The Illegal Immigration Problem Will Still Persist
I was seriously alarmed listening to radio host Hugh Hewitt’s interview with Attorney General, Jeff Sessions on the subject of illegal immigration. In fact I couldn’t believe my ears when Hewitt argued on the basis of unfounded compassion “for the children” who are separated from their parents when apprehended at the border, to which Mr. Jeff Sessions replied, their is no compassion when children are separated from their parents when parents are headed for prison! I made the same observation in a recent essay on the subject.
Mr. Hewitt assumed a “compassionate conservative” attitude about the poor illegal immigrants children being taken (snatched) away from their parents at the borders. During the interview he persisted in tempting AG Sessions to express a level of compassion too .He did not. AG Sessions held his ground on the basis of the law.and rightly pointed out that the majority of those children were teens or young adults anyway.
Hugh Hewitt then asked: “There’s an organization called Kids in Need of Defense, and, they’re liberal activists, but they have a point that these children deserve representation, because many of them are eligible for asylum or refugee status. You’re the chief law enforcement officer. Are you guaranteeing that these 10,000 children have adequate access to legal counsel?” That entire premise is wrong. I contend, these people deserve no representation at our expense because they are stateless people and have no call for our protections. They are entitled to protection in custody, a bed, food and water and that’s it. That satisfies our moral duty.
This whole illegal aliens business, has been turned into a touchy feely, sobbing exercise in unwarranted compassion for the ignorant masses crashing our borders. Permitting it relaxes our defenses and diminishes our security. The porous border with Mexico, due to its ease of passage, is a magnet for the worlds worst now including Chinese tongs, Islamic Jihadists, drug cartels, MS-13 gang members and who knows what other criminal types?
When caught, they’ve been coached to simply claim ‘amnesty’ and demand entry. Except for Cuban’s and maybe Venezuelans now, no other South American country’s citizens should expect “amnesty.” But, that problem can be solved if Congress, gets over it’s hand wringing deliberations on DACA, make claiming amnesty applicable only at US Ports of Entry and nowhere else. Illegal DACA children are still Stateless People. DACA was one of Obama’s “pen and phone’ deals, not supported by law, not ratified by Congress not agreed to by Americans, but, a feel good policy created out of thin air to up the Democrat voter rolls. Dispensing drivers licenses and voter ID cards to illegals, as California does, diminishes the very basis of our representative government, not to mention their drivers licenses in out of state jurisdictions.
Clearly Congress is disconnected from the will of the American people unable as they are to make a decision as the law provides, on stopping the invasion of America. Half of California’s Mexicans are against DACA because it steals from their legitimacy. On top of that, California is almost bankrupt yet the Progressive government still piles on more freebies for illegals.
Members of congress, whose only goal is their re-election, must face the demands of their constituents, for and against, amnesty. The majority is “anti” amnesty yet, the loudest screaming voices for amnesty and work authorizations, from the Left, will drive them to legalize millions of illegals who have no desire to become Americans, join our culture, or obey our laws, the will of the people be damned. What an argument for term limits.

Short Takes – America’s Brown Shirts?
Opinion July 6, 2018
America’s Brown Shirts?
Does Maxine Waters represent her version of America’s Brown Shirts? The rash of organized deranged fascists screaming in the faces of Trump supporters, Republican officials and anyone with a MAGA hat, is emblematic of Ernst Roehm’s Brown Shirts of a by gone era in a country far, far away. Roehm directed violence against anyone who did not render the salute of the National Socialist Party, who tried a to enter a Jewish owned shop of refused to take a SD handout on the glories of National Socialism. To not learn from history is to repeat it.
What is the difference between Maxine Waters directing her followers to harass Trump conservatives in cafes, restaurants and public places, and Ernst Roehm’s directing his Brown Shirts to destroy Jewish property as was done on “Crystal-night?”
The fact that Maxine Waters, an elderly, ugly black woman is doing her best imitation of Ernst Roehm, a fat ugly white Jew hater, is proof enough that for America’s Progressives any nut job can become a despotic leader of anarchists when he/she is determined to overturn, by threats, violence and intimidation, the will of the people.
This is not good and will not turn out well for them. Even Chuckie Schumer realizes the dangers of an uncivil, dissolving society divided by the policies of Barack Obama, into warring camps of have’s and have not’s, identity groups and base tribalism to enforce their demands.
Why is Maxine Waters screeds at democrat election rallies not considered “Hate Speech?” Why is it not a hate crime for a restaurant owner (Red Hen) to refuse service to customers on her “moral grounds” because they are Republicans not equal to a pastry baker refusing to bake a wedding cake for sodomites on his moral grounds and getting hammered for it?
Democrats, “Hypocrisy is thy name.” How does a failing political party that wants to remain valid in the voters eyes, rid itself of the nut cases that present a clear and present danger to their longevity? Ernst Roehm was never laughed at Indeed, he organized battalions of well controlled street thugs into fascists and, to instill pride, uniformed them in the party’s colors, to show the public who they were, and that they intended to control the streets of German cities.
The legions of anarchists Maxine Waters is encouraging to take to the streets do not goose-step in nifty uniforms singing the Horst Wessel song, they wear “hoodies” and masks to hide their faces from police surveillance filming while they scream and holler trying to drown out the free speech of Conservatives, bash conservative speakers and their followers and destroy private property in their feigned rage and challenge the police sent out to confront them.
They are no longer afraid of the civil authority of municipalities, counties or states. We’ve entered into another era of common place violence, not because it hasn’t happened before, but because there are now so many more of them, and us, that can’t be ignored.
Berkeley, Calif., Portland, Ore., and Baltimore, Md. are three examples of cities under siege by the threats of intimidation by fascist “hoodies,” who magically appear on the streets to ‘protest’ the presence of any conservative speaker, event, parade or rally, that doesn’t comport to their demands for inclusivity, multiculturalism and diversity, all the society divisive tenants of Marxism. America is arming up. If you haven’t you should, and take lessons on how to defend yourselves. You, me, all of us, must be prepared for the coming storm, but in the end, we will win.

American’s, Starved For Decency
“Live and let live” was once a cherished but un-codified phrase that kept us from punching each other’s headlights out over minor disagreements on any number of subjects. It has been swept away by the political philosophy of socialism that demands complete control over everything, the rule of laws be damned. At the local level it’s best seen in the rising incidents of road rage.
Democrats calling for “resistance” have shed all pretense of civility to “live and let live.” It’s to be their way or no way. A year and a half out, they still haven’t grasped the truth that they are no longer in charge of the federal government. All that’s left for them is to yap and snip at the heels of the real leader we now have in Donald Trump, and his supporters.
The politeness scenario that once guided our debates, has been swept away by hysterical
Democrats desperate to retain any claim on power. Three successive national elections have left Democrats stunned. Searching for other methods of maintaining relevance and with no more arguments left in their playbook except “Stop Trump”, they have turned to their chapter on anarchy and are actively encouraging attacks on conservatives through intimidating, in your face name calling, screaming spittle frothing epitaphs and character defamation screeds. When democrats wielded power they used the Dept. of Justice and the now corrupted FBI, not to mention the IRS, to eliminate their opponents. For Democrats, civility is gone, lies are commonplace and to ignore all ideas other than their Marxist scribblings, is expected.
That simple phrase, “live and let live,” encompassed principles that, along with an understanding of the ten commandments, guided us as citizens to live together in peace and harmony and accept the differences. We went together to the 4th of July parades and picnics, the evening fireworks, Veterans day events and all the pro-American programs that reflected American’s pride, and we did it without fighting one another. Americans are starved for decency.
The Socialist theories of economic control, that has taken over the whole of the Democrat Party, and has infiltrated GOP ranks, might explain why Republicans have long been accused of not fighting back, but going along to get along with the Socialists to the point of even agreeing that what the Democrat-Socialist party wanted was really good for America.
Our streets are on fire and it’s the Democrats doing. Alarmed American’s quickly organized under the Tea Party banner to figure out a way to do what the Republican weren’t doing, fighting back. But, Tea Party members didn’t run around attacking Democrats, destroying property or stealing campaign signs from supporters yards, or defacing bumper stickers.
When Republicans controlled only the House of Representatives, and the Tea Party was clearly considered a dissident group in danger of actually damaging the “Deep State”, liberal politicians, MSM journalists and “Moderate Republicans,” saw no need to be civil toward the Tea Partiers and the stage was set for where we are today, both parties in disarray, as they should be, and little can be done to remedy it. Nothing heals faster than open wounds, properly treated.
“Demands for civility almost always come from people who lost their own right to the respect they expect. The last resort of someone who has run out of good moral arguments is lies, innuendoes, falsehoods and now, resistance. Democrats have lost the stage on which to act out their identity as politicians and have turned into the anarchists they now are.

Short Takes – The Derangement of Compassionate Fascists

The Derangement of Compassionate Fascists
As a conservative, I could not be more grateful or pleased for their contributions to Trump’s continued Presidency and the assurance of his re-election in 2020, then that provided by the continuing Mueller circus, the daily visual presence of Hillary Clinton and the deranged mutterings of California’s premier female nut job, after Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, that brilliant light of intellectual acumen, faultless sense of timing and thrilling rhetorical skills. Thank you, thank you, thank you all! Did I fail to mention the unravelling exposure of the DoJ and FBI’s biased leadership as bonafide anti-Trump Progressives who actually (not figuratively) engaged in an insiders coup attempt against the Trump administration? That’s a criminal act.
If one thinks they can succeed in staging a coup against a legally elected administration, then the decision must be made to go all in and make a clean kill or face the hangman. Gibbets have been filled with failed coup attempters. In some places, it’s firing squads. Whatever is the punishment, it must be carried out ruthlessly and quickly or no message of its futility is left to stem those deranged few who would still contemplate their place in history.
The entire Democrat-Socialist party has entered the dark forbidding realm of conscious hysteria as evidenced by the uncivilized reactions of the lefts politicians and voters toward conservatives like Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her Red Hen Restaurant experience. Lest we forget, it started last year with the attempted murders by a deranged democrat at the Republican congressional baseball practice shooting at Congressmen. The Left’s reactions to Trumps wielding the powers of the executive by trying to seal the border and stem the flow on Illegals across our borders is driving them bonkers. So is Trumps tariffs, his North Korean exercise in diplomacy and Trumps growing American economy.
“Obsession over a tree ignores the forest.” Obsessing over a few staged photos of weeping little children allegedly being separated from their gate crashing parents, or coyotes, or sex trade traffickers, or whatever, ignores the real problem, that we’re being invaded. To stop the flow does not require more police or soldiers on the border, simply deny invaders the monetary support they need to survive here. Eliminate the welfare we spend supporting them.
The Left seems convinced that the righteousness of their lunatic cause justifies their attacks as their absolute right to correct a gross error made by America’s “deplorable’s,” we who didn’t see the true value of a Hillary Clinton presidency and who simply don’t recognize the dangers inherent in Constitutional representative government over their version of compassionate fascism.
Their ignorance of is revealed when they characterize Conservatives as Nazi’s when they are are describing themselves. Their lack of education on history is apparent when they don’t know or recognize the difference between fascist National Socialism, which is what Democrats want, and Constitutional Representative government, which is what we now have and will continue to have, unless we can’t beat back the continued assault on our better senses.
Why, for example, does Mueller’s Colonoscopy probe still continue when the unfolding Congressional probe into the FBI has undercut its legitimacy? No prosecutor could possibly take Mueller’s tainted fake evidence to a Grand Jury and expect to gain an indictment. No, no. It simply won’t do! End the charade and stop the Mueller fiasco. Lets make America Great Again,

Short Takes – Perspectives in Violence
Opinion February 23, 2018
Perspective, about deadly events, means nothing if you are the victim facing any threat that could kill you. Currently, the objet d’jour of outrage is against guns because they are noisy, frightening and, if semi-automatic, can do a lot of damage quickly. One such, in the hands of a disturbed individual just killed a lot of innocent people as well. But, so can a determined person with a vehicle by smashing into crowds of holiday makers, school children lining up for their bus or pedestrians window shopping on a city street. Jihadists are using this inexpensive technique.
The violence by guns statistics of Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis and Detroit alone, makes the perspective of other means of violent death seem trivial in comparison. Deaths in the four cities mentioned exceed the numbers of soldiers killed in Middle-East conflicts. American troops killed in Afghanistan and Iraq in an eleven year period, 2001 and 2012 was 6,488. Add the number of American women killed in domestic violence by husbands or boyfriends, at 11,766, and it nearly doubles the number of casualties killed in the recent wars.
Here’s where ‘perspective‘ changes. In 2015, 10,265 people died in drunk driving collisions accounting for nearly a third of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. 209 children, aged one to fourteen, were among those statistics as victims of drunk drivers. In 2015, nearly 1.1 million drivers were apprehended for DUI by alcohol or narcotics. A studied survey conducted by the Mothers Against Drunk Drivers group revealed 14,000,000 (yes, 14 million) people drive impaired daily on our streets and highways. Where is the outrage?
On top of that, the death rates caused by illegals lurking in sanctuary cities, is unbelievable. What happens to them? They are sometimes deported only to return a few months later to do it all over again. Another large contributor to the high vehicle death rate is driving while texting. The death rate here is roughly nine killed and a thousand injured every day. Using cell phones accounts for nearly 1.6 million crashes a year (2015 statistics).
Deaths by Domestic violence has occurred since the beginning of time between two partners who have a disagreements. Usually it’s men vs. women, often resulting in death or injury to responding police officers. Add in the Gay partnerships and well, they’re not immune either.
A really big death offender is the medical and pharmacies industry. 100,000 Americans are killed annually by drugs prescribed by doctors (Source: www.CDC.gov). These killings go on year after year with no consequences to drug companies or doctors. Doctors can simply bury their mistakes. Overdose deaths average 13 teenagers an hour yet no one in the Congress has the courage to seal the Mexican-US border from the $50 billion in drugs crossing there annually. At least 64,000 Americans died from illegal drugs in 2016 that crossed our southern border. (Source: www.drugabuse.gov). Did I not mention killings, by knives, hammers or baseball bats? 1,490 people were killed by cutting instruments in 2013. Rifles, including the AR-15, killed only 285 folks while shotguns killed 308. The highest death rates have been in “gun free” zones.
The discussion on “gun violence” is the mantra of the Left. They only want complete and total gun confiscation. To them, no other solution is worthy of discussion. Our society is seriously divided between constitutionalists and the dark forces of complete socialism. A disarmed America is their total goal. Once the 2nd amendment is neutralized and Americans are relieved of the responsibility for their own self-defense, then watch the crushing mantle of Communism spread over the land, enforced by the only armed group left, their police forces.
