DNC: Emanating a Putrid Smell Across America

/in , , , /by

At my local gym using an aerobic machine, I saw on TV Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood speaking at the DNC. Seeing this despicable, cold, calculating and evil woman at the podium defined the Democrat party as the source of the putrid smell spreading across our country. The DNC emanated the foul odor of America’s moral decline. Richards is running a national dead-baby-body-parts chop shop. And yet, this vile woman had the audacity to deceptively portray herself as an advocate for women and Trump as anti-woman.

After the release of numerous undercover videos exposing the horrors and illegality happening behind the walls of Planned Parenthood, why on earth would the Democrats gift the abortion factory’s president hero status at their national convention?

Rev Joseph Prince says a key component of spiritual warfare is to relax and trust God. In other words, lay your burdens at God’s feet and trust Him to make things right. Mary and I decided to have a spiritual warfare day, relaxing at New Smyrna Beach, FL. Note: we stay close to the shore in shallow water. Shark attacks at New Smyrna are up.

We posted “Trump” signs on the beach beside our tent. Responses from people driving and walking on the beach were overwhelmingly positive; 99% in favor of Trump; honks and thumps up. Some yelled, “Make America great again!” Clearly, that theme really resonates.

A tall muscular white guy approached our tent. He was a tourist from South Carolina. He said our Trump sign renewed his faith in Florida. As we chatted about the decline of our country, it became obvious that he was a Christian. He asked if we could pray together for our country. Mary and I jumped at the opportunity. We joined hands as he lead us in prayer. It was awesome. Very cool. After he left, it dawned on me that we never exchanged names.

Comfy in my beach chair, I read, “You Can If You Think You Can” by Norman Vincent Peale. Upon reading the following passage, I thought, Oh my gosh, this book was published back in 1984. And yet, Peale’s statement perfectly describes and rebukes the mindset of Bernie Sanders disciples and the message Democrats are using to con Americans at their national convention.

Peale wrote:

“One wonders what has come over this great, free country. We are the descendants of a once great breed of men who had problems and had them plenty. But did they whine and whimper and crawl through life on their hands and knees piteously demanding of some so-called benevolent government that they be taken care of? Not on your life! They stood solidly on their feet and they took care of themselves. And they built the greatest economy in the history of the world– one that has made available more goods and services to more people than any other in the long life of mankind on earth.”

Peale succinctly explained my repulsion with the Democrats. They have successfully brainwashed far too many Americans into believing they are victims; they are owed; they are weak and they can not make it without daily sucking on the breast of government. Bernie Sanders supporters eat that crap up.

Also contributing to the putrid smell emanating from the DNC is the party’s aggressive attempts to divide Americans into victimized camps, repeal more personal freedoms, spread hate for traditional values and spread hate for cops. Their convention flat out stinks to high heaven folks.

As a matter of fact, Rush Limbaugh offered Trump the script for an extremely effective short speech.

“Black Lives Matter, New Black Panthers, Occupy Wall Street, stripping God from their party platform, transgender bathroom advocates, pro-death panels in health care, baby butchers at Planned Parenthood, a candidate who violated the Espionage Act thousands of times, pedophiles, illegal immigrants, Sharia law Muslims, Marxists! That’s the modern day Democrat Party,” and you close it with a simple ending: “It’s time to clean up this mess.

“We deserve better. Let them manage their own affairs. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.”

Folks, Rush nailed it. This is the modern Democrat Party. Disgusting.

Just when you thought the depravity of the democrats could not descend any deeper into the pits of hell, this act broke the needle on my evil-meter. The democrats featured the mothers of black men killed by police. In essence, the democrats poured a boat load of gasoline on the flames of hatred for cops. They had to know that featuring the moms would further the lie that cops murder blacks and inspire the assassination of more cops.http://bit.ly/2adxU0A

Clearly, the democrats deem the lives of our brave men and women in blue acceptable collateral damage in their quest to secure the black vote for Hillary. It is hard to believe that such evil is being spread by a major political party in the United States of America.

I am passionately campaigning for Trump. For those who see little difference between Trump and Hillary, Americans have died due to decisions made by Hillary. Clearly, her personal political ambitions and agenda take priority over American lives.

That is really scary.

Staying home or writing in another candidate, in essence, equals giving this wicked, wicked woman, and her democrat minions our White House. This is the simple obvious truth. God bless.

Actually, Hillary is the Third Woman Nominated to be President of the United States

/in , , /by

Democrats and the media are pushing the narrative that Hillary Clinton has broken the “glass ceiling” by being the first woman nominated to become president of the United States. That narrative is false. Hillary Clinton is actually the third woman to be nominated for president.

The first woman to be nominated to be president was Victoria Woodhull, who ran for the office in 1872. Woodhull was nominated by the Equal Rights party. The second woman was Belva Ann Lockwood who was nominated and ran for president under the banner of the same Equal Rights Party as Woodhull. Lockwood racked up 4,149 votes in six states.

Carol Felsenthal in Politico Magazine wrote:

woodhull_wiki

Equal Rights Party Presidential Candidate Victoria Claflin Woodhull, later Victoria Woodhull Martin, who was an American leader of the woman’s suffrage movement.

Few know, though, the name of the woman who put the first crack in that highest, hardest glass ceiling. That honor belongs to a beautiful, colorful and convention-defying woman named Victoria Woodhull, who ran for the office in 1872, 136 years before Clinton made her first run in 2008. Woodhull, who died nearly twenty years before Clinton was even born, hazarded a path on which no woman before her had ever dared to tread. Even more amazing is that she did it almost 50 years before the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 gave women the right to vote. On Election Day, November 5, 1872, Victoria Woodhull couldn’t even vote for herself.

Although it must be noted that she could not have voted for herself in any case, given the fact that she was incarcerated on Election Day, and for a month or so after, in New York City’s Ludlow Street Jail on obscenity charges…

Woodhull ran under the banner of the Equal Rights Party—formerly the People’s Party—which supported equal rights for women and women’s suffrage. The party nominated her in May 1872 in New York City to run uphill against incumbent Republican Ulysses S. Grant and Democrat Horace Greeley and selected as her running mate Frederick Douglass, former escaped slave-turned-abolitionist writer and speaker. On paper, it was an impressive pick, but not really: Douglass never appeared at the party’s nominating convention, never agreed to run with Woodhull, never participated in the campaign and actually gave stump speeches for Grant.

There’s no record of how many popular votes she received; though we do know that 12 years later [1884], another woman [Belva Ann Lockwood] running for president under the banner of the same Equal Rights Party racked up 4,149 votes in six states.

The Democratic Party has a way of twisting the truth and the media has failed to do its due diligence and research. The DNC narrative is Hillary has “broken the glass ceiling” when in fact it was already broken by two other women. There was no glass ceiling to break. Not in 2008 and not in 2016.

Both women lost. Perhaps Hillary will be the third strike for the Democrats who tout themselves as the party of equal rights?

Are American voters witnessing deja vu all over again?

PODCAST: Trump and Russia, DNC’s Plot Against Bernie, Merkel’s Reckless Insanity

/in , , , /by

It’s now official – Donald J. Trump and Hillary R. Clinton are the candidates for President of the United States in 2016. The DNC convention took place in Philadelphia this week, amidst new proof that the Democrat Party actively schemed against Bernie Sanders. Hillary, it seems, was their anointed candidate all along.

Meanwhile, our dishonest and pathetic media speculates that Donald Trump somehow coordinated the leak of DNC emails with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Is there no absurdity the American public won’t believe if it is presented by pundits and so-called journalists?

In other news, the Middle East and African landscape is changing rapidly. Arab and African countries are moving ever closer to Israel, while Iran – through its instigation – pushes these relationships to new levels. Finally, in Germany, Merkel doubles down on her homicidal embrace of Muslim so-called refugees.

Topics of Discussion:

  • DNC and the plot against Bernie Sanders
  • Media’s claim that Trump is with Putin
  • Middle East Update
  • Iran threatens closure of Strait of Hormuz
  • Merkel’s suicidal embrace of Muslim so-called refugees

and more…

VIDEO: After Convention, Bernie Supporters Go Full Trump — #NeverHillary

/in , , , , /by

nopehillaryposterCampus Reform descended on the Democratic National Convention to speak with the disgruntled supporters of Bernie Sanders to see if they’re going to toe the Democratic line now that Hillary Clinton is the official nominee. Surprisingly, these chanters of, “Hell no, DNC, we won’t vote for Hillary” are sticking to their #NeverHillary guns and jumping ship to vote Donald Trump.

“I was strong for Bernie, and now I’m taking the stand for Trump,” one protester said.

“If I had to vote for Trump or Hillary, I’d pick Trump,” said another Bernie fan.

It was made clear that this sentiment is spreading because of the fallout from the convention. Sanders supporters are looking to buck the establishment and ensure that Clinton loses the election and Trump is looking to be a good option for them.

Why Bernie Sanders Voters Should Vote Trump

Cartoon: Hillary’s Convention Speech…in a Nutshell

VIDEO Expose: Hillary used to sound like Trump on Immigration

/in , , , /by

WASHINGTON, D.C. /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Today, the Board of Directors of Tercera Opción™ PAC unveiled a new web ad in response to the acceptance speech given given by Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. “Our new ad makes it clear that Hillary Clinton’s record does not match her rhetoric on immigration,” said Rafael Fantauzzi, Chair of the “We Deserve Better Campaign” launched by Tercera OpcVIDEO: Hillary used to sound like Trump on Immigration ión. “To paraphrase Ricky Ricardo, ‘Hillary you got sum splainin to do!”

“The problem here is an issue of truthfulness and credibility,” continued Fantauzzi “On one hand is the soaring rhetoric in her speech last night and on the other is a twenty year record of hostility on the issue.”

“Hillary Clinton’s record speaks for itself and our ad presents that record in her own words,” said Fantauzzi.  “Which Hillary Clinton are we supposed to believe? The one who promises action on immigration reform in her first 100 days or the Hillary Clinton who has said things that sound more like Donald Trump than they do an advocate for Latinos in this country.”

The following is a partial list of some of Hillary’s record on immigration:

  • In 1994, told Congress “we do not think that comprehensive health care benefits should be extended to illegal aliens”.
  • In 2004, Hillary told a New York radio station that she was “adamantly against illegal immigrants” and that “people need to stop employing illegal immigrants”.
  • In 2006, Hillary voted numerous times to build a fence across the US-Mexico border and during a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, she doubled down on the need to strengthen border security and toughen employer sanction.
  • In 2008, Hillary opposed drivers’ licenses for illegal immigrants.
  • In 2014, Hillary told CNN that most unaccompanied children from Central America had to be returned to their country.
  • In 2015, Hillary told a town hall meeting in New Hampshire as senator, “I voted numerous times to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in”.

Last week, Tercera Opción™ Political Action Committee launched its “We Deserve Better” campaign. The campaign is urging voters to support the Libertarian Party candidates for President and Vice President this November: Governors Gary Johnson and Bill Weld.

Juan-Carlos Planas and Rafael Fantauzzi will chair the campaign.   Juan-Carlos “J.C.” Planas served as the District 115 representative in the Florida House of Representatives from 2002-2010.  Rafael Fantauzzi served as the former President and CEO of the National Puerto Rican Coalition.

“This year, we cannot settle for the lesser of two evils,” Fantauzzi said.  “The insults from Donald Trump and the double talk from Hillary Clinton are not our only options.  Governors Gary Johnson and Bill Weld are two of the most successful governors in America and they present the best hope to lead our country in the years ahead.”

Hillary Clinton and DNC Embrace Gun Control at Philadelphia Convention

/in , , , /by

If there was any uncertainty about the animosity Hillary Clinton and the elites of her party have toward America’s gun owners, those doubts were conclusively resolved by this week’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, PA. Again and again, the convention’s organizers made sure the issue of “gun violence” was front and center, even though – with more guns being sold than at any time in American history – the U.S. homicide rate remains at a historic low.

President Obama’s “fundamental transformation of America” has been so thorough and dramatic in other ways that it seems America’s gun owners and outdoor sporting traditions are virtually all that remain of a country many remember from childhood. No wonder, then, the “gun lobby” – Clinton-speak for NRA and its millions of members and supporters – was the subject of so much attention and abuse.

Let’s not mince words. Hillary Clinton does not believe in the Second Amendment. She does not believe in the U.S. Supreme Court decision that recognized a fundamental, constitutional right to have a firearm in one’s own home for self-defense. What she does believe in is the confiscatory gun control policies of Australia, a regime that so demonized and abused gun owners that a territorial “public service announcement” even mocked them with the specter of a prison sentence should they fail to comply.

That’s the Hillary Clinton and national Democratic Party of today. How would they behave if they exercised authority without the restraining hand of a strong opposition party and of grassroots organizations like the NRA to hold them accountable? Look no further than Australia and Great Britain, where private ownership of firearms for self-defense has been effectively abolished, or even California, where every legislative session brings ever more hackneyed and superfluous gun control to suppress lawful firearm ownership.

But wait. Weren’t newspapers reporting that Hillary Clinton won’t “repeal the Second Amendment”? Isn’t that what she said fifty minutes into her monotonous, droning acceptance speech that seemed to promise American voters everything and nothing, from every point of view, all at the same time?

How much more does it need to be said? Hillary Clinton – infamous across the political spectrum and amongst broad demographics for her dishonesty – never speaks with more duplicity than when talking about the Second Amendment.

But don’t take our word for it. The national Democratic Party has clear marching order for how its members are supposed to articulate their stance on guns. As an article on Politico’s website explained, “[R]epresentatives from a broad mix of progressive groups sat around a table [the week before the convention] at the Washington offices of Global Strategy Group, where they received a tutorial on how — and how not — to talk about guns.” Members are not supposed to talk about “gun control” but “gun violence prevention.” They are supposed to invoke “common sense.” They are instructed to appeal to emotion with “victim and survivor stories” but not to “[o]verload the argument with numbers” (which of course don’t favor them). They are even told to lie, by characterizing intentional limits to the sweep of gun control laws as “loopholes” and by decrying a “new normal” of “gun violence” that statistics refute.

All this and more is outlined in a glossy booklet produced by the Gabby Giffords anti-gun group, Americans For Responsible Solutions and, according to the Politico article, “distributed to every House Democrat ….”

What does this all really mean? We can’t provide a better explanation than was offered by Mary Bayer, who The Daily Caller described as “a former Democratic delegate and a volunteer organizer for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.” Bayer was caught on tape speaking to an undercover journalist posing as a gun control advocate. Bayer confirmed elements of the speech code in response to questions, but when asked outright if Hillary Clinton would support banning guns, Bayer answered, “Oh, for sure.” Believing she was counseling a fellow traveler, Bayer explained why the party must nevertheless couch its gun control agenda in more benign, focus-group tested phrases, “You say [expletive] like that and people will buy into it.”

And so Hillary Clinton did say “[expletive] like that” in her nomination acceptance speech on Wednesday. “I’m not here to repeal the Second Amendment,” she said (as if any president has the unilateral authority to amend the Constitution). “I’m not here to take away your guns,” she insisted. “I just don’t want you to be shot by someone who shouldn’t have a gun in the first place.” She reminded viewers, “You heard, you saw, family members of people killed by gun violence” (although she omitted the fact that some of those incidents were determined, including by Obama’s Department of Justice, to involve acts of defensive force). “You heard, you saw,” Clinton said, “family members of police officers killed in the line of duty because they were outgunned by criminals” (cravenly ambushed, yes, outgunned, no). She offered no actual solutions but referred to some undefined “common ground” she believes must exist.

Hillary Clinton’s predecessor and ideological compatriot Barack Obama has said similar things. And then came his calls to ban America’s most popular rifle. And the Administration’s actual attempt to ban one of the most popular types of ammunition for that rifle. And his appointment of Supreme Court Justices who voted against an individual right under the Second Amendment and for expansions of federal gun control. And the Administration’s use of banking regulators to try to drive gun dealers out business. And its gun sales to Mexico drug cartels, even as it cited narco-terrorism to call for gun control in the United States. And it’s latest measure to force commercial gunsmiths to fork over thousands of dollars annually to the U.S. State Department to register as “manufacturers,” whether or not they manufacture anything.

And the list continues.

“Fool me once,” the saying goes, “shame on you.” But, “Fool me twice, shame on me.”

There are, perhaps, American gun owners who were fooled by Barack Obama’s reassuring rhetoric before his second term. And there may be a new generation of American gun owners who are tempted to believe that Hillary Clinton will behave moderately in pursuit of “gun violence prevention” and “common sense” gun restrictions.

But if they’re fooled this time, there may not be a second time. After this week’s convention, the consensus of the Democratic Party elite has been laid bare. And this may well be the last chance American gun owners will get to safeguard their rights.

Egypt: Have Sex With Me Or I Won’t Give You an Abortion

/in , , , , /by

Egyptian doctors are willing to perform illegal abortions for a heavy price. Three women spoke to Deutsche Welle Arabic about their experiences.

Because of the traditions and the laws that prevent sexual relations outside of the framework of marriage, some Egyptian women have sex secretly and some become pregnant.

The solution can be either an abortion or keeping the child and becoming a mother out of wedlock. However, because abortion is illegal in Egypt, doctors who perform the procedure can face between three and 15 years in prison.

However, for a large sum of money — or worse — a woman can find a doctor who will perform an abortion in secret. It goes without saying that those abortions are oftentimes carried out in primitive and unsanitary conditions.

What follows is the experiences of three women who agreed to be interviewed by Deutsche Welle Arabic about their experiences:

Asma al-Sayyid, 24

“It started when I met a man when I was studying at university. We fell in love, and the relationship became physical. I was quite surprised when I became pregnant. He had promised to marry me , but when I asked him to keep his promise, he refused. I was even more surprised when I learned that everything he had told me about himself were lies,” Asma al-Sayyid, 24, related.

Asma thought about committing suicide, because she feared the shame the pregnancy would bring her and her family, but she was unsuccessful. She then decided to have an abortion and found a doctor willing to perform the operation. Because she couldn’t afford to pay, the doctor told her she would have to have sex with him in exchange for the procedure.

Asma rejected his offer and decided to keep the baby. “My family understood what happened, and my mother died of a broken heart because of the shame I had brought on them. They disowned me.”

Afterward,  Asma found a job to support herself. Her employer said he would help her out. But it wasn’t from a fatherly point of view, she says, but because he wanted to marry her. In fact, he had already proposed to her in secret.

“Despite the large age difference, I eventually decided to marry him to be able to adequately provide for my child,” she said.

Asma said she wished that abortion were legal in Egypt. “If I had been able to get an abortion, my family would not have known anything about my situation and there wouldn’t be a child in my life now. The government doesn’t allow abortions even for women who are married because of the sharia.

“I think about committing suicide all the time, but then I think about the future of my child and worry that no-one else will take care of her. I am alive because of her. Why has my life been destroyed because of a mistake I made? I have the right to live an honorable life with my child. Why does the society and the state make it so hard for me?” she asked.

Hiba Ahmed

Hiba said that her father forced her to leave her school and go to work so that the family  would be able to pay for her twin brother’s education. She got involved with a colleague at work, and they got into a physical relationship.

However, when she became pregnant, he abandoned her.

Hiba started looking for a safe way to have an abortion and went to a doctor. When offered her the choice of having to have sex with him or not having an abortion, she chose the former.

She blames her father and brother for what happened to her, because they took her out of school and sent her to work.

Amira Hussein, 19

When Amira was at university, she was duped by a senior scholar, who professed to love her and promised her an incredible future together with him which included a job at the university.

When she became pregnant, she was not upset, but later, after he abandoned her, she came to regret it.

“The scholar went on to obtain a very high position in the country,” she says, “but he left me when I became pregnant.”

Amira decided to have an abortion and was one of the fortunate women who was able to pay for it.

Noted Egyptian women’s rights lawyer Reda el-Danbouki is the director the Women’s Center for Guidance and Legal Awareness, a non-governmental organization that works for equality and opportunities for women. He says that even though abortion is a crime, the procedure is commonplace in Egypt and prosecutions rarely take place.

“This is because when it happens, it is done in secret and no-one speaks about it,” El-Danbouki said. “If news gets out it’s only because something happens, especially if the mother dies as a result of the abortion.

“Even if it is discovered, it’s a very hard thing to prove. The number of convictions is very low as well, because the judges understand the social and economic reasons that can cause a woman — married or unmarried — to have an abortion. In these cases, judges try to look for reasons to acquit the defendants.”

U.S. Muslim Supremacist Group Wants You To Stop Saying ‘Jihadist’

/in , , , /by

The head of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) tweeted after the Nice attack #Don’tCallTerroristsJihadists

The executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has called on Americans to cease calling terrorists “jihadists.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has a history of Islamist extremism including links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The U.S. Justice Department labeled CAIR an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a Hamas-financing trial and listed CAIR as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity.

In addition, CAIR was officially designated a terrorist organizationon by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on November 15, 2014.

Following the terrorist atrocity in Nice on Bastille Day (July 14) in which 84 people were killed by a man whom ISIS claimed as one of its soldiers, CAIR’s executive Director Nihad Awad sent out a tweet saying:

cairjihadtweet

The first line is unobjectionable in and of itself. But the hashtag he used, trying to argue that terrorism has nothing to do with an ideology of jihad, is very revealing.

Awad seems to want to separate the ideology of jihad, which is used by many groups to justify violence in their attempt to impose Islamist theocracy, from terrorist acts. This looks like an attempt to whitewash the ideology driving terrorism.

The Islamist groups that use some form of the doctrine of armed jihad include but are not limited to:

Many of these groups are ideologically descended from the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian Islamist group that is the forerunner of many modern Islamist movements. Hamas is an affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Nihad Awad himself was a member of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee and was recorded at a 1993 meeting discussing how to support Hamas and the “goals, strategies and American perceptions of the Muslim Brotherhood” in the U.S.

Most religious or philosophical traditions have a concept of just war, and a rationale for what counts as just war. It is unreasonable to expect Islam to be the only major religion in which war is never considered justified.

But to argue that terrorist groups and terrorist attacks are not motivated by a more aggressive interpretation of jihad is simply disingenuous.

To refuse to use the term jihadist to describe these organizations or their fighters when they explicitly adhere to a doctrine of armed jihad would be inaccurate.

Not using the term “jihadist” would also make it harder to identify the ideological roots of terrorism. In the confusion, ordinary citizens who witness a barrage of terror attacks committed in the name of Islamist extremism may come to associate terrorism with the religion of Islam itself, rather than the armed jihadist wing of the broader global theocratic project of Islamism.

Surely Nihad Awad would not want that to happen.

DNC Day 4: Hillary Clinton the ‘old saw’

/in , , , , , /by

Hillary Clinton gave her acceptance speech as the Democratic Party nominee for president on Thursday, July 29th, 2016. During her speech Americans were looking for new ideas, a new way forward. What they got was the “old saw.”

Many who watched and listened to Mrs. Clinton has a sense of deja vu all over again.

In Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, the subject of Hillary Clinton’s college thesis, RULE 11 warns:

The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)

Americans came away from Hillary’s acceptance speech with an uncomfortable feeling that she has no strategy to hold a place at the political table. Here are some quotes from the Mrs. Clinton’s acceptance speech that are “old saw” part of the problem statements:

  1. We will not build a wall.
  2. We will not ban a religion [Islam].
  3. There’s too much inequality.
  4. Too little social mobility.
  5. We say: “We’ll fix it together.”
  6. 20 years ago I wrote a book called “It Takes a Village.” A lot of people looked at the title and asked, what the heck do you mean by that? This is what I mean. None of us can raise a family, build a business, heal a community or lift a country totally alone.
  7. A country where the economy works for everyone, not just those at the top.
  8. I don’t think President Obama and Vice President Biden get the credit they deserve for saving us from the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. [Clinton then states, “And I’ve heard from so many of you who feel like the economy just isn’t working.”]
  9. I believe that our economy isn’t working the way it should because our democracy isn’t working the way it should.
  10. And I believe Wall Street can never, ever be allowed to wreck Main Street again.
  11. believe that climate change is real and that we can save our planet while creating millions of good-paying clean energy jobs.
  12. I believe that when we have millions of hardworking immigrants contributing to our economy, it would be self-defeating and inhumane to kick them out.
  13. If you believe that companies should share profits with their workers, not pad executive bonuses, join us.
  14. If you believe the minimum wage should be a living wage… and no one working full time should have to raise their children in poverty… join us.
  15. If you believe that every man, woman, and child in America has the right to affordable health care…join us.
  16. If you believe we should expand Social Security and protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions… join us.
  17. Let’s make sure this economy works for everyone, not just those at the top.
  18. In my first 100 days, we will work with both parties to pass the biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War II.
  19. Bernie Sanders and I will work together to make college tuition-free for the middle class and debt-free for all!
  20. Now, here’s the thing, we’re not only going to make all these investments, we’re going to pay for every single one of them. And here’s how: Wall Street, corporations, and the super-rich are going to start paying their fair share of taxes.
  21. I’m proud that we put a lid on Iran’s nuclear program without firing a single shot — now we have to enforce it, and keep supporting Israel’s security.
  22. I’m proud that we shaped a global climate agreement — now we have to hold every country accountable to their commitments, including ourselves.
  23. So let’s put ourselves in the shoes of young black and Latino men and women who face the effects of systemic racism, and are made to feel like their lives are disposable.
  24. None of us can do it alone.

Each of these statements are “old saw.” There is no compromise in these policies, they are the same policies used by President Obama. Clinton and her colleague Barack Obama are part of the problem, without new solutions.

Embracing these same policies and expecting different results is a form of political insanity.

Influence at the DNC: More than 60 superdelegates are registered lobbyists

/in , , /by

The Sunlight Foundation reports:

Lobbyists wield enormous influence and, depending on your point of view, can bring positive or negative changes to our government. From reptile keepers to balloon enthusiasts, everyone has a constitutional right to petition government. The power some lobbyists hold over both parties in Congress and the White House is well documented. But what’s not well documented is how lobbyists play a role in the Democratic party’s nominating process.

As Libby Watson noted earlier this year, most delegates to the Democratic National Convention, held this year in Philadelphia, are allocated based on the vote share from primaries and caucuses held in individual states, territories and the District of Columbia. But there are also 712 so-called voting superdelegates. These individuals include former and current elected officials as well as members of the Democratic National Committee. Superdelegates can support whomever they choose and are not bound by any primary or caucus result.

And, as we found, some of the superdelegates also happen to be lobbyists for interests like big banks, payday lenders, health care insurers and unions.

The Democrats Make Best Case Against Mrs. Clinton

/in , , , , /by

The Democrats have made the best possible case against the election of Mrs. Clinton to the office of President of the United States. It was horrendous to sit and watch the parade of one Democrat after another during that party’s convention in Philadelphia. One progressive Democrat after another expressed near hatred and spewed lies about Donald Trump. In fact, the Democrats did not utter one single word in regards to defeating the Islamic terrorists or law breaking illegal immigrants, but were quick to condemn Trump, who legally worked his way up the ladder of success and has hired tens of thousands of workers from all walks of life.

The Democrats have displayed more respect toward illegal immigrants than to the principle of preserving American sovereignty. Democrats even displayed their general disregard for national peace and tranquility. They had the nerve to justify and rationalize murdering police officers. There were plenty of verbal salvos launched at republican Donald Trump, I did not hear a syllable mentioning the need to defeat Islamic terrorists. The terrorists have for decades been following through on their threat destroy civilized western nations, including our republic.

The Democrats including Mrs. Clinton view protecting our borders as bigoted and invading Islamic terrorists as just misunderstood. At one time placing a higher regard for enemies of the United States than our republic used to be frowned upon by democrats, my how priorities have changed. No wonder Americans don’t trust Mrs. Clinton who keeps getting reintroduced as different and trustworthy, but continues to show herself to be incompetent and crooked.

In other happenings, representative Keith Ellison, a Democrat and the first Muslim to openly serve in the U. S. Congress, recently complained about gun manufacturers making “a killing” from concerned U.S. citizens who go out and buy a weapon after a horrible shooting. He droned on “because one, they could be banned and they want to stockpile them.” Or two, “their afraid of being shot, so they go buy a gun.” Ellison also said “the gun sellers are making a killing on killing.”

The progressive representative then stated “that guns should be restricted in the same manner as tobacco or lead and that companies shouldn’t make money from gun sales.” “That big industry making money off a particular activity that id harmful to the public and they lied about it, so they can spread their campaign donations around to loyal members of congress who will protect their interests.”

Unbelievable, rather than trying to mobilize efforts to protect American’s from both illegal immigrants and Muslim refugee terrorists who have murdered many Americans, the first confirmed Muslim congressman in U.S. history wants to stop gun makers and sellers from earning a living.

Of course his bottom line goal is to get guns away from “We the People.” So don’t expect Representative Ellison or any Democrat to mobilize a drive to demand that government take a greater effort to protect us from enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Sometimes things aren’t what they seem to be. The dragon media and even FOX News has told us that Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine is a very safe pick, a pristine candidate with a history of missionary work in Central America, a fluent Spanish speaker and a moderate by progressive democrat party standards. But a report by Ryan Mauro for the Clarion Project indicates that Kaine’s record may not be as clean as advertised. According to Mauro, Kaine has a long history of embracing Islamists.

“He appointed a Hamas supporter to a state immigration commission; addressed a gathering honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect and received donations from well-known Islamist groups, “says Mauro, a fellow with the Clarion Project and an adjunct professor of homeland security at Liberty University in Virginia. In 2007, when Kaine was governor of Virginia, he appointed Muslim American society president Esam Omeish to the commonwealths’ Immigration Commission.

The MAS is an offshoot of the dangerous Muslim Brotherhood, as documented in a 2008 court filing in Dallas, Texas during the Holy Land Foundation trial. That Muslim sympathizer is being given a pass by the progressive or establishment media. The history of Kaine’s close association with Muslims in such a way reflects the kid glove and in some cases, appeasement of Muslims by both the media, the Obama administration and RINO republicans like Paul Ryan.

To this very day, such an approach has not made America safer from terrorist attacks, nor brought the United States one step closer to victory over Muslims who decades ago declared war on the United States and civilized nations in general. It should be abundantly clear to office holders and leaders of both political parties that the Islamists have been effectively acting on their threat of war via terrorism.

America cannot afford many more years of a government that is more willing to appease those who’s religion instructs them to kill, rape, or enslave non-Muslims rather than protect “We the People” from enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Let’s get together Fridays at 5:00 PM EST and 2:00 PM PST on AM 1180 KCKQ, in Reno Nevada and everywhere on www.americamatters.com.

Trump Castigated For Acknowledging Immigration Threats

/in , , , , /by

The Sword of Damocles hanging over America’s head.

It is time that when the “compassion card” is brought out- the issue of compassion must first take into account the safety and well-being of America and Americans.  There is nothing compassionate about committing suicide!

I urge you to get involved and demand our elected representatives actually represent us- We the People!  The information contained in my article is being provided to educate as many of our fellow Americans as possible so that they can ask the right questions and make the appropriate demands on our political leaders and representatives and political candidates.

Please pass this suggestion to as many folks as you can!

America, first and foremost, is comprised of its citizens not rivers parks and cities.  We have never had more American citizens, especially minority citizens, living below the poverty level.  We now expect that American kids will not do as well as their parents.  This is not how we will get America to lead.

Simply stated, American Lives Matter!

One of the points of contention where political “liberals” and political “conservatives” are concerned is how much government is appropriate, with conservatives demanding less government and liberals generally believing in more government, an issue that should be agreed upon by all reasonable Americans is the need for our government to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws.  This should not be a divisive issue- our immigration laws are completely and utterly blind as to race, religion and ethnicity and were enacted for the two primary purposes of protecting innocent lives and protecting the jobs of American workers.

If ever there was a “No brainer” issue- you would have to believe it would be the fair and effective enforcement of our immigration laws.

Here are links to some of my other commentaries that I hope you will find helpful:

All reasonable Americans want to live in safety where the American dream provides opportunities for anyone who is willing to acquire an education, work hard and benefit from a bit of luck.  They want the same for their children and their children’s children.  How on earth could there be any controversy about the need to prevent criminals or terrorists from entering the United States?  How on earth could anyone think that it is good for Americans to have to compete with foreign workers from Third World countries for their jobs- forcing wages down, thereby creating wage suppression?

In October 2014 Progressives For Immigration Reform published my policy brief: The Liberal Case for Effective Immigration Law Enforcement

A video of my presentation of my policy brief at the Progressives For Immigration Reform conference in November 2014 has been posted on You Tube.

On November 15, 2014 I was honored to join three true leaders in the United States Congress in a panel discussion on immigration- Senator Jeff Sessions and Congressmen Louis Gohmert and John Fleming.  A video of this panel discussion has been posted on the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s website under the title, “Immigration Wars”

The perspectives of these true leaders are well worth listening to.

To provide you with a bit of additional material, during my remarks at the panel discussion, I referenced my June 22, 2007 Op-Ed for the Washington Times that focused on my concerns about the previous attempt to enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform.  Senator Jeff Sessions quoted from my commentary, on three separate dates, from the floor of the U.S. during the contentious floor debates.  In my piece I recommended that Comprehensive Immigration Reform be given a more honest and descriptive title, I suggested that it be renamed the “Terrorist Assistance and Facilitation Act!”  

I recommend you review Senator Session’s statement on June 27, 2007 from the floor of the U.S. Senate on the Immigration Bill in which the Senator made reference to my suggested new name to that disastrous legislation in my Washington Times Op-Ed.  His impassioned pleas to his colleagues averted a catastrophe and that legislation was defeated.  However, not unlike Freddy Krueger, Comprehensive Immigration Reform has been brought back to life through the unilateral actions of President Obama and his proposed executive actions.  Furthermore, there are politicians from both parties willing to give this legislative betrayal of America and Americans CPR!

My Op-Ed was entitled:Immigration bill a ‘No Go‘

Today our nation and our citizens face a list of challenges and threats- nearly every one of which is being exacerbated by long-standing failures of our nation to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws.  To be clear, it is not “Anti-Immigrant” to want these two issues to be dealt with effectively.  In point of fact, the same immigration laws that mandate the categories of aliens to be kept our of our country and the terms under which aliens should be removed from our country have absolutely nothing to do with race, religion or ethnicity, also provide for the lawful admission of roughly one million lawful immigrants and the naturalization of hundreds of thousands of new citizens each year.

It is therefore a contradiction in terms and thinking to claim that it is “Anti-Immigrant” to support the effective enforcement and administration of our immigration laws

Let us be clear in our thinking- it is “Pro-Immigrant” to be “Pro-Enforcement!”

When the issue of immigration comes up most people purely focus on the lack of integrity to the border that is supposed to separate the United States from America.  Clearly that border lacks integrity and represents little more than a speed bump to smugglers who transport illegal aliens and contraband including record quantities of dangerous drugs such as heroin and cocaine into the United States.

However, there are many more components to the immigration system including systems by which aliens are granted visas to enter the United States and various immigration benefits such as conferring employment authorization to aliens in the United States and also include the adjudications process by which aliens are granted lawful immigrant status and even United States citizenship.

All of these systems of the immigration system lack integrity.  Aliens who have gone on to commit crimes and even participate in terrorist attacks have often been dissevered to have successfully gamed the immigration benefits program in order to embed themselves in communities around the United States as they went about their deadly preparations.

On July 2, 2013 the Washington Times published my Op-Ed: CUTLER: Tough questions about immigration ‘reform’

Who will find the answers while there’s still time to prevent a disaster?

On June 13, 2013 I was interviewed by Neil Cavuto at Fox News on the topic:“Does immigration reform pose too many risks?”

The interview ran about 4 minutes and is worth watching.

On April 4, 2014, CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) posted my commentary that asks the questions all Americans need to ask their political “representatives.”  My commentary is aptly titled:  “How? Why?”

In his historic speech before the 3rd Army on May 31, 1944, General George S. Patton said, on the strategy of holding a position:

“We’re not holding anything, we’ll let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly, and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy.”

Pushing back against Comprehensive Immigration Reform is the same as holding position. The time has come for us to advance by demanding that our borders be made truly secure and our immigration laws be effectively administered and enforced.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform violates all of the findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission but no one is willing to even consider how the lack of real border security and the lack of real integrity to the various components of the immigration system imperil national security and public safety.

The findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission must be the starting point for any discussion about immigration legislation.  That commission determined that a lack of border security, including the visa process. and fraud in the immigration benefits program, enabled terrorists to enter and embed themselves in the United States, as they went about their deadly preparations.

Immigration is not a single issue but a singular issue that impacts nearly every challenge and threat confronting the United States today!  Simply stated, the immigration laws were enacted to save lives and protect the jobs of American workers.  In point of fact, our borders and our immigration laws are America’s first line of defense and last line of defense against international terrorists and transnational criminals.

It is not “Anti-Immigrant” to be “Pro-American!”

Our armed forces are charged with securing America’s borders externally while the DHS is supposed to secure those same borders from within.  The failures of the DHS to live up to its half of the equation are undermining the efforts, valor and incredible sacrifices of Americas men and women who serve in our military!

If our government’s failures to protect American jobs by securing our nation’s borders and effectively enforcing our immigration laws concerns you or especially if it angers you, I ask you to call your Senators and Congressional “Representative. This is not only your right- it is your obligation!

All I ask is that you make it clear to our politicians that we are not as dumb as they hope we are!

We live in a perilous world and in a perilous era. The survival of our nation and the lives of our citizens hang in the balance.

American Lives Matter!

This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue!

You are either part of the solution or you are a part of the problem!

Democracy is not a spectator sport!

Lead, follow or get out of the way!

Is Caroline Zucker wholly owned by the Teachers Union?

/in , , , /by

A number of ethical questions are being raised about career politician and current Sarasota County School Board member Caroline Zucker and her cozy relationship with the Sarasota Classified/Teachers Association (SC/TA).

PatGardner-209x300

Pat Gardner

It appears from an email thread shared with Pat Gardner, the SC/TA president on June 29, 2016 that Zucker met with Gardner and union staff to discuss her campaign seeking a fifth term on the school board.

School board members Shirley Brown (D) and Jane Goodwin (R) along with Lindsey Nickel, Zucker’s public relations person, and Scott Ferguson, Communications Specialist for the Sarasota County Schools and strangely a Booker High School student Owen Leonard who is Zucker’s campaign website designer, were also part of the email thread.

Here are some ethical questions that demand answers:

  1. Why is Zucker asking Teachers Union President Pat Gardner to organize comments on social media against her opponent Teresa Mast?
  2. Why did the SCTA indicate that they will be backing Caroline? What did Zucker promise the union at the June 29th luncheon meeting to gain their endorsement and their help to defeat Teresa Mast?
  3. Why did Scott Ferguson, Communications Specialist for the Sarasota County Schools, create a “Google Alert” on Zucker? Why did he send an article to Zucker about a debate between Zucker and Teresa Mast, her opponent, directly to Zucker using his district email account? Does this violate district policy?
  4. Why are Zucker, Goodwin and Brown having a luncheon meeting with SCTA staff to discuss the endorsement of Teresa Mast by Kelly Caldwell and others?
  5. Is it ethical for school board members to use the union to help defeat an opponent? When they do are Zucker, Goodwin and Brown beholding to the union or independent representatives of the parents, students and taxpayers?
  6. Given the above, will the union require a quid pro quo when time comes to negotiate a new classified/teacher contract? Will the best interests of the board and public be sacrificed in order to pay off a political debt?
  7. Is it appropriate for Zucker to put a student’s name on emails given such wide district distribution? Does this put the student at risk? Why is Zucker using a student to design her website? Is there an ethical issue using Owen Leonard, a student, rather than a professional web designer? How will teachers treat this student? Will Leonard receive special treatment over other Booker High School students given his close relationship to Zucker?
  8. Zucker has hired Nickel Communications, which is according to their website offers “a variety of tools to provide outstanding marketing and Branding services for our clients. We start by conducting client and audience research and coordinate a communication audit of current and previous outward-facing materials including print, radio, television, direct mail, website, social and editorial media” firm. Why aren’t they doing Zucker’s campaign website?
  9. Why are Zucker, Goodwin, Brown, Ferguson and the union working together to undermine Teresa Mast?

Given all of the above questions voters must ask themselves who is Zucker loyal to? Who does Zucker represent, the union or the people?

Finally, will Zucker do anything to stay in office?

Florida Family Action Releases Legislative Scorecard Grading State Legislators on Social Issues 

/in , , , , , /by

FFA Scorecard Cover.pngOrlando, FL – Florida Family Action (FFA) announced the publication of its first Legislative Scorecard, tabulating combined legislative votes from both the 2015 and 2016 Florida Legislative Sessions.

“Our hope is that FFA increasingly becomes known for holding all legislators—Republicans and Democrats—accountable for supporting bad policy, and praise for supporting good public policy on issues related to life; marriage; family and religious liberty,” said John Stemberger, President and General Counsel of Florida Family Action.

Individual legislators were scored based upon votes favorable or unfavorable to FFA’s legislative agenda. The guide scored 12 issues on FFA’s legislative agenda from 2015 and 2016.  State legislators received both a letter grade from A+ to F and a corresponding numeric percentage score from 0-100%.

In the House of Representatives, the average House Democrat score was 41.35%.  The average House Republican score was 90.66%. One House Democrat received an A and one a D, and the rest received F’s.  Thirty seven (37) House Republican Legislators received a perfect “A+” score, twenty eight (28) received A’s.  Two GOP Representatives received D’s and five received F’s.

In the Florida Senate, the average Democrat score was 34.12% and the average Republican Score was 89.93%.  Eleven (11) Republican State Senators received a perfect A+ score and one GOP Senator received an A.  One Republican Senator received a D and all Democrat Senators received F’s.

Legislators in both chambers receiving an A+ score will be invited to be publicly recognized and honored as a “Champion of the Family” at the Florida Family Policy Council’s 11th Annual Policy Awards Dinner on Saturday, August 27, 2016 in Orlando, where Dr. Ben Carson will be featured as the keynote speaker.
