     Personal  Issues...16 June 2024

     I have had some medical issues and other problems that took
priority over doing my post this week.

     I will make every effort to catch up before next week but
America needs us all to do our part to take back this once great
nation and put it in the hands of qualified leaders who love the
US and are patriots with Christian morals and ethics that have
been missing for over 3 and 1/2 years.
     They have worked so hard to destroy the economy and the
character of what the title of an American really is.

     Pray, and live for our freedoms and Constitution regardless
of how many we can put away.

	**The Zone of Comfort
	By: Bill O'Reilly / April 21, 2024
     Last week in Pennsylvania, President Biden told a crowd that
his uncle was eaten by "cannibals" in New Guinea during World 
War II.
     Immediately, cannibals all over the world began filing defa-
mation suits. In fact, the closest Joe has ever come to that world
is listening to the song "Land of a Thousand Dances" by Cannibal
and the Headhunters. Google it.
      Subsequently, Biden's statement was corrected as Joe's uncle
was shot down over the Pacific, never to be seen again. But,
really, does it even matter what the President puts forth? Often,
he clearly doesn't know what he's saying. He has to have a cheat
sheet to wish you a nice day.
      Same thing with Donald Trump. He's liable to say anything at
any time. When he's bored - the words fly. And he's not checking
Wikipedia for accuracy. But does it matter?
      No, it does not.
      Those who support Biden have to know he's way out there. But
they're okay with it. His doddering does not penetrate their 
comfort zones. 
      Same thing with the Don. MAGA folks are comfortable with him.
Even if he BECAME a cannibal, many would stay with him.
      Dietary choices are nobody's business.

      LISTEN: O'REILLY AND HANNITY ON JOE BIDEN'S HELPLESSNESS
      When I was young and foolish, I used to try to persuade folks
I felt were misguided. It rarely worked. The truth is that most
people build protective barriers around themselves and rarely stray
from the comfort they provide. 
      It's all about the tribe. If you are surrounded by conser-
vatives, you tend to go that way. Liberals do the same thing, don't
they Hollywood? Most human beings crave acceptance.
      Not me. My zone of comfort is an honest attempt to solve
problems. I gravitate towards people who do that. This is not all
that common.
      My mother's comfort zone was the Catholic Church. She loved
the Rosary Society and religious ceremony.
      My father never really found a comfort zone. Because he was
raised during the Depression, doom was his friend. He got to the
airport three hours ahead of time in case "something happens."
Anxiety? You have no idea.
      But back to Biden and Trump. Joe's comfort zone is Jill.
Total dependence. Not being facetious. What Jill says goes.
      Donald isn't dependent on anyone. Does and says what he wants.
That's his zone. Also, he feels comfortable lashing out so here
comes the verbal javelin.
      I well understand both Joe and Don are not capable of moder-
ating their behavior. Most people aren't. My parents never changed.
They stayed in their zones to the end.
      Over the next seven months, the ridiculous media will spend
an enormous amount of time mocking and attacking what both presi-
dential candidates say. But that's largely useless. 
      We have all seen what each has done in office. And that should
be what decides it in November. Actions, not words.**

     Trump held inflation below 7.7% total year over year.
     Joe caused the total of 3 years 3 months has been 20.3% Year
over year. SO FAR!
     In case you don't see it, that is way outside anyone's Zone of
comfort.
     Imagine the disaster that 4 more years of Biden added to his
over 10M illegals that have cost over a half trillion dollars.
     Now answer the same question Reagan asked in 1981. Do you
seriously think you are better off now than you were 4-5 years ago?
     We ALL should pray for a change, even if you don't like the
best person for the job.

  Conservatively,

	**Appeals Court Rules to Allow Boys in Girls Sports

	W. Virginia Appeals Court Makes Sick Decision
     Sarah Parshall Perry / April 18, 2024
     A federal appeals court rules in favor of a boy on a girls
track team, overturning a lower court's decision and striking down
West Virginia's law keeping scholastic sports separated by bio-
logical sex.
     What does it take for a federal court to reach the outcome it
wants—instead of the outcome that the law demands? Apparently, just
some creative judicial gymnastics.
     That’s what happened Tuesday with a panel of judges on the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit when it overturned a lower
court decision and struck down West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports
Act, a law that keeps scholastic sports in the state separated by
biological sex.
     The appeals court’s rationale?
     Biological girls and transgender “girls” (biological males)
are exactly the same.  
     In BPJ v. West Virginia Board of Education, Judge Toby Heytens,
a Biden appointee, was joined by Judge Pamela Harris, an Obama ap-
pointee, in determining that the state school board had violated
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. That’s the federal
civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in all federally
funded education programs.
     The appeals court also held that the West Virginia law likely
violated the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, which guaran-
tees all individuals equal treatment under the laws of the United
States.  
     Significant to the litigation history is the fact that BPJ—a
boy in middle school—beat female competitors in over 100 track
events more than 280 times while he was on puberty blockers, busting
the myth that boys on hormones have no athletic advantage over bio-
logical females.
     The case also prompted an op-ed by a girl athlete at a West
Virginia middle school, who wrote that “if boys get to play on
girls’ teams, the team that I love so much would go away. We would
end up with two boys’ teams: one of boys who call themselves boys,
and one of boys who identify as girls but dominate and control the
girls’ team.”
     Classifications based on sex require intermediate scrutiny
review under the Constitution’s equal protection clause. Specific-
ally, the law at issue must serve an important government interest
and be substantially related to achieving that purpose.
     Writing for the court, Heytens emphastated that the effect of
West Virginia’s law was to “exclude transgender girls from the
definition of ‘female’ and thus to exclude them from participation
on girls sports teams.”
     “That is a facial classification based on gender identity,”
the judge wrote. “And, under this court’s binding precedent, such
classifications trigger intermediate scrutiny.”
     But Heytens simply ignored the fact that the Supreme Court
never has held transgender individuals to be a “suspect” or “quasi
-suspect” class for whom the Constitution demands heightened,
intermediate scrutiny review.
     Nor has the Supreme Court ever held that transgender “girls”
are the same as biological girls. Nor has it ever held that sex is
the same as gender identity.
     Not even in Bostock v. Clayton County did the Supreme Court
make such a determination. In fact, Justice Neil Gorsuch began his
opinion in that case by saying that “we proceed on the assumption
that ‘sex’ signified what the employers suggest, referring only to
biological distinctions between male and female.”
     None of this mattered to the 4th Circuit, though.
     Heytens wrote that West Virginia had failed to demonstrate
that its goals of “participant safety and competitive fairness”
were substantially related to their decision to exclude BPJ—again,
a biological boy on puberty-blocking hormones—from girls’
athletics.
     This was especially so, he wrote, because BPJ “presented evi-
dence that transgender girls with her background and characteristics
possess no inherent, biologically-based competitive advantages over
cisgender girls when participating in sports.”
     I think more than 100 middle school girls in West Virginia
would beg to differ.
     As for BPJ’s secondary challenge to the Save Women’s Sports
Act, the appeals court found that the state law violated Title IX
by treating BPJ worse than similarly situated people, depriving
“her” of any meaningful athletic opportunities on the basis of
“sex.”
     Heytens determined that the “stigma of being unable to parti-
cipate on a team with one’s friends and peers” (citing the court’s
own opinion in Grimm v. Gloucester County) was harm sufficient
enough to prove a violation of Title IX.
     The court vacated the lower court’s decision in part, reversed
it in part, and remanded the case with instructions both to enter
summary judgment for BPJ on the Title IX claims and to develop an
additional factual record regarding BPJ’s argument that the school’s
actions violated the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.
     In a scathing dissent, Judge G. Steven Agee (a George W. Bush
appointee) wrote that the majority “inappropriately expands the
scope of the Equal Protection Clause and upends the essence of
Title IX.”
     Noting that BPJ “dominated” girls track meets, Agee stressed
that the majority erroneously concluded that biological boys are
similarly situated to biological girls, ignoring the fact that
biology is relevant in sports.
     He wrote that it was irrelevant that BPJ identified as a girl
because “gender identity, simply put, has nothing to do with
sports.” BPJ was being treated the same as all the other biological
male athletes in West Virginia schools and so there had been no
discrimination.
     In fact, PBJ’s participation in girls track did exactly what
West Virginia was trying to prevent: taking opportunities away from
biological girls.
     In addressing the majority’s Title IX determination, Agee noted
that the court effectively had reversed the “monumental work Title
IX has done to promote girls’ sports from its inception.” He pointed
out that Title IX regulations expressly permit schools to separate
sports teams by biological sex.
     What’s more, to reach its desired outcome, the majority had to
contort its reasoning to conclude that “sex” unambiguously meant
“gender identity.” It defies logic, Agee wrote, to say that when
Title IX was enacted in 1972, everyone implicitly understood that
sex also meant gender identity.
     “If Congress so intended,” Agee wrote, “it should have expli-
citly said so. It did not.”  
     “Women and young girls deserve to compete on a level playing
field,” Rachel Rouleau, a senior counsel with Alliance Defending
Freedom who was one of the attorneys representing the West Virginia
Board of Education, said in response to the decision.
     “The court’s decision undermines equal opportunities and con-
tradicts both biological reality and common sense,” Rouleau said.
“Title IX was designed to provide women with fair competition, and
West Virginia’s women’s sports law does the same.”
     Alliance Defending Freedom is mulling an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
     Here’s hoping that West Virginia—and the girls displaced by
BPJ—are vindicated eventually. And that a bad decision, relying on
a foundation of bad legal interpretation, doesn’t stand for long.*

     Pray for God's protection.

     **Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Alito Issue 
       Warnings About State of America

     ‘Support for freedom of speech is declining dangerously,’
Justice Alito said, while Justice Thomas decried ‘nastiness
and the lies’ in the Beltway.
By Tom Ozimek / 5/11/2024

     In separate remarks at two different events on Friday, Supreme
Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito issued warnings
about the state of affairs in America today, including support for
freedom of speech “declining dangerously” and the nation’s capital
becoming a “hideous” place where cancel culture runs rampant.
     Justice Thomas spoke at a conference of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Point Clear, Alabama, while
Justice Alito delivered a commencement address at the Franciscan
University of Steubenville, a Catholic college in Ohio, with both
of the conservative-minded judges painting a dark picture—while
encouraging action and offering hope.
     At the Alabama event, Justice Thomas was asked to comment by
the moderator—U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle—about
what it’s like to work “in a world that seems meanspirited.”
     “I think there’s challenges to that,” Justice Thomas said.
“We’re in a world and we—certainly my wife and I the last two or
three years it’s been—just the nastiness and the lies, it’s just
incredible.”
     Justice Thomas has faced heavy fire from Democrats who accuse
him of skirting disclosure rules, of corruption in general, and of
being too cozy with wealthy Republicans. They have not been able
to point to any specific court cases in which the justice has mis-
behaved. Some activists have even pushed for Justice Thomas’s
impeachment.
     By contrast, over 100 former Supreme Court clerks signed an
open letter last year defending Justice Thomas’s integrity, calling
him a man of “unwavering principle” whose independence is “unshak-
able.” They called various critical stories that have targeted him
as “malicious” and “perpetuating the ugly assumption that the
Justice cannot think for himself.”
“They are part of a larger attack on the Court and its legitimacy
as an institution,” the letter also stated. “The picture they paint
of the Court and the man for whom we worked bears no resemblance
to reality.”
     Public opinion polls suggest public trust in the Supreme Court
recently fell to new lows.
     Addressing the criticism, Justice Thomas said at the Alabama
conference that Washington had become a “hideous” place where
“people pride themselves in being awful,” while characterizing
America beyond the Beltway as a place where regular people “don’t
pride themselves in doing harmful things.”
     Texas Targets NGOs Accused of Exacerbating the Border Crisis
     Justice Thomas also expressed concern that court writings have
become inaccessible to the average person, engendering a sense of
alienation.
     “The regular people I think are being disenfranchised some-
times by the way that we talk about cases,” Justice Thomas said,
while expressing hope that this could change.

     ‘It’s Rough Out There’
     Justice Alito warned graduates at the Catholic college in Ohio
that freedom of speech and religion were both being assailed in
today’s America, while expressing hope that young people would take
up the mantle and fight for positive change.
     In his address, Justice Alito made a reference to pop culture,
namely to a graduation speech delivered by the character Thornton
Melon (played by Rodney Dangerfield) in the movie “Back to School.”
     He jokingly cited Mr. Melon’s advice to graduates, which was
not to go out into the world after graduating because “it’s rough
out there” and instead move back in with their parents, let them
pay all the bills, and “worry about it.”
     “As Mr. Melon said, it is rough out there,” Justice Alito
said. “It’s probably rougher out there now than it has been for
quite some time. But that is precisely why your contributions will
be so important.”
     Justice Alito said that, outside the walls of the campus,
“troubled waters are slamming against some of our most fundamental
principles,” referring to freedom of speech.
     “Support for freedom of speech is declining dangerously,” he
continued, noting that this problem is especially acute on college
campuses, which he said are places where the exchange of ideas
should be most protected.
     “Very few colleges live up to that ideal. This place is one
of them … but things are not that way out there in the broader
world,” Justice Alito said.
     He also raised the issue of freedom of religion being “im-
periled,” noting that graduates may find themselves in jobs or
social settings where they will be pressured to renounce their
beliefs or adopt ones they find morally objectionable.

     “It will be up to you to stand firm,” he said.
     Notably, Justice Alito authored the 2022 ruling that over-
turned Roe v. Wade and handed the matter of deciding on abortion
rights to states.**

     At least we have 5 or 6 reputable and unbiased Justices.
God will judge us all and I will pray for most of the left.

  John

         **How to get rid of the Raccoons

     Passing along a pretty good read:.......
     Like many citizens, I've wondered and tried hard to understand
why Trump has such a remarkable following. (It's obvious why he
probably should not!) Then a friend sent me this raccoon story. It
makes no difference about your political leanings; this is just a
good explanation of WHY... (or it's as good as any I can come up
with): If you really want to know how the majority of people feel?
This applies to both Democrats and Republicans; read below, it says
it all.
     You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your
basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean
raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immedi-
ately. You call the city, 4 different exterminators, but nobody can
handle the job. But there is this one guy, and he guarantees you to
get rid of them, so you hire him. You don't care if the guy smells,
you don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's an alco-
holic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't
care if he voted for Obama, you don't care if he has a plumber's
butt crack, you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your
problem fixed! He's the guy. He's the best. Period!
     Here's why we want Trump, yes, he's a bit of an ass, yes, he's
an egomaniac, but we don't care. The country is a mess because
politicians suck, the Republicans and Democrats can be two-faced &
gutless, and illegals are everywhere. We want it all fixed! We
don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he insults
people, we don't care that he once was friendly with Hillary, we
don't care that he has changed positions, we don't care that he's
been married 3 times, we don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly
and Rosie O'Donnell, we don't care that he doesn't know the name of
some Muslin terrorist, and we don’t care if he sends mean tweets.
     This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of
us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of
victims where every Tom, Ricardo, and Hasid is a special group with
special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country
we were born and raised in; "AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED" and Trump
is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.
     We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Re-
publican Party, and sick of illegals. We just want this thing
fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn't have lobbyist money
holding him, he doesn't have political correctness restraining him,
all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator,
he has built a lot of things, and he's also not a politician, he's
not a cowardly politician. And he says he'll fix it.
     And, we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be
proven wrong or looked at and called a liar. Also, we don't care if
the guy has bad hair. We just want those raccoons gone, out of our
house, NOW. 
     You are welcome to pass this on. I feel this is why thousands
of people who haven't voted in 25 years are getting involved.  The
raccoons have got to go.**

     This was sent to me from a conservative friend.
     There are several analogies like this that explain the simple
common sense logic we as a nation face.
     If you care about this nation, your family and their future,
tell me why you fall for the lies and suffer through the inflation
that Biden and his unelected puppeteers have created while they
brainwashed you to accept their lies as truth, even with the proof
right before your eyes?
     Find yourself a few of the many unbiased sites where you will
see how the liberals and RINOs have spent so much effort trying to 
convince you that you just need to trust them without even a shred
of verifiable evidence.
     Why have they convinced you to hate Trump and even your family
that don't believe the lies you have been fed?
     Most won't answer the simplest question that has been asked
for over 3 years? 
     "Are you truly better off today than you were 4 years ago?"

     Use your head and be honest with yourself and God.

  Conservatively,

 	 **The Trump Dilemma
     By: Bill O'Reilly / February 25, 2024

     It is exceedingly difficult to get an accurate, fair assessment
of Donald Trump. The liberal media despises him to a cartoonish
degree, and some on the right have elevated him to cult leader
status.
     So, Americans and folks living abroad are being misled about a
man who could be leading the United States again by this time next
year. If that happens, Mr. Trump would join the hefty Grover Cleve-
land in the non-consecutive presidential terms category.
     I know former President Trump as well as any journalist, with
more than 30 years of interaction, dozens of interviews, sporting
events, dinners, and telephone chats.
     So here is the truth about the man.
     He's disciplined in strategy when engaged. Most everything
comes down to "the art of the deal." Although some foreign leaders
despise him, there was far more order in the world on his watch
than there is today under the apathetic, ideological Joe Biden.
 
     MUST WATCH: TALKING POINTS MEMO: JOE BIDEN FACES REALITY ON
SOUTHERN BORDER

     Trump was able to largely stop the migrant invasion by "con-
vincing" Mexican President Obrador to place troops on the Guatemalan
border as well as the USA barrier. Once Biden took office, those
Mexican troops stood down because that country makes money from
unchecked border intrusions with which Biden has no problem.
     The Trump administration had a first-rate national security
team headed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security
Advisor Robert O'Brien. The ISIS terror group, allowed to gain
ferocity under President Obama, was virtually destroyed in the
Middle East by U.S. Special Forces. Trump was feared in the ter-
rorist precincts, including Iran and Afghanistan. Biden is not. 
     Putin was largely contained by the Trump administration. Bad
Vlad's annexation of Crimea happened under Obama; the invasion of
Ukraine is on Biden's resume. 
     Economically, Larry Kudlow and Steve Mnuchin basically imposed
an anti-inflation, steady growth policy that allowed "real wages"
for American workers to rise around 7 percent.
     Covid stopped the economy cold, of course, but the pre-pandemic
numbers are impressive.
     Under President Biden, Americans are suffering from higher
prices. Real wages are actually down.
     So, on policy, the Trump administration was largely successful.
That is if you are a fair assessor.
     A mystery of the universe is why Donald Trump does not make
his record the centerpiece of his current campaign. Once again,
emotion clouds the situation.
     The former President wanted to believe, and still does to this
day, that the election of 2020 was a fraud. Trump then made that
unproven opinion the centerpiece of his legacy.   
     To assist him in his election challenge, he rallied his sup-
porters, some of whom attempted vigilante actions on January 6,2021.
Donald Trump's condemnation of that anti-American display never
surfaced. A mistake of historical proportions.
     That has overwhelmed his political profile and allowed his
enemies to use the justice system, which is increasingly corrupt,
to badly damage him.
     Encouraged by the Biden White House, a variety of unprece-
dented legal cases and outcomes have badly injured Trump. There's
a multi-million-dollar judgment to a woman in New York who cannot
even remember the year Donald Trump allegedly attacked her. There's
a half-billion-dollar judgment ordered by a leftist New York City
judge in a contrived real estate beef that has no victims. There's
a federal case against Trump for secreting top-secret documents
while President Biden walks on the same charge, on and on and on. 
     All of this has infuriated Mr. Trump, who cannot stop lashing
out against the machine arrayed against him. That lash includes
many crude personal attacks, some of which damage the former
President.
     But he and his supporters don't see it that way. Trump, the
"avenger," is the avatar.
     The result is political chaos in America. The sitting Presi-
dent is hurting the nation with unfathomable policies like the open
border and massive, irresponsible spending designed to buy votes.
     Joe Biden will go down in history alongside Jimmy Carter.
     Therefore, Donald Trump, successful in running the country
for four years, should easily defeat the hapless Joe Biden, who
can barely function at this point.
     But that is not the case. Polls show a close race.  
     It shouldn't be. But emotions are dictating on both sides.
     Dangerous times.**

     I seldom disagree with O'Reilly but he came up short on a few
facts.
     Trump is a generous, pragmatic, realist, who has about 75M
people who would also like the record to be corrected as to the 
facts behind the 2020 Election and the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
     These are the facts that most patriotic, true, Americans who
just want the corrupt Left, media, and the DOJ, pay for the last
four years of our lives that Biden has squandered.
     As a Christian, I still believe God will judge one and all
in His due time.

  Conservatively,
  John

	Granny Holloway Takes a Break

	**Subject: Granny Holloway Takes a Leave of Absence
     When I was a HS sophomore – decades ago! – my World History
teacher was Mrs. Holloway, but we all called her Granny Holloway.
She was a slight woman, scarcely 5 feet tall, seemingly fragile,
but full of vim and vinegar….you know the type. She could speak for
hours about the Fall of the Roman Empire, the Inquisition, the
Industrial Revolution, and the World Wars. She never sat while she
lectured, never stood at a lectern, but moved around the room
making eye contact with all of her students. She was demanding too
and I can’t remember how many papers were sent back to me because
she would note “you can do better than this, Mr Finerty.”
     One day during class, an office aid interrupted her lecture to
hand her a note. She read it silently, apologized, and said she
needed to leave the room. We knew it had to be important because
Granny Holloway stopped lectures for no one.
     We sat in the room talking to one another when the door opened,
and in walked Mrs. Abels, another teacher in our HS. She explained
to us that Granny had been faced with an emergency, a serious one,
and it was questionable if she would even be returning to finish out
the semester. We were stunned. Would we get a chance to tell her
goodbye? Would we get updates, so we would know she was ok? Mrs.
Abels assured us that we need not worry, that Granny was safe but
needed time away, and that the best thing we could do for her, and
the best way we could show our devotion to her, was to be coopera-
tive with her replacement. Mrs. Abels confirmed that she had been
asked and had agreed to step in as Granny’s replacement.
     Cheer up, she told us, this could be a good thing. Other teach-
ers still believed in endless homework and projects with deadlines
and hard work. She would not bring that into our class. She believed
in clean slates. If there were grades that we did not like, she
could give us a chance to bring them up. She asked us what sugges-
tions we had to make the semester a better learning experience. Some
one mentioned that lectures were boring and we wanted more films.
Done, she said. Someone else mentioned that a free day now and then
would help us if we needed to catch up on work in other classes. She
didn’t see a problem with that. She asked us how we felt about an
end-of-semester party. Um, yeah, sounded very good to us. And on and
on. Mrs. Abels listened intently and agreed to all of our sugges-
tions, continually emphasizing that her concern was that we have a
good learning experience and enjoy the semester. She also reminded
us that we were lucky to not be sent out to other classes where we
would be working to catch up, and that of course this was all for
Granny.
     Near the end of the period, shortly before the bell rang, the
door opened and Granny sauntered in with her usual Granny Holloway
attitude. “How did they do?,” she asked. “Marvelous,” said Mrs.
Abels. “They were completely in my hands.”
     Granny then faced us and said “And that, my students, is how
a dictator takes over a nation. Not with guns or tanks or laws or
mandates. They do it using false promises and gifts”
     I can’t remember a lesson all through 12 years of public
school that made such an impression on me, and has stayed with me.
     We are among wolves in sheep clothing, many are being
deceived.
     Stay awake! And buckle up.
     Put on the FULL armor of God, we are going to need it in the
days to come.**

     A friend of mine sent me this and I felt compelled to share
it with you all.
     It brought to mind Saul Alinsky's book, "Rules for Radicals"
and the eight steps of the Cloward-Piven Strategy that I have put
in my blog for at least 3 years in an effort to inform people of
how the media has been corrupted along with the Democrats, the 
DOJ and the unelected people who are actually running OUR once
great nation where God, Honor, Country, and Integrity were the
most important things we had powered by morals and love of our
fellow Americans.
     Now look at what they have done. It is disgraceful, pathetic,
and sad that so many can be brainwashed without even knowing it
happening.
     Any patriot should want to know the truth and facts and not
let the corrupt think for us.
     God is our judge, deliverance, and savior. It is time for
all Americans to get our priorities in order.
     I pray for you, one and all.

  Conservatively,

	**Trump And Johnson Unveil Groundbreaking Election Integrity
     Legislation That Will Require Proof Of Citizenship To Vote
     APRIL 27, 2024 / ERICA CARLIN

     Former President Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Mike
Johnson (R-LA) held a joint press conference in Palm Beach, Florida
to advocate for an election integrity bill.
     At Mar-a-Lago on Friday, Trump urged President Joe Biden to
“immediately close the border,” citing an increase in “migrant
crime.” He then shifted focus to discussing “election interference”
and the importance of ensuring “election integrity.”
     “We probably have fifteen million people, and they come from
places you don’t want to know about and they’re going to be big
problems, and it’s getting worse,” Trump said. “It’s migrant crime.
It’s a new category of crime, migrant crime. And, I’m just demand-
ing, I just demand, as a citizen I demand, the border has to be
closed. Our country cannot take it, no country could take it. It’s
not sustainable by any country.”
     After being introduced by Trump, Johnson explained when the
House of Representatives is not in session, the Speaker of the House
is “required to go around, fly around the country and be with all of
our candidates and incumbents,” adding that he has been to 23 states
within the past couple of weeks.
     “Everywhere we go, one of the first questions people ask about
is this issue of election integrity,” Johnson said. “The border’s
the number one issue in America. There’s never been a political
issue that scored so high in the polls as a matter of concern. And,
it doesn’t matter where anyone lives, because as we say now, every
state is a border state. And election integrity is tied to border,
the lack of border security.”
     Johnson persistently criticized Biden for causing a “catas-
trophe” at the border, highlighting the 64 executive actions taken
under Secretary Mayorkas since Biden took office that allowed the
border to remain open.
     In February 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection encoun-
tered nine million border crossings at the U.S.-Mexico southern
border, with over 1.8 million individuals managing to evade capture.
     Additionally, data from the Census Bureau in 2023 revealed
nearly 17 million illegal immigrants residing in the United States.
Johnson also emphasized that aside from various issues arising from
the “open border catastrophe,” there is a significant threat to
election integrity.
     “You need to understand something really important about fede-
ral law. Since 1993, the National Voter Registration Act, we call
it the motor voter law, allows people to sign up to vote when they
get a drivers license,” Johnson explained. “If an individual only
does search, or simply states that they are a citizen, they don’t
have to prove it. They can register that person to vote in a fede-
ral election, and you see states are currently prohibited, believe
it or not, the states are prohibited from asking someone to prove
that they are a citizen.”
     Johnson added that they believe this is a “serious problem.”
     “What we’re going to do is, the House Republicans are intro-
ducing a bill that will require proof of citizenship to vote,”
Johnson added. “It seems like common sense, I’m sure all of us
would agree. We only want U.S. citizens to vote in U.S. elections.
But, there are some Democrats who don’t want to do that. We believe
that one of their designs, one of the reasons for this open border,
which everybody asks all around the country, ‘Why would they do
this? Why would they allow all of this chaos? Why the violence?’
Because they want to turn these people into voters.”
     Johnson added that he and Trump would “do everything” within
their power to “ensure that we do have free and fair elections in
this country.”
     “If we don’t have that in a Constitutional Republic, we have
nothing. It’s the basis of who we are as a nation,” Johnson added.
“And, we owe that to the American people. So, what we’re going to
do is introduce legislation to require that every single person who
registers to vote in a federal election must prove that they are
an American citizen first.”
     Johnson stated that apart from incorporating “safeguards” into
the bill, it would also mandate states to eliminate non-citizens
from their current voter rolls.

DODGES MAYORKAS IMPEACHMENT**

     I can't see where any of this is anything other than common
sense and honest logic, traits that the Left seem to lack.
     We must pray that God does, in fact save or land because we
have never been so close to total destruction.

    *Hispanic Democrat Lawmakers Slam Biden

 (TheProudRepublic.com) – Showcasing that Democrats are
increasingly unhappy with the Biden administration’s policies,
Joe Biden’s allies are demanding he abandon the idea of taking
executive action to strengthen asylum rules for migrants.
     The House’s Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chairwoman
Nanette Barragan criticized the White House for not consulting
immigration policy with her group, which she sees as an essential
part of the Democratic party.
     Barragan said, “CHC opposes unilateral attempts by the White
House to change our asylum system and put human lives at risk.
Enforcement-only policies do not work. And using immigrant com-
munities as a political pawn is wrong.”
     The Biden administration reports that it is exploring ways
to tighten asylum standards which aim to block illegal migrants
with questionable claims from exploiting the “catch and release”
system at the border.
     Additionally, the White House is considering reviewing de-
portation priorities to speed up decisions and remove incoming
aliens.
     The goal is to alter incentives that prompt individuals to
cross the border and gain prolonged residence in the U.S. before
facing immigration judges and potential deportation.
     President of Global Refuge Krish O’Mara Vignarajah criticized
these ideas as “deeply misguided” and said that “such restrictions
would flout longstanding humanitarian law, and in so doing, cause
great harm to persecuted individuals and families desperate to
exercise their legal right to seek protection.”
     Biden’s team is extremely desperate to have some action on
the border, which has become a political liability amid unpre-
cedented chaos. Administration officials were engaged in negotia-
tions that produced a bipartisan deal earlier this month to expand
presidential powers to control the border.
     Although the bill was defeated in a filibuster led by Repub-
licans who saw the bill as too weak, they were joined by a handful
of Democrats who viewed the measure as too rigid toward immigrants
who are in the country illegally.
      In turn the White House blamed Republicans for the bill’s
failure and sent mixed signals on whether Biden would resort to
executive action. If Biden uses executive powers, it would mean a
departure from previous claims that Biden’s options were limited.*

     The U.S. had an estimated number of people allowed to apply
for asylum until Biden raised that number from 15K under Trump to
125K in 2022 by Biden. Biden, however, has allowed over 6.2M to
enter the country after he decided to open the border to anyone
who came to the border, with or without, asylum, a valid reason to
seek asylum.
     They drive, fly, walk, ride trains, or use any means to get
to our border because they know that they will be allowed to cross
and be provided with housing, spending money, food, welfare, free
airfare to a city of their choice. 
     They use many means of transportation free and are not being
allowed to be questioned.
     They are arriving from 168 different countries. Other nations
are sending their prisoners, mental cases, poor, and criminals so
they are not burdened with the costs.
     The majority are young men who are reeking havoc in our blue
cities and acting like 3rd world thugs against the American tax-
payers.
     Many are NOT Hispanic, nor are they here to destroy what is
left of Biden's disaster, but to seek the American Dream and for
that there is a legal process, but the unelected crooks working
for Biden do NOT love this country, God, or have morals or ethics
that would make them useful citizens.
     The people elected to do the will of the people don't seem
care. That includes nearly everyone in the three branches of the
government.
     We have hundreds of Godless, greedy, hate-filled, and sinful
people with NO concern for the American people in D.C..
     The Hispanic people have every right to attack Biden because
many came here with their families that have survived the exact
environment being forced upon us.
     I must say that NO one could destroy a nation as strong as
the United States this badly and as quickly without working very
hard at it.
     It is so sad and pathetic that whatever God has planned for
them will be near what they deserve.
     We have an awesome and powerful God who will judge each and
every one of us and them.

  John

	**Every Democrat Senator Just Betrayed America
     – They All Dared to Vote Against This Commonsense Bill
        By Mick Farthing | March 26, 2024

     With Democrats in control of the Senate, you can be sure that
very little is getting done. Since Biden entered office, Democrats
have tried to push through radical bills that would have altered
our country in unthinkable ways.
     From federalizing elections to packing the Supreme Court, it
seems Senate Democrats are devoted to pushing ideas few Americans
would support.
     A Republican senator put forward a measure that many Americans
would support. It strikes against the Biden administration’s worst
scheme. It could keep Americans safe and save taxpayers millions.
But every Democrat in the Senate voted against it.
     From Daily Wire:
     Every single Democrat in the Senate voted against an amendment
from Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) that would have prevented federal
funds from being used by the Biden administration to fly illegal
immigrants into the interior of the United States…
     “Make no mistake here, President Biden has been secretly flying
hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into blue city airports”
     Sen. Hagerty put forward an amendment that would have barred
tax dollars from being used to fly illegal aliens across America.
When migrants cross over the border illegally, they are “processed”
by DHS. They are given access to an app that allows them to gain
federal benefits.
     One of those benefits includes flights out of border states to
wherever they want in America. Of course, these aliens are not pay-
ing for those flights themselves. You are paying for those flights.
     Yet every Democrat in the Senate voted against stopping this
process. That should surprise nobody. Democrats do not appear inter-
ested in ending Biden’s open border crisis. He is responsible for
nearly 8 million aliens entering the country.
     Biden and Democrats seem intent on exploiting these migrants
for cheap labor and votes. They are spending resources meant to help
Americans to house, feed, cloth, and train migrants. Democrats are
even offering tens of thousands of government jobs to non-citizens.
     Key Takeaways:
     Every Democrat in the Senate voted against a bill to stop tax
dollars from paying for illegal alien flights.
     Biden is paying to fly illegal aliens to cities across America.
     This comes as the Biden administration welcomes millions of 
illegals into the country.

     The Democrats in the Senate should all be indicted for their
crimes and their ignoring the laws and their Oaths of Office.
     Not one has bothered to ask their constituents what they want
from their elected officials.
     On top of all this, the migrants are given welfare credit
cards worth thousands of dollars.
     They are housed, fed, transportation, medical care and can use
those cards to basically purchase anything they want.
     They can collect more than most people earn and guess who gets
to pay for it all.
     It's the taxpayer being lied to by Biden and his corrupt band
of con artists, criminals, and every kind of anti-American, hateful,
unethical, amoral, Godless unelected heathens that he allows to
run our once great nation.
     The last thing any of them including Biden can be called is an
American patriot or (without judging) a Christian.
     I pray God will forgive us all and protect our nation from
their embarrassment and rampant evil.

  Conservatively,
  John
