Regarding government, I believe in two adages. First, if more government is the answer, it was an extremely stupid question! Second, “Trust the Government”, said NO Founding Father ever! Upon reflection, both are very similar, but, considering what’s going on with this government, both are valid points!

As mentioned in the previous post, the General Election six weeks ago will be bringing major changes to the United States starting January 20th, 2025, just a month away. As expected, the rats (in this case, the DemocRats) are not scurrying to abandon ship. In fact, they may be trying to scuttle the ship. The Ship of State, that is. It appears as though they realize that, if they can’t maintain control, they’ll just completely destroy the ship. And it looks like they’ve primed the charges. They want to crash the economy!

As mentioned in the previous post, America is broke, in debt to the tune of $36.245,000,000,000 (that’s over $36 Trillion). Currently, we are spending over $2T more than the government is taking in as taxes. Put into perspective, that’s $271,800 of debt for every taxpayer in the country. Our national debt now is 123.4% of the Gross Domestic Product of the United States. As a country, we are on a cliff. For the last 15-20 years, the image of us driving off that cliff, resulting in an economical crash, has been drawn. Our spending is unsustainable! We are peering over the edge of that cliff now.

One of the few things the US Congress is required by law to do is to pass a budget. It’s been 27 years since they passed all of their appropriation bills. Since that time, there have been a long series of Continuing Resolutions and Omnibus spending bills. The CR’s have been overinflated spending appropriations, with a end date to give Congress enough time to pass a budget. Sadly, it doesn’t happen. It’s easier to pass the CR than the debates and reconciliations for the budget. Unfortunately, it also provides Congress with a large excess of our money to spend. Especially since Covid broke out. Congress increased spending to combat the Scamdemic, and that extra spending has been incorporated into each subsequent CR. The Omnibus bills are far worse. They take the proposed inflated CR then add in a huge amount of pork spending, then toss in a bunch laws that would never see the light of day on their own!

And that’s where we sit today. Funding provided by the last Omnibus bill ends tomorrow night, 20 December, 2024 at midnight. Congress tried their best to pass a CR, that turned into an Omnibus. It was a huge spending bill, with a great amount of wasteful pork that will serve no one but advance some politicians agenda. This particular bill would also quash subpoenas from Trump’s incoming Department of Justice for various Deep State operatives from ever being investigated. Over the last four years, our government has violated the Bill of Rights on numerous occasions! This provision gives cover for those people over the rights of citizens.

Oh, yeah. The spending bill also gives Congresspeople a substantial pay raise. rank and file Representatives and Senators make $174,000 per year; the median income of those for whom they work, those they represent is currently $39,853. Yet our Congresspeople work less that half of the year. Add to that the fact that a huge number of them exit Congress worth much more than when they entered “public service”. So, tell me why they feel they are worthy of a raise. Their job is to represent you. Do you feel well represented?

Apparently not! Late last night, it started to appear that thiis spending bill would not come upp for a vote. Speaker Johnson says he wants a “clean” CR, just the bare minimum for the government to run until March. It will still probably be inflated. Otherwise, the government shuts down midnight tomorrow. On the other hand, in the news this morning, a report the FEMA in Tennessee wants a Stop Work Order for people working on hurricane damaged homes unless they obtain a special “floodplain development permit”. Since FEMA has done so little for areas devastated by Hurricane Helene in TN and NC and has been more of a hinderance, perhaps a shutdown would help the situation.

More to come…

It’s been slightly over a month since President Trump won election (re-election) and most of the cabinet and advisory slots have been announced. Those selections have caused a lot of liberal and Deep State heads to explode. Only one of the candidates, Matt Gaetz, has pulled his name from consideration. Just this week, he announced that he was taking a position as host of a show on One America News Network. I am a bit irate that Newsmax called OANN a “fringe” network, as they were correct more often than any other network on those “conspiracy theories” that turned out to be truths. But, that’s neither here nor there.

For the record, most of the candidates have my support, for whatever good that does. I’d prefer an Attorney General who is much more supportive of the Second Amendment. I’d prefer a Secretary of State who isn’t/hasn’t been a huge supporter of amnesty. That being said, the bulk of the candidates I’m supportive of. The Election of 2024 was a mandate against the Deep State. In order to end this anti-American cult will require just this sort of individual. There will be drastic changes! There’s going to be a mass exodus from government employ. Let’s face it; if the vast majority of government workers are still working remotely, how can there be accountability? Where’s the efficiency? There’s a huge amount of office space owned by the government, that’s not being efficiently utilized! And, just so you are aware, those new hires the Biden Administration is so proud of, the majority of them were new government hires!

Now for a major News Break: the United States is broke! When President Trump takes office in a little over one month, there needs to be changes. The result of those changes will cause either a boost in production and a reduction of spending or a late October,1929 type economy! Staying the course, as it is under Biden, will definitely cause the latter. The Federal Reserve needs to end! For the first 124 years of our country, we operated just fine without such an organization. In fact, we operated fine without the Internal Revenue Service, started in 1913 with the Federal Reserve! Currently, the Chairman of the Reserve is refusing to step down.

National Security is an outright mess. Our open borders are allowing foreign, single, military age men into the country. Far too many have nefarious intentions. Any day could find us facing the terrorist attack of all terrorist attacks and it will have been brought on by the Biden Administration. Of course, don’t forget about all those subjects of human trafficking and the drug trade! National intelligence is a joke! We have a rogue Department of (In)Justice. For the last several years, Christopher Wray, Director of the FBI, has obfuscated investigations from the House and Senate Oversight Committees in regards to agents in the crowds of the Capitol protests. This week, the Inspector General told Congress, finally, revealed there were 26 agents mixed in with the crowd. I’ll bet there were more…

Currently, we have a serious situation going on. Apparently, unidentified drones have free reign over our nation. Well, several states anyway. The intelligence community has no idea what they are or their mission. The same Spokesidiot who said that the Afghanistan withdrawal was a near flawless operation, is now telling us not to worry about these drones! I’m a bit surprised that no effort to shoot down a drone has happened, but then again, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut are not exactly gun friendly areas. However, I’ve heard that drones may have overflown Trump’s New Jersey residence in Bedminster. To add to this, a drone was reported over a US military site in Germany. Do we have no sovereignty anymore?

The elections are over. The non-stop lies coming from the political ads has thankfully ended. The desperation of the Democratic Socialist Party to get a candidate that has never gotten a single vote through two primary cycles into the Oval Office as President has been thwarted. Donald Trump was re-elected, becoming the second President to serve two non-consecutive terms, behind Grover Cleveland. The Senate was decided by the end of last week and the House was determined just a couple of days ago. Well, almost. Pennsylvania decided to declare an automatic recount for their senate seat, wanting to add in ballots that the courts had determined to be invalid.

Regardless of the Pennsylvania recount, Republicans have control of the Presidency, the House and the Senate. The voters had cried out for change from ‘what had been’. They were tired of the border invasion, the crime, the influx of drugs, the DEI and the rest of the evils the DemSocialists called good! It was a mandate; Trump had won not only the Electoral College but also the popular vote! There were many first-time voters, most breaking for the Republicans, as did many more of the black and Hispanic vote than expected.

The GOP, under the leadership of Michael Whatley and Lara Trump, did an excellent job of handling the vote integrity issues before they went to far. Of course, the length of time between the time the polls closed and the last ballot being counted was a cause of query. If Florida and Texas can count all of their ballots over night, why do some require two weeks to count theirs? The longer the length of time ‘needed’, the more likely the cheat happens! And Voter ID was a problem. Amazingly, as proof of the necessity of have to show an ID, every state won by Kamala required NO ID!

Now, President Trump (I prefer that title than President-elect but both are valid) is naming those he wants in his Administration. And, of course, his choices are causing leftist heads to explode! The common reasons they give for why they dislike the choice is because they are too young or they don’t have the experience needed for the position. Either excuse actually means that the person picked for a position isn’t grounded in the mud of the swamp. They won’t go along with the status quo established by both the DemSocialists and the Socialist-lite Republicans. That’s exactly why Trump is choosing them. The goal is to root out the swamp creatures that is infecting the government and increasing the bureaucracy.

Earlier this week, both Houses of Congress held their leadership elections. Mike Johnson was elected unanimously as the House Speaker. The Senate held a three way vote for Majority Leader between John Cornyn, John Thune and Rick Scott. (Personally, I was holding out for Rand Paul, but…) Anyway, they elected the middle ground, John Thune, who is still rated by Conservative Review as an ‘F’ only a few points above Cornyn. The ‘B’ Conservative, Scott, came in third.

Meanwhile, the Sewer Stream Media is going crazy, excuse me- crazier, as the mandate is being realized. Viewership is way down. Lay-offs are on-going. CNN has law suits filed against them and MSNBC has been put on sale. Things are getting exciting!

There’s eleven days left before the final day for Americans to express their opinions. The choices available for us is simple: do we want to continue in the same direction we are currently taking, or do we want something better? I’ve already made my choice a few days ago. I’ve had more than enough of the high inflation, floundering economy, lack of safety, and no border security!

I’m not alone! I’ve been working a polling place in North Carolina for a candidate, Mark Robinson for Governor, since polls opened eight days ago. I’ve heard many voters talking about the same feelings I just described. I’ve also seen those voters who want to go down the same path we’ve been on for the past almost four years. They’ll turn their back to me and/or mumble something derogatory. They’ll completely ignore me as I wish them a good day. I’ve been asked why they should vote for my candidate and I’ll gladly tell as many reasons as they need.

This has been an extremely dirty election cycle. Democrats have nothing upon which to run. The whole concept of “for the betterment of Democracy” went out the window when they forced Joe Biden, who earned 14M votes during the albeit shortened primary, out of the race and told everyone in the party that their candidate was now Kamala Harris, who earned zero votes! For the three months afterward, she has managed to be on both sides of every issue. Now that she is giving mostly scripted interviews on friendly “news” outlets, she has yet to give a coherent policy statement on where she stands on anything! No one knows her policies. She has alienated slightly more than half of the population. Just a few days ago, she even told Christians that they were in the wrong rally!

It’s gotten down to combatting lies! They compare Trump to Hitler, although theirs is the side that is using the exact same techniques employed by the Nazis. The own the media; what they don’t control, they try to squelch. They use lawfare against those who don’t agree with them. They are not above throwing someone that opposes them in prison without trial. They do these things while telling anyone who will listen that, if elected, Trump will do these things! All the Democrats have are lies. They misrepresent policy statements. They take anything out of context. They apply innuendo and transfer what they themselves do upon their opponent. They’ve done this to President Trump on the national level and Mark Robinson on the state level. I believe less than 5% of their claims!

I’m down in the back today and trying hard to recover. I’ll be back at the polls tomorrow working for my candidate. I urge everyone who hasn’t already voted to do so. Don’t like your choices personally, vote for policies over personality! It’s either America First or America last! If you are looking for the perfect person, remember that there has only been one perfect person and that’s Jesus Christ, my Lord, Savior and King. He’ll be back to reign on His timetable!

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” First Amendment to The Constitution of the United States

Although the US Constitution was a very unique document when it was first created by the Founding Fathers, it took an additional two years to add the Bill of Rights, the first ten Amendments to the Constitution (of which the above was the first). Combined, these ten would act as a deterrent to despotism and tyranny. The Constitution told the Federal Government how it was supposed to function; the Bill of Rights told them what they could not do.

The Elites of the Establishment has no respect for the Constitution. They don’t want anything denying them the control they think they deserve. They don’t want the Right of Religion, because they believe everyone should be worshipping them! They don’t want Freedom of Speech, because they want to control speech, like they control the Press. They don’t want the People to have the Right to Assemble, because that leads to the loss of their control and they certainly don’t want any form of redress, because, in their mind, they know best.

The Right of Religion was attacked by the Elites early on, using Thomas Jefferson’s letter to a Baptist Church regarding the separation of church and state. Nowhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights does that phrase appear, but it was used to create “Freedom From Religion”. That phrase became the lexicon in the never-ending attack on churches by the Elites.

The Freedom of Speech has been on the chopping block for many years, but the Propaganda Ministry (the Press and Big Tech and the DemCommunists Party) has intensified efforts recently, well, at least the last decade. In the Elitist vision, There can only be one side to an issue, their side, and no other viewpoint need apply! If someone pushes an opposing view, the comment gets banned and/or the someone gets doxxed, causing verbal or even physical attacks.

The silencing was bad under Obama. It got worse during COVID. The Elite’s vision was everyone needed to get the mRNA Vaccine. The fact that the stuff that went into the vaccine were deadly poisonous. There were around a dozen ingredients, that if I introduced any one of them into a body, I could be arrested for murder. Add in the SB40 compound, basically a catalyst for cancer, and the vaccine gets much worse! Wonder why cancer is skyrocketing? Any mention of Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin (both later proven effective on COVID) was quickly quashed. During the “virus”, badmouthing the FDA, CDC, HHS was termed misinformation (disinformation) or conspiracy theories, resulting in time in Facebook Jail (you can substitute just about any other Social Media).

Fast forward to now. Since COVID, how many instances of so-called misinformation, disinformation or conspiracy have there been? Question a government agency and you hit a wall of silence. Assemble peacefully to redress the government, as allowed by the Constitution, and you get arrested. Mention any form of perversion and you get smeared. The attack on the First Amendment is alive and well.

The Sewer Stream Media (the state-run propagandists), Big Tech and Big Pharma and the Elites that run them want to destroy the First Amendment. The teeth of the First Amendment rests with the Second Amendment. Any wonder why they want to do away with that as well? Remember this as you go to the polls over the next few weeks!

Today we are nine days into the devastation that was Hurricane Helene, a storm that ravaged Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, as well as Tennessee and Virginia. As is usual, such tragedies bring people together, helping each other regardless of whether they are are friend or stranger.

October in North Carolina is usually beautiful. Tourists come from all around to see the changing of the leaves, the apple festivals, etc. Many of the smaller towns rely on this season for their livelihoods. This year however, some of those towns are gone, swept away by the flood waters. Businesses and crops are lost with them. Houses with all their contents moved from blocks to miles from their starting points. The death toll rises. Yesterday, on Newsmax, the tally was at 215, but by 6PM on the local news (I watch that only for the weather), they were reporting it as “over 200”.

Rescue efforts began immediately after the storm past. Private helicopters started lifting survivors to higher ground. Supplies were being dropped. Many roads were impassable, swept away by the raging waters. Google Maps now has removed I-40 in the mountains from its app all the was into Tennessee. Our “Governor” finally declared the area a Disaster Zone. By that time, our Lt. Governor, who had been on the ground a couple of days, was aiding in the coordination of recovery efforts. Those efforts started small, but grew as more awareness of the situation took hold.

And then, the Bureaucrats began raising their heads. A local Fire Chief started puffing up and demanding the helicopters stop flying, threatening arrest if they landed (with survivors or supplies)! This began happening more often. Not surprisingly, the pilots continued their efforts. When it was noticed that people were using drones to ferry supplies, they tried to stop that. It went all the way up to the Department of Transportation Secretary Mayor Pete made the announcement to stop as it may hamper other flight operations. Those flight operations by the government weren’t happening.

Ronald Reagan made the comment that the nine worst words to hear are, “I’m from the government and I’m hear to help”. He must have been referring to FEMA! The Federal Emergency Management Agency wasn’t there to help. There are two words that should never be used together and that Federal and Management. At first they said they couldn’t do anything until they had the go ahead. After that, they actively hampered rescue efforts. I’m told that supplies sent to help the victims of Helene were being confiscated and stored in warehouses. FEMA isn’t collecting bodies found, so any body count is likely way off, some say by an order of at least tens!

It’s hard for me to believe all this ineptitude is accidental. As of yesterday morning, the military was waiting for military orders to be signed and issued. I don’t know the status as of right now. I understand that the Governor is support to sign them so the military can start rescue and recovery. Why the delay? I’ve heard that sheriffs are starting to talk about arresting FEMA officials if they continue hampering rescues and supply drops. I don’t know if it was a joke or not, but there are a lot of people starting to think that’s a good start!

This barely covers the debacle. During October, TV stations used to concentrate on airing the movies ‘Halloween’ and ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’. What we have, in real life, is a Nightmare in North Carolina. It’s almost like some DemCommunist analyst has convinced people that they can win North Carolina in the upcoming election now that a large portion west of Asheville can’t vote. If that’s the case, they grossly underestimate the determination of patriots in Western North Carolina! I believe their analysis is wrong and will hand the State to Trump, since they have demonstrated that they don’t care for us! But, know that we are fine. Biden said as much upon returning to Washington from his photo-op visit to Asheville. He said, “They’re getting everything they need and they’re very happy across the board’.

The Election Season is in full swing. Some say it’s the most important election in all American history. Others say it’s an election of Capitalism vs. Communism. It is even framed as being Good vs. Evil! While there are valid points to each argument, the fact remains: every election is important!

We, as Americans, are fortunate to be able to vote for the people who ultimately work for us. Far too many countries have rulers where elections are held and the results have already been predetermined, usually with victory margins in the 90’s. Granted, we have had Vote Integrity failures recently, but it hasn’t brought us to the Banana Republic group. Close, but not quite!

We have made inroads to improving voter integrity. Many polling sites have gone to paper ballots over voting machines. Voters have to show ID. Some states have cleaned up voter rolls. Here in North Carolina, the State Board of Elections dropped 747,000 names yesterday. It took several months and a court order to get it done, but… Anyway, it’s a start, but there lightyears to go and we’re taking baby steps.

I’ve mentioned the replacement Agenda before, where they replace the voters who will no longer vote for the DemCommunists with people who will for the freebies! The deny it, but they vote against the SAVE Act, allowing only citizens to vote in Federal elections. Evidently, they know that they need to cheat to win, as they did in 2020, and it’s getting more difficult, they’ve switched to election interference.

When President Trump decided to run for election in 2023, the Biden-Harris Administration started doing whatever they could to throw up roadblocks, using the Department of (In)Justice. This resulted in 90+ charges against Trump. They found out that every new charge added to Trump’s support! Now, they’ve changed course again and it appears that they’ve decided to allow Iran (or some other evil entity) to get rid of him. It’s amazing how inept an government agency can be when its leadership demands it!

However, the DemCommunists haven’t completely ruled out their smear campaign. As proof, I offer you Mayor Eric Adams. Now, I’ve not supported Adams beliefs or actions at all, but, as long as he walked to the left of the Biden-Harris agenda, he was fine. But then the Administration started shipping illegals straight into New York. Add to that the illegals Texas began to bus into New York City and Adams began to reach a boiling point. He started speaking out about the huge number of illegals in his city and the huge amount of money it was costing. Suddenly, there are all kinds of investigations, resulting in indictments, unveiled this week. I’m sure that those charges will be taken away if he just falls back in line with his DemCommunist bosses!

As I’ve mentioned, I live in North Carolina and we have a vicious Governor’s race going on. The DemCommunist candidate has been smearing the Republican candidate with out of context comments and a corrupt investigation from a state agency with a very questionable relationship linked to the Dem candidate. Then, last week, the smear campaign against Mark Robinson intensified. CNN dropped a scandalous allegation against Mark. This was just two days after the DemCommunist refused a debate with Robinson, prompting backlash from North Carolinians who wanted a debate on ISSUES! The AP was unable to verify. CNN has long been the echo chamber for the DemCommunist Party; anything underhanded, they are the go to. Why anyone would watch the channel, I certainly haven’t a clue. They are a complete embarrassment!

I support Mark Robinson! I volunteer for his campaign. The smear job against him makes my support even stronger! I will be out there at the polls for Mark Robinson starting 17 October when early voting begins. I hope the law firm Mark hired nails CNN again for their dishonest reporting!

My morning today began at 5AM with my Bible. As the sun began to rise, I lowered my flags to half staff. It was 23 years ago that terrorists commandeered four jet airliners, flying them into each of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. The fourth plane flew into the ground in Pennsylvania, after passengers, realizing the scope of the events, heroically rebelled against the terrorists, thwarting the plans to fly the plane into another important target. The lowered flags honors the response in the aftermath!

Immediately, First Responders rushed to the scenes in New York City, Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In NYC, Police and Firefighters ran into the damaged buildings in an effort to rescue their fellow citizens, with no thought of their own safety. Tragically, the Twin Towers fell, resulting in 2977 deaths, including 343 FDNY firefighters, 71 NYPD law enforcement officers and 37 members of the Port Authority Police Department.

Every generation has its definable moment that everyone remembers. The people from 1914-1918 had World War One. The late 1920’s to 1940 had the Great Depression. Those from 1941 to 1945 remember World War Two. Everyone remembers where they were when John F Kennedy was shot and killed. I certainly remember it, as well as when Ronald Reagan was shot less that 20 years later. Those who were at least 15 years of age and above more than likely remember those events of September 11, 2001.

On that morning, I had started my day arriving at work around 8AM. I was the Human Resource Manager for the company and I was checking in with the sales staff. I worked for a construction staffing service, placing journeymen construction workers on jobsites across the country. After the first plane hit the North Tower, our receptionist called me to tell me what had just happened. I rushed into the breakroom, where the TV was on. Fifteen minutes later, the second plane crashed into the South Tower and everyone in the room knew we were under attack! Shortly after, The phone started ringing in my office. We had between 25%-30% of our jobsites on military bases. After the second plane, the military went on high alert and closed all bases to everyone not military personnel. Our construction workers were being escorted off bases.

My flags, the flags of the nation, today, are at half staff, as I mentioned. It is to honor those who lost their lives that day. It’s to honor those who have lost their lives from the toxic environment from the subsequent clean up. We continue 23 years later to lose people from that day’s events. But we honor the spirit America showed immediately after all those initial lives were lost. Within hours of the collapse of those towers, I began getting phone calls from workers wanting to volunteer their services toward the clean-up. We had been hit, but we were not down! That spirit is still there today.

That day, we began to say “Never Forget” and “Always Remember”. We need to honor that. People who are 30 or below were either not born then or too young to remember that day. We need to tell them what happened. We need to tell them of the heroes that day and who came later. Let’s honor them by remembering!

Well, it’s election season again. Once upon a time, they only gave you one day to vote. I remember the lines. There was around an hour or two to do your civic duty and we were glad to do it. Then, they added a few more days and then they made it a week. Now, I believe it’s two and a half weeks. If you need even more time, you can ask for a mail-in ballot; with that you can have almost two months. Here in North Carolina, I think we have the earliest time for mail-in ballot to go out September 6th. That was until the State Board of Elections was ordered by a judge this morning to remove Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s name from all ballots! So, that’s where we are here in North Carolina, waiting for the newly reprinted ballots, hopefully with the appropriate paper.

So, it truly is a season. There is absolutely no good reason not to vote. Can’t find the time? During the early voting period, surely you can find the 30 minutes to an hour it takes to cast your ballot, including standing in line. All it takes is a little time management. With mail-in, you can even vote late at night or early in the morning. As for myself, I prefer voting in person. But, to be honest, I’m usually at the polls anyway. I’m retired and am there working for an issue or candidate, or both. Voting is important to me.

I have not missed an opportunity to vote, to do my civic responsibility. I am a citizen and millions of Americans have fought, and many died, for my rights, among them the right to vote! I do my homework. I look at the candidates to find the ones that best match my views. I am a Conservative and I look for those values in the candidates. I certainly don’t hide the fact that I am Conservative; everyone who knows me, knows where I stand. People ask me who I’m voting for and I’m happy to tell them.

However, I’m shocked with some of the things I’ve heard lately. For instance, ten million legal gun owners and hunters aren’t registered to vote! Really? I have to believe they are supporters of the Second Amendment. Here we are with Kamala Harris saying she will confiscate guns and she knows how to do it. We have Tim Walz, her running mate, saying he wants to ban the type of weapons of war that he didn’t carry into war! If you want to keep your guns, go register to vote and get out there and vote!

Even more shocking is the 25-30 Million Christians who don’t vote! With all the evil being taught in our schools, walking the streets late at night or even the brutal takeover of apartment complexes in Aurora, CO or Chicago, IL. you would think Christians would want to voice there values. They should want candidates that mirror their Christian values. I vote against abortion, LGBTQetc in the classroom, boys in the girls’ bathrooms and sports. I want charter schools and Christian schools for our children. I am a member of various Christian groups that take their values into politics.

James Madison said, “Every man who loves peace, every man who loves his country, every man who loves liberty ought to have it ever before his eyes that he may cherish in his heart a due attachment to the Union of America and be able to set a due value on the means of preserving it.” That was in 1788. Today, that means of preserving it is for every citizen, man or woman, needs to go out there and vote!

This coming Monday, 19 August, 2024, the Democrat National Convention begins in Chicago. I vaguely remember the 1968 Democrat National Convention. It was marred by the groups of war protesters against the war in Vietnam, but the biggest thing I remember was the Ku Klux Klan marching down the street in support of the DNC. It really wasn’t surprising since the KKK got it’s start as the militant arm of the Democrat Party after the Civil War.

This year, just four weeks after Joe Biden announced he was ending his run for the Presidency and, almost as an after thought, announcing his endorsement of Kamala Harris, the Convention commences with a nominee who hasn’t received a single vote from the People to earn that nomination. In 2020, Harris struggled to get higher than 1% in polls before she left her race for President prior to the contest in Iowa, then the first race in the nation. She was later chosen as the Vice President nominee, after Biden said he was looking for a “woman of color” as his partner on his ticket.

The Democrat National Convention is usually interesting from Day One. In 2012, on the first day, they were setting their platform. In prior years, it was normal to include God in the platform, but not this year. God was actually booed three times , after it was brought up for a vote. Finally, it was added to the platform without a vote. This year, the first day keynote speakers are going to be Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. It’s a bit strange for the sitting President to speak at the DNC on the first day; you would think that would be reserved for the third or fourth day, but not if the nominee, Kamala, wants to separate herself from Joe. But, that’s not going to be easy! Let’s face it, Joe picked her to handle the Border situation, calling on her to go to the Latin American countries to get them to stop the flow of migrants. They laughed in Harris’ face. On the economic front, Harris cast the deciding vote in the Senate to pass the so called “Inflation Reduction Act”, which was nothing more than a massive spending bill that did nothing but speed up inflation! Every issue advocated by Biden, she was in complete agreement. Even the debacle that was the Afghan withdrawal, she said she was the last person in the room during the mess!

Let’s look at the two people who will emerge as the Democrat ticket for President and Vice President. Kamala Harris started as a San Francisco DA who was soft on crime. On two separate high-profile murders, she refused to go for the death penalty, despite it being called for by the family in one case and the police in the other. In the latter case, a police officer was murdered. As Attorney-General, her next position, she was especially hard on black users of marijuana. When questioned as to whether she had ever used it, she just laughed! We know what has happened during her term as Vice President. As a candidate for President, she so-far has refused to do an interview and won’t debate for another three weeks!

Her running mate, Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz has a lot of issues, including signing the bill into law requiring tampon dispensers in the boy bathrooms in schools and refusing to call in the National Guard for three days while Minneapolis burned during protests after George Floyd’s death. His background has some huge questions, biggest of which is his military record. The damage done to one of his cities was in the billions of dollars, but, I imagine, the Covid funds to the states somewhat compensated.

Together, Harris and Walz, if elected, mean disaster for the country. Already, Harris has mentioned handling high prices by the same government price controls used by Cuba and Venezuela. In both of those countries, those measures caused empty shelves and starving people. Remember, in the Senate, Harris was rated THE most liberal Senator in her voting record, even to the left of Bernie Sanders, a self-avowed Socialist! They have no respect for the Constitution; they even believe they have the ability to confiscate our guns! It is the first rule, after all, of Communist countries. Under them, you can count on open borders with amnesty, cartels at our Southern Border smuggling trafficked humans and drugs, higher crime rates and increased chances of war! We’ve had that for almost four years. Who in their right mind would want four more years of that?
