Matters Of Concern 4

Yet another massive left wing mistake is trying to convince Americans that sanctuary cities are a good thing because they protect illegals from prosecution for violating our immigration laws. Included in their numbers are a substantial number of violent criminals.  It is hard to convince citizens that is necessary to protect illegal immigrant criminals while at the same time supporting the punishment of American citizen criminals. That is "pretend" compassion because American citizens are more than not the victims of their crimes. A heavy price to pay for "pretend" compassion. Moreover, it defies logic and more than 80% of Americans agree.   http://www.themadpatriots.com/freedom-news/pollster-more-than-80-of-americans-oppose-sanctuary-cities/

The radical leftists who ran the country under Obama's leadership created the problem that this piece addresses.  They allowed reprobates, rapists, along with a wide range of irresponsible people to claim victimhood while in fact being victimizers.  Such was the "vetting" during the Obama years.  This representative sampling alone will make you sick. Quote: "Last week, in a column that does not misstate the facts and the law about immigration, I covered some typical asylum and refugee admissions to our country, including Beatrice Munyenyezi. She was the Rwandan who got into our country by claiming to be a victim of the genocide that killed nearly a million people, even though she had helped orchestrate it."  And,  "Courts are dealing with so many genocidal Rwandans who came to America as “refugees” that just last Friday, a federal appeals court upheld the conviction of another one, Gervais “Ken” Ngombwa, who not only lied about his participation in the genocide, but also about his family relationships."  And,  "Liberals act as if they are striking a blow for feminism by importing desperate women from misogynistic cultures to America. But, even to the extent they’re telling the truth, the women aren’t always victims only. They’re often co-conspirators."  And,  "How did violent, backward, misogynistic cultures become our problem? Did we take a vote and agree to be the world’s charity ward? Democrats who claim to be defenders of the weak, the marginal and vulnerable are happy to toss our safe, functioning country aside — as long as they can wreck America (and get their housework done at the same time!). The left’s central political philosophy is based on resentment toward historical America."     https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/07/03/179167/
This type of behavior has a long history of being supported by left wing socialists.  To the best of my knowledge it has not been condemned by the leadership of the socialist Democrats leading the Democrat National Committee. Indeed, the Democrats are fostering the situation with their rhetoric seeking the abolishment of ICE, promoting open borders and permitting unconstrained illegal immigration.   https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/07/mayhem-in-philly-police-arrest-29-far-left-protesters-after-violence-erupts-in-front-of-ice-building-video/?    Such positions and behaviors portends unmitigated disaster.

This is a woefully misguided bit of progressive socialist Democrats thinking. Quote: "The Constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of the people.”—Justice William O. Douglas"  And,  "For those still deluded enough to believe they’re living the American dream—where the government represents the people, where the people are equal in the eyes of the law, where the courts are arbiters of justice, where the police are keepers of the peace, and where the law is applied equally as a means of protecting the rights of the people—it’s time to wake up. We no longer have a representative government, a rule of law, or justice. Liberty has fallen to legalism. Freedom has fallen to fascism. Justice has become jaded, jaundiced and just plain unjust. And for too many, the American dream of freedom and opportunity has turned into a living nightmare."    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/07/03/the-constitution-is-not-neutral-courts-of-justice-should-not-act-like-courts-of-order/  The political progressive left has long worked to reverse the point of the quote by Justice Douglas.  They, instead, want the Constitution to serve as "their" weapon of governmental control over the people. 

This piece discusses the dire consequences resulting from the left wing's experiment with Common Core which introduced many serious flaws into our children's education.  Quote: "Seriously flawed mathematics and science standards, put into practice by mathematically- and scientifically-illiterate state boards of education, are frustrating, limiting, and damaging to the children who experience distress despite their efforts.  Creative classic literature has been replaced by depressing, sexualized dystopian novels that oppress the spirit and exceed the children’s maturity level. Maria Calamia, licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, reported 200 to 300 percent more children experiencing serious stress and trauma due to the new curricula, citing numerous incidents of the better students’ crying, bedwetting, self-mutilating, and experiencing nightmares at their new mediocrity.   Non-fiction, informational texts and historical documents of a leftist agenda were also introduced, guaranteed to not only indoctrinate, but also to increase boredom and lessen interest and reading ability, with one report showing that 700,000 graduates per year cannot read their own diplomas.  In 2016, more than 40 percent of four-year-college students (two million) did not earn their degree and dropped out; and only 26 percent of two-year students will earn their degree."  And, "Academia’s adoption of Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States provides a leftist focus on the exploitation of the majority by the “elite white population.” White privilege has become the accusation du jour, creating a dangerous intolerance for whites, America’s foundational documents and principles.  Several private schools nationwide have begun segregating their white students, encoding them to believe they have unfairly benefitted from their whiteness at the expense of other races; students of color are receiving praise and rewards, not for excellence, but for their skin.  Harvard is now being sued by Students for Fair Admissions for its nonacceptance of qualified Asians and white males, the same kind of discrimination and stereotyping used to disqualify Jewish applicants in the 1920s and 1930s.  Additionally, white teachers are being challenged about their own cultural competence."   https://eaglerising.com/60155/designated-for-destruction/    Things must change from this disaster the progressive left imposed on a whole generation innocent children. 

If there is nothing to hide one has to wonder why they act as if there is something to hide.  Their excuse that they need more resources to do the work is not credible given most every piece of correspondence is produced electronically. Search engines can do the job, and fast.   https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/federal-court-orders-doj-to-begin-searching-and-producing-fusion-gps-records-in-response-to-judicial-watch-lawsuit/?

This is a story about idiotic government interference in the economy for the benefit of a few and harm to many.  Quote: "The ethanol lobby and corn farmers are teaming up to keep the government mandated gravy train flowing into their bank accounts. After a deal was reached between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), several Senators, and oil refiners regarding the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), the deal suddenly collapsed when it got to the White House. The deal made sense for everyone involved, so the question must be asked, what happened and why? The RFS is a government rule, established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The rule mandates renewable fuels, mostly corn ethanol, be blended with gasoline. Of course, this became an instant cash cow for corn farmers and ethanol refiners. The government had just mandated anyone that drives a vehicle must use their product."      http://dailytorch.com/2018/07/who-is-behind-the-scheme-to-keep-the-unsustainable-rfs-in-place/
