, through inaction, condoned the sanctuary cities.

If President Trump were to take office and not promptly countermand the defiant mayors by ensuring that federal law is enforced and that local officials who interfere with enforcement are arrested, he would thereby embolden them. Sanctuary cities would thereafter expand and become even more numerous, and the ability to enforce federal immigration laws would be rendered even more difficult. Consequently, I fully expect that President Trump will demand compliance with federal law and authorize the enforcement measures necessary to achieve that end.

Portrait of a True Trump Trooper

“Bias has always been a factor in journalism. It’s nearly impossible to remove. Humans have their thoughts, and keeping them out of your work is difficult. But 2016 saw the remaining veneer of credibility, thin as it was, stripped away and set on fire.” —Derek Hunter, Former ‘NeverTrumper’ Talk Show Host

While there are enormous numbers of supporters and campaign workers who fought and won for President-Elect Donald J. Trump, the mainstream news media appear to feature only those Trump supporters who are still part of the Republican establishment, and denizens of the D.C. “Beltway Crowd.”

However, there were many who volunteered their time, experience and talents to furthering the goal of getting a true outsider into the Oval Office, especially a man who never held political office. Donald Trump brought out the best in numerous people who didn’t work for the rewards or accolades which usually come with a newspaper or magazine byline, an appearance on a television or radio news/talk show, or a series of lectures on college campuses.

One such person is conservative research columnist and commentator Kelleigh Nelson. This is a gal who probably should be doing research directly for Mr. Trump.

Kelleigh wrote a number of stirring and informative columns with the sole purpose of neutralizing the news media’s bombastic and dishonest portrayal of Donald Trump, a man who dared to take on the progressives in politics and in newsrooms. With titles such as The Best Man To Lead This Republic, Donald J. Trump ; Donald J. Trump: Fearless Courage for God, for Family and for Country ; Hillary the Politician v. Trump the President; and many others, most of them appearing in Walter Publishing Company’s Internet daily magazine, News With Views (www.newswithviews.com).

Mr. Trump actually used two of Kelleigh’s articles in his rallies, and one of them exposed Jeb Bush’s use of eminent domain for the EPA which took 160 acres from a disabled US Navy SEAL. See the video below where Mr. Trump shows Kelleigh’s article at his South Carolina rally. Not long after that, Bush dropped out of the campaign.

Ever wonder why the media is allowed to lie with impunity about public figures? Kelleigh told us why, after Mr. Trump questioned how they could continually get away with the deceit. In her article, Supreme Court Ruled that Media Can Lie with Impunity, she explained the 1964 supreme court case, NYTs v. Sullivan, and the liberal Warren Court decision. When Mr. Trump held a huge rally in Alabama, he told about this case which originated in that state with police commissioner Sullivan.

Formerly manager of advertising and communications with a Fortune 100 company, Kelleigh’s interest in public policy was peaked when she was in high school.

She was a Goldwater girl in high school with Hillary Rodham. Nelson remembers watching Hillary while she was on the high school debating team. “I watched Hillary debate in high school and use tactics that were less than honorable… watching her lie through her teeth during the presidential debates, was enough to make me wretch,” said Kelleigh.

Kelleigh Nelson has indeed gained a wealth of knowledge through her endeavors as a Playboy Bunny in Chicago while she was in college, acting as the executive producer for two national talk radio hosts, working with her fellow-conservatives including the iconic Phyllis Schlafly, and now running her own business for the last 25 years.

“I wrote political and gossip columns for local businesses on the north side of Chicago back in the late 60s while working in downtown, and I was there for the 1968 Democratic riots,” she noted.

She has been with NewsWithViews.com since 2009, and writing exclusively about Donald Trump’s campaign, his goals and policies since he announced his candidacy. She also worked to vociferously expose his political challengers in the primary.

Kelleigh now spends her efforts researching the key candidates being proposed for President Trump’s cabinet and administration. In her recent article she expressed concern that globalists and Kingmakers might slip into key appointments and set policies which don’t adhere to Trump’s vision for Making America Great Again.

Her editor at NewsWithViews.com has this to say about Kelleigh Nelson:

“Kelleigh is one of the best research columnists in the business. She writes from the heart but doesn’t shut off her mind. She can find out anything on anybody. This election cycle saw her feverishly working to get a man she believed was destined to start making a U-Turn for the United States. Her columns garnered some of the highest numbers of readers and she still believes she’s seeing history made with the election of Trump as President of the United States.”

The post election chaos has been worse this election than any I have ever seen. The left are proving to be crybabies because they didn’t win. The shadow government, George Soros, Illuminati, Council on Foreign Relations all declared Clinton president. George Soros even stated Trump will win the popular vote but Hillary will win the election. That has already been decided. Well, somebody forgot to tell the American people.

We have seen riots in the streets demanding that the election be changed so that Hillary is the winner. The electoral college voters are even being threatened with their lives if they don’t cast their vote for Clinton.[1]

This is what happens when you let kids in school get participation trophies instead of declaring a winner and a loser. The idiots that decided that they didn’t want to hurt a student’s self esteem by having winners and losers is seeing the fruits of his/her stupidity. Schools are supposed to prepare students for the real world. The real world has winners and losers and it should be the same in schools. There have been middle school and high school kids cutting class and protesting the results of the election. Why are they allowed to do this? They didn’t vote. They had no say in the election. They should be penalized for cutting class.

Even the adult protesters were being paid to protest and 70% of them didn’t even vote! A week of violent protests in Oregon resulted in over a million dollars in damages after young Americans took to the streets to express outrage over the Nov. 8 election of President-Elect Donald Trump.

An election most of them didn’t even bother to vote in.

New information has revealed that most of these temper tantrum throwers didn’t even bother to take the time to head to the ballot box. In fact, only 34 of the 112 protesters arrested during the mayhem in Oregon actually bothered to head to the polls in the state.

Millennials are so upset with the outcome of an election, they are taking to the streets to assault officers and destroy property in protest — and they didn’t even participate!?

Local Portland news station KGW collected the names and ages of those arrested by the Portland Police Bureau and compared them to state voter logs by Multnomah County Election officials.

What they found was surprising: Of the 112 people arrested during the riots, 39 were registered in Oregon but didn’t vote in the election. Another 35 weren’t even registered to do so in the state, while four were younger than 18-years-old.

That means just 30% of these arrested actually exercised their right to vote.[2] Why would a person who didn’t even take the time, responsibility really, to vote complain about the results of the election? Actually, because they didn’t vote they don’t even have the right to protest. If you don’t participate in the election process what grounds do you have to complain? Even then what right do you have to destroy someone else’s property because the candidate you didn’t even vote for didn’t win?

The big money people are upset because they spent tens of millions to elect Hillary and now they won’t get a return on their money. They want the power that they would have had had Hillary won. George Soros and other rich liberals who spent tens of millions of dollars trying to elect Hillary Clinton are gathering in Washington for a three-day, closed door meeting to retool the big-money left to fight back against Donald Trump.

The conference, which kicked off Sunday night at Washington’s pricey Mandarin Oriental hotel, is sponsored by the influential Democracy Alliance donor club, and will include appearances by leaders of most leading unions and liberal groups, as well as darlings of the left such as House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chairman Keith Ellison, according to an agenda and other documents obtained by POLITICO.

The meeting is the first major gathering of the institutional left since Trump’s shocking victory over Hillary Clinton in last week’s presidential election, and, if the agenda is any indication, liberals plan full-on trench warfare against Trump from Day One. Some sessions deal with gearing up for 2017 and 2018 elections, while others focus on thwarting President-elect Trump’s 100-day plan, which the agenda calls “a terrifying assault on President Obama’s achievements — and our progressive vision for an equitable and just nation.”[3]

I remember when Obama won in 2008. Republicans didn’t riot in the streets, demand the election be reversed, destroy innocent people’s property, beat up Obama supporters, threaten people’s lives and generally be lowlife criminals. We put on our big boy pants, sucked it up and lived with the fact that we lost. As I recall we did the same thing in 2012 when Obama won re-election. What we are seeing is the uber left not being able to face the fact that their ‘business as usual’ system in D.C. is about to be put on its head. Under Obama we’ve coddled the ideology that demands that we drop our culture and embrace satan worship and shariah law and now we have a president that will stand for what has made America the greatest nation the world has ever seen, Christianity. He believes that immigration should benefit our nation and that means controlled immigration, vetting anyone who comes here and banning ideologies that are diametrically opposed to our way of life.

Trump believes that we should have access to the natural resources that we have in abundance, coal, oil, gas and that we should be energy independent. Jimmy Carter established the Department of energy in 1997 to ‘make America energy independent’. Well, we were importing 20% of our oil at the time and now with an annual budget of around $26 billion dollars we are now importing over 70% of our oil. Just what are we spending $26 billion on? Trump wants to spend that money wisely. The EPA is going nuts because they will be reined in big time. In reality they should be an advisory committee of about 5-7 people not a regulatory agency that is answerable to no one not even the president.

All the riots we are seeing are being funded by George Soros. Activist groups funded by radical billionaire George Soros are fomenting civil unrest in the streets in hopes of kneecapping President-Elect Donald Trump even before he takes the oath of office on Jan. 20.

Those groups — including MoveOn and Black Lives Matter — are hurling the same old tired smears and epithets at Trump that they used during the election. Trump is racist, xenophobic, misogynist, anti-gay, fascistic, heartless, and plain old sinister, they shriek.

The affluent network of big donors who have given more than $500 million to left-wing groups since 2005 began a three-day meeting this past Sunday.

There is evidence that some anti-Trump protests after the election were staged events in which rent-a-mobs were imported from out of state. Soros is well-known for funding such inauthentic political activism. Democrat Hillary Clinton personally authorized illegal dirty tricks operations against Trump’s campaign, according to top Democrat operative Robert Creamer in undercover video shot by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action Fund.

NBC affiliate KGW reports that more than half of the anti-Trump demonstrators arrested in Portland, Oregon, weren’t Oregon voters. Of 112 taken into custody by the Portland Police Bureau, at least 69 of them “either didn’t turn in a ballot or weren’t registered to vote in the state.”

The Left’s goal, as it was during and after the bitter 36-day Florida recount in 2000, is to delegitimize the incoming president because he is a Republican. Democracy isn’t working properly if it puts non-leftists in power, left-wingers reason, so all GOP chief executives must be vigorously opposed.[4]

This is a case of subversion and anarchy that can and should be prosecuted. There are even Craigslist ads for anti-Trump protesters: Busted! George Soros strikes again?

As violent anti-Trump riots head into Day 5, new evidence suggests the protests were staged by operatives paid to block traffic and hold up signs protesting Donald Trump‘s duly elected presidency.

A slew of Craigslists ads {pictured above) posted online across Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and other big cities are offering up to $1,500 a week for people to engage in “Stop Trump” movements.

Job duties include “blocking traffic,” and tout “no previous experience required,” so it’s perfect for unskilled or otherwise unemployed workers.
Ads posted on CraigsList in Seattle are recruiting full-time, part-time and permanent positions as protesters, Fox News reported.[5]

This is the state of our political arena today. Violent hate from the left and all too often complacency on the right. The next four years will determine where we will be 20-30 years down the road. I hope that we will establish a path that puts America and Americans first. Our kids and our grandkids deserve a nation as good as the one our parents gave us. I hope that what we give them will be a better world.

What a week! One thing is clearly demonstrated by this election, we are a deeply divided nation. There are two groups, those who produce, and those who take from those who produce. And sadly it appears that we are almost evenly divided.

“A new report on Americans’ attitudes toward socialism says that statements of Karl Marx have more support among millennial than what the Bible says about work and people’s right to eat. Asked if they agree with what Marx said, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his need,” 64 percent of millennial said, “yes,” but only 53 percent said they agree with the statement in the Bible that “if any would not work, neither should he eat,” according to a new poll by YouGov and the Washington, D.C.-based Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.”[1]

We have seen how the Hollywood and entertainment elites are disgusted but how many of them have done what they promised and left America? We’d be better off without them. They believe they are our superiors when the reality is the other way around.

We see now how angry and even violent the liberal progressive left turns out to be. Does anyone remember riots after Obama’s first election in 2008? It has also been reported, that some universities are offering counseling and safe spaces for students emotionally debilitated by the election results. I guess it has incapacitated their professors as well, who had to cancel their classes. One thing is apparent, the Marxists own the urban areas of our country; the more densely populated the more Marxist. Yet, cities are where you find the greatest failures of those marxist policies. Just consider Detroit, once one the wealthiest cities in the world that is until marxists were elected and began to give away the wealth of those who worked for it to those who would not work. Today Detroit is the sobering picture of the future of any society that is foolish enough to actually implement that system of government sponsored plunder known as marxism.

This election tells us that we are in the midst of an ideological war over this question: what is the purpose of civil government? is it a system of legalized plunder where the producers are robbed by those who won’t work, or is it a government which is focused on protecting God given rights which includes property rights.

The Marxist would have us believe that a society is blessed when it promotes and enacts a system of legalized plunder. It is obvious that the plundered in that society are not blessed. And Scripture tells us that not only are the plun-dered not blessed but even the plunderers themselves are not blessed – for by becoming thieves in a system of legalized plunder they have earned the wrath of God; they are cursed, not blessed.

The key issue is this; what has God our Creator ordained human civil gov-ernment to do, and what has He also restricted it from doing.

Some time ago I read the excellent book “Toward a Theology of Taxation” and it surveyed everything the Bible says on the subject of taxation. It is in-teresting to see God’s design in the Hebrew Republic. The civil government is small and does only a few things leaving the other two God ordained insti-tutions, family government and church government, to do all the other sig-nificant tasks in society. Thus taxation was very small, everyone paid exactly the same amount regardless of their income or their assets. Now folks will tell us that such a society is impossible, a dream that could never be fulfilled in this world. I find it odd that people make that assertion for it was the case in early America.

When Alexis de Tocqueville visited American in the 1830’s one of the surprises for him was how small and nearly invisible civil government was. What he was witnessing was the blessing of a society where people by and large were self governed ordering their lives by the Word of God, where family government was vibrant, raising godly children who would fulfill their roles as godly contributors to society, where the church government was strong fulfilling all its God ordained duties and therefore civil government wasn’t all that important.

Consider just one example – Exodus 20:15 Thou shalt not steal. If people learn God’s Law and order their own self government accordingly, they will avoid all violations of their neighbor’s God ordained property rights. If the family fulfills its duty of training up disciples of Christ who not only clearly understand the God ordained issue of property rights, they are deeply imbued with a commitment to the protection of everyone’s property rights, not just their own, then the greatest impact will be felt everywhere. Then the Church in turn does its job preaching against every species of violations of property rights in society, thus educating everyone regarding the sacred nature of property rights. Now what job is left to civil government? There will be a few people who slip through the cracks of this full on press to preserve property rights but they will be few and will be such an exception to the overall tenor of society that everyone will despise the thief in their midst, every institution of society will reenforce the sacred value of property rights in how the whole of society responds to the the thief when he is exposed.

In such a system the idea of Marxism would be soundly rejected for all would see it is but a thinly veiled attempt to institutionalize legalized plunder. It would find no foothold at all there for everyone’s thinking and commitment would be to eliminate thievery in all its forms.

To those who would say that such a description is fanciful, impossible, and could never be made to work, I simply reply read what Alexis de Tocqueville wrote after visiting America in the 1830’s. In fact it is amazing to see what he recommends to the Legislator. “It should therefore be the unceasing object of the legislators of democracies and of all the virtuous and enlightened men who live there to raise the souls of their fellow citizens and keep them lifted up towards heaven…If among the opinions of a democratic people any of those pernicious theories exist which tend to inculcate that all perishes with the body, let men by whom such theories are professed be marked as the natural foes of the whole people.”[2] So they should put down Atheism at every turn.

When we ask, Does God’s Word give instructions to a society that desires the greatest blessings? Yes it does and there are two primary instructions: Right Worship and Right Living.

Wasn’t it great? I refer to Donald Trump’s Triumph in the U.S. Presidential Election. Right up until the end experts were predicting a Hillary victory, which is clearly what many of them wanted.

At our house, we stayed up to the wee hours of the following morning and it was fun. Did you see the shots of the activists at Hillary’s watch party? They were devastated.

It was great to see Trump defeat the Democrats and Mainstream Media (or do I repeat myself?).

Look at everything Trump and his campaign endured. The Republican elite tried to stop Trump, as did the Democrats, the Mainstream Media, and the government of Mexico.

And yet, Trump won. And part of the fun of it was the comeuppance received by the Bush Family and the Republican Establishment, the Mainstream Media and the Clinton Machine.

You’ve got to just bask in the glow of the Trump Triumph.

But after celebrating, we have to look at the big picture and steel ourselves for the battles that yet remain to be fought. For the Trump victory is not the end by any means.

To be sure, keeping the Clintons out of the White House was, in itself, a great public service.

Can you imagine a President Hillary Clinton as president enacting her agenda and appointing Supreme Court justices?

As a sideshow, can you imagine former president Bill Clinton as – well, there’s no precedent for it in American history – “First Gentleman” (though that doesn’t sound quite right). Can you imagine Bill Clinton loose in the White House with no responsibilities?

The Clinton Machine was stopped, and that’s great. Beyond that, there are plenty of things about the Trump Platform that are worthy of celebration.

Trump has pledged to secure the border with Mexico and start enforcing the law, and has even put such formerly taboo subjects as legal immigration and Muslim immigration on the table.

Trump has pointed the way to a less interventionist foreign policy and better relations with Russia. Hey, the Cold War has been over twenty-five years, it’s about time! Plus, we have common interests with Russia and we ought to cultivate them.

Trump has been bold in his speech, not always careful about how he said things, but willing to buck the tyranny of “political correctness”. And that’s a step in the right direction.

It’s great that Trump won. But let’s not kid ourselves into thinking that a Trump presidency will, in and of itself, save the country. It’s really an opportunity to save our country, if we take advantage of it.

To save America, the Trump Triumph was necessary, but in and of itself it’s not sufficient.

There are so many problems in our country, and you can’t blame them all on Obama, or Hillary, or the Democrats, though they’ve worked to make things worse.

The loss of traditional moral values and a common American identity, family disintegration, the brainwashing of our young in public institutions of “learning” – these are all very deeply rooted problems that aren’t going away soon.

Our families are in trouble and our schools are in trouble. Our entertainment industry is a bad influence. Even the churches are not doing all that they should to properly educate American Christians. Many churches are too influenced by pop psychology and have compromised on important doctrinal and moral issues.

Add to that the continuous arrival of new immigrants who, if they vote, overwhelmingly vote for the Democrats. This process would eventually transform the U.S. into a one-party socialist state. If mass immigration isn’t radically reduced, and if the immigrants already here don’t assimilate, then the United States as we know it is doomed.

If the Trump Administration could slow the demographic transformation of the U.S., it might give us more time to get our act together. Maybe. We hope.

We also need to be prepared to hold Trump’s feet to the fire, in case he wavers in some of his principal campaign pledges. We need to keep a lot of pressure on the U.S. Congress.

And we need to educate our fellow citizens.

Maybe, just maybe, if we do all this, we can slow and hopefully reduce America’s decline, and maybe even reverse it.

Thank God for the Donald Trump Triumph, and let’s make the best of it. There may not be another such chance.

How to Get Non-establishment Candidates Elected

One thing Tea Party and Liberty Action and Citizens for Liberty groups can learn from the 2016 election is that traditional methods of getting non-traditional candidates elected to office do not work. We in Colorado learned that when a wonderful candidate, Darryl Glenn, ran against U.S. Senate incumbent Michael Bennett, a Democrat and a loser, and lost.

Donald Trump was a non-traditional candidate who could afford to run his own campaign his own way and he did it with great skill. He started with Corey Lewandowski, a non-traditional campaign manager. He moved to Paul Manafort, a traditionalist who served as campaign manager for a brief time. He moved on to KellyAnne Conway who has a good balance of the two methodologies, understanding both traditional and non-traditional campaign strategies.

But what about non-traditional candidates who aren’t billionaires able to fund their own political campaigns? They need non-traditional candidate campaign managers who can get them known to voters without spending a lot of money – and they are non-existent. What an opportunity this presents to the Tea Party and other groups to learn about non-traditional candidates and how to get them elected and provide help to future constitutional populist candidates!

What does a non-traditional campaign manager (NTCM) know about getting someone elected that is missing from the handbook of a traditional campaign manager?

First, NTCMs understand they will not have access to Republican funding, especially for primary elections or general elections. RNC money will go to candidates selected and controlled by the RNC or State Republican Party, just as it always has. It’s how the Party controls candidates once elected to office. Traditional campaign managers are used to having access to money for advertising and large staffs. Non-traditional candidates do not have these luxuries. Hillary Clinton spent huge amounts of money on advertising and staff compared to Donald Trump.

Local candidates are not billionaires… and politics at the RNC level haven’t changed just because Donald Trump beat them at their own game. Trump’s ability to fly to campaign gatherings in his own plane was a huge advantage… but candidates for state office don’t have to fly coast to coast. They must drive from city to city. It’s a pain in the neck (butt) and it takes a lot of late night driving and one-night motel stays. But it can be and has been done.

I will keep reminding you that you will never gain any ground at changing the national political mess until you regain control of your local political structure. Actually, you get congrats from me on this topic because Republicans not only have majorities in the House and Senate and a Republican is now in the Executive office in Washington, D.C., they also have 35 governorships and dominate most state legislatures. You’re doing what needs to be done to take back our country from the socialists!

The biggest difficulty non-traditional candidates have is making sure voters who live in the cities in which they campaign know who they are and what their platform is. They need publicity to get their message out so voters can consider them serious candidates. How do you achieve that with limited funds?

1. Most NTCMs assume they will write fabulously interesting press releases and local reporters will publish/broadcast them. WRONG!

First, if your candidate is a Republican you will get no help from the local media most of whom are committed Democrats. Understand this: In America, there are 1,500 newspapers, 1,100 magazines, 9,000 radio stations, 1500 television stations and 2,400 publishers. Almost all of them are owned by these 6 corporations: General Electric, Newscorp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, and CBS. If you (or a mutual fund in which you are invested) owns stock in any of these companies, you are supporting companies that want to destroy the sovereignty of America.

Second, newspapers and television news are in business to publish… news. The fact that a political candidate comes (or is coming) to town is not necessarily news. Does the candidate have something to say that can be defined as news? Is it something that hasn’t been said and reported before? If so, it may be worth a paragraph or two… but if there’s an accident on the local freeway, that’s where reporters will go. Their job is local news.

All of the wonderful comments traditional campaign managers make in their press releases are viewed by the media as advertising, not news. And they are usually right. If you want to advertise, pay the price (which is what non-traditional candidates can’t afford to do). So what do you do to get your candidate known? How do you get the local newspaper and broadcast news to cover your candidate?

Rather than talking about things, non-traditional candidates must do things. What the candidate does is dependent on his or her issues.

Let’s use Donald Trump as an example. He supports better medical care for our veterans. He could have improved his approval ratings among both Republicans and Democrats had he talked less and… visited VA hospitals and talked with veterans about the care they receive. That’s news. It is worth coverage. It’s important to invite local reporters to accompany the candidate. It is also important to have carefully crafted questions to ask patients as well as VA hospital administrators. Not only does it get coverage, it strikes a chord with voters that this candidate really means what he or she says and is not just spouting words.

Donald Trump visited my Western Colorado home twice during his campaign. We have one of the best VA hospitals in the country. I have never heard a negative comment about it. He could have gained much support nationally by visiting the place for an hour, telling the public he wants to know what this hospital does that makes it so much better than other VA facilities. This kind of detailed communication must exist between the candidate and those working in counties in areas where candidates compete for votes — and publicity.

One of the first things you do once you establish people who volunteer to help your candidate get elected in various cities is create a questionnaire for volunteers to complete. Their answers should tell you about their city… what’s different about it, what government offices are located there, the average age of residents, etc. Pay attention to that information. Schedule publicity events (like visits to a VA Hospital) around those things that are part of the communities you visit. If a town has a large senior community, visit assisted care and hospice facilities, e.g. Talk with people. Ask them questions… ask them how you can help.

2. Spend your limited funds on things important to your base, not to you. For example, purchase (at a very low cost per copy) copies of the Constitution and pass them out at your campaign gatherings. By doing so, you make a statement about yourself that sticks with people.

Conservatives have three things in common: 1) They are constitutionalists; 2) They make decisions based on truth/facts; and 3) They support the Rule of Law that flows from the Constitution. They will love getting a copy of the Constitution to carry in their pockets or purses – especially if it has a brief message on page one from a political candidate.

3. Establish volunteers as committee chairmen and have them recruit four or five people to sit on those committees. What committees? What are your candidate’s issues? Use them pro-actively by establishing committees, one per issue.

top talking about the shameful Veterans Administration Hospitals and begin doing something about it. One suggestion was made above, but what else can you do?

Start with an 800 telephone number where vets in the state your candidate is running for office can call when they are not getting the quality care they have earned. Invite those who have received quality care to call, too. Create a questionnaire and have your Veterans committee volunteers contact those people having problems. Gather data (on computer). Report on results periodically. This is a very inexpensive exercise run by volunteers and offers maximum results. You will need a tech person to put it all together. Find a volunteer techie.

It is action rather than words. It is newsworthy. It gets your candidate known. Even more important, it positions your candidate as a person who takes action and makes it possible to reference your opposition as someone who talks but does nothing… takes no action on promises made.

If you are a law and order candidate (most conservatives are), recruit people who are known by the public to support the rule of law. You are surrounded by talent that can be put into action when you manage the campaign of a law and order candidate.

Have your law and order candidate coordinate volunteers in each county to answer an 800 number where all people of all races can report police abuse. Also invite those who have positive experiences with law enforcement to report what happened. This can be promoted on television and radio as public service announcements. Promise to look into negative incidents. Have volunteers contact those who make negative reports and create a questionnaire that will give your campaign information. Again, this is newsworthy. It gets your candidate known and is viewed positively by all members of the public, particularly minorities.

Does the candidate oppose gun control?

Establish a committee to coordinate a program with the National Rifle Association (if it has endorsed your candidate) to install an 800 number that accepts reports from people who have successfully used a firearm in self defense. Offer to share gathered data with the NRA.

Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self defense. They are used 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than they are to kill or injure others. That word is not getting out to the people and it needs to be publicized. This is newsworthy and it provides information voters will appreciate.

Does the candidate support responsible spending?

Establish a committee and an 800 number where people can call and give their experiences with irresponsible government spending. Instead of writing press releases about what a wonderful candidate you are, have a release written about the input you’re getting from those who have experienced negligent over-spending.

Do you get the drift? There are a lot of issues (energy, debt, regulations, medical care, Medicare, elder abuse, banking, etc.) that provide positive ways to get publicity and which portray candidates as do-ers rather than talkers. There are a lot of positive, inexpensive ways to get publicity for a candidate and they strike a positive note with voters who read about it.

Voters like candidates who do rather than talk. Each committee is announced at different times (several stories about a candidate’s establishment of a committee is better than one story that announces all of the committees at once). And, reporting the information provided to the committees by the public also generates good publicity.

The final element in running a campaign to elect a non-traditional candidate involves email, Twitter and social media like FaceBook and LinkedIn. If you’re planning on running against an elected politician in 2018, you need to start now. If you want your Tea Party or Liberty Action or Citizens For Liberty group to be involved in getting good candidates elected, you should have started doing what I suggest herein two years ago.

Get lists of names of people who are likely to support you during a Primary election… that would include all registered Republicans and, depending on your issues, Libertarians. Your first investment should be the purchase of lists of registered voters likely to vote for you. Your volunteers’ first phone call to them should be to ask if they would like to receive your email updates and Twitters about the election, get their addresses, and ask for their help.

Get one or two supporters to have a give-away contest that is promoted via email and Twitter. Give away a good gun or ammunition. When people register, you will automatically get their email addresses if the contest is promoted via email. Give away a training class for conceal carry (please note that the gifts are on topics of interest to conservatives). Get a local restaurant to give a Friday night special dinner to those who register for it… email address required. Use your imagination, but get started gathering Twitter and email addresses.

And that’s how you get non-traditional conservative candidates elected to office. I would suggest you make sure the candidate is really conservative… Colorado Tea Party groups supported Corey Gardner and we got a neo-conservative who is half liberal. How to do that? That’s another article.

At the end of Part1(last week) I said Part 2 would be about getting non-traditional candidates elected and why it’s good news that Hillary Clinton did not become our first female U.S. President. I was more thorough in this material than I intended to be… so I hope you enjoy Part 3: Hillary and the Electoral College (and the idiot protesters). Hopefully I’ll get it done by next Sunday.

As much as people refuse to believe it, the company you keep does have an impact and influence on your choices, and that my friends, is why Donald J. Trump will choose well. He just has to make sure everyone in his boat is rowing, and not drilling holes when he’s not looking.

Those of us who are long time researchers into people in politics know that Mr. Trump has chosen very well with some, and not so well with others, but wait and watch. We all must remember that this is the man who got himself elected, and knew how to do it. Right now, he’s like an angel in kindergarten, and he will make some mistakes, but he’s already rectified a couple, so hang on to your hats, because this man is a quick study! The Revolution has begun!

Three different groups of people ran his campaign, all of whom were excellent for the time he needed them. The democrat controlled media made hay out of it, and excoriated everything he did, insinuating that he was losing it by naming new people, when he knew exactly what he was doing. 

Matthew 10:6 often comes to mind when I think of the brilliance of our new President, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”

How many times our new President has proven to us that he has a plan, and we didn’t see it. His plan and his goals worked. He is our new President, despite the despicable lies spewed for months by the Democrat (read Clinton) controlled media.

Let’s look at some of his fabulous choices.

Nigel Farage and Trump

Don’t these two great guys look happy! By now we’ve all heard that Nigel Farage has joked about being President Trump’s Ambassador to the European Union. He should be Britain’s Ambassador to the United States, so we could get our bust of Churchill back in the White House! 

Link] Americans love Nigel, and so does Trump; he’s a terrific friend. 

Reince Priebus, Chief of Staff

Mike Savage is going crazy over the appointment of Reince Priebus as Chief of Staff. The nationally syndicated talk-radio host pledged to hold Trump’s feet to the fire and he is keeping his word, criticizing the appointment of Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus as White House chief of staff.

Steve Bannon for Chief Strategist

Dingy Harry says Trump must rescind his Steve Bannon appointment, but that isn’t going to happen Senator Reid! Trump has named Steve Bannon White House Chief Strategist, and as such, he and Reince Priebus will be working closely together to help President Trump.

As David Horowitz pointed out, the source for the claim that Bannon is anti-Semitic is “a one sentence claim from an angry ex-wife in divorce court no less, that Bannon didn’t want their kids to go to school with Jews.” Horowitz noted in response that Bannon had wanted to produce a Horowitz biopic: “I find that particularly amusing since Bannon wanted to make a film to celebrate this Jew’s life.”

CNN actually claimed that Bannon wrote an article about Bill Kristol entitled, Bill Kristol, a Renegade Jew. Their big mistake was that the article was actually written by David Horowitz, a fellow Jew, and Steve Bannon had nothing to do with it.

Pamela Geller has openly stated she stands with Bannon. She said, “I am fortunate to say that I have known and worked with Steve Bannon ever since the tragic passing of Andrew Breitbart. While he was at Breitbart, he would ask me to write articles on pressing issues — usually several times each week. Longtime readers who are deeply familiar with my work know that I am a fiercely proud Jew and unapologetic Zionist. As long as I have known Steve, he has been an unabashed supporter of Israel, and of those of us who fight against Jew-hatred and racism. Unequivocally. He is whip-smart, courageous, bold, and loyal.

Former Breitbart employee, Jeff Shapiro, said the same thing. [Link]

The Real Anti-Semites in the Democrat Party

Want to know where the real anti-Semites are? In your own party Harry Reid, and one in particular is now being considered for the Chair of the DNC. His name is Keith Ellison, and he is the Democratic Congressman from Minnesota. He is one of only two Muslims in Congress, the other being Indiana’s André Carson. Harry Reid has endorsed Ellison for this position over former Vermont Governor, Howard Dean.

From Robert Spencer at Frontpage Magazine comes the truth:

In 2008, Ellison accepted $13,350 from the Muslim American Society (MAS) to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Muslim American Society is a Muslim Brotherhood organization: “In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.”
That’s from the Chicago Tribune in 2004, in an article that is now carried on the Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language website, Ikhwanweb.

to – denounce Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist groups.

Hamas has declared: “Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah.” Ellison has spoken before several groups that have ties to Hamas, and has accepted money from a Muslim Brotherhood group; Hamas styles itself the Muslim Brotherhood for Palestine. Does Keith Ellison also, then, think that “killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah”? No establishment media “journalist” would ever dream of asking him that question, but it’s a fair one: Hamas repeatedly demonstrates genuine and murderous anti-Semitism, and Ellison has repeatedly shown himself willing and even eager to associate himself with Hamas-linked groups.

Lieutenant General Michael Flynn

The Field of Fight, to know he absolutely belongs in this role in the Trump administration.

Flynn, a highly decorated military intelligence officer, would serve as Mr. Trump’s principal point of contact with the State Department, the Pentagon and various U.S. intelligence agencies. Flynn left his position with the NIA, frustrated with working under the vacillations, aimless meandering and lack of a desire to win of the Obama White House. He became a vocal critic of the current White House after his departure.

Americans Voted Overwhelming for Trump

The entire map was red! Trump won the electoral college and the popular vote as well. The non-Partisan groups “Vote Stand” and “True the Vote” have just announced that they have completed an analysis of 180 million voter registrations, and have concluded that more than 3 million non-citizens voted on Election Day. [Link]

Just how much voter fraud occurred? We don’t know the answer to that, but we do know that the Trump campaign was all over the country watching. We also don’t know how many Chicago dead got up out of their graves to vote. It is my opinion, and it’s only an opinion, that had this been a totally honest election, blue would rarely have been seen on the map.

We won the election, and now we have to win the rest. The democrats are in dire straits, and that’s where we need to keep them. 

The Main Stream Media

Planned Parenthood is none-to-thrilled, nor impressed, by Donald J. Trump’s rise to the Presidency. They’ve been an ardent supporter of using protests to stop the billionaire mogul from achieving this position. And according to an article published on Fox News, they still are. 

There is a coordinated effort underway to create panic and unrest in America. The media is trying to sell us the line that the country is angry and upset over Trump’s election. Nothing could be further from the truth…they are selling another illusion.

Next, I want you to understand that these rioting, “heroes and patriots,” that the lying media are pushing and promoting as the greatest thing since 1776, are just a bunch of low-down, paid-for scum and thugs. They’re “Criminals.” 

And one more thing, once President Trump is sworn in, I hope he’ll send his Department of Justice after the likes of the scum openly endorsing the assassination of America’s new President.

Conclusion

I’ve been laughing at the number of anti-Trumpers marching through his office, Cruz, Romney, et al. The media is going bonkers reporting that these people may be appointed to a position in Trump’s administration. Most likely Trump is garnering support from factions who were against him, but he’s having fun doing it and watching the media guessing at what he’s up to. So far, Trump’s appointments have been skilled and well thought out…

Our blue-collar billionaire President, Donald J. Trump, will take only $1.00 per year in salary and very few vacations, if any. He says there’s a lot of work to be done, he’s so right!

Pray a hedge of protection around him, his family, and his administration. Pray for divine wisdom for this newly elected outsider. And pray for our country and her people.

Democrat Mayors in all those tiny little blue districts that lost the 2016 elections are revolting after the election and not just against the incoming administration or Donald Trump. They are revolting against the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Rule of Law, in a manner which amounts to sedition against all U.S. citizens. In a word, they are committing acts of treason!

Treason is defined in U.S. Law as “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason.”

In a column published in September of 2015, I explained the constitutional underpinning for “federal supremacy,” where it is in the Constitution, why it is there and what it does and does not mean.

In short, not everything the federal government does has the force of law behind it, much less supremacy over the states. But some things absolutely do, immigration and naturalization being one of those things.

Because Immigration and Naturalization is an exclusive enumerated power of Congress under Article I of the U.S. Constitution and Congress has established a uniform code for Immigration and Naturalization within that constitutional authority, these Federal Laws do indeed have “federal supremacy” over all states on the matter of immigration and naturalization.

Treason, Sedition and Subversion

Under 18 U.S. Code Chapter 115 – TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES – federal laws prevent anyone from committing acts of treason, sedition or subversive activities against the people of the United States.

• Sedition – “incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government.”
• Subversive activities – “seeking or intended to subvert an established system or institution.”
• Both of which are “acts of treason” against the U.S. Constitutional form of government.

According Department of Homeland Security documents, the list of sanctuary cities in America is much longer than most Americans know. Hundreds of U.S. cities have proclaimed themselves sanctuary cities, or taken a “don’t ask don’t tell” policy towards illegal migrants.

In the days following the 2016 elections, more than a dozen mayors have gone on television to thumb their noses at Federal Immigration Laws, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, all in protection of non-citizens who broke and entered into our country illegally. Each of these mayors was admitting their guilt by those statements, admitting that they had no intention of upholding and enforcing the Rule of Law in their cities and would instead, continue to commit acts of sedition, subversion and treason regardless of the outcome of the 2016 elections.

Further, several law enforcement agencies, such as the LAPD, have also stepped to a TV camera to go on record refusing to uphold or enforce U.S. Immigration Laws. Last, every news agency that has refused to report the truth on this subject by separating legal citizens from illegal migrants in their reporting and backing leftist mayors in these sanctuary cities is guilty of misprision of treason – “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.”

Leftist politicians, academics, lawyers and judges have for years proclaimed that “state nullification” of federal laws is “unconstitutional.” Yet in the case of these sanctuary cities, these mayors, city councils and governors are in fact abusing and overstepping their legal authority by unilaterally “nullifying” U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Laws within their cities and states.

It all adds up to anarchy placing the United States on the brink of civil war between the lawful and the lawless. These leftist Democrats are protecting, aiding, abetting and harboring fugitives from Federal Law, all because they have mistakenly bet their own political futures on illegal migrants, who are just about the only people left in America who still vote for them.

The incoming administration has much more to deal with than just securing our borders. They will have to secure numerous U.S. cities as well, allowed to become safe havens for illegal activities over the years, mostly by Democrat politicians in those areas.

The first step must be to place all on notice of intent to enforce our laws. Next, all federal funding to states that allow sanctuary cities to exist must cease immediately and until such time that state and local officials begin to respect the Rule of Constitutional Law again. Last, every elected, appointed or hired official that refuses to uphold and enforce the laws of this land are committing crimes and they can and must be charged, arrested and held legally accountable.

If we won’t enforce our laws, then we don’t have any laws. Without the Rule of Constitutional Law, we are not a secure sovereign nation. Where lawlessness exists, anarchy reigns and nobody is safe or secure.

It’s accountability time for these people who act against our citizens! It’s now or never!

Hopefully I can make you understand the manipulation, fraud and corruption and the people associated with our children’s education that has been in place for a very long time.

James Buchanan’s historical warning that inventing federal jurisdiction over educational matters would confer upon Congress a vast and irresponsible authority was ignored in 1862 during the early period of the southern insurrection. 

One of the biggest charmers who has been behind everything being their way and not for the benefit of the children has been the National Education Assoc. (NEA). Just last April they wrote a blog piece accusing everyone else of being responsible for problems with the charter schools and education in general “tracing it back to their advocacy and deep pockets.

Naming the Koch Brothers, Michelle Rhee and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and others as being those ahead of the “corporate education reform”, I can add Chester Finn, Jr., Gerard Robinson, Eric Smith, Sen. Lamar Alexander, the Bush Cabal, Eva Moskowitz and so many, many others.

Link]

When in the 80’s they created the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, the chairman, former North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt (who is now working along-side of Jeb Bush) described the board as the “linchpin of a larger strategy to effect the transformation of our nation’s schools. Teachers would be certified nationally (read starting at page 8 Marc Tucker’s “Tough Choices or Tough Times”) [Link]

From the beginning, a majority of the board members were also members of the NEA or AFT. One would do well to remember the words of past NEA Presidents: 

• Catherine Barrett – “We are determined to control the direction of education”
• George Fischer – “To determine who will enter, who will stay, and who will leave the profession”
• Helen Wise – “We must defeat those who oppose our goals”
• John Ryor – “We will become the foremost political power in the nation”

Every time there is a conference of some sort on how to solve our educational problems, most of the participants seem to be the very people who have been in leadership positions for the past 10-25 years while education has been going downhill. These people should be the very last that we look to for answers, but yet like a bad penny, they seem to continually end up in some position to give us their 2 cents and people listen.

If you go back to the 60’s our schools were pretty good, but then the progressive change agents told us we needed to experiment on ways to improve learning and we were already at the top of the heap. 

In 1989 people were beginning to wonder how the nation could have declined so far in such a short amount of time. The answer was really rather simple. Years before, John Dewey and the so-called “progressive educators” shifted their emphasis from academic basics such as reading, writing and math skills to a socialization process that was concerned with attitudes, relationships and feelings rather than academics. By the early 60’s the SAT scores has slowly begun to decline and “social promotions” began to come to the fore-front. Then you began to hear the call for nationalized education. 

In 1848 Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels presented the world with the Communist Manifesto. It should be important to you as a parent because this document calls for the loosening of our morals and to separate the children from our parents and religion – the very basis of this country.

They had laid out the groundwork of the “feel good”, “it’s all about me” generations to come. You must understand Communists are a patient breed willing to wait centuries to get their agenda in place. The first thing they had to do was decide the best way to carry it out and John Dewey and his education philosophy filled that bill.

The first “Red” scare came in the early 20th century with widespread fear of anarchy and Bolshevism due to real and imagined events as well as the worldwide stated goal of a communist revolution. Concerns over the effects of radical political agitation in American society and the alleged spread of communism and anarchism in the American labor movement fueled a general sense of paranoia.

In 1917 Congress passed the Espionage Act which made it a crime to interfere with the war effort or with military recruitment or to attempt to aid a nation at war with the U.S. This was followed by the Sedition Act in 1918 which actually falls under the former act and stated that people or countries cannot say negative things about the government or the war.

But the important thing to note here is Congress was aware that something was underfoot and they knew where it was coming from. 

The first mention of a deliberate “dumbing down” of our children through education came in 1928 with O.A. Nelson, a teacher, John Dewey and a behavioral psychologist named Edward Thorndike along with other CFR members while attending a Progressive Education Assoc. meeting (which was nothing but a Communist front). Nelson informed the group that the purpose of the “new math” (notice they have used this tactic several times) was to dumb down students. For years most Americans thought when they used the word “progressive” they meant for “betterment” and progress in education. The sole purpose of this group was to destroy our schools. Given the tone of things today, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised Nelson taught in Minnesota.

In 1931, John Hurley revealed the words of Paul Mantoux of Paris, France, “the builder of this new world must be education”. Mantoux a communist had aligned himself with likeminded individuals and the general American population was totally unaware of the steps being taken to “socialize” this country, especially by going through our schools and using our children.

In 1934, The Carnegie Corporation presented their Conclusions and Recommendations for the Social Studies and its Eight-Year Study. Many college professors were making trips back and forth from Russia having convinced themselves that the Soviet Communist system was the ultimate system to be used in America. In “Dare the School Build a New Social Order?This was the first time the control of America’s “property rights” was mentioned in regard that they could not continue and that all natural resources and all forms of important capital would have to be collectively owned. 

Make no mistake, those in the past and now currently (Pope Francis) who criticize our country in that by being a capitalist nation we are being selfish and not sharing enough of what we have with the poor are thinking with a communist , collective objective. The whole idea was to begin to make the world think “internationally” and what better way to do that than to use the mind of a child. Does this sound a little like Agenda 21/Sustainable Development/Global Warming?

It was about this time they started all these Foundations, Institutes, Committees, and the beginning of individuals within these entities setting policy rather than our elected legislators. It was also laying the groundwork for these groups to start using their influence through campaign donations. The groundwork had been laid and our children were the bait.

WWII was over and the prospect of communist subversion at home had risen to the surface of conversations all over America. For over 5 years Sen. Joe McCarthy tried to blow the whistle on the “leftist’s” working behind the scenes and expose communism for what it was and that it was here in our country already. The opposition worked extremely hard to ruin McCarthy. Edward R. Murrow’s exposés of McCarthyism played a major role in the Senator’s downfall. But McCarthy was right and Murrow in my mind was a traitor. 

To aid in this transition process came the progressive teachers who were willing to become “change agents”. Mind you, most if not all of these teachers also belonged to the NEA. Their purpose was to change attitudes and perceptions of the children – a very vigorous proactive social change kind of posture, a merging of radical education, deviant behavioral science, and humanistic democracy.

And you wondered how the morals of this country got destroyed!

Take a child in kindergarten to 2nd grade. The teacher, who is a change agent and has already taught them about a reading circle, tells the class to bring their chairs to the circle. She then proceeds to inform the kids they are going to form a new “family”, a school family if you will and everything we discuss here is to be a secret between you, the other children and myself.

Who do yo think is going to have the most influence on that child? The parents who only spend a few hours a day with them or the teacher? This change did not take place overnight, but the whole purpose was to change a child’s attitudes and perception from that of their parents to a new way of thinking.

A 1962 book published jointly by the NEA and the National Training Laboratory (NTL) entitled Five Issues in Training addressed the process of “unfreezing, changing, and refreezing” attitudes in order to bring about change.

Early in 1976, 85 top educational elite and an assortment of influential change agents met at an invitation only conference in Philadelphia to draft recommendations on how to put “Moral/Citizenship Education” (MCE) programs in every school in the country—public, private and parochial. Conference participants included Humanist values educators and representatives of the federal government, foundations, PTA, NEA and the National Council of Churches. Yes, the National Council of Churches too!

I do hope parents that along with Common Core you understand so did the National Sexuality Education Standards starting at Pre-K. Do you have any idea what they are teaching your children about sex, sex and the family and the so called different kinds of sexually based families? I wonder why it is they want our children to spend so much time focused on sex.

The NEA supports Common Core as does your National Parent Teacher Assoc. and Chambers of Commerce across the country – for money – from places like the Walton Family Foundation, Gates Foundation, Broad and others. The NEA sees the CCSS as a potential means of providing access to a complete and challenging Education For All!

That sounds rather familiar. Oh yes, UNESCO’s Education For All curriculum was supposed to have been in place all over the world by 2015 – in some countries it is not yet completed and in others, they have been using it since 2003. 

You still believe the NEA is not one of the bad guys? Last July at their annual convention, the NEA declared an all-out war on American families and children, with their latest actions to be a broadening and supporting of the homosexual and transgender movement.

Teachers are instructed to follow the reasoning that there is no real sexuality and children have the “right” to choose whatever they want to be even if you are only 5 or 6.

Name the “reform” , any reform – vouchers, cyber-schools, rapid charter school expansion, teacher ‘tenure’, sexuality, or morals – and it won’t take you long to trace it back to these people’s advocacy and deep pockets.

Don’t get pulled into believing that it is only a few “big pockets” involved in this or that it is a simple thing they under took. It is far reaching and subtle – like introducing your children to GAIA as a “natural science” in their Science books which was first presented by Maurice Strong of the UN and he and his buddies have treated GAIA as a form of religion.

Those behind the push for the growth of your children’s immorality, incited by billionaires who see school rooms not as a learning place for your children’s futures, but as a means to their end – and their end is a NWO. They don’t give one red penny about your children no matter what they say and that goes for some of our legislators who are playing with them for money.

Be vigilant, check those backpacks daily and go back to everyone eating dinner at the table together and talk – ask questions and foremost listen. Make it your job to know who your child’s teacher is, how long and where he or she has taught school, are they certified and have they ever had any complaints filed against them. If you move the same goes for the principal.

Parents must take back their schools, you are after all paying for it and your children’s futures are depending on it.

And one last thing and I can never ask this question often enough. We have been told how bad our traditional public schools are – well if they are so bad why is it the Charter schools are the schools which are failing at such a fast pace with low evaluations or under the gun for fraud and or corruption?

Deliberate Dumbing Down
2- Dennis Cuddy, Ph.D.

Part 2: Islam’s march across America and the West

Prominent historian Bromwell Ault speaks to readers across 80 years of observing the American landscape. He notes with extreme caution the dilemma of mass immigration and various incompatible cultures injecting themselves into the American way of life.

Could you give us an idea Mr. Ault as to the long-term ramifications of Muslims and the Islamic faith being imported into America in ever-greater numbers?

“Before engaging the argument of Islam’s place in America and, by extension,” said Ault. “In western civilization there is one essential, but rarely recognized, aspect of culture that should be made clear. Cultures can be, and have been, changed by individual efforts or actions; and by relatively small groups when a few individuals combine their forces.

“Ours is an age of technology ascendant in which basic forms of reporting news and opinion such as local newspapers, magazine and radio stations have been bought, combined and transformed into our mainstream media (MSM) complex to market an array of services or products capable of generating large and ongoing revenues. No longer dominated by their original attitudes and entities, they now comprise the personal, social, political and economic directions that guide our culture.

“In view of this existential transformation of our public media by technology and the combination of its ownership, it is important to restate that cultures (even ours) can be changed by individual efforts/actions.

“No two cultures are the same and all cultures, regardless of similar or identical origins, locations, or histories, show significant differences. And, while we generally think of cultures in terms of a mass rather than an individual scale, we have altered them more often and more significantly than we allow ourselves to admit.

“History offers some interesting examples such as the three extraordinary cultural shifts that occurred in Europe in the hundred years from 1450 to 1550. The first was Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press and moveable type in 1456; the next was Martin Luther’s posting of his theses to reform the Catholic Church.”

THE ISLAMIC MISSION

“First, before venturing into the many difficult areas of risk posed by our cultural engagement with Islam, we must make two things clear,” said Ault. “We believe unequivocally that anyone who comes to America has the right to the free exercise of religion as expressed brief promise has generated a long and intense political, legal and religious argument over its meaning and application.

“Our view and, we think, that of our founders is that religious faith is both a personal matter of multiple characteristics that de ne an individual and also a matter of belief that one is entitled to hold in an open society such as ours. Worship is something else, as it involves the expression of faith in small or large groups beyond the individuals’ borders.

“As most faiths proclaim unique elements/attitudes of divine origins, their peaceful coexistence can be problematic, and even impossible, when their expression requires the restriction or elimination of others.

“As a practical matter we feel that our Constitution guarantees the right to believe but does not guarantee the exercise of that belief if it limits or denies other beliefs, or harms their holders and/or the general public. We think this concept is absolutely basic to an understanding of our democratic government and to many of the thorny issues that have derived from it.

“Our second point of clarification is that contemporary Islam is very much a “mixed bag” of different sects, tribes, economies, boundaries, purposes and degrees of “religious purity”. The most evident confrontation within Islam is between the Arab Sunni Saudi monarchy and the Persian Shiite Iranian theocracy, but there are other lesser ones that have played supporting roles in Islam’s recent rise and challenge to WCIV. Tribes in the Near East (NE) are smaller in population but longer in existence than many of the region’s nations, which have only been created in the past century. As they are divided by a host of local, religious and economic issues, which seem beyond the reach of their governments to solve, the possibility of state collapse is always present.

“The Islam we face today is composed of so many shades, sizes and shapes in constant motion that we are unable to clearly identify their numbers or identity. As a result, we must use the broader term of Islam in referring to both the many parts of the Muslim political process and to expanding Islam as a cultural threat to America and WCIV.

“Islam, through its texts, proclamations, practices and behavior, contradicts our American culture across a wide range of its values and purposes. This is important because it has been true throughout our existence. We have neither the authority nor the means to divide Islam into component parts that can be absolved or held responsible for the very basic differences between our cultures, a tactic favored by multi-culturalists here and elsewhere.

“The important task for our time and government is to recognize the dangers that confront us and let the American people decide whether they should be resisted. Threats to national sovereignty/security can come in multiple forms — military, political, commercial, technological, social and cultural, all ready to be recorded by history.

“Any assumption that Islam can be assimilated into a wider world culture runs counter to everything Islam has claimed as its mission since its founding. It is what it is, and that has been, and still can be, aggressive. Expansive Islam is not part of an ecumenical community of like-minded equals. It is not just another religion we could easily add to our mostly Judeo-Christian mix. It is a controlling faith bent on ordering laws, culture and worship in ways that leave little or, mostly, no room for individuality.

And, where differences of opinion arise, we should expect no discussion groups, as persuasion and enforcement are often one and the same. So again we are faced with the question — “Where, how and by whom will the line of separation between moderate and aggressive Islam be drawn?”

“In America we have come to regard our long history of safety as a God-given right that will always protect us from the loss of territorial and cultural integrity indicated by most wars. And, while modern weaponry is shrinking our safety zone, Islam has a God and energy of its own, which it is in the process of reasserting in both the East and West.

“Returning to our concern for our culture and knowing that it can be influenced and changed by conscious individual or group efforts, we must be aware that Islam’s greatest threat to the U.S. is not on the battle fields of the NE but within the vaguely drawn boundaries of our culture. Very few people recognize the present danger that expanding Islam poses to our traditional cultural identity.”

An Open Letter to Mr. Trump [Link]

Donald Trump is victorious. We are thankful and glad that Hillary, and the Hillary shills, are not going to quickly move Obama’s agenda forward like she had planned. Mr. Trump dealt her an obvious blow and the citizens of America confirmed loudly, “Not so fast, Hillary.”

But, Mr. Trump, did you know that President Obama helped Hillary Clinton to accomplish HillaryCare goals? It is through Executive Orders and ESEA Flexibility Waivers!

Mr. Trump, did you know HillaryCare is already ObamaCare for children ages 0-21? It is through the medicalization of our schools including daycare centers!! President Obama had everything stacked in Hillary’s favor. He even laid a foundation that would launch her presidency to new heights.

Now, President-Elect Trump, it is high time to turn these tides! Mr. Trump, I respectfully submit the following facts for you to consider:

The HillaryCare plan of 1994 for children was completed and legislated in the new federal education law called ESSA, Every Student Succeeds Act. The Common Core education agenda was officially merged with ObamaCare December of 2015. These specific steps that President Obama, with the Republican Congress, took to satisfy all of the conditions needed to move forward to completely merge healthcare and education, could come crashing down if you, Mr. Trump, analyze these facts and recognize the depths of destruction being heaped on our nation’s schools, teachers, and children. [Source]

Mr. Trump did you know that President Obama Used An Executive Order 12866 To Change The Privacy Law, FERPA? The privacy rights of America’s children and their families is being violated!

President Obama issued Executive Order 12866 without Congressional authority that illegally allowed outside vendors access to our children’s personally identifiable information. This was done by reversing and weakening the Family Education Rights in Privacy Act, FERPA. Obama also set up expansive state longitudinal data systems (SLDS) to collect individual psychometric data (psychological information) on American citizens from “womb to workplace.” This was done via assigning students a unique national ID.

Datamining on American’s children commenced immediately, scrapping individual and family privacy protections. Thus “unlocking” data has been swindled from state education-collection data warehouses for “free”. This data release paved the way for the development of intrusive curricula and software, and the computer monitoring of a child’s affective domain (emotions, feelings, attitudes, beliefs). These were developed and aligned to the Common Core standards.

Obama betrayed parents and did not protect our children from predators. Children became a commodity, often derogatorily referred to as “human capital” by education reform elites. Common Core curriculum is being used today to change our American children over to believing in principles that are anti-American. For example, the students you have seen picketing in the streets have never been taught the basics of American civics – a key indication of the success of the liberal goals of education reform for over a generation now.

Mr. Trump, did you know that President Obama used illegal ESEA Flexibility Waivers to get control of teachers and children in the classroom? [Source: Part 1], [Source: Part 2]

President Obama added psychological standards! ESEA Flex Waivers expanded Common Core to include social, emotional, and behavioral standards, or mental health/personality “defects” as I have previously reported in numerous articles. But, remember, these affective domain psychological conditioning standards are illegal to use on children. They violate federal law and had been removed in 1990 in Pennsylvania when I filed my federal complaint against the illegal state assessment, the EQA. Pennsylvania was forced to retract the test and remove the psychological standards. But Former Governor Corbett had also been forced to remove the non-academic Interpersonal Skills in 2014 when he was confronted with the illegal standards being slipped in once again by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. [Source]

Mr. Trump, did you know that President Obama dropped and manipulated poverty guidelines? The Obama regime previously used the ESEA Flexibility Waivers to illegally manipulate and lower the poverty guidelines under Title I for ALL children to come under the umbrella of “SCHOOLWIDE”. ALL children are now considered At-Risk/Title I children and they are being identified in the federal data banks as needing psychological interventions. So Title I sorted schools and children into who would need “turnaround” and behavioral conditioning. Because of this, America’s schools are being targeted for change while principals and teachers are forced to commit to Common Core–or resign. Teachers are being forced to teach Common Core with its illegal psychological standards that children must achieve—without proper credentials and licensing to perform these psychological techniques on America’s children.

Mr. Trump, did you know that President Obama implemented psychological interventions in the classroom as part of the old HillaryCare? This is an astonishing and alarming fact. America’s children are being barraged with prison-like reward and punishment techniques that hearken back to the old BF Skinner operant conditioning methods, where ALL their behavior is monitored, even on phone apps. Special Education-funded teams are scavenging the classrooms using CHILD FIND to place more and more children under the Common Core/Mental Health/ HillaryCare agenda. Schools are preparing to rake in the “free” money under this scheme of identifying children as disabled in order to bill Medicaid. This is a scam! The more children identified, the more money the schools can clamor for.

The psychological interventions and conditioning continue, and intensive Response to Interventions (RTI) becomes more potent, as children are “remediated” until they change their attitudes and beliefs to match these outrageous standards. Specific psychological interventions were included and named in the ESSA legislation mandated from federal legislation. The following illegal psychological methods are being used in the classrooms of America: Response to Interventions, Multi-Tiered System of Supports, Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports, Specialized Student Support Systems, and Universal Design for Learning. [Source 1], [Source 2]

Mr. Trump, did you know that ObamaCare is the right place to analyze Common Core and Medicaid? That this is transforming the Medicalization of Schools? [Source]

Medicaid in the schools will expand dramatically under Hillary’s Mental Health/Health agenda and ESSA where schools apply for partial hospitalization licenses to bill Medicaid. States will have to grapple with the expansive measures of every child receiving Medicaid Mental Health benefits billowing and surging under Common Core and IDEA (Special Education.)

Mr. Trump, do not miss this point! Psychological manipulations have replaced academics in America’s classrooms. Datamining is rampant, and parental privacy fears continue to mount. Thanks to Obama and Hillary there is an Education Stasi looming, a government-funded system of surveillance over our nation’s precious children.

Hillary’s plan continues to move forward even though she was defeated. We know that President Obama and the Republican RINOS made it happen. Republican Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican Congressman Kline, and Republican Speaker Paul Ryan were the few who steadfastly made Hillary’s plan a codified reality. We parents and citizens who care about America’s children will not forget their names.

President-Elect Trump, you have a big job. And I hope you attack this issue BIGGLY.

We citizens are requesting to meet with you. We are the parents and researchers who helped to elect you to correct these dastardly deeds. And it is you, Mr. Trump, and you alone, who can help American children fulfill their God-given right to live in this country free from manipulation of federal control. The future of our children is depending on you!

Our children are normal American children who are being identified as needing psychological interventions because they are “too Americanized”. They are too independent. They are too patriotic. They love God, family, and country…. just like you, Donald J. Trump!

Please, Mr. Trump. Give parents the chance to let you know what is happening in our local schools, to our children, and to our beloved country.

Anita’s Note to Readers:

I have outlined in the one page statement below, what I would tell President-Elect Trump if I had one hour to explain what this agenda is all about. I am sure that the documentation provided will lead to other questions: state’s rights when Title I funding following the child bypasses state budgets used for so-called “CHOICE”; or what happens when charter schools are expanded to for-profit investors in our neighborhoods who soak up local tax money that should be poured into our public schools; or what happens to private and religious schools that have Education Savings Accounts, ESA, Title I /CHOICE children applying to their schools. Plus the privacy issue and datamining issues hang over the country. Will Mr. Trump void the Executive Order 12866 and close FERPA loopholes that allow personally identifiable information (PII) to be shared with outside vendors?

Can Mr. Trump stop the datamining? Can he stop Common Core? Can he stop the psychological abuse in the classrooms? Can he save our children? You can act! Your voice continues after the election! You must help inform Trump of this. You can’t count on the Establishment Right to educate the president. Your job is just starting.

Many meetings may need to take place to explain the expansive role of the federal government into our lives and the Power Elites’ goal to nationalize education. I call it, “Roll Back, time.” Please, American Citizens! Tell Mr. Trump to give parents the chance to let him know what is REALLY happening in our local schools, to our children, and to our beloved country! Tell him to hear the facts! A Mr. Trump forewarned is a president forearmed against the Education Establishment Elites who have brought us these disasters.

How To Begin “Roll Back, Time.”

If I had one hour with Donald Trump, what would I tell him? I would explain the 3 illegal maneuvers and results that President Obama did to hijack our educational system away from being the greatest educational system in the world… toward globalism.

1. I would explain how Common Core nationalized the standards, curriculum, and teacher training. I would tell how this is all controlled through a federal bureaucracy which forces traditional academic education to be dumped, replacing it with the behavioral conditioning of our children.
2. I would explain how the national education data system collects personally identifiable information on our families and children, thus creating value, attitude, and disposition dossiers called mental health psychometrics that will be used against citizens.
3. I would explain the Obama Executive Order 12866 and the Obama ESEA Flexibility Waiver that created multiple, illegal atrocious actions.

The Illegal Obama’s Executive Order 12866 and ESEA Flex Waiver:

• Obama changed FERPA, Family Education Rights in Privacy Act, with his Executive Order so that children’s data could be shared (free) with big business to validate curriculum, software, phone apps, and textbooks, conforming to Common Core psychological standards including the areas of social, emotional, and behavioral (mental health) criteria. Datamining proliferates.

• Obama created a state longitudinal data system so EVERY STATE must conform to the SAME data elements by collecting private, sensitive information about the attitudes, values, beliefs, and dispositions of our nation’s individual children and families:

• Obama initiated a national ID for every child and every teacher that identifies each individual in the federal system. This process cross-references personal information into future decision making to ensure everyone conforms to Common Core, especially teachers.

• Obama initiated the teaching of a dangerous mental health, non-academic curriculum called “social, emotional, and behavioral interventions.” This is designed to change the attitudes, values, beliefs, and dispositions of America’s children–validated as “effective” for behavioral change.

• Obama forced teachers to become trained in experimental and psychological techniques to be used on normal children to mold them into followers. This destroys the American ethic through constant intrusive psychological interventions and politically-correct remediation of their values, beliefs, and attitudes. Turnaround schools is a focus.

• Obama pushed these behavioral conditioning and value changing techniques by using Special Education, IDEA, to identify label our children as being “disabled” through government-controlled mental health criteria. Here is where normal American children are a target. Their futures are in jeopardy. This is why we must speak out.

• Obama changed the poverty level to 0% so he could apply these techniques to ALL children, called “SCHOOLWIDE” in Title I, which is being applied in the new ESSA federal education law. Common Core is manifesting and duplicating itself across the country to every child.

• Obama will merge EDUCATION with OBAMACARE through MEDICAID billing in schools for all Common Core mental health disabilities by applying for a partial hospitalization license.

• Every child identified for Medicaid mental health interventions would have a DSM MENTAL HEALTH CODE put on their permanent record. This is the backdoor plan (Hillary’s original plan in 1993) to REMOVE 2nd AMENDMENT GUN RIGHTS in the United States. Our American children are in danger. The system has been set-up before Mr. Trump ran for President. [Link]

While many people are taking bows for Donald Trump’s ascension to the U.S. Presidency, millions of supporters are voicing their requests on social media for President Trump to grant a full pardon to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange considering his role in releasing emails that strongly suggested a hotbed of corruption linked to Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Despite battling his opponent’s campaign team and surrogates, the Democratic National Committee, the majority of print and broadcast news outlets, George Soros funded political-activist organizations, and the majority of those “big names” working in the entertainment and sports industries, the GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump was aided by some of the most surprising people and groups. And arguably the most helpful in his victory over the Democratic Party’s “sainted” Hillary Clinton was the notorious creator of Wikileaks, Julian Assange.

Releasing a barrage of material hacked from the computer systems of the Democratic National Committee and that which belonged to Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta, Assange was successful in practically drowning the nation in material that exposed the inner-workings of a corrupt, dishonest, cynical and sometimes criminal political operation. While the Clinton supporters in the media — some even admitted their culpability — attempted to spin or minimize the flood of allegations that resulted from Assange’s material, somehow the message got through to tens of millions of voters: Hillary Clinton was unfit to Command.

“President-elect Donald Trump is being called upon by several people on social media to grant pardon to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange considering the latter’s role in releasing controversial emails linked to Democrat Hillary Clinton.”

Julian Assange, the editor-in-chief of one of the world’s most prolific whistleblower organizations, is being investigated in the Bradley Manning — now named Chelsea Manning after a sex-change operation — case and the U.S. government has requested for his extradition to answer for his crimes of stealing classified information.

During the late part of the 2016 presidential election cycle, Assange’s WikiLeaks released tens of thousands of pages of emails from Clinton’s home-cooked, private server, the database from the Democratic National Committee offices, and Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta. Many of Trumps supporters — and even his hate filled enemies — are claiming Trump’s win is the result of leaked emails that led to disappointment in Hillary Clinton’s suitability to lead the nation already crippled by eight years of a rudderless administration.

Australian legislator Pauline Hanson, the leader of the country’s conservative party, released a statement requesting Trump to grant a full pardon to Assange who started his career as Australian computer programmer.

“It isn’t immediately clear how a U.S. president can grant a pardon to Assange when he is actually wanted in Sweden over sexual assault charges. Actually, U.S. law enforcement officials have not charged Assange with anything,” said former police investigator Tony LaBonna. “The U.S. could offer him asylum, but that may become a political time bomb for a President who faces an angry news media who want him to fall flat on his face,” LaBonna said.

“Julian clearly helped his cause and Trump is a loyal guy (supposedly). Julian is a hero not a criminal,” one Facebook member wrote in a discussion.

Conservatism, we are told, is out-of-date. This charge is preposterous and we ought to boldly say so. The laws of God, and of nature, have no dateline. These principles are derived from the nature of man, and from the truths that God has revealed about His creation. To suggest that the Conservative philosophy is out of date is akin to saying that the Golden Rule, or the Ten Commandments or Aristotle’s Politics are out of date. —Barry Goldwater, Conscience of a Conservative 1960

Keeping Faith

Pat Buchanan recently stated, “Donald Trump should be magnanimous and gracious toward those whom he defeated this week, but his first duty is to keep faith with those who put their faith in him. And that means he has to choose outsiders, and choose them from outside the beltway. There are a few who are wonderful, Jeff Sessions, General Michael Flynn, Duncan Hunter, Jr., Rudy Giuliani, and others, but for the most part the beltway is full of establishment globalists.

America, the only nation ever founded in the name of liberty, never had a more ardent champion of liberty than Barry Goldwater. Simply put, Goldwater was in love with freedom. I never thought I’d see another man like Senator Goldwater, but now I have. Goldwater always spoke his mind no matter who was listening, and he was an ardent supporter of the Constitution and very limited government. 

Fifty-two years later, we have a new President who is very much like Barry Goldwater. He has given up a lifestyle of ease, comfort, joy, and time with his family to try to save our country. Why? Because he, like Goldwater, is in love with freedom, and he wants to keep it for all Americans. But he’s not a politician, so he really needs input from the grassroots.

By the way, Donald J. Trump also won the popular vote! [Link] And he took Michigan too! Electoral count, 306 to 232. 

President Trump’s Cabinet Choices

Many of the cabinet choices are excellent, and many of them are outsiders, but then there are a few who I wish were not on the list at all, and I wonder who is even doing any research on these candidates. Several of the choices truly scare me to death. Diane Kepus did a full review of the candidates in her recent article, and it is superb.

I actually wish our new President elect, would call on people with years of experience who are real outsiders. 

Right here in Knoxville, TN, we have a former sheriff with 33 years of law enforcement, who was trained in counter-terrorism in Israel, has managed a number of major disasters, is an FAA licensed helicopter pilot, FBI Certified Anti-Sniper, FBI Certified Hostage Negotiator, FBI Certified Instructor, FBI Advanced Firearms Instructor, and so much more that it would take pages to list. Here he is with our new President back whenTrump visited Knoxville, TN, and Hutchison headed up his security.

Not only that, but this former Sheriff was a Trump delegate to the Convention, and for 17 months worked for our new President-elect managing East Tennessee at his own expense. He would be perfect for the Department of Homeland Security!

But let’s take a look at one TN globalist on the list for Secretary of State…

Establishment Senator Bob Corker

If Senator Bob Corker joins the cabinet of President-elect Donald Trump, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam would appoint a replacement to fill the U.S. Senate seat he would leave behind. Bob Corker and Governor Haslam are two peas in a pod. Haslam campaigned in 2010 as a conservative Christian, which is a total oxymoron. 

As a matter of fact, ten days before the presidential election, Haslam publicly stated that Trump should drop out of the race. Then he told Tennessee, whose delegates went to Trump, that he did not vote for Trump. It’s what we’ve come to expect from this ultra-wealthy governor who spent $20 million to get elected in 2010. Both these men masquerade as something they are not. True conservative Tennesseans know that both Haslam and Corker are establishment globalists. Corker’s votes expose him.

Bailout Bob

American citizens fail every day, and we’re never bailed out, why are big corporations? Too big to fail is another lie from the pit. [Link]

Corker and Veterans

Although a bill to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system received nearly unanimous support in the U.S. House and Senate back in 2014, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, voted against the measure twice.

Those voting in favor of the bill included U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee, and all nine members of the state delegation in the U.S. House, Republicans and Democrats.

The act, in its final form, would cost $16.3 billion. Included in that amount is $10 billion to allow veterans to receive care outside of the VA system under certain conditions, $5 billion for the VA to hire more medical personnel and $1.3 billion for leasing of 27 medical facilities in 18 states and Puerto Rico.

Link]

So, Bob Corker voted against one of the exact policies Donald Trump has put forward!

Corker and Amnesty

While 21 other Senators stood up and voted with Cruz, 28 Senators who had previously come out against executive amnesty voted in favor of fully funding it, including Corker. [Link]

Corker and the Muslim Brotherhood

Along with Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida, in late 2015, Sen. Cruz introduced legislation calling on the Obama administration to designate the Islamist political group, Muslim Brotherhood, as a foreign terrorist organization.

The bill, called the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, came after a string of evidence suggested the group supports terrorism, and after similar moves from a handful of foreign countries in recent years.

“As this bill detailed, the Brotherhood’s stated goal is to wage violent jihad against its enemies, and our legislation is a reality check that the United States is on that list as well,” Cruz said in a statement.

Terrorism expert, Patrick Poole, wrote that the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker, had not even held hearings on the bill, much less arranged for it to be voted on. Bob Corker refused to act on a bill, that would not only be useful, but that would have caused Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama a great deal of discomfort. [Link]

Doesn’t much match up with Trump’s policies, does it?!

Corker and the Path to Citizenship

Here’s who voted for this “path to citizenship” bill. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) Jeff Chiesa (R-N.J.) Susan Collins (R-Maine) Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) Dean Heller (R-Nev.) John Hoeven (R-N.D.) Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) John McCain (R-Ariz.) Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and of course, Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). [Link] Same old bunch, isn’t it?

This certainly is not one of President Trump’s policies.

Corker Rejects Blocking Arms to Saudis

In September of 2016, a bill to block a huge American arms deal to Saudi Arabia failed to pass in the Senate. Lawmakers voted 71-27 to table Senate Joint Resolution 39.

The bill would have halted a $1.15 billion sale of hundreds of U.S.-made tank structures, machine guns, grenade launchers and armored vehicle structures, along with thousands of rounds of ammunition, to Saudi Arabia.

Sen. Corker opposed the bill. He joined several other lawmakers in arguing that the U.S. should help Saudi Arabia in order to “balance the power” in the Middle East against Iran. Corker also claimed that U.S. weapons can help the Saudi monarchy “fight terrorism.” [Link]

Foreign Workers and Refugees

Remember these Omnibus bills that were so horrendous? In 2015, Bob Corker voted for the FY2016 Omnibus Spending bill to increase foreign workers and refugees. Corker also voted in favor of H.R. 2029, the Omnibus Spending bill for 2016. This legislation increased the number of H-2B low-skilled, non-agricultural guest worker visas issued in 2016 from 66,000 to 264,000. It also increased funding for refugee resettlement to allow for an increase of 10,000 refugees in 2016.

No, this doesn’t match up with President Trump’s policies either.

Corker and the Iran Bill

Along with 98 other Senators, Bob Corker voted to pass the Corker Iran bill despite the fact that it cedes treaty power in regard to this Iran nuclear deal to Obama. 

Thanks to the efforts of Tennessee’s Bob Corker, the Obama Iran deal passed, and Corker was the one who cast the deciding 60th vote. Read all about his betrayal at Breitbart. The cost to the American taxpayer in not only in the billions of tax dollars given to one of the top terrorist promoting countries, but it endangers the entire middle east as well as the West.

Social Security and Medicare

Donald Trump says he’ll save Social Security and Medicare, and why shouldn’t he, we’ve paid into it all our working lives, and we still pay taxes on social security, not once, but twice. We pay into it with pre-taxed dollars, and then guess what, we get to pay taxes on it again after we retire and get it back. How very nice of the government to double tax us.

As for Medicare, all of us who have worked since 1965 have paid into Medicare. So, why does Senator Bob Corker want it classified as welfare when it is not? WE PAID FOR IT…IT IS OUR MONEY. Corker is attacking senior groups for protecting organizations for not supporting his legislation setting a Medicare Kill Switch with arbitrary spending caps, or the GOP/Ryan Budget bill which Senator Corker voted for or even means-testing the programs, turning them into welfare programs. [Link]

Conclusion

economic rescue bill and emphasized that the bill is about Main Street, not Wall Street, more double speak. He also voted for the New Start nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia that Obama promoted. This was a deal Hillary Clinton loved. And, don’t forget the rotten bipartisan Energy Reform Act of 2008.

There’s plenty more this left leaning Republican has voted for which is anathema to the policies of our newly elected President Trump. 

Hope Mr Trump remembers that.

[NOTE: The opinion in this article is the opinion of the author and is not necessarily the opinion of NewsWithViews.com, it’s employees, representatives, or other contributing writers.]

Now that Donald Trump has won the presidential election, most of the people who voted for him (along with most of the rest of the world) are breathing a huge sigh of relief. As I wrote earlier, a Hillary Clinton presidency was not only a threat to whatever liberties the American people have left, it was a threat to the peace and stability of the entire planet. Except for the radical protesters (most of whom did not even vote in the election and many of whom were paid to riot) who are making royal jackasses out of themselves in Portland, Oregon, and California, the perverts in Hollywood, and the presstitutes in the mainstream media, most of the nation (and the world with maybe the exception of China and Saudi Arabia) is feeling REALLY GOOD about the election.

However, I want to caution Trump supporters that the last thing they can afford to do right now is what conservatives normally do after a Republican wins the White House: go into a deep state of complacency. With the exception of stopping another Clinton from obtaining the White House (yes, that is HUGE), a Trump election accomplishes nothing. It is not the candidate, Donald Trump, that is going to govern from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It is the president, Donald Trump, that will govern. And what kind of president Trump will make is yet to be seen.

I well remember when George W. Bush was elected President. The entire conservative, Christian, and Republican worlds fell into a state of extended hibernation. And G.W. Bush went on to trample more of our constitutional liberties than Bill Clinton and Barack Obama combined. This could only happen because he faced no resistance from the Republican Party or Christians and conservatives in general. They were sound asleep.

If the people who supported Donald Trump go to sleep now, there will be no going back. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the course of a nation. Frankly, if this opportunity is squandered, there likely will not be another one in most of our lifetimes.

Now, before getting to the meat of this column, let me digress and say this: as much as I despise the whole left-right, conservative-liberal paradigms, there is no question that the globalists are currently going all out to manipulate radical leftists into trying to undermine the will of the American people and institute their socialist, anti-freedom agenda by any means necessary.

For example, when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were elected, conservative, constitutionalist, “right wing” people did not riot in the streets, burn down buildings, attack police officers, and threaten to sabotage the Electoral College or call for Clinton or Obama’s assassination. Yet that is exactly what the radical left (inspired by ultra-America haters such as George Soros, many university faculties, and many in the mainstream media) are now doing. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is constantly telling the media and police agencies across the country that it is conservative, right-wing, Christian people who pose America’s biggest threat. But in fact, the opposite is true. Look at how the radical left is behaving: Soros and the mainstream media are fueling the fires of prejudice, hatred, and violence–and the SPLC is saying ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

The only thing I will say in response to all of these attempts at intimidation, coercion, and violence being perpetrated by these radical leftists is, if they truly want to see what would happen when conservative, God-fearing, patriotic Americans are brought to a state of righteous indignation, just let them attempt to stop the Electoral College from confirming Donald Trump as President on December 19.

At no time in American history has the Electoral College ever failed to confirm a presidential candidate who won the required electoral votes in the general election. These delegates take an oath to confirm the vote of the people of their states in the general election in the Electoral College. And if scumbags such as George Soros or the media elite are allowed to pull off a coup and somehow manipulate the delegates of the Electoral College into doing otherwise in 2016 (and thereby destroy our constitutional form of government), the people (along with citizens within law enforcement [federal and State], National Guard, etc.) of this country would be morally, spiritually, and ethically justified in demanding that the respective states whose electoral votes went to Trump count the unconstitutional vote of a faithless Electoral College as null and void and enforce the results of the November 8 elections by any means necessary–including leaving the Union if this breach of constitutional government was allowed to stand. If liberals and socialists want to start another civil war, that’s a good way to do it.

And while I’m on this subject, since Donald Trump was elected, many people in the states of California, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington are proceeding with citizen initiatives to secede from the United States and become part of Canada. Imagine a country without California! Hallelujah! I always envisioned liberty-minded states seceding, but if the socialists in California, Portland, Las Vegas, and Seattle want to take the initiative, I AM ALL FOR THEM. And while they are at it, I wish they would take Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York City, Baltimore, and Chicago with them. Those places have been a thorn in the side of liberty long enough.

But back to my point: this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the course of a nation. And the people who turned the political and media establishments on their ear on November 8 just CANNOT afford to become lethargic and complacent because Trump won.

After my post-election column last week, a lady wrote to me and said, “I have confidence he [Trump] plans to do what is best for the country.” With all due respect, I don’t! I agree wholeheartedly with Thomas Jefferson. He said, “In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

If Donald Trump is going to be anything more than just another say-anything-to-get-elected phony, he is going to have to put raw elbow grease to his rhetoric. His talk got him elected, but it is going to be his walk that is going to prove his worth.

And, as I wrote last week, the biggest indicator as to whether or not he is truly going to follow through with his rhetoric is who he selects for his cabinet and top-level government positions. So far, he has picked Reince Priebus as White House chief of staff and Stephen Bannon as White House chief strategist.

Reince Priebus is an establishment insider. He did NOTHING to help Trump get elected until toward the very end of the campaign. He is the current chairman of the Republican National Committee. If that doesn’t tell you what he is, nothing will. Trump probably picked him because he is in so tight with House Speaker Paul Ryan (a globalist neocon of the highest order) and the GOP establishment, thinking Priebus will help him get his agenda through the GOP Congress. But ideologically, Priebus does NOT share Trump’s anti-establishment agenda. So, this appointment is a risk at best and a sell-out at worst.

On the other hand, Stephen Bannon is probably a very good pick. He headed Breitbart.com, which is one of the premier “alt-right” media outlets that has consistently led the charge against the globalist, anti-freedom agenda of the political establishment in Washington, D.C. Albeit, Bannon is probably blind to the dangers of Zionism and is, therefore, probably naïve about the New World Order. I don’t believe anyone can truly understand the New World Order without being aware of the role that Zionism plays in it.

To be honest, the possible appointments of Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christie, John Bolton and especially Newt Gingrich are MORE than troubling. Rudy Giuliani is “Mr. Police State,” and if he is selected as the new attorney general, the burgeoning Police State in this country will go into hyperdrive. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is already warning us about this. Chris Christie is a typical New England liberal Republican. His appointment to any position bodes NOTHING good. And John Bolton is a Bush pro-war neocon. But Newt Gingrich is the quintessential insider, globalist, and establishment hack.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the globalist elite gave Newt Gingrich the assignment of cozying up to (and “supporting”) Trump during his campaign with the sole intention of being in a position for Trump to think he owes Gingrich something so as to appoint him to a key cabinet post in the event that he won. Gingrich could then weave his evil magic during a Donald Trump presidential administration.

Newt Gingrich is a HIGH LEVEL globalist and longtime CFR member. He is the consummate neocon. And he has a brilliant mind (NO morals, but a brilliant mind–a deadly combination, for sure). If Donald Trump does not see through this man, and if he appoints him as a cabinet head in his administration, I will be forced to believe that Donald Trump is clueless about “draining the swamp.” You cannot drain the swamp by putting the very people who filled the swamp back in charge. And that’s exactly what Trump would be doing if he appoints Gingrich to any high-level position in his administration.

Trump is already softening his position on illegal immigration, on dismantling the EPA, on repealing Obamacare, on investigating and prosecuting Hillary Clinton, etc. Granted, he hasn’t even been sworn in yet, and it’s still way too early to make a true judgment of his presidency. But for a fact, his cabinet appointments and his first one hundred days in office will tell us most of what we need to know.

What we need to know right now is that WE CANNOT GO TO SLEEP. We cannot sit back in lethargy and complacency and just assume that Donald Trump is going to do what he said he would do. If we do that, we might as well have elected Hillary Clinton, because at least then we would be forever on guard against her forthcoming assaults against our liberties.

There is a reason we have lost more liberties under Republican administrations than Democratic ones over the past few decades. And that reason is the conservative, constitutionalist, Christian, pro-freedom people who should be resisting government’s assaults against our liberties are sound asleep because they trust a Republican President and Congress to do the right thing–and they give the GOP a pass as our liberties are expunged piece by piece. A pass they would NEVER give to a Democrat.

The difference in this election is that Donald Trump didn’t run against the Democrats; he ran against the entire Washington establishment, including the Republican establishment. Hopefully that means that the people who supported and voted for Trump will NOT be inclined to go into political hibernation now that Trump is elected.

I tell you again: this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the course of a nation. Frankly, if this opportunity is squandered, there likely will not be another one in most of our lifetimes.

Stay awake! Pay attention! And hold Donald Trump’s feet to the fire! Because at the end of the day–and after our liberties are demolished and our posterity is languishing in oppression and tyranny–no one will remember if it was a Democrat or a Republican that took our liberties from us. All we will remember is that WE LET IT HAPPEN.

P.S. Here are two excellent articles that augment what I am saying in this column. I urge readers to look closely at both of them:

Article 2: Trump Should Resist Neocon & Shadow Gov’t Influence To Justify People’s Hopes – Ron Paul To RT

P.P.S. To help readers better understand my statement above regarding Zionism, I have a seven-part, two-DVD message series that thoroughly explains the true scriptural teaching regarding Israel. No subject in modern Christendom is more mistaught than the subject of Israel. It took me the better part of a lifetime to come to understand this. This seven-message series will revolutionize one’s thinking regarding Israel and the Christian’s–and our country’s–relationship to it.

Now that the election’s over, and Democrats are into their customary hissy fit because they just can’t believe the American people rejected their far-left loony agenda, there’s a lot of talk about presidential pardons. Who needs to get one? How many must be handed out? Who’s going to be stuck without a pardon?

Regardless of how that issue plays out, there is one speech that our new president, Donald Trump, ought to make to us, as shortly after his inauguration as possible. And to help him craft it, we have as a model another speech in history, made within living memory.

One of the most important speeches ever made was by Nikita Khrushchev in 1956, to the Community Party Congress of the Soviet Union. It was called “the secret speech” because they meant to keep it secret, available to Party members only. But it was much too big for even communists to keep it under wraps.

In his speech, Khrushchev listed and denounced the crimes of his predecessor, Joseph Stalin. It was a long list and a long speech. It was by no means a complete list: Khrushchev focused on Stalin’s crimes against assorted victims within the Party, and did not address Stalin’s vast crimes against the general population, resulting in the deaths of millions of defenseless people.

After Khrushchev gave that speech, it was impossible for the Soviet Union ever to go back to pure Stalinism. Unable to rely on fear and violence to shore up a regime based on a totally crazy economic model, the evil empire slowly liberalized its policies and then expired: the long-term effects of Khrushchev’s single speech.

America needs a speech like that from Donald Trump, no matter who’s been pardoned—a speech listing and denouncing the lawless acts of the Obama administration and the crimes and corrupt practices of the Clinton family and the Clinton Foundation.

Some of these we already know about. Using the IRS to disable the regime’s political opponents. Re-directing funds for humanitarian relief in Haiti to boondoggle projects benefiting no one but Foundation donors. Playing fast and loose with classified information involving our national security. Rigging the Democrat primary against Bernie Sanders. Benghazi. Hiring thugs to disrupt rallies. Race-hustling, in collusion with George Soros and “Black Lives Matter.” Refusal to enforce our immigration laws. The list goes on and on.

It will be a long speech, and America needs to hear it from the president. Not from Rush Limbaugh, not from Alex Jones, not from Wikileaks. We need to hear it from the president, standing in front of the Presidential Seal.

Even if by then it’s impossible to prosecute those who have committed these crimes, because they’ve all been pardoned, it still matters very much to set the historical record straight. If Khrushchev had not done so in 1956, there would have been nothing to stop him or one of his successors from going back to the Stalinist tradition of murdering anyone they pleased, for any reason.

Swept under the rug, where Washington can pretend they never happened, these crimes will not only fester, but multiply. They will beget similar crimes, bigger crimes, worse crimes. They will erode the rule of law, breeding a climate of lawlessness that threatens the survival of our constitutional republic.

We may not be able, legally, to punish the perpetrators. But such a speech, coming from the president for all the world to hear, will forever brand the criminals as criminals, pardon or no pardon, and deter those who would follow in their footsteps.

We needed a new president, and we got one.

And now we need the truth.

I don’t know what you think but I believe that God intervened in the election last week. I am not sure if that is good or bad, but like so many other things in life, it depends on what your perspective is. Either way, God did something big in America.

Some say the election of DonaldTrump was a blessing from God. But you will find many Christians who say that his election was the judgment of God. Some think Trump will save America while other genuinely concerned believers think that The Donald will destroy America. Was his election a blessing from God or was it a curse from The Almighty?

Time will tell…but there is no doubt that His hand was stirring something on the evening of November 8, 2016. As I wrote a couple of weeks ago…only the Church CAN MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

But the church is going to have to deal with some very serious issues in the days ahead. The statistics show that we are running out of time. If we do not immediately wake up and change the way we are doing things the America that turned out all across the heartland will soon be a thing of the past.

The Baby-Boomers are rapidly aging and one can only imagine how many voters cast their last ballot in a Presidential election last week. Four years from today hundreds of thousands of the “deplorables” who pulled the lever for Donald Trump will either be dead or in a nursing home. Nearly 10,000 Baby Boomers die each day. That is 3,650,000 dead per year which means 14,000,000 will not make the election of 2020.

Recent statistics show that there are approximately 74,000,000 Baby Boomers still alive. If my math is correct, over the next four years the number will fall to 60 million. The Millennials, those born in between 1980-2000, number 84,000,000. Today, in America, there are more of them than there are of us. Baby Boomers and their values are slowly fading away.

Why does that matter you may be asking? Well, demographics can be a scary thing. The Baby Boomers are the last generation of Americans to grow up in what was generally considered a Christian nation. Although in America today 71% of the citizens claim Christianity as their religion of choice the reality is that the percentage of the population that identifies as “Christian” is in a free fall. Just seven years ago the same statistics showed that 78% self identified as Christians. Barring a spiritual revival, as the Baby Boomers die off those percentages are sure to plummet. This is no longer your grandparent’s America.

We Baby Boomers were the last generation to grow-up in a nation where the public schools included Christianity and Christian values as fundamental teachings taught to every child. Since the removal of prayer in 1962, the elimination of Bible readings in 1963, and the removal of the 10 Commandments from the walls of the public schools in 1980, Secular Humanism has been substituted as the religion of the nation. As a result, the influence of Christianity, and Christian churches has waned dramatically. Today, in the public school where your grandchildren attend, Christianity is nearly banned. The god of government and the god of self has now become the true religion of the average American citizen.

Perhaps nothing more illustrates this issue than two maps from the recent election. This map shows that, county by county, is flooded with “Red” which reflects the influence of the Baby Boomers who turned out massively in the election of 2016.

Although not scientific, the second map below shows support for Hillary from the Millennials. It would appear to me that the grandchildren do not share the values of their grandparents. How has this happened and what can we do about it? What is the common factor that over 90% of Millennials share? Public schools are where the values of the grandparents are torn from the hearts of their grandchildren.

Abraham Lincoln famously stated “The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next.”

Vladimir Lenin told us “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

It is time for religious leaders, pastors included, to call for a mass exodus of Christian children from public schools. We can no longer stick our collective heads in the sand and deny the negative influence that Humanistic indoctrination has had on this nation. Our failure to educate America’s children in Christian values and Christian morality will be the death knell of liberty in this land.

We are running out of time. Our children are our future. We must fight back and fight back now.

Thousands of church buildings lay empty throughout the week. It is time to populate them with young children. Our churches are full of retirees who could volunteer to help with the education of the community. The internet is full of Christian home-school materials at the click of a mouse. The church should be the center of ALL learning for the young children in the community and education does not have to be expensive. Failure to pass Christian values to the next generation will be deadly to our nation.

Christian education should be our number one focus. It is a task every church can do. Churches in the community can partner together to create home school co-ops where mothers and grandmothers labor daily to raise the next generation of Christian citizens.

Take a good look at the two maps posted above. Public education is dividing the generations. We are told in Proverbs that “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” It is not money that we are talking about here. The inheritance is values, culture, and a way of life.

Public schools are stealing our inheritance. We must act and act now. Why are we surprised that when we send our children to be educated by Caesar that they end up becoming little Romans? Why do we pay for public schools that don’t teach the values of the public? Stop waiting on Washington to change. Start changing things in your church.

Stand up and take the initiative. Don’t wait for the pastor. Get an educational program started in your church!! You can do it!! The kids in your community are counting on you!!

Most Americans are totally unaware of the battle raging in the West between landowners and the government and the environmentalists, especially those Americans who live in big cities. Their food arrives at the grocery store by truck and neatly stacked on the shelves from which they are able to make their individual selections. What happens before the trucks and the grocery store is of no interest to them.

These same citified folks salivate or agonize over environmental concerns, fed to them by never-ending government and environmental propaganda, but they could care less that the rancher and farmer, who provide the very food they consume, is under attack by several federal bureaucracies, egged on by radical environmental groups. Consequently, the government and the environmentalists are free to terrorize the private landowner with impunity. This government and environmental abuse and harassing is leading to what could trigger the breakout of all out war in the West. (See “Session or War – American West Against the East”)

The Bundy ranch showdown with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Nevada in April of 2014 and the takeover of the Wildlife Preserve in Oregon earlier this year, were triggered by federal bureaucracy abuse and harassment. Rabid environmentalists have taken over the federal Interior Department, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture, U. S. Fish and Wildlife, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Forest Service and the National Park Service. Each department is headed up by and staffed by a cult-like culture of radical environmentalism. All land use legislation is infected with this culture of “protect the environment at any cost,” where the cost turns out to be an attack on farming, ranching and constitutionally protected property rights. We’re not against protecting the environment. We are against trashing the Constitution to do it.

Radical environmentalism has been institutionalized in our public schools and colleges. The graduates from those colleges end up employed by government agencies, local, state and federal. The entire federal bureaucracy has become a swamp of environmental alligators and giant blood-sucking mosquitoes that eat away at the livelihood of rural landowners. This is the swamp that Trump should drain.

Meanwhile, there is a wholesale attack on private landowners by the Indians seeking reparations for the Indian Wars and environmentalists colluding with the Indians to set aside millions of acres for birds, bees and animal habitat, either by perverting old treaties, direct confiscation, establishing punitive buffers, buying up private land with taxpayer dollars, or establishing conservation easements by bribing private landowners with more taxpayer dollars.

Using federal environmental law and pandering to the Indians because of our collective guilty conscience, water is being denied to thousands of farmers in central California to “protect” a two-inch fish. Dams that provide vital electricity, irrigation water and flood control are being dismantled for that same 2-inch fish. Indians, using ancient treaties, perverted by federal junk-yard-dog lawyers, are taking over water basins in Montana, Arizona, California, Oregon, Texas and New Mexico. These actions are purposely “drying up” private lands, putting thousands of agricultural workers and livestock producers out of work and forcing many into bankruptcy.

Water is the lifeblood of all agriculture, as well as raising the livestock that provides the protein for a hungry nation. Without water, there is no agriculture or agricultural jobs and correspondingly, there is no food. Over regulate the farmer and the rancher, or take away his water and you are attacking one of the most important ingredients to the survival of human life. That is collective and national suicide.

Raising cattle takes a lot of land, especially in the dry and arid Southwest America. For at least 200 years cattle have been raised on private lands and adjoining federal lands, called allotments. For almost as many years there was a symbiotic relationship between livestock producers and the federal government over management of the allotments. That is until radical environmentalism became institutionalized at every level of government. In open violation of allotment contracts that run with the land, government is locking up these allotments in the name of environmentalism and animal habitat, creating a growing bitter and adversarial relationship between livestock producers and the federal government. (See: “Rural America in the Crosshairs”)

One landowner in Southeast Nevada (Wayne Hage) has been fighting the federal government over legal allotment rights, which the federal bureaucracies unilaterally took away. The legal battle has been raging for over 20 years. A $14,000,000 settlement was awarded to the family by the U. S. Court of Appeals but the federal government continues to fight the landowner, denying them the settlement. Wayne Hage and his wife have died and the son has had to take up the fight. The family has spent more than $2,000,000 in legal fees and expert witnesses. Unfortunately, they have been denied any restitution for their losses. The fight will probably go on until the government runs the family out of money.

This is just one landowner’s fight with government. There are thousands more. It is a daily occurrence that the urban dweller never sees. Many landowners simply don’t have the resources to fight and capitulate or roll over.

Farming and ranching is extremely difficult and dangerous work. The weak in body, mind and spirit need not apply. If the elements don’t get you, the government will and right now, the government is “getting” the rural landowner to the point of rural desperation.

Which brings us to the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. The “Donald” promised many things during the long and bitter 18-month campaign. Some of his promises were welcomed by millions of Americans and even rural Americans who have had their fill of what seems like perpetual Progressive and radical environmental rule. In fact, rural Americans came out in droves to vote for Donald Trump, hoping he might be able to bring relief to the duress they must endure from government and the environmentalists. Flyover country finally found their voice.

The question still remains however whether a President Trump will do anything to role back a federal bureaucracy that has become an almost absolute power unto itself without accountability.

We don’t know what Donald Trump thinks about the environment. Is he a rabid or a moderate environmentalist? Does he believe in the fraud of climate change? Does he believe in the constitutionality of property rights? Or, does he take on the international view of environmentalism as promoted at the Earth Summits in 1992 and 2012 in Rio de Janeiro that gave us UN Agenda 21 policies, policies that would do away with constitutional land ownership? The reader, urban or rural, needs to learn all they can about AGENDA 21.

But Trump is going to have a lot on his plate right off the bat. Foreign entanglements and possible wars, to the economy and jobs, to illegal immigration, to Obama Care, to trade policies and a host of other issues will occupy the majority of his time. Will he have time or the inclination to address the federal and environmental encroachment on and harassment of private landowners? It isn’t likely.

So the fact remains, rural landowners are still going to be on their own to fight the growing and intrusive local, state and federal bureaucracy. This will lead to local skirmishes and violent outbreaks. Trump will only address the issue if the skirmishes and violent outbreaks erupt on a national scale and are impossible to ignore by the people, the press, the Congress ….. or the President.

Without intervention from the President or the Congress to rein in the federal bureaucracies, landowners are going to have to organize and band together in peaceful opposition and resistance against irrational land use and radical environmental rule. Standing alone is tantamount to committing land ownership suicide. Government will run over the single landowner as if he wasn’t there. There is only protection from government in large rural numbers that are willing to lay it all on the line.

The rural landowner had better come to the realization that this battle with the government and the environmentalists is all-out war and the government and the environmentalists are winning. Rural landowners are not powerless however. If they are going to turn the tide, they are going to have to fight back, vigorously. If you are a rural landowner, or you know a rural landowner, you or they had better pay attention to what we are about to say. If you care about your rural landowner relative or friend, they will appreciate that you passed this on to them.

Their first line of defense is the rural landowner’s property line and they need to protect that property line with powerful, legally intimidating, constitutional NO TRESPASSING signs that give them the RIGHT TO EXCLUDE anyone from their property. They need to attend public meetings of county commissioners or supervisors in large groups and raise hell at those meetings about existing and proposed land use ordinances that limit, impede, or stop the constitutional and rightful endeavors of land ownership. They need to immediately challenge state, or federal intrusion on private property rights.

They need to study the law and throw the law back in the faces of local, state and federal authority. In fact, they need to question that legal authority. We have developed a letter to question government’s legal authority, which we call our LEGAL AUTHORITY letter. The letter covers a wide range of issues arising from local, state, or federal government abuse and it forces government to prove their legal authority.

Landowners need to learn how to FIGHT GOVERNMENT without having to hire an expensive lawyer who will suck up their savings and maybe even their land, but not win the case for them. A lawyer has no incentive to expedite your case since he is paid by the hour. He has no incentive to tell you the truth about your chances of winning. Further, a lawyer’s allegiance and loyalty is to the court, not to the landowner who must pay the lawyer’s fees.

Finally, urban dwellers had better get behind this fight for rural landowners or start facing food shortages and rising prices. They are already being affected by this environmental non-sense. It’s already hurt them. They just don’t know it yet. But they will, eventually.

NOTE: Trump can’t help you with your local, state, or federal problems but maybe we can. For those of you that find yourself at odds with government, urban or rural, or have received nasty notices from them, whether federal, state, or local, we have developed defenses you can use against them, without hiring an attorney, even the IRS. You can check out these defenses on our two websites. For the rural landowner, click HERE. For the rural landowner or the urban dweller, click HERE. If you need immediate help with a land use problem, click HERE.

“When you elect a Chicago community organizer who was never qualified for the office that he has been entrusted to hold, who clearly hates America, who persecutes law abiding citizens and has done more for the illegal’s and the Islamic state then he has for Americans, it should be clear as to what America is dealing with.”

On November 6, 2016, the criminal and foreign agent in the people’s White House once again exhibited his stance against America and her constitutional laws (Luke 3:19).

Barack Hussein Obama (Muslim name), while alluring illegals on American tax payer’s dime to this country, endorsed the notion of illegal aliens casting votes in the 2016 US presidential election.

“…[M]illenials, dreamers, undocumented citizens – and I call them citizens because they contribute to this country – are fearful of voting,” an interviewer told the president. “So if I vote, will immigration know where I live? Will they come for my family and deport us?”

“Not true,” Obama reassured. “And the reason is first of all when you vote you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating, et cetera. The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential.”

Once again, the law stands as a stumbling block to this criminal (1 Peter 2:8). He failed to share with the American people that in order to vote you must do so lawfully. Here is what is required in Minnesota before voting:

• A valid photo ID such as a MN driver’s license, permit, or ID card (or a receipt for any of these IDs).
• A valid student ID card that has your picture.
o Can only be used if your college has given a student housing list to election officials.

• A photo Tribal ID card that shows your signature.
• A valid voter registration in your same precinct showing a different name or address.
• A registered voter residing in your precinct who can sign an oath confirming your address.
• An employee of your residential facility who can sign an oath to confirm your address.
If you cannot provide one of the above, you can provide an expired photo ID; however, if you do you’ll also need to bring proof of residency, such as a utility bill or rent statement dated within 30 days of Election Day.

Illegal’s cannot, and will not produce this!

ILLE’GAL, a. Not legal; unlawful; contrary to law; illicit; as an illegal act; illegal trade. Webster’s 1828 dictionary

I have been blowing the trumpet for 8 years now making Americans aware of the fact that if Barack had the support that the media wanted you to believe that he had, including Hilary Clinton, why is it that he has been appealing to the illegals for support and assailing those who uphold border laws? Simply put, he does not have the support.

Second, the useful idiot during this scripted interview called illegal aliens “undocumented,” and said, “I call them citizens because they contribute to this country” (Proverbs 19:9).

Undocumented illegal aliens contribute to our country? Let’s see if what she said lines up with the facts.

Take a look at Muslims from the east who are plundering countries that they are entering.

• Denmark: 450% more crimes committed by Muslims then non-Muslims.
• Germany: Muslim migrants committed 142, 500 crimes in 6 months. This is 780 every day.
• Sweden: 480,000 sexual assaults in one year. 77% of all rapes by less than 2% Muslim.
• England and Wales: Over 56% of Syrian refugee’s committed severe crimes in less than 1 year etc.
• Belgium: 35% of Prison population is Muslim who make up only 6% of the population.
• UK: Muslims fill 44%of high security prisons, out of a 5% population.
• USA: 91.4 % Muslim refugees are on food stamps, 68.3 % on cash welfare.
Muslim migration has doubled in the decade since 9/11 and 60% migrants to America favor sharia law (Deuteronomy 28:15-68).

More illegals are coming across from the southern border,

• There were 68.57 illegal aliens imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in Arizona, compared to 54.06 citizens and legal noncitizens imprisoned for every 100,000 citizens and legal noncitizens.
• There were 97.2 illegals imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in California, compared to 74.1 citizens and legal noncitizens imprisoned per 100,000 citizen and legal noncitizens.
• There were 54.85 illegals imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in Florida, compared to 67.8 legal immigrants imprisoned for every 100,000 legal immigrants.
• There were 168.75 illegals imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in New York, compared to 48.12 legal immigrants imprisoned for every 100,000 legal immigrants.
• There were 54.54 illegals imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in Texas, compared to 65.43 legal immigrants.
Crimes of the Illegals

From the unlawful acts of this criminal called the president to the advocating of the crimes of illegals within (Psalm 9:16), no wonder America is where she is.

Barrack Hussein Obama has released 165,900 “contributors” (illegal’s) back onto the streets of America, jeopardizing the safety and the welfare of those who have a lawful God given right to be here.

This, of course, is when he is not commuting more “contributors,” namely Muslim drug dealers. Barack Hussein Obama commuted the sentences of 111 federal inmates Tuesday, 96 of which were in prison for cocaine trafficking.

America, you would not have to deal with the crimes of the illegals from without if you would simply deal with the crimes of the illegals and unlawful from within!

America can start this process by sending this foreigner back to Kenya where he came from and eradicate his 7 and three quarter years of unlawful policies (Deuteronomy 28:36).

The Executive Branch Up Close

This has been an unforgettable and historical election where the first woman campaign manager in American history was able to bring a candidate to the oval office. Not to mention, this candidate is the first non-politician, non-military veteran to be elected to the high office. Regardless, certain demographics were literally in mourning for days after the election, including desperate crying fits and depression!

For this reason, I have decided to outline why we can “exchange our mourning for gladness,” because our founders placed so much emphasis on limiting the Executive Branch of government in America.

Understanding the nature and the limits of the authorities and powers granted to the Executive Branch of the federal government by the Constitution is very liberating unless you countenance tyranny. Our founders provided a way in which the different branches can impede each other, thereby slowing down the actions of government, and this is a great protection for individual liberty.

The president-elect must swear an oath to Almighty God (and to the people) to do no other than to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” George Washington started the tradition of the added statement “so help me God” to the oath, further substantiating the dependance of the office on the reliance of Providential aid.

The powers and duties of the president include being the Commander in Chief of Army and Navy, as well as state militias when called into federal service ONLY when a war has been officially declared by Congress. This power over armed forces is shared among Congress, the president, and the States. Congress makes basic rules for armed forces; the president gives day-to-day orders and more specific regulations; the States control militias except when in federal service.

As an executive check on judicial power, a president may pardon all federal offenses (including contempt) during, or after indictment or conviction except impeachment.

The president may make treaties with concurrence of 2/3 of Senators, appoint Supreme Court justices, ambassadors, and major federal officers with advice and consent of Senate majority.

While the president may recommend legislation, someone in Congress MUST introduce it; the president CANNOT introduce legislation.

Other minor duties include the ability to convene emergency sessions of Congress, receive foreign ambassadors, commission all federal officers, and faithfully execute all laws of United States. This is the extent of Executive Orders. They are NOT laws made by the president, but simply the president seeing to it that the laws made by Congress are faithfully executed. So eliminating all the previous administration’s orders that do not comport with the Constitution is the kind of “fairness” all Americans should want.

As a final security that should bring every American “gladness”, the president may be impeached and removed from office by Congress on grounds of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story expounded on impeachment, stating, “The offences to which the power of impeachment has been and is ordinarily applied as a remedy are… what are aptly termed political offences, growing out of personal misconduct, or gross neglect, or usurpation, or habitual disregard of the public interest.”

Simply put, our founders put in place a form of government that is resistant to rapid change charged by the passions of the mob, or by designing men who hold office, which ultimately results in tyranny.

It’s over. The country has spoken. Donald Trump won (as of this writing, 276 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton’s 210; 270 required to win the Presidency)!

As much as Trump warned about the likelihood of this election being rigged, it didn’t happen. There is no way of knowing for sure, of course, but perhaps the would-be vote riggers understood clearly how many people were watching. They didn’t dare!

Trump’s victory was no landslide. The country barely avoided a second Clinton Regime. But we take what we can get.

Now the real work begins. Trump took the first positive steps during his victory speech by reaching out to the country, including those who have opposed him from the get-go. He promised to be a president for all Americans, and to deal with foreign powers fairly, if firmly and from a pro-American stance. It is important that these gestures continue. They are necessary, and they are right.

But let’s not gloat. That’s what the Left would do. A Hillary Clinton victory would have been shoved in our faces.

We’re better than that.

There are decent people who are genuinely worried, even scared. These are the people who bought all the mainstream media pap about Trump’s being a racist, a fascist, a xenophobe, a sexist who abused women (using the infamous p-word over ten years ago); never mind that these allegations came out of nowhere, with no evidence to back them up.

Global markets tanked overnight Nov 8 – 9 as it became clearer by the hour that Hillary Clinton, the globalist favorite, wasn’t going to pull this out despite what all the polls and “experts” told us.

The “experts,” as is often the case, were dead wrong. The Dow recovered within a matter of hours, by the way.

My interpretation all along has been that this election was a public referendum on Americanism versus globalism, free speech versus political correctness.

I am happy to report that Americanism won. Free speech won.
But what did we win? A major battle, to be sure, fought against huge odds. But let’s not rest on our laurels and think we’ve won the war.

All one has to do to see the crux of the matter is look at the electoral map. The states of the Northeast, heavily populated by those supportive of the globalist, power elite mindset, and those of the West Coast (same), all went to Hillary Clinton. So-called “flyover country” except for Illinois, all the Southeast, and the inland portion of the Northwest, all voted for Donald Trump. And if one looks at the breakdown county by county, the real divide is still clearer: the “blue” areas of Hillary supporters are all the big and larger medium-sized cities. They subsist in vast seas of “red” outside the cities, even in so-called “blue states.”

The divide is as stark as I have ever seen it. We are indeed “two Americas.”

We are talking about two incommensurable mindsets and ways of seeing the world that have been battling, and will continue to battle, for control over not just the U.S. but the entire Western world, and more besides. In my last article I used the terms New America versus Old America. ‘Incommensurable,’ by the way, means approximately, ‘unable to be brought under a single shared vocabulary or consensus, and/or a single set of legitimizing rules agreeable to all parties to a dispute.’

The word seems perfect for the two mindsets battling for control over the public consciousness in the U.S. right now, neither of which considers the other legitimate.

The mindset that voted for Hillary Clinton sees itself as well-educated, sophisticated, cosmopolitan, supportive of what it calls diversity (the diversity of faces), tolerant, etc., etc. Its basic premises, stated or not, are those of secular materialism and worldliness. It has little use for religion, and sees allegiance to tradition as a sign of backwardness. It disdains such things as private gun ownership; city-dwelling pseudo-sophisticates are basically afraid of guns. They make wonkish pronouncements on the issues of our times, on the strength of Ivy League degrees; or they working in or with the leviathan banks or other mega-corporations being paid more in a year than most people outside their enclaves will see in their lives; the elite mindset includes West Coast celebrities Hillary consistently drew on for support; it also includes, finally, the bulk of those who draw federal paychecks, who as cogs in the technocratic machinery of the Deep State have no fundamental problem with centralization, micro-management, or top-down policies as a means of getting things done.

We know what’s best for you and we’ll do it for you whether you like it or not perhaps summarizes the elitist outlook.

The mindset that voted for Donald Trump is the mindset on Main Street, not Wall Street. Many of them have spent lives working with their hands, living in small communities or rural settings. They intuitively distrust massive changes they never voted for and can’t control. Guns don’t bother them, since they grew up with guns. Handling guns safely is second nature to them. They are skeptical of the economics-über-alles mindset of the city people. They do not trust anyone motivated solely by money and power, and are open to the idea that the wealthy and powerful have routinely conspired against them.

They adhere to one of any number of Christian denominations; questioning God’s existence literally doesn’t make sense to them. In terms of politics, when they are actually interested in politics, they are small government folks who trust representatives they know personally and can drop in on for a visit to express a concern. They prefer to live in a decentralized world, not a world of global economic forces dominated by city dwellers with soft hands, probably unable to change a tire or do simple household repairs, living in gated communities hundreds of miles away.

Leave us alone could well summarize what they want.

The latter have successfully expropriated and reclaimed the label deplorables. They took Hillary’s snarky comment and tossed it back in her face. Some of the Deplorables are now wearing the label as a badge of honor!

Neither group sees the other as well-intentioned, or as having any monopoly on truth or “the facts.” The elites have spent the past year tearing their hair out as their control over the national conversation slipped away. Their dominance of mainstream corporate media, emphasizing namecalling over substance, with its blatant pro-Hillary bias, backfired badly. Mainstream media is now largely discredited. Does anyone still take the Clinton News Network (CNN) seriously?

The elite mindset and its published products paraded Hillary as “superbly qualified,” or even “the most qualified candidate in history” (wow!) based on her time in government; its authors never discussed the scandals that have dogged her career from the get-go. The Main Street, Old America mindset, whose stronghold is now the Internet and alternative media, are content to note the scandals, events such as Benghazi and the destruction of Libya she owns, as well as the “dirty money” finding its way into Clinton Foundation coffers. They concluded long ago that the woman is a pathological liar, very possibly a criminal who, if tried by the laws that apply to ordinary mortals, would have been behind bars years ago.

The incommensurability of the mindsets is further manifest in that the pseudo-sophisticates remain headscratchingly clueless as to why their heroine lost this election all across Middle America—all despite the “experts” polls that placed her ahead. This headscratching cluelessness stretches across mainstream media, mainstream economic-financial commentary, and Hollywood.

Some of these reactions are truly bizarre. For example, one bimbo stated, “I feel like I’m about to give birth to a baby that’s already dead.”

Now that’s sophisticated!

At least it avoids the obscenities that are coming from other quarters: “Congratulations America; you f***** this one up!”

One has to love the language that often comes from the lips of the sophisticated and tolerant when they don’t get what they believe they are entitled to.

The bottom line: the Deplorables want their country back, and have used the electoral system to begin taking it back!

The interesting question now is: Will the power elites allow it to happen? Will their many followers, the types who get the bulk of their news from, say, the Clinton News Network (CNN)?

A friend of mine Skyped me this morning Trump’s victory was announced, asking, “Do you really think [the globalist elites] will sit back and be out of power for four years?”

No, no one in his right mind believes the globalists are simply going to go away. If they do not attempt to assassinate Trump, as that would be too obvious, they may bide their time, allow him to settle in, and then crash the economy. We’re talking about people able to move billions of dollars around with the ease of us unsophisticates changing our underwear. They could do it. Through their control over the six leviathan corporations that constitute mainstream media, they could see to it that Trump got blamed if the economy suddenly tanked, something we know is very likely to come anyway.

How Trump would handle such a fomented crisis will be crucial.

He won’t be able to further his agenda alone. His first and most important task will be to find people who (1) will work with him to begin to implement his vision of the future; (2) are qualified; and (3) are untethered from the globalist elites.

So deeply is the latter mindset insinuated in the entire governmental fabric and financial communities he has to draw from, finding the right people is not going to be easy! I’d avoid people like Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, and Chris Christie. Wolves in sheeps’ clothing, all three!

As I’ve also stated from the get-go, there are no guarantees!

These two mindsets are on collision course, and that’s not going to change!

I will look down the road, long term, therefore, and suggest that they cannot exist indefinitely under the same government. The one will eventually use the machinery of government to try to destroy the other, which may be forced into violence to defend itself. The result will be a bloody civil war which could have millions of casualties.

Peaceful separation makes far better sense to me, not just as a strategy but as an inevitability. The elites have no reason to allow this to happen, either, and have been fairly successful labeling all secession talk as “fringe.” I suspect not even the Trumpists are ready for this. But as gridlock and dysfunction continue to fester at the center, with national indebtedness continuing to rise (it is unclear that even Trump can prevent this), eventually the corporate state centered in Washington and Wall Street will lose the will to stop it — just as the Soviet Communists lost their will to continue their empire.

What the “secessionists” have to do in this case is be patient, gain in wisdom and strategy, and begin working towards influence and eventual control in state legislatures, governorships, and perhaps entire regions.

Perhaps, somewhere down the road, we will have several Deplorable nations! The elites, in this case, can turn their cities into cesspools of crime, corruption, bureaucracy, chronic instability, and cultural filth if that is their choice.

The media narrative fueling the “not my president” protests is like everything else the media has done for decades, FALSE PROPAGANDA!

Kids are rioting in the streets because the media has told them that “Hillary Clinton had won the popular vote” and she only lost the race due to “the electoral college” and “FBI Director James Comey.” In other words, the very people who attacked Trump for pointing out that “the system is rigged” are now claiming that “the election was rigged” for Donald Trump.

In truth, Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election every way she possibly could, including the popular vote.

According to the final official vote tally, 120,413,472 people voted in the 2016 presidential election. 60,029,235 306 voted for Donald J. Trump and 60,384,823 232 voted for Hillary Clinton. This means that Trump (not Clinton) has won the popular vote by 28,866 votes nationally, despite massive Democratic Party efforts to “steal the election” via dead, felon, illegal alien, repeat voters, media bias and machine tampering.

In addition, Trump won 31 states and Clinton, only 19. That’s why Trump ended with 313 Electoral College votes, leaving Clinton with only 225 and a resounding defeat.

A County-by-County map shows an even bigger “divide” heavily favoring Trump. In reality, only a tiny fraction of the country is pro-Hillary, anti-America and solidly LEFT, all of it in a handful of inner-city metro centers where all the problems in our country are birthed and perpetuated.

The narrative driving kids into the streets and causing them to commit violent crimes is entirely false. These kids are being tricked into committing crimes and violence against their fellow Americans based on a FALSE narrative, thanks to the Democrat Party and their adoring media.

In a recent video interview with AIM.org Founder Cliff Kincaid, filmed the day after the election, I explain “how the media missed this election so badly.” The answer is really quite simple…

The American News Media, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times and Post, The Washington Times, NPR, PBS and many others, including the kid’s favorite news outlet, Comedy Central, all got it dead wrong. Their polls were backwards. In fact, AP, Reuters and UPI all got it wrong too. About the only paper in the country that got it right was oddly, The LA Times, which was predicting a Trump victory for weeks ahead of the election. Maybe that’s because they are the only new groups to actually read TRUMPED!

The rest got it wrong for one simple reason – They were not investigating and reporting the news, they were all inventing and perpetuating a lie. They were not trying to figure out the true sentiments of American voters and report it, or cover the biggest story in U.S. elections history, the fact that the Democrat Party was doomed from the start by trying to run a known career political criminal for President of the United States.

Instead, the so-called “news media” was running a Clinton Campaign from the newsrooms. They complained that Trump received “billions in free campaign advertising” from the press. But that was only true due to the fact that the press was attacking him daily with invented stories in an effort to make Trump look as corrupt as their candidate, Hillary, whom they were giving a free pass for all of the crimes that she and her husband Bill had been committing for decades.

Some of us saw it all coming long ago though.

In a book co-authored by myself and Timothy Harrington and released last May, aptly titled TRUMPED: The New American Revolution, we wrote the history behind the Trump phenomenon sure to unfold in the 2016 elections – a widespread revolt against the DC political establishment in fourteen chapters, only one of which is about Trump the candidate.

Had the news media bothered to read this book ahead of the election, they would have seen this tsunami of American voters coming miles away and months ahead. If protesters would bother to READ THIS BOOK today, they would realize that although their candidate lost the race on November 8, 2016, they won their country and their freedom on that day.

But sadly, even most of the Trump voters have not read the book yet and thus, they do not yet fully understand the war for America that they are in right now or how to win it. They do not realize that the war did not end on November 8, 2016 with the election of Trump-Pence, it had only just begun.

Just as the news media was blindsided by the outcome of the 2016 elections, Trump supporters will be blindsided by the reality that the war for America’s future has only begun with the election of Trump-Pence. They will be blindsided by the reality that the same folks who were Globalists before the election, remain Globalists after the election and that they will continue to use every possible weapon to derail Trump and destroy America, despite the outcome of the election.

Only once “the people” who caused the election of Trump-Pence grasp the whole truth behind what Trump and Pence will now face in the coming days, weeks, months and years, can they or will they “do their part” to make sure that we will Make America Great Again.

At the end of the day, the following facts stand!

1. Donald Trump (not Hillary Clinton) won the popular vote
2. Donald Trump won the Electoral College 313-225
3. Donald Trump won 31 states, Clinton 19
4. Donald Trump won approximately 90% of the Counties in the USA
5. Republicans control the House and the Senate
6. Conservatives will control the Supreme Court and Federal courts down the line
7. Republican Governors control 35 of 50 states
8. The news media is NOT a news media, it’s a leftist propaganda machine
9. Hillary lost because the vast majority of Americans know she is a criminal
10. Bill Clinton is a boat anchor, not a hero to anyone anymore
11. The Democrat Party is on the brink of extinction
12. And although Clinton voters lost the election, they too, won their country, freedom and liberty

American Veterans started the 2016 Revolt in DC on 11.11.11… I don’t just encourage every American to read TRUMPED: The New American Revolution, I beg you to… because only those who do will understand exactly what they are witnessing in America today, the Reclaiming of our Constitutional Republic and the end of Global Marxist influence in America.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT TRUMPED!

• “This book really helped me understand what is going on this political season. I’m going to share it with others like myself, who’ve pretty much had enough of the status quo.”

• “I received my copy of TRUMPED and anxiously started reading and reading. I could not put it down. It so succinctly put into words my feelings of hopelessness and fear for my beloved American heritage in a way that helped me understand what I and many Americans are feeling but just couldn’t find the right words to explain those feelings. TRUMPED has the right words. The words to put the pieces of the puzzle together. To make sense out of what we have been feeling but just didn’t understand why we felt the way we did and why we were seeing everything we love being destroyed before our very eyes. This book also gave me encouragement and hope. Now I understood my own inner feelings and the motives and tactics of those obsessed with destroying our country. But there is hope and that hope is in God and We The People. Trump is only an extension of our feelings and our longing to rescue our country. I believe if Trump wins he will only be the pause We The People need to put things right again. The real work will be after the election for the American people. We cannot allow ourselves to become complacent again. God has given us a second chance. Lets not screw it up again. I also pray that Donald J. Trump himself reads the book. This is a fast easy to read book but the message will leave you with a renewed sense of understanding and hope. Thank you to Mr. Williams and Mr. Harrington. I hope there is a follow up!! The next chapter in the history of this country is about to take place and we need it written for future generations to read.”

• “I was a Marine with Tim. While we may not agree on some things, one thing I can attest to: Tim will not lie to you, nor will he try to lead you astray. Buy his book for that alone.”

• “I, with 2 million (by police count, not the propagandist media) other “Silent Majority” Americans from all 50 states marched in the first TEA Party march on Washington, and it was reassuring to hear two million voices shouting “Can You Hear Us Now.” I’m sure there are many Silent Majority Americans out there who are desperately waiting to be heard. I and my wife couldn’t put the book down. Frankly, there are only several things in the book that we did not already know, which attests to the authors doing their homework very thoroughly, but the average Silent American who is only now coming on board with this will get a wonderful awakening, and in the nick of time. Please advertise this to your friends on the Internet, to anyone who is beginning to see the light. This is our chance, and most likely our only chance, to have America back.”

• “I just finished reading this book this evening. It confirmed much, it informed a lot, it gave me hope I hadn’t felt for a long time. I’m so thankful I kept opening my mouth with my politics and am a proud member of that no longer silent majority. I’m on a mission to save my beloved Constitutional Republic and so thankful to have so many friends across this nation on that same mission. You’ve got to read this book!”

• “My wife ordered the book and finished reading it last week. She said that if she were asked to rate the book from 1-5 that it was definitely a 5 (Excellent)! It covered well the New American Revolution which is taking place in our society now with The People siding in big numbers with Donald Trump. “The People are sick of being treated like Mindless Fools and want to end the era of Big Government Tyranny! The book is very readable and easy to understand.”

• “I received my copy in the afternoon on Tuesday and started it later that day. I finished two thirds of it by the evening and got up early and completed it in the morning. The thrust that Trump has given to the “silent majority” to get involved is clearly spelled out. As explained, the book is not about Trump, but how he happened to be in the right place at the right time to galvanize the silent to get involved. The admonishment in the last three paragraphs to those who have decided to “sit this one out” is a powerful indictment of non-action! This is a must read for those who are not aware of what has happened to our country, while most of us have not been paying attention. Don’t hesitate, get your copy now and get involved in saving our republic!! Dear friends, we are the only remaining option.”

• “TRUMPED is an excellent book. It is an easy read and at the same time very educational. You’ll get the highlights of 100 years of history that led us into the mess we’re in; naming names, groups, policies and strategies responsible for our plight. It’s the story of the “Silent Majority” reawakening to recapture and restore our country before the Marxists, communists, socialists and progressives, in cahoots with Republican RINO globalists, completely destroy her. It gives me encouragement that all is not lost. We can win this thing if we pull together as Americans and fight for America This November’s election may be the last opportunity for a peaceful revolution before it becomes not so peaceful or becomes lost forever. The stakes have never been higher. TRUMPED should be read by all but especially the younger generations who have suffered through our dumbed-down education system the past few decades. Learn something before you go into the voting booth and mark that ballot. Kudos to the authors.”

• “It is about the awakening of the silent majority to the fact that our beloved constitutional republic is and has been under attack. An attack from within our borders, from within our three branches of federal government, and from within our major news corporations. It is also a bugle call to action; a call for the silent majority to be silent no more. A call for that no-longer-silent majority to stand together to peacefully restore our once great nation to its former greatness and glory. I urge all patriots to buy the book; read the book; spread the word; and join the movement. Together we, the people, will Make America Great Again!”

• “‘Trumped’ was easy to read and gave concise details on how we got to this point in history where the American citizens see that the government has not been listening to them or working for them. The Revolution is an awakening of the silent majority. Please read and share this book with your family to arm them with knowledge to fight the enemy.”

GET TRUMPED HERE TODAY! We made history and now you should own it! Without this book, you cannot help Trump and Pence Make America Great Again!

During his presidential campaign against “Crooked Hillary Clinton,” Republican maverick Donald Trump said during his second presidential debate, that he would have his Attorney General — whoever that may be — appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton.

While the news media took it to mean another investigation of Hillary’s home-cooked Internet server and the transmission of classified information on her unprotected email system, it was obvious to most law enforcement officers listening to him that he meant something else: the Clintons’ organized crime enterprise masquerading as a charity known as the Clinton Foundation.

Trump denounced the former Secretary of State on an almost daily basis during his campaign not only for her use of a personal email server — which the FBI said they believed that there was a 99% probability it was hacked by foreign intelligence agencies — but also Bill and Hillary Clinton’s alleged “pay to play” relationship. In fact, evidence exists that reveals there was little separating the activities between the Clinton Foundation and the Hillary Clinton-led State Department.

The Clinton family’s charity is arguably the most extensive money laundering operation in the world today. In fact, it is not difficult for even a rookie cop or a recent law school graduate to connect the dots in order to prove criminality.

“As far as I’m concerned, pay-to-play is just a fancy or politically correct way of saying bribery. The scam can be as simple as two people talking and one receives an envelope full of cash, while the other benefits from obtaining something he isn’t legally entitled to,” said former police detective and corporate security investigator Bernard Hoyt.

Here are the steps Det. Hoyt believes were taken by the Clintons and their henchmen and henchwomen:

First they needed to open up an office for a foreign “charity” preferably in a country with lax oversight of charities and their donors. In this case they didn’t need to go far when the opened one in Canada.

Foreign government officials or businessmen then contribute to the Canadian charity. In the Clinton Foundation case more than 1,000 contributed hundreds of millions of dollars. The Canadian charity officials — in this case a Bill Clinton pal named Frank Giustra — then “bundle” these separate donations, much the same way that campaign contributions are bundled, and then a huge contribution to the Clinton Foundation charity is made.

In order to avoid detection, the Clinton Foundation and the co-conspirators at the Canadian charity hide behind a Canadian law that protects the identification of individual donors, according to Det. Hoyt.

The Clinton Foundation then spends some of the non-taxable cash for legitimate charity work. But experts have stated that the Clinton Foundation has donated between 10 and 15 percent of the donations to legitimate charity work. The majority of its liquid assets goes to enrich the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton’s lavish salaries, and lavish lifestyles, particularly travel, and virtually all tax free. In one year alone, the foundation spent over $8 million in travel expenses. Chelsea Clinton’s opulent wedding, reception and honeymoon was also charged to the “charity.”

Here is a case in which foreign money, much of it from other countries, goes into the Clinton family’s pockets tax-free and untraceable back to the original donors.

While the news media pretends ignorance, the truth known to any cop worth his or her salt is that the Clinton Foundation is a money-laundering scheme that makes the Mafia look like amateurs.

Unity, Unity, Unity, the Lie from the Left

We do not want “unity” with the leftists in any way shape or form. We want what Donald Trump told us he was planning to do. The left with their “unity” garbage just wants to water down President Trump’s policies and plans for Making America Great Again. 

I tuned in to Rush Limbaugh today about half way through his program, and he too was saying stay away from bi-partisanship. We don’t need to make nice, they lost, it’s our game now. Nationwide, the Dems lost big in 2010, 2012, and 2014. The people have voiced their opinion. We simply cannot squander this opportunity to destroy the left. It is up to the Republicans to stand firm for a change, and President Trump will have to demand they do just that.

Trump Must Maintain Results of Victory

Our new President must maintain the results of Tuesday’s victory. It will take fortitude, spine, and guts, which we know Donald J. Trump has in spades. But I say this because Trump is, above all things, a kind, generous gentleman, but in the arena of President, he must remain hardcore on what he has promised the American people, and what he wants to do. He’s done that in the business world, and he now will have to do the same thing as the world’s greatest leader.

RINO McConnell will fight you. He shot down or expressed little enthusiasm in some of Trump’s plans. He even declined to discuss the Senate’s immigration agenda further. McConnell also threw cold water on Trump’s infrastructure plans, calling it not a top priority. Bridges, roads and airports are in total disrepair and McConnell says it’s not a top priority! I truly have little use for the likes of these leftists who call themselves conservative Republicans. They are more foul than even the Democrat left because they masquerade as conservatives, when in fact they have the same agenda as the left. A false friend is more dangerous than an open enemy.

Gingrich Explains the Left’s Tactics

Sean Hannity interviewed establishment CFR member Newt Gingrich the day after the election, and Sean said he had to resist stating the names of all the people who not only sabotaged the Trump campaign, but who refused to help him. 

Newt answered him saying, “The little whiny negative sniveling cowards, who were NeverTrumpers, are beneath our paying attention to them. Let them drift off into the ashbin of history while we go ahead and work with Donald Trump and with the house and senate Republicans to create a dramatically new future.”

Hannity then asked Newt if the old order establishment Republicans will, as quickly as they can, turn on Trump to stop the progress he’s laid out, even with the mandate Trump received from the American people. 

I am certainly not a fan of Newt Gingrich, but what he said next is exactly how the neo-con’s work…they are weasels, and they’ll try anything to damage President Trump’s efforts to restore America. 

Gingrich explained, “Their technique won’t be to turn on him. Their technique will be to say, ‘Oh be reasonable. Don’t push too hard. Don’t force the issue. Find a compromise with Democrats. Maybe you shouldn’t name one of the justices who is conservative on your list. Maybe you should find a nice moderate acceptable to the democrats.’” 

“Down that road is a disaster. So, we have to be aware that the danger is not that they will actively fight. The danger is that they’re going to offer honeyed words of subversion that undermines the entire movement to Make America Great Again.” 

Newt said Trump will move America back to being great again, drain the swamp in Washington, and provide far better experiences for every American. But our new President will have to remain vigilant.

Remember the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero!

Trump Meets with Obama

In Obama’s meeting with President elect Trump, we heard his lies when he said, “We are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed, because if you succeed the country succeeds.” What a pile of kaka! 

NAFTA to be Renegotiated, TPP Dead

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday he is willing to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which US President-elect Donald Trump has said he wants to change or scrap. [Link]

Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday told trade unions the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal is dead in the new Congress, aligning with a key element of President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda for the first 100 days. This is wonderful! [Link]

Conclusion

Trump’s policies have already made a difference in America. The European populists are rejoicing, other than a few like Hillary’s favorite world leader, Germany’s globalist Angela Merkel. Freedom and liberty can spread like wildfire! But there are dangers…and they come in the form of false friends. Those who sabotaged and disavowed Trump are now saying they’ll work with him. These globalists will try to worm their way into the administration. Careful, Mr. President, they are sly and they lie!

A lot can happen in the next seven weeks. We all need to be watchmen on the wall, and President Trump will have to be very wary of who he appoints. Several people he has mentioned for posts need to be deleted. Thankfully, our new President is a quick study, and he doesn’t have a problem saying, “You’re fired.”

P.S. A special note. I want to thank Paul Walter for so many ideas for my articles. This article’s subject matter is another one of his. Thanks also to the hundreds of emails from readers who were so kind to write to me and thank NewsWithViews for printing such wonderful articles on Trump. It truly was a huge group effort. NWV lost a couple writers because Mr. Walter refused to post their anti-Trump articles.

And one last thing. Please pray daily for President Trump, his wife and family, and his administration. Pray a hedge of protection around them all, and pray for divine wisdom for our 45th President of the United States.
Thank God we have a president who loves freedom!

Donald Trump’s stunning defeat vanquished the politics of self over country, of public corruption over the rule of law, and of American decline over American exceptionalism. His program for American economic, military, and political restoration promises to expand opportunity, protect the nation, and reignite economic growth. Through bills to achieve business and personal tax reductions, deregulation, elimination of Obamacare, restoration of the American military, vigorous prosecution and destruction of radical Islamic terrorism, and the establishment of meaningful border security, Donald Trump aims in his first hundred days to unlock the extraordinary potential of free enterprise, rebuild the national defense, and end widespread corruption.

President-elect Trump’s plans for the transition to this bold new era are now being perfected. The changes planned and promised are momentous. They will save America from the movement of the Obama Administration to reduce American stature in the world, compel purchase of health insurance mandated by the federal government, tax and regulate all productive elements of our society, and diminish and neglect the nation’s military and border defenses.

There could be no greater proof of American disgust with the corrupt, self-interested politics of Washington than the rejection of Hillary Clinton and the policies of Barack Obama by a majority of the electorate on November 8. There could be no greater proof of the love still harbored by those same Americans for their country than the popular rejection of the Clinton candidacy in favor of Donald Trump. We are witnessing the start of a new era of American majesty and grandeur, an American apotheosis.

Through a Trump presidency with a government no longer divided (Republicans holding the House and Senate), there is the precious opportunity to restore the foundations of American greatness: limited government, free enterprise, and a strong national defense. There is the hope that yet again the United States will prove itself a city upon a hill, as John Winthrop first put it in his 1630 admonition to members of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

This time, unlike past elections, a revolution is afoot. A startling Brexit-like break with a bureaucratic past has taken place. The new President is beholden neither to the old guard nor to specific financial interests. He can lead without those old tethers, and he can overcome obstacles with an appeal directly to the American people.

He will be told that compromise is the order of the day. He will be told that a gracious victor must build bridges with the opposition that entail concessions that water down and sacrifice key elements in his agenda. He must resist those efforts and he must put forth a bold legislative initiative that favors passage of those measures that will bring to fruition the promises made in his campaign. There must be a border wall. There must be tax deductions for business and individuals. There must be an end to Obamacare. There must be an end to the horrible deal with Iran. There must be an option for veterans to obtain medical care from private hospitals.

There must be an investment in revitalizing the American military, ensuring that it has the best available means to accomplish the goal of destroying radical Islamic terrorism. There must be a declaration of war against radical Islamic terror. There must be an elimination of the administrative state in favor of a return to direct legislation.

There must be an elimination of the Department of Education and a return of education initiatives to the states. There must be a justice appointed to the Supreme Court who is dedicated to upholding the ideological foundations that define the limited government meaning and rights protective meaning of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

It is a tall order. It requires an unwavering commitment. Now President-elect Donald Trump has his moment in history to make an unprecedented difference that will secure America’s place in the world as a bastion of freedom and free enterprise.

Like tens and tens of millions of Americans I was praying the night of the election (except for the two hour radio show I did that night). Been praying steadily for months that lifetime criminal, Hillary Clinton, would never step foot in the White House again.

What happened Tuesday night was nothing short of a miracle. (Signs of divine intervention in Trump victory) Despite all the lies, the collusion between the completely discredited ‘mainstream media’ and the Clinton camp and huge voter problems in many states, Donald Trump won enough electoral college delegates to become president-elect.

True to her SOP (standard operating procedure), Clinton kept the media and every one else waiting an hour and fifteen minutes for her concession speech the day after the election. The crook did not make her concession speech once the race was called in the wee hours of the morning because allegedly she couldn’t stop crying. “It’s so quiet at Clinton’s HQ that you can hear an email being deleted” is a comment made by someone; I don’t have an attribution.

I’ll just bet. Once a new Attorney General is confirmed and hopefully a new FBI Director, Bill and Hill will be spending all those millions from the Clinton Foundation on defense attorneys. Email crimes: the statute of limitations has not run out.

Joe DiGenova: FBI agents refused orders to destroy laptops and they still exist

Clinton Foundation: A prime RICO case. Several committees in Congress are going to resume investigations in January. I believe this will also be investigated: Flashback- When the Clintons Loved Russia Enough to Sell Them Our Uranium

Thank you to these courageous FBI agents:

FBI Agents Say Comey ‘Stood In The Way’ Of Clinton Email Investigation: “According to Washington D.C. attorney Joe DiGenova, more FBI agents will be talking about the problems at the bureau and specifically the handling of the Clinton case by Comey when Congress comes back into session and decides to force them to testify by subpoena.

“DiGenova told WMAL radio’s Drive at Five last week, “People are starting to talk. They’re calling their former friends outside the bureau asking for help. We were asked today to provide legal representation to people inside the bureau and agreed to do so and to former agents who want to come forward and talk. Comey thought this was going to go away.” (Joseph diGenova served in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia including RICOs and much more.)

Russia had nothing to do with hacking our elections or anything else. Another blatant lie from the Clinton machine to keep voters distracted. If Clinton had gone back to the White House I believe as so many others, we would be engulfed in WWIII in less than a year. A very important read during the coming long winter – free on line: Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution by Antony C. Sutton

Was the USSR an evil empire? Yes! It was also created by the USA.

“Don’t believe me? Inform yourselves by reading Antony C. Sutton’s book entitled ‘Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution’. Did Stalin kill millions of people including Ukrainians? Yes. Did the New York Times cover-up Stalin’s genocide? Yes. Did the Wall Street bankers fund arms through Russia used against U.S. Soldiers in Vietnam? Yes. Is Putin a saint? No. Putin is ex-KGB (USSR) and as a requirement of staying in power must deal with the corrupt oligarchs left over from the USSR era and the newly minted mafiosi in Russia today. While all of this is true, don’t confuse the old Soviet USSR (existed between 1922 and 1991) with the current Russian Federation. They are not the same.

“The ‘Anglo-American Establishment‘ of international bankers who run the USA are after a one world government. Putin still believes in the ‘nation state’ as most Americans do. This, my friends, is what the real battle with Russia is all about. The propaganda you read and watch in the Western press is orchestrated by the same people who are shredding the U.S. Constitution and would enslave you. Get a clue. By buying into and repeating the Western propaganda against Russia, you are unwittingly promoting the sacrifice of your sons and daughters to advance the NWO’s agenda and your own enslavement.” -David Brown

Clinton supporters have been going insane since Trump was announced the winner. From the sewer called Hollywood, hot shot musicians and singers to the ethically bankrupt in the U.S. Congress. Immature cry-baby bed wetters are also in meltdown:

• Campus meltdown over President Trump: Yale professor scraps exam for students struggling with election result while other colleges offer counseling
• ‘Fearful’ students demand day off to cry about Trump – ‘Some people are literally scared for their lives’
• Bay Area High Schools Stage Walk-Outs to Protest Trump Win
• Despondent Democrats Bring ‘Therapy Dogs’ to Capitol Hill After Trump Victory
• Plot to impeach President Trump has already begun

• ‘So who’s going to assassinate Trump?’ Twitter erupts with calls for the Donald to be killed after he wins the election
• ‘People Have to Die’: Anti-Trump Protester Calls For Violence on CNN
• FAA Implements No-Fly Zone Over Trump Tower – Police have also put a huge barrier around the front of Trump Tower so people and residents can get in and out without the protesters putting them in harm’s way.

When ineligible Obama was installed twice as our fake president did millions of us take to the streets burning police cars, the American flag, businesses and beating up Obama supporters? NO.

Silicon Valley billionaires are afraid Trump will bring jobs home FOR AMERICANS from Communist China, India, Japan and all the other countries where labor is dirt cheap: Silicon Valley investors kickstart campaign urging California to BREAK AWAY from the US as searches for ‘secession’ soar after election result

Trump looks to showing his negotiator skills soon after he’s sworn in:

• Canada PM says ready to renegotiate NAFTA with Trump
• Mexico says ready to ‘modernize’ NAFTA with Trump
• The Trans-Pacific Partnership is dead, Schumer tells labor leaders – Had Trump not been elected, no doubt the TPP would have gone through in the lame duck session and signed into ‘law’ by the impostor in the White House.

And, of course, George Soros, evil in human form, has spread around his wealth to fund anarchy and so the violent demonstrations began last night:

Look at these sickening pictures. The protesters in Oakland, California were flying the Mexican flag: Anti-Trump protests turn violent: “Cops clash with 6,000-strong crowd in Oakland and activists block roads in LA amid nationwide demonstrations that saw Madonna and Cher join 7,000 in NYC.” Plans are already in the works for a massive inauguration day protest that no doubt will turn violent. Perhaps God will give us another miracle and let it snow about 4 feet. Trump can get sworn in inside a building by the rotten U.S. Supreme Chief Justice John Roberts.

All the usual untrue signs about Trump being a racist (Flashback: Rev. Jesse Jackson Praises Trump for ‘Reaching Out and Being Inclusive’) (Are you ready to come with me to Washington?’: Former Apprentice star Omarosa reveals what The Donald said to her when he went into ‘full Trump mode’ immediately after beating Hillary – Ms. Omarosa is black). Thousands of people who are Mexican, South American, black or white all work for Trump’s various businesses both here and abroad.

• 33% of Latino Men, 26% of Latino Women, and 52% of White Women Voted for Donald Trump
• Woman Who Accused Trump Of Rape When She Was 13 Made The Whole Story Up

Facts don’t matter to the brainwashed.

One of the many Trump memes during the campaign and one he frequently brought up at rallies was ‘drain the swamp’. Trump exposed the two parties for what they really are and how corrupt the ethically bankrupt the media in this country is. He pounded on institutional corruption and massive failure by the government – that WOULD be the U.S. Congress. Drain the swamp! towards the end of his campaign.

Unfortunately, the voters failed to do that because with the exception of a handful of seats for both parties, virtually the same current members of CON-gress are going back to Washington, DC in January.

I’ve written until I’m blue in the face that the primaries is when you drain the swamp. The real election starts during the primary season for Congress, governors, state houses, sheriffs and so forth. If voters don’t oust incumbents during the primaries come election day and you’re a Republican then you vote for your incumbent; same goes for Democrat voters. How then does anyone expect anything to change if Americans keep reelecting the same Band Aid pushers?

• Re-electing the Band Aid Brigade, May 8, 2010
• Electing New Band Aid Pushers, May 23, 2012

Rat Paul Ryan gave a presser earlier this week where he said Trump has set a mandate! How many post-elections have we heard the same drivel only for incumbents to betray we the people? I don’t know how many Republicans I’ve watched on FOX since Tuesday saying the people’s voice has been heard. Really?

It was heard in 2010, 2012 and 2014 while Republicans in Congress continued to destroy to destroy this country. While they continued to pass UNPAYABLE massive budgets using borrowed money and bowing down to the fraud in the White House. And, somehow in 2017 these same rats are going to suddenly change their ways? What kind of revolution is that?

The Republicans had control of both houses of Congress part of the time during Bush, Jr.’s two terms. Did they lock down our borders? NO.

Did they pass legislation to stop ALL funding for illegals which would self-deport millions of liars, cheats and thieves? NO. (READ, please: How to Self-Deport Millions of Illegals)

Did they stop trillions in unconstitutional spending? NO.

Did they get rid of any of Clinton’s unconstitutional Executive Orders? One or two but otherwise let Comrade Bill Clinton crap in our faces.

Did they get rid of one unconstitutional cabinet like HHS, Department of Education and EPA? NO.

Did they stop the unconstitutional foreign aid? NO.

Did they stop unconstitutional spending for Planned Parenthood? NO. Congress just continues to use borrowed money to spend more debt.

Did they stop unconstitutional spending for the gigantic hoax called global warming or climate change? NO. Trump: The Left Just Lost The War On Climate Change

Did Bush, Jr., get us out of all the destructive trade treaties killing American jobs? NO.

Did they crack down on visas bringing in tens of thousands of foreign workers when American workers who want to work are left in the unemployment line? NO.

Did they stop more and more federal regulations strangling America’s businesses? NO.

Did they impeach one single activist judge destroying our freedom and liberty? NO.

A Republican controlled Congress with a Republican in the White House and they did virtually NOTHING to restore America to a constitutional republic and constitutional spending.

No declarations of war, just go invade. Spend trillions in borrowed debt in Iraq and Afghanistan for what? Slaughtering innocent men, women and children. For what? Well, the opium trade for one.

• The Spoils of War: Afghanistan’s Multibillion Dollar Heroin Trade
• Drug War? American Troops Are Protecting Afghan Opium. U.S. Occupation Leads to All-Time High Heroin Production

Under the criminal impostor fraud, Obama, while Republicans talked a good talk they continued on with all of the above.

Okay, now once again we have a Republican controlled Congress and will have a Republican president same as part of the Bush years so what do you think is going to happen?

Trump – YES! – wants Congress to introduce a constitutional amendment for term limits. Members of Congress cannot be recalled; it requires a constitutional amendment. Act surprised: Sen. Mitch McConnell said two days after the election regarding Trump’s 100-day plan, “I would say we have term limits now – they’re called elections”. Oh, that’s rich, Mitch.

Once again this past Tuesday we saw electronic and human voter fraud all across this country. It’s why constitutionalists like me and so many others who’ve run against an incumbent can’t get into office and dirty rats like McConnell keep getting reelected. Not to mention the critically important issue of the non-ratified Seventeenth Amendment and why it’s been so destructive to our republic.

Trump fought off a disgraced media, all the personal attacks, vicious lies and betrayal by so called Republicans. Rat Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are globalists. Make no mistake about that. Their gravy train are those destructive trade treaties not to mention allowing a damned dangerous invasion of tens of thousands of Muslims into this country.

They say they will work with Trump. No, they want Trump to cave into their agenda. Well, they’d better hold on to their tighty-whities because while Trump is not a constitutionalist yet (we can pray.), he’s also nobody’s fool. He’s a street fighter from New York. He has given his word to we the people he’s going to re-negotiate job killing treaties and try to do the other things he spoke about on the campaign trail.

If Congress doesn’t get legislation introduced, for example, to get rid of tens of thousands of unnecessary regulations by unconstitutional cabinets like the EPA, he will get in their faces. Trump will have the power of the bully pulpit, ability to call press conferences AND Trump is a master of social media. But, he can’t do it alone. I know everyone is election weary so I’ll save that discussion for a future column. For now, Hillary Clinton has been stopped and we can pray her next stop, along with Bill & Chelsea, is a federal prison.

America Deserves Better!

Mr. President, who is giving you your advice on those for your cabinet?

I am an ordinary citizen who helped get you elected to bring some reason and sense to our government and I feel I have an obligation to tell you this: 

PLEASE get away from the Washington establishment as you are choosing your appointments. One of the many reasons we supported and elected you was because you weren’t the establishment or a politician and many names that are on this list are establishment neocons and those that have looked to changing our Constitution completely and are leaning to a New World Order. Washington is and has been corrupt for some time and we need to put some of these people in their place. 

This is the main reason we voted for you, Mr. Trump, because of the corruption in Washington – I will NOT put the blame totally on Obama since the corruption from both branches to include the previous White Houses has been there for a long time and I can prove it. Moderate Democrats certainly did not vote for you to find themselves faced with individuals who are the head of various departments that have been involved in nefarious actions toward the people of this country and have no respect for the Constitution.

If what we wanted was the status quo we would have just picked one of the other 16 that were standing on the Primary stage with you. You aren’t a politician so why does everyone heading up your cabinet have to be??? There are so many smart, decent individuals around this country for you to choose from and if it doesn’t work out at first, you try again.

We have idiots on our streets who are not hard working Americans like us who pay their bills and take care of their families, but spoiled, entitled, lazy kids who have been brainwashed by grossly liberal college and university professors like Bill Ayers and Arne Duncan who will now tell you they are Socialists or Communists. You didn’t see those of us who were against the 8 Communist years of Obama out on the streets calling for war, murder, and burning buildings because we lost an election.

Please sir, you must take a clearer look at America and not short change her people – get away from the establishment politicians who have been acting like we work for them and have totally ignored our distress for years – the very reason for the initial rise of the Tea Parties. My suggestions below are my opinion from the research I have done and experiences I have faced with my own politicians! Some of the names are from the posted list with my additional suggestions. If there is no comment on someone on the list, than I have no opinion and/or do not know of the person.

List of Potential Trump Cabinet Nominees:

Attorney General:

For more than thirty years he has practiced law, with emphasis on constitutional issues. He is also one of our country’s most eminent constitutional attorneys, having brought four cases that were accepted by the Supreme Court and having won three of them. In the supreme Court of the United States he successfully argued or briefed the cases leading to the landmark decisions Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, and Communications Workers of America v. Beck, which established constitutional and statutory limitations on the uses to which labor unions, in both the private and the public sectors, may apply fees extracted from nonunion workers as a condition of their employment.

He is the world’s most foremost authority on the role of our Constitution as it relates to money and has written numerous monographs and articles in scholarly journals, and lectured throughout the county. His most recent work on money and banking is the two-volume Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution (2002), the most comprehensive study in existence of American monetary law and history viewed from a constitutional perspective. 

Gov. Chris Christie – NO – better suited for another job!

Sen. Jeff Sessions – Unless he wants an appointment America needs him in the Senate – someone with common sense and a level head to replace Mitch McConnell. If he chooses to accept an appointment he would be good at any one of them suggested.
