Dear America,
somebody needs to start writing things down, in an easy to read and understand format, all the things considered bipartisan, you know, like, common sense type things; things that all Americans should be able to rally behind; and distribute it widely, indiscriminate of race, creed, religion, level of education, or location.
oh wait.
that would be me.
day in and day out, this day in the life of an American girl ventures to spell out the very nature of how we -- as a culture and as Americans -- either come together, or divide, in one way or another. You're welcome. But enough about me --
Under the original plan, laid out by our founders and outlined by our Constitution and expressed in our Declaration of Independence, we were given something like a guide to follow, compass included.
Under the original plan, laid out by our founders and outlined by our Constitution and expressed in our Declaration of Independence, we were given something like a guide to follow, compass included.
Nothing from our origins intended to be a guide in managing obscene amounts of frivolous lawsuits, or reckless amounts of government spending, or the making of a mountain of unconscionable debt, now 22 trillion dollars; nothing from our origins intended to bound the American people to a system of governing that gives total validation to various and outrageous government programs, departments, and crazy entitlements. Not one thing.
The ONE great power and authority extended to the powers that be, chiefly falls under the keeping of a militia, with the sole purpose of protecting America from enemies foreign and domestic. The creation of a military force and the rigid adherence to the protection and security of our sovereign nation was THE ONLY THING the government really had to do -- besides just keeping the peace and order among the people, ensuring that all people followed the law of the land. National Security was THE mandate of the president and our congress.
And yet, for some odd reason, it now takes a declaration, to the level of a president designating the conditions on the ground to be a NATIONAL EMERGENCY, in order to do just that: to protect and secure our nation.
Oh and let me count the ways of how much I would like to put Chris Wallace in a time out...his line of questioning and tone on Sunday was bordering rude and argumentative. Clearly, his goal was to not only diminish the authority of the office of this president, but use the White House adviser as a political punching bag and reduce him to nothing more than a Trump political hack. We get it, Chris; you do not like this administration one itty bitty bit. That is not news to me, let alone anyone else who routinely watches you.... what everrrr And how about that Lara Logan's honest commentary of just about everybody else in media (captured in a post by Greg Gutfeld).
But not to worry -- Stephen Miller is just that smart; nothing phased him. It was as if, the longer the interview went on, the more Miller had to dig deep to make his point (on behalf of the president); and the more he did. But I digress. I don't need Stephen Miller to make my point.......consider this mention of the well-timed interview just an added benefit on the day, just another dimension to appreciate and captivate...it's what I do.
You know, if only Chris Wallace simply recognized, and understood, the senseless and reckless actions of this congress, by virtue of the people's house not supporting the security demands of this president of the United States -- considering that he is the one adhering to the primary duty of his office -- then perhaps that interview would have proceeded in a manner a wee bit more fair and balanced. Instead, Wallace chose to go on the attack.
Truth is -- up until Trump's presidency -- every presidency and congress has been unanimously in favor of securing our southern border, recognizing it to be an issue all American people cannot ignore. It was, an issue some might profess to be just common sense; and most Americans felt the same way about it -- legal immigration, yes; illegal immigration through a porous border, no.
And yet, in reality, up until now, their choice of action has been precisely that -- to ignore it.
a little American history: circa 2006 -- from The Boston Globe:
And yet, in reality, up until now, their choice of action has been precisely that -- to ignore it.
a little American history: circa 2006 -- from The Boston Globe:
The bill before us will certainly do some good,” Obama said on the Senate floor in October 2006. He praised the legislation, saying it would provide “better fences and better security along our borders” and would “help stem some of the tide of illegal immigration in this country.”
Obama was talking about the Secure Fence Act of 2006, legislation authorizing a barrier along the southern border passed into law with the support of 26 Democratic senators including party leaders like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Chuck Schumer.
later in the same article,
“I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in,” Clinton said at November 2015 town hall in New Hampshire, “and I do think that you have to control your borders.”
And yet, here we are today.
Circa 2016 -- Trump not only used it as his main issue and campaign promise when running to become the next president, he has continued to lead with it in his policy making, and for the better part of his first two years, has done everything in his power and position not to ignore it and force congress to deal with it.

It is congress who is negligent, forcing the national emergency.
It is congress in contempt, showing blatant disregard of the laws currently in place to protect our sovereign nation and keep our border secure.
It is this congress, and mainly the democrats, using border security as a political tool, contradicting not only their own policies of yore, but making the hypocrisy, itself, the basis of a pure dereliction of duty in this very day!
The thing is, there are so many things the nation used to consider to be of the common sense realm, that are now litigated in the flurry of the left leaning mainstream media, and through avenues of social media managed and directed by left-leaning media giants, like Facebook and Google, whereas public opinion is swayed within a nano-second, and many times swimming through channels where even the initial claims are utterly and irretrievably false...or, at the very least, manufactured and tweaked to promote a narrative.
Under the pressure of such a tsunami of opinion, common sense doesn't even stand a chance.
Common sense is drowned by the raging political tide, reflected in the new wave of a more radicalized American congress -- believing it can justify turning what was once a system based upon sound and conservative governance and policy into pure muck, a free-for-all.
Common sense will tell you, America doesn't work like that.
Call it the S.S. Trifecta: America's government was designed choosing the successes of Greece, Rome and Jerusalem; choosing to elevate a natural independence, ambitious capitalism and entrepreneurship, alongside a humble and unwavering faith in God These are the things that set America apart from all the rest.
America set forth upon a certain path with a plan, a guide, and somehow, in ways seen and unseen, somewhere between the pioneering spirit within us and Divine Providence, each new generation set out to improve upon the previous generation. And it was not only good, it worked.
We, as a nation, worked.
We, as a nation, worked together.
We, as a nation, did our part.
We, as a nation, relied upon ourselves, our talents, our family, our ambitions, our God -- to make our way.
If you came to America in the early immigration system -- you required a sponsor, to ensure that you and your family would not be a burden to America, and Americans. That's just common sense.
But let's see, where to start --
here's some common sense, slightly exaggerated -- in numbers.
In truth, the Iranian regime became 100- 150 billion dollars richer, through the lifting of economic sanctions during the negotiations of the nuclear deal, under the Obama Administration. Oh, but don't get me wrong -- the U.S. did give them money, in the company of a host of other European nations; it was sent under the cover of darkness, probably in the range of about 2 billion dollars, in cash. Money the Iranians turned around to use to support terrorist organizations and shore up their nuclear arsenals. Oh, and did I mention, the Obama Administration sent the money right about the time Iran released the four prisoners? and who says we don't pay for hostages....
From Marc Thiessen, Obama took lying to new heights...
How about this -- just thinking outside the border lines now --- how about we get our share of this 2 billion in cash back, from the Iranians, and use it to fund part of the wall?
And then, get the 2.5 billion previously granted to the lovely state of California -- for efforts to build its high speed rail, now defunct; oh, and ask for the additional billion dollars it planned on giving towards this project at a later date, directly to the fund to build the wall.
this is gonna be fun....I could do this all day.
but I'm not.
What else has come out in the last few days -- oh, how about that commentary by Martina Navratilova when she stepped in the clay with this: "A man can decide to be female, take hormones if required by whatever sporting organization is concerned, win everything in sight and perhaps earn a small fortune, and then reverse his decision and go back to making babies if he so desires," she wrote.
“It’s insane and it’s cheating,” she continued. “I am happy to address a transgender woman in whatever form she prefers, but I would not be happy to compete against her. It would not be fair.”
IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR, she said. And she would be right. IT would not be a fair playing field.
Gosh this business of trans-athletes playing in female sports makes absolutely no sense. Their bodies are not the same as women's bodies no matter what they do cosmetically. It's about the pure, unadulterated muscle they were born with; no! Martina is right -- it's not the same!
But look at how she is being treated for just speaking up with the truth!
Folks, we are in for a bumpy ride if we don't get ourselves situated and aligned with the things that bind, with the things that unite, with the things that are just common sense.
Clearly, there are lines between right and wrong, just by way of common sense.
oof
maybe that's it -- the commons has been taken over with perhaps a cultural coup of the century. It hasn't taken all that long; probably dating back to the liberals and socialists and communists and marxists mentored by Saul Alinsky. Those with direct influence include the likes of Hillary Clinton and Bernie... and even Obama followed the followers.
for a better grip on what we are dealing with -- from
in a nutshell, and if I had to choose -- this era of Alinsky and his kommanders would be the origins of America's downfall.
For decades now, we have just let these ideas seep into our education of our children, creep into the annals of our government, and *bleep* us into an abyss so deep, daylight is nowhere to be found.
But it's this endless agitation that has made America what it is today. It's in place of what should be, the endless pursuit of happiness....with liberty and justice for all, under the law, under the protections of a sovereign land, and totally secure from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
and boom, just like that, the end of this day is here.
Make it a Good Day, G

In other words, the Obama administration: (1) told Congress it would not allow Iran access to U.S. financial institutions; (2) issued a special license allowing Iran to do exactly that; (3) unsuccessfully pressured U.S. banks to help Iran; (4) lied to Congress and the American people about what it had done; (5) admitted in internal emails that these efforts "exceeded" U.S. obligations under the nuclear deal; (6) sent officials, including bank regulators, around the world to urge foreign financial institutions to do business with Iran; and (7) promised that they would get nothing more than a slap on the wrist for violating U.S. sanctions.And for more, read The Iran deal is dead -- Iran killed it, by Kenneth R. Timmerman.

Saul Alinsky and the Rise of Amorality in American Politics
by D. L. Adams (January 2010)
“Change” is both the tool and the goal, but it is rarely defined in any way that is not strictly local and economic; better housing for the poor, better economic opportunity, better wages, better municipal services, etc. However, at the national level "change" is left undefined. In fact it seems, the process of change itself, not the implementation of "change," is the goal.
This is amoral political agitation that appears to be about something positive but is really about deconstruction. Once the institutions of "oppression" that require "change" are destroyed, there is no plan delineated by Alinsky (nor his current crop of followers) as to what will replace them. The goal apparently is "people power" (whatever that means). However, since the concept of destroying the institutions of society specifically to "empower" people is foundational, this is the same message of Marx.
Alinsky is a Marxist without the red flag. Any institution that allows one group of people to advance at the expense of another is to be brought down even if those who advance within it do so as a result of honest hard work and talent. The essence of Alinsky is a radical idea of universal equivalence, though this has been seen before both in Marxist theory, and in Communist states. In order to agitate for “change,” Alinsky and his adherents require the population to be on edge; "rubbed raw." This desire for endless agitation as a goal is bizarre and disturbing.
in a nutshell, and if I had to choose -- this era of Alinsky and his kommanders would be the origins of America's downfall.
For decades now, we have just let these ideas seep into our education of our children, creep into the annals of our government, and *bleep* us into an abyss so deep, daylight is nowhere to be found.
But it's this endless agitation that has made America what it is today. It's in place of what should be, the endless pursuit of happiness....with liberty and justice for all, under the law, under the protections of a sovereign land, and totally secure from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
